Peters’ Jeep in Mich. Authorities say dad stole car; Border Patrol alerted near Canada MIKE WRIGHT Staff writer

If you could send a message to any elected official, ... what would you say (and to whom)? Mike Walker I would tell Gov. Rick Scott that he needs to do even more than he has planned to help Florida’s springs and water supply. If we do not have our water, we have nothing. Skip Brady I think I should send a message to all of our government representatives stating, “Leave your (personal) agenda home and represent your constituency.” Leslie D. Snyder To Commissioner Scott Adams I would say I have known you all through school and have seen the changes in all of us. Your neverending fight to protect the people of Citrus has been an amazing one to watch. You have constantly drawn people out and called on the ones who seek to spend money from the people on things that don’t benefit them. I see lots of dust in the wind so to say from many other elected officials, but with you I see someone who stands ready to defend what he speaks. My father still lives in Citrus, as I currently do not, but I follow all the current things that are being debated as it affects his life. I’m glad you’re in office and hope to see you there for many years to come. Many thanks. Bonnie Kohler Good question. I would want to remind them they were elected into office to represent the citizens of the county, state and country. And we do not have trees in our backyards with money hanging on the branches!

It’s a big two weeks for all involved in Citrus Memorial hospital’s future. Both the Citrus County Hospital Board and Citrus Memorial Health Foundation have joint meetings planned this week and next as they seek to select a single bidder by months’ end to buy or lease the hospital. To show a cooperative spirit, the two sides — at odds since 2009 — cosponsored an advertisement in Sunday’s Chronicle inviting the public to attend meetings where the selection process will take place. Citrus County Hospital Board, whose trustees are appointed by the governor and approved by the state Senate, owns the county hospital. The Citrus Memorial Health Foundation, whose board is self-appointed, leases the hospital. Both must agree on a single bidder and transaction type — sale or longterm lease. There are four bidders: Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), Health Management Associates (HMA), RegionalCare Hospital Partners and Tampa General Hospital. The hospital board eliminated Tampa General from consideration, but left the door open to consider a revised bid. The foundation narrowed its choices to Tampa General and HCA. Here’s the meeting schedule: ■ 5 p.m. tonight, both boards will hear Tampa General Hospital’s revised bid. The meeting takes place in the historic See HOSPITAL/Page A5

Dr. Kenneth P. Pritchyk DPM

What are Hearing Aid Channels and Bands? Two of the most important characteristics of hearing aids are “Channels” and “Bands”… which are also some of the most misunderstood by users. To start off with, the number of channels or bands has nothing to do with the number of programs or volume settings. Sounds are processed and amplified by a hearing aid based on frequencies (or the pitch of a sound) and volumes. A peek at your audiogram will tell you how much amplification you need for any given frequency. In a nutshell, bands and channels thus determine how

instance the sound of keys falling on a table, or water running in the sink may be overwhelming. When your hearing aid offers many channels we can adjust each frequency that is too loud without sacrificing the things you want to hear, like your spouse or boss.” Thus, just the way a high-resolution picture gives you a sharper image, more bands and channels provide you with a more granular sound quality. More channels will provide better “resolution” on the frequencies and more bands will mean better “resolution” on the volume… thus allowing your hearing aid to match your audiogram more accurately.

granular a hearing aid can process and amplify the sounds it perceives. To quote a great explanation from Philips: “A band is what is used to control volume in different frequencies. This allows us to adjust more volume in a specific area of your hearing loss without effecting other areas where you might need less volume The more bands the hearing aid offers the more room we have to fit the aid to your hearing loss. Channels break up the frequency range into individual channels. This allows the hearing aid to differentiate noise from speech. The more channels the hearing aid has the more fine tuned it can be.

Two homes catch fire Ozello home lost to blaze CHRIS VAN ORMER Staff writer A cooking accident early Sunday morning is considered the cause of a blaze that led to the total loss of an Ozello residence, according to Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office Division of Fire Rescue, while later in the day a Floral City home was damaged by a fire of unknown origin.

Three engines arrived on scene at 12:28 a.m. to find the 700square-foot single-family residential structure at 14358 W. Shorecliff Court, Ozello, owned by Wally Norton, fully involved in fire. According to the incident report, the owner of the residence was cooking with grease at the time of the fire when the fire flashed. The fire quickly moved throughout the attic and the rest of the residence. Fire Rescue made the recommendation to use care when introducing frozen foods into hot grease,

because the water content can cause a violent reaction with hot grease to lead to a fire eruption. No injuries were reported. The residence was reported to be a total loss at $87,000. Crews from Homosassa, Connell Heights, Derosa, Crystal River and Kensington stations responded to assist.

Floral City house burns At 8:50 a.m., crews were called to a residential structure fire at 12900 E. Trails End Road, Floral City. At 9:05 a.m., Engine 241 from Floral City station found a 700-

square-foot wood-frame single family dwelling owned by David Vincent about 25 percent involved in fire. It was unoccupied. An interior attack and primary search were initiated, and crews brought the fire under control. No injuries were reported. The loss to the structure and contents was estimated at $38,500. Crews from Inverness, Kensington and Sugarmill Woods also responded. Contact Chronicle reporter Chris Van Ormer at 352-564-2916 or cvanormer@chronicleonline. com.

HISTORY

‘Insidious’ sequel scares up success LOS ANGELES — Moviegoers had an appetite for fright this weekend, sending “Insidious: Chapter 2” to the top of the box office. The haunted-house horror sequel debuted in first place with $41 million, more than tripling the opening take of the 2010 original. Debuting on Friday the 13th, FilmDistrict’s “Insidious: Chapter 2” scored the highest September opening day ever, said box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Hollywood.com. “It was a perfect release date for this movie,” he said. “James Wan has cracked the code on making great horror movies.” The director had another firstplace opener earlier this summer with the “The Conjuring,” another haunted-house thriller starring Patrick Wilson. Wilson returns in “Insidious 2,” playing a husband and father with some scary personal baggage. Another newcomer, Relativity Media’s Robert De NiroMichelle Pfeiffer crime caper “The Family,” opened in second place with $14.5 million. That bumped last week’s champ, “Riddick,” to third. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final domestic figures will be released Monday. 1. “Insidious: Chapter 2,” $41 million ($5 million international). 2. “The Family,” $14.5 million. 3. “Riddick,” $7 million ($9.6 million international). 4. “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” $5.58 million ($2.5 million international). 5. “We’re the Millers,” $5.4 million ($9 million international). 6. “Instructions Not Included,”

Domingo said his father — the internationally known tenor Placido Domingo — has always advised him to enjoy what he does, to stick to his own style, and to respect the public. The younger Domingo has written songs for artists including Sarah Brightman, Diana Ross and Riccardo Cocciante. “I actually enjoy writing very much,” he said. “Singing is a real pleasure as well, and it comes from the heart, I believe.” He wrote or co-wrote the music to three of the 12 songs on “Amore Infinite” — poems written by Karol Wojtyla before he became Pope John Paul II in 1978. Domingo also produced the album, which features Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Vanessa Williams and Katherine Jenkins.

Placido Domingo Jr. coming to Tupelo TUPELO, Miss. — Placido Domingo Jr. is coming to what he calls “Elvis’ land.” The Mexican singer, songwriter and producer will perform in Tupelo — Elvis Presley’s birthplace — on Sept. 21. “The king rules and I am invited to be a part of this great town with such an amazing history,” he told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.

Today is Monday, Sept. 16, the 259th day of 2013. There are 106 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 16, 1857, the song “Jingle Bells” by James Pierpont was copyrighted under its original title, “One Horse Open Sleigh.” (The song, while considered a Christmastime perennial, was actually written by Pierpont for Thanksgiving.) On this date: In 1908, General Motors was founded in Flint, Mich., by William C. Durant. In 1919, the American Legion received a national charter from Congress. In 1972, “The Bob Newhart Show” premiered on CBS. Five years ago: Gen. David Petraeus stepped aside as Gen. Ray Odierno took over as the top American commander of the Iraq war. One year ago: In appearances on Sunday news shows, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, said there was no evidence that the attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, was premeditated. But Libya’s interim president, Mohammed el-Megarif, told CBS he had no doubt attackers spent months planning the assault and purposely chose the date, Sept. 11. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Janis Paige is 91. Actress Lauren Bacall is 89. Blues singer B.B. King is 88. Actress Linda Miller is 71. Actress Susan Ruttan is 65. Actor Ed Begley Jr. is 64. Actor-comedian Lenny Clarke is 60. Actor Kurt Fuller is 60. Actor Mickey Rourke is 57. Magician David Copperfield is 57. Country singer-songwriter Terry McBride is 55. Actress Jennifer Tilly is 55. Singer Richard Marx is 50. Singer Marc Anthony is 45. Comedian-actress Amy Poehler is 42. Actress Alexis Bledel is 32. Actress Sabrina Bryan is 29. Rock singer-musician Nick Jonas (The Jonas Brothers) is 21. Thought for Today: “Stoicism is the wisdom of madness and cynicism the madness of wisdom.” — Bergen Evans, American lexicographer (1904-1978).

Obituaries B E V E R LY H I L L S

Michael A. Gruss, 81, of Beverly Hills, passed away Sept. 12, 2013, in Ocala, Fla. Michael was born May 24, 1932, in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of Aloysius J. a n d Catherine Emerich Gruss. He marMichael ried Mary Gruss Annette Tranchida at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in New London, Conn., on Jan. 14, 1956. They celebrated their 57th anniversary in 2013. Michael graduated magna cum laude from Benedictine High School in Cleveland and was the class Salutatorian. He also graduated magnum cum laude from Case Institute of Engineering with a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering in 1954. At Case, he was elected into Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu honorary fraternities. In 1963, he completed his education by graduating magna cum laude from the University of Connecticut with a Master of Science Degree. After graduation from Case, he worked for Robbins & Myers and General Electric as an engineer. In 1957, he was employed by General Dynamics, Electric Boat Division in the Research and Development Department. During

his tenure at Electric Boat, he designed systems for various non-military applications and later was the principal engineer on classified military systems employed on various nuclear-powered submarines. He performed as design engineer, project engineer and group supervisor prior to being responsible for the classified projects. During this interval, he also taught adult education classes at the local high school, in-plant computer courses, and engineering courses at the former Thames Valley State Technical College. Outside of work, he coached several Little League teams in the Waterford South District. After retirement in 1989 from Electric Boat, he relocated to Beverly Hills, Fla.

County stays in Citrus County. We are part of a larger organization. For that extra less-than-1 percent, we are getting back resources, data and research that we can use to help implement strategies in our community. Education, income and health initiatives are giving us access to that. We try to make sure that all of the dollars raised are plugged in specifically for people who want to change their lives.” She explained to the Chronicle how the United Way impacts lives locally. CHRONICLE: What is United Way’s mission in Citrus County? MEEK: United Way is really a community galvanizer. We utilize our platform to get agencies involved in making real, lasting change. Every agency in the community has a core mission or principal set of values. But most of the time, people in the community have more than one need, like: child care and food assistance, education and transportation, etc. ... But there is not one organization that provides all of that. What we try to do is identify needs and bring the right agencies to the table that can really help. Temporary assistance is never enough. It is just that — temporary. We feel like temporary assistance isn’t going to make reallasting changes. It’s not going to change the trajectory of a person’s life or family’s life. We want to identify the multiple layers of needs that families and people experience and bring the right agency to address those. People don’t live in programs or projects, they live in communities. To just dump a person into just one program or project is never going to work. CHRONICLE: Since

ing folks to give them the information that they need. So once the workers do get out of the shelter, they will know how to keep the money coming in and saving it. We also have a budget coach going out to CASA (the domestic violence shelter) to help the women there so they can understand how to budget better and take control of their financial lives. So if you are good at that sort of thing we would love to see you get involved. Also, we are looking for adult mentors. This is an opportunity to help guide someone’s life. Give them that everyday guidance that they need. Help them by providing them networking capital. That sometimes is the biggest missing link. That networking capital is more valuable than cash or money in the bank. I would love to see some adult mentors involved that can really help and encourage people to have access to good resources.

We have stories that we can tell of how people are not just helped in a pinch to get food on the table this one week or bills paid this month, we are talking about changing their whole future. The theme will be “Driving change together.” Getting the whole community rallied around driving change. CHRONICLE: How can the everyday citizen get involved and help drive change in Citrus County? MEEK: There are lots of ways. You can give through payroll deduction or send in a check in the mail. However, there are other ways. Maybe you don’t have a lot of money but you are good at balancing your checkbook, saving or cutting costs. We are always looking for people to be budget coaches. That’s huge.

one wants. The “Earn It, Keep It, Save It” really gave people the chance to take control of their financial lives and understanding incoming expenses so they can start tucking money away. Fifty-six people are going to save $42,000 in 2013. How can you not get excited about that? CHRONICLE: How is the United Way of Citrus County going to surpass last year? MEEK: We are excited about the successes that we had last year. But we really want to bring the resources on in a more powerful way to more people. Last year, we had some great success with a small group of people at WTI, being able to meet some of their needs. But now we want to do it bigger and better. We are not only going to be able to bring the needs assessment in but also the resources that they need. Now we are looking to get adult mentors for adult students. I meet with Rebecca York at the College of Central Florida (CF) Educational Opportunity Center and Sonya Bosanko at the Early Learning Coalition for a special grant that is designed just to help parents through the Early Learning Coalition. This special grant is designed for parents who are going back to CF or WTI to get child care assistance so they can go back to school. That’s huge, as it is changing lives and opening doors. That’s changing the family and a pivot point for a

you have been the CEO of United Way of Citrus County, how have you seen the impact of United Way in the community? MEEK: There are so many. Being at the GED (General Educational Development) graduation was extremely emotional — to see where these people who have tough struggles in their lives. People that might not be freshly dropped out of high school but they have been out for a while. To see them accomplish a goal and to see that hope in their lives and family and to see how this is impacting them is amazing. One of the women, named Janet, just received her GED. Now we are helping her 20-yearold daughter, Alison, get hers, as well. She is already enrolled at WTI (Withlacoochee Technical Institute). That is a huge success, because that is changing the value of education for that family. Now their family is valuing education in a whole new way. Alison has a young child and another one on the way. Janet also has another daughter. Hopefully, those children will really value education and have a better chance at completing high school and going on to do bigger and better things. I don’t know how you can’t get excited about things like that. It’s fun and it’s emotional. We also have Virginia. What an amazing lady! Now, she is taking managerial classes (after just completing her GED at the age of 50). She has an opportunity to be promoted and is working with the school district. She has access to benefits and a pension plan — all of the things that every-

In the years ahead, applicants will need to submit their applications before May 1. Applicants who provide the required proof of their income should receive the assistance, but just making an application is no guarantee of succeeding. “Unfortunately, there may be some that have insufficient documentation that will get declined,” Blanchette said.

For those residents who can prove hardship, their $54 fee will be paid by the county.

Philip Graham Wheeler, mustang pilot/educator, age 89, died of natural causes Sept. 14, 2013, in Floral City, Fla. He was born April 7, 1924, in C e d a r Springs, Philip Wheeler Mich., to the late Warren and Frankiedell (Matteson) Wheeler. He will be sorely missed by family and friends alike. Phil had been in a private care facility and under the care of Hospice of Citrus County. Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 70 years, Helen. Phil and Helen raised three children: Phil Jr. and his wife Barb, and Carol Cluts, living in Inverness and Floral City respectively, and Janet Wheeler who resides in Tennessee; two sisters, Sally Barker (Glenn) and Patricia Waitz (Jon), living in Michigan; a brother-inlaw Richard living in Maryland; seven grandchildren; two stepgrandchildren; nine greatgrandchildren; two stepgreat-grandchildren; and several nieces, nephews and extended family. He was preceded in death by a grandson, Jesse Rowe. Phil joined the Army Air Corps in 1943, flew 21 missions escorting B17 and B24 bombers from bases in Italy, and retired from the Michigan Air National Guard in 1967 as a lieutenant colonel. Not unlike many of his generation, he then had a second career as an educator, teaching sixth grade, and spent seven years as a principal. After 30 years in education, he retired from teaching in the Ypsilanti Public School System in Ypsilanti, Mich., in 1983. After their retirement, Phil and Helen sailed in their 31-foot sloop, “Schools Out” from Michigan to Florida, where they have remained ever since. A tribute to Phil’s life will be at 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20, 2013, at Chas. E. Davis Funeral Home with Crematory. Burial with military honors will follow at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell. The family will greet friends in visitation from 12:30 p.m. until the hour of service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice of Citrus County or the American Cancer Society.

makes sense for us to process these applications.” The application is available at Housing Services in the Lecanto Government Building, at the courthouse in Inverness on the second floor or online at www. bocc.citrus.fl.us/commser v/ housing/housing_services.htm. An applicant must own the property, have a homestead exemption and proof of an extremely low income — less than or equal to 30 percent of limits established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Extremely low income limits start at $10,100 per year for one person. It ranges from $14,400 for a four-person family to $19,050 for an eight-person family. So far, as so few applications

As residents who are living on a low income will pay proportionately more tax than they would expect to pay because of the value of their homes, the MSBU resolution included provision for hardship assistance that is being administered through Citrus County Housing Services. “The county administrator designated housing (services) because we do income eligibility for many programs,” said Heidi Blanchette, Housing Services operations manager. “It’s using the HUD standards, and that’s what we use for most of our funding.

Treading water will not save our waters AL GRUBMAN s the new TOO FAR President in 2007, I was honored when the Save Our Waters Week (SOWW) Committee sponsored by Citrus 20/20 Inc. asked me to write a guest column for the Chronicle in support of the committee’s purpose of promoting public awareness, appreciation and consensus to save our waters from further degradation. Accepting the challenge of writing about such a complex issue, the time and effort I spent studying the environment, water and history of Citrus County proved to be a dividend, since no one laughed at or corrected me about the concerns I articulated. Following my initial guest column in support of SOWW, three more followed. When comparing the statements that I made in each of these guest columns between 2007 and today, one thing that is regrettably clear is that progress has been so incremental that we are treading water when it comes to saving them. Statements I made in 2007 still hold true. “For all of us in Citrus County and beyond, it is critically important to limit growth to a sustainable level. We must not grow faster than we can return clean water to the aquifer to sustain our population and prevent salt water intrusion.” I still believe it and more so with the recent examples we see at Cedar Key and all our springs. “Water conservation can make a major difference in stretching our supplies of water

A

Guest COLUMN and keeping the cost increases down. Much can be done with just a little effort. Do not leave water running just to run down the drain.” This remains true but we are not doing enough to conserve. In 2008, I pointed out, “In Citrus County any contaminant falling on the ground is likely to end up in our surface water, springs and in the aquifer. One of the worst examples is nitrogen from fertilizers. Fertilizers soaking into the ground continue to fertilize our lakes and springs. More and more weeds are fouling our lakes and algae are degrading our springs.” This is a continuing and major long-term danger to our waterways. Except for occasional lip service, government is doing nothing to improve the situation and impedes public efforts to limit sale of fast release fertilizers or fertilizer during our rainy season. In 2009, I noted, “Conservation of water is always appropriate whether or not water is being wasted by your neighbor or developers. When water starts running out, we pay. The more we conserve the less we pay and the further into the future we push the costs of new water supplies.” In addition to other results of water scarcity, like rising cost, consider that all the spending and effort to clean up King’s Bay may be for naught if King’s Bay/Crystal River flow is not increased. Lyngbya is helped by saltwater in competing against native plants. As flow diminishes, saltwater moves further

Pool full of kids

Fox guards hen house

Someone called in on Sunday’s (Aug. 25) paper and had about the weeds at the Lecanto Post Office. Well, there’s a suggestion that maybe they would like to volunteer to weed the landscaping. Or another suggestion would be for the county to have the trusties from the jail go up and do it. It would give them something to do besides the few times that we see them walking along the roads picking up trash.

We went to the swimming pool one day last week and we couldn’t get in because it was full of kids. I thought it was more important for the kids to learn in school than to learn to swim. They can learn to swim any time.

According to the lead story in Sept. 9’s Washington Post, the meat inspection program that USDA plans to roll out in meat and poultry plants nationwide has repeatedly failed to stop production of contaminated meat. The program allows meat producers to increase the speed of processing lines and replace USDA safety inspectors with their own employees. But plants operating under this program have experienced some of the worst health and safety violations that include failure to remove fecal matter and partly digested food, according to USDA inspector general. These contaminants may contain complex strains of deadly E. coli and listeria. Traditionally, USDA has catered more to the interests and profitability of the meat industry than health and safety concerns of American consumers. Consumer interests come into play only when large numbers of us get sick. Having the USDA protect consumers is like asking the fox to guard the chicken house. The Obama administration must reallocate responsibility for consumer safety to the Food and Drug administration.

What now? I saw the poll in the paper where 53 percent of the people said our county administrator needs to go. Now let’s see what the county commission does. I’m most certain it will be like government is in all aspects of our lives today. They don’t care what you think.

Buses not the best I just want to say it seems like it was ridiculous for J.J. Kenney to support his rural transit dropoff point as apparently the best in the state when we don’t even have bus service on the weekends. This facility is unnecessary and another example of excessive spending by the county, supporting their increased taxes, which we don’t need.

inshore. Just two years ago, my column again stressed the wise use of our water. “Our water is too important and valuable to use half of our purified drinking water to grow grass. That’s right; half of our purified drinking water is used for grass.” “Florida Friendly Landscaping uses plants and systems that are more tolerant of dry times while still looking attractive and healthy. Don’t fight Mother Nature, use water gently. Even Florida Friendly grasses that are dormant in the dry season can save a lot of water. How we landscape may be the biggest single improvement to the system.” Reused and treated water can replace potable water on golf courses and residential lawn irrigation. I am going on 74 years old. Our water and our environment will probably last long enough for most of us old folks. However, I am pleading for our kids and grandkids. We live in a beautiful place. Let’s save it for them. Please keep in mind the 2013 Save Our Waters Week theme, “Water: Save it now or lose it forever.” Surprise me — keep our water clean and plentiful!

Positive and negative

In the meantime, each of us must assume responsibility for our own safety by switching to the rich variety of plantbased meats offered in local supermarkets.

I read the Sound Off and I can’t believe there are so many people in Citrus County who are so lonely and depressed that they are looking at things in a negative way. Yes, I see some trash alongside the road, but I look at the trees instead — they give us shade, purify the air we breathe and give shelter to our birds. Yes, the grass is a little higher in the median strip, but I thank God for the rain. It keeps it green, it gets cut sooner or later, I do notice the weeds growing on the edge of the lake, but I think what a nice place for the fish to get shade and keep cool in the summer. And I look at the beautiful lakes we have for boating and fishing. Believe me, if we look at things positively we can always find something good. Citrus County is a beautiful place to live. They say, “stop and smell the roses.” Think positive. It will make you happy. I only pass this way once. I’d like to be remembered as a happy person. Try it; you’ll be amazed at the results. Have a happy day.

The Jeep belonging to Edward Peters was found Saturday at the Sanilac Petroglyphs State Historic Site in Cass City, about 90 minutes north of Detroit.

Ferry services to Canada are also available just south of Port Huron. Interstate 75 extends from Florida to Michigan. Citrus County Sheriff ’s deputies found Peters’ GPS monitoring ankle device Sept. 8 along the northbound lanes of Interstate 75 in Hernando County. DeCarlo said he doesn’t know if Peters intends to take his daughters to Canada. He has no family or friend connections to

Michigan. “Why he’s traveled that far north, I don’t know,” he said. “We’re trying to track him the best we can.” Murphy, who was researching the Sanilac area online Sunday, said her brother left with no clothing other than what he was wearing. She said he might have had some cash, but not much. “I’m obsessed with trying to figure out what’s going on,” Murphy said. “I don’t have a clue where he is or what he’s doing.

Official: Weapons deal a ‘victory’ Associated Press

BEIRUT — A high-ranking Syrian official called the U.S.-Russian agreement on securing Syria’s chemical weapons a “victory” for President Bashar Assad’s regime, but the U.S. warned Sunday “the threat of force is real” if Damascus fails to carry out the plan. The comments by Syrian Minister of National Reconciliation Ali Haidar to a Russian state news agency were the first by a senior Syrian government official on the deal struck a day earlier in Geneva. Under the agreement, Syria will provide an inventory of its chemical arsenal within

one week and hand over all of the components of its program by mid-2014. “We welcome these agreements,” Haidar was quoted as saying by the RIA Novosti agency. “On the one hand, they will help Syrians get out of the crisis, and on the other hand, they averted a war against Syria by removing the pretext for those who wanted to unleash one.” There has been no official statement from the Syrian government, and it was not clear whether Haidar’s comments reflected Assad’s thinking. The deal, hashed out in marathon negotiations between U.S. and Russian

diplomats, averts American missile strikes against the Assad regime, although the Obama administration has warned that the military option remains on the table if Damascus does not comply. President Barack Obama said last week the U.S. Navy will maintain its increased presence in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to keep pressure on Syria and to be in position to respond if diplomacy fails. “The threat of force is real, and the Assad regime and all those taking part need to understand that President Obama and the United States are committed to achieve this goal,” U.S. Secretary of State John

Kerry said Sunday in Jerusalem, where he briefed Israeli leaders on the agreement. He also said the agreement, if successful, “will have set a marker for the standard of behavior with respect to Iran and with respect North Korea and any rogue state, (or) group that tries to reach for these kind of weapons.” The U.S. accuses the Assad government of using poison gas against rebelheld suburbs of Damascus on Aug. 21, killing more than 1,400 people. Other death toll estimates are far lower. Syria denies the allegations and blames the rebels.

NEW YORK — Two police officers fired on a man who was acting erratically and dodging cars on a busy Manhattan street Saturday night, wounding two bystanders and sending people running for cover, authorities said. Police said the man made movements suggesting he had a weapon, though he turned out to be unarmed. The officers’ shots missed him, and he was eventually brought down by a stun gun. Authorities identified the man as Glenn Broadnax, 35, of Brooklyn. He faces multiple counts including menacing, riot, criminal possession of a controlled substance, and resisting arrest.

TIFFIN, Ohio — A fire swept through a mobile home Sunday morning, killing a man and five young children, police said. The fire was reported shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday in a mobile home park in Tiffin, about 50 miles southeast of Toledo, city police said in a release. Part of the mobile home was engulfed in flames when fire crews arrived, police said. Fire crews pulled the man and the children from the home, and all six were taken to Tiffin Mercy Hospital, where they were later pronounced dead, police said. Police did not immediately release the identities of those killed or comment on a possible cause. Neighbors in the park of about 85 mobile homes said a man lived in the home with his girlfriend, their son and the girlfriend’s four daughters. They estimated that the five children ranged in age from about 1 to about 5 or 6.

Monaco’s Prince Albert to visit Wyoming CODY, Wyo. — Prince Albert II of Monaco will be in Cody on Sept. 28 to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of his great-great grandfather’s hunting trip with “Buffalo Bill” Cody. He also plans to deliver a new scientific research grant supporting biodiversity studies in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The prince is revisiting the area surrounding the hunting camp Prince Albert I of Monaco and Buffalo Bill established in 1913, near what is now Yellowstone National Park. Albert I was concerned about deforestation and overfishing in ocean waters. In the 21st century, Prince Albert II wants to carry on the tradition with his scientific interest in the environment. Six years ago, he created the Prince Albert II Foundation to protect the environment and encourage sustainable development. —From wire reports

A newly unveiled statue honoring four slain young church girls graces the corner of Kelly Ingram Park, across the street from the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. The congregation gathered Sunday outside the church for the wreath laying ceremony at the spot where a bomb was detonated 50 years ago by the Ku Klux Klan, killing four young girls.

Alabama church marks 50th anniversary of bombing Associated Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Hundreds of people black and white, many holding hands, filled an Alabama church that was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan 50 years ago Sunday to mark the anniversary of the blast that killed four little girls and became a landmark moment in the civil rights struggle. The Rev. Arthur Price taught the same Sunday school lesson that members of 16th Street Baptist Church heard the morning of the bombing — “A Love That Forgives.” Then, the rusty old church bell was tolled four times as the girls’ names were read. Bombing survivor Sarah Collins Rudolph, who lost her right eye and sister Addie Mae Collins in the blast, stood by as members laid a wreath at the spot where the dynamite device was placed along an outside wall. Rudolph was 12 at the time, and her family left the church after the

bombing. She said it was important to return in memory of her sister, who was 14, and the three other girls who died: Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley Morris, both 14, and Denise McNair, 11. “God spared me to live and tell just what happened on that day,” said Rudolph, who testified against the Klansmen convicted years later in the bombing. Congregation members and visitors sang the old hymn “Love Lifted Me” and joined hands in prayer. The somber Sunday school lesson was followed by a raucous, packed worship service with gospel music and believers waving their hands. During the sermon, the Rev. Julius Scruggs of Huntsville, president of the National Baptist Convention USA, said, “God said you may murder four little girls, but you won’t murder the dream of justice and liberty for all.” Later Sunday, Attorney General Eric Holder and others were set to attend a commemoration. Former

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a Birmingham native who went to school with McNair, was among the scheduled speakers. The dynamite bomb went off outside the church Sept. 15, 1963. Of the Klansmen convicted years later, one remains imprisoned. Two others convicted died in prison. Two young men, both black, were shot to death in Birmingham in the chaos that followed the bombing. Birmingham was strictly segregated at the time of the bombing, which occurred as the city’s schools were being racially integrated for the first time. The allblack 16th Street Baptist was a gathering spot for civil rights demonstrations for months before the blast. The bombing became a powerful symbol of the depth of racial hatred in the South and helped build momentum for later laws, including the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

OK given to right cruise liner Associated Press GIGLIO ISLAND, Italy — Authorities have given the final go-ahead for a daring attempt today to pull upright the crippled Costa Concordia cruise liner from its side in the waters off Tuscany, a make-orbreak engineering feat that has never before been tried in such conditions. The ship capsized there 20 months ago, and Italy’s national Civil Protection agency waited until sea and weather conditions were forecast for dawn today before giving the OK to try to right it. In a statement Sunday, the Civil Protection agency said the sea and wind conditions “fall within the range of operating feasibility.” The Concordia struck a reef near Giglio Island the night of Jan. 13, 2012, took on water through a 230-foot

Workmen on a boat sail near the Costa Concordia ship Sunday as it lies on its side near the Tuscan Island of Giglio, Italy. An international team of engineers is expected today to try a never-before attempted strategy to right the luxury liner, which capsized after striking a reef in 2012, killing 32 people. gash in its hull and capsized just outside the harbor. Thirty-two of the 4,200 passengers and crew members died. The bodies of two of the dead have never been recovered, and may lie beneath the wreckage.

Never before have engineers tried to right such a huge ship so close to land. If the operation succeeds, the Concordia will be towed away and broken up for scrap. Salvage experts had orig-

inally hoped to right the 115,000-ton vessel last spring, but heavy storms hampered work. Crews have raced to get the Concordia upright before another winter season batters the ship against its rocky perch — damage that would increase the chance that it couldn’t be towed away in one piece. Salvage master Nick Sloane seemed optimistic in the final hours before the operation began, saying Sunday that testing of the machinery in recent days had actually lifted the 985foot ship up about 2.5 inches, or 0.15 degrees. There have been concerns that the rocks of the reef on which the Concordia is resting were so embedded in the hull that the ship would resist being pulled off. “We know that ... she is lively enough to move,” Sloane told reporters.

PARIS — French President Francois Hollande has said he hasn’t ruled out the “military option” against Syria, as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry flies to Paris for talks. In a televised address Sunday, Hollande said: “The military option must remain, otherwise there will be no pressure.” Hollande, Kerry, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and British Foreign Secretary William Hague will meet in Paris today to agree on a draft U.N. resolution that would set out how Syria can secure and destroy its chemical stockpile. The diplomatic breakthrough, which has been seen to avert the threat of U.S. military action against Syria, came after a meeting between American and Russian diplomats in Geneva on Saturday.

Female police officer shot in Afghanistan KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Gunmen shot the top female police officer in a troubled southern Afghan province Sunday, leaving her facing possible paralysis just months after her predecessor was killed, government and hospital authorities said. It was the latest in a series of attacks on prominent women in Afghanistan, where just 1 percent of the police force is female. The officer, identified only as Negar, was buying grass for her lambs outside her home when two gunmen drove up on a motorbike and fired at her, said Omar Zawak, a spokesman for the governor of Helmand province. The 38-year-old suffered a bullet wound to the neck, and the medical team treating her is trying to keep her from being paralyzed as a result of the injury, said one of the doctors who operated on her. Negar’s bodyguards fired back at the gunmen, but the attackers escaped.

Bombings kill 58 in south and central Iraq BAGHDAD — A wave of car bombings and other attacks in Iraq killed at least 58 people in mostly Shiitemajority cities on Sunday, another bloody reminder of the government’s failure to stem the surge of violence that is feeding sectarian tensions. No one has claimed responsibility for the blasts, which targeted commercial areas and parking lots in seven cities. But systematically organized waves of bombings are often used by al-Qaida’s local branch, known as the Islamic State of Iraq, to undermine confidence in the Shiite-led government. —From wire reports

Abramowich sets table for Citrus revival C.J. RISAK Correspondent

Pick your catchphrase: Now or never. Do or die. Give it my all. Never say die. And let’s not forget this one — It’s been a long road. They all apply to the Abramowich sisters, Kelly and Amy, as well as six other seniors who have seen little success when it comes to Citrus volleyball — until now. The Hurricanes are off to their best start in at least a half-decade, winning five of their first seven matches. But perhaps more important, on Thursday they did something they haven’t been able to do in at least that same time span — beat district rival Lecanto. All sorts of reasons can be applied to the resurgence of this dormant program, but one thing that can’t be overlooked is the impact Kelly Abramowich has had. The 5-foot-8 setter has been instrumental in setting the table for Citrus hitters Kendra Kirby, Jordan Josey, Shenelle Toxen and, of course, her sister Amy. “I think we’ve really come together, we’ve really bonded,” was Kelly Abramowich’s explanation for her team’s success. “We have a lot of team chemistry.” That kind of togetherness is generated by experience, and the type of experience associated with Citrus volleyball hasn’t been pleasant. The Hurricanes failed to win a district match last season. But that attitude has been adjusted. It was apparent

when Citrus, after taking the first two sets, surrendered a nine-point lead late in the third set and ended up losing it to Lecanto. The fourth set was close throughout, with the Panthers up 22-21 before two kills by Amy Abramowich gave the Hurricanes their final two points and the victory, both coming on sets from Kelly. “We never gave up,” Kelly said. “We kept encouraging each other.” Knowing what to do and doing it are parts of the game that, in the recent past, seemed to elude the Citrus team. Not this season. “She is a solid, solid, solid setter,” Citrus coach Sandy VanDervort said. “She works the back row, she works the front row . . . I’ll tell you, it’s magical when she and her sister connect. You know what’s going to happen.” It wasn’t always so easy for Kelly. VanDervort has noticed the change in her game from last season, most particularly in one area. “Defense,” VanDervort said. “She never hit the floor last year. She’s really improved that part of her game.” See ABRAMOWICH/Page B5 STEPHEN E. LASKO/For the Chronicle

Rays waste lead Tampa Bay loses to Twins 6-4 Associated Press

Associated Press

Tampa Bay cornerback Leonard Johnson leaves the field Sunday as New Orleans kicker Garrett Hartley (5) celebrates his game-winning field goal in Tampa. The Saints defeated the Buccaneers 16-14.

After weather delay, Bucs lose again on last-second field goal Associated Press TAMPA — Winning in dramatic fashion never gets old for Drew Brees. The New Orleans star was sacked four times, knocked around a bunch more and threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown Sunday. Still, he and the Saints found a way to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers again. “That’s football. That’s why we love it, and that’s why we never give up, because we always feel like we have a chance,” Brees said Sunday after leading a last-minute drive to set up Garrett Hartley’s 27-yard field goal as time expired to give New Orleans a weather-delayed 16-14 victory. Brees shrugged off the mistake that gave Tampa Bay the lead early in the fourth quarter to complete three straight passes for 54 yards to lead the Saints (2-0) into position to beat their NFC South rivals for the fourth straight time.

He finished 26 of 46 for 322 yards, although interceptions by linebackers Dekoda Watson and Mason Foster led to all of Tampa Bay’s points. “I think wins like this are vital because no matter what you’ve done in the past, you’ve got to kind of prove it to yourself that this team can do that and overcome those types of odds and circumstances and get a win — on the road, in the division,” Brees said. “These just become so meaningful, and our team got better today.” The game was interrupted by a 69-minute suspension of play because of lightning that sent fans at Raymond James Stadium scurrying for cover in the first quarter. The Bucs (0-2) lost on a field goal in the closing seconds for the second straight week. Foster scored on an 85-yard interception return for a 14-13 lead. However, Rian Lindell missed a 46-yard field-goal attempt with just over a minute left, giving Brees one more chance to bring

the Saints back. “It’s tough to lose no matter (how),” Foster said. “You’ve got to tip your hat to Drew Brees and his receivers making great plays. He’s a great quarterback. He’s proven that over the years.” Brees led his team into scoring position with completions of 15 yards to Jimmy Graham, 8 yards to Darren Sproles and 31 yards to Marques Colston. It was the 22nd time during the regular season Brees has led a winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime since joining the Saints in 2006. “The fact of the matter is we’ve worked so hard. We’ve conditioned ourselves to be prepared for these opportunities, and you just visualize success,” said Brees, who threw a first-quarter TD pass to Graham, who had 10 catches for 179 yards. “You visualize yourself making plays, so really I can

Dolphins hold off Colts Associated Press

But this time, the Dolphins defense buckled down, forced three straight incompletions and didn't allow the evasive Luck out of its grasp on fourth-and-10. All Tannehill had to do then was pick up one first down to run out the clock. Miami improved to 2-0 for only the second time since 2004 and ended Indy's four-game winning streak in the series. Mike Wallace, who was held to one catch in his Dolphins debut, was much more active Sunday. He caught nine passes for 115 yards while Clay had five receptions for 109 yards.

INDIANAPOLIS — With help from his defense, Ryan Tannehill found a way to get the better of Andrew Luck. Tannehill threw for 319 yards and one touchdown and Charles Clay scored on a 1-yard TD run late in the third quarter, leading Miami past Indianapolis 24-20 on Sunday. It was a rare fourth-quarter failure for Luck and the Colts (1-1). Indy was 10-1 under Luck in games decided by seven points or fewer, 8-1 at home and had made the comeback look commonplace.

MINNEAPOLIS — Joel Peralta gave up a solo homer to Ryan Doumit in the eighth inning and a three-run drive to Josmil Pinto, and the Tampa Bay Rays stumbled again in the AL wild-card race with a 6-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. Tampa Bay, which had won its previous three games, wasted a 3-0 lead and dropped to 7-14 from Aug. 25 on. The Rays began the day tied with Texas for the two AL wild-card spots, 1 1/2 games ahead of Cleveland. Minnesota had lost 11 in a row to the Rays. Tampa Bay led 4-2 in the eighth, but Peralta (2-8) blew a save for the third time in four chances. After Doumit’s 13th home run of the season, Trevor Plouffe singled and Josh Willingham walked. Pinto then sent an 0-1 pitch into the Rays bullpen in center field, the rookie’s second career homer. Casey Fien (5-2) earned the win after retiring pinch-hitter David DeJesus on a basesloaded flyout that ended the eighth, and Glen Perkins pitched a perfect ninth for his 35th save in 39 chances. Wil Myers and Sean Rodriguez homered for Tampa Bay, which hosts a four-game series against Texas starting today. Rays starter David Price allowed two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. Myers put Tampa Bay ahead in the fourth with a two-run homer off Pedro Hernandez that reached the middle deck in center. Rodriguez homered leading off the fifth. Chris Parmalee’s two-run single off Jake McGree in the seventh ended Minnesota’s season-high 25-inning scoreless streak. James Loney had an RBI single in the eighth.

Atlanta strong safety William Moore tackles St. Louis tight end Mike McNeill on Sunday in Atlanta. Associated Press ATLANTA — Julio Jones hauled in 11 passes for 182 yards, including an 81-yard touchdown, and the Atlanta Falcons held on for their first win of the season, 31-24 over the St. Louis Rams. Matt Ryan threw for 374 yards and two scores despite taking quite a beating behind the Falcons’ shaky offense line. Jason Snelling clinched it for the Falcons (1-1) with an 11-yard touchdown run with 6:18 remaining — Atlanta’s longest play of the day on the ground. The Rams (1-1) fell behind 21-0 when Osi Umenyiora returned an interception 68 yards for a touchdown early in the second quarter. Atlanta led 24-3 at halftime before St Louis fought back on a pair of short touchdown passes by Sam Bradford. Bradford finished with 352 yards and three TDs.

Raiders 19, Jaguars 9 OAKLAND, Calif. — Darren McFadden ran for 129 yards and Oakland’s defense held Jacksonville out of the end zone until the closing minutes, as the Raiders won their home opener 19-9 over the Jaguars. Terrelle Pryor ran for 50 yards and threw for 126 in his first home start for the Raiders (1-1), and Marcel Reece scored on an 11-yard run to help Oakland bounce back from last week’s late loss in Indianapolis. Sebastian Janikowski added four field goals. Playing the depleted Jaguars offense sure helped the cause. Jacksonville (0-2) came within 2:53 of becoming the first team since the 2006 Raiders and Buccaneers to fail to score a touchdown in the first two games.

Chiefs 17, Cowboys 16 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex Smith threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns, and the Kansas City Chiefs defense held when it needed to in the fourth quarter for a 17-16 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Jamaal Charles ran for 55 yards and caught a touchdown pass for the Chiefs, who made new coach Andy Reid a winner in his home debut. The Chiefs also matched their victory total from all of last season by starting 2-0 for just the second time since 2005. Dwayne Bowe’s touchdown catch in the third quarter and Ryan Succop’s 40yard field goal early in the fourth gave the Chiefs a 17-13 lead. The Cowboys (1-1) answered with a deep march into Kansas City territory but had to settle for Dan Bailey’s 53-yard field goal with 3:55 left. The Chiefs offense never gave the Cowboys a chance to mount a winning drive.

Packers 38, Redskins 20 GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers threw for a career-high 480 yards and four touchdowns and the Green Bay Packers used a big first half against the Washington Redskins to win their home opener 38-20.

On Sunday, they charged back from an eight-point, fourth-quarter deficit against the Titans (1-1). Arian Foster’s 1-yard touchdown and 2-point conversion tied it at 24-24 with less than two minutes left.

Denver wins Manning Bowl Tide should get Peyton beats time to relax Eli again as Broncos 41, Giants 23

Denver N.Y. Giants

Broncos rout Giants 41-23 Associated Press EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Peyton Manning again beat younger brother E l i , throwing t w o touchd o w n passes in leading the DenPeyton ver BronManning cos past the New York Giants 41-23 on Sunday. The older Manning is 3-0 in the NFL against his sibling, with the other two victories coming when Peyton was with the Colts. He got this win with a huge boost from Knowshon Moreno, who rushed for two touchdowns and 93 yards. Denver (2-0), which has won 13 straight regular-season games, rushed for 109 yards altogether. Peyton Manning didn’t need to match his recordtying seven touchdown passes from the Broncos’ season-opening victory. Not with the Giants (0-2) being charitable again with three more turnovers after they had six in last’s week loss. They also allowed Trindon Holliday’s spectacular 81-yard punt return for a touchdown, the first such score in the league this season.

Anderson claims 7th FUPS win SEAN ARNOLD Correspondent Wayne Anderson picked up his seventh Florida United Promoters Late Model Series win with a late comeback against topqualifier Daniel Webster in the Hoosier 100 at the Citrus County Speedway on Saturday. Points leaders Kory Abbott (FUPS Legends) and Chris Allen (Modified Mini Stocks) also scored feature wins, while Brooksville’s Tim Wilson landed his third feature victory in a combative and thrilling Street Stock event. Pure Stock winner Karlin Ray was disqualified after tech inspection, leaving Inverness’ Jason Waller with his second consecutive feature win. Brooksville’s Pnut Higginbotham closed out the night with a wire-to-wire triumph — his second win of the season — in Figure 8s. Wildwood’s Anderson led very early, but fell behind Webster on lap 13 after the two ran side-by-side for a couple of laps following an early restart. Webster, who chose the inside lane on the double-car row restarts, regained his advantage after each of six cautions, until Anderson secured the front on lap 87, on the heels of the race’s eighth restart. Anderson’s son, Randy Anderson, notched third place and Inverness’ Herb Neumann Jr. finished ninth. “I guess something happened to 33 (Webster),” Wayne Anderson said afterward. “I let him bounce off of me two or three times down there, so I’ll go ahead and take the win and be happy about it. I’m tickled to death. I’m very fortunate and I’m thankful for everyone who helps me. I’m glad to see the track’s doing well with the new promoter (Gary Laplant).” Webster’s front right tire was losing pressure down the stretch, which caused his sway bar to drag and shoot sparks. Webster (two wins) is the only other driver besides Anderson to prevail in a FUPS Late Model race this season. “There was a little pinhole in it,” the Brooksville

driver said of the tire. “Its operating temp should be about 30, and it had 14 pounds in it when we checked. Before that, I don’t think anyone had a shot at (the car). It was phenomenal.” After a series of early shakeups at the front in the night’s other dramatic event — resulting in four lead changes in the opening four laps of the Street Stock feature — points leader Curtis Flanagan (eight feature wins) mounted a lead by lap 5, with Brooksville’s J.D. Goff and Floral City’s Wilson in tow. Wilson got by Goff on lap 8, and by lap 14 he was threatening Flanagan. Flanagan’s black No. 3 appeared to get loose heading into the second turn of lap 18, but the veteran Inverness driver regrouped to temporarily hold off Wilson’s No. 8. On lap 20, Wilson found his way past Flanagan on the fourth turn, moments before the first yellow appeared. The pair continued to battle hard after the restart, riding side-by-side and brushing one another, before Wilson reclaimed the lead on 22 and Goff nudged past Flanagan for a second-place finish. “Third (place) ain’t bad,” Flanagan said. “Those guys did a great job.” Wilson grew up watching Flanagan compete in Street Stocks and has a lot of admiration for his dueling partner from Saturday. “He’s one of the best I’ve ever seen at getting through the traffic,” Wilson said of Flanagan. “He’s been the man to beat for years. You see how many win stickers the guy’s got? He’ll have to get a new windshield before long. “After I passed him and we had the caution, he was pushing me because I couldn’t get out of my own way. I was just trying to hold on and squeeze it out.” For Goff, it was racing at its best. “That’s what racing’s about, running side-byside,” he said. “A little bit of rubbing ain’t gonna hurt nobody. It was a tight race and I’m glad for Timmy (Wilson).”

Now that Alabama has survived its latest meeting with Johnny Manziel, and for coach Nick Saban's sake it will be the last time he'll ever have to worry about Johnny Football, the Crimson Tide are set to settle into an accommodating slice of schedule as the No. 1 team in the country. The Tide remained top ranked in The Associated Press college football poll Sunday after a wild 49-42 victory against Texas A&M in College Station, Texas. Alabama received all but one of the 60 first-place votes from the media panel and the rest of the top five was unchanged this week, with Oregon, Clemson, Ohio State and Stanford. Texas A&M slipped four spots to No. 10. The Tide return home to play former offensive coordinator Jim McElwain and his Colorado State team on Saturday in the first of six games in six weeks — five at home — in which Alabama will be a heavy favorite. After dealing with the Rams (1-2) from the Mountain West, No. 21 Mississippi comes to Tuscaloosa to face the Tide. After that for the Tide, it's Georgia State, a road trip to Kentucky and home games against Tennessee and Arkansas. Then the Tide gets a week off before No. 6 LSU comes to Tuscaloosa.

Indians 7, White Sox 1

ARLINGTON, Texas — Josh Donaldson, Chris Young and Josh Reddick all homered and the AL West-leading Oakland Athletics completed a threegame sweep of the chasing and slumping Texas Rangers with a 5-1 win. Oakland took a commanding 6 1/2game division lead with two weeks left after the final regular-season series between the AL West’s top two teams. The A’s have won five in a row and 13 of 16 overall. Texas is 2-11 in September after beginning the month with a two-game division lead. The Rangers lost their sixth in row, all at home — this was their first winless homestand of at least six games since moving to Texas in 1972.

CHICAGO — Nick Swisher homered from both sides of the plate for the 13th time, Asdrubal Cabrera hit a three-run homer and the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago White Sox 7-1 to pull within a half-game of Tampa Bay and Texas in the AL wild-card race. In a game that started after a rain delay of 4 hours, 28 minutes, the Indians achieved a franchise first by sweeping a four-game series from the White Sox for the third time in a season. Zach McAllister (8-9) allowed one run and six hits in 6 2/3 innings with five strikeouts and a walk.

Tigers 3, Royals 2 DETROIT — Alex Avila homered twice, including a tiebreaking solo shot in the eighth inning that lifted the Detroit Tigers over the Kansas City Royals 3-2. Detroit’s Max Scherzer struck out 12 in seven innings, but he was denied his 20th victory when Kansas City tied it off Drew Smyly (6-0) in the eighth. Avila answered in the bottom half with a homer to right-center. Joaquin Benoit pitched the ninth for his 20th save in 20 chances for the AL Central-leading Tigers. Jeremy Guthrie (14-11) pitched all eight innings for the Royals, who began the day 3 1/2 games back in the AL wild-card race.

Angels 2, Astros 1 HOUSTON — Jerome Williams won a third straight start for the first time since April 2004, and the Los Angeles Angels beat Houston 2-1 to send the Astros to their 98th loss of the season. Houston, a big league-worst 51-98, is on the verge of becoming the first major league team to reach triple figures in losses in three consecutive sea-

tionals’ starting lineup had at least one hit. Washington, which began the day 5 1/2 games behind Cincinnati for the NL’s second wild-card berth, has won eight of nine and 25 of 35. Zimmerman (18-8) scattered seven hits and single runs in the second and third innings with seven strikeouts.

Pirates 3, Cubs 2 PITTSBURGH — Francisco Liriano took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning before faltering in his first no-decision this season, and pinch-hitter Justin Morneau singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Chicago Cubs 3-2. Pittsburgh, which began the day tied with St. Louis for the NL Central lead, took three of four from the last-place Cubs and won for the sixth time in seven games. Morneau, acquired from Minnesota on Aug. 31, drove in his first run for the Pirates. The 2006 AL MVP is batting .279 (12 for 43) with Pittsburgh.

Brewers 6, Reds 5 MILWAUKEE — Sean Halton hit a solo homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-5 comeback victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Halton’s home run came off reliever Zach Duke (1-2), the fifth Cincinnati pitcher. Jim Henderson (4-5) pitched a scoreless inning in relief to pick up the win.

Diamondbacks 8, Rockies 2 PHOENIX — Paul Goldschmidt homered and went 4 for 4, driving in five runs to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks past the Colorado Rockies 8-2. Goldschmidt had an RBI single in the first inning, hit a two-run homer in the third and added a two-run double in the fourth, all against Jhoulys Chacin (13-9). Randall Delgado (5-6) allowed two runs and five hits in six innings for the Diamondbacks.

C.J. RISAK Correspondent Surprises are prevalent in volleyball thus far this season, and there is none bigger than Citrus. Face it: At this point, when naming the one team undefeated against Citrus County rivals, who would have picked Citrus? And yet, here are the Hurricanes, who have beaten both Lecanto and Seven Rivers Christian, two teams they had not defeated in at least five years. One reason for their success: experience. Kelly and Amy Abramowich, Kendra Kirby, Shenelle Toxen, Melanie Dodd and Jordan Josey were all part of last season’s squad. Of course, that team did not win a match in 6A-6, so the experience wasn’t a good one. Still, it’s apparent the overall blend of these players and the rest of the Hurricanes is a good one. In both county wins, they faced adversity and survived. The setting of Kelly Abramowich, the hitting of Kirby, Toxen, Josey and Amy Abramowich, and the defense of Dodd has propelled Citrus, but it’s the team’s overall scrambling that has allowed it to outlast most of its opponents in winning five of its first seven matches. How far can the ’Canes go? Remember, they’re in a new district with Lecanto, Dunnellon and Crystal River. Initial prospects are good for Citrus: None of those teams are dominant. Seeing the ’Canes advance to the regionals would not be surprising, but they still must connect on kill opportunities consistently. If they put those down regularly, they will be a force.

ter is averaging 24 assists and nine digs per match. Like Citrus, Crystal River must become an even more consistent power on kill opportunities to emerge. One part of that formula is already in place with Phillips. It’s easy to say the power provided by front-row kill artists Alexis Zachar and Alyssa Gage is the reason for Seven Rivers Christian’s 8-3 record. But there’s more to this team. Like Kim Iwaniec. The junior setter has emerged as a force at the service line, collecting a team-best 38 aces, or 3.5 per match. She also leads the Warriors in assists with 86 and is second in digs with 31. Seven Rivers has won three of its four matches against county foes, losing only to Citrus, a team it will meet again tonight at Citrus.

and clinch the second major title of her career. Pettersen had a 3-under 68 to finish with a 10-under total of 203 after the tournament was reduced to three rounds when Thursday’s play was rained out. The 16year-old Ko, who was trying to become the youngest major champion, finished with a 70. The 32-year-old Pettersen overcame the blustery conditions to secure her first major since the LPGA Championship in 2007. Top-ranked Inbee Park was looking to become the first golfer to win four majors in a year, but finished out of contention.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Jim Furyk will have to wait one more day to try to end three years without a victory on the PGA Tour. The final round of the BMW Championship was suspended Sunday because of rain that left too much water on Conway Farms. Furyk had a one-shot lead over Steve Stricker. He was about three hours from even teeing off when play was stopped for the first time by rain for 3 1/2 hours. It resumed for an hour before more showers led to another stoppage in play. Luiten wins KLM Open in Furyk was among 22 players who had playoff with Jimenez yet to tee off. That included Tiger Woods, who was four shots behind. ZANDVOORT, Netherlands — Joost Only six players completed their rounds. Luiten beat Miguel Angel Jimenez on the Rory McIlroy had a 68 and was able to get first playoff hole Sunday to win the KLM an early start on his four-week break. Open for his second European Tour title Norway’s Pettersen wins of the year. Luiten became the first Dutch winner Evian Championship of his country’s national open since EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — Suzann Maarten Lafeber in 2003. He’s the first Pettersen of Norway beat teenage star Dutchman to win twice in a season on Lydia Ko of New Zealand by two shots to the European Tour. win the Evian Championship on Sunday —From wire reports

She’s also serving better. Yet, when it comes right down to it, Kelly knows what her priority is. “I think I’ve improved on being a smart setter,” she explained. “Knowing who’s on and where they want the ball.

say there was no doubt among our team.” The Bucs played resilient defense to stay in the game, but in the end weren’t able to generate enough offense. Tampa Bay was penalized 13 times for 102 yards during a season-opening 18-17 loss to the New York Jets, including three costly personal fouls — the last of which set up the Jets’ gamewinning field goal in the closing seconds. They had three more penalties for hard hits in the second quarter Sunday. Defensive end Adrian Clayborn was assessed an unnecessary roughness penalty for a hard hit on Brees, safety

“But it all starts with our passing, and we have really good passers.” Still, if there’s a lesson to be remembered from her team’s past struggles, it’s to take nothing for granted. It’s a resolve Kelly has embraced. “I’m going to have to keep improving, keep working hard,” she said. If the Hurricanes sustain an attitude like that, it could carry them a long way.

Dashon Goldson was flagged for a blow to the head on Sproles two plays later, and safety Ahmad Black later was called for what appeared to be a helmet-to-helmet hit on Graham on an incompletion down the middle off the field. The game was stopped with 10:30 remaining in the first quarter. When play resumed, Brees’ first pass was intercepted by Watson at the Saints 35 to set up Josh Freeman’s 5-yard TD pass to Kevin Ogletree to put the Bucs up 7-3. Freeman completed nine of 22 passes for 125 yards. Doug Martin rushed for 144 yards on 29 carries for Tampa Bay. The Bucs say they are disappointed, though far from discouraged, to be 0-2. “This team is a resilient team,” coach Greg Schiano said. “The head coach is a resilient guy.”

PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Andrew Carnegie said, “The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.” That certainly swims against modern thinking that recommends diversifying. At the bridge table, sometimes you have to decide between two strains. If your choice is between a suit and no-trump, why might you pick one over the other? Having a trump suit gives you more control. But if it breaks badly, there might be no way to recover. In no-trump you may have an alternative source of tricks that will allow you to get home. In today’s deal, South went for six no-trump, not for fear of a bad spade split, but to protect his club holding from an attack by East’s opening lead. Obviously, South did not know that his partner had the queen. How should South play in six no-trump? West leads the club 10. East wins with his ace and returns a club. Here, if South had put his partner into six spades and East had led the club ace, North would have had to guess the trump suit correctly. In six no-trump, declarer, after losing the first trick, had 10 top tricks. His first thought was to try to run the spades. And the percentage play was to cash his king, then to play low to dummy’s ace. Here, luck was out. What now? South had to take four diamond tricks. So he called for dummy’s 10. If East had played low, it would have been easy. But East covered. South won with his ace, led a heart to dummy’s queen and played a diamond to his eight. The second egg did not crack, so the slam was made. THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME by David L. Hoyt and Jeff Knurek

Dear Pool Owner: Is it possible that the folks who visit your complex believe your pool is common space, available to all? Please don’t suffer in silence. Lock the pool gates when you aren’t home. Post a sign informing people that it’s a private pool and requires an invitation. Most importantly, be willing to tell the intruders that you’d appreciate it if they would phone first. It is not rude to make your boundaries known. Dear Annie: As a boutique owner, I would like to respond to “Toledo,” who complained that sales associates accost her in every aisle and follow her around. Please leave your kitchen sink-sized handbag at home or in your car trunk. When you come into my store carrying shopping bags, big coats and enormous purses, you are a security risk. My best defense is to have my associates tail you to make sure you are not stealing. It would save us both a lot of aggravation if you would be so courteous as to come in with a small, closed handbag. — Shrinkage Control

Attention Consumers! Please make sure you are using a licensed and insured service professional. Many service advertisers are required by state law to include their state license number in all advertisements. If you don’t see a license number in the ad, you should inquire about it and be suspicious that you may be contacting an unlicensed business. The Citrus County Chronicle wants to ensure that our ads meet the requirements of the law. Beware of any service advertiser that can not provide proof that they are licensed to do business.
