Seventy years ago Thursday, my father was across the Pacic Ocean, less than 50 miles off the coast of Japan. It would be the most signicant day of his life. March 19, 1945, a Japanese dive bomber descended through a cloud and dropped two 550-pound bombs onto the ight deck of the USS Franklin, which was carrying Warren Baumann. One bomb pierced the aircraft carrier’s center deck, the other hit aft, and the two set off explosions below deck that killed 807 men and wounded another 487. My Dad survived unscathed — his and my own good fortune. Sometime soon after this battle, Dad wrote about his experience, scrawling 15 pages of script plus a title page with ofcial United States Navy letterhead. He called it, “My Day, or It shouldn’t happen to a dog.†I kept this document for more than 50 years, but never read it — don’t ask why. Last year I did and this is what I found. The Franklin steamed out of Oakland on Feb. 7, 1945. “It was quite a sad day to see the shore quietly slipping away from our grip,†Warren wrote. “It’s hard to go out on a second cruise knowing exactly what you’re going to get thrown at you.†There followed practice and drills. On Feb. 13, the Franklin arrived in Pearl Harbor. It was the day after Warren’s 21st birthday. More drills, then west across the ocean. Near the Ulithy atoll came word they’d strike “the Japanese Empire for three consecutive days.†“My heart immediately sunk to my feet,†Warren wrote. “My nerves were shot from that time on.†Warren’s job was to direct planes on and off the deck. On March 18, a “ghter sweep†was launched before dawn, then another four waves of ghters. Fierce action could be seen in the distance, but none close to the Franklin’s task force. That soon changed. Three o’clock the next morning, Warren was back on deck sending 40 planes on their way. Then another wave. “By the time the bombers left the deck it was about 7 a.m. and none of the Air Dept. had had anything to eat,†he wrote. “Everything was ready for another day.†Warren stood outside the “after-end of the (aircraft) island watching the planes go off.†It was cold and windy, he wrote, “so windy we couldn’t wear our steel helmets for fear they’d blow away. “It was about this that time, standing there with a bunch of my friends, when out of a clear sky an explosion rocked the whole ship and blew me in the shack on top of a lot of other fellows.†Someone shouted to run. They did. “Black smoke engulfed us and although we couldn’t see the re we could sure feel it.†Warren and another sailor ran into an armor-plated compartment in the island. “We no more than got there when more black smoke belched in the hatch,†he wrote. “For some nutty reason, we tried to get down to the hangar deck (a terrible idea considering the inferno below) but that was blocked up with bent hatches and more smoke and heat. “About that time, she started exploding. There were explosions that would knock us off our feet, at least one every 10 seconds. “Jack and I started to get panic-stricken. We were beyond the point of being scared.â€Remember the Franklin CHARLOTTE HARBOR — The crumbling seawalls and vacant wasteland of broken concrete and overgrown vegetation that greet motorists driving across the U.S. 41 North bridge are, at long last, near renovation. Starting this spring, construction will begin on the Gateway Harbor Walk project that will increase pedestrian and boater access to Charlotte Harbor, and rid the area of a most visible eyesore. This week the County Commission hired a contractor to start developing the area into the natural attraction it was always meant to be, but never realized. The rst phase of waterfront park improvements will include the replacement of the battered seawall, along with a new pedestrian promenade on the east side of the bridge, small-boat launch, restrooms and parking. The second phase — a local option sales tax project slated to commence next year — would include pedestrian pathways from Charlotte Harbor eyes waterfront makeoverBy GARY ROBERTSSTAFF WRITERHARBOR | 4 Jedi undoubtedly was an integral part of the Punta Gorda Police Department.

Currently, crews are widening to three lanes both northand southbound, resurfacing the existing roadway, performing bridge work, making drainage improvements, and adding guardrail, signs and pavement markings from the Lee/Charlotte county line to south of Tuckers Grade, exit 158. Crews are also making drainage improvements from north of Tuckers Grade to south of North Jones Loop Road, exit 161. Motorists should expect lane closures during the nighttime/overnight hours of 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Friday for crews to pave the travel lanes. Trafc is shifted to the outside of the roadway through the majority of the project. Variable message boards will notify motor ists of other anticipated closures. Estimated project completion is early 2017. The contractor is Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, Inc.

The Sun /Tuesday, March 17, 2015 www.sunnewspapers.net C Our Town Page 3 LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWS CHARLOTTE COUNTY — Ellen Pinder and Daniel Kujawski took an old, rickety chair, painted it and put it up for auction to raise money for cancer research. Painted in the Ombrestyle, in which artists use fading lights into a darker color, it was donated in the memory of Darla Kujawski and they named it “Kaleidoscope.†“Darla was a lot like a kaleidoscope,†her son Daniel wrote. “She saw the beauty and intricacy of the things around her and made them sparkle with her inner light. Even after being diagnosed with a rare cancer, she never lost her spirit and continued to ght. Her love for life was infectious, along with her passion to help others. By purchasing this chair, we are one seat closer to a cure.†This past weekend, at Visani Restaurant, Conway Professionals and Friends held their 4th annual Relay for Life “Chair-ity†Auction. About 125 people attended the event and perused the 17 chairs that were on display on Visani’s stage for guests to bid on. In addition, a silent auction and a rafe to raise funds for cancer research was also held. “These chairs were found by dumpsters, and one even came all the way from New York,†Judy Wilson, co-chairwoman of the Team Conway Committee, said. “They were used and abused but were professionally restored and painted. Each one has a theme.†Cyndy Franklin said it took her about three weeks to nish her chair to recognize her sister, Pennie Aiken’s, successful recovery from cancer. “My good friend Susan English brought the chair to my house one day,†Franklin said. “And I went to work on it and designed what I think is a whimsical, colorful, silly chair.†Students at the Joyful Noise Early Education & Day Care in Port Charlotte, assisted by the Kittredge family, painted a rocking chair, named “Take a bite out of cancer,†to honor the school’s director, Susan Weber, a breast cancer survivor. It was her love for children that inspired her to design a “child friendly chair†decorated with sea creatures and a shing pole with a “sh†attached that had just been caught to honor all the children ghting cancer. Every child put their ngerprint on the chair as well. “Children are such a blessing in our lives, and I could not imagine all the children that have to ght this disease,†she wrote. “It just doesn’t seem fair.†Mike and Juli Riley, a cancer survivor herself, called their chair “Hope†to pay tribute “to the ghters, admire the survivors, respect the taken, and never, ever, give up hope.†Wilson said this is the group’s signature event and they wrap it around fun and friends. “People saw something in these old, worn-out chairs,†she added. “One person had the inspiration, and the other person had the perspiration to transform them into what you see today.†This year’s Relay for Life is a 15-hour event during which individuals have campsites and walk to honor those who died or have survived cancer. There will be a survivor’s lap, a caregiver’s lap and a luminaria ceremony as well.Chair evolves into “Kaleidoscopeâ€By AL HEMINGWAYSUN CORRESPONDENT Cancer survivor Juli Riley accompanied her daughter, Sarah Harley, to the fundraiser. Ro Kovach, a four-time cancer survivor, and Cindy Killian sold rae tickets at the fundraiser. Ainsley Aiken, 5, went to the Chair-ity Auction with her grand mother, Pennie Aiken, a cancer survivor.

Our Town Page 4 C www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Tuesday, March 17, 2015 FROM PAGE ONE They took off toward the bow, where they thought they’d be safest. Getting there wasn’t. “How we missed falling in the front hole is beyond me,†he wrote. “When we were about amid-ships, another explosion blew ash all on our faces. “I was next to Jack and some other fellow next to him. That fellow got hit with something that tore his back right off him. He was dead, no sense trying to save him,†Warren wrote. Dad always was a matter-of-fact guy. From there, the two sailors hid beneath a 20 mm gun. Looking aft they saw something like “a gala Fourth of July celebration†through the dense soot of smoke. “There was ammo, rockets and gasoline ying in every direction,†he wrote. “A brave streak hit me, for some reason, and I decided to go up on deck and man a re hose.†He and others tried, but they couldn’t get close enough to the re to do any good. So he took off for the forecastle deck to nd some friends. “The results were sad indeed,†Warren wrote. The Franklin was dead in the water. “She developed a terric list so bad that it was hard to stand up.†Warren and another man decided, for whatever reason, to descend below deck. There, they saw a man lying on a catwalk, “burned beyond recognition.†“His lips were burned off, his teeth were visible to the roots. He had no ears, hair or eyes or nose. “In another catwalk another fellow was hanging by his hair or something. I can’t gure how he stayed up there,†he wrote. The deck, he continued, “was littered with burned parts of planes, engines, wings, tails, ammo and part of bodies. It was a morgue, a total wreck.†The res and explosions eventually dissipated. Survivors assembled on deck and a light cruiser, the USS Santa Fe, rammed up along the starboard side. There followed an orderly evacuation: pilots rst, then other crew and eventually Warren. “I crawled down the radio antenna (between the two ships) and dropped to the cruiser.†That was my father’s day and, essentially, my father’s war. “That night,†he wrote, “a bunch of us slept on the deck of the mess hall. It wasn’t very comfortable, but we were glad to be alive. It was an awful feeling to know you’re circling around just a stone’s throw from Japan on a clear moonlit night. We were a perfect target for a sub and we all knew it. Luckily, no subs showed up.†The USS Franklin’s bombing was one of the worst disasters in U.S. naval history. And there was this incredible post script: After managing to re up a couple of engines — and contrary to the wishes of top naval brass, who still had a war to win — the captain decided he’d make a heroic statement by limping back to base: The Ship that Never Quit. Some sailors stayed aboard for the trip and others, like my Dad — who had no real job without a ight deck — cruised back to Oahu on support ships. For that, he and the others were classied as “deserters†by the grandstanding captain. Short story: The Navy later countermanded the captain’s ludicrous and insulting designation. Warren Baumann returned home to New York, married and had three children, who had seven children, who, so far, have had seven children themselves. He enjoyed a good, long life, passing peacefully in 2011 at age 87. Underlying any family war story is one central theme: There but for grace are we. Whether it came by skill or guts or luck, it’s all the same. It easily might have been otherwise. It is our great fortune, our life. Life story?

We expect construction to begin sometime this fall,†said Jennifer Dorning, a spokesman for FDOT. Work is also continuing on the widening project for the I-75 bridge over the Caloosahatchee River in Lee County. The project is constructing two new middle spans of two lanes each running from the north to the south banks of the river. Estimated completion is late 2015. The I-75 Airport Direct Connect project from south of the Alico Road interchange to south of the Daniels Parkway interchange and the link from I-75 to the airport is now open. However, there are construction crews remaining on-site to paint the retaining wall near the airport entrance, install landscaping, irrigation and guardrails throughout the project. Dorning said that in Collier County work on I-75 from county and state route 951 to north of Golden Gate Parkway was scheduled to start construction this summer. Another road crew is nishing a project to widen the southbound-off ramp at I-75 and Golden Gate Parkway and to include three dedicated right turn lanes and two dedicated left turn lanes. This project also replaces trafc signals and resurfaces the inter section and ramp. Work occurs during daytime and nighttime hours. Motorists should expect lane closures during nighttime/overnight hours from 5:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. and during day time hours from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Drivers should use caution traveling in this area.I75FROM PAGE 1 muscles. Ofcials determined it would be dangerous for the canine to continue working, so he was retired a year ago. Ofcer Jonathan Mendel, who was partnered with Jedi for two years, took in the pooch as a pet. Since Jedi is no longer a working dog, his owner isn’t able to look after him using any of the roughly $1,350 budgeted annually for PGPD’s one-dog K-9 unit. Mendel now pays out of pocket to care for Jedi, who is 8 years old — or, 56 in “doggy years.†“We’re not paid phenomenally, so any extra money helps,†Mendel said. “I just spent $200 in January in shots and registration.â€Help on the way?With Florida’s legislative session underway, there may soon be assistance for Mendel and other owners of retired police dogs around the state. A pair of bills — one introduced in both the state House of Representatives and Senate — are pushing the “Care for Retired Law Enforcement Dogs Program Act.†If passed into law, the act would go into effect July 1. The government would set aside $300,000 annually to go toward helping owners like Mendel with up to $1,500 per year in medical bills incurred by caring for retired law enforcement dogs. “I might be able to get (Jedi) surgery or something to maybe help,†Mendel said. “I think it would be awesome.†The Florida Department of Law Enforcement would contract with a nonprot organization to administer and manage the program. Expenses covered would include annual wellness exams, vaccines, medications, emer gency care and surgeries, euthanasia, cremation and other services. “I think (retired K-9s) have earned this,†said Cpl. Deryk Alexander, who has been a K-9 handler for the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Ofce for a decade. “They serve their community, just like us. They should get something.†Alexander currently patrols with a 6-year-old Dutch shepherd named Ayko, but he has a pet — retired sheriff’s bloodhound Justice, who is 11. “I have to buy heart worm medicine and things like that for her,†Alexander said. “But I’ve been pretty lucky with her.†Sadly, the handler was not as fortunate with Eddie, his pet German shepherd who was put down in September at age 11. Alexander worked with the dog at the CCSO for ve years before the canine was retired in 2010 for having a bad hip. Eddie had allergies, so Alexander was spending $80 every three weeks for special dog food. And, $100 for vet visits and shots here or there added up. When Eddie had to be euthanized, Sgt. Duane Tucker, who heads the CCSO K-9 unit, paid the $90 fee to show his appreciation for the work the dog did and the care Alexander provided. Tucker said he’s seen some K-9 owners spend $1,000 or more for procedures on retired working dogs. “I’ve known of situations where a handler has wanted to get an MRI done (for their dog) or do a surgery, especially if the dog was shot or something,†he said. “That can get pricey, but sometimes the dogs might need it.†Punta Gorda Police Capt. Jim Nicholas, who once headed the K-9 unit for the Sheriff’s Ofce, currently helps with the department’s one-dog K-9 unit. Over his lifetime, he’s taken in ve retired K-9s as pets. Though he’s always been happy to care for them, he said he was surprised by how expensive some medical bills were. “My last dog had ear infections,†Nicholas said of the 15-year-old German shepherd named Hex, who had to be put down two years ago. “I went to the vet and they put him to sleep and cleaned his ears out. That was $350. When they handed me the bill, I almost fell over.†The captain said it would be “fantastic†to see assistance for those who care for retired K-9s.Sarasota dogsThere are four retired K-9s from the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Ofce that are still living. The agency started a donation fund a couple years ago to, in part, help current lawmen who have taken in a retired working dog. “Usually that covers one vet visit, but not really anything else,†SCSO spokeswoman Wendy Rose said, pointing out the fund is used to help active K-9s, too. Anyone can donate to help care for Sarasota sheriff’s K-9s by visiting sarasotasheriff.org/ donation-opportunities. The North Port Police Department has retired six dogs from its K-9 unit. “The dogs all served our community well, but they get old, just like we do,†North Port Police Chief Kevin Vespia said. “At the age of their retirement, they’ve expended their abilities and need care.†Each of the NPPD’s retired canines has passed away, but Vespia said the ofcers who took in the dogs as pets had to use their own money for medical expenses. “I haven’t had a handler yet who wasn’t willing to pay,†Vespia said. “Because it’s not a dog, it’s a partner.â€The push for lawThe bills encouraging the Care for Retired Law Enforcement Dogs Program Act in the state House and Senate were led March 3 by lawmakers from Palm Beach County: Rep. Dave Kerner, D-Palm Springs, and Sen. Joseph Abruzzo, D-Wellington. The two tried to push the act last year, but the 2014 bills died in May. This year’s legislative session is scheduled to end May 1. Both current bills still are under consideration. The campaign for retired K-9 benets in Florida was launched by Dr. Ken Simmons, a veterinarian from Lake Worth. The vet learned about the issue after trying to help save Drake, a retired K-9 who was shot several times in November 2012 as three teenagers tried to break into the West Palm Beach home of his owner, Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Bobby Boody. Dr. Simmons used his personal plane to y the 5-year-old German shepherd to the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in Gainesville, where the dog was euthanized due to the severity of his injuries. Ivins Rosier was convicted last year by a jury of charges including animal cruelty with a rearm, for shooting Drake. Rosier, who was 16 at the time of the crime but tried as an adult, made international headlines when a judge sentenced him to 23 years in prison.Email: akreger@sun-herald.comRETIREDFROM PAGE 1the promenade to a boardwalk crossing underneath the bridge, a shing pier and a water taxi dock facility. There will also be extensive landscaping and decorative lighting. Although the multiyear project is just beginning, it is already beset by cost overruns. The initial phase came in at $2.3 million, far exceeding the original projection. “The numbers are higher than the estimated cost,†said Debrah Forester, county redevelopment manager. That’s when the commission agreed to fund the shortfall with a $1.1 million loan from General Fund reserves. This remedy, however, presents its own set of nancial ills. The loan must be paid back by the Charlotte Harbor Community Redevelopment Area, which is already paying for the bulk of phase one improvements. “I’m a little concerned over the CRA being responsible for the overage,†Commissioner Ken Doherty said during Tuesday’s meeting. “It’s going to take, obviously, forever for that to be paid back. It’s not a realistic situation.†But there is some additional project funding rolling in. The West Coast Inland Navigation District, which collects ad valorem taxes from property owners in a four-county region, has made a verbal commitment to contribute $331,760 in grant money for seawall replacement. In addition, the county has applied for $157,000 from the Charlotte County Marine Advisory Committee. Despite the nancial setbacks, and the protracted delays, commissioners are looking forward to the day when Gateway Park becomes a popular year-round destination. “This is such an important effort for Charlotte County,†Commissioner Stephen R. Deutsch said. “This is the beginning of a very positive revitalization of Charlotte County that has been long-sought and badly needed.â€Email: groberts@sun-herald.comHARBORFROM PAGE 1 PHOTO PROVIDEDCharlotte County Sheri’s K-9 handler Cpl.

NORTH PORT — Positive Bounds, a nonprot organization in North Port, came under a watchful eye last fall when four local business members led a complaint with the state saying they were wrongfully terminated from the organization’s board of directors for requesting nancial information from CEO Summer Manda. Susan and David Flagel, Jamie Lovern and Matt Mativi led a complaint through the North Port Area Chamber of Commerce and the state’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services against Positive Bounds, located at 3138 Idlewood St., after what they said was wrongful termination for questioning nancial transactions that occurred in 2014. According to Erin Gillespie, a spokeswoman for the Department of Agriculture, the investigation was closed earlier this year because investigators described the led complaints as being an “internal dispute.†Gillespie said that investigators were reviewing the complaints again though, after they were informed another board member, who was brought on to the board of directors after the ring of the Flagels, Lovern and Mativi, resigned in February for nance concerns. “Our Division of Consumer Services is reviewing the complaints to see if any additional action can be taken,†Gillespie said in an email dated March 11. Positive Bounds’ mission is to help school-age children achieve personal goals in extracurricular activities of their choice — such as sports, dance or theater — through community donations. The Flagels own Flagel Pediatrics. Lovern is the owner of Lolablue, which sells organic bath and body products; and Mativi is a sales consultant at Caddy Carts. In a formal complaint emailed to the North Port Chamber on Nov. 3, 2014, the terminated directors stated that after “repeatedly†being asked for nancials, Manda terminated three board members via email, and the fourth at a later meeting. They said this leaves only two directors, Manda and her husband, in charge of the nonprot, and there still were questions remaining about nancial appropriations. “It appears suspicious (that) when pressed for nancial information by your acting board members, you attempt to dissolve your board,†Susan Flagel stated in an email to Manda on Oct. 8. Through a series of emails beginning Oct. 7, and ending with an emergency board meeting Oct. 21, where Manda dismissed the four ofcers with one other vote — from her husband — the Flagels, Mativi and Lovern argued with Manda about the lack of nancial transparency by her to the other directors, and the dismissal of members via emails. The complaint states that based on the nancial statements given to the complainants, there were funds given to Manda for “excessive mileage,†and “unexplained†hotel and restaurant fees that may not pertain to the operation of Positive Bounds. Manda said the main reason she had to dismiss the ofcers is because they weren’t completing their tasks to raise money for upcoming fundraising events. Manda said Monday that she is in the process of putting together a new board, which includes a Port Charlotte-based business owner, Sherry Eppley. She said Positive Bounds will be most likely renewing its list of ofcers on sunbiz.org this week. Right now, the website still lists Lovern and Mativi as ofcers for the nonprot. Manda said a business has to pay a $60 fee every time they want to update their current ofcers on the state website, so she has been waiting until Positive Bounds can nd new ofcers. “We (Positive Bounds) have received renewal notices from the state and chamber for our nonprofit, and there is no conrmation that there was even a complaint led against Positive Bounds,†Manda said Monday. Both Manda and all the complainants said they were not notied by the Department of Agriculture when the investigation was originally completed. Gillespie said she would notify the parties involved if the investigation were to be reopened. Email: ashirk@sun-herald.com Positive Bounds complaint tabled pending further reviewBy ALLISON SHIRK STAFF WRITER MANDA Somebody broke into former Chicago cop Mike Tomasovich’s Southwest Florida home — but it wasn’t one of the usual suspects. It was two men working for a contractor employed by Fifth Third Bank, with whom Tomasovich has a $231,000 mortgage he took out when he bought the house for $250,000 in 2010. According to a recent lawsuit led by Tomasovich, who splits his time between Chicago and Estero, the two got past the guard at the front gate of the Bella Terra community one day in late November, went to the house and then called a locksmith to gain access to the house by drilling the lanai door lock. The intruders then posted a notice in the front bedroom window — visible from outside the house — saying that the house was “found to be unsecure or vacant†and later told neighbors that the house was in dis repair and Tomasovich was a deadbeat in foreclosure on the house. But Tomasovich, who now runs a security company, isn’t a deadbeat. Lee County and federal public records show he’s not in foreclosure and never has been. There’s also no possible way someone could have thought the house was abandoned, he said: “There was food in the refrigerator, a car in the garage,†he said. “Every room is furnished. The electricity was on, the pool was crystal clear.†Still, Tomasovich said, “They put a sign in the front bedroom: ‘This house is abandoned and unsecured.’ “ The crew, according to the lawsuit, was from Austin, Texas-based Field Asset Services, which was working for Fifth Third contractor Assurant Inc. Bank spokesman Sean Parker said that Fifth Third has no comment. “We do not, unfortunately, because it’s in litigation. We are aware of the situation.†Ofcials with Field and Assurant didn’t return phone calls. Tomasovich said he called the bank Dec. 1 and asked what happened. He was told he’d get a response the next day by 9:15 a.m., but nobody ever responded and he hasn’t heard from the bank since. His attorney, Fort Myers-based Harris Katz, said that even if the house had been in foreclosure, the bank would have needed a warrant from a judge to go into the house. “From my perspective they acted with complete disregard,†he said. “To be honest, I’m shocked that I haven’t heard from anyone at the bank yet.†The lawsuit asks for damages of more than $15,000 and alleges trespass, invasion of privacy, defamation and breach of contract against Fifth Third, Field Asset and Assurant, and negligence against Field Asset and Assurant. Now Tomasovich says he thinks that whatever happened, it’ll be hard to persuade his friends and neighbors that he’s not a deadbeat. Already, one man came up to him at the house and asked, “Is this house for sale, sir? What are you going to ask for it?†People can’t quite believe a bank would just decide to break into someone’s house with no good reason, Tomasovich said. “They look at you and they don’t believe that,†he said, but the bank is no help in clearing it up. “They won’t give me an answer, an explanation.â€Lawsuit: Bank breaks into house, won’t give explanationBy Dick HoganNEWS-PRESS JAMES W.

LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWS CHARLOTTE HARBOR — A 37-year-old man claiming to have been “playing a game†Sunday morning got caught up in a burglary investigation because he was hiding near the scene, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Ofce. A law enforcement K9 sniffed him out. Detectives went to a home on Melbourne Street just before 2:30 a.m. Sunday after a homeowner called 911 because he saw a man — later identied as Frank Schallmoser, 29 — trying to break in through the house’s back door, according to a sheriff’s report. The homeowner had been awakened by his barking dog. While authorities were on scene, they saw Schallmoser walking in the street, questioned him, and arrested him on a charge of attempted burglary to an occupied house. During the investigation, a CCSO K9 picked up the scent of another man and led deputies about a quarter mile down a track behind the house Schallmoser allegedly tried to enter. Authorities said the dog alerted to the presence of a person, and George Wilson was found hiding in a wooded area under a pile of palm fronds by his own house. Wilson had a dark-colored bandanna over his face and was wearing a long-sleeve black shirt, black gloves, dark camouage pants and had binoculars next to him. Wilson got up and allegedly tried to rush past the two deputies, elbowing one in the chest, saying, “I was just playing a game. Please let me go.†Wilson, who was wrestled to the ground, continued to thrash about and tried to hit and kick deputies even after the use of a Taser, the report shows. The K9 bit Wilson on his left arm and back, allowing the deputies to handcuff the suspect. After being treated at the hospital for bite wounds, Wilson was taken to the Charlotte County Jail. Wilson was being held without bond Monday on two counts of battery on a law enforcement ofcer, and one count each of resisting an ofcer with violence, loitering or prowling and violation of probation, which he was on after being adjudicated guilty for drug charges in 2013. Schallmoser, who lives on Westchester Boulevard about two miles away from the house he allegedly tried to break into, was released from jail later Sunday on $5,000 bond. Authorities do not believe Wilson was involved in the burglary. It’s unclear from the report what game he might have been playing. The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office reported the following arrests: Angela Janina Bulanda, 17, 1300 block of Tooley St., North Port. Charges: possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was released to a parent. Brendan Daniel Joseph Wieleba, 20, of Waterford Drive, Englewood. Charges: possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was released on his own recognizance. Peter Paul Kovitch Jr., 49, 18200 block of Avonsdale Circle, Port Charlotte. Charges: refusing a DUI test and DUI. Bond: $5,000. Justen David Tape, 21, 3400 block of Crittendon St., North Port. Charge: DUI. Bond: $2,500. The Punta Gorda Police Department reported the following arrests: Patrick James Vicario, 23, of Mahopac, N.Y. Charges: DUI and driving with a suspended or revoked license. Bond: $5,000. Doreen Ann Charters, 52, 2800 block of Magdalena Drive, Punta Gorda. Charges: disorderly conduct, resisting an officer and an off-bond recommit. Bond: none. Neighborhood watch: The road blockage and subsequent traffic detour on U.S. 41 near the intersection of Zemel Road south of Punta Gorda was caused by a serious traffic crash. Both vehicles involved sustained heavy damage in the wreck, which occurred around 10:45 a.m. Monday. One person was flown to Lee Memorial Hospital as a trauma alert. —Compiled by Adam KregerK9 sniffs out man hiding near crime scene | POLICE BEATThe information for Police Beat is gathered from police, sheriff’s office, Florida Highway Patrol, jail and fire records. Not every arrest leads to a conviction and guilt or innocence is determined by the court system. Public beach parking has become a precious commodity on Manasota Key. “I’m here 31 years out here on the Key, and I’ve never seen it this bad,†said Margie Keyes, co-owner, with her husband, of Gulf View Grill across from Englewood Beach. “(Public beach-goers) think they have a right. It’s worse than I’ve eve r seen.†Warmer weather and spring break have meant a spike in beach-goers and many — especially those arriving later in the day — are nding there is no place to park. Some have made their own parking spaces and that has the attention of the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Ofce. The Sheriff’s Ofce has warned those who decide to park illegally or improperly on the streets of Manasota Key that they could be cited with a $118 parking ticket. By 11:30 a.m. Monday, all the parking spaces at the public Englewood Beach and Chadwick Park on Lemon Bay were lled. The two parks have a total of 335 parking spaces available to beach patrons. Motorists drove around and around the parking lot Monday like they were playing “Musical Chairs,†hoping to spot someone leaving and swing quickly into a vacant parking spot. According to Florida State Park Manager Chad Lach, the 63 spaces at Stump Pass State Park on the southern tip of Manasota Key are generally lled by 9 a.m. “It’s been this way for the last couple of years, and it’s been getting worse and worse and worse,†said Keyes. To ensure that their parking lot remains open to their patrons, the Keyes posted an employee in their parking lot. “Last year, I only had to do it on holidays and holiday weeks,†Keyes said. “This year, I have to do it full time.†They aren’t the only business owners who remain vigilant. Business owners have had vehicles not belonging to customers or staff towed out of their parking lots. North of the public beach, Sharon and Brett Stone, owners of the Beach Croft Motel, also have had to protect the 10 parking spaces reserved for their nine units. The bottom line, Sharon and others said, is that the public beach doesn’t have enough spaces. “They locked themselves into this,†Sharon said, recalling how when Charlotte County renovated the boardwalk at Englewood Beach along the dunes, the public beach lost spaces. Outside of Englewood Beach, Charlotte County Sheriff’s deputies issued three parking tickets in all of March 2014. So far this month, deputies have issued 28 tickets — after 11 tickets were written in February. “The problem areas are basically streets near the beach that people are going to when the parking lot is full,†CCSO spokeswoman Debbie Bowe said. Gulf Boulevard, Beach Road and side streets surrounding the public beach. “Some are parking anywhere they can nd to put a vehicle, even when there are ‘no parking’ signs posted,†Bowe said. “With vehicles parked anywhere, including on roads and bike paths, it makes the area unsafe for pedestrians, bicyclists and emergency vehicles trying to get through on narrowed roadways. “Whether the deputy issues a warning or a citation is really up to the individual ofcer’s discretion based on the circumstances,†Bowe said. Deputies, she said, don’t want to be the “bad guys†— and neither do their Sarasota County counterparts. Sarasota County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Wendy Rose said the SCSO faced calls about illegal parking surrounding public beaches — Blind Pass and the Manasota beaches. The bottom line consensus is that Manasota Key public beaches’ popularity has exceeded its parking capacity. George Tatge, Sarasota County water park manager, said the county posted no parking signs surrounding Blind Pass Beach, which has more than 200 parking spots, and Manasota Beach, which has just under 300 spots. Sarasota County staff is also working on a proposed capital improvement project to present commissioners that would add parking to Manasota Key. Also, behind the dearth of public beach parking, is the success seen in tourism this year. January 2014 generated a record $329,503 for Charlotte County in tourist taxes, an additional sales tax placed on motel and other short-term rentals. This January took in $418,782, 27 percent above last year. Charlotte tourism development director Lorah Steiner said she’s hearing anecdotal reports that winter visitors are coming earlier and staying longer than previous years.Email: reilly@sun-herald.comParking scarce at Manasota beachesBy STEVE REILLYSTAFF WRITER Start your day with the Crossword Puzzle Mon.

Our Town Page 8 C www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Tuesday, March 17, 2015 Time, again, for more sandLike sand through the hour glass The continuing drama of beach renewal came back into focus here last week when four dozen Manasota Key residents showed up at a meeting to ask Charlotte County to do something ASAP about beach erosion near their homes on the south end of the key. Just ve years ago, their neighbors to the north were making the same plea to Sarasota County ofcials. But then, as will happen along shorelines, sand ow shifted back in their favor and their beachfront expanded. Never mind. That’s the beach renourishment conundrum: To let it be or not to let it be. Nature takes and nature brings sand back. It’s all earth sciences. Wait long enough and it may just work in your favor. Or maybe not. Few want to wait and watch — eons, anyone? — especially in places with wonderful shorefront properties, and tourists and residents eager to sit on a blanket and enjoy the Gulf waters. Or, in some cases, just to have enough space to stroll along the waters edge. County governments use a variety of funding sources to replenish local beaches. In places where private landowners are involved, they are expected to chip in, but we all legally enjoy unimpeded access to Florida beaches closest to the water. On south Manasota Key, beach replenishment is long overdue. Caspersen Beach in Venice has reached a crisis point. Renourishment is underway at Venice Beach. Time to ip the hourglass once more. It’s what we do. Over and over. Unless we want to wait who-knows-how-long, we have no other choice.Supreme Court justices may be wise, obtuse, fair or political, but we don’t ordinarily think of them as eccentric. William Douglas, who was on the court in the middle of the 20th century, has long counted as the only unambiguously eccentric justice. But now, as an opinion on separation of powers issued last week makes clear, Justice Clarence Thomas has joined him. A judge can be counted as eccentric if he holds positions that don’t fit with established law and that depart, frequently and significantly, from those that prevail within the court. A judge who is eccentric is not necessarily wrong, and eccentricity can be appealing. To many liberals, and especially to many law students, Justice Douglas seemed bold and admirably rebellious, in part because he was not bound by precedents. As early as 1949, Douglas insisted that the “search for a static security — in the law or elsewhere — is misguided.†In his view, “security can only be achieved through constant change, through the wise discarding of old ideas that have outlived their usefulness, and through the adapting of others to current facts.†In his 36 years on the Court, he practiced what he preached. Douglas believed that the First Amendment forbids any regulation of sexually explicit speech, including the most obscene, and that it essentially obliterates the law of libel (at least when public issues are being discussed). A lifelong lover of nature, Thomas repeatedly rejects the court’s precedents Guest ColumnistCass Sunstein CASS | 9 Term limit amendment neededEditor: Term limits is the only way we can regain control of our own federal government. If the voters carefully select the candidates for these offices we should end up with a Congress that truly represents us and is not looking to sell their souls for a high-paying lifetime career. With the help of their highly paid professional staffs, they would have plenty of help to learn their jobs. This can only be accomplished by an amendment to the Constitution. As an example as to how difficult this would be if left up to the U.S. Congress you must look at the 27th Amendment to the Constitution. This does not allow Congress to increase their own salaries in the same term they are in office. The increase goes into effect after the next election. This was adopted for ratification on Sept. 25, 1787, and was actually ratified on May 7, 1992 (202 years, seven months and 12 days later). There was no stipulated time for ratification and the politicians were evidently in no hurry. This gives you an idea of what we would be up against in trying to get a term limit amendment into the Constitution.Martin Mandel EnglewoodHypocrites with a new mantraEditor: Now that the economy is steadily moving forward, conservative Republicans no longer have the “where are the jobs†mantra to rely on. Their new mantras are now “income inequality†and “the working poor.†At the same time they are still promoting tax breaks for wealthy corporations, they won’t raise the minimum wage and they still want to dismantle Social Security. Can you say “hypocrites�Rob Lauriguet Port CharlotteHuman options for ending lifeEditor: Legislators take notice: Dr. Marc Yacht is right on target with his article on assisted suicide. As a healthy, active 80-year-old, I have written on several occasions to my congressional representatives asking for their support for AS legislation. Too often, the spineless replies are along the lines, if such a bill comes to my desk, I will consider it then. Meaning, of course, that they have no interest in taking the initiative. What is the objection to providing the relief of death to someone whose future holds a prolonged life of pain and suffering? Is it on moral grounds? If so, no one has the right to impose their morals on anyone else, and any individual’s morals are of no concern, to the extent that they do not directly affect anyone else. Could it be on religious grounds? If so, be realistic. Religion is a very personal matter. If one faced with a painful, prolonged death, wishes to end his/her life, there are many ways of doing so. But some methods bear a strong degree of failure, some can be very messy, and other ways offer severe trauma to survivors. It should be everyone’s right to have access to an assured, certain and painless method of ending their life. A licensed medical provider should be allowed to provide the proper drugs, along with instructions, and then be done with it. It’s all up to you, lawmakers. Let’s start treating ourselves in the humane way that we treat our pets.Alfred P. Webster EnglewoodAmericans support death with dignityEditor: Y our recent guest column by Dr. Marc Yacht on providing the option to end one’s life with dignity made a great case for the right of a mentally competent terminally ill patient to avoid excruciating pain and suffering. A recent Harris poll found that 74 percent of American adults agree that individuals who are terminally ill, in great pain and who have no chance for recovery should have the right to choose to end their own life. Further, 72 percent felt doctors should be able to advise terminally ill patients who request information on alternatives to medical treatments or ways to end life, or both. There are now five states that permit physician aid in dying, an importantly 20 other states where legislation recently has been introduced to permit physicians to hasten the end of life for a suffering person. Thanks to the advances in medical care we have created longer lives for so many Floridians, but ironically sometimes these longer lives are more torturous, the quality of life can be miser able and some people suffer far more than they ever expected to or need to. When will Florida adopt what has now become the ultimate human right of the 21st century?Frank Kavanaugh Punta GordaCotton’s action borders on treasonEditor: It appears Arizona Sen. John McCain has a new successor to his title of chief warmonger of the Republican Party. He is Tom Cotton, the brand new senator from Arkansas who recently penned the now infamous letter to the leaders of Iran trying to undermine the efforts of the Obama administration to strike a deal on atomic development. This missive was also signed by 47 of his fellow Republican senators. As we are well-aware, politicians both Republican and Democrat will do anything to get publicity. However, this action borders on treason. Sen. Cotton has an interesting history of being against common-sense legislation. He is the darling of the National Defense Industrial Association who make their money building war machines. He also received a $700,000 campaign contribution from the Emergence Commission For Israel. Other interesting items he voted against were equal pay for women and food stamps for the poor. Both McCain and Cotton honorably served this country with distinction in the military. They both experienced war. It makes one wonder why they are so anxious to once again send young men off to die.Ron Bupp Port CharlotteFlood risk standards could bring changesThe Charlotte County Commission today will discuss the potential impacts of the newly created Federal Flood Risk Management Standard, which seeks to curb construction in oodplains by prohibiting federal money from paying for such projects. The standard, created by executive order in January, were put in place to limit taxpayer losses as a result of climate change-related events, such as sea level rise, more and stronger tropical storms and ooding rains. While they wouldn’t prevent construction or development within the ood zones, local governments have and can implement policies that set elevation requirements higher than they are now or amend their growth management plans to reect the new standard. For example, Charlotte County homeowners qualify for a 25 percent discount on ood insurance because of policies put in place by the county to meet Federal Emergency Management Agency ood mitigation measures. To determine the elevation that would trigger federal funding restrictions, agencies can use three approaches: Use data and methods informed by best-available, actionable climate science; Build 2 feet above the 100-year (1 percent annual chance) ood elevation for standard projects, and 3 feet above for critical buildings like hospitals and evacuation centers; or Build to the 500-year (0.2 percent-annual-chance) ood elevation. It remains to be seen what, if any, changes Charlotte County makes to its policies in response to the ood risk management standards. But as a recipient of millions of dollars in federal hurricane recovery money following Hurricane Charley, we cannot afford to roll the dice by not knowing the rules.

The Sun /Tuesday, March 17, 2015 www.sunnewspapers.net C Our Town Page 9 It is almost eerie how closely Hillary Clinton’s current email scandal parallels the beginnings of the Whitewater asco that ensnared her and her husband almost 20 years ago. Both began with tendentious, inaccurate stories published by The New York Times; both relied upon highly exaggerated suspicions of wrongdoing; both were seized upon by Republican partisans whose own records were altogether worse; and both resulted in shrill explosions of outrage among reporters who couldn’t be bothered to learn actual facts. Fortunately for Secretary Clinton, she won’t be subjected to investigation by less-than-independent counsel like Kenneth Starr — and the likelihood that the email ap will damage her nascent presidential campaign seems very small, according to the latest polling data. Yet the reaction of the Washington media to these allegations renews the same old questions about press fairness to the Clintons, and how the media treats them in contrast with other politicians. In this instance, the behavior of Republican ofcials whose use of private email accounts closely resembles what Secretary Clinton did at the State Department has been largely ignored — even though some of those ofcials might also seek the presidency. Jeb Bush released a large volume of emails from the personal — i.e., non-government — email account that he used as Florida governor, and praised his own transpar ency with typical extravagance. The problem is that those emails represent only 10 percent of those he wrote. The rest he has withheld, without any public review under Florida open records laws. When Scott Walker served as a Milwaukee county executive, before he was elected Wisconsin governor, he and his staff used a secret email system for illegal campaign work, which emerged as part of an investigation that ultimately sent one of his aides to prison (another was immunized by prosecutors). Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has used a personal email account for government business, as has Texas Governor Rick Perry. So have Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and various Congress members who have been heard to spout about Clinton’s emails, such as Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz. Hypocritical as they may seem, none of those examples compare with the truly monumental email scandal of the Bush years, when millions of emails went missing from White House servers — and many more were never archived on those servers, as required since 1978 by the Presidential Records Act, because dozens of Bush White House staff were using private email accounts provided by the Republican National Committee. Notably, those RNC email clients included top Bush adviser Karl Rove, who used committee accounts for an estimated 95 percent of his electronic messaging, and by his staff. Among many other dubious activities, Rove aide Susan Ralston used her private RNC email to discuss Interior Department appointments with the ofce of crooked lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who wanted to inuence the department on behalf of gambling interests. She told Abramoff’s associate that “it is better not to put this stuff in their email system because it might actually limit what they can do to help us, especially since there could be lawsuits, etc. †While Rove was forced to surrender some emails involving his notorious exposure of CIA agent Valerie Plame, he retained the capacity to delete thousands of emails. Various investigations and lawsuits eventually uncovered the astonishing breadth of the Bush White House email asco, such as the “recycling†of back-up tapes for all of its archived emails between Inauguration Day 2001 and sometime in 2003. This meant, for instance, messages pertaining to the 9/11 terrorist attack went missing of course — along with whatever Rove and his aides might have communicated on that topic, or weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or countless other topics of public concern. And former Secretary of State Colin Powell, whose ofce was also involved in both the Plame and WMD scandals, admitted recently that he used private emails in ofce — but that he turned over and retained none of them — zero. By contrast, Clinton has turned over tens of thousands of her emails to the department. Thanks to a federal lawsuit led by two nonprot watchdog groups, the National Security Archive at George Washington University and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a small proportion of the missing Bush White House emails were eventually restored — but only when the Obama administration nally settled the case in 2009. Those strict Obama rules for preserving emails (which Clinton stands accused of ignoring) resulted directly from the new administration’s determination to avoid the mess engendered by the deceptive and unlawful preservation practices of the Bush White House. So if Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email account is so shocking to the Beltway media, why did they barely notice (and care even less) when millions of emails disappeared during the Bush years? The current hysteria may reect the intense press prejudice against Clinton that several well-placed Washington journalists confessed during a brief moment of introspection following the disgraceful coverage of her 2008 campaign. And it should serve to warn voters that what Gene Lyons famously called “the Clinton rules†— which encouraged all varieties of inaccuracy, bias journalistic failure in the 1990s — simply never went away. To nd out more about Joe Conason, visit the Creators Syndicate website at www.creators. com. Media’s email hysteria: Why are Republicans exempt? Joe Conason he famously argued that trees, streams and other inanimate objects should have standing to bring suit in federal court. He also insisted on an expansive right of privacy, including “freedom to wander and to loaf†and broad “control over the development of one’s intellect, interests, tastes and personality.†Justice Thomas is also a fan of liberty, but ideologically he stands at the opposite pole from Douglas, and he interprets the Constitution in a radically different way. More than any justice in history, he is an originalist, insisting that the Constitution’s provisions should be interpreted to mean what they meant at the time they were ratified. Like Douglas, however, Thomas isn’t committed to respect for precedent; he believes the original meaning of the Constitution has priority over any judicial interpretation. The results can be unquestionably eccentric. Last week, Thomas announced his view that Congress lacks the constitutional power to give administrative agencies (such as the Department of Health and Human Services and the Environmental Protection Agency) the authority to “formulate generally applicable rules of private conduct.†That’s radical stuff. It appears to suggest that HHS can’t issue binding rules to implement the Affordable Care Act and that EPA can’t issue the air quality rules that have defined its work for more than four decades. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Thomas has said that the First Amendment broadly forbids regulation of commercial advertising and campaign contributions. He is the only member of the court who contends that the states may establish official religions (because the Constitution’s Establishment Clause applies only to the federal government, and not to the states). He thinks that prisoners have no free speech rights and that the same is true of students (at least while in school). He thinks that the Constitution flatly for bids public institutions from adopting affirmative action programs. In all of these areas, and many others, Thomas rejects earlier court rulings that contradict him. Douglas was often likened to his colleague Justice Hugo Black, because they both tended to be left of center, and because they frequently agreed. But Black was generally more cautious and more respectful of precedent. Thomas is often paired with Justice Antonin Scalia, but Scalia, who has described himself as a “faint-hearted†originalist, is frequently willing to defer to precedents even if, in his view, they depart from the original understanding. To the extent that Thomas is this generation’s Douglas, Scalia can be regarded as its Black. Justice Thomas’s many fans will no doubt abhor this analogy. They will correctly point out that, for Thomas, the original meaning of the Constitution is the lodestar; for Douglas, it was irrelevant. On this view, Douglas was essentially lawless, while Thomas is committed, above all, to fidelity to law. Maybe so. Nevertheless, both justices count as outliers, repeatedly rejecting precedents in favor of their idiosyncratic understanding of the Constitution’s meaning. And no less than Douglas, Thomas usually interprets the Constitution in a way that fits well with his admirers’ political convictions. For all their differences, the court’s two eccentrics have a lot in common. Cass R. Sunstein, a Bloomberg View columnist, is director of the Harvard Law School’s program on behavioral economics and public policy. Readers may reach him at Cass_Sunstein@hks. harvard.edu.CASSFROM PAGE 8On March 2, the story broke that Hillary Clinton had possibly violated email regulations while secretary of state. You could almost hear the collective gasp in Washington: Oh, no, here we go again. But then the next evening, Clinton was feted at the EMILY’S List 30th Anniversary Gala dinner as though nothing had happened. Only the trumpets were missing from what felt like her coronation as the Democratic presidential nominee and, possibly, the next president of the United States. Fast-forward a dozen days and Clinton’s position in the presidential sweepstakes seems less assured, her inevitability not so inevitable. The most perplexing question isn’t about the emails themselves, but why she put everything at risk over such a small detail, declining to segregate her personal and business email. There can only be one answer and it isn’t “convenience,†as Clinton claims. Think of another word that begins with the letter ‘C’: control. Clinton claims she opted for the convenience of one cellphone and a personal server — rather than use a government-issued phone for business and another device for personal matters. Too much stuff to lug around? So the whole question of her conduct as secretary of state boils down to a few ounces of electronic equipment. Hate to say it, but only a woman could come up with such an excuse. It’s all about the purse. Plainly, Clinton didn’t want anyone snooping around her virtual le cabinet, and who does? But this isn’t the point. When you are secretary of state and are mulling a run for president, you steer clear of anything and anyone remotely questionable. No one should know this better. Questions that merit serious consideration include whether the Clinton server was secure. Hillary insists that it was because her New York home, where the server lives, is protected by the Secret Service. Given the optional sobriety of agents these days, this is less than reassuring. Then, too, hacking doesn’t require on-site handling. Here’s the real muddle for Clinton. Whether her server suffered no breaches — and whether there’s nothing in those 32,000 deleted personal emails — matters little. In politics, you’re guilty as perceived. It looks bad. Most likely this error (rather than crime) is a function of remoteness more than dishonesty. The Clintons have been around so long, they are the essence of bubble life. Removed from the hubbub of ordinary existence — escorted, driven, valeted, catered to, styled, uffed and obeyed — being Clinton means never having to hear the word “no.†It must be easy to forget that you have to live by the same rules as everyone else. This is a concept the Clintons have never fully accepted. One can understand, given their extended public life — and the hyper-scrutiny under which they live — that they might seek to erect high walls around their private lives. Fame and celebrity breed not just insularity but also paranoia. Maybe there’s nothing of interest in those personal emails, but how would we know? Team Clinton handpicked the “personals†and now they’re deleted, thus creating the impression that she is hiding something. The Clintons always seem to be hiding something. Not so much holding their cards close to the chest as kicking the body back behind the dust rufe. Even though investigations into every “gate†associated with them in the past — Travelgate, Filegate, Troopergate, you-name-it-gate — failed to produce much more than a blue dress, there seemed to be something not quite right. And now there’s this. Not illegal per se, but not quite right. Clinton says she gured that because all her communications to state staff went to the .gov server, they automatically would have gone into storage as required. True, but what about the rest? What’s in those deleted emails? Don’t we imagine that personal and business often overlap in the Clinton Rolodex? Adding to the suspicion is that the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton did turn over to the State Department surfaced only after the House select committee investigating Benghazi requested her correspondence about the attack. Would she have turned them over anyway? Maybe. Still and again, it doesn’t look good. And the entire mess serves as a reminder of a movie we’ve seen before — and it wasn’t so great the rst time. Whether this episode proves fatal remains to be seen, but we won’t hear the end of it until every note of condolence, yoga date and wedding plan is known to someone other than Hillary.

In February, several of the experts wrote online posts for American Heart Month, with each including a mini-can of Coke or soda as a snack idea. The pieces — which appeared on nutrition blogs and other sites including those of major newspapers — offer a window into the many ways food companies work behind the scenes to cast their products in a positive light, often with the help of third parties who are seen as trusted authorities.

COKE | 4TIKRIT, Iraq — Dressed in green and carrying a heavy rie, Yazan al-Jabouri paced along the front line on the fringes of the northern city of Tikrit, anxiously awaiting a plan of attack. For months, al-Jabouri lived in fear of crossing paths with a ghter from the Islamic State group. He had refused to pledge loyalty to the extremist group, and letters had been left on his doorstep threatening to cut his head off. His wife and children also were threatened. “I wanted nothing to do with Daesh,†he said, using the Arabic acronym for the group, also known as ISIS and ISIL. He said 156 homes of his kinsmen had been destroyed and 16 of his relatives had been killed.

Confronted with new evidence by the makers of a documentary about his life, the troubled millionaire blinked, burped oddly, pulled his ear and briey put his head in his hands before denying he was the killer. Then he stepped away from the tense interview and went to the bathroom, still wearing the live microphone that recorded what he said next. “There it is. You’re caught!†Durst whispered to himself before running the tap water. “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.†That moment didn’t just make for a captivating nale to a six-part documentary on the eccentric life of an heir to a New York real estate fortune. It also may have given police and prosecutors the evidence they needed to close the longcold case of a mobster’s daughter. Susan Berman was felled by a bullet to the back of her head as investigators prepared to nd out what she knew about the disappearance of Durst’s wife in 1982. Los Angeles prosecutors led a rst-degree charge against Durst on Monday that could trigger the death penalty. The charges came after two years of investigation and allege he lay in wait with a gun and murdered a witness, special circumstances that could carry a death sentence if prosecutors decide later to pursue it. Durst, 71, who was arrested at a New Orleans hotel on the eve of Sunday’s nal episode, agreed Monday to face trial for the murder of Berman, who had vouched for him in public after his wife vanished.

Burwell announced the latest estimates Monday as the administration prepares to commemorate the fth anniversary of the law’s signing on March 23. Most of those gaining coverage — 14.1 million people — got their insurance after the law’s big expansion began at the end of 2013. The program offers subsidized private coverage for people who don’t have health insurance on the job, along with an expanded Medicaid program that many states have accepted. Another 2.3 million people previously gained coverage. Those were young adults allowed to remain on a parent’s plan until age 26 under one of the law’s most popular provisions.Betty White to get Daytime Emmy NEW YORK (AP) — Show-biz sweetheart Betty White is about to get another dose of love, this time from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

In the 1960s, White was a frequent contestant on “Password,†where she met and subsequently wed its host, Allen Ludden. She also appeared on “The Match Game†and “The $25,000 Pyramid.†She was the rst woman to receive an Emmy Award for outstanding game show host for the show “Just Men.†And she had a recurring role on “The Bold and the Beautiful†from 2006 to 2009.

(AP) — It may have been the easiest driving while intoxicated arrest ever made by the New York State Police. Authorities say a trooper was driving a marked patrol car Saturday night when he stopped to ll his gas tank at a convenience store in Brunswick, near Albany. While the trooper was gassing up, state police say, a 50-year-old man from nearby Troy pulled in and parked next to the trooper’s car. Police say the man got out of his vehicle and walked directly into the trooper’s car. Ofcials say the man showed obvious signs of intoxication and was questioned by the trooper. Police say the man failed eld sobriety tests and was arrested for DWI. Trooper say his blood-alcohol content was 0.18 percent, more than twice the legal limit.At current rate, American women won’t see equal pay until 2058WASHINGTON (Washington Post) — When it comes to equal pay, the American woman is stuck in a proverbial waiting room. But the number on her ticket — the length of her stay largely depends on where she lives and to whom she was born. A new report from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, released this week, predicts U.S. women won’t reach pay parity with men until 2058. And the wait could be much longer for those in Wyoming and Louisiana, for example, where women on average make less money than female peers in other states. Closing the gender wage gap is generations away in Wyoming, the study’s authors predict. The projected year: 2159. Louisiana ranks second to last by a half-century (2106) and is followed by North Dakota (2104). To reach these dismal conclusions, researchers crunched U.S. census data: How many women in a given area were working? In management roles? In science, technology, engineering or math elds? At what pay? Rates of progress, the researchers found, varied drastically by state, race and educational attainment. CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) — A man charged in the shooting of two police ofcers during a demonstration in Ferguson told investigators he was not targeting law enforcement and had been aiming for someone with whom he was in dispute. Announcing charges against Jeffrey Williams on Sunday, St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch said he believed the 20-yearold suspect attended last week’s protest before the shooting happened. Activists said Williams was not a consistent xture in their tight-knit group. “We’re not sure we completely buy that part of it,†McCulloch said of Williams’ contention that he did not re at the ofcers. Williams is charged with two counts of rst-degree assault, one count of ring a weapon from a vehicle and three counts of armed criminal action. McCulloch said there may have been other people in the vehicle with Williams and that the investigation is ongoing. The police ofcers were shot early Thursday as a late-night demonstration outside the Ferguson Police Department began to break up. The protest followed the resignation of city Police Chief Tom Jackson in the wake of a Justice Department report that found widespread racial bias in the police department. County police spokesman Brian Schellman said Monday that the ofcers are both white, and St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar has identied Williams as black. But Schellman said it was not clear if race played a role in the shooting. “He was out there earlier that evening as part of the demonstration,†McCulloch said of Williams. But several activists who have been involved in the protests since the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a Ferguson police ofcer told The Associated Press they were not familiar with Williams. Williams used a handgun that matches the shell casings at the scene, McCulloch said. He also said tips from the public led to the arrest. Williams is being held on $300,000 bond. Schellman said he did not know whether Williams had an attor ney. A message left at the St. Louis County Justice Center was not immediately returned. Brittany Ferrell, 26, a protest leader with the group Millennial Activists United, had just left a meeting with other leaders Sunday when word of the arrest circulated. She said no one in the group knew Williams, and they checked with other frequent protesters, who also had not heard of him. Ferrell suspected McCulloch tried to cast him as a protester to reect negatively on the movement. “This is a fear tactic,†she said. “We are very tight-knit. We know each other by face if not by name, and we’ve never seen this person before.â€Ferguson suspect told police he was aiming for someone else AP PHOTOPro-police demonstrators wave to passing cars as they stand outside the Ferguson Police Department Sunday in Ferguson, Mo. NEW YORK (AP) — McDonald’s workers in 19 cities have led complaints over burns from popping grease, a lack of protective equipment and other workplace hazards, according to labor organizers. The complaints are the latest move in an ongoing campaign to win pay of $15 an hour and unionization for fastfood workers by publicly pressuring McDonald’s to come to the bargaining table. The push is being spearheaded by the Service Employees International Union and began more than two years ago. Already, it has included protests around the country and lawsuits alleging workers weren’t given their rightful pay. The burns and other hazards were detailed in complaints announced Monday and led with U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration in recent weeks. Workers cite a persistent lack of gloves for handling hot equipment and say they’ve been burned while clean ing grills that have to be kept on. One worker says he was told by a manager to, “put mayonnaise on it, you’ll be good.†The complaints also detail a lack of training for handling hot fryers and slipping on wet oors. A representative for the Labor Department, Laura McGinnis, conrmed the complaints were received by OSHA but said the agency does not discuss ongoing investigations. In a statement, McDonald’s Corp. said its independent franchisees are committed to providing safe working conditions for employees, and that the company will review the allegations. “It is important to note that these complaints are part of a larger strategy orchestrated by activists targeting our brand and designed to generate media coverage,†Heidi Barker Sa Shekhem, a McDonald’s spokeswoman, said in the statement. The complaints extend a central theme of the “Fight for $15†campaign, which has been to hold McDonald’s accountable for working conditions at its franchised locations. That would ease the way for worker negotiations and unionization across the company’s more than 14,000 U.S. restaurants, the vast majority of which are run by franchisees. McDonald’s and other fast-food chains, including Burger King and Wendy’s, have said they’re not responsible for employment decisions at franchised restaurants.McDonald’s workers detail job hazards AP PHOTOIn this Dec. 4, 2014, photo, people protest for higher wages outside a McDonald’s restaurant in the Little Havana area of Miami. BOSTON (AP) — Jurors in the trial of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Monday visited the bullet-riddled boat in which he was captured days after the deadly blast. The jurors walked around the outside of the boat and peered inside. Tsarnaev, anked by three attorneys and U.S. marshals, watched impassively from a table about 50 feet away. The red and white boat is covered with more than 100 bullet holes marked individually with small pieces of white evidence tape. One of the boat’s two front widows is shot out almost completely, with just one shattered piece of glass remaining. Jurors walked around the boat, taking notes, and then went two at a time onto a lift so they could look inside the vessel, which was on a trailer. Inside the boat, called the Slipaway II, they could see the note Tsarnaev wrote in which he denounced the U.S. for its wars in Muslim countries. The note, written in pencil, is speckled with at least 10 bullet holes and stained with long streaks of blood. Tsarnaev’s lawyer admitted during opening statements that he participated in the bombings and the later crimes, but said his slain older brother, Tamerlan, was the mastermind who recruited the then 19-year-old Dzhokhar to help him. Prosecutors say Tsarnaev was a full and willing participant. Now 21, he faces the possibility of the death penalty if convicted. The same jury that decides guilt will decide whether he receives life in prison or the death penalty. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured in the attack.Boston bombing jury sees bullet-riddled boat adno=50471075 k _, IlKG G;y itfNrrtt.yt}ri'y eeE i 5 ralaJJ suN I Charlotte SunHea._uygmat and -at owk-q,;/jyivvW.-awn w..erw ..mwww.c.........a w......r. ,.e^.en.. een.e..... ..6590-rt.Yt2Kgi"(f T I rr r f Don't forget to take us with you!

The Sun /Tuesday, March 17, 2015 www.sunnewspapers.net WIRE Page 3 STATE NEWSORLANDO (AP) — Long derided as a cultural wasteland, Orlando’s restaurant and performing arts scene has grown up in recent years, and it is starting to attract attention from national arbiters of taste. Wine Enthusiast magazine recently named Orlando as one of the nation’s top wine travel destinations, and The New York Times singled out the city’s food scene when it placed the city at No. 13 on its list of Places to Go in 2015.†Wise Bread, a website dedicated to pennypinchers, calls Orlando the nation’s top city for frugal foodies, and the real estate blog Movoto ranked Orlando the nation’s No. 2 city for creative people. The rankings barely mentioned what the city is best known for: theme parks. “Orlando was very synonymous, and still is, with the Mouse, and Disney, and people didn’t really look outside of Disney,†said James Petrakis, owner of The Ravenous Pig in the tiny Orlando suburb, Winter Park. “Now with some of these newer restaurants, people are looking at some of the smaller suburbs outside Disney for a true local culture.†Adding to the buzz about the cultural scene: a new $500 million performing arts center downtown, and an international hunt for a new symphony conductor that’s attracted some wellknown names. “We’ve gotten some national validation for things that we already thought were cool, but we thought they were cool just because it was something different for us. But now we know it’s cool here and it would be cool if it were in New York or San Francisco,†said Kamrin Rife, who with her husband, John, and others, opened the East End Market, which houses a collection of artisanal bakers, coffee brewers, sushi chefs and a Basque restaurant. Orlando always had a strong theater scene, thanks to the many actors who work at theme parks, and also several acclaimed annual festivals, such as the Bach Festival of Winter Park and a fringe theater festival. But the construction of the Dr. Phillips Center, nanced partially with taxes on tourists, gives the city a world-class venue for local performing arts groups and national touring acts. The hunt for a new musical director has led to sold-out shows as each of ve nalists performs. Audiences get to vote for their favorite in what locals are joking is the classical music equivalent of “American Idol.†The nalists include Eric Jacobsen, a member of Brooklyn Rider, one of the best known and most cuttingedge string quartets around, and MexicanAmerican conductor Alondra de la Parra. “All the candidates see the cultural community as on the cusp of something great,†said David Schillhammer, executive director of the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. There’s a pent-up demand for more dynamic cultural events, said Glen Gentele, director of the Orlando Museum of Art, which is exhibiting the work of sculpture and landscape artist Maya Lin, and Orlando’s arts patrons “are open and receptive to change.â€Orlando’s cultural scene grows up AP FILE PHOTOIn this Nov. 6, 2014, photo, visitors gather to listen to singers in the main lobby at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, in Orlando, Fla. LEHIGH ACRES (News-Press) — A Lehigh Acres family is shocked and terried after their grandfather was shot and killed after being tied up with his wife, beaten and had bleach poured on them. Hemchand Bhagwandin, 68, was killed during the home invasion Sunday night at 1113 Plumosa Ave. His wife, Sabitree Bhagwandin, 66, was injured and taken to an area hospital but released later Monday. According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Ofce, the couple were baby-sitting their 3-month-old granddaughter when the crime occurred. “We grew up together in the same house in Guyana,†said Chan Seelochan, 65, of Naples, a cousin of Bhagwandin. “It is shocking to the community,†he said. “It is very difcult for (the daughters). He was very family-oriented.†Seelochan said the family originally emigrated to Guyana in South America from India and then moved to the United States from Guyana years ago, moving to New York, then to LaBelle and then to Lehigh Acres. He said Bhagwandin was a retired auto mechanic. “He worked very hard in the cold and snow and ice up north,†he said. He said Bhagwandin also ran an auto shop in LaBelle that his son now runs. Seelochan could not fathom what had happened to his friend. “They were tied up and beaten,†he said. “Then they poured bleach on them.†He said the family emigrated to the United States for the opportunity. “You come to the place for something different and then the unexpected happens,†he said. “Stuff that doesn’t happen in Third World countries happens here.†Seelochan, here for 12 years and a Realtor in Bonita Springs, said it used to be quiet and beautiful here. He said Sabitree Bhagwandin is resting at the home of one of her daughters and is “very beaten up.†Because the Lehigh grandfather used to pick up his grandchildren from the school bus daily, Selochan said other arrangements would have to be made because “I don’t think they want to go back to that place.â€Killers poured bleach on tied-up grandpa | HEADLINE NEWS | FROM TALLAHASSEEFlorida bill would repeal law that bans shacking upTALLAHASSEE (AP) — About 1 million Floridians are breaking state law by committing lewd and lascivious acts and a state senator doesn’t want them to be punished for it. And the Senate Criminal Justice Committee unanimously agreed Monday when they approved Sen. Eleanor Sobel’s bill to repeal a law that makes it illegal for unmarried men and women to live together. Sobel said the law was enacted in 1868 and any one breaking it could be ned $500 and sentenced to 60 days in jail. A House version of the bill also was approved Monday by the Criminal Justice Subcommittee. Bill on guns, evacuations goes to Senate floorTALLAHASSEE (AP) — A bill allowing gun owners without concealed weapon permits to take their guns along during emergency evacuations appears to have a good chance of passing this year. The bill will go to the oor of the Florida Senate on Tuesday after getting approval in all three of its required committee stops. A Senate committee killed it last year. The state House passed the bill last year, and House committees have acted favorably on it this year. Past opponents of the measure, including the Florida Sheriff’s Association, back this year’s version after sponsors added stricter requirements, including a 48-hour time limit and a denition of evacuation. Last year, opponents mocked the bill, saying it would allow people to take their guns to a riot. when they approved Scott unlikely to get full school funding requestTALLAHASSEE (News Service of Florida) — House budget writers unveiled an education spending plan Monday that would provide public schools with almost $47 less per student than Gov. Rick Scott proposed, and a key senator said his chamber was also unlikely to meet the governor’s number when a Senate blueprint is released Tuesday. The two developments cast increasing doubt on one of Scott’s chief priorities only two weeks into the 60-day legislative session. The $7,129 per public-school student provided by the House Education Appropriations Subcommittee proposal would still be a record amount under the main formula used to bankroll elementary and secondary education. But it would barely pass the high-water mark, set in 2007-2008, of $7,126 a pupil and would fall far short of the $7,176 that Scott has sought.House rejects effort to repeal nuclear power feeTALLAHASSEE (AP) — State legislators are refusing to repeal a law that lets utility companies charge for future nuclear power plants. A House panel on Monday rejected a proposal by St. Petersburg Rep. Dwight Dudley to repeal the law. Utilities normally cannot begin billing customers for construction costs or upgrades until generating facilities go into service. But a 2006 law carved out an exception to that policy for nuclear power. Florida’s two largest power companies since that time have charged customers for nuclear power projects. But the fee has come under re since Duke Energy Florida was allowed to collect it even after the company said it was halting plans to build a plant in Levy County.State officials say unemployment system fixedTALLAHASSEE (AP) — State officials are insisting that Florida’s troubled system used by unemployed residents is fixed despite a scathing new audit. State legislators on Monday heard about an audit that found a long list of problems with the online system used to process unemployment claims. One Republican legislator called the problems a “nightmare.†The audit detailed problems with the processing of claims and questioned the requirement that applicants use Social Security numbers. adno=50479052 ItraveISMARTby Roundtree & YorkeOur most advancedperformance chino ever!Innovative fabric resists staining,fading, wrinkling and pillingNon-iron finish, permanent creasePleated or flat-front stylesUltimate Expander or Inno-Flexwaistband options1 Ultimate Expander available in khaki,dark navy, brownstone & blackInno-Flex available in khaki,dark navy, brownstone & black$40 EACHOR 2 FOR $66Big & Tall sizes $46 each or 2 for $76Big & Tall pleated or flat-front UltimateExpander in khaki, dark navyand brownstone.Your size GUARANTEEDIN STOCK or it's FREE*!Travel Smart chinosmmm mmmMMMMMMM ---m AliIndicates Big & Tall sizes M *If the chart shows your size, we guarantee to,y have it in stock in at least ONE of the colorslisted or they're free.

BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) — A bill for $1.40 sent out by a Maine water district almost a half-century ago has finally been returned. The Brunswick and Topsham Water District mailed the bill to a resident of Topsham in October 1969. The bill was supposed to be returned to the water district by the post office because the customer’s post office box had been closed. However, it didn’t find its way back to the district until last Tuesday, 46 years later. Linda Deacetis, the district’s executive secretary, tells The Times Record she was quite surprised to receive the bill. The district believes that the customer has since passed away. The bill had a 6-cent stamp on it.ODD NEWS Bill sent out in 1969 returned to water district Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst†said Durst had waved off his lawyer’s advice to stay quiet before granting them two lengthy interviews. They also say he knew he was being recorded throughout, and that they shared any evidence they gathered with police long before broadcasting the lm on HBO. Legal experts say the bathroom tape could become key evidence. “Any statement that the defendant makes that they want to use against him, they can use against him,†said Andrea Roth, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley. “Even if it’s sketchy, and only in context appears to make him look guilty.†Kerry Lawrence, a defense attorney in Westchester County, N.Y., said Durst’s lawyers will have to try to explain away his comments, perhaps dismissing them as a joke. “Prosecutors would argue it was a candid moment of self-reection, and he I assume will ar gue that he knew he was still being recorded, and this was either said in jest or he was being facetious or sarcastic or was being provocative,†Lawrence said. “I don’t think it’s quite the smoking gun.†The documentary showed lmmaker Andrew Jarecki confronting Durst with a copy of an anonymous letter that alerted Beverly Hills police to go look for a “cadaver†at Berman’s address. Durst offered that whoever sent it was “taking a big risk. You’re sending a letter to police that only the killer could have written.†Then, in the nal episode, Jarecki revealed another envelope, which Durst acknowledged mailing to Berman, that has similar writing in block letters and also misspelled the address as “Beverley.†‘’I wrote this one but I did not write the cadaver one,†Durst said. But when shown an enlargement of both copies, Durst couldn’t distinguish them. Former Westchester County prosecutor Jeanine Pirro seemed stunned when the lmmakers showed her Durst’s previously unknown letter to Berman, saying “the jig is up.†She believes it was her reopening of the cold case into Kathleen Durst’s 1982 disappearance that provoked the murder of Berman, who had been Durst’s condante. Now, she said, his own words can convict him. “It was a spontaneous statement, a classical exception to the hearsay rule,†Pirro told Fox’s “Good Day New York.†‘’I don’t hear it as a muttering. I hear it as a clear, unequivocal ‘I killed them.’ That means he killed his wife, he killed Susan Berman and he killed Morris Black.†Durst — still worth millions despite his estrangement from his family, whose New York real estate empire is worth about $4 billion — has maintained his innocence in three killings in as many states. He was acquitted by a Texas jury in the 2001 dismemberment killing of his elderly neighbor, whose body parts were found oating in Galveston Bay. Lawyers said Durst — who ed Texas and was brought back to trial after being caught shoplifting in Pennsylvania — killed Morris Black in self-defense. Durst, however, admitted using a paring knife, two saws and an ax to dismember the body, and that may result in a delay of his transfer to Los Angeles, because he was arrested with a revolver on Saturday. That’s illegal for felons, and Durst did prison time after pleading guilty to evidence tamper ing and jumping bail.MURDERFROM PAGE 1 captured territory mainly in Iraq’s predominantly Sunni provinces last year. They receive weapons and supplies from the Iraqi government, much of which al-Jabouri said originates from Iran, which is providing enormous support to Iraqi security forces, training, advising and equipping ghters on the battleeld. The offensive to retake Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit began March 2. The city is one of the largest held by the Islamic State militants on the road connected Baghdad and Mosul. Iraqi Interior Minister Mohammed Salem al-Ghabban said Monday that the campaign had halted temporarily to allow civilians in the city to evacuate and to enable troops to clear roadside bombs planted by the extremists. Sunni grievances have grown since the U.S.-led invasion toppled Saddam in 2003 and handed power to the long-oppressed Shiite majority. Under former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the Sunnis complained of discrimination by the Shiites, saying they were neglected or exploited through corruption. Over the course of the eight-year U.S. occupation, militants from al-Qaida tried to capitalize on the Sunni grievances, and those extremists soon morphed into the organization that now calls itself the Islamic State group. Many of the Sunni tribesmen eventually fought back. Members formed ad hoc militias known as Sahwa, or Awakening Councils. The movement was supported by Washington, which sought to empower locals entrenched in some of the insurgent group’s biggest strongholds. But commitment soon waned from the U.S. and Iraqi governments, and the movement quickly lost momentum. The extremists of Islamic State rampaged across northern and western Iraq last summer, looking to capitalize on the grievances and claimed to offer an alter native to the oppression felt by many in the Sunni heartland. Those Sunni tribesmen who remained opposed to the group’s ideology — like al-Jabouri — were targeted. With the support of the U.S.-led coalition ghting the extremists, the government of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has tried to empower Sunnis by establishing a national guard — a force some see as reminiscent of the failed Sahwa movement. In vast Anbar province in western Iraq, about 5,000 tribesmen are onboard with government efforts to ght the IS group. The tribesmen receive arms and nancial compensation. But many Sunnis have not been won over, and with tribes often numbering 30,000 to 40,000 people, the effort has a long way to go.UNITESFROM PAGE 1 product placement deals a company might have with TV shows. “We have a network of dietitians we work with,†said Sheidler, who declined to say how much the company pays experts. “Every big brand works with bloggers or has paid talent.†Other companies including Kellogg and General Mills have used strategies like providing continuing education classes for dietitians, funding studies that burnish the nutritional images of their products and offering newsletters for health experts. PepsiCo Inc. has also worked with dietitians who suggest its Frito-Lay and Tostito chips in local TV segments on healthy eating. Others use nutrition experts in sponsored content; the American Pistachio Growers has quoted a dietitian for the New England Patriots in a piece on healthy snacks and recipes and Nestle has quoted its own executive in a post about infant nutrition. For Coca-Cola Co., the public relations strategy with health experts in February focused on the theme of “Heart Health & Black History Month.†The effort yielded a radio segment and multiple online pieces. One post refers to a “refreshing beverage option such as a mini can of Coca-Cola.†Another suggests “portion-controlled versions of your favorites, like Coca-Cola mini cans, packs of almonds or pre-portioned desserts for a meal.†The focus on the smaller cans isn’t sur prising. Sugary drinks have come under re for fueling obesity rates and related ills, and the last time Coke’s annual U.S. soda volume increased was in 2002, according to the industry tracker Beverage Digest. More recently, the company is pushing its mini-cans as a guilt-free way to enjoy cola. The cans also fetch higher prices on a per ounce basis, so even if people are drinking less soda, Coke says it can grow sales. In a statement, CocaCola said it wants to “help people make decisions that are right for them†and that like others in the industry, it works with health experts “to help bring context to the latest facts and science around our products and ingredients.†It said any communications by the experts it works with contain the appropriate disclosures. Most of the pieces suggesting mini-Cokes say in the bios that the author is a “consultant†for food companies, including Coca-Cola. Some add that the ideas expressed are their own. One column is marked at the bottom as a “sponsored article,†which is an ad designed to look like a regular story. It ran on more than 1,000 sites, including those of major news outlets around the country. COKEFROM PAGE 1 move,†he was quoted as saying. Kerry and Zarif met for nearly ve hours in Lausanne, the start of several planned days of discussions. Most of the Iranians then departed for Brussels, where they were to meet with European negotiators. In Brussels, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said that “we are entering a crucial time, a crucial two weeks.†And German Foreign Minister FrankWalter Steinmeier said that after “more than 10 years of negotiations, we should seize this opportunity.†“There are areas where we’ve made progress, areas where we have yet to make any progress,†British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said. “But the fact that we’re all here talking shows the commitment on both sides to try to reach an agreement.†In Lausanne, the U.S. ofcial wouldn’t say how much time the sides spent talking about the letter drafted seven days ago by freshman Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and signed by 46 other GOP senators. The Iranians have called the letter a propaganda ploy, and Zarif joked last week that some U.S. legislators didn’t understand their own Constitution. The Obama administration has called the letter “ill timed†and “ill advised,†coming weeks before the deadline for a preliminary agreement with Iran on its nuclear program. Cotton isn’t backing down. In his maiden speech in the Senate, Cotton reiterated his view that the deal being discussed would pave Iran’s path to a nuclear bomb. “Iran is an outlaw regime. ... Unsurprising, Iran is only growing bolder and more aggressive as America retreats from the Middle East,†Cotton said, adding that Iranian leaders continue to call for Israel’s elimination and that Iran is meddling in other nations, including Syria and Iraq. The U.S. ofcial in Lausanne, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, said that in the end, the talks and a potential agreement depend on Iran showing the world that its nuclear program is exclusively peaceful. The goal for a full agreement is the end of June.LETTERFROM PAGE 1 GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Scientists say they have found that some sh can survive in low-oxygen dead zones that are expanding in deep waters off the West Coast as the climate changes. While the overall number and kinds of sh in those zones are declining, some species appear able to ride it out, according to a study published this month in the journal Fisheries Oceanography. The study focused on catches from 2008 through 2010 of four species of deepwater groundsh — Dover sole, petrale sole, spotted ratsh and greenstriped rocksh. Catches of ratsh and petrale sole both declined in low-oxygen areas, while catches of greenstriped rocksh and Dover sole showed no changes. Dover sole are well-known for being adapted to low oxygen, but greenstriped rocksh are not. Oregon State University oceanographer Jack Barth, a coauthor, says commercial shermen will likely start taking oxygen levels into account as they decide where to tow their nets. “It’s rearranging that ocean geography,†Barth said of the low-oxygen conditions. “If you go out to a spot where you’ve always gone before commercial shing, and you don’t catch what you expect, is it because the oxygen has gone low and things moved someplace else?†Dead zones were rst noticed off Oregon in 2002, where they peaked in 2006, and have since spread to Washington and California waters. Some, such as where the Mississippi River ows into the Gulf of Mexico, are caused by agricultural runoff. On the West Coast, scientists have demonstrated they are triggered by climate change. North winds cause the ocean to turn over, drawing cold low-oxygen water up from the depths. Conditions get worse as tiny plants, known as phytoplankton, are drawn to the surface, where sunshine triggers a population explosion. As they die, they sink and use up more oxygen as they decompose. Underwater videos have shown crabs and other slow-moving bottom-dwellers in shallow waters die, but scientists from NOAA Fisheries Service and Oregon State wanted to know what happened to sh. NOAA Fisheries was already chartering shing trawlers to do annual surveys of groundsh populations off the West Coast. They equipped the nets with oxygen sensors. Lead study author Aimee Keller, a sheries biologist for the NOAA Fisheries Service’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, said scientists ultimately want to see whether sh forced out of preferred habitats grow more slowly, are less successful reproducing, and whether other species adapted to low-oxygen conditions move in. The next step, she said, is to expand the surveys to include more commercially important species. Tim Essington, professor of sheries at the University of Washington, was not part of the study but said it was signicant for covering a large geographic area, and was consistent with what has been seen in estuaries. He added he expects sh to congregate along the edges of low-oxygen zones, where predators will be able to feed on less active sh inside the zone. NOAA oceanographer Bill Peterson, who was not part of the study, said there was no doubt that low-oxygen waters were expanding, but it was a slow process that would take decades to be felt.Study: Some fish can live in low-oxygen dead zones aaaaQ40BBory9fbBr31cW o

The Sun /Tuesday, March 17, 2015 www.sunnewspapers.net WIRE Page 5 WORLD NEWS | WORLD BRIEFSGreek state finances wilt as talks grind onATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece has slipped back into decit so far this year, new gures showed Monday. But the country’s left-wing Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras ruled out any trouble paying public sector workers’ salaries or state-backed pensions. The central government’s cash balance was 684 million euros ($723.12 million) in decit for the rst two months of the year, compared with a surplus of 139 million euros ($146.95 million) in the same period of 2014, the central bank said. Before interest pay ments on debt, the so-called primary surplus for the two-month period fell to 503 million euros ($531.8 million) from 1.68 billion euros ($1.78 billion) a year ago.UK Kennel Club says tests show dog was poisoned in BelgiumLONDON (AP) — Toxicology tests show that the Irish Setter who died after appearing at Britain’s top dog show was almost certainly poisoned after the contest, organizers said Monday. The Kennel Club, which runs the world-famous Crufts show, said the tests showed that the dog, known as Jagger, died on March 7 after returning to his home in Belgium of fast-acting poisons that usually would cause symptoms within three to four hours. That would rule out a poisoning at Crufts, which took place March 5. “It is highly likely that the poisons, thought to be on a piece of beef, were eaten in Belgium, shortly before Jagger’s death,†the club said of the results. The dog ingested aldicarb and carbofuran, two insecticides used in agriculture but not approved in the European Union, the club said.Putin reappears in joking mood after 10-day absenceST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Looking t and joking about all the fuss over his unexplained 10-day absence from public view, President Vladimir Putin reappeared on Monday to quell the swirling speculation about the state of his health and his hold on power. “It would be dull without gossip,†Putin said with a smile during a meeting with Kyrgyzstan’s president, Almazbek Atambayev, at St. Petersburg’s ornate Konstantin Palace. Atambayev had just said that he wanted to put an end to the unpleasant gossip, describing how Putin had driven him around the palace’s park and thus “not only walks, but speeds around.†Before Monday’s appearance, Putin was last seen in public on March 5, when he hosted Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. UK police bail 3 teens held on way to Syria, arrest new teenLONDON (AP) — British police, under pressure to stem the ow of would-be militants eager to join the Islamic State group, on Monday arrested an 18-year-old man suspected of planning to travel to Syria. Hours earlier, they freed on bail three other U.K. teens detained in Turkey, allegedly on their way to link up with the extremist group. The arrests are signs of increasingly strenuous efforts by police to stop the ow of radicalized young Britons to the Middle East. Detectives have been criticized for failing to prevent three 15and 16-year-old London girls from making the same journey last month.EU reopens Bosnia’s path toward membershipSARAJEVO, BosniaHerzegovina (AP) — European Union foreign ministers have unblocked Bosnia’s stalled member ship bid by agreeing to implement a pre-accession agreement with the troubled Balkan nation seven years after it had been reached. Monday’s decision comes less than a month after Bosnia’s parliament adopted an EU-required economic and social reform plan that could end a long period of stagnation in one of Europe’s poorest nations. The implementation of the agreement entails increased EU assistance to Bosnia and strengthening of political and economic ties between the country and the 28-nation bloc. But EU foreign ministers, meeting in Brussels, have warned Bosnia that it must achieve “meaningful progress†in the implementation of reforms before it can formally apply for membership.Cameroonian forces attack Boko Haram in NigeriaYAOUNDE, Cameroon (AP) — Cameroonian troops attacked Nigeria’s Boko Haram Islamic extremists in a Nigerian village, killing several of the militants and destroy ing some of their equipment, a military ofcial said Monday. The forces entered Nigeria after residents of Ndaba in Borno state said Boko Haram militants were massing in the hills around the village and planning an attack, said Col. Jacob Kodji. Several militants were killed in the ghting Thursday and Friday near Ndaba, about 12 miles from the Cameroonian border, said Kodji. He would not give an exact number of casualties and did not say whether any Cameroonian forces were killed or wounded. Other militants ed and some may be hiding out in Ndaba, he said.Belgium detains several in diamond heist caseBRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian authorities are hoping they have made a major breakthrough in solving a heist of diamonds and gems worth some $42 million at Brussels’ international airport two years ago. After a series of raids early Monday, authorities briey detained several suspects and were analyzing goods that could be linked to the brazen theft, which ranks as one of the biggest diamond heists in memory. On Feb. 18, 2013, eight gunmen cut a fence around Brussels airport, drove onto the tarmac where an armored car was transferring the gems onto a Zurich-bound airplane and drove off again with the loot. Even though 14 have already been charged for direct and indirect involvement in the case, over 30 million euros in gems are still missing. IRBIL, Iraq (AP) — Kurdish forces in Iraq are investigating two other possible chemical weapons attacks by the Islamic State group, a top ofcial said Monday, as authorities put on an Iraqi offensive to retake Saddam Hussein’s hometown on hold. The two purported chemical weapon assaults resemble one claimed Saturday by Kurdish officials who say an independent laboratory concluded the militants used chlorine gas against its peshmerga forces in a Jan. 23 truck suicide attack. However, their claims were not immediately verified by inter national authorities. Iraqi ofcials and Kurds ghting in Syria have made similar allegations about the militants using the low-grade chemical weapons against them. The Islamic State group, which controls a third of Syria and Iraq in its self-declared caliphate, has not commented on the claims. Gen. Aziz Wesi, in charge of a Kurdish special forces brigade, told journalists Monday that authorities declined to immediately discuss the two newly announced attacks when they happened on Dec. 26 and Jan. 18 out of fears of causing a panic. Kurdish ofcials have offered footage of the aftermath of the Dec. 26 attack, which shows ghters coughing and pouring water over their heads after another suicide truck bombing that authorities say wounded some 60 men. “I put a wet scarf on my face because when I saw the gas, I felt it,†said Capt. Mohammad Sewdin, who leads the Kurdish special forces unit targeted in the December attack. “I was afraid it might be something like (chemical weapons). So I told my men to do the same.†Sewdin told The Associated Press he was temporarily blinded for six hours after the attack and coughed up blood. He and others were hospitalized. On Saturday, the Kurdistan Region Security Council offered video and lab results it said proved the Islamic State group used chlorine in the Jan. 23 suicide truck bomb. There has been no independent confirmation of any of the Kurds’ claims. Peter Sawczak, a spokesman for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which has monitored Syria dismantling its chemical weapons stockpile, said Monday that no member state had requested an investigation into the Kurdish claims.Kurds probe 2 possible Islamic State chemical weapon attacks AP PHOTOYoung volunteer militia pose for a picture before going into battle against Islamic State ghters in Tikrit, 80 miles north of Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday. KIEV (Bloomberg) — Ex-Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said his efforts to persuade the U.S. administration to arm Ukraine are bear ing fruit as cross-party pressure intensies on President Barack Obama. “I believe the U.S. will supply the weapons,†Saakashvili, who’s working as an adviser to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, said in an interview in Kiev. “What gives me hope is the fact that the opinion of U.S. society and the political elite is rm on this idea. Almost every one in Congress as well as in the Senate supports it, and the Pentagon and intelligence community want it.†The issue of arming Ukraine hasn’t gone away amid a shaky truce in the nation’s border regions with Russia, which denies stoking a yearlong insurgency there. U.S. lawmakers from both parties spoke out last week in favor of lethal aid to Ukraine. Saakashvili, who struck an alliance for his Black Sea country with the U.S. and sought NATO membership, provoking a 2008 war with Russia, has been lobbying lawmakers in Washington. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, who heads the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Europe, said there was “no question†among Republicans and Democrats on the panel that the U.S. should do more. “I want to begin by sharing the frustration†on the committee “about the slowness with which we’re providing assistance to Ukraine,†Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-New Hampshire, said. Saakashvili complained in 2008 of an “inadequate†response by the U.S. and its allies to Georgia’s ve-day conict with Russia, which he accused of provoking hostilities by amassing troops nearby. In Ukraine, he predicts the collapse of a peace accord brokered last month by Germany and France, and a renewed offensive by pro-Russian rebels. “Russia will hit the south of Ukraine soon and the weapons must be given soon as there is no peace agreement,†said Saakashvili, whose relationship with Russia has never recovered. He left ofce in 2013 and is wanted in Georgia on charges he says are driven by the nation’s new leaders. While Obama and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry have been willing to give the cease-re struck Feb. 12 in the Belarusian capital of Minsk a chance, members of Congress and military ofcials in the U.S. have stepped up demands to bolster support for Ukraine with “lethal defensive weapons.†German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier visited Washington last week in an effort to counter the growing U.S. pressure to ship weapons to Ukraine, arguing that the ceasere with Russian-backed rebels needs time to take hold. While fighting in eastern Ukraine has subsided since the truce that took effect Feb. 15, there have been continual violations, with new casualties nearly every day. The skirmishes show some heavy arms are still in use, even after a pact to pull back the weapons, monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe reported Thursday.Former Georgia leader: Congress will arm Ukraine adno=50479035 I mASKA14-DAY PRICES FROM LARGE INSIDE CABIN wPERPERSON DBL.

My broker says this is an “excellent speculative stock,†and he’s very enthusiastic about it. He wants his clients to own it and wants me to buy 1,000 shares on margin. Please explain margin, as I don’t understand how it works. My individual retirement account is worth $191,000. He suggests that I borrow $42,000 from his brokerage, using the stocks in my $191,000 IRA as collateral, and then buy 1,000 shares of Chimerix, which he believes will double in less than a year. — NC, Port Charlotte, Fla. Dear NC: I think this jerk ought to get a job cutting holes in Swiss cheese. This wouldn’t be a suitable investment for you. Chimerix (CMRX-$42) is among the thousands of biopharmaceutical companies that develop, discover and commercialize unique antivirals and then search the world for new diseases their drugs can cure. CMRX came public at $15 in early 2013 with zero revenues, rising steadily to $24 12 months later. Then, as the Ebola virus started making headlines worldwide, frenzied traders began circling CMRX, pushing it above $42. They suggest that its new antiviral, Brincidofovir, will cure the Ebola curse. But CMRX, like most of these development-stage biopharmaceuticals, has signicant overhead costs (staff, rent, utilities, equipment, etc.) and burns through money like the Pentagon. Last November, CMRX had to raise $105 million of new money via a secondary offering of 2.5 million shares. How can a company with hundreds of millions in losses have a market cap of $1.55 billion (37 million shares times $42)? Now, each of the seven analysts who follow CMRX rates it a “buy.†But I know two of them, and I don’t respect their new metrics. It seems the “old math†used by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd (revenues, prot and loss statements, and balance sheets) is too conservative for today’s analysts. Still, in my way of thinking, investment decisions without Graham and Dodd’s data are like driving eastbound in the westbound lanes on an LA freeway — at night. Even if you’re still gungho on CMRX, I wouldn’t buy 1,000 shares, especially on margin. Consider selling some of your weak issues and buying 200 shares of CMRX with cash. Using margin (leverage) allows you to increase your share position, but the ip side of the coin is you can also increase your losses. I won’t object to a 200-share CMRX speculation, but buying 1,000 shares would be excessive for a $191,000 portfolio. I believe that your broker has cranial leptospirosis. The brokerage industry, searching for new revenue sources, encourages brokers to push margin accounts, which are securities-based loans. Bank of America Merrill Lynch, with 14,500 stockbrokers, is the largest securities lender on the Street. And to encourage its people to open loan accounts, Merrill told its covey of brokers that it would double their base payout for new assets in 2015. At the end of the year, that will be a lot of moola. Meanwhile, UBS, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo are also encouraging their brokers to offer margin accounts to their clients. And they, too, will double their brokers’ commissions. Margin accounts create more risk in a client’s portfolio. So when markets decline, many of these clients could be up the river without a paddle. Opening a margin account is a simple process. Just sign a couple of standard forms, called a loan agreement, prepared en masse by slick Wall Street lawyers earning $1,200 an hour. Don’t bother reading the agreement, because you’re not supposed to under stand it. After signing the papers and pledging your retirement comfort, the brokerage can immediately lend you 50 percent of the account’s market value. In this instance, you have the capacity to borrow (50 percent of $191,000) $95,500. So if you were to purchase 1,000 shares of CMRX at $42, the broker would lend you $42,000 using your $191,000 account as collateral. Your account would then have a market value of ($191,000 plus $42,000) $233,000, but you would owe the broker $42,000. And for the privilege of borrowing $42,000 from your broker, even discount brokerages such as Charles Schwab charge rip-off interest costs of at least 8 percent. Subprime car loans are cheaper than that. Email Malcolm Berko at mjberko@yahoo.com. Chimerix, margin accounts Malcolm Berko NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks bounced back on Monday after losing ground for three weeks as the dollar’s rally against the euro abated. Elsewhere in nancial markets, oil closed at a six-year low, below $44 a barrel, as supplies continue to outpace demand. Treasurys gained after some mixed reports on the economy. The stock market has stumbled in recent weeks as the dollar has surged against the euro. The U.S. currency has been rising on expectations that the Federal Reserve will start to raise interest rates even as the European Central Bank continues to provide stimulus to that region’s economy. A stronger dollar is a problem for big U.S. companies that rely on overseas sales because it makes their goods more expensive in foreign markets and reduces the value of the prots they bring back home to the U.S. “The dollar was weaker today, which was helpful,†said Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential Financial. “There’s no doubt that the stronger dollar has been impeding sales.†The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 27.79 points, or 1.4 percent, to 2,081.19. It was the biggest gain for the index in six weeks. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 228.11 points, or 1.3 percent, to 17,977.42. The Nasdaq composite jumped 57.75 points, or 1.2 percent, to 4,929.51. The focal point this week for investors is the Fed’s two-day policy meeting that starts on Tuesday. Many investors and analysts expect the U.S. central bank will signal in a statement after the meeting that they are considering raising interest rates later this year. US stocks gain, rebounding after weeks of losses WASHINGTON (AP) — For the Federal Reserve, patience may no longer be a virtue. Surrounding the Fed’s policy meeting this week is the widespread expectation that it will no longer use the word “patient†to describe its stance on raising interest rates from record lows. The big question is: What will that mean? Many economists say the dropping of “patience†would signal that the Fed plans to start raising rates in June to reect a steadily strengthening U.S. job market. Others foresee no rate hike before September. And a few predict no increase before year’s end at the earliest. Complicating the decision is a surging U.S. dollar, which is keeping ination far below the Fed’s target rate and posing a threat to U.S. corporate prots and possibly to the economy. A rate increase could send the dollar even higher. In a statement it will issue when its meeting ends Wednesday and in a news conference Chair Janet Yellen will hold afterward, the Fed isn’t likely to telegraph its timetable. Yellen has said that any decision to raise rates will reect the latest economic data and that the Fed must remain exible. Still, nervous investors have been selling stocks out of concern that a rate increase — which could slow borrowing and spending and weigh on the economy — is coming soon. “I think the odds are better than 50/50 that the Fed ... will drop the word ‘patient’ at the March meeting, and that would put an initial rate hike in play, perhaps as early as the June meeting,†said David Jones, author of several books about the Fed. Historically, the Fed raises rates as the economy strengthens in order to control growth and prevent ination from overheating. Over the past 12 months, U.S. employers have added a solid 200,000-plus jobs every month. And unemployment has reached a seven-year low of 5.5 percent, the top of the range the Fed has said is consistent with a healthy economy. The trouble is that the Fed isn’t meeting its other major policy goal — achieving stable ination, which it denes as annual price increases of around 2 percent. What if Fed no longer says it’s ‘patient’ on rates? 10 0

(AP) — The starving sea lion pup was so tiny that it looked like a rock at the base of the seaside cliff until it struggled to raise its head as humans approached. It bleated weakly as volunteer Brennan Slavik eased it into a crate for transport to a rescue center, where it peered from a child’s playpen with woeful eyes made enormous by an emaciated frame. At almost a year, the pup weighed just 23 pounds — a third of what it should — and staff quietly took it to a private room, euthanized it and moved on. It’s a scenario playing out daily in California this year as rescue centers struggle to keep up with hundreds of sick and starving sea lion pups washing up along the coast. More than 1,100 pups have been rescued since January from beaches, but also from inside public restrooms, behind buildings and along railroad tracks. It’s not unusual to have some sea lions wash up each spring as the pups leave their mothers, but so far, the number of stranded babies is ve times greater than in 2013, the worst season in recent memory. “These animals are coming in really desper ate. They’re at the end of life. They’re in a crisis ... and not all animals are going to make it,†said Keith A. Matassa, executive director at the Pacic Marine Mammal Center, which is current ly rehabilitating 115 sea lion pups. The situation is so bad that Sea World suspended its sea lion show so it can focus on rescue efforts. The theme park has treated 400 pups — more than twice the number it would care for in a typical year — and constructed two tem porary pools to house them. Scientists aren’t sure what’s causing the crisis, but suspect that warmer waters from this winter’s mild El Nino weather pattern are impacting the sea lion birthing grounds along the Channel Islands off the Southern California coast. The warm water is likely pushing prime sea lion foods — market squid, sardines and anchovies — farther north, forcing the mothers to abandon their pups for up to eight days at a time in search of sustenance. The pups, scientists believe, are weaning themselves early out of desperation and setting out on their own despite being underweight and ill-prepared to hunt. Sea lions wouldn’t nor mally start showing up in large numbers until April or May but this year, rescue centers began to get calls in December, said Matassa. “They’re leaving with a very low tank of gas and when they get over here, they’re showing up on the beach basically ... starving to death,†said Justin Viezbicke, a coordinator with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s California Stranding Network. For rescue centers like the one in Laguna Beach, that translates into round-the-clock, back-breaking work for dozens of volunteers who’ve arrived from all over the U.S. to help. The center in one of Southern California’s premiere beach communities has rescued more than 213 pups since the beginning of the year and has treated some that weighed as little as 14 pounds at eight months old. Pups that should be gaining 20 to 40 pounds in a two-month period have put on just 2 pounds, Matassa said.Starving sea lion pups stranding on California beaches AP PHOTOFrom left, Kirsten Sedlick, Daniel Connor, Ashley Cook and Brennan Slavik tube-feed the rescued sea lion pups at the Pacic Marine Mammal Center, Monday, March 2, 2015, in Laguna Beach, Calif. Since January, more than 1,100 starving and sickly sea lion pups have washed up along California’s coast. Rescue centers have taken in about 800 but are stretched thin by the demand. NEW YORK (AP) — A playful picture book about a little girl named Heather and her two happy mommies was a cultural and legal ashpoint 25 years ago, angering conservatives over the morality of samesex parenting and landing libraries at the center of community battles over placement in the children’s stacks. Today, Heather — of “Heather Has Two Mommies†— has a lot more company in books for young kids about different kinds of families, but hers was out of print and seemed visually dated. That’s why creator Leslea Newman decided on a new version, updating the look of her watershed story with fresh illustrations from a new artist and tweaking the text to streamline. There’s one big change, but you have to squint to notice: Heather’s Mama Kate and Mama Jane wear little matching rings on their marriage ngers. “I don’t specically say that they’re married but they are,†Newman explained from her home just outside Northampton, Mass. “I don’t know where I could have smoothly inserted that into the text. That’s not what the story is about. The story is really about Heather.†Heather was Newman’s rst picture book and is certainly her most wellknown. The latest edition, out this month, is from Candlewick Press, with illustrations by Laura Cornell replacing those of Diana Souza. Newman wrote the story in 1988 after a chance encounter in Northampton with Amy Jacobson, a lesbian mom who was looking for reading material that better reected her life with her partner — now wife — and their young daughter — now grown. “Every step I was educating people about our family because there was nothing else,†recalled Jacobson. “If I hadn’t done it somebody else would have found an author. The book needed to happen.†Newman, a full-time writer and poet at the time, chronicles Heather’s love of all things “two,†including her moms, one a doctor and the other a carpenter. When Heather joins a home-based play group — changed to “school†in the new version — she is saddened when teacher Molly reads the children a story at nap time focused on a daddy. As the children chime in with their fathers’ occupations, Heather bemoans, “I don’t have a daddy,†when asked what hers does for a living. The original story has her tearing up as she wonders if any other family looks like hers. The update has the children chiming in with the work of their mommies AND daddies, and it eliminates Heather’s tears.Watershed ‘two mommies’ book gets freshened up 50477202 6Owww.punkrgor8oc64m corn

Not necessarily, he said. “You know, being the rst pick to me, it’s not a huge thing,†Mariota said in an interview posted on the team’s website during his visit Monday to One Buc Place. “I would love to play for the Bucs.

Maybe. So far, 34 game plans to defeat the Wildcats have been put together. Every one of them fell short. There’s no shortage of theories on how to beat them — spread them out, pack the paint, shoot plenty of 3’s, attack the rim — which all sound good, but none have actually panned out for an entire game on the oor. If someone’s going to actually throw the upset punch, now’s the time. No. 1 Kentucky (34-0) is the top overall seed going into the NCAA Tournament, the favorite to win it all and become the rst undefeated national champion in the men’s game since Indiana in 1976. “Let me tell you, it’s a one-game shot,†Kentucky coach John Calipari said. “Foul trouble, struggle, injury, have a bad game, someone else play out of their minds, which we have seen happen with us. It’s not best-of-ve. It’s one and done.†True, if someone makes 10 3-pointers, or scores 40, or the Wildcats all go cold simultaneously, millions of brackets will Unbeatable?By TIM REYNOLDSASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NCAA TournamentBlueprint to beat Kentucky exists, but the team that can do it may notWichita State vs. KansasWichita State coach Gregg Marshall has been trying for years to schedule a game against Kansas, the basketball powerhouse just a couple hours’ drive from the Shockers’ campus. The Jayhawks have refused, insisting they have nothing to gain from a series against the Missouri Valley school. But if the seventh-seeded Shockers take care of Indiana, and the second-seeded Jayhawks beat New Mexico State, the schools will meet in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.Steve Fisher vs. Coach KIf top-seeded Duke handles its opening game against the winner of North FloridaRobert Morris, and No. 8 seed San Diego State beats St. John’s, it would set up a secondround rematch of the coaches involved in the 1992 national championship game. Mike Krzyzewski is still in charge of the Blue Devils, and Steve Fisher has led the Aztecs to six consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances after he was fired by Michigan following a series of NCAA violations.Notre Dame vs. ButlerAll eyes in the Hoosier State will be on this matchup between the Fighting Irish, the ACC Tournament champions from South Bend, and the Bulldogs, who call Indianapolis home. Despite playing numerous times, the schools have never met in the NCAA Tournament. Notre Dame merely has to take care of Northeastern to reach the second round, but the Bulldogs face a taller task in Texas — and its imposing front line of Myles Turner, Cameron Ridley and Prince Ibeh. Virginia vs. Michigan St.Once again, the Cavaliers did enough in the regular season to earn a top-two seed. Once again, their road to the Final Four could include Michigan State. The Spartans were a No. 4 seed when they knocked off top-seeded Virginia in the regional semifinals last season. This time, Michigan State is a No. 7 seed and will have to beat Georgia in its opening game for the chance to play the second-seeded Cavaliers. Virginia will have to beat Belmont to set up the rematch in the second round.

His third came in front of 30 to 40 minor leaguers, scouts and coaches on the back elds at Charlotte Sports Complex. While the rest of his Tampa Bay Rays teammates were enjoying the team’s rst off day, Odorizzi was at the complex pitching in a minor league intrasquad game. The righthander threw four innings against a team of farmhands Monday morning, giving up one unearned run on three hits and two walks. “I thought today went really well,†said Odorizzi, who threw 61 pitches (37 strikes). “You don’t know how these things will go, but I thought, overall, it was really benecial. I got to work on a lot of stuff that you wouldn’t work on in a spring training game.†Having pitchers throw in a minor league intrasquad allows the Rays to control the setting and the pitchers to try things they wouldn’t do even a regular spring game. It’s something that manager Kevin Cash said he might have more pitchers do later in the spring.

TAMPA — Steven Stamkos had two goals and added an assist and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-2 Monday night in a matchup of the Atlantic Division’s top teams. Both have 93 points, but Montreal has played one fewer game. Valtteri Filppula and Victor Hedman also scored for the Lightning, who have outscored Montreal 16-5 in winning all four games between the teams this season. Montreal, which lost for the sixth time in eight games (2-4-2), got goals from Tomas Plekanec and Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau. Stamkos secured the win with his 39th goal, an empty-net power-play goal with 1:05 to play. Filppula opened the scoring during a power play at 10:07 of the rst when his right circle shot was redirected by a sliding Montreal defenseman Andrei Markov past Carey Price. Max Pacioretty made an ill-advised pass from neutral ice back into the Canadiens zone that Stamkos stole and made it 2-0 from the right circle with 4:02 left in the rst. Hedman put the Lightning up 3-0 after skating alone down the slot 2:45 into the second. Plekanec tied Larry Robinson for 23rd place on the Montreal goals list with 197 after a power-play tally at 11:10 of the second. Parenteau cut the Montreal decit to 3-2 just 34 seconds into the third from the low slot after Plekanec stole goalie Ben Bishop’s pass behind the net. The Canadiens had P.K Subban’s drive hit the post and Pacioretty’s breakaway shot stopped by Bishop during a six-minute stretch after Parenteau’s goal.LIGHTNING 4, CANADIENS 2Montreal 0 1 1 — 2 LIGHTNING 2 1 1 — 4 First Period, LIGHTNING, Filppula 12 (Hedman, Stamkos), 10:07 (pp). 2, Tampa Bay, Stamkos 38, 15:58.

Matt Niskanen had two assists for the Capitals, who overcame a pair of one-goal deficits. Curtis Glencross and Mike Green also scored for Washington (38-23-10), which matched last season’s win total and opened a four-point edge over eighth-place Boston in the Eastern Conference standings. Braden Holtby made 30 saves in his 14th consecutive start, and was coming off a 2-0 shutout over the Bruins on Sunday.

Dungy hired Smith as a linebackers coach in 1995 on his inaugural staff, and has compared Mariota’s skill set to that of Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. “It’s a blessing to be here today and I’m very thankful,†Mariota, 21, said. “It’ll be fun to get to know some of their coaches and see the facility.†Mariota’s visit comes after Licht attended his pro day at Oregon last week, with Bajakian and director of player personnel Jon Robinson. The Bucs promoted Mariota’s visit on social media with pictures and quotes, much as they did when Winston visited. The trip provided a chance for Mariota, who seldom played under center in the Ducks’ spread option offense, to demonstrate how much he understands about the NFL game. “Of course, this is an opportunity to kind of show how much you know mentally,†Mariota said. “You know, it’s going to be one of those times where you get to kind of talk about football and I’ve been looking forward to it. “And that’s going to be huge. Again, it’s an opportunity to kind of market yourself and show how much you know.†Mariota’s humility is well documented, and he is not as extroverted as Winston. But Mariota’s response to whether it’s important for him to go No. 1 overall was in contrast to what Winston said at the NFL scouting combine last month. Winston said at the time: “It’s important because I know how hard I’ve worked and it would be a privilege to get accepted by the Glazer family in Tampa. I know I have to gain their trust. I know I have to gain a lot of people’s trust. But whatever happens, this is just my opportunity and I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity because this is what I dream of. I dream of being a Hall of Famer one day and I dream of being the face of someone’s franchise.†Winston, 21, is widely regarded as the more pro-ready quarterback but the Bucs will have a private workout with Mariota in April and have more time to spend with him before the NFL draft next month.BUCSFROM PAGE 1 Awlawli y fTM.................................................................................................................................................................

He also threw rst-pitch curveballs to eight batters in a row at one point during the start, and said his new hybrid cutter pitch was the best it has felt all spring. The righthander gave up a walk and a double in the rst three innings. He gave up an unearned run in the fourth on a single, double and an error in left eld. However, he escaped a basesloaded jam with a 5 -43 double play to end the inning. Odorizzi pitched to catcher Luke Maile and had shortstop HakJu Lee and second baseman Ryan Brett in the eld behind him. Catcher Justin O’Conner and shortstop Daniel Robertson were in the lineup facing him. All ve prospects were in major league camp until last week. “The priority is getting the pitches in, so the hitters aren’t that big of a concern. But some people you overlook. These guys right here, they’re all ready to whack,†Cash said. “They just get sent down. They watched a lot of games over there (in the main stadium), so they’re wanting to do everything they can right now to hit. And then you put a big league pitcher on the mound. So he faced as good of a competition as he’s faced all spring.†Cash has discussed altering Odorizzi’s schedule, which has him on track to pitch the team’s fourth game April 10 at Miami, so he could move up two days and replace Smyly in his scheduled April 8 start against Baltimore, but no decisions have been made yet. “I have a lot of days in between now and then we can change the schedule. I think it moves one day up or two days up with an off day, so it’s not going to be that big a deal to move up in the rotation. But they haven’t said anything for sure to me,†Odorizzi said. “We’ll see how it progresses, but it’s not going to bother me any. “Regardless of Drew being down for a few weeks or not, I was still putting some lofty goals on myself to go out there and be better than I was last year. I think there’s plenty of room for improvement from last year to this year. Him being down doesn’t really change the way I need to think about myself.â€Contact Josh Vitale at 9412061122 or jvitale@sunherald.com.ODORIZZIFROM PAGE 1 TODAY’S GAMEWHO:Tampa Bay (5 -6) at Philadelphia (85) WHEN: 1:05 p.m. WHERE: Bright House Field, Clearwater SCHEDULED STARTERS: RH Alex Cobb vs. RH Jerome Williams DIRECTIONS: Take I-75 to I-275 North to Exit 30 (SR-686/Roosevelt Blvd.), head west approximately four miles.

It was March of 1968 and Newcombe, one of the rst players to follow Jackie Robinson across the “color barrier†that had kept AfricanAmericans out of Major League Baseball, was sitting in the dining room of his Southern California home with a guest. Martin Luther King Jr. was visiting. “He said, ‘Don, it wasn’t easy. I just want you to know — and I want the others to know — that without what you did on the baseball eld, I would never have succeeded,’†Newcombe recalled King telling him. Robinson, Newcombe and Roy Campanella were teammates for six seasons with the Dodgers. So Newcombe nds it appropriate the Los Angeles Dodgers will play host to Seattle on April 15 in the 2015 Civil Rights Game, the rst to be held on Jackie Robinson Day, the day MLB has set aside to honor Robinson’s legacy. “The Dodgers, they were the start of it. They started so many things,†said Newcombe, who still works for the team as a special adviser to Chairman Mark Walter. It was Branch Rickey, the Dodgers’ general manager, who had the courage to rst offer Robinson a contract. And it was Robinson who had the courage to accept it. Without either, Newcombe said, things could have been different. And not just in baseball. “What would have happened to Martin if he had tried that in 1946, without what we had done?†Newcombe asked. Newcombe then recounted another story, this one from 1954, when he, Larry Doby and other African-American ballplayers were barnstorming through the South with Robinson. Before a game in Montgomery, Ala., they sat in the dugout with King, then a little-known minister from Atlanta, who promised them they had inspired the movement he said was coming. A year later, the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott kicked off the civil rights ght. Baseball said the Civil Rights Game was developed to recognize the spirit of Robinson, Newcombe, King and others who pioneered that movement. “We’re proud of the role the Dodgers have played in professional sports history as pioneers of social change since Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier,†Dodgers owner Magic Johnson said. “From Jackie to Sandy Koufax to Fernando Valenzuela to Hideo Nomo to Chan Ho Park to now Yasiel Puig and Hyun-Jin Ryu, the Dodgers have sought to lead the way and be a model of inclusion in sports and American society as a whole.†This spring’s game, to be played on the 70th anniversary of Robinson’s debut, will be the rst to be played in Los Angeles.Dodgers to mark civil rights roleBy KEVIN BAXTERLOS ANGELES TIMES MLB: Los AngelesThe event will coincide with Jackie Robinson Day FORT MYERS — Matt Harvey allowed three hits over four scoreless innings for his second strong start following elbow surgery, but the New York Mets lost to Boston 4-3 Monday. Harvey retired six straight batters, striking out three, in his spring training debut against Detroit on March 6, then allowed two runs and six hits over 223 innings versus Miami ve days later. Mookie Betts doubled and tripled for the Red Sox, improving his average to .435 with three doubles and two triples. Matt Spring homered in the sixth for Boston and doubled in the eighth. Orioles 16, Phillies 4: In Clearwater, Chris Davis hit a three-run homer off Cole Hamels in the first inning, one of five home runs for Baltimore. Davis was 3-for-4 with his second homer of spring training, a double, four RBIs. Hamels allowed five runs, six hits and two walks in two innings. Padres 7, Cubs 0: In Peoria, Ariz., Matt Kemp and Tommy Medica hit towering home runs off Jon Lester in San Diego’s victory. Lester hadn’t allowed a run or walk in two starts and five innings. He was charged with six runs and seven hits before leaving with one out in the fourth. He was scheduled to go four innings. Diamondbacks 6, White Sox 2: In Scottsdale, Ariz., Arizona’s Randall Delgado gave up a run for the first time this spring in another strong outing for the Diamondbacks. Delgado allowed one hit — Tyler Saladino’s home run — struck out two and walked two in three innings. Royals 6, Indians 5: In Surprise, Ariz., Yordano Ventura gave up four runs in the first two innings, but Kansas City rallied. Ventura allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk in three innings. He struck out five. Reds 10, Giants 4: In Goodyear, Ariz., Brennan Boesch hit his third home run of the spring, connecting against Sergio Romo, for Cincinnati. Boesch is trying to win the job of fourth outfielder in Cincinnati. Cardinals 1, Tigers 0: In Jupiter,— John Lackey pitched three perfect innings in his spring training debut, outpitching David Price in St. Louis’ victory. The right-hander struck out four and needed only 37 pitches. In his third outing, Price threwing four scoreless innings of one hit ball. Dodgers 10, Athletics 5: In Glendale, Ariz., Zack Greinke gave up one hit, a homer to Josh Phegley, in three innings, leading Los Angeles. Kendall Graveman helped his chances at winning a spot in Oakland’s rotation by pitching two-hit ball for 4 innings. Astros 2, Braves (ss) 2: In Kissimmee, Jose Altuve had two hits and Dallas Keuchel allowed two runs, three hits and two walks in three innings for the Houston. Nationals 2, Astros 1: In Viera, Jordan Zimmermann had a close call, blocking a line drive at his head with his glove during an otherwise uneventful four-inning outing for Washington.Mets’ Harvey dominatesBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB ROUNDUP MLB NOTEBOOKRose applies for reinstatementGLENDALE, Ariz. — Pete Rose has submitted a new request to be reinstated to baseball. Rose agreed to the lifetime ban in August 1989 following an investigation for Major League Baseball by outside lawyer John Dowd that concluded the career hits leader bet on the Reds to win while managing the team. Rose applied for reinstatement in September 1997 and met in November 2002 with Commissioner Bud Selig, who never ruled on the application. Rob Manfred succeeded Selig in January. Manfred said after meeting with the Los Angeles Dodgers in spring training that he has a formal request from Rose. “What I intend to do is be in communication with his representatives, and we’ll talk about how we’ll handle it from a process perspective,†he said. Rose, who turns 74 next month, denied for 15 years that he bet on baseball. In his 2004 autobiography, “Pete Rose: My Prison Without Bars,†he reversed his stand and acknowledged he bet on the Reds while managing the team. In Mesa later in the day, Manfred said addressing the Oakland Athletics’ desire for a new ballpark is a top priority, though he’s unsure what influence his office can have on the matter. Selig formed a panel in March 2009 to examine the issue, but the panel never issued a public report. Marlins will be flying 1st class: At 23, Miami Marlins left fielder Christian Yelich is young enough to remember riding in cramped minor-league buses. That’s why he says the Marlins’ new plane sounds “awesome.†The Marlins have upgraded this year to a Boeing 767-200 leased from a private company and retrofitted to their liking. The cabin will have 84 extra-large first-class seats, couches, a massage table and card tables. The plane will look different from the outside, too, because it will bear the Marlins’ logo. It’s yet another sign that the historically thrifty franchise has embarked on a new era. Injury report: New York Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler has a torn elbow ligament. If Wheeler needs elbow ligament-replacement surgery, he likely would be out until early during the 2016 season. Cliff Lee has been placed on the 60-day disabled list by Philadelphia to attempt to rehabilitate a torn common flexor tendon in his pitching elbow without surgery. The team announced that surgery was recommended. Cleveland pitcher Gavin Floyd will have surgery today on a fractured bone in his right elbow. Around the majors: Cleveland confirmed AL Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber will start on opening day. Sonny Gray was named the opening day starter for Oakland for the second straight season.

Tim Tebow worked out Monday for the Philadelphia Eagles, two people familiar with the session told The Associated Press. Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because the workout was not made public. One of the sources said Tebow worked out at quarterback and left the facility without discussing a contract. Considering all the offseason moves made by coach Chip Kelly, taking a look at the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner with the huge following shouldn’t be a surprise. Tebow could run zone-read plays better than Philadelphia’s four current quarterbacks. Tebow has not been on an NFL team since the 2012 season. He was released by the Jets, then attended training camp in the summer of 2013 with the Patriots, who cut him.. Former San Francisco 49ers defen sive lineman Ray McDonald filed a defamation lawsuit in San Jose, Calif., against a woman accusing him of rape. McDonald says security camera footage will show a consensual sexual encounter occurred in his hot tub. Longtime New England nose tackle Vince Wilfork has signed with the Houston Texans. Wilfork announced the decision on Twitter, then the Texans confirmed the signing. The 33-year-old has spent his entire 11-year career with the Patriots. Former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Stevens, the husbund of U.S. women’s national soccer team goalie Hope Solo, was arrested in January in Manhattan Beach while driving the team’s van.BOXINGAustralian boxer dies 2 days after collapsing after fight: In Brisbane, Australia, a 23-year-old boxer died Monday two days after losing consciousness after losing a 10-round featherweight bout. Family spokesman James O’Shea confirmed Braydon Smith, who was in the final year of a law degree, had been in an induced coma at a Brisbane hospital since collapsing 90 minutes after a WBC Asian Boxing Council continental title bout with John Moralde of the Philippines on Saturday. Smith lost in a unanimous points decision, before praising his opponent and congratulating Moralde on the win and then returning to his dressing room.TENNISMurray rolls on in three sets: In Indian Wells, Calif., Andy Murray outlasted Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 in a nearly two-hour baseline slugfest under a hot sun at the BNP Paribas Open. Murray earned the only two breaks of the third set and closed out the win when Kohlschreiber’s forehand went wide, one of 35 unforced errors by the German. The temperature topped 90 degrees, unusually warm for this time of year. Cool mornings, hot afternoons and warm evenings have made for changing court conditions and ball speed in the desert, and Murray was affected by them. Murray moved on to a fourthround match against Adrian Mannarino, who beat 14th-seeded Ernests Gulbis, 6-4, 6-4.IDITARODDefending champ Seavey extends lead: In Nome, Alaska, Dallas Seavey extended his lead in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Seavey became the first musher to leave the checkpoint in Koyuk, taking off at 4:48 p.m. He had arrived in the village about 12:34 p.m., when he grabbed the lead from veteran musher Aaron Burmeister. Seavey was the first to reach Koyuk, 123 miles from the finish line in Nome, even though he left the previous checkpoint at Shaktoolik more than an hour behind Burmeister. Seavey arrived three minutes ahead of Burmeister. — By The Associated Press

Two teams took the Wildcats to overtime and six others found a way to keep the nal margin within 10 points. But the Wildcats are perhaps the NCAA’s biggest favorite in years isn’t a uke. “They know how to win and they gure out how to win,†Missouri coach Kim Anderson said. “When they get behind they gure out how to get ahead, and obviously that’s good coaching, that’s good players, but it’s an attitude. I think that is the most impressive thing.†So here’s three tips on how to beat them: LIMIT THE 3’S: Excluding the two overtime games, all six of the other teams who stayed within 10 of Kentucky for 40 minutes held the Wildcats to an average of 3.5 3-pointers in those games. That was, on average, about an eight-point savings over all other Kentucky games this season. GET GOOD SHOTS: Mississippi, Florida, LSU and Georgia all shot 47 percent or better in a game against Kentucky this season, losing those four games by an aver age of only 5.0 points. In Kentucky’s other 30 games, the average margin at games’ end was 23.1 points. ATTACK: In the eight “close†games, opponents shot 46 percent from 2-point range against Kentucky. In all other games, opponents shot 36.8 percent from inside the arc. And in the last three Wildcats’ games decided by 10 or fewer, teams shot a staggering 57.4 percent on 2’s. Then again, they all lost. “They’re pretty doggone physically imposing,†North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. “Somebody said that Portland Trail Blazers are the only team in America that was taller.†Shabazz Napier of the Miami Heat — he led Connecticut past Kentucky in last year’s national title game, the Wildcats’ last loss — believes defensively elite teams like Wisconsin and Virginia would have a realistic shot. “During March Madness, it’s more about who has the best guards,†Napier said. “You have to play their game, get up a couple points and then slow it up. But it’s denitely going to be tough. I’ve seen some of their games — they’re super-talented. They’re the No. 1 team and undefeated for a reason.†What makes Kentucky so difcult to stop is there’s no absolute key guy on their team. The Wildcats are the most balanced team in the country. And that depth is lethal. Aaron Harrison is their leading scorer, his average of 11.3 points per game good for only spot No. 623 on the national rankings. He logs more minutes than any other Wildcat, and there are 1,134 other Division I players who average more minutes than he does. Combined, Kentucky has had players post a total of four 20-point games all season. They come at teams in waves, and opponents don’t know who to guard. “You only have so many tricks up your sleeve to keep you in it when you are playing a team this good,†Boston University coach Joe Jones said.KENTUCKYFROM PAGE 1 Wildcats are favored in every matchupLas Vegas bookmakers made the Wildcats nearly even money favorites to win the NCAA Tournament. Kentucky will be favored by double digits in any matchup heading into the Final Four. Even if the Wildcats end up in a Final Four with three other No. 1 seeds, they would still be favored by at least 5.5 points against any opponent. — Associated Press NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTWHAT TO WATCH FORThe top playersSure, there’s no superstar like Andrew Wiggins this season. But that hardly means this year’s dance is devoid of big-time scorers and dynamic defenders. Duke’s Jahlil Okafor has been one of the nation’s best players all season and figures to be headed to the NBA after one season, so he’s going to be motivated to play well. Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky helped lead the Badgers to the Final Four last season and has been neck-and-neck with Okafor for player of the year honors. “We have a lot of goals and aspirations in the NCAA Tournament,†said Kaminsky, who helped the Badgers to the Final Four a year ago, “so we’re going to prepare for our first game and be ready when we tip the ball up.†Kentucky’s Willie Cauley-Stein is arguably the best player on the nation’s best team, which could have a handful of players headed to the NBA. Utah’s Delon Wright is a dynamic player who can be unstoppable. Jerian Grant of Notre Dame proved that seniors can still make headlines in an era of one-and-done prospects. He is a potential All-America. So is Iowa State’s Georges Niang. And, if it wasn’t for Okafor, the talk of the nation’s best freshman might have been about Maryland’s Melo Trimble. Arizona’s Stanley Johnson is in the same category.The top matchupsYou want to see muscle on muscle, Louisville vs. UC Irvine should be a good one. Cardinals powerful power forward Montrezl Harrell against the Anteaters’ 7-foot-6, 300-pound center Mamadou Ndiaye will be a heavyweight bout. Both teams need to win their opening games, but Kansas against Wichita State in the round of 32 would be one of those must-see games. The Jayhawks will not play the mid-major monster Shockers during the regular season and the entire state of Kansas may be in Omaha if those two teams get through. Keep an eye on Virginia Commonwealth and Ohio State in Portland on Thursday. That’s when the Buckeyes’ dynamic scorer D’Angelo Russell faces the Rams’ Havoc defense. Not to get too far ahead, but a WisconsinArizona final in the West Region could be epic. The Badgers survived a last-second shot to beat the Wildcats in overtime in last year’s West final.The Cinderella candidatesThese days, with thousands of games televised every season, there are few secrets in college basketball by the time March rolls around. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few players who are envisioning their own Bryce Drew moment, or a few teams that can put together an inspired run like George Mason or Butler of years past. Want some off-the-radar players to watch? Try someone from Drew’s own team, Valparaiso, such as 6-foot-10 Jamaican center Vashil Fernandez or forward Alex Peters. Tyler Harvey of Eastern Washington led the nation in scoring, while Stephen F. Austin’s Jacob Parker is one of the nation’s best 3-point shooters. How about a couple of teams that could make a run? Duke icon Bobby Hurley has coached Buffalo to a No. 12 seed opposite West Virginia in the Midwest region, and everyone knows the history of the 12-5 upset. Harvard, the No. 13 seed in the West, has been to four straight NCAAs and could make fourth-seeded North Carolina a tad uncomfortable.The top upset threatsStephen F. Austin over Utah will be a trendy upset pick. The Utes, the fifth seed in the South Region, limped to the finish this season, losing four of their final seven games. The 12th-seeded Lumberjacks shoot the ball well and were upset winners a year ago, knocking off VCU as a No. 12 seed. Brigham Young, the No. 11 seed in the West, was considered to be on the bubble, but has a talented team led by hot-shooting Tyler Haws and do-it-all point guard Kyle Collinsworth. Xavier was a bit of a surprise as a No. 6 seed. The Cougars have to play Mississippi first, but could give the Musketeers a run if they do. Midwest No. 12 seed Buffalo was able to hang with top-ranked Kentucky earlier this season and fifth-seeded West Virginia is dealing with injuries. Maryland reached the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament, but faces a tough opening challenge against No. 14 seed Valparaiso in the South Region.The Big 12’s successThe Big 12 again has seven teams in the NCAA Tournament. Regular-season champion Kansas is a No. 2 seed, and the No. 3 seeds in three of the four regions are from the Big 12 — tournament champion Iowa State, Oklahoma and Baylor. The league also has the nation’s top cumulative RPI and five top-20 teams in this season’s final AP poll. “We’re arguably the best conference in the country,†Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. “Still, we need to validate that with some tournament wins and some teams advancing.†This is the second year in a row with seven NCAA teams, making the Big 12 the only league that can boast 14 bids in that span. But only Baylor and Iowa State made it past the opening weekend of the tournament last March, and both lost in the Sweet 16. “I think it is time for our league to step up, and last year was an off year, and we certainly contributed to that by losing in the first weekend, the second game,†Kansas coach Bill Self said. “We do need to do something as a league to validate what everybody else has said about us all year long.†The Jayhawks are the only Big 12 team to make the NCAA Final Four the past 10 seasons, beating Memphis for the national title in 2008. They lost to Kentucky in the 2012 championship game.Family winsThe most successful family coaching trees in college basketball (by the number of wins): 1,632 The Ibas (Henry, Gene, Moe, Clarence) 1,150 The Suttons (Eddie, Scott, Sean) 982 The Drews (Homer, Scott, Bryce) 981 The Knights (Bob, Pat) 974 The Bartows (Gene, Murray) 950 The Meyers (Ray, Joey)Montrezl Harrell BYU coach Dave Rose rff rfntbbnn rfrfntttbfb bnr fbntbbrf brffntnb nnrffntnb fn r‘’“ â€â€ $ 49 before 7:45am $150 $ 79 after 7:46am-1pm $ 69 after 1pm 4:00 TWILIGHT RATE ONLY $39 Not valid with other offers. 7-Day Advance Tee Times (941) 423-6955 $ 49 after 1:30pm www.HeronCreek.com 4 PLAYER SPECIAL $ 269 adno=50482863 HERON CREEK-----------------------------'

The Huskies earned the rst overall in the women’s NCAA Tournament and were placed in the Albany Region. They are looking for their 10th overall title, which would tie Auriemma with UCLA men’s coach John Wooden for most all-time. “This is why you coach,†Auriemma said of going for a third straight championship. “This is why you come to Connecticut if you are one of these players. Are we mature enough to handle it? We will nd that out very soon.†Though Connecticut is favored to three-peat, Auriemma said winning another title isn’t a guarantee. “The fact that every body thinks it’s a done deal, that we’re going to win the whole thing,†Auriemma said, “those are probably people who have never coached, or haven’t coached in a Final Four or have won a national championship.†Joining the Huskies as top seeds in the 64-team tournament that begins Friday are Maryland, South Carolina and Notre Dame. Notre Dame and UConn, former Big East rivals, met in the national championship game last season as undefeated teams with the Huskies coming away with the victory. The pair played earlier this season in South Bend, and the Huskies won by 18 points. UConn beat South Carolina on Feb. 9 by 25. The Huskies, who are led by Breanna Stewart, seem to be improving and have been rolling — winning games by an average of 42 points this season. UConn will open on Saturday in Storrs, Conn., against St. Francis, Brooklyn, which is making its rst tournament appearance. The Terriers (15-18) are the 10th team to enter the NCAAs with a losing record. The Irish are the top seed in the Oklahoma City Region. Notre Dame has played in the past four Final Fours but come up short of a title each time. Baylor, Iowa and Stanford are the top seeds in the region that will try and derail the Irish. The Gamecocks will face Savannah State in the rst round, a team they beat by 62 points earlier this season. Florida State, Arizona State and North Carolina will try and stop South Carolina in the Greensboro Region. Last season the Gamecocks lost to North Carolina in the regional seminals. “Obviously, last year left a sour taste in our mouths and if ever you want a chance to do it over, I’d like to do it over,†South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. Maryland is No. 1 in the Spokane Region. The Terrapins became the second team to go unbeaten in the Big Ten, the conference they joined this season. They will open up against New Mexico State on Saturday. Undefeated Princeton, which is the 15th team to enter the NCAA Tournament unbeaten, is an eight-seed — the highest in Ivy League history. The Tigers will face Green Bay. It’s the third time in ve tournament appear ances that the Tigers will play in the 8 vs. 9 game. “They had a historic year,†NCAA women’s basketball committee chair Dru Hancock said. “When it came to where to seed them, they didn’t have any wins in the Top 25. Their strength of schedule wasn’t great. Twenty one of the 30 wins came with an RPI over 100. “The committee is very excited about the Green Bay-Princeton matchup they’ll have a chance to show the entire country what they can do.†Other teams in Spokane include No. 2 Tennessee and third seed Oregon State. All teams in the eld would like to get to the national championship game April 7 in Tampa. This season the women’s tournament moved its games up one day in the rst two rounds and the regionals. The Final Four is still being played on Sunday (seminals) and Tuesday (title game). The NCAA also decided to go back to rewarding the top 16 seeds with home games in the opening two rounds for the rst time since 2003. By awarding the sites on merit the Gamecocks were allowed to host the rst two rounds despite the state ying the Confederate ag on Statehouse grounds. Huskies learn path to titleBy DOUG FEINBERGASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NCAA women’s tournamentIrish, Terps and Gamecocks earn the other No. 1 seeds Bulldogs coach retiresBy CHARLES ODUMASSOCIATED PRESSATLANTA — Andy Landers has ended a run of longevity that is rare in major college sports, retiring after 36 seasons as the only full-time coach in the history of the Georgia women’s program. He built the program into a national power from the ground up. Under Landers, Georgia became a constant in the NCAA Tournament, including ve Final Four appearances. He never led Georgia to a national championship, but was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007. Landers, 62 retired Monday following a season in which he recorded his 850th career win with the Lady Bulldogs. But Georgia lost nine of its last 11 games to nish 19-12 following a strong start. Georgia was 17-3 before losing several players to injuries and illness. COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Georgia women LCc
