A Cottondale couple
is getting ready to turn
heads with a new pink fire
truck.
Philip Meadows, a re-
tired firefighter and in-
structor at Chipola Col-
lege, and his wife Lori
Meadows, former chair of
Central Jackson Relay for
Life, have organized a lo-
cal chapter of Guardians
of the Ribbon/Pink Heals,
the national organization
known for its advocacy
for cancer sufferers and
its colorful police cars and
fire trucks.
In fact, it was a local ap-
pearance by the Jackson-
ville chapter's Pink Heals
fire truck that sparked the
idea for the new chapter,
and led to the creation of
its own rolling ambassa-
dor, "Connie."
Lori Meadows, in a
phone interview Thurs-
day, said the goal of the

Pink Heals Jackson Coun-
ty Chapter, a nonprofit
organization, is to raise
funds that will support
local women battling any
type of cancer. And it's a
topic she saysis dear to
her heart.
Meadows' father passed
away from cancer and her
mother is a breast cancer
survivor, which gives her
a lot of experience car-
ing for those battling the
disease. It also means she
knows about, the finan-
cial problems that can
accompany the medical
problems.
When her mother was
diagnosed, Meadows said,
money was tight. And the
search for financial assis-
tance, while trying to deal
with the illness, was an
unwelcome burden.
That additional struggle
- of putting gas in the car,
paying the light bill, buy-
ing groceries is where
Meadows hopes the new

OP: Fast rising
water from the
Chipola River
was flowing into the
park at Citizens Lodge
on Thursday putting
trails, benches and
picnic tables under
water. According to
the National Weather
Service measuring
station located on
Highway 90 in
Marianna, the river
was at 19.76 feet
above flood stage at
2 p.m. Thursday and
is predicted to crest
at 20.4 feet at noon
today. BOTTOM: A
walking-trail bench
and exercise stop at
Citizens Lodge are
transformed into
islands by rising river
water on Thursday.
According to Jackson
County Emergency
Management, the
water will be receding
over the weekend in
areas with minor and
moderate flooding.
However, areas locat-
ed along creeks and
rivers should keep
an eye on conditions
because of water that
has not reached the
county yet.

Hispanic, women farmers deadline for claims nearing


Special to the-Floridan

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-
sack has reminded Hispanic and
women farmers and ranchers
who allege discrimination by the
USDA in past decades that there
are 45 dAys remaining in the fil-
ing period closing March 25.
"Hispanic and women farm-
ers who believe they have faced
discriminatory practices in the
past from the USDA have 45
days left to file a claim in order
to have a chance to receive a
cash payment or loan forgive-
ness," Vilsack says. "USDA urges
potential claimants to contact
the Claims Administrator for in-
formation and mail their claim
packages on or before March


25, 2013."
The process, offers a volun-
tary alternative to litigation for
each Hispanic or female farmer
and rancher who can prove that
USDA denied his or her applica-
tion for loan or loan servicing
assistance for discriminatory
reasons for certain time periods
between 1981 and 2000. As an-
nounced in February 2011, the
voluntary claims process will
make available at least $1.33
billion for cash awards and tax
relief payments, plus up to $160
million in farm debt relief, to
eligible Hispanic and women
farmers and ranchers. There are
no filing fees to participate in the
program.

'Hairspray'in the


air at CRAA meeting


Special to the Floridan

Chipola Theatre will
present highlights from
the upcoming musical
"Hairspray" at the Chipola
Regional Arts Association
meeting Tuesday, Feb. 19,
at Jim's Buffet and Grill in
Marianna.
The public is invited to
attend the Dutch-treat
buffet luncheon which be-
,gins at 11:30 a.m. and the
program at noon. During
the program, there will be
a drawing for free tickets
to this historically sold
out musical' series which
opens March 13.
CRAA recently awarded
mini-grants to district'
teachers. Last year, half
of the grant applications
were not funded, but
many supporters stepped


forward and contributed
to the program and all of
this year's applications
were funded. CRAA is now
seeking talented music, art
and theatre students from
Washington County to ap-
ply for their rotating schol-
arship program.
The Partner in the Arts
campaign has just been
launched to support next
year's CRAA programs.
Contributors to this cam-
paign riot only have the op-
portunity to help support
the arts in the community,
but are also recognized on
the Artist Series programs
with sold out performanc-
es at the new Center for the
Arts.
For information on the
CRAA meeting, contact
Daniel Powell at powelld@
chipola.edu or 718-2257.


continue reaching out to poten-
tial Hispanic and female claim-
ants around the country to get
the word out to individuals who
may be eligible for this program
so they have the opportunity to
participate.
Call center representatives can
be reached at 1-888-508-4429.
Claimants may register for a
claims package by calling the
number or visiting the website at
www.farmerclaims.gov or may
download the forms from the
website. All those interested in
learning more or receiving infor-
mation about the claims process
and claims packages are encour-
aged to attend meetings in your
communities about the claims
process and contact the website


at any time or call center tele-
phone number Monday through
Friday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST. The
claims period is for Sept. 24,
2012 through March 25, 2013.
Independent legal services
companies will administer the
claims process and adjudicate
the claims. Although there are
no filing fees to participate and a
lawyer is not required to partici-
pate in the claims process, per-
sons seeking legal advice may
contact a lawyer or other legal
services provider.
Under Vilsack's leadership,
USDA has instituted a com-
prehensive plan to strengthen
the Department as a model
service provider and to ensure
that every farmer and rancher


is treated equally and fairly as
part of "a new era of civil rights"
at USDA. In February 2010, the
Secretary announced the Pig-
ford II settlement with African
American farmers, and in Oc-
tober 2010, he announced the
Keepseagle settlement with Na-
tive American farmers. Both of
those settlements have since
received court approval. Unlike
the cases brought by African
American and Native American
farmers, the cases filed by His-
panic and women farmers over a
decade ago were not certified as
class actions. The claims process
provides a voluntary alternative
to continuing litigation for His-
panic and female farmers and
ranchers who want to use it.

SEBTS President Danny Akin gives sermon at BCF


Special to the Floridan

Faculty and students at The
Baptist College of Florida in
Graceville were truly blessed and
challenged by Danny Akin, presi-
dent of Southeastern Baptist
Theological Seminary in Wake
Forest, N.C., as he spoke in the
R. G. Lee Chapel on Monday, Jan.
28.
Akin began his sermon by rais-
ing the question, "Have you ever
wanted to be a part of something
bigger than yourself?" He went
on to explain that there are 7,000
people groups which totals about
half of the world's population
that are not only lost, but do not
have access to the gospel. Akin
stressed that when it comes to
evangelism, we should not only
focus on those who are lost, but
those who do not have access to
the gospel. According to Akin,
there are people in the world who
have never even heard the name
of Jesus. He dared BCF students


to pray, "Lord, why shouldn't I
go?" rather than, "Lord, should
I go?" when presented with op-
portunities to reach the nations
with the gospel.
Preaching from the book of
Jonah, Akin highlighted the
fact that Jonah preferred com-
fort over reaching the people of
Nineveh. He encouraged stu-
dents to not serve God only when
it's convenient or comfortable,
but go wherever He leads. Akin
closed his sermon by challeng-
ing students with the question,
"Are you more concerned about
your comfort or the conversion
.of others?"
After chapel, there was a spe-
cial luncheon held in the Well-
ness Center where BCF juniors
and seniors who were interested
in attending SEBTS received
information packets and were
given the opportunity to meet
with Akin and ask questions re-
garding the seminary and degree
programs.


Akin earned his Bachelor of
Arts in Biblical Studies from The
Criswell College, a Master of Di-
vinity from Southwestern Bap-
tist Theological Seminary, and a
Doctor of Philosophy from the
University of Texas at Arling-
ton. Akin has served in senior
administrative and leadership
positions at 'Criswell College,
The Southern Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary, and currently
as President of SEBTS. He has
ministered on the mission field
in Arizona, Australia, Thailand,
Paraguay, India, 'Kenya, and
Asia, as well as authored many
published articles and books in-
cluding Five Who Changed the
World, A Theology for the
Church, Discovering the Bibli-
cal Jesus, and Epistles of John,
appearing in the New American
Commentary.

spring 2013 chapel speakers, call

Scouting struggles with ban on gay members


Under the pressure of
declining member-
ship, reduced corporate
contributions, and fewer public
schools in which to conduct
their activities, the Boy Scouts
of America are considering
lifting their traditional ban on
accepting youth members
and adult volunteers who are
gay.
A vote by the organization's
National Executive Board,
scheduled for Feb. 8, was post-
poned until the Scouts' annual
meeting in May, when 1,400
members of Scouting's national
council will debate whether
to allow local groups to set
their own recruitment policies.
Membership in Boy Scouts has
shrunk by about one-third


since 1999.
A recent nationwide poll con-
ducted by Quinnipiac University
found 55 percent
S of respondents
'* -y approve of lifting
the ban to include
gays. President
Barack Obama, ex
David officio honorary
Yount president of the
_O__M Scouts, supports
gay membership
in Scouting. Gay activists are
expected to oppose a merely
selective opening of the mem-
bership to gays in favor of a total
lifting of the ban.
Jennifer Tyrell, a lesbian from
Ohio who was forced out as a
den leader, recently delivered
to Scouting executives more


than 1.4 million signatures on
petitions seeking an end to the
ban. Although the Supreme
Court in 2000 upheld the Scouts'
right to exclude gays, many
public school districts are now
reluctant to offer meeting space
to the Scouts because BSA
gives the appearance of being
discriminatory. Scouts continue
to hold their activities on church
property, however.
More than 70 percent of all
troops nationwide are spdn-
sored by a 'church group,
although individual Scouts are
not required to be members of
the sponsoring denomination.
Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran
and Baptist churches have
been long affiliated with the
Boy Scouts of American. The


Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
day Saints was the first church
sponsor of Scouting and today
contributes the most Scouts
(420,977) of any officially char-
tered organization in the U.S.
Scouting's ban on gay member-
ship reflects the organization's
opposition to homosexual
behavior.
Its "Youth Leadership" policy,
adopted in 2004, reads, in part:
"Scouts are expected to take
up leadership positions. In the
unlikely event that an older
boy were to hold himself out as
homosexual, he would not be
able to continue in a youth lead-
ership position." The Scouts'
fixation on sexuality probably
stems in part from sex-abuse
cases involving Scout leaders


that resulted in convictions and
financial settlements.
In 2012, the Scouts were
forced by court order to release
over 20,000 pages documenting
1,200 alleged dhild sexual abuse
cases that occurred between
1965 and 1985. It is important to
clarify that these adult offenders
were not homosexuals they
were pedophiles.
Since 2003 new adult volun-
teers to Scouting have been
required to pass a criminal
background check.

On Religion


Benedict XVI retires on his own terms


In the spring of 2009, Pope Benedict
XVI stopped in Aquila, Italy, to pray
at the shrine of St. Celestine V.
The pope left his pallium a wool
garment that resembles a yoke, symbol-
izing bonds between a shepherd and his
flock on this medieval pope's tomb.
Then, 15 months later, he visited a ca-
thedral outside Rome to pray before the
.relics, once again, of St. CelestineV Few
noticed Benedict's actions.
So who was this saint? He was the
elderly priest who, "somewhat against
his will," was elected pope in 1294,
observed theologian Scott Hahn of
Franciscan University of Steubenville,
Ohio. Before long, Pope Celestine V is-
sued a decree allowing occupants of St.
Peter's throne to step down a step he
then proceeded to take.
Looking back, it appears Benedict's
visit to shrines honoring this particular
pope were "probably more than pious
acts," noted Hahn, on his Facebook
page. "More likely, they were profound
and symbolic gestures of a very person-
al nature, which conveyed a message
that a pope can hardly deliver any other
way."
This was a message consistent with
the 86-year-old pope's stunning an-
nouncement this week days before
the start of Lent that he would
end his eight-year papacy on Feb. 28.


Although it has been seven centuries
since the voluntary resignation of a
pope, this option remains
in canon law and was
affirmed by Pope Paul VI
in 1975 and the Pope John
Paul II in 1996.,
Benedict said he was
L : thinking about the future
Sof the papacy, not the past:
Terry "In today's world, subject
lWattingly to so many rapid changes
and shaken by questions
of deep relevance for the life of faith, in
order to govern the bark of Saint Peter
and proclaim the Gospel, both strength
of mind and body are necessary,
strength which in the last few months
has deteriorated in me to the extent that
I have had to recognize my incapacity to
adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted
to me."
The Vatican Press Office noted that
these words were consistent with his
thoughts in the 2010 book, "Light of
the World." While it would be wrong to
flee in times of trouble, Benedict said:
"When a pope realizes clearly that he
is no longer physically, mentally and
spiritually capable of carrying out his
role, then there is legally the possibility,
and also the obligation, to resign."
Vatican leaders are planning.for the
election of a pope by Easter.

JCSO Honor Guard receives donation
Special to the Floridan -- -

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office es-
tablished its first ever honor guard team in
2010. The team was established to render
military honors to fallen officers, assist our
military with providing honors to fallen ac-
tive duty military personnel and veterans,
and provide honOrary services for the citi-
zens of Jackson County.
With these services, the team attempts to
provide families of the fallen with closure
and peace during their time of grief by leav-
ing a lasting impression and memory of
their loved one.
The team currently consists of six members
of the Jackson County Sheriff's Department ,, -
who volunteer their services for these func- re.:,,/ ., ..-
tions and training during their free time. The "
team has been funded by individual spon- 7 nC Ui r
sorship and fundraisers; it does not utilize -TC-l
money from the department's budget.
On Feb. 1, the Honor Guard received a
generous contribution from the First Fed- -..
eral Bank for the amount of $1,000 at the
Jackson County Sheriff's Office. Jackson
County Sheriff Lou Roberts and the Honor
Guard team extend their gratitude to the
First Federal Bank and its administration for SUBMITTED PHOTO
the contribution. The money will help with Garrett Grimsley and Don Nowell of First Federal Bank present the JCSO Honor Guard with a generous
the team's uniforms, equipment and train- contribution. From left: Deputy Ronnie Furniss, Sgt. Rick Kerr, Jackson County Sheriff Lou Roberts, Garrett

Be on guard to ensure financial independence


Special to the Flordan

February is National Senior In-
dependence Month, which pro-
vides an excellent opportunity
for Florida's seniors to evaluate
their finances to ensure they have
made the best financial decisions
to suit their needs today and pro-
tect themselves from fraud.
We all would like to maintain
our physical independence and,
most assuredly, our financial in-
-dependence as we age. Unfor-
tunately, older adults are often
targeted by scam artists offering
fraudulent investment deals and
phony requests for charitable
contributions. Alerts on these
and other scams can be found
on the Department of Financial


Services' On Guard for Seniors
website along with online videos,
information and tips to help se-

SIt is important to remember
that scam artists are smart and
can leave even the most confident
person in a daze at the end of a


conversation, while extracting
valuable information dtiring the
conversation. Scam artists will try
to get personal information from
you by asking genuine questions
about your family, health, hob-
bies, political views or prior em-
ployers. Before making a financial
decision, take the time to stop
and think about your immediate
and future financial needs.
Below are some tips to help you
break away from a potential bad
offer:
) End the conversation: Simply
tell the person, "I am sorry, I am
not interested."
) Turn the tables and ask ques-
tions: Before you give out infor-
mation about yourself or sign on
the dotted line, isk, "Are you a


licensed broker? Is that invest-
ment registered?" Check out the
seller and the investment.
) Avoid making a financial de-
cision before checking out an
agent or company: Scam art-
ists will create business names
and associations that appear
to be part of larger, well-known
advocacy groups or agencies.
Always make sure you are work-
ing with a licensed agent and/or
company.

Oversold cancer screenings you should avoid

Oversold cancer screenings you should avoid


consumer Reports recently
shone a light on oversold
cancer screenings that
might confuse rather than clarify.
The report evaluates 11 cancer
screenings, finding that eight
should be avoided.
. The report, available online
at ConsumerReports.org and
wherever magazines are sold,
notes that the ratings are for
people who are not at high risk
and without signs or symptoms
of cancer.
. Screening tests for cervical,
colon and breast cancers are the
most effective tests available,
according to Consumer Reports'
first ratings of cancer-screening
tests. But most people shouldn't
waste their time on screenings
for bladder, lung, oral, ovarian,
prostate, pancreatic, skin and
testicular cancers. The ratings
are based mainly on evidence-
based reviews from the U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force,
an independent group supported
by the Department of Health and
Human Services.
Research suggests that even
doctors don't always agree on
"which screenings are neces-
sary. In fact, when Consumer


Reports sought information on
the percentages of patients who
are screened for colon cancer, it
found striking variations in the
states of Massachusetts, Minne-
sota and Wisconsin. In Mas-
sachusetts, for example, where
there are 150 medical groups,
the lowest group rate for colon
cancer screening was 47 percent
while the highest was just about
double that figure (95 percent).
Get these screenings
Consumer Reports recom-
mends three screenings. The
highlights below represent a brief
synopsis of the report.
The screening for cervical can-
cer gets Consumer Reports' high-
est score, and is recommended
for women age 21 to 65. Women
under 21 should skip the screen-
ing,,a Pap smear, because the
cancer is uncommon before then
and the tests are not accurate for
this age group.
The screenings for colon cancer
gets Consumer Reports' top score
for people ages 50 to 75. How-
ever, screening is less valuable
for people 76 to 85. Colon cancer
screening receives a low score
for people 86 and older and the


lowest possible score for people
49 and younger. Younger people
should consider testing only if
they are at high risk because the
cancer is uncommon before age
50.
The screening for breast cancer
gets Consumer Reports' second-
highest score for women 50 to
74. But women in their 40s or
those 75 and older should talk
with their doctor to see whether
the benefits outweigh the harm
based on their risk factors.
Avoid these screenings
Consumer Reports high-
lighted eight cancer screenings
that people at low risk should
avoid, including the following
three screenings which received
Consumer Reports' lowest rating.
More ratings and greater detail,
such as which individuals are at
high risk and might need a given
test, are available in the report.
The screening for ovarian can-
cer gets Consumer Reports' low-
est Rating for women of all ages,
because the screening tests are
not very effective. Women don't
need to be tested unless they are
at high risk. There are two tests:
a transvaginal ultrasound or the


CA-125 blood test, which mea-
sures a protein possibly associ-
ated with ovarian cancer.
The screening for pancreatic
cancer gets Consumer Reports'
lowest Rating for adults of all
ages. People don't need the test
(genetic tests or imaging tests of
the abdomen) unless they are at
high risk, because no test is likely
to detect the disease at a curable
stage.
The screening for testicular
cancer gets Consumer Reports'
lowest rating for men of all ages.
Most men don't need the screen-
ing, a physical exam, unless they
are at high risk, because most
cancers found without screening
are curable.
Questions you should ask
Consumer Reports' recom-
mends that patients ask their
doctors a series of questions'
before undergoing any cancer
screening, such as the following:
If the test results are positive, will
it save my life? Am I at higher
risk for cancer than the average
person, and if so, why? How often
does it provide falsely reassuring
results? Are any other tests just
as good?

Work had started Thursday on "Connie" the fire truck's new pink paint job at Rahal-Miller Nissan in Marianna. The truck, named in honor of the late Connie
Haile, will be used by newly-formed Guardians of the Ribbon/Pink Heals Jackson County Chapter, to raise awareness of the group's cause, which is raising
money to help local cancer patients. Her new color will be revealed March 16, during the city's St. Patrick's Day celebration.

leaving patients and their families able to fo-
cus on health.
And that's where, as a beacon for the cause,
"Connie" the fire truck comes in.
The vehicle now sits at Rahal-Miller Nis-
san, awaiting a shiny new coat of pink paint.
The business has donated supplies and labor
to help give a new look to the truck named
in honor of the late Connie Haile, who suc-
cumbed to cancer last year.


Known to many in Marianna, the former
Waco Drugs employee was also a Pink Heals
advocate, which how "Connie" the fire truck
got her name.
The newly adorned truck will be revealed on
March 16, during Marianna's St. Patrick's Day
festivities at Madison Street Park.
The day's events will include a 2 p.m. Sham-
rock Shuffle 5K Run/Walk, a fundraiser spon-
sored by Guardians of the Ribbon Jackson
County Chapter, Signature Healthcare at the
Courtyard and Main Street Marianna.
After the race, "Connie" will make her
debut.
SEntry fee for the Shamrock Shuffle is $15
before March 1 and $20 after. The first 100


participants will be guaranteed a Shamrock
Shuffle T-shirt.
The board of directors of the local Pink Heals
chapter includes President Philip Meadows,
Vice President Joshua Williams; Treasurer
Lori Meadows and board members Nakeya
"Nicky" Lovett, Ricky Winget, Darren Tucker
and Whitney Thomas.

of the Ribbon/Pink Heals Jackson County
Chapter, including how to apply for assistance
or how help the group through sponsorship
or other ways, call 850-573-0229.
Oh, and what's Meadows' favorite thing
about the group, aside from the snazzy ride?
"All the money we raise stays local."

Mayor's push for bilingual city is rebuffed


The Associated Press

DORAL In many parts
of Miami, Spanish is used
as frequently or more
often than English.
That's certainly case in
the neighboring suburb
of Doral, where an influx
of immigrants from Latin
America have transformed
an idle community near
the city's airport into
flourishing neighborhood
with cafeterias and busi-
nesses echoing the tastes
and sounds of home.
Enter anyrestauranthere
and customers are usually
greeted first in Spanish.
Some complain it can be
hard to find anyone who
speaks perfect English.
But when Doral's mayor
tried to make Spanish the
official second language
on Wednesday, he was re-
buffed by every council
member and numerous
constituents. And it wasn't
from the small group of
non-Hispanic residents
who live here. It was
largely from immigrants
themselves.
"Our parents and some
of us that are up here came
from Latin America and
other countries knowing
that the United States has
English as the language,"
Councilwoman Ana Maria
Rodriguez said. "We came
here knowing we had to
adapt to the language of
this country."
Nationwide, the Latino
population has ballooned
and the number of Span-
ish-language services has
grown as a result. An esti-
mated 34.5 million people
in the United States speak
Spanish at home about
10 percent of the popula-
tion and everyone from
small businesses and re-
tail chains to politicians
have taken note. When
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio
delivered the Republican
response to the presi-
dent's State of the Union
address on Tuesday, he
gave speeches in both
languages.
But few cities have re-
sponded by declaring


themselves officially bilin-
gual. Far more states, and
politicians, have adopted
English-only policies.
That has been reaffirmed
in the recent immigration
reform debate, with both
Democrats and Repub-.
licans supporting Eng-
lish as a requirement for
citizenship.
"Real reform means es-
tablishing a responsible
pathway to earned citizen-
ship, a path that includes
passing a background
check, paying taxes and
a meaningful penalty,
learning English, and go-
ing to the back of the line
behind the folks trying to
come here legally," Presi-
dent Barack Obama said
Tuesday.
The United States has
never declared English
as its official language,
though more than two
dozen states have taken
that step. Only one state
- Hawaii has adopted
a second official language,
naturally Hawaiian. Along
the U.S.-Mexico border,
there is sporadic use of
Spanish and English for
public affairs, but no state
is considered officially bi-
lingual. One Texas city, El
Cenizo, adopted Spanish
as its official language in
2006.
"With growing ethnic
and racial diversity, we
see more cases of people
making suggestions about
what should be the lan-
guage of their local gov-
ernment," said Nestor
Rodriguez, a sociology
professor at the University
of Texas at Austin. "These
issues are always emo-'
tional and very symbolic.
It's about who we are as
people and who we are as
a country."
Florida itself is an inter-
esting case study: Miami-
Dade County declared
itself bilingual 40 years
ago after a wave of Cu-
ban exiles fled island and
settled in South Florida.
That ordinance was later
overturned, but the rejec-
tion was thrown out in
1993. The state voted to


make English the official
language in 1988.
In Doral, nearly 80 per-
cent of the population
is Hispanic and almost
90 percent speak a lan-
guage other than English
at home. The city is af-
fectionately known as
"Doralzuela" because of
its large number of Ven-
ezuelan residents.
Doral Mayor Luigi Boria,
elected earlier this year, is
a Venezuelan immigrant
whose first language was
Italian. He is an elegant,
graying man who owns
a successful computer
technology business and
speaks a halting English.
He says he is still learning
the language.
"Bueno, I think we have
more than 80 percent of
the population that al-
ready speak English and
Spanish," he said in a tele-
phone interview before
Wednesday's vote. "I think
what I'm doing is formal-
izing or regulating some-
thing that is already taking
place."
He shared his own im-
migration story in intro-
ducing the resolution.
"It reminds me 23 years
ago when I came to this
country and I barely speak
English and I made myway
up," he told the audience
of about 50 residents.
The resolution was
largely symbolic; English
would have remained the
main language. But Bo-
ria argued that adopting
Spanish as an official sec-
ond language would help
attract more business
from Latin America and in
turn create jobs. He noted
Spanish has been used in
Florida since St. Augustine
was founded in 1565 40
years before Jamestown,
Va., the first permanent
English settlement in the
Americas.
"In Spanish, 'San Agus-
tin,'" he said, pronounc-
ing the city's name in
Spanish.
The four city council-
members, all Hispanic
women whose families
are from Mexico or Cuba,


said they appreciated the
spirit of the resolution but
did not see its use. They
highlighted the sizable
number of Asian and Por-
tuguese-speaking Brazil-
ian immigrants in Doral
as well.
Members of the audi-
ence who showed up dur-
ing public comments were
equally divided between
support and opposition.
"I learned the language,
English," said Jaime Topp,
a Cuban immigrant said.
"That is the language of
the United States."
He added that his wife,
who doesn't speak Span-
ish, sometimes has trou-
ble in Doral.
"There's times where she
can't communicate," he
said. "It's not right."
Ana Paola Cano, 30, who
recently emigrated from
Colombia, said she liked
the resolution. She speaks
English but felt more com-
fortable talking in Span-
ish, so the city clerk pro-
vided a translation as
she did at several points in
the meeting, highlighting
the need for dual language
services.
"It doesn't mean I don't
believe we all need to
learn English," she said.
"It's a nice welcome to
those of us who are re-
cently arrived."
The measure was tabled
but may be modified and
brought before the council
again at its next meeting.
On Thursday, Boria
vowed to continue work-
ing on the measure.
"I still believe it's good
for the city," he said. "It
will bring more business
and investment and'that
will create more jobs in
the city. At the end of the
day English will always be
the first official language."

cure for


is you.

Tough loss


Lady Indians

fall in OT, 74-73


BY DUSTIN KENT

Jatoria Carter made a free
throw with two seconds left
in overtime after a contro-
versial foul call to lift the No.
8 Northwest Florida State
Lady Raiders to a 74-73 vic-
tory over the No. 6 Chipola
Lady Indians on Wednesday
night in Niceville.
With the win, the Lady
Raiders (22-3 overall, 7-3 in
the Panhandle Conference)
forced a three-way tie atop
the league standings with
Chipola (22-4, 7-3) and Gulf
Coast State.
Northwest overcame a 12-
-point deficit with 10 minutes
to go in regulation to force
overtime, and then ben-
efited from a strange call in
the final seconds that nearly
caused the Chipola bench to
come unglued.
Trailing 73-71 with 11 sec-
onds on the clock, the Lady
Indians got a tying basket
from Jasmine Crawford,
who drove down the right
side of the lane and finished
to even the game up with
three seconds to play.
Crawford then picked up
the LadyRaiders' point guard
Carter trying to get open
on the ensuing inbounds
play and was whistled for
'a foul for holding with two
seconds to play, though on
replay there appeared to be
minimal contact.
Carter stepped to the line
for two shots, made the first,
and then missed the second,
with Tarvarsha Scott grab-
bing the offensive rebound
and running the clock out.
After the game, Chipola
coach Greg Franklin said.he

undefeated

BY DUSTIN KENT

The Marianna Lady Bulldogs soft-
ball team will look to go to 2-0 today
when its hosts the Port St. Joe Lady
Sharks at 6 p.m.
Marianna opened its season a week
ago with an 8-2 home victory over
Godby, but had a scheduled game
against Arnold on Tuesday rained
out, the second game that has been
moved due to weather this season.
' Lady Bulldogs coach Scott Wiggins
said it has been frustrating not being
able to play more than once so far
this year.
"It should really be our fourth
game, but the weather hasn't coop-
erated," he said. "The kids and I are
just excited about playing. We've
been practicing now for about five
weeks, so we're ready to start playing
some ballgames."
In Marianna's lone game thus far,
Wakulla transfer Taylor Hussey start-
ed in the circle and went the distance
to get the victory in her first outing as
a Lady Bulldog.
"Taylor pitched very well," Wig-
gins said. "She did a great job as far
as throwing strikes and not walking
people, the defense played well, and
we hit the ball pretty well. It was just
a very good team win."
Another MHS pitcher will make
another big debut today when fresh-
man Kayleigh Temples makes her
first start as a varsity player against
Port St. Joe.
S"I think she's real excited about it
and we're real excited for her to have
the opportunity to start her first var-
sity game," Wiggins said. "But we're
expecting big things out of all of our
pitchers this year. I feel like we could
start anyone of the three in any game
and do well."

The Chipola Lady Indians
will look to continue their
hot streak this weekend when
they travel to Aiken, S.C. for a
busy weekend that includes
seven games in three days.
Chipola (9-2) will take on
Aiken Tech today at noon be-
fore finishing the day against
USC-Lancaster at 4 p.m., and
then play three games Satur-
day against Pitt Community
College at 10 a.m., Florence
Darlington at noon, and
Georgia Military at 4 p.m.
The Lady Indians will come
back to their home state Sun-
day to take on Santa Fe Com-


munity College for a double-
header at noon and 2 p.m. in
Gainesville.
Chipola is currently riding
a seven-game winning streak
after a 2-2 start to the season,
winning those games by a to-
tal tally of 44-10.
It has been mostly pitch-
ing thus far that has paved
the way for the Lady Indians'
success, as they are posting
a team Earned Run Average
of 2.18 and limiting'oppos-
ing hitters to a .245 batting
average.
Sophomore All-American
Eva Voortman is leading the
Chipola staff with a 0.55 ERA
in four appearances, winning
both of her decisions to go


with a save and 12 strikeouts
to one walk.
Rosanne de Vries leads the
team with four wins in five
starts, posting a 2.33 ERA with
15 strikeouts and 10 walks,
while redshirt freshman Ka-

No decision yet on NHL players in Olympics


The Associated Press

NEWYORK A decision
on whether NHL players
will head to the 2014 Sochi
Olympics isn't likely this
week.
Discussions were set for
Thursday and Friday be-
tween the NHL, the NHL
players' association, and
officials from the Interna-
tional Ice Hockey Federa-
tion and the International
Olympic Committee to see
if it makes sense for North
American professional
hockey players to go to the
Olympics for a fifth straight
time.
"I don't expect any reso-
lution or decisions this
week," NHL Deputy Com-
missioner Bill Daly told
The Associated Press in an
email on Thursday.
The Sochi Games are one

year away. While a final
decision isn't required this
week, one will have to be
reached in the near future.
It is believed hockey fed-


erations will need to know
by May what players will be
available for their teams.
The current discussions
are being held between


NHL Commissioner Gary
Bettman, NHLPA executive
director Donald Fehr, IIHL
President Rene Fasel and
officials from the IOC.


After enduring a long
lockout that produced a
shortened regular season
this year, the NHL is weigh-
ing whether it is worth
shutting down the game
for more than two weeks
next season to allow its
players to go to Russia for
the Olympics.
The time difference
will force the games to be
played at off hours in North
America, and the NHL
would like to receive con-
cessions from the IOC that
haven't been made before.
In return for sending its
players to the Sochi Olym-
pics, the NHL is trying to
acquire video, photograph
and Web site rights for the
games. The IIHF and the
IOC retain those exclusive
rights now.
The NHL began send-
ing its players to the 1998


Games in Nagano, Japan,
and continued through the
2010 Vancouver Games.
Even though the NHL got
great exposure by having
its players take part in an
Olympics in North Amer-
ica, disrupting the season
does come with a cost.
The stopping of the sea-
son, the potential injury
risk to players, and no tan-
gible upside for the NHL are
all factors that create doubt
whether the investment is
good for the league. .
One topic that isn't on
the agenda during this
week's meetings is NHL
realignment.
The relocation of the At-
lanta Thrashers to Winni-
peg before last season has
created travel troubles for
the Jets and their Southeast
Division rivals that need to
be resolved.

of opportunity to show
what they can do.
"We'll just play it by ear,
but we're going to pitch all
of them here to start," he
said. "I don't want to over-
do it in the beginning, but

anna, as the Lady Sharks
are coming off of an excel-
lent 2012 season in which
they finished 24-61 and
advancing to the 1A state

"They're going to be
a pretty good ball team
again," Wiggins said of the
Lady Sharks. "They lost
a few senior leaders, but
they've got their pitcher
back this year and they'll
have a good team."


MLB


Hunter upbeat while joining Tigers


The Associated Press

LAKELAND, Fla. To-
rii Hunter's plan this sea-
son seems pretty obvious:
Detroit's new right fielder
is going to try to smile his
way to the World Series.
"You don't want to look
back on your career and
say, 'I didn't have enough
fun,'" Hunter said Thurs-
day at the Tigers' spring
training complex.
The 37-year-old Hunt-
er is already living up to
his reputation as one of
the game's most engag-
ing people. Detroit starts
full-squad workouts Fri-
day, but Hunter was in the


clubhouse a day earlier,
laughing it up with ace Jus-
tin Verlander as if the two
had grown up together.
Nearby, designated hitter
Victor Martinez was talk-
ing to reporters but the
hooting and hollering in
the background was hard
to ignore.
"When I first came up
with the Indians, I used
to play against (Hunter)
in Minnesota," Martinez
said. "He told me one
thing when I was a rookie,
and I have never forgot:
'Don't ever lose your smile.
No matter what happens,
just keep smiling and keep
enjoying the game.'"


Hunter played 10 sea-
sons with the Twins and
five with the Los Angeles
Angels, but he's never been
to theWorld Series. Detroit
needed a right fielder, and
he signed a two-year deal
with the Tigers in Novem-
ber pretty early in the
free agent period.
Detroit has won two AL
Central titles in a row and
went to the World Series
last year, where the Tigers
lost to the San Francisco
Giants. Now Hunter joins
a clubhouse full of confi-
dent stars,, led by a man-
ager who knows how to
avoid drama even where
the scrutiny intensifies.

overcome a sub-part offen-
sive night for All-American
point guard Chris Jones.
The sophomore Jones
came in averaging 23
points per game for the
season but was held to 12
points on 5-of-15 shooting
and turned the ball over six
times Wednesday.
It was a struggle on of-
fense most of the game
for the Raiders, who were
missing second-leading
scorer Elgin Cook, who was
out due to injury, shooting
just 42 percent from the
field for the game and 6-
of-20 from the three-point
line.
Fortunately for the Raid-
ers, their defense was
much better than their
offense, as they limited
an Indians team that was
also missing a key player
in point guard Terel Hall
due to injury to 37 percent

it off and make it a 45-36
Chipola lead with 12:05 on
the clock.
A three by Crawford
made it 50-38 Lady Indi-
ans with 10:05 to play, but
Northwest stormed back
with a 10-2 run to cut the
margin to four with 5:39
remaining.
An offensive rebound
and put-back by Batchelor
cut the Chipola lead to 61-
60 with 1:36 to play, with
Lashonda Littleton answer-
ing with two free throws
for the Lady Indians, and
Carter driving to the hoop
on Northwest's next pos-
session to make it 63-62.
The Lady Raiders got it
back with a chance to take
the lead, and Kiani Parker
drew a foul with 10 seconds
to play, but made only 1-of-
2 to tie the game.
Scott scored the first
points of regulation and
Carter followed with a
three-pointer to make it
68-64 Northwest.
A straightaway bank shot
Jon a drive by Carter gave


from the field and 4-of-23
from the three-point line.
Chipola also missed 12
free throws and had 20
turnovers in a game that
Indians coach Patrick
Blake said represented a
missed opportunity for his
team.
"I thought we did a great
job defensively to hold
them to 64 points on their
home floor, but if you hold
a team to 64 points you've
got to find a way to score
at least 65 offensively," he
said. "I told the guys that
this was a great opportu-
nity that we had that we
didn't take advantage of.
But there will be more op-
portunities the rest of the
way, so we've got to move
on from this and make
sure when the next oppor-
tunity arises that we take
full advantage of it."
Wednesday's game was
perhaps, the most compet-
itive of the three matchups
this season from start to
finish, with the first game


the Lady Raiders a five-
point lead with 1:04 left
in the overtime, but four
straight missed free throws
for Northwest and a clutch
three-pointer by Brance
kept it a 72-70 game with
just under 20 seconds on
the clock.
A free throw by Crawford
cut it to two with 11 seconds
to go, and the Lady Raid-
ers turned the ball over on
the ensuing inbounds play
to give it back to Chipola
to set up Crawford's tying
drive.
Despite the disputed foul
call at the end of overtime,
Franklin said that his team
had opportunities well be-
fore then to put the game
away and couldn't do it.
"We had some situations
where we missed a couple
of box outs and missed
some things in transition
that hurt us. If you're go-
ing to finish games on the
road, you can't miss box
outs and turn the ball over
as many times as we did,"
he said. "But I thought our
kids played extremely hard.
I was very proud of the kids
that they kept fighting'and
kept pushing regardless of
the situation."


a 15-point victory for the
Raiders and the second
decided by a big late rally
by Chipola.
In the third matchup,
neither team was able to
get much separation the
whole night, with the big-
gest lead being six points
for each side.
The Indians led 57-51 af-
ter back to back dunks by
Earl Watson with 7:07 to
play, but Chipola was un-
able to convert a field goal
the rest of the game and
made just 5-of-ll from
the free throw line over the
same span.
Northwest Florida State
took advantage of the stag-
nant Chipola offense with a
12-1 run over the next 4:14
ofthe game, with Shykeem
Jackson and Jones knock-
ing in back to back threes
to put the Raiders up 62-58
with 3:27 to play.
A pair of free throws by
Kruize Pinkins got Chipola
back to within two at 64-
62 with 52 seconds to play,


With a win, the Lady In-
dians could've put them-
selves in the driver's seat
to win the conference title
and take the top seed from
the Panhandle into the
state tournament.
However, the loss means
-that the only way Chipola
can get the top seed now
is to win out and have


and the Indians got the
ball back after a defensive
stop with 21 seconds on
the clock.
But instead of going for
the tie, Chipola tried to
force up a three on the
ensuing possession, with
Demetrious Floyd missing
a tough contested three.
However, the Indians
corralled the rebound and
got timeout with two sec-
onds left to set up another
final play.
The call out of the time-
out seemed to work to per-
fection, with Pinkins catch-
ing the ball just outside the
paint and appearing to
have a clear path for a ty-
ing layup, but Jones made
a game-saving defensive
play by stripping Pinkins
of the ball from behind as
time expired.
Beyond the last sequence
of plays, Blake said he was
disappointed that'his team
let it come down to that fi-
nal moment.
"We put ourselves in


Northwest Florida State

Tallahassee or last-second

of which still hasn't won a

day). I'm still proud of

Danica talks dating driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr.


The Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
Danica Patrick slid
into her chair at NASCAR
media day Thursday and
promptly informed her
audience it would be race
questions only.
Yeah, right. The ensuing
20-plus minutes consisted
mostly of questions about
her relationship with fel-
low driver Ricky Stenhouse
Jr., and Patrick dutifully
answered them all. She
and Stenhouse better get
used to this, at least in the
early going.
Patrick and Stenhouse
confirmed in January they
are dating, and the duo will
be competing against each
their r this year for Sprint
Cup rookie of the year.
"Initially, it was a little bit
of a mental hurdle of like,
'We compete against each
other,' Patrick said of the
relationship, which she lik-
ened to Romeo and Juliet.
"It's like the Capulets and
Montagues with (me in)
Chevy and (him in) Ford,
this just doesn't work. But
you can't tell your heart
who to like or not like. And
so in the end, it ended up
being something that I just
didn't think was a big deal
at all."
The two spent the last
two seasons racing in the
Nationwide Series and Pat-
rick leaned on Stenhouse,
the two-time Nationwide
champion, for friendship
and advice after her move
to NASCAR. She said the
relationship grew deeper,
and they went public after
she filed for divorce in early
January from her husband,
Paul Hospenthal. She and
Hospenthal announced in
November they were split-
ting up after seven years of
marriage.
.The 30-year-old Patrick
rarely talked about her
personal life while married
to Hospenthal, but she was
open Thursday about the
r25-year-old Stenhouse.
"I'm just relaxed," Patrick
said. "I feel happy. I feel
like I am enjoying my life.
It makes me smile to talk
about him. I feel like I'm on
'The Bachelorette.'"
Stenhouse was equally
as open, saying "she's hot!"
when asked what attracted
him to Patrick before add-
ing "she loves to cook, and
I love to eat." He admitted
he'd never heard of the
Capulets and Montagues,
and refused to say who he
would push on the last lap
of a race at Daytona if Pat-
rickwas battling for the win
with one of his Roush Fen-
way Racing teammates.
"I'm going three-wide,"
he smiled. "There's enough
room at Daytona."
Although the two did not
publicly interact Thursday,
they are clearly content
with their relationship. And
because Patrick, who leads
all celebrities with 12 Super
Bowl ads, is used to being
under the media spotlight
Stenhouse said he can lean
Son his girlfriend for guid-
ance as he finds himself
suddenly scrutinized.
"I'm fine. The headlines
don't say anything about
me," he said. "I'm taking
,this seriously. But if I win a
brace, it might be 'Danica's
boyfriend won a race.'"
-.. -The relationship is fod-
der for endless jokes and
razzing from fellow com-
petitors, and most were
eager to dive into the topic
Thursday.
"Pat on the back for him,"
said Ty Dillon.
"We can come. up with
plenty of jokes and how
humorous it could be on
the track and what each of
them are thinking we'll
all be watching with great
curiosity, for sure," said
Jimmie Johnson.


But if the two have an in-
cident on the track? "That
would be one heck of a
show," Johnson said. "I'm
sure ratings would go up
quite a bit. You never know.
Danica has shown she can
get quite upset at times, so
there could be something
going on."


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Danica Patrick (left) talks with Ricky Stenhouse Jr., as they wait on pit road during qualifying for a Nationwide series race on Nov. 3 atTexas Motor Speedway
in Fort Worth, Texas.


Patrick was ready for all
the ribbing, and even joked
about what would happen
if Stenhouse wrecked her
on the track.
"He better have a really
good, 'I'm sorry,'" Patrick
said with a wink.
The duo is moiing for-
ward with their relation-
ship, with Patrick saying
she planned to cook for
Stenhouse on Valentine's
Day and she packed an
entire suitcase full of gifts
for her boyfriend (he got
her "fancy playing cards",
he said). She also told re-


porters how after so many
months of hanging out
with Stenhouse, she had
to push him to ask her out
on an official date an
account Stenhouse con-
firmed' before sheepishly
admitting he couldn't re-
member what restaurant
they went to for the date.
Defending Sprint Cup
champion Brad Keselows-
ki cautioned that things
could get sticky with the
happy couple.
"It's difficult because
there's that part of you that
thinks, Ah, this is a little


hokie. Can we just focus
on the on-track part?'"
he said. "But you have to
understand that as a race
car driver, you make life
decisions that put you in
a position of danger all the
time, 24-7, and that inher-
ently makes you a unique
person and the decisions
you make in your men-
tal process to get there
unique. And whatever out-
side influences you have
are going to affect how you
perform.
"So it makes it a story
because there's no way for


it not to affect their per-
formance. It ties back in. I
think it's not really much
of a story that their dating
as it is as much of a story if
they were to break up. That
would be incredible to
watch, to be quite honest
with you. There's so many
different ways that could
go. I mean, imagine if they
were to break up and then
wreck each other for like.
the next six races because
they were mad?"
Stenhouse dismissed
Keselowski's take, "coming
from a guy who has never


had a girlfriend?"
Johnson had a recom-
mendation: Patrick and
Stenhouse need to keep
their relationship from
spilling onto the track.
"If it does, it's going to
impact their lifestyle and
their job," Johnson said.
"We're paid to go on the
racetrack and race. So if
they're ,handling things
differently on the track
because of their personal
relationship, it's going to
affect their jobs; their own-
ers aren't going to be happy
or their sponsors."

TODAY'S CLUE: 0 slenbe U
2013 by NEA, Inc., dist, by Universal Uclick 2-15


Dear Annie: My wife and I are having
marital problems. Our issues started
when I caught her lying to me and talking
privately on the phone to my best friend
of 12 years the same guy who was the
best man at my wedding. After arguing
for a few days, I asked her to make a sin-
cere effort to go for counseling, and she
agreed. I also asked her to stop speaking
to my friend during the time we are try-
ing to repair our marriage. She agreed to
that, too.
However, this guy messages her' on
Facebook, and she still reads his com-
ments. We went to our first counsel-
ing session, and I felt it went well. But
when we got home, I realized that she
was having doubts. She finally said
she had not been in love with me for five
years.


Ann Landers offered the advice that if you want
to catch a trout, don't fish in a herring barrel.
The segue from that to this deal is thin. But
South is in four hearts. West leads the club queen.
How should declarer plan the play? What were
West's more effective opening leads?
North's rebid was a double negative, showing a
very weak hand, choosing either two no-trump or
three clubs, according to partnership preference.
Here, South would have done better to sign off in
three no-trump.
South starts with four potential losers: two
spades and two diamonds. He has only nine win-
ners: sixhearts, one diamond and two clubs.
Probably there is an instinct to play a heart to
dummy's nine, followed by a diamond to the
queen. However, when the finesse loses, if West
now returns his remaining trump (or shifts to
spades and East leads a trump in time), South's
contract is, as the British phrase it, kippered (from
the noun "kipper," a smoked herring).
The diamond queen is a red-card herring. After
South takes the first trick, he should cash his dia-
mond ace and play another diamond. The defend-
ers can win, cash two spades and shift to a trump,
but declarer takes that in his hand, ruffs the dia-
mond queen with dummy's heart nine (getting a
seventh trump trick), crosses back to hand with a
spade ruff or a club, draws trumps and claims.
The contract can be defeated if West leads a
trump, or if he starts with a spade and East switch-
es to a trump at trick two or three. Then, when
South concedes a diamond, the defense plays a
second trump to deny dummy a ruff.


Horoscope
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) Heed your hunches
if you come up with some
bright idea regarding
a way to multiply your
resources.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) Because you'll view
certain situations realis-
tically and not through
rose-colored glasses, you'll
accomplish much.
ARIES (March 21:April
19) -When going up
against another, be it in
business or sport, you'll
have a bit more to draw
upon than will your
opponent.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -Viewing things in
positive terms will give
you the advantage over
most opponents.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
- If the stakes captivate
your interest, you will '
show an impressive moti-
vation to succeed.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-You're not likely to be
afraid of making snap de-
cisions, due to your strong
faith in your judgment..
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-You have a great apti-
tude for sorting out the
problems of others and
helping them repair their
affairs;
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) Get involved in
activities today that help
stimulate you mentally as
well as physically.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
- If you believe condi-
tions involving your work
can be improved, take it
upon yourself to make the
necessary moves.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) Temporarily set
aside your material wants
and needs, and instead
focus on your social life.
Surprisingly, this might be
where your greatest op-
portunities reside.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) Don't allow
any situation to hang fire
if it has an effect on your
finances. Matters can be
concluded to your satis-
faction by putting forth
the necessary effort.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) Since your greatest
attributes are likely to be
your leadership qualities,
it's highly likely that you'll
instinctively know how to
get what you want. Do so.


Annie, we have a beautiful 16-month-
old baby girl. I want to repair our mar-
riage for our child's sake, as well as for us.
What should I do? Can marriage counsel-
ing help if there's no love?
DYING IN NEWYORK

Dear NewYork: Marriage counseling can
help if there once was love that can be re-
captured, or if both parties are dedicated
to making the marriage work. A compat-
ible marriage doesn't necessarily require
passion for each other, only a commit-
ment to the stability of the relationship.
But you cannot do it alone. Please con-
tinue with counseling. If your wife wants
to work on the marriage, she will come
along and make the necessary effort. But
if she is unwilling, the counselor will help
you forge your own path.

Olympian Oscar Pistorius charged with murder


The Associated Press

PRETORIA, South Africa
- Paralympic superstar
Oscar Pistorius was charged
Thursday with the murder
of his girlfriend who was
shot inside his home in
South Africa, a stunning
development in the life of a
national hero known as the
Blade Runner for his high-
tech artificial legs.
Reeva Steenkamp, a
model who spoke out on
Twitter against rape and
abuse of women, was shot
four times in the predawn
hours in the house, in a
gated community in the
capital, Pretoria, police
said.
I-ours later after under-
going police questioning,
Pistorius left a police sta-
tilun accompanied by of-
ficers. He looked down as
photographers snapped
pictures, the hood on his
gl a w orkout jacket pulled
up,. co\eriing most of his
face. His court hearing was
originally scheduled for
Thursday afternoon but
has been postponed until
Friday to give forensic in-
vestigators time to carry
out their work, said Me-
dupe Simasiku, a spokes-
man for the prosecution.
South Africans were
shocked at the killing. But
while Pistorius captured
the nation's attention with
his Olympic quest, police
said there was a recent his-
tory of problems involving
him. Police spokeswoman
Brigadier Denise Beukes
said the incidents included
"allegations of a domestic
nature."
"I'm not going to elabo-
rate on it but there have
beenincidents (at Pistorius'
home)," Beukes said. Po-
licein South Africa do not
name suspects in crimes
until they have appeared in-
court but Beukes said that
the 26-year-old Pistorius
was at his home at the time
of the death of Steenkamp
and "there is no other sus-
pect involved."
Pistorius' father, Hen-
ke, declined to comment
when contacted by The As-

London. BELOW: Pistorius leaves the Boschkop police station, east of Pretoria, South Africa en route to appear in court charged

sociated Press, only saying
"we all pray'for guidance
and strength for Oscar and
the lady's parents."
Neither Pistorius' agent
Peet van Zyl nor coach
Ampie Louw could be
reached while Pistori-
us' own cellphone went
straight to voicemail.
Pistorius' former coach,
Andrea Giannini, said he
hopes it was "just a tragic
accident." Giannini said he
believed that Pistorius had
been dating Steenkamp for
"a few months."
"No matter how bad the
situation was, Oscar al-
ways stayed calm and posi-
tive," Giannini told the AP
in Italy. "Whenever he was
tired or nervous he was still
extremely nice to people. I
never saw him violent."
Yet Pistorius had troubles
in his personal life. In Feb-
ruary 2009, he crashed a
speed boat he was piloting
on South Africa's Vaal Riv-
er. Witnesses said he had
been drinking before the
crash and officers found
alcoholic beverages in the
wreckage, though they ac-
knowledged at the time


they hadn't conducted a
blood test on the athlete.
Pistorius broke his nose,
jaw and several ribs in the
crash, as well as damaged
his eye socket and required
some 180 stitches to his
face.
In November, Pistorius
also found himself in an
altercation with a local coal
mining millionaire over
a woman, South African
media reported. Eventu-
ally, the two men involved
the South African Police


Service's elite Hawks inves-
tigative unit before settling
the matter.
Pistorius owned firearms
and posted a photograph
of himself at a shooting
range in November 2011
to the social media website
Twitter, bragging about his
score.
"Had a 96% headshot
over 300m from 50shots!
Bam!" he tweeted.
Police said that earlier re-
ports that Steenkamp may
have been mistaken for


a burglar by Pistorius did
not come from the police.
Several local media outlets
initially reported that the
shooting may have been
accidental.
Capacity Relations, a tal-
ent management firm, ear-
lier named model Steen-
kamp as the victim of the
shooting. Police spokes-
woman Lt. Col. Katlego
Mogale told the AP that of-
ficers received a call around
3 a.m. after the shooting.
A 9 mm pistol was recov-


ered and -a murder case
opened against Pistorius.
Pistorius enjoyed target
shooting with his pistol
and an online advertise-
ment featuring him for
Nike read: "I am a bullet in
the chamber." An article in
January 2012 in The.New
York Times Magazine de-
scribed him talking about
how he pulled a pistol to
search his home when his
alarm went off the night
before an interview. At Pis-
torius' suggestion, he and
the journalist went to a
nearby target range where
they fired at targets with a
9 mm pistol. At one point,
Pistorius told the writer: "If
you practiced, I think you
could be pretty deadly."
Asked how often he went
target shooting, Pistorius
replied: "Just sometimes
when I can't sleep."
Police have still not re-
leased the name of the
woman, but the publicist
.for Steenkamp confirmed
in a statement that the
model was dead.
"We can confirm that Re-
eva Steenkamp has passed
away," Steenkamp's publi-
cist Sarit Tomlinson said.
"Our thoughts and prayers
go to the Steenkamp fam-
ily, who have asked to have
'their privacy respected
during this difficult time,
everyone is simply devas-
tated. She was the kindest,
sweetest human being; an
angel on earth and will be
sorely missed."
Tomlinson said Steen-
kamp, known simply as
Reeva, was one of FHM's
(formerly For Him Maga-
zine) 100 Sexiest Women
in the World for two years
running, appeared in
countless international
and national advertise-
ments and was one of the
celebrity contestants on
the reality show "Tropika
Island of Treasure," filmed
in Jamaica.
She and Pistorius were
first seen publicly together
in November at an awards
ceremonyinJohannesburg.
Later, she began mention-
ing the athlete in public
messages on Twitter.

The Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG The
leggy blonde model tweet-
ed. that Valentine's Day
should be "a day of love for
everyone."
Instead Reeva Steenkamp
Was shot dead in the home
of her boyfriend, paralym-
pian superstar Oscar Pisto-
rius, who was charged with
her murder.
Steenkamp, South Afri-
can model with a law de-
gree, campaigned against
rape and violence against
women. Thursday morn-
ing, Reeva Steenkamp was
to give an inspirational talk
at a Johannesburg school.
The next day she was going
to wear black to protest the
brutal rape and mutilation
of a 17-year-old.


But the glamorous South
African celebrity was found
dead in the early hours
from four bullet wounds in
the Pretoria home of Pisto-
rius. The two had been dat-
ing for only a few months.
She was one of FHM
magazine's 100 Sexiest
Women in the World for the
past two years, appeared in
international and South Af-
rican advertisements and
was to make her debut next
week as a celebrity contes-
tant on the reality TV show
"Tropika Island of Treasure"
filmed in Jamaica. She was


also the South African face
of Avon cosmetics. Police
said the model was 30.
The freckled blonde who
appeared in scanty bikinis
on magazine covers and'
sashayed down fashion
ramps was "continuously
breaking the model ste-
reotype," said her publicist
Sarit Tomlinson.
Steenkamp was "the
sweetest, kindest, just an-
gelic soul" and at the same
time "a very inspiring in-
dividual, very passionate
aboutspeakingaboutwom-
en and empowerment."
