Puzzle coming together South Tamiami Trail businesses undergoing transformation By GARY ROBERTS Staff Writer PUNTA GORDA — After years of dormancy, the south Tamiami Trail commercial corridor is undergoing a major transformation. Destination Powersports, which

just spent $2.1 million for the long-idle Buick GMC dealership, is moving a few blocks north from its current business. The Yamaha and Kawasaki store plans to open the doors at its new location at 1110 S. Tamiami Trail in December.

In the meantime, next to the former Buick GMC dealership, two other businesses and a vacant piece of land are also expected to have new owners in the coming weeks. If this can be viewed as a high-stakes game of musical chairs, Chuck

By STEVE REILLY Staff Writer MURDOCK — Organizers of the first Charlotte Harbor Super Boat Grand Prix, scheduled for April in Englewood, believe they have the answers to help quell concerns of Charlotte County commissioners. “The (Charlotte Harbor Super Boat Grand Prix) committee, I believe, has addressed all the recent county commissioners’ concerns,” said Jerry York, president of the organizational group. York will make a presentation to county commissioners today. The plan is to stage the first Charlotte Harbor Super Boat Grand Prix, which will bring festivities and high-speed power boats to Charlotte County, from April 11 to April 13. The course will stretch

from Stump Pass to Englewood Beach. Two weeks ago, a representative from the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office raised concerns about the public Englewood Beach and Stump Pass State Park having the capacity to handle a crowd of 20,000 or larger. That question organizers believe is addressed. According to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security “critical crowd density” analysis, individuals at special events need at least 4.95 square feet to enjoy a special event comfortably. Less space than that, then mobility can become increasingly difficult and uncomfortable for individuals. According to a county staff analysis, the 200,000-square-foot Englewood Beach and 250,000-square-foot Stump Pass State Park beach provide enough space for

Charlotte County Public Schools on Monday named Dee Lynn Bennett as interim principal at Charlotte High School. She replaces Richard Shafer, who school officials said left his post last week for personal reasons. Bennett previously worked at Charlotte High School for about 10 years, starting in 2003 as a dean. From July 2005 to June 2013, she served in assistant principal

roles as a building committee facilitator involved in rebuilding after Hurricane Charley, as an administrator of the freshman academy, and as the facilitator for curriculum. In June, she became the assistant director at Charlotte Technical Center, but the district “borrowed her back,” Superintendent Doug Whittaker said. According to Whittaker, the district asked Bennett to be the interim because “she could come in already running with her feet on

large crowds. Even taking into account high tides when the two beaches shrink from 450,000 square feet to 382,550 square feet, a crowd of 30,000 allows 12.75 feet of space per individual. York said that analysis does not take into account the reality of boat races. From his experience at other power boat races, he said not all the spectators are on the beach at one time. Others will view the race from the top floors of condominiums and other rentals on Manasota Key, he said. The presentation will also provide detailed organizational timelines, parking and transportation plans to the event. York has said the Englewood boat race will be a “no parking” event and organizers have secured parking areas throughout the Englewood area. Email: [email protected]

The maintenance schedule calls for mowing to be done 17 to 22 times per year, depending on the season, said county Public Works Director Holbach. However, the contractor handling the specialty mowing hasn’t been able to keep up with the work either because of personnel issues or broken equipment, Holbach said. At best, the grass is being mowed once a month, and the rain hasn’t helped.

RAINS FROM PAGE 1 “It’s just been literally the perfect storm,” Holbach said. “The continuous rains we’ve been getting on a daily basis have just really overwhelmed our contractor and his ability to go out and maintain the schedule.” Commissioners will vote to reassign the contract today at their regular agenda meeting beginning at 9 a.m. at the County Administration Building, 18500 Murdock Circle. In the 1990s, the county moved to privatize the majority of its mowing services after an analysis showed that outsourcing the work could save the county money by significantly reducing the amount

of mowing equipment in its fleet and cutting the number of public works employees, said Holbach. During the recession, the county cut back further on landscape maintenance which, Holbach noted, resulted in “generally unkempt plant beds and overgrown sidewalks and curbing.” Not only has the rain made it hard to keep up with the speedy growth, it’s also saturated the ground, making it difficult for heavy machines to get through. Randy Dacko, owner of Florida’s Landscape Specialist in Port Charlotte, said the rain has made it challenging for many landscape professionals who have to work around wet weather to take care of customers. Dacko, who’s been in

CERT FROM PAGE 1 the CERT — Corrections Emergency Response Team — open the door and rush the “inmate” like a battering ram, slamming him against the wall with an impact so hard, the observing members of the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office’s Citizen’s Police Academy wince. The lead member of the team presses the “inmate” — a fellow CERT member role-playing for this exercise — against the concrete-block cell wall with his shield while the other four members move out behind the lead so quickly, you don’t even realize they have until each one has taken a limb and is restraining it. Despite the inmate’s

the landscape business since 1978, these days does mostly tree plantings, which require lots of watering when first installed. Normally, August and September are his slowest months, but customers are taking advantage of the rain to cut their water bills. “The rain is sort of a blessing but then again when the ground is so saturated, it doesn’t help,” Dacko said. There was a time when landscapers could predict the typical summer afternoon shower, Dacko said. This year, the weather “is totally whacked.” He spends much of his time now chasing dry ground. “If it’s raining in Punta Gorda, I run to Port Charlotte, and vice versa,” he said. “It’s wreaking havoc and you can’t stay ahead of it.” Email: [email protected]

arms being stretched out at chest height and the wrist bent in to activate the “pressure point,” he’s still struggling. The team is taking him out of the cell. Onto the floor — in this case, mat — he goes. The team moves quickly, four of them wrapping each limb in a leg lock. The CERT team and the “inmate” now look like a combination of a wrestling match and a spider. All communication between the members is nonverbal — kind of a more subtle version of a catcher and a pitcher. “Wow,” says one of the academy members of the scenario. In short order, the team will have the “inmate” restrained, cuffed and patted down for weapons before four of them — two on each side, one at each arm, one on each leg — lift the

“inmate” like a giant duffel bag. The fifth member guards his head as the team leads him out of the room, feet first. Or, at least they would have carried the “inmate” out. In this case, the volunteer “inmate” is stood up and the restraints taken off. “The restraints don’t cut off circulation,” says Sgt. Ryan Barber, CERT leader. “They don’t hinder the ability to breathe or talk. They’re just uncomfortable.” CERT is a 14-member team that responds to emergencies in prison, such as a riot. There are two sniper members and two assault rifle members. Everyone can operate the “less-lethal operator” rifle that has been modified to either disperse a bean bag with BB pellets or another light-field round

— children of the 1980s will recognize it as a plastic koosh ball, made of soft, rubber strings surrounding a rubber core. “We prefer that one,” Barber says of the koosh. “With the bean bag, you have to be a lot further away.” The Charlotte County Jail has more than 900 beds — currently, more than 700 are filled, according to Captain Earl Goodwyne, assistant commander of jail operations. If there’s an emergency, it is CERT that gets called. Fortunately, its services are rarely needed. “We had four extractions last year,” Barber said of inmates who had to be removed from their cells. “Usually when they see the team at the door …” The Citizen’s Police

Academy was started in 1999 as a way to better educate the public about police policy and procedures. The eight-week course includes overviews of homicide, use of force, SWAT, internal affairs, forensics and recruiting. Though there is plenty of “class time,” there are also many demonstrations and tours, including one of the Charlotte Correctional Institution in Punta Gorda. Attendees also have the option of riding along with a deputy on a 12-hour shift. There is an application process and a background check for those who want to attend the academy. For more information, call 941639-2101 or visit http:// ccso.org/PublicInterest/ citizenspoliceacademy. cfm.

All of which promises that a new day will soon dawn on the east side of Tamiami Trail. “Twelve months from now, that whole corridor will look a lot

different and be completely modernized,” he said. Meanwhile, another major player in this changing commercial landscape is Palm Auto Mall, one of the largest private employers in Charlotte County. Palm currently leases space to Destination Powersports at 1732 Steadley Ave. When the Yamaha-Kawasaki dealer moves out by the end of the year, Harbor Towing, a subsidiary of Palm Auto Mall, will move in, said Jody Lombardo of Palm Auto Mall. Palm was the first to bring a Yamaha-

Kawasaki franchise to Charlotte County on property it owns across from its headquarters at 1801 South Tamiami, Lombardo said. In 2005, Palm leased the property to Florida Power Sports but the franchise went out of business in 2009, leading to Destination Powersports taking over the space. Now Destination Powersports is on the move to the former Buick GMC dealership, where Palm Auto Mall bought the Buick GMC franchise, also in 2009. However, the site remained vacant ever since.

“Redevelopment is always good. It creates more traffic for everyone,” Lombardo said. “It’s headed in the right direction.” And soon, Destination Powersports will be taking occupancy in the biggest piece of the evolving puzzle, the 2.5-acre site at 1110 S. Tamiami Trail. “It feels like Christmas,” said Bill Shenk, owner of Destination Powersports, which sells motorcycles, ATVs and watercraft. “It’s going to be a great place for toys.”

Performers get their acts together By IAN ROSS

IF YOU GO

Staff Writer PUNTA GORDA — For veterans of Charlotte High School’s performing arts department like junior Brielle Collands, Side by Side, an annual event at the school, is something to look forward to. Side by Side is “cool,” said Collands, “because it’s the first time we get to see our friends doing their performances.” The event, which is scheduled to take place at 7 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Charlotte Performing Arts Center, is a medley of acts, including a one-act play from the drama department; performances by the choir and Charisma, the vocal ensemble; music from the school jazz band; and individual and small-group performances such as theatrical scenes, song, dance — even pantomime. The show serves a dual purpose for the school, both raising funds for the drama department’s yearly musical

What: Side By Side When: Oct. 4, 7 p.m. Where: Charlotte Performing Arts Center, 701 Carmalita St., Punta Gorda How much does it cost: $10, includes admission, one dessert, one beverage; children under 5, free admission Buy tickets: Call 941-505-7469 or go to www.thecpac.net — “Shrek,” this year — and to give students a chance to showcase acts they will perform in the upcoming district theater competition. “One reason we do Side by Side is to raise money for the musical,” explained Sara Hart, president of the drama troupe. The other reason, she said, is to “get the nerves out before people go to compete. It’s a way to get used to performing, because the more you do it, the better you feel about it.” More than 200 students will be onstage on the night of the performance. Because there are many individual acts, students are responsible for most of their preparation. Collands said that “it’s mostly the students

Snook anglers’ help sought After a protective closure of more than three years, snook season on Florida’s Gulf coast opened Sept. 1. To help monitor the health of Charlotte Harbor’s snook population, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission needs the carcasses of as many harvested snook as possible. If you harvest a legal-sized snook, you can have the fish for dinner and still help with the research project by donating the filleted-out carcass. As part of an ongoing study involving Charlotte Harbor snook, FWC biologists will record the length of the fish, examine the internal organs to establish the sex of the fish, then remove and examine an ear bone called an otolith to determine the age of the fish. Anglers are asked to not harvest snook just for this project, as the FWC would prefer that catch-and-release be practiced as much as possible. However, if you do take a fish home for supper, then the carcass is valuable to the research project. You can remove the skin and meat, but leave the internal organs intact and do not break the backbone. A drop-off station for snook carcasses has been established with King Fisher Fleet at Fishermen’s Village Marina in Punta Gorda, where the carcasses may be taken between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., seven days per week.

that put (the show) on. Drama teacher Cheryl Waal “coordinates it, but the students put (their acts) together.” The preparation is doubly complicated because of the absence of a teacher who had previously been a big presence in the performing arts scene at Charlotte High. Jaci Cushman, music teacher at the school, has been unable to work since she fell off a ladder in August, fracturing her right wrist, the fingers in her left hand and two ribs. Sara Hart, president of the drama troupe and a member of Charisma, said Cushman’s absence has been felt in the preparation process. “It’s really hectic,” she said, “especially because of Mrs. Cushman being gone, but there’s been a

lot of help to put it on.” To make matters even more complicated, Cushman suffered injuries shortly after the news that Charisma was invited to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York, and would need to raise money for the trip. To help, the drama department is splitting the proceeds of this year’s event — which is normally exclusively for the school’s annual musical — with Charisma. Throughout the ups and downs, students have generally remained upbeat and confident, and are looking forward to their first performance of the year. Sophomore Bealah Roger, a self-professed “performing arts junkie,” is singing with Charisma and preparing two monologues for adjudication in the district theater competition. She said that while the first performance can be scary for some, she’s excited because “I get to showcase Charlotte High School. … I’m very proud of my school.”

Sheriff’s Office investigating parking lot shooting CHARLOTTE HARBOR — The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that took place early Saturday in the School House Square parking lot on Kings Highway in Charlotte Harbor. A 23-year-old man was shot in the leg and was dropped off around 2:30 a.m. at Fawcett Memorial Hospital in Port Charlotte. Deputies questioned the man, but he was uncooperative. An employee at Porky’s Roadhouse in the shopping center said there were no altercations at the bar that night, according to authorities. The CCSO’s Major Crimes Unit is investigating the incident. Anyone with information can call the Sheriff’s Office at 941-639-2101 or Crime Stoppers at 800-780-8477.

Report: Men hid drugs in wall ENGLEWOOD — Two men were arrested Friday after authorities found marijuana hidden behind drywall and insulation in the garage of an eastern Englewood home, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office. Various drugs and drug paraphernalia were found during the warranted search of the residence on the 7400 block of Mill Terrace. Christopher John Ricci, 45, of the address, and Dennis Ryan Lovelace, of the 10100 block of Topsail Avenue in Englewood, were taken into custody shortly after 6 a.m. Ricci was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, three counts of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia. Lovelace was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and withholding information from a medical practitioner. Authorities said the garage appeared to have been used as a “grow room,” and they found five bags of marijuana hidden in the wall. More marijuana and smoking devices were found in the living room, the report shows, and Clonazapam — a prescription drug used to treat seizures, panic disorder and anxiety — was found in the bathroom and was prescribed to Ricci’s dog. In addition, several forms of Adderall — a prescription drug used to treat ADHD — were found in Lovelace’s vehicle, according to the report. Ricci was released Friday from the Charlotte County Jail after posting $11,000 bond, and Lovelace was still being held Monday on $4,500 bond.

Report: Alleged ID thief had multiple victims PUNTA GORDA — After an Englewood man was arrested Thursday for allegedly using another person’s debit card twice in the Port Charlotte area, he was later charged in connection with a similar crime, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office.

By ADAM KREGER Staff Writer PUNTA GORDA — William Borden has been in and out of the Charlotte County Jail a handful of times since 2011. He admits that drinking alcohol in the past got him into trouble, and he said he had been drinking prior to a domestic dispute involving his fiancée on Aug. 22 — the cause of his most recent confinement. Borden, 45, of Englewood, was arrested on charges related to the incident and remains jailed. He called it “a miracle.” Just two days after being booked, Borden became involved in the Charlotte County Faith Based Program offered at the jail. “I started sharing and realizing the number one issue in my life was a lack of faith and spirituality,” he said. “I started praying and talking with the other people in the group and opening up. As a result, I have a whole new hope today and the willingness to start something different.” Borden was among nine inmates recognized Monday at the county jail on Airport Road in Punta Gorda for their involvement in the eight-week program. Others included William Van Dornick, 51, of Port Charlotte; Michael McCord, 48, of Punta Gorda; and Mark Bermudez, 26, of Englewood. The others declined to be interviewed. Participants were congratulated by their mentors, received certificates from Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummell and had cake. A total of 29 inmates have graduated from the program, which began last year. Inmates who became incarcerated in the middle of the session received

OUR POSITION: A new law is prompting re-examination of public comment rules at local meetings. Right now, no complaints.

i i

T

he ability of citizens to speak their minds at public meetings is something we tend to take for granted. But until this year public comment was not explicitly guaranteed in the state’s Constitution and Sunshine Law. It was a loophole, recognized by appellate courts and corrected by bills introduced by Sen. Joe Negron, R-Palm City, and Rep. Ray Rodrigues, R-Fort Myers. The new law, overwhelmingly approved by the Legislature last spring and signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott, will go into effect Oct. 1. The key provision of the law is the requirement that commissions and boards give members of the public “a reasonable opportunity” to speak before “any official action on a proposition.” (This doesn’t mean immediately before any action, only “within reasonable proximity before the meeting” when the vote takes place.) The new law provides exceptions. It requires that public boards establish rules or policies for public comment. Boards can impose time limits. The law also establishes a clear right of citizens to challenge board actions in court, for the court to issue injunctions and for boards to pay attorneys’ fees if violations are found. The new law does plug a legal gap, but from our observation we don’t see that it will have a big impact on local governments in Southwest Florida. The rules and practices already seem open and appropriate. We’d be first in line to object if we thought they weren’t. Nevertheless, it does seem a healthy exercise to re-examine the rules and make sure steps will be taken to apply the standards equally. Right now, the Charlotte County Commission holds “open to the public” sessions at the beginning and end of its meetings. (Public hearings always have time for public comment, too.) Individuals are limited to three minutes, which seems sufficient. The chairman notifies a someone when time is running short, then asks them to wrap it up as soon as possible. The Sarasota County Commission also has time for three-minute-maximum comments at the beginnings of its meetings each morning and after the lunchtime break. Public hearings allow for five minutes of comment by an individual. Cities grant additional opportunities for public comment. Punta Gorda sets aside time for comments at the beginning and end of meetings, and also for individual agenda items. North Port does too. Both cities allow each speaker three minutes. Again, that seems appropriate for city governments, which typically have smaller agendas. From what we see, local governments already are doing a good job guaranteeing access and what is now a clear right to speak. Public participation is a necessary component of local government. The right to have your say makes local government stronger. It gets taxpayer-citizens involved with their government. Occasionally, public comment time may seem to drag on interminably — the “regulars” often dominate. But we’d rather see too much than too little.

Editor: Relating to ethics complaints filed by two citizens against Commissioner Tricia Duffy, the Sun “encourages” Duffy to seek legal recourse, followed by the statement, “The state’s ethics laws should not be a cudgel used to punish officials … simply because a complainant disagrees with a policy decision.” Other than Duffy’s own claim quoted by the Sun that such complaints by two private citizens are intended to “intimidate,” what is the basis for the Sun’s implied accusation? I do know that one of them, David Kesselring, is in fact opposed to the Parkside policy. Over the past few months, he joined me in submitting three emails to Commissioner Duffy expressing such opposition, and proposing a means by which there could be a more effective public discussion regarding that policy. (There wasn’t any suggestion of personal wrongdoing by Duffy or by any of the commissioners in them.) Nonetheless, she didn’t respond to any. That’s too bad, for it may have helped alleviate some of the suspicion that projects like Parkside frequently arouse. I don’t know whether David’s complaints are valid or not. But, frankly, it wouldn’t surprise me if they weren’t. While we fully agree on Parkside on other points, I believe he can be entirely unreasonable — but then, he’d probably say the same about me. In any case, until the Sun’s editorial, I was unaware that ethics complaints can be filed only by persons who don’t oppose the policies of the official charged, and whose complaints will be proven to be correct.

Ethics complaint

not about retribution Editor: I am a concerned Charlotte County resident of Parkside, taxpayer, and small business owner. I have lived in Charlotte County for 21 years and in Parkside for over 10 years. My response to the

q

recent front page article, “Duffy faces ethics charges,” is due to the fact that I was included, but never contacted by the Sun. I can understand how your reporter might miss a few things, with all the shenanigans going on at our Charlotte County administration building. Your reporter not contacting all of the principles mentioned in the article for comment, is not a thorough job of reporting, which your readers expect. The complaint I filed with the Florida Commission on Ethics has no connection to the tea party. My complaint had nothing to do with sewers. “Duffy says the complaints are frivolous and nothing more than retribution for her support of the Spring Lake sewer project.” She goes on to say, “‘This is more about intimidation than anything.’” My ethics complaint has nothing to do with intimidation and everything to do with ethical behavior and a citizen’s right to hold public officials accountable. This is the typical political rhetoric heard at commission meetings about personal attacks whenever someone strongly disagrees, and now how a simple ethics complaint is described as “retribution.” Anyone that believes the government doesn’t have the solution for everything and doesn’t agree to the continued out of control spending and growth of our government bureaucracy, is somehow out to get Commissioner Duffy. What does that say? Duffy’s attorney says, “a commissioner of a CRA is not prohibited from voting on such a measure.” In other words, commissioners can do things that would otherwise be considered unethical, as long as it is related to a CRA, which I believe to be highly unethical itself. Florida law also states that form 8B Memorandum of Voting Conflict for County, Municipal and Other Local Public Officers, must be submitted, if there is a conflict of interest. I’m not sure if the Ethics Commission will agree that this neglect would be considered unethical, but Commissioner Duffy never submitted a form 8B memorandum. “It is the hope of the CRA that all businesses and residences in the district will benefit.” This is one of the problems. Parkside is a political gamble of taxpayer’s money based only on hope and speculation and not

on facts or the idea of the general public welfare. How will all residents gain, when at least half of the $9,000,000 (other commissioners have clearly stated to me that this will be the only money given) is spent on a short span of road between U.S. 41 and Olean Blvd., and the next project will most likely be the short span of road starting at the Shell station Pick n Run and leading up to the hospitals. If you simply eye the map of the area, this can’t be more than 3 or 4 percent of the paved roadways in Parkside. This is only a very small portion of the Parkside area and a very large portion of the total amount allocated. What about the residential areas that are being used as the excuse for the CRA in the first place? Here’s an important point that was made at this week’s commissioner’s pre-agenda meeting. Commissioner Duffy asked that all Charlotte County taxpayers pay, in advance, her legal fees because she is claiming “financial hardship.” On her 2011 financial disclosure form, she lists a $197,000 home, $241, 385 in investments, $438,384 in total assets, an increase of about $92,000 from her 2007 disclosure. How, exactly is she in financial hardship? She is banking more per year than many folks in Charlotte County make in a year’s wages. We have hard-working taxpayers living in $25,000 to $35,000 homes that are paying her handsome salary and benefits, and now she wants them to pay her legal fees with those kinds of assets?

Keep Read and Feed program going Editor: We heard that the county is going to stop the summer Read and Feed Program for kids. I am a father of two kids and I saw during the summer this program really attracted many kids to the library. I am not worried about the lunch served those days but it encouraged parents and kids to come to the library, play there, take books, DVDs, and many other activities. If the program stops by the county, it will be a big loss for the families especially those who have small kids.

Editor: Excerpts, with updates, were taken from speeches by Winston Churchill following surrender of the Sudetenland within the Czechoslovakian State to Hitler. Neville Chamberlain said: “My good friends … I believe it is peace for our time. … Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.” Churchill responded: “You were given the choice between strikes and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have strikes. “It is the most grievous consequence which we have yet experienced of what we have done and of what we have left undone in the last five years — five years of eager search for the line of least resistance, five years of uninterrupted retreat of [United States] power, five years of neglect of our military. “We are being reduced from a position of safety and power … power to stop her arming if we chose, power to take any step in strength or mercy or justice which we thought right — reduced in five years from a position safe and unchallenged to where we stand now. “I do not grudge the [American] people … relief when they learned that the hard ordeal would no longer be required of them at the moment; but they should know the truth. They should know that we have sustained a defeat without a war … they should know that we have passed an awful milestone in our history, when the whole equilibrium of the Middle East has been deranged. … And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning.” Syria may well be Obama’s Czech Republic.

Why are our customers sent to other shops? Editor: It has come to my attention in the last couple of weeks, that some people have had an auto accident and have requested to have their car repaired at my auto body shop have been told by their insurance company that they have to have their car repaired at a certain auto body shop (aka pro shops or they won't guarantee the work. First of all, you have the right to have your car repaired at the shop of your choice, the insurance company cannot tell you where to take it. If it's repaired at my auto body shop and most other reputable shops, we guarantee the work for as long as you own your car. These pro shops have a monopoly on the auto body work in Charlotte County and they also have a monopoly on the towing as per Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office. We were on that tow list for years, as well as many other good companies with families to feed. All of a sudden, we are all off the list. Why? People have the right to request any tow company they want. We have been in business in Charlotte County for more than 25 years at the same address. We belong to the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce and we have a great rating with the Better Business Bureau. The customers that want to have their car repaired or towed by us should have that right without being bullied. Many of these people are seniors and veterans.

Good populism, bad populism H

ere’s the good news for Republicans: The party now has a faction committed to learning real lessons from the 2012 defeat, breaking with the right’s stale policy consensus and embracing new ideas on a range of issues, from foreign policy to middle-class taxes, the drug war to banking reform. Here’s the bad news for Republicans: The party also has a faction committed to a reckless, pointless budget brinkmanship, which creates a perpetual cycle of outrage and disillusionment among conservatives and leaves Washington lurching from one manufactured crisis to the next. Here’s the strange news for Republicans: These two factions are actually one and the same. The media tend to assume that moderation and reform are essentially synonymous. But ever since Mitt Romney lost last November, most of the genuine policy innovation on the right has

Ross Douthat

come from the party’s populist, Tea Partyaffiliated wing. The key figure has been Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, whose anti-war conservatism has kicked off a post-Iraq foreign policy debate that the party desperately needed, and whose forays into issues like sentencing reform and drug policy have raised the possibility of a national Republican Party that’s smart as well as tough on crime. But it hasn’t just been Paul turning populism into policy. This spring, Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, nobody’s idea of a moderate, became the Republican face of a financial reform effort aimed at addressing the problem of “too big to fail” banks. And then just last week, Paul’s frequent ally Mike

Lee, the junior senator from Utah, took the floor at the American Enterprise Institute to offer a tax-reform proposal that would actually help middle-class families rather than mostly cut taxes on the investor class. The Lee proposal is a particularly noteworthy breakthrough. Its centerpiece, a large expansion of the child tax credit, is an example of how social conservatism could seek to assist families instead of just lecturing them — by addressing the rising cost of child rearing, the stress wage stagnation puts on parents, and the link between family instability and socioeconomic disarray. This makes it the first major Republican tax proposal in years that actually seems tailored to contemporary challenges rather than to the economic climate of 1979. But despite the best efforts of the Lee tax plan’s admirers, the party’s populists didn’t make headlines last week on that issue. Instead, Lee and Paul

were in the news — with the ubiquitous, less innovative junior senator from Texas, Ted Cruz — because they’re part of the so-called “defund Obamacare” effort, an elaborate game of make-believe in which Republicans are supposed to pretend, for the sake of political leverage, that they’ll actually shut down the government if the president refuses to go along with the repeal of his own signature legislative achievement. (How Republicans gain leverage by threatening a shutdown they’d be blamed for has never been adequately explained.) Except that the game isn’t make-believe to the many conservative voters who have been suckered into believing that the health care law could be rolled back tomorrow if only Republicans would just stop “surrendering” and use the power of True Conservatism to bend the White House to their will. This is what makes the defund movement’s style of populism so

depressing: In addition to throwing sand into the gears of government for no clear purpose, it’s effectively deceiving precisely the voters that it claims to represent. Hence the widespread view — shared by concerned liberals, chin-stroking moderates, and many congressional Republicans, I’m sure — that Cruz and Paul and Lee and their compatriots need to be crushed for the Republican Party to become effective and responsible again. But the trouble is that if John Boehner and Mitch McConnell could somehow crush the populists (and they can’t), they would also be crushing the best hope for conservative policy reform. That’s because, for now at least, the same incentives that shape the “bad populism” of the defund movement are also shaping the “good populism” that wants to end farm subsidies or reform drug sentencing or break up banks or cut taxes on families. Their willingness to

engage in theatrical confrontations with President Barack Obama, for instance, is part of what lends figures like Paul and Lee and Vitter the credibility to experiment with ideas from outside the Reagan-era box. And their arm’slength relationship to Wall Street and K Street makes them both more irresponsible on issues like a government shutdown and more open to new ideas on taxes, financial reform, corporate welfare, etc. Obviously Republicans should be seeking a way to have the good without the bad; the innovation without the risky brinkmanship, the fresh ideas without the staged confrontations. But for now they’re stuck dealing with a populism that resembles Homer Simpson’s description of his beloved beer: It’s both the cause of, and the solution to, all of their problems.

An appreciation for honesty and trust Delivery companies cannot leave packages when the customer is not home. The company must bear the costs of making return trips, or the customer has to bear the costs of going to pick up the package. If a supermarket places merchandise outside, it must bear the costs of hiring an attendant — plus retrieve the merchandise at the close of business; that’s if it can risk having merchandise outdoors in the first place. Honesty affects stores such as supermarkets in another way. A supermarket manager’s goal is to maximize the rate of merchandise turnover per square foot of leased space. When theft is relatively low, the manager can use all of the space he leases, including outdoor and entryway space, thereby raising his profit potential. That opportunity is denied to supermarkets in localities where there’s less honesty. That in turn means a higher

cost of doing business, which translates into higher prices, less profit and fewer customer amenities. Crime, distrust and dishonesty impose huge losses that go beyond those suffered directly. Much of the cost of crime and dishonesty is borne by people who can least afford it — poor people. It’s poor people who have fewer choices and pay higher prices or must bear the transportation costs of going to suburban malls to shop. It’s poor people in high-crime

neighborhoods who are refused pizza delivery and taxi pickups. The fact that honesty and trust are so vital should make us rethink just how much tolerance we should have for criminals and dishonest people. Walter E.

employer, will pay me. People place an order with their stockbroker to purchase 100 shares of AT&T stock, and the stockbroker trusts that he’ll be paid. Companies purchase 5 tons of aluminum with payment due 30 days later. Examples of honesty and trust abound, but imagine the cost and inconvenience if we couldn’t trust anyone. We would have to lug around measuring instruments to make sure that it was in fact 10 gallons of gas and 1 pound of steak that we purchased. Imagine the hassle of having to count out the number of pills in a bottle. If we couldn’t trust, we’d have to bear the costly burden of writing contracts instead of relying on a buyer’s or a seller’s word. We’d have to bear the monitoring costs to ensure compliance in

the simplest of transactions. It’s safe to say that whatever undermines honesty and trust raises the costs of transactions, reduces the value of exchange and makes us poorer. Honesty and trust come into play in ways that few of us even contemplate. In my neighborhood, workers for FedEx, UPS and other delivery companies routinely leave packages that contain valuable merchandise on the doorstep if no one answers the door. The local supermarket leaves plants, fertilizer and other home and garden items outdoors overnight unattended. What’s more, the supermarket displays loads of merchandise at entryways and exits. In neighborhoods where there’s less honesty, deliverymen’s leaving merchandise on doorsteps and stores leaving merchandise outdoors unattended or at entryways and exits would be equivalent to economic suicide. Dishonesty is costly.

Connecticut court weighs if horses are innately vicious By STEPHEN SINGER

AssociAted Press Writer HARTFORD, Conn. — After a horse named Scuppy bit a boy in the face, a Connecticut court came to a conclusion that threw animal lovers: Horses are a naturally vicious species. Horse owners and farmers are mobilizing as the state Supreme Court hears an appeal in the case Tuesday. Such a classification — the nation’s first, if it stands — would make owning horses uninsurable and jeopardize the state’s sizable horse industry, farmers and horse owners say. “You could not pair

children and horses, the core equestrian business nationwide that it’s all about,” said Doug Dubitsky, a lawyer who represents farmers and horse businesses. When the boy tried to pet the horse at Glendale Farms in Milford in 2006, according to court papers, the animal stuck his neck out from behind a fence and bit the child on his right cheek, “removing a large chunk of it.” In February 2012, the mid-level Appellate Court overturned a lower court ruling and said that testimony by Timothy Astriab, whose family owns the farm, demonstrated that Scuppy belongs to “a species naturally inclined

to do mischief or be vicious.” Although he had no knowledge of Scuppy biting anyone before, Astriab testified that Scuppy was no different from other horses that would bite if a finger was put in front of him. “Significantly, Astriab acknowledged his concern that if someone made contact with Scuppy, whether to pet or feed him, they could get bit,” the justices said. The injury suffered by the boy was foreseeable and the owners of the farm had a duty to use reasonable care to restrain the animal

EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy says the agency won’t be able to pay employees. She says only a core group of people will remain on duty in case the EPA has to respond to a “significant emergency.” The vast majority of employees will stay home. That means that most of the EPA’s functions, like drafting regulations and enforcing laws to protect the environment, will likely remain stalled until government operations fully resume.

The automaker said the number of shares to be offered and the price range for the offering have not yet been determined. It typically takes the SEC several weeks or months to review a registration statement. Marchionne has said he expects the automaker would be able to conduct an IPO before the end of this year, but would likely wait until early next year because market conditions for stock offerings are not good during the holidays.

New signs of rising illegal immigration WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of immigrants crossing the border illegally into the U.S. appears to be on the rise again after dropping during the recession. The total number of immigrants living in this country unlawfully edged up from 11.3 million in 2009 to 11.7 million last year, with those from countries other than Mexico at an apparent all-time high, according to a report released Monday by the Pew Research Center’s Hispanic Trends Project. The change is within the margin of error, and there will be a more precise census measure released later this year. Still, based in part on other factors such as increased U.S. border apprehensions, the sharp decline in illegal immigration from 2007-2009 has clearly bottomed out, with signs the numbers are now rising, Pew said. Pew said that among the six states with the largest numbers of immigrants here illegally, only Texas had

In this June 13 file photo, U.S. Border Patrol agent Jerry Conlin looks out over Tijuana, Mexico, behind, along the old border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, where it ends at the base of a hill in San Diego. a consistent increase in illegal immigration from 2007 to 2011, due in part to its stronger economy. Its number was unchanged from 2011 to 2012. Two states — Florida and New Jersey — had an initial drop but then increases during the same 20072011 period. Three states — California, Illinois and New York — showed only declines. “As a whole, with the recession ending, the decrease in illegal immigration has stopped,” said Jeffrey Passel, a senior

demographer at Pew. Passel noted that historically the level of illegal immigration has been closely tied to the strength of the U.S. economy and availability of jobs. Since 2009, the average U.S. unemployment rate has dropped from 9.3 percent to 8.1 percent last year, with signs of strength in the construction industry, which yields jobs generally attractive to newly arrived Latino immigrants. The Pew analysis is based on census data through March 2012.

Boston bombings case focuses on death penalty (LA Times) — Federal prosecutors tangled in court Monday with defense lawyers for Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev over the government’s timeline to make a decision on whether to seek the death penalty in the case. Both Tsarnaev’s defense attorneys and the U.S. District Attorney for Boston are required to submit information to U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. about whether the government should pursue a capital case against Tsarnaev. Tsarnaev, 20, has

pleaded not guilty to numerous charges, including using a weapon of mass destruction in the twin bombings that killed three and injured 260 at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15. At Monday’s status hearing, the defense said it needed more time to submit its argument against the death penalty. It also asked for the government to turn over interviews with Tsarnaev’s family members as well as grand jury testimony, according to the Boston Herald.

Study: Fear memories can be overcome during sleep (Special to The Washington Post) — It can take only an instant for fear to take hold in the brain. A fear of snakes after being bitten by one, or feeling anxious around bodies of water after witnessing a drowning. Overcoming that fear can take a long time, but now researchers are saying it can be done in your sleep. Scientists at Northwestern University say they have successfully lowered levels of fear in humans by using certain odors to trigger

and re-associate frightening memories into harmless ones during a deep slumber. “Sleep sort of stamps memories in more strongly,” said neurologist Jay Gottfried, senior author of the study, which was scheduled to be published online Sunday by the journal Nature Neuroscience. “That’s when a lot of memory formation can take place.” The researchers first created a fear of a certain face in their subjects by using conditioning

— making them link together a certain face and smell in their minds with a painful electric shock. After some trials, the participants became afraid of the face, and the smell acted as a cue associated with that face. The researchers then used the smell to trigger fear memories during sleep as a way to acclimate patients without the stress of conscious terror. Gottfried and his colleagues have not attempted this on pre-existing fears, but

theoretically it could be done — by creating a connection between a phobia and a distinct smell. He said the first kind of patients who could be helped by this process would be those who already have a smell associated with their fear — for example, the smell of gunpowder. “From a clinical perspective, this can be a new approach to try and treat stressful or traumatic memories,” Gottfried said. He said that fear, a type of emotional memory, is

often learned at a young age from experience or even mere observation. A child who was bitten by a dog grows up afraid of dogs, but so does the child who sees his father attacked by one. “Across all species, one thing is true: The learning of a fear occurs much more quickly than the fear extinction process,” said lead researcher and neurologist Katherina Hauner. In exposure therapy, repeated exposure to the stimulus forms a new, safe memory.

also come just one day after former Gov. Charlie Crist — a likely challenger to Scott — wrote a critical opinion piece in the Tampa Bay Times about Scott’s handling of education and said he was capitulating to tea party members. “This is a nonsensical reason to reject them,” Crist wrote. “Scott needs to stand with Florida students and no one else. This is not a time for rank partisanship.” Scott initially backed Common Core standards,

which set uniform benchmarks for reading, writing and math. But in recent weeks he refused to come out strongly in favor of Florida’s transition to the new standards, which have been adopted by 45 states and the District of Columbia, as opposition has mounted among local Republican Party organizations. The standards are a result of an initiative sponsored by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers.

Opponents see them as the nationalization of education policy and standards, something they say should be left to the states. The new standards are backed by former Gov. Jeb Bush, who helped create the state’s current A-to-F grading system while in office from 1999 to 2007. It would be a huge defeat to Bush’s potential presidential campaign if his own home state suddenly changed directions on education, an area where

he is seen as a leader. Bush has championed the standards as a way of raising expectations for students who may not be ready for college or careers. The appointed board that oversees Florida’s public schools has already adopted the new standards and the state is moving ahead to implement them. Elementary schools are already using the standards and the plan is to fully implement them during the 2014-15 school year.

punish them,” Police Inspector General David Kimaiyo said on Twitter. Kenya’s Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said the evacuation of hostages had gone “very, very well” and that Kenyan officials were “very certain” that few if any hostages were left in the building. But with the mall

cordoned off and under heavy security it was not possible to independently verify the assertions. Similar claims of a quick resolution were made by Kenyan officials on Sunday and the siege continued. Authorities have also not provided any details on how many hostages were freed or how many still

remain captive. Three attackers were killed in the fighting Monday, Kenyan authorities said, and more than 10 suspects arrested. Eleven Kenyan soldiers were wounded in the running gun battles. Somalia’s al-Qaidalinked rebel group, al-Shabab, which claimed

responsibility for the attack, said the hostage-takers were well-armed and ready to take on the Kenyan forces. An al-Shabab spokesman, Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage, said in an audio file posted on a militant website that the attackers had been ordered to “take punitive action against the hostages” if force was used to try to rescue them. The attackers have lots of ammunition, the militant group said in a Twitter feed, adding that Kenya’s government would be responsible for any loss of hostages’ lives. A Western security official in Nairobi who insisted on not being named to share information about the rescue operation said the only reason the siege hadn’t yet ended would be because hostages were still inside. Westgate mall, a vast complex with multiple banks that have secure vaults and bulletproof glass partitions, as well as a casino, is difficult to take, the official said. “They are not made for storming,” he said of the labyrinth of shops, restaurants and offices. “They’re made to be unstormable.”

equine enthusiasts, who cite 2005 statistics saying that the horse industry contributes about $221 million a year to the state’s economy in boarding, training, lessons and breeding businesses, are asking the state Supreme Court to overturn the Appellate Court’s decision. The Connecticut Farm Bureau and Connecticut Horse Council filed a friend of the court

brief saying that under common law viciousness generally is judged individually according to age, breed and gender, not as an entire species. Fred Mastele, acting president of the state’s horse council, said it is encouraging horse owners to attend the hearing Tuesday and support the Astriab family. “In our opinion, horses are not vicious animals,” he said. “They

are certainly not attack animals.” Astriab had won at a lower court in 2010, when a New Haven judge sided with the horse’s owner and ruled that the child’s father, Anthony Vendrella Sr., failed to prove the owner knew of previous incidents of aggression by Scuppy. The Superior Court judge said Astriab testified that neither he nor anyone else had ever

seen Scuppy bite a person before and that in 28 years, none of the horses at the farm bit or injured anyone. “Cats have a tendency to scratch and horses have a tendency to bite, but the plaintiffs have failed to show, as they must, that the defendants were on notice that Scuppy specifically, and not horses generally, had a tendency to bite people or other horses,” Judge Robin Wilson ruled.

was outlawed for most of its 85 years in existence. After the 2011 ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, it emerged to work openly, opening a formal headquarters and forming a political party for the first time, and rose to power in a string of post-Mubarak elections. Still, its legal status remained hazy. In March, it registered as a non-governmental organization, but its entire network was not brought under the association’s aegis. “This is a totalitarian decision,” a leading Brotherhood member, Ibrahim Moneir, said in an interview with Qatari-based Al-Jazeera Mubasher Misr TV. “You are losers, and it

(the Brotherhood) will remain with God’s help, not by the orders by the judiciary of el-Sissi,” he added, referring to military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who led the overthrow of Morsi on July 3. The military removed Morsi after mass protests by millions demanding he step down, accusing him of power abuse and allowing the Brotherhood and other Islamists to monopolize rule. Since Morsi’s ouster, security forces have arrested some 2,000 of the group’s members, including many of its senior figures and a large swath of its middle ranks. Morsi,

held in secret military detention, faces trial on charges of inciting the killing of protesters during his year in office. The Brotherhood’s top leader and his deputies are also on trial, and figures are expected to be referred to courts soon, and already assets of many senior figures’ assets have been ordered frozen. Officials and sympathetic media accuse the group of fomenting a wave of violence in retaliation for the coup. The Brotherhood and its Islamist allies have continued protests demanding Morsi’s reinstatement — but the rallies have grown weaker under the heavy

crackdown. The group insists its protests are nonviolent. However, dozens of churches and police stations came under attack by suspected supporters of Morsi and armed Morsi supporters exchanged gunfire and clashed with security forces in two Islamists’ strongholds. “This time, the group will return to darkness but much weaker than before after losing popular support,” said Abdullah el-Moghazi, a former lawmaker who sat on a consultative body that advised the military generals who ruled Egypt for more than a year after Mubarak’s fall and before Morsi’s election.

The smoke was pouring through a large skylight inside the mall’s main department and grocery store, where mattresses and other flammable goods appeared to have been set on fire, a person with knowledge of the rescue operation told The Associated Press. The explosions were followed by volleys of gunfire as police helicopters and a military jet circled overhead, giving the neighborhood the feel of a war zone. By evening, Kenyan security officials claimed the upper hand. “Taken control of all the floors. We’re not here to feed the attackers with pastries but to finish and

ODD NEWS Naked burglar gets trapped in air vent MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee police say a naked burglar tried to break into a veterinary clinic to steal drugs but got stuck in the air vents for almost 12 hours. Police Lt. Mark Stanmeyer says employees of the Small Animal Hospital in Milwaukee came into work Monday morning and heard the muffled screams of someone calling for help. They discovered the 19-yearold stuck in a narrow shaft. The teen had crawled into the vent Sunday about 9 p.m., meaning he spent about half a day in the vent. Stanmeyer says the teen suffered multiple cuts and scrapes from screws. Police Capt. Aaron Raap says the man had stripped naked on the roof before breaking into the vent, perhaps to prevent his clothes from snagging on screws. The man faces an attempted-burglary charge.

Economy puts brakes on stocks NextEra Energy NEW YORK (AP) — Concerns about the strength of the economy and the potential for a budget fight in Washington pushed down the stock market Monday. The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell for a third straight day. Investors initially cheered the Federal Reserve’s decision last Wednesday to keep its huge stimulus program in place. But they’ve since focused on the central bank’s gloomier outlook for growth. William Dudley, the President of the Fed’s New

York Branch said Monday that while the economy was improving, “the headwinds” created by the financial crisis were only easing slowly. “At first blush (the stimulus) looks positive,” said Kate Warne, an investment strategist at Edward Jones, a financial advisor. “But at second blush, it says conditions weren’t as strong as we were previously thinking. Markets are now responding to that.” The Dow jumped 147 points last Wednesday to close at an all-time high. But the gain from that rally has been erased. On Monday, the S&P

500 index dropped 8.07 points, or 0.5 percent, to close at 1,701.84. The index was fractionally lower than its level before the Fed’s decision last Wednesday. The Dow fell 49.71 points, or 0.3 percent, to 15,401.38. The Nasdaq composite fell 9.44 points, or 0.3 percent, to 3,765.29. Financial stocks fell the most among the 10 industrial groups in the S&P 500 index. Investors sold financial stocks on concerns that their earnings would be hurt by lower trading volumes of bonds and foreign currencies.

Citigroup fell $1.64, or 3 percent, to $49.57 after the Financial Times reported that the bank had suffered a “significant decline” in trading revenues that would crimp its earnings. Goldman Sachs, which began trading on the Dow Monday, also fell. The stock slipped $4.50, or 3 percent, to $165.20. Utilities were the best performing industry group in the S&P 500 index, as investors sought less risky places to put their money. The threat of a looming political showdown over the budget also weighed on investors.

of BlackBerry. Watsa stepped down when BlackBerry announced it was considering a sale last month. Watsa is one of Canada’s best-known value investors and the billionaire founder of Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. He has been compared to Warren Buffett because of his investing approach. BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis recruited Watsa to join the company’s board when Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie stepped aside as its co-CEOs in January, 2012. Trading of the company’s stock was halted ahead of the news. BlackBerry shares plunged after the company announced Friday a loss of nearly $1 billion and layoffs of 4,500 workers. The BlackBerry, pioneered in 1999, was once the dominant smartphone for on-the-go business people and other consumers.

ear Mr. Berko: My wife, my three youngsters and I may move to Miami. I’ve been offered two positions at 35 percent more than I’m making now. What can you tell me about NextEra Energy, which is one of the two companies that might hire me? — LP, Oklahoma City Dear LP: NextEra Energy is one of the best “foreign” utilities I know of. In another lifetime, long, long ago, it was called Florida Power & Light. NextEra Energy (NEE-$80) serves 9.2 million people in a fast-growing 27,600 square-mile service area, encompassing southeastern Florida. But in 2005, you could have bought 100 shares of NEE at $40. That year, NEE earned $2.32 a share and traded at a price-earnings ratio of 19to-1, and its $1.42 dividend yielded 3.2 percent. This year, NEE expects to earn $4.95 a share — more than twice what it earned in 2005 — trade at a 16 P/E and pay a $2.64 dividend yielding 3.2 percent, almost twice its cash payout in 2005. And some NEE enthusiasts believe that the board will recommend a 2-for-1 split early in 2014. So recognizing that the Florida regulatory climate is over-friendly, it’s reasonable to reckon that by 2018, NEE could grow revenues 5 percent annually, to $17.8 billion, and that both earnings and dividends could compound 7 percent, to $6.55 and $3.65, respectively. NEE’s nonregulated energy business, NextEra Energy Resources, or NEER, provides almost 50 percent of NEE’s operating profits. NEER is the largest wind power producer in the U.S., with 2,100 megawatts of capacity in the U.S. and Canada. NEER is also on line to produce 925 megawatts of solar capacity

by 2015 and owns a fleet of nuclear and fossil fuel power plants throughout the country. NEER owns some of the most desirable wind generation sites in the U.S., and its large, diversified generation capacity creates impressive advantages of scale and flexibility over its many smaller competitors. Some believe that NEE may spin off this asset, which could impressively improve shareholder value. And there’s also talk that NEE will invest $1.55 billion in a joint venture with Spectra Energy (SE-$34) to build a gas pipeline from Alabama to Florida. The completion date should be in late 2017, and NEE would be able to earn a sweet, federally regulated return of 10.5 percent on its investment. NEE is one of those rare growth and income utilities with an excellent reputation on the Street and very capable management that knows how to communicate with its well-trained workforce. NEE is also on the recommended list of Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo, KeyBank and Bank of New York Mellon. Its shares are prominent in the mutual fund portfolios of Vanguard, BlackRock, Wellington, Franklin, State Street and others. And I’d be pleased to own this stock because I think NEE is a compelling long-term buy for conservative investors seeking above-average performance. Email Malcolm Berko at [email protected].

Scott replaces Bush insider on education board TALLAHASSEE (AP) — Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Monday tapped a former public school teacher to take a spot on the panel that oversees the state’s public schools. Scott appointed Rebecca Fishman Lipsey to a four-year term on the State Board of Education. Lipsey, who is from Aventura, taught in New York City for two years.

But she also worked as executive director in Miami-Dade County for Teach for America — a program that has tried to improve classroom teaching by placing recent college graduates in low-income schools and is often criticized by teacher unions. “Rebecca is committed to student success and accountability, and it is clear she will be a tremendous advocate

for all Florida students,” Scott said in a statement. The 32-year-old Lipsey will take the spot now held by Kathleen Shanahan. Shanahan, who once was a chief of staff for former Gov. Jeb Bush, will remain on the board until the end of the year. The seven-member panel hires and fires the education commissioner and is responsible for

approving changes to education standards and the state’s school grading system. Shanahan had also been chairman of the state board until a year ago when she abruptly resigned from the position. At the time, she said she wanted to make sure that the next education commissioner would have a board chairman whose term would span the same time period.

Shanahan also said her job demands were growing. Shanahan, who has been an outspoken advocate for new standards known as “Common Core State Standards,” did not apply for another term on the board. But she was not ending her tenure quietly. Just last week she took a swipe at Scott for failing to attend the three-day schools summit he

abruptly convened last month in Clearwater. She also faulted Scott for preparing to issue an executive order that deals with Common Core even though board members and school superintendents had no clear indication what it was going to accomplish. “It’s embarrassing for him that he’s disrespecting the statutory integrity of this board,” Shanahan said.

marijuana each Saturday night from California to the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. Shirden Coe, 35, of Wheatland, Calif., and Brett Alexander Mattson, 25, of the 4900 block of 24th St. W., Bradenton, brought in 31.5 and 31.6 pounds of vacuum-sealed bags of suspected marijuana respectively, according to a Manatee County Sheriff’s Office report. Coe and Mattson each checked two pieces of luggage in California and their bags, which were targeted by a K-9 drug-sniffing dog, each reportedly contained 28 sealed bags of the drug when opened in Sarasota. The pot is worth about $252,000. Both men were charged early Sunday morning with trafficking in marijuana in excess of 25 pounds and taken to the Sarasota County Jail. Mattson remained in jail Monday on $100,000 bond; Coe, on $75,000 bond.

| HEADLINE NEWS FROM AROUND THE STATE Lee commissioner signs plea deal for wire fraud FORT MYERS (NewsPress) — Commissioner Tammy Hall signed a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, in which she admits to one count of wire fraud for allegedly spending campaign funds on a personal shopping spree. Hall will appear in court Oct. 3rd. According to the plea agreement, she faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, according to the Sept. 16 plea agreement Hall signed. Federal authorities filed public court records this morning, alleging that Hall spent $33,756 in campaign funds for her personal pleasures, making purchases at high end retailers Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Mark Loren Designs and Club Monaco. Hall resigned from the commission Monday morning, Commission Chair Cecil Pendergrass said. Pendergrass said he will call Gov. Rick Scott today and ask him to immediately appoint a replacement for Hall.

Water flow from Lake Okeechobee increases again WEST PALM BEACH (AP) — Federal officials say above-average rainfall this month has forced them to increase the amount of water flowing from Lake Okeechobee. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers releases water from the lake to reduce pressure on the aging Herbert Hoover Dike. Parts of the earthen dike date to the 1930s. The water is directed into the Caloosahatchee River and the St. Lucie estuary. Critics say polluted freshwater from the lake has ravaged those ecosystems this summer. Drier conditions in August allowed the Corps to reduce the flow of water from the lake. However, Lt. Col. Tom Greco says above-average rainfall returned in September.

SARASOTA (AP) — Investigators say a stabbing on a busy Sarasota road was not due to road rage. Authorities say two cars pulled off the side of the road Sunday night after words were exchanged and items were thrown between them. One man was stabbed in the hand and hit by the suspect’s car as a man and woman fled the scene. The Sarasota HeraldTribune reported on Monday that authorities previously attributed the stabbing to road rage but no longer consider that to be the case. One man was airlifted to the hospital. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office.

Dolphins seek end to streak of losing seasons By STEVEN WINE

AssociAted Press MIAMI GARDENS — As the Miami Dolphins prepare for a rare prime-time appearance Monday night at New Orleans, the extra day between games will be welcome. It gives the Dolphins a few additional hours to enjoy being 3-0, more time for an injury-depleted defense to mend, and another practice to address serious problems with pass protection. The surprising Dolphins took another step toward ending their streak of four consecutive losing seasons by rallying past Atlanta 27-23 Sunday. “We’re making the most of the present, and hopefully we can snowball that into the future,” said long snapper John Denney, whose nine years with Miami give him locker room seniority. The Dolphins have won their first three games 12 other times,

Schiano, Bucs stick to script despite record By RICK STROUD

tAmPA BAy times TAMPA — Despite an offense that has produced one trip to the end zone in the past two weeks and is ranked ahead of only Jacksonville’s in scoring, Bucs coach Greg Schiano isn’t shaking things up. No knock you off your chair changes. Schiano plans to stick with Josh Freeman at quarterback and said Monday he has the “utmost confidence” in offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan. Tampa Bay is 0-3 for the first time since 2009 and has lost eight of its past nine games under Schiano. “Josh is our starter. That’s where we are,” Schiano said. “He’s done some good things and he’s done some things that he’d like to change and we’d like to. But it’s the whole offensive unit.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — These are strange times in NASCAR, where everything has turned upside down in the blink of an eye. Michael Waltrip Racing is fighting for its survival in the wake of a race-fixing scandal and a driver who woke up two Mondays ago in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship is now looking for a job. Sponsors are taking a stand, too — against a team over ethics, maybe even against NASCAR for the perception that all teams are not treated equally. A single-car team based in Colorado suddenly has the most desired seat in the garage, and when the music stops, a pair of respected veterans and the Nationwide Series championship leader may be left standing without rides because the youth movement has clearly taken over. Maybe everything went haywire when Tony Stewart broke his leg Aug. 5. That’s when co-owner Gene Haas went rogue, seizing the opportunity while Stewart was incapacitated to finalize a deal to hire the seemingly untouchable Kurt Busch. Nothing else has made much sense since then. Busch, whose talent had taken tiny Furniture Row Motorsports to the verge of a Chase berth, was suddenly headed back to a dream job. With Stewart sidelined for the rest of the season, defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski stuck in a slump and perpetual contender Denny Hamlin out of Chase contention, the field was open to roughly 10 drivers suddenly vying for a golden ticket into NASCAR’s version of the playoffs.

Group helps novice women runners By BARBARA BOXLEITNER Sun CorreSpondent June Suller wanted to keep improving her running times. The 71-year-old Punta Gorda resident hasn’t been running too long. Suller started two years ago after being an avid walker. She completed the 2011 Women’s Running Magazine Half Marathon in 3 hours, 25 minutes and has done shorter distance races. She joined the recently formed Punta Gorda FAB 50 Women on the Run group. The group uses an 11-week program designed to help females of any age train for

a 5K and half-marathon distances. Team captain Traci Myers, who has been a runner for 20 years, said the group operates in conjunction with the FAB 50 squads in Largo, St. Petersburg and Tarpon Springs. Suller is the oldest of the eight members in the group, which includes a mother and daughter. “I want to keep running to stay healthy,” said Suller, a mother of two and grandmother of four. “I was very excited to improve my endurance and speed and work with a great group of women.” Group members train

Farrer said Kulczak has been smarter in using the distance as a strength, to create higher-percentage subsequent shots. “His chips and his putts have a better chance of going in,” the coach said. On the last two holes during the opener, Farrer said, Kulczak made “a near impossible up and down” to set up a 15-foot putt and birdied the last hole to give the team a fourth-place tie. “My putting has definitely improved,” Kulczak said. “My course management has improved. I’m not putting any pressure on myself. Now I have something to fall back in. I have the trust in my game. I know I can do this.” Contact Boxleitner at [email protected]

AS A MATTER OF FACT ... — Of the 161 teams that have started the season 0-3 since 1978, only five made the NFL playoffs, according to STATS LLC. — In 2012, two of the 12 teams that reached the playoffs started 3-0: the Houston Texans and the Atlanta Falcons. Zero of the 12 teams that reached the playoffs started the season 0-3. — Since the playoffs expanded to 12 teams in 1990, 75.4 percent (86 of 114) of teams that started the season 3-0 made the playoffs. Since 1990, no team that has started 0-3 went on to the Super Bowl. — Only three teams that started 0-3 since 1990 went on to make the playoffs: 1998 Buffalo Bills (finished 10-6), 1995 Detroit Lions (finished 10-6) and 1992 San Diego Chargers (finished 11-5).

FROM PAGE 1 an infield single. He was taken off on a stretcher. Baltimore manager Buck Showalter had no immediate update on Machado’s injury as the team awaited test results. Machado will undergo an MRI today. “It’s horrible,” Maddon said. “That guy there, to me, Baltimore has really ascended over the last couple years and I really believe he’s been at the cornerstone, the keystone of that whole thing. Hate to see that. This is a young man, a tremendous talent. You can see the effort level with them. This young man blows out his knee, possibly. You can see how badly they wanted it, too.” With the bases loaded, two outs and trailing 4-2 in the seventh, Myers, a rookie, sent a flare behind second base. Second baseman Alexi Casilla, who entered the game in the eighth, made a fully extended diving catch but he collided with Nick Markakis, racing in toward the ball from right field. The ball came loose and two runs scored. Casilla hit his head on the play, but remained in the game. However, he left one inning later. “I probably should have taken him out but I didn’t know what he had hit until between innings,” Showalter said. “He’s going to get a CAT scan and stay overnight here, not travel. He got a little foggy-headed between innings and had to come out of there.” Hitting for Sean Rodriguez, Loney lined an 0-1 pitch from Tommy Hunter (6-5) down the right field line. “It feels pretty good, obviously, to win the game like that in the last game of the regular season at home ... it’s a special feeling,” Loney said after Tampa Bays’ regular-season finale. Joel Peralta (3-8) pitched a perfect ninth for the Rays, who have won nine of 12. Chris Davis hit his major league-best 52nd homer for Baltimore. Tim Beckham, taken first overall in the 2008 draft, put the Rays up 1-0 on a sacrifice fly in the second. It was the rookie’s first major league RBI.

CARDINALS AT BUCCANEERS WHO: Arizona (1-2) at Tampa Bay (0-3) WHEN: Sunday, 1 p.m. WHERE: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa TV: FOX RADIO: 103.5 FM, 620 AM, 1580 AM TICKETS: Ticketmaster.com or at the stadium box office with our offense,” Schiano said. “I think when he’s in the pocket and feels comfortable, he’s delivering the ball. It’s when things break down a little bit, it hasn’t been as good as it’s been before and it will be again. One of his strengths is extending plays. But again, when you have variables, where we’re not sharp enough on the details, it’s hard to be the triggerman when some things aren’t going the way they’re supposed to. “There’s 10 other guys out there … and everybody has some of the responsibility for not scoring points, starting with me. But obviously, it does happen because he touches the ball 73 times on Sunday. But there’s a whole bunch of us (who) have to get our stuff straight.” Schiano isn’t the only one who has Freeman’s back. Guard Carl Nicks, who played his first game since recovering from MRSA, said the team stands behind its fifthyear quarterback. “Josh is our guy,” Nicks said. “We’re going to ride and die with Josh. He’s the starter, he’s always been the starter. We support him 110 percent.”

DOLPHINS AT SAINTS WHO: Miami (3-0) at New Orleans (3-0) WHEN: Monday, 8:40 p.m. WHERE: Superdome, New Orleans TV: ESPN Wake’s injury means the Dolphins may be forced to accelerate the development of top draft pick Dion Jordan, who came off the bench in the first three games. The No. 3 overall pick saw his most extensive action Sunday, including when Miami forced consecutive threeand-outs by high-powered Atlanta in the second half. “We’re seeing more and more of Dion, and he’s getting better,” defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle said. “We want to expand his role. He showed things in the game Sunday which lead us to believe we can keep feeding him more.” Miami’s struggling offensive line was also at its best late, protecting Tannehill on every throw as he went 9 for 12 to lead the game-winning 75-yard touchdown drive. But Tannehill endured five sacks earlier, giving him 14 this season, three more than any other NFL quarterback. The Dolphins’ statistics make their record a head-scratcher. They’ve been outgained by 158 yards, and their rushing attack (3.3 yards per attempt) and run defense (4.7) are both worse than last year, when they went 7-9.

MLB NOTEBOOK

Harvey has small rehab window From Wire reports CINCINNATI — The details still need to be worked out. And even Mets general manager Sandy Alderson acknowledged Monday that it’s not clear whether it’s possible. But if right-hander Matt Harvey hopes to avoid elbow surgery and pitch for the Mets next season, he must show this winter that he can withstand the stress of game conditions. “He needs to throw to a near-competitive level, and perhaps on more than one occasion,” said Alderson, who left open the chance of sending Harvey to winter leagues such as the Arizona Fall League, where he could test his elbow against higher-level competition. Harvey has a six- to eight-month window to get through a rehab program for a partial ligament tear in his right elbow. A setback at any point would lead to Tommy John surgery, which would wipe out the pitcher’s 2014 season. However, Harvey has insisted on giving rehab a chance. Since surgery carries a 12-month rehab, the timing of Harvey’s injury has opened a window for him to at least make an attempt to avoid surgery. He has yet to begin his

throwing program. Said Alderson: “The strong desire is we will finish this process in a sixto eight-week time frame.” — Newsday Injury report: St. Louis outfielder Matt Holliday was scratched from the Cardinals’ lineup against Washington because of back spasms. Holliday missed Sunday’s game at Milwaukee with the same ailment. … Philadelphia pitcher Roy Halladay left the game against Miami in the first inning with an undisclosed injury. Halladay walked two of the first three batters he faced before leaving. … Minnesota shut down All-Star catcher Joe Mauer for the rest of the season while he recovers from a concussion.General manager Terry Ryan and Mauer both said that the former AL MVP is making progress. But they don’t want to take any unnecessary risks with the Twins far out of contention in the AL Central. Mauer hasn’t played since Aug. 19. … CC Sabathia will not pitch again for the New York Yankees this season because of a strained left hamstring. The Yankees said the left-hander has a Grade 2 strain and would need approximately eight weeks to recover. Around the nation: Pedro Martinez will serve as a studio analyst for TBS during the baseball playoffs. The network said the three-time Cy Young Award winner will join host Keith Olbermann. … Catcher Max Stassi rejoined Houston in the same ballpark where he was hit by a pitch in the jaw and missed a month with a concussion. Stassi hasn’t played since Aug. 21.

Pirates, Reds clinch playoff berths By The AssociATed Press CHICAGO — The Pittsburgh Pirates are going to the playoffs for the first time in 21 years, clinching at least a National League wild card Monday when they beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 and Washington lost to St. Louis. It will be Pittsburgh’s first trip to the postseason since Barry Bonds, Jim Leyland and Co. won three consecutive NL East titles from 1990-92. Bonds then left for San Francisco as a free agent, and the small-budget Pirates compiled 20 consecutive losing records — the longest streak in the four major professional sports. Starling Marte hit a tiebreaking homer in the ninth inning at Wrigley Field, and the Pirates threw out a runner at the plate for the final out. The Pirates doused each other in champagne in the visitors’ clubhouse at Wrigley Field once St. Louis’ 4-3 win over the Nationals became final. Reds 3, Mets 2, 10 innings: In Cincinnati, Shin-Soo Choo drove in the winning run with a single off the wall in the 10th inning, and Cincinnati secured a playoff spot moments after beating New York. Second-place Cincinnati clinched at least an NL wild card when Washington lost to St. Louis 4-3. Cardinals 4, Nationals 3: In St. Louis, Carlos Beltran homered, Adam Wainwright earned his 18th win and St. Louis eliminated the Nationals from playoff contention. Looking for their first NL Central title since 2009, the Cardinals maintained a two-game lead over Cincinnati and Pittsburgh and reduced their magic number to four. All three teams are headed to the postseason. The Reds and Pirates both won Monday night, clinching at least a wild-card berth when Washington lost. St. Louis secured no worse than a wild card on Sunday. Marlins 4, Phillies 0: In Miami, Nathan Eovaldi pitched into the eighth inning to lead Miami. Justin Ruggiano drew a bases loaded walk in the first inning and the Marlins scored three runs in the eighth on RBI singles by Donovan Solando and Ed Lucas and a sacrifice fly by Christian Yelich. Eovaldi (4-6) allowed three hits over 7 2/3 innings. He struck out five and walked two. Brewers 5, Braves 0: In Atlanta, Marco Estrada pitched seven innings, and Carlos Gomez and Jonathan Lucroy homered for Atlanta. The NL East champion Braves began the night with the league’s best record, 1½ games ahead of St. Louis. Los Angeles, which did not play, moved two games back. Atlanta has the majors’ best home record at 52-23, but the Brewers led 4-0 in the eighth when Aramis Ramirez homered off reliever Anthony Varvaro. Rangers 12, Astros 0: In Arlington, Texas, Alex Rios hit for the cycle, and Derek Holland struck out nine in his second shutout of the season for Texas. The Rangers pulled within a game of idle Cleveland for the second AL wild-card berth with six games remaining. Rios finished off the cycle with a triple to right-center field in the sixth inning, and later scored to put Texas up 11-0. Holland (10-9) got his 10th win in his ninth try since his last victory on Aug. 4. The left-hander won at home for the first time since May 31. White Sox 3, Blue Jays 2: In Chicago, Jose Quintana pitched into the eighth inning, and rookie Marcus Semien hit his first homer to lead Chicago. Quintana (9-6), who entered the game with the most no-decisions in the American League at 17, allowed two runs on five hits in 7 1/3 innings.

ORACLE WINS AGAIN IN AMERICA’S CUP SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — This America’s Cup would be tied at 8 if defending champion Oracle Team USA hadn’t been hit with the harshest penalties in the regatta’s 162-year history. No worries, said Australian-born skipper, Jimmy Spithill. He’s a boxer as well as a sailor, and his spark and motivation has helped spur Oracle’s remarkable comeback from what seemed like certain defeat a week ago. Spithill put his bows down, accelerated his 72-foot catamaran off the starting line and pulled clear of Emirates Team New Zealand on Monday to claim a fifth straight victory and stay alive in the longest America’s Cup in history. The 34-year-old Spithill and his brain trust of Olympic gold medalists — British tactician Ben Ainslie and Australian strategist Tom Slingsby — kept the American-backed boat ahead the whole way around the five-leg course on San Francisco Bay for a 33-second victory. Although the teams are tied on the water, the Kiwis lead 8-6 because Oracle was docked two points and wing sail trimmer Dirk de Ridder was tossed from the regatta after it was discovered that the syndicate illegally modified boats during warmup races called the America’s Cup World Series. Because Race 16 was delayed a half-hour due to light wind, Race 17 was postponed until today. Race 18, if necessary, also is scheduled for today.

BASKETBALL Shaq joins Kings ownership group: The larger-than-life figure that teased and tormented the Sacramento Kings for so long is now the biggest name to join the franchise’s new ownership group. The Kings announced that Shaquille O’Neal has acquired a minority stake in the team under new owner Vivek Ranadive. The Kings will introduce the four-time NBA champion at a news conference today in Sacramento. During the height of his career with the Los Angeles Lakers, O’Neal fueled the rivalry with the Kings with his play on the court and his personality off of it. O’Neal handed Sacramento its biggest blow by rallying the Lakers from a 3-2 deficit to win the 2002 Western Conference finals, which is still a sore spot for Kings fans. The 7-foot-1 center even labeled the franchise the “Sacramento Queens” and accused fan favorite Vlade Divac — whom he referred to as “she” at one point — of flopping. ... Miami signed guard Larry Drew II, making him the 18th person on the roster for training camp with the two-time defending NBA champions. Drew II is the son of Milwaukee Bucks coach Larry Drew. Drew II finished his college career at UCLA, after transferring from North Carolina. He started all 35 of his appearances for UCLA last season, averaging 7.5 points and 7.3 assists. Overall, Drew II averaged 5.5 points in 131 college games. Miami’s first practice is Oct. 1. ... LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett may soon wear uniforms unlike any other. Some members of the Heat have

been told that the NBA is considering having them and the Brooklyn Nets wear “nickname jerseys” for at least one of their matchups this season. Heat guard Ray Allen said he wants to wear “Shuttlesworth” as a nod to his character in the movie “He Got Game.” The NBA has not announced the nickname-jersey plan, though some players have been aware of the notion for several weeks. They were asked to submit what names they would want to wear. ... In Atlanta, Erika de Souza scored 10 of her 18 points during a decisive fourth quarter and the Atlanta Dream beat the Washington Mystics 80-72 win in the decisive Game 3 of their WNBA first-round series. The Dream advanced to face the fourth-seeded Indiana Fever in the Eastern Conference finals, which will begin Thursday in Atlanta.

GOLF Iowa awarded 2017 Solheim Cup: The LPGA’s biggest tournament is coming to Iowa. The LPGA announced that the 2017 Solheim Cup will be held at the Des Moines Golf and Country Club.

The Solheim Cup, which features 12 golfers on each team in a match-play format, will be in Germany in 2015 before going to Iowa.

HOCKEY Penguins beat Blackhawks in shootout: In Pittsburgh, James Neal scored in the shootout to help the Penguins beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in a preseason game. Bryan Bickell scored two goals in the second period for Chicago, but Kris Letang had two goals in the third for Pittsburgh. ... In Columbus, Ohio, Jason Zucker scored the lone shootout goal and assisted on the tying goal to lift the Minnesota Wild to a 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. ... In Boston, center Chris Kelly scored 3:39 into overtime and defenseman Zdeno Chara scored two goals to lead the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals. ... Toronto Maple Leafs forward David Clarkson has been suspended 10 regular-season games without pay for leaving the bench to take part in a fight. Clarkson’s automatic suspension results from the game misconduct penalty he received for joining the brawl Sunday night during the third period of Toronto’s 5-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres. The NHL also suspended Vancouver Canucks forward Zack Kassian for five regular-season games and the rest of preseason for a hit that broke the jaw of Edmonton forward Sam Gagner on Saturday.

Djokovic reached No. 1 in July 2011. He lost the top spot to Federer for three months in 2012 but regained it in November of that year.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Miami QB says leg is fine

Gators’ QB faces 4-6 months of recovery after Wednesday surgery

practicing Monday, tossing a football around — albeit while wearing a baseball cap instead of a helmet, but moving without much of a limp.

By The AssociATed Press CORAL GABLES — When Miami quarterback Stephen Morris felt the initial pangs of sharp pain shooting through his leg this past weekend, the worst-case scenarios like a knee or an Achilles’ problem started going through his mind. Within moments, he knew it wasn’t serious. And in the end, it may have only cost him a few plays. Morris is working through a bone bruise around his right ankle

and plans to be in the lineup Saturday when No. 15 Miami (3-0) visits South Florida (0-3), the Hurricanes’ final contest before their slate of Atlantic Coast Conference games begins. “The ankle feels good,” Morris said. “The ankle feels fine. … I feel pretty good about playing on Saturday, so that’s the goal.” Morris left with 8:51 left in the first quarter of Miami’s 77-7 win over Savannah State. He was on the field while his teammates were

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Central Florida

Big 12 struggles with non-conference slate: Once the Big 12 gets through this last weekend in September, there will be no more non-conference games in the regular season. Then at least the conference teams will be beating up on each other. There have already been eight non-conference losses, twice as many as the Big 12 had in the regular season last year. Big 12 teams are 19-8 against non-conference opponents with three such games left to play this weekend. Last year, the Big 12 was 26-4 in

its non-conference games during the regular season — the mark was 27-3 in 2011. Even in 2010, when the league had 12 teams and each played four non-conference games, the Big 12 was 40-8 in the regular season against outside competition. Driskel to have surgery Wednesday: Florida coach Will Muschamp said quarterback Jeff Driskel will undergo surgery Wednesday to have a metal plate inserted into his broken fibula. He is facing a four- to six-month recovery process. Driskel, a true junior, has two years of eligibility remaining, and is eligible for a redshirt this year. … In other injury news, Tennessee quarterback Nathan Peterman will miss at least four weeks after undergoing surgery on his right hand. The injury leaves Justin Worley, who

Around the nation: Kansas defensive tackle Marquel Combs,

who was rated among the best junior college prospects in the nation last year, intends to transfer after being released from his scholarship. Combs did not say where he intends to transfer. Under terms of his release, he will not be allowed to transfer to another Big 12 school. … Rutgers and Temple agreed to play four more football games, starting in 2020. Rutgers will play host to the Owls in 2020 and 2022, while Temple will have the Scarlet Knights in Philadelphia in 2021 and 2023. … LSU running back Jeremy Hill, Florida defensive lineman Dante Fowler and Arkansas longsnapper Alan D’Appollonio were named Southeastern Conference players of the week. Mississippi State guard Gabe Jackson and Missouri defensive end Kony Ealy were named linemen of the week.

UCF prepares for the spotlight

OSU: It’s time to turn it up

By PAUL TENORIO

By RUSTY MILLER

AssociAted Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — In a close game, nothing can be left to chance. No wonder Urban Meyer is making sure to go over all the details before his fourth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes play host No. 23 Wisconsin on Saturday. “It is very much a game that I think our players and their players know that it’s going to come down (to the finish),” Meyer said. “This will be a classic game.” The game will be the Big Ten opener for Ohio State (4-0) and its first real test after slicing through four subpar non-conference cupcakes. “We have to take our games to a different level,” Buckeyes linebacker Curtis Grant said. “Anybody who gets in that game has to maximize their talent and just go out and play. We’re in the Big Ten now and nothing’s guaranteed, nothing’s promised.” Wisconsin (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) and Ohio State have a history of playing tight games that teeter on one dramatic moment. “As much as you like coaching in those games, there’s also the competitive spirit of the whole thing,” Meyer said. “You know the preparation has got to be, cross all the t’s, dot all the i’s.” After a soft early schedule — their opponents are 3-10 with each of the wins against FCS schools — the Buckeyes know they’re in for all they can handle in their Big Ten opener. “It’s going to be a tough game,” center Corey Linsley said. “I’ve watched them on film. I mean, typical Wisconsin. The defense is tough, hardnosed, they come at you, never take a play off. It was like that last year, and I’m sure it’s going to be like that again this year.” Typical Wisconsin, except that the Badgers have a new coach. Gary Andersen is a former assistant to Meyer at Utah, and remains a good friend. One thing that hasn’t changed is that the Badgers do not ever seem to be intimidated by the Buckeyes.

started the Vols first three gmaes, back in the starter’s role. … Alabama coach Nick Saban said all injured players except backup safety Nick Perry appear ready to participate in practice. Perry has a shoulder injury. Wide receiver Amari Cooper and Deion Belue had toe injuries. Guard Anthony Steen missed the game with a headache. Wide receiver Kevin Norwood sat out with an unspecified injury. Safety Jarrick Williams had been having problems after getting poked in the eye against Texas A&M. … LSU coach Les Miles said starting right guard Trai Turner (right ankle) and starting defensive tackle Anthony Johnson (left leg) will recover from injuries sustained Saturday in time to play this week at No. 9 Georgia.

Penn State guard John Urschel blocks Central Florida linebacker Terrance Plummer (41) during the Knights’ victory 10 days ago in State College, Pa. Plummer and his teammates are having trouble getting tickets for family after this week’s home game against South Carolina sold out.

orlAndo sentinel ORLANDO — About a half mile from where Central Florida linebacker Terrance Plummer and the rest of the football team was preparing to face No. 12 South Carolina, hundreds of students lined up across the plaza in front of CFE Arena Monday morning. They were waiting for a chance to buy student-guest tickets, a UCF promotion that allows students to buy football game tickets for up to two guests at a reduced rate. Those lucky enough to get to the box office window secured the final available seats before Saturday’s game between the Knights and Gamecocks was sold out shortly before noon. Even Plummer had someone in line trying to score a few extra seats for the showdown with South Carolina. The Knights’ starting middle linebacker has 18 family members making the trip to Orlando, and just four tickets provided by UCF to give them. “I told them maybe you can get some tickets at the gate,” he said. “My family said they’re going to tailgate, and if they can’t make it inside, they’re going to go to Buffalo Wild Wings … (to) watch it.” With game week barely under way, even UCF players were searching for tickets. Hype surrounding the critical matchup has already started to spike. UCF (3-0) learned on Sunday it was playing

South Carolina (2-1) on ABC, marking the first time the Knights will play a game on national network television in program history. Kickoff is set for noon. The game offers a chance to grab college football headlines by moving to 4-0 with the Knights’ second consecutive marquee win. Central Florida already received a big boost from a 34-31 win at Penn State Sept. 14. With a victory against the Gamecocks, UCF would put itself not just into the rankings, but also into the conversation for a conference championship. It would be unprecedented territory for a program that last opened a season with three consecutive wins in 1988, when it competed at the NCAA Division II level. Plummer was born five years later. Try as they might to avoid buzz building on campus, there was no use breaking out the “just another game” line during the Knights’ press conference. The unique platform — a national TV audience on ABC in front of UCF’s first sellout crowd since September 2011 — was too big to avoid. “We’re on a national stage,” Plummer said. “Everybody can turn to a local channel and see us play, which is huge. Everybody will get to see UCF against a big quality opponent, and if we come out and get the ‘W,’ it’ll really help our program head in the right direction.” the same way it did MWR for trying to manipulate the Richmond race to get Joey Logano into the Chase, and perhaps for expanding the Chase field to 13 drivers to accommodate Jeff Gordon. Bowyer and Gordon had an issue late last season that took Bowyer out of title contention. “There’s a lot of talk about integrity,” Henderson said. “When the guy who’s in charge can say, ‘I can do whatever I want and I’m going to do it and I just did,’ I wonder about integrity. I want to make sure we can win in this sport, OK?” Should 5-Hour bail at the end of the year, Bowyer will be in far worse shape than Truex. At least Truex has some time to look for a job. In December, there won’t be any jobs to be had.

Bowel changes can signal underlying illness DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a question regarding my stool. It is not normal, but is in pieces, which are small and sometimes elongated. I am in no pain or discomfort. I have not lost weight or changed my eating habits. It started about a year ago. I had a colonoscopy six months ago. Everything was OK. I am a female, 64 years old. I have been eating a lot of whole wheat and lots of vegetables and fruits. My doctor does not appear to be concerned, but I am. Could I be allergic to certain foods? I am not sure what to do. — E.R. ANSWER: Changes in bowel movements mean that either there’s been a change in the diet or a change in the bowel. Thin, elongated stool is very worrisome for a partial blockage in the large bowel, especially due to colon cancer, so a colonoscopy was exactly the right test to do. Given that the colonoscopy was OK, I would be concerned about a change in diet. Your diet did not change, but for others, if a dietary change was made about the same time as bowel movements did, it would be pretty clearly the cause. However, conditions like irritable bowel syndrome often cause changes in bowel habits — sometimes causing constipation or loose bowel movements; sometimes both, alternating. Food allergies usually bring on abdominal discomfort, nausea or vomiting. Celiac disease can cause variable bowel changes, especially diarrhea. If you were experiencing weight loss, abdominal pain or other significant symptoms, your concern might be justified. Since you are otherwise well, try keeping a food diary to see if you can identify which foods worsen your symptoms. DEAR DR. ROACH: My friend got colon cancer at 43. I asked why she did not get a colonoscopy earlier. She said that she had no symptoms and that insurance pays at 50 years old or over. How many people get colon cancer before age 50? — S.M. ANSWER: Only about 10 percent of colon cancer occurs before age 50. A family history of a first-degree relative getting colon cancer should prompt a colonoscopy at least 10 years younger than the family member was when

REX MORGAN By Woody Wilson and Graham Nolan

Dr. Roach Readers may write Dr. Roach at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475 diagnosed — so if your father was diagnosed at age 51, you should have a colonoscopy at age 41. Unfortunately, not everybody who will get colon cancer has a family history. Any bleeding from the rectum or in the stool should prompt a visit and at least a discussion of whether a colonoscopy is necessary — at any age. Most cases of bleeding aren’t cancer, but I’ve seen many cases of polyps and inflammatory bowel disease show up with bleeding. DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently I’ve read several references as to how kudzu has been successfully used to treat alcoholism. But it’s not being sold anywhere. Two questions: Why isn’t it available to the public; and why is it being actively killed off with herbicides rather than being harvested? — S.M. ANSWER: A pilot study did show that a kudzu extract reduced the amount of alcohol that people drank (ordinary volunteers, not necessarily people with problems with alcohol). However, it’s a difficult process to prove that the extract is safe and effective in the long term. You can buy kudzu extract at some health-food stores or on the Internet, but the researchers found that none of the preparations they tried was effective. The kudzu concentration in the commercial versions was less than 1 percent, and the study used 30 percent to 40 percent concentration. I don’t recommend using existing kudzu preparations. In the meantime, I am assured that there is plenty of kudzu to go around. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

MUTTS By Patrick McDonnell

Bedridden person can ring the bell Dear Heloise: My sisterin-law was bedridden, and my brother-in-law had just retired and had lots to do around the house. Every time he would go outside, she would call him. Sometimes he couldn’t hear her, so he couldn’t go out to the garage. We bought them a battery-powered doorbell and had him put the doorbell ringer on her headboard. One bell was in the back family room, and the other in the garage. When she needed him, she just pushed the doorbell ringer, and he could come running. It was such a blessing to both of them. — Marianne D. in Kansas This is a good hint for anyone who is a nurse to someone who’s sick at home. — Heloise

Vinegar spray Dear Heloise: I love cleaning with vinegar, and I keep a spray bottle of one-third white vinegar and two-thirds water by my kitchen sink for cleaning raw vegetables. I even spray it on the outside of melons before slicing them. — Cathie in Amarillo, Texas Cathie, vinegar is a good cleaner for many things. However, the Food and Drug Administration states that running water and a good rubbing are all that’s required for cleaning fruits and vegetables. Your spray will kill some bacteria, but be sure to

Place them in the refrigerator in a mixture of 1 quart of cold water and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. — Heloise

DOONSBURY By Garry Trudeau

Pretty potted plants Dear Heloise: I lose plant markers or they blow away. I can’t always tell the difference between the herbs just by looking. My daughter thought it’d be cute for all the pots to be the same, so we painted them with black chalkboard paint. We then used chalk to label each pot with the plant name and other important information. Luckily, you can’t lose the marker if it is the pot! — Caroline D. in Iowa

Overprotective parents are driving daughter out the door DEAR ABBY: I’m a 23-year-old woman who still lives at home. I have been working for the last five years and have saved enough to live comfortably on my own. Unfortunately, my parents have forbidden me to do it because they think I’m being manipulated into it by my boyfriend, that I just want to “do whatever I want” and be out until late (although I’m rarely up past 9 p.m. and they know it), and because I “can’t stand them” anymore. I have no privacy! My mail is opened “mistakenly” and my calls are listened in on even when I politely — and sometimes angrily — ask them not to. They have even imposed a rule that I must show them my bank balance weekly. They have told me I will not leave the house without being married first. I would like to live on my own before I actually marry so I can experience what it’s like. This is something I have always wanted to do. If I do move out, they say I’ll “bring shame and embarrassment” to the family. There seems to be a double standard going on here because my older brother has his girlfriend sleep over. How can I accommodate my parents without being disowned? — FEELING HELPLESS IN ILLINOIS DEAR FEELING HELPLESS: Your parents have chosen to ignore that you are an adult, self-supporting and entitled to make your own choices. They may be well-meaning, but they are extremely heavy-handed. Their hyper-vigilance — opening your mail, eavesdropping on your phone calls and insisting on checking your bank balance weekly — is over the top. They would like you to be “safely” married before you leave their protection. Is their problem that they disapprove of your boyfriend? If you get a place of your own, do you plan on moving him in? If that’s not the case, there is no reason why your living independently might
