EDGE High officials discuss changes amid money woes
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
BY ASIA AIKINS
Palatka Daily News
Putnam EDGE High School officials
said they plan to make changes to how
school finances are tracked.
Putnam County School Board members asked for Tuesday’s workshop with
EDGE officials after they learned of the
school’s financial difficulties over the last
year.
According to school district attorney
Rocco Carbone, who referred to state
statute, the district’s board can terminate the school’s charter or choose not to
renew it if the school fails “to meet generally accepted standards of fiscal management.”
“What we were doing seemed to be
working up until now,” EDGE Board
Chairwoman Pat Freeman told district

board members. “However, as we started
to take a look at what was happening, we
should’ve made changes to our system
this past year.”
Freeman described sudden financial
troubles due to various misunderstandings. She said $90,000 of state charter
school program start-up grant funding
was planned for payment to the school’s
curriculum provider, New Tech Network.
But when staff changed at the state
Department of Education last year,
Freeman said, the money was determined to be an inappropriate use of
funds.
“That was a major hit for us,” Freeman
said.
District board member Terry Wright
asked about the school’s current relationship with New Tech Network, and
Freeman said New Tech Network is
patiently working with the school while
officials work to repay the delinquent
bill.
Freeman and EDGE board Treasurer
John Nelson also described billing discrepancies that led to payments being

CHICAGO — Homicides
and shootings have doubled in
Chicago so far this year compared with the same period in
2015, and police have seized
fewer illegal guns — more possible signals officers have

Superintendent John
Escalante said Tuesday he
was so concerned about officers possibly holding back he
filmed a video for the entire
department in which he
encouraged them to do their
jobs and assured them a federal probe of the force was not
aimed at individuals.
“We are aware that there is
a concern among the rank and
file about not wanting to be
the next YouTube video that
goes viral,” Escalante said in
the video before introducing a
segment of his own to remind
viewers “why we took this job
and swore this oath of office.”
The statistics come almost
exactly three months after the
city, on the orders of a judge,
released the video of Jason Van
Dyke, a white officer, firing 16
shots at Laquan McDonald, a
black teen killed in 2014. Since
that day, Van Dyke has been
charged with murder, and
Superintendent Garry
McCarthy has been fired. The
Department of Justice launched
a civil rights probe of the police
force, and Mayor Rahm
Emanuel has sought to regain
public trust in the department
and his own leadership.
The crime figures offer a stark
reminder that the nation’s thirdlargest city is nowhere near
shedding its reputation for frequent street violence. The vast
majority of the bloodshed is happening in neighborhoods on the
south and west sides, away from
the Loop business district.
In the first two months of
the year, authorities recorded
95 homicides, compared with
48 for the same period last
year. Thus far, there have
been 406 shootings, or more
than twice as many as the 180
reported in the same twomonth period in 2015.

LINTHICUM, Md. — At the
airport, safety is more important than sexy.
That’s what a woman found
out at the BaltimoreWashington International
Thurgood Marshall Airport.
Officials said she was stopped
Sunday at a security checkpoint with a pair of gunshaped stiletto heels.
TSA spokeswoman Lisa
Farbstein said the stilettos
had heels in the shape of
handguns and faux bullets
around the sole. They were in
the woman’s carry-on luggage,
along with bracelets lined in
faux bullets.
The agency prohibits passengers from carrying “replica
guns or ammunition” through
airport security checkpoints.
Farbstein said the woman
was told she could put the
items in her checked luggage.

cers say they are not going to
take chances that might land
them in legal trouble or threaten their jobs and pensions.
“I’m hearing that police are
standing down because they’re
afraid what might happen to
them, that when they get a call,
they wait to see if someone
answers it first,” said the Rev.
Michael Pfleger, a prominent
Roman Catholic priest and
activist on the South Side. “I
get really angry about that. If
they are not going to do police
work, they need to get out.”
Evidence of a pullback starts
with an 80 percent decrease in
the number of street stops that
the officers have made since the
first of the year. Escalante said
he believes that decrease is
largely tied to the fact that since
the first of the year, officers have
been required to fill out far
lengthier forms than the brief
“contact cards” they used to use.
The new forms were the
result of changes in state law
and an agreement between the
department and the American
Civil Liberties Union of Illinois
that required Chicago police to
more thoroughly document
and monitor street stops.
Escalante said he hopes the
newer and simpler forms the
officers started filling out on
Tuesday will help bring those
numbers back up.
Officers’ unwillingness to
make as many stops as they
once did might also explain the
steep decline in gun seizures.
Normally, the number of illegal
guns recovered by police would
climb with the number of homicides and shooting incidents,
but the opposite has happened.
So far this year, the total number of illegal guns seized by the
department has fallen from 955
in the first two months of last
year to 829 so far this year.
The decrease is particularly
striking after the way McCarthy
used to put seized weapons on
display at news conferences.
The displays were meant to
show that his department was
taking more guns off the streets
than any other police force in
the nation and to urge lawmak-
“I’m hearing that police are standing down
because they’re afraid of what might happen
to them, that when they get a call, they wait

ers to enact tougher gun laws.
The president of the union
representing Chicago police officers did not respond Tuesday to
messages from the Associated
Press seeking comment.
Escalante, who has not put
guns on display as often, said
he has not deemphasized gun
seizures. He pointed to
encouraging recent signs that
include a 33 percent increase
in gun arrests in the last four
weeks and a 20 percent
increase in the number of
street stops officers have
made in the last two weeks.
He said he is optimistic the
street-stop numbers will continue to climb with the new
shorter form that replaces the
two-page investigatory stop
form officers have been filling
out since Jan. 1. And he said
he is hopeful certain changes,
including the deployment of
100 newly trained sergeants to
increase supervision, will ease
the crime numbers.
“I believe they (officers) are
starting to make the effort
again,” he said, “to try to do
what they can to bring this
violence down.”

Florida’s
children
deserve better
D
oes the state government care enough
about what happens to Florida’s poor, sick
and disabled children?
Based on available evidence, the answer
is no.
About 9.6 percent of children in Florida lacked
health insurance in 2014, according to a study
released last week by the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation. That’s the fifth-highest rate of uninsured kids for any state — an estimated 413,000
children.
And those numbers are down significantly from
2013, when Florida’s rate was 11.7 percent. The
study’s authors credited that drop to the Affordable
Care Act, which began generating low-cost coverage
in 2014.
Children of families that purchased policies
through the Affordable Care Act benefited from that
coverage, plus the federal law’s outreach efforts provided poor families with information on state-run
insurance programs for kids.
Even more children would have had at least some
insurance if Gov. Rick Scott and the state Legislature
had agreed to expand Medicaid eligibility as called
for under the Affordable Care Act.
Scott and legislative leaders said the state can’t
afford its minimal share of that expansion (the federal government would pay at least 90 percent of
the cost), though now they’re pondering how to provide $1 billion in tax cuts — mostly to benefit businesses.
As for those state-run insurance programs for children, the Scott administration is working hard to cut
their costs, eliminate benefits and reduce eligibility.
The administration isn’t deterred by a federal
judge’s ruling in December 2014 that Florida’s
Medicaid program left the two million children
enrolled in it “with a second-rate health care system
so poorly funded it violates federal law,” as the
Miami Herald reported.
That case is still in litigation, but the state has
moved forward with a policy designed to reduce
access to its Children’s Medical Services program,
which provides care for kids with serious and chronic conditions, such as severe vision and hearing
impairments, facial deformities and metabolic disorders.
The reductions were brought about through a
revised eligibility-screening process instituted last
May by the state Department of Health, which oversees Children’s Medical Services.
Florida Surgeon General John Armstrong told a
children’s advocacy group last month 13,074 of
about 71,000 children served by Children’s Medical
Services “transitioned” out of the program in 2015
because they failed to meet the new eligibility criteria.
Armstrong said the Department of Health worked
with the families of those children to ensure they
received the same standard of care in Medicaid
managed-care programs.
Those would be the same Medicaid programs the
federal judge called “a second-rate health care system.”
But, with $1 billion in tax cuts on the table, who
cares about a couple million poor, sick and disabled
kids?

Azalea Festival offers
a time honored tradition
F
estival season is upon us.
And that means we once again
have an opportunity to put our best
foot forward.
Whether it’s catfish or blue crabs, blueberries or mushrooms, Putnam County
takes a back seat to no other community
when it comes to throwing a local festival
that will knock your socks off.
The 70th annual Florida Azalea Festival
in Palatka this weekend kicks off a very
busy calendar of local events.
In a couple of weeks, the popular Bass
Masters tournament returns, and after
that come a slew of festivals and fairs in
quick succession.
In addition to adding thousands of dollars to our local economy, these events provide a unique opportunity to showcase the
many wonderful things about Putnam
County.
Once again this year, the Azaleas seem
to be doing their part, blooming right on
cue into brilliant displays of color to remind
us winter is just about to come to an end,
with spring just around the corner.
Azaleas are certainly popular throughout
the south, and Palatka is not the only community that boasts a festival dedicated to
this colorful member of the rhododendron
family.
If you aren’t able to get your azalea fix
this weekend, you can always travel to the
Azalea Festival hosted by Valdosta, Ga.
(March 12-17), Wilmington, N.C. (April

Putnam students begin Florida Standards Assessment testing
By Asia Aikins
Palatka Daily News
The spring testing season is underway in Putnam County with students
having begun the writing portion of the
Florida Standards Assessment Tuesday.
According to Laura France, Putnam
County School District director of elementary education, 458 students in
eighth through 10th grade took the writing test online Tuesday without any
major hiccups.

From Thursday until March

Palatka, the Interlachen

The Elections Office mailed

overseas and in the U.S., and

Nelson said bills were paid
when problems came to light,
but EDGE staff members said
the problems were not communicated or tracked properly
and asked the board to make
changes.
“There wasn’t a system in
place to track any of that,”
Freeman said. “It led to that
perception that there were
problems financially. As you
know, with any business, you
can struggle … and we’ve had
our challenges.”

Freeman said, school officials
are making changes to how

“That’s impressive,” she said.
School officials create testing schedules based on computer availability,
bandwidth limitations or other challenges. France said the eighth- through
10th-grade students have until March
11 to complete the writing portion of the
assessment.
Fourth- through seventh-graders
began taking the paper-based writing
assessment Tuesday, as well. Students
have until Friday to complete the paperbased assessment.
France said the online and paper version of the writing assessment both take
only one day to complete, but time is
allowed for make-up days if students are
absent or if the school encounters problems.
The state Department of Education
first distributed the Florida Standards
Assessment tests last year. Student
assessments were previously based on
Florida Comprehensive Assessment
Tests, also known as FCAT and FCAT
2.0.
“The FSA assessments are the same
as last year,” said Renee’ Lamoreaux,
district coordinator of assessment and
accountability. “The schools will be able
to compare results from last year to this
year once results are available.”
France said the writing portion of the
assessment will be added to the reading
assessment, set for later this year, to
create a combined English Language
Arts assessment score.
Lamoreaux said students were
encouraged to take practice tests at
5 percent turnout.”
Overturf said his office
strives to make each election
better than the last and more
convenient for the public.
One way he plans to do so is
by putting secured drop boxes
outside the Elections Office,
South Putnam Government
Center and the government
office at the Hitchcock plaza in
Interlachen.
Voters can drop off their ballots with minimal fuss,
Overturf said, and Elections
Office staff picks up ballots
daily.
Overturf said his office
decided to use the drop boxes
because changes to the U.S.
Postal Service delivery methods led to votes not being
counted last year.
“We’ve added drop boxes …
so they don’t even have to get
out of their car to turn in their
ballot,” he said. “The postal service changed their first-class
mail delivery system last year.
Instead of one to two delivery
days, it’s three to five days.
“We had 72 ballots that came
in the day after the last election, and they weren’t counted.”
Overturf said one of those 72
mail ballots was postmarked
six days before the special election last year, and one of the
ballots was from as close as
Florahome.
As of Tuesday, there were
20,765 Democrats and 16,332
Republicans registered in the
county, but only local residents
who were registered in the two
major parties by Feb. 16 will be
allowed to vote in the
Presidential Preference
Primary.
As for voter turnout on primary day, Overturf said he
doesn’t know whether more
people will vote then, during
early voting or by mail.
“Last year in the special election, our turnout on Election
Day was higher than the state
average for (the primary and
election),” he said. “It’s hard to
say (what the turnout will be)
because you don’t know the
schedule of the people. You
don’t know the weather. When
there’s interest, usually, you’ll
see a lot of people come in
early.”
finances are handled. She said
the school purchased
QuickBooks, a bookkeeping
program for computers, that
will be accessible by school officials and give “real-time” information tracking finances at
the school.
Freeman said the school’s
administrator, Lisa Parsons,
was also added to the school’s
bank account so she will be
included when school officials
are reviewing, verifying and
preparing payments or invoices.
District Finance Director
Rhonda Odom said the workshop was needed, as the district is the school’s sponsor,
and district officials and board
members were fielding calls
about the charter school’s
financial health.
Odom also acknowledged
the school’s financial challenges, as she is responsible for distributing state money based on
the amount of students the
school estimates it will have.
She told board members the
student count at EDGE was
overestimated twice, including
this school year, resulting in
less funding than anticipated
for the school during the second half of the year.
Freeman said school officials hope to gain more students by expanding next school
year. She hopes to secure a
U.S. Department of
Agriculture-backed loan of up
to $2.9 million that would fund
renovations at EDGE’s College
Road building and cover the
school’s mortgage on the building.
Freeman said she expects to
receive the loan acceptance or
rejection letter within the next
week or two, but is confident
the school will secure the loan
after meeting with bank officials last week.
“If they get this loan, they’ll
be golden,” Odom said.
District board members
asked Freeman to notify Odom
of acceptance of the loan or
come back with a “plan B” if
the loan is denied.
Carbone concluded the
meeting by reminding district
board members their responsibility goes beyond “this one
loan.” When EDGE’s finances
are revisited next, he said, the
board’s responsibility is to
determine if the school’s overall fiscal standards are acceptable.

Super
Still, the night belonged to
Trump and Clinton, who
turned the busiest day of the
2016 primaries into a showcase
of their strength with a wide
swath of American voters.
“What a Super Tuesday,”
Clinton exclaimed during a victory rally.
As Trump’s victories piled
up, he fired off “thank you”
Twitter notes to the states that
landed in his win column.
Cruz desperately needed a
win in Texas in order to stay in
the race, and was likely to keep
campaigning as the only
Republican who has been able
to defeat Trump in any primary contest.
For Florida Sen. Marco
Rubio, the night was turning
into a disappointment. While a
flood of Republican officehold-
ers have rallied around him in
recent days, his first victory
remained elusive as results
rolled in.
Still, Rubio, who has
launched an aggressive campaign to stop Trump in recent
days, vowed to keep up his
efforts to “unmask the true
nature of the front-runner in
this race.”
The Florida senator’s longshot White House hopes now
rest with his home state, which
votes March 15. But he’s
expected to face fresh calls
from Trump and others to drop
out of the race before then.
“He has to get out,” Trump
told Fox News earlier in the
day. “He hasn’t won anything.”
Super Tuesday marked the
busiest day of the 2016 primaries, with the biggest singleday delegate haul up for grabs.
Democrats voted in 11 states
and American Samoa, with
865 delegates at stake.
Republicans voted in 11 states,
with 595 delegates.

he most surprising women’s
basketball team in the
Southeastern Conference
might not be perennial powerhouse Tennessee.
No. 25 Florida was picked to finish
12th in the league in the preseason,
hardly a huge slight at the time considering the Gators went 13-17 last
season and fired two assistant coaches.
But Florida responded with arguably the best season in coach Amanda
Butler’s nine years. The Gators (22-7,
10-6 SEC) won three of their final
four regular-season games and
earned the No. 4 seed and a double
bye in the SEC Tournament, which
begins Wednesday in Jacksonville.
With all the attention on top-seeded and third-ranked South Carolina
and the slumping Lady Vols, who are
trying to avoid missing the NCAA
Tournament for the first time since
its inception in 1982, under-the-radar
Florida might just be the league’s
postseason sleeper.
“We came with the mentality that
we knew what we wanted to be,” said
junior forward Ronni Williams, one of
eight upperclassmen on Florida’s roster. “Last year we felt what it was
like to lose and we didn’t want to be
in that predicament again. It’s been
effort and hard work, working together, playing together regardless of
what happens. We’re playing these
games for each other. We stick
together and we’re a family through
it all.”
Florida’s family looked like it
might be broken up after last season.
Butler’s team missed the NCAA
Tournament for the fourth time in six
years and had few, if any, excuses for
finishing below .500 for the first time
since 2010.
But athletic director Jeremy Foley
gave Butler another chance at her
alma mater, and the Gators delivered
one of their best seasons in nearly
two decades. New assistants Shimmy
Gray-Miller and Bill Ferrara brought
fresh ideas, and key returners
Williams, Haley Lorenzen, January
Miller, Cassie Peoples and Carlie
Needles bought in.
The key may have been a latedeveloping recruiting class that
included Eleanna Christinaki, a
member of Greece’s senior national
team the last three years, and junior
college transfer Simone Westbrook.
Christinaki ranks second on the
team in scoring (10.5 points a game)
and first in assists (101), while
Westbrook is fifth in scoring (8.1) and
leads the team in steals (65).
Throw in the team’s “power of
touch” philosophy — which doles out
points for high-fives, chest-bumps,
pats on the back and picking up
teammates in games and practices —
and the Gators seemingly have something special going on right now.
“You can overcome a lot with culture,” Lorenzen said. “You can overcome 26 turnovers with culture. You
can overcome a rebounding deficit by
playing for one another and hustling
for every single ball. Our culture is
the biggest thing that defines us from
anyone else.”
Aside from Florida’s turnaround,
here are some other things to know
heading into the tournament:
n VOLS WATCH: The Lady Vols
(17-12, 8-8) already set a school
record for losses in a season and
dropped out of the Top 25 for the first
time since 1985. They certainly don’t
want to make more history by becoming the first Tennessee team to miss
the NCAA Tournament. The Lady
Vols seem like a lock, especially since
they played the nation’s toughest
non-conference schedule, but losing
Thursday to 10th-seeded Arkansas
(12-17, 7-9) would significantly weaken their NCAA resume.
“I think we’ve done enough to have
an NCAA bid,” Tennessee coach
Holly Warlick said. “I don’t think
anybody comes close to playing the
schedule we play. We’ll see. I coach a
team that I know we’ve still got a lot
left in us. Our focus is going to be the
SEC tournament.”
n USC INVITATIONAL? South
Carolina (28-1, 16-0) became just the
second team in SEC history to finish
16-0 in league play. The Gamecocks
held each of their last three opponents to less than 50 points and less
than 30 percent shooting.

Panthers end slide, beat Menendez 5-1
Peniel seventh-grader
no-hits district foe
Palatka Daily News
Brent Coates thought a win “was
around the corner.”
“It’s always the one inning that
has hurt us,” Coates said.
On Tuesday night, that “one”
inning never happened to the
Palatka High School softball team.
And it helped to get the Panthers
their first win in weeks.
Kendell Moody allowed five hits
on the mound for her first varsity
win and went 2-for-4 at the plate
with a run and three RBI, leading
Palatka to a 5-1 win at home over
Menendez, which beat Panthers 9-3
on Feb. 16.
“The scores have not been reflective of our play,” said Coates, in his
second season with the Panthers as
coach. “We’ve been teetering on the
brink of turning things around and
this win shows they can do it. They
held it together the whole time and
they had fun in doing so.”
Moody had an RBI single to bring
in Kayla Booth in the first inning.
Then in the fifth, Lydia Gunn’s RBI
single knocked in Moody. Moody put
the final dagger into Menendez’s
night with a two-run single in the
sixth.
Sam Shepherd went 2-for-4 with a
run scored, while sisters Kayla and
Karlie Booth and Lydia Gunn had
one hit each. Moody was not at her
best with six walks and two hit batsmen, but she had two strikeouts and
the defense had just one error
behind her.
Out at Home
“Kendell had a great night,”
Coates said. “She’s advancing well.
Her changeup was on. It was a great
night. The girls get (today) off from
practice, and we’ll be back at it on
Thursday and Friday in getting
ready for our next game on Monday.”
The Panthers will travel to Nease
on Monday night. They lost to Nease
on Monday night at home, 7-2.

he St. Johns River State College softball
team is now one doubleheader away from
its Mid-Florida Conference schedule.
And coach Jill Semento likes what
she’s seeing in her Vikings, especially
after a home sweep of Pasco-Hernando by scores
of 7-5 and 8-4 on Tuesday to improve to 17-8.
“We hit the ball well,” said Semento, whose
Vikings collected 21 hits in the two games. “It
took us a while to score in the first game, but we
were hitting the ball extremely hard, just right
at people.
“Chris (Marasa, who improved to 8-2 with the
first-game win) didn’t have a great pitching performance, but our offense picked us up. And our
defense did well with one error in the two
games.”
Down 2-0 in the first game, the Vikings delivered a six-run fourth inning, highlighted by RBI
singles from Sydney Shows, Marasa, Hannah
Sommers and Kacee Langsford. Langsford went
3-for-3 with a run and an RBI, while Shows,
Marasa, Sommers, Amanda Peck, Haley Wildes,
Savannah Montgomery and Shelby Griffis had
one hit each in the opener.
Jessie Grissom went 3-for-4 with an RBI in
the second game, while Stacey Wilson was 2-for3 with a run and two RBI, delivering a two-run
home run in the fifth inning. Peck was 2-for-4
with two runs scored and Shows, Montgomery,
Aly Resendres and Ta’Shylia Brockington had
one hit apiece.
The Vikings travel to Bradenton to face State
College of Florida in a doubleheader on
Saturday. Next Tuesday, the Vikings begin MidFlorida Conference action on the road at LakeSumter, the school Semento coached from 201315 and took to the state tournament in 2014,
winning a couple of games there.
It was quick, easy and impressive.
It could have been quicker, easier
and even more impressive without
some early adventures in the field, but
the Palatka High School baseball team
flexed its collective muscle in a 12-2
defeat of Gainesville P.K. Yonge in a
District 5-5A contest that took four and
a half innings and barely an hour and a
half.
Every Palatka starter had at least
one hit, run or RBI on a comfortable
Tuesday night at the Azalea Bowl. The
Panthers (6-1, 2-0) had 11 hits – 10 in
the first two innings, six for extra bases
Clayton Faircloth had a three-run
homer and a two-run double in his first
two at-bats. Clellan Barnes hit a tworun homer in an eight-run second
inning that also included a triple and a
double by Brent Summers. Palatka’s
four-run first inning began with a twoout double by Austin Langston.
Faircloth’s big night came from the
sixth spot in the order.
“He’s been getting his confidence up.
He can be a deadly player,” said PHS
coach Alan Rick. “He’s definitely picking up the bottom part of our lineup.”
The home runs by Faircloth and
Barnes were the Panthers’ first of the
season.
“We’ve been working on (Barnes’)
approach,” Rick said. “He can be very
good if he keeps working and stays with
the process.”
The other Palatka hits were singles
by Josh Reynolds, Tanner Tilton,
Dalton DeLoach, J.C. Conner and
Chayce Ladd. Rhett Lamoreaux delivered a sacrifice fly.
It was more than enough offense for
Tilton, who struck out two, walked
none and allowed two unearned runs
on four hits over the first four innings.
Jacob Arnold pitched a 1-2-3 fifth.
The Panthers made three errors the
first two innings, all on routine plays,
helping the Blue Wave (2-8, 0-4) to both
its runs.
“I’d like to play an hour and 38-minute game all the time as long as we
win,” said Rick, whose team has another district game Thursday night at
Bradford. “I was highly disappointed
(in the errors). We didn’t take infield
(because of the junior varsity game) but
we should have been ready. But we did
pick it up later.”

Kentucky deals Gators fourth straight loss
By Mark Long
Associated Press
GAINESVILLE — Jamal Murray and Tyler
Ulis got a lot more help than usual Tuesday
night.
If it continues, No. 22 Kentucky could be a
dangerous team in the NCAA Tournament.
Murray scored 21 points, Ulis added 19
points and 11 assists, and the Wildcats beat
Florida 88-79, handing the Gators a fourth consecutive loss.
More surprising was their supporting cast.
Skal Labissiere made the most of his first
start since Dec. 12, chipping in 11 points and
eight rebounds. Alex Poythress finished with
12 points and 10 boards. And Isaiah Briscoe
had 13 points.
“We can’t be a one-dimensional team,”
Poythress said. “We’ve got to have all-around
scoring. Everybody on the team has scored.
We’ve seen it throughout the season. We’ve just
got to do it on a consistent basis every night.”
Kentucky had no answer inside for John
Egbunu, who finished with nine dunks and a
career-high 27 points, but the Cats more than
made up for it by hitting 7 of 10 shots from
3-point range.
They hit all five shots from behind the arc in
the decisive second half.
“I need a confident basketball team, and it’s
not going to come from me building guys up
who are playing like crap,” Kentucky coach
John Calipari said. “That’s not confidence.
That’s fake. That’s not how we operate. It is
telling them the truth, work on it and go do it in
the game.”
Murray came up huge once again, draining
Baseball
three consecutive 3s as Kentucky pushed its
lead to 64-51. Marcus Lee followed with a dunk
that put Cal’s team up big for good with 6:32
remaining.
The Wildcats (22-8, 12-5 Southeastern
Conference) squandered a 14-point lead late in
the first half, and Florida (17-13, 8-9) could
have been in front at the break if not for missing 10 free throws in the first 20 minutes. The
Gators ended up 16 of 37 from the line.
Egbunu was Florida’s lone bright spot. He
made 12 of 15 shots in the paint.
It wasn’t nearly enough since the Gators
struggled at just about every other position.
Florida’s guards really floundered. Chris
Chiozza, Kasey Hill and KeVaughn Allen were
9-of-33 shooting combined, continuing a recent
trend. The trio was also exposed in the previous
meeting in Lexington.

Mount Dora Christian to a 4-3 win
in a nondistrict game at Kelly
Borgh Field.

The Raiders had just two hits,
n Crescent City pitchers walked singles by Ashton Lansing and
seven in the sixth inning – three Brett Chesbro, but scratched out
three runs and took a 3-1 lead to
the sixth before the strike zone
became all to elusive.
“We couldn’t strike anybody out.
We walked way too many,” said
Crescent City coach Clarence
Williams.
The Raiders had eight fly-ball
outs, as well as a liner that bounced
off the knee of the third baseman
and into the pitcher’s glove.
The second of three Crescent
City pitchers, J.J. Santos took the
loss.

pitcher Jerri Mae Bedenbaugh

Miranda Polk each had one hit and
two runs scored.
Bedenbaugh (8-2) allowed three
hits, walked three and struck out

n A four-run fourth inning, followed by an eight-run sixth, overturned a 1-0 deficit and led Port
Orange Atlantic to a 12-1 victory
over host Crescent City.
Winning pitcher Payton Bryan
(2-1) scattered seven hits, walked
two and struck out four. For the
Raiders (3-7), Hannah Malphurs
scored the Raiders’ lone run, while
going 2-for-2. Savannah Lepanto,
Georgette Hobbs, Sarah Hamling,
Loris Molter and Kaley Roberts all
had one hit each with Lepanto driving in a run.
Bryan threw a four-inning nohitter at Rotary Park against
District 2-2A foe Ormond Beach
Calvary Christian, 19-4.
Bryan struck out 13 and walked
three, allowing just one earned run
as the Warriors made four errors.
Peniel (5-5, 4-1) was helped out by
eight Calvary errors and two pitchers who combined to walk 16 bat-
ters and hit six others.
Bryan had a second-inning triple
and Rylee Romay had an RBI single for the only hits the Warriors
collected.
The Warriors scored 11 firstinning runs without the benefit of a
hit, thanks to 11 walks and three
hit batsmen.
n Kortney Masters had a career
night, going 3-for-3 with two runs
scored and seven RBI in leading
host Interlachen to an 11-1 victory
over Bronson.

Chapman accepts suspension
NEW YORK — New York Yankees closer
Aroldis Chapman agreed to accept a 30-game suspension under Major League Baseball’s domestic
violence policy, a penalty stemming from an incident with his girlfriend last October.
Under the discipline announced Tuesday, the
four-time All-Star will serve the penalty from the
start of the Yankees’ season on April 4. He will
lose 30 days of pay — $1,856,557 of his $11,325,000
salary. The agreement specifies he will be eligible
for free agency after this season barring any additional suspension for off-the-field conduct that
would cost him the necessary service time.
“I found Mr. Chapman’s acknowledged conduct
on that day to be inappropriate … particularly his
use of a firearm and the impact of that behavior on
his partner,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred
said in a statement. “I am gratified that Mr.
Chapman has taken responsibility for his conduct.”
Chapman became the first player penalized a
finite number of games under the policy, which
MLB and the players’ association agreed to in
August following several high-profile incidents
among NFL players. Colorado shortstop Jose
Reyes was given an indefinite paid suspension last
week, pending a trial scheduled for April 4, following an alleged altercation with him wife in
October.

Polk joins Jaguars staff
JACKSONVILLE — The Jacksonville Jaguars

with the Atlanta Falcons (2006-15), most recently
as the pro personnel coordinator in 2015. Prior to
that, Polk spent three seasons (2012-14) as the
director of pro scouting.

home or the victim’s family.
A Palatka High School official said grief
counselors were at the school Tuesday
morning.

Why wait? Republican Jolly,
Democrat Grayson agree to debate
MELROSE
Woman accused of stealing
car, having drug equipment
Republican U.S. Rep. David Jolly and Democratic
Congressman Alan Grayson aren’t waiting to win their parties’
Senate nominations before agreeing to one-on-one debates.
Each candidate announced Tuesday they would meet for four
debates around the state, regardless of the fact Jolly still has
four other Republicans to beat and Grayson has to defeat U.S.
Rep. Patrick Murphy before either can get on the November
ballot.
Their campaigns announced the decision simultaneously,
each declaring the other their parties’ front-runners based on a
poll released this week. The first two debates will be in the
Tampa Bay area and Orlando, where Jolly and Grayson live.
The last two will be held in the Republican stronghold of
Jacksonville and South Florida, where Democrats dominate
elections.
A 30-year-old Gainesville woman was
arrested Friday morning and charged
with vehicle theft and drug equipment
possession.
said the victim called 911 to report her
vehicle stolen, told officers Veronica
Parler took a set of keys earlier in the evening and said the suspect has taken her vehicle in the past.
The victim told deputies she wanted to pursue charges, the report
said.
The report said officers found the vehicle in
Interlachen in front of a Parler
Geneve Street residence.
Officers sa id t hey
found the suspect inside the residence and
arrested her, the report said.
Officers said they found five syringes in
the suspect’s jacket pocket, the report
said.
Parler was taken to the Putnam County
Jail and held on $2,012 bond.
Florida fracking bill
dies in Senate committee
A state Senate bill that would require the state Department
of Environmental Protection to study and create regulations for
fracking is essentially dead.
The Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday refused to
reconsider the bill after narrowly voting against it last week.
The bill was kept alive on a procedural move, but the sponsor
didn’t ask the committee to vote on it again after it was clear it
wouldn’t be approved.
Opponents had concerns the method of oil and gas drilling
could contaminate groundwater. Supporters said the practice of
using chemicals and water to blast through rock to get to oil and
gas underneath is already legal, and the bill would ensure it
was done safely.
INTERLACHEN
PCSO: Man accused of
taking roommate’s car
Public schools could get
OK to use alternative tests
A 53-year-old Interlachen man was
arrested and charged with vehicle theft
after taking his roommate’s car without
permission.
A Putnam County Sheriff’s Office
report said the victim
told deputies Demry
Bridges woke him up
several times and asked
to borrow his car.
The victim told officers he told the suspect
he could not borrow the
car and to leave him
alone, the report said.
Bridges
The victim said the
suspect took the keys
and left the residence, the report said.
Deputies found the car in the area of
State Road 20 and County Road 21, the
report said.
Officers said they stopped the vehicle,
and the suspect told them his driver’s
license was suspended, the report said.
Bridges was arrested and taken to the
Putnam County Jail. He is being held on
$1,508 bond.
State Surgeon General Armstrong’s confirmation
vote delayed in Senate committee for second time
A push to let Florida’s public schools use alternative tests is
moving ahead in the state Senate.
A Senate panel voted Tuesday for a bill that would give school
districts the option of switching from the Florida Standards
Assessment to tests such as the SAT and ACT.
The bill now moves to the full Senate, but it’s unclear if it will
pass. The session is scheduled to end March 11.
The Florida Standards Assessment was first administered
last spring. It’s based on standards linked to the national standards called Common Core that some parents oppose.
Sen. Don Gaetz said the bill would offer schools and parents a
choice.
Education Commissioner Pam Stewart has already questioned the proposal. Stewart said college admission tests such
as the SAT and ACT are not aligned to Florida’s standards.

Dear Harriette: I’m seven
months pregnant. I’m nervous
because from here on out, I’m
responsible for someone other
than myself. As this pregnancy
progresses, my boyfriend and I
seem to do the opposite. He’s
always ready to pick a fight and
catches an attitude over everything. I thought I was the pregnant one ...
Last night, I went through his
phone. I know the saying, “Look
for something hard enough, and
you’ll find it.” Well, I did. I found
texts between him and another
woman. It looks as though he
starts these arguments so he can
leave to “cool off,” so while I
think he’s at his friend’s house,
he’s really at this girl’s house. It
hurt to know that’s how he acts
just so he can be with her.
I’m trying to stop stressing over
it because I don’t want to lose my
baby. I’m so mad, hurt and saddened at the fact that instead of
being with his pregnant girlfriend,
he wants to be with the next
girl. I’m still pretty; I haven’t let
know she will want to smoke,
drink and do drugs. This lifestyle
isn’t really for me anymore, but I
love my friend too much to drop
her. I want to see her, but I need
to figure out how to stand up for
myself when she calls me “old
and boring” for not wanting to
do drugs on a Wednesday. I have
been known to be a pushover,
and I want to know how to assert
myself as someone who can have
fun — and stay sober on a weekday. — Party Animal, Syracuse,
New York
Dear Party Animal: It’s time
to have a grown-up talk with your
friend. Tell her you love her, but
that college is over and you have
figured out that you can’t live
recklessly and perform on the job.
Tell her she can call you whatever
names she wants, but it is time to
be responsible. Recommend that
she take your lead. If she doesn’t,
don’t go out with her anymore.
Choose the life you want to live,
and then live it. Then you won’t
be a pushover at all.

heart queen, how should the play
proceed?
The first three bids in the auction are easy, but North has a
close rebid. Here, a jump to three
no-trump would not work if East
leads a heart; and bidding it with
ace-third could wrong-side the
contract if South has queen-doubleton, for example. If willing to
force to game (certainly reasonable with 12 points, two aces and
one king), two hearts, fourth-suit
game-forcing, is a better rebid.
Then, when South shows 5-5 in
the minors, North can support
diamonds. South bids game with
his minimum.
South apparently has only two
losers: one spade and one diamond. But given the bad minorsuit splits, he must be careful not
to get locked out of his clubs.
After winning with the heart
ace, declarer should run the diamond 10, which West ought to
duck. Then, when the diamond
nine wins the next trick, South
must be careful to cash dummy’s
club honors before leading a
third trump.
West wins, but cannot stop
declarer from reaching his hand
with a heart ruff, drawing trumps,
and running clubs.
