Halloween Is Here! Ocala Trump Rally

Trump holds a political rally in Ocala, Florida. More than15,000 attended. He was himself, talking about the Clintons and the problems in our country. In a few days we will know who will be President. A side bar was an eyewitness said two protesters were escorted out of the rally, they got into a CNN van and left. I could not verify it at press time.

Halloween, the ladies of the Chamber and the United Southern Bank are dressed for the event which was the not-too scary Halloween for the town of Lady Lake.

The ladies of the chamber show their paintings. Wine and Design held the event in coordina-tion with the Lady Lake Chamber. Members of the Chamber and some of their employees and friends painted and enjoyed the event.

First Women Graduate USArmy Infantry Officer CourseNewsEmergency.com Critical News,

Weather & AlertsU.S. Army women hit a milestone

Wednesday, as the first women graduated from the military branch’s Infantry Basic Officer Leader’s Course.

Ten women received their Infantry blue chord at Fort Benning in the southern U.S. state of Georgia, officially making them in-fantry officers and giving them the ability to lead an Army platoon of infantry combat soldiers.

The Army’s infantry is its main land com-bat force, responsible for defending the U.S. against ground threats, and capturing, de-stroying and repelling enemy ground forces.

Including the new graduates, there are 11 female infantry officers in the U.S. Army.

Capt. Kristen Griest became the first fe-male infantry officer earlier this year after completing the Army’s Maneuver Captains Career Course and transferring into the in-fantry.

Is Florida the Real Estate Rip-Off Capital of the World?

Every day, someone says, “Well, this is how we do it up north.”

Problem is, that’s not how we do it, here, in Florida!

You’ve owned five or six homes ‘up north’ ?

You’ve “Never had a problem”?You “Know it all ?”That makes you, the perfect ‘mark’.“I’ve got a good Lawyer/Agent/Banker/

Trusted Friend” doesn’t help either.While it might be true that “Knowledge

Is Power”; for a buyer or seller, professional deceit or dishonesty would be a problem, but a far greater danger is incompetence or carelessness.

Ask them to explain these terms (below) in 2 minutes or less.

What is Flipping? Flopping? Short Sale? Reverse Mortgage? Straw Buyer? Steering? Phantom Buyer?

If they can’t, then maybe they are not the ‘expert’ you need.

‘WIRE THE FUNDS” – If you are BUY-ING your lawyer or title company used to tell you to bring a ‘Cashiers Check’ to the closing.

But then, due to an ever-growing num-ber of forgeries, they now want your bank to ‘wire’ the money.

It didn’t take long for the crooks to figure

that out.Apparently it’s relatively easy for them to

intercept your emails, those of your lawyer or the Title Company.

Their instructions tell you to wire the money to “ABC Trust Company” for the closing. You won’t know you got ripped off until the real title company asks you “When are you sending the money?”

If you are SELLING, you have the same risk. The forger says, “We will deposit the Proceeds Of Sale to your account.”

It takes them two seconds to clean you out, once they have your account number.

Does this really happen? Fact is, in the last couple of years, home-owners, buyers and sellers, have lost over $50 MILLION to swindlers and con-artists.

How do you protect yourself?1)-Stop thinking “This would never hap-

pen to me!”2)-Don’t trust anyone! It doesn’t matter

who they are, where they work or who they know.

3)-SELLING a home? Call AT LEAST three local Realtors for a free market analy-sis. Keep in mind that if two are high, and one is low, you might need a certified ap-praiser to help you figure out why!

4)-Never give your financial information to anyone. If anyone calls you for any (fi-nancial) reason, hang up and call them back at a number you know to be correct.

A.J. “Tony” Powell

As I see It 5)-BUYING a home? Take the time to personally verify appraisers, lawyers, Title

Companies, Inspectors and anyone else who is part of the transaction.’til next time. . . .

First Women Graduate USArmy Infantry Officer CourseRanger schoolFort Benning public affairs officer Chris

Warner told VOA Wednesday that rather than leading a platoon right away, all 10 women graduates have decided to continue the “unspoken tradition” of moving from the Infantry Basic Officer Leader’s course to Ranger school, the Army’s elite combat training course.

Only three women -- Griest, Capt. Shaye Haver and Maj. Lisa Jaster -- have complet-ed that elite course since it was opened up to women in 2015. Haver and Jaster are not infantry officers.

Officials anticipate a higher likelihood of success from Wednesday’s female gradu-ates, since the Infantry Basic Officer Lead-er’s Course produces the highest success rates for Ranger School graduates.

The Infantry Basic Officer Leader’s course and the Armor Basic Officer Lead-er’s course were not open to women until this year. The Army is currently training 15 women at the Armor Basic Officer Leader’s Course at Fort Benning, which will be com-pleted at the end of November.

The Army’s armor division carries out tank and forward reconnaissance operations on the battlefield.

Economic Fu-ture

North Central Florida is look-ing at a bright fu-ture over the next 20 years for our region. Our cur-rent demographics outlook carries the largest predictor.

Soon we will be facing the looming retire-ment of the Baby Boomers and many will find their way to the Sunbelt, bringing many resources with them as they come to Florida. Here they will continue to expend resourc-es, they will start businesses, volunteer, pa-

tronize entertainment venues, and create a demand that will raise property values.

Additionally, the establishment of a new inland port system handling inbound and outbound containers to Florida ports will follow the inland arteries of I-75 and Flor-ida’s Turnpike. This will further develop these areas and add immense value and capi-tal to the region. With added development we will need expanded transportation and many of these improvements are already well underway. All of this shift in modalities of transportation will spawn new enterprises in assembly and distribution.

North Central Florida has more available land and water resources than surrounding coastal areas and is much more suited for the

new development. This will also be attrac-tive to those looking for less congested areas and our lower costs of living where housing competition is less severe.

It’s our time! And we can do a better job

managing growth as we learn from past in-tensive growth in urban Florida. We need to look forward to building our own destiny. Onward and upward!

PuBlisher’s notes Award Winning

yeah! Yes I’m talk-ing about us our newspapers. Every year the CPF state-wide conference has a competition where the free newspaper across the state show their work and we

compete. There are several papers with 1,000,000 circulation down to papers with just several thousand circulation. We were lucky enough to win three awards. A first place for ad design 1/2 page, a third place for ad design, and a third place for a picture I took of a sunrise. We are happy to get recog-nition. We will run pictures of some of our efforts all next year.

In a couple of days we will choose a new President and many political leaders, the important thing is that you VOTE! We have endured one of the worst campaigns ever. I guess the way I am making up my mind is “do you want more of the same?” Or do you want to shake things up and try to fix things, healthcare for one thing.

The Trump rally was a great success. Wit-nesses have told me that a thousand could

not get into the arena. One witness said that two protesters were escorted out of the rally and they walked over, got into a CNN van and drove away. If so this will show us the bias of the media.

I have not heard anyone that realizes the importance of the State Senate win. The Dennis Baxely win was important because Marion County has not had representation in the State Senate for twenty-two years and we have not had a Republican in the State Senate in One Hundred and Thirty years. I think we will see the results of that in the future. Baxely is the right person to get the job done.

I am not completely convinced we are on the right track as far as recognizing and helping growth in certain fields, we recog-nize the horse industry but don’t seem to recognize agriculture. We have far more cattle than horses. We probably have far more pork grown here than horses. We have a tremendous water supply but don’t spend much attention on the matter. I just think we need to take a equal look. A good example is we spent a lot of money for the new building at the livestock pavilion but it seldom gets used for livestock meetings. It’s all about business meetings, political meetings, ev-erything but what it was intended to be for.

Tom Loury Long time member of CEP/Ocala Chamber of Commerce, Past President of the Ocala Business Leaders, Co-Founder of Select Business Associ-ates, Past President of the Lady Lake Chamber We are slowly choking out agriculture and

replacing it with industry changing what we have been known for over the years. The Livestock pavilion was built because a way

H O L I D A Y SAFETY REMIND-ERS FROM THE LADY LAKE PO-LICE DEPART-MENT

As the holiday season approaches, many Lady Lake residents will be

gathering with fam-ily and friends to celebrate. Whether you are traveling out of town or hosting festivi-ties at home, the Lady Lake Police Depart-ment wants you to be safe. Here is a secu-

rity checklist to help protect your home and family.

Before you leave town it is important to make sure your home appears occupied. Place timers on your lights and set them to turn on and off at different times. Lock your garage door and disconnect the automatic opener. Most importantly, tell a trusted neighbor that you are going to be away and ask them to dial 911 immediately if they see anyone on your property.

Here are some additional home security tips to keep in mind:

• Install good locks on all doors and win-dows and always use them.

Tough Economic Times?

• Stop newspaper and mail deliveries, and never hide a spare key outside,

• Give that spare key to a trusted neigh-bor and provide them with an emergency telephone number where they can reach you.

• Have someone mow your lawn if you’ll be away more than a couple of weeks.

• Turn down your telephone ringer so no one outside can hear repeated rings, and never leave a message on your telephone answering machine stating you are out of town.

• Leave your window blinds as you nor-mally would if you were home.

• Invite your neighbor to park their car in your driveway or have a friend move yours if you left it at home.

• Do not post holiday travel plans on so-cial networking sites.

Even if you are not planning to travel, the holidays are also a time when thieves and con-artists are frequently on the prowl. Here are some tips from the Lady Lake Police De-partment to help keep your home, your car, your possessions, and your family safe.

Keeping Your Home Safe • We all want our homes to reflect the

joy of the season, but avoid displaying gifts where they can be seen from a window or doorway.

• Arrange to have packages delivered to a neighbor if you’re not home to receive them.

• Packages left on porches or doorsteps are “easy picking” for thieves. It also draws unwanted attention to your home.

• Consider simple outside decorations. Elaborate or large lawn pieces are some-

times stolen right off the lawn. • Be sure not to obscure the view from

your windows. You need a clear view of your property.

• Always lock your home’s doors and windows, even if you’re only gone for a few minutes.

• Compact or dispose of packaging dis-creetly. Often criminals will spot something you’ve discarded and can target you for their next burglary or theft.

Staying Safe While Shopping • Always lock your car and close the

windows, even if you’re only gone a few moments. When possible, lock all merchan-dise or packages in the trunk of your car. Load your packages before departing, not at the next destination.

• Shop with at least one partner. Have your car or house key in your hand as you approach the door.

• Stay alert to your surroundings and the people around you. Look inside your car and around it as you approach.

• Be extra careful with purses and wal-lets. Carry a purse under your arm. Keep wallets in an inside pocket.

• Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. • Avoid street vendors or people that flag

you down with a “great deal” -- many times these hucksters are selling stolen or unli-censed merchandise.

• Plan your trips. Instead of one big shopping trip, try several small ones. This will cut down on the amount of money you carry, the packages you’ll be encumbered

with, and it will make your shopping less stressful.

• Walk everywhere with a sense of pur-pose - show you are calm, confident and know where you are going.

• Park in well-lighted areas that will be well-lighted when you return.

As you celebrate with your loved ones this season, please remember to give thanks for all those who serve in the armed forces.

On behalf of the men and women of the Lady Lake Police Department, I wish you all a safe and enjoyable holiday season!


(NAPS)—If you have guests coming for the holidays, there’s still time to whip your home into shape with smart buys and DIY projects that can instantly turn routine guest areas into stylish, inviting spaces.

Bath SavvyRefresh your vanity: In small spaces

like guest bathrooms, simple changes can make a big impact. Easy swaps of hardware and fixtures may be all you need to set the stage for an eye-popping makeover. Swap out your faucet, fixtures and hardware with champagne bronze or aged brass materials for a timeless look, and then contrast with a fresh coat of paint. If you’re unsure about trying new colors, form a neutral backdrop with creamy wall paint like Valspar Signa-

ture Irish Cream along with porcelain tile and a quartz countertop, allowing your fix-tures to pop. Don’t be intimidated if you’re doing it yourself. Countertops, like allen + roth’s quartz vanity top, come ready to install with predrilled faucet holes and at-tached undermount sinks.

Squeaky clean: Showers and toilets im-pact more than just the functionality of your bathroom— they can also add an element of sophistication. To add privacy and style, look first at the shower enclosure. A coated glass panel door will obscure views without blocking light. Got a tub? A new shower curtain and matching accessories will do the trick. For a time-saving upgrade that guests will love, install American Standard’s new

Impress Holiday Guests With A Stylish Home Refresh

ActiClean self-clean-ing toilet, available at Lowe’s. This new toi-let takes the stress out of hosting guests by removing stains from inside the bowl while cleaning more than twice the amount of dirt than convention-al toilets.

Finishing touches: Did you know you can install a dimmer switch in less than an hour? Give your bath a warm glow while helping overnight guests easily locate the bathroom during their stay. Finally, help guests find everything they need, and keep them out of your cabinets, with a basket packed with soaps, shampoos,

scrubs and more. New Life For Your Living RoomColor your mood: Warm spaces and soft

textures beckon guests to relax during the holidays. To make your living room invit-ing, try a winter-inspired paint color like dusty rose, deep purples or frosty gray that draw inspiration from powdery snow and cashmere sweaters. Complement paint with soft lighting by adding a pair of wall-mount arm sconces that can easily be installed with a cordless drill and basic hand tools.

Fresh flooring: Give your space a face-lift with floating laminate floors. These floors have the same great look as hardwood and are easy to install (see step-by-step instruc-tions at Lowes.com). You won’t even need adhesive, nails or staples.

For an instant new look, select an area rug by playing with shapes, colors and pat-tern to pull your room together. To deter-mine which size rug is best for your living room, lay a bedsheet folded to that size on the floor, so you can get an idea of the area it will cover.

Spread holiday cheer: Find the focal point in your living room and decorate around it, like framing a fireplace with pre-lit Christmas trees or draping the mantel with garland. Add soft lighting by placing LED candles around the room—you don’t have to light them, blow them out or worry about dripping wax. Complete the look by adding minitrees and a sparkling wreath to create a festive feel.

Deck the halls, walls, floors and bath for the holidays to help your houseguests to comfort and joy.

, Lady Lake Magazine/Village Spectator – November, 2016TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — During a meet-

ONE PERSON’S OPINION

Letters to the edItor

DEAR Mr. Loury:Here we go again, whining about speed-

ers.It might be enlightening to research the

topic on the net.Type in : Police ticketing slow drivers.

The 2 top complaints are: slow driving{especially, in the left lane}, and tailgat-

ing.Is it any less safe to be driving 10, 15, or

20 miles below the posted limit, than it is to be driving 10, 15 or 20 miles above the limit? I do not think so.

There might be crucial reasons why some people need to drive sooo slowly. And some drivers might have more experience driving, and can handle speed. Seventy years of city and highway driving in a 350 horsepower car, vs one year driving in a one stoplight town, driving a mini car.

Perspectives DO matter. Mix all this to-gether and you have a roadway salad.

All types of drivers doing all sorts of things. Be alert. Some distractions are re-cent additions to the driving dilemma, tex-ting and phoning. What is THAT important, world shaking? Such an inflated sense of self importance? PAY ATTENTION to your driving, and do it while sober, please?

Manners matter, even while driving.D.I. L. MORE MORESPHLATTThat is the sound of a Gauntlet being

thrown down as a challenge to MILLENI-ALS.

What does your college education give you, a FREE PASS to vote without knowl-edge?

At 42 I got a college diploma, and was ecstatic. However in hindsight, that was a mistake. Having devoted the past 45 years acquiring KNOWLEDGE, I now can say I am ready to vote. This is after reading about 4,000 non -fiction books, and watching 100 Greatest Courses.

All on politics, literature , history, philos-ophy, religion, geography, human behavior, economics. Books have become an addic-tion, from which I get a tremendous high.

Having said that I challenge any millen-nial to read {just one of you} :

Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley 1311 pages, or, The Naked Capitalist, The Naked Socialist, or, The Naked Communist.

See if your voting choice changes. Life is not a bowl of cherries. Everyone has prob-lems and hardships, setbacks, illnesses, even the richest among us.

We need to do some things to fix the is-sues that are amiss with our government. It the best ever devised by mankind. We do not throw it out with the bath water. Some less than sterling individuals have sidetracked it. We fix it. Not with anarchy, but with good will.

Let me tell you how my Tom‘s Picks is growing and what I am doing to develop it.

Tom’s Picks is helping about 100 rea-ders every 90 days. It astounds me that we are getting calls at this rate. I will refer you to my customers first. Then I look for ser-

vices under well known Business Clubs and Chambers of Commerce to try to get you the Best of the Best. Part of the weeding process is they must be highly visible in the com-munity, like active in the Chamber, or other large groups that screen their members.

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.

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-

ONE PERSON’S OPINION

Letters to the edItor

For 60 years I listened to in-laws crow about the perfect socialist state Sweden. To-day anyone with money is buying private health insurance, Health insurance is not doing so well in Sweden, as well as other issues. Socialism is failing all over Europe. Do not vote because someone is selling you at “Bill of Goods”. Do your homework. Please?.

A few bucks in free tuition, from my pocket, will not stand you in good stead when future tuition dollars come from your pocket for the next generation. My sympa-thy goes out to you, as I feel you got noth-ing for your time and cost. You were brain washed, and propagandized. No one should have to pay for that. You could have gotten so much knowledge from buying books, and reading yourself.

Knowledge consists of reading from the extreme right to the extreme. left, and from the extreme good, to the extreme bad. How can you make decisions, without consider-ing all aspects. We do not all think alike, that problem is exasperated by this lack of KNOWLEDGE.

Do you want a peaceful, or a barbaric world? A fair, or an unfair world?

A happy, or a sad world? Does stuff, or comfort matter? Does a Corvette make you happier than a Ford? They both get you to your destination. Do 5 mansions make

(Continued from Page 9) you happier than 1 comfortable house? If I were a billionaire {which I have never had a desire to be}, I would not spend money to make food out of feces. My goal for ev-eryone is comfort. That means not having to worry about paying the rent, light, food, health and gas bills every month, and the job to meet that need. Think this will make the best of all possible worlds.

If someone had a better house, car, or food than, I do, I would not be envious, if they worked harder, or smarter than I do. This is fair advantage.

Unfair advantage is what hurts, and causes all the problems.

level: read, NONE DARE CALL IT CON-SPIRACY by Gary Allen. This book will singe your hair.

The ESTABLISHMENT HAS BEEN AT WORK SINCE 1840’S, AND ARE JUST ABOUT READY TO GIVE OUR SOVER-EIGNY TO THE U.N, AND TAKE OVER THE RULE OF THE WORLD.

No one is going to get in their way. If Trump cannot stop them, how can we do it?

Hilary is in the pocket of the Establish-ment. The Establishment does, and has ex-isted for a very long time.

Do not take my word for this, please do your own research, before you vote.

After reading this complete account, I be-lieve you’ll agree with me that my Sheriff, Chris Blair, was a victim of a corrupt system of justice. As a Governor who has brought such improvement and prosperity of Flori-da, I believe you’ll agree with me that you don’t want Brad King as a representative of your government. Brad King should not have any position of responsibility in your administration.

Please give this incident your full atten-tion. The residents of Marion Co. have been denied the opportunity to vote for a very popular and effective Sheriff. The people of Marion Co. deserve better.

Ocala metro area continues to hold state’s third fastest job-growth rate in manufactur-ing

OCALA, Fla. (Oct. 21, 2016) – The un-employment rate in the CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion area for September was 6.1 percent, unchanged from the August adjust-ed rate and down 0.2 percent compared to a year ago. Out of an expanded labor force of 196,965, there were 11,975 unemployed.

According to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity’s preliminary em-ployment summary, the number of jobless for all three counties represents an increase of 131 over the month but a drop of 325 from the number out of work in September 2015.

At the same time, the region’s labor force grew by 1,874 since August and the number of employed rose by 1,743 to 184,990.

Kathleen Woodring, executive vice pres-ident for CareerSource CLM, said that to-day’s jobs report shows that the labor force and number of employed is up in all three counties.

“I think that is very good news for our area,” Woodring said. “While we never like to see a net increase in unemployed no mat-ter how small, it’s outweighed by the posi-tive growth in the labor force which is fu-eled by more employment.”

Woodring also noted that the Ocala met-ropolitan statistical area continued to post the third fastest manufacturing job growth rate among all Florida’s metros.

“This is the 16th consecutive month the Ocala MSA has ranked in the Top 5 in man-ufacturing,” she said. “Clearly manufactur-ing is thriving in our area and providing good opportunities for employment.”

Jobless Rate Remains Unchanged Woodring added that there was also strong job growth in September in education and health services, which posted the fourth fastest job growth rate in the state.

DEO’s September report shows that Levy County continued to have the lowest unemployment rate in the region at 5.2 per-cent, unchanged over the month; followed again by Marion County at 5.9 percent, up 0.1 percentage point; with Citrus County posting 6.7 percent, down 0.1 percentage point. Florida’s not-seasonally-adjusted rate for September was 5.0 percent, up 0.1 per-centage point and the national rate was 4.8 percent, down 0.2 percent.

Here’s how the numbers break down for each county:

• Citrus County’s labor force grew by 354 to 47,765, the number of employed increased by 367 to 44,548 and those un-employed fell by 13 to 3,217. Compared to September 2015, when the jobless rate

was 7.0 percent, there are 109 fewer unem-ployed.

• Levy County’s labor force expanded by 365 to 16,885, the number of employed rose by 350 to 16,008, and the number of jobless nudged up by 15 to 877. In September 2015, there were 899 unemployed and the rate was 5.4 percent.

• Marion County’s labor force grew by 1,155 to 132,315, the number of those with jobs increased by 1,026 and the number of unemployed increased by 129 to 7,881. A year ago, when the unemployment rate was 6.1 percent, there were 194 more people out of work.

Among Florida’s metropolitan statistical areas, Homosassa Springs, which covers all of Citrus County, dropped from the second highest unemployment rate to third, behind The Villages and Sebring MSAs which had rates of 6.9 percent. The Ocala metro area held the fifth highest rate for the third con-secutive month.

In terms of ranking by county, Citrus County’s fell from fifth to the sixth highest jobless rate, Marion County was 12th and Levy County was 29th.

The Ocala metro’s nonagricultural em-ployment in September was 99,200 – an in-crease of 1,500 jobs over the year.

The Ocala MSA’s job growth rate in manufacturing was 5.2 percent – the third fastest in Florida with 400 new jobs over the year. The job growth rate in education and health services at 5.1 percent, (+900 new jobs), which was the fourth fastest growth rate for the industry sector among the state’s metro areas. Both industries grew faster than statewide over the year.

Other industries gaining jobs over the year were leisure and hospitality, at 4.3 percent (+500 new jobs), and government which grew by 1.4 percent (+200 new jobs).

Mining, logging and construction lost 200 jobs over the year as did professional and business services. Information lost 100 jobs.

Trade, transportation and utilities, along with financial activities and other services were unchanged over the year.

In September, nonfarm employment for the Homosassa Springs MSA was 32,900 – an increase of 0.9 percent and 300 more jobs over the year.

The employment report for October will be released on November 18.

Glenn Sutphin, Executive Director of the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs said, “We must never forget our veterans and their families, through whose selfless service and sacrifice, we enjoy the liberty our nation is known for.

WHEREAS, the unwavering commit-ment of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Ma-rines, Coast Guardsmen, and Merchant Mar-iners has preserved our freedoms and saved millions around the world from tyranny; and

WHEREAS, we continue to draw inspi-ration from the heroism and dedication of those who currently serve and sacrifice for the cause of liberty and justice; and

WHEREAS, it is fitting that all Florid-ians honor America’s military veterans, in-cluding Florida’s more than 1.5 million liv-ing veterans, through whose selfless service and sacrifice we enjoy freedom and liberty.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RE-SOLVED that the Governor and Cabinet of the State of Florida do hereby recognize No-vember 11, 2016, as VETERANS DAY and call upon all Floridians to honor the contri-butions of current and former members of the United States Armed Services.
