Commission hopeful explains overdue bills

Key West City Commis-
sion hopeful Tony Yaniz
finds himself explaining
why he owes money to the
city he wants to help lead.
Last month, it was more
than 53,000 for sewer and
trash service; that account
has since been made cur-
rent. Now it's $500 fora win-
dow he broke with a softball
at Wickers Field.
According to City docv-
meats, back in August 2010,
Yaniz threw a softball
through the window of the
scorekeeping booth at
Wickets Field off Kennedy
Drive
According to a liability re-
port: 'RTny had complained
that the window was dan-
gerous and unsafe for occu-
pants. In order to prove his
point, he threw the ball at
the window and broke it."
When contacted by city
stall, "He was angry and said
he absolutely refused to pay men's softball league. he has

hen
and was told, "You can hit it
with a two-by-four and it
won't break" Testing that
theory, he "lobbed" a ball
from third base at the win-
dow which shattered.
Yaniz never paid for the
window and the city absorb-
ed the replacement cost
through insurance. Yaniz
said the cost he was quoted
was $2.700 but city spokes -
an Alyson Crean said
the actual cost was 5500.
Yaniz has claimed that
lulio Avsel, his election op-
ponent, is planting stories in
the press as a smear
campaign.
"1 haven't tried to smear
him at all." Avael said.
'There are two facto One
is he hadn't paid his utility
bills and that's a responsibil-
ity that he has and every-
body else has. The other fact
is he had an altercation at
the park and he hasn't paid
for it. There's a pattern
there"

"For 40 Years, I was tortured with unbearable indigestion"
Confessions of an
aced reflux macron
"And How I BEAT the
indigestion Nightmare
that Almost Killed Met"
BYmmRdphai Bun
'Facid rubs sufferer
Here's My Story, I've Suffered
With Acid Reflux for Almost
40 Years Now. Unless you
experience it; you can't imagine
how horrible it is. Every time I ate
spicy foods I would get what I
called 'ROT GUT'. Like something
was rotting in my stomach. But
now I can eat anything... No
matter how spicy. Even if I never
could before.
Let me explain...
For the better pert of my
life; I purposely avoided a lot
of foods. Especially ones with
even a tiny bit of seasoning.
Because if I didn't. I'd experience
a burning sensation through my
esophagus— like somebody
poured hot lead or battery acid
down my throat. Add to that,
those disgusting' mini -throw ups'
and I was in 'indigestion heir.
"Lwas beside toyseif. „

Doctors put me on all sorts of
antacid remedies. But nothing
worked. Or if they did, it would
only be for a brief period. And
then boom! My nightmare
would return.
Sometimes, 1 felt like I was
dying. The pain was unbearable
and nothing could make it stop.
But then my wife, who
occasionally suffered with the
same problem; gave me one of
her prescription acid blodrers. It
was a miracle. I felt like I could
live again. Because before that.
I was just miserable. I wanted
to kill myself. But thankfully, it
worked, and worked well.
I felt great, until about one
year ago; when I read an FDA
warning that scared the heck
out of me. It went something
like this...
FDA WARNING! Using proton
pump inhibitors IPPIa) on a
long term basis, increases your
risk of hip, bona and spinal
fractures.
That's 8 particular concern l0
me, since many acid blockers
are PPI's. I've gone through
two back surgeries and bilateral
hip replacements. I had to ask
myself, could PPI's have been
responsible for my medical
woes? After all...
"The Recommended
Treatment for Prilosece,
Prevacide and Other
PPI's is Only 14-DAYS,
ITookThem
for 14YEARS!"
I was "between a rock end a
hard place': Stop using the PPIs
and I'm a "dead man in the
water: It would be unbearable. I
wouldn't be able to eat anything.
I'd have to go on a water diet.
But that FDA warning was
scary. I knew I had to stop
or else risk developing spinal
steno5is. My mother had that.
And I watched her die a horrible
death. Her spine juSt fractured. It
was the worst death. She didn't
deserve that. And neither do I.

something that didn't
agree with me... I'd get
what I called 'Rot Gut'
— like my stomach was
rotting outl"
I had to quit. So I stopped
taking PPI's for a day or so.
But my indigestion was worse
than ever. I would rather take
the chance of a spinal fracture
than 10 live like that again. I tried
everything. Even started using
home remedies like Apple cider
vinegar. But it just felt like I was
pouring even more acid down
my throat.
Then one day atdinner, a friend
of mine said 'why don't you try
an aloe drink?' I said 'aloe drink'?
Jeez. That doesn't sound good
at all)- The next day he brought
me a case of something called
AloeCure®. I was skeptical, but
I was desperate! So instead of
being an ingrate I decided to try it.
I was shocked! AloeCure®
tasted pretty good too. It has
a pleasant grape flavor that I
actually enjoy drinking. I decided
to experiment. I stopped taking
the PPI's altogether and replaced
it with is daily diet of AloeCure®.
Then something remarkable
happened... NOTHING! Not even
the slightest hint of indigestion.
And here's the best part. The
next day we had Italian food —
my worst enemy. But for the
first time in 40 years I didn't
get indigestion without relying
on prescription or OTC pills and
tablets. Finally, I just didn't need
them anymore!
I was so thrilled; f wrote the
AloeCureeS company to tell them
how amazing their product is.
They thanked me, and asked me
to tell my story... The story that
changed my life. I said "Sure.
but only i1 you send me a hefty
supply o1 AloeCure®. I just can't
live without it.'
But don't believe me. You
have to try this stuff for yourself.
I recommend AloeCure® to
anyone who suffers with the
same problem I did. It gives you
immediate relief.You'II be grateful
you did. I sure am. It's the best
thing that's happened to me in a
long, long time.
