Putnam County’s only public dog park

with a partnership between Putnam
County Parks and Recreation and the

TALLAHASSEE — New
restrictions on abortion in
Florida won state House
approval Thursday, including a
provision aimed at preventing
public money from going to
Planned Parenthood affiliates.
In contentious debate, supporters said the bill was aimed
at protecting women’s health,
but opponents said it’s an
unconstitutional attempt to
limit access to abortions and
will end up in court, costing the
state legal fees.
House Bill 1411 passed on a
74-44 vote, mostly along party
lines. A Senate companion bill
has passed its committees and
is ready for a floor vote.

sides say the bill may face more

Q.I. Roberts’ band growth requires more money, officials say
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
BY ASIA AIKINS
Palatka Daily News
A “burst” in growth at Q.I. Roberts JuniorSenior High School is leading to more interest in the school’s band — and more costs.
“Q.I. was such a small middle school for a
long time, but with the additional high
school students, the (band) program is growing,” said Karl Wendell, a business teacher
at Q.I. Roberts and band supporter. “We’ve
had exponential growth with the Cambridge
program.”

Next year, the school will have its first
senior class. And as the school grows, so does
the demand for extracurricular activities.
“Last year, all together, we had 37-38 people in (a combined) band,” Wendell said.
“This year, we went to 60. We expect 25-30
more next year, bringing our total to about
90 kids.”
The school added a beginning band program this year to accommodate its youngest
students, in addition to its jazz and concert

2 Florida cities among
leaders in home ‘flipping’
Two Florida metro areas were
among the leaders last year in house
flipping.
The research firm RealtyTrac said
Thursday that Tampa and the Daytona
Beach metros had among the nation’s
highest rates of people purchasing
homes and selling them within a year.
That practice is known as “flipping.”
RealtyTrac said more than 9 percent
of the homes sold in the Tampa and
Daytona Beach metro areas were flips.
Only Memphis, Tenn.; Fresno, Calif.;
and Las Vegas had higher rates.
Nationwide, about 5.5 percent of all
home sales were flips.

On March 4, 1966, John Lennon
of The Beatles was quoted in the
London Evening Standard as saying,
“We’re more popular than Jesus
now; I don’t know which will go first
— rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity.” After
his comments caused an angry backlash in the United States, Lennon
sought to clarify his remarks, telling
reporters, “If I had said television
was more popular than Jesus, I

School.
Baltimore is the only
Maryland city whose school
district has its own police
force, separate from municipal
police. The school system
asked city police to conduct a
criminal investigation, which
city police Lt. Jarron Jackson
said was in the early stages
Thursday.
The video illustrates deepseated problems requiring
systemic reform, said the
Maryland Coalition to Reform
School Discipline, a group that
includes the American Civil
Liberties Union, the Maryland
NAACP and the state public
defender’s office. There have
been several incidents of
school police using unwar-
ranted force against students,
spokesman Evan Serpick said
in a statement.
The lack of outside oversight is unacceptable and
potentially dangerous, Serpick
said.
“The Baltimore city community needs to have a serious
conversation about whether
police belong in schools at all,”
he said. “If police are going to
be in our schools, they must be
a positive, supportive force
that creates safer environments for our children.”
At least two mayoral candidates also weighed in. One of
them, Democratic civil-rights
activist DeRay Mckesson,
said in a statement the officer
who hit the youth should be
fired.
State Sen. Catherine Pugh,
who is also running for the
Democratic nomination, called
in a statement for a thorough
and transparent investigation
of the incident.
It’s not clear what led up to
the encounter, or what happened after the camera
stopped recording. Jackson
said the video would not be
released immediately because
it is part of the investigation.
Acting Baltimore School
Police Chief Akil Hamm said
officers were called to the
school for a report of intruders
on campus. He said the youth
was not a student at REACH,
but the young man’s lawyer,
Lauren Geisser, said he is a
10th-grader listed on the
school’s enrollment roster.
Superbugs cause 1 in 7 hospital infections
The agency’s director, Dr.
Tom Frieden, called the longterm statistic especially “chilling.” Those patients often
have been under medical
treatment for longer periods
and have had more opportunity to be exposed to superbug
infections, officials said.
Antibiotics became widely
available in the 1940s, and
today are used to kill or suppress the bacteria behind everything form strep throat to the
plague. But as decades passed,
some antibiotics stopped working. Experts say their overuse
and misuse have helped make
them less effective. Health officials have been raising alarms
about it for years.

OTHER VIEWS
State agency
should take
leading role
I
n retrospect, it probably was unrealistic to
believe the state Legislature would pass a bill
this year mandating state police investigations of all officer-involved deaths — especially when key legislators aren’t even aware there’s a
problem.
Sen. Geraldine Thompson, D-Orlando, is sponsoring SB 810, which would require the state
Department of Law Enforcement investigate any
time an officer’s use of force results in someone’s
death. More than two-thirds of law agencies in the
state investigate their own officers’ shootings of
civilians. Throughout Volusia and Flagler counties,
though, the state law enforcement department is
called in to investigate all such shootings. There
aren’t even standards for compiling data.
Thompson’s bill — and its companion in the
House, HB 933, sponsored by Rep. Shevrin Jones,
D-West Park — would give a more complete picture
of the circumstances surrounding police use of
force. Having an outside agency review all officerinvolved deaths also would bolster public confidence in the integrity of the investigations.
Unfortunately, the Senate and House bills are still
stuck in committees awaiting hearings, and the
clock is ticking: The Legislature will adjourn March
11. It’s highly unlikely the measures would make it
to floor votes before the final gavel sounds.
The state law enforcement department has been
a primary obstacle to progress. The agency’s analysis projected the bill would cost $1.6 million annually to pay for the additional 13 investigators needed, and the investigative process would take even
longer than it already often does in these cases.
The money, though, represents only 0.53 percent
of the department’s total budget and 1.3 percent of
what it spends for investigations and forensics.
That’s a modest and worthwhile investment to
ensure officer-involved deaths are properly vetted
and individuals are held accountable for their
actions.
These roadblocks would be mere speed bumps if
there were sufficient political will to drive the bills.
The lack of urgency — and ignorance surrounding
the issue — was glaringly illustrated by Sen. Greg
Evers, R-Milton, chairman of the Criminal Justice
Committee. When he said he was not sure whether
the bill would be placed on the committee’s agenda,
he also indicated he didn’t see a pressing need for
the bill. He believed the state law enforcement
department already kept track of officer-involved
shootings.
They don’t.
If the committee chair is unaware of the situation,
how many other lawmakers are in the dark? And of
those, how many care?
Clearly, improving the system must begin with
educating decision-makers about its deficiencies.
That can’t be accomplished in two weeks; it will
require months of groundwork. If enough have
their eyes open, they can push back against the
state law enforcement department’s bureaucratic
resistance and get legislation passed next year.

not sound good. At the time, I happened to

colleagues and admirers. We prayed. We
were not alone. Robby is one of those people
who, like Justice Scalia, are irreplaceable.
Our public and intellectual lives wouldn’t be
the same without him.
He’s long back at work now. And so I naturally thought of him during the controversy over clothing retailer Lands’ End and a
profile of feminist icon Gloria Steinem that
ran in its spring catalog — a profile that led
to a massive outcry from customers and an
apology from the company. In numerous
interviews over the years, Steinem has said,
“Gratitude never radicalized anybody.”
Steinem’s comment stuck in my mind
because it struck me as so very wrong.
Gratitude can change everything radically.
When Robert George found himself in the
hospital with a life-threatening condition,
he was overwhelmed with prayer.
“People who were praying for me flooded
my email box with messages,” he recalled.
He got calls from Cardinal Timothy Dolan
and a Mormon elder. He heard from ultraOrthodox Jews in New Jersey, historically
black churches, Baptists, Presbyterians,
Assemblies of God, evangelicals, Eastern
Orthodox, Anglicans, Baha’is and Muslims
who were praying for him, too.
“My reaction to all of this was pure,
unadulterated, overwhelming gratitude —
gratitude to God,” George said, “not only for
for oneself. The only truly sane way to live
one’s life is for others. Radically.”
Looking around and really, truly giving
thanks — being overwhelmed by love.

$2.5 million in renovations
began — as the building was
completely gutted and remodeled to suit each district department’s needs.
“Two million dollars sounds
like a lot of money, but it’s really
not when it comes to commercial construction,” Gattschall
said. “When we talk about purchase of the entire city block,
minus the Larimer building,
plus the remodel, it cost us $130
per square foot. People buy
houses for $100 a square foot.”
The Campbell Building is valued at more than $1.1 million,
according to the Putnam
County Property Appraiser’s
website.
According to Palatka
Planning Director Thad Crowe,
the building is located in the
city’s South Historic District
and expected to uphold historic
preservation.
“Exterior changes, new construction and site alterations
are subject to review by (city)
staff and the Historic
Preservation Board,” Crowe
said.
While it has not sold,
Gattschall said he has shown
the building to about five groups
interested in purchasing the
building for various uses.
“I think there’s federal grant
money for historic building renovations in Florida,” he said. “So
I think some of them might
have applied for that money,

they can get it.”

Smith previously served in
the state Senate from 2001 to
2006, before resigning to run for

state attorney.
In his statement, he said his
vote wouldn’t be for sale, and he
wouldn’t play political games.
Instead, Smith said, he plans to
work hard so local residents can
have better schools, a criminal
justice system that works, safe

jobs.
“I promise you, if you want a

Wendell said a government

Director) Angie (Whisnant).”
Whisnant said she met with officers
about a year ago, and the two departments agreed to work together on the
obstacle course.
“It was great that they were willing to
construct the course since they have the
skill set,” Whisnant said.
Surrency said his unit agreed to build
the obstacles, and Parks and Recreation
paid for the materials.
Perry, the vice chairman of
the House Education
Committee, is a small businessman and longtime public servant.
Perry said his love of family
and deep roots in the area
makes him the perfect candidate to be the voice of local constituents.
“As a husband, father and
small business owner, I am concerned about the future of our
education system and economy
– and I want to do everything I
can to lend a helping hand,”
Perry said in a statement. “It’s
also why, as your senator, I’ll
work hard to keep the government off your back and out of
your pocketbook.”
Perry graduated from high
school, opened his business and
raised his children in Alachua

Wendell said, band boosters

said the fundraising resulted in
a new piano and concert bass,
and covered the cost of many
instrument repairs.
But the $1,200 contributed
from the school district for the
band is only about a third of the
additional funding the band
will need next year, Wendell
said.
“We’ve just experienced a
burst in growth,” he said, “but
we’re adjusting.”

Whisnant said her department
bought materials as needed for the project, but the total cost for two obstacle
courses is $1,600.
“We need the larger obstacles for our
dogs, but that wasn’t fair to the little
dogs,” Surrency said. “We scaled down
the course for the small dog side (of the
park).”
Surrency said the park will have 20
obstacles, with 11 to 12 on the large dog
side and nine planned for the small dog
side. It includes a low crawl, fences to
jump over and a window for canines to
jump through. On the large dog side, a
catwalk with a ladder will be available.
Surrency said the obstacles would
Marion and Putnam, as well.
There are many challenges
facing District 8 and Florida as a
whole, he said, which is why the
district needs someone like him

“I believe in this community,”
Perry said. “We have some of the
brightest and hardest working
individuals in all of Florida living here. I’m proud to be one of
the hardworking, everyday folks
that puts in the daily effort that
makes where we live one of the
greatest places in the world
– and I really believe it is.”
Perry and Smith will face no

Surrency said pieces for the course

Construction is expected to last a
month, but the park is open and usable.

opposition in the Senate, but
Senate President Andy
Gardiner, R-Orlando, has publicly supported it.
It prohibits government
agencies, including local
health departments, from
using public money to pay for
any services from any clinic
that also provides abortions.
Current law prohibits public
money from paying for abortions, but the bill would also
eliminate contracts by which
county health departments
pay Planned Parenthood affiliates or other abortion providers for birth control and other
services to the poor.
The bill says doctors who
perform abortions must have
admitting privileges at a nearby hospital, or the clinic must
have a patient transfer agreement.
It intensifies inspection
requirements for clinics that
perform abortions and redefines gestation and dates for
the pregnancy trimesters,
which affect when abortions
can occur.
Opponents criticized the
lack of medical evidence for
the requirements placed on
abortion providers or for the
change in definitions of the
human gestation period.
They said it would be nearly
impossible for physicians at
abortion clinics to hold admitting privileges, because complications from abortions are
rare and don’t generate
enough hospital admissions to
meet requirements for the
privileges.
“We know what’s going on
here,” said Rep. David
Richardson, D-Miami Beach.
“What it really means is you’re
trying to close these clinics
through these regulations.”
That would only result in
more health complications
from self-induced or illegal
abortions, they contended.
“There is nothing we can do
that’s going to stop women
from having abortions,” said
Rep. Joe Geller, D-Aventura.
Current law prevents government money paying for
abortions, but supporters
including sponsor Rep. Colleen
Burton, R-Lakeland, argue an
entire organization, such as
Planned Parenthood, benefits
from money paid for any service.

Romney, McCain: Trump a danger for America’s future
Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH
Fight between old friends ends with a death
Authorities said an argument between men who’d known
each other since childhood ended with the death of a man who
tried to break up the fight.
Police said 25-year-old Jarrod Swinton yelled at the men as
they argued outside a home Tuesday night. When the altercation got physical, Swinton approached them.
Chief Mike Chitwood said 27-year-old Rayshad Mincey then
grabbed a gun from his truck and shot Swinton in the chest.
The other man drove Swinton to the hospital and told detectives he knew the shooter.
Chitwood said the men had known each other since they
were 8.
Mincey was arrested. He’s being held on a first-degree murder charge. Jail records don’t say whether he’s hired an attorney.
JACKSONVILLE
Father convicted in beating death of daughter
A Jacksonville jury needed just 20 minutes to convict a former
high school teacher in the death of his 4-year-old daughter.
The verdict handed down Wednesday means 32-year-old John
Ross Norfleet will likely spend the rest of his life in prison for the
January 2015 death of Jada Norfleet.
Prosecutors said John Norfleet and the girl’s stepmother,
34-year-old Shavonn Chanyell Norfleet, disciplined the child by
hitting her with a piece of lumber.
John Norfleet was convicted on charges of first-degree murder,
aggravated manslaughter of a small child and aggravated child
abuse.
SALT LAKE CITY — In an extraordinary display of Republican chaos, the
party’s most recent presidential nominees, Mitt Romney and John McCain,
lambasted current front-runner Donald
Trump on Thursday, calling him unfit for
office and a danger for the nation and the
GOP.
“His is not the temperament of a stable, thoughtful leader,” Romney declared.
He called Trump “a phony” who is “playing the American public for suckers,” a
man whose “imagination must not be
married to real power.”
Hours later, Trump lashed back, calling Romney “a choke artist” who lost to
Barack Obama four years ago only
because he was such a poor candidate.
The vicious feud marked a nearunprecedented scenario pitting the
Republican Party’s most prominent leaders, past and present, against each other
as Democrats begin to unite around
Hillary Clinton.
Underlying the clash is a bleak reality
for panicking Republican officials:
Beyond harsh words, there is little they

Back-to-school tax holiday scaled back
Florida’s back-to-school sales tax holiday will be scaled back
this year.
A key Senate panel Thursday approved a bill that would cut
back the tax holiday from 10 days to just three days in August.
During that time period, shoppers will be able to purchase
clothes and school supplies without paying sales taxes.
Legislators are limiting the tax holiday to clothes that cost
$60 or less. Last year, the tax holiday covered anything that
cost $100 or less. This year’s tax holiday will not cover the purchases of computers like it did in 2015.
The House had initially proposed a 10-day back to school
sales tax holiday. But during budget negotiations legislators
scaled back how much money they were willing to set aside for
tax cuts.
Florida wants to add more grocery stores
Florida may set up a pilot program aimed at bringing grocery
stores to areas that don’t have access to fresh food.
The state House unanimously passed a bill Thursday authorizing Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam to set up a program that offers grants and loans for businesses to open in socalled “food deserts.” These are usually low-income neighborhoods served only by convenience stores or fast food restaurants.
First Lady Michelle Obama launched an initiative in 2011 to
improve access to fresh food as part of a strategy to battle obesity.
The bill includes $500,000 for the program. The measure
heads to the Senate, which is considering a similar bill.
Court tosses sentence for firing gun in air
A man who was essentially given a life sentence for firing a
gun in the air after becoming enraged at four gay men will have
his sentence reduced.
The state Supreme Court ruled Thursday the four 20-year
sentences he received in the case don’t have to run consecutively
because they stem from the same incident.
Williams was sentenced under Florida’s 10-20-life gun law
after being convicted of pointing a gun at the men who were
whistling and ogling him from a neighbor’s Riviera Beach home
and then firing into the air several times. Nobody was injured.
The judge who sentenced Williams said the law gave him no
leeway, and the sentences had to run consecutively. An appeals
court agreed, but the Supreme Court didn’t and ordered Williams
be resentenced.

City looks at fines for marijuana possession
Tampa officials are looking at fines for misdemeanor marijuana possession, rather than arrests and criminal charges.
The city council voted 6-1 in favor of the move Thursday. The
ordinance will have to make it through a second hearing March
17 before it goes to Mayor Bob Buckhorn for his signature.
The new ordinance would allow law enforcement officers to
issue civil citations instead of filing criminal charges against
people carrying 20 grams or less of marijuana. A first offense
would result in a $75 fine. The fine would increase to $150 for a
second offense, $300 for a third and $450 after that.
Florida law makes misdemeanor marijuana possession punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Several counties and cities throughout Florida have also
passed similar measures.

Legal immigrants’ kids may get health care
Thousands of immigrant children living legally in Florida may
soon get access to subsidized healthcare.
The state House voted unanimously Thursday to make children of legal immigrants immediately eligible for Florida
Kidcare. Florida Kidcare includes Medicaid and a subsidized
children’s health insurance program.
There’s currently a five-year waiting period.
The bill (HB 89) includes nearly $29 million to pay for the subsidized health care.
Republican sponsor Rep. Jose Felix Diaz of Miami estimates
about 17,000 children will become eligible for coverage if it
becomes law. The legislation heads to the state Senate, which is
considering a similar measure.
The House vote was significant because House Republicans
have been staunch opponents of expanding Medicaid as part of
President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. Some have
called Medicaid a failed program.
one of the other two contenders has the
best chance of beating Mr. Trump in a
given state,” Romney said.
Another idea rumbling through power
corridors in Washington was the prospect
of a late third-party candidate to represent more mainstream conservatives.
A Romney confidant, Republican
National Committeeman Ron Kaufman,
said such talk may be swirling around
Romney, but he laughed it off. “It’s not
happening,” he said.
Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry has
been approached by “a mixture of people”
about being part of a third-party bid, said
Jeff Miller, who managed Perry’s failed
GOP presidential campaign. But Miller
said Perry found the idea “ludicrous.”
Suggesting Romney may continue to
have 2016 ambitions of his own, Trump
said the 2012 nominee had “chickened
out” earlier when he understood he’d be
going up against the billionaire businessman.
“He doesn’t have what it takes to be
president,” Trump said at a Portland,
Maine, rally. “I made so much more
money than Mitt.”
Romney’s views are irrelevant, he said.
“Look, Mitt is a failed candidate.”

PANAMA CITY BEACH
Authorities said an Indiana man was stretching his back on a
railing when he lost his footing and fell from the 11th floor balcony of a Panama City Beach condominium.
Mark Hefley, 38, of Greenwood, Ind., plunged into a shallow

Wednesday night, but his condition was not available.
Hefley’s wife told Panama City Beach police she and a friend

are poring over complicated delegate
math, outlining hazy scenarios for a contested national convention and even flirting with the idea of a third-party effort.
In the most notable verbal attacks
against Trump to date, Romney and his
2012 running mate, House Speaker Paul
Ryan, urged voters in the strongest terms
to shun the former reality television star
for the good of country and party.
The GOP’s 2008 nominee, Arizona Sen.
McCain, joined in, raising “many concerns about Mr. Trump’s uninformed and
indeed dangerous statements on national
security issues.” That echoes the worries
of dozens of leading conservative defense
and foreign policy officials.
Romney embraced what might seem a
long-shot approach to deny Trump the
delegates necessary to secure the nomination. He did not call on Republicans to
unify behind a single alternative candidate but outlined a plan to divide the
electorate and force a contested national
convention in July.
“Given the current delegate selection

Jonell
and her
new role
JACKSONVILLE
even years of starting have
given way to a season of sitting.
A dominant role in victory
has become a bit part in defeat.
So it has been for the most accomplished women’s basketball player
ever to come out of Putnam County.
But it’s only one season.
The player and her coach said
much the same thing Thursday,
when Jonell Williams’ first season at
the University of Mississippi ended
quietly Wednesday in a 74-59 loss to
Vanderbilt in the first round of the
Southeastern Conference tournament
before 2,889 at the Veterans
Memorial Arena.
The 6-foot-2 center, who averaged
a double double in points and
rebounds throughout four all-state
seasons at Palatka High School –
before that, she was a three-year varsity starter for Peniel Baptist
Academy – played only seven minutes against Vandy.
The outcome was a foregone conclusion before she entered the game
for the first time at the 1:59 mark of
the second quarter. Ole Miss led only
at 2-0, giving up the next 18 points
and trailing 29-12 at the end of the
first quarter, 42-19 at halftime.
Williams took one shot, a jumper
from the key that clanged off the rim.
She finished with two fouls, no
rebounds and no blocked shots.
The Rebels finished 10-20, losing
their last 11 and 16 of their last 17.
They were last in the conference. By
contrast, Palatka won four district
championships in Williams’ four seasons. The Panthers were 19-7 when
she was a senior in 2014-15.
So this has been different. But
player and coach both say it will get
better.
“She worked real hard this summer on changing her body and getting stronger,” said Ole Miss coach
Matt Insell. “She’s made a lot of
strides in the little things, in her footwork. She moves exceptionally well
for her size.”
Williams, who rarely faced high
school opponents anywhere near her
size, spent a fair portion of her limited
time Wednesday working against the
Commodores’ taller and bulkier
Kendall Shaw. It was tough, just as it
was at the end of Williams’ junior season, when she had to deal with twin
towers from Fort Walton Beach
Choctawhatchee in the Panthers’ 38-25
loss in the Region 1-5A title game.
Appearing in 16 games, Williams
averaged 2.4 points and 4.4 rebounds
per game as a true freshman. Insell
sees no reason her time and production won’t go up, holding up teammate Shandricka Sessom as an
example. Sessom averaged 15.6
points per game as a sophomore after
limited time the year before.
“She got in the gym and worked
really hard at it. That’s what I expect
from Jonell,” Insell said. “Great kid.
Great family.”
The most accomplished women’s
basketball player ever to come out of
Putnam County happens to be the
daughter of the most accomplished
football player ever to come out of
Putnam County, two-time Pro Bowl
fullback John L Williams, who spent
10 years in the NFL between the
Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh
Steelers and starred both at PHS and
the University of Florida. If Jonell did
not have the instant impact at Ole
Miss that her father had at Florida,
she’s giving it time.

Balk costs Palatka in district loss at Bradford
Palatka Daily News
Palatka’s heretofore smooth ride
to the top of its new baseball district
hit a bump at Bradford Thursday
night.
A balk, more specifically.
The balk capped a three-run seventh inning as the Tornadoes edged
the Panthers 3-2 in a game that left
both teams 2-1 in District 5-5A.
Palatka (6-2 overall) had just bro-
ken a scoreless tie with two runs in
the sixth, only to see Bradford (5-6)
come back with three in the seventh.
The loss left Santa Fe (4-5, 2-0)
alone at the top in a battle for the
No. 1 seed in the district tournament next month.
“Give Bradford credit for doing
what they did, but it’s a shame when
the pitcher doesn’t balk and they
call it,” said PHS coach Alan Rick.
“Maybe this loss will open up our
kids’ eyes and make sure they keep
working.”
Consecutive walks to Chayce
Ladd and Brent Summers got
Palatka going in the sixth. Ladd was
thrown out trying to steal third, but
Summers scored the game’s first
run when, with two out, Austin
Langston’s grounder was misplayed.
Langston got to second on the play
and scored when Josh Reynolds doubled to right center.
Palatka starter Cody Mills completed six scoreless innings, striking
out five, walking two and allowing
three hits, all singles. He threw 85
pitches to get to that point, however,
and Rick turned to Clayton Faircloth
in the seventh.

They’re rested and ready.
The trip down produced a few butterflies, but once Lance and Logan
Hastings arrived in Kissimmee
checked out the place in which they
will wrestle today – the Silver Spurs
Rodeo Arena – all was well.
“They’ve had a chance to work out
and get used to the venue. They were
a little nervous coming down, but now
they’re comfortable,” said Craig
Borgus, who will guide the
Interlachen twins at the class 1A
state meet.
They are the first Rams to wrestle
at this level since Borgus revived the
IHS program five years ago. Having
spent years as a wrestling coach in
upstate New York, Borgus was ready
with advice for the two seniors.
“We discussed focus, but the other
thing is that when you wrestle for the
first time in this venue, it’s hard to
believe you belong at this level,”
Borgus said. “But they belong.”
Indeed they do.
Lance Hastings takes a 43-4 record
into his first-round match in the 195pound weight class with 40-7
Shelbourne Steward, a sophomore
from Indian Rocks Christian. Logan
Hastings, 31-7, goes against Kevin
Soltis, a 24-4 senior from Coral
Springs Charter in the 182-pound
class.
Lance finished third, Logan fourth
in Region 2-1A competition last weekend in Titusville. The brackets call for
third-place finishers from one region
to face the runnerup from another,
and for fourth-place finishers to open
against another region’s champion.
Borgus is cautiously optimistic.
“We’re going in a little blind – we
only know Region 1 and Region 2 –
but we should do well the first couple
of rounds,” he said. “They’re comfortable, relaxed and ready to go.”
As many as a dozen matches covering schools in all three classes will be
going on at any one time, making it
important not to be distracted by
what’s happening on another mat.
“In a large venue like that, do not
stop when you hear a whistle. Don’t
stop until you’re touched (by an official),” Borgus said.
The only expectation he is placing
on the Hastings twins is for them to
make their best effort.
“I’m not looking for wins. I’m looking for good, solid performance. If you
have a good, solid performance, wins
will come,” Borgus said.

IHS tennis team again rebounding from slow start
Crescent City softball

Palatka Daily News
The Interlachen High School boys
tennis team of coach Mike Stevens is
having to make it back from a slow
start for the second straight year.
After a 1-3 start, the Rams have now
run off wins in five of their last six
matches.
On Thursday, the Rams did it
again, defeating host The Villages,
5-2, to improve to 6-4 overall and 6-1
against District 5-2A competition.
“Last year, we lost to The Villages
in a match, 8-0,” said Stevens, whose
team finished strong last year by
winning six of its last seven to go
7-6. “What a difference a year makes
for us.”
Craig Berry has started to get it
going at first singles, capturing an
8-2 win. And after a slow start as
well, Nico Calero improved to 5-2
with an 8-5 win at second singles.
Jeff Weber (third singles) and Nick
Thompson (fifth) were also singles
winners. The first doubles team of
Berry and Thompson also prevailed.
n The Palatka boys won its third
straight match to improve to 4-4,
blanking St. Augustine Florida Deaf

First singles player Felix

Perhaps drawing on the example of her high
school teammates, the transition from star to sub
hasn’t been as hard as some might think.
“When everyone’s doing everything else, I have
to pay attention and know what to do when my
number is called,” Williams said after
Wednesday’s game. “(The biggest adjustment is)
probably the speed of the game at this level –
especially the SEC, which is the fastest league.
You have to adjust to that intensity.”
Slimmer than she was in high school, Williams
said she will continue to work on conditioning so
she can react more quickly.

PHS, Williams said studies are going well and college life is good. At least one parent makes every
other game. Her uncle, none other than Palatka
Mayor Terrill Hill, has been on hand for some as
well.
The Rebels’ rough season has not worn on
Williams.
“It’s not frustrating,” she said. “It’s just (a matter of) being able to keep a straight mind and supporting my teammates and being ready when my
number is called.”
“Obviously, we didn’t have the season we wanted to have, but we’ll go back to work next week,”
Insell said.
However foreign this has been to anything
Williams has experienced in basketball since she
was a sixth-grader at Peniel, it is only one season.

JACKSONVILLE — The Jacksonville Jaguars
have cut guard Zane Beadles and defensive end
Chris Clemons, saving the team $9.5 million
against the 2016 salary cap.
The team made the moves Thursday, six days
before the start of the new league year.
Beadles started every game over the last two
seasons, but wasn’t nearly as effective the Jaguars
had hoped when they gave him a five-year, $30
million contract in 2014. The deal included $12.5
million guaranteed. The 29-year-old Beadles had
three years remaining on his contract and was due
a $500,000 roster bonus on March 13. He would
have counted $5.5 million against the cap in 2016
and $6 million in 2016 and 2017.
The 34-year-old Clemons, who had three sacks
last season, signed a four-year, $17.5 million contract in 2014. He was due a $500,000 roster bonus
on March 13 and would have counted $4 million
against the cap in 2016 and 2017.
Brady suspension back on table
NEW YORK — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady could again be facing a four-game
suspension for the scandal known as Deflategate
after federal appeals court judges spent time
Thursday shredding some of his union’s favorite
arguments for dismissal.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
Manhattan gave a players’ union lawyer a tough
time, with Circuit Judge Denny Chin even saying
evidence of ball tampering was “compelling, if not
overwhelming,” and there was evidence to support
a finding that Brady “knew about it, consented to
it, encouraged it.”
The appeals court did not immediately rule, but
it seemed to lean heavily at times against the
union’s arguments, raising the prospect that the
suspension Brady was supposed to start last
September before a judge nullified it may begin
next season instead.
The appeals panel seemed receptive to the
NFL’s argument that it was fair for Commissioner
Roger Goodell to severely penalize one of the
game’s greatest quarterbacks after concluding he
tarnished the game by impeding the league’s
investigation into deflated footballs, including
destroying a cellphone containing nearly 10,000
messages.

plans to major in physical therapy. “We agreed that I
might like it being out of state. You never know what
is planned once you’re out there. But I saw (the
school) on the Internet and then I went for a visit. It’s
comfortable. It’s a comfortable environment to be
around.”
Earning player of the year honors at the annual
all-county football banquet in 2014, Ellis helped lead
the Raiders to the District 8-1A championship by
rushing for 1,316 yards and a program-record 26
touchdowns. Last year, however, saw Ellis running
behind a completely revamped offensive line with
mostly young kids blocking in front of him.
Running in various offensive sets, Ellis struggled
from the outset, collecting minus-5 yards in a seasonopening win at Hilliard. After that, Ellis caught fire
and ended the season with 1,002 rushing yards.
Still, according to Smith and Ellis, his ACT scores
were not high enough for the 5-foot-8, 190-pound
Ellis to sign with any big-name schools who had
interest. By going the junior college route, both agree
that as long as Ellis does the work and makes an
impression on the field, there’ll be a four-year school
waiting with an offer by the end of 2017.
“That school not only services the Big Ten and Big
12 conferences from where they’re located, but they
also service the entire Pac-12,” Smith said. “He’ll be
near all that. He’ll be able to showcase what he can
do and that can turn into something for him.”
“I’m taking full advantage,” Ellis said. “You only
get one shot at when you do, you do your best. That’s
what I’m hoping to do.”

Bidding for his third save, Faircloth (0-1)

brought home the winner.

For Friday, March 4, 2016
You have what it takes to excel,
now all you have to do is believe
that you can do so. Don’t hesitate
to call in favors or collaborate
with people trying to reach the
same goal as you. Expand your
interests in order to stand out.
PISCES
(Feb. 20-March 20)
People will value your time and
offer you assistance if you need
it, so don’t feel that you have to
take on the world all by yourself.
Accept help in order to achieve
the most.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
Avoid an emotional scene with
a co-worker, client or superior.
Offer positive input in order to
impress someone who can help
you get ahead. Avoid gossip and
the sharing of personal information.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
Carefully examine what’s presented to you. Don’t let your personal relationship with someone
alter a necessary decision regarding a financial move. Practicality
is your only choice.
HOROSCOPE
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
Size up every challenge you
face and opt to put your intelligence and strength to the test.
Don’t let anyone muscle into your
affairs. Stay in control.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
An interesting offer will change
your professional direction. A
chance to do more from home or
to use your space liberally will be
granted.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
Too many options will lead to
a standstill. Be selective and pick
what’s best for you. Don’t let
anyone intervene or persuade you
to take a risk.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Make reforms by sharing your
ideas with people who are in a
position to bring about change.
If you step up, you will be given
the responsibility to see matters to
completion.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Head to where the action is. If
you participate in something, you
will encounter people who will
change your life. Trying something new or signing up for a selfhelp program will pay off.
SCORPIO
Dear Harriette: My estranged
wife has insisted that we need
couple’s therapy. I find this so
ridiculous, since we are on the
path to getting divorced. There’s
nothing to fix! Our marriage is
essentially over. My wife thinks
we need this so we can raise our
kids better. I think she’s just trying to get me into a room with a
therapist so they can both tell me
how I failed the marriage. I would
never normally agree to couple’s
therapy, but I worry that if I don’t
go, she’ll have a better chance of
having custody of our children.
Do I go into this therapy trap?
— Barely My Wife, Pittsburgh
Dear Barely My Wife: Because
you two have children, therapy is
actually a great idea. You must
figure out how to parent your
children as a team, even though
you don’t live together. Let your
wife know that you agree — with
the understanding that you will
determine how to navigate the
children between households as
well as the basics on what your
values are. Talk with the therapist

burn any bridges, but I need to
draw up new boundaries without
losing our friendship. How can I
start this transition to preserve my
sanity and budding relationship?
— Love Bites, Dallas
Dear Love Bites: My mother
used to remind my sisters and me
all the time about the importance
of keeping good company. Your
longtime friends may not be such
good company if there is constant fighting when you are with
them. It may be time to choose
your mental health and your relationship over their roller coaster
romance.
Out of respect for them, tell
them where you are. Explain that
while you have attempted to stay
neutral and present through their
rocky relationship, it is wearing
on you and your own relationship. So you are pulling back. You
don’t have to cut them off entirely
— unless that is your choice.
You definitely do not have to
include them on dates with your
girlfriend.
BRIDGE
(Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
Find out all you can in order to
make any necessary changes easier. Don’t feel obliged to take part
in something you cannot afford or
don’t want to do.

Don’t give in to uncertainty.
Take the initiative and find out
what you need to know. An unexpected opportunity will help you
use the information you discover
to make a strategic move.
about how to come to agreements
when you experience friction.
If you feel that your wife and
the therapist are ganging up on
you, stop them and ask if you can
agree to work on how to handle
the children moving forward rather than rehashing what led to the
breakup. It is OK for you to set
clear goals in therapy.
Dear Harriette: Two of my
friends are high school sweethearts ... sort of. They have been
an on-again, off-again couple for
about eight years. They began dating in high school, but in no way
has their timeline been stable. I
have been a listening ear to both
of them as we all went through
growing pains, and I managed to
stay impartial, even during some
of their most explosive fights.
I met a girl I really like, and we
have been dating for a little under
a year now. I fear that the high
school “sweethearts” are creating
a toxic element in our relationship because of how vicious they
get when they fight — and they
bring us into it. I don’t want to
Somerset Maugham claimed
“You learn more quickly under the
guidance of experienced teachers.
You waste a lot of time going
down blind alleys if you have no
one to lead you.”
That must be true, but at the
bridge table, when there is no one
to guide you, do not be blind to
the information available from the
calls made and cards played.
In this deal, South is in three
no-trump. West leads the heart
six: eight, five (starting a high-low
to show an even number), nine.
How should declarer continue?
After South opens one notrump, North should respond two
hearts, a transfer bid indicating at
least zero points and five spades.
Then, North might rebid three
no-trump, but that could work
out very badly if South has weak
hearts. So, North rebids three
diamonds, which is natural and
game-forcing.
South starts with seven top
tricks: one spade, one heart (trick
one), four diamonds and one club.
He can get the extra winners from
either black suit — but on which
should he play?
Let’s look at the first trick. East
was playing third hand high, but
didn’t beat dummy’s eight. Why
not? Because he couldn’t. West
has the heart ace-queen hovering
over South’s king-jack. If East
gets on lead, a heart return will kill
the contract. So, the spade finesse
should not be taken. Instead,
declarer should lead a low diamond to dummy’s nine and play a
club to his 10 (allowing for East’s
having the jack and king). When
the finesse wins, South returns
to dummy with a diamond, takes
a second club finesse, and here
wins 11 tricks.

Public Service Announcement
Beck Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram have partnered with the all new Chrysler
Capital Bank to eliminate the finance companies high interest rates for
customers with ZERO MONEY DOWN, LIMITED CREDIT, NO CREDIT,
BAD CREDIT, FIRST TIME BUYERS and BANKRUPTCY
PALATKA, FL - Beck Chrysler, Dodge Jeep and
Ram have partnered in an initiative to expand their
customer base. The bulk of this initiative involves
financing components that are specifically targeted
to assist those who have had challenges in life. As
a result of market conditions such as the mortgage
crisis and economic downturn, this segment has
ballooned in recent years. It is the understanding that
bad things happen to good people and recognizing
the void in the marketplace of programs that provide
adequate support that has led to this partnership.
Historically, finance companies have offered rates
as high as 29% to offset what they consider risk
factors. In the event they gauged risk to be in excess
of what the state of Florida would allow rates to yield
they have charged loan discounts that often added
significant cost to dealers which resulted in higher
prices. That meant huge rates and larger prices-- not
fair! Especially for those of us who could use some
help during challenging times. Chrysler Capital is
finally trying to do something about it.
Here’s how it is designed. Subvention (provision
for financial support) by the manufacturer toward the
purchase of a new vehicle to the finance company
offsets risk factors. With many manufacturers there
are optional offers that allow for either a rebate or
a subvented APR. Historically customers without
perfect credit history are not eligible for subvented
rates. With this new program even those who have
had significant challenges can qualify for subvented
rates. Chrysler pays depending upon model to offset
risk and allow APR’s as low as 0%. What this means
is many customers can now own more car for less
