Residents were decked out in red,
white and blue Monday morning,
lining St. Johns Avenue for the
annual Memorial Day parade.
Junior ROTC members led the
parade, followed by local veterans,
veterans’ organizations and service
members, whom the day’s festivities
honored.
“It’s great to see people out,” said
Lester Sheppard, a past chaplain for
Palatka American Legion Post 45. “I
wish more people would come out to
support our vets. It’s very important.”
An Army veteran, Sheppard said
he has made appearances in
Palatka’s patriotic parades for the
last seven or eight years. Through
the American Legion, he helps support his fellow veterans throughout

the year.
A somber moment followed the
roar of the parade, as four helmets
and boots were mounted atop a
large Army Reserve truck.
Historically, Memorial Day is
observed in remembrance of those
U.S. service members who died for
their country.
Seven-year-old Hayden Starling
said he enjoyed the big trucks and
old vehicles featured in this year’s
parade.
“I like all the old cars. I have an
old truck,” he said.
Hayden’s sister, 4-year-old
Kennedy Tillis, said she liked the
horses.
Their mother, Palatka resident
Ashley Tillis, said she brings her
children to the Memorial Day
parade every year.
Scheduled to move fuel from New York to
Maine, the appropriately named inland fueltanker barge New York 30 made a splash at
its launch after 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
Christened with a bottle of champagne by
Patricia DiZazzo, the 274-foot-long boat slid
smoothly into the water at the St. Johns
Ship Building Inc. plant.
“It’s like waiting for a baby,” DiZazzo said.
“I am extremely honored to have been asked
to christen the barge.”
DiZazzo waited along with the man she
dates, Joe DiCunzolo, the barge’s owner.
DiCunzolo said he ordered the 30,000-barrel
barge about a year ago.

The medical center is being dedicated Tuesday, years behind schedule.
The center’s groundbreaking was

The VA blamed the delays on problems with contractors.
The complex has 134 inpatient

A sheriff’s deputy is on administrative leave after firing at an armed
man outside a Tampa home.
According to the Hillsborough
County Sheriff’s Office, deputies
responded to a “shots fired” call at
the home late Sunday. At the scene,
they found multiple gunshot holes in
the home and a Buick LaSabre
parked outside.
Authorities say they also encountered an armed man. Sheriff’s Office
spokeswoman Debbie Carter says
Deputy Andrew Glassman fired one
shot but missed the man, who
dropped his weapon.
Carter said Monday that the man
lives at the home and refused to
cooperate with investigators. It’s
unclear what led to the shots fired at
the home and the car.

Blue Crab Festival: Looking Back

Woman poised to join supercentenarians
A central Florida woman is poised to join the ranks of supercentenarians.
Mattie Mae Cisrow will turn 110 years old on Saturday. Her
family threw her an early birthday party last weekend in
Cocoa.
Cisrow’s son said that his mother “didn’t want a big fuss.”
Even so, Mayor Henry Parrish offered Cisrow her second key to
the city — she received her first one at age 105.
Cisrow was born May 30, 1905, in Morgan, Georgia. She
moved to Cocoa in 1935 and started a restaurant with two sisters. She continued to bake pastries until she was 100.
Her daughter said that while Cisrow ended her education
after sixth grade, she encouraged her three children to finish
college, no matter how long it took.

Rutgers football player jailed for robbery
One of the many performing bands at the Blue Crab Festival played for the crowd Saturday evening.
Authorities say a Rutgers football player is jailed in southwest Florida on a robbery charge.
The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office said that Rutgers defensive back Darian Dailey and another suspect confronted a bicyclist with a gun early Sunday and demanded money.
The bicyclist got their license plate number as they drove
away, and authorities arrested the pair in Manatee County.
Dailey, 19, of Bradenton, was held Monday in the Manatee
County jail on a Sarasota County warrant charging him with
robbery with a firearm. Jail records didn’t show whether he had
an attorney.
The other suspect, 19-year-old Trazelle Johnson of Sarasota,
also was jailed on the same charge.
Rutgers coach Kyle Flood told the news station that school
officials “are aware of the situation and are gathering facts.”

Crowd assaults police officer making arrest
Authorities say a hostile crowd assaulted a Florida police
officer while he was trying to arrest a combative man.
Melbourne Police say the officer was arresting 22-year-old
Phoenix Low of Melbourne early Saturday on a city ordinance
violation of carrying an open container of alcohol.
A police statement says Low became combative and attempted to run before the officer wrestled him to the ground.
Cmdr. Vince Pryce says a crowd gathered and began striking
and pulling at the officer, who took out his Taser and told “the
aggressive advancing crowd” to get back.
Pryce says the officer suffered cuts and bruises.

Woman missing from boat off Miami
Rough surf is creating dangerous conditions for swimmers
and complicating rescue efforts along Florida’s coastline.
A swimmer was missing Monday off Ormond Beach, where
another person was unresponsive when pulled from the water
by beach patrol.
Also Monday, the Coast Guard searched for a 26-year-old
woman missing from a boat returning to suburban Miami from
Stiltsville, a cluster of homes built on pilings in Biscayne Bay.
A search was called off for an 11-year-old boy who disappeared Saturday off Jacksonville. On Sunday, authorities used
a personal watercraft to bring a woman to shore in the same
part of Little Talbot Island, but a man remained missing.
Beachgoers pulled two men from the water Sunday on
Daytona Beach Shores. Officials said one died, and the other
remained hospitalized.

Key West’s famed Duval Street will become even more colorful with new rainbow-colored crosswalks.
The crosswalks will be painted this week at the intersection

Helen

Davis
M
ale-dominated Florida government was not ready for Helen
Gordon Davis when she became
the first Hillsborough woman
elected to the Legislature in 1974.
Many lawmakers were condescending if
not contemptuous of the former homemaker, actress, model and community
activist, who was easy to underestimate.
But opponents did so at their peril. Her
male colleagues soon learned the gracious, stylish Davis, who died May 18 of
heart failure at age 88, was not intimidated or deterred by their sexist antics. Soon
they were the ones who were changing
their behavior. They quickly learned
Davis was a fearless crusader for the
underdog.
She had dealt with much worse than
chauvinistic lawmakers. As an 8-year-old,
she lost her father to tuberculosis and
she ended up being hospitalized by the
disease for nearly two years. Later she
would be among the first white females
in Florida to become a member of the
NAACP and helped desegregate the lunch
counter of the Tampa Woolworth’s store
in the 1960s — when civil rights activists
were frequently attacked.
In Tallahassee, where she served in the
House and the Senate, she fought for
rights of women and minorities, worked
to improve public schools and sought to
protect consumers, including fighting an
archaic lien law that allowed a Tampa
couple to lose their $30,000 home
because of an unpaid $256 plumbing bill.
When the Legislature refused to study
why women and minority state employees were paid less for the same job than
white men, Davis raised private donations to pay for the report. Reforms soon
followed.
Although a social liberal, she was a fiscal watchdog and was particularly upset
by non-elected boards levying taxes.
Though she took guff from no one, she
mostly handled opposition with disarming wit. She once told us how a lawmaker
ridiculed her attempts to win funding for
a community radio station with an eclectic play list. He dismissed it as a gay station. Davis sharply deflated the boorish
critic, saying he must be confused
because it played reggae music. The station got the funding.
That was Helen Gordon Davis, charming, fearless and relentless. She is best
known for being a champion of women,
but she made Florida a better place for
all citizens.

A few words of praise
for America’s trees
“I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree …”
e can forgive Joyce
Kilmer for his mixed
metaphor, but we get
the idea he loved trees,
as most of us do. Those of us who
grew up in a rural setting got acquainted by
necessity with trees, and there was no better
place than Tennessee. There are more kinds of
trees growing in that state than any other
state in the country.
A recent article said Tennessee passed a law
that said whiskey made in the state could not
be called Tennessee whiskey unless it was
aged in new, charred, white-oak barrels. That’s
because the world-famous distillery that
makes Jack Daniel’s Old Number Seven in
Lynchburg, Va., ages its whiskey in that manner. Their “used’ barrels are then sold to wineries and other whiskey makers for their aging
process. But now they have to range far and
wide to find enough white oak to supply their
cooperages.
“Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village though …”
The town of Tullahoma is only a few miles
from where I spent my early years. A tannery
there made leather harness for horses and
spun off a small industry of manufacturing
baseball gloves. And because of the plentiful
local ash trees, they began manufacturing
baseball bats. They made a deal to manufacture the famous Louisville Slugger bats for
some time. The town gained a lot of publicity
when big-league stars began visiting to select
wood for their personal bats and having them
made to order. Apparently, big league baseball
isn’t as fussy about the bats players use as the
NFL is about footballs.
“Oh, they cut down the old pine tree,
And hauled it away to the mill …”
My grandfather, on my mother’s side, developed a small cottage industry manufacturing
baseball bats from hickory and ash, along with
handles for axes, hoes and shovels.

The urban legend is that if you toss some pennies into a
birdbath, the copper will help prevent the growth of
algae. But any gardener who has tried this trick recently
may be in for a surprise. Pennies minted after 1982 are
not pure copper. In fact, they are made mostly from zinc,
with just a tiny bit of copper. If you want to prevent algae
growth in your birdbath or vases, try this instead: Pick up
some copper wire or copper plumbing pieces from the
home improvement store. The concentration of actual copper is higher, and it will do the trick of keeping the water
clear.

In the summer of my 16th
year, I worked for a firm that
made barrel staves, which were
used for water containers on
Liberty (cargo) Ships during
World War II. An oddity: My brother served
during WWII on a Liberty Ship in the naval
gun crew, and one of their water barrels was
stamped with that company’s name. He was in
the middle of the Red Sea when he discovered
it.
It may have been Davy Crockett who said, “I
wasn’t born in a log cabin, but my parents
moved into one just as soon as they could

especially red oak, and virtually every house
for 200 years was built of logs, or sawn logs
into timber, and still are.
“Tie a yellow ribbon
‘round the old oak tree …”
As a teenager, I lived in the same house my
great-grandfather built in 1828. It was built of
red oak logs, barked and squared and chinked
with lime mixed with local red clay. It was four
rooms downstairs and two huge rooms upstairs
with huge fireplaces in each end. Even the
chimney bricks were made from local red clay,
fired to the hardness of a rock. The split-cedarshingled roof never leaked. That old house was
a fortress. It was still being used until demolished 10 years ago.

staff and to the approximately 200 Election Day
workers, which also included
our military veterans
(American Legion Post 45),
who have adopted several of
our precincts. Your willingness to work long hours and
your dedication and professionalism is deeply appreciated.
I believe the purpose of
the elections office is to
serve candidates, every
party, and every voter equally and professionally, and to
provide everyone with the
information and knowledge
to help them make an
informed decision concerning candidates and issues.
All of us as citizens have
certain rights and privileges,
and one of the most important is the right to vote.
Please remember that all of
our rights came about
because of the sacrifice of
some many before us.
So, as we begin preparations for the very busy 2016
election cycle, I encourage
all citizens to decide now to
get involved and to vote in
honor or memory of a veteran.

I’ve lived in Bardin for 18
years and my health is bad.
On one occasion I had to call
911 for an ambulance and it
took them about 25 minutes to

the county commissioners
should seriously consider getting an ambulance in Bardin
to keep the people who don’t
have the 25 minutes to wait as
I did. This should be seriously
considered by the county commissioners instead of some of
the things they are talking

SAN MARCOS, Texas —
Record rainfall wreaked havoc
across a swath of the Plains
and Midwest on Sunday, causing flash floods in normally dry
riverbeds, spawning tornadoes
and forcing at least 2,000 people in Texas from their homes.
Tornadoes struck, severely
damaging an apartment complex in Houston, Texas. A firefighter in Oklahoma was swept
to his death while trying to rescue people from high water
“Working with St. Johns
(Ship Building) was great,”
DiCunzolo said. “Bobby
Barfield gave us a good
product. I can’t wait to get it
in the water.”
Barfield, the ship builder’s vice president for production, said the company
has built about eight barges
so far. The barge launched
Saturday weighs 11,000
short tons, or 22 million
pounds. After the installation of thick steel plate, it
can crash through heavy ice
in the northern climate’s
rivers or lakes.
The steel comes from
Jacksonville, Barfield said.
It is all recycled steel.
“All steel is recycled,”
Barfield said. “The steel
here might have been a
Model A in an earlier life.”
Fulfilling other business,
the company also continues
building 4,000-horsepower
tugboats for a Baltimore
company. The newly
launched barge has no
engines and depends on tugs
for its mobility.
Steve Torok added details
expected of a marine engineer. The 30,000-barrel
capacity goes way back to
when petroleum barrels
used for transport held
about 42 gallons.
At various times, 30 to 50
ship fitters, welders and
machinists worked on the
now christened “New York
30.” Torok added, the barge
is of a significant type.
“This barge has a lot of
valves on deck,” Torok said.
“It is a ‘tandem loading’
barge. Two separate products like gasoline and biodiesel can be loaded for
transport.”
After christening, the
barge’s movement into the
water launched a wave over
the other side of the slip
causing fish to flop on land.
The families of workers at
the christening, especially
children, ran to the flopping
fish and tossed smaller ones
back in the water or put a
prize in a bucket for dinner.

fountains have not operated in
years because copper piping
was stolen from it.
According to city documents, Brown went to Palatka
Projects Manager Jonathan
Griffith with her concerns.
“Staff also suggests that the
city develop a plan with the
veterans to renovate Veterans
Memorial Plaza and replace
the existing pond with a vaulted stormwater system (estimated at $150,000),” Griffith
said. “This would be an ideal
location for the splash pad
suggested in the 2009
Riverfront Master Plan.”
The plaza also includes the
submarine veterans memorial
in honor of the U.S.S. Tang.
Brown said she’s had a lot of
calls from people who are concerned about fishing availability along the shoreline as the
city completes renovations at
Riverfront Park.
“The middle portion of the

“We’re honored, very honored, to make sure all (branches of the military) are represented,” Flagg said. “They did

Flagg urged everyone to
take a moment of their day to
remember the sacrifices of not
only the fallen soldiers, but
also the family and friends of
those soldiers.
If it weren’t for the men and
women in the armed forces,
Flagg said, people would not
even be able to gather for
Memorial Day ceremonies and
similar events.
“As we gather here today,
our hearts are touched,” he
said. “We do understand that

Having served in Korea,

their service to the nation,
Memorial Day is not necessarily about the living.
“Today is not about the veterans,” he said. “It’s not about
me or any veterans here. It’s
about those veterans in those

You can tell the difference by their beak

(June 21-July 22)
A chance encounter with an
intriguing individual will brighten
your day. You have a lot on your
plate, but if you keep plugging
away, you will be proud of what
you accomplish.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
Stop procrastinating. If you
have all the information you need,
make a firm decision and stick
with it. Wavering between various choices will end up wasting
everyone’s time.

VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Be open to new experiences.
An invitation that initially might
seem unappealing will bring an
unexpected benefit. Don’t be too
quick to say “no” or walk away.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Don’t allow anyone to treat you
poorly. Chances are, the person
causing you grief has jealousy
issues. Your unique ideas make
you appealing and popular.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
Romance is looking good. You
can bring in some extra cash by
marketing one of your original
ideas. A person from your past
will come back into your life.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
If you are being taken advantage of, consider severing ties and
moving on from an unhappy alliance. Protect against theft of your
possessions and your ideas.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
A business or personal partner
will feel out of sorts. Go out of
your way to include him or her in
whatever you are doing in order to
win points.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
Examine your professional
direction carefully. A possibility
to increase your earnings is likely
to emerge. Networking with business associates is a good way
to keep abreast of marketplace
events.
Dear Harriette: My roommate
and I recently made the bad decision of getting a dog in our apartment. Before we got the puppy,
we both agreed to have “shared
custody” of the pet. A month later,
unsurprisingly, I am the only one
who is doing the dirty work like
cleaning, feeding and walking our
dog. Every time I confront her
about this, she denies not doing
any of the work. I have confronted her several times since then,
and there have been no changes.
What should I do or say to my
roommate to get her to do her
share of the work without causing
too much tension? — Lopsided
Care, Syracuse, New York
Dear Lopsided Care: Sadly,
you cannot force your roommate
to care for the dog, even though
you made an agreement. Your
story is all too familiar, even as it
sounds childish. This is typically
what little children do when they
beg their parents for a pet and
never lift a finger to care for it. In
their case, they may have privileges taken away.

she can stop pretending and that
it’s OK her boyfriend is shorter

Dear Height Differences:
Now is the time to stop tiptoeing
around that elephant. Privately
tell her that you believe that it
makes her uncomfortable that her
boyfriend is shorter than she is.
Why? Because she is constantly
pointing out — in a derogatory
manner — reflective relationships, i.e. couples who are similar to her and her boyfriend. Tell
her how rude it is to make the
judgmental comments that she
makes about these couples. Ask
her if she realizes that she is talking about herself. Plead with her
to stop saying these things. It is
not only mean to those people, it
is hypocritical.

Today is all about fun and

(March 21-April 19)
Don’t try to force your ideas on
others. Give everyone a chance
to make up his or her own mind.
You will be surprised to see where
someone else’s perspective leads
you.
In your case, you may want to
charge her for the services that
you provide. Find out how much a
dog walker gets paid in your area,
and charge her 50 percent of that
cost per week. How much does a
groomer cost, etc.? If you present
her with a weekly bill that reflects
the services she agreed to provide,
you may end up starting an honest
conversation, though it is doubtful that she will fork over the
money. If you have a shared bill
from which you can deduct that
amount, you can try recouping
your loss that way. Just make sure
that you don’t put your electricity
or rent in jeopardy doing so.
Dear Harriette: One of my
friends is in a long-term relationship with a boy who is shorter
than her. I do not think height
should be seen as an issue, but
she denies the obvious height difference between them and goes
on to make fun of girls who
date shorter guys. I know she is
using the mocking as an outlet for
her insecurities, but it creates an
elephant in the room. I have tried
Clare Booth Luce, whose bestknown play, “The Women,” has an
all-female cast, said, “Because I
am a woman, I must make unusual
efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one
will say, ‘She doesn’t have what
it takes.’ They will say, ‘Women
don’t have what it takes.’”
This is the same deal as in
yesterday’s column, but in one
of my classes, a woman holding the South cards made a very
heavy weak jump overcall of three
hearts. This understandably was
passed out.
How did the defense go against
three hearts?
I had anticipated South’s intervening with two hearts, West’s
raising to two spades, and East’s
jumping to four spades.
Then, as explained yesterday,
East gets home by ruffing his
low heart with dummy’s spade
jack.
Against three hearts, West led
her lowest spade. South saw four
top losers (two hearts and two diamonds), so thought she would have
to find the club queen to make her
contract. However, after she won
the first trick with dummy’s spade
ace and led a trump, East went in
with her king and shifted to her
singleton club. Declarer took that
and played a high trump to East’s
ace. Now East had to get West on
lead to receive a club ruff. But
did West hold the spade king or
diamond ace?
West knew that her partner had
led a singleton club. She had carefully dropped a suit-preference
club three at trick three and also
had played low-high in trumps.
So East, getting the message, led
her diamond nine. West overtook
and gave her partner the club ruff.
Then East cashed the diamond
king for down one. Pretty!

1990, coming from Green Cove
Springs.
Perry retired
from the U.S.
Navy following 20 years of service and had
been active in the Fleet

Father Robert Lee Napier
passed into eternal life on
Tuesday, May 19, 2015, after
suffering from
a long and
chronic illness.
He was 67. It
was the very
day he would
have celebrated his 25th
anniversary to
the priesthood.
Father Napier is survived by
his parents, Howard and
Margaret Napier of Brewster,
Ohio; his brother, James
(Michelle) of Westlake Village,
Calif., and their children
Christian and Lindsay; and his
sister, Kathleen (Steve) NapierLevine of Ooltewah, Tenn., and
their children Tyler and C.J.
He was born on Oct. 2, 1947
and grew up on a farm outside
of Brewster, Ohio. He attended Kent State University and
the University of Akron earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology. He later attended St.
Meinrad College in Indiana
and St. Vincent de Paul
Regional Seminary in Boynton
Beach, where he received a
master’s degree in divinity.
Prior to becoming a Catholic
priest, Father Napier worked
for Allegheny Airlines, now
U.S. Airlines, and served on
the personal staff of President
Jimmy Carter during his
administration. He eventually
came to Interlachen as a partner in an antique business
and he worked for the Putnam
County School Board.
It was in Interlachen that
Father Bob said he had one of
those unexplainable mystical
experiences that initiated a
series of changes in his life. “I
walked into a Catholic
Church,” he recounted, “and
found that Mass was going
on.” Father Bob, a Methodist,
had often had thoughts of
becoming a minister, but from
that point, he found himself
drawn to the Catholic faith.
And before the year was up,
he had joined the Catholic
Church. Several years later in
1983, after becoming involved
in lay ministry at St. Monica
Parish in Palatka, Father Bob
made a Cursillo, an intense
weekend retreat experience.
While praying in the chapel,
he recognized in himself a
very strong desire to become a
priest. The following fall he
entered the seminary.
He was ordained to the
priesthood by Bishop John J.
Snyder on May 19, 1990. Since
his ordination, he served as a
parochial vicar at Holy Faith
Parish in Gainesville from
1990-1992, St. Paul Parish in
Jacksonville Beach from 19921998, St. Michael Parish in
Fernandina Beach from 19982002 and pastor of St. John
the Evangelist Parish in
Interlachen from 2002 until
he retired in 2014. Father
Bob, a fourth-degree Knight,
was also chaplain to the
Knights of Columbus Council
8917 and the Knights of
Columbus Assembly 2760. He
also served as a diocesan
Spiritual Advisor for Cursillo.
Father Bob touched the
lives of many, especially his
parishioners in Interlachen.
He is credited with establishing a ministry for the Hispanic
Catholic community in
Interlachen where he said
Mass in Spanish for them on a
regular basis. “I look at life as
a journey,” he said in an article after his ordination in
1990. “Sometimes we recognize Christ along the way,
sometimes we don’t. It’s not
an easy road and for people
who don’t have Jesus Christ in
their lives, I don’t know how
they do it.”
Deacon Fred Brown, who
served closely with Father
Bob at St. John the Evangelist
Parish, said he was a very
spiritual man and a wonderful
mentor. “He had a deep love
for the Lord,” said Deacon
Fred. “He once told me (as a
deacon) if you are going to err,
always err on the side of
mercy.”
A vigil service will be held
today, Tuesday, May 26, from
6:30-8 p.m., with prayer service beginning at 7 p.m. in
Holy Faith Catholic Church,
747 NW 43rd St. in Gainesville,
with Father John Phillips V.F.
Scandals blamed for election results
By Ciaran Giles
Associated Press
MADRID — Spain’s prime
minister acknowledged
Monday he was disappointed
with his party’s showing in
local elections, which he attributed largely to austerity measures his government was compelled to take during Europe’s
recent debt crisis and a recent
string of political scandals.
The elections Sunday in
many Spanish cities and
regions dealt a serious blow to
Mariano Rajoy’s governing
Popular Party. Two new parties
carved out kingmaker roles by
capitalizing on voter disaffection with established parties for
their handling of the economy
among other reasons.
Though the conservative
Popular Party won the most
votes overall, capturing 27
percent of votes cast, it lost
the absolute control it had in
eight of the 13 regions, including in its traditional power
bases of Madrid and Valencia.
The party lost 2.5 million voters since the last local elections four years ago.
Rajoy, who is also the
Popular Party’s leader, said
economic recovery and job creation are priorities before
Spain’s general election this
fall. A nearly eight-year economic crisis has left the country with a 24 percent unemployment rate.
Rajoy also accepted that
corruption scandals involving
his party had eroded public
support.
“We have to get closer to the
Spanish people and communicate better with them,” Rajoy
told a news conference after a
meeting of his party’s national
executive committee. He said
he had no plans to reshuffle
his Cabinet.
The opposition Socialists,
who came in second with 25
percent of the vote, saw their
total number of supporters
drop half a million to 5.6 million in the ballot for seats in
more than 8,100 town halls
and 13 of 17 regional governments
But the left-wing We Can
party and the centrist Citizens
party, two organizations that
only began operating on a
national level last year, fin-
ished a strong third and fourth.
We Can leader Pablo
Iglesias said Monday the result
spelled the end of the two-party system that has dominated
Spain for nearly 40 years.
“The message is that 2015
will be the year of change,” he
said.
Between them, the Popular
Party and the Socialists only
garnered 52 percent of the
nationwide vote Sunday, down
from 65 percent in the 2011
election, but they did manage
to avert the political meltdown
some had predicted.
The conservatives appear to
be losing their 20-year grip on
Madrid’s prestigious town hall,
where a left-wing coalition of
new parties, including We Can,
is best positioned to install
their candidate for mayor.

Nigeria’s leading cellphone
provider said Sunday it
urgently needs diesel to prevent shutting down services
countrywide — the latest business hit by a months-long fuel
crisis in Africa’s biggest oil
producer.
Many aircraft have been
grounded with foreign airlines
diverting to other African
countries to fuel for flights
abroad.
Some radio stations have
been silenced.
Nigeria’s woefully erratic
electricity supply keeps businesses dependent on diesel
generators. Nigeria produces
more than 2 million barrels of
petroleum a day, but imports
almost all refined fuel because
its refineries aren’t maintained.
The party of President-elect
Muhammadu Buhari on
Sunday accused President
Goodluck Jonathan’s government of deliberately wrecking
the economy.
“The whole scenario reeks
of sabotage,” spokesman Lai
Mohammed said in a statement. “Never in the history of
our country has any government handed over to another
a more distressed country: No
electricity, no fuel, workers
are on strike, billions are
owed to state and federal
workers, 60 billion dollars are
owed in national debt and the
economy is virtually grounded.”
Buhari takes office on
Friday.
MTN Nigeria, which has 50
million-plus customers, tweeted that cellphone service will
start deteriorating in 24 hours
if it doesn’t find diesel. Some
customers already are experiencing problems and Nigeria’s
landline network collapsed
years ago.

“MTN’s available reserves
are running low and the company must source for a significant quantity of diesel in the
very near future to prevent a
shutdown of services across
Nigeria,” corporate services
executive Akindale Goodwill
tweeted.
The crisis began when oil
suppliers, hit by tightened
credit lines and unpaid interest, said the government owes
them as much as $1 billion for
fuel and subsidies going back
to October 2014. They said
they could no longer afford to
supply fuel.
Oil tanker drivers unpaid
by the suppliers started striking last week and were joined
Thursday by other oil workers.
The government, reeling
from halved international
prices for petroleum that
provides more than 80 percent of its revenue, is so
cash-strapped it is borrowing
to pay salaries, the finance
minister said earlier this
month.
Minister Ngozi OkonjoIweala denied the debt on
Friday, telling journalists
the suppliers are asking the
government to pay their foreign exchange differential
losses caused by the naira’s
slump from about 160 to the
dollar in December to today’s
218.
She accused oil suppliers of
holding Nigerians to ransom
and said she has asked the
Central Bank of Nigeria to
verify the figures because
“there has been so much
fraud allegations and scams
in this business of oil marketing.”

Our topic of discussion: 3. Coming
close to the finals.
From everything everyone is saying, you can pretty much book it. The
NBA Finals seem set with the Golden
State Warriors, the team that has
sported the NBA’s best record most of
the season, and the Cleveland
Cavaliers, who could easily be called
the Cleveland LeBrons considering
how much this superstar has put his
team on his back this postseason
with the injuries to the team’s other
superstars, Kevin Love and Kyrie
Irving.
First the Warriors. The 115-80
destruction the Warriors inflicted on
the Houston Rockets in front of their
home crowd on Saturday night was
self-explanatory. The Warriors simply wanted to let the Rockets and
their fans know that they should
have stolen that second game in
Oakland. That may have been the
Rockets’ only chance to be in the
series.
Now the Rockets have the unenviable task of having to win four
straight against the best defensive
team in the league? I simply say,
“Good luck with that.” Not gonna
happen. It may be premature, but
let’s congratulate the Warriors on
their first trip to the finals since the
magical 1974-75 run that saw them
sweep the team with the best record
in the league, the K.C. Jones-coached
Washington Bullets (yes, kids, look it
up, they had another name before
they became the Wizards).
Is league Most Valuable Player
Stephon Curry playing as well as the
great Rick Barry did 40 years ago?
You bet he is. Curry just set the playoff record for most 3-point field goals
in a year. The Warriors, who have
been just tough all season long with
complementary players such as Klay
Thompson, Andrew Bogut, Harrison
Barnes and Draymond Green, are
looking like the team to beat.
But that is unless LeBron James
and the Cavaliers have something to
say. So far, the Cavaliers have
imposed their will on a Hawks team
that seems lost in this series, not
having an answer for James and his
“supporting cast” that includes castoffs like Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith,
a former Best Sixth Man of the Year
winner with the New York Knicks,
Tristan Thompson and surprising
Matthew Dellavedova, an Australian
import who has stepped up at the
right time.

Interlachen’s junior shooing
guard is all-county for the first
time, averaging 12 points and
four steals per game. Hall
believes she was his team’s
most improved player.
“She made a lot of points off
the fast break that she didn’t
make last year,” the coach said.
“Once she’s able to spot open
teammates, that will actually
open her up to better shots.”

TAMERA ROBERTS
This is the second all-county
honor for Roberts, who made an
important transition to the point
for Palatka. She had a teamhigh five assists per game to go
with 11 points and two steals for
a district championship team.
“She still led us in three-point
shooting,” Shaw said. “Without a
person leading at the point, we
would have been in trouble. She
still scored from the point.

Outside of that, she still orchestrated on offense and created
things. She was very unselfish.”

closing in

Daily News correspondent
Adam Kersey of Hastings and
Jason Phiel of Palatka took night
bass tournament Thursday at Corky
Bell’s Landing with a total weight of
13.23 pounds. It included the big
fish of the night, tipping the scales
at 6.59 pounds.
Launching from Palatka City
Dock at 5:30 p.m., the anglers have
barely three hours to catch fish,
then travel to the weigh site. But
with a moderate number of teams
competing, it makes the weekly
event competitive and fun.
As the night’s winners in a field of
36 boats, Kersey and Phiel’s payoff
was $500 and an additional $180 for
having the largest bass.
When asked about the how and

Another father/son team, Mark

elimination from the Eastern

Game 6 is tonight at Amalie
Arena. A Lightning victory will send
Tampa Bay to the Cup finals for the
second time in franchise history.
And the Rangers are looking to
extend the series to a seventh game,
which would be played Friday night
in New York.
“You kind of have to realize where
you are and kind of use that as a little bit of motivation,” Stamkos said.
“The harsh reality is, some guys in

to get this far again. Hopefully
everybody does, but you never know

in this sport.”
Stamkos knows first-hand. He
and defenseman Victor Hedman are
the only players remaining from the
Tampa Bay team that came within
one victory of playing in the Cup
finals in 2011. The Lightning lost
Game 7 to Boston 1-0 and didn’t win
another playoff game until this year.
The two-time Maurice Richard
Trophy winner was a young, rising
star on that team. Now, he’s one of
the league’s most prolific scorers,
leading a club that’s flourished in
the playoffs even when Stamkos has
struggled to score.
After failing to find the back of the
net in Tampa Bay’s first eight games
this postseason, Stamkos has scored
in seven of the past 10 to help the
Lightning eliminate Montreal in the
second round and take a 3-2 series
lead over the Rangers.
Williams
The Panthers’ standout center arrives at Ole
Miss June 25, in time to enroll in the summer
“B” session – already having earned 36 credit
hours while dual-enrolled at St. Johns River
State College.
Not only is she an outstanding student, but
already a pretty good teacher of the game of
basketball.
“She has a 4.0 GPA and that translated to
being a coach on the floor,” said PHS coach
Jason Shaw. “She was so smart she knew when
she could take breaks on the floor and tell the
other kids where they needed to be. She was
like a center/point guard.”
Coincidentally, Williams cited her ability to
control the ball from the perimeter as one aspect
of her game in greatest need of improvement.
She’ll major in biological science with an eye
on entering med school for orthopedic surgery, a
choice certainly influenced by her extensive athletic background.
“And the money,” Williams said, laughing.
Strongly influenced by parents John L and
Sharon Williams – yes, dad is the former PHS
star-turned Florida Gator favorite and two-time
Pro Bowl fullback – Jonell puts the degree first,
but also hopes to take the Rebels places they
haven’t been.
“I want to improve my game – shed some
weight and improve myself on the court and off
the court. I’d like to be able to compete on (a
Division I) level, maybe get an edge on the other
girls – and win a national championship,” she

New York overcame a 3-1 deficit
to eliminate the Washington
Capitals in the second round.
They’ve been a resilient team in
reaching the conference finals three
of the past four years, and say they
believe they’re capable of taking the
series back to Madison Square
Garden.
“We’ve obviously been in a few of
these situations in the past and are
very confident that our group is
going to enjoy the opportunity and
enjoy the challenge, get ready for it
and come up with a good game,”
Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said.
“We know the situation we’re in,”
New York center Derek Stepan
added. “We have to stay confident.”
Stamkos had a goal for the fourth
straight game, added an assist on
Sunday night, to key Tampa Bay’s
2-0 victory in Game 5.
said.
And have fun doing it.
That’s what sports have been for Williams
from the time she began playing on her father’s
Mighty Mite team. She’s played just about
everything but soccer and was an all-county
softball player with Peniel as an eighth-grader
before opting for flag football upon enrolling at
Palatka High. The player-coach relationship
with Shaw goes back to Police Athletic League
basketball in the fifth grade.
A couple of years later, Williams became
involved in Jacksonville-based Florida Girls
Basketball and coach Kenny Kallina. All but
two 2015 high school seniors he worked with
have Division I basketball scholarships.
“I started getting (college) mail in the eighth
grade – questionnaires,” Williams said. “That’s
all they could send you under NCAA regulations, but some would send the same thing two
or three times so I was sure they were interested.”
In addition to her parents and coaches, there
was the guidance of her uncle, Terrill Hill, the
1989 Putnam County Football Player of the
Year and an attorney who was elected mayor of
Palatka in November, shortly before she signed
with Ole Miss, choosing the Rebels over
Northwestern.
“Terrill has the tough love,” Williams said.
“He gives it to you straight. You may not like it
at the time, but it makes sense.”
The Panthers started strong again last season, even as wear and tear forced Williams to
wear a knee brace.
“It was a real challenge. She didn’t want to
come off the floor,” Shaw said. “She hated not
playing in that (regular season) Ponte Vedra

The 25-year-old had 43 goals during the regular season and has been
overshadowed for much of the playoff run by the Lightning’s young,
high-scoring “Triplets” line of Tyler
Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Nikita
Kucherov, who’ve combined for 25 of
44 goals in 18 games.
But coach Jon Cooper and
Stamkos’ teammates insist he’s
played well throughout, making
important contributions in areas
other than scoring.
“I think it’s funny how it
works, because the spotlight is on
you so often that everybody just
expects greatness all the time. To
become great, you do fail sometimes. And he’s great. But you
don’t get there by just success.
It’s the guys that fight through
failure that rise to the top,”
Cooper said.

would be easy.”
It wasn’t, as the Sharks can attest.
Ponte Vedra romped, 68-30, as Williams
reluctantly sat out a District 4-5A game Jan. 16.
She scored 36 in the same gym two weeks later
as the Panthers rolled to a 79-56 triumph in the
district championship game.
The knee is fine now, according to Williams,
who was able to block out pain when she was on
the court.
“While playing, you feel nothing. Your adrenaline’s rushing,” she said. “When I got home,
that’s when it started to hurt. That’s when I
threw ice on it. The next day, I was ready to go
another day.”
“Her will and her heart – she has the heart of
a champion,” Shaw said. “There was no stage
too big for her.”
Williams would have loved to have played on
Florida high school basketball’s biggest stage –
the Final Four at the Lakeland Center – but
missed out. A 38-25 loss to Fort Walton Beach
Choctawhatchee in the 2014 Region 1-5A championship game was the closest the Panthers got
since their only Final Four season 20 years earlier.
A fifth straight district title may seem farfetched, but Williams is solidly in the Panthers’
corner.
“I think they still have a bright future. They
just need a couple more girls to get out and
play,” she said. “Hopefully, the idea of me coming from here to a major university will help
drive them.”
Clearly, Williams leaves more than numbers
behind at Palatka High.
There’s the example.

Rockets stay alive behind Harden
HOUSTON – James Harden scored a playoff
career-high 45 points and the Houston Rockets led
from start to finish to avoid elimination in the
Western Conference finals with a 128-115 victory
over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 on
Monday night.
The Rockets used a playoff record-tying,
45-point first quarter to build a big lead. They
were up by 22 in the second quarter when Stephen
Curry landed on his head in a nasty spill and
missed about 12 minutes before returning.
His first field goal after returning came on a
3-pointer that got Golden State within six points
with less than 8 1/2 minutes remaining. But
Harden, who had 17 points in the fourth quarter,
scored the next seven points as part of 10 straight
by Houston to push the lead to 114-98.
Klay Thompson had 24 points and Curry added
23 for Golden State, which moved a win away from
its first trip to the NBA Finals since 1975 after
routing Houston 115-80 on Saturday night to take
a 3-0 lead in the series.
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Cano, Mariners down Rays, 4-1
ST. PETERSBURG – Robinson Cano admitted it
felt great getting a couple key hits.
The second baseman drove in two runs, Roenis
Elias threw six solid innings and the Seattle Mariners
beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 on Monday night.
“Hopefully we start from today,” said Cano, who
raised his average from .247 to .253 after going 2 for
4.
Seattle took a 2-0 lead in the first on RBI singles by
Cano and Nelson Cruz. Cano entered the game hitless in his previous 12 at-bats. He made it 3-1 on a
run-scoring single in the eighth.
Elias (2-1) gave up one run and six hits. Mark
Lowe, Carson Smith and Fernando Rodney, who
pitched the ninth for his 13th save, completed an
eight hitter.
Seattle went up 4-1 in the ninth on Mike Zunino’s
solo homer.
Jake Odorizzi (3-5) allowed two runs and five hits
in seven innings, and Logan Forsythe homered for
the Rays, who have lost three in a row.
Pirates 4, Marlins 2
PITTSBURGH – Charlie Morton gave up two runs
on eight hits, striking out three while getting 18 outs
on groundballs as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the
Miami Marlins.
He needed only 87 pitches while leading the
Pirates to their fourth straight win.
NFL
Goodell will hear Brady appeal
NEW YORK – Roger Goodell will hear Tom
Brady’s appeal of his four-game suspension for his
role in the deflated footballs scandal.
Goodell will not withdraw from what the commissioner considers his responsibility of hearing
the appeal, according to several people with knowledge of the decision. Those people spoke on condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made.
The union asked Goodell to remove himself from
that role because it said he lacked impartiality and
that Goodell would be called as a witness.

Blumenthal
There’s a good chance that we may not see Irving
until the NBA Finals start on June 4. And if coach
David Blatt and the Cavaliers can take care of business in front of their home crowd tonight, they will
go to the finals for the first time since 2007 when
James was putting the team on his back at 22 years
old, but were swept by the San Antonio Spurs.
And this whole issue of comparing James to
Michael Jordan? He shouldn’t be. He’s not Michael
Jordan. No player since his Airness retired for good
in 2003 has shown his kind of stardom and swagger. But former James teammate Shaquille O’Neal
may have said it best the other night on TNT’s
“Inside The NBA.” He agreed that comparing
James to Jordan was incorrect.
James is actually this generation’s Magic
Johnson, who seems to do more spectacular things
than the Lakers’ Hall of Fame point guard did.
James’ numbers in the Game 3 overtime win are
those that even Johnson would have envied: 37
points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists.
Yeah ... he’s Magic Johnson good. And unless the
Hawks figure out what ails them as a team, the
Cavaliers will be facing the Warriors in a matchup
featuring MVPs Curry and James.
The NBA and its marketing heads save themselves an uninteresting championship. This WILL
be interesting.
You can book it. I already have.
