The defendant loses the right to cross-examine the accuser.” All three of the incoming Palatka City Commission members have stated that they oppose the red light cameras as a way to enforce traffic laws, and a district court of appeals in South Florida agrees. In an Oct. 15 ruling, the Fourth District Court of Appeals in South Florida said about Hollywood, “the city is not authorized to delegate police power by entering into a con- tract that allows a private vendor to screen data and decide whether a violation has occurred before sending that data to a traffic infraction enforcement officer to use as the basis for authorizing a citation.” The court also stated that dismissal of a citation is an appropriate remedy when a private third party issues the citation. The private third party named in the ruling was American Traffic Solutions, the same vendor that provided Palatka’s red light cameras and is contracted through 2017 to handle technical support for reviewing the recorded images of red light violations.

OLIVER Law officers on Sunday arrested a man whom they said ran from officers, climbed onto a roof and tried to discard drug paraphernalia. Chad Allen Dew, 27, was booked into the Putnam County Jail at about 4:50 p.m. Sunday after being charged with possession of a weapon, drug equipment possession, evid e n c e destroying and resisting an officer. Officer Brian Walsh s a i d t h a t Dew those charges – the weapon and evidence destroying charges are felony offenses – originated from a routine action. “There was a traffic stop,” Walsh said. “The traffic stop was conducted because he (and the driver) was not wearing a seatbelt.” When Dew, who is a convicted felon, was finally arrested, Walsh said, he was found to be in possession of six 22-calibre rifle rounds in his shirt pocket. He had tried earlier to get rid of a plastic bag that contained a metal spoon and two syringe needles, authorities said. During the traffic stop, the driver of the vehicle had been asked by Officer Brad Forsyth to get out of the car, Walsh said. He said the driver, who was ment is taking steps to avoid a similar challenge in Palatka’s local district court of appeals. “That court has no jurisdiction in this part of Florida, but we suspect that our district court would rule the same way if it heard a challenge,” he said. “So we are asking for all of the pictures and videos to be sent to us.” Getchell said that he does not BY ASIA AIKINS Palatka Daily News SAN MATEO – Students following the footprints of William Bartram were led to Putnam County over the weekend to exploring the county, as Bartram did, along the St. Johns River. Thomas Hallock and about 15 students from the University of South Florida – St. Petersburg arrived in Putnam County Friday evening, excited to begin an exploration of the Bartram Trail in Putnam. “I have never been to Palatka,” said Kate Godfrey, a graduate student who is originally from Jacksonville. “I hope to explore my home state a little more in-depth with this trip.” Putnam’s local Bartram Trail experts were on hand to greet the group at Georgia Boys Fish Camp Friday. County Commissioner Nancy Harris and her husband, Lloyd, joined Bartram Trail in Putnam County committee members Sam Carr and Dean Campbell, as they awaited the students’ arrival.

Gulf County in the Panhandle had the lowest average premiums for all three groups of policy holders. In 2015, a 27-year-old individual will pay on average $260 a month without subsidies, while a 40-year-old couple with two children will pay on average $952 a month in Gulf County.

Markets Composite ever so slightly in Miami-Dade County, the only Florida county with a decrease in premiums. Just under half of all Florida counties saw increases in the 10 to 15 percent range.

Everything from bouncy inflatable sports challenges, to a rock-climbing wall, to a choo-choo ride and other amusements grabbed children’s attention. Without music and food, it just couldn’t be a festival. United Live DJs from Ocala played some tunes, while it seemed everyone had to have cotton candy before the main meal. “I started out making popcorn, but they bamboozled me into the cotton candy,” said Cornethia Forman as she wound pink sugar around a paper holder. “Everybody has to have at least one cotton candy at a festival.” The main attraction, said Apostle Lillie Tuggerson after 2 p.m., was about to be served. “We made 11 smoked turkeys, five hams, all the dressing, green beans and drinks,” Tuggerson said. “And we’ve got plenty of dessert, including candy apples.” While Tuggerson spoke, children found their way to House of Representatives may reject Tampa results Associated Press TALLAHASSEE — The Florida House is going to vote on whether to reject the results from a Tampa Bay area legislative race. Incoming Florida House Speaker Steve Crisafulli, R-Merritt Island, said he wants a vote to clear up confusion surrounding House District 64. This summer, a judge delayed the primary between incumbent James Grant and Miriam Steinberg until November. Judge Angela Dempsey made the move after she ruled that a write-in candidate in the race was ineligible because he didn’t live in the district. But an appeals court last month ruled that the write-in candidate should have remained eligible. Grant defeated Steinberg in the November election. Crisafulli said the legal limbo has created an “unprec- bounce on inflatable amusements, climb the rock wall and have their faces painted. Adults could relax in a carnival setting to watch the children. Adults and children took turns at the inflatable sports booth. They could kick a soccer ball, tap a basketball or throw a football through round targets at the end of inflated lanes. Because the lanes were inflated, many children chose to bounce around in the lanes while others tossed or kicked the balls at the target.

FL MIECHV A drug investigation led county investigators to determine that two people were conspiring to smuggle narcotics into the Putnam County Jail. Alyssa Kay Long, 25, was arrested on Sunday. Samuel Layton Fox Jr., 24, was also arrested, but he was already a resident at the jail, having been arrested in September. Both were charged with the introduction of contraband into a correctional facility. The arrests were a result of an investigation conducted by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office Drug and Vice Unit, according to a statement from the sheriff’s office. The investigation revealed that Fox was trying to have Long mail drugs to him inside the jail, authorities said. After coming to that conclusion, Drug and Vice Unit detectives notified the Department of Corrections of the investigation. “Corrections deputies intercepted a package mailed to Fox from Long,” Sheriff’s Office Major Johnny Greenwood said in a state- ment. “It was determined that narcotics (were) concealed within the package.” According to the sheriff’s office, Fox was arrested shortly after the package was discovered. He was already in jail after having previously been charged with eight counts of uttering a forged instrument, five counts of theft and one count of failure to appear in court, the sheriff’s office reported. Authorities said that a warrant for contraband introduction was also issued for Long. Palatka Police Department officers, while investigating Long on an unrelated matter, arrested her after the sheriff’s office made them aware of the contraband investigation. While the sheriff’s office charged her for introducing contraband, authorities said, the police department charged her with resisting an officer and drug equipment possession. Long was released from jail Monday morning on a bond of $6,008, but Fox remains in jail without bond, authorities said.

High court to referee water wars I t is encouraging that the U.S. Supreme Court has indicated it will hear Florida’s lawsuit against Georgia concerning water diversions from Apalachicola Bay. We hope the court does take the case and fashions a reasonable solution that will prevent Atlanta’s burgeoning population from ruining the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint river system. The river network ultimately flows into Apalachicola Bay, whose once renowned oyster industry has virtually collapsed. The bay’s rich blend of saltwater and freshwater had produced 90 percent of Florida’s oysters and 10 percent of the nation’s. But inadequate freshwater flow and increasing salinity levels have reduced oyster meat harvests from about 3 million pounds to 1 million pounds since 2012. Last year federal authorities designated the oyster fishery a resource disaster area. Some funding was provided to reshell parts of the bay, providing habitat for larval oysters to anchor and develop. But such stop-gap measures are unlikely to do much if the bay lacks adequate freshwater flow. There may be other factors, including drought, in the decline of Apalachicola Bay’s fisheries. But there should be little doubt that Georgia’s water diversions are a major threat. University of Florida researchers found the oyster population crash was likely “the result of diminished numbers of juvenile oysters reaching maturity, due to insufficient reproduction by adult oysters, unusually high mortality of juvenile oysters, or a combination of both factors.” They found no evidence of oil or other contaminants — nor of overfishing, which Georgia officials try to blame for the oyster collapse. In fact, Georgia has had little regard for how its growth decisions and water demands affect those downstream. It has shown little inclination to reduce its reliance on the river system. That is why Gov. Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi filed suit last year. As Florida’s lawsuit states, Georgia’s daily diversion of 360 million gallons from the river system will grow to 705 million gallons per day by 2035, given Atlanta’s expected growth. Nobody expects to halt Atlanta’s growth, but Georgia has to find a way to reduce its already harmful diversions from the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin. The development of alternative water sources and more rigorous water conservation are essential. Georgia, to its credit, has reduced per-capita water consumption in recent years. But it still could do much more. A few years ago when a drought caused serious water shortages, the former governor eased water restrictions after the landscaping industry complained. In 2009, a federal judge ruled in Florida’s favor, finding that the Buford Dam project on the river system that created Lake Lanier, where Atlanta gets most of its water, was not designed to be used for public water supply, but for flood control, navigation and hydropower. Yet the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, over time, reallocated lake water intended for conservation to support water supply. Alas, the judge’s sensible ruling — which would have frozen Atlanta’s water withdrawals for three years and allowed time for congressional resolution — eventually was overruled. We hope the Supreme Court justices will acknowledge that the welfare of people, commerce and resources do not diminish the farther they are downstream. – Tampa Tribune 111814a4.indd 1 I’m a Tennessee squire, but it won’t buy me a drink in Lynchburg In 1906, A road from Palatka to Francis was completed.

Dr. Martin Salia was in the 13th day of his illness when he reached Omaha on Saturday. He had waited three days to be formally diagnosed after an initial test for Ebola came back negative. He then waited five more days to be flown to the United States. By the time the 44-year-old Maryland man got to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, the deadly virus had done too much damage, shutting down Salia’s kidneys and making breathing difficult, doctors said. He died Monday. Arrest continued from PAge 1a not arrested or given a citation, had given permission to search the car. “(Forsyth) said (Dew) may have had a gun,” Walsh said. “When they went to Dew’s disease on Nov. 10 but did not arrive at an Omaha hospital until Saturday. Two other Ebola patients treated in Omaha this fall arrived at the hospital roughly a week earlier in their illnesses, before nausea, vomiting and more serious symptoms set in. Both of those men recovered. “In the very advanced stages, even the modern techniques we have at our disposal are not enough to help these patients once they reach a critical threshold,” said Dr. Jeffrey Gold, chancellor of the medical center. The virus has already killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa. Salia, who chose to work in his homeland despite more lucrative opportunities elsewhere, was first tested for Ebola on Nov. 7, but the test was negative, and he was discharged from a treatment center in Sierre Leone. It’s not unusual to see false negative tests for Ebola in the early stages because the amount of the virus in the bloodstream is still low, said Dr. Phil Smith, the infectiousdisease expert who leads the Nebraska Medical Center’s biocontainment unit. The U.S. government warns doctors to be wary of possible false negative tests for Ebola. Salia tested positive for the Government officials in Sierra Leone promised a full investigation into the treatment Salia received. “At this point, we can’t say for certain whether it was this misdiagnosis or not that led to his death,” Deputy side, he ran off. They let him get out. When he got out, he took off.” Walsh said the traffic stop occurred on the 100 block of 15th Street. After Dew ran away from the police, he ran to the Daily News building and climbed onto its roof, authorities said. “When he was on the roof, he threw items down a black PVC pipe (connected to the building),” Walsh said, referencing the spoon and syringes that Dew originally had near his waistband. After additional help arrived to assist with the pursuit, Dew was surrounded on the building, Walsh said. Officers had to climb onto the building to arrest Dew, who had not removed the gun "We can’t say... whether it was this misdiagnosis or not that led to his death." ~ Theo Nicol Information Minister Theo Nicol said in a statement to The Associated Press. The government planned to request a full medical report from the hospital where he was last treated. Salia, a permanent U.S. resident, was reportedly receiving blood from an Ebola survivor while in Sierra Leone, the government statement said. The treatment is believed to provide antibodies to fight the virus. The government statement questioned whether “the strain of the 16-hour trip could have had a negative impact on his recovery.” Doctors with an air-transport service assessed Salia in Sierra Leone last week before deciding he was stable enough for the long flight to Nebraska. In Omaha, Salia was placed on kidney dialysis and a ventilator and was given several medications, the hospital said. He was given the experimental Ebola drug ZMapp and received another p la sm a rounds from his shirt pocket, authorities said. “He was transported to be medically cleared, but apparently that went pretty quick,” Walsh said. “He was then transported to the jail.” As of Monday at 5 p.m., Walsh was still in jail in lieu of a $6,016 bond. boliver@palatkadailynews.com transfusion from an Ebola survivor. “I know that we gave him every possible chance to survive. I think that his family feels confident in that as well,” Dr. Daniel Johnson said Monday at a news conference. Salia’s wife, Isatu Salia, who lives in New Carrollton, Maryland, said Monday that the family believed he was treated “in the best place possible.” But by the time her husband arrived in Omaha, he was already unresponsive, doctors said. In a Friday telephone interview, she said she had spoken to her husband and prayed with him. Although his voice sounded weak and shaky, she said he told her “I love you” in a steady voice. Salia graduated from the Pan African Academy of Christian Surgeons training program in 2008. He was free to practice anywhere he wanted, but he chose to stay in Sierra Leone, where the need for surgeons is immense. “He honestly believed that’s what God wanted him to do,” said Bruce Steffes, executive director of the academy. Salia was a member of a United Brethren Church congregation in Sierra Leone, and the church helped support his medical training. Jeff Bleijerveld, director of global ministries for the church, knew Salia through missionary work. He said Salia’s death is a testament to “his Christian faith, his willingness to, if necessary, lay down his life for others.” Awards “I’m proud of our staff members who did so well in spite of being grouped in a category with much larger newspapers,” editor Al Krombach said. “The results should reassure our readers that there’s no shortage of talent at the Daily News.” The results from this year’s competition can be found on the Florida Press Club’s website at floridapressclub.org. continued from PAge 1a feature writing, while taking second in business writing, both in the Class C division.

Hallock, who began following the Bartram Trail when he lived in Valdosta, teaches early American and environmental literature at USF. “When you come across people who are interested in Bartram, you jump at it,” he said. The weekend trip contributed to the students’ studies in his early American literature class, but Hallock is also contributing to a book about Bartram’s travels on the St. Johns River. Campbell and Bartram Trail in Putnam County committee member Dick Franz are also contributing to the book, Carr said. On Saturday, Carr and Campbell led the group on a guided tour of Putnam’s Bartram Trail on the St. Johns River via pontoon boat. The tour included stops at the locations of recently added Bartram trail markers at Murphy Island, Stokes uments, he is paid $1,000 each month to hear challenges. If the violation is neglected for more than 60 days after it is issued, Putnam County traffic clerk Angelica Bridges said a uniform traffic citation is issued. Uniform traffic citations carry a $261 fine, she said. “We (Putnam County) handle the uniform traffic citation,” Bridges said. “They can pay the $261 or request a hearing with our hearing officer.” In both cases, if a hearing is requested, the violator would be obligated to pay court costs and the amount of the citation if they are found guilty. If the case were dismissed, the per- son issued with the citation would not have to pay anything. A federal lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida was filed against ATS earlier this month on behalf of recipients of red light violations issued in South Florida. The lawsuit was filed after the red light camera ruling in the district court of appeals. According to the lawsuit, the plaintiffs are seeking more than $5 million for “unlawfully issuing and collecting fines for traffic violations that were void under Florida law.” Landing, Seven Sisters, Mount Royal, Dunns Creek and Beecher Springs. Later in the day, Carr said, the students drove across the Fort Gates Ferry and met with Franz at Salt Springs. “It will be neat to connect the places we see with the literature,” Godfrey said on Friday. “To walk where others have walked.” Carr said on Monday that he thinks the students made real connections with their studies during the trip. “They were really enjoyed using the codes and pulling up the websites at each stop,” he said, adding that the new Bartram Trail signs include QR codes for smart phones. “They heard dialog and we read Travels (Bartram’s book about his travels) at each stop too.” Carr said the students laughed when they heard John Bartram’s, William’s father, dialog at one particular location. “He said at one stop ‘it was a warm and pleasant day,’ and the students got a kick out of that because it was cold and windy on Saturday,” Carr said. Despite the cooler temperatures, Carr said the students seemed to enjoy their trip on the river. Hallock said he is also looking forward to attending the Bartram Conference in Putnam next October. “The trail really will bring a lot of a lot of people to Putnam County,” he said. aaikins@palatkadailynews.com aaikins@palatkadailynews.com shouldn’t be your biggest worry.

Take immediate action regarding a legal or financial decision. Dawdling will interfere with your progress. HOROSCOPE AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Keep an eye on your competition. You are heading down the fast track to success, and you don’t want to make the mistake of underestimating someone. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) An important relationship is in need of attention. Someone feels left out and must be brought back into the loop. Set up a discussion to avoid a misunderstanding. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don’t be pressured into making a snap decision. Leave yourself enough time to weigh the pros and cons before you make a commitment or sign any agreement. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are in the mood to have some laughs.

We have only been seeing each other for about five weeks now. We like each other a lot. In fact, I plan to bring her around my family during Thanksgiving weekend. I haven’t brought a woman home in a long time, so I know it’s going to mean something to my folks. I am nervous because my family is nosy, and they are going to ask myriad questions. I am not sure how to handle their pending questions. Should I just spare my family the confusion and refer to her as my girlfriend? — Somewhat Nervous, Jackson, Mississippi Dear Somewhat Nervous: If you consider your friend to be your girlfriend, call her that. If you have not reached that stage in your budding relationship, call it what it is. You can tell them in advance that you are bringing a friend with you to dinner, a woman you have been dating for a few weeks now. You (June 21-July 22) Hone your professional skills. Do whatever it takes to stay in the loop regarding advancements in your field. Your qualifications must be updated regularly if you want to get ahead. LEO VIRGO LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Keep a positive attitude and let your imagination run free. Don’t let a negative remark halt your progress. The success of your project will be enough proof that you are right. Dear Surprise, Surprise: I am not a believer in doing for someone something that you know the person wouldn’t like. I feel doubly sure about that when you are speaking about a surprise for your wife. Here’s the thing: People often make the mistake of superimposing their views and desires on their loved ones. That is not the way to inspire happiness in those people. Instead, pay attention to your loved one. What do you think your wife would appreciate for her special birthday? Think long and hard. And guess what? You can ask her for her input. Making a celebration special does not require surprise. It could be that collaboration is the best idea. Tell your wife that you want to do something extra-special for her upon reaching this milestone. Ask her to talk to you about her heart’s desires. Figure out if you can execute one of her dream celebrations. BRIDGE (July 23-Aug. 22) You will never feel fulfilled if you keep trying to please everyone. Do what you love and don’t let what others do or say stand in your way. (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Face the people and events that are causing you stress. You will add to your problems if you put on a happy face and pretend everything is all right. can ask them to help make her feel comfortable by not prying too much. Prep her as well. Let her know that your family members are inquisitive. She can decide in advance what she wants to discuss and where she might draw the line. It is most important for the two of you to be clear on the status of your relationship before you get there. Agree on whether you are friends, girlfriend-boyfriend or something else. As long as you are united, you will be able to make the atmosphere as comfortable as possible. Dear Harriette: My wife does not like surprises, but I would like to give her a surprise party for her 45th birthday. I know I am going against her wishes, but I think it would be fun to plan something without her input. How can I get away with planning her birthday without embarrassing my wife and avoid getting hurt in the process? — Surprise, Surprise, Brooklyn, New York Skid Simon’s classic book, “Why You Lose at Bridge,” first appeared in 1945. Now, 69 years later, Julian Pottage has taken Simon’s char- acters and written another book, “Why You Still Lose at Bridge” (Master Point Press). Chapter 11, “Failing to Count,” is a primary factor that separates good players from bad. In this example deal, South is in two spades. West leads the heart ace, then shifts to the diamond six. How should South proceed? In the auction, South’s decision to compete with two spades on a soft 4-3-3-3 hand with only a queen and three jacks (no aces or kings) was highly debatable. In normal circumstances, South would play dummy’s low diamond, hoping West had just led from the king. But here the bidding makes that impossible. West passed over his partner’s opening bid, but has already produced the heart ace; he cannot also have the diamond king. South should rise with dummy’s ace, conveniently dropping East’s king. Then declarer can draw trumps and lead clubs twice through East (who must also have the top honors in that suit) to restrict his losers to three hearts and two clubs. Unexpectedly, in a worthwhile book, the author fails to point out that if West continues hearts at trick two, East can win with his queen and cash the king, on which West can discard a club. Then three rounds of clubs, the last ruffed by West, defeat the contract. Surely East would have encouraged a heart continuation by signaling with his heart nine at trick one.

Manson gets license to marry 26-year-old visitor By Linda Deutsch and Scott Smith Associated Press CORCORAN, Calif. — Mass murderer Charles Manson has gotten a license to marry a 26-year-old woman who visits him in prison. The Kings County marriage license, viewed Monday by The Associated Press, was issued Nov. 7 for the 80-yearold Manson and Afton Elaine Burton, who left her Midwestern home nine years ago and moved to Corcoran, California — the site of the prison — to be near Manson. She maintains several websites advocating Manson’s innocence. The license does not specify a wedding date and indicates the couple has 90 days to get married or they will have to reapply. Burton, who goes by the name “Star,” told the AP that she and Manson will be married next month. “Y’all can know that it’s true,” she said. “It’s going to happen.” “I love him,” she added. “I’m with him. There’s all kinds of things.” Burton gave an interview a year ago to Rolling Stone magazine in which she said she and Manson planned to marry. But Manson, who became notorious in 1969 as the leader of a roving “family” of young killers, was less certain about tying the knot. “That’s a bunch of garbage,” Manson said in the December 2013 interview. “That’s trash We’re playing that for public consumption.” Asked Monday about those comments, Burton said, “None Pet of the Day LUCY LOU of that’s true,” adding that they’re waiting for the prison to complete their paperwork. California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton confirmed to the AP that the license had been transmitted to the prison. Thornton said each California prison designates an employee to be a marriage coordinator who processes paperwork for an inmate’s request to be wed. In most cases, she said, the department of corrections approves of such weddings as “a tool of family reunification and social What They’re NOT Telling You About So-Called “Energy Saving” Cooling Systems It turns out that all this “sealing in” of our homes to reduce energy bills has a sickening drawback: The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology says we’re simply “recycling” the same bacteria over and over.

Burton said the wedding might have happened earlier if Manson did not have “some situations” at the prison. Thornton explained that in February, Manson had three violations for possession of a weapon, threatening staff and refusal to provide a urine sample. Further details on the violations were not immediately available. Burton said the prison holds marriages on the first Saturday of each month. She expects to be married in an inmate visiting room at the prison. write you a check for the difference. ■ 10 Year Parts and Labor Guarantee. This new system is so reliable that we guarantee you can’t spend a penny on repairs for 10 solid years. “Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?” Thornton confirmed that Manson can have a wedding at the prison and invite an officiate from outside the prison to perform the ceremony. He and his prospective spouse also would be allowed to invite 10 guests who are not inmates. However, as a life prisoner with no parole date, he is not entitled to family visits, a euphemism for conjugal visits. Why marry Manson under those conditions? Burton said she was interested in working on his case and helping him obtain possible release. Marrying him would allow her to get information not available to nonrelatives, she said without elaborating. “There’s certain things next of kin can do,” she said. She said she believes Manson is innocent and will get a new trial.

President Barack Obama confirmed Kassig’s slaying after a U.S. review of the video, which also showed the mass beheadings of a dozen Syrian soldiers. The 26-year-old Kassig, who founded an aid group to help Syrians caught in their country’s brutal civil war, “was taken from us in an act of pure evil by a terrorist group that the world rightly associates with inhumanity,” Obama said in a statement. He denounced the extremist group, which he said “revels in the slaughter of innocents, including Muslims, and is bent only on sowing death and destruction.” The slain hostage’s parents, Ed and Paula Kassig, said they were “heartbroken” by their son’s killing, but “incredibly proud” of his humanitarian work. Kassig “lost his life as a result of his love for the Syrian people and his desire to ease their suffering,” the parents said in a statement from Indianapolis. With Kassig’s death, the Islamic State group has killed five Westerners it was holding. American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff were beheaded, as were British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning. Unlike previous videos of slain Western hostages, the footage released Sunday did not show the decapitation of Kassig or the moments leading up to his death. “This is Peter Edward Kassig, a U.S. citizen … who fought against the Muslims in Iraq,” said the blackclad militant, who spoke with a British accent that was distorted in the video, apparently to disguise his identity. Previous videos featured a militant with a British accent that the FBI says it has identified, though it hasn’t named him publicly. The footage released Sunday identifies the militants’ location as Dabiq, a town in northern Syria that the Islamic State group uses as the title of its English-language propaganda magazine and where they believe an apocalyptic battle between Muslims and their enemies will occur. The high-definition video also showed the beheadings of about a dozen men identified as Syrian military officers and pilots, all dressed in blue jumpsuits. The black-clad militant warns that U.S. soldiers will meet a similar fate. “We say to you, Obama: You claim to have withdrawn from Iraq four years ago,” the militant said. “Here you are: You have not withdrawn. Rather, you hid some of your forces behind your proxies.” A U.S.-led coalition is targeting the Islamic State group in airstrikes, supporting Western-backed Syrian rebels, Kurdish fighters and the Iraqi military. Kassig, who served in the U.S. Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment, a special operations unit, deployed to Iraq in 2007. After being medically discharged, he returned to the Middle East in 2012 and formed a relief group, Special Emergency Response and Assistance, to aid Syrian refugees. A certified EMT, Kassig had delivered food and medical supplies and provided trauma care to wounded Syrians before being captured in eastern Syria on Oct. 1, 2013. Friends say he converted to Islam in captivity and took the first name Abdul-Rahman. In a statement issued as he flew back to Washington from the AsiaPacific region, Obama said Kassig “was a humanitarian who worked to save the lives of Syrians injured and dispossessed” by war. The president offered prayers and condolences to Kassig’s family. “We cannot begin to imagine their anguish at this painful time,” he said. Scientists confident comet lander will wake up again Real Life brisbane, australia Putin denies he fled summit pressure By Frank Jordans Associated Press Shortly before its primary battery ran out, the European Space Agency decided to attempt to tilt the lander’s biggest solar panel toward the sun — a last-ditch maneuver that scientists believe may have paid off. “We are very confident at some stage it will wake up again and we can achieve contact,” Stephan Ulamec, the lander manager, told The Associated Press. That should happen next spring, when Philae and the comet it is riding on — called 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko — get closer to the sun, warming up a secondary battery on board. A few days of sunshine on the solar panels should be enough to charge the battery sufficiently to conduct science runs, said Ulamec. Before they can say for certain if they’ll be able to restore contact with Philae, scientists first need to find out where on the 4-kilometer (2.5-mile)-wide comet the washing machine-sized lander is, he added. New pictures released Monday offer very good clues about where it has come to rest. The high-resolution images taken from Philae’s mother ship Rosetta show the lander descending to the comet and again after its first and second bounce. These were caused by the lander’s failure to deploy its downward thrusters and harpoons. Russian President Vladimir Putin made an early exit on Sunday from a two-day summit of world leaders where he was roundly criticized over Russia’s escalating aggression in Ukraine, but brushed off suggestions that he had felt pressured. Putin was the first leader to fly out of Brisbane on Sunday afternoon as his fellow leaders in the G-20 club of wealthy and developing nations shared a lunch and before they released the communique to cap off their annual summit. He also departed Australia shortly before President Barack Obama and European leaders opened their talks on Ukraine, where Russia is backing separatist rebels in the east of the country after annexing Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula in March. In July, A Malaysia Airlines flight was shot down, killing all 298 people on board, while flying over a rebel-held area of eastern Ukraine. BERLIN — There is a strong chance Europe’s comet lander will wake up from hibernation as it nears the sun, raising hopes for a second series of scientific measurements from the surface next year, scientists involved in the mission said Monday. The Philae lander, which became the first spacecraft to touch down on a comet Wednesday, has already sent reams of data back to Earth that scientists are eagerly examining. But there were fears its mission would be cut short because it came to rest in the shadow of a cliff. the hague, netherlands Pope reinforces traditional family values to calm conservatives Bird flu confirmed at Dutch, UK farms The Dutch government on Sunday banned the transport of poultry and eggs throughout the country after confirming an outbreak of bird flu at a chicken farm. The Ministry for Economic Affairs said the outbreak is deadly to poultry and can also be transmitted to humans. Spokesman Jan van Diepen said the exact strain of bird flu has not yet been established. All 150,000 chickens at the farm in Hekendorp, 40 miles south of Amsterdam, were being slaughtered. It was not clear how the farm became infected. As well as halting the movement of poultry, other birds and eggs nationwide for 72 hours, the government is imposing other restrictions, including banning the transport of byproducts such as poultry manure and hay that have been used in poultry farms. paris Frenchman thought among IS killers A young Frenchman is believed to be among the killers on an Islamic State propaganda video showing a beheaded American aid worker and the deaths of more than a dozen Syrian soldiers, France’s top security official said Monday. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said there is a “strong presumption” that Maxime Hauchard is among the group of Islamic extremist fighters in the video released over the weekend. He urged young people in France to “open your eyes to the terrible reality” of the militant group. Cazeneuve said authorities were analyzing the video and have been investigating Hauchard, who is around 22 years old and from west of Paris. The convert to Islam gave an interview to France’s BFM television in July, telling the network he had helped in the capture of Mosul, the Iraqi city whose fall eventually prompted the United States to resume military operations there. “I call solemnly and seriously on all our citizens, and notably our young people who are the primary target of the terrorist propaganda, to open your eyes to the terrible reality of the actions of Daesh,” Cazeneuve said, using an Arabic acronym for the group. Picture By Nicole Winfield Associated Press VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis is seeking to reassure the church’s right-wing base that he’s not a renegade bent on changing church doctrine on family issues — weeks after a Vatican meeting of bishops initially proposed a radical welcome for gays and divorced Catholics. Francis on Monday opened an interreligious conference on the “complementarity” of men and women in marriage and sex. He said marriage between a man and woman is a “fundamental pillar” of society and that children have the right to grow up with a mother and father. It was the second papal speech emphasizing church doctrine in as many days: On Saturday, Francis pronounced some of his strongest words yet against abortion, euthanasia and in vitro fertilization, sounding more like his predecessor, Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, than the Argentine Jesuit who famously said “Who am I to judge?” about gays. Vatican officials concurred that the interventions could be read as a response to the conservative backlash that erupted after the recent meeting of the world’s bishops on family issues. The meeting’s organizers, who were handpicked by Francis, initially proposed a revolutionary welcome toward gays and civilly remarried Catholics, following Francis’ exhortation that the church must welcome all. Gay rights groups and liberal Catholics cheered, even though the bishops scrapped the welcome in their final document. Conservative Catholics, already uncomfortable with Francis’ lack of emphasis on doctrine, reacted with outright alarm after the synod, fearing that Francis eventually might lead the church into uncharted territory that would compromise church teaching on homosexuality and the indissolubility of marriage.

No. 1 Mississippi State is taken down by No. 4 Alabama, 25-20, in Tuscaloosa, making way for No. 2 Florida State to move back to the top spot in the Associated Press poll after having to come back once again to knock off host Miami, 30-26. 1. The NASCAR Sprint Cup season comes to a close with Kevin Harvick outlasting the other racers on the course at Homestead to not only win the race, but the season title as well for his first time. Our topic of discussion: Harvick’s moment at last. All Kevin Harvick had to do on Sunday at the Homestead-Miami Speedway was just finish ahead of the other three pursuers of the Sprint Cup championship, Joey Logano, Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin. He decided he wanted to win the race as well. Coming from as low as 18th on the grid at one point and at 12th place with 15 laps to go, Harvick went for four new tires for the final 20 laps on the restart and the move paid off as he picked off racers left and right. Near the front, the race was forced into another restart late and Hamlin, who stayed on the course without a change in tires, paid for it as off that last restart, Harvick passed him up as well as Newman and cruised on in for the triumph. Harvick became only the third different first-time Sprint Cup season champion in the last 10 seasons after Jimmie Johnson won the first of his six titles in 2006 and Brad Keselowski in 2012. And the win ended what has been a long pursuit to greatness for Harvick. Starting with Richard Childress Racing in 1999, Harvick ran the Busch Series (now Nationwide) with the No. 2 AC Delco Chevrolet. He would win the Rookie of the Year honor for the Busch Series in 2000, but Childress himself made the decision to keep him on the Busch Series fulltime. That all changed tragically on the afternoon of Feb. 18, 2001, at the Daytona 500 when Dale Earnhardt was killed in a wreck on the final lap of that race. Forced to find a quality replacement for the late, great Earnhardt, Childress chose Harvick to take over Earnhardt’s ride, changing the car number from 3 to 29 in the process. Three weeks later at the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Childress’ trust in Harvick paid off as his rookie held off Jeff Gordon to win his first race.

On the Offensive Foley wants to hire coach with offensive track record BY MARK LONG Associated Press F GAINESVILLE lorida’s next football coach will have a “track record of success on the offensive side of the ball.” Athletic director Jeremy Foley said Monday that Florida fans want that and “we’re certainly going to try to provide for them.” Foley didn’t rule out a defensive coach, but made it pretty clear the Gators don’t plan on hiring another defensive coordinator without head-coaching experience. Florida failed miserably with former defensive coordinators Ron Zook (2002-04) and Will Muschamp (2011-14). Foley fired coach Muschamp on Sunday, a day after a 23-20 loss to South Carolina that was Florida’s third straight at home and knocked the Gators out of contention in the Southeastern Conference’s Eastern Division. “We would obviously like an individual that’s been successful on the offensive side of the ball,” Foley said. “I think obviously that’s what the Gator Nation wants, and we see that, and that’s what we’re certainly going to try to provide for them.” Muschamp will coach the final two regular-season games, against Eastern Kentucky and Florida State, but won’t stick around for a potential bowl game. The Gators (5-4, 4-4) need to win one of the two to become bowl eligible. “Our guys will respond the right way and handle it with class, like they always have in all situations,” said Muschamp, who seemed to handle the decision as professionally as possible. “It’s important for us to get these seniors a win here in the Swamp.” Foley, Muschamp and outgoing school president Bernie Machen spoke at the news conference. Foley choked back tears while talking about how difficult a decision it was to fire Muschamp, who cleaned up a program rampant with arrests and did everything right off the field. See COACH, Page 2B He’ll go to last whistle GAINESVILLE e was – and will be – an Xs and Os man to the end. “We had an operation time issue with the field goal, (but) with a low kick it doesn’t matter what the operation time is. We were in a look (on the punt) where we should have kicked it the other way and we didn’t. We thought it was protected and they came off the head of the slot and they blocked it,” said Will Muschamp, explaining two of the bigger knives out of the 1,000 or so ANDY HALL by which his tenure as football coach at the University of Florida was decided on Saturday at the Swamp, where pretty much everyone except the Gators have gotten out alive recently. He’ll lead them against 9-2 Eastern Kentucky at home on Saturday, take them to Florida State on Nov. 29 and then he’s done. A man of impeccable football mind (at least on defense) and from every account I’ve read, character, Muschamp didn’t get it done. He knew the game and loved his players. Occasionally, he H JOHN STUDWELL / Special to the Daily News QB Treon Harris rushed for 111 yards Saturday. coaxed stellar performances out of them. Their greatest on his four-year watch was just two weeks ago against his alma mater, Georgia. But there was Saturday’s mess, the 23-20 overtime loss to underachieving South Carolina in See HALL, Page 2B Going south is exactly what the Saints, Panthers, Falcons and Buccaneers have done this season. Yet one of them will be playing in January. As it should, the NFL places a premium for the playoffs on winning a division. The problem is the team that makes the postseason from the NFC South will be more like the lucky loser. Of course, those four clubs will argue that they can replicate what the 2010 Seahawks did, winning the NFC West at 7-9, then beating 11-5 New Orleans, a wild-card team, in the first round of the playoffs. One of them certainly will get that opportunity — in a pure bit of irony, it could wind up being Seattle that gets the wild card with a superior record and then heads to the road for the opening round of the Super Bowl tournament. Regardless, there will be screams of protest that a seven-win, perhaps even a six-win team, gets to keep playing. “Yeah, it’s a crazy situation,” said Panthers safety Thomas DeCoud, who knows all about the division from playing six seasons with Atlanta before joining Carolina this year. “The way the season is going I don’t want to say that somebody up there is a Panther fan, but somebody is giving us every opportunity to stay in the chase. But now we just got to start capitalizing on those opportunities.” If anyone has failed to do so thus far, it’s Carolina, which started 2-0, including a win over Detroit, and then was 3-2-1, with the tie coming against Cincinnati, before dropping five straight. The Lions and Bengals have been first-place teams. See SOUTH, Page 2B Hurricanes surprise No. 8 Gators BY MARK LONG Associated Press GAINESVILLE — Angel Rodriguez scored 24 points, none bigger than those that came on a falling-down, hand-in-the-face 3-pointer with 16 seconds remaining, and Miami overcame a 15-point deficit to upset No. 8 Florida 69-67 on Monday night. The Hurricanes (2-0) scored 48 points in the second half as Rodriguez took over. The former Kansas State guard hit three consecutive 3-pointers that helped Miami take the lead with 1:45 left. His free throw tied it with 1:13 remaining. But his fifth 3 of the game was the dagger that ended Florida’s schoolrecord, 33-game winning streak at home. Kasey Hill had a hand in his face and even knocked him to the floor, but the off-balance shot went in. Florida (1-1) had a final chance to send it to overtime, but Michael Frazier II missed a jumper at the buzzer. Eli Carter led the Gators with 21 points, including 16 in the second half. Carter hit a driving layup with a minute to play that put Florida back ahead 67-65, but Rodriguez answered on the other end. Carter had a chance to respond, but he was called for a charge in the lane with 3 seconds to play. Florida was down four players in the game, including starting forward Dorian Finney-Smith. 11/17/14 11:53 PM 2 B • PA L AT K A DA I LY N E W S • T U E S DAY, N OV E M B E R 1 8 , 2 0 1 4 SCOREBOARD TODAY ON TELEVISION CALENDAR NOTE: Schedules are submitted by schools, leagues and recreation departments and are subject to change without notice.

We didn’t get it done,” said Muschamp, summing up the game and his UF career less then 24 hours before his termination date was set. He almost certainly knew what was coming even as he offered the tortured, technical explanation of the blocked kicks. Had he ever experienced a game where victory seemed so certain, only to end in defeat? “Yeah, LSU,” Muschamp replied.

You can’t look for anybody else to help you out.” Perhaps that’s true in other divisions, where winning most every week is critical. In the Falcons’ sector, they’ve climbed back into contention as much because the Saints were losing at home to San Francisco and Cincinnati as for anything the Falcons managed. MIDDAY 7-8-1-9 8-4-8-8 5-3-9-3 Due to the threat of tornadoes, both Monday sporting events involving Putnam County schools were postponed. Crescent City’s girls soccer match at home with Bradford was postponed, and according to Raiders coach Lucie Valdivia-Sanchez, no makeup date has been brought up yet, but the match will have to be made up because both teams are District 5-2A rivals and this is their only match this season. Interlachen’s opening boys basketball game against St. Augustine St. Joseph Academy got postponed, but IHS athletic director Ron Whitehurst said no makeup date has been planned yet. BASEBALL Record deal for Marlins’ Stanton MIAMI — The Marlins are no longer pinching pennies, and Giancarlo Stanton won’t be, either. Stanton agreed to terms with the team Monday on a $325 million, 13-year contract, Miami owner Jeffrey Loria said. It’s the most lucrative deal for an American athlete and averages $25 million per season, or $154,321 per game. The deal includes a no-trade clause, and Stanton can opt out after six years, Loria said. A news conference was planned Wednesday. Any kind of multiyear deal is a big departure for the Marlins and Loria, whose frugal ways in the past alienated fans, angered the players’ union and made the franchise the butt of jokes. Given such thriftiness, the Marlins’ generosity toward Stanton becomes even more stunning. His contract tops the $292 million, 10-year deal Miguel Cabrera agreed to with the Detroit Tigers in March. Alex Rodriguez signed the largest previous deal, a $275 million, 10-year contract with the Yankees before the 2008 season. Stanton, who turned 25 on Nov. 8, is perhaps the game’s most feared slugger. He has 154 career homers despite playing home games in spacious Marlins Park. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Winston hearing delayed again TALLAHASSEE — A person familiar with the decision says Jameis Winston’s Florida State student code of conduct hearing has been moved a second time to Dec. 2. The person spoke to The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because the university has not released any details about the hearing. AP has reported that Florida State originally scheduled the hearing the week of Nov. 17, then changed it after Winston family adviser David Cornwell requested a delay. The Heisman-winning quarterback is facing a hearing to determine whether he violated four sections of the code of conduct — two for sexual misconduct and two for endangerment. A former female student said he assaulted her in December 2012. NFL Jaguars activate Lewis JACKSONVILLE — The Jacksonville Jaguars have activated tight end Marcedes Lewis from the injured reserve/designated to return list. To make room for Lewis on the 53-man roster, the team placed rookie receiver Allen Robinson on injured reserve with a broken right foot. The Jaguars also waived rookie tight end Mike Flacco from the practice squad and waived rookie receiver Nathan Slaughter from injured reserve. –Associated Press Blumenthal CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Fisher was going to get it done. Instead, Fisher is working on a second straight national championship with Muschamp’s team in the way at Doak on Nov. 29. Like Ron Zook when he was shown the door 10 years ago, Muschamp won’t work any bowl game. But he’ll work until the last second in Tallahassee. “You play for the University of Florida,” he said Saturday. “You keep playing hard.” Down to the last X and O. Though he remained a fixture on what would be the lower circuit, winning the Busch/Nationwide series in 2001 and ‘06, Harvick began to carve out his own niche on the Winston Cup, then Nextel Cup and now Sprint Cup circuit. With 229 Top 10 finishes and 28 championships to his credit, Harvick has remained a fixture near the top of the Sprint Cup standings, but his best overall finish in a season was third three times in 2010, 2011 and 2013. The most disappointing of the three? Easily 2010 when he was first in the standings until the new format of cutting the field down to just 10 racers also changed the points and though he had five Top 5 finishes and nine Top 10s, it wasn’t enough as Johnson won his fifth straight title. After being so close, it was Harvick’s time to prevail. He had made the change this season to race for fellow driver Tony Stewart and his Stewart-Haas Racing team. And the switch did wonders – five wins, tying his best of 2006, eight pole positions, compared to six he had total in his first 13 seasons, 14 Top 10s and 20 Top 10s. His 2,137 laps led throughout the season is the second-most in Sprint Cup history only behind the 2,238 Johnson accumulated in his fourth straight championship season in 2009. However, it’s been a long struggle to make it to the top for Harvick, who celebrates his 39th birthday on Dec. 8 and just three months younger than Johnson. The last driver older than Harvick to win a season title was his boss, Stewart, at 41 years old. As a matter of fact, only three other champions in the last 20 years were older than Harvick when they captured victory – Dale Jarrett was almost 43 when he won his lone title in 1999, Terry Labonte won in 1996 after he turned 40 the week before and Earnhardt was 43 when he won his last championship. It remains to be seen what happens from this point for Harvick. But after that 13-year climb to the top, the first championship was surely well worth it. Andy Hall is sports editor of the Palatka Daily News. Mark Blumenthal is a writer for the Daily News. mblumenthal@palatkadailynews.com Foley has some critical criteria for Muschamp’s replacement. “First and foremost is high integrity and character,” Foley said. “Our mission statement says ‘championship experience with integrity.’ That is paramount us as we move forward. … What does that mean? This is not a place for everybody. Not everybody fits in here. As we go through the process, we want to make sure they do fit in here.” Don’t expect Florida to hire anyone with unwanted baggage, so Louisville’s Bobby Petrino, Arizona’s Rich Rodriguez, West Virginia’s Dana Holgorsen and former Oregon coach Chip Kelly (now with the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles) are probably out. Foley hopes to have a new coach in place before Christmas. LSU. Tevin Westbrook’s drop in the end zone. But it wasn’t just that. There was the stink bomb of a homecoming against Missouri. The wipeout in Tuscaloosa. Pretty much all of 2013, lowlighted by Vanderbilt and Georgia Southern. Florida has lost 13 of 22 games since it beat – no, throttled – Florida State 37-26 in the 2012 regular-season finale at Tallahassee. Back then, Muschamp and the Gators were flying high at 11-1 and FSU fans were left wondering if Jimbo 3-3-4 4-6-6 8-6-3 Weather wipes out Monday slate COLLEGE EVENING 3-6-0-7 4-1-5-4 4-8-8-6 SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY FAN 5 FAN 5 FAN 5 8-10-14-19-29 3-6-9-15-20 5-10-21-23-25 SATURDAY LOTTO 3-21-39-45-47-53 XTRA 2 SATURDAY POWERBALL 13-16-33-35-51 PB 28 PP x 2 11/18/14 12:24 AM 711.
