BY CAROL JONESSpecial to the Messenger
This past summer Wallace Barrett,known to nearly everyone as Wally, ac-cepted the position of Branch LibrarySupervisor III of Freedom Public Li-brary.
Wally has a Bachelor’s degree in Eng-lish Literature from the University ofFlorida and a Master’s degree in Li-brary and Information Science fromFlorida State University. Not only doeshe know the complexities of a library,he’s no stranger in the kitchen. Wallyworked seven years as a chef at theHaile Plantation Golf and Country Clubin Gainesville until he decided tochange professions. His library careerbegan at the University of FloridaSmather’s Library as a circulation su-pervisor. He came to Marion CountyPublic Library System as a Public Serv-ices Assistant at the Dunnellon Branch,then to the Freedom Branch as a Li-brarian II. All were stepping stones tohis current position.
When asked to share his vision for thefuture of Freedom Public Library, he re-sponded, “I hope to maintain Free-dom’s well set path as a hub of thecommunity and excellent provider ofresources to all of our patron communi-ties. I hope to continually assess theneeds of the community and respondaccordingly. Of course it would be won-derful to see an expansion of the Free-dom Library building, staff andresources.”
This past spring he and his familymoved to Ocala from Gainesville, elim-inating the long commute.
“I have had in my life the wonderfulopportunity to travel the U.S. and othercountries,” Wally tells us. “I like food,music, the ocean, and being a librarianis actually my dream job!”
Spare time, when he finds it, is spentwith family enjoying the outdoors, oftenat the ocean, and, yes, cooking.

The decorations werebright with a fall and
Halloween feel to themat the Stone Creek FallFestival last weekend.
Story and additionalphoto on Page 12.
Fall is that wonderful season inthe north where the leaves turnvivid colors of red, yellow, orange
and brown. The air is crisp and onestarts to take the warmer clothes out ofstorage.
There is apple and pumpkin pickingalong with baking of all things pumpkin.
It is just a beautiful time of the year.Fall in Florida is somewhat different
but the Del Webb Stone Creek residentswere treated to a Fall Festival with allthings reminiscence of fall in the north.Lifestyle Director, Kim Kroystopa andmany volunteers planned this event formonths.
All clubs, groups and neighborhoodswere given supplies to make a “scare-crow.”
As you see the pictures you will no-tice there are not many “scarecrows”but some great designs.
This year’s Fall Festival was spon-sored by the following merchants: Af-fordable Carpet Cleaning, DigitalCommunications Media (DCM), CLAEstate Services, First Service Residen-tial, Friendship Golf Carts, GalaxyHome Solutions, International EnergySavers, Lindsay, Crabb & Associates,National Cremation, Ocala Golf Cart,Papa John’s Pizza, Pro-Closet Design,Pulte, Raymond James Financial Serv-ices, Sunshine Solar Group, Swan Fi-nancial Services. There were 20-plusvendors advertizing their products.
If you were hungry, there were foodvendors: Brick Town Catering, Lee’s
chicken, Deconna Ice Cream, PapaJohn’s, Calypso Concessions and ourown Stone Creek Grille.
Many of the local residents also soldtheir crafts from jewelry to children’sbooks, ceramics, holiday ornaments,quilted bags, and floral arrangements.Stone Creek has many talented resi-dents.
It was a great day, not quite fallweather but all had fun checking outthe ‘scarecrows’ enjoying food andmeeting neighbors.
Thanks to Kim and her many volun-teers for another wonderful event.

For consumers about to make a hearing aid purchase, and anyone interested in learning about hearing. Hearing and Hearing Aid Pricing and Technology Disclosed
Just the Lowest Price with th e Best Technology & Service
What are Hearing Aid Channels and Bands?
Two of the most important characteristics of hearing aids are “Channels” and “Bands”… which are also some of the most misunderstood by users.
To start off with, the number of channels or bands has nothing to do with the number of programs or volume settings. Sounds are processed and amplified by a hearing aid based on frequencies (or the pitch of a sound) and
volumes. A peek at your audiogram will tell you how much amplification you need for any given frequency. In a nutshell, bands and channels thus determine how granular a hearing aid can process and amplify the sounds it perceives. To quote a great explanation from Philips:
“A band is what is used to control volume in different frequencies. This allows us to adjust more volume in a specific area of your hearing loss without effecting other areas where you might
need less volume The more bands the hearing aid offers the more room we have to fit the aid to your hearing loss.
Channels break up the frequency range into individual channels. This allows the hearing aid to differentiate noise from speech. The more channels the hearing aid has the more fine tuned it can be. For instance the sound of keys falling on a table, or water running in the sink may be overwhelming. When your hearing aid offers many channels we can adjust each
frequency that is too loud without sacrificing the things you want to hear, like your spouse or boss.”
Thus, just the way a high-resolution picture gives you a sharper image, more bands and channels provide you with a more granular sound quality. More channels will provide better “resolution” on the frequencies and more bands will mean better “resolution” on the volume… thus allowing your hearing aid to match your audiogram more accurately.

ple from the left-wing Daily Kos.Bauer writes: “Obamacare’s continued horrendous
rollout (See next item) will likely cause the scales tofall from many eyes. Even some liberals are ques-tioning Obamacare.We need to make sure that friendsand family members who bought into the hype abouthope and change know that it doesn’t have to be thisway. We can do better.”
The good news – if you can call it that – is that Oba-macare is non-discriminating. It’s putting the screwsto every American – rich and poor, Democrat and Re-publican, liberal and conservative.
In the above-referenced Daily Kos piece, headlined“Obamacare will double my monthly premium (ac-cording to Kaiser),” liberal blogger “Tirge Caps” cap-tures the shock experienced by most Americans –even “progressive” Americans – over the promise ofObamacare vs. the reality of Obamacare:
My wife and I just got our updates from Kaisertelling us what our 2014 rates will be. Her monthly hasbeen $168 this year, mine $150. We have a high de-ductible. We are generally healthy people who don’tgo to the doctor often. I barely ever go. The insuranceis in case of a major catastrophe.
Well, now, because of Obamacare, my wife’s rate isgoing to $302 per month and mine is jumping to $284.
I am canceling insurance for us and I am not payingany … penalty. What the hell kind of reform is this?
Oh, OK, if we qualify, we can get some government
assistance. Great. So now I have to jump through an-other hoop to just chisel some of this off. And we don’tqualify, anyway, so what’s the point?
I never felt too good about how this was passed andwhat it entailed, but I figured if it saved Americansmoney, I could go along with it.
I don’t know what to think now. This appears, in myexperience, to not be a reform for the people.
What am I missing? I realize I will probably getscreamed at for posting this, but I can’t imagine I amthe only Californian who just received a rate increasefrom Kaiser based on these new laws.
Not only will you get screamed at, Mr. Caps, but youmay want to prepare for an unexpected IRS audit.America feels your pain, my friend.
The proof is in the pudding.And Obamacare is poison pudding indeed.

This past week I hadto go to the mall. Iknow, I should
know better but I thoughtI could sneak in, get whatI needed and sneak outagain. So much for mythoughts.
I wanted to purchaseseveral tie chains for myneckties and searchedevery jewelry store andnobody had them.
Finally, I ordered threeonline, which would beshipped free, (which al-ways gets my attention) tothe nearest store, whichhappened to be in themall.
I do not like the malland choose not to gothere if I can help it.When in the mall I amusually very nervous andget confused and do notknow which way I amgoing.
Once I get in, I am notquite sure how to get outagain.
Everything seems to becontrived to confuse aperson like myself.
Looking down at theground while walking Ibecame rather confusedand I happen to turn intoan open door.
My mall savvy is not so-phisticated in the lease.The door I turned intohappened to be for thestore Victoria’s Secret. Ido not know who Victoriais, I did not know whatthe store was all aboutbut when I got in the storeI discovered Victoria’sSecret much to my greatembarrassment.
That is exactly the rea-son I do not like goinginto the malls.
They have places likethis that a gentleman,such as Yours Truly,should never enter.
I am not sure how I gotout of that store, all I canremember was a greatdeal of hilarious laughterthrown in my directionfrom inside. I just hopethey did not recognizeme.
They probably did not,because I had all myclothes on.
It has been a long timesince that incident andnow I had to go and pickup my order.
I put together a plan tosneak in very quietly, pickup my order and tiptoeout as quietly as I camein.
You know what they sayabout well-laid plans!Whether mine was welllaid or not, it blew up inmy face.
I did slip into the malland found the storewhere my order was. Ipicked them up and qui-etly turned around andstarted for the door. HowI got turned around is anyman’s guess.
Actually, I think itturned around too manytimes. For the next 15minutes, I tried to findthe way I came in so Icould go out.
The trouble startedwhen I hesitated. Istopped to try to get mybearings and in stoppinga young woman ap-
proached me.“How do you do today,
sir,” she said most cheer-fully.
I nodded and tried toget away as graciously aspossible.
She would have none ofit. “And how do you smelltoday, sir?”
Had I been in my rightsense of mind I wouldhave told her I smelledwith my nose. Being in aconfused state of affairs, Ihad no quick come backfor her. It was then thatshe introduced me to herproduct.
I must confess I am notup-to-date with all of thebody lotions and per-fumes that are availabletoday. I shave in themorning, splash some af-tershave on my face, rubsome deodorant undermy armpits and that is asfar as I go.
This young woman tookme for a potential cus-tomer of her body lotionsand ointments and per-fumes. I suppose manypeople are concernedwith how they smell. I amnot one of them.
My basic philosophyalong this line is simply, ifI cannot stand my ownsmell, I take a shower. Iknow when it is time totake a shower when I cansmell myself.
She wanted to intro-duce me to some body lo-tions and ointments andperfumes that wouldmake me smell alluring toanybody I met during theday.
Personally, I do nothave a “Bucket List” butif I did this would not beone of the items on it.
Trying to be polite, I in-formed the young womanI was late for an appoint-ment and needed to geton right away.
“Oh,” she said verycheerfully, “this will nottake long at all.”
With that said, and be-fore I could process whatshe said, she began rub-bing my face with bodyointment or lotion ofsome sort.
I froze and for a fewmoments, I could noteven move. Even the littlegrey cells upstairs wereshocked into a rare stateof stillness.
“Now, you smell won-derful.”
It was at that time I re-tired with honor my gen-tlemanly manners andstarted running as fast asI could run without draw-ing too much attention tomyself.
I smelled that “fra-grance” for three days inspite of the fact that I took17 showers in the mean-time.
Sometimes our focus isalways on the outside. Ilike what Jesus said,“Woe unto you, scribesand Pharisees, hyp-ocrites! for ye make cleanthe outside of the cup andof the platter, but withinthey are full of extortionand excess” (Matthew23:25).
It does not matter howgood I smell on the out-
Is it a fragrance or a stench?Out to Pastor

side if there is stench onthe inside. I want to focuson my inside and make itas fresh as possible. Thatis the fragrance Godsmells.

No clear message
from Ocala voters
Analysts were watching lastTuesday’s Ocala election tosee if the voters were sending
a message. After all, it was one of thefirst elections anywhere since thegovernment partial shutdown began.
But it was hard to get a feel forwhat the voters said except for oneinstance.
A city charter amendment thatwould have eliminated runoffs incertain special elections was de-feated. A group called “Let the Peo-ple Vote” had lobbied long and hardto reject this amendment, and evi-dently the message got through.
The voters responded by tellingcity officials not to mess with theirright to vote. This should send a clearmessage to all governments in thearea, if not in the nation. Under theguise of saving money, don’t depriveus of our chance to elect candidates.
For a couple ofweeks now, thereseems to havebeen an anti-in-cumbent senti-ment growing in the U.S., mainlyaimed at Congress. At the local level,the sentiment may have applied toone close race, but in the other therewas no doubt that the incumbent wasthe popular choice.
Brent Malever defeated SuzyHeinbockel for the District 1 CityCouncil seat, ousting the incumbentby just 410 votes. But in the District 3race, incumbent Jay Musleh easilycoasted over political newcomerAaron Fiehn by 1,859 votes. He got 78percent of the vote.
Other charter results were mixed,but most of the amendments werejust paperwork to clear up some con-flicting language. Voters passed apair and defeated a pair, with no ap-parent pattern.
One disturbing figure, as usual,was the low turnout. Only 10 percentof registered voters turned out to thepolls, a typical city election figure.
It remains a mystery to us whycities continuously hold elections onoff dates. The standard Election Dayin November is observed for county,state and national elections … whynot for cities, too, When only 10 per-cent of the voters are voting, it meansthat the other 90 percent really haveno complaints if they don’t like theway things are going.
If some of these voters moved to acountry where the right to vote was-n’t granted, they would be among thefirst to howl about liberty. But here,they don’t seem to care.

Editorial
Guest column
BY MATT BARBER Special to the Messenger
“Disaster,” “embarrassment,” “hu-miliating” and “train wreck” are just afew of the colorful terms being used todescribe it. The Obama administra-tion’s incompetent half-billion-dollarrollout of its incompetent multi-trillion-dollar signature achievement is but atragic metaphor for this man’s entirepresidency. (It’s not hyperbole when it’strue.)
Nearly three weeks in and theutopian promise of “affordable care”for all has yielded but a handful of folkswho’ve even been able to sign up forthis clinic in socialism.
That Obamacare – something billedas a health-care panacea for the collec-tive – is something that the collectiveneither asked for, nor wanted, is nowthe back story. That it has failed so fan-tastically in every respect, has takencenter stage.
Reuters reports: “In its third week ofoperations, the (Obamacare) websitecontinues to experience problems,which government officials say they areworking day and night to repair. Evenallies of the Obama administrationhave been highly critical, with formerWhite House press secretary RobertGibbs calling it ‘excruciatingly embar-rassing’ and calling for ‘some people’ tobe fired.”
Senate Finance Committee Chair-man Max Baucus, D-Mont., was both asponsor of – and cheerleader for – Oba-macare. He saw this coming. Once heread this 2,400-page regulatory mon-strosity, he came to the same conclusionas did anyone else with two synapses torub together. He called the implemen-tation of Obamacare “a huge trainwreck” and announced that, ratherthan resulting in his re-election,Obama’s pet government health-care al-batross would sink him into retirement.
Still, the few who have somehowmanaged to enroll in Obamacare arediscovering, to their dismay, what manyof us have warned all along: There isnothing “affordable” about the para-doxically named “Affordable Care Act.”Though government geeks may be“working day and night” to fix the web-site, no amount of work will fix Oba-macare itself. It’s unfixable. The onlysolution is to total-out this jalopy.
Even the Obamanistas are waking up.Just days before its launch, Politicolamented, “The Obamacare that con-sumers will finally be able to sign up fornext week (they weren’t) is a long wayfrom the health plan President BarackObama first pitched to the nation.
“Millions of low-income Americanswon’t receive coverage. Many workersat small businesses won’t get a choice ofinsurance plans right away. Large em-ployers won’t need to provide insurancefor another year. Far more states thanexpected won’t run their own insurancemarketplaces. And a growing number ofworkers won’t get to keep their em-ployer-provided coverage.”
The president’s like-minded base –the hardcore left – has also becomerestless. In a recent “End of Day” re-port, Gary Bauer, founder of Campaignfor Working Families, gives one exam-

There is almost no reason for chil-dren to go trick-or-treating inneighborhoods any more.
All you have to do is look at the agen-cies, businesses and churches that areholding Halloween celebrations thisyear, and you realize that children candress up, go to one of these events ac-companied by their parents, get theircandy and return home safely.
To be honest, I don’t remember muchabout trick-or-treating when I was a kid,although I’m sure I did it. We lived insuburban New Jersey, almost all housesaround us, so it was probably a neigh-borhood thing.
In many places now, though, two not-so-nice things have developed – fearand greed.
The greed finds people who bring abunch of children in a car in costumesthat took about two minutes to make,and they drop them off and let the kidsgo to strangers’ houses to get theirtreats.
The fear comes from parents who re-ally care about their children’s safeties.I can remember scares from needles inapples, etc., which is why individuallywrapped candy is the only thing youshould accept. Nowadays, I wouldworry more about doctored food items,particularly if your children go into adrug-infested neighborhood.
Many agencies have listed the safetytips for Halloween, but it doesn’t hurt tore-familiarize yourself with them.These come from the American Associ-ation of Pediatrics.
A parent or responsible adult shouldalways accompany young children ontheir neighborhood rounds.
If your older children are going alone,plan and review the route that is ac-ceptable to you. Agree on a specific time
Planning ahead for a safe Halloween
Among Friends

when they should return home. Only go to homes with a porch light on
and never enter a home or car for atreat.
Because pedestrian injuries are themost common injuries to children onHalloween, remind Trick-or-Treaters.
Stay in a group and communicatewhere they will be going.
Remember reflective tape for cos-tumes and trick-or-treat bags.
Carry a cellphone for quick commu-nication.
Remain on well-lit streets and alwaysuse the sidewalk.
If no sidewalk is available, walk at thefar edge of the roadway facing traffic.
Never cut across yards or use alleys. Only cross the street as a group in es-
tablished crosswalks (as recognized bylocal custom). Never cross betweenparked cars or out driveways.
Don’t assume the right of way. Mo-torists may have trouble seeing Trick-or-Treaters. Just because one car stops,doesn’t mean others will!
Law enforcement authorities shouldbe notified immediately of any suspi-cious or unlawful activity.
Let’s all endeavor to make this a safeHalloween for children and drivers.

No clear message
from Ocala voters
Analysts were watching lastTuesday’s Ocala election tosee if the voters were sending
a message. After all, it was one of thefirst elections anywhere since thegovernment partial shutdown began.
But it was hard to get a feel forwhat the voters said except for oneinstance.
A city charter amendment thatwould have eliminated runoffs incertain special elections was de-feated. A group called “Let the Peo-ple Vote” had lobbied long and hardto reject this amendment, and evi-dently the message got through.
The voters responded by tellingcity officials not to mess with theirright to vote. This should send a clearmessage to all governments in thearea, if not in the nation. Under theguise of saving money, don’t depriveus of our chance to elect candidates.
For a couple ofweeks now, thereseems to havebeen an anti-in-cumbent senti-ment growing in the U.S., mainlyaimed at Congress. At the local level,the sentiment may have applied toone close race, but in the other therewas no doubt that the incumbent wasthe popular choice.
Brent Malever defeated SuzyHeinbockel for the District 1 CityCouncil seat, ousting the incumbentby just 410 votes. But in the District 3race, incumbent Jay Musleh easilycoasted over political newcomerAaron Fiehn by 1,859 votes. He got 78percent of the vote.
Other charter results were mixed,but most of the amendments werejust paperwork to clear up some con-flicting language. Voters passed apair and defeated a pair, with no ap-parent pattern.
One disturbing figure, as usual,was the low turnout. Only 10 percentof registered voters turned out to thepolls, a typical city election figure.
It remains a mystery to us whycities continuously hold elections onoff dates. The standard Election Dayin November is observed for county,state and national elections … whynot for cities, too, When only 10 per-cent of the voters are voting, it meansthat the other 90 percent really haveno complaints if they don’t like theway things are going.
If some of these voters moved to acountry where the right to vote was-n’t granted, they would be among thefirst to howl about liberty. But here,they don’t seem to care.

Editorial
Guest column
BY MATT BARBER Special to the Messenger
“Disaster,” “embarrassment,” “hu-miliating” and “train wreck” are just afew of the colorful terms being used todescribe it. The Obama administra-tion’s incompetent half-billion-dollarrollout of its incompetent multi-trillion-dollar signature achievement is but atragic metaphor for this man’s entirepresidency. (It’s not hyperbole when it’strue.)
Nearly three weeks in and theutopian promise of “affordable care”for all has yielded but a handful of folkswho’ve even been able to sign up forthis clinic in socialism.
That Obamacare – something billedas a health-care panacea for the collec-tive – is something that the collectiveneither asked for, nor wanted, is nowthe back story. That it has failed so fan-tastically in every respect, has takencenter stage.
Reuters reports: “In its third week ofoperations, the (Obamacare) websitecontinues to experience problems,which government officials say they areworking day and night to repair. Evenallies of the Obama administrationhave been highly critical, with formerWhite House press secretary RobertGibbs calling it ‘excruciatingly embar-rassing’ and calling for ‘some people’ tobe fired.”
Senate Finance Committee Chair-man Max Baucus, D-Mont., was both asponsor of – and cheerleader for – Oba-macare. He saw this coming. Once heread this 2,400-page regulatory mon-strosity, he came to the same conclusionas did anyone else with two synapses torub together. He called the implemen-tation of Obamacare “a huge trainwreck” and announced that, ratherthan resulting in his re-election,Obama’s pet government health-care al-batross would sink him into retirement.
Still, the few who have somehowmanaged to enroll in Obamacare arediscovering, to their dismay, what manyof us have warned all along: There isnothing “affordable” about the para-doxically named “Affordable Care Act.”Though government geeks may be“working day and night” to fix the web-site, no amount of work will fix Oba-macare itself. It’s unfixable. The onlysolution is to total-out this jalopy.
Even the Obamanistas are waking up.Just days before its launch, Politicolamented, “The Obamacare that con-sumers will finally be able to sign up fornext week (they weren’t) is a long wayfrom the health plan President BarackObama first pitched to the nation.
“Millions of low-income Americanswon’t receive coverage. Many workersat small businesses won’t get a choice ofinsurance plans right away. Large em-ployers won’t need to provide insurancefor another year. Far more states thanexpected won’t run their own insurancemarketplaces. And a growing number ofworkers won’t get to keep their em-ployer-provided coverage.”
The president’s like-minded base –the hardcore left – has also becomerestless. In a recent “End of Day” re-port, Gary Bauer, founder of Campaignfor Working Families, gives one exam-

There is almost no reason for chil-dren to go trick-or-treating inneighborhoods any more.
All you have to do is look at the agen-cies, businesses and churches that areholding Halloween celebrations thisyear, and you realize that children candress up, go to one of these events ac-companied by their parents, get theircandy and return home safely.
To be honest, I don’t remember muchabout trick-or-treating when I was a kid,although I’m sure I did it. We lived insuburban New Jersey, almost all housesaround us, so it was probably a neigh-borhood thing.
In many places now, though, two not-so-nice things have developed – fearand greed.
The greed finds people who bring abunch of children in a car in costumesthat took about two minutes to make,and they drop them off and let the kidsgo to strangers’ houses to get theirtreats.
The fear comes from parents who re-ally care about their children’s safeties.I can remember scares from needles inapples, etc., which is why individuallywrapped candy is the only thing youshould accept. Nowadays, I wouldworry more about doctored food items,particularly if your children go into adrug-infested neighborhood.
Many agencies have listed the safetytips for Halloween, but it doesn’t hurt tore-familiarize yourself with them.These come from the American Associ-ation of Pediatrics.
A parent or responsible adult shouldalways accompany young children ontheir neighborhood rounds.
If your older children are going alone,plan and review the route that is ac-ceptable to you. Agree on a specific time
Planning ahead for a safe Halloween
Among Friends

when they should return home. Only go to homes with a porch light on
and never enter a home or car for atreat.
Because pedestrian injuries are themost common injuries to children onHalloween, remind Trick-or-Treaters.
Stay in a group and communicatewhere they will be going.
Remember reflective tape for cos-tumes and trick-or-treat bags.
Carry a cellphone for quick commu-nication.
Remain on well-lit streets and alwaysuse the sidewalk.
If no sidewalk is available, walk at thefar edge of the roadway facing traffic.
Never cut across yards or use alleys. Only cross the street as a group in es-
tablished crosswalks (as recognized bylocal custom). Never cross betweenparked cars or out driveways.
Don’t assume the right of way. Mo-torists may have trouble seeing Trick-or-Treaters. Just because one car stops,doesn’t mean others will!
Law enforcement authorities shouldbe notified immediately of any suspi-cious or unlawful activity.
Let’s all endeavor to make this a safeHalloween for children and drivers.

This past week I hadto go to the mall. Iknow, I should
know better but I thoughtI could sneak in, get whatI needed and sneak outagain. So much for mythoughts.
I wanted to purchaseseveral tie chains for myneckties and searchedevery jewelry store andnobody had them.
Finally, I ordered threeonline, which would beshipped free, (which al-ways gets my attention) tothe nearest store, whichhappened to be in themall.
I do not like the malland choose not to gothere if I can help it.When in the mall I amusually very nervous andget confused and do notknow which way I amgoing.
Once I get in, I am notquite sure how to get outagain.
Everything seems to becontrived to confuse aperson like myself.
Looking down at theground while walking Ibecame rather confusedand I happen to turn intoan open door.
My mall savvy is not so-phisticated in the lease.The door I turned intohappened to be for thestore Victoria’s Secret. Ido not know who Victoriais, I did not know whatthe store was all aboutbut when I got in the storeI discovered Victoria’sSecret much to my greatembarrassment.
That is exactly the rea-son I do not like goinginto the malls.
They have places likethis that a gentleman,such as Yours Truly,should never enter.
I am not sure how I gotout of that store, all I canremember was a greatdeal of hilarious laughterthrown in my directionfrom inside. I just hopethey did not recognizeme.
They probably did not,because I had all myclothes on.
It has been a long timesince that incident andnow I had to go and pickup my order.
I put together a plan tosneak in very quietly, pickup my order and tiptoeout as quietly as I camein.
You know what they sayabout well-laid plans!Whether mine was welllaid or not, it blew up inmy face.
I did slip into the malland found the storewhere my order was. Ipicked them up and qui-etly turned around andstarted for the door. HowI got turned around is anyman’s guess.
Actually, I think itturned around too manytimes. For the next 15minutes, I tried to findthe way I came in so Icould go out.
The trouble startedwhen I hesitated. Istopped to try to get mybearings and in stoppinga young woman ap-
proached me.“How do you do today,
sir,” she said most cheer-fully.
I nodded and tried toget away as graciously aspossible.
She would have none ofit. “And how do you smelltoday, sir?”
Had I been in my rightsense of mind I wouldhave told her I smelledwith my nose. Being in aconfused state of affairs, Ihad no quick come backfor her. It was then thatshe introduced me to herproduct.
I must confess I am notup-to-date with all of thebody lotions and per-fumes that are availabletoday. I shave in themorning, splash some af-tershave on my face, rubsome deodorant undermy armpits and that is asfar as I go.
This young woman tookme for a potential cus-tomer of her body lotionsand ointments and per-fumes. I suppose manypeople are concernedwith how they smell. I amnot one of them.
My basic philosophyalong this line is simply, ifI cannot stand my ownsmell, I take a shower. Iknow when it is time totake a shower when I cansmell myself.
She wanted to intro-duce me to some body lo-tions and ointments andperfumes that wouldmake me smell alluring toanybody I met during theday.
Personally, I do nothave a “Bucket List” butif I did this would not beone of the items on it.
Trying to be polite, I in-formed the young womanI was late for an appoint-ment and needed to geton right away.
“Oh,” she said verycheerfully, “this will nottake long at all.”
With that said, and be-fore I could process whatshe said, she began rub-bing my face with bodyointment or lotion ofsome sort.
I froze and for a fewmoments, I could noteven move. Even the littlegrey cells upstairs wereshocked into a rare stateof stillness.
“Now, you smell won-derful.”
It was at that time I re-tired with honor my gen-tlemanly manners andstarted running as fast asI could run without draw-ing too much attention tomyself.
I smelled that “fra-grance” for three days inspite of the fact that I took17 showers in the mean-time.
Sometimes our focus isalways on the outside. Ilike what Jesus said,“Woe unto you, scribesand Pharisees, hyp-ocrites! for ye make cleanthe outside of the cup andof the platter, but withinthey are full of extortionand excess” (Matthew23:25).
It does not matter howgood I smell on the out-
Is it a fragrance or a stench?Out to Pastor
Dr. James Snyder
side if there is stench onthe inside. I want to focuson my inside and make itas fresh as possible. Thatis the fragrance Godsmells.

For consumers about to make a hearing aid purchase, and anyone interested in learning about hearing. Hearing and Hearing Aid Pricing and Technology Disclosed
Just the Lowest Price with th e Best Technology & Service
What are Hearing Aid Channels and Bands?
Two of the most important characteristics of hearing aids are “Channels” and “Bands”… which are also some of the most misunderstood by users.
To start off with, the number of channels or bands has nothing to do with the number of programs or volume settings. Sounds are processed and amplified by a hearing aid based on frequencies (or the pitch of a sound) and
volumes. A peek at your audiogram will tell you how much amplification you need for any given frequency. In a nutshell, bands and channels thus determine how granular a hearing aid can process and amplify the sounds it perceives. To quote a great explanation from Philips:
“A band is what is used to control volume in different frequencies. This allows us to adjust more volume in a specific area of your hearing loss without effecting other areas where you might
need less volume The more bands the hearing aid offers the more room we have to fit the aid to your hearing loss.
Channels break up the frequency range into individual channels. This allows the hearing aid to differentiate noise from speech. The more channels the hearing aid has the more fine tuned it can be. For instance the sound of keys falling on a table, or water running in the sink may be overwhelming. When your hearing aid offers many channels we can adjust each
frequency that is too loud without sacrificing the things you want to hear, like your spouse or boss.”
Thus, just the way a high-resolution picture gives you a sharper image, more bands and channels provide you with a more granular sound quality. More channels will provide better “resolution” on the frequencies and more bands will mean better “resolution” on the volume… thus allowing your hearing aid to match your audiogram more accurately.

ple from the left-wing Daily Kos.Bauer writes: “Obamacare’s continued horrendous
rollout (See next item) will likely cause the scales tofall from many eyes. Even some liberals are ques-tioning Obamacare.We need to make sure that friendsand family members who bought into the hype abouthope and change know that it doesn’t have to be thisway. We can do better.”
The good news – if you can call it that – is that Oba-macare is non-discriminating. It’s putting the screwsto every American – rich and poor, Democrat and Re-publican, liberal and conservative.
In the above-referenced Daily Kos piece, headlined“Obamacare will double my monthly premium (ac-cording to Kaiser),” liberal blogger “Tirge Caps” cap-tures the shock experienced by most Americans –even “progressive” Americans – over the promise ofObamacare vs. the reality of Obamacare:
My wife and I just got our updates from Kaisertelling us what our 2014 rates will be. Her monthly hasbeen $168 this year, mine $150. We have a high de-ductible. We are generally healthy people who don’tgo to the doctor often. I barely ever go. The insuranceis in case of a major catastrophe.
Well, now, because of Obamacare, my wife’s rate isgoing to $302 per month and mine is jumping to $284.
I am canceling insurance for us and I am not payingany … penalty. What the hell kind of reform is this?
Oh, OK, if we qualify, we can get some government
assistance. Great. So now I have to jump through an-other hoop to just chisel some of this off. And we don’tqualify, anyway, so what’s the point?
I never felt too good about how this was passed andwhat it entailed, but I figured if it saved Americansmoney, I could go along with it.
I don’t know what to think now. This appears, in myexperience, to not be a reform for the people.
What am I missing? I realize I will probably getscreamed at for posting this, but I can’t imagine I amthe only Californian who just received a rate increasefrom Kaiser based on these new laws.
Not only will you get screamed at, Mr. Caps, but youmay want to prepare for an unexpected IRS audit.America feels your pain, my friend.
The proof is in the pudding.And Obamacare is poison pudding indeed.

This past summer Wallace Barrett,known to nearly everyone as Wally, ac-cepted the position of Branch LibrarySupervisor III of Freedom Public Li-brary.
Wally has a Bachelor’s degree in Eng-lish Literature from the University ofFlorida and a Master’s degree in Li-brary and Information Science fromFlorida State University. Not only doeshe know the complexities of a library,he’s no stranger in the kitchen. Wallyworked seven years as a chef at theHaile Plantation Golf and Country Clubin Gainesville until he decided tochange professions. His library careerbegan at the University of FloridaSmather’s Library as a circulation su-pervisor. He came to Marion CountyPublic Library System as a Public Serv-ices Assistant at the Dunnellon Branch,then to the Freedom Branch as a Li-brarian II. All were stepping stones tohis current position.
When asked to share his vision for thefuture of Freedom Public Library, he re-sponded, “I hope to maintain Free-dom’s well set path as a hub of thecommunity and excellent provider ofresources to all of our patron communi-ties. I hope to continually assess theneeds of the community and respondaccordingly. Of course it would be won-derful to see an expansion of the Free-dom Library building, staff andresources.”
This past spring he and his familymoved to Ocala from Gainesville, elim-inating the long commute.
“I have had in my life the wonderfulopportunity to travel the U.S. and othercountries,” Wally tells us. “I like food,music, the ocean, and being a librarianis actually my dream job!”
Spare time, when he finds it, is spentwith family enjoying the outdoors, oftenat the ocean, and, yes, cooking.

Stone CreekFall Festival
The decorations werebright with a fall and
Halloween feel to themat the Stone Creek FallFestival last weekend.

Fall is that wonderful season inthe north where the leaves turnvivid colors of red, yellow, orange
and brown. The air is crisp and onestarts to take the warmer clothes out ofstorage.
There is apple and pumpkin pickingalong with baking of all things pumpkin.
It is just a beautiful time of the year.Fall in Florida is somewhat different
but the Del Webb Stone Creek residentswere treated to a Fall Festival with allthings reminiscence of fall in the north.Lifestyle Director, Kim Kroystopa andmany volunteers planned this event formonths.
All clubs, groups and neighborhoodswere given supplies to make a “scare-crow.”
As you see the pictures you will no-tice there are not many “scarecrows”but some great designs.
This year’s Fall Festival was spon-sored by the following merchants: Af-fordable Carpet Cleaning, DigitalCommunications Media (DCM), CLAEstate Services, First Service Residen-tial, Friendship Golf Carts, GalaxyHome Solutions, International EnergySavers, Lindsay, Crabb & Associates,National Cremation, Ocala Golf Cart,Papa John’s Pizza, Pro-Closet Design,Pulte, Raymond James Financial Serv-ices, Sunshine Solar Group, Swan Fi-nancial Services. There were 20-plusvendors advertizing their products.
