ISAAC BABCOCK u, i: f',-- STAFF Winter Park has just lost it's police chief and deputy chief, and Maitland gained a new chief on the same day. But the two departments' game of musical chairs may be more than it seems, as both cities scramble to tighten up finances in a. sag- ging economy. Despite the sudden shock of losing three high-ranking officers with nearly a centu- ry of experience at their lo- cal departments, the wheels were turning on the change months ago. It started when Winter Park City Manager Randy Knight came to the Police Department with a proposal. He needed to slash costs, and he had an offer he hoped no one would refuse. "It was kind of a citywide offer to get the people in the top of the pay range out and save some tax dollars," Knight said. "We wanted to cut a captain position and a lieutenant position in the budget." With Winter Park's police department in talks to or- ganize into the local Team- sters Union, belts needed to be tightened even more. But Robert Ladoczky, a law enforcement organizer with the Teamsters, said that unionizing has nothing to do with personnel in the higher ranks of the depart- ment. Only officers below the rank of sergeant voted to organize with the union, > turn to POLICE on page A2 ALLISON J. ARTEAGA .:.-.* REPORTER ean Vasicek seems to know almost every- thing about bees. She knows the terrify- ing sound that the beating of thousands of tiny wings can make, and she knows that her bees get cranky when the citrus trees aren't in bloom. And she knows that honey bees like hers are facing serious prob- lems on a national scale. Since acquiring her first hive from her brother about 10 years ago, Vasicek has accumulated more than 100 hives through- out the Orlando area, and has become the official beekeeper for Winter Park Honey. But the situation has changed since she first started, and for Vasicek, it's been for the worse. "Back then you could take care of bees and hardly touch them," she said. "Now it has gotten very hard to keep bees alive." Lately, honey bees have been the victims of a host of fungal, parasitic and bacterial illnesses as well as a mysterious new dis- ease that could be the new plague for farmers. Called Colony Collapse Disorder, the rapidly spreading ill- ness has attracted the at- tention of scientists such as Dr. Jamie Ellis, a researcher and assistant professor of entomology at the Univer- sity of Florida. Ellis said that Colony Collapse Disorder, which began to cause alarm in 2006, has been attacking and destroying entire bee colonies. Though not yet fully understood, the ef- fects have become pain- fully obvious to apiaries. Suddenly worker bees die off and disappear, and the colony dies with them. "The issue with Colo- ny Collapse Disorder is that we don't know what causes it," Ellis said. "There are probably 10 or 15 lead- > turn to BEES on page A3 actually worse than what I'd said. It's very alarming to us." Capital reserve funds are frequently used to pay for recovery during unfore- seen circumstances such as hurricanes. But an audit of Winter Park's finances has shown that money is much lower than recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association. It rec- ommends a reserve of 8.33 to 16.67 percent of total yearly city expenditures. As of October, the city's reserves were at $2.7 mil- lion 6.73 percent large- ly the result of expenditures endured several years be- fore when the city bought out developers of the Carl- isle building in downtown Winter Park, as well as the purchase and upgrading of the electric utility and pub- lic works compound. According to City Manag- er Randy Knight, the 2004 hurricanes caused more than $18 million in dam- age to the city, which the city was able to pay out of its own pocket, though $17 million of that money was later reimbursed. But some problems still remain, despite many of the city's reserve hemorrhages being one-time costs. The electric utility was recently found to be more than $11 > turn to FUNDS on page A4 ISAAC BABCOCK !- .- STAFF Some bad numbers are drawing attention in Winter Park after an audit showed the city's reserve funds dan- gerously low in the event of a disaster. To new Mayor Ken Brad- ley, the news didn't come as a surprise. "That's something I talk- ed about during the mayor- al campaign," he said. "It's Membei -LZ-Z= Police chief musical chairs Winter Park audit raises red flags News POLICE 1 Recently retired Winter Park chief immediately hired in Maitland < continued from the front page Ladoczky said. "Nobody above that rank wanted to be part of the union." Knight's plan to have a captain and a lieutenant step down backfired. Every- one refused, he said.. "I first offered an early buyout to the captains and lieutenants and didn't get any takers," Knight said. "But about a week later Chief [Doug] Ball and Dep- uty Chief [William] McEach- nie said if you offer us that, we'll take it." Ball had been in the de- partment for 34 years, with McEachnie long regarded as his right-hand man, with 36 years on the force. City offi- cials and Ladoczky called it a retirement, though Knight agrees that their depar- ture from the department helped directly empty the two positions he'd hoped to eliminate. The retirement packages for the two were substantial, including $109,000 as an early retirement bonus for Ball, plus a $100,000 yearly pension and a $290,000 lump sum. McEachnie was paid $86,000 to leave early, plus $89,000 annual pen- sion and $190,000 lump sum. Knight said that the city will be promoting from within, giving two longtime officers the chance to move up to the city's top two po- sitions. Once all the shuf- fling is over inside the de- apartment, the two positions Knight originally wanted eliminated will quietly dis- appear. What Knight didn't plan for was the immediate change of plans for the re- cently retired Chief Ball. The day he retired, he signed up to be Maitland's top cop.

"No matter what situa- tion you are in life, you can always make that change for the better," she said. "There's an opportunity for everyone." Zuniga is one of the many women whose lives have been enhanced by Pearls for Women, a nonprofit organi- zation designed to educate, connect, inspire and put women in touch with the resources they need to en- hance their lives, business- es, careers and community connections. Lanette Jarvis, CEO and founding partner of Pearls for Women, said, "Our mis- sion is to help teach women how to help each other and how to ask for help... wheth- er it's getting connected to a potential new employer or finding the best day care for her new child." Zuniga found herself in need of support after she was laid off from work, and a friend suggested she at- tend a "University of You" workshop held by the Pearls for Women organization. The "University of You" is a series of workshops that features a team of experts certified in areas that teach attendees how to recreate themselves through net- working, finding their pas- sion and enhancing their work skills.

But it is not the bracelet Zuniga is most grateful for. It's the support she received from the organization that has encouraged her to find her path in life. "I'm finding my niche," she said. "There's so much opportunity in this world right now and I feel like this whole economic thing is helping people realize their reset button in life." Jarvis began to find her own niche after she was also laid off from her job of 28 years. With the help of De- nise Brown and Eva Krze- winski, Pearls for Women became a reality in 2008. Krzewinski said Pearls for Women first began after six years of power lunches the women organized every month. "We decided to take it to the next level and really focus on women helping women and that's how we started Pearls for Women," Krzewinski said. Since they have been meeting, she said, they have helped thousands of wom- en. Deborah Kreiger has at- tended the "University of You" workshops and said they have re-energized her in many ways. "I appreciate the whole premise of Pearls for Wom- en," she said. "Any time I have the opportunity to go and network with these people ... I just know that I'll cone in contact with so many great women." Zuniga also said the workshops have motivat- ed her to find what really makes her happy in life; she is currently being trained by Harbor House to work with women in need. "Now I know for sure nonprofit and helping women is where my heart is," she said. It is through the Pearls for Women. organization that Zuniga has been able to better herself and make the most out of these hard economic times. "Our dream is to cre- ate a movement of every- one helping everyone get through this bad economic time," Jarvis said. "Whether it's doing more business, or getting a job, or keeping your job." BEES I Bee deaths could kill off food sources < continued from the front page ing hypotheses, and the current strongest hypothesis is that it's really a combination of factors." According to Ellis, bees from an infected colony exhibit a unique variety of symp- toms, including those often associated with bacterial, fungal or parasitic diseases, and this has led researchers to believe that CCD is likely to be the effect of a combination of these diseases than a new disease. In an effort to keep their bees alive, bee- keepers have had to use different chemical treatments for each symptom that their bees exhibit. Gut fungus is combated with fungicides, bacterial infections with anti- biotics and mite infections, a particularly dangerous problem, with pesticides, Ellis said. Vasicek's beekeeping strategy is a bit dif- ferent, and potentially more risky, relying on natural preventative measures instead of chemicals. "Everybody tells me that it won't work; that all my bees are going to die, but so far I haven't seen that," Vasicek said. "So far I have fairly strong hives." All of this buzz about unhealthy bees has caused concern not only among local bee- keepers, such as Vasicek, but also among those whose crops are dependent on bees for pollination. "It's a concern for the entire horticultural industry of the state," said Dr. Tom Spreen, professor and former department chair of the Food and Resource Econonmics Depart- ment at the University of Florida. A honey bee die-off would mean lower agricultural and nursery yields through- out Florida, a problem that, according to Spreen, could cause serious damage to Florida's multibillion dollar horticultural industry. Entomologist Ellis said that honey bees play a huge role in producing most of the crops we need for food, including the fruits, vegetables and grains that we eat, and the grasses that are fed to livestock. Some estimates say honey bees are re- sponsible for one-third of the world's food supply, and therefore, Ellis predicts that if They continue losing bees at the current rates, there will be an immediate effect on U.S. food supply and prices. Vasicek knows that honey bee diseas- es are rather grim news, but she says that many people do not fully understand the significance of bees and what a decline in honey bees could mean. "People don't realize the benefit that the local beekeeper has, and they doh't have a clue how important the bees are," she said. Vasicek hopes that researchers will be able to develop treatments for diseases such as CCD but, in the meantime, she continues to dedicate herself to doing everything she can to keep her bees happy, healthy and ready to pollinate.

FUNDS I Winter Park mayor says city reserve fund will grow in coming years < continued from the front page million in the red, raising another red flag and trigger- ing a rating of "overall unfa- vorable" by auditors. "Figuring out the power company is my biggest con- cern," Commissioner Phil Anderson said. "The bad news is we probably won't be lowering the rates for a while." But Bradley said that the city is already moving in the right direction toward righting its finances, despite past mistakes. "If you look at the issues that caused this ... like the Carlisle, if we hadn't made that outlay we'd be in a dif- ferent financial decision," Bradley said. "And with the utilities, there's been a lot of infrastructural improve- ments. We've had to invest more to get it right. Now the numbers for efficiency are moving in the right direc- tion." Knight said that the city is already planning for a strong recovery in reserves by the end of next year. At a meeting Saturday involv- ing Knight and three city commissioners, Knight pro- posed as much as a 30 per- cent reserve level, saying that the city is constantly working toward a healthy reserve level. "If you're below it, you budget toward it, and if you're above it, you can cut it down," he said. "Our pol- icy is to have 30-percent re- serves for our annual oper- ating cost." That high number isn't being planned for in the near term, Knight said, but a level of 10 percent could be attained by the end of 2010. Bradley said that the City Commission will discuss the reserve shortfall in the next two scheduled meetings, then they'll have a better plan for how to improve it. "I don't know what the right number is, but it's cer- tainly more than 6.73 per- cent," Bradley said. ~~i :if! \ 1 M89.9 OAND SA new deduction is available for 2008 and 2009 for I those who don't itemize their deductions.

If you need more time to file your 2008 income tax return, you can get an extension and no explanation is necessary. You may have a very good reason for wanting more time to file your 2008 individual income tax return. For instance, you might want to hold off funding a retirement plan such as a Keogh or SEP until you can save more money. Perhaps you're waiting for a tax form from a trust, a partnership, or an S cor- poration. Or maybe you've just been busy. It doesn't matter. Whatever the cause or motivation, you can usually put off filing for up to six months beyond April 15. That means you could have until October 15,.2009, to finalize your return assuming you follow the rules. Here's what you need to do: Estimate your total tax liability for 2008, subtract what you've already paid in withholding or estimated payments and remit most or all of the balance by April 15, and File an extension request form (generally Form 4868 for an individual return) by April 15. You can file the extension request form electronically, by phone, or by mailing it to the IRS. If you owe taxes, you can pay with an electronic funds transfer, your credit card, or a check. Requesting an extension for your personal return also gives you additional time to file a gift tax return for 2008. The gift tax return extension is automatically included. You don't even have to check a box. But if you owe gift tax (or genera- tion skipping transfer tax), or are requesting an extension only for a gift tax return, you'll need to use Form 8892. One more quirk: If you live and work outside the United States, you may qualify for an automatic two-month exten- sion of time to file without having to send in a form. Other rules apply for special circumstances (such as military ser- vice). For more information or filing assistance, please con- tact our office.

The Florida Film Festival, founded in 1992, once again showcased and celebrated the finest in American inde- pendent and foreign films. This year, the Florida Film Festival attracted some of the biggest stars from food and film, including Cat Cora, nationally renowned chef, who currently stars in Food Network's "Iron Chef." I had the pleasure of attend- ing a celebration of Chef Cora, including the sam- pling of many of her signa- ture dishes, expected to be offered in her new restau- rant, Kouzzina, opening at Disney's Boardwalk. In addition, this year's festival included a focus on "Forbidden Films," an ef- fort to bring back exciting and provocative films to the community to honor the legacy of great filmmaking. I attended the showing of "Fatal Attraction," a 1987 movie, and spent the eve- ning with Glenn Close. Her Maitland City Talk BY DOUGLAS T. KINSON FloMAYOR Florida Film Festival 2009 I films "Reversal of Fortune," "Air Force One" and "101 Dalmatians" show her ver- satility. She also won Golden Globes for her performance in "The Lion in Winter" and for her new critically ac- claimed FX drama series, "Damages." Another forbidden film many have forgotten, but had a dramatic impact in 1969, was "Midnight Cow- boy," starring Jon Voight. An OscarandEmmywinner,Jon Voight also was in Orlando for the showing of the film. Mr. Voight has created some of the most memorable roles in cinema, starring in such films as "Deliverance," "Ali," "Mission Impossible," "Coming Home," "National Treasure" and many others. He currently stars in one of the most popular shows for television, "24," one of my favorites. I was incredibly im- pressed with the scope and breadth of this year's Flori- da Film Festival. It provided me with a new outlook and perspective on food, film and arts that I did not have prior to this year's partici- Congratulations to the Tiedtke family, to sponsors Full Sail and WKMG Local 6, and to all the volunteers and contributors who worked so hard to make the Florida Film Festival part of the rea- son why Central Florida is considered to be a world- class community!

JOSEPH CHARLES RUBEL In the amazing region of Florida in which many of us live. once a year for the past 18 consecutive years, we've been royally treated to the Florida Film Festival. Based in Maitland but with screenings of movies held at the Regal theater in Winter Park Village, the show comes and goes in 10 days and moviegoers have the opportunity to see literally hundreds of movies or as few as one. There are numer- ous other offerings in each year's festival besides the many movies. This year we were extraordinarily treated to "An Evening with Glenn Close" and "An Evening with Jon bightt." It was nice that the festival's or- ganizers were able to arrange for the two "evenings" to be held on Friday and Saturday nights. Both were sold out at 30C a pop. I was glad to see so many people 230 - springing for such a moment. I actuallydidn't attend theClose evening but it included a screen- ing of one of her more popular films. "Fatal Attraction," which co-starred Michael Douglas. At- tendees of the event held at En- zian Theatre in Maitland. a cafe art movie house got to quiz Close on a variety of subjects during the Q-and-A portion of the evening. I heard from a good source that the audience thoroughly enjoyed this evening. I did attend the evening with Jon Voight and it did not disap- point. I sat in the front row so as to catch all the gesturing, facial lan- guage, etc. From my settee. I got to see one of my favorite actors. "Mid- night Cowboy" was screened and then Voight and a festival official took stage in a relaxed table-and- two-chairs setup. Then there was Q-and-A. It went on and on for at least an hour or so. Folks got to in- quire about a huge variety of sub- jects. I asked him about his Oscar for "Coming Home" and he said, as you might expect, that it wasa ma- jor moment in his career and that his "asking price" for movie work after the Oscar went up consider- abl\. Unfortunately, because of my own personal constraints. I had to leave before the end of the Q-and- A (to prepare for the next movie to be screened). hM assessment of audience satisfaction was that it was well-received and was very de- lightful.

Valencia Community Col- lege offers a variety of courses in filmmaking. UCF has a major film program.

That's a familiar lament when your marriage or "relationship" is heading south. A favored quote from one of my favorite authors, Leo Tolstoy, goes, "All happy families are like one another; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." It's one of those quotes where you say, "Yea, I get that," but upon closer reflection it doesn't really hold up to analysis. I be- lieve humans have so much in common that we are all pretty much happy and un- happy for similar reasons. There are only so many things, after all, that can go wrong. Different back- grounds. Different experi- ences. Different personali- ties. Different ambitions. Different expectations. Different ways of com- municating! What else? In marriage, all those factors coalesce around two auton- omous adults (hopefully adult) and if the stars are aligned you last as a couple or you don't. You're happy or unhap- py over status (within the relationship), whether or 2 not there is fairness (child care, work, decision-mak- ing, money, etc.), whether your needs are being met (sexual, personal, worldly), whether or not you are re- spected (for your contribu- tions or, simply, for just be- ing you) and whether your autonomy as an individual is considered all in some "greater" context of the two of you as a unit. Having shared dreams and aspira- tions helps, too. Quite a number of de- cades ago I was introduced to the idea that there are only so many themes to the human story. It is an amazingly small number. We think we are sooooooo complex and deep as a spe- cies but, in actuality, we are just clever little mon- keys. Not even sometimes. Clever. I can get my mind around why or why not a relationship does or does not work. A marriage fails, a couple parts ways and you may think you know the reasons) but unless you are (were) there day in and day out, it's all conjecture. "Vas you dere, Charlie?" I particularly revel in com- ments like the following: "Oh, they seemed so happy, I simply cannot understand what could have gone wrong!" See above para- graphs two and three now. Many of us operate on the idea of "greener pas- tures" over there, of "Ah, but a man's reach should ex- ceed his grasp or what's a heaven for?" I laugh out loud at such notions and recall, "Be careful what you wish for." It could be and frequently is that mar- riages/relationships fail be- cause, as Carly Simon sang, "I haven't got time for the pain." Relationship failure I get. But how did it come to this nationally? I occasion- ally listen to the gibberish that passes for conserva- tive talk radio. Glen Dreck, Rush Bimbo, Shawn Hilar- ity. These clowns passing as conservatives, ur, hmmm? Clowns? Conservatives? Why be redundant? The clowns of talk radio are apoplectic and apocalyp- tic. But when are they not? I'd take these dupes more seriously if they hadn't all been, well, such flat-footed stooges for the tragic fool who passed for our last president. How did it come to this? How do we (America) find ourselves on the ropes? Why are we going trillions into debt? Is it complicated? Or, is it classic greed, crime and corruption merely on an unprecedented scale? Folks, we need to muster all our righteous indigna- tion (if we have any re- maining) and demand an accounting. We are being royally "screwed" and the way it is being handled by President Obama will only ensure that the "problem" will one day be identified as the "problem" Obama in- herited but didn't properly' address. I do not want that. SIf our Justice Depart- ment will not conduct in- vestigations into the causes and culprits involved in America's economic melt- down, if the Senate and the House will not con- duct public hearings with sworn testimony, if charges of fraud are not brought against culpable leadership and management of Amer- ica's large banks and finan- cial institutions, if jail terms and appropriate fines are not handed out, there will be no resolution to what currently ails our nation. Free tip to any honest Republican: Want to ensure your re-election? Publicly and insistently demand that the president, Con- gress, the Justice Depart- ment and law enforcement conduct public investiga- tions into what went wrong with our financial system. Who did what when? Insist on punishment and. restitu- tion! Demand it! Loud and often! Insist on economic justice for all of America. You might even be swept into the White House. Free tip to Charlie Crist: You always seem to be cam- paigning for the next office. Charge your Florida De- partment of Justice (Attor- ney General) to investigate the banks and financial in- stitutions operating in Flor- ida for fraud and corrup- tion. Hold public hearings and demand accountability. You can do it, Charlie! It just might be your ticket to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Not one more dime of bailout money to any cor- poration until America finds out exactly who is re- sponsible. Not a dime. Too many crooks are still cook- ing the books. Bill Moyers of PBS in- terviewed William Black - investigator of the sav- ings and loan scandal on April 3. To read a transcript of that incredibly damn- ing interview go to: www. PBS.org/moyers, then click on "ARCHIVE" near the top, and finally click "Tran- script" under "William K. Black: CSI Bailout." It is much, much worse than you think. It is worse than you imagine. Many of the CEOs of America's larg- est banks arid financial in- stitutions committed fraud. They are criminal. We need justice. They need jail! How did it come to this? At an individual level, we may not have time for the pain, but as a national family it is imperative that regardless of the pain, we take the time, make the effort and insist that-we determine the unvarnished truth. Hopefully, it will set the nation free and the culprits to jail. TALK STK JEPSON Chris Jepson's opinions are made independently of the newspaper. Write him at jepson@MEDIAmerica.us. Letters to More to Bradley platform than dogs, business I have to disagree with your reader stating that the only real mandate Ken Bradley received was a re- sult of merchants and dog lovers banning together to turn the tide against David Strong. And while I don't doubt the merchants and dog lovers played a part in the final results, let's not forget the voters who helped push Mr. Bradley over the top the ones from Mayor Strong's precinct (as Im sure three other commissioners who live in the same area are aware). In fact, anyone who attended the victory party at the Park Plaza would have seen and spoken to more than just merchants and'dog lovers. What he would have heard is some of the doubt many of us had relative to the voter turnout and whether enough people would take the time to read Ken Bradley's action plan for the city, which was sent out to the voters and posted on his campaign site. Other issues besides the mer- chants and Fleet Peeples Park were on Mr. Bradley's agenda. In fact, Bradley's decision to write an ac- tion plan for everyone to read and comment on was another tion of his promise to lead just assuming the role of t during a Commission mee didn't Mayor Strong take a ship role when it came to such as commuter rail, coi hensive plan, and parking Let's not go there!

Conservative Cultural Commentary By Louis Roney Distinguished Professor Emeritus, UCF 2004 Fla. Alliance for the Arts award Assisted by beloved wife Joy Roney Two guys... (short story) SNice martini they do here dry-like I like. Say, I've read you're a pretty savvy guy.'A real hot- shot. A brain. But I'll tell you up to now, you don't seem to know what you're talk- ing about." "Fella, I don't think I've said anything." "Well, you did nod your head to me. That means.yes, doesn't it?" "Well, I'll grant you I may be in a mood to say 'yes' if I could remember what it was you asked me." "You were nodding at me a minute before that too, while I was talking." "I was nodding because you might have thought me rude if I wasn't running off at the mouth. At shindigs like this, everyone is trying to talk faster and louder than everyone else. So I often just nod and save my breath until I can be heard. If I finally do speak up, it's because there's something worthwhile I think I can squeeze in edgewise." "Well, you must have something you're market- ing, like the rest of these hucksters here yakking full- blast." "Pal, I'm trying to lighten up on ideas right now, not parlay them into any kind of winning sales pitches." "What are you trying to come across as, some mys- terious guru?" "No, but I wouldn't mind being seen as exceptional for being non-confronta- tional, honest and simple with everything and every- body." "That's pretty mealy- mouthed sounding." "No, just detached. Steer- ing clear of frays. Peaceful. More like that." "How the hell can any- one do that?" "I reckon one has to ret- rogress somehow." "Like?" 'Well, every day I'd like to grow gradually less anti- pathetic." "Which means what, Einstein?" "Well, take this for what it's worth. Yesterday I tasted Hubbard squash for the first time in my life. I thought it was awful. Today, I've simply put it out of my mind. Now I can stare Hub- bard squash right in the eye without getting riled up." "You think that's some kind of victory? Or progress or something?" "Oh yes I do. You see, I envision my life as bring- ing me lots of dishes of Hubbard squash. If I don't learn to travel lean, I'll go through life lugging around this tremendous baggage of Hubbard squash I should simply have walked away from. That's scary to me." "You're not saying every- body should think that way, are you?" "You mean to forget about Hubbard squash?" "No, not that. I mean the way we act about lots of stuff we don't cotton to. Things, and people we dis- like, the way you hate Hub- bard squash." "You're missing the point. The truth is that I do not hate Hubbard squash. I've found out I can walk away from it. It simply doesn't have to exist for me. I wish all Hubbard squash a long and happy life - but far removed from my mouth." "Well, people are not so uncomplicated, as some coarse food you maybe can't stand." "You're right about that. People are more complex than anything, except people." "So ... we've agreed peo- ple can be distasteful and a bigger nuisance than any squash Hubbard or oth- erwise?" "Yep." "Then how should peo- ple treat other people they really can't stand?" ."Just do the Hubbard squash maneuver: Turn all cheeks and walk away. Don't talk walk." "Yoi don't want to 'make anything' out of anything? Doesn't that take a step backward from human na- ture and reality?" "In some ways, I guess." "That sounds a little wacko to me. It's taken you all your life, and all you've ever learned, just to get where you are right now." "And where the hell am I?" "Well if you don't know, who does?" "Maybe nobody. But I'm getting pretty interested in finding out while I've still got the chance." "Say, you've gotta right to plenty of ego, guy, after all you've managed to do in this world." "Self-esteem suits me just fine." "Well, you must have plenty of that after what you've made of your life." "I could have done bet- ter." "So could we all. The thing is you've lived a great life. You've made your per- ,sonal mark. You've got a lot goin' for you..." "And, I've got a great wife." "That too?" "More than just 'too.' Most of the other items in my life I can't put my arm around and talk to about Hubbard squash or any- thing else." "Don't you want to keep on getting ahead?" "Ahead of what? I'm way ahead of myself right now as I see it." "What's that supposed to mean?" "It means thinking about putting gears into reverse and heading back." "Back to where?" "To where things make some sense." "Where's that?" "Somewhere way back wherever I left 'em..." "Then you were actually there a long time ago, wher- ever it was?" "Yeah. You too, I can well imagine." "Well, what is it you are going to go back to, to get to this something or other that you say made sense, and then you lost track of?" "I'm just trying to figure that out... The compass in my noggin is not all that ac- curate nowadays." "Then maybe you won't be able to figure things out at all." "Touche! But it's more to do with instinct, than figur- ing." "Is this some kind of search..." "Righto!" > turn to RONEY on page 14 WEATHER 530 590 650 6a.m. I 3p.m. I 6a.m. Friday UV INDEX ! 10 *I Very High TODAY: Mostly sunny, with a high near 85.

And President Warren G. Harding's widow, Florence Harding, burned nearly all of his papers after his death. I bet you didn't know there's a word used to refer to the space between your eyebrows. Yep: It's called the "ophryon." If you're a runner and a compulsive counter you might already be aware that the average person's feet hit the ground approx- imately 800 times per mile when running. A man who worked as a blacksmith in a small Rus- sian village found what he was told was a dummy cannon shell that had been used for training purposes, and he decided it would make a great anvil. Unfor- tunately; it turns out that the shell wasn't a dummy after all; it exploded, killing the blacksmith but not until after he'd been using it for 10 years. The next time you're tempted to whip out the plastic to make a purchase, you might want to consider this little factoid: The aver- age American spends 20 percent to 30 percent more when using a credit card than when paying with cash. Thought for the Day: "The trouble vith weather fore- casting is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it." Patrick Young 2008 King Features Synd., Inc. ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A suggestion from a colleague on how to work out a problem might not sit too well with you. But before you suspect his or her motives, why not just accept it as a friendly gesture? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An associate might seek your counsel on a workplace dispute with another coworker. Listen to what she or he has to say, but withhold advice until you've heard the other side of the story. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Use your Twin gifts for creativity and practicality to score points in landing an opportunity that could open doors to a new career. Someone returns after a long absence. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Although things are pretty hectic through much of the week, some quiet time with loved ones helps restore balance. An unexpected visitor brings welcome news about a mutual friend. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Getting used to change isn't always easy for the Big Cat. But make the adjustments gradually, and soon you'll hardly remember when things were any different from how they are now.
