came from Valensa Inter-

NEW YORK Five
years after U.S. invest-
ment bank Lehman
Brothers collapsed, trig-
gering a global financial
crisis and shattering con-
fidence worldwide, fami-
lies in major countries
around the world are still
hunkered down, too
spooked and distrustful to
take chances with their
money
An Associated Press
analysis of households in
the 10 biggest economies
shows that families con-
tinue to spend cautiously
and have pulled hundreds
of billions of dollars out of
stocks, cut borrowing for
the first time in decades
and poured money into
savings and bonds that
offer puny interest pay-
ments, often too low to
keep up with inflation.
"It doesn't take very
much to destroy confi-
dence, but it takes an
awful lot to build it back,"
said Ian Bright, senior
economist at ING, a global
bank based in Amsterdam.
"The attitude toward risk
is permanently reset."
A flight to safety on such
a global scale is unprece-
dented since the end of
World War II.
The implications are
huge: Shunning debt and
spending less can be good
for one family's finances.
When hundreds of mil-
lions do it together, it can
starve the global economy
Some of the retrench-
ment is not surprising:
High unemployment in
many countries means
fewer people with pay-
checks to spend. But even
people with good jobs and
little fear of losing them
remain cautious.
"Lehman changed
everything," said Arne
Holzhausen, a senior
economist at global in-
surer Allianz, based in
Munich. "It's safety, safety,
safety."
The AP analyzed data
showing what consumers
did with their money in
the five years before the
Great Recession began in
December 2007 and in the

Two injured in plane
crash near tailgaters
Two people were hospi-
talized Saturday after their
small plane towing a banner
crashed near tailgaters gath-
ered for the Florida Gators
football game against
Arkansas Razorbacks.
The plane's propeller
stopped and the pilot jetti-
soned the banner before
trying to make an emergency
landing in Flavet Field, said
University of Florida Police
Chief Linda Stump.
Images from the scene
show the mangled plane
atop an empty, overturned
pickup truck. No injuries on
the ground were reported.
Both people aboard the
plane were hospitalized
with non-life-threatening in-
juries, Stump said.

PARCC is a group of 18 states
-plus the District of Columbia and
the U.S. Virgin Islands -working
together to develop a common
set of K-12 assessments in Eng-
lish and math anchored in what it
takes to be ready for college and
the workforce. These new K-12
assessments would be intended
to build a pathway to college and
career readiness by the end of high
school, mark students' progress
toward the goal from third grade
and provide teachers with timely
information to guide instruction
and provide student support, ac-
cording to the PARCC website.


"Florida's families deserve
rigorous, clear standards that
will prepare our students for
success in college and career,"
said Commissioner of Education
Pam Stewart in a news release.
"We look forward to the public's
input, especially from teachers,
students and their parents who
are currently using these stan-
dards in their classrooms, to en-
sure that they meet our state's
high expectations."
The three public meetings will
take place Oct. 15,16 and 17.
The Oct. 15 meeting will be
from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Hillsbor-

FLORAL CITY
he aroma of barbecue
filled downtown Floral
City on Saturday as
mouths watered for a taste.
The third annual Bikes & BBQ,
which coincides with today's
Rails to Trails Bike Ride, lured
enthusiasts of food and crafts to
the Floral City Library grounds.
The Floral City Merchants As-
sociation recognized the oppor-
tunity for a community fundraiser,
and thus Bikes & BBQ was born.
"We are encouraging the bike
riders to come to Floral City a
day early," said Dudley Calfee,
president of the Floral City Mer-
chant's Association.

said John Messer. "We like to
cook and cook for fun. It is an op-
portunity for us to spend some
time together as a family We
have already won because we
are with family"
Visitors were also able to explore
cypress-shaded Floral City by
visiting the arts and craft show,
live music and other activities.
"The food was incredible,"
said Spring Hill attendee Lydia

barbecue but have no complaints."

Excitement,

frustration

characterize

'Obamacare'

rollout
Associated Press

MIAMI The federal
website that offers a key
provision of president
Obama's health law
launched this week with a
sputter, a crash and a lot
more web traffic than any-
one expected. But by week's
end, with most Floridians
still unable to access the
online marketplace and
sign up for health insur-
ance, organizations were
trying to build on momen-
tum even though there was
little they could do.
Most of the counselors
hired through federal grants
to help sign people up for
health insurance quickly
went to Plan B when the
website failed Tuesday
morning. Several commu-
nity health centers around
the state, fearing the worst,
printed paper applications
in advance, even translating
them into other languages.
Other groups took down
consumers' contact infor-
mation, promising to
schedule appointments
when the website begins to
work better
There was an odd mix of
excitement that the Af-
fordable Care Act was gar-
nering so much attention
and frustration that it was-
n't accessible.
John Foley, an attorney
and certified counselor for
Legal Aid Society of Palm
Beach County, said he's
tried unsuccessfully to log
into the system almost
non-stop since 5 a.m. Tues-
day A frustrated Foley
said his navigators would
not try again to enroll any-
one until Monday
"I am too worried to
even involve a consumer
at this point. I would hate
to see a problem in the
middle of the process," he
said. "I am very worried
that people will lose faith
in the system. Clearly we
are losing most, if not all,
of the momentum that was
built up leading to open
enrollment."
But federal health offi-
cials cautioned this was
just the first week in a six
month enrollment process.
Consumers don't need to
sign up until Dec. 15 to get
coverage on Jan. 1. They
have until the end up
March to sign up to avoid
tax penalties.
"This has never been
done before and this is a
historic moment ... we
think that's a tremendous
beginning to this program
and we're off to a good
start," said Julie Bataille of
the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services.


At shelter's 'Dogtoberfest,' pooches get to party


Special to the Chronicle
Citrus County Animal
Services will be hosting an
event called Dogtoberfest
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sat-
urday, Oct. 19 at 4030 Air-
port Road, Inverness. The
event is sponsored by Cit-


rus County Foundation for
Animal Protection (CCFAP)
as part of the grand open-
ing of the new exercise
yards for the shelter dogs.
The public is encour-
aged to come out and help
celebrate and honor those
who made these play and


exercise yards a reality In
March, when organizers
first began fundraising, the
goal seemed like a faraway
dream. Within a few months,
with the generous dona-
tions of county residents,
they raised more than
$11,000 to create four large


fenced yards for the dogs.
Spending some time out
of their confining cement
kennels has been hugely
beneficial to their physical
and emotional well-being.
They now get some time
where they can get sun-
shine, splash in kiddy pools


and run freely for a while.
Dogtoberfest promises
to be a fun day, with a shel-
ter "dog show," music, free
food, games and prizes and
a chance to take home a
new dog or cat
All dogs are fully vetted
and microchipped.

Elusive graffiti artist
Banksy hits NYC
NEW YORK Graffiti by the
secretive British artist Banksy is
turning up on the streets of New
York City and all over social
media.
Banksy announced on his
website that he is undertaking
"an artists residency on the
streets of New York" this month.
He's posting pictures of his
work on the website and fans
are plastering the images all
over Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram.
Jennifer Hawkins, who runs a
public relations agency in Chelsea,
posted pictures on Facebook
after finding "a Banksy sighting
right out my office backdoor," on
24th Street between Sixth and
Seventh avenues.
Spray-painted on a building
wall already defaced by illegible
scrawls, the graffiti shows a black
silhouette of a dog lifting his leg
on a fire hydrant, with the words
'You complete me" in a cartoon
bubble.
The Daily Telegraph, a British
outlet, has created an online
map to track the images. The
Museum of Modern Art posted
links on its Twitter feed with a
"Banksy watch" tag.
At least one of the works is gone
already, altered by other graffiti
artists and then whitewashed.
The picture, done on a wall in
Chinatown, showed a barefoot
boy with a cap standing on an-
other boy's back, pointing at a sign
that says, "Graffiti is a crime."
His website includes a toll-free
number and an online "Click here
to listen" button with commentary
on each image that spoofs the
pre-recorded tours commonly of-
fered at museum exhibits. The
commentary mispronounces his
name as Ban-sky and is read
against a soundtrack of cheesy

Graffiti by the secretive British artist Banksy is pictured Thursday
in New York. Banksy announced he is undertaking "an artists
residency on the streets of New York" this month.


One line from the tour says:
'You're looking at a type of picture
called graffiti, from the Latin graf-
fito, which means graffiti with an O."
The commentary goes on to say,
"Let us pause for a moment to
consider the deeper meaning of
this work. OK, that's long enough,"
later adding, "What exactly is the
artist trying to say here? ... Per-
haps it is a postmodern com-
ment on how the signifiers of
objects have become as real as
the object themselves. Are you
kidding me? Who writes this
stuff? Anyway, you decide."
Banksy who refuses to give
his real name began his ca-
reer in the British city of Bristol
spray-painting local buildings.
His works now fetch thousands
of dollars around the world.
Another of Banksy's New York
City efforts bears the words "This
is my New York accent" spray-
painted in classic graffiti-style
handwriting with "...normally I write
like this" in neat print underneath.
By Friday afternoon, the work
had been so tagged over by other
graffiti artists it was almost im-
possible to make out the original.
Welcome to New York,
Banksy.


Quilter wins $200K
ArtPrize contest
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.--A
quilter inspired by a Lake Michigan
lakeshore near her home was
declared the winner Friday of the
$200,000 ArtPrize competition.
Ann Loveless of Frankfort,
Mich., won the public voting at
the annual 19-day event in
Grand Rapids, Mich., which ends
Sunday. Her quilt is titled "Sleep-
ing Bear Dune Lakeshore,"
named for a national lakeshore
in northern Michigan.
It was displayed on a wall at
the Gerald R. Ford Presidential
Museum, one of 168 venues
showing ArtPrize entries, but was
moved to an outdoor tent after the
federal government shutdown
closed the museum. Loveless
said she has made art quilts for
10 years, but at 20 feet long, this
was the biggest so far. She and
her husband own State of the Art
Framing & Gallery in Beulah, Mich.
"I have a feeling our gallery's
going to be really busy," Loveless
said in a telephone interview.
"I'll probably sell out of quilts, but
I'll make more. I'll make more."

PICKERS

produces the fruit.
"You cannot pick them
on public lands without a
permit or on private lands
without the landowners'
permission," said Karen
Parker, Florida Fish and
Wildlife (FWC) spokes-
woman.
On public wildlife
refuge areas, the green,
brown or black berries are
a huge food source for
wildlife.
"Bears, gopher tortoises,
birds and other animals
feed on them," Parker
said.
Even if the berries ap-
pear abundant, Parker
said wildlife needs must
be met first. The berries
dropping on the ground
start the cycle to replenish
the wildlife food source.
"The berries are diffi-
cult to sow," Parker said.
"It takes two years for
them to germinate."
Timing is the obstacle to
issuing picking permits on
state lands because of dif-
ferent hunting seasons.
Berry harvesters would be
unsafe at present, for ex-
ample, Parker said, be-
cause it is archery season.
Permits are issued by the
Division of Forestry
Anyone who sees berry
harvesting on any public
lands FWC, Department
of Environmental Protec-
tion, Southwest Florida
Water Management Dis-
trict to name a few is en-
couraged to report it to the
FWC's Wildlife Alert Hot-
line at 888-404-3922, text
Tip@MyFWC.com or visit
MyFWC.com/Contact and
select "Report Violators."
Private landowners also
have felt invaded by berry
harvesters.
"We're fed up with the
trespassing," said a Pine
Ridge resident who didn't
want to be named to avoid
attracting others who
would trespass.
Others who live in the
equestrian community
likewise felt frustrated
about protecting their
property from berry pick-
ers. Many residents own


acreage left in its natural
state to ensure privacy, and
that privacy is breached by
the berry pickers.
Ironically, Pine Ridge
landowners can be so
shielded by their own
lands that only a neighbor
can spot and report a tres-
passer to the Citrus County
Sheriff's Office. Reporting
is exacerbated by property
owners who are part-time
residents or own property
as an investment. It may be
difficult to contact the
property owner when the
trespass occurs to press
charges.
The resident said ac-
cording to the CCSO, tres-
passers picking berries
represented no real
damage.
However, any entry on
private property without
the owner's consent
amounts to trespass. Fur-
thermore, removing some
forms of vegetation is cov-
ered as a criminal offense.
The Legislature added
"the fruit of the saw pal-
metto" to the definition of
agricultural products in
1997 because of the popu-
larity of the palmetto berry

The saw palmetto starts to fruit
in August and produces its last
berry in mid-October.


MAnTHEW BECK/Chronicle
Boxes of saw palmetto berries are stacked in front of
Three Rivers motel in Homosassa. A sign in a window of
one of the rooms offers to pay 87 cents per pound for the


berries.
berry a cash crop gave the
state status to levy penal-
ties against those con-
victed of poaching.
Depending on the amount
of fruit taken and a per-
son's criminal history, jail
terms range from one to
five years with fines up to
$10,000.
But in spite of the cash-
crop status, charges have
been dropped when a
landowner admits the
berries are of no
consequence.
Last year, an unem-
ployed North Naples man
was arrested in late August
after state wildlife officers
found him trying to haul
427 pounds of berries in
burlap sacks from private


property, according to the
Naples Daily News. But
the State Attorney's Office
in Southwest Florida
dropped charges after the
property owner said the
berries weren't worth any-
thing to him.
For many private
landowners, trespass is
the issue, not poaching.
"Every year, they're out
there picking the berries,"
Citrus County Sheriff's
Capt. Justin Ferrara said.
"The plants are indige-
nous. They are wild all
over the state of Florida.
Because there are that
many of them and there is
a venue to sell them at,
people are going to tres-
pass on various different


types of land to get the lit-
tle berries."
In Pine Ridge, Ferrara
said, the land is private, but
the roads are public.
Therefore, people who in-
tend to pick berries can
legally enter the neighbor-
hood, unlike a private
gated community such as
Black Diamond immedi-
ately east of Pine Ridge, or
a national refuge that re-
quires a daily use permit,
such as Chassahowitzka
Wildlife Management Area.
Ferrara said the offend-
ers are "trespassed," told
to leave the private prop-
erty and warned they will
be arrested any time they
return. He said the pres-
ence of berry pickers had
not shown an increase in
the incidence of other
property crimes, such as
thefts and vandalisms, in
the county
Factoring the arrest risk
and the nuisance element,
the herbal supplement has
no known long-term value
to make the trouble worth-
while. The effectiveness of
the palmetto berry for
prostate treatments has lit-


tle backing from physicians.
The U.S. Food and DrugAd-
ministration approved sev-
eral drugs to relieve
common symptoms associ-
ated with an enlarged
prostate, but saw palmetto
is not among them.
According to the Ameri-
can Cancer Society, "Some
clinical studies have found
that saw palmetto relieves
some symptoms of benign
prostatic hyperplasia
(BPH), or enlarged
prostate, such as difficult
and frequent urination.
However, at this time there
are no available study re-
sults that show that saw
palmetto can prevent or
treat prostate cancer"
Fortunately for privacy
seekers, and unfortunately
for harvesters, the season
ends this month. The saw
palmetto starts to fruit in
August and produces its
last berry in mid-October
Less bush rustling should
be apparent through win-
ter and spring.

RIDE
Continued from Page Al

A prayer was said, and
then riders began roaring
their engines in anticipa-
tion of the ride, which sig-
nified life and
remembrance to many
"I have a sister-in-law
who is a two-year breast
cancer survivor," said
Spring Hill resident and
rider Karla Lugo. "I
wanted to be a part of this
for her I ride myself, and
this was a way for us (with
her daughter Angelina
Lugo) to give back."
At the strike of 10 a.m.,
bikers headed to their
stops at the Dam Pub in
Lake Panasoffkee and

COMMENT
Continued from Page Al

years, a question developed about this
right to be heard when court decisions
noted members of the public had no
guaranteed right to speak at a public
meeting anywhere in Florida statutes.
But most public bodies, including the
BOCC, still allowed public comment.
SB 50's companion in the House of
Representatives was HB 23, sponsored by
state Rep. Ray Rodigues, R-Fort Myers.
"These bills restore a fundamental
constitutional right to the people of
Florida the right to speak to their
elected representatives at a public meet-
ing," said Florida First Amendment
Foundation President Barbara Petersen.
After the BOCC adopted the new ordi-
nance, several county residents expressed
concern they would be limited to that one
opportunity to speak early in the meeting.
It has been the practice of the commission
chairman to open up each motion before
the board to public comment. Residents
wondered if they would now lose that op-
portunity to speak as the right to be heard
after each proposed motion has not also
been guaranteed in Florida Statutes.
Commission Chairman Joe Meek was
unavailable for comment this past week,
but issued the following statement: "We
actively encourage and invite public par-
ticipation at our board meetings. In re-
sponse to the statutory requirement, the
public portion has been moved to the

first order of business, which will allow
the public to speak on any subject matter
important to them.
"In addition, the agenda is published
on the Thursday prior to the meeting,
which leaves time for the public to re-
view the agenda and notify the commis-
sioners of any concerns or questions they
may have. Public hearing procedures re-
quire citizen comment. Citizens will also
have the opportunity to give comment on
additional items not published with the
original agenda when the board consid-
ers those items."
Public comment will start immediately
following the roll call. It is during this
time residents can speak on agenda
items coming before the board. Each res-
ident will receive the same amount of al-
lotted time: three minutes for an
individual and five minutes for an indi-
vidual representing an organization.
Proclamations and recognition will be
scheduled for 1:30 p.m., with public hear-
ings and regular business to follow

WWII vet, oldest Medal

CRESSKILL, N.J. A
World War II veteran and
the nation's oldest living
Medal of Honor recipient
has died in New Jersey
Nicholas Oresko, an
Army master sergeant
who was badly wounded
when he single-handedly
took out two enemy
bunkers during the Battle
of the Bulge in 1945, died
Friday night at Engle-
wood Hospital and Med-

officials announced Sat-

Oresko had been hospi-
talized after injuring him-
self in a fall at an assisted
living center in Cresskill.
He died of complications
from surgery for a broken
right femur
A November 2011 article
on the Department of De-
fense website described
Oresko as the oldest living
Medal of Honor recipient
The medal is the nation's
highest military honor,
awarded by Congress for
risk of life in combat be-
yond the call of duty
A Bayonne native,
Oresko received the
Medal of Honor from
President Harry Truman
on Oct. 30,1945.
At 28, Oresko was the
platoon leader when auto-

were praised as key to the

The Bergen Record re-

that Oresko had no imme-

It was a dark ten years ago for all
those who love you, Donna. I have
learned our loss is not God's
punishment or God's attempt to test
us. God shares the hurt in our hearts
and wants to lead us to new hope
and peace. God grieves with us.
Our tears testify our love and tears
that spring from love help bring
healing and renewal. Of course, we
never get over our loss completely.
We go on with our lives celebrating
your life and our memories of you.
I pray for you and with you. The
love between us is a spiritual bond
death cannot sever.
Love, Mom

newspaper readers?
Florida is home to an estimated 1.3 million alligators.
That's one gator for every 14 people in the state!
But that figure pales in comparison to the 5.1 million
Floridians who read a daily newspaper yesterday.
And if yesterday was Sunday, the number of adults
perusing a paper jumps to 7.2 million. That's half of
all Floridians! Like alligators, newspapers have
been around a long time, and like alligators
they aren't going anywhere.

Is there a statute of limitations on spoilers?


Associated Press
NEW YORK-Rosebud
is a sled.
So goes the ending of the
1941 Orson Welles classic
"Citizen Kane," spoilers be
damned!
Revealing secret end-
ings and plot twists has
brought on wrath since the
dawn of cinema, straight
through VCRS to today's
DVR-fueled delays that
led to much nail-biting
over The Ending That
Shall Not Be Spoiled on
"Breaking Bad."
But exactly what is the
magic formula for spoiler
grace? When do calls of
SPOILER ALERT (insert
index fingers in the ears
here) expire so we can,
maybe, not feel so consti-
pated when discussing our
favorite fare in real time?
Does the 13-episode Net-
flix dump of "Orange is the
New Black" in July equal
two months of polite
spoiler-free behavior? Are
bets off when a show con-
cludes, or does that depend
on how many seasons late
adopters would have to
slowly, slowly slog through
- say Dexter's eight to
Breaking Bad's five?
Or is it up to the un-
spoiled viewer to avoid so-
cial media or catch up?
Get it done, people!
"I think asking people
not to spoil for some rea-
sonable amount of time is
fine, although anyone who
actually takes it seriously,

This image released by AMC shows Bryan Cranston, as Walter White, in the final scene
from "Breaking Bad." The popular series about a chemistry teacher-turned drug dealer
ended Sept 29. Revealing secret endings and plot twists has brought on wrath since
the dawn of cinema, straight through VCRS to streaming and DVRs. But exactly what
is the magic formula for spoiler grace?


i.e. gets mad or upset in the
event someone does, is an
idiot," said technology an-
alyst Melanie Turek in
Steamboat Springs, Colo.
"But that 'reasonable'
amount of time is, in my
mind, about 48 hours after
a live broadcast," she ex-
plained. "And once a se-
ries is off the air and the
hype has died down, ask-
ing people not to spoil is
just silly"
Others think keeping
some things quiet or at
least warning our Facebook


friends about potential
spoilers is what 21st-
century etiquette might ad-
vise. At least that's what the
ragers who decry spoilers
on social media hope for
Marketer Kim Puckett
in Indianapolis thinks
"we're all social media-
level entertainment re-
viewers now" so should
respect our written-word
audiences on newsfeeds
like Twitter or in status up-
dates on Facebook that
aren't easy to escape.
"Unfortunately, specific


status updates on key plot
points might be banned
forever," she said.
But in other contexts,
Puckett said, "as soon as
the show ends, office and
social talk should be al-
lowed about the show How
can we enjoy shows at a so-
cial level if we're always
worried that someone is
still on Season 1 of 'The
Killing' or halfway through
'Sons of Anarchy?"'
Justice is on the side of
those who want to blab on
Twitter or Facebook, ac-


cording to Paul Levinson,
a professor of communica-
tions and media studies at
Fordham University and
author of the book "New
New, Media."
The idea that "people
have a right to be free of
spoilers is absurd, and it's
an absurd misuse of the
term 'right,"' he said.
"You have a right to com-
municate," Levinson as-
sured. "I don't think anyone
is entitled to that kind of
grace. If you feel like writ-
ing something you're enti-
tled to write it as long it's
not slanderous or libelous
or breaking the law in some
way Why anyone would get
into a rage about entertain-
ment is beyond me."
He harkened back to
buzz over "The Crying
Game" and Dil's reveal as
a transgender woman,
along with "The Sixth
Sense" and the Bruce


Willis character being
dead. And there was grum-
bling over spoiling the pur-
gatory at the end of "Lost,"
at a time when social
media was well on its way
to engulfing us, he said.
"If the ending is really
atrocious, like 'Lost,' then
you're probably doing peo-
ple a favor by letting them
know," Levinson said.
Etiquette expert Lizzie
Post of the Emily Post In-
stitute sees no value in
people "posting a million
times, 'Don't spoil anything
for me, don't spoil anything
for me."' Walk away from
Facebook, shut down Twit-
ter if you have to, she said.
"If you're not living in the
current season, you have no
claim. It's fine if you have a
friend who's really into it
and you want to say, 'Don't
spoil it for me.' But you
can't ask the world around
you to completely bend."

'Walking Dead' brings new life to Ga. town

GRANTVILLE, Ga. -
When the cotton mill

Residents fled. Store-

decayed.
Over the decades, time
turned the remains of the
town into something al-
most post-apocalyptic, the
perfect modern-day set for
humans and "walkers" to
attack one another That's
how the hugely popular
TV show "The Walking
Dead" ended up coming to
town and bringing new life
to Grantville.
Several key scenes in
one episode from the AMC
series were filmed on and
near a one-block stretch of
antique buildings on
Grantville's Main Street.
The series' fourth sea-
son premieres on Oct. 13.
Crews have been filming
the new episodes in Geor-
gia, but they keep loca-
tions of future episodes
closely guarded secrets
until the shows air
In Grantville, the town's
ruins were featured
prominently last season.
Bodies of walkers slain on
the show were buried in a
vacant lot beneath the
brick archway remaining
from a cotton mill build-
ing. Gunshots were fired
from a nearby rooftop.
And actor Chandler
Riggs, who plays a boy on
the show, entertained him-
self between scenes by
placing pennies on the rail-
road tracks, the coins soon
smashed into souvenirs by
passing freight trains.
Now, every Saturday,
visitors from around the
country and the world turn
off Interstate 85 and onto a
two-lane highway that
leads to the tiny town 49
miles southwest of Atlanta.
Since last summer, more
than 3,600 visitors have
taken a free tour led by
Grantville Mayor Jim
Sells, who explains where

"Clear" episode during
which the character Mor-
gan makes it his mission to
"clear" walkers by killing

Zombies appear in a scene from the second season of the AMC original series, "The Walking Dead," in Senoia, Ga.
The series' fourth season premieres on Oct. 13. Crews have been filming new episodes in Georgia, but they keep
locations of future episodes closely guarded secrets until the shows air. In Grantville, Ga., the town's ruins were fea-
tured prominently last season. In nearby Senoia, many scenes are filmed in the historic downtown area, transform-
ing into the fictional town of Woodbury for the show.


them was filmed.
Visitors have come from
as far as Australia, Singa-
pore and Brazil, giving
new life to the town
through tourism, Sells
said. He calls it phenome-
nal, but adds: "We don't
understand it."
"Nobody came after
they filmed 'Lawless' and
'Broken Bridges' here," he
said, referring to movies
shot in the town.
"But once this episode
aired from The Walking
Dead, people started
showing up from all over"
The cotton textile indus-
try once fueled the econ-
omy of Grantville and the
other towns in Coweta
County, where a stretch of
Interstate 85 is named the
Alan Jackson Highway, for
the country singer who
grew up in nearby New-
nan and wrote the 1993 hit
song about the Chatta-
hoochee River
Grantville eventually be-
came known by residents
in the area as "the liquor
exit" it's the only place
in Coweta County to buy
bottled liquor But Sells
said that "when textiles
left, this town died."
Then came the film
crews.

destroyed train stations in
many Georgia towns near
the end of the Civil War,
Grantville's survived. The
mayor recalled how "Walk-
ing Dead" production
crews took just four hours
to transform the old freight
depot into a restaurant


where actors battled zom-
bies. The trains a few feet
away occasionally inter-
rupted filming, Sells said,
since railroads typically
don't share train sched-
ules with film crews.
Grantville is among a
handful of rural Georgia


towns undergoing a ren-
aissance, thanks to the
AMC show
In nearby Senoia, many
scenes are filmed in the
historic downtown area,
transforming into the fic-
tional town of Woodbury
for the show


In Haralson, tours are
offered each weekend for
fans to enter the barn that
was the scene of an am-
bush. They can hold an
M16 out the same window
as one "Walking Dead"
actor did.
Other tours are offered
in Atlanta, where a memo-
rable scene from the
show's first season was
filmed atop the roof of the
old Norfolk Southern
headquarters on the
southern edge of down-
town. Another key scene -
a massive battle involving
dozens of walkers and a
military tank took place
in the Fairlie-Poplar His-
toric District.
On a recent Saturday in
Grantville, visitors gath-
ered at Station 22 Grill, as
groups do every Saturday,
to watch the "Clear"
episode, the 12th in the
show's third season. Pro-
duction crews blocked off
Main Street for 15 days for
filming.
Many townspeople know
the dialogue by heart. A
dishwasher behind the bar
mouths the words: "You
said that you would turn
on your radio every day at
dawn.... And you were not
there!"

So, just who wears the

sweatpants in this house?


A after Sue wrote "Wash me" with
her finger in the dust on the most
expensive piece of exercise
equipment I own, I joined the health
club. At home, I just wasn't getting it
done. I'd walk past the equipment 20
times a day and say to myself, "I'll do
that right after lunch." After lunch, I'd
think, "It can wait 'til after dinner But
should you really exercise after a heavy
meal? I'll do it in the morning."
Besides, there's so much other stuff to
do at home, so many distractions an-
swer the phone, let out the cat, vacuum
the carpets, let in the cat, do the laundry
let out the cat, go on an errand, let in the
cat shop for dinner, let in the cat oh,
he's already in, visit Facebook, check my
email, let out the cat and
watch that TV infomercial It' S SO (
about how much better I'd
feel and look if I just bought to see
this one piece of exercise who ot

thing the other one doesn't, don'
But it turns out that lying
on the sofa, watching wearing
"Duck Dynasty," eating Hot ar
Pockets and listening to the gear,

really melt away the don'1
pounds. Owning it isn't

impossible to stick to a reg-

Besides, you don't really
need any fancy equipment foot b
to do pushups, crunches or
squats; you just have to do baski
them. If you're not already wearing
exercising without the ing
equipment, you won't sud- and ba,
denly start exercising with
it. That's why I joined the jerseys
health club. Once you're
there, there's not much don'
else to do but exercise, noti
The thing I like about my
health club is that I am not anyr
the most out-of-shape per-
son there. They seem to have gone to
great lengths to find people who are as
lazy and paunchy as I am, or worse,
which is a comfort. And absolutely no
one there looks like they are going to win
a gold medal in weightlifting or beach
volleyball in the next Olympics. It's full
of normal people like schoolteachers
and bank tellers, trying to keep one step
ahead of dreaded couch potato buildup.

I had to buy a new gym bag and some
sweats, so I'm pawing through the sweat-
pants at the Shop and Go Away and
everything on the shelf is size 4XL, 3XL
or 2XL. Obviously, if you are buying the
4XL, you are either a professional athlete
or you don't sweat very much. I've also
noticed that a lot of people
ommon in this store are wearing
sweatpants even though
people they're not at the gym.
When I was in school,
Viously after we exercised, we
t run changed back into our
S school clothes and put the
running smelly gym clothes in our
lockers. Sweatpants weren't
t0 see something you'd wear when
you weren't actually in the
* who gym or onthe field. Now
play people go to the mall in
sweat clothes; they fly across
hearing the country in them. It's so
common to see people who
ogs, to obviously don't run wearing
p running gear, to see people
pie who who don't play tennis wear-
play ing tennis togs, to see people
who don't play football or
all or basketball wearing football
and basketball jerseys that
balll we don't even notice it any-
more. I don't know what
football you're wearing as you read
ket ball this, but however casual it is,
w there's probably somebody
that we in line down at the bank
wearing something even less
even appropriate.
It strikes me that the
ie it fashion industry should
Iore. take note of what the
sportswear designers are
doing that is, name their
clothing for what people should be
doing when they wear it. If they can
make running shorts and swimsuits and
yoga pants, why can't they make Flying
On An Airplane clothing? Supermarket
Shopping clothing? Waiting For The Bus
clothing? Applying For a Job clothing?
They could do it without breaking a

FAMILIES
Continued from PageAl

Kingdom, Brazil, Russia,
Italy and India which
have half the world's pop-
ulation and 65 percent of
global gross domestic
product
Key findings:
RETREAT FROM
STOCKS: A desire for
safety drove people to
dump stocks, even as
prices rocketed from crisis
lows in early 2009. In-
vestors in the top 10 coun-
tries pulled $1.1 trillion
from stock mutual funds in
the five years after the cri-
sis, or 10 percent of their
holdings at the start of that
period, according to Lipper
Inc., which tracks funds.
They put more even
money into bond mutual
funds $1.3 trillion -
even as interest payments
on bonds plunged to
record lows.
SHUNNING DEBT:
In the five years before the
crisis, household debt in
the 10 countries jumped 34
percent, according to
Credit Suisse. Then the fi-
nancial crisis hit, and peo-
ple slammed the brakes on
borrowing. Debt per adult
in the 10 countries fell
1 percent in the 4 1/2 years
after 2007. Economists say
debt hasn't fallen in sync
like that since the end of
World War II.
People chose to shed
debt even as lenders
slashed rates on loans to
record lows. In normal
times, that would have
triggered an avalanche of
borrowing.
HOARDING CASH:
Looking for safety for their
money, households in the
six biggest developed
economies added $3.3 tril-
lion, or 15 percent, to their
cash holdings in the five
years after the crisis,
slightly more than they did
in the five years before, ac-
cording to the Organization
for Economic Cooperation
and Development.
The growth of cash is re-
markable because mil-
lions more were
unemployed, wages grew
slowly and people di-
verted billions to pay down
their debts.
SPENDING SLUMP:
To cut debt and save more,
people have reined in their
spending. Adjusting for in-
flation, global consumer
spending rose 1.6 percent a
year during the five years
after the crisis, according
to PricewaterhouseCoop-
ers, an accounting and con-
sulting firm. That was
about half the growth rate
before the crisis and only
slightly more than the an-
nual growth in population
during those years.
Consumer spending is
critically important be-
cause it accounts for more
than 60 percent of GDP
THE DEVELOPING
WORLD NOT HELPING
ENOUGH: When the finan-


cial crisis hit, the major de-
veloped countries looked
to the developing world to
take over in powering
global growth. The four big
developing countries -
Brazil, Russia, India and
China recovered quickly
from the crisis. But the po-
tential of the BRIC coun-
tries, as they are known,
was overrated. Although
they have 80 percent of the
people, they accounted for
only 22 percent of con-
sumer spending in the 10
biggest countries last year,
according to Haver Analyt-
ics, a research firm. This
year, their economies are
stumbling.
Consumers around the
world will eventually
shake their fears, of
course, and loosen the
hold on their money But
few economists expect
them to snap back to their
old ways.
One reason is that the
boom years that preceded
the financial crisis were fu-
eled by families taking on
enormous debt, experts
now realize, not by healthy
wage gains. No one expects
a repeat of those excesses.
More importantly, econ-
omists cite psychological
"scarring," a fear of losing
money that grips people
during a period of collaps-
ing jobs, incomes and
wealth, then doesn't let go,
even when better times re-
turn. Think of Americans
who suffered through the
Great Depression and
stayed frugal for decades.
Although not on a level
with the Depression, some
economists think the psy-
chological blow of the fi-
nancial crisis was severe
enough that households
won't increase their bor-
rowing and spending to
what would be considered
normal levels for another
five years or longer
To better understand
why people remain so cau-
tious five years after the
crisis, AP interviewed con-
sumers around the world.
A look at what they're
thinking and doing -
with their money:

Americans sold the most
in the five years after the
crisis $521 billion, or 9
percent of their mutual
fund holdings, according
to Lipper But investors in
other countries sold a
larger share of their hold-
ings: Germans dumped 13
percent; Italians and
French, more than 16 per-
cent each.
The French are "not very
oriented to risk," said Cyril
Blesson, an economist at
Pair Conseil, an investment
consultancy in Paris. "Now,
it's even worse."
It's gotten worse in
China, Russia and the
U.K., too.
Fu Lili, 31, a psycholo-
gist in Fu Xin, a city in
northeastern China, said
she made 20,000 yuan
($3,267) buying and selling
stocks before the crisis,
more than 10 times her

she won't touch them now,
because she's too scared.
In Moscow, Yuri
Shcherbanin, 32, a man-
ager for an oil company,

stocks were dangerous and
he should content himself
with money in the bank.

buy "We're terrified of
doing that."
Such attitudes are rife
when it has rarely been
cheaper to borrow around
the world.
"A whole new genera-
tion of adults has come of
age in a time of dimin-
ished expectations," said
Mark Vitner, a senior econ-
omist at Wells Fargo, the
fourth-largest U.S. bank.
"They're not likely to take
on debt like those before
them."
Or spend as much.
After adjusting for infla-
tion, Americans increased
their spending in the five
years after the crisis at
one-quarter the rate be-
fore the crisis, according
to PricewaterhouseCoop-
ers. French spending
barely budged. In the U.K.,
spending dropped. The
British spent 3 percent
less last year than they did
five years earlier, in 2007.
High unemployment has
played a role. But econo-
mists say the financial cri-
sis, and the government
debt crisis that started in
Europe a year later, has
spooked even people who
can afford to splurge to cut
back.
Arnaud Reze, 36, owns a
home in Nantes, France,
has piled up money in sav-
ings accounts and stocks,
and has a government job
that guarantees 75 percent
of his pay in retirement.
But he fears the pension
guarantee won't be kept.
So he's stopped buying cof-
fee at cafes and cut back
on lunches with colleagues
and saved in numerous
other ways. "Little stupid
things that I would buy left
and right... I don't buy any-
more," he said.
Even the rich are spend-
ing cautiously
Five years ago, Mike
Cockrell, chief financial
officer at Sanderson
Farms, a large U.S. poultry
producer in Laurel, Miss.,
had just paid off a mort-
gage and was looking for-
ward to the extra spending
money Then Lehman col-
lapsed, and he decided to
save it instead.
"I watched the news of
the stock market going
down 100, 200 points a day,
and I was glad I had cash,"
he said, recalling the steep


drops in the Dow Jones in-
dustrial average then. "That
strategy will not change."
The wealthiest 1 percent
of U.S. households are sav-
ing 30 percent of their
take-home pay, triple what
they were saving in 2008,
according to a July report
from American Express
Publishing and Harrison
Group, a research firm.
After years of saving
more and shedding debt,
the good news is that many
people have repaired their
personal finances.
Americans have slashed
their credit card debt to
2002 levels. In the U.K.,
personal bank loans, not
including mortgages, are
no larger than they were in
1999. In addition, home
prices in some countries
are rising.
So more people have the
capacity to borrow, spend
and invest more. But will
they?
Sahoko Tanabe of Tokyo,
63, lost money in Japan's
stock market crash more
than two decades ago, but
she's buying again. "Abe-
nomics," a mix of fiscal
and monetary stimulus
named for Japan's new
prime minister, has ignited
Japanese stocks, and she
doesn't want to miss out.
"You're bound to fail if you
have a pessimistic atti-
tude," she said.
But for every Tanabe,
there seem to be more
people like Madeleine
Bosco, the Californian who
ditched many of her credit
cards. 'All of a sudden you
look at all these things
you're buying that you
don't need," she said.
Attitudes like Bosco's
will make for a better
economy eventually -
safer and more stable -
but won't trigger the jobs
and wage gains that are
needed to make
economies healthy now
"The further you get
away from the carnage in
'08-'09, the memories
fade," said Stephen
Roach, former chief econ-
omist at investment bank
Morgan Stanley, who now
teaches at Yale. "But does
it return to the leverage
and consumer demand we
had in the past and make
things hunky dory? The
answer is no."


that runs deeper: "People
feel like they're being
ripped off everywhere,"
she said.
Holzhausen, the Allianz
economist, said the crisis
taught people not to trust
others with their money
"People want to get as
much distance as possible
from the financial system,"
he said.
The crisis also taught
them about the dangers of
debt.
After the crisis hit, Jerry
and Madeleine Bosco of
Tujunga, Calif, found
themselves facing $30,000
in credit card bills with no
easy way to pay the debt off.
So they sold stocks, threw
most of their cards in the
trash, and stopped eating
out or taking vacations.
Today, most of the debt
is gone, but the lusher life
of the boom years is a dis-
tant memory
"We had credit cards
and we didn't worry about
a thing," said Madeleine,
55.
In the U.S., debt per
adult soared 54 percent in
the five years before the
crisis. Then it plunged,
down 12 percent in 4 1/2
years, although most of
that resulted from people
defaulting on loans. In the
U.K., debt per adult fell a
modest 2 percent, but it
had jumped 59 percent be-
fore the crisis.
Even Japanese and Ger-
mans, who weren't big bor-
rowers in the years before
the crisis, cut debt- 4 per-
cent and 1 percent,
respectively
"We don't want to take
out a loan," said Maria
Schoenberg, 45, of Frank-
furt, Germany, explaining
why she and her husband,
a rheumatologist, decided
to rent after a recent move
instead of borrowing to

Tiger attacks worker at


Oklahoma animal park


Associated Press
WYNNEWOOD, Okla. -
A tiger ripped up the left
arm of a worker at a cen-
tral Oklahoma animal
park after the woman
stuck her hand into the
giant cat's enclosure
Saturday
Joe Schreibvogel, owner
of Garold Wayne Interac-
tive Zoological Park in
Wynnewood, said the
woman was in surgery Sat-
urday afternoon at an
Oklahoma City hospital
where doctors were trying
to save her arm.
"He tore her arm up
pretty bad," Schreibvogel
said. "Her entire arm was
still attached. It was badly,
badly damaged."
Co-workers quickly
tended to the woman be-
fore she was airlifted to
the hospital, he said.
"She pulled her own
arm out. The tiger didn't
maul her The tiger was in
his cage, and she violated
his space by sticking her
arm into his space,"
Schreibvogel said, adding
that the park has a strict
rule against introducing
any body part into a wild
animal enclosure.
Schreibvogel withheld
the woman's name be-
cause he hadn't been able
to contact her family He
said she is in her early 20s.
"She's actually the su-
pervisor of the cats. But
when you work with these
things every day, you tend
to let your guard down and
think they're pets, that
they're like dogs. They're
not they're tigers," he
said.

Schreibvogel said the
tiger, a mixed breed that
he rescued, is about 14
years old.
"He weighs over 400
pounds (but) never has
ever showed a bit of ag-
gression," he said.
Schreibvogel said the
tiger may have thought the
woman's jacket was a toy
or may have been at-
tracted by the smell of the
goose down.
"It could have been a
whole lot worse. We're just
glad it wasn't. When they
took her into surgery, she
was talking about coming
back to work," Schreibvo-
gel said.
He said the woman's job
will be waiting for her
"She will probably be


one of the best leaders
now to help make sure
safety protocols are fol-
lowed," Schreibvogel said.
The tiger won't be euth-
anized, Schreibvogel said.
The park, which was
closed after the incident,
features big cats, bears,
monkeys, zebras and other
animals. The mission
statement on its website
says the park's focus is res-
cuing "abandoned, mis-
placed and abused
animals, as well as those
animals whose owners can
no longer care for them."
The website says the
park, since opening in
1997, has rescued more
than 1,400 animals and
placed more than 1,200 in
zoos and sanctuaries.

Man who set himself
ablaze on Mall dies
WASHINGTON -A man
who set himself on fire on
the National Mall in the U.S.
capital has died of his injuries,
which were so severe that
authorities will have to use
DNA and dental records to
identify him, District of Co-
lumbia police said Saturday.
The man died Friday
night at a Washington hos-
pital where he had been air-
lifted, Officer Araz Alali, a
police spokesman, said.
The man poured a can of
gasoline on himself in the
center portion of the mall
Friday afternoon. He then set
himself on fire, with passing
joggers taking off their shirts
to help douse the flames.
Police are investigating the
man's possible motives.
No report of violence
by officer at rally
NEW YORK -Authori-
ties are investigating whether
an undercover police officer
present at a motorcycle rally
witnessed a violent con-
frontation between an SUV
driver and a swarm of bik-
ers and didn't immediately
report it, a law enforcement
official said Saturday.
The officer came forward
several days after the Sept. 29
rally to say he was present,
according to the official, who
was not authorized to speak
publicly about the investiga-
tion and spoke to The Asso-
ciated Press on condition of
anonymity. The officer has
an attorney, and internal af-
fairs detectives are trying to
determine whether he wit-
nessed the assault on the
SUV driver, the official said.
New York Police Depart-
ment spokesman John Mc-
Carthy said a detective had
been stripped of his gun and
badge pending the outcome
of an internal investigation.
Last weekend, dozens of
bikers stopped the Range
Rover SUV on a highway,
attacked the vehicle, then
chased the driver and pulled
him from the car after he
plowed over a motorcyclist
while trying to escape, po-
lice said. The driver, Alexian
Lien, needed stiches after
being pummeled.

gets $17,500 tip
SPRINGFIELD, Ore.-
An Oregon bartender just
got the tip of a lifetime.
One of Aurora Kephart's
regulars at Conway's
Restaurant and Lounge in
Springfield often tips her
with Keno tickets from the
Oregon Lottery. On Tuesday
evening, the man asked
Kephart to choose two.
When she checked the
numbers, Kephart's first ticket
won $5. The second turned
into a $17,500 gratuity.
"The look on his face was
incredible," Kephart, 25,
told The Register-Guard
newspaper. "I automatically
handed it back to him; it
was his ticket."
But the man wouldn't
take the ticket.
Kephart said she gave the
man a percentage of her
winnings. "I just couldn't not
give him some of it," she said.

WASHINGTON A
rare flash of bipartisan-
ship Saturday served as a
cruel tease to those hoping
Congress is moving toward
reopening the government
and averting an unprece-
dented default on the fed-
eral debt in less than two
weeks.
Only two days after House
Speaker John Boehner
raised hopes by telling col-

NEW ORLEANS
ropical Storm Karen stalled
off the Louisiana coast
Saturday night as a weak-
ened system that still threatened
to bring strong wind and heavy
rain to vulnerable low-lying areas.
The National Weather Service
said Saturday evening that the
storm was stationary but still ex-
pected to move across or near the
southeast Louisiana coast late
Saturday or early Sunday, then
track eastward and lose strength.
It had spent the day either
stalled or moving slowly

land town of Grand Isle, said

GAFFNEY, S.C.- There aren't
many secrets in a place like Gaffney,
so when two heating and air condi-
tioning workers suddenly quit their
jobs and began buying stuff like a big
screen TV, a used car and a riding
lawn mower with $100 bills so old
they didn't even have the off-center
portrait of Benjamin Franklin, peo-
ple started talking.
Police said all that talk got back to
Lois Brown, who had hired those men
a few days earlier and made them a
deal. She told the workers just before
her husband died seven years ago,
he said he hid thousands and thou-
sands of dollars in the basement.
Her family had never found the money
If the workers discovered the
cash, Brown said, they would be in
for a big reward.
After hearing about their free-
spending ways, Brown went to Joey
Reed and Elie Spencer and made an
offer Keep what they bought and a


and to ponder the chasm
between two warring par-
ties, each of which seems
convinced it's on the win-
ning side morally and po-
litically
There was, however, re-
lief Saturday for thou-
sands of furloughed
Pentagon workers and the
promise of back pay for all
federal workers who have
been forced off the job.
The Pentagon on Satur-
day ordered at least 90
percent of its roughly
350,000 furloughed civilian
employees back to work,
significantly reducing the
number of sidelined fed-
eral workers. In all, about
800,000 federal workers


had been furloughed.
The Defense Depart-
ment said the recall is
based on a law passed by
Congress this week that al-
lows the Pentagon to end
furloughs for "employees
whose responsibilities
contribute to the morale,
well-being, capabilities
and readiness of service
members."
The larger stalemate
over reopening the federal
government persists.
Boehner, asked Saturday
whether Congress was any
closer to resolving the im-
passe, replied: "No." Aides
close to Boehner say he
has not figured out how to
end the gridlock.


The town, roughly 60 miles
south of New Orleans, remained
under a mandatory evacuation
order amid worries that the only
mainland road in and out might
get swamped with water
The National Hurricane Cen-
ter in Miami discontinued tropi-
cal storm watches across much of
the Gulf Coast, including metro
New Orleans, but a portion of
southeast Louisiana remained
under a tropical storm warning.
Karen had maximum sustained
winds of 40 mph, making it a
weak tropical storm. It was about
170 miles west-southwest of the
mouth of the Mississippi River at
7 p.m. It was forecast to track
northeastward then travel east.
The National Weather Service
said storm surges of 1-to-3 feet
were possible along the southeast
Louisiana and Mississippi coast.

federal employees for the
work days they are missing
- was a thin victory Con-
gress made the same deal
after the mid-1990s shut-
downs, and Saturday's 407-0
vote was widely expected.
Still, it triggered the sort
of derisive quarreling that
has prevented Congress
from resolving the larger
funding and debt dilem-
mas.
"Of all the bizarre mo-
ments" involved in the de-
bate, said Rep. Lloyd Doggett,
D-Texas, "this may be the
most bizarre: that we will
pay people not to work."


In low-lying Plaquemines
Parish, La., officials changed an
evacuation order from manda-
tory to voluntary Saturday after-
noon. More than 80 evacuees
from the area, at the state's
southeastern tip, had taken
refuge at a public shelter, which
would remain open Saturday
They gathered in an audito-
rium where they rested on cots,
watched for weather updates on
TV and chatted outside on the
front steps.
Were Karen to maintain tropi-
cal storm strength at landfall,
it would be only the second

ing an unusually quiet hurri-

the workers, Blanton said.
"They quit their jobs the day after
they found the money" Blanton said.
"And they didn't waste any time
spending it."
The story begins with a repair job
at the large, white, two-story farm-
house with the wrap-around porch
that Brown shared with her husband
for decades before he died. He
founded a business that sold small
crane games, arcade games and other
amusement devices. He also was in
real estate and kept large amounts
of cash around, Blanton said.
After Brown's husband died in
2003, his family searched for the
cash he had hidden in the basement
Each time someone came to work
at the old house, Brown offered a re-
ward if the workers found the money
It was the same offer she made to
Reed and Spencer in September 2010,
but they left the three-day job with-
out telling her anything, police said.
The spending spree started a few
days later

String of attacks in
Iraq kill nearly 50
BAGHDAD -A suicide
bomber blew himself up
among a crowd of Shiite pil-
grims in Baghdad and an-
other detonated his explosives
inside a cafe north of the
capital, the deadliest of sev-
eral attacks across Iraq on
Saturday that killed at least
48 people.
The killings also included
attacks on journalists and
anti-extremist Sunni fighters.
The pilgrims were targeted
late Saturday as they passed
through the largely Sunni
neighborhood of Azamiyah
en route to a prominent
shrine in the nearby Shiite
neighborhood of Kazimiyah,
according to police officials.
At least 24 people, includ-
ing four policemen manning
the checkpoint, were killed
and 50 others were
wounded, the officials said.
Around the same time,
another suicide bomber
blew himself up in a cafe in
the town of Balad, a largely
Shiite town surrounded by
Sunni communities about
50 miles north of Baghdad.
Balad Mayor Malik Lefta
said at least 13 people
were killed and 22 were
wounded in that attack.
There was no immediate
claim of responsibility for
the day's violence.
US forces take
al-Qaida leader
WASHINGTON -A U.S.
official says American forces
have captured an al-Qaida
leader in Libya linked to the
1998 U.S. Embassy bomb-
ings in east Africa.
The official identifies the
leader as Nazih Abdul-
Hamed al-Ruqai, known by
his alias Anas al-Libi. He has
been wanted by the U.S. for
more than a decade.
Relatives of al-Libi say
he was seized outside his
house Saturday in the
Libyan capital of Tripoli.
Agreement ends
shelling of village
BEIRUT Syrian gov-
ernment forces reached an
agreement Saturday with
local officials of a vulnera-
ble Sunni village in a region
dominated by President
Bashar Assad's Alawite sect
to end hours of deadly
shelling, an activist group
said.
The shelling of al-Mitras
began at dawn, killing eight
civilians while fierce fighting
between rebels and govern-
ment forces on the outskirts
of the village left 20 soldiers
dead or wounded, the
Britain-based Syrian Obser-
vatory for Human Rights
said. The violence ended
when local officials and dig-
nitaries from the village per-
suaded dozens of defectors
and rebels to surrender to
authorities with the promise
that they would be freed
after repenting.
Such deals have been
used in the past to end
bouts of heavy fighting as
the two sides find them-
selves stalemated.

n the summer of 1962, I was a telephone lineman
in the U.S. Army stationed in Fort Meade, Md.
In July of that year, I was abruptly transferred to a
combat unit and shipped out on a reassignment to
an unknown location.
After three and a half days of trains, convoys and
marching, we arrived at our destination, Key West.
Unbeknown to us we were preparing defenses for a
Cuban Invasion. And prepare we did, installing HAWK
missile installations from Miami, through the Keys to
Key West and actually setting up machine gun nests on
Smathers Beach.
On Oct 27,1962, we were prepared to board a ship at the Key West Naval
Base to invade Cuba. Fortunately, we received the order to stand down in the
early morning hours.
Key West in the early 1960s was a military town, period. Of their approxi-
mately 18,400 residents, 15,000 were military personnel stationed at a dozen
bases. Among the remaining 3,400 residents were a substantial Cuban popula-
tion. Most of the stores, restaurants and bars were Cuban owned and most of the
many people I met there were Cuban. I spent a great deal of my spare time in
the Cuban community

Daughter afraid


to talk to parents


D ear Annie: I am a
24-year-old col-
lege student who
still lives with my par-
ents. I love them and my
two siblings very much,
and I know that they love
me. However, they are
neither understanding
nor supportive when
anyone makes a mistake.
As a result there is not
much I feel I can tell
them.
Usually, I
can handle
my problems
by myself, but
some things
are difficult
to handle
alone. A few
months ago, I
suffered a
miscarriage.
My father
once told us
that if we ANN
ever got preg- MAIL
nant before **
marriage, we
would be disowned. I re-
alize parents often say
things to scare some
sense into their children,
but I know my parents,
and they would do it
I have not told them
about the miscarriage,
nor do I plan to. I am
going through some emo-
tional upheaval: sad-
ness, anger, guilt for not
taking enough precau-
tions to prevent the preg-
nancy and a lot of
confusion.
My boyfriend is won-
derful, loving and sup-
portive. But I wish more
than anything that I


I
.E


could rely on my parents
and siblings for support.
Here's a message to all
parents, siblings and
family members: Please
let us know we can come
to you for support and
caring. Though you
might be angry, try not to
overreact. When you fail
to do this, it can have
larger consequences
than you realize. -
Grieving
Dear Griev-
ing: Our condo-
lences on your
loss. We think
most parents
would regret
knowing their
child felt too
uncomfortable
or fearful to
come to them
for support,
and you might
E'S let them know
BOX this is the im-
____ pression they
give. There are
many support groups
specifically for women
who miscarry We
recommend SHARE at
nationalshare.org.

VETERANS NOTES


r Of SPECIAL NOTE


Vets sought for


The Veterans Appreciation Week
Ad Hoc Coordinating Committee
will conduct its annual Veterans in
the Classroom program Nov. 1 to 12
as part of its 21st annual Veterans
Appreciation Week activities.
Coordinated by the Citrus County
Chapter of the Military Officers As-
sociation of America (MOAA), the
Veterans in the Classroom program
brings living history to the class-
rooms of the county's public and
private schools, as well as home-
school groups.
Veterans share with students


assroom program

their firsthand military experi-
ences and travels while serving our
country in uniform.
The program's success has
generated the need for additional
veterans to share their experiences
with students. Persian Gulf,
Afghanistan, Iraq, Air Force, Na-
tional Guard and women veterans

MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle
Earl "Bud" Shott of Crystal River retired from the United States Army as a sergeant major after serving 26 years.
His service included three tours in Vietnam.


Crystal River veteran does duty with military police


C.J. RISAK
Correspondent


When Earl
"Bud" Shott
Jr enlisted
in the U.S.
Army in May 1954, he
wasn't yet 18 and he had
not yet graduated from
high school. Those would
both happen quickly
enough; what wouldn't
come quickly was an end
to his Army career
Shott, who grew up and enlisted in
Lebanon, Pa., did a tour of duty in
Hanau, Germany where he earned
his GED before leaving the service
in September 1957. However, his mili-
tary career was just beginning.
Shott tried to re-enlist after he was
laid off from work on his return to
civilian life, but at first he couldn't.
"They said I had too many depend-
ents," he said (Shott was married
while stationed in Germany, and he
had three children).
He did, however, join the National
Guard, inadvertently signing up for its
military police corps. When National
Guard units were federalized during
the Berlin Crisis in 1960, Shott found
himself back in the Army and en-
rolled in Military Police School in Fort
Gordon, Ga.
"I was in the military police
from the time I was reactivated
until the time I retired," the
current Crystal River Village
resident said. Shott's span of
service, which would last until
May 1984, would take him
down many trails including
three tours in Vietnam and
ultimately to the rank of ser-
geant major
"I loved it," Shott said. "I loved the
military police. The only assignment I
didn't like was when I was in Panama
(from 1961-64). It was so hot, I had 22
uniforms and I would change three
times a shift."
He served in Vietnam in 1967-68,
1970-71 and 1972-73. Dur-
ing his first two tours of
duty, Shott was heavily -t W
involved in convoy escort %.sT",
duty; he supplied security
for military supplies dur-
ing the Tet Offensive in -.
January 1968.
Memories, both good and .
bad, punctuated his time in .-
the service, and his time in
Vietnam. During his second
tour, for example, Shott was i n
charge of the detail for the US, 1 j
show at Freedom Hill, near D.1
Nang, when a familiar voice (e re- *
galed him from behind, asking
him how things were going. When t-
he turned to answer, Shott found
himself addressing Bob Hope.


Special to the Chronicle


Shott Returning from convoy escort, Cam Rahn Bay, in 1967.


Who you might run into was only
part of the equation, particularly in
Shott's line of work-which included
his capacity in AWOL (absent without
official leave) apprehension; where
became the real riddle.
For example: Shott and his partner,
Bob Dalton, were stationed at Fort

while. Finally, they were ready to give
up when, just before leaving, Dalton
played a hunch. He stuck his hand up
the fireplace and pulled down a leg -
the AWOL soldier attached.
Of the myriad memories that Shott
has to this day, there is one he will al-
ways have to claim for himself
"I was the last military
policeman out of Region 1 in
Vietnam," he said.
That was in 1973, a tour dur-
ing which he was in charge of
security for the Four Power
(U.S., North Vietnam, South
Vietnam and Vietvong delega-
tions) Joint Military Commis-
sion. "In fact, I
was the last

Shott recalled with a grin.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


CUBA
Continued from PageA17

I was discharged from
the Army in 1964 and I fig-
ured in three or four
years, the Embargo would
be lifted and I could visit
Cuba.
Fifty two years later, I
still cannot visit, so I
joined a group tour with a
license to visit and
headed to Cuba.
Our tour began on June
21, with a 60-minute flight
from Fort Lauderdale to
Santa Clara, Cuba. This is a
city located in central
Cuba and was the site of
the final battle in the
Cuban Revolution that top-
pled the Batista regime.
As we traveled under a
People to People license,
we spent most of our time
with the locals. We visited
the Che Guevara Memo-
rial and Museum. Che is
everywhere in Cuba and
he is revered by the
people.
We then went to the
Museo de Artes Decora-
tivos to meet musicians
who set Cuban life to
rhythm on traditional in-
struments. Then on to the
Community Project for
the Elderly which reveals
how art, music and dance
play a crucial role in the
everyday lives of the in-
spiring residents.
The following day we
travel South (by a large,
comfortable, air condi-
tioned bus) to Cienfuegos,
on the Caribbean Sea. We
take a walking tour of the
city and are constantly
amazed by the number of
old cars. We visit shops,
Teatro Terry, which once
hosted Enrico Caruso,
and the town square.
Here again the signs of no
maintenance are every-
where. We attend a pri-
vate convert by Cantores
de Cienfuegos. A choir
created from the popula-
tion and some of the most
beautiful music I have
ever heard.
The following day we
continue to explore Cien-
fuegos Province, arriving
at the Botanical Gardens.
Home to 2,000 species of
exotic plants, including
400 types of orchids, it is
the tropics at its best
Returning to the city,
we take a walking tour
We visit the main food
market, enjoy the archi-
tecture of the town square
and meet merchants.
After an overnight stay
at the Pearla del Mar
hotel on the water, we are
off to Trinidad.

is so well preserved, some

call it an open air mu-
seum. A local guide shows
us the cathedral and the
Palicio Cantero, home of
the historical museum.
Our next stop is a ra-
tioning store where we
see how the meager es-
sentials of life are distrib-
uted. Then on to a local
ceramics studio, owner
operated as part of Raul
Castro's relaxing of the
socialist doctrine.
While talking with the
owner, I am led to the
rear storage area of the
studio. And there I see a
serviceable 1903 Ford sit-
ting on blocks. In my
whole life and I haven't
seen one, yet here it is in
Cuba.
We are then off to Man-
aca Iznaga, a sugar mill
and plantation estate. We
enjoy an excellent lunch
and then operate the
sugar press, by hand.
This, or course, gives new
meaning to "hard work."
The following morning
we begin our journey to
Havana. Our first stop is
the Bay of Pigs Museum
and then the town of Cale-
ton near the landing
beach. We then visit Casa
Enrique at Playa Larga.
This is our lunch destina-
tion in a private home on
the water We have a dis-
cussion with Enrique con-
cerning the operating of a
business in Cuba. We also
enjoy a biologist explain-

ing the make up of the is-
land. From here, we
travel to Havana on the
only "express" road on
the island. Again, sadly in
need of maintenance.
We are housed in the
Hotel Terrell on the water
for the duration of our
visit. Excellent hotel, ex-
cept the elevator is bro-
ken and they cannot seem
to obtain parts.
We start the day with a
one-hour Spanish lesson
at the University of Ha-
vana. The pace is fast,
loud and entirely in Span-
ish. I learned nothing.
Then we are on a walk-
ing tour of Havana. With


3,000 Baroque, neoclassi-
cal and colonial buildings
we learn first hand from
the architect in charge of
this massive project.
Lack of maintenance
has caused much
deterioration and basic
services such as water,
electricity and sewer are
compromised.
We are shown many re-
construction projects. All
work is done manually
and there were no short-
age of workers.
I am again amazed at
the beauty of the build-
ings and the lack of main-
tenance. In most cases, it
has been 50-plus years

Rays on the brink of elimination


Boston claims Game 2 ofALDS to

take commanding 2-0 series lead


Associated Press
BOSTON David Ortiz
homered twice, the second shot
chasing David Price in the
eighth inning on Saturday night
and the Boston Red Sox beat the
Tampa Bay Rays 7-4 to take a 2-
0 lead in the AL division series.
It was the first two-homer
postseason game for the Red
Sox designated hitter, who was
a star for the 2004 Boston team
that won the franchise's first
World Series title in 86 years
and is the only player remain-
ing from that club.
"When he hits two home runs,
things are going to revolve


around him," Red Sox manager
John Farrell said. "He's the
main cog in our lineup."
Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits
and scored three runs for the AL
East champions and Dustin Pe-
droia drove in three runs.
The Rays will need a victory
in Game 3 on Monday in St. Pe-
tersburg to avoid a sweep in the
best-of-five series. They won
three win-or-go-home games
this week just to reach this
round, including Price's com-
plete game in the tiebreaker
against Texas to determine the
second AL wild-card team.
But with the situation not yet
desperate, Price allowed seven


runs on nine hits and two walks,
striking out five. He took the
mound for the eighth inning,
but Ortiz hit his second pitch
high over the Pesky Pole, and
right-field umpire Chris Guc-
cione signaled it fair
There was no such suspense
for Ortiz's other homer, which
went into Boston bullpen in the
first inning to make it 2-0. Not
even right fielder Wil Myers, who
misplayed a Big Papi popup into
a double in right field in Boston's
Game 1 win on Friday, could be
blamed for that one.
John Lackey lasted just 5 1/3
innings for Boston, allowing
four runs on seven hits and
three walks. He struck out six
and also hit a batter while get-
ting the win. Koji Uehara struck
out the first two batters in the
ninth before retiring Myers on a
grounder

GAINESVILLE Solomon
Patton turned two short recep-
tions into touchdowns, helping
No. 18 Florida beat Arkansas
30-10 Saturday night.
The 5-foot-9 senior nicknamed
"Solo" was pretty close to being a
one-man show in the Swamp.
Patton finished with six
catches for a career-high 124
yards. He also ran for a first
down. But his longest gains
went the distance and were key
to Florida (4-1,3-0 Southeastern
Conference) winning its ninth
consecutive game in the series
and 10th in a row at home.
Tyler Murphy, making his
first start at Florida Field, com-
pleted 16 of 22 passes for 240
yards and three scores an-
other efficient and effective
outing from a fourth-year junior
who somehow couldn't get on
the field the last three years.
The Razorbacks (3-3, 0-2) ran
the ball well early against the
league's best defense but fell
behind on Loucheiz Purifoy's
interception return in the sec-
ond quarter for a touchdown
and faded from there.
Purifoy had a sack and forced
fumble in the first quarter, ex-
tending Florida's streak with a
takeaway to 16 games. The
Gators also have intercepted a
pass in eight straight games.
Arkansas looked sharp for a bit
gashing the Gators on the ground
and taking a 7-0 lead on Jonathan
Williams' nifty cutback run.
Williams started left, slammed
into defensive end Ronald Pow-
ell, bounced out of the would-be
tackle and then headed the other
direction. He picked up a block
from quarterback Brandon Allen
and pretty much walked into the
end zone for a 4-yard score.
But it was ended up being
one of the few bright spots for
Arkansas, which hasn't beaten
Florida since 1982 a decade
before the Razorbacks entered
the SEC.
Things might be worse for the
Razorbacks, too. Starting cor-
nerback Will Hines injured his
right arm and left the field on a
cart, and starting center Travis
Swanson also left the game.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE


Americans close to Presidents Cup


Associated Press

DUBLIN, Ohio The Ameri-
cans are assured of being in the
lead going into the final round of
the rain-plagued Presidents Cup.
Zach Johnson holed out from
the 15th fairway for eagle to
complete a swift turnaround in
foursomes and give the Ameri-
cans yet another point toward
winning the Presidents Cup for
the fifth straight time.
Johnson and Jason Dufner
won six of eight holes to go from
2 down to a 4-and-3 win over
Richard Sterne and Marc Leish-
man. That was the only four-
somes match that finished
before it became too dark to play
Saturday at Muirfield Village.
Another rain delay kept the
matches from finishing for the
second straight day, this time be-
cause of the work needed to


drain the saturated golf course.
The four matches were to re-
sume Sunday morning, followed
by an early start to the 12 singles
matches because of more rain in
the forecast.
The win by Johnson and
Dufner gave the Americans an
111/2-61/2 lead, meaning they were
assured at least a one-point lead
going into singles.
Early in the foursomes ses-
sion, the board was filled with
blue International scores on the
front nine. Steve Stricker and
Bill Haas warmed up their put-
ters and went from 1 down to a
2-up lead through 10 holes. Phil
Mickelson and Keegan Bradley,
who rallied earlier in a fourballs
match to win, were 3 down
through seven holes when Mick-
elson made two big putts that led
to them squaring the match

first two periods.


'As good as the offense played
today, I thought the defense
played better," Fisher said. "The
defense, I thought, was the story
of the day They really took the
show"

Big matchups in the NFC North
Big matchups in the NFC North


Packers host

Lions looking

to gain ground

Associated Press

The Pack is back on
the field, that is, after a
bye. And the first chore is
a big one: Green Bay
needs to beat Detroit at
Lambeau Field or fall far
behind in the NFC North.
Not that Chicago, the
other contender in the di-
vision through the first
month of the season, has
an easy challenge on Sun-
day, either The Bears host
undefeated New Orleans.
Not much has gone the
way the Packers projected
early in the schedule, and
their only victory is against
struggling Washington.
The fourth-week bye
helped them heal up, and
now they feel it's time to
make a statement in the
division before it's too late.
Besides, their 21-game,
regular-season home win-
ning streak against Detroit
is the longest in NFL his-
tory
"If we were 3-0, the fact
that it's a division game is
pretty important, adds a
little more significance to
the game," defensive
tackle B.J. Raji said.
"We're aware that a good
team is coming in here, but
I believe if we play well,
we'll have a good chance."
Chicago comes off a
sloppy loss at Detroit, and
faces the prolific New Or-
leans offense. Even with
the Saints on a short week
after Monday night's romp
over Miami, the game offers
little comfort for the Bears.
"Their ability to run the
ball, their ability to pass the
ball," Bears safety Chris
Conte said, listing what im-
presses him about the
Saints. "They have (run-
ning back Darren) Sproles,
who is a big threat, and
they also have Jimmy Gra-
ham; guys on the outside,
Marques Colston tons of
guys who can just push the
field, fast guys. And their
ability Drew Brees to
move safeties and find guys
deep.
"They're doing a great
job."
Today, it's New England
at Cincinnati, Seattle at In-
dianapolis, Baltimore at
Miami, Kansas City at Ten-
nessee, Denver at Dallas,
Houston at San Francisco,
San Diego at Oakland, Car-
olina at Arizona, Philadel-
phia at the New York
Giants, and Jacksonville at
St. Louis.
Monday night's matchup
has the New York Jets at
Atlanta.
Off this week are Min-
nesota and Washington,
both 1-3, Tampa Bay and
Pittsburgh, both 0-4.
Detroit (3-1)
at Green Bay (1-2)
The Lions can score -


Green Bay's bye week did wonders for Packers linebacker Clay Matthews and his sore hamstring.


so can the Packers, of
course and their offense
has nice balance with the
emergence of Reggie Bush
as a force. Bush comes off
a 173-yard game, including
a 37-yard touchdown run
against the Bears, and has
been a perfect comple-
ment for star receiver
Calvin Johnson.
"Eventually teams are
going to have to loosen up
on Calvin or Reggie is
going to continue to have
big days like that," Lions
coach Jim Schwartz said.
"That's a good position to
be in offensively"
Detroit leads the NFC
with eight picks, so Aaron
Rodgers needs to be
careful.
New Orleans (4-0)
at Chicago (3-1)
Careful isn't necessarily
in Drew Brees' vocabulary
because even when he
gambles, such as throwing
into triple coverage to
Jimmy Graham, the bril-
liant tight end comes up
with a TD catch.
Still, the Bears are a
ball-hungry bunch on de-
fense, leading the league
with 14 takeaways, and
will need to be aggressive.
If they expect their offense
to keep pace with the
Saints, that could be a pipe
dream.
New England (4-0)
at Cincinnati (2-2)
Other than Tom Brady,
the one player the Patriots
probably couldn't afford to
have go down is nose
tackle Vince Wilfork. He
did against Atlanta with a
torn Achilles tendon, so
New England will be with-
out the heart of its im-
proved defense.
Expect the Bengals to


respond with a heavy dose
of former Patriot Ben-
Jarvus Green-Ellis and
rookie Giovani Bernard
running the ball.
Brady has never lost to
the Bengals (4-0) and the
Patriots have won six
straight regular-season
road games.
Seattle (4-0)
at Indianapolis (3-1)
OK, no more question-
ing the Seahawks' road
skills after that gutsy
comeback victory at Hous-
ton. Seattle's defense
should be good enough to
win anywhere, so this will
be a test because Indy is
showing some versatility
with the ball.
Most fun to watch here
might not be second-year
QBs Andrew Luck against
Russell Wilson, but the
running game with power-
houses Marshawn Lynch
for Seattle and Trent
Richardson for Indi-
anapolis.
Baltimore (2-2)
at Miami (3-1)
After that stinker in Buf-
falo, the Ravens are in a
tough spot. They need Joe
Flacco to avoid turnovers
(five interceptions against
the Bills) and for the run-
ning game with Ray Rice
and Bernard Pierce to
wake up.
The Dolphins were sent
back to Earth by New Or-
leans last weekend, and a
previously staunch de-
fense was exposed, partic-
ularly in pass coverage.
Plus, QB Ryan Tannehill is
getting hit too much, on
pace to set a team record
for being sacked and per-
haps threaten the league
mark of 76.


Kansas City (4-0)
at Tennessee (3-1)
The Titans' turnaround
could get derailed with
emerging quarterback
Jake Locker out for sev-
eral weeks with a hip in-
jury. At least they have a
veteran backup in Ryan
Fitzpatrick, and they'll
likely turn to Chris John-
son and the ground game
more often.
Kansas City, only the
second franchise to go 4-0
after a two-win season, is
winning with solid de-
fense, especially the pass
rush, and a conservative
attack. The Chiefs had
their first giveaways last
Sunday, yet still routed the
Giants.
Denver (4-0) at Dallas (2-2)
Peyton Manning's 16 TD
passes are the most
through four games in any
season, on pace for 64,
which would shatter Tom
Brady's record of 50.
Dallas has allowed 10
touchdown throws already
but at least the Cowboys
can get after the quarter-
back, with 14 sacks. They
have little chance of pulling
off an upset if they can't
slow Manning and crew
"We didn't get to Philip
Rivers enough, we did not
make him uncomfortable,"
coach Jason Garrett said,
referring to last week's
loss at San Diego. "We
done a good job in the first
three games making the
quarterback's job hard
and we were sacking him,
and hitting him and getting
him off the spot. We didn't
do that last week. We have
to do that this week."
Houston (2-2)
at San Francisco (2-2)
Yet another quality


matchup, with both sides
having something to prove
as they look up in their di-
vision.
The Niners were awful
in their last home game
and got manhandled by
the Colts. Then they blew
out St. Louis in a short
week and have had plenty
of time to prepare for the
Texans.
Houston, which trails
Indy and Tennessee in the
AFC South, dominated
Seattle, the NFC West
leader, for more than a
half last Sunday, then
folded. San Francisco's
ultra-aggressive defense
will go hard after QB Matt
Schaub.
New York Jets (2-2) at
Atlanta (1-3), Monday night
It's getting to be a dire
time for the Falcons, who
have gone from nearly
making the Super Bowl to
an also-ran behind the
Saints in the NFC South.
Their defeats have been
close, but that might be
even more worrisome -
can they close the deal?
They rank 29th in red zone
efficiency
Getting the inconsistent
and banged-up Jets in
prime time could be the
cure all, especially if New
York's normally reliable
defense struggles the way
it did at Tennessee.
San Diego (2-2)
at Oakland (1-3)
Break out the caffeine to
stay awake for this one. The
Raiders share a stadium
with the Athletics, and a
baseball playoff game was
scheduled there Saturday
night, 8:35 local time.
The Chargers' offense
can be dynamic and
Rivers is off to a good start,


behind only Manning in
passer rating. Oakland's
pass defense is decent, but
must slow down TE Anto-
nio Gates, who is back to
top form.
Carolina (1-2)
at Arizona (2-2)
Coming off a 38-0 rout of
the Giants, the Panthers
believe they are ready for
some steady success. A
stumble here would set
them back significantly
The key could be whether
Arizona's run defense,
ranked second, can stop the
No. 3 rushing game Car-
olina brings. The Panthers
let QB Cam Newton run
more against New York,
and it worked brilliantly
Philadelphia (1-3)
at New York Giants (0-4)
An Eagles win could lift
them into a tie for first
place in the avert-your-
eyes NFC East if Dallas
falls to Denver Then
again, if the Giants win,
they'd be back in con-
tention.
Philly's defense can't
seem to cover or tackle in
the open field, but it likely
will concentrate on rush-
ing Eli Manning, who's al-
ready been sacked 14
times. New York has only
four sacks, and chasing
down Michael Vick isn't
easy
Jacksonville (0-4)
at St Louis (1-3)
Even with the Rams
struggling no running
game, inconsistent de-
fense they are a big fa-
vorite over the Jaguars.
Gus Bradley's first stint as
a head coach has been un-
rewarding so far in Jack-
sonville, where people are
beginning to whisper the
dreaded "0-16."

Tide rolls over foe


Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. AJ Mc-
Carron completed 15 of 16 passes
for 166 yards and four touchdowns
in the first half and Alabama
rolled 45-3 over Georgia State.
The Crimson Tide (5-0) jumped
ahead 38-0 by halftime against the
Panthers (0-5), a first-year Foot-
ball Bowl Subdivision team.
McCarron led Alabama to touch-
downs on each of his five posses-
sions before leaving the game. He
completed his first 12 passes, put-
ting him in a three-way tie for the
Tide's third-longest streak.
The four touchdown passes tied
his career high and was the sev-
enth time McCarron has reached
that number Alabama outgained
the Panthers 477-175 and held
them to 15 yards rushing.
No. 2 Oregon 57,
Colorado 16
BOULDER, Colo. Marcus Mariota
threw five touchdown passes and ran
for two scores as Oregon brushed off
some early trickery to rout Colorado.
The Ducks' sophomore connected
for two touchdowns each with Josh
Huff and Bralon Addison, and played
only 21/2 quarters.
The Buffaloes had Folsom Field in
a frenzy when they kept things tight
early on, but the crowd didn't like it
when Colorado kept going for field
goals while the Ducks were piling up
the points.
Oregon (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) has
scored at least 55 points in all of its
games under first-year coach Mark
Helfrich, a former offensive coordina-
tor at Colorado, who took over when
Chip Kelly left to coach the Philadel-
phia Eagles.
No. 3 Clemson 49,
Syracuse 14
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -Tajh Boyd
kept his Heisman Trophy aspirations
intact, throwing for 455 yards and five
touchdowns in three quarters of work,
and Clemson spoiled the Orange's At-
lantic Coast Conference debut.
Boyd, who matched his school
record in TD passes, hit Adam
Humphries with scoring passes of 60
and 42 yards in the first quarter to
help stake the Tigers to a big early
lead, and they held the Orange at bay.
Clemson (5-0, 3-0 ACC) entered
the game as one of just 20 unde-
feated teams remaining in the Bowl
Subdivision, and the Tigers made
sure they wouldn't slip up against the
Orange (2-3, 0-1) and their raucous
Homecoming crowd of 48,961 by tak-
ing a 21-0 first-quarter lead.
No. 6 Georgia 34,
Tennessee 31
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Marshall
Morgan kicked a 42-yard field goal in
overtime after No. 6 Georgia scored a
tying touchdown with 5 seconds left in
regulation as the Bulldogs overcame
numerous injuries and beat Ten-
nessee 34-31.
Tennessee's Alton "Pig" Howard
capped the first overtime possession
by losing control of the ball as he dove
toward the front corner of the end
zone. Howard's play was initially ruled
a 7-yard touchdown, but replays
showed he fumbled prior to crossing
the goal line, turning the potential
score into a turnover and touchback.
Georgia (4-1, 3-0 SEC) forced over-
time on Aaron Murray's 2-yard touch-
down pass to Rantavious Wooten to
make it 31-all. Rajion Neal's 7-yard
run had put Tennessee (3-2, 0-1)
ahead 31-24 with 1:54 left.
No. 7 Louisville 30,
Temple 7
PHILADELPHIA-Teddy Bridgewa-
ter threw for 348 yards and two touch-
downs to keep Louisville undefeated.
Bridgewater made it look easy
against the overwhelmed Owls (0-5, 0-
2 American Athletic Conference). He
threw for 228 yards in the first half to
help the Cardinals roll to a 24-0 lead.
The Cardinals (5-0, 1-0) lost a bid
for their second straight shutout when

second half Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Ala.


Temple scored with 38 seconds left.
Louisville receiver DeVante Parker,
who has six touchdown catches this
season, left in the first half with an in-
jured right shoulder. Without one of
his favorite targets, Bridgewater was
still impressive, completing 25 of 35
passes. He threw a TD pass for the
17th straight game.
No. 10 LSU 59,
Mississippi St 26
STARKVILLE, Miss. Zach Met-
tenberger threw for 340 yards and two
touchdowns, Odell Beckham Jr. had
179 yards receiving and two TDs, and
No. 10 LSU pushed past Mississippi
State 59-26.
Mettenberger completed 25 of 29
passes in another impressive per-
formance during the senior's breakout
season. Beckham was his favorite tar-
get the two hooked up for nine
completions.
LSU's Jeremy Hill added 157
yards rushing and two touchdowns.
The Tigers (5-1, 2-1 Southeastern
Conference) have won 14 straight
over Mississippi State (2-3, 0-2) dat-
ing back to 1999.
No. 11 Oklahoma 20,
TCU 17
NORMAN, Okla. Brennan Clay
broke a 76-yard touchdown run late in
the fourth quarter and No. 11 Okla-
homa held off TCU 20-17.
Trey Millard had a touchdown run
for the Sooners (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) and
Michael Hunnicutt hit field goals of 39
and 32 yards. Oklahoma and Texas
will meet next Saturday in the annual
Red River Rivalry in Dallas with first
place in the conference on the line.
Oklahoma opened with seven
straight defensive 3-and-outs, after
finishing a 35-21 win at Notre Dame
last Saturday with three. The 10
straight 3-and-outs was the longest
such streak recorded by the Sooners
since at least the 2003 season.
No. 13 South Carolina 35,
Kentucky 28
COLUMBIA, S.C. Connor Shaw
passed for a touchdown and ran for
another as No. 13 South Carolina,
playing without injured defensive end
Jadeveon Clowney, held off a Ken-
tucky comeback for a 35-28 victory.
The Gamecocks (4-1,2-1 South-
eastern Conference) again let a large
lead slip away and once more were
able to come away with a victory. The
Wildcats (1-4, 0-2) rallied from 21-0 to
pull to 27-21 on Jalen Whitlow's 14-
yard touchdown pass to Ryan Tim-
mons with 11:50 remaining.
They were still within a touchdown
after Whitlow bulled his way to a


1-yard scoring run with four minutes
left. But the Gamecocks ran out the
clock behind SEC leading rusher Mike
Davis and beat Kentucky for the 13th
time in the last 14 meetings.
Clowney was out with bruised ribs.
No. 19 Michigan 42,
Minnesota 13
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Devin Gard-
ner threw a 24-yard, go-ahead touch-
down pass to Devin Funchess late in
the first half and Michigan pulled away.
The Wolverines (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) re-
lied on their running game to take pres-
sure off the turnover-prone Gardner. He
didn't throw an interception for the first
time since making his first start as a
quarterback last year at Minnesota.
The Golden Gophers (4-2, 0-2) were
without coach Jerry Kill for an entire
game for the first time because of his
epilepsy. He had a seizure Saturday
morning, when he planned to travel to
Michigan to coach in the game, and re-
mained home to rest in Minnesota.
The Wolverines have won 18
straight games at home.
No. 20 Texas Tech 54,
Kansas 16
LAWRENCE, Kan. Freshman
sensation Baker Mayfield passed for
368 yards but was helped off the field
with an apparent leg injury in the third
quarter of Texas Tech's victory.
Mayfield, a true freshman walk-on
who has started every game, was
hurt at the end of the third quarter
when tackled while passing. There
was no penalty. He hobbled very
slowly off the field with someone help-
ing him under each arm. He was 33
of 51 with one interception.
After falling behind in the first quar-
ter 10-0, the Red Raiders reeled off
54 straight points, going to 5-0 (2-0
Big 12) under first-year head coach
Kliff Kingsbury for the first time since
2008.
No. 21 Okla. St. 33,
Kansas St. 29
STILLWATER, Okla. J.W. Walsh
found Charlie Moore for a 6-yard
touchdown pass with 4:16 left in the
fourth quarter to help Oklahoma
State rally.
Walsh finished 24-of-38 passing for
245 yards for the Cowboys, who nar-
rowly avoided their second straight
loss after a defeat at West Virginia last
week.
After falling behind 29-23 in the
fourth quarter, Oklahoma State (4-1,
1-1 Big 12 Conference) drove 75
yards in six plays. Walsh was 4-of-5
passing on the drive, including the go-
ahead touchdown pass to Moore.
Ben Grogan later added a field goal


for the Cowboys, one of four in the
game for the freshman.
No. 23 Fresno St. 61,
Idaho 14
MOSCOW, Idaho Derek Carr
threw five touchdown passes as No.
23 Fresno State pounded Idaho, scor-
ing at least 40 points for the fifth time
this season.
Davante Adams caught three
touchdown passes for Fresno State
(5-0), which is off to its best start since
2001, when the Bulldogs won their
first six games.
Idaho (1-5), coming off a win over
Temple in coach Paul Petrino's first
season, didn't score until the fourth
quarter against the first ranked oppo-
nent to play in the Kibbie Dome since
Boise State in 2010.
Auburn 30,
No. 24 Mississippi 22
AUBURN, Ala. Nick Marshall
ran for 140 yards and two touch-
downs, Robenson Therezie scored
on a 78-yard interception return and
Auburn held off No. 24 Mississippi
30-22 for its first win over a Top 25
team in two years.
Marshall's second scoring run gave
Auburn a 27-9 lead in the third quar-
ter. The Tigers lost two turnovers in
the fourth quarter to help the Ole Miss
comeback attempt.
Ole Miss was held to only three field
goals before Bo Wallace threw a 49-
yard touchdown pass to Donte Mon-
crief in the third quarter and added a
12-yard scoring pass to Moncrief mid-
way through the fourth quarter.
Auburn (4-1,2-1 Southeastern
Conference) already has topped its
win total from last season, when it fin-
ished 3-9 overall and 0-8 in the SEC.
Ole Miss (3-2, 1-2), coming off a
25-0 loss at No. 1 Alabama, has lost
two straight.
Notre Dame 37,
No. 22 Arizona State 34
ARLINGTON, Texas Tommy
Rees threw for 279 yards and three
touchdowns, and Notre Dame made it
5 for 5 in the traveling Shamrock Se-
ries with a 37-34 victory against No.
22 Arizona State.
Kyle Brindza kicked three second-
half field goals, the go-ahead kick
from 25 yards with 3:03 remaining. He
tied a Notre Dame record with a 53-
yarder that matched the longest in a
college game at the $1.2 billion home
of the Dallas Cowboys.
It was the second win in Texas in
the five-year Shamrock run of home
games on the road for the Irish (4-2).


No. 14 Miami pulls away, tops Georgia Tech


Associated Press

MIAMI GARDENS -
Stephen Morris threw for
three touchdowns, Duke
Johnson rushed for 184
yards and No. 14 Miami
remained unbeaten after
shaking off a problematic
opening quarter to beat
Georgia Tech 45-30 on
Saturday.
Phillip Dorsett, Clive
Walford and Allen Hums
caught scoring passes for
Miami (5-0, 1-0 Atlantic
Coast Conference), which
scored 21 points in the
final 7:15. Dallas Crawford
ran for two scores in the
fourth quarter, and Ladar-
ius Gunter added a 30-
yard interception return


for another touchdown
with 1:08 left.
David Sims had two
rushing touchdowns for
Georgia Tech (3-2, 2-2),
which wasted a 17-point
lead against Miami last
season and blew another
double-digit advantage
Saturday- plus missed a
fourth-quarter extra point
that would have tied the
game. The Yellow Jackets
led 17-7 after controlling
the first quarter, then
wound up losing to Miami
for the fifth straight time.
It's Miami's best start
since opening 6-0 in 2004.
South Florida 26,
Cincinnati 20
TAMPA--Nate Godwin


scored on a long blocked field
goal return and DeDe Latti-
more scooped up a fumble for
another touchdown to help
South Florida begin American
Athletic Conference play with a
26-20 victory over Cincinnati,
which was playing for the first
time since one of its players
was killed in a car accident.
The Bearcats (3-2, 0-1)
spent a difficult bye week
grieving, attending red-shirt
freshman Ben Flick's funeral
and making hospital visits in
addition to practicing. They
were looking forward to play-
ing a game to help things get
back to normal.
Two hours before kickoff,
the entire Cincinnati team
gathered at the midfield at


Raymond James Stadium,
forming a circle around the
USF logo to pray. A moment
of silence in Flick's memory
was observed before the
opening kickoff. Two other
players were injured in the
wreck, and one of them re-
mains hospitalized.
UCF 24,
Memphis 17
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Two
UCF touchdowns in 9 seconds
late in the fourth quarter gave
the Knights a come from behind
24-17 victory over Memphis in
the American Athletic Confer-
ence opener for both teams.
The scores came in un-
usual ways as lineman Chris
Martin recovered a fumble in


the end zone with 2:05 left for
UCF (4-1, 1-0 AAC) to tie the
game at 17.
On the ensuing kickoff,
Memphis returned Marquis
Warford fumbled when he was
tackled by UCF's William
Stanback. Drico Johnson
grabbed the ball and ran 12
yards for the Knights' 24-17
lead.
Memphis' Joe Craig re-
turned the next kickoff almost
100 yards for an apparent
score, but it was nullified by a
holding penalty. The Tigers (1-
3, 0-1) then marched to the
UCF 6 before a halfback pass
by Brandon Hayes was inter-
cepted in the end zone by
linebacker Terrance Plummer,
ending the Tigers threat.

NFL team hopes to rally around moving forward
N F t a h o p e s . . . . . . . . "W e can 't tu rn on each oth er'

Associated Press

TAMPA The young quarter-
back who once provided hope
for the future has been jetti-
soned, and a season that began
with high expectations is rapidly
slipping away
The winless Tampa Bay Buc-
caneers are in disarray, and it'll
take more than a bye week to fix
the mess coach Greg Schiano
has on his hands on and off
the field.
"I think we have a strong
locker room," Schiano said.
"Our guys are locked in on what
we need to do."
If only it were that simple.
A disintegrating relationship
between the organization and
unhappy quarterback Josh Free-
man grew more contentious by
the day until the fifth-year was
released Thursday-just a quar-
ter of a season after becoming
the first 4,000-yard passer in fran-
chise history and helping the of-
fense set numerous club records.
Rookie Mike Glennon made
his first start as Freeman's re-
placement last week, but barely
sparked the team in a 13-10 loss
to Arizona. An improved de-
fense, bolstered by the offseason
acquisition of cornerback Dar-
relle Revis and safety Dashon
Goldson, has failed to protect

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have turned the starting quarterback job to rookie Mike Glennon.


leads in the final two minutes in
three of the team's four losses.
The Bucs (0-4) have dropped
nine of 10 games overall dating
to last season, raising the ques-
tion whether a coaching change
could be on the horizon.
Team history suggests no, how-
ever, the Bucs have never had a
situation quite like this one.
The Glazer family, which owns
the team, has spent generously
in free agency to upgrade the
roster since Schiano's hiring
after the 2011 season. And while
they've never fired a coach dur-
ing the season, they've also
shown they won't hesitate to
abruptly pull the plug when they


feel change is necessary
Tony Dungy was dismissed
after a disappointing playoff
loss. Jon Gruden, who won
Tampa Bay's only Super Bowl
title after replacing Dungy, was
axed with three years remaining
on his contract.
Schiano has said he doesn't
think his job is in jeopardy De-
spite benching and eventually
releasing Freeman in what he
described as a "performance-
based" decision, the coach in-
sists the pieces are in place to be
successful.
"We have good players, proven
methods, good schemes, good
coaches. When you have all


those good components and
you're doing things the right way
it'll turn," Schiano said.
"Everybody that's been in
competitive athletics goes
through some stretches where
they wish it was better ... Now
you're kidding yourself if you
don't have the components.
Then you're just wishing," he
added. "I know we have the com-
ponents, so we've just got to stick
to our guns and it'll turn."
Despite Schiano's insistence
that Freeman's situation was not
a distraction, teammates clearly
had become weary of talking
about his benching.
Glennon is a third-round pick


t
t.


defensive tackle Gerald McCoy
said. "It's times like this where you
see teams start to crumble, be-
cause internally they start to im-
plode. (We) can't do that We have
to get stronger... look in the mirror
first, see what we did as individu-
als wrong, what we can do better
and then lift each other up."
Two of the team's three losses
with Freeman in the lineup
came on last-second field goals.
The Bucs led the Cardinals 10-0
entering the fourth quarter be-
fore Glennon lost a fumble and
threw two interceptions, helping
Arizona rally to spoil an other-
wise solid if unspectacular -
performance.
The Bucs' open date gives him
an extra week to prepare for his
next start, at home against
Philadelphia.
The 23-year-old Glennon, a
former backup to Russell Wilson
at North Carolina State before
becoming Wolfpack starter as a
junior, is quickly getting accli-
mated to his new role as the lead
voice on offense.
"Those guys have done a really
good job making me feel com-
fortable. They've been extremely
complimentary and encourag-
ing, they know that the quarter-
back is in control of the huddle,
and those guys have all eyes on
me when I walk in," Glennon
said. "They've really just done a
really good job of kind of making
me feel like I belong out there
and that I'm in charge."


Kenseth wins Nationwide race at Kansas Speedway


Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -
Matt Kenseth is proving to
be unbeatable at Kansas
Speedway
The winner of the last
two Sprint Cup races at the
track, Kenseth got into his
Nationwide car and drove
it to victory Saturday, tak-
ing advantage of a contro-
versial late-race wreck that
involved Brad Keselowski
and Kyle Busch to conserve
enough fuel for the end.
"We had a lot of speed
right off the truck. It felt
really good," Kenseth said.
"I thought it was the best
car we had all year at an
open track."
Kenseth crossed the fin-
ish line well ahead of Paul
Menard, who got around
Regan Smith on the final
lap to take second. Busch
finished fourth and Justin
Allgaier was fifth.
The outcome was almost
an afterthought, though, to
the renewal of a long-
standing feud between Ke-
selowski and Busch that
has threatened to spill
over into today's Sprint
Cup race.
Their teams locked in a
battle for the owner's


championship, the two
were side-by-side in the
closing laps when Busch
got into Keselowski's left
rear That sent the No. 22
car backing into the out-
side wall and knocking
Keselowski out of the
race.
Keselowski angrily
jumped out of his car and,
rather than hop into the
ambulance, jogged over
the grass toward pit road.
He gestured wildly at
Busch's crew before fi-
nally running to the infield
care center a long jog
that did little to quell his
temper
"I got wrecked by a dirty
driver There's no other
way of putting it," Ke-
selowski said. "I've raced
him really cool over the
last year to be respectful to
him and trying to repair
our relationship. I've
watched him wreck my
truck and cost me from
winning races. He put me
in the fence in Chicago in
the truck race. Nationwide
races, he's been pulling
this crap.
"It's not going to last,"
Keselowski said, "I can tell
you that."
Busch said that he was-


n't trying to wreck
Keselowski, and that he
simply got tight coming out
of the final corner That
forced the front of his car
to drift toward the wall.
"It was hard racing.
There were a lot of mo-
ments where I maybe felt a
little crowded," Busch
said. "The contact that ul-
timately ended it, I just got
real tight."
The wreck tightened up
the ownership race. Ke-
selowski's Penske Racing
team, which carried a 28-
point lead over Busch's
No. 54 car for Joe Gibbs
Racing into the weekend,
now leads by just five


points heading to next
weekend's race at Char-
lotte.
The incident could also
throw some drama into the
Chase.
Busch is third in the
standings and just 12
points back of Kenseth,
while Keselowski the
defending series cham-
pion- failed to qualify for
NASCAR's version of the
playoffs.
"He has a lot more to
lose than I do," said Ke-
selowski, apparently indi-
cating that he would
retaliate today "I guess
that's the good thing about
not being in the Chase."

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE









COMMENTARY
CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE



Do your part to reduce the size of government


A big old dilemma we
have in this country
is that we expect
government to have all the
answers.
We then go off and elect
human beings to public of-
fice and we're surprised
that they do really dumb
things.
Last week in California,
Gov. Jerry Brown signed a
law making it illegal to post
nude and/or risque photos


of former romantic partners
on the Internet.
Apparently, one dating
practice that has changed
since the creation of Inter-
net (thanks Al Gore) and the
digital camera is that there
a lot more naked photos
being taken.
The California case in-
volved a woman who moved
to Miami and left her
boyfriend back on the West
Coast. The couple appar-


ently spent much of their
free time sending naked
photos of each other back
and forth on the Internet.
Despite the photographs,
the relationship failed to
develop (go figure) and the
couple broke up. The
boyfriend was apparently
on the dumpee end of the
breakup, and to get even he
decided to post his collec-
tion of naked photos on the
Internet. The girlfriend was


mortified that her naked
pictures were now all over
the Internet (thanks Al
Gore) and she alleged she
lost her job because her
coworkers kept looking at
the iPhones during meet-
ings and smiling.
So California did what
California does in such sit-
uations and passed a law
that made posting nude
photos of ex-girlfriends on
the Internet a crime.


No doubt the experience
was a difficult one, but
aren't there solutions out
there that don't involve the
full force of our govern-
ment?
I have a starting point -
we need smarter citizens.
We could have a smaller,
less expensive government
if we the citizens -
stopped doing really dumb

THE CUBAN EMBARGO,


AND WHY WE SHOULD LIFT IT


PETER GRAULICH
Special to the Chronicle


F IRST, SOME BACKGROUND.
Fidel Castro and his revolutionaries
overthrew Fulgencio Batista on Jan. 1,
1959. This ended a dictatorship of seven
years. Castro, being a fighter and not a diplomat,
set up the new Cuba as a communist state.


The United States par-
tially imposed an em- Peter Gr

punishment for the na-

businesses, recent tri
As further punish- PageA17
ment, the embargo was
tightened by reducing
the Cuban import quota of brown
sugar The Soviet Union stepped in
and agreed to purchase the sugar,
thus establishing a relationship with
the country
President John Kennedy further
extended the embargo on Feb. 8,
1962, and following the Cuban Mis-
sile Crisis in October 1962 imposed
travel restrictions. As punishment
for hosting nuclear weapons, fur-
ther restrictions were imposed on
July 8, 1963, when Cuban assets in
the United States were frozen.
There was a partial suspension of
the regulations in 1977 when Presi-
dent Carter did not renew it. Presi-
dent Reagan reinstated the embargo
in 1982.
In 1992, the Cuban Democracy Act
was sponsored by former Democratic
Rep. Robert Torricelli of New Jersey
Next came the Helms-Burton Act
in 1996, broadening the embargo to
prevent foreign companies from

Finally,

on future




of hospital


after four years of tur-
moil, the two boards
that govern Citrus Me-
morial hospital in Inverness
have agreed to move forward
with a sale or lease of the
public hospital.
The new operator of CMH
will be Hospital Corporation
of America (HCA), the
Nashville-based health care
company that of-
fered $140 million THEP I

tution. The fu
While there is Citrus N

rus Memorial's OUR 01
50-year history of MV

health care to the urget
community, there complete
is a collective
community relief that a con-
sensus has been forged on how
to finally resolve the problem.
HCA operates Oak Hill
Hospital in Brooksville and
has a good reputation for pro-
viding quality health care.
The national company also
has deep pockets and critical
efficiencies that will help Citrus
Memorial regain its footing.
The members of the two
boards finally sat down Mon-
day evening and hashed out
the pros and cons of the of-
fers that still sat on the table.
In the end, HCA got the nod
from both of the battling boards.
The governing board and
foundation board members
acted respectfully during
their joint meeting and had
an intelligent conversation
about the options. Citizens
appreciate the effort.
About $10 million in legal
fees have been wasted over the
past four years in this politi-
cal dispute, and the taxpay-
ers of Citrus County are tired.
There are still important
details to be decided, but the
most critical step was choos-
ing the top bidder
With that done, we would
urge the boards to move for-
ward with a sense of urgency
to finalize the deal. Employ-
ees, physicians and consumers
are all highly irritated by the
by the constant tension and
uncertainty that has gripped
our hospital for years.
Bring this deal to a
conclusion.

There is still debate about
whether the hospital should
be sold or leased to HCA.
The company is open to either
option, but many in the com-
munity are convinced a sale
makes the most sense. After all,
the mess we are just climbing
out of was because of a lease
arrangement that went bad.
To the general public, the

cy to What is impor-

pens to the $95
million that will be left over
when the sale is consummated.
That's a lot of money and no
one wants to see it wasted.
At the same time, no one
wants to lose control over
how that money is spent.
While there are complicated
and confusing state laws
dealing with how the proceeds
are spent, we like the general
idea of creating a community
foundation that annually
spends the proceeds from the
investment of the $95 million.
The principal should not be
touched. Instead, the pro-
ceeds should be used for pro-
grams and endeavors that
improve the general health of
our community.
Let's remember, it took our
tax dollars to create the in-
vestment of Citrus Memorial
hospital over the past 50
years, and the proceeds from
that sale should go back and
benefit the community.
Governing board members
Krista Joseph and Bob Priselac
both floated good ideas for
creating a foundation board
with broad community mem-
bership that could be charged
with the responsibility of al-
locating those funds to wor-
thy public causes.
Let's not permit any addi-
tional political squabbles or
legal ambiguities to get in the
way of moving this process
forward immediately We don't
want to waste any additional
dollars on legal fees, consult-
ants or politicians.


Courts against men
This is in regards to Mr. Peters and his
daughters. I feel very sorry for the man.
He's desperate. I do not agree with his actions,
but I can understand his desperation. The
courts are so against the male figures. Some-
thing has to be done to help men in situa-
tions with child custody. There is judges ...
that give the woman everything just be-
cause they're women. And the men pay and
the men are the ones that suffer. They lose
their children and they have to pay and they
can barely afford to live themselves and the
women know this. Someone needs to look
into it and I'm a woman.

LETTERS to the Editor


The measure of a life
Today as I was helping to
clean out my grandmother's
house I wondered, "What is
the measure of one's life?"
During the "who gets this, who
wants that" it seemed that no-
body wanted most of it. Is it
going to be the same when my
kin goes through my treasures?
I hope not, but looking around
at all of the items I have accu-
mulated, I am sure that is how
it will go. What will they think
when they go through my
nightstand and closet and see
items that my wife and chil-
dren gave me when I was a
young buck, such as drawings
that were colored in crayon
and were once housed on the
fridge? Father's Day, birthday
and Valentine's Day cards, I
couldn't bear to part with in
my life? I'm sure they will
meet their doom once my life
is measured. A lifetime of pho-
tos will quickly be sifted for a
familiar face and discarded
without a thought. I'm sure my
kin will have their houses in
order and the burden of adding
my treasures may not fit their
lives, but remember the meas-
ure of my life once I'm gone.
My treasures were not my
possessions, but my memories.

Just missed horse
I came very close to hitting a
horse in the middle of County
Road 491 (across from the post
office driveway) one night after
choir It was close, very close.
It was twilight, but I noticed a
black-and-white horse just off
the roadway, which made me
glance over at it and then, wow,
there's a light brown horse
standing sideways right in front
of me. The horse and its rider
were just standing or, shall I
say dancing sideways in my
lane. Our RAV4 apparently has
very good "swerve" capabili-
ties and I still have excellent
reaction time. Luckily there
was very little traffic and no
vehicles coming towards me.
And from what I can gather,
the car that was a ways behind
me, had to swerve and missed
the horse also. It could have
been a bad one for all of us.

It's almost time to kill the monster


"We shall defend our is-
land, whatever the cost
may be, we shall fight on
the beaches, we shall fight
on the landinggrounds, we
shall fight in the fields and
the streets, we shall fight
in the hills; we shall never
surrender" Sir Winston
Churchill, circa 1940.
t times I have given
thought to the folks
with whom I have
shared Earth space. I've
been here with some very
good people and with
some very bad ones.
According to my simplis-
tic mathematical calcula-
tions, there have been a lot
of them. I am reasonably
certain that in 1945, when I
was born, someone some-
where on the planet was at


least 100 years old. I am
now 68, and that covers a
timespan of 168 years. I've
breathed the same air as
those who were born both
before me and after me for
at least a period of time.
This is only a shot in the
dark, but I would estimate
the total Earth-space-
sharing crowd for me is at
least 9 billion folks and the
number will continue to
grow each time a baby is
born until I die.

"Today, I will refrain from
talking about the bad ones,
and comment about only
one of the good ones a

ston Churchill, 1874-1965.

Tourism department. If the
tourism was up 13 percent from
last year in a bad year, why in the
heck do they need an executive di-
rector to head the tourism depart-
ment, especially when their
$600,000 budget will not support
an executive director? Totally con-
fused on how this county is actu-
ally running some of this stuff.
Pay enough already
I'm reading about the "County to
set landfill fees for Inverness"
(Sept. 25, Page A2). Don't we al-
ready, in our taxes, pay a good
amount of money every year for
picking up stuff in the city? I don't
see why we should. Now if you
want to add $1 a year more, that
wouldn't be such a bad thing, but
it's charging so much more. Some-
body needs to get on this and see
why we have to pay more and how
much more, if this is so. And,
Adams, you better check it out
good.
Social media skills abound
Tourism. Yesterday at the BOCC
meeting, Cathy Pearson said one
of the candidates had great social
media skills. Well, little does she
know that the three people working
in tourism today actually four -
also have great social media skills.
So why do you need a fifth person
for more social media skills? Baf-
fles me.


I'd like to make a statement
about this 31 percent Citrus
County tax hike that our great
county commissioners approved
their than cutting
AOUND services such as
closing the swim-
1 ming pool in Whis-
N pering Pines or
IT closing other
nonessential serv-
ices that the minor-
CAL,^n ,n ity of the county
563-0579 residents utilize. So
now the majority of
the county residents have to pay
that 31 percent on their property
taxes. This is ludicrous.
Thank you school staff,
thank you EMTs
I would like to give a big thank
you to the Inverness Middle
School. This is their crossing
guard, Miss Jo. I had a terrible ex-
perience on (Sept. 24), Tuesday. I
had passed out and I want to give
the school board a thank you and
the EMTs. They took excellent care
of me, which I don't remember too
much. It was a bad experience on
my part and I want to say thank
you, especially to Mr. Darby for
being there. And like I said, it was
a terrible experience. I've been
doing this for 10 years, but I think
the heat got to me. Thank you and
God bless. Miss Jo.


Snuck up from behind
I don't know how you feel about
old age, but in my case I didn't even
see it coming. It hit me from the rear.
Difficult process
Your editorial on the fire tax ex-
emption, I think is a little mislead-
ing. I do not believe that the
reasons you give for having only a
few people apply are accurate. The
reasons are, they've made it so dif-
ficult to get and obtain the applica-
tion. There's no place in Crystal
River you can obtain one. You have
to either drive to Lecanto or to In-
verness or you have to mail them a
self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Once you do receive the applica-
tion, you have to provide the proof
of your income, which means
sending in paperwork that you
might need for something else.
Then the application has to be no-
tarized, sent back in and you'd
have to do this every year prior to
May 1. So this application would
only be good for a few months and
you'd have to go through the process
to do it all over again. They couldn't
have made this more difficult for
senior citizens on a fixed income. I
hope it can be corrected.
Way to go, Art
I'd like to give kudos to Art Rein-
hard at the Aquatic Department.
He returns calls, answers ques-
tions and just does a fine job.
Thanks, Art.

things. So in the spirit of
doing my part to help re-
solve the current stale-
mate in Washington and
reducing the scope of our
government in general, I
offer these simple rules
that you can follow and do
your part as a good citizen.
Do not drink coffee,
apply lipstick and send a
text message while you are
driving your car on State
Road 44. This will cut
down on the complaints
against Sheriff Jeff Dawsy
that he sends too many
fire and rescue vehicles to
accidents.
Do not take your 16-
foot skiff out into the Gulf
of Mexico in stormy
weather This will reduce
expenses for the U.S.
Coast Guard, the county
EMS service and will re-
duce the waiting time at
the hospital emergency
room.


CUBA
Continued from Page Cl

Reasons for repeal
Communism is not the evil it
once was. As an example, China
is a communist country We
spent $315 billion there last year
with no embargo to prevent it.
The Cuban Missile Crisis
should have been called the
Russian Missile Crisis in Cuba.
The Soviet Union had supported
the revolution by purchasing the
sugar the United States blocked.
This would have indebted Cas-
tro to the USSR. He really could-
n't say no to the missiles without
destroying his country It was a
matter of survival.
Human rights violations and
torture? Don't we do that right
here? We do it in Guantanamo,
Cuba, and we did it in all cases
of rendition, but it is OK for us,
just not right for them.

A solution
There are five Cubans impris-
oned in the United States.
All five Gerardo Hernan-
dez, Ramon Labafiino, Antonio
Guerrero, Ren6 Gonzalez and


Fernando Gonzalez -were con-
victed of acting as unregistered
foreign agents and conspiracy to
commit crimes against the
United States. Three were also
convicted of conspiracy to com-
mit espionage, on the strength of
evidence that they had gathered
information on military activity
at a naval air station in Key West.
In addition, Hernandez was con-
victed of conspiracy to murder
in connection with the deaths of
four Cuban exiles whose two light
aircraft were shot down by the
Cuban Air Force over the Straits
of Florida in 1996. In Cuba, these
men are known as "The Five."
Cuba holds two persons of in-
terest to the United States: Alan
Gross and JoAnne Chesimard.
While working for a USAID
contractor in 2009, Gross was ar-
rested for bringing satellite
phones and computer equip-
ment into Cuba to distribute to
the Jewish community He was
convicted in March 2011 and is
serving a 15-year sentence.

ture and return to New Jersey

being actively pursued by the
FBI in the early '70s for her al-
leged connection to a great num-
ber of violent crimes. On May 2,
1973, Chesimard and two other
BLA members were involved in
a shootout with New Jersey
State Police troopers after they
were pulled over for having a
broken tail light. Trooper
Werner Foerster was mortally
wounded in the shootout, shortly
after which Chesimard was ap-
prehended. She was tried and


convicted of murder and es-
caped from prison in 1979 and
resurfaced in Cuba in 1984.
It is time to stop this madness.
Ninety percent of the population
of Cuba is under age 65 three
generations people who had
nothing to do with the events
that led to the embargo.
I suggest that the United
States and Cuba get together and
agree to swap persons. Some ne-
gotiations between the countries
could clear up the rest of the


minor differences and the world
would be a better place.
The island is a beautiful place.
The people are friendly, the ar-
chitecture is superb, the food is
outstanding, the prices are low It
is the perfect vacation destination.
So are you tired of having a
small group of cranky old men
preventing 350 million Americans
from visiting this wonderful place?
If you agree, please help
spread the world. The Cubans
do not have enough money to
purchase support in Congress.
Perhaps Congress could do the
right thing for a change and re-
peal the embargo. I know 11 mil-
lion people who will be forever
thankful.

Do not leave your un-

cut down on crime statistics
in our community and save
all sorts of paperwork with
your insurance company
Do not elect public of-

unfamiliar with the slight-

are annoying and they cost
us taxpayers lots of money
when we have to send
them to jail for stealing tax

Sound OFF


Shut out of landfill?
I heard today that we cannot
use the landfill anymore if
we're residents of the city, and
we rely on that to take our yard
waste every Saturday. Is this
true? The Chronicle needs to
check into this. I'm talking
about the City of Inverness.
Editor's note: The county is
considering a fee structure for In-
verness because city residents
do not pay the $25 annual fee
and the city decided to haul its
trash to a Sumter County landfill.
The new rates are not established,
so for now it's business as usual.
Scott's connection?
This is in regard to the sale of
the hospital in Inverness. Two
companies one HMA and
HCA are either one of those
two companies connected to
the Rick Scott company that
he used to run? Does anybody
know the initials of the one
that Gov. Scott used to run?
Editor's note: Gov. Rick Scott
was formerly CEO of Colum-
bia/HCA. He resigned in 1997.
Worse than drinking
Well, it's the eve of the big
annual raft race in Citrus County
over in the Homosassa River. I
wonder how many folks will have
a few drinks and then drive back
over towards Inverness, Lecanto
or Floral City. Maybe they'll go to
that after-concert show at Rock
Crusher Canyon, have a couple
drinks and cops will be out
looking for them drunk drivers.
Yet the Chronicle had a column
by Cokie Roberts and Steven
Roberts that (stated) drinking
adds 4 feet of reaction time
where reading emails adds 36
feet and sending a text 70 feet.
What's that, 4 times 10? That's
almost 18 times more feet
from texting than drunk driv-
ing, as far as reaction time.


Lemon-fresh appliances
If I have to take my clothes,
if my washer and dryer breaks
down, to a commercial place, I
take my Lysol along and I
spray down the washer and I
spray down the dryer. And that
way if there's any germs, it
kills them all.
Peace be
with thy neighbor
This is in regards to the
"Peace be with you" in the
Sound Off column Saturday
(Sept. 21). You want peace, lady?
Let me tell you something:
Love thy neighbor. How many
times (do) you go to church
and shake hands with people
but you don't know the guy that
lives next door or the lady that
lives across the street? They
like peace also and they could
use a little help. If I were you,
keep your hands to yourself.


Seeking info
I see a commercial on TV that
ends with "Smoke-free Florida."
Does anyone know a phone
number that I can call? Please
tell me, if you do, in the paper.
Editor's note: If you're looking
for Tobacco-Free Florida, the
number is 850-245-4144.
Thanks from me
and my wheelchair
Special thanks. I want to
thank the people and vehicles
who stopped on (State Road)
44 East, Inverness, Sunday
(Sept. 15), when my wheel-
chair rolled down the hill into
two traffic lanes. I greatly ap-
preciate your being alert. The
wheelchair thanks you also.
Difficult doors at library
Why is it the restroom doors
in the library are all so difficult
to open for handicapped people?


Legalize it, regulate it
This is a call about mari-
juana. I think that the federal
government should legalize it
and regulate it and then tax it.
People can get marijuana any-
where they want to right now
and it's just all getting out of
hand. So if they legalize it and
then regulate it and tax it, then
the federal government and
we'll all be better off.
Way to go,
skeeter control
I hold Citrus Mosquito Con-
trol in high regards. I live in
Old Homosassa and they have
never failed to come when I call.
No more tears
For everybody in the state of
Florida: If you want to get your
love bugs off your car, use
baby shampoo. That is the top
notch. I tried it and it works.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE



Edit this
I was reading this, the Chron-
icle comment that you're invited
to call Sound Off; it will be ed-
ited for the length, libel, personal
and political attacks and good
taste. I would assume that takes
care of everything the editor
does not like. If he doesn't like
the name of someone, if he
doesn't like the opinion of
someone, I would assume-
and this is an assumption -
but you have printed it in the
paper, which makes it a fact
that the editor, if the editor
does not like what is being said,
he will cut it and not print it.
What a rip-off Sound Off is. I
can tell people now to not write
in, do not call in, because if
the editor does not like it, it
will not be printed.
Doesn't play nicely
I enjoyed reading the opinion
on page C2, Sunday (Sept. 22).
It brings to mind the phrase el-
ementary school teachers used
to use on report cards stating,
"Does not play well or work
well with others."
It's rough out there
This is in response to this
fireman or policeman who called
to say to tell the people to shut
up and quit complaining about
the $54 (fire tax) and complained
how he goes and fights fires
and he's in danger, he goes out
on birthdays, Christmases and
all holidays. Well, gee whiz. You
know, I don't like being inflicted
upon something that I can't
only not afford, but don't want.
All the towns voted against it.
And many other of us people
have to work on their birthdays
and we work in danger too. Many
of us work in banks, many of
us work in convenience stores
and many of us can just get
shot in a drive-by shooting.

Oil rises upwards of
$104 on Gulf storm
NEW YORK The price of
crude rose to near $104 a barrel
Friday as offshore oil rigs in the
Gulf of Mexico braced for Tropical
Storm Karen. Investors were also
keeping a watch on developments
in Washington, D.C., as the partial
shutdown of the U.S. government
entered a fourth day
Benchmark oil for November de-
livery rose 53 cents to close at
$103.84 on the New York Mercantile
Exchange. For the week oil rose 97
cents, snapping a three-week losing
streak that knocked $7.66, or 7 per-
cent, off the price of a barrel.
Drivers are already seeing relief
at the pump. The nationwide aver-
age price for a gallon of gas is now
$3.37, down 22 cents from a month
ago and 41 cents cheaper than at
this time last year
Brent, the benchmark for
crudes, gained 46 cents to $109.46
on the ICE Futures exchange in
London.

Impasse keeps world
markets in check
LONDON Uncertainty about
how long the partial shutdown of the
U.S. government will last kept in-
vestors on edge Friday, though the
prevailing view in markets is that
Congress will be able to reach a deal
to keep the world's largest economy
from defaulting on its debts.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of
leading British shares rose 0.1 per-
cent to close at 6,453.88 while Ger-
many's DAX rose 0.3 percent to

The cost of dealing with
breast cancer for Citrus
County residents takes on
two dimensions.

Patients face direct costs
dealing with the medical side.
These begin with cancer
screening and diagnoses and
continue through treatment.
They can affect the patient,
insurance companies, public
and private health care
providers and related
nonprofit organizations.

The other cost dimension
includes all nonmedical costs
precipitated by the cancer.
This a wide range of expenses
affecting patients, their
families and social service
agencies.


Pat Faherty
Staff writer


2010 article in The
Breast, a medical
journal focusing on
the advancement of
breast cancer pre-
vention and therapy,
addressed the cost of breast
cancer It suggested there are
numerous indirect costs, which
are much more difficult to
quantify than the direct med-
ical costs.
These indirect costs can in-
clude travel and transportation
for treatment, home health
care assistance, time away


from work for the patient and
family members, career adjust-
ments, child care, special diets,
wigs, clothing, home modifica-
tions, hospice care and funeral
costs.
It can also include out-of-
pocket treatment costs and

not covered by insurance.

US housing rebound likely


to handle spike in rates


Associated Press

LOS ANGELES -When mortgage
rates began climbing in May from rock-
bottom lows, Kevin Williams worried
he might miss out on an opportunity
So he listed his home in Orange
County, Calif, and planned to buy a
bigger house in San Diego after it sold.
The process took all summer Last
week, he and his wife locked in a mort-
gage.
The extra time added at least $1,000
more a year than if they had secured a
loan in May Still, Williams believes
they made a prudent decision.
"I don't know what rates are going to
be in four years," he said. "I felt I had
to act now before I was priced out."


Williams' justification buy now or
risk paying more later is why many
brokers and analysts remain confident
that the housing recovery can handle
higher mortgage rates. While the jump
in rates should test the strength of the
recovery, analysts foresee stable sales
increases over the next year for a num-
ber of reasons.
Fall is typically a sleepy time for
sales and nationally signed contracts
are starting to decline. Yet several bro-
kers say buyer traffic remains strong
in key markets like Los Angeles, the
Washington metro area, Silicon Valley
and Boston.
Home prices have been rising at the
fastest pace since 2006, helping Ameri-

trust ended

prematurely
EAR BRUCE: Before her
death, my mother-in-law set
up a trust for all three of her
grandchildren. She passed away in
1993. This trust was to ensure that
her grandchildren would attend
college.
When my son turned 18 years
old, he contacted the attorney who
handled the trust. The attorney in-
formed him that the executer of
the will, my mother-in-law's daugh-
ter, had the trust dissolved and
gave the monies to my son's father
(who is not in his life at all). He is
not a very nice person. According
to the attorney, the executer of the
will did this just to be away from
my son's father
Does this sound right to you?
Why would you have a trust if
someone can just come in and
change things to suit themselves?
Is there anything my son can do to
get this back? Where should we
start?
S.M., via email
DEAR S.M.: Whether or not it
was legally proper to dissolve the
trust is something to question. I as-
sume that it was. Since the money
was then given to the father to do
as he chose, the likelihood is that
the money is long gone.
I think it's a matter of the trust
not being set up appropriately It
gave your former sister-in-law
broad powers and she exercised
them using poor judgment, but

Registered agents: It's the law


very business, large or
small, should have a
registered agent If
your business is a corpora-
tion, it's the law: Your corpo-
ration must have one
registered agents, which are
also called resident agents or
statutory agents. The name
choice varies by state. The
agent can be a person or an-
other entity, such as a corpo-
ration that will perform the
service.
All states require the identity
and location of the registered
agent to be present on various
documents that are public
record. For most states, regis-
tered agents are listed in the
Articles of Incorporation. This
law applies also to nonprofit
corporations. Their tax-exempt
status does not relieve them of
this requirement. Best advice:
If you don't have an agent, find
one and publish the name in
the correct record.

Purpose of an agent
The purpose of a registered
agent is to provide a street ad-
dress, not a post office box.
This location is where impor-
tant notices can be sent and re-
ceived. If a business is
perceived to have harmed a
person, place or another cor-
poration, the state in which the
business resides must be able
to locate a responsible person
or business organization that
may have caused harm.
A registered agent provides a
physical location where a per-
son or other organization is
available during normal busi-
ness hours to receive legal
service of process for lawsuits
and other legal notices such as
court summonses.
Agents are also the recipi-
ents of official state govern-
ment documents such as tax
notices, annual report forms,
etc.


Dr
Frederick
Herzog,
PhD

EXPERIENCE
MA-rERS


An agent bears the responsi-
bility to notify the business
owner of receipt of any and all
notices. In today's complicated
business environment, it's
often difficult for an owner to
keep track of all the adminis-
trative/legal notices. This is
what agents are for

Unincorporated businesses
If a business is not incorpo-
rated, such as a sole propri-
etorship or unincorporated
partnership, there is no legal
requirement to have a regis-
tered agent.
However, in the absence of a
registered agent, a process
server will deliver a summons
or lawsuit directly to the
owner's/partners' homes.
The existence of a registered
agent eliminates this unfortu-
nate event. In many jurisdic-
tions, a process server is often
a sheriff's deputy in uniform.
An unwelcome visitor deliver-
ing a lawsuit during a family
gathering or neighborhood bar-
becue is definitely unwelcome
and awkward. It's even more
disturbing when employees are
present People who are wit-
ness to such visits may form
negative perceptions.

Penalties when no agent
exists
Not having a registered
agent can lead to the revoca-
tion of a business entity's cor-
porate status. Once corporate


standing is gone, so are the
legal protections granted to
shareholders, officers and di-
rectors of the corporation. In
many cases, large financial
penalties follow

Advantages of the third-party
agent
Third parties designated as
registered agents for a busi-
ness offer many advantages.
Here are some of the more im-
portant ones:
n Registered agents provide
a public record of legal address
of a business
n Naming a registered agent
allows the business to change
addresses in its state without
the costs of required docu-
ments.
n Business owners can travel
without worry they might miss
filing a required document on
time.
n Agents usually act as com-
pliance managers and keep the
business in good standing with
the state in which they are lo-
cated.
n When a process server de-
livers a lawsuit, it is presented
to the agent at the address of
the registered agent. Cus-
tomers and/or employees will
not witness this event. The best
location of a registered agent is
at a different address from the
business.

CANCER
Continued from Page Dl

expenditures for breast cancer are pro-
jected to reach at least $20.5 billion
(2010 dollars) by the year 2020. Breast
cancer has the highest future cost pro-
jection of the 17 cancer categories
rated.
For 2010, medical costs associated
with breast cancer were projected at
$16.5 billion, about 13 percent of total
cancer medical costs.
"The rising costs of cancer care illus-
trate how important it is for us to ad-
vance the science of cancer prevention
and treatment to ensure that we're
using the most effective approaches,"
said Robert Croyle, National Cancer In-
stitute NCI), when the figures were re-
leased. "This is especially important for
elderly cancer patients with other com-
plex health problems."
The cost of cancer care is ranked by
phases with continuing care being the
most expensive, followed by the initial
stage of treatment. Numerous annual
care cost estimates have been done


using NCI data Medicare figures and
health insurance claims.
Health care costs in women with
metastatic breast cancer receiving
chemotherapy as their principal treat-
ment averaged $128,556, according to a
report in BMC Cancer 2011 based on
health insurance data.
Using NCI data, the estimated annual
cost would be $19 million in Citrus
County for 2006 to 2010.
Outpatient services accounted for 29
percent of total breast cancer patient
costs, followed by medication other than
chemotherapy, (26 percent), chemother-
apy (25 percent), and inpatient care,
(20 percent).

Indirect costs

In addition to the medical costs such
screening, prescriptions and
hospital/doctor visits, breast cancer pa-
tients and their families face an array of
related, often unexpected costs.
There are indirect costs with all can-
cers, but more so with breast cancer, ac-
cording to Russell Silverman with the
Florida Breast Cancer Foundation. He
said insurance may not pay for a double


prosthesis, and the cost of clothing and
maintaining an appearance can become
an ongoing issue.
He also cited transportation costs, es-
pecially in a rural area like Citrus
County, if patents have to travel regu-
larly to Tampa or Gainesville.
Under financial guidance for patients
in treatment, the American Cancer So-
ciety includes expenses for babysitting,
cooking, cleaning and professional fees
such lawyers and financial planners.
The society recommends developing
an overall financial plan to cover med-
ical costs and other expenses.
According to the above mentioned ar-
ticle in The Breast, these indirect costs
are more difficult to quantify As a re-
sult the true cost of breast cancer as a
topic is often avoided.
The NIH concurs that out-of-pocket
costs are rarely considered but can
present a significant burden.
Nonmedical direct out-of-pocket
costs ranged from $137 to $174 per
month in the year post-diagnosis; and
$200-$509 per month one year or more
after diagnosis, according to a review in
2011.
Researchers found that to meet these


costs; and families often make sacri-
fices in the form of abandoning, chang-
ing, or cutting back projects or other
activities of family members, using sav-
ings and retirement funds, with possible
tax penalties or selling off assets.
Other indirect costs are related to the
side effects of treatment and inability to
resume previous parenting duties,
workload or other activities. Silverman
said that is especially true after radia-
tion or chemotherapy
Tara Anderson, manager of patient
access for Citrus Memorial Health Sys-
tem, said they provide screening and
application assistance for Medicaid eli-
gibility, the disability process and
hospital-based charity care.
They can also provide information to
patients regarding options for assis-
tance from various groups/organizations
and/or programs throughout the county
She said they are trying to refer pa-
tients to the appropriate resources that
may be available to assist them with
their needs.

said Patrick Newport, a hous-
ing economist at HIS Global
