Citrus County Sheriff's Office detec-
tives are investigating a homicide; the
first murder within the county this year,
apart from murder-suicides.
At 5:49 a.m. Saturday, a person driv-
ing along Trail 10 off County Road 581
in Inverness called authorities after
seeing the body of a young adult black
male lying on the dirt road. The victim
has been identified as. Mario Jean-
Jacques, a 20-year-old from Orlando.
The location was about a quarter-
mile west of the intersection of Trail 10
and South Frost Point. Detectives
believe the death occurred sometime
after midnight.early Saturday morning,
Citrus Couinfty Sheriff's Office spokes-
woman Heather Yates said.
"It was a violent death," Sheriff Jeffrey
J. Dawsy said. The cause of death was
not released because the murder is an
ongoing investigation.

lethargic, slow to respond and

The one thing the man did
know was that he had taken a

Sheriff's Office Vice and

According to the National

Opioids are commonly pre-

Couey's
appeal to

TERRY WITT

Assistant State Attorney
Pete Magrino said Friday that

dled, as far as

Supreme Court has been

one national
issue to surface.
Couey's attorneys filed a
motion in 2006 asking Circuit
Judge Ric Howard to declare
Florida's use of lethal injec-
tion for executions unconstitu-
tional, calling it cruel and
unusual punishment. They
said the Eighth Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution prohibits
cruel and unusual punishment
in executions. Howard denied
the motion.
Lethal injection as a legal
issue was just gaining momen-
tum in 2006. Attorneys for the
public defender's office in
Inverness, who defended
Couey, lost the motion in
Howard's court, but filing the
motion preserved their right to
challenge Howard's decision if
an appeal was necessary.
"I'm sure that will be one of
the points they will raise in the
appeal," said Magrino, one of
the state prosecutors in
Couey's murder trial.
The constitutionality of
lethal injection also is being
vetted on a national stage. Two
Kentucky death-row inmates
are challenging the constitu-
tionality of lethal injection in
appeals before the U.S.
Supreme Court Kentucky uses
the same lethal injection
process and chemicals as
Florida. The outcome of those
cases could affect Florida
death-row inmates like Couey
In Florida, if Couey were
executed for the 2005 murder
of 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford,
he would be injected with a
cocktail of three chemicals the
state says would humanely put
him to sleep, paralyze his body
and stop his heart, in that
order. But critics claim that
even veterinarians won't use
the three-chemical process for
the euthanasia of animals
because it is too painful, so it
should not be used on con-
demned prisoners.
Daniel Lewan, who heads

Inverness, declined comment

* WHAT: Crystal River City
Council meeting.
WHEN: 7 p.m. Monday.
WHERE: City Hall on
U.S. 19.
ON THE WEB: www.
crystalriverfl.org.
The Legislature created a
pilot program that allowed for
dogs in outdoor dining areas if
communities decide to partici-
pate. To do so, the city must
amend its land development
code.
The ordinance, if approved,
refers only to dogs. The ordi-
nance, in fact, includes a defini-
tion: "Dog means an animal of
the subspecies Canis lupus
familiaris."
Employees would be prohib-
ited from petting dogs while
serving food or drinks. Patrons
would keep their dogs on a
leash and under control; dogs
would not be permitted on
.tables or chairs.
-Restaurants would apply for
permits to allow patrons to have
dogs with them in outdoor din-
ing areas. The restaurants
would post signs for patrons
and employees letting them
know dogs might be on the
premises.
The city council meets at 7
p.m. Monday at city hall.

* QUESTION: Inverness City manager Frank DiGiovanni has reopened the debate in
the county over impact fees by suggesting the city wanted to opt out of the fees. Has
the county overreached on impact fees?
* YOUR ANSWERS:
A. Yes. The impact fees are unreasonable and stifle growth. (140 votes, 68.2 percent.)
B. No. We need the money to keep pace with infrastructure needs. (38 votes, 18.5 percent.)
C. Yes. The numbers are skewed because of sprawl. (11 votes, 5.3 percent.)
D. No. We pay enough in taxes without paying impact fees. (16 votes, 7.8 percent.)

JACKSONVILLE A three-
judge panel says a lawsuit can
proceed against the operator
of a plane that crashed in
Afghanistan in 2004, killing
three Army soldiers.
The contractor operating
the plane, Presidential
Airways Inc., is the aviation
subsidiary of N.C.-based
Blackwater USA. Three
Blackwater USA employees
were also killed in the crash.
The three judges rejected
those claim in a ruling Friday,
upholding a lower court's rul-
ing. Presidential could still
ask for a full hearing before all

CITRUS COUNTY (Fl.) CUHRONICLu
FIRE
Continued from Page 1A
combined the 12 county fire
districts into one district.
Both said it was little more
than a change
on paper
since the
county oper-
ates as one
department
anyway They
said the
change could
improve the
county's fire
rating used to
calculate
homeowners'
insurance.
Commissioners, though,
balked in part because Stover
hadn't discussed the idea
with volunteer firefighters.
They told Stover to do that
and then bring the proposal
back.
Stover acknowledged that
an emphasis on training has
forced some volunteer fire-
fighters to leave the county
service, but he said that num-
ber is small and only a minor-
ity is complaining.
Randy Headley, a Floral
City fire captain and volun-
teer for six or seven years,
said in an interview the anger
within the ranks is enough to
significantly drop the number
of volunteer firefighters to
dangerous levels.
Thrumston said the county
needs to find a balance
between the career fire pro-
gram and volunteers.
"I don't want to see us get to
the point where we don't have
volunteers," he said. "I can
see where Mr. Poliseno and
Chief Stover would say we
need to hire 100 firefighters,
then we'd have no choice but
to go to the taxpayers. People
are already going nuts over
their taxes."

Career program
grows, expands
Stover, 47, spent 22 years as a
Broward County firefighter
before taking the chief's job
with Citrus County two years
ago. He also said he's a third-
generation volunteer firefight-
er, so he knows
on said why a commu-
nity the size of
ty needs Citrus needs

balance Volunteer
firefighters are
he career paid a stipend
for each call,
ram and about $10.85.
According to
eers. the county's
fire services
master plan,
the trend shows firefighters
will respond to about 9,800
calls by 2010. The overwhelm-
ing majority of those calls are
to assist emergency medical
services in traffic accidents or
other incidents.
The county has 22 fire sta-
tions in 12 districts, though the
districts are a mainstay from
the day when the county was
divided into separate fire
areas. Each truck, for exam-
ple, carried the name of its
district: Beverly Hills,
Chassahowitkza, Citrus
Springs, Connell Heights,
DeRosa, Floral City, Gospel
Island, Hernando, Highlands,
Homosassa, Inverness and
Ozello.
Crystal River is also a fire
district, though it maintains its
own fire department separate
from the county. The city and
county are negotiating a possi-
ble merger.
Several years ago, the coun-
ty eliminated the Gospel
Island district and merged it
with Inverness.
As the county grew in popu-
lation, Citrus officials decided
to enact a career firefighter
program to provide more
immediate response. Nine
firefighters are assigned each
to Inverness, Homosassa and
Pine Ridge stations; Connell
Heights, just east of Crystal
River, will get a nine-member
batch of career firefighters in
about two weeks.
The firefighters work three
to a shift; stations are manned
24 hours a day.
Stover said he is consider-
ing moving one of those
manned stations to DeRosa for
strategic purposes. That's
because when a fire call goes
out, all the career stations
respond regardless of loca-
tion.
He said Beverly Hills has a
high response rate with its vol-
unteers. Since that station also
covers Pine Ridge and Citrus
Springs, the county could relo-
cate career firefighters from
Pine Ridge to DeRosa and not
lose service.
Stover said he doesn't
believe Citrus should have
career firefighters at all of its
stations, but he does think the
program should expand to
Sugarmill Woods, Floral City
and Hernando, plus DeRosa.
"I could get by with those
four for several years," Stover
said.

Training: How much
is too much?
When the fire services mas-
ter plan was completed in
2002, the county had about
200 volunteers. Today that
number is cut in half,
Thrumston said, and about
half are considered reliable
- meaning, they usually
respond to most calls.
Headley, who chairs the
Citrus County Fire Officers
Association, said the reduc-
tion is a direct result of
Stover's insistence that vol-
unteers follow the same
training regimen as career
firefighters.
He said that rather than
move the career firefighters
in with the volunteer system,
Stover is doing the opposite.
"It was meant to augment
the volunteer system,"
Headley said.
Stover said he isn't asking
anything of volunteers that
wasn't already on the books
- but not followed when
he arrived.
He said all firefighters
should be properly trained to
protect them and the public.
Stover said a handful of
volunteers refuse to receive
proper training because they
feel their experience is
enough. He said experience,
sometimes, is
flawed.
"When I
came here it v
people were
putting water to augn
on the out- volunteer
side of hous-
es," he said,
referring to a
firefighting
technique.
"You don't do about the career
that. It only
pushes the fire back into the
house."
He added: "The problem is
there's an attitude out there
that says once I've received
training, that's enough."
Headley said volunteers
want training, but at a time
that's convenient because
most of them work.
Overall, Headley said vol-
unteers feel unappreciated
by Stover and the fire admin-
istration.
"They feel like zombies
walking around," he said. "I

system. He said the-.
county's own,
master plan
pegged the
cost of hiring1

fighters at $5+
million.
He said it's time for com-n
missioners to decide which,
way to go.
"I'm all for change,,?
Thrumston said. "There's ai
point to where change is&
either good or bad for the
community. They haven't
been able to produce to met
the cost benefits of moving,
forward. I'm trying to make1
sure we don't implement this'
if it's not in the best interest
of the community and will
cost them in the long run." o

Death
Jo Ann Davis
CONGRESSWOMAN
RICHMOND, Va. U.S.
Rep. Jo Ann Davis, a
Republican who represented
southeastern Virginia for
seven years, died Saturday'
morning after a two-year bat-
tle with breast cancer, her
office said.
Davis, 57, died at her home
in Gloucester.
Davis was found to have
breast cancer in 2005 and had
a recurrence this year. Her
health took a turn for the
worse during the past week,
her office said.
She became Virginia's first
Republican woman elected to
Congress in 2000, and she was
a member of the House Armed
Services Committee and the
Foreign Affairs Committee.
"Her determination to fight
the disease is an inspiration to
all of us," President Bush said
in a statement.
"She was a fine example of a
public servant who worked
hard to cut government waste
to ensure the people's money
was used wisely," Bush said.
"Her common-sense values
will be missed on Capitol
Hill."
Gov. Timothy Kaine, a
Democrat, will schedule a spe-
cial election, probably before
the end of the year, to fill the
remaining year of Davis' term,
Kaine spokeswoman Delacey
Skinner said.
Her first piece of legislation,
passed by the House in 2001,
increased the life insurance
benefit paid to survivors of
military members killed on
duty
Before Congress, Davis
served four years in the
Virginia House of Delegates.
A conservative who came
from modest means, Davis was
known for her unquenchable
inquisitiveness and how
quickly and deeply she
learned about any legislative
issue.
"I always admired
Congresswoman Davis' strong
convictions and the tenacity
that she brought to bear in act-
ing on them," said U.S. Sen.
John W Warner, a fellow
Virginia Republican.
She attended Hampton
Roads Business College; she
got her real estate license in
1984 and her real estate bro-
ker's license four years later.
In 1990, she opened Jo Ann
Davis Realty.
She underwent chemother-
apy treatments and a mastec-
tomy when her cancer was
first diagnosed in 2005. When
the cancer returned, she
underwent chemotherapy
again and often monitored
hearings from home.
Survivors include her hus-
band, Chuck, two sons and a
granddaughter.

ings, from 1 to 10, to help set
homeowners insurance rates.
Stover said ISO awards rat-
ings points to departments for
training. He also said a single
county district would benefit the
ISO rating because the career
firefighters serve the entire
county regardless of where they
are stationed.
But the biggest chunk of the
fire rating is based on the prox-
imity of fire stations and fire
hydrants, said Linda Van Allen,
of Van Allen-Clifford Insurance
Agency Inc. of Inverness.
Most of Citrus County has an
ISO rating of 6 if fire hydrants
are located within 1,000 feet of
the homes. In areas without fire
hydrants, the ISO rating is 9.
Van Allen said insurance rates
are virtually unaffected in most
areas without a water supply,
regardless of the ISO rating. An
ISO rating of 9 increases premi-
ums 15 percent to 35 percent on
homes, she said.
But one Citrus Hills home- .
owner said his rates would drop
$345 a year if the ISO dropped
from 6 to 4.
Mac McGarry, a former fire-
fighter, said he sat on his depart-
ment's ISO board in Illinois.
McGarry, who has a fire hydrant
nearby, said insurance rates
would drop if Citrus County had
a career fire service.
"What's killing us is response
time," he said. "We're not deal-
ing with the '60s and '70s any-
more."

ABOUT THE ISO
The Insurance Services
Office (ISO) of Jersey City,
N.J., collects information on
municipal fire protection
efforts, analyzes the data,
then assigns a rating from 1
to 10. Insurance companies
use that rating to help deter-
mine insurance rates for
homeowners.
1 is the best; 10 is the
worst. Generally, homeown.
ers can only receive a rating
greater than 9 if homes are
not within 1,000 feet of a
fire hydrant.
Here are the ISO ratings
per fire district in Citrus
County Each are set up
hydrant, no hydrant (one
number means there are
hydrants in that district).
Beverly Hills: 5.

inhumane, but he said it's cer-
tainly more humane than what
happened to Jessica Lunsford.
Jessie, as she was nick-
named, was raped by Couey
before being buried alive in
garbage bags behind the dilap-
idated mobile home where he
lived near Homosassa
Springs. Magrino likened her
death to a drowning. The mur-
der occurred in 2005.
"She went through a suffo-
cating process," Magrino said.
"It was not a fast process in
which she met her death."
'1 OIi c ,,, -18t
The appeal is likely to pro-
duce a mountain of paper-
work. The trial in Miami
reportedly created a tran-
script of 7,000 to 8,000 pages.
Thousands more pages are
contained in the 36 file folders
stored at the clerk's office in
Inverness. The first Couey
murder trial in Tavares, which
failed to produce a jury,
resulted in thousands more
pages of documents.
Court documents on the
Florida Supreme Court Web
site say Lewan has identified
54 judicial acts by Howard
that he wants reviewed by the
justices as part of the appeal,
including improper limita-
tions on the jury selection
process, Howard's refusal to
withdraw from the case and
holding the trial in Miami
instead of returning to Citrus
County after the jury was
selected.
On the other hand, Magrino
said Howard ran an error-free
trial and left no openings for
Couey's lawyers to exploit.
Couey will live for many
years before he is executed,
assuming his health holds up,
as he awaits the outcome of
his appeal. Magrino said the
average death row inmate
waits 13.2 years before the
appeals process is exhausted.
Appellate attorneys for the
public defender's office in
Daytona Beach will handle
Couey's appeal. Those attor-
neys probably won't receive,
the volumes of court records
they need for the appeal for
several months, and probably
won't file their legal argu-
ments in the case for a year.
Howard was tasked in a'
Sept. 11 order from the
Florida Supreme Court with
ensuring a complete trial
record is properly prepared
for the appeal. He also was
ordered to preside over a sta-
tus conference on Couey's'
appeal before Nov. 11. The
high court appointed Daniel
B. Merritt Sr., chief judge of
the Fifth Judicial Circuit, to'
monitor preparation of the'
record.

"Nationally there is a trend
where pharmaceutical drugs as
a whole are being abused,"
Ferrara said.
He's heard people credit the
r
9.
increase to a variety of reason .
Some say people are turning to
pharmaceuticals because
drugs that used to be smuggled
in are less available because of
increased security at borders
and in airports. Others say drug
users get frus-
trated with
drugs such as
ople need cocain e,
which can be
mber it's less pure, or
cut with some-
al if it's thing danger-
and used ous unknown
to the user so
they turn
to. FDA
approved
stin Ferrara pharmaceuti-
ription drug abuse. calls where the
same high can
always be
expected based on the mil-
ligram.
In Citrus County, Ferrara
said people are getting into
trouble when they begin mixing
pharmaceuticals with other
prescriptions and elicit drugs.
All the recent drug overdose
deaths in the county were relat-
ed to drug mixing.
To help combat people trying
to get more prescriptions from
different doctors the sheriff's
office created the Pharmacy
Diversion Program. One deputy
is dedicated to the unit and acts
as a direct link for doctors and
pharmacists to contact with
suspicions of fraud.
He figures about half of the
people abusing pharmaceuti-
cals are getting them legally.
The rest are buying them on the
street. One reason why Xanax
is seen more often in Citrus is
because the pills typically sell
for $1 to $10 each while
Oxycontin goes for about $20.
What's hard for law enforce-
ment is that possessing the
drug is legal until it's sold. For
instance, Ferrara has seen
many instances where a person
prescribed Oxycontin will fill
the prescription, getting a dis-
count from their insurance
company. Next, they'll sell the
pills to make a profit howev-
er, up until the pills are sold,
the person with the prescrip-
tion can have them, unlike a

Another issue law enforce-
ment deal with is the percep-:
tion that using prescription
drugs illegally is not so illegal.
"People need to remember,"
Ferrara said, "it's legal only if
it's obtained and used legally."

and more comfortable than
traditional hearing aids. We
are seeking people with mild
to moderate hearing loss to
participate in the study. Both
current hearing aid users and
non-users are needed.
In exchange for completing
a pre-and post-fitting ques-
tionnaire, the participants
will earn the free use of this
hearing aid for thirty days. My
audiologists will provide the
exams and lab services at
no charge through the grant.
At the end of this thirty day
trial, participants will return
the aids to one of my clinics
or purchase the aids at a
discounted price.
For information or to
schedule a free candidate
screening, call us at

PATRICK MORAN/Spedal to the Chronicle
Patrick Moran went to Wyoming in June. He said this photo is a view on a road leading out of Riverton, where there are no struc-
tures on the 30-mile road, except for the tiny dots on the left, which are the remains of an abandoned ranch. It's called the
"Gas Hills," because there are some oil or gas rigs in the area.

14A SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2007 VETERANS NOTES CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE
Veterans Forum set for
Saturday Oct. 20 The year's
most informative gathering of veter-
ans' information, the "Veterans
Forum" will be from 10:30 a.m. to 2
p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, at the
Citrus County Board of Realtors
complex on State Road 44 in
Lecanto. There will be a contribu-
tion luncheon available, with local
entertainers performing on the
patio from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
with door prizes and 50/50 tickets
being sold to help raise funds for
the "Veterans Helping Veterans"
programs now sponsored by the
Citrus County Veterans Coalition.
The "Veterans Forum" speakers'
session will take the podium in the
main auditorium at 12:30 p.m. until
2 p.m. featuring representatives
from the Veterans Administration,
North Florida/South Georgia
Veterans Healthcare System and
national, state and county legisla-
tors dealing with questions of inter-
est on proposed changes and vet-
erans' benefits. If you are a veteran
of any era you can't afford to miss
this very important and information-
al opportunity. Come early to the
"Veterans Forum" as seating is lim-
ited. You will have an opportunity to
speak to your local representatives,
one on one, after the speaking ses-
sion.
This will also be an opportunity
to renew your annual Citrus County
Veterans Coalition dues. Check
your CCVC membership card for
the expiration date and renew for
one year at $10 or three years for
$25, which will include a quarterly
newsletter mailed to you directly.
Membership for many members
expired March 31, 2007. The purg-
ing of the membership roll has
been extended from Oct. 1 to Dec.
1, so don't miss out on this oppor-
tunity to get back on board. If your
organization is a group member of
the Coalition, this does not make
the individual veteran a voting
member of the Coalition.
We urge you to join us and get
involved with our very worthwhile
programs such as the Veterans'
Food Bank now serving 32 veteran
families and the Re-Education
Housing program, which is a work
in progress. The Coalition is also
looking for donations of food, fumi-
ture, bedding, appliances, clothing,
etc. to help out these needy veter-
an families.

ticipate in the planning process.
Any organization or person

Coordinated by the Citrus
County Chapter of the Military
Officers Association of America

with the Superintendent "Sam"
Himmel of the Citrus County

started by two teenagers to help
buy pre-paid calling cards to send
to our service people overseas. For
each cell phone that is donated, 72
minutes of talk time is given to our
troops to call their loved ones back
home. It is a great program, and
we would really appreciate the
community's involvement.
The program will accept any
make or model phone. You may
drop off phones and attached bat-
teries as well as accessories at any
Citrus County School or the DAV at
North Independence Highway and

others came as strings across
the sky, while the pairs and
solos seem never ending.
The press, local and state
dignitaries, and a film crew
that had tracked the birds from
South America while making a
documentary of this annual
spectacle, had set up camp on
one particularly popular rook-
ery. We hung out in close prox-
imity for a couple of days
observing both birds and peo-
ple. It was here that we met
and talked with every dignitary
who happened to be in the
area, recognizing that this
remote dead-end road isn't a
place where one just drops in.
Lending a helping hand to
assist Sarah Palin, governor of
Alaska, up an embankment
from the marsh, was a highlight
for me while Karyn enjoyed
the birds.
The four nights we spent in
Cordova were beyond enjoy-
able we fell in love with it

loss of
bladder control.
If you or someone you know is one of over 10 million
women in America who suffer from loss of bladder control,
or urinary incontinence, we may have good news for you.
Until now, many thousands of people have relied on
absorbent or sanitary products to avoid situations where
embarrassing leakage may occur. Unfortunately, though,
these products only help control the symptoms rather than
solve the problem.
Today, we can offer a new outpatient treatment that may
provide an important new solution to certain types of
female urinary incontinence. Talk with us to find out if this
remarkable new treatment is right for you.. It could be the
most important call you'll ever make to restore an active,
healthy lifestyle.

The Crystal River Pirates swimming
and diving teams proved once again
they have the speed and the depth on
Saturday, winning the Citrus County
Championship at Bicentennial Park in
Crystal River.
"They get all the credit," Crystal:
River's first-year coach Cliff Dyer said
of his team.
The Crystal River boys narrowly
defeated Lecanto for first place with a
score of 348. The Panthers finished, six
points behind with 262 followed by
Citrus with 240.
SLecanto dominated most of the boys
events, winning nine of the 12 events,
but Crystal River's depth made the dif-
ference.
The Panthers' Joe and Lou Tamposi
controlled most of the meet winning two
individual first place finishes. Joe won
the 200-yard freestyle and the 100-yard
butterfly while brother Lou won the
100-yard freestyle and the grueling 500-
yard freestyle. Lou won the 500, beating
out Crystal River's Matt Walker by just
over one minute.
Other individual winners from
Lecanto included Matt Bouthillier in
the 200-yard individual medley, Garrett
LeMon in one-meter diving, Citrus'
Brandon Larkin picked up a big first
place in the 50-yard freestyle, defeating
the Pirates' Jacob Hirsch by a mere .07
seconds and Lecanto's LeMon by .74
seconds.
Larkin also won the 100-yard back-
stroke while teammate Addison Rod-
riguez won the 100-yard breaststroke.
Crystal River's lone first place in the
boys meet came in the 200-yard
Lecanto's Chelsey Toomey posted a win in the girl's 100-yard butterfly competition.
freestyle relay The team of seniors con-
sisted of Zac Preston, Glenn
Oberlander, Jeff Arnold and Hirsch.
Lecanto picked up two first place fin-
ishes in the relay events including the
200-yard medley and the 400-yard
freestyle relay. Both teams consisted of
Joe and Lou Tamposi, Bouthillier and
LeMon. The Panthers just squeaked by
Citrus' team of Larkin, Rodriguez, Kyle
Thomas and Kyle Brown in the 200-yard
medley.
While the Crystal River boys team
won with depth, the Pirates' girls' team
won with speed.
: The Crystal River girls ran away with
the meet scoring 333 points followed by
Lecanto with 296 and Citrus with 276.
Individual winners included Masumi
Palhof with a two-second win over
teammate J.D. Needham in the 200-yard
individual medley; Kelly Kuczen with a
three-second win in the 200-yard
freestyle and Yuri Palhof in both the 50-
yard freestyle and the 100-yard
freestyle. Both of Yuri's wins came in
tight races; a .78 second win over
Lecanto's Cali Brockett in the 50-
freestyle and a .17 second win over
Lecanto's Kathleen Lyons in the 100-
freestyle. Sarah Wygle also picked up
an individual win with a score of 214.45
in the one-meter dive.
'.We had to go through a lot this sea-:
son," Dyer said. "Some of them had
their best times today."
Lecanto had individual victories in
the 100-yard butterfly by Chelsey
Toomey, and by Lyons in the 100-yard
breaststroke. Citrus' Erin Cregan won
the 100-yard backstroke by about one-
second over Toomey and the 500-yard
freestyle over Lecanto's Kim Swartz by
just over 14 seconds.
The Pirates also won the 200-yard
freestyle relay and the 400-yard
freestyle relay. Both teams consisted of
Michele Applegarth, Katelyn Bartley,
Kelly Kuczen and Yuri Palhof.
Lecanto's team of Toomey, Lyons,
Cassie Durham and Brockett won the
200-yard medley.
After the Pirates victory, both teams
jumped in the pool with Dyer and
Crystal River principal Patrick Simon
and began their victory celebration.
"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me,"
they all chanted before thanking Citrus
and Lecanto for the meet
"It was a tight meet," Dyer said.

If the Crystal River volley-
ball team got nothing else
from hosting Saturday's six-
team River Classic tourna-
ment, the Pirates learned how
to win a close game.
With Crystal River and
Citrus comprising 1/3 of the
field, the Pirates and Hurri-
canes met in each team's third
match for the right to play in
the semifinals and the show-
down didn't lack for excite-
ment.
The Pirates won 25-23, 27-25
over Citrus in the
best-of-three for-
mat before
advancing to the
final four against
Zephyrhills., The to pla
win was Crystal reall
River's first in really
three tries this teams
year against the
Hurricanes. would'
"We're such a
rollercoaster normally
ride emotional-
ly," said Pirates Alice
coach Meryl cit
Weber, whose
team is now 7-12
overall. '"Again, it's the not
playing not to lose. It's playing
to win."
Citrus went 1-1 in pool play
leading into the playoff format
while Crystal River dropped
its first two games before
downing the Hurricanes and
playing a wild match against
Zephyrihills.
Zephyrhills defeated DMne-
din in the championship
match after knocking off
Crystal River in three games
in the semifinals.
The match between Crystal
River and Citrus waswas one in
which neither had a definitive
advantage, but Hurricanes
coach Alice Christian didn't
seem disappointed in the out-
come.
"Since it was a tournament,
we decided to try some new
things," said Christian, whose
team is now 12-6 overall. "We
got to play some really good
teams that we wouldn't get to
normally"
Once in the semifinals,
Crystal River continued its up-
and-down season by dropping
the first game 25-14 to
Zephryrhills in a game that
was never close. The Bulldogs
led 14-4 early on and never
appeared threatened during
the victory.
For the Pirates, however,
dropping the first game to

just one more positive play to
end the match. Crystal River
had other plans, started by,
Alyssa Daniel's kill to pull
within 24-21. Devon Deem
stepped up to the service line
immediately afterward and
knocked three straight points,
including an ace to tie the con-
test at 24-all and give the
Pirates new life.

of senior hitter Alexus Harrell
over the course of the tourna-
ment for giving the Pirates a
boost
"She has stepped up and
come into her own," Weber
said. "She's grown as a person
as well."
The high level of intensity
must have been difficult to
keep up, though, because the
Bulldogs looked like a team
who hadn't dropped a game

for second place.

would give her fits.
"I needed 36 putts today
That should explain everything
right there," said Knox, her sig-
nature sheepish smile beaming
across her face. "I struggled
with my putting all day today
but that's golf. One day you win,
the next day it's the course's
turn. Today the course was bet-
ter than I was:
"I knew that I wanted to play
it safe today which would have
forced somebody else to go real
low to win. But it's hard to do
that and not attack everything,"
Knox admitted. "I was real
nervous on the front 9. One day
you get the glory the next.. well
(Saturday) I hate a piece of
humble pie.
Knox explained how her
father pushes her to always be
the best she can be and in a
telephone call ,before her
round he implored her to try
and increase the lead.
"My Dad has always pushed
me to go beyond what I think I
can do," Knox said. I'm still
looking for that first win
against him. I've been close a
few times but he always seems
to get me in the end. This past
weekend I was ahead thru six
holes and he came back to
shoot a 38 and I finished with a
40. But I'll get him... soon."
And what does a youngster
who just won a two-day tourna-
ment by 12 strokes do for an
encore. Following a quick
lunch and an awards ceremony
she loads her bag on the back
of her cart and heads back out
on the course for another 18
holes, against two of her friends
Ashton Connors and Harlon
Tyler, two members of the
Citrus boys golf team.
One can only wonder how
much she beat them by?
In addition to Knox who was
lowest gross finisher with a
two-day total of 153 and
Hooker who was runner up in
the inaugural event with a 165,
Donna Martin was the first
place net finisher, which fig-
ures in your handicap, with a
140 while Ruth Troyer was the
second place net finisher with
a 142.
In the tournament's second
flight Corkey Lecorchick was
the top gross finisher, shooting
a two-day total of 183 and
Shirley Young was the second
place gross finisher with a 187.
Carol Biedscheid shot a 144 to
take top honors as the second
flight's lowest net finisher
while Lucia Sinkowicz's 156
was good enough for the net's
second place spot
The third flight was won by
top gross finisher Nancy
Purcell who shot a 193 and was
followed by Janice Botzenhart
with a 198 while Marci Butts
earned top net honors with 9
score of 145 and Linda Mitchell
finished second with a score of

The fourth flight was scored

KRIAN LarPT I EK/nronicie
During the recent Save Our Waters Week in Citrus County, many residents volunteered for the annual Adopt-A-Shore event, part of the Ocean Conservancy's
International Coastal Cleanup that started in 1986. Volunteers, shown here at Fort Island Beach, clean up trash to prevent it from fouling groundwater.
BY DON Cox
For the Chronicle
A need for bold leadership
At the recent hearings for protecting
Citrus County springs, a parade of lawyers
and building lobbyists attacked the rules
for limiting their right to squeeze every
possible piece of land adjacent to springs
and water bodies. They also vigorously
oppose rule improvements that are neces-
sary to protect groundwater and surface
waters. This is one front of a war on our
groundwater supplies and springs.
On the second war front, namely the
water war that Florida is facing, decisions
about drinking water quality, distillation,
water prices and distribution are rapidly
approaching. Citrus County taxpayers will
be asked to underwrite expensive water
treatment schemes while nature's own
groundwater storage capabilities will. be
slowly consumed. Water use efficiency poli-
cies that could help meet Florida's water
needs are often ignored in favor of propos-
als that are more expensive and have the
potential to be dangerous to our health.
County water policy issues
The situation: Florida law and Citrus
County ordinances are to provide us with a
legal roadmap for preventing degradation of
our drinking waters. The heart and soul of
these laws are providing us with clean and
safe drinking water, as well as the control of
water withdrawals via the consumptive
water use permits by Southwest Florida
Water Management District (SWFWMD).
The current demand of water with-
drawals, natural growth patterns in the
county and the current drought situation
have highlighted challenges in maintaining
our lake and river levels that in turn
cleanse water bodies of pollutants and
maintain our wildlife during a period of
Citrus County taxpayers will
be asked to underwrite
expensive water treatment
schemes while nature's own
groundwater storage
capabilities will be consumed.
drought Reversal flows through a seep-
turned-sink in Lake Henderson have
shown that the lake water is being drawn
into the surficial aquifer as it happened at
Paynes Prairie in 1842.
SWFWMD and several boards are
responsible for long-term water supply
planning to meet the needs of Citrus
County's current and future generations, as
well as maintaining the flow levels of our
rivers, lakes and recharge areas. In coordi-
nation with these boards and SWFWMD,
the county's comprehensive development
plan and the Planning and Development
Review Board need to be our first line of
defense to ensure that our drinking water
supplies are protected, groundwater and
water levels are maintained and watershed
development is controlled.
The resolution: As stated in part 1, the
first and arguably most important step
toward cleaning up our water bodies,
springs and groundwater is to make sure
that we have compiled an accurate and
complete list of all water bodies, seeps,
sinkholes, rivers, streams and springs in
Citrus County. In addition, hazardous waste,
storage tanks and wastewater facilities
need to be inventoried and added to the list

Indecision,
procrastination
and short-term fixes
BY DON Cox
For the Chronicle
Past water wars were the result of years of overpump-
ing groundwater supplies in Pasco County and distribut-
ing the bounty to Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. In
2001, the Cato Institute report stated: "The policy politics
of water management in Florida over the last several
years has been contentious and driven by indecision,
procrastination and short-term fixes." The last battle-
front in the water wars will be about the reuse, growth
management and protection of our groundwater
resources.
Reuse of wastewater
The situation: Australian Sen. Andrew Bartlett once
said: "The bad news is that the only water left to drink
will be recycled sewage. The good news is that there
won't be enough to go around." Today, the good news is
that there is plenty of treated wastewater to recharge our
groundwater supplies; the bad news is that we are pump-
ing out water faster than we can put it back in. As the
demand of domestic, industrial, mining, agricultural,
recreational and irrigation water use increases and
reuse does not keep pace, the result of so many con-
sumptive uses puts a strain on our groundwater
resources and the recharge areas.
Citrus County homes and businesses can generate
about 6.8 million gallons of wastewater every day (MGD)
from 113 domestic and industrial wastewater treatment
facilities. In 2005, Citrus County ranked 35th in the state
for reuse and 26.57 GPD/person is reused in the county.
Eight treatment plants have the capacity for 5.33 MGD
with a reuse flow of 3.43 MGD and wastewater is treated

Chronicle
won't endorse
presidential
candidate
As we gear up for the
Florida presidential
primary in January and
the eventual election of a new
president next November, it's
time to break with a tradition.
The Chronicle will not be
making an endorsement in the
2008 presidential election.
Through the decades, it has
been a tradition of this news-
paper to offer endorsements in
all political races. We will con-
tinue to endorse candidates in
the state and local contests,
but in 2008 we won't be offer-
ing our support to a presiden-
tial candidate.
I've been with the newspa-
per since Jimmy Carter
bounced Gerald Ford from his
appointed presidency and
we've debated every race
since then. Long before I
joined the paper in 1978, the
previous publishers and edi-
tors made their opinions
known on presidential politics.
But national politics have
changed during the last
decade and not for the better.
In my view, the partisan bick-
ering that divides this nation
every four years is destructive
and depressing.
Instead of creating a dia-
logue about our most serious

We would urge SWFWMD to

Flowers purchased the property
two years ago for $10.5 million
and recently won permission
from the city of Crystal River to
construct 69 single-family homes
and 240 multi-family units.
Now he wants to revive an
expired SWFWMD permit
secured by the previous owner
of the property so he can start
pumping water from Lake
Lynda for commercial reasons.
From an environmental
standpoint, the idea stinks.
From a conservation stand-
point, the proposal is even
worse.
If SWFWMD grants the permit

Battling Bush CS
Bush is now going to
oppose children's health

that man? These children
need health care. We all
need health care. Now he's
going to veto it again? I
don't know who is in cA.L

is giving him all this power O563
and I'd like to know who.
They're all afraid to fight
him. Well, I say, bring it on. I'll take
care of him. I'm not afraid of him.
I'll take him on. He's a disgrace.
Rules ignored
I have to laugh at the article in
Wednesday's paper about water
restrictions, because all you have to
do is drive through Inverness any
day of the week and see sprinklers
going at the hottest hours of the
day. The list of days for certain
house numbers and the paragraph
stating the hours between 6 p.m.
and 8 a.m. for watering are just
wasting extra newspaper space,
because many people only ignore it.
This has gone on all summer long
and nothing's ever been done about
it. Never any warnings to people or
fines. What a joke.
Stiffed seniors
Well, the haves, as opposed to the
have-nots, have spoken in Citrus
County about tips. Ask your doctor,
ask your teachers and, you know,
some of you might even have some

developer siphon off the water
so he can further profit from our

The city of Crystal River and
the Citrus County Commission

Sheriff's budget
Once again the Chronicle

people in the county, like
the Mosquito Control
Board and how they spend
their money. But at least with that
pilot, we get something for our
money. He kills mosquitoes. What's
the sheriff's office provide for us?
Patrol at the raft race? Still waiting
for the Chronicle to put his budgets
from 2001 to 2007 that the sheriff
is spending. Let's be a little more
fair; be a little honest. Let's pick on
the sheriff's budget for once.
Near poverty level
This is in response to a Sound Off
titled "Health care veto," where
somebody is claiming you can earn
up to $84,000 and be on the free
insurance for your children. You'd
best go back and check your facts.
It's not $84,000; it's $43,000. It's
just above the poverty level.
Furthermore, there are areas in the
country where $84,000 with a few
children is not a comfortable wage.
Taxed into tent
In last Sunday's Sound Off there
were many tirades against the
homeless. Let me just say that I
hold down two full-time jobs, I don't
do drugs, I don't smoke, I drink in
moderation and I happen to live in a
tent because (of high) property
taxes and homeowners insurance.
Thank you for your generalization
and for your Christian charity.

Override the veto
It comes as no secret that President
Bush is staunchly opposed to the
Children's Health Insurance
Program (CHIP) Reauthorization Act,
which he vetoed Oct 4. This act, also
referred to as KidCare in Florida,
which passed both the House and the
Senate in late September, garnered
support from both sides of the aisle -
265 members of the House voted for
it, including 44 Republicans.
The challenges we face with health
care are incredibly complex, but the
CHIP Reauthorization Act wasn't. It
was a bill that was straightforward,
and perhaps that is what attracted
such significant support from both
Democrats and Republicans. The bill
provided health insurance for chil-
dren whose families earn too much to
qualify for Medicaid, but cannot
afford private health insurance. This
measure has been in place for 10
years, and has enabled 6.6 million
children to go to the doctor, and
almost everyone agrees that
American children who need medical
care should get it.
This vetoed measure would have
increased funding for child health
care insurance from $5 billion per
year program to $7 billion during the
next five years and would have pro-
vided an additional 3.4 million chil-
dren access to a family doctor.
The president has taken the posi-
tion that the act is too expensive. He'
took this position after he asked for
$190 billion to fund the war in Iraq
this year alone. It is hard to believe
that covering these children poses an
unacceptable risk to our financial sol-
vency and appears shortsighted for
the future of our kids and our grand-
kids.
Let's make Congress put the parti-
san rhetoric to rest, put the kids first,
and overturn the presidential veto of
this vital and important program to
protect the health of our most vulner-
able children. The vote to override is

F or the past several
months, "Rock-a-
BillyUS" has per-
formed at several local venues.
Cheryl and I enjoy such stuff,
so, a few weeks ago, when the
group did a show at the Curtis
Peterson Auditorium in
.Lecanto, we went.
We enjoyed the show very
much, but the anonymity cho-
sen by the group seemed a lit-
tle bit odd. There was no print-
ed program per se, but within
their brochure an explanation
was given: All of the perform-
ers are either family members
or close friends; they do not get
paid, the venture operates as a
not-for-profit corpo-
ration and uses all of
the revenues gener-
ated by ticket sales to
support the produc-
tion; and, they -
remain individually
anonymous to avoid
any member being
perceived as the star.
Sitting in Curtis Fred E
Peterson Auditorium A SLI
looking up at the L1
stage brought back
memories of my only
adult attempt at show business.
Some 15 years ago, the love of
my life and I allowed ourselves
to be talked into being mem-

bers of the cast for a
community theater
production of "Guys
and Dolls."
.. Unlike the "Rock-
a-Billy" folks, we
weren't anonymous.
.' We weren't stars, but
our names appeared
in a fancy program
rannen Cheryl as a "tour
DE OF guide" and I as one
FpE of the "guys." I even
had a solo a single
line in the horse
song, otherwise known as the
"Fugue for Tinhorns."
I remember it well: "I've got
the horse right here, his name
is Paul Revere, and there's a
guy who says that if the weath-
er's clear, can do, can do, the
guy says the horse can do.... "
Unfortunately, while I
remember it well now, when it
really counted, stage fright
struck and I couldn't remem-
ber my lines. My vocal lament
was: "I am a horse's rear, I am
a horse's rear, I forgot the
words and I'm a horse's rear,
can't do, can't do...."
I had a reason to seek
anonymity!
Back to the Rock-a-Billies:
The night we saw the show, the
lead singer did Elvis songs
while the ladies poured them-
selves into renditions of songs
by female groups from the '50s
and '60s. The talent and profes-
sionalism on display
impressed us.
The following morning over
breakfast, while discussing the
show and how much we had
enjoyed it, my sweetheart and I
began to chew on the anonymi-
ty thing. We concluded per-
formers' egos usually take
precedent over modesty and
mused that perhaps there was
more to it.
I offered the theories that the
Elvis impersonator was work-
ing undercover for the FBI or
CIA, or maybe he was in a wit-
ness protection program.
Cheryl snickered and
exclaimed, "Maybe he really is
Elvis! What better disguise for
an incognito Elvis than to pre-
tend he's Elvis!"
On the lam to avoid being hit
by the Sopranos?
Trying to convince folks he
has left the building while he's
still in it?
Doesn't matter he didn't
muff his lines and it was a good
show!

Exit strategy
If nothing else, Dr William
Dixon can be counted on to
give the doctrinaire, neocon
slant on an issue.
Last Sunday, he urged eternal
persistence in Iraq and cited
the heroism of both sides in the
War Between the States as the
desired behavior for the current
insane military adventure. He
willfully ignored the obvious.
My ancestors and their fel-
lows persisted in fighting the
Yankee invasion so that their
country would be independ-
ent. There was no issue of
whether or not to quit and go
home. We were home, and the
Yankees were coming after us
to make sure our homes
stayed in the USA

to varying degrees (high level to
basic disinfection). If we are to
truly "reclaim" wastewater for
uses that involve public expo-
sure, the "reclaimed" waste-
water must first be treated at a
higher level, to remove pollu-
tants that endanger health.
The resolution: In the rush to
make "reuse" of wastewater a
priority, the county must avoid
quick fixes that give only the
minimal consideration to
human health. Our existing
reuse laws should be reformed
to ensure people are not
exposed to inadequate treated
wastewater, or the groundwa-
ter contamination is minimal.
All basic disinfection treat-
ment should be upgraded to
high level in areas where the
aquifer is near the surface or in
a karst environment. If this not

can be attributed to expensive
water withdrawals and lack of
rainfall along the top of the
Brooksville ridge and within
the watershed that lowers the
head pressures, which in turn
allows for reverse seep flows.
Both the county and
SWFWMD need to implement
a drought withdrawal plan as
well as watering restrictions,
and monitor the flow of seeps
and springs.
The next step then is to
establish and implement
water withdrawal budgets and
protection measures for the
Coastal and Withlacoochee
River basins in a timely man-
ner. Once the steps have been
accomplished, the last step is
an investigation.

We ribbons are purchased
in bundles at a whole-
0579 sale cost and sold by
0 7 local vendors who are
selling them for a prof-
it for their pocket. The
profit is going to the vendors,
and let me assure you that it is
only pennies. Quit squabbling
about a dollar. If you want the
money to go to our troops, find
an appropriate charity, track
your dollar that you want to
send, and be done with it. Stop
your whining and complaining.
The support by just displaying it
on your vehicle should be
enough satisfaction to you that
you're doing your part.

ment system is required to pro-
tect human health, as well as
wildlife habitats.
Growth management
The situation: There are
direct links existing between
impacts to our groundwater
and local land use decisions.
Land development approvals
are typically associated with
impacts that are caused by
activities necessary to accom-
modate roads, utilities, schools,
parks and other facilities, such
as drainage, stormwater, fill
and consumptive use permits.
Locating developments in
watersheds and land areas best
able to accommodate these
impacts makes it much easier
to acquire the necessary permit
while protecting our groundwa-
ter; whereas, poor land-use
decisions place development in
areas where permitting pro-
grams are challenged to protect
groundwater, surface waters
to establish and implement
water reuse program and con-
servation program coordina-
tion with SWFWMD.
Safe drinking water
The situation: Citrus County
needs clean and safe drinking
water every hour of the day.
Human health must be the
first priority for county drink-
ing water policymakers along
with the Department of Health
(DOH), Florida Department of
Environmental Protection
(FDEP) and SWFWMD.
Protecting the quality of the
county's groundwaters for
drinking water is of utmost
importance to all residents of
Citrus County, since we get our
drinking water from public or
domestic underground
sources.
Rainwater recharge is the
main form of groundwater

because he or she was carrying
their lawnmower in the car to
get gas for it and didn't want
to go any faster because the
lawnmower might blow up: You
should note that going faster
will not cause it to blow up. In
any case, why are you taking
the lawnmower to the gas sta-
tion? Buy a gas can, for good-
ness sakes.
Kind and helpful
People say there are no kind
people out there, but (there)
are. I met a lady about five
years ago during hurricane sea-
son and all of a sudden she
pulled into the drive and said,
"Do you all need help?" From
that day on, we have been very
close friends and she's gone
out of her way to help me. I
just want to say thank you
from the bottom of my heart

Chronicle. You know what? I

Protecting
groundwater
The situation: Water-us
ciency policies that couli
recharge in all our water-
sheds. Wastewater facilities
are permitted to pond or aer-
ate wastewater to the ground-
water after primary treat-
ment. Studies conducted in
Citrus County by Upchurch
have identified that the levels
of nitrate in the groundwaters
were found to be high adja-
cent to aeration areas. Can
you imagine having waste-
water aerated into the ground-
water upstream of a drinking
water well?
In addition, polluted water
from urban run-off, treated
sewage and agricultural run-
off contains hundreds of
chemicals, as well as germs,
pharmaceuticals and other
contaminants. The cost of
restoring any contaminated
water in the aquifer will be
enormous and take time. The
question is how much time do
cj- ow
sources meet our water needs are often
pesti- ignored in favor of cheap
water water. Threats to our ground-
in/wet- water include careless use of
fertilizer and pesticides for
y poli- landscaping and golf courses.
e legal Other contamination comes
-tween from runoff, leaking septic
at the tanks, underground storage
s with tanks and sinkholes; overde-
ies for velopment in high aquifer,
velop- recharge areas; and over-
these pumpage of consumptive use
to the limits. In addition, home irriga-
,ct the tion wells in public water serv-
ito the ice areas add to the burden of
iforce- overuse. These problems can
to our be divided into those affecting
ilicies, groundwater quality and those
* ques- affecting groundwater quantity.
round- The resolution: Groundwater
growth quality We need to establish
word an "enforceable pollution
budget," as well as Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
of pollutants for all water bod-
ies in our county. Once a budget
se effi- and loads are established,
d help watershed contamination lim-
we have? And is the time for
cheap water over?
The resolution: Growth
development, planning, con-
servation, reuse and efficien-
cy measures should be used
and enforcement of the water
protection rules and regula-
tions must be enforced by the
county and other regulatory
agencies. The Water and
Wastewater Authority should
be given the authority to
enforce the existing regula-
tions and the county water and
wastewater facilities should
be under the purview of the
authority.
Water conservation is our
primary recourse that every-
one in the county can partici-
pate in by cutting back on
water usage and have the
financial benefits immediate-
ly. Percolation or aeration of
wastewater into the water
its can be set to make our
groundwater safer for extend-
ed consumptive use. In turn,
these limits will guide the plan-
ning groups in the issuance of
building permits in areas
where the watershed is
deemed to be at a critical level.
Groundwater quantity As
before, preserving undevel-
oped landscapes such as sand
hills on the Brooksville Ridge
and Withlacoochee Forest,
buffers around sinkholes
throughout the county, restric-
tions on overpumpage and the
control of land use adjacent to
the Tsala Apopka Chain of
Lakes and Withlacoochee
River, ensure safe and reliable
groundwater recharge. By pro-
tecting the natural reservoirs
that store and recharge our
county's surface and ground-
water, there could be a change
in the current capacity of water
supplies. We certainly do not
need the exporting of water via
water bottling of our springs
underground in areas where
the aquifer is close to the sur-
face or in a karst environment
needs to be eliminated.
Opportunities for safe reuse of
sewage wastewater should be
exhausted to eliminate the
need for potentially danger-
ous polluted fluids leaching
into our aquifers.
Desalination works in other
parts of the world. For more
than eight years, I drank and
washed in desalinated water
every day of the week. Our
water came through an 800-
mile pipeline and served a
population of 3.5 million peo-
ple. Yes, it is possible and cost
effective, but the desalination
plants were built for that pur-
pose, not converted, and locat-
ed next to a nuclear plant. The
desalination plant cooling
canals were turned into the
best fish farms in the region.
and groundwaters.
The question is how? First,
we must establish and enforce
county policies and existing
regulations of water that meet
optimal recharge conditions
for the groundwater that sus-
tain us. Second, growth man-
agement through use of pod
development in sensitive
recharge areas is one of the
many actions that the county
can take today to preserve our
natural resources for the
future. Third, we must closely
look at the impact of bottled
water and learn from other
counties challenged with the
bottle water industry.
Lastly, Citrus County policy-
makers need to close the gap
that exists today between all
regulatory programs and local
land-use planning efforts with
enforceable ordinances. The
good news is there are ways to
protect our groundwater
resources. The bad news is,
will we do it?
Citrus County policymak-
ers' decisions regarding
drinking water and human
health must be based on peer-
reviewed, scientific consen-
sus and studies conducted in
the county. As a society, we
should never sacrifice public
health. When it comes to
drinking water, human health
must be the No. 1 priority. Are
we ready to pay the price is
the question everyone must
ask now. If not, we will cer-
tainly pay double the price
later.

All Americans have access to medical treatment
Reading the newspaper
and viewing network
television, you could
easily believe that not having
health insurance is a death
sentence. And the children!
What's to become of them, if
our politicians don't quickly
expand coverage under the
State Children's Health
Insurance Program (SCHIP)?
Like as not, they'll all be dead
before year's end! What non-
sense! To accept this spin
requires "the suspension of all
disbelief."
Take the widely quoted
Census Report of 47 million
Americans lacking health
insurance. The spin is that they
could not afford to buy it. But
that is not so, and neither is the
number correct. Looking
beyond the headline numbers,
one notes that 10 million of the
47 million are not
American citizens
and that the number
matches up fairly
well with estimates
of illegal aliens in the
U.S. Another 10 mil-
lion uninsured are
from families making
more than $75,000
per year. Dr. Will
These people OTI
chose not to buy VOl
insurance in favor of
spending on some-
thing else. Included in the 47
million are about one million
children, who are entitled to
coverage through Medicaid or
the SCHIP program who just
didn't sign up.
What of the remaining mil-
lions uninsured, likely "work-
ing poor," who earn more than
the limits for Medicaid cover-
I

at risk? Not for

emergencies. By

tals must treat any-

life-threatening
am Dixon condition regard-
hER less of his ability to
CES pay Nor have I seen
or heard of any sur-
geon turning away
someone with cancer because
she had no insurance. (But, I
have read of women who chose
not to have a breast lump
examined out of concern for
cost and ignorance of what
help was available.) It may not
be ideal, but all Americans
have access to medical treat-
ment. Nobody is dying solely
for lack of health insurance.
What about Medicare for all
citizens; wouldn't that solve the
problems? As a longtime
"insider," I can assure you that
Medicare is on its way out. My
estimate is that 20 percent to 30
percent of Medicare outlays go
to unnecessary medical servic-
es and devices, waste and out-
right fraud on the part of doc-
tors, hospitals and other ven-
dors. (That would be about
$125 billion.)
Further, Medicare pays too
much for some services and too
little for others. This causes
medical services to be avail-
able in proportion to how much
they are paid rather than how
much they are needed. And
Medicare pays for what a
physician records on the
patient chart rather than the
value of the actual treatment
provided. More writing and
less time at bedside equates to
higher reimbursement! Most
damning: Medicare is a huge
Ponzi scheme which is nearing
bankruptcy.
The Medicare Trustees'
report in April this year indi-
cated that the program was
financially "unstable" and that
the hospital insurance compo-
nent, at current rates, would be
exhausted in 12 years. The law
requires emergency legisla-
tion. The Congress has done
nothing. The program is sup-
ported by a payroll tax of 3 per-
cent, but, like Social Security,
the funds are spent and noth-
ing but IOU's are in the box. To
keep the Medicare program
going 30 years into the future,
massive tax increases or dras-
tic cuts in coverage will have to
be legislated. Neither is prom-
ising for taxpayers!
Responding to this bogus
health care crisis and failing
Medicare, the leading presiden-
tial candidates promise a new
health care entitlement man-
aged by the government! I
can't name a government pro-
gram that is user-friendly, effec-
tive, service-oriented and finan-
cially sound. Why would anyone
trust a new federal program?

Drivers needed
The Dr Ride Volunteer pro-

the summer months, with a
limited number of volunteer
drivers.
Many of the year-round vol-
unteers are on vacation, leav-

to cover Citrus County, in vari-
ous communities. We are in
desperate need of more volun-
teers.
Since May 2007, our summer
drivers are responding to
more than 100 rides per
month, or 300 man hours.
We are proud of our com-
bined accomplishments. We
would like to thank the drivers
for a job well done. Even
though at times it was rough
dealing with the limited
amount of staff to complete
the job. These drivers went
above and beyond for their
neighbors and community
members in need. These driv-
ers take time out of their busy
schedules every day to help
those in need.

There are so many of us who
see that what has happened to
Tom Dick is not only a disgrace,
but does not meet any of the
standards of justice. Could it be
that he was railroaded by the
very people he had trusted and
worked so diligently for in the
past? If Dick had alcohol on his
breath, why did the newly hired
June Fisher allow Dick to drive
a county car when she had the
authority to stop him? Was she
hoping he would drive the car
and be caught by a trooper?
Why wasn't she considering the
fact that he could have hit or
killed someone? This scenario
is not plausible.
She had no right to announce
to the press that Dick was
drinking when she had no
proof, no witness and no tests
were implemented. Fisher had
better be ready and able to
prove all of the allegations she
has stipulated as being facts
when this goes to trial.

Risky drivers
My wife and I just returned
from a trip to Kentucky (about
900 miles).
I had written a letter to the
editor months ago concerning
drivers in Florida who either
don't know that they have direc-
tional lights on their cars or
don't bother to ever use them.
It's a lever on the steering
column. To go left, pull the
lever back Right push it
forward to let people know
you are going to move over, or
turn off the road.
For some reason, I thought
it was a Florida problem. I
was wrong. People in Georgia,
Tennessee and Kentucky are
just as dumb as drivers in
Florida.
We had people in the next
lane swerve in front of us.
They almost sideswiped the
fender I would use the horn
or flick the headlights at them,
but got no reaction.
Either they were people
who can't see too well or don't
realize what they are doing.
Many times when I used the
signal, the person in the lane
I'm going to would speed up to
prevent me from doing so. It's

In truth, the Chronicle's

amount to a hill of beans. By

become viewed as one more

Our newspaper does not rou-

Finding ads
My question to the Chronicle
is: What good are those big
numbers on the side of your
classified ads? What are they
doing for your readers if you
can't find what you're looking
for? Why not have a guide at
the beginning showing what
each number is for so your
readers can go right to the
classifiedsthey're interested
in? That's usually how that's
done on publications.
Driving to shop
In reference to older drivers:
We aren't perfect. We drive the
speed limit and stay in the
right lane. We know what our
turning lights are for. Without
us, are you going to close
some of your big clothing
stores? Look who shops there.
We could shop from some of
the dozens of catalogs we get
in the mail every day. Just want
you to know.

expansion of a wonderful pro-
gram and one of the first that
is both backed by congression-
al parties and are now approv-
And if you think about it,
there is more than enough
information available so voters
can make an informed and
intelligent decision about who
should be president.
So after much internal
debate, we've agreed that offer-
ing that opinion simply closes
down the dialogue that we
want to have about the local
and state issues that are impor-
tant to this community..
Our resources are dedicated
to covering what goes on at the
county courthouse, city hall
and in the state Legislature.
And we will certainly continue
to have opinions about what
space, so when we can't fit all
that we might like to into the
pages of the Chronicle, we can
and will make it available
online.
Down the road, citizen jour-
nalism is likely to play a size-
able role on our online news
offering. There will be a lot of
details to work out, like how to
keep whackos from ruining it
for everyone else, but imagine
the type of Citrus County cov-
erage we can have if a few
thousand citizens lend their
reporting skills when they see
something of widespread
interest?
ing, along with the 0
backing of the S
National United Way
arc and 43 state gov-
ernors, etc. By the
way, this program was
started in 1997 with
overwhelming support
of both parties. And
to think that President CALL
Bush could veto 563
expansion of such a 563
program is beyond
infuriating...
Looking for ethics
Well, Pine Ridge is at it again
... with the board and the ADC
constantly changing and ignor-
ing our deed restrictions and
bylaws. We need the help of
some ethical residents.
Two bad ideas
Being the mayor of Holder, I,
too, like the city manager of
Inverness, am contemplating
opting out of the county-man-
dated impact fees. Now, seri-
ously, I would like to comment
on two potential bad ideas I
think for our county. One df the
first: Remember the state-man-
dated requirement a few years
back ordered that each county
had to have a hazardous dispos-
al site? One concerned citizen
quickly offered us 160 acres for
the project, and we found out
later that we only needed a trail-
er just to collect it. Can you
imagine the material that we
might have to get rid of right
.4
t1? here in the county had'
we got the 160 acres?.
Now the two potential
bad ideas: The pro- '
posed offender project
by a Pinellas County,
firm to establish a
housing unit here for
that bad idea. See
above. Desal plant in-'
0579 Crystal River- anothi
0 er bad idea. Briny ,'
water along our coast'
would negatively impact the .-
shells and fish. In my opinion,.",
once the water transmission
lines are in place, it would be
just a short deal then to get it >
from Lake Rousseau into that
pipeline. I think it's a bad idea.
Again, see above.
Just say no and no
I'm having some difficulty
understanding why we have to ,,
mess around designing an
ordinance to prescribe how ,,
many and where sexual offend-i
ers can live in Citrus County.
Can't we just say none, ever?
Are we crazy or stupid?
What you're worth
In regards to the mosquito
control helicopter pilot: F
Apparently, he knows exactly -"
what he's worth. If the helicop
ter pilot for the sheriff's (office)
doesn't like his salary, he can
always apply for a new job.
Maybe he should want to apply,
for the Mosquito Control
District.

Get sheriff to spray
I hear where Sheriff Dawsy's
new helicopter's not equipped
for medical assistance like fly-
ing somebody to the hospital.
I'm just wondering, with all
that money and costs, if
they've got room for maybe,
"say, 250 gallons of mosquito
spray. I would love to see our
sheriff's helicopter spray for
some of these mosquitoes. We
can't get mosquito control
from Mosquito Control, so
since Dawsy likes to take over
everything in Citrus County, he
should actually pick up spray-
ing for mosquitoes. And I
wouldn't complain a bit about
the money he spends for mos-
quito juice. In fact I'd even con-
tribute money to the mosquito
fund for Sheriff Dawsy to fly
his helicopter over beautiful
downtown Citrus County and
spray for mosquitoes.
Wind on roofs
Well, looks like another rip-
off from the insurance compa-
nies. My roofing contractor
informed me today that if I
didn't get the roof done before
Oct. 1, new wind legislation
would be in effect which will
raise the cost of my roof by as
much as 30 percent. I'm on a
fixed income. How come we
don't hear anything in the
Chronicle about this? He said
it's a state law ... Please, if
there's something the
Chronicle knows about this,
please print it so other readers
would know what is going on
with this new law that's going
into effect Oct. 1. It's really
going to hurt the people
around the coast, especially
lower-income people.
Editor's note: It's in the Florida
Building Code and requires "sec-
ondary water barriers for roofs and
standards relating to secondary
water barriers. The criteria may
include, but need not be limited
to, roof shape, slope and compo-
sition of all elements of the roof
system; and strengthening or cor-
recting roof-decking attachments
and fasteners during reroofing."
Trial run
This is in response SO
to today's article
"Service not used."
This is in rebuttal to
the person who called
in about the valet
service not being used
at the hospital. The
valet service was at
the hospital for about CALL
three months for a 563'
trial run. Their main
job is at the medical
office building. So if they were
to come over here and look at
the amount of vehicles that are
parked and the amount of peo-
ple that are helped at the med-
ical office building, they would
not have that type of com-
ment. The average age of the
volunteers at Citrus Memorial
is 70 years old. I would like to
see them try to help people in
and out of vehicles, with wheel-
chairs that have very limited
mobility.
Needing a say-so
When was the last time you
as a taxpayer had a say-so in
which infrastructure project got
funded next? Did you have a
say-so in the new multimillion-
dollar government building in
Inverness or the beautification
of the downtown area? Did you
get to vote on the turtle statues
or the fountain or boardwalk
around Cooter Pond? Now
Frank DiGiovanni wants to
establish his own impact fees.
He and his council decide what
projects get funded next. What
if his impact fees don't cover
the cost of the added infra-
structure? Well, here is your
.4
answer: He will find some way
not to lower your property
taxes. You, the residents, will
continue to pick up the tab.
You have no choice in what
project is next or how much it
will cost, but believe me, you
will pay for it with
your tax dollars.
Homes for sale
I wonder why there
B are so many homes
up in Citrus Hills, the
older section of
Citrus Hills that are
V for sale. I believe part
of the problem is the
0579 conditions of the
0579U sides of the roads.
Nothing has been
done about cutting the sides of
the roads in all the areas such
as 1, 2 or 3.
Strong tires
Contrary to popular belief,
tires today are very, very strong
and durable. And the little 3- to
4-inch gap in the road is just
what it is a little gap in the
road. If you drove over it with
some speed, you'll find that
you'll go over it much easier
than holding me up behind you
while you drive your truck
across it...Tires are strong.
Don't coddle them. That's why
they cost so much when they
get 70,000 miles. They'll be
able to take it, but I can't take
you stopping while you go over
a little bump anymore.
Finding Sandusky
I'm calling about Sandusky
being north of Detroit.
Sandusky Mich., is north of
Detroit. It's in Sanilac County
at the function of (U.S.) 19 and
Milk and cookies
I would like to know whom to
contact to have a traffic light
installed on North Highland
Park Drive in Forest Lake
North. My new neighbors must
have a milk-and-cookie busi-
ness. Young adults are driving
in and out at all hours of the
night and day interfering with
the normal traffic. They're 18-
to 20-year-olds what else but
milk and cookies?
Night lights
This is in response to the
"Install lights": Didn't you do
your research before you
moved off of Gospel Island
Road? Didn't you know that it
was a very dark, rural area and
that there were no lights at
night? Didn't you know that you
can call the power company
and have one installed? Didn't
you know? Well, now you do.
Mosquito management
It sounds like Mosquito
Control has a management
problem, not an employee
problem. I do see those guys
out working on the roadsides.
Maybe they should have an
investigation.
Pricey insurance
Why did our representatives
not prevent this terrible house
insurance fiasco? (Our insur-
ance company) dropped our
home insurance, and the com-
pany they gave us charges
triple what we paid last year.
We are seniors. Between food,
gas, utilities, etc., we can't
make it. Can't someone stop
this price gouging?
Dunk cake
have lost it and I am trying to
recreate it. So if they could
reprint this, it would be greatly
appreciated. For the lady that
called in and said she had a
ceramic-top stove: You can do
these on a gas barbecue grill
just as well as you can on top
of a gas range.
Editor's note: The Chronicle
cannot reprint the recipe. Either
you may go to your public library
and find the Sept. 6 edition to
copy it, or call customer service
at 563-5655 to order a copy.
Lotto revenue
Does anybody know how
much money the state got from
the Lotto in the year 2006 and
what are the salaries of the
officials who run the Lotto?
Editor's note: According to the
lottery Web site, the lottery con-
tributed $1.22 billion to educa-
tion in fiscal year 2005-06 (July
1, 2005, to June 30, 2006).
Administrative operating expens-
es, which includes salaries and
benefits, rent, utilities and main-
tenance, professional fees,
depreciation and other adminis-
trative expenses was $71.9
million.
Just don't drink
I would like to say that I
agree with the recent findings
that say women with breast
cancer should not drink alco-
hol. I was free of cancer for 3
1/2 years, until last year when
I started to have cocktails
before dinner, and now my can-
cer is back. I would advise all
women with a history of breast
cancer to not drink.
Dog security
insurance companies should
t on be allowed to drop a home-
what they are supposed to do to
protect the home against the
vicious humans who would
break into your home, steal your
property and possibly take your
life in the bargain. I have owned
dogs 60 of my 80 years, and
not one has ever hurt anyone.
Dogs should be judged on their
personalities, not just consid-
ered vicious and a liability that
can cost the insurance compa-
nies money. Is it better perhaps
to lose your life or own a dog for
you and your home's protection?
Don't worry or answer
To the person who called
about not being able to recog-
nize people who call them on
the telephone: I don't know what
they're afraid of, but a lot of
times if I call a wrong number, I
don't necessarily start saying
who or what I am until I know
that I've reached the party I
intended the call. I have a sim-
ple solution nor this person. If
they're so worried that they're
getting a call from somebody
they don't recognize, don't
answer the phone. It's very sim-
ple. That's what I do and it does-
n't take any effort or any time.
And if somebody wants you bad
enough, they'll call you back and
then they'll identify themselves.
So quit worrying about some-
thing that's not going to happen.
Iran watch
Is somebody watching to be
sure that the Iranian president
and his entire entourage and
corrupt people leave with him?
Wouldn't it be just like that
jackal to leave a terrorist here
in exchange for a member of
his party? Food for thought.
Too many people

CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE
Software company receives
Special to the Chronicle
Mobiform Software Inc. in
Crystal River, has been
awarded $18,000 in training

and they responded very
quickly to our questions.

Dingier attends
society convention
Denny Dingier, owner of
Professional Hearing Centers,
attended the International Hearing
Society's 56th Annual Convention
and Exposition Sept. 26-30 in
Reno, Nev.
"The international convention
had a full schedule of technical
seminars that helped me advance
my expertise on current technolo-
gy and better serve the needs of
all hearing impaired consumers.
The education sessions covered
all aspects of hearing loss, from
the latest in digital programmable
technology to the newest fitting
techniques. Insufficient consumer
awareness of state-of-the-art tech-
nology and a general tendency to
deny the presence of a hearing
problem has kept many people
from seeking help, though help is
available for virtually everyone
experiencing a hearing loss. I look
forward to sharing these latest
developments with my patients,"
Dingier said. Dingier has been a

Thanks to one very special
person
A few years ago when the
Citrus County Chamber of
Commerce and the Homosassa
Springs Area Chamber of
Commerce merged, it became a
goal for our newly appointed
Membership Committee
Chairman to see the Chamber
membership grow to 1,000. A
long-time director of the
Homosassa Chamber, John
Barnes took on the task of obtain-
ing a goal that the Chamber had
never been able to quite achieve.
John had the dedication, passion
and eagerness to not only assist
the Chamber in obtaining that
goal, but also in assisting local
businesses to obtain their per-
sonal goals. It was a relationship
that he felt was vital-that
between local business and the
Chamber
In all honesty, this article start-
ed off as just a welcome message
for those new members who
have joined the Chamber over
the summer months. However,
once I began thinking of the out-
standing numbers we have been
able to achieve, I realized that it
may have never happened as
quickly as it did had it not been
for one very special Chamber
Board of Director John Barnes'
impact on Citrus County, the
Chamber and each individual
he encountered cannot be meas-
ured. It has been a year since
John has left us, but his legacy
within the Chamber continues.
Our membership within the
Citrus County Chamber of
Commerce continues to grow. As
of Aug 31 our membership total
was 1,026. The Citrus County
Chamber of Commerce would
like to welcome its new members
from June, July and August of
2007. Always remember, we are
here for you. If you need any assis-
tance, please do not hesitate to
give us a call. Thank you and we
look forward to seeing you at our
monthly membership luncheons,
breakfasts and mixers.

SBA to extend Export
Express for one year
The U.S. Small Business
Administration announced that it will
extend its Export Express pilot pro-
gram through fiscal 2008. The
announcement is in a Public Notice
published in the Federal Register
today.
The Export Express Pilot Program
was established in 1998 to assist
small exporters with their financial
needs, particularly those needing
revolving lines of credit. Export
Express terms and conditions closely
follow those of the SBA Express loan
guaranty, but carry the 75-85 percent
guaranty of the standard 7(a) loan.
Exports are playing an increasingly
important role in the U.S. economy,
with small businesses accounting for
$375 billion in exports in fiscal 2006,
up from $300 billion in 2002. During
the same period, the number of small
business exporters grew from
215,000 to 230,000. Export Express
loans, however, have not kept pace
with this growth rate. The one-year
extension to the program is meant to
give this loan product additional time
to reach maximum potential in serv-
ing the special capital needs of U.S.
small business exporters.
"SBA is refocusing its efforts on
Export Express and developing a
strategic marketing plan to the small
business community and to the
agency's lending partners," said SBA
Administrator Steve Preston. "The
extension of this pilot program
through September 30, 2008, will
allow the agency to determine
whether Export Express should be
retained or whether SBA's other pro-
grams can successfully serve the
needs of small business exporters."
For more information on the
Export Express program or any of
the other SBA international trade
products and services, call Richard
Ginsburg at (202) 205-7429, or e-
mail at richard.ginsburg@sba.gov, or

announced today that Munroe
Regional has been designated as an
officially StomaphyX Training Center.
Munroe Regional Medical Center
becomes one of only two StomaphyX
Training Centers in the United States.
On Thursday, Oct. 4, surgeons
from East Carolina University and
Sao Paulo, Brazil, will travel to
SMunroe Regional Medical Center to
be officially trained by Dr. Todd
Overcash, of the Florida Bariatric
Center, to perform the StomaphyX
procedure. Dr. Overcash is one of the
original four surgeons in the United
States trained to perform this state-of-
the-art bariatric procedure and was
the first in the Eastern United States.
Today, he is recognized as the
nation's leader in StomaphyX proce-
dures performed.
The procedure uses the
StomaphyXT device, which allows
the surgeon to perform the bariatric
procedure without any external or
internal incisions. It is available for
individuals who have had previous
gastric bypass surgery and who are
regaining weight and those who want
an alternative to invasive weight loss
surgery. In most cases, the
StomaphyXT procedure is performed
as outpatient surgery.
Munroe Regional Medical Center,
a Bariatric Center of Excellence, is
located in the heart of North Central
Florida. Munroe Regional is a 421-
bed not-for-profit acute care hospital
whose mission is to continually meet
the changing health needs of the
community through caring, patient-
centered services of the highest qual-
fty.
Munroe is located at 1500 SW 1st
Ave, Ocala.

Coalition gets
chadty status
Child Protection Coalition is proud
to announce that the IRS has deter-
mined CPC as a national nonprofit
"Public Charity" organization exempt
from federal income tax under sec-
tion 501(c)(3) of their code. This clas-
sification qualifies the nonprofit organ-
ization to receive national tax-
deductible bequests, devises, trans-
fers, or gifts under section 2055,
2106, or 2522 of the IRS Code from
any citizen, corporation or public enti-
The Public Charity was founded
by Joseph H. Dawson, owner of
Jewels & Diamonds fine jewelry
store in Homosassa, and is the
author of the now famous Child
Protection Amendment, a.k.a.
"Jessica's Law," a grass root move-
ment. The Child Protection Coalition
has a four-pronged strategy to
reduce and finally end the child pre-
dation epidemic in one generation.
Their mission is segmented into four
major components which include,
Education and Awareness,
Legislation Reform, Technology
Advancement, and Community
Involvement. The unprecedented
success in making Florida the tough-
est state in America against child
sexual offenders is quite amazing
considering the coalition is made up
exclusively of unpaid volunteers

across America. The founder,
Joseph H. Dawson, is proud of the
fact that every person n the organi-
zation has followed his example and
never took a single penny of com-
pensation. The Florida campaign
was totally funded out of Mr. and
Mrs. Dawson's personal savings and
no one was ever solicited for funding
of the mission.
Child Protection Coalition is seek-
ing national sponsors to help defray
expenses and carry out our mission.
The Web sits is www.childprotection-
coalition.org and the phone number
is (352) 621-4653.

We often take for granted that we
understand our gifted children. However,
all children are complex and being gifted
adds unique dimensions to one's inner
experience. This FREE workshop,
presented by Working on Gifted Issues
(WOGI) will address everyday challenges at
school, at home, and in the community
including peer relationships, perfectionism,
family dynamics, and parental
effectiveness. Please join us to learn ways
to respond to your child's individual
perspective, needs and concerns, and ways
to support her/his growth and well-being.
Funded through a grant from the Florida Department of
Education with support fiom the Florida Association for the
Gifted (F.AG)
