$3.3 million worth of state funds survives governor’s vetoes
BY ASIA AIKINS
Palatka Daily News
State budget appropriations for
Putnam County avoided Gov. Rick
Scott’s veto list this year, as the 2016
legislative session came to an end
Friday.
First Coast Technical College and
Stewart-Marchman-Act Behavioral
Healthcare led the county with longawaited appropriations that will fund
expanded services in Putnam.
First Coast Technical College will
continue renovations at its new
Palatka campus on Husson Avenue
after state officials approved the $1.5
million requested for improvements.
“This is a blessing for Putnam
County,” college President Sandy
Fortner said. “This is long overdue
and what the workforce needs.”
The renovations will result in a

County Superintendent Phyllis
Criswell.

brush fire Wednesday afternoon in the area of East
Pinellas Street and the west
side of State Road 19 shut
down a portion of S.R. 19.
The fire was the latest in a series of
suspicious brush fires in the area during the past several weeks that officials believe were intentionally started.
“We believe this is arson,” Putnam
County Emergency Operations and

TALLAHASSEE — Gov.
Rick Scott endorsed Donald
Trump one day after
the billionaire won the
Florida presidential
primary.
Scott made the

Wednesday on his official Facebook page.
The governor said
“it is now time for Scott
Republicans to accept

Putnam County Fair is more than just amusement rides
BY BRANDON D. OLIVER
Palatka Daily News
The Ferris wheel visible from blocks
away in East Palatka is a clear indicator to local residents the Putnam
County Fair is on its way.
Workers from Deggeller Attractions
arrived at the Putnam County
Fairgrounds Monday to begin erecting
rides, games and other booths in anticipation of the fair, which begins Friday

and ends March 26.
But Fairgrounds Manager Amy
Poupore said with numerous expos,
exhibits, horticulture shows, beauty
pageants and other attractions, the
fair is not just a collection of rides.
“People come for different reasons,”
Poupore said. “Some people come for
rides, but there’s more to it. We have
goats and sheep and rabbits. They
bring their animals in, and they work
very, very hard.”

spent millions of his fortune in
his first run for office. He was
elected governor in 2010.
Scott refused to make an
endorsement before
Florida’s primary but
dropped hints at a
possible Trump
endorsement. That
drew the ire of other
Republicans in the
state who had generally coalesced around
U.S. Sen. Marco
Rubio.
Trump easily beat
Rubio, of Florida, on Tuesday,
taking all 99 Florida
Republican delegates and forcing Rubio out of the race.

fire from approaching two homes on
East Pinellas Street.
Firefighters also battled windy conditions, which blew ash and embers
across S.R. 19.
“The fire jumped (the road) several
times,” Romay said.
Romay said the fire grew to 75
acres before it was contained.
Previously, a 30-acre fire was the
largest suspicious fire in the area,
State Forest Area Supervisor Jason

Inmate could once
again face execution
BY ANDREW
WELSH-HUGGINS
Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The
state can try again to put to
death a condemned killer
whose 2009 execution was
called off after two hours
during which he cried in
pain while receiving 18 needle sticks, the Ohio Supreme
Court said Wednesday.
The court’s 4-3 ruling
rejected arguments that giving the state prisons agency
a second chance to execute
Romell Broom would amount
to cruel and unusual punishment and double jeopardy.
Prosecutors argued double
jeopardy doesn’t apply
because lethal drugs never
entered Broom’s veins while
executioners unsuccessfully
tried to hook up an IV. They
also said a previously unsuccessful execution attempt
doesn’t affect the constitutionality of his death sentence.
Broom’s attorneys called
the ruling disappointing and
said they were exploring
“additional legal remedies.”
Ohioans to Stop Executions,
the state’s largest anti-death
penalty group, called on Gov.
John Kasich to commute
Broom’s sentence to life
without parole.
With a federal appeal of
the ruling likely, a second
execution is years away. In
addition, Ohio already has
more than two dozen death
row inmates with firm execution dates but no lethal
drugs to use on them.
Broom was sentenced to
die for raping and killing
14-year-old Tryna Middleton
after abducting her in
Cleveland in 1984 as she
walked home from a football
game with two friends.
Justice Judith Ann
Lanzinger sided with the
state in the case, saying the
execution never began
because the drugs weren’t
administered.
“Because Broom’s life was
never at risk since the drugs
were not introduced, and
because the state is committed to carrying out executions in a constitutional
manner, we do not believe
that it would shock the public’s conscience to allow the
state to carry out Broom’s
execution,” Lanzinger wrote.
The majority opinion said
it was unclear why Broom’s
veins couldn’t be accessed, a
fact that brings the rejection
of his appeal into question,
Justice Judi French wrote in
a dissent.
“If the state cannot
explain why the Broom execution went wrong, then the
state cannot guarantee that
the outcome will be different

OUR VIEW
A chance to
show off our
best features
T
he eyes of the fishing world will be on
Palatka and Putnam County the next few
days as the Bassmaster Elite Tournament
returns today through Sunday.
Congratulations to the Putnam County Chamber of
Commerce and many other local groups and individuals who have been working hard behind the scenes
to make this prestigious event a success.
This will be one of a series of events leading up to
the “Super Bowl” of tournaments, the Bassmaster
Classic. As usual, the ESPN film crew will be on hand
in Palatka to provide coverage for the potential millions of television viewers who subscribe to the
“World Wide Leader in Sports.”
We’re still keeping our fingers crossed the weather
cooperates, but there is no doubt there’s more to lure
this prestigious event back to our community than
just the world-class bass fishing opportunities alone.
Local officials work hard to roll out the red carpet
for our visitors, a fact that does not go unnoticed or
unappreciated.
Even if your only exposure to the tournament is
viewing the afternoon weigh-ins, there will be plenty
of excitement for those interested in the sport of bass
fishing.
Event organizers have outdone themselves this
year in putting together a weekend of activities and
events for the entire family.
Thanks in large part to the sponsorship of GeorgiaPacific, there will be a local festival along the Palatka
waterfront Saturday and Sunday that will include a
Kid Zone featuring plush animal racers, exhibits such
as Splash Into Science and Zoo to You and other
activities for children in and around the St. Johns
River Center.
New this year will be the Ozone Adventure, a 200foot zip line that will run along the river. The familyfriendly Elite Series Expo will include exhibit booths,
demo rides and giveaways from companies such as
Mercury, Nitro, Skeeter, Triton and Yamaha. These
exhibits will also be free and open to the public.
Throw in additional games and prizes for attendees, angler autograph and photo sessions and the
opportunity to learn tips and techniques from some
of the best bass anglers in the world, and you have
the makings of a first-class family event.
Then there’s the actual tournament itself, with 111
of the top bass anglers in the world, including local
favorites Cliff Prince and Terry Scroggins, competing
for the $100,000 first-place prize.
Boats will be leaving at 7:15 a.m. each day, with
weigh-in ceremonies beginning at 3:30 p.m. daily.
We encourage you to attend and bring the entire
family. You’ll have a blast, and you’ll also be supporting efforts to have this event return to Putnam
County in the future. Who knows, you might even
spot your face on national television.
This is our chance to shine, so please make our visitors welcome as they have the opportunity for
themselves to learn about the many good things that
make Putnam County a great place to live, work and
play.
We are happy to be a host community on
Bassmaster Elite tour, an honor that many other
towns would surely also welcome.
Thanks again the event sponsors and the many
local businesses and volunteers that will be working
hard to make the upcoming weekend a success.
See you at the waterfront!

Wanted: World leaders of clear vision
O
ccasionally, these troubled days,
when I think about the dream of a
unified Europe and how it has
miraculously developed during the past 60
years, my thoughts drift back to happier
times.
I see an elegant Turkish minister for
European Union affairs, sitting in his office
in Ankara, chatting with me 15 years ago.
He has an enormous book on his desk —
18,000 pages, in fact, of bureaucratic
instruction from Brussels.
The minister explained Turkey was
determined to fulfill even the tiniest and
seemingly most irrelevant EU demands —
everything from the minutiae of how government offices are organized, to big questions about how the people of a once-great
empire like the Ottoman can now join a
cooperative, but persnickety and self-consciously egalitarian group like the EU.
Then my thoughts move to the several
times I interviewed Dr. Javier Solana, the
charming and persuasive Spanish diplomat,
when he was leader of NATO and then foreign policy chief of the EU.
Always, as we walked out of his office, he
would say to me, with profound emotion
underlying his words: “You see, this means
the end of war in Europe. How can we fight
one another when we are all tied up together?”
Many husbands and wives all across the
world could rather easily answer that question, but prospective EU members could not
— until this year.
With the uprooting of 11 million people
from war-torn Syria and its environs; with
the movement of at least a million refugees,
immigrants and/or freeloaders from the
Middle East, Africa and Asia into Germany
alone; and with the right wing’s victories in
recent Germany’s elections, the EU’s decline
and fragmentation suddenly seem possible.
“Europe enters the age of disintegration,”
said a typical article headlined in The
Financial Times. Matteo Renzi, the Italian
prime minister, told The New York Times,
“This is not Europe. This is a nightmare.”
GEORGIE
ANN GEYER
And arguably the most distinguished of
European commentators, the venerable
Martin Wolf, outlined cogently the reasons
for the depressive atmosphere, again in The
Financial Times. “First, of all aspects of globalization, mass immigration is the most
disruptive,” he said. “Movement across borders needs to be brought under control.
“The presence of 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. should never
have been permitted. In the case of Europe,
regaining control of the borders is an overwhelming priority if the union is even to
survive.”
Winter did not relieve the human tsunamis washing across Europe. In fact, there
was only the slightest change in numbers.
Another 65,000 refugees arrived in
Germany in January alone.
Meanwhile, the meetings between the
EU and Turkey, which abuts Syria and Iraq
and is filled to breaking itself with refugee
problems, featured attempts by the EU to
reward Turkey for clamping down on refugees leaving for inside Europe.
But think about it. The agreement would
instead allow free entry to Turks into
Europe. There are 80 million of them, many
of them eager to get away from the increasingly authoritarian Islamic government at
home.
Since my interview with the Turkish
minister in Ankara, the EU has put off,
again and again, the country’s entrance to
the new “Europe.” Why? Because Europe
judged over the last 20 years or more it
could not integrate any more of the Muslim
Turks. So now the EU has exchanged its
fears of the Syrians, Iraqis and Afghanis for
taking in more Turks. Something is screwy
here.
Wise Europeans — older, experienced
men like Wolf — see this problem of mass
numbers moving about the world is not
exclusive to Europe.
Early in March, a new study by the
respected Center for Immigration Studies
showed more than 61 million immigrants
and their American-born children under age
18 now live in the U.S. Most, about threefourths, are legal immigrants, but nevertheless, this is about one-fifth of the American
population of 320 million that does not have
any depth of history in this country. And
this number is growing all the time.
Which brings us to the core of the problem no leader or even wise man or woman is
addressing.
First, the problem is overpopulation. As
the world’s population grows, people live
ever closer to one another. This always creates problems — and, often enough, hatred
and violence. Second, modern communications have told people all across the world
leaving their problems behind, moving and
claiming a stake in others’ countries, is fully
possible — even when it is not.
Finally, governance is in marked decline
all across the world. Healthy free markets
are not understood by the majority of
migrating people, who are fully willing to
work but are unable to figure out what to
work at, or why, or where. And world leaders failed to help them at the task.
These largely Third World problems are
now threatening parts of the First World —
Europe in particular, but also increasingly
the U.S., Australia and outposts such as
Singapore — whose wealth and stability
these suffering people dream of.
We are in dire need of wise leaders who
can outline the patterns we are suffering
through in this overcrowded, overstressed
and overwrought world today so we might
then start to work at the answers.

been working on getting a community center in Crescent
City,” Kennedy said. “We’ve
put together a working group
to present options and try to
get something to happen.”
After eight months of meetings, Kennedy said, the group
came to a consensus on the
three options. Two use existing
buildings, and a third option
suggests tearing down a building and construct a new community center.
“In the end, we came up with
the three targets for community center options that we felt
were the most viable based on
how much money you want to
spend and how much community center you would like to
have,” Kennedy said.
Two options center around
the former Miller Enterprises
administration building at 301
Central Ave.
Kennedy said the
8,512-square-foot, two-story
building would cost between
$600,00 and $700,00 to rehabilitate and would require a
new roof, electrical upgrades,
accessibility improvements and
an elevator to make use of a
second floor.
“You’re going to end up with
9,000 square foot of maintenance,” Kennedy said. “As a
city manager, that’s the biggest
con for that approach. You’re
looking at much higher maintenance costs.”
A less expensive option at
the same location entailed tearing down the current structure
and building a new single-story

community center.
“Demolition costs are roughly estimated at $42,000,”
Kennedy said. “Construction
estimated at $122 per square
foot, we are looking at $427,000
for a new building.”
Kennedy said positives for a
new building on Central
Avenue was high visibility,
plenty of parking and lower
maintenance costs.
“Cons of this option is we
would be taking a piece of commercial property off the tax
rolls,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy said the third
option was rehabilitating city
owned property at 105 Cypress
Ave.
“We had an original estimate
in 2008-09 of $150,000,”
Kennedy said.
Kennedy said since that time
and meeting with city’s current
building official, some upgrades
made by an architect were not
required.
“We would have to have
handicap accessible bathrooms,
and we would have to put in
new heating and air conditioning,” Kennedy said. “We would
be closer to the $80,000 range.
It’s a low-cost solution for construction and maintenance.”
Negatives for the building
are limited parking, low visibility and flexible meeting space
is only about 1,000 square feet.
Kennedy said the MultiCultural Arts Guild Inc. was
also interested in the Cypress
Avenue building as an arts center and was eager to begin
work on the building if the commission approved an agreement.
“They’ve been working on a
concept, and they are not
opposed to a joint-use type concept,” Kennedy said.
Marcia Marinello, president
of the guild, said the group
developed a plan so each room
in the building would be revenue generating.
“If we were to go in there, we
would need to cover our own
expenses,” Marinello said.
Marinello said rooms would
include classes, exhibition
spaces, a gift shop and studio
rental spaces.
“An art center is an important part of a community,”
Marinello said.
Marinello said the group
wanted to apply for a facility
arts center grant to help with
rehabilitation costs for the
building.
“We’re ready to go,”
Marinello said. “For us, time is
of the essence. We have until
June 1 to write that grant.”
Kennedy said he needed to
call about the grant to see if it
could be used as a joint arts
and community center project.
Commissioners asked about
the possibility of tearing down
the Central Avenue building
and creating a joint use facility
using grant money.
“(The Central Avenue) building is going to have to come
down at some point, or we’re
going to have to start spending
money on it,” Kennedy said.
Mayor Joseph Santa said the
size of building at Cypress
Avenue was a downside to
picking the property for a community center and could be
outgrown quickly.
Kennedy told commissioners
he would get more information
on the grant program, with the
possibility of a combined arts
and community center to present at April’s meeting.
man of Stewart-MarchmanAct’s legislative committee.
“These are the people who
need it the most. And this client base isn’t getting much
now.”
According to Bates, the
Florida Assertive Community
Treatment team is an evidence-based program that provides treatment and care management 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, for people with
the most serious and persistent mental illnesses. Bates
said many of those people are
often homeless or incarcerated.
Putnam County
Administrator Rick Leary said
the team is important to
Putnam and will benefit many
people.
“It should also show some
cost-savings,” Leary said. “The
alternative to getting these
services is usually going to a
treatment facility. So this will
be good.”
Leary said Putnam County
also made it past the governor’s veto list with a $300,000

to educate and highlight the
importance of agriculture to
the area.
“It brings together not just

I never thought of this as an

my computer.
I explained that remembering names is hard for me, so I
record the interaction so I can
recall the name and person who
I was speaking to. She called
this “creepy.”
I’ve never thought of my process as something that would
make someone uncomfortable;
I just found a way to fix a problem about myself.

We ended up compromising,
and I paid for 50 percent of
the item. I still think this was
unjust.
If storekeepers set up
their stores like this, it should
not be my responsibility to pay

Should I not have put up a

accident. — Cramped Spaces,

Dear Cramped Spaces: It’s
too bad that you got caught in
that.
I think it was reasonable for
you to put up a bit of a fight
about paying for the broken item

was also fair that you came to a
compromise.
In the future, I recommend that
you avoid going into any retail

Their staffs prepare sheets

Similarly, publicists use the

not alone. Keep your method. It

At the bridge table, one tries
to find successful opening leads,
but it is impossible to do it on
every deal. In this example from
Steve Conrad of Manhasset, New
York, West found the worst possible start. True, if declarer could
see all 52 cards, West did not
have a winning lead. But if he
had selected a card from any suit
but hearts, surely the contract
would have failed.
How did South get home in six
spades after West led the heart
queen? What do you think of the
bidding?
In the auction, North did a
double-cross, giving his partner
the choice of playing in three
no-trump or at least five spades.
North should have rebid four notrump, which ought to be quantitative, not ace-asking. (To use
Blackwood, North starts with a
Texas transfer at the four-level,
responding four hearts, then bids
four no-trump.) Here, though,
South would probably have rebid
five spades.
In the given auction, four notrump was Roman Key Card
Blackwood, South’s reply indicating two aces and the spade
queen.
South realized that he needed to take these 12 tricks: five
spades, three hearts, two diamonds, one club, and a diamond
ruff in the short-trump hand. He
won the first trick, cashed his
spade queen, played off dummy’s top diamonds, ruffed the
diamond six high in his hand,
drew trumps, ran the heart nine
to West’s jack, and claimed.

Major
win for
‘66 Miners
T
he opposing team’s locker
room is a place Pat Riley has
generally considered off-limits
for almost all his basketball
life: Do not enter except under
extreme circumstances.
Fifty years ago was one of those circumstances.
Riley and his teammates on
Kentucky’s all-white squad had just
lost the national championship game
to little Texas Western, which started
five black players. It was a historic
moment in both college basketball and
U.S. race relations.
As he left the floor that day, Riley
realized he had not shaken hands with
the winners. So the Kentucky star
found the nerve to venture into the
Texas Western locker room.
“It was just joy,” Riley recalled
recently. “Just joy. Their players were
in there, their families were in there. I
just went immediately, quickly
through there, said what I had to say
and left them to have their moment.
And what they did that night has resonated for 50 years since.”
March 19, 1966. Texas Western 72,
Kentucky 65.
At the height of the civil rights
movement, it was much more than a
basketball game. Immortalized — and
introduced, perhaps, to a new generation — through the movie “Glory Road”
10 years ago, the game marks its 50th
anniversary during the opening weekend of this year’s NCAA Tournament.
And in all eight of the NCAA men’s
games that will be played on the actual
anniversary date, black players and
white players will compete alongside
and against one another, not held back
from attending a certain school
because of the color of their skin.
“The contributions that that team
made and the way those guys stuck
together — they’re the reasons also
why I have a job at the University of
Alabama,” said Crimson Tide coach
Avery Johnson, a former NBA player.
“And why a lot of these other AfricanAmerican players around the country
can go and play at these Division I
schools and play in such a way that
they don’t have to look over their shoulders because of racial situations.”
Such is the legacy of what Texas
Western did that night at Cole Field
House in Maryland.
By winning a game, they changed
the game.
“I never felt that we were playing
against five black players,” said Riley,
a winner of nine NBA titles and now
president of the Miami Heat. “I don’t
know what they felt. Only now, 50
years later can maybe the truth come
out and all of the thoughts come out
about that night. It turned out to be a
rather significant moment in AfricanAmerican history from the standpoint
of what it did for college basketball and
the segregation and the integration
part of it.”
The latest data collected by Richard
Lapchick and his Institute for
Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the
University of Central Florida showed
that at the Division I men’s level, more
than 57 percent of the basketball players are black. And two years ago, 51
percent of women’s Division I players
were black. (Most of the coaching and
administrative positions in college basketball are still held by whites.)
“The greatest number of career prospects are in college sport rather than
professional sport because of the number of jobs available,” Lapchick said in
issuing his latest college report. “That
makes it even more important for us to
create expanded opportunities in college sport for women and people of
color.”
A Texas Western effect, if you will.
It happened for players 50 years ago,
or at least started to happen.
Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo left his
home state of North Carolina in the
late 1960s to spend his first two years
of college at a small school in Indiana.
He said he did so in part because of the
pressures that came with being a
young black man playing in the South
at that time.
Then his father fell ill, and McAdoo
wanted to be closer to home. ThenNorth Carolina coach Dean Smith told
him that coming to what was then a
nearly all-white campus might not be
easy.
“But I’ll treat you like a son,”
McAdoo recalled the UNC coach saying. “So that told me I would be all
right, and I went to North Carolina.
Things were changing.”

Yet another wild win for SJR State
Dowell has five hits in
12-11 conference contest
Palatka Daily News
There were 23 runs on 34 hits,
nine for extra bases.
Imagine if the wind had been
blowing out Wednesday at LakeSumter State College.
It was blowing in, taking at least
two home runs away from St. Johns
River State College, according to
coach Ross Jones, but the Vikings
managed yet another win in their
final at-bat, 12-11, completing a
three-game series sweep of the
Lakehawks.
Taking a .393 batting average into
the game, Alec Dowell went 5-6 with
a home run, a double and five RBI.
His three-run homer made it 9-9 in
the eighth inning and his RBI double
made it 11-11 in the ninth.
Omar Villaman was 4-5 and
scored three runs, including the
game-winner on Matthew Rhodes’
ninth-inning sacrifice fly.
St. Johns improved to 27-5 overall
and 8-1 in the Mid-Florida
Conference – keeping pace with
Santa Fe, a 4-1 winner Wednesday
over Daytona State. Lake-Sumter
fought the Vikings tooth and nail for
the second straight game, only to fall
to 9-21 and 1-8.
“It’s another one-run win,” said
Jones, whose club has had eight such
games in five weeks. “The maturity
and resiliency these guys have
shown is phenomenal. We go to the
eighth down 9-5 and everyone is
calm in the dugout. It’s like ‘We’ve
got this.’”
And when the Lakehawks scored
two in the bottom of the eighth to
regain the lead at 11-9, the Vikings
went right back to work in the ninth.
Cole Perry singled, Nick Owens
was hit by a pitch and Villaman singled to load the bases for Wes Weeks,
whose third sacrifice fly of the game
scored Perry to make it 11-10. Dowell
then doubled to right center, scoring
Owens to tie the game, and Rhodes
followed with a warning-track fly to
center that plated Villaman.

resh from his victory in the 2016
Bassmaster Classic two weeks ago in
Tulsa, Okla., and taking home a
check for $300.000, Edwin Evers of
Talala, Okla., would like to add
another $100,000 in this week’s BASS Elite
Series and boast a second Series win in
Palatka on the St. Jones River.
In the 2011 Elite, Evers edged out local
angler Terry Scroggins by almost three
pounds with a four-day weight of 77.1
pounds.
While launching his boat last Monday
morning at Palatka City Dock for the first of
a three-day pre-fishing period, Evers said he
was concerned about the weather this week
and what changes it might make for fishing.
“With unpredictable weather, you must be
quick to adjust your tactics,” said Evers.
Evers said he will be staying with the parents of fellow Elite angler Cliff Prince during
the four-day event.
“What a great family Cliff has. They are
very supportive of him,” said Evers.
Local anglers Prince of Palatka and
Scroggins of San Mateo hope to bring a victory to the hometown spectators. Prince’s best
finish was 16th in 2012. Scroggins was second in 2011.

TALLAHASSEE — Florida
State coach Jimbo Fisher was
eager to see all the position battles
when the Seminoles began spring
practice on Wednesday. Most of
focus, though, was honed in on his
quarterbacks.
With Sean Maguire not participating due to offseason ankle surgery, the door is open for J.J.
Cosentino, Deondre Francois and
Malik Henry to make impressions
on the coaching staff. Maguire,
who suffered in the injury in the
Monday morning at City Dock.
“The weather could turn bad including
strong winds, and that’s going to make sight
fishing almost impossible, and will go to protected areas like coves, creeks and canals,”
said Schultz.
The Bassmaster Elite Series is presented
by Dick Cepek Tires and Wheels.
Tournament days are today through
Sunday at the Palatka riverfront. Launches
are scheduled for 7:15 a.m. Weigh-ins will
take place at 3:30 p.m.
A total purse of $638,000 will be paid to the
top 50 anglers.
Those anglers will also win points toward
the Toyota Bass Angler of the Year title and
qualifications for the 2017 GEICO

MADISON, Wis. — The arenas tend
to be larger for the NCAA Tournament.
The media spotlight is brighter.
Tensions rise with seasons on the line.
In the NCAAs, postseason experience can be just as important, if not
more pivotal, than sheer talent.
Been there, done that.
“It’s important as long as you use it
to your advantage,” Wisconsin coach
Greg Gard said.
Of the 68 teams that qualified for the
tournament, Michigan State has the
most NCAA experience on its roster,
with a cumulative total of 59 games
among active players over the previous
four seasons, according to STATS.
North Carolina was next with 48
games, followed by Wichita State (41),
Wisconsin (38) and four schools each
with 37 games of NCAA experience
going into this year’s tournament.
The list accounts for players who
may have had NCAA experience at
other schools. It does not account for
Wichita State’s appearance in the First
Four this week.
The second-seeded Spartans and topseeded Tar Heels are contenders again
to advance deep into the tournament.

Taylor 3-run HR lifts Nationals past Marlins, 4-2
Associated Press
JUPITER – Michael Taylor’s oppositefield, three-run homer proved to be all the
runs the Washington Nationals needed
Wednesday in a 4-2 victory over the Miami
Marlins.
The 24-year-old right-handed-hitting outfielder from nearby Fort Lauderdale sent a
1-1 pitch over the right field wall to give
Washington a 4-0 lead in the third inning.
“The other way seems to be his power,”
Washington manager Dusty Baker said.
Making his second start of the spring,
Miami’s Wei-Yin Chen cruised through the
first two innings, but the Nationals solved
him in the third. He retired the first seven
Washington batters before Trea Turner
reached on an infield single. That started a
run of five consecutive hits.
A free-agent signee in the offseason, Chen
said he made a conscious effort after the second inning to throw more change-ups than he
normally would.
Vikings
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7A
Tyler Carr pitched a perfect
ninth – two strikeouts, then a pop
fly – for his seventh win of the
season without a loss. The sophomore closer has a win or a save in
“I was just working my change-up so I
didn’t throw it in a normal pattern or how I
would use it in a regular-season game, but we
are getting close to the opening of the season,
so maybe in the next game or in the next few
games I will start to try to get on track and
try to use it as in a real game,” Chen said
through an interpreter.
Miami scored both of its runs in the sixth.
Dee Gordon tripled for the second-consecutive day, driving in Destin Hood. Gordon
raced home on a wild pitch.
Nationals shortstop Danny Espinosa ended
a 0-for-17 start with a single through the left
side in the fourth, part of his two-hit afternoon.
In his spring debut, Marlins closer A. J.
Ramos retired the side in order in the ninth.
Cardinals 8, Braves 8, tie
KISSIMMEE – Jaime Garcia cruised
through three innings before allowing four
runs on four hits and the St. Louis Cardinals
blew a three-run lead before playing to a tie
15 of St. Johns’ 27 victories. Carr
was the Vikings’ sixth pitcher
Wednesday, entering with two out
in the seventh.
In addition to Dowell and
Villaman, SJR State had multihit games from Perry (3-5, one
RBI) and Owens (2-4, three runs).
Weeks, Rhodes and Harlan Harris
were all 1-3, Weeks with three

FORT MYERS – Kyle Gibson settled down
after serving up a leadoff homer to Mookie
Betts, striking out seven in an encouraging
pitching performance that helped the
Minnesota Twins beat the Boston Red Sox.
Yankees 2, Blue Jays 1
TAMPA – Brett Gardner went 0 for 2 in his
first spring training game of the year, Starlin
Castro hit a two-run homer and made a nifty
defensive play and the New York Yankees

Tigers 7, Astros 3.
KISSIMMEE – Jordan Zimmermann
pitched three shutout innings and Ian
Kinsler hit one of three home runs by the
Detroit Tigers in their win over the Houston
Astros.
Orioles 9, Pirates 3
SARASOTA – Right-hander Juan Nicasio
struck out 10 Orioles in four innings in the
Pittsburgh Pirates’ loss to Baltimore
RBI, and Hunter Alexander was
1-5. Lake-Sumter center fielder
Danny Cumba denied Alexander
a grand slam with an over-thefence catch.
“We swung the bats realty well
– really, realty well,” Jones said.
“We played really well. So did
they.”
Lake-Sumter fought St. Johns
all the way before losing 9-7
Monday night at Tindall Field.
“They’re so well-coached,” Jones
said. “They’ve got a great twostrike approach and they put balls
in play. Lake-Sumter gives us fits
every time we go down there.”
The Vikings begin a three-game
set with Daytona State at home
Saturday afternoon.
McCole, Faulk
key Rams’ win
Palatka Daily News
Kyle McCole turned in a complete game and
Logan Faulk drove in three runs on his two hits
as Interlachen downed visiting Duval Charter
4-1 in a District 2-4A baseball game Wednesday
night at Ram Field.
McCole (3-1) struck out nine and gave up
three hits, all singles, in a walk-free performance. The Rams improved to 7-4 overall and
2-2 in the district while dropping Duval to 8-5
and 1-4.
“He threw a lot of strikes – mostly fastballs,”
said IHS coach Jeff Finch of McCole. “He fielded
his position well. He probably got four or five
outs himself. And we made plays behind him.”
Interlachen had just three hits, but got the
most out of them.
Darius Oliver walked and Kolby Foshee was
hit by a pitch to begin the first inning. Faulk and
McCole came up with RBI singles for a 2-0 lead.
Faulk followed with a two-out, two-run double
to tight center in the second inning. Leadoff man
Hagen Masciale was hit by a pitch and Blake
Russell walked to set the table for Faulk.
“He was due,” Finch said.
Duval Charter picked up an unearned run in
the fifth, but McCole got through the sixth and
seventh without trouble.
Interlachen plays Crescent City and host
Palatka Saturday in the Putnam County
Tournament at the Azalea Bowl.
TENNIS
n Host Interlachen got a tiebreaking win at first
singles by Cheyenne Walker, 8-7 (10-7), but that
would be it as the Rams fell to Gainesville
Eastside, 6-1.
The Rams are 3-8. They will travel to Palatka
for a boys and girls match today.
FLAG FOOTBALL
n Abrielle Robertson ran 20 yards for a touchdown with 1:30 remaining, but the conversion
attempt failed and Palatka was unable to get the
ball back in a 14-6 loss to visiting Ocala Trinity
Catholic.
Robertson’s touchdown was the 0-4 Panthers’
first of the season on offense.
“The defense played pretty good tonight,” said
PHS coach Darrell Polite. “We’re working. We’re
trying to get better.”

Jacksonville keeps Florida-Georgia
JACKSONVILLE — Florida and Georgia will
continue playing their annual rivalry game in
Jacksonville through 2021.
The schools and the city announced a five-year
agreement Wednesday.
Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry says the new
deal “further strengthens the Georgia-Florida tradition we have enjoyed here in Jacksonville for 83
years.”
The game has been played in Jacksonville since
1933, and the city estimates the economic impact
to have been $35 million in 2015.
Both schools expected the deal to get done after
athletic directors Jeremy Foley (Florida) and Greg
McGarity (Georgia) saw renderings of EverBank
Field renovations and learned those would not
reduce the 83,000-seat capacity. The city and the
Jacksonville Jaguars are currently upgrading premium-seating sections on both sides of the stadium.
Bowden records hole-in-one
TALLAHASSEE — Former college coach Bobby
Bowden proved football isn’t his only sport when
he recently shot his second hole-in-one.
The Tallahassee Democrat reports that the former Florida State coach was playing Monday at
the Golf Club of Quincy, about a half-hour from
Tallahassee. The 86-year-old was swinging his
3-wood when he aced the par-3 12th hole.
Bowden was in a foursome with former college
football coach and FSU player Gene McDowell and
two local players. They all signed Bowden’s scorecard.

Ex-Jaguar Branch joins Dolphins
MIAMI — Free agent defensive end Andre
Branch has agreed to terms with the Miami
Dolphins, giving them a veteran backup to
Cameron Wake and newcomer Mario Williams.
Branch started nine games last year for
Jacksonville and had four sacks. He’s a four-year
veteran with 14 career sacks, all with the Jaguars.

Hurricanes heavily favored
They look to show how they’ve
matured vs. MAC champions
By Kyle Hightower
Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Whatever happens
this week, the one thing Miami is vowing not
to do is take being back in this year’s NCAA
Tournament for granted.
The South Region’s
third seed, the Hurricanes

Buffalo,
off a humbling trip to the
TNT, 6:50
NIT after late-season losses evaporated their NCAA
hopes.
It makes their first-round matchup with
14th seed Buffalo (20-14) a chance to show how
much they’ve grown since then.
“I think it’s a great feeling for me and my
teammates,” senior center Tonye Jekiri said. “I
mean, being here my freshman year, it was
really exciting, being around with the great
seniors we had. And these tournaments are so
amazing, and being with these guys and me

Texas Tech coach Tubby
Smith — who was Kentucky’s
coach from 1997 through 2007,
winning a national title there —
remembers watching the
Kentucky-Texas Western game
on television. In black and
white, of course. And he was
rooting for the Miners.
“It was like pulling for Joe
Louis, pulling for Jackie
Robinson, pulling for a lot of
African Americans playing
sports,” Tubby Smith said.
He grew up in Maryland the
son of sharecroppers, and
doesn’t remember watching too
many games before that one.
But he remembers every detail
of that day — for example, it
rained.
“I was just going from my
ninth grade to my 10th grade,
and I was just going from a predominantly all-black school at
George Washington Carver to
Great Mills High School,”
being a senior and enjoying this moment
together, it’s a blessing to us.”
The Bulls, fresh off their second straight
Mid-American Conference title, come in equally motivated after surviving a string off the
court adversity this season.
It started in October when coach Nate Oats’
wife, Crystal Oats, was diagnosed with cancer.
Assistant coach Jim Whitesell’s brother passed
away in December, and freshman forward
Nikola Rakicevic’s mother died last month.
It’s made making their second consecutive
tournament appearance count a priority in a
game Oats acknowledged they are a heavy
underdog.
“We’re definitely underdogs,” he said. “If you
come into a game like this tight, that doesn’t
help anything. Kind of playing with house
money right now.
“We’re going to give it our best effort. If we
hit some shots like we did in the MAC tournament, we’re going to have a shot at it.”
n PLAYING FAST: Buffalo has played
some of its best basketball this season in fastpaced, up-and-down games. The Bulls have
also utilized the 3-pointer well, connecting on
35 in their three MAC tournament games.
Oats said his team likely could not win a slowdown game, and he wants his team to continue
to play loose offensively.
Tubby Smith said. “So that was
really a watershed moment, a
special time for me watching it
because that very next year I
was going to be playing at Great
Mills High School with white
classmates and white teammates.”
Just like that, he realized it
didn’t have to be blacks vs.
whites, even at that time in
America.
Most games weren’t on television then, and even though
Texas Western was 23-0 and
ranked No. 2 in the nation at
one point, many people didn’t
see the Miners coming.
“We didn’t even hardly
know who Texas Western
was,” Riley said.
Riley doesn’t remember any
great motivational speech on
game day from Adolph Rupp,
the legendary Kentucky coach
who, to Riley’s chagrin, comes
across as something of a racist
in the movie.
And on the Texas Western
side, black Miners star David
Lattin said he didn’t even realize that coach Don Haskins was

after his team won the Big Ten
Tournament. Coach Tom Izzo
said that has been a “battle cry”
for his seniors since Michigan
State lost to Duke in the Final
Four last season.
Seventh-seeded Wisconsin
and 11th-seeded Wichita State
face tougher roads — though
experience can especially make
a difference for lower seeds.
n WISCONSIN: The
Badgers’ two most important
players, forward Nigel Hayes
and point guard Bronson
Koenig, have known nothing
other than making it to a Final
Four during their careers, having each played in 11 NCAA
games the previous two seasons.
The Badgers struggled early
this season in part because they
were relying on so many former
backups or freshmen to take on
more responsibilities.
Starting forward Ethan Happ
watched from the bench as a
redshirt last season while the
Badgers made their run to the
NCAA title game. His main job
then was to be a cheerleader

“I was just kind of there, eatHaskins barely even made any ing cookies and doing homemention of race that season,
including the day of the title
game.
“He said, ‘You know what? It’s

work, stuff like that,” the freshman Happ said Tuesday when
asked about his experience last
year. “So it wasn’t too much
pressure on me.”
That’s going to change. Gard
expects Hayes and Koenig to
continue to offer leadership.
“Coming in as a freshman,
even as a sophomore, I was a
little nervous coming into the
tournament. I didn’t know
exactly what to expect seeing all
the lights and the media attention that everyone gets,” Koenig
said.
“Hopefully (Hayes and I) can
shed some experience on the
younger guys and tell them just
to focus on the task at really …
not to get caught up in the other
stuff.”
n WICHITA STATE: The
Shockers showed their veteran
poise on Tuesday in routing
Vanderbilt 70-50 in a First Four
game in Dayton, Ohio. Seniors
Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker,
who were part of Wichita State’s
2013 Final Four team, led the
way against the Commodores.
Shockers coach Greg
Marshall was so impressed with
the senior duo’s poise at an
NCAA press conference earlier
this week that he said they
reminded him of “just a couple
of businessmen giving a presentation.”
“They’re so used to it. They’ve
been doing it their whole
careers. But it’s not something
that’s your God-given right,”
Marshall said. “It’s something
that you’ve got to earn and you
should appreciate it and hopefully we can make it special.”
n FOUR AT 37: Schools
with 37 games of cumulative
NCAA experience were No. 6
seed Arizona, No. 4 seed Duke,
No. 7 seed Dayton and top-seeded Kansas.
Dayton faces a tough firstround matchup against No. 10
seed Syracuse and veteran
coach Jim Boeheim. But the
older Flyers can be bolstered by
the memories of having beaten
Syracuse two years ago during
an NCAA run to a regional
final.
Arizona was a top seed in
2014 and a No. 2 seed in 2015,
but was beaten by Wisconsin
each year.
Kansas is a favorite to take
the title won last season by
Duke.
“Last time I didn’t know what
to expect, and I wasn’t a part of
this,” Blue Devils sophomore
guard Grayson Allen said
Wednesday at a press conference. “And I think for us as the
returning guys, we have a lot
more excitement. We’ve all had
bigger roles coming into this
year, and it’s a lot more exciting
this year.”
players for the way he handled the offense. His ability as
a dual-threat quarterback
running and passing also has
drawn some comparisons to
former FSU standout and
2013 Heisman Trophy winner
Jameis Winston.
Fisher said the biggest
thing is he is looking for from
Francois is consistency and
taking advantage of the opportunities.
Henry will be a freshman in
the fall but enrolled early so
that he could take part in
spring practices. There is a
chance he will be redshirted
and run the scout team like
Francois did last year, but
Fisher wants to see what he
can do first.
Fisher said the main thing
he is looking for from Henry is
to “fit in, take care of the ball
and show a presence and poise
in the huddle.”
The coach knows how
Maguire fits in, but said having the quarterback miss
snaps in the spring is tough
because of how much progress
Maguire has made in a year.
Last spring Maguire came
into drills as the favorite to
replace Winston but struggled, which opened the door
for Everett Golson play as a
graduate transfer.
Golson had control of the
position the first half of the
season before being plagued
with turnovers, which led to
him leaving Notre Dame. That
opened the door for Maguire,
who started five of the last six.
“He was a leader for our
team,” Fisher said of Maguire,
“so anytime he is not out there
it’s not good for him, and it’s
not good for us because the
more reps the better he gets.”

Trump: Time to rally around me — or expect voter riots
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — After yet
another round of convincing victories for Donald Trump,
Republican leaders spent
Wednesday wavering between
grudging acceptance
and deep denial about
the businessman’s likely ascent to the GOP
presidential nomination. An emboldened
Trump warned if the
party tried to block
him, “You’d have riots.”
With at least three Trump
more states in his win
column, Trump is now
the only candidate with a path to
clinching the Republican nomination before the party’s convention in July. But he still must do
better in upcoming contests to
get the necessary 1,237 delegates, leaving some opponents
with a sliver of hope he can still
be stopped.
“I still think it’s a very realistic chance that nobody’s going to
have a majority of the delegates,”
said Henry Barbour, a senior
Republican National Committee
member who worked
on Marco Rubio’s delegate strategy until the
Florida senator exited
the race Tuesday.
Barbour said Trump
“doesn’t deserve to be
president,” but also
said he could ultimately support the billionaire if he “can convince
me that he’s presidential material.”
Trump cautioned his supporters would revolt if he falls just
short in the delegate count and
loses in a rules fight.
“If you just disenfranchise
these people, I think you would
have problems like you’ve never
seen before,” Trump said on
CNN’s “New Day.”
Despite the deep concerns
about Trump within the
Republican Party, there was little tangible action Wednesday
that indicated a way to stop the
real estate mogul’s march
toward the general election.
There was no rush among
party leaders or donors to
coalesce around Ted Cruz, the
only candidate in the race with
even a long-shot chance of overtaking Trump in the delegate
count. A small group of conservatives moved forward with
plans to meet today to discuss
the prospect of rallying behind a
third-party option, but no candidate had been identified to lead
that effort.
The three best-financed
efforts to stop Trump abruptly

Former House Speaker John
Boehner floated his successor,
Paul Ryan, as the nominee in
the event of a convention fight.
But Ryan quickly took himself
out of the mix, saying through a
spokeswoman he would “not

Want to help?
Putnam Habitat for
Humanity had a stellar year
in 2015, helping repair dozens
of local homes and using
grant-based programs to help
people in need, Habitat officials said.
Putnam Habitat Executive
Director Ramicah Johnson
said in a statement the group
last year brought the number
of emergency and critical
home repairs to 63, for a total
cost of $37,545.
With more than 1,400 affiliates within the United States
and 70 organizations around
the world, Habitat for
Humanity is a Christian ministry that builds and repairs
homes for people in need,
regardless of religion.
According to habitat.org,
the international organization
has helped 6.8 million people
“improve their living conditions” since the group’s founding in 1976.
Locally, Putnam Habitat
utilizes two programs
– Putnam Service Project and
Putnam Service Project for
Veterans – to provide repairs
to local residents’ homes,
according to a statement.
“The local affiliate’s repair
program, know as the Putnam
Service Project, began in 2011
and quickly became the largest Habitat affiliate home
repair program in Florida

among 60 active Habitat organizations,” Putnam Habitat
officials said in a statement.
Putnam Habitat uses the
veterans project through funding from the Frank V. Oliver
Fund through the Community
Foundation for Northeast
Florida.
Both Putnam Services initiatives are limited to less
than $1,000 for emergency
and critical repairs. The average amount spent per household in 2015 was $595, officials said.
“Both programs are grantbased and do not require payback from the homeowner,”
Putnam Habitat officials said
in a statement. “Prospective
households must be income
qualified, and the programs
include repairs to mobile
homes.”
Putnam Habitat also prequalifies homeowners for U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s
504 home repair program,
which can facilitate thousands
of dollars in repairs and is
available via grants and lowinterest loans.

Social Media Doesn’t Affect Most Purchase Decisions
According to a Gallup poll - company sponsored facebook pages and twitter feeds have almost no persuasive power.
Just Being Social
Businesses are looking more critically at social media and its influence on the bottom line. A majority of
respondents in a Gallup survey said that social media had no influence at all on purchasing decisions.

Special to the Daily News
he Putnam County Library System
wraps up its two-part speaker series
for Black and Women’s History
Months 6 p.m. Friday. The event is
at the Palatka library, 601 College Road.
Featured speaker is Chautauqua performer, Phyllis McEwen, who will portray
Civil Rights leader, Zora Neale Hurston.
“One part actor, one part scholar, the
Chautauqua performer is a historical
interpreter and live performer who often
spends years researching a character,”
said Jeremy Yates, special projects coordinator for the library system. “Not only
do they look like the person, they speak
in the character’s voice. For those willing
to suspend a little disbelief, the
Chautauqua performer transports you
back in time and gives you the opportunity to ask questions and engage with the
historical figure as if they were actually
there."
"It’s a great learning experience,” said
Stella Brown, reference administrator.
After Hurston's character departs,
McEwen will answer questions regarding
her research. Refreshments will be pro-
vided. The event is sponsored by the
Putnam County Library Board Inc. and
funded by events such as the annual
Used Book Sale, which this year is set
for April 9-23 at the headquarters
Palatka library.
Hurston (1891-1960) was an American
novelist, short story writer, folklorist
and anthropologist, according to a news
release from the library. Of Hurston's
four novels and more than 50 published
short stories, plays and essays, she is
best known for her 1937 novel, "Their
Eyes Were Watching God."
McEwen is an independent scholar and
poet, who frequently portrays Hurston.
A Tampa native, she is a public librarian and an instructor in the Department
of Africana Studies at the University of
South Florida. She also co-founded the
Black Madonna Artists Collective and
has been artist-in-residence at the
Atlantic Colony for the Arts in New
Smyrna Beach and Escape to Create in
Seaside.

Sound
All the sound effects will be done live by
the actors. “They're creating them with a
variety of sound effect props that Rob has
provided,” Crotty said. “It's not recorded,
and it’s fun for the audience to experience
not just hearing the sound effect, but actually seeing it created.”
Lighting
Searcy Holley, from Tallahassee, is
grateful for the rare opportunity he has
received from The Actors’ Project. "For this
show, I have to design the atmosphere and
how each scene is going to look visually for
the audience, he said. When asked if that’s
challenging," he said, “Very much so,
because this is my very first collegiate
lighting design. Since it's an arena theater,
I have to design it in a way that people can
see on all four sides of the actor, which is
different from doing it on a main stage.”
the detail in the very much dream-like
state of the play.” Explaining that “The
Actor’s Nightmare” is so appropriately
named, Vaughn said, “You don't know
what play you're in, you don't know what
role you’re playing, and there's a lot of different plays within this one play.” The costumes are aligned with the period in which
the plays are set, and for the color scheme,
Vaughn said she’s “drawing from a lot of
rich blues and greens and little pops of
red,” as best she can.
Vaughn talked as she reworked a
Renaissance dress, adding that what’s
most rewarding for her about this process
is “finding ways to make something work
if it didn't initially.” She also enjoys all the
new things she has learned within her costume-design studies, such as wig ventilating – constructing wigs – and moustaches,
too.
Traditional and Absurd Setting
Student Anthony Antunez, a secondyear student from Miami, is wearing several hats for this performance. He’s one of
