Jamie Lee Wambles, 32, was also convicted of a fourth count of. mailing threatening com- munications to a federal agent, involving the potential bomb- ing of the federal courthouse in Tallahassee. Evidence presented at trial revealed that on Dec. 17, 2012, Wambles wrote his first threat- ening letter from a Jackson County jail facility to the clerk's I ,, B office at the fed- \ eral courthouse in Tallahassee claim- ing it contained Anthrax. This let- I ter was received B j" at the courthouse Wambles by court security officers. On Dec. 18, 2012, Wambles wrote a second threatening let- ter to the clerk's office at the same address with a white pow- der claiming it was anthrax. It turned out to be finely crushed Tylenol pills.. He wrote a third threatening letter on Dec. 20, 2012, to the same federal courthouse, this time claiming he would bomb the building unless his demands were met. Wambles was ag- grieved over the shooting death of his pit bull during his state ar- rest and wanted the officers re- sponsible to be investigated. Finally, on Jan. 7, 2013, Wam- bles mailed a fourth letter to an FBI agent claiming he had the materials to bomb the Tallahas- see federal courthouse if his concerns were not addressed. Wambles faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each of the first three counts, and up to 10 years in prison See WAMBLES, Page 13A SUBMITTED PHOTO A letter provided by the office of U.S. Attorney Pamela C.

LOCAL JACKSON COUNTY FLORIDAN www.jcfloridan.com Australian launches Cuba-Florida record swim attempt The Associated Press HAVANA Australian endurance athlete Chloe McCardel stroked through the open waters north of Cuba on Wednesday, de- termined to become the first person to swim the Straits of Florida nonstop without a protective shark cage. The 28-year-old from Melbourne had covered about 12 miles (19 kilo- meters) by late afternoon, her team reported via so- cial media. A boat that set out with her from Havana's Hemingway Marina was > joined by a second support I'n vessel that had sailed from SFlorida. In the morning, a smil- ing, upbeat McCardel ar- Srived in a pink 1950s Chevy : convertible at a rocky jetty in western Havana. She carefully adjusted her black swim cap and gog- Sgles while her husband applied grease around the edges of her suit to prevent chafing. 'As confident as I can be. think it's all going to work out well," she said of her chances. "It'll be tough, Though. It's not going to be an easy ride, but we'll get through it as a team." McCardel then jumped feet first into the water at 10 a.m. sharp. Based, on the afternoon update, she was averag- ing about 2 mph as she ITHI-ASSOUCIAlLLTE PRESS Australian swimmer Chloe McCardel waves to spectators as she begins her swim to Florida from the waters off Havana, Cuba, Wednesday, June 12. headed into her first night, a pace that would get her to Florida quicker than an- ticipated if she kept it up. McCardel had said she expected to take about 60 hours to arrive in the Flor- ida Keys, a little more than 100 miles to the northeast of Havana, braving sharks and jellyfish along the way. The weather report for that time period called for clear skies. The sea off Havana was flat and glassy Wednesday, precisely the ideal conditions that Mc- Cardel's science team had forecast. The strait has been busy the last three summers, with fellow marathon swimmers Diana Nyad and Penny Palfrey making four failed attempts at the crossing between them since 2011. Australian Susie Ma- roney successfully made the swim in 1997, although she did it with the benefit of a shark cage. "It is the hardest swim in the world today," McCa- rdel said Tuesday at a news conference in the Cuban capital. "No one has been able to achieve this. It's possibly harder than win- ning the World Cup or get- ting a gold medal." The challenge also out- strips by far, at least in terms of distance, any- thing she's done before. McCardel, who has twice made a double crossing of the English Channel, said the most time she's spent in the water continuously is 25 hours. She is swimming under English Channel Mara- thon rules, which means she cannot touch her support boat or hold on to anything. Nor can she wear a full-body wetsuit, which would help protect against exposure and jel- lyfish stings, or use a shark cage. A piece of equipment called a Shark Shield cre- ates an electromagnetic field around her in the water, discouraging the predators from getting too close. McCardel plans to stop every half hour or so to sip an energy drink, preferring that to solid foods. She and her team have spent the last nine and a half months planning the trip and studying others' attempts to try to figure out why those athletes were unable to complete the swim. The team picked June for the attempt in a bit of a tradeoff: While seas are warmer later in the sum- mer, this month typically sees lower concentrations of box jellyfish, whose dan- gerous stings have scuttled past attempts. They even took the lunar cycle into account. Moon- light attracts jellyfish to the surface, and that should be less of a problem as she set off under a new moon. McCardel said she be- lieved she could succeed where others fell short be- cause she assembled an unprecedented team that includes scientists on land who are experts on the Gulf Stream current that flows through the straits. They will be crunch- ing data in real time and feeding information to her support boat, a 44-foot catamaran dubbed the Sunluver, so the mission can dodge things such as the powerful eddies that have swept other swim- mers off course. "The advantage that this gives us is that we can fore- see 10, 20, 30 kilometers ahead," McCardel said. "So if we can slightly change our course to avoid things in the future, we're less likely to get picked up by an eddy.off the Gulf Stream and pushed in the wrong direction." Still, she acknowledged there was no wayto guaran- tee nature's cooperation. "The Gulf Stream ... it's like a wild animal," Mc- Cardel said. "You cannot predict it that much in ad- vance, so you cannot take historical data from Penny Palfrey or Diana Nyad's swim and say, well, this is what happened to them, therefore if we don't do ex- actly the same then we'll have a better outcome." It would seem an unlike- ly dream for a woman who didn't even learn to swim until she was 10 years old. Jury selection enters Day 3 in Zimmerman trial The Associated Press SSANFORD Attor- neys trying to seat a jury Sin George Zimmerman's trial for shooting an un- armed teen stopped ques- Stioning a white man in his 20s Wednesday after he gave answers that in- dicated he wouldn't be impartial. The juror, known as "R- 39" because potential pan- elists can be identified only Sby their numbers, said that * "murder is murder," even if it's self-defense. Zimmer- man, 29, is pleading not guilty to second-degree ", murder, claiming he shot - 17-year-oldTrayvonMartin last year in self-defense. A 44-day delay in Zim- merman's arrest last year led to protests around the U.S. They questioned whether the Sanford Police Department was seriously investigating the case of Martin, a black teen from the Miami area. Zimmer- man, who was a neighbor- hood watch volunteer in his gated community of Sanford, identifies himself as Hispanic. The potential juror left the Florida courtroom without defense attorneys asking questions. Attorneys had inter- viewed two dozen poten- tial jurors by the end of the third day of selection, in- cluding 10 on Wednesday. At least 70 jury candidates have been dismissed. Potential jurors ques- tioned Wednesday also in- cluded a white man in his 50s whose prior Facebook posting earned a question from Judge Debra Nelson. The nature of the posting wasn't disclosed but the judge asked the self-de- scribed painter and musi- cian if he had made it. He said yes and left the court- room a few minutes later. Earlier in the questioning, he said he thought Zim- merman should have been arrested but he hadn't formed an opinion on his guilt or innocence. Also interviewed Wednesday were a white woman in .her mid-20s who expressed concerns about her safety if picked and a black woman in her 20s who lived nearby the shooting but said she hadn't formed an opinion about it. A white woman in her 50s said she didn't like the negative image of Sanford that was por- trayed in the media after the shooting happened there. A white man in his 40s said serving on the jury would create a hardship for his young family, and a black woman in her 50s, who said she initially thought the Sanford Po- lice Department should have done more to inves- tigate the shooting. The investigation was even- tually taken over by the State Attorney's Office in Jacksonville. After Wednesday's court- room session had ended, Martin's father, Tracy Mar- tin, said his family was en- couraged so far in what he had seen in jury selection. "We are encouraged as a family that we can get jus- tice for our son Trayvon, and we expect the public to come forth and be hon- est as potential jurors," Tracy Martin said. High court denies stay for Florida death row author ; The Associated Press -. STARKE The U.S. Su- preme Court denied a stay of execution Wednesday for a Florida man who, in an attempt to free a pris.- oner, orchestrated a prison Svan ambush in 1987 that L left a guard dead. William Van Poyck (pro- Snounced poyk) was set to die b.y lethal injection at : 7 p.m. Wednesday EDT at Sthe Florida State Prison for .. the murder of prison guard : Fred Griffis. His case has * garnered international at- tention because Van Poyck published three books and Maintained a blog while on death row. The 58-year-old Van SPoyck declined a final meal and visited' Wednesday With his sister, four friends Sand a spiritual adviser. Van Poyck and Frank Valdes ambushed a prison van outside a West Palm Beach doctor's office in a failed attempt to free James O'Brien. Griffis was fatally shot after he threw the van's keys into the bushes to foil the escape. Van Poyck and Valdes were captured following a car chase. In his appeals, Van Poyck argued that Valdes fired the fatal shots and that if the jury had known that, he wouldn't have been sentenced to death. The Florida Supreme Court last week rejected Van Poyck's latest appeal involvingVal- des' widow, who says her husband told her he was the shooter. The justices noted that Van Poyck planned the es- cape attempt and that he and Valdes carried loaded weapons. Courts have re- jected similar arguments in the past, including one from a former inmate who also said Valdes confessed to killing Griffis. Van Poyck, Valdes and O'Brien had served time together at various Florida state prisons for violent crimes. In 1999, Valdes was stomped to death in pris- on. Seven guards were charged with his death, but none were convicted. Following Valdes' death, Van Poyck was moved to Sussex State Prison in Vir- ginia for his safety. That's where he wrote a 324-page autobiography, 'A Check- ered Past: A Memoir," say- ing his purpose was not to elicit sympathy but "to put a human face on me and convicts in general." Van Poyck went on to write two novels. He won awards for his writing and has kept a blog since 2005 - he writes letters to his sister Lisa Van Poyck and she posts them online. "He is deeply remorse- ful for the ending of Fred Griffis' life," LisaVan Poyck told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "He is guilty of a crime of trying to break somebody out of a prison transport van he had no intention of hurting anyone." Lisa Van Poyck, who trav- eled to Starke, Fla., this week to meet with her brother for the final time, had been hoping for a last- minute stay from the high court. "He's not the man that he was when this crime was committed," she said. In his blog, Van Poyck wrote in recent entries that he has received dozens of letters a day regarding his pending'execution. "I am not unusual in wanting to believe, at the end of my line, that my life counted for something good, that I had some pos- itive influence on some- one, that my life made a difference, that I was able to at least partially atone for the many mistakes I made earlier in life," he wrote. State Briefs Man kills young son, then himself PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. -Authorities say a Florida Panhandle man fatally shot his 10-year- old son and then killed himself. The Bay County Sheriff's Office reports that deputies found Phil- lip Stephens dead of a gunshot wound Tuesday night at a Panama City Beach home. His son, Joshua, was initially still alive but died a short time later at a nearby hospital. The Panama City News Herald reports that a teenage family member was also at home at the time of shooting but did not witness it. Family members told investiga- tors that Stephens had a history of threatening suicide. Woman charged with murder SARASOTA- A south- west Florida woman previously charged with child abuse in her step- daughter's death has now been charged with murder. Prosecutors an- nounced Wednesday that Misty Stoddard has been charged with first-degree murder. Her husband the victim's father continues to await trial on an ag- gravated child abuse charge. The Stoddards are ac- cused in the December death of 11-year-old Me- lissa Stoddard. Authori- ties say she died of lack of oxygen to the brain. Prosecutors say the child, who was autistic, .had been tied and forced to sleep on a plywood board, her mouth duct- taped shut. The girl lost 40 pounds over a three- month period. Florida officials encourage lionfish harvests TALLAHASSEE A temporary rule making it easier to catch lionfish in Florida waters will soon be permanent. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conserva- tion Commission on Wednesday adopted changes that will waive the recreational license requirement for divers harvesting lionfish using pole spears; handheld nets, Hawaiian slings or other devices specifically designed for catching li- onfish. The new rule also excludes lionfish from the commercial and recreational bag limits, allowing people to take as many of the invasive fish as they can.

While some action against the Scouts was widely anticipated, given the denomination's very public opposition to the change, the resolution takes a softer tone than many had expected. It also calls on the Boy Scouts to remove execu- tive and board leaders who tried to allow gays as both members and leaders without consulting the many religious groups that sponsor troops.

Trio of blazes burn out of control in Colorado COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -A trio of Colo- rado wildfires fueled by hot temperatures, gusty winds and thick, bone-dry forests has burned dozens of homes and forced the evacuation of more than 7,000 residents and nearly 1,000 inmates at medium- security prison. Wildfires also were burn- ing in New Mexico, Oregon and California, where a smokejumper was killed fighting one of dozens of lightning-sparked fires. Crews were so busy battling wildfires across the West that the U.S. Forest Service announced Wednesday it is mobilizing a pair of Defense Depart- ment cargo planes to drop slurry on the blazes. Such action can't be taken unless all of the Forest Service's contracted tank- ers already are in use. From wire reports Storms pelt Midwest with rain, winds, hail SThe Associated Press CHICAGO A massive line of storms packing hail, lightning and tree-toppling winds began rolling through the Midwest Wednesday evening and could affect more than one in five Americans from Iowa to Mary- land before subsiding. In the small town of Belmond, Iowa, about 90 miles north of Des Moines, Duwayne Abel, owner of Cattleman's Steaks & Provi- sions restaurant, said a tornado swooped through his business' parking lot and demolished part of the building. No one was in the restaurant at the time. "I was, oh, eight miles west of town and I looked toward town and I could see a funnel cloud, having no idea it was exactly where our restaurant was," Abel said. His wife and an employee were able to get out of the res- taurant and sought shelter in a basement. Other small tornadoes were also reported in other parts of Iowa and in Illinois. Authorities in Iowa said at least two businesses and a home were "completely damaged" by severe weather, and tens of thousands of people from Iowa to Indiana had lost power. "We're just happy that we don't have reports of injuries or fatali- ties," said Stephanie Bond with Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management. "We just hope the extent of the danm- age is minimal." In addition to tornadoes, light- ning and large hail, meteorolo- gists were warning about the possibility of a weather event called a derecho, which is a storm of strong straight-line winds spanning at least 240 miles. The storms are also likely to cause power outages that will be fol- lowed by oppressive heat, said Russell Schneider, director of the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. Flash flooding was also a concern in some areas. The center was using its high- ; ,. I' 1 I, ~ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Lightning flashes over the Chicago skyline Wednesday. An unusually massive line of storms packing hail, lightning and tree-toppling winds was rolling through the Midwest on Wednesday and could affect more than one in five Americans from Iowa to Maryland. est alert level for parts of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. In Chicago, Wednesday night's White Sox game against the To- ronto Blue Jays was postponed and a symphony concert at the city's downtown Millennium Park was canceled. The Metra commuter rail service halted all inbound and outbound trains, and Northwestern University canceled classes and finals at its campuses in Chicago and subur- ban Evanston. Airlines canceled more than 120 flights at O'Hare International Airport. The warnings prompted the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. to increase staff at its cus- tomer call center and scheduling extra work crews to handle any power outages. Pennsylvania Emergency Man- agement Agency spokesman CoryAngell said a standbyworker was added at the emergency op- erations center in Harrisburg and officials had ensured two Nation- al Guard helicopters were ready if needed for water rescues. All told, the area the weather service considered to be under heightened risk of dangerous weather included 74.7 million people in 19 states. Last year, a derecho caused at least $1 billion in damage from Chicago to Washington, killing 13 people and leaving more than 4 million people without power, according to the weather service. Winds reached nearly 100 mph in some places and in addition to the 13 people who died from downed trees, an additional 34 people died from the heat wave that followed in areas without power. Derechoes, with winds of at least 58 mph, occur about once a year in the Midwest. Rarer than tornadoes but with weaker winds, derechoes produce dam- age over a much wider area. Tornadoes and a derecho can happen at the same time. Straight-line winds lack the rota- tion that twisters have, but they can still cause considerable dam- age as they blow down trees and other objects. For Washington, Philadelphia and parts of the Mid-Atlantic the big storm risk continues and even increases a bit Thursday, ac- cording to the weather service. The term derecho was coined in 1888, said Ken Pryor, a re- search meteorologist at the Cen- ter for Satellite Applications and Research at-the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in College Park, Md. The word is Spanish for "straight ahead" or "direct," Pryor said. The structure of a derecho-pro- ducing storm looks distinctive in radar and satellite imagery, Pryor said. "The systems are very large and have signatures that are very extreme," he said. "You get large areas of very cold cloud tops that you typically wouldn't see with an ordinary thunderstorm com- plex. The storms take on a com- ma or a bow shape that's very distinctive." Coroner details Santa Monica rampage deaths The Associated Press LOS ANGELES As au- thorities pressed their in- vestigation into why Santa Monica gunman John Za- wahri killed five people in a rampage last week, new details began to emerge about the violence. On Wednesday, the Los Angeles County coroner's office provided details of the deaths of the five people police say the 23- year-old Zawahri fatally shot and of the gunman, who was killed by police on Friday. Zawahri's father, Samir Zawahri, 55, was shot multiple 'times and his brother, Christopher Za- wahri, 25, was shot once in the chest, said coro- ner's Lt. Fred Corral. The gunshots killed the father and brother in the father's home. The gunman then car- jacked a woman and moved toward Santa Monica College, shooting at strangers in a public bus and a car. The 15- minute rampage occurred as students were taking final exams and ended with John Zawahri fatally shot by officers in the col- lege library. Corral said he THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Letecia Franco holds a family picture Sunday during a news conference about her sister Marcela Franco and father Carlos Navarro Franco, both in picture, who were killed in Friday's deadly rampage shooting in Santa Monica, Calif. died of multiple gunshot wounds. Victims included a cam- pus groundskeeper Carlos Navarro Franco, 68, who died of gunshot wounds to the neck and face; his daughter, Marcela Diaz- Franco, 26, a student at the college who died of a gunshot wound to the head; and Margarita Go- mez, 68, who was collect- ing cans outside the li- brary and died of gunshot wounds to the abdomen and chest. Seven years before he went on Friday's rampage, Zawahri kept bomb-mak- ing materials at his house and threatened students, teachers and campus po- lice officers at a school he attended for troubled stu- dents, officials said. Zawahiri was hospital- ized for psychiatric evalu- ation in 2006 after the discovery. Police in 2006 searched the house where Zawahri lived with his father after the teen made repeated violent threats against students, teachers and campus security officers at Olympic High School. Retired police offi- cer Cristina Coria, who helped execute the search warrant, said Tuesday she didn't know what was found at the house or the outcome of the mental evaluation. The Santa Monica- Malibu Unified school board was briefed at the time by school adminis- trators after police found Zawahri was learning to make explosives by down- loading instructions from YouTube, school board member Oscar de la Torre said. "It was some type of devices or materials that would be able to make explosives, and the word 'pipe bombs' was what was referred to," he told The Associated Press. "If it was guns and stuff like that it would have been more serious, but because it was explosives, it wasn't deemed 'Oh my God,' just that this guy had a fascination." Investigators are looking at his police history, along with a stormy family life, to determine what led to the chaotic shooting Fri- day. The encounter seven years ago appeared to be the last reported run-in Zawahri had with police until Friday. Police Sgt. Richard Lew- is said a pipe was found in the home in 2006, but he declined to provide more details because ZawahrAi was a juvenile at the time Zawahri wasn't expelled, but he didn't finish classes at Olympic High a school for students who have academic or disci- plinary issues. District su- perintendent Sandra Lyon said Zawahri attended the school for six months dur- ing 2006. De la Torre, who was a neighbor of Zawahri, said the gunman's father told him he was having prob- lems with, his son eight months ago. "They didn't talk to a lot of people, they were very reserved," de la Torre said. "One time he did tell me he had problems with his younger son, knowing I work with youth. He nev- er went into detail about anything." I Air LOCAL NEWS, YOURWAY. WEEKNIGHTS AT 5:00, 6:00, & 10:00 4944 Malloy Plaza East Marianna, FL 32448 850-482-0002 I STAY INFORMED!

President Jacob Zuma told parliament that he is happy with the prog- ress that the 94-year-old is making following his hospitalization on Saturday. Mandela spent a fifth straight day Wednesday in a Pretoria hospital, where he was visited by one of his daughters and two granddaughters. Zuma noted that Wednesday marked the 49th anniversary of the sentencing of Mandela to life in prison in 1964. He said "our thoughts" are with Mandela and his family "on this crucial his- torical anniversary." "We are very happy with the progress that he is now making following a diffi- cult last few days," Zuma said. "We appreciate the messages of support from all over the world." Zuma on Wednesday applauded the legacy of Mandela and other anti- apartheid activists. South Africa's government 'dis- banded its official policy of apartheid racial segre- gation and discrimination - in 1994. "Our country is a much better place to live in now than it was before 1994, even though we still have so much work to do," Zuma said.

His admission to a hospi- tal in Pretoria, the capital, is Mandela's fourth time being admitted to a hospi- tal for treatment since De- cember. President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama wished Mandela a "speedy recovery" on Tuesday. Manmdela's grandson, Mandla Mandela, visited his grandfather onWednes- day and said the family has been deeply touched by the outpouring prayers and messages of goodwill from around the world. He said the family is satisfied with the care Mandela is receiving. Zuma used Wednesday's budget address to parlia- ment as an occasion to highlight the work carried out by the African National Congress, the party that Mandela led to South Af- rica's presidency, over the last 19 years. South Africa's economy has expanded 83 per- cent since 1994 and per capital income increased by 40 percent, Zuma said. But the recession in Europe, South Africa's biggest trading partner, has hit Africa's biggest economy hard, and he said South Africa which has experienced deadly la- bor strife in recent years - must move past labor violence. The vestiges of apart- heid, Zuma said, remain in South Africa: Black South Africans have less education and fewer skills than whites because of the apartheid era. As part of promoting national reconciliation, the imple- mentation of black eco- nomic empowerment pol- icies will continue, he said. Direct black ownership in Johannesburg's stock mar- ket is less than 5 percent. "In addition, annual Em- ployment Equity reports indicate that white males still own, control and man- age the economy," Zuma said.

Harris went all six innings on the mound, giving up just - the one hit and two walks to go with six strikeouts. His two-out homer to straightaway centerfield in the top of the sixth inning gave the Marianna All Stars the lead for good and kept their title hopes alive at least for one more night. Marianna was scheduled to take on Holmes County again on Wednesday night in a re- match for the championship. Holmes County went into'4 Tuesday's game undefeated, meaning that Marianna will have to win a second time to claim the title, an opportu- nity granted by Harris' pitch- ing and hitting performance Tuesday. "He did a great job," Mari- anna coach Rhett Rogers said of Harris. "The whole team actually played well. It was a really good ballgame on both sides. We did a good job de- fensively, and Jessie pitched a great game." Marianna scored the first run of the game in the top of the fourth when Randall Smith walked and eventually scored on a fielder's choice, but Holmes County tied it up in the bottom half of the inning.

Howell went all six in- nings and allowed seven hits and three walks while striking out seven to get the win. He also led the team of- fensively with three hits, while Russell Allen, Parker Hayes, and Parker McCord all chipped in with two hits apiece. Sneads got off to a fast start with five runs in the first inning, adding two more in the second and two in the fourth to take a 9-1 lead. Liberty County made a charge in the sixth with five runs to cut the margin to three, but Howell was able to hold on and finish the game out to secure the win. "(Howell) was get- ting tired out there, but I wanted to let him finish," Sneads coach Quitman Barn said. "I haven't seen him pitch like that all year. He just had a phenomenal game. The Sneads offense also had a stellar outing with 17 hits, as all but one Sneads player had at least one hit on the night. "My kids hit the ball bet- ter than they have even in practice," the coach said. "We got a little complacent going into Saturday and it cost us because we weren't being aggressive. I told them (going into Tuesday's game) the first thing they saw to hit it and be aggres- sive and that's what they did. "I was proud of them. I haven't seen them come together like that all year. I think they surprised everybody." SParker hopeful for Game 4 :Parker hopefiul for Game 4 The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO Tony Parker, along with all of San Antonio, really, spent a restless night worrying about a gimpy right ham- string that hampered him in Game 3 of the NBA Fi- nals and threatened the !momentum the Spurs seized with a drubbing of the Miami Heat. -I A day later, Parker said he got some good news. ."Just how good the news is likely won't be known until -'6Game 4 begins on Thurs- ,day night. Parker had an MRI on -Wednesday that revealed a Grade 1 strain of his ham- .string, the mildest level of vistrain. He's listed as day to day. "I was just hoping it was -not a tear," Parker said. "The good news is it's not a tear or a defect. So that's :the good news. Now I just have to see how I feel tomorrow." Parker was injured early min the second half of Game 3, which the Spurs won 113-77 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven se- ties. He was limited to six points and eight assists in 27 minutes and left the game early in the fourth quarter with the outcome already decided. t" Parker did not participate in the portion of practice on Wednesday that was open to the media, instead watching his teammates go through a light workout while spending much of the time in conversation with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. S"We'll see how it goes -'tomorrow. We'll talk with Pop," Parker said. "I know 'Pop is always going to pre- fer to take low risk." When asked about Park- n er's outlook, Popovich said, "a lot of it will be what he feels, I think." Parker's injury somewhat muted the celebration in San Antonio following the Spurs' decisive bounce- back victory that put them ,'two wins shy of the fran- -'chise's fifth championship. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS San Antonio's Tim Duncan (left) and Tony Parker talk during a practice in San Antonio on Wednesday. While the Spurs' role players have been playing incredibly well in these fi- nals, they know they will need Parker's leadership, guts and unparalleled mas- tery of the pick-and-roll to bury LeBron James and the Heat. Danny Green, Gary Neal and Kawhi Leonard have been revela- tions so far in this series. scoring the same number of points (130) through the first three games that the Heat's vaunted trio of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have managed. Neal filled in brilliantly for a slowed-down Parker ,on Tuesday night, scoring 24 points and hitting six 3-pointers to pick Iup the slack. The Spurs have two more games at home on Thursday and then Game 5 on Sunday to try to close out the Heat and avoid having to head back to Miami. "A lot of the Miami de- fense is focusing on me and my teammates are taking advantage of it," Parker said. "They're play- ing great and hopefully they can keep it going." Still, it feels like a long way to go, because Parker is the engine that keeps this precision machine humming. He entered his fourth NBA Finals at the height of his powers, as- serting himself as the best point guard in the game by carrying the Spurs into the showdown with Miami. After scoring 21 points and dishing out six assists in San Antonio's Game 1 win, Parker was averaging 22.9 points and 7.1 assists this playoffs, the best numbers of his career for a postsea- son that included more than one series. He scored 13 points on 5-for-14 shooting in their Game 2 loss and was just 2 for 5 on Tuesday night. As important as his scor- ing and distributing have been for the Spurs, the confidence he instills with his steady hand on the throttle may be even big- ger. The Spurs aren't big on swagger, but they play with a different demeanor when he's on the court slicing and dicing oppos- ing defenses. "He does a lot for us," Neal said. "If he's not scoring, he's drawing the defense and being a fa- cilitator. He has a great basketball I.Q. He brings a certain amount of con- fidence and toughness to our team. We definitely need Tony on the floor." If Parker has to miss Game 4, it no doubt would inject some life into a Heat team that was dazed and staggered in Game 3. A club that won 66 games in the regular season, in- cluding 27 straight at one point, and entered the playoffs as the prohibitive favorite to repeat as cham- pions found itself down by 37 points at one point in the loss. Malone From Page 7 Dylan Padgett started on the mound and went 3 1/3 innings to get the win for Malone, giving up four runs on four hits with seven strikeouts. "We started off kind of sluggish and then they picked it up around the middle of the game and finished pretty strong," Malone coach Lenny Weber said of his team. "Dylan threw the ball re- ,ally good and didn't walk that many people."

Bulldog Wrestling Club to stay alive in the double elimination tournament. If Malone won Wednes- day night's game, it would leave the tournament with three one-loss teams: Malone, Calhoun County, and the winner of Tuesday night's game between Lib- erty County and Sneads. In that event, therewould be a coin flip between two of the three teams to de- termine who moves on to the final game and who has to play the third team to get to that game. With a win for the Cal- houn County All Stars, there would be just two teams remaining and the winner of Sneads vs. Lib- erty County would need two victories to win the title.

We are both married, although she is going through a divorce. Since that day, she and I have been talking quite a bit. We discuss a lot of different things, all on a platonic level. The problem is, I believe I am becoming infatuated with her again. I had a thing for her throughout high school but never had the courage to ask her out, prob- ably because I was too afraid to lose our friendship. I am now in a situation where I won't be home for a few months. I know I will miss her communication. I feel I'm doing something wrong. Is this normal? Do I need to just keep my distance and cease contact? Bridge Anna Quindlen, an author and journalist, said, "Life is not so much about beginnings and endings as it is about going on and on and on. It is about muddling through the middle." Bridge deals, though, are about all of the tricks, the beginning, middle and end. One must be careful about jumping to conclusions at the beginning. In this deal, how should South play in three no- trump after West leads the spade eight? When North balances with two clubs, he may bid a couple of points lighter than he would have needed in second position. So when South ad- vances, he should add a couple of points for his ac- tions hence two no-trump, not three no-trump. But North, because he has a full-weight overcall, raises. Declarer starts with seven top tricks: one spade, three hearts, one diamond and two clubs. Obvi- ously, the clubs will provide several extra winners. Also, because the spade queen can be established immediately, it looks natural for declarer to play low from the board at trick one. However, that could be fatal. East can win with his spade king and shift to diamonds. Then, when he gets in with his club trick, the defenders run the diamonds. (Yes, if South first cashes his major- suit winners, East will have to unblock diamonds, keeping a low card, but West's carding should have made it clear to do that.) Instead, declarer should take the first trick with dummy's spade ace and play a low club, covering East's card as cheaply as possible to allow for a 4-0 split. Here, he wins with his five and must take at least 10 tricks. BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL Dear Bacd You recognize that you are "becoming" infatuated (we think you are already there) and will miss this woman's communication. The fact that she is going through a divorce also puts you in an awkward position, because she may lean on you for comfort, and when she becomes available, you will find her hard to resist. Please back far, far away before you find yourself enmeshed in an affair, whether emotional or physical. If your marriage needs revitalizing, work on it. Consider how your wife would feel if she found out how close you are to this other woman. How would you feel if she did this to you? You are playing with fire. Stop.

Probationer facing additional drug charge From staff reports A state probationer is facing an additional drug charge after an en- counter with county law enforcement. According to the Jack- son County Sheriff's Of- fice, shortly after mid- night Wednesday a JCSO patrol deputy, along with a K-9 deputy, conducted a "consensual encounter" with Armard R. Lovett on Highway 73 South near Creekwood Drive, south of Marianna. Deputies discovered that Lovett was on state probation for prior drug charges. During the encounter, JCSO says Lovett agreed to a search of his person, while simultaneously re- moving a cigarette pack- age from his pocket, handing it to one of the depu- ties. Inside, the deputy Lovett noticed a clear, plas- tic bag containing hard pieces of a white sub- stance in various sizes. The bag's contents were, officials say, consistent with the appearance of crack cocaine. Deputies then detained Lovett and conducted a probable-cause search of his person. The search revealed a small, green zip-top bag containing a white, pow- dery substance believed to be powder cocaine. Also found was an addi- tional cigarette package containing a "baggie" of suspected crack cocaine and another small bag of suspected power cocaine. The quantity, portion size and packaging of the suspected crack cocaine, according to officials, ap- peared to be consistent with the intent to sell or distribute the substance. Lovett was placed under arrest, charged with pos- session of cocaine with the intent to distribute, -and violation of state pro- bation. He was transport- ed to the Jackson County Correctional Facility to await first appearance in court. Turkish government open to referendum to end protests The Associated Press ISTANBUL Turkey's government on Wednes- day offered a first concrete gesture aimed at ending nearly two weeks of street protests, proposing a refer- endum on a development project in Istanbul that triggered demonstrations that have become the big- gest challenge to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Er- dogan's 10-year tenure. Protesters expressed doubts about the offer, however, and continued to converge in Taksim Square's Gezi Park, epi- center of the anti-govern- ment protests that began in Istanbul 13 days ago and spread across the country. At times, police have bro- ken up demonstrations us- ing tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets. The protests erupted May 31 after a violent po- lice crackdown on a peace- ful sit-in by activists ob- jecting to a development THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A Turkish protester shows a book containing a historical speech delivered by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Turkey's found- er, saying "He's our father, our leader and our mentor", while sitting in Kugulu Park in Ankara, Turkey on Wednesday.. project that would replace Gezi Park with a replica Ot-. toman-era barracks. They then spread to dozens of cities, rallying tens of thousands of people each night. In a skirmish late Wednesday in Ankara, police used tear gas and water cannon to break up some 2,500 protesters who set up makeshift barri- cades on a road leading to government offices. The referendum pro- posal came after Erdogan, who had been defiant and uncompromising in recent days, met with a group of 11 activists, including aca- demics, students and art- ists, in Ankara. However, groups involved in the protests in Taksim and the park boycotted the meet- ing, saying they weren't invited and the attendees didn't represent them. Greenpeace said it didn't participate because of an "environment of violence" in the country, while Tak- sim Solidarity, which has been coordinating much of the occupation of Gezi Park, said it had not been invited. The group reiter- ated its demands that Gezi remain a public park, that abusive senior officials be fired, and all detained pro- testers be released not issues the referendum would address. But the. discussion was the-first sign'that Erdogan was looking for an exit from the showdown, and came hours after some Eu- ropean leaders expressed concern about recent strong-armed Turkish po- lice tactics and hopes that the prime minister would soften his stance. Huseyin Celik, spokes- man for Erdogan's Islamic- rooted Justice .and Devel- opment 'party, announced it would consider holding a referendum over the de- velopment project. But he said any vote would ex- clude the planned demo- lition of a cultural center that the protesters also oppose, insisting it was in an earthquake-prone area and had to come down. In a more defiant note, he said the ongoing sit-in in Gezi Park would not be allowed to continue "until doomsday" a sign that authorities' patience is running out. But Celik also quoted Erdogan as saying that police would be inves- tigated, and any found to have used excessive force against protesters would be punished. Erdogan, who has claimed the protests were orchestrated by extrem- ists and "terrorists," has become the centerpiece of the protesters' ire. So a referendum would be a political gamble that the government can mobilize its supporters, win the vote and the demonstra- tors would go home. "The most concrete re- sult of the meeting was this: we can take this issue to the people of Istanbul in a referendum. We can ask the people of Istanbul if they want it (the bar- racks)," Celik said. "We will ask them: 'Do you accept what's going on, do you want it or not?'" But many protesters were skeptical. "I don't think anything changed with that," said Hatice Yamak of the ref- erendum plan. "We don't think he will do it I think he's lying." Other protesters were suspicious of how the vote would be held. "I think there will be a referendum but it won't be fair," said Mert Yildirinm, a 28-year-old who had been attending the protests ev- ery night. "They will an- nounce that the people want Gezi Park to become a shopping mall. They will cheat."

Richard Petty has always said racing is just a part of the family-business culture. "If my daddy had been a farmer, I'm guessing that's what I would have done," Petty has said in the past.

Such talk makes them swoon on "The View" and in Oprah's world, but don't bet on it happening. Such things supposedly aren't guaranteed, but 21st-century obstetrics has made it possible to keep NASCAR babies from weekend coming-out parties. Either that, or it's been one heckuva long-running coincidence. And now it's affecting marriages? Kinda. It's one thing to make sure babies aren't born late in the week. There's still some gamble involved. But a wedding is easier, and Trevor Bayne must be quite a catch, because he convinced new bride Ashton to get married last TUESDAY! And what's more, he talked her into honeymooning in Newton, Iowa. Why would she agree to Newton? First, if you're honeymooning to see the sites, I smell trouble. As for Newton, one of two reasons, we're guessing. It could've been the chance to view the Newton Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, or perhaps visit Iowa Speedway, where Trevor not only worked through the honeymoon, but actually won his first Nationwide Series race in two years. While the arboretum is surely very nice, though we're not sure what it is, we're thinking the speedway was Newton's clincher as a honeymoon destination.
