Peggy Yon Mills helps Chipola Family Ministries volunteer Larry Jones
unload food and other items collected for charity at her 70th birthday
party, one she turned into a special "giving party."


Vol.91No.13


Woman celebrates 70th


by throwing 'giving party'

Instead of gifting the honoree, guests gave to her favorite causes


BY DEBORAH BUCKHALTER

When Peggy Yon Mills started
thinking about her 70th birth-
day, she realized something.
She has all she needs, really, but
she knew her family and friends
would want to give her some
gifts. She thought, then, about
all the people in Jackson County


who are in need.
A longtime teacher at Cotton-
dale High School and now re-
tired, Mills is the namesake of a
scholarship that was established
at the school in recent years. She
proudly supports the CHS Peggy
Yon Mills Scholarship Fund be-
cause she knows there are local
parents whose financial strug-
gles make it difficult to send their


kids to college.
She thought, too, about the
many less-fortunate families'
who need food, clothing and
household items. As a long-
time supporter of Chipola Fam-
ily Ministries, which distributes
those items to many, she knew
the need was great.

Woman traveling outside her homeland for the first time visits family in Marianna


BY DEBORAH BUCKHALTER
dbuckhalter@jcfloridan.com

When Angel Trejo was 10 years old, he
had to leave his native Cuba. His par-
ents sent him, his brother and his sister
to live with relatives in Florida as Cuba
came under the control of Fidel Castro.
Their father, a physician in great de-
mand within the government-con-
trolled medical system, had not been
given permission to go immediately,
and their mother did not want to leave
their father's side.
Not knowing, in the uncertainties of
a changing regime, whether she would
ever see her husband again if she left,
she opted to stay with him and put their
children in the care of their aunt, Rosela
Martin.
Martin and her husband had worked
for Fulgencio Batista, who was toppled
by Castro. They had long since fled Cuba
for their safety and were established in
Miami by the time Trejo's parents decid-
ed it was time to leave.
Trejo said his aunt Rosela became a
true mother figure. Calming, loving and
reassuring the children for the eight
frightening months that they were with-
out their parents, who did eventually get
out together, she embraced her nieces

possibilities. Villavicencio settled on light brown.


and nephews as her own.
Her loving support is not forgotten in
adulthood. Today, Trejo does what he
can to mirror her commitment as he
helps his family members who never
made it out of Cuba. His father had
moved the family to Marianna and


served as the medical services chief at
Sunland for several years.
As the child of a medical professional,
the importance of proper medical sup-
plies wasn't lost on Trejo. That's one of

New Year's Fire


Picking



up the



pieces

Pete family presses
on after blaze that
claimed four lives
BY DEBORAH BUCKHALTER
dbuckhalter@jcfloridan.com
The children who suffered the
loss of four important adults in
a Marianna fire last month are
finding their way as the family
tries to heal itself with the help
of God and a loving community,
according to Rodell Pete, son
of the guiding matriarch who
perished in the fire.
By all accounts, Gertrude Pete
was the glue that held her family
together. Six young children and
several adult family members
lived with her. At the age of 68,
after having raised her own
children, she was raising twin
daughters of another family
member. She also was helping
daughter Martieka Speights,
who was living there with her
three children. Her daughter
Cynthia and Cynthia's son lived
with her, too, and she provided
her daughters with mothering
advice.
The lives under her roof at
4472 Jackson St. were shattered
on NewYear's Day. The fire call
came in just before 8 a.m. that
day. By the time firefighters got
there two minutes later, the
fire was already in an advanced

Atkins donates


$2,500 to the


WHTC Foundation


Special to the Floridan

The Washington-Hol-
mes Technical Center
Foundation has re-
cently received a $2,500
Community Funding
Grant from the Atkins
Foundation.
The. Atkins Foundation
was established in 2006
to give back to the com-
munities in which their
employees live and work.
They based their model
for giving on the concept
of "community, itself."
The foundation primarily
supports community ini-
tiatives focused on edu-
cation and response to
natural disasters.
Special consideration
is given to programs that
promote science, tech-
nology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM).
They strongly encourage
support of local nonprofit
IRS Section, 501(c)(3) or-
ganizations target pro-
grams, especially those


that demonstrate a track
record for success.
The Washington-Hol-
me,s Technical Center
Foundation provides
scholarships and assis-
tance to students who
plan to attend or are pres-
ently attending Washing-
ton-Holmes Technical
Center. Founded in 1987,
the WHTC Foundation
certainly qualifies for this
grant based on its track
record of success over the
years.
In the last fiscal year,
the foundation provided
assistance to '66 students
in 18 different programs
at WHTC, and 50 stu-
dents the year before. The
most active WHTC pro-
grams with students
receiving grants were li-
censed practical nurse,
pharmacy tech, and
cosmetology.
The Atkins donations
intended to increase in-
terest in STEM programs
atWHTC.

BCF president to preach





the first week of chapel


SUBMITTED PHOTO
BCF President Thomas A. Kinchen will preach in the R. G. Lee
Chapel Jan. 20-22 at 10 a.m; CST.


Special to the Floridan

Faculty and students at The Baptist
College of Florida in Graceville excit-
edly await the first week of chapel
services for the spring semester, Jan.
20-22 at 10 a.m., featuring BCF Presi-
dent Thomas A. Kinchen.
The highly anticipated worship
service held in the R. G. Lee Chapel
always includes a message from the
president, a welcome to the new
students and words of encourage-
ment for returning students and the
Graceville community.
"Chapel services are at the very
heart of whowe are and what we do


at The Baptist College of Florida,"
stated Kinchen.. "We have been giv-
en a wonderful responsibility and
opportunity as our Lord commis-
sioned us to go into the world and
make disciples. In. chapel, we sing
the message, pray the message, and
preach the message. As we go' out
from chapel, we live the message
and proclaim the message."
Kinchen is in his 24th year as
president of The Baptist College of
Florida. Under his leadership, BCF
continues to expand programs, pre-
pare and equip leaders, while in-
corporating innovative and cutting-
edge delivery options for training


the next generation. Last year, BCF
added a second graduate degree
and experienced significant growth
in the bachelor's degree in missions
with a concentration in aviation.
The faculty and staff at BCF remain
committed to preparing men and
women for areas of ministry, service,
and leadership.
The presidential sermon will be
broadcast live on WFBU 94.7, BCF's
LP-FM radio station, accessible on
the website at www.wfbu.com.

Florida students, disaster relief



volunteers rebuild homes in NY


Special to the Floridan

Although not wrapped in festive
paper and bright ribbon, it was a
Christmas gift wrapped in God's love,
given by seven students from The
Baptist College of Florida to those in
desperate need in NewYork.
While many college students were
looking forward to a relaxing Christ-
mas break from their studies, seven
students from The Baptist College
of Florida volunteered as disaster
relief volunteers, traveling to Staten
Island, N.Y, to help rebuild homes
catastrophically damaged by Hurri-
cane Sandy more than a year ago.
Accompanied by David Coggins,
associate professor of leadership at
the college, along with eight other
adult disaster relief volunteers, the
group went into homes still deemed
unlivable because of the devastation
left in the wake of the deadliest and
most destructive storm of the 2012
Atlantic hurricane season.
There, one team of students erected
stud walls in a basement apartment
for an elderly woman who lives with
her daughter, while another team
installed insulation and flooring in
a home with no floors. All the while,
they built relationships with the
homeowners and shared their faith
as opportunities arose to do so.
"In providing help, we provide
spiritual hope," said Coggins, who
has led two other student groups to
minister through disaster relief in
NewYork.
Helping people rediscover hope in
the midst of disaster is an opportune
time to share the Gospel, according
to Marvin Corbin, Florida Baptist
field missionary/logistics.
"By providing help in the aftermath
of a disaster, we are showing God's
love. When is there a better time to
share God's word than when you
are showing God's love?" he said.
The student trip to New York was
a response to a two-year disaster re-
lief commitment made by the SBC
North American Mission Board to
help rebuild homes on Staten Island
and Long Island, explained Corbin.
The Florida Baptist Convention
partnered in the collegiate team ef-
fort by covering fuel costs to and
from Staten Island, helping en-
list the eight adult volunteers and

providing necessary training, Corbin
said.
On each disaster relief trip he
has helped lead, Coggins has had a
front-row seat to seeing lives
changed, including the lives of stu-
dents as well as the lives of those to
whom they are ministering.
As the Gospel is shared numer-
ous times on each trip, those on the
receiving end of the disaster relief
efforts often make professions of
faith.
Sometimes opportunities to share
the Gospel arise even outside the
scope of the disaster relief efforts.
On the December trip to Staten Is-
land, as the group stopped at a fast-
food restaurant in Virginia en route,
one student shared the Gospel with
a young person eating by himself.
"Although he did not accept
Christ there, the Gospel was shared
and the seed was planted for may-
be somebody else to nurture it and
for him to make that life decision,"
said Gabriel Zavala, one of the stu-
dent disaster relief volunteers who
ministered in NewYork.
The Puerto Rico native, who has
been in the United States 'for four
years, acknowledged the positive
impact he experienced as a result of
his serving in NewYork.


"This experience definitely
changed my life, burning within me
a deeper and more mature passion
for helping people in need. This trip
fueled my heart for others," said the
ministry studies student.
Time and again, Coggins sees stu-
dents discover that they "can be in-
volved in disaster relief now, stand-
ing along with and working with
those who are serving now."
Many seasoned disaster relief
volunteers are re-energized when
working alongside students.
"My faith was renewed as I ob-
served the hard work and great at-
titude of these college students.
They were eager to work each day,
and they never complained. It was
refreshing to work alongside them,"
said Kaye Dickerson, a member of
Pensacola's Hillcrest Baptist Church
and one of the adult team members
to accompany the student group.
As the seven student volunteers
have returned to campus and their
collegiate routines, Coggins' hope
is that the New York experience
will be etched on their hearts and
minds. "I don't want students to see
disaster relief as a one-time or just
short-term experience, but a life-
style of responding when others are
in need."


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Charles Scicluna, former Vatican chief prosecutor of clerical
sexual abuse, waits Thursday in Geneva, Switzerland, for the
start of questioning over clerical sexual abuse of children.


Vatican comes under more

criticism over sexual abuse


The Associated Press.

GENEVA- It resembled
a courtroom cross-exami-
nation, except no ques-
tion was off-limits, dodg-
ing the answer wasn't an
option and the proceed-
ings were webcast live.
After decades of accu-
sations that its culture of
secrecy contributed to
priest sex abuse, the Vati-
can was forced for the first
time Thursday to defend
its record in public and at
length.
In a stuffy U.N. con-
ference room before an
obscure human rights
committee, the Holy See
was interrogated for eight
hours about the scale of
abuse and what it was do-
ing to prevent it.
The Vatican was com-
pelled to appear before
the committee as a signa-
tory to the U.N. Conven-
tion for the Rights of the
Child, which requires gov-
ernments to take all ade-
quate measures to protect
children from harm and
ensure their interests are
placed above all else.
. The Holy See was one.
of the first states to ratify
the treaty in 1990, eager
to contribute the church's
experience in caring
for children in Catholic
schools, hospitals, or-
phanages and refugee
centers. It submitted a
first implementation


report in 1994, but didn't
provide progress assess-
ments for nearly two de-
cades, until 2012.
By then, the clerical sex
abuse scandal had ex-
ploded around the world.
Thousands of priests
were accused of raping
and molesting thousands
of children over decades,
while their bishops
moved them from parish
to parish rather than re-
port them to police. Crit-
ics allege the Holy See,
the central government
of the 1.2-billion strong
Catholic Church, con-
tributed to the problem
by encouraging a culture
of secrecy to protect the
church's reputation at the
expense of victims.
"How can we address
this whole systematic
policy of silencing of
victims?" asked com-
mittee member Benyam
Mezmur, an Ethiopian
academic. "There are
two principles that I see
are being undermined in
a number of instances,
namely transparency and
accountability."
Monsignor Charles Sci-
cluna, the Vatican's .for-
mer sex crimes prosecu-
tor, replied: "I am with you
when you say that all of
these nice words will not
mean anything ... if there
is not more transparency
and accountability on the
local level."

Insurance commissioner says rates are falling


The Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE Homeowner
insurance rates are finally coming
down in Florida nearly a decade af-
ter the last hurricane hit, the state's
insurance commissioner says.
But the upbeat report by Insiur-
ance Commissioner Kevin McCarty
also shows that some of the state's
larger insurers have asked for and
received rate hikes. The report
also did not include the state-cre-
ated Citizens Property Insurance,
which has been steadily raising its
rates for several years.
The report was done at the urg-
ing of Chief Financial Officer Jeff
Atwater, who wanted to know why
homeowner rates have not come
down even though the largest ex-
pense for insurance companies
- reinsurance has been coming
down.
A national report released in De-
cember found that Floridians are
paying the highest homeowner
insurance rates in the nation. The
report from the National Associa-
tion of Insurance Commissioners


concluded that the average premi-
um for most Florida homeowners
is $1,933 a year, or nearly twice the
national average of $978.
McCarty's report said that the
overall trends show rates going
down and that the market is "more
robust and competitive" than it has
been previously. Florida's insurance
market has been volatile ever since
Hurricane Andrew tore into the
state in 1992 and rates skyrocketed
after eight hurricanes hit the state in
2004 and 2005.
"There is reason to be optimistic
that the Florida homeowners mar-
ket is steadily improving," McCarty
wrote.
The national report was based on
2011 rates, while McCarty's report
uses more recent information. But
McCarty's report is only partially
complete: Data was provided by
only half of 30 insurance companies
that represent 70 percent of the in-
surance market. However, among
the 15 insurers providing data, six
had filed for rate decreases ranging
from 2.4 percent to 9.2 percent.
However, two of the state's larger


insurers, State FarnA Florida and
Castle Key, have either asked for or
received approval for rate hikes.
The report also did not include
Citizens, which has more than 1I mil-
lion policyholders and represents
about 20 percent of the insurance
market. Citizens has been raising
rates because it covers homes, in-
cluding those along the coast, that
private insurers have been reluctant
to insure. State law caps how much
Citizens can raise its rates each
year.
The report also said many insur-
ers were seeing declines in their
own costs for reinsurance. Reinsur-
ance is the backup coverage an in-
surer purchases to make sure it can
pay claims in the event of a major
catastrophe like a hurricane. Rising
reinsurance costs has been blamed
for past price spikes.
McCarty noted that while reinsur-
ance is a "significant factor" in rates,
other types of losses could also im-
pact rates. He also stated that a "10
percent decrease ir reinsurance
costs does not translate into a 10
percent decrease in total rates."

College grad rates
called unacceptable
FORT MYERS Gradu-
ation rates at some Flor-
ida universities are being
called unacceptable.
The new chairman of
the Florida Board of Gov-
ernors on Thursday criti-
cized the graduation rates
at both Florida A&M Uni-


versity in Tallahassee and
Florida Atlantic University
in Boca Raton. FAMU's
six-year graduation rate
is 39 percent, while FAU's
rate is 40 percent. The rate
is 86 percent at University
of Florida.
Mori Hosseini also
pointed that only 42 per-
cent of all students gradu-
ate within four years.
The Board of Governors
oversees the state univer-
sity system.
Hosseini, who gave
a "State of the System"
speech, wants university
trustees across the state
to do a "stress test" of
each university. Hos-
seini says each university
needs to review every
program and every degree
to see if students graduate
on time and get jobs.

Bill approved to
increase speed limits
TALLAHASSEE --Flor-
ida drivers could soon be
allowed to push the pedal
to the metal a little bit
more.
The Senate Transporta-
tion Committee approved
a bill Thursday that would
allow the Florida Depart-
ment of Transportation
to raise speed limits five
miles per hour.
The bill doesn't man-
date an increase, but only
gives the transportation
department the ability to
raise limits on a case-by-


case basis on a particular
roadway.
Current maximums
are 70 miles per hour on
limited-access highways,
65 on four-lane highways
outside urban areas and
60 on other roads the
department manages.
The bill also grants the
transportation depart-
ment the authority to set
minimum speed limits.

LOCAL ICE CREAM MAKERS


ADDRESS OPTIMIST CLUB


SUBMITTED PHOTO
indy and Dale Eade, owners and operators of Cindale Dairy
Farms near Marianna, were recently welcomed as guest

the areas he focuses on as he as-
sists his family
He consistently sends medical
supplies, food and cash to his 68-
year-old cousin, Mirta Jimenez
Villavicencio, and her family, and
he gives over-the-counter medi-
cations and other supplies to
pharmacies in communities near
her. A package he sent recently
will keep his cousin and her fam-
ily well-supplied for about six
months.
And he was able to do some-
thing extra special for his cousin
when, under leadership changes,
the Cuban government started
allowing its citizens to leave the
country and visit other places
after decades with no significant
movement allowed.
Villavicencio and her hus-
band, Jose Manuel Bermudez de
la Nuez, applied for permission
from the United States to visit
here in 2013. At first, both were
denied entry, but Trejo didn't take
no for an answer. He went to a
U.S. senator, asking him to ap-
ply a little pressure in the right
places.
The next time they applied, Vil-
lavicenio was approved to visit.
Her husband, however, was not
allowed.
Based on what Trejo has learned
in the process of getting his aunt
here for a visit, Trejo said he be-
lieves the U.S. government is try-
ing to prevent an influx of Cuban
citizens who might come for a
visit and want to stay permanent-
ly once they get here. Fearing that
they will become a burden on the
resources of the nation as they
arrive without jobs and incomes,
Trejo said, the U.S. carefully
screens the requests to visit. Giv-
ing permission to one member
of a family and not the other, he
thinks, is a strategy the country
uses to prevent mass migration.
His cousin, he said, has no de-
sire to stay because most of her
family is still in Cuba. But the
stateside visit that started in mid-
December has been a good one
so far and one she's not likely to
forget when she returns home in
a few days.
With Trejo acting as her trans-
lator, Villavicenio said Thursday


Giving
From Page 1A
Thinking about all this,
Mills decided to throw
herself a "giving party,"
where all her guests would
give something to the two
causes instead of buying
her a gift.
Her children had been
secretly planning a sur-
prise party for her, and
when theylearned of those
plans they had to regroup,
get on board with her idea
and pitch in.
And so, on Saturday, that
party took place in a big
way, as 138 people showed
up with their arms full
of canned goods and dry
pantry items, clothes,
cleaning products and
other items for Chipola
Family Ministries. They
brought checks and cash
for the scholarship fund,
and some earmarked their
donations to a third cause:
the pantry that Mills keeps
stocked with supplies she
uses when she cooks for
the sick and shut-in resi-
dents of her community.
Together, her friends
donated $872 to the schol-
arship fund, gave $450
to stock her pantry, and

stage. All six kids and three adults
who were inside managed to
escape.
But Gertrude Pete did not.
She, her daughter Cynthia, her
mother-in-law, Ruth Elise Pete,
and her mother Sarah Johnson,
all died in the fire.
Younger adults in the family
stepped up to help the children
pick up the pieces of their lives,
and the community stepped in
to help the grieving survivors
in a big way, Rodell Pete said
Thursday.

Marianna, a salon owned by a family member, Desiree Baggett.


that she was grateful to her own
country for allowing her come
here. Because that permission
was granted, she's been able to
see her sister for the first time
in 20 years. With her sibling in
fragile health now, Villavicencio
was touched by the experience
of reconnecting with her at the
age of 64. She's also getting to
know some of the younger fam-
ily members. On Thursday, for
instance, Trejo's daughter Desiree
Baggett gave her a makeover at A
Wild Hair, the salon Baggett owns
in Marianna.
Pampered with a new hair-
cut and color, a manicure and a
pedicure, Villavicencio marveled
that a private citizen could own a
business. In Cuba, all commerce
is controlled by the government.
People who are entrepreneurs
here would simply be govern-
ment employees if they lived in
Cuba.
Villavicencio browsed the cloth-
ing and other goods she found at
A Wild Hair as she waited for her
makeover to begin. She giggled
with Rosela as they sat with foil
spikes in their hair. Good haircol-
or is hard to come by in Cuba, she
said. She plans to stock up while
she's here.
Villavicencio also is fascinated
by some of the technological ad-


vances that she's never seen in
her country. Things like modern
cars with automatic windows,
and refrigerators with icemak-
ers and in-door water dispensers
thrill her. She's amazed to see fully
loaded tractor trailer rigs traveling
the highways; delivering goods to
privately held businesses across
the nation.
According to Trejo, most cars
in Cuba are ancient, and even
those are rare sights on the Na-
tional Highway. The movement
of goods is strictly regulated in
Cuba, and all is ultimately under
the government's tight control as
the country does not have a free
market economy.
Workers in Cuba are paid by the
government at an average rate
of $10 a month, translated into
American currency, according to
Trejo.
Each individual in a household
is allotted a certain supply of food
every month by the government
but must pay for that out of the
wages they earn working for the
government. Villavicencio gets
six pounds of rice, one chicken
leg and thigh, a half-pound of
beans and five eggs.
Socialized medical care and ed-
ucation produces many medical
providers in the country; some
hotels have their own nurses. But


specialist care is hard to come by,
and things like aspirin are treated
like gold when Trejo. and others
bring it in with the consent and
encouragement of the govern-
ment there. The cash he brings
is welcomed by the government,
too, and all foreign money is ex-
changed for a. Cuba conversion
peso, valued at hot quite a dol-
lar for dollar rate, but at far more
than the worth of the common
Cuban peso. Translated, it's worth
about 25 cents on the dollar.
While she's here, Trejo is mak-
ing sure that Villavicencio gets
good meals, picks up some sup-
plies she can use at home and
sees the culture of the country
That's where Marianna comes in.
When she's with Rosela in Miami,
Trejo said, most of thepeople she
encounters are older expatriate
Cubans who still carry out many,
of the traditions and ways of their
homeland.
In Marianna, she's being ex-
posed. to a different sort of per-
son and a younger generation, he
said. He hopes that her husband
will be able to join her on a fu-
ture visit. That's one of the only
things she regrets about being
here; she's away from someone
she loves deeply. Looking back on
his childhood, Trejo can imagine
how she feels.

Official: Egyptian voters have backed new charter


The Associated Press

CAIRO An overwhelming
majority of Egyptians who voted
on the country's new constitu-
tion backed the draft charter,
a senior Egyptian official said
Thursday, despite criticism from
an international monitoring
group of a clampdown on free
speech ahead of the election.
The election official told The
Associated Press that unofficial
results after most of the ballots
had been counted indicated
that more than 90 percent voted
"yes" on the constitution. He
declined to give an estimate on
the final turnout and spoke on
condition of anonymity because
he is not authorized to talk to
journalists.
The interim government is
looking not only for a strong
"yes" majority but also a large
turnout to win undisputed le-
gitirnacy and perhaps a popular

Egypt, on Wednesday.


mandate for the military chief,
Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, to run
for president later this year.
An incomplete estimate pub-
lished by the state news agency
MENA showed a turnout of
about 40 percent in Cairo and


Alexandria, both higher than in
the 2012 referendum on the Is-
lamist-backed constitution.
In the western border prov-
ince of Masra Matrouh, which
has a sizeable constituency of
Islamists, turnout was the low-


in Egypt's second largest city, est, with only 20 percent of


voters showing up, in compari-
son to 36.5 percent participation
in 2012.
In the southern province of As-
siut, considered a stronghold of
Islamists but with a large Chris-
tian population, participation
was slightly less than in 2012,
dropping from 28 percent to 25
percent.
The Election Commission said
results will be announced Satur-
day evening.
The vote held Tuesday and
Wednesday was a milestone for
Egypt's interim government, in-
stalled by the military after a July
coup toppled Islamist President
Mohammed Morsi following
mass protests demanding that
he step down.
Many considered the vote as
key to restoring stability and
supporting the current govern-
ment in the face of continued
opposition and protests from
Morsi supporters.


But on Thursday, students ral-
lied outside the campus of the
University of Cairo and fought
with security forces. Police fired
tear gas, pushing the students
back and later arrested 23, au-
thorities said.
An. Interior Ministry statement
said it later deployed forces to
clear clashes on campus be-
tween pro- and anti-Morsi stu-
dents, and that one student
was shot and killed. It was not
immediately clear who shot the
student.
The draft constitution is a
heavily amended version of a
charter .written by Morsi's Is-
lamist allies and ratified in
December 2012 with some 64
percent of the vote but with a na-
tionwide turnout of just over 30
percent. Morsi's Muslim Broth-
erhood group and other Islamist
groups boycotted the referen-
dum, calling it "illegitimate" and
vowing to keep up protests.

Senate passes $1.1 trillion spending bill


The Associated Press

WASHINGTON Congress sent Presi-
dent Barack Obama a $1.1 trillion govern-
ment-wide spending billThursday, easing
the harshest effects of last year's auto-
matic budget cuts after tea party critics
chastened by October's partial shutdown
mounted only a faint protest.
The Senate voted 72-26 for the mea-
sure, which cleared the House a little
more than 24 hours earlier on a similarly
lopsided vote. Obama's signature on the
bill was expected inr time to prevent any
interruption in government funding Sat-
urday at midnight.
The huge bill funds every agency of gov-
ernmnent, pairing increases for NASA and
Army Corps of Engineers construction
projects with cuts to the Internal Revenue
Service and foreign aid. It pays for imple-
mentation of Obama's health care law; a
fight over implementing "Obamacare"
sparked tea party Republicans to partially
shut the government down for 16 days
last October.
Also included is funding for tighter reg-
ulations on financial markets, but at lev-
els lower than the president wanted.
The compromise-laden legislation re-
flects the realities of divided power in
Washington and a desire by both Demo-
crats and Republicans for an election-
year respite after three years of budget
wars that had Congress and the White


House lurching from crisis to crisis. Both
parties looked upon the measure as a way
to ease automatic spending cuts that both
the Pentagon and domestic agencies had
to begin absorbing last year.
All 53 Democrats, two independents
and 17 Republicans voted for the bill.
The 26 votes against it were all cast by
Republicans.
Shortly before the final vote, Sen. Ted
Cruz, R-Texas, delivered a slashing at-
tack on Senate Democrats, accusing
them of ignoring the problems caused
by the health care law. "It is abundantly
clear that millions of Americans are being
harmed right now by this failed law," Cruz
said.
The 1582-page bill was really 12 bills
wrapped into one in negotiations head-
ed by Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky.,. and
Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., respec-
tive chairmen of the House and Senate
Appropriations committees, and their
subcommittee lieutenants. They spent
weeks hashing out line-by-line details.of
a broad two-year budget accord passed in
December, the first since 2009.
The bill, which cleared the House on
a vote of 359-67, increases spending by
about $26 billion over fiscal 2013, with
most of the increase going to domestic
programs. Almost $9 billion in unrequest-
ed money for overseas military and diplo-
matic operations helps ease shortfalls in
the Pentagon and foreign aid budgets.

Campfire embers spark wildfire
in hills near LA
GLENDORA, Calif. Campfire embers
fanned by gusty winds blew up Thursday
into a fast-moving wildfire that forced
nearly 2,000 people from their homes
in the dangerously dry foothills of the
San Gabriel Mountains and threatened
some densely populated suburbs of Los
Angeles.
The blaze draped smoke across the LA
basin all the way to the coast, and rained
ash on Glendora.
"We're underneath a giant cloud of
smoke," said Jonathan Lambert, general
manager of Classic Coffee. "It's throwing
quite the eerie shadow."
Three men in their 20s were arrested
on suspicion of recklessly starting the
blaze by tossing paper into a campfire in
the Angeles National Forest, just north
of Glendora. The forest was under "very
high" fire danger restrictions, which bar
campfires anywhere except in fire rings
in designated campgrounds.
There are no designated campgrounds
where the fire began, U.S. Forest Service
spokeswoman L'Tanga Watson said.
By late afternoon, the flames had
charred at least 2V2 square miles of dry
brush in a wilderness area and destroyed
two homes.
At least 10 renters were left home-
less when the fire destroyed two guest
units on the historic grounds of a retreat
that once was the summer estate of the
Singer sewing machine family. Statues of
Jesus and Mary stood unharmed near the
blackened ruins.
Whipped by Santa Ana winds, the
fire quickly spread into neighborhoods
where residents were awakened before
_Jdawn and ordered to leave.


Kerry urges opposition
to attend Syrian conference
WASHINGTON Secretary of State
John Kerry urged the Syrian opposition
on Thursday to attend next week's peace
conference in Switzerland and said any
individual chosen to lead a political tran-
sition in the war-torn country must be
acceptable to both the government and
opposing forces.
The opposition groups, which will
vote Friday whether to attend the peace
conference, say it should lead to a
transitional government that would see
Syrian President Bashar Assad step down
and end four decades of his family's rule
in Syria. The government rejects the
demand.
Speaking to reporters at the State
Department, Kerry also pushed back
against the Syrian government, which
has long said that the conference should
focus on fighting terrorism. Kerry said
the Syrian government is to blame for in-
stability in the country that had attracted
extremists from around the world.
"We too are deeply concerned about
the rise of extremism," Kerry said. "The
world needs no reminder that Syria has
become the magnet for jihadists and
extremists. It is the strongest magnet for
terror of any place today. So it defies logic
to imagine that those whose brutality
created this magnet, how they could ever
lead Syria away from extremism and to-
wards a better future is beyond any kind
of logic or common sense."
Kerry said the aim of the conference,
which begins Wednesday in Montreux,
is to establish a process needed to form
by mutual consent a transitional govern-
mental body with full executive powers.
From wire reports


The Associated Press

LUCASVILLE, Ohio
- A condemned man
appeared to gasp several
.times and took an un-
usually long time to die
- almost 25 minutes in
an execution carried out
Thursday with a combina-
tion of drugs never before
tried in the U.S.
Dennis McGuire's attor-
ney Allen Bohnert called
the convicted killer's
death "a failed, agonizing
experiment" and added:
"The people of the state of
Ohio should be appalled
at what was done here to-
day in their names."
An attorney for Mc-
Guire's family said it plans
to sue the state over what
happened. Dayton de-
fense lawyer Jon Paul Rion
said the family is deeply
disturbed by the execu-
tion, which it believes
violated his-constitutional
rights.
McGuire's lawyers had
attempted last week to
block his execution, argu-


ing that the untried meth-
od could lead to a medical
phenomenon known as
air hunger and cause him
to suffer "agony and ter-
ror" while struggling to
catch his breath.
McGuire, 53, made loud
snorting noises during
one of the longest execu-
tions since Ohio resumed
capital punishment in
1999. Nearly 25 minutes
passed between the time
the lethal drugs began
flowing and McGuire was
pronounced dead at 10:53
a.m.
Executions under the
old method were typically
much shorter and did not
cause the kind of sounds
McGuire made.
Prison officials gave in-
travenous doses of two
drugs, the sedative mid-
azolam and the painkiller
hydromorphone, to put
McGuire to death for the
1989 rape and fatal stab-
bing of a pregnant newly-
wed, Joy Stewart.
The method was ad-
opted after supplies of a


previouslyused drug dried
up because the manufac-
turer declared it off limits
for capital punishment.
The execution could
launch lawsuits over
the injection procedure.

Indians host Raiders in heavyweight dash


BY DUSTIN KENT

The first outing as the nation's
top-ranked JUCO team couldn't
have gone much worse for the
Chipola Indians.
They'll try to make a better go
of it Saturday night when they
host the No. 8 Northwest Flor-
ida State Raiders in a matchup
of the two top-ranked teams in
Florida.
Chipola (16-2 overall, 2-1 in
the Panhandle Conference)
was throttled by the Tallahassee
Eagles 80-59 on Tuesday the
same day the Indians asGended


to No. 1 in the NJCAA poll get-
ting ambushed from the jump by
a TCC team that came in 0-3 and
desperate for its first Panhandle
Conference win.
"It was a game where one team
was playing with a sense of ur-
gency and another team just
couldn't get out of their own
way," Indians coach Patrick Blake
said Thursday. "They did a great
job of taking control of the game
early, and I was disappointing
with our fight and our lack of re-
sponse for the entire game."
Chipola trailed by 20 at half-
time and never made a seri-
ous dent in the TCC lead in the


second half.
The Indians shot just 38 per-
cent for the game, including 4-
of-26 from the three-point line,
with Blake noting that his team's
poor shot selection has been an
ongoing issue all season.
"It's been the biggest focus in
practice for awhile. Unfortunate-
ly, maybe it takes a loss like that
to wake our guys up," the coach
said. "It was a bad loss. We didn't
play well at all. It's one of those
things we have to learn from, but
we've moved on quickly and our
focus now is on playing a really

Bulldogs try


to win district
BY DUSTIN KENT
dkent@jcfloridan.com

The Marianna Bulldogs wiV look to clinch the
top seed in the District 1 tournament tonight
when they play host to the Walton Braves at 7
p.m.
Marianna (17-0 overall, 4-0 in district) won
the first matchup with Walton 54-39 on Jan. 16
and the Braves have yet to win a district game
(0-3).
But Bulldogs coach Travis Blanton said that he
is taking nothing for granted in this series, espe-
cially after seeing Walton knock his team out of
the district tournament last year after Marianna
swept the regular season series.
"Last year, we beat them by seven and 12
(points) and they ended up beating us in dis-
trict, and you never feel good about facing
a team that. shoots it the way 'that they do,"
he said. "They're shooting the ball extremely
well and playing with an extra bit of energy
defensively and -with a little bounce in their
step and that concerns me. We'll have to play
well.
"I think they're much improved. They're a bet-
ter shooting team, a better ball handling team,
a better defensive and rebounding team. It's all
the important qualities that they've improved
in and that's concerning."
The Bulldogs .have also been an improved
team since the first meeting, with a one-point
road win over Pensacola Catholic on Dec. 13 the

Chipola battles NWF for Panhandle supremacy


BY DUSTIN KENT

The last two unbeaten teams in
the Panhandle Conference will face
off Saturday night when the No. 13
Northwest Florida State Lady Raid-
ers'come to Marianna to take on the
No. 4 Chipola Lady Indians at 5:30
p.m.
Chipola (19-1) and Northwest
Florida State (16-2) both come in
at 3-0 in Panhandle play, with the
Lady Raiders knocking off TCC, Pen-


sacola State, and Gulf Coast State by
an average margin of 17.7 points per
game, and the Lady Indians winning
over Pensacola State, Gulf Coast
State, and TCC by an average margin
of 11.3 points per game.
The Lady Indians have won eight
straight overall since suffering their
first loss of. the season against St.
Petersburg on Dec. 7 and have often
looked dominant in doing so.
But in Northwest Florida State,
Chipola faces a team that is also on
an eight-game win streak and also


has the look of a true national title
contender.
"This is a really good basketball
team," Lady Indians coach Greg
Franklin said of the Lady Raiders.
"They have a great guard in Simone
Westbrook who is scoring at a high
rate and we're definitely paying at-
tention to that, but they also have
some ready shooters and ready
scorers like (Carla) Batchelor and

The Malone Lady Tigers took their third
straight victory Thursday afternoon in
Panama City knocking off the Arnold Lady
Marlins 58-30.
Curteeona Brelove scored 25 points to
lead the Lady Tigers, who improved to 12-7
on the year, while Angelica Livingston and
Alicia Jackson added eight points each, and
Brianna Dallas had seven.
Malone dominated from the outset, scor-
ing the-first nine points of the game and
taking a 23-11 lead into the halftime break.
The margin was extended to 22 in the


third quarter and the Lady Tigers coasted
in the fourth with coach Preston Roberts s
ubstituting freely.
"We got out to a good start and the girls
played pretty good," the coach said. "It was
a tough game because it was at 3 p.m. and
there was nobody really in the gym and
(Arnold) is struggling, so it's hard to get the
girls up for that but they came out with the
intensity they needed. I said we needed to
come out and play hard and we did that."
Malone will next play Blountstown on
Monday at home at 5 p.m. before going
on the road to face Marianna on Tuesday
and finishing the week Thursday at home
against Sneads. L

Auburn's Malzahn

wins Bryant Award

wins Bryant Award


The Associated Press

HOUSTON Gus Mal-
zahn knows all about
Bear Bryant, so this award
meant a whole lot to the
Auburn coach.
Malzahn is the Paul
"Bear" Bryant College
Coach of the Year after
leading a remarkable turn-
around in his first season
in charge of the Tigers,
who went to the national
title game a year after they
went 3-9.
Malzahn, who like Bry-
ant is from Arkansas, said
Wednesday night he was
honored to be associated
with an award with the
name of the fabled former
Alabama coach.
"When you're growing
up he's the man," Malzahn
said. "The fact that I'm
from the state of Arkansas
and he's from Fordyce, Ar-
kansas and one of my best
friends is coaching high
school there makes it even
that much more special."
Auburn came up just
short in the national cham-
pionship, with Florida
State scoring a touchdown
with 13 seconds left to pick
up a 34-31 win.
"We're still hurting over
the fact that we were close
to winning the national
championship and got
beat," Malzahn said. "But
if you can remove yourself
from that it was a lot of fun,
our players came a long
way, they improved each

week and we were 13 sec-
onds away from being the
national champion."
Malzahn beat out Bay-
lor's Art Briles, David Bai-
liff of Rice, Michigan State's
Mark Dantonio and David
Shaw of Stanford for the
honor.
The Tigers, who were
winless in Southeastern
Conference play in 2012,
reeled off nine straight vic-
tories after a loss to LSU on


Sept. 21 to gain a spot in
the title game this season.
They were the talk of col-
lege football when they re-
turned a missed field goal
109 yards for a last-second
score to beat then-top-
ranked Alabama on Nov.
30.
Malzahn knew his team
was talented, but even he
was amazed at what Au-
burn was able to do this
season.


Spurrier gets




extension, raise


The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. South Carolina's
Steve Spurrier has received a one-
year contract extension and a raise
that will pay the coach $4 million
annually.
The university board of trustees ap-
proved a $700,000 raise and the exten-
sion Thursday. The deal ties Spurrier to
the school through 2018. If the 68-year-
old coach decides to retire, the trustees
voted for a contract clause that krould
make Spurrier a special assistant to uni-
versity President Harris Pastides and
athletic director Ray Tanner.
With the raise, Spurrier becomes one
of the top 10 highest-paid college foot-
ball coaches in the country.
Spurrier's nine assistant coaches also
received raises that put their com-
bined compensation at $3.3 million,
up from the $2.7 the group earned this


past season.
All assistants were given new two-year
contract agreements except for defen-
sive coordinator Lorenzo Ward, who re-
ceived a three-year deal. Also earning a
raise was quarterbacks coach G.A. Man-
gus, whose salary was frozen for a year
after his arrest for urinating in public.
Mangus' salary increased $100,000 to
$275,000.
Ward will be the highest-paid assistant
at $750,000, a $100,000 raise. The big-
gest boost came for offensive line coach
Shawn Elliott, who saw his compensa-
tion rise from $305,000 to $430,000 next
fall.
Spurrier thanked Pastides, Tanner and
the board for the new contracts and
raises.
"We all hope to coach here many
more years and we still have some goals
that have not been accomplished yet,"
he said.


South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier watches from the sideline during the game against
Arkansas in Fayetteville, Ark., on Oct.12. Spurrier has received a one-year contract extension
and a raise that will pay the coach $4 million annually.


Pruitt says he waited 11 years for


The Associated Press

ATHENS, Ga. Jeremy
Pruitt said Wednesday he
didn't have to think twice
about leaving Florida State
after he found out Geor-
gia coach Mark Richt was
looking for a new defen-
sive coordinator;
Pruitt said he first met
Richt 11 years ago when as
a high school coach in Fort
Payne, Ala., he brought
recruits to Georgia. Pruitt,
who coached under his
father, Dale Pruitt, at Fort
Payne, said he was im-
pressed by the 2003 meet-
ing with Richt.
"It was the first time I
ever met him and.when I


walked out of that room
30 minutes later I was
wowed," Jeremy Pruitt said.
"My father looked at me
and said 'That's what col-
lege football is all about.' I
said right then and there if
I ever had an opportunity
to work for him, I wanted
to be a part of his staff."
The opportunity came
Sunday, when defen-
sive coordinator Todd
Grantham left Georgia
for a similar position at
Louisville. Only two days
later, Richt on Tuesday
hired Pruitt as Grantham's
successor.

Clemson DE Beasley


to stay in school


The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. -
Clemson defensive end
Vic Beasley wants one
more season with the
Tigers.
The Atlantic Coast Con-
ference leaderwith 13 sacks
this season has decided to
postpone a shot at the NFL
and play his senior season
at Clemson. The school
announced Beasley's deci-
sion Wednesday.
When asked what Beas-
ley's choice meant for the
Tigers in 2014, coach Dabo
jSwinney texted back, "Lot


of sacks."
The announcement also
means one of the best de-
fensive lines in the country
stays together for one last
season. Th'e Tigers led the
Football Bowl Subdivision
in tackles for loss, and de-
fensive tackle Grady Jarrett
and defensive end Corey
Crawford also decided to
return.
But Beasley was the
group's dynamic star, and
he stretched out his deci-
sion to the final few hours
before the deadline for
eligible underclassmen to
declare for the NFL draft.


Arkansas State player killed in shooting


The Associated Press

An Arkansas State foot-
ball player and his step-
father were shot to death
during a home invasion
robbery in Jackson, Tenn.,
with the athlete apparently
trying to protect his par-
ents from their attackers,
police said Thursday.
Markel Owens, a 21-year-
old junior defensive line-
man for the Red Wolves,
was fatally shot along with
Johnny Shivers, 36, during
the robbery at a duplex on
Wednesday night. Shivers


died at the scene, while
Owens was pronounced
dead after being taken to
Jackson-Madison County
General Hospital.
A 37-year-old woman,
who was Shivers' wife and
Owens' mother, was also
shot. She was treated and
released from the hospi-
tal. Her name was not re-
leased, but Owens' mother
is listed as Chermaine Ow-
ens in the Arkansas State
media guide. '

that he was protecting his
mother and stepfather,"

Jackson police spokes-

the Red Wolves.
"We're deeply saddened
and our utmost sympa-

athletic director Terry Mo-
hajir said in a statement.
"Please join me in prayer

Investigators say Shivers
was arriving home when he
was rushed by two masked
men and forced inside the
apartment, where Owens
and his mother were. The
suspects demanded money
and a struggle began, with
Owens attempting to help
Shivers by fighting one of
the men, police said.
Shivers "and Owens were
both shot during the strug-
gle and one of the gunmen
then shot the woman. The
suspects got away with
a large amount of cash,
police said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE
Tampa Bay pitcher David Price delivers against the Boston Red Sox during Game 2 of the
American League Division Series in Boston on Oct. 5.


Price, Rays agree to $14


million, 1-year contract


The Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG-Now
that Tampa Bay's David
Price is slated to earn the
biggest single-season sal-
ary in Rays history, the
three-time All-Star hopes
he remains part of the
budget-minded franchise's
plans for 2014.
The team announced
Thursday that the 2012 AL
Cy Young Award winner
agreed to a $14 million,
one-year deal. However,
the agreement doesn't
eliminate the possibility of
a trade.
"I still have the mind-
set moving forward that I
want to be with the Rays,"
said Price, who at the end
of last season seemed re-
signed to the fact that he'd
probably be dealt during
the offseason.
The 28-year-old has been
the subject of trade specu-
lation after going 10-8 with
a 3.33 ERA last year while
earning $10,112,500. He
is eligible for free agency


after the 2015 season, and
the Rays likely won't be in a
position to pay the type of
money Price could earn on
the open market.
If he's traded, Price be-
lieves it wouldn't be before
Japanese pitcher Masahiro
Tanaka decides where to
sign. Teams have until Jan.
24 to reach an agreement
with Tanaka, a 25-year-
old right-hander who was
24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last
year for the Japan Series
champion Rakuten Golden
Eagles.
Price believes the Rays,
who've made the playoffs
four of the past six seasons,
could have one of the best
teams again in 2014.
"I want to be part of it. I
think we're going to have a
really good season," Price
stressed, adding a trade
after the start of spring
training likely would leave
a "bad taste" in the mouths
of teammates who'd also
like to see him remain with
the Rays.
Price's 2013 season was


interrupted by his first stint
on the disabled list, caused
by a strained triceps. He
went 9-4 with a 2.53 ERA,
102 strikeouts and just
13 walks in 18 starts after
coming off the DL on July
2, spurring the Rays' drive
for a playoff berth.
The No. 1 overall pick in
the 2007 amateur draft is
71-39 over parts of six sea-
sons and is Tampa Bay's
career leader in ERA (3.19)
and winning percentage
(.645).
Price became the fran-
chise's first 20-game win-
ner in 2012, when he edged
Detroit's Justin Verlander
in AL Cy Young balloting.
He was a 19-game winner
in 2010, his first full season
in the majors.
The left-hander's sal-
ary for 2014 will account
for a significant portion
of a projected payroll of
about $72 million. Carlos
Pena earned $10.25 mil-
lion in 2010, the previ-
ous season high for the
Rays.


Rodriguez says year-long


suspension could be benefit


The Associated Press

MEXICO CITY Alex Rodriguez says
his season-long suspension could be a
benefit, allowing him to rest and return
to the Yankees for the final three years of
his contract.
Speaking late Wednesday in Mexico's
capital during a promotional appear-
ance, Rodriguez declined to talk specifi-
cally about his suspension for violating
baseball's drug agreement and labor
contract.
Rodriguez, in his first public comments
since arbitrator Fredric Horowitz's deci-
sion Saturday, said he wanted to end his
career with NewYork. Yankees managing
general partner Hal Steinbrenner has
declined to talk about his possible return
but has called him a "great player."
"The 2014 season could be a big help
for me," Rodriguez said. "It might serve
as a break and close the chapter, and
begin in 2015 with my last three years
under contract with the Yankees."
Rodriguez, who will be 39 when the
2015 season opens, repeated several
times that this part of his life had not
been completed.
"I want to retire in New York, and
I think the rest will do me good," he
added. "For me, the book isn't finished.
There are still chapters to finish.... Right
now I haven't thought about retiring."


Rodriguez, fifth on the career list with
654 homers sued the Major League Base-
ball and the players' union on Monday
in an effort to overturn the decision by
Horowitz, who reduced what originally
was a 211-game suspension issued by
Selig in August.
"This process has been taxing both
mentally and physically throughout
the past eight months," Ron Berkowitz,
a spokesman for Rodriguez, said in a
statement Thursday. "Alex will abide by
the rulings of the federal judge.- what-
ever he decides and get ready for
2015 should the judge rule against him.
He will continue to move forward with
his complaint which will help all players
against this unfair system."
Also speaking Wednesday night, Yan-
kees captain Derek Jeter said he is sad-
dened by the situation.
"The whole situation is bad," Jeter said
at his Turn 2 Foundation golf classic in
Tampa,-Fla. "The whole thing has been
kind of messy."
Jeter has been in communication with
Rodriguez, but declined to say what was
discussed.
"I'm sure it's a rough situation," Jeter
said.
Hall of Famer Goose Gossage attend-
ed Jeter's event and called the Rodriguez
matter unfortunate for the game and
everyone involved.

MLB announced Thurs-
day that owners, players
and umpires have ap-

one call per game. If he's
right, he gets another chal-

challenges.
The so-called "neighbor-

on double plays cannot
be challenged. Many had
safety concerns for middle
infielders being wiped out
by hard-charging runners-
if the phantom force was
subject to review.

it," baseball Commisioner

met and voted their unani-
mous approval.
All reviews will be done
by current MLB umpires

create a large enough staff,
MLB agreed to hire six new

A seventh major league

Joe Torre, MLB's execu-
tive vice president of base-

continues on a proposed
rule that would ban home-
plate collisions between
runners and the catcher.
The rule has not been writ-

Annie's Mailbox


Dear Annie: My husband's family came
to town for a week over the holidays, We
made plans to be with them every eve-
ning except one. My parents were in the
final stages of a job relocation andwere
leaving town that same weekend. We
gave my family the one evening, Sunday,
that was not delegated to my in-laws.
My husband's parents asked us twice
to go out to dinner with them and their
friends on that same evening. We politely
declined both times, explaining that we
had plans.,That Sunday morning, we
found out that my in-lawshad made din-
ner reservations for us anyway. Some-
how, to my husband, this meant we had
to reconsider our options. I thought it
was extremely rude.
After several hours of arguing, my
husband and I compromised by saying
we would go to dinner with his parents,
eat quickly and then spend the rest of the
evening with my parents.
Well, dinner was a disaster. One couple
was an hour late, and my in-laws insisted
on waiting for them. Then, my husband
and I, along with his brother, were put
at.the "children's" table with three kids
under the age of 13. After we finally


In golf, there is usually
more than one way to hit a
shot to the green as-
suming, of course, you are
skillful enough to do that.
In bridge, many deals
give only one side a
chance to do something
meritorious: declarer or
the defense. But some-
times both sides will have
an opportunity, although
one side might require the
other to err. That applies
in this deal.
Would you prefer to
declare or defend in three
no-trump after West leads
a diamond to dummy's
bare ace?
If you like to declare,
look at only the North-
South hands and plan the
play.
Alternatively, cover the


managed to leave, we ran to my parents'
house only to find everyone else had
gone.
My husband considers this a success-
ful outcome, but I do not. My family was
deeply offended by my in-laws' usurping
our only evening together. Am I crazy
to think he should have honored the


original plans?


-STILLANGRY


Dear Still: Your husband is wrong to
think your plans should be changed
because someone else rearranged them
without your knowledge or permission.
He obviously wanted to spend time with
his family and not yours, which was un-
fair under the circumstances. When you
agreed to attend his family's dinner, you
also should have set a time to leave and
done so, regardless of where you were in
the meal.
A better compromise would have been
for him to have dinner with his folks
while you spent the time with yours.
While not ideal, it would have been
better than anger, resentment and an
argument. Now let it go. You'll do better
next time.

trick two, declarer leads
the club king from the
board. How would you,
East, defend?
South starts with only six
top tricks: two spades, one
heart and three diamonds.
The other tricks must
come from clubs, but
dummy is short of entries.
South should be happy to
lose two club tricks and to
do it as quickly as possible.
So, at trick two, he leads a
low club from the board.
After that, everything
is under control. If the
defenders must get two
tricks in a suit you wish to
establish, make them take
those tricks as quickly as
possible.

take of starting with a club

RENTON, Wash. Seattle
Seahawks wide receiver Percy
Harvin is still going through
concussion testing and has
not been cleared for Sunday's
NFC championship game.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll
said Harvin won't be partici-
pating in practice Thursday.
He said the only deadline for
Harvin is the one determined
by doctors who must clear


Harvin for him to be able to
play against San Francisco.
Harvin was injured late in
the first half of Saturday's
NFC divisional playoff win
over New Orleans. Harvin hit
his head hard on the turf after
jumping for a pass in the end
zone. It was the second big
hit Harvin took in the game.
Before being injured, Har-
vin had three receptions and
one carry in just his second
game of the season.


Police: Hernandez eyed as gunman in 2012 slayg
Police: Hernandez eyed as gunman m 2012 slaying


The Associated Press

BRISTOL, Conn. Bos-
ton police have been in-
vestigating whether jailed
former New England Pa-
triot Aaron Hernandez
may have been the gun-
man in a 2012 double slay-
ing, according to a search
warrant request released
Thursday.
Hernandez, who is await-
ing trial on murder charges
in a 2013 shooting near his
home, was seen on surveil-
lance footage in the same
nightclub as the victims the
night of the attack in Bos-


ton's South End, authorities
have said. But the newly re-
leased documents confirm
for the first time that police
suspect Hernandez could
have pulled the trigger.
A lawyer for Hernan-
dez did not immediately
respond to a request for
comment.
No charges have been
filed in the deaths of
Daniel Jorge Correia de
Abreu and Safiro Teixeira
Furtado, who were killed
on July 16, 2012, when
somebody inside an SUV
opened fire on their car.
A third person was shot


but survived.
In the affidavit and search
warrant application re-
leased by Superior Court in
Bristol, Conn., police write
that there is probable cause
to believe that Hemrnandez
was driving the vehicle used
in the shooting and "may
have been the shooter."
The affidavit was filed on
June 28 as police sought
to search an SUV they say
was involved in the shoot-
ing and was found that
month at Hernandez's
uncle's home in Bristol, his
hometown.
The SUV had been


given to Hernandez by a
Rhode Island company in
exchange for participat-
ing in promotional ac-
tivities, according to court
filings.
The SUV was covered
in dust and cobwebs and
had a dead battery, leading
police to believe it has re-
mained untouched in the
garage for close to a year,
according to the court
document.
It is not clear from the
affidavit why police be-
lieve Hernandez may
have pulled the trigger in
the 2012 shooting. The


section of the affidavit that
appears to explain that
reason is one of several
redacted from the public
copy of the document.
Survivor Aquilino Freire
told police an SUV pulled
up next to them while they
were stopped at a traffic
light, and he saw some-
one in the SUV's back seat
laughing, according to the
affidavit. Then, several
gunshots were fired from
the rear passenger seat
into the car, Freire told
police. Two other people
in the car ran away, Freire
said.

talented Northwest team
coming in and playing
well."
Northwest Florida State
(17-2, 2-1) is coming off
of a 100-76 blowout' vic-
tory over Gulf Coast State
on Tuesday, as the Raiders
shot a whopping 57 per-
cent from the floor while
making 8-of-12 three-
pointers and 34-of-40 free
throws.
It was the eighth win in
the last nine for the Raid-
ers, who have quite an im-
pression on the Indians'
coach.
"I'm really impressed,"
Blake said. "For as big as
they are, they really run
and play up-tempo. Their
guards are doing a greatjob
of finding open people and
moving the ball really well.
They can not only hurt you
from the inside, but they
have bigs who can also
step out and shoot it from
three, and their guards are
very good."
Northwest is averaging
87.7 points per game as
a team, with sophomore
guard Farad Cobb leading
the way with 14.1 points
per game, while freshman
guard Benji Bell and soph-
omore forward Darnell
Harris are each putting in
12.7 points per game, fol-
lowed by Tevin Glass with
11.5 points per game.

"Right now my future and
his future are together,"
Lazor said. "I'm in it with
him. I choose to compete
and make an impact and
to be a difference-maker,
and that's why I'm here."
Lazor was hired Wednes-
day by Philbin after one


Marianna wins.
MHS took lopsided vic-
tories over Godby and East

and came back with solid
wins over district rivals


Westbrook that Franklin
said his team has to deal
with first and foremost.
"She shoots it from deep,
she penetrates and scores
it, and she can score in
many ways. She can take
it to the hoop, pull up and
shoot it, catch and shoot;
she's a very good basket-
ball player," the coach said.
"We'll run our best defend-
ers at her non-stop."
The best perimeter de-
fender that the Lady In-
dians have is sophomore
Khadijah Ellison, who at
5-foot-7 with elite athletic


Ethan Telfair have proven a
potent backcourt trio that
can do damage from the
perimeter Cobb is con-
verting 46.2 percent from
three, with Bell making
36.2 percent from deep,
and Telfair 37.5 percent
- while the 6-foot-8 Har-
ris is a versatile inside-out
presence who is convert-
ing 39 percent from long
range while also leading
the team in rebounding
with 6.2 per game.
The Raiders also pos-
sess a great deal of size and
bulk on the interior in the
6-foot-10 sophomore Mi-
chael Chandler and 7-foot
sophomore Stephen Hurt,
with the latter averag-
ing 9.2 points and 5.3 re-
bounds and drawing rave
reviews from the Ch'iipola
coach.
"Stephen Hurt is the
best center, if not the best
player, in the country,"
Blake said of the Kansas
State commit.'"He's an ex-
tremely skilled low post
player."
With such offensive bal-
ance as the Raiders pos-
sess, the Chipola coach
said that it's imperative
that his team plays with
a chemistry and continu-
ity defensively that has
often been elusive this
season.
"We have to start defend-
ing as a team. That's been
our biggest problem, too
much one-on-one de-
fense," he said. "Five guys

Another convincing
win could be in order for
the Bulldogs tonight, but
Blanton said he'll be hap-


ability and quick hands
that produce nearly three
steals per game, would
appear ideally suited to
match up with Westbrook.
Franklin said that Ellison
will get plenty of opportu-
nities to contain the North-
west star, but he needs her
to avoid some cheap early
fouls.
"One thing I don't want
to happen is for her to get
in foul trouble early. She's a
little overaggressive some-
times reaching and going
for steals, butwe're going to
need her down the stretch


the ball. We have to have a
great team defensive effort
to be successful."
Despite the big loss Tues-
day and a pair of uneven
performances in close
wins over Pensacola State
and Gulf Coast, the Indi-
ans still sit atop the league
standings and can take
sole possession of first
with a win Saturday and a
Pensacola loss.
But while his team is
coming off of a loss and
facing a top 10 opponent
and archrival, Blake said

Tannehill on video before

"I see a lot of ability."

finished 8-8 and missed

"In a game like this, I'm

She'll have that in com-

that will be the biggest of

as well.
But Franklin said his team
is ready for a game of great
magnitude after a tough

the game like it's any more
special than the previous
three.
"You've got to approach
every game like it's a must-

back to getting better each

"We're in great position,
win or lose in this game.
There's still eight more

we don't need to add any

games," the coach said.
"It's not foreign to us. We're
fine 'with it. But I think
since this is the first time

I believe our kids want to
