NANCY KENNEDY Staff writer A few days before his 100th birthday on Sept. 11, Joe Filler shared his secret for reaching the century mark. “Being good — and being lucky,” he said with a chuckle. “I was born in Warren, Ohio, on Sept. 11, 1918,” he said. “I had three brothers — I’m the oldest.” He wanted to be a commer- cial artist and get into advertis- ing. As he explained, “Back in those days, catalogs were the big thing and I wanted to get in on it. But then along came Uncle Sam.” Filler enlisted in the Army prior to World War II. “When they called me up for service they asked which branch of the service would I like to go into,” he said. “I said, ‘What is there?” They told me and I picked the Army because it was closest to my home.” Then on a Sunday, he was sit- ting on his bunk writing a letter to his wife when it came over the radio: The Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor. “The captain came and told us, ‘Send all your civilian clothes home — you’re all in the war now!’ I’ve been a lot of places and seen a lot of things after that,” Filler said. He is one of the few still- living survivors of the D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, in June 1944. “First, we went to England,” he said, “and there were no barracks for us! They had to go around to the townspeople and ask if they had room for a soldier or two.” When he arrived off the coast of Normandy, because he was a tank and automotive mechanic, he was not a part of the first wave of troops to storm Omaha Beach. “Gen. Patton wouldn’t let us go with the first wave. He said, ‘We’re not sending our service troops with the others. Who’s going to fix things if all the maintenance people get all shot up?’ So, we were in the second or third wave,” Filler said. Once they got into France, Filler said, the Germans changed from bombing during the day to bombing at night. “We got there just before dark and the captain told us to find ourselves a (fox)hole, and that we did,” he said. “Well, the bombers went over that night dropping bombs and I said, “This one’s coming awfully close,’ but we couldn’t see any- thing — it was too dark. I woke up in the morning and there’s a big bomb sticking up out of the ground about 500 feet from me. “That’s when I said, ‘That’s my luck for this war,’ and it worked. I made it out; I got through it and came home,” he said. His brothers all came back from the war alive, too. After Filler came home, he and his family moved to South Florida, where he got a job as a mechanic with Eastern Airlines, based in Miami. He worked 16 years until they went bankrupt in 1991.

In 2014, the county declared it surplus as it was no longer needed. Challa attended a July 24 sur- plus property auction at the court- house. Dozens of people were there and some participated by phone, he said, but no one other than Challa bid for the C.R. 486 property. Challa’s bid of $110,000 was ac- cepted, according to the lawsuit, and he signed a vacant-land contract. Two days later he received a let- ter from county Public Works Di- rector Randall Olney stating the bid did not meet the “base re- serve” amount necessary to buy the property. Challa said in an interview he was willing to pay that amount, which he said is 80 percent of the taxable value, or $230,000. However, county regulations say the base reserve is 80 percent of the appraised value, which in this case is nearly $900,000, put- ting the minimum purchase price closer to $720,000.

an event with artifacts from the World Trade Center attack, includ-ing articles from the destroyed buildings, parts of vehicles, por-traits and clothes worn by first- responders at the horrific event.

D-Day survivor turns 100

MATTHEW BECK/ChronicleWorld War II veteran Joseph Filler reflects upon his 100 years of life from his Inverness home. Filler, a United States Army veteran, turns 100 today.

nancy KennedyStaff writer

A few days before his 100th birthday on Sept. 11, Joe Filler shared his secret for reaching the century mark.

“Being good — and being lucky,” he said with a chuckle.

“I was born in Warren, Ohio, on Sept. 11, 1918,” he said. “I had three brothers — I’m the oldest.”

He wanted to be a commer-cial artist and get into advertis-ing. As he explained, “Back in those days, catalogs were the big thing and I wanted to get in on it. But then along came Uncle Sam.”

“When they called me up for service they asked which branch of the service would I like to go into,” he said. “I said, ‘What is there?” They told me and I picked the Army because it was closest to my home.”

Then on a Sunday, he was sit-ting on his bunk writing a letter to his wife when it came over the radio: The Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor.

“The captain came and told us, ‘Send all your civilian clothes home — you’re all in the war now!’ I’ve been a lot of places and seen a lot of things after that,” Filler said.

He is one of the few still- living survivors of the D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, in June 1944.

Developer sues county after property bid rejected

miKe WrightStaff writer

With eyes on a potential devel-opment site across from his cor-ner lot on one of Citrus County’s busiest intersections, Dr. Hanimi Challa thought he had it sewed up when he was the lone bidder at a county surplus-property auction.

But the county rejected Challa’s bid as being too low, and now he’s suing for breach of contract.

Challa, an Alachua County resident and Ocala physician, owns several parcels throughout Citrus County, including the site of a now-torn-down BP gas station and convenience store on the corner of County Road 486 and

GOP gubernatorial nominee resigns from CongressBrendan Farrington

Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE — Republican U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis resigned from Con-gress on Monday to focus on his bid to become Florida’s next governor.

DeSantis sent a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan and asked that his resignation be retroactive to Sept. 1 so he receives no pay for the month.

The northeast Florida congressman won the Republican nomination on Aug. 28 with the help of President Don-ald Trump’s endorsement. Early polls show he is in a tight race with Demo-cratic nominee and Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum.

“As the Republican nominee for Governor of Florida, it is clear to me that I will likely miss the vast majority of our remaining session days for this Congress. Under these circumstances, it would be inappropriate for me to accept a salary,” DeSantis wrote.

The resignation also comes as The Washington Post reports on speeches De-Santis made at an annual event orga-nized by the David Horowitz Freedom Center. Horowitz is known for anti- Muslim rhetoric, and the Southern Pov-erty Law Center says he has been a driv-

ing force behind anti-Muslim, anti- immigrant and anti-black movements. Other Republican congressmen, U.S. senators and governors have spoken at events organized by Horowitz, including U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions when

he was still in the Senate and then-Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

Gillum responded to the report on Twitter.

“I’m ready to bring Florida together, which means having the courage to stand

up to the forces of division. I would hope Ron DeSantis would feel the same way, but his actions and words are deeply troubling,” Gillum tweeted.

The DeSantis campaign declined to comment on the report.

Former Pinellas County Republican Chairman Tony DiMatteo said DeSantis’ association with Horowitz’s group wouldn’t make a difference in the election.

“As far as being associated with a very conservative group? He’s very conserva-tive,” DiMatteo said. “DeSantis is fine.”

Still, race has already become an issue in the campaign, with Democrats and Gillum criticizing DeSantis for his choice of words when he said Florida voters shouldn’t “monkey this up” by electing Gillum, who hopes to become Florida’s first black governor.

Gillum upset several other Democratic nominees in the primary and has gar-nered national attention since then. In the immediate aftermath, he has raised more money than DeSantis.

Republican businessman Michael Walz faces Democrat Nancy Soderberg in the race to fill DeSantis’ seat. Soderberg is a former United Nations ambassador and served on President Bill Clinton’s National Security Council.

Dog killed, two residents injured

in house fireSILVER SPRINGS —

Crews said a dog has died and two people were injured in a fire in Florida.

Marion County Fire Rescue officials said in a Facebook post that they got a call early Monday from a home in Silver Springs, which is near Ocala. Dispatchers heard someone yelling “to get out of the house” because it was on fire.

Arriving firefighters found two people outside the burn-ing home. They found the dog dead inside. The Ocala Star-Banner reported another dog escaped. The injured res-idents were taken to a hospi-tal. Their conditions weren’t immediately available.

Forgey said Morales- Serrano fired repeated shots at the owner of Bakery Mill and Deli in Gainesville early Saturday. The restaurant owner was shot once in the arm.

Morales-Serrano is being held on a $1.2 million bond.

9/11 memorial on display at library

Sept. 11, 2001, was a time of immense strength and unity. Each year on Sept. 11, the nation honors all those who perished in the tragic attacks and also those who risked their lives to save and protect others from harm that day. The Cit-rus County Library System has a special memorial on loan from the city of Crystal River. The memorial is cur-rently on display at the Lakes Region branch in In-verness. It features a piece of steel beam from the World Trade Center, a copy of the special edition head-line of the Citrus County Chronicle from the day of the 9/11 attacks, and a signed letter from the mayor of New York.

The memorial was es-tablished in 2010 and do-nated to the city of Crystal River. After spending some time in local schools and government buildings, it was loaned to the library system in 2015. It was previously displayed at the Coastal Region and Homosassa branches. The memorial will be on dis-play for the next 12 months and then rotate to the next library location.

NAMI Citrus to meet on Sept. 17

The September meeting date for NAMI Citrus has changed. NAMI will meet on Monday, Sept. 17, at Salvation Army auditorium, 712 S. School Ave., Le-canto, off State Road 44.

Doors opening at 6:15 p.m. The program will be provided by a certified music therapist.

The public is welcome.

Airboat slides temporarily

closedThe Southwest Florida

Water Management Dis-trict has temporarily closed the Brogden Bridge at Turner Camp Road and Wysong-Coogler airboat slides in Citrus County due to safety concerns associ-ated with high water levels.

Attempts to use the slides in current conditions could damage airboats or injure passengers. Water district staff will continue to monitor conditions and will reopen the slides as soon as practical.

The Moccasin Slough slide is currently open but could be temporarily closed as conditions change.

Storm not impacting state

gas pricesHurricane Florence is a

threat to the U.S. east coast but so far it has not affected gas prices in Citrus County or the state.

Florida’s average of $2.77 per gallon is 3.5 cents less than a week ago, and 5 cents less than last month, according to AAA-The Auto Club Group

“When a major storm approaches the U.S., gas-oline markets can be just as unpredictable as the storm itself,” said AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins. “It’s unclear what, if any, impact Hurricane Florence will have on prices at the pump outside the im-pacted area.

“Although there are no crude/gasoline refineries in the ‘cone of uncertainty,’ a major storm like this can threaten the regional sup-ply chain, which can lead to rising prices,” Jenkins added.

Citrus County ChroniCle

Around the STATE

Mike WrightStaff writer

Citrus County School Board members will con-tinue discussing today whether to participate in a program designed to train armed individuals to pro-vide added security in schools.

Board members are ex-pected to decide whether to ask Sheriff Mike Pren-dergast to provide training should the board choose to participate in the guard-ian program.

The school board

meeting starts at 4 p.m. at the district administrative office, 1007 W. Main St., Inverness.

The Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Act, named for the South Flor-ida school where a gun-man killed 17 students and teachers on Feb. 14, re-quires a resource officer in each school.

While the state provided some funding for that mandate, both the school district and county com-bined to pay $2.5 million toward the program.

Additional state money

is available through the act’s Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program, which provides firearm training for school personnel.

Some school board members voiced support for the guardian program during an August board meeting, so long as it doesn’t involve teachers.

Instead, the district could hire retired law en-forcement officers or re-tired members of the military to receive fire-arms training and provide additional security at schools, Assistant

Superintendent of Schools Mike Mullen said.

On Tuesday, the board will decide whether to ap-prove the guardian pro-gram and send a letter to Prendergast, asking that he participate by provid-ing the training.

In other business Tues-day, the board will vote on an amendment to the stu-dent code of conduct that changes the wording on zero tolerance from school-related violent crime to school-related vi-olent behavior.

The policy requires a

minimum mandatory ex-pulsion of one year for stu-dents who bring a firearm to school, making a threat or false report and other violations.

The amendment is due to a change in state law, Mullen said.

Also Tuesday, the board has a 5:30 p.m. public hearing to finalize the 2018-19 budget and tax rates. The proposed bud-get is set at $218 million and the tax rate at 6.579 mills. One mill equals $1 for every $1,000 of taxable value on property.

Board mulls guardian program

Rememberance ride

MATTHEW BECK/ChronicleDozens of motorcyclists ride Saturday morning through the intersection of West Venable Street and Rock Crusher Road as part of the 9/11 Remembrance Ride sponsored by the Smoke Divers Firefighters Motorcycle Club National/Chapter 1, Florida, Citrus County. The ride began at the Crystal Harley-Davidson dealership on U.S. 19 in Homosassa and proceeded across the county to Liberty Park in Inverness, where the riders visited the park’s 9/11 memorial before heading back across the county where the ride started.

Special to the Chronicle

Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller An-gela Vick has announced that there will be a special Passport Day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, at the Citrus County Court-house, 110 N. Apopka Ave., Inverness.

Recognizing it is not al-ways convenient to visit our the Clerk of Court of-fice during the week, Pass-port Day is offered twice a year on a Saturday. As a U.S. Passport Acceptance Facility, the Clerk of Court Office accepts applica-tions for new passports and can also take the re-quired photo. Although it cannot accept and mail passport renewals, the of-fice is qualified to take the required passport photos and review renewal applications.

All United States citi-zens applying for a new U.S. passport must apply in person. For new pass-ports, Application DS-11 should be completed in its entirety using black ink; do not sign the application until asked to do so at the Clerk of Court office.

This form is available at the Clerk of Court office or can be accessed at www.citrusclerk.org.

If both parents are not able to be present, please refer to the special circumstances on page 1 of the DS-11 form, or contact our office for assis-tance.

Passport Day on Oct. 13

Special to the Chronicle

The Citrus County sign ordinance is designed to provide for an un-cluttered, attractive appearance for residents, businesses and visitors.

To that end, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) at the May 8 Land Development Code workshop asked staff to conduct a public edu-cation campaign over the summer months to increase awareness of the existing sign ordinance,

according to a news release from the county.

Many citizens do not know that the sign ordinance, with a focus on safety and aesthetics, states that all signs of any kind do not belong in rights of way. All signs in the rights of way will be removed by Citrus County Code Compliance and disposed of.

Enhanced enforcement of the re-maining sign regulations will begin on Oct. 1, 2018. For example, wind signs and wind figures, along with

temporary banners, are some of the non-compliant signage on business properties seen in abundance of along major roadways.

Business owners are encouraged to review the sign ordinance and contact the county with any ques-tions prior to Oct. 1.

For more information on the sign ordinance call Cynthia Oswald, public information officer, at 352-527-5484; or go to https://tinyurl.com/yae2we38.

Enhanced sign enforcement starts soon

TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Board of Gover-nors is ready to consider a $5.2 billion budget re-quest for the state univer-sity system for next year, representing a 3.6 percent increase in spending and including $75 million in additional state perfor-mance funding.

The proposal, which will be considered by the university-system board during a two-day meeting that begins Wednesday at New College of Florida, would increase state funding for the system by $183 million in the 2019-2020 budget year.

Overall, it would include $3.2 billion in state fund-ing, along with $1.96 billion in tuition and fees, al-though there would not be a tuition increase.

The proposal would in-crease performance fund-ing for the 12 universities to $655 million next bud-get year, up from $560 mil-lion this year. The overall $95 million increase would be a combination of money from the state and from the institutions.

The budget would in-clude $327.3 million in state performance funds, including the $75 million increase, along with $327.3 million in

performance funds from the institutions.

The funding is distrib-uted to the universities each year based on 10 mea-surements of performance by each of the institutions, including graduation rates, salaries of recent gradu-ates, retention of students and student costs.

The budget proposal would also increase fund-ing for the World Class Faculty and Scholar Pro-gram by $20 million.

Today’s Highlight:On Sept. 11, 2001, on America’s

single-worst day of terrorism, nearly 3,000 people were killed as 19 al-Qaida members hijacked four passenger jetliners, sending two of the planes smashing into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania.

On this date:In 1297, Scottish rebels led by

William Wallace and Andrew Moray defeated English troops in the Bat-tle of Stirling Bridge during the First War of Scottish Independence.

EntErtainmEntOlivia Newton-John

diagnosed with cancer for 3rd timeLOS ANGELES — Olivia

Newton-John said she has been diagnosed with cancer for the third time in three decades.

The four-time Grammy winner, who will turn 70 on Sept. 26, told Australian news program “Sun-day Night” doctors found a tumor in her lower back in 2017.

Newton-John said she’s “treat-ing it naturally and doing really well.” The “Grease” star said for pain, she is taking cannabis oil, made from marijuana her hus-band grows in California. She has undergone radiation treatments and has cut sugar out of her diet.

She said, “I believe I will win over it.”

Newton-John was first diag-nosed with breast cancer in 1992, undergoing a partial mas-tectomy and reconstruction. She was diagnosed with breast can-cer again in 2013.

Cosby lawyers fight testimony of women

at sentencingNORRISTOWN, Pa. — Bill

Cosby’s lawyers are opposing testimony from other accusers at his sentencing this month on fel-ony sex assault charges.

Prosecutors want at least some of Cosby’s other accusers to testify at the Sept. 24 sentenc-ing. Five testified at the spring trial, when jurors convicted Cosby of drugging and molest-ing a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.

Defense lawyer Joseph Green Jr. in a filing Monday said testimony about uncharged con-duct should show a defendant remains a public threat.

He said the testimony about

20-year-old allegations won’t protect the public from “an 81-year-old unsighted man.”

Cosby faces up to 10 years in prison on each of three felony counts, but could get far less under state guidelines.

Study: Mideast actors ignored,

stereotyped by TVLOS ANGELES — Actors and

characters of Middle Eastern and North African descent are either ignored by TV or stereo-typed, according to a new study.

The few such actors who get work are largely confined to playing tyrants and terrorists, said the university-funded study released Monday.

One percent of regularly seen TV series actors have roots in countries including Egypt, Turkey and Israel. But estimates show about 3 percent of the U.S. popu-lation, 10 million people, are from the region, said the study’s lead author, Biola University associate professor Nancy Wang Yuen.

Researchers who examined 242 scripted prime-time series on broadcast, cable and

streaming during the 2015-16 season found that between 90 percent and 97 percent had no characters of Middle Eastern or North African ethnicity.

When those characters do ap-pear, 78 percent are tyrants or trained terrorists, agents or sol-diers, the study said. Most speak with obvious foreign accents.

Ninety percent of shows with such characters feature just one — with the now-ended “Tyrant,” a drama set in the Middle East, among the exceptions.

The study warned that such de-pictions can contribute to the rise of anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant sentiment in American society.

Three instances were de-scribed as “exemplary” in the re-port: Iranian-American actress Necar Zadegan’s portrayal of an attorney on Bravo’s “Girl-friend’s Guide to Divorce,” the cyber-security engineer played by Egyptian-American (and Emmy-winning) actor Rami Malek on “Mr. Robot” and a ten-nis pro on Amazon’s “Red Oaks” played by Turkish-American actor Ennis Esmer.

Tarpey, 69, has been col-lecting the artifacts from survivors, their spouses and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, for which he worked be-fore retiring a few years before the attack.

“It’s to keep their mem-ory alive,” Tarpey said of the nearly 343 firefighters, 23 New York Police De-partment officers, 40 EMT, and 37 Port Authority causalities.

“This is the new day of infamy,” he said, drawing a parallel between 9/11 and the attack on Pearl Harbor, which initiated our entrance into World War II.

“I personally knew 10 police officers who died that day,” Tarpey said during a Chronicle inter-view at The Valerie. “The artifacts are there to re-mind people what went down that day.”

Terrorists flew Ameri-can Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the Trade Center complex and United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower in Lower Manhattan.

In under two hours both 110-story towers crum-bled. Other buildings around them were also destroyed.

Included among those who died was George Howard, who rushed into one of the World Trade Center buildings on his

day off to rescue people trapped in the building. His mother gave her son’s badge to President George W. Bush. He has often re-ferred to the badge and Howard’s sacrifice.

“He lived right around the corner from me,” Tarpey said. “I know so many who died that day.

Tarpey owns about 2,000 artifacts and other 9/11 memorabilia.

Tarpey had retired and already moved to Citrus Hills when the attack hap-pened. His wife was work-ing at Hernando Elementary when she called him.

“I figured it was an acci-dent,” he recalled. “But all of a sudden the second plane hit the other tower. We were being attacked.”

A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia.

Terrorists flew a fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, toward Washing-ton, D.C., but it crashed into a field when passen-gers tried to overpower the hijackers.

Gary Gersitz, 66, was a member of the Port Au-thority Police Department working at LaGuardia Airport.

“After the planes hit, we were mobilized,” he re-called. “We were told to go to the World Trade Center.”

When he arrived the towers were still standing but people were already jumping from the

structures to get away from the flames. Gersitz could hear them hit the pavement.

When the first tower col-lapsed the concussion from the shock waves pushed the rescue truck he was behind trying to take cover from the flying debris.

He and others then ran north to set up a new res-cue site.

As time passes since 9/11, Gersitz thinks fewer and fewer people think of the event.

“It’s been forgotten since the 10th anniver-sary,” he said.

“It happened, it’s done, it’s over,” said Gersitz, now living in Citrus Hills.

The artifacts are needed to remind people of the sacrifice so many emer-gency workers made while trying to help victims in the buildings.

The death toll included 265 on the four planes. There were 2,606 in the World Trade Center and in the surrounding area, and 125 at the Pentagon. There were 19 terrorists in the attack.

Gersitz also wants peo-ple to remember that the debris from the collapse has caused many rescue workers to get sick and, many years later, die from afflictions he believes are related to hazardous mate-rials from the attack.

Alan Forino is Inver-ness’ cultural arts director and helped organize the Tuesday event.

“This takes a lot of effort

to put together, but I would never think about not doing it,” Forino told the Chronicle. “You should never forget.”

Forino was living on a boat with his wife in Holly-wood, Florida, on 9/11.

He learned of the attack from a small television set on the boat.

“I originally thought it was a plane that acciden-tally hit the (building),” he said.

When the second plane struck the other building, Forino said he knew the country was attacked.

The display is important “so the younger genera-tion has an understanding of what transpired,” he said. “It’s common nature … out of sight, out of mind. It dissipates a little bit.”

Garry VanDermark, 65, is the owner of Towne & Country All Wood Furni-ture at 107 Courthouse Square.

“I was here in the store (on 9/11),” VanDermark said. “I heard it on the radio.

“I thought it was a small plane off course to the air-port,” he said. “We (the

store) stayed open. We didn’t know for the longest time what was going on.”

While VanDermark sup-ports the display of arti-facts, he doesn’t think it’s necessary in order for people to remember.

But over time that will change, he said.

“You’ll have generations coming up that don’t have any idea how devastating it was at this time,” he said.

“People tend not to for-get, but it becomes a mem-ory of the past.”

Brenda Glenny, 69, was living in Hernando Beach on 9/11. She was visiting Inverness on Monday.

She was a hair stylist and owned Seaside hair salon.

She learned of the at-tack when someone from a neighboring business came and told her what happened. She turned the hair salon’s television on.

“Everyone just stood there (looking at the tele-vision) with their mouths open and in tears,” she said. “We were glued to that TV.”

Then the second plane hit.

Then they knew it was no accident, she said.

As for the display of arti-facts, “people need to re-member,” she said.

“People tend to say out of sight out of mind,” Glenny said. “People tend to be reminded.”

Exploring the possibility of living donors

Lauran neergaard Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Sur-geons turned down Terra Goudge for the liver trans-plant that was her only shot at surviving a rare cancer. Her tumor was too advanced, they said — even though Goudge had a friend ready to donate, no matter those odds.

“I have a living donor — I’m not taking away from anyone. I’m trying to save my own life,” she pleaded. Finally, the Los Angeles woman found a hospital on the other side of the coun-try that let the pair try.

People lucky enough to receive a kidney or part of a liver from a living donor not only cut years off their wait for a transplant, but those organs also tend to survive longer. Yet living donors make up a fraction of transplants, and their numbers have plateaued amid barriers that can block otherwise willing people from giving. Among them: varying hospital pol-icies on who qualifies and the surprising financial costs that some donors bear.

Now researchers are ex-ploring ways to lift those barriers and ease the na-tion’s organ shortage.

“We just want people to be given the chance to at least entertain this as a possibility,” said Dr. Abhi-nav Humar, transplant chief at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where Goudge ultimately received part of friend Amy Aleck’s liver.

Thousands of people die each year waiting for an organ transplant. Nearly 14,000 are on the waiting list for a liver transplant. Of 8,082 transplants last year, just 367 were from living donors, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing, or UNOS, which oversees the na-tion’s transplant system. Living kidney donations are more common but still not enough to meet the need. About 95,000 people are on the kidney waiting list. Of 19,849 transplants last year, 5,811 were from living donors.

One hurdle is economic.

The transplant recipient’s insurance pays the do-nor’s medical bills. But do-nors are out of work for weeks recuperating. The U.S. Labor Department last month made clear that a donor’s job can be pro-tected under the Family Medical Leave Act. But that’s unpaid leave — and donors lose income if their employer doesn’t allow some form of paid time off.

One study found more than a third of living kid-ney donors reported lost wages in the first year fol-lowing donation. The me-dian amount was $2,712, particularly difficult if asking economically dis-advantaged friends or family for an organ.

“It’s a strange thing to tell you that donors have to pay for the privilege of donating their kidneys. I think most of us would agree that’s just funda-mentally wrong,” said Dr. Paige Porrett, a surgeon with the University of Pennsylvania.

Penn is one of half a dozen transplant centers testing whether reimburs-ing a donor’s lost income could shorten the wait for a kidney.

Another challenge: Liv-ing donation too often is considered as a last resort rather than a first choice, said Pittsburgh’s Humar — especially for liver trans-plants. His hospital is trying to change that and last year performed more adult liver transplants from living donors than de-ceased ones, a milestone.

The liver is unique, able to regenerate a few

months after donors give a piece. But it is a larger and riskier operation than do-nating a kidney.

And that sparks an ethi-cal debate: Many people with failing livers aren’t allowed onto the national waiting list for organs from deceased donors. That’s because the scarce supply is rationed, given only to those with the best survival chances. But what if patients who don’t qual-ify find a living donor?

Goudge, the California patient, had been fighting a rare condition called fi-brolamellar hepatocellu-lar carcinoma since 2001. A variety of treatments kept her cancer in check for years but eventually it overwhelmed her liver. While Goudge’s condition isn’t as aggressive as typi-cal liver cancer, it was more advanced than trans-plant waiting list rules allow — and the first sur-geons she consulted said

living donation wasn’t an option either.

Then she stumbled onto Pitt’s program. Humar says living donation could allow transplants for many patients who otherwise would never get one — ei-ther because too many people are ahead of them on the waiting list or be-cause they weren’t listed. After extensive evaluation of both patient and would-be donor, Humar decided Goudge had a good enough shot at pro-longed survival to justify the risk to her friend. In April, his team replaced Goudge’s liver with a healthy piece of Aleck’s. Both recovered well.

“She is truly a walking miracle for me,” Goudge said.

Lifting barriers to organ donation

Associated PressThis family photo shows transplant recipient Terra Goudge, right, and her friend, Amy Aleck, after Aleck donated a piece of her healthy liver to Goudge. Goudge was turned down for a traditional transplant from a deceased donor, so the California women traveled to the University of Pittsburgh to find a surgeon willing to perform a living donor transplant instead.

Filler was here in Citrus County, ready to celebrate his 83rd birthday, when he watched the Twin Towers collapse on TV on Sept. 11, 2001.

“He wouldn’t celebrate his birthday that year,” said his daughter, Joyce Filler, who now lives with her dad.

Filler’s eyes teared as he said, “It was such a di-saster for our country that I didn’t want that to be a part of my birthday memory.”

This year, as he turns 100, Filler has opinions about the country and

about life in general.When a man first walked

on the moon he thought, “What did they do that for? To beat the Russians? Why couldn’t they spend the money on something else?”

As presidents go, he thinks Roosevelt — Frank-lin, not Teddy — was the best.

Kennedy was “too much of a social giver” and did things Filler didn’t think he should do.

Obama wasn’t too bad; Nixon got into too much trouble. He thinks Bill Clinton was pretty good; he liked Ronald Reagan and couldn’t remember Jimmy Carter.

As for our current presi-dent, he gave an adamant, “No! He’s terrible.”

Filler also has some sage advice for younger people.

“Pick something you want to do and stay with it. Pay serious attention to what you want to do and don’t go wandering around,” he said.

He never did go to art school, never got into com-mercial advertising, he said. Instead, he used his G.I. Bill after the war to buy a house for his family.

“I don’t have any aches and pains, but I’m slow,” he said. “I’ve done my best and the good Lord still has me here. But I’ve lost a lot of friends.”

For the RECORD

Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG — One Florida county has dumped more than 17 tons of dead fish collected since red tide algae crept up from South Florida into Tampa Bay.

Fish are dying off at such a rate that officials are seeking more commercial vessels to sift dead sea life from the Gulf of Mexico and haul it to a landfill.

Onshore in Pinellas County, many beach businesses say they aren’t seeing dead fish and that tourists are getting spooked away despite clear waters. The last red tide report out of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Con-servation Commission on Friday said the bloom was still active in Southwest Florida and ex-tended from Pinellas south to

northern Collier County, a stretch of about 120 miles of coastline.

The lack of dead fish along the shore is at least partly because the county has been paying boat captains to capture the car-casses before they reach the shoreline, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

“This is massive,” said Kelli Levy, Pinellas’ director of envi-ronmental management. “We are ramping up.”

From Friday through Monday morning, the county landfill re-ceived 17.35 tons of dead fish, Levy said.

Currently, two shrimp boats and three other pieces of com-mercial equipment are being used to collect the fish. But it is not enough. Contractors are being asked to bring in more

equipment, including large beach rakes.

The rust-colored bloom could be seen from the air off Reding-ton and Madeira beaches on Monday afternoon.

Curt Preisser, the Madeira Beach city spokesman, said the town was prepared for the bloom to spread. Officials first noticed it was 5 miles off the coast on Friday afternoon.

“But it’s a big bloom,” Pre-isser said. “And we’re not getting all of them.”

The fish getting through to the shoreline are being raked up once they reach the beach. Ma-deira had cleared up much of them by 10:30 a.m. Monday but continued work through the day as the smell of fish lingered in the air.

Just south, Treasure Island was experiencing similar conditions.

Workers there collected fish manually over the weekend and loaded them into a “hopper,” or portable containers the size of a dumpster.

NEW YORK — Today’s teens are always on their smartphones, many check social media “constantly” and prefer texting over face- to - face communication.

But a new poll finds that these same teens also say that social media has a positive effect on their lives, helping them feel more confident, less lonely and less depressed.

The poll was released Monday by Common Sense Media, a San Francisco -based nonprofit group fo-cused on kids’ use of media and technology.

It found that 89 percent of teenagers have their own smartphone.

That’s up from 41 per-cent in 2012, the last time the sur vey was conducted.

But while 2012’s teens were all over Facebook, the age group’s presence on the social network has plummeted in the past six years.

Only 15 percent of teens now say Facebook is their

main social network. In 2012, 68 percent did.

Today, 44 percent of teens say their primary so-cial network is Snapchat, making it the most popu-lar social media app, fol-lowed by Instagram (which is owned by Facebook) at 22 percent.

Among the survey’s other findings:

n The majority of teens — 59 percent — said social media makes no differ-ence in how depressed they feel. Twenty-nine per-cent, meanwhile, said it makes them feel less de-pressed and 11 percent said it makes them more depressed. Thirty-nine percent said it makes them feel less lonely and 13 percent, more lonely.

n 35 percent of teens said texting is their favor-ite way to communicate with friends, compared with 33 percent in 2012. Only 32 percent said talking in person is their preferred method of com-munication, down from 49 percent among 2012 teens.

n Almost three-quarters of teens said they believe that tech companies

manipulate people into spending more time on their devices and more than half said using social media often distracts them from homework.

n 64 percent of teen social-media users said they come across racist, sexist or homophobic or other hateful content ei-ther sometimes or often.

n 16 percent of teens use social media “almost constantly,” while 19 per-cent never do.

n 13 percent of teenag-ers said they have been cyberbullied. Nearly a quarter, meanwhile, has tried to help a person who has been cyberbullied by talking to them or report-ing it to an adult.

n More than half said parents worry too much about social media — on the other hand, 46 percent think parents would be a lot more worried if they knew what “actually hap-pens” online.

The survey was conducted in March and April among 1,141 13- to 17-year-olds nationwide.

The margin of error is 3.4 percentage points.

US consumer borrowing up strong $16.6 billion

Martin CrutsingerAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — Americans increased their borrowing in July at nearly double the pace of the pre-vious month, evidence that confident consumers are willing to take on more debt to support their spending.

The Federal Reserve re-ported Monday that con-sumer debt rose by a seasonally adjusted $16.6 billion in July, up sharply from a gain of $8.5 billion in June.

The category that in-cludes credit cards rose by $1.3 billion after shrinking by $1.2 billion in June. The category that covers auto and student loans surged by $15.4 billion after an in-crease of $9.6 billion in June. It was the largest gain since an increase of $17.9 billion last November.

Consumer borrowing is closely followed for the clues it can provide about the willingness of consum-ers to go into debt to sup-port spending.

Consumer spending

accounts for 70 percent of economic activity in the United States. After a slow start this year, consumer activity accelerated sharply this spring. That helped push overall eco-nomic growth up to a solid annual rate of 4.2 percent in the April-June quarter, almost double the 2.2 per-cent GDP gain in the first quarter.

The July increase pushed consumer borrow-ing up to a record of $3.92 trillion compared to a level of $3.75 trillion in July 2017.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California has set a goal of phasing out electricity pro-duced by fossil fuels by 2045 under legislation signed Monday by Gov. Jerry Brown, who said the policy should serve as a model for other states and nations.

Brown, who has posi-tioned California as a global leader in the effort to re-duce greenhouse gas emis-sions, approved the measure as he prepares to host a summit in San

Francisco of climate change leaders from around the world starting Wednesday.

The new law, along with an executive order Brown signed directing Califor-nia to take as much carbon dioxide out of the air as it emits, represent the latest in a string of ambitious en-vironmental initiatives as California seeks to fill a void left by President Don-ald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord and his ef-forts to boost the coal industry.

“We want others to do likewise, and if enough

people often enough do what is needed we will curb global warming,” Brown said during an interview with The Associated Press. “But we’re definitely at the beginning of what’s going to be a long and difficult and contentious journey.”

The state is pushing to rapidly expand adoption of electric vehicles and has created a “cap and trade” program to put a price on carbon emissions, creating incentives to reduce them. It’s working toward a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent over the next 12 years.

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks broke a four-day losing streak Monday as industrial companies and retailers rose. Technology companies recovered some of their steep losses from last week.

Transportation and other industrial compa-nies continued their re-cent rally and retailers like Nike, Home Depot and Walmart all climbed. While technology compa-nies rose overall, Apple fell after saying a new round of bigger U.S. tariffs could push it to raise prices.

CBS slipped after it an-nounced the departure of longtime CEO Les Moonves, and Alibaba skidded after the big Chi-nese internet retailer said co-founder Jack Ma will step down as chairman in 2019.

The European Union’s chief negotiator said the

bloc might be able to reach a deal with Britain by early November. The Brit-ish pound jumped.

Investors expect the U.S. to put new tariffs on Chinese imports soon. The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong fell again Monday after President Donald Trump again threatened to tax almost everything the U.S. im-ports from China. The index has tumbled almost 20 percent since late Jan-uary as the dispute has escalated.

Randy Frederick, vice president of trading and derivatives for Charles Schwab, said investors feel China has much more to lose in the conflict than the U.S. does, as it exports much more to the U.S. than it imports from it.

“If Chinese businesses and Chinese consumers get uncomfortable with this whole battle, they get nervous and they get ten-tative,” he said. “When

people do that, they stop spending.”

S&P 500 index gained 5.45 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,877.13. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 59.47 points, or 0.2 per-cent, to 25,857.07 as health insurer UnitedHealth and aerospace company Boe-ing traded lower.

The Nasdaq composite edged up 21.62 points, or 0.3 percent, to 7,924.16. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks rose 4.29 points, or 0.3 per-cent, to 1,717.47.

The S&P 500 fell 1 per-cent last week, its worst drop since late June.

Nike rose 2.2 percent to $82.10. The stock slumped 3 percent Aug. 31 as inves-tors worried about poten-tial backlash to an advertising campaign fea-turing former San Fran-cisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Nike’s stock has now regained al-most all the ground it lost since then.

OpiniOnPage A10 - TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2018

A liberal’s view on Judge KavanaughWith all the vitriol and ran-

cor from Democrats over the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, it was refreshing to hear a die-hard liberal come to his defense and actually re-quest her fellow liberals to join in nominating him. Lisa Blatt, an attorney who has ar-gued before the Supreme Court more than any other woman, helped introduce him. And there’s no question she’s a flaming liberal!

“My hero,” she said, “is Jus-tice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for whom I have had the great fortune of serving as a law clerk.”

In case anyone doubts on which side of the aisle she walks, she announced that she voted for Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama — twice!

Politely, she then told Chairman (Sen. Charles) Grassley that she wished (Sen. Dianne) Feinstein was the chairman of this commit-tee. There is absolutely no question, Ms. Blatt is indeed a liberal Democrat.

“And yet I am here today to introduce Judge Kavanaugh and urge the Senate to con-firm him as the next associate justice of the Supreme Court,” she said.

It would be refreshing if the other liberals could put parti-sanship aside and do what’s best for the country — just question Kavanaugh on his record as a judge — but then, they’d have very little, if any-thing, to complain about.

Kavanaugh is a fine choice

Judge Brett Kavanaugh is now well on his way to be-coming Justice Kavanaugh. One must wonder: Who is this man and what do we really know about him? Both of his parents were lawyers. He is 53 years old, and he was born and raised in Bethesda, Mary-land. The judge is a loving husband and father — he is blessed with a wife (Ashley) and two young daughters (Margaret and Liza). He also finds time to coach youth bas-ketball, tutors at local ele-mentary schools and is a leader at his local Catholic parish.

Is this man qualified to be-come a Supreme Court jus-tice? Judge Kavanaugh is more than qualified to be-come a Supreme Court jus-tice. He obtained his undergraduate and law de-grees from Yale University. After law school he clerked for 3rd Circuit Judge Walter Stapleton, 9th Circuit Judge Alex Kazinski and Supreme Court Justice Anthony Ken-nedy. He also served a one-year fellowship in the office of Solicitor General Ken Starr.

What has the man accom-plished? Judge Kavanaugh has, during his 12 years on the bench, written approxi-mately 300 opinions, proven his desire to uphold the Con-stitution (as written), au-thored decisions in support of religious liberty and de-fended the Second Amend-ment. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia used his rea-soning in Heller v. District of Columbia in the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling ac-knowledging the Second Amendment’s protection of an individual right to keep and bear arms.

Here we have a man who will interpret the Constitution as written rather than legis-lating from the bench, defend Americans’ right to practice their faith of choice without government intrusion and up-hold the separation of pow-ers. Judge Kavanaugh is a “judge’s judge” — a proven constitutionalist, one who will work to see that our con-stitutional republic resumes functioning as the Framers

intended! For far to long, Congress has allowed the ex-ecutive and judicial branches to write our laws. The presi-dent must return to function-ing as our CEO, Congress must resume its rightful au-thority of legislation, and the Supreme Court must return to faithfully interpreting the law.

As you can see, Judge Kava-naugh has outstanding cre-dentials and respect for judicial precedent. He is ex-actly the sort of justice our re-public and the American people need.

A respite from these dark times

Did you watch any of the service from our National Ca-thedral for Senator John Mc-Cain? Did you shed a tear, pray with the clergy, become misty-eyed with the singing of “Danny Boy,” smile with the numerous anecdotes from the speaking dignitaries? Did you share with your fellow Ameri-cans remembrances of a bet-ter time, a more civil time when opposing political posi-tions honored each other’s differences while pursuing their vision of greatness? Did it move you?

That which we witnessed from the National Cathedral at John McCain’s funeral ser-vice truly showcased the greatness of a country which at one time was able to com-promise in a varied political spectrum where agendas and opinions were vastly differ-ent, yet solutions were achieved. In today’s gathering darkness, that which made America great has been sacri-ficed for the privilege and profit of a few of the financial elite and politically powerful.

Did you listen to the eulo-gies from Presidents Obama and Bush? We heard two great statesmen who loved their country, yet served under differing political philosophies. Each brought a tear to my eye remembering a time not long ago when I was proud of our leadership even if I did not embrace their brand of governing. Each in his own way brought honor, discipline and integrity to a very difficult assignment — the presidency.

For a few hours on Satur-day, from Washington, D.C., America was made great again, given a reprieve from that which has transpired since November of 2016. We don’t need red caps or hateful rallies to declare our great-ness to the world or to bolster what we are as a people. We saw today whom we can once again be if we draw upon the decency and integrity of true patriots, those who know how to serve unselfishly with honor, truthfulness and respect.

Democrats and Republi-cans alike have a huge re-serve of talented and dedicated men and women who love this country just as much as you and I. They re-spect the valor and courage of our national heroes who have faithfully served. These patri-ots and potential great states-men may have been silent when silence was least needed, but they are waiting in the wings to take up the

battle where John McCain left off. We need nothing less than national heroes to guide us through this national dark-ness. Vote in November as if democracy depends on it, be-cause possibly it does.

Left can’t handle Trump’s greatnessAlmost ever day, there is

more anger, degrading and ma-ligning the best U.S. president in my many years. The Chroni-cle certainly discriminates against President Donald J. Trump, and this will probably not be printed. It is so obvious that the publisher and others are Democrats — it is too obvi-ous, and to think that I was once a Democrat, until I met Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Donald J. Trump is a peo-ple person like I am, and he speaks the peoples’ language. However, when this great president re-establishes our country, watch how many on the left take credit for it.

Donald J. Trump is a star, and has a star on the Holly-wood Walk of Fame. I am a graduate of radio and TV broadcasting and I under-stand everything he works for. He does not speak the left’s language — neither do I.

I am sure this will never get printed, but it will be printed in many other issues, so left-ies, keep on crying.

Democrats are now praising socialismWhen Alexandria Ocasio-

Cortez, a socialist congressio-nal candidate from New York, defeated the incumbent rep-resentative, she was immedi-ately heralded as the new standard bearer for the future Democratic ideology. Immedi-ately, even though she has not yet been elected to Congress (she will be), she has gone na-tionwide, espousing the vir-tues of socialism and endorsing candidates of the same ideology.

Other candidates like Zak Ringlestein, Senate candidate from Maine, also came aboard the socialist ideology, stating it’s the way to go. Other candi-dates nationwide are running on that platform.

Does anyone recall the in-dignation that Democrats demonstrated when Obama was accused of being a social-ist, even though every one of his actions clearly showed his socialist/communist slant? He did, after all, openly cam-paign on Karl Marx’s “wealth redistribution” Communist Manifesto ideology.

Republicans need to get the vote outA recent letter in the Chroni-

cle referred to a “nasty weapon” Republicans used to edge former Congresswoman Karen Thurman out of office. That weapon was gerryman-dering. The writer may not have been around when Re-publicans were being taught for many years how to gerry-mander by friendly Democrats.

Actually, it took a very strong effort by Republicans to break that stronghold.

Unfortunately, now that Re-publicans have the upper hand, many feel that sitting in monthly meetings is all they have to do to maintain a strong position.

Instead, all Republican or-ganizations should be identi-fying every Republican voter who skipped the primary to ensure that they show up for the general election. The next step would be to go after no party affiliates and other party members if we are to prevent a loss of the gains of the past two years. Let’s work to “Keep America Great.”

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

A resilient nation

reflectsThose younger than age

18 weren’t alive on September 11, 2001.

They entered a world far dif-ferent from those born prior to the terrorist attacks on our country.

Nearly 3,000 were killed when t e r r o r i s t - controlled, hi-jacked je ts slammed into New York City’s World Trade Cen-ter towers, the Pentagon and into the earth in Pennsylvania.

Today’s world is much dif-ferent than pre-9/11. An un-told number of security measures have been imple-mented, and some rights have taken a back seat to the need for national security.

Even memories as vivid as those caused by 9/11 begin to fade with time. For youths today, it was an event in-flicted on a generation they

were born to, not a part of. Their connection will come through what’s taught to, and shared with them.

That is why it’s so vital to convey both the evil and the

heroism of 9/11. All should have

an understanding of the loss and sacrifices Amer-ica endured.

All should know that tragedy can strike again.

All should know of Ameri-ca’s strength and resiliency.

On this anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, we should set aside our differences and re-member that we are one nation.

Sept. 11, 2001 — like the Dec. 7, 1942, the attack on Peal Harbor — is a day of in-famy that America can never forget.

Let today be both a day of reflection and shared understanding.

How much will these SROs cost?

Since each school in Citrus County will be staffed by an SRO, what is the estimated total cost per year? What are the odds of a shooting in a Citrus County school occurring?

Also, SROs will be armed with pistols which hold 17 bullets. Most of the group shootings happened with AK-47s. As a tax-payer, a number of us are curious.

Editor’s note: The contract between the school board and the sheriff’s office is for $2.5 million.

Can’t figure out what they’re doing

Driving down U.S. 19 today, Sunday morning, what an abso-lute disgrace. I don’t know who the heck is in charge of this pro-gram, or whatever it is even try-ing to do on U.S. 19. But if someone can please explain to me what the ultimate goal is of the (U.S.) 19-Grover Cleveland- Halls River Road intersection there, and whatever north and south mile or two of that, please put something in the Chronicle.

I agree about moving city hall

Reading today’s Chronicle (Aug. 28), I happened to read a letter written by Mr. Scott Davis of Crystal River. I totally agree

with Scott Davis regarding the placement of city hall in down-town Crystal River. That’s just a horrible location for city hall, OK?

The five points that Mr. Davis makes are spot on and I could probably add several myself, but we’ll just leave it at his five. Anyway, no city hall in downtown Crystal River. City hall should be probably right where it’s at. Just put it back a little bit further or raise it up a little bit. I mean, it’s a good location.

Thanks to a great volunteer

Congratulations to Sirod Drew for being named Volunteer of the Month for the month of Au-gust by the We Care Food Pantry.

Help us here in Hernando!

Tuesday, Sept. 4’s front page: Cooter Pond, they’re going to clean it up, and then “Bryant Park to get a major overhaul.” What’s it going to take for you coun-cilmen to help us little people over here in Lake Hernando? We need clean-ing up over here. Help us. You’re doing everybody but us. Do something with our park. We have families that like to use that park. Help us please, city council. Come on, Fred Hiers, get out here. Take a look at this park and see what a mess it is where the chil-dren have to swim and the broken benches and the burnt-out barbecue pits. Fred, you’re doing these stories. Get out here. It’s the same thing over and over — all promises. What a mess. Inverness — ev-erything’s for Inverness. It deserves the name of Cir-cus County because it is a three-ring circus here. If you’re not in, then you’re out.

Frank doesn’t work for you guysI’m calling Sound Off

about something that I see in the paper every few weeks. There’s some-body up in Hernando — or people in Hernando, the town — calling and complaining about Frank DiGiovanni. Give it a rest, please. How can I say this respectfully? Zip it. Frank DiGiovanni does not work for you, Hernando. You are an unincorporated town, not part of Inver-ness. You do not pay taxes to Inverness. What he does stays in Inver-ness. He has no authority over Hernando. If you wanted to have that, then become incorporated.

Need to crack down on speedersToday, Wednesday

(Aug. 28), between 3:10 and 3:20 p.m. this afternoon, heading west on (State Road) 44 by the RaceTrac gas station, I was on the inside lane. On the out-side lane next to me was a Ford Explorer sheriff’s unmarked vehi-cle. We were both doing the speed limit, around 45. Right between us comes a motorcycle passing between both of us and then within sec-onds, he was hitting 80 to 90 mph, leaving us in the dust. I thought for sure that patrol sheriff in that unmarked vehicle would have at least at-tempted to go after him and hopefully saved somebody’s life. But no, he did not even bother to turn on his lights, go after him or anything. There is too much of this going on in this county and in this town with mo-torcycles and other peo-ple speeding on the highways. And police offi-cers will pull over some-body because their blinker didn’t work or a light’s out or they ran over the line at a stop sign and then they give them a ticket and this, that and the other. Why not go after a speeder on a motorcycle passing in between two vehicles on a four-lane highway when they are speeding like an idiot?

They’re always wasting money

In response to the Opinion page, on page A10, Wednesday (Aug. 29), “Where are their priorities?”: The commissioners paid $400,000 for a study. Sir or ma’am or whoever you are, this isn’t something new. Their mind and their filter hasn’t been

changed. It’s clogged. They always throw money out for these studies. I mean I don’t know how they can pass a little test of any kind because they always get everybody else to do their job. $400,000 for a bicycle path? They ought to be ashamed.

We can do better, folks

$400,000 for a study for the bike trail? Are we seri-ous? It should not cost that much and we as taxpayers should be outraged over that. A feasibility study? Come on,

we’ve got to be able to do better than that and there has to be another com-pany that could do as good a feasibility study for less. I don’t care that it’s set aside in the tour-ism fund. We could put that money to better use. Shame on us.

Maybe you’re the problem here

I got a real laugh out of a call-in complaining he was a business owner that can’t find help (Aug. 29, “You people are all lazy”). He is probably like most employers that do not want to pay a liv-ing wage. I noticed that he did not say how much he was paying per hour. ... Try offering a decent job with decent wages and you won’t have a problem hiring anyone.

Cloth diapers are good enough

I saw in the Sound Off today about having to do away with plastic straws (Aug. 29, “You should start recycling more”). Well, I have another sug-gestion: Let’s do away with plastic bags at the grocery store, and, more importantly, do away with throwaway diapers. Do you know how many dia-pers are being used? I raised four children and I used cloth diapers and I don’t think that they need to be using throwaway di-apers and filling up the landfill.

California utility proposes wildfire safety measures

A California utility is vow-ing to replace 3,400 miles of overhead power lines with insulated wire to re-duce the risk of them spark-ing when hit by tree limbs or other objects.

Southern California Edi-son announced Monday that it aims to replace the lines by 2025 to align itself with legislation that Califor-nia lawmakers have sent to the governor to sign to pre-vent wildfires.

Sparking power lines are one of the leading causes of California’s wildfires. Wildfires have killed dozens of people and destroyed thousands of homes in re-cent years.

The legislation sparked debate because it also will allow another utility com-pany — Pacific Gas & Elec-tric — to raise electric rates to cover the costs of law-suits from last year’s deadly wildfires amid fears it could go bankrupt otherwise.

Judge appoints bank trustee for heiress’ millionsHONOLULU — A judge

has ruled that a 92-year-old Native Hawaiian heiress doesn’t have sufficient men-tal capacity to manage her $215-million trust.

The judge is appointing First Hawaiian Bank to serve as her trustee and is remov-ing the attorney who stepped in as trustee after she suf-fered a stroke last year.

Many Native Hawaiians consider Abigail Kawanana-koa a princess because she’s a descendant of the family that ruled Hawaii be-fore the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom. Her riches come from being the great-granddaughter of one of Hawaii’s largest landowners.

Tens of thousands of North Koreans rallied in the square in the final major event of the country’s 70th anniversary, an elaborate celebration that was focused on Korean unity a n d e c o n o m i c development and that deliberately downplayed the missiles and nuclear weapons that brought the North to the brink of conflict with the United States just one year ago.

Jonathan DrewAssociated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — Florence exploded into a potentially catastrophic Category 4 hurri-cane Monday as it closed in on North and South Carolina, car-rying winds up to 130 mph and water that could wreak havoc over a wide stretch of the east-ern United States later this week.

Communities along a stretch of coastline that’s vulnerable to rising sea levels due to cli-mate change prepared to evac-uate the storm, which forecasters expect to be close to Category 5 strength by Tues-day. The South Carolina gover-nor ordered the state’s entire coastline to be evacuated start-ing at noon Tuesday and pre-dicted that 1 million people would flee. And Virginia’s gov-ernor ordered a mandatory evacuation for some residents of low-lying coastal areas.

The storm’s first effects were already apparent on bar-rier islands as dangerous rip currents hit beaches and sea-water flowed over a state highway.

For many people, the chal-lenge could be finding a safe refuge: If Florence slows to a crawl just off the coast, it could bring torrential rains to the Appalachian mountains and as far away as West Virginia, causing flash floods,

mudslides and other danger-ous conditions.

A warm ocean is the fuel that powers hurricanes, and Florence will be moving over waters where temperatures are peaking near 85 degrees, hurricane specialist Eric Blake wrote. And with little wind shear to pull the storm apart, Florence’s hurricane wind field was expected to ex-pand over the coming days, in-creasing its storm surge and inland wind threats.

By 5 p.m. Monday, Florence was centered about 1,170 miles east-southeast of Cape Fear, North Carolina, and moving west at 13 mph. Its center will move between Bermuda and the Bahamas on Tuesday and Wednesday and approach the coast of South Carolina or North Carolina on Thursday, the National Hurricane Cen-ter said.

Hurricane Olivia approaches Hawaii

HONOLULU — Hurricane Olivia will likely approach Hawaii as either a high-end tropical storm or a low-end hurricane in coming days, weather forecasters said Monday.

“The difference between the two is very slight, so we really need to prepare as if it’s a hurricane,” said Maureen Bal-lard, a meteorologist at the Central Pa-cific Hurricane Center.

Olivia was 435 miles east of Hilo and moving 9 mph at 11 a.m. local time. It had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.

Forecasters said Olivia may drop 10 to 15 inches of rain on the Big Island and Maui County, though some areas could get 20 inches.

“We don’t need any more hurricanes. Let’s hope it just passes us, but that’s un-likely,” he said.

NEW YORK — CBS re-vealed Monday that it set aside $120 million in sev-erance for ousted chief ex-ecutive Leslie Moonves. But whether he sees a penny of it is one of the tough decisions the net-work faces after his resig-nation over sexual misconduct accusations.

Despite Moonves’ an-nounced exit Sunday,

outside lawyers hired by CBS continue to investi-gate allegations against him and Jeff Fager, the top executive at “60 Minutes.” In a regulatory filing with the Securities and Ex-change Commission, CBS said it will release the sev-erance money if the inves-tigation finds there was no cause for him to be fired.

Any payment to Moonves is likely to anger the #MeToo movement that

has brought down other powerful men in Holly-wood and the media, in-cluding Hollywood studio boss Harvey Weinstein, NBC’s Matt Lauer and CBS’ Charlie Rose.

As head of television’s most popular network, Moonves was among the most powerful and richest executives in the TV in-dustry, making a total of nearly $140 million over the last two years.

His exit was announced hours after The New Yorker posted a detailed story alleging misconduct. In two stories posted this summer, a total of 12 women have said they were mis-treated by the TV mogul, including forced oral sex, groping and retaliation if they resisted. Moonves has denied the charges, though he said he had consensual relations with some of the women.

CBS sets aside $120 million for Les Moonves, but will he see it?

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration or-dered the closure of the Palestinian diplomatic

mission in Washington on Monday and threatened sanctions against the Inter-national Criminal Court if it pursues investigations against the U.S., Israel, or other allies. The moves are likely to harden Palestinian

resistance to the U.S. role as a peace broker.

The administration cited the refusal of Palestinian leaders to enter into peace talks with Israel as the rea-son for closing the Palestin-ian Liberation Organization

office, although the U.S. has yet to present its plan to re-solve the Israel-Palestinian conflict. The Palestinians accused the administration of dismantling decades of U.S. engagement with them.

Shortly after the

State Department an-nouncement, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, launched a broad-side against The Hague-based International Criminal Court. Bolton

declared that the ICC “is already dead” to the U.S. He also threatened the court and its staff with sanctions if it proceeds with investigations into al-leged war crimes by Amer-ican troops in Afghanistan.

Associated PressFlorida head coach Dan Mullen, center, runs onto the field with his players Sept. 1 before a game against Charleston Southern in Gainesville. Florida coach Dan Mullen never intended to call his players soft after a 27-16 loss to Kentucky. Mullen said he was referring to how they played while losing to the Wildcats for the first time in more than three decades.

Mark Long AP sports writer

GAINESVILLE — Florida coach Dan Mullen wants to be clear: He never intended to call his players soft after a 27-16 loss to Kentucky.

Mullen said Monday he was referring to how they played while losing to the Wildcats for the first time in more than three decades .

“It wasn’t a challenge on their character,” Mullen said Mon-day. “I’m not calling them soft people. I said our lack of tough-ness was in our performance. And that gets back to practice and your mindset and all that.

“I’m not saying, ‘You guys

aren’t tough. You’re a bunch of softies.’ I’m saying our perfor-mance wasn’t very physical and tough. And the only way you change that is by changing the habits of what you do at practice.”

Mullen said repeatedly after the game Saturday that a lack of physicality was the biggest issue for Florida (1-1), which dropped its first Southeastern Conference opener since 2004.

The Gators got whipped on both lines of scrimmage, allow-ing 303 yards rushing and fail-ing to establish much of a ground game.

“They came and slapped us in the mouth,” said defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson,

who incorrectly predicted a 32nd consecutive victory in the series. “We are going to respond. Trust me, we are going to respond.”

The Gators host Colorado State (1-2) on Saturday. It’s a fit-ting matchup considering Flor-ida is in this position partly because the school hired Jim McElwain away from the Rams in December 2014.

McElwain brought two assis-tants with him from Fort Col-lins, Colorado, with the first one being strength and condi-tioning coordinator Mike Kent.

Players, athletic director Scott Stricklin and even McEl-wain blamed Kent for the

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Tony Finau has been named to the Ryder Cup team, the final pick by U.S. captain Jim Furyk.

Finau joins Bryson DeCham-beau, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods as Furyk’s four wild-card selections. Finau has

11 top-10s this season, includ-ing three in majors.

His appeal is that he makes a lot of birdies, which is criti-cal in match play.

“He has an unbelievable body of work this year,” Furyk said. “All those top-10 finishes, the play in big championships and the majors, and then his current form, a second, a fourth and an eighth in the playoffs. He checked a lot of boxes and made it impossible not to pick him.”

The Ryder Cup team includes three rookies (Finau, DeCham-beau and Justin Thomas) and nine major champions (with 31 total major victories).

The matches are Sept. 28-30 outside Paris.

Bradley holds off Rose in playoff to win at Aronimink

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Keegan Bradley held off Jus-tin Rose in a sudden-death play-off to win the rain-plagued BMW Championship for his first PGA Tour victory in six years.

Bradley winds up with his first victory since the 2012 WGC- Bridgestone Invitational. He gets a trip to Maui to start next year for the winners-only Sentry Tour-nament of Champions.

DETROIT — Sam Darnold made a stellar debut despite throwing a pick-6 on his first NFL pass and the New York Jets intercepted five passes while rout-ing the Detroit Lions 48-17 in their sea-son opener Monday night.

The 21-year-old Darnold became the youngest quarterback to start a season opener since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, and he got off to an inauspicious start. Quandre Diggs intercepted his ill-ad-vised lob down the left sideline on the first play from scrimmage and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown 20 seconds into the game.

The former USC star shook off the rough start by completing 16 of 21 passes

for 198 yards and two touchdowns. He helped the Jets set a franchise record for points on the road, surpassing the 47 points they scored in 1967 against the Boston Patriots, and outplayed 30-year-old Matthew Stafford.

Stafford threw four interceptions — one shy of his career high — and left the game briefly in the third quarter after being hit from the front and back. He was mercifully taken out of the game midway through the fourth quarter and replaced by Matt Cassel with Detroit down 31. Stafford was 27 of 46 for 286 yards and a TD pass to Golden Tate early in the third quarter to tie it at 17.

The Jets dominated in all phases. They scored 31 straight in the third quarter to pull away, sending Detroit’s fans for the exits and setting off a jolly

green party in the Motor City.It was the highest-scoring third quar-

ter in team history and trailed only the 34-point second quarter the Brett Favre- led team scored in 2008 against Arizona.

New York scored on the ground and through the air, on defense and on a punt return. The Jets could’ve scored even more in the final minutes but turned the ball over on downs after kneeling to take time off the clock. Darnold flipped the ball to a referee after the final kneel down, and the official gave it right back before shaking the rookie’s hand.

It was a miserable coaching debut for Detroit’s Matt Patricia. New NFL head coaches dropped to 0-6 in Week 1, with Oakland’s Jon Gruden the group’s final hope for an opening victory in the Mon-day nightcap.

T H I S DAT E I N B A S E B A L L

SEPT. 111912: Eddie Collins set a major league record with six stolen bases for the Philadelphia Athletics in a 9-7 win over the Detroit Tigers. Collins stole six more in a game on Sept. 22.1949: The New York Yankees sent 18 men to the plate in the third inning of the first game of a doubleheader against Washington. In the 50-minute half-inning the Senators walked a major-league record 11 batters as the Yankees went on to a 20-5 win. New York won the second game 2-1 in one hour and 22 minutes.1974: It took the St. Louis Cardinals 25 innings: seven hours, four minutes: to beat the New York Mets. A record 202 batters went to the plate, Felix Millan and John Milner had 12 appearances apiece.1985: Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds became the all-time hit leader with his 4,192nd hit to break Ty Cobb’s record. Rose lined a 2-1 pitch off San Diego pitcher Eric Show to left-center field for a single in the first inning.1996: San Diego’s Ken Caminiti broke his own major league record by homering from both sides of the plate in a game for the fourth time this season. In a 6-5 win over Pittsburgh, Caminiti homered left-handed in the fifth inning, hitting a two-run shot. 2008: Albert Pujols drove in his 100th run with a sixth-inning double in the Cardinals’ 3-2 loss to the Cubs, becoming only the third player in major league history to reach the milestone in his first eight seasons.2014: Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton sustained multiple facial fractures, dental damage and cuts that needed stitches after being hit in the face by a pitch. Stanton was hit under the left eye by a fastball from Mil-waukee’s Mike Fiers in the fifth inning of a 4-2 loss.

team’s struggles last season, saying Kent failed to develop an adequate weightlifting program.

The Gators spent the last six months raving about new strength coach Nick Savage , and they expected so see instant results this fall. But Kentucky proved Florida still has some room for growth in the trenches.

“Change takes time,” Mullen cautioned. “If you don’t like how things are, you got to change. Well, change is uncomfortable. How-ever you want to change is uncomfortable be-cause you’re kind of used to this way and I’m used to it and I can’t do it how I’m used to doing it.”

Mullen plans to address the team’s issues with tougher, more physical practices.

The Gators would like to quick turnaround, especially since the Rams beat another SEC opponent, Arkansas, by seven points last week.

“It comes from an internal drive,” Mullen said. “I mean, for us to be successful it has to come internally. I can tell if it’s fake. When it is fake, you’ll know. ... Sometimes, unfortu-nately, you might not know until Saturday. I’ve learned that lesson as a head coach.

“You think, ‘Boy, this team’s saying and doing the right things.’ And then you get punched in the nose and we reacted a little bit differently than what we were saying and how we were pretending to act during the week when reality hit us right in the face.”

Florida will pay Colorado State $2 million to make the trip to the Swamp. The arrange-ment was part of a $7 million buyout to lure McElwain away from the Rams. McElwain agreed to pay Colorado State $2 million, with Florida chipping in $3 million and adding the payday game.

McElwain and Florida parted ways last Oc-tober , with the coach agreeing to a $7.5 mil-lion buyout.

No one expected the coach to be gone by the time his former team rolled into town for the McElwain Bowl.

“I’ll be honest. I look at who we got to play and let’s go find a way to go play them,” Mul-len said. “So I never really thought of it that way.”

For Mullen, the week is all about how his players respond.

“I want to see now that we got punched in the face with a little bit of adversity how we handle that aspect,” he said. “Are we still tak-ing the steps forward necessary to be successful?”

NOTES: Mullen confirmed that cornerback Marco Wilson will miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his left knee. ... Mullen said run-ning back Adarius Lemons has left the team but will remain in school to maintain his eligibility before transferring. ... Mullen expects linebacker David Reese and cornerback C.J. McWilliams to return from injuries against Colorado State.

Veteran driver Wayne Anderson began his racing career at Cit-

rus County Speedway, and after winning Citrus County Speedway’s Full Throttle 100 Saturday night, the veteran driver of over 30 years announced he was officially retiring.

“I don’t know what to say,” Wayne Anderson said from victory lane. “You guys just witnessed my last race. I’m retiring after this. I wanted to go out on top. I’ve had my time. I’ve got two great kids. I couldn’t even race tonight without them. I mean, they worked for two weeks on this thing. Between them and my wife, it’s just time. I wanted to go out on top and tonight is it. I started my racing career here, and now I am going to end it here.”

Saturday night’s Full Throttle 100 was full of young, talented Super Late Model drivers from across the state of Florida converged on Citrus County Speedway to com-pete in the second annual Full Throttle 100, but in the end it was veteran driver Anderson who col-lected the $10,000 prize.

As for the car, “I had a very consistent car all throughout practice,” he said. “But when they threw the green flag it wasn’t the same car. We had to keep the tires under it.”

Anderson started ninth in the 25-car field and slowly worked his way through the field, saving his tires and staying out of trouble as the field worked their way to the half-way point of the 100-lap event.

With each lap and each restart, Anderson posi-tioned himself so that when the time was right he could make his move to the front of the field. But by the time he was in posi-tion his radios went out and he had to refer back to his early years of competi-tion before radios were in race cars.

“It was like a flashback for me,” he said.

It did not deter the 30-plus year racing veteran

and Anderson soon found himself outside on the front row after a quick re-start on lap No. 62.

Four laps and one cau-tion later, Anderson was in command of the race.

“The outside groove was the place to be,” he said.

Anderson went on to lead the remaining 34 laps to win the event with over a half-second advantage over pole-sitter Nick Neri.

“I was outside on the last restart and got a shot from (Jesse Dutilly) in the rear,” Nick Neri said. “If it wasn’t for that we’d have had a good shot at this thing.”

Anthony Sergi finished third after following An-derson for most of the event.

“Anthony Sergi could have abused me but he didn’t It was a clean race.”

Dutilly and LK Grimm rounded out the top five.

Mike Bresnahan re-turned to local race action, dedicating the race to his father Pat Bresnahan who recently lost his battle with cancer, and finished sixth for his efforts.

Daniel Keene Jr., who has won the last three Super Late Model events

at the Inverness venue fin-ished seventh.

Devin McLeod, Dustin Dunn and Aaron William-son rounded out the top ten.

Other notable driver fin-ishes included current points leader Keith Rog-gen (14th), Chris Fontaine (21st after having to race in the B-main in order to get to the main event), and two-time local winner Pat-rick Starapoli (24th).

“There was a lot of young talent behind me,” Anderson said of the field.

In other racing action, Jade Hubert topped Jim Smith in the 25-lap Leg-ends Cars feature. Brad Perex finished third ahead of Steve Griffin.

Chad Cushing beat Brian Potvin to the finish of the Mini Stock feature by 0.368 seconds. Thomas Peet, Deric Sharrone and Austin Durnham rounded out the top five, respectively.

A miscue ended the 25-lap Pure Stock event pre-maturely after just nine laps. When the checkered flag fell, James Peters was in the lead with Larry Wel-ter Jr. by his side. The dif-ference between the two

cars was a mere 0.009 sec-onds. Wes Wilson, Sport Wilson and Thomas Meyer rounded out the top five.

Saturday night’s race card includes the return of the Wheel Man Sportsman Series, Dons Plumbing Pure Stocks, McCall Ser-vice Mini Stocks, Modified Minis, and the Liberty Tax Street Stocks. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS — Brad Keselowski snatched victory from Denny Ham-lin in the final laps of the Brickyard 400 on Monday to give Roger Penske a sweep this year at India-napolis Motor Speedway.

Will Power won the Indi-anapolis 500 in May for Team Penske’s 17th victory in that event. Despite all the organizational success at Indy, no Penske driver had been able to win NA-SCAR’s Brickyard 400.

Keselowski, an after-thought most of this sea-son, used fresher tires and timely late cautions to put Penske in victory lane. Ke-selowski has now won two consecutive races headed into NASCAR’s playoffs. The victories are big ones, too: the Southern 500 last week and now the Brick-yard 400, two of NASCAR’s crown jewel events.

Keselowski and his No. 2 crew climbed the Indi-anapolis fence to celebrate, a move made famous by Team Penske driver Helio Castroneves, a three-time Indianapolis 500 winner.

Keselowski wasn’t a fac-tor until two late cautions gave the 2012 series cham-pion a chance to use fresher tires to chase down Hamlin. The race went green with three laps to go and Clint Bowyer, in second, spun his tires. Keselowski darted around Bowyer into

second, then caught Ham-lin. The two cars touched a handful of times as they raced for the lead, and Kes-elowski finally surged ahead with a little more than one lap remaining.

He won by 0.904 seconds over Erik Jones. Hamlin was third 1.703 seconds behind. The victory was the first for Ford at India-napolis since 1999.

Steady rain for three days in Indianapolis washed out all activity sur-rounding NASCAR’s regular-season finale and Monday was a double-header with the Xfinity Series, won by Justin All-gaier, followed by the Brickyard. At stake was a wild-card slot in the 16-driver playoff field, available only to a first-time winner this season.

Jamie McMurray gave it a late go and challenged Bowyer for position on a restart with 12 laps re-maining. McMurray couldn’t get past Bowyer, and Keselowski used the opportunity to pick off an-other spot and put himself in position to make a run.

Hamlin was frustrated by an accident between Landon Cassill and Jeffery Earnhardt with seven laps remaining that gave Kesel-owski a shot at the win.

Kyle Busch won the reg-ular season championship and Jimmie Johnson and Alex Bowman claimed the final two open spots in the playoff field.

Mr. Smith is a 65-year-old gentleman. I have

been following him for several years for a blood problem.

He is a very friendly person, but he has one bad habit. He loves his drinks. He developed a sore throat and an ear-ache. He was referred to an ENT doctor. His workup showed he has throat cancer.

Alcohol drinking is one of the common problems in our county. I commonly hear the comment that it is just wine or just beer, so, drinking beer or wine does not matter, it is just for fun.

The federal govern-ment’s dietary guidelines define moderate alcohol drinking as up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men. Heavy alco-hol drinking is defined as having more than three drinks on any day or more than seven drinks per week for women and more than four drinks on any day or more than 14 drinks per week for men.

Everyone knows drink-ing can damage the liver, but how many know that alcohol is a common cause of cancer in the U.S.? Alcohol has been shown to cause cancer of the head and neck, esoph-agus, liver, breast, colon and rectum.

The research evidence indicates the more alco-hol a person drinks — particularly the more alcohol a person drinks regularly over time — the higher his or her risk of developing an alcohol- associated cancer. Alco-hol causes about 20,000 cancers yearly in the U.S.

When you drink alco-hol, your body breaks it down into a chemical called acetaldehyde. It damages your DNA and prevents your body from repairing the damage. DNA is the cell’s “instruc-tion manual” that controls a cell’s normal growth and function.

When DNA is damaged, a cell can begin growing out of control and create a cancer tumor.

School is back in session and that means after-school sports are also starting up.

Soccer and football are common sports that put our children at risk for collision and injury including concussions. Besides the obvious soft tissue injury, headache and confusion can result from a concussion. Dizziness is the sec-ond most common symptom of direct trauma to the skull that results from in-jury which can disrupt brain function.

Statistics show that 5 out of every 1,000 pediatric emergency room visits in the United States results in a diagnosis of

concussion. The total volume of cases approaches 150,000 ER vis-its per year in the United States.

Most of the time, a concussion injury will last less than a month; however, 1 to 3 pa-tients will go on to have symptoms that can last for several months, and this in-cludes balance problems.

Trauma to the head can result in trauma to the peripheral vestib-ular system (inner ear) that can cause these protracted symptoms.

Fortunately, most of the time when concussion injury occurs there is not dizziness; but dizzi-ness can be present at the very beginning and could be a

predicting factor on how long the concussion recovery period lasts.

Evaluation can be done on field by properly trained people, by EMS personnel and sometimes evaluation is done by physicians in the emergency room setting who can enlist the help of a spe-cialist, if needed.

Evaluation of the patient can be done by examination and cer-tain diagnostic testing as well as imaging (X-ray , CAT scan and MRI scan). Sometimes, the prob-lem is not noted immediately and when it does appear it’s generally treated by a pediatrician or a neurologist or sports medicine doctor if they are available to the patient.

Occasionally, the dizziness only shows up if one does something such as getting up or moving around. There can be the type of

dizziness that is there constantly without any triggers causing it to begin.

Treatment and management can be simple and may only need time and rest to recover. More se-rious injuries, including frac-tures, can heal on their own but will likely be more closely moni-tored and very infrequently will need surgical intervention. Chronic dizziness and imbalance situations may need balance ther-apy and rehabilitation to retrain the balance pathways between the brain and inner ear.

Early diagnosis and correct identification of the problem most likely will resolve in com-plete recovery, but there is always a slight chance of permanent damage.

wealth of information on wom-en’s health and fitness will be freely available at the 12th an-nual Women’s HEALTH and

FITNESS Expo. This year’s event will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22, at the National Guard Armory at 8551 W. Venable St. in Crystal River.

The expo is the brainchild of the Busi-ness Women’s Alliance of the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce, said Re-becca Martin, BWA team leader for expo promotions.

“BWA was formed in 2006,” Martin said. “At one of the early luncheons we

surveyed the 100-plus ladies in atten-dance about what type of programming would be most valuable. Health and fit-ness won, hands-down.”

“In the United States, women are re-sponsible for about 75 percent of house-hold medical and health care decisions and purchases,” Martin said.

The purpose of the event is to educate women and those around them about their health, fitness and wellness. “Through women, we’ll help make Citrus County a healthier community,” she said.

More than 60 exhibitors are expected to draw a thousand or more attendees this year, Martin said.

The proceeds from the event will con-tinue to fund scholarships for female stu-

dents in Citrus County.“We’ve been able to provide $100,000 in

scholarships over the years from pro-ceeds from our networking luncheons and, in large part, from the expo,” Martin said. “In the next cycle, we’ll open schol-arship applications to female students at Citrus, Crystal River and Lecanto high schools, Seven Rivers Christian School, plus Withlacoochee Technical College.”

Though the expo targets primarily fe-males, health and fitness are not gender specific. Therefore, “Everyone is in-vited,” Martin said. “Women, bring your men and kids, too. We’ll have outdoor and indoor exhibits.”

Why would I want to hold onto my two lower canines in-

stead of just taking them out and having a denture made? I am so tired of dealing with my teeth and my dentist keeps telling me to reconsider my deci-sion to have a denture made. I am so happy with my upper denture, why wouldn’t my lower be the same? Please help. Thanks.

A: I understand right where you are with this. I have had so many people in your exact situation. It is far more common than you think. For starters, let me commend your den-tist. He or she is trying to do what is best for you.

I have a feeling that the real issue here is a lack of communication.

I believe in offering the patient all of their op-tions, along with the ad-vantages and disadvantages of each of them. In fact, holding on to your canines is the best thing to do because it allows you to use those two teeth as sup-ports for a par-tial denture that he or she can make you. A full denture has nothing to help hold it in, other than the way is made to fit the surround-ing tissues. This is a prob-lem for most people.

An upper denture usu-ally gets a seal in the very back of the mouth where the hard palate ends and

the soft palate begins. This seal is what makes a full upper denture so suc-cessful. Even if adhesives need to be used, they

have a way of staying put lon-ger to do their job.

Even though holding on to those teeth is the best thing to do from a dentist’s stand-point, it may not be the best thing to do from the pa-tient’s point of

view. I have seen situa-tions where cost was the deciding factor. This con-sideration is usually the easiest to handle.

I have also seen situa-tions like yours, where you feel you are just done

with dealing with teeth. I usually try to get a feel if the patient is ready to ac-cept regular care from this point forward (many patients in this situation have neglected their teeth for some time). If the propensity is to ac-cept regular office visits and do the necessary home care, I usually lean toward saving the teeth. If, on the other hand, there is trepidation with this, I usually lean toward removal for fear of having a problem in the near future.

Most patients would feel negatively about this. If this is the case, it is usually best to move to-ward the full denture knowing that the backup plan of using implants to hold in the denture is al-ways available if they get

frustrated with a full lower denture.

In short, it is important to review each situation on its own merits. Each patient has a different circumstance to deal with. What is right for one, may not be right for another.

Once again, communi-cation is the key to suc-cess. It is so important to listen and respond with meaningful dialogue.

Once this happens, things always clear up.

I hope I have helped you with your situation. Best of luck.

Qigong is a part of tradi-tional Chinese medicine and is a cousin of acupuncture. It reduces stress, dissolves chronic fatigue, and combines flowing movements, gentle breathing and mindfulness. People have had tremendous results from practicing Qigong.

Some examples include healing from major depres-sion, back pain, anxiety at-tacks and balance issues.

Along with their medi-cal services, I know schools and athletic asso-ciations are making every effort to reduce head in-jury. Together they are likely to reduce the fre-quency, but as long as we enjoy team sports there is always a chance of colli-sion, so we need to be

ready to address that when it occurs.

I would like to thank the American Academy of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery for the information that was de-rived for this article.

Also, alcohol affects ab-sorption of certain im-portant nutrients and vitamins, and that can also increase the risk of cancer.

Do not make an excep-tion for red wine. All types of alcoholic drinks, including red and white wine, beer, cocktails and liquor, are linked with cancer. The more you drink, the higher your cancer risk. Having one drink at dinner or a party isn’t likely to cause you much harm. But routinely

having more than 1 or 2 drinks per day could raise your cancer risk.

My patient understands and, hopefully, he will quit drinking completely. This has been a big strug-gle for him. He will un-dergo chemotherapy and radiation. He has a chance for cure.

New this year will be the Ac-tive Living Outdoors Zone out-doors located in front of the Armory. Here, visitors can talk to experts and give things a try, Martin said. For example:

How do you find the best-fit bicycle? And what’s an Ellip-tiGo? Ask Sherry Bechtel, owner of Inverness Bicycle and Fitness.

What are some great exer-cises for busy people? Ask the YMCA wellness team about it, and try some.

Is stand-up paddle-boarding easy for a beginner to do, and how do you know where to go in a kayak around Citrus County? Ask Dave Perry, owner of Hunter Springs Kayak.

What’s the Silver Sneakers program and what kind of exer-cises do they do? Ask Jeanette

McGinley or the Silver Sneak-ers instructor at the Ultimate Health Plans booth. (Visitors are advised to check their health insurance before the expo to see if it covers Silver Sneakers.)

The LifeSouth Community Blood Center Bloodmobile will also be set up outside, Martin said, “and they declared a blood supply emergency, so I hope people will donate. LifeSouth is the sole blood supplier for both of our local hospitals,” she said.

Nature Coast EMS will also have an ambulance outside and will be teaching CPR at an in-door booth, Martin said.

Also outside, Save Crystal River, Inc. — the nonprofit group behind the cleanup of King’s Bay — will be selling burgers and hot dogs. The pro-ceeds will go toward the cleanup effort.

Indoors on the Wellness Stage, various health and fit-ness experts will give 30-minute

presentations which actively engage their audiences on a range of interesting topics throughout the day.

“Be sure to check the sched-ule when you arrive,” Martin said. These sessions will in-clude self-defense techniques; hands-on nutrition tips; how to interact with a loved one who has dementia; alternative medi-cine; and chair yoga.

“This year’s Wellness Zone exhibitors include experts on diabetes; heart attack and stroke warning signs; post-car-diac-event support, cardiac ex-ercise; hearing health/audiology; eye care and retinal screening; cancer prevention, screening and treatment; surgi-cal services, primary care, der-matology, and OB/GYN services; exercise; pharmacy services; and more,” Martin said.

“In the Zen Room, you’ll find knowledgeable professionals to talk about alternative medicine, essential oils, hormone therapy,

yoga and wellness, chiropractic care and more,” Martin said.

Other topics represented will include home health care ser-vices; health insurance; as-sisted living and memory care; wills and trusts; how to save money on medications; and sup-port and resources for individu-als with heart disease and their families.

“You can get your flu shot and take advantage of blood pres-sure screenings, oxygen satura-tion, diabetes screening, retina screenings, hearing screenings, spinal screening, functional movement screening and facial skin analysis,” Martin said. “In-structors from Citrus County Jazzercise will give demonstra-tions and talk about how to get moving, starting with beginner moves for enjoyment and better health.”

Drawings will be held for a dozen or more gift baskets with a health-wellness theme, Mar-tin said. The baskets valued at

$150 or more have been do-nated by area businesses.

“Be sure to find BWA’s gift basket drawing table in the Wellness Zone,” Martin said. “Complete our survey on how you heard about the expo and register to win one of these great gift baskets.”

The first 500 people through the door will also receive free goody bags filled with different items from expo sponsors.

“Women fulfill many roles in their lifetime — from student to career woman to friend to mother to wife to caregiver,” Martin said. “The Citrus County Chamber of Commerce Busi-ness Women’s Alliance Women’s HEALTH and FITNESS Expo was created to be all about you.”

Weight-loss surgery support, seminars

Inverness Surgical Associates recently began offering a bi-monthly weight loss surgery support group. The group pro-vides new patients — or longtime pa-tients who are trying to get back on track — with a support system to share helpful information and experiences. Patients who regularly attend a bariatric support group are more successful in their weight loss journey than those who don’t attend. This group helps patients who have un-dergone any bariatric procedure get the support they need to stay motivated and is led by a nutritionist.

The group meets at Inverness

nnie and Tim’s United Bluegrass Band is still going strong all around

the community. They were in con-cert on a recent Sunday at St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Crystal River.

From St. Anne’s was Victor Hernandez, the lead vocalist and emcee who played the guitar, and Mary Jane Stroud, who played the violin. From St. Timo-thy Lutheran Church, Jackie Gregg played the guitar. From Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, retired Pastor David Bradford played the harmonica and the mandolin, his wife Phyllis played the bass, and Rick Minster, the dobro. All are volunteers. They entertain regularly in several local nursing homes, as well as entertaining at a fundraising concert for the annual vacation Bible school.

Following the opening prayer by the Rev. Bradford, the group kicked off the concert with “Fol-low the Light,” with Bradford on harmonica and vocalizing by Her-nandez, with telling lines like, “Follow the light, it will lead you home.”

The familiar classic bluegrass piece, “Life is Like a Mountain Railroad,” began with a vocal by Bradford with lines like, “Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail and you’ll meet the superintendent, God the Father and the son.”

“More Love, More Power,” with vocalizing by Hernandez and gen-tle mandolin playing by Bradford, brought moving lyrics (my per-sonal favorite of this afternoon

concert).Phyllis Bradford and

Jackie Gregg gave solo voices to the beautiful, popular gospel favorite of many, “I’d Rather Have Jesus.” David Bradford’s harmonica shone and the a capella ending of the piece with “I’d rather be true to His Holy name than be king of a vast do-main,” brought ap-plause, applause, applause!

Hernandez gently sang “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior,” with “While on others thou art calling, do not pass me by. Mend my broken spirit, hear my humble cry,” concluding with acapella vocalizing and Brad-ford’s amazing harmonica playing. David Bradford and Hernandez shared the spotlight famously with “Talk About Suffering Here Below.”

A sing-along followed, and we were royally entertained by Rick Martin on the sobro. We sang “Rise and Shine, Children of the Lord.”

“Just a Closer Walk With Thee,” often recorded by numerous art-ists, was next. Familiar lines have comforted many a soul through the years.

My mother’s favorite, “In the Garden,” was next.

Great harmonizing was heard with “Do Lord, Do Lord, Oh Do

Remember Me,” a classic blue-grass gospel tune which ends with: “Look away beyond the blue. I’ve got a home in glory land that out-shines the sun.”

The closing piece was a favorite, the often-requested, “I Have De-cided to Follow Jesus,” with its telling closing line: “No turning back. No turning back.”

Encore pieces brought great ap-plause. Bradford was on harmon-ica and vocals on the hauntingly beautiful “Blessed Jesus Hold My Hand.” Hernandez vocalized on “Lord of the Dance” (stating that it is his favorite song). Bradford sang “He’s the King of All Kings and Lord of Lords” with wife Phyllis. On a roll, the group continued with the beautiful “Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace,” as a solo for Hernandez. We heard “Kneel at the Cross, Christ Will Meet You There,” as a solo for Phyllis Bradford with David on mandolin.

It has been said that the group always closes with Bradford lead-ing the group in “I’ve Been Listen-ing all Night Long to Hear One Sinner Pray,” acapella, with all hands folded in prayer.

Following the concert, we were invited to the fellowship hall for ice cream sundaes and cookies, hosted by the St. Anne’s Episcopal Church Women.

Ruth Levins participates in a va-riety of projects around the commu-nity. Let her know about your group’s upcoming activities by writ-ing her at P.O. Box 803, Crystal River, FL 34423.

Special to the ChronicleJames A. Touchton of Boy Scout Troop 415 recently completed his Eagle Project at the Crystal River Archaeology State Park. Touchton planned, raised funds, built and installed three benches and three signs for the Crystal Cove Trail with help from family, other scouts and their parents. By working together, excess brush was removed from the trail, branches and trees were trimmed and small viewpoints were opened along the waterways for those who use the trail. To fund his project, Touchton solicited community business for donations of supplies and cash. The Crystal Cove Trail is a 1.7-mile outdoor trail full of nature and waterways. There is a dock from which to launch canoes and kayaks, waterways for fishing and several trails on which enjoy a day seeing nature and maybe even have a picnic. Pictured with Touchton, left, is Crystal River Archaeology State Park Park Services Specialist Marla Chancey.

18 September 9 - 15, 2018 Viewfinder Citrus County (FL) ChroniCLe

In so many bridge deals, if you count correctly and draw the logi-cal conclusions, you will find the best declarer-play or defense. At other times, educated guesswork will suffice.

In this deal, South is in four spades. West leads the diamond seven, and East wins with the ace. What happens after that?

When an opponent opens with a pre-empt, and you are planning on

entering the auction, assume your partner has six or seven points and act accordingly. So, South jumps straight to four spades, which un-derstandably ends the auction. (At this level, a takeout double an-nounces at least two places to play.)

At trick two, it might look tempt-ing for East to shift to his singleton heart. However, even if West does have the spade ace, that will pro-duce only three defensive tricks: one diamond, one spade and one heart ruff. South will probably have the remainder. It is better for East to switch to the club jack. If South covers, West will win with the ace, cash the queen and play a third round, hoping East can ruff. Or, if South plays low, West will overtake with his queen, cash the ace and lead another club.

After South ruffs the third club, he draws trumps and must find the heart queen.

There is the guaranteed method. East is known to have started with two spades, at least three clubs from the play and seven diamonds from the bidding. He has at most one heart.

Alternatively, South adopts the “easy” method. Because East has seven diamonds and West has two, West is an 11-to-6 favorite to hold the heart queen.

8 p.m. on # %The Great American Read

Continuing an initiative that was launched last May, Mer-edith Vieira returns to host “Fall Kick-Off,” the first of eight installments exploring books named in an online poll of readers. At the end of this first season, the country’s best loved novel will be revealed in a grand finale on Oct. 23. Titles

in contention range from the oldest submission, “Don Quix-ote” by Miguel de Cervantes, and other established classics to more current titles such as “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood.

9 p.m. on LThe Outpost

Talon, Janzo and Garret’s (Jessica Green, Anand De-sai-Barochia, Jake Stormoen) mutual quest to find the elusive Book of Names forces them to venture into forbidden territory where dangers lurk in every conceivable direction — and a few inconceivable ones — in a new episode called “Beyond the Wall.” Meanwhile, an army arrives at the gates to the Out-post. Imogen Waterhouse also stars.

9 p.m. on (HIST)

The 9/11 FloorsEach of the doomed World Trade Center towers comprised 110 floors, but this new two-hour documentary — premier-ing on the anniversary of the

2001 tragedy — gains much of its power through intimacy and specificity, by interviewing survivors who all were on a single floor in either the North or the South Tower. This ap-proach yields personal accounts that are startling in their detail, as with one group struggling to get a pregnant co-worker to safety.

10 p.m. on # %Frontline

A new episode called “Left Behind America” takes place mainly in Dayton, Ohio, a once-thriving city in America’s Upper Midwestern “rust belt” where more than one-third of its residents now live at or near the poverty level. Many other parts of the United States have largely rebounded from the devastation of the country’s most recent recession, yet Day-ton still struggles to attract jobs and better wages for its work force, many of whom share their personal stories.

10 p.m. on (USA)

The PurgeIn a new episode called “Take What’s Yours,” an increasing-ly ambivalent Jane (Amanda Warren) pauses for an internal debate over the inherent mo-rality of Purge as the hours count down to this year’s con-sequence-free descent into an-archy. Elsewhere, Miguel (Ga-briel Chavarria) goes searching for Pete the cop. Lee Tergesen and Jessica Garza also star.

10:15 p.m. on (BRAVO)

Flipping OutHouse flipper Jeff Lewis contin-ues to adjust to the demands of being a new father, relying on partner Gage Edward and loyal executive assistant Jenni Pulos — newly returned from her own maternity leave — to keep him on an even keel as this hit un-scripted series returns for its 11th season. Baby daughter Monroe now is the top priority for both her dads, so Jeff decides to take on fewer clients and flip prop-erties more efficiently — which proves easier said than done.

Dear Annie: Next month, I’m moving into an apartment that’s

smaller than my current one. So in the meantime, I’ve been going through all of my stuff, trying to purge anything I don’t use. I have been donat-ing a lot of clothes, books, DVDs, knickknacks and the like to Goodwill. I used to have trouble letting go of things be-cause of s e n t i -m e n t a l a t t a c h -ment, but after a f e w m o v e s , I’ve got-ten pretty good at d e t a c h -ing feel-ings from objects.

T h e one place where I’m running into problems is when it comes to gifts. Anything a friend or family member has given me, I have a hard time throwing away. I feel guilty. I think about the person excit-edly picking the thing out for me. For instance, my aunt al-ways sends me jewelry, but I only wear it when I see her, a couple of times a year. I don’t really wear much jewelry nor-mally. And my mom and dad have gotten me countless T-shirts from their travels over the years. They’re great T-shirts, but I must have over 30 T-shirts. My dresser draw-ers are overstuffed. But every time I put one of the T-shirts in my “donation” bags, I end up digging it out a few hours later. How can I get over this, Annie? — Can’t Give Away Gifts

Dear Can’t Give Away Gifts: Perhaps a little thought exer-cise will help you to clear this mental hurdle. Think of a gift you gave years ago to a loved one — your aunt, let’s say. Now think of that gift sitting on her closet shelf, gathering dust and giving her pangs of guilt every time she sees it. Would you want her to keep it just because you gave it to her? Of course not. You’d want her to donate it and make space for things she loves. And she’d probably want you to do the same. You might also let her know you have plenty of jewelry now, to save her from spending money on it in the future. As for the T-shirts from your parents, you could repurpose them into a quilt or simply keep one or two of your favorites and donate the rest.

Remember that just be-cause you don’t love a gift doesn’t mean you love the giver any less.

Dear Annie: I read your re-sponse to “Sad Stepmom,” who is concerned that her son, with a history of addic-tion, may be drinking and using drugs. Thank you for recommending that she re-turn to Al-Anon and also for saying that Al-Anon is not a program you graduate from.

In my 35 years of active in-volvement in Al-Anon, there have been many times when I’ve seen people return to a meeting after not coming for a long time. And none of them has ever said that it was just to pop in and see how we were doing and that life was going great.

Although I have not lived with active alcoholism in many years, actually decades, I attend meetings because I live in this world and still have to deal with others and myself. — Daphne F.

Dear Daphne: I’m glad to hear that Al-Anon has been of help to you over the years. At the risk of sounding like a bro-ken record, I’m going to use this opportunity to once again promote the benefits of Al-Anon for the families of those with addiction. Visit https://al-anon.org for more informa-tion and a database of meetings across the country.
