CRYSTAL RIVER — SandyPope’s seventh grade science classcompleted a project last week thatwas finger-lickin’ good.

Her Crystal River Middle Schoolseventh graders have been study-ing convergent and divergentboundaries, or landforms, and theirlesson ended last week with thestudents building edible models ofeach of three boundaries: conti-nent/continent, continent/ocean and ocean/ocean.

“We’ve been studying plate tec-tonics and how the Earth’s litho-sphere is made up of a bunch ofrigid plates. They’re floatingaround on the asthenosphere,which would explain why we havedifferent types of land forms likemountains, trenches, volcanoes, is-lands and various things,” she said.“Students are learning what thedifferent boundaries are and theyare now making plate boundaries,both convergent and divergent,

using food to make their models.” Pope gathered piles of Graham

Crackers, Hershey’s Kisses, choco-late chips, Twizzlers and other col-orful candies along with green,pink and blue cake icing and hadher students get to work creatingtheir boundaries using the tasty, ed-ible resources.

“The projects are very creative,”Pope said following the classroomexercise. “You can very easily tell,by the colors and shapes, what theirland forms are. I’m impressed!”

She said the hands-on lessonmakes a different and hopefullylasting impression on the students,more than just reading about it in atextbook.

“They can see it, they’ve heard itthrough the review, but now theyget to manipulate it and hold it —think about it in a different way,”she said. “If they have to recall thisat a later date, they may recall theirmodel and the tools they used tocreate it, like the Twizzlers for lavaor Kisses for mountains. It’s a dif-ferent way to get them to rememberthings using the sense of touch andtaste.”

Following each student’s com-pletion of their land form, the classof more than 20 teens slowlywalked from desk to desk, inspect-ing each other’s work, guessingwhich of the three convergentboundaries lay in front of them.

If the judges correctly guessedthe landform, the creator of thetreat was given permission to eattheir sweet yet messy project.

Bridget Spiddle used nearly adozen Hershey’s Kisses to create alandform, a massive mountainrange.

TALLAHASSEE — Freshoff a successful but con-tested effort last year to re-quire welfare applicants topass drug tests to collectbenefits, Rep. Jimmie T.Smith brought a pair of re-lated bills to the House Ap-propriations CommitteeWednesday and came away1 for 2.

Following concerns frommembers including fellowRepublicans, the commit-

tee rejecteda measure(SB 1205)that wouldhave al-lowed stateagencies torandomlydrug testemployees.On a closevote, thepanel re-jected the

proposal that critics fromboth parties said was fa-

cially unconstitutional.Smith, R-Inverness, had

better luck with another

measure (HB 813) thatwould require felony drugoffenders to show proof thatthey have undergone sub-stance abuse treatment be-fore collecting temporaryfederal aid. On a party-linevote, the panel approvedthe measure over the con-cerns of critics who say italso is unconstitutional.

Smith, who last yearsponsored a measure re-quiring applicants for Tem-porary Assistance forNeedy Families to pay for

and pass a drug screen thatwas thrown out by thecourts, dismissed concerns,and said the new bill sendsa strong message that tax-payer funds won’t be usedfor drug use.

Ruling sides with hospital boardMIKE WRIGHT

Staff Writer

INVERNESS — A Leon Countyjudge on Wednesday dealt a shockto the status quo at Citrus MemorialHealth System when she ruled thata law passed last year regardinghospital oversight is constitutional.

Circuit Court Judge Jackie Ful-ford said the Citrus MemorialHealth Foundation is not harmedby the law, which requires the Cit-rus County Hospital Board to havecontrolling votes on the foundationboard.

CMHS officials said they wouldappeal the ruling.

Hospital board attorney Bill

Grant said heplanned immedi-ately to file a law-suit asking a judgeto freeze $1.4 mil-lion the foundationset aside as sever-ance pay for hospi-tal Chief ExecutiveOfficer Ryan Beatyand his top admin-istrators in theevent that trusteestook over control of

the hospital.Grant was ecstatic with Fulford’s

ruling and said he hoped the

JudgeJackie Fulford

said CMHS notharmed by law.

Highlights of Judge Jackie Fulford’s ruling:

■ The Citrus Memorial Health Foundation acts as an agent of the Cit-rus County Hospital Board, a public body. The foundation contract issubject to government oversight. The Legislature did not violate thestate Constitution by giving CCHB trustees controlling membershipof the foundation.

■ The foundation is not harmed by the law. In fact, taxpayers receivemore oversight because CCHB members are appointed by the gover-nor and confirmed by the Senate. Foundation members, by contrast,are appointed by the foundation with no oversight.

■ There is nothing in the lease that the foundation has with CCHB thatregulates makeup of the foundation board.

■ Three trustees did not violate the Sunshine Law when they met withthen-state Rep. Ron Schultz in his legislative office in April 2010 todiscuss the proposed legislation.

Referendum todecide issueMIKE WRIGHT

INGLIS — Opinions varyabout the significance ofthis town’s police department.

Some say it’s a drain ontaxpayers. Others call it theonly sure protection againstan influx of criminals.

The matter will be de-cided during the March 13town election with a refer-endum that simply asks ifthe police departmentshould be dissolved.

The town commission onTuesday set a special townhall meeting the week be-fore the election, March 6,so that residents and busi-ness owners could ask ques-tions of Sheriff JohnnieSmith, Mayor JamesWilliams and county offi-cials about the potential im-pact of dissolving the policedepartment.

Town attorney Norm Fu-gate said the meeting is anopportunity for citizens toreceive facts about theissue.

“I think it’s an excellentidea to have a meeting inwhich this issue can be ad-dressed by all,” Fugate said.

The five-officer Inglis Po-lice Department has abudget of about $335,000,town clerk Sally McCrainiesaid.

away with the police de-partment gathered enoughpetition signatures to forcea referendum.

A citizen challenged thepetition, however, andasked a judge to stop thereferendum from takingplace.

Circuit Court JudgeRobert Roundtree didn’t dothat, but he did change thereferendum’s wording.

The original wording,which referendum support-ers used when gathering pe-tition signatures, read: “ShallInglis Charter be amended torequire Inglis Commission todissolve and merge the InglisPolice Department with LevyCounty Sheriff ’s Office onSept. 30, 2012 or before withtown commission negotiatingmerger of all facilities, as-sets, real estate, equipmentand necessary personnelcurrently used by the department?”

Roundtree heard fromcitizens and attorneys at aFeb. 2 hearing and deter-mined that the town com-mission could dissolve thepolice department, but itcould not merge with the

sheriff ’s office without acountywide vote.

Roundtree then reducedthe referendum’s wordingto whether the Inglis PoliceDepartment should be dis-solved or not. There is nomention in the referendumof any merger with the sher-iff ’s office.

Referendum opponentBetty Berger said thatchange in wording shouldrequire the commission toallow petition signees theoption of removing their signatures.

Fugate said the judge’sorder makes no mention ofthe petition’s validity. Headvised the commission togo ahead with the referen-dum as now worded.

The referendum is di-rectly tied to the town com-mission election. The threeincumbents — Sherry Ely,Drinda Merritt and commis-sion president RichardKellman — support keepingInglis Police intact. The twochallengers — Glenda Kirk-land and Michael “Andrew”White — want the depart-

ment dissolved.Kirkland said the issue is

money. She noted the city ofCrystal River saved $500,000by turning over law enforce-ment to the Citrus CountySheriff ’s Office and she be-lieves Inglis would have sig-nificant savings as well.

“We just can’t affordthem,” she said.

Others, however, say thatthe move to dissolve the po-lice department is sup-ported by people who do notwant a police presence inthe community.

“A lot of people areagainst any type of law en-forcement,” resident JoeOwensby said. “They wantfree rein to do what theywant in this town.”

range but my second favoritewas trying to make themountains as tall as MountEverest,” she said with asmile still sporting greenicing on the corners of hermouth. “The icing was likeglue and it held the Kissestogether.”

Some of the students usedthe pink icing for magmaunder the Earth’s crust.Green icing was used forland formations and blue forthe color of the ocean.

Pope said the studentshave been studying a sectionon new-Earth structures andit matches the “E” strand ofthe Florida Benchmarks forearth structure.

Some of the earth struc-tures the class has beenlearning about include theMid-Atlantic Ridge, theAndes Mountains, volcanoes,both above and under thewater, as well as other Earth

features like Iceland, theRed Sea and the San An-dreas Fault.

Quentin Herrero sat qui-etly at his desk creating a detailed ocean-to-ocean di-vergent using various compo-nents. He said this type oflesson will remain with himin the future.

“When I study somethinglike this in a book, it doesn’tget me as involved as if I’mcreating something with myhands. I can actually see formyself by doing it by myself.”

He said there was anotherbenefit with this lesson whenit’s complete.

“Plus, I get to eat it at theend.”

Another day in paradise

When all is said and done, the weather andlove are the two elements about which onecan never be sure.

— Alice Hoffman, “Here on Earth”NANCY KENNEDY

Staff Writer

As a warming trend sweeps the nation, it’sjust another day in paradise for us in Florida,where shorts and flip-flops are attire du jour,often even in winter.

Thanks to what meteorologists call “zonalflow,” the jet stream pattern of storms flow-ing from west to east and not north to south,our friends to the north are doing a warmweather happy dance having just comethrough the fourth-warmest January onrecord and the warmest since 2006.

The warming trend continues.Today’s high for our area: 82 degrees. Even in Caribou, Maine, the high today is

expected to be a balmy 37 degrees — shortsand T-shirt weather for those used to sub-freezing temps.

According to a recent report from the Na-tional Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra-tion (NOAA), 47 states have hadwarmer-than-average temperatures this winterso far and nine states have recorded their top10 warmest average temperatures for January.

It’s also been the fifth-warmest six-monthperiod from August 2011 to January 2012 everrecorded in the lower 48 states.

However, don’t ask the people in Alaskaabout the weather. Several areas of that statehave shivered through the coldest Januaryon record.

For us here in Central Florida who areused to basking in the winter sunshine, tem-peratures have been only slightly above nor-mal, said Nicole Carlisle, National WeatherService meteorologist in Ruskin.

“This is typical of a La Niña pattern,” shesaid.

La Niña (“the girl”) refers to the periodiccooling of ocean surface temperatures in thecentral and east-central Pacific watersaround the equator.

Its counterpart, El Niño (“the little boy” or“Christ child”), refers to the periods ofwarmer-than-normal surface ocean water inthe eastern tropical Pacific. It was originallyrecognized by fishermen off the coast ofSouth America who noticed the water wasunusually warm for being close to Christmas.

In the past 20 years, there have been onlythree La Niñas and seven El Niños, occur-ring about every three to five years. La Niñas

generally last between nine and 12 monthsand up to two years.

Carlisle said for the rest of the winter wecan expect average lows in the 50s and highsin the 70s, allowing for occasional cold frontsmoving through bringing brief periods of coldweather.

“Actually, looking at the long-range forecastit looks like another cold front is moving inafter this coming weekend,” she said.

She added that drier-than-normal condi-tions are also a product of La Niña.

“It’s been dry here, but not exceptional,”she said. “We’re slightly below normal.”

The bottom line, she said, is enjoy the sun-shine and warm temperatures while you canbut don’t put away your winter jackets just yet.

Man accused in punching incidentA.B. SIDIBE

Staff Writer

A Crystal River man re-portedly walked over to an-other man in a parking lot,acting as if he knew him,and reportedly punchedhim in the mouth with hisclosed fist, according to aCitrus County Sheriff ’s Of-fice report.

Taylor Phillip Kofmehl,19, 513 N.W. 2nd Ave., wasarrested Monday on acharge of felony battery.

Kofmehl reportedlywalked over to the man whowas about to get into his ve-hicle with two other friends.Kofmehl, who was shirtless,was said to have acted as ifhe knew the man andreached out with his righthand; instead, he formed a

fist and struck himin the mouth, whichcaused the man tofall to the ground,the report states.

Kofmehl report-edly said somethingprior to the allegedbattery, but thewords were not understood.

When investigators ar-rived at the scene, they no-ticed the alleged victim hadtrouble speaking and one ofhis teeth was loose andbleeding. Witnesses corrob-orated his version of events.

Kofmehl was reportedlyriding in a gray car, and oneof the witnesses took down atag number but efforts to lo-cate the right vehicle wereunsuccessful.

The subsequent investiga-

tion determinedthat Kofmehl con-tacted the man heallegedly attackedvia text message toapologize for his actions.

Investigators saidwhen they contactedKofmehl, he said hewatched the man

exit a restaurant andthought he said somethingto him. He then walked overto the man and an alterca-tion ensued. The mannudged him on the shoulder,which caused him to punchhim twice in the face. Healso reportedly told investi-gators one of the man’sfriends hit him on the sideof his face.

Kofmehl’s bond was$2,000.

Electric cigarette explodesAssociated Press

PENSACOLA — AFlorida man trying to kickthe smoking habit was puff-ing on an electronic ciga-rette when a faulty batterycaused it to explode in hismouth, taking out some ofhis front teeth and a chunkof his tongue and severelyburning his face, fire offi-cials said Wednesday.

“The best analogy is likeit was trying to hold a bot-tle rocket in your mouthwhen it went off,” saidJoseph Parker, divisionchief for the North BayFire Department. “Thebattery flew out of the tubeand set the closet on fire.”

Fire Chief Joseph Millersaid the victim contactedthe department onWednesday to thank fire-

fighters and told them hewas recovering at a hospi-tal in Mobile, Ala., and an-ticipated being releasedlater in the day. Officialshave not publicly identi-fied him, citing depart-ment policy. But aFacebook page under thename of 57-year-old TomHolloway of Niceville wasfilled with well-wisherscommenting on the injuryand database searchesmatched his address on thefire report with his name.

Holloway was in his officeat home when the device ex-ploded, leaving behindburned carpet, chair cush-ions, pictures and officeequipment. A scorched bat-tery case found on a piece ofmelted carpet appears to beone for a cigar-sized device,the report said.

For the RECORD

foundation would drop itslegal fight, which alreadyhas cost millions of dollarsin legal fees.

“At what point is the foun-dation going to be finishedsquandering its money onfruitless and frivolous litiga-tion?” Grant asked. “At whatpoint will the foundationstop wasting taxpayermoney?”

The two sides have beenat odds since 2009, whentrustees said they wantedmore oversight of the hospi-tal. While the foundationleases the hospital from thetrustees, its membershiphas grown so that it outvotedtrustees who also weremembers of the foundation.

The bill, sponsored bystate Rep. Jimmie T. Smith,R-Inverness, and signedinto law by Gov. Rick Scott,gives trustees controllingmembership of the foundation.

Before the law took effect,the foundation sued in June,saying it was unconstitu-

tional because the law hadthe effect of voiding a validcontract between the foun-dation and CCHB.

Fulford issued a tempo-rary injunction and thenhad a final hearing in Octo-ber. Both sides have waitedfor a decision since then.

In her ruling, Fulfordturned aside foundation ar-guments that it had thesame constitutional protec-tions as a private company.Instead, she agreed withtrustees that the leasemeant the foundation wasacting on the public’s behalfin operating a public hospital.

She also said the law doesnot void the lease becausethe agreements between thefoundation and CCHB donot prevent trustees fromhaving a majority on thefoundation board.

Fulford said that a deci-sion in 2006 set up a makeupon the foundation that in-cluded five trustees and upto seven others, therebyshifting oversight away fromthe public.

“The result was a signifi-cant reduction in publicoversight,” she wrote. “The

foundation had been con-trolled by directors ap-pointed by the governor andconfirmed by the FloridaSenate... By 2006 the foun-dation was controlled bypersons who were not ap-pointed by the Governor,were not confirmed by theSenate, and were not ac-countable to the public.”

She said the foundation isnot harmed by providingmore public oversight on itsboard.

“There is no diminish-ment of value to the taxpay-ers and residents by a lawthat imposes greater publicaccountability and oversighton the Foundation,” shewrote. “Indeed, by puttingfinancial and operationalcontrols in the hands of theTrustees who are responsi-ble for raising tax dollars toprovide hospital services inCitrus County, the Act actu-ally adds value to the foun-dation through greaterpublic accountability andoversight...”

The foundation also ac-cused three members of theCCHB — Dr. Upender Rao,Debbie Ressler and MichaelSmallridge — of violating

the state’s Sunshine Law fora meeting they had withthen-Rep. Ron Schultz inhis Tallahassee office in2010 to discuss the proposedlegislation.

Fulford said the gatheringdid not violate the SunshineLaw.

Grant said he will ask theCCHB to conduct a specialmeeting within the nextweek to begin the transitionprocess, though the detailsmust still be worked out be-tween members of the hos-pital board and foundationboard.

CMHS spokeswomanKatie Mehl said the hospitalwill stick by its legal argu-ment on appeal.

“We will ask a panel of ap-pellate judges to agree withthe foundation position thatthis law violates state Con-stitution,” she said.

Rep. Smith said he waspleased with the judge’s ruling.

“It’s about transparencyand accountability,” he said.“It’s nothing personal. It’snot like I have any issueswith anybody. With tax dol-lars, we need to know whereit’s going.”

for the state of Florida toshow that we help thosepeople who help them-selves,” Smith said.

The bill would prohibit thereceipt of Temporary Assis-tance to Needy Families andSupplemental Nutrition As-sistance Program money toconvicted felons unless theyprovide proof that they havecompleted or are undergoingdrug or alcohol treatment.Details on how felons wouldprove their participation arestill being worked out, Smith

told members of the budgetcommittee.

Democrats argued thatthere was no evidence toshow that felony drug of-fenders have higher rates ofdrug abuse and the courtscan already require suchtreatment programs as acondition of release. Theyalso said the bill singles outlow-income residents whileignoring possible drug useamong others who receivestate and federal assistance.

“If we’re going to checkpeople, let’s take away somepensions if we think it’sgoing to be used for drugs,”said Rep. Darryl Rouson, D-St. Petersburg.

Threatened butterfly vanishesIguanas eating

leaves where eggsare laid

Associated Press

BAHIA HONDA KEY — Formore than a year, Bahia HondaState Park biologist Jim Duques-nel traversed the nature sanctu-ary with two hopes. He wanted tosee a Miami blue butterfly and ridthe Florida Keys outpost of asmany iguanas as he could.

The reason: The Central Amer-ican invader may be driving theMiami blue into extinction by eat-ing the leaves where it lays its eggs— a bit of butterfly caviar in everybite.

No confirmed Miami blueshave been seen on Bahia Hondasince July 2010, and with eachpassing day it becomes lesslikely any exist there. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service lastAugust issued an emergency list-ing of the Miami blue as an en-dangered species and threesimilar butterflies — cassiusblue, ceranus blue and nicker-bean blue — as threatened. Theemergency listing continuesthrough April, and federal offi-cials may make it permanent.

In the listing, federal officialsnoted that the only survivingMiami blue population appears tobe a few hundred living in the KeyWest National Wildlife Refuge,about 50 miles west of BahiaHonda.

Still, Duquesnel has tried tokeep hope alive — and eradicatethe iguana from his 600-acre parkin the Middle Keys.

Perhaps, he says, a half dozenMiami blues survive on some cor-ner of the island, waiting for theright weather to emerge.

“And if that happens, and theweather starts changing and if

Miami blues start breeding, wewant them to find this a goodplace to be doing that like theyused to,” he says. “In this case,that means it will be lacking iniguanas.”

If the Miami blue makes acomeback, it wouldn’t be the firsttime.

The pale blue butterfly — aboutthe size of a quarter — was onceubiquitous in the hardwood ham-mocks, pines and scrub along theFlorida coasts from the Keysnorth to Tampa Bay on the GulfCoast and Cape Canaveral on theAtlantic. But the region’s develop-ment after World War II slowlyshrank its habitat until by theearly 1990s it was found only in

the Keys.After the monstrous winds of

Hurricane Andrew blew throughthe islands in 1992, no Miamiblues were to be found, and manythought them extinct.

But seven years later, a colony of50 was found in Bahia Honda andit slowly grew.

Their population grew into thehundreds, until they were easy tospot year round from public trails.Jaret Daniels, a butterfly special-ist at the University of Florida, re-members Miami blues landing onhis hat.

“You could always swat themaway. There were hundreds,”Daniels says. “I’m sure thousandsof people walked by with Miami

blues flying around them.”Daniels and other scientists col-

lected Miami blues from the parkfor a captive breeding program atthe University of Florida’sMaguire Center for Lepidopteraand Environmental Research.Roughly 30,000 were bred in a labfrom 2003 to 2010, and Florida sci-entists transplanted the butter-flies in the Upper Keys to try toexpand the Miami blue’s geo-graphic range.

None of those colonies sur-vived, but scientists clung to hopefor the species because a newpopulation of Miami blues wasdiscovered in 2006 on a remote is-land in the Key West refuge.

But then, after a 2008 drought

followed by cold snaps in 2009 and2010, the population in BahiaHonda began a significant de-cline. Green iguanas soonemerged as a likely suspect intheir demise.

The large, vegetarian lizards,probably the descendants of petsreleased by their owners whenthey grew too big or burdensome,had developed a taste for thenickerbean leaves where Miamiblues laid their eggs. The nicker-bean was among the only plants toquickly recover from the coldsnaps, and the iguanas chewedthrough them, likely eating anybutterfly eggs clinging to theleaves.

Duquesnel got the news that theMiami blue had received an emer-gency endangered listing whilemaking his way to the old BahiaHonda Rail Bridge, brandishing anoose at the end of a long pole,which he uses to catch iguanas.He had set metal traps baited withsliced cherries, nectarines andstrawberries in more restrictedareas of the park, and now he wasstalking the lizard from the publictrail.

That day, there was no shortageof butterflies flitting about BahiaHonda: cassius blues and one cer-anus blue, rust-and-gray Easternpygmy blues, gulf fritillaries, skip-pers, bright orange sulphurs, ablack-winged swallowtail and ahandful of other species that flut-tered away before they could beidentified. Duquesnel also caughtfour iguanas, but saw no Miamiblues.

In the winter, volunteer snow-birds help Duquesnel tally butter-flies in the park. They carryclipboards with a picture of theMiami blue alongside pictures ofthe cassius blue, ceranus blue andnickerbean blue.

“I tell the volunteers you onlyneed to identify one butterfly: theMiami blue. If you can do that,then you can help. Anything elseis a bonus,” Duquesnel says.

Associated Press

Two Miami blue butterflies are shown at Bahia Honda State Park in the Florida Keys. No confirmed Miami blueshave been seen on Bahia Honda since July 2010. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service last August issued an emer-gency listing of the Miami blue as an endangered species.

I, Robonaut

Associated Press

Commander of the International Space Station, Daniel Burbank, shakes hands Wednes-day with Robonaut aboard the station in orbit around Earth. It’s the first handshake everbetween a human and a humanoid in space. NASA’s Robonaut was launched aboardspace shuttle Discovery last February. Crews have been testing it to see how it one daymight help astronauts perform space station chores.

Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.— Astronauts and robotshave united in space with ahealthy handshake.

The commander of theInternational Space Sta-tion, Daniel Burbank,shook hands Wednesdaywith Robonaut. It’s the firsthandshake ever between ahuman and a humanoid inspace.

NASA’s Robonaut waslaunched aboard spaceshuttle Discovery last Feb-ruary. Crews have beentesting it to see how it oneday might help astronautsperform space stationchores.

On Wednesday, groundcontrollers activated com-puter software that en-abled the robot to extendits right hand, fingers out-stretched. Burbank tookthe mechanical hand andpumped it up and down, asthe robot’s fingers tight-ened around his hand.

“The first human-humanoid handshake inspace,” Burbank proclaimed.

A cheer went up in thecontrol room in Huntsville,Ala.

“For the record, it was afirm handshake,” Burbankradioed. “Quite an impres-sive robot.”

Robonaut — the first hu-manoid in space, built fromthe waist up — said viaTwitter that it was an awe-some experience, then fol-lowed up with some signlanguage.

“The handshake was def-initely one of the highlightsof the day, but I’m not doneyet,” Robonaut said in a tweet. (A NASA spokes-woman actually files thetweets under the handleAstroRobonaut.)

“Did you catch that? Idon’t have a voice, but Isent you a message — Helloworld ... in sign language!”Robonaut tweeted. “What aday! I passed my tests with

flying colors!!!”Dutch space station as-

tronaut Andre Kuiperscouldn’t resist a little robothumor.

“Now let’s hope he’snever heard of HAL9000,Skynet or Cylons,” Kuiperswrote in a tweet.

HAL was the conspiringcomputer in “2001: A SpaceOdyssey.” The people-hating artificial intelli-gence system Skynet isfrom the “Terminator”films, while Cylons arecyber-warriors from “Bat-tlestar Galactica.”

Robonaut spends most ofits time in hibernationaboard the space station.The astronauts bring thehumanoid out every sooften for testing; it wasawakened in space last Au-gust and made its first mo-tion in October. A futuremodel could venture out-side for spacewalks, savingits human companionstime and keeping themsafe.

State BRIEFS

Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE — Taxbreaks for consumers andbusinesses passed in theFlorida House on Wednes-day and are headed for theSenate.

The House approved an-other installment of the pop-ular back-to-school sales taxholiday as well as a packageof business tax credits andreductions designed to stim-ulate Florida’s economy.

The sales tax exemptionon school supplies, clothing,shoes and related itemscosting under $15 would bein effect for Aug. 3-5. Thebill (HB 737) that passedunanimously would cost thestate and local governmentsan estimated $31.8 million.

The business tax cuts andincentives are expected tocost $121.1 million annually.That bill (HB 7087) passed92-22 with Republicans,who control the chamber, infavor and Democrats split.Those voting for the bill in-cluded Democratic LeaderRon Saunders of Key West.

“This is what we camehere to do,” said Rep. Den-nis Baxley, R-Ocala. “Wecame here to make Florida abetter place to do business.”

Democrats, though, werestill smarting from an anti-union amendment Republi-cans added Tuesday. It goesto a provision requested byGov. Rick Scott that wouldraise the corporate incometax exemption from $25,000to $50,000. The GOP amend-ment would limit the higher

exemption only to thosecompanies that have nounion employees.

The House actuallyadopted that provision mul-tiple times. Almost everytime a Democrat proposedan amendment, House Ma-jority Leader Carlos Lopez-Cantera, R-Miami, offeredthe anti-union provision asa substitute amendment.Once it passed, that effec-tively cut off debate on theDemocratic amendment.

Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE — Advo-cates of conservation andrenewable sources such assolar and biomass are sup-porting what sponsors arecalling “modest” energylegislation in the belief thateven a small start wouldcause those efforts to snowball.

A bill (HB 7117) thatcleared the House Fi-nance and Tax Committeeon Wednesday and a simi-lar measure (SB 2094)that’s moving through theSenate wouldn’t set spe-cific goals such as the 20percent level for renew-ables by 2020 once envi-sioned by former Gov.Charlie Crist.

Instead, the bills includesuch provisions as restor-ing tax exemptions andcredits that expired in 2010,consideration of fuel diver-sity by the Public ServiceCommission when decidingwhether to permit newpower plants and a studyon the effectiveness of an

existing energy conserva-tion law.

Susan Glickman, a lobby-ist for the Southern Al-liance for Clean Energy,said her organizationwould prefer a more ag-gressive approach such asthe targets 30 other stateshave adopted, but she saidthe legislation neverthelesswould “start the conversation.”

“When you get some ofthese projects on theground it starts to justdemonstrate that the proj-ects are doable and thecosts are feasible and infact that energy efficiencyand many new renewablescost less than traditionalgeneration like a new nu-clear power plant,” Glick-man said.

Rep. Scott Plakon, aLongwood Republicansponsoring the House bill,said it was drafted in con-sultation with Gov. RickScott and AgricultureCommissioner Adam Putnam.

It reflects many of the

recommendations Putnammade after the Legislaturelast year shifted responsi-bility for overseeingFlorida’s energy policyfrom the governor’s officeto the Department of Agri-culture and ConsumerServices.

Plakon said his bill pro-tects existing utility cus-tomers from payinghigher rates to finance re-newable energy and con-servation projects whilestill looking out for futuregenerations.

“This bill we believe pro-vides the proper balance ofthose two things and the an-alytical framework for thePSC to move forward to giv-ing us a nudge towards re-newable energy,” Plakonsaid.

Glickman acknowledgedFlorida lawmakers have noappetite for setting targetsbut noted the costs of re-newable energy and conservation have dramati-cally declined since otherstates began taking that approach.

Renewable advocates support state energy bills

Senate panel passes nearly $71 billion budgetAssociated Press

TALLAHASSEE — The FloridaSenate on Wednesday chargedahead with a nearly $71 billionbudget, despite complaints fromuniversity students, hospital lob-byists and even some Republicansin the House about some of the de-cisions contained in the spendingplan.

The Senate Budget Committeevoted unanimously for the budgetproposal after a marathon all-daysession that focused primarily onthe deep cuts the budget has instore for the state’s 11 public uni-versities. The legislation also cutsspending on hospitals, limitsemergency room visits for poorpatients and eliminates thousandsof state worker jobs.

“It’s a tough budget,” said Sen.

John Thrasher, R-St. Augustine.“It was a tough budget last yearand it’s even tougher this year.”

Some senators wound up engag-ing in a back-and-forth with stu-dents from the University of SouthFlorida, who were angered atwhat they saw as cuts that targetedtheir school because of an ongoingfeud over the fate of a branch cam-pus in Lakeland. Sen. J.D. Alexan-der, R-Lake Wales and Senatebudget chief, has been pushinghard to turn loose the branch andtransform it into the state’s neweststand-alone university.

The state panel that overseesthe state university system votedlast year for guidelines the branchcampus must meet to win its inde-pendence but the Senate has astand-alone bill that would man-date the creation of Florida Poly-

technic University.“In my view of the world, this is

a divorce that needs to happen,”Alexander said.

The proposed Senate budgetcuts state funding for all universi-ties by $400 million, but it hits

some schools, including USF,harder based on the size of exist-ing budget reserves. Alexanderand other top Republicans con-tended that this would be a one-year reduction in funding thatwould enable the Senate to avoiddeeper cuts in order parts of thebudget.

There were terse moments be-tween Tampa Bay senators andother Republicans over the USFbudget cuts with Sen. Jim Nor-man, R-Tampa, accusing some ofhis fellow Republicans of balanc-ing the budget on the backs of students.

Senators did make one keychange late in the day in an ef-fort to short-circuit some of thecriticism. They removed a provi-sion from a bill to freeze $25 mil-lion in money for USF until

university administrators tookthe legal steps to create FloridaPolytechnic.

But it’s clear that the hagglingover money for state universitiescould become a major stickingpoint in the remaining weeks ofthe session. Lawmakers have untilearly March to pass a new budgetthat will cover state spending fromJuly 2012 to June 2013.

The House has already passedits proposed 2012 budget and doesnot include anywhere near thesame level of cuts for state universities.

Rep. Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel and the nextHouse speaker, said he would noteven consider a bill creating a12th state university at a timewhen deep cuts are being pro-posed for USF.

ROBERT A. NIEPERTSpecial to the Chronicle

The horse played an unparalleledrole in the Civil War. In thousands ofphotos, paintings and drawings, ahorse or mule is depicted either asthe subject or in the foreground orbackground.

The horse paid a dear price forAmerica’s Civil War. Approximately3.5 million and horses and muleswent off to war for both the Federaland Confederate armies, never to re-turn. Horses and mules died at a ratealmost six times the number of sol-diers killed. With an attrition rate thathigh, it is no wonder that horses andmules were always in short supply.

It is estimated that the Union armyalone had 825,000 horses in service atany given time and the Federals spent$124,000,000 acquiring and caring forthem. If horses were needed andcould not be bought,they were takenfrom farmers and citizens.

The battle of Gettysburg was espe-cially deadly to the horse. The Gettys-burg National Park states that boththe Union and Confederacy threw ap-proximately 72,243 horses into thisone battle alone, and the dead horsesleft on the field were estimated to bebetween 3,000 and 5,000.

When the Civil War ended, therewere no green pastures awaiting thefaithful horses that survived. Horseswere perhaps the most important el-ement of unification between theNorth and South at the end of the war.One clause in the surrender terms atAppomattox in 1865 was related di-rectly to the horses.

Every Confederate cavalryman wasentitled to take his horse home with

him. This provision, insisted on byGen. Robert E. Lee, was accepted byGen. U.S. Grant. Since the economicprosperity of the Southerners de-pended more than ever upon thehorse, this act was a decisive factor inthe south’s ability to rebound afterthe war.

Step back in time at the 15th annualCivil War Re-enactment the weekendof March 9 through 11 at HolcimRanch, seven miles north of CrystalRiver on U.S. 19.

On Friday, March 9, Education Dayis open to students with about 15 dif-ferent stations to visit. Presentations

are from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Then, onSaturday, March 10, and Sunday,March 11, several hundred re-enac-tors will be on hand to portray thatperiod of American history.

Visitors can bring chairs or rentthem. No ice chests or alcoholic bev-erages will be permitted. Handicapparking is available. Cost is $5 foradults and $2 for children ages 9through 17.

Schools interested in attending Ed-ucation Day or those seeking more in-formation about the event can visitthe website at www.crystalriverreenactment.org.

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Stocksslumped Wednesday in oneof their worst showings thisyear as Greece, sloggingthrough negotiations withother countries over abailout, once again cast along shadow over the finan-cial markets.

The Dow Jones industrialaverage dropped 97.33points to close at 12,780.95.It was the worst one-day de-cline for the Dow this year,and the index narrowlyavoided its first triple-digitloss for the year. The aver-age was down as much as125 points.

The Standard & Poor’s500 and the Nasdaq com-posite index climbed tenta-tively through the morningbut gave up their gains byafternoon. The S&P fell 7.27points to 1,343.23. The Nas-daq fell 16 points to 2,915.83.

The declines were broad,with nine of the 10 industrygroups in the S&P recordinglosses. The only group thatdidn’t was materials, whichwas flat. Only five of the 30stocks in the Dow rose forthe day, and just barely.

In a 3 1/2-hour conferencecall with the finance minis-ters of the other 16 coun-tries that use the euro,Greece offered assurancesthat it had found 325 mil-lion in budget cuts in addi-tion to harsh measures thatit has already promised.

But in a sign of the dis-trust that has built duringthe European debt crisis,particularly among richercountries, a European offi-cial said Greece would needtighter oversight of its

budget before it receives an-other bailout.

Greece needs the moneybefore a big bond paymentcomes due March 20. A de-fault would rattle the worldfinancial system. For weeks,incremental movement inthe Greek crisis has whip-sawed U.S. stocks.

Greece makes up just 2percent of the total eco-nomic output of the 17 coun-tries that use the euro. Butinvestors are troubled bythe fallout from a potentialdefault and similar finan-cial problems festering inother European countries,such as Portugal, Italy andSpain.

“There is no shortage ofpeople who would arguethat Greece is a non-event,”

said Dan McMahon, direc-tor of equity trading at Ray-mond James. “It’s more thatit’s a barometer for the restof the eurozone.”

Stocks have risen steadilyall year, so some analysts ar-gued that a slowdown wasinevitable. The S&P 500ended 2011 at 1,258, andmany analysts predicted itwould end 2012 at 1,350. Butit had already reached thatlevel last week.

“When the market does ina few weeks what was ex-pected for the year, it’s nat-ural for the market to sort ofpause and pinch itself andsay, ‘Is this supposed to goon?’” said Brian Gendreau,market strategist for CeteraFinancial Group.

“If it continued at thesame pace for the rest of theyear, that’s just unrealistic.You’d need an unrelentingdrumbeat of good news, andwe haven’t gotten that,”Gendreau said.

The price of oil climbed toits highest level in fiveweeks after Iran said itwould cut off some exportsof crude to Europe. Iran wasresponding to the EuropeanUnion’s plans to embargoIranian oil this summer, anattempt to pressure Iran toabandon its nuclear pro-gram. Benchmark U.S.crude rose $1.06 to end theday at $101.80 per barrel inNew York.

Constitutional faithLiberals and progressives like

L.M. Eastman who ranted in theJan. 11 Chronicle against the re-ligious right and Republicanshave no clue of the connection,which is traditional moral val-ues, where the universal connec-tion between liberals andprogressives is the assault ontraditional moral values.

The right believes that the tra-ditional moral values that thecountry was founded on, and per-meate the Constitution, are stillvalid and the best foundation formodern decision-making in thefamily and the government.

Just to rub it in a little, I wouldlike to remind L.M. that theBible defines these moral valuesin just about every chapter ofevery book; therefore, becausethe Constitution supports andpromotes these values, most ra-tional people conclude that thisis a Christian country.

Yes, the right challenges sex-ual immorality at every level be-cause it is the single mostdestructive force in our societytoday. It creates poverty through

single-parent households, whichcannot provide for themselvesand families, and becauseparental supervision is minimalor missing, crime flourishes andincarceration becomes a fact oflife.

The irony of the church-and-

state argument is that it was set-tled on Jan. 11, 2012. TheSupreme Court in a 9-0 decisionrejected the administration’schallenge to a religious organi-zation’s firing of an employee.The court found that the govern-ment cannot apply employmentlaws to a religious organizationthat interfere with the internalgovernance of a church.

Just to rub it in a little more,that was a 9-0 ruling, becausethe Constitutional clause is sosimple to understand, even theliberals on the court could notfind a way to challenge it. Theclause is “the government shallmake no law respecting an es-tablishment of religion or pro-hibiting the free exercisethereof.” Since the best liberallegal minds on the SupremeCourt could not find any basis tochallenge the free exerciseclause, the liberal spokesper-sons need to change their talkingpoints, because there is no sepa-ration clause in the Constitutionand in fact there never was.

Donald HolcombInverness

James and JeanneHarmon reside inand supposedly

own a five-storybrownstone on Man-hattan’s Upper WestSide, a building thathas been in their fam-ily since 1949. But theyhave, so to speak,houseguests who haveoverstayed their wel-come by, in cumula-tive years, more than acentury. They are the tenants —the same tenants — who havebeen living in the three of theHarmons’ six apartments that arerent-controlled.

The Harmons want theSupreme Court to rule that theirhome has been effectively, andunconstitutionally, taken fromthem by notably foolish laws thatadvance no legitimate state inter-est. The court should.

This “taking” has been accom-plished by rent-control laws thatcover almost 1 million — approx-imately half — of the city’s rentalapartments. Such laws have ex-isted, with several intervals ofsanity, since the “emergency” de-clared because returning soldiersfaced housing shortages causedby a building slowdown duringWorld War II.

Most tenants in rent-controlledunits can renew their leases for-ever. Tenants can bequeath theirrent-controlled apartments —they have, essentially, a propertyright to their landlord’s property— to their children, or to a friendwho lives with them for two years.This is not satire; it is the virtueof caring, as understood by lib-eral government.

The tenants in the Harmons’three rent-controlled units are pay-ing an average 59 percent belowmarket rates. The Harmons wouldlike to reclaim one apartment for agrandchild, but because occupantsof two of the units are over 62, theHarmons would have to find thedisplaced tenant a comparable

apartment, at the sameor lower rent, in thesame neighborhood.

In addition to rentcontrol’s random dis-persal of benefits —remember, half of theHarmons’ apartmentsare uncontrolled — itis destructive becauseit discourages con-struction of newapartments and main-tenance of existing

ones. Thus it creates the “emer-gency” it supposedly cures.

It exemplifies what the lateNew York Sen. Pat Moynihancalled “iatrogenic government.”In medicine, an iatrogenic illnessis induced inadvertently by aphysician’s treatment.

Rent control is unconstitu-tional because it is an egregiousand uncompensated physical oc-cupation of property. The Consti-tution says private property shallnot “be taken for public use, with-out just compensation.” The Har-mons get no compensation forbeing coerced into privatizedwelfare: The state shows com-passion to tenants — many ofwhom are not needy; one of theHarmons’ entitled tenants owns ahome on Long Island — by com-pelling landlords to subsidizethem.

A property right in a physicalthing is a right to possess, use anddispose of this thing. Becausegovernment-compelled posses-sion of property by a third partyis an unambiguous taking, theHarmons’ property right hasbeen nullified.

John Locke, an intellectualsource of American freedom, saidproperty rights, which he definedto include rights to “lives, libertiesand estates,” exist prior to, and in-dependent of, government, andtheir preservation is “the greatand chief end” for which govern-ments are founded. Propertyrights provide a sphere of per-sonal sovereignty, a zone of privacy

into which government should beable to intrude only with difficultyand only so far. Because they arethe basis of individual independ-ence, America’s Founders consid-ered property rights thefoundation of all other liberties,including self-government — thegovernance of one’s self.

The Harmons’ case illustratesgovernment’s steady and nolonger stealthy desire to trans-form property from a fundamen-tal right into an attenuated,conditional privilege. Govern-ment would like the right to becontingent on whatever agenda ithas for ameliorating “emergen-cies” it causes.

The Supreme Court’s worst de-cision of this century, the 2005Kelo ruling, held that govern-ment may take private propertyfor the spurious “public use” ofgiving it to a third party that willpay the government higher taxesthan the original owner would.The Harmons’ case is an occasionfor the court to begin makingamends for Kelo.

In the 1920s, even JusticeOliver Wendell Holmes, who wasexcessively permissive regardingwhat governments could legis-late, said rent-control laws wereon the “verge” of being unconsti-tutional. Surely a substantial reg-ulation — which a physicaloccupation is — of real propertyviolates the Fifth Amendment’sTakings Clause if it does not sub-stantially advance legitimatestate interests. The court also hasheld that a regulation of realproperty violates the Takings andDue Process clauses if it servesno “public use” or is “arbitrary.”

Are the arbitrary distributionof unmerited benefits and thecultivation of an entitlementmentality among renters a “pub-lic use”? If not, rent control isunconstitutional.

LETTERS to the Editor

Look before you moveThe person who called in to

complain that we don’thave a Jo-Ann’s or a Tar-get should have lookedinto these things beforethey moved here. Did youexpect to just move inand then have the countycater to your every littlewhim? Well, guess what?Life doesn’t always workout that way.

When we first movedhere, we used to drive upto Ocala or over to Lees-burg just to go to a Red Lobster or

an Olive Garden. We did finally getone of them here, which wasgreat, but we didn’t ask the

county to build onenearby so we wouldn’thave to drive that far. Sogrow up and accept whatwe have here.

GOP’s ideasI just read in the Sound

Off that the Republicanshave no ideas or plans todo anything for the coun-try. They’re only inter-ested in defeatingObama. That’s the best

idea and/or plan I’ve heard sincethey got rid of Jimmy Carter.

Gas pricesWhat’s with gas prices and

diesel prices? In a four- or five-county area of Florida, I see gasfor $3.50 to $3.75 a gallon, and$3.75 is more like we paid whenoil was $148 a barrel. Oil closedFeb. 2 at $96-and-change a barreland we’re paying these highprices. It seems to me we’re beingovercharged by about 50 cents to70 cents a gallon, if you ask me.

Coroner seekingmedical recordsLOS ANGELES — The

Los Angeles County coro-ner’s office has issued sub-poenas for medical andpharmacy records from Whit-ney Houston’s doctors andmedical providers, which isstandard procedure in suchinvestigations, an official said.

Assistant Chief Coroner EdWinter said the request is madein virtually all death investiga-tions because it can shed addi-tional light on how people diedand whether they had any seri-ous medical conditions.

“We’ve already contacted anumber of doctors with re-quests for records,” he said.

Winter said at this point,there is nothing unusualabout how his office is pro-ceeding with the Houstondeath investigation and re-quests for medical recordsare requested through subpoenas.

Iran ready for nuke talks Chinacentralbanker

expressesconfidence

in euroAssociated Press

BEIJING — China’s cen-tral bank governor ex-pressed confidence in theeuro at an appearanceWednesday with visiting Eu-ropean Union leaders andsaid Beijing will keep buy-ing the debt of Europeangovernments.

China also will encourageits companies to invest inEurope, Zhou Xiaochuansaid during an event at auniversity with EuropeanCouncil President HermanVan Rompuy and EuropeanCommission President JoseManuel Barroso.

“We have confidence inthe eurozone,” Zhou said ofthe 17 nations that use theeuro common currency.“We firmly support all themeasures taken by the Eu-ropean Union and the eu-rozone to overcomedifficulties and build confidence.”

“China will, under theprinciples of safety, protect-ing value and increasingvalue, actively invest in Eu-ropean countries’ govern-ment debt,” he said.

Chinese leaders have re-peatedly expressed supportfor Europe, China’s biggestexport market, but havegiven no sign they would domore than continue to in-vest in the safest Europeangovernment bonds.

European leaders arelooking to China for a possi-ble contribution to the con-tinent’s bailout funds fromits $3.2 trillion in foreign reserves.

On Tuesday, PremierWen Jiabao said at a newsconference with VanRompuy and Barroso thatBeijing is willing to in-crease its role in helpingEurope resolve its prob-lems but he made no finan-cial commitments.

Beijing’s stake in Eu-rope’s financial health hasgrown as Chinese compa-nies step up investmentthere, acquiring Europeancompanies or starting theirown.

Van Rompuy said Europeis getting its debt problemsunder control. He said thatdespite fears of a breakup ofthe euro, leaders see a“common European destinyat stake” and have taken“drastic measures” to en-sure its survival.

On Tuesday, European ef-forts to bail out Greece suf-fered a setback when ameeting of finance minis-ters of euro nations wascalled off after Athensfailed to deliver on severaldemands by its partners.

The cancellation of theWednesday meetingshowed euro nations wanttougher guarantees fromAthens before giving it anextra $171 billion in rescueloans, on top of $145 billiongranted in 2010, raisingfears that the complex dealcould still fall apart.

WASHINGTON — Iranhas told world powers it isready to resume talks assoon as possible over itsdisputed nuclear program,according to a letter ob-tained Wednesday by TheAssociated Press, an offerthat could reflect its diffi-culty in coping with toughU.S. and European sanc-tions, or amount to anotherdelaying tactic as it movesahead with activities thatcould bring it closer to de-veloping an atomic bomb.

The letter from chiefIranian nuclear negotiatorSaeed Jalili was sent Tues-day, just a day before Iranclaimed two major ad-

vances in producing nu-clear fuel and indicated itwas on the verge of impos-ing an oil embargo on Euro-pean countries to retaliatefor sanctions. The Obamaadministration dismissedthe announcements asunimpressive and saidTehran’s erratic behaviorwas indicative of thesqueeze it is feeling as a re-sult of hard-hitting eco-nomic measures against it.

“We voice our readiness

for dialogue on a spectrumof various issues which canprovide ground for construc-tive and forward looking co-operation,” Jalili wrote inthe letter to EU foreign pol-icy chief Catherine Ashton,the point of contact for thefive permanent members ofthe U.N. Security Counciland Germany, who are de-manding Iran freeze all ura-nium enrichment.

Ashton had written Jaliliin October, offering Iran a

new round of talks towardan agreement that “restoresinternational confidence inthe exclusively peaceful na-ture of Iran’s nuclear pro-gram.” The West fears Iranseeks nuclear weapons,and speculation is rife thatIsrael may launch a pre-emptive strike to set backthe program.

Jalili welcomed Ashton’sstatement of respect forIran’s right to peaceful nu-clear energy use and said“by committing to this ap-proach, our talks for coop-eration based onstep-by-step principles andreciprocity on Iran’s nu-clear issue could be com-menced,” according to atranslated copy of the letter.

Soldiers run during clashes with the relatives of inmates Wednesday after a deadly prison fire in Comayagua, Hon-duras, 90 miles north of the capital, Tegucigalpa. At least 300 inmates were killed and 21 are injured, accord-ing to authorities.

Prison fire kills hundredsAssociated Press

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Afire started by an inmate torethrough an overcrowded prison inHonduras, burning and suffocatingscreaming men in their lockedcells as rescuers desperatelysearched for keys. As many as 300people were killed in the world’sdeadliest prison fire in eightdecades.

The local governor, who wasonce a prison employee, told re-porters Wednesday that an inmatecalled her moments before theblaze broke out and screamed: “Iwill set this place on fire and weare all going to die!”

Comayagua Gov. Paola Castrosaid she called the Red Cross andfire brigade immediately. But fire-fighters said they were kept out-side for half an hour by guards whofired their guns in the air, thinkingthey had a riot or a breakout ontheir hands.

Officials have long had little con-trol over conditions inside manyHonduran prisons, where inmateshave largely unfettered access tocellphones and other contraband.

Survivors told investigators theunidentified inmate yelled “We willall die here!” as he lit fire to his bed-ding late Tuesday night in the prisonin the central town of Comayagua,

north of the capital of Tegucigalpa.The lockup housed people con-victed of serious crimes such ashomicide and armed robbery.

The blaze spread within min-utes, killing about 100 inmates intheir cells as firefighters struggledto find officials who had keys, Co-mayagua fire departmentspokesman Josue Garcia said.

“We couldn’t get them out be-cause we didn’t have the keys andcouldn’t find the guards who hadthem,” Garcia said.

Other prisoners were set free by

guards but died from the flames orsmoke as they tried to flee into thefields surrounding the facility,where prisoners grew corn andbeans on a state-run farm.

Rescuers carried shirtless, semi-conscious prisoners from theprison by their arms and legs. Onehauled a victim away by piggyback.

Comayagua, which houses mem-bers of the nation’s largest gangs,was built in the 1940s for 400 in-mates, but its population had morethan doubled to 852, with only 100guards to maintain order.

Urgent tweet in Kenyan village: Help, thieves invadingAssociated Press

LANET UMOJA, Kenya —When the administrativechief of this western Kenyanvillage received an urgent 4a.m. call that thieves wereinvading a school teacher’shome, he sent a message onTwitter. Within minutes res-idents in this village of stonehouses gathered outside thehome, and the thugs fled.

“My wife and I were terri-fied,” said teacher MichaelKimotho. “But the alarmraised by the chief helped.”

The tweet from FrancisKariuki was only his latest

attempt to improve villagelife by using the micro-blogging site Twitter. Kariukiregularly sends out tweetsabout missing children andfarm animals, showing thepower of social media hasreached even into a dustyAfrican village. Lanet Umojais 100 miles west of the capi-tal, Nairobi.

“There is a brown andwhite sheep which has gonemissing with a nylon ropearound its neck and it be-longs to Mwangi’s father,” hetweeted recently in theSwahili language. Thesheep was soon recovered.

Kariuki said even thethieves in his village followhim on Twitter. Earlier thisyear, he tweeted about thetheft of a cow, which waslater found abandoned.

Kariuki’s official Twitterpage shows 300 followers, butthe former teacher estimatedthat thousands of the 28,000residents in his area receivethe messages he sends outdirectly and indirectly. Hesaid many of his constituents,mostly subsistence farmers,cannot afford to buy smartphones, but can accesstweets through a third-partymobile phone application.

The West fears Iran seeks nuclearweapons, and speculation is rife

that Israel may launch a pre-emptivestrike to set back the program.

ORLANDO — Ryan Andersonhad seven 3-pointers and scored27 points, Dwight Howard added17 points and 14 rebounds andthe Orlando Magic shot their waypast the Philadelphia 76ers, 103-87 on Wednesday night.

Orlando made 15 of 25 attemptsfrom 3-point range, and had allfive starters reach double figuresfor the second consecutive game.

Jason Richardson had 14points, including four 3s, and Or-lando’s Jameer Nelson tied a ca-

reer high with 14 assists, added12 points.

The Magic have won threestraight and seven of nine sincelosing to the Sixers last month.

Louis Williams led Philadel-phia with 21 points and seven as-sists, and Andre Iguodala had 15points. The loss ended the 76ers’winning streak at two.

Orlando shot 53 percent fromthe field (40 for 75) and had 30points in the paint.

Two more 3-pointers by theMagic a few possessions later —both following Sixers turnovers— got it to 103-86 with under aminute a play to put the game outof reach.

Catching ‘Smoke’

Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH — Over the clos-ing weeks of last season, Steve Adding-ton had been led to believe he wouldbe Tony Stewart’s crew chief in 2012.

Then Stewart won at Martinsvilleand again at Texas to give him fourwins in eight races. The Sprint Cupchampionship was firmly in his reach,and it sure didn’t seem like there wereany reasons for Stewart to makechanges to his organization.

Addington, laid back by nature,watched and waited. But when Stewartcapped off his remarkable title run bywinning the season-finale at Home-stead to snatch the championship awayfrom Carl Edwards, Addington finallygot nervous.

A text message from Stewart calmedhim a bit.

“I’m laying in the bed ... sitting therethinking, ‘What’s this guy thinking?They just won a championship. Arethey going to change their minds?’”Addington recalled. “Couldn’t sleepand then the phone blew up — I got thetext of, ‘No pressure, bud.’”

And so the plan was set in place:Addington announced he was leavingPenske Racing after a tumultuoustenure with Kurt Busch and moving toStewart-Haas Racing to crew chief thedefending NASCAR champion.

Darian Grubb, despite guiding Stew-art to five wins in the final 10 races ofthe season, was out of a job, and fanscouldn’t understand why Stewartwould make such wholesale changes.Stewart also successfully recruitedGreg Zipadelli, his former longtimecrew chief at Joe Gibbs Racing, to leavethat team and join SHR as competitiondirector.

On Monday of thisweek, the Gulf ofMexico Fishery

Management Council(FMC) announced someregulations dealing withGulf grouper; FMC hasstated it would ensure stateregulations matched theFeds, with oneexception. Gagseason will openJuly 1, and runthrough Oct. 31,with the excep-tion of thosestate waters offFranklin, Jeffer-son, Taylor andWakulla Coun-ties, includingApalachicolaBay and IndianPass. The exception isbeing made in order to “…better align fishing oppor-tunity with fish availabil-ity.” The council alsolowered the minimum sizelimit for commercial fish-ermen from 24 inches to 22inches total length.

According to reports I’vereceived lately, grouper arealready showing up on theinshore reefs and rockpiles, but of course the sea-son closed last fall. That’sno reason to avoid fishingthose shallow reefs,though. Grouper have to bereleased unharmed, to besure, but there are plentyof other species that in-habit those waters, includ-ing various grunts, severalporgies, gray (mangrove)snapper, sea bass andsheepshead. All will takeshrimp, and all have beenquite plentiful of late.

One guide reported thesheepshead have finishedspawning and are eatingeverything in sight. I don’tknow if that’s opinion or ifhe knows for sure thespawn is over, but if it is, it’sover awfully early, assheepshead normallyspawn in March and April.Still, as he pointed out, wehave been having spring-like weather, so one has toadmit it’s possible. Morelikely, in my op inion, thespawn hasn’t star ted yet,and the heavy feeding isthe pre-spawn excess mostspecies go through.

Remember, most of thesespecies are consideredreef fish, which means thereef fish equipment regula-tions apply, so if you’regoing to target the above

species, be sure you haveaboard a venting tool andde-hooking device, andyou’re using non-stainlesscircle hooks. When thoseregulations went into ef-fect, several readers ques-tioned the reasoningbehind prohibiting stain-

less steel hooks,so in case youmissed that, it’sbecause it takesfish so muchlonger to get ridof stainlesshooks than, say,blued or platedhooks, whichcan rust and fallout or passthrough a fish ina matter of days.

That’s why it’s recom-mended that if you can’treach a hook, even with aquality de-hooker such asthe one from ARC, you sim-ply cut the leader or line asclose to the hook as you canreach, and let corrosion dothe rest.

Sea bass must be a mini-mum of 10 inches (it’s 12 inthe Atlantic). Mangrovesnappers must also be 10inches, and there’s a limitof five per angler per day,which is included in the 10-per-day snapper aggregatebag limit. Sheeps head min-imum is 12 inches, totallength, with a limit of 15per angler per day.

If you’d prefer trout, thisis a good weekend forthem, as the morning willhave an incoming tide thatwill move the trout out ofthe deeper waters into theshallows over rocks, whichwill be giving off the heatthey absorbed the day be-fore, and reflecting thesun’s rays up to warm theambient water. Early in theday, try topwater plugs any-where you have two feet ofwater over a rocky bottom.Redfish remain in thebackwater creeks for themost part, but black drumhave been showing up inschools numbering in thehundreds, and some ofthese fish will top 25pounds. Quarters of blueclaw crab work best forthese beasts.

Tight Lines to you.

Chronicle outdoors colum-nist RG Schmidt can bereached at rgschmidt@embarqmail.com.

The sport of hunting continues tocome under attack, and a recentcourt ruling has forced the U.S.

Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) torescind a regulation that al-lowed hunting of three dif-ferent species of Africanantelope on U.S. soil.

The three species are thescimitar-horned oryx,addax, and dama gazelle.Due to habitat loss, humanpopulation increases, civilwar and wanton, unregu-lated killing of thesespecies in their nativeAfrican habitat, all threespecies were driven almostto the point of extinction.

The oryx had not been seen in thewilds of Africa since the 1980s, andfewer than 1,000 of the addax anddama were thought to still exist. Zoosand private game ranches held smallpopulations of these animals, and ac-cording to the Sahelo-Saharan Inter-est Group (SSIG) of the UnitedNations Environment Program, it isestimated that there are 4,000-5,000scimitar-horned oryx, 1,500 addax,and 750 dama gazelle in captivityworldwide, many of which are held inthe United States.

Based on a 2010 census of its mem-bers, the Exotic Wildlife Association(EWA) estimates there are 11,032 scim-itar-horned oryx, 5,112 addax, and 894

dama gazelle on EWA member ranches.That is a big discrepancy regarding

the numbers, and I would tend to be-lieve the EWA over the SSIG. With that

said, it shows how the ani-mals can not only survivehere but thrive as well.EWA members know thatconservation of the animalsallows them to survive andprovide a benefit for them-selves and hunters.

The animal-rights groupFriends of Animals suedthe USFWS in federal courtand prevailed. They wantthe animals back in theirnative land of Africa anddetest that they are being

killed here in the United States. Effective April 4, 2012, it will re-

quire a special permit (which will bealmost impossible to get) for a hunterto harvest one of these species from anexotic game ranch, if they can find onethat still has the animals. The USFWSthinks that ranchers are going to con-tinue caring for and feeding these ex-otics, although they will no longer beable to make money off of them. Thinkagain.

“I used to have a nice little herd ofscimitar,” said Inglis’ Ross HammockRanch owner Harold Ross. “But weare killing them all before the rulecomes into effect. We used to take twoto four of them every year and have

two to four born. That’s conservation.”Ranchers in the United States saw

a chance to save these species severalyears ago and provide a service tohunters by allowing the animals to beharvested on exotic game ranches.Over the years, these animals have be-come popular game species forhunters, and it has been a win-win forthe three species and the rancherswho feed and raise them.

Conservation-minded ranchershave done what ranchers do: use theirland to raise, breed, feed and takecare of animals so they in turn can paytaxes, feed their families and make aliving. Now, would you continue todish out hundreds and thousands ofdollars every year so that an animalcan run around on your property andbe of no economic use?

Neither would I.“This is a death sentence for the

species,” Ross added.Take a good look at the photograph

that accompanies this story. Chancesare pretty darn good this will be thelast time you ever see this incrediblybeautiful species, thanks to theFriends of Animals. I hope they neverbecome friends of mine.

three-run seventh inning.Brandy Martinez drove intwo with a bases-loadeddouble.

Springstead had 12 hits.Brittany Martinez was 3 for3 with two doubles, one run

and an RBI. Martinez alsohad an excellent divingcatch at shortstop to helppreserve the shutout.

Adams was 2 for 3 with arun and an RBI.

“She’s tough to hit,” Pi-rates shortstop Meagan Un-verdorben said.

Adams impressed theCrystal River High headcoach.

“She’s (Adams) verygood,” Pirates coach DennisJenkins said. “She has awhole lot of movement onher ball.

“I was hoping for a 2-1type of game. They scoredthree in the first and we did-n’t come back. I didn’t see awhole lot of spark out there.I’m a little disappointedwith our lack of effort.”

heads this week to DaytonaInternational Speedway forthe start of the 2012 season,he’s got to prove he didn’tmake a mistake in overhaul-ing his organization. In trueStewart form, though, he’sscoffing at the notion he’sunder any pressure.

“You’re asking the wrongguy,” he said before motion-ing toward Addington. “Youneed to ask him. I feel justfine.”

Then Stewart continued,explaining he’s knownAddington for years — bothwere at Joe Gibbs Racing to-gether — and their person-alities fit.

“We’re just low key, down-to-earth racers and hard-core racers that want torace. That is the attitudethat Steve has coming inhere,” Stewart said. “I’m notputting any pressure onhim. I’m looking forward togoing out and racing again.”

But Addington knows thatif Stewart doesn’t success-fully defend his title, the fin-ger likely will be pointed athim. He has never won atitle at a NASCAR’s nationallevel, despite taking KyleBusch as the top seed in theChase for the Sprint Cupchampionship.

He believes he and Stew-art can do it.

“I know a lot of people aregoing to look at it like,‘You’re the only thing that’schanged on that race team.’That’s true,” Addingtonsaid. “I feel good about it.I’m confident enough in myposition and experience inraces to give him what heneeds in a race car.”

The competition will betight this year, especially atJGR, where Grubb haslanded.

When Stewart let Grubbgo after their title run,Grubb had his pick of jobsand settled on the crewchief position for DennyHamlin, who’s coming off adisappointing season thatsaw the driver fall consider-able from his near-champi-onship run in 2010.

Grubb insists there’s nodriving desire to one-upStewart, but he’s motivatedto take Hamlin to his firstchampionship.

“No matter what happenswhen you are in a long-termrelationship — you can ask

your husband or your wife— the communication levelis what makes everythingwork,” Grubb said of histenure with Stewart. “Themore you get stagnant, themore you realize what youshould have done in thepast. Now we’re both reallylooking forward with oureyes wide open.”

JGR also is looking for arebound from Kyle Busch,who again faltered afterbeing the top seed in theChase. He was way out oftitle contention by the timehe lost his temper in theTruck Series race at Texasand intentionally wreckedanother driver, promptingNASCAR to suspend him forthe rest of the weekend.

It was a humbling mo-ment for Busch, who had tofight hard to keep his spon-sors. Now he’s hoping to fi-nally put together acomplete season and winthe Cup championship thathas eluded him.

At the other end of thegarage is his older brother,Kurt, who finds himself on ayearlong job audition aftersplitting with Penske Rac-ing at the end of a tumul-tuous 2011 season. Top-leveljobs were scarce when hehit the market in early De-cember, and he landed withfledgling Phoenix Racing ina one-year deal. The carcomes with Hendrick Mo-torsports horsepower,though, and Busch couldsurprise many and be a con-tender in the Feb. 26 sea-son-opening Daytona 500.

More important, though,is proving to sponsors andcar owners that he’s got hisact together and is ready toreturn to a top team in 2013.

Edwards, who lost thechampionship last seasonon a tiebreaker to Stewart,will try to come back fromthat disappointment. AndJimmie Johnson, who hadhis five-year run snappedlast season, wants verymuch to get back in the mixafter a career-worst sixth inthe final Cup standings.

Kevin Harvick has fin-ished third in points the lasttwo seasons. Thanks to per-sonnel moves at RichardChildress Racing, he’s nowpaired with crew chiefShane Rogers — the switchhe hopes can help him moveup in the standings.

RCR is back down tothree teams — Harvick, JeffBurton and Paul Menard —as Clint Bowyer moved on at

the end of the season toMichael Waltrip Racing.Many believe he’ll be thebreakout driver MWR haslong been looking for. He’steamed with Martin TruexJr. and Mark Martin, whowill scale back his scheduleand share his car at timeswith team co-owner Waltrip.

AJ Allmendinger is in thebest ride of his life now thathe’s at Penske Racing asKurt Busch’s replacement.Coming off a win in lastmonth’s prestigious Rolex24 Hours at Daytona sportscar race, Allmendinger goesinto the season with his con-fidence soaring. Brad Ke-selowski, his teammate, islooking to improve on lastyear’s three-win break-through season.

Roush Fenway Racing isalso down to three cars assponsorship woes forcedthe team to close downDavid Ragan’s Cup ride, andthe No. 17 of Matt Kensethisn’t fully funded. But the or-ganization, which cele-brated a Nationwidechampionship last seasonwith Ricky Stenhouse Jr.,believes Edwards, Kensethand Greg Biffle will be con-tenders all year.

Then there’s DanicaPatrick, who is officially afull-time NASCAR driver.After two years of dabblingin stock cars while she fin-ished her IndyCar Series ca-reer, Patrick has made thejump to NASCAR. She’ll runthe full Nationwide sched-ule for JR Motorsports and10 races for Stewart in theCup Series.

Only nine of her Cupraces have been announced,and the Daytona 500 will beher first next weekend.She’s also going to run theCoca-Cola 600 in May, whichmakes her unavailable forthe Indianapolis 500 for thefirst time in her career.

Patrick is trying to be rea-sonable with her expecta-tions for this season, but alleyes will be on her as she’sexpected to give NASCAR amassive marketing boost.

She certainly turnedsome heads last monthwhen she spoke confidentlyof the Daytona 500.

“I think there is a realchance, if luck falls our way,to perhaps win,” she said. “Ithink that’s a real chance.”

Should that happen, 2012is guaranteed to be a fabu-lous season for NASCAR.

TAMPA — Defensive line-man Albert Haynesworthhas been released by theTampa Bay Buccaneers, whosigned him after injuriesdecimated their roster mid-way through last season.

General manager MarkDominik announced themove Wednesday, saying heappreciated Haynesworthfilling in for seven gamesafter tackle Gerald McCoy

was lost for the year with atorn right biceps.

While the Bucs limitedthe number of days he prac-ticed to try to keepHaynesworth healthy forgames, his production de-clined steadily over the finalmonth of a 10-game losingstreak that claimed the jobof former coach RaheemMorris. Haynesworth’s basesalary for next season wouldhave been more than $6 mil-lion, so his release didn’t

come as a surprise.“I appreciate Albert play-

ing for us after some key in-juries this past season,”general manager MarkDominik said in ateam statement.“He was very pro-fessional and wenow wish him allthe best as hemoves forward.”

The veteran of 10NFL seasons was claimed offwaivers from the New Eng-

land Patriots on Nov. 8. Hestarted six games for TampaBay, finishing with 25 tackles.

Haynesworth developedinto one of the league’s

top defensive line-men during sevenseasons with theTennessee Titans,but has underper-

formed since sign-ing a seven-year,

$100 million deal withthe Redskins in 2009. He wasobtained by New England in

a trade last year, but lastedjust eight games with theeventual AFC champions.

Bucs hire Raye as offensive assistantTAMPA — The Buccaneers

LOS ANGELES — LukeDonald was on the practicerange at Riviera before dawnWednesday, it was so darkonly temporary floodlights al-lowed him to see where theball was going.

It was a snapshot of theperks that come with beingNo. 1 in the world, and whatgot him there.

The best player gets hischoice of tee times for the pro-am, and the early spots gofirst. Along with being No. 1 inthe world, Donald sits atopthe PGA Tour and EuropeanTour money lists, the firstplayer ever to lead the twobiggest tours.

As for the work ethic? Get-ting to the top wasn’t an accident.

“I think the best part ofbeing No. 1 is knowing that mybest golf is good enough to getme to that No. 1 spot, just froma confidence and mentalstandpoint,” Donald said.“That’s gratifying to know thatthe hard work is paying off.”

The hardest part might bethe encore.

Donald is coming off a yearhe won’t ever forget, and it allbegan at Riviera with a roundhe would like to erase fromhis memory. In his first event,he shot a 79 in the secondround to miss the cut.

Toward the end of his sea-son, he had won a career-bestfour times, including themost exciting finish this sideof a major when he birdiedsix straight holes to start theback nine at Disney andclosed with a 64 for a two-shot victory. It gave him thedouble money title, and wasenough to make him a land-slide winner of PGA Tourplayer of the year.

Donaldcomes

full circleSigned and sealedMaddon agrees to3-year extension

with RaysAssociated Press

ST. PETERSBURG — The reign-ing AL manager of the year isn’tgoing anywhere.

That is, unless you’re countingspring training, where Joe Maddonis eager to get to work after agree-ing to a three-year contract exten-sion that could keep him in TampaBay’s dugout through 2015.

The Rays formally announcedthe deal with the 58-year-old man-ager during a news conference atTropicana Field on Wednesday.

Maddon has led the team to theplayoffs three of the past four sea-sons and believes they have an ex-cellent chance of getting backagain this year.

Maddon said while he’s flatteredby speculation he would have beenattractive to other teams if theRays had not locked him up long-term that he had no desire to leaveTampa Bay, which has a talentedyoung roster capable of contend-ing for championships for years to come.

“I know the grass — the turf — isnot any greener anywhere else,”Maddon said. “I wanted to behere.”

Maddon is 495-477 in six seasonswith the Rays, who struggledthrough a decade of futility beforefinally posting the first winningrecord in franchise history in 2008,when they not only defied the oddsby finishing ahead of the New YorkYankees and Boston Red Sox forAL East title but made their firstWorld Series appearance.

Tampa Bay won arguably base-ball’s toughest division again in2010, then overcame a nine-gamedeficit in September to edgeBoston for the AL wild-card spot

on the final night of last season.Maddon has excelled despite

fielding a team, whose payroll isamong the lowest in baseball. Ayear ago, the Rays lost six key play-ers to free agency and traded twoothers, yet won 91 games to finishsecond in the AL East, which tradi-tionally has been dominated by thebig spending Yankees and Red Sox.

“We’ve really grown a lot overthe last several years,” said Mad-don, who lost 101 games in 2006 —his first with Tampa Bay — and 96the following seasons.

The Rays have averaged 92 winsthe past four seasons. And withone of baseball’s youngest anddeepest pitching rotations andwhat could be an improved offen-sive attack led by Evan Longoria,B.J. Upton, Ben Zobrist, Carlos

Pena and Luke Scott, Maddon saidthe club has everything it takes toreturn to the postseason.

“We’ve come up short the lasttwo years in the playoffs, but wedid get there,” Maddon said, allud-ing losses to Texas in the divisionalround in 2010 and 2011.

“We’ve got to extend that a littlebit as we move forward. ... It’sabout winning. It is about getting tothe last game of the season andwinning it the next time we get achance to be there.”

Rays executive vice president ofbaseball operations Andrew Fried-man lauded Maddon’s ability toconnect with players, developyoung talent and always “put thefranchise first” in making decisions.

“I think one of his greatest

strengths is something that isn’ttalked about nearly enough,”Friedman said. “Everything Joedoes is under the guise to makethis organization better in both theshort term and the long term.

“‘He takes the time to get toknow each individual player andwhat their strengths are and whatmakes them tick,” Friedmanadded. “He creates an environ-ment for the players that instillsself-confidence and allow them toplay up to their talent level.”

Maddon was entering the finalseason of a three-year extensionhe signed in May 2009. Prior to hisarrival after spending more thanthree decades in the Angels organ-ization, the Rays went 518-775under the team’s three previousmanagers.

From New Yorkto Asia, Lin is ahoops sensation

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Bigger thanShaq? Larger than LeBron?The Knicks as NBA champions?

(Don’t laugh too hard at thatlast one. The odds are gettingbetter, according to one onlinesports book.)

Nothing seems too Lin-possible now after JeremyLin’s incredible first week asan NBA starter, and the storykeeps getting better.

The undrafted player fromHarvard made a 3-pointer withfive-tenths of a second leftTuesday night to give theKnicks a 90-87 victory atToronto. The Knicks returnedhome Wednesday to hostSacramento, looking for a sev-enth straight victory that wouldget them back to .500 after an 8-15 start.

Lin joined the rotation onlythen, starting the last fivegames, so hold off on makinghim a Michael Jordan,Shaquille O’Neal or LeBronJames just yet. But the Knickshave seen enough to believethis ride may last a whilelonger.

“I don’t know when there’san ending, maybe there won’t,”coach Mike D’Antoni said.

Lin’s story has blown straightpast the New York sports pagesand all their cute headlineslike “Va-Lin-tine’s Day,” all theway to a basketball-crazed con-

tinent on the other side of theworld, where he’s been “kindof like the great Asian hope,”said Orin Starn, professor andchair of Cultural Anthropologyat Duke.

Lin has done wonders forshares of Madison SquareGarden Inc., the company thatowns the Knicks, the Gardenand the namesake sports net-work. The stock has surged 9percent since Lin began hisheroics Feb. 4, reaching anall-time high of $33.18 earlierthis week before retreatingslightly to close at $31.91Wednesday.

“Rangers and Knicks fans dotend to buy the stock when theteams are doing well,” saidMiller Tabak analyst DavidJoyce.

And Linsanity has reachedAmerica’s most powerful bas-ketball fan, with PresidentBarack Obama talking aboutLin’s winner Wednesday.

After going undrafted andbouncing around the NBA, NewYork Knicks point guard JeremyLin is the hottest player in theleague over the past six games.Associated Press

SAMANTHA CRITCHELLAP Fashion Writer

NEW YORK — All the trappingsof the big fashion show were there:models, music, and lots and lots ofpeople. But to one of the world’smost famous designers, all that fusswas invisible. When it was time forthe models to hit the runway topresent his next collection at NewYork Fashion Week, the only thingOscar de la Renta saw was theclothes.

Watching the legendary 79-year-old backstage Tuesday night as heprepped the models moments be-fore sending them down the run-way, it was clear that de la Renta isvirtually immune to the circus andhype that accompanies New YorkFashion Week, the twice-annualpreviews of designer clothing.Never mind the hundreds oftastemakers in the audience fromaround the world, from buyers andjournalists to celebrities and loyalcustomers, a group that on thisnight included Vogue editor AnnaWintour, a close friend. Never mindthe scores of assistants backstagetrying to carry out his vision. For dela Renta, despite decades in thebusiness, each show commands histotal attention as a personal unveil-ing of a labor of love.

For the 15 minutes it took to pa-rade his fall collection on the cat-walk, with a reporter from TheAssociated Press observing by hisside, de la Renta sat on a plain stooljust out of sight from the crowd,carefully examining each look andspeaking to no one. It’s a processhe’s gone through literally hun-dreds of times — with two, three orsometimes four fashion shows ayear — since launching his label in1965. But it never gets old.

“Oh my goodness, show day is notlike any other day,” de la Renta saidan hour before the lights went up.“Regardless of how good or bad acollection might be, it’s a letdownafter the show is over. It’s done.Something you’ve worked on formonths is just over. It’s like a wed-ding day, but at least then you getthe wedding night.”

He added: “This is a part of you.”He checked the music, tapping

his toe to “Maniac” from “Flash-dance,” and greeted familiar facespopping in pre-show, from his wife,

Annette, to Bergdorf Goodman CEOJim Gold to stylist Rachel Zoe, whoshowed de la Renta photos of herbaby on her phone. Throughout itall, he was a vision of calm, with nolast-minute changes, no barking or-ders. The backstage swarm in-cluded dressers, makeup artistsand publicists, and he seemed toknow them all by name as he nod-ded approvingly at their work. Buthe also said the buck stops withhim.

“I check every look sitting here.They’ll tell me to let her (a model)go, but I see everything, every hairout of place or thread that is hang-ing,” he said. “I have to be sure it’scoming out the way I envisioned it.”

At Tuesday’s show, he gently heldthe arm of each model until he wasready for her to start moving — inspite of producers telling her tohurry up. He fluffed the tiers of agown on its way out. And he sent thelast model, Arizona Muse, to jointhe others in the group lineup thatends every preview even thoughshe was a few beats behind the oth-ers. The handlers had told her shewasn’t going to make it in time forthe carefully paced finale parade ofall the outfits, and some yelled ather to stop. But de la Renta signaledgo, and despite being out of step,she ended up with a few extra mo-ments in the spotlight to show off afrothy silver gown.

The audience couldn’t tellwhether the delay was a glitch orfor effect, but when the applausestarted as she stepped onto the cat-walk, de la Renta smiled. He fol-lowed, going out for his bow —actually a quick wave — mouthing“Thank you, thank you.”

At most shows, security guardsusually swoop in at this point, cut-ting off audience access to design-ers and their backstage havens. Dela Renta, though, lingered near thedoor, sans entourage, for a quickword with the American Vogueteam and flamboyant editor ofJapanese Vogue, Anna Della Russo.He watched editors, stylists and re-tailers make their way to the eleva-tors, giving the occasionalhandshake or peck on the cheek.

Another show was over, and it’shard to tell if it’s his years of expe-rience or personality that allowedhim to take it all in stride. Not thatother designers are crazed egoma-niacs. The process of putting on afashion show, especially from theinside, is far more professional thanTwitter photos and reality showsmight suggest.

Saturdayin OzelloOzello is hands down

one of the coolestplaces in Citrus

County. In fact, it was myvery favorite destinationduring my early years inthis area and remains sotoday.

If you are familiar withthe village of Ozello orwould like a chance tovisit Old Florida on theNature Coast, then markSaturday on your calen-dar.

It’s time for the seventhannual Chili Cook-Off andCraft Show from 9 a.m. to4 p.m., sponsored by theOzello Civic Associationand the Chronicle. Chili“tastings” will start at 11a.m., or you can have thechili dinner for $5.

To get there, turn weston Ozello Trail off U.S. 19south of Crystal River anddrive about 6 1/2 miles tothe festival site. Admis-sion is free for the daylongevent.

When I first moved toCitrus County and beganwork for the Chronicle atthe old Beverly Hills En-quirer, I discovered thehistoric village of Ozelloand the trail that ends atthe shore of the Gulf ofMexico.

There wasn’t much atthe end of that trail in thelate ’70s, and it’s still apretty pristine settingwhere crab traps, whitefishing boots, nets andsolid citizens are the back-bone of the community.

Just getting to the end ofOzello Trail is an adven-ture, over the curvy roadwith water birds, sawgrasshammocks, tidal pools,mangroves and thickstands of palmettos alongboth sides. About six milesout, you reach the smallvillage of Ozello. But whenyou drive another four orfive miles, you cross ashort causeway to inlandwaters of the gulf.

That’s after passing alandmark seafood restau-rant, Peck’s Old Port Cove,where soft-shell crabs areharvested and fried upgolden brown everyspring. It is where weonce spent hours pickingthe sweet meat from buck-ets of fresh blue crabspread on newspapers atpicnic tables overlookingthe channels.

In the 1970s, there stillexisted at the end of thetrail another inn andrestaurant, Pirates Cove, apopular tourist destina-tion until it was eventuallytoo damaged by storms tobe restored. Still, we hadgreat times Sunday after-noons gathering at the di-lapidated resort ruinsnear the water’s edge, tip-ping a brew or two andsinging along at im-promptu guitar gigs bylocal musicians.

Time pauses at thewater’s edge past Ozello,offering salt spray, bril-liant sunsets and whis-pers of a timeless Floridaback in the day.

The best of old Ozellocan be seen in TomBrown, whose pioneerfamily dates back to whenonly about a half-dozenfamilies were there.Brown grows hot da’tilpeppers he uses in hislarge variety of his home-made jellies and spreadsthat are popular through-out Central Florida. Hereis one of his recipes:

On our woodenkitchen table, Ihave two nursery

flats holding three vari-eties of mint I rootedfrom cuttings. The blendof beauty, fragrance andvisual texture they cre-ate is wonderful.

The first variety,known as pineapple mint(Mentha suaveolens“Variegata”), is a cultivarof apple mint. Thesquare stems and oppo-site leaves are fuzzy (another namefor apple mint is woolly mint).

Pineapple mint is characterizedby light green foliage with white

patches. It makes a strik-ing ground cover and pro-vides a pleasing visualcontrast to its darkercousins. The leaves canbe used to make tea, gar-nish salads and enhanceham glazes. The combina-tion of pineapple fra-grance and mint flavor iscaptivating. Pineap-ple mint and other vari-eties of apple mint handlefull-sun exposure betterthan many mints.

Sharing the flat with pineapplemint, the next herb we encounter isspearmint (Mentha spicata). A closeinspection of the deep green tex-

tured leaves reveals the marginsare softly serrated with a pointedtip, hence the name ‘spear’ mint.The smooth square stems are a pur-plish color.

As with all mints, spearmintprefers moist soil and spreads bymeans of runners called stolons.This property of mints leads manypeople to grow mint in containersor plant deep edging around themint bed to prevent spreading. Insome parts of the world, mint can beinvasive.

While pineapple mint tends tohave a sprawling growth habit,spearmint grows upright, reaching 2to 3 feet in height. In my experience,spearmint thrives if it receives some

shade during the hottest part of theday. Spearmint produces pink orwhite flowers on spikes.

The clean fragrance and taste ofspearmint is unmistakable. EveryMay in Kentucky, the festive atmos-phere surrounding the KentuckyDerby is highlighted with the flavorand fragrance of mint juleps.Spearmint-garnished iced tea is aSouthern tradition. Spearmint jellyaccompanies and enhances roastlamb. Middle Eastern and Asiandishes often feature spearmint.

The final mint in our collectionhas dark green leaves with reddishveins. This shade-loving mint gives

It’s a little past 7 a.m. andthe bright glow in theeastern sky looks like a

promise for a sunny day. Thesun is always welcome at thistime of the year.

The ground is coveredwith snow again and the tem-peratures are colder. It fi-nally feels like winter.Saturday morning our ther-mometer showed 6 degrees.The past few days the morn-ing temperature has beenaround 20.

The new stove is heatingwell and is saving us coal. Itwas high time for a new one.

I am making coffee. I don’tdrink coffee every morning,but it feels like I need somethis morning. I was up withdaughter Lovina, 7, for partof the night. She came to ourbedroom and told us she hasto throw up. Before I couldget her to our bathroom, shethrew up on our floor. Sigh.

I thought she felt warm, soI took her temperature. Itshowed 103. After some feverreducer, she is sleeping well.She didn’t even wake up withthe commotion of the otherchildren getting ready forschool.

When my children get sickand I tend to their needs, mythoughts often go back to mymother. She was alwaysthere for us when we weresick and I would often think“doesn’t she ever get tired?”Now that I see it from amother’s point of view, it justseems natural to take care of

them while they are sick.Sitting there in the middle

of the night holding Lovina, itmakes me think of how fortu-nate and blessed we trulyare. The quiet and peaceful-ness of the night somehowgives a person time to thinkback over the years. In May, itwill be 12 years since my dearfather passed away. But everyFeb. 17, my thoughts are withhim as he would celebrateanother birthday if he werestill here. If he had lived, hewould be 81 this month.

On Friday, Feb. 17, therewill be no school. School alsowill be closed the followingMonday. The children are ex-cited about having two four-day school weeks. That istheir mid-winter break.

Wednesday will be their100th day of school for thisyear. Lovina and Kevin’sclass do something speciallike bring in 100 small itemsto count. I probably will letthem take buttons. Kevin’sclass has to bring 100 piecesof something edible like ce-real, marshmallows, choco-late chips, cookies, pretzelsor so forth. They mix it all to-

gether and call it “100 Hash,”which they all enjoy eating.

Daughter Elizabeth stayswith three young childrenthree days a week while theirmother works. She watches1-year-old twins and a 3-year-old boy. She enjoys the chil-dren and is used to watchingover little ones from her ex-perience being the oldest ofeight.

On Tuesday, Elizabeth andSusan will clean a housenearby. I miss their helpwhen they are home, butthey like to earn money, too.

Last week, I sowed Ben-jamin and Kevin each a newpant. I have another one cutout for Kevin, which I hope tosew this week. Kevin has hada growth spurt and needslonger pants.

I also have material tomake me a few new dresses.It seems I sew for everyoneelse in the family and put offmy own sewing. I sure coulduse a few new dresses.

Another sewing project Ihope to do is make the boysnew Sunday pants and jack-ets. I don’t mind sewing thepants, but the jackets are notmy favorite things.

Kevin brought home a fakesnake from school and theboys had fun trying to scareme with it. This morning Iwent to put the eggs back inthe refrigerator and I almostdropped them when I sawthe snake between food con-tainers. I imagine they wouldhave laughed if they would

have seen me drop them. Itseems I should be used tothat trick by now.

I’ll conclude the column bysharing this great recipe for“banana nut coffee cake.”

“Our dough is madefresh every day and so isthe homemade sauce —there is nothing out of acan,” he said. “All thedishes, such as the lasagna,are freshly made, too.”

Featuring daily specialsare new to the menu. It isan innovation Brothers’ pa-trons seem to appreciate.The eatery seats up to 44patrons with booths and ta-bles, plus a couple of um-brella-covered tablesoutside.

Randall, however, hasn’tchanged everything, espe-cially one particular pizzain high demand.

The Brothers Veggie, atasty pie topped withspinach, mushrooms,tomatoes and garlic over awhite sauce. Pizza pricesrange from $5.95 for the 10-inch cheese up to $20.95 foran 18-inch specialty piesuch as the Aloha Retreat,Farmer’s Market, HouseSpecial and Mighty Meat,to name a few.

Randall explained hisstart in the pizza businessbegan when he was 16 anddelivered pies for a Greekpizzeria. He learned theoperation and bought therestaurant at age 21, even-tually expanding to man-agement of three pizzeriasin Massachusetts.

He said he relocated toFlorida to be near his fa-ther, Allen Randall, who re-tired in Citrus County andassists his son at Brothers.

There is more than pizza,however. New items in-clude oven-baked crustybread bowls with yourchoice of filling: chili,chicken parmesan, hotsausage with sautéedonions and green peppersin a meat sauce with Moz-zarella, or meatballs inmeat sauce and Moz-zarella. Each one is $6.50and makes a hearty meal.

Randall kicked the appe-tizers up a notch withchoices such as raspberrycoconut shrimp, $8.95; andcheese breadsticks withvarious toppings, from $1 toextra large for $2. Toppingsinclude a big variety ofmeat, chicken, ham, veg-

etables, peppers andcheese.

Some starter specialsfeature deep-fried mush-rooms, Mozzarella andbroccoli nuggets — andsomething unexpected,fresh deep-fried duck bitetenders.

Greek, chicken, Caesargarden and antipasto sal-ads are available, rangingfrom $5.95 to $8.95.

Pasta dishes are plenti-ful and portions are large,including spaghetti or zitiwith meat sauce or meat-balls, lasagna, stuffedshells and cheese ravioli,from $7.95 to $8.95.

Delivery within a five-mile radius is brand newfor Brothers, with a $10minimum order and $2 de-livery fee.

Service is friendly andfast at Brothers with Ash-ley Wixson in charge of thedining room. If you’re in ahurry, pizza by the slice isavailable along with othercarry-out items.

Brothers Pizza is in Crys-tal Springs (Publix) Shop-ping Center, east of CrystalRiver on State Road 44.Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.Monday through Saturdayand noon to 9 p.m. Sunday.For delivery and carry-outorders or other informa-tion, call 352-564-9374.

Here is Keith Randall’sown special Alfredo sauce:

ALFREDO KEITH

■ 1 cup butter

■ 8 cups heavy cream

■ 4 cups Parmesancheese, grated

■ 1 teaspoon salt

■ 2 teaspoons pepper

Melt butter and stir inenough Parmesan cheeseto form paste. Add heavycream to cheese and blend.Add salt and pepper.

Brothers Pizza is in the Crystal Springs (Publix) ShoppingCenter, east of Crystal River.

Beer is America’s pref-erence when it comesto an alcoholic drink.

Archaeologistsdate its discoverysomewhere near10,000 B.C. It wasthe first of theworld’s six lead-ing beverages.Others in order ofadvent werewine, followed bytea, spirits, coffee,and guess what,Coca Cola.

Winemakinghas been aroundalmost as long asbeer brewing. Scientific ev-idence suggests it was firstproduced in the region ofAsia known as Armenia andnorthern Iraq, in the pre-history era of 9000 to 4000B.C.

Three important factorsled ancient vintners to theidea: the presence of natu-ral grapes of the family“Vitus Vinifera” (the verysame kind we drink today),the availability of cerealcrops which allowed peopleto settle down in one spot,and crucially the inventionof pottery, essential in mak-ing, storing and drinkingwine with storage being thecritical factor.

Real evidence has shownup in the form of residue inpottery jars precisely datedto about 5400 B.C. in an areanear Mount Ararat, re-flected in the story of Noahin the Bible, who is said tohave planted the first vine-yard. And incidentally, hemay have suffered the origi-nal hangover fromoverindulging, if you re-member the story.

Knowledge of winemak-ing now spread west,

through the present-day re-gion of the Middle East andthen down to Egypt. The

pharaohs itseems quicklyacquired a realtaste for the stuffand establishedvineyards in thefertile NileDelta, so that do-mestic produc-tion was underway in a big wayby 3000 B.C.

But the “bigway,” it seems,was restricted toupper classes

only. Everyone else stuck tobeer, doubtless because itwas a lot cheaper to make.We know this becausecountless depictions of winedrinking are in the many ex-amples of tomb paintingsunearthed in graves of theelite upperclass.

No one disputes the cra-dle of Western thought owesits debt to the Greekthinkers of the 5th and 6thcenturies B.C. whose writ-ings laid the basis for mod-ern Western philosophy,politics science and law.

Wine played a huge rolein Greek society of this age.It was the centerpiece of thecountless ceremonial din-ner parties, where Greekcitizens opined with aca-demic discussions. Onlybarbarians, they believed,drank beer.

Thucydides, perhaps theworld’s first historian, wrotein 5th century, “The peoplesof the Mediterranean beganto emerge from barbarianismwhen they learned to culti-vate the olive and the grape.”

Treatises were written ongrape farming with adviceon pruning, harvesting and

pressing. Better methodsled to a less-expensive prod-uct for consumers, as well asbecoming a cash cow forfarmers who made 20 timesmore from grape growingthan from grain cultivation.

In a word, wine drinkingfor Greece was equatedwith genteel civilization, the“good life.”

Jump now to the 2nd cen-tury B.C., when imperialRome began to displace theGreeks as the dominantpower in the Mediterraneanworld. Roman society wasmodeled on the Greek andwine played a significantrole. Farming, as with war,was a principal piece ofRoman civilization, andgrape growing was consid-ered a further symbol of asophisticated Roman ap-proach to life.

By 70 A.D., the Romanwriter Pliny the Elder toldus 80 or more differentwines of note were in theRoman world. Its popularityactually surpassed grainfarming, so cereals had to beimported from abroad. Wineeventually was consumed byaristocrat and peasant alikeas an everyday beverage ofchoice.

But snobbism was aliveand well it ancient days.Wealthy Romans pridedthemselves on recognizingthe finest wines, a sign ofconspicuous consumption,much like what goes on todayamong the rich and famous.

Wine was almost alwaysmixed with water along withother additives so as to con-ceal spoilage. These additivesincluded salt, seawater andsweeteners such as honey,and even roses. Travelersoften carried herbs to im-prove the flavor of bad wine.

Roman armies conquereda good part of Europe andbrought with them wine-making techniques that in-fluenced what eventuallybecome the countries ofFrance and Spain.

The former passed on itslove of the grape to Englishsociety, and with the inven-tion of the glass bottle andthe cork seal, the rest is asthey say, “history.”

Today, the presence ofwine in everyday societyseems to be increasing byleaps and bounds. India andChina with more than 3 bil-lion potential drinkers haveentered the arena.

Who knows how long be-fore humans may be toast-ing each other among thestars of the Milky Way?

Let’s finish with a bit oftrivia.

What was the most expen-sive bottle of wine ever purchased?

Answer: a 1787 Lafitte(France) bought by MalcolmForbes for $160,000, report-edly owned by Thomas Jefferson.

Anecdote has it, due toimproper storage, the oldcork popped out and thecontents spilled; now mak-ing it the “most expensiveempty bottle ever purchased.”

Question: how many gen-tle readers can accuratelydescribe a blind tasting? An-swer next week.

Annual event coming up Friday

C4 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2012 CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLEENTERTAINMENT

PHILLIP ALDERNewspaper Enterprise Assn.

Douglas William Jerrold, an English dramatistand writer who died in 1857, said, “He was sobenevolent, so merciful a man that, in his mistakenpassion, he would have held an umbrella over aduck in a shower of rain.”

Today’s deal involves several ducks of the un-feathered variety, some more successful than oth-ers. What are they?

South is in three no-trump. West leads hisfourth-highest diamond and East plays the queen.

When South denied a four-card major in answerto Stayman, North understandably hoped that thediamond suit would not prove a fatal liability inno-trump. Five clubs looked unlikely with hishand, although it could have been made.

South has seven top tricks: two spades, threehearts, one diamond (given trick one) and oneclub. At least three extra tricks can come fromclubs, but is there a danger in diamonds?

Yes! Note that if declarer takes the first trick andruns the club queen, East wins and returns the di-amond seven (the higher of two remaining cards).Whether South covers with his jack or ducks, thedefenders run the suit for down one.

Now let’s go back and permit declarer to duckat trick one. East leads back the diamond seven.What happens now?

If South covers with the jack or king, it is West’sturn to duck, keeping communication with hispartner. Again the contract fails.

But declarer can duck for a second time, lettingEast win with his seven. Now the contract makes.

Dear Annie: After eightyears at my job, I was letgo. I have a felony record.

The CEO who knew of my back-ground retired last year. He felt Ihad proved myself and had noproblem with me. When he re-tired, we got an in-terim CEO. I told himabout my record assoon as he came onboard. Today, he de-cided our companywould have a zero-tol-erance policy for anycriminal records, so Iwas fired.

Annie, I voluntarilytold my supervisors ofmy conviction. Iworked hard to show Ihad overcome myrecord. Was this a fairthing for the tempo-rary CEO to do? Shouldn’t I havebeen “grandfathered” in? I wastold if I kept to the straight andnarrow, I would be fine. I havenot done one thing out of line anddon’t plan to. My conviction wasmore than eight years ago. Butapparently, my honesty didn’t payoff. No one forgives. No one be-lieves me. I am devastated. Whatcan I do? — Think I’m a GoodPerson

Dear Good Person: If a com-pany fires you because of yourrace, sexual preference, genderor religion, you would be able tosue them for wrongful termina-tion. If the zero-tolerance policywas implemented solely to skirtaround one of the reasons listedabove, you might have a case.Otherwise, there doesn’t seem tobe much recourse, although youcould consult an attorney. Please

know your eight-year record asan exemplary employee shouldhelp you land another job at amore tolerant company. Also con-tact the Safer Foundation (saferfoundation.org) for suggestionsand assistance.

Dear Annie: Mylongtime boyfriendand I recently mar-ried. My entire familywas there. They adoremy husband. But not asingle member of hisfamily attended ourlittle church wedding.

The morning of ourwedding, one of hissisters texted my fi-ance and askedwhether it was “doneyet.” When I made acomment on my Face-book page about how

amazing my new husband is, thissame sister rudely commented,“Enough already.”

My boyfriend finally told methis sister thought we shouldmarry in a Catholic church, de-spite the fact that I am notCatholic and both of us attend anon-Catholic church. I believethis is why his family didn’t rec-ognize our special day. I am re-ally hurt. Should I say somethingor simply ignore this? — BitingMy Tongue in Colorado

Dear Colorado: Your husbandshould have told you about hisfamily’s religious objections be-fore you married. An intermar-riage is hardly a trivial matter,and if you have been with thisman for a long time, we are sur-prised you were not aware of theissue. If his family is otherwiseaccepting, we would let this go.

We also suggest you discuss theproblem with your clergypersonand ask for guidance.

Dear Annie: The letter from“Put Out in Peoria,” whose fam-ily members boycott one an-other’s weddings, is a sad butclassic example of the many pettyfamily feuds that make their wayinto your column. Everyone hasflaws, and family members hurtone another’s feelings, usuallyunintentionally, perhaps becauseof conflicts or envy going all theway back to childhood. Bad be-havior and selfishness should notbe condoned.

However, I’d like to suggestanyone who is fuming about heryoung children not being invitedto a wedding or about hercousin’s claiming Grandma’s gar-net ring that was promised to hershould pause to consider all thereal suffering there is in theworld — such as the person downthe block with terminal cancer orthe friend whose child was killedby a drunk driver. Just grow upand get over it. — Rude in Red-way, Calif.

off the wonderful aromathat identifies it as pepper-mint. Peppermint (Mentha xpiperita) is a hybrid that is across between watermintand spearmint.

As is the case with mosthybrids, peppermint is usu-ally sterile but spreads bymeans of its stolons. Pep-permint makes one of themost delicious mint teas.Peppermint and other mintsmay be used fresh, dried orfrozen with water in icecube trays.

Mint is a perennial fa-vorite of our patrons at theInverness Farmer’s Market.

The wide variety of mintsavailable offers year-roundbeauty in the landscape andculinary opportunities inthe kitchen.

My grandson introducedme to a novel use for mint oneday in our garden. I observedhim picking a mint leaf, thenpicking a sweet leaf from astevia plant and proceedingto chewing them both to-gether with great relish.

Perhaps all of us can ap-proach our old friends themints with a new sense ofdiscovery. Happy landscap-ing and happy eating!

Associated Press

ORLANDO — The air inthe parking lot of Orlando’sCitrus Bowl smells like freshcut oranges, shrimp and bar-becue. A crowd has gatheredbefore the game around aguy in a black chef’s coat. Acamera crew orbits as hesets some shrimp and starmelon kebabs on the grillwith a flourish.

“Florida seafood — yagotta love it!” the guy said,grinning.

The crowd cheers. Thecameraman is happy.

A man walks up and in-quires about the hoopla.Someone in the crowd tellshim the man in black isJustin Timineri, the statechef of Florida who’s film-ing a spot for ABC.

“Never heard of him,”said Paul Pedersen, of Or-lando. “He’s like the gover-nor’s mansion kinda deal? Ihad no idea we had a statechef.”

Move over, Mario Batali.Step aside, Gordon Ramsay.There’s a new chef on thecusp of celebrity in the U.S.,and he’s from Florida.

Timineri is part culinaryambassador, part farm ex-pert and part cheerleaderfor Florida-grown food.Technically, he’s a state em-ployee working for theFlorida Department ofAgriculture — and he’s theonly full-time state chef inthe nation.

Timineri — tall, bald andknown for wearing colorfulsneakers — travels the Sun-shine State showing peoplehow to use the state’s pro-duce and seafood inrecipes. He creates healthymenus for people on food

stamps and limited in-comes and promotes thestate’s food during trademissions around the worldand in TV spots. Nextmonth, he’s headed to Brus-sels to talk up Floridagrouper at the world’slargest seafood expo.

It makes sense for thestate to market its bounty:Agriculture is Florida’s No.2 industry, and unliketourism, the No. 1 business,farming didn’t suffer muchin the recession. Florida isthe nation’s top producer oforanges, grapefruit and

sugarcane. It’s also No. 1with a range of vegetables,from snap peas to squashand sweet corn, accordingto the U.S. Department ofAgriculture.

“He is such a fantasticambassador not only forpromoting products grownin Florida,” said FloridaAgriculture CommissionerAdam Putnam, “but he’salso a terrific ambassadorwith kids.”

Timineri has a new mis-sion this year: teachingschoolchildren to eathealthier.
