Board’s vote
on parking
space sizes
put on hold
New to the Team
BY ASIA AIKINS
Palatka Daily News
Planning board members on Tuesday
voted to table an amendment that could
make parking spaces smaller than currently required by Palatka city code.
“We’re bringing this forward because of
our interest and our current success and
what we see happening in the downtown
over the next five to 10 years,” said
Jonathan Griffith, the city’s special projects manager.
Griffith requested that board members
approve the amendment, changing the
required minimum size for a parking space
from 10-foot-wide and 20-foot-long to
9-foot-wide and 18-foot-long.
He said the change would reduce the
size of impervious areas, like large parking lots, and runoff coming from these
areas. He said the city would also benefit
from the change, as it would preserve land
for “the highest and best use.”
“If you implement this, a parking lot

Bloodhound to assist with
locating missing persons

Palatka Daily News
In the movies, men in black-andwhite-striped jail uniforms head
through the swamps, trying to escape
with baying bloodhounds on their trail.
In real life, law enforcement assigns
its No. 1 job – saving lives – to bloodhounds.
Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy
and his deputies gladly welcomed a
bloodhound aboard the K-9 Unit
Wednesday morning.
Donated by Duke Snodgrass, executive director of 832 K9s Deputy Dogs,
the bloodhound made friends with
everyone at the sheriff’s office.
“We were very lucky to have deputy
(Emmett) Merritt join us. He is a very
experienced dog handler,” Hardy said.
“This bloodhound rounds out our unit.
It is also to the benefit of the municipalities in the county. We can respond
to their calls.”
Calls bloodhounds respond to for
tracking have included searches for
missing children, older adults with
dementia and locating suicidal people
of all ages. Law enforcement work finding escaped inmates, suspected murderers and other criminals also fills the

Construction to end on Putnam’s portion of multiuse trail next year
BY BRANDON D. OLIVER
Palatka Daily News
The multiuse trail that will
one day connect St. Augustine
to Lake Butler is being built
according to schedule and
should be completed in
Putnam County before the
end of next year.
The Palatka to Lake Butler
State Trail is being completed
in sections.
It has only a few more sec-
tions that need constructing
before the county’s portion of
the trail is completed, said
Kraig McLane, a member of
the Putnam Blueways &
Trails Citizens Support
Organization.
Next year, McLane said, the
state Department of
Transportation, which is funding the trail project, is scheduled to acquire the land for
the portion the trail from just
west of the St. Johns River
Water Management District
to where the current trail ends
on U.S. 17.
“And the section from East
Palatka to Hastings is going
to be constructed in 2015,”
McLane said. “In 2015, we
should have the entire Rail
Trail completed in Putnam
County.”
McLane said that there
would need to be construction
from Carraway to just west of
the water management district.
The trail is being completed
in sections, partially because
the land needed for the trail is
acquired at different times
throughout the construction
project.
Last summer, workers finished construction on the
Memorial Bridge, connecting
the trail from Palatka to East
Palatka.
After the trail is completed
in the county, the transportation department will still have
to complete some designs and
work on portions of the trail
from Keystone Heights to
State Road 100 in Bradford
County, McLane said.
Although the trail does not
yet completely extend from St.
Augustine to Lake Butler,
McLane said, it still receives
much activity, especially on
the 19-mile stretch from

Friends contacted police Tuesday morning to report Jose
missing from the beach-front home he was renting. His clothes
and personal items were found in a garbage can near the home.
An air unit from the sheriff’s office searched the area on

Anyone with information about Jose is asked to call the sheriff’ office at (850) 747-4700.

Body of missing corrections worker found
Fish strike stops jet’s takeoff at MacDill AFB in Tampa
Associated Press
TAMPA — “Bird strikes” are a familiar
hazard for aircraft. Now authorities at a
Tampa Bay-area military base say
they’ve recorded something new: a “fish
strike.”
According to MacDill Air Force Base
officials, a jet flown by a National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration pilot
was struck by a 9-inch sheepshead during takeoff in September.
“We were nearing the point in the takeoff where we needed to rotate, or raise
the nose of the airplane off the ground,
when an osprey with something in its
claws flew in front of our aircraft,” said
Lt. Cmdr. Nick Toth, the NOAA pilot.

The suspect was taken into custody and charged with aggravated battery with deadly weapon and possession of weapon on

The crew of the Gulfstream GIV heard
a thud and aborted takeoff, assuming
they had hit the bird. The jet was not
damaged, and none of the crew was
injured.
Instead of bird remains on the runway,
though, inspectors found the sheepshead,
a silvery fish with black stripes on its
sides.
The fish and DNA from the aircraft
were sent to the Smithsonian Feather
Identification Laboratory in Washington,
D.C., for analysis. Researchers concluded
that the jet did in fact strike the sheepshead during takeoff.
“At first, we didn’t believe the test
results,” said Toth. “There was no way we
hit a fish during takeoff. I mean, how
does something like that even happen?”
According to a statement released Feb.
21, the base’s wildlife managers and
NOAA’s aircrew believe the osprey had
been perched on the runway eating its
catch and tried to fly out of the way when
the jet started its takeoff.
“As comical as this event is, the
underlying lesson is that vigilance
with regards to wildlife on and around
the runway is necessary to keep all aircrew and aircraft safe and to maintain
our goal of mission readiness,” said

Criminal Justice
Subcommittee approved a bill
Wednesday that would allow
medical use of a marijuana
strain called “Charlotte’s
Web.” The strain has low levels of THC, which makes people high, and normal levels of
CBD, which is used to treat
seizures. It marks the first
time a Florida legislative committee has approved any form
of medical marijuana.
“This is an historic moment,”
said Republican Rep. Matt
Gaetz, the committee chairman and the bill’s sponsor.
“People here in Tallahassee

The bill (HB 843) sets conditions on the possession and
use of the marijuana. It will
have to contain less than 0.8
percent THC.

Bill to extend carry and conceal privileges moves
Saturday, March 8, 2014
A Florida House committee has approved a bill that would
extend carry-and-conceal privileges to all Florida gun owners
when a state of emergency is declared, regardless of whether or
not they have been issued a permit.
The legislation is designed to allow citizens to take their firearms
with them when forced to leave their homes due to hurricanes or
other evacuation-related emergencies. The governor must declare a
state of emergency for the provision to be activated.
Many Floridians bring all of the valuables they can carry
when forced to vacate their homes. Weather can destroy the
residence and the valuables inside, or looters may become a
problem during a chaotic period.
Felons are not covered by the legislation.

GOP senator pushes for Medicaid expansion
Medicaid expansion seems like a dead issue this legislative
session in Florida, but many lawmakers aren’t giving up.
Republican Sen. Rene Garcia called on members of the
Florida Legislature to accept $51 billion in federal money to
extend health care coverage to nearly 1 million uninsured.
Garcia is sponsoring a bill (SB 710) that would accept $51
billion in federal funding to expand a Medicaid alternative that
would allow recipients to purchase private insurance.

OUR VIEWS
“Our Views” is the editorial position of the Palatka Daily News. All other features

The bears
are
among us
O
ne of the people attending a state
wildlife meeting on bear issues this
week offered a solution to increasing human-bear encounters:
“I support the right to arm bears,” she
punned, according to an Orlando Sentinel
article.
There’s little doubt that Florida black
bears are becoming more prevalent here
in Putnam County. A few years ago, the
sight of a treed black bear would bring out
bear-hunting, camera-toting crowds and
earn a spot on our front page.
Today, it’s an almost-daily occurrence
somewhere in the county. The animals
have been seen, sometimes in bear pairs,
ambling down roads, across yards and up
driveways in search of an unsecured garbage can or pet food dish.
The state Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission has, somewhat belatedly, recognized the growing problem. They’ve
scheduled a series of meetings to allow
people to talk about their bear encounters
and to offer some advice to the bear-bothered. Putnam County’s turn is scheduled
for 6:30 - 8 p.m. Thursday, March 20 at
Ravine Gardens State Park in Palatka.
There’s also a meeting a day earlier in
Fort McCoy.
The first in the series of Central Florida
meetings was held this week in Longwood,
a relative hotbed of bear intrusion where
a subdivision resident was knocked down
and injured by a bear while walking her
dog a few months ago. State game wardens then trapped and euthanized two
bears in the area before the guilty bear,
identified by DNA testing, was captured.
That bear’s life was ironically spared
because it was a mother with cubs. The
mother and a surviving cub were taken to
wildlife rehab.
About 150 showed up for the Longwood
meeting, illustrating the degree of concern
the bears have generated. Many in the
crowd didn’t blame the bears for mostly
doing what bears do. They said the problem lies with developers whose subdivisions are infringing on wildlife habitat, as
well as with homeowners who are careless with garbage or even attempt to feed
the critters.
Burgeoning subdivisions aren’t the
problem in Putnam County, but growth in
other areas may be forcing the bears,
which require a lot of territory, to move
into our landscape. Also, the county is surrounded by wildlife-filled woods, including the Ocala National Forest just across
the St. Johns River, and has plenty of wild
areas of its own.
Some Putnam homeowners who’ve
called FWCC to complain about a bear on
their property tell us they have been less
than pleased with the answer, which has
generally been, “leave them alone and
they’ll go away.” The bear may indeed be
miles away by the time a game warden
could arrive. Setting humane traps for a
bear is a major undertaking that’s usually
only done when an animal has become a
repeated nuisance in a given area.
FWCC’s advice still predominates: Keep
garbage cans secured and use bear-proof
containers. Don’t feed pets outside. Above
all, don’t try to entice bears to hang
around by feeding them and thereby causing them to lose their fear of people.
Florida’s bears are generally not agressive
unless cornered or with cubs, but people
should always give them a wide berth.
Those with concerns about bear encounters should plan to attend the March 20
meeting. A significant show of interest
here will tell the state we care about our
people – and our wildlife.

the average bloodhound at
about 27 inches tall and
weighing around 110 pounds.
More than one deputy
remarked on the size of the
dog’s feet.
Putting his front paws on
Merritt’s uniformed shoulders, Daytona looked as tall as
the deputy and remained
playful through the morning.
Snodgrass said that friendliness belies the breed’s dedication to tracking work.
“He’s big and friendly. But
for tracking, this is the best
animal, the best nose in the
world,” Snodgrass said. “Once
he gets an odor, he goes on the
trail and he doesn’t quit.”
Snodgrass compared the
dog his organization trained
to a detective who seeks out
evidence and then goes on to
the next bit of evidence until
the job is done.
The other dogs, the five
German shepherds in the K-9
Unit, have jobs accompanying
deputies on patrol, searching
out drugs and apprehending
fugitives.
Daytona could track down a
fugitive and then leave the
culprit to his backup German
shepherd partner, Tango, to
apprehend.
Daytona might have been
introduced to Hardy as his newest employee, said Snodgrass,
but like the deputies, he works
for the community.
Adding a bloodhound to the
crew shortens response time
to find missing children, the
elderly and the criminals who
have run from the authorities.
“We have had to wait sometimes two hours for the prison
staff to bring a dog,” said
Capt. Steve Rose, head of the
K-9 Unit. “(Daytona) is a godsend to us. He increases our
capabilities.”
He saves money, too. Hardy

could be anywhere from 16-20
percent smaller in size,”
Griffith said, displaying an
aerial view of the Ameris
Bank parking lot facing St.
Johns Avenue. “We want to
get rid of these gaps.”
Planning Director Thad
Crowe requested the parking
space sizes be reduced two
years ago, but the planning
board did not approve the
request at that time.
City commissioners passed
a variance last year for 9-footwide by 18-foot-long parking
spaces to accommodate
requirements for the proposed
riverfront Hampton Inn.
Griffith said he researched
the cost of parking lot construction downtown over the
years. He said the lot behind
the 100 block would have been
16 percent smaller, saving the
city 16 percent in construction
costs.
“It would have saved the
city approximately $15,000,”
he said. “That is a benefit that
we would like to pass on to
private development.”
Griffith said American
Disabilities Act spaces would
not be affected by the change.
“As a person who drives a
large vehicle, it’s very tough to
get into those parking spaces,”
said board member George
DeLoach. “It would be nice to
have a larger vehicle space.”
Board member Joe Pickens
said he would be interested in
mixed use parking requirements, like offering compact
car spaces among 10-foot-wide
spaces.
“(A mixed use) where we
accomplish (the) benefit purposes (of smaller spaces) and
we accommodate by way of the
size,” he said. “But we also
accommodate the varying
types of drivers and their
vehicles.”
DeLoach moved to table the
amendment and asked for
more information about mixed
use parking requirements.
The board unanimously
approved.
Crowe said Griffith should
have a presentation ready by
the next planning board
meeting.
Board members also
approved a certificate of
appropriateness Tuesday,
allowing The Caribbean 450,
102 Philips Dairy Road, to
serve beer and wine on the
restaurant premises. The
building is within 300 feet of
the Palatka Baptist Temple
and Abundant Life Ministries
on State Road 19.
Palatka Baptist Temple’s
pastor Ed Wilds said he was
concerned about the restaurant serving alcohol near the
“bad area” that is located to
the west of the restaurant.
Pickens said there was also
a convenience store in the
area, and people from the
neighborhood could just walk
there to purchase alcohol.
City documents state that
the restaurant is in need of 13
additional parking spaces to
accommodate its 15 tables.
The owner of The Caribbean
450 said a neighboring business owner would allow excess
parking in his parking lot. He
presented the board with a
letter.
The board approved the certificate, stating that the owner
should erect a four-foot fence
to clearly define the premises
and should allow parking only
on the north and east side of
the business. S.R. 19 is to the
west and State Road 100 is to
the south, and both would be
hazardous to cross, Pickens
said.

Bill limits legal exposure for
those in nursing home suits
BY STEVE MILLER
Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, —
Defendants who can be named
in lawsuits against nursing
homes would be limited under
a bill that moved Wednesday
through the House Civil
Justice Committee.
Developers, silent partners and other parties that
could be unconnected to
accused nursing facilities
would be protected from
becoming defendants in lawsuits filed against nursing
homes for such causes as
negligence or other mistreatment under the proposed legislation.
The measure though, targets one firm and one lawyer,
Tampa firebrand James
Wilkes, whose firm, Wilkes &
McHugh, has been successful
representing litigants in multimillion-dolllar actions
against nursing homes and
other assisted living facilities.
“What this does is isolate
one renegade law firm Wilkes,” Emmett Reed, executive director of the Florida
Health Care Association, said
in an interview. Reed’s group
represents the majority of
skilled nursing facilities in the
state.
Wilkes said he is being targeted because he has figured
out a confusing maze of nursing home management and
ownership that can lead to
deep pockets.
“Reading is a means
of thinking with another
person’s mind; it forces you
to stretch your own.”

PISCES
(June 21-July 22)
A partnership will flourish if
given the chance. If you share
your intentions, you will get the
response you need to move forward in a timely manner.
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
It’s a good day for you to deal
with a disagreeable personal situation. You cannot protect someone’s feelings. Honesty will be in
your best interest. Delaying the
inevitable will only compound
the problem.

(July 23-Aug. 22)
Someone may be jealous of
your achievements. Don’t be influenced by the negative comments
of others. You will get rewarding
results if you continue on the path
you have chosen.
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
A promotion is within your
reach. Your hard work and dedication will open the door to new
job possibilities. Be prepared
to jump at any opportunity that
comes your way.
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
There is much to be gained
through travel or educational
pursuits. As your knowledge
increases, more opportunities will
become available. Someone you
meet along the way will offer you
a business proposition.
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Career and family commitments
will be detrimental to your mental
health. Take in some lighthearted
entertainment, play a game or
share laughs with a friend to help
ease your stress.
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Opportunity is within reach.
A partnership could prove to be
beneficial. A promising business
prospect could result from a collaborative effort.

Be on the alert for valuable
financial information. There is
a possibility of advancement, or
perhaps a new job, if you are able
to utilize a choice tip.

You will face opposition if you
are outspoken. There is nothing to
be gained by antagonizing everyone around you. Be diplomatic

Dear Harriette: I have been
noticing commercials for companies where they can take your
debt and basically make it go
away. Like, if you have a bunch
of credit card debt, the companies can reduce the amount you
owe and get the creditors off
your back. It sounds crazy, but
since there are so many commercials about it, I figure it must
work. Otherwise, how could they
afford to buy the commercials,
right? I have a mound of debt and
can’t figure out how to get free
of it. I’m wondering if I should
try one of these things. — Dump
Debt, Jackson, Miss.
Dear Dump Debt: Things that
seem too good to be true tend to
be exactly that. Debt settlement
companies are popular in that
they do help consumers to reduce
their credit card debt, but typically the consumer is left with
plummeting credit scores.
What experts recommend
instead is to work with a federally accredited company that is
affiliated with the Independent
Consumer Credit Counseling
Agencies. CNBC personal
finance correspondent Sharon
Epperson says that you want to
work with a reputable company
that can help you create a budget
and strategically dig yourself out
of debt. Typically, these nonprofit companies offer support free
of charge. To learn more about
the support you can get through
these agencies, visit aiccca.org/.
Dear Harriette: My wife and
I are in a financial bind because
of her indecisiveness. She has
been unemployed for two years
now, and she is the only person
I know who can secure various
job interviews but never gain
full-time employment. My wife
has dreams of opening a day
care center in our community.
I have the money for her open
the day care center, but I still
need some help managing the
monthly household expenses. I
asked my wife if she could find
a job while she works toward the
day care opening. I believe in
my wife’s dream; however, I still
need her to help me pay some of
these bills around the house. Do
you think I am being too pushy?
— The Partnership, Memphis,
Tenn.
Dear The Partnership:
Sounds like you need to create
a budget that gets you to your
goals. Let it include exactly how
much additional money your
family needs your wife to earn
in order to reach that figure. You
may find that having her work
in a focused manner on all the
details of the day care facility is
most cost-effective. If your calculations show that you really do
need the extra income, help her
to recognize that and assess what
kind of part-time work would be
the smartest to seek. Then help
her look for it. Stop thinking she
can’t find a job. That could be a
self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead,
encourage her to find a way to
help your family make its dreams
come true.
Instead of being pushy, work
together with your wife as a team
to get to your goal.

In this deal, the problem is
South’s extra loser. West leads
the spade queen against three
hearts. How should South proceed? North had a textbook gameinvitational limit raise, showing
at least four hearts, 10-12 support points (high-card points plus
short-suit points) and eight losers. South guessed well to pass.
When the dummy comes down,
declarer should count his losers.
Here he has one club, one heart
and at least two spades. He has
only seven sure winners: four
hearts, two diamonds and one
club.
South should play a low spade
from the dummy at the first two
tricks. East is bound to have the
ace and might be forced to play
it. Here, though, the defenders
take the first three tricks. Then
East shifts to a low club. What
next?
Declarer has gained an eighth
winner, his last spade. But he still
has five losers: three spades, one
heart and one club. How can he
eliminate that club loser?
South must immediately take
three diamond tricks. He cashes
his diamond ace, plays a diamond to dummy’s jack, and discards his club jack on the diamond king.
Then declarer plays trumps
and claims.

Dunk City
has eyes
on NCAA
D
ifferent team, different coach,
different situation.
Same Dunk City magic. At
least, that’s what Florida
Gulf Coast hopes is the case.
The team that stole the show over
the first week or so of last season’s
NCAA tournament — reaching the
Sweet 16 as a No. 15 seed that ran
and dunked with so much flair that
it rebranded the school almost overnight — has the Big Dance within
reach again, now just two home wins
away from getting back to the field
of 68.
The Eagles (21-11) play host to
East Tennessee State (18-14) in the
semifinals of the Atlantic Sun
Conference tournament tonight, and
a win in that game means the title
game would be back in Fort Myers,
or Dunk City, on Sunday.
And yes, this team still has some
of the swagger left from last spring.
“I feel like when we play the right
way, no matter what, nobody’s going
to be able to beat us,” FGCU guard
Brett Comer said.
He was asked to clarify — did he
mean nobody in the Atlantic Sun, or
nobody, period?
“Whatever you guys want to write
it down as,” a smiling Comer told a
roomful of reporters after the Eagles
topped Stetson in Tuesday’s Atlantic
Sun quarterfinals. “Whatever you
guys say.”
FGCU lost some of the key players
from last season’s team, coach Andy
Enfield to USC and entered the
A-Sun tournament as the No. 1 seed,
unlike a year ago when the Eagles
were considered a bit of an underdog.
Not this time. That bulls-eye has
been on Dunk City from Game 1 of
the season. And the strains seemed
to show a bit early on, but the
Eagles are 15-4 in their last 19
games and look to be peaking when
it matters.
“They are a formidable opponent,”
Stetson coach Corey Williams said,
“and they are going to do well.”
Williams’ team lost by 22 points
on Tuesday night, getting into an
early 33-13 deficit and never getting
itself out of trouble. His team missed
a ton of easy shots early, playing
right into FGCU’s hands.
In short, Williams knew that a
team with as much postseason savvy
as FGCU wouldn’t need much help.
“Those guys are experienced,”
Williams said. “They’ve been there,
done that, got the T-shirt. … When
you go to the Sweet 16 like they did,
that becomes very valuable. Very
valuable.”
Make no mistake, Dunk City still
dunks, preferring an up-tempo style
with plenty of emphasis on 3-pointers and ringing up plenty of points.
But overlooked last season, and
probably again this season, is
defense is emphasized as much as
the dunks are celebrated.
“These guys will be the first to tell
you, because I wasn’t here last year,
that when they got good defensively
is when they got good,” said FGCU
coach Joe Dooley, the former longtime Kansas assistant who took over
at Dunk City following Enfield’s
departure. “I think there’s got to be
a bunch of different ways to win.
You’re not always going to score.”
Many of the 4,500 or so in the
sold-out arena were wearing shirts
paying some sort of homage to last
season’s Sweet 16 run.
The A-Sun quarterfinals were all
business for the Eagles, who know
another NCAA chance is out there.
They also know that a loss now
would take it all away in a hurry.
“It brings back some memories,
but for the most part we’re trying to
make new memories,” said forward
Chase Fieler, probably FGCU’s biggest key on both ends of the floor.
“We don’t want to think about the
last years’ ones. We want to have
our new ones and try to repeat.”
That’s also why, Comer said,
being a No. 1 seed now isn’t making
the Eagles think the NCAA trip is
assured. Plus, they’ve already lost to
East Tennessee once this season, so
overlooking them on Thursday
seems unlikely.
“At the end of the day you’ve got
to come out and play, no matter
what seed you are,” Comer said. “I
think that’s something we kind of
proved last year.”

Associated Press.

Rams’ Ogle signs with Carolina college
Batting .548 as a senior
for Interlachen High
By Andy Hall
Palatka Daily News
Hannah Ogle was at a softball
showcase in Savannah, Ga., when
opportunity not only knocked, but
pretty much banged on the door.
“The head coach was at the tournament and his travel team was
missing players,” she said. “I got to
know him and he had my information from the tournament. I qualified for the college, committed and
they sent me the papers.”
Ogle signed them on Wednesday
during a ceremony at Interlachen
High School, cementing her decision
to play for coach Scott Long at Salem
College, an NCAA Division III insti-
tution in Winston-Salem, N.C.
“It was kind of meant to be,” said
Ogle, who has justified Long’s faith
with an incredible tear as a senior
with the Rams. She is hitting .548
this season and has 14 hits in her
last 15 at-bats. Ogle has reached
base in 21 consecutive plate appearances, walking five times, getting hit
by a pitch and reaching on an error
in the appearances in which she
didn’t get a hit.
Ogle has six doubles this season
and has a .989 fielding percentage at
second base. She batted .354 on her
way to all-county honors as a junior
in 2013.
“She’s a leader, a vocal leader,”
said IHS coach Ron Whitehurst.
“She brings the attitude that we
have. She does everything right. She
works hard and sets the tone for how

Woods, feeling better,
takes on Doral without
a practice round

Palatka’s Eron Carter won the discus at 157 feet, 7 inches.

he postseason is shaping up to be a fun one
for the Palatka High School track team.
On Tuesday, the Panthers had a big day
at home against Interlachen, Keystone
Heights, Live Oak Suwannee and Baker
County. The Panther boys won with 115 points by
claiming the last event of the day, the 4x400 relay,
to edge Suwannee by two points. Baker finished
with 77, Interlachen had 16 and Keystone Heights
had 12.
On the girls side, Palatka’s girls had 71 points,
35 behind winner Suwannee. Baker County had 55
points, Keystone Heights finished with 41 and
Interlachen ended up with 14.
“I think we gained a lot of confidence after we
came back and won the 4x400 and we did it without
high jumpers and triple jumpers,” said Palatka
High track coach Steven Gonzalez. “For me personally, we’re at where we need to be at this point in
early March. It’s possible that things are going to
shape up well later on in the season.”
For the Palatka boys, Ka’ven Berry continues to
shine, finishing first in the 200-meter dash (22.28
seconds) and 400 (51.81). He was also second in the
100-meter dash in 10.83.
Eron Carter also had a big day with a first-place
finish in the discus (157-foot-7) and a third-place
finish in the shot put (40-3). Lutrell Smith was second in the 400 behind Berry in 54.41, and Robert
Passmore finished out a 1-2-3 sweep in the event by
finishing in 56.16. Lavontae Gilyard was second in
the 300-meter high hurdles in 45.15, while teammate Aaron Azcarate was third in 47.76. Peyton
Snyder, a freshman, finished third in the 3,2000 in
11:57. In the 110-meter high hurdles, Azcarate was
second in 17.40, while Gilyard was in third in 17.47.
The Palatka boys did well in relays, taking first
in the 4x400 relay behind Berry, Smith, Passmore
and William Barlow in 3:43, and winning the 4x800

DORAL — The only tools Tiger
Woods used Wednesday at Doral
were wedges, a putter and a pair of
gold scissors.
Three days after he withdrew in
the middle of the final round at the
Honda Classic with lower back pain,
Woods returned to work at the
Cadillac Championship by saying he
feels better after a few days of constant treatment, and that he was
good enough to try to defend his title.
He just won’t be playing the new
Blue Monster until the opening
round today. Still being cautious
about back spasms, Woods only
walked 18 holes to chip, putt and
study a course that is entirely different from the one where he has won
four times.
As for the scissors?
That was for the ceremonial opening of the Tiger Woods Villa at
Trump National Doral.
Woods playing Doral was not a big
surprise. The last time he dealt with
back spasms in the final round was
at The Barclays last August (he tied
for second), and he played the following week outside Boston.
Even so, it was the second time in
10 tournaments that Woods experience back pain during a round. It
was the fourth time in five years that
he withdrew in the middle of a round
because of injury. For a guy with four
surgeries on his left knee, the focus
has shifted to his lower back.
“I think we have to take a more
global look at it, absolutely, because
it comes and goes,” Woods said.
“We’ve got to make sure that we do
preventative things to make sure
that it doesn’t happen and adjust
certain things, whether it’s swing,

Ukraine beats U.S. in soccer exhibition
Played in Cyprus due
to political turmoil
By Menelaos Hadjicostis
Associated Press
LARNACA, Cyprus — One
banner in the stands read
“Ukraine is Undivided!” on the
top and “One Country — One
Team!” on the bottom.
Ukrainian fans sang their
nation’s anthem in the final
moments, and some broke into a
Doral
continued from PAge 8A
lifting, whatever it may be. You
have to make certain adjustments. We’ve done that throughout my entire career, and this is
no different.”
His health is only part of the
drama at Doral.
The lone applause at the end of
a 20-minute press conference
came from Donald Trump, who
chant of “No war in Ukraine!”
after the final whistle.
A small contingent of
Ukrainian fans had a couple
hours to forget about their
nation’s troubles, wave their
flags and unite amid a political
crisis back home. Ukraine eased
past the United States 2-0 on
Wednesday in an exhibition soccer game shifted from Kharkiv
to a Mediterranean island
nation 600 miles to the south.
“Our country is facing difficult times now, we must support our team and our country,”
said Oleg Ivanovskyi a fan from
Kiev currently residing in
Larnaca. “Ukraine lives and
will live. This friendly match is
important for us to show the
friendship between the U.S. and
Ukraine. The friendship
between the two countries is
more important than the score.”
Andriy Yarmolenko scored in
the 12th minute and Marko
Devic in the 68th as Ukraine
exposed the shaky American
central defense of Oguchi
Onyewu and Anthony Brooks.
Ukraine’s players linked
arms on shoulders during their
national anthem of their nation,
which has been disrupted by
political protests followed by
Russia’s military intervention.
Players in both starting lineups
bowed their heads as they stood
on the field before the game for
a moment of silence for the victims of violence in Ukraine.
The crowd of 1,573 at
Papadopoulos Stadium, which
has a capacity of about 10,000,
was so small that players could
be heard talking with each
other during the game.
took over the resort and whose
presence is everywhere. The
majority of the 69-man field at
this World Golf Championship is
gearing up for the Masters next
month. And at stake this week is
a possible change atop the world
ranking.
Woods returned to No. 1 nearly
one year ago when he won at Bay
Hill. Now, it’s Masters champion
Adam Scott who has a mathematical chance of being No. 1 for
the first time in his career provided he wins this week.
“It would be a dream come true
to make it to that point, but it’s
not necessarily probable, either,”
Scott said. “If you look at stats
and numbers, there’s no reason
why I’m just going to roll out and
win this week. But there’s great
motivation for me to do that.”
The motivation for Woods is to
complete 72 holes without injury.
It’s being fit for the Masters, his
next chance to end a five-year
drought in the majors.
“It’s been a long couple days of
just treatments nonstop, trying
to get everything calmed down,”
he said. “First of all, get all the
inflammation out and from there,
getting the firing sequence right
again, getting everything firing
in the proper sequence. And once
we did that today, feels good.”
He did hit balls Tuesday at his
home in Jupiter Island, no shot
longer than 60 yards, mainly an
attempt to make sure he kept the
feel with his hands on a golf club.
His caddie came down to Doral
and charted the course, giving
Woods an idea of what to expect.
Track
continued from PAge 8A
in 9:25 behind the team of Day’Tawn Shivers,
Snyder, Tristan Ridenour and Passmore. The
4x100 relay team of Markale White, Barlow,
Dontaevone Evans and Demaryae Givens was
second in 44.59.
For the Palatka girls, Abrielle Robertson
won the discus with a 94-2 toss, Genesha
Wilson won the 100 in 12.88 and Jaelyn
Hendrieth took top honors in the 200 (27.78).
Hendrieth was second to Wilson in the 100
(13.05) and Wilson was second to Hendrieth in
the 200 (27.90). Teammate Kari Rasher was
third in the 200 in 29.66. Lacey Jones was third
in the 400 in 1:09.17. In the relays, the team of
Starr McCaskill, Wilson, Missie King and
Rasher was first in the 4x100 in 54.16 and the
quartet of Jones, Xanniaria Ware, Jazmine

The 4x800 team of Jones, Dampier, Antieria

As for Interlachen, Jennifer Roberts won
the girls’ long jump with a leap of 16-4, Ayana

Ariel Lucas was third in the girls shot put

Walker Berry was fourth in the discus with a

Three-year deal for Gator OC
GAINESVILLE — Florida offensive coordinator
Kurt Roper can earn up to $2 million under a
three-year contract he signed last month.
Roper’s deal is worth $590,000 annually. It also
includes a $100,000 signing bonus, a $100,000 longevity bonus if he’s employed on Jan. 31, 2015, and
$10,000 annually as part of the school’s apparel
contract with Nike.
His contract, along with those for offensive line
coach Mike Summers and special teams coordinator Coleman Hutzler, was released Wednesday.
Summers has a two-year deal worth $190,000
annually. Hutzler has a one-year contract worth
$230,000. Both also get $10,000 annually for the
apparel deal.
The Gators hired Roper and Summers to replace
fired assistants Brent Pease and Tim Davis.
Hutzler replaced special teams coordinator Jeff
Choate, who left for a similar job at Washington.
NBA
Rockets down Magic
ORLANDO — James Harden scored 31 points,
including 25 in the second half, and the Houston
Rockets dug out of a double-digit, first-half hole to
beat the Orlando Magic 101-89 on Wednesday
night.
The Rockets dominated inside, outscoring the
Magic 58-26 in the paint. Dwight Howard added
19 points and 14 rebounds in his second trip to
Orlando to face his former team.
Houston trailed in the second quarter by as
many as 14 points, but battled back to win for the
13th time in 15 outings.
Arron Afflalo led the Magic with 18 points. The
Magic dropped to 0-2 this season against the
Rockets.
Orlando played without Jameer Nelson and
Victor Oladipo. Nelson was out sick and Oladipo
missed his first game of the season with soreness
in his left ankle.
Baseball
Braves’ Beachy sharp in start
CLEARWATER — Brandon Beachy pitched
three no-hit innings in his second start since having shoulder surgery in September and B.J. Upton
doubled among his two hits for the Atlanta braves,
who tied the Philadelphia Phillies 2-2 Wednesday.
Beachy’s outing was a significant improvement
over his first outing, when he gave up five hits and
two runs in 1 2-3 innings against Houston.
Upton is trying to rebound from a horrid first
season in Atlanta. He hit .184 in 126 games after
signing for five years and $75 million.
Hunter: I didn’t kiss gator
LAKELAND — Torii Hunter claims he didn’t
actually kiss an alligator.
The Detroit outfielder was featured in a viral
photo from spring training that showed him puckering up next to the bounded mouth of a gator —
but he told reporters Wednesday he was just “on
the backside of it” and there was no kiss.
Hunter says he’d never touched a gator before.
The photo is available via a link from Hunter’s
Twitter account.
The picture was part of a morning meeting the
Tigers have been holding daily at spring training
under new manager Brad Ausmus. It may sound
like a more formal start to each day, but it’s also a
chance for the team to share a few laughs.
NHL
Lightning, Rangers swap captains
NEW YORK — The New York Rangers and
Tampa Bay Lightning pulled off the biggest deal
on NHL trade deadline day Wednesday, swapping
captains Ryan Callahan and Martin St. Louis.
The surprising move was announced just hours
before the afternoon deadline and shortly before
the Rangers were to host the Toronto Maple Leafs.
St. Louis arrived in time to make his debut with
New York.
The Rangers had been trying to sign Callahan,
who can become an unrestricted free agent this
summer, but weren’t able to reach an agreement
with the gritty forward.
They sent him packing instead of risking losing
him for nothing.

everyone else works.”
Nothing mattered more than hard work in Ogle
reaching the point she would have the chance to
play college ball.
“It took a lot of work on my own – extra practice
after practice at school, travel ball and playing different teams,” said Ogle, a member of two travel
teams in addition to the Rams. “I learned something from every coach.”
In addition to striking a chord with Long at the
Savannah showcase event, Ogle fell in love with the
Salem campus.
“It’s beautiful up there – 1700s architecture,” she
said.
Ogle plans to major in exercise science with a
minor in coaching at Salem, a women’s institution
founded in 1772. She also hopes to enter a master’s
program for physical therapy.
A three-sport athlete, Ogle finished fourth in the
129-pound weight class at the Florida High School
Athletic Association girls weightlifting championships last month, benching 140 pounds and cleaning 160 for a 300 total. She played volleyball for
IHS until her senior year.

Park closes road to deter burl poachers
By Curt Anderson
Authorities say unemployment and drug addiction have
spurred an increase in the destructive practice of cutting off the
knobby growths at the base of ancient redwood trees to make
decorative pieces like lacey-grained coffee tables and wall
clocks.
The practice — known as burl poaching — has become so
prevalent along the Northern California coast that Redwood
National and State Parks on Saturday started closing the popular Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway at night in a desperate
attempt to deter thieves.
Law enforcement Ranger Laura Denny said Tuesday that
poachers have been stalking the remote reaches of the park
with their chain saws and ATVs for decades, but lately the size
and frequency of thefts have been on the rise.
“When I interview suspects, that is the (reason) they say:
their addiction to drugs and they can’t find jobs,” she said.

Facebook to delete posts for illegal gun sales
Under pressure from gun control advocates, Facebook agreed
Wednesday to delete posts from users selling illegal guns or
offering weapons for sale without background checks.
A similar policy will be applied to Instagram, the company’s
photo-sharing network, Facebook said. The measures will be
put into effect over the next few weeks and will apply worldwide at Facebook, which claims 1.3 billion active users.
“We will remove reported posts that explicitly indicate a specific attempt to evade or help others evade the law,” the company said in a statement.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has been
asking Facebook to adopt such restrictions, as have Mayors
Against Illegal Guns, the group backed by former New York
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Moms Demand Action. Moms
Demand Action collected more than 230,000 signatures on petitions calling on Facebook to act.

Gene identified for butterfly wing mimicry
To fool predators, some butterflies create wing color patterns
that make them resemble their unpalatable cousins. Only
recently have scientists been unraveling how they do that, and
now researchers have identified the gene that does the trick for
an Asian swallowtail.
In fact, it’s a surprise that just one gene can let females of the
species, sometimes called the common mormon, produce the
elaborate wing markings of toxic relatives. Scientists had proposed that it would take a cluster of genes.
“We were very shocked when we found it was just the one,”
said Marcus Kronforst of the University of Chicago, senior
author of the study published online Wednesday by the journal
Nature.
The gene was already known to play a different role, basically telling body cells whether the insect is male or female. It was
apparently co-opted to take on the second job of controlling
wing patterns in females, Kronforst said.
The gene acts as a switch, regulating other genes to produce
wing patterns that mimic those of any of three species of toxic
butterflies. A given butterfly’s pattern depends on what versions of the gene it inherited from each parent. The gene can
also make a female’s wing look like a male’s.

WHO: 5 percent of calories should be from sugar
Just try sugar-coating this: The World Health Organization
says your daily sugar intake should be just 5 percent of your
total calories — half of what the agency previously recommended, according to new draft guidelines published Wednesday.
After a review of about 9,000 studies, WHO’s expert panel
says dropping sugar intake to that level will combat obesity
and cavities. That includes sugars added to foods and those
present in honey, syrups and fruit juices, but not those occurring naturally in fruits.
Dr. Francesco Branca, WHO’s director for nutrition, conceded the new target was somewhat aspirational.
“We should aim for 5 percent if we can … but 10 percent is
more realistic,” he said in a news conference on Wednesday.
Americans and others in the West eat a lot more sugar than
that: Their average sugar intake would have to drop by twothirds to meet WHO’s suggested limit.
WHO’s new guidelines have been published online and the
agency is inviting the public to comment via its website until
the end of March.
Many doctors applauded the U.N. agency’s attempt to limit
the global sweet tooth.
“The less sugar you’re eating, the better,” said Dr. Robert
Lustig, a professor of pediatrics at the University of California
and author of a book about the dangers of sugar. “If the sugar
threshold is lowered, I think breakfast cereal is going to have a
really hard time justifying its existence,” he said, referring to
sweetened cereals often targeted to children.

MIAMI — About three dozen passengers
who sailed on the ill-fated Carnival
Triumph cruise ship that drifted at sea for
days are hoping to collect thousands of dollars apiece as a result of lingering medical
and mental problems they say were caused
by their nightmarish experience.
Their lawsuit, the first to go to trial since
the February 2013 cruise, is being vigorously defended by Miami-based Carnival
Corp., which contends the passengers cannot show such problems as kidney stones,
post-traumatic stress disorder and
scratchy throats are linked to unsanitary
conditions or the fire that disabled the
engine.
At stake is perhaps millions of dollars, as
well as the industry’s restrictive policy —
printed on each ticket — that governs the
kinds of lawsuits passengers can file. Two
maritime law experts also said the trial
already set an important precedent in
cruise line cases when the judge ruled
Carnival was negligent simply because the
fire broke out, regardless of the reason.
“Ships shouldn’t catch fire in the middle
of the sea for no reason,” said Robert Peltz,
a Miami maritime attorney not involved in
the Triumph case.
Passenger Debra Oubre, of Friendswood,
Texas, who said she has worked in cruise
line shore operations and has enjoyed a
dozen cruises, said she joined the suit to
hold someone accountable.
“Many of us, if not all of us, were physically or emotionally hurt,” she said. “I
just want the truth to be told.”
Again and again during the three-week
trial, Triumph passengers have told their
story to Senior U.S. District Judge
Donald Graham, who is hearing the case
without a jury. Testimony is expected to
wrap up this week, and Graham could
decide whether the passengers deserve
any damages at any time.
Some Triumph passengers testified on
Carnival’s behalf Wednesday, including
James Ede, of Houston, who said the
crew kept them well-informed and provided plenty of water.
“I got almost a little tired of people saying, ‘How can I help you?’” Ede said of the
crew.
According to Carnival, at least nine
other Triumph lawsuits are pending in
South Florida federal court, including a
proposed class-action that seeks to represent all of the roughly 3,000 passengers
aboard the ship. Attorneys involved in
the current trial say its outcome could
affect what happens in these other cases,
although the legal claims are somewhat
different.
Carnival tickets require lawsuits
against the world’s largest cruise line to
be filed only in South Florida federal
court. The tickets also state that passengers agree they can’t bring a class-action
lawsuit, but some lawyers are challenging that based on negligence claims.
The 893-foot Triumph left Galveston,
Texas on Feb. 7, 2013, for a four-day
cruise highlighted by a stop in Cozumel,
Mexico. After departing Cozumel, a fire
broke out at about 5 a.m. in the ship’s
engine room Feb. 10. It left the ship without engine power and most of its electricity, forcing passengers to endure human
waste running down hallways, limited
water supplies, noxious odors and
extreme heat.
Russia, West try to hammer out solutions to Ukraine
By Lara Jakes
Maria Danilova
and
Associated Press
PARIS — Facing off in
Europe’s capitals, Russia and
the West began trying to
build the elements of a diplomatic solution to Europe’s
gravest crisis since the Cold
War — even as the West
appeared increasingly
resigned to an entrenched
Russian presence in Crimea.
NATO hit back by putting
Russia on suspension, and
the European Union extended $15 billion in aid to
Ukraine, matching the
amount the country’s fugitive
president accepted from
Moscow to turn his back on
an EU trade accord.
As peace efforts progressed
in Paris and Brussels, volatility reigned on the ground in
Ukraine: A special U.N.
envoy visiting Crimea came
under threat by armed men
who forced him to leave the
region. Meanwhile, hundreds
of demonstrators, many
chanting “Russia! Russia!”
stormed a government building in eastern Ukraine —
renewing fears that turmoil
could spill out of Crimea and
engulf other Russiandominated parts of Ukraine.
Ukraine’s prime minister
told The Associated Press in
his first interview since taking office that he still feared
Russian President Vladimir
Putin might attempt more
land grabs: “Mr. President,”
Arseniy Yatsenyuk said,
“stop this mess.”
Yatsenyuk vowed to keep
Crimea as part of Ukraine,
but expressed openness to
granting it more autonomy.
Ukraine’s foreign minister,
Andriy Deshchytsia, told the
AP that pro-Russian citizens
in Crimea must be willing to
replace armed forces with
international observers if
they want a vote on more selfrule.
But most of the bargaining
chips Wednesday belonged to
Russia, whose troops are
fanned out across Crimea and
control most of its strategic
facilities.
A growing chorus of prominent American voices
expressed resignation that
Crimea was lost to Russia:
“I’m not optimistic they’re
going to leave,” said Michael
McFaul, who served as
Obama’s ambassador to
Russia until last week.
U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry, Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov and
several European counterparts conducted an intense
round of diplomacy in Paris
to try to find an exit strategy
in Ukraine. While negotiations were inconclusive, top
European officials expressed
optimism that at least the
two sides were talking — and
making progress.
Prosecutor: Bin Laden relative wanted to harm U.S.
By Tom Hays
and Larry Neumeister
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Osama bin
Laden’s son-in-law went on trial
Wednesday in federal court in
Manhattan, where jurors heard
him portrayed both as a murderous mouthpiece for al-Qaida
and as a target of a prosecution
designed to play on fears and
resentments from the Sept. 11
terror attacks.
In opening statements,
Assistant U.S. Attorney
Nicholas Lewin told the jury
that bin Laden had summoned
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith on the
afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001, and
asked him to use his oratory
skills as the public face of al-Qaida to recruit and inspire recruits
to attack the United States
again. Abu Ghaith is the highest-ranking al-Qaida figure to
face trial on U.S. soil since suicide attackers struck the city’s
twin towers.
“While our buildings still
burned, he agreed … in what is
the most important moment in
al-Qaida’s savage history,”
Lewin said, showing jurors a
photo of Abu Ghaith sitting side-
by-side with bin Laden in
Afghanistan on Sept. 12, 2001.
“He invoked his twisted view of
Islam and declared, ‘Fight thee
against the friends of Satan.
Fight with al-Qaida against
America.’”
Defense attorney Stanley
Cohen countered by pointing out
that Lewin referenced the Sept.
11 attack several times in his
opening, even though his client
wasn’t involved in the plot.
“This is not Osama bin
Laden,” Cohen said, pointing to
Abu Ghaith. “This is Sulaiman
Abu Ghaith, a Muslim, an Arab
from Kuwait, a husband, a
father, an imam, a talker, an
ideologue.”
The defendant, who wore a
suit and tie to court, listened
through an Arabic interpreter
and occasionally took notes.
Abu Ghaith, 48, a onetime
imam at a Kuwaiti mosque, was
brought to New York from
Turkey last year. He has pleaded not guilty to charges he conspired to kill Americans after
the Sept. 11 attacks and provided material support and
resources to a terrorist organization. Born in Kuwait, he is married to bin Laden’s eldest
daughter, Fatima.

“Remember, 0 man,
from dust thou art to dust
thou shalt return”
T
he chilling Ash
Wednesday caution
comes from the
third chapter of
the book of Genesis.
Adam and Eve have disobeyed God, and God is
dealing out their punishments. One of the punishments for Adam is
that, from now, on the
earth is going to be his
enemy, he is going to
have trouble cultivating
it and getting food from
it.
Remember, O man.
God says, "In the
sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread, till thou
return unto the ground:
for out of it thou was
taken: from dust thou
art and unto dust shalt
thou return."
Remember, O man.
The idea that human
beings are dust comes
from the previous chapter of Genesis. "The Lord
God formed man of the
dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life."
We are made from
dust and ashes, and
when we die we go back
to dust and ashes. At
burial services, with
which I am very familiar, we commit dead
bodies to the ground,
"Earth to earth, ashes to
ashes, dust to dust."
Remember, O Man
So Ash Wednesday is
a reminder that we are
going to die, that this
life that we live in is
truly "transitory," and
"fleeting." Thus, we refer
to death as "passing
away." St. Paul's Epistle
to the Hebrews tells us,
"It is appointed unto
men once to die, but
after this the judg-
Frank Bartlett
devotion
ment." After we have
left this mortal life, God
is going to judge us.
How we live our lives in
this world really does
matter, because we do
not believe this transitory life is all there is.
There is another life
beyond this one, and we
can choose to spend it
either with God in heaven or with the devil in
hell.
Remember, O man.
Show God that we are
grateful to him for what
he has done for us. He
created us, he gave us
life, and when we turned
away from obeying him
he sent Jesus to die for
us, to forgive us, and to
reconcile us to him.
The ashes go to your
forehead in the form of a
cross. The cross has
saved us from sin, and
the cross has saved us
from everlasting death.
Remember, O Man.
What God wants from
us 'on Ash Wednesday
and throughout Lent
and every other day and
season of the year is
repentance – acknowledging that we sin, turning to him for forgiveness and help, and
attempting to change
our lives accordingly.
"This is a true saying,
and worthy of all men to
be received, That Christ
Jesus came into the
world to save sinners.”
“Remember O Man,
from dust thou art to
dust thou shalt return”
