A federal grand jury in Panama City indicted 56- year-old Edward Victor Wil- liams earlier this month on charges of manufacturing and possessing a controlled substance with intent to distribute, an alleged of- fense involving 50 or more marijuana plants, the indictment indicated. The grand juryalso indict- ed Williams on the alleged offense being in unlawful possession of a firearm. The dolls, the letter, some firearms and a stand of live marijuana plants were found on property associ- ated with Williams, authori- ties say. The dolls, plants, some firearms and an ille- gal tortoise trap were found on some hunting lands with which Williams is associated, that property located south of Christ- off Ferry Road off Bump Nose Road in Marianna. The letter was found at his residence in Jackson County. One firearm was recovered at the bottom of a See SEARCH, Page 5A SUBMITTED PHOTO Sneads teen Rebekah Anne Newsome is shown in this undated photo.'

Hunting for bargains, helping out center BY MARK SKINNER Bargain hunters were backing a good cause Saturday during a yard sale fundraiser for the Chipola Area Autism Resource Center, The group started its life in 2010 as a support group and expand- ed to become the Chipola Area Autism Resource Center last year. While it is still a autism support group, it now also provides re- sources such as help in locating medical care- and it hosted a two- day autism education program. Saturday's sale brought in $500. According Syntha Alvarez, the group's director of education, ser- vices, the money will go toward the resource center's effort to col- lect $5,000 in matching funds to go with a $5,000 grant proposal for Autism Speaks. The grant would be used for autism education for parents the community. The group has other short- and long-term plans, Alvarez said. These include gettingthe group's house on Davis Street up and run- ning so that it would be able to host activities for children with autism and provide a space for support meeting. A longer term goal is to bring more services such as speech and occupational therapy to the area. While some are available in the larger towns around Jackson County, such as Dothan, Panama City or Tallahassee, other more, specialized services may be three hours away, she said.

State Briefs 'Triumph Gulf Coast' bill upsets counties TALLAHASSEE A consortium of eight Gulf Coast counties is raising an alarm about a Florida Senate bill that creates a nonprofit board to man- age money from settle- ments from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The Gulf Consortium met Monday to discuss the bill (SB 1024). The bill-creates a nonprofit "Triumph Gulf Coast" board to safeguard any funds recovered by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The attorney general sued BP and Hal- liburton before the statute of limitations expired on the 2010 disaster's third anniversary. The counties are con- cerned over losing local control. But amendments filed this week would ensure the new board would not control Gulf recovery money coming from the federal RESTORE.Act. The bill was scheduled for the floor Monday but was postponed. Man charged with killing 4 puppies NEWPORT RICHEY - A Tampa Bay area man has been charged with beating four pit bull puppies to death with a shovel. The Pasco County Sheriff's Office reports that 21-year-old David Lee Thompson went to a New Port Richey mobile home Friday to help his friend move. The friend and his father began discussing what to do with the pup- pies since the son couldn't afford to keep them. An arrest report says the fa- ther suggested taking the puppies into the woods and killing them. The son told deputies he "didn't have the guts," so Thompson reportedly killed the puppies. The three men buried the ani- mals and scattered dead leaves on the site. ,The friend's stepmother learned about the pup- pies ahd contacted animal services. Thompson was charged Saturday with animal cruelty. He was being held on $5,000 bail. The other men weren't charged. Special-needs bill clears Senate TALLAHASSEE- The Florida Senate has passed a bill that would give parents a greater say in shaping the education plans for their special- needs children. The measuXe (SB 1108) cleared the Senate on a 39-0 vote Monday. Similar legislation is being con- sidered in the House with time winding down in the 60-day session, which ends Friday. The Senate-passed bill gives-parents a greater say in shaping the curriculum and individual education plan for their special- needs children. " Sen. Andy Gardiner, R-Orlando, says that increasing the options for the parents will give the students a better chance to succeed. Gardiner is the bill's lead sponsor along with Sen. John Thrasher, R-St. Augustine. The bill also ensures that students with disabilities have access to the profes- sionals and resources that will best serve them. Girl hospitalized after accidental shooting PACE- A little girl was hospitalized following an accidental shooting at a Florida Panhandle home.

The Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. -A Nashville family is suing a media company and two others in federal court in Tennessee after they say a Tampa radio show posted an altered photograph of their son with Down syn- drome on its website. In a lawsuit filed April 22, Pamela and Bernard Holland said that the use of their son's photo on WHPT's "The Cowhead Show" website was mali- cious and defamatory. The Hollands said in the lawsuit that the photo of their son was taken in 2004 when Adam Holland was 17 and in an art class. In the original photo, Adam is smiling at the camera and holding up a drawing that included the words "Go Titans," referencing Tennessee's professional football team. In July 2012, according to court documents, the Hollands were contacted by a friend who saw the photo on the radio station website. The photo had been altered to show the words "Retarded News" in place of his original draw- "This is a case where an innocent individual has been victimized. The Holland family and this young boy are the picture of innocence, and for him to be the victim of this type of maligning is a case that calls for toughening of the laws in this area." Larry Crain,, Holland family attorney ing and was on a portion of the website used for weird news stories. The Hollands say that the altered image has caused them "severe men- tal anguish and emotional distress," and "humilia- tion, fear and embarrass- ment." They are seeking compensatory and puni- tive damages. The station is owned by Cox Media Group. Spokes- man Andy McDill wrote in an email to The Associated Press on Monday that the company is looking into the matter. "It's our company policy, however, not to comment on ongoing litigation," McDill wrote. Adam Hollarnd's photo was not on the show's website on Monday. Larry Crain, the Holland family's Nashville attorney, said Monday that this case highlights the need for strengthening laws involv- ing altered and unauthor- ized photos. "Many of the laws protect celebrities and who, for name recognition purposes, have a special interest in protecting their name and privacy," he said. "This is a case where an innocent individual has been victimized. The Hol- land family and this young boy are the picture of innocence, and for him to be the victim of this type of maligning is a case that calls for toughening of the laws in this area." Crain said that this case has "touched a nerve" with a lot of people and his of- fice has received outraged calls from around the country. The altered image made its way to a Facebook group called "Spread the Word to End the Word," which raises awareness about the hurtful and derogatory connotation of the word "retarded." The lawsuit said that Michael Sharkey, the pro- gram director for WHPT, wrote the group regard- ing Adam's photo. The lawsuit quoted Sharkey's email, which said that the "Retarded News" segment is "is designed to highlight odd stories that are seem- ingly always in the news." "These stories are NOT about disabled individu- als," Sharkey wrote. "How- ever, in our investigation, we noted the picture that he was using did denote a person with Down syn- drome. We have removed that picture from our page and we are removing any reference to handicapped or disabled individuals." Sharkey apologized for "any grief this might have caused." The Hollands' lawsuit also names Dave Brown, the owner of an Oswego, N.Y.-based website called "Sign Generator," as a defendant.

She told us about her mother's longtime wish to have the holly, which the fam- ily planted in their yard decades before, decorated for Christmas, a tribute to the recently depart- ed patriarch James R. Hatcher; ' through efforts of area veterans' organizations, that wish had recently come true. It's the legacy of the tree that made last Tuesday's scene all the more shocking. "The tears in my momma's eyes that hurts me worse," Adams said. Once home, she got her moth- er settled inside the house, and went across the street to give the still-nearby work crew a piece of her mind. She told them the tree's story and collected a name and phone number for follow-up.

"When he Lpted to investigate er, Vic threatened to m and fled in reverse into the woods," the Ld officer reported t his conversation with the first officer that day. Other officers were called into assist at that point, the officer reported, and Williams eventually agreed to give himself up to two specific Jackson County law enforcement officers if his brother could be summoned to the scene. After those of- ficers and his brother ar- rived, officials say, Wil- liams, at first continued to ignore commands to put his hands up and lie on the ground. Eventually, however, he complied and was arrested. Tracking dogs were deployed to follow Wil- liams' trail back through the hunting lands in an attempt to find the rifles that had disappeared from the truck between the time he surrendered and the time the first of- ficer encountered him that day. Williams told officers that he'd put the muzzle-loading rifle un- der a deer feeder and that there was no need for the canines, but officers per- sisted with the search and used the dogs. They found one of the guns, a muzzle- loader, near a deer feeder. Another gun was found near another deer feeder, but not the second gun that the officer had seen in the truck. That gun was harder to find. Along the way in their search, officers also found an enclosure that had been built over a gopher tortoise hole, effectively trapping the tortoise inside. Just before 1 a.m. on the morning of Feb. 2, an of- ficer went to the home of Judge Bill Wright and ob- tained search warrants for the hunting property and Williams' vehicle. Later that morning, around 3:30 a.m., state officials went to the jail, where Williams had been taken, and issued him a notice to appear on a ci- tation for assaulting a law enforcement officer, tam- pering with or fabricating physical evidence and re- sisting an officer without violence. Meanwhile the property search continued. Around 7:45 a.m. that day, they discovered several sus- pected marijuana plants growing behind a pile of limbs near the deer feeder where the first gun had been found earlier.

Prominent lawyer to represent bombing suspect BOSTON Prominent death , penalty lawyer Judy Clarke is joining the team representing the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. The appointment of Clarke, based in San Diego, Calif., was approved Monday by U.S. Magis- trate Judge Marianne Bowler. Bowler denied a request from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's public defender to appoint a second death penalty lawyer. Bowler says Tsarnaev's lawyers could renew their motion to appoint another death penalty expert if to mow brush beneath power lines and within 20 feet of poles, as well as trim limbs, bushes or trees within the same 20-foot Tsarnaev is indicted. The 19-year-old Tsarnaev has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction during the April 15 marathon. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured when two bombs exploded near the finish line. Clarke's clients have included Unabomber Ted Kaczynski; Su- san Smith, who drowned her two children; and most recently Tuc- son, Ariz., shooter Jared Lough- ner. All received life sentences instead of the death penalty. Man accused of stabbing choir at church is charged ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The man accused of stabbing four churchgoers during Sunday Mass told police that he was after the choir leader because he thought of the gun they had been trying to find. The text of the hand- written letter later found inWilliams' residence is as follows: "Oh Devil, Oh De- mon, oh Lucifer, I humbly apologize for committing acts of kindness and com- passion to my fellow man. I apologize for not carry- ing out the oath of evil. I come now and request that you have your fire ants from hell release their toothy grips from me, that they return to the holes in hell and that they are able to relax, for they must be tired.

The signature on the let- ter appears to read "Viz "GD" Williams." Some of the mutilated dolls found on the hunt- ing property appear to bear evidence of having been subjected to fire. At least one had a nail or similar object piercing on eye and was tacked to a se- ries of boards. Some dolls had their hands bound, some were mutilated in a sexually suggestive way, authorities say, and it ap- peared that the arms of a Teddy bear were bound together with duct tape. Its body was pierce through by a primitive spear, and it was hanging from a tree with a red substance smeared in some areas of the bear's body. area of the lines. The Mill Avenue holly tree, the company said, had become a safety hazard for the Hatcher family and the workers. This type of trimming is done, WFEC said, because live trees in contact with power lines can pose a serious life threat and most out- ages are related to ROW issues and contact between trees and lines. Customers are notified of upcoming ROW work, the com- pany said, through the monthly WFEC newsletter. Ty Peel, vice president of Engi- neering and Operations atWFEC, offered an apology on behalf of the company. "Occasionally, these unfortu- nate situations are going to hap- pen and we are going to trim a tree that has ... a sentimental meaning to one of our members. We sincerely apologize to Mrs. Hatcher for the incident." For her part, Adams isn't upset with the crew. And she's hopeful about WFEC's assurances that they will try to reshape the tree. Eyeing the newly round holly bush from her back porch, Adams is optimistic. "I can see a pretty tree coming out of it." WFEC encourages members with ROW questions to call them before crews make it to their property.

According to a criminal complaint, Lawrence Capener, 24, said he was going after the choir leader at St. Jude Thad- deus Catholic Church because his "speech was.different" and he was "99 percent sure he was a Mason." He told the investigator that Masons are a group involved "in a conspiracy that is far more reaching than I could or would believe." Capener said he stabbed the others who tried to subdue him because he thought they might be Masons, too.

Woild Duets Mandela appears as an ailing man in video JOHANNESBURG - South African President Jacob Zuma said he found Nelson Mandela "in good shape and in good spirits" Monday, but a video of his encoun- ter with the S ailing anti- apartheid iconl belies Mandela those cheer words, showing him with a vacant look on his face. It's been more than three weeks since Mandela was released after a 10-day stay in the hospital, the third time in five months that he was hospitalized for a recurring lung infection. "We saw him, he's look- ing very good, he's in good shape," Zuma told the South African Broadcast- ing Corp. on the doorstep of Mandela's Johannesburq home. "We had some conversation with him, shook hands, he smiled, as you can see him, that he's really up and about and stabilized. We're really very happy. We think that he's fine." But the SABC video shows Mandela in an arm- chair, his head propped up by a pillow, his legs on a footrest and covered by a blanket, looking grey- skinned and unsmiling with his cheeks showing what appear to be marks from a recently removed oxygen mask. Zuma jokes and laughs with two officials of the governing African Nationa Congress, some Mandela fan-ily members and the former president's medical team while Mandela stares straight ahead, unrespon- sive. Zuma tries to hold Mandela's hand but, given his lack of response, ends up covering it with his own Police interrogate building owner SAVAR, Bangladesh A Bangladesh court on Mon day gave police 15 days tc interrogate the owner of a building that collapsed last week, killing at least 382 people, as rescuers used heavy machinery to cut tthe destroy structure after giving up hopes of finding any mor survivors., J Mohammed Sohel Rana, who was arrested D Sunday as he tried to flee to India, will be held for questioning on charges of negligence, illegal construction and forcing workers to join work.

Syrian prime minister escapes bombing DAMASCUS, Syria- Syria's prime minister narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in the heart of the heavily defended capital Monday, state media said, laying, bare the vulnerability of President Bashar Assad's 1 regime. The bombing; which killed several other people, d highlights an accelerat- s ing campaign targeting government officials, from mid-level civil servants to the highest echelons of the Syrian regime. 1. State television said Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi was not hurt in the bombing, which struck his convoy as it drove through the posh i- Mazzeh neighborhood home to embassies, government officials and business elites with close ties to the regime. Foot- age of the scene broadcast on state TV showed the I charred hulks of cars and the burnt-out shell of a e bus in a street littered with rubble. The attack on al-Halqi punctuated a series of attacks on government officials in recent weeks. On April 18, gunmen shot dead the head of public relations at the Ministry of Social Affairs while he dined at a restaurant. A day later, a Syrian army colonel was killed in Damascus, and five days after that a bomb killed an official from the Electricity Ministry. Report: 260,000 died in Somali famine NAIROBI, Kenya- The 2011 Somali famine killed an estimated 260,000 peo- ple, half of them age 5 and under, according to a new report to be published this week that more than. doubles previous death toll estimates, officials told The Associated Press. The aid commu- nity believes that tens of thousands of people died needlessly because the international community was slow to respond to early signs of approaching hunger in East Africa in late 2010 and early 2011. The toll was also ex- acerbated by extremist militants from al-Shabab who banned food aid deliveries to the areas of south-central Somalia that they controlled.

Track Bass, Potts place at state finals BY DUSTIN KENT dkent@jcfloridan.com Jackson County track athletes competed in the 1A and 2A state track finals over the weekend in Jacksonville, with Marianna's Latia Bass taking the best finish by placing third in the girls' shot put in the 2A meet. Bass, a senior at ,MHS, fin- ished with a final mark of 41 feet, 0.75 inches to finish behind Eastside's Shadayz Bullock and Dunbar's Johnetta Williams. In the 1A finals; Graceville's Hunter Potts had the top finish for a county runner, taking fifth in the boys' 1600-meter run with a time of 4:30.35.

Lady 'Dawgs look to make history BY DUSTIN KENT dkent@jcfloridan.com The Marianna Lady Bulldogs have never been to the regional finals of the .state tournament, a fact that they'll look to erase from the record book when they travel to Madison County to take on the Cowgirls in tonight's regional semifinal playoff matchup. Marianna (17-6) is coming off of a wildly-entertaining 11-8 home .win over Florida High in Thursday night's first round game, with the Lady Bulldogs overcoming an early 4-0 deficit. The Lady Bulldogs come in as District 1 champs and with a ton of momentum and confidence, their coach Scott Wiggins said Monday. "Everybody is extremely excited and the girls have been upbeat," he said. "We were thrilled we were able to get by Florida High. The girls are in good spirits and ready to play." It was a huge win for Marianna af- ter being eliminated by Florida High in each of the past three seasons. The Lady Bulldogs will try to clear another hurdle against the District 2-4A champion Cowgirls by getting to the final eight of the state tour- nament, an achievement with sig- nificance that Wiggins said he and his players are well aware of. "Nobody has made it to the re- gional final before and (the players) know about it. We've talked about it," he said. "It's something special that can come out of this team. It's See HISTORY, Page 6B SCoBA Veteran Jason Collins comes out as gay The Associated Press WASHINGTON With the simplest of sentences, NBA veteran Jason Collins set aside years of worry and silence to become the first active player in one of four major U.S. profes- sional sports leagues to come out as gay. In a first-person article posted Monday on Sports Illustrated's website, Collins begins: "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay." Collins has played for six teams in 12 seasons, most recently as a reserve with the Washington Wizards after a midseason trade from the Boston Celtics. He is now a free agent and wants to keep playing in the NBA. "I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, 'I'm dif- ferent,'" Collins writes. "If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand." Saying he had "endured years of misery and gone to enormous lengths to live a lie," Collins im- mediately drew support for his announcement from the White House President Barack Obama called him along with In this file photo, Washington Wizards center Jason Collins (right) battles for a rebound against Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich during the first half of a game in Chicago. NBA veteran center Collins has become the first male professional athlete in the major four American sports leagues to come out as gay. former President Bill Clinton, the NBA, current and former teammates, a sponsor, and ath- letes in other sports. Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant tweeted that he was proud of Collins, writing: "Don't suffocate who u r because of the ignorance of others," followed by the words "courage" and "support." "We've got to get rid of the shame. That's the main thing. And Jason's going to help that. He's going to help give people courage to come out," said Billie Jean King, 'a member of the In- ternational Tennis Hall of Fame who confirmed she was gay after being outed in the early 1980s. "I guarantee you he's going to feel much lighter, much freer. The truth does set you free, there's no question. It doesn't mean it's easy. But it sets you free," King said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

WJMTGNX EMOJT Previous Solution: "I have always believed helping your fellow man is profitable in every sense, personally and bottom line." -" Mario Puzo TODAY CLUE: jslenboy ( 2013 by NEA, Inc., dist. by Universal Uclick 4-30 I Dear Annie: My boyfriend, "Jarrod," has always been very anxious about so- cial situations and has a hard time mak- ing friends. Since graduating from high school, he's lost touch with the few people he considered friends and has become very isolated. Together with the stress of passing his college courses, he has spi- raled into a serious depression. Jarrod constantly laments that he has no friends and that his family only wants him to get a job and move out. (They re- cently staged an intervention and referred to him as a "failure to launch.") He thinks no one besides me would care if anything happened to him. He often states that he wishes everything would just end. I want Jarrod to see a doctor and get help, but he says the idea of talking to someone about his problems scares him and stresses him out even more. He's con- vipced no one can help him. He thinks an- tidepressants would make him feel worse. Bridge Lou Holtz, a former football coach, said, "Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you respond to it." Is bidding 10 percent what your partner bids and 90 percent how you respond to it? Not really; it ought to be an equal division of labor. This week we are looking at responder's rebids. In today's deal, what should North do? As we learned yesterday, if North has a weak hand with 6-9 points (or a poor 10), he must pass or bid two hearts or two spades. Here, though, North has game- invitational strength. To show that, he must rebid two no-trump or three of a bid suit (or, although it is im- possible here, two of a new suit, as long as that would not be the fourth suit named in the auction, which we will cover later in the week). With three-card heart support, North should jump to three hearts. South would then bid four hearts. Next, look at the West hand. What should he lead against four hearts? The club queen looks mighty tempting. But what happens then? South wins with his,ace, takes dum- my's top spades to shake his club loser, and plays a diamond. West can win and shift to a trump, but de- clarer plays another diamond. South wins the next heart lead in his hand and ruffs a diamond on the board. He loses only three diamond tricks. With such strong diamonds sitting over declarer's second suit, West should lead a trump. Then, as long as he leads another heart every time he is on play, he gets four diamond tricks to defeat the contract. Horoscope TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It's OK to be your own person, but draw the line if your needs come at the expense of someone else's. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Don't allow yourself to be put in a position in which you're out of your depth. Be honest about your capabilities. CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Someone who is just as strong-willed as you might try to be the dominating force in your peer group. If you oppose this person, a collision is likely. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Poor results are highly likely if you have difficulty distinguishing between those who are in your cor- ner and those who are not, VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Surprisingly, you'll be better able to handle large ideas than small ones. Be careful, overly grandiose schemes could lead to your undoing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Unless you're extremely careful, it could be unwise to invest in certain situa- tions or people that you know little about. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Those with whom you're involved won't like it one bit if you take them or what they do for granted. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23- Dec. 21) -Assignments you neglect early on will return to haunt you. Keep on task. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Overly complex arrangements are destined to fail, so do your best to keep all of your involve- ments with friends as un- complicated as possible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) It won't do anyone any good to compare the achievements of an out- sider against your family. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) A surefire way to have others come down hardon you is to find fault with their thinking. Don't be the one to introduce controversy. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be careful and pru- dent in your commercial affairs or in the handling of financial funds, whether yours or someone else's. If When I suggest that a better sleep sched- ule, healthier eating habits and more ex- ercise could help, he says he doesn't care enough to try. How do I help him find the motivation to get the help he needs? I love him and am terrified that he's just given up on life. -WORRIED IN THE MOUNTAINS Dear Worried: Jarrod is depressed, but his unwillingness to get help prevents him from getting better and has become a burden on you. First, please understand that you are not.responsible for his men- tal health, and you cannot help him with- out his cooperation. Tell him that one 'little step could make all the difference, and suggest he speak to a counselor at the college. Offer to go with him. You can notify the counseling office about Jarrod's depression and ask them to check on him. We also recommend The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (dbsalliance. org). Opening lead:??

The New York Jets said Monday they waived Tebow. Tebow time over in New York The Associated Press NEW YORK The pos-. sibilities appeared endless for Tim Tebow. Here he was, perhaps the most popular player in the NFL, in New York as a member of the Jets and maybe the biggest thing to hit Broadway since Joe Namath himself. There were billboards outside the Lincoln Tunnel in New Jersey welcoming Tebow, and sandwiches named after him at Man- * hattan delis. He also had a legion of fans who fol- lowed him because of his strong Christian beliefs, and in New York, he would be able to take advantage of countless media and marketing opportunities. And then, it all went ter- ribly wrong. Or, more like it, the whole idea was completely flawed from the start. For Tebow. And for the Jets. Tebow was waived Mon- day morning, the end of an History From Page 1B in their hands to go play the kind of ball they're capable of playing. If we show up and play to our. abilities, I think we'll be alright." To create this oppor- tunity, Marianna had to overcome a good bit of early adversity against the Lady Seminoles, giv- ing up three runs in the first inning and a fourth in the second before ral- lying to score 11 consec- utive runs. Wiggins said the come- back win was another example of how mentally tough and battle-tested his team is.. "It definitely shows their determination and shows that we've been in those situations before this year already playing against better teams," he said. "It's one reason we play the schedule we Pirates From Page 1B Joe is really good and they've got more tradi- tion than Liberty County. They've been there and had more success." Port St. Joe has had two trips to the state semifi- nals recently, making it down state in 2009 as well as 2012; while Sneads ad- vanced to the state semis in 2011. The two teams faced off in the preseason, with Sneads winning 16-6, though the Lady Sharks weren't at full strength and Johnson said he didn't think that game had any bearing on this one. T"'He Lady Pirates coach got to see PSJ in its March. 16 tournament against Bay High and said he came away impressed. "They hit the ball well then and they'll prob- ably hit it well against us," Johnson said. "We're not going to keep them from hitting the ball, so we can't kick it around if we want a chance to win. It will be hard to keep them embarrassinglyunsuccess- ful one-season experiment in New York that produced more hype and headlines than production on the field. And it all ended quietly, with a- three-paragraph' news release. "Unfortunately," coach Rex Ryan said in a state- ment, "things did not work out the way we all had hoped." It also left Tebow's foot- ball future very much in doubt. Ayear after he threw aTD pass to win a playoff game in overtime for Denver, the Heisman Trophy winner with two college national titles at Florida and a na- tionwide following may have suited up for the last time. No NFL team has made a pitch to get him. The only nibble so far came from the Montreal Alouettes. They hold his rights in the Canadian Football League and said he come compete play and play up like we do, and that's to put them in those situations in the regular season so that when the postseason gets here, our girls have been there and hopefully don't panic. They realized that (after falling down), there was still a good bit of ball left to play and we had to fight back and never give up." Junior pitcher Taylor Hussey started in the circle for MHS in Thurs- day's game, rebounding from a tough start to put in a solid performance in a winning effort. She'll be tasked with leading the Lady Bull-- dogs to another win in the semis, as she gets the start against a Madison County team that Wig- gins said was very com- parable to Florida High. "I think they're very similar. They both beat each other during the year;, maybe Madison's pitching is a little better, from scoring a few runs, so we've got to score some runs ourselves." Johnson said he be- lieved his team would need at least five runs to win the game, specifi- cally mentioning his top five hitters in the lineup - Brooke Williams, Alay- nah Weiss, Shelbi Byler, Cambridge Chason, and Brandy Strickland need- ing to step up and have big nights to lead the SHS offense. " "I think it will come down to how our big girls hit," he said. "They hit there for a reason. If they have a big night, I really for a job as a backup. This is the same guy who led the Broncos to the postseason in 2011, but became expendable when Denver signed 'Peyton Manning as a free agent. The popular backup quar- terback was acquired by the Jets in March 2012 for a fourth-round draft pick and $1.5 million in sal- ary. He was introduced at the Jets' facility to plenty of fanfare at a lavish news 'conference, with Tebow re- peatedly saying he was "ex- cited" to be in NewYork. It turned out to be one of the few high points in Tebow's stay with the Jets. Along with his shirtless jog from the'practice field in the rain during training camp, of course. The Jets, never figured out a'way to use Tebow effectively, and he never forced the issue by being a good enougli player in practice to make Ryan and his coaches put him on the field more in games. but it's nothing overpow- ering," he said. "It's not like some of what we've faced against some of these bigger teams." If the Lady Bulldogs can come away with another positive result, they'll get a chance to play their way into the state semifinals with a victory over the winner of the regional semifinal game between Yulee and Episcopal; Getting into that posi- tion would be a win in itself for the Marianna program, Wiggins said. "It w6uld be humon- gous, without a doubt," he said. "It would be a. great boost for the soft- ball here at the high school where people can start seeing that if you work hard and are dedi- cated to a cause, good things will happen. If you put yourself in the right situations, positives will come out of it." The game will start at 7 p.m. like my chances. Those are the girls who can hit doubles, triples, and home runs. I think they're big- time hitters, and if they have good games, I'll take my chances against any- one. We need everybody to have a good game, but I think the difference could be those at the top of the lineup." ' Williams will be tasked with trying to keep the Port St. Joe bats quiet, as the sophomore pitcher will look to continue her outstanding season against one of the most talented lineups she has faced this year. Collins From Page 1B statement from President Ernie Grunfeld: "We are extremely proud of Jason and support his decision to live his life proudly and openly. He has been a leader on and off the court and an outstanding team- mate throughout his NBA career. Those qualities will continue to serve him both as a player and as a positive role model for others of all sexual orientation." Collins' coach with the Celtics, Doc Rivers, drew a comparison between Monday's announcement and Jackie Robinson's role when he joined the Brook- lyn Dodgers in 1947, break- ing the color barrier in Ma- jor League Baseball. "I am extremely happy and proud of Jason Collins. He's a pro's pro. He is the consummate professional and he is one of my favorite 'team' players I have ever coached," Rivers said. "If you have learned anything from Jackie Robinson, it is that teammates are always the first to accept. It will be society who has to learn tolerance." Collins says .he quietly made a statement for gay rights even while keeping his sexual orientation a se- cret. He wore No. 98 with the Celtics and Wizards 1998 was year that Mat- thew Shepard, a gay col- lege student in Wyoming, was killed, and the Trevor Project, a suicide preven- tion organization, was founded. According to the General Social Survey, the public- has grown increasingly accepting of gay relation- ships since the late 1980s. That survey found in 1987 that 76 percent of Ameri- cans thought sexual rela- tions between adults of the same sex was morally wrong. That fell to 43 per- cent by 2012. "I'm glad I'm coming out in 2013 rather than 2003. The climate has shifted; public opinion has shifted," Collins writes. "And yet we still have so much farther to go. Everyone is terrified of the unknown, but most of us don't want to return to a time when' minorities' were openly discriminated against." While some gay athletes have talked in the past about concerns that com- ing out would hurt their earning potential, 12-time Grand Slam singles cham- pion King said she thinks Collins' openness could have the opposite effect. "I have a feeling he's got a whole new career," King said. "I have. a feeling he's going to make more in en- dorsements than he's ever made in his life." Sports equipment maker Nike released a statement Monday saying: "We ad- mire Jason's courage and are proud that he is a Nike athlete. Nike believes in a But Johnson said that the talented right-hander has earned his trust and belief with her consistency. "Since Brooke has been pitching for us, I don't think I've had a bad out- ing out of her," he said. "I expect her to be steady and solid. We just have to back her up. We need to limit them to three outs per inning and not give up any extra outs. But Brooke is very competitive and I think her pitching will keep us in the game."
