The new, 7,000-square-foot building at
the Putnam County Fairgrounds will give
nearby people and organizations a new
venue to host a variety of events, fair officials said.
Construction of the new banquet hall and
activity room will is scheduled to be complete in June or July, but there have
already been inquiries about renting the
building, Fair Authority member Weezy
Smith said.
“In the next month, we’re hoping to start
renting this out,” Smith said. “I think the
sky is the limit. And I think we need to
think out of the box about what we can
bring in. We have Christmas parties booked
already.”
Once finished, the banquet hall and
activity room will feature a large open
space to host functions, full kitchen and
conference room, among other functions.
The building, which has a fire marshalmandated occupancy of 356, still needs to
have some of its appliances installed and
furniture set up. Smith said the building is

A transitional year is leading to big
changes for Palatka’s Blue Crab
Festival.
While he is calling this year a success,
Blue Crab Festival president Buddy
Thompson said organizers had to cut
back because of riverfront construction
and loss of support.
“We worked around it,” he said. “We
lost half of the space on the riverfront
and had to cut back on the rides because
we didn’t have the room.”
Thompson said a lot of festival volunteers and organizers retired from their
posts over the last year, as well, including former president C.J. Morris.
Organizers kept to the $180,000 budget they had during last year’s festival
and had a full bar for the first time.
“We’ve always had our liquor license,

A group of local leaders discussed
ways to bolster Putnam County’s image
in the eyes of people who live both outside and in the county.
Health, law enforcement, school, and
county and municipal government leaders, among others, met Wednesdays for
the bimonthly LOGIC meeting to discuss issues affecting different aspects of
county life.
School Superintendent Phyllis
Criswell gave a status update for the
group’s communication subcommittee,
of which she is a member.
The county’s potential is so high,
Criswell said, but people’s perception of
the county’s image stifles that potential.

A Tampa-area man bought two
prison murals from a formerly incarcerated artist, and now he must figure out how to remove them from the
empty building.
Shane Karlson bought the two
murals for $75 each by artist Al
Black.
Black is one of 26 Florida
Highwaymen who made names for
themselves by speed-painting landscapes in the 1960s and 1970s and
selling their artwork along the roads
of the eastern part of the state.
The murals purchased by Karlson
were on the concrete cafeteria walls
of the Hillsborough Correction
Institution, which closed two years

Black, who served time for fraud,

SCHOOLS RECOGNIZED FOR BLOOD DONATIONS
DAYTONA BEACH
Rip currents kept lifeguards hopping
A mix of nice weather, big crowds and dangerous rip currents
kept Volusia County lifeguards scrambling as they rescued
some 500 beachgoers over the long holiday weekend.
Two men died in the water, one on Sunday and the other
Monday.
Beach Safety Patrol spokeswoman Tammy Marris says it
was “all hands on deck” during Memorial Day weekend. Marris
says she and other administrative personnel jumped into the
water to help swimmers.
Marris says she’s never seen rip currents as bad as they were
over the weekend. The situation played out up and down the
Florida coastline.
Rip currents are narrow, powerful currents of water that run
perpendicular to the beach. They can move at more than 5 mph
and often catch swimmers off guard.

FORT MYERS
Men accused of shooting 5-year-old released
Two men accused of fatally shooting a 5-year-old Fort Myers
boy will be released after a key witness said she doesn’t remember what happened.
Multiple news sources say on Tuesday Lee County Judge
Joseph Fuller granted motions to allow Terrance Irons and
Thomas Edison to be released from jail while the case is pending. Officials say the two have been in jail since October 2014
after the death of Andrew Faust Jr. outside the boy’s home.
Fort Myers police say 18-year-old Cashae Smith gave an
interview and said she saw what happened and knew who was
responsible. Officials say after her initial interview, Smith
failed to show up for scheduled hearings. On May 18, she said
she couldn’t remember and didn’t recall making statements in
her interview with police.
SANFORD
Judge facing long list of complaints resigns
A Seminole-Brevard circuit judge who is set to go on trial
before a judicial ethics panel in August has resigned.
Linda Schoonover stepped down from her position Tuesday.
Officials say Schoonover was facing the prospect of being
thrown out of office amid a wide-ranging series of misconduct
allegations.
One Winter Springs woman says Schoonover retaliated
against her in a divorce case because she refused the judge’s
friend request on Facebook. The state Judicial Qualifications
Commission accused Schoonover of lacking professional competence of behavior that was inexplicable, disruptive and repeatedly expressed paranoia.
Schoonover was elected circuit judge in 2010 in the 18th
Judicial Circuit — Seminole and Brevard counties.
MIAMI
Body found off coast is missing woman
Police have confirmed the remains of a woman found in
Biscayne Bay off Miami are that of a missing 26-year-old woman.
Multiple news outlets report the body of Lauren Jenee Lamar
was recovered Tuesday.
Authorities say Lamar had been out on a 30-foot boat Sunday
with two other people who say they didn’t notice she was missing until about 11 p.m. when they returned to shore and docked
at Matheson Hammock Marina.

Crescent City was a repeat winner

various places around
Putnam.
“We want to get kids and
adults thinking,” Marinello
said. “We also want these kids
to be seen and reward them as
much as we can for their
work.”
First-, second- and thirdplace winners will be chosen
in each age group: elementary, middle school and high
school. First-place winners
will receive $100 savings
bonds at Harbor Bank, while
second- and third-place winners will receive cash prizes.
Marinello said she hopes
the poster contest will become
an annual event.
“I hope it will be a reminder
to children and adults about
keeping their community
clean. And I hope to make it
something the kids can look
forward to each year,” she
said.
The Larimer Arts Center is
at 216 Reid St. Posters will be

In 1900, Lundy post office was
established but discontinued on
July 16, 1906, with mail sent to
Palatka.
In 1909, telephone communication was established with the communities in the Fruitland
Peninsula when the Palatka
Telephone Co. installed a cable
across the St. Johns River.
In 1915, the Palatka Water
Works was ordered to purify
water derived from springs in a
“deep ravine” near its plant. The
plant’s daily consumption was
about 300,000 gallons.

OUR VIEWS
“Our Views” is the editorial position of the Palatka Daily News. All other features
on the Opinions page are the views of the writers or cartoonists and do not
necessarily reflect the views of the Palatka Daily News.
Experience
plentiful for
selection
W
hen presented with the opportunity to select Palatka’s city
manager, the majority of the
city commission chose a skilled
hand with municipal government knowledge coupled with experience at a larger
county.
More importantly, the commission picked
a man with proven results and a track
record of finding solutions outside of the
city’s regular budget.
Terry K. Suggs, the city manager of
Keystone Heights, was chosen among a field
of five finalists in a 3-2 vote Tuesday night
to serve as Palatka’s city manager. Those
opposed were city commissioner James
Norwood Jr. and Mayor Terrill Hill.
While any incoming city manager would
have preferred unanimous support, the
commission appeared torn between Suggs
and longtime city attorney Donald Holmes.
In the end, Suggs’ experience as a city
manager and 14 years of experience with
Alachua County won him the job.
Here are a few positives about Suggs:
n While serving as the operations supervisor of Alachua County Public Works, Suggs
said he “turned around” a $216,000 budget
deficit to a reserve fund balance of more
than $1 million in four years.
n Additionally, Suggs said he reduced taxpayer fee rates 36 percent through implementing new programs.
n As the zoning/solid waste inspector for
the public works department, he received
the Police Service Award for work in blighted neighborhoods. Blight is a problem in
Palatka, and Suggs’ experience could be vital
in changing the look of the community.
n As Keystone Heights’ city manager,
Suggs secured $683,000 in housing rehab
and recreation grants. In a city such as
Palatka, it is necessary to take advantage of
federal and state grants that can help
improve the community without burdening
taxpayers. Suggs’ experience in grants could
be a financial boon for Palatka.
n Suggs also crafted Keystone Heights’
first formal comprehensive long-term strategic plan, which he said was unanimously
approved by council. Palatka needs a city
manager with vision toward the future.
Suggs appears to offer that.
Suggs inherits a city with a bright future,
but also its own set of challenges. We wish
him well in the coming weeks, months and
years, and we hope city commissioners will
fully support him moving forward.

Florida leads nation in number of new self-employed jobs, but underemployment may be reason
By Mike Schneider
Associated Press
ORLANDO — Florida created more jobs with people
working for themselves than
any state in the nation,
according to figures released
Wednesday by the U.S.
Census Bureau, but the reason may have more to do with
underemployment than anything else.
The state added more than
63,000 new self-employed jobs
from 2012 to 2013, representing close to a quarter of the
270,000 new self-employed
jobs created nationwide during that period, according to
the Census.
But given Florida’s belowaverage ranking in earnings
and weekly hours worked,
the increase in selfemployed jobs may be the
result of people just hustling
to earn some extra money on
the side to compensate for
being unable to work enough
hours at their regular jobs,
said Ray Schaub, an economist at the University of
Florida’s Bureau of
Economic and Business
Research.
“Non-employer non-businesses tend to be part-time on
top of what they’re doing fulltime,” Schaub said. “If they’re
underemployed, it’s an incentive to go out and do some-
thing extra.”
Florida had more than 1.8
million self-employed workers. Professional services jobs
led the way in pure numbers
in both Florida and the nation,
but real estate and rental jobs
were tops in total receipts

That may be the result of

we made to have the ceiling go
up like that rather than have
a flat ceiling,” Smith said, referencing the building’s vaulted ceilings. “Our parking is
what is our definite advantage. You can drive in at any
gate and stay (walking) on the
asphalt.”

the pantyhose near the Bingo
Palace matched Cue, a Florida
Department of Law
Enforcement expert testified.
Planting reasonable doubt,
Richardson asked the expert if
she could pinpoint how and
when the DNA was put on the
pantyhose. She could not.
Witnesses who were physically abused and threatened
during the robbery could not
identify Cue as an assailant.
The two women and four
men on the jury took the testimony into account. They
handed in a not-guilty verdict.
“Cue will be transported to
St. Johns County for violation
of probation,” Janesk said.
“I’m disappointed with the
verdict, but he is on probation
and will have to answer in
front of a judge in St. Johns
County.”
According to a St. Johns
County Sheriff’s Office report,
Cue was booked into jail in
2008. The Florida Department
of Corrections offender information disclosed Cue was sentenced to prison May 5, 2009,
for robbery without a gun and
eluding law enforcement.
His felony probation started
in September 2011 and was
set to last until September
2016. No information on his
alleged probation violation
was immediately available.

your determination and hard work
can accomplish, you can set your
sights higher. Reach out and train
or mentor someone you want to
work with.

Get fit and begin a routine that
promises good results. A challenge will make you look good as
well as boost your confidence.

Take some “me” time to pamper and play. Family or workplace
woes should be put on the back
burner. Put effort and money into
something you enjoy doing.
LEO

Diplomacy will be necessary

able you are by going the extra
mile. Helping your colleagues or
making suggestions will show
your dedication and put you on
the fast track for a raise or promotion.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Spruce up your surroundings. Getting involved in homeimprovement or other projects
will lower your stress and add
to your comfort. Host a party to
show off your accomplishments.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
Enroll in a seminar that will

SAGITTARIUS

Secure your relationship with

Dear Harriette: In the world
of college students, the social
life can get pretty tough. While
on this journey, I have come
across some kids who are more
well-off than others. One of my
friends continuously shows off
what she has and spends large
amounts of money in front of
another friend who is not as
fortunate. It has been bothering
this other friend of mine. I do
not know whether I should confront my flashy friend or continue not saying anything when
these moments occur. How do I
approach this situation without
losing my friend? — Hush Her
Up, Denver
Dear Hush Her Up: Do not
be a bystander in this situation. By all means, speak up.
Pull your better-off friend aside
and tell her that you are disturbed by the way she throws
money around in front of other
people, particularly your friend
who lives much more modestly.
Inform her that her behavior
makes everyone uncomfortable
PISCES

TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
An unusual proposition will
point the way to a lucrative professional move. The time is right
to try something new. You have
what it takes to get ahead. Don’t
hesitate; there is too much to
lose.
I am leaning toward not having
her stay with me mostly because
I do not have time to show her
around due to my job. How do I
deal with this situation without
causing any rifts in my family?
My brother stayed with her for
a year awhile back when he visited Japan. Oh, it’s complicated.
— Taking Family In, Boston
Dear Taking Family In: You
already know my answer: You
should welcome your cousin
with open arms. Make it clear
before she comes what your
schedule is like so that you manage her expectations. Commit to
yourself that you will work hard
to get to know her.
Make a schedule that allows
for you to show her some things
as you also give her information
about tourist attractions she can
visit on her own. Arrange for a
family member or someone else
who speaks fluent Japanese to
be on call if you need help with
translation. Choose to enjoy this
time with your cousin!
BRIDGE
(Feb. 20-March 20)
Don’t pass up a good deal
because of a lack of funds. Your
services and advice are worth
sharing, and will help you take
advantage of a timely offer.
(March 21-April 19)
Quibbling with those who don’t
see your vision will be a waste of
time. Go with the flow, but keep
your goals and ideas a secret.
Your success will give you the
final word.
and probably makes that one
friend feel inadequate. Tell her
you think that what she is doing
is rude and probably unconscious, but she should stop. You
can turn the tables and ask her
how she would feel if someone
was constantly showing off and
bragging in front of her.
Finally, if your friend continues to misbehave in this manner,
walk away and take the others
with you as soon as she starts.
She may get the message if she
instantly loses her audience!
Dear Harriette: I have a distant cousin whom I do not know
very well. Her family has asked
for me to allow her to stay with
me for two weeks over the summer.
While I am all for helping out
family, I am hesitant to agree
to this, considering that I do
not really know this girl very
well. She also does not speak
much English. She is visiting
the United States from Japan. It
would be like allowing a stranger
to live with me for half a month.
Henri Poincare, a French poly-
math who died in 1912, said, “It
is far better to foresee even with-
out certainty than not to foresee
at all.”
That is also true at the bridge
table. Better, though, is when
declarer can foresee exactly how
to make his contract. In this deal,
the right line is tough to spot.
How should South plan the
play in four spades after West
leads a trump?
In a perfect world, North-South
would end in three no-trump,
which has nine top tricks via five
spades, one heart, one diamond
and two clubs. But after North
transfers into spades, then offers
a choice of games with three notrump, South will be nervous of
the spade-suit blockage. If North
does not have a side entry, three
no-trump will fail.
Note West’s opening salvo. It
is dangerous to lead around to a
big, balanced hand. A trump rates
to be the safest start that he has.
Declarer has four possible losers: one heart, two diamonds and
one club. Maybe clubs will break
3-3, but that is unlikely. Or perhaps the diamond finesse will
work; in theory, this is a 50-50
shot, but not in newspaper columns or classes!
South needs to remember that
a ruff in the shorter trump hand
eliminates a loser and gains an
extra trump trick. He should
take the first trick, cash his diamond ace, and continue with the
diamond queen. West wins and
plays another trump, but South
takes that, crosses to dummy
with a club, and ruffs the last
diamond in his hand. Then he
cruises home. The queen of diamonds is a red-card herring.

Subway
disarray
caused by
cable theft
By Karen Matthews
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Subway service was disrupted for hundreds
of thousands of commuters
Wednesday because of a massive
theft of copper cable from train
tracks, transit officials said.
The theft of 500 feet of cable
forced the Metropolitan
Transportation Authority to
suspend train service entirely
between the Rockaway
Boulevard and Broad Channel
stations in Queens and replace
it with shuttle buses during the
morning rush. The cable was
stolen from about 12 locations
along the tracks, the MTA said.
The crime caused delays and
overcrowding along the entire
length of the heavily used A and
C lines, which carry 775,000 riders a day, the MTA said.
The theft was discovered late
Tuesday when a train lost
power north of the Howard
Beach station in Queens. Crews
brought in a train behind it,
and an estimated 150 passengers had to walk through the
trains to get back to the station.
“We are working closely
with the NYPD Transit
Bureau to help them investigate this crime and identify
the culprits responsible,” New
York City Transit President
Carmen Bianco said.
A state lawmaker who represents the area where the thefts
occurred wrote to MTA
Chairman Thomas Prendergast
demanding an investigation.
“I am alarmed by reported
security breaches along the A
train and the failure to put in
place effective alternative
travel plans for our families,”
Assemblyman Philip
Goldfeder said.

Is this
WCWS
or SEC?
OKLAHOMA CITY
he Women’s College World
Series will look a lot like the
Southeastern Conference
tournament.
Five of the eight teams — Florida,
Alabama, Auburn, LSU and
Tennessee — are from the SEC. All
four of the second group of coaches
that spoke to the media on
Wednesday were from the league. As
one reporter said, “Welcome to SEC
Media Day.”
“It’s so exciting to be sitting up on
this panel right now with all SEC
coaches,” LSU coach Beth Torina
said. “We’re just honored to be part of
the league.”
Defending champion Florida is the
No. 1 seed, but the Gators open
Thursday against No. 8 seed
Tennessee, which beat them during
the SEC tournament. Alabama coach
Patrick Murphy said the competition
in SEC softball has become similar to
what exists in other SEC sports.
“You can see how many, either
coaching changes, facility changes,
upgrades — it’s just like any sport in
the SEC now,” he said. “You know if
somebody wins in football, somebody
else is going to try to win the next
year. And I think it’s evolved to the
sport of softball. I think it’s a very
good thing.”
In other opening-day matchups
today, No. 2 Oregon faces No. 7
UCLA, No. 3 Michigan battles No. 6
Alabama and No. 4 Auburn takes on
No. 5 LSU. Here are some things to
watch as the double-elimination tournament begins at ASA Hall of Fame
Stadium:
n FAN SUPPORT: Oklahoma
had reached the tournament four
consecutive years before being eliminated by Alabama in this year’s
super regionals. Murphy said he
hopes the local fans still cheer for his
team.
“I apologize to the Sooner fans
because it was just a hell of a super
regional with OU, and we’re just glad
to get out of that,” he said.
Murphy expects the fans to show
up and be active, as usual.
“They’re great,” he said. “It’s very
knowledgeable fans here. That’s
what’s so cool about it. Everybody
knows a good play, a good player,
when a big time is in the game. And
the crowd is just awesome here.”
n FAMILIAR FOES: Pac-12
rivals UCLA and Oregon will meet
today for the fourth time this season.
Oregon won two of three in their
series this season in Los Angeles.
“Both of us were striving for that
Pac-12 Championship,” UCLA coach
Kelly Inouye-Perez said. “We had a
decisive win, they had a decisive win,
and that middle game could have
gone either way.”
Oregon coach Mike White said he
expects Thursday’s game to resemble
the middle game of their regular-season series, a 6-4 win for his Ducks.
“It’s going to be a knock-down,
drag-out game,” White said.
n NEW BLOOD: Auburn is in the
Women’s College World Series for the
first time.
“This is our first time, so it’s kind
of special,” coach Clint Myers said.
“Our kids are really excited about
having the opportunity.”
Myers said getting his players
focused on actually playing will be a
challenge.
“We’re trying to prepare them the
best we can that it’s a softball game,”
he said. “It’s a different venue. It’s
going to be in front of thousands and
thousands of fans. And it’s one of
those things that — you just have to
go out and play the game, because if
you get caught up in the peripheral
stuff, it takes you out of the things
like being prepared.”
n BALANCED FIELD: All eight
seeded teams made the field for the
first time since 2006.
“I truly think that it is the best
eight teams at this moment right
now,” Tennessee co-coach Ralph
Weekly said.
Because the field is so strong, mistakes will be magnified.
“I think once you get to this point,
every game is tough,” Torina said. “It
takes not just a talented team, it
takes a team that’s got a lot of different weapons, a lot of things going for
them, but it takes some luck and
breaks, too. Every game will be a battle.”

COACH OF THE WINTER
Four who made a difference to Carter
Raider basketball coach
believes he’s blessed
By Mark Blumenthal
Palatka Daily News
When looking back on the season
his Crescent City Junior-Senior
High School boys basketball team
had – going 22-6 and earning its
first trip to the Final Four – coach
Al Carter feels blessed.
“I’m just thankful to just be put in
this position,” he said. “I’m thankful
for God and all the good basketball
players and kids I had the privilege
to coach all these years. If my parents could see me now, they would
not believe what I’m doing.”
Carter is the first in the 11-year
history of Daily News coach of the
season honors to win four times, all
with the Raiders’ boys basketball
team (in 2004, 2009, 2014 and this
year). But he acknowledged that he
wasn’t the best example of someone
who made it out of high school and
promptly advanced to get a college
degree.
“I didn’t start out really well,” he

said. “Being a knucklehead, I had a
scholarship to play football at Austin
Peay and didn’t stay more than one
year. I just didn’t do all the things I
was supposed to and I didn’t finish college.”
Four people came into his life to
straighten him up, helping him
become the man whose Raiders have
won four district championships, made
the state playoffs six times and compiled a 233-176 record in his 17 years
in charge.
n There was Hastings High School
classmate Joe Warren, who spotted
Carter overseeing an inmate work
crew on U.S. 17 in East Palatka.
Carter had worked 13 1/2 years in
Putnam County for the Department of
Corrections.
“Caldester Davis, who was the
major at the institution of department
of corrections, kept encouraging me to
go back to college and get my degree,”
Carter said. “He told me I could move
up the ranks with the degree. But Joe
saw me out there with the work crew
one day, came to my house and said to
me, ‘When you get your degree at
(University of North Florida), I want
you to come down to Crescent City
(where he was principal at the time).
So I got my degree in December 1997
and it so happened that the basketball
coach, Rob Lynn, was leaving. I came
to the school and my first day of work
was Oct. 6, 1998, working in the inschool suspension program.”
n Clarence “Pooh Bear” Williams
has been Carter’s right-hand man as
assistant coach. His role, Carter said,
is invaluable.

A play unfolds during practice Wednesday afternoon at Crescent City.
Let’s Blow the Whistle
Raiders coach Smith eager to see how team responds Friday in Deltona
By Mark Blumenthal
F
Palatka Daily News
or a game that doesn’t count in any
standings and mostly fulfills a desire
to hit another team in front of people
before the real season heats up, Al
Smith is chomping at the bit.
“I’m wishing it was Friday now,” the
Crescent City Junior-Senior High football
coach said. “We’ll probably suit up 35 kids for
the game and we’re ready to go.”
Playing its final game in any sport under
the name Crescent City Junior-Senior High
because seventh- and eighth-graders will no
longer be part of the school, the Raiders travel
to Deltona High Friday for a 7 p.m. spring
game against the Wolves.
Smith said he is elated with what he has
seen during the month of practice sessions.
“We’ve made some progress,” he said.
“We’ve got some ways to go. We have to be
able to do some things on Friday. The main
thing I’m looking at is just competing. I want
my young kids to be able to compete. I want us
to execute well and be sound in the kicking
game as well as both offensively and defensively.”
One of the areas Smith wants his Raiders to
be strong in is at the quarterback position
after Ryne Beasley, who graduates shortly,
threw for over 1,000 yards in 2014. Smith will
start rising senior Jarrell Wright behind new
center Bryce Pholoum.
“He’s a savvy kid and doesn’t crack under
pressure,” Smith said “He’s just a level-headed
kid that’s brainy and who has picked up on the
offense fairly well. It’s why I’m (starting) him.”
It also doesn’t hurt that Wright will have a
couple of returnees to throw to in receivers
Eugene Harris and Dantaveous Kelly, a pair
of 6-footers. He will also have some very experienced running backs to hand off to as well,
led by last year’s Putnam County Player of the
Year, Dadrian Ellis, who will be a senior. If
Ellis doesn’t get the ball, there’s Jamie Jones,
Malachi Goodwin and Steven Simmons, all
experienced backs.
Smith is strong on the left side with B.J.
Glover at left tackle and Jerome Strong at left
guard after the rising freshman played center
last season.
Defensively, Smith said he is focusing on
how many people zone in on the ball, something that’s been a concern.

Soccer officials indicted in US corruption probe
2018, 2022 World Cup
votes also scrutinized
By Graham Dunbar
Associated Press
ZURICH — The U.S. government
launched an attack on what it called
deep-seated and brazen corruption in
soccer’s global governing body
Wednesday, pulling FIFA executives
out of a luxury Swiss hotel to face racketeering charges and raiding regional
offices in Miami.
Swiss officials also invaded FIFA
headquarters, seizing records and
computers to investigate whether the
decisions to award World Cups to
Russia and Qatar were rigged.
Scandals and rumors of corruption
have dogged FIFA throughout the
17-year reign of its president, Sepp
Blatter, but he was not named in
either investigation. He is scheduled to
stand Friday for re-election to a fifth,
four-year term, and the organization
said the vote will go ahead as planned,
despite the turmoil.
FIFA also ruled out a revote of the
World Cup bids won by Russia in 2018
and Qatar in 2022.
“We welcome the actions and the
investigations by the U.S. and Swiss
authorities and believe that it will help
to reinforce measures that FIFA has
already taken to root out any wrongdoing in football,” Blatter said in a statement. The organization said it was
cooperating fully with the investigation, and one American prosecutor said
the charges were only the beginning.
Some of the biggest names in soccer
said they had complained for years
about corruption in FIFA, which oversees the world’s most popular sport
and generates billions in revenue each
year.
“I was treated like a crazy person,”
former soccer great Diego Maradona
told radio station Radio La Red in
Buenos Aires. “Now the FBI has told
the truth.”
Former Brazilian star Romario, an
outspoken FIFA critic, said “someone
had to eventually arrest them one
day.”
Authorities conducted early-morning raids in Zurich at FIFA headquarters and the five-star Baur au Lac
Hotel. In Miami, FBI and IRS agents

Jaguars’ Lewis accepts pay cut, new role
Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE — Tight end
Marcedes Lewis knew his role
would change after the
Jacksonville Jaguars signed free
agent Julius Thomas in March.
Lewis’ salary ended up getting
modified, too.
Lewis restructured the final
year of his contract, taking a significant pay cut to remain in
Jacksonville. Now, with the
Jaguars holding organized team
activities, the veteran is trying to
prove he can stay healthy and be a
valuable asset in a complementary
role alongside Thomas.
“I understand it from a business

carried computers and boxes out
of the headquarters of
CONCACAF, the governing body
of North and Central America
and the Caribbean, whose past
and current presidents were
among 14 defendants named in a
47-count indictment filled with
corruption charges that include
wire fraud, money laundering
and racketeering conspiracy.
Swiss police arrested seven
soccer officials at the request of
American prosecutors and
standpoint. I’m a businessman
myself,” Lewis said. “I’m just ready
to work hard, do what I got to do
and help this team do some good
things. I’m paid to do a job. I’ve had
a chance to come here and do some
good things over the years and I’m
looking forward to doing the same
thing.”
Lewis is the team’s all-time
leader among tight ends for receptions (315), receiving yards (3,789)
and touchdowns (27). He’s been a
starter the past eight years.
But the 6-foot-6, 272-pound veteran has been plagued by injuries
the past two seasons, partially
prompting the Jaguars to look at
upgrading his position. Thomas
should be an upgrade considering
he’s caught 108 passes for 1,277
yards and 24 touchdowns the last
two years.
Lewis has one year remaining
on his current contract, which the
Jaguars asked him to restructure.
He took a sizeable pay cut in the
process. His base salary dropped
from $6.65 million to $2 million,
and his cap hit went from $8.2 million to $3.85 million.
Prior to the past two seasons,
Lewis had been a model of consistency, starting all but two of the
113 games he played in following
his rookie season of 2006. But
things changed starting in 2013.
He missed five of the first six
games with a calf injury suffered
in the preseason and saw his
reception total dip to 25 catches for
359 yards, his lowest marks since
his rookie season.
In 2014, he was on injured
reserve for eight games due to a
high ankle sprain. His numbers
fell even lower that season as he
finished with 18 receptions for 206
yards and two touchdowns.
When Thomas was signed, it left
Lewis with a new role. Coach Gus
Bradley was confident that Lewis
would buy into the change.
“I would have been surprised if
threatened them with extradition
to the U.S. Four other soccer and
marketing officials and two corporate entities agreed to plead
guilty, and prosecutors said they
agreed to forfeit more than $150
million in illegal profits.
“Beginning in 1991, two generations of soccer officials … used
their positions of trust within
their respective organizations to
solicit bribes from sports marketers in exchange for the commercial rights to their soccer tournaments,” U.S. Attorney General
Loretta E. Lynch said in New
York. “They did this over and
over, year after year, tournament
after tournament.”
Richard Weber, head of the
IRS Criminal Division, called the
case “the World Cup of fraud.”
Kelly T. Currie, acting U.S.
attorney for the Eastern District
of New York, said the 161-page
indictment detailed decades of
“brazen corruption” and said
prosecutors will probe the role of
banks involved.
“The ultimate victim is soccer
at large: it’s the fans, it’s the
organization,” Currie said. “The
reason that these people were
able to make so much money corruptly is just the love people have
for the sport.”
Two current FIFA vice presidents were among those arrested
and indicted, Jeffrey Webb of the
Cayman Islands and Eugenio
Figueredo of Uruguay. The others are Eduardo Li of Costa Rica,
Julio Rocha of Nicaragua, Costas
Takkas of Britain, Rafael
Esquivel of Venezuela and Jose
Maria Marin of Brazil.
All seven are connected with
CONCACAF and CONMEBOL,
South America’s governing body,
and face up to 20 years in prison
if convicted.
FIFA suspended 11 people,
including Webb and Figueredo,
from all soccer-related activities.
Webb called himself a reformer
when he was elected as
CONCACAF president in 2012.
Carter
“If not for Pooh Bear, I’m really not sure how
far we’d go,” Carter said. “He does a lot in that
gym and with our program. A lot of the reason
why we’ve been successful is because we’ve got
a lot of good players and more importantly, a
good assistant coach to help shape them in
Pooh. Together, we’ve got a good scheme and a
good understanding of what we’re supposed to
be doing.”
n There’s Bryant Oxendine, now an assistant coach at Palatka High, but also the father
of easily the best player Carter has had, twotime Daily News Player of the Year Jerrell
Oxendine. He recently finished his career at
Flagler and is embarking on a pro career overseas, Carter said. Bryant Oxendine provided
the moral support needed for a coach questioning himself, especially the two years after
Jerrell Oxendine graduated.
“Bryant kept telling me, ‘Keep playing, keep
playing,’” Carter said. “When we were winning
two and three games (in the 2011-12 and 201213 seasons), he said, ‘One day, you’re going to
Raiders
“I want us to get to the football
and be sound tacklers,” Smith
said. “I want to see everyone get
to the ball and not have three or
four people standing around
watching. We’ve been working on
getting 11 hats to the ball.”
The class 6A Wolves, who were
3-7 last year, feature an inside
get over the hump. Just keep on doing what
you’re doing and we’d get there.’ The Lord
blessed us these last two years.”
n And, of course, Carter’s wife Paula, his biggest supporter, who understands that being a
coach’s wife means being patient and going to
all sorts of places that are far from romantic.
“Basketball season is never over,” Carter
said. “She knows for me to be happy from
November to February, I’ve got to do things
now to get prepared for that time. She’s understanding of that and knows if we don’t get what
we have to get done in the offseason, I’m going
to be a sad guy. She goes along with a lot of the
stuff we do.”
And thus makes for what was a special winter as the Raiders won their second straight
District 8-1A championship, but this time,
knocked down the door to the state 1A Final
Four with an emphatic 67-53 victory over
Williston in the Region 4-1A championship in a
packed Crescent City gymnasium.
“What a feeling that was after 17 years,”
Carter reflected. “I wanted to thank the crowd
for being there, but I had to walk away. The
thing about it is a lot of people don’t understand
how much time and energy goes into what we
do.”
zone, according to Smith and will
most likely start a young man
Smith is familiar with – Mookie
Lane, the younger brother of former DeLand quarterback
Marquion Lane, who played
under Smith when he was the
Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator.
Older brother Marlin Lane played
collegiately at Tennessee.
“He, too, is a very savvy kid,”
Smith said of Lane. “We have got
to keep him going laterally and
not move with the ball.”
FLORIDA LOTTERY WEDNESDAY
052815a9.indd 1
A 57-40 loss to Hawthorne in the state 1A
semifinal at the Lakeland Center didn’t detract
the season. But Carter loses four-fifths of his
starting lineup – forward Max Jackson, guards
Gary Mims and Player of the Year Kenton
Bibbs and center Laron Fells.
Still, he feels confident about next season,
even with new kids coming up and three new
and unfamiliar opponents – Fort Meade,
Frostproof and Pahokee – joining 8-1A.
“It’s just a matter of us doing what we have
to do in the offseason,” said Carter, whose lone
returning starter is junior Daytwan Lewis.
“That’s where we get better as a team. I feel
like if we take care of our business, we have a
chance to compete.”
And as for how much longer he wants to
coach, Carter, who turns 60 next January, has
ideas.
“As long as I can get down in a defensive
stance and do the slide move, I’ll still coach,” he
said. “But when I can’t get into that, I start
realizing it may be time to go. If I can’t show a
move and have to have an assistant do it for
me, I’m not coaching anymore.”
He’s thankful he can do that now.
[email protected]
The spring game, as Smith
points out, is a time to see what he
has before going into the weight
room in the offseason and then
scheming for the fall season.
“It allows us to introduce what
varsity football is all about to our
younger kids,” Smith said. “By
June 15, we’ll be ready to get back
to work and fix problems that
came up in the spring game. It
gives me something to hang over
our players’ heads going into the
next season.”
Smith said he’s also looking for
leadership in Friday’s game – and
not necessarily from the seniors.
“It’s harder for younger kids to
lead, but oh yeah, if they’re putting in just as much as the older
kids, why not let them step up
and have a voice,” Smith said.
“I’ve got two (younger) kids that
don’t mind to tell older players to
get their stuff together and lead
by example. They can do that.”

points and eight rebounds, Harrison Barnes added
24 points and the Golden State Warriors advanced
to the NBA Finals for the first time in 40 years
with a 104-90 victory over the Houston Rockets on
Wednesday night.
After decades of wishing and waiting for this
moment, the Warriors have finally arrived. They
shook off a slow start and sweated out a shaky finish in Game 5 to close out the Rockets and set up a
matchup with LeBron James and the Cleveland
Cavaliers beginning June 4.
All five Rockets starters scored at least 10
points, but MVP runner-up James Harden had a
forgettable finale. Harden had a playoff-record 13
turnovers and scored 14 points on 2-of-11 shooting.
Dwight Howard led Houston with 18 points and
16 rebounds.
Yellow streams and confetti fell from the rafters
when the final buzzer sounded. The Warriors
shared hugs and handshakes, and the crowd
chanted “M-V-P!” for Curry, who relished the
moment on the court with his 2-year-old daughter,
Riley.
“We deserve to celebrate tonight but we’ve still
got unfinished business and it’s a long time coming
for the Bay Area,” All-Star Klay Thompson said.
Curry said he had no lingering effects from his
frightening fall in Game 4 that left him with a
bruised head and right side. The MVP wore a protective yellow sleeve on his right arm, which he
shed in the third quarter after shooting 4 for 12
and the Warriors clinging to a 52-46 halftime
lead.
Things got tougher on Curry when backcourt
mate Thompson faked a shot that drew Trevor
Ariza in the air early in the fourth quarter.
Thompson absorbed Ariza’s knee to the side of his
head, sending him to the floor.
SPORTS BRIEFS
NHL WESTERN FINALS
Blackhawks win, force Game 7
CHICAGO — Duncan Keith had three assists
and saved a goal in the third period, and the
Chicago Blackhawks beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-2
on Wednesday night to force a Game 7 in the
Western Conference finals.
Brandon Saad, Marian Hossa and Patrick Kane
scored in the second to help the Blackhawks hand
the Ducks their first regulation loss of the playoffs.
Andrew Shaw had two goals in the third, and
Corey Crawford finished with 30 saves.
The Blackhawks improved to 31-0 when leading
after two periods and erased some of the sting
from Monday night’s 5-4 overtime loss. Game 7 is
Saturday night in Anaheim.
Patrick Maroon and Clayton Stoner scored for
the Ducks, and Frederik Andersen made 18 saves.
BASEBALL
Mariners shut down Rays, 3-0
ST. PETERSBURG — The Rays provided Chris
Archer with no relief.
Nelson Cruz hit a three-run homer in the ninth
off Brad Boxberger after Archer pitched two-hit
ball for eight innings Wednesday and the Seattle
Mariners handed the Tampa Bay Rays their fifth
straight loss 3-0.
Boxberger gave up Cruz’s 18th home run after
two walks.
“I didn’t see the location of Boxberger’s pitch,”
Archer said, “but one mistake to probably the best
home run hitter in the game right now, and that
was the game.”
Hernandez pitched a four-hitter to become the
major’s first eight-game winner and the Mariners
completed their first three-game road sweep of the
Rays since 2000.
Pirates 5, Marlins 2
PITTSBURGH — Dan Jennings is getting used
to his view from the Miami Marlins dugout. It’s
what the rookie manager sees on the scoreboard
that’s already getting old.
Brad Hand pitched five shutout innings while
making an emergency start but Miami’s bullpen
let it slip away in a loss to Pittsburgh that dropped
the Marlins to just 2-8 since Jennings traded his
general manager’s suit for a uniform earlier this
month.
SEC FOOTBALL
Heavier fines for rushing field
DESTIN — The Southeastern Conference has
been fining its schools for rushing fields and
storming courts since 2004.
Now, a decade later, those penalties are going
up. Way up.
The league plans to “substantially” increase
fines for teams that violate its on-field policy.
The previous penalties started at $5,000 for
first-time offenders and increased to $25,000 for
second violations and up to $50,000 fines for third
and subsequent offenses.
The new system is expected to be finalized this
week at the SEC spring meetings in Destin, and
there have been discussions about increasing the
initial fine to $50,000.
Only five of the league’s 14 schools — Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State and Texas
A&M — have not incurred fines since the present
policy went into effect on Dec. 1, 2004.

Late-night TV veteran Bill Maher forges ahead with hit formula
By Sandy Cohen
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Bill Maher
strides into the weekly writers meeting for his HBO show and puts his
feet up on the table. His team of
scribes, many of whom he’s worked
with for 22 years, pepper him with
ideas and information: the new
Republican presidential candidates,
the latest outlandish political moves,
background on upcoming guests.
Every Tuesday, they brainstorm.
And every Friday, Maher brings his
pioneering brand of political humor
to late night TV on “Real Time with
Bill Maher,” saying he’s “not one bit
less engaged” than when he launched
“Politically Incorrect” in 1993.
As Jon Stewart takes leave of “The
Daily Show” and David Letterman
no longer in the late-night landscape,
the 59-year-old Maher becomes its
resident elder, fearlessly voicing his
personal views on TV and on stage,
and for the first time, taking his act
overseas.
“I’m still standing,” Maher said.
“I’m like the heterosexual, nonmusical Elton John.”
A forebear of “The Daily Show”
and other comedy-news shows,
“Politically Incorrect” lasted nine
years, first on Comedy Central, then
ABC. It was reborn in 2003 as “Real
Time with Bill Maher,” now in its
13th season. “Real Time” averages 4
million viewers a week, according to
HBO, keeping pace with shows
helmed by younger hosts. In
January, HBO announced Maher
would continue with “Real Time”
through 2017.
“I’m not sure that Bill Maher gets
enough credit for creating this
space,” says Larry Wilmore, who borrows from Maher’s format on “The
Nightly Show.” “‘Politically Incorrect’
was really a trailblazer of a show.
‘The Daily Show’ hadn’t started yet,
and no one was really doing that
type of honest comedic talk in late
night.”
And Maher is still at it, criticizing
politics and politicians with fervor.
Call him a prickly optimist: He’s sincere when he offers his opinions and
believes hopefully that change is possible in American politics.
“Of course I care!” he said. “It’s my
country. I want it to live up to its
great reputation. It has a great past
and it has great ideals, it just got off
course. It became too greedy and
selfish.”
Even though he used to feel guilty
about it (“People shouldn’t really get
their news from a comedy show.”),
Maher considers cracking about the
news an important responsibility.
He wants to fill viewers in on the latest happenings, he said, sneaking
some potentially provocative ideas in
among the jokes.
“I’m not a reporter. I don’t break
issues,” he said. “What I like to do is
break new ways of looking at issues.”
“Real Time” is part standup, part
interview and part discussion panel.
Guests include politicians, entertainers and other newsmakers.
Like Maher, executive producer
Scott Carter (one of the 22-year
guys), thinks about the show constantly, revising copy until air time.
“All the other shows have four or
five chances to do our jokes first,”
Carter said, referring to nightly competitors such as Stewart, Jimmy
Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and others.
He keeps watch on their shows and
scrubs “Real Time” jokes throughout
the week so the material is fresh for
Friday.
As executive producer and head
writer on “Real Time,” Maher isn’t
afraid to disagree with his creative
team or his guests, as he famously
did last year in an argument with
Ben Affleck about Islam. Whether
serious or played for laughs, whether
on TV or in his standup, Maher
insists he always expresses his sincere beliefs.
Tracy Morgan settles lawsuit with Wal-Mart over fatal crash
Entertainment
new york
U2’s longtime tour manager found dead
Dennis Sheehan, U2’s longtime tour manager, has died at a
Southern California hotel, a day after the band kicked off a
five-night stint in the Los Angeles area.
U2 frontman Bono posted a statement Wednesday on the
band’s website about Sheehan’s death.
“We’ve lost a family member, we’re still taking it in,” Bono
wrote. “He wasn’t just a legend in the music business, he was a
legend in our band. He is irreplaceable.”
Sheehan died at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West
Hollywood. He has managed U2’s tours for more than three
decades.
Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Chris Reade said first
responders were called around 5:30 a.m. to reports of a man in
cardiac arrest. Sheehan was pronounced dead at the scene.
Coroner’s investigators are at the hotel.
Victorian-era painting on view for 1st time
A painting by Victorian-era British artist Frederic Leighton
is going on view for the first time in New York City.
“Flaming June” depicts a young woman in a gauzy saffron
dress.
The work will be at The Frick Collection from June 9 through
Sept. 6. It is on loan to the museum from Puerto Rico’s Museo
de Arte de Ponce.
It will appear with a small oil sketch loaned by a private collection. Leighton created that while developing the palette for
the vibrant gown in “Flaming June.”
The Frick says the two works haven’t appeared together
since the late 19th century.
“Flaming June” was rediscovered in 1962 behind a false
panel of a London home. It was eventually acquired by the
museum in Puerto Rico.

NEWARK, N.J. — Actor-comedian
Tracy Morgan has settled his lawsuit
against Wal-Mart over a highway crash
that killed one man and left Morgan and
two friends seriously injured.
A filing in federal court in Newark on
Wednesday refers to a confidential settlement reached by the two sides.
Morgan’s lawyer didn’t immediately
respond to a message seeking comment
Wednesday.
Bentonville, Arkansas-based Wal-Mart
Stores Inc. called it an “amicable settlement.” Details weren’t disclosed.
A Wal-Mart truck slammed into the
back of a limo van carrying Morgan and
the others back from a show in Delaware
last June. Comedian James “Jimmy
Mack” McNair was killed. Morgan suffered head trauma, a broken leg and broken ribs.
Wal-Mart reached a settlement with
McNair’s two children in January.
McNair, of Peekskill, New York, grew up
with Morgan in New York City and was a
friend and mentor to him over the years.
Wal-Mart had said earlier this year it
was working toward settlements with the
victims of the crash.
“We know there is nothing we can do to
change what happened to Mr. McNair,”
company spokeswoman Brooke
Buchanan said in January. “We’re com-
mitted to doing what’s right.”
The truck driver, Kevin Roper, of
Jonesboro, Georgia, faces several criminal charges, including death by auto, in
state court. He has pleaded not guilty. He
wasn’t a defendant in Morgan’s federal
lawsuit.
Morgan, who starred on “Saturday
Night Live” and “30 Rock,” suffered what
his lawyer, Benedict Morelli, has referred
to as a traumatic brain injury. Morelli
said in March that Morgan wasn’t fully
recovered but was “working very hard to
get better, physically, emotionally and
mentally.”
Morgan had hoped to attend the 40th
anniversary show of “Saturday Night
Live” in February but was unable to.

“They’re essentially in solitary confinement,” Wise told
the judge before a crowd of

Christopher Coulston, an

argued that the case was meritless on procedural grounds
because the venue was improper and because granting the
chimps personhood would create a slippery slope regarding
the rights of other animals.
Much of the proceeding
focused on centuries-old legal
principles including the social
contract, the writ of habeas

Wise repeatedly cited legal
decisions that granted the writ
of habeas corpus to groups historically denied it — including
to Native Americans and
blacks during the 1800s.
Coulston said that it was

unprecedented, telling Jaffe

Ruthie Beams tote bags are helping her church help others
By Jennifer Thomas
I
Palatka Daily News correspondent
NTERLACHEN - Ruthie
Beams’ bags made from animal
feed sacks proves you can find
a new use for just about anything.
Beams of Interlachen takes the
empty sacks and cuts and sews
them into shoppers with handles.
They are used to cart groceries
and other items depending on the
bag’s size, they are sturdy and
hold anywhere from 11-50 pounds
of weight, she said.
They come in various hues from
reds to green, blue and orange
based on the individual manufacturers’ advertising designs and
show images of cats, chickens,
cows, dogs, fish, rabbits and a
hog.
While Beams fashions the bags
as a hobby, she also does it for a
good cause – a fundraiser for
Liberty Baptist Church of Palatka
where she and her husband, Ron
Beams, attend services.
She said she has made 300 bags
within the past few months.
Of those, 200 were displayed
last weekend at Liberty Baptist’s
non-profit table at the annual
Blue Crab Festival in Palatka. At
the booth, visitors could offer
donations and secure a bag.
The Rev. Don Aycock of Liberty
Baptist said they will use some of the
proceeds from the bags to support
donations to the Christian Service
Center.
Aycock said Ruthie Beams brought
one of the bags she made to church last
year. “Those little bags were almost
indestructible,” he said, adding, she
sewed some for church members.
“People were asking us for those bags,”
he said.
“Ruthie is one of those amazing people that can do everything well,”
Aycock said, adding she does crafts and
is a good musician. “I’m amazed at her
ability to do this,” he said.
Of Beams’ husband, Aycock said,

crochets scarves, dish cloths and dish

duck tape wallets, potato bags for
microwave potatoes and neck pillows.
“I’ve got lots of things I like to do,”
Beams said. She never gets bored.

“Meet me at Beef’s” isn’t
just a casual saying, its where
people meet for business
luncheons, dinner with the
family or a quick get together
to watch a game or play trivia
on Thursday nights at Beef
O’Brady’s.
On
the
riverfront
overlooking the St. Johns
River, Beef’s provides a
scenic location for waterfront
dining as well as a place to
host parties and meetings with
their banquet facilities.
Kick things off with one
of Beef’s classic starters
such as Cheesy Bacon Pub
chips, beer batter onion rings
or a wing starter basket in
traditional or boneless. Then
for a main course, try the St.
Louis Ribs glazed with your
choice of sweet and tangy
sauce or Kickin’ Bayou BBQ.
In the mood for something
new, try the Poblano Chicken
served with seasoned rice and
broccoli. However, for the
die hard Beef’s fans, nothing
beats their chicken wings
with famous sauces such as
Teriyaki, garlic parmesan,
kickin’ bayou BBQ and the
over the top hot Nuclear
sauce.
After an evening of
supporting your favorite local
sports teams, stop by Beef’s
for bite to eat with the team.
Kids eat free every Tuesday
evening from 4 p.m. until 8
p.m.
Looking for a place to
unwind, check out Beef’s
specialty drinks and two for
one specials, all day everyday.
With a hometown vibe,
servers who are fast and
friendly,
a
wonderful
riverfront location, book your
next function, or grab a table

operated.
