Putnam charter schools buck state trends of closures Trend started 13 years ago in county with reading center BY ASIA AIKINS Palatka Daily News A growing number of Florida families are choosing charter schools for their children’s education each year. According to the state Department of Education, the number of state-funded charter schools has grown to more than 640 during the last 20 years, with student enrollment topping 251,000 students. Charter schools earn their name through an agreement with a local district — a charter.

We have the authority to intervene if we have to, but we hope to just learn more about what’s been going on.” — Putnam County School Board Chairman David Buckles about the school board requesting information from Putnam EDGE High School. School officials admit they have had trouble paying bills the past few months. “She was more pleasant than I thought she would be. It seems like she’s developed. She’s maturing. She’s making better decisions.” — Psychologist Stephen Bloomfield about Morgan Leppert, who was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison as a 16-year-old. Leppert is undergoing resentencing hearings after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling cast doubt on life sentences for those younger than 18. “I am really proud of these young men. They have worked hard in training. ... I told them to have fun and good luck.” — Carolyn Brantley about Edgar and Roger Klein, Darin Homer and Scott Savel participating in the Special Olympics National Unified Bowling Tournament. “I think this evening was a true example of how public and private entities can work together. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could do this across the country?” — Riverfront Development Group Manager Corky Diamond after Palatka city commissioners unanimously agreed to a compromise that would not force Diamond and his company to secure an irrevocable letter of credit before work continued on the 100 block. “I just want you to get ’er done.” — Palatka Mayor Terrill Hill about continued work on the 100 block redevelopment. “(Autism spectrum disorder) presents itself differently with every child. We deal with behavior issues regularly, but it’s important our teachers understand the cause of the behavior and be respectful ... so that each child can be successful, regardless of what’s causing the issue.” — Moseley Elementary School Principal Ashley McCool, whose school was recently awarded a Partnership for Effective Programs for Students with Autism grant through the state Center for Autism and Related Disabilities. “If you don’t have a concealed weapon (permit), you can apply for one in (the Palatka) office. Now, we can’t issue it then, because we have to issue a background check. The Department of Agriculture still does that work. All we’re doing is streamlining the application process (and) streamlining the fingerprints.” — Putnam County Tax Collector Linda Myers about her office now allowing residents to apply for concealed weapons permits without leaving Putnam County. “We want to make sure that all money is spent correctly and spent for the students. It’s really unfortunate that across our nation today, people think ... they can take money. It’s just a sad state of affairs.” — Putnam County School District Superintendent Phyllis Criswell about a recent audit that showed 15 of 18 Putnam County schools had auditing problems.

TOM WOOD, CHAIRMAN DINK NESMITH, PRESIDENT 030116a4.indd 1 Some thoughts about Putnam as it was, as it is and as it should be I live in East Palatka, which incidentally, is showing the only smattering of growth in the county. I drive over Memorial Bridge quite often, and being an old Chamber of Commerce director, I try to visualize how outsiders see Palatka from that approach. Beirut comes to mind, just after a car-sized bomb has exploded. A review of the past five years uncovers a plethora of poor planning by multiple agencies. That first block is an abomination. Whatever the current project turns out to be, it should be finished post-haste. Regardless of its early critics, the bicentennial tower clock is the riverfront’s redeeming feature, and there wasn’t a dime of tax money used to erect it. The oak trees planted in the parking lot are attractive, but they grow fast and soon will hide the view of the river, Palatka’s best feature. When those trees grow larger, the city might have to hire extra maintenance personnel just to rake leaves. It makes a case for evergreens. The grand avenue bicycle path through Palatka and across the bridge has been there over a year now and has proven to be a poor use of taxpayers’ money. All the proof one needs is to count the invisible bicyclers. The $150 million spent on that project, just through Palatka, would have built a fine school and staffed it. Anyone who has actually used the walkway that goes under the bridge, hold up your hand. Now wave at that other person whose hand went up. Palatka’s city fathers, and mother, should bite the bullet and nix the proposed water taxi idea. There are two chances of it being successful — little and none. Sorry to disappoint my longtime friend Mary Lawson Brown, but that’s just the way the old ball bounces. Yes, I know much of the funds are from a grant, but it is still taxpayers’ money. The big cost to Palatka will come later. When I served as chairman of the adver- mostly unused.

I can attest that sometimes such funds go by planting a super pine tree in the greenawry. Back in the 1970s, I asked Sen.

The money was to be grow for years, but it seems to have disappeared amid the “improvements” around the retained in the county and used specifically to improve fish habitat in our lakes and city docks.

Court throws out charges in attempted self-abortion By Travis Loller Associated Press MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — A Tennessee woman accused of trying to end her pregnancy with a coat hanger will not face attempted murder charges, her attorney said Monday. Anna Yocca was charged with attempted first-degree murder when she was arrested in Murfreesboro in December. According to police, Yocca filled a bathtub with water and attempted to self-abort last September. After she began bleeding, her boyfriend took her to a hospital where doctors delivered a 24-week-old, 1.5pound boy. Doctors said the child will need medical support for the rest of his life because of the injuries he sustained. He is in state custody. Public Defender Gerald Melton had asked the judge to dismiss the charge against Yocca, arguing that state law doesn’t allow a pregnant woman to be charged with murdering her own fetus. Palatka Area Students of the Month Christine F. Cheshire In court on Monday, Melton said the prosecutor in the case has agreed to bring a new indictment against Yocca before the grand jury next week. Melton told reporters outside the courtroom he anticipates the new charge will be aggravated assault. “We’re now in more realistic legal territory,” Melton said. SCOTT J.

Thomas asks first questions in 10 years By Sam Hananel Associated Press WASHINGTON — Justice Clarence Thomas broke 10 years of courtroom silence Monday and posed questions during a Supreme Court oral argument, provoking gasps from the audience. And it wasn’t just one question; it was a string of them in an exchange that lasted several minutes. It was only the second week the court has heard arguments since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, Thomas’ friend and fellow conservative, whom he’d sat next to for seven years. Scalia was famous for aggressive and sometimes combative questions from the bench. His chair is now draped in black in observance of his Feb. 13 death. Thomas’ gravelly voice unexpectedly filled the courtroom and enlivened an otherwise sleepy argument about g un r i g h t s . H e p e p p e r e d Justice Department lawyer Ilana Eisenstein, who was trying to wind up her argument, with 10 or so questions that seemed to be a vigorous defense of the constitutional right to own a gun. “Ms. Eisenstein, one question,” Thomas said. “This is a misdemeanor violation. It suspends a constitutional right. Can you give me another area where a misdemeanor violation suspends a constitutional right?” Until then, it had been business as usual for the first 50 minutes of the hourlong session in Voisine v. United States. The court was consid- PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of public hearing for local and national historic designation for Bethel A.M.E. Church, 710 Reid St., Palatka, FL.

None of the other justices visibly reacted to Thomas’ remarks. Eisenstein noted that violating other laws can, in some cases, limit a person’s freespeech rights under the First Amendment. “OK,” Thomas said. “So can you think of a First Amendment suspension or a suspension of a First Amendment right that is permanent?” It was a topic no other justice had asked about. And his comments came after several of the other justices seemed to favor the government’s position that the law applies whether the abuse is intentional or reckless. Thomas last asked a question in court on Feb. 22, 2006, and his unusual silence over the years has become a curiosity. Every other justice regu- larly poses questions from the bench. Thomas has come under criticism for his silence from some who say he is neglecting his duties as a justice. He has said he relies on the written briefs in a case and doesn’t need to ask questions of the lawyers appearing in court. Carrie Severino, a former clerk to Thomas who now heads a conservative advocacy group, said the justice had kept his silence “because he felt that oral arguments have become less civil and respectful of the attorneys and their arguments over the past two decades, often becoming little more than rhetorical jousting among the justices.” 1-DAY ONLY SALE Friday, March 11, 2016 8AM-5PM BUSINESS LAW Breach of Contract Exit Strategies Corporate Formation Commercial Leases Partnership Agreements (386) 328-6000 DHClawyers.com 601 St. Johns Avenue Palatka, FL 32177 Take 20% Off ANY ECHO, Shindaiwa or ECHO Bear Cat Units* *20% off MSRP discount applies to all ECHO, Shindaiwa and ECHO Bear Cat units on the day of the dealer sales event only.

AUGUSTINE Super Tuesday primaries could cement his domination of Republican presidential race Associated Press South, while Trump mocked them in Radford, Va. At one point, Trump was interrupted while he was talking about illegal immigration. “Are you from Mexico?” he shouted from the stage. Several minutes of shouting and booing ensued. The crowd hooted, and Trump briefly quieted them. Then, he looked in front of the stage and asked a woman, “You have a problem? Get her out.” At another point, he was interrupted by 20 or more protesters chanting “Black lives matter” and other slogans. They, too, were escorted out, shouting all the way. Trump won three of four early voting states, roiling a party divided over the prospect of the brash billionaire becoming its nominee. Cruz warned the “Trump train” could become “unstoppable” if he rolls to big victories today. Cruz cast his rival as a carbon copy of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton and suggested not even Trump “knows what he would do” as president. Florida Sen. Rubio picked up Monday where he left off over the weekend, dogging the GOP front-runner for not disavowing Sunday a white supremacist and the Ku Klux Klan. Rubio said Trump’s decision not to denounce the public support of former KKK leader David Duke disqualifies him from the nomination by “the party of Lincoln.” Trump told NBC’s “Today” on Monday he did not hear or understand the question Sunday on CNN when he was asked about Duke and the KKK, blaming a “very bad earpiece.” such as custody or abandonment,” Lelis said. “With a unified court, the judge becomes familcontinued from PAge 1A iar with the families.

Rick Scott was given a short list of six candidates by a judicial review board to replace retired Judge David Walsh, who served in the St. Johns County courthouse. Scott has 60 days to appoint the position, which is expected in mid- to late April. LEESBURG, Va. — Donald Trump’s challengers struggled Monday to stop him before he becomes “unstoppable,” one day before Super Tuesday primaries that could cement his domination of the Republican presidential race. Trump himself strained to shout down protesters at his own rally.

The center opened in August 2003 at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Palatka with a budget of about $585,793, Melosh said.

Officers said after the chase and arrest of Ashley, they recovered a jacket with the stolen handgun. The report said the handgun was an agency-issued firearm that was stolen from Putnam County Sheriff’s Office corrections officer Michael Pinner. Sheriff’s Office Capt. Joe Wells said the firearm was stolen out of Pinner’s unlocked vehicle. A sheriff’s office report said the firearm was stolen sometime between Jan. 12 and 14. Wells said the incident triggered an internal investigation. “(Pinner) was found in violation of policy because the vehicle was unlocked,” Wells said. Wells said Pinner served a two-day suspension, six months disciplinary probation and a written reprimand that would stay in his permanent file. Wells said there were no other reports of Pinner, an employee with the sheriff’s office since 2004, mishandling firearms. Wells said Pinner is a sergeant at the Putnam County Jail and has six previous disciplinary actions with suspensions totaling 128 hours. Wells said because the firearm was recovered, the investigation will reopen to determine if Ashley stole the handgun or if he acquired it later.

A new exhibit at the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum called “Wrecked!” will display artifacts collected from a ship evacuated by British war refugees in 1782. The British loyalists were seeking a new life in St. Augustine when their ship sank, leaving behind hundreds of items including muskets, the ship’s bell, cookware and other items from everyday life. The wreck was discovered in 2009. The exhibit opens May 5. DELTONA 3 girls charged with putting red pepper in teacher’s soda Three 12-year-old girls are facing charges after they allegedly poured red pepper into a middle school teacher’s soft drink. The three girls were arrested Friday night. Volusia County sheriff’s spokesman Gary Davidson said one of the girls was angry because teacher Jayne Morgan disciplined her Monday. The next day, she brought the crushed red pepper from home and grabbed Morgan’s open can of soda. Davidson said a second girl poured the pepper into the can while the third girl distracted Morgan. When Morgan took a drink, she began choking and experienced shortness of breath. She discovered the pepper flakes when she poured the soda into a clear cup. amerritt@palatkadailynews.com NAPLES programs and state education funding for the number of fulltime-equivalent students. Because of this, schools are subject to state evaluations and students must take standardized tests. While the local school district is responsible for oversight of charter schools’ finances, it has no hand in daily operation. School founders, usually a nonprofit organization, determine daily operation and curriculums. According to a recent Associated Press analysis, charter schools received more than $760 million from state taxpayers since 2000, including schools in 30 districts that are now closed for various reasons. A November 2014 education department document lists 282 closed charter schools since 1998. The taxpayer money that once funded the closed schools would not be recovered. While school districts, including Putnam County School District, and taxpayers are collectively asking for more charter school oversight, Putnam is currently 3-for-3 on establishing successful charter schools. Putnam Academy of Arts and Sciences opened in 2012, offering sixth and seventh grades. The founding members included Palatka High School teachers Elisabeth Virnstein, Diana Lotta, Rhona Scoville, Joyce Baron and Carla Aycock. “The founding teachers were concerned with the fact that many students were ill-prepared for high school,” principal Curtis Ellis said. “The sole purpose of Putnam Academy is to adequately prepare middle school students for high school and beyond.” Putnam EDGE High School charged with armed burglary, resisting without violence, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, carrying a concealed firearm by a convicted felon, resisting without violence, grand theft of a firearm and possession of burglary tools. He was also charged with three counts of probation violation. Ashley was taken to the Putnam County Jail and held without bond. The juvenile was charged with armed burglary, resisting to trial for charges such as burwithout violence and possession glary. of burglary tools. He was taken amerritt@palatkadailynews.com to the juvenile detention center in Gainesville. Wells said the juvenile was recently released from the juvenile detention center in Gainesville following a Feb. 25 arrest and charges for vehicle theft. Wells said the juvenile justice department could hold a minor for no more than 21 days prior Woman injured, car destroyed in e-cigarette explosion opened in 2013, offering ninth grade. According to school Administrator Lisa Parsons, 19 Putnam leaders visited a New Tech school in Texas in 2010 and decided to work toward creating a project-based learning environment with real world standards. “Students and parents are happy,” Parsons said of EDGE’s success. “We will continue to strive to improve on instructional practices that will increase student performance.” EDGE hopes to expand to its own building before the 20162017 school year, as the other charter schools have already done. If the expansion is successful, Putnam County will have its first class of high school graduates from a charter school. A Florida woman said an e-cigarette exploded as she took a puff, knocking her teeth loose and catching her rental car on fire. Cassandra Koziol said she parked her car outside a friend’s house Thursday night to use the e-cigarette and charge her car. She said when she pressed the device’s button, it exploded, loosening her teeth and flying from her hand. Covered in blood, she ran into the house and asked her friends to call 911. When they went outside, the car was engulfed in flames. ORLANDO Body of vacationer found in Florida lake The body of a 76-year-old Wisconsin man was found in a Central Florida lake.

Robl lived in Pickett, Wis., but wintered in Florida. TALLAHASSEE Jobs chief: Florida could lose out on jobs aaikins@palatkadailynews.com The head of Florida’s economic development agency is warning the state could lose out on 50,000 jobs due to the Legislature. Bill Johnson, president and CEO of Enterprise Florida, made that prediction in an email he sent Saturday to business partners statewide. Legislative leaders late Friday announced they were rejecting Gov. Rick Scott’s proposal to set aside $250 million to lure new businesses to Florida. Picture Brought to you by Day of the IGNITE!

In arguably the best NBA game of the year, Stephen Curry, en route to a second straight NBA Most Valuable Player, drills a 32-footer with less than a second to go in overtime to finish with 46 points – 36 of which come on his 12 3-point field goals – to lift the Golden State Warriors to a 121-118 overtime win over the host Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, improving to a leaguebest 53-5. Our topic of discussion: 1. A memorable back-and-forth game. Simply stated, it would be hard to top what was seen by millions on television and live in Oklahoma City on Saturday night. On their home court, coach Billy Donovan’s Thunder pushed the Warriors as far they could be pushed, had them beat late in regulation until a silly foul sent Andre Iguodala to the free-throw line to hit both free throws to tie it up, sending it to overtime. Then with 33.9 seconds left in the overtime, the Thunder held a 118-115 lead when Klay Thompson hit a layup, was fouled, and finished the conventional three-point play to tie things up. When Russell Westbrook missed a jumper at the other end, Iguodala rebounded and got the ball to Curry. The Warriors had a timeout to call, but Curry decided to take matters into his own hands and like he’d done so many times before this season, he drilled a 32-footer with just six-tenths of a second left to pull out the victory. NBA players Tweeted out their amazement. Thunder fans were left with jaws dropped. And even the Thunder bench knew the moment Curry let the ball leave his hands from really far out behind the arc they were about to fall behind for the last time. It’s not that the Warriors are winning games at a record pace. They are 53-5 and looking to knock off the 72-10 mark the Chicago Bulls established in the 1996-97 season as the best in league history. It’s the way they are doing it with each player taking a role and helping their mates in case someone has a bad day. In the middle of that is the soon-tobe 28-year-old Curry, the son of former NBA sharpshooter Dell Curry, and who first made a name for himself by nearly shooting Davidson in to the 2008 NCAA Final Four before eventual champion Kansas sent them home in the Elite 8. Curry was MVP last year, and unless he develops a Superman-like kryptonite issue, he’s going to win for the second straight year. SPORTS TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 2016 Tenacious twins first Ram wrestlers to state Palatka Daily News Each positioned for a breakdown, Lance and Logan Hastings persevered on a breakthrough weekend for Interlachen wrestling. Lance Hastings lost his first match, but came back to win the rest for third place in the 195pound weight class in the Region 2-1A meet at Eastern Florida State College in Titusville. Logan bounced back from a semifinal loss to finish fourth in the 182-pound class. Thus the twins became the first Rams to qualify for state since Interlachen revived its wrestling program five years ago. The tournament is March 4-5 at the Silver Spurs Rodeo Arena in Kissimmee. Seeded first as a district champion, Lance Hastings (41-4) drew a first-round bye that might have and pinned his next man before losing to a Lake Highland Prep wrestler in the third round. He then worked his way back through the consolation rounds with a 4-3 win and a pinfall. Interlachen placed 14th out of 29 teams on the strength of the twins’ performances. The Rams had two other competitors – 132-pound sophomore Cade Mason and 170-pound freshman Julian Rivera – and while both went 0-2, Borgus said both turned in fine performances. Palatka sent more wrestlers to the 2-1A meet but failed to get any of them to state, finishing 18th in the team standings. Senior Dean Lowe came painfully close to qualifying in the 126-pound class, losing on an overtime takedown Special to the Palatka Daily News in the consolation semifinals. He was Lance, left, and Logan Hastings emerged from regional qualifying in Titusville. 2-2 for the weekend. “It’s twice in the last two years we had someone on the edge and they backfired in a second-round loss. roared back and pinned the next couldn’t make it,” said PHS coach “I think it hurt him because he lost three guys.” Josh White. to a kid he should have beaten,” said Logan Hastings scored a 4-2 deciSee WRESTLING, Page 6B IHS coach Craig Borgus. “But he sion in the first round at 182 pounds Florida’s February freefall Strong Start Gators on the verge of more March sadness By Mark Long Associated Press ANDY HALL / Palatka Daily News Pictured warming up during a Feb. 20 game, Hunter Jones had his best start of the year Saturday. Winners Walk Another triumph in last at-bat pushes Vikings to 19-4 T By Andy Hall Palatka Daily News he St. Johns River State College baseball team has found its way to a 19-4 record entering conference play, largely because of its ability to find a way when down to its last at-bat. One could argue that East Georgia State College reliever Payton Phillips found the way for the Vikings with a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the seventh on Saturday, but the bottom line was a 4-3 victory at Tindall Field, their second on a day that began with an 8-0 defeat of the Rollins College junior varsity. The one-out walk to Omar Villaman brought home pinch-runner Jordan Kennedy for St. Johns’ sixth win in its final at-bat over the last three weeks. The Vikings trailed 3-0 going to the bottom of the sixth when Villaman drew a leadoff walk and came around as Wes Weeks lined a 3-1 pitch out to left center to make it a one-run game. It was only the third hit of the day off Bobcats starter Cole Pittman. They turned to Phillips (2-1) to close the door in the seventh and he hit Hunter Alexander with his first pitch. Harlan Harris drew a one-out walk and pinch-hitter Nick Koslowski lined a single to right, scoring Alexander and leaving runners on the corners. An intentional walk to Cole Perry loaded the bases, then Phillips was high to on a 3-1 pitch Villaman to score Kennedy, who was running for Harris. The win was as tough as SJR State coach Ross Jones expected it to be with Pittman going for East Georgia.

The Gators have lost three in TONIGHT a row for the first time in more Kentucky than a year and at Florida, are on the verge ESPN, 7:00 of playing themselves out of the N C A A Tournament for the second straight season. Although coach Mike White’s team can always win the Southeastern Conference Tournament next week in Nashville and lock up an automatic berth in the 68-team NCAA field, no one who has seen the Gators (17-12, 8-8 SEC) struggle down the stretch would even consider that a realistic possibility. So Florida’s best bet at bolstering its NCAA Tournament resume comes tonight against No. 22 Kentucky (218, 11-5). It’s Florida’s home finale as well as Senior Night for leading scorer Dorian Finney-Smith. More importantly, it’s a chance for the Gators to get back on the winning track after a futile February. “It’s huge,” White said Monday. “We’ve squandered some opportunities, and this is one of the last few we’ll have. Obviously, this is a big, big opportunity for our guys to overcome some mistakes and failures. It’ll be a very, very difficult game to win, but if we play very well — we’re at home — we should have our chances.” Indeed, the Gators are 12-3 in the O’Connell Center this season, but have lost two in a row there. So even home-court advantage in Gainesville is not quite the sure thing is seemed earlier this season. More problematic for the Gators, their once-reliable defense has been shaky at best in recent weeks, culminating with giving up a combined 183 points the last two games.

Five of the first six Panthers singled, leading to three runs in the first inning of a 5-4 victory at Brooksville Hernando, completing a 3-0 week. Palatka added single runs in the third and fourth innings and held on to take a 5-1 record into tonight’s District 5-5A game with P.K. Yonge at the Azalea Bowl. Brent Summers singled to start Saturday’s nondistrict game and the Panthers put together four straight one-out hits – one each by Austin Langston, Cody Mills, Josh Reynolds and Clayton Faircloth. It would be the beginning of a 2-for-4, two-RBI day for Langston. Faircloth went 2-3 and J.C. Conner added a single for Palatka. “The guys played good,” said PHS coach Alan Rick. “I was happy with the game. It was good to go down to the Tampa area and come out with a win.” See ROUNDUP, Page 6B 2/29/16 11:36 PM 2 B • PA L AT K A DA I LY N E W S • T U E S DAY, M A R C H 1 , 2 0 1 6 SCOREBOARD TODAY ON TELEVISION CALENDAR NOTE: Schedules are submitted by schools, leagues and recreation departments and are subject to change without notice.

COLLEGE Associated Press BRADENTON — Jim Harbaugh basked in the sun Monday, spending six hours on the practice field with his Michigan Wolverines. “It just flew by,” the coach said. Then the players hit the beach. Back home in Ann Arbor, Mich., it was cloudy and gray, temperatures were in the 40s and the locals were preparing for snow. Michigan held the first of four scheduled practices Monday at the IMG Academy under a blue sky with feathery clouds that provided pleasant cover from the sun. The players worked out for four hours in 70-degree temperatures, with about half the team going from 8 a.m. to noon and the rest working from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Wolverines’ trip is the latest way Harbaugh is drawing attention for Michigan while tweaking some opponents. Last year it was an extensive tour of the south, holding satellite camps for prospects on the campuses of high schools and colleges. This year Harbaugh turned signing day into an extravaganza, starring Tom Brady and Derek Jeter. The spring trip has drawn criticism from Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey and Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford because it falls during spring break, when players usually have off. NCAA is in the process of trying to find ways to give college athletes more time away from their sports. “It can certainly be asserted that it’s inconsistent with some of the conversations about time demands,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, who is also the chairman of the new NCAA football oversight committee, said recently about Michigan’s week in Florida. “Right now there’s no rule that prohibits that. My guess is there will be a lot of conversation about it in the coming months.” Is Harbaugh concerned about the backlash? “No … You got your headline now?” The coach also does not get all the fuss about the Wolverines being snowbirds while school is on break. “I don’t know why,” he said. “Our tennis team will be hitting balls here next week.” IMG Academy is a boarding FLORIDA LOTTERY 030116b2.indd 1 SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY MIDDAY CASH 3 0-1-3 CASH 3 2-4-4 CASH 3 0-5-2 school that trains elite athletes from all over the country, including football players. The IMG football team has 20 players who last week were offered scholarships by Tennessee. Michigan cannot recruit while on campus. The Wolverines are using IMG’s field house as their headquarters this week. The building is used by several IMG teams, but football cleared out to make room for Michigan— and to ensure no inadvertent impermissible contact is made. “I don’t know that there is one,” Harbaugh said when asked about the possible recruiting advantages of the trip. Harbaugh has said practicing during spring break gives his players extra time to focus on academics. They won’t be practicing during midterms now. He also looks at it as an opportunity for the players to bond. “You ever seen the movie “Remember the Titans?” Check that out,” Harbaugh said. “Take a look at that. We’re going to watch it tonight as team. Team building, Team development. Getting to know each other better.” EVENING 5-5-6 4-5-1 4-4-3 SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY PLAY 4 PLAY 4 PLAY 4 MIDDAY 3-5-6-5 4-1-2-5 1-5-3-6 MEN’S POLL The top 25 teams in The Associated Press’ college basketball poll, with first-place votes in parentheses, records through Feb. 28, total points based on 25 points for a first-place vote through one point for a 25thplace vote and previous ranking: Record PtsPrv 25-4 1,623 2 1.

The Wolverines won 10 games last season, their first under the former Michigan quarterback. A few weeks ago, Harbaugh signed one of the top recruiting classes in the nation, including top prospect Rashan Gary, a defensive lineman from New Jersey. This spring Michigan needs to work on finding a new starting quarterback and replacing several key players from one of the best defenses in the country. Harbaugh is also breaking in a new defensive coordinator, Don Brown, whom he hired away from Boston College. This week in Florida, though, won’t be all work for the Wolverines. At least one more trip to the beach is planned. There will be bowling outings, mini-golf and Ping-Pong tournaments. On Wednesday, there is no practice and the team is scheduled to attend the Tigers-Pirates spring training game. Harbaugh is set to coach first base for an inning for the Tigers. Maybe for the Pirates, too. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle is a Michigan native.

Chandler Mullis pitched the first three innings, Hudson the last four for PHS. Colin Orr doubled for the Panthers and Justin Cameron, Cody Watson and Rudy Bostick hit RBI singles. Mason Sharp, Tre Keen and Travis Stanley all singled. BASEBALL MLB toughens up on chew AP Top 25 Basketball No big fuss over football trip for Wolverines By Ralph D. Russo Strong start powers Panthers Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz spit some chew into a bottle at his locker, then dipped into the latest notice from baseball. Big leaguers are now getting a written reminder that smokeless tobacco is banned at stadiums in Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles. One-page letters are being put in clubhouse stalls throughout spring training, where there is no prohibition. The notes come jointly from Major League Baseball and the players’ union. So, will Buchholz quit? “That’ll probably happen,” he said. “If you get reprimanded for something, there comes a time where you’re tired of paying fines for something you don’t have to do or doesn’t make you any better.” “You’ve got to obey the rules or there’s consequences to it. We’ll probably learn more about that when we get up North,” he said at camp in Fort Myers. Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker was a big dipper for a long time. He’s cut back over the years, but still might pop in a pinch when games get tight. “It’s a bad influence for the kids. Big time. I’ll say that. But also they’re adults, too, at the same time,” Baker said. Andruw Jones joins Braves’ staff ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves are bringing back former 10-time Gold Glove center fielder Andruw Jones as a special assistant to baseball operations. Jones already was with the team as a guest instructor in spring training. Under the official capacity, he will focus on working with Braves outfielders. Jones, a native of Curacao, also will assist with the team’s international initiatives. Chipper Jones also returned to the team this year in a similar capacity. Andruw Jones, a five-time NL All-Star, won his string of Gold Gloves from 1998-2007. He set a Braves franchise record with 51 homers in 2005. The 38-year-old Jones played in Japan the last two years before retiring. The team announced last week Jones will be inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame this summer. GOLF PGA veteran has heart attack PALM BEACH GARDENS — Jason Bohn says he wanted to go back to his room to take a shower before going to the hospital with chest pains and didn’t realize he was having a major heart attack until paramedics at the Honda Classic put him on a stretcher and called for an ambulance. “So it was kind of a scary moment for me,” Bohn said Monday in an interview with SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio. “I didn’t realize what was happening. I just never thought at age 42 I’d be having a heart attack to the degree that I had one.” Bohn figured the chest pains were from bronchitis and pneumonia. He made the cut on Friday and then sought medical attention, and before long he was in an ambulance on his way to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. He told SiriusXM that his heart is pumping at a weak rate and suffered damage from the heart attack. Doctors told him his left anterior descending artery was 99 percent blocked. That’s known as the “widow maker” because a heart attack can lead to a sudden death. In that respect, Bohn says he was lucky to be alive. “My doctors all have told me that had I passed out or gone down on the golf course that they really don’t think they would have had time to get the proper blood thinners in me — and put the stent in that they were able to do — in time,” he said. “I got one hell of a mulligan. That’s all I can say.” COLLEGE BASKETBALL Kansas back on top of poll Kansas is back on top of the men’s college basketball poll by The Associated Press. Villanova had been No. 1 the past three weeks. The Jayhawks are 25-4 and were No. 1 for two weeks in January. On Monday, they were a runaway choice, receiving 63 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel. Michigan State is 24-5 and was No. 1 for a season-best four weeks. The Spartans drew the other two first-place votes. Villanova lost to Xavier last week and fell two spots to third. The Wildcats were followed in the top 10 by Virginia, Xavier, Oklahoma, Miami, North Carolina, Oregon and West Virginia. This is Oregon’s first appearance in the top 10 this season. California was ranked in three polls earlier this season and is the week’s only newcomer at No. 25. The Bears replace Notre Dame, which fell out from 23rd. – Staff, wire reports 11-12-14-23-34 4-22-23-29-30 8-11-28-35-36 SATURDAY LOTTO 1-12-25-43-44-51 XTRA 5 SATURDAY POWERBALL 10-11-21-22-53 PB 18 PP x 3 3/1/16 12:28 AM 3 B • PA L AT K A DA I LY N E W S • T U E S DAY, M A R C H 1 , 2 0 1 6 ADVICE BY HARRIETTE COLE CROSSWORD ACROSS 1 Playful bark 4 Hopper 7 Audit pros 11 High note 12 Troop group 14 Luau dance 15 Outfit 17 Iowa college town 18Kermit’sstreet 19 Blot out 21 Media mogul Turner 22 Foot part 23 Vetoed 26 Poltergeists 29 Even once 30 A Weasley twin 31 Wine festival mo. 33 Cure leather 34 Dressed 35 Subject, usually 36 Tortilla snacks 38 Cake-pan type 39 Afire 40Orchestra’s place 41 Pranks 44 Telescope parts 26 Mardi — 27 Saturday morning fare 28 Wind-driven spray 30 — and jetsam 32 Explosive letters 34 In vogue 35 Mad 37 Glasstouching sounds 48 Quarter, maybe 49 Night prowler (2 wds.) 51 Lama or friar 52 Medieval quaff 53 MPG watchdog 54 Skimps 55 Capone foe 56 Cotillion honoree 38 Humans, e.g. 40 From the Arctic 41 Summit 42 Secluded corner 43 Antler prong 45 Frosted 46 Billowing garment 47 Iffy attempt 50 Oahu welcome Bipolar friend challenges reader Saturday’s Answer DOWN 1 Poker cards 2 Actress Russo 3 Own (up) 4 Mooched 5 Retired (2 wds.) 6 Zilch 7 Rubs against 8 Mountain lion 9 Baldwin or Guinness 10 Postpaid encl. 13 Cut canines 16 Cafe customer 20 Grub 23 After taxes 24 John, in Siberia 25 Lawless role For Tuesday, March 1, 2016 You’ll need to show more discipline and courage if you want to take advantage of what’s available to you this year.

He admits he has some mental issues and says he is on medication, but I think he needs more. He’ll have wild mood swings, and I honestly cannot keep up. I know I have to be supportive of my friend when he’s having a panic attack, but I’m not licensed, and I don’t know how to help. I am not a medical professional, and I do not know anyone else with the same problems. I seem to have become his go-to friend whenever he is having a crisis. His girlfriend broke up with him, and I have become his impromptu counselor. I don’t want to distance myself because of my fear that he’ll do something drastic, but I really cannot be around anxious, panicking energy all the time. What should I do? — Not a Therapist, Baltimore Dear Not A Therapist: The kindest thing you can do is draw the line.

I want to go to the reunion, but I don’t want to partake in any drama. How do I get to at least a cordial place with my brother? Do I still attend the reunion? — Reuniting Doesn’t Feel So Good, New Mexico Dear Reuniting Doesn’t Feel So Good: The best thing you can do in this situation is to offer forgiveness. Start with forgiving yourself for being so judgmental of your brother. Perhaps he took the stand he did because he felt the man you were marrying was bad for you. Maybe he could have let you know differently, but his heart may have been in the right place — looking out for you. Forgive him for not supporting you in the way you felt you needed. Forgive each other for being distant for so long. With a heart of forgiveness, you can go to the family reunion feeling love and gratitude to be able to see your whole family, including your brother. Just give him a hug and sincerely choose to have a great time. BRIDGE (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Problems with friends, relatives and authority figures are prevalent.

You must keep your emotions in check at all times if you want to come out a winner. an appointment to see his doctor. If he refuses to get medical help, you should tell him you have to back away from him for now. Distancing yourself, as other loved ones have done, may help him to go to the professional who really can help him. Dear Harriette: This weekend, my family is having a reunion. I’m excited to see my extended family and all my cousins. However, I agreed to go before I found out some very important information. My brother is also attending this reunion. Six years ago, my brother didn’t respect my relationship at the time and refused to walk me down the aisle. Our dad had passed away two years prior to my wedding, so I was devastated at his rejection. Even though the guy and I didn’t work out in the end, I feel as though my brother still could’ve supported me. It’s been years since I’ve seen him, and I’m not sure if I really want to. I already promised my mom I would be there. Plus, I know how much it would mean to her to have both of Eric Hoffer, a philosopher and author who died in 1983, said, “The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.” Many bridge players find the hardest arithmetic to master is counting winners and losers. Since the numbers are not that high, it shouldn’t be beyond anyone. It just requires a willingness to spend the time to do it. But anyone who succeeds becomes a tough player immediately. In today’s deal, how should South play in seven spades after West leads a trump? The auction suggests that the author was looking at all of the cards! However, as I mentioned yesterday, when you have a twosuiter and find a fit in the first suit you bid, upgrade your hand. Here, South should see the slam potential if North has both redsuit aces. But as Blackwood will not help, South starts with a four-club control-bid. Then, after three more control-bids confirm that North does have those two aces, South leaps majestically to the grand slam. West, anticipating declarer’s need of ruffing winners, sensibly starts with a trump. (South must have a club void.) Declarer has six side-suit winners (five hearts and one diamond), so needs seven trump tricks: four winners on the board and three club ruffs in his hand. South takes the first trick on the board and ruffs a club high. He continues with a heart to the ace, another club ruff high, a diamond to the ace, and a third club ruff high. Then he draws trumps and claims. It is a textbook dummy reversal.

On Saturday, the Vikings outlasted Florence-Darlington of South Carolina, 11-6, before losing in nine innings to Florida SouthWestern College, 5-4. On Sunday, the Vikings Roundup CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B The second of four Palatka pitchers, Jacob Arnold (1-1) picked up the win. Tanner Tilton pitched the first two, then Arnold worked into the fifth before Mason Sharp took over with one out. Sharp got Vikings CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B “He gave up four hits in seven starts. We knew they were going to pitch him. He pitched his tail off,” said Jones, whose club begins its bid for its fourth straight Mid-Florida Conference championship Wednesday night with a visit from Seminole State. “That was a great guy to see and a great game to be in right before conference.” Pittman didn’t allow a hit until Weeks’ one-out single in the fourth. The Vikings got five shutout innings from Hunter Jones, the coach’s son, who struck out five and walked none in his strongest start of the season. He left after back-to-back hits to start the sixth, and the Wrestling CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Thought to be the Panthers’ other best bet to qualify for state, 132-pound senior Shade Ward struggled through a 1-2 tournament. Palatka got surprise wins from Bryan Smith (195 Gators CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B The effort was so amiss against Vanderbilt and LSU that White held a defense-only practice Sunday. “The emphasis had probably moved toward offense too much,” White said. “We’ve spent an inordinate amount of time shooting free throws, running dry offense by shooting a ton of jump shots, individual offense, skill development. … I guess it’s always a balancing act, and we’ve got to get back to defending at a high level to give ourselves a chance.” Compounding Florida’s issues, guards Chris Chiozza Blumenthal CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B were taken down by top-notch Indian River State College, 9-0, before bouncing back to beat Polk State, 6-1, to improve to 15-8. “We faced some better pitching,” Vikings coach Jill Semento said. “We found some things we need to work on, but we still hit other teams’ pitching. I still have a lot of hope going into our conference season. There’s a lot of consistency in our lineup. the Panthers to the seventh and Faircloth came on to get his first save. n Peniel Baptist Academy came up with two runs to get within one in the bottom of the sixth, but left the tying run at second and couldn’t get anything going in the seventh inning of an 8-7, District 3-2A loss to Warner Christian at the Francis Youth Complex. Bobcats had a 3-0 lead before closer Tyler Carr could get out of the inning. Carr (4-0) got the win with a scoreless seventh. “Hunter pitched great. He deserved better than a no-decision,” coach Jones said. “Their first four hits were just bleeders. This is a start he needed before conference.” Dalton Whitaker (1-2), Kennedy and Andrew Vaccacio combined on a two-hit shutout of the Rollins JV, striking out eight and walking none in a seven-inning game. Showing signs of emerging from a slump, Alexander homered, doubled and had three RBI to lead a 10-hit offense. Jimbo Reemsnyder was 2-3, Weeks 2-4, Weeks with two RBI and Reemsnyder with one. Perry had an RBI double. Nick Owens, Alec Dowell and Andrew Williamson all singled. pounds) and Jamar Danzler (152 pounds) before each was eliminated. Danzler was ahead in his last match before he was flipped and pinned. White was also encouraged by Austin Beauboeuf’s work at 138 pounds. “It was a disappointing weekend for us, but good for (the Hastings twins),” White said. and KeVaughn Allen have hit huge slumps. Chiozza has reached double figures just once in the last seven games, and Allen is shooting a measly 22.9 percent from 3-point range in February. Throw in the inconsistencies of Devin Robinson, Kasey Hill and Justin Leon, and the Gators have nothing to hang their hat on at this point in the season. The Gators could have more control of their postseason fate, but they lost games in February to Kentucky, Alabama, South Carolina, Vanderbilt and LSU. Florida’s Ratings Percentage Index — a key component in determining the NCAA Tournament field — suffered, too, falling to No. 46. but if it works, who are we to judge? Curry is averaging 30.6 points a game and Thompson, also the son of a former NBA standout, Mychal Thompson, is to the Warriors what Scottie Pippen was to the Bulls – a complement, in this case to Curry. The Thunder will be back and around for the postseason. And quietly, the San Antonio Spurs are having the greatest season in their franchise history at 50-9. However, no matter what the Spurs do, it’s being dwarfed by this high-flying circus act that’s going to be awfully tough to stop come the NBA Western Conference finals. Whoever comes out of the West will be favored to win it all. But judging by that amazing comeback Saturday night on national TV in Oklahoma City, the Warriors are a team you can’t hold down easily. That’s because the best player in the league is awfully tough to stop. Curry is the must-see player in the league these days. Not LeBron. Not Kevin Duran. Not Westbrook. Heck, not even Kobe in what is his final season. It is all about Curry. On Thursday night in Orlando, he put in 51 points. Curry has already broken his own record for 3-pointers made in a season, which he set last year at 286. He’s got 288 and the scary part ... he’s got 24 games left! At his current 5.1 3-point field goals made per game, we may be looking at him putting the record so out of reach that we will stand in amazement. And all this “hatin’” being done by the legendary Oscar Robertson is out of playing in a far different era. There were no 3-point lines in the 1960s and ‘70s and in that era, it was the big men like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) who dominated the game. You worked the game from the Mark Blumenthal is a writer for the Palatka Daily News. You can reach inside out.

Sydney Shows went 5-for-14 with an RBI. Savannah Montgomery went 3-for-12 with three runs and two RBI. Filling in for Kight, Grissom finished 3-for-8 with a run and an RBI. Chris Marasa, who improved to 7-2 on the mound this weekend, was 4-for-12 with three runs and two RBI. Leadoff hitter Amanda Peck went 3-for-10 at the plate with seven runs Kenyon Varner was 2-for-3 for the Warriors, who leveled off at 4-4 overall and in the district.

The Green Wave sent 15 to the plate against losing pitcher SOFTBALL Loris Molter. n Margaret Riecks struck The lone hit for the Raiders scored and two RBI. Stacy Wilson had a good weekend as well, going 4-for-8 with four RBI. Getting one hit each for the weekend were Kight, Alandra Resendes, Jordan Phillips, Shelby Hutto and Shelby Griffis. The Vikings will host PascoHernando in a doubleheader today. Semento said Kight will most likely miss the games with Grissom starting in her place. came from Sarah Hamling, a single in the fourth inning.

Palatka (1-10), which left eight runners on base, including twice with the bases loaded, saw Sam Shepherd, Shayla Echols and Kendell Moody each go 2-for-4 with Shepherd scoring a run. Lydia Gunn was 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI for the Panthers, while Kaleigh Vaught and Karlie Booth had one hit apiece, Vaught also driving in a run.
