FHP says 4 died in crash By STEVEN RICHMOND [email protected]BAKER COUNTY — The Florida Highway Patrol said Tuesday that a media release sent Monday to area news outlets was in error and that four people died in a head-on collision on US 90 Monday morning. FHP also released more details surrounding the rescue of the lone survivor of the accident, who was pulled from an overturned, burning SUV by local law enforce- ment. According to FHP, a silver 2009 Toyota Camry drifted into the lane of oncoming traffic and struck a blue 2004 Ford Expedition head- on around 9:00 a.m. Monday. The report listed three fatali- ties: Maria Angela Gomez Perez, 31, passenger of the Camry, an unknown driver of the Camry and an unknown occupant in the Expedition. However, FHP Troop G Public Affairs Officer Sgt. Dylan Bryan said there was a second occupant of the Expedition not listed in the report, even though early, on- scene reports from FHP indicated four fatalities. “The investigating officer did not put ‘unknown’ or ‘pending’ on the second page [of the release]” Previous media release was in error; details of rescue made public. CRASH continued on 3A Fund to support officer’s children By STEVEN RICHMOND [email protected]The children of fallen LCPD Officer Brandi Jackson will be sup- ported through a memorial fund set up in their mother’s name, Jackson’s family said Tuesday. Jackson’s mother Sharolyn Krieghauser, grandmother to Avah Jackson, 4, and Alivia Jackson, 2- and-a-half, said 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the children’s liv- ing expenses and education. She also said she will adopt the children and serve as their legal guardian. “We’ve just been grieving the past 12 days since the accident,” Krieghauser said, sitting in the liv- ing room where Jackson was raised. “It’s still hard to accept that she’s not with us anymore.” Jamie Nichols, Jackson’s grand- mother, passed a box of tissues to Krieghauser while family members discussed other relatives who lost their lives to accidents. “We don’t know if we should just stay home or what,” Nichols said, glancing at nearby room where Jackson’s daughters and niece were playing together. “But we don’t. We take it day by day and we do it all for those little ones in there.” According to the family, Jackson did not qualify for life insurance dur- ing her brief two month, two week tenure with LCPD. Grandparents Bill and Jamie Nichols covered the full expense of the funeral while LCPD made all arrangements. “That was her second family,” Bill Nichols said. “We can’t say enough about Chief [Argatha] Gilmore and the Lake City Police Department. They were, and are still, outstanding with their help for the families. Mark Hunter, our sheriff, he’s the same way. Those two agencies were fantas- tic in helping them because they stick together when it’s one of their own.” Outside law enforcement, mem- bers of the public have already began contributing to the family. Krieghauser smiled as she held a small posterboard covered with well- wishes and blessings from residents and children in the Dante Terrace neighborhood where Jackson lost her life. “They already donated $360,” Krieghauser said. “We don’t know these people, but they donated toward the fund anyway. We can’t thank them enough.” Mary Ann Sellers, Jackson’s aunt, said she and the family were in the process of organizing a 5K run for adults and children, honoring Jackson’s commitment to physical fitness and running.

FORT LAUDERDALE — The wife of convicted Ponzi scheme operator Scott Rothstein was sen-tenced to 18 months in federal prison Tuesday for trying to hide and sell $1 million in jewelry that fed-eral agents sought to con-fiscate as ill-gotten gains.
U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenbaum sentenced Kim Rothstein, 39, after prosecutors and her lawyer both appealed for leniency. Kim Rothstein has been cooperating extensively with investigators since her arrest and said she was ready to pay the price for trying to keep some of the profits from her husband’s $1.2 billion fraud racket.
“I’m grateful to have a chance to start my life again,” said Kim Rothstein, telling the judge her life had “unraveled in such a horrific fashion.” She added, “I’m willing to serve my time with dignity.”
Vets offered truck for funerals
VENICE — A southwest Florida funeral home is offering an unusual assort-ment of antique vehicles in place of a hearse for a fare-well ride to the cemetery.
The Farley Funeral Home in Venice has a World War II-era Dodge military truck with large white stars on its doors and a World War II-era Jeep. David Farley says his funeral home is the only one in Florida known to offer veterans a military-themed funeral procession.
He tells the Sarasota Herald-Tribune that up to 60 families in the last three years have chosen the “Veteran Farewell Ride” for their loved ones.
Kevin Lynch chose that ride for the funeral of his father Walter last year.
Walter Lynch fought in the Army during World War II, and his son said he would have appreciated the unusual funeral procession.
“It was quite a sight, particularly with the flag-draped casket in the open,” Lynch said. “As we drove from the funeral home on the island, people on the sidewalk were quite shocked. One man took off his hat and saluted, another put his hand to his heart.”
The funeral home also has a 1937 Ford hearse that Farley envisions being followed by a procession of antique cars for an auto aficionado.
There’s also an Eimco Power Horse farm tractor that uses reins instead of a steering wheel. It was one of 300 made between 1937 and 1942.
Farley envisions the tractor leading a funeral procession for a farmer.
Search continues for missing family
DELTONA — A Texas
search group says it has found debris, illegal hunt-ing stands and homeless camps, but not the bod-ies of a missing central Florida woman and her two children.
Texas Equusearch has joined the search for Yessenia Suarez and her two children, 9-year-old Thalia Otto and 8-year-old Michael Otto. Equusearch volunteer Bonnie Williamson tells the The Daytona Beach News-Journal that roughly two dozen people searched the woods around Deltona on Monday without suc-cess.
The family hasn’t been seen since Oct. 23. Suarez’ husband, Luis Toldeo, faces a second-degree murder charge after he confessed to killing her. He has told deputies he didn’t kill the children.
Volusia County authori-ties say they’re making arrangements for Toledo to meet in jail with a pastor.
Wahlbergs to star in restaurant showNEW YORK
A&E network is feasting on the Wahlberg broth-ers, who will star in a new reality show titled, “Wahlburgers,” and set
in the family’s Boston restaurant.For the show, actor brothers Mark
and Donnie Wahlberg head back to their hometown to join forces with older brother Paul in the hamburger venture.
A&E says all eyes will be on these Wahlbergs, who are determined to make their restaurant brand a success in Boston and beyond. Now they just have to agree on a second location.
“Wahlburgers” is set to premiere Jan. 22.
Police: NYC shooter was dumped from band
NEW YORK — A gunman who killed three Iranian indie rock musi-cians and injured a fourth person inside a Brooklyn apartment on Monday before killing himself was upset because he had been kicked out of another band last year, police said.
Ali Akbar Mahammadi Rafie killed himself on the roof after strug-gling with a member of his former band, the Free Keys, police said. Investigators believe a guitar case found on an adjoining roof may have been used to carry the assault rifle used in the attack.
Rafie, 29, “was upset that he wasn’t in the band anymore,” said New York Police Department spokesman John McCarthy. Investigators sus-pect the shooter and his former Free Keys band mates may have had an argument over money, he added.
Two of Rafie’s victims were broth-ers and members of the Yellow Dogs, a band that came to the U.S. from Iran three years ago after appearing in a film about the under-ground music scene there, according to band manager Ali Salehezadeh.
The third person killed was a musi-cian but not in the Yellow Dogs band, Salehezadeh said.
iTunes allows donations for typhoon relief
NEW YORK — Apple is giving iTunes users a chance to donate to relief efforts for the typhoon tragedy in the Philippines.
Users can go to the iTunes store to donate to the American Red Cross; funds raised will go to help the Asian nation, which has been devastated by Typhoon Haiyan (HY’-ahn). The official death toll is over 1,700, but as many as 10,000 are feared dead and more than 9 million people have been affected.
iTunes has done the same to raise funds for those affected by other tragedies, most recently for Superstorm Sandy. Apple says it
was able to donate $2.5 million for Sandy relief based on donations from iTunes users and its own employees.
Apple said Tuesday it didn’t have a specific end-date for the campaign.

FGC registration opens today for spring semesterFrom staff reports
Registration for the Spring 2014 semester at Florida Gateway College begins today.
Students already enrolled at the college can begin reg-istering for classes today. Registration for classes can be done online at www.fgc.edu or by calling 754-4205.
Fees, due by Tuesday, December 17, can be paid online or by calling the Cashier’s office during nor-mal business hours at (386) 754-4211. For registration after December 17, full pay-ment of fees is required the same day as registration.
“Registration is always a great time of the year, whether in the fall or spring, because it’s a time for stu-dents to decide what their course load is going to be,” said Dr. Charles Hall, pres-ident of Florida Gateway College. “Whether they are working toward transfer-ring to a university, finish-ing their degree at FGC, or just a personal interest course, registrations gives them time to take a look at their past classes and what they may want to take,
what they need to take, and what they have to take to complete their degree or certification.
“In some cases, it’s the first contact they’ve had with our college - it’s a new begin-ning for them,” he said. “In others, its a continuation or adjustment. Every semester, they have the opportunity to continue what they’re doing or adjust what they’re doing to reach their goals. The college staff always stands ready to help students enter, re-enter, or adjust their pro-gram to make sure their goals are met.”
Students must be enrolled at FGC before registration can take place. The admis-sion application deadline is December 6. Prospective students can complete an application online at www.fgc.edu. Required as part of the admission require-ments are the completed application, government issued photo ID, official high school transcripts (if applicable for program), and residency require-ments for in-state tuition assessment.
Scholarship applications for student loans is Friday.

Shands Lake Shore Hospital Authority officials are discussing the possibil-ity of keeping next year’s millage rate at the current level after they learned they have more than $900,000 in unexpected funds.
Jack Berry, Hospital Authority executive direc-tor, informed board mem-bers about $902,845 that the Authority will now be able to put into reserves.
The sum comes from two sources. The first source was $424,000 that was reim-bursed to the Authority for an over payment.
“Then we saved $501,845 in our hospital services pro-grams (clinical fund, oper-ating fund and hospital ser-vices fund),” Berry said.
A big part of realizing the savings through the hospital’s programs was reducing the number of hospital authority clients making emergency room visits from approxi-mately 300 visits per month to 44 visits per month.
“It’s been a totally retraining process,” Berry said. “When I instituted this program of pri-mary care, we’ve got people going to a doctor on a rou-tine basis, getting them on
their medications and we fill their prescriptions for them. I said in the beginning when I brought this program to the board it’s going to save us money. Well guess what — it’s saving us money.”
Several board members indicated the $900,000 that going into the reserves gives the board a leg up on keep-ing the .962 millage rate for the 2014-15 fiscal budget.
“We’re already thinking about being able to keep some of the next year’s millage at the same as this year,” Marc Vann said.
The board began the meeting by holding its final 2013-14 millage rate and budget adoption.
Although the budget and millage rate were adopted near the end of September, the Department of Revenue informed the board that the advertisement referencing the millage rate had errors and the final budget meet-ing needed to take place again. The board, following a public hearing that lasted less than 20 minutes, made the corrections and adopt-ed the .962 millage rate and adopted a $9.2 million fiscal budget for the year.
In other business, the board discussed schedul-ing a public hearing on Jan. 13 to get input on wheth-er the hospital should be sold. Board member Lory Chancey said she does not want to sell the hospital.
More than $900,000 in unexpected funds added to reserves.
710 SW Symphony Loop, was charged with speeding, reckless driving, and flee-ing and eluding in connec-tion with the case. She was booked into the Columbia County Detention Facility on $6,000 bond.
According to reports, Deputy Chad Guerry’s radar clocked a black pas-senger car in the approach-ing lane traveling 82 mph in a 45-mph-traffic zone.
When Guerry attempted to conduct a traffic stop, he noted the car appeared to be increasing its speeds in an attempt to get away from him, the report said.
He then pursued the vehicle down Northeast Washington Street before the car made an abrupt right turn onto Northeast Williams Street and came
to a complete stop.Gainer was then taken
to jail without incident, reports said.

Columbia County bridge to be repaintedFrom staff reports
The State Road 136 bridge over the Suwannee River in Columbia County is being repainted as part of a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) project to clean and repaint four bridges in three counties which began Monday, October 21. Work is scheduled to begin on the State Road 136 bridge November 18.
In Gilchrist County, the Santa Fe River bridges on State Road 47 and
U.S. 129, as well as the U.S. 27 bridge over the Santa Fe River in Alachua County are also part of the repainting project.
Lane closures will be limited and only necessary when crews and equipment need to be near the edge of each bridge. Most of the work will occur between the water line and the bottom of the bridge deck.
Rust is being removed, the bridge structures cleaned and then repaint-ed. Crews are expected to work
seven days a week, beginning work at 8:30 a.m. and working until dusk.
Monoko, LLC of Tarpon Springs has been hired by FDOT to complete the work on all four bridges for $1.8 million. The project is scheduled for completion next summer, barring bad weather and other unforeseen conditions.
For additional information regard-ing this project or other FDOT projects around Northeast Florida, visit www.nflroads.com or call 800-475-0044.
to indicate a fourth fatality, Bryan said, noting there was never confusion on FHP’s part as to the num-ber of victims.
FHP said they have dis-covered neither the identity of the Expedition’s two pas-sengers nor the Camry’s driver.
Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the Camry to cross the center line and strike the Expedition.
The results of alcohol and drug tests are still pending.
The driver of the Expedition and sole survi-vor of the crash, Lake City resident Vivian Leland, 55, was airlifted from the scene with critical injuries that were later downgrad-
ed to non-life threatening serious status as she was being treated at UF Health in Gainesville, according to Bryan.
“She was screaming for help with fire on her per-son,” Bryan said, describ-ing the scene. Leland’s vehicle rolled over and came to rest upside down before authorities arrived. According to wit-nesses, deputy Darr yl Mobley extinguished the flames on Leland, cut her seatbelt and pulled her through the driver’s side window of the vehicle to safety.
“He was the first one there. He cut [Leland] out and really saved her life,” Baker County Sherif f Joey Dobson said. “We’re so proud of him. We have jobs to do and he did his.”
Columbia County School Board addressed a number of matters dur-ing the Board Meeting on Tuesday night in the School Board Administrative Complex.
The meeting ended without much discussion on the topics included in the agenda, but one con-cerned citizen suggested the board increase securi-ty at Challenge Learning Center in Lake City.
The board asked administration to con-sider adding a full-time school resource officer to the campus.
Topics approved dur-ing the meeting:
• $5,000 donation
from PCS Admin (USA) and $1,000 donaton from Florida Power and Light Co. to the Columbia High School Robotics Team
• Approval of setting a public hearing on Dec. 10, 2013, for several revised policy amend-ments, including board meetings, flag display and pledge, public infor-mation and inspection of records, responsibilities of school bus operators, automotive equipment and distribution of litera-ture to students
• Approve the I n t e r i n s t i t u t i o n a l Articulation Agreement between the Columbia County School District and Florida Gateway College.
It’s part of our county, part of our culture – and we have come to expect excellence every time.
So it was again this year.The folks who put on the 2013 Columbia
County Fair truly outdid themselves, and deserve our thanks.
But this kind of success doesn’t come easy, and don’t they know it.
Steve Briscoe, Linda Dowling and count-less others who played parts large and small deserve our heartfelt thanks.
Great job, ladies and gentlemen.Just as we’ve come to expect.

‘Entitlements’ aren’t what some thinkTo the Editor:
Thank you for printing the arti-cle “SNAP Benefits Decrease Nov. 1” in the October 27 edition of the paper. I realize our economy has not been good in recent years and many people genuinely need assistance.
But just a few days before this article came out I stopped at a local convenience store and had to watch two young, seemingly able-bodied women spend over $35 on pure junk food, including cans of Red Bull. They used their EBT (food stamps) card to pay for all of this! Needless to say I was furious!
But, then the questions come: What is wrong with our country when people have a sense of “entitlement”** and feel that it is all right to abuse the system this way? When are hard-working, tax-paying Americans going to stand up and say “enough is enough”? I
was at a meeting last week when an employer stood up and told a story about an employee who resigned from her position and then applied and received unem-ployment benefits! Have we lost our minds? What has happened to so many Americans that they expect the taxpayers to take care of them? Where is their sense of pride and self-sufficiency?
I am asking all people who are on taxpayer funded assistance: re-evaluate your situation — are you telling the government the truth about your financial situation? Can you get a job or another job to help pay your living expenses? Are you using your aid wisely? Have you cut back on every unnecessary expense until you can get back on your feet?
To all hard-working, taxpaying Americans I implore you to speak out! Tell your elected represen-tatives on all levels that you are tired of paying for all this uncon-
stitutional waste and abuse! Get involved! Read the Constitution and realize that our founders would not even recognize our country today!
And finally, for those of you who think we should be hand-ing out “entitlements”—first read our Constitution and then please go find a country that more suits your line of thought on what gov-ernment should be! Don’t try to change this one any more than you already have! At least for now, there are no fences to keep you here!
**Although our government lumps all “entitlements” together, I only consider those that the taxpayer has paid into, i.e. Social Security, Medicare, Veteran’s Benefits, etc. to be entitlements.

Health care reform is missing key ingredient
Much of what Barack Obama has been cooking seems to come out half-baked. As a politi-
cal chef, he seems unwilling to make certain of the ingredients and refuses to stay home to watch the oven.
Maybe I’ve been watching too many of those ubiquitous short-order cooking shows on televi-sion, but you get my drift. The president’s problem is a lack of attentiveness to detail and a pen-chant for constant campaigning. He seems more comfortable in crowds than with those one-on-one confrontations necessary for good governance.
The “bully pulpit” can get a person only so far. Then it takes down-and-dirty, head-knocking, nose-to-nose face-offs and trades. It’s hard work, and – in the par-tisan war zone this town increas-ingly has become – it requires a willingness to use both compro-mise and threats.
As a former community orga-nizer, Obama should have devel-oped some of the skills necessary for just such a fight. He obviously hasn’t.
Big ideas are great, but without a sense of practicality they remain just ideas. It’s important to know what is achievable and what isn’t. With this president, the result so far has been a domestic wasteland.
Debate over immigration, trans-portation, education and a half dozen other major issues has been displaced by constant warfare over the Affordable Care Act. Problems mount daily, and now the spec-ter of fraud looms over the giant program even in its startup phase as bunko artists reportedly try to take advantage of the confusion to
sign up applicants with phony poli-cies and identity theft.
As Obama winds down his fifth year in office, the window for his-toric accomplishment is quickly closing.
The next year or so will define his presidency as either mediocre or high up in the pantheon of the office. It will not be enough to have the distinction of being the first of his race to hold it. Obama’s chances for making his lofty goals a reality eventually will give way, leaving him to pre-side over the chaotic scramble to replace him and his party in the 2014 and 2016 elections.
If one needs evidence of his refusal to pay attention to detail, consider the fact that he almost single handedly cost his party the governorship of Virginia. A 10-point lead by Democrat Terry McAuliffe all but disappeared in the 10 days before the elec-tion in a landslide of protest over Obama’s continuing inability to get things straight about the lethal small stuff in the Affordable Care Act. And that’s despite the fact his Republican opponent was carrying more baggage than a member of the railroad porter’s union.
It became abundantly clear that even the president himself had no clue about the ramifications of this 2,700-page monstrosity.
Millions of Americans were receiving notice from their insur-ance companies that they would have to give up their current poli-cies despite the president’s cam-paign promises to the contrary. All this was taking place as Virginians were preparing to head for the polls and the Republican candidate made the best of it.
Obama and the Democrats who helped him foolishly tried to over-haul 18 percent of the economy without public or bipartisan politi-cal support. They now face the prospect of losing the advantage over the GOP brought about by the enormous political shortcom-ings of the radical tea party wing.
As a 50-year veteran of this burg’s seemingly never-ending political battles, I have watched in total wonder the administration’s health care debacles and what it has done to the body politic. Mistakes made by the president and his novice staff continue to mount.
Allowing the unrestrained draft-ing of the reform and then its pas-sage without Republican input or support damned it from the start. Not one single vote was cast for it by the Republicans, making it a one-party act despite its enormous scope and disruption -- a historic first.
The next 12 months before the midterm elections are going to be a continuation of the fight over the program’s failings.
Good luck with explaining that, Mr. President, as you stump the country.

Erectile dysfunction is a predictor of heart attackDear Pharmacist, I have a bedroom prob-
lem. I took Viagra for sev-eral years, and it stopped working, so I was put on Cialis. Sometimes that helps, sometimes not. I’m too embarrassed to ask my doctor again, she says this is a part of aging because I am 58. Any sugges-tions? — T.M., Bethesda, Maryland
Answer: I have many! I’m stunned that she’s never mentioned bio-iden-tical hormone replacement for you, as in testosterone or “T.” The reason most men develop erectile dys-function in the first place is because they are low in their natural ‘manly’ hormone, which starts to decline with age. The declining T causes a rela-tive increase in circulat-ing estrogen, a hormone found in higher concentra-tions in women. Restoring testosterone or “T” puts balance back, so it’s best my recommendation for
increasing mojo. Giving a man one of
those super sex pills like Viagra, Levitra or Cialis is the equivalent of jump starting the car every two miles, rather than just fix-ing the battery. Why do men medicate themselves every weekend, when they can fix the root cause by balancing hormones? It’s a good question isn’t it? A good physician should evaluate your hormones and neurotransmitters and decipher if it’s low tes-tosterone, low dopamine, high cortisol, high estro-gen, low progesterone, high insulin, low DHEA or
oxytocin. If you’re a man or a woman, and you’ve ‘lost that lovin’ feelin’” that’s what you need to evaluate and replenish. Prescribed sex pills, as useful as they are, can’t balance hormones.
There’s another reason I get hot under the col-lar about this topic. Men are dying every day from heart attack and stroke that may have been pre-vented. The clue that you’re headed for trouble is erectile dysfunction. Think that out, it’s not hard to understand... if the blood isn’t effectively flowing down south to your penis, it isn’t flowing up north either, to your heart. The blood vessels are clogged and that could cause erectile dysfunction years before a massive heart attack occurs. What does conventional medi-cine do? Prescribe a quick fixer upper, so you can have a night of fun, instead of helping you clear your
arteries, improve vessel flexibility, correct hor-monal imbalances and manage cholesterol (they don’t even measure it cor-rectly but that’s another column).
I think there is an incomplete knowledge or understanding of physiol-ogy or hormones because sex pills should not be your go-to drug for erec-tile dysfunction. You think it’s just me saying that to alarm you? Not a chance, I would never scare you, that’s not how I roll.
A study published in March 2010 in Circulation concluded, “Erectile dys-function is a potent pre-dictor of all-cause death and the composite of car-diovascular death, myo-cardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure in men with cardiovascular dis-ease.” There’s no doubt, low testosterone is a risk factor for heart attack. Replacement therapy is controversial. Some stud-
ies suggest the very use of testosterone increases heart attack risk, but I find flaws with those studies.
Balance is key.

Medicaid is the health overhaul’s early success storyBy RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVARAssociated Press
WASHINGTON — The ugly duckling of govern-ment health care programs has turned into a rare early success story for President Barack Obama’s techno-logically challenged health overhaul.
Often criticized for byz-antine rules and skimpy payments, Medicaid has signed up 444,000 people in 10 states in the six weeks since open enrollment began, according to Avalere Health, a market analysis firm. Twenty-five states are expanding their Medicaid programs, but data for all of them was not available.
Meanwhile, private plans offered through troublesome online markets are expected to have enrolled a far smaller number of people.
The Obama admin-istration plans to release October enrollment statis-tics this week, but publicly available figures already provide a contrast between a robust start for Medicaid expansion and lukewarm early signups for new, gov-ernment-subsidized private plans offered separately under the law.
“Medicaid is exceeding expectations in most plac-es,” said Dan Mendelson, Avalere’s president. “It is definitely a bright picture in states that have chosen to expand.”
A big reason for the disparity: In 36 states, the new private plans are being offered through a malfunc-tioning federal website that continues to confound potential customers. And state-run websites have not been uniformly glitch-free.
Obama’s health care law melded two approaches to advance its goal of broader insurance coverage. Middle-class people with no access to job-based coverage are offered subsidized private plans, while low-income peo-ple are steered to an expand-ed version of Medicaid in states accepting it.
Starting Jan. 1, the law expands Medicaid eligibili-ty to those with incomes up to 138 percent of the feder-al poverty level — $15,856 for an individual or $32,499 for a family of four. The Supreme Court gave states the right to opt out of the expansion, which is fully
financed by Washington for the first three years, gradu-ally phasing down to a 90 percent federal share.
At present, 25 states and the District of Columbia have accepted the Medicaid expansion, which is strongly supported by state hospital associations, medical groups and advocates for the poor.

Custom-mix pharmacies to be watched closelyBy MATTHEW PERRONEAP Health Writer
WASHINGTON — A year after a meningitis outbreak from contaminated pain injections killed at least 64 people and sickened hundreds, Congress is ready to increase federal oversight over compounding pharma-cies that custom-mix medications.
The legislation, passed by the House in September, also creates a national system for tracking prescription drugs from manufacturers to retail pharmacies, first through serial numbers on bottles and containers and later through electronic codes.
The compounding pharmacy bill is intended to avert a repeat of last year’s meningitis outbreak associated with the now-closed New England Compounding Center. Subsequent inspections found unsanitary conditions at the company’s plant in Framingham, Mass., including mold and standing water.
Contamination problems with compounded medi-cines have been reported for decades. But jurisdiction over them has been murky. Pharmacies are typically regulated through state boards, but the Food and Drug Administration regulates manufacturers of medicines.
The FDA gets explicit authority under the bill to intervene when compounders are mass-producing med-ications without prescriptions or are compounding cop-ies of widely available drugs. Compounding pharmacies can elect to register as “outsourcing facilities” subject to FDA oversight or continue to be regulated by state pharmacy boards.
FORT WHITE — Fort White High is hosting East Gadsden High in the open-ing round of the football state playoffs at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
By virtue of winning the District 2-4A championship, Fort White will host a play-off game for the first time.
In previously pointing this out, I got carried away and wrote this was the first one-loss regular season for the Indians.
Not true, as several fans pointed out.
Fort White was 9-1 in
2008, losing only to Madison County High and making the playoffs as district run-ner-up.
That year, the Indians lost 35-7 to Pensacola Catholic High in the first round of the playoffs, but it is the only Fort White team to post nine wins.
Traveling to the far reaches of the Panhandle was a regular occasion for Fort White in its first four playoff appearances. The Indians opened the playoffs against the Crusaders in 2002, 2007, 2008 and 2010.
In addition to 2008, Pensacola Catholic won 35-0 in 2002 and 31-21 in 2010.
For t White won 36-34 in Demetric Jackson’s first season as head coach in 2007. The Indians lost
41-0 in the second round to Madison County, which went on to win the state championship.
Fort White headed south to The First Academy in Orlando the past two years for the playoffs. The teams split the games, with the Indians winning 21-14 in 2011 and the Royals winning 42-17 last season. Following the win over First Academy, Fort White lost the rematch to district opponent Trinity Catholic High, 35-3.
A late cancellation on the schedule and a lightning storm at Hamilton County High left Fort White with only eight games this sea-son. The Indians will need to make the third round of the playoffs to match the nine wins of 2008.
Familiarity is in the air as Columbia High and St. Augustine High will meet in the Class 6A state playoffs for a third-straight season.
The Tigers hold the 2-0 edge in the span and will look for their third straight against the Yellow Jackets on Friday when the two teams kickoff at 7:30 p.m. in St. Augustine.
The Yellow Jackets come off an undefeated season in District 4-6A play and hold an 8-2 record overall.
Columbia finished with a 5-1 district mark and a 9-1 overall mark on the season, but travels by virtue of being the runner-up in District 3-6A play due to their one loss against Ed White High on Oct. 11.
Still, Columbia is in the playoffs for the third time in as many years under head coach Brian Allen.
“It’s a big statement to have an opportuni-ty for a third year to be in the playoffs,” Allen said. “It’s something this program has grown accus-tomed to. We’re going to handle our business with small steps to get to post-
season play.”Allen said that get-
ting into the playoffs isn’t enough anymore for the Tigers. Columbia is setting its goals higher.
“Year one, we were try-ing to turn things from the way it was to the way it is now,” Allen said. “Even as
district runner-up, even get-ting there was a big step. Last year, the expectation was to win it. Now having the team that we have, our expectations are high. We don’t want to get in for just one football game, but we want an opportunity to be better than we were the
previous year.”Getting there will be the
hard part as the Yellow Jackets are sure to have some motivation to knock the Tigers off after leaving the field against Columbia with a bitter taste in their mouth the past two sea-sons.
“I’m sure that’s a part of their conversation for any football coach,” Allen said. “That’s a part of the conver-sation that they’ve had our number. Last year, it was kind of an embarrassment at our place. They want revenge. They’re hungry for a win.”
But Allen and the Tigers will have their own moti-vation against a team that never slouches.
“They’re a program that is established,” Allen said. “I’m sure they have their conversations. At our place, it’s that they’re district champions.”
The important thing to remember for both teams is that all the talk of three in a row or St. Augustine ending the Tigers’ streak won’t matter once the game begins. At that point, it’s all about which team is able to execute.
“When you put the pads on and the game clock ticks down, all that stuff doesn’t matter,” Allen said. “It makes for a great story at the front part of the week. When it’s Friday night at 7:30, all that stuff is out the window. The kids go out and determine the outcome of the game.”
Allen knows the newspa-per business and believes that the headlines will sell a good game for the St. Augustine faithful going into Friday, especially con-sidering the Tigers have to go back into hostile terri-tory after doing the impos-sible two years ago.
“It’ll make for a good story this week,” Allen said. “It’s two decades that pro-gram hasn’t lost in the first round at home.”
On Friday, the Tigers look to make it two times.

DEAR ABBY: With the holidays approaching, a reminder is in order. People: Don’t forget those thank-you notes! I don’t mean an email, but a REAL, honest-to-gosh thank-you note sent through the mail with postage.
My mother always told me that a gift is not truly yours until a proper thank-you has been sent. She said it “completed the transfer.” I was not allowed to play with the item or use it until that note was written.
This is especially true for young people today, who seemingly were not taught this in school or by their parents. Very young children can draw a picture, and the parent can add a line to say it was drawn to express thanks. As the child matures, he/she can use his/her own words of gratitude.
I can’t tell you how many parents comment on the absence of this display of etiquette. Good manners are never out of date. They are noticed and appreciated. From time to time I have seen you mention your booklet on “How to Write Letters.” If it includes a section on thank-you notes, I’m sure it would be helpful to a lot of people in the next two months. — ELINOR IN SURPRISE, ARIZ.
DEAR ELINOR: The
booklet does. Not a day goes by that I don’t receive letters and emails from readers who are upset enough to write because they haven’t received a thank-you note for a birth-day, graduation, wedding or holiday gift they sent. Some of the writers say they are so hurt and offended that they will stop giving gifts because they were left hanging, wondering if their gift was ever received. The problem may be that many parents no longer insist their children practice this courtesy, so the kids never learn how to do it.
Chief among the rea-sons that thank-you notes aren’t sent is that many people don’t know what to say. They think the note has to be a long, flowery composition when, in fact, short and to the point is more effective.
Keeping a notepad handy when opening gifts and immediately taking a moment to jot down the first thought that comes to mind is helpful. (Example: Do you like the color? The
style? Is it something you had been looking for and couldn’t find? Is it a special homemade treat? Mmmm.) WRITE IT DOWN.
While letter-writing or even emailing may seem like a chore, there are times when a handwritten note is the most appropri-ate means of communicat-ing one’s thoughts. My booklet contains sample letters for almost any occa-sion. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby -- Letters Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Inside you will find many samples that can be used as patterns from which to write your own.
For anyone who has ever wondered where to begin when writing a note of thanks, offering warm congratulations, condolences, composing a love letter or the opposite -- announcing a broken engagement or a decision to divorce -- “How to Write Letters” is a handy guide for people who put off writing because they don’t know what to say.

HOROSCOPES
DEAR ABBY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Work will pay off, so don’t feel you are being taken for granted. It’s important to show your capabilities in order to secure your position. What you do now will turn you into a valuable commodity later. ★★★
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Summon help and delegate work to the people you feel have the best to offer. Partnerships will bring you additional opportunities that will allow you to expand your skill set. A romantic rela-tionship will boost your confidence. ★★★
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let your emotions or your ego sur-face, causing you to look unprofessional. Remain as levelheaded as possible and focus on whatever jobs you’ve been given. Unexpected maneuvers are developing and a quick reaction will be required. ★★★★
CANCER (June 21-July 22): This is the time for you to reach out to people you care about or that you want to get to know better. Catch up on correspondence or recon-nect with an old friend. Plan a reunion or revisit an interest you used to enjoy. Love beckons. ★★
LEO (July 23-Aug.
22): An investment will pay off. Don’t annoy some-one who has an influence on the way a deal will transpire. Protect your interests and take a pro-active approach and you will reach your goal. Be prepared to make a move. ★★★★★
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Communication is essential to a getting along better with the people you deal with, but trust in what you know you can do on your own. What others offer will be a nice addition to what you have already done. Stay in control. ★★★
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stick to the more obscure choices and work methods and you will find your niche, but make sure you stay within your bud-get. An unexpected situ-ation with someone you have partnered with per-sonally or professionally should be handled with care. ★★★
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Getting involved in your commu-nity or a group that inter-ests you will lead to good fortune. Your intuition will help you decipher the best path to follow. A chance meeting with someone
you’ve worked with in the past will lead to an oppor-tunity. ★★★
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Jump in and make the changes that will improve your life. You may have to make a move and not everyone will like your decisions. Protect your assets and posses-sions. ★★★★★
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look at every angle and opportu-nity offered to you. Your astute way of dealing with others will give you the edge. A job that you’ve wanted will be within reach. Don’t be afraid to step out on a limb and do what’s least expected. ★★
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be faced with doubt and concern when dealing with others. Step back and look at what everyone else is doing before you make a deci-sion that could be costly. Experiment with your own ideas and do what’s best for you. ★★
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do what works best for you. Don’t feel pressured to measure up to someone else’s stan-dard. Set your own rules; follow your heart and your dreams. Doing your own thing will be what leads to your success and happi-ness. ★★★
