Members of the K-9 unit worked with Putnam County Parks and Recreation to create obstacles for small and large dogs at the park. PCSO, Parks and Recreation partner to upgrade training facility BY ALLISON WATERS-MERRITT Palatka Daily News Putnam County’s only public dog park is getting new hurdles, fences and windows to jump over, around and through with a partnership between Putnam County Parks and Recreation and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office’s K-9 unit. Sheriff’s Office Lt. Scott Surrency, who oversees the K-9 unit, said the handlers use the dog park at Francis Youth Sports Complex off of St. Johns Avenue for training each week, but wanted to add obstacles for enhanced training. “The park is centrally located, and we came out here for training,” Surrency said. “We met with (Parks and Recreation See SCHOOL, Page 5A WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Abortion restrictions closer to being law Bill says public funds won’t be provided to Planned Parenthood Old Campbell Building appraised at $1.1 million Putnam County School District’s historic former office remains vacant after a year on the market. District officials moved to 200 Reid St. in March 2015, leaving behind its former quarters, a historic structure dating back to 1929. “It’s like night and day,” said Scott Gattschall, district facilities supervisor. “It’s like a quantam leap for the district to go from a 100-year-old building to a building that’s almost brand new.” The Campbell Building, 200 S. Seventh St. in Palatka, was once an elementary school, Gattschall said, and not set up for the district’s administrative needs. When the district purchased Smith Putnam County Sherriff’s Office Sgt. Scott Surrency puts together an obstacle at the dog park portion of Francis Ballpark. See PARK, Page 5A TALLAHASSEE — New restrictions on abortion in Florida won state House approval Thursday, including a provision aimed at preventing public money from going to Planned Parenthood affiliates. In contentious debate, supporters said the bill was aimed at protecting women’s health, but opponents said it’s an unconstitutional attempt to limit access to abortions and will end up in court, costing the state legal fees. House Bill 1411 passed on a 74-44 vote, mostly along party lines. A Senate companion bill has passed its committees and is ready for a floor vote. Some legislators on both sides say the bill may face more See ABORTION, Page 5A WHAT DO YOU THINK? What do you think about a House bill that offers new restrictions on abortions?

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

And as the school grows, so does the demand for extracurricular activities. “Last year, all together, we had 37-38 people in (a combined) band,” Wendell said. “This year, we went to 60. We expect 25-30 more next year, bringing our total to about 90 kids.” The school added a beginning band program this year to accommodate its youngest students, in addition to its jazz and concert INDEX Advice ............................. 3B Briefing ........................... 2A CHRIS DEVITTO/Palatka Daily News See BAND, Page 5A Classified/Legals ............ 4B Comics............................ 3B Horoscope ...................... 3B Lottery............................. 2B Q.I.

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

An error then occurred with his reserve chute.

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

B R YA N , E D I T O R sbryan@palatkadailynews.com 386-312-5231 OTHER VIEWS State agency should take leading role I n retrospect, it probably was unrealistic to believe the state Legislature would pass a bill this year mandating state police investigations of all officer-involved deaths — especially when key legislators aren’t even aware there’s a problem. Sen. Geraldine Thompson, D-Orlando, is sponsoring SB 810, which would require the state Department of Law Enforcement investigate any time an officer’s use of force results in someone’s death. More than two-thirds of law agencies in the state investigate their own officers’ shootings of civilians. Throughout Volusia and Flagler counties, though, the state law enforcement department is called in to investigate all such shootings. There aren’t even standards for compiling data. Thompson’s bill — and its companion in the House, HB 933, sponsored by Rep. Shevrin Jones, D-West Park — would give a more complete picture of the circumstances surrounding police use of force. Having an outside agency review all officerinvolved deaths also would bolster public confidence in the integrity of the investigations. Unfortunately, the Senate and House bills are still stuck in committees awaiting hearings, and the clock is ticking: The Legislature will adjourn March 11. It’s highly unlikely the measures would make it to floor votes before the final gavel sounds. The state law enforcement department has been a primary obstacle to progress. The agency’s analysis projected the bill would cost $1.6 million annually to pay for the additional 13 investigators needed, and the investigative process would take even longer than it already often does in these cases. The money, though, represents only 0.53 percent of the department’s total budget and 1.3 percent of what it spends for investigations and forensics. That’s a modest and worthwhile investment to ensure officer-involved deaths are properly vetted and individuals are held accountable for their actions. These roadblocks would be mere speed bumps if there were sufficient political will to drive the bills. The lack of urgency — and ignorance surrounding the issue — was glaringly illustrated by Sen. Greg Evers, R-Milton, chairman of the Criminal Justice Committee. When he said he was not sure whether the bill would be placed on the committee’s agenda, he also indicated he didn’t see a pressing need for the bill. He believed the state law enforcement department already kept track of officer-involved shootings. They don’t. If the committee chair is unaware of the situation, how many other lawmakers are in the dark? And of those, how many care? Clearly, improving the system must begin with educating decision-makers about its deficiencies. That can’t be accomplished in two weeks; it will require months of groundwork. If enough have their eyes open, they can push back against the state law enforcement department’s bureaucratic resistance and get legislation passed next year. — Daytona Beach News-Journal C O M M U N I T Y N E WS PA P E R S , I N C .

TOM WOOD, CHAIRMAN DINK NESMITH, PRESIDENT 030416a4.indd 1 Changes in gratitude, changes in attitude B ack in December, Princeton professor Robert P. George was in the hospital with heart trouble, and it did not sound good. At the time, I happened to be at a conference with many of his friends, colleagues and admirers. We prayed. We were not alone. Robby is one of those people who, like Justice Scalia, are irreplaceable. Our public and intellectual lives wouldn’t be the same without him. He’s long back at work now. And so I naturally thought of him during the controversy over clothing retailer Lands’ End and a profile of feminist icon Gloria Steinem that ran in its spring catalog — a profile that led to a massive outcry from customers and an apology from the company. In numerous interviews over the years, Steinem has said, “Gratitude never radicalized anybody.” Steinem’s comment stuck in my mind because it struck me as so very wrong. Gratitude can change everything radically. When Robert George found himself in the hospital with a life-threatening condition, he was overwhelmed with prayer. “People who were praying for me flooded my email box with messages,” he recalled. He got calls from Cardinal Timothy Dolan and a Mormon elder. He heard from ultraOrthodox Jews in New Jersey, historically black churches, Baptists, Presbyterians, Assemblies of God, evangelicals, Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans, Baha’is and Muslims who were praying for him, too. “My reaction to all of this was pure, unadulterated, overwhelming gratitude — gratitude to God,” George said, “not only for for oneself. The only truly sane way to live one’s life is for others. Radically.” Looking around and really, truly giving thanks — being overwhelmed by love. That’s the blessed place in which Robert George finds himself. I passed by him right before the Washington, D.C., funeral Mass for Justice Scalia, and I couldn’t help but be calmed by the presence of a man at peace. my survival, but for the good people who, Gratitude does that. moved by their devotion to Him, offered Peace.

People buy houses for $100 a square foot.” The Campbell Building is valued at more than $1.1 million, according to the Putnam County Property Appraiser’s website. According to Palatka Planning Director Thad Crowe, the building is located in the city’s South Historic District and expected to uphold historic preservation. “Exterior changes, new construction and site alterations are subject to review by (city) staff and the Historic Preservation Board,” Crowe said. While it has not sold, Gattschall said he has shown the building to about five groups interested in purchasing the building for various uses. “I think there’s federal grant money for historic building renovations in Florida,” he said. “So I think some of them might have applied for that money, and they’re waiting to see if they can get it.” While the district remains the owner of the almost 36,000-square-foot building, it is wholly exempt from local property taxes. aaikins@palatkadailynews.com Senate continued from PAge 1A well as northern Marion County,” Smith, A Democrat, said in a statement. “I have chosen to re-enter public service because, while political leaders now running Tallahassee keep assuring us that everything is just fine, we here in North Central Florida know better.” Smith previously served in the state Senate from 2001 to 2006, before resigning to run for governor. He is also a former state attorney. In his statement, he said his vote wouldn’t be for sale, and he wouldn’t play political games. Instead, Smith said, he plans to work hard so local residents can have better schools, a criminal justice system that works, safe drinking water and high quality jobs. “I promise you, if you want a senator who will do just what some powerful, special interests instructs him or her to do, then I am not your guy,” Smith said. “If you think your senator should go along just to get along, then I will not be that guy.” Abortion Officials say Q.I. Roberts Junior Senior High’s band participation has exploded as the school increases grade levels each year. continued from PAge 1A CHRIS DEVITTO/ Palatka Daily News Band continued from PAge 1A bands. Wendell said the jazz band started branching out this year, performing in the community, and the concert band represents the school at band competitions. Wendell joined the school’s band director, Randy Doo, and a band student’s grandmother Tuesday, asking school board members for support in supplying more instruments for the growing number of band students. Wendell said a government surplus store in Stark would sell two trombones, a tuba, saxophone, trumpet and French horn to the school for a service charge of $1,215. He said the instruments are worth about $9,000. The school board unanimously approved the contribution. “That’s a good deal,” board member Jane Crawford said. Superintendent Phyllis Criswell reminded board members they approved $10,000 for Interlachen, Palatka and Crescent City high schools’ bands earlier in the school year. “I was really impressed the board showed such excitement Park continued from PAge 1A Director) Angie (Whisnant).” Whisnant said she met with officers about a year ago, and the two departments agreed to work together on the obstacle course. “It was great that they were willing to construct the course since they have the skill set,” Whisnant said. Surrency said his unit agreed to build the obstacles, and Parks and Recreation paid for the materials. Perry, the vice chairman of the House Education Committee, is a small businessman and longtime public servant. Perry said his love of family and deep roots in the area makes him the perfect candidate to be the voice of local constituents. “As a husband, father and small business owner, I am concerned about the future of our education system and economy – and I want to do everything I can to lend a helping hand,” Perry said in a statement. “It’s also why, as your senator, I’ll work hard to keep the government off your back and out of your pocketbook.” Perry graduated from high school, opened his business and raised his children in Alachua county, but he said he spent considerable amounts of time in when they approved our request,” Wendell said. So far this school year, Wendell said, band boosters raised more than $7,000. He said the fundraising resulted in a new piano and concert bass, and covered the cost of many instrument repairs. But the $1,200 contributed from the school district for the band is only about a third of the additional funding the band will need next year, Wendell said. “We’ve just experienced a burst in growth,” he said, “but we’re adjusting.” aaikins@palatkadailynews.com Whisnant said her department bought materials as needed for the project, but the total cost for two obstacle courses is $1,600. “We need the larger obstacles for our dogs, but that wasn’t fair to the little dogs,” Surrency said. “We scaled down the course for the small dog side (of the park).” Surrency said the park will have 20 obstacles, with 11 to 12 on the large dog side and nine planned for the small dog side. It includes a low crawl, fences to jump over and a window for canines to jump through. On the large dog side, a catwalk with a ladder will be available. Surrency said the obstacles would Marion and Putnam, as well. There are many challenges facing District 8 and Florida as a whole, he said, which is why the district needs someone like him in the Senate. “I believe in this community,” Perry said. “We have some of the brightest and hardest working individuals in all of Florida living here. I’m proud to be one of the hardworking, everyday folks that puts in the daily effort that makes where we live one of the greatest places in the world – and I really believe it is.” Perry and Smith will face no incumbent, because when the state Senate districts were redrawn, there was no senator who lived within the new district.

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

Police said 25-year-old Jarrod Swinton yelled at the men as they argued outside a home Tuesday night. When the altercation got physical, Swinton approached them. Chief Mike Chitwood said 27-year-old Rayshad Mincey then grabbed a gun from his truck and shot Swinton in the chest. The other man drove Swinton to the hospital and told detectives he knew the shooter. Chitwood said the men had known each other since they were 8. Mincey was arrested.

SALT LAKE CITY — In an extraordinary display of Republican chaos, the party’s most recent presidential nominees, Mitt Romney and John McCain, lambasted current front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday, calling him unfit for office and a danger for the nation and the GOP. “His is not the temperament of a stable, thoughtful leader,” Romney declared. He called Trump “a phony” who is “playing the American public for suckers,” a man whose “imagination must not be married to real power.” Hours later, Trump lashed back, calling Romney “a choke artist” who lost to Barack Obama four years ago only because he was such a poor candidate. The vicious feud marked a nearunprecedented scenario pitting the Republican Party’s most prominent leaders, past and present, against each other as Democrats begin to unite around Hillary Clinton. Underlying the clash is a bleak reality for panicking Republican officials: Beyond harsh words, there is little they see to stop Trump’s march toward the Indiana man recovering from 11-story fall IIHS recognition for Maxima, Altima and Sentra The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has awarded Maxima and Altima Top Safety Pick+ designations, and Sentra a Top Safety Pick designation for 2016. 2015 NISSAN SENTRA 139 TALLAHASSEE Back-to-school tax holiday scaled back Florida’s back-to-school sales tax holiday will be scaled back this year. A key Senate panel Thursday approved a bill that would cut back the tax holiday from 10 days to just three days in August. During that time period, shoppers will be able to purchase clothes and school supplies without paying sales taxes. Legislators are limiting the tax holiday to clothes that cost $60 or less. Last year, the tax holiday covered anything that cost $100 or less. This year’s tax holiday will not cover the purchases of computers like it did in 2015. The House had initially proposed a 10-day back to school sales tax holiday. But during budget negotiations legislators scaled back how much money they were willing to set aside for tax cuts. Florida wants to add more grocery stores Florida may set up a pilot program aimed at bringing grocery stores to areas that don’t have access to fresh food. The state House unanimously passed a bill Thursday authorizing Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam to set up a program that offers grants and loans for businesses to open in socalled “food deserts.” These are usually low-income neighborhoods served only by convenience stores or fast food restaurants. First Lady Michelle Obama launched an initiative in 2011 to improve access to fresh food as part of a strategy to battle obesity. The bill includes $500,000 for the program. The measure heads to the Senate, which is considering a similar bill. Court tosses sentence for firing gun in air A man who was essentially given a life sentence for firing a gun in the air after becoming enraged at four gay men will have his sentence reduced. The state Supreme Court ruled Thursday the four 20-year sentences he received in the case don’t have to run consecutively because they stem from the same incident. Williams was sentenced under Florida’s 10-20-life gun law after being convicted of pointing a gun at the men who were whistling and ogling him from a neighbor’s Riviera Beach home and then firing into the air several times. Nobody was injured. The judge who sentenced Williams said the law gave him no leeway, and the sentences had to run consecutively.

A MONTH City looks at fines for marijuana possession Tampa officials are looking at fines for misdemeanor marijuana possession, rather than arrests and criminal charges. The city council voted 6-1 in favor of the move Thursday. The ordinance will have to make it through a second hearing March 17 before it goes to Mayor Bob Buckhorn for his signature. The new ordinance would allow law enforcement officers to issue civil citations instead of filing criminal charges against people carrying 20 grams or less of marijuana. A first offense would result in a $75 fine. The fine would increase to $150 for a second offense, $300 for a third and $450 after that. Florida law makes misdemeanor marijuana possession punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Several counties and cities throughout Florida have also passed similar measures. 030416a6.indd 1 Lease for $139 per month for 36 months with $2,729 per month.

The state House voted unanimously Thursday to make children of legal immigrants immediately eligible for Florida Kidcare. Florida Kidcare includes Medicaid and a subsidized children’s health insurance program. There’s currently a five-year waiting period. The bill (HB 89) includes nearly $29 million to pay for the subsidized health care. Republican sponsor Rep. Jose Felix Diaz of Miami estimates about 17,000 children will become eligible for coverage if it becomes law. The legislation heads to the state Senate, which is considering a similar measure. The House vote was significant because House Republicans have been staunch opponents of expanding Medicaid as part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. Some have called Medicaid a failed program. one of the other two contenders has the best chance of beating Mr. Trump in a given state,” Romney said. Another idea rumbling through power corridors in Washington was the prospect of a late third-party candidate to represent more mainstream conservatives. A Romney confidant, Republican National Committeeman Ron Kaufman, said such talk may be swirling around Romney, but he laughed it off. “It’s not happening,” he said. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been approached by “a mixture of people” about being part of a third-party bid, said Jeff Miller, who managed Perry’s failed GOP presidential campaign. But Miller said Perry found the idea “ludicrous.” Suggesting Romney may continue to have 2016 ambitions of his own, Trump said the 2012 nominee had “chickened out” earlier when he understood he’d be going up against the billionaire businessman. “He doesn’t have what it takes to be president,” Trump said at a Portland, Maine, rally. “I made so much more money than Mitt.” Romney’s views are irrelevant, he said. “Look, Mitt is a failed candidate.” Nissan Grabs 3 More Top Safety Picks PANAMA CITY BEACH Authorities said an Indiana man was stretching his back on a railing when he lost his footing and fell from the 11th floor balcony of a Panama City Beach condominium. Mark Hefley, 38, of Greenwood, Ind., plunged into a shallow pool below Tuesday night. He remained in the hospital Wednesday night, but his condition was not available. Hefley’s wife told Panama City Beach police she and a friend were sitting on the couch when they saw Hefley slip and his legs upend as he fell over the balcony. He told police after the incident he and a friend had just finished laying hardwood flooring in the condo, and he needed to stretch his back. Police don’t believe alcohol was a factor. presidential nomination. Party leaders are poring over complicated delegate math, outlining hazy scenarios for a contested national convention and even flirting with the idea of a third-party effort. In the most notable verbal attacks against Trump to date, Romney and his 2012 running mate, House Speaker Paul Ryan, urged voters in the strongest terms to shun the former reality television star for the good of country and party. The GOP’s 2008 nominee, Arizona Sen. McCain, joined in, raising “many concerns about Mr. Trump’s uninformed and indeed dangerous statements on national security issues.” That echoes the worries of dozens of leading conservative defense and foreign policy officials. Romney embraced what might seem a long-shot approach to deny Trump the delegates necessary to secure the nomination. He did not call on Republicans to unify behind a single alternative candidate but outlined a plan to divide the electorate and force a contested national convention in July. “Given the current delegate selection process, this means that I would vote for Marco Rubio in Florida, for John Kasich in Ohio and for Ted Cruz or whichever 2015 Nissan $ * 9,991 Rogue Select Stk#NN9456A Stk# 7906B 9,991* $ For this year, IIHS has tightened its standards by requiring a Good or better rating in all five of the crashworthiness categories and making an available front crash prevention system mandatory for all awards.

CALL TODAY 386-328-2775 252 HWY 17N • PALATKA, FL BeckNissan.com 3/3/16 7:34 PM SIDELINES ANDY HALL Jonell and her new role JACKSONVILLE even years of starting have given way to a season of sitting. A dominant role in victory has become a bit part in defeat. So it has been for the most accomplished women’s basketball player ever to come out of Putnam County. But it’s only one season. The player and her coach said much the same thing Thursday, when Jonell Williams’ first season at the University of Mississippi ended quietly Wednesday in a 74-59 loss to Vanderbilt in the first round of the Southeastern Conference tournament before 2,889 at the Veterans Memorial Arena. The 6-foot-2 center, who averaged a double double in points and rebounds throughout four all-state seasons at Palatka High School – before that, she was a three-year varsity starter for Peniel Baptist Academy – played only seven minutes against Vandy. The outcome was a foregone conclusion before she entered the game for the first time at the 1:59 mark of the second quarter. Ole Miss led only at 2-0, giving up the next 18 points and trailing 29-12 at the end of the first quarter, 42-19 at halftime. Williams took one shot, a jumper from the key that clanged off the rim. She finished with two fouls, no rebounds and no blocked shots. The Rebels finished 10-20, losing their last 11 and 16 of their last 17. They were last in the conference. By contrast, Palatka won four district championships in Williams’ four seasons. The Panthers were 19-7 when she was a senior in 2014-15. So this has been different. But player and coach both say it will get better. “She worked real hard this summer on changing her body and getting stronger,” said Ole Miss coach Matt Insell. “She’s made a lot of strides in the little things, in her footwork. She moves exceptionally well for her size.” Williams, who rarely faced high school opponents anywhere near her size, spent a fair portion of her limited time Wednesday working against the Commodores’ taller and bulkier Kendall Shaw. It was tough, just as it was at the end of Williams’ junior season, when she had to deal with twin towers from Fort Walton Beach Choctawhatchee in the Panthers’ 38-25 loss in the Region 1-5A title game. Appearing in 16 games, Williams averaged 2.4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game as a true freshman. Insell sees no reason her time and production won’t go up, holding up teammate Shandricka Sessom as an example. Sessom averaged 15.6 points per game as a sophomore after limited time the year before. “She got in the gym and worked really hard at it. That’s what I expect from Jonell,” Insell said. “Great kid. Great family.” The most accomplished women’s basketball player ever to come out of Putnam County happens to be the daughter of the most accomplished football player ever to come out of Putnam County, two-time Pro Bowl fullback John L Williams, who spent 10 years in the NFL between the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers and starred both at PHS and the University of Florida. If Jonell did not have the instant impact at Ole Miss that her father had at Florida, she’s giving it time.

A balk, more specifically. The balk capped a three-run seventh inning as the Tornadoes edged the Panthers 3-2 in a game that left both teams 2-1 in District 5-5A. Palatka (6-2 overall) had just bro- ken a scoreless tie with two runs in the sixth, only to see Bradford (5-6) come back with three in the seventh. The loss left Santa Fe (4-5, 2-0) alone at the top in a battle for the No. 1 seed in the district tournament next month. “Give Bradford credit for doing what they did, but it’s a shame when the pitcher doesn’t balk and they call it,” said PHS coach Alan Rick. “Maybe this loss will open up our kids’ eyes and make sure they keep working.” Consecutive walks to Chayce Ladd and Brent Summers got Palatka going in the sixth. Ladd was thrown out trying to steal third, but Summers scored the game’s first run when, with two out, Austin Langston’s grounder was misplayed. Langston got to second on the play and scored when Josh Reynolds doubled to right center. Palatka starter Cody Mills completed six scoreless innings, striking out five, walking two and allowing three hits, all singles. He threw 85 pitches to get to that point, however, and Rick turned to Clayton Faircloth in the seventh. See BASEBALL, Page 2B Ready to wrestle at state Moving On Hastings twins first Rams to get to this point By Andy Hall Palatka Daily News Crescent City’s Dadrian Ellis enjoyed a big night against Interlachen last season. Daily News file photo Answered Prayer 2014 player of year Ellis signs with Iowa junior college By Mark Blumenthal Palatka Daily News D adrian Ellis left it in God’s hands. Iowa Central Community College came calling in the end. Ellis, the 2014 Putnam County football player of the year who ran for 1,000 yards in the last two seasons for Crescent City JuniorSenior High School, signed a letter of intent to play at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on full scholarship. The ceremony was witnessed by a small group of friends, teammates, teachers and family on Thursday at the school. “Praying to God about a scholarship is hard,” Ellis said. “But when he answers your prayer, it’s so much better. I wanted to go to a school that benefited both me and my family.” Ellis said he will be heading to Iowa Central on July 5 to learn the playbook and work out with the team. Iowa Central struggled this past season, going 2-8. “This is a very fitting place for MARK BLUMENTHAL / Palatka Daily News Crescent City Junior-Senior High running back and 2014 Putnam County player of the year Dadrian Ellis signs a scholarship with Iowa Central Community College on Thursday at his school. Sitting next to him are grandmother and grandfather Dorothy and Edward Mitchner and mother Katrina. In the back, from left, are Crescent City assistant principal Tony Benford, Steven Simmons, Ellis’ brother, and Crescent City football coach Al Smith. him to go,” said Al Smith, Ellis’ Crescent City head coach. “He’s a match for what they run and football-wise, Dadrian was their No. 1 pick as far as running backs were concerned. He was the top person for what they were going after. It came at the right time. They sat him down and talked to him and he liked what he heard.” See ELLIS, Page 2B They’re rested and ready. The trip down produced a few butterflies, but once Lance and Logan Hastings arrived in Kissimmee checked out the place in which they will wrestle today – the Silver Spurs Rodeo Arena – all was well. “They’ve had a chance to work out and get used to the venue. They were a little nervous coming down, but now they’re comfortable,” said Craig Borgus, who will guide the Interlachen twins at the class 1A state meet. They are the first Rams to wrestle at this level since Borgus revived the IHS program five years ago. Having spent years as a wrestling coach in upstate New York, Borgus was ready with advice for the two seniors. “We discussed focus, but the other thing is that when you wrestle for the first time in this venue, it’s hard to believe you belong at this level,” Borgus said. “But they belong.” Indeed they do. Lance Hastings takes a 43-4 record into his first-round match in the 195pound weight class with 40-7 Shelbourne Steward, a sophomore from Indian Rocks Christian. Logan Hastings, 31-7, goes against Kevin Soltis, a 24-4 senior from Coral Springs Charter in the 182-pound class. Lance finished third, Logan fourth in Region 2-1A competition last weekend in Titusville. The brackets call for third-place finishers from one region to face the runnerup from another, and for fourth-place finishers to open against another region’s champion. Borgus is cautiously optimistic. “We’re going in a little blind – we only know Region 1 and Region 2 – but we should do well the first couple of rounds,” he said. “They’re comfortable, relaxed and ready to go.” As many as a dozen matches covering schools in all three classes will be going on at any one time, making it important not to be distracted by what’s happening on another mat. “In a large venue like that, do not stop when you hear a whistle. Don’t stop until you’re touched (by an official),” Borgus said. The only expectation he is placing on the Hastings twins is for them to make their best effort. “I’m not looking for wins. I’m looking for good, solid performance. If you have a good, solid performance, wins will come,” Borgus said. PREP ROUNDUP IHS tennis team again rebounding from slow start Crescent City softball team outlasts St. Joe Palatka Daily News The Interlachen High School boys tennis team of coach Mike Stevens is having to make it back from a slow start for the second straight year. After a 1-3 start, the Rams have now run off wins in five of their last six matches. On Thursday, the Rams did it again, defeating host The Villages, 5-2, to improve to 6-4 overall and 6-1 against District 5-2A competition. “Last year, we lost to The Villages in a match, 8-0,” said Stevens, whose team finished strong last year by winning six of its last seven to go 7-6. “What a difference a year makes for us.” Craig Berry has started to get it going at first singles, capturing an 8-2 win. And after a slow start as well, Nico Calero improved to 5-2 with an 8-5 win at second singles. Jeff Weber (third singles) and Nick Thompson (fifth) were also singles winners. The first doubles team of Berry and Thompson also prevailed. n The Palatka boys won its third straight match to improve to 4-4, blanking St. Augustine Florida Deaf & Blind, 7-0. First singles player Felix Mohlberg set the tone with an 8-2 win, while Zach Dixon and Jared Hendrix captured an 8-2 wins at third and fourth singles, respectively. The second doubles team of Dixon and Hendrix combined for a 7-2 tiebreaker win. n Palatka’s girls improved to 2-5 with a 4-3 win over Florida Deaf & Blind at home. The Panthers got all their wins in singles play with Giada Carta (second), Hollie Harrell (third), Andrea Mace and Lee Ann Nordimier (fifth) all prevailing, Nordimier winning in an 8-0 decision.

The team made the moves Thursday, six days before the start of the new league year. Beadles started every game over the last two seasons, but wasn’t nearly as effective the Jaguars had hoped when they gave him a five-year, $30 million contract in 2014. The deal included $12.5 million guaranteed. The 29-year-old Beadles had three years remaining on his contract and was due a $500,000 roster bonus on March 13. He would have counted $5.5 million against the cap in 2016 and $6 million in 2016 and 2017. The 34-year-old Clemons, who had three sacks last season, signed a four-year, $17.5 million contract in 2014. He was due a $500,000 roster bonus on March 13 and would have counted $4 million against the cap in 2016 and 2017. Brady suspension back on table NEW YORK — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady could again be facing a four-game suspension for the scandal known as Deflategate after federal appeals court judges spent time Thursday shredding some of his union’s favorite arguments for dismissal. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan gave a players’ union lawyer a tough time, with Circuit Judge Denny Chin even saying evidence of ball tampering was “compelling, if not overwhelming,” and there was evidence to support a finding that Brady “knew about it, consented to it, encouraged it.” The appeals court did not immediately rule, but it seemed to lean heavily at times against the union’s arguments, raising the prospect that the suspension Brady was supposed to start last September before a judge nullified it may begin next season instead. The appeals panel seemed receptive to the NFL’s argument that it was fair for Commissioner Roger Goodell to severely penalize one of the game’s greatest quarterbacks after concluding he tarnished the game by impeding the league’s investigation into deflated footballs, including destroying a cellphone containing nearly 10,000 messages. – Associated Press Ellis CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B “Being a perfect fit was both mine and coach Smith’s thoughts at the same time,” said Ellis, who plans to major in physical therapy. “We agreed that I might like it being out of state. You never know what is planned once you’re out there. But I saw (the school) on the Internet and then I went for a visit. It’s comfortable. It’s a comfortable environment to be around.” Earning player of the year honors at the annual all-county football banquet in 2014, Ellis helped lead the Raiders to the District 8-1A championship by rushing for 1,316 yards and a program-record 26 touchdowns. Last year, however, saw Ellis running behind a completely revamped offensive line with mostly young kids blocking in front of him. Running in various offensive sets, Ellis struggled from the outset, collecting minus-5 yards in a seasonopening win at Hilliard. After that, Ellis caught fire and ended the season with 1,002 rushing yards. Still, according to Smith and Ellis, his ACT scores were not high enough for the 5-foot-8, 190-pound Ellis to sign with any big-name schools who had interest. By going the junior college route, both agree that as long as Ellis does the work and makes an impression on the field, there’ll be a four-year school waiting with an offer by the end of 2017. “That school not only services the Big Ten and Big 12 conferences from where they’re located, but they also service the entire Pac-12,” Smith said. “He’ll be near all that. He’ll be able to showcase what he can do and that can turn into something for him.” “I’m taking full advantage,” Ellis said. “You only get one shot at when you do, you do your best. That’s what I’m hoping to do.” Baseball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B “It was going to be (Bradford’s) fourth time through the order,” Rick said. “Clayton’s our closer and we were at that part of the ball game.” Bidding for his third save, Faircloth (0-1) issued a leadoff walk and there were runners at the corners after a swinging bunt went for a base hit. Two strikeouts sandwiched a base hit that scored the Tornadoes’ first run, then a wild pitch brought in the tying run and the balk brought home the winner.

Don’t hesitate to call in favors or collaborate with people trying to reach the same goal as you. Expand your interests in order to stand out. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) People will value your time and offer you assistance if you need it, so don’t feel that you have to take on the world all by yourself. Accept help in order to achieve the most. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Avoid an emotional scene with a co-worker, client or superior. Offer positive input in order to impress someone who can help you get ahead. Avoid gossip and the sharing of personal information. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Carefully examine what’s presented to you. Don’t let your personal relationship with someone alter a necessary decision regarding a financial move. Practicality is your only choice. HOROSCOPE GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Size up every challenge you face and opt to put your intelligence and strength to the test. Don’t let anyone muscle into your affairs. Stay in control. CANCER (June 21-July 22) An interesting offer will change your professional direction. A chance to do more from home or to use your space liberally will be granted.

Trying something new or signing up for a selfhelp program will pay off. SCORPIO Dear Harriette: My estranged wife has insisted that we need couple’s therapy. I find this so ridiculous, since we are on the path to getting divorced. There’s nothing to fix! Our marriage is essentially over. My wife thinks we need this so we can raise our kids better. I think she’s just trying to get me into a room with a therapist so they can both tell me how I failed the marriage. I would never normally agree to couple’s therapy, but I worry that if I don’t go, she’ll have a better chance of having custody of our children. Do I go into this therapy trap? — Barely My Wife, Pittsburgh Dear Barely My Wife: Because you two have children, therapy is actually a great idea. You must figure out how to parent your children as a team, even though you don’t live together. Let your wife know that you agree — with the understanding that you will determine how to navigate the children between households as well as the basics on what your values are. Talk with the therapist (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You’ll be torn between what you want to do and helping someone you love. If you make an unusual request, you will be surprised by the response and the results. SAGITTARIUS CAPRICORN AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Avoid anyone looking for a fight. Refuse to disagree so you can alleviate the problem and gain the time and space to accomplish your objectives. Positive change is within reach. burn any bridges, but I need to draw up new boundaries without losing our friendship. How can I start this transition to preserve my sanity and budding relationship? — Love Bites, Dallas Dear Love Bites: My mother used to remind my sisters and me all the time about the importance of keeping good company. Your longtime friends may not be such good company if there is constant fighting when you are with them. It may be time to choose your mental health and your relationship over their roller coaster romance. Out of respect for them, tell them where you are. Explain that while you have attempted to stay neutral and present through their rocky relationship, it is wearing on you and your own relationship. So you are pulling back. You don’t have to cut them off entirely — unless that is your choice. You definitely do not have to include them on dates with your girlfriend. BRIDGE (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Find out all you can in order to make any necessary changes easier. Don’t feel obliged to take part in something you cannot afford or don’t want to do. (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t give in to uncertainty. Take the initiative and find out what you need to know. An unexpected opportunity will help you use the information you discover to make a strategic move. about how to come to agreements when you experience friction. If you feel that your wife and the therapist are ganging up on you, stop them and ask if you can agree to work on how to handle the children moving forward rather than rehashing what led to the breakup. It is OK for you to set clear goals in therapy. Dear Harriette: Two of my friends are high school sweethearts ... sort of. They have been an on-again, off-again couple for about eight years. They began dating in high school, but in no way has their timeline been stable. I have been a listening ear to both of them as we all went through growing pains, and I managed to stay impartial, even during some of their most explosive fights. I met a girl I really like, and we have been dating for a little under a year now. I fear that the high school “sweethearts” are creating a toxic element in our relationship because of how vicious they get when they fight — and they bring us into it. I don’t want to Somerset Maugham claimed “You learn more quickly under the guidance of experienced teachers. You waste a lot of time going down blind alleys if you have no one to lead you.” That must be true, but at the bridge table, when there is no one to guide you, do not be blind to the information available from the calls made and cards played. In this deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart six: eight, five (starting a high-low to show an even number), nine. How should declarer continue? After South opens one notrump, North should respond two hearts, a transfer bid indicating at least zero points and five spades. Then, North might rebid three no-trump, but that could work out very badly if South has weak hearts. So, North rebids three diamonds, which is natural and game-forcing. South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, one heart (trick one), four diamonds and one club. He can get the extra winners from either black suit — but on which should he play? Let’s look at the first trick. East was playing third hand high, but didn’t beat dummy’s eight. Why not? Because he couldn’t. West has the heart ace-queen hovering over South’s king-jack. If East gets on lead, a heart return will kill the contract. So, the spade finesse should not be taken. Instead, declarer should lead a low diamond to dummy’s nine and play a club to his 10 (allowing for East’s having the jack and king). When the finesse wins, South returns to dummy with a diamond, takes a second club finesse, and here wins 11 tricks.

The bulk of this initiative involves financing components that are specifically targeted to assist those who have had challenges in life. As a result of market conditions such as the mortgage crisis and economic downturn, this segment has ballooned in recent years. It is the understanding that bad things happen to good people and recognizing the void in the marketplace of programs that provide adequate support that has led to this partnership. Historically, finance companies have offered rates as high as 29% to offset what they consider risk factors. In the event they gauged risk to be in excess of what the state of Florida would allow rates to yield they have charged loan discounts that often added significant cost to dealers which resulted in higher prices. That meant huge rates and larger prices-- not fair! Especially for those of us who could use some help during challenging times. Chrysler Capital is finally trying to do something about it. Here’s how it is designed. Subvention (provision for financial support) by the manufacturer toward the purchase of a new vehicle to the finance company offsets risk factors. With many manufacturers there are optional offers that allow for either a rebate or a subvented APR. Historically customers without perfect credit history are not eligible for subvented rates. With this new program even those who have had significant challenges can qualify for subvented rates. Chrysler pays depending upon model to offset risk and allow APR’s as low as 0%. What this means is many customers can now own more car for less money. Ex.: Customer “A” buys a new vehicle for $25,000 with zero money down plus tax, tag, title & dealer fee. That customer qualifies for a 22% APR with a finance company and drives off for around $653 a month.
