EARS Rescuing Endangered SpeciesEARS animal sanctuary is non-profit and

is hidden away on 35 acres. EARS mission is to provide permanent homes for unwanted and/or abused endangered animals. Gail Bo-wen and Jaye Perrett, co-founders of EARS, along with a crew of dedicated volunteers maintain enclosures for many abandoned, neglected, and/or abused animals. The sanc-tuary currently houses lions, tigers, bears, cougars, bobcats, jaguars, lynx, monkeys, Fennec fox, tortoise, and dogs. EARS pro-vides a safe and comfortable place for the animals to live. In the little town of Citra, Florida, hidden behind a gate that looks no different than many you have seen, is a very unusual area where some very big animals live. Just beyond that gate a tiger greets visitors by rubbing up against the enclosure fence with a sound of content.

Volunteers educate a private tour group about the large male tiger housed in the first enclosure. We take the tour which is under the majestic Oaks that cover the enclosures of the Endangered Animal Rescue Sanctu-ary.

The enclosures are cleaned every day en-suring the most sanitary conditions for the animals. Some staff live on property.

Animals have enclosures that are many times the required size. Tigers share quar-ter-acre courtyards with trees, woods, and a

place to swim to keep cool. The animals liv-ing quarters or compounds look much like it would in the wild.

The sanctuary focus is to expand on en-closures. EARS opened their doors to 300 animal victims of hurricane Katrina. These rescued pet cats and dogs were adoptable. Almost 50 were returned to their homes in Louisiana.

The animals at EARS have sanctuary for the rest of their lives. EARS survives on do

Those Who Serve Our CountryBy Charlotte Poss I meet many interesting people but now

and then you meet the one who stands out in your mind. The Men and Women who serve our country now and those who did serve during the big wars, such as, WWI and WWII. There are not many if any left from WWI. The Veterans from WWII are dwindling in numbers as time catches up with them.

I had the privilege and honor to meet a man by the name of Aris Stamulis, who is 88 years young and not only a WWII veteran, but was a prisoner of war. He now lives in a nursing home in Wildwood and his mind is as sharp as a tack. We sit for hours talk-ing about many things but the conversation

always goes back to the days of Hitler. Talk-ing with this man is like taking a walk back in time. The best way to understand history is to sometimes hear it from those who have lived it.

There is no such thing as Old. The body may start to give away but the knowledge locked inside of the person is like an open history book.

Aris Stamulis, along with 38 other G.I.’s, were prisoners of Germany, All 39 prisoners lived to return home after surviving the hell that they had to live through. There are only 3 of these men left living and they collected any journals that were kept and a book was published from them. The Title: BROTH

‘DEBT CEILING’ - A Political Smoke Screen - The media no longer has any inter-est in reporting on our National Debt (The $2.4 Trillion we owe to the money lenders) or the Federal Defi cit (What they spend in excess of what the taxes they collect) or our Balance of Payments (The amount of US Dollars the importers send to foreign coun-tries instead of ‘Buying American’).

Plans have been made to cut about $400 billion in spending as well as another $400 billion in health care and retirement benefi t reductions.

Now, even Republicans, are talking about targeting the military. There could be near-ly $1.5 trillion in Department of Defense (DoD) cuts coming over the next decade.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said, “The (planned) reductions in defense spend-ing are in line with what civilian and mili-tary leaders were anticipating, and I believe we can implement these reductions while maintaining the excellence of our military.

But to do that, spending choices must be based on sound strategy and policy”.

What that means is reducing the equip-ment and support of troops in the line-of-fi re, while maintaining, or even increasing the pay and benefi ts for top ranks and ad-ministrators in the Pentagon This is in line with our elected leaders, Republicans & Democrats alike, who are all over the media, crowing about ‘cutting government spend-

ing’, but never including themselves in any kind of cuts.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has called for a “modest” increase in TRICARE premiums.

(TRICARE is the health care program serving active duty service members, Na-tional Guard and Reserve members, retirees, their families, survivors and certain former spouses worldwide which adds up to an in-credible 10 million TRICARE benefi ciaries) Unbelievably those premiums have been frozen at $460 a year for the past 15 years,

This compared to $5,000 a year that fed-eral workers pay and the $10,000 or more that the rest of us pay.

Gates had said defense health care costs have spiraled to $50 billion a year over the past decade. (i.e. Under both a Republican and a Democrat government).

Is it right that we give more money and more benefi ts to our politicians and high-ranking military who never leave the USA except by fi rst-class airliner or a free military aircraft, while, at the same time, abandoning our active combat service members?

Also, DoD is going to change the mili-tary retirement plan to one similar to other federal employees.

As expected secret ‘pork-barrel’ wheel-ing and dealing is now taking over.

‘NIMBY’ is an acronym for ‘Not In My Back Yard’, when local residents band to-

gether to stop the encroachment of objection-able construction plans near their homes.

But, when it come to cuts in the military it’s the exact opposite. Politicians are des-perate to retain military posts in their area and let someone else take the hit.

An example is the Pentagon’s proposal to eliminate the ‘Joint Forces Command’ (JFC), a sprawling military installation in southeastern Virginia.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates an-nounced that the JFC would be closed down.

For Virginia, the installation was far more than a military training and command cen-ter. With an annual operating budget of $838 million and a workforce of 5,700 the JFC is an economic powerhouse in the area.

Republican Governor of Virginia , Bob McDonnell, called the proposed closure “outrageous,” and set up a commission charged with retaining and expanding U.S. military operations in the state.

Democratic U.S. Senator Jim Webb also protested by blocking all of the Defense De-partment’s pending nominees in the Senate.

And a team of state offi cials demanded a face-to-face meeting with Defense Secretary Gates.

Of course power-politics paid off - The Joint Forces Command would still be elimi-nated, but about half of its budget and per-sonnel would be retained in Virginia.

Contrary to expectations, thousands of civilian employees remain there, and the economic devastation that had been predict-ed by the politicians didn’t happen.

So, leaders from both parties like to criticize the federal defi cit as unacceptable and cuts have to be made, but, as always, NIMBY.

Programs such as Medicaid, food stamps and children’s health insurance were spe-cifi cally exempted from the cuts ordered by Congress.

At the same time, the military will have at least $350 billion in cuts over 10 years, with the possibility of another $600 billion if the so-called, bi-partisan ‘Super Committee’ fails to agree on other areas to cut.

State offi cials from Alaska, Florida, Ha-waii, Maryland, New Mexico and other mil-itary-dependent states are not saying much about how cuts would affect them.

The competition between the states has al-ready begun. The Pentagon has many friends in government and the planned hundreds of billions of dollars in defense cuts are simply unacceptable to many politicians.

For Florida, a major dependence on mili-tary retirees and senior citizens is creating a dilemma for Republican leadership.

They will be pushing for entitlement cuts and reductions in Social Security and Medi-care/Medicaid and, at the same time, retain the support of Florida’s ever growing older voters.

Can they vote for cuts in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and still stay in of-fi ce?

We’ll see. . . . ========== FREE SPEECH FOR WHOM?

AS I SEE IT

After over 60 years the Federal Commu-nications Commission (FCC) has ruled that the ‘Fairness Doctrine’ is unconstitutional, so they have voted to abolish it.

The Fairness Doctrine, required broad-cast networks to air contrasting viewpoints on controversial political issues. But now, the FCC Chairman decided to “remove an unnecessary distraction”, claiming that the Fairness Doctrine “chills free speech and the free fl ow of ideas”.

But, in fact, the Fairness Doctrine re-quired broadcasters to devote airtime to discussion of controversial issues of public interest in a balanced and “fair” manner, and in a way that would allow multiple and op-posing perspectives to be expressed.

At the time of the doctrine’s creation, few radio and television stations existed in the United States, and the possibility of an ideo-

logical monopoly held by the “Big Three” broadcast networks was a tangible threat.

The Republicans, under the Presidency of Ronald Reagan, declared that the ‘Fair-ness Doctrine’ is ‘Unconstitutional’.

In other words, they want the right to say whatever they want, but don’t see any rea-son to allow you and me to have the same privilege.

As I See It, freedom of speech is not only a right which you demand for yourself, It’s just as important to ensure that the rights of everyone else are protected too. It hasn’t quite worked out that way.

The conservative right wing in the USA, which is supported and paid for by ‘big business’, like nationwide retailers, the oil industry, bankers and other members of the minority ruling class, enjoy the sponsorship of programming which is biased, inaccurate and incomplete.

(Continued from Page 2)

Anyone who believes in freedom and equality, must subscribe to the concept of ‘The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth’.

Unfortunately this doesn’t include mod-ern television programs, news or reporting.

Shows which purport to be ‘entertain-ment’, like CSI, NCIS and many others, as well as millionaire talk show hosts and newscasts show an obvious bias in favor of big business, elimination of government oversight of dangerous private enterprises like, the nuclear industry, pollution, rips-off by big bankers, wild speculation on Wall Street with our Union Funds, Retirement Accounts and Savings.

But, there is no similar freedom available to the average, working American to effec-tively broadcast their point-of-view.

The Republicans and particularly the so-called ‘Tea Party’ shout loudly that their stubborn resistance to making any progres-sive changes in government is expressing the ‘will-of-the-American-people’.

This, of course, is a big fat lie.There are just as many people who voted

Democrat or independent, or who couldn’t vote at all because the only candidates on the ballot were a couple of crooks.

So, neither right wing or left wing can say that they represent anyone except the extremists on either side.

To me, Free Speech is something that you grant to others as much, if not more than you claim for yourself.

To learn, you must listen – Unfortunate-ly, in today’s world, listening and learning comes in a very weak second place to yell-ing, criticizing, damaging, destroying, hu-miliating and embarrassing your opponent.

The only good ideas are your ideas.The upcoming election season will be

dominated by negative campaigning, slan-der & ridicule on, and from both sides.

As I See It, Free Speech has to generate more light than heat.

When the Tea Party advocates ‘Less Government’ Do you know what that really means?

Is it less regulation of big business, of

pollution and of our environment? And less protection of our National

Parks, rivers and forests? Less government control of money lenders and credit cards who can bankrupt you, your children your friends and your neighbors because there are no government regulations to stop them?

The whole idea is ridiculous.But, here’s the thing, without the Fairness

Doctrine or anything like it in the media, The Tea Party can shout, “Less Government” as loud and as often as they want, but you and I have no voice to ask them, “Exactly what does that mean?”

The Republicans claim ‘Less Govern-ment Spending”. But we have no Freedom of Speech to demand that they explain, “Less government spending on what?”

Most people, regardless of political party affi liation, would agree that the politicians should reduce their own largess, benefi ts and compensation before they attack our veterans, our senior citizens, our class-room teachers and the sick and retirees.

But, without fairness, who speaks for us ?

Right now, that would be “No-one”.THE ECONOMY – As predicted in this

column last month, the Stock Market crashed to a Dow below 11,000. Then shot up hun-dreds of points with a short time. Now we can expect similar 200 – 300 point waves of optimism and pessimism every week or two. For long-term investors it has no effect. You continue to receive your dividends re-gardless.

To the speculators and day traders it’s super opportunity to trade in and out of the market and make a quick profi t on short-term trades.

What the hysterical media overlook when reporting something like, “The Dow crashed 400 points today”, like it’s the end of the world, is that, every share that was sold that day, was also PURCHASED by someone.

It’s not that complicated, Prices down = Buy! Prices up=sell.

Those Who Serve Our CountryERS OF WAR. The collected memoirs of 39 Brothers who survived Stalag 2B.

This book is mesmerizing, once you open the cover and start to read you cannot put the book down.

These 39 prisoners were marched into a prison labor camp in Burzen (Poland). These men lived together, worked together, and survived together. They each looked out for each other the same as brothers would. They survived starvation, illness and many horrors that will never be revealed.

To think that these 39 men had so little to eat that a pot of soup was made from melted snow and one potato. One piece of bread a day, that was leavened with saw dust not only to persevere it but to stretch it out. These WWII veterans are our hero’s. There are not many left , the years are catching

(Continued from Page 1) up with them. Their stories live on. Some-times it takes years for a veteran to open up and start talking about their experiences but once the stories start it is amazing what you can learn from them.

If ever you get the opportunity to be near a book store, stop in and pick up a copy of “BROTHERS OF WAR”, published by The Cheshire Press North Reading MA. Or check it out on line www.cheshirepress.com <http://www.cheshirepress.com/> . This is a book worth reading.

And, if you really want to learn more about the brave men and women who helped get us the freedom that we live by, spend some time talking with a veteran. There are not enough words in any language to thank them for what they have done and what they are doing for all of us.

Workhorse/WorkforceOur administration reminds me of the

following story:The workhorse and the Village! The Vil-

lage had one workhorse. The workhorse is the work animal that carries the water from the river to the villagers from two miles away.

The workhorse is the work animal that pulls the plow to plant the crops.

The workhorse carries the crops to the storage room.

The storage room was built with the trees that the workhorse pulled from the forest.

The workhorse also carries goods that the villagers trade for in the Village several miles away.

One day a villager who was a very good talker convinces the villagers that the work-horse if butchered would supply them with meat to eat for months.

So they did, the meat did not taste good but at the end of the meals the villagers were fat and happy. A short time later, they be-came the work animals and hard times fell upon the Village. It was many years before they could trade for another workhorse.

Our administration is doing the same thing to the working class people through taxation and control. The nonworking class is growing bigger but is being fed and have the same TVs, cars, homes as the working class. As the working class shrinks and the nonworking class grows they will eat the

Tom Loury

Publisher’s Notesworkhorse and the people will fall upon hard times.

The administration will still be fat and happy but the workers, what few are left, will be carrying the water, pulling the plows by hand, hauling goods on their backs until there is NO MORE WORKFORCE LEFT!

Remember what I said two years ago. The Robin Hood syndrome will not work. Taking from the rich and giving to the poor will only work for a short time, but remem-ber the fact that Robin Hood was a bandit.

****The previous brings me to the fact that

I predicted over four years ago that a third party will emerge. I think we are seeing the beginning stages of it in the Tea Party which was until recently non partisan. Now they are starting to take a shape and when it is finished they will win the next election and run the country and once again the people will rule!

Our two parties hate each other too much, they don’t understand they can’t build any-thing good on hate! Some Republicans and some Democrats will switch to the Tea Party and help save the country. The Tea Party (the people) took their own time and money to march on Washington to protest peacefully. Washington should have opened their eyes but they did not, they made excuses and called them names. The current adminis-tration is addicted to spending and it has to be stopped! I am not a Tea Party member but am watching them real close. They look more appealing every day. They are not left or right wing, they are the people of this great country and they are going to take their country back.

****

Our country is crumbling from corrup-tion. We need a strong leader with a plan and strong backing from the people. We can fix it if we go back to the basic fundamen-tals that we were founded on. Route out the corruption, expose it and deal with it legally. Set an example of those being a part of the corruption and others will think twice about doing that sort of thing.

****On the lighter side I received a press re-

lease from Camelot Senior Community that Helen Shuber turns 102 years young. Con-gratulations!

****I say close the boders until we get the

illegal problem solved. Make the English Language the only language used on signs and I don’t want to push one for english. Our culture is based on the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights ONLY!!!

Make a drug screen mandatory for all who serve as our leaders for any office in-cluding the President. Anyone receiving as-sistance of any kind must first pass a drug test. Stop all freebies to Non-Citizens.

Chief Ed Nathanson

. . . ASK THE CHIEF

Here are a few questions that our offi cers are asked on a daily basis while they con-duct traffi c stops. These questions and state-ments are made from all drivers, young and old, visitors and residents. “Why are you stopping me?, Don’t you have anything bet-ter to do?” and “Why don’t you stop a real criminal?”

Answer: Traffi c stops are an effective way for law enforcement offi cers to serve and protect. Effective stops will impact vio-lent crime, illegal drugs, and traffi c crashes.

Traffi c enforcement has a number of im-portant spin-off benefi ts:

1. Visible traffi c enforcement has a sym-bolic effect. When drivers see a marked po-lice unit working traffi c, they tend to slow down and pay more attention to their own driving.

2. Police visibility provides the driving public with a sense of security and they know that the police are on the job.

3. Criminals shy away from areas where they fear they may be stopped and discov-ered by an active traffi c patrol.

Our streets and highways are one place where both the good guys and the bad guys travel. Due to this we fi nd: stolen vehicles, wanted persons, drivers whose licenses have been suspended because of their unsafe driv-ing habits, abused and runaway children, il-legal weapons, drunken drivers and fl eeing criminals. Traffi c stops frequently lead to

arrests for more serious crimes. When it comes to traffi c, safety is the

name of the game and voluntary compliance is truly our goal. Unfortunately, enforce-ment is sometimes a necessary evil. I be-lieve that whenever traffi c laws are violated, especially a moving traffi c violation, there is a great potential that an accident will be the result. Roadway safety is the responsibility of all drivers.

Compliance to traffi c laws is the respon-sibility of each and every driver out there. As a rule, if you don’t want to be stopped by the police, then simply comply with all of the traffi c rules and regulations and chances are, you will never be stopped.

Now you will understand, when we’re asked, “Don’t you have anything better to do?” We will reply “No, we’re just out here to serve and protect, so may I see your driv-er’s license, vehicle registration and insur-ance card please?”

Always remember that together we can make a positive difference!

Until next time - Let’s be safe out there!Chief Ed Nathanson Lady Lake Police Department 423 Fennell Blvd. Lady Lake, Florida 32159 (352)751-1560 (352)751-1566 Fax [email protected] lakepd.org>

DR. DULGAR

The “George Burns” EffectLast month we talked about how chi-

ropractic “touch” sets up a window, so to

speak, into your brain and spinal cord that affects your health. We all know the ben-efi cial effects of touch in general, as with

children who are touched regularly having less illness and better psychological devel-opment. Chiropractic “touch” is specifi c and includes what are called neurovascu-lar, neurolymphatic, Nimmo receptor tonus points, trigger points, acupressure points, etc. But what sets chiropractic apart are the specifi c points along your spine and joints of the body that can be out of alignment - sub-luxations - where major nerve interference has its most devastating effect on the body. It is like the major terminal of an electrical box, with the circuit breakers being turned off. The specifi c chiropractic touch is called an adjustment or manipulation and releases nerve pressure that can cause pain, restricted motion, loss of coordination and balance, poor performance, muscle weakness, and/or a lack of a sense of well-being or relaxation. This specifi c touch is much like the specifi c touch that is required to play a musical in-strument to make the notes blend together in a cadence that makes it music to the ears rather than just bad sounds or noise.

It is sad to say, but research is telling us that this may be the fi rst younger generation that may not live as long as their parents. The funny thing about this is that we are in the middle of a technological boom, with more information out there on health and wellness than ever before. We are even developing ro-bots to be “human”. But technology, knowl-edge, and information are only as good as the people using it. And obviously we are not! In fact, I believe we are in an “infor-mation overload” that is actually affecting humanity adversely and numbing us out of our common sense. Take, for example, the drug ads on TV. Why do you think the drug companies are advertising drugs that, when you hear the potential side effects, can actu-ally be worse than what the drug is intended to help. The answer is something I would like to call “accommodation”. What is this? After a while, you get used to the ads and just accept the negative side effects. And let me give you a simple example that I see

every day in my offi ce. Many times when you hurt yourself it is very painful at fi rst, but then over time the pain seems to subside and eventually may even seem to go away. Not so fast my friend! You see, your body attempts to heal itself but without specifi c help your body will “accommodate” to the pain. This sets up a physiological pattern that may eventually come back to haunt you later, as you may just sneeze or turn wrong, and there’s the pain again, and usually even worse than before, for you have not correct-ed the initial problem.

And what does this have to do with “The George Burns Effect”? Hopefully you all know of the comedy team of George Burns and Grace Allen from years past. For the right type of humor physiologically and psychologically sparks communication be-tween your right and left brain and creates the “aHa’s” in the wake of the “ha-ha’s”. This is another way of opening the window into your brain and spinal cord to integrate the whole body and allow you to be as well as you can be given the cards you have been dealt! It was Norman Cousins who fi rst made this connection known to the general public in recent times. We utilize humor in our offi ce to allow your body to receive as much of the benefi cial effects of the chiro-practic care as possible with each treatment. So next month we will discuss this in detail and even talk of Red Skelton and other co-medic greats of the past that didn’t have to use four letter words to be funny like many use today!

“You can’t believe everything you see; you can’t believe everything you hear; therefore, you can’t believe everything you think!”

Human traffi cking is a big problem on the Mexican border. Recently over 1,000 people were arrested on human traffi cking charges.

We did not hear about the victim, just the criminals. It is thought that the women ar-rested were victims themselves and were threatened and coerced into working in the business.

The women and children are the victims and after the arrest we don’t hear anything about them. Many were smuggled into the United States to work in Brothels across the country.

Mexico needs to pass laws to combat this growing business. The United States needs to get tougher on the men who are the “de-mand”. Most of the men don’t realize who they are dealing with. In many cases they are dealing with ruthless drug dealers who have killed more than 3000 people in one small mexican town on the border last year. That could happen to them and probably has.

Lake CountyThird Annual Walk 4 Animals to Help Local Shelters Survive Diffi cult Econo-

myMany animal rescues and shelters are hit

hard by tragedies of the national recession. Families are giving up their beloved pets – unable to pay for essential food and medical care. The shelters are then forced to care for more animals as – in some cases – their own charitable contributions continue to shrink.

That’s where Leesburg’s Third Annual Walk 4 Animals can provide much needed support by encouraging all types of pet lovers to get out and walk for this worthy cause.

This year’s event will be the biggest yet with demonstrations from service and police dogs, a pet costume contest, displays, ven-dors and various pets available for adoption. A special guest is Jasper – a two-year-old Siamang ape from the Animal Preservation and Education Sanctuary.

Walk 4 Animals’ main feature is a lei-surely 1-mile stroll for sponsored pets and owners through Leesburg’s scenic Palmora

Park neighborhood. The event will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday,

Oct. 15th at Ski Beach near Venetian Gar-dens in Leesburg. For more information, call (352) 455-1025 or visit www.walk4animals.com <http://www.walk4animals.com> .

“With the economy the way it is, some shelters are having a hard time fi nding homes for pets,” said Bruce Ericson, direc-tor of Leesburg’s Parks and Recreation De-partment. “It’s so important to raise money for the shelters and to help them get expo-sure for some very deserving pets that are available for adoption.”

Walk 4 Animals benefi ts over 10 differ-ent animal rescues throughout Lake and sur-rounding counties. Participants raise pledges for their pet walk, and they can decide which shelters receive the proceeds. The more the better – teams are encouraged from schools, neighborhoods, businesses, community or-ganizations and veterinary practices. Pledge forms can be found at www.walk4animals.com <http://www.walk4animals.com> .

Prizes will be awarded for the most pledges raised by individuals and groups.

By Steve ErlingerTuesday morning, July 5, a beautiful

morning, even by Florida standards. The day after a gorgeous three-day holiday weekend. The alarm goes off at the usual 6 a.m., not that I really needed it. I have been getting up every morning between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. for the past nine years since we established, expanded, and lately, battled to make Home-town News the No. 1 community newspaper group in America and successful.

Most mornings I get up, grab the compe-tition, (the daily) and sit on our back patio to see if there is any national news I didn’t see on TV the day before and who might be marketing with them that should be with us. Then I get ready for another great day at Hometown News.

This morning would be different. A morning that would change my family’s lives forever.

So, I get up at 6, grab my pants and head out to the kitchen to make my one and only morning cup of coffee. On the way through the house, the doorbell rings. I’m still a little groggy, and I think, who could be ringing the doorbell at 6 a.m. in the morning?

I look through the peephole, still a little blurry as it takes a few minutes to get these ‘ol eyes in focus, but I see a big guy, in some kind of uniform with a shaved head. Um?

Why would UPS be delivering a package at 6 a.m. in the morning? So I open the door ...

It’s an Indian River County Sheriff’s Deputy. My heart starts to beat. What could he want from me? I step out, he looks at me and says, “Sir, do you have a son?”

“Yea.”“Does he have curly, kinda bushy hair?”“Yea, what’s up?”“It’s not good sir. He’s dead.”“What?” I reply. No way, Austin is up-

stairs sleeping, I think to myself.“Do you have a motorcycle sir?”“Yea.”“Is it a Honda CR100?”“Yea,” I reply, as my heart starts to fl y

and my mind goes in circles.“Sir, your son is dead. He collided with

a vehicle at the intersection down the road at about 3:45 this morning.” I’m ... I’m, I’m stunned. I run to the front of the garage and try desperately to remember the code to open it. My hands are shaking and after three tries, I fi nally get the correct code. As the door slowly starts to open I duck under at the fi rst opportunity and run to the back of the garage where I am sure I will see the mo-torcycle. WHAT? WHAT? WHERE IS THE MOTORCYCLE? I run back to the front of the house where I had left the offi cer.

The Loss of My Son At this moment my beautiful wife, Aus-tin’s mother, has gotten up after hearing the doorbell and steps out of the house. She looks at me with a fear I have never seen be-fore, anywhere, and asks cautiously, “What’s up, Steve?”

As I turned to look at her, she could see the sheer agony and pain and confusion that was on my face, she screams, “WHAT?, WHAT IS WRONG?” I look into her eyes and with what I am sure was the most scared and sorrow-fi lled face she has ever seen, I said, “Austin is dead.”

The rest of our lives will never, ever be the same from that moment on.

One or two days ago, depending on when exactly you are reading this, we laid our 16-year-old son to rest.

16! 16! How could this happen to us? How could this happen to Austin? Why?! Why?! Why?!

Friends, readers, the point of this col-umn is not just to share with you our mis-fortune and what is, unquestionably, the worst experience a person could ever have to go through. It is to try to get you and or your children to look at this experience and learn from it. If we can affect just one deci-sion, one choice, save just one life and the years of agony that follow, it will be worth the space we have allotted for this column a million times over.

For those of you fortunate enough to not have gone through the loss of a child, God bless you. Thank your lucky stars and do ev-erything in your power to make sure it stays that way. Unfortunately, it is not always in your power.

I knew I wasn’t ever going to be father of the year. I work too much, too long and

have put most of my energies these past nine years into trying to make, and then keep, our company, Hometown News, growing and successful. Now, my wife, on the other hand, is Mother of the Year. She took care of our son, as well as me, got up every morn-ing of the school year with Austin. Made him breakfast and made sure he was ready to take on the day. Would take him to whatever event or activity he needed to be, took ball room dance lessons with him. Make sure his homework was done. All of the usual things a “Mother of the Year” would do. I would usually catch him on the way out of the house in the morning, with my daily words of encouragement: “Have a great, positive day today. Try to make at least one person smile and make the right choices, Austin. I love you.” Then off he would go.

Austin wasn’t a perfect teenager. Well, yeah he was. He was a straight-A student, though he didn’t always get straight-A’s. He was the kindest, most caring, sweet, mature, giving and thoughtful young man most of my friends and associates that met him had ever seen. Yet, he was still a 16-year-old boy. I remember when I was 16. Tough time for all teens. New school, new people, new opportunities. Halfway between being a kid and being an adult. Tough times.

Austin was a kid who would try anything. Over the years he played soccer, football, baseball, took karate, ballroom dancing lessons with his mother, boxing, up at Mc-Quirt’s Gym, was a certifi ed scuba diver, took singing lessons, acting lessons; was a fairly skilled marksman. He was a member of the Vero Beach High School Choir and Show Chorus, could hit a golf ball nearly

The Loss of My Son300 yards, straight, and could skate on any-thing with one, two, three or four wheels and was one of the best hockey players for his age you will ever see. He also enjoyed his dirt bike motorcycle.

Through it all, in the short periods of time I could spend with him, I continued to im-press upon him the importance of making the right choices.

Things aren’t the same today as when I was 16. The consequences of your actions are a lot more severe and the margin for er-ror has nearly disappeared. I discussed with him many times the fact that one bad deci-sion could change your life.

Over the past year or so, Austin made a couple bad choices. Decided to try smoking cigarettes, busted. Stayed out too late once, busted. Sneaked out of the house to see his girlfriend, busted. Each time he would be grounded for a week or a month or so. And he would have to endure the lectures from Dad: “You have to make the right choices, one wrong decision could change your life and all those around you.”

The morning of July 5, Austin made one bad choice. Now, I am sure he didn’t think it was really, “that bad of a choice.” He was restless, couldn’t sleep, (that’s what sleeping till after noon will do to kids) and thought he just might go ahead and visit a friend with whom he had been texting. Heck, it’s just down the road, what could it hurt?

I am also equally as sure that Austin knew, yes, he knew in his heart and head that

(Continued from Page 10) if his dad or mom caught him going out of the house at 1 a.m., he would be in trouble. (For the teenagers reading, this is the fi rst sign that it is a bad choice) But, hey, it’s 1 a.m. He could be back well before Dad had to get up for work. No harm, no foul.

So Austin opens the garage door, walks his motorcycle out and down the road a bit, gets on, starts her up and away he goes.

We are not completely sure how the story goes from here, but apparently he went to a friend’s house for a couple of hours, hangs out, chats, has a few laughs, talks about the future, (tomorrow) and heads home.

Well, somewhere between home and his friends house, Austin, riding a dirt bike with no lights, no helmet, just the wind blowing in his beautiful, full, luscious curly hair, en-joying a warm summer night and the only other vehicle within miles met at an inter-section.

The poor man driving the van never saw Austin. Scouting the intersection, I am equally sure that Austin never saw the van, until the last second of his life. Fortunately for Austin, the impact instantly sent him to heaven. Unfortunately for the man driving the van, for Austin’s family and friends, we will suffer for a long time, some of us for-ever.

I know Austin did not do this on purpose. He did not mean to nearly destroy our lives. He was far too caring, considerate, loving and kind.

He made a bad decision. A really freak-ing bad decision. In life, sometimes that is

all you get, one chance to make the right decision. You never know when that chance is. It could be today, tonight, tomorrow or in 10 years. If you push your luck, if you keep making bad decisions, it will catch up to you.

Some of us have been lucky. I know that I have had more than my share of luck. But a long time ago, after surviving some pretty stupid stunts, I vowed to always make the right decision. I tried to instill this into my boy. I wish I had done a better job.

****

Publishers Note: I have known Steve Er-linger for many years. He is a cool guy and a good friend. I can’t imagine going through the loss of one of my sons. I feel his pain and if this story touches someone’s heart and they work a little harder to instill in their sons and daughters that decisions have consequences and that a small mistake can end their life and maybe one of their friends, then it’s worth running the story.

Steve, brother I feel for you. TomL

By Tom LouryThe President’s bus tour: While telling

the people to buy fuel effi cient cars, our president bought two 1.1 million dollar bus-es (2.2 million) for his bus tour with tax pay-er money from Canada, not from the U.S.

One of the buses is loaded on Airforce One, fl own to fi rst location and unloaded at the airport where the bus tour will start, the president arrives later on a second Air Force One plane. They tour and while the tour is going on with bus one, bus two is fl own on Air Force One to a second location where the second half of the tour will take place and the president arrives on another Air Force One and does the second leg of the tour. Talk about a Foot Print!

The president fl ies back and is exhausted, so he takes two weeks off and fl ies on Air Force One to Martha’s Vineyard while the Stock Market is crashing all on tax payer money while he tell the tax payers to con-

serve.The Democratic Party needs to fi nd an-

other candidate, this one is changing the face of the Democratic Party, what it stands for. His deeds are changing the World. The current president is not re-electable because of the message he sends. I honor the presi-dent’s position, I mean no disrespect to the offi ce, but the messages and the deeds from the current president does not fi t our free country.

My message for the Democratic Party is get a new candidate for president, pref-erably someone who love this country and freedom.

The environmentalists’ regulations are stifl ing our growth. Drop some of the regu-lations and lower the taxes for manufacturers and we will bring our jobs back to America.

I love my country and I hate to see it de-teriorating. Vote on deeds and not on prom-ises!

4 Things you might not have known about your Cell Phone

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST (Emergency) The Emergency Number worldwide for

Mobile is 112. If you fi nd yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and

there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mo-bile will search any existing network to es-tablish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND (Hidden Battery Power) Imagine your cell battery is very low. To

activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in bat-tery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

THIRD (How to disable a STOLEN mo-bile phone? )

To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following Digits on your

Unknown Cell Phone Advantages phone: *#06# . A 15-digit code will ap-pear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

If your phone is stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

And Finally.... FOURTH (Free Directory Service for

Cells) Cell phone companies are charging us

$1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don’t have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our ve-hicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE411 or (800) 373-3411 without incur-ring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

This is sponsored by McDonalds.

(Family Features) Healthy eating and great entertaining can go hand in hand when you have a few delicious tricks up your sleeve.

Appetizers, tapas, hors d’oeuvres - whatever you want to call them, small bites are a great way to help control portions while putting big fl avor on the plate. Here are some ideas for a small bites menu that will leave guests so sat-isfi ed they might not even realize just how good they’re really eating.

-Raid the farmers market. Fresh pro-duce looks, smells and tastes fantastic. Set out a colorful veggie tray, some berry skewers with a Greek yogurt and honey dip, and a bright caprese salad. You can even make a beautiful center-piece with fragrant citrus in a pretty bowl.

-Make your own dips. When you make it yourself, you can control what goes in it. Try making a black bean sal-sa, fresh guacamole, savory hummus, or your own olive tapenade. You can adjust recipes for a lower fat content or lower sodium and still make sure they taste great.

-Embrace whole grains. From br-uschetta breads and grain-based sal-ads to crunchy dippers and ingredients in heartier recipes, whole grains add great taste and good nutrition. These party-friendly recipes use the natural whole grain goodness of Roman Meal bread to put a delicious spin on some traditional favorites, while also adding good-for-you complex carbohydrates and fi ber.

16th Annual Fishing Derby Tempers Flare with School Board MeetingMarion County School BoardBy Tom LouryI recently read an article that was in the

Ocala Star Banner, Thursday April 15, 2010 front page about Jackie Porter and the School Superintendent Yancey. If you look at the ar-ticle it is reported with Jackie Porter’s alle-ged file and the story is presented like a fe-deral court case. The interesting fact is there were no quotes from Jackie Porter and no remarks from her defending herself. It’s not because she refused to remark but in fact, she was never asked or interviewed for this story. That bothers me more than any of the following comments. I believe that everyone should have the right to defend themselves in print.

I feel somewhat responsible for some of the friction between the School Board and Jackie Porter. With the School Board, as elected officials, you would not have ex-pected a reaction like this. Elected officials give up their privacy and are fair game for any questions that comes your way. Jackie Porter said she sent Mr. Yancey a personal email asking about a sensitive question. Was it his son-in-law that was promoted to an ad-ministrative job? If the question had been anawered it would have stopped right the-re. Somehow it was brought into the school board meeting and tempers flared. I say Ja-ckie Porter was elected to watch out for our tax dollar as well as is the rest of the School Board.

We all have a personal stake in this, OUR

Jackie Porter


To the editorAfter reading the article in the Orlando

Sentinel, March 10, entitled “Your Law-makers Aren’t Tightening Their Belts” I saw red. Could the members of Congress, and I mean both the Democrats and Republicans, be more out of touch with their constituents and the hardships they are facing? When federal lawmakers vote themselves a 5 per-cent increase while families are enduring job losses, home foreclosures, 2.56 million Flo-ridians on food stamps, the U.S. banks have had their sharpest decline in lending since 1942 and the worst economy that America has seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s you know for sure that Congress is totally out to lunch. Foreclosures are up 6% over last year and the average unemploy-ment rate in Florida at 12.2 percent is worse than the national average at 9.7 percent. Osceola and Lake County have the highest

unemployment rates at 13.5 percent among Central Florida counties. Flagler County at 17.1 percent has the states highest unem-ployment rate. What jobs has the stimulus package that was passed last year created? As I see it, the only thing it has created is more and more government and increased our debt. In addition, we now have this huge health care bill that even those who voted for it don‘t know whats in it that everyone will have to pay for. Its time the members of Congress were in touch with their constitu-ents and the hardships they are facing, were made accountable for their actions or voted out of office.

RAK ********To the Village SpectatorThe article by Charlette Poss, “Your

Health”, was one of the best I’ve read con-


TAX money. Many of us have been prea-ching “buy local”. This story started when many businesses, elected officials and orga-nizations started encouraging people to buy local. I’m sure you have seen some of the buy local campaigns. The county is taking pride in their buy local efforts and they are buying local, but a small segment appears not to be.

At a meeting I was hearing complaints from businessman Doctor R. Ronald Cor-bett, owner of Ink Solutions who talked about his recent experience in his attempt at a bid on a $200,000 plus contract with the school system. Corbett said he went through all the paperwork and met all the regula-


The Senior Fishing Derby broke all re-cords. Hundreds turned out for the 16th annual Senior Fishing Derby, co-hosted by TomL Publishing and the City of Ocala Parks and Recreation Department.

Dozens of fisherman/women in wheel-chairs and walkers showed up to fish.

We have never had better weather - it was perfect. The fish were biting slow but there were fish there. There was so many people we may have made the fish skittish. Fish were caught and released. The big fish was a keeper size bass and the winner was Priscilla

Chamber Breakfast

The chamber breakfast was sponsored by Project Legacy, a group of churches, civic organi-zations and businesses that raise money for children’s issues. Please find above photo from the chamber breakfast with, on Left, Sidney Brock, Heritage Community Church (a member of Project Legacy), Dr. Susan Moxley, Superintendent of Lake County Schools center, and Karen Mercer of Brown & Brown Insurance, right. Dr. Susan Moxley spoke to the attending crowd on “The State of our Local Education System in Lake County as it Relates to the Northern Lake County Area”. Dr. Moxley also highlighted the importance of partnerships among local businesses, civic groups, churches and individu-als to help address the needs of children within their community while leveraging resources to help meet those needs.

Lady Lake Chamber Expo

Letter from TNIn my opinion this bill that passed is ille-

gally. They have beat up, threatened, bribed everyone they think they can get away with to reach a vote to win Obamacare. Marco Rubio, a Florida candidate is starting a peti-tion to recall, throw out or what ever it is called when something illegal is put back right. Some 38 states are postering for a bat-tle over the healthcare bill, they will never quit, I continue to voice your and my opin-ion and vote accordingly in the next election

and every election in the future.I was sitting in my living room listening

to this great orator and the people who are surrounding him. The people who are not around him are the people that are going to pay the bill. If you listen to you can only think that he really believes he is right. Economist all over the world say his is wrong. Some of the top 5 employers say there will be thou-sands of their employees out of work. Cat-apillar says it will cost them

The attendance was good. A slow moving crowd flowed through the expo, never end-ing but then about closing time it stopped.

The vendors did well and no complaints from the visitors.

Budget deficitMany Democrats talk about Obama in-

heriting a huge deficit from Bush, so let take a short history lesson.

Budgets come from Congress not the White House. The Democratic party has controlled Congress since January 2007. They controlled the budget process for 2008 and 2009, as well as 2010. In that first year, the Dems had to contend with Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush belatedly got tough on spend-ing increases. For 2009, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep gov-ernment running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a mas-sive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.

Where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let‘s look at what the deficits was during that period.

The Democrats did not inherited any def-icit, the 2007 deficit, the last of the Repub-lican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.

What Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January

School Board Turmoilby Tom LouryAnother flare-up in the school board

chambers. You’ve got to give Jackie Porter credit for being gutsy. A lone vote not to approve $500,000 for new roofs for three buildings at Dunnellon High school. This writer lived in Dunnellon and heard teach-ers and people around town talking about how fast the construction was going bad in-cluding talk about the roof leaking. I believe there was talk about the roof leaking before it was eight years old. Back then there was a decision to look into it. Matter of fact I think Bobby James was the principal back then and he is now part of the School Board, why don’t they ask him? The roof was prob-ably patched. Who was the contractor? What was the warranty? The current School Board is not responsible for what happened that many years ago but I think it is their respon-

sibility to make things right especially when they are spending the tax payers’ money.

What can they do? Talk to their attorneys and ask what legally can be done and come out with a statement. The statute of limita-tions probably ran out.

Jackie Porter is asking these questions wanting answers and she is being ridiculed for it. Yes the if the roof is leaking it needs

Progress Energy Speaker A New Philly Is Born

A philly born this morning on the Loury Ranch. Pictured is Lindsay Sykes holding her philly just hours old. To be fair the light spots on the new philly is the sun coming through the trees, but she is colorful and already likes people. The coldest or near coldest day of the year, 20 degrees at daylight she was found prancing in the pasture next to her mother.

“The Party of No”On November 18, 2009, Senate Major-

ity Leader Harry Reid unveiled the Senate’s health care reform legislation. Unlike the health care bill passed in the House of Rep-resentatives, Senator Reid’s proposal would allow the

Secretary of Health and Human Servic-

es to include coverage of elective abortion services in the government-run health care reform.

I am the Party of No. No to being forced to pay for someone’s abortion. No to gov-ernment-run health care insurance. No to Democrats’ closed door pork barreling


Pictured is Tom Loury of TomL Publishing and Jerry Miller of Progress Energy. Jerry was the guest speaker at the Lady Lake Chamber breakfast meeting. Jerry pointed out many thing that the business people did not, but the thing that impressed me most was the jobs the building of the new Nuc plants would bring to an area. The new Crystal River Plant would bring upwards to 8,000 for approximately 8 years. You can just imagine what 20 Nuc plants would bring to the US economy.
