ORLANDO — New bonus
payments aimed at attracting
and keeping good teachers in
Florida have gone disproportionately to those who work
with students from affluent
families, an analysis by a
Florida newspaper has found.
Teachers who received
bonuses under the $44 million
“best and brightest” teacher
scholarship program that
started last year were more
than twice as likely to work
with students from affluent
families than with students
living in poverty, the Orlando
Sentinel reported Sunday.
The report highlights how
the bonuses have failed to
address the state’s long-standing goal of more equitably distributing quality educators.
The newspaper’s analysis of
education data on the statewide program found that for
every 954 students in a high
poverty Florida school this
year, there was only one bonuswinning teacher. But the ratio
was far less for those schools
with students from more affluent homes, one “Best and

Sen. Elizabeth
Warren to star
as comic hero
By Steve Leblanc
Associated Press
BOSTON — Her parents
didn’t hail from the planet
Krypton, and she was never
bitten by a radioactive spider,
but that hasn’t stopped
Elizabeth Warren from starring as a comic book hero.
“Female Force: Elizabeth
Warren” tells the true-life story
of Warren’s rise from Oklahoma
schoolgirl to U.S. senator and
champion of the liberal wing of
the Democratic Party.
The 22-page comic is the
brainchild of Portland, Ore.based publishers Storm
Entertainment and is part of a
larger series designed to celebrate the lives of notable
women. Past subjects include
Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi,
Madonna, Sarah Palin,
Condoleezza Rice, Facebook
executive Cheryl Sandberg,
Nancy Reagan, Tina Fey and
Caroline Kennedy.
The most popular comic in
the series told Michelle
Obama’s life story, and sold
about 75,000 copies. There
have been about 70 titles in all.
Publisher Darren Davis
said he was drawn to Warren’s
story because of the role
strong women played in his
life.
“She’s a woman that has it
all. She has the family. She
has the career. She has a
strong work ethic,” he said.
“We thought she had a really
strong story.”
Instead of leaping over tall
buildings in tights and a cape,
or battling mad jokers and villainous penguins, Warren’s
political superpowers are
focused on something she sees
as even more threatening: the
Wall Street and Capitol Hill
power brokers she holds
responsible for hollowing out
the middle class.
The bulk of the book steers
clear of ideological battles and
instead zeroes in on Warren’s
personal and professional
struggles, from hardscrabble
childhood and young mom to
law student, law professor and
candidate for Ted Kennedy’s
old U.S. Senate seat.
“We really want to showcase these people’s lives and
where they came from rather
than making some political
statement,” he said.
Warren had nothing to do
with the book, and learned
about it only after publication.
She hasn’t publicly commented on her turn as comic book
hero.
Matt Reyes, manager of
New England Comics, said
there’s a niche audience for a
biographical comic book that
tells Warren’s story, especially
in her hometown of
Cambridge.
“I have customers who
teach politics and ethics
across the street” who would
be interested in the book, said
Reyes, whose store is in
Harvard Square opposite the
Ivy League campus and its
Kennedy School of
Government. Warren taught
at Harvard Law School.
“It’s a fairly specific audience,” added Reyes, who said
he has spotted Warren in the
neighborhood. The store is
about a mile from Warren’s
home.
Some would just as soon
paint Warren as a comic book
villain instead of hero.
Massachusetts Republican
Party Chairman Kirsten
Hughes said Warren “would
raise taxes faster than a
speeding bullet and … her big
government agenda would
trample small business with a
single bound.”
“A comic book seems like
the perfect way to tell the
story of a politician so
detached from reality,”
Hughes said.
Davis — whose other biographical comics range from
Donald Trump to Pope Francis
— has high hopes for the
Warren comic. He said there’s

10-year sentences.
“The (Clean Power Plan) was finalized in
October of 2015, and at that point, it opened
up a window for lawsuits. And Seminole,
along with 38 other electric cooperatives, 28
states across the country and over 150
chambers of commerce ... joined together
and asked the D.C. circuit court to throw out
the Clean Power Plan as illegal and improperly issued. ... For the first time ever, when
we asked the United States Supreme Court to
review our request, and you all’s request,
they granted the request.”
— Seminole Electric Cooperative spokesman
Ryan Hart about Seminole’s lawsuit against the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to
reduce carbon emissions in the U.S. The plan, if
implemented, would likely lead to the closure of
Seminole’s Palatka plant.
“We’re looking to buy land right here in
Palatka. We’re looking to put up new construction. We have a site we’re look to go forward with.”
— Premier Development Partners Senior Vice
President Kevin Callahan about his company’s
plans to create jobs in Palatka.
“We shouldn’t be legislating morality, anyway. What we should be doing is looking at
the law and determine if there is a rational
relationship from a health, safety and welfare position to determine if there is a need
for a prohibition.”
— Palatka Mayor Terrill Hill during a discussion about potentially eliminating a ban on
Sunday morning alcohol sales in Palatka.
“You can very well have people who are
inebriated coming out of the establishments,
doing what inebriated people do on the
streets, relieving themselves in front of children coming out of the church and church
members. That happens. That happens on
Saturdays.”
— Former City Commissioner Allegra
Kitchens, who opposes Sunday morning alcohol
sales in the city.
“What we’re trying to do is involve people
who are generally interested in animal services. (Committee members would be) making recommendations about programs,
grants and how we’re dealing with animals.
We’re forever dealing with entities and trying to make things better.”
— Putnam County Planning and Development
Services Director Brian Hammons, who said the
Animal Services Advisory Committee still has
vacancies.
“The students come here to make
American friends and live the American lifestyle. Like, having a campfire and making
s’mores. The simplest things that we take for

Illegal immigration may be
Mexico’s largest industry
S
ome politicians say we can, while others say it would be impossible, to
round up and send home about 13
million Mexicans living illegally somewhere
in this country.
No government agency in this country
actually knows where they are or what they
are doing, but we know they exist. No
doubt, some are being protected by employers so they can hold on to cheap labor to do
menial jobs our idle people refuse to do.
However, we can’t totally blame them
because of the disparity in economics
between the two nations.
Their numbers are shrouded in government ambiguity much like the accounting of
how many people in this country are unemployed. If a person’s name is not on a government list as seeking employment, they
are not unemployed. They simply don’t
exist. That seems to cause the administration to feel a little more comfortable about
misinforming the public by stating unemployment is running about 5 percent when
it is actually more like 20 percent.
A government functionary has been
described as someone who looks for problems to justify his existence, finding them
whether they exist or not, diagnosing them
incorrectly and then applying the wrong
remedy. There is no better example of such
government stupidity than the Fast and
Furious ploy from 2006-2011, when a lot of
confiscated weapons were allowed to be surreptitiously sent to Mexico by our government security people to see if any of them
came back across the border.
Yep! They did and were used to kill border guard personnel. But, as usual, nobody
got fired for such gross ineptness. That is

deductions for taxes, social security, etc.
Now, consider the exchange rate of pesos
in Mexico for American dollars is running
about $17.50. So a Mexican, taking advantage of all the freebies available to the disadvantaged in this country, manages to live
on $200 a week. He sends the other $200 to
a bank account in Mexico. In one year, he

illegal dog-fighting ring. As an animal lover,
I was delighted this cruelty toward dogs was

However, nothing has been done, starting
with the night in question. Those participants ran, leaving their cars behind. Why
were those vehicles not impounded and used
for evidence and identification? We would
have had a record of those involved, plus the

Manager Mark Giblin said
this weekend’s activities
would be a great chance to
highlight the value of the
earth and a perfect opportunity to showcase the park.
Earlier this year, the Piney
Bluff park entrance – the
park’s main entrance
– opened, allowing park visitors easier access Dunns
Creek and all its land and
water trails.
Giblin said the park hosts a
fall festival, open houses and
a few smaller events every
year. He said he would like to
host other large events similar to the scale of Earth Day
and the fall festival.
But he said he wants to
approach hosting events gradually so the park can increase
its staff and volunteer base.
“We’ve hosted open houses
before,” Giblin said. “This is
the first time we’ve opened it
up and had other agencies at
the park. We’re really hoping
this takes off and becomes an
annual event hosted at the
park.”

Dear Harriette: I am a recent
college graduate who has a lot on
her plate. I feel completely flummoxed, and I am just trying to get
stability. I constantly worry about
my rent, job, savings, bills and
health. This leaves me no time
for my friends. I love my support
group, but I have had a very rough
year. My friends think I hate them
because I haven’t spent any time
with them. I feel horrible, but I
need to focus on myself so I don’t
sink.
I hate how I’ve neglected my
friends, but I just don’t have
time (or money) to dedicate to
going to bars and nightclubs with
them. I’ve been getting fewer and
fewer messages from my friends
because I’ve disappeared to work
on myself. How can I communicate that I’ll be back soon? It
may already be too late. Everyone
seems to have figured out life and
moved on without me. — Stuck in

She claims I “don’t understand”
because I am currently happily

of heartbreak.
I want to help bring my sister
back up, but she doesn’t want
my advice. How can I help her
without her mentioning that I
can’t sympathize with her? I feel
incredibly stuck. — Uplifting
Times, Washington, D.C.
Dear Uplifting Times: You
can be a great listener. Your love
for your sister and your ability to listen without judgment are
what she needs most right now.
Try to not offer advice. You do
not know what to say to her to
heal her heart. Instead, just bite
your tongue about relationships
for now. You can invite her to do
fun things. You can also contact
her single friends and suggest
that they invite her to hang out.
Hopefully, time will help her to
welcome happiness again.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
If you are asked to deal with

there is one particular friend who

Remember that it takes a while for

broke her heart.
I am completely open to letting her vent to me or ask for my
advice. However, anytime I try to
Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, a
German-American social philosopher and historian who died
in 1973, said, “Logic protects us
against what we say having a
double meaning.”
The game of bridge is built on
logic. For example, in today’s
auction, what does East’s double of three no-trump logically
mean?
Yes, it must be a penalty double. But is there anything else?
It asks West to lead the first
suit bid by the dummy; here, a
spade.
East’s double is speculative, but
reasonable. He doesn’t expect the
opponents to make an overtrick,
and it might need a spade lead to
defeat the contract. Which spade
should West lead?
South responded with one-notrump forcing, then invited game
with two no-trump.
This is one of the situations
when the highest spade should be
led — here, the nine. To start with
the two risks allowing declarer to
duck the trick to East and leave
him unable to continue the suit
profitably.
In this deal from a social game,
South can survive if he wins the
first trick, but he must read the
cards accurately. If he ducks the
first trick, which is not so silly,
thinking that West might have
only two spades, the contract can
be defeated. West leads a second
spade. Declarer will probably
win with dummy’s ace, cross to
hand with a club, take two diamond finesses, lead a diamond
to the ace, and exit with a heart.
East wins, cashes his second high
heart, then endplays the dummy
with either black suit; say, clubs.
The defenders take three spades
and two hearts.

Meet Trump’s maxed-out Clinton, Trump seek to quiet
donors, believers in the cause critics in New York primaries
7 A PA L AT K A DA I LY N E W S • T U E S DAY, A P R I L 1 9 , 2 0 1 6
By Julie Bykowicz
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Letantia
Bussell, a Beverly Hills dermatologist, said she appreciates
Donald Trump’s “unique personality.” Peter Zieve, an engineer in Washington, loves
Trump because “the guy’s a person, not a robot.” Daniel Arias,
an El Salvadoran immigrant in
Florida, is positive Trump will
put an end to newcomers “coming here and begging for food
stamps.”
They are the few, the proud,
the maxed-out Trump donors.
The leader of the Republican
presidential contest ridicules
donors and insists he is a billionaire who wants to “self-fund.”
Yet there’s a prominent “donate”
button on his campaign website,
and he has raised more than
$9.5 million, including from
about 200 people who have
given $2,700, the maximum
allowed by law for the primary
election.
Because it’s such a relatively
small sample — a tiny sliver
compared with Hillary Clinton’s
nearly 29,000 maxed-out donors
— it’s impossible to reach broad
conclusions about Trump’s
benefactors. Still, these are
arguably the most loyal of
Trump fans, and their interviews with the Associated Press
reveal unexpected layers of the
political newcomer’s appeal.
They’re both attracted and
repelled by Trump’s inflammatory comments. Just like the
thousands who attend Trump’s
massive rallies, these well-off
fans want dramatic change and
see Trump as the only person
capable of making it happen.
And far from being embarrassed
by their candidate, the donors
seem to love converting their
friends and associates to the
cause.
HELP NOT WANTED:
First things first: Why did the
donors decide to give to a candidate who belittles them? Trump
recently said of his campaign
donors’ help, “Whatever. It’s
peanuts.”
Bussell didn’t set out to give
the candidate money. She wanted to write him a letter of
encouragement in August. But
when she saw the donate option
on his web page, she decided
financial help was a better way
to show support.
Donating is taking action.
And just as Phillip Braunstein
likes politicians who “walk the
walk, not only talk the talk,” he
felt compelled to do more than
just say he likes Trump. That’s
why the 33-year-old Los Angeles
real estate business owner laid
down his $2,700 in October.
WHO’S GIVING: The list of
maxed-out donors includes some
characters. Literally. There’s
Alice Chapman, a reality television star and the wife of Dog the
Bounty Hunter. There’s Jim
Shore, a well-known artist who
sells his figurines on QVC. Kelly
Roberts has also chipped in.
She’s the mother of two “television personalities,” wife of a millionaire frozen-burrito king and
co-owner of the historic Mission
Inn Hotel and Spa in Riverside,
Calif.
Most people who part ways
with several thousand dollars
are on firm financial footing.
Some of Trump’s donors are
downright rich. John Ferolito,
who co-founded AriZona iced
tea, gave in July. And Scott
Shleifer, head of the multi-billion-dollar New York hedge fund
Tiger Global, ponied up $2,700
last year, a few months before
he purchased an $18 million
Park Avenue condo.
The AP culled the names of
Trump’s top donors from his
public Federal Election
Commission filings, which are
complete through the end of
February.
WHAT THEY LIKE: It’s all
about immigration for Arias,
himself an immigrant.
The 75-year-old real estate
investor in Coconut Grove said
he came to the country legally,
thanks to sisters already here
and visas that made it easier for
family members to emigrate,
some 30 years ago.
“He’s the only one who is
going to do something to stop
illegal immigration,” said Arias,
who contends many come here
for the government benefits and
“to steal and sell drugs.” Trump
famously kicked off his campaign by saying some Mexican
immigrants who entered the
country illegally are “rapists.”
Arias is far from alone in parroting Trump’s saltier language
and buzz words. More than one
said they like Trump because
they think he will make America
great again, which happens to
be his slogan, emblazoned on
red ball caps.
Al Gamble, a Connecticut restaurant owner, said he gave to
Trump in October because he is
tired of families like the Bushes
and the Clintons, who have
“raped this country to assist in
the globalist’s agenda.”
LIKE CANDIDATE, LIKE
DONOR: And some of the
donors seem to have adopted
Trump’s tone on his opponents.
“I think Trump has the best
chance of winning, and I only
back winners,” Braunstein said.
He liked Marco Rubio and others, but asked himself, “Why
would I spend my money on a
loser?”
Many who spoke with AP said
they could do without some of
Trump’s incendiary rhetoric but
didn’t hold that against him.
“I love the Trump ideas,”
Gamble said. “The way he delivers that message is terrible.”
Zieve, an engineer who said
he conducts business around the
world and is a longtime
Republican Party donor, said
he’s “not proud of some the silly
stuff he’s said.” He cited Trump’s
recent assertion if abortions are
outlawed, the women who have
them should be punished
(Trump quickly walked that
back).
“Sometimes I wish he would
put a zipper on it,” Zieve said.
At the same time, that noholds-barred approach has kept
him riveted — and supportive.
Zieve gave $2,700 at the end of
February.
“Every time something comes
out of his mouth, it’s exactly
something that would come out
of my mouth,” he said. One
example: When Mexican leaders
dismissed Trump’s demand they
pay for his proposed border wall,
Trump declared the wall “just
got 10 feet higher.”
“Bingo! That’s the right
answer. I love that guy!” Zieve
said.
WINNING OVER
OTHERS: Bussell, the dermatologist, said she gave because
she likes Trump, though she
hasn’t met him. She’s from New
Jersey and said she spends lots
of time explaining to her West
Coast friends — and Beverly
Hills patients — Trump has “a
certain sense of humor” and
doesn’t precisely mean everything he says.
“He’s refreshing. He has an
incredible loyalty to our country
and a strong desire to see the
people of our country do well
and be happy,” she said. “We
don’t need more of the same. We
need a change. It’s as if the
country is in need of a significant oil change, and he is the
best mechanic.”
Richard Worthington, who is
in Las Vegas real estate development and describes himself as
a “bleeding-heart conservative,”
said he readily engages friends
on Trump — and often finds
they end up liking him. Trump’s
plain talk about trade deals
being bad for the U.S. is a big
point of agreement, he said.
“Even my liberal girlfriend actually likes him,” he said. “She’s
from New York.”
PERSONAL TIES: The first
person to donate $2,700 to
Trump’s presidential bid, weeks
before he even glided down the
escalator in his New York tower
and declared his candidacy, was
Pamela Newman, a friend and a
longtime insurance provider for
Trump’s business.
The campaign has been good
to her, as well: Between June
and February, it paid the branch
of Aon Risk Services, where she
works, almost $300,000.
Yet not all of those who know
Trump and gave him money are
doing so for the usual reasons.
Joe Kaminkow, a well-known
game developer, met Trump
years ago when designing a slotmachine version of “The
Apprentice,” Trump’s hit TV
show.
So why the heck did
Kaminkow give Trump $2,700
in August?
“Well, I’m a Democrat, and I
feel like Hillary Clinton is the
most qualified person in the
race,” he said. “But I was so
entertained by what I saw from
the Republicans on TV that I
wanted to do my part to keep
that party going.”

Caridad Rioseco Alejandrez pleaded guilty
recently to making false claims.
Raul Rioseco was sentenced to a year and a
day in prison. His daughter faces up to 20 years
behind bars at sentencing in July in Key West.
Federal prosecutors said Raul Rioseco submitted claims based on supposed losses from his lobster fishing business. But evidence showed he
had long been retired. He received about $35,900
in phony claims.
Caridad Rioseco Alejandrez claimed her tax
preparation business suffered from the oil spill
because her commercial fishing customers lost
income.
Prosecutors said she obtained $55,000 in
fraudulent claims.

Ex-president of Broward teacher
union gets 5 years in prison
The former president of the Broward

prison for fraud and campaign finance violations.
Broward Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey
Levenson imposed the sentence Friday on
Patrick Santeramo, who ran the union for 11
years. A jury convicted Santeramo of multiple
charges in January.
The Broward state attorney’s office said
between 2001 and January 2012, Santeramo
diverted about $165,500 in union money to himself through a kickback scheme with a construction company. Santeramo was ordered to pay
$165,500 in restitution to a pair of insurance
companies.
Santeramo also made illegal campaign contributions by having 25 people make the donations and then reimbursing them with teacher
union money.

Brightest” teacher for every

The findings, says the newspaper, are similar to a study
done last year by the state
Department of Education and
national research. It shows
youngsters in high-poverty
schools are less likely to be
taught by talented teachers
than those on campuses serving more well-off families.
“Florida is definitely not
alone,” Marni Bromberg, senior
research associate at The
Education Trust, a
Washington, D.C., education
advocacy group told the
Sentinel. “We see similar trends
in states and districts across
the country.”
The newspaper reports the
“best and brightest” program
has been controversial since its
creation a year ago, noting that
teachers’ scores on the ACT or
SAT exams—taken when they
were applying to college—are
factored in when determining
bonuses.
State lawmakers told the
newspaper the bonuses, which
before the U.S. Supreme
Court legalized gay marriage
across the country.
Attorney General Pam
Bondi, whose office led the
fight to keep the ban intact,
did not challenge the latest
motions by the lawyers representing the gay couples seeking payment of attorney fees.
Lawyers for Bondi argued earlier the U.S. Supreme Court
decision rendered the Florida
case “moot” and there was no
reason for Hinkle to take any
further action.
The only comment from
Whitney Ray, a spokesman
for Bondi, was “we respect the
judge’s decision.”
Florida first banned samesex marriages nearly two
decades ago, and voters reinforced that ban when they
passed a constitutional
amendment in 2008. Bondi
maintained she had a constitutional duty to defend the
ban because it was approved
by voters.
In some of the initial court
filings, lawyers for Bondi’s
office argued that recognizing
same-sex marriages performed in other states would
disrupt Florida’s existing
marriage laws and “impose
significant public harm.”
require both top ACT or SAT
scores and a “highly effective”
evaluation, attract and keep
smart teachers in schools. The
Sentinel reported winning
teachers this year each received
$8,256.27.
It found that 5,332 teachers
qualified for the bonuses last
fall. In its analysis, the newspaper examined if a teacher
taught at a Title 1 school, which
receives federal anti-poverty
money because they enroll children from low-income families.
About 27 percent of the
teachers who got bonuses work
in Title 1 schools, which enroll
about 46 percent of the Florida’s
public school students, the
Sentinel analysis found.
The state Department of
Education tallied its test-score
data to determine which teachers did the best job helping students learn critical math and
reading skills. The Sentinel
reported its list of 9,642 “high
impact” teachers barely overlaps with the “Best and
Brightest” roster, noting just
393 teachers appeared on both
lists.
Critics of the “Best and
Brightest” program include the
Florida Education Association,
which has called it “discriminatory and short-sighted.”
“(Legislators) need to focus
on real ways to recruit and
retain the best teachers in
Florida, and give up on unproven, insulting schemes like Best
and Brightest,” said Florida
Education Association
President Joanne McCall in a
statement following the end of
this year’s legislative session in
Tallahassee.
The Sentinel reported state
Rep. Erik Fresen, R-Miami,
who led the effort to create the
“Best and Brightest” program,
could not persuade lawmakers
to provide an extra $1,000
bonus to winning teachers in
Title 1 schools. Lawmakers,
said the newspapers, earmarked another $49 million to
continue it in the 2016-2017
school year.

1. The NBA Playoffs begin with
the Golden State Warriors and San
Antonio Spurs flexing muscle with
blowout victories, the Cleveland
Cavaliers starting out with a win
and the Indiana Pacers stunning
the Toronto Raptors in Saturday’s
opening game.
Our topic of discussion: 1. The
good, the bad and the unexpected.
The teams that are supposed to
dominate in the first round of the
playoffs did so, most notably the
Warriors and Spurs, the teams with
the best records in the league.
Houston’s going to present a physical problem to the Warriors, and
Stephen Curry’s ankle issues may
cause more consternation than first
thought to happen. The Warriors
are still a far better team, but any
opening Houston can have may
make this a long series.
San Antonio just might yawn its
way to the second round after dusting off the Memphis Grizzlies. As a
matter of fact, it may prove to be a
positive for Spurs coach Gregg
Popovich to rest his players going
into the next round. He will tell you
they are serious and have a “businesslike attitude” toward the first
round. But if Memphis looks anything close to what it did on Sunday,
this thing will end rather quickly.
Same thing for the Oklahoma
City Thunder, who have two of the
best players in the league with
Kevin Durant and Russell
Westbrook, and looked bored for a
good amount of that blowout of the
Dallas Mavericks. Their head coach,
Rick Carlisle, had to defend his
team to a reporter that the opening
game was nothing more than “one
game” and that there wasn’t a sense
of panic now. There’s a long way to
go, in other words.
And for a No. 4 vs. No. 5 series,
the Los Angeles Clippers look more
like they’re playing a 2 vs. 7 or even
1 vs. 8 series with the Portland
Trail Blazers, who looked overwhelmed Sunday night in a 115-95
loss.
In the East, the top-seeded
Cavaliers won, but found the
Detroit Pistons aren’t going to play
like a No. 8 seed. Reggie Jackson,
the Cavs found out, is awfully
tough, and all three stars they possess – LeBron James, Kevin Love
and Kyrie Irving – are going to have
give all every single game of at least
this series. It’s doubtful the Pistons
can continue shooting like they did
in Game 1 (15 3-pointers), but you
never know.

SJR STATE SOFTBALL
Vikings do their job, but don’t get help
Sweep Saints, but miss
out on trip to state
By Mark Blumenthal
Palatka Daily News
GAINESVILLE – The St. Johns
River State College softball team
picked a perfect time for its first MidFlorida Conference doubleheader
sweep of the season.
Unfortunately for the Vikings,
Florida State College-Jacksonville
picked a perfect time to foil hopes of a
state tournament berth.
In a long and sometimes peculiar
doubleheader Sunday at Santa Fe
College, the Vikings won both games,
benefitting from a Little League home
run that plated three runs in the top of
the seventh inning for a 6-5 win in the
opener, then scoring six times in the
sixth inning for a 10-5 win in the nightcap.
However, it was all for naught.
Though the Vikings helped their
cause immensely, FSC-J stood up to
the challenge by sweeping state-tournament bound and host Seminole on
Sunday, 3-1 and 1-0, to claim the
fourth and final tournament berth
from the Mid-Florida Conference with
a 10-14 mark. The Vikings finished
MFC play 9-15.
“We still have one more doubleheader at home on Thursday with Eastern
Florida State,” said Vikings coach Jill
Semento, who with a split on Thursday
can become the program’s first coach
in the fastpitch era to record a winning
season in their first year.
The Vikings go into that doubleheader with a 26-25 record, tied for the
second-most wins with the 2007 state
tournament team, only trailing last
year’s 33-22 team.
“We did all that we could do. Our
girls played amazing ball, but in the
end, it wasn’t enough,” Semento said.
District Baseball
Under blue skies, the Vikings and
Saints (21-31, 7-17) played far-fromstellar softball in the five hours and 30
minutes. In the end of both games,
though, the Vikings found a way.
The first-game finish left many with
dropped jaws.
Trailing 5-3 going into the top of the
seventh, winning pitcher Chris
Marasa (12-10) began the frame with a
bloop single to center field. Sydney
Shows sacrificed her to second base
and another bloop single, this one by
backup catcher Jordan Phillips, put
runners on first and third.

Lights-Out Game
Crescent City crushes Wildwood; Peniel’s season ends
By Andy Hall
Palatka Daily News
C
CRESCENT CITY
rescent City played lights-out baseball
Monday even though the lights never
came on – not literally at Kelly Borgh
Field and not figuratively for winless
Wildwood.
Brett Chesbro had a triple, a single and four RBI
to highlight a 13-run first inning as the Raiders
ripped the Wildcats 21-1 in the first round of the
District 8-1A tournament in a 6 o’clock game that
ended early enough for the school to save on its electric bill.
It was the third such beating of Wildwood this
season for Crescent City, which improved to 7-16
and moved into a Wednesday semifinal at Fort
Meade against the Miners, the No. 1 seed in the
southern half of the district. The Raiders are No. 2
in the north, having drummed Wildwood 22-0 and
22-1 during the regular season.
That being the case, it would have been easy for
them slack off Monday, but coach Clarence
Williams was pleased that they didn’t.
“I was proud that we maintained focus, even
toward the end,” said Williams, who emptied his
dugout by the third inning of a game that was
stopped in the middle of the fifth on the 10-run rule.
“I don’t know what to say about (Wildwood).”
While the Wildcats (0-14) apparently are struggling with the same youth that led them to suspend
their varsity football program last fall, the Raiders
started an all-freshman infield Monday along with
another ninth-grader – Chesbro – in right field.
Crescent City collected 13 hits to go with nine
Wildwood errors. Two of the errors were on throws
back to the mound from a catcher who quit running
halfway to first after grounding to short in the
fourth inning. Trevon Welcome pitched all five
innings for the Wildcats, hitting five Raiders and
walking three.
See DISTRICT, Page 3B
Santa Fe won the trophy on
Sunday. St. Johns River State
College won confidence on Monday.
The Vikings turned four straight
walks and Andrew Williamson’s tworun single into a three-run ninth
inning for a 6-5 victory Monday over
the Saints, one day after Santa Fe
beat Daytona State to end St. Johns’
three-year run atop the Mid-Florida
Conference.
Both the Vikings and Saints are
headed for the state tournament –
third-place Central Florida could
join them if it wins a postseason
play-in game – but even though their
places were secure before Monday,
both took this one seriously. Each
pitched its ace, Andy Toelken for
SJR State and Trent Johnson for
Santa Fe. Emotion ran high in the
ninth inning and beyond.
St. Johns coach Ross Jones welcomed the win, which kept the Saints
from sweeping the season series.
“This game was about confidence
for us,” he said. “We needed to beat
these guys for confidence. We’re in
opposite brackets (at state), but we
could see them Day 3 or 4.
“Both teams played well. It’s what
you expect when you see two nationally ranked teams.. If you asked me
or (Santa Fe coach) Johnny Wiggs,
we’d say we were proud of how we
competed with everything all set.”
Santa Fe (37-7, 19-3 MFC) is
ranked first in the NJCAA poll. St.
Johns (38-10, 16-6) is 13th.
Toelken took a 1-0 lead into the
seventh before he surrendered a
three-run homer to Robbie Hanlon.
Toelken left after a leadoff walk – his
only walk – in the eighth.
“Toelken pitched his heart out. He
made one bad pitch and (Hanlon)
rode it out,” Jones said.
The Vikings turned singles by
Nick Koslowski and Matthew
Rhodes, a bases-loaded walk to
Hunter Alexander and Cole Perry’s
RBI fielder’s choice into two runs
and a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the seventh. The Saints regained the lead
with two runs in the top of the eighth
and a spectacular double play helped
them get out of the bottom half.
But there’s no defense for walks.
Call Graham (4-1) walked four
straight to begin the ninth – the
fourth walk brought in Wes Weeks to
make it 5-4 – and went 2-0 to
Williamson before Wiggs had a
reliever ready. Bailey Metcalf’s first

moving on to the Region 2-2A meet a week

n A.J. Jara, the only boy going, has been
near the top of the standings in his two main
events, the 200-meter dash and the long
jump.
n Freshman Emonei Wynn has been strong
in both the 100-meter high hurdles and 300meter intermediate hurdles and will also look
to make her mark in both the long jump and
the triple jump.
n Bri King, a sophomore, will look to make
her mark in both the shot put and the discus.
n Artia Williams, another younger member of the tam, will compete in the 400-meter

No. 2 seed Toronto, which is supposed to
be the main threat to the Cavaliers, looked
hardly like a contender against the Indiana
Pacers, a No. 7 seemingly making up for
lost time after losing Paul George with a
damaged ACL. He came back this year and
on Saturday, he put up 33 points and six
assists in a stunning 100-90 win.
The most fun team outside of the
Warriors and Spurs, perhaps, are the No. 3
seeded Miami Heat. Dwyane Wade is a wily

meets, Thompson said he has tried to go
heavy on some days in practice, light on other
days. On Monday, he went light.
“We had Emonei work on the triple jump
and I had Bri making six throws in her
events,” he said. “Otherwise, it was a light
day.”
Though the Raiders will not be a threat in
the team standings as the host school and
South Sumter could be the favorites,
Thompson thinks his kids are set to move on
to the next step.
“We’ve been doing event training, getting
techniques down for the kids going to practice
instead of general track practice,” Thompson
said. “It’s much more organized.”
The top four performers in each event move
on to the Region 2-2A meet, where Crescent
City qualifiers will see a lot of competitors
from Palatka, which dominated the District
5-2A meet on Thursday in Gainesville.
“We’re preparing for a long day (today),”
Thompson added. “We’ve got a lot of suntan
lotion to put on.”

Fernandez, Marlins stop Nationals
MIAMI – Jose Fernandez stomped off the
mound after an arduous second inning cursing and
smacking himself on the head with his glove,
which sent his sweat flying.
Blame the outburst on a lack of control.
The Miami Marlins ace endured early wildness
before regaining his command and his winning
touch at home to beat the Washington Nationals
6-1 on Monday night.
Fernandez (1-1) threw 54 pitches in the first two
innings but didn’t allow a hit until the fifth and
made it through six.
“He’s just so emotional,” manager Don Mattingly
said. “He settles down, and he starts pitching different.”
Fernandez improved to 18-1 at Marlins Park,
with the lone loss in his previous home start.
His victory was the first this season for a
Marlins starter. Miami won at home for the first
time this year in six tries.
Washington’s Bryce Harper went 0 for 2 with a
sacrifice fly. He had homered in his previous four
games.
JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville Jaguars
have released veteran safety Sergio Brown, parting
ways with him a day before players report for the
team’s voluntary offseason conditioning program.
Brown started four games last season after signing a three-year contract worth $7 million in free
agency. He was due to make $2.25 million in 2016,
apparently too much for someone not in the mix for
a starting spot.
The Jaguars signed former Cleveland safety
Tashaun Gipson in March to solidify a secondary
that has been among the league’s worst in coach
Gus Bradley’s three seasons.

Warriors-Cavs final. But why not the Spurs
or the Thunder or the Pacers or the Heat?
Most people forget that long before the
Warriors became the hottest team in the
league that the best team to come out of the
West in the previous two seasons was the
Spurs. It may be one more run for the soonto-be 40-year-old Tim Duncan, along with
guard Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
The first round brings promise to the
teams that made it this far. After the first
weekend, I definitely want to see how this
evolves.

making up the slack. The Heat could be the
team that could make things tough on the
Cavaliers.
The most entertaining series – the one
that could go all seven games – is No. 4
Atlanta vs. No. 5 Boston. The Celtics have
played their best basketball at the end of
the season, and that makes the Hawks have
to work harder. The first game went the
Hawks’ way, 102-101, but don’t be surprised if the Celtics figure things out quickly.
The Warriors and Cavs should move on in
their opening series, but who comes along
with them is far more intriguing. Some of

PHILADELPHIA – A federal appeals court has
upheld an estimated $1 billion plan by the NFL to
settle thousands of concussion lawsuits filed by
former players, potentially ending a troubled
chapter in league history.
The decision released Monday comes nearly a
year after a district judge approved the revised
settlement. If there are no further appeals – either
to a full panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Philadelphia within two weeks, or the
Supreme Court within 90 days – former players
already diagnosed with brain injuries linked to
repeated concussions could begin receiving benefits within 3-4 months, a plaintiffs’ attorney said.
“I couldn’t stress enough the urgency of getting
this done,” said attorney Christopher Seeger. He
conceded the settlement was hardly perfect, but
two courts had now judged it fair.
Lawyer Steven F. Molo, who argued for several
former players opposed to the deal, said his clients
were disappointed and considering their options.
In a statement, an NFL spokesman called the
appeals court decisions “a significant step in
implementing the clubs’ commitment to provide
compensation to retired players who are experiencing cognitive or neurological issues.”
The settlement would cover more than 20,000
NFL retirees for the next 65 years. The league
estimates that 6,000 former players, or nearly
three in 10, could develop Alzheimer’s disease or
moderate dementia.
Fewer than 200 of those retirees opted out of the
settlement, while 99 percent approved.
As part of the settlement, the NFL admitted no
fault. A league official speaking to Congress
recently acknowledged for the first time a definite
link between football and chronic traumatic
encephalopathy, the degenerative brain disease
found in dozens of former players after their
deaths. But the appeals court said that admission
was not grounds to overturn the settlement.
“This settlement will provide significant and
immediate relief to retired players living with the
lasting scars of a NFL career … We must hesitate
before rejecting that bargain based on an unsupported hope that sending the parties back to the
negotiating table would lead to a better deal,”
Judge Thomas L. Ambro wrote for the unanimous
three-judge panel.
Triple Crown-winning trainer Bob Baffert says
Cupid has a breathing problem and won’t run in the
Kentucky Derby.
Baffert’s decision Monday comes two days after
Cupid finished 10th in the Arkansas Derby at
Oaklawn Park. Cupid won the Rebel Stakes and was
the favorite in Saturday’s race won by Creator.
Cupid came out of the race with an entrapped epiglottis, and Baffert says the gray colt was having
surgery Monday to clear the breathing passageway
at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington,
Kentucky.
The issue is not considered serious. Baffert said
Cupid “should be OK in a week” and would be under
consideration for the Preakness on May 21.
Baffert’s American Pharoah became the first
Triple Crown winner in 37 years in 2015. The trainer
still has Mor Spirit set to run in the Derby on May 7.

Father and son win
Save Rodman tourney
By Greg Walker
Daily News correspondent
In a field of 134 boats, the
father-son team of L.E. and
Preston Clark captured the 20th
Annual Save Rodman Bass
Tournament last Saturday at
Kenwood Landing on Rodman
Reservoir with a five-fish limit
of bass weighing a whopping
34.04 pounds, including the second largest fish of the tournament at 9.69 pounds.
The Clarks’ creel weighed
nearly 10 pounds more than the
second-place team of Brooks
Morrell of Hampton and Travis
Lain of Starke, who came to the
scales with a 24.6-pound limit.
After being handed the winner’s check for $1,800 and
another for $450 for their big
fish, L.E. and Preston told the
huge spectator crowd the methods used for landing their fish.
“We went through Buckman
Locks the first thing this morning and headed north to areas
near Palatka,” said Preston.
“We fished eel grass beds and
tree falls using Bass Assassin
“Boss Shiners,” a soft plastic,
five-inch swim bait.”
Preston went on the say the
fish were biting well, even with
the strong windy conditions that
lasted all day.
“We culled a lot of fish before
we returned to Rodman.”
The reservoir paid off big for
L.E when he boated the second
largest fish of the day.
“We moved along a shore line
where new growth was coming
up after the re-filling of the
pool,” said L.E. “The growth was
sparse and I was tossing a 3/8ounce, chartreuse/white-skirted
spinner bait in water from onehalf to three feet deep when the
big fish struck.”

John Boyles and Matt Goff of
Lake City were third with 24.21
pounds. The team stayed in the
reservoir flipping soft plastics in
hydrilla beds.
C.K. Ryan and John Reis of
Starke took fourth with 24.12
pounds. Flipping black/blue soft
plastics the duo also took their
fish in Rodman
“We had only one fish until
about 11 a.m., then it got better,’
they said. “It was an area we
found yesterday when the wind
wasn’t blowing like it has today.
We couldn’t see as well, but
managed to hold the boat.”
The big bass of the tournament came to the scales weighing 9.70 pounds, caught by
Justin and Clayton Woods, paying the Marion County anglers
$850. Their total weight was
23.8 pounds.
The tourney paid 19 places.
Following the weigh-in a raffle was held for dozens of sponsor-donated merchandise.

n In a game reflective of its
season, Peniel Baptist
Academy exited the District
3-2A tournament with a 6-1,
first-round loss to Warner
Christian at Ocala St. John
Lutheran.
The Warriors (6-15)
matched the Eagles with three
hits and took a 1-0 lead into
the fourth inning, only to see it
slip away on a series of mistakes.
“It was a mirror image of the
season. There were times
when we showed how we were
capable of playing, then the
inconsistency – inconsistency
pitching, inconsistency fielding,” said Peniel coach Terry
Goodwin.
The Warriors got on the
board in the third. Frankie
Comer singled with one out,
took second on a wild pitch
and scored on Austin
Spedden’s two-out single
between short and third.
Spedden was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double.
Vincent Dodge (2-7) got the
loss. He struck out seven but
walked four, one intentionally,
over the first five innings.
Associated Press
BOSTON — The Ethiopians
ran past the Kenyans on their
way to the Boston Marathon
finish line Monday and nearly
swept them off the victory
podium.
Lemi Berhanu Hayle won
the 120th edition of the men’s
race, and Atsede Baysa overcame a 37-second deficit on
the women’s side for Ethiopia’s
first-ever sweep of the world’s
most prestigious marathon.
Hayle finished in 2 hours,
12 minutes, 45 seconds to beat
defending champion Lelisa
Desisa by 47 seconds. Yemane
Tsegay was an additional 30
seconds back to round out an
all-Ethiopian top three.
“In sports, sometimes that
happens. But not always,”
said Desisa, who also won the
2013 race. “It is the performance on the day.”
Kenya had dominated the
Boston Marathon since the
professional era began in
1986, winning the men’s race
14 straight times from 19912004 and 20 out of 22 before
Desisa earned the first of his
two victories three years ago.
But the Kenyans have been
beset with doping problems.
The World Anti-Doping
Agency put the country’s athletics program on probation
after more than 40 athletes
tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs since
the 2012 Olympics, including
three-time Boston winner Rita
Jeptoo.
Instead, it was its East
African neighbor that had its
anthem played over Copley
Square — twice. Ethiopia
claimed its sixth title in the
men’s race — including three
of the last four — to go with
six more in the distaff division.
Hayle pulled away from
Desisa as they crossed over
the Massachusetts Turnpike
heading into Kenmore Square.
He tapped his chest as he ran
down Boylston Street, held his
arms out to bask in the cheers
of the crowd and then, after
crossing the finish line, did a
celebratory skip-jump.
Baysa trailed by 37 seconds
at the 35-kilometer checkpoint
before chasing down Tirfi
Tsegaye on Beacon Street in
Brookline, two miles from the
finish line. The two-time
Chicago Marathon champion
won by 44 seconds in 2:29:19.
Joyce Chepkirui was third
— the lone Kenyan to medal.
Most of the top Americans,
including 2014 winner Meb
Keflezighi, skipped the race
after running in the U.S.
Olympic trials in February.
Other countries pick their
Olympic teams by committee,
and the performances in
Boston could help Monday’s
top finishers earn a ticket to
Rio de Janeiro.
“This is a major marathon,”
Baysa said through an interpreter. “We don’t know what
they are thinking, but we are
confident they will select me.”
Zachary Hine of Dallas was
the top U.S. man, finishing
10th. Neely Spence Gracey, of
Superior, Colorado, was the
first American woman to finish, coming in ninth.
Gracey was born into marathoning: Her father was the
No. 2 American in Boston in
1989; the next year she was
born on race day while he was
running. She and Sarah
Crouch, of Blowing Rock,
North Carolina, were among
the leaders through the first
seven miles before falling
behind.

Reliever Chelsea Malcolm, in line to get the
win, got Savannah Montgomery to go after the
first pitch and pop out, leaving it to No. 8 hitter
Hannah Sommers. On an 0-1 pitch, Sommers
delivered an excuse-me, half-swing bloop into
left field that landed just inside the left-field
line. Left fielder Sydney Smith got to the ball as
fast as she could and tried to make a play on
Marasa at the plate, but her throw completely
missed home plate and bounced off the backstop, eluding catcher Megan Schuster on the
rebound. As the ball skirted away, Phillips
came home to tie the game at 5-all.
But that wasn’t the end of the play.
Sommers kept running and attempted to take
third base. Schuster got to the ball and fired the
ball well past third baseman Sarah Ortiz and
into left field, easily allowing Sommers to come
all the way around the bases on a check-swing
single.
Schuster hit a two-out bloop single in the bottom of the seventh, then Adrix Paradizo delivered
a long shot to center field that Amanda Peck collected a few steps from the fence to end it and
give the Vikings the shocking win.
“In all my years I’ve ever been involved with
college softball as a player and a coach, I’ve
never seen that before,” Semento said of the
wacky play involving Sommers’ hit. “Never anything like that.”
The Vikings found themselves down 5-4 in the
sixth inning of the nightcap after Cassandra
Garcia delivered a fourth-inning home run to
break a 4-4 tie. With the bases loaded and one

two pitches were strikes but
after the count reached 3-2,
Williamson singled to right,
scoring Rhodes and Perry to
win it.
Closer Tyler Carr (8-1) got
the win, He struck out two,

out, Marasa, who would get the win in the second
game as well, beat out an infield hit to score Peck
with the tying run. That brought up Shows, who
hit a groundball to shortstop Destiny Carroll,
whose throw short-hopped catcher Schuster for
an error to score Haley Wildes. As the ball
bounced back into the infield, pinch-runner
Kacee Langsford scampered home to make it 7-5.
It only got worse for Santa Fe as back-to-backto-back RBI hits by pinch-hitter Jessie Grissom,
Montgomery and Alandra Resendes put the game
away. Further complicating issues was the fact
that Santa Fe veteran head coach Chris Ahern
came out to move her defensive alignment around
not once, not twice, but three times in the inning,
leaving Vikings fans in an uproar over the delay.
Marasa relieved starter Skye Davenport in the
second game and was effective, allowing just the
solo home run by Garcia in 5 2/3 innings, scattering five hits, walking three and striking out one.
The Vikings collected 29 hits in the twinbill
with Montgomery and Sommers leading the way,
each going 4-for-7 with two runs and two RBI,
while Phillips ended up 4-for-5 with an RBI and a
run scored. Peck finished 3-for-8 with three runs
scored. Kayla Kight was 3-for-10 with a run and
two RBI. Shows was 3-for-8 with two runs.
Marasa finished 3-for-9 with three runs scored
and two RBI. Wildes ended up 2-for-8 with two
runs and Shelby Griffis, Grissom and Resendes
each getting one hit.
“We took advantage of their defense and with
our speed,” said Semento, whose Vikings were
the recipients of nine errors and stole 11 bases,
including seven in the first game, without having
any runner thrown out. “Whatever happened,
happened. We did the best we could.”
