LAUREN DELGADO/FLORIDAN Malone School seniors Katie May and Lauryl Clark get some information from the University of Alabama booth and its regional recruiter, Molly White. Students attend careerfair BY LAUREN DELGADO Idelgado@jcfloridan.com High School students from Jackson, Calhoun, Holmes, Liberty and Wash- ington counties met with potential em- ployers and universities at the Chipola RegionalWorkforce Developmen t Board Region 3 Career Fair on Wednesday. "I've learned about different careers," said Vilanequea Sims, 'a senior at Malo- ne School. "If you don't know what to do, it really helps you out." Multiple military branches, Gulf Power, and Florida Public Utilities were some of the employers in attendance. For universities, the Baptist College of Florida, Troy University and Embry-Rid- dle Aeronautical University attended. Most employers agreed that students weren't aware of the multiple positions just one job venue had. "Our goal is to show them that the Florida Department of Health has multi- ple careers in it," said Karen Koonce Ed- wards, the social services director at the Jackson County Health Department. For one student, Koonce Edwards' logic made sense.

Local children caught half of the calves that were let loose for contestants to chase in the calf scramble this week, as well as half the animals available in the greased pig chase. Marianna High School calf scramble contestants were Mason Melvin, Taylor Strauss and Tim Sny- der. They competed with 18 other contestants from the tri-states area in their quest to catch one of the 10 500-pound calves available in the contest arena. Students who catch calves are required to halter-break and bring the calf back to the peanut festival next year. Melvin and Strauss both caught calves this year. MHS greased pig contestants were Ty Partin and Jonathon Giv- ens. They competed with 18 others in their quest to chase down one of the 10 50-pound pigs let loose in the contest arena. Pigs that were caught became the 'property of their catchers to raise. Partin and Givens each caught pigs. By special invitation, Marianna High School student Dylan Jack- son was invited to bring back his catch from 2009, a heifer that has recently calved. In bringing Jack- son back to show the animal he caught and raised, peanut festival directors wanted the audience and other competitors to see what this event can lead to in the life of a young person. Jackson started his 10th-grade year with no animals, but his herd See SCRAMBLE, Page 7A SUBMITTED PHOTO Dylan Jackson (in background) shows the heifer he raised from the 2009 calf scramble, "Georgia."

To reg- ister, contact Dr. Dr. Mayer James Clemmons in Chipley at 850- 638-0678 or Cindy Burns at Jack- son Hospital at 762-3645. - Dr. Mayer grew up in Tampa. He received his BA. from Yale University and his MD from Yale University Medical School. He completed post-graduate train- ing in General Surgery and Car- diothoracic Surgery at the Uni- versity of Minnesota. Dr. Mayer served for three years in the U.S. Air Force Medi- cal Corps, and then began his ca- reer at Children's Hospital, Bos- ton and Harvard Medical School. He has published extensively in the field of pediatric cardiac sur- gery and tissue engineering. The tissue engineering research has been carried out in the Cardiac Surgery Research Laboratory at Children's Hospital, Boston. His group developed the first tis- sue-engineered cardiovascular structures (pulmonary artery patch, single heart valve leaflet, complete trileaflet, heart-valved conduit) that have been im- planted into animals. Dr. Mayer is author or co-au- thor of more than 300 scientific papers and 30 book chapters. He serves on the American Board of Thoracic Surgery, and is a past President for the Society of Tho- racic Surgeons. Hearts of Promise is sponsor- ing Dr. Mayer's visit to Chipola. The foundation was established in honor of nine year-old Holly Turner by her family after her second open-heart surgery per- formed by Dr. Mayer in 2003. Holly's aunt, Carol Saunders, is a speech and English professor at Chipola. Holly's cousin, Hillary Saunders, is responsible for Dr. Mayer's visit to Chipola as part of her Phi Theta Kappa service project. Hillary has raised funds through awareness events and presentations to church and civic groups, "Beanie Baby" sales for children having heart surgery at CHB, and Hearts of Promise cookbook sales. All funds raised will go to research being con- ducted by Dr. Mayer at Children's Hospital Boston. The goal of this research is to grow valves and arteries from a patient's own tissue, thus elimi- nating the need for multiple open-heart surgeries for thou- sands of children. Proceeds from these events will be presented to Dr. Mayer during his visit to Chipola.

The flags will remain through November 14th. When the group met pri- or to the cemetery activi- ties, they wrote letters to veterans to thank them for our freedom.

The program houses veterans together and requires inmates to -keep their clothing and jail cells on par with military stan- dards. With more Iraq and Af- ghanistan veterans expected to pass through state prisons in the coming years, officials say a regimented program can help soldiers like former Army medic John Larsen, who is serving time for sexual battery and kidnap- ping after he returned home. By housing men like Larsen in separate veterans' wings, the department of corrections can provide targeted counseling. The prisoners are also super- vised by guards with military backgrounds. Larsen cared for fellow sol- diers in the urban battlefields of Iraq throughout 2007. He is now among 49 prisoners in a special veterans' dormitory that started housing inmates in May at the Santa Rosa Correctional Institu- tion in Milton. Florida has other veterans' dormitories at prisons in Wewahiticha, Indiantown and Ocala. Larsen was with the general population in the 1,300-inmate prison before he was moved to the veterans' dormitory. "This lets me know that my country hasn't really forgotten me," he said Wednesday as he stood outside his jail cell. Murals on the walls of the veteran's wing include the U.S. Navy Blue An- gels, the flag being raised at Iwo Jima and the flags for each of the armed services. Larsen said he preferred to be with his fellow veterans and thinks the atmosphere will give him a better chance of success when he is released after his eight-year sentence. Jennifer Dritt, executive direc- tor of the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence, said she was un- familiar with the program, but that if provided services tailored "I think it makes a big difference to know that even in here their service hasn't been forgotten." Sgt. Chester Williams, oversees prison wing in Milton to their experiences: "I don't think we would have trouble with that," she said. Dritt said her primary concern is that the men serve their full sentences. State officials said the program does not change Florida's law requiring offenders serve at least 85 percent of their sentence. Clarence Person, 41, lives on the same floor as Larsen and is a former Marine who served in Desert Storm. "When I first came here, I thought my life was done. I had just fallen away," he said. But Person, who is serving a 10-year sentence for sexual bat- tery, said the new setting helps. "I have a better outlook now. I know we are in prison, but this gives us some positive thoughts," he said. The men have a flag-raising ceremony each morning in the courtyard and retire the flag each evening. Sgt. Chester Williams, who served as a Marine in Vietnam, oversees the .prison wing in Milton. Williams said there are many lessons to be learned from the mistakes that were made with the treatment of Vietnam veterans. "I think it makes a big differ- ence to know that even in here their service hasn't been forgot- ten," he said. "A lot of people don't understand the hardships veterans face when we come back." To qualify for the program, the veterans' must have been honor- ably discharged. Housing the men in separate dormitories does not cost the state anything and could save the state in the long run if the program reduces recidivism, said Kenneth Tucker, Florida depart- ment of corrections secretary. And, Tucker said, the program is helping to prepare Florida's prison system for what it could see in coming years. Today, 6,700 of the state's 101,000 inmates are listed as veterans. "I think we are going to see a lot of the things we saw after Viet- nam. PTSD is real and we have a lot of Iraq and Afghanistan vets returning right now who don't always want to talk about that," he said. But Tucker said the veterans are not getting special treatment. "They are having to live up to higher standards, military stan- dards with clean language and in the condition they keep their dormitories," he said. U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Chu- muckla, and chairman of the House Committee on Veteran's Affairs, praised the program, and said that if it makes any dif- ference in reducing the number of veterans who serve repeated prison sentences, it will have worked. Abortion foes regrouping after Miss. loss The Associated Press TALLAHASSEE Sponsors of an anti-abortion citizen's initiative in Florida were regrouping Wednesday after voters in Mississippi defeated a similar "personhood" proposal. The Florida Division of Elections, meanwhile, accepted a revised pro- posed state constitutional amend- ment called "Florida ProLife Per- sonhood." The changes included adding the stylized word "ProLife" to the title. "We're continuing on," said the Rev. Bryan Longworth, director of Personhood Florida. "Obviously, the defeat in Mississippi means we have to work all the more harder." More volunteers have joined the Florida petition drive as a result of what happened Tuesday in Missis- sippi, the Port St. Lucie pastor said in a telephone interview. "A lot of people thought it was in the bag," Longworth said. "They thought Mississippi couldn't lose, but Mississippi did lose." The Florida amendment, like the one in Mississippi and those pro- posed in several other states, would outlaw abortion by declaring that life begins at fertilization. It will take 676,811 signatures to get on the ballot in Florida. Then, at least 60 percent voter approv- al would be needed to adopt the amendment. Sponsors abandoned efforts to get on Florida's 2012 ballot even before the Mississippi vote. They are focus- ing on 2014. That's partly because a provision in a new Republican-sponsored election law reduced the shelf life of petition signatures from four to two years. "We have to speed everything up," Longworth said. "We're obviously going to have to step it up." The provision has gone into effect in 62 of Florida's 67 counties, and the state is seeking approval from a federal court in Washington, D.C. for the other five counties. Those counties are covered by the federal Voting Rights Act due to past discrimination and require court or Justice Department approval for any changes in their election laws. Three other provisions of the law also are before the three-judge panel. They would reduce the num- ber of early voting days, impose new restrictions on voter registra- tion drives and require voters who change their addresses from one county to another at the polls to cast provisional ballots. Those sections of the new law are being opposed by more than two dozen groups and individu- als including the Florida League of Women Voters and National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People. They contend the "We're continuing on. Obviously, the defeat in Mississippi means we have to work all the more harder." Rev. Bryan Longworth, director of Personhood Florida provisions will suppress voting by minorities, young people and the elderly who tend to vote more for Democrats. Other, less controver- sial, parts were approved by the Jus- tice Department. The new version of the anti-abor- tion amendment adds a clause de- claring "The right to life is the para- mount and most fundamental right of a person." It says the word "person" applies to all humans including "unborn children at every stage of their bio- logical development regardless of the method of creation." The old proposal said the words "person" and "natural person" apply to all humans regardless of "method of reproduction, from the begin- ning of the biological development of that human being." Longworth said the new lan- guage came from the Family Re- search Council and that lawyers believe it's more defensible in court. He also said he thinks it is more marketable. Briefs State parks to be free on Veterans Day TALLAHASSEE --Ad- mission will be free for everyone at Florida's state parks on Friday in recog- nition ofVeterans Day. The only exception will be the Skyway Bridge Fishing Pier in St. Petersburg. Also, normal.fees will be charged for camping, tours and other special events. Park Service director Donald Forgione said the free day for all is a small token of appreciation for those who have served their country. Veterans and active duty military members also can purchase discounted annual entrance passes at any time. The 25 percent dis-. counts provide savings of $15 for an individual and $30 for a family pass. They are good at most of Florida's 160 state parks. Military identification or discharge papers must be presented to get the discounts. 2 racers killed in powerboat crash KEY WEST Officials say two offshore power- boat racers died following a violent crash during the first of three race days at the Key West World Championship. Big Thunder Marine a 46-foot Skater catamaran with four 1,200 horse- power engines crashed during the third lap of Wednesday's race inside Key West Harbor. Robert M. Morgan, of Sunrise jBeach, Mo., and Jeffrey Tillman, of Kaiser, Mo., were piloting the boat as throttleman and driver respectively. Rescue divers were de- ployed within a minute of the accident, and the crew, members were taken to a nearby hospital. Race of- ficials say both men later died from their injuries. Officials didn't immedi- ately release any details of the accident. Ex-commissioner guilty of corruption TAMPA A former Hillsborough County commissioner accused of taking bribes has been convicted on corruption charges. A federal jury in Tampa found 46-year-old Kevin White guilty Wednesday of seven counts related to conspiracy, bribery, wire fraud and lying to the FBI. He was acquitted of three other counts related to payments to his father. Authorities say White took bribes to help wrecker companies get on a law enforcement towing rotation. He was a county commissioner at the time and also chaired the Public Transportation Commission, a board that regulates wreckers and other vehicles for hire. White's attorney said his client's now-deceased father was actually behind the scheme. White's sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 27. Man guilty of killing estranged wife LARGO A Tampa Bay area man has been con- victed of fatally shooting his estranged wife and her boyfriend. A Pinellas County jury found 44-year-old Patrick Evan guilty Wednesday of two counts of first-degree murder. The jurors will re- turn Thursday to consider whether to recommend death or life in prison. A judge will make the final decision. Authorities say Eliza- beth Evans and her boy- friend, Jerry Taylor, were found naked and shot in the neck in the bedroom of her Gulfport home in December 2008. A key piece of evidence in the case was a 911 re- cording in which prosecu- tors say Patrick Evans can be heard speaking before firing two shots. Evans denied it was his voice on the recording. Juror's also rejected an alibi for Evans provided by his brother. I 2 killed in crash on 1-95 ST.

The truck began to rotate and flip, throw- ing Bellerose and his passenger, 39-year-old Gary J. Kalil, from the vehicle. Bellerose died at the scene, and Kalil was pronounced dead at a Jacksonville hospital. FHP says neither man was wearing a seat belt. No injuries were report- ed for the SUV's driver.

Steven Louis was arrest- ed after crashing through a gate and driving into the ocean during a high speed chase in Key West on Friday. He sat in the grey Oldsmobile until the water crept close to the roof be- fore climbing out. He vom- ited a pasty, white sub- stance and was treated at the hospital for a possible cocaine overdose, accord- ing to an arrest report. The car belonged to his missing ex-girlfriend, Ni- cole Fields. On Wednesday, K-9 dogs and authorities on horse- back narrowed their search to two locations, includ- ing the area surrounding Louis' home and a wooded area a few miles away.. Louis was arrested on an aggravated domes- tic battery connected to Fields' disappearance, said Osceola County sheriffs spokeswoman Twis Liza- suain. But she declined to say what details led au- thorities to the charges. Louis has been coopera- tive during the investiga- tion and has been staying at the sheriff's headquar- ters, not at the county jail, she said. Authorities also found a 10-inch kitchen knife stashed under the driver's seat, along with a stroller and a child's shoes, ac- cording to an arrest report in Key West. The blond, blue eyed mother was last seen last Thursday after attending a court hearing to get Louis to pay back child support for their 2-year-old daugh- ter. She never picked up her children from the babysit- ter. Her mother repeatedly called Fields and eventu- ally called police when she didn't hear back. Investigators said Fields may have been with Louis some time Thursday and may have spoken to an older man, but details were vague. During the investigation, deputies discovered that Louis, who has multiple drug convictions, con- tacted friends and fam- ily members and made threats to harm himself, authorities said. * ii i Fus bok |jFacebook CHIPOLA FORD Ryan McLaulin Ryan Invites All His Friends And Family To Come See Him For The Best Deal!

But finding a fix hasn't been easy. Civil and disability rights groups have banded together with an un- likely ally, the business-friendly U.S. Chamber of Commerce, to oppose a bipartisan update to the law that has been approved by a Senate com- mittee. They say the bill is weak on accountability. The administration also dislikes it. On the other side, many conser- vatives say the bill gives the federal government too much control. Even some of the Republicans who voted it out of committee, such as Tennes- see Sen. Lamar Alexander, a former U.S. education secretary, cite the same concerns. The bill that passed .the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions on Oct. 20 would give states more control and eliminate many of the proficiency re- quirements. It wouldn't require that states develop teacher and principal evaluation systems something the administration wants but would offer incentives to do so. Federal control would be focused on the bottom 5 percent of schools, which school districts would be re- quired to fix using one of a series of models. The bill also would order states to identify low-performing ' schools. Students still would be tested an- nually, something Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Tuesday at a Capitol Hill hearing that he opposes. Paul said the federal government simply needs to get out of schools' way because "the farther we get away from local government to national government the worse the oversight gets." Other Republicans such as Alexander have said that it should be up to states and local districts to develop teacher and principal evaluation systems. "1 do think there's a large philo- sophical sort of debate and battle that is part of this," Paul said. Wade Henderson, the president and CEO of the Leadership Confer- ence on Civil and Human Rights, testified that he doesn't see fixing schools as a philosophical debate at all. "I see it as a practical debate affect- ing real life students and the conse- quences of a failure to educate them properly," Henderson said. His organization was among near- ly 30 groups that said in a statement that the current bill would allow stu- dents to fall through the cracks be- cause states would not have to set a measurable achievement or even graduation rate goals. Coast Guard winding down BP spill cleanup The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS A government plan that ends most of BP's respon- sibility for cleaning up oil washing onto the Gulf Coast marks a shift toward restoration efforts by the company, but many in the region are worried about who will handle the monitoring of long-term effects from the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history. Under the agreement approved last week by the U.S. Coast Guard, BP PLC won't be required to clean up oil unless officials can prove it came from the blown-out well that caused the 2010 catastrophe a link that the company concedes will be hard- er to establish as time passes and the oil degrades. Still, a top company official said in an interview that BP is ready to respond to any oil that's deemed its responsibility. "We are finally at a stage where scientific data and assessment has defined the endpoint for the shore- line cleanup," said Mike Utsler, head of BP's Gulf Coast Restoration Or- ganization. "That endpoint can be reopened." BP will shift its focus to restor- ing areas damaged by the spill that began on April 20, 2010, when the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig ex- ploded, killing 11 workers. About $1 billion has been set aside for proj- ects that could include planting new vegetation and adding new sand to beaches, an official says. About 90 percent of the Gulf coast has been deemed clean, according to officials. The plan obtained Tulies- day by The Associated Press spells out protocol for when an area still needs to be cleaned and when BP's responsibility for that ends. Louisiana officials wouldn't give their approval because they were concerned about what they per- ceived as a lack of long-term moni- toring in the document. They also complained that the Coast Guard gave them only five days to review the plan, according to a letter sent to the agency by Garret Graves, a top aide to Gov. Bobby lindal for coastal affairs. Despite the concerns, the Coast Guard said its finalized plan would apply to Louisiana and all the Gulf states. Ralph Portier, an oil spill cleanup expert with Louisiana State Univer- sity, said he shared the concerns of Louisiana officials. "If we have learned anything from Valdez and Ixtoc, there needs to be an awareness for long-term monitoring," Portier said. He was referring to the Exxon-Val- dez tanker spill in 1989 in Alaska and the 1979 Ixtoc oil rig spill in the Gulf of Mexico. He said the Coast Guard should have a plan to respond to problems that may arise. On Florida's Panhandle, some peo- ple reacted with skepticism. Ken- neth Collins, who rents fishing poles to tourists and spends his days with local fishermen at the Pensacola Beach pier, said he doesn't think the effects of the spill are over. "It's not ok at all. We aren't scientists or anything but we are out there all the time and we can tell things aren't right," Collins said. Red fish, cobia, grouper and other species caught off the beach pier have oily deposits in their intestines when they are carved up for cleaning, he said. "Everything is just not how it used to be. When you pull a fish up, it doesn't look like it is supposed to look, like they did before," said fish- erman Ryan Johnson. Johnson said many fish now have an unnatural brownish color. New oil that shows up on clean shores would be treated "as any kind of oil response," said Coast Guard spokeswoman Lt. Suzanne Kerver. BP can now start work on restoring areas damaged by the spill.

I go l* Jaawe nuar Occupy movement debates how, or if, to police its fringe The Associated Press NEW YORK How can a movement that claims to speak for everyone turn anyone away? Occupy Wall Street is struggling with how to po- lice unwelcome elements as sex arrests, hate speech and activists pushing causes from the Chinese Communist Party to gas drilling threaten to muddle its message. The fires and shattered windows at protests in Oakland, Calif., a sex as- sault arrest in New York's Zuccotti Park and com- plaints of drug use else- where have drawn blanket statements from demon- strators against violence and unsafe behavior. But to a large degree, the movement that welcomes everyone with a gripe against the system any system is embracing its fringe, saying protest- ers with causes unrelated to Occupy Wall Street are helping spur the revival of grassroots activism.' "From the very begin- ning, there have been many issues," said Bill Dobbs, a press liaison for Occupy Wall Street in New York. "Folks who had never thought of carrying a sign are out there on Broadway with signs about an issue that's important to them." That includes Jimmy Chen, a mail man stand- ing on a ledge at Zuccotti Park, his ankle tethered to the edge of a huge banner reading, "Just say No, Chi- nese Communist Party." He says the party is as corrupt as Wall Street and claims it even gives it money. Antiwar signs also circle the tents in the Financial District, along with pleas 'o r ay health insurance to ;r.mind zero workers, and f(I, Pennsylvania to ban THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO In this Oct. 25 photo, a protester displays anti-gas exploration signs to passers-by near the edge of Zuccotti Park, the unofficial headquarters of the Occupy Wall Street movement that began in mid-September. hydraulic fracturing, the controversial technique of injecting water and chemi- cals into the earth to drill for natural gas. But demonstrators say the point of their protests is not unity of position, but in generating discus- sion. In New York, diverse opinions on any cause are welcome, said Altman and her husband, Aaron. They said they left their jobs as bakers and baristas to learn about America and rejoin a community that has stopped debating its problems. "This is an open space," Aaron Altman said.

Defying Mississippi's conservative repu- tation, women voters appeared to lead the charge against a bal- lot measure that sought to ban abortion, and could've made some birth control illegal and de- terred doctors from doing in vitro fertilization. Supporters of the so-called personhood movement, which defines life as beginning at fer- tilization, vowed to push for the amendment in five other states next year, even though this Bible Belt state may have been its best chance at success. While there were no exit polls to determine how men and women voted, women for weeks sounded off on social networking sites. In the well-mannered South, where things like sex and abortion are rarely discussed in polite com- pany, women attended a rally last month with signs such as "I love my IUD" and "Keep your public policy off my private parts." "Just from being in town all week and seeing several of the news re- ports, it looks like some women who had never carried a sign or worn a sandwich board were out there against it," said Mississippi State University political scientist MartyWiseman. Kathy Sikes of Jackson, a Catho- lic and an abortion opponent, voted against it. The mother of three grown daughters believed it would. pave the way for gov- ernment intrusion into private medical decisions such as birth control. She said also she grew tired of receiving email from men asking for her support. "All the men are the ones who said to vote for it," Sikes said, chuckling. "Well, why not? Noth- ing off their back. They have the fun and then the woman raises the child if the child comes." The measure divided the medi- cal and religious communities in Mississippi and caused some of the most ardent abortion op- ponents, including Republican Gov. Haley Barbour, to waver with their support. The Personhood USA group is trying to get the measure on 2012 ballots in Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Nevada and California. Leaders of the movement in Florida say they will attempt to get it on the 2014 ballot. Co-founder Keith Mason be- lieves the defeat in Mississippi will re-energize abortion oppo- nents because it brought more attention to the measure. "They've owned the movement themselves," he said. "It's in their hearts to fight for this." Supporters said the proposal was intended to challenge the Su- preme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established a legal right to abortion. Opponents said it would have made birth control, such as the morning-after pill or the intra- uterine device, illegal. The bal- lot measure called for abortion to be prohibited "from the mo- ment of fertilization" wording that opponents suggested would -have deterred physicians from performing in vitro fertilization because they would fear crimi- nal charges if an embryo doesn't survive. Harvard law professor Glenn Cohen, who has researched abor- tion laws and ballot initiatives, said the Mississippi amendment was vague. "I'm guessing the next time someone tries to present one of these kinds of amendments, they'll more carefully tailor the language so it very clearly only covers abortions, not these other things," Cohen said Wednesday., THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Lindsey Clark (left) and Ashley Fly urge voters to vote "NO" on Amendment 26, the so-called Personhood Amendment, in Oxford, Miss. on Tuesday. "In so doing, they neutralize part of the constituency that would be against it." That's what has happened in Ohio, according to Dr. James Johnston, an osteopath who di- rects the personhood movement there. "We changed the language of our amendment to let voters know it will not affect miscarriage, contraception or in vitro fertiliza- tioh and those were effective at convincing genuine pro-lifers from not voting on Amendment 26," Johnston said. Ohio still has a way to go be- fore the amendment shows up there. Last week, the attorney general turned down the group's proposed wording. The language must be approved before supporters can collect the 385,000 valid signatures needed for the amendment to appear on 2012 ballots. In Oregon, Colm Willis, a spokesman for the state's Right to Life chapter, said he is leery about a personhood amendment. "Our view is there are more con- structive ways to stop abortion," Willis said. "In Oregon, we don't have any regulation whatsoever, outside the Medical Board. We don't have any oversight of abor- tion clinics. We don't have any laws on restriction of abortion at all. We are more focused on mak- ing sure that women are safe and trying to restrict later-term abor- tions things that most people would agree with." In Montana, a libertarian-mind- ed state that has a history of view- ing new government rules with skepticism, abortion rights have long been viewed as a marginal is- sue. A "personhood" amendment even failed earlier this year to get past a Legislature overwhelm- ingly controlled by Republicans. Ohio vote shows unions still a major political force The Associated Press WASHINGTON- Union leaders said Wednesday their success in striking down an Ohio law curb- ing collective bargaining rights for public workers points to an energized labor movement that could be pivotal in help- ing Democrats win battle- ground states in next year's election. "What happened in Ohio last night matters ev- erywhere," said AFL-CIO President Richard Trum- ka. "I think the governors in the other states ought to take heed of this and if they don't, they do so at their own peril." The vote marked one of the biggest victories in decades for a labor move- ment that has been on the defensive all year, as unions fight measures in Ohio, Wisconsin and oth- er states that would roll back pensions and ben- efits for public employees and weaken union clout. Unions are looking to channel that energy into other states including Search From Page 1A Foxworth's escape did not pick up any leads. The search continued Wednesday on the ground.

GRACEVILLE GIRLS ASPREVIEW Hungry for more Graceville, head coach Jon Habali and Shaneika Jones work on a play during practice last week. Lady Tigers looking for another deep run BY DUSTIN KENT dkent@jcfloridan.com Graceville girls coach Jon Habali's Lady Tigers had one of their best seasons in recent memory last year, winning 23 games, a district cham- pionship, and advancing to the 2A regional finals before suffering a heartbreaking defeat to Lafayette. To replicate last season's success, the Lady Tigers will have to find a way to replace three starters, in- cluding Jackson County Player of the Year Mychea Williams. Williams was the go-to guard for Graceville in big moments last sea- son, while Jessica McClendon was the team's anchor down low and MARK SKINNERiLORIDAN Brittany Flournoy was the Lady Ti- gers' two-year starting point guard. But the Lady Tigers still have several key players back in senior post player Wynterra Pittman, se- nior guard/forward Tiara Sorey, and key juniors Zay Henderson and Taylor McDaniel, and Habali said he believes he has a team that can still compete for all of the big goals.

Bullpups continue hot streak with two wins BY SHELIA MADER Floridan Correspondent The Marianna Middle School Bullpups continued their win- ning ways Monday evening with a pair of wins on the road against county rival the Grand Ridge Middle School Indians. The Bullpups won the 'A' team game 50-27 while the 'B' team came away with a 53-23 blowout victory. 'A' team action was decided early as the Bullpups put up 21 points in the first quarter while holding the Indians to just three. By the half, the Bullpups were cruising 25-4 and never looked back. The Indians reached double digits in the third and fourth quarter, posting 10 third-quar- ter points and 11 in the final period, but it was too little, too late. The Indians were led by Blake Johnson with 11 points followed by Rhett Wright with eight, points. Marianna was led by Tre Clemmons with 12 points fol- lowed by Dre Perry with 10. Close on their heels was Herman Williams with nine points. In the 'B' game, Marianna was slow to get started, leading only 11-8 after one quarter of play. The second quarter was slug- gish offensively for both teams with a 21-12 halftime score. Marianna turned it up a notch in the second half, put- ting up 13 points in the third quarter and 19 in the final pe- riod of play. Grand Ridge was only able to post 11 points in the second half. Marianna was led by D)eontre Rhynes and Dontreal Pittinan, both with 11 points. Grand Ridge had no one in double digits, but L.arry Hill put up eight points.

We look at it as kind of a regrouping year for us," the coach said. "These girls have been together since middle school and added a few players, so I think we can pick up where we left off last year with that group." Senior Jordan Lane also returns for GHS, while junior Shanieka Jones is expected to make an impact, and Vernon transfer Nazarine Broxton gives the Lady Tigers another se- nior and some much needed depth in the frontcourt. But outside of Pittman and So- rey, most of the Lady Tigers will be asked to play bigger roles for the team this season to try to fill the void left by those departed from last year's squad. "It should be a different look for us this year. We lost a prominent post player, and our starting and backup point guards," Habali said. "Those girls are irreplaceable, but we have some girls who can step in and fill the void in their own way. We've got some new things we'll try with some new looks. "Right now, it's just bruised up," Brantley said Monday. "Nothing more than that. It just didn't feel right. The trainers thought that it would be best just to hold me (out)." Brantley completed 16 of 24 pass- es for 173 yards against the Com- modores. He has completed 59 percent of his passes for 1,360 yards this season, with six touchdowns and three interceptions.

Bozeman has suffered close losses to the likes of Holmes County, Lib- erty County, Baker and Wewahitch- ka, teams with a combined record of 30-7. The 27-25 loss to Holmes County on Sept. 23 represents the smallest margin of victory for the undefeat- ed Blue Devils all season. at 1 p.m. and Gulf Coast vs. South Georgia Tech at 3 p.m. The Lady Indians are 3-0 on the season so far and won their last game 106-39 over Faith Baptist Prep last weekend. The competition stiffens consid- erably this week, which Chipola coach David Lane said was just fine with him. "South Georgia Tech already has a big win over Tallahassee, so they're playing pretty well. Plus, they beat us in the preseason, so we've got a little motivation going in there," the coach said. "They're a good "We went through two dominant post players (last year) and played a slower game, but we've got more speed on this team, which I hope will help us out." The losses of Williams and Mc- Clendon could be felt the most, but the coach said that his new senior starting duo is doing what it takes to pick up the slack. "Jessica was probably the most dominant post since I've been here, and Mychea was player of the year, so those are definitely big shoes to fill," Habali said. "But Wynterra and Tiara are stepping up and being leaders on this team. "Wynterra was able in the past to rely on Jessica down low, but now the spotlight is on her and she's stepping up and coming to the ball. Tiara is just an incredible athlete, and she's going to handle .the ball a lot more and handle the point for us." Henderson has some starting ex- perience for Graceville, but Lane and McDaniel will be asked to carry a much bigger burden this season. "Last year, Jordan and Taylor were role players, but this year we expect more from them than to just play defense," Habali said. "We expect scoring, ball-handling and helping a half games. He was wearing an air cast Monday, but said his ankle is getting better. "It was unfortunate about my an- kle, but it could have been worse," he said. "That's the way I looked at it." South Carolina's quarterback situ- ation is less clear. . Starter Connor Shaw suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter against Arkansas, and coach Steve Spurrier said Shaw would not be allowed to practice Monday or Tuesday. The Bucks are led by a powerful running attack that nets 273 yards per game, and is paced by junior dual-threat quarterback Jacob Martinez. Martinez has rushed for 1,301 yards and 16 touchdowns this sea- son, and has also passed for 700 yards and five scores. Seniors Joey Brannen, Isaiah Rob- bins and junior Daniel Taylor have all rushed for 300+ yards as well, and have combined for 10 TDs. team, pretty athletic, and they play hard and with emotion. They beat us last year, so we've got a reason to get pretty excited for it. It's not going to be easy like it was last Saturday." Monroe Community College went to the national tournament last season, and Division-II Monroe College won the D-II national title last season. "This should be a real good test," Lane said. "All of the teams will be well coached, so we'll find out who can work. We'll learn more about ourselves this weekend." the other girls. They're becoming real players now. We expected mini- mal things out of them last year, but now we're expecting a lot more. We need them to score." Jones could be an X-factor for the Lady Tigers, according to Habali. "Shanieka is an all around player. She can score, be a playmaker, a defender ... we expect a little bit of everything out of Shanieka," the coach said. Habali said he believes his team has the tools to go far this season, and hopes that last year's disap- pointing end could serve as moti- vation for this group. "The potential for them is there definitely," he said. "We're not try- ing to look too far ahead, but we know what's at stake and what we're looking towards. Some of these girls have been to the regional fi- nal twice, so hopefully that will be in the back of our minds this year and we'll try to take it to the next level. "I feel like we worked pretty hard last year, but we just came up a little short. We'll use that drive in a positive way, work harder, and get better every day."

JACKSON COUNTY FLORIDAN www.jcfloridan.com UCF AD resigns amid recruiting allegations The Associated Press ORLANDO Central Florida athletic director Keith Tribble resigned Wednesday amid al- legations of recruiting violations in the school's football and basketball programs. School President John Hitt announced the move at a news conference to discuss a notice of allega- tions the school received this week from the NCAA. The notice details a list of infractions the NCAA says Tribble and other athletic department employees engaged in with reputed agent runners and several players. UCF received an in- quiry letter in August for violations in its football program that occurred between 2007 and 2009 and involved a relation- ship with Ken Caldwell, a recruiter for a professional sports agency, and his as- sociate, Brandon Bender. The notice of allega- tion said that Caldwell and Bender "assisted the institution in the re- cruitment of six men's basketball players and five football perspective student-athletes." "The conduct detailed by the NCAA's report falls far short of our university standards and my own expectations of how our athletics program should operate," Hitt said. Al Harms, a vice presi- dent of communications at the school, has been appointed interim athletic director. Assistant coach David Kelly, the football pro- gram's top recruiter, also has resigned, Hitt said. The school also sus- pended basketball coach Donnie Jones for three games and gave him a let- ter of reprimand. Hitt said Jones "failed to maintain a culture of compliance" in the recruitment of two players. UCF football coach George O'Leary was not cited for wrongdoing in the NCAA report. Tribble took over as UCF AD in 2006 after serving as the director of the Orange Bowl Committee. He over- saw the construction and opening of UCF's first on- campus football stadium in 2007. Hitt said the allegations are not expected to affect the school's anticipated move from Conference USA to the Big East. UCF has yet to receive an of- ficial invitation, but Hitt said he spoke with Big East Commissioner John Marinatto on Wednesday about the allegations and understood that the mat- ter won't affect the move. "I think it's moving around rather nicely," Hitt said. "It's not a game- changer. It doesn't delay or impede our entry into the Big East." The school has 90 days from Nov. 7 to respond to the report: University general counsel Scott Cole said the school will work with the NCAA to "get a consensus on appropriate penalties."

The 6-5 Johnson is ranked as the nation's No. 92 prospect by ESPN.com. He averaged nine points and seven rebounds as a junior and won the Under Armour Dunk Contest in California in August. From wire reports Sneads From Page 1B The coach said she would have liked to have seen more consistency on the serve Sneads had just six ace serves to nine service errors but the performance on the whole was impressive given the 11-day layoff between the district championship game and Tuesday's game.

But critics say Paterno should have done more. "When an institution discovers abuse of a kid, their first reaction was to protect the reputation of the institution and the perpetrator," John Salve- son, former president of the Pennsylvania chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said this week. Sandusky founded The Second Mile charity in 1977, working with at-risk youths. It now raises and spends several million dol- lars each year for its pro- grams. Paterno is listed on The Second Mile's website as a member of its honor- ary board of directors, a group that includes busi- ness executives, golfing great Arnold Palmer and several NFL Hall of Fam- ers and coaches, including retired Pittsburgh Steelers stars Jack Ham and Franco Harris. His sudden departure leaves his fans and detrac- tors wondering who exact- ly was the real "Joe Pa." versity and the young men who have been entrusted to my care. I have the same goal today." A day earlier, Paterno had showed up for practice and adoring crowds rallied outside his modest home into the night, chanting his name. But Paterno, whose foot- ball program bore the mot- to "Success with, Honor," could not withstand the backlash from a scandal. that goes well beyond the everyday stories of corrup- tion in college sports. Sandusky, who retired from Penn State in June 1999, maintained his inno- cence through his lawyer. Paterno has defended his decision to take the news to Curley and Schultz. Pa- terno said it was obvious that the graduate student, since identified as Mc- Queary, was "distraught," but said he was not told about the "very specific ac- tions" of the sexual assault in the grand jury report. After Paterno reported the incident to Curley, Sandusky was told to stay The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Joe Paterno, the Penn State football coach who preached success with honor for half a century but whose legend was shat- tered by a child sex abuse scandal, said Wednesday he will retire at the end of this season. Paterno said he was "ab- solutely devastated" by the case, in which his onetime heir apparent, Jerry San- dusky, has been charged with molesting eight boys in 15 years, including at the Penn State football complex. He said he hoped the team could finish its sea- son with "dignity and determination." The school's board of trustees could still force Paterno to leave imme- diately. It also could take action against the univer- sity president, Graham Spanier. Paterno said the trustees, who had been considering his fate, should "not spend a single minute discuss- ing my status" and have more important matters to address. The 84-year-old Pa- terno has been engulfed by outrage that he did not take more action after a graduate assistant, Mike McQueary, came to him in 2002 and reported seeing Sandusky in the Penn State showers with a 10-year-old boy. Paterno notified the athletic director, Tim Cur- ley, and a vice president, Gary Schultz. Curley and Schultz have since been charged with failing to report the inci- dent to the authorities. Pa- terno hasn't been accused of legal wrongdoing. But he has been assailed, in what the state police com- nouncement came three days before Penn State hosts Nebraska in its final home game of the season, a day set aside to honor se- niors on the team. Penn State has bounced back from a mediocre 2010 season to go 8-1 this year, with its only loss to power- house Alabama. The Nit- tany Lions are No. 12 in the AP college football poll. After 19th-ranked Ne- braska, Penn State plays at Ohio State and at No. 16 Wisconsin, both Big Ten ri- vals. It has a chance to play in the Big Ten champion- ship game Dec. 3, with a Rose Bowl bid on the line. In the statement, Pa- terno said: "I grieve for the children and their fatnilies, and1 pray for their comfort and relief." He went on: "I have come to work every day for the last 61 years with one clear goal in mind: To serve the best interests of this uni- missioner called a lapse of "moral responsibility," for not doing more to stop Sandusky. "This is a tragedy," Pater- no said in a statement. "It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more." Paterno met with his coaching staff and players. in the football building at Penn State for about 10- 15 minutes Wednesday, a meeting players described as very emotional. Paterno met with his coaching staff and players for about 10-15 minutes in an auditorium of the football facility. Standing at a podium, he told them he was leaving and broke down in tears. Players gave him a standing ovation when he walked out. Junior quarterback Ste- phon Morris said some players also were nearly in tears as Paterno spoke. "I still can't believe it," Morris said. "I've never seen coach Paterno like that in my life." Asked what was the main message of Paterno's talk, Morris said: "Beat Nebraska." The decision to retire by the man affectionately known as "Joe Pa" brings to an end one of the most storied coaching careers, not just in college football, but in all sports. Paterno won 409 games, a record for major college football, and is in the middle of his 46th year as coach. His figure patrolling the sideline thick-rimmed glasses and windbreaker, tie and khaki pants was as unmistakable at Penn State as its classic blue and white uniforms and the name HappyValley, a place where no one came close to Paterno's stature.

Check out the "Just Right Crossword Puzzles" books at QulllDriverBooks.com 11-10 2011 UFS, Dist. by Universal Uclick for UFS Dear Annie: I recently turned 50, and I hate it. I wasn't bothered when I turned 40, but this birthday is really eating at me. I used to be very athletic, but with all the abuse I put my body through, I had to quit playing sports. I was well on my way into a depression when a woman half my age came into my life. I love my wife dearly, and we have been together for more than 25 years. I would never cheat on her, but I can't seem to get "Wanda" out of my head. She really has shown an interest in me. We email each other and have gone out for lunch a couple of times, and I find myself grow- ing quite fond of her. Is this what they call a midlife crisis? I want to tell Wanda how I feel about her, thinking maybe it would scare her away. I don't know what to do. Well, I do know what to do. I just need to hear it from At the bridge table, usually the better you play, the luckier you will be. Doing the correct prepa- ration by thinking along the right lines when you are the declarer will result in your playing well. Can you do that in this deal? You barrel into six no-trump, and West leads the heart 10. What would be your plan? When in no-trump, count your top tricks. Here, you have 11: one spade, four hearts, two diamonds and four clubs. From where might the 12th winner come? There are two chances: the spade finesse work- ing or the diamonds splitting 3-3. A finesse is more likely than a 3-3 break, but be- fore taking that finesse, is there a way to get home if either diamonds divide 3-3 or the spade finesse works? You should not play three rounds of diamonds, because if they break 4-2, you will lose two tricks. Instead, try to duck a diamond. At trick two, lead a diamond from the board and, if East plays low, put in your nine. It loses, but you can win West's return and cash the ace-king of diamonds. When they prove to be 3-3, you can claim. But if they prove to be 4-2, you can still try the spade finesse. What if East plays the diamond 10 at trick two? If you duck, East can shift to a spade, making you commit yourself immediately. Instead, win that trick, return to the dummy and lead another diamond toward your hand, hoping to be able to duck the trick to West. someone else. Horoscope SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Being domineering can lead to complications with those who share your day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23- Dec. 21) Even if it causes you some major incon- venience, don't let down those who are depending upon you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don't coerce a friend to agree with you when you know that she or he isn't in accord with your thinking. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) An important goal can be achievable when you get past all your doubt and inadequacy. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If experience has taught you that a certain topic agitates a friend, stay off of it or refuse to engage if another brings it up. ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Be on your toes, because someone who knows how to manipulate your gener- ous nature could get you to spend some of your hard-earned money on themselves. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - If you can't avoid deal- ing with someone who has a faculty for getting under your skin, be as tactful as you can. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - It's going to just be one of those days when neglected duties or commitments are likely to catch up with you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Even il the position you take is an unpopular one, don't let your peers pres- sure you into doing some- thing that goes against your better judgment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Keep a cool head when things go awry at home, and encourage other fam- ily members to do the same. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Don't allow yourself to blow up over something that you've handled with tolerance up until now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - People are a bit touchy right now, making any commercial dealings a bit trickier than usual. If you're involved with someone who is having a hard time keeping cool, help him or her by smiling copiously. - DESPERATE FOR HELP Dear Desperate: Yes, this is what is called a midlife crisis. You are at a vulner- able age. Your life is probably past the halfway point, and it is intoxicating to find that Wanda is attracted to you. It makes you feel young again. The flirta- tion is already a form of betrayal, and continued contact is likely to lead to an affair, whether you intend it or not. You are smart enough to realize this. Please don't make your wife pay for your fears about aging. Do something to rekindle the spark in your marriage. Have a romantic dinner. Stay overnight at a hotel. Get counseling if you need it. Those couples who get through these rough spots often find their marriages are stronger and more fulfilling. We hope you will be one of them.

PUTN4i Recall: Hand trucks sold at The Home Depot and Sam's Club The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the U.S. Consumer Prod- uct Safety Commission (CPSC), and Harper Trucks Inc., of Wichita, Kan., have announced the recall of about 292,000 hand trucks. When the tires are overinflated, they can ex- plode causing the wheel hub to separate or break, ejecting pieces of the hub. This poses an injury hazard to bystanders. Harper Trucks has received 19 reports of overinflated tires exploding that resulted in 19 injuries, including broken bones, loss of sight in one eye, contusions and lacerations. "Harper Truck" and the model number can be found on an adhesive sticker on the hand truck frame's cross member. Hand trucks with two-piece, grey metal wheels are not in- cluded in this recall. Model Number K52K16 (P Handle; 1-piece, composite wheels) JEDTK1935P (Dual Hand/Platform Truck; 3- piece, four bolt, metal/chrome plated wheels) 51TK19 (Dual Handles; 3-piece, four bolt, metal/chrome plated wheels) BKTAK19 (P Handle; 3-piece, four bolt, metal/chrome plated wheels) PGCSK19BLK (Dual Handles; 3-piece, four )olt, metal/chrome plated wheels) The recalled hand trucks were manufactured in China and sold at The Home Depot from September 2008 through March 2009 and Sam's Club from January 1993 through Janu- . ary 2002 for between $28 and $42. Consumers should stop using the product im- mediately and contact Harper Trucks for a free repair kit that includes either lock washers to secure the four bolts on the 3- piece, metal/chrome plated wheels or new de- sign replacement tires for the 1-piece compo- site tires.

The latest hitch in more than a week of political turmoil came less than an hour after Papandreou made a televised address to the na- tion saying Greece's political parties were joining together to save the debt-ridden country from rapidly approaching bankruptcy. The crisis erupted last week, when Papandreou said he would put a hard-fought 130 billion ($177 billion) European debt deal to a ref- erendum horrifying European leaders, battering international markets and sparking a rebellion within his own party, with lawmak- ers accusing him of endangering Greece's bailout. In response, Papandreou with- drew the plan for a popular vote and agreed to stand aside and hand over THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Greek President Carolos Papoulias (right) talks at his office in Athens with Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou on Wednesday. to an interim government whose main aim will be to secure a vital 8 billion ($10.9 billion) installment of bailout loans and approve the debt agreement. But after a historic deal with con- servative opposition leader Antonis Samaras Sunday night to form the transition government, negotia- tions dragged on, missing self-im- posed deadline after deadline. Repeated pledges to announce a new prime minister came to nothing despite intense European pressure to quickly resolve the crisis. A final decision had been all but certain Wednesday night, with Pa- pandreou delivering a farewell tele- vised speech to the nation in which he wished his successor well - although he did not name him. JACKSON COUNTY FLORIDAN t www.jcfloridan.com Iran vows no retreat from nuclear path The Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran Presi- dent Mahmoud Ahma- dinejad vowed Wednesday that Iran won't retreat "one iota" from its nuclear pro- gram, denying claims that it seeks atomic weapons. Key ally Russia gave the Islamic Republic a major boost, rejecting tighter sanctions despite a U.N. watchdog. report detailing suspected arms-related advances. Israel called on the world to stop Iran's nuclear pro- gram in response to the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency's report. The Israeli statement did not refer to the option of a military attack despite re- cent signals that would be a possibility. In his first reaction to the report, Ahmadine- jad strongly criticized the agency a day after it claimed Tehran was on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon saying the IAEA is discrediting itself by siding with "ab- surd" U.S. accusations. The comments, broad- cast live on state TV were a sharp rebuke to Western warnings that Iran appears to be engaged in a danger- ous defiance of interna- tional demands to control the Islamic Republic's nu- clear ambitions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's of- fice said the IAEA report confirmed long-stand- ing claims by Israel and Western countries that Iran is developing nuclear bombs. "The significance of the report is that the interna- tional community must bring about the cessation of Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, which endanger the peace of the world and of the Middle East," the statement said. Russians desperately try to save Mars moon probe The Associated Press MOSCOW A Russian space probe became stuck in orbit Wednesday after an equipment failure, raising fears it could come crashing down and spill tons of highly toxic fuel on Earth unless engineers can steer it back to its flight path. One U.S. expert said the space- craft could become the most dangerous manmade object ever to hit the planet. The mishap was the latest in a series of recent Russian failures that have raised concerns about the condition of the country's space industries. The unmanned $170 million Phobos-Ground craft was suc- cessfully launched by a Zenit-2 booster rocket just after mid- night Moscow time Wednesday from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It separated from In this Nov. 2, photo distributed by Russian Roscosmos space agency on Wednesday, the unmanned Phobos-Grunt probe is seen on the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. the booster about 11 minutes later and was supposed to fire its engines twice to set out on its path toward Mars, but never did. The craft was aiming to get ground samples from Phobos, one of Mars' two moons. Federal Space Agency chief Vladimir Popovkin said neither of the two engine burns worked, probably because the craft's ori- entation system failed. He said engineers have three days to re- set and fix the spacecraft's com- puter program before its batter- ies die but the space agency later said the probe's orbit and its power sources could allow it to circle the Earth for about two weeks. Russia news agencies cited space experts who offered wide- ly varying estimates of how long the craft could stay in orbit be- fore crashing down from five days to one month. James Oberg, a NASA veteran who now works as a space con- sultant, said it's still possible to regain control over the probe. "This is not an impossible chal- lenge," Oberg said in an email to The Associated Press. "Nothing irreversibly bad has happened, the full propellant load is still available, and short-term 'stay healthy' maneuvers can be per- formed" like deploying the raft's solar panels to boost its power. He warned, that if control- lers failed to bring the Phobos- Ground back to life, the tons of highly toxic fuel it carries would turn it into the most dangerous spacecraft ever to fall from orbit. "About seven tons of nitrogen teroxide and hydrazine, which could freeze before ultimately entering, will make it the most toxic falling satellite ever," he said. Oberg said such a crash could cause significantly more dam- age than the Russian Mars-96 that crashed in the Andes Moun- tains or the American USA 193 spy satellite that was shot down by a U.S. Navy missile in 2008 to prevent it from splashing its toxic fuel.
