Donahue Wins White Mountain 150 ACT Race

NORTH WOODSTOCK, N.H. -- John Donahue collected the fourth victory of his American Canadian Tour career when he won the White Mountain 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park.

It was a crowded chase around the quarter-mile oval. There were 31 cars in the starting field.

Goodyear is the exclusive tire provider for the ACT and its Canadian sister series, the Serie ACT Castrol. Both series held events over the weekend and drew a total of 57 cars. In addition to the two touring series, Goodyear is also the exclusive tire provider for the weekly late model stock car programs at short tracks around the region where the ACT rulebook is followed.

Donahue started sixth on his way to victory. Randy Potter, who finished second, started 21st. Wayne Helliwell Jr. was third, followed by Brian Hoar and Jamie Fisher.

The picturesque White Mountain venue is a popular stop on the ACT circuit.

Florida Governor Heeds Nursing Home Industry and Fires Advocate ...

Florida governor Rick Scott is making headlines for canceling the state's high-speed train project, but in another, less-noticed move he may be derailing protections for long-term care residents by firing their chief advocate in the state. The decision, an apparent capitulation to the wishes of the long-term care industry, has alarmed resident advocates, who fear a decline in their ability to protect the institutionalized elderly from substandard care and abuse.  The ousted advocate, Brian Lee, was director of the Florida Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program , a position he had held for seven years. Every state is required to have an ombudsman program that serves as an independent voice for residents -- addressing resident complaints and advocating for improvements in the long-term care system. Florida is perhaps unique in the nation in that all of its 300 ombudsmen are volunteers, not paid employees. The volunteers make annual inspections of licensed long-term care facilities and try to resolve problems. "The ombudsman's role is to focus very narrowly on the representation of the residents," Hank Stevens, a volunteer ombudsman in Broward County, told ElderLawAnswers. "These vulnerable citizens have no lobbyists, trade council, or collectively, any representation -- except for what the volunteer ombudsmen provide. In the process of doing that, I suspect that we are, at best, a bit of a frustration for the long-term care industry."  By all accounts the volunteers' leader, Brian Lee, was a passionate champion of the elderly, but one who crossed swords with the long-term care industry more than once. Immediately prior to his removal he had requested that the state's 677 nursing homes make public the names of their owners and operators, something that is required under the new federal health care law. Earlier, he had asked owners to demonstrate they had enough food and water set aside for residents in case of an emergency like a hurricane.  When Republican Rick Scott won the governorship, the Florida Assisted Living Association sent him a letter recommending that Lee be replaced with someone friendlier to their industry. Scott seems to have listened, although Lee was given no explanation for his removal, according to the Miami Herald . (Governor Scott's office has not responded to ElderLawAnswers' request for comment.
