R6sum6 doesn't add up Choice for Citrus tourism director admits incorrect dates in job history OCTOBER 27, 2013 Florida's Best Community Newspaper Serving Florida's Best Community $1 VOL. 119 ISSUE 81 MIKE WRIGHT Staff writer The choice for Citrus County's first executive di- rector of tourism exaggerated credentials on his r6sum6 to appear he spent a longer time at two similar jobs than he ac- tually had, according to re- ports and interviews. Robert "Bob" Marx, who is set to be confirmed by county commissioners Nov 5 to the $75,000-a-year position, said on his r6sum6 and job appli- cation that he was president and chief executive officer of the Peoria, Ill., Area Conven- tion and Visitors' Bureau from January 2010 to January 2013. In actuality, he resigned in January 2012. Marx also listed on his r6- sum6 an identical position in Bakersfield, Calif, from De- cember 2006 to September 2008. He actually only spent six months on that job, though he stayed in Bakersfield until 2008 as a marketing consult- ant, according to interviews and published reports. Marx, in an interview Fri- day, acknowledged the dis- crepancies, but said they were simple errors because he continued work in both communities as a tourism consultant after resigning from the convention bureaus. "In actuality, I was working with them still," he said, re- ferring to the Peoria job. "I was an ally and supported what they were doing. Per- haps I didn't sit in the chair, per se. They realized my im- portance and felt I was a player" Citrus County officials, who offered Marx the job earlier this month, were unaware of the r6sum6 errors until a reporter told them Friday afternoon. Later Friday, Human Re- sources Director Sherry An- derson said she confirmed with Marx's former employ- ers that Marx ended his Peo- ria job in January 2012 and began his next job with GF Hotels that same month. Marx's r6sum6 said he was with GF from January 2013 to July 2013. "I think it was a typograph- ical error, a lapse in mem- ory," Anderson said.

Page AO10 As feds wrangle overhaul, Vt. eyes single-payer Associated Press MONTPELIER, Vt -As states open insurance marketplaces amid uncertainty about whether they're a solution for health care, Vermont is eyeing a bigger goal, one that more fully embraces a government-funded model. The state has a planned 2017 launch of the nation's first universal health care system, a sort of mod- ified Medicare-for-all that has long been a dream for many liberals. The plan is especially ambi- tious in the current atmosphere surrounding health care in the United States. Republicans in Congress balk at the federal health overhaul years after it was signed into law States are still ne- gotiating their terms for imple- menting it. And some major employers have begun to drasti- cally limit their offerings of em- ployee health insurance, raising questions about the future of the industry altogether In such a setting, Vermont's plan looks more and more like an anomaly It combines universal coverage with new cost controls in an effort to move away from a sys- tem in which the more proce- dures doctors and hospitals perform, the more they get paid, to one in which providers have a set budget to care for a set num- ber of patients. The result will be health care that's "a right and not a privilege," Gov Peter Shumlin said. Where some governors have backed off the politically charged topic of health care, Shumlin re- cently surprised many by digging more deeply into it. In an inter- view with a newspaper's editorial board, he reversed himself some- what on earlier comments that SPage A8 TODAY & next morning HIGH 79 LOW 50 A2 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2013 RESUME Continued from PageAl However, that contra- dicts Marx's recollection that he spent nearly a year in the Peoria area, provid- ing tourism consultation to smaller communities that partner with the conven- tion bureau. Anderson also said she spoke with someone with the Greater Bakersfield Area Convention and Visitors' Bureau who confirmed Marx's employment from December 2006 to Septem- ber 2008. That contradicts both published reports of Marx's resignation in May 2007 and Marx's recollection that he spent more than a year consulting in the Bak- ersfield area after leaving the convention bureau. A reporter called the number in Bakersfield that Anderson provided. The number was for Rick Davis, a former member of the Bakersfield conven- tion board who retired three years ago. He said he was relying on memory when he gave Anderson the employment dates. Davis, who also was the Kern County, Calif, tourism director, confirmed he hired Marx as a consultant after he left the Bakers- field job to continue mar- keting work in the area. "We were close friends. He's a very likeable man," Davis said. Marx sought moving expenses, accommodations Marx was a last-minute entry in the application stack for Citrus County di- rector of tourism, a job re- cently created by the Tourism Development Council and approved by the county commission. Funding for the Citrus County Visitors and Con- vention Bureau comes solely from the bed tax on overnight accommodations.

From 1998 to 2006, Marx was president and owner of Reed Roberts Marketing Communica- tions in West Palm Beach. Marx said he was serv- ing as an adjunct professor at the University of Central Florida's Rosen College of Hospitality Management when he learned of the Citrus County job. One of three finalists, Marx met with members of the TDC, Commissioner Rebecca Bays and Assis- tant County Administrator Cathy Pearson. The only other time he had visited Citrus County, Marx said, was participating in a golf tournament in Inverness as part of his West Palm Beach consulting company Impressed with his cre- dentials and background, the TDC made Marx its unanimous choice on Oct 9. Pearson made the offer to Marx for the new director's job at a starting salary of $75,000, plus an increase of up to $5,000 after six months at the TDC's discretion. The next day, Marx sent an email to Pearson in which he made several fi- During his TDC interviews in Citrus County, Marx said he never mentioned to anyone the discrepancies on his resume because no one asked about the employment dates. nancial requests, including: The pay would in- crease to $80,000 in three months instead of six. The county would pay moving expenses from Chicago, where his furni- ture is stored. Marx said moving the furniture from Chicago to Kissimmee would be about $4,900, but he could get a better esti- mate for a move to Citrus County and let Pearson know Forty-five days of free hotel accommodations to give him time to find per- manent residency "Since it is the slow sea- son I would bet that one of the hotels would offer a very favorable rate to the county, plus this would provide me an opportunity to learn the hospitality product and customer base in the area," he wrote to Pearson. In another email three days later, Marx asked about an expense account and mileage reimbursement Pearson said she flatly told him the county would not provide moving or liv- ing expenses. The only perk, offered to all hires at a department director level, is three weeks of an- nual vacation. And, because the posi- tion is a department direc- tor, Marx can be fired without cause and receive two months' severance pay Should commissioners confirm him on Nov 5, his scheduled starting date is Nov 18. Marx: 'No intention to hide anything' Politics, Marx said, forced him from both jobs in Peoria and Bakersfield. In Peoria, the city gov- ernment wanted to significantly reduce the convention bureau's funding. "I thought I couldn't be successful where there was that strong a head- wind of people trying to cut our budget for no sig- nificant reason," he said. Two years into a three- year contract, Marx re- signed. He said he spent the next eight months working as a paid consult- ant for smaller towns in Peoria County to better co- ordinate their marketing strategies with the con- vention bureau. He de- clined a reporter's request to name the towns he worked with. The Bakersfield job came to an end six months after it began. Marx said the city wanted to take control of the convention bureau and he knew his employment days were numbered when the city manager eliminated the tourism board. "I'd be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind," Marx said, explaining his reasons for resigning. Marx's friend, Rick Davis, hired Marx as a paid marketing consultant for the Kern County tourism bureau. "He was very knowl- edgeable," Davis said. "He's a team-builder with authority He's very positive." Marx left Bakersfield in December2008 for a job as general manager of a new Fairfield Inn & Suites in Gadsden, Ala. During his TDC inter- views in Citrus County, Marx said he never men- tioned to anyone the dis- crepancies on his r6sum6 because no one asked about the employment dates. "It wasn't done in any deviant, sly behavior," he said of the r6sume errors. "There was no intention to hide anything." Bays and Pearson both said they were relying on Anderson's background check of Marx. Bays, however, said resume details are important. "I like people to be hon- est with me," she said. "Somebody put something on their resum6, I'd like for that to be accurate and verified." Chronicle reporter Pat Faherty contributed to this report.

The union delegates and stalwart Democrats wanted autographs, pic- tures, hugs and even kisses from the for- mer Republican governor "We love you, Charlie!" a woman shouted, locking arms with Crist as some- one snapped a picture. "I love you all," he told those gathered at the Florida Education Association's annual convention this month. Nearly three years after losing a U.S. Senate campaign to Republican Marco Rubio and leaving the governor's man- sion, Crist is plotting a political come- back that seems fantastical even by Florida's stranger-than-fiction standards. The man who once identified himself as a Ronald Reagan Republican is preparing for another gubernatorial bid, this time as a Barack Obama Democrat. As he travels the nation's largest swing- voting state, Crist is emphasizing the bi- partisanship and consensus-building that marked his sole term as governor Most early polls show him leading the unpopu- lar incumbent, Republican Gov Rick Scott, a former hospital company execu- tive elected with tea party support in 2010.

SIDIBE Staff writer CRYSTAL RIVER- The city council on Monday will take up the issue of allowing public input during meetings. City officials would like to set a public comment policy that is in compliance with state law The city currently allows for pub- lic comment during two designated periods at each council meeting. In addition, public comment is al- lowed prior to any action being taken on a public-hearing item. The Citrus County Commission recently began disallowing public comment during public-hearing items amid public outcry This year, the Florida Legisla- ture adopted a law that mandates that members of the public be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard on a proposition before a public board or commission. The statute provides that the public's right to be heard is to be subject to rules or policies adopted by the board or commission, with such rules or policies to be limited to S more popular," said Ed Rendell, the for- S L mer Democratic governor of Pennsylva- 1 nia and ex-chairman of the National 1Governors Association.

Volunteers make a difference Scientist to discuss springs research Special to the Chronicle Philip Rhinesmith, a sen- ior environmental scientist for the Southwest Florida Water Management District will be the featured speaker for the Coffee and Conversa- tion at the Old Courthouse Heritage Museum at 7 p.m. Nov 7. He will describe the archaeological finds discov- ered by divers during the restoration of the Chassa- howitzka Springs, a popular recreation site in southwest- ern Citrus County which has had human occupation for more than 9,000 years. Chassahowitzka is a Semi- nole word meaning "place of the pumpkins." As engineers and workers from the water district and Underwater En- gineering Services Inc. (UESI) cleaned the springs, clearing organic sediment that was 12 feet thick in some places, they realized they were uncovering signif- icant evidence of human oc- cupation and use of the springs. Rhinesmith will tell the story of researching the area of Chassahowitzka Springs through the Florida Master Site File at the Florida De- partment of State, Division of Historical Resources, which is the state's official inventory of historical cul- tural resources. "We knew the area was in- habited during several peri- ods of human occupation," he said. "To protect and con- serve these cultural re- sources, the district worked with Southeast Archaeologi- cal Research Inc. to develop a plan to conserve and re- cover the cultural resources exposed during the sedi- ment removal process." "That discoveries of these artifacts and the opening of this window to the past will allow a whole new story to be told on the history of the Chassahowitzka Springs and the community of the same name, going back over time some 9,000 years," said Kathy Turner Thompson, Citrus County historical re- sources manager stated. The program is free and open to the public. For seat reservations, call 352-341- 6427 or 352-341-6436, or email katherine.turner @bocc.citrus.fl.us.

ENTERTAINMENT Quincy Jones sues Jackson estate LOS ANGELES Quincy Jones sued Michael Jackson's estate claiming he is owed mil- lions in royalties and production fees on some of the superstar's greatest hits. Jones' lawsuit Friday seeks at least $10 million from the singer's estate and Sony Music Entertainment, claiming the enti- ties improperly re-edited songs to deprive him of royalties and production fees. The music has been used in the film "This Is It" and a pair of Cirque du Soleil shows based on the King of Pop's songs, the lawsuit states. Jones also claims that he should have received a pro- ducer's credit on the music in "This Is It." His lawsuit seeks an accounting of the estate's profits from the works so that Jones can determine how much he is owed. The producer worked with Jackson on three of his most popular solo albums, "Off the Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad." Jackson's estate wrote in a statement that it was saddened by Jones' lawsuit. "To the best of its knowledge, Mr. Jones has been appropriately compen- sated over approximately 35 years for his work with Michael," the statement said. An after-hours message left at Sony Music's New York offices was not immediately returned. Jackson's hits "Billie Jean," "Thriller" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" are among the songs Jones claims were re- edited to deprive him of royalties and his producer's fee. Jones' lawsuit states the pro- ducer's contracts called for him to have the first opportunity to re-edit or alter the songs, in part to protect his reputation. Associated Press Quincy Jones sued Michael Jackson's estate on Friday claiming that he was owed millions in royalties and fees on music that's been used in post-death Jackson projects. Malaysia bans Ke$ha concert KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -Authorities in Muslim-majority Malaysia have banned a planned concert by U.S. pop singer Ke$ha after deciding it would hurt cultural and religious sensitivities. Concert organizer Livescape said it received a letter about the decision on the eve of the show that was to be held Saturday at a Kuala Lumpur stadium. The Ministry of Communica- tions and Multimedia said sepa- rately that it was rejecting the application for Ke$ha to perform for reasons of religion and culture. The ministry's statement did not elaborate. Ke$ha, whose hits include "Tik Tok" and "Die Young," has songs that make explicit references to sex and liquor. Last month, Malaysian offi- cials also barred a performance by American metal band Lamb of God, accusing the Grammy- nominated group's work of being blasphemous. Ke$ha and her team had pre- viously agreed to modify their planned show in Malaysia, in- cluding making changes to her song lyrics and wardrobe, to comply with the government's general guidelines for performers, Livescape said in its statement.

One year ago: Sixty million peo- ple in the eastern United States braced for high winds, torrential rains, power outages and even snow from Hurricane Sandy, which was headed toward a merger with two wintry weather systems. Today's Birthdays: Actress Nanette Fabray is 93. Actor-come- dian John Cleese is 74. Author Fran Lebowitz is 63. Singer Simon Le Bon is 55.

A Department of Envi- ronmental Protection spokesman told the Tampa Bay Times the agency is looking for other ways to deal with the invasive species. Trapper Scott Cheslak has captured about 700 of the rhesus macaques mon- keys with state permission over the past decade. The monkeys are a popu- lar sight for tourists at the Silver River State Park. They have been in the area since the 1930s, though no one is certain exactly how they arrived. Some say they got loose during the filming of a Tarzan movie. A more plau- sible theory is that they were placed on a small is- land in the Silver River as an attempt to spice up the Silver Springs' Jungle Cruise ride for tourists. The operator of the cruise, how- ever, didn't realize the mon- keys could swim. The rhesus macaques have thrived in the central Florida woods. Their colony grew to about 100, but with suburban develop- ment conflicts developed. In the 1980s, there were re- ports that the monkeys had attacked a 3-year-old boy and threatened a game war- den, but those faded over time. Cheslak originally worked for a company that supplied monkeys to re- search laboratories, but the company's CEO later de- cided to discontinue the practice, believing it was wrong to cage monkeys that had been in the wild for so long. Cheslak, however, con- tinued the work as an inde- pendent contractor According to the U.S. De- partment of Agriculture, he was "selling some of the mon- keys to a research facility." Many of the monkeys Cheslak caught were juve- niles or yearlings. His li- cense expired last year, and he hasn't trapped any since. He did not respond to a re- quest for comment State officials worry the monkeys could pose a health threat to humans be- cause most of the ones Cheslak has captured tested positive for herpes- B, which can be fatal. How- ever, there have not been any cases of people infected by the Silver Springs rhesus macaques. The only cases have taken place in labora- tories. The manager of the Sil- ver River State Park told the Times last year state of- ficials have been torn about the species, considered both a tourist attraction and a health hazard. "We know people like to see the monkeys, but we know they don't belong here," manager Sally Leib said. The Animal Rights Foun- dation of Florida had peti- tioned the state to stop the trapping. "We are very happy that (the park) will once again be known for its natural beauty and outdoor activi- ties, not as a supplier of an- imals for cruel laboratory experimentation," the group's spokesman, Don Anthony, said a news re- lease Friday Dr. Shirley A. ice is going on sabbatical Beginning October 1st, 2013.

I 5B CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Not much has changed, say residents of NY casino town Associated Press SALAMANCA, N.Y - Tucked in the foothills of western New York'sAllegany Mountains, Salamanca doesn't appear to have changed much in the last 100 years let alone the last 10 since the Seneca In- dian Nation opened a major casino on the edge of town. With New York about to vote Nov 5 on a casino pro- posal that's being promoted as a driver of economic growth in small upstate communities like theirs and the state as a whole, residents here say that while the casino has deliv- ered jobs, the bustle and din of 2,000 slot machines and an average of 8,000 daily visitors, its effect is barely evident outside the gleam- ing gambling palace walls. "When the casino came, I thought, 'Great, the town's going to perk up,"' Barbara John said as she worked in a consignment shop near the casino, which towers from the landscape off Interstate 86.

He said he ex- pects a payroll tax to be a main source of funding, giving for the first time a look at how he expects the plan to be paid for The reasons tiny Ver- mont may be ripe for one of the costliest and most closely watched social ex- periments of its time? It's the most liberal state in the country, according to Election Day exit polls. Democrats hold the gover- nor's office and big ma- jorities in both houses of the Legislature. It has a tradition of ac- tivism. Several times in re- cent years, hundreds of people have rallied in Montpelier for a campaign advocating that health care is a human right. It's small. With a popula- tion of about 626,000 and just 15 hospitals, all non- profits, Vermont is seen by policy experts as a man- ageable place to launch a universal health care project "Within a state like Ver- mont, it should be much more possible to actually get all of the stakeholders at the table," said Shana Lavarreda, director of health insurance studies at the University of Cali- fornia at Los Angeles' Cen- ter for Health Policy Research. Vermont's small size also is often credited with helping preserve its com- munitarian spirit. People in its towns know one an- other and are willing to help in times of need. "The key is demography" said University of Vermont political scientist Garrison Nelson. Discussions about health policy "can be han- dled on a relative face-to- face basis," he said. Vermont also has little income diversity, Nelson said. In general, people with lower incomes who don't pay into a health care system make it costlier for other people. Then there's the fact that Vermont is close to universal health care al- ready Lavarreda noted that the state became a leader in insuring chil- dren in the 1990s. Now 96 percent of Vermont chil- dren have coverage, and 91 percent of the overall population does, second only to Massachusetts. At this stage, no one knows whether state-level universal health care will succeed, and it's an open question as to whether Vermont can work as a model for other states. "Developing a single- payer system for Vermont is a lot easier than in Cali- fornia or Texas or New York state," said U.S. Sen.

The nation is focused on the rollout of the state- based health insurance marketplaces and the dis- astrous unveiling of healthcare.gov In the meantime, Vermont's ef- forts have largely gone un- noticed, said Chapin White, a researcher with the Washington-based Center for Studying Health System Change. "Vermont's thinking about 2017, and the rest of the country is just strug- gling with 2014 right now," White said. Even with years to go be- fore Vermont's single- payer plan will be in place, several obstacles remain. See Associated Press Workers take calls for Vermont's health care exchange Oct. 1 in Burlington, Vt. While much of the nation works to implement the health insurance exchanges under the fed- eral health overhaul law, Vermont does that and also keeps its eye on a bigger goal, one that more fully embraces government-funded health care: The state has a planned 2017 launch of the nation's first universal health care system.

A five-member board created under the law has already launched four pilot projects designed to bring down health care costs. For example, one bundles the price of services that often come together, as in a single, set price for the anesthesia, surgery and follow-up physical therapy connected with a knee replacement. The overall goal of the law is to "ensure universal access to and coverage for high-quality, medically necessary health services for all Vermonters." It aims to prevent costs and other barriers from keep- ing people from accessing health care. HEALTH CARE Continued The largest national health insurance industry lobbying group, America's Health Insurance Plans, has warned that the law could limit options for con- sumers and might not be sustainable. "The plan could disrupt coverage consumers and employers like and rely on today, limit patients' ac- cess to the vital support and assistance health plans provide, and put Vermont taxpayers on the hook for the costs of an unsustain- able health care system," said AHIP spokesman Robert Zirkelbach. And questions have also arisen about the expected cost savings of eliminating multiple insurance com- panies and their different coverage levels and billing styles. Much of a hospital's billing process is coding to ensure that the right pa- tient is billed the right amount for the right pro- cedure, said Jill Olson, vice president of the Ver- mont Association of Hospi- tals and Health Systems. That would continue in a single-payer system. Vermont also has yet to answer how it will cover everyone. The post-2017 system is not envisioned to include federal employees or those with self-insured employers that assume the risk of their own coverage and are governed by fed- eral law, including IBM, one of the state's largest private empl( may not inclu who work for surance thro nies headquai state, Olson sa At least one year-old Gerr has little pati naysayers.

Participants will then have a 90-day window to change plans. After that plans can only be changed for "good cause reasons" or during the annual open enroll- ment period. "Participants in the LTC program will be identified based on current Medicaid enroll- ment data," said AHCA spokesperson Shelisha Coleman. She added that if a fam- ily member feels that they should have been notified and have not been, they can submit a complaint through our online com- plaint form at http://apps.ahca. myflorida. com/smmc cirts/. "But there's no reason to get stressed out," Curtis said. "There is not a lot for patients and their families to worry about." He said there will be counselors available, it will not affect the levels of care and most of the detail work will fall on the providers. Under AHCA guide- lines, the new plans will be required to continue exist- ing services for 60 days or until the patient receives a comprehensive assess- ment and a new plan of care is developed.

Justice Department intends to use information from spy program against accused terrorist Associated Press WASHINGTON The Jus- tice Department said for the first time that it intends to use information gained from one of the National Security Agency's warrantless surveillance pro- grams against an accused ter- rorist, setting the stage for a likely Supreme Court test of the Obama administration's approach to national security. The high court so far has turned aside challenges to the law on government surveil- lance on the grounds that peo- ple who bring such lawsuits have no evidence they are being targeted. Jamshid Muhtorov was ac- cused in 2012 of providing ma- terial support to the Islamic Jihad Union, an Uzbek terror- ist organization that, authori- ties say, was engaging NATO coalition and U.S. forces in Afghanistan. According to court papers in the case, the FBI investigated Muhtorov after his communi- cations with an overseas web- site administrator for the IJU. In a court filing Friday, the government said it intends to offer into evidence in Muh- torov's case "information ob- tained or derived from acquisition of foreign intelli- gence information conducted pursuant to the Foreign Intelli- gence Surveillance Act of 1978." Last February, a sharply di- vided Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote that a group of American lawyers, journalists and organizations could not sue to challenge the 2008 ex- pansion of the law. The court those who sued could not show that the government would monitor their commu- nications along with those of potential foreign terrorist and intelligence targets. Last month, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who had ruled with the majority in the earlier 54 decision, said the courts ultimately would have to determine the legality of the NSA surveillance program. In the majority opinion last February Justice Samuel Alito suggested a way for a chal- lenge to be heard. He said if the government intends to use information from such surveil- lance in court, it must provide advance notice. In his argu- ment before the court's deci- sion, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli had made similar com- ments to the justices on behalf of the administration. Saudi women drive in protest with little problem Associated Press RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - More than 60 women across Saudi Arabia claimed they drove cars Saturday in defiance of a ban keeping them from getting behind the wheel, facing little protest by po- lice in their push for eas- ing restrictions on women in the kingdom. The campaign's message is that driving should be a woman's choice. The struggle is rooted in the kingdom's hard-line inter- pretation of Islam known as Wahabbism, with critics warning that women driv- ing could unravel the very fabric of Saudi society. Though no laws ban women from driving in Saudi Arabia, authorities do not issue them licenses.

Andrew Cuomo said- New York is creating the nation's first state gasoline reserve to prevent shortages during emergencies. Cuomo said Saturday that a pilot program on Long Island will hold 3 million gallons of fuel for motorists and first responders. The project is a response to the gas shortages that created hourslong lines in the days after superstore Sandy. Cuomo says New Yorkers need to be able to get around after bad weather. The reserve will use capacity owned by Northville Industries on Long Island. Cuomo says gasoline from the reserve will be re- leased as needed to meet fuel needs while the industry recovers from an operations dis- ruption, like Sandy. claiming they had driven.

As the debt-ridden city moves through bankruptcy proceedings, local and state lead- ers are backing plans to build a new hockey arena and streetcar line. The developments would cost $800 million and bet at least $300 million in future tax rev- enues to attract people to a city that residents have been fleeing for 60 years. Skeptics said the plans are risky for a city with so much debt that it can't fund services as simple as streetlights. Supporters predict the downtown improvements will expand the tax base and lay the path to a brighter finan- cial future. -From wire reports back. Activists uploaded a four-minute video of her driving to the campaign's YouTube account. Al Sawyan said she was prepared to be jailed if caught by authorities. She said she was far enough from a police car that she was not spotted. "I just took a small loop," she said. "I didn't drive for a long way, but it was fine." Al Sawyan's husband and family waited at home and called her nervously when she arrived at the store to check on her, she said. She drove with a local female television re- porter in the car They were both without male relatives in the vehicle, which in itself defies the country's strict norms re- quiring women to have a male relative in public. LONDON The former driver for dis- graced late BBC entertainer Jimmy Savile has appeared in court to face charges includ- ing multiple counts of raping girls younger than 16. Savile's reputation as a popular if eccentric personality collapsed after his death in 2011 at age 84, when hundreds of witnesses and victims came forward accusing him of sexual abuse. Police have since described him as a serial sexual predator. British police charged the driver, 72-year- old Ray Teret, with 32 offenses that allegedly took place between 1962 and 1996, including multiple counts of rape and indecent assault. The 15 accusers were all under the age of 16 at the time.

"She asks that you know that she cares for the world's hurt over this and greatly hopes for your prayers for the Ritzer family, the Danvers com- munity, for her son, and all those affected by this tragedy" Authorities have of- fered no clues on Chism's alleged motive. They also would not say how Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher, was killed. BEIRUT Syrian Kurdish gunmen on Saturday seized a major border crossing with Iraq from al-Qaida-linked groups following in- tense infighting between rebel groups that raised concerns of a spillover, activists and an Iraqi official said. The latest violence coincided with a visit by the U.N.-Arab League envoy to Iran, a staunch ally of President BasharAssad's government, to press efforts for international peace talks aimed at ending the civil war, now in its third year. The Kurdish militiamen captured the Yaaroubiyeh post in northeast Syria after three days of clashes with several jihadist groups there, including Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. -From wire reports Student's mom grieves son, teacher in killing World BRIEFS Jimmy Savile's chauffeur Syrian Kurds capture border charged with rape crossing with Iraq "E Travel & Leisure EXCURSIONS It's 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday in October well past lunch, and the slowest time of year in Sarasota, where the beautiful Gulf Coast beaches are most crowded in winter and spring.

Both are just a block or two from Yoder's. The TLC network has even filmed some of its "Breaking Amish" episodes in Pinecraft The reality show looks at young people who were raised Amish and Mennonite as they experience life outside those communities and decide whether to go back to them. Yoder's, which opened in 1975, has a gift shop and pro- duce market onsite as well. The restaurant seats 130 people but on a busy day in peak season routinely serves 1,500. Customers are a mix of locals and tourists, and only a few are Amish. It's not unusual to hear all kinds of languages spoken on the line to get in; some vacationers will drive an hour from Tampa-St Petersburg or even two hours from Orlando to eat here. And after putting away all that fried chicken, noo- dles and pie or, if you must, a salad there's no better way to enjoy the rest of your day in Sarasota than at Siesta Key beach, just a short drive - or three-wheeled bike ride away DREAM VACATIONS The Chronicle and The Accent Travel Group are sponsoring a photo con- test for readers of the newspaper.

This was no slight, ac- cidental touch. It was de- liberate. My son's stepmother called child protective services re- garding the incident, be- cause the family of the other child runs an in- home day care. As I have sole custody, the child services case- worker con- tacted me ANN about the in- MAIL cident I MAlL spoke with my ex and his wife, and we were all in agree- ment that our son would not be in contact with the other child again. It is now four months later, and my son tells me that his father al- lowed him to play at the home of this same boy who grabbed his geni- tals. I called my ex, and he doesn't seem to think the initial incident was serious. He feels his wife "blew it out of proportion," and they've had fights about it. I have spoken with child protective services about Dad continuing to allow our son to interact with the neighbor boy I 'I who obviously has boundary issues. While my son has not reported a second incident, I am left feeling that I cannot trust his father to parent effectively Dad seems more inter- ested in proving his wife wrong than he is in pro- tecting our son at this vulnerable age. I cannot in good con- science allow visitation under the cur- rent circum- stances. I refuse to per- mit my son to be in a poten- tially question- able environment, and I can't trust Dad to make IE'S the right call. How can I ef- BOX fectively pro- tect my son when he's on Dad's watch? I don't want to re- fuse visitation alto- gether. Mom in Nebraska Dear Mom: First, please don't demonize this neighbor boy You were right that the situa- tion needed to be re- ported, not only because the family runs a day care program, but also because children who molest others are often being abused themselves. We hope CPS checked it out. Still, if you cannot trust your ex to honor the joint decisions you make, your best recourse is to request supervised visitation.

Vets sought for classroom program The Veterans Appreciation Week Ad Hoc Coordinating Committee will con- duct its annual Veterans in the Class- room program Nov. i to 12 as part of its 21st annual Veterans Appreciation Week activities. Coordinated by the Citrus County Chapter of the Military Officers Associ- ation of America (MOAA), the Veterans in the Classroom program brings living history to the classrooms of the county's public and private schools, as well as homeschool groups. Veterans share with students their firsthand mil- itary experiences and travels while serving our country in uniform around the world. The model Veterans in the Class- room program was recognized in 2008 with a Florida Education Foundation award. The program's success has gen- erated the need for additional veterans to share their experiences with stu- dents. Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, Iraq, Air Force, National Guard and women veterans are especially needed as par- ticipants. All interested veterans may contact Mac McLeod at 352-746-1384, cmcleod670@earthlink.net, or Bob Crawford at 352-270-9025, baddogusmc @tampabayrrcom.

You are about to embark upon a great crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you." -Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's message to Allied Forces prior to the D-Day Invasion. The 70th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion is more than six months away; however, that certainly didn't stop more than three dozen men and women who are likely to participate in re-enactment cere- monies, getting a "jump" start on preparations for ceremonies planned for next June. And perhaps there was no better way to fully understand the historical significance of the allied invasion- the largest joint military operation to this day than to step inside an air- craft used in the original invasion of Europe. From her participation in D-Day, when the Tico Belle was one of 52 C-47s that carried troops and Waco gliders containing elements of the 82nd airborne infantry, she's held a special place in the minds of many She also dropped much-needed sup- plies to troops during the Battle of the Bulge, participated in Operation Var- sity, an Allied assault to cross the Rhine River, and the post-World War II Berlin Airlift. That history certainly wasn't lost on those who came to prepare for re-enactments, just jump or those who are part of an active military group in their home countries. All told, of the more than 60 jumpers who partici- pated in the two-day event Friday and Saturday at the Dunnellon-Marion County Airport, 11 countries were rep- resented. "It's unbelievable," said James Dalueg, a member of the Canadian Royal Air Force. "It's an honor to fol- low in the footsteps of the men who stepped onto that plane so many years ago." Sharon Kitzmiller, who served in the U.S. Army for five years and began skydiving in February, said there's no way to put into words what it's like to jump from a plane used in such an historical event. ory JEFF BRYAN/Riverland News A parachutist heads toward the landing zone at the Dunnellon-Marion County Airport using a World War Il-era round parachute. The Tico Belle received its nose art after the Valiant Air Command acquired it. "It's unreal," she said, fighting back tears. "It's hard to quantify what it's like to step in there and jump out, using the same parachutes they used. Of course, we're doing it under differ- ent circumstances, much different than they were. They were doing it under fire, unsure if they were going to live or die. That is why they are our greatest generation." The National Parachute Test Center (NPTC) hosted the event again this year; however, unlike in years past, opened the event to the public, giving citizens the chance to see the Tico Bell up close. "The Tico Bell is a great draw, not only for the jumpers, but the crowd," said Major Robert A. Mathews, U.S. Marines, retired, and president of NPTC, about opening the event to the public. "She's got a lot of great history that everyone appreciates, they under- stand it." While spectators are given the op- portunity to watch almost five dozen men and women make the jump from 1,500 feet it's the behind-the-scenes training they don't see leading up to the two days. "It's a great opportunity to provide training to those who need it," Major Mathews said. 'And it's also a great op- portunity for the strap jumpers (those who only make a few jumps a year) to keep current." * Submit information for the Veterans page at least two weeks before the event. * Early submission of timely material is appreciated. * Submit material at Chronicle offices in Inverness or Crystal River; by fax at 352-563-3280; or email to community@chronicleonline.com. * Notes tend to run one week prior to the date of an event.

Mike and Peggy DeFrancisco have owned and operated Tay- lor Rental Center on State Rd 44 in Inverness since 2003.

They have a combined family of six children and 10 grandchildren. Mike started out by pumping gas at a full serv- ice station when he was 11 years old (gas was 28 cents a gallon), and that got him interested in cars at a young age. They currently own a restored 1964 Ford Econoline pickup, a 1975 Ford Pinto Wagon with 27,000 original miles (all original never restored), a 1991 Dodge Shadow convertible, which has only 55,000 miles and they have owned since it was new, a 2012 Dodge Challenger RT and his daily driver, a 1988 Dodge pickup.

CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE " Golf, rec sports/B2 0 High school swimming/B2 " Scoreboard/B3 " TV, lottery/B3 " College football/B4 " NFL/B5, B6 " Baseball/B6 Fans lead cries for Schiano's ouster Anger levels rise after Bucs' 0-7 start to season Associated Press TAMPA Disgruntled fans showed up at Raymond James Stadium, some carrying plac- ards or wearing brown paper bags over their heads calling for the firing of Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano. It didn't happen Friday, a day after a lopsided nationally tele- vised loss to the NFC South rival Carolina Panthers dropped the winless Bucca- neers to 0-7 for the sixth time in franchise history The Bucs have never gone on to win more than three games after losing the first seven to begin a season. Schiano said after Thursday night's 31-13 loss that he's fo- cused solely on trying to turn his struggling team around - not his job. On Friday, he fended ques- tions about whether he still has the respect and support of his players. The Bucs have lost 12 of 13 games dating to last season and are 7-16 overall since Schi- ano left Rutgers in January 2012 to take over a team that dropped the final 10 games of 2011. "Have I lost the locker room? No. Are they listening? Yes. Are we getting everything we need out of them? Well, obviously not because we're 0-7," Schiano said. "Ultimately we have good guys in that locker room ... 61 guys that I believe in, and I re- ally strongly feel they believe in me. Does belief get tested when you have an 0-7 record? Ab- solutely ... But there's a lot of football left. We've got nine games remaining. We'll take each one, one at a time." Fans chanted "Schiano must go'!' in the closing minutes of the latest loss. There has been little indication of where the Glazer family, which owns the team but rarely grants inter- views, stands on the embattled coach's future.

Associated Press Florida State running back Devonta Freeman heads for a 4-yard touchdown as North Carolina State safety Hakim Jones and linebacker Brandon Pittman give chase in the second quarter Saturday in Tallahassee. No. 3 Seminoles use huge first quarter to dominate NC State 49-17 Associated Press TALLAHASSEE Jameis Winston threw three touchdown passes and No. 3 Florida State scored 35 points in the first quarter on the way to a 49-17 vic- tory against North Carolina State on Saturday in Bobby Bowden's return to Doak Campbell Stadium. Bowden, the NCAA career leader in major college football victories, planted the spear at midfield before the game - a job usually done by Florida State's Seminole mascot. The school honored the 83-year-old Bowden with a pregame ceremony that included nearly 400 for- mer players. Then the current Seminoles went out and put on display that Bowden's best teams would have been proud of, set- ting up a huge game with unbeaten Miami next week in Tallahassee. Winston completed 16-of-26 passes for 292 yards with one interception and left the game after the opening series of the second half. Rashad Greene topped 100 yards re- ceiving for the third consecutive game with eight receptions for 137 yards and a touchdown for the Seminoles (7-0, 5-0). The Wolfpack upset the Seminoles in Raleigh, N.C., last season, but this year it was no contest as Florida State put on a show for its old coach. N.C. State (3-4, 0-4) had quarterback Brandon Mitchell back for the first time since breaking his foot in the season opener He completed 17-of-33 passes for 128 yards with two interceptions. Mitchell threw an interception to Ter- rence Brooks on the second snap of the game and the Seminoles scored four plays later This was the beginning of a long day for the Wolfpack, who previously won the last four meetings when the Seminoles were ranked. The 35 first-quarter points tied a Florida State record for the most points in a single quarter Karlos Williams took a pitch to the right side, shook a defender and raced to the end zone for an 18-yard touch- down to make it 7-0. The Wolfpack promptly went three- and-out on the next possession and Winston threw a 39-yard touchdown to Kelvin Benjamin on the first play N.C. State went three-and-out for the second consecutive possession and Florida State took its time on the next scoring drive. The possession needed seven plays for Devonta Freeman to score an 11-yard touchdown through gaping holes. Florida State then led 21-0. The Seminoles were overwhelming in the first 15 minutes, but the Wolfpack didn't do themselves any favors. Johnathan Alston fumbled on the sec- ond snap after the Freeman touchdown and Telvin Smith recovered. McGee's exploits set school record Lecanto sophomore quarterback throws for 416yards Friday JON-MICHAEL SORACCHI Staff writer Despite having the equivalent of one full season's worth of starts under his belt, Lecanto High School's Travis McGee has already etched his name into the Panthers' record book. Friday night, McGee set a school record by throwing for 416 yardsI during Lecanto's 62-52 loss at Williston. The sophomore quarter- 5 j1 back added six total touchdowns (four passing, two rushing) in a superlative indi- Travis vidual effort. IMcGee "In the first quarter, broke Lecanto I had two touchdowns school record and I knew it was for passing going to be a yards in a shootout," McGee said. game. "My receivers did a great job of getting open all night." McGee did not throw an intercep- tion and averaged a whopping 27.7 yards per completion. The Panther connected on 15 of 36 passes for a 41.6 percent completion rate. "I'm definitely honored for Lecanto," McGee said. "It was always a goal of mine to not only break the single-game mark but also passing yards in a season." During a record-set- A . ting performance, there was only one thing McGee would have liked more: a win. erema "Besides all individ- Jeremiah i i .i 2.

"Above all things, it three TDs. would be nice to get a win first" For the season, the 6-foot, 170-pound McGee is 66 of 122 passing for 979 yards, six touchdowns and four inter- ceptions in eight games. Surprisingly, McGee's output wasn't even the best passing performance by a Citrus County quarterback against Williston.

Lecanto boys win district title Girls finish second LARRY BUGG Correspondent The Lecanto High School boys swim team won the District 2A-6 title Saturday in the Long Center in Clearwater. Team scores were not available at press time. The Lecanto High girls team fin- ished as runner-up. "We were runners-up last year to Land O'Lakes," said coach Matt Bouthillier. "This year, they were runners-up and we won. "It was an absolute team effort. Our guys pulled together We racked up a lot of points from second place, third on down. Our swimmers con- sistently scored in the points. We accumulated a lot of points. Our guys are very unselfish. They worked very hard to make this team something special."

Then, they go by times. Gavn Russ was the district diving champion with 433 points. That was a school record by 30 points. It was set by Garrett LeMon in 2007. LeMon later dove for Florida Atlantic. "Our divers did fabulous the other night," Bouthillier said. Lauren Macaisa, a freshman, won the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:05.15. She was a quarter second from setting a school record. She took fourth place in the 200 freestyle (2:07.95). "Our ladies did amazing," Bouthillier said. "We had Lindsey Cohee, an outstanding freshman, who took second in the 200 IM (2:19.17) and second in 100 fly She set school record in 100 fly with 59.9." Senior Steven Swartz was second in the 100 freestyle (53.83). He also qualified by taking fifth place in the boys 50 free (24.17). "The deal is there are three dis- tricts in each region," Bouthillier said. "There are eight swimmers per event. Some districts eight or nine. Our district is generally pretty fast" Other finishers included: Senior Reine Zizek was sixth in the 500 free (6:53). Freshman Maureen Gillespie was fourth in the 500 free (6:46). Freshman Brie Reid was sixth in the 50 free (29.5). Senior Hayley Bottona was with a knee injury He said Schiano has not lost the locker room. "There's no complain- ing, there's no issues. You come in here, it's a good work environment," Gold- son said. "He's taken a lot of scrutiny off the field. These are tough times, and we understand that," Gold- son, an All-Pro last season in San Francisco, said. "But he has a job to do, and we do as players, so we're just doing what we can to prepare every week and try to win a football game and leave the out- side stuff to the outsiders." Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, a team captain, eighth in the 200 free (2:25). She was seventh in the 100 free (1:05).

Stroud started the day five strokes back but surged into contention after five birdies on the front nine - including four in a row - before hitting into the water on the 12th hole and card- ing two bogeys for a 4-under 68. Moore (69) opened up a three-shot lead on the back nine only to bogey four of five holes to give it right back. Both were on 12- under 204, one stroke ahead of their nearest rivals. Gary Woodland (67) and Kiradech Aphibarnrat (69) were a stroke back. The tricky conditions led to huge momentum swings throughout the day at the PGA Tour event, with plenty of balls in the water and in the rough beneath the palm trees lining the course at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club. Second- round leader Keegan Bradley had a 76 to fall into a tie for sixth at 9 under Phil Mickelson was 7 under after a 68. The tournament is an of- ficial PGA Tour event for the first time. The winner will receive a two-year PGA Tour exemption and a spot in the Masters. BMW Masters SHANGHAI Ameri- can Luke Guthrie stum- bled at the end of the third round and wound up tied for the lead with Spain's Rafa Cabrera-Bello in the BMW Masters. Guthrie has led the Euro- pean Tour event since his 65 in the opening round, and he had a three-shot lead at one point on the back nine at Lake Malaren. But his tee shot caught the bunker on the 16th, leading to a bogey And he was in such an awkward spot on the 18th green that Guthrie felt his best option was to chip off the putting surface. He missed an 8-foot putt to take another bogey for an even-par 72. Cabrera-Bello was far team's record. He's not concerned, though, that calls for his dismissal will become a distraction for team moving forward. "Football players at this level are very intelligent. They understand the busi- more efficient, keeping bo- geys off his card in a round of 67. His final birdie on the par-3 17th turned out to be good enough for a share of the lead.

LPGA Tour YANGMEI, Taiwan- Defending champion Suzann Pettersen strug- gled with three early bo- geys but recovered for a 1-over 73 to maintain a four-shot lead in the LPGA Taiwan Championship. The Norwegian dropped three shots over the first five holes but had three birdies and just one more bogey the rest of the way to finish three rounds at 6- under 210. Azahara Munoz (69), Sun Young Yoo (72) and Carlota Ciganda (72) were tied for second at Sunrise Golf and Country Club. The second-ranked Pet- tersen has three LPGA Tour victories this year, winning in Portland, Ore., and France in consecutive starts last month. She also won a Ladies European Tour event this year in China. Taiwanese star Yani Tseng, the 2011 winner, was 10 over after a 72. Win- less in 41 LPGATour since the 2012 Kia Classic, she has tumbled from first to 25th in the world ranking in seven months.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2013 B3 B4 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2013 No. No. 21 UCF rolls past UConn; USF can't hang with No. 18 Louisville Associated Press Miami squeaked by Wake For- est to remain undefeated and set up another marquee matchup in the Atlantic Coast Conference next week. The seventh-ranked Hurri- canes needed a late touchdown to beat Wake Forest 24-21 at home Saturday, and will head to Tallahassee next week to face No. 3 Florida State. The Hurricanes and Semi- noles once regularly played huge games, but since Miami joined the ACC in 2004, only once have the rivals played with both teams ranked in the Top 10. The Hurricanes came from behind for the second straight week to stay unbeaten. Last week, Miami rallied to beat North Carolina. This time it was Wake Forest giving the Hurri- canes all they could handle. Florida State is just a week re- moved from playing a top-five matchup against ACC rival Clemson. Keeping the Hurri- canes undefeated also will help the Seminoles in the BCS stand- ings as they jockey with Oregon for the second spot behind Ala- bama. No. 7 Miami 24, Wake Forest 21 MIAMI GARDENS Duke John- son ran for two fourth-quarter touch- downs, the second a 1-yard plunge with 53 seconds left, as No. 7 Miami rallied twice to beat Wake Forest. Johnson finished with 168 yards on 30 carries for the Hurricanes (7- 0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), Tanner Price's 44-yard touchdown pass to Dominique Gibson with 4:02 remaining put Wake Forest on top, but the Hurricanes went 73 yards on their next 10 plays, with Johnson scoring to keep Miami unbeaten heading into next week's showdown at No. 3 Florida State. Wake Forest (4-4, 2-3) fell to 1-53 against Top 10 teams the lone win coming exactly 67 years ago Satur- day. The Demon Deacons trailed for less than 3 minutes against the Hur- ricanes, and still dropped their fifth straight in the series. No. 18 Louisville 34, South Florida 3 TAMPA- Teddy Bridgewater threw for 344 yards and three touch- downs and Louisville rebounded from its first loss of the season. Charles Gaines returned a fourth- quarter interception 70 yards for a TD as the Cardinals' defense re- verted to the form that helped Louisville (7-1, 3-1 American Athletic Conference) climb into the top 10 before blowing a 21-point, second- half lead at home during a 38-35 loss to Central Florida. Bridgewater completed 25 of 29 passes with no interceptions, hiking his totals for the season to 23 TDs with two picks. In three career games against USF (2-5, 2-1), the junior from Miami has gone 65 of 82 for 841 yards, eight touchdowns and no interceptions. USF failed to score an offensive CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE 7 iami survives .~ 1~ba~-. ~ Associated Press Miami's Antonio Crawford celebrates after breaking up a pass for Wake Forest's Michael Campanaro (3) during the second half Saturday in Miami Gardens. The No. 7 Hurricanes scored twice in the fourth quarter to rally for a 24-21 victory over the Demon Deacons. touchdown for the third straight game, all in conference play. The Bulls used three quarterbacks and were outgained 485 yards to 133. No. 21 UCF 62, Connecticut 17 ORLANDO Blake Bortles threw for four touchdowns and ran for an- other as No. 21 UCF routed winless Connecticut. Bortles completed his first eight passes of the game and ended his day early in the third quarter, con- necting on 20 of 24 for 286 yards. The junior ran for a TD as the Knights (6-1, 3-0 American Athletic Conference) scored on their first nine possessions of the game. They remain the favorite to claim the league's BCS berth. UConn's offense was anemic throughout and helped dig its own hole early, thanks to two first-half inter- ceptions by freshman quarterback Tim Boyle. A Huskies' fumble in the sec- ond-half set up another UCF score. The Huskies (0-7, 0-3) have lost eight straight games dating to last season. No. 1 Alabama 45, Tennessee 10 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. T.J. Yel- don scored on three 1-yard runs and AJ McCarron passed for 275 yards and two touchdowns to help No. 1 Alabama continue to roll along with a 45-10 victory over Tennessee. Landon Collins returned an inter- ception 89 yards for another score for the Crimson Tide (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference), which raced to a 35-0 halftime lead. Ala- bama has outscored its last six op- ponents 246-26. The Volunteers (4-4, 1-3) dropped their seventh straight in the rivalry game, tying the most consec- utive wins for either team. Coach Butch Jones turned to freshman quarterback Josh Dobbs in the sec- ond half in his first college action, replacing Justin Worley. Worley was 8-of-15 passing for 120 yards and was intercepted twice. McCarron completed 19 of 27 passes. Kenyan Drake ran for 89 yards on 14 carries while Yeldon gained 72 yards. Kevin Norwood caught six passes for 112 yards. No. 9 Clemson 40, Maryland 27 COLLEGE PARK, Md.-Tajh Boyd threw for a touchdown and ran for a score, Sammy Watkins had a school-record 14 catches for 163 yards and No. 9 Clemson wore down injury-riddled Maryland 40-27. Boyd went 28 for 41 for 304 yards with an interception and Roderick McDowell rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns to help the Tigers (7- 1,5-1 ACC) rebound from last week's 51-14 defeat against Florida State. Clemson ran 98 plays compared to 70 for Maryland (5-3, 1-3) and fin- ished with a 551-364 advantage in total yardage. But the Tigers needed four field goals from Chandler Catanzaro to take a 19-13 lead into the fourth quarter. After that, however, Maryland's defense finally caved. tough time in his first start filling in for the injured Austyn Carta- Samuels for Vanderbilt (4-4, 1-4). He threw two interceptions one was returned for a score and was sacked five times. Duke 13, No. 16 Virginia Tech 10 BLACKSBURG, Va. -Anthony Boone ran for a touchdown, Ross Martin kicked two long field goals and Duke ended a long history of losing to ranked teams with a 13-10 victory against No. 16 Virginia Tech. The Blue Devils (6-2, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat a ranked team for the first time since they stopped No. 13 Virginia in 1994, and beat one on the road for the first time since Stanford in 1971. And they did it without a third-down con- version all game, and a 2-to-1 time of possession deficit. Virginia Tech (6-2, 3-1) had its six- game winning streak end as Logan Thomas threw four interceptions, the last on a deflected pass in the clos- ing minutes that allowed Duke to fi- nally run out the clock. The Hokies held the ball for 39:27 and outgained Duke 387-198, but still lost. game late in the first half after an ap- parent blow to the head. No. 23 N. Illinois 59, E. Michigan 20 DE KALB, Ill. -Jordan Lynch threw four touchdown passes and caught another as No. 23 Northern Illinois reached its best start as a major program with a 59-20 victory over Eastern Michigan. The Huskies (8-0, 4-0 Mid-Ameri- can Conference) never trailed on the way to a season-high in points and second-highest total offense (658 yards). The Eagles (1-7, 0-4) lost their seventh straight. Lynch, the nation's No. 7 rusher entering Saturday, also ran for a touchdown while rushing 18 times for 99 yards. He was 16-of-20 pass- ing for 223 yards while tying a ca- reer high with four TD passes in less than three quarters. Tommylee Lewis had eight catches for 107 yards and a touch- down. Da'Ron Brown caught three passes for 28 yards and two scores. Minnesota 34, No. 25 Nebraska 23 MINNEAPOLIS Philip Nelson rushed for two touchdowns and passed for another, guiding Min- nesota to its first win against the Cornhuskers since 1960. Nelson made all of his seven com- pletions count, totaling 152 yards, and carried the ball eight times for 55 yards. He spun across the goal line from the 1 with 48 seconds left to seal the victory for the Gophers (6-2, 2-2 Big Ten), who became bowl- game eligible and stopped a 16- game losing streak to the Huskers. Taylor Martinez returned from a turf-toe injury that kept him of the last three games for the Huskers (5-2, 2-1), but he had only 16 yards rushing on eight attempts and 139 yards on 16-for-30 pass- ing, plus one touchdown and one interception. COLLEGE STATION, Texas- Johnny Manziel threw for 305 yards and four touchdowns in less than three quarters, and Texas A&M bounced back from a loss last week. Manziel showed no signs that the right shoulder he injured last week was bothering him. He threw three TDs in the first quarter to help A&M (6-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) build a 28-point lead. He tacked on another score before sitting down with 6 minutes left in the third quar- ter and the Aggies leading 42-17. The Aggies rebounded from last week's upset loss to Auburn despite playing a messy game where they had five turnovers. Freshman Patton Robinette had a AMES, Iowa Desmond Roland ran for a career-high 219 yards and four touchdowns and Oklahoma State won its third straight. Quarterback Clint Chelf had 163 total yards in his second start of the season for the Cowboys (6-1, 3-1 Big 12), who ran for a season-high 342 yards. Oklahoma State scored 14 points in a 2 1/2-minute stretch late in the third quarter to extend its lead to 45- 20. Roland ran 58 yards for his third touchdown of the day, and Tyler Johnson took a fumble 54 yards for a TD with 4:17 left in the third. Sam Richardson had 95 yards passing and a touchdown for Iowa State (1-6, 0-4) before leaving the College Football SCORES EAST Alfred 32, Frostburg St. 7 American International 41, St Anselm 21 Amherst 17, Tufts 7 Assumption 55, Pace 21 Bloomsburg 35, Cheyney 7 Bridgewater (Mass.) 26, Westfield St. 20 Brockport 17, Kean 7 Brown 42, Cornell 35 Bryant 42, Duquesne 14 Bucknell48, Lehigh 10 Buffalo St. 34, Utica 19 CCSU 47, Salve Regina 13 California (Pa.) 35, Gannon 7 Clarion 41, Seton Hill 2 Colby21, Bates 3 Colgate 34, Georgetown 14 Cortland St. 20, College of NJ 7 Dartmouth 56, Columbia 0 Delaware 35, Rhode Island 13 Dickinson 38, McDaniel 31 East Stroudsburg 43, Kutztown 26 Endicott 33, Coast Guard 7 Framingham St. 41, Plymouth St. 9 Gallaudet 16, Husson 13 Hobart 35, RPI 13 Houston 49, Rutgers 14 Howard Payne 47, E.

His first mission: trying to beat the undefeated Chiefs. In Kansas City. Hardly an enviable task for the nine-year veteran and 2005 first-round pick of the Redskins who has bounced around the NFL. The Browns are his fourth team, and he is their third starter this season, after Brandon Weeden and now-injured Brian Hoyer "It's an opportunity to go out there and just get back to the game and just hav- ing fun," Campbell said. "Obviously, we want to go win games and do the best we can. "But at the same time we understand we're a growing football team and our goal and mission every week is to go out and win games. The one thing we can't forget is just to get back to having fun." The Chiefs (7-0) haven't made it fun for any oppo- nents this season. They're the only remaining perfect team because their de- fense is opportunistic, sack-crazy and, well, so darn good. Cleveland's defense is pretty staunch as well, and has sacks from 13 players, tied for the most in the league. But its nine takeaways are 10 fewer than Kansas City's, and the Chiefs have two of the NFL's leading sackmasters in lineback- ers Justin Houston (10) and Tamba Hali (nine). "You go in every week respecting every oppo- nent," linebacker Derrick Johnson said, "but at the same time, we don't really care who plays as long as we execute our defensive scheme." The last time Campbell started, he was with the Bears and they lost 32-7 to the 49ers last season. That doesn't bode well for Cleveland (3-4). Elsewhere today, it's Washington at Denver, Dallas at Detroit, the New York Jets at Cincinnati, Miami at New England, Buffalo at New Orleans, Pittsburgh at Oakland, Green Bay at Minnesota, Atlanta at Arizona, the New York Giants at Philadelphia and San Francisco against Jack- sonville at London in the second international game of the season. Monday night, it's Seat- tle at St. Louis. Off this week are Balti- more (3-4), Chicago (4-3), Houston (2-5), Indianapo- lis (5-2), San Diego (4-3) Associated Press Kansas City safety Eric Berry and the Chiefs are the lone undefeated team left in the NFL this season. Kansas City takes on Cleveland looking to improve to 8-0 overall. and Tennessee (3-4). Panthers 31, Buccaneers 13 In Tampa, Cam Newton threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead Carolina over winless Tampa Bay The Panthers (4-3) won for the fourth time in five games following an 0-2 start. They've won three straight, with Newton throwing for 667 yards, six TDs and no interceptions. The Bucs (0-7), one of two NFL teams yet to win, have dropped the first seven games in a season for the seventh time in franchise history They've lost 12 of 13 dat- ing to last season, and some fans showed up at Raymond James Stadium carrying signs and wearing paper bags over their heads urging that second- year coach Greg Schiano be fired. Washington (2-4) at Denver (6-1) Redskins coach Mike Shanahan returns to Den- ver, where he led the Bron- cos to 146 wins and two Super Bowl titles in his 14 seasons in charge. The Broncos are planning a short video tribute for Shanahan, who said he ex- pects a warm reception: "I don't think I did anything wrong to get booed. I didn't leave. They fired me." Denver comes off its first defeat in Peyton Man- ning's emotional return to Indianapolis, and he missed some practice time this week with a sore ankle. Neither defense has done much this season, so a shootout seems likely Dallas (4-3) at Detroit (4-3) Two more pretty good of- fenses, and the Cowboys showed plenty of defense in shutting down Philadel- phia last week. Whether that lasts could decide the winner at Ford Field. Lions QB Matthew Stafford is a Dallas guy and would like nothing more than a second straight win over his hometown team. Stafford said his family members have become Lions fans, but not all of his friends have done so. "They want me to have a really good game and lose it in the end," he said. New York Jets (4-3) at Cincinnati (5-2) Two teams that have used special teams for some special wins. Three of New York's victories have come off the foot of Nick Folk, who's hit all 16 field goal attempts thus far The last two Bengals wins were clinched by former Jets kicker Mike Nugent, including a 54-yarder to win at Detroit last Sunday The Jets have won four in a row and nine of the past 10 against Cincinnati. The last matchup at Paul Brown Stadium was a Jets playoff win in 2009. Miami (3-3) at New England (5-2) Miami won its first three games, but has slumped badly since, with the biggest problem an inabil- ity to protect QB Ryan Tan- nehill. He's been sacked an absurd 26 times, and the Patriots have the Jones Gang-defensive linemen Chandler and Chris Jones - who can get after the quarterback. So can Miami's Cameron Wake, and New England's inconsistency on offense has been a season-long story Still, the Patriots have won six straight against the Dolphins. Buffalo (3-4) at New Orleans (5-1) Well rested after a bye, the Saints look to put be- hind them their only loss - a painful, last-second de- feat at Foxborough and secure the NFC South they pretty much are running away with. And here's something scary: Three Saints players had their first career TDs at New England, RBs Khiry Robin- son and Travaris Cadet, and WR Kenny Stills. So New Orleans is finding more offensive threats? One of Buffalo's main of- fensive threats, running back C.J. Spiller, is hobbled. Pittsburgh (2-4) at Oakland (2-4) 'Just Win, Baby" vs. "The Steel Curtain." Oh, for those days. As their records show, neither team has a vintage Raiders or Steelers squad. Indeed, Oakland hasn't been a playoff factor since it lost in the Super Bowl after the 2002 season. But there are signs of life on both sides. The Raiders have a decent running game, play the run well defensively, and have a promising if raw quarterback in Terrelle Pryor They have lost the past 10 games coming out of the bye, however, getting outscored 271-139. The Steelers have won their past two games and their defense has come alive, forcing their first two turnovers. But their of- fense is next-to-last in red zone TDs with six in 16 trips. Green Bay (4-2) at Minnesota (1-5) The QB carousel spins in Minnesota Christian Ponder, who seemed to have one foot out the door, now will have both feet be- hind center with Josh Freeman showing concus- sion symptoms. No such worries at the position for the Packers as Aaron Rodgers makes do with a shrinking cast of wideouts, and turns them into stars. Jarrett Boykin could be next as he comes off a career-high eight- catch, 103-yard, one-TD game. Adrian Peterson is struggling because Min- nesota's line can't open holes and there is little passing attack. But he tends to dominate the Packers and had 409 yards rushing in two meetings in 2012. Seattle (6-1) at St Louis (3-4), Monday night With Sam Bradford gone for the season with a wrecked knee, journey- man Kellen Clemens gets the call at quarterback for the Rams. Sounds similar to Cleveland's situation this week. Seattle's rugged defense is primed, having not played since Oct 17, and its 19 takeaways are tied for the league lead with KC. Marshawn Lynch keys an aggressive running game and is second in the NFL in rushing with 578 yards. Atlanta (2-4) at Arizona (3-4) The Falcons snapped a three-game slide last week, but they are banged- up, especially on offense. Yet Matt Ryan was the NFC's top performer in the win over Tampa Bay, and WR Harry Douglas emerged with seven catches for a career-best 149 yards with Julio Jones and Roddy White absent. If Arizona WR Larry Fitzgerald catches four passes Sunday, he will be the youngest player with 800 career receptions at 30 years, 57 days. Fitzgerald has caught a TD pass against every NFC team except Atlanta. New York Giants (1-6) at Philadelphia (3-4) The Giants got off the schneid on Monday night against the woeful Vikings, but don't mistake that for a turnaround. They remain injury-depleted, especially in the backfield, and lost center David Baas for the season from an under- achieving line. If that line can give Eli Manning some time, he can clean up his act he was not intercepted in the victory, the first time he didn't throw a pick all season. As Nick Foles recovers from a concussion, the Ea- gles were faced with using either Michael Vick, com- ing off a hamstring injury sustained in a win over New York, or rookie Matt Barkley at quarterback. Regardless, look for run- ning back LeSean McCoy to get the ball often. San FYancisco (5-2) vs. Jacksonville (0-7) at London Another game with little intrigue for the Londoners to ponder At least there's a team with a victory on hand, unlike last month when Minnesota and Pitts- burgh played at Wembley The 49ers won in Nashville, then flew to England rather than head back to California. Staying on the road has worked well for them before, and they weren't facing anyone as weak as the Jaguars back then.

"You definitely have to be hot and play good baseball, maybe for a lit- tle bit longer," Boston pitcher Jake Peavy said before his Game 3 start Saturday night. From 1903 through 1968, the top teams had to meet in the World Se- ries. There were no playoffs. Then the AL voted in May 1968 to split into divisions the following year when the Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots joined to create a 12-club league. While the NL was adding the Montreal Expos and San Diego Padres, it initially refused to start a playoff. "It would be a contradiction of baseball history and tradition to di- vide the league and then see a team that finished fourth or fifth in per- centage playing in the World Se- ries," NL President Warren Giles said at the time. Two months later, the NL gave in when owners met again in Houston after the All-Star game at the As- trodome. The two division winners would meet in a league champi- onship series, initially best-of-five and then expanded to best-of-seven starting in 1985. In the 25 years of a four-team postseason, the World Se- ries featured the top teams in each league just nine times. Then in September 1993, a year after Bud Selig became acting com- missioner, owners voted to split each league into three divisions the following year and add another round of playoffs, a best-of-five di- vision series. The postseason would double to eight teams. The vote was 27-1, with Texas Rangers owner George W Bush the future president-the lone dissenter "I made my arguments and went down in flames," Bush said. "His- tory will prove me right." After a one-year delay caused by the 71/2-month players' strike, the ex- panded playoffs began in 1995, when teams played a 144-game schedule because of the walkout. The top teams met that October, with Atlanta defeating Cleveland in six games. It didn't happen again until 1999. And after that until this year, the Associated Press St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal reacts after saving Game 2 of the World Series against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday in Boston. The Cardinals won 4-2 to tie the series at 1-1. second after the playoffs expanded to 10 teams with the addition of a second wild card in each league. "That's another manifestation of how tough it is," Selig said this week Selig defends his system, pointing out fewer teams make the MLB playoffs than in the other major leagues (12 of 32 in the NFL, 16 of 30 in the NBA and NHL). Some refer to the postseason as tournament baseball. Playing well at the right time is more important that excellence and consistency over the long haul. The 2001 Seattle Mariners were the biggest casualty They went 116-46 during the regular season for a .716 winning percentage, the best in the major leagues since the 1954 Indians went 116-46 (.721). Seattle lost the ALCS to the Yankees in five games. "Doesn't matter if you won 85 to get in the playoffs or 185 to get in the playoffs. It's how you finish," said Aaron Sele, the loser in New York's clincher With the advent of the one-game, winner-take-all wild-card playoff, winning divisions has taken on more urgency For more than a decade, the main difference be- tween division winner and wild card was home-field advantage. But now that the postseason is a monthlong event, the hurdles to get a ring are many Just reaching the World Series is a major accom- plishment, maybe more so than it was from 1903-68. "Getting here and what's it taken to get here with a great team and a great group of guys, you see just how hard it is to win the World Se- ries," Peavy said. "You really un- derstand the preparation, the will of not just a few guys, not just a handful of guys it has to be an or- ganizational philosophy that you're going to win the World Series. It's got to be a team and a group of guys that just refuse to quit and all put their efforts together as a team to be on top." NFL's Goodell cautious about success in London Associated Press LONDON NFL Com- missioner Roger Goodell said the NFL's overseas success doesn't mean the Super Bowl is crossing the Atlantic or that the league is going back to continen- tal Europe. Goodell said the expan- sion from two to three NFL regular season games starting next season has the league exploring how to continue growing its In- ternational Series brand. More games could come to London, which will need a franchise before it can even dream of hosting the Super Bowl. And that is some time away "We don't have a timetable for (a London franchise). We want to con- tinue building interest, and if it continues to go well we believe a fran- chise could be here. The Super Bowl won't be played anywhere where we don't have a franchise," Goodell said. "Right now, our focus is on the U.K. since the Eu- ropean fans can get here. We want to build on our success here, and whether it leads to a permanent franchise or not, then we can see. What happens here will dictate that" The NFL created a Eu- ropean league in the 1990's that had teams based in the United King- dom, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain, before it folded in 2007. Goodell said demand from NFL teams to play in London was more than it could handle, and that a game could be held in Sun- day prime-time hours next year Monday and Thurs- day night games in London have been ruled out, as has holding preseason games or the Pro Bowl overseas. Goodell applauded the Jacksonville Jaguars for embracing the Interna- tional Series, with the Florida-based team signed up to play four regular sea- son "home" games at Wem- bley Stadium over four years. The first is today against the San Francisco 49ers. "Jacksonville is an inter- esting experiment. I think fans there see that it's good for their community, that it's putting Jacksonville on a global stage," Goodell said while addressing some Jaguars fans com- plaints about losing one home game over these four seasons. "Whenever there is going to be change, there is going to be resist- ance to change." Goodell met with a se- lection of NFL fans along- side 49ers great Joe Montana and former Jaguars offensive lineman Tony Boselli on Saturday The enthusiasm of over- seas NFL fans was palpa- ble inside the Grand Ballroom of the Landmark Hotel, with a scattering of NFL team jerseys in the audience. Associated Press NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell smiles as he is interviewed on stage during an NFL fan rally Saturday in Trafalgar Square, London. The San Francisco 49ers will play the Jacksonville Jaguars today at Wembley Stadium in London. B6 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2013 SPORTS COMMENTARY CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE Jessica and Ashley: Hopeful, willing and successful Hopefulness is a long way from hopeless- ness. Hopeful people see the world through a lens that sees endless possibilities and opportunities. They ra- diate positive energy and excitement. They're over- joyed, the world is their oys- ter, they are giddy! I love being around people who are hopeful! Today, I was with two very hopeful peo- ple. Jessica and Ashley are two Citrus County women who have been participat- ing in the United Way "Learn to Earn" program. I first met them in January at Withlacoochee Technical Institute as GED students. Through a special grant from the Black Diamond foundation, United Way was able to provide Jessica and Ashley with the resources they needed to earn their high school equivalency diploma. We broke down barriers for them to be able to get to school and stay in school. In May, we joyfully watched them walk across the Curtis Peterson Audito- rium stage to receive their diplomas, dressed in green caps and gowns, with smiles so big they shined like bea- cons. That night we awarded them with scholar- ships to attend a postsec- ondary program at WTI to become patient care assis- tants. Today, we celebrated with them again as they re- ceived certificates and pins that tell the world that they are qualified and ready to dutifully care for patients in our community The hope- fulness in their eyes was contagious. Their futures are bright! I had the opportunity to speak with them after the ceremony Jessica is the mother of 7-year-old twins and she was moved to tears when she spoke about the future and what it holds for her sweet family She loves to tell about their tremen- dous academic success and how proud she is of them. Jessica is considering at- tending a program at CF to further her medical career See PageC3 Associated Press The storage tank, bottom, is where workers detected water dripping from the top at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant at Okuma town in Fukushima prefecture, northeastern Japan.

PageC3 Gerry Mulligan OUT THE WINDOW Dumb as a box of rocks? suddenly, the Citrus County Commis- sion has become the laughingstock of local governments in the state of Florida. While the self-mutila- tion of the five-member board might make for humorous high drama on the courthouse square, the damage to the county's reputation is real. This will cost taxpay- ers money and it will re- sult in lost opportunities for the county For the truth is, no one wants to do business with a fool. Newly elected com- missioner Scott Adams has been the instigator of the turmoil and he ap- parently has no idea how to turn it off. His key goal appears to be to make his fellow commis- sioners, and the county staff, look bad. Some degree of turmoil is good for government. Those in elected positions should always be forced to justify their decisions and answer questions from the public. But Commissioner Adams has taken the turmoil to a new level of absurdity Adams is suf- fering from two recent thumps to the head by state investigative agen- cies that proclaimed his charges of official cor- ruption were unfounded. In one case before the state ethics commission, the county is now re- sponsible for paying the $8,476 in legal fees that Commissioner Rebecca Bays incurred fighting the charges levied by Adams. When faced with the $8,476 waste of the tax- payers' money at a meet- ing on Tuesday, Adams became unglued. He blamed everyone but himself and then ac- cused his fellow board members of "either being dumb as a box of rocks" or being "corrupt" That's not much of a choice. He got into a hateful personal exchange with outgoing County Attor- ney Richard Wesch and suggested that Lee County Wesch's new employer was going to be sorry it hired him. The key corruption al- legation evolves around the county landfill. When the independent state attorney investigated the corruption allegation, it found that none existed. Adams responded by blasting the state attor- ney's office and claiming it was part of the big conspiracy See Page C3 Amy Meek GUEST COLUMN OPage C2- SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27,2013 PINION "I never made a decision in my life that wasn't one hundred per cent selfish."

This gang of four has set meetings for every Monday through the end of November Another month of this? Really? If the boards had been lis- tening, they would have got- ten the message already: This community wants the hospi- tal sold ASAP so HCA can focus quickly on making badly-needed investments in facilities and staff, restoring stability to the CMH family, and becoming a valued com- munity member Hospital em- ployees say it in public meetings. Physicians and medical group representa- tives say it in public meet- ings. Citizens say it in public meetings. Audiences applaud when this option is recom- mended. In the Chronicle's recent online poll, 78 percent of respondents favored a sale. It's clear: No one wants the people responsible for this ongoing turmoil to have any- thing more to do with Citrus Memorial The current fuss presents no surprise: it's still about power and money.

At the most re- cent Board of County Commis- sioners meeting, current chair Joe Meek was desig- nated as the BOCC's represen- the transaction process. In our view, the county commission should be part of this process. Commissioners are, unlike members of either hospital- related board, elected by and accountable to county residents. Commissioners also agreed to have the county attorney's office look into the BOCC's options and possible role in connection with the hospital transaction. It just makes sense to get an independent opinion rather than relying for guidance on attorneys for the combatants. One of those attorneys sees himself as the spinmeister and ringmaster; the other has failed to clearly or convincingly lay out the facts for his board members or the public. What's the bottom line? The boards need to make a decision together, and soon. The deciding factor must be what's in the best in- terest of the entire commu- nity, not individuals with special interests. They owe it to the community to preserve and protect our health re- sources. Board members must promote repair and re- building from the damage their feuding has caused, and do it now, while we have a willing bidder ready to take on the job.

Congress: Worse than after 16 wasted days and billions of dollars in eco- nomic damage, the Re- publicans finally folded their tattered circus tent and voted to re-open our government last week Moderates in the party lamented that the ending was predictable, the political wreckage immeasurable and absolutely nothing was gained by the -' shutdown. National polls showed ap- proval ratings for Congress ranging xI from only 8 percent to 10 percent. From Oct. 4 to 6, Public Policy Polling surveyed 502 Carl F registered voters, OTI Democrats, Repub- licans and inde- VOI pendents. Disgust and revulsion prevailed across the board. Toenail fungus, hemorrhoids, cockroaches and dog poop all scored higher in popularity than Congress. Miley Cyrus, Honey Boo Boo and Vladimir Putin scored lower Undeterred by their dismal standing with the public, 18 senators and 144 House mem- bers all Republicans still voted against ending the shut- down and raising the debt ceil- ing to prevent a catastrophic default. The losing contingent in- cluded Sen. Marco Rubio, who has cemented his status as a prancing lapdog for the tea party crazies. He is cleverly po- sitioning himself to fill the in- tellectual void left by Michelle Bachmann, who's retiring from the House. GOP strategists would be wise to dissect the poll results that gave such a decisive edge to common toenail-fungus, also known as onychomycosis. According to Public Policy's website, 44 percent of respon- dents had a more favorable view of the unsightly infection I I [I ( than of Congress, 41 percent said Congress wasn't as awful and 15 percent were undecided. Voters older than 65 favored toenail fungus by a solid margin of 45 to 39 percent, while voters 18 to 29 were evenly split, so to speak. Interestingly, those 30 to 45 years old had a higher opinion of Congress than of onychomycosis. Pos- sibly this is because they're just reaching the age when foot hygiene seems more important. The same poll showed that 53 per- cent of those sur- iaasen veyed held E hemorrhoids in ER higher esteem than DES Congress, although there was a partisan gap. Democrats and independ- ents overwhelmingly said Con- gress was worse than hemorrhoids, while GOP voters gave Congress a slight edge. (It should be noted that re- spondents weren't asked if they'd had any personal experi- ence with either rectal disor- ders or Ted Cruz.) On a somewhat positive note, Congress fared slightly better in the poll when compared with cockroaches, although the hardy insects were still more popular by a 44-42 percent spread. By contrast, generic dog doo beat out the politicians by a whopping 47 to 40 percent. About 13 percent of those polled were undecided, which proba- bly means they're cat owners. Despite such rancid numbers, a cluster of Toe Fungus Repub- licans in the Florida delegation voted to continue the govern- ment shutdown and initiate a national default. You'll want to hang on to this list, in case any of these geniuses ever decide to run for statewide office: Jeff Miller, a real-estate agent in Chumuckla; Steve Souther- toe fungus land from Panama City; Ron DeSantis from Ponte Vedra Beach; Dennis Ross, a Lake- land lawyer; and Ted Yoho, a Gainesville large-animal veteri- narian and tea party tool who's been in Washington 10 whole months. Then there's John Mica from Winter Park; Bill Posey, an anti- Obama birther from Rockledge; Tom Rooney, from Tequesta; Richard Nugent, a former sher- iff of Hernando County; and Trey Radel, an ex-TV reporter and improve comedian from Fort Myers. At least Radel admits to being a comedian. The others have no excuse. Here, as is true around the country, many of the Toe Fun- gus Republicans hail from con- servative, skillfully gerrymandered districts, and they have little risk of losing their seats in next year's mid- term elections. The biggest casualty of the shutdown is the national GOP its hopes for recapturing the White House poleaxed once again by the party's radical right wing. Already a few tea party action groups have threat- ened retribution against Re- publican lawmakers who put the country first and voted to stop the madness. If GOP leaders are looking for a bright side to the Public Pol- icy survey here's one: Congress scored much higher with peo- ple than Anthony Weiner, the former Democratic representa- tive from New York, failed may- oral candidate and serial sexter Also, the Ebola virus is still more unpopular than members of Congress. So is Lindsey Lohan, Charlie Manson and heroin. So they've got that going for them. Carl Hiaasen is a columnist for the Miami Herald. Readers may write to him at: 1 Herald Plaza, Miami, Fla., 33132. LETTER /to the Editor Inverness fire tax yes or no? The seemingly confronta- tional presentation by Jeff Dawsy, Joe Meek and Richard Wesch at the city of Inverness City Council meeting Tuesday, Oct. 15, regarding the city's ac- cepting the proposed fire MSBU tax was a bit disconcert- ing. Their insistent demand the city accept the county's new MSBU fire protection pro- gram for the collection of non- ad valorem fire protection assessments, they stated, was on a take-it-or-leave-it basis, or as they let it be known: If you don't join, we are taking our fire trucks and apparatus and leaving town, which certainly didn't sit very well with those in attendance. Now, let's be realistic. We all pay the fire service tax al- ready, and this fire MSBU is on top of that. You can give it all of the fancy names that you want, but it is in reality a major addi- tional tax on the citizens, and both the small and large busi- nesses within the city limits. Yes, the proposed $54 tax on homeowners isn't an enormous amount of money, unless you are struggling financially, which a lot of people in the city are, but the fire tax on the office or retail building owners can be staggering, who in one form or another will have to pass this extra cost on to their renters. This will then either increase their cost of doing business, or lower whatever profits they may make, and may very well put some of those small businesses out of business, which you can easily see we already have in many of our empty shopping centers. Let's face it, small businesses are the lifeblood of this com- munity, but if you make the cost of doing business so great and onerous, the businesses who are just squeaking by will go out of business. Does that benefit anyone? We want the community to prosper, otherwise there will be no real reason to come to this beautiful downtown area, be- cause it will have become a ghost town, and all of the hard work and money expended by the city to upgrade, enhance, and re- vive the city will be for naught. A disturbing caveat that was pointed out at the meeting by the city attorney is if the city opts into this fire tax program, the county in concert with the sheriff, can increase the fire millage rate that is charged anytime they want and the city can't do a thing about it. So the city of Inverness govern- ment and city council members and all of its citizens have a major decision to make: Do we want to open up our city's checkbook, which holds all of our hard- earned tax dollars, and give the county a blank check to pay for our fire protection (which we are paying for already), or do we want to go it alone, and do it ourselves? As a longtime business owner in downtown Inverness, I for one would love to see that happen. Now is the time for the city manager, the city council mem- bers and everyone involved to take a long, hard, realistic look at what makes sense. It's going to take a lot of hard work, and smart thinking and planning, with maybe even a few fervent prayers thrown in for good measure, but it can be done. Winston C.

I V CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE 909 Mitchell St. and blueberry muffins he home Cheryl and I first shared as newlyweds was at 909 Mitchell St., Dade City, Fla. Mitchell Street wasn't really a street at all: It was a dead-end, 200-yard-long lime rock-covered lane on the outskirts of town that intersected with State Road 41. There were houses on both sides, and this tiny settlement was completely surrounded by orange groves. Nowadays, we will go back to Dade City from time to time, but when we do, we usually go into town from north to south on U.S. 301, not from west to east on State Road 41. A family health circum- stance has caused us to go there on several occa- sions during the past cou- ple of weeks, and, based on the location of the hos- pital, we have chosen the west-to-east route using State Road 41. In doing so, we couldn't help noticing the sign for Mitchell Street. It brought back memories, very pleasant memories. On one recent after- noon, we chose to drive down Mitchell Street and check it out. It is still just as it was 47 years ago, a lime rock-cov- the entire neighborhood ered dead-end lane. seems to be well-main- There are still houses on tained and that the house both sides and at No .909 is in the entire area very good is still sur- ,shape.

Then I remembered. Back during our first year together, each Thurs- day evening, I attended banking-related classes. When I would finally ar- rive home at 10 o'clock or so, I'd open the door and the aroma of freshly baked blueberry muffins would waft its way to my nose while my eyes would find Cheryl. Our grocery budget was limited, but she was consistently able to find the dime it cost for a box of muffin mix and she would have this spe- cial treat, along with a glass of milk either fresh or reconstituted powdered milk waiting for me when I came in. 909 Mitchell St. and blueberry muffins.

They met with Tokyo Elec- tric Power Co. officials this week to discuss how to prepare for a typhoon that could dump heavy rain on Fukushima. And Nuclear Regulation Authority Chairman Shinichi Tanaka has scheduled a Monday meeting with Tokyo Electric's president to seek so- lutions to what he says appear to be fundamental problems. Human error is mostly to blame, as workers deal with a seemingly unend- ing stream of crises. Tanaka said ear- lier this month the repeated "silly mistakes" are a sign of declining morale and sense of responsibility The operator, known as TEPCO, ac- knowledged a systemic problem in a recent report: Workers under tight deadlines tend to cut corners, making mistakes more likely; at times, they don't fully understand their assign- ment or procedures. The utility has been losing experi- enced workers as they reach their ra- diation exposure limits, and hundreds of others are quitting jobs seen as un- derpaid given the difficulty and health risks. Regulators have urged the plant to have enough supervisors to oversee the workers on site; TEPCO says it has added staff and is ensuring proper field-management Some of this year's mishaps: Oct. 20 to 21: Heavy rains wash contaminated storm water over pro- tective barriers around storage tanks at six locations before workers finish setting up additional pumps and hoses to remove the water Oct. 9: Six workers remove the wrong pipe, dousing themselves with highly radioactive water TEPCO says exposure for the workers, who were wearing facemasks with filters, haz- mat suits and raingear, is negligible. An estimated 7 tons of water almost overflows the barrier around it. Oct. 7: A worker mistakenly presses a stop button during a power switchboard check, stalling a pump and cooling-water supply to the Unit 1 reactor for a split second. A monitor- ing device for Units 1 and 2 and a building ventilator also fail briefly until backup power kicks in. Oct. 2: Workers overfill a storage tank for radioactive water, spilling about 110 gallons. The workers were trying to maximize capacity amid the plant's water storage crunch. Most of the spill is believed to have reached the sea via a nearby ditch. Oct 1: About five tons of contami- nated rainwater overflows when workers pump it into the wrong tank, most of it seeping into the ground. Sept. 27: A piece of rubber lining mistakenly left inside a water treat- ment unit clogs it up, causing it to fail hours after it resumed a test-run fol- lowing repairs. The fragment is removed, and the unit returned to testing. Sept. 19: A firefighting water pipe is damaged during debris removal, and 80 gallons of non-radioactive water spurt out The same day TEPCO provides Prime Minister Shinzo Abe with a hazmat suit for a plant visit with the wrong Japanese character for his family name on the nametag. Spot- ting the mistake halfway through the tour, an apparently displeased Abe peels the sticker off. Sept. 12: A water treatment ma- chine overflows, leaking about 18 gal- lons of contaminated water, when a worker doing unrelated work nearby inadvertently shuts a valve. Aug. 19: A patrolling worker finds a massive pool of contaminated water spilling out of a protective barrier around a storage tank. TEPCO later concludes an estimated 300 tons es- caped unnoticed over several weeks. April 4: A worker pushes the wrong button on a touch panel, tem- porarily stopping one of three water treatment units during a pre-opera- tion test. Humans aren't always to blame. A rat sneaked into an outdoor power switchboard on March 18, causing a short circuit and blackout lasting 30 hours in some areas. Four nuclear fuel storage pools lost cooling, but power was restored before a melt- down. A few weeks later, workers caused another short-circuit while in- stalling anti-rat nets, leaving one of the fuel storage pools without cooling for several hours. Letters to THE EDITOR Ways to help clean the water On Thursday, Oct. 24, the KBAM (King's Bay Adaptive Management) group had a great end-of-the-year proj- ect moving the final crop of hyacinths and water lettuce from the stormwater pen on Cutler Spur by the post office to the KBAM Corral in the lagoon between Parker Island and the USFWS Refuge on King's Bay Drive. The weather was great, and so were the volunteers who had a great time, albeit was tough work. All said they would be back next time. The KBAM project is helping to slowly prove these floating aquatic plants will shade the cloudy waters un- derneath them, clouded with algae, and at the same time ingest the nutrients in the waters that the algae feeds on, in- cluding Lyngbya, enabling the water column to clear One Rake at a Time is doing a fab job removing the algae, but it can't be stopped from coming back until the nutrient level is lowered, and these floating plants should do that. The nutrients come from excess lawn and plant and farming fertilizers and improperly maintained septic tanks. Did you know that hyacinths and water lettuce are used in some sewer plant ponds to remove the nutrients from the waste waters before the water is released? There is documentation from China and other countries that these aquatic plants, when released to ponds and lakes that are green with algae bloom pollution can clear the water in weeks. The plants have to be removed or they would die, releasing everything they took up back into the waters to turn green again. We have Mother Nature's removal system here. Either the plants float down the river to the Gulf where they eventu- ally die, or they get eaten by the manatees. To the rumor folks, a manatee's diges- tive system is extremely long and by the time they evacuate what's left there are very few nutrients, so no redepositing. There are nutrients in the bottom substrate of our waters too, referred to by some as muck. But if this substrate is roughly disturbed releasing a lot of nu- trients, we could see here what hap- pened in the Indian River Lagoon, an algae bloom turning the waters green, HOPE Continued from Page Cl Ashley is a young woman with endless opportunities in front of her She eventually wants to return to school to become an EMT The two have obviously become close friends. They are proud of each other and proud of themselves. The hopeful qualities of today's events are immeasur- able. But the quantitative ef- fects are both measurable and impressive.

That action will cost the tax- payers of the county Why is it that so much of Adams' time is spent com- plaining about the county landfill? Can the commis- sioner not see the obvious conflict of interest that exists? Again, in truth, Adams is probably correct that the county landfill in Lecanto can be run more efficiently But his credibility gets nailed by independent voters who ques- tion his long-term intent. Is he trying to improve the county landfill's operations, or close it down so the trash can be moved to his private business?

And walk gently and play lightly on the bottoms of the Bay so you don't release the nutrients from the sub- strate until we have something floating around there to eat 'em up. To me, science is simple: Use the tools Mother Nature has furnished and we will have clear waters so the native plants have the sunshine to grow Keep your boats slow so you don't prop-dredge the plants emerging from the bottom. The seeds and plants are down there. They just need the sunshine and a little ten- der concern and care to grow again. Use native plants in your yard that take little water, and conserve water every chance you get. Our spring flows in King's Bay are down some 30 precent It's like a firefighter trying to put out a fire with 30 percent less water At full flow the springs of King's Bay can flush a lot of the nutrients out of here. And send a thanks to the KBAM vol- unteers, The One Rake at a Time volun- teers and all the folks who care enough to conserve water so we will always have water to drink, and our beautiful, full-flowing springs. Helen Spivey Crystal River ranges between $10 to $14 per hour, meaning they could po- tentially earn $30,000 a year! Plus more when you consider shift differential, overtime, etc. Collectively, these posi- tive futures could have a $34,000 annual impact on Cit- rus County It's encouraging to know that by investing donor dollars into programs that truly ad- dress the root cause of social need, we can see real, lasting change. When we invest in people who are willing and committed to improving their own lives, the results are sim- ply awesome. Jessica and Ash- ley were both so appreciative of the support they received from United Way, but as I quickly reminded them, it was of Inverness, but is it OK for a county commissioner to be part of the mix? If this was Commissioner Dennis Damato complaining about construction quality and trying to win business for his private company or com- missioner Rebecca Bays com- plaining about insurance costs and claiming her private business could do a better job, the regular county critics would be howling with outrage. The ethics commission complaint filed by Adams against Bays documents how the commissioner is just try- ing to make others look bad as opposed to dealing with the problem. Adams actually voted to ap- point Mike Bays, his fellow commissioner's husband, to the country's enterprise board. Adams asked Wesch if the appointment was OK and the lawyer gave him the thumbs-up. Two weeks later Adams said he went to an ethics class for new commissioners and Volunteer to help veterans We need to understand the meaning of governance. Whether it be at the local level or the state level or the national level, it is important to understand the reason why some issues move slowly At the local level those ordinances affect all of us personally, at the state level they have significant impact when they affect us on a county level, and when it is nationally, as with our Congress, they take small steps to make sure they don't make catastrophic mistakes that will af- fect all of us, at least that is what they have tried to do in the past It has come to my attention that Con- gress is afraid to make decisions. Those members have shut down the govern- ment to try to make the point that they are afraid to pay for all the laws they have passed, and yet, they, the Con- gressmen, are still being paid. There is something terribly wrong with what is happening with our gov- erning in Washington. I don't need to tell you about all the public employees that are getting IOUs to continue to work, nor do I need to tell you about the lack of the Veterans benefits to families that have lost their loved ones to war and the benefits to help bury them. I plan to volunteer my services to the Veterans Clinic here in Hernando to help veterans receive their benefits. I did it for my 89-year-old dad in Massa- chusetts, a DAV veteran, and I plan to help anyone who needs help here in Hernando. As I find this situation intolerable for our local veterans seeking assistance, I invite all of you that read this letter to the editor, to help our fellow veterans, and volunteer to help them as well. We here in Citrus County have always told our representatives in Washington what is important to us, and our families. We have the largest percentage of veterans in any county in the state and it is im- portant for our representatives' in Con- gress to represent us and all the other veterans in the country Please join the effort I'm sure we can help our veterans here at home and maybe elsewhere in the state. Suzan Franks Hemrnando their willingness to improve and their dedication that re- ally made it all happen. Right now, our United Way is uniting community agen- cies like the Early Learning Coalition, We Care Food Pantry CASA, the Boys & Girls Clubs, Catholic Charities and several others to layer up their serv- ices to radically impact the lives of those in our commu- nity who are willing to change their lives. We know that adults who commit to going back to school face financial barriers. By bringing together all of our efforts, we can make a bigger difference. Adult stu- dents who are confident that their children are in a safe, positive learning environment and are assured that there learned the appointment was not OK. Instead of returning to the commission and Wesch to inform them of his discovery, Adams immediately went to the state ethics commission to file an official complaint. He could have resolved the problem by pointing staff to the information he learned. Instead, he played a fun game of "gotcha" and tried to get Commissioner Bays in trouble. The ethics commission re- jected the charges because Mike Bays stepped down and never attended a single meeting. The charade cost Commis- sioner Bays $8,400, and by law the county is liable to pay the bill. Taxpayers should not be fooled by this stuff. While it's fun to hate politicians at all levels of government, it's not fun to see our county turned inside out. Staff morale is in the base- ment. Key leaders (like Wesch) are seeking jobs in other locations because they don't want to deal with the will be plenty of food at home; are better able to concentrate at school. Our collective ef- forts will strengthen our col- lective results. Our community needs to rally behind people like Jessica and Ashley, people who have big dreams and the drive to achieve them. Your commitment to United Way is a part of reach- ing better days in Citrus County Because of the generosity of our donors, we are more hopeful today than yesterday Hopefulness is a long way from hopelessness. Hopeful- ness sounds a lot better, don't you agree? Amy Meek is CEO of United Way of Citrus County nonsense. And people who might want to do business here are not going to be im- pressed by this level of official foolishness. Commissioner Adams is fond of reminding everyone that he is very wealthy and a terrific businessperson, and that he wouldn't accept such poor performance from his employees. The commissioner needs to listen to his own words. His combative behavior and con- stant criticism of everyone around him should not be tol- erated in private business or any level of government There is plenty of value to some of the insights that Scott Adams could lend to county government But his tech- niques are destructive to process and the people who try to operate within it.

COMMENTARY SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2013 C3 CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE SoundOFF Do the hokey pokey I sincerely wonder if anybody else has thought about the fact that when you see these pic- tures of our county commis- sioners in the paper, regardless of what the activity is, they are all lined up in their favorite ro- tation, almost like a bunch of robots. Is there any reason that they can't move around? Keep sale proceeds from commissioners This call concerns the pro- posed sale of the hospital in In- verness. I would normally favor the sale for cash. However, there is no way that I trust the county commissioners with the proceeds from this sale. They have shown time and time again, they are tax-and-spend Democrats pretending to be Re- publicans in order to be elected or stay in office. An exception I would make would be to put the funds in an untouchable trust account with only the in- terest or dividends available for county use. I would also ex- clude the school board use of any of the funds from the sale. We're being drained Interesting article on water use permits (Oct. 12). In the article, it lists many things to obtain an application for water withdrawal. Well, in the past year, Swiftmud has approved all of these per- mits for withdrawal and they are clearly in violation of A, B, C, D and probably E. ... Every- body knows the aquifer is being drawn down, there's less fresh water coming out of the springs, the rivers are becoming salt and we're going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg, all in the name of greed and nobody has the courage to stand up and say enough's enough. Detecting the texting As of Oct. 1 in the state of Florida, it's illegal to be texting and driving. Who's the person that came up with this great rule? You have to get stopped by something else and then the officer says you were texting too. I say, "No, I was dialing a number, it's totally different." God bless that woman I would like to thank the woman who found my purse in the Walmart shopping cart. My heart almost stopped when I re- alized what I had done after I left. I went back and some woman had turned it in. I am grateful and realize there are more honest people than not and God bless the woman who turned it in. The dope on the Dollar Anybody out there tell me why the Family Dollar in Beverly Hills is not open yet? Stop tailgating There needs to be something done about these rude, incon- siderate people tailgating. I don't care if it's the people that give out the driver's licenses, or the police need to comment about something, or the car manufac- turers need to develop something. I mean this is wrong. Somebody's going to get hurt real bad. I mean it's Saturday 11 o'clock in the morning and they're tail- gating. You got bikers going the speed limit and you still got some car just a couple car lengths behind him going 60 mph. Ever the shills I wonder if the Chronicle has the audacity to really start re- porting what's going on. You al- ways report the stuff that's coming from Beverly Hills when, in all actuality, it's less than a football field from Terra Vista or Citrus Hills or where the high influential people with a better income of the people who live in Beverly Hills live. But you always want to put in the paper it's Beverly Hills. The ac- tual address, why don't you say where it's from? It's from Terra Vista. It's right across the street. We could put a football field and you're in Terra Vista from Gus' Golden Gym instead of always painting Beverly Hills the bad place it is.

I think it would be very helpful to both his assistants and the commis- sioners if the newspaper would publish an organizational chart of just how this county runs under Brad (Thorpe) and I think it would clear up a bunch of is- sues and everybody would ei- ther feel much better about the county administration or under- stand that there are serious problems.

They gave me a num- ber to call.... I called. They asked me for my age. I gave them the wrong age. I said I was 50 and then they wanted the date of my birth and that's when I asked them, "Why do you need the date?" They didn't answer me; they just hung up. So all I know is, this is a fraud.

The relays bring teams of volunteers, often associated with businesses or community organizations, which raise money through pledges to participate in the 18-hour walk. Thousands of dollars are raised for the American Cancer Society. And where does the money go? Mike Wright Staff writer ome say the money should provide research to de- velop preventative meas- ures and treatments for cancer Others say the money should be used for patients in need who can- not afford even a drive to the doc- tor. "We fall in both categories," said Robyn Liska, executive director of the American Cancer Society chapter in Tampa. Eighty percent of money raised through Relays for Life is spent ei- ther on research or goes back into the community for programs to aid cancer patients in need, she said. Those programs include resource rooms, which provide supplies, such as wigs and soft bras and are staffed by volunteers. The Ameri- can Cancer Society has a resource room at Citrus Memorial hospital. Another program is called "Road to Recovery," where volun- teers drive patients to doctor visits or for treatment. "One of the biggest concerns is how do we get patients from point A to point B?" Liska said. "The Road to Recovery provides thou- sands of trips." The American Cancer Society is also provides free lodging for pa- tients and caregivers who qualify at its Hope Lodges; the two used by Citrus residents are in Gainesville and Tampa. "In 2012 we housed over 40 Cit- rus County patients and care- givers in a Hope Lodge," Liska said. The Hope Lodges have housed about 29 Citrus County pa- tients and caregivers so far this year See Page D3 * Death rates from breast cancer have dropped 34 percent since 1990. * In January 2012, about 2.9 million women in the U.S. had a history of breast cancer.

Paul Ryan and top Senate Democrat Harry Reid can agree: There won't be a "grand bar- gain" on the budget. Instead, the Wisconsin Republican and the Nevada Democrat both say the best Washington can do in this bitterly partisan era of divided government is a small-ball bargain that tries to take the edge off of automatic budget cuts known as sequestration. Official Capitol Hill negotiations start next week, but Ryan and Reid both weighed in Thursday to tamp down any expectations that the talks might forge a large-scale agreement where several previous high-level talks have failed. Long-standing, entrenched differ- ences over taxes make a large-scale budget pact virtually impossible, ac- cording to lawmakers, their aides and observers who will be monitoring the talks. Republicans say they simply won't agree to any further taxes atop the 10- year, $600 billion-plus tax increase on upper-income earners that President Barack Obama and Democrats mus- cled through Congress in January Without higher taxes, Democrats say they won't yield to cuts in benefit pro- grams like Medicare. "If we focus on some big, grand bar- gain then we're going to focus on our differences, and both sides are going to require that the other side compro- mises some core principle and then we'll get nothing done," Ryan, who chairs the House Budget Committee, .

By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark U.S. crude for Decem- ber delivery was up 30 cents at $97.41 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Ex- change. The contract which rose 25 cents to $97.11 on Thursday, is down nearly 5 percent over the past two weeks. Brent crude, a benchmark for in- ternational crude also used by U.S. refineries, was down 8 cents at $106.91 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London. Markets OK despite big slide in Nikkei LONDON Financial markets outside of Japan were lackluster Friday at the end of a week that's seen the S&P 500 and Germany's DAX post record highs and the dollar fall to near two-year lows against the euro. In Tokyo, the benchmark Nikkei index slid 2.8 percent to 14,088.19 as the dollar fell below its 200-day average of 97.30 yen. In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was flat at 6,714, little affected by news that the British economy grew at a quarterly rate of 0.8 percent in the third quarter Elsewhere in Europe, Ger- many's DAX was 0.1 percent lower at 8,975, having earlier risen to an all-time high of 9,010.65, which was the first time it has ever breached the 9,000 mark. The CAC-40 in France was 0.4 percent lower at 4,261. -From wire reports Bruce Williams SMART MONEY Credit card bills pile up when sick EAR BRUCE: I was very ill in 2010 and got way behind on credit card bills. I tried paying the minimum amounts that were due, but without being able to work, I got way behind. I planned to go bankrupt, but it has- n't been sitting well with me. My husband passed away a few months ago, and I got a very small insurance payment. After the fu- neral and other expenses, I now have about $9,000 left. All the credit card companies want to make offers of smaller amounts to settle. I own my house outright. I really don't want to go bankrupt. Do you think there is any way to get a loan from a bank or a line of credit using the house, and paying the settlement amounts of the credit cards? Will a bank refuse to go for that with my credit score being in bad shape? PR., via email DEAR PR: I certainly sympa- thize with your situation.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE MONEY Continued from Page Dl would have been approved. The fact that you have $9,000 left after settling the funeral and other expenses could present some problems. Regardless of the source of the funds, the strong likelihood is that the courts would want you to settle at least most of that money before bankruptcy was al- lowed. I understand you are reluctant to go bankrupt, and since the credit card companies are willing to make a deal, see what kind of offer you can get, maybe 10 percent to 15 percent on the dollar It may very well be that you could settle the bills with the $9,000 and not have to consider bankruptcy You didn't indicate how much debt you are in. In the event that the amount is substantially over the $9,000, you should really consider consulting a bankruptcy attorney, but the reality is you are going to give up most of the $9,000. DEAR BRUCE: You have said that one can get a 6 percent to 8 percent re- turn on an investment. I would like to know how to do that since I have read and been told by a financial adviser that one can only rely on a 4 percent return for retirement. What strategy do you suggest to get your yield? -M.B., via email DEAR M.B.: I have said consistently that I believe it is not unreasonable to expect a 6 percent to 8 percent annual income on my investments. I have been achieving that for many, many years. Not every year. I had losing years, as well. But over the long haul, the average has been 7 percent and in many years considerably higher There is no secret, but it's necessary to take a certain degree of risk. Overall, the stock market has consistently given me those types of returns by in- vesting in conservative, dividend-paying companies. There are going to be years when all of the conservative investments in the world are not going help. In the years 2008 to 2011, there were a lot of compa- nies that lost value and others that failed to increase. But you will notice that if you kept all of your investments that went in the toi- let during the 2008-2009 period, in most cases you will have recovered your investment with a substantial profit. The question is, are you prepared to take a certain degree of risk? If your in- structions to your adviser are that you are absolutely risk-adverse, then even 4 percent is a difficult number to achieve. In my view, conservative, strong Ameri- can companies are here and will re- main here. Properly invested, the type of return I suggested is not unreason- able. DEAR BRUCE: Our daughter went to school to be a veterinarian assistant Her student loan rate was 3 percent. Three years later, her student loans in- creased to 6.5 percent and 7 percent. She now pays $200 per month, interest only, because it's all she can afford. She says that she cannot even think about marriage and starting a family when she is in debt. She owes about $35,000. She is very frustrated, and so are we in watching her struggle. When the government took over these loans, the rate doubled. Is this how we take care of our young people and en- courage schooling to get ahead? The only encouraging thing we have heard is that after 30 years, her unpaid balance would be forgiven. By that time, she will have paid $72,000. -N.B., via email DEAR N.B.: I can understand and sympathize with your daughter's situa- tion. I have no notion as to how much money she had to borrow, as opposed how much she wished to borrow rather than work, when she was in school, but the fact remains that she now owes about $35,000. That she can't even think about mar- riage is distressing, however I don't nec- essarily agree. As to the family, that is a different matter Were she to get an extra job, over and above her regular job, at $5,000 a year, she could unload her debt in five years or so. With her skills, this shouldn't be a difficult thing to find. There are many veterinary practices that work on week- ends and pay substantial wages to folks who are willing to put in those weekend hours. She also might be able to find a lower interest rate. I am no expert in that re- gard, but I can certainly suggest that she talk to the finance people at her school. They may be able to help her Let's face it, she got herself in this situa- tion because she wanted to better herself and she has a $35,000 investment in herself. You didn't indicate how much she earns, but as a young person, if she puts in six or seven days a week, she should be able to dispose of that loan in a rea- sonable amount of time. The fact that many kids are doing it is testimony that it can be done. DEAR BRUCE: I have a pipe dream and would like your opinion on the idea. We own our own home, worth about $450,000. We have an IRA with $50,000, savings of $60,000 and $150,000 in the stock market. Our income is $55,000 a year As you are well aware, the stock mar- ket is not all that stable. I am wondering if we should sell our stocks and pur- chase a vacation home near one of our sons. One lives in Sacramento, Calif, and one in Sparks, Nev We would prob- ably use the vacation property on sev- eral long weekends. Our visits now are only on weekends, and we stay at their homes. I am 87 years old and my wife is 85. We have no debt other than utilities and living expenses. -R.R., via email DEAR R.R: You say you have a pipe dream? I don't find it a pipe dream. If you want to buy a vacation home, I have no problem with that. But I don't think it's the wisest thing to do from a finan- cial point of view You say stocks are not all that stable. I consistently point out that if you invest in conservative, dividend-paying com- panies, then the stock market can be one of the best places to have your in- vestments grow That being observed, at your respec- tive ages of 87 and 85, purchasing a va- cation home doesn't seem to be the best choice. On the other side of that, there is no reason in the world why, in either the Sacramento or Sparks areas, you couldn't find an attractive and useful va- cation property to rent. You wouldn't have the responsibility of upkeep, and as a practical matter, how many years are you going to be able to go out and vacation? I think you should start the vacation immediately, but I would consider leasing a home rather than purchasing one. Send questions to bruce@bruce williams.com.

BUDGET Continued from Page Dl said in an interview Thursday "So we aren't focusing on a grand bargain be- cause I don't think in this divided gov- ernment you'll get one." In an interview Thursday with Ne- vada public radio station KNPR, Reid, the Senate majority leader, agreed that a large-scale grand bar- gain wasn't in the cards. "They have their mind set on doing nothing, nothing more on revenue, and until they get off that kick, there's not going to be a grand bargain," Reid said. "We're just going to have to do something to work our way through sequestration." Ryan, his party's vice presidential nominee a year ago, and Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., are two of the key congressional figures in the talks. They both say they're seeking com- mon ground between the sharply dif- ferent Republican and Democratic budgets. Common ground, however, is a much different concept than compro- mise. It involves finding ideas upon which they can agree rather than compromising principles such as Re- publican opposition to tax increases or the unwillingness by many Democ- rats to consider cutting future Social Security benefits by decreasing the annual cost-of-living adjustments. Instead of a broad agreement en- compassing tax hikes and structural curbs on the growth of benefit pro- grams like Medicare and Medicaid, Ryan says he's seeking a "smaller, more achievable objective." The talks, he said, also will focus on alleviating another upcoming round of automatic spending cuts and re- placing them with longer-term cuts. Sequestration mostly hits so-called discretionary spending, the money approved by Congress each year to run agency operations. Ryan wants to cut autopilot-like spending on entitle- ment programs like Medicare to ease sequestration's effects on both the Pentagon and domestic programs. "I think we all agree that there's a smarter way to cut spending" than se- questration, Ryan said. "If I can re- form entitlement programs where the savings compound annually ... that is more valuable for reducing the debt than a one-time spending cut in dis- cretionary spending." The White House and Democrats are pressing to include new revenue from closing tax loopholes and infrastruc- ture spending to boost the economy "Even if we do not have the big grand bargain, if you were to have a medium deal or small deal, those deals could have permanent loophole closures and permanent mandatory savings that would help our perma- nent long-term fiscal situation," sen- ior White House official Gene Sperling told a business group Friday The automatic spending cuts are required because a 2011 deficit-re- duction supercommittee failed to reach an agreement. The cuts would carve $91 billion from the day-to-day budgets of the Pentagon and domestic agencies in 2014 compared with the spending caps set by a 2011 budget deal. The Pentagon would absorb al- most 60 percent of the cuts. Republicans are looking at a bushel basket of cuts to Medicare health care providers contained in Obama's budget They also have voiced sup- port for curbing Social Security cost- of-living adjustments, an idea Obama has backed, but only in the context of a broader deal in which Republicans would allow tax increases. That pro- posal won't fly in the current talks. There are also several supercommit- tee ideas like curbing Postal Service cost overruns, making federal workers contribute more to their pensions and raising premiums on higher-income Medicare beneficiaries. Democrats, meanwhile, are wary of using cuts to Medicare and other enti- tlement programs to ease cuts in the defense budget. Negotiators still might explore curbing generous mili- tary retirement, health care and pre- scription drug benefits as a way to restore cuts to readiness and pro- curement of weapons systems. "Congressional Democrats and the White House, rightly in my view, don't want to use domestic entitlement cuts to offset easing or eliminating the de- fense side of sequestration on top of the nondefense discretionary side," said Robert Greenstein, president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. FUNDS Continued from Page Dl Traditionally Citrus County has had three Relays for Life at each of the county's public high schools. In 2014, the events are being con- solidated somewhat. Inverness and Lecanto will share one relay at Cit- rus High School, and Dunnellon will share a relay with Crystal River at Crystal River High School. Both re- lays are in April. In 2011 the Citrus County relays raised $207,000. While final figures weren't available, the 2012 relay raised an estimated $168,000, she said. Liska said fund-raising amounts fluctuate, but she hopes that consoli- dating three relays into two in 2014 will reduce the cancer society's costs while increasing donations and inter- est. Liska said the cancer society stands firm in its hope of easing the impact cancer has on patients and caregivers. "That's why we stay focused on helping the most people with the most focused services," she said. "We aim at reaching the most and saving lives, which is our ultimate goal."

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Plant flowering trees at correct time of year hen buying any plant, it is impor- tant to know the correct botani- cal name, both genus and species. Only then can garden- ers research the chosen plant's range, characteristics, cultural needs and tolerance to drought, cold, heat, local dis- eases and pests. Both common and botanical names are usually marked on the plant tag. All kinds of folk- lore, old wives' tales, misinfor- mation and personal opinion is available online and in old Jane books. Plant sellers often are JAN more concerned with making a dollar than your personal plant GARI wants and needs. More accurate and reliable informa- tion comes from university and govern- ment sites like forestry and natural resources department websites and plant atlases. Check the date of publication and when it was updated. A recently published (after the prolif- eration of DNA testing) gardening book is my personal favorite source. I can relax in the electric recliner or rocking chair and browse books and their color pic- tures to my heart's content. If I fall asleep and/or forget what I read, then the information is readily available just by flipping the pages. Flowering trees add sea- sonal color to Florida gardens. Most trees bloom for a short month or so, then set seeds. They are often deciduous or leafless in winter when their bark, form and structure add Weber interest to winter gardens. IE'S Deciduous trees that shade a home in summer but let the DEN sun warm the house in winter can reduce the high cost of heating and cooling. Flowering trees are best transplanted from nursery contain- ers while dormant in the fall and winter Digging from the wild is rarely successful, not recommended, could be illegal and is not worth the effort involved. Leafless trees need much less watering See JANE/Page ElI Inside...

Could 'Kenmore' guitar be related to town in Washington? ear John: I am trying the case. Another online in- to find out informa- terest years ago had an idea tion about a guitar I but was not sure. inherited from my mother It was left to her by my grandmother It was used in the early 1940s, so I know it is old. The name on the han- dle is Kenmore. I have tried to get it appraised, but nobody can fig- ure out what it is, and I get various replies. I was given an idea that John Sikorski SIKORSKI'S AT'IC maybe it was made for an old guitar shop in Kenmore. I never got a reply from that message.

Some think it is a Silver- tone, but that dif- ferent brands were used de- pending who was selling them. Searching Ken- more only gets me appliances. Would you know any- thing about that? -N.R., Internet DearN.R: I was not able to find any collector interest relative to the name Kenmore. It could have been as suggested, retailed through a store in Kenmore, Wash.; it appears there are quite a few guitar shops in that city For research, you might contact the library in Ken- more. The Mandolin Broth- ers in Yonkers, N.Y, specialize in stringed instru- ments. Perhaps they can help with the type of guitar you have. The website is www.mandoweb.com. Good luck, and let us know what you discover DearJohn: I have enclosed pictures of a vase that be- longed to my mother I be- lieve it is quite old, as I am 71 and she had it long before I was born. It is in very good condition with no chips. The gold is slightly worn on the handles. The markings on the bottom are faint, but it has the num- ber 52 written in gold. Under that it says Germany Under Germany is what looks like a blue crown attached to a dia- mond shape. At the bottom I think it says Audolstadt. I always thought the vase was very beautiful, but my mother thought it had no value. I read your column in the Sunday paper and I am curious about this piece. The other pictures are of a pottery dish from China. It too is in very good condition. This looks like it was hand- made, and the work is a little rough, with ridges showing on the inside and slight im- perfections showing along See ATTIC/Page E5 This old guitar bears the obscure brand name "Kenmore." Special to the Chronicle CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE ATTIC Continued from Page E4 the bottom. The outside designs are done nicely and it looks like the out- lines of the flowers were carved into the clay before it was painted and glazed. I believe that this piece is also quite old. I would appreciate any information you could give me on these. PL., Internet Dear EL.: The word at the bottom of your pretty vase is actually Rudol- stadt. The Rudolstadt Porcelain Factory was es- tablished in Thuringia, Germany, in the 18th cen- tury and continues into current times. They have been producing beautiful decorative porcelains and tableware and are widely recognized by collectors. The mark on your vase indicates it was made about 100 years ago. Rela- tive to collector interest, it is low on the totem pole. Potential dollar value is below $50. The other dish was made in China and appears to be porcelain. I think it was made between World War I and II. Potential dollar value is below $50. Dear John: The 19 1/2- by-25 1/2-inch untitled por- trait is number Ed 64/125 and is signed Cathelin, the artist being, I hope, the French painter Bernard Cathelin, 1919-2004. How should I proceed to deter- mine its authenticity? Is it an authentic Bernard Cathelin, and what is its current value? I have wandered all over the Internet looking for and at Bernard Cathelin por- traits and nudes. Of the works I have come across, my print appears very like portraits that have the name "Claudine" in the title. I have enclosed a photo to ac- company myverbal descrip- tion. -J.F, Inverness DearJ.E: Works of art by Bernard Cathelin are ea- gerly sought after in the art market. He produced oil-on-canvas paintings and a large quantity of original prints. Your print is likely a lith- ograph. I think it is gen- uine and not a reproduc- tion. To be sure, take a hand magnifier and look closely at the details. If you see a tiny, uniform dot pat- tern, it is a commercial- grade print. Potential dollar value, if I am correct and it is origi- nal, is up to $500 at this time. I suggest you keep it for now John Sikorski has been a professional in the an- tiques business for 30 years.

And everyone has an opinion about them. Many homeowners rely on their neighbors for "advice" regarding their trees. Often, this ad- vice is incorrect or inac- curate and is simply passed on from person to person. As I have said many times, there are three things that will get you in trouble with your neigh- bor- kids, dogs and trees. I can only help you with the latter; the other two issues will have to be Eric ] resolved among your- ARE selves. C That being said, I will CULl impart some of my tree knowledge to dispel common myths concerning trees. The items below are only a few of the common myths; space does not permit me to address all of them at this time. U My tree is green, so it must be healthy. Nothing could be further from the truth. A tree's vascular sys- tem provides a system to transport nutrients and water from the soil and food (sugars) from the leaves. This vascular system is known as the cambium layer, which is an ex- tremely thin layer found just inside the bark. As long as most of this layer is in- tact, the tree will continue to live and grow If the tree is getting suffi- cient nutrients, water, and food, it will appear green. Inside this cambium layer is the sapwood and heartwood of the F r trunk. Much or most of the wood within the trunk can be decayed without affecting the tree's ability to transport food and water However, a considerable amount of decayed wood can compromise a tree's ability to support it- self or its heavier branches. Thus, people Share often surprised when a green tree fails; upon Subsequent examination, f one can see the extensive decay within the trunk. Outward signs of decay can include oozing, bark splitting, bulges in the foyer trunk, vertical cracks, and lOR carpenter ants. A certi- Sfied arborist can examine U RE your tree in greater detail to determine the health of the tree and its likelihood of failure. U Mulching around a tree is al- ways good. Recent research has proven that any amount of mulch over the root ball of a newly planted tree is detrimental. The mulch can prevent adequate rainfall from reaching the roots and can hold in moisture, which promotes fungal activity While it is OK to place mulch around the root zone of an estab- lished tree, it should always be kept away from the trunk. Mulch directly against the trunk leads to excessive moisture on the trunk, which pro- motes fungi and can lead to decay In addition, if mulch is used on a larger tree, it should be kept to a 3- to 4-inch depth.

Spanish moss is killing my tree. Spanish moss is neither Spanish nor moss. It is actually a bromeliad and is in the pineapple family Spanish moss is native to South America and the southeastern United States. It is an epiphyte, which means it uses the tree only for support and gets water and nutrients from the air or rainfall. It does not have roots which penetrate the tree and Spanish moss does not harm the tree per se. If Spanish moss be- comes more prevalent in a tree, it is due to a thinning canopy, which allows more sunlight, creating a more suitable environment for growth. Thus, the thinning canopy is a symptom of some other problem, such as a compromised root sys- tem, soil compaction, etc. Generally, it is not rec- ommended that Spanish moss be removed from the canopy of a tree due to the expense and temporary nature of the removal. However, in the event that Spanish moss has accumu- lated at the end of a long limb which has most of the foliage concentrated at the end, the moss should be removed to lessen the OOOGGYH y afd ' REAL ESTATE, INC. lr) -5569 W.

Topping my crape myrtle makes it bloom more heavily. Topping a tree is never recom- mended. Topping destroys the natural architecture of a tree and promotes nu- merous sprouts to grow from the cut point. These sprouts are weakly at- tached and break more easily in the wind and rain. In addition, flowering is not increased. This prac- tice is often referred to as "crepe murder" because of the detrimental effects to the tree. If necessary, taller stems can be cut back to a point of attachment to re- duce height. Leggy stems, stems growing inward, sprouts at the base of the tree, or stems interfering with one another should be cut Flower production can be increased by cutting back stems to a point of at- tachment after the first flowers start to fade. Also, cutting off the seed clus- ters will promote another crop of flowers.

The process can cost a lot - more than $100,000 in many cases, depending on See Page EO10 Prudential Real Estate Takes THREE of Four Categories in J.D. Power and Associates' 2013 WHO SAID THREE's A CROWD') EIO SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2013 LIFT Continued from Pags E9 the home's size, location and foundation. But homeowners may be eligible to get some help from flood insurance policies and grants. Flood elevation maps de- termine whether a property needs to be raised and by how much. Homeowners in high risk zones who choose not to raise their homes could see their flood insurance premi- ums skyrocket. Roderick Scott of L&R Re- sources, a Mandeville, La., company that does home ele- vations, recommends lifting a house 1 or 2 feet above the minimum needed to get a flood elevation certificate. "You don't want to elevate structures more than once in their lifetime," he says. Homes with an open foun- dation with a basement or crawl space are the easiest and least expensive to raise. "It's easy to get underneath and get the structure of the house from underneath and lift it up," he says. Raising those built on a slab CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE foundation takes more time and money "You have to open up walls and remove lower cabinets," Scott says. Any air conditioning and heating systems in the base- ment must be relocated, as well as power and other utili- ties. "They have to go on or above the main level of the structure so they won't be damaged," Scott says. And then there's the ques- tion of how you'll get up to the higher house. Where will you put the stairs, for example? 'A lot of seniors live at the beach. They may need to inte- grate a lift," says Scott. He uses a hydraulic ma- chine to jack up a house, and says the process is so smooth that he once put a glass of red wine on a tabletop. "Not a drop was spilled," he says. Still, he advises people to take pictures off the walls and pack up any valuable crystal. A house may be set down on pilings or cinderblocks, de- pending on the height. It's likely that millions of homes will have to be raised based on redrawn flood maps nationwide, Scott says. How- ever, Dan Watson, a spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, says it's difficult to say how many and where: "In some cases the risk has gone down and in some cases it has gone up." In 2012, Louisiana had the most flood damage claims, fol- lowed by New Jersey and New York. In Brick Township, N.J., Mayor Stephen C. Acropolis says about 8,500 homes suf- fered water damage during Sandy, and that more than half of those will have to be raised because of redrawn maps. He says many people got temporary certificates of occupancy that give them four years to elevate. His own home, he says, is "a 51 percenter that means your house was damaged to more than 50 percent of the value of your home. And so is my son's and a lot of people in my neighborhood." He's not rushing into ele- vating his home, though. "We're going to get prices, we're going to deal with engi- neers," he says. "I don't see a ton of people elevating their homes right away unless they had the money" Benner felt she didn't have a choice. The water in her du- plex after Sandy was a foot deep. It cost $21,000 to lift the house, she says, and she ex- pects the total bill to be $130,000 to $140,000. Part of that was offset by a clause in her flood insurance policy that gave her $30,000 to meet the new height requirements. "By the time I'm done, my base floor is going to be about 12 feet' higher than it used to be, she says. "I feel comfortable." After Paynter's house was lifted, "I had to build stairs. I had to build a front porch. I had to reattach the utilities," he says. He also built a new chimney and redid the house's flood-damaged interior Total cost? He estimates $140,000. He moved back in in August "I'm very happy" he says. Investors Realty of Citrus County, Inc. Visit my website at: www.myflorida-house.com CRYSTA A taste of unspoiled nature: secluded oak trees.

Red maple, Acer rubrum, flowers burgundy in January Flatwood plum, Prunus umbellate, and Chickasaw plum, Prunus angustifolia, flower white from Febru- ary into March. Redbud, Cersis canadensis, starts its pretty pink flower sea- son in February continu- ing into March. Flowering dogwood, Comrnus Florida, is covered in white bracts in March. (The pink-flow- ering Dogwood cultivars are not heat-tolerant in Central Florida.) Red buckeye, Aesculus pavia, flowers red in March when migratory hum- mingbirds are returning from the flower-filled tropical south.

By mid-May, the evergreen cultivar "Little Gem" magnolia, magnolia grandiflora, blooms steadily for about three months and sporad- ically until fall. The original huge Southern magnolia only flowers for about 30 days after it matures at 15 to 20 years of age. The cultivar called "D. D.

LOUMIELECOM E12 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2013 CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE Step on it! Plants for walkways Durable greenery a good choice for high-traffic locations DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press Plants you can walk on are attractive additions to pathways. These low-lying perennials can withstand heavy foot traffic, release pleasant odors when crushed, smother weeds, and cushion your step in the narrow spaces be- tween bricks or flagstones. "You can use 'step- pables' for all kinds of ap- plications," said Kathy Gurnee, owner of Green Thumb Landscaping in Clinton, Wash. "You can use them as groundcover in lieu of bark," she said. "On patios, pathways, rock walls and crevices. I like them around the bottoms of trees. They're also good for living roofs and living walls. They deliver a beau- tiful resilience." Walkables generally are defined as creeping plants that don't exceed 12 inches in height, said John Schroeder, president of Valleybrook International Ventures Inc., a family- owned horticultural oper- ation in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The company's line of'Jeepers Creepers" includes around 100 varieties of low-to-the-ground herbs, mints, evergreens, ivy, moss and more. "I like them for lawn re- pair or replacement," he said, adding that he stripped 900 square feet of turf grass from his own front yard and replaced it with creeping mazus, a dense, ground-hugging plant "It's just a gorgeous lawn application," Schroeder said. "I set out some 1-inch plugs at 12-inch spacings in September, and by July, they were one solid mass. "They give me an inch- thick, lawn-like cover with purple flowers for a few weeks out of the year and no more mowing. Just some trimming and weed- ing around the edges." See STEP/Page E13 I -..______- _______ K S^ Associated Press Durable, low-lying perennials are attractive additions to pathways. They also can be used on patios, crevices, over bulb gardens, in containers and on living roofs and living walls.

A sampling: For areas with moderate to heavy foot traffic: Corsican sandwort has moss-like fo- liage with white flowers in spring. Does well in damp, dry or shaded settings. Celestial spice pratia has tiny green leaves covered by deep blue flowers all summer For fragrance: Corsican mint the small- est of the mint family It delivers a pleasant creme-de-menthe fragrance when crushed. It also does well in shade. Creeping thyme is a fast-growing groundcover that gives off a spicy scent Most thyme varieties are drought- tolerant and can survive moderate traffic. Their flowers are attractive to butterflies. As a lawn substitute: Alpine moss ear grows into a dense carpet with white flowers in summer It thrives in dry climates. Blue star creeper is a dark green perennial pro- ducing soft blue flowers through summer Turkey tangle fogfruit has gray leaves with white to lavender blooms from spring to fall, and is deer-resistant. Creeping mazus, with its low mat of green leaves studded by small lavender flowers, tolerates hot, humid summers. Getting walkables established is half the fun. The other half can be had with pruning. "Corsican mint if you let it go, will grow out and cover the flagstones as well as the weeds," Gurnee said. "I like to be a little cre- ative. I use a pair of scissors and trim it back in some sort of design so the stones aren't cov- ered. That way you can see the tones and tex- tures of the stones up against the plant colors." Associated Press Several flats of potted, walk-on plants are laid out alongside the flagstones of a pathway in Langley, Wash. The plants are divided into several pieces before being placed in the ground, where they grow quickly into a single, weed-choking mat that adds color and contrast to the stones. TIME Continued from Page Ell an item, and as a dealer we subscribe for access to this data. It's most satisfying when a match is found and one realizes how rare or special a piece is. Very often though, the opposite is true. "It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it" is said often, but it's true. Before the Internet, small antique shops relied on personal experience from the shop, shows, other dealers or books to es- tablish value. Publications, while a won- derful resource, are typically high in their pricing. Shops or shows allowed for the per- sonal interaction and exchange of knowl- edge- and of course, dollars for fair and consistent pricing. This "hands-on" experi- ence and knowledge is hard to beat People buy to add to a collection, or they could be buying a memory You may not always find your treasure in a local antiques shop, but the thrill of the hunt is what drives us. What are the chances? A customer shared the story of his fa- vorite toy truck as a child. After returning home from Vietnam, he discovered that his Mom had sold all his toys. As an adult, he searched for a truck like the one he grew up with. As he neared retirement, he found not only the same model, but the one with his initials on the bottom in an antiques mall near Wildwood. Most would say "what are the chances?" but who knows what you may find in your local antiques shop? Next month we'll talk about myths and truths. Until then, happy trails.

They wanted to find a place close to home where they could fly their electric radio controlled airplanes. Phil Sciarroni located an area in Pine Ridge that would be suitable for use as a flying field. They formed the Pine Ridge RC Electric Airplane Club, became the first club officers and, with the assistance of the Pine Ridge Board and Maintenance Deptartment, had a portion of the area mowed and a section leveled for a model airplane landing strip. Recycled tennis screening, provided by the Pine Ridge Board, became the 8 feet by 50 feet landing strip.

The Chronicle apologizes for the inconvenience. MIKEWRIGHT Staff writerThe choice for Citrus Countys first executive director of tourism exaggerated credentials on his rsum to appear he spent a longer time at two similar jobs than he actually had, according to reports and interviews. Robert Bob Marx, who is set to be confirmed by county commissioners Nov. 5 to the $75,000-a-year position, said on his rsum and job application that he was president and chief executive officer of the Peoria, Ill., Area Convention and Visitors Bureau from January 2010 to January 2013. In actuality, he resigned in January 2012. Marx also listed on his rsum an identical position in Bakersfield, Calif., from December 2006 to September 2008. He actually only spent six months on that job, though he stayed in Bakersfield until 2008 as a marketing consultant, according to interviews and published reports. Marx, in an interview Friday, acknowledged the discrepancies, but said they were simple errors because he continued work in both communities as a tourism consultant after resigning from the convention bureaus. In actuality, I was working with them still, he said, referring to the Peoria job. I was an ally and supported what they were doing. Perhaps I didnt sit in the chair, per se. They realized my importance and felt I was a player. Citrus County officials, who offered Marx the job earlier this month, were unaware of the rsum errors until a reporter told them Friday afternoon. Later Friday, Human Resources Director Sherry Anderson said she confirmed with Marxs former employers that Marx ended his Peoria job in January 2012 and began his next job with GF Hotels that same month. Marxs rsum said he was with GF from January 2013 to July 2013. I think it was a typographical error, a lapse in memory, Anderson said. Choice for Citrus tourism director admits incorrect dates in job history Special to the ChronicleRobert Bob Marx is in the running for the position of executive director of tourism, a job which starts at $75,000 annually. See RSUM/ Page A2 Associated PressMONTPELIER, Vt. As states open insurance marketplaces amid uncertainty about whether theyre a solution for health care, Vermont is eyeing a bigger goal, one that more fully embraces a government-funded model. The state has a planned 2017 launch of the nations first universal health care system, a sort of modified Medicare-for-all that has long been a dream for many liberals. The plan is especially ambitious in the current atmosphere surrounding health care in the United States. Republicans in Congress balk at the federal health overhaul years after it was signed into law. States are still negotiating their terms for implementing it. And some major employers have begun to drastically limit their offerings of employee health insurance, raising questions about the future of the industry altogether. In such a setting, Vermonts plan looks more and more like an anomaly. It combines universal coverage with new cost controls in an effort to move away from a system in which the more procedures doctors and hospitals perform, the more they get paid, to one in which providers have a set budget to care for a set number of patients. The result will be health care thats a right and not a privilege, Gov. Peter Shumlin said. Where some governors have backed off the politically charged topic of health care, Shumlin recently surprised many by digging more deeply into it. In an interview with a newspapers editorial board, he reversed himself somewhat on earlier comments that As feds wrangle overhaul, Vt. eyes single-payer See HEALTH CARE/ Page A8 PATFAHERTY Staff writerThe long-term care component of Floridas Medicaid reform will soon be hitting Citrus County. The change is part of the shift to the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Program. Eventually, all of Floridas 3.2 million Medicaid enrollees will be moved to private health insurance companies. The long-term care rollout started in August, with the entire state expected to be covered March 1, 2014. It a huge undertaking, and there have been some problems, said Allen Curtis, administrator of Citrus Health and Rehab Center. But those issues should be resolved by the time it gets to our area. Citrus County currently has approximately 23,000 residents eligible for some type of Medicaid services, with 3,209 of them age 65 and older. Eligibility for Medicaid is determined by Department of Children and Families or the Social Security Administration (for SSI recipients). According to the Florida Agency for Health Medicaid changes coming to Citrus While the la w pushes patients toward private insurers, some services must be covered. /Page A10.

SONNY CELEBRATES A DECADE AS COOTER FEST KICKS OFF See COOTER/ Page A11 PAGE 2 However, that contradicts Marxs recollection that he spent nearly a year in the Peoria area, providing tourism consultation to smaller communities that partner with the convention bureau. Anderson also said she spoke with someone with the Greater Bakersfield Area Convention and Visitors Bureau who confirmed Marxs employment from December 2006 to September 2008. That contradicts both published reports of Marxs resignation in May 2007 and Marxs recollection that he spent more than a year consulting in the Bakersfield area after leaving the convention bureau. A reporter called the number in Bakersfield that Anderson provided. The number was for Rick Davis, a former member of the Bakersfield convention board who retired three years ago. He said he was relying on memory when he gave Anderson the employment dates. Davis, who also was the Kern County, Calif., tourism director, confirmed he hired Marx as a consultant after he left the Bakersfield job to continue marketing work in the area. We were close friends. Hes a very likeable man, Davis said.Marx sought moving expenses, accommodationsMarx was a last-minute entry in the application stack for Citrus County director of tourism, a job recently created by the Tourism Development Council and approved by the county commission. Funding for the Citrus County Visitors and Convention Bureau comes solely from the bed tax on overnight accommodations. Marx said he had recently moved to Kissimmee from Philadelphia, where he was director of sales and marketing for GF Hotels, a company that provides help at hotels in transition between management teams. He said he left GF because he wanted to return to Florida. From 1998 to 2006, Marx was president and owner of Reed Roberts Marketing Communications in West Palm Beach. Marx said he was serving as an adjunct professor at the University of Central Floridas Rosen College of Hospitality Management when he learned of the Citrus County job. One of three finalists, Marx met with members of the TDC, Commissioner Rebecca Bays and Assistant County Administrator Cathy Pearson. The only other time he had visited Citrus County, Marx said, was participating in a golf tournament in Inverness as part of his West Palm Beach consulting company. Impressed with his credentials and background, the TDC made Marx its unanimous choice on Oct. 9. Pearson made the offer to Marx for the new directors job at a starting salary of $75,000, plus an increase of up to $5,000 after six months at the TDCs discretion. The next day, Marx sent an email to Pearson in which he made several financial requests, including:The pay would increase to $80,000 in three months instead of six.The county would pay moving expenses from Chicago, where his furniture is stored. Marx said moving the furniture from Chicago to Kissimmee would be about $4,900, but he could get a better estimate for a move to Citrus County and let Pearson know.Forty-five days of free hotel accommodations to give him time to find permanent residency. Since it is the slow season I would bet that one of the hotels would offer a very favorable rate to the county, plus this would provide me an opportunity to learn the hospitality product and customer base in the area, he wrote to Pearson. In another email three days later, Marx asked about an expense account and mileage reimbursement. Pearson said she flatly told him the county would not provide moving or living expenses. The only perk, offered to all hires at a department director level, is three weeks of annual vacation. And, because the position is a department director, Marx can be fired without cause and receive two months severance pay. Should commissioners confirm him on Nov. 5, his scheduled starting date is Nov. 18.Marx: No intention to hide anythingPolitics, Marx said, forced him from both jobs in Peoria and Bakersfield. In Peoria, the city government wanted to significantly reduce the convention bureaus funding. I thought I couldnt be successful where there was that strong a headwind of people trying to cut our budget for no significant reason, he said. Two years into a threeyear contract, Marx resigned. He said he spent the next eight months working as a paid consultant for smaller towns in Peoria County to better coordinate their marketing strategies with the convention bureau. He declined a reporters request to name the towns he worked with. The Bakersfield job came to an end six months after it began. Marx said the city wanted to take control of the convention bureau and he knew his employment days were numbered when the city manager eliminated the tourism board. Id be lying if I said it didnt cross my mind, Marx said, explaining his reasons for resigning. Marxs friend, Rick Davis, hired Marx as a paid marketing consultant for the Kern County tourism bureau. He was very knowledgeable, Davis said. Hes a team-builder with authority. Hes very positive. Marx left Bakersfield in December 2008 for a job as general manager of a new Fairfield Inn & Suites in Gadsden, Ala. During his TDC interviews in Citrus County, Marx said he never mentioned to anyone the discrepancies on his rsum because no one asked about the employment dates. It wasnt done in any deviant, sly behavior, he said of the rsum errors. There was no intention to hide anything. Bays and Pearson both said they were relying on Andersons background check of Marx. Bays, however, said rsum details are important. I like people to be honest with me, she said. Somebody put something on their rsum, Id like for that to be accurate and verified.Chronicle reporter Pat Faherty contributed to this report.

Crist plots political comeback Former governor now running as a Democrat Associated PressORLANDO Charlie Crist had barely entered the room before a throng of teachers swarmed him. The union delegates and stalwart Democrats wanted autographs, pictures, hugs and even kisses from the former Republican governor. We love you, Charlie! a woman shouted, locking arms with Crist as someone snapped a picture. I love you all, he told those gathered at the Florida Education Associations annual convention this month. Nearly three years after losing a U.S. Senate campaign to Republican Marco Rubio and leaving the governors mansion, Crist is plotting a political comeback that seems fantastical even by Floridas stranger-than-fiction standards. The man who once identified himself as a Ronald Reagan Republican is preparing for another gubernatorial bid, this time as a Barack Obama Democrat. As he travels the nations largest swingvoting state, Crist is emphasizing the bipartisanship and consensus-building that marked his sole term as governor. Most early polls show him leading the unpopular incumbent, Republican Gov. Rick Scott, a former hospital company executive elected with tea party support in 2010. Democratic officials, looking for a candidate to lead them back to power in Florida after 15 years, have embraced the convert. In an era of political polarization, Democratic leaders see his pragmatic governing record as a national model for a party trying to claim the political center and solidify gains among the countrys fast-growing bloc of independent voters. A statewide victory also would give Florida Democrats an organizational edge in the 2016 presidential election. The shutdown and the fiasco in Washington have made that style of bringeverybody-together government much more popular, said Ed Rendell, the former Democratic governor of Pennsylvania and ex-chairman of the National Governors Association. Charlies going to ride a wave. According to a Gallup poll this month, nearly half of Americans now identify themselves as independent, an all-time high. A separate survey found that a record 60 percent of Americans are so dissatisfied with the way Democrats and Republicans are governing the country that they favor the creation of a third major party. Crist, who calls himself the peoples governor, might be able to capitalize on that disenchantment if voters are willing to overlook his history of conflicting positions in key areas. His reputation as a moderate governor stemmed in part from his willingness to break with the GOP on major issues. He vetoed legislation that would have required ultrasounds before abortions, killed a bill that would have instituted merit pay for teachers and supported the restoration of voting rights for ex-felons. Scott has since signed ultrasound and merit-pay bills and reversed Crists voting rights effort. Crist calls bringing a new tone to Tallahassee of bipartisanship his proudest achievement. People are so fed up with the partisan rancor that we are experiencing on a national level, Crist recently told The Associated Press. I would compare it to children in a schoolyard, but that would be insulting to the children in the schoolyard. Associated PressNearly three years after losing a blistering U.S. Senate campaign to Republican Marco Rubio and leaving the governors mansion, former Gov. Charlie Crist is plotting a political comeback that seems fantastical even by Floridas stranger-than-fiction standards. City council meets on MondayA.B. SIDIBE Staff writerCRYSTAL RIVER The city council on Monday will take up the issue of allowing public input during meetings. City officials would like to set a public comment policy that is in compliance with state law. The city currently allows for public comment during two designated periods at each council meeting. In addition, public comment is allowed prior to any action being taken on a public-hearing item. The Citrus County Commission recently began disallowing public comment during public-hearing items amid public outcry. This year, the Florida Legislature adopted a law that mandates that members of the public be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard on a proposition before a public board or commission. The statute provides that the publics right to be heard is to be subject to rules or policies adopted by the board or commission, with such rules or policies to be limited to those that: Provide guidelines regarding the amount of time an individual has to address the board or commission. Prescribe procedures for allowing representatives of groups to address the board or commission, rather than all members of such groups. Prescribe procedures for an individual to use in order to inform the board or commission of a desire to be heard. Designate a specified period of time for public comment. City officials said while the city has previously allowed public comment, it wants the council to adopt a formal policy on public comment in accordance with state statute. The council also will: Discuss the issue of the idled harvester used by Save Crystal River Inc. to clean up Kings Bay. Recently there has been a spate of letters, with the first one coming from Steve Lamb and asking the city council to write to the board of Save the Manatee Club, requesting that the organization not present a legal challenge to a permit being sought by Save Crystal River to run the harvester. Helen Spivey, cochair of Save the Manatee Club, replied to the citys letter saying while her organization is committed to the cleanup of the bay and applauds every effort to do so, it would not stand idly by and watch harm done to the bay, even if the intent was noble. Sen. Charlie Dean, R-Inverness, has joined the fray by writing a letter to Jimmy Buffett, the co-founder of Save the Manatee Club, asking that a legal challenge to the new permit not happen. Introduce Leslie Bollin as the citys special events coordinator. Get the latest crime statistics from Capt. Danny Linhart, the Citrus County Sheriffs Offices westside commander.

Sidibe at 352-564-2925 or asidibe@chronicleonline.com. Public comment on CR agenda Special to the ChroniclePhilip Rhinesmith, a senior environmental scientist for the Southwest Florida Water Management District will be the featured speaker for the Coffee and Conversation at the Old Courthouse Heritage Museum at 7 p.m. Nov. 7. He will describe the archaeological finds discovered by divers during the restoration of the Chassahowitzka Springs, a popular recreation site in southwestern Citrus County, which has had human occupation for more than 9,000 years. Chassahowitzka is a Seminole word meaning place of the pumpkins. As engineers and workers from the water district and Underwater Engineering Services Inc. (UESI) cleaned the springs, clearing organic sediment that was 12 feet thick in some places, they realized they were uncovering significant evidence of human occupation and use of the springs. Rhinesmith will tell the story of researching the area of Chassahowitzka Springs through the Florida Master Site File at the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, which is the states official inventory of historical cultural resources. We knew the area was inhabited during several periods of human occupation, he said. To protect and conserve these cultural resources, the district worked with Southeast Archaeological Research Inc. to develop a plan to conserve and recover the cultural resources exposed during the sediment removal process. That discoveries of these artifacts and the opening of this window to the past will allow a whole new story to be told on the history of the Chassahowitzka Springs and the community of the same name, going back over time some 9,000 years, said Kathy Turner Thompson, Citrus County historical resources manager stated. The program is free and open to the public. For seat reservations, call 352-3416427 or 352-341-6436, or email katherine.turner @bocc.citrus.fl.us. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Scientist to discuss springs research Volunteers make a difference STEPHEN E. LASKO/For the ChronicleVolunteers Paul Calbacher and Wilfred Provencher pack a truck Saturday with boxes of food donated by Citrus County residents during the 2013 countywide food drive. Food was donated by individuals leaving bags and boxes at their mailbox to be picked up by mail carriers who, in turn, dropped the items at the post office. From there, the food is taken to the Daystar Life Center in Crystal River for distribution to various agencies and local food banks. The Community Food Bank of Citrus County along with Citrus County Harvest, the United States Postal Service, Nature Coast Volunteer Center and local food pantries teamed up to make the food drive work. Oct.26 was chosen because it is national Make a Difference Day a Day of Caring, which is the biggest national day of community service.

Todays Highlight in History: On Oct. 27, 1858, the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, was born in New York City. On this date: In 1904, the first rapid-transit subway, the IRT, was inaugurated in New York City. In 1938, Du Pont announced a name for its new synthetic yarn: nylon. In 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, a U-2 reconnaissance aircraft was shot down while flying over Cuba, killing the pilot, U.S. Air Force Maj. Rudolf Anderson Jr. In 1971, the Democratic Republic of Congo was renamed the Republic of Zaire (but it went back to its previous name in 1997). Ten years ago: Suicide bombers in Baghdad struck Red Cross headquarters and three police stations, killing dozens of people. Five years ago: The body of singer-actress Jennifer Hudsons 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, was found in an SUV three days after Hudsons mother and brother were found shot to death in the Chicago home theyd shared. (The estranged husband of Hudsons sister, William Balfour, is charged in the killings.) One year ago: Sixty million people in the eastern United States braced for high winds, torrential rains, power outages and even snow from Hurricane Sandy, which was headed toward a merger with two wintry weather systems. Todays Birthdays: Actress Nanette Fabray is 93. Actor-comedian John Cleese is 74. Author Fran Lebowitz is 63. Singer Simon Le Bon is 55. Thought for Today: In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. Theodore Roosevelt, American president (1858-1919).Today inHISTORY CITRUSCOUNTY(FL) CHRONICLE Todays active pollen: Ragweed, grasses, elm Todays count: 5.5/12 Mondays count: 5.5 Tuesdays count: 6.2 ENTERTAINMENT Quincy Jones sues Jackson estateLOS ANGELES Quincy Jones sued Michael Jacksons estate claiming he is owed millions in royalties and production fees on some of the superstars greatest hits. Jones lawsuit Friday seeks at least $10 million from the singers estate and Sony Music Entertainment, claiming the entities improperly re-edited songs to deprive him of royalties and production fees. The music has been used in the film This Is It and a pair of Cirque du Soleil shows based on the King of Pops songs, the lawsuit states. Jones also claims that he should have received a producers credit on the music in This Is It. His lawsuit seeks an accounting of the estates profits from the works so that Jones can determine how much he is owed. The producer worked with Jackson on three of his most popular solo albums, Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad. Jacksons estate wrote in a statement that it was saddened by Jones lawsuit. To the best of its knowledge, Mr. Jones has been appropriately compensated over approximately 35 years for his work with Michael, the statement said. An after-hours message left at Sony Musics New York offices was not immediately returned. Jacksons hits Billie Jean, Thriller and Dont Stop Til You Get Enough are among the songs Jones claims were reedited to deprive him of royalties and his producers fee. Jones lawsuit states the producers contracts called for him to have the first opportunity to re-edit or alter the songs, in part to protect his reputation.Malaysia bans Ke$ha concertKUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Authorities in Muslim-majority Malaysia have banned a planned concert by U.S. pop singer Ke$ha after deciding it would hurt cultural and religious sensitivities. Concert organizer Livescape said it received a letter about the decision on the eve of the show that was to be held Saturday at a Kuala Lumpur stadium. The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia said separately that it was rejecting the application for Ke$ha to perform for reasons of religion and culture. The ministrys statement did not elaborate. Ke$ha, whose hits include Tik Tok and Die Young, has songs that make explicit references to sex and liquor. Last month, Malaysian officials also barred a performance by American metal band Lamb of God, accusing the Grammynominated groups work of being blasphemous. Ke$ha and her team had previously agreed to modify their planned show in Malaysia, including making changes to her song lyrics and wardrobe, to comply with the governments general guidelines for performers, Livescape said in its statement.Clevelands rock hall honors StonesCLEVELAND It was a big day in Cleveland for fans of the Rolling Stones. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum wrapped up a weeklong schedule of events honoring the Rolling Stones as part of its annual Music Masters series.

A Department of Environmental Protection spokesman told the Tampa Bay Times the agency is looking for other ways to deal with the invasive species. Trapper Scott Cheslak has captured about 700 of the rhesus macaques monkeys with state permission over the past decade. The monkeys are a popular sight for tourists at the Silver River State Park. They have been in the area since the 1930s, though no one is certain exactly how they arrived. Some say they got loose during the filming of a Tarzan movie. A more plausible theory is that they were placed on a small island in the Silver River as an attempt to spice up the Silver Springs Jungle Cruise ride for tourists. The operator of the cruise, however, didnt realize the monkeys could swim. The rhesus macaques have thrived in the central Florida woods. Their colony grew to about 100, but with suburban development conflicts developed. In the 1980s, there were reports that the monkeys had attacked a 3-year-old boy and threatened a game warden, but those faded over time. Cheslak originally worked for a company that supplied monkeys to research laboratories, but the companys CEO later decided to discontinue the practice, believing it was wrong to cage monkeys that had been in the wild for so long. Cheslak, however, continued the work as an independent contractor. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, he was selling some of the monkeysto a research facility. Many of the monkeys Cheslak caught were juveniles or yearlings. His license expired last year, and he hasnt trapped any since. He did not respond to a request for comment. State officials worry the monkeys could pose a health threat to humans because most of the ones Cheslak has captured tested positive for herpesB, which can be fatal. However, there have not been any cases of people infected by the Silver Springs rhesus macaques. The only cases have taken place in laboratories. The manager of the Silver River State Park told the Timeslast year state officials have been torn about the species, considered both a tourist attraction and a health hazard. We know people like to see the monkeys, but we know they dont belong here, manager Sally Leib said. The Animal Rights Foundation of Florida had petitioned the state to stop the trapping. We are very happy that (the park) will once again be known for its natural beauty and outdoor activities, not as a supplier of animals for cruel laboratory experimentation, the groups spokesman, Don Anthony, said a news release Friday.STATECITRUSCOUNTY(FL) CHRONICLESUNDAY, OCTOBER27, 2013 A5 000GE3H Modern Medicine, the Old Fashioned Way 000G7M5 Same Day Appointments Available!

PAGE 7 Associated PressSALAMANCA, N.Y. Tucked in the foothills of western New Y orks Allegany Mountains, Salamanca doesnt appear to have changed much in the last 100 years let alone the last 10 since the Seneca Indian Nation opened a major casino on the edge of town. With New York about to vote Nov. 5 on a casino proposal thats being promoted as a driver of economic growth in small upstate communities like theirs and the state as a whole, residents here say that while the casino has delivered jobs, the bustle and din of 2,000 slot machines and an average of 8,000 daily visitors, its effect is barely evident outside the gleaming gambling palace walls. When the casino came, I thought, Great, the towns going to perk up, Barbara John said as she worked in a consignment shop near the casino, which towers from the landscape off Interstate 86. I expected more. There have been no spinoff restaurants or attractions to keep casino patrons in town, and existing business owners say that except for two hotels, the fast-food chains in the casinos shadow seem to be the biggest winners of any spillover business. Nevertheless, with more than 900 workers, it has become a go-to employer, several residents said, and with its on-site restaurants and concert hall, another option for a night out in a place that lacks even a movie theater. In Salamanca, you cant even go buy socks and underwear. Theres no place to buy it. Theres no stores, said Mayor Carmen Vecchiarella, who described economic development in the community of 6,000 as stagnant since the casino. He hopes that will change with the citys $3.2 million purchase of a 200-acre plot near the casino. Salamanca will use casino proceeds to build roads to the site with the goal of accommodating tax-paying developers. There has been talk of locating a water park or shopping plaza there. The tribe turns over 25 percent of slot machine revenues to New York, which shares a quarter of that with the host communities. Salamanca, after expenses are paid, is left with an average of $2 million a year for economic development, said Vecchiarella, who only recently received the last four years of casino payments following resolution of a dispute between the state and Senecas.NATIONCITRUSCOUNTY(FL) CHRONICLESUNDAY, OCTOBER27, 2013 A7 000GGWO RESERVATIONS & INFORMATION: 1-888-685-1594 (toll free) www.LargoMedical.com Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. Spring Hill Holiday Inn Express 3528 Commercial Way Attend a FREE Seminar: HIP PAIN? 000G9BZ Hickory Island Lighthouse Lounge Come Sit With Friends At The H.I.L.L.000G72Y48 Hwy. 19 S, Inglis, FL Located on Hwy. 19 South of Hwy. 40www.HickoryIslandFL.com (352) 447-2520 FULL LIQUOR / 14 DRAFTSIce Cold A/C Buzz Time Trivia Darts Pool Tables Table Shuffleboard Huge Screen TVs Biker Friendly $100 BEST COSTUME CARVED PUMPKIN CONTEST $100 Live Band & Prizes October 30, 2013 6-10 PM See your independent Trane dealer for complete program eligibility, dates, details and restrictions.

With New York about to vote on whether to allow more casinos in small communities like theirs, Salamanca residents say that the casino has delivered promised jobs. Not much has changed, say residents of NY casino town PAGE 8 Vermont would wait to figure out how to pay for the new system. He said he expects a payroll tax to be a main source of funding, giving for the first time a look at how he expects the plan to be paid for. The reasons tiny Vermont may be ripe for one of the costliest and most closely watched social experiments of its time? Its the most liberal state in the country, according to Election Day exit polls. Democrats hold the governors office and big majorities in both houses of the Legislature. It has a tradition of activism. Several times in recent years, hundreds of people have rallied in Montpelier for a campaign advocating that health care is a human right. Its small. With a population of about 626,000 and just 15 hospitals, all nonprofits, Vermont is seen by policy experts as a manageable place to launch a universal health care project. Within a state like Vermont, it should be much more possible to actually get all of the stakeholders at the table, said Shana Lavarreda, director of health insurance studies at the University of California at Los Angeles Center for Health Policy Research. Vermonts small size also is often credited with helping preserve its communitarian spirit. People in its towns know one another and are willing to help in times of need. The key is demography, said University of Vermont political scientist Garrison Nelson. Discussions about health policy can be handled on a relative face-toface basis, he said. Vermont also has little income diversity, Nelson said. In general, people with lower incomes who dont pay into a health care system make it costlier for other people. Then theres the fact that Vermont is close to universal health care already. Lavarreda noted that the state became a leader in insuring children in the 1990s. Now 96 percent of Vermont children have coverage, and 91 percent of the overall population does, second only to Massachusetts. At this stage, no one knows whether state-level universal health care will succeed, and its an open question as to whether Vermont can work as a model for other states. Developing a singlepayer system for Vermont is a lot easier than in California or Texas or New York state, said U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, using an industry term to describe a system in which health care is paid for by a single entity. Sanders, frequently described as the only socialist in the Senate, has been pushing for some form of socialized medicine since he was mayor of Burlington 30 years ago. The nation is focused on the rollout of the statebased health insurance marketplaces and the disastrous unveiling of healthcare.gov. In the meantime, Vermonts efforts have largely gone unnoticed, said Chapin White, a researcher with the Washington-based Center for Studying Health System Change. Vermonts thinking about 2017, and the rest of the country is just struggling with 2014 right now, White said. Even with years to go before Vermonts singlepayer plan will be in place, several obstacles remain.A8SUNDAY, OCTOBER27, 2013CITRUSCOUNTY(FL) CHRONICLE NATION 000GFUQ GRAND OPENING Announces the GRAND OPENING GRAND OPENING of his new practice Call 563-5488 Comprehensive foot and ankle care for the entire family.

While much of the nation works to implement the health insurance exchanges under the federal health overhaul law, Vermont does that and also keeps its eye on a bigger goal, one that more fully embraces government-funded health care: The state has a planned 2017 launch of the nations first universal health care system. See HEALTH CARE/ Page A9 PAGE 9 The largest national health insurance industry lobbying group, Americas Health Insurance Plans, has warned that the law could limit options for consumers and might not be sustainable. The plan could disrupt coverage consumers and employers like and rely on today, limit patients access to the vital support and assistance health plans provide, and put Vermont taxpayers on the hook for the costs of an unsustainable health care system, said AHIP spokesman Robert Zirkelbach. And questions have also arisen about the expected cost savings of eliminating multiple insurance companies and their different coverage levels and billing styles. Much of a hospitals billing process is coding to ensure that the right patient is billed the right amount for the right procedure, said Jill Olson, vice president of the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems. That would continue in a single-payer system. Vermont also has yet to answer how it will cover everyone. The post-2017 system is not envisioned to include federal employees or those with self-insured employers that assume the risk of their own coverage and are governed by federal law, including IBM, one of the states largest private employers. It also may not include residents who work for and get insurance through companies headquartered out of state, Olson said. At least one resident, 73year-old Gerry Kilcourse, has little patience for the naysayers. Kilcourse said that when he and wife Kathy bought a hardware store in Plainfield in the early 1980s, they struggled for years to find good, affordable health insurance coverage. In retirement, Kilcourse has schooled himself on health policy and advocates for universal coverage. He sees health care as a public good and likens the current campaign to the 19th-century push in the United States for public schools. It should be similar to education, which is publicly funded, Kilcourse said of health care. If we did the same thing for education (as in health care), youd have a number of people being excluded from public schools. Shumlin has made it clear the status quo cant hold. As a part owner himself of a small business a student travel service based in Putney he has spoken often of the burden that employee health coverage is to such business owners. At a Chamber of Commerce forum in September, he called the federal health overhaul a great improvement over the past but added it is not the silver bullet that will ... provide universal access and quality health care for all Vermonters. That, he appears to hope, will come in 2017.NATIONCITRUSCOUNTY(FL) CHRONICLESUNDAY, OCTOBER27, 2013 A9 Mon-Fri 8:30-6 Sat 8:30-1 471 N.

A five-member board created under the law has already launched four pilot projects designed to bring down health care costs. For example, one bundles the price of services that often come together, as in a single, set price for the anesthesia, surgery and follow-up physical therapy connected with a knee replacement. The overall goal of the law is to ensure universal access to and coverage for high-quality, medically necessary health services for all Vermonters. It aims to prevent costs and other barriers from keepingpeople from accessing health care.WHATS NEXT Launching Green Mountain Care will require a waiver from the U.S. government to use federal health care funds to run it. A division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will decide whether to grant the waiver, likely late in the Obama administrations final term, said Robin Lunge, Gov. Peter Shumlins director of health reform. She said Vermont had been successful in winning earlier waivers allowing it to make changes to its Medicaid system. Vermont lawmakers must also approve a state financing plan, which has yet to be developed. The Legislature signaled its support for some form of state financing when it passed the law in 2011.Associated Press PAGE 10 Care Administration (AHCA), current Medicaid recipients receiving nursing facility care and certain similar services will be required to participate. It also affects those on Medicaid due to a disability requiring nursing facilitylevel care. In the future, they will receive long-term care services through a plan managed by one of several selected insurance companies. Those companies will be paid a per-member rate by the state for treatment. Notification for Citrus and the other counties in Region 3 is scheduled to begin Nov. 1 with a prewelcome letter. That will be followed up with a welcome letter Dec. 20 and a reminder letter in January. Feb. 13 will be their last day to choose a managed care plan before initial enrollment, which starts March 1, 2014. Participants will then have a 90-day window to change plans. After that plans can only be changed for good cause reasons or during the annual open enrollment period. Participants in the LTC program will be identified based on current Medicaid enrollment data, said AHCA spokesperson Shelisha Coleman. She added that if a family member feels that they should have been notified and have not been, they can submit a complaint through our online complaint form at http://apps.ahca.myflorida. com/smmc_cirts/. But theres no reason to get stressed out, Curtis said. There is not a lot for patients and their families to worry about. He said there will be counselors available, it will not affect the levels of care and most of the detail work will fall on the providers. Under AHCA guidelines, the new plans will be required to continue existing services for 60 days or until the patient receives a comprehensive assessment and a new plan of care is developed.

PAGE 12 NATION& WORLD Page A12SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2013 CITRUSCOUNTYCHRONICLE Saudi women drive in protest with little problem Associated PressRIYADH, Saudi Arabia More than 60 women across Saudi Arabia claimed they drove cars Saturday in defiance of a ban keeping them from getting behind the wheel, facing little protest by police in their push for easing restrictions on women in the kingdom. The campaigns message is that driving should be a womans choice. The struggle is rooted in the kingdoms hard-line interpretation of Islam known as Wahabbism, with critics warning that women driving could unravel the very fabric of Saudi society. Though no laws ban women from driving in Saudi Arabia, authorities do not issue them licenses. Women who drove on Saturday had drivers licenses from abroad, activists said. Activist Aziza Youssef, a professor at King Saudi University, and another activist said protest organizers received 13 videos and about 50 phone messages from women showing or claiming they had driven. She said they have no way to verify the messages. May Al Sawyan, a 32-year-old mother of two and an economic researcher, told The Associated Press that she drove from her home in Riyadh to the grocery store and back. Activists uploaded a four-minute video of her driving to the campaigns YouTube account. Al Sawyan said she was prepared to be jailed if caught by authorities. She said she was far enough from a police car that she was not spotted. I just took a small loop, she said. I didnt drive for a long way, but it was fine. Al Sawyans husband and family waited at home and called her nervously when she arrived at the store to check on her, she said. She drove with a local female television reporter in the car. They were both without male relatives in the vehicle, which in itself defies the countrys strict norms requiring women to have a male relative in public. Associated PressDemonstrators protest during a rally Saturday outside of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, demanding Congress investigate the National Security Agency's mass surveillance programs. Associated PressA Saudi woman said she got behind the wheel Saturday and drove to the grocery store without being stopped or harassed by police, kicking off a campaign protesting the ban on women driving in the ultraconservative kingdom. Students mom grieves son, teacher in killing Associated PressDANVERS, Mass. The mother of the Massachusetts teenager accused of killing his teacher inside a school bathroom is brokenhearted over the educators death and seeks prayers for her son, according to a statement released Saturday by her sons defense attorney. Diana Chism also asked for prayers for the family of slain Danvers High School teacher Colleen Ritzer, saying her heart is broken for the Ritzer family and the loss of their daughter and sister. Fourteen-year-old Philip Chism is being held without bail on charges he killed Ritzer after school Tuesday, then dumped her body in the woods behind the school. He was arrested early Wednesday. Ms. Chism would like you to know that her son was born in love and is dear to her, very dear, said the statement released by defense attorney Denise Regan. She asks that you know that she cares for the worlds hurt over this and greatly hopes for your prayers for the Ritzer family, the Danvers community, for her son, and all those affected by this tragedy. Authorities have offered no clues on Chisms alleged motive. They also would not say how Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher, was killed. Court to test surveillance law Justice Department intends to use information from spy program against accused terrorist Associated PressWASHINGTON The Justice Department said for the first time that it intends to use information gained from one of the National Security Agencys warrantless surveillance programs against an accused terrorist, setting the stage for a likely Supreme Court test of the Obama administrations approach to national security. The high court so far has turned aside challenges to the law on government surveillance on the grounds that people who bring such lawsuits have no evidence they are being targeted. Jamshid Muhtorov was accused in 2012 of providing material support to the Islamic Jihad Union, an Uzbek terrorist organization that, authorities say, was engaging NATO coalition and U.S. forces in Afghanistan. According to court papers in the case, the FBI investigated Muhtorov after his communications with an overseas website administrator for the IJU. In a court filing Friday, the government said it intends to offer into evidence in Muhtorovs case information obtained or derived from acquisition of foreign intelligence information conducted pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. Last February, a sharply divided Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote that a group of American lawyers, journalists and organizations could not sue to challenge the 2008 expansion of the law. The court those who sued could not show that the government would monitor their communications along with those of potential foreign terrorist and intelligence targets. Last month, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who had ruled with the majority in the earlier 5-4 decision, said the courts ultimately would have to determine the legality of the NSA surveillance program. In the majority opinion last February, Justice Samuel Alito suggested a way for a challenge to be heard. He said if the government intends to use information from such surveillance in court, it must provide advance notice. In his argument before the courts decision, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli had made similar comments to the justices on behalf of the administration. NY state creating gas reserve to prevent shortagesNEW YORK Gov. Andrew Cuomo saidNew York is creating the nations first state gasoline reserve to prevent shortages during emergencies. Cuomo said Saturday that a pilot program on Long Island will hold 3 million gallons of fuel for motorists and first responders. The project is a response to the gas shortages that created hourslong lines in the days after superstorm Sandy. Cuomo says New Yorkers need to be able to get around after bad weather. The reserve will use capacity owned by Northville Industries on Long Island. Cuomo says gasoline from the reserve will be released as needed to meet fuel needs while the industry recovers from an operations disruption, like Sandy.Detroit bets on uncertainty of rail, new arenaDETROIT Detroit may be too broke to pay its bills, but its still thinking big. As the debt-ridden city moves through bankruptcy proceedings, local and state leaders are backing plans to build a new hockey arena and streetcar line. The developments would cost $800 million and bet at least $300 million in future tax revenues to attract people to a city that residents have been fleeing for 60 years. Skeptics said the plans are risky for a city with so much debt that it cant fund services as simple as streetlights. Supporters predict the downtown improvements will expand the tax base and lay the path to a brighter financial future. Jimmy Saviles chauffeur charged with rapeLONDON The former driver for disgraced late BBC entertainer Jimmy Savile has appeared in court to face charges including multiple counts of raping girls younger than 16. Saviles reputation as a popular if eccentric personality collapsed after his death in 2011 at age 84, when hundreds of witnesses and victims came forward accusing him of sexual abuse. Police have since described him as a serial sexual predator. British police charged the driver, 72-yearold Ray Teret, with 32 offenses that allegedly took place between 1962 and 1996, including multiple counts of rape and indecent assault. The 15 accusers were all under the age of 16 at the time.Syrian Kurds capture border crossing with IraqBEIRUT Syrian Kurdish gunmen on Saturday seized a major border crossing with Iraq from al-Qaida-linked groups following intense infighting between rebel groups that raised concerns of a spillover, activists and an Iraqi official said. The latest violence coincided with a visit by the U.N.-Arab League envoy to Iran, a staunch ally of President Bashar Assads government, to press efforts for international peace talks aimed at ending the civil war, now in its third year. The Kurdish militiamen captured the Yaaroubiyeh post in northeast Syria after three days of clashes with several jihadist groups there, including Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.

Salivating customers snake past a sign listing varieties of pie as waitresses walk by carrying trays heaped with fried chicken. Yoders is located in Pinecraft, an Amish-Mennonite neighborhood that swells in the cold months as buses bring visitors from Amish and Mennonite communities in Ohio and Indiana. Its comfort-food menu reflects traditional Amish home-cooking with yummy staples like noodles, pot roast, meatloaf and mashed potatoes. But the food is prepared with a light touch, avoiding the oversalted goo and blandness that gives this type of cooking a bad name. The menu is also sprinkled with surprises you dont expect to find at an Amish restaurant: Asian chicken salad, Amish quesadillas (chicken, cheese and mushrooms), and a salad of mixed greens, crumbled gorgonzola cheese and dried cranberries. Breakfast includes a veggie Benedict spinach, tomato, and avocado with hollandaise sauce and fresh fruit on the side. No meal here is complete without trying Yoders famous pie, which comes in two dozen varieties. The most popular flavor is peanut butter, with layers of crunchy peanut butter topping and vanilla pudding. Also popular are coconut, banana cream, strawberry and chocolate peanut butter. Some varieties are offered seasonally, like mincemeat. In some parts of the country where the Amish spurn modern ways, youll find horses-and-buggies plying the roads, but here the only horse and buggy is a model in Yoders parking lot. Local adherents of the faith instead get around on three-wheel bikes, which form a virtual parade in some parts of town in winter. Pinecraft is also famous for its post office, which the Amish community bought from the U.S. Postal Service after the branch was scheduled to close, and for its simple church, called the Tourist Church. Both are just a block or two from Yoders. The TLC network has even filmed some of its Breaking Amish episodes in Pinecraft. The reality show looks at young people who were raised Amish and Mennonite as they experience life outside those communities and decide whether to go back to them. Yoders, which opened in 1975, has a gift shop and produce market onsite as well. The restaurant seats 130 people but on a busy day in peak season routinely serves 1,500. Customers are a mix of locals and tourists, and only a few are Amish. Its not unusual to hear all kinds of languages spoken on the line to get in; some vacationers will drive an hour from Tampa-St. Petersburg or even two hours from Orlando to eat here. And after putting away all that fried chicken, noodles and pie or, if you must, a salad theres no better way to enjoy the rest of your day in Sarasota than at Siesta Key beach, just a short drive or three-wheeled bike ride away. Its 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday in October well past lunch, and the slowest time of year in Sarasota, where the beautiful Gulf Coast beaches are most crowded in winter and spring. Beth J. Harpaz Associated Press PAGE 14 A14SUNDAY, OCTOBER27, 2013CITRUSCOUNTY(FL) CHRONICLE Dear Annie: My son is a secondgrader. Over the summer, while he was staying with my ex-husband, a boy touched my sons private area over his clothes. This was no slight, accidental touch. It was deliberate. My sons stepmother called child protective services regarding the incident, because the family of the other child runs an inhome day care. As I have sole custody, the child services caseworker contacted me about the incident. I spoke with my ex and his wife, and we were all in agreement that our son would not be in contact with the other child again. It is now four months later, and my son tells me that his father allowed him to play at the home of this same boy who grabbed his genitals. I called my ex, and he doesnt seem to think the initial incident was serious. He feels his wife blew it out of proportion, and theyve had fights about it. I have spoken with child protective services about Dad continuing to allow our son to interact with the neighbor boy who obviously has boundary issues. While my son has not reported a second incident, I am left feeling that I cannot trust his father to parent effectively. Dad seems more interested in proving his wife wrong than he is in protecting our son at this vulnerable age. I cannot in good conscience allow visitation under the current circumstances. I refuse to permit my son to be in a potentially questionable environment, and I cant trust Dad to make the right call. How can I effectively protect my son when hes on Dads watch? I dont want to refuse visitation altogether. Mom in Nebraska Dear Mom: First, please dont demonize this neighbor boy. You were right that the situation needed to be reported, not only because the family runs a day care program, but also because children who molest others are often being abused themselves. We hope CPS checked it out. Still, if you cannot trust your ex to honor the joint decisions you make, your best recourse is to request supervised visitation.

You are about to embark upon a great crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhowers message to Allied Forces prior to the D-Day Invasion.The 70th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion is more than six months away; however, that certainly didnt stop more than three dozen men and women who are likely to participate in re-enactment ceremonies, getting a jump start on preparations for ceremonies planned for next June.And perhaps there was no better way to fully understand the historical significance of the allied invasion the largest joint military operation to this day than to step inside an aircraft used in the original invasion of Europe. From her participation in D-Day, when the Tico Belle was one of 52 C-47s that carried troops and Waco gliders containing elements of the 82nd airborne infantry, shes held a special place in the minds of many. She also dropped much-needed supplies to troops during the Battle of the Bulge, participated in Operation Varsity, an Allied assault to cross the Rhine River, and the post-World War II Berlin Airlift. That history certainly wasnt lost on those who came to prepare for re-enactments, just jump or those who are part of an active military group in their home countries. All told, of the more than 60 jumpers who participated in the two-day event Friday and Saturday at the Dunnellon-Marion County Airport, 11 countries were represented. Its unbelievable, said James Dalueg, a member of the Canadian Royal Air Force. Its an honor to follow in the footsteps of the men who stepped onto that plane so many years ago. Sharon Kitzmiller, who served in the U.S. Army for five years and began skydiving in February, said theres no way to put into words what its like to jump from a plane used in such an historical event. Its unreal, she said, fighting back tears. Its hard to quantify what its like to step in there and jump out, using the same parachutes they used. Of course, were doing it under different circumstances, much different than they were. They were doing it under fire, unsure if they were going to live or die. That is why they are our greatest generation. The National Parachute Test Center (NPTC) hosted the event again this year; however, unlike in years past, opened the event to the public, giving citizens the chance to see the Tico Bell up close. The Tico Bell is a great draw, not only for the jumpers, but the crowd, said Major Robert A. Mathews, U.S. Marines, retired, and president of NPTC, about opening the event to the public. Shes got a lot of great history that everyone appreciates, they understand it. While spectators are given the opportunity to watch almost five dozen men and women make the jump from 1,500 feet, its the behind-the-scenes training they dont see leading up to the two days. Its a great opportunity to provide training to those who need it, Major Mathews said. And its also a great opportunity for the strap jumpers (those who only make a few jumps a year) to keep current. Parachutists take leap of faith from historic plane JEFF BRYAN/Riverland NewsABOVE: A parachutist heads toward the landing zone at the Dunnellon-Marion County Airport using a World War II-era round parachute.

Four members of the 1963 wedding were there for the ceremony. The maid of honor attended by live stream via the Internet from Plum, Pa. Son Roy Klovach of Oldsmar and son Raymond Klovach and granddaughter Lilly came from Columbus, N.C. Also attending were Mr. Klovachs sister, Marylou, her daughter, Stacy, and her daughter, Samantha.

PAGE 19 There are two active members of the Wanderers car club who also belong to several other clubs and have been car enthusiasts most of their lives. Mike and Peggy DeFrancisco have owned and operated Taylor Rental Center on State Rd 44 in Inverness since 2003. They are originally from Norwich, New York, but moved to Florida in 2003 as they were tired of the long, long upstate New York winters and shoveling snow. Mike was an automotive teacher prior to becoming a business owner in Inverness. They have a com bined family of six children and 10 grandchildren. Mike started out by pumping gas at a full service station when he was 11 years old (gas was 28 cents a gallon), and that got him interested in cars at a young age. They currently own a restored 1964 Ford Econoline pickup, a 1975 Ford Pinto Wagon with 27,000 original miles (all original never restored), a 1991 Dodge Shadow convertible, which has only 55,000 miles and they have owned since it was new, a 2012 Dodge Challenger R/T and his daily driver, a 1988 Dodge pickup. Mike does all his own maintenance and repair work and has a 36-by-40-ft. garage equipped with a lift where he keeps his vehicles and does all his work. In the past, Mike and Peggy had fully restored a 1971 VW Beetle and a 1960 Chevy Impala, which took about a year for each restoration. Both cars have been previously sold. Mike also owned a nice 1968 Dodge Challenger, which he sold to a car enthusiast in Germany. They havent attended too many car shows lately and prefer local cruise-ins and power tours. You can usually find them at the Wanderers Club gathering on Friday nights by the Inverness Bealls or at Friday Night Thunder in downtown Inverness the third Friday of each month. One of their favorite events is Mike Kellys Beach Blast in Cocoa Beach every May. At this event, they enjoy a fun weekend with a group of friends, lots of laughs and good times. Both Mike and Peggy enjoy their car hobby and are real enthusiasts. Mike is quite an expert on classic cars and is always willing to help others with any mechanical issues, particularly through his rental business. CAR JOKE: An angry motorist went back to the garage where he purchased an expensive battery for his car six months earlier. He told the garage owner: When I bought that battery, you said it would be the last battery my car would ever need. Now six months later, its dead! Sorry, said the garage owner, I didnt think your car would last longer than that.

The Bucs have never gone on to win more than three games after losing the first seven to begin a season. Schiano said after Thursday nights 31-13 loss that hes focused solely on trying to turn his struggling team around not his job. On Friday, he fended questions about whether he still has the respect and support of his players. The Bucs have lost 12 of 13 games dating to last season and are 7-16 overall since Schiano left Rutgers in January 2012 to take over a team that dropped the final 10 games of 2011. Have I lost the locker room? No. Are they listening? Yes. Are we getting everything we need out of them? Well, obviously not because were 0-7, Schiano said. Ultimately we have good guys in that locker room ... 61 guys that I believe in, and I really strongly feel they believe in me. Does belief get tested when you have an 0-7 record? Absolutely. ... But theres a lot of football left. Weve got nine games remaining. Well take each one, one at a time. Fans chanted Schiano must go! in the closing minutes of the latest loss. There has been little indication of where the Glazer family, which owns the team but rarely grants interviews, stands on the embattled coachs future. Its been a tumultuous season ranging from the messy Associated PressTampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano still has his job amid the cries of frustrated fans calling for the organization to fire him.

Friday night, McGee set a school record by throwing for 416 yards during Lecantos 62-52 loss at Williston. The sophomore quarterback added six total touchdowns (four passing, two rushing) in a superlative individual effort. In the first quarter, I had two touchdowns and I knew it was going to be a shootout, McGee said. My receivers did a great job of getting open all night. McGee did not throw an interception and averaged a whopping 27.7 yards per completion. The Panther connected on 15 of 36 passes for a 41.6 percent completion rate. Im definitely honored for Lecanto, McGee said. It was always a goal of mine to not only break the single-game mark but also passing yards in a season. During a record-setting performance, there was only one thing McGee would have liked more: a win. Besides all individual goals, the team comes first, he said. Above all things, it would be nice to get a win first. For the season, the 6-foot, 170-pound McGee is 66 of 122 passing for 979 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions in eight games. Surprisingly, McGees output wasnt even the best passing performance by a Citrus County quarterback against Williston. In a 2007 playoff game, Travis McGeebroke Lecanto school record for passing yards in a game. Jeremiah LucasLecanto soph. had 207 yards, three TDs. See McGEE/ Page B3 Associated PressTALLAHASSEE Jameis Winston threw three touchdown passes and No. 3 Florida State scored 35 points in the first quarter on the way to a 49-17 victory against North Carolina State on Saturday in Bobby Bowdens return to Doak Campbell Stadium. Bowden, the NCAA career leader in major college football victories, planted the spear at midfield before the game a job usually done by Florida States Seminole mascot. The school honored the 83-year-old Bowden with a pregame ceremony that included nearly 400 former players. Then the current Seminoles went out and put on display that Bowdens best teams would have been proud of, setting up a huge game with unbeaten Miami next week in Tallahassee. Winston completed 16-of-26 passes for 292 yards with one interception and left the game after the opening series of the second half. Rashad Greene topped 100 yards receiving for the third consecutive game with eight receptions for 137 yards and a touchdown for the Seminoles (7-0, 5-0). The Wolfpack upset the Seminoles in Raleigh, N.C., last season, but this year it was no contest as Florida State put on a show for its old coach. N.C. State (3-4, 0-4) had quarterback Brandon Mitchell back for the first time since breaking his foot in the season opener. He completed 17-of-33 passes for 128 yards with two interceptions. Mitchell threw an interception to Terrence Brooks on the second snap of the game and the Seminoles scored four plays later. This was the beginning of a long day for the Wolfpack, who previously won the last four meetings when the Seminoles were ranked. The 35 first-quarter points tied a Florida State record for the most points in a single quarter. Karlos Williams took a pitch to the right side, shook a defender and raced to the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown to make it 7-0. The Wolfpack promptly went threeand-out on the next possession and Winston threw a 39-yard touchdown to Kelvin Benjamin on the first play. N.C. State went three-and-out for the second consecutive possession and Florida State took its time on the next scoring drive. The possession needed seven plays for Devonta Freeman to score an 11-yard touchdown through gaping holes. Florida State then led 21-0. The Seminoles were overwhelming in the first 15 minutes, but the Wolfpack didnt do themselves any favors. Johnathan Alston fumbled on the second snap after the Freeman touchdown and Telvin Smith recovered.

No. 3 Seminoles use huge first quarter to dominate NC State 49-17 PAGE 22 benching and subsequent release of starting quarterback Josh Freeman to an outbreak of MRSA infections in the locker room to a lack of success on the field. I visit with our owners all the time. Theres open lines of communication, Schiano said. Were all trying to just get better and do the things that are going to make the organization better. Safety Dashon Goldson, one of the teams two big offseason acquisitions, sat out Thursday nights game with a knee injury. He said Schiano has not lost the locker room. Theres no complaining, theres no issues. You come in here, its a good work environment, Goldson said. Hes taken a lot of scrutiny off the field. These are tough times, and we understand that, Goldson, an All-Pro last season in San Francisco, said. But he has a job to do, and we do as players, so were just doing what we can to prepare every week and try to win a football game and leave the outside stuff to the outsiders. Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, a team captain, agreed. As long as hes our coach, were going to have respect for him and were going to play as hard as can for him, McCoy said. Its as simple as that. Turning it around wont be easy, especially with a rookie at quarterback. Third-round draft pick Mike Glennon threw for 275 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions against the Panthers, but threw the ball 51 times and attempting 43, 43 and 44 passes in his first three starts. Not a winning formula for a first-year quarterback. I think weve made some right decisions that made us better. Weve got to make more. I think we have to look at exactly what Mike is capable (of), because Mike can do a lot of things. (We need to) make sure were playing to his strengths in every way because thats two games in a row now without an interception, Schiano said. At the end of the game we threw the ball on every down. Take that out and just look at the plays before that, the coach added. Hes efficient, hes doing what we ask him to do. When you know youre going to get that, now youre going to build around that. Schiano said he totally understands the frustration of fans upset about the teams record. Hes not concerned, though, that calls for his dismissal will become a distraction for team moving forward. Football players at this level are very intelligent. They understand the business, Schiano said. I think we all realize its a performance-based business, he added. Players and coaches, were paid to win. Thats what its about. ... Weve got to get our share.B2SUNDAY, OCTOBER27, 2013CITRUSCOUNTY(FL) CHRONICLESPORTS 000G8V1 SCHIANOContinued from Page B1 Associated PressPhil Mickelson is 7-under par after the first three rounds of the CIMB Classic golf tournament at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The final round is today. Pettersen stays atop LPGA Associated PressKUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Chris Stroud and Ryan Moore overcame mistakes and bogeys on the back nine Saturday for a share of the lead after the third round of the CIMB Classic. Stroud started the day five strokes back but surged into contention after five birdies on the front nine including four in a row before hitting into the water on the 12th hole and carding two bogeys for a 4-under 68. Moore (69) opened up a three-shot lead on the back nine only to bogey four of five holes to give it right back. Both were on 12under 204, one stroke ahead of their nearest rivals. Gary Woodland (67) and Kiradech Aphibarnrat (69) were a stroke back. The tricky conditions led to huge momentum swings throughout the day at the PGA Tour event, with plenty of balls in the water and in the rough beneath the palm trees lining the course at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club. Secondround leader Keegan Bradley had a 76 to fall into a tie for sixth at 9 under. Phil Mickelson was 7 under after a 68. The tournament is an official PGA Tour event for the first time. The winner will receive a two-year PGA Tour exemption and a spot in the Masters.BMW MastersSHANGHAI American Luke Guthrie stumbled at the end of the third round and wound up tied for the lead with Spains Rafa Cabrera-Bello in the BMW Masters. Guthrie has led the European Tour event since his 65 in the opening round, and he had a three-shot lead at one point on the back nine at Lake Malaren. But his tee shot caught the bunker on the 16th, leading to a bogey. And he was in such an awkward spot on the 18th green that Guthrie felt his best option was to chip off the putting surface. He missed an 8-foot putt to take another bogey for an even-par 72. Cabrera-Bello was far more efficient, keeping bogeys off his card in a round of 67. His final birdie on the par-3 17th turned out to be good enough for a share of the lead. They were at 8-under 208, one shot ahead of Spains Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (67).LPGA TourYANGMEI, Taiwan Defending champion Suzann Pettersen struggled with three early bogeys but recovered for a 1-over 73 to maintain a four-shot lead in the LPGA Taiwan Championship. The Norwegian dropped three shots over the first five holes but had three birdies and just one more bogey the rest of the way to finish three rounds at 6under 210. Azahara Munoz (69), Sun Young Yoo (72) and Carlota Ciganda (72) were tied for second at Sunrise Golf and Country Club. The second-ranked Pettersen has three LPGA Tour victories this year, winning in Portland, Ore., and France in consecutive starts last month. She also won a Ladies European Tour event this year in China. Taiwanese star Yani Tseng, the 2011 winner, was 10 over after a 72. Winless in 41 LPGA Tour since the 2012 Kia Classic, she has tumbled from first to 25th in the world ranking in seven months.Champions TourSAN ANTONIO Kenny Perry bogeyed the final hole to drop into a five-way tie for the lead in the Champions Tours AT&T Championship. The Charles Schwab Cup points leader followed his opening 65 with a 71 to match Mike Goodes, Bernhard Langer, Colin Montgomerie and Anders Forsbrand at 8 under. Goodes had the round of the day, shooting a 63 on TPC San Antonios AT&T Canyons Course to jump 43 spots on the leaderboard. Montgomerie had a 68, and Langer and Forsbrand shot 69. The top 30 on the money list Sunday will advance to the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship next week at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. Perry entered the regular-season finale 494 points ahead of secondplace Langer in the race for a $1 million annuity.

Senior Steven Swartz was second in the 100 freestyle (53.83). He also qualified by taking fifth place in the boys 50 free (24.17).

Crystal River defeated the Red Devils 53-49 behind 585 passing yards by thenPirates QB Shay Newcomer. Another performance that could be a school record, although it was unconfirmed as of Saturday evening, was the one by sophomore receiver Jeremiah Lucas. Even if it fell just short of a record, Lucas can stake claim to one of the most prolific passcatching performances in Panthers history after rolling up 207 yards receiving and reeling in three touchdowns receptions from McGee. Lucas quarterback gave him credit for a big evening. Hes one of our more athletic guys, McGee said of Lucas. Hes able to beat man-to-man coverage. Jonah Nightengale also scored two touchdowns, while Ardante DeDe Anderson added another. DeAndre Horton blocked a punt and recovered a fumble against Williston as well.

Series shifts to St. Louis PAGE 24 B4SUNDAY, OCTOBER27, 2013CITRUSCOUNTY(FL) CHRONICLECOLLEGEFOOTBALL No. 7 Miami survives No. 21 UCF rolls past UConn; USF cant hang with No. 18 Louisville Associated PressMiami squeaked by Wake Forest to remain undefeated and set up another marquee matchup in the Atlantic Coast Conference next week. The seventh-ranked Hurricanes needed a late touchdown to beat Wake Forest 24-21 at home Saturday, and will head to Tallahassee next week to face No. 3 Florida State. The Hurricanes and Seminoles once regularly played huge games, but since Miami joined the ACC in 2004, only once have the rivals played with both teams ranked in the Top 10. The Hurricanes came from behind for the second straight week to stay unbeaten. Last week, Miami rallied to beat North Carolina. This time it was Wake Forest giving the Hurricanes all they could handle. Florida State is just a week removed from playing a top-five matchup against ACC rival Clemson. Keeping the Hurricanes undefeated also will help the Seminoles in the BCS standings as they jockey with Oregon for the second spot behind Alabama.No. 7 Miami 24, Wake Forest 21MIAMI GARDENS Duke Johnson ran for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, the second a 1-yard plunge with 53 seconds left, as No. 7 Miami rallied twice to beat Wake Forest. Johnson finished with 168 yards on 30 carries for the Hurricanes (70, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), Tanner Prices 44-yard touchdown pass to Dominique Gibson with 4:02 remaining put Wake Forest on top, but the Hurricanes went 73 yards on their next 10 plays, with Johnson scoring to keep Miami unbeaten heading into next weeks showdown at No. 3 Florida State. Wake Forest (4-4, 2-3) fell to 1-53 against Top 10 teams the lone win coming exactly 67 years ago Saturday. The Demon Deacons trailed for less than 3 minutes against the Hurricanes, and still dropped their fifth straight in the series.No. 18 Louisville 34, South Florida 3TAMPA Teddy Bridgewater threw for 344 yards and three touchdowns and Louisville rebounded from its first loss of the season. Charles Gaines returned a fourthquarter interception 70 yards for a TD as the Cardinals defense reverted to the form that helped Louisville (7-1, 3-1 American Athletic Conference) climb into the top 10 before blowing a 21-point, secondhalf lead at home during a 38-35 loss to Central Florida. Bridgewater completed 25 of 29 passes with no interceptions, hiking his totals for the season to 23 TDs with two picks. In three career games against USF (2-5, 2-1), the junior from Miami has gone 65 of 82 for 841 yards, eight touchdowns and no interceptions. USF failed to score an offensive touchdown for the third straight game, all in conference play. The Bulls used three quarterbacks and were outgained 485 yards to 133.No. 21 UCF 62, Connecticut 17ORLANDO Blake Bortles threw for four touchdowns and ran for another as No. 21 UCF routed winless Connecticut. Bortles completed his first eight passes of the game and ended his day early in the third quarter, connecting on 20 of 24 for 286 yards. The junior ran for a TD as the Knights (6-1, 3-0 American Athletic Conference) scored on their first nine possessions of the game. They remain the favorite to claim the leagues BCS berth. UConns offense was anemic throughout and helped dig its own hole early, thanks to two first-half interceptions by freshman quarterback Tim Boyle. A Huskies fumble in the second-half set up another UCF score. The Huskies (0-7, 0-3) have lost eight straight games dating to last season.No. 1 Alabama 45, Tennessee 10TUSCALOOSA, Ala. T.J. Yeldon scored on three 1-yard runs and AJ McCarron passed for 275 yards and two touchdowns to help No. 1 Alabama continue to roll along with a 45-10 victory over Tennessee. Landon Collins returned an interception 89 yards for another score for the Crimson Tide (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference), which raced to a 35-0 halftime lead. Alabama has outscored its last six opponents 246-26. The Volunteers (4-4, 1-3) dropped their seventh straight in the rivalry game, tying the most consecutive wins for either team. Coach Butch Jones turned to freshman quarterback Josh Dobbs in the second half in his first college action, replacing Justin Worley. Worley was 8-of-15 passing for 120 yards and was intercepted twice. McCarron completed 19 of 27 passes. Kenyan Drake ran for 89 yards on 14 carries while Yeldon gained 72 yards. Kevin Norwood caught six passes for 112 yards.No. 9 Clemson 40, Maryland 27COLLEGE PARK, Md. Tajh Boyd threw for a touchdown and ran for a score, Sammy Watkins had a school-record 14 catches for 163 yards and No. 9 Clemson wore down injury-riddled Maryland 40-27. Boyd went 28 for 41 for 304 yards with an interception and Roderick McDowell rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns to help the Tigers (71, 5-1 ACC) rebound from last weeks 51-14 defeat against Florida State. Clemson ran 98 plays compared to 70 for Maryland (5-3, 1-3) and finished with a 551-364 advantage in total yardage. But the Tigers needed four field goals from Chandler Catanzaro to take a 19-13 lead into the fourth quarter. After that, however, Marylands defense finally caved.No. 14 Texas A&M 56, Vanderbilt 24COLLEGE STATION, Texas Johnny Manziel threw for 305 yards and four touchdowns in less than three quarters, and Texas A&M bounced back from a loss last week. Manziel showed no signs that the right shoulder he injured last week was bothering him. He threw three TDs in the first quarter to help A&M (6-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) build a 28-point lead. He tacked on another score before sitting down with 6 minutes left in the third quarter and the Aggies leading 42-17. The Aggies rebounded from last weeks upset loss to Auburn despite playing a messy game where they had five turnovers. Freshman Patton Robinette had a tough time in his first start filling in for the injured Austyn CartaSamuels for Vanderbilt (4-4, 1-4). He threw two interceptions one was returned for a score and was sacked five times.Duke 13, No. 16 Virginia Tech 10BLACKSBURG, Va. Anthony Boone ran for a touchdown, Ross Martin kicked two long field goals and Duke ended a long history of losing to ranked teams with a 13-10 victory against No. 16 Virginia Tech. The Blue Devils (6-2, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat a ranked team for the first time since they stopped No. 13 Virginia in 1994, and beat one on the road for the first time since Stanford in 1971. And they did it without a third-down conversion all game, and a 2-to-1 time of possession deficit. Virginia Tech (6-2, 3-1) had its sixgame winning streak end as Logan Thomas threw four interceptions, the last on a deflected pass in the closing minutes that allowed Duke to finally run out the clock. The Hokies held the ball for 39:27 and outgained Duke 387-198, but still lost.No. 19 Oklahoma St. 58, Iowa State 27AMES, Iowa Desmond Roland ran for a career-high 219 yards and four touchdowns and Oklahoma State won its third straight. Quarterback Clint Chelf had 163 total yards in his second start of the season for the Cowboys (6-1, 3-1 Big 12), who ran for a season-high 342 yards. Oklahoma State scored 14 points in a 2 1/2-minute stretch late in the third quarter to extend its lead to 4520. Roland ran 58 yards for his third touchdown of the day, and Tyler Johnson took a fumble 54 yards for a TD with 4:17 left in the third. Sam Richardson had 95 yards passing and a touchdown for Iowa State (1-6, 0-4) before leaving the game late in the first half after an apparent blow to the head.No. 23 N. Illinois 59, E. Michigan 20DE KALB, Ill. Jordan Lynch threw four touchdown passes and caught another as No. 23 Northern Illinois reached its best start as a major program with a 59-20 victory over Eastern Michigan. The Huskies (8-0, 4-0 Mid-American Conference) never trailed on the way to a season-high in points and second-highest total offense (658 yards). The Eagles (1-7, 0-4) lost their seventh straight. Lynch, the nations No. 7 rusher entering Saturday, also ran for a touchdown while rushing 18 times for 99 yards. He was 16-of-20 passing for 223 yards while tying a career high with four TD passes in less than three quarters. Tommylee Lewis had eight catches for 107 yards and a touchdown. DaRon Brown caught three passes for 28 yards and two scores.Minnesota 34, No. 25 Nebraska 23MINNEAPOLIS Philip Nelson rushed for two touchdowns and passed for another, guiding Minnesota to its first win against the Cornhuskers since 1960. Nelson made all of his seven completions count, totaling 152 yards, and carried the ball eight times for 55 yards. He spun across the goal line from the 1 with 48 seconds left to seal the victory for the Gophers (6-2, 2-2 Big Ten), who became bowlgame eligible and stopped a 16game losing streak to the Huskers. Taylor Martinez returned from a turf-toe injury that kept him of the last three games for the Huskers (5-2, 2-1), but he had only 16 yards rushing on eight attempts and 139 yards on 16-for-30 passing, plus one touchdown and one interception. Associated PressMiamis Antonio Crawford celebrates after breaking up a pass for Wake Forests Michael Campanaro (3) during the second half Saturday in Miami Gardens. The No. 7 Hurricanes scored twice in the fourth quarter to rally for a 24-21 victory over the Demon Deacons.

Dawson, SNF21-219-124448 Zuerlein, STL15-1511-114848 NFL StatsCENTRAL Detroit hosts Dallas in prime NFC clash Associated PressNow Jason Campbell, No. 20 in the starting quarterbacks parade in Cleveland, gets his chance. His first mission: trying to beat the undefeated Chiefs. In Kansas City. Hardly an enviable task for the nine-year veteran and 2005 first-round pick of the Redskins who has bounced around the NFL. The Browns are his fourth team, and he is their third starter this season, after Brandon Weeden and now-injured Brian Hoyer. Its an opportunity to go out there and just get back to the game and just having fun, Campbell said. Obviously, we want to go win games and do the best we can. But at the same time we understand were a growing football team and our goal and mission every week is to go out and win games. The one thing we cant forget is just to get back to having fun. The Chiefs (7-0) havent made it fun for any opponents this season. Theyre the only remaining perfect team because their defense is opportunistic, sack-crazy and, well, so darn good. Clevelands defense is pretty staunch as well, and has sacks from 13 players, tied for the most in the league. But its nine takeaways are 10 fewer than Kansas Citys, and the Chiefs have two of the NFLs leading sackmasters in linebackers Justin Houston (10) and Tamba Hali (nine). You go in every week respecting every opponent, linebacker Derrick Johnson said, but at the same time, we dont really care who plays as long as we execute our defensive scheme. The last time Campbell started, he was with the Bears and they lost 32-7 to the 49ers last season. That doesnt bode well for Cleveland (3-4). Elsewhere today, its Washington at Denver, Dallas at Detroit, the New York Jets at Cincinnati, Miami at New England, Buffalo at New Orleans, Pittsburgh at Oakland, Green Bay at Minnesota, Atlanta at Arizona, the New York Giants at Philadelphia and San Francisco against Jacksonville at London in the second international game of the season. Monday night, its Seattle at St. Louis. Off this week are Baltimore (3-4), Chicago (4-3), Houston (2-5), Indianapolis (5-2), San Diego (4-3) and Tennessee (3-4).Panthers 31, Buccaneers 13In Tampa, Cam Newton threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead Carolina over winless Tampa Bay. The Panthers (4-3) won for the fourth time in five games following an 0-2 start. Theyve won three straight, with Newton throwing for 667 yards, six TDs and no interceptions. The Bucs (0-7), one of two NFL teams yet to win, have dropped the first seven games in a season for the seventh time in franchise history. Theyve lost 12 of 13 dating to last season, and some fans showed up at Raymond James Stadium carrying signs and wearing paper bags over their heads urging that secondyear coach Greg Schiano be fired. Washington (2-4) at Denver (6-1) Redskins coach Mike Shanahan returns to Denver, where he led the Broncos to 146 wins and two Super Bowl titles in his 14 seasons in charge. The Broncos are planning a short video tribute for Shanahan, who said he expects a warm reception: I dont think I did anything wrong to get booed. I didnt leave. They fired me. Denver comes off its first defeat in Peyton Mannings emotional return to Indianapolis, and he missed some practice time this week with a sore ankle. Neither defense has done much this season, so a shootout seems likely. Dallas (4-3) at Detroit (4-3) Two more pretty good offenses, and the Cowboys showed plenty of defense in shutting down Philadelphia last week. Whether that lasts could decide the winner at Ford Field. Lions QB Matthew Stafford is a Dallas guy and would like nothing more than a second straight win over his hometown team. Stafford said his family members have become Lions fans, but not all of his friends have done so. They want me to have a really good game and lose it in the end, he said. New York Jets (4-3) at Cincinnati (5-2) Two teams that have used special teams for some special wins. Three of New Yorks victories have come off the foot of Nick Folk, whos hit all 16 field goal attempts thus far. The last two Bengals wins were clinched by former Jets kicker Mike Nugent, including a 54-yarder to win at Detroit last Sunday. The Jets have won four in a row and nine of the past 10 against Cincinnati. The last matchup at Paul Brown Stadium was a Jets playoff win in 2009. Miami (3-3) at New England (5-2) Miami won its first three games, but has slumped badly since, with the biggest problem an inability to protect QB Ryan Tannehill. Hes been sacked an absurd 26 times, and the Patriots have the Jones Gang defensive linemen Chandler and Chris Jones who can get after the quarterback. So can Miamis Cameron Wake, and New Englands inconsistency on offense has been a season-long story. Still, the Patriots have won six straight against the Dolphins. Buffalo (3-4) at New Orleans (5-1) Well rested after a bye, the Saints look to put behind them their only loss a painful, last-second defeat at Foxborough and secure the NFC South they pretty much are running away with. And heres something scary: Three Saints players had their first career TDs at New England, RBs Khiry Robinson and Travaris Cadet, and WR Kenny Stills. So New Orleans is finding more offensive threats? One of Buffalos main offensive threats, running back C.J. Spiller, is hobbled. Pittsburgh (2-4) at Oakland (2-4) Just Win, Baby vs. The Steel Curtain. Oh, for those days. As their records show, neither team has a vintage Raiders or Steelers squad. Indeed, Oakland hasnt been a playoff factor since it lost in the Super Bowl after the 2002 season. But there are signs of life on both sides. The Raiders have a decent running game, play the run well defensively, and have a promising if raw quarterback in Terrelle Pryor. They have lost the past 10 games coming out of the bye, however, getting outscored 271-139. The Steelers have won their past two games and their defense has come alive, forcing their first two turnovers. But their offense is next-to-last in red zone TDs with six in 16 trips. Green Bay (4-2) at Minnesota (1-5) The QB carousel spins in Minnesota Christian Ponder, who seemed to have one foot out the door, now will have both feet behind center with Josh Freeman showing concussion symptoms. No such worries at the position for the Packers as Aaron Rodgers makes do with a shrinking cast of wideouts, and turns them into stars. Jarrett Boykin could be next as he comes off a career-high eightcatch, 103-yard, one-TD game. Adrian Peterson is struggling because Minnesotas line cant open holes and there is little passing attack. But he tends to dominate the Packers and had 409 yards rushing in two meetings in 2012. Seattle (6-1) at St. Louis (3-4), Monday night With Sam Bradford gone for the season with a wrecked knee, journeyman Kellen Clemens gets the call at quarterback for the Rams. Sounds similar to Clevelands situation this week. Seattles rugged defense is primed, having not played since Oct. 17, and its 19 takeaways are tied for the league lead with KC. Marshawn Lynch keys an aggressive running game and is second in the NFL in rushing with 578 yards. Atlanta (2-4) at Arizona (3-4) The Falcons snapped a three-game slide last week, but they are bangedup, especially on offense. Yet Matt Ryan was the NFCs top performer in the win over Tampa Bay, and WR Harry Douglas emerged with seven catches for a career-best 149 yards with Julio Jones and Roddy White absent. If Arizona WR Larry Fitzgerald catches four passes Sunday, he will be the youngest player with 800 career receptions at 30 years, 57 days. Fitzgerald has caught a TD pass against every NFC team except Atlanta. New York Giants (1-6) at Philadelphia (3-4) The Giants got off the schneid on Monday night against the woeful Vikings, but dont mistake that for a turnaround. They remain injury-depleted, especially in the backfield, and lost center David Baas for the season from an underachieving line. If that line can give Eli Manning some time, he can clean up his act he was not intercepted in the victory, the first time he didnt throw a pick all season. As Nick Foles recovers from a concussion, the Eagles were faced with using either Michael Vick, coming off a hamstring injury sustained in a win over New York, or rookie Matt Barkley at quarterback. Regardless, look for running back LeSean McCoy to get the ball often. San Francisco (5-2) vs. Jacksonville (0-7) at London Another game with little intrigue for the Londoners to ponder. At least theres a team with a victory on hand, unlike last month when Minnesota and Pittsburgh played at Wembley. The 49ers won in Nashville, then flew to England rather than head back to California. Staying on the road has worked well for them before, and they werent facing anyone as weak as the Jaguars back then.

LOUIS The teams with the best records in each league used to meet in the World Series every year. Now its a rarity. Boston and St. Louis are the first since 1999, when the New York Yankees swept Atlanta. You definitely have to be hot and play good baseball, maybe for a little bit longer, Boston pitcher Jake Peavy said before his Game 3 start Saturday night. From 1903 through 1968, the top teams had to meet in the World Series. There were no playoffs. Then the AL voted in May 1968 to split into divisions the following year when the Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots joined to create a 12-club league. While the NL was adding the Montreal Expos and San Diego Padres, it initially refused to start a playoff. It would be a contradiction of baseball history and tradition to divide the league and then see a team that finished fourth or fifth in percentage playing in the World Series, NL President Warren Giles said at the time. Two months later, the NL gave in when owners met again in Houston after the All-Star game at the Astrodome. The two division winners would meet in a league championship series, initially best-of-five and then expanded to best-of-seven starting in 1985. In the 25 years of a four-team postseason, the World Series featured the top teams in each league just nine times. Then in September 1993, a year after Bud Selig became acting commissioner, owners voted to split each league into three divisions the following year and add another round of playoffs, a best-of-five division series. The postseason would double to eight teams. The vote was 27-1, with Texas Rangers owner George W. Bush the future president the lone dissenter. I made my arguments and went down in flames, Bush said. History will prove me right. After a one-year delay caused by the 7 1/2-month players strike, the expanded playoffs began in 1995, when teams played a 144-game schedule because of the walkout. The top teams met that October, with Atlanta defeating Cleveland in six games. It didnt happen again until 1999. And after that until this year, the second after the playoffs expanded to 10 teams with the addition of a second wild card in each league. Thats another manifestation of how tough it is, Selig said this week. Selig defends his system, pointing out fewer teams make the MLB playoffs than in the other major leagues (12 of 32 in the NFL, 16 of 30 in the NBA and NHL). Some refer to the postseason as tournament baseball. Playing well at the right time is more important that excellence and consistency over the long haul. The 2001 Seattle Mariners were the biggest casualty. They went 116-46 during the regular season for a .716 winning percentage, the best in the major leagues since the 1954 Indians went 116-46 (.721). Seattle lost the ALCS to the Yankees in five games. Doesnt matter if you won 85 to get in the playoffs or 185 to get in the playoffs. Its how you finish, said Aaron Sele, the loser in New Yorks clincher. With the advent of the one-game, winner-take-all wild-card playoff, winning divisions has taken on more urgency. For more than a decade, the main difference between division winner and wild card was home-field advantage. But now that the postseason is a monthlong event, the hurdles to get a ring are many. Just reaching the World Series is a major accomplishment, maybe more so than it was from 1903-68. Getting here and whats it taken to get here with a great team and a great group of guys, you see just how hard it is to win the World Series, Peavy said. You really understand the preparation, the will of not just a few guys, not just a handful of guys it has to be an organizational philosophy that youre going to win the World Series. Its got to be a team and a group of guys that just refuse to quit and all put their efforts together as a team to be on top.

The San Francisco 49ers will play the Jacksonville Jaguars today at Wembley Stadium in London. Associated PressLONDON NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the NFLs overseas success doesnt mean the Super Bowl is crossing the Atlantic or that the league is going back to continental Europe. Goodell said the expansion from two to three NFL regular season games starting next season has the league exploring how to continue growing its International Series brand. More games could come to London, which will need a franchise before it can even dream of hosting the Super Bowl. And that is some time away. We dont have a timetable for (a London franchise). We want to continue building interest, and if it continues to go well we believe a franchise could be here. The Super Bowl wont be played anywhere where we dont have a franchise, Goodell said. Right now, our focus is on the U.K. since the European fans can get here. We want to build on our success here, and whether it leads to a permanent franchise or not, then we can see. What happens here will dictate that. The NFL created a European league in the 1990s that had teams based in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain, before it folded in 2007. Goodell said demand from NFL teams to play in London was more than it could handle, and that a game could be held in Sunday prime-time hours next year. Monday and Thursday night games in London have been ruled out, as has holding preseason games or the Pro Bowl overseas. Goodell applauded the Jacksonville Jaguars for embracing the International Series, with the Florida-based team signed up to play four regular season home games at Wembley Stadium over four years. The first is today against the San Francisco 49ers. Jacksonville is an interesting experiment. I think fans there see that its good for their community, that its putting Jacksonville on a global stage, Goodell said while addressing some Jaguars fans complaints about losing one home game over these four seasons. Whenever there is going to be change, there is going to be resistance to change. Goodell met with a selection of NFL fans alongside 49ers great Joe Montana and former Jaguars offensive lineman Tony Boselli on Saturday. The enthusiasm of overseas NFL fans was palpable inside the Grand Ballroom of the Landmark Hotel, with a scattering of NFL team jerseys in the audience. NFLs Goodell cautious about success in London PAGE 27 Dumb as a box of rocks? Suddenly, the Citrus County Commission has become the laughingstock of local governments in the state of Florida. While the self-mutilation of the five-member board might make for humorous high drama on the courthouse square, the damage to the countys reputation is real. This will cost taxpayers money and it will result in lost opportunities for the county. For the truth is, no one wants to do business with a fool. Newly elected commissioner Scott Adams has been the instigator of the turmoil and he apparently has no idea how to turn it off. His key goal appears to be to make his fellow commissioners, and the county staff, look bad. Some degree of turmoil is good for government. Those in elected positions should always be forced to justify their decisions and answer questions from the public. But Commissioner Adams has taken the turmoil to a new level of absurdity. Adams is suffering from two recent thumps to the head by state investigative agencies that proclaimed his charges of official corruption were unfounded. In one case before the state ethics commission, the county is now responsible for paying the $8,476 in legal fees that Commissioner Rebecca Bays incurred fighting the charges levied by Adams. When faced with the $8,476 waste of the taxpayers money at a meeting on Tuesday, Adams became unglued. He blamed everyone but himself and then accused his fellow board members of either being dumb as a box of rocks or being corrupt. Thats not much of a choice. He got into a hateful personal exchange with outgoing County Attorney Richard Wesch and suggested that Lee County Weschs new employer was going to be sorry it hired him. The key corruption allegation evolves around the county landfill. When the independent state attorney investigated the corruption allegation, it found that none existed. Adams responded by blasting the state attorneys office and claiming it was part of the big conspiracy.

Hopeful people see the world through a lens that sees endless possibilities and opportunities. They radiate positive energy and excitement. Theyre overjoyed, the world is their oyster, they are giddy! I love being around people who are hopeful! Today, I was with two very hopeful people. Jessica and Ashley are two Citrus County women who have been participating in the United Way Learn to Earn program. I first met them in January at Withlacoochee Technical Institute as GED students. Through a special grant from the Black Diamond foundation, United Way was able to provide Jessica and Ashley with the resources they needed to earn their high school equivalency diploma. We broke down barriers for them to be able to get to school and stay in school. In May, we joyfully watched them walk across the Curtis Peterson Auditorium stage to receive their diplomas, dressed in green caps and gowns, with smiles so big they shined like beacons. That night we awarded them with scholarships to attend a postsecondary program at WTI to become patient care assistants. Today, we celebrated with them again as they received certificates and pins that tell the world that they are qualified and ready to dutifully care for patients in our community. The hopefulness in their eyes was contagious. Their futures are bright! I had the opportunity to speak with them after the ceremony. Jessica is the mother of 7-year-old twins and she was moved to tears when she spoke about the future and what it holds for her sweet family. She loves to tell about their tremendous academic success and how proud she is of them. Jessica is considering attending a program at CF to further her medical career.

Their insistent demand the city accept the countys new MSBU fire protection program for the collection of nonad valorem fire protection assessments, they stated, was on a take-it-or-leave-it basis, or as they let it be known: If you dont join, we are taking our fire trucks and apparatus and leaving town, which certainly didnt sit very well with those in attendance. Now, lets be realistic. We all pay the fire service tax already, and this fire MSBU is on top of that. You can give it all of the fancy names that you want, but it is in reality a major additional tax on the citizens, and both the small and large businesses within the city limits. Yes, the proposed $54 tax on homeowners isnt an enormous amount of money, unless you are struggling financially, which a lot of people in the city are, but the fire tax on the office or retail building owners can be staggering, who in one form or another will have to pass this extra cost on to their renters. This will then either increase their cost of doing business, or lower whatever profits they may make, and may very well put some of those small businesses out of business, which you can easily see we already have in many of our empty shopping centers. Lets face it, small businesses are the lifeblood of this community, but if you make the cost of doing business so great and onerous, the businesses who are just squeaking by will go out of business. Does that benefit anyone? We want the community to prosper, otherwise there will be no real reason to come to this beautiful downtown area, because it will have become a ghost town, and all of the hard work and money expended by the city to upgrade, enhance, and revive the city will be for naught. A disturbing caveat that was pointed out at the meeting by the city attorney is if the city opts into this fire tax program, the county, in concert with the sheriff, can increase the fire millage rate that is charged anytime they want and the city cant do a thing about it. So the city of Inverness government and city council members and all of its citizens have a major decision to make: Do we want to open up our citys checkbook, which holds all of our hardearned tax dollars, andgive the county a blank check to pay for our fire protection (whichwe are paying for already), or do we want to go it alone, and do it ourselves? As a longtime business owner in downtown Inverness, I for one would love to see that happen. Now is the time for the city manager, the city council members and everyone involved to take a long, hard, realistic look at what makes sense. Its going to take a lot of hard work, and smart thinking and planning, with maybe even a few fervent prayers thrown in for good measure, but it can be done.Winston C. Perry Homosassa After 16 wasted days and billions of dollars in economic damage, the Republicans finally folded their tattered circus tent and voted to re-open our government last week. Moderates in the party lamented that the ending was predictable, the political wreckage immeasurable and absolutely nothing was gained by the shutdown. National polls showed approval ratings for Congress ranging from only 8 percent to 10 percent. From Oct. 4 to 6, Public Policy Polling surveyed 502 registered voters, Democrats, Republicans and independents. Disgust and revulsion prevailed across the board. Toenail fungus, hemorrhoids, cockroaches and dog poop all scored higher in popularity than Congress. Miley Cyrus, Honey Boo Boo and Vladimir Putin scored lower. Undeterred by their dismal standing with the public, 18 senators and 144 House members all Republicans still voted against ending the shutdown and raising the debt ceiling to prevent a catastrophic default. The losing contingent included Sen. Marco Rubio, who has cemented his status as a prancing lapdog for the tea party crazies. He is cleverly positioning himself to fill the intellectual void left by Michelle Bachmann, whos retiring from the House. GOP strategists would be wise to dissect the poll results that gave such a decisive edge to common toenail-fungus, also known as onychomycosis. According to Public Policys website, 44 percent of respondents had a more favorable view of the unsightly infection than of Congress, 41 percent said Congress wasnt as awful and 15 percent were undecided. Voters older than 65 favored toenail fungus by a solid margin of 45 to 39 percent, while voters 18 to 29 were evenly split, so to speak. Interestingly, those 30 to 45 years old had a higher opinion of Congress than of onychomycosis. Possibly this is because theyre just reaching the age when foot hygiene seems more important. The same poll showed that 53 percent of those surveyed held hemorrhoids in higher esteem than Congress, although there was a partisan gap. Democrats and independents overwhelmingly said Congress was worse than hemorrhoids, while GOP voters gave Congress a slight edge. (It should be noted that respondents werent asked if theyd had any personal experience with either rectal disorders or Ted Cruz.) On a somewhat positive note, Congress fared slightly better in the poll when compared with cockroaches, although the hardy insects were still more popular by a 44-42 percent spread. By contrast, generic dog doo beat out the politicians by a whopping 47 to 40 percent. About 13 percent of those polled were undecided, which probably means theyre cat owners. Despite such rancid numbers, a cluster of Toe Fungus Republicans in the Florida delegation voted to continue the government shutdown and initiate a national default. Youll want to hang on to this list, in case any of these geniuses ever decide to run for statewide office: Jeff Miller, a real-estate agent in Chumuckla; Steve Southerland from Panama City; Ron DeSantis from Ponte Vedra Beach; Dennis Ross, a Lakeland lawyer; and Ted Yoho, a Gainesville large-animal veterinarian and tea party tool whos been in Washington 10 whole months. Then theres John Mica from Winter Park; Bill Posey, an antiObama birther from Rockledge; Tom Rooney, from Tequesta; Richard Nugent, a former sheriff of Hernando County; and Trey Radel, an ex-TV reporter and improv comedian from Fort Myers. At least Radel admits to being a comedian. The others have no excuse. Here, as is true around the country, many of the Toe Fungus Republicans hail from conservative, skillfully gerrymandered districts, and they have little risk of losing their seats in next years midterm elections. The biggest casualty of the shutdown is the national GOP its hopes for recapturing the White House poleaxed once again by the partys radical right wing. Already a few tea party action groups have threatened retribution against Republican lawmakers who put the country first and voted to stop the madness. If GOP leaders are looking for a bright side to the Public Policy survey, heres one: Congress scored much higher with people than Anthony Weiner, the former Democratic representative from New York, failed mayoral candidate and serial sexter. Also, the Ebola virus is still more unpopular than members of Congress. So is Lindsey Lohan, Charlie Manson and heroin. So theyve got that going for them.Carl Hiaasen is a columnist for the Miami Herald. Readers may write to him at: 1 Herald Plaza, Miami, Fla., 33132.

The next step is deciding whether the hospital should be sold or leased to HCA. If you havent paid attention to the many hospital-related meetings lately, well sum it up for you: The board members led, of course, by their always-present attorneys now are locked in a new tug-of-war. One board wants to sell, one wants to lease. The boards each contributed two members to a joint committee charged with studying the advantages and disadvantages of each option, and make a recommendation back to their boards for a decision. This gang of four has set meetings for every Monday through the end of November. Another month of this? Really? If the boards had been listening, they would have gotten the message already: This community wants the hospital sold ASAP so HCA can focus quickly on making badly-needed investments in facilities and staff, restoring stability to the CMH family, and becoming a valued community member. Hospital employees say it in public meetings. Physicians and medical group representatives say it in public meetings. Citizens say it in public meetings. Audiences applaud when this option is recommended. In the Chroniclesrecent online poll, 78 percent of respondents favored a sale. Its clear: No one wants the people responsible for this ongoing turmoil to have anything more to do with Citrus Memorial The current fuss presents no surprise: its still about power and money. A lease would keep the Citrus County Hospital Board intact as the hospital systems landlord. And regardless of the transaction type, the looming issues now surround who will control the proceeds and how those monies will be handled. One positive note is that opinion seems to be coalescing around the ideas of placing the proceeds into a trust, with no spending for at least a year, and forming an independent community board to oversee the disposition of funds. At the most recent Board of County Commissioners meeting, current chair Joe Meek was designated as the BOCCs representative to the transaction process. In our view, the county commission should be part of this process. Commissioners are, unlike members of either hospitalrelated board, elected by and accountable to county residents. Commissioners also agreed to have the county attorneys office look into the BOCCs options and possible role in connection with the hospital transaction. It just makes sense to get an independent opinion rather than relying for guidance on attorneys for the combatants. One of those attorneys sees himself as the spinmeister and ringmaster; the other has failed to clearly or convincingly lay out the facts for his board members or the public. Whats the bottom line? The boards need to make a decision together, and soon. The deciding factor must be whats in the best interest of the entire community, not individuals with special interests. They owe it to the community to preserve and protect our health resources. Board members must promote repair and rebuilding from the damage their feuding has caused, and do it now, while we have a willing bidder ready to take on the job.

Mitchell Street wasnt really a street at all: It was a dead-end, 200-yard-long lime rock-covered lane on the outskirts of town that intersected with State Road 41. There were houses on both sides, and this tiny settlement was completely surrounded by orange groves. Nowadays, we will go back to Dade City from time to time, but when we do, we usually go into town from north to south on U.S. 301, not from west to east on State Road 41. A family health circumstance has caused us to go there on several occasions during the past couple of weeks, and, based on the location of the hospital, we have chosen the west-to-east route using State Road 41. In doing so, we couldnt help noticing the sign for Mitchell Street. It brought back memories, very pleasant memories. On one recent afternoon, we chose to drive down Mitchell Street and check it out. It is still just as it was 47 years ago, a lime rock-covered dead-end lane. There are still houses on both sides and the entire area is still surrounded by orange groves. Quaint. Lovely. It was the same as it was when Cheryl and I were there as little more than a girl and a boy spreading our wings and beginning to fly as a married couple. I was pleased to see that the entire neighborhood seems to be well-maintained and that the house at No .909 is in very good shape. I really couldnt tell for sure whether the original dwelling had been refurbished and remodeled or whether someone had simply replaced it in its entirety. We stopped to take a closer look, and ultimately, I concluded that the original structure remains, but it has been quite handsomely brought into the 21st century. Our minds can play tricks on us, and while looking at the house, just for a moment, I thought I could smell freshly baked blueberry muffins. Then I remembered. Back during our first year together, each Thursday evening, I attended banking-related classes. When I would finally arrive home at 10 oclock or so, Id open the door and the aroma of freshly baked blueberry muffins would waft its way to my nose while my eyes would find Cheryl. Our grocery budget was limited, but she was consistently able to find the dime it cost for a box of muffin mix and she would have this special treat, along with a glass of milk either fresh or reconstituted powdered milk waiting for me when I came in. 909 Mitchell St. and blueberry muffins. Life doesnt get any better.Fred Brannen is an Inverness resident and a Chronicle columnist. 909 Mitchell St. and blueberry muffins Fred BrannenA SLICE OF LIFE Ashley is a young woman with endless opportunities in front of her. She eventually wants to return to school to become an EMT. The two have obviously become close friends. They are proud of each other and proud of themselves. The hopeful qualities of todays events are immeasurable. But the quantitative effects are both measurable and impressive. In January, without a high school education, these two young women were on target to earn approximately $13,000 each, annually. The pay scale for a PCA ranges between $10 to $14 per hour, meaning they could potentially earn $30,000 a year! Plus more when you consider shift differential, overtime, etc. Collectively, these positive futures could have a $34,000 annual impact on Citrus County. Its encouraging to know that by investing donor dollars into programs that truly address the root cause of social need, we can see real, lasting change. When we invest in people who are willing and committed to improving their own lives, the results are simply awesome. Jessica and Ashley were both so appreciative of the support they received from United Way, but as I quickly reminded them, it was their willingness to improve and their dedication that really made it all happen. Right now, our United Way is uniting community agencies like the Early Learning Coalition, We Care Food Pantry, CASA, the Boys & Girls Clubs, Catholic Charities and several others to layer up their services to radically impact the lives of those in our community who are willing to change their lives. We know that adults who commit to going back to school face financial barriers. By bringing together all of our efforts, we can make a bigger difference. Adult students who are confident that their children are in a safe, positive learning environment and are assured that there will be plenty of food at home; are better able to concentrate at school. Our collective efforts will strengthen our collective results. Our community needs to rally behind people like Jessica and Ashley, people who have big dreams and the drive to achieve them. Your commitment to United Way is a part of reaching better days in Citrus County. Because of the generosity of our donors, we are more hopeful today than yesterday. Hopefulness is a long way from hopelessness. Hopefulness sounds a lot better, dont you agree?Amy Meek is CEO of United Way of Citrus County. It cant be lost on taxpayers that Adams is part owner of his own private landfill in Sumter County and just recently wooed away the business of the city of Inverness. That action will cost the taxpayers of the county. Why is it that so much of Adams time is spent complaining about the county landfill? Can the commissioner not see the obvious conflict of interest that exists? Again, in truth, Adams is probably correct that the county landfill in Lecanto can be run more efficiently. But his credibility gets nailed by independent voters who question his long-term intent. Is he trying to improve the county landfills operations, or close it down so the trash can be moved to his private business? Its OK that a private business wooed away the business of Inverness, but is it OK for a county commissioner to be part of the mix? If this was Commissioner Dennis Damato complaining about construction quality and trying to win business for his private company or commissioner Rebecca Bays complaining about insurance costs and claiming her private business could do a better job, the regular county critics would be howling with outrage. The ethics commission complaint filed by Adams against Bays documents how the commissioner is just trying to make others look bad as opposed to dealing with the problem. Adams actually voted to appoint Mike Bays, his fellow commissioners husband, to the countrys enterprise board. Adams asked Wesch if the appointment was OK and the lawyer gave him the thumbs-up. Two weeks later Adams said he went to an ethics class for new commissioners and learned the appointment was not OK. Instead of returning to the commission and Wesch to inform them of his discovery, Adams immediately went to the state ethics commission to file an official complaint. He could have resolved the problem by pointing staff to the information he learned. Instead, he played a fun game of gotcha and tried to get Commissioner Bays in trouble. The ethics commission rejected the charges because Mike Bays stepped down and never attended a single meeting. The charade cost Commissioner Bays $8,400, and by law the county is liable to pay the bill. Taxpayers should not be fooled by this stuff. While its fun to hate politicians at all levels of government, its not fun to see our county turned inside out. Staff morale is in the basement. Key leaders (like Wesch) are seeking jobs in other locations because they dont want to deal with the nonsense. And people who might want to do business here are not going to be impressed by this level of official foolishness. Commissioner Adams is fond of reminding everyone that he is very wealthy and a terrific businessperson, and that he wouldnt accept such poor performance from his employees. The commissioner needs to listen to his own words. His combative behavior and constant criticism of everyone around him should not be tolerated in private business or any level of government. There is plenty of value to some of the insights that Scott Adams could lend to county government. But his techniques are destructive to process and the people who try to operate within it.

They met with Tokyo Electric Power Co. officials this week to discuss how to prepare for a typhoon that could dump heavy rain on Fukushima. And Nuclear Regulation Authority Chairman Shinichi Tanaka has scheduled a Monday meeting with Tokyo Electrics president to seek solutions to what he says appear to be fundamental problems. Human error is mostly to blame, as workers deal with a seemingly unending stream of crises. Tanaka said earlier this month the repeated silly mistakes are a sign of declining morale and sense of responsibility. The operator, known as TEPCO, acknowledged a systemic problem in a recent report: Workers under tight deadlines tend to cut corners, making mistakes more likely; at times, they dont fully understand their assignment or procedures. The utility has been losing experienced workers as they reach their radiation exposure limits, and hundreds of others are quitting jobs seen as underpaid given the difficulty and health risks. Regulators have urged the plant to have enough supervisors to oversee the workers on site; TEPCO says it has added staff and is ensuring proper field-management. Some of this years mishaps:Oct. 20 to 21: Heavy rains wash contaminated storm water over protective barriers around storage tanks at six locations before workers finish setting up additional pumps and hoses to remove the water.Oct. 9: Six workers remove the wrong pipe, dousing themselves with highly radioactive water. TEPCO says exposure for the workers, who were wearing facemasks with filters, hazmat suits and raingear, is negligible. An estimated 7 tons of water almost overflows the barrier around it.Oct. 7: A worker mistakenly presses a stop button during a power switchboard check, stalling a pump and cooling-water supply to the Unit 1 reactor for a split second. A monitoring device for Units 1 and 2 and a building ventilator also fail briefly until backup power kicks in.Oct. 2: Workers overfill a storage tank for radioactive water, spilling about 110 gallons. The workers were trying to maximize capacity amid the plants water storage crunch. Most of the spill is believed to have reached the sea via a nearby ditch.Oct. 1: About five tons of contaminated rainwater overflows when workers pump it into the wrong tank, most of it seeping into the ground.Sept. 27: A piece of rubber lining mistakenly left inside a water treatment unit clogs it up, causing it to fail hours after it resumed a test-run following repairs. The fragment is removed, and the unit returned to testing.Sept. 19: A firefighting water pipe is damaged during debris removal, and 80 gallons of non-radioactive water spurt out. The same day, TEPCO provides Prime Minister Shinzo Abe with a hazmat suit for a plant visit with the wrong Japanese character for his family name on the nametag. Spotting the mistake halfway through the tour, an apparently displeased Abe peels the sticker off.Sept. 12: A water treatment machine overflows, leaking about 18 gallons of contaminated water, when a worker doing unrelated work nearby inadvertently shuts a valve.Aug. 19: A patrolling worker finds a massive pool of contaminated water spilling out of a protective barrier around a storage tank. TEPCO later concludes an estimated 300 tons escaped unnoticed over several weeks.April 4: A worker pushes the wrong button on a touch panel, temporarily stopping one of three water treatment units during a pre-operation test. Humans arent always to blame. A rat sneaked into an outdoor power switchboard on March 18, causing a short circuit and blackout lasting 30 hours in some areas. Four nuclear fuel storage pools lost cooling, but power was restored before a meltdown. A few weeks later, workers caused another short-circuit while installing anti-rat nets, leaving one of the fuel storage pools without cooling for several hours. NUCLEARContinued from Page C1 WINDOWContinued from Page C1 HOPEContinued from Page C1 Ways to help clean the waterOn Thursday, Oct. 24, the KBAM (Kings Bay Adaptive Management) group had a great end-of-the-year project moving the final crop of hyacinths and water lettuce from the stormwater pen on Cutler Spur by the post office to the KBAM Corral in the lagoon between Parker Island and the USFWS Refuge on Kings Bay Drive. The weather was great, and so were the volunteers who had a great time, albeit was tough work. All said they would be back next time. The KBAM project is helping to slowly prove these floating aquatic plants will shade the cloudy waters underneath them, clouded with algae, and at the same time ingest the nutrients in the waters that the algae feeds on, including Lyngbya, enabling the water column to clear. One Rake at a Time is doing a fab job removing the algae, but it cant be stopped from coming back until the nutrient level is lowered, and these floating plants should do that. The nutrients come from excess lawn and plant and farming fertilizers and improperly maintained septic tanks. Did you know that hyacinths and water lettuce are used in some sewer plant ponds to remove the nutrients from the waste waters before the water is released? There is documentation from China and other countries that these aquatic plants, when released to ponds and lakes that are green with algae bloom pollution can clear the water in weeks. The plants have to be removed or they would die, releasing everything they took up back into the waters to turn green again. We have Mother Natures removal system here. Either the plants float down the river to the Gulf where they eventually die, or they get eaten by the manatees. To the rumor folks, a manatees digestive system is extremely long and by the time they evacuate whats left there are very few nutrients, so no redepositing. There are nutrients in the bottom substrate of our waters too, referred to by some as muck. But if this substrate is roughly disturbed releasing a lot of nutrients, we could see here what happened in the Indian River Lagoon, an algae bloom turning the waters green, killing the fishes and the vegetation and in Indian River, more than 100 manatees and they still dont know how. So for next year, come and help the KBAM project and learn about it and help us do it. And walk gently and play lightly on the bottoms of the Bay so you dont release the nutrients from the substrate until we have something floating around there to eat em up. To me, science is simple: Use the tools Mother Nature has furnished and we will have clear waters so the native plants have the sunshine to grow. Keep your boats slow so you dont prop-dredge the plants emerging from the bottom. The seeds and plants are down there. They just need the sunshine and a little tender concern and care to grow again. Use native plants in your yard that take little water, and conserve water every chance you get. Our spring flows in Kings Bay are down some 30 precent. Its like a firefighter trying to put out a fire with 30 percent less water. At full flow the springs of Kings Bay can flush a lot of the nutrients out of here. And send a thanks to the KBAM volunteers, The One Rake at a Time volunteers and all the folks who care enough to conserve water so we will always have water to drink, and our beautiful, full-flowing springs.Helen Spivey Crystal RiverVolunteer to help veteransWe need to understand the meaning of governance. Whether it be at the local level or the state level or the national level, it is important to understand the reason why some issues move slowly. At the local level those ordinances affect all of us personally, at the state level they have significant impact when they affect us on a county level, and when it is nationally, as with our Congress, they take small steps to make sure they dont make catastrophic mistakes that will affect all of us, at least that is what they have tried to do in the past. It has come to my attention that Congress is afraid to make decisions. Those members have shut down the government to try to make the point that they are afraid to pay for all the laws they have passed, and yet, they, the Congressmen, are still being paid. There is something terribly wrong with what is happening with our governing in Washington. I dont need to tell you about all the public employees that are getting IOUs to continue to work, nor do I need to tell you about the lack of the Veterans benefits to families that have lost their loved ones to war and the benefits to help bury them. I plan to volunteer my services to the Veterans Clinic here in Hernando to help veterans receive their benefits. I did it for my 89-year-old dad in Massachusetts, a DAV veteran, and I plan to help anyone who needs help here in Hernando. As I find this situation intolerable for our local veterans seeking assistance, I invite all of you that read this letter to the editor, to help our fellow veterans, and volunteer to help them as well. We here in Citrus County have always told our representatives in Washington what is important to us, and our families. We have the largest percentage of veterans in any county in the state and it is important for our representatives in Congress to represent us and all the other veterans in the country. Please join the effort. Im sure we can help our veterans here at home and maybe elsewhere in the state.Suzan Franks Hernando OPINIONS INVITED The opinions expressed in Chronicle editorials are the opinions of the newspapers editorial board.Viewpoints depicted in political cartoons, columns or letters do not necessarily represent the opinion of the editorial board.

Or, fax to 352563-3280, or email to letters@chronicleonline.com Letters toTHE EDITOR PAGE 30 Do the hokey pokeyI sincerely wonder if anybody else has thought about the fact that when you see these pictures of our county commissioners in the paper, regardless of what the activity is, they are all lined up in their favorite rotation, almost like a bunch of robots. Is there any reason that they cant move around?Keep sale proceeds from commissionersThis call concerns the proposed sale of the hospital in Inverness. I would normally favor the sale for cash. However, there is no way that I trust the county commissioners with the proceeds from this sale. They have shown time and time again, they are tax-and-spend Democrats pretending to be Republicans in order to be elected or stay in office. An exception I would make would be to put the funds in an untouchable trust account with only the interest or dividends available for county use. I would also exclude the school board use of any of the funds from the sale.Were being drainedInteresting article on water use permits (Oct. 12). In the article, it lists many things to obtain an application for water withdrawal. Well, in the past year, Swiftmud has approved all of these permits for withdrawal and they are clearly in violation of A, B, C, D and probably E. Everybody knows the aquifer is being drawn down, theres less fresh water coming out of the springs, the rivers are becoming salt and were going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg, all in the name of greed and nobody has the courage to stand up and say enoughs enough. Detecting the textingAs of Oct. 1 in the state of Florida, its illegal to be texting and driving. Whos the person that came up with this great rule? You have to get stopped by something else and then the officer says you were texting too. I say, No, I was dialing a number, its totally different.God bless that womanI would like to thank the woman who found my purse in the Walmart shopping cart. My heart almost stopped when I realized what I had done after I left. I went back and some woman had turned it in. I am grateful and realize there are more honest people than not and God bless the woman who turned it in.The dope on the DollarAnybody out there tell me why the Family Dollar in Beverly Hills is not open yet? Stop tailgating There needs to be something done about these rude, inconsiderate people tailgating. I dont care if its the people that give out the drivers licenses, or the police need to comment about something, or the car manufacturers need to develop something. I mean this is wrong. Somebodys going to get hurt real bad. I mean its Saturday 11 oclock in the morning and theyre tailgating. You got bikers going the speed limit and you still got some car just a couple car lengths behind him going 60 mph.Ever the shillsI wonder if the Chronicle has the audacity to really start reporting whats going on. You always report the stuff thats coming from Beverly Hills when, in all actuality, its less than a football field from Terra Vista or Citrus Hills or where the high influential people with a better income of the people who live in Beverly Hills live. But you always want to put in the paper its Beverly Hills. The actual address, why dont you say where its from? Its from Terra Vista. Its right across the street. We could put a football field and youre in Terra Vista from Gus Golden Gym instead of always painting Beverly Hills the bad place it is.County organizational chart, pleaseIn todays newspaper (Oct. 13), I was reading the editorial section and Roger Krieger wrote a wonderful letter on how the county administrators constantly reorganizing. I think it would be very helpful to both his assistants and the commissioners if the newspaper would publish an organizational chart of just how this county runs under Brad (Thorpe) and I think it would clear up a bunch of issues and everybody would either feel much better about the county administration or understand that there are serious problems. Halloween canceledWell, happy Halloween, little kiddies. Just wanted to inform you there will be no trick-ortreating on our street in Sugarmill Woods. With all the break-ins and all the coyotes, its far too dangerous. Maybe well have better luck next year.Gift card scamJust want to report this of what happened to me today about five minutes ago. I received a card through the mail in my name and my address and everything, telling me that I have received $100 in gift savings which is good at Walmart or Target. They gave me a number to call. I called. They asked me for my age. I gave them the wrong age. I said I was 50 and then they wanted the date of my birth and thats when I asked them, Why do you need the date? They didnt answer me; they just hung up. So all I know is, this is a fraud. I just thought Id let you know. Maybe you can put it in the newspaper.

I tried paying the minimum amounts that were due, but without being able to work, I got way behind. I planned to go bankrupt, but it hasnt been sitting well with me. My husband passed away a few months ago, and I got a very small insurance payment. After the funeral and other expenses, I now have about $9,000 left. All the credit card companies want to make offers of smaller amounts to settle. I own my house outright. I really dont want to go bankrupt. Do you think there is any way to get a loan from a bank or a line of credit using the house, and paying the settlement amounts of the credit cards? Will a bank refuse to go for that with my credit score being in bad shape? P .R., via email DEAR P.R.: I certainly sympathize with your situation. Generally speaking, thats what bankruptcy is all about. Unhappily, you waited a little bit too long. Had you filed for bankruptcy while your husband was still alive, and before there was an insurance settlement, there is little question that the bankruptcy See MONEY/ Page D3 BUSINESSSection DSUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2013 CITRUSCOUNTYCHRONICLE BUSINESS BRIEFS Bruce WilliamsSMART MONEY From wire reports MONDA YWASHINGTON Federal Reserve releases industrial production for September, 9:15 a.m. Eastern; National Association of Realtors releases pending home sales index for September, 10 a.m. W EDNES DA YWASHINGTON ADP employment survey for October, 8:15 a.m.; Labor Department releases Consumer Price Index for September; and Federal Reserve policymakers meet to set interest rates.

Paul Ryan and top Senate Democrat Harry Reid can agree: There wont be a grand bargain on the budget. Instead, the Wisconsin Republican and the Nevada Democrat both say the best Washington can do in this bitterly partisan era of divided government is a small-ball bargain that tries to take the edge off of automatic budget cuts known as sequestration. Official Capitol Hill negotiations start next week, but Ryan and Reid both weighed in Thursday to tamp down any expectations that the talks might forge a large-scale agreement where several previous high-level talks have failed. Long-standing, entrenched differences over taxes make a large-scale budget pact virtually impossible, according to lawmakers, their aides and observers who will be monitoring the talks. Republicans say they simply wont agree to any further taxes atop the 10year, $600 billion-plus tax increase on upper-income earners that President Barack Obama and Democrats muscled through Congress in January. Without higher taxes, Democrats say they wont yield to cuts in benefit programs like Medicare. If we focus on some big, grand bargain then were going to focus on our differences, and both sides are going to require that the other side compromises some core principle and then well get nothing done, Ryan, who chairs the House Budget Committee, Oil hovers above $97 after recent losses NEW YORK The price of oil hovered above $97 a barrel Friday, consolidating mild gains after two weeks of losses sparked by high supplies and patchy global economic growth. By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark U.S. crude for December delivery was up 30 cents at $97.41 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract, which rose 25 cents to $97.11 on Thursday, is down nearly 5 percent over the past two weeks. Brent crude, a benchmark for international crude also used by U.S. refineries, was down 8 cents at $106.91 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London. Markets OK despite big slide in Nikkei LONDON Financial markets outside of Japan were lackluster Friday at the end of a week thats seen the S&P 500 and Germanys DAX post record highs and the dollar fall to near two-year lows against the euro. In Tokyo, the benchmark Nikkei index slid 2.8 percent to 14,088.19 as the dollar fell below its 200-day average of 97.30 yen. In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was flat at 6,714, little affected by news that the British economy grew at a quarterly rate of 0.8 percent in the third quarter. Elsewhere in Europe, Germanys DAX was 0.1 percent lower at 8,975, having earlier risen to an all-time high of 9,010.65, which was the first time it has ever breached the 9,000 mark. The CAC-40 in France was 0.4 percent lower at 4,261. ome say the money should provide research to develop preventative measures and treatments for cancer. Others say the money should be used for patients in need who cannot afford even a drive to the doctor. We fall in both categories, said Robyn Liska, executive director of the American Cancer Society chapter in Tampa. Eighty percent of money raised through Relays for Life is spent either on research or goes back into the community for programs to aid cancer patients in need, she said. Those programs include resource rooms, which provide supplies, such as wigs and soft bras and are staffed by volunteers. The American Cancer Society has a resource room at Citrus Memorial hospital. Another program is called Road to Recovery, where volunteers drive patients to doctor visits or for treatment. One of the biggest concerns is how do we get patients from point A to point B? Liska said. The Road to Recovery provides thousands of trips. The American Cancer Society is also provides free lodging for patients and caregivers who qualify at its Hope Lodges; the two used by Citrus residents are in Gainesville and Tampa. In 2012 we housed over 40 Citrus County patients and caregivers in a Hope Lodge, Liska said. The Hope Lodges have housed about 29 Citrus County patients and caregivers so far this year. Mike Wright Staff writer Every year the springtime Relays for Life attract people who want to support their friends and loved ones who are cancer victims. The relays bring teams of volunteers, often associated with businesses or community organizations, which raise money through pledges to participate in the 18-hour walk. Thousands of dollars are raised for the American Cancer Society. And where does the money go? Did you know? Death rates from breast cancer have dropped 34 percent since 1990.In January 2012, about 2.9 million women in the U.S. had a history of breast cancer. The American Cancer Society funds $86 million for 220 research projects. The projects include:Establishing new treatments to counteract triple negative breast cancers that do not respond to chemotherapy.Evaluating whether genetic factors are associated with breast cancer risks.Exploring new treatments involving immune system cells.In-house, surveillance-based research on populations of breast-cancer patients is used to monitor trends and statistics.Studies to determine factors that lead to a good quality of life after diagnosis of breast cancer. 2014 Citrus County Relays for Life:April 4 for Inverness/Lecanto at Citrus High SchoolApril 25 for Dunnellon/Crystal River at Crystal River High School Credit card bills pile up when sick See FUNDS/ Page D3 See BUDGET/ Page D3 PAGE 32 SUNDAY, OCTOBER27, 2013Chamber Connection 28 N.W.

Dragon Boat Festival set for Nov. 16 PAGE 33 BUSINESSCITRUSCOUNTY(FL) CHRONICLESUNDAY, OCTOBER27, 2013 D3 Traditionally Citrus County has had three Relays for Life at each of the countys public high schools. In 2014, the events are being consolidated somewhat. Inverness and Lecanto will share one relay at Citrus High School, and Dunnellon will share a relay with Crystal River at Crystal River High School. Both relays are in April. In 2011 the Citrus County relays raised $207,000. While final figures werent available, the 2012 relay raised an estimated $168,000, she said. Liska said fund-raising amounts fluctuate, but she hopes that consolidating three relays into two in 2014 will reduce the cancer societys costs while increasing donations and interest. Liska said the cancer society stands firm in its hope of easing the impact cancer has on patients and caregivers. Thats why we stay focused on helping the most people with the most focused services, she said. We aim at reaching the most and saving lives, which is our ultimate goal. would have been approved. The fact that you have $9,000 left after settling the funeral and other expenses could present some problems. Regardless of the source of the funds, the strong likelihood is that the courts would want you to settle at least most of that money before bankruptcy was allowed. I understand you are reluctant to go bankrupt, and since the credit card companies are willing to make a deal, see what kind of offer you can get, maybe 10 percent to 15 percent on the dollar. It may very well be that you could settle the bills with the $9,000 and not have to consider bankruptcy. You didnt indicate how much debt you are in. In the event that the amount is substantially over the $9,000, you should really consider consulting a bankruptcy attorney, but the reality is you are going to give up most of the $9,000. DEAR BRUCE: You have said that one can get a 6 percent to 8 percent return on an investment. I would like to know how to do that since I have read and been told by a financial adviser that one can only rely on a 4 percent return for retirement. What strategy do you suggest to get your yield? M.B., via email DEAR M.B.: I have said consistently that I believe it is not unreasonable to expect a 6 percent to 8 percent annual income on my investments. I have been achieving that for many, many years. Not every year. I had losing years, as well. But over the long haul, the average has been 7 percent and in many years considerably higher. There is no secret, but its necessary to take a certain degree of risk. Overall, the stock market has consistently given me those types of returns by investing in conservative, dividend-paying companies. There are going to be years when all of the conservative investments in the world are not going help. In the years 2008 to 2011, there were a lot of companies that lost value and others that failed to increase. But you will notice that if you kept all of your investments that went in the toilet during the 2008-2009 period, in most cases you will have recovered your investment with a substantial profit. The question is, are you prepared to take a certain degree of risk? If your instructions to your adviser are that you are absolutely risk-adverse, then even 4 percent is a difficult number to achieve. In my view, conservative, strong American companies are here and will remain here. Properly invested, the type of return I suggested is not unreasonable. DEAR BRUCE: Our daughter went to school to be a veterinarian assistant. Her student loan rate was 3 percent. Three years later, her student loans increased to 6.5 percent and 7 percent. She now pays $200 per month, interest only, because its all she can afford. She says that she cannot even think about marriage and starting a family when she is in debt. She owes about $35,000. She is very frustrated, and so are we in watching her struggle. When the government took over these loans, the rate doubled. Is this how we take care of our young people and encourage schooling to get ahead? The only encouraging thing we have heard is that after 30 years, her unpaid balance would be forgiven. By that time, she will have paid $72,000. N.B., via email DEAR N.B.: I can understand and sympathize with your daughters situation. I have no notion as to how much money she had to borrow, as opposed how much she wished to borrow rather than work, when she was in school, but the fact remains that she now owes about $35,000. That she cant even think about marriage is distressing, however I dont necessarily agree. As to the family, that is a different matter. Were she to get an extra job, over and above her regular job, at $5,000 a year, she could unload her debt in five years or so. With her skills, this shouldnt be a difficult thing to find. There are many veterinary practices that work on weekends and pay substantial wages to folks who are willing to put in those weekend hours. She also might be able to find a lower interest rate. I am no expert in that regard, but I can certainly suggest that she talk to the finance people at her school. They may be able to help her. Lets face it, she got herself in this situation because she wanted to better herself and she has a $35,000 investment in herself. You didnt indicate how much she earns, but as a young person, if she puts in six or seven days a week, she should be able to dispose of that loan in a reasonable amount of time. The fact that many kids are doing it is testimony that it can be done. DEAR BRUCE: I have a pipe dream and would like your opinion on the idea. We own our own home, worth about $450,000. We have an IRA with $50,000, savings of $60,000 and $150,000 in the stock market. Our income is $55,000 a year. As you are well aware, the stock market is not all that stable. I am wondering if we should sell our stocks and purchase a vacation home near one of our sons. One lives in Sacramento, Calif., and one in Sparks, Nev. We would probably use the vacation property on several long weekends. Our visits now are only on weekends, and we stay at their homes. I am 87 years old and my wife is 85. We have no debt other than utilities and living expenses. R.R., via email DEAR R.R.: You say you have a pipe dream? I dont find it a pipe dream. If you want to buy a vacation home, I have no problem with that. But I dont think its the wisest thing to do from a financial point of view. You say stocks are not all that stable. I consistently point out that if you invest in conservative, dividend-paying companies, then the stock market can be one of the best places to have your investments grow. That being observed, at your respective ages of 87 and 85, purchasing a vacation home doesnt seem to be the best choice. On the other side of that, there is no reason in the world why, in either the Sacramento or Sparks areas, you couldnt find an attractive and useful vacation property to rent. You wouldnt have the responsibility of upkeep, and as a practical matter, how many years are you going to be able to go out and vacation? I think you should start the vacation immediately, but I would consider leasing a home rather than purchasing one. Send questions to bruce@bruce williams.com.

FUNDSContinued from Page D1 MONEYContinued from Page D1 said in an interview Thursday. So we arent focusing on a grand bargain because I dont think in this divided government youll get one. In an interview Thursday with Nevada public radio station KNPR, Reid, the Senate majority leader, agreed that a large-scale grand bargain wasnt in the cards. They have their mind set on doing nothing, nothing more on revenue, and until they get off that kick, theres not going to be a grand bargain, Reid said. Were just going to have to do something to work our way through sequestration. Ryan, his partys vice presidential nominee a year ago, and Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., are two of the key congressional figures in the talks. They both say theyre seeking common ground between the sharply different Republican and Democratic budgets. Common ground, however, is a much different concept than compromise. It involves finding ideas upon which they can agree rather than compromising principles such as Republican opposition to tax increases or the unwillingness by many Democrats to consider cutting future Social Security benefits by decreasing the annual cost-of-living adjustments. Instead of a broad agreement encompassing tax hikes and structural curbs on the growth of benefit programs like Medicare and Medicaid, Ryan says hes seeking a smaller, more achievable objective. The talks, he said, also will focus on alleviating another upcoming round of automatic spending cuts and replacing them with longer-term cuts. Sequestration mostly hits so-called discretionary spending, the money approved by Congress each year to run agency operations. Ryan wants to cut autopilot-like spending on entitlement programs like Medicare to ease sequestrations effects on both the Pentagon and domestic programs. I think we all agree that theres a smarter way to cut spending than sequestration, Ryan said. If I can reform entitlement programs where the savings compound annually ... that is more valuable for reducing the debt than a one-time spending cut in discretionary spending. The White House and Democrats are pressing to include new revenue from closing tax loopholes and infrastructure spending to boost the economy. Even if we do not have the big grand bargain, if you were to have a medium deal or small deal, those deals could have permanent loophole closures and permanent mandatory savings that would help our permanent long-term fiscal situation, senior White House official Gene Sperling told a business group Friday. The automatic spending cuts are required because a 2011 deficit-reduction supercommittee failed to reach an agreement. The cuts would carve $91 billion from the day-to-day budgets of the Pentagon and domestic agencies in 2014 compared with the spending caps set by a 2011 budget deal. The Pentagon would absorb almost 60 percent of the cuts. Republicans are looking at a bushel basket of cuts to Medicare health care providers contained in Obamas budget. They also have voiced support for curbing Social Security costof-living adjustments, an idea Obama has backed, but only in the context of a broader deal in which Republicans would allow tax increases. That proposal wont fly in the current talks. There are also several supercommittee ideas like curbing Postal Service cost overruns, making federal workers contribute more to their pensions and raising premiums on higher-income Medicare beneficiaries. Democrats, meanwhile, are wary of using cuts to Medicare and other entitlement programs to ease cuts in the defense budget. Negotiators still might explore curbing generous military retirement, health care and prescription drug benefits as a way to restore cuts to readiness and procurement of weapons systems. Congressional Democrats and the White House, rightly in my view, dont want to use domestic entitlement cuts to offset easing or eliminating the defense side of sequestration on top of the nondefense discretionary side, said Robert Greenstein, president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Pipeline Marketing Group is a full-service sales and marketing firm specializing in private clubs and lifestyle brands. Based in Los Angeles, Calif., Pipeline has worked with several prestigious brands including The Riviera Country Club (Pacific Palisades, Calif.), Pebble Beach Resorts (Monterey, Calif.), The Crosby National (Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.) and Ibis Golf and Country Club (West Palm Beach, Fla). Pipeline Marketing Group was brought in to ensure that Black Diamond was taking a professional, educated approach to communicating the clubs overall image to prospective members. Pipeline has years of experience working with clubs like Black Diamond specifically to increase member levels. Pipeline Marketing Group has recruited former Black Diamond Director of Membership, Kerry Rosselet, to once again spearhead the membership marketing efforts on behalf of the club. Ms. Rosselet previously served as firector of membership at Black Diamond from August 2008 to February 2013, and has returned as the primary onsite resource for Pipeline. As we contemplate our membership marketing strategy, we must consider how to best leverage not only the clubs physical attributes, but also the incredible sense of pride, community and belonging that our members have created here at Black Diamond Ranch, said Doug Egly, general manager of Black Diamond Ranch. In order to generate additional awareness and ultimately recruit new members to the club, we must be able to clearly define and communicate our message to prospective members, and Pipeline is an integral part of this strategy. Convenient to both Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg and Orlando, Black Diamond Ranch is quietly situated in the Nature Coast of Florida. An exclusive residential community when built out will feature approximately 795 homes with many outstanding select home sites to choose from. New Homes are being constructed daily and a small offering of previously constructed homes are available to preview. Black Diamond has been rated the No. 1 Golf Community in Florida by both Golfweek and Florida Golf Magazine. The 45 holes of private Tom Fazio-designed golf include the breathtaking Quarry Course which is consistently ranked among the best courses in the United States and is registered on many golfers bucket lists. We are thrilled to be involved with such an amazing private club community, commented Shannon Herschbach, principal at Pipeline Marketing Group. Black Diamond is extremely dedicated to delivering a superior member experience and is eager to find more effective ways to communicate what they are all about world class golf in an exclusive, nature coast community. We are very excited to help develop and implement a marketing strategy that will clearly communicate the Black Diamond story to prospective members.

From staff reports PAGE 46 Associated PressSeveral flats of potted, walk-on plants are laid out alongside the flagstones of a pathway in Langley, Wash. The plants are divided into several pieces before being placed in the ground, where they grow quickly into a single, weed-choking mat that adds color and contrast to the stones. Many walkable plants are drought-resistant, while others perform well in shade, on hard-to-maintain slopes, covering bulb gardens, spilling from containers or protecting high-use areas. A sampling:For areas with moderate to heavy foot traffic: Corsican sandwort has moss-like foliage with white flowers in spring. Does well in damp, dry or shaded settings. Celestial spice pratia has tiny green leaves covered by deep blue flowers all summer.For fragrance: Corsican mint, the smallest of the mint family. It delivers a pleasant crme-de-menthe fragrance when crushed. It also does well in shade. Creeping thyme is a fast-growing groundcover that gives off a spicy scent. Most thyme varieties are droughttolerant and can survive moderate traffic. Their flowers are attractive to butterflies.As a lawn substitute: Alpine moss ear grows into a dense carpet with white flowers in summer. It thrives in dry climates. Blue star creeper is a dark green perennial producing soft blue flowers through summer. Turkey tangle fogfruit has gray leaves with white to lavender blooms from spring to fall, and is deer-resistant. Creeping mazus, with its low mat of green leaves studded by small lavender flowers, tolerates hot, humid summers. Getting walkables established is half the fun. The other half can be had with pruning. Corsican mint, if you let it go, will grow out and cover the flagstones as well as the weeds, Gurnee said. I like to be a little creative. I use a pair of scissors and trim it back in some sort of design so the stones arent covered. That way you can see the tones and textures of the stones up against the plant colors. an item, and as a dealer we subscribe for access to this data. Its most satisfying when a match is found and one realizes how rare or special a piece is. Very often though, the opposite is true. Its worth what someone is willing to pay for it is said often, but its true. Before the Internet, small antique shops relied on personal experience from the shop, shows, other dealers or books to establish value. Publications, while a wonderful resource, are typically high in their pricing. Shops or shows allowed for the personal interaction and exchange of knowledge and of course, dollars for fair and consistent pricing. This hands-on experience and knowledge is hard to beat. People buy to add to a collection, or they could be buying a memory. You may not always find your treasure in a local antiques shop, but the thrill of the hunt is what drives us.What are the c |
