As unemployment continues to rise, employers and residents look to 2009 for relief


CHRIS VAN ORMER
cvanormer@chronicleonline.com
Chronicle
T wo thousand, five hundred
and eighteen county resi-
dents who were employed
when they saw 2008 are
seeing the year out without a job.
A year ago, 3,044 Citrus County
residents filed for unemployment.
Now it's 5,562.
In November, the unemployment
rate jumped to 9 percent. As it was
only 5.3 percent in November 2007,
it increased 3.7 percent, which is
significant as the population in-,
creased by only 1.4 percent.
Citrus is well ahead of the unem-
ployment figure for the state of
Florida, which is 7.3 percent, and at
that is 0.6 of a percentage point


Looking well into the future, the two.nuclear
reactors planned for construction in Levy County
in 2016 and 2017 are expected to bring
another 800 full-time jobs to the community,
with another 1,000 to 2,000 indirect jobs.


higher than the national unemploy-
ment rate of 6.7 percent. Florida's
rate is the highest it's been since
June 1993.
Many prognosticators indicate
the unemployment rate for the
United States will worsen during
the first two quarters of 2009. In Cit-
rus County, some of the larger em-
ployers have been asked if the
economy has hit their employment
figures yet, andwhether they fore-
see future layoffs.


At the Citrus County Sheriff's Qf-
fice, Sheriff Jeff Dawsy cut his
budget 3.7 percent for the 2008-09
fiscal year in June without taking
a single deputy off the road.
Gail Tierne'y, spokeswoman for
the CCSO, said the sheriff's office
has 368 full-time employees, of
which 231 are sworn and 137 are
civilian.
"We anticipate no layoffs due to
the economy," Tierney said.
The Citrus County, School Diis-


trict has dropped 47 jobs last year,
but no representatives were avail-
able for comment. In 2007-08, the
school district employed 2,467 peo-
ple. The current figure is 2,420.
In November, the county's
largest manufacturer, Pro-Line
Boats Inc., temporarily laid off
about 100 workers and closed its
plant. General Manager Johnny
Walker hopes to be able to recall
them in January.
In December, CLM Workforce,
an agency that coordinates train-
ing and employment for local busi-
nesses, received a grant of $860,000
from the U.S. department of Labor
to provide employment training
for workers at 16 manufacturers in
Citrus Levy and Marion counties,
andincluded Pro-Line.

Cranes remain grounded


Chronicle


For the fourth consecutive day, the
2008 flock of migrating whooping
cranes is stuck in Chilton County,
Ala.
A combination of winds, dense
fog, 95 percent humidity, 58-degree
temperature, light rain and mist,
created poor weather conditions for
flight.
Members of the Operation Migra-
tion team anticipated Jan. 1 it would
be a few days before they could take


off for their next stop in Lowndes,
County, Ala., due to weather condi-
tions.
So far, the.cranes have flown 813
miles since the Oct. 17 start of their
trip.
Once the cranes reach Jefferson
County, seven of the 14 birds will be
flown to St. Marks National Wildlife
Refuge in Wakulla County. On the
next day, the other seven cranes will
depart for its flyover event in Marion
County before heading on to the final
leg of the migration to Chassahow-


itzka National Wildlife Refuge. The
trip from Jefferson County to Marion
County includes stopovers in Madi-
son and Gilchrest Counties.
Whooping cranes, named for their
loud and penetrating unison calls,
live and breed in wetland areas,
where they feed on crabs, clams,
frogs and aquatic plants. They are
distinctive animals, standing five feet
tall, with white bodies, black wing
tips and red crowns on their heads.
Whooping cranes were on the
verge of extinction in the 1940s. The
Whooping Crane Eastern Partner-
ship (WCEP), an international coali-
tion of public and private groups,


began reintroducing this highly im-
periled species in eastern North
America, part of its historic range, in
2001.
Today, there are only about 525
birds in existence, 375 of them in the
wild. Aside from the 68 birds reintro-
duced by WCEP, the only other mi-
grating population of whooping
cranes nests at the Wood Buffalo Na-
tional Park in the Northwest Territo-
ries of Canada and winters at the
Aransas National Wildlife Refuge on
the Texas Gulf Coast. A non-migrat-
ing flock of approximately 35 birds
lives year-round in the central
Florida Kissimmee region.

About half the staff at
Progress Energy Florida's
Crystal River power plants'
are on contract for specific
projects, which makes its
employment figures flexible.
A total of 2,323 people work
at the power plants, and of
those, 1,114 are full-time em-
ployees with the utility com-
pany. The remaining
employees work through
contractors.
"They have different con-
tracts, depending on their'
trade," said Jessica Lambert,
senior generation communi-
cation specialist.
Zachry Construction, a
San Antonio, Texas, com-
pany, has been installing
new scrubbers at Progress
Energy's coal-fired units.
"We probably had about
900 people working out there
at the peak," said Matt Al-
varado, office manager for,
the Crystal River branch of
Zachry. "We try to hire qual-
ified locals, but sometimes
we have to look around the
state and outside the state
for certain kinds of crafts-
men."
Lambert said Progress En-
ergy expects to maintain its
employment levels in 2009.
"In September, we antici-
pate hiring a lot more con-
tractors when we do a
refueling outage," she said,
Every two years, nuclear
power plants are shut down
to replace fuel and perform
maintenance. When a refu-
eling outage takes place,
plant staff gets help from
other Progress Energy
plants and contract workers.
In addition, the Crystal
River plant will have two
.more projects that will re-
quire hiring more staff. Two


steam generators will be re-
placed in the nuclear plant,
and the utility will continue
its extended power uprate to
add 1,080 megawatts during
the next three years. The up-
rate project started in 2007,
and the additional
megawatts will be enough to
serve about 664,000 homes.
Although the utility has
not laid off employees be-
cause of the economy being
in recession, "We are looking
at efficiencies to make sure
the systems and procedures
are prudent," Lambert said.
Looking well into the fu-
ture, the two nuclear reac-
tors planned for
construction in Levy County
in 2016 and 2017 are ex-
pected to bring another 800
full-time jobs to the commu-
nity, with another 1,000 to
2,000 indirect jobs.
According to its Web site,
the Crystal River plan gen-
erates nearly $28 million in
annual tax revenue for Cit-
rus County.
Citrus Memorial Health
System, showed steady
growth in employment' in
2008.
Since its inception in 1957,
Citrus Memorial has in-
creased staff to keep up with
the needs of the county's
growing and aging popula-
tion.
In 2007, Citrus Memorial
employed 1,357 staff mem-
bers. In 2008, the number
grew to 1,364.
"We strive to serve the
community. in the best way
we can, which includes pro-
viding state-of-the-art tech-
nology along with highly
skilled team members," said
Katie. Myers, hospital
spokeswoman.
The Heart Center was a
new addition to the hospital
in 2004, and now employs
more than 86 team members
who perform such services

as open-heart surgery, coro-
nary artery bypass surgery,
heart valve repair and re-
placement, aortic aneurysm
surgery, peripheral vascular
surgery and pacemaker/de-
fibrillator placement
Citrus Memorial currently
is hiring for various regis-
tered nurse positions.
"We are also anticipating
an addition of 15 to 20 staff
members next fall when Cit-


rus Memorial Health Center
at Sugarmill Woods is com-
pleted," Myers said. "We re-
cently broke ground on this
project, a 21,400-square-foot
facility for residents of
southwestern Citrus County.
The facility is currently
under construction on a five-
acre tract of land just north
of the main entrance of Sug-
armill Woods on U.S.19."
Once complete, the Sug-


armill Woods facility will
provide state-of-the-art diag-
nostic imaging services, in-
cluding X-ray, ultrasound,
digital mammography, bone
density, mobile CT scan and
MRI. Additionally, rehabili-
tation services such as phys-
ical and aquatic therapy will
be available along with a
walk-in clinic, laboratory
draw station, blood bank and
pre-admission testing for pa-
tients undergoing outpatient
surgery at Citrus Memorial.
The current offices of Tim
Peterson, M.D., and Carolyn
Bautista, ARNP, are at the lo-
cation and will be integrated
into the expanded medical
services facility upon com-
pletion.
Early in December, Seven
Rivers Regional Medical
Center placed 26 employees
on an unpaid temporary 60-
day leave of absence be-
cause of dwindling patient
numbers, the Chronicle re-
ported Dec. 8.
As the leave of absence
was not a layoff, the affected
employees, who included
staff in housekeeping, nutri-
tional services, lab imaging
and clinical services, are
keeping their health benefits
during the two-month dura-
tion.
For the future, Dorothy
Pernu, hospital spokes-
woman, said, "We placed
some people on temporary
leave of absence, but we're
anticipating them coming
back"
Seven Rivers also is ex-
panding its medical services,
and expects to hire more
staff in addition to its cur-
rent complement of about
550 people.
"In 2008, we had under-
taken several construction
projects for the enhance-
ment of our services," Pernu
said.

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE

is being renovated to add
two advanced operating
suites, she said. The renova-
tion is expected to be com-
pleted at the end of January.
Another project is called
a comprehensive medical
rehabilitation unit, which
will offer more, inpatient
services.
"This is a good comple-
ment to our orthopedic pro-
cedure and stroke
treatment patients," Pernu
said.
As things stand, such pa-
tients, who would benefit
from rehabilitation ses-
sions, cannot get rehab at
Seven. Rivers. What this
means, Pernu said, is that
these patients may have to
leave the county to seek
treatment, go to a nursing
home, or go to their own
home for in-home care.
But with the rehabilita-
tion unit, patients will go
from surgery or treatment to
rehab.
"This means they will get
additional rehabilitation
time," Pernu said, explain-
ing that medical insurance
can cover four hours of re-
habilitation time instead of
two hours if it is inpatient
care.
"They will get more reha-
bilitation upfront, and that
will help them get health-
ier," Pernu said.
To service the rehabilita-
tion unit, "We will need to
hire specialty people,"
Pernu said.
She expected the unit to
be open for service by late
spring or early summer.
"We're excited to bring
this service to the commu-
nity," Pernu said.
She said it would be a def-
inite benefit for patients
needing treatment, and
would offer some employ-
ment opportunities.

Continued from Page Al

of funding for the State Hous-
ing. Initiatives Partnership
program, called SHIP The
first session of the classes
will cover an introduction to
SHIP, which provides funds
to local governments as an in-
centive to create partner-
ships that produce and
preserve affordable home-
ownership and multifamily
housing. The program was
designed to serve very low,
low- and moderate-income
families.
"SHIP funding is in jeop-
ardy, because the state budget
is in a crisis," Clark said.
When legislators convene
-Monday, they will work on
Florida's $2.3 billion budget
deficit The session will con-


tinue until Jan. 16. Rather than
increase taxes and fees, their
strategy will be to cut spend-
ing, borrow money, and shift
funds to reduce the shortfall
for the remainder of this fiscal
year, which ends June 30.
"We are hoping to receive
support from
the Legisla- For eve
ture for SHIP

Clark said. the local
SHIP fund-
ing, Clark said, is actually good
for the local economy For
every dollar put into the SHIP
program, another $7 is brought
into the local economy.
"Everything generates in-

Clark said.

the county has not received

another Clark said. "If

The SHIP funds, she said,
are used by the county for
eight different strategies, not
just for first-time homebuyers.
SHIP dollars may be used to

quisition of property for
affordable housing, matching
dollars for federal housing

Part of what the county
must do to participate in the
SHIP program is to sponsor
first-time homebuyer classes,
which cover most all aspects
of owning a home, from ap-
plying and qualifying for a
mortgage to homestead ex-
emption and landscaping.
Presenters include presen-
ters from many county de-

Progress Energy Florida is working to ensure our state continues to have
the reliable power it needs. This includes possible new transmission
lines in your, area.

To determine the best route for these transmission lines, we are working
with the Community Partnership for Energy Planning, a cross-section of
community leaders and representatives from Citrus, Hernando and Levy
counties. The potential route will largely follow an existing transmission
line in Citrus and Hernando counties. In Levy and northern Citrus counties,
new rights of way will be needed. In limited areas of Hernando County,
the company may need to widen its existing rights of way. Specific
information will be available at the meetings.

To hear more about the proposed transmissionrr line in your area and

Finding holiday magic


JENNY PHILLIPS
Special to the Chronicle


Like many people retiring in Florida, New-
ton and I found ourselves alone to celebrate
the holidays. 'We needed a family, so we de-
cided to join the celebrations at Walt Disney
World, which has become our family holiday
tradition. Every year in December, we drive
to Orlando to enjoy Christmas in a magical
way for a couple of weeks. This year was spe-
cial because we were joined by two friends.
We visited all the Disney parks with an avid
Mouseketeer and a returning fan.,
Our avid Mouseketeer friend joined us
during the first week as we attended Mickey's'
Very Merry Christmas Party. Then, we took,
the:Yuletide Fantasy Tour to get a behiid-the-
40 scenes look at how holiday magic is created


at Disney World. We also enjoyed the candle-
light procession and stood as they played the
"Hallelujah" chorus. As we are every year, we
were in awe of the decorations and colors.
Walking along the way, we were again cap-
tured by the awesome aromas of turkey legs,
roasting cinnamon almonds and funnel cakes
that beckoned to us.
The second week we were there, the other
friend arrived, and this time, we viewed the
parades, watched the Osborne Family Spec-
tacle of Dancing Lights and the fireworks. As
it had before, Cinderella's Castle dazzled us,
covered with a lace of shimmering lights, and
we marveled again at the beauty of it all.
'dur visit ttoWAItDisiNygWorldWas magical.
We don't need children to visitMickey and
Minnie. We are the kids. And we left with
hearts filled with joy and laughter.

Veterans help at Christmas


Special to the Chronicle
Part of the creed of the Veterans of Foreign Wars is to honor the departed by helping the living and the widows and orphans of our fallen heroes, said Ray Ricca, community and
youth activities chairman of the Edward W. Penno VFW Post 4864 in Citrus Springs. Andrea Tatlock, wife of Post Cmdr. Steve Tatlock contacted the Citrus Springs Elementary
School and the Annie Johnson Center and asked for a list of children who would more than likely go without Christmas this year. Between the school and the center, a list of 60
aged 6 to 17 was given to Tatlock, who then prepared an Angel Tree at the Post Building. Within a week's time the VFW members had picked their angel off the tree and re-
placed it with what the child asked for. The VFW tries to do its part to help in the community, and with the help of the ladies auxiliary, it spends and donates thousands of dol-
lars during the year for children, schools, needy and, of course, veterans. Picking up gifts for the Citrus Springs Elementary School are guidance counselor Georgeann Rice, school
employees Alvin Head and David Houston. VFW Post 4864 Sr. Vice Cmdr. Herb Snyder and project chairwoman Andrea Tatlock helped load the van at the post building at the
main entrance of Citrus Springs off U.S. 41.

Change Is Coming


to spearhead food drive


Special to the Chronicle


From Jan. 8 to 18, Change Is Coming volun-
teers will host a countywide food drive. The
group is also inviting the public to join them
at the capping off meeting at 3 p.m. Jan. 18 at
the Beverly Hills' Community Building at 1
Civic Circle, Beverly Hills.
- With middle-class families suffering in
today's troubled economy and with Citrus
County's continued efforts to recover from
the effects of high unemployment, Change Is
Coming members are reaching out to neigh-
bors to help those most in need. The group
has joined with three local food banks The
Family Resources Center at 2435 N. Florida
Ave. in Hernando; Daystar Life Center at
6751 W Gulf to Lake Highway in Crystal River
and Citrus United Basket at 103 N Mill St in
Inverness.
Change Is Coming members request that
other grassroots organizations and private
parties deliver donations of canned foods and
warm clothes, during the food drive, to one of
the mentioned food banks of their choice.
They hope to encourage a 'politics of service'
rooted in the idea that change starts one per-


son and one neighborhood at a time.
"With today's troubled economy, reaching
out to our neighbors has become more im-
portant than ever," said Roz Odell, a Change
Is Coming member and contact person of the
drive. "We see people suffering every day and
having to choose between buying gas, filling
prescriptions and putting food on the table.
Anything we can do to harness the energy of
our grassroots movement to help our county
through the difficult time is not only our re-
sponsibility, but our privilege."
Odell suggests that donations include the
following most needed items that have been
depleted after the holiday season: peanut
butter, canned fish and meat, canned vegeta-
bles and fruit, cereal (whole grains), dry pasta
and sauce, baby diapers, baby formula,
household products, juice (boxes or cans),
macaroni and cheese, rice, snacks (think nu-
tritious), warm clothes (gently used).
Items should be dropped off at any of the
three agencies or brought to the capping off
meeting,
For information, call Odell at 601-2429 or e-
mail rozodell@aol.com.

'Canes dominance continues


Citrus wrestlers win
4th Hurricane Cup
JONATHAN DEUTSCHMAN
jdeutschman@chronicleonline.com
Chronicle
The final round of Saturday's Rob
Hermann/Hurricane Cup dual meet
tournament at Citrus High School
came down to the 119-pound class.
Luckily for Citrus, that's their most
reliable one.
Trailing Fleming Island by three


points, the Hurricanes needed at
least a major decision from Craig
Barker to take home the cup for the
fourth straight year. -...
Barker delivered, de-
feating his oppo-
nent with a
five-point technical
fall to give Citrus the
32-30 victory.
"That's how actually the tourna-
ment fell in place," Barker said of
his weight class being the last to
wrestle. "We beat (Fleming Island)
at this tournament last year, but we
beat them a lot worse. We knew
they were coming back hard for


some revenge. It really came down
to the wire."
It was fitting that Barker pro-
-.- vided the winning points
Saturday. The four-
b year starter has had
a hand in each cup
victory.
"All four years, that's
a great accomplishment," he
said.
Also coming up with wins for Cit-
rus in that final round were Justin
Nolen, Chris Toles, Cody Sumlin
and John Dreggars, all by pin, and
Tim Musto by minor decision.
Fleming Island actually won eight


of the fourteen total matches, in-
cluding four straight in the upper
weight classes, but Citrus only al-
lowed one pin and kept the margin
close enough for Barker to close
the deal.
"It really is special, because we
never lost this tournament in the
four years we've held it," said Cit-
rus head coach Mike Porcelli.
"Fleming Island is a great, great
program."
Porcelli said his team has placed
second in the last two tournaments
they've attended, but currently
boasts a dual meets record of 14-2.
The Hurricanes have made no se-


cret this season of their aspirations
toward a state title, and Porcelli said
this tournament will go a long way
in preparing the team for the oppo-
sition that awaits them in February,
"We scheduled all these tough
teams so that when we get to Lake-
land, there's no surprises," he said.
Citrus defeated Kissimmee,
Crystal River, Countryside and
Lemon Bay to advance to the final
match. Rounding out the top five in
team standings were Belleview at
third, Lemon Bay at fourth and
Central at fifth.
Crystal River defeated Kissim-
mee and placed eighth as a team.

I am done

with this

beeping

year
It was about 1 a.m. on a
day that was very close to
the end of the year.
It was a very bad year.
Somewhere in the dis-
tance, a loud beeping noise
began. It was a warm Decem-
ber night and the windows
were open. The noise drifted
along the Crystal River and
annoyed everyone who was
still trying to get to sleep.
The beeping annoyed my
wife. It sure annoyed me.
At about 8 a.m., I was sitting
on the back porch reading
the newspaper and I could
still hear the beeping noise.
Every 10 seconds there was
another beep.
It was as annoying as lis-
tening to ex-county commis-
sioner, Joyce Valentino
explain why impact fees
were a good thing.
It was as annoying as the
Mets falling apart in the last
month of the baseball season.
It was as annoying as those
statements from our 401K
plan that kept explaining
why losing 40 percent of my
retirement investment was
not a bad thing.

COMMUNITY COMPASSION



A little charity



goes a long way


A t a time when the county's
unemployment rate seems
determined to push its
way into double digits, those at
local charities providing food
and other aid to people in need
have seen a steep
increase in the de- THE I
mand for services.
And now the need Econ
isn't driven by typi- downtur
cal charity cases more hur
single parents, the
sick, the elderly who OUR OP
can no longer make
ends meet This Rough ye
time, it's coming
from those who are used to work-
ing for a living, used to bringing
home a paycheck and paying
their way, who may have even
supported the agencies to which
they are now turning forhelp.
Even if, as some local busi-
nesses leaders have optimisti-
cally proclaimed, the housing
slump has hit bottom and the
local market is ready to make a
comeback, recovery will likely
be slow, and once-plentiful con-
struction jobs probably won't be
as ubiquitous in the short term.
Meanwhile, it is important for
the local organizations to work
together and coordinate their ef-
forts so that the people who
need help the most receive it.
County leaders and the local


Spoiled nation
Thank you, Joe Spoto, for your
letter to the editor on Sunday (Dec.
28). It is exactly how I feel, but I
would not have been able to word it
as you did. We are a spoiled nation
and we are raising a more spoiled
nation of "Gimme, gimme, gimme,
someone will take care of me, I
don't have to do anything." Thanks
again, Joe, for your letter.
Doing our best


" This is in response to "Lighting up
our lives," about the Horfosassa
Springs Wildlife State Park
celebration of lights. We are
just volunteers who man the &
celebration of lights every
year. We are not policemen.
There are "No smoking"
signs posted all over the
park at the entrances be-
cause it's a smoke-free state
park. I'm sorry you had
such a bad experience, but CA
we cannot stop everybody ()
cwho decides to light up and )U
doesn't read the signs. Have
a happy new year.


I


Unbelievable,
I can't believe someone can lose
a Christmas tree off his truck and
leave it on the road. It caused a mo-
torcyclist to hit it because it was
dark. Have you no shame? A person
has to lose his job, have a lot of
medical bills and a broken collar-
bone and broken hand because of
your carelessness. Come forWard
and help this person. Call Bay News
9 ... Someone has to come forward.
Same old thing
I'm responding to the Sound Off
from "Shocked at Barack," where
the person expresses outrage that
Mr. Obama picked Rev. Warren to do
the invocation at the inaugural be-
cause Rev. Warren is antiabortion,
anti-homosexuIlity. No. 44 is just
confounding those who voted for
real change by putting together a
crafty same-old combination of a
third Clinton term on most policies
and a third Bush term on issues re-
lating to the war in Iraq. No. 44 is
going to ignore his core constituents
because they will support him no
matter what. This is just the begin-
ning, folks. This administration will
have less transparency, .even greater


United Way should be well
equipped to take a leadership
role, monitoring the food pantries
to see where the greatest need
lies and making sure each agency
,has enough to help the commu-
nity it serves.
SSUE: As many local
SU businesses that in
omic the past made gen-
n means erous gifts now feel
iger here. the pinch of the
economic reces-
:INION: sion, it will also
take more small do-
ar ahead, nations to make up
the difference.
In a county where compassion
is a point of pride, the months
ahead could be a time to turn
from giving out of a place of
bounty to making little sacrifices
to keep our neighbors from
going hungry
Sending just a few extra dol-
lars here and there or donating
canned goods to a food pantry
could help a whole family eat
three squares a day. At your next
yard sale, consider splitting the
proceeds, or better yet, donating
unwanted items to local charity
thrift stores that use profits to
help feed families.
As Marley's ghost told Scrooge,
mankind is our business. And
who knows, the next person who
needs help could be you.

national debt, more reduced home-
land security, higher taxes, and it
goes on and on. So stop whining ...
Get smart


I'm responding to an article in
Sound Off in the Sunday paper and
I'd like to know where these people
put their garbage if they don't have
pick-up ... I know where the recycla-
ble stuff goes. They just throw it
along (U.S.) 19. So come on, peo-
ple, get smart.
They're animals
These dog lovers that keep calling
your Sound Off column ...
They are not people. They
SND l are not your human babies.
F They're dirty animals. They
belong outside on a chain
in a dog coop. This per-
son's calling in about a rat-
tlesnake. I go hunting, I go
hiking and I'm in the woods
all the time .. I've never
seen a rattler here in
057 f Florida and I'm out in
0J 79 swamps, too,. and it's kind
of cool. But these dogs, put
the dog in your house let it rub
against your knee? ... Not for me.
They're not humans; they're animals.
Overloaded
Illegal dumping during non-busi-
ness hours. It really is pathetic how
much garbage you people left over
the holiday weekend behind the
county thrift stores. Now the staff
has to overload their Dumpsters,
make special trips to the dump and
spend time they could be process-
ing good stuff that was for sale,
cleaning up the mess you left.
Love it
I love the Chronicle. Merry Christmas
to everybody and happy New Year.
Stop the blame
I am so sick and tired of reading
about Sandra Himmel whining and
crying about the budget cuts for the
school district because we poor tax-
payers voted to lower our property
tax. Well, how about you cut out
your sports programs and all other
unnecessary spending you people
do. Don't blame it on us taxpayers.
Half of the people that live in
Florida don't even have children
that go to school. Quit blaming
everything on the taxpayers.

Helping our students
On page A10 of Tuesday's news-
paper, the editorial opinion said it
all: "Jobless stats drive home local
needs."
How true that is in our environ-
ment today. People of all ages are
making difficult and tough choices
about how to use their money. The
.needs within our community are
great
The Women of Sugarmill Woods
are working toward helping Citrus
County students afford to further
th ir education through a
fudraising charity golf event
This is the 13th year WSW has
sponsored the Schoolastic Classic
Golf Tournament at Sugarmill
Woods Country Club. The 2009
event will be on Monday, Feb. 23.
Last year, local businesses and pa-
trons donated money and other
prizes that helped us to net just
over $13,000. All of these monies,
coupled with funds raised at other
events WSW sponsored through-
out the year, enabled us to award
12 students almost $50,000 in
scholarships.
Without this support and other
sources of financial aid, many of
our brightest Citrus County stu-
dents would be unable to attend
an institution of higher learning.
With your help and the many vol-
unteers in Women of Sugarmill
Woods, we can continue to create
a brighter future for those stu-
dents who wish to pursue learning
a skill or preparing for other ca-
reers.
If you are interested in making a
donation to support this worth-
while event, please call me, tour-
nament co-chairwoman Donna
Rayne, at 382-2999. Help send a
kid to college!

No need for increase
Since the NRC has yet to approve
the nuclear power plant in Levy
County, which will take four years
and another six to build, how then
can Progress Energy ask for a 25 per-
cent increase to pay for said nuclear
power plant from its customers?
Why don't they float a bond or
wait for the new administration to
get allotted funds for alternative
power before we have to pay a 25
percent increase that we will
never get back if the power plant
does not go forward?
The purpose of a nuclear power
plant is for cheaper and safer elec-
tricity; hence, there is no need at
the present for such an outrages
increase by progress energy.

Lack of enforcement
Dr. Dixon, in his column of Dec.
14, was very bitter against the gov-
ernment and its programs, claim-
ing inefficiency, waste and fraud.
He neglected to mention among
other good programs, a very effi-
cient government program, Social
Security. The documentation of
fraud, abuse and waste that he
writes about is known, thanks to
some government employee doing
his job of monitoring the programs.
He extols private corporations for
their efficiency and small losses to
fraud and waste. Just how many
private corporations and banks
folded this year due to fraud and
waste? And whose anonymous tax-
payer money just bailed many out?
The Pentagon has been known to
often demote or reassign those gov-
ernment employees who expose
their fraud and waste of taxpayer
money, given to private corpora-
tions that do jobs that the military
used to do. This may be due to the
fact that so many officers, upon re-
tirement from the military go to
work for those same contractors.
I remember when mail was de-
livered twice a day. I also remem-
ber when schools turned out
well-educated students.
A small bit of historical knowl-
edge would inform Dr. Dixon of the
reason it is difficult to fire a fed-
eral employee for cause. It was to
keep politics out of the operations
of the day-to-day government It is
not impossible to fire a substan-
dard employee; I have partici-
pated in the process several times.
The problem, Dr. Dixon, is due to
the deregulation and lack of enforce-
ment of regulations. That and the
rampant appointments of industry
insiders to regulate the very agen-
cies they work against: the cronies
guarding the hen houses, if you will.

Fred Brannen
A SLICE
OF LIFE


rom time to time, I'll
read about a lady well-
advanced in age who is
expecting for example, I re-
cently saw an article about a
great-grandmother who is ex-
pecting twins.
In a few days, daughter
Becky is coming to visit. It's
something Cheryl and I are
looking forward to with great
anticipation.
Under such circumstances, I
suppose one could say we're
expecting, perhaps even that


we are expecting a child, but,
we are not EXPECTING!
No sirree.
We are not, and never, ever
again will we be, expecting in
the sense of waiting for the re-
sults of certain actions we've
taken nine months earlier.
.I hope..
The mother-to-be in the
news never expected to be ex-
pecting again either. It seems a
medical procedure done more
than 3 decades earlier to pre-
vent such things, came undone.


Talk about an oops!
Looking for some reassur-
ance, I spoke with my sweet-
heart. As she often does, Cheryl
brought God into the conversa-
tion. She reminded me of Abra-
ham and Sarah, and how after
they were both well past the
child-bearing years, Isaac was
born.
I wanted an absolute guaran-
tee. My ears were perked-up
for: "It's not going to happen,
no way, no how!"
But, it's not what I got. In-


stead the love of my life
replied, "For us to have an-
other child would require a
major miracle, but, God's in
charge, and if it's His will..."
If it's His will?
Not good enough.
God has a sense of humor.
But, He wouldn't, would He?
I decided to read.the account
of Abraham, Sarah and Isaac
once more and check the details.
I often take comfort from the
scriptures and this time was no
exception.


God didn't spring expecting
on Abraham and Sarah unex-
pectedly. He sent not one, not
two, but three angels to deliver
a promise they'd have a son.
If God should send just one
angel with even a hint Cheryl
might become pregnant, I'll con-
sider myself placed on notice
and will behave accordingly!

Right or wrong
I don't know what deep dark
hole Joe Spoto has been living in
for the past eight years but he sure
does not understand the United
States, nor the people who live
here, nor how we relate to the rest
of the world.
He cites a poll that says two-
thirds of the American people are
unhappy with the direction this
country is going and the leaders
that are taking us there. Then he
lists many of the material advan-
tages we have over a lot of people
in this world, as if that was what
the poll was all about.
Americans realize they are
among the luckiest people in the
world and that the United States of
America was once a "shining bea-
con on a hill" to a great part of the
rest of the world. They also realize
that the past eight years have un-
done nearly 300 years of achieving

that status. In the eyes of the world
and most Americans, the actions of
this government have become
what we hate most in other coun-
tries and it was this Republican
administration that took us there.
He is dead wrong when he says
"the world loves the U.S., yet has a
great deal of distain for its citi-
zens." The world generally likes
the U.S. and its citizens, it just can't
understand how we could elect
and support this administration.
Mr. Spoto then goes on to blame
the media for how bad this presi-
dent now appears, as if there is
any other trustworthy source to get
this information. And wasn't it this
same "media" that, after 9/11,
showed what a "leader" George
Bush could be, even though all it
was was "cheer" leading?
And then he adds to his com-
plaints about the American people
that we are a bunch of weaklings

Even in bad times, be thankful you live in America


For many, 2008 has been
a tough year. Few fore-
saw the collapse of
housing prices. Fewer still
predicted collapse
of the securities
constructed from
pools of mortgages
and other loans.
The financial crisis
struck so quickly
that there was little k;
time to escape.
Stock markets
sustained losses of Dr. Willia
40 percent to 60 OTI
percent world-
wide. There was VOIS
nowhere to hide
one's savings. Gold, oil, corpo-
rate bonds, everything but
U.S. Treasury notes lost value.
Average family wealth
dropped more than 20 per-
cent Hardest hit were those
who lost jobs and those retired


or nearing it To most if felt as
if it were the worst of times.
In fact, it has been more
difficult elsewhere. We, as
Americans, need
to take a deep
breath, seek a
quiet place and
put things in per-
spective.
Despite the fi-
nancial meltdown,
no American is




ing water will be
available. The lights and heat
are not going off. Law and
public safety will be main-
tained. Ninety percent or
more ofAmericans who want
to work will have jobs pro-
ducing the goods and serv-


ices we all need. Those with
income will give generously,
as they always have, to neigh-
bors and family in need.
America will survive, and, in
time, prosper.
Our nation of 300 million
has the largest economy in
the world. Tiny Japan is a dis-
tant second. China's economy
(1.3 billion people) is about
one fourth ours, closer to the
size of the economy of Cali-
fornia. We have sufficient
natural resources including
clean water, forests, farmland
and energy to power our
economy well into the fore-
seeable future. Our military
is the strongest on Earth. Our
currency remains a safe
haven for the world's in-
vestors and depositors.
Look, in comparison, at
what this financial crisis has
done to our enemies and


competitors. Russia,
Venezuela and the Arabian
nations depend upon selling
natural gas and oil to support
their economies. At under $40
per barrel, the price is off 70
percent and well below levels
needed by these countries.
The Russian "Bear" may
growl and threaten the West,
but he has neither tooth nor
claw. The ruble is dropping in
value along with Russian cap-
ital reserves. Their stock mar-
ket is offmore than 60 percent
There is hunger, fear and un-
rest outside the major cities.
Hugo Chavez, too, is in
trouble as the Venezuelan
economy collapses under the
pressure of falling crude oil
prices. He has less money
now to buy weapons and to
support rebels in Colombia
and elsewhere in Latin Amer-
ica. His people are angry.

The Iranians, supporters of
Islamic terrorist groups
around the world, have little
money to meet the basic
needs of their citizens. Infla-
tion is running 25-30 percent
and there are no jobs. Civil
anger and unrest are building.
The economies of these na-
tions will recover long after
the economies of the oil-
using nations. They are un-
likely to be as strong and so
much a threat as they were
before oil .prices collapsed.
Japan and China depend, in
large part, upon exports to the
West The financial crisis has
cut demand for Chinese and
Japanese products. Unless

by Black Diamond. I went by

would keep his foot

signs and do the

wouldn't get a ticket.
So I don't get it... If

you get a ticket. So if

At first I thought it might be
construction equipment on
Cutler Spur. It sounded like
the annoying beeping noise
that comes when a big truck is
backing up. But why would a
construction truck be backing
uip in the middle of the night?

the newspaper and just got
more annoyed.
I I was tired of being an-
noyed. I was tired of being a
victim.
I was a victim of a rotten
economy in 2008. I was a vic-

of a local economy that went
in the tank.
I was a victim of lots of bad
stuff in 2008 and I was sick of
it. I was not going to be a vic-

the beeping.
At first I thought it might
have been a burglar alarm at
a house on our street, but I
was wrong. The house was
silent and I could still hear
the beeping in the distance.
I rode down Citrus Avenue
and ran into neighbor Joe
Smith. He was out walking
his Yorkies Max and Molly -
and he heard the beeping. He
said it annoyed him all
evening, but he thought it was
coming from inside his head.
I told him I would not rest
until the beeping noise was
eliminated.
I rode through the neigh-
borhood in search of the
abuser. I would not rest
Riding up and down the
streets of old Crystal River, I
followed the clues. Another
neighbor said she heard the
noise, but felt helpless. She
was learning to live with the
ongoing beeps.

It was a beautiful day and

The beeping noise was
stronger than ever. I knew I
was getting closer to the
source.
I circled the park a few
times on my bike looking to
eradicate this final blemish
on the year of 2008.
At first the beeping seemed
to be coming from the rest-
room area. Then it was from
high up in a palm tree. I just
kept circling.
There was a family sitting
at a picnic table eating an
early meal and every 10 sec-
onds they would all twitch
when the beep sounded.
"Do you hear the beeping,"
I asked the mother
"Yes, but we don't know
what it is," said the mom as
she twitched to the next
beep.

Someone had to put a stop
to this insanity. Someone had
to put an end to the beeping
year of 2008.
I tightened my circle
around the park until I came
to a garbage can filled with
trash. The elusive beeping
sound appeared to be coming
from the garbage.
I got off the bike and
started to dig into the trash-
can. Two kayakers trudged
through the parking lot car-
rying their craft and shook
their heads in disgust as they
saw me ripping through the
garbage.
I would not be deterred by
mere embarrassment Some-
one had to fight back against
2008.
Finally, there it was, at the
bottom of the garbage can
was a package. It was beep-
ing.
I prepared to tear it open
when a thought crossed my
mind.
Maybe it's a bomb. Maybe

After all, 2008 has been
such a miserable year that
Osama might have planned a

I thought about getting
Sheriff Jeff Dawsy out of bed
(he is a late riser).
The package beeped again.
Forget the sheriff, I con-
cluded, we Americans have
to stand up to Osama and all
that was evil in 2008.
I ripped open the package
and prepared for the bang.
There was no bang.
Just another beep.
Inside the package was a
box of discarded household
fire alarms. One of the alarms
beeped at me.
I smashed the fire alarm on
the rim of the garbage can
and ripped out the dying bat-
tery.
The beeping stopped.
There was silence.

As I rode my bike back
home, Joe Smith told me the
beeping sound was no longer
in his head. He smiled.
If dogs could smile, Max and
Molly also appeared to do so.
We can overcome the bad
stuff, I thought We can fight
back. This is America -
where -good hard-working
people are the envy of the

I had met the enemy and
won. I had defeated beeping
and felt I had a better chance
against all that was evil in

stronger than that.

Just wondering
I'm calling in about the
"Educate the youth" Sound
Off caller. This person's sit-
ting here complaining that
the politicians aren't helping
the young people get their
education. Why does this
lady think the taxpayers
should help pay to put her
kid through college? If her
kid wants to go to college to
make better money, then let
him go out and get more job
and let the parent go out anc
get a job if they're.so worried(
about their kid going to col-
lege. Quit asking the taxpay-
ers to pay for your kid's
education and college ...
After reading about all the
free lunches and partial-paid
lunches that the school's giv.
ing out, which the taxpayers,
are paying for, I'm just won-
dering how many of these
kids' parents smoke ciga-
rettes and drink beer, yet
they can't afford to pay for
their kids' lunches in school.
Just kind of wondering abou
that.
Sickening
My concern is about peo-
ple who work in nursing
homes or assisted care
places and go to work sick.
These places do not pay
these people for sick time, so.
most of them go to work sick
rather than lose a day's pay.
So what happens? The germs
spread to the patients and
about 90 percent of them get
it. Sometimes the sick em-
ployee is sent home, but
they've already given the
germs to one or two of the
patients, who then spread.it
around to the rest. This is all
because one person had no
consideration for the patients
and had to go in and give the
patients their germs, even

Laughable
It's almost hard to keep
from laughing when you read
in the paper that the first
lady and Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice say that
Bush's time as president
wasn't a failure. I mean, how
ignorant do they think we
are? He's the one president


who put us into tremendous their own business instead of
national debt. He's handing everything

happier days ahead in the fu-
ture.
You know?
You know, I was watching
the TV interview, you know, I
mean, with Caroline Kennedy,
you know, where she's talking
about becoming New York's
senator. You know what I
mean, you know. I mean, boy,
js she smart, you know, I
mean.
Overpaid?
We just got our Progress
Energy notice of a 25 per-
cent increase starting in Jan-
uary of 2009. Since
Progress Energy employees
are some of the highest paid
in the county, why doesn't
Progress Energy pay their
employees an average of
what is Citrus County's pay?
Then they, by being average,
they can only increase our
bill, say, 10 to 15 percent
rather than 25 percent. I be-
lieve the employees are prob-
ably overpaid.
Just wrong
Listening to Fox News ...
as well as CNN and MSNBC
critics of Caroline Kennedy
on why she is seeking the .
Senate seat, maybe you
should ask the older people
that lived longer and have a,,
better view of the so-called
Kennedy dynasty. Her uncle
Ted Kennedy wants her to get
Hillary's or Obama's seat, as
she will be a "yes" vote to the.
Democratic Party 'til she
learns the ropes of politics.
And then Ted Kennedy also
wants to keep the Kennedy
dynasty alive and that's how
he can do it. It's payback to
the ones who backed Obama
and Hillary during the pri-
mary. Now they want to get
paid with the seats. This is all
very wrong.
