Gene Davisresigns

MIKE WRIGHTStaff writer

INVERNESS — GeneDavis sought reconcilia-tion as a member of theCitrus County HospitalBoard and his one vote tomake that happen costhim politically.

Davis, who hoped tobring unity to the CitrusMemorialhospitald i s p u t efollowinghis Sep-t e m b e rappoint-ment, re-s i g n e dM o n d a ybefore the state Senatehad a chance to vote downhis confirmation.

Davis declined an invi-tation to appear Mondaybefore the Florida SenateCommittee on Ethics andElections for a confirma-tion hearing.

Instead, Davis submitteda resignation letter toCCHB chairwoman DebbieRessler. The resignation iseffective immediately.

Davis said he thoughtthe confirmation hearingwould be a waste of time.He said contacts in Talla-hassee, who he would notname, said some senatorsopposed his confirmation.

Davis said he and Sen.Charlie Dean, R-Inver-ness, have not spokenabout the appointment.

He said political oppo-sition is the result of hisbeing the only board voteagainst appealing a gover-nance lawsuit to theFlorida Supreme Court.

“Unfortunately, I nowfind myself consideringhow each vote I will makewill be evaluated by ourstate politicians with littleregard to my opinion ofwhat is best for our hospi-tal, its employees, and es-pecially, the citizens of

A bill being consideredtoday by a state House com-mittee could mandate insur-ance coverage fororally-administered cancermedications.

It could enable patients

like Beverly Hills residentWinston Hamilton to gettheir cancer treatment in apill form rather than intra-venously and their insur-ance would pay for it

Hamilton, a retired elec-trical worker who suffersfrom prostate cancer, wastaking a pill for treatment.

“The expense of this is sohigh,” he said. “It’s $7,800for a month’s supply.”

And with a benefit cap of$20,000 he would have topay for it himself along withall his other medications.

After two months on thedrug he could no longer af-ford it and could not find

any assistance, so he had tocancel it.

“It really worked,” saidhis wife, Charlotte, “so thatwas really good. We couldpay for some of it, but not$7,800 a month. That’s morethan we’re taking in.”

Hamilton is not on anycancer medication now and

will be starting three weeksof IV chemotherapy thissummer. It will be coveredby Medicaid.

The Cancer TreatmentFairness Act, which passedthe Senate, would save pa-tients from having to pay

Legislation could change cancer coverage

Medical workers aid injured people Monday at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon after an explosion.

Associated Press

BOSTON — Two bombs exploded in thepacked streets near the finish line of theBoston Marathon on Monday, killing threepeople and injuring more than 140 in abloody scene of shattered glass and sev-ered limbs that raised alarms that terror-ists might have struck again in the U.S.

A White House official speaking on con-dition of anonymity, because the investi-gation was still unfolding, said the attackwas being treated as an act of terrorism.

President Barack Obama vowed thatthose responsible will “feel the fullweight of justice.”

A senior U.S. intelligence official saidtwo other bombs were found near the endof the 26.2-mile course in what appearedto be a well-coordinated attack.

Authorities shed no light on a motive orwho may have carried out the bombings,and police said they had no suspects in cus-tody. Authorities in Washington said therewas no immediate claim of responsibility.

“They just started bringing people inwith no limbs,” said runner Tim Davey ofRichmond, Va. He said he and his wife,Lisa, tried to keep their children’s eyes

shielded from the gruesome scene insidea medical tent that had been set up tocare for fatigued runners, but “they saw alot.”

“They just kept filling up with moreand more casualties,” Lisa Davey said.“Most everybody was conscious. Theywere very dazed.”

The fiery twin blasts took place almostsimultaenously and about 100 yardsapart, knocking spectators and at leastone runner off their feet, shattering win-dows and sending dense plumes of smokerising over the street and through thefluttering national flags lining the course.

When the second bomb went off, thespectators’ cheers turned to screams. Assirens blared, emergency workers and

The mission: capture asmany species of turtlesas possible.

The challenge: finding themand chasing them down.

Taking on the objectivesApril 6 were almost threedozen students from the Uni-versity of Florida and EckerdCollege, based in Clearwater.

This isn’t the first time stu-dents from both Florida-basedcolleges have taken to the wa-ters of the pristine RainbowRiver, having made this an an-nual trek for more than adecade as part of a hands-onopportunity outside the typicalclassroom environment.

“It’s a great learning experi-ence,” said Jessica Mullens, ajunior biology major from Eck-erd College, who made thetrek for the second time. “Idon’t focus on a lot of the re-search, but this is a great time.This is a unique opportunity, aunique learning experience.”

Of course, catching a fewturtles never hurts, either.

“It’s amazing how many wecan collect in one day,” shesaid.

It’s all a part a long-term tur-tle data collection project inthe Rainbow River. Once thestudents, whose majors range

from biology to wildlife ecol-ogy and conservation, aredone capturing turtles profes-sors assist them in noting the

species caught, weighing themand, of course, implanting amicrochip of sorts to be able totrack them in later years.

On this particular day, stu-dents caught a turtle tagged 12years ago. It also happened tobe the 12th straight year inwhich the same turtle wascaught, giving officials the rareopportunity to see its progresssince it was first caught andreleased back into the wild.

“This is excellent,” said Dr.Peter Meylan, a professor ofNatural Sciences at EckerdCollege. “For this large ofgroup, I’d say we caught about100 or more turtles today. Notonly did we catch a lot of tur-tles we can examine, wecaught a lot of differentspecies we can teach the stu-dents about.”

Throughout the 15-plus yearstudy of turtles on the Rain-bow River, Dr. Meylan’s stu-dents have captured 10different species.

Dr. Steve Johnson from theUniversity of Florida has par-ticipated in the study for thepast eight years, bringing hisstudents along with him.

“It’s a great way for my stu-dents to learn about the tur-tles,” he said. “This is a greatopportunity to get them out ofthe classroom and into the en-vironment which we’ve beenstudying about.”

Jeff Bryan is editor of TheRiverland News, a Dunnellon-based sister newspaper of theCitrus County Chronicle.

TALLAHASSEE — AFlorida House committeeshot down a plan Mondaythat would have acceptedtens of billions of federaldollars and expandedhealth coverage to roughly1.1 million residents underthe federal health law andinstead supported a less-ambitious proposal thatwould rely on state fundsand cover 115,000 residents.

Republican Rep. MikeFasano felt so stronglyabout the House plan,which relies on $237 mil-lion in state funds, that healigned with Democrats to

craft an amendment thatwould provide coverage toan estimated 1.1 millionresidents using about 55billion in federal dollarsover the next decade.Fasano’s amendment mir-rors a bill proposed by Sen.Joe Negron that is gainingtraction in the Senate.

Fasano called the cur-rent House plan “inade-quate, unaffordable andtruly unacceptable” andsaid lawmakers “have anopportunity to help somany more in this statewho have been sufferingfor so long.” He alsopointed out that his pro-posal would allow resi-

dents to start enrolling thisfall, while the currentHouse plan wouldn’t beginenrollment until July 2014.

U.S. Rep. Corrine Browntook a break from Washing-ton to attend the hearingand urged lawmakers notto burden Floridians witha double tax.

“It’s not a political issue,it’s a taxpayer issue andwhether or not we’re going toget our fair share of federaltax dollars,” Brown said.

Her comments echoed astatement from Gov. RickScott, who slammed theHouse plan spearheadedby Rep. Richard Corcoran,saying it would be an extra

burden on Floridataxpayers.

“This expansionsaves lives, moreso than the moneythat was lost whenwe didn’t take thehigh speed railmoney we’re talk-ing about lives ofFloridians,” saidHouse DemocraticLeader PerryThurston.

“What point is there inrefusing federal moneywhen we take it all thetime ... there is some ideo-logical problem here thatis just feet are stuck in theground on that one,” said

Rep. ElaineSchwartz, a Holly-wood Democrat.

But House Re-publicans havebeen unwaveringin their resolve torefuse federalfunds tied to theAffordable CareAct, falling in linebehind HouseSpeaker WillWeatherford, who

has repeatedly voiced con-cerns that the feds willback out of their promiseto pay 100 percent of theprogram for the first threeyears and 90 percent afterthat.

higher out-of-pocket costsfor cancer medicationtaken by mouth than for acancer medication admin-istered intravenously (IV).

It would apply to insur-ance plans that alreadycover cancer treatment. Itwould not affect Medicare,though Medicare doescover some oral cancertreatments.

Jessica Eilerman withthe Florida Department ofFinancial Services said,

“Right now the insurancecompanies are making thedecisions about chemotherapy. This bill ad-dresses that item, so indi-viduals and their doctorscan make that decision.”

“Currently, for Medicareas well as private insur-ance companies, most willcover chemo if it is givenin IV form,” explained Dr.C. Joseph Bennett, a radi-ation oncologist and mem-ber of the Citrus CountyUnit of the American Can-cer Society.

“However, manychemo drugs are nowavailable in pill form,

and many of the compa-nies will not pay for thisbecause they consider ita prescription and evenif they have a prescrip-tion plan for coverage, itwill cover medicationsfor blood pressure anddiabetes, but will not payfor these very expensivedrugs, often $5,000 permonth or more.”

Bennett said he’s had afew patients recently whohave not been able to getthese expensive medica-tions due to the cost, lackof insurance coverage, andlack of the drug companybeing willing to give them

the medications for free ifthey cannot afford it.

According to the FloridaDepartment of FinancialServices, under current in-surance benefits, patientswho receive oral medica-tions to combat cancermay face between hun-dreds and thousands ofdollars in out-of-pocket ex-penses each month whileundergoing treatment.

However, cancer pa-tients who receive theirtreatment by IV are typi-cally responsible for cov-ering the cost of only anoffice visit co-payment —usually $20 to $30 — when

they receive their IV-ad-ministered medication ina medical facility.

This disparity exists be-cause coverage for an IVcancer medication is usu-ally provided under aplan’s medical benefit, butorally administered can-cer medications are typi-cally covered by a plan’spharmacy benefit.

“If you don’t have excel-lent prescription coverage,it’s not covered,” Dr. SunilGandhi said, citing thehigh cost of some of thenew oral cancer medica-tions. But Gandhi, a hema-tologist and oncologist,

pointed out that Medicarewill cover some cancerdrugs such as Xeloda forcolorectal cancer andmetastatic breast cancer,which does not have an IVequivalent.

“We want to use thesegood drugs,” he said. “Itwould be nice if the insur-ance companies coveredthem.” He agreed it is acomplex situation, withsome of the new, more ef-fective drugs not having IVequivalents.

Citrus County,” his letterstates.

Dean, reached Mondayevening, said Davis wouldnot have been confirmed.He cited several reasons,particularly his vote to set-tle the governance lawsuit.

Dean said Davis’ voteshowed him more alignedwith the hospital founda-tion than the hospitalboard.

Gov. Rick Scott in Sep-tember appointed Davis,Michael Bays and KristaJoseph to the board. Fourmonths earlier, he ap-pointed Bob Priselac.

All four appointmentswere subject to Senateconfirmation. While allfour received notices ofthe confirmation hearing,

only Davis was asked toappear, CCHB attorneyBill Grant said.

The CCHB and CitrusMemorial Health Founda-tion have been embroiledin a dispute over controland finances since 2009. In2011, the foundation suedto overturn a state law thatgave CCHB trustees over-sight of the hospital; that’sthe case now pending withthe state Supreme Court.

Many thought the boardswere headed for reconcili-ation when Scott removedthree trustees and ap-pointed the four, includinga new trustee to fill a seatthat had been vacant for ayear.

The two sides are movingtoward common ground buthaven’t reached it yet. Davishad urged trustees to dropthe governance lawsuitafter the district court of ap-peal ruled in the founda-tion’s lawsuit, but he wasoutvoted 4-1.

Davis said on Mondayhe only wanted to end thedispute and provide much-needed funding for CitrusMemorial Health System.

He said trustees havespent $3.5 million on gov-ernance and legal costsover the last three years.

“We have gained nothingout of it,” he said. “That $3.5million could have beenspent for the hospital.”

Senate panel OKs bill promoting more nursing homes

Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE — AFlorida Senate panel onMonday advanced a billaimed at relaxingstate rules to allowmore nursinghomes to be builtin large retirementhavens.

Backed by TheVillages, a sprawl-ing retirementcommunity withmore than 100,000residents north-west of Orlando, the legis-lation aims to carve outexemptions to a long-standing limit on newnursing homes in a state

known as a magnet for theelderly.

The bill (SB 1482) wasadvanced by the SenateJudiciary Committee on a

6-3 vote, clearing akey hurdle as sup-porters try to pushit toward the fullSenate in the finalweeks of Florida’s60-day legislativesession. Similarlegislation is beingconsidered in thestate House.

The measurevoted on Monday wouldcreate limited exemptionsto a moratorium morethan 10 years old on stateapproval of new nursing

home beds. The bill wouldcreate exceptions forareas including The Vil-lages and in a handful ofother large retirementcommunities in the Sun-shine State.

Republican Sen. AlanHays, the bill’s sponsor,said the lack of enoughnursing home beds closeto The Villages causeshardships. He recountedthe situation of one elderlyresident who had to makea 40-mile roundtrip to visither husband in a nursinghome during the finalseven months of his life.

He said the shortage ofnursing home space hasbecome acute in The Vil-

lages, which ranks as oneof the country’s fast-grow-ing communities. That jus-tifies the proposal, he said,to allow the bypassing of astate review known as thecertificate of need processto build nursing homes forthe community.

The bill’s opponentscountered that the billwould create a patchworksystem that appears toplay favorites.

“When we take this ap-proach to CON, and violatethe rules that all of us havestood by and followed, itbegs the question, ‘Arethere others that are abovethe law?’” said Steve Bo-gomilsky, who runs a com-pany that operates nursinghomes in Florida.

Bogomilsky, whose com-

pany recently developed a120-bed nursing homeclose to The Villages, dis-puted the claims that theretirement community hasa shortage of nursinghome beds. He said there’sonly an 80 percent occu-pancy rate for the morethan 1,000 beds in the area.

Other opponents saidthat any changes to thecertificate of need processshould be comprehensiveand not be done in piece-meal fashion.

In presenting the bill tothe committee, Hays said,“My personal opinion, thewhole certificate of needprocess is anti-American,it is anti-free enterprise,it’s anti-competitive. Ithink we ought to do awaywith all of it. But that’s not

the purpose of this bill.”The intent is to provide

sufficient nursing homebeds in fast-growing re-tirement communities likeThe Villages, he said.

Specifically, his billwould create exemptionsfrom the state reviewprocess for deed-re-stricted retirement com-munities in counties inwhich at least 25 percentof their populations are 65or older and there is ademonstrated shortage ofnursing home beds.

Supporters said fiveFlorida counties would cur-rently qualify — Sumter, In-dian River, Collier, Marionand Hernando.

The moratorium was ap-proved by state lawmakersin 2001.

Colin Davis, 85C O N D U C TO R

LONDON — ColinDavis, the former princi-pal conductor of the Lon-don Symphony Orchestraand one ofBritain’se l d e rstatesmenof classicalmusic, hasdied at 85.

The or-c h e s t r asaid Davisdied Sun-day after a short illness.

One of the best-knownfigures in British music,Davis worked with theLondon symphony formore than half a century.

He first conducted forthe LSO in 1959 and tookthe principal conductorpost in 1995, serving until2006 before becomingpresident.

The orchestra saidDavis had been “at thehead of the LSO family formany years.”

“His musicianship andhis humanity have beencherished by musiciansand audiences alike,” itsaid in a statement, addingthat “music lovers acrossthe world have been in-spired by his perform-ances and recordings.”

Associated in particularwith the works of WolfgangAmadeus Mozart, JeanSibelius and HectorBerlioz, Davis won threeGrammy awards — two in2002 for the LSO’s record-ing of “Les Troyens” byBerlioz, and one forGiuseppe Verdi’s “Falstaff”four years later — and ahost of other trophies.

Colin Rex Davis wasborn in the southern Eng-land town of Weybridge onSept. 25, 1927, one of sevenchildren of a bank clerk.

Thanks to a generousrelative, he studied at theprivate school Christ’sHospital, then at the RoyalCollege of Music, beforespending his compulsorymilitary service as a clar-inetist with the band of theHousehold Cavalry.

Because he did not playpiano, he was denied aplace in the music col-lege’s conducting class,and initially he struggledto find conducting work.His entry in “Who’s Who”listed the years 1949-57 as“freelance wilderness.”

Apart from his long asso-ciation with the LSO, Davisspent periods as chief con-ductor of the BBC Sym-phony and music directorof the Royal Opera House,and worked with ensem-bles around the world, in-cluding the New YorkPhilharmonic, the BostonSymphony Orchestra andthe Bavarian Radio Sym-phony Orchestra.

He was knighted byQueen Elizabeth II in 1980.

In his early career Daviswas, by his own admission,“a raw young man,” knownfor abrasiveness and fits oftemper. He mellowed withage, becoming an enthusi-astic pipe-smoker andknitter as well as musicalleader.

In 2007, he told the BBCthat music helped stave offthoughts of death.

“Every time you give aconcert, time is sus-pended: You’re masteringit; time is not the enemy,”he said. “It doesn’t put offdeath, unfortunately, but itgives you a very good timewhile you’re still alive.”

Davis had two childrenwith his first wife, AprilCantelo, and five with hissecond, Ashraf Naini.

His children survive him.

Bob Perry, 80H O M E B U I L D E R

AUSTIN, Texas — Re-publican mega-donor BobPerry never cared for thespotlight. But writing bigc h e c k sand fi-n a n c i n gone of themost fa-mous tele-vision adsever in apresiden-tial cam-p a i g nmade the Texas million-aire famous nonetheless.

A wealthy Houstonhomebuilder whoshunned publicity whilegenerously bankrollingGOP candidates — and be-coming a force in a newera of lavish spending inAmerican politics — Perrydied over the weekend,said former Texas stateRep. Neal Jones, a closefamily friend.

Jones said late Sundaythat Perry, 80, died “peace-fully in his sleep” Saturdaynight. He did not offer fur-ther details.

“Mr. Perry was a won-derful friend to many allaround the United States,”Jones said. “With his pass-ing we’ve lost a great pa-triot who has made a greatdifference in the lives ofpeople all across the land.He will be sorely missed.”

Perry was a fixture ofGOP fundraising in Texas— and nationally — datingback to former PresidentGeorge W. Bush’s Texas gu-bernatorial races in themid-1990s. His largesse in-cluded giving $4.4 millionin 2004 to the Swift BoatVeterans campaign thatsought to discredit then-Democratic presidentialnominee John Kerry.

Perry spent prolificallyon politics but did so froma distance. He rarely gaveinterviews, skipped fancyfundraisers and was amystery to even many ofhis benefactors.

Yet Perry couldn’t avoidattention following his fi-nancing of the Swift Boatads, which challengedKerry’s wartime service inVietnam for which he re-ceived five medals. SomeDemocrats blamed Kerry’sslow response to the criti-cism for sinking his candidacy.

Perry donated money tohelp start the veteransgroup at the urging of hisfriend John O’Neill, aHouston attorney who co-wrote “Unfit for Com-mand,” a book thatquestions Kerry’s militaryservice.

Bill Miller, an Austinlobbyist who Perry hiredas a spokesman whenscrutiny surrounding theads erupted, said in 2004that Perry’s donation tothe Swift Boat Veterans re-flected his belief in thegroup’s message.

“In my conversationswith Bob, he just said,‘John contacted me, toldme what he was trying todo, and it sounded good tome.’ That’s really the wayhe does it,” Miller said in2004. “People call him andpitch him, and if he likeswhat he hears, he’ll write acheck.”

Perry was also a promi-nent financial supporter ofTexas Gov. Rick Perry, butwas not related. He wasthe founder of Houston-based Perry Homes, one ofthe largest homebuildersin Texas.

BOSTON — Witnesseswho heard the bomb blastsnear the finish line of theBoston Marathon walkedinto a scene of chaos andcarnage where they hadexpected celebration andrevelry. A few accountsfrom people who werethere:

■ Bruce Mendelsohnwas attending a post-raceparty in an office buildingjust above the blast sitewhen an explosionknocked him to the floor.

“There was like a flash,then a giant boom. Theconcussion blew me off thecouch onto the ground,” hesaid.

The former Army medicrushed outside and foundblood, glass and debriseverywhere and began ap-plying pressure to “grue-some” wounds.

“This stuff is more likeBaghdad and Bombaythan Boston,” saidMendelsohn, who works atthe Massachusetts Insti-tute of Technology. “It was

pretty terrifying.”■ Phil Kenkel was ap-

proaching the finish linewhen the two explosionshappened just momentsapart. The first made himwonder if it was a prank,the second stirred “sheerterror.”

The second bomb “wentoff virtually right besideme. About the only way outof that area was straightahead,” said Kenkel, ofStillwater, Okla.

“The glass was out of thebuilding, and there wasobviously a big hole in thecrowd. You realize theremust have been peoplethere that were knockeddown.”

Kenkel called his wife tolet her know he was allright.

“He wasn’t hurt, whichis a miracle, I guess,” Eve-lyn Quillen said.

■ Peter Gravelle was inthe VIP seating area at thefinish line, waiting for hisson and granddaughterwhen the blasts happened.He saw one victim sailthrough the air — then

what he believed was asevered limb.

“I thought I saw an arm,”he said.

His wife, Mary, saidshe’ll never forget the hor-ror of what she saw.

“My heart breaks for allthese people,” she said.“They actually fell down inthe road. The poor souls,yelling for help.”

The couple’s son andgranddaughter were unhurt.

■ A Kansas surgeon hadfinished the race momentsbefore he ran to help thewounded.

The first blast cameabout 30 seconds after Dr.Chris Rupe, of Salina,Kan., crossed the finishline. At first, he thoughtthe sound came from abuilding or grandstandcollapsing. He hurried tosee if he could help andspent about an hour in the

medical tent treating thewounded.

After that, most had beentransported to hospital.

“I’d just run 26 miles. Iwas starting to get tired,”Rupe told The Salina Jour-nal. “There were a lot ofgreat people who werethere. There are a lot ofgood people in the world.”

Emily Biglin Valentinethanked God she ran agood time.

The Novi, Mich.,woman’s husband andgood friend were in theexact spot of the explo-sions just a half-hour ear-lier. They heard theexplosions as they walked

to a train. It sounded likecannon fire.

“When I finished I wasso elated, and I said, ‘I’mdoing that again.’”

Now she doesn’t thinkshe’ll go back.

National Guardsmen whohad been assigned to therace for crowd controlbegan climbing over andtearing down temporaryfences to get to the blastsite.

Blood stained the pave-ment, and huge shardswere missing from windowpanes as high as three stories.

Boston police said threepeople were killed. Hospi-tals reported at least 140injured, at least 15 of themcritically.

Some 23,000 runnerstook part in the race, one ofthe world’s oldest and mostprestigious marathons.One of Boston’s biggest an-nual events, the race windsup near Copley Square, notfar from the landmark Pru-dential Center and theBoston Public Library. It isheld on Patriots Day, whichcommemorates the firstbattles of the AmericanRevolution, at Concordand Lexington in 1775.

Boston Police Commis-sioner Edward Davisasked people to stay in-doors or go back to theirhotel rooms and avoidcrowds as bomb squadsmethodically checkedparcels and bags left alongthe race route. He said in-vestigators didn’t knowprecisely where the bombswere planted or whetherthey were hidden in mail-boxes or trash cans.

He said authorities hadreceived “no specific intel-ligence that anything wasgoing to happen” at therace.

The Federal AviationAdministration barredlow-flying aircraft fromwithin 3.5 miles of the site.

Obama was briefed on

the explosions by Home-land Security adviser LisaMonaco. Obama also toldMayor Tom Menino andGov. Deval Patrick that hisadministration would pro-vide whatever support wasneeded, the White Housesaid.

“We still don’t know whodid this or why,” Obamasaid, adding, “Make nomistake: We will get to thebottom of this.”

With scant official infor-mation to guide them,members of Congress saidthere was little or no doubtit was an act of terrorism.

“We just don’t knowwhether it’s foreign or do-mestic,” said Rep. MichaelMcCaul, R-Texas, chair-man of the House Commit-tee on Homeland Security.

A few miles away fromthe finish line and aroundthe same time, a fire brokeout at the John F. KennedyLibrary. The police com-missioner said it may havebeen caused by an incen-diary device but didn’t ap-pear to be related to thebombings.

The first loud explosionoccurred on the north sideof Boylston Street, just be-fore the photo bridge thatmarks the finish line. Thesecond explosion could beheard a few seconds later.

They occurred aboutfour hours into the raceand two hours after themen’s winner crossed theline. By that point, morethan 17,000 of the runnershad finished the race, butthousands of others werefarther back along thecourse.

The attack may havebeen timed for maximumcarnage: The four-hourmark is typically acrowded moment nearthe finish line because ofthe slow-but-steadyrecreational runnerscompleting the race and

because of all the rela-tives and friends clus-tered around to cheerthem on.

Runners in the medicaltent for treatment of dehy-dration or other race-re-lated ills were pushed outto make room for victimsof the bombing.

A senior U.S. intelli-gence official said the twoother explosive devicesfound nearby were beingdismantled. The officialspoke on condition ofanonymity because he wasnot authorized to discussthe findings publicly.

A woman who was a fewfeet from the second bomb,Brighid Wall, 35, ofDuxbury, said that when itexploded, runners andspectators froze, unsure ofwhat to do. Her husbandthrew their children to theground, lay on top of themand another man lay ontop of them and said,“Don’t get up, don’t get up.”

After a minute or so with-out another explosion, Wallsaid, she and her family

headed to a Starbucks andout the back door throughan alley. Around them, thewindows of the bars andrestaurants were blown out.

She said she saw six to

eight people bleeding pro-fusely, including one manwho was kneeling, dazed,with blood trickling downhis head. Another personwas on the ground covered

in blood and not moving.“My ears are zinging.

Their ears are zinging,”Wall said. “It was so force-ful. It knocked us to theground.”

Some Scott picks in jeopardyAssociated Press

TALLAHASSEE —Some appointments byFlorida Gov. Rick Scott ap-pear in jeopardy of gettingpassed up this year by theFlorida Senate.

Among those at the top oflist: The state’s surgeongeneral and leader of thestate Department of Health.

John Armstrong isn’t

alone. The Senate appearsunlikely to confirm all 11people appointed in the lastyear to the board chargedwith running fledglingFlorida Polytechnic Uni-versity in Lakeland.

Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater and chairmanof the Senate panel re-sponsible for screeningappointments, said a deci-sion was made against on-

firming the universityboard members becausethe fate of the school re-mains “in flux.”

The school was estab-lished last year by theFlorida Legislature, but itstill doesn’t have any stu-dents. There have beendiscussions about whetherthe university should beplaced under the controlof another college.

Dish offeringto buy Sprint

NEW YORK — Dish Net-work Corp. is trying to snagU.S. wireless carrier SprintNextel from a Japanesesuitor. Dish offered $25.5 bil-lion in cash and stock onMonday for Sprint, which Dishsays beats an offer fromJapan’s Softbank Corp.

If the Dish deal goesthrough, it would create aunique combination of pay-TVand wireless operator. Dishhopes to lure customers withthe promise of TV service thatcan go with them, out of thehouse and on their phones. Ithas already broken ranks withthe pay-TV industry by provid-ing a set-top box that can sendrecorded shows to iPads.

GM, Ford to workon transmissionsDETROIT — General Mo-

tors and Ford are puttingaside their longstanding ri-valry to work together to de-velop a new generation offuel-efficient automatic trans-missions.

The companies said Mon-day that their engineers willjointly design nine- and 10-speed transmissions that willgo into many of new cars andtrucks.

When transmissions havemore gears, engines don’thave to work as hard. Thatsaves fuel. As long as the

shifting is smooth, most driv-ers probably don’t give muchthought to their transmissions.

China’s economicgrowth slows

BEIJING — China’s eco-nomic growth slowed unex-pectedly in the first threemonths of the year, fueling

concern about the strength ofits economy.

The world’s second-largesteconomy grew by 7.7 percentover a year earlier, down fromthe previous quarter’s 7.9 per-cent, the government reportedMonday. That fell short ofmany private-sector forecasts.

NEW YORK — Worriesabout an economic slow-down in China fueled asteep drop in commodityprices Monday, spookinginvestors and giving thestock market its worst dayof the year.

The trigger for the sell-off came from China,where the world’s second-largest economy expanded7.7 percent in the firstthree months of the year,well below forecasts of 8percent or better. Thatnews pummeled copper,oil and other commodities.Shares of oil and miningcompanies fared the worstbecause China is a hugeimporter of their products.

The decline came aftera pile of negative eco-nomic reports. In additionto the concerns aboutChina, a separate reportshowed weak manufactur-ing in the Northeast, and ahome builders’ survey in-

dicated housing activityisn’t going to be strong, ei-ther, said Steven Ricchi-uto, chief economist forMizuho Securities.

“People are realizingthat the global economyisn’t as strong as they ex-pected it to be,” he said.

The market began tum-bling hours before reportsemerged of two bombs ex-ploding in the packedstreets near the finish lineof the Boston Marathon.The attack that killed twopeople and injured morethan 100 was just one morething to worry investors.

The pullback disrupted,at least for the moment,the phenomenal rally thathas sent the Dow Jones in-dustrial average up 13 per-cent and the Standard &Poor’s 500 index up 11 per-cent in 2013. Both indexesmarked record highs onlylast Wednesday. But themarket’s exceptional per-formance has fueled wide-spread speculation about

an inevitable retreat.Concerns that Cyprus

and other troubled Euro-pean countries may sellgold to raise cash havealso weighed on prices forprecious metals, said DanGreenhaus, chief globalstrategist at the brokerageBTIG.

The Dow tumbled 265.86points to close at 14,599.20, adecline of 1.8 percent.Caterpillar, a maker ofheavy equipment used byminers, led the index lower,falling 3 percent to $82.27.The S&P 500 index slumped36.48 points to 1,552.37, aloss of 2.3 percent.

The S&P was led byFreeport-McMoRan Cop-per & Gold, which fell 8percent to $29.27. Analystsat Citigroup placed a “sell”rating on the mining gianton the expectation thatcopper prices will con-tinue sliding.

The Nasdaq compositefell 78.46 points, or 2.4 per-cent, to 3,216.49.

Commodity slumppulls down stocks

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Theshine has come off the goldmarket.

The price of gold loggedits biggest one-day declinein more than 30 yearsMonday, tumbling $140.30,or 9 percent, to $1,361.While gold has been grad-ually falling since hitting apeak of $1,900 in August2011, the sell-off acceler-ated late last week.

Before the drop, goldhad climbed every yearsince 2001, as investorsbought the metal both asprotection against infla-tion and as a so-called safehaven. The precious metalpeaked as lawmakerswrangled over raising thedebt ceiling in the summerof 2011 and threatened topush the U.S. into default.

But a slowdown in infla-tion, combined with specu-lation the Federal Reserveis considering windingdown its stimulus program,prompted investors to sellFriday. Reports thatCyprus may sell some of itsgold reserves to pay off itsdebts, following its bailout,also rattled the market.The selling then intensi-fied Monday as speculatorsdumped their holdings.

Here’s why gold isfalling and what the de-cline says about theeconomy:

Investors bought goldbecause they were afraidthat inflation would risetoo fast as a result of theFed’s effort to stimulategrowth by driving down in-terest rates through pur-chases of governmentbonds. The higher cost ofgoods would erode thepurchasing power of dol-lars. So far, though, infla-tion has remained undercontrol, even as the econ-omy has improved. In fact,the value of the dollar hasrisen recently relative toother major economies.That makes gold a less at-tractive investment.

Investors also buy gold asa safe haven, a kind of in-surance when they are wor-

ried about the possibility ofsome kind of a financialcollapse. While there hasbeen a lot to worry aboutover the last six years — thefinancial crisis, the threatof a U.S. default, meltdownin Europe — none of thoseevents have led to financialArmageddon.

That fear factor has dis-sipated after centralbankers around the worldhave bailed out one econ-omy after the other.

“Gold is an insuranceasset for when things govery wrong,” says NicholasBrooks, head of researchand investment strategy atetf securities. “It’s just thatpeople don’t feel the needfor insurance right now.”

Could gold dropsignal end to boom?

Associated Press

In this Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012 file photo, a technician pre-pares gold bars of to pack for delivery at the EmiratesGold company in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Gold hasplunged more than 10 percent the last two days, sug-gesting that a decade-long surge in the metal is over.

No age limit on drivers

I just had to give you myopinion on the issue of olddrivers.

I don’t know how many oldpeople live down here inFlorida. I know that if you takeaway their wheels they arelost.

Most of them depend ontheir car to take then to thestore, church, yard sales, doc-tors, etc. If they are like methey don’t go anywhere.

On Tamara Baker’s commentthey should be tested every sixmonths, which is wrong: I canunderstand a test every twoyears. The most important testwould be the eye test. But, theyshould have their test on apublic highway, not a parkinglot.

Most old people I know aregood drivers. (No age limit.)

Please keep greedynoses out of it

Hooray for Citrus Memorial. Citrus Memorial hospital has

served this community verywell.

The Citrus County HealthBoard, staffed with Gov. Scott’sappointees, has done nothingbut create grief for the hospital

by withholding funds alreadyearned by, and collected for,the hospital.

Withholding these funds wasobviously done to force thehospital into a distressed sale.Why? There could be no rea-son except to create a “forprofit” hospital so that some-one can get that profit.

Citrus Memorial works justfine. The politicians should gettheir greedy noses out and letthe health care professionalsdo their job – for you and me.

Poor decision hurts county

To put it simply: FloridaPower took money from theircustomers to repair the nu-clear plant.

Instead of hiring qualifiedpeople, they used our money tofix it themselves and destroyedthe plant — a clear misuse ofour money while creating a se-rious financial loss to CitrusCounty. Perhaps the citizens ofCitrus County could file aclass-action suit.

Margie JohnsonBeverly Hills

Acouple of weeks ago, Ihad the privilege of sit-ting next to two former

Florida death row inmates.Herman Lindsay

was exonerated in2006 after three yearson death row. SethPenalver was exoner-ated four months ago,after spending 18 ofhis 39 years in prison.They were in FlaglerBeach to talk abouttheir ordeal, andabout one ofFlorida’s most en-during shames: adeath penalty systemso clunky, so embar-rassing, that 24 people havebeen exonerated since the statere-instituted what amounts tostate-sponsored murder in1976.

That gives Florida the dou-ble-bladed distinction of havingexonerated more people offdeath row than any other state.At least some of the $50 milliona year the state spends on thataberrant system isn’t wasted.

There are plenty of reasonsthat argue against the deathpenalty — religious, moral, con-stitutional (what is more crueland unusual than lethal injec-tion, a method the Nazis firstput to broad use during theHolocaust?). In Florida, meremath is one such argument. Thestate’s grim ratio of one exoner-ation for every 17 people cur-rently on death row certainlysuggests that at least some ofthe 75 people the state killedsince 1976 were innocent, andmany of the 405 on death rowtoday might be.

Yet Florida has yet to join thegrowing list of states — amongthem New Jersey, Illinois,Maryland, Delaware, Connecti-cut — that have repealed a pun-ishment so barbaric that noother western nation practicesit. Nations that most enthusias-tically do form a roster of total-

itarian relics: China, Iran,Saudi Arabia.

I called sitting next to Lind-say and Penalver a privilege be-

cause they are thewalking dead whoreturned to the liv-ing. Unlike peoplewho confabulate sto-ries of near-deathexperiences, Lind-say and Penalver foryears were forced tothe edge of the abyssand kept there untilthe state was forcedto set them free. Asthey spoke in FlaglerBeach, neither pre-tended to have been

angels in their former lives. Butthere was no justifiable con-nection between their crimesand the torture they endured.And they justly ridiculed a sys-tem that had chained them tothe drawn-out rituals of themost rationally calculated, pre-meditated form of murderthere is.

“I hear about these lastmeals,” Penalver said. “I don’twant no last meal. It’s sad, butit’s true. You’re talking aboutkilling me and you ask me abouta last meal?”

Those rituals are designed tomask barbarism with solemnity.It doesn’t work. It accentuatesthe absurd, which is the culmi-nation of every execution.

Last week, I went to Starkestate prison for the first time towitness the scene just outsidethe prison walls. Larry EugeneMann was being killed a fewhundred yards from us for the1980 murder of a 10-year-oldgirl in the Tampa area. Tworoped-off holding pens hadbeen created in a large fieldacross the road from the prison,one marked — literally — witha sign that read “supporters”and another that read “protest-ers.” We might as well havebeen at a high school debate. Arow of Florida Highway Patrol

cruisers and troopers dividedthe two groups, ridiculously, be-cause neither group exceededthree dozen people. Neithergroup was much interested inthe other.

It was a wonderfully mild dayfor an execution. Cows arrayedin their pasture against theprison’s fences mooed. Birdsand traffic flew by, indifferent.There were prayers. There wasidle chatter. There was a lot ofsmart-phone fiddling. The hourof execution passed as the sunfell. Around 7:30 p.m., a coupleof vans full of “witnesses” to theexecution — another one ofthose normalized follies —came out. Then the hearse.There was a “news conference”under a white tent on the samefield, though calling it a newsconference plays into the re-volting stage-management ofthe revenge-murder.

The entire afternoon seemedso civil and rustic, like the firstscenes of “Picnic at HangingRock.” Which is why the horrorso easily endures in this state.An execution is just anotherday.

Mark Elliott is neverthelesshopeful. He heads Floridiansfor Alternatives to the DeathPenalty. He’s been to every vigiloutside Starke for a decade orso. He was there again lastMonday.

“Segregation, Jim Crow,women not being able to vote,lynchings,” he told me as wewaited for word of Mann’sdeath, “all of that sounds so bar-baric. But it wasn’t so long ago.”

The death penalty will oneday take its place in that grimgallery. But the death chamberneeds fewer Floridian fansfirst.

MEDICAL TREND

Patient care,satisfactiongoal of ACO

There’s a relatively newconcept in medical cir-cles that’s offering a

possible path to fixing ourbroken health care system:the ACO, or Accountable CareOrganization. This model isintended to re-ward medicalproviders who de-liver high-qualitycare and save thesystem money inthe process.

The U.S. De-partment ofHealth andHuman Serviceshas recognizedjust a handful ofACOs in Florida.As of January thisyear, CitrusCounty has one: The NatureCoast ACO, a group of pri-mary care physicians affili-ated with the West FloridaMedical Associates.

The federal AffordableCare Act included a numberof alternatives for attackingthe problems plaguing ourhealth care system. The Cen-ter for Medicare and Medi-caid Services put the ACOoption into effect in January2012, creating what’s calledthe Medicare Shared SavingsProgram.

Here’s how it works: theMSSP ACO’s physicians takeresponsibility — become ac-countable — for enhancingthe quality of care receivedby Medicare beneficiarieswhile cutting excessive costs.The improvements are antic-ipated through greater shar-ing of information amongproviders so the right healthcare actions are taken at theright time. Especially in thecase of those with chronichealth conditions such as di-abetes or heart disease, un-necessary testing, imagingand hospital admissions orreadmissions can be avoidedwith appropriate preventivecare and proper monitoring.

For a long time, the healthcare system has been aboutthe money. But turning thatconcept on its head, incen-tives in Accountable Care Or-ganizations are all aboutefficient, effective, patient-

centered care. MSSP ACOs sign three-year

agreements. During thattime, they are evaluated onwhether stringent healthquality standards are metand health care expenditures

are reduced. Ifthose goals aremet, the ACOmembers share inthe savings. Con-versely, if thosegoals are not met,the ACO shares inlosses.

The good newsfor patients witht r a d i t i o n a lMedicare is theyare still free toconsult any physi-cian desired, re-

gardless of ACO status.Traditional Medicare rightsand benefits will not be con-strained in any way. Whatthose patients may notice,though, is less duplication inpaperwork, testing or ap-pointment-setting, and moreattention to whether they arecomplying with prescribedhealth care regimens.

Expect to be seeing andhearing more about ACOs inthe future. They can includejust physician groups, or con-stitute a coalition of hospi-tals, clinics and doctors,sometimes “friendly rivals”who want to share best prac-tices. ACOs in other stateswith at least a year’s experi-ence already are reportingimprovements in terms of in-creased use of primary carephysicians, decreased unnec-essary use of emergency de-partments, better healthoutcomes, and pass-alongsavings in the case of someself-insured groups.

Doctors for the most partcurrently operate under afee-for-service model. TheACO movement reorientsphysician incentives, weight-ing compensation to positivepatient care outcomes.

While there still may be im-plementation wrinkles toiron out, everyone can get on-board with ACO “triple aim”goals of patient satisfaction,high-quality care and affordability.

THE ISSUE:Local physicians

form an Accountable Care

Organization.

Disgusted withour BOCC

In the opinion column, Ilike “Respect the process,leaders should stick toroles prescribed bycounty laws.”

Respect the process.What about an ordi-nance such as impactfee ordinance? I feel theboard of county commis-sioners, school boardand our administrationhas not adhered to thisordinance. It is time fora forensic audit. The im-pact fee ordinance is forincreased capacity to beused within seven yearsor refunded at 5 percentinterest.

The BOCC are thewatchdogs of thesemonies. Annually, theschool board needs toapply for allocation of im-pact fee monies from theBOCC for a specific pur-pose allowed under theordinance.

The school board haspurchased property on(County Road) 486 in PineRidge for a new school in2007 which may not bebuilt for 15 to 20 years andhas just allocated morethan $200,000 to DAB forroad improvements ac-cessing the future schoolproperty, which has a use-ful life of approximately20 years before it has tobe resurfaced dependingon use.

I am not saying the pur-chase of the property wasbad. The funding was in-appropriate. Fundingshould of come fromother sources, not impactfee monies. We have de-creased capacity now. Theimpact fee monies are forincreased capacity sevenyears, not a school wemay not see for 15 to 20years. This is speculationwith monies from individuals.

There should be anaging report on when aspecific person paid animpact fee. Where, whenand how it was spent.How it was approved,whether the school boardapplied to the BOCC anda meeting held for thepurpose of the allocationof impact fee dollars for aspecific purpose.

I hope our administra-tion is ready. There are at-torneys in other countiesright now representing in-dividuals who have paidimpact fees in 2006 andare now applying for re-funds at 5 percent interestseven years later as statedin the ordinance.

When we apply for ourimpact fee reimburse-ment with our 5 percentinterest the school boardmay be off the hook.

The monies were dis-tributed to them. Did theyfollow the ordinance? Didthe BOCC follow the ordinance?

Does the administra-tion have all aging reportsfrom all individuals? Iwould rather see peopleworking, building, addingad valorem taxes and thiscounty prosper.

We have a problem withDuke Energy. We have aproblem with our budgetwith today’s economy.Does our BOCC want a

problem with the impactfees?

I’m tired of wastingtime with the BOCC onimpact fees. I’m going formy reimbursement.

Strange, but truecat tale

This is an unbelievablestory and yet I know it’strue because it happenedto me personally.

About a year ago mybeloved cat, Sahib, died.A week later I received aninvitation to take the Ger-man Life magazine, but Iwas shocked to find that itwas addressed to “SahibAnderson.” I telephonedthe German Life maga-zine for information onhow they had receivedSahib’s name. They toldme that they could notfind such a name in theircomputer.

Now you may not be-lieve the rest of the story,but here goes — I saw inthe Greenbelt Gazettethey had cats that neededa home and so I calledthem. They told me theyhad a white cat whoseowner had died and noone in the family wantedto keep him. I indicated Iwas interested in him andso I have him in my housenow for keeping andprobably adopting him.He is very loving, wants tobe with you and evensleeps with you.

Here’s the unbelievablepart of the story ... hisname is German, it is“Klaus.”

WASHINGTON — A bi-partisan proposal to ex-pand background checksto more gun buyersseemed in jeopardy Mon-day as a growing numberof Republican senators ex-pressed opposition to theproposal, perhaps enoughto derail it. But there wasplenty of time for lobbyingand deal-making to affectthe outcome, which re-mained uncertain.

The White House saidPresident Barack Obamawas calling lawmakers, asboth sides hunted supportfor a nail-biting showdown.

As of Monday evening,

some senators were sayingthe vote now appearedlikely late this week,rather than midweek astop Democrats havehoped. Such a delay wouldgive both sides more timeto find support.

“The game hasn’t evenstarted yet, let alone over,”said Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who reached a back-ground check compromiselast week with Sen. PatrickToomey, R-Pa., on whichthe Senate was preparingto vote.

At stake is what has be-come the heart of thisyear’s gun control drive inresponse to December’skilling of children and staff

at an elementary school inNewtown, Conn. Support-ers consider a broadeningof the buyers subjected tobackground checks to bethe most effective step law-makers can take, andObama urged near univer-sal checks in the plan heunveiled in January.

Sixteen Republicansvoted last week to rejectan effort by conservativesthat would have blockedthe Senate from even con-sidering a broad bill re-stricting firearms. Withthat debate underway, De-mocrats hope to winenough supporters fromthis group to gain passageof the first amendment to

that bill — the compro-mise between Manchinand Toomey, which ex-pands background checksbut less broadly thanObama has wanted.

By Monday evening,eight Republican senatorsfrom that group said theywould oppose theManchin-Toomey plan andtwo were leaning againstit. Combined with the 31senators who voted againstdebating the overall gunbill last week, that wouldbring potential opponentsof expanding backgroundchecks to 41 — just enoughvotes to block the Senatefrom considering thecompromise.

BAGHDAD — Insurgents inIraq deployed a series of carbombs as part of highly coordi-nated attacks that cut across awide swath of the country Mon-day, killing at least 55 on the dead-liest day in nearly a month.

The assault bore the hallmarksof a resurgent al-Qaida in Iraqand appeared aimed at sowingfear days before the first electionssince U.S. troops withdrew. Therewas no immediate claim of re-sponsibility, but coordinated at-tacks are a favorite tactic ofal-Qaida’s Iraq branch.

Iraqi officials believe the insur-gent group is growing stronger andincreasingly coordinating with al-lies fighting to topple Syrian Pres-ident Bashar Assad across theborder. They say rising lawless-ness on the Syria-Iraq frontier andcross-border cooperation with aSyrian group, the Nusra Front, hasimproved the militants’ supply ofweapons and foreign fighters.

The intensifying violence, someof it related to the provincial elec-tions scheduled for Saturday, isworrying for Iraqi officials andBaghdad-based diplomats alike.At least 14 candidates have beenkilled in recent weeks, includingone slain in an apparent ambushSunday.

“Of course we are concernedabout the violence in the country

that has been increasing in the lastweeks,” United Nations envoyMartin Kobler told The AssociatedPress. He condemned the blood-shed and urged Iraqi officials topush ahead with the elections.

“They should be free and fair,and every voter should go to thepolls free of intimidation andfear,” he said.

Iraqi Army Maj. Gen. Hassan al-Baydhani, the No. 2 official atBaghdad’s military command,said authorities managed to de-fuse three car bombs in Baghdadbefore they could go off.

He described the violence as anattempt to derail the electionsand intimidate voters.

“The terrorists want to grabheadlines as we approach elec-tion day,” he said.

Monday’s attacks — most ofthem car bombings — were un-usually broad in scope. Amongthe places where attacks eruptedwere the Sunni-dominated west-ern Anbar province and SaddamHussein’s hometown of Tikrit, theethnically contested oil-rich cityof Kirkuk and towns in the pre-dominantly Shiite south.

WASHINGTON —Here’s a little secret for allyou procrastinators on TaxDay: The Internal RevenueService doesn’t like to talkabout it, but as long as youdon’t owe any additionaltaxes, there is no penaltyfor filing a few days late.

The late filing penalty isusually 5 percent of theunpaid taxes for each

month — or part of amonth — a return is late.That can add up quickly ifyou owe additional taxes.But what if the unpaidtaxes are zero? Five per-cent of zero is ... zero!

However, if you waitmore than three years tofile, you forfeit your re-fund. So maybe it’s betterto file by Monday, after all.Besides, if you’re getting arefund, why wait?

The IRS got a late starton tax season this year,thanks to a last-minute taxlaw passed by Congress onJan. 1. But the deadline forfiling returns didn’tchange, so if you owemoney, it’s time to settle upwith the government.

A look at this year’s filingseason, through April 5:

■ Returns filed so far:96.6 million.

■ Share of taxpayers get-

ting a refund: 81 percent.■Total amount of refunds

issued so far: $214 billion.■ Average refund: $2,755.■ Average refund in

2012: $2,794.■ The rise of computers:

89 percent of returns havebeen filed electronically.

■ Clinging to the past:That leaves 11 percent stillfiling paper returns.

■ These people are get-ting a refund: 29 percent of

Americans in a Pew Re-search Center poll saidthey like doing their taxes.

■ These people are get-ting a big refund: 5 percentsaid they love doing theirtaxes.

■ These people are notgetting a refund: 26 per-cent said they hate doingtheir taxes.

■ As of March 9, the IRSdetected 220,821 fraudu-lent returns.

Logistics Specialist Seaman Justin Nolen par-ticipated in the team’s open try-outs held inMarch and was notified of his selection earlierthis month.

“It’s amazing to be selected because I get achance to not only represent the command, butthe entire Navy,” said Nolen, 20, who hails fromInverness. “This is a sport I’ve always competedin because of the strength and discipline requiredto be successful. I’ve always tried to embody those

traits, especially as a sailor, and it will be an honorto represent the Navy in Las Vegas.”

Nolen will compete in the 51 kg. (121 pounds)category and will need to finish in the top seven toqualify for an invitation to the U.S. World TeamTrials in Stillwater, Okla. in June.

“He certainly has the drive to succeed,” saidLogistics Specialist 1st Class Christopher Klock,Nolen’s division leading petty officer. “It’s greatto see him push so hard, because that ethic seepsinto his work ethic and we get a great sailor as aresult. I wish him the best, and if he doesn’t makeit, I know he’ll be up there again next year be-cause that’s how dedicated he is.”

Nolen explained competing on a national levelnever gets any easier.

“The nerves will always be there, becauseeveryone is just as good as you are, if not better, atthat level,” he said. “The difference this time is itmeans something more to wear a shirt walkinginto the arena that says ‘Navy’ on it. I hope to rep-resent us and Anchorage well.”

The Lecanto Panthers’ No. 1 doublesteam, consisting of sisters Amber andMadison Gamble, as well as Citrus Hurri-cane No. 1 singles player Melanie Dodd,traveled to Altamonte Springs as the lonerepresentatives from Citrus County tocompete against a collection of the very

best tennis players the state of Floridahas to offer.

Despite strong efforts from bothschools, the Gamble sisters and Doddwere unable to get past the first of fourrounds during the FHSAA Class 3A statetournament at Sanlando Park on Mondaymorning.

The Gamble sisters were victims toBartram Trail’s Aubrey French andRachel Thigten, who won in straight sets6-4, 6-3.

Dodd drew the No. 3 ranked seed in theClass 3A state tournament, Eau Gallie’sChristi Woodson, during the first roundlottery. Woodson moved swiftly past Dodd6-1, 6-1.

“(The loss) doesn’t take anything away

from Mel’s season,” Citrus head coachScott Waters said. “She’s got one moreyear and she’s an incredible kid.”

The meet marked the first time any ofthe three players had competed at a statetennis meet.

Dodd qualified for state with her Dis-trict 3A-5 No. 1 singles championship winon April 2. The Citrus junior has theunique distinction of being undefeated inher district for all three years of highschool (15-0 this season) and has won adistrict title all three years she has playedtennis for Citrus (No. 4 singles as a fresh-man and No. 2 singles last year).

“She goes out there and adjusts hergame to who she is playing,” Waters said.“After a game or two she figures it out and

does her thing. She has a lot of heart.”The first-round loss in the state tourna-

ment was the first Dodd has suffered inthree years (five years if you include hermiddle school streak).

Lecanto’s Gamble sisters qualified forstate with their No. 1 doubles district titleover Forest (who won an April 9 rematchin the regional finals). The Gambles fin-ished the year with a 14-3 record as a dou-bles team.

“I’m very proud of my girls and the waythey played,” Lecanto head coach Sam-mie Hall said. “And I’m glad that Amberwas able to experience state, since she isthe lone senior in the top five this season.

“They hung in (there) and kept trying,”Hall continued. “They played well.”

“If we play our game, if we play hardand to the best of our ability, then I’ll besatisfied.”

Lecanto did play hard against WestPort, a team that was winless in districtplay and won just once all season. Still,after scoring a run on a lead-off triple byAmber Atkinson and a sacrifice fly byPaige Richards in the first, the Panthers

allowed the Wolf Pack to put together afour-run comeback aided by threeLecanto errors in the second.

West Port obliged with a mistake thatturned the game’s tide back in favor ofLecanto in the bottom of the second.

With runners on first and second andtwo out, Atkinson sent a towering fly ballinto short left field. At least three WolfPack players could have made a play onthe ball, but none did. It fell safely, withtwo runs scoring and Atkinson takingresidence at second base.

SCOREBOARDCITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE

7-4 — a lead they would not relinquish.

The Wolf Pack did narrow the gap,scoring twice in the fourth on a two-out error to make it 7-6. But a five-runLecanto fifth inning ended the scor-ing, a rally that began with BreannaMartin’s single. Holstein tried to moveher up on a bunt, but the Wolf Packthrow to first ended up in the outfield,allowing both runners to come aroundand score to make it 9-6.

Walks to Parrish and Atkinson putRichards at the plate, and she deliv-ered a two-run double. Richards latercame home on an error to make it 12-6.

Yant started and got the pitchingwin, while Kasey Owens took the loss

for West Port (1-21 for the season).Richards paced the offense for

Lecanto with two hits and four runsbatted in. Hopkins, Lilley and Atkin-son also had two hits apiece, withAtkinson getting a pair of RBI.

“There are two keys,” said Pan-thers’ assistant coach Butch Millerwhen asked about Lecanto’s tourna-ment chances. “Our pitchers have tohit their spots. We don’t have the kindof pitchers who will overpower peo-ple, but they can change speeds andhit their spots. If they do hit theirspots, that will give our fielders achance to field the ball. We try tothrow the ball so we know wherethey’ll hit it.”

As for Lecanto’s offense, Millersaid, “We have the hitters. All we haveto do is relax.”

And, as Dupler said, play error-free.Central likely won’t be as helpful tothe Lecanto cause as West Port was.

left field in the bottom of the fifth for awalk-off mercy rule win. Gage finished2 for 3 with three RBI.

Iwaniec acknowledged his team’s ef-forts at the plate, while saying of hisgame-changing home run, “It felt great,but after that, we didn’t quiet down andwe just kept it on them.”

Mosher added, “We came out know-ing it would be a hard game. We knewwe had to come out ready and play ourbest.”

Wildwood head coach Stephen Naveagreed.

“Two outs, we committed three orfour errors, but you’ve got to give themcredit, they didn’t give up,” Nave said.

The Wildcats (6-15) had a three-runthird inning to make it 8-3, as Torre Park

had a two-run double and Pope drovein the only other Wildwood run on agroundout.

But Seven Rivers bounced back withthree runs in the fourth to again extendthe margin.

Wildwood pitching struggled allnight, as Pope (1 2/3 innings, eight runs,six hits, two walks, one strikeout), BradyAdams (1 1/3 innings, two runs, one hit,three walks) and Ronnie Ingram (2 in-nings, three runs, hit, walk) all laboredagainst the relentless Warrior lineup.

Conversely, seventh grader Pilsburyimpressed from the hill, going all fiveinnings, giving up two earned runs onfour hits with three walks and twostrikeouts.

“I thought Parker did a really nice jobtonight,” Ervin said. “He stayed poisedeven with runners on base and he gotout of several jams.”

Seven Rivers travels to Oak Hall ofGainesville today for a 4:30 p.m. start.

SPORTS BRIEFS

MIAMI — A Brooklyn Dodgers ball-boy during Jackie Robinson’s rookieseason helped honor the baseball pio-neer Monday by throwing out the cer-emonial first pitch at the MiamiMarlins-Washington Nationals game.

Norman Berman, 84, lives in nearbyWest Palm Beach and has been a Mar-lins fan since their first game in 1993.He also was the Dodgers’ 19-year-oldballboy in 1947, the year Robinsonbroke the sport’s color barrier.

Berman witnessed the challengesRobinson overcame as depicted in thenew movie “42,” with opponents re-lentlessly taunting and heckling theDodgers rookie.

“That movie was very close to whathe had to go through,” Berman saidbefore the Marlins game. “They threwat him, they stepped on his feet, andhe never turned his back. He neversaid anything to them. He never triedto fight them. He walked away with asmile on his face, because they toldhim, ‘If you argue and fight with them,you’re going to ruin it for everybodyelse.’”

Berman’s only season as ballboywas in 1947, and he watched Robinsonand the Dodgers reach the World Se-ries. Berman said Robinson be-friended him, played catch with himand gave tips on how to make a double-play pivot.

“He was a wonderful person,”Berman said. “I learned somethingfrom him — when you go throughtough times, you’ve got to stay positive.

I don’t think most of the ballplayerswho came after him would have beenable to be the first black ballplayer,because they couldn’t do what he did.”

Baseball celebrated its annualJackie Robinson Day on Monday, withplayers at all major league gameswearing the late Hall of Famer’s No. 42.

High school FLAG FOOTBALL

Citrus blanks PiratesJUSTIN PLANTE

Correspondent

INVERNESS — Rivalries alwayspique the interest of the general public,and such was the case Monday night atthe Citrus Bowl, as the Crystal River HighSchool flag football team squared off

against cross-county rivalCitrus High School in arematch from earlierin the season.

And while rivalry gamesgive way to heated arguments and flaringtempers, they can also help producesome of the best games of the season, asthe Lady Pirates and Lady ’Canes provedon Monday.

Both offenses have proven throughoutthe season they can score, with both post-ing multiple games of 20 or more points,but it was the defenses that ruled the day.

Crystal River, after posting a 20-6 winover the Lady ’Canes earlier in the sea-son, committed three turnovers and werestopped on a late fourth and goal, as theysaw their perfect season come to a close,losing to Citrus 7-0.

It was clear early on this game wasgoing to be much different than the first.

Throughout the entire first half, nei-ther team seemed to find their footing of-fensively. Both defenses made it a pointto shut down the middle of the field,which forced both sides to throw deep tothe outside, making it almost impossibleto sustain long drives.

Crystal River’s Jamie Jaster put on ashow at defensive end, stopping every-thing that came her way. When Citrustried to cut to the outside with speedsterDecaysha Miller, Jaster shut her down,and when the Lady ’Canes attempted topass, Jaster found a way to disrupt thetiming, despite the quarterback rotationCitrus was using.

Citrus’ defense was just as relentless,with safety Peyton Wells the focal point in

the stifling pass defense.Citrus’ success can be attributed to an

added emphasis on one of the basics ofthe game — flag pulling.

“We’ve been working on flag pulling,”Citrus assistant coach Darrin Johnsonsaid. “The games we’ve lost this year canall be tacked up to not get-ting that job done. Wewould get into position,and try to make the play,but they just weren’t get-ting pulls. So we’ve beenworking on that, espe-cially with Crystal Riverbeing as fast as a team as they are.”

Citrus’ offensive keys remained just assimple — try to change up the pace andcatch Crystal River off guard. They didthis mainly by switching out three sepa-rate quarterbacks — Sam Kanawall,Bethany Smith and Alyssa Nathan.

And while nothing was happening onoffense in the first half, the change ofpace helped spur a 40-yard touchdownpass from Nathan to receiver Paige An-tonelli midway through the third quarter.

After a long Pirate drive resulted in aninterception deep in Citrus territory,Jamie Jaster willed her way in front ofBethany Smith’s quick pitch to teammateDecaysha Miller, giving the Pirates theball in good field position, with plenty oftime left on the clock.

After what looked like a tying score byreceiver Jasmyne Eason was ruled out ofbounds, the Lady Pirates were staringdown a fourth and goal.

But Peyton Wells and the Citrus de-fense prevailed.

“This game was great because thereweren’t too many mistakes made,” coachJohnson said. “We had a scare therewhen Alyssa went out, but Bethanyjumped in and played great. Her pass onfourth down to Lindsay (Connors) basi-cally clinched the game for us. But thiswas a great game.”

Atiny magneticbracelet im-planted at thebase of the

It’s a novel way to treatsevere acid reflux,which plagues millionsof Americans and canraise their risk for moreserious health problems.

It happens when aweak muscle doesn’tclose after swallowing asit should. That lets stom-ach juices splash backinto the throat. Drugslike Nexium andPrilosec reduce acid. Butthey don’t fix the under-lying problem, calledGERD, or gastroe-sophageal reflux disease.

The treatment was“life-changing,” said Fos-ter, a 61-year-old plumb-ing contractor fromCanyon Country, Calif.

“It’s been 30 years sinceI’ve been able to eat nor-mally and now I can eatanything anytime.”

The Linx device, madeby Torax Medical Inc., ofSt. Paul, Minn., is a ringof titanium beads withmagnets inside. Doctorsplace it around the weakmuscle at the base of theesophagus in a half-hour

operation using a scopeand “keyhole” incisionsin the belly. The ring re-inforces the weak mus-cle to keep it closed, yetis flexible and expandsto let food pass whensomeone swallows. Thering comes in multiplesizes; it is about a half-inch in diameter and ex-pands to about 1.5inches. People don’t feelit once it is implanted.

The device costs$5,000; the operation canrun $12,000 to $20,000depending on hospitalcharges, said Dr. JohnLipham, a surgeon whooffers it at the Universityof Southern Californiaand at Hoag MemorialHospital Presbyterian inNewport Beach. Manyinsurers cover it for pa-tients who are nothelped enough byantacid medicines.

“It is a clever device,”said another doctor whohas used it — Dr. Donald

Castell, a gastroenterolo-gist at the Medical Uni-versity of South Carolinain Charleston. The mag-nets “just bolster a littlebit the pressure that isnormally there” andhelp seal off the stomachjuices, he said.

Both doctors consultfor Torax. A third expertwith no financial ties tothe company — Dr.Daniel DeMarco of Bay-lor University MedicalCenter in Dallas — saidearly results with the de-vice have been “very im-pressive.” But only timewill tell if they hold upfor many years, he said.

As many as 20 millionAmericans have GERD.It’s not just a quality-of-life issue: Chronic acidreflux can raise the riskof a condition calledBarrett’s esophagus,which in turn can raisethe risk of throat cancer.

noticed redness aroundher breast. Initially, it wasthought to be an infection,but when it persisted, herdoctor biopsied it andfound inflammatorybreast cancer.

One of my regularreaders also wrote mean email asking me toexplain inflammatorybreast cancer.

Inflammatory breastcancer is a rare form ofbreast cancer. The can-cer gets its name becausethe symptoms are likethose of mastitis (inflam-mation of the breast) andinclude redness, tender-ness, swelling and painin the breast.

However, unlike masti-tis, inflammatory breastcancer does not improve

Surgeon Dr. John Lipham, left, talks to his patient, Tricia Carr, on April 4, at the Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, Calif., about the Linx device she had implanted. The bracelet-like device is implanted around a weak muscle at the base of the throat that doesn’t close as it should and helps preventstomach acid from splashing back into the throat. Swallowing food will overcome the magnetic attraction andallow the beads to separate, allowing food and liquid to pass normally into the stomach.

Heartburn implant offers some reliefA tiny ring implanted at the base of the throat offers relief for chronic heartburn from acid reflux. How it works:

Muscle Implanted ring

Esophagus

STOMACH STOMACH

A muscle doesn’t close after swallowing as it should, stom-ach juices go up into the throat.

The ring reinforces the weak muscle to keep it closed, yet is flexible to allow food to pass.

Lipham shows a Linx device. The small band ofmagnetic beads is used totreat chronic heartburn.

reflux should be treated,”but most people getenough relief from acid-lowering medicines, saidDr. Brian Reid. He’s direc-tor of the Barrett’s esopha-gus program at FredHutchinson Cancer Re-search Center in Seattle.

Antacids didn’t work forCarr, a 54-year-old nurse.

“You’re having a won-derful time and all of asudden it hurts. It’s horri-

ble,” she said. Her motherhad a serious complicationfrom chronic reflux — lungscarring that led to herdeath.

“So I really was anxiousabout having my GERDfixed,” Carr said.

Lipham gave a presenta-tion on the device at a stafftraining session at Hoag,the Newport Beach hospi-tal where Carr works.

“After his talk I wentright over to him and said,‘I need one of thosethings,’” she said. The de-vice, which she received inOctober at the USC hospi-

tal in Los Angeles, “com-pletely fixed it immedi-ately,” she said of her reflux.

A side benefit: She eatsmore slowly and chewsher food more to avoidswallowing problems thatsome people have rightafter surgery. And she saidthat has helped her drop10 pounds.

Lipham and other doc-

tors recently published astudy of the device in 100patients in the New Eng-land Journal of Medicine.All had had reflux for atleast 10 years and weregetting worse despiteusing antacids.

After having the mag-netic ring implanted, acidmeasured in their throatsgreatly decreased. Qualityof life improved substan-

tially for 92 percent, andwithin one year, 86 percentno longer needed acid-lowering medicines.

The most frequent sideeffect was difficulty swal-lowing, which occurred in68 percent of patients rightafter surgery. Thatdropped to 11 percentafter one year and 4 per-cent after three years.

Six of the 100 had to

have the device removed.In three it was becauseswallowing problems per-sisted. Other problemsprompted removal in theothers.

The device is availableso far in 24 states, includ-ing Florida.

Bone-graft advancesIthought I would write about a recent

journal article that Dr. Robert Brock-ett, an oral surgeon in Citrus County,

sent me for review. He thought it mightbe interesting to you, my readers.

The title of the article is “rhBMP-2/ACSGrafts Versus Autogenous CancellousMarrow Grafts in Large Verti-cal Defects of the Maxilla: AnUnsponsored RandomizedOpen-Label Clinical Trial.”

I bet you are real worried atthis point. What in the world ishe gonna talk about today?

I have had so many com-ments in the past at how easymy column is to understand.They tell me I always putthings in layman’s terms.

Lucky for you, today will beno different.

First, know that this is aboutgrowing bone for the placement of dentalimplants. If you are one of those patientswho has been told you cannot have im-plants unless you have a bone graft fromthe hip, this is your lucky day.

This study looked at the results of anumber of patients who had grafts fromthe hip or other large bone in the body, aswell as those who had grafts utilizingfreeze-dried cadaver bone along withcomponents from the patient. These com-ponents form a matrix to hold things to-gether and signal the body to make itsown bone.

The long and short of it is it is now pos-sible to get similar results to the long-dreaded graft from another part of thepatient’s body using this protocol.

The reality is this is not such a newprotocol. I have actually been involvedwith many cases where bone was grown

in this manner. I have seengreat success with it for quitesome time.

It is important to know thatthe use of dental implants isno longer controversial. Infact, I would say that a weekdoes not go by I do not see apatient who either has a den-tal implant or is having one re-stored. If you were told in thepast you were not a candidatefor one, I would suggest you re-visit it again. You will be sur-prised what new technologies

have come out in the placement andrestoration of dental implants.

I would like to thank Dr. Brockett forsending this article to me. If we’ve helpedjust one of you get an implant when youthought you were not able to ... that issomething to celebrate.

Planning for eldercareToday, more than 44 percent of

Americans still have one parentliving when they reach the age of

60. Chances are you will become re-sponsible for the care of one or moreaging parent.

Though you might not liketo think about it, a day willcome when you, or your agingparent, may be faced with re-duced mobility, medicalproblems, loss of independ-ence, or a serious medicalcrisis.

Careful planning now canprevent unnecessary emo-tional turmoil, anxiety andfrustration when that day ar-rives.

Begin this important dis-cussion now, while the agingmember of your family is still able tocommunicate clearly about his or herhopes and desires. Has your elder madeany long-term plans for the future?What are these plans? Does he or shewant to live at home with assistance,move in with a family member, or live inan assisted-living residence? Whichfamily members does he or she want toassist with long-term care issues? Whatkind of financial and legal arrange-ments have already been made? Whatfinancial resources are available to payfor elder care? Respect the person’swishes and opinions, even if they aredifferent from your own.

If this dialog is difficult, perhaps be-cause of strained family relationships orbecause the elder is struggling to re-main independent, enlist professionalhelp from an attorney, financial planner,physician, or senior services provider.

Gather all the important informationabout yourself or your elder in oneplace: Social Security, passport and dri-ver’s license numbers; financial infor-mation; birth certificate; legal papers;insurance information; Medicare andMedicaid numbers; burial plans; doc-tors and their phone numbers; a list ofmedications and medical devices; andcontact information for relatives andclose friends.

If a medical emergency or other crisisarises suddenly, you will quickly be ableto access this information.

Find out about the resources avail-able for seniors in your community, andprepare a plan that will allow you oryour elder to live in comfort and receivenecessary care and assistance. Re-sources include family and churchmembers, senior centers, home healthcare agencies, day care or short-termcare facilities, assisted living facilitiesand local government and charitableagencies and services.

Assess the home environment, look-ing for situations that might present ahazard for an elderly person, such asslippery walkways, steep stairs, poorlighting and heavy doors. It may be nec-essary to make some alterations to thehome, such as installing handrails in thebathtub. Develop a system for regularlychecking on the elder’s well-being, anda way to communicate if there is anemergency.

Several legal documents can help youensure that your wishes regardinghealth care will be carried out if you be-come incapacitated and unable to makedecisions for yourself. Consult an attor-ney or legal aid service for help inpreparing these documents so that theyare valid in Florida.

■ An Advance Health Care Directive(AHCD) instructs others about yourmedical care if you become unable tomake decisions on your own. It becomeseffective only under the circumstances

specified in the document. An AHCD allows you to appoint a

health care agent (also known as ahealth care proxy). Your health careagent can be a spouse, family member,

close friend or other repre-sentative who will make sureyour wishes and expectationsare met. This person willhave legal authority to makedecisions regarding yourmedical care if you are nolonger able to speak for your-self.

An AHCD also allows youto give written directionsabout your future healthcare, life-sustaining medicaltreatment if you are termi-nally ill or permanently un-conscious, pain relief and

organ donation. The AHCD can specifywhat you want and what you do not wantin specific situations.

Signing a legal document such as anAHCD does not take any authority awayfrom you. You can override the deci-sions of your health care agent orchange the AHCD as long as you arecompetent to speak for yourself.

Family members can make decisionsabout your medical care without anAHCD. During a medical crisis however,emotions may run high and family mem-bers may not agree on what to do. AnAHCD helps to prevent disputes andmakes sure your wishes are respected.

■ A Living Will is a legal documentthat clarifies your wishes regardingwhether to use life support systems toprolong your life and when to withholdor withdraw treatment. When you arehospitalized, the hospital keeps yourLiving Will on file. Give a copy of yourLiving Will to your physician and keep acopy with your other legal papers, be-cause close family members may notshare your views regarding your med-ical treatment.

■ Durable Power of Attorney is a legaldocument designating another person toact on your behalf in legal and financialmatters. This document can be very im-portant when transferring financial as-sets or applying for Medicaid (Title 19).

■ A Last Will and Testament is a legaldocument specifying how you want yourassets to be disposed of after your death.

Ask your physician for help in creat-ing a good eldercare plan for your par-ent or yourself. A number of agenciesand organizations offer information andassistance in caring for seniors:

brain has been wired toseek an altered state. Earlyin recovery (the first 18months), there is an ongoingstruggle between the forcesof recovery, a state that isnot satisfying for the brain,and the forces of relapse, astate that has instant grati-fication for the brain.

Even minor circum-stances, such as a cold, canlead to hourly warfare be-tween the two forces. This

is why relapse is so verycommon during the initialstage of recovery as itdoesn’t take a tragedy totrigger a brain battle.Often times, it’s an appar-ently minor occurrencethat leads to a completebreakdown of sobriety.

People on the outside ofaddiction don’t under-stand how fragile recoveryis for the first few years.

Many addicts in recov-ery don’t understand howfragile the thread of recov-ery is for them, and whenthey allow even minor dis-tractions to join their path,

major upheavals occur. Unfortunately, the ad-

dicted brain knows andloves distractions — dis-tractions create a pre-scription for using.

Loved ones, who feeltheir recovering familymember should be “allbetter” after a year ofclean time, create wonder-ful distractions. Lovedones can feel trapped ordemoted to second-classcitizens because of the ad-dict’s daily absences formeetings and work withsponsors. They can builddisturbances in the recov-

ery path by requestingshifts in priorities, placingan addict in turmoil be-tween two positive forces— their recovery versusthe relationship.

Excuses for disorderand turmoil are many. Sec-ond to relationships ishealth care. Whether theissue is acute or chronic,minor or major, relapse al-ways hovers close tohealth conditions.

Wading through thehealth care waters is notan easy task for those inrecovery. Our brains arealways lying in wait to con-

coct a “reason” to alter ourstate of being. What betterway than to have a doctorprescribe it? The thin skinof our warped sense ofmorality can get goose-bumps just thinking abouta legal way to get loaded!

It’s vital we have a firmplan for our health careneeds that includes oursponsor, a sober supportperson and a loved one. Oursponsor can help us by chal-lenging the self-centeredview of the world we have,and confront our whiningand “catastrophyzing.”

A sober support person

can help us decide whatand how to address signifi-cant health issues with ourphysicians in a way thatbest supports our recovery.

And our loved ones canbe freed up to love us, andwe them. For, God knows,they need all the freedomthey can get when in a re-lationship with us addicts.

Sodium intake a risk in developing high blood pressureQ:I have high

blood pres-sure and my

doctor told me to re-duce my salt intake.How can I best dothis?

A: The FDA is alsotrying to help con-sumers reduce theirsalt intake and pro-vides the following in-formation:

■ Most Americansconsume way toomuch sodium, with salt (sodiumchloride) being the most com-mon form. That can be a serioushealth hazard, because excesssodium consumption contributesto the development and escala-tion of high blood pressure, aleading cause of heart disease,kidney disease, and stroke.

■ Research shows that Amer-icans consume on average about

3,300 milligrams (mg)of sodium every day.The 2010 DietaryGuidelines for Amer-icans recommends areduction of sodiumintake to less than2,300 mg daily.

■ Adults age 51 andolder, and people ofany age who areAfrican-American orwho have high bloodpressure, diabetes orchronic kidney dis-

ease should further reducesodium intake to 1,500 mg daily.This amount meets your essen-tial need for sodium. Thesegroups comprise about half theU.S. population.

■ The Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention (CDC)recently reported children andadolescents consume about thesame amount of sodium as adults

and also risk developing highblood pressure. The researchersfound that kids who consumedthe most sodium faced doublethe risk of having high bloodpressure, compared to those whotook in less sodium. For over-weight or obese children, therisk was more than triple.

So, what’s a consumer to do?When shopping for food, readfood labels and choose foodsthat are lower in sodium. TheNutrition Facts Label on foodand beverage packages lists the“Percent Daily Value (%DV)” ofsodium in one serving of a food,based on 2,400 mg per day. The%DV tells you whether a foodcontributes a little or a lot toyour total daily diet. Foods pro-viding 5%DV or less of sodiumper serving are considered lowin sodium and foods providing20%DV or more of sodium perserving are considered high. But

remember, all of the nutrition in-formation on the label is basedupon one serving of the food andmany packaged foods have morethan one serving. It is recom-mended that consumers not ex-ceed 100 percent of the dailyvalue for sodium and those ad-vised to limit intake to 1,500 mgper day should aim for about 65percent of the daily value.

Consumers must also beaware of the sources of sodiumin their diet. In a report issuedin February 2012, the CDC iden-tified 10 foods as the greatestsources of sodium:

■ breads and rolls.■ lunch meat, such as deli

ham or turkey.■ pizza.■ poultry, fresh and processed

(much of the raw chicken boughtfrom a store has been injectedwith a sodium solution).

■ soups.

■ cheeseburgers and othersandwiches.

■ cheese, natural andprocessed.

■ pasta dishes.■ meat dishes, such as meat

loaf with gravy.■ snack foods, such as potato

chips, pretzels and popcorn.Don’t forget to count the

amount of sodium in the foodsserved at your favorite restau-rant. Many chain restaurants arealso putting the nutritional con-tent of their foods — includingcalories, fats, sodium and sugars— on their websites, or it’s avail-able by asking for it.

(PTSD), according to astudy recently publishedonline in the Journal of theNational Cancer Institute.

In this study, re-searchers from ColumbiaUniversity in New YorkCity conducted telephoneinterviews with 1,139women with newly diag-

nosed breast cancer, stagesI, II, and III, obtaining abaseline at about two tothree months after diagno-sis regarding how they felt,with further follow-up atfour months after diagno-sis, and a second follow-up at six months afterdiagnosis.

Traumatic stress wasmeasured using an inter-view tool called the Impactof Events Scale.

The researchers found

that 23 percent of partici-pants reported symptomsconsistent with a diagnosisof PTSD at their baselineinterview, 16.5 percent atfirst follow-up and 12.6percent at the second follow-up.

Persistent PTSD, de-fined as having PTSD attwo consecutive inter-views, was observedamong 12.1 percent of par-ticipants. PTSD was devel-oped by 6.6 percent of

participants without PTSDat baseline. And PTSD wasassociated with: a youngerage at diagnosis, beingblack or being Asian.

What this all means is atsome point in time,roughly 25 percent ofwomen diagnosed withbreast cancer will experi-ence signs and symptomsconsistent with PTSD, andwe need to look for this inall of our patients.

Yes, nearly one-quarter

of women newly diagnosedwith breast cancer re-ported symptoms consis-tent with PTSD shortlyafter diagnosis, with in-creased risk among blackand Asian women. Andthis is not the only cancerdiagnosis associated withthis risk.

As physicians, we mustlook for these changes andsymptoms, and treat andrefer as needed for care.

with antibiotic treatment.This is a very aggressive

form of breast cancer andtends to spread outside thebreast very quickly. In-flammatory breast cancerprogresses rapidly, oftenin a matter of weeks ormonths. Since it always in-volves the skin of the

breast, it is treated withchemotherapy first, fol-lowed by surgery and radi-ation therapy to the chestwall.

The patient may or maynot have a lump in thebreast, and so a mammo-gram may be negative inspite of cancer.

Approximately 1 per-cent to 5 percent of breastcancers can be the inflam-matory type. It carries apoorer prognosis than the

regular variety of breastcancer. This is because italways involves the skin,and so it is at least stageIIIB (out of a total fourstages) at the time of diag-nosis.

Women with stage IIIdisease have a better prog-nosis than women withstage IV disease.

Among women whohave stage III inflamma-tory breast cancer, about40 percent survive at least

five years after their diag-nosis, whereas amongwomen with stage IV in-flammatory breast cancer,only about 11 percent sur-vive for at least five yearsafter their diagnosis.

For my patient, I did aPET/CT scan and it did notshow any evidence ofmetastatic disease — soshe has a chance of cure. Istarted the patient onchemotherapy and she istolerating the treatment

very well. Her redness in the

breast has disappeared.This is an excellent sign.

She will finishchemotherapy shortly andthen will need surgery.She will also need XRT tothe breast. Since her can-cer was hormone-receptorpositive, she will benefitfrom adjuvant hormonetherapy.

She will need close fol-low-up, but I am very opti-

mistic for a good long-termprognosis for her.

hearing loss was within 24hours of the dose. In 2012, astudy of about 200 casesworldwide was reported,most of them occurring inthe U.S. because of thepropensity of prescriptionsin the U.S., and cited a di-rect correlation to the drugand damage to the innerear. Of these episodes ofhearing loss, one-third re-main permanent, one-third

are partial hearing loss andone-third are temporary.

There are other causesof sudden hearing loss,and they include: headtrauma, such as motorcy-cle or motor vehicle acci-dents, or assaults; andinfections of the inner ear.The most common is aviral type of infection.Also, conditions where apatient is gravely ill andhas serious infections thatnecessitate the use of in-travenous antibiotics cancause sudden hearing loss.

Men older than 56 were

cited most commonly inthese studies. Believe it ornot, there were even somefemale patients who werecited in these studiesworldwide, as erectile dys-function drugs are some-times used for othermedical problems.

The vast majority oftimes it was only one earas well. Half the time thedrug was Viagra; generic issildenafil. The remaining50 percent of the time itwas Cialis, generic istadalafil; Levitra, genericis vardenafil; and lastly a

drug called Revatio. Thisis a drug used for a condi-tion called pulmonary ar-terial hypertension.

Basically, erectile dys-function drugs are whatthey call PDE-5 inhibitors.PDE is the abbreviationfor phosphodiesterase.The biological mechanismis that the drug increasesthe size of blood vessels,thus increasing blood flowto the penis for erectilepurposes, but also increas-ing blood flow to the innerear, where it engorges anddamages the inner ear

membrane. A byproduct ofnitrous oxide is formed,and nitrous oxide is knownto be toxic to the inner ear.

Other symptoms associ-ated with sudden hearingloss include tinnitus, ornoise in the ear, dizziness,vertigo and loss of balance.But the primary problemis a sudden hearing loss inone ear.

As we get older, thechances for hearing lossincrease due to age andnoise-exposure issues inpast experiences, and as Imentioned there are other

causes for sudden hearingloss. But clearly what is be-coming evident is that yourchance for sudden hearingloss doubles if you useerectile dysfunction drugs,and there is a significantchance the hearing losswill be permanent.

It was “A Bad Year for Tomatoes”out at the Art Center last week-end, as the theater group of vol-

unteer thespians presented a playthat portrayed what happens in asmall town when a celebrity tries tobe incognito. It just doesn’t happen.

Running weekends through April21, this is a must-see for those whoenjoy lighthearted, fun-filled com-edy that presents larger-than-lifescenarios with gusto. Call the box of-fice at 352-746-7606 for tickets.

Written by John Patrick,it was directed by DavidEaster, a seasoned award-winning actor, who, havingperformed in more than 60Citrus County productions,is one of the most faithfulsupporters of theater, hisforemost interest.

While attempting to getaway from the proverbialhustle and bustle of a de-manding, stress-filled ca-reer as a popular actress,Pam Schreck, as actressMyra Marlowe, seeks out the smallNew England town of BeaverHaven, to grow tomatoes and writeher autobiography.

Schreck’s mastery of the charac-ter Myra is magnificent. She is Myra,a beleaguered actress on the runfrom a lifestyle that has become in-creasingly tiresome.

She longs for a quiet respite and achance to be alone and at one withan affinity to the earth.

Myra, actress that she is, in des-peration for solitude, dons a wig andappears as her demented sister,Sadie, with scissors to cut off heads.

Alan Stuart, as Tom Lamont, herfaithful agent, though doubtful thatshe can pull it off, is supportive to apoint. A star performer in the formerPlayhouse 19 production “JesusChrist Superstar,” his Art Centershows include “Old Wine in a NewBottle.” The chemistry between Stu-art and Schreck reveals perfect cast-ing that has been the hallmark at theArt Center Theater since itsinception.

Lovable, yet annoying, star-struckneighbors, though wellmeaning, captured ourhearts each time theyappeared as we antici-pated their next out-landish effort to offerunwanted assistance tothe famous actress. It’sWendy Chesnovitz at herbest as the sometimessnooty, sometimes en-dearing, often inquisi-tive Cora Gump.

Libby Marsh, encour-aged by stage manager

Jim Wellborn, has returned to thestage after being involved at StageWest in Hernando and as a class-room teacher. She joins in the trio’srepeated impositions upon Myra’squest for solitude. As Reba Harper,her star quality is shinning.

Memorable performances by Do-lores Elwood come to mind as sheperforms yet another character toperfection as Willa Mae Wilcox, themysterious one, who is intrigued byout-of-this-world experiences and,at best, just wants to help Myra.

We recall her stellar perform-ances in “Moon Over Buffalo,” “Lost

in Yonkers” and my personal fa-vorite, “Kind Lady.”

Gary Ammerman, as the slow-moving, slow-talking, slightly dim-witted backwoods handyman Piney,drew giggles line after line, as he hi-lariously grew to be enamored bythe imaginary sister Sadie that Myraconstrues to ward off the imposingnosy neighbors, including Piney.

Although a brief role as the sheriffwas accepted by Jim Boyle, a retiredpsychotherapist, he is a welcome ad-dition to the Art Center’s team ofplayers.

His New York 1960s and ’70s TVperformances included “GuidingLight” and “General Hospital” andthe film, “Love is a Many Splen-dored Thing.”

As Myra searches for somethingreal in Beaver Haven, she neverimagined the chaos that would un-ravel as the self-appointed hospital-ity ladies appear time and again, notto leave out Piney, appearing withan axe to cut wood for the fireplace,who also traps skunks and butchershogs.

Elwood, as Willa Mae, readspalms and champions séances andadds to a most delightful mix of may-hem.

Truly a great entertainmentvenue, a treasured jewel, is the ArtCenter Theater.

Aristotle said, “All human actions have one ormore of these seven causes: chance, nature,compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.”

At the bridge table, you desire to make orbreak the contract, using reasoning and varioushabits — hopefully all good. And sometimes youhave to go for any chance that you have.

In this deal, West has to decide what to dowhen defending against one no-trump. He leadshis fourth-highest diamond. South takes East’snine with his king and plays the spade queen.West ducks, but is in with his ace at trick three.What should West do now?

An aggressive East would have made a three-club weak jump overcall on the first round.Then South would probably have made a nega-tive double, giving North a headache. The win-ning action would have been to pass, whichwould have netted 100 or 300.

If East had balanced over one no-trump witha two-club bid, South would presumably havecontinued with two spades, which would haveprobably ended down one after the diamond-nine lead from East.

Who has the diamond jack?It must be South — do not be fooled by his

falsecard at trick one. East was playing thirdhand high and the best he could do was the nine.Similarly, South has the diamond ace, givingSouth 10 high-card points. So, if West leads an-other diamond, South must take at least ninetricks.

The only chance for the defense is to run theclubs. West must shift to his club king and con-tinue with his second club. Here, East and Westtake one spade and six clubs for down one.

Dear Too Old: You cannotforce your parents and sib-lings to behave in a civilizedmanner. The pattern in yourfamily seems fairly well set,and no one else has much in-terest in changing it. You aresmart to realize that yourchoice is to stay or leave.

Calmly explain to your fam-ily why you are walking out (ornot attending), and make noapologies. We commend youfor recognizing this dysfunc-tion and not transmitting it toyour children. But please con-

sider letting the children seesome of the relatives one-on-one, under your supervision.Kids are extremely tolerant ofaberrant behavior in familymembers and can understand“this is how Grandma is” with-

out emulating her.Dear Annie:

“Michael” and I area young gay couplepondering mar-riage. Gay marriageis not performed inour state, and werealize it would notbe recognized here.It’s the principle ofthe thing.

A courthousevenue seems themost feasible, and Iam wonderingwhom to invite.

Michael’s parentsand siblings would most cer-tainly be there, but I don’tknow what to do about myside. I have no siblings, andmy parents are divorced.

Mom is fully supportive, butmy father doesn’t know I’mgay. I would prefer not tellinghim in order to avoid a conflict.

My father would probablynever find out that Michaeland I are married if I don’t tellhim myself. But if he did learnabout it, he’d be upset.

Then again, he’d also beupset to learn that I’m gettingmarried. Should I tell him?

Also, because my guest list islimited, should I invite bestfriends? — A Ring on It

Dear Ring: We think youshould tell your father, notonly because keeping secretscan erode relationships, butalso because you should notbe hiding who you are.

If you are mature enough to

marry, it’s time to handle thefallout from your father.

As for your guest list, invitethose people you want to haveas witnesses to your union,provided you can afford to doso.

Dear Annie: This is a re-sponse to “Feeling the Void inIndiana.” It was pretty brazenof him to claim to speak for allmen when he said we feel in-complete without sex.

I’ll admit that is true for a lotof men, but certainly not all.

I’m a healthy 30-year-oldman with all the normal bio-logical urges. I also haven’tbeen in a romantic relation-ship in years and am com-pletely sexually inactive —and I feel fine about it.

That’s because I put my en-ergy into other things likeworking out and enjoying out-door activities. And I have afew friends who are as OKwithout sex as I am.

Sex is not the be-all andend-all of human existence.

As a last note, any man whocheats on his wife or girlfriendis a cad, whatever feeble ex-cuses he comes up with. — Ab-stinent and OK with It
