WASHINGTON —About half the people whonow buy their own healthinsurance — and poten-tially would face higherpremiums next yearunder President BarackObama’s health care law— would qualify for fed-eral tax credits to offsetrate shock, according to anew private study.

Many other people,however, earn too muchmoney to be eligible forhelp, and could end uppaying more.

The estimate, being re-leased Wednesday by thenonpartisan Kaiser Fam-ily Foundation, tries to an-swer one of the biggestremaining questionsabout the impact ofObama’s law on Americanfamilies: Will consumerswince — or even balk —when they see the premi-ums for the new plans?

The study found that 48percent of families cur-rently buying their owncoverage would be eligi-ble for tax credits nextyear, averaging $5,548 perfamily, or 66 percent of theaverage cost of a bench-mark “silver” policy of-fered through new state

insurance markets.“About half of the peo-

ple won’t be paying thesticker price,” said GaryClaxton, director of thehealth care marketplaceproject at Kaiser, an infor-mation clearinghouse onthe health care system.“The people who get helpwill get quite a lot of help.

“Many, but certainly notall, of the people whodon’t get tax credits willpay more,” he said. “How

much more will be a func-tion of a lot of differentthings.”

For example, some peo-ple who don’t qualify fortax credits may get jobsthat offer coverage, addedClaxton, a co-author of thestudy. And the bottom lineon premiums may not beclear until sometime thisfall, after the Health andHuman Services Depart-ment releases rates formore than 30 states where

the federal government istaking the lead setting upnew insurance marketsfor individuals and smallbusinesses.

People can enroll start-ing Oct. 1, and coveragebecomes effective Jan. 1.Most people currentlycovered by employerplans are not affected.

The law is likely to in-crease the sticker pricefor individually pur-chased coverage next year

for several reasons:■ Insurers will have to

cover people with pre-existing medical condi-tions, whose needs arecostlier to provide for.

■ Policies must providecertain standard benefits,including prescriptiondrugs, mental health andsubstance abuse treat-ment and rehabilitativeservices.

Board shelves Thorpe’s retirementMIKE WRIGHT

Staff writer

INVERNESS — Citrus County com-missioners voted 3-2 Tuesday night toallow Brad Thorpe to un-retire.

Thorpe, the county administrator whoannounced his retirement in May, saidhe would stay on the job as long as he’swanted.

“I will tell you, if my health is good andthe board wants me, I’ll stay as long as Ican,” Thorpe said. “The board may notwant me in the future. That’s the risk Itake as an administrator.”

Commissioners Dennis Damato, J.J.Kenney and Chairman Joe Meek saidThorpe is a valuable asset to the county.

“If we have an opportunity to keep Mr.

Thorpe on board, weshould jump on that,”Meek said.

Commissioners ScottAdams and RebeccaBays wanted the boardto continue with theprocess of findingThorpe’s replacement.

“It’s nothing to do withBrad as a person,” Bayssaid. “I’m going to sepa-rate business from per-sonal friendship. It’s notthat he doesn’t have a heart for it. His di-rection and my direction are polar opposites.”

SILVER SPRINGS —Scientists have uncovereda treasure trove of buriedmaterials in SilverSprings’ crystal-clear waters.

The Ocala Star-Bannerreported University ofFlorida experts estimatethey’ve uncovered some10,000 artifacts, mostly an-cient tools and “lithic deb-itage,” or the sharp flakesleft behind during themaking of arrows andspear tips.

The archaeologists sur-veying the property saidthe findings could land Sil-ver Springs on the roster ofAmerica’s most histori-cally significant venues.

The survey was man-dated by the Florida De-partment of Environ -mental Protection’s dealwith Palace Entertain-ment, which in Januarywas granted an early exitfrom its lease so SilverSprings could become astate park. The transitionrequired an archaeologi-cal survey.

this comingwinter

A.B. SIDIBEStaff writer

The annual win-ter, man-led migration ofwhooping

cranes to the Chassa-howitzka NationalWildlife Refuge wascanceled for the sec-ond year in a row.

But unlike last year,this year’s cancellationis due to budgetary issues.

Michael Lusk, themanager of the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Serv-ices’ Crystal River Na-tional Wildlife Refugecomplex, said the fed-eral sequester willmake it impossible tobring the cranes here.The cranes will insteadwinter in St. Marks

Due to a lack of funding, the ultralight aircraft flight leading

the endangered whooping cranes to the

Chassahowitzka National Wildlife

Refuge will not occurthis year.

E-learning is changinghigher education.

While it is also calledonline learning or distancelearning, accessing higher ed-ucation through the Internethas caught on at the College ofCentral Florida.

“For the 2012-13 academicyear, 62 percent of our studentstook at least one e-learningcourse,” said CF Vice Presi-dent Vernon Lawter, who over-sees the Citrus campus.“E-learning has grown over200 percent in the past five ac-ademic years.”

He said 30 percent of thefull-time equivalent studentswere generated through dis-tance learning and the collegeput out 890 distance learningsections — equivalent to a groupof students in a classroom.

He said they have a growingpopulation of students whoprefer courses online and lastyear CF experienced double-digit growth in e-learning. Inresponse, the college can addsections when enrollmentshows additional demand.

E-learning comes in twoforms; one involves total on-line content. The other, not aspopular at CF, is a hybrid,

using a mix of in-person andonline course work.

The Florida College System,which includes CF and 27other schools, reported 33.1percent of students were en-rolled in an online/distancecourse for 2010-11. Its goal is36.2 percent by 2017-18.

“We really are in the middleof an e-learning revolution, notjust at CF, but worldwide,”Lawter said. “Most traditionalstudents have grown up in adigital world.”

He said it gives studentsmore options for accessinghigher education with certainadvantages. Students can workat their own pace, without hav-ing to travel to attend classes.

“All the research capabili-ties are right there,” he added.“The world is digital — it’s ahuge advantage.” But he gavea caveat: “E-learning studentsneed to be more self-motivated.”

That concept is not lost onRachel Baril. The CitrusCounty resident works part-time at CF’s Citrus campus li-brary, but is a full-time onlinestudent at Saint Leo Univer-sity. She is working on herbachelor of arts degree in psy-chology. She said the programworks well for her because shecannot get to the main campus.

Baril is taking condensed

courses, which accelerates thepace.

“You had to hit the groundrunning,” she said.

She said online learning isnot difficult from the stand-point of computer use. But sherecommends anyone lackingrecent skills might benefitfrom a basic computer course.

She noted while you work atyour own pace, it’s importantto know when to take a break.

She said a lot of students usethe library for online coursework or catching up on home-work for other classes.

Baril said she can use theonline library catalog for re-search and even order fromthe bookstore online and havetextbooks sent to her. She

plans on graduating in sum-mer 2014.

Online courses for credithave the same tuition structureas traditional courses. Andwhile it seems e-learningwould be cheaper to offer, itpresents it own cost structure.Lawter explained it requires ahuge investment in technologyand support for the faculty.Students also need a resourceperson to contact and CFmaintains a help desk.

There is greater demand foronline student services andmore demands on the testingcenter.

He said the expansion of e-learning has been a challengethe college embraced. It is cur-rently developing an e-learningstrategic plan.

Both CF and state figuresshow there is virtually no dif-ference in student successrates between online andclassroom learning. And statecollege students can access on-line courses from schools.

“We’re saying as an institu-tion, e-learning is an option atCentral Florida College, not areplacement,” Lawter said.“It’s just another improve-ment, an option for access.”

Special to the Chronicle

The Citrus County Property Ap-praiser’s office on Monday mailed the2013 Truth In Millage (TRIM) notices.

The TRIM notice contains importantinformation describing three tax sce-narios on Page 1. Each column containstwo subsets of figures, millage rates andthe tax levy for each taxing authority.Column 1 reports last year’s actualtaxes, column 2 reports possible taxesbased on rollback millage rates and col-umn 3 reports taxes based upon pro-posed budgets for 2013-14. During theirfinal budget hearings, the taxing author-ities may only choose to adopt a finalmillage rate as reported in column 3 orreduce it — but they may not go higher.Therefore, column 3 is the highestamount that a taxpayer will see on theirNovember tax bill (not including special assessments that are reportedseparately).

The TRIM notices are also availableat http://www.pa.citrus.fl.us.

Millage rates and tax levies are the re-sponsibility of each of the taxing au-

thorities. Phone numbers are includedin the notice for those who have ques-tions concerning the tax rate or taxamount. Dates and time of budget pub-lic hearings are also listed. If available,certain non-ad valorem assessments are also shown on Page 1 of the TRIMnotice.

The public shouldremember that while the fire fee will notappear on your TRIM notice, it will ap-pear on your November tax bill. Anyonewith questions regarding the fire serv-ices MSBU fee should call 352-341-2151.

The property appraiser’s office canhelp answer value questions. A trainedstaff appraiser’s telephone number is lo-cated midway on Page 2 of the TRIM no-tice. For 25 days from the issuance of theTRIM notice, values can be discussedand issues resolved informally untilSept. 6, 2013.

■ Policyholders’ annualout-of-pocket costs will becapped.

So far, premiums re-ported by a number of in-dividual states have beencoming in lower than ini-tially projected by the Con-gressional Budget Office.But they are higher — ac-cording to industry andconsultants — than whatpeople now pay for indi-vidual plans, which tend tobe bare-bones coverage.

However, the law alsowill pump in billions of dol-lars in federal tax credits tohelp the uninsured pay

premiums — and ease costincreases for many who arecurrently buying theskimpy individual policies.The money will go directlyto the insurance plan, andpolicyholders will pay thedifference — a discountedsticker price, in effect.

The tax credits, availableon a sliding scale based onfamily income, will be of-fered to people who don’thave access to affordablecoverage through their jobsand buy policies throughthe new state markets.

Those making between100-400 percent of the fed-eral poverty level — be-tween $11,500 and $46,000for an individual and$23,550 and $94,200 for afamily of four — are eligi-

ble for some level of help.Families on the low end ofthe scale will pay 2 per-cent of their income for abenchmark plan, whilethose on the upper endwill pay 9.5 percent.

It’s expected that a clearmajority of customers inthe new markets will be el-igible for tax credits. That’sbecause the pool will alsoinclude uninsured people,who tend to have lower in-comes than those who cancurrently afford to buytheir own coverage.

The share will vary fromstate to state.

HHS Secretary Kath-leen Sebelius recently es-timated that in Texas, asmany as 9 in 10 peoplebuying coverage in the

new market will get abreak on costs.

People with individualcoverage they buy them-selves represent a smallsliver of those with privateinsurance, only about 5percent to 6 percent.

That’s expected to growsignificantly underObama’s law, which willrequire most uninsuredAmericans to get coverage.

Estimates of the numberof people who currentlyhave individual coveragerange as high as 19 million,but Claxton said theKaiser study used asmaller estimate of about10 million. It’s based on anongoing government sur-vey that some researchersregard as more accurate.

Waterfront district plan unveiledA.B. SIDIBE

Staff writer

CRYSTAL RIVER — Cityleaders sought and got directionabout a slice of waterfront realestate that has lain dormantwithout development for morethan four decades.

A consultant the CommunityRedevelopment Agency (CRA)hired a few months ago unveiledthe Waterfront District MasterPlan on Monday.

The blueprint for drummingup business development in thearea, according to consultantTom Kohler of Real Estate Re-search Consultants, has a fewkey points to it:

■ Develop a cohesivestormwater management system— an attractive retention pondfor the area to collect and filterany runoff from businesses be-fore it empties into the bay.

■ Increase the maximumbuilding height allowance from50 feet to somewhere between

60 and 70 feet. “It shouldn’t have to be by

much,” Kohler said.■ Change the land-use rules to

relax the requirements aboutonsite permeability from 35 to15. Permeability has to do withthe ratio of area on a piece ofproperty that can be used forstormwater retention and whatcan be built on.

■ Build condos and hotelswith waterfront views.

■ Build a traffic-calming me-dian on U.S. 19 and a gateway atCitrus Avenue to announce thecity’s hub.

■ Drop the requirement aboutevery piece of property havingon-site parking, and instead en-courage pooled parking.

Then Kohler added perhapsthe most controversial sugges-tion — build the much-talked-about and long-anticipatedwaterfront boardwalk based onwhat the market dictates.

“If you build, they would notnecessarily come. Let the market

dictate how it is built,” he said.Kohler would like to see indi-

vidual investors or propertyowners pay for a share of build-ing stretches of the proposedbayfront boardwalk.

City Manager Andy Houstonpreceded Kohler by lamentingthe lack of development in thewaterfront district.

Last April, Houston suggestedto the city council — whichserves as the CRA board — thata consultant be hired to offeropinions on how to best get thatarea primed for developmentand attract businesses.

All council members praisedKohler’s presentation. Council-man Ken Brown said he has noproblems with building heightlimits being raised in the com-mercial corridor of U.S. 19.

Joe Chrietzberg, a longtimecity resident and advocate forwhat he calls dynamic change inthe city, implored the leaders toact sooner than later to imple-ment the suggestions.

“Don’t get bogged down inminutiae,” Chrietzberg said.“Keep your eye on the big picture.”

Businessman Daryl Seaton,whose hotel anchors the northend of the proposed boardwalk,said while he liked most of thesuggestions, he didn’t like theprovision of having propertyowners contributing to buildingthe boardwalk.

“In effect, you are holding theboardwalk hostage,” Seaton said.

If property owners refuse toparticipate, there would bedocks in a place intended tohave a boardwalk and water-front access to businesses, hesaid.

Gerry Mulligan, who spoke onbehalf of the Chamber of Com-merce’s area council, echoedSeaton’s concerns about theboardwalk suggestion, but oth-erwise liked the other sugges-tions. Mulligan also is thepublisher of the Chronicle.

During the city council meet-

ing, council members:■ Approved the city’s annual

contract with the Citrus CountySheriff ’s Office.

■ Heard about the latestcrime numbers from the sher-iff ’s office’s west-side com-mander Capt. Danny Linhart.

■ Heard an annual reportfrom Janet Mulligan, chair-woman of the city’s WaterfrontsAdvisory Board;

■ Approved a courtesy meas-ure to reimburse Crystal RiverFire Department volunteer fire-fighters who reside outside thecity limits the amount of thecounty MSBU fire fee. Thirteenof the 16 firefighters live outsidecity lines;

■ Approved a measure toname the boardwalk currentlyunder construction at the Acad-emy of Environmental Scienceproperty the “Gary MaidhofWalk to Nature.”

For the RECORD

Commissioner RebeccaBays and CommissionerScott Adams gave differentreasons for not supportingthe motion to approve thetraining.

Bays said FEMA is brokefrom Hurricane Katrinaand the training would addexpenses to flood-insurance policies. She saidthe agency used a great deal of funding on beach renourishment.

“I can’t support this be-cause of what’s going onwith FEMA,” Bays said.

Adams said the training isnot mandatory andthat restoring serv-ices after an emer-gency amounts tousing commonsense. He said thepersonnel sentaway on trainingwould not be doingtheir regular work.

County Adminis-trator Brad Thorpesaid all senior staffhad to be certifiedfor the county to get reim-bursements in the event ofan emergency.

Commissioner DennisDamato said the training islike buying an insurancepolicy in case of an emer-gency, that staff would betrained to get roads clearedand services restored assoon as possible.

Citrus County Council

president Theodora Rus-nak asked what the conse-quence would be for notparticipating in the training.

Commission ChairmanJoe Meek said, “It’s not anissue until it’s obviously anissue and that is that in themiddle of an emergencyyou know what you aredoing.”

Rusnak asked if the train-ing had any effect on costrecovery. Adams said it wasnot mandatory, so it had nostrings attached.

Along with other speak-ers from the public, Rusnakpointed out that trainingshould be available throughInternet teleconferences so

that county employ-ees do not have totravel and be awayfrom their jobs.

Meek said thecounty has to beprepared, althoughthat it was unfortu-nate how FEMA of-fered the training.

■ Adams singledout an item on theconsent agenda toappoint Assistant

County AdministratorCathy Pearson as the deten-tion facility contract moni-tor.

“I feel that it’s over Ms.Pearson’s head,” Adamssaid, and explained hisopinion was based in theway a consultant was ap-proved for a Tourist Devel-opment Council contract.He recommended Water

Resources DirectorKen Cheek instead.

Meek respondedthat Pearson ismore than qualified.

“She is in no wayin over her head,”Meek said.

The board voted4-1 to appoint Pearson.

■ During publiccomment time, Harvey Ger-ber, president of the Bev-erly Hills RecreationAssociation, asked for twochanges to the vacant prop-erty registry ordinance re-garding dealing withbroken windows and heightof grass.

For safety purposes,banks should be required toreplace broken windows onhomes they hold title towith clear Plexiglass ratherthan board them with ply-wood, Gerber said. Plywoodon windows indicates a va-cant house that can attractillegal activity and posesrisks to law enforcementpersonnel unable to see insuch a house to check on it.

Allowing a grass height of18 inches lets banks refrainfrom mowing as frequentlyas needed for the safety ofkeeping insects and verminaway from occupied homes,Gerber said. He recom-mended a maximum heightof 10 inches.

“It is not typicalthat a BU would goon the TRIM noticethe first year of itscreation,” an-swered County At-torney Richard

When Thorpe an-nounced his retirement inMay, he promised to stayon the job until his re-placement was hired.

Twenty-eight applicants,including two top countyofficials and an assistantsuperintendent of schools,applied for the county ad-ministrator’s job.

Board members hadplanned to whittle the listdown to five finalists to interview.

Meek, however,said last week thatThorpe had re-thought retirementand was offering tostay if board mem-bers wanted himto.

Meek, Damatoand Kenneyjumped at theoffer.

Scott says state will sueGeorgia about water

Associated Press

APALACHICOLA —Florida Gov. Rick Scottdisclosed Tuesday that hisstate is going to sue thestate of Georgia, saying itsincreased consumption ofwater is limitingflows to theA p a l a c h i c o l aRiver.

Scott said in astatement thatFlorida must takesuch drastic actionbecause it hasbeen unable to ne-gotiate a settle-ment in recentdecades on how toallocate water be-tween Florida,Georgia and Alabama.Florida’s step is an escala-tion in years of litigation.

“This lawsuit will betargeted toward one thing— fighting for the futureof Apalachicola,” Scottsaid. “This is a bold, his-toric legal action for ourstate. But this is our onlyway forward after 20

years of failed negotia-tions with Georgia. Wemust fight for the peopleof this region. The eco-nomic future ofApalachicola Bay andNorthwest Florida is atstake.”

In the past,Florida has suedthe Army Corps of Engineers,which manages theApalachico la -Chattahoochee-Flint river system.But a recent rulingwent againstFlorida in its pushto limit Georgia’swithdrawals. Muchof the problemcomes from metro

Atlanta taking water fromLake Lanier, a major reser-voir on the ChattahoocheeRiver near that city.

Florida’s oyster indus-try has seen a near col-lapse in the last two yearsbecause of reduced waterflow and because ofdrought.

Earlier in the day, U.S.

Sens. Marco Rubio andBill Nelson held a U.S.Senate field hearingwhere they heard aboutthe impact that droughtand reduced water flowshave had on ApalachicolaBay.

The federal govern-ment a day earlier de-clared a fishery disasterfor those who harvest oys-ters out of the Gulf of Mex-ico. A federal officialtestified that would makeoystermen eligible for aidshould Congress agree tosuch relief.

Oystermen told the sen-ators that people are leav-ing the area because thehuge decline in oysterharvests. They com-plained that Georgia istaking more than its “fairshare” of fresh water fromthe river system that feedsthe bay.

BUFFALO, N.Y. —Richard Zuehlke was un-packing a box of donatedhousehold miscellany atthe Goodwill store wherehe works when he cameacross a gold-trimmedblack case. Inside was aPurple Heart.

Such an honor shouldn’tjust be floating around, hethought. Another passthrough the box yielded asepia-toned portrait ofPvt. James E. Roland,whose name was en-graved on the medal.

Zuehlke’s bossesagreed the thrift store wasno place for an honorposthumously awarded toRoland for military meritduring World War II.

After a Facebook postand some dogged deter-mination on the part of aPatriot Guard Rider who

saw it, the medal will soonbe back where it belongs— with Roland’s family intiny Westover, Pa., the for-mer mining town wherehe’s buried.

How it wound up at aGoodwill 200 miles away,though, remains anyone’sguess.

“It seemed like it mayhave been mailed to some-body,” said Buffalo-areaPatriot Guard coordinatorLinda Hastreiter, whobegan looking for Roland’srelatives after learning ofthe Facebook post.

“For 69 years it’s beensomewhere,” Hastreitersaid.

She began searchingimmediately. Nearly amonth later she trackeddown Mary Roland Stru-ble, a distant cousin andWestover’s mayor.

Hastreiter and othermembers of the military

advocacy group will re-ceive the medal fromGoodwill in Buffalo onTuesday. Riders on motor-cycles will escort it fromDuBois, Pa., to the ceme-tery on Saturday andpresent it to Struble atRoland’s gravesite.

“This is just totallyamazing. It makes mevery proud,” Struble saidby phone Monday.

Hastreiter first lookedfor relatives in New Yorkbefore using the Internet tofind that he was buried inWestover. She called thehalf-dozen Rolands shecould find in the town of688 people, eventually con-necting with the mayor.

Struble, who said herfamily has a long historyof military service, had known about Pvt.Roland from the town’s1990 sesquicentennial celebration.

This photo shows Pvt. James Roland and the Purple Heart medal he earned servingin World War II. The medal was found in June by Goodwill employee Richard Zuehlkewhile unpacking donations. The medal will be presented to Roland’s cousin, MaryRoland Struble, on Saturday, Aug. 17, during a ceremony in Westover, Pa.

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Major stock indexeseked out small gains Tuesday after an up-turn in technology companies out-weighed weakness in other parts of themarket, including a drop in airlines.

The gain in technology stocks wasdriven by Apple. The technology com-pany surged after billionaire investorCarl Icahn said on Twitterthat he held a large posi-tion in Apple and that itsstock was undervalued.

August is shaping up tobe a lackluster month forthe stock market as majorindexes fail to add signifi-cantly to the gains theymade in July. The Stan-dard & Poor’s 500 indexhas drifted lower, fluctuat-ing between small lossesand gains, since closing atan all-time high Aug. 2.

A sharp rise in Treasuryyields also rippled throughthe stock market on Tuesday.

The yield on the 10-yearnote climbed to 2.72 percent, close to itshighest in two years, on the latest signsthat Europe is emerging from its reces-sion. Industrial production in the 17countries that use the euro rose in Juneand investor confidence increased inGermany, the region’s biggest economy.

The sharp rise in yields lifted financial

companies because higher interest ratescould help them generate better profitmargins. That helped offset declines inhomebuilders and other stocks that aresensitive to rising borrowing costs.

The yield is also climbing on specula-tion that the Federal Reserve will cut itsstimulus as the economy recovers. At-lanta Fed President Dennis Lockhartsaid Tuesday that it was too early to say

when the bank would easeback on its stimulus, buthinted that it would likelyhappen before the end ofthe year.

Homebuilder stocks slidon concern that mortgagerates will climb, raising thecost of buying a home andpotentially blunting a re-covery in the housing mar-ket. The stocks of phonecompanies and utilitiesthat typically pay big divi-dends also fell. Thosestocks have been slumpingas Treasury yields haverisen, because some in-vestors had been buyingthem as an alternative to

bonds as a source of investment income.Airline stocks slumped after the federal

government challenged the proposedmerger of US Airways and American Air-lines, a deal between two of the largestcarriers. The government said the dealwould result in “substantial harm to con-sumers” in higher fares and fees.

Stock market ekes outsmall gains; Apple climbs

Homebuilderstocks slid onconcern that

mortgage rateswill climb, raising

the cost of buying a homeand potentially

blunting a recovery in thehousing market.

Investors are rethinking their bond strategies. In July, they pulled money out of taxable bond

mutual funds for a second straight month. That’s the first time that’s happened since late 2008. Investors withdrew an estimated $9 billion, following a net $44 billion in June.

Bondholders are waiting for guidance on whether the Federal Reserve could start scaling back its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases as soon as September. The Fed’s stimulus has helped keep long-term interest rates low. Rising interest rates hurt bondholders because their previously issued bonds fall in value. Those bonds pay a lower yield so their prices decline.

The yield on the 10-year

Treasury note has risen a full percentage point since May, fueled in part by speculation over the Fed. The rise in interest rates has led to losses for many bond funds. The Pimco Total Return fund, the world’s largest mutual fund at $261 billion, is down 3.6 percent over the past three months.

Municipal bond funds also continue to post net withdrawals. Investors are concerned about a budget proposal by President Obama that would cap the amount of muni-bond income that an individual can claim as exempt from federal taxes. The city of Detroit filing for bankruptcy raised even more concerns. Muni-bond funds have recorded monthly net withdrawals since March.

Investors have steadily pulled money out of bond mutual funds since the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose above 2 percent in late May.

Business HIGHLIGHTSEurozone turning a corner as recession set to end

LONDON — The recession that’s grippedthe eurozone since late 2011 is likely over.

On Wednesday official figures are expectedto show that economic growth among the 17countries that use the euro inched up 0.2 per-cent in the April-June quarter compared withthe previous quarter.

The increase is slight. But it would end sixstraight quarters of a debilitating recession —the longest to afflict the single-currency blocsince its creation in 1999.

Air pollution takes toll on China’s tourism

BEIJING — China, one of the most visitedcountries in the world, has seen sharply fewertourists this year — with worsening air pollu-tion partly to blame.

Numbers of foreign visitors have declinedfollowing January’s “Airpocalypse,” when al-ready eye-searing levels of smog soared tonew highs.

Tourists have been put off by news aboutsmog and other problems, said Frano Ilic oftravel agency Studiosus in Munich, Germany.He said the number of people booking trips toChina through his company has fallen 16 per-cent this year.

Ackman gone, but Penney’s problems remainPLANO, Texas — The boardroom drama

may be over, but J.C. Penney is still grapplingwith an uncertain future.

William Ackman has resigned from J.C. Penney’sboard as part of a deal to resolve an unusuallypublic battle between the activist investor andthe struggling department store operator.

Ackman’s departure provides some short-term relief from a distraction for Penney whileit tries to fix its ailing business and as the cru-cial back-to-school selling season heats up.

Icahn tells Apple CEO to buy back more stock

NEW YORK — Billionaire investor CarlIcahn said Apple should buy back more stock.

Icahn said on Twitter Tuesday that he spokewith Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook and told himthe computer company’s stock buyback needsto be boosted immediately. Icahn character-ized the talk as a “nice conversation” and saidhe and Cook plan to speak again soon.

Icahn tweeted that he has a large positionin Apple and believes the company’s stock is“extremely undervalued.”

Average credit card debt per borrower dips in Q2

LOS ANGELES — Americans remain stingyabout carrying credit card balances and aremaking more of an effort to make timely pay-ments, trends that have helped whittle the rateof late payments on credit cards down to thelowest level in nearly 20 years.

The rate of credit card payments at least 90 days overdue fell in the second quarter to 0.57 percent. That’s the lowest level since1994, credit reporting agency TransUnion said Tuesday.

The April-June card delinquency rate de-clined from 0.63 percent in the same periodlast year, and also was down from 0.69 per-cent in the first three months of the year.

Chipotle considering changeto allow antibiotics

NEW YORK — Chipotle Mexican Grill is re-viewing a change to start using beef that hasbeen treated with antibiotics, but said no deci-sion has yet been made on the matter.

The Denver-based chain stressed in apress release Tuesday that its beef, chickenand pork continues to come from animals thatare not given antibiotics or added hormoneswhenever possible. But it said it’s consideringtweaking its “responsibly raised” meat stan-dards to allow meat from animals that havebeen given antibiotics to treat illnesses.

Coke to defend safety of aspartame in new ad

NEW YORK — Coca-Cola plans to run itsfirst ad defending the safety of artificial sweet-eners on Wednesday, a move that comes asthe company looks to stem declining sales ofdiet soda.

The print ad is set to run in USA Today inthe Atlanta area, followed by the Atlanta Jour-nal Constitution on Thursday and the ChicagoTribune next week. It says that diet drinks canhelp people manage their weight and stressesthe scientific evidence showing the safety ofaspartame, which is more commonly knownunder the NutraSweet brand name.

The ad represents the next phase of a cam-paign Coca-Cola Co. launched in January topush back at critics who blame its sugarydrinks for fueling obesity rates. The first waveof ads outlined the company’s commitment tofighting obesity and pointed to the many dietoptions it offers. Now Coca-Cola is trying to re-assure people that those lower-calorie drinksaren’t harmful.

A lesson incommon sense

The recent commentary byDr. Anthony Schembri was anexercise in common sense.Wouldn’t if be refreshing to alllevels of government if leaderstook the time to examine theirown broken machine and at-tempt to put a new “solution-ism” in place.

I believe the American peo-ple are fed up with the mannerin which the politicians con-tinue to do business as usual.We are a country, state andcounty with a very high level ofinept-ocracy.

This is a system of govern-ment where the least capableto lead are elected by the leastcapable of producing andwhere the members of societyleast likely to sustain them-selves or succeed are rewardedwith goods and services paidfor by the confiscated wealth ofa diminishing number of pro-ducers. This process continuesto allow politicians to continueto be reelected and placed inpositions that foster their con-tinuance in office.

Corruption is rampant, butthe age-old comment we hearis: “What difference can Imake?” People, we have to re-make our beds or else we willall be sleeping on the floor atthe feet of those that have cre-ated the unacceptable.

Dr. Schembri has laid out arecipe in which we can changeour direction and make it workright.

George the ShelterCat says thanks

Hello. George the ShelterCat here. I apologize for takingso long to get this letter done,but the lack of opposablethumbs hinders my typing.Also many recent surrendersof cats, kittens, dogs and pup-pies have kept me busy greet-ing everyone, and I just want toremind everyone to pleasespay and neuter your pets.

I want to thank everyonewho took part in helping to cel-

ebrate my 13th birthday inJune at the Citrus County Ani-mal Services Shelter. Thanksto the visitors to the shelterthat day we collected in excessof 20 pounds of food and (mostimportantly to me) cat treats!We also collected $117 in cash,which has been put to good usein improvements to the catadoption area. Those dona-tions, along with donationsfrom some of our volunteersand supporters, went towardsthe purchase of three addi-tional kennels for the cat adop-tion area. Thank you to NickNicholson for putting the newkennels together for us. Theseextra kennels allow more ofour cats to have the opportu-nity to be available in theadoption areas; more of themnow have the opportunity to in-teract with the public lookingto adopt. Thank you from thebottom of my heart.

Also new to the adoptionarea are two very comfyshelves in the Meet YourMatch Room that allow morevertical space for the cats toclimb and relax on. Thank youto our volunteers, Leslie Ra-malho and Karyl Kelley;Leslie’s husband, Joe; andGlen Tubman d/b/a Canvas Ex-perts for their planning, execu-tion and contributions to theseexcellent shelves!

Please visit the shelter soonand check out some of thegreat cats, kittens, dogs andpuppies waiting for theirchance for adoption. Pleaseadopt, don’t shop — and again,remember to spay or neuteryour pets.

WASHINGTON

President Obama canceleda planned summit inMoscow with Russian

President Putin, citing Putin’srejection of administration en-treaties to return NSA leakerEdward Snowden to the U.S. toface trial. Obama’s frustrationwith Putin’s intransigence on anumber of issues, from nucleararms reduction to the abrupthalting of adoptions by Ameri-cans of Russian children, setthe stage for the snub. Obamano doubt felt he had takenenough guff from the Russianpresident; now was the time toreturn the volley.

Granting Snowden tempo-rary asylum was the proximatecause, but a small part of themuch larger story of the deteri-orating U.S.-Russian relation-ship. It gave Obama an excuseto skip the side trip to Moscowafter he attends next month’s G-20 summit in St. Petersburgthat Putin is hosting. Given thelong and rocky history betweenthe two superpowers, it’s notsurprising Obama made the de-cision he did, but did he reallythink the Russians would re-turn Snowden?

In foreign policy — as in allhuman interactions — you’vegot to put yourself in the otherguy’s shoes. Snowden initiallyfled to Hong Kong, where theChinese essentially punted, de-clining to send him back to theU.S. and letting him travel on toMoscow. Putin was confrontedwith a guy confined to the tran-

sit lounge of the Moscow airportwho was meeting with humanrights activists and allegedlystill in possession of a treasuretrove of U.S. intelligence secrets.

What if the situation were re-versed, and a Russian citizenwas holed up at JFK airport inNew York, his passport revokedby Russian authorities, and hehad inside information aboutthe Kremlin; would the admin-istration send him back to Rus-sia to face an uncertain fate?The answer is no, the adminis-tration would put out the wel-come mat for such anindividual. They’d call him orher a defector, and grant asylum.

The same would be true if anindividual allegedly in posses-sion of secrets about Chinamanaged to reach the U.S. — heor she would get asylum in aNew York minute.

The Russians are doing ex-actly what any U.S. administra-tion would do: allow thishigh-profile defector or dissi-dent to find safe harbor, andthen milk it for every bit ofdrama and public relations ad-vantage they can find. Sure, it’sannoying to Obama, but itshouldn’t be a surprise. And itshouldn’t be blamed for thebreakdown in the U.S-Russianrelationship. That was frayingwell before Snowden landed inMoscow.

There’s a great deal of the-ater on both sides of the divide.Putin has a trophy in Snowden

that he can show off to the Russ-ian people, and Obama gets arare chance to look tough whileputting nothing at risk. It’s likethat iconic scene from“Casablanca,” where the chiefof police is “shocked, shocked”to find gambling in Rick’s Café.

If Putin did agree to extraditeSnowden, what kind of signalwould that send? How wouldthat be interpreted? Obamawould be delighted, of course,and praise Putin for his cooper-ation. But what would Putin getout of the deal? He would for-feit any future opportunities toreceive defectors and/or dissi-dents from the U.S. Anybodycontemplating such a movewould see Putin as an unreli-able confidante, and Russia ashostile territory — not the mes-sage Putin wants to send in aworld of shifting alliances.

The thing to watch now iswhat Russia does with Snow-den now that he’s there for atleast a year. The Russian equiv-alent of Facebook reportedly of-fered him a job. Let’s see howmuch freedom Snowden gets toenjoy, whether the world atlarge hears from him again, andthen we can better judgePutin’s actions, and whetherthey depart from the norm — orare the norm.

TIPPING POINT

Restore bayor lose it

During the past 12months, hundreds ofmanatees have died

suddenly and inexplicably,one after another, across one-third of the Indian River es-tuary along Florida’s eastcoast. This spring, hundredsof pelicans also began dying,followed this summer byscores of bottlenose dolphins.

The “die off” isan alarming indi-cator that the es-tuary’s ecosystem,which not onlysupports wildlifebut commercialfisheries, tourismand other busi-nesses as well, isfinally bucklingunder the strainof decades of pol-lution generated by coastaldevelopment.

While Citrus County has yetto experience the IndianRiver estuary’s grim statis-tics, mounting evidence indi-cates this could very well bethe fate awaiting its coastalwaters and estuaries in thenot-too-distant future.

The most recent evidence ofthe degradation of our coastalwaters and estuaries is a 10-year data collection effort inKing’s Bay. Conducted by theSouthwest Florida Water Man-agement District, it confirmsthe bay’s disturbing trend ofdeclining water quality.

As revealed by the data col-lected, the bay’s waters areplagued by growing levels ofchlorophyll, nitrate and phos-phorus, indicating stormwa-ter run-off, chemicalfertilizers and leaking septicsystems are polluting the bay.

No one, however, should besurprised.

In the 1970s, the spring-fed

waters of King’s Bay werecrystal-clear with a white,sandy bottom and strips oftape grass beds. Since then,local residents and recre-ational users have witnessedthe steady decline of thebay’s water quality.

Spurred by the bay’s de-cline, concerned local citi-zens, environmental groups

and civic organi-zations have beenbeating the drumfor the past twodecades to galva-nize public andg o v e r n m e n t a lsupport to haltthe decline so thebay could be re-stored to its ear-lier luster.

While their ef-forts have spurred some pos-itive steps, such as the recentpublic acquisition of ThreeSisters Springs and CrystalRiver’s water reclamation,sewer extension andstormwater managementprojects, progress has beenincremental and piecemeal.

Lacking concerted action,the bay is inexorably reach-ing a tipping point that couldresult in dire environmentaland economic consequencesfor our county. With time ourenemy, the race to save thebay demands action — notmore discussions and studiesthat merely restate the problem.

County residents and gov-ernmental officials, there-fore, must muster up thepolitical will to develop andsupport a comprehensiverestoration plan for King’sBay that’s solutions orientedbefore it’s irrevocably lost.

The time for concerted ac-tion is now!

LETTERS to the Editor

Volunteers weeded outI was a volunteer firefighter in

Pine Ridge for many years. Nowthat they’ve put paid firefightersin Pine Ridge, the volunteers areno longer needed. Atone time there were al-most 20 volunteers inthat station. Nowthey’re down to almostone or two and at thistime, they’re both sen-ior men. There’s noneed for volunteer fire-fighters anymore. We’vejust been weeded outby the paid firefightersand everybody canthank the administra-tion for doing that.

More stations needed?Here’s one for your tax fee for

the fire business: Out inHeatherwood, there was a build-ing that burned a couple yearsago. It took 35 minutes for thefire trucks to get there and obvi-ously there was nothing forthem to do.

Give back fire dept.I can’t believe that anyone be-

grudges the fire departmentmonetary support. What we dobegrudge is that the sheriff’s(office) is in charge of thismoney and how it is spent. Givethe fire department back to thefire chief. Is (Sheriff Jeff) Dawsy

smarter than the fire chief whenit comes to the fire departmentoperation? Of course not.

We already pay fire taxI’m addressing the comments

made in Monday’spaper (Aug. 5) from thepeople that wrote inwho are pro the MSBUfire (fee).

Obviously, you mustwork for the fire depart-ment or you’re one ofthe people that got the3 percent raise, be-cause what you saidwas pretty dumb.

We already pay to thefire (services) in our

taxes. And to even think thatsomebody shouldn’t go and putout a fire at someone’s housebecause they oppose beingripped off by paying all thesebills, these taxes and MSBUs, isa pretty sad thing to state. It’s ridiculous.

Give tax to fire chiefI’m calling in regard to taking

back the fire department. Don’tthink people would mind somuch paying a fire tax if it wentdirectly to the fire departmentinstead of going to the sheriff,who already has too much con-trol. Please give the fire depart-ment back to the fire chief. Ithink we’d be a lot happier.

Hot Corner: FIRE TAX

Don’t worry, be happy

Don’t worry, be happy.All will be well in Wash-ington, D. C. The presi-dent doesn’t have abudget, thanks to his staffand Harry Reid. Neitherone has made a legitimatetry to generate a budgetor work towards one thatcould be accepted andput into practice for fiveyears now.

What does this mean toyou and me? It meansthat there are no guide-lines or limits on spend-ing and borrowing inWashington, D. C. untilthe debt limit is reachedagain. Don’t worry, behappy — we will just im-plement programs thatmake us look good, andgive away money that wedon’t have, because wecan just borrow more nextMonday. The people andforeign countries willthink that we are justwonderful because weare giving them some-thing for nothing.

Is this ever going toend?

It will end when we, thepeople, say no more bor-rowing. When you reachthe debt limit, that’s it,you’re done borrowing.Or, it could end when thefederal government can’tborrow enough money topay the bills and debtthey owe. Not a happythought and something apresident doesn’t want tothink about or acknowl-edge. But how about us?This debt obligation issomething we are going tohave to pay off. It’s goingto come out of our pocketsand the politicians arejust going to continue tospend until we elect legis-lators who have thecourage and the ability tosay no more borrowinguntil we get our financialhouse in order.

Cities in California andMichigan have gone bank-rupt, and I would suspectthere will be more. Whenwill states start goingbankrupt? The easymoney and gifts will cometo a screeching halt whenbankruptcy occurs. This issomething that we shouldtry to avoid with all ourmight. The way things aregoing now it is not a ques-tion of, will we go bank-rupt? The question iswhen will we go bank-rupt? If we keep electingpoliticians that can’tchange the way that thebusiness of government isdone we are doomed tofail, sorry to say.

We have a dilemma onour hands. The Republi-cans will never get an-other man electedpresident if they don’tstop with their currentplatform, and the Democ-rats know this and justkeep promising to giveaway the store and keepgetting elected. What weneed is a crusader on abeautiful, shiny horse tocome along and getelected. Then we willhave to elect people whohe can work with to stopthis runaway financialwreck from happening. Itmeans the Washingtonmentality will have tochange and a more realis-tic one be installed. Thisnew mentality will alsohave to be implementedin the states, counties andcities if we are to be suc-cessful. If we don’t changefor the better, we aredoomed to fail. If we fail,the whole world will fail,because we have allowedand encouraged them todepend on us for guid-ance and money.

Don’t worry, be happy.Let’s make another dealand go down the slipperyslope to defeat.

Much work stillto be done

As a white woman, Iguess I take for grantedthat no one is going to fol-low me around in a storebecause they think Imight steal something. Nowoman clutches herpurse close to her bodywhen I approach. No onelocks their car when Iwalk through a parkinglot. I don’t feel frightenedwhen I see a police offi-cer in the area.

While the Zimmermanjury has made their deci-sion, which, like it or not,we must accept, I wasvery proud of PresidentBarack Obama when headdressed the racial trou-bles that still exists anddiscussed some of theproblems faced by peopleof color every day.

The president’s recentinformal press confer-ence after the Zimmer-man verdict made mestop and think. Have Iever been guilty of thethings he said black malesface every day? Probablyso. The president hasmade me more aware ofmy behavior and I hope Ican change it.

Why is it that we cansmile at a child of color, butwhen that same child be-comes a teenager, we tendto shy away from them?Would we do the same ifthey were white? Do tat-toos and sagging jeans au-tomatically make us thinka person is some sort ofcriminal? Why in the 21stcentury do African Ameri-can parents still have tohave “the talk” with theirchildren regarding how tobehave when they havedealings with police?

So, thank you, Obama,for reminding us all thatthe work needs to be continued.

Time to ‘get off the bus’

What a financial mess— our county, our state,our country — just makesyou want to give up. But Icannot do this. It in a waykinda reminds me of myservice in the Pacific dur-ing World War II. We wereso young and thought weknew everything — wewere wrong. We knew lit-tle and found out the onlyway to survive was to de-pend on each other. Per-haps I am too “old school”but I like to think we, asAmericans, can surviveanything if we want to —

really want to. A little story, not new,

but still interesting:Seems there (were) twoyoung boys up North whobecame very close friends— went to elementaryschool and high school,played on the school ath-letic teams. Well, duringtheir senior (year) in highschool, one of their fa-thers was sent on his jobin the South which meanttaking the family to a newlocation. After gradua-tion, the other kid de-cided he missed hisbuddy and saved hismoney for a trip downSouth to see him.

So the day came and heboarded the bus and fellasleep. Next thing heheard was someoneyelling, “Get off the bus,get off the bus and putyour feet in the yellowfootprints on the deck.”See, he got on the wrongbus and it took him to theMarine Corps RecruitDepot at Parris Island, S.C.

He lived in a hell forthe next 11 weeks. Thenthey sent him to CampPendleton — a Marinebase in California. Fromthere he was assigned to arifle company andshipped to the Central Pa-cific to fight the then-enemy, the Japanese. Hemade no less than threeinitial landings on thoseislands held by the then-enemy, the Japanese.

He was awarded ournation’s second-highestaward, the Navy Cross.After discharge he waselected by his state toserve in Congress. Heserved for more than 40years and after retire-ment taught at a majoruniversity. Is it not abouttime all Americans “Gotoff the bus?”

Semper Fi.

Program successful

The Child PassengerSafety Program hasreached the one-year an-niversary of service at theEarly Learning Coalitionof the Nature Coast, lo-cated in the Meadowcrestcomplex in Crystal River.

The program offers freecar seat safety inspectionsfor all residents, providing

education on the correctuse and secure installationof all types of child safetyseats. This is vitally impor-tant, as four out of five carseats are not used correctlyand no car seat can protecta child if it is not usedproperly. Another key serv-ice is providing safe, newcar seats for families in ourcommunity who are expe-riencing financial hard-ship. Two hundred andtwenty seven children re-ceived a car seat this pastyear. These are offered atlow cost to ensure safetransportation for all chil-dren regardless of familyincome. All services are byappointment at the EarlyLearning Coalition office.

We would like to thankthe following businesses,agencies and organiza-tions who have con-tributed financial andin-kind support to theChild Passenger SafetyProgram this past year.First, the Board of Direc-tors of the ELC for theirsupport, The Florida De-partment of Transporta-tion, Kids Central Inc.,The Citrus County TaxCollector’s Office, StateFarm Insurance, CapitalCity Bank, The First Bap-tist Church of CrystalRiver, the Gulf to LakePilot Club of CitrusCounty, The Women ofSugarmill Woods, CrystalMotors, Walmart, Kmart,and fundraisers at RubyTuesday’s, Chili’s and Applebee’s.

We are grateful to thepeople from these organi-zations who recognize thevalue of this program,which is to keep all CitrusCounty children trans-ported as safely as possible.

More firefighters neededThe Sound Off is a lot better than the comics.

Just reading the stupidity that some people call into the Sound Off. One of them: “Lay off the police,lay off the fire department.” As a retired firefighter,I have called in with facts and figures from the Na-tional Fire Protection Association that shows thefire department here is very under strength andunder manned and we need to get that strength upto protect ourselves, to protect the firefighters andprotect the property.

Confused by quoteSeveral days ago in the Chronicle, there was a big

article about water by A.B. Sidibe and he was quot-ing and interviewing Helen Spivey about water is-sues. Ms. Spivey mentioned the use of robo-toilets.I don’t think she really meant robo-toilets. Thatwould be inappropriate, I think, in context of whatshe was saying, she may have meant compostingtoilets. Composting toilets make total sense be-cause they require little or no water.

Charge boat ramp feesI’m mad I can’t get my boat out on the ramp for

scalloping. It’s all booked up and tied in from out-of-state, out-of-town scallopers, all using our countyramps and facilities for free. We need to startcharging people. We could have a nice fire depart-ment with that.

Grass needs cuttingThe grass needs cut on South Barber Street. The

person or bank or mortgage company that ownsthis property needs to come and take a look, as Idrove by. This is an eyesore where I came from andthe property owner should be cited. Does BeverlyHills not have any authority? The grass is full ofmosquitoes and looks very bad for the neighbor-hood. Please drive by South Barber Street.

Searching for stolen birdsI am asking anyone that has spotted three flamin-

gos in anyone’s yard that were recently placedthere, to call the sheriff’s office. They were recentlystolen from our front yard. They were made ofporcelain and quite heavy. My wife, who is 76 yearsold, spent much time restoring them. She paintedthem bright pink with a dark green base. They mayhave been sold from a flea market or off the street.It would be greatly appreciated if they were to befound and returned. The theft has been reported tothe sheriff’s office.

Getting rid of syntheticsI was wondering why we can’t get rid of the syn-

thetic drugs in Citrus County even though they havein Sumter County pretty well, even though theydon’t have anything near the (Jeff) Dawsy empirewe have here to get rid of it. Just seems like re-sources are spent for a lot less important things,because these kids are dying and going broke overthis crap and we can’t do nothing about that.

Use sign, not printI would like to suggest to the people who continu-

ally submit letters full of hatred and religious intol-erance that their vitriol would be moreappropriately vented by standing on the side of theroad with a sign instead of polluting the discussionin the local newspaper.

School standards questionedTaxes, taxes, taxes, that’s all you hear about right

now. But the one thing commissioners are not look-ing at is the school system. We have young childrengraduating; they don’t even know how this countrywas formed. No history, not teaching them anything.Maybe we should take some money out of there.

Why pay for that?Can someone please describe the duties of a

school board member? I just read Sandy Balfourhas resigned her job to serve on the school board.In New Jersey, board members serve for free. Ithought the school superintendent was paid to bethe one in charge of schools.

We retired for this?It’s ironic that we left the D.C. area to retire in Cit-

rus County where we thought we would find a slow-paced and economical community. Now we findwe’re in the middle of a power struggle with thelocal hospital, a biased newspaper, ridiculousmoney-wasting proposals, i.e., Port Citrus, and thebrilliant idea to correct all the budget problems byovertaxing the population. It turns out CitrusCounty is not that different from the big city afterall, except that now we are retired and we have tolive with it all over again. How ironic.

Thanks for supporting CUB

I would like to thank eachand every one of you who con-tinually support our mission toassist Citrus County familiesand individuals facing tempo-rary hardship. With your help,Citrus United Basket (CUB) isable to provide food, financialassistance, nominally pricedclothing, free children’s cloth-ing, interview clothes, clothesto those re-entering the workforce, encouragement, re-sources and most of all, hope tothose who come to us for help.Thank you for all you do!

Our summer started off witha splash.

Thank you to Apopka Marine,our board of directors andeveryone who participated inthis year’s boat raffle. Thankyou to everyone who sold tick-ets and all who donated prizes.Congratulations to our winner.

It is with a grateful heart thatI would like to share with you alittle bit of what your help hasallowed us to provide duringthe last few months:

School is out, children are athome and families are strug-gling to stretch the householdfood dollar through the month. …

Thanks to the collaborativeefforts of our community sup-port and CUB’s amazing teamof dedicated volunteers, ourfood distribution program hasbeen able to offer fresh fruits:cherries, strawberries, blueber-ries, apricots, peaches, raspber-ries, grapes and watermelon.Our food pantry hope is to haveavailable better quality, greaterquantity, nutritionally basedmenu selections. In the pastfew months families have re-ceived hot dogs, deli meats,lunch meats, beef, pork,chicken and eggs, in addition toour regular staple food bagitems. We have been fortunateto be able to provide our fami-lies with dog and cat food aswell as pet supplies and fleaand tick preventative, feminineproducts, incontinence prod-ucts, toiletries, toilet paper andother household items. Ourfood pantry is open from 9 a.m.to 2:30 p.m. Monday throughFriday, and services hundredsof families, with thousands ofpounds each and every month.

Thanks to the generosity ofall of you who have donatedclothing and household items,CUB’s thrift store has been ableto maintain our nominal pric-ing with most thrift store itemsremaining at $1, or our popular“fill-a-bag” for $3. Our summershoe sale is still ongoing: Twopair for $3 is a great success.

All proceeds from our thriftstore go directly to support ourfood pantry food distributionprogram. Also, CUB has a gen-erous in-kind program wherewe offer all children’s clothingand shoes at no cost. Clothing isalso available at no charge toclients entering the workforceor preparing for job interviews.We have a wide variety of in-kind medical equipment:canes, crutches, walkers andwheel chairs available at nocharge.

The weather is warm, the hu-midity is high, the AC is on andenergy use is up, so the addedcost of higher utility billsstresses the budget. …

Financial assistance is at thesummer peak; we are helpingmany families curb the cost ofhigh energy bills, utility assis-tance and rental assistance. Be-cause of your support, CUB isable to help. We remain stead-fast in our efforts to keep peo-ple in their homes.

All of what we do at CitrusUnited Basket is possible withyour help and love. Throughthe continued support of indi-viduals, families, churches,civic clubs and organizations inthe local community, “PeopleHelping People” is a beautifulreality.

Remember James 1:27. “Reli-gion that God our Father ac-cepts as pure and faultless isthis: to look after orphans andwidows in their distress and tokeep oneself from being pol-luted by the world.”

Thank you Citrus County, weare blessed to be part of such awonderful community.

CUB would especially like tothank:

keep doing what we are doing.We will be collecting and dis-tributing back to school cloth-ing, shoes and supplies in theupcoming weeks.

It is an honor and a privilegeto serve this community. Thankyou for your faith, faithfulnessand trust. Without you, none ofthis is possible.

God Bless you all!

America’s leaders separate AmericansI’m sick and tired of hearing

elected officials and reading inthe papers or listening on theso-called news networks aboutthe black vote, the Hispanicvote, the gay vote, the Christianvote, the atheist vote, the whitevote and any other group that Imay have forgotten.

Our leaders stink. They havepromoted the segmenting of theAmerican population to meettheir personal agendas. Toomany Americans are like sheepbeing led to the slaughter andbuy into the media propagandathat loves to divide us for thesake of selling newspapers orgaining radio/TV listeners/viewers.

Hell, why don’t we just divideAmerica up into different coun-tries and each have their ownpresident, king, dictator orwhatever they choose? We candivide up America’s land massby population (whites get 70

percent of the land, black-Americans 12 percent, Hispan-ics 14 percent, Asians 4percent, all others can joinwhichever group they feel com-fortable with).

America was called a meltingpot where the oppressed couldcome to fulfill their dream oflife, liberty and the pursuit ofhappiness. Where did the peo-ple go who used to come toAmerica to become an Ameri-can, to find work, to pursuehappiness and live the Ameri-can dream, to escape oppress-ing governments, to love andhonor the lady with the torchand the American flag that areour welcoming symbols? Unfor-tunately this type of immigrantseems to be difficult to find intoday’s world.

I guess you can tell I’m fed upwith the direction our leadersare taking us. What is really sadin our republic is that ultimatelyit is you and I who must take agreat deal of the blame, as it isyou and I who are in charge ofthe leaders we elect. In a repub-lic (which is what we have inAmerica) the leaders work forus, not the other way around.

Can we change America’s di-rection? Absolutely! First weneed to remove all written orverbal use of the followingterms: African-American, His-panic, Asian, white, etc. If youare an American by birth or bynaturalization you should be re-ferred to and proudly called“American.”

I’m sick and tired of thesesurveys that ask you to identifyyour ethnic background. I al-ways check the box that says“other” because they don’t have“American” listed as a choice. Iwas born and raised here. Whywould I want to be identified assomething else? What’s the pur-pose? Using terms to segregateAmericans into subcultures iscounter productive.

All I ask each and every oneof you is vote for what yourheart knows is right for thiscountry. Not for some self-serv-ing agenda. Tough, but a choicewe all must make. America is amelting pot of diversified peo-ple and most of us simply wanta life of opportunity to succeedin our endeavors, live in a safeenvironment, worship in what-ever beliefs you hold dear.

We will lose the Americandream if we continue to allow“leaders” to segregate us in op-posing camps. We are “Ameri-cans” first and need toeliminate identifications thatseparate us.

Fire the managerThis is in reply to the

“Plenty of food stampfraud.” That store man-ager should be fired. Youcan’t buy hot meals withfood stamps. You can’t de-fraud things. That’s theproblem with this country.

Give us the newsLast Wednesday night

about 7:30, I was cominghome from Hernando andI come upon a wholebunch of vehicles, severalfire trucks, emergencysquads, about half adozen police cars withlights flashing, a wholebunch of people standingalongside the road. Notone thing in the paper inthe morning or on theradio, and here it is Friday.

It’s nice if we had a re-porter that worked atnight to let people knowwhat’s going on in ourcommunity.

Editor’s note The Chroni-cle always appreciates whenresidents call the newsroomto let us know of newsevents such as serious trafficaccidents. Our number is352-563-5660.

Worker’s comp slowI’m calling about

worker’s comp issues. Iwant to know why in CitrusCounty, if you work for thesheriff’s office or anycounty entity, it takes solong to get reimbursed foryour worker’s comp. Youknow, gasoline going backand forth to go to the doc-tor. There are people whohave been legitimately

hurt and are out on legiti-mate worker’s comp plansand it’s taking months andmonths to get reimbursed.We’re talking, you know,four to six months to getreimbursed for simple fueland mileage and thingslike that. I think it’s horren-dous that these peoplewho are taking money outof their pocket, that it’staking forever for them toget their money back.

Renewal infoWill you put it in the

paper again what youneed to renew your license?

Editor’s note: The bestplace to find out is throughthe Citrus County Tax Col-lector’s Office. Call 352-341-6513, or visitwww.tc.citrus.fl.us.

Law soundI have a problem with

these people that arecomplaining about the“stand your ground” law. Ithink it is a good law andif they don’t like it, theycan move to some otherstate.

Return fundsThe board of trustees

for Citrus Memorial hospi-tal voted to keep the mill-age rate at .245.

I think this was prema-ture, since they made thisdecision based on esti-mates, plus they have todecide which proposal toaccept and if both boardsmanage to agree on oneof these proposals and itgets consummated beforeyear end, there will be

that much more moneythere sitting in the pot un-used. When this is alldone, all riches, includingany monies remainingfrom a sale or a lease ofthe hospital, should be, ingood faith, returned tothe rightful owner, thetaxpayers. This moneyshould not go to theBOCC to manage, nor toany other entity for anypurpose.

Crushing programInteresting. The Chroni-

cle has a magnificent arti-cle promoting Ag in CitrusCounty by strong leaders,yet our county commis-sion is about to abolish,disband, destroy the Mas-ter Gardeners Programand the County ExtensionService. Actually, that’s

probably Swiftmud. Still,they crushed our MasterGardener Program, yet oursurrounding counties aredoing terrific. What a conundrum.

Not armedWe have a Neighbor-

hood Watch in SugarmillWoods and they drive Cit-rus County patrol cars. Ithink it behooves Sheriff(Jeff) Dawsy to make astatement that Neighbor-hood Watch individuals inhis vehicles are not vigi-lantes and are not armed.He should state that aNeighborhood Watch indi-vidual is not a traineddeputy and is not permit-ted to carry a weaponwhile in that vehicle. Whathappened in Sanfordcould not happen here.

National Wildlife Refugein the Florida Panhandle.

“Maybe next year ifthings get better, we wouldstart it back up again,”Lusk said.

“Our base budget isbeing cut by 8 percent thisyear and next year it isgoing to be cut by another5 percent,” he said.

Last year, the endan-gered cranes’ journeyfrom the upper Midwest tothis area was repeatedlydelayed by inclementweather and they endedup being crated and trans-ported to St. Marks.

Lusk said hosting thewhooping cranes, whichthe refuge has been doingsince 2007, can be expensive.

Under Operation Migra-tion, fledgling cranes —which are raised in captiv-ity — learn how to migratefrom the northern Mid-west to the Sunshine State.They begin their journeyin the fall. The OperationMigration organizationprovides support bothfrom donations and volun-teers in an effort to estab-lish a stable population ofthe endangered bird.

Most of the whoopingcranes spend the warm

weather months in centralWisconsin, where they useareas on or near NecedahNational Wildlife Refuge,as well as other public andprivate lands.

Whooping cranes wereon the verge of extinctionin the 1940s. Today, thereare only about 570 birds inexistence, approximately400 of them in the wild.

The only other migrat-ing population of whoop-ing cranes nests at WoodBuffalo National Park innorthern Alberta, Canada,

and winters at AransasNational Wildlife Refugeon the Texas Gulf Coast. Anon-migrating flock of ap-proximately 20 birds livesyear-round in the Kissim-mee region.

Whooping cranes,named for their loud andpenetrating calls, live andbreed in wetland areas,where they feed on crabs,clams, frogs and aquaticplants. They are distinc-tive animals, standing 5feet tall, with white bodies,black wing tips and red

Court wants rulingon nuke waste site

WASHINGTON — In arebuke to the Obama admin-istration, a federal appealscourt ruled Tuesday that theNuclear Regulatory Com-mission has been violatingfederal law by delaying adecision on a proposed nu-clear waste dump in Nevada.

By a 2-1 vote, the U.S.Court of Appeals for theDistrict of Columbia orderedthe commission to completethe licensing process andapprove or reject the EnergyDepartment’s application fora never-completed wastestorage site at Nevada’sYucca Mountain.

In a sharply worded opin-ion, the court said the nuclearagency was “simply floutingthe law” when it allowed theObama administration tocontinue plans to close theproposed waste site. The ac-tion goes against a federallaw designating YuccaMountain as the nation’snuclear waste repository.

CONCORD, N.H. — Oneman infected with hepatitisC hasn’t been able to returnto work. Another won’t kisshis wife on the lips eventhough the blood-bornevirus can’t be spread thatway. A woman struggleswith stress and fatigue. An-other worries about expos-ing her grandchild.

All are among thedozens of patients formerhospital technician DavidKwiatkowski is accused ofinfecting with the disease,and they were prepared to

testify against him at trial.Instead, Kwiatkowski is

scheduled to plead guiltyWednesday to 14federal drugcharges in NewHampshire in ex-change for 30 to 40years in prison. Hewill be sentencedlater, probably inNovember, U.S.Attorney John Ka-cavas said Tuesday.

Kwiatkowski has beenjailed since his arrest inJuly 2012. His lawyers didnot respond to email mes-sages or calls seeking com-

ment Monday or Tuesday.Originally from Michigan,

Kwiatkowski worked in 18hospitals in sevenstates before beinghired in NewHampshire in2011. A travelinghospital technician,he was assigned bystaffing agencies tofill temporaryopenings aroundthe country. Along

the way, he contractedhepatitis C.

According to the pleaagreement filed Monday,Kwiatkowski told investi-

gators he had been stealingdrugs for more than a decadeand his actions were“killing a lot of people.”

He wasn’t charged di-rectly in anyone’s death,but the plea agreementsays his actions played a“contributing role” in oneperson’s death. Hepatitis Ccan cause liver diseaseand chronic health issues.

Instead, Kwiatkowski isaccused of stealing painkillersyringes from Exeter Hos-pital’s cardiac catheteriza-tion lab and replacing themwith saline-filled syringestainted with his blood.

Forty-six people in fourstates in hospitals whereKwiatkowski worked havebeen diagnosed with thesame strain of hepatitis Che carries: 32 patients inNew Hampshire; seven inMaryland, six in Kansas andone in Pennsylvania. One ofthe Kansas patients died.

With his plea,Kwiatkowski will avoidcriminal charges pertain-ing to patients outsideNew Hampshire. At leasttwo dozen civil lawsuits re-lated to his case are pend-ing, most of them againstExeter Hospital.

PHILADELPHIA — Anew robot at the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania has aleg up on its predecessorsnow that researchers haveoutfitted it with jumpingand climbing abilities —something that could makeit particularly useful forsuch tricky propositions asmilitary search missionsor supply transport.

The RHex robot projectbegan about 15 years agowhen researchers at severaluniversities began askingwhat it would take for ro-bots to traverse rugged ter-rain as well as animals do.

“You look at any machinethat’s been built today, andalmost any animal that youcan imagine will outper-form that machine,” saidPenn engineering profes-sor Daniel Koditschek,who’s been involved in thedevelopment of RHex(pronounced Rex) sincethe beginning.

Legged robots, unlike

wheeled ones, have the animal-like ability to over-come obstacles like stairsand ledges. But until thelatest iteration of RHex,developed by Koditschekand fifth-year doctoral stu-dent Aaron Johnson, leggedrobots couldn’t negotiategaps in terrain any betterthan robots with wheels.

“Quite frankly, what theleg robots were doing wasgoing over terrain that agood wheeled robot couldprobably handle,” said

University of Michigan en-gineering professor JessyGrizzle. “What RHex isdoing now is somethingthat you couldn’t imaginedoing with wheels.”

Johnson has developedmechanisms that allow therobot to jump over gaps andholes in terrain it previouslywould have fallen into. Andwhere tall ledges wouldtypically block such a robot’spath, RHex can maneuveronto platforms more thanfour times its own height.

Koditschek and Johnsondesigned the latest versionof RHex — X-RHex Lite —using lightweight carbonfiber. This allows it to per-form its leaping and climb-ing functions withoutconsuming too muchpower, so the robot cankeep moving after clearingan obstacle.

The RHex project wasoriginally funded by theDepartment of Defense di-vision in charge of devel-oping military technology,and the latest version isfunded by the U.S. Army.

But according to RogerBrockett, a professor of en-gineering at Harvard Uni-versity, there is a wide rangeof research happening inrobotics, and it’s difficultto know which approachwill ultimately be the mostuseful.

“This is just one bigquest from people all overthe place who are trying tosee if their particular takeon this is going to be effec-tive,” he said.

DALLAS — American Airlinesand US Airways expected tospend this week cruising towardcompletion of their huge merger,a deal that was worth $14 billionon paper and would create theworld’s biggest airline.

Instead, they were stunnedTuesday when the federal gov-ernment and six states sued toblock the deal, saying it wouldhurt competition and cost con-sumers hundreds of millions ofdollars a year in higher fares andextra fees.

Antitrust regulators had donelittle to interfere with three otherbig airline mergers in the past fiveyears, so they were not expectedto stand in the way of Americanand US Airways. But this latestdeal would leave four airlinescontrolling more than 80 percentof the U.S. air-travel market.

The Justice Departmentturned the words of US Airways’leaders against them. The 56-page lawsuit filed in federal dis-trict court in Washington, D.C.,was peppered with quotes from

internal emails, investor presen-tations and public comments inwhich the airlines’ top executivesnoted previous mergers had helpedlead to higher fares and higher feesto check a bag or change a ticket.

Mergers hurt fliers in severalways, the government says.

With fewer choices, consumerscan’t protest added fees or higherprices. That means one airlineoften quickly follows the other inraising prices or charging new fees.

For example, when Americanannounced a charge for a firstchecked bag on May 21, 2008,United and US Airways intro-duced their own luggage fees justthree weeks later.

“Similarly, over a period of justtwo weeks this spring, all fourlegacy airlines increased theirticket change fee for domestic travelfrom $150 to $200,” the suit notes.

But the real damage from fiveyears of industry consolidationshows up in airfares.

The average cost of a roundtripdomestic ticket grew to $378.62last year, up from $351.48 in 2008,when adjusted for inflation.

Tom Horton, CEO of American

Airlines parent AMR Corp.,noted that the companies hadspent months trying to convincethe Justice Department that themerger would help customersand boost competition.

“Since the DOJ has formed acontrary view, the matter willnow be settled by the courts,”Horton said.

AMR has been operatingunder bankruptcy protectionsince November 2011.

It’s possible that the lawsuitwon’t ever go to trial. Analystssaid the Justice Department couldbe seeking more time and lever-age to squeeze concessions fromthe companies, such as giving upsome of their precious takeoffand landing slots at Reagan Na-tional Airport, which would cre-ate room for new competitors atthe busy airport across the Po-tomac River from Washington.

At a news conference, Assis-tant Attorney General Bill Baersaid the Justice Department wasalways prepared to discuss a set-tlement but that it preferred thistime to seek an injunction toblock the deal.

Seminoles reload, look torepeat as ACC champs

Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE — Florida State coachJimbo Fisher believes his Seminoles stillhave enough talent to make a run at asecond straight Atlantic Coast Confer-ence championship despite all the tal-ent they lost to the NFL.

Eleven players were selected inthe NFL draft and another handful ofSeminoles signed free agent con-tracts. Still, Fisher is confident theSeminoles will be right in the middle ofthings again this season.

“We’ll tweak and turn, we’re learning,” Fishersaid. “The infrastructure of our program about how wedo things won’t change right now.”

A favorable schedule would also appear to benefitthe Seminoles.Games at Clem-son in mid-October and aseason finale ata r c h r i v a lFlorida arelikely to be theonly times theSeminoles may notbe favored to winthis season.

Fisher’s majorchallenges includequarterback EJManuel (BuffaloBills), cornerbackXavier Rhodes (Min-nesota Vikings) and defensive endBjoern Werner (Indianapolis Colts), whowere all first-round picks in the NFL draftearlier this year.

And that doesn’t include other Seminoles on lastyear’s ACC championship squad who are also vying for

roster spots in the NFL, like kick-ing specialist Dustin Hopkins, whodeparted after scoring 466 points.The points, and his 88 career fieldgoals, are both NCAA marks for FBSschools.

“We lost a lot, but there’s still a lot comingin,” Fisher said.

Here are five things to watch during the Semi-noles’ season:

1. QUARTERBACK BATTLE: JimboFisher says the competition iswide open between JameisWinston and JacobCoker. The 6-foot-4Winston and 6-foot-5 Coker are both

mobile andhave strong

Mariners push Rays’ streak to sixAssociated Press

ST. PETERSBURG — Leadoff hitter BradMiller homered twice to help the SeattleMariners send the Tampa Bay Rays to theirsixth straight loss with a 5-4 victory on Tuesday night.

Miller has four home runs this season,which have come in a pair of two-homergames. He connected for his first two bigleague homers on July 19 at Houston.

Tampa Bay also got two homers from itsleadoff hitter, Ben Zobrist.

According to the Rays, it is just the thirdtime since 1916, when records are available,that both leadoff hitters had multihomergames. The others were June 5, 1994 (Min-nesota’s Chuck Knoblauch and TonyPhillips of Detroit) and July 8, 1965 (Hous-ton’s Joe Morgan and Felipe Alou of the Mil-waukee Braves).

After Justin Smoak ended Chris Archer’snight with a leadoff single in the sixth,Dustin Ackley gave Seattle a 5-4 lead on a

triple off Wesley Wright.Zobrist got the Rays even at 4 on his sec-

ond homer of the game, a two-run shot inthe fifth against Erasmo Ramirez (4-0), whoallowed four runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Danny Farquhar pitched the ninth for hisfifth save.

Smoak had a two-run single through a de-fensive shift as the Mariners went ahead 3-2 in the fourth. Miller’s second homer ofthe game, a fifth-inning shot, made it 4-2.

Archer (6-5), who left his previous startlast Wednesday at Arizona after 1 2/3 inningsdue to right forearm tightness, gave up fiveruns and nine hits over five-plus innings.

Miller opened the game with his firstleadoff homer and the Mariners’ eighth thisseason, which extended the team record.

Zobrist tied it at 1 in the bottom of the firston his first career leadoff homer and 100thoverall in the majors. The Rays took a 2-1lead later in the inning on James Loney’sRBI single.

Mike Peterson trades in helmet for headsetAssociated Press

GAINESVILLE — Mike Peterson is backin Gainesville, back in school and back onthe field at Florida.

The former Colts, Jaguars and Falconslinebacker is working as an undergraduatestudent assistant for coach Will Muschamp.Getting his sociology degree — he needs tocomplete just two classes this fall — andhelping the Gators are the first steps towhat he hopes will be a coaching career.

Then again, Peterson spent his last twoyears under Atlanta coach Mike Smithmentoring young guys.

“It was a humbling experience to sit onthe sidelines after being a star for so many

years and being that guy,” Peterson saidTuesday. “To sit on the sidelines and tocoach players up, coach Smith, he gave mea great opportunity. A lot of times,he would let me run the meet-ing, so I would actually haveto get up there and explainthe defense, explain thecoverage. So I’m comfort-able in that role.”

Naturally, Muschamp hasPeterson working with lineback-ers. Not only does Peterson bring 14 yearsof NFL experience to the sideline andmeeting rooms, but his presence also freesup linebackers coach D.J. Durkin to spendmore time in his new role as defensive

coordinator.“You talk to anybody who coached Mike,

we all talk about he was a coach on thefield and he obviously was a

really good player,” saidMuschamp, who also hasformer players Terry Jack-son, Chris Leak and DukeLemmens on staff. “But he

was a guy that had a cere-bral approach to the game

and understanding why we didthings, not just how to do it, but why. ... He’sdoing a fabulous job. He’s got a huge futurein this profession.”

Peterson’s past was pretty solid, too.He was a first-team, All-Southeastern

Conference selection in 1998 after leadingthe Gators in tackles (127). The Coltsdrafted him the second round in 1999 andhe spent the next decade-plus racking uptackles and making plays all over the field.

Peterson has 883 career tackles, 21 1/2sacks and 19 interceptions in 196 games.

He might not be done, either.Peterson acknowledged Tuesday that he

intentionally hasn’t filed retirement pa-perwork with the NFL just in case a teamcalls him in the next couple of weeks.

“No need to rush. I just want to makesure when that door is closed, it’s all theway closed,” he said.

Hurricanes have sights set on Atlantic Coast Conference title chaseAssociated Press

CORAL GABLES — Stephen Morrisand Duke Johnson are heading into thisseason as perhaps one of the nation’stop quarterback-running back duos, andthe biggest reasons why Miami is a pop-ular pick to contend for the AtlanticCoast Conference title.

Unless the Hurricanes’ defense ismuch improved, Morris and Johnsonmight have to be great for their team tohave a chance.

Morris passed for 3,345 yards with 21touchdowns and seven interceptionslast season, then got a good amount ofattention this summer by excelling at

the Manning camp, winning the skillscompetition there. And Johnson’s fresh-man year saw him pile up 2,070 all-purpose yards,mostly on rushesand kickoff returns,where his big-playability was regularly displayed.

“These guys havethe makeup to bepretty good,” saidnew Miami offensivecoordinator James Coley, whowas at Florida State last season.

So the Hurricanes can run, catch andreturn the ball. There isn’t much ques-

tion there.There’s huge questions, however, on

whether Miami can stop anyone.Miami’s defense

set a slew of recordsa year ago, all ofthem bad. By widemargins, the Hurri-canes gave up morepoints and moreyards last seasonthan any team in

Miami history, andthose numbers — 366 points,

5,837 yards allowed — surely wouldhave been higher if the school hadn’t de-clined chances to play in the ACC title

game and a bowl. Miami sat out its sec-ond straight postseason, self-imposinganother ban because of the ongoingNCAA investigation.

Optimism seems higher than it hasbeen around Miami in either of coachAl Golden’s first two seasons with theHurricanes, and his team — with mostof its starters back from the club thatwould have been declared Coastal Divi-sion champions last year if not for thepostseason ban — should be poised towin more than seven games for the firsttime since 2009.

ATLANTA — Kris Medlen con-tinued his late-season surge bywinning his fourth straight start,Chris Johnson hit a two-run homerun and the Atlanta Braves beatthe Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 Tues-day night.

Medlen (10-10) appeared to be indanger of being sent to the bullpenone month ago. In late July, TimHudson was lost for the seasonwith a broken right ankle and PaulMaholm went on the 15-day DLwith a bruised left wrist.

Though Maholm may be onlyone minor league rehab start awayfrom coming off the disabled list,Medlen’s spot in the rotation ap-pears more secure. He left afterwalking Erik Kratz to open theeighth, getting a standing ovationafter allowing one run on five hitsin seven innings.

After David Carpenter pitched aperfect eighth, Craig Kimbrelearned his 37th save by recordingthe final three outs.

Chase Utley had three hits forPhiladelphia, including a one-outsingle off Kimbrel in the ninth.Kimbrel struck out DomonicBrown and ended the game onDarin Ruf ’s popup to first base-man Freddie Freeman.

Johnson gave Atlanta a 3-0 leadin the third inning with his homeroff rookie Ethan Martin (1-2). John-son leads the National Leaguewith his .337 batting average.

Martin, a right-hander who livesin Toccoa, Ga., northeast of At-lanta, lost to Medlen and theBraves for the second time in onlythree major league starts. Martintook a 6-4 loss to the Braves in hisdebut on Aug. 2 and allowed threeruns on six hits and two walks in

five innings Tuesday night. He hadsix strikeouts.

The Braves took the lead in thesecond. Tyler Pastornicky, recalledfrom Triple-A Gwinnett earlier inthe day when Dan Uggla wasplaced on the 15-day disabled list,led off with a single and scored onMedlen’s two-out double overDarin Ruf in right field.

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalezsaid Pastornicky will start at sec-ond base as Uggla will miss at leasttwo weeks to have Lasik eye surgery.

Fan who fell to hisdeath knew Braves

stadium wellATLANTA — Lifetime Atlanta

Braves fan Ronald Lee Homer Jr.knew the stadium where he fell tohis death well. He attended three orfour games a month at Turner Fieldand watched as many televisedgames as he could, his father said.He always had on a Braves hat.

On Monday night, Homer waswaiting out a rain delay in a fourth-level smoking area with a 42-inchrailing that would have come up tothe 6-foot-6 fan’s midsection. He’dtold his mother during a phone con-versation that the rain was lettingup and he was about to head to hisseat for the game against thePhiladelphia Phillies. Shortly after-ward, he fell about 85 feet into aparking lot.

While it’s not clear exactly whyhe fell, police said the death around8:30 p.m. appears to have been anaccident and didn’t involve foulplay. At least four witnesses told po-lice that no one else was standingnear him when he fell.

SCOREBOARDCITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE

Golden said. “I think the guys that areon the train have excellent leadershipand, if they’re not the leader, they’rebeing really good teammates. I keepsaying it, I have some trepidation nomatter what because we have a longway to go as an organization, but we’removing in the right direction.”

Five things to watch during the Hur-ricanes’ season:

1. SCHEDULE: Miami doesn’t leavethe Sunshine State until Oct. 17, playsseven of its 12 regular-season games athome and hosts Virginia Tech for thesecond straight year, a quirky gift thatcame because of how the schedules hadto be configured in the expanded ACC.So in that regard, the Hurricanes seemto have a favorable schedule. Butthey’re also the only presumed Coastalcontender that will meet Florida Statethis season.

2. STATE BATTLES: The mythical-but-still-brag-worthy state champi-onship should be on Miami’s radar thisseason. The Hurricanes open at homeagainst Florida Atlantic (Aug. 30), playhost to Florida on Sept. 7, make thequick trip to face a rebuilding SouthFlorida team three weeks later andthen visit Florida State on Nov. 2. Miamihas lost four of its last six games againstin-state opponents from major conferences.

3. OFFENSIVE LINE: Stephen Mor-ris and Duke Johnson are good on theirown, but Miami’s fortunes are tied tothe group who’ll block for them. Offen-sive line play should be a strength forthe Hurricanes, with plenty of size andexperience. Brandon Linder andShane McDermott might be two of thesmarter Hurricanes in years, andSeantrel Henderson says his last seasonwill be played with purpose. If thisgroup stays healthy, Miami will scoreplenty.

4. DEFENSE PAYOFF: A year ago,the Hurricanes went young on defense,out of sheer necessity in some areasand partly because Miami realized thatgetting players on the field more in 2012could pay dividends in 2013. The de-fensive line has gotten bigger anddeeper, so there’s reason to think Miamimight be considerably better on thatside of the ball.

5. IS THIS THE YEAR?:Miami is en-tering its 10th ACC season and still has-n’t won a single conference title. Andthe last time the Hurricanes so much aswon a bowl game was in 2006. Anotherseven-win season won’t be enough for asuccess.

Predicted finish in the ACC: First inthe Coastal Division.

Injuries happen in training camp and thepreseason, and Peterson figures some teamstill could find itself in need of an experi-enced veteran.

“If they give me a call tonight, it may be alittle different,” Peterson said. “But if theygive me a call a week from now, I’m a loyalguy, a committed guy, and right now, I’ve gota commitment to the team here. So, thelonger this process goes on, it’s going to beharder for me to go back.

“But I think within the next couple weeksor so, I will definitely make an announce-ment. I just want to make sure that door isclosed all the way before I jump into some-thing else.”

If everything goes as planned, though, Pe-terson will get his degree along with his firstreal coaching experience.

“It’s really, really different going back toschool,” he said. “But I’m excited about it.You have two dreams as a kid. Not in any par-ticular order, but play professional sportsand get a degree. I’m thrilled just to be ableto accomplish the latter. Awfully excited.”

Peterson, who grew up just a few milesoutside Gainesville, only has fond memoriesof an NFL career that ended with him serv-ing as a backup linebacker and special teamsplayer. He just missed a chance to make hisfirst Super Bowl when the San Francisco49ers edged the Falcons 28-24 in the NFCchampionship game in Atlanta in January.

“No regrets,” said Peterson, who has twosons, 6-year-old Michael Jr. and 3-year-oldGavin. “You play the game to win a ring. Ican’t take back my 14 years. I had a great ca-reer. I met some great people and madesome great plays. I was chasing it. That’s allI can do. You chase it as hard as I can chaseit. You do that as hard as you can and you feelthat peace. You can look at yourself in themirror and feel good about it.”

Winston appears to be doing every-thing a little bit better. Winston hasplenty of talent surrounding himwith a pair of 600-yard rushers backand a playmaking receiver inRashad Greene. “Whoever it is,we’ll be fine,” senior center BryanStork said. “We’ve (offensive line)got to keep them healthy. We havethe potential to be one of the best O-lines in the country.”

2. THE DEFENSIVE LINE: FSUis replacing four starters up front,but all of the backups have experi-ence. At end, Mario Edwards Jr.started in the ACC championshipgame and Orange Bowl as a fresh-man (recording a combined 10 tack-les), while senior Dan Hicks willlikely start on the other side. And attackle, junior Timmy Jernigan has73 career tackles (and two starts),and senior Demonte McAllister had33 tackles a year ago as a backup.

3. KICKING GAME: Consideredone of the top place kickers in the2012 class, Roberto Aguayo made 5of 6 field-goal attempts in the springgame (including two from beyond50). It was a strong start for Aguayo,who replaces the ACC’s all-timeleading scorer in Dustin Hopkins.

4. NEW COACHES: Fisher over-hauled his staff in the offseason andhired six new assistants. Among thedepartures are defensive coordina-tor Mark Stoops, who is now thehead coach at Kentucky, and offen-sive coordinator James Coley, whohas taken the same job at Miami.Fisher has brought in JeremyPruitt, who won the last two na-tional titles as Alabama’s defensivebacks coach, to take over the de-fense (linebackers coach CharlesKelly and defensive ends coach SalSunseri are also new). Fisher saysthere will be no offensive coordina-tor in title, but he will have threenew assistants in Randy Sanders,Tim Brewster and Jay Graham.

5. TRIP-UP GAMES: FSU hasgone 31-10 in Fisher’s three sea-sons, a successful transition fromcoach Bobby Bowden. But FSU hasstruggled in games it was heavily fa-vored, losing ACC matchups to N.C.State and North Carolina in 2010,Virginia in 2011 and finally drop-ping a 16-point second-half lead atN.C. State in 2012. If the Seminolesare a serious contender on the na-tional stage, they can’t lose thosekind of games.

Predicted finish in the ACC: Sec-ond in the Atlantic Division.

I t has been along time since mylast article. Since then, therehas been a major rule change

that is going to affect many of mystudents anda lot of ama-teur golfers.

T h a tchange is therule concern-ing the an-choring of theclub duringthe stroke.For thosegolfers whohave beenusing a longputter or abelly putter,this is going to create a problem foryou. You are going to have twochoices — either learn to putt withyour long putter, but not anchoredto your body, or switch back to aconventional putter.

For those of you who are inter-ested in going to a traditional-length putter but are afraid of theyips, I am going to provide you withsome tips to overcome this veryfrustrating and sometimes debili-tating problem.

The first step is to decide whattype of putter you want to use.There are many different types of

putters and the type you use de-pends on the type of stroke that youuse. For golfers who like to have astraight back, straight throughstroke, I recommend using a center-shafted putter. If you are like meand believe there is a slight ark inthe putting stroke, I recommendsomething that is heal shafted.Other than that, just make sure youlike what you are looking down at.When choosing a putter, choose onethat is the proper length — mostgolfers use putters that are to long.When we are in our set-up we wantour arms hanging as straight as pos-sible with a slight bend at the elbow.

There are many set-ups andstrokes out there to look at and try.However, it doesn’t matter to mehow you set your feet or how yourposture is. What does matter to meis how you place your hands on thegrip and that we are able to make aconsistent stroke that returns theputter blade back to the ball thesame way, over and over and over.

The first step in that process is tomake sure your hands are placedon the grip, so if you opened yourfingers you would be able to clapyour hands together, if the grip wasnot in the way. The second step is tomake sure your grip pressure is re-laxed, especially in your rightthumb and index finger and DO

NOT tighten them during thestroke. A great drill for this is tostroke putts with your right thumband index finger off the club. Thiswill help eliminate the yips andprovide you with a smooth, effort-less stroke. A lot of golfers are mov-ing towards really large grips to tryto eliminate the hands in the stroke.While these grips help they will notfully eliminate the problem.

The third step is to make surewhen you are putting you keep yourhead as still as possible. There aretwo drills I like to use to work onkeeping my head still.

The first drill is to set up aboutthree feet from the hole and strokeputts trying to hear the ball go intothe hole. If it does not go in, we arenot that worried during this drillwhether you missed on the right orthe left. We are only working onkeeping our head still.

The second drill is to place aquarter on the putting green, thenplace a ball on top of the quarter.Stroke putts making sure you arelooking at the quarter after the ballis gone. Both of these drills can andshould be used with the grip drillfrom above.

We are back to start giving you the informationyou need to prepare for the 2013-14 tennis season.

We have been in touch with league and tournamentorganizers, team captains, tennis instructors and clubsto get updates for the new season. Some of the infor-mation is old news but still needs to be published forthose who missed it the first time,and some info is new. So bear withme and let’s review some of theold stuff.

All the local leagues are on thelookout for new teams to add totheir competition and it would benice if you could let them knowyou are interested in fielding ateam. There are several commu-nities with two tennis courts, butdo not have a team.

Maybe you think that two arenot enough courts to join a league,but it is. All local leagues, exceptfor the Thursday morning league,only use two courts. Even the Thursday league could beplayed at two by playing at two different times, but it’snot necessary. In the other leagues you only need fourplayers to have a team, so if your community has twocourts and you can get four players together, give thema call. There is always a sub list where you can pullplayers if one of your own can’t play.

By the way, all the leagues are also looking to expandtheir sub lists. Call them if you are interested to join;you have about six weeks left to find teammates. For allof you who are not living in a development with courts,you can sign up for that sub list or start a team and playon county or city courts. It might be handy to see if theywould let you reserve the courts for that set time everyother week.

So if you are ready to call, just go down the updatedlist to find the league you are interested in and thechairperson to contact. Come out and join our CitrusCounty tennis family.

Also, last season’s champions appear in the first arti-cle of the new tennis season so we all know which teamto beat.

Despite all the grumbling about tuition increases and student loan costs, other college expenses also are going up. The price of housing and food trumps tuition

costs for students who attend two- and four-year public universities in their home states, according to a College Board survey. Even with the lower interest rates on student loans that President Barack Obama signed into law, students are eyeing bills that

are growing on just about every line.

Community colleges

Private schools

Public four-year schools

The public two-year schools charged in-state students an average $3,131 lastyear, up almost 6 percent from the previous year. While the tuition hike was larger than at other types of schools,students at community colleges saw thesmallest increase in room and board costs— a 1 percent increase to $7,419.

Total charges for students to attend an in-state public

two-year school: $10,550.

Tuition and fees at community collegesare up 24 percent beyond overall inflationover the past five years, according to theCollege Board.

A look at typical collegestudents’ budgets lastyear and how they’re

changing:

Tuition for students attending public four-year schoolsin their state was an average $8,655 last year, a 5 per-cent jump from the previous year. They paid more thanthat — $9,205 — for housing and food. These schools,like other four-year schools, posted a 4 percent jump inhousing costs. Add in books and supplies, transportationand other costs and the total reaches $17,860 to attendan in-state public school, such as a student from Talla-hassee attending Florida State University.

When grants and scholarships are included, the average student pays

$12,110 at such schools.

For students who choose to attend state schools outsidetheir home state, the costs increase to $30,911. Theypay the same $9,205 price tag for room and board, butthe tuition rates are more expensive. The typical stu-dent who crossed state lines to attend a public college in2012 paid $21,706 in tuition and fees after grants andscholarships — a 4 percent jump from the previousyear.

During the past five years, the tuition sticker price atpublic four-year colleges is up 27 percent beyond overallinflation.

On the surface, private four-year schools are the most costly col-leges, with the average student’s sticker price coming in at$39,518 for all expenses. Tuition and fees were $29,056 last year— another 4 percent jump — while room and board ran to$10,462.

After grants and scholarships, the average student paid $23,840 to attend schools

such as Yale or Stanford.

The tuition at private schools was up 13 percent beyond overallinflation during the past five years adjusted for inflation.

Not vacation: Summer learning programs crucialPHILIP ELLIOTT

Associated Press

WASHINGTON— For manystudents and teachers, summervacation was more like summerterm.

Reading lists. Science camps.Portfolio development. The to-do list for kids and teacherssound remarkably alike.Schools are on the hook to im-prove student performance onhigh-stakes tests, administra-tors are eyeing more scienceand technology instruction, andparents are demanding morefor their children.

Some studies suggest stu-dents lose as much as twomonths of knowledge over thesummer. Advocates say educa-tors can’t expect their studentsto succeed if they, too, spendthe summer months poolside.

“Summer learning space istime for innovation,” said GaryHuggins, chief executive officerof the National Summer Learn-ing Association. “Innovationdoesn’t flow easily into theschool year.”

That’s why summer programsused the past few months to trynew things.

Teachers in one of Chicago’sstruggling elementary schoolshuddled for two months thissummer to retool the readingcurriculum for first- and second-graders.

Elsewhere, more than 4,000teachers turned to a weeklonglesson on water purification to

see if parts of it could work dur-ing the school year.

In New York City’s Harlemneighborhood, students spentsix weeks flipping throughbooks on everything from hip-hop to Depression-era toys in

an effort to spark an interest inreading and narrow the gap be-tween the scores of rich andpoor students.

All were fresh approachesthat could make their way intothe school-year classrooms.

Think of summer programs as atest drive for some lessonswithout the pressure, a chanceto try something without consequences.

If things don’t work out, theside effect is that maybe stu-

dents don’t forget so much asthey learned last year.

“There’s been all this workdone and investment madeover the last nine months andthen that investment stops,”said Pam Allyn, executive di-rector of LitWorld, a literacynonprofit. “For every kid — no matter where they live —out of school time is reallyproblematic.”

Allyn compares it to sports:“If you’re going for a run orplaying tennis, if you take twomonths off, you might havesome muscle memory left butyou’re not going to be in thesame shape.”

That principle applies to stu-dents as well as teachers.

In Chicago, principal ShawnJackson spent the better part ofhis summer meeting with col-leagues to redesign the readingprogram at Spencer Elemen-tary Technology Academy.

“It took us a good two months.We took the whole summer,” hesaid.

Their answer: a stuffed ani-mal called “CY-BEAR.” Eachstudent this fall will be given astuffed bear that they will readto, reducing anxiety to performwell in front of classmates.

It sounds unusual, Jacksonacknowledges, but studies havefound it can help improvescores among students whoseparents don’t regularly read tothem. That translates to neededgains; about 85 percent of

Sophie Mortner, foreground right, reads aloud for youngsters attending LitCamp, a summer readingprogram offered through the nonprofit literacy organization LitWorld, in the Harlem neighborhood ofNew York. “I often times pick and choose the book that I love,” said Mortner, a camp counselor whoassists with curriculum development. “Often times they choose that book the next day to read.”

See SUMMER/Page C2

Jackson’s 930 studentsread below grade leveland almost all come fromlow-income homes.

“During the school year,there are so many othervariables that can comeinto play. Day-to-day oper-ations, sometimes we getinto their own silos,teachers have to worryabout the 30 students infront of them,” Jacksonsaid.

So he and his teamcompeted in the ChicagoPublic Education Fund’sSummer Design Program,an innovation challengethat offered educators upto $10,000 to test theirideas.

“Most people wouldtake the time to relax,”Jackson said.

Instead, he and histeam rewrote the school’sreading program, over-hauling how his youngeststudents spend two hourseach day.

Discovery Educationpulled together a free se-ries of lessons rooted inScience, Technology, En-gineering and Math, orSTEM, as educatorsbrand the emphasis. Onelesson on water wasdownloaded by 4,000 sum-mer educators.

The lesson-in-a-box of-fered summer schoolteachers a chance to try anew way to get to studentsinterested in STEM sub-jects. Video, experiments,journals — all ready forteachers and students totry to bring up theirSTEM literacy amongfifth- to eighth-graders.

As a bonus for one ofthe nation’s biggest edu-cation companies, it couldland them new customersduring the regular schoolyear if teachers likedwhat they saw.

“Teachers are teachingall day, they’re not givenrelease time. They don’thave the time amongeverything else to comeup with these summer les-sons,” said LanceRougeux, a formerteacher who led the teamthat put together Discov-ery’s STEM campcurriculum.

Among the ready-madelessons, there’s one onwater in which studentsbuild boats to transportweights, measure erosionand calculate the percent-age of sugar found in vari-ous beverages, while alsodoing relay races withsponges and other competitions.

“I think that’s the direc-tion people are going: tosummer enrichment at aschool instead of a campwhere you play basketballfor half the day, feed youlunch and do some crafts.There’s value in that forsocial development. Butwe can trick — I hate tosay it — trick students tolearn,” Rougeux said.

“If all we’re doing isbaby-sitting, we don’tneed summer camps. Youneed baby-sitting services.”

If the counselors pickup a trick or two to takewith them back to theclassrooms this fall, allthe better.

That’s what leaders inHarlem hoped for the 40students who attended aLitWorld Camp.

“We want to do some-

thing always fun. Theycan read what they want.They are encouraged tofeel positive about whatthey’re learning,” saidMadison Graboyes, whoruns the day camp.

If students show an in-terest in cooking or ani-mals, hip-hop or vintagetoys, leaders find booksthat match up with theirinterests. Students wrotesongs based on books onhip-hop and designedtheir own toys based onthe ones they read aboutfrom the Depression,Colonial times and an-cient Egypt.

“We’re not prescribedto a certain curriculum,”she said. “We’re able totake our goals for what wehope our kids can get outof it and connect that towhat they want.”

That approach perhapscan offset the knowledgeloss that happens whenthey aren’t reading andcounting every day.

“None of the kids aregoing to sign up for areading or math programto be honest. They’regoing to sign up becausethey can have field tripsand guest speakers,”Tiffany Cooper Gueye,CEO of summer programgiant BELL that teachesthousands of at-risk stu-dents in 12 cities includ-ing Boston, San Jose,Calif., and Baltimore.

“It’s often the case wemitigate the summerlearning loss,” she added.

“We’re actually helpingthem accelerating theirlearning.”

Take a Look Around

A World Full of Art Art is all around us — in our parks, post offices, houses of worship, schools and other public buildings. The buildings themselves may be works of art. Many towns have art museums or galleries. But often we don’t really see the art in our environment. We don’t take time to stop and look. The Mini Page talked with an expert from the Smithsonian American Art Museum to learn more about the elements, or building blocks, of art.

True seeing

When we view art, it’s fun to wonder about the decisions the artist made. For example, you might ask: Why is the sculpture in the park made of metal? Why not wood? Why does an artist use certain colors? How does the light change the art? When did the artist create the work? What was going on at that time? If the art was painted during the Revolutionary War, for example, what was the artist’s point of view? Did that influence how the art was made or what it showed?

The building blocks

Artists use elements of art to create their works. These elements are:

These elements allow the artist to deliver messages, make the viewer feel and think, tell stories or create beauty.

Drawing the line

The line is the main building block of art. It can be an outline, a shading line, straight, curved, zigzagging or spiral.

Different types of lines create different feelings. For example, how does a zigzagging line make you feel?

Zigzags can create strong emotions; they give a sense of energy and activity. Your eyes have to work harder, so there is more tension than if your eye just moved straight across the paper. What kind of feelings do curvy lines create? How about straight lines?

Shaping the ArtThe implied line

A line doesn’t have to be actually drawn in the picture. It can be strongly suggested, or implied. For example, artists don’t have to draw in a black line to show the horizon, or the line where the Earth seems to meet the sky. The composition of the painting creates the horizon line, separating the sky from the ocean or the land.

Creating forms

When we add depth, shapes become forms with three dimensions: length,

width and depth. For example, a square becomes a cube, a circle becomes a sphere and a

triangle becomes a cone.

Shapes

form shapes. For example, three lines come together to form a triangle. Four lines form a square. One continuous line that’s bent forms a circle. Shapes

can be flat, or they can have depth.

Look at the horizon line in “Maine Coast” by William E. Norton. The horizon is an invisible straight line. This creates a calm, smooth scene.

Sculptures are all 3-D. It is easy to see three dimensions in sculptures such as “Nenuphar” by Alexander Calder.

Adding Depth and Meaning

Space

Shapes and forms exist in space. Space creates forms. Positive space is the part of the picture that your eye focuses on. It is the scenery, the person or the object that is the subject of the art. Negative space is the empty space around the subject. It is the area around, above, below or within objects. It is the background of the subject.

Texture

Texture is how a thing feels or how it looks like it would feel. Artists use elements such as light and dark to give materials such as cloth or glass a feeling of texture.

Color

movement. If artists put contrasting colors, such as red and green, next to each other, the colors seem to vibrate. Single colors can seem to move too. Warm colors, such as red, orange and yellow, look like they come forward

and blue, seem to move back in space.

In “Sally Avery With Still Life” by Milton Avery, the woman, the table and the bowl of apples are positive space. The background is the negative space. The way the artist treats the negative space affects how we see the positive space. For example, in this picture, the negative space is dark and empty. This makes the woman look lonely and sad.

The Mini Page thanks Carol Wilson, assistant chair, in-gallery education programs, Smithsonian American Art Museum, for help with this issue.

Next week, The Mini Page is about the Newbery and Caldecott honor winners.

Childe Hassam, Improvisation, 1899, oil on canvas, Smithsonian American Art Museum

Color helps move the viewer’s eye around the artwork, as with “Improvisation” by Childe Hassam.

“The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations’ Millennium General Assembly” is almost completely symmetrical. Each half has something that echoes the other half.

The artist, James Hampton, was a janitor who worked on this sculpture for 14 years in his garage. He made it entirely from discarded materials he found, such as old light bulbs, bits of foil and jelly glasses.

In John Singleton Copley’s “Mrs. George Watson,” the dress looks satiny. How do you think the artist accomplishes this?

Tricks of the artist

Symmetry (SIM-i-tree) is when one side matches the other. For example, our bodies have symmetry; each half has an arm and a leg. Symmetry calms us. When a scene is not symmetrical, it looks out of balance. This adds energy and tension to the art. Artists use special tricks to create perspective (per-SPEK-tiv), or how the viewer sees things. For example, they use size to make things look close or far away. Things that are small seem farther away than things that are big.

Tax-Aide services of the AARP inCitrus County needs technical coor-dinator volunteers for the season.

“These are the people who sup-port the computers and computernetworks for the free program,”said John Clarke, area Tax-Aidecoordinator.

“They are far from complex, pri-marily consisting of simple “peer-to-peer” networks, understandingrelatively simple routers and theirconfiguration and linking a net-

work to the Internet through site-supplied, dedicated IP’s.

“While, in general, we would an-ticipate these folks also avail them-selves of our tax counselor training,which is of course at no cost, it isnot a requirement of the position,”Clarke said.

Clarke said this need in no waydownplays the continuing criticalneed for tax preparation coun-selors and volunteers to fill admin-istrative positions. The needs aresignificant there, as well.

“Fully 98 percent of our volun-

teers return year after year,”Clarke said. “It’s, to put it simply, agratifying, fulfilling and super feel-ing to know you are helping yourfriends and neighbors who, throughno fault of their own, are strugglingon a limited income. There is nocharge for our services, ever.”

Volunteer technical coordinatorsposition, must have some basictechnical background. Beyond that,AARP will provide the one-on-onecounseling and other tools needed.

Don Hewitt, best known for creating “60 Min-utes,” said, “Let’s give the conventions back tothe politicians. If we think there’s any news,we can tack it on afterward as commentary.But the conventions should be their show, notours.”

Let’s give the bidding conventions back tothe experts. Let’s concentrate on the card play,winning the necessary number of tricks. What-ever conventions are used, often the samefinal contract will be reached.

In today’s deal, South is in six no-trump.West leads the spade 10. Declarer wins withdummy’s king, then calls for a low club, gettingready to claim. But when East discards a heart,how should South react?

South opened with a strong and artificialtwo clubs. North responded three clubs toshow five-plus clubs and eight-plus points.Then North’s four-diamond rebid was a mod-ern convention, Redwood — Roman Key CardBlackwood in clubs. South’s reply showed fourkey cards (three aces and the club king, or fouraces). North put his partner into six no-trump,a wise choice given the bad club break.

Declarer has only 11 top winners: threespades, four hearts, two diamonds and twoclubs. If he gives West the club king now, Southwill be forced to find the diamond queen. In-stead, he should win with his club ace, thenlead the club five. West must duck; otherwise,South claims. Then, after winning the trickwith dummy’s queen, declarer plays a spade tohis ace and runs the diamond jack throughWest. Even if the finesse loses, South has threespades, four hearts, three diamonds and twoclubs for his contract.

Dear Annie: I’ve found anew way to get freefood: dumpster diving.

Several times a week, a groupof us go through the super-market dumpster at night tosee what they’ve thrownaway. Sometimesthere’s nothing, butother times, there’sgreat stuff.

One night, Ifound nine ears ofcorn. Another time,it was 23 packs ofchicken. I’ve foundhoneydew melons,cherries, grapes,peppers, tomatoes,potatoes and allsorts of other good-ies. I thoroughlyboil the meat andpoultry before eat-ing it, and I washthe fruit and pour boilingwater over it. It loses somecolor, but still tastes sweet. Icook all vegetables.

The problem is, there’s astigma to this. People give usdirty looks. We’re very carefulnot to make a mess. We leaveeverything spotless. But thestore manager hates us. Andif my mother knew about this,she’d throw a fit.

I can’t figure out why this isso despised. Why should Ihave to pay all that money forfood when I can get it fornothing? — New York

Dear New York: Most peo-ple aren’t willing to gothrough someone else’sgarbage in order to find edi-ble food that isn’t contami-nated, rotten, partially eatenor long past the expirationdate. And while we knowsome folks do this for eco-nomic reasons or as a protestagainst the “system,” most

people find it distasteful anddemeaning. We think theowners of groceries andrestaurants are entitled toearn a living, too, and wewould hope that still-ediblefood is donated to food

pantries wheneverpossible.

Dear Annie: Idon’t know how toget rid of my pestof a neighbor. Imoved to this com-munity three yearsago, after my di-vorce. I befriended“Joyce,” a womanin her 70s wholives two doorsdown.

Joyce won’t leaveme alone. When Ientertain my fi-ance or friends,

she is sure to walk over unin-vited and interrupt us. Onseveral occasions, I’ve givenher my business card andasked her to call first to makesure I’m not busy. It hasn’tworked. She also drinks mywine, and even though shehas an extensive wine collec-tion, she never offers to re-place the bottle sheconsumed at my place.

At times, I’ve had to shutmy curtains and hide in mybedroom until she is gone.Help. — Prisoner in My OwnHome in Southern California

Dear Prisoner: Joyce islonely and either clueless ordeliberately obtuse. It is akindness to include her whenyou can, but you also are enti-tled to entertain without her.So you will need to be a bitmore assertive and willing toupset her. The next timeJoyce comes over unan-nounced and unwanted, stop

her at the door and say,“Joyce, I have company. Youwill have to come back an-other time.” If she gets teary,outraged, pushy or anythingelse, simply repeat that shewill have to come back an-other time. Don’t let her walkbeyond the threshold.

Dear Annie: This is in re-sponse to “Need To Know inSaskatoon,” the woman whodisliked her dentist referringto her as “dear.”

I am a busy ob-gyn. I oftencall my patients by some suchall-purpose term of endear-ment when I blank out andcannot remember their givenname. It only means that I ambusy and forgetful and have alot on my mind. But at thesame time, I want the patientto feel closer to me than shewould if I did not address herat all. Your dentist only wantsyou to feel relaxed and com-fortable. — Little Doctor

Dear Doctor: That won’twork if the patient finds it of-fensive and condescending.Some people don’t mind theendearment. Those who doneed to inform the doctor,and the doctor needs to takethe objection seriously.
