CITRUS SPRINGS — If the size ofthe scar determined the scope of itsimpact on a person’s life, then theone on Jerry Husfelt’s lower backshouldn’t even be worth mentioning.

Just four inches, pale white, andafter 14 years, hardly noticeable.

But a back injury and subsequentsurgery left him with a permanentfour-inch reminder that sometimesthe plans we make can be inter-rupted and forever altered in an instant.

“All I ever wanted to be was a cop,ever since I was a kid,” said 40-year-old Husfelt from his home in CitrusSprings. “I had friends whose dadswere cops, and my first father-in-law was with the Philly highway pa-trol. He bought my gun for me.”

At 18, his plans to go into law en-forcement took a slight detour whenhis son was born and he and his firstwife got married. He needed to workto support his new family and trainedas a certified nursing assistant.

He went to work at a nursinghome facility in Inverness, alongwith his wife and both of his parents.

But he still wanted to be a cop.When he was able to swing it,

while continuing his day job, Husfeltenrolled in the law enforcementacademy at Withlacoochee TechnicalInstitute, putting in the long hoursand graduating proudly in 1994.

After putting in applicationswherever he could, one day he got acall from the Crystal River PoliceDepartment offering him a position.He was ecstatic. He was finallygoing to do what he had dreamed of

Small scar, big change in life story


Jerry Husfielt was young and strong, working his way through the police acad-emy and hoping to follow the career he was sure was his calling. His lifechanged in a fraction of a second when he slipped and fell, injuring his lowerback while working at a nursing home. After surgery, he was not able to re-turn to the academy — casting his life in a whole new direction.

CHARLESTON, S.C. —While most Americans arefamiliar with the Under-ground Railroad thathelped Southern slaves es-cape north before the CivilWar, the first clandestinepath to freedom ran formore than a century in theopposite direction.

Stories of that lesser-known “railroad” will beshared June 20 to 24 at theNational UndergroundRailroad Conference in St.Augustine, Fla. The networkof sympathizers gave refugeto those fleeing their mas-ters, including many Ameri-can Indians who helpedslaves escape to what wasthen the Spanish territory ofFlorida. That lasted fromshortly after the founding ofCarolina Colony in 1670 toafter the American Revolution.

They escaped not only tothe South but to Mexico, theCaribbean and the Ameri-can West.

And the “railroad” helpsto explain at least in partwhy the lasting culture ofslave descendants — knownas Gullah in South Carolinaand Geechee in Florida andGeorgia — exists along thenortheastern Florida coast.

“It’s a fascinating storyand most people in Americaare stuck — they are eitherstuck on 1964 and the CivilRights Act or they are stuckon the Civil War,” saidDerek Hankerson, who is aGullah descendant and asmall business owner in St.Augustine. “We have beenhankering to share thesestories.”

Because there are fewrecords, it’s unknown howmany African slaves mayhave escaped along the rail-road. But the dream of free-dom in Florida did play arole in the 1739 Stono Re-bellion outside Charleston,

the largest slave revolt inBritish North America.

Slaves likely started flee-ing toward Florida whenSouth Carolina was estab-lished in 1670, said JaneLanders, a Vanderbilt Uni-versity historian who has re-searched the subjectextensively. The first men-tion of escaped slaves inSpanish records was in 1687when eight slaves, includinga nursing baby, showed upin St. Augustine.

Spain refused to returnthem and instead gave themreligious sanctuary, and thatpolicy was formalized in1693. The only condition isthose seeking sanctuaryconvert to Catholicism.

“It was a total shift in thegeopolitics of the Caribbeanand after that anyone wholeaves a Protestant area torequest sanctuary gets it,”Landers said.

That promise of freedomplayed an important role inthe Stono Rebellion, when agroup of about 20 slavesraided a store, collectingguns and other weapons, inSeptember 1739.

Mark Smith, a historian atthe University of South Car-olina, said the slave leaderswere from what is now An-gola in Africa. They wereCatholic, because theirhomeland was at the time aPortuguese outpost. Andthey are thought to havebeen soldiers in their nativeland.

They would have knownabout the rumor of freedomin Spanish Florida and de-cided to start the revoltSept. 9, the Feast of the Na-tivity of the Blessed VirginMary.

“They have a white flag,which is not a flag of surren-der. It’s a flag of celebratingMary, and they shout ‘Lib-erty.’ They are not revoltingjust as slaves, but asCatholic slaves,” Smith said.

At least 20 whites werekilled in the rebellion. Themilitia later caught up withthe slaves and 34 of themwere killed. Some who es-caped were found and exe-cuted later, although someapparently made it to safetyin Florida because thereare reports of more slavesarriving in St. Augustine inthe ensuing days, Landerssaid.

Gullah creole is still spo-ken in churches in north-eastern Florida, Landerssaid.

Hankerson, who grew upwith stories of the Under-ground Railroad, said es-caped slaves got help fromAmerican Indian tribes in-cluding the Creeks, theCherokees and theYemassee. They also ad-vanced deeper into Floridaand found refuge with theSeminoles.

Except for about 20 yearswhen the British held St.Augustine between the endof the French and IndianWar and the end of theAmerican Revolution, theSpanish policy of sanctuaryremained in effect until1790 when Secretary of

State Thomas Jefferson con-vinced the Spanish crown toend it. Many runaways es-caped amid the chaos andviolence of the revolution,and keeping that corridoropen could have drainedthe Southern colonies ofslaves, Landers said.

Unlike the UndergroundRailroad going north, theearly network was more in-formal: Neither the slavesnor the indigenous tribeswho helped them left writ-ten records, and there wasno church structure like theQuakers organizing the ef-

fort, Landers said. It’s un-known exactly how manystayed among the AmericanIndians or how many died.

The British saw slaves asproperty and labor for theirplantations and offered re-wards for their return.

By contrast, Landers said,“the Spanish believe the in-digenous people andAfricans could be convertedand as such were humansand had families and soulsto save.”

Sharpton plans rallyfor black teen slain

SANFORD — The Rev. AlSharpton is planning a rally fora black Florida teenager fatallyshot by a white neighborhoodwatch volunteer.

Sharpton will hold the rally

Thursday at the First ShilohBaptist Church in Sanford.

No charges have been filedin the February death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in agated community near Orlando.

Martin’s family has criticizedpolice for not arresting 28-year-old George Zimmerman, whoadmitted to shooting the teenbut said he fired in self-defense.

Zimmerman had called po-lice to report a suspicious per-son walking through theneighborhood.

The teen had gone to a con-venience store for candy. Mar-tin’s family said 911 calls showthe teen was terrified as hetried to flee Zimmerman.

Igot pain, you gotpain, we all got pain— pain at the pump.

With gas prices risingdaily, it’s a pain that’snot going to go away anytime soon, and com-plaining and throwing ahissy fit won’t changeanything. (I’ve tried.)

Thanks to a visit withMike Baker, servicemanager at NickNicholas Ford, and anice lady on the phoneat AAA, I learned somethings that might bring some gaspain relief.

■ Control your right foot. Bakersaid a driver’s right foot is thebiggest contributor to poor fueleconomy.

“How you drive will affect itmore than anything else,” he said.

He said anything over 55 or 60miles per hour drops fuel economy,

so watch your speed.Also, using cruise con-trol, while convenient,uses steady accelera-tion on the gas pedal.

“Without it, you canback your foot off thegas pedal,” he said.

■ Lighten your load.If you don’t need it,don’t haul it.

Don’t keep a bunch ofbricks or books in yourtrunk or use your car asa storage locker. Themore weight you carry,

the more fuel the vehicle uses.Also, Baker said, things like

mud flaps or anything thatchanges the aerodynamics of thevehicle and causes drag will causethe gas gauge to go down morequickly.

■ Maintenance 101: Don’t neg-lect it.

I told Baker I really, really hated

paying for things like fuel and airfilters because if you can’t wear,drink or eat it, what fun is that? Hesaid, “Yes, but,” and then explainedwithout proper maintenance Iwould end up spending even moreat the pump and in repair bills.

He added keeping tire pressureconsistent will help with fuel efficiency.

Rita Armstrong, the nice lady atAAA, said to check your brakes. Ifthey’re not properly adjusted, theycan create drag, which wastes gas.

■ Gas with ethanol — good forcorn growers, bad for car owners.

“The biggest problem is thequality of the fuel they’re selling isnot good, regardless of the price,”Baker said. “The ethanol that’s inthe fuel doesn’t burn as well asgasoline, so it leaves deposits andgives you poor fuel economy.”

To counterbalance it, there areadditives you can add to your gastank, either at the pump (like at

Wal-Mart when the music goes“do-do-do-do” and a voice asks ifyou want to get better gas mileagepress here), or you can buy a bottleof it at an auto parts store.

“It adds to your fuel expense,but it improves the fuel quality,”Baker said.

There are a few gas stations inthe county that sell fuel withoutethanol, but it costs more.

■ Don’t pump when hot. Thisdoesn’t refer to your temper, butthe outside temperature, Arm-strong said.

“Try not to fill your tank at thehottest point of the day,” she said.“Cooler temperatures keep gaso-line at its densest state, giving youmore gas for your money.”

She added, “Consider the ‘half-empty’ mark on your gas gauge as‘empty.’ The emptier the tank, themore it expands and the more gasyou’ll need to fill it.”

Plus, it won’t hurt as much to

pay $20 rather than $40 or $50. Also, many stations charge less

if you pay cash than if you use acredit or debit card, but that usu-ally requires that you pay first. Aswith everything, you pay extra forconvenience.

■ Eat more fish (or chicken orbread or cheese).

We like to buy fish from Harry inthe seafood department at Winn-Dixie in Inverness, and whilethere on a recent visit I was intro-duced to Winn-Dixie’s “fu-elperks!” feature on the store’scustomer reward card. For every$50 spent, you can save 5 cents ormore per gallon (maximum of 20gallons) at Shell.

CRYSTAL RIVER — RyanLampasona doesn’t do the workhe does for ShelterBox USA to berecognized.

But the Crystal River StateFarm insurance agent can’t helpbut be proud and thankful for re-cently receiving a President’sVolunteer Service Award for hiswork with ShelterBox.

“It was nice. Nice recognition,”he said Friday.

Lampasona is a member of theShelterBox Response Team(SRT), a highly trained group ofvolunteers who deliver on-the-ground aid to survivors of naturaland other disasters around theworld.

ShelterBox teams try to enteran affected area to distributeboxes within 48 to 72 hours of thedisaster. A ShelterBox provides a10-person tent, mosquito nets,cooking utensils, a tool kit, ther-mal blankets, waterproof pon-chos and bin bags, a stove,collapsible water containers,water purification tablets and achildren’s supply kit.

Last year, Lampasona traveledto the Eastern Horn of Africa, aregion that was experiencing theworst drought it had seen in 60years. Millions of families hadbeen affected by massive waterand food shortages, the droughtand ongoing conflict in war-tornSomalia, which caused many toflee their homes and relocate torefugee camps in Kenya andEthiopia.

Lampasona spent his days set-ting up tents in Dadaab, Kenya,the location of one of the largestrefugee camps in the world.

In addition to responding whendisaster strikes, Lampasonaspends a great deal of time rais-ing awareness and funds forShelterBox.

“It’s as important as being onthe front lines,” he said.

Through Lampasona’s efforts,the organization provided morethan 17,600 ShelterBoxes to fam-ilies throughout the world in2011. Areas were affected by thetornadoes in the southern UnitedStates, drought and famine inEast Africa, widespread floodingin the Philippines and subse-quent earthquakes in Turkey, ac-cording to a news release.

Lampasona said donationskept ShelterBox alive. During theslow storm season, he said he hasshared stories and spoken to var-ious groups and organizations

about the importance of the Shel-terBox organization.

All the while, he remains oncall to respond anytime a majorcatastrophic event happens inthe world that calls for disasterrelief.

“I am truly proud to honor ourvolunteers, who work hard year-round to support ShelterBox andour efforts to help families re-

build their lives across theglobe,” said Emily Sperling, Shel-terBox USA president. “It’s be-cause of the continuous efforts ofour volunteers such as Ryan thatwe are able to help so many vul-nerable families each year.”

The President’s Volunteer Serv-ice Award is part of a nationalrecognition program created in2003 for individuals of all ages who

contribute a significant amount oftime to volunteer activities.

Donations to ShelterBox USAcan be made at www.shelterboxusa.org, 941-907-6036 or viatext message by sending SHEL-TER to 20222 for a one-time $10donation.

HOW YOUR LAWMAKERS VOTEDKey votes for the week ending: March 16

By Voterama in Congress■ $109 Billion for Transportation: Senators voted, 74-

22, to authorize federally funded road, bridge, high-way-safety and transit programs through September2013 on a budget of $109 billion that would maintaincurrent funding levels. A yes vote was to pass S 1813,which awaits House action. Bill Nelson, Yes; MarcoRubio, No.

■ Natural Gas Vehicles: Senators failed, 51-47, to get 60votes for amending S 1813 (above) to include tax cred-its to spur widespread use of vehicles running onAmerica's vast supply of natural gas. A yes vote backedthe tax credits over arguments they would interferewith free-market forces. Nelson, Yes; Rubio, No.

■ Devolution to States: Senators defeated, 30-67, a bidto devolve most federal transportation programs tothe states. A yes vote backed an amendment to S1813 (above) that would allow states to set their ownhighway and transit policies and retain the funds theygenerate from the federal gasoline tax. Nelson, No;Rubio, Yes.

■ Stores on Interstate Highways: Senators refused, 12-86, to allow states to provide food and shopping atrest stops on interstate highways, which would end anearly 60-year ban on such activities. A yes votebacked the amendment to S 1813 over arguments itcould devastate businesses situated near inter-changes. Nelson, No; Rubio, No.

Later, she learned some-one pulling a trailer hadtried to pass in traffic, andwhen he realized he could-n’t, as he pulled back in, thetrailer fishtailed and theGauses’ car was hit head-on.

“I woke up three and ahalf weeks later in a hospi-tal in Charleston,” Mrs.Gause said.

■ ■ ■If you’ve been to Ocala,

you’ve seen the Gausename on billboards. Thefamily has owned Gauseand Son Jewelers in Ocalafor 60 years. Rodney Gauseworked with his cousinJerry at the store in thePaddock Mall.

Peggy Gause worked as areceptionist at ProlineBoats and then for radiostations WTRS and WMFQin Ocala. She grew up inBrooksville. She and Rod-ney met at the communitycollege in Ocala and hadbeen married for 35 years.

When she woke up fromher coma, she asked abouther husband. He hadmoved his finger. He hadgiven her their signal thateverything was OK.

She had broken bonesand lacerations, wounds allover her body. She had sur-gery on her shoulder, a rodin her upper left arm. Herleft leg looks like someonetook a red marker and drewjagged lines willy nilly.

When she woke up, herdaughter, Sara, was there— but not her husband andnot Elizabeth. Rodney haddied at the scene and herdaughter the next day.

Bella had suffered onlyminor injuries.

■ ■ ■For months and months,

Peggy Gause has concen-trated on learning how towalk again. She spent her60th birthday in a rehabcenter in Brooksville. Herscars are still red, butthey’re healing.

John Travolta and hiswife Kelly sent her a hugebouquet of flowers. Oldhigh school classmatesfrom Hernando HighSchool and cousins fromBrooksville came to see herdaily.

“Now it’s more the emo-tional scars that I’m work-ing on,” she said. “When Iwas in rehab, I was busy; Ididn’t have time to thinkabout the other stuff. Now Ido. I had to go through allthe firsts without them —his birthday (Aug. 4),Thanksgiving, Christmas.”

Of losing a husband and achild together, she said shethinks about them daily,grieving for them separately.Losing a spouse is differentfrom losing a child.

“My sister in Oregon,she’s a widow too. ‘Widow’— it’s a strange word to getused to,” she said. “My sis-ter’s coming back toFlorida and we’re getting aduplex together here inHomosassa.

“On Sunday, I was pack-ing some things from thehouse and I didn’t think itwould bother me, but thenI saw one of my husband’sfavorite coffee mugs ... Eliz-abeth was filling her hopechest and I saw some ofthat stuff and it really got tome,” she said.

Gause is realizing thatsometimes when you toucha scar, the memory of thepain from the original in-jury returns. It hasn’t evenbeen a year and it still hurts.

“It’s getting better,” shesaid. “It is.”

She said she copes bytaking one day at a time.

“I know that’s an oldcliché, but it works for me,”she said. “I can’t go into thefuture.”

She reads a lot to keepher mind occupied. Hersister told her moving in to-gether will be a “new ad-venture” for them.

“That’s how I’m lookingat it,” she said. “I need tosee it that way to move on.”

■ ■ ■Only 10 months since the

accident, it’s too soon toknow how Gause’s scarswill heal, although all scarsdo eventually heal. She’safraid to drive, and shesometimes catches hermind wandering into “ifonly.” At Cracker Barrel,they always looked throughthe country store for a fewminutes after they ate, butthey didn’t this one time. Ifonly they had, things wouldbe so different.

“We were just 20 minutesaway,” she said. “But if Ikeep thinking like that, I’dgo crazy.”

shampooed it — and thenonto tile.

His feet flew up and overhis head as he landed on hisupper back.

“I know this sounds crazy,but my wife wouldn’t let mesee a doctor,” he said.

At the time, he was alsohaving some personal problems.

“I had to call CrystalRiver PD and tell them Icouldn’t accept the job,which crushed me,” he said.

Two years enduring thepain passed, until finally inMay 1998 Husfelt saw a doc-tor and was scheduled forsurgery.

“When I had surgery, Iknew being a cop wasn’tgoing to happen for me,” hesaid. “My (law enforcement)certification was about torun out.”

After he recovered —physically — he returned towork only to fall — again —delivering a breakfast tray— again — on a wet floor —again.

“This time they took meout by ambulance,” he said.

He got depressed and ate;his weight ballooned.

“To realize you’re notgoing to do somethingyou’ve always wanted to dofor so long is really crush-ing,” he said. “My life is stillnot on track; it’s not the wayI want it.”

His marriage broke up,but he met Tina, his currentwife, with whom he’s happy— happy with his marriage,but not with his career.

After his falls, Husfelt gota $10,000 settlement, butthat didn’t last long. Now heworks from home, tele-phone sales. He’s a likeableguy, a sunny disposition,talkative and personable.

He can put on the show,but there’s a four-inch scaron his back that keeps re-minding him of what he al-most had and won’t evergrasp.

“I’ve still got the mindset

of a cop,” he said.He still has his handcuffs,

police baton and flashlight.He’s observant and ready tocall the sheriff ’s officewhenever he sees law violations.

He loves watching showslike “CSI.” He’s always find-ing ways to “channel his po-liceness,” but it’s not thereal thing.

“I’d even like a desk jobor as dispatch,” he said.

He keeps putting in hisapplication, hoping for anopening.

“I’ve even thought aboutvolunteering with CrimeWatch — anything to dosomething,” he said. “I’mjust trying to make endsmeet right now, and it’s notworking.

“Life ain’t the way Iwanted it to be,” he said.“When the job’s not whatyou want to do, it’s hard tokeep doing it.”

WASHINGTON — Here’s a thought thatcan’t comfort President Barack Obama:The fate of his health care overhaul restswith four Republican-appointed SupremeCourt justices.

His most sweeping domestic achieve-ment could be struck down if they stand to-gether with Justice Clarence Thomas,another GOP appointee who is the likeli-est vote against.

But the good news for Obama is he prob-ably needs only one of the four to side withhim to win approval of the law’s crucialcenterpiece, the requirement that almosteveryone in this country has insurance orpays a penalty.

Lawyers with opposing views of the issueuniformly agree the four Democratic-ap-pointed justices, including Obama’s twopicks, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor,will have no trouble concluding that Con-gress did not overstep its authority inadopting the insurance requirementaimed at sharply reducing the now 50 mil-lion people without insurance.

On the other side, Thomas has madeclear in several cases he does not take anexpansive view of Congress’ powers.

Both the Obama administration and thehealth care law’s challengers believe theycan attract the other four Republicans totheir side. The group includes Chief Jus-tice John Roberts and Justice SamuelAlito, the two appointees of PresidentGeorge W. Bush who have swung the courtto the right in a number of areas; conser-vative stalwart Antonin Scalia; and theless doctrinaire Anthony Kennedy.

There is no consensus in the legal andacademic worlds which way the court willgo or even how each of those four justiceswill vote. The court has set aside six hoursover three days, beginning March 26, tohear arguments.

But a legal challenge, once seen as im-probable at best, now has everyone’s at-tention, partly because the justices find itweighty enough to devote six hours overthree days to hearing the case. That’s themost time for any issue in more than 45years.

“Arguments that once seemed out-landish don’t seem quite so outlandishanymore,” said University of Michigan lawprofessor Nicholas Bagley, a health lawexpert who says the law should be upheld.

The fight over the law has played out instarkly partisan terms. It passed Congresswithout a Republican vote. All the GOPpresidential candidates have called for itsrepeal.

Some supporters of the law worry aboutthe high court’s decision because a simi-

lar partisan split, with a few important ex-ceptions, has emerged in the lower courts.

“I think as a constitutional matter, thisshould be an easy case,” said ErwinChemerinsky, a liberal scholar and dean ofthe law school at the University of Califor-nia, Irvine. “But every judge appointed bya Republican president, with two excep-tions, has voted to strike the law down.And every judge appointed by a Demo-cratic president, with one exception, hasvoted to uphold the law. Thus, the realissue is whether the Republican-appointed justices will overcome ideologyand vote to uphold the law.”

Among lawyers who appear regularlybefore the Supreme Court, Carter Phillipsof Sidley Austin LLP offered a fairly typi-cal response in predicting the court ismore likely to uphold the law than strike itdown. But he was far from certain.

“I have no doubt that if the court strikesdown the statute, it will be 5-4,” Phillipssaid. “But if the court upholds the statute, itwould not shock me if the decision turnedout not to be 5-4. I would be somewhat sur-prised if Justices Thomas and Scalia bothdid not vote to strike down the law, but Icertainly believe that Justice Alito and thechief” could vote to sustain it.

In the view of Phillips and otherlawyers, Kennedy is the most likely Re-publican to vote in favor of the law. Heoften provides the decisive vote in casesthat divide the court by ideology.

But his record in cases involving Con-gress’ constitutional power to regulatecommerce offers both sides some hope.Kennedy was part of the majority thatstruck down a federal law prohibiting peo-ple from carrying guns in or near schools.That 1995 ruling was the first time sincethe New Deal that the court limited Con-gress’ power under the Commerce Clause.

The 26 states and private parties chal-lenging the health care law peppered theirbriefs with references to Kennedy’s writ-ing in the guns case and another decision,from 2010, in which he took a narrowerview than the majority of Congress’ powerto act in an area not spelled out in the Con-stitution. The court upheld Congress’ au-thority to continue to hold inmatesconsidered “sexually dangerous” evenafter they completed their prison terms.

At the same time, however, Kennedysaid in a concurring opinion in the gunscase, “Congress can regulate in the com-mercial sphere on the assumption that wehave a single market and a unified pur-pose to build a stable national economy.”The Obama administration says Kennedycould have been describing health care,which makes up 17 percent of the U.S.economy.

4 GOP-appointed justicescontrol health law’s fate

Associated Press

In this Oct. 8, 2010, file photo U.S. Supreme Court justices pose for a photo at theSupreme Court in Washington. Four Republican-appointed justices — front row from left,Antonin Scalia, Chief Justice John Roberts, Anthony M. Kennedy and top right, SamuelAlito Jr. — control the fate of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. At top leftis Justice Stephen Breyer.

volunteer, said it was not un-usual for him to disappearfor a couple of days, but verystrange for him to “just notshow up.” This had Parkerand other volunteers ex-tremely worried.

They worked numeroushours searching CitrusCounty, putting up missingperson posters and worry-ing more as each day passedby.

On Thursday, March 1,Juan Santiago, a detectivewith the Citrus County Sher-iff ’s Office, electronicallysent out a missing personflier to other police forces.

Santiago said Williamswas found in a park by theTallahassee Police Depart-ment within 24 hours afterposting the alert.

Parker said she was over-joyed when she got the callon March 2 from Santiago,saying Williams was aliveand in Tallahassee.

She and her husband,Bill, wasted no time. Theyjumped in their truck andheaded straight there, allthe while not knowing ifWilliams would be willing tocome back, she said.

They found Williamsstanding in line waiting toget dinner at the Grace Mis-sion Episcopal Church,which provides assistanceto the homeless.

“I jumped out of the vehi-cle and ran over to him,hugged him, and thenslapped his arm, (andasked) where have youbeen?” she said. “Hereplied, ‘here.’

“Don’t you ever do thisagain,” she said describingthe situation somewhat likescolding a lost child afterfinding him in the grocerystore. “We were worriedsick.”

“I don’t think she eventook a breath when she gotto me,” Williams said.

She said she kindly ex-plained to him how muchthe people at the missionloved and needed him.

“She didn’t ask me if I wascoming home,” Williamssaid. “She said ‘get in thetruck, you’re coming home!”

She said Williams reluc-tantly gave in and agreed toreturn to Citrus County, butnot before helping withbreakfast the next day at theGrace Mission, because hehad promised.

“There was no way any-one could prevent him fromfulfilling a promise,” shesaid. “I told him that was noproblem, and we wouldcome back in the morning at8 a.m. We actually cameback at 7 a.m. because I did-n’t want to risk missinghim.”

The next morning theyfound Williams cutting cel-ery and onions at the mis-sion. When he saw theParkers, he dropped thevegetables, grabbed hisbackpack and headed to thedoor ready to head for homewith the couple.

Williams said the reasonhe went to Grace Missionwas to check on Pastor Mikeat the church who recentlyunderwent surgery to installan artificial cardiac pace-maker. Williams was wor-

ried about him and knewhim from time he spent vol-unteering at the mission inthe past.

He said Pastor Mikemeant a great deal to him,so much that he road his bi-cycle all the way to Talla-hassee to see him.

“I figure it was only a cou-ple of days anyway,”Williams said. “I didn’t thinkanyone would miss me, notthat bad. They had my pic-ture plastered all over theplace, all over CitrusCounty, stores restaurants,everything.”

Williams vowed that thenext time he decides toleave he would let someoneknow.

“I will write it in the sky,”he said. “It’s good to beback. I mean look at all thefamily here.”

“It’s pretty clear that Den-nis would have been fine upin Tallahassee,” Parkeradded. “But the truth is weat the center would not havebeen.”

GeneralizationsWe Americans generalize

about cultures we know lit-tle about, because we arelazy about drilling downinto each one. “Euro-peans,” “Africans,”“Asians,” as examples.

“Arabs” are lumped intoone pigeonhole, which is,as you know, a very big mis-take, and leads to all kindsof trouble.

There is no all-inclusive“Arab spring;” they are amyriad of rebellionsagainst established totali-tarian rulers, many histori-cally aided and abetted bythe West, who will now beblamed, often unjustly, forany and all ills that particu-lar society has suffered.

Religious fanaticism isoften used to replace theold guard, as it justifies op-pression in the name of ahigher and unquestionablepower.

Inevitably and unfortu-nately, the self-proclaimed“representatives” of thedeity are human, and theirtyranny will be no less op-pressive than the previoussecular one.

Some dominant reli-gions, historically, havebeen responsible for in-credible inhumanity, in thepursuit of religious purity.

I am not a religiousscholar, so my referencepoints are limited to theRoman Catholic and Mus-lim religions.

Our Constitution, whichforbids a state or state-sponsored religion, hasworked marvelously for 235years, but the human pen-chant for power and con-trol over others hasallowed the incubation ofquasi-religions, with thesame purpose. “Environ-mentalism,” “global warm-ing,” “fairness,” “socialjustice,” “diversity,” “theplanet,” and from theFrench, “equality.”

Do we not resemble theancient Romans, who cre-ated many deities, eachwith his/her own agenda,and their respectivehuman shills? Seems likethat failed miserably!

There also seems to be

an eerie if more “civilized”similarity between theevents in the Roman coli-seum, and our own “foot-ball” or world “soccer.” TheOlympics still go on ... towhat social purpose?

Welfare and food stampsinstead of “bread” or “cake”as Marie Antoinette calledit. Now we have the new andever changing “humanrights” subjectively decidedon by the governing elites,but always at a cost to theproducers in any society.

Santorum unitesIn response to “Santo-

rum divisive” publishedFeb. 20, I am reminded ofsome obvious observations:

1. The “something in theair that only affects Republi-cans” is called the GOP pri-mary, when conservativesrally around the candidatewho best represents theirprinciples on both characterand policy issues. That can-didate has consistently beenRick Santorum, as Col-orado, Minnesota and Mis-souri voters recognized.Santorum’s positions on so-cial issues are not peculiarto the Catholic Church, butare those shared by anyonewho advocates family, lifeand basic morality. An irra-tional bigotry against peopleof faith is what lies behindthese attacks on Santorum.

2. The assertion Santo-rum did not have a “single”proposal that helped Amer-ican jobs is true. He hadseveral proposals, includ-ing the first real removal ofa federal entitlement pro-gram under the WelfareReform Act of 1996, whichSantorum authored andshepherded through theSenate. As welfare rolls fell67 percent nationally, mil-lions of people obtainedjob training, went to workand learned to cherish per-sonal accountability. Heunderstands a governmentbusy spending our moneyand regulating our free-doms must be rolled back.That is something withwhich all Americans canagree.

3. The criticisms of Santo-rum on evolution, globalwarming, gay rights, abor-tion and war are patentlyabsurd. It is the height of ig-norance to argue that mat-ter invented intelligence.Likewise, it is the height ofarrogance to claim humanscontrol global climate pat-terns. Santorum under-stands the military is aboutnational defense, notboyfriends and girlfriends.Santorum also understandssociety propagates itselfthrough healthy marriagesbetween a man and awoman, as centuries ofhuman experience know tobe true. Santorum cher-ishes life enough to endorse

adoption, not abortion, andthe death penalty for thoseconvicted of depriving lifefrom someone else. If any-one has made war a highpriority, it is Iran, whosecommitment to wipe Israelout of existence and wagejihad against the West is athreat dismissed at ourperil. Santorum stands be-side the rest of us rightly de-termined to avoid a nuclearSept. 11.

Law lacks faithDonald Holcomb, Chroni-

cle, Feb. 15, appears to holdthe increasingly prevalentalbeit misguided notion thatliberals are not moral, reli-gious or Christian. Chris-tians, I believe, could takeumbrage with the statementthat the Bible defines moralvalues in just about everychapter of every book.

Many Christians todayunderstand morality hasprogressed since the Biblewas written. For instance,most Christians would notconsider the ownership ofanother person moral, oraccept polygamy as moral.

However, I would have toargue Christians and con-servatives do not hold amonopoly on morality.Many people regardless of

religious or political beliefsor lack thereof have inter-nalized a moral compassthat enables them to liveexemplary lives.

The paranoia that Christi-anity is under attack hasbeen ramped up for politi-cal purposes. Putting asidethe fact that not all of thefounders of this countrywere Christian, there is lit-tle doubt Christian philoso-phy has influencedEuropean thought for gener-ations. Therefore, one couldconcede the architects ofthe Declaration of Inde-pendence and the U.S. Con-stitution were well-versedin Christian doctrine.

Therefore, it is interest-ing to note there is no faith-based language in theConstitution. This couldonly have been a deliberatedecision. It is also logical toconcede the founders werewell aware of the bloodyreligious wars that ragedacross Europe for genera-tions. Wisely, the foundersdeliberately did not estab-lish a theocracy but ademocracy where we allhave the right of conscience.

Presently, Christians andeveryone else are able tofreely practice their beliefs.And this freedom is not de-pendant on the personal re-ligious beliefs of those inpower. The religious rightis engaged in trying toembed their definition of

morality into civil law. As Donald quotes the

Constitution, “the govern-ment shall make no law re-specting an establishmentof religion...” What part ofthe government not estab-lishing a religion doesn’t heunderstand?

Beware BarneyIn response to Roger

Krieger about the speedtraps in Waldo, Lawtey andStark:

I moved to Palatka fromWinter Haven in 1949 andgrew up there. The speedtraps were well-knowneven as I was growing up,as they are today. I movedto Citrus County in 1968from Jacksonville and havetraveled Highway 301through these towns hun-dreds of times. The citycops seem to always tohave somebody pulled over,and it seems like they get alot of out-of-state people.Most recently was mydaughter, who was visitingfrom South Carolina.

People should take otherroutes and bypass thesetowns and don’t spend anymoney in these places. Butif you do decide to gothrough these towns, be-ware of Barney Fife!

Pie in Port Citrus skyLately, we have been treated

to constant stories of how won-derful things will be when theFlorida Barge Canal becomesPort Citrus. Although the con-cept changes constantly, the beatgoes on. One of our commission-ers is quoted as saying, “It willbring thousands of jobs to CitrusCounty.”

Early on, there was the talkabout how the expansion of thePanama Canal was going to floodthe Gulf of Mexico with lots ofshipping so there would be acrying need for all the ports thatcould be built.

Remembering a chart of localwaters, it seemed to me that thispart of the Gulf is too shallow tosupport a maritime port. It stilldoes.

Clearly, the idea of huge con-tainer ships entering the 12-foot-deep barge canal was untenable.The next fantasy was an offshoretrans-shipment location, 60miles out where the water isdeeper. The ships would transfertheir loads to barges, whichwould then carry tons of freightto Port Citrus.

Joe Meek later commented fa-vorably on a speech given by alawyer promoting Port Citrus.However, he admitted the trans-shipment concept touted by thelawyer was passé. Essentially, theconclusion was glorious, but thereasoning behind it irrelevant.

I tried to find out if any simi-larly shallow-water port had cre-ated a booming economy. Aboutthe nearest thing to Port Citrusseemed to be Port St. Joe. So Itook a look at that port.

The first article reported amarginal port operation based

on some local industries. It alsomentioned Port St. Joe has a 35-foot-deep channel, is located ona major highway and has accessto a good railroad net. Beyondthat, it is also on an IntracoastalWaterway.

The article was somewhat be-hind the times. With the collapseof the industries, the port has be-come inactive. The local authori-ties are trying to resurrect it.

I wish them luck. Certainly,their chances look better thanours.

Cut foreign aidI have been reading and hear-

ing many options on how to cutthe federal budget.

Many of our citizens remem-ber when it became necessary to(steal) borrow money from SocialSecurity and put it in a generalfund. To this day, it has neverbeen replaced. (We have IOUs.)

That’s hard-earned moneyfrom hardworking people whotoday are without jobs mainlybecause of our hardworking leg-islators dealing with lobbyists tofulfill their greed.

How do they want to cut thebudget? Simple: Cut Social Secu-rity, Medicare, Medicaid, defense,the space program and so forth.

Has anyone ever heard of ourlegislators, ever once, mention-ing cutting foreign aid? We prob-ably send millions — no, billions— to countries that are notfriendly toward us.

Think of what could be donein our own country with a fewbillion dollars every so often.

We could start to revolutionizerefineries in order to convertmore oil to gas and free our-selves from foreign oil.

Build cruise ships, locomo-tives. Rebuild our infrastruc-ture, bridges, roads and putthousands of people to work.

Recently Congress voted in theSocial Security payroll tax. Real-ize more money in people’s pock-ets means less money for SocialSecurity. It’s depleting Social Se-curity of more money everyweek. Not really a good idea.

We need a big change in Con-gress to bring our country backto where it was!

Anthony D’AdamoBeverly Hills

They do not seeyou. For everyblack American,

it comes as surely ashard times, setbackand tears, that momentwhen you realizesomebody is lookingright at you and yet,not seeing you — as ifyou had become cello-phane, as if you hadbecome air, as if some-how, some way, youwere right there andyet at the same time, not.

Ralph Ellison described thatphenomenon in a milestonenovel that begins as follows: “Iam an invisible man. No, I am nota spook like those who hauntedEdgar Allan Poe. Nor am I one ofyour Hollywood-movie ecto-plasms. I am a man of substance,of flesh and bone, fiber and liq-uids — and I might even be saidto possess a mind. I am invisible,understand, simply because peo-ple refuse to see me.”

Trayvon Martin was killed onFeb. 26 in Sanford, fully 60 yearsafter Ellison published “InvisibleMan.” The circumstances of theunarmed 17-year-old’s death sug-gest even six decades later, invis-ibility plagues black folks, still.

It happened like this. He wasvisiting his father, watchinghoops on television. At halftime,he left his dad’s townhouse in agated community and walked to a7-Eleven for snacks. There was alight drizzle and he was wearing ahooded sweatshirt and jeans. Onthe way back, he drew the atten-tion of George Zimmerman, cap-

tain of the Neighbor-hood Watch. Zimmer-man, who is white,called police from hisSUV and told them hewas following a “suspi-cious” character. Thedispatcher promised tosend a prowl car andtold Zimmerman tostay in his vehicle.

He didn’t. When po-lice arrived, they foundhim with a bloody noseand Martin face down

on the grass not far from his fa-ther’s door, a gunshot wound inhis chest. Zimmerman said heshot the boy in self-defense. Po-lice did not arrest him. At thiswriting, nearly three weeks later,they still have not, citing insuffi-cient evidence. The case has beenreferred to the state’s attorneyand the NAACP has asked theJustice Department to intervene.

All of which raises a number ofpressing questions:

How can you get out of yourtruck against police advice, insti-gate a fight, get your nose blood-ied in said fight, shoot the personyou were fighting with, and claimself-defense? If anyone was de-fending themselves, wasn’t itTrayvon Martin?

Would police have been so for-bearing had Martin confrontedand killed an unarmed GeorgeZimmerman?

Of course, the most pressingquestion is this: What exactly wasit that made this boy seem “sus-picious?” The available evidencesuggests a sad and simple an-swer: He existed while black.

The manner of said existencedoesn’t matter. It is the existing it-self that is problematic. Again:Sometimes, they do not see you.

That’s one of the great frustra-tions of black life, those timeswhen you are standing rightthere, minding your business,tending your house, coming homefrom the store, and other peopleare looking right at you, yet do notsee you.

They see instead their own su-perstitions and suppositions,paranoia and guilt, night terrorsand vulnerabilities. They see theperpetrator, the suspect, the mugshot, the dark and scary face thatlurks at the open windows oftheir vivid imaginings. They seethe unknown, the unassimilable,the other.

They see every thing in theworld but you.

And their blindness costs you.First and foremost, it costs yoursacred individuality. But it mayalso cost you a job, an education,your freedom. If you are unluckylike Trayvon Martin, it may evencost your life.

He lay bloody and ruined inwet grass with nothing in hispockets but $22, a can of lemon-ade and a bag of Skittles, not atype, not a kind, but just himself,a kid who liked horses and sports,who struggled with chemistry,who went out for snacks andnever came home.

Visible too late.

SHARED BLAME

Feud takestoll on CMHSbond rating

Once again, a bond ratingcompany has down-graded Citrus Memorial

Health System, causing greatconcern over the damage beingdone to the repu-tation and finan-cial health of thecounty’s lone pub-lic hospital.

Although theCitrus MemorialHealth Founda-tion blames itsgovernance dis-pute with the Cit-rus CountyHospital Board asreason for the rating down-grade, Moody’s Investor Serv-ice also blames “pooroperating performance.”

Each side blames the otherfor the change in rating, but inactuality both sides have con-tributed to the deterioration ofthe hospital’s financial picture.

The Foundation, whichleases the hospital from the Cit-rus County Hospital Board andoversees day-to-day operations,has failed to make the toughdecisions necessary to improveits operating performance.Cash-on-hand days must be at acertain threshold to meet the

terms of two bank loans and ithas $39.4 million of rated debtoutstanding. The latest rating,Ba3, tells investors in the longterm the hospital runs the risk

of not being ableto meet its finan-cial obligations.

The CitrusCounty HospitalBoard carries itsfair share ofblame. It has with-held millions ofdollars it has col-lected from tax-payers for thehospital. This has

caused the outstanding debt tobe much higher than it need beand contributed to the poorrating.

Instead of working togetherto resolve the dispute and im-prove the hospital’s bond rat-ing, both entities have madematters worse with vitriolicrhetoric, lawsuits and countersuits.

We fear once the dispute isfully settled, the side that ulti-mately assumes the gover-nance of the hospital will facean insurmountable task of re-building its reputation and fi-nancial health.

LETTERS to the Editor

Your pension, moneyI’m calling about the state em-

ployees who don’t feel they shouldcontribute 3 percent to their pen-sion. Well, we also have peoplewho have money taken out oftheir pay for Social Security andas a former state employee, I alsocontributed to my pen-sion and it was far morethan 3 percent. And whenI worked under Social Se-curity, I also had moneydeducted for that. So Ithink it’s only fair peoplecontribute to their ownfuture security.

Also, on the subject ofthe birth control squab-ble that’s going on: Be-fore the pill was outthere, there were otherforms of birth control. One ofthem included self-control andthat would include abstinence.People might try that and theywould save a lot of money.

Cameras comingGet ready, people. If you don’t

like getting a red-light-cameraticket, wait when they start put-ting our cameras on our roadsand highways. Get ready. It’sgoing to happen. Just another wayour government can pull in mil-lions off our people who are suf-fering from our economy.

Commendable composurePresident Obama deserves

much credit for treating the Iransituation with diplomacy and seri-ous thought. His opponents seemanxious to start another war,whereas President Obama wantsto avoid another war.

Why change clocks?I was calling the “shout out” to

say, why are they changing theclocks? There is no farms aroundand the farmers don’t care any-more. So why don’t they just leavethe time the way it is? I think

everybody would appreciate it. Ilove your “shout outs.”

Defend the defenselessThis afternoon, a middle-aged

woman driving a white van turnedright by the old Hewitts’ StandardStation across from the Court-

house and nearly ran intome. It’s a very dangerousintersection and I am al-ways extremely cautiouswhen I must cross there.

I had the light, lookedin all directions, and onlybegan to cross when itwas safe.

Her anger and hatredwas unbelievable sinceI’ve never seen her be-fore, and her actionswere deliberate. Her van

was only a few inches from my legand left side. I am in my 60s and Ihave to use a wheelchair now.

I said, “I have the light. Youmust yield the right of way topedestrians and the handi-capped.” The driver crudely andviciously yelled, “Shut up or I willhit you,” and turned.

She threatened me. I couldn’tget her tag number. I don’t wantto — nor should I have to — tryto do what only a law enforce-ment officer is trained to do. It’ssad and appalling the elderly andhandicapped residents, who paytaxes, help others to continue towork and have the same rights aseveryone else does, are treatedso disgracefully and so cruellyhere.

The Americans With Disabili-ties Act gives them the rightsthey should be given with respectand compassion and shouldn’tneed a law to enforce. I’m askingthe good people of Citrus Countyto stand up and speak out tohelp and defend the elderly andhandicapped. Please spread theword we will prosecute any andevery bully who abuses one ofour own to the fullest extent ofthe law.

KABUL, Afghanistan —Charges against an Americansoldier accused of killing 16Afghan civilians are ex-pected to be filed within aweek and if the case goes tocourt the trial, it will be heldin the United States, said alegal expert with the U.S.military familiar with the investigation.

Army Staff Sgt. RobertBales is suspected of leavinga U.S. base in southern

Afghanistan, enter-ing homes and gun-ning down ninechildren, four menand three women be-fore dawn on March11. Bales, a 38-year-old married father oftwo from LakeTapps, Wash., isbeing held at a U.S.military prison inFort Leavenworth,Kansas.

The shootings have furtherstrained ties between theU.S. government and Presi-dent Hamid Karzai who hasaccused the U.S. military ofnot cooperating with a dele-gation he appointed to inves-tigate the killings in Panjwaidistrict of Kandaharprovince. The Afghan inves-

tigative team also isnot convinced thatone soldier couldhave single-handedlyleft his base, walkedto two villages, shotand killed 16 civiliansand set fire to some oftheir bodies.

Syed MohammadAzeen, a tribal elderfrom Balandi village,said Sunday in Kan-

dahar that he and other vil-lagers believe more than adozen soldiers were in-volved. Other villagers saidthey saw 16 to 20 U.S. troopsin the villages. It’s unclearwhether the soldiers the vil-lagers saw were part of asearch party that left thebase to look for Bales, whowas reported missing.

SEATTLE — With formal charges looming against hisclient within days, the lawyer for an Army sergeant sus-pected in the horrific nighttime slaughter of 16 Afghan vil-lagers was flying Sunday to Kansas and preparing for hisfirst face-to-face meeting with the 10-year veteran.

John Henry Browne of Seattle said he planned to meetMonday with Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, who is beingheld in an isolated cell at Fort Leavenworth’s military prison.

Bales, 38, hasn’t been charged in the March 11 shoot-ings, but formal charges are expected to be filed within aweek, said a legal expert with the U.S. military familiar withthe investigation.

That expert said charges were still being decided andthat the location for any trial had not yet been determined. Ifthe suspect is brought to trial, it is possible that Afghan wit-nesses and victims would be flown to the United States toparticipate, he said.

Some demonstratorslocked arms and sat downin the middle of ZuccottiPark near Wall Streetafter police announced ona bullhorn at 11:30 p.m.Saturday the park wasclosed. Officers thenpoured into the park, forc-ing most of the crowd outand surrounding a smallgroup that stayed behind.Police formed a humanring around the park tokeep protesters out.

Several people were ar-rested, police said. An un-used public transit buswas brought in to cartaway about a dozendemonstrators in plastichandcuffs. One femaleunder arrest had difficultybreathing and was takenaway in an ambulance tobe treated.

For hours, demonstra-tors had been chantingand holding impromptumeetings in the park tocelebrate the anniversaryof the movement that hasbrought attention to eco-nomic inequality, as policemainly kept their distance.

DHULIYAN, India — SagiraAnsari sits on a dusty sack outsideher uneven brick home in this poortown in eastern India, her legsfolded beneath her. She cracks herknuckles, then rubs charcoal ashbetween her palms.

With the unthinking swiftness ofa movement performed countlesstimes before, she slashes a nakedrazor blade into a square-cut leaf totrim off the veins. She drops inflakes of tobacco, packs them withher thumbs, rolls the leaf tightly be-tween her fingers and ties it off withtwo twists of a red thread.

For eight hours a day, Sagiramakes bidis — thin brown ciga-rettes that are as central to Indianlife as chai and flat bread.

She is 11 years old.Sagira is among hundreds of

thousands of children toiling in thehidden corners of rural India. Manywork in hazardous industries cru-cial to the economy: the fiery brickkilns that underpin the building in-dustry, the pesticide-laden fieldsthat produce its food.

Most of the children in Sagira’stown of Dhuliyan in West Bengalstate work in the tobacco dust tofeed India’s near limitless demandfor bidis.

Under Indian law, this is legal.Sagira, who has deep brown eyes

and a wide smile, joined her family’sbidi work when she was 7. At first shejust rolled out thread for her oldersisters and brother, then she helpedfinish off the cigarettes, pushingdown the open ends. Last year, shegraduated to full-scale rolling.

She is not alone. Her best friend,Amira, also rolls bidis. So doWasima and Jaminoor and the restof the girls in a neighborhood thatis, at its heart, a giant, open-air bidifactory.

Parents and children roll ciga-rettes on rooftops, in the alleyways,by the roads. Of the roughly 20,000families in Dhuliyan, an estimated95 percent roll bidis to survive.

Sagira is expert enough that evenwhen distracted, her fingers con-

tinue to flit blindly through the to-bacco shavings in front of her.

She says the work can make herill, with a cold, a cough, a fever. Herhead often aches. So do her fingers.

Sometimes, she takes her wovenbasket of tendu leaves and tobaccoto the banks of the Ganges to roll ina circle with her friends. She stopsevery so often to splash in the riverfor a few moments. Then she getsback to work.

“I can’t play around,” she said.A 1986 law barred children under

14 from working with bidis andother hazardous industries, but lefta huge loophole that allowed chil-dren to assist their families withwork performed at home.

So now, while the tobacco isthreshed, cut and blended in facto-ries, it is then given to Manu Seikh,the bidi king of Sagira’s neighbor-hood, and other middlemen to dis-tribute to families for rolling. Thebidis are then brought back to thefactory for roasting, packaging andshipping. A pack of 10 to 12 will re-tail for 6 rupees, or 12 cents.

The informal nature of the workmakes it nearly impossible to counthow many of India’s 7 million bidirollers are children, but estimatesrange from 250,000 to 1 million.

Every noon, adults and childrencarry baskets and tubs filled withbundles of bidis to Seikh’s cornerstall, where his men scan them forquality, reject those deemed sub-standard and stack the others inshallow wooden boxes. A book-keeper makes a note in a ledger andhands over a chit for payment.

Then the rollers receive more to-bacco and tendu leaves for anotherday’s work.

Seikh blames poverty for forcingthe children to work, and the gov-ernment for failing to stop it.

“I am very concerned about chil-dren not going to school and losingtheir futures. But we are helpless,”Seikh said.

In his nearby factory, RanjanChoudhary, 37, also distances him-self from blame, even as boys agedabout 7 or 8 slide bidis into plasticpouches and seal them on a smallstove.

Whatever the child labor laws say,he sees the industry as “a lifeline”for the people.

“It affects children, but for themto survive, this is the only industryhere. There is no other source of in-come,” he said.

The industry’s chief trade groupalso brushed off responsibility.

OMAHA, Neb. — No big upsetthis time. Kenny Boynton andFlorida were just too good forsurprising Norfolk State.

Boynton scored 20 pointsand the balanced Gatorsrouted the 15th-seeded Spar-tans 84-50 on Sunday to reachthe regional semifinals of theNCAA tournament for the sec-ond straight year.

Norfolk State shook up theWest Regional when it upsetNo. 2 seed Missouri 86-84 onFriday, and was trying to be-come the first 15 seed to reachthe round of 16.

Florida put a quick end tothat idea, making five 3-pointers

during a 25-0 run that made it29-6 midway through the firsthalf.

The seventh-seeded Gators(25-10) made it to the regionalsemifinals for the sixth time in12 NCAA tournament appear-ances under coach Billy Dono-van. They will play No. 3 seedMarquette on Thursday inPhoenix after their secondstraight runaway win.

Florida was 4 for 23 from be-yond the arc in its tourneyopener, but still managed tobeat Virginia 71-45. It redis-covered its shooting touchearly against Norfolk State (26-10), making five of its firsteight 3-point attempts and 10of 28 for the game.

Ohio trailed by two whenOffutt swished a 3-pointer,launching a 10-0 run for theBobcats. A pair of freethrows by Cooper made it54-46 with 3:28 left.

The Bobcats had a 59-53lead when Toarlyn Fitz-patrick connected forSouth Florida’s first 3-pointer of the half. ButCooper went 3 for 4 fromthe line while the Bullsmissed three shots in thefinal 36 seconds.

Victor Rudd Jr. and An-thony Collins scored 13points apiece and AugustusGilchrist had 12 for theBulls (22-14), who were play-ing in their third game infive days with a travel day inbetween.

If fatigue was a concernfor South Florida, it didn’tshow it. The Bulls relied ontheir stingy defense to limitOhio to just 30.4 percentshooting in the first half.

But while the Bulls man-aged to keep the Bobcatsaway from the rim, theycouldn’t stop them at theperimeter. Half of Ohio’ssecond-half buckets were3s, and the Bobcats finished9 for 18 from long range.

Atlanta had only 10 players available,but took an early lead that it never relin-quished.

On-fire Heat beat Magic to extend home win streak

he was more concernedwith having fun than playingbasketball in high school.

He wasn’t nearly as enter-taining on the court againstFlorida. He missed eight ofnine shots and finished withfour points — his lowest out-put since he scored twopoints in a 32-point Decem-ber loss at Illinois State. Hisonly field goal was a first-half dunk, and he playedonly 23 minutes after log-ging 37 against Missouri.

He didn’t get much help,either.

The Spartans, who shot 54percent and made 10 of 19 3-pointers against Missouri,shot 27 percent and were 4

of 24 on 3s against the Gators.Boynton, who had made

just 4 of his previous 21 3s,hit from long distance tostart Florida’s decisive run.

The big surge featuredthe frenetic temp thatFlorida enjoys. The Spar-tans missed 10 shots in arow, and each time thesmaller Gators got the re-bound, they pushed the ballquickly up the floor.

Erik Murphy hit back-to-back 3s, Bradley made oneand Beal tipped in ScottieWilbekin’s missed 3 beforeNorfolk State ended a field-goal drought that lastedmore than 7 minutes.

Norfolk State got into thetournament by winning theMid-Eastern Athletic Con-ference tournament. Theycarried an eight-game win-ning streak into the

matchup with Florida andcame into the arena exudingconfidence — and playedwith it the first few minutes.

O’Quinn, who took only 303-pointers for the season,opened the game by launch-ing one from above the topof the key. He missed, then

went back on defense andblocked Patric Young’s firstshot.

Chris McEachin hit a 3,and Rodney McCauleyswooped in to put back amiss, got fouled and madethe free throw, and NorfolkState was up 6-4.

Norfolk State’s small butloud cheering section loved it.

Then came Florida’sgame-breaking 25-0 run, andthe Gators were on their wayto improving to 22-0 all-timeagainst MEAC opponents.

The Spartans’ next, andlast, highlight came nineminutes later on a back-board-shaking dunk byO’Quinn. Problem was, thatwas the big guy’s first pointsof the game, and it only cutFlorida’s lead to 33-13.

If Norfolk State’s spiritwas broken, the same could-n’t be said about its fans.They kept chanting “DEE-FENSE, DEE-FENSE” evenas the Spartans fell behind by31 points in the second half.

The Spartans received astanding ovation as theywalked off the court afterthe game.

Henson had 13 points, 10 re-bounds and four blocks in hisreturn from a wrist injury, butMarshall broke a bone in hisright wrist during the secondhalf of North Carolina’s third-round victory over Creighton.

Coach Roy Williams con-firmed the injury after the game,and said he would talk to Mar-shall and his parents about hisstatus Sunday night. The pointguard still finished with 18points and 11 assists.

Keselowski’s win at Bris-tol last August was his thirdof the season and gave himthe provisional that allowedhim to race for the title.

Now, just a month into theseason, he’s focused on col-lecting victories.

“One win is good; twowins is really good,” Ke-selowski said. “We need tokeep winning races to lockourselves in the Chase, butheck, I’d rather just go intothe Chase in the top spot. Ifwe run like we have the lastfew weeks, we’ve got as gooda shot as anybody else.”

Keselowski narrowly es-caped an early seven-car accident, worked his way to-ward the front, then settledin for a tight battle withKenseth over the final thirdof the race. Kenseth beatKeselowski on one of theirrestarts — fans complainedinstantly on Twitter thatKenseth had jumped thestart — and Keselowski hadto run him back down to re-claim the lead.

But a late caution whenTony Stewart hit the wallput Keselowski’s win injeopardy.

“I’ve got no clue what todo here,” he radioed crewchief Paul Wolfe, who de-cided to leave Keselowski onthe track and not bring himin to the pits under caution.

Then Keselowski had todecide which lane to choosefor the final restart, and hisdecision to take the outsidemay have sealed the win.

“I knew as long as I couldbeat him on the first lap, Iknew I had a good enoughcar and I’m a good enoughdriver to win,” Keselowskisaid. “Matt didn’t make iteasy. That’s his job, to notmake it easy on me. Heraced me hard; I raced himhard, rubbed a little bit.That’s good racing.”

Kenseth settled for sec-ond in his Roush FenwayRacing Ford.

“He should have startedon the bottom, for me; un-fortunately he didn’t,” saidKenseth, who also deniedjumping the earlier restart.

“I knew it was close, buthere is the thing: When youget to the second line, theysay that the race is on. Iknew we took off a little early.... I am waiting for him. ... Ididn’t even floor it until wegot to the start-finish line. Idon’t know if he was tryingto let me beat him on pur-pose or what was going on.”

Keselowski said judgingthe restarts was “too subjec-tive” and that a no-call byNASCAR “was the right call.”

The three Toyotas fromMichael Waltrip Racingcapped an impressive dayby rounding out the top five— a feat that marked astrong return to racing forBrian Vickers.

Martin Truex Jr. led theMWR contingent with athird-place finish and wasfollowed by Bowyer andVickers, who ran his firstrace of the season. Out ofwork since Red Bull Racingclosed at the end of last sea-son, Vickers was tabbed lastweek to run six of the racesthat MWR driver Mark Mar-tin sits out this season.

He had a strong debutrace, leading a career-high125 laps. In 14 previousraces at Bristol, Vickers hadled only one lap, never fin-ished in the top 10 andended on the lead lap onlyfour times.

“When it’s your only one,you have to make it count,”Vickers said. “This waspretty good and it felt reallygood when we were outthere leading. It would havebeen awesome to hold ontothat, but it’s the first timeback so I can’t complain aboutthat. What an organization.”

PALM HARBOR — LukeDonald returned to No. 1 inthe world the same way hegot there the first time.

Donald rallied from athree-shot deficit Sunday atthe Transitions with a 5-under 66, then won a four-man playoff on the firstextra hole with a shot out ofthe rough to 6 feet and abirdie putt that curled inthe left side of the cup.

He gave a big uppercutwith his right fist to celebratethe end of a wild day at In-nisbrook — and a devastat-ing finish for Ernie Els.

Els was among eight play-ers tied for the lead at somepoint in the final round, andhad a one-shot lead goinginto the closing stretchknown as the “Snake Pit” atthe Copperhead course.

The Big Easy missed a 4-foot birdie putt on the16th, and then badly misseda 4-foot par putt on the 18thhole that caused him tomiss the playoff by one shot.He likely has to win in thenext two weeks to avoidmissing the Masters for thefirst time since 1993.

Donald ended Rory McIlroy’s two-week stayatop the world ranking.

He first reached No. 1 inthe world by winning a play-off over Lee Westwood atWentworth last May. Thisrequired more work: Don-ald had to beat Jim Furyk,Robert Garrigus and BaeSang-Moon in sudden death.

Furyk, who closed with a69, had an awkward lie justshort of the bunker and lefthimself a 40-foot putt. Bae(68) missed his birdie attemptfrom 18 feet. Garrigus, whobirdied the last two holes inregulation for a 64,pounded his tee shot andhit wedge into 7 feet, but hepulled his birdie putt.

That set the stage forDonald, who hit a superbshot from the rough thatbarely cleared the bunker.

“I was a lot more nervousthe first time,” Donald saidof getting to No. 1. “Thatcertainly wasn’t my focus. Iwas just focused on tryingto win the tournament, andit worked out.”

They all finished at 13-under 271.

Scott Piercy, who finishedhis 62 before the leadersteed off, joined Els (67), KenDuke (68) and Jeff Overton(66) in a tie for fifth. Overtonand Piercy had birdiechances on the 18th, nei-ther knowing it would beenough for a playoff. Dukemissed a 5-foot par putt onthe 17th hole to fall out of asix-way share of the lead.

As sweet as it was forDonald, it was painful for Els.

The Big Easy needed towin to secure his spot at Au-gusta National, and he was

poised to do just that with aflawless round until theend. But he missed a 4-footbirdie putt on the 16th thatwould have given him atwo-shot lead, then fell backinto a six-way tie with a teeshot that sailed well right ofthe par-3 17th green andleft him no chance of get-ting it close to save par.

He pulled his approachinto the light rough left ofthe flag on the 18th, chippedbelow the hole and seemeda lock to be in the playoff.But his par putt never eventouched the hole.

Els needs to be in the top

50 in the world after nextweek, and his four-way tiefor fifth only moved him tothe lower 60s. Because thefield isn’t strong at Bay Hill,he might have to win tohave any chance. Els also isplaying the Houston Open.

Els barely restrainedhimself in a TV interviewafter the round. There reallywasn’t much to say later.

“I’m pretty hot now, andit’s difficult to talk with astraight head here,” he said.“If I take stock, I think I’mplaying good golf, and I’ve gotto head into the next coupleof weeks trying to get a win.”

Donald back on top

Luke Donald pumps his fist Sunday after winning the Transitions Championship in Palm Harbor.


Berger Warner hits from the fairway on the third hole Sunday during the 50th annualSt. Patrick’s Golf Championship at the Inverness Golf & Country Club.

He visited them often, travel-ing up from Dunedin, and around of golf was often in-cluded.

“I started playing when I was3,” Knox, now 22, said.

Still, no one was about tomake it an easy victory for him.An opening round of 75 lefthim two strokes off the lead;his Saturday score of 73 kepthim two shots behind.

Knox was hardly alone in thehunt. Going into Sunday’s finalround, six golfers were withinfour strokes of the lead. Thegolfer who ended up posing thegreatest challenge was in hisown group, seven-time cham-pion Berger Warner.

“I knew I was one strokeahead going into the back nine(holes),” Knox said of the duel.“He had me on the ropes, but Ifinished birdie-birdie.”

Warner kept pace, also get-ting a birdie on the 17th hole.But he couldn’t catch Knox.Warner and first-round co-leader Chris Bernhard eachshot a two-under-par 70 Sun-day, with Warner placing sec-ond with a 218 total andBernhard third at 220.

Knox’s win was as much acredit to his ability to stave offthe pressure of the situation. “Itook my time with my shots,” hesaid. “I kept to my routine, I fol-lowed my routine.”

It worked. Knox, who fin-ished second in 2005 and 2006,got the title that had eludedhim until now.

Dr. Tom Hendrick, a two-time champ who led after tworounds at 74-72-146, shot a finalround of 79 to finish at 225,which was good enough forhim to win the first flight.

“I didn’t play as well today,”Hendrick said. “But no waywas I going to be able to play withthose guys. They played great.”

With weather conditions nearperfect, most of those compet-ing expected an abundance ofrounds like those turned in byKnox, Bernhard and Warner.They proved to be rare, withonly four sub-par roundsrecorded in the tournament.

Finishing second behindHendrick in first flight wasDenny Allen with a 75-73-79-227, followed by Charles Kellyat 74-78-76-228. The second

flight winner was Alan Chat-man with a 75-80-75-230, withBobby Shoemaker second at80-77-75-232 and Nathan Con-nor third at 79-81-73-233. Dex-ter Elsemmore’s 76-83-78-237was good enough to win thethird flight, followed by RichAdamonis and John Martin (81-82-82-245).

Brad Russ collected the titlein the fourth flight with an 84-77-81-242, with Dan Wilson sec-ond at 83-83-78-244 and SteveBagby third at 87-84-76-247. Inthe fifth flight, Greg Covinotook first with an 80-84-87-251,with Jim Evilsizer second at 91-82-84-257 and Al Citrano thirdat 88-88-85-261.

Hank Hague won the sixthflight by virtue of a better final-round score. Hague shot 91-85-85-261, the same total as ShearlMoore’s 88-86-87-261. VinnieGeorge was third at 88-90-85-263.

The Seventh flight also pro-duced a tie at the top, withRoger Homan winning the final-round tiebreaker with a 95-85-84-264, followed by Brad St. Clairat 89-89-86-264. In third wasWalter Fitton with a 92-90-90-272.

Ben Pfister was a four-strokewinner in the eighth flight witha 95-84-92-271. Tom Bridwellplaced second at 96-85-94-275and Jeremiah Champion tookthird at 89-96-91-276. Ninthflight, scored by points, waswon by Harry Dodd (60-62-60-182 points), with Ralph Trow-bridge second (62-60-54-176)and Joe Martindale third (61-56-55-172).

DAVID GERMAINAP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES — Audiencesheaded back to school for the TVupdate “21 Jump Street,” whichopened as the No. 1 weekend moviewith $35 million.

Sony’s action comedy starringJonah Hill and Channing Tatum ascops going undercover as highschool students took down the ani-mated hit “Dr. Seuss’ the Lorax,”which had been the top flick theprevious two weekends.

Studio estimates Sunday put Uni-versal’s “The Lorax” in second-place with $22.8 million, raising itsdomestic total to $158.4 million.

At No. 3, Disney’s costly sci-fi dud“John Carter” dropped sharply inits second weekend. The EdgarRice Burroughs adaptation took in$13.5 million, down 55 percent fromits anemic opening weekend andlifting its domestic total to a measly$53.2 million. “John Carter” report-edly cost $250 million to make.

While tanking in the UnitedStates, “John Carter” has done de-cent business overseas. It took in$40.7 million this weekend to pushits international haul to $126.1 mil-lion and its worldwide total to$179.3 million.

In narrow release, Will Ferrell’sSpanish-language B-movie spoof“Casa de mi Padre” opened solidlyat No. 9 with $2.2 million. The Lion-sgate release played in just 382 the-aters, compared to 3,121 for “21Jump Street.”

Based on the 1980s TV show thatmade Johnny Depp a star, “21 JumpStreet” casts Hill and Tatum asrookie cops posing as teens to rootout crooks peddling a psychedelic

new drug at a Los Angeles school.Rather than doing a straight up-

date of the TV show, Sony turned “21Jump Street” on its head for the big-screen, retooling it as a comedy thathelped pack in the under-25 crowd,which made up half of the audience.

“I just think you had to make itrelevant, and action comedy wasthe way to go. And they did make itvery relevant to a young audience,”said Rory Bruer, head of distribu-tion for Sony. “The guys, Jonah andChanning, were just killer together.They had incredible chemistry andcertainly were the attraction foryounger crowds.”

Hollywood’s box-office hot streakfinally cooled off a bit, with overallbusiness down for the first weekendthis year. Domestic revenues to-taled $108 million, off 6 percentfrom the same weekend last year,according to box-office tracker Hol-lywood.com.

That’s likely to be just a hiccupfor Hollywood, though, with busi-ness expected to soar again nextweekend as the adaptation of the

best-seller “The Hunger Games”hits theaters.

Hollywood.com analyst Paul Der-garabedian said “The HungerGames” could have an openingweekend well above $100 millionand might surpass the $116.1 mil-lion debut of 2010’s “Alice in Won-derland,” which holds the recordfor best domestic premiere inMarch.

Dergarabedian attended “TheHunger Games” premiere and saidthat “fans were lined up, campedout for days. I hadn’t seen that sincethe ‘Twilight’ movie. But unlike‘Twilight,’ which was dominated bythe female audience, there’s hugeinterest from males in this movie.”

With a huge summer seasonahead that includes the superherotales “The Avengers,” “The Amaz-ing Spider-Man” and “The DarkKnight Rises,” Hollywood has astrong shot at setting a revenuerecord this year.

So far, domestic revenues are at$2.16 billion, 16 percent ahead oflast year’s.

PHILADELPHIA — Itmight be the first time a sep-arated couple got back to-gether thanks to theirg r e a t - g r e a t - g r e a t -granddaughter.

The attractive young cou-ple is Benjamin and MariaGratz, or more accuratelytheir portraits, which werepainted in 1831 by notedEnglish-born Philadelphiaartist Thomas Sully butsomehow parted ways an un-known number of years ago.

Benjamin has been hang-ing for decades at theRosenbach Museum & Li-brary along with other mem-

bers of the Gratz family, whowere prominent in earlyPhiladelphia’s business andphilanthropic worlds.

The museum, stumped re-garding Maria’s where-abouts, expanded theirinvestigation from auctionand estate records to the Internet.

A post titled “The LostPortraits of Mrs. BenjaminGratz: Have you seenMaria?” went online lastJune on a museum docent’sscholarly blog about educa-tor and humanitarian Re-becca Gratz, thesister-in-law of Maria CecilGist Gratz. The posting in-cluded a black-and-white

photo of a small copy madeof the portrait long ago.

“Three weeks later I get amessage on my phone: ‘Ithink I may be someoneyou’re looking for,’” mu-seum curator Judith Gustonsaid. “I couldn’t believe it.”

The caller was the great-great-great-granddaughterof the pretty woman in thelost portrait. Though it was-n’t exactly lost — not as faras Maria Gratz Roberts ofAtlanta was concerned.

“It was in my house,” saidGratz Roberts, who pro-nounces her first name“mar-EYE’-ah” just like hernamesake did. “I’m very in-terested in genealogy was

looking up some informa-tion on the family, that’s howit started. I saw the articleabout the missing portraitand I was very surprised.”

Benjamin and MariaGratz were in their 30swhen the portraits werepainted during their tripfrom Lexington, Ky., to visitBenjamin’s family inPhiladelphia. No one in thefamily knows why or whenthe portraits broke up,though it was at least 75years ago.

Gratz Roberts said herrelatives had long believedtheirs was a reproductionand the Sully original wassomewhere in Philadelphia.

PHILLIP ALDERNewspaper Enterprise Assn.

Tom Shales, a Pulitzer Prize-winning TV critic,described actor and comedian Robin Williams as“a fellow with the inventiveness of Albert Einsteinbut with the attention span of Daffy Duck.”

That would not work well for a bridge player,who often needs to have an attention span lastingthe auction and 12 tricks. In this deal, though,“duck” is the key word. How should the play go inthree no-trump after West leads the heart queen?

Opening one diamond with three cards in thesuit occurs only with the distribution of that Southhand. Also, South’s two-no-trump rebid is forcing.If North has game-invitational values with a six-card club suit, he should raise to three no-trump,hoping his suit will be useful. This also means thatif North rebids three clubs (even using Standard,not two-over-one game-force), that should be forc-ing.

South starts with five top tricks: one spade, twohearts and two clubs. Assuming clubs are 3-2 (ifthey’re 4-1, the contract has no chance), that suitcan add three more winners, but declarer alsoneeds one diamond trick. As a consequence, hewill lose the lead twice before having his nine win-ners established. He is in danger of losing oneclub, one diamond and three hearts.

After taking the first trick with dummy’s bareace, South must call for a low club. No doubt Westwill take the trick and persevere with the hearteight. What now?

Declarer must duck this trick, win the thirdheart (getting East out of the suit if it is 5-3), runthe clubs and play a diamond. When East has thatace, the contract makes.

Dear Annie: Four years ago,my adult son was divorcedand then lost his job. He

tried selling his house,but couldn’t find abuyer. At the sametime, my sister’sdaughter, also recentlydivorced, needed alarger house and a bet-ter school system forher three teenage chil-dren.

My sister and I cameup with what wethought was a win-winsituation: My niecewould take over myson’s house payments.We hoped she couldobtain a mortgage within twoyears and purchase the house forthe balance. My son would makeno profit. The only condition wasthat she maintain the place. Aftertwo years, my son was still unem-ployed, and my niece was unableto qualify for a mortgage. So welet the arrangement continue.

We recently learned that myniece moved out without any no-tification or explanation. Wewere shocked when we saw thatthe house had been completelydestroyed. We had the propertyevaluated and were told it wouldtake $25,000 to get it back intosaleable condition. With the helpof relatives and contractors andmore than 500 hours of free labor,the house is now in decent shape.My husband and I (both retired)invested $15,000.

I have sent emails and lettersto my sister and niece, with ab-solutely no response. If theywon’t help repay the money, atleast they could offer an explana-

tion and an apology. I finally hada lawyer contact my niece aboutcompensation. She has a decent

income and was morethan capable of takingcare of the house.

Our next decision iswhether to file a law-suit. I have tried to re-store the familyrelationship, but ap-parently, they are notinterested. What do Ido? — Can’t AffordThis Dilemma

Dear Dilemma: It’sdisappointing thatyour niece cannot faceup to her responsibil-ity, and that her

mother is willing to lose the rela-tionship and be sued in order toallow her daughter to hide. Wedoubt that forgiving a $15,000debt will restore your family ties.You will simply be out the money.

Please make one last attemptto resolve this before going tocourt. Can you see your sister inperson? Ask to meet at a neutralplace to discuss this before it getscompletely out of hand. We hopeshe will agree so the two of youcan express your feelings, in-cluding how sad you are, and findout whether anything can bedone. An apology would go a longway.

Dear Annie: Would you pleaseask your readers to list a charityor medical organization in lieu offlowers in death notices? Toomany people send flowers whenthere is a decline in giving tomedical research.

At a recent visitation, therewere two rooms full of flowers.Within a few hours, flowers die.

Please help raise awareness thatthere are other significant waysto remember the deceased. —Friend of a Young Lung CancerVictim

Dear Friend: We are all infavor of donations to charity andmedical research, and we hopefamily members who place deathnotices in the newspapers andonline will keep this in mind as away of honoring the deceased. Itmeans a great deal to these or-ganizations to have the financialsupport.

Dear Annie: Thank you forprinting the letter from “Saska-toon,” who asked whether it wasrude to leave the TV on when onehas company.

We have the same situationwith a family member who leavesthe TV on all day. Because of this,we have shortened our time withthem. Even when we have beeninvited to stay only for a couple ofdays, this family member prefersto sit in front of the idiot box. TheTV shouldn’t be one’s best friendto the exclusion of speaking toguests in your home — includingfamily. — Not Visiting So MuchAnymore

DUI deathsTornadoes killed 36 inno-

cent people in the last threedays. How sad. But listen tothis: 41 people — I said 41innocent people — havedied every day on our high-ways from a drunk driver.Forty-one people killed froma drunken drunk, not count-ing injured little childrenand babies for life, brokenhomes. You pot-scrubbingjudges and attorneys let thisgo on. You need to becaned. Don’t you ever thinkyou’ll get away with this,judges. You have an ap-pointment with the finaljudge — God almighty —and you’ll answer to him.

Let educators workToday is March 8. In your

editorial about the“‘Parental trigger’ not thesolution,” you’re right onthe money. As with trying toprivatize the presence andgiving their opinions and allthat with education, I sug-gest they let the educatorseducate and the politicianspolitick, but get your handsoff of the tax money for theschools. I agree with youjust 100 percent.

Just Americans?Recently, a Sounding Off

caller said that he did notcare about the people inSyria or any other country,only those in the UnitedStates. Fortunately, this atti-tude is becoming archaic,as the newer generation ismore global. But I must ask,when Jesus taught us to loveone another, do you think hemeant just those in the U.S.?

New rulesWith the new watering re-

strictions, I believe it wouldbe wise for the county to in-

clude a copy of the wateringregulations in the next billresidents receive for theirwater. They can pay for thatadditional page — one sheetof paper — from the finesthat they collected over previ-ous watering fines for individ-uals. It will eliminate the, “Ididn’t know,” or “I didn’thear,” or “No one told me.”

Tortoise poachersAttention, users of the

Withlacoochee Trail: In theHolder area, I noticed a cou-ple poaching gopher tor-toises. They had milk cratesattached to the front of

their bikes. One tortoisewas placed into the crateand covered by a cloth or ashirt. When they saw mewatching, they hopped ontheir bikes and sped away. Ireported them to the CrimeWatch driver and a parkworker, but the poacherswere long gone. Please beon the lookout to protectour endangered species.

Cost of gossipWhen repeating malicious

gossip, one should be awareof the fact this country hassevere libel and slanderlaws. It can be expensive

not biting one’s tongue.

Young workersWith all the panic about

the Social Security fundgoing broke, there’s one pic-ture everyone forgets: Thereare 125 million Americansunder the age of 30 andthere are all those over age30 in the workforce, not tomention the seniors workingpart time and all payinginto Social Security.

Talk is cheapThe comment on “Gene

and Don gone,” what arethey replaced by? Talk

shows. We have so manytalk shows now. These peo-ple replaced these men withtalk shows when people en-joyed the music. It’s ashame that (we) can’t havewhat the people really want.

Wasted waterReading about water re-

strictions, I do hope thatsomeone will alert TerraVista and Citrus Hills forwasting water on the road-sides on (County Road) 486and their community. Theywater often, with no regardto restricted days or hours.We’ve seen sprinklers on

even when it’s raining.Maybe a fine from Swiftmudwill force them, Citrus Hillsand Terra Vista, to abide bythe rules. Why should theybe exempt? We all have toconserve. Someone shouldget after them and havethem adjust their sprinklersystem and abide by thenew rules.

Thanks, everyoneI’ve been a resident of Cit-

rus County for over 30 yearsand I want to say many,many thanks. I live in BeverlyHills now; I used to live inCrystal River. Many thanks toall the students and the proj-ect people that are workingon cleaning up HuntersSpring Park. It’s a wonderfulthing they’re doing — all thetime and effort. It’s justsuper. You know, it’s wonder-ful. It is truly wonderful.

What’s Obama done?It’s amazing how so many

people can be misled by notreally paying attention to thefacts. Now there’s letters tothe editor and comments inSound Off saying, “Why arewe blaming Obama becausethe problems stem backfrom the Republicans?” Thatmay be a very fair state-ment, but in four years,what has Obama done tosolve the problem? Puttingus deeper in debt; not bring-ing the troops home whenhe promised. There’s anarray of promises he madethree-and-a-half years agothat he’s hardly kept any ofthem. He was going to re-duce taxes. He was going toset the world on fire. Sothese people that are blam-ing each other better goback, study the facts in thebeginning and then make anassessment.
