A memorial service to honor the victims of the September 11th tragedy is scheduled for Tuesday, September 11, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. at Sims Park, New Port Richey. This is an opportunity for the community and visitors to reflect on our nation’s loss and remember the victims and their families. The memorial service serves as a time for the people of Pasco to unite as Americans, participate in prayer by local clergy and hear patriotic music by the Richey Concert Band and choral groups from local schools. The keynote speaker will be Eric Allen, LCDR, Chief Inspections Division, USCG Sector St. Petersburg (Prevention), who serving in New York on 9/11/01.
A committee of governmental agencies, local businesses and citizens has organized the memorial this year. The public is invited to bring their 9/11 memorabilia for inclusion in a showcase under a display tent during the memorial that will serve as a tribute to the victims. In addition, community members are also encouraged to participate in “Operation Shoebox.” Operation Shoebox was founded in 2003, as an effort to send support, snacks and much needed personal care items to our troops deployed outside of the USA. Donations, including items such as hard candy, canned food, all kinds of toiletries, small board games and crossword puzzles, from individuals or groups can be made at the memorial service. Red Cross and Sand Soldiers of America will also be on site that evening.
Sims Park is located at the intersection of Grand Boulevard and Circle Drive. For more information about the City of New Port Richey, please visit the City’s website at www.cityofnewportrichey.org. City hall is located at 5919 Main Street; telephone (727) 853-?1016.
"We invite our community to join in this memorial as we unite as a community to remember the loss our nation suffered and to honor the brave heroes in our military who are fighting daily to protect our freedom," said Committee Chairman Heather Fiorentino.

If you have been involved in an accident and are preparing for a meeting with a personal injury lawyer, you may be nervous and likely have no idea where to start. First, if your prospective personal injury attorney has sent you a questionnaire, fill it out and return it before your meeting. Second, begin gathering important documents. These may include copies of an accident report, medical bills, hospital records, and more. Finally, you want to be prepared with questions. Here are a few questions to start with:
What are your areas of practice and how much experience do you have?
Graduating from law school and passing the bar exam does not make a lawyer an expert in every possible area of practice. Most attorneys focus their practice on a few specific areas, and it is important to find an attorney with experience in personal injury cases to handle your case.
How do you handle fees?
Many personal injury lawyers will handle your case on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will only owe the personal injury lawyer if you recover from the other party, and the amount you owe will be a set percentage that varies depending on the amount of the award. In some cases, an attorney may work on an hourly fee or charge a set fee for a certain type of case.
What should I expect?
If you have never had to hire a personal injury attorney before, you likely have no idea about the legal process, the timeline you’re facing, or what else to expect. While you should be wary of any lawyer who promises a big settlement or victory, an experienced personal injury lawyer can explain potential outcomes and what you should expect in your type of case.

A vehicle collision can be detrimental for a number of reasons. In addition to serious physical complications, it may produce significant financial repercussions due to high medical bills and lost wage compensation. However, you can employ several defensive driving strategies to avoid an automobile accident and the subsequent need for a personal injury lawyer.
Avoid driving in the left lane.
Otherwise known as the fast lane, the left lane is associated with the highest rate of highway crashes than any other lane. By staying in either the center or right lane, you afford yourself more escape routes to avoid potential accidents. Also, by virtue of its name, the fast lane typically attracts individuals who want to drive speedily, which increases the chance of a collision and the involvement of an auto accident lawyer in cases of injury.
Monitor the traffic in front of you.
Rather than watching only the vehicle immediately ahead of your own, concentrate as well on cars that are a hundred feet beyond. Focusing on these vehicles to determine if they are moving at a steady speed, slowing down, or stopping altogether will allow you the greatest amount of time to respond properly.
Keep an eye on suspicious drivers.
A hugely effective defensive driving strategy is observing other drivers for unsafe driving practices. If you notice a fellow driver sporadically breaking or weaving between lanes, remove yourself from that car’s proximity as quickly and safely as possible. The driver may be tired, intoxicated, or impaired for any number of reasons; regardless, they pose a considerable risk to those around them. To prevent a potential car accident, create as much distance between yourself and that car. If possible, contact authorities if you witness any erratic driving behavior while on the road.
