Progress:Nuclearplant willbe repaired

CRYSTAL RIVER— Progress EnergyFlorida plans to re-pair the contain-ment structure atthe Crystal River nu-clear plant andhopes to have theplant in service by2014, company offi-cials said Monday.

Company officialsestimate the repaircost at between$900 million and$1.3 billion. Thecompany meetswith the PublicService CommissionJuly 14 to discussthe company’s plansin detail and deter-mine a timeline formoving forward.

The plant shutdown in September2009 for refuelingand routine mainte-nance. During thatshutdown, workerscreated an openingin the structure toreplace the steamgenerators inside.

Initial damage tothe plant’s contain-ment building oc-curred during thatwork. The companyspent about $117million to repair thedamage.

In mid-March,during the final stagesof returning theplant to service, en-gineers discoveredanother crack in thecontainment wall.

The second sepa-ration occurredabout 9 inches fromthe outer surface ofthe concrete. Thecontainment structureis 42 inches thick.

The plant remainsshut down and is insafe condition, acompany news re-lease stated.

The company isinsured for propertydamage and incre-mental costs of re-placement powerresulting from pro-longed accidentaloutages. Progress isinsured for up to$2.25 billion perevent for propertydamage and up to$490 million for re-placement power,the company said.

Meanwhile, theNuclear RegulatoryCommission meetsTuesday at Planta-tion Inn in CrystalRiver to hear com-ments for the com-pany’s request toextend its nuclearplant license by 20years. The meetingsare at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The NRC has con-cluded there are noenvironmental im-pacts precludingthe extension.

Associated Press

CHICAGO — Rod Blago-jevich, who rode his talka-tive everyman image to twoterms as Illinois governorbefore scandal made him anational punch line, wasconvicted Monday of a widerange of corruption charges,including the incendiary al-legation that he tried to sellor trade President BarackObama’s Senate seat.

The verdict was a bitterdefeat for Blagojevich, whospent 2 1/2 years professinghis innocence on reality TVshows and later on the wit-ness stand. His defenseteam had insisted thathours of FBI wiretaprecordings were just theramblings of a politicianwho liked to think out loud.

HOSPITAL BOARD OF TRUSTEESCitrus Memorial Hospital wasfounded in 1957. It is a 501 (C) 3charitable organization. It becameknown as Citrus Memorial HealthSystem in 2005 as it added spe-cialized and freestanding services.It is a not-for-profit community hos-pital chartered by the state with advalorem taxing authority. The fivemembers of the board of trusteesare appointed by the governor andhave the authority to levy ad val-orem taxes up to 3 mills per calen-dar year without voter referendumor county commission approval. Theboard of trustees leases the hospi-tal to the foundation to operate it.

CITRUS MEMORIALHEALTH FOUNDATIONCitrus Memorial Health Foundationis described as the fundraising armof CMHS and has operational au-thority for the hospital. It is a not-for-profit, private corporation. It wasestablished in 1987 by the board oftrustees to save the hospital about$300,000 a year in retirement con-tributions by being able to use a pri-vate pension fund and streamline

future joint business arrangementswith health care providers. It iscomprised of the five members ofthe board of trustees and eightother members. The foundationleases the hospital from the board oftrustees and manages the fundraisingand charitable giving for the hospital.It also issues investment bonds toraise funds for hospital improvements.A $10 million bond was issued inSeptember 2008 for expansion andupgrading of the emergency de-partment and the construction ofthe recently opened health care fa-cility near Sugarmill Woods.

ADMINISTRATIONHospital officers have been employedby the foundation for their educa-tion and experience in operating thehospital. These officers maintainthe day-to-day functions of the hos-pital and advise the board oftrustees and the foundation aboutproviding present and future care.

WHERE TAX MONEY GOESCMHS provides care to patients whomeet the criteria of its charity carepolicy without charge or at amountsless than its established rates. The

administrators do not pursue col-lection of amounts determined toqualify as charity care, and theseamounts are not reported as net pa-tient service. The board of trusteeshired the foundation to assist withfunding for uncompensated care.

WHAT CAUSED THE CONFLICTIn 2006, CMHS was granted sover-eign immunity status, which capsthe liability of its doctors at$200,000. However, the questionraised by the board of trustees iswhether the foundation shouldenjoy sovereign immunity if it doesnot answer to the board of trustees.The benefit of sovereign immunityis awarded by government to publicbodies and means a public body isimmune to lawsuits unless it givesits consent. Therefore, the trusteeswant greater oversight of the foun-dation’s operations, because if thefoundation can enjoy the benefit ofsovereign immunity, it should com-ply with the Sunshine Law, as doesthe board of trustees. The founda-tion directors believe the currentstructure maintains an independenthospital free of political influencesand agendas.

The Citrus Memorial HealthFoundation will not go quietlyinto the night.

CHRIS VAN ORMERStaff Writer

T he lawsuit seeking a temporary injunctionagainst a new law has some pros and cons.

As only one section is challenged, the rest of thelaw can do its work, including clearing up somepending lawsuits. But whether the challenge suc-ceeds or fails, more legal work will stretch into thefuture.

This was the analysis Bill Grant, general coun-sel for the Citrus County Hospital Board, pre-sented Monday at a meeting of the board oftrustees. The Citrus Memorial Health Foundationearlier that day filed a request for a temporary in-junction in Leon County Circuit Court against thenew law signed Friday by Gov. Rick Scott to givethe trustees more oversight of the hospital.

“The portions of the bill that they are seekingnot to enjoin and find unconstitutional basically

Trustees learn impactof injunction lawsuit

Legislation that Gov.Rick Scott signed into lawlate Friday is alreadybeing challenged as un-constitutional, accordingto a lawsuit the foundationfiled first thingMonday morning.

The lawsuit,which asks for atemporary in-junction to en-sure the law doesnot take effectJuly 1 and a per-manent injunction over-turning the law, was filedin Leon County Circuit Courtin Tallahassee because thelegislation originated andbecame law there.

A hearing is set for 6a.m. Wednesday beforeCircuit Court Judge JackieFulford, who said the foun-dation must show causewhy the case should not betransferred to Citrus County.

The lawsuit is the latestin a two-year battle for con-trolof Citrus County’s publichospital between the foun-dation and Citrus CountyHospital Board of Trustees.

The legislation, sponsoredby state Rep. Jimmie T. Smith,R-Inverness, gives the boardof trustees oversight.

The foundation argues ithas a 43-year lease to op-

erate the hospi-tal, agreed to byboth the founda-tion and board oftrustees in 1990and that only thefoundation canbreak the lease.The special law,

it states in the injunctionlawsuit, effectively voidsthat contract.

Ryan Beaty, hospital chiefexecutive officer, said Mon-day the board of trusteesforced the foundation’s handby pushing for the legislation.

“It’s really dishearten-ing that it’s come to this,but we have to do every-thing we can to protect thehospital and our patients,”he said.

Trustees attorney BillGrant predicted the foun-dation will not win.

CRYSTAL RIVER — Thebattle lines have been drawn.

The sentiment at Mondaynight’s special councilmeeting concerning federalregulations by the U.S. Fishand Wildlife Services wasthat the city has been afaithful advocate for mana-tees, yet it has to defend it-self in order to maintain thequality of life and propertyvalues around King’s Bay.

Mayor Jim Farley warnedthe nearly 75 people in at-tendance that if the federalregulations are adopted, itis just the beginning.

“Federal fingers are ineverything, ladies and gen-tleman,” he said. “This isnot only about reducing thespeed limit on King’s Bay.”

Under bill, joblessbenefits scaled back

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. RickScott has signed bills that willcut Florida unemployment com-pensation benefits and make itharder for patients to win med-ical malpractice lawsuits.

Scott on Monday also vetoedthree bills including one (HB4045) that would have scaledback state regulation of as-sisted living facilities.

The unemployment bill (HB7005) is intended to cut taxespaid by employers. It will re-duce maximum state benefitsfor jobless workers from 26 to23 weeks. The cap would dropeven lower if Florida’s unem-ployment rate is below 10.5percent.

The medical malpractice law(HB 479) was the Florida Med-ical Association’s top legislativepriority this year.

It includes provisions de-signed to curtail testimony byout-of-state experts. The lawalso provides immunity to doc-tors who volunteer their serv-ices to college and prep sportsteams.

DESTIN — A gravely ill 95-year-oldwoman had to remove her wet diaperat an airport so that she could be pat-ted down by security screeners andnearly missed her flight, her daughtersaid Monday.

During the pat-down, Transporta-tion Security Administration inspec-tors found a mass on Lena Reppert’supper thigh, her daughter JeanWeber said. The mass was a hard spoton the diaper that had become heavyand concentrated in that place be-cause it was wet. Reppert, who is in awheelchair, had to be patted down be-cause she couldn’t go through a scan-ning machine, and the TSA agentsthought it would be too personal tosearch the diaper.

Reppert couldn’t board a June 18flight from Northwest Florida Re-gional Airport in Fort Walton Beachto Detroit until she was cleared by se-curity, Weber said. Reppert, who hasleukemia and had been living in theFlorida Panhandle, was returning toher native Hastings, Mich., where shewants to be buried.

Weber, a waitress, said she was toldthe diaper would have to be removed

so agents could finish their pat-down.They had not packed extra diapers intheir carry-on because her motherhas never needed backups before.

“She had to remove them,” Webersaid. “She would not be cleared withthose Depends on.”

TSA officials said the agency’s in-spectors did nothing wrong and fol-lowed proper procedure. SpokesmanNick Kimball also said the officersdid not force Reppert to remove thediaper.

“While every person and item mustbe screened before entering the se-cure boarding area, TSA works withpassengers to resolve security alarmsin a respectful and sensitive manner,”Kimball said.

Officials offered to pull their lug-gage off the plane so Reppert couldchange into a clean diaper, but Webersaid she feared her mother, a retirednurse, would miss her flight.

“She is frail. I had arranged forthese times because it’s the time shewas the strongest every day,” Webersaid. “I just did not want to put herthrough some kind of wait.”

However, Weber said the agentswould not allow her to remove the di-aper in the screening room — so she

had to take her mother to a restroomoutside the security area, and thenwait in line to be screened again. Thesecond time, Weber said she triggeredan alarm herself because she wasupset and crying.

They tested her purse for chemicalswhile her mother finished her pat-down in private, she said. By then, shehad lost her pass allowing her to es-cort her mother to her gate and askedairport workers to take the woman.

“It was a traumatic moment for mebecause I know my mother is very illand hopefully I can get up to see herbefore anything happens,” Weber said.

TSA has tightened security after aNigerian man was charged with try-ing to ignite explosives he had hiddenin his underwear on a flight to Detroitfrom Europe on Christmas Day 2009.

However, the full-body scans andpat-downs have been criticized bytravelers.

Earlier this year, for example, theagency was criticized for pattingdown a 6-year-old girl at the New Or-leans airport. Last week, TSA officialssaid that security workers would nowbe told to make repeated attempts toscreen young children without re-sorting to the pat-downs.

INVERNESS — A 22-year-oldman accused of shooting and killinghis friend was sentenced to twoyears in prison Monday afternoon.

Kenneth Clyde Bartels wascharged with manslaughter in con-nection to an investigation thatbegan June 9, 2010, when dispatch-ers received a call at 1 a.m. aboutthe death of a teenager.

Austin Porter, 18, of Inverness, re-portedly was at a friend’s house at

7089 N. Palmer Way, Hernando,when he and some acquaintancesstarted passing around a shotgun.At the time, Assistant State AttorneyRich Buxman said Monday in courtthat Bartels was using Xanax.

At some point, the gun fired, au-thorities said, and Porter suffered afatal head wound.

Porter’s body was taken to theDistrict 5 Medical Examiner’s Of-fice in Leesburg for an autopsy andthe sheriff ’s office opened an un-known-death investigation.

According to officials, detectives

were receiving conflicting sto-ries from people at the sceneand their associates. Sheriff’sspokeswoman Gail Tierneytold a Chronicle reporter inAugust the results of the au-topsy coupled with the inves-tigation led to Bartels’ arrest.

“This was not a self-in-flicted gunshot wound,” shesaid.

Bartels, whose addresswas listed as “at large” in hisarrest report, was taken intocustody Aug. 20 and trans-ported to the Citrus CountyDetention Facility, where his bondwas set at $10,000. Bartels reportedlybonded out the day of his arrest.

During Monday’s hearing, Bar-tels, dressed in a black shirt and

baggy jeans, spoke very lit-tle, generally only to answerCircuit Judge Ric Howard’squestions.

Porter’s mother ad-dressed the court, speakingon behalf of her family andPorter’s friends. She ques-tioned why Bartels allowedher son to lay bleeding formore than an hour beforecalling for help. She also re-futed Bartels’ claims that hewas her son’s friend.

“Austin was a truefriend,” she said as she

listed her son’s qualities. “He willforever be loved and missed.”

Building up, tearing down

CRYSTAL RIVER — What hadbeen the largest classroom build-ing at Crystal River High Schoolis now part of the school’s past.

Last week, construction crewsused heavy equipment to knockdown the 500 Building to makeroom for the school’s renovationand expansion — a project thathas been ongoing for a year now.

Clyde Douglas, project man-ager for the Citrus County Schooldistrict, said the building was be-tween 50,000 to 75,000 square feetin size.

The new two-story administra-tion and classroom buildings areslated to be finished Aug. 1, ac-cording to Gary Goodman, a con-struction project manager forACA Construction Group LLC,the building contractor doing thework at the high school. Studentsreturn to school Aug. 8.

Also set for completion as partof Phase 1A of the constructionproject: a new chiller buildingand a baseball field completewith a new concession stand.

In the main lobby of the ad-ministration building, the floor-ing is stained and highly polishedconcrete, dark gray with a wavydesign of dark blue in the middleto represent a river.

“There’s a lot of finishes goingon here now,” Douglas said, re-ferring to the work going on inthe final weeks before the twobuildings are complete, from in-stalling flooring to placing ceilingtiles.

Once the concrete slab fromthe old 500 Building is removedfor recycling, a new courtyard inthe shape of a half-circle will beinstalled in part of the footprintof the old building. The completecircular courtyard will be com-pleted later. For now, the otherhalf will be part of a staging areafor construction crews to con-tinue their work.

In mid-November, constructionis slated to start on the new fresh-man academy, which will connectto the new administration build-ing via a covered walkway. This ispart of Phase 2B.

The next step in the processalso includes gutting the old ad-ministration building at the endof August to house the school’shealth academy. Crews will alsorenovate Building 300 to housethe new agriculture shop, relo-cate the fish hatchery, wood-working and welding lab andFFA into the repurposed space.This process should be com-pleted before the end of thisyear.

The total cost of both stages ofPhase 1 is less than $21 million.Phase 2 includes a new, larger

media center. Douglas said thecurrent media center is less than8,000 square feet and the newbuilding will have about 27,000square feet.

Goodman estimated the cost ofPhase 2 at around $12 million.

He praised the cooperative at-titude at the school.

“The administration has beenwonderful to work with,” Good-man said. “We’re disrupting theirentire world right now andthey’ve been super.”

Casey Anthony

competentfor trial

Associated Press

ORLANDO — A judgeruled Monday that CaseyAnthony is competent toremain on trial for mur-der in the death of her 2-year-old daughter afterher own lawyers ques-tioned her mental health.

Anthony’s attorneys toldthe judge they did not be-lieve she was competent.They said that assessmentwas based on their privi-leged communicationwith her, but did not elab-orate in a motion filed Sat-urday and sealed until thejudge ruled Monday.

The motion halted whathad been expected to be afull day of testimony Sat-urday by witnesses. Aftermeeting with attorneys,Judge Belvin Perry toldcourtroom attorneys andspectators a “legal mat-ter” had come up thatwould delay proceedings.

Perry asked for a reviewof whether Anthony couldcomprehend the chargesagainst her and the possiblepenalties, and if she couldtestify relevantly if called tothe stand. Anthony was ex-amined by three psycholo-gists over the weekend.After reading their reports,Perry ruled Monday thetrial should continue.

“Based upon the re-ports that the court has re-viewed, the court will findthat the defendant is com-petent to proceed,” Perrysaid at the start of Mon-day’s hearing, the 29th dayof testimony.

In a separate motion,Anthony’s attorneys askedthe judge to declare a mis-trial and select a new jury.New jurors would not beasked before being se-lected whether theywould be qualified to con-sider the death penalty.

Attorneys sought the mo-tion based on a ruling by afederal judge in Miami lastweek. It declared Florida’sdeath penalty unconstitu-tional because jurors arenot required to say whataggravating factor or fac-tors led them to recom-mend death.

Judges, though, are re-quired to explain why theyimpose death sentences.They aren’t required tofollow jury recommenda-tions but must give themgreat weight.

The ruling does not au-tomatically void Florida’sdeath penalty law. An-thony’s attorneys haveasked for a hearing on themotion, but it had notbeen scheduled as of Mon-day afternoon.

Anthony has pleadednot guilty to first-degreemurder and could face thedeath penalty if convictedof that charge. Her defenseattorneys claim her daugh-ter Caylee Anthony acci-dentally drowned in thefamily’s swimming pool.

manatee refuge. It wants ayear-round slow speed,which would eliminate thecurrent summer 35 mph“sport zone” around Buz-zard Island. Other points ofthe ruling are snorkeling isOK in Three SistersSprings, but scuba diving isnot; federal officials couldcreate no-entry zones insmaller springs if weatheris cold enough; federal offi-cials could close access toThree Sisters and othersprings for no more than 14days if a cold front hits ei-ther before or after mana-tee season; and ThreeSisters Springs would beclosed from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.during manatee season,from Nov. 15 to March 15.

“How much of our water-way can you control?”Councilman Mike Gudisasked David Hankla, fieldsupervisor with USFWC,who answered questions.

Hankla said the federalgovernment has to makechanges when even onedeath of a manatee occurs

because it is on the endan-gered species list.

“Zero is the number wehave to have,” he told thecouncil. “There has beenseven manatee fatalities inKing’s Bay since 2009 andthat is unacceptable.”

But fighting governmentis not going to be easy.

City Manager Andy Hous-ton told the council it had totake serious steps when at-tempting to prevent the fed-eral agency from enactingthe ruling.

“To be for or against (thisruling) for emotional rea-sons isn’t going to carry usfar in this debate,” he said.“We need to have scientificor commercial reasons.”

Councilwoman PaulaWheeler said the increasein numbers of manateesliving in the area showsCrystal River is doingsomething right. However,by the government pushingfor these regulations, it isoverstepping its authoritywith no consideration ofresidents or businesses,

she said.“We are good stewards of

the river,” she said. “We livethis river. We don’t needsomeone from Jacksonvilleto come down here and tellus what is best for us.”

Support was also given bythe county’s five commis-sioners, who attended themeeting. Each spoke andsaid it is important to fightthe move to control whattakes place on King’s Bay.The commission will haveits own discussion Tuesdayduring its meeting.

Josh Wooten, director ofthe Citrus County Chamberof Commerce, said it alsopassed a resolution anddrafted a letter of supportbecause of the tourism andeconomic impact on thecounty.

Commissioner Joe Meeksaid he personally has al-ready approached state andfederal lawmakers aboutsupporting both the city ofCrystal River and thecounty in the matter.

“They are putting mana-

tees ahead of humans,” hesaid.

County officials agreed towork in “partnership” andprovide a united front whenboth sides present theircase at the July 7 meetingwith USFWS in Lecanto.

More than a dozen residentsin the audience also spoke.

Rod Shidler has lived onthe water since 1985 andsaid he has seen a 450 per-cent increase in the num-ber of manatees.

“How many manateescan be allowed in the bay ina given day?” he said. “Dowe manage the manatees ordo they manage us?”

The council unanimouslyvoted to support a resolu-tion to ask the federalagency not to place furtherrestrictions and controls onKing’s Bay.

In other business, thecouncil passed an ordinancebanning sales of alcoholafter midnight at storesselling packaged alcoholand one allowing 7 a.m.sales of alcohol on Sundays.

For the RECORD Commissioner Joe Meek said hepersonally has already approached

state and federal lawmakers.

will rid the taxpayers of theburden of having to litigatemany portions of the law-suits the foundation has al-ready filed,” Grant said.

Grant called parts of thelawsuit frivolous.

“On the lawsuit that theyfiled today, the frivolity ofwhat’s going on is readilyapparent,” he said. “Whatthey’ve done here is theyhave thrown in some frivo-lous claims to get a venue inLeon County, but your lawyerswill handle that. Those arefrivolous and really kind ofridiculous and they don’treally have a date for it. So,some of those things will goby the wayside becausethey’re not going to be ableto substantiate them.”

Trustee Debbie Resslerasked Grant to clarify thoseclaims. He said the lawsuitcontained an allegation of aSunshine Law violation

some time in April, mean-ing a complaint about thetrustees conforming to openmeeting requirements, butit was not specific, he said.

Another outcome of goingto court could be the twoboards having to mediate tosettle their differences.

“It’s been my experiencewith these colleagues that wetried to approach them 17times in the last 18 monthsto resolve this,” Grant said.“So we may see court inter-vention to compel them toget a status conference infront of the court to do awaywith some of this litigation.”

Trustee Michael Small-ridge questioned why theboard of trustees wasnamed in the lawsuit whenthe Florida Legislature ap-proved the law.

The offices of the FloridaGovernor and the FloridaAttorney General would bejoining the trustees in thecase, Grant said.

The Leon County CircuitCourt could take evidenceand decide within two

weeks if the case had merit,Grant said. It could grant aninjunction in its entirety, asrequested. Or, it could grantan injunction in part. Or itcould deny the request.

Grant said he did not ex-pect an injunction to begranted, and he did antici-pate the foundation attor-neys appealing it.

“If they don’t like it, they

can seek a stay in the ap-pellate court,” he said.“This is how they are goingto play this out.”

Getting a temporary in-junction would lead to re-questing a permanentinjunction against the newlaw, he said. But if the courtwere to dismiss the requestfor an injunction, it wouldnot put an end to legal ac-

tion as the foundation couldsue as the leaseholder ofthe hospital.

“If it’s denied, then therewill be no permanent in-junction hearing,” Grantsaid. “But then we just go tothe lawsuit. That will takemany, many months.”

Grant asked the trusteesto set shade meetings for at-torneys to discuss strategieswith them and to keep thetrustees apprised of the coststhat would be incurred.

IMPACTContinued from Page A1

Another outcome of going to courtcould be the two boards having tomediate to settle their differences.

He faces up to 300 yearsin prison, although federalsentencing guidelines aresure to significantly reducehis time behind bars.

After hearing the verdict,Blagojevich turned to de-fense attorney SheldonSorosky and asked “Whathappened?” His wife, Patti,slumped against herbrother, then rushed intoher husband’s arms.

The former governor spokeonly briefly with reportersas he left the courthouse,saying he was disappointedand stunned by the verdict.

“The conduct would makeLincoln roll over in hisgrave,” U.S. AttorneyPatrick Fitzgerald said be-fore a bank of televisioncameras after the arrest.

He pledged to retry thegovernor after the first jurydeadlocked on all but theleast serious of 24 chargesagainst him.

This time, the 12 jurorsvoted to convict the 54-year-old Blagojevich on 17 of 20counts after deliberatingnine days. He also faces upto five additional years inprison for his previous con-viction of lying to the FBI.

Blagojevich was acquittedof soliciting bribes in the al-leged shakedown of a road-building executive. The jurydeadlocked on two chargesof attempted extortion re-lated to that executive andfunding for a school.

Judge James Zagel hasbarred Blagojevich fromtraveling outside the areawithout permission. A statushearing for sentencing wasset for Aug. 1.

After his arrest, Blagoje-vich called federal prosecu-tors “cowards and liars” andchallenged Fitzgerald toface him in court if he was“man enough.”

In what many saw as em-barrassing indignities for aformer governor, he sent hiswife to the jungle for a real-ity television show, “I’m aCelebrity, Get Me Out ofHere,” where she had to eata tarantula. He later showedhis own ineptitude at simpleoffice skills before beingfired on Donald Trump’s“Celebrity Apprentice.”

For the second trial, pros-ecutors streamlined theircase, and attorneys for theformer governor put on adefense highlighted by achatty Blagojevich takingthe witness stand for sevendays to portray himself as abig talker but not a criminal.

Blagojevich seemed to be-lieve he could talk his wayout of trouble from the wit-ness stand. Indignant oneminute, laughing the next,seemingly in tears once, heendeavored to counteractthe blunt, greedy man he ap-peared to be on FBI wire-taps. He apologized to jurorsfor the four-letter words thatpeppered the recordings.

He clearly sought to so-licit sympathy. He spokeabout his working-class par-ents and choked up re-counting the day he met hiswife, the daughter of a pow-erful Chicago alderman. Hereflected on his feelings ofinferiority at college, whereother students wore preppy“alligator” shirts. Touchingon his political life, he por-trayed himself as a friend ofworking people, the poorand elderly.

He told jurors his talk onthe wiretaps merely dis-played his approach to deci-sion-making: to invite awhirlwind of ideas — “goodones, bad ones, stupid ones”— then toss the ill-con-ceived ones out. To demon-strate the absurdities suchbrainstorming could gener-ate, he said he once consid-ered appointing himself tothe Senate seat so he couldtravel to Afghanistan and helphunt down Osama bin Laden.

Other times, when a pros-ecutor read wiretap tran-scripts where Blagojevichseems to speak clearly oftrading the Senate seat for ajob, Blagojevich told jurors,“I see what I say here, butthat’s not what I meant.”

The government offered astarkly different assessmentto jurors: Blagojevich was aliar, and had continued to lie,over and over, to their faces.

Lead prosecutor ReidSchar started his question-ing of Blagojevich with aquick verbal punch: “Mr.Blagojevich, you are a con-victed liar, correct?”

“Yes,” Blagojevich even-tually answered after thejudge overruled a flurry ofdefense objections.

TRIALContinued from Page A1

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Checkinto the hospital and youmay get a blood transfusionyou didn’t really need.

There’s a lot of variationaround the country in howquick doctors are to orderup a few pints — not incases of trauma or hemor-rhage where infusing bloodfast can be life-saving, butfor a range of other reasons.

Anemia is common inolder patients, for example,who may get a transfusionas an easy boost even whenthe anemia’s too mild tomatter or instead of treatingthe underlying problem.Need open-heart surgery oranother complex opera-tion? There are steps sur-geons could take tominimize blood loss insteadof trying to replace it later.

Now a government advi-sory committee is calling fornational standards on whena transfusion is needed —and how to conserve thisprecious resource.

All the variability shows“there is both excessive andinappropriate use of bloodtransfusions in the U.S.,” ad-visers to Health and HumanServices Secretary Kath-leen Sebelius said earlierthis month. “Improvementsin rational use of blood havelagged.”

Blood banks welcome theidea, important as they tryto balance how to keep justenough blood on the shelveswithout it going bad or run-ning short.

“Better patient care iswhat’s being advocatedhere,” said Dr. Richard Ben-jamin, chief medical officerof the American Red Cross.“If a transfusion is not neces-sary, all you can do is harm.”

The U.S. uses a lot ofblood, more than 14 millionunits of red blood cells ayear. Between 1994 and2008, blood use climbed 40percent, Benjamin told theHHS Advisory Committeeon Blood Safety and Avail-ability. In many years, partsof the country experiencedspot shortages as bloodbanks struggled to bring inenough donors to keep up.

Surprisingly, blood usedropped a bit with the re-cession, roughly 6 percentover two years, Benjaminsays. He couldn’t say why.That dip has leveled off, butspecialists say demand issure to rise again in comingyears as the population rap-idly grays and people whoonce were prime donors be-come more ill and frail.

Right now, overall dona-tion levels are good with oneexception, Benjamin said:There’s a big need for moreType O-negative blood, espe-cially as banks prepare for

the usual summertime donordrop. Few donors are Type O-negative, but it’s compatiblewith all other blood types andhospitals have begun usingmore of it in recent years.

What’s the evidence foravoidable transfusions?

One study published lastfall tracked more than100,000 people who under-

New standards urged for blood transfusions

blocks off Center Streetfive or six nights a year insummer; creation of theRutland Area Farm andFood Link, which is help-ing connect farms withnew markets, includingindividual customers whobuy shares in farms and get weekly food deliveries.

“It really took ArtJones, an outsider, tocome in and say to thecommunity at large‘You’ve got somethingspecial here” for a lot ofpeople to understandthat,’ said Randal Smath-ers, editor of the RutlandHerald newspaper. “It’smade people proud to say‘I’m from Rutland,’ whenbefore it was like ‘Oh, I’mfrom Vermont.’”

Not that all is rosy now.“Sure, we still have our

problems,” said blooddrive organizer SteveCostello, who lured Jonesto Rutland. “They’re notbeing solved overnight.But the blood drive and alot of these other thingsthe film touches on aregiving people here a self-esteem that wasn’t herebefore, and a sense thatthey can solve these prob-lems if they stick to it.”

Associated Press

RUTLAND, Vt. — Whendocumentary filmmakerArt Jones and his five-mancrew set out from New Yorkto shoot footage of a blooddrive in a small Vermontcity, he did it to satisfy anold friend, one of the or-ganizers. Jones figured itmight make a nice four-minute film.

What he found in hard-scrabble Rutland wassomething more: A hard-luck city whose annual Gift-of-Life Marathon was butone of the homegrown ini-tiatives being spearheadedby energetic volunteers andcreative community mem-bers determined to turnthings around.

The 80-minute documen-tary he ended up making —“The Blood in This Town”— is now getting noticefrom community leadersand rural developmentgroups who hope to repli-cate Rutland’s self-relianceinstead of waiting for Wash-ington or corporate Amer-ica to deliver them fromhard times.

“The movie does a goodjob of exploring somethemes that I think are verycommon in rural areas:How to deal with a chang-ing economy, how to de-velop your own leadership,how to do something sus-tainable and truly based onthe assets of the commu-nity, as opposed to trying tofind your salvation in someoutside company you’regoing to bring in,” said TimMarema, vice president ofthe Center for Rural Strate-gies, in Knoxville, Tenn.“It’s about building fromwithin.”

One town’s storyLike many small Ameri-

can towns and cities, Rut-land — a former quarry,manufacturing and rail-road center now home to16,630 people — is way pastits prime.

Long-dormant manufac-turing facilities with bro-ken windows, deterioratingold homes and empty store-fronts have combined tocreate an urban landscapein sharp contrast to Ver-mont’s picturesque villagesquares. It is, as a local hos-pital executive says in themovie, recalling a magazinearticle’s description: “theonly ugly town in Vermont.”

On Dec. 22, 2009, Jonesand his crew camped out atParamount Theatre, an 850-seat Victorian opera housewhose stage, seats and lob-bies swarm for one day ayear with volunteers,nurses, American RedCross phlebotomists anddonors laid out on cots,with red tubes snaking outof their arms into plasticbags.

Organizers had set whatsome considered an unat-tainable goal — 1,000 pints

of blood. A white eraserboard kept a running tallyas the hours ticked down.By the time the Para-mount’s doors shut, 1,024pints had been collecting,breaking a New Englandrecord for a one-day drivethat had been set by Boston,a city of 645,000.

The cameras caught it all— and more.

“Throughout that day, Iheard more stories aboutother things going on intown,” said Jones, whosestock-in-trade is normallycorporate films. “The ideawas if this town could dothis in one day, come to-gether that way and redis-cover its ability toaccomplish things, whatelse could it do in the other364 days of the year?” hesaid.

AchievementsHe found out, taking cam-

eras to Pine Hill Park, a for-mer wino haven on theoutskirts of town that wasturned into a mountain bik-ing haven; to the RutlandFarmers Market, whichtook up residence in an un-heated building and be-came a roaring year-roundsuccess; to Friday NightLive, a volunteer-run cele-bration of downtown that

“You need to have a fullinjunction with witnesses,”Grant said. “You just don’tpop up and say you want aninjunction on a new law thatthe governor just signed.”

Smith said he doesn’tknow what the foundation istrying to achieve.

“It will provide trans-parency and accountabilityof the taxpayers’ money,” hesaid of the law. “I under-stand that the foundationwould seek a lawsuit to stopthe law. What part of trans-parency and accountabilitywould they want to stop?”

The lawsuit alleges the newlaw not only voids a legalcontract between the foun-dation and board of trustees,it violates the lease by hand-ing oversight to the trustees.

It says the new law effec-tively kills lawsuits bothsides have against eachother because once trusteesseek control of the founda-tion, they will vote to endthe legal cases.

The lawsuit also accusesmembers of the board oftrustees of violating theSunshine Law by meetingprivately with a legislator in2010, and then a lobbyist in2011, in Tallahassee.

Also named as a defendantis the state of Florida, a factJudge Fulford noted in set-ting the hearing date. In hershow-cause order, Fulfordsaid the first issue to be set-tled during Wednesday’sdawn hearing is whetherthe case should be in Leonor Citrus County circuit court.

Foundation attorney ClarkStillwell told foundationmembers Monday the in-junction is mirrored after asimilar case involving aLongwood health care facil-ity. He said that case turnedout in the private nonprofitfacility’s favor after beingheard by the district court ofappeal based in Tallahassee.

The foundation is gearingup for a lengthy legal battle.The foundation board onMonday authorized Beaty tosecure up to $1 million to payfor legal fees exclusively onthe constitutional issue.

Beaty said the fees willnot come from taxes used tosupport the hospital; in fact,he said, the board of trusteeshas not turned over tax rev-enue since March 2010.

The foundation alsoagreed to set aside $1.4 mil-lion in a trust that could beused for severance pay forfour vice presidents whowork for Beaty should thefoundation lose the legalbattle and the trustees gaincontrol of the hospital.

Beaty said the severancecould kick in if the trusteesfire the hospital administra-tion, or if vice presidents re-sign due to pay cuts orchanges in job status.

SCOTUS to rule onFCC indecency policy

WASHINGTON — TheSupreme Court will take up theFirst Amendment fight overwhat broadcasters can put onthe airwaves when young chil-dren may be watching television.

The justices said Mondaythey will review appeals courtrulings that threw out the Fed-eral Communications Commis-sion’s rules against the isolateduse of expletives as well asfines against broadcasters whoshowed a woman’s nude but-tocks on a 2003 episode ofABC’s “NYPD Blue.”

The Obama administrationobjected the appeals courtstripped the FCC of its ability topolice the airwaves.

The U.S. television networksargue the policy is outdated,applying only to broadcast tele-vision and leaving unregulatedthe same content if transmittedon cable TV or over the Internet.

In a landmark 1978 decision,the court upheld the FCC’s au-thority to regulate radio and tel-evision content, at least duringthe hours when children arelikely to be watching or listen-ing. That period includes theprime-time hours before 10 p.m.

April’s consumer spendingfigures were revised to show asimilar decline when adjustingfor inflation. It marked the firsttwo-month decline in inflation-adjusted spending since April2009.

NEW YORK — Govern-ment bond prices fell Mon-day, sending their yieldshigher, following encourag-ing news on the Europeandebt crisis.

French banks agreed tolet Greece repay some of itsdebt more slowly. That willhelp give the country time tomanage its heavy debt loadand pass necessary budgetcuts to help repair its econ-omy. Investors have beenworried debt problems inGreece could slow global

economic growth and leadto a banking crisis in Europe.

“Some of the fear overGreece abated a little bit,”said Kim Rupert, managingdirector of global fixed in-come analysis at ActionEconomics.

The yield on the 10-yearTreasury note rose to 2.93percent from 2.87 percentlate Friday. Its price fell 63cents for every $100 in-vested. Bond yields risewhen their prices fall.

The price of the 30-yearTreasury note fell $1.91 forevery $100 invested. That

sent its yield up to 4.30 per-cent from 4.18 percent.

The two-year Treasury yieldrose to 0.40 percent from0.32 percent. The price fellafter a relatively week auc-tion of two-year Treasuries,Rupert said. A measure ofdemand was below the av-erage for the previous auc-tions. There were 3.08 bidssubmitted for each one thatwas accepted. That “bid-to-cover” ratio was below thefourth-month average of 3.18.

The three-month T-billpaid a yield of 0.01 percent,at a discount of 0.02 percent.

NEW YORK — Signs thata widespread Europeandebt crisis could be avertedhelped send stocks up Monday.

French banks agreed toaccept slower repayment ofGreece’s debt, giving Greecemore time to meet its otherfinancial obligations. Frenchbanks hold $21.3 billion inGreek government debt.Greek lawmakers also begandebate on more budget-cut-ting measures. Greece’s par-liament needs to pass thenew austerity plan this weekbefore the country can re-ceive a $17 billion install-ment from a rescue packagearranged last year.

The U.S. government,meanwhile, said spendingby consumers decreased inMay, after adjusting for in-flation. April’s figures werealso revised downward, re-vealing the first declinesince January 2010. Con-sumer spending accountsfor 70 percent of economicactivity.

Analysts said the rally wasstronger than the economicnews would suggest in partbecause many traders investwhen indices hit certainpredetermined price levels.

In this case, the key num-ber is 1,257 — the S&P’sbreak-even figure for theyear, said Todd Salamone,director of research at Scha-effer’s Investment Research.The S&P approached thatlevel in March and againearlier this month. Bothtimes, the market rallied asso-called technical traderspoured into the market.

The Monday-morning rallywas driven by “a combina-tion of trading on that (break-even) level and a catalyst, thesituation in Europe,” Sala-mone said. “Whether we sus-tain it is another question.”

Stocks rose broadly. All 10industry groups in the S&Pwere higher, with financials,information technology andretail stocks showing thestrongest gains.

Broad markets havedropped for seven of thepast eight weeks as tradersreceived a string of dismaleconomic data showing therecovery is slowing. The Dowsank 1 percent Friday, andthe S&P 1.2 percent. TheNasdaq lost 1.3 percent.

Page A10 - TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 2011

Funny businessThe Chronicle headline Sun-

day, June 19, read, “County pon-ders its image.” I was mildlyamused. But after a few momentsperusing this article, I couldn’tcontrol myself and started laugh-ing hysterically, especially whenI read, “Commissioners considerhiring marketing consultancy toattract global attention.”

“Global attention,” I gasped! Ichortled and clutched my throat,endeavoring to catch my breathbefore fainting. My snorting andsnickering subsided after a fewbrief moments. I wiped the tor-rent of tears flowing from myeyes. Am I hallucinating? Canthis be true?

Further into the commentary,the enormous sum of $60,000surfaced! Once again, my cack-ling and giggling resumed. I felldown, doubled up and beganscreaming aloud! It is for real!The commissioners will actuallydeliberate and consider thisfoolish fiasco!

Miami! Tampa! Orlando! Thosewere the first of three significantly,busy populated municipalities —far in excess of millions of people— that immediately came to mind.Here is where vacationers fre-quent when they consider excit-ing and wonderful tourist places!

These dramatic and breath-taking areas are the “Las Vegas”sites of Florida! The many stun-ning, marvelous hotels and mo-tels; extravagant restaurants,amazing attractions spread

throughout the area. CitrusCounty will never, by a hair’sbreadth, be considered!

I cannot fathom any astonish-ing attraction here that wouldpossibly demand “global atten-tion” other than perhaps thosehumdrum, unsightly, huge, hefty,considerable-sized, magnificentmanatees slipping silentlythrough the crystal-clear watersof the Three Sisters Springs.That’s about it! And that is aboutall it should be!

We were immediately drawnto Citrus County 20 years ago be-cause of its pastoral, laid-back,incredible countrified area. It waspristine, quiet and bucolic: a ruralplace to spend our remaining re-tirement years after hecticallyresiding and working so manyyears in the inner city of New York.

Save the money! This is themessage at this time! Leave CitrusCounty alone! Forget boosting

economic development! Closethe Citrus County Visitors andConvention Bureau! Eliminateall such foolish funding! Instead,recognize its staid, overwhelm-ing natural brilliant beauty.

Citrus firstEven though I am totally

against the “Interlocal Central-ized Sewer Agreement” betweenthe Citrus County Commissionand the Crystal River City Coun-cil, and will do everything withinmy power to prevent what I feelis a planned violation of myproperty rights, I noticed that atthe Crystal River City Councilmeeting of June 13 the councilawarded a sewer contract worthmore than $3 million to WestraConstruction — a company fromoutside of Citrus County!

The Chronicle article of June19 (“City ponders its image, PageA1) mentions another companyfrom outside of Citrus Countyhas been under contract withour county since 2002 for $74,400per year! This doesn’t even makesense — how could this companyfrom Ponte Vedra Beach sell Cit-rus County more than the citi-zens of Citrus County?

Commissioners: Give us abreak! Forget about a “globalperspective” and let’s get onwith a “Citrus perspective!”

Renee Christopher-McPheetersCrystal River

Something astonishing hap-pened in New Jersey lastweek. A majority Demo-

cratic legislature and a Republi-can governor agreed on ameasure that will cutbenefits for the state’s750,000 employeesand retirees.

Like Wisconsin andother states beingforced to deal withlarge budget deficitscaused mostly bysweetheart dealsstruck in more pros-perous times betweenpoliticians who needvotes and laborunions who deliverthem, New Jersey couldn’t affordto go on like this.

The new law “will sharply in-crease what state and local work-ers must contribute for theirhealth insurance and pensions.”And in a major whack at risingcosts, will also suspend “cost-of-living increases ... raise retire-ment ages and curb the unions’contract bargaining rights,”writes Richard Perez-Pena in theJune 23 issue of The New YorkTimes.

Gov. Chris Christie’s adminis-tration estimates the deal willsave New Jersey $132 billion overthe next 30 years.

Predictably, labor unions areexcoriating Democrats whojoined Republicans to pass thelaw, but even “tax and spend” De-mocrats are beginning to realizewe can’t go on like this and the fu-ture of the country is more im-portant than seeking short-termpartisan political advantage.

A new study co-authored byJoshua Rauh of NorthwesternUniversity and Robert Novy-

Marx of the University ofRochester, both finance profes-sors, has concluded that withouta change in their pension sys-tems, federal, state and local gov-

ernments “will needto raise taxes by $1,398per household everyyear for the next 30years if they are tofully fund their pen-sion systems.” Thestudy also found thatNew Jersey “will needto increase its rev-enue by the largestmargin, requiring$2,475 more from eachhousehold per year.”That’s if the new law

hadn’t passed.Last week, the nonpartisan

Congressional Budget Office(CBO) released a frightening re-port that concluded the ratio ofdebt to gross domestic product(GDP) this year would be 69 per-cent. That’s 7 percentage pointshigher than last year. By 2021, theCBO predicts that without a seri-ous recalibration in Social Secu-rity, Medicare and otherspending, debt will quickly reach76 percent of GDP and “the pub-lic debt will be 101 percent ofGDP 10 years from now.” Intereston the debt is now more than theentire GDP of some nations.

The Federal Reserve last weekissued a gloomy forecast for theU.S. economy. It noted “slower-than-expected growth” andwarned of “higher inflation.” Cananyone say “Jimmy Carter?” Thisand many other signs give the lieto the Obama administration’sclaims about last year’s “summerof recovery” and other rosy sce-narios about sluggish economicgrowth and “job creation.”

Do I hear the echo of RonaldReagan, who said during his 1980campaign for president, “A reces-sion is when your neighbor loseshis job; a depression is when youlose yours. And recovery is whenJimmy Carter loses his?”

The Obama administration,which now “owns” the economy,as acknowledged by DemocraticNational Committee Chair-woman Debbie WassermanSchultz, is incapable of turningthings around as long as it re-mains mired in its Keynesian, re-distributionist, punish-the-successful-and-subsidize-the-unsuccessful mentality.

In justifying his vote for mean-ingful entitlement reform in NewJersey, Assemblyman AngelFuentes, a Democrat from Cam-den, told Times, “These reformsare unquestionably bitter pills forus to swallow, but they are rea-sonable and they are necessary.”

Are there enough “reasonable”Democrats in Congress who willjoin with reasonable Republi-cans and do what is necessary torepair what out-of-control spend-ing, unlimited benefits and enti-tlements are doing to the federalgovernment and to the other 49states? If not, in the coming elec-tion, voters will have another op-portunity to increase reasonablerepresentation in Congress andin the White House.

Who ever thought traditionallyliberal states like New Jersey andWisconsin would lead the way?

Governmentshould focuson priorities

County leaders may havejumped to the choruswithout finishing the

verse when discussion at lastweek’s commission meeting re-vealed they were consideringtaking money from a soon-to-bevacated county position andplacing it in the hands of a con-sultant because “we need to beall singing the same tune.”

The retirement of countypublic information officer JimHunter will “freeup” close to$60,000, it wasannounced. Thedestiny of thisavailable moneysparked a discus-sion among com-missioners aboutthe possibility ofnot filling thepublic informa-tion position as it is currentlydefined and hiring a marketingconsultant to, according toCounty Administrator BradThorpe, “market Citrus Countyfrom a global perspective.”

A clear concern about such ashift of resources centers onthe need for managing publiccommunication. County offi-cials should not inappropri-ately downgrade the need forpublic communication withinthe county. A quick review of is-sues that have provided stum-bling blocks for countygovernment can be tied to com-munication processes.

While the public informationofficer has done a good job ofsharing information, countycommissioners and officialsneed to be mindful that trans-parency is the best avenue forgaining public trust.

When that tenuous interac-tion between elected officialsand those they represent isplunked by a lack of confi-dence, no global marketingplan is going to make every-thing OK. Unless wishing tohave department heads andother top officials serve as thecustodians of information —

and accept that providing theinformation in a timely fashionis a legal requirement — awell-trained public informa-tional specialist is critical to thewell-being of our community.

What is presently needed isnot more attention to new mar-keting initiatives, but more at-tention to fixing what is brokenso Citrus County is in a betterposition to market itself.

The next key change thatfound discordwas the sugges-tion that thisn e w f o u n dmoney wouldlikely go into thepockets of anout- of-countypublic relationsfirm already re-ceiving $74,000 ayear from the

Tourist Development Council.If there is no melodious three-part harmony to be foundamong the image-building ef-forts from the Tourism Devel-opment Council, the EconomicDevelopment Council and theCitrus County Chamber ofCommerce, it doesn’t take aBach or Beethoven to deter-mine there is some basic tun-ing up that needs to take placeon the local stage before westart paying out any big bucksto hear a symphony.

The final note to this jam ses-sion is that this community justsimply cannot currently affordto send any of its much-neededdollars outside of the countyjust to have someone tell us ifeveryone here is singing thesame song, whether it is formarketing to future businessesor communicating to its citi-zens. If we are not pleased withthe song we are currently hear-ing, paying money for yet an-other sheet of music won’t do abit of good until we find out whoamong us is singing off key, whohas lost the beat, who is simplynot capable of carrying a tune,and who needs to be playing aclarinet instead of a bass drum.

THE ISSUE:County government

wants everyone singingthe same tune.

WASHINGTON — Farewell andgood riddance to the first half of 2011— six months that are ending as sourfor the economy as they began.

Most analysts say economicgrowth will perk up in the secondhalf of the year. The reason is themain causes of the slowdown —high oil prices and manufacturingdelays because of the disaster inJapan — have started to fade.

“Some of the headwinds thatcaused us to slow are turning intotail winds,” said Mark Zandi, chiefeconomist at Moody’s Analytics.

For an economy barely inchingahead two years after the Great Re-cession ended, the first half of 2011can’t end soon enough. Severestorms and rising gasoline pricesheld growth in January, Februaryand March to a glacial annual rateof 1.9 percent.

The current quarter isn’t shapingup much better. The average growthforecast of 38 top economists sur-veyed by The Associated Press is 2.3percent.

The economy has to grow 3 per-cent a year just to hold the unem-ployment rate steady and keep upwith population growth. And it hasto average about 5 percent growthfor a year to lower the unemploy-ment rate by a full percentagepoint. It is 9.1 percent today.

As welcome as the strongergrowth envisioned in the secondhalf is, the improvement should bemodest. For the final six months ofthe year, the AP economists forecasta growth rate of 3.2 percent.

So far this year, high gas and foodprices have discouraged peoplefrom spending much on other things— from furniture and appliances todinners out and vacations. Thatspending fuels economic growth.

And some U.S. auto factories hadto suspend or trim production afterthe March earthquake in Japan in-terrupted supplies of parts andelectronics. American dealershipshave had fewer cars to sell.

The latest dose of glum news: Thegovernment reported Monday con-sumer spending was about thesame in May as in April, the firsttime in a year that spending hasn’t

increased from the previous month.The report confirmed the toll

high gas prices, Japan-related dis-ruptions and high unemploymenthave taken on personal spending inthe second quarter.

“Here’s to a better third,” saidJennifer Lee, senior economist atBMO Capital Markets.

Relief is in sight, economists say.Oil prices have been falling sinceMemorial Day. The drop has low-ered the price of regular unleadedgasoline by 23 cents in the pastmonth, to a national average of$3.57 a gallon, according to AAA.

The timing of the drop in gas

prices is especially fortunate be-cause they usually rise during sum-mer driving season, said RobertDiClemente, chief U.S. economist atCitigroup.

And the kinks in the global man-ufacturing chain are starting to besmoothed out as the Japanese fac-tories that make cars and electron-ics resume production.

Diane Swonk, chief economist atMesirow Financial, said auto salesshould improve “quite substan-tially” later this year because thelost production from the earth-quake is coming back faster thanhad been expected.

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — PresidentBarack Obama plunged into dead-locked negotiations to cut govern-ment deficits and raise thenation’s debt limit Monday, andthe White House expressed confi-dence a “significant” deal withRepublicans could be reached.But both sides only seemed toharden their positions as the daywore on, the administration insist-ing on higher taxes as part of thepackage but Republican leadersflatly rejecting the idea.

Obama and Vice President JoeBiden met with Senate MajorityLeader Harry Reid, D-Nev., forabout 30 minutes at the WhiteHouse, setting the stage for anevening meeting with RepublicanSenate leader Mitch McConnell ofKentucky.

White House spokesman JayCarney said Obama reported afterthe morning session “everyone inthe room believes that a significantdeal remains possible.” But Car-ney also affirmed Obama wouldonly go for a deficit-reduction planthat included both spending cutsand increased tax revenue, an ap-proach that Republicans saywould never get through Congress.

Said Carney: “It’s the only wayto get it done if you want to do itright.”

McConnell was seen speakingwith White House Chief of StaffBill Daley moments before hisscheduled meeting with Obamaand Biden.

Full recovery for the youngemperor penguin — affection-ately dubbed Happy Feet —may take months, and offi-cials are unsure when or howit could return home to theAntarctic, about 2,000 milesaway.

The bird was recoveringwell after an endoscopy per-formed by one of NewZealand’s leading surgeons— for human patients.

Doctors at the WellingtonZoo guided a camera on atube through the penguin’sswollen intestines andflushed its stomach to re-move the swallowed sandand pieces of driftwood. Pen-guins eat snow to hydratethemselves during the harshAntarctic winter.

To ensure the health of itsnewest star, the zoo broughtin Wellington Hospital special-ist John Wyeth to help withthe procedure, New ZealandPress Association reported.

MOSCOW — The cover of thehighly placed U.S. mole in the Russ-ian intelligence service was blown.

Col. Alexander Poteyev had be-trayed his ring of 10 sleeper spies— including Anna Chapman, thered-haired agent with the lin-gerie-model looks — and the FBIwas about to nab them. Now hewas at risk of being arrested by

Russian authorities.Poteyev’s plight last sum-

mer was so precarious hehad to rush from a meetingin his office for a train sta-tion to flee the country. Helater texted his wife by cell-phone he was “leaving notfor some time, but forever.”

Details of Poteyev’s es-cape and farewell messagewere included in a sum-mary of evidence read inthe Moscow District Military Courtby a judge who convicted him in ab-sentia Monday of high treason anddesertion, and sentenced him to 25years in prison. The 59-year-oldcolonel also was stripped of hisrank and state medals.

Chapman, one of the 10agents deported from theU.S. in July 2010, testified atthe closed trial only Poteyevcould have provided the in-formation that led to their ar-rests, Russian news agenciesreported, citing a summaryof the evidence read by thejudge as he issued his ruling.

Chapman testified shewas caught after an under-cover U.S. agent contacted

her using a code only Poteyev andher personal handler knew, the re-ports said. She said she immedi-ately felt something was wrong andcalled her handler in Moscow, whoconfirmed her suspicions. Chapmanand others were arrested not long

after that, on June 27, 2010 — a yearago Monday.

The agents were deported in ex-change for four suspected Westernagents who had been imprisoned inRussia. It was the biggest spy swapsince the Cold War.

The court said Poteyev appar-ently got word the agents werebeing rounded up in the U.S. andhad to hurry out of Russia, the In-terfax news agency reported. It saidPoteyev fled to Belarus, crossed theborder into Ukraine and thenmoved west to Germany and, finally,on to the United States using a pass-port in a different name.

Poteyev’s grown son and daugh-ter reportedly have been living inthe United States for years.

LOS ANGELES —Whew, that was close.

An asteroid the size of atour bus streaked harm-lessly past Earth on Mon-day, passing within 7,600miles.

Discovered only lastweek, the relatively smallspace rock made a hairpinturn around the planet atabout 10 a.m. PDT, sailinghigh over the southern At-lantic Ocean.

In truth, there wasnever any doubt it wouldmiss. But given the vast-ness of the universe, 7,600miles is practically astone’s throw away, atabout three times the dis-tance between New Yorkand Los Angeles.

The asteroid, dubbed2011 MD, was initiallymistaken by astronomersfor a piece of space junkbecause it was so small, at15 to 60 feet wide. Later,observations confirmed itwas an asteroid that hadno chance of hitting Earth.

Asteroids of this sizetypically brush by Earthevery six years. In fact,earlier this year, a smallerone came even closer toour planet, passing within3,500 miles.

Even if the latest onehad aimed straight for us,it would have burned upin the atmosphere and notcaused any damage on theground.

“We’re just waking up tothe fact that Mother Na-ture has been shootingthese things across thebow for millennia,” saidDon Yeomans, who headsthe program that trackspotentially dangerousspace rocks at NASA’s JetPropulsion Laboratory inPasadena.

It was expected to bebright enough that some-one might be able to see itwith a medium-sized telescope.

Asteroids are leftoversfrom the formation of thesolar system some 4.5 bil-lion years ago. Pieces ofasteroids — meteorites —constantly break away andmake fiery plungesthrough the atmosphere.

Objects bigger than two-thirds of a mile are majorkillers and hit Earth everyseveral hundred thousandyears. Scientists believe itwas a six-mile-wide aster-oid that wiped out the di-nosaurs 65 million yearsago.

Scientists frequentlymonitor these potentialthreats to get better dataon their paths and likeli-hood of hitting Earth.

bounced; Rafahurt but wins

Associated Press

WIMBLEDON, England —Walking away from CentreCourt, Oracene Price —mother and sometimes-coachto Serena and Venus Williams— shook her head afterwatching one daughter lose atWimbledon, then the other.

Undeniably great as she is,even defending championSerena found it too tough tomake a deep run at her firstGrand Slamtournamentin a year aftera series ofhealth scares.And as suc-cessful asVenus hasbeen at theAll EnglandClub, evenshe couldn’tmuster herbest afterm i s s i n gnearly fivemonths with ahip injury.

“I don’tthink theirlayoffs helpedtheir rhythm,”Price said.“They both seemed to be mak-ing the same kinds of mis-takes. They were hit-and-miss,here and there.”

They’re both headed homeafter straight-set exits in thefourth round against far-less-accomplished opponentsMonday. First, 13-time majorchampion Serena lost 6-3, 7-6(6) to ninth-seeded MarionBartoli on Court 1. Then, lessthan two hours later and be-fore a Centre Court crowd thatincluded Prince William andhis new bride, Kate, five-timeWimbledon champion Venuswas beaten 6-2, 6-3 by 32nd-seeded Tsvetana Pironkova.

Adding to the chaotic na-ture of the afternoon, top-seeded Caroline Wozniackilost, too, although she’s stillsearching for her first GrandSlam singles trophy, whereasthe Williams sisters own atotal of 20.

“Definitely not our bestday,” Venus said. “I think weboth envisioned seeing thisday going a little bit different.”

And why shouldn’t theyhave? After all, Venus and her

RALEIGH, N.C. — FormerNorth Carolina State basketballstar Lorenzo Charles, the muscu-lar forward whose last-seconddunk gave the underdog Wolfpackthe 1983 national collegiate cham-pionship, was killed Monday whena bus he was driving crashed, acompany official said Monday.

Elite Coach general managerBrad Jackson said Charles, 47,worked for the company and wasdriving one of its buses on Inter-state 40.

Raleigh police spokesman JimSughrue said no passengers

were aboard.Charles secured his spot in N.C.

State lore 28 years ago in the finalmoments of the Wolfpack’smatchup with Houston in the na-tional championship game.

He grabbed Dereck Whitten-burg’s 30-foot shot and dunked itat the buzzer to give N.C. State a54-52 win and its second nationaltitle, sending coach Jim Valvanospilling onto the court, scramblingfor someone to hug in what has be-come one of the lasting images ofthe NCAA tournament.

“It’s still kind of amazing to methat ... people are still talkingabout it,” Charles said in an ex-

cerpt from his comments aboutthe championship game on hisN.C. State Web page. “I rememberwhen (it) first happened, I figuredI would have my 15 minutes offame and that would be it. Herewe are and it is still a conversa-tional piece. I don’t really thinkthat was the only great Final Fourfinish that has been played sincethen, but for some reason peoplejust single out that game and talkabout it. Maybe because it wassuch a David and Goliath thing.”

N.C. State entered the NCAA tour-nament with a 17-10 record, havingbeaten Virginia to win the AtlanticCoast Conference tournament. See WILLIAMS/Page B4

younger sister combined towin nine of the past 11 Wim-bledon titles, including Ser-ena’s victories in 2009 and2010. They even played eachother in four of the finals inthat span.

“Well, I never came herethinking I would lose,” saidSerena, a former No. 1whose ranking now willplummet to about 175th.“That’s my attitude.”

It’s the first time since2006 that neither Williams isin the Wimbledon quarterfi-nals; Venus lost in the thirdround that year, while Ser-ena skipped that tourna-ment because of a left kneeinjury. Of the 12 years thatboth entered the field at theAll England Club, this is thefirst neither one made it pastthe fourth round.

“Obviously, it’s not some-thing planned,” Venus said.“We rarely lose on the sameday.”

That’s true: They last loston the same day at a GrandSlam tournament on May 30,2008, in the French Open’sthird round.

All in all, it was a topsy-turvy day at the All EnglandClub. Set aside, for a mo-ment, what went on with theWilliams sisters, and digestMonday’s various other hap-penings:

— Wozniacki still has yetto make it past the fourthround at Wimbledon after a1-6, 7-6 (5), 7-5 defeat againstNo. 24 Dominika Cibulkova;

— defending championand top-seeded RafaelNadal initially thought hebroke his left foot and mighthave to quit late in the firstset, then lost the second set,but eventually beat 2009U.S. Open champion JuanMartin del Potro 7-6 (6), 3-6,7-6 (4), 6-4;

— six-time Wimbledonchampion Roger Federerdropped his first set of thefortnight — against a man hewas 10-0 against, no less —before righting himself toreach a 29th consecutiveGrand Slam quarterfinal;

— 18-year-old BernardTomic of Australia becamethe youngest man in theWimbledon quarterfinalssince 1986, when BorisBecker went on to win hissecond title in a row;

— 2010 runner-up TomasBerdych went out in straightsets against 10th-seededMardy Fish, who never be-fore reached the quarterfi-nals at the All England Clubbut now is the last American,man or woman, left in thetournament.

“Last. ... Not what you setout to do,” said Fish, who is0-5 against Nadal headinginto their quarterfinal. “Itwas, I guess, bad luck for theWilliams sisters to lose. Un-fortunate, I guess. They’ll be

back, I’m sure.”They won’t be around for

the women’s quarterfinalsTuesday, which are:Cibulkova of Slovakia vs. No.5 Maria Sharapova of Rus-sia; Bartoli of France vs.wild-card entry SabineLisicki of Germany; No. 8Petra Kvitova of the CzechRepublic vs. Pironkova ofBulgaria; and No. 4 VictoriaAzarenka of Belarus vs.Tamira Paszek of Austria. It’sthe first time since 1913 thatthe last eight women at Wim-bledon are from Europe —and, as it happens, eightcountries are represented.

Sharapova is the onlyquarterfinalist who’s won aGrand Slam title; her threemajor championships in-clude Wimbledon in 2004.

After a day off, the menplay their quarterfinalsWednesday. In addition toNadal vs. Fish — assumingNadal decides to play aftergetting an MRI exam on hisfoot — the matchups are No.2 Novak Djokovic vs. Tomic;No. 3 Federer vs. No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga; and No. 4Murray vs. unseeded Feli-ciano Lopez.

“I’m worried, for sure,”Nadal said.

Neither of the women whobeat the Williams sistersMonday has won a GrandSlam title, although Bartolidid reach the Wimbledonfinal in 2007 — before losingto Venus. Pironkova, mean-while, produced her best

Grand Slam showing at theAll England Club a year ago,when she made it to thesemifinals by beating Venus— coincidentally, also by thescore of 6-2, 6-3.

Pironkova also beat Venusat the 2006 Australian Open,yet somehow she clearly did-n’t make much of an impres-sion on Mom.

“I don’t even rememberher playing her before. Theysaid she lost to her here ayear ago,” Price said. “I did-n’t remember the girl. I’ll re-member her this time.”

As well she should, be-cause Pironkova befuddlesthe older Williams sister. OnMonday, Pironkova playedsteadily, making only 10 un-forced errors, half as manyas Venus.

“Today’s match probablylooked easier on the outside,but it took me enormousamount of power to beather,” Pironkova said. “I keptpushing her. As I said, Iplayed well. So she probablygot a little shaky, and I tookover.”

Pironkova was 4-14 at tour-level events before her 4-0run so far at Wimbledon.

Apparently, her gametakes on a whole new depthon grass courts — andagainst Venus.

“It’s kind of inexplicablewhy I manage to play someof my worst tennis againsther,” Venus said. “It’s not likeI’m intimidated at all by any-body on tour.”

Tigers 4, Blue Jays 2DETROIT — Jhonny Peralta hit a

tiebreaking triple in the eighth inningand Victor Martinez drove in two runs,leading the Detroit Tigers past theToronto Blue Jays 4-2 on Monday night.

Max Scherzer struck out nine overseven strong innings and the AL Cen-tral leaders won their third straight,snapping Toronto’s three-game win-ning streak.

In the makeup of a May 17 rainout,Tigers manager Jim Leyland wasejected in the seventh after a long argu-ment that included a mocking imperson-ation of first base umpire Ed Rapuanochanging his call on a close play.

Adam Lind hit his 16th homer forthe Blue Jays.

With one out in the eighth, MagglioOrdonez singled off Marc Rzepczynski(2-2). Austin Jackson entered as apinch-runner, and Shawn Camp camein to relieve Rzepczynski.

Peralta sliced a liner into the right-center gap and Jose Bautista missedan attempt at a sliding catch. The ballrolled to the wall before center fielderRajai Davis could retrieve it, giving Per-alta a standup triple.

After the Blue Jays intentionallywalked Alex Avila, Ryan Raburn beatout a double-play ball to drive in thefourth run.

Joaquin Benoit (2-3) picked up thewin with a scoreless inning.

Dodgers file for bankruptcy protectionLOS ANGELES — One of

baseball’s proudest franchises isin tatters, its future to be decidedmore in the courtroom than onthe field.

The Los Angeles Dodgers filedfor bankruptcy protection in aDelaware court Monday, blamingMajor League Baseball for refus-ing to approve a multibillion-dollarTV deal that owner Frank Mc-Court was counting on to keepthe troubled franchise afloat.

McCourt, upset that baseballCommissioner Bud Selig re-jected the proposed TV deal lastweek, hopes a federal judge will

approve $150 million in financ-ing to be used for daily opera-tions, which would give himmore time to seek a more favor-able media contract. A hearing isset for today.

“The action taken today by Mr.McCourt does nothing but inflictfurther harm to this historic fran-chise,” Selig said in a statement.

The team is bleeding red inkinstead of Dodger blue, with for-mer players owed millions. Evenbeloved Hall of Fame announcerVin Scully is owed more than$150,000 as part of his contract,court documents show.

WASHINGTON — The SupremeCourt ruled Monday that it is unconsti-tutional to bar children from buying orrenting violent video games, saying gov-ernment doesn’t have the authority to“restrict the ideas to which childrenmay be exposed” despite complaintsthat the popular and fast-changingtechnology allows the young to simulateacts of brutality.

On a 7-2 vote, the high court upheld afederal appeals court decision to throwout California’s ban on the sale orrental of violent video games to minors.The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals inSacramento had ruled that the law vio-lated minors’ rights under the FirstAmendment, and the high court agreed.

“No doubt a state possesses legiti-mate power to protect children fromharm,” said Justice Antonin Scalia, whowrote the majority opinion. “But thatdoes not include a free-floating powerto restrict the ideas to which childrenmay be exposed.”

Video game makers and sellers cele-brated their victory, saying the decisionputs them on the same legal footing asother forms of entertainment. “Therenow can be no argument whether videogames are entitled to the same protec-tion as books, movies, music, and otherexpressive entertainment,” said Bo An-dersen, president and CEO of the En-tertainment Merchants Association.

More than 46 million Americanhouseholds have at least one video-game system, with the industry bring-ing in at least $18 billion in 2010. Thevideo game industry has its own ratinglabeling system intended to warn par-ents, with the rating “M” placed ongames that are considered to be espe-cially violent.

But at least two justices, Chief JusticeJohn Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito,indicated they would be willing to re-consider their votes throwing out thelaw, taking issue with the sweep of thecourt’s holding.

“I would not squelch legislative ef-forts to deal with what is perceived bysome to be a significant and developingsocial problem,” Alito said, suggestingthat a narrower state law might be up-held.

And an unlikely duo, conservative-leaning Clarence Thomas and liberal-leaning Stephen Breyer, agreed that theCalifornia video game ban should havebeen upheld, but for different reasons.

Breyer said the court’s decision cre-ates an insurmountable conflict in theFirst Amendment, especially consider-ing that justices have upheld bans onthe sale of pornography to children.

“What sense does it make to forbidselling to a 13-year-old boy a magazinewith an image of a nude woman, while

protecting the sale to that 13-year-old ofan interactive video game in which heactively, but virtually, binds and gags thewoman, then tortures and kills her?”Breyer said. “What kind of FirstAmendment would permit the govern-ment to protect children by restrictingsales of that extremely violent videogame only when the woman — bound,gagged, tortured and killed — is alsotopless?”

And Thomas said the majority readsomething into the First Amendmentthat isn’t there.

“The practices and beliefs of thefounding generation establish that “thefreedom of speech,” as originally un-derstood, does not include a right tospeak to minors (or a right of minors toaccess speech) without going throughthe minors’ parents or guardians,”Thomas wrote.

Leland Yee, a child psychologist andCalifornia state senator who wrote thevideo game ban, told The AssociatedPress Monday that he was reading thedissents in hope of finding a way toreintroduce the law in a way it wouldbe constitutional.

“It’s disappointing the court didn’tunderstand just how violent thesegames are,” Yee told The AP.

California’s 2005 law would have pro-hibited anyone under 18 from buying orrenting games that give players the op-tion of “killing, maiming, dismember-ing, or sexually assaulting an image of ahuman being.” Parents would havebeen able to buy the games for theirchildren, but retailers who sell directlyto minors would have faced fines of upto $1,000 for each game sold.

That means that children would haveneeded an adult to get games like“Postal 2,” the first-person shooter bydeveloper Running With Scissors thatfeatures the ability to light unarmed by-standers on fire. It would also apply tothe popular “Grand Theft Auto IV,” athird-person shoot-’em-up from Rock-star Games that allows gamers to por-tray carjacking, gun-toting gangsters.

The California law never took effect.Lower courts have said the law violatesminors’ constitutional rights, and thatCalifornia lacked enough evidence toprove that violent games cause physicaland psychological harm to minors.Courts in six other states, includingMichigan and Illinois, reached similarconclusions, striking down similarbans.

Unlike depictions of “sexual con-duct,” Scalia said, there is no traditionin the United States of restricting chil-dren’s access to depictions of violence,pointing out the violence in the originaldepiction of many popular children’sfairy tales like Hansel and Gretel, Cin-derella and Snow White.

Hansel and Gretel kill their captor bybaking her in an oven, Cinderella’s evilstepsisters have their eyes pecked outby doves and the evil queen in SnowWhite is forced to wear red hot slippersand dance until she is dead, Scalia said.

“Certainly the books we give childrento read — or read to them when theyare younger — contain no shortage ofgore,” Scalia added.

And there is no definitive proof thatviolent video games cause harm to chil-dren, or any more harm than anotherother form of entertainment, he said.

One doctor “admits that the same ef-fects have been found when childrenwatch cartoons starring Bugs Bunny orthe Road Runner or when they playvideo games like Sonic the Hedgehogthat are rated ‘E’ or even when they‘view a picture of a gun,” Scalia said.“Of course, California has (wisely) de-clined to restrict Saturday-morning car-toon, the sale of games rated for youngchildren, or the distribution of picturesof guns.”

Tim Winter, president of the ParentsTelevision Council, said the decisioncreated “a constitutional authorizedend-run on parental authority.”

“I wonder what other First Amend-ment right does a child have againsttheir parents’ wishes?” he said. “Doesa child now have a constitutional rightto bear arms if their parent doesn’twant them to buy a gun? How far doesthis extend? It’s certainly concerning tous that something as simple as requir-ing a parental oversight to purchase anadult product has been undermined bythe court.”

The case is Brown v. EntertainmentMerchants Association, 08-1448.

Calif. State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, holds up three video games Monday after a news conference in San Fran-cisco.

Yee, who wrote thevideo game ban, told The Associated Press on Monday he was reading the dissents in hope of finding a way to reintro-duce the law in a way it would be constitutional.

JOHN CHANCEFor the Chronicle

Mother Nature blessed us withsome much needed rainfall in theCentral Florida area for much of theday Saturday. Early afternoon rainshowers had many of the state’s racetracks huddled around radar imagestrying to find a way to get their rac-ing programs in. Desoto Speedway,New Smyrna Speedway, and VolusiaSpeedway park all fell victims to therain and were forced to cancel theirshows. But once again, the friend-liest track in the south found a wayto get it done.

Practice started right on time, buta 5 p.m. rain shower sent the trackcrew scrambling to dry the track forthe 6 p.m. start. After pumping waterfrom the infield, and with the help ofthe racers to get the track dry, racingstarted only eight minutes late. Be-cause of the chance of rain, severaldrivers and fans chose to play it safeand stay indoors. This resulted in afew short classes and a less than ca-pacity crowd.

It was a good thing the speedwaywas damp, because the fireworks be-tween the drivers on Saturday nightwould have started a forest fire.Eleven Sportsman cars took thegreen for their 25 lap feature event.Tom Posavec (01) brought the field tothe green with Cody Johnson (90)along side. It wouldn’t take long forthe fireworks to fly, a lap 2 incidentbetween Richie Smith (4) andPatrick Mennenga (16) would pro-vide one of the night’s most talkedabout moments.

Smith and Mennenga raced hardfor the first two laps and made con-tact several times; finally it endedwith both cars in a tangled mess inthe turn 3 wall. Both drivers werevery unhappy with each other,which resulted in Mennenga divingacross the roof of Smith’s car, andtackling Smith while he was exitinghis racer. Both drivers exchangedpunches for a brief moment beforebeing separated by track officials.Both cars were done for the night,and Mennenga was ordered to leavethe track immediately, suspended,and fined for initiating the physicalconfrontation.

Once back to racing, LanceDubach (77) made short work ofPosavec for the lead and pulled outto a substantial lead from his thirdstarting position. Fifth starter CodyStickler (99) made his way throughthe field and set his sights on theleader Daubach. Stickler could notmake any ground on the leader, untila lap 21 caution for debris wouldbring him right to the leader’sbumper.

Daubach would jump back out to asmall lead and looked to be headedto his first feature win of the year.But a bonsai move on the inside ofDaubach, by Stickler in turn three,sent both cars spinning coming totake the white flag. Stickler wouldtake blame for the incident, butDaubach’s racer suffered steeringdamage in the incident, which senthim to the pits on the hook.

The 199 of Brett Jenkins suddenlyfound himself the leader with twolaps to go on the restart. Jenkinswould take off on the restart and goon to take his first feature win of theseason. Following him to the stripewere points leader Ernie Reed (55)in second and last week’s winnerBrandon Morris (56) in third. RichieSmith and Cody Stickler were yourheat race winners.

Point leader Bobby Ervien tookadvantage of the three-row inversionto start on the pole for the 17 carOpen Wheel Modified 40 lap feature.Ervien had the car to beat, and con-sistently pulled away from the fieldon four separate restarts.

Behind him, though, fireworkswere flying again. Sixth starterRichie Smith (42) waged a heatedbattle with Herb Neumann Jr. (01)for the second position. Smith triedboth the high and low groove, only tohave the door slammed in his faceeach time.

Finally Smith found the tractionand room he needed to make themove on the five- time Super LateModel champion Neumann, drivingaround the outside for second. AfterNeumann fell back to third, he wasunder heavy pressure from TimmyMoore (57).

Moore is a regular at DesotoSpeedway, but with his home trackraining out early in the day, he andhis crew thrashed to switch the setup on his racer to come to Citrus. Allthe work would pay off, as Moorewould find his way past Neumannfor third. Ervien took the wire-to-wire victory, followed by the hardcharging Smith in second and Moorein third. Smith and Neumann wereheat race winners.

Eight Street Stocks made quickwork of their 20 lap feature runningall 20 laps caution free. Kyle Peters(53) launched from his outside frontrow starting position to take his thirdfeature win of the year. Behind Pe-ters, Curtis Flanagan (3) and KennyMay (10) had a hard fought battle forsecond, with Flanagan coming outon top and extending his point lead.Tim Wilson (85) took the heat win.

Nine Taylor Made Homes PureStocks came to the green withHappy Florian (65) pacing the field.Florian’s lead would be short-livedas point leader David Walls (35)would take his new ride to the topspot. Tyler Stickler (9) would battlefor second with Michael Martin (76)briefly, before setting his sights onthe leader.

Walls would prove to tough to beatin his new ride, taking his secondfeature win of the year, and extend-ing his large points lead. Sticklerwould come in second with Martin,who also took the heat race victory,in third.

Eleven Sheldon Palmes InsuranceMini Stocks challenged each otherfor their 20 lap feature. Lap 1 sawcaution for a hard wreck on thebackstretch as Kenneth Watkins (35)and Shannon Kennedy (46) bothended up in the wall. Kennedy wasdone for the night, and Watkins con-tinued with heavy front-end damage.

Chris Snow (29) jumped out to theearly lead from his pole position,

and looked to be poised for a featurewin. Behind him, Sonya Heater (71),Jeremy Sharrone (32) and JeffEberly (01) were mixing it up for thesecond position. Snow’s nightstarted to head south when he de-veloped an engine miss, which al-lowed the trio behind to close in.

The top four cars would wage anexciting battle with Eberly making athree-wide inside move for the leadwith only two laps remaining. Eberlywould go on to take his sixth featurewin of the year, with Sharrone com-ing home second and Snow holdingon for third with his sick powerplant. Sharrone and Kevin Stone (98)would take the heat wins.

Eleven Pro Figure 8’s tested theirskills at dodging cars in the intersec-tion for their 20 lap feature. RobbiePowell (25) would jump out to theearly lead with point contender JoeyCatarelli (6) giving chase in second.

The race saw several cautionswhich slowed the action, as well as afew black flags for rough driving.Powell and Catarelli battled for thetop position all the way to the end.On the final lap, just yards from thefinish line, the two leaders would

make contact and spin. By rule, bothdrivers were scored at the end of thelead lap for being involved in a lastlap incident.

This would benefit the 27 of NeilHerne, who was running a verystrong third position. Herne had justpurchased the car early in the week,and spent all week thrashing to get itrace ready. All the hard work wouldpay off with his first feature win ofthe year. Wayne Calkins (14) wouldcome home second and CharlieMeyer Sr (94) would come homethird after the dust had settled.

Citrus County Speedway will beclosed this Saturday night in obser-vance of the July 4th holiday week-end. But racing will crank back upon July 9th with the Open WheelModifieds, Sportsman, Taylor MadeHomes Pure Stocks, Sheldon PalmesInsurance Mini Stocks, Pro figure8’s, and the Outlaw Modified Mini’s.

This will be almost the same pro-gram the speedway ran this pastweekend, so several of the battleswill pick right back up where theyleft off. Everyone have a safe andhappy 4th, see you at the races!

Up past their bedtime?Nighttime orviolent TVtied to tots’sleep woesLINDSEY TANNERAP Medical Writer

CHICAGO — If your pre-schooler can’t sleep, turnoff the violence and night-time TV.

That’s the message in anew study that found sleepproblems are more com-mon in 3- to 5-year-oldswho watch television after7 p.m.

Watching shows with vio-lence — including kids’cartoons — also was tied tosleeping difficulties.

Watching nonviolentshows during the day didn’tseem to have any connec-tion with sleep problems inthe 617 youngsters studied.

The study builds on pre-vious research linkingmedia use with kids’ sleepproblems, and bolsters ar-guments for limiting chil-dren’s screen time.

The American Academyof Pediatrics recommendsno screen time for childrenup to age 2, and no morethan 2 hours daily for olderchildren. It also urges pedi-atricians to ask parents atevery checkup how muchtheir children watch televi-sion, including whetherkids have TVs in their bed-rooms, which the academydiscourages.

Previous studies havefound at least one in fourU.S. preschoolers have TVsin their bedrooms, andmany families mistakenlybelieve watching TV willhelp their kids sleep, saidDr. Michelle Garrison, leadauthor and a scientist atSeattle Children’s HospitalResearch Institute.

The government-fundedstudy was released onlineMonday by the journal Pe-diatrics.

Overall, about 112 kidsstudied — nearly one infive — had one or more fre-quent sleep problems most

days of the week. These in-cluded difficulty fallingasleep, awakening repeat-edly at night, nightmares ordaytime sleepiness.

Kids who watched themost nighttime or violentTV had the most sleep trou-ble. TV was the mainsource of screen timerather than computers orvideo games.

The study relied on par-ents’ reports of kids’ sleepdifficulties and TV habits,and wasn’t rigorous enoughto tell whether TV caused

sleep problems. It could be poor sleepers

might be more likely towatch TV; or family factorssuch as lax parenting couldhave been involved.

Experts said the theorythat screen time causessleep problems makessense.

Dr. Dennis Rosen, a sleepmedicine specialist at Chil-dren’s Hospital Boston,said the research high-lights a common problem.

“It certainly fits withwhat I see” at his sleep dis-

orders clinic, Rosen said.Young children go to

sleep best with nighttimerituals that help calm them,including bedtime storiesand cuddling with parents,said Dr. Marc Weissbluth, asleep disorders specialistat Chicago’s Children’s Me-morial Hospital and authorof several books on healthysleep habits.

TV can have the oppositeeffect, stimulating children,and if it’s replacing thatdown time with parents, itcan be unhealthy, Weiss-bluth said.

While some preschoolersstill nap during the day,sleepiness late in the dayor early evening at this ageis a sign children need to goto bed earlier at night, hesaid.

Lack of sleep “is as dan-gerous as iron deficiency”and can cause behavioral

difficulties, memory prob-lems and academic strug-gles, he said.

Some findings for thechildren studied:

■ Daily screen time aver-aged about 73 minutes,with 14 minutes after 7 p.m.

■ Children with bedroomTVs watched about 40 min-utes more TV daily.

■ About 60 kids averagedan hour or more daily of vi-olent TV; 37 percent hadfrequent sleep problems vs.19 percent who saw little orno violence.

■ Almost 100 kids aver-aged more than half anhour of nighttime TV; 28percent had frequent sleepproblems vs. 19 percentwho watched little or nonighttime TV.

Banning all screen timefor children may be unrea-sonable, but the study sug-gests eliminating nighttimeor violent TV might have animpact, Garrison said.

Everyone has good intentionsto keep their ears clean, butcertain practices could cause

risk of injury and affect your long-term ability to hear.

The ear is a very com-plicated, delicate struc-ture. The external ear is acartilage structure that iscovered with skin, andthe skin extends all theway into the canal for sev-eral centimeters until itreaches the eardrum,which is nearly roundand about 1 centimeter indiameter and about 1 mil-limeter in thickness.

The canal has a littlebit of an S-shape to it, a protectionmechanism so it is not easy to bumpthe eardrum. But devices such astoothpicks, paperclips, keys and cot-ton-tipped applicators can make

their way down the ear canal to theeardrum and perforate and damagethe eardrum as well as the little earbones in the middle ear. So, here are

some simple things thatcan be done to removewax and protect your earsfrom damage.

First of all, we have tounderstand earwax is nota bad thing. It is a naturalproduct of the body,which acts as a protec-tion. Foreign objects thatfly in the ear, such assmall insects, would at-tach to the wax much likefly paper. It is self-clean-ing and does not neces-sarily need to be

regularly removed unless it is caus-ing some sort of problem. Some peo-ple inherently make a lot of wax and

Handle ears with careAt the request of 2 patients

this week, I wanted to dis-cuss two things found in the

mouth that are oftenconfused with oral can-cer by a patient.

The first item is calleda tori. A tori is foundmost commonly on theinside of the lower jawjust below the teeth or inthe center of the roof ofthe mouth.

In the case of thelower jaw, it is called amandibular tori becausethe lower jaw is calledthe mandible. In thecase of the upper, jaw or roof of themouth, it is called a maxillary toribecause the bone the upper teethare joined to is called the maxilla.

A tori is a variation of normaland is simply an outgrowth of bone.

Both of these tori are found morecommonly as we age and are oftendiscovered accidentally. It is be-

cause of this accidentaldiscovery that they oftenalarm a patient. Most pa-tients are adamant theyhave never had it and itis brand new.

There is no need fortheir removal unlessthey are in the way of adentist fabricating adenture for the patient.Depending on how largethe tori is, it will eitherneed to be removed orworked around.

The other item iscalled the circumvallate papilla.These can be found on the veryback of the tongue on its upper ortop surface.

HEALTH & LIFECITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 2011 C3

Osteoporosis drug can interact with foods, beveragesQ:What can you

tell me abouttaking Fos-

amax for osteoporosis?A: Fosamax (generic

name alendronate) is atype of drug known as a“bisphosphonate.”Other bisphosphonatesinclude Actonel (rise-dronate), Boniva (iban-dronate) and Reclast(zoledronic acid). Bis-phosphonates are usedto treat osteoporosis be-cause they work to prevent thebreakdown of bone (bone resorp-tion) by the osteoclast bone cells.This helps to bring the mainte-nance of bone by the body backinto balance.

Bisphosphonates such as Fos-

amax are useful drugsfor osteoporosis, buttheir activity can be af-fected by other drugsand foods or drinks.

For example, Zantac(ranitidine), which isused for heartburn,may increase the activ-ity of Fosamax, whilecalcium supplementsor antacids can inter-fere with the absorp-tion of Fosamax whentaken together.

The use of Fosamax can also in-crease the risk of gastrointestinalproblems when taken with as-pirin. In addition food, coffee ororange juice can significantly re-duce the absorption and clinicaleffects of Fosamax.

In view of these interactions,Fosamax tablets should be takenwith a full glass of plain water firstthing in the morning and at least30 minutes before any other bev-erage or food. Patients taking Fos-amax should also avoid lyingdown for at least 30 minutes aftertaking this medication to reducethe chance of irritation to theswallowing tube (esophagus).

If supplemental calcium and vi-tamin D are being utilized withFosamax, they should not be takenwithin 30 minutes of Fosamax sothey don’t interfere with its ab-sorption from the stomach.

A recent Johns Hopkins HealthAlert (www.johnshopkinshealthalerts.com, 2011) also offers thefollowing strategies successful atincreasing adherence to bisphos-

phonate medications:■ Minimize the risk of side ef-

fects. To reduce the risk of gas-trointestinal side effects with anoral bisphosphonate, be sure youtake the bisphosphonate in themorning on an empty stomachwith a 12-ounce glass of waterwhile standing or sitting in an up-right position. For 30 minutes af-terward, do not lie down or eat ordrink anything other than water.

■ Reduce the dosing frequency.Dosing regimens that are less fre-quent can help with the inconven-ience of once-a-day oralbis phos phonates. Once-weeklyregimens of Fosamax or Actonelappear to be just as effective andmay minimize the risk of gastroin-testinal side effects. Actonel andBoniva are available in a tablet

that can be taken once a month.■ Switch to another formula-

tion. If you still cannot tolerateoral forms of bisphosphonates be-cause of the side effects, two in-travenous (IV) forms are available:I.V. Boniva, which is given everythree months, and I.V. Reclast,which is given once a year or onceevery two years.

■ Lower your costs. If cost is afactor, there is an inexpensive,generic form of Fosamax knownas alendronate. It is available inthe weekly dose.

need regular cleaning, butmost of the time, it is a self-clearing process by evapo-ration.

Because the body temper-ature is warm, the wax isusually fairly moist or fluidand can be removed with awarm moist wash cloth toclean the outside of yourears. Also, you can use a fewdrops of mineral oil, vitaminE oil, baby oil, sweet oil orolive oil.

Moisten the ear wax andlet it naturally work its wayout of the ear and evaporate.There are commercial prod-ucts available to moistenand remove earwax. How-ever, sometimes they can bequite caustic and irritatingand can lead to ear pain andear infection. If you have achronic or recurrent prob-lem with wax impaction,you may need to see yourphysician or ENT doctor tomake sure the wax is com-pletely removed and avoidinstrumenting your ear ifpossible.

If you have drainage ordischarge from the ear, earfullness, ear pain or re-duced hearing or ear symp-toms that just go on and on,you might need to enlist thehelp of your physician. Also,you can ask your doctorabout other recommendedtreatments from removal ofwax. Gentle irrigation with abulb syringe and rinsing theear while you are in theshower are possibilities.

Typically, if you go to aphysician, you will find theprimary care doctors tend touse a water irrigation sys-tem to remove wax where asthe ENT doctor tends to usea microscope and variousinstruments, forceps,curettes and even suctionapparatus to remove thewax. Generally speaking, itis a very simple process andusually is very effective inremoving wax.

Don’t be tempted to placethings in your ear. Regard-less of how secure you are indoing this, you do not havethe ability to see where youare going and, therefore, in-strumenting the ear putsyou at risk for injury to thecanal or eardrum, whichcan be temporary and mayresolve on its own or could

be permanent and as severeas puncturing your eardrumor disarticulating the littleear bones in the middle earthat are very important forhearing properly.

Never, never use an earcandle to remove ear wax.This is a structure that is acone-shaped, hollow candlemade of wax-impregnatedcloth used to remove wax.The device is lit on fire andthe makers claim thewarmth created by the firedraws the wax and so calledother impurities out of theear canal by suction. Injurycan include burning of theface, ear, wax dripping intothe ear canal to mention afew potential hazards. TheFDA and Canadian HealthAgencies have both put outbulletins in 2010 because ofan uptick in emergencyroom visits directly relatedto this process.

Other devices that havebeen tried to irrigate earcanals include water picks,which could be at the veryleast uncomfortable, if notdamaging to the ear drum.Try to remember things likeear fullness and earache oreven just a sensation the earis plugged could be tellingyou there is a problem. Par-tial or complete hearing lossis also something that mustnot be ignored.

Wax can even sometimescause noises in the ear aswell as itching, and there issometimes a distinct odor tothe wax because of staphbacteria. Make sure youtake care of your ears sinceyou’re only issued two, andfollow some simple rules toensure you do not injureyour ears. And, as always,seek out the opinion of yourdoctor if you have any ques-tions or issues.

The preceding informa-tion for this article was com-piled with informationavailable through the U.S.Department of Health andHuman Services and theAmerican Academy of Oto-laryngology Head and NeckSurgery. For more informa-tion on ear wax and ENThealth conditions, you canvisit www.entnet.org.

findings presented at thismeeting. One such finding isfor the prevention of breastcancer.

The trial involved 4,560postmenopausal women inthe U.S., Canada, Spain andFrance who were consid-ered to be at high risk forbreast cancer because theyhad at least one of the fol-lowing risk factors:

■ 60 years of age or older(49 percent of the enrolledpopulation)

■ Gail five-year risk scoregreater than 1.66 percent (40percent met this threshold);this is one way to estimatethe risk of developing breastcancer for any woman.

■ Prior atypical ductal,lobular hyperplasia, lobular

carcinoma in-situ, or ductalcarcinoma in-situ (DCIS)treated with mastectomy (11percent); these are precan-cerous conditions.

After a median follow-upof three years, women in theexemestane group showed a65 percent reduction in in-vasive breast cancer, com-pared with those in theplacebo group (11 vs. 32cases). There was also a 60percent reduction in inva-sive breast cancer plus pre-invasive DCIS in the 66cases found. In addition,there were fewer cases ofcancer precursor lesions,such as atypical ductal andatypical lobular hyperpla-sia, in the exemestanegroup.

Symptoms such as hotflashes, fatigue, sweating, in-somnia and arthralgia werereported by 88 percent of thewomen in the exemestane

group and 85 percent ofthose in the placebo group.

More serious adverseevents, such as bone frac-tures, osteoporosis, hyperc-holesterolemia, adversecardiovascular events andother non-breast cancers,were reported by similarnumbers in each group.

Two other drugs, tamox-ifen and Raloxifen, are ap-proved for the same reasonbut both are associated withincreased risk of cancer ofthe uterus, clots in the legand occasionally in the lungand, rarely, stroke. Obvi-ously, the use of these drugsfor cancer prevention is verylow. Now exemestane hascome as a newer alternativeand it does not cause theabove-mentioned side ef-fects. Also, it is generic andvery inexpensive and ismore effective than bothother drugs.

Andrea De Censi, M.D.,from the Ente OspedalerioOspedali Galliera in Genoa,Italy, said, “There has beenan impressive decline inheart disease in the last 25years.” He pointed out someof this is related to the useof drugs, such as statins andantihypertensive agents, toprevent cardiovascularcomplications. We can dothe same in reducing can-cer.

Fund released a report May23 that added recent re-search findings to its grow-ing database on the role ofdiet, physical activity andweight in colorectal cancerrisk. We have discussed thelink of obesity and inactivitywith regard to the risk ofcancer in many of my previ-ous columns. The data tosupport these findings con-tinues to grow, as do thewaistlines of far too manyAmericans.

But it is not just howmuch you eat; it is also whatyou eat. One finding of thenew report is diets high inred meat and processedmeat clearly lead to an in-creased risk of colorectalcancer.

According to researchers,two aspects of the tradi-tional American cookout —what you grill and how yougrill it — can have a role inraising your risk for cancer.Part of this is commonsense, but many of us mightnot realize all of the risk.For instance, large portionsof red meat and processedmeat are a well-known linkto an increase in the risk ofcolorectal cancer. And,while the evidence on the

link between grilling itselfand cancer risk is lessstrong, it only makes senseto take some easy, cancer-protective precautions.

Part of the problem is re-lated to the technique ofcooking. Research hasshown when any kind ofmeat, poultry or fish iscooked at high tempera-tures, especially when well-done or charred,cancer-causing compoundscalled heterocyclic amines(HCAs) and polycyclic aro-matic hydrocarbons (PAHs)are formed. These sub-stances can theoreticallydamage DNA in ways thatmake cancer more likely.But there are ways to con-tinue to enjoy the grill andcook safely.

First, add some color toyour cooking. Try grillingsome colorful vegetablesand fruits, and cut back onthe amount of red meat andprocessed meat on yourcookout menu. Plant foodscontain a variety of natu-rally occurring compoundscalled phytochemicals,many of which provide theirown anti-cancer protection.Vegetables such as aspara-gus, onions, mushrooms,zucchini, eggplant and corn-on-the cob are favorites, be-cause grilling brings outflavors that even the picki-est eaters enjoy. Even salad

can be grilled and the tastecompletely changes, a greataddition to your meal. Cutfruit before putting it on thegrill: apples, peaches andpears can be halved and ba-nanas split lengthwise.

Second, marinate themeats you cook before cook-ing them. And mix it up, grillchicken, pork, fish and redmeat. Whatever meat youchoose, start by mixing up amarinade with some of yourfavorite herbs along withvinegar or lemon juice. Mar-inating meat has beenshown to reduce the forma-tion of HCAs. Precisely whymarinades are protective isstill under investigation, butthere is some evidencepointing to the acids (vine-gar and citrus) or the an-tioxidant content. Even just30 minutes in the marinadecan help cut back on the for-mation of HCSs.

Third, consider pre-cook-ing the meat before grillingit. You can do this in the mi-crowave, oven or stove tohelp reduce the amount oftime the meat sits on thegrill exposed to high heat.To ensure safe food han-dling, just be sure to put thepartially cooked meat onthe preheated grill immedi-ately to complete the cook-ing process.

Finally, if you can, cookslowly and with a low tem-

perature and slowly. Smok-ers are great for this. To re-duce the amount of HCAsand PAHs that end up inand on the meat, slow downthe cooking time with a lowflame,and keep burning andcharring to a minimum.

The charring can be verybad for you, so make sureyou cut off any visible fatprior to grilling, and thiswill reduce flare-ups. Youcan also cook the food in thecenter of the grill and movecoals to the side to preventfat and juices from drippingon them and leading to aflare-up.

When the cooking is done,cut off any charred portionsof the meat that will containthe highest levels of harmfulcontents.

Finally, have a great sum-mer, and don’t forget the sunblock!

DR. FRANK BONO, D.O.Special to the Chronicle

Recent national news re-ports have shed negativelight on surgical proce-

dures performed on some patientsto alleviate back and next pain.More than 65 million Americanssuffer from low back pain eachyear.

After the common cold, lowback pain is the next leading rea-son for missed workdays for peo-ple younger than 45.

When spine problems developdue to injury, aging, wear and tear,or deformity, treatment optionsshould focus on the actual sourceof the problem with the leastamount of interruption to a pa-tient’s life.

Conservative treatment such asmedication, physical therapy, brac-ing or lifestyle changes may suc-cessfully treat problems caused byslipped discs, slipped vertebrae orcurvature of the spine.

However, for many people, sur-gery may be the best option.

New, minimally invasive proce-dures perfected within the last 10years involve innovative muscle-dilating approaches that allowsurgeons to locate, view, repair,fuse and instrument the spinethrough two 1-inch incisions.These surgeries have treated backpain and deformity with the leastamount of interruption whileachieving the same surgical ob-jectives as open procedures.

According to the co-director ofthe Division of Spine Surgery atJohns Hopkins Orthopaedic Sur-gery, minimally invasive proce-dures have the potential to reducehospital stays, improve patient re-covery and decrease risk to thepatient.

Typically, the procedure, whichis performed in a hospital setting,lasts an hour with patients goinghome the following day. When per-

formed in a Medicare approvedfacility, these surgeries involve lit-tle or no out-of-pocket cost to thepatient who has Medicare withsecondary insurance.

However, due to the technicaldemands of the minimally inva-sive spine surgeries, significantcomplication rates have been ob-served in cases where surgeonsare still in the learning curvestage for procedures.

Kim Mulligan, Ph.D. and direc-tor of Abbason and Associates, amedical review and quality assur-ance firm, encourages patientsand families to ask pointed ques-tions when considering minimallyinvasive spine surgery for chronicpain relief:

■ Is your surgeon board certi-fied in orthopedic surgery?

■ Is your surgeon fellowshiptrained, and if so in what specialty?

■ How long in practice?

■ How many procedures of thatspecific type does he/she performon a weekly basis?

■ Do they have hospital privi-leges and are they approved bythe Medical Staff Credentialscommittee to perform the specificprocedure? This is important be-cause surgeries performed at asurgery center typically do not re-quire the same level of credentialsas a hospital. If there are compli-cations, your surgeon would notbe able to treat you at the nearbyhospital if they do not have privileges.

■ Is he/she a member of na-tional or state associations/soci-eties for the specialties?

Dr. Mulligan also recommendspatients vet their physicians byvisiting the license verificationwebsite provided by the FloridaDepartment of Health.

Studies show minimally inva-sive spine surgical procedures for

chronic back pain — even on theelderly — result in most patientsenjoying significant improve-ments in pain, mobility and qual-ity of life.

Plans in progress for ballAnnual CattleBaron’s Ball set

for Feb. 11

Five years ago, theFlorida Confer-ence of United

Methodists sent the Crys-tal River UnitedMethodist Church con-gregation a genuineblessing: Pastor DavidGill and his wife, Susan.

As they prepare to takeup a new ministry at aSeminole UnitedMethodist Church, Ipause to reflect upon hisministry here.

A popular hit-parade tune of the1950s — which topped the charts forseveral weeks — and was and is stilla favorite of mine was “LittleThings Mean A Lot.” It best de-scribes Pastor David.

Although he stands 6 foot 7inches, he is by far the most gentlepastor I have personally known inmy 51-year membership at CrystalRiver United Methodist Church.

Recalling how he chose to offerup his prayers and concerns of ourchurch and the community as heknelt at the altar rather than fromthe pulpit, I recall that come Sep-tember, he placed on the altar thenames of all the children andyouths on slips of paper for us totake home and pray for during theirschool year. He always invited us to

join him at the altar.He delighted in shar-

ing his banjo-playing tal-ent with Annie and Tim’sBluegrass Band along-side pastors of St. Anne’sEpiscopal Church andSt. Timothy LutheranChurch, entertaining theRetired Educators at theWithlacoochee Techni-cal Center, the AlphaClass at the Beverly HillsBaptist Church and as afundraiser for this year’s

combined Bible school for childrenfrom St. Anne’s, St. Timothy andFirst Presbyterian churches. As hehelped promote the UnitedMethodist Women and UnitedMethodist Men, encouraging and af-firming our mission-oriented proj-ects alongside the community’sgrowing outreach needs, we knewwe had a compassionate, listeningear in Pastor David and a strongsupporter.

Several times a week you couldfind Pastor David out at the Missionin Citrus in Crystal River, encour-aging the homeless under the guid-ance of Jim Sleighter, providing ourchurch bus to transport those whowished to attend Sunday morningservices.

With his leadership, we offered

an Alpha class to the communityand at its closing session, he andSusan offered his home for a fel-lowship dinner.

The Bright Beginnings childrendelighted in the weekly worshipservices he held for them in thesanctuary.

Bringing the NOMADS to ourchurch was the beginning of a pos-sible annual community outreachprogram that will continue for yearsto come.

Pastor David took a personal in-terest in many individuals, workingwith the Mercy Angels, the bereave-ment committees, Serving Our Sen-iors and the Stephen Ministries.

The youths had a friend in PastorDavid as they held breakfasts tofund Mission in Citrus and as theytraveled to Arcadia and the Caroli-nas on mission trips.

The Gills traveled with ourchurch volunteers to Honduras ona mission trip as well.

We have implemented outstandingleadership training opportunitieswith Pastor David’s guidance, in-cluding the Wednesday evening ICS(International Christian Studies).

Many who are called are astuteorators, astounding philosophersand have theology to spare, but thelittle things that Pastor David in-stilled in us by example will serve

us well as we continue to mature inour faith-based walk reaching out tothose in spiritual as well as physi-cal need in our beloved CitrusCounty.

ENTERTAINMENTCITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 2011 C7

Evan Esar, a humorist who diedin 1995, said, “The girl with a futureavoids a man with a past.” Thatmade me wonder if a man with afuture avoids a girl with a past.

In bridge, we have an avoidanceplay, which comes up in today’sdeal. South is in three no-trump.West leads the club six, and Eastputs up his queen. How shouldSouth plan the play?

North rebid three diamonds, notwith aspirations of making that suittrumps, but in the hope that Southcould show three-card spade sup-port. Since South did not and had aclub stopper, he continued withthree no-trump.

South had seven top tricks: twospades, two hearts, two diamondsand one club. South played low attrick one, played low again whenEast returned the club four (the

higher of two remaining cards), andwon the third club.

Now declarer knew that he hadto establish either spades or heartswithout letting West win a trick;otherwise, he would cash two clubwinners. That needed the majorsuit to split 3-3.

In spades, though, surely Westwould be able to take a trick in thesuit. But as long as East had exactlyqueen-third in hearts, he could beforced to win the defensive hearttrick.

South led a spade to dummy’sking and called for a heart. AfterEast played low, declarer won withhis ace, crossed to dummy’s dia-mond ace, and led the remainingheart.

If East played low, South wouldwin and lead a third round. If Eastput up his queen, he would be al-lowed to take the trick.

Mission accomplished.

Dear Annie: I’m a youngwoman who is living athome for the summer be-

fore moving away inthe fall. Here’s mydilemma: Severalmonths ago, I excitedlyarranged for my long-distance boyfriend tolive with my familyand get work nearby.Unfortunately, nowthat he’s here, I findthat I simply don’twant to be in a rela-tionship with him any-more.

He hasn’t done any-thing wrong. I’m just adifferent person fromwho I was a couple of years agowhen we began dating. Now hislittle flaws that I so desperatelyconvinced myself to overlookseem increasingly like dealbreakers.

I’m planning to give the rela-tionship a few more weeks tomake sure this isn’t simply aphase, but frankly, I don’t expectmy feelings to change. How do Ihandle this? I realize that hurtinghim is inevitable, but breaking upwith him in the middle of thesummer and making him moveout of my parents’ home could se-riously undermine his efforts topay for his own education.

What’s even worse is that myfriends and family are putting se-rious effort into accepting himinto the family because they ex-pect us to get married. I hate thatthey may form an attachment tosomeone I am now planning tobreak up with. I want to do theright thing and cause the leastpossible amount of hurt. Please

help me, Annie. — Hearts Don’tBreak Even

Dear Hearts: Don’t worryabout your friends andrelatives. They willmanage. But you doneed to talk to yourboyfriend as soon aspossible and explainthat the relationshipisn’t going to work out.Some pain cannot beavoided, so better nowthan later. Be as gentleas possible. Apologizefor uprooting him.And, since his liveli-hood is currently de-pendent on his livingarrangements, it

would be gracious if your parentswould allow him to stay tem-porarily while he looks for aplace of his own. Offer to helphim search. The fact that you aremoving away in the fall will makethis easier on both of you.

Dear Annie: I hope you willprint my pet peeve so retailerswill take notice. No matter whereI shop, no one knows how toproperly give change. If I pay $20for a $15.95 purchase, the changeis handed to me in a pile of coins,bills and a receipt. I have to fum-ble to count it.

I cashiered many years ago. Iwould give the customer thenickel, saying, “And five centsmakes 16,” and then count out theremaining four dollars, saying,“Seventeen, 18, 19, 20.” Mostcashiers today can’t add or sub-tract without the register to dothe thinking for them. In addi-tion, when the transaction iscomplete, I am told cheerfully,“Have a good one.” Have a good

what? Whatever happened to asimple, “Thank you, and pleasecome again”?

And last but not least, why isthe receipt so long? Imagine howmuch paper could be saved ifthey skipped the surveys and ad-vertising. — Inger from N.H. whoHates To Shop

Dear Inger: One function ofthis column is to allow the read-ers to let off a little steam nowand then.

Hope you feel better.Dear Annie: The letter from

“Disappointed Grandmother” re-minded me of a story I heardmany years ago.

Two elderly ladies were talkingabout gifts given to the grand-children. Esther lamented thatshe had sent money to each ofher grandchildren for Christmasand didn’t get a single thank-younote.

Paula proudly said, “Every oneof my grandchildren came per-sonally to thank me for their gift.”

At the look on Esther’s face,Paula simply smiled and said, “Ididn’t sign the checks.” — Michi-gan Grandma

Investors Realty, Inc

With "FX4 OFFROAD" emblazoned onits bed sides and the new 5.0-liter V-8 sitting beneath the domed hood,

you might expect the Ford F-150's character to be lim-ited to a rugged, mud-slinging brute.That's true, in part,but the 4x4 SuperCab test truck also has a notably re-fined driving character, upscale interior and sophisti-cated electronics to make it a civilized workhorse.

Base priced at $36,625, the 2011 FX4 SuperCabpickup is upgraded with a $2,950 FX Luxury Package,giving the F-150 a drive-out price of$40,550 after tacking on $975 desti-nation charge.

This 144.5-inch-wheelbase modelhas a 6.5-foot cargo box -- one ofthree box lengths that also include 5.5-and 8-foot sizes. The imposing-lookingtest truck is painted in Blue FlameMetallic, which is one of seven colorchoices. The greatest visual pop comeswith a special Red Candy Metallic,which adds $250 to the price tag.Tuxedo Black Metallic is another fittingcolor for the F-150's refined and

macho character blend. Coupled with the FX4-standardtall, gray billet-style grille with body-color surround, thecool factor is pushed a notch higher.

FX4 models are poised on P275/65R-18 GoodyearWrangler all-season tires, wrapping machined-alu-minum six-spoke wheels with painted inserts. Twenty-inch premium painted six-spoke aluminum wheels area $755 option.

Power to these wheels is via Ford's 5.0-liter V-8 --one of four new powertrains -- that is a version of the5.0 planted in the 2011 Mustangs.Mated to a six-speedautomatic transmission, it cranks out 360 horsepower at5,500 rpm and 380 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,250 rpm.

Fuel economy for 4x4 models is 14 miles per galloncity and 19 mpg highway. Fitted with a standard 3.73rear axle, maximum towing is 9,400 pounds and pay-load capacity is 1,680 pounds.

The 5.0's power is just right for most consumers'needs, handling typical work duty and providing ampleon-tap acceleration for city and highway driving. Moremuscle -- with a better 15/21 fuel economy -- is avail-able with a $2,370 upgrade to the 3.5-liter V-6 Eco-Boost.With twin-turbocharging efficiency, it propels theF-150 with 365 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and, moreimportantly, 420 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,500 rpm. Thishefty torque, coupled with a 4.10 rear axle, gives the F-

150 the grunt to tow 11,300 poundsand tote a payload up to 2,080pounds.

Inside the SuperCab, the well-insu-lated cabin prevents much of the en-gine and road noise from entering thecab. Ride quality also is surprisinglygood for a 4x4 pickup.The suspensionis a coil-on-shock, independent type upfront and leaf springs with outboardshocks in the rear.

Cadillac Dealer GrowthSurging Globally– and in U.S. Sales

Selling-off its remaining DTS and STSlarge sedan models, Cadillac is preparingfor the debut of a model called XTS in aconcept version.The XTS will replace both the DTS and

STS when it goes on sale next year.Cadillac could actually run out of the

big cars before the XTS debuts, but the

brand is headed for strong sales growthin 2011.This increase is due mostly to the suc-

cess of the SRX midsize cross/utility vehi-cle, which has vaulted from ninth tosecond place in its segment.

The SRX is outsold only by the LexusRX 350/450. Sales of the CTS still lag be-

hind Cadillac's two major German com-petitors: BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.The BMW 3 Series is far andaway the sales leader in the segment.The CTS only trails the Mercedes-Benz

C-Class by about 2,200 units as of April30.The Cadillac CTS outsells theAudiA3,A4 and A6 combined. The CTS also out-

sells its Asian competitors.The XTS concept is just one of the

bookends that Cadillac plans to fortifyaround its CTS products. Cadillac alsoannounced plans to build a car smallerthan the CTS about 18 months ago. The

See FX4/Page D4

See GROWTH/Page D3

The new Cadillac XTS concept sedan has a distinctive proportion that transcends the traditional aestheticof luxury sedans and pushes Cadillac design in a more progressive manner. The unique proportion createsa sleek profile that complements the car's advanced technology elements and necessary aerodynamics.

In the early 1930s, the sheriff ofWisconsin's Iron County,Frank Erspamer, needed an automobile in which to patrolhis jurisdiction. He lived in Hurley,Wis., but went to Besse-mer, Mich., to purchase a 1931 Dodge four-door sedan.

Erspamer paid $950 as he took delivery of a DH-6model Dodge. In 1931, Dodge gave customers a choice ofwire wheels with adjustable spokes or wooden artillerywheels with elliptical spokes made of select hickory andbalanced.There was no difference in price, so the sheriff se-lected the 3x19-inch wood wheels. The wheels were shodwith 5.00x19-inch non-skid balloon tires.

About three years passed with the Dodge faithfullyserving Sheriff Erspamer. In April 1934, word spreadthrough the regional law enforcement community thatbank-robber John Dillinger, along with several armed gang-ster companions,were at the Little Bohemia Lodge in Man-itowishWaters in northernWisconsin.

Dozens of federal, state and local lawmen raced to theresort. Sheriff Erspamer responded in his Dodge accompa-nied by three of his deputies. Dillinger managed to escapeduring the ensuing gun battle.

Following his term as Sheriff, Erspamer passed theDodge to his son,Bernie.The son had his father's Dodge re-stored to like-new condition in 1980, which included re-upholstering the interior and spraying fresh lacquer on theexterior. Around the fabric insert in the top a coat of darkforest green was applied.The lower portion of the car wearsa coat of light mint green.

Like most cars of that era, the fenders and apron abovethe running boards are painted black.The spare tire is out-side at the rear of the car.

The 2,820-pound Dodge is propelled by an in-line, six-cylinder, L-head, 211-cubic-inch engine that is rated at 68

horsepower.A total of 29 louvers on each side of the longengine hood help dissipate heat produced by the engine.A17.5-inch, four-blade fan pulls air through the radiator tohelp control the heat in the 3.5-gallon cooling system. Aswith all Chrysler products, the Dodge was equipped withfour-wheel hydraulic internal-expanding brakes.

The front interior has a bench seat and a 17-inch di-ameter, three-spoke steering wheel. On the hub of thesteering wheel are the horn and light controls, which in-clude both straightaway and depressed headlight beams,cowl lights and taillight. Dodge literature points out thatthe stoplight is automatic.

The ebony paneled dashboard is home to the chokeand throttle controls.All the usual instruments are clusterednear the 90-mph speedometer. The odometer can record100,000 miles before rolling over to begin the second100,000 miles, quite a feat in 1931.

Sprouting from the floor, so as to be close to the rightknee of the driver, is the handbrake lever and the gearshiftlever to operate the three-speed manual transmission.

Above the one-piece non-glare windshield is a fixedmetal visor. The windshield, in a chrome-plated frame, ishinged so that it can be pushed open at the bottom toadmit fresh air into the cabin. In front of the windshield isa pair of cowl ventilators.A single wiper keeps clear the dri-ver's side of the windshield.

The Dodge is equipped with a single barrel up-draftcarburetor, an air cleaner, as well as a flame arrestor. Thegasoline tank has a capacity of 15.5 gallons.

In September 2001, the Dodge was still sparklingthanks to a lot of pampering.That's when Bernie Erspamersold the car to his niece, Leigh Anne Price -- a grand-daughter of Sheriff Erspamer. For the last decade, the 1931Dodge has been shown at various events near her Min-neapolis, Minn., home -- and it's always a favorite at thelocal parades.

WITH JUNIOR DAMATO

ASK THEAUTO

DOCTOR

BAD VIBESCALL FOROVERHAULDEAR DOCTOR: I own a 2005Mercedes-Benz S500 with 4-Matic all-wheel drive and99,000 miles. When turningthe steering wheel all theway to either side in a park-ing lot I feel a binding vibra-tion, as I speed up orstraighten wheel the feelinggoes away.Also, the transmission does

not shift as firmly as it oncedid.The dealer said the trans-mission and transfer casewould need to be overhauledat a cost of $6000. Whatother solutions are there?Barry

Dear Barry: I see this type ofproblem on AWD vehicles ofmany makes.One of the biggest problems

is the lack of driveline fluidchanges. Every one of the ve-hicles I have serviced forthese complaints had theoriginal fluids in them andthe fluids were burnt.In order to change the

transfer case fluid on theMercedes 4-Matic, the heatshield and transmission sup-port needs to be removed todrain the fluid. The transfercase only holds a quart offluid.I recommend using 3 quarts

-- two to flush the unit andone to refill it.The front differential fluid

needs to be flushed using apower steering flush machinewith a long plastic tube push-ing it to the bottom on thecase.Next, use the new fluid to

push out all the old fluid. Thetransmission fluid and rearend differential fluid alsoshould be drained and filled.Make sure the shop uses onlyMercedes factory fluids.

I recommend the fluids bechanged every 50,000 milesor 5 years.I realize my recommenda-

tion time interval does notagree with the factory recom-mendation.

1931 Dodge in Shootout withAmerican Gangster John Dillinger

There's not a lot of buzzthese days from the compact-pickup segment, but Toyotacontinues to make a strongstatement with its 2011Tacoma. It has the right stuffto stand out as the best-sell-ing compact pickup truck inNorth America.

A lineup with models ap-pealing to varied tastes andneeds, muscular body lines,refined and practical interiors,a choice of efficient four- andsix-cylinder powertrains, anda reputation for durabilitygive Tacomas an edge withconsumers.

A solid representative ofthe rugged-and-refined char-acter for which Tacomas areknown is the up-line DoubleCab V-6 4x4 (4WDemand)model withthe TRD Off-Road ExtraValue Pack-age. DoubleCab V-6 4x4models with5-foot shortbox start at$26,145 andthe TRD Off-Road Pack-age adds$ 2 , 9 3 0( m a n u a ltransmission)and $3,035(automatict r a n s m i s -sion). Long-b o x(6 - foo t -1 -inch) V-6,4x4 DoubleCab modelsrequire anau tomat i ctransmissionand start at$27,525.

Tacomasequipped with the TRD Off-Road Package address the de-mands of those who regularlybattle hostile terrain, needingenhancements beyond only4x4 traction. Lessening thechallenges of steep grades areDownhill Assist Control andHill Assist Control.

The DAC assists in main-taining downhill speed to 15mph or less and helps keepthe truck on a straight trackby independently controllingbrakes at each wheel. TheHAC helps when the pickupis in transition from a stoppedposition to proceeding up asteep hill.

HAC independently con-trols brakes at each wheel toprevent the truck from rollingback or slipping sideways.

Differential lock, includedin theTRD Off-Road Package,plays an important role dur-ing serious off-road situationssuch as crawling throughdeep mud.A tap on a switch,with the truck travelingbelow 5 mph, boosts tractionby evenly distributing tractionto both rear wheels.

Addressing the need for acompromise between off-roadcapability and on-pavementhandling, Toyota engineersmade chassis modifications.The TRD Off-Road Packageupgrades with specially tunedBilstein shocks, progressive-rate front springs that becomestiffer as they are compressed,28-mm front stabilizer bar and265/70/R-16 B.F. GoodrichRugged Trail tires.

Tacoma's 4.0-literV-6 en-gine, protected beneath by askid plate, is a requirement toget the TRD Off-Road Pack-

age. This gutsy six moves theTacoma with 236 horse-power at 5,200 rpm and 266lb.-ft. at 4,000 rpm. The en-gine can be mated with a six-speed manual, or for an extra$880, a five-speed automatictransmission.

Maximum towing capac-ity is 6,400 pounds and thepayload max is 1,295pounds. Estimated fuel econ-omy is 16 miles per galloncity and 20 mpg highway.Toyota recommends fillingTacoma's 21.1-gallon fueltank with regular unleadedgasoline.

Along with pumping upthe grunt, the TRD Off-RoadPackage dresses theTacoma's exterior and inte-rior. The body is distinguished

with achrome grilles u r r o und ,b o d y - c o l -ored frontbumper andover-fenders,s m o k e dhead l amptrim, roundfog l amps,chrome rearbumper, slid-ing rear pri-vacy glassand "TRDOFF ROAD"graphics onthe bedsides. Utilityis addedwith a400W/115Vpowerpointin the bed.

Inside,the cab is fit-ted withfront sportseats withdriver-side

adjustable lumbar support,and an overhead consolewith compass and tempera-ture gauge. The seats aretrimmed in special Sport Fab-ric, and the steering wheeland shifter are leather-wrapped. Refinement isadded with "metallic tone"instrument panel accent. Athird cupholder -- along witha pair up front -- planted inthe center console behind theshifter, is especially handy.

Double Cab and AccessCab models benefit from abackup monitor system withbackup camera linked withthe auto-dim mirror that in-corporates a small monitor. Inthe rear is a 60-40-splitbench with under-seat andbulkhead storage. Seatbackportions with hard rear sur-faces fold to make a conven-ient load floor.

For a $4,150 investmentthe TRD Off-Road ExtraValuePackage is offered with theaddition of a JBL Audio, fea-turing AM/FM CD with six-disc in-dash CD changer,MP3/WMA playback capabil-ity, six speakers and sub-woofer, auxiliary audio jack,and steering wheel controlsfor Bluetooth and XM Radio.

The Tacoma Double Cabis a large "compact" pickup,offering upscale looks insideand out, comfortable five-passenger cab with easy rear-compartment access and,with theV-6, spirited acceler-ation for in-town and high-way driving. The TRDOff-Road package expandsappeal to for those needingan occasional dose of off-pavement adventure.

small Cadillac is expected to becalled the ATS.

"We're about a year away fromfleshing out our entire product line,"says James R. Vurpilat, Cadillac'sglobal marketing director.

The CTS, which is a little biggerthan the 3 Series and C-Class -- al-most big enough to be classed insize with the Mercedes E-Class andBMW 5 Series -- is recently doingphenomenal business,Vurpilat says.

Cadillac has been selling 3,000to 3,500 CTS sedans per month,compared to 1,200 CTS coupes.Nev-ertheless, the CTS coupe is the bestselling luxury coupe on the market.

The V-Series cars have been a

critical element in the revival of theCadillac brand. The CTS-V accountsfor about 10 percent of Cadillac'ssales. "The V-series puts us in aleague with BMW M models andMercedes-Benz AMG cars," Vurpilatsays. "It allows us to compete withthe finest cars in the world."

Going forward,Vurpilat forecaststhat Cadillac's biggest growth op-portunity is in the compact luxurysegment. Cadillac's entry in that cat-egory will have rear-drive architec-ture.

"How much growth, I don'tknow," he says. The executive isguarded in discussing Cadillac's op-portunities in the real premium lux-ury category. "Our priority is to getthe main segments covered," Vurpi-

lat says. "Then we can start thinkingof cars in the S-Class and 7 Seriesrange," he says.

Cadillac also hopes to become aglobal brand like its German com-petitors. Last year Cadillac exportsaccounted for just under 20 percentof the brand's overall sales -- half ofthose in China.

The remainder were exported tothe Middle East, Russia and Europe;as well as NAFTA countries. "Wewould like our export business togrow to 35 to 40 percent of overallsales," he says.

Cadillacs are sold in 42 countriesnow. There are 40 dealers in Europeat present. Vurpilat predicts thatthere will be 60 Cadillac dealers inChina by the end of the year.

power-assisted steering.EPAS draws power only

when needed versus theconventional hydraulicsystem that runs continu-ously off the engine. Thissystem contributes to im-proved fuel economy.

Another advantage ofEPAS is that its tuning issoftware-based, so it canbe custom-tuned in syncwith the truck's power-train, wheelbase andother factors. With EPASthe F-150 gains on-roadfeel and provides less ef-fort to maneuver in park-ing lots.

Along with engineer-ing refinements, the FX4test truck offers luxuryand convenience pluses,making life pleasant forlong treks.Among the extras of-

fered with the availableFX Luxury Package are:powered and heatedleather-upholstered frontcaptain's chairs; auto-matic temperature con-trol; power-adjustablepedals; power-sliding rearwindow; premium audiosystem with six-disc CDchanger and MP3 capabil-ity; rear-view camera; anda reverse-sensing system.

Standard on the FX4is Ford's Sync system, al-lowing for voice-activated

hands-free calling andselection of songs fromthe music collection onyour digital music player,mobile phone or USBdrive.

Also standard is a 4.2-inch LCD productivityscreen, centered in the in-strument cluster, whichprovides selections fromseveral categories: GaugeMode;Trip A/B; Fuel Econ-omy; TruckApps; Settings;and Information. I partic-ularly like the Truck Apps,which assists those whoare towing a trailer with achecklist of questions tohelp ensure the trailer isconnected properly.

Truck Apps also pro-vides information for off-roaders: angle of ascentor descent; pitch-and-roll,which shows the angle ofsurface incline, the degreeof tilt and steering angle;and off-road gear selec-tion, if the vehicle is in4x4 high or 4x4 low andif the E-locker is engaged.

With the electronicshift-on-fly 4x4 system,electronic locking rear dif-ferential and skid plates,the FX4 is outfitted tohandle the challenges ofthe rough stuff.And of course, this

rugged F-150 is equally athome in the city or cruis-ing smooth stretches ofhighway.

Nissan Murano CrossCabrioletIt may be classified as a truck, but

the all-new Nissan Murano ragtopactually breaks new ground. It's likenothing that has ever appeared in themarketplace before. It's part all-wheel-drive crossover SUV and partconvertible, and it's called the NissanMurano CrossCabriolet.

Nissan's 2011 CrossCabriolet de-livers a new and unique, custom bou-tique design form, transforming theMurano from a 4-door to a 2-doorvehicle on a crossover body. Thecrosscab looks like the regular Mu-rano from the nose to the "A" pillar,but everything else from the "A" pil-lar back is new.

The top is a three layer,low-profile soft-top that high-lights the CrossCabriolet'ssleek and sexy silhouette.Wheel wells are pronounced,and there's an upper characterline that runs from the frontwheel arch to the taillamp assemblythat is consistent with theboomerang styling of the Nissan Z.

The 2011 CrossCabriolet's curva-ceous lines carry over into the inte-rior, with available quilted seatbacksand door panel inserts.The front seatdesign features sloping shouldersthat offer improved forward visibilityfor rear seat occupants.

TheMurano CrossCabriolet drawsits motive force from a 3.5-liter

DOHC, 24-valve V6. Power is trans-ferred from the transversely mountedfront engine, through Nissan's sec-ond generation Xtronic CVT trans-mission with Adaptive Shift Controlto all four wheels via an intuitive all-wheel drive system. Horsepower rat-ing is 265 at 6,000 rpm, and thetorque rating is 248 at 4,400 rpm.EPA fuel economy estimates are 17-mpg city and 22-mpg highway. Es-sentially, the drivetrain is shared withthe AWD version of the Murano.

The 2100 Nissan Murano Cross-Cabriolet represents innovation with-out limits, and comes only in oneextremely well-equippedmodel,with:leather appointed seating, available

with premium diagonally quilting forboth seats and door panel inserts;Nissan's Hard-Drive Navigation Sys-tem with 9.3GB Music Box HardDrive and XM NavTraffic; BoseAM/FM/CD audio system with 8speakers including subwoofer andautomatic audio adjustment for softtop position; and RearView Monitor.Pricing is $46,390 completelyequipped.

My first reaction to the conceptof a convertible Murano was "What

in the heck is Nissan thinking?" Pho-tos don't really do the unusual Cross-Cabriolet justice - it's better lookingwhen viewed in person.

In fact, once you've experienceddriving and riding in it, the realizationsets in that it actually overcomes thetraditional limitations of a conven-tional convertible such as limitedtrunk space, a cramped back seat anda lack of flexibility and versatility foreveryday use. Ultimately, the MuranoCrossCabriolet reinvents the open-airversatility issue and encourages peo-ple to rethink what a convertible canbecome.

Trunk capacity with the top up is12.3 cubic feet, and 7.6 cubic feet

when the top is stowed; cabinspace storage is plentiful.Acceleration is more than

adequate and handling char-acteristics are sporty.The suspension is on the

firm side, yet not to the pointof stiffness.The CVT transmission shifts

smoothly, but tends to allow the ve-hicle to roll back on an incline whenletting off the brake, which may beoffset by left foot braking.

Nissan owes its success to think-ing outside the box.The Murano CrossCabriolet could

prove to be a big success, especiallyfor open-air motoring fans who havethe need for more functionality thanconventional convertibles provide.

BONUS WHEELSBY ARV VOSS, Motor Matters

The 2100 Nissan MuranoCrossCabriolet representsinnovation without limits.
