Charlotte Sun An Edition of the Sun AND WEEKLY HERALDCALL US AT 941-206-1000 Joyce Peterson’s letter came with a “Corporate Judges Seal†on the envelope and a bold “Protectively sealed mail — Ofcial documents enclosed†warning from the Awards Notication Commission in Kansas City. The 81-yearold Port Charlotte resident was warned, “This is a non transfer able correspondence†and not to give the letter to any other person. With her “ofcial declaration of certied award and provision of payment†statement, and a veried ID number, Joyce was asked to choose either a lump-sum payment of $1,230,946 or $66,667 a year paid through a 30-year annuity. But reading the ne print disclosed Joyce hadn’t won anything yet. Award Notication Commission oper ates a sweepstakes. The winning number has already been predetermined and the odds of winning are one in 300 million. Joyce had to enter to see whether hers was the winning number. However, in confusing and misleading language, the letter instructed Joyce to send a required acquisition “fee for delivery†of $12.99 for a “premium offer†of discounted online merchandise. Worse, the ne print also disclosed, “the purpose of this sweepstakes is to promote various products featured by sponsor NextGen, Inc. (which) makes our mailing list available to companies whose products or services might be of interest to you.†“Consumers should understand the suggested payment is to purchase an item from the company,†explains the Better Business Bureau, which gives NextGen an F grade. “Recipients of the mailing should not assume they need to buy the mer chandise to participate in the sweepstakes to win the prize money. The bureau has received complaints on the merchandise sold by the company and from consumers who believed they had won a prize due to the rm's mailing.†If Joyce had responded, her name would most likely also turned up on a “suckers list,†to be bought and sold many times to con artists, hoping she’d send them money, too. Good thing she just ignored the letter and forwarded it to me. Then there are the personal letters Rosemary Carpenter just received from NPF in Plainview, N.Y., and UPC in Babylon, N.Y. Touting ofcial looking “available cash awards†and “urgent prize claims,†each asked for a $20 fee. The 89-year-old Port Charlotte resident said she assumed these were scams but was tempted to contact the companies, asking them to deduct the $20 from her winnings. But Rosemary hadn’t “won†anything. “In dense, confusing language, often on the back of the letters, there are statements in direct conict with the bold claims of major winnings,†explained the Federal Trade Commission. “A very careful reader might learn (they) do not sponsor sweepstakes but instead claim only to provide consumers with a list of available sweepstakes. Consumers frequently fail to see or understand this language and send money. This language exists mainly as an attempt to provide a defense to law enforcement action. Consumers get nothing of value in exchange for their payment.†So, if you receive anything in the mail that closely resembles either what Joyce or Rosemary got, just throw it away or consider returning it to sender and making them pay for return postage.

But little data, if any, exists to quantify those claims. Now ofcials want to change that. At a Charlotte County Airport Authority meeting Thursday, Commissioner Pam Seay revealed the airport’s plans to conduct a survey of the more than half a million passengers who use the airport to isolate where they are going, how long they will stay, and what they plan to do during their visit. The hope is to gather enough statistically valid data to measure the airport’s impact in the region, Seay said. “We know there is one. But what is it?†she said. “The increase in numbers here at the airport has demonstrated this is a very popular destination for folks. (But) what we want to do is prove that with numbers.†“The Punta Gorda Airport (has) an impact well beyond our region,†Seay added. “But you can’t just anecdotally say, ‘Yeah, we’re doing that. Look, we have a half-million people.†In the last four years, the airport’s passenger counts have exploded. To underscore the point, Seay played a video of real estate expert Stan Stouder speaking last month at a MarketWatch Real Estate conference in Fort Myers. Stouder noted a whopping 244 percent increase in passenger trafc at the Punta Gorda Airport (PGD), compared with Southwest Florida International Data on the flyBy BRENDA BARBOSASTAFF WRITERAirport officials seek to quantify regional impactFLY | 10 Lemon Bay freshman on fast track to fame ENGLEWOOD — Most ninth-graders can’t say they have backup dancers for their music videos. They also don’t have to go shopping for a red-carpet dress for a major music awards show in Orlando. For Francesca Gallucci, a freshman at Lemon Bay High School, it’s all part of her path to fame that started when she wrote a song “One, Two, Three, Four, Five,†when she was 13 and in middle school. A music video was produced in her mother’s native country, the Dominican Republic. That video, which features her singing and dancing skills, has been nominated for an award. She will learn if she won at the Golden Mic Music Awards show in a couple of weeks in Orlando. The show features artists from Puerto Rico, New York, the Dominican Republic and Miami. “I had two other songs that were nominated and I’ve received awards for them for the past two years,†said Francesca, 14, who was waiting for practice to begin for the girls JV softball team on Thursday after school. Francesca, who also plays basketball and volleyball, said the music video went viral quickly. “It got nearly 2 million hits in two weeks,†she said. “I got a whole bunch of emails and text messages from newspapers in the Dominican Republic who wanted to interview me. That was when I knew I sort of made it. “What I didn’t know was there was also a lot of negative feedback. My mom was hiding the comments from me.

The HCP agreement, reached in December with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, established an incidental take permit, which allows for the conservation of scrub jay habitat while allowing owners of impacted parcels to develop the land. Prior to the HCP, owners of scrub jay-identied land faced excessive fees and regulations. At Thursday’s preagenda meeting, commissioners discussed the plan to authorize the acquisition of such Charlotte may start to buy, preserve scrub jay landBy GARY ROBERTSSTAFF WRITERPRESERVE | 10READER ADVOCATE David MORRISCOLUMNIST Francesca Gallucci sings the national anthem lastyear at the Gasparilla Island Kids Classic Tarpon Tournament.

Featured EventsPAID ADVERTISEMENTSPLACIDA — Garry Albritton spent Thursday morning mapping out the locations for the 70 or more vendors who will sell their wares at the annual Placida Seafood Festival Saturday and Sunday at the Fishery. “We have a few more food vendors this year,†said Albritton, whose family, like the seafood festival, is deeply rooted in Placida’s past. His mother’s father, Walter Gault, established Placida as a commercial shing hub in Southwest Florida. While various vendors will offer arts and crafts, Albritton said, “We haven’t upscaled it. It’s not a ne arts show. I tell people it’s still a seafood festival.†The bottom line, he said, is to “just come down and enjoy yourself.†As in the past, the festival retains the tastes and avors of “old Florida,†said Margaret Albritton, whose Margaret Albritton Gallery has been one of the mainstays at the Fishery. “You see (arts and crafts) here that you won’t see anywhere else,†she said. “You’ll taste foods here you can’t get any where else.†Traditionally, the festival, which has a 30-plus-year history, was staged by local commer cial mullet shermen. But in the wake of the gill net ban, the Rotary Club of Placida carried on the tradition. Rotary president-elect Dave Galloway said the festival is a major fundraiser for the Placida Rotary chapter. What’s raised from the festival, he said, allows the Rotary to offer scholarships to Lemon Bay High School graduates, and to make donations to other Englewood schools, the Englewood Area Cancer Foundation, food banks, and other local nonprots and charities. Among Florida’s various seafood festivals, Randy Rickard says the Placida Seafood Festival is one of his favorites. Rickard owns Captain Bobby’s Seafood Shack in Crystal River, Fla., and Charley’s Seaside Cafe on Cedar Key, Fla. He hasn’t missed coming to the Placida Seafood Festival for more than 20 years. “I love this place — it’s the people, the tropical setting and the perfect place for a seafood festival,†he said. He will offer an assortment of seafoods, as well as Italian sausages, gyros, other food and refreshments. Audley Slade, owner of the Placida Fish Market at the Fishery, keeps her doors open seven days a week in the winter season, and six days in the summer. Besides keeping her market open during the festival, Slade said she will be serving smoked mullet, peel-and-eat shrimp, gumbo soups and other seafood dishes at the festival. She’ll also offer strawberry shortcake, made with fresh Plant City strawberries. “We have good food — and we’re local,†Slade said to those who will come to the festival. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth the hard work.â€Email: reilly@sun-herald.comPlacida Seafood Fest: A taste of FloridaBy STEVE REILLYSTAFF WRITER IF YOU GOWhat: Placida Seafood Festival When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday Where: the Fishery, 13000 Fishery Road (off Gasparilla Road, at the Gasparilla/Placida roads junction and the Boca Grande Causeway intersection), Placida Cost: Free, but parking is $3 Music: Kenny & the Keys, noon to 5 p.m. Saturday; Seamus McCarthy Band, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday SUN PHOTO BY STEVE REILLYRandy Rickard owns Captain Bobby’s Seafood Shack in Crystal River, Fla., and Charley’s Seaside Cafe on Cedar Key, Fla. | ENGLEWOOD | EVENTS Voted Best Ophthalmologist 2011 2014 624-4500 www.zusmaneyecarecenter.com adno=50481074 TWIN LOBSTERS S ea fo od M ar ket 2 700 Pl ac id a Rd ., En g.

Our Town Page 4 E/N/C www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Friday, March 20, 2015 LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWS The Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida SouthWestern State College Charlotte Campus will play host to an evening of musical discovery and enlightenment at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the auditorium lobby, 26300 Airport Road, Punta Gorda. The evening will begin with a casual, brief wine reception to greet Maestro Raffaele Ponti, music director of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra; and Dr. Ramon Gil, a neurologist in Southwest Florida, vice chairman of the CSO board of directors, and founder of the orchestra’s Medical Grand Rounds program. The reception will be followed promptly at 6:45 p.m. with an enter taining and interactive presentation “What Instrument Are You?†Ponti will help us to discover more about our own individual personalities as he teaches us the “personalities†of various orchestral instruments — and how there might be similarities. Gil will provide a fascinating exploration into music’s effects on our brains. An added value to this program is an invitation to sit onstage at the actual rehearsal on March 28 of the Charlotte Symphony’s last performance for this season and a drawing for two tickets to the actual performance March 29 of “Vittorioso†— Secrets of the Oscars Unveiled.

Our Town Page 6 E/N/C www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Friday, March 20, 2015 LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWS Southwest Florida residents can expect the spring season to get off to a warmer start this year. Rodney Wynn, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said temperatures have been about six degrees higher than normal during the week, and they should remain a few degrees higher than normal this weekend because of “continued high pressure over the area.†High temperatures are usually in the upper 70s to lower 80s at the start of Spring, rising to the mid-80s in April, but the forecast shows they are already rising to a high of 84 degrees today and a high of 85 on Saturday. The overnight low is 64 tonight, and 66 on Saturday. The skies will look mostly cloudy, but there is no chance of rain, Wynn said. Winds should only be between 5 to 10 mph, so it should be good weather for getting out on the boat, he added. Sunday’s high should be a bit cooler with a cold front coming on Monday, which will drop temperatures back to seasonal averages, he added. The high Sunday is 82 with an overnight low of 67. Monday’s high will only reach 81 with a 40 percent chance of rain. However, Wynn said it is only a mild front because “the low is developing over Louisiana,†instead of coming from the north with Arctic air. Email: sbrokaw@sun-herald.com Spring starts out warmer than normalBy SOMMER BROKAWSTAFF WRITERENGLEWOOD — Charlotte County made its repairs to the Tom Adams Bridge Thursday. It’s now open to boat trafc, after two days of the drawbridge being shut down to sailboats and other large vessels. John Elias, Charlotte County Public Works maintenance and operations manager, reported Thursday that the bridge was tested and fully operational that afternoon. The county also notied the U.S. Coast Guard the drawbridge is operational. Tuesday afternoon, the decking of the drawbridge failed to lock down properly. The bridge was closed temporarily to motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians, but it was reopened to motorists shortly before 2 p.m. Public Works staff and a repair contractor determined a solenoid needed to be replaced. The solenoid powers the bridge’s hydraulic pumps. The county has scheduled the Tom Adams Bridge for rehabilitation work this year that will include the replacement of the existing tender house, along with electrical and mechanical equipment replacement.

The Sun /Friday, March 20, 2015 www.sunnewspapers.net E/N/C Our Town Page 7 LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWS Look for a third crossword in the Sun Classified section. NORTH PORT — Negotiations for the city’s re contract have gone on for close to two years, but the end could be in sight. City and re union representatives came to what could be a nal verbal agreement for the North Port Fire Department contract Thursday — an agreement that may have the full approval of all union members sometime next month. International Association of Fire Fighters vice president Tom Truesdale and representative Scott Duff had only one topic on the table for discussion Thursday at City Hall — maximum accrued hours. Thursday’s negotiation picked up where the two parties left off in late February. The meat of the new contract proposal has been verbally agreed on since late December. The proposal includes: a 3 percent base pay increase for all positions to be paid retroactively in year three — Oct. 1, 2015 through Sept. 30, 2016; a 3 percent increase for all employees who have not reached their maximum salary cap; a “me too†clause that would be implemented to cover those who are “maxed out†on salary (these employees would receive the same salary adjustments as non-union general city employees, as approved by the City Commission); a $1,000 lump sum for reghter/paramedics employed two or more years; reghter/paramedics employed between one and two years would receive a $500 lump sum on Oct. 1, 2015. These terms were brought to the re union for approval in January but have not been formally accepted. The two sides cleared up a couple of errors and talked out the issue of maximum pensionable hours Thursday, the last issue on the table. The city’s current contract sets the maximum number of accrued hours for one year that will be paid at 660. During the meeting, city General Services Director Robin Carmichael, Assistant City Manager Danny Schult and Finance Director Peter Lear assured Truesdale that the accrued hours have always been paid upon separation of the employee. “We pay whatever is on the books,†said Lear. “If they earned it, we pay it.†Truesdale expressed concern about not having a minimum number of hours established for payouts. “It’s sort of confusing because there is a maximum but there’s no minimum,†he said, following the meeting Thursday. Deputy Chief Scott Titus was also at the negotiations and reiterated that the payouts would come and that retirees should take steps to ensure the payouts. “It’s just a matter of planning in that last year you work,†Titus said. “If you get to 660 (hours) you’ll get paid, but if you don’t you can still sell whatever is left back to the city.†Following a caucus and call to the union’s attorney, Truesdale and Duff eventually stated they were OK with the contract as it is currently proposed. “This negotiation could go on forever. I want to get it done. ... We could argue both sides of the accrued hours, but let’s just get this contract nished,†Duff said. Small changes — typos and a change in the retroactive effective date — were given the OK by all parties. The retroactive date for the proposed contract, if accepted, will be Oct. 1, 2013 through Sept. 30, 2016. The parties also agreed that negotiations for the new contract could begin as early as May 1, 2015. Duff said after the meeting that he expects the vote and approval of the draft contract to be wrapped up in about a month.Email: sgholar@sun-herald.comFire union to vote on draft contractBy SAMANTHA GHOLARSTAFF WRITER PHOTO PROVIDED Family and friends gathered at Port Charlotte Golf Club on March 12 to celebrate Norah Bachman’s 100th birthday.

Justice Thomas actually believes the Constitution is the law of the land and should not be ignored just in order to engage in social engineering? How dare he? Everybody knows that the Constitution is an out-of-date document that doesn’t address the needs of the 21st century. Right? Too many people in this country actually believe that law should be made for the benet of the poor, downtrodden, the depraved, the outcast, the criminal, the illegal, the needy. Because wrongs were perpetrated in the past, it must be made right by instigating new laws that deny rights and freedoms to the majority. Therefore, writers like Cass demand relativity when interpreting the law. In so doing, the precedent that Cass is so insistent be the norm in interpreting the Law of The Land, may come back to haunt him. After all, if we can deny the right of worship, the right of assembly, the right Editor, Former presidential candidate and head trumpeter of the “climate change†mantra is quite a piece of work. He now asserts that climate change is “accepted science.†Perhaps accepted by him. Not by everyone. You know, climate change is such an innocent phrase. Americans can easily ignore the blathering because we see the climate change at a minimum of four times per year. We see atypical weather events regularly (and have throughout our lives). And quite frankly, we are busy try ing to keep our heads above water given the other assaults on us economically. But Gore has upped the stakes. He wants us to pay a price. What Gore fails to acknowledge is that the United States is not the problem. India, China, Japan — now there is some serious pollution. I’m very tired of being Mr. Editor, It’s Bike Month in Punta Gorda and everywhere you look people are riding their bikes. There is no stopping the growing popularity of cycling. It is here and it is only going to grow as people experience the pleasure and health benets of biking. Cycling provides economic benets to the community and has the potential to improve local business. The local cycling clubs, tness riders, seasonal visitors, students and commuters all need safe bicycle routes. Unfortunately, The City of Punta Gorda has not been responsive in meeting the requests of its community cyclists as evidenced with recent paving projects and the opportunity to create dedicated bicycle lanes and sharrows for safe riding. The City promotes itself as being bike friendly yet it has failed to include basic infrastructure improvements for bicycle safety. There are many low-cost, effective, bike safety improvements that should be built into the future cost of repaving and striping projects. Over 17 percent of national bicycle fatalities happen in the state of Florida. This percentage could be drastically reduced with cooperation from the city and local leaders with marginal cost. Debra Bridson Punta GordaEditor: At rst, I couldn’t believe my eyes, since I was only halfway through my rst cup of coffee. But there it was, a photo of World War II Veteran Bobbie Caho’s shadowbox full of awards and decorations, printed upside-down in Don Moore’s March 16 column. In my opinion, as a retired U.S. Army Vietnam vet, such Editor: If anyone still questions how the government operates, you only have to look as far as the “Justice for Victims of Human Trafcking†bill. Here’s the story. It was a Democrat-sponsored, 68-page bill. Why does this require 68 pages? We need clean and simple proposals. Anyway, Republicans added to the bill so that money provided to these victims could not be used for abortions. Now Dems are whining that they didn’t realize it was in there until the bill was passed. Bingo. There you have it. Laws are being voted on by people who don’t read them. Amazingly, they admit this. I’m not sure who is dumber in this situation, the Congress who pass things they haven’t read, or the public who allows the practice.Gerald Manegold North PortEditor: I met a gentleman and let him go rst at the register. His name is Jerry Clipse of Clipse Concrete & Masonry. I asked if he did small jobs, and he showed up two days later and did the job. The price was fantastic. Thank you and God bless.Elaine Rubech North PortEasing beach parking woes is a challengeOUR POSITION: Parking problems at a public beach are nothing new. Some outside-thebox thinking, however, may come up with ways to alleviate the situation on Manasota Key.Those who love the beach, along with local business owners, say parking — or the lack of — at public beaches on Manasota Key is the worst they have seen. Just about any day, only the early birds can conveniently pull into one of the 335 parking spaces allotted to beach-goers at Englewood Beach. Arrive too late, and you nd yourself in a game of follow the leader around the parking lot, hoping someone is leaving early. The problem has become so bad that the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Ofce issued a warning that it would hand out $118 tickets for drivers who try to be innovative and create their own parking spaces or who park illegally on side streets. The crowds should be no surprise since Charlotte County is seeing a probable record number of visitors this winter. Tourist tax dollars set an all-time high with $329,503 taken in in January 2014. That record was short-lived as the county made $418,782 this January. Tommy Scott, director of community service for the county, says things are so bad — or good — they have had to add an extra run to the beach to clean the cash out of parking meters each week. Parking has always been scarce at Englewood Beach, but the lack of spaces at nearby Blind Pass and other Manasota beaches is a little more telling. And, there is no reason to believe things will get better. More people are moving here and more people have discovered the area as a vacation destination. “With season being as busy as it is, it will be busier next,†predicted Charlotte County Commissioner Tricia Duffy. “I actually have not heard that many complaints, but I would like to know more about what we can do.†So what is the answer? Scott said the county plans to designate about a dozen more spaces for parking at Chadwick Park, across North Beach Road from the beach, where people are already parking on the grass — and getting ticketed. “It’s not a lot but it may help,†he said. “We have no more permitting to add spaces on the beach side.†A study is in order. One possible idea is a shuttle. There is literally no land left on the key where the county could afford to put a parking lot. But, perhaps, a deal could be brokered for land on the mainland that could accommodate another 100 to 150 cars. The county could run a mini-bus back and forth every 20 minutes or so to ease the congested roads on the key. A reasonable fee could be assessed to lessen the cost for the county. We believe many beach visitors would be glad to pay a buck or two so they don’t have to search for parking and could be dropped off right in front of the beach. Sarasota County staff is studying the beach parking issue on Manasota Key and plans to make a presentation to commissioners about a possible capital improvement project. Charlotte County should make up its own task force to study the problem. Perhaps parking woes are the price we pay for the popularity of the beach? But it sounds reasonable that making it more convenient to visit our beaches is the best way to make sure people keep coming back.What’s the difference between growing up in an afuent family and growing up poor in America? Yes, upper-middle-class kids have more money. But they also have more attentive parents, stable families, good teachers — and even more friends and acquaintances. As a result, well-off kids have one more advantage, according to Harvard social scientist Robert D. Putnam: They have air bags in their lives. Social air bags offer the same kind of protection as car air bags: In a collision, you walk away unharmed. When afuent kids stumble, a parent or someone else often jumps in to help—by hiring a lawyer, paying for therapy, making sure contraceptives are available or merely nding a tutor. “A lot of poor kids don’t have any access to help,†Putnam told me this week. “Some of the stories are heartbreaking.†Putnam’s new book, “Our Kids,†is a concise and readable collection of cur rent research on inequality in America — not income inequality but widening inequality of opportunity among the nation’s children. It’s a powerful challenge to the fundamental premise of American society: the comforting myth of a level playing eld for talented, hard-working kids no matter their origins. Its strongest passages are not statistics but stories. And often, the key difference is the presence of those air bags: When a kid hits a roadblock, is anyone there to help? Take a 21-year-old Santa Ana woman whom Putnam calls Lola. Her parents, both drug addicts, deserted her as an infant; she was raised mostly by an older sister, with no parents in the house. Lola was a voracious reader in elementary school, but when she arrived at Santa Ana High School she was misassigned to classes for Spanish speakers and lost an entire year. “There were kids with guns in the school,†she told one of Putnam’s researchers. “The teachers would even say out loud. that they’re just there to baby-sit, that they don’t care if we learn or not.†Lola is try ing to make her way through community college, but the odds are against her. Some of Putnam’s statistics are equally compelling.

The Sun /Friday, March 20, 2015 www.sunnewspapers.net E/N/C Our Town Page 9 VIEWPOINTDick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, was getting his demagogue on. He stood on the Senate oor, talking up to the galleries, waving papers in the air, and displaying a big poster with a photograph of President Obama’s pick for attorney general and the words “Conrm Loretta Lynch.†“Why has the Senate Republican leadership decided to target this good woman and to stop her from serving as the rst African-American attorney general of the United States of America?†demanded Durbin of Illinois, who is white. “Loretta Lynch, the rst African-American woman nominated to be attorney general, is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to the Senate calendar.†Back of the bus? No he di’n’t! He did, and then some. “It’s time to stop holding her hostage,†the Democratic whip said. The very white, very male Republican Party has managed to get itself caught in another thicket in the hostile terrain of identity politics. Ashton Carter, Obama’s white, male nominee to be defense secretary, was conrmed in just under 70 days. But Lynch, nominated a month before Carter, continues to languish in the Senate — 131 days and counting — even though she is by all accounts superbly qualied for the job and she got through her conrmation hearings without so much as a scratch. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and his fellow Senate Republicans got themselves into this situation by violating the rst rule of extortion: Don’t take a hostage you aren’t willing to shoot. McConnell on Sunday said he wouldn’t take up the Lynch nomination until Democrats acted on a sex-trafcking bill that had enjoyed bipar tisan support before Democrats noticed that it included an anti-abortion provision. But Democrats have little political incentive to comply with his demands, because they know Lynch has the votes to be conrmed and because the GOP’s troubles with women and minorities worsen each day McConnell delays. The majority leader, who failed to break a Democratic libuster of the trafcking bill on Tuesday, tried again with another vote the following day. “It’s really hard to believe what we saw yesterday: Democrats actually libustering a bill to help victims of modern slavery, apparently because left-wing lobbyists told them to,†he said as he opened the Senate oor Wednesday. He’s got a point there. The controversial provision, blocking funds from being used to per form abortions, has been in the legislation since it was introduced in January, and Democrats and pro-abortion rights groups apparently failed to notice it. Democrats also contributed to the Lynch delay, by discour aging Obama from making a nomination before the November elections and by declining to move the nomination during the lame-duck session. But McConnell lost whatever high ground he held when he decided to hold up Lynch unless Democrats swallowed the abortion provision in the sex-trafcking bill. Harry Reid of Nevada, the minority leader, protested before Wednesday’s attempt to break the Democrats’ libuster that “Loretta Lynch has waited 130 days. There’s no reason to delay her conrmation another minute.†Actually, there is a reason: McConnell is himself being held hostage. He can’t bring up the Lynch conrmation without the unanimous consent of his caucus, which he probably couldn’t get. And if he shelves the trafcking bill, Republican senators would be furious at him for backing down. That’s not something McConnell is likely to risk after inaming conservatives with his surrender in the Department of Homeland Security funding battle last month. And so Democrats are watching McConnell squirm. They point out that Lynch has waited longer for a conrmation vote than any attorney general nominee since Edwin Meese 30 years ago. And they say that she has been on the “executive calendar†— awaiting a Senate oor vote — for 18 days, longer than the last ve attorneys general combined. “It’s time for the majority leader to release the hostage,†Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., demanded Wednesday morning at a news conference featuring four U.S. ags and seven women: Murray, Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., and representatives of ve women’s groups. And out on the Senate oor, Durbin brazenly played the race card. “It’s time for us to give Loretta Lynch an opportunity to continue to serve America, to make civil rights history,†he said, calling her nomination a “civil rights milestone.†Perhaps. But it is certainly a milestone of political malpractice that Republicans have put themselves in this position again. Dana Milbank is a Washington Post columnist.

Readers may follow him on Twitter at @Milbank.More GOP political malpractice Dana Milbank Educational opportunity depends on income more than test scores. “High-scoring poor kids are now slightly less likely to get a college degree than low-scoring rich kids,†Putnam reports. In 2000, 29 percent of poor kids with high test scores got degrees, compared with 30 percent of afuent kids with low scores. The achievement gap among children shows up in tests on the rst day of kindergarten, at age 5 —and it depends on family income, too. “The class gap among students entering kindergarten (is) two times greater than the racial gap,†Putnam reports. A 2014 study found that almost two-thirds of afuent children had access to informal mentors outside their families — family friends, teachers, coaches, church leaders or counselors; fewer than 40 percent of poor children reported any mentoring. Are there solutions? Putnam proposes a list, most of them familiar: more tax breaks for families with children, easier access to contraceptives, universal preschool, programs to allow poor kids to transfer to schools in afuent neighbor hoods, “combat pay†to attract good teachers to troubled schools. And a modest measure that he’s passionate about: Schools should stop charging kids for participating in athletics and other extracurricular activities. He’s been criticized from the left for failing to focus on the economic causes of inequality. (“There must be at least a dozen books on why the income gap has grown,†he responds.) And he’s been criticized from the right for proposing more government programs to help x broken families. (“I don’t think this problem is going to be solved in Washington,†he’s concluded. “It’s going to be solved in places like Duluth and Galveston and state capitals.â€) In a debate that often comes down to a search for a single villain — either economic change driven by Wall Street or the collapse of the traditional family thanks to libertines of the 1960s — he comes down rmly on both sides. “The rst driver was the collapse of the working class economy and that eroded families,†he said. “But the collapse of the family also became an independent cause.†But amid that familiar political division, here’s one last startling statistic: About 95 percent of Americans agree that “everyone in America should have equal opportunity to get ahead,†and 86 percent believe that society should do “whatever is necessary†to make that promise real. It’s hard to nd any question these days that many Americans agree on. Some potential Republican candidates for president, including former Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida have said they want to make equal opportunity, traditionally a Democratic issue, part of their agenda. They won’t agree with each other, or with their Democratic rivals, on what to do. But they’re right on one count: The problem ought to be at the center of the 2016 presidential campaign.

Our Town Page 10 E/N/C www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Friday, March 20, 2015 FROM PAGE ONE parcels. The county determined that it needs to purchase 1,300 acres of scrub jay property in order for the fees to generate the necessary $56 million required to fund the 30-year program. Ofcials explained that the HCP is limited just to “willing sellers,†and that the program is self-funded, with the county purchasing land only as fees are collected. The county already owns about 4,000 acres of scrub jay-identied land. Under the HCP, lot owners in the designated scrub jay review area have to pay only a onetime permit fee of $2,200 to develop lots up to a half-acre, and could start construction right away. Of the estimated 18,000 lots in the county within the scrub jay review area, about 15,000 lots are a quarter-acre or smaller. “This makes it tremendously more enticing for landowners to sell and build on their property,†said Tommy Scott, the county’s director of Community Services. “And it’s creating scrub jay habitat to perpetuate the species.†But for owners of larger tracts, it becomes much more expensive. In a separate interview, local land-use attorney Geri Waksler explained that the problem with the HCP is that the fee amount is based on the total size of the property, regardless of the impact on scrub jays. For example, TAG Real Estate, which is eyeing a 138-acre planned development on four contiguous tracts of land, would have to pay $791,400 in fees for impacting only 2.6 acres of scrub jay-identied land. “That’s crazy,†Waksler said. “That’s not an issue on quarter-acre lots. For us, that’s huge.†At the preagenda meeting, Commissioner Tricia Duffy agreed that the fee structure for large-property owners may require a second look. “It’s really high,†Duffy said. Waksler, who is asking county ofcials to adjust the fees, said other commissioners also are concerned that owners of large parcels not carry a disproportionate share of the burden. “We are looking to nd a solution to the problem,†Waksler said. The County Commission meeting starts at 9 a.m. Tuesday in Commission Chambers at the Murdock Administration Center, 18500 Murdock Circle.Email: groberts@sun-herald.comPRESERVEFROM PAGE 1 wasn’t home, I looked at the site and saw what people were saying.†Francesca was being called immature and untalented for a grown woman. People were saying she needed vocal lessons. She realized the video made her seem older than 13. “Once people learned my real age, they started to apologize,†she said. “Some of the damage was done. It made me feel bad about myself. But then my mom said I had to focus on all of the positive things instead of the negative. People had changed their mind about me. Some were saying I have a great voice for my age.†It was the feeling of being bullied that inspired Francesca to write a book — “Guia para un mundo mejorâ€, A Guide to a Better World†— with her mother and her producer. It’s geared toward children and adolescents with topics such as dealing with bullying, and having respect for parents and the community. “I realized all of the bad habits us humans have today,†she said. “If we just change little things, we could make the world a better place. We wrote the book to emphasize the problems we have and how we could make changes to help others. I wrote a whole chapter on bullying.†The book, which is available through Amazon, is also being translated into English to be sold locally, she said. Francesca went on to make another song and video called “Fiesta in the City.†In the video she walks down a stairway covered with pigeons. It showcases beautiful areas of the Dominican Republic. “Working with the birds terried me,†she said. “I could not stop freaking out. They were throwing corn to keep the birds near the set. At the end of the video, I didn’t care anymore. I just wanted it to be over. The thing is, it was really fun making the video, all except for the birds.†After returning to the Dominican Republic once a month for nine months, Francesca has a following there and in Miami and New York. “I’ve visited 40 TV stations and 30 radio stations,†she said. “I was invited to perform during Carnival in three different cities in the Dominican Republic. The most was for about 1,000 people. It was a lot of fun and a great experience.†Since Francesca was old enough to walk, she loved music. Before she was 7, she played the guitar. Her dad, Frank, who is Italian-American and loves Spanish music, taught his daughter a variety of songs. Francesca, who speaks Spanish uently, made a four-song album at KDS Music Studio in Orlando when she was 11. Since then, she has put out an album of 11 songs that is for sale on iTunes. She sang six from her album at her Carnival performances. “I’ve fallen in love with the idea of singing professionally,†she said. “I want to be famous.†Frank and his wife, Josephine, say they will continue to let their daughter follow her dream. “She’s a great student, she’s well-known in the Dominican Republic and other places for her music and her videos,†he said. “She has a song with over 2 million views on YouTube.

At the Charlotte County Justice Center on Thursday, assistant public defender Toby Oonk told 20th Judicial Circuit Judge Donald Mason that Johnson, his client, still wishes to go forward with ling a petition for writ of certiorari — a sort of judicial review — with the Second District Court of Appeals. Johnson would be asking the higher court to take a look at a decision another judge made earlier this month to not dismiss charges or reassign prosecutors in the murder case and two unrelated cases. The defendant takes issue with a ruling made by 20th Judicial Circuit Judge George Richards. The judge denied a consolidated motion to dismiss and disqualify the State Attorney’s Ofce for the 20th Judicial Circuit from his cases. The defendant’s request came after Oonk learned a privileged video-chat conversation between him and Johnson from last year was recorded and then sent by Charlotte County Jail staff to prosecutors in January. Richards heard two days of testimony before deciding the video-chat was recorded in error due to a software malfunction the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Ofce didn’t know about. It was sent from the jail to prosecutors on accident, and the assistant state attorney who came into possession of the recording had not gained any information because she only viewed a brief portion of the video and didn’t hear any of it. Johnson, 32, of Port Charlotte, has been in jail since his arrest Sept. 9 — the day the body of Kello Bonhomme was found on a desolate street in the Murdock area. Last week, Johnson wrote to the Court and attorneys on both sides saying he wishes to appeal Richard’s decision. Everyone was called into court to discuss Johnson’s desire, which is against Oonk’s advice. Mason told the parties they’d reconvene Thursday to see where things stood. During the most recent hearing, Oonk told Mason he had drafted a 31-page petition for writ of cert for Johnson. The lawyer said he hadn’t led it yet because he was having trouble understanding the “nuts and bolts†about how to e-le certain documents with the Second District Court of Appeals, but he was getting help with learning how. “I do intend to le this before (Monday),†Oonk said, presenting the judge with a hard copy to show he is serious about giving his client what he wants. Both sides will meet at 1:30 p.m. Monday. Mason said if the petition for writ of cert has been led by then, trial will be suspended until the higher court reviews Richard’s decision.

She said the topic is meant to be more general to get a sense of what residents want for the city. Robinson said it’s a great opportunity to have a dialogue with North Port residents about county projects. Moore said she wants the meeting to be a “social experience,†meaning people can ask questions via social media apps, like Twitter and/or Facebook.

Our Town Page 12 E/N/C www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Friday, March 20, 2015 LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWS NOKOMIS — A motor cyclist who lost control while slowing down for traffic Wednesday night on U.S. 41 is now in serious condition, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. David M. Robinson, 50, of Nokomis, was riding south on U.S. 41 around 10:20 p.m., nearing the intersection of Avenida de Palma when he noticed traffic in the northbound lane turning left in front of him. The report states Robinson, driving a 2005 Honda VTX1800, began braking for the traffic turning in front of him in the inter section, but then lost control. Troopers said the motorcycle overturned on its left side, causing Robinson to be thrown to the pavement. The report states Robinson was not wearing a helmet. He was taken to Blake Medical Trauma Center in Bradenton in serious condition, according to FHP troopers. Neighborhood watch: The Thursday afternoon Interstate 75 closure — near the Harborview Road exit in Charlotte County — was due to a sedan rollover on northbound I-75 around 1:30p.m. A woman was flown to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers as a trauma alert. The interstate was closed for about a half-hour so the helicopter could land. Two other people in the car refused to go to a hospital.

In return, the Iranians would get quick relief from some crippling economic sanctions and a partial lift of a U.N. embargo on conventional arms. Agreement on Iran’s uranium enrichment program could signal a breakthrough for a larger deal aimed at containing the Islamic Republic’s nuclear activities. The sides are racing to meet a March 31 deadline for a framework pact and a full agreement by the end of June — even as the U.S. Congress keeps up pressure on the administration to avoid any agreement leaving Iran with an avenue to become a nuclear power. Ofcials said the tentative deal imposes at least a decade of new limits on the number of centrifuges Iran can operate to enrich uranium, a process that can lead to nuclear weapons-grade material.

Khalifa Hifter, warned in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday that Europe will face inltration by Islamic State group militants from Libya if the West fails to support his forces with arms and ammunition. The Islamic State group has seized control of at least two cities along Libya’s long Mediterranean coastline and has a strong presence in several others, its rst major expansion from its base in Syria and Iraq. In a sign of the group’s reach, it claimed responsibility on Thursday for an attack a day earlier on a museum in neighboring Tunisia that killed 23 people, mostly foreign tourists. The militants have been able to expand by taking advantage of the chaos in Libya, where rival governments are ghting for power. The elected government, which is internationally recognized and which Hifter backs, was driven out of the capital, Tripoli, last year and has been relegated to the small eastern city of Tobruk and other nearby towns. A bloc of Islamist parties, backed by militias, has set up its own government in Tripoli.Libya army chief warns of Islamic State spreadBy MOUNIR AL-DRISI and MAGGIE MICHAELASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERSLIBYA | 4 NEW YORK — Well before this week’s elections, Israel had already become a source of division for American Jews, who bitterly debated the ever-expanding Jewish settlements in Palestinian territories and the acceptable boundaries of dissent from Israeli policies. The outcome of the Israeli election will only deepen that polarization, experts say. Benjamin Netanyahu’s anti-Arab campaign rhetoric and his rejection of a Palestinian state, they say, will further splinter American Jews into hard left and right camps, and intensify conicts over what it means to be loyal to the Jewish state. “The trend toward fragmentation and weakening the center — those trends are already in place and they’re just going to gallop forward now,†said Theodore Sasson, a Jewish-studies professor at Middlebury College and author of “The New American Zionism.†“It’s going to make Israel an even more divisive issue in the American Jewish community.â€Post-election, a widening USJewish split over IsraelBy RACHEL ZOLLAP RELIGION WRITER JEWISH | 4 AP PHOTOIn this Wednesday photo, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu greets supporters at the party’s election headquarters in Tel Aviv.LONGMONT, Colo. — A Colorado woman accused of cutting open the belly of a pregnant woman and removing her unborn baby from her womb had told her family she was expecting a baby boy and had arranged to meet her husband for a prenatal appointment on Wednesday, the same day of the attack, according to court documents.

Page 2 WIRE www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Friday, March 20, 2015 NATIONAL NEWS WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans in Congress advanced balanced-budget plans bristling with cuts in Medicaid and other benet programs Thursday, determined to make a down payment on last fall’s campaign promise to erase decits by the end of the decade. Last-minute maneuvering to match Pentagon spending levels requested by President Barack Obama consumed GOP lawmakers in both the House Budget Committee and the counterpart Senate panel. Yet the GOP’s focus also extended to decit reduction, repeal of the health care law, an overhaul of the tax code and other budget priorities long advocated by conservatives in control of both houses of Congress for the rst time in nearly a decade. “By demanding Washington live within its means, we are forcing government to be more efcient, effective and accountable,†Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., said after gaveling the House’s ver sion of the budget through its Budget Committee on a 22-13 party-line vote. The Senate budget panel, chaired by Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., followed suit a few hours later, on a 1210 vote that also fell along party lines. Critics voiced their dissatisfaction in unspar ing terms. “What they are proposing is to cut programs for some of the most vulnerable people in this country — the elderly, children, sick low-income people†said Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who may run for president next year as a Democrat. “At the same time they want to give signicant tax breaks to the wealthy and the large corporations.†Both the House and Senate budget blueprints called for more than $5 trillion in decit reduction over the next decade, the overwhelming portion of it coming from repeal of the health care law and savings from social programs including Medicaid, welfare, food stamps and Medicare. Details were sparse or, in some cases, nonexistent. There were differences in the two plans, to be sure. For the third year in a row, House Republicans showed an eagerness to convert Medicare into a voucher-like program for individuals who enroll beginning in 2024, a change that would generate signicant budget savings only in the longer term. Even so, the prospect of such a major shift in the program that provides health care for 40 million seniors unnerved Senate Republicans, already eyeing the 2016 campaign in which they must defend their newly won majority. They omitted mention of it in their proposal. Both blueprints envisioned an overhaul of the tax code, details to be determined later. Red ink was projected to give way to a small surplus in 2024 in the House plan, and one year later under the Senate’s scenario. Pentagon spending was controversial, improbably so for a party that has long enjoyed more favorable public ratings on defense than Democrats. In both houses, though, defense hawks had to struggle with fellow conservatives for whom decits were an equal concern. After an overnight delay caused by internal differ ences, House Republicans agreed to settle the matter next week, when they are expected to add $38 billion to their defense plan to match Obama’s requested increase. Enzi struggled with the same issue in the Senate committee, where numer ous Republicans said he had shortchanged defense by proposing less than Obama recommended. On the Senate budget panel, a second White House hopeful, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., won party-line 12-10 approval of a $38 billion proposal to raise military spending to levels the House is expected to approve next week.House, Senate panels adopt balanced-budget plans (The Washington Post) — A new species found in North Carolina is one of the oldest and largest crocodile relatives ever known. Back before dinosaurs were the big bads of our continent, Carnufex carolinensis ruled the scene. At nine feet long and walking on its hind legs, this croc would have been a erce predator 230 million years ago. Researchers described the species (which translates to “Carolina Butcher,†which is awesome) for the rst time Thursday in Scientic Reports. Its bones may have been found in a quarry, but back in the Butcher’s day North Carolina was a lush, warm, wet region just beginning to pull away from the supercontinent of Pangea. And in that region, it seems, an upright crocodile roamed. The Carnufex carolinensis fossil was actually discovered a decade ago, but its bones have been sitting in the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences ever since. “When we got the bones out and prepared them, we found out that it was actually a really cool species,†said Lindsay Zanno, assistant professor at North Carolina State University and lead author of the new research paper. “It was one of the oldest and largest members of crocodylomorph — the same group that crocodiles belong to — that we’ve ever seen. And that size was really surprising.†Most croc relatives from that time were smaller in size and seemed lower on the food chain. They were about the same size — and threat to prey — as a fox. But at nine feet long — a height it stretched to fully by walking on two legs — the Carolina Butcher would have been one of the ercest animals around, if not the very ercest. Peru was a crocodile paradise before the Amazon River went and ruined it. In other regions, early dinosaurs were vying for top-dog status, causing something of a predator-pile-up. But this is the rst time a croc ancestor has been shown in the mix. “It was clearly a top predator,†Zanno said. “That’s a niche we didn’t know animals like this were lling.†So why don’t we hang out with bipedal crocodiles of doom today? As the Triassic period ended, this glut of predators gave way to the reign of the dinosaurs. Big burly crocs couldn’t compete, but the little guys lived to see another day.Before dinosaurs, the giant ‘Carolina Butcher’ was a North American terror WASHINGTON (Washington Post) — President Barack Obama signed an executive order Thursday dictating the federal government will cut its greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent over the next decade from 2008 levels and increase the share of renewable energy in the federal government’s electricity supply to 30 percent during that same period. Simultaneously, federal suppliers including Honeywell, IBM, General Electric and other major U.S. rms are pledging to reduce their own carbon footprint by 5 million metric tons over the next 10 years compared with 2008 levels. Taken together with the new executive order this would cut overall U.S. emissions by 26 million tons by 2025, the equivalent of taking nearly 5.5 million cars off the roads for a year. Speaking to reporters Thursday at the Energy Department, Obama said, “America once again is going to be leading by example.†“So we’re proving that it is possible to grow our economy robustly while at the same time doing the right thing for our environment and tackling climate change in a serious way,†he said. White House senior adviser Brian Deese estimated the new measures will save $18 billion; the federal government has already cut its overall emissions 17 percent since Obama took ofce, saving $1.8 billion. The executive order detailed how the government will meet the new climate target. This will include reducing energy use in federal buildings by 2.5 percent per year between 2015 and 2025, instructing agencies to obtain 25 percent of their energy from carbon-free sources by 2025; and increasing the carbon-per-mile efciency of federal eets 30 percent from 2014 levels over the next decade while increasing the percentage of zero emission and plug-in hybrid vehicles in federal eets.Obama to cut federal government’s carbon emissions AP PHOTOPresident Barack Obama speaks during a meeting at the Energy Department in Washington, Thursday. | NATIONAL NEWS BRIEFSPoll: Public unaware Obama’s health law is again in jeopardyWASHINGTON (AP) — With a decision due by summer in a Supreme Court case that could unravel President Barack Obama’s health care law, a new poll nds many Americans have heard nothing about the case. But when the potential fallout is explained, most say it would hurt the country and they would look to Congress or the states to x it. Although recent oral arguments before the Supreme Court got national media attention, 53 percent said they were unfamiliar with the case, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll released Thursday. When people were asked about the potential consequences of a Supreme Court ruling to deny nancial assistance in states with federally run insurance markets, 62 percent said that would have a negative impact on the country.Judge won’t release grand jury testimony in chokehold deathNEW YORK (AP) — A judge on Thursday refused to release testimony heard by a grand jury that declined to indict a police ofcer in the chokehold death of Eric Garner, nding he hadn’t heard a valid reason to make the secret information public. The New York Civil Liberties Union and others had asked the court to order Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan to release the grand jury transcript, including the testimony of the ofcer involved, Daniel Pantaleo, and dozens of witnesses, detailed descriptions of evidence and other documentation. The effort to make the Garner grand jury record public had been considered a longshot given that New York laws explicitly bar disclosure absent a court order. But the decision also comes amid a debate over whether the laws should be revised to provide more transparency in the process, particularly when it involves police shootings.Study: Fast-food limits didn’t cut obesity rate in South LALOS ANGELES (AP) — A much-hailed law that restricted the opening of new stand-alone fast-food restaurants in one of the poorest sections of Los Angeles did not curb obesity or improve diets, a new study found. City lawmakers passed the zoning ordinance in 2008 that limited the opening or expansion of fast-food outlets in a 32-square-mile area south of Interstate 10 that struggles with high obesity rates and other health problems. The law, believed to be the rst effort of its kind by a major city to improve public health, did not ban new eateries in strip malls. The research by the Rand Corp. think tank found that obesity rates in South Los Angeles continued to rise after passage of the law. “It had no meaningful effect,†Rand senior economist Roland Sturm said.Judge OKs $10M settlement in Target data breach(AP) — A Minnesota judge has endorsed a settle ment in which Target Corp. will pay $10 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over a massive data breach in 2013. U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson said at a hearing Thursday in St. Paul, Minn., that he would grant preliminary approval of the settlement in a written order, probably later in the day. The move will allow people to begin ling claims ahead of another hearing for nal approval, which he’ll hold in late October or early November. People affected by the breach can le for up to $10,000 with proof of their losses, including unauthorized charges, higher fees or interest rates, and lost time dealing with the problem.Utah governor says he’ll likely approve firing squad billSALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah’s governor said Thursday he is leaning toward signing a proposal that would make his state the only one to allow ring-squad executions if lethal injection drugs are unavailable. Republican Gov. Gary Herbert said Utah is a capital punishment state and needs a backup method to carry out executions if a shortage of lethal injection drugs continues. However, Herbert said he doesn’t think Utah will need to use the ring squad because there are ways to nd the drugs. And state corrections ofcials “will take whatever steps are necessary†to obtain them, the governor said at his monthly news confer ence televised on KUEDTV. He didn’t elaborate. It’s unclear when Herbert will ofcially sign the bill. He has until April 1 to make the decision.Calif. governor proposes $1B in drought spendingSACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative leaders on Thursday proposed legislation to accelerate more than $1 billion in drought-relief spending for California as it copes with a fourth dry year and Brown urges residents to reduce water use. “We need to get the money out the door now for shovel-ready projects and existing water programs that only need funding to get started,†Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon said. “No delay. No red tape.†Brown said the proposal accelerates spending that voters have already approved for water and ood projects, including last year’s $7.5 billion bond measure.Boy survives 50-foot fall into gorge at Ohio parkCLEVELAND (AP) — A 7-year-old boy who wandered away from home apparently fell about 50 feet from a sheer rock face down into a gorge at a nearby park, authorities said Thursday. Andrew Nickol can’t describe what happened to him. He’s autistic and doesn’t speak. His paternal grandmother, Charlotte Nickol, said Andrew is in a hospital with a fractured pelvis, a broken hand and internal bruising, but he is expected to recover. He might go home in a few days if he’s not sent to a rehabilitation facility, she said. “God watches out for him,†Charlotte Nickol said. “He’s a very lovable boy, but he can’t express himself to us.†The boy fell at Gorge Metro Park in the Akron suburb of Cuyahoga Falls. Steep trails lead from the top of the park down to a gorge created by the Cuyahoga River.

Donut Bar, with outlets in Fountain Valley and San Diego, calls the 1-pound creation the “Big Poppa Tart Donut.†It’s appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,†“the Steve Harvey Show,†BuzzFeed and TV news. The 2-inch-thick square is stuffed with strawberry jam and a strawberry Pop Tart, then topped with diced Pop Tart, sprinkles and drizzled jam. Donut Bar sells about 150 of the doughnuts daily, at $4 each.

A doctor told investigators the incision in the mother’s belly was well performed and would have required some research on Cesarean births, the documents said. Meanwhile, according to an afdavit for Lane’s arrest, the baby’s mother — a 26-year-old woman investigators say was lured to the home by a Craigslist ad for baby clothes— was still in the house. She managed to call 911 and police arrived to help her sometime after the Lanes left for the hospital. In a recording of the call, a woman with a dazed-sounding voice says she has been stabbed and pleads for help. “She cut me,†the woman says, later adding, “I’m pregnant.†“Please help me,†she says. “Help, help.†Police said the woman was alert and answering questions Thursday. District Attorney Stan Garnett said she was doing better than ofcials had expected. Lane was arrested at the hospital on suspicion of attempted rst-degree murder, rst-degree assault and child abuse knowingly and recklessly resulting in death. She appeared in court briey Thursday to be advised of the possible charges against her. Under Colorado law, Lane could only face murder charges in the baby’s death if the baby did indeed live outside the mother’s womb, an issue that has been a controversial one in the state. Garnett said he will wait for the results of an autopsy on the baby, planned for Friday, to determine when the baby died and how to deter mine what charges to le. In a sign of how critical those issues will be, Lane’s defense lawyer has asked for an expert to be present during the examination. Garnett would not comment on whether mental illness is a question in the case but said prosecutors were looking at Lane’s history.

In a 2013 survey by the Pew Research Center, about 70 percent of American Jews said they felt very or somewhat attached to Israel, regardless of any misgivings about the country’s policies. Most scholars don’t expect that emotional connection to weaken for now because of Netanyahu’s victory. However, his last-minute attempt to turn out voters by warning Arab citizens were voting “in droves†rankled many American Jews, who are overwhelming liberal and deeply involved in advocating for civil rights. The World Union for Progressive Judaism, which represents the liberal Reform Movement, the largest branch of Judaism in the U.S., said in a statement, “No public gure should lament fellow citizens exercising their right to vote freely, expressing themselves openly, and peacefully in accordance with the values of a democracy.†Netanyahu’s disavowal of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conict has been met with alarm in the United States. Support for a twostate solution has been a central goal for most Jewish pro-Israel groups. Rabbi Steve Gutow, president of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the public policy arm for Jewish community agencies around the country, released a statement congratulating Netanyahu, then added, “we believe that progress can be made in creating two states for two peoples, and that the next government can make sure that all Israelis, Arab and Jew alike, feel a sense of security and belonging in the nation we care so deeply about.†Rabbi Rick Jacobs, head of the Union for Reform Judaism, an association of 862 American synagogues, said in a phone interview that rejecting a Palestinian state “ies in the face of every demographic study of American Jewry and what aligns with their values.†But the hawkish Zionist Organization of America called the election outcome “a victory for realism and security, and a defeat for policies based on fantasy and appeasement.â€JEWISHFROM PAGE 1 Hifter, once a top general of Moammar Gadha before turning against him decades ago, is a controversial gure. Supporters see him as the country’s savior from Islamic militants, while opponents accuse him of seeking to grab power on behalf of supporters of Gadha’s former regime, which was ousted in 2011. He was recently named military chief by the Tobruk-based parliament, and spoke to the AP in one of his eastern strongholds, al-Marj, where he has wide tribal support. He said his forces need backing from the West against the Islamic State group. “We want weapons and ammunition only. We have the men. The army is increasing in number every day,†he said. He warned that IS militants will “spread in even the European countries if (the West) doesn’t offer real help to the Libyan people, especially the Libyan army.†The extremists, he said, “will head with the illegal migrants to Europe, where corruption and destruction will spread just like Libya. But there it will be hard to confront them.†The number of Islamic State militants has grown to an estimated 7,000 to 7,500, Hifter said, including ghters from African, Arab and Middle Eastern countries trained in Syria.LIBYAFROM PAGE 1 of 6,000 centrifuges, ofcials said, down from the 6,500 they spoke of in recent weeks. That’s also fewer than the 10,000 such machines Tehran now runs, yet substantially more than the 500 to 1,500 that Washington originally wanted as a ceiling. Only a year ago, U.S. ofcials oated 4,000 as a possible compromise. But U.S. ofcials insist the focus on centrifuge numbers alone misses the point. Combined with other restrictions on enrichment levels and the types of centrifuges Iran can use, Washington believes it can extend the time Tehran would need to produce a nuclear weapon to at least a year. Right now, Iran would require only two to three months to amass enough material to make a bomb. The pressure in Congress on the administration over Iran remained intense, with the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee saying he would move ahead with legislation giving lawmakers a say over any nuclear deal. And 360 House Republicans and Democrats — more than enough to override any presidential veto — sent a letter to Obama saying if an agreement is reached, Congress will decide on easing sanctions it has imposed. “Congress must be convinced that its terms foreclose any pathway to a bomb, and only then will Congress be able to consider permanent sanctions relief,†the lawmakers wrote. Rep. Eliot Engel of New York, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told administration ofcials at a hearing Thursday that Congress cannot be marginalized and “any attempts to sidestep Congress will be resisted on both sides of the aisle.†The one-year breakout time has become a point the Obama administration is reluctant to cross in the set of highly technical talks, and that bare minimum would be maintained for 10 years as part of the draft deal. After that, the restrictions would be slowly eased. The total length of the deal would be at least 15 years, possibly 20. As part of the agreement, punitive U.S. economic sanctions would be phased out over time. President Barack Obama has the authority to eliminate some measures immediately, and others would be suspended as Iran conrms its compliance over time. Some sanctions would be held to the later years of the deal, while a last set would require a highly skeptical U.S. Congress to change laws.NUKEFROM PAGE 1TALLAHASSEE — A Senate panel approved a revamped version of testing legislation Thursday, potentially paving the way for an audit of the botched rollout of the state’s new standardized tests and making clear that school districts would be repaid if the state recovers damages from the contractor running the exams. The new version of the legislation (SB 616) also moves closer to a similar proposal from the House (HB 7069), lawmakers said, and provides additional exibility for school districts when it comes to evaluating teachers. The Senate Education Appropriations Subcommittee voted 7-1 to approve the measure. State ofcials still have not decided whether to pursue sanctions against American Institutes for Research, a nonprot group that signed a sixyear, $220 million deal with the state to develop and administer the new Florida Standards Assessments. The rst round of testing earlier this month was plagued by slow logins, other technology issues and, ultimately, a suspected cyberattack. But an amendment to the Senate bill by Sen. John Legg, R-Lutz, would require that money be re turned to school districts if the state does recover any. “In summary, we are requesting that the DOE go after any liquidated damages that the state may be entitled to as a result of this rollout, and then that we would reimburse and funnel those moneys back to the districts to help them offset some of the costs that could have or may occur as a result of administrating any assessments,†Legg said. Another amendment, offered by Sen. Jeremy Ring, D-Margate, calls for an audit if the testing administration “does not comply with the minimum assessment protocols and requirements established by the department.†AIR has shouldered most of the blame for the troubled introduction of the tests, which came as lawmakers were already looking at legislation to pare back assessments amid parental complaints of over-testing. Changes to the Senate bill would also give school districts more exibility on some assessments and in setting standards for different levels of achievement on teachers’ evaluations. The House bill has been received more favorably by education advocates, in part because it gives districts more leeway. Most of the original provisions of the Senate bill remain. The proposal would cap at 5 percent the share of students’ time that can be spent on testing and scrap a law requiring school districts to come up with end-ofcourse tests in classes where the state doesn’t administer such exams. It would also allow schools and school districts to seek waivers from being assigned letter grades due to implementation issues with the state’s new test — if they give up school recognition funding — and would reduce from 50 percent to a third the portion of a teacher’s evaluation tied to student performance.Senate bill looks at testing falloutBy BRANDON LARRABEENEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA WRITER BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A federal judge who has blocked President Barack Obama’s immigration executive action suggested on Thursday that he could order sanctions against the Justice Department if he rules it misled him about when exactly the administration began implementing one of the measures. During a sometimes testy court hearing, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen went back and forth with the Justice Department over whether it had misled him into believing that a key part of Obama’s program would not be implemented before he made a ruling on a request for a preliminary injunction. In fact, federal ofcials had given more than 108,000 people threeyear reprieves from depor tation before that date and granted them work permits under a program that protects young immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. Obama’s executive actions would spare from deportation as many as 5 million people who are in the U.S. illegally. Many Republicans oppose the actions, saying only Congress has the right to take such sweeping action. Twenty-six states led by Texas joined together to challenge them as unconstitutional. Hanen on Feb. 16 sided with the states, issuing a preliminary injunction blocking Obama’s actions. Hanen chided Justice Department attorney Kathleen Hartnett on Thursday for telling him at a January hearing before the injunction was issued that nothing would be happening with regard to one key part of Obama’s actions, an expansion of the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, until Feb. 18. “Like an idiot I believed that,†Hanen said. A ustered Hartnett repeatedly apologized to Hanen for any confusion related to how the re prieves and work permits were granted. “We strive to be as candid as possible. It truly became clear to us there was confusion on this point,†she said. Hartnett continued to insist that the 108,081 reprieves had been granted under 2012 guidelines, which were not stopped by the injunction, and that government attorneys hadn’t properly explained this because they had been focused on other parts of the proposed action. But Hanen pointed out that the 2012 guidelines only granted two-year reprieves and that three-year reprieves are being proposed under the program now on hold. The states asked that Hanen consider issuing sanctions because Justice Department attorneys had made “representations (that) proved not to be true or at a minimum less than forthcoming,†said Angela Colmenero, a lawyer with the Texas Attorney General’s Ofce, the lead attorney for the states.Judge: Sanctions possible in immigration court case LIVEFLO7rJN;

The Sun /Friday, March 20, 2015 www.sunnewspapers.net WIRE Page 5 STATE NEWSTALLAHASSEE — In a move that creates a $5 billion divide with the House, the Senate released a budget proposal Thursday that banks on expanding health care coverage for low-income Floridians and extending a critical funding program for hospitals. The Senate proposal, approved by a key budget panel and touted by President Andy Gardiner, reinforces that health care funding could be the most vexing issue facing lawmakers during the rest of this year’s legislative session. Senators included $2.8 billion in the budget proposal to pay for an expansion of health care coverage that is an outgrowth of the federal Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. House Republican leaders have rejected such proposals during the past two years — and have shown no willingness to go along with a revised Senate expansion plan this year. If the expansion ultimately is approved, the federal government would cover the $2.8 billion rst-year costs of the plan, which the Senate has dubbed the Florida Health Insurance Affordability Exchange Program, or FHIX. The Senate budget proposal also includes nearly $2.2 billion for the continuation of the Low Income Pool program, which in recent years has funneled additional money to hospitals and other health providers that serve large numbers of poor and uninsured patients. The program, known as LIP, is scheduled to expire June 30 unless the state can reach agreement with the federal government on an extension. Amid such uncertainty, a House budget proposal released this week did not include the money. Senate Health and Human Services Appropriations Chairman Rene Garcia, R-Hialeah, said the Senate has put together a revised formula for distributing the LIP money to hospitals. Garcia, whose subcommittee approved the budget proposal Thursday, said he hopes the formula would address concerns raised by the federal government about the program. “We’re assuming that LIP is going to continue,’’ Garcia said. But Garcia’s counter part, House Health Care Appropriations Chairman Matt Hudson, R-Naples, said this week it would be premature to include the LIP money in initial budget plans. Ofcials from the state Agency for Health Care Administration and the Obama administration have been in negotiations about an extension, but it remains unclear what changes might be needed to continue the program past June 30. Hudson and House Speaker Steve Crisafulli, R-Merritt Island, said lawmakers are in a similar position as last year, when the program also was slated to expire. The House and Senate did not include LIP money in their initial budget proposals last year but added the money after an agreement was reached for a one-year extension of the program. The House and Senate in the coming weeks will hammer out an overall state budget for the scal year that starts July 1. Committees in both chambers this week released initial spending proposals, which will be a basis for later talks. The Senate’s health and human services proposal released Thursday totals $35.2 billion, while a House proposal released earlier in the week totals $30.2 billion. While the pro posals likely have myriad differences about details, the overall $5 billion gap is driven by the health expansion and LIP issues. Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government would pay the vast majority of costs for states that expand Medicaid coverage. A proposal (SB 7044) moving through the Senate would accept the federal money but offer expanded coverage through private insurers. The federal government would have to sign off on the Senate proposal. While Washington would pay the entire $2.8 billion during the upcoming 2015-16 scal year, the state would have to pay relatively small portions of the expansion costs in later years. Though the House and Senate have disagreed about plans to expand coverage, they both want an extension of the LIP program. Under the program, Florida uses money put up by local governments — primarily from areas such as Miami-Dade and Broward counties — and draws down federal matching funds. Money is then distributed to hospitals and other providers in various parts of the state. In granting an extension last year, federal ofcials made clear they wanted changes in the way LIP is constructed. Among the issues has been devising a new formula for distributing money to hospitals.Health expansion, LIP program divide budget proposalsBy JIM SAUNDERSNEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA WRITER initial budget plans. Ofcials from the state Agency for Administration and the Obama administration have been in negotiations about an TALLAHASSEE — The Senate doesn’t intend for Florida to acquire much land in the rst year of increased funding under a voter-approved constitutional amendment aimed at land and water conservation. The Senate General Government Appropriations Subcommittee on Thursday released a $714.2 million proposal, which was absent local projects and includes just $22 million for land acquisition, to meet the funding requirements of the November referendum known as Amendment 1. Sen. Alan Hays, a Umatilla Republican who is chairman of the subcommittee, said the state might already have enough land within its preservation inventory. Meanwhile, backers of the amendment were even more critical of the Senate plan than they had been of a House offering released Tuesday. “It’s hard for me to understand what the Senate doesn’t understand about the words Land Acquisition Trust Fund,†said Will Abberger, a leader of the effort to pass the constitutional amendment. The amendment specifically said money would go to the Land Acquisition Trust Fund, and the House and Senate are advancing legislation that would pool all Amendment 1 money into the trust fund. “It is pretty clear that Sen. Hays intended to leave parks and wildlife habitat out of his budget,†said Audubon Florida Executive Director Eric Draper, a lobbyist on environmental issues. “They have done every thing that they can to shift agency expenses into the Constitution,†Draper continued after the meeting. “If they could nd a way to pay for the towels in the executive washrooms with Amendment 1 they did it.†Hays said the will of the voters is “open to interpretation†and that he’s been ooded with email and phone calls from people claiming the state doesn’t need to buy more land. Of the land acquisition funding, $2 million would go to the Florida Forever program, and the rest would be used to pick up easements along the Kissimmee River to help reduce pollutants owing into Lake Okeechobee. The bulk of the budget proposal continues existing conservation programs, including agency costs and debt service for the Florida Forever program, Everglades restoration and water-management districts. The Senate in the coming weeks will negotiate spending details with the House, which released a proposed $772.1 million package. The Senate measure also drew opposition from within the subcommittee as Sen. Thad Altman, R-Rockledge, said he intends to offer amendments that could increase land-acquisition funding. “The people of Florida overwhelmingly want to preserve what we have left of Florida,†Altman, who voted for the amendment, said after the meeting. “This whole initiative was based on acquiring land and improving it for the purposes of preservation.†Draper and Abberger said they’re hopeful that Gov. Rick Scott, who has proposed $100 million for Florida Forever, will use his ofce to increase the land-acquisition funding. Janet Bowman of The Nature Conservancy said she would “certainly prefer†the House plan, which includes increasing from $5 million to $25 mil lion the annual funding for the Rural and Family Lands program and includes $105 million for land management. The Senate plan lists $25 million for trail management but doesn’t include money for the Rural and Family Lands program. The constitutional amendment, approved by about 75 percent of voters, lays out for 20 years an increase in funding for land and water conservation. The amendment requires 33 percent of the proceeds from a real estate tax to go for land and water projects. The funding level is currently projected to generate $741 million in next year’s budget, more than $200 million above what lawmakers allocated for such uses in the current year. Both the House and Senate offer few directives on how the increased funding will be used for individual local programs. But both proposals double funding for the state’s natural springs to $50 million and offer $25 million for beach restoration. The House, meanwhile, has put up $100 million for Everglades restoration. The Senate is at $82 million. The House is at $91.6 million for the management of state parks, greenways and wildlife management areas, while the Senate is at $25 million. The House also offers $25 million for wastewater plans in the Florida Keys. The Senate doesn’t address the Keys wastewater issue.Little land buying in Senate’s Amendment 1 planBy JIM TURNERNEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA mil lion the annual funding for the Rural and $105 for land management.

Emailed him at ssachkar@ sun-herald.com, or fax business information to 941-429-3007.St. Mary’s Easter Bazaar is today Steve Sachkar NEW YORK (AP) — Nobody knows when exactly, but the day will eventually come when the Federal Reserve nudges its benchmark lending rate from next to zero to something slightly higher. When that happens, it will put upward pressure on borrowing rates throughout the economy — for credit cards, mortgages and student loans. But that doesn’t mean the era of incredibly low interest rates will soon be over. The Fed’s chair, Janet Yellen, has taken pains to be cautious. On Wednesday, the central bank gave more signals that it will move slowly to ward its rst interest-rate increase in nearly a decade. By the end of the year, Fed ofcials expect the benchmark rate will reach 0.625 percent. It was a different world the last time the Fed began a series of hikes. Rates were already much higher than today. In June 2004, the Fed lifted its benchmark rate from 1 percent to 1.25 percent. By the time the Fed was nished in 2006, the rate had reached 5.25 percent. Nobody expects any thing like that now. With the economy still growing slowly and ination minuscule, rates will likely hover near historic lows. The Fed doesn’t want to ratchet up the monthly payments on your credit card. It’s in no rush. “You’re going to see rates remain low for quite some time,†says Patrick Maldari, senior xed-income specialist at Aberdeen Asset Management.HousingMany expect mortgage rates to creep higher this year. The average 30-year mortgage carries a rate of 3.7 percent, according to Freddie Mac. That’s close to a record low of 3.31 per cent and compares with an average rate of 5.9 per cent a decade ago. Greg McBride, chief nancial analyst at Bankrate.com, thinks homeowners ought to lock in mortgage rates as long as they remain below 4 percent. If you haven’t renanced already, in other words, consider it soon. Home loans won’t hinge on the Fed’s next move, though. Mortgage rates are closely tied to long-term interest rates, specically the 10-year Treasury note. These rates are tethered to the Fed’s benchmark yet have plenty of wiggle room. The 10-year yield has actually been falling over the past year. The reason? The Treasury market is dominated by global players. So when Europe’s economy runs into trouble, for example, traders around the world look for safety in the Treasury mar ket, buying U.S. government bonds and pushing yields down. Another factor: The Fed is keeping a lid on yields by sitting on trillions of dollars of Treasurys following a huge bond-buying program that ended last year.Credit cardsCredit card rates could start to inch up once the Fed raises its benchmark federal funds rate — especially the low teaser rates credit card issuers use to entice people to sign up or shift credit card balances. McBride advises that borrowers “grab those zero-interest balance transfers and introductory credit card rates. As the Fed moves away from zero interest rates later this year, credit card issuers will too. Chip away at your variable-rate debt now before interest rates start to climb.†Credit card rates remain high — variable credit card rates average nearly 15.8 percent, according to Bankrate.com. But they could head higher if the fed funds rate goes up. That’s because credit card rates are based on the prime rate that banks charge their best customers, and the prime rate is based on the Fed funds rate.InvestmentsTo judge by the stock market’s daily swings, investors fear the Fed’s rst rate increase. Speculation that the Fed is preparing to move usually knocks stocks down. But the market has actually per formed well in the face of rising interest rates. A recent report from UBS looked at the Fed’s initial rate hikes going back to 1954. It showed that the Standard & Poor’s 500 index rallied an average of 7.6 percent in the next six months. Many investors are condent that as long as the Fed moves gradually, the stock market should be ne.Fed won’t have big impact on your loans anytime soon NEW YORK (AP) — Another drop in oil prices helped drive the stock market to a loss on Thursday, as major indexes gave up their gains from the day before. Chevron, Exxon Mobil and other energy companies led stocks down. Benchmark U.S. oil sank 70 cents to close at $43.96 a barrel in New York, extending a slump that has slashed prices by more than half over the past year. “Given the big drop that we’ve had the big question is, when does oil hit bottom?†said Jeff Carbone, a senior partner at Cornerstone Financial Partners in Charlotte, N.C. “I don’t think oil will bottom out until a company or a country inches and cuts production. Right now producers are still pumping as much as they can.†It was Apple’s rst day as a member of the Dow Jones industrial average, as the maker of iPhones, iPads and other gadgets replaced AT&T. Goldman Sachs also took Visa’s title as the most expensive stock among the blue chips. Because the Dow weighs its 30 companies by their share price instead of their market value, a stock split for Visa pushed the payment processor off its perch. The Standard & Poor’s 500 fell 10.23 points, or 0.5 percent, to 2,089.27. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 117.16 points, or 0.6 percent, to 17,959.03. The Nasdaq composite rose 9.55 points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,992.38. The economic news out Thursday gave investors little encouragement to drive stocks up. An index aimed at gauging the economy’s momentum rose by a slight amount for a second straight month, and the number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benets held steady.

The prime minister drew criticism from the United States after he said on Monday, the day before Israeli voters went to the polls, that he wouldn’t agree to the establishment of a Palestinian state while he held ofce.Islamic State group claims Tunisia attackTUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — The radical Islamic State group claimed responsibility Thursday for the attack on a famed Tunis museum that left 23 people dead and scores of tourists wounded, and upended the country’s struggling tourism industry. Defying the extremists, hundreds of Tunisians rallied Thursday at the National Bardo Museum, the site of the attack, stepping around trails of blood and broken glass to proclaim their solidarity with the victims and with Tunisia’s edgling democracy. One person carried a sign saying “Tunisia is bloodied but still standing.†Tunisian security forces arrested nine people, ve with alleged direct connections to Wednesday’s attack by two gunmen who were later slain by police, the president’s ofce said. The other four suspects arrested in the central part of the country were part of a cell supporting those involved in the attack, the statement said.Belgian foreign minister causes stir with blackened faceBRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders has come under criticism for appear ing with a blackened face at a charity event, raising questions about Belgium’s sensitivity toward racism. Reynders insisted he blackened his face only as part of a century-old Belgian tradition aimed at raising money for the poor. But human rights groups were outraged Thursday by his action over the weekend. “This man presents an image of our nation abroad,†said Wouter Van Bellingen, head of the Minorities Forum. “This is unacceptable.†Reynders posted a picture of himself blackened up on his website, and said on his Facebook page that he likes “being part of folklore at Carnival time as tradition wants it.â€Yemen president’s southern stronghold attacked by rivalsADEN, Yemen (AP) — Forces loyal to Yemen’s former president stormed the international airport in Aden on Thursday and sent ghter planes to bomb the palace in the southern port city where the current pres ident has been based since eeing from the rebel-held capital last month. Troops fended off the airport attack, the airstrikes missed the palace and President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi was in a safe place, Aden’s governor Abdel-Aziz bin Habtour said. But the violence, which he said had left 13 people dead, marked a major escalation in Hadi’s long-simmering conict with former autocrat Ali Abdullah Saleh, who is allied with the Shiite rebels, known as Houthis.Japanese police arrest suspect in US Embassy bomb threatsTOKYO (AP) — Japanese police said they arrested a man on Thursday accused of making bomb threats against the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, and media reports said he is also a possible suspect in recent death threats against Ambassador Caroline Kennedy. Tokyo police arrested Mitsuyoshi Kamiya, a resident of the southern island of Okinawa, for making the bomb threats from a pay phone in down town Okinawa, a police spokesman said. He said the suspect also threatened to bomb Camp Schwab, a U.S. military base on the island. Kamiya admitted to police that he made the bomb threats, but his motive was not immediately known, the police spokesman said. He did not provide any other details about Kamiya. Public broadcaster NHK said police also suspect Kamiya made phone calls threatening to kill Kennedy and the U.S. consul general on Okinawa. adno=50480261 }G BIG ., r.1 ;r{ :srwb"P" ;IiISJ 41i1W y..n` 1 IIIIIlliiif l4i" 1. enin9 Adcnp-JA

Center, watching the nal few moments of Texas’ loss to Butler in the NCAA tournament on television. He wasn’t smiling. Already the Big 12 had experienced a remarkably bad day. The tournament was only a few hours old and two of its best teams — Iowa State and Baylor — had been eliminated. Underwood had watched the third-seeded Cyclones’ loss to No. 14-seed Alabama-Birmingham — a team with 15 losses, second most in the eld. Georgia State, champion of the 19th-rated Sun Belt Conference, scored the game’s nal 13 points to beat Baylor 57-56 and provide one of the day’s great visuals when coach Ron Hunter fell out of his chair after his son, R.J., hit the game-winning 3-pointer. Now Texas, seeded 11th, was going down. Three Big 12 teams had played and lost before dinner on the rst day. “March Madness,†Underwood said shaking his head. “This can happen.†Thursday, it happened repeatedly to the Big 12, considered college basketball’s top conference this season, and the criticism quickly followed through social media.

On Houston’s next possession, Trevor Ariza found him in the corner and he swished a 3 under heavy pressure, to make it 50. Six straight points by the Nuggets cut the lead to 8 with about ve minutes left when the Rockets made the next ve points, capped by a step back jump shot from Harden, to make it 104-91. Harden scored seven points after that to secure the victory. It was the 29th game Harden had at least 30 points.

Minnesota (15-53) ended a six-game losing streak and snapped a tie with the Knicks (14-54) for the NBA’s worst record. New York can still win for losing, and now has pole position in the race for the No. 1 draft pick. Kevin Martin scored 22 points and Andrew Wiggins had 20 for Minnesota despite shooting 4 for 17 from the field. Gorgui Dieng finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds, and his blocked shot triggered the fast break that set up LaVine’s free throws.

It ended with his rst lead on the PGA Tour. Hoffman began his round with a 35-foot birdie putt on No. 10 and nished it with a 9-iron that touched the hole before stopping inches away for birdie. He also holed a bunker shot for eagle on the par-5 sixth, leading to a 6-under 66 and a one-shot lead in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. It all was a lot to chew on for the 25-year-old Hoffmann, who cooks his own meals to eat on the golf course (bison steak was for lunch Thursday). “Mentally, I’m in kind of a weird state right now,†he said. “My grandma passed away this morning, so I’m just pretty chilled out there and loving life right now. Just wish my family the best at home. My whole family texted me and said, ‘Nanny is playing golf with pop up there,’ which was pretty cool.†Hoffmann hopes to attend a memorial service for Dorothy Lionetti in Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday night. It should be a short trip considering Hoffmann pilots his own plane that he recently bought from his buddy David Booth, who plays left wing for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was inspired to be a pilot after meeting with the tournament host during the Palmer Cup in 2009. Hoffman, clearly, is not the garden variety PGA Tour player. “I have a lot of stuff you guys didn’t ask,†he said with a perfect smile. Not to be forgotten was his golf. He had a one-shot lead over ve players, including Ian Poulter and Kevin Na. The group at 68 included Adam Scott, Henrik Stenson and Brandt Snedeker. Poulter, who made an eagle from just off the 16th green, had his own distraction. His 3-year-old son was taken to the hospital Wednesday night with a low oxygen level and pneumonia. It was a long night, with a bit of a scare, but Joshua was doing better Thursday morning. “I suppose it was a blessing, last tee time off,†said Poulter, who was in the afternoon group of starters. Top-ranked Ko tied for lead in Founders Cup: In Phoenix, top-ranked Lydia Ko shot a 6-under 66 for a share of the lead in the suspended first round of the JTBC Founders Cup. The 17-year-old Ko rebounded from a three-putt bogey on the seventh hole with a 12-foot birdie putt on the eighth and finished with a par to join Tiffany Joh, Sophia Popov and Kim Kaufman atop the leaderboard at Desert Ridge. The start was delayed four hours because of rain and wet conditions on the Wildfire layout. Only half of the 132 players finished before play was suspended because of darkness.BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESSFront-runner shot 66 after learning grandmother diedAP PHOTOMorgan Homann watches his tee shot on the eighth hole Thursday during the rst round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando.

Speaking two hours before the start of the main games in the NCAA Tournament, Boeheim said some of the NCAA’s allegations laid out in a scathing report earlier this month are inaccurate. He called the penalties “unduly harsh.†“This is far from a program where student-athletes freely committed academic fraud,†Boeheim said. Boeheim said his plan discussed with the university’s chancellor is to retire after three more seasons, but that he will take things year by year and next season could be his last. Boeheim is already suspended for the rst half of the next Atlantic Coast Conference season, a total of nine games. The NCAA punished Boeheim and Syracuse for academic, benets and other violations that ofcials said showed the university had lost control of the athletic department. Bookies cheer as first 10 NCAA games covered by underdog: In Las Vegas, bookmakers had something to cheer about, even if the underdogs didn’t always prevail in the NCAA Tournament. Favored teams took a beating to open the tournament, with underdogs covering the spread in the first 10 games, beginning with the play-in games earlier in the week. In seven of those games, the team oddsmakers figured would lose ended up winning outright. Penn State signs coach Chambers to 2-year extension: In State College, Pa., Penn State has signed coach Pat Chambers to a two-year contract extension. Chambers is now signed through the 2018-19 season. BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NCAA TournamentLosses come in 3 (seed)sTwo wins by No. 14 seeds. Two sons winning games for their father-coaches. Two over times. The team nobody thought belonged in the eld winning a game. The Big 12 starting 0-3. And, heartbreak for Harvard. Just another opening day at the NCAA Tournament.SOUTH UAB 60, Iowa State 59: In Louisville, Ky., William Lee scored the last four points for the 14th-seeded Blazers in their upset win Thursday. The Blazers (20-15) came in as one of the youngest teams in the field and with nobody having played in this tournament before. They wound up winning the program’s first NCAA game since 2005. The third-seeded Cyclones (25-9) couldn’t hold onto a 55-51 lead with 3:13 left as the Blazers outscored Iowa State 9-4 down the stretch. UCLA 60, SMU 59: In Louisville, Ky., Bryce Alford made four 3-pointers in the final 3:40, his last on a rare goaltending call with 13 seconds remaining, to push 11th-seeded UCLA to the upset. All of Alford’s points came on nine long-range shots but his last attempt was the most debated as his shot from the left side was hit by SMU’s Yanick Moreira before it reached the rim. Officials awarded Alford, the son of coach Steve Alford, the basket, to the disbelief of SMU players and coach Larry Brown.MIDWEST Notre Dame 69, Northeastern 65: In Pittsburgh, Zach Auguste scored 25 points, Jerian Grant added 17 and Notre Dame dodged a scare trying to erase its futile NCAA Tournament history. The third-seeded Fighting Irish (30-5) returned to the tournament after a one-year absence. Butler 56, Texas 48: In Pittsburgh, Kellen Dunham scored 20 points, including a pivotal 3-pointer with 1:18 to play, to lift sixth-seeded Butler (23-10). The Longhorns (20-14) added to a miserable day for the vaunted Big 12. Texas joined Baylor and Iowa State, both No. 3 seeds, as early tournament exits. Cincinnati 66, Purdue 65, OT: In Louisville, Ky., Troy Caupain got Cincinnati to overtime with his buzzer-beating layup, then Coreontae DeBerry helped the eighth-seeded Bearcats beat No. 9 seed Purdue. The Bearcats trailed by seven with 48.5 seconds left in regulation and forced overtime with a 10-3 run. WEST North Carolina 67, Harvard 65: In Jacksonville, Justin Jackson hit a tying jumper in the final minute and then had a fast-break dunk to help fourth-seeded North Carolina edge 13th-seeded Harvard. The Tar Heels (25-11) wasted a 16-point, second-half lead and briefly trailed before Jackson came to the rescue. Georgia State 57, Baylor 56: In Jacksonville, R.J. Hunter kept firing away, eventually lifting Georgia State over Baylor and knocking his father right off his seat. Hunter’s 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds remaining capped a comeback from a 12-point deficit and lifted the 14th-seeded Panthers over the third-seeded Bears. Baylor (24-10) did not score after going up 56-44 on two free throws with 2:54 remaining. Xavier 76, Mississippi 57: In Jacksonville, Matt Stainbrook scored 20 points and Dee Davis added 17 for the sixth-seeded Musketeers. The 6-foot-10 Stainbrook took advantage of his size in the post, making 8 of 10 shots in the paint and adding nine rebounds and five assists. Davis hit 4 of 9 shots from 3-point range for Xavier (22-13). Arizona 93, Texas Southern 72: In Portland, Ore., Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 23 points, 16 in the first half, along with 10 rebounds for second-seeded Arizona. Pac-12 freshman of the year Stanley Johnson added 22 points for the balanced Wildcats (32-3), who led by as many as 27 points. Ohio State 75, VCU 72, OT: In Portland, Ore., D’Angelo Russell scored 28 points and rallied 10th-seeded Ohio State from an early 12-point deficit for the overtime win. Russell made 10 of 20 shots, including 4 of 7 from 3-point range, and added six rebounds, two steals and two blocks to bring the Buckeyes (24-10) back in both halves and overtime.EAST Villanova 93, Lafayette 52: In Pittsburgh, Villanova flexed its top-seeded muscle in thumping Lafayette, showing why President Barack Obama picked the Wildcats to reach the NCAA Tournament title game. Dylan Ennis scored 16 points and helped the Wildcats win their 16th straight game. The Big East champion Wildcats shot close to 70 percent for most of the game.BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESSIowa State, Baylor among top teams to go home AP PHOTOUAB’s Nick Norton, front right, hugs Denzell Watts after their 60-59 win over Iowa State on Thursday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in Louisville, Ky. 12 needs dance lessons. And that was the tamer stuff. The harsher criticism undoubtedly originated from those whose ofce and family NCAA brackets were trashed by having the Cyclones and Bears, who were also seeded third and lost to 14th-seeded Georgia State, bounced from the eld by one-point losses. Spokesman Josh Krulewitz tweeted that nearly 1 in 6 of ESPN’s brackets — 16 percent — had Iowa State in the Final Four, and 5.1 percent had Baylor there. Around 4:30 p.m., with six games in the books, ESPN issued a news release saying that only .1 percent of the 11.6 million brackets completed through the network’s website were still perfect, mostly because of the Big 12’s failures. “If you know anything about basketball, this tournament’s not a given to anybody,†Texas coach Rick Barnes said after his team’s loss. “All you have to do is look around today.†In fact, underdogs covered the point spread in the rst 10 games, beginning with the play-in games earlier in the week. In seven of those games, the team oddsmakers gured would lose ended up winning outright. “The dogs got out of the chute fast,†said Nick Bogdanovich, the oddsmaker for the William Hill betting chain. “It was very, very rare, just one of those things where the streak just kept going.†It wasn’t until Xavier beat Mississippi 76-57 as a two-point pick that a favorite nally covered the spread. The opportunity for Big 12 redemption comes today. Opening their NCAA Tournament quests are Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and West Virginia. And to think: Just a few days ago, the Big 12 and Kansas City were glowing over a successful confer ence tournament.BRACKETSFROM PAGE 1 adno=50479078 ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT LOCAL CLINIC OPENS!Fort Myers Doctors TreatErectile DysfunctionBY TOM SCHILLER approved, no surgery is involved andMen's Health patients will see a licensed FloridaFORT MYERS A new medical Physician."clinic staffed b y local p hysicians has Referred to as "the gold standard," b yopened in Fort Myers recently spethe International Journal of Impotencecializing in only one unique, niche Research, "Our treatment allows ourarea-men's sexual performance. local doctors to adjust the dosage for aErectile dysfunction and premature man's performance to 45-minutes, anejaculation have long been a problem hour, even 90-minutes;' according tofor millions of men in spite of the Dr. Polsky, "and patients see imme-popularity of Viagra1, Levitrag and diate results in the office.

Page 4 SP www.sunnewspapers.net The Sun /Friday, March 20, 2015 what the results are going forward, but I could only have imagined in the best, best, best of cases that we’re where we are today.†Even though Silverman had spent his 11 years with the Rays on the business side of the organization as team president, Sternberg had no qualms about immediately putting him in charge of the baseball side. “He and Andrew have worked, really, side by side since before we even took the team over. Both of them were employees effectively before I even closed the deal on the team. They were vested, involved in everything,†Sternberg said. “Andrew spent all the time in the world in Matt’s ofce, and Matt spent all the time in the world in Andrew’s ofce. The calls we had and the meetings we had, it was always us three. Matt has been studious of it. So I really didn’t (have any questions about him).†Even though Kevin Cash hasn’t managed a regular season game, Sternberg is a fan. “I love his frankness, his openness, his willingness to recognize to try things and be willing to make mistakes and then learn from them, and his work ethic and desire to get at it is incredible and refreshing,†Sternberg said. “I think we’ve got a guy here that I expect to be here for a very long time.†Sternberg is ready for Cash to help usher in an era of change in Tampa Bay. “We’ve been successful managing it in the past,†the owner said. He mentioned both starter Jake Odorizzi and outelder Kevin Kiermaier as prime examples: Both earned major league playing time last year because of injuries to Jeremy Hellickson and Wil Myers. Now they’re key cogs. The same may be said for offseason additions Asdrubal Cabrera, Rene Rivera and Steven Souza Jr.. “You never know how these things are going to turn out, and you can’t count on it, but we’re embracing it,†Sternberg said. “And we’d like to see the positives come out of it.†Sternberg bears no ill will toward Friedman or Maddon. Teams had been asking about Friedman for years, Sternberg said, and the Dodgers were “clearly the biggest enchilada out there.†As for Maddon, Sternberg said “no matter what he does going forward, he’s going to be linked to this organization and this franchise for the rest of his life.†There’s still plenty of uncertainty facing the Rays, most notably the stadium situation and what the future holds for baseball in the Tampa Bay area. Sternberg knows the Rays will play in a new ballpark one day; he just doesn’t know when. “I can’t imagine there’s somebody more committed to trying to have this happen here in the Tampa Bay region,†Sternberg said. “I per sonally believe there’s probably a location that works dramatically better than where we are, whether it’s 10 feet away or 12 miles away.†But when it comes to the product on the eld, Sternberg is far more certain about his team now than he was ve months ago. “Last year, things would have had to break pretty badly for us not to win 80. They broke badly, and we didn’t,†Sternberg said. “This year, things have to break pretty well for us to win 90. But I fully expect us to have that opportunity to be in the hunt at the end of the year.â€Contact Josh Vitale at 941-206-1122 or jvitale@sun-herald.comSTERNBERGFROM PAGE 1 TODAY’S GAMEWHO: Toronto (9-8) at Tampa Bay (8-6) WHEN: 1:05 p.m. WHERE: Charlotte Sports Park, Port Charlotte SCHEDULED STARTERS: RH Burch Smith vs. LH Daniel Norris PITCHING PROBABLES: RAYS: RH Burch Smith (start), RH Ernesto Frieri, RH Matt Andriese BLUE JAYS: LH Daniel Norris (start), RH Marco Estrada, RH Chad Jenkins, RH Liam Hendricks, RH Roberto Osuna TICKETS: Call 1-888-FAN-RAYS or go to the stadium box office.

MLB: Rays notebookKarns moving on upPORT CHARLOTTE — When spring training began last month, Nathan Karns was the No. 2 man in the battle for the No. 5 spot in the rotation. When he made his fourth spring appearance on Thursday, the righthander did so as the Tampa Bay Rays’ likely No. 3 starter. Karns pitched 413 innings in the Rays’ 4-2 win over the Minnesota Twins, giving up two runs on six hits and a walk. He hit one batter and struck out four. All of the damage against Karns came in the second inning, when Minnesota’s Jose Martinez and Chris Hermann hit back-toback two-out singles and Eric Fryer followed with a bases-clearing double. Karns also loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth inning, but Fryer to pop out and Doug Bernier to ground into a 6-4-3 double play to escape the inning unscathed. Prior to allowing four straight runners to reach base in the Twins’ tworun second inning, Karns had retired 22 straight batters dating back to the second inning of his March 9 start against the New York Yankees. “I denitely had to work in this one,†said Karns, who threw 65 pitches (39 strikes). “It was nice to see that I was able to make pitches when I needed to the most, and the defense came up again big time.†Karns appears to be the leader in a group of ve pitchers competing to ll the three vacancies in the Rays’ opening day rotation, which also includes Burch Smith, Matt Andriese, Mike Montgomery and Everett Teaford. “He’s done everything we’ve asked of him,†manager Kevin Cash said. “It was really benecial to see some trafc on the bases and him to get out. That was probably one of the more pumped times I’ve been this spring training, is seeing something like that. That’s a big deal; bases loaded, no outs and no runs score.†Welcome back: Righthander Alex Colome returned to Rays camp on Thursday after spending nearly a week in a Port Charlotte hospital with pneumonia. Colome, who lost 10 to 12 pounds while in the hospital, said he will spend the coming days doing light exercises before resuming throwing sometime next week. He expects he will only need one bullpen session and a live batting practice before he’s game-ready. “It was not frustrating, but I was, like, scared a little bit,†Colome said. “I lost a lot of time in the Dominican, then I get here and I get pneumonia. That takes a week. But we’re here.†Roster reduction: The Rays reassigned infielder Vince Belnome to minor league camp and optioned outfielder Mikie Mahtook and left-hander Enny Romero to the minors, bringing their spring roster to 51 players. Cash said he expects Romero to “impact us at some point this season,†but will not be a factor in the competition to fill the vacant opening-day rotation spots. Status update: Lefthander Drew Smyly (shoulder tendinitis) played catch from 100 feet on Thursday and is scheduled to throw off a mound on Saturday. Right-hander Ronald Belisario (fractured left shoulder) played catch for the first time since the injury on Thursday. Cash said he’s “improving fairly quickly, which is a good sign.†Right-hander Grant Balfour will pitch a live batting practice session today and could pitch in a game Monday after two days off. Extra bases: The Rays have now won three games out of five against the Twins this spring, which clinches their third straight win in the series dubbed the “Knutson Classic†in honor of Rays press box attendant and Minnesota native Dukes Knutson. Outfielder Kevin Kiermaier and infielder Nick Franklin both played in a minor league game on Thursday. Kiermaier went 1 for 5 with a walk and two runs scored, and Franklin went 2 for 6 with a run and two RBIs. Left-hander Everett Teaford will take Alex Cobb’s (right forearm tight ness) turn in the rotation on Sunday. Left-hander Mike Montgomery will pitch multiple innings in relief. Catcher Curt Casali was named the Rays’ Fan Fest MVP.Contact Josh Vitale at 941-206-1122 or jvitale@sun-herald.com.By JOSH VITALESPORTS WRITERRight-hander’s work with bases loaded interests Cash AP PHOTOTampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Nathan Karns (51) delivers against the Minnesota Twins during a spring training game Thursday in Port Charlotte. Karns pitched 4 1/3 innings in his bid to earn a spot in the Rays’ depleted rotation. Yelich, Marlins agree to dealBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESSMIAMI — A person familiar with the situation says Miami Marlins left elder Christian Yelich has agreed to a seven-year contract worth about $49.6 million. The person conrmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the agreement hasn’t been announced. Yelich is expected to sign the deal this weekend, and a news conference tentatively is planned for Sunday. Yelich, 23, won a Gold Glove and hit .284 with nine homers and 54 RBIs in his rst full major league season last year, when he made $505,000. His base salary this year will be $570,000 before the contract escalates. A left-handed hitter, Yelich is part of an outeld the Marlins consider the best in the majors, with $325 million slugger Giancarlo Stanton in right eld and Marcell Ozuna in center. Brewers exercise 2016 option on manager Roenicke: In Phoenix, the Milwaukee Brewers have exercised their 2016 option on manager Ron Roenicke. Roenicke replaced Ken Macha after the 2010 season and has led the Brewers to a 335-313 record. Milwaukee won the NL Central in his first season, then finished third and dropped to fourth in 2013. Yankees’ Ellsbury says he’ll be OK for opener: In Tampa, New York Yankees center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury says he’s fully confident that he will be ready for opening day. Ellsbury is out of action until the middle of next week because of a strained oblique. Ellsbury said before Thursday night’s game with Philadelphia that the injury “feels a lot better already.†The Yankees open at home against Toronto on April 6. Rockies 13, Royals 2: In Surprise, Ariz., Rockies reliever Rafael Betancourt was struck in the jaw by a line drive and walked off with a bruise. The 39-year-old Betancourt was hit in the sixth inning by Brett Eibner’s liner. He was checked by a trainer before leaving the mound. Tigers 0, Nationals 0: In Viera, the Detroit Tigers’ Anibal Sanchez and the Washington Nationals’ Gio Gonzalez and eached pitched two-hit ball in a 0-0, 10-inning tie. Sanchez, who gave up four runs in his previous outing against Philadelphia, struck out six and walked none in five innings. Gonzalez struck out five and walked one in four innings. Orioles 6, Pirates 4: In Sarasota, Chris Tillman allowed one run in four innings and Adam Jones hit his first home run of the spring in Baltimore’s win over Pittsburgh. Tillman, who was last season’s opening day starter and is likely to get the call to start at Tampa Bay on Apr. 6, struck out five and didn’t walk a batter in his second Grapefruit League start. Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 3: In Dunedin, Jose Bautista hit a long home run for Toronto in a win over Boston. Bautista’s first-inning drove off Henry Owens easily cleared the 333-foot mark in left field and landed in a patch of oak trees. T Toronto starter Aaron Sanchez allowed three runs on grounders by Brock Holt and Daniel Nava in the third and a sacrifice fly from Allen Craig in the sixth. The right-hander yielded four hits, walked one and struck out three in 5 innings. MLB: Thursday’s highlights \ l40,a*' , ' 1>i L;' , ' 'i ,r4e;..-eu'. Kam' ''i41')1` -

The day after clinching the downhill title, the 30-year-old American extended her record number of crystal globes in women’s Alpine skiing to 19, equaling Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark’s total. “I never imagined I’d have so many,†said Vonn, who battled back this season from two career-threatening knee injuries. “To tie with Stenmark is pretty incredible.†With 67 race wins, also a women’s record, Vonn trails Stenmark’s 86 wins in men’s skiing. Dustin Cook won his first super-G race, and Kjetil Jansrud gained some ground on Marcel Hirscher in the fight for the overall title by finishing second in Meribel. Cook, a 26-year-old Canadian, finished .05 seconds ahead of Olympic super-G champion Jansrud. Roger Brice of France was .08 behind in third.SOCCERFIFA sets December final for 2022 World Cup: The final match of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be played on Dec. 18, the country’s national holiday. FIFA spokesman Walter De Gregorio confirmed the date, but did not say when the tournament would start. He said the governing body’s executive committee prefers a 28-day tournament — starting Nov. 21. By rejecting UEFA’s preferred Dec. 23 final, the FIFA executive committee helped protect the English Premier League’s traditional Dec. 26 program. FIFA picked France to play host to the Women’s World Cup in 2019. The FIFA executive committee awarded France the hosting rights over South Korea. Germany served as host in 2011. This year’s tournament kicks off in Canada on June 6 with 24 teams for the first time. England was left without any teams in the European quarterfinals for the first time since 1993 when Dynamo Kiev scored three first-half goals against American Tim Howard and beat Everton 5-2 Thursday night for a 6-4 aggregate win. Roma, Inter Milan and Torino also were eliminated.TENNISDjokovic reaches Indian Wells semis: In Indian Wells, Calif., Novak Djokovic reached the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open when opponent Bernard Tomic withdrew because of a back injury. Djokovic, a three-time champion at Indian Wells, will play fourth-seeded Andy Murray, who defeated No. 12 seed Feliciano Lopez 6-3, 6-4, on Saturday. On the women’s side, Jelena Jankovic reached the semifinals when qualifier Lesia Tsurenko retired in the second set with a foot injury. Jankovic, the 2010 champion, was only on court for 46 minutes when Tsurenko called it quits trailing the Serb 6-1, 4-1. Jankovic will meet either defending champion Flavia Pennetta or Sabine Lisicki.OLYMPICSTibet groups urge IOC to reject Beijing bid: Tibetan activists have delivered a report to IOC leaders urging them to reject Beijing’s bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Bailey Owens scored all five of her goals in the first half and the offense never lost a beat after she was sent off for two yellow cards early in the second half. Kinsey Frey took up the scoring slack. She led the Vikings with six, including four in the second half. Brooke Palmer and Lauren Lockard added three apiece as the Vikings finished the game on an 8-1 run to force a running clock with less than five minutes left. “We do not have one star player, we had the starting 12 who got us the victory,†Engels said. “Kinsey and Lauren really stepped up when Owens got kicked out.†Port Charlotte (3-6) tried to stay close. Manalili scored five goals and Smich three, but Verot smothered them in the second half, forcing Smich to take long-range, low-percentage shots. The Pirates closed within four, 12-8, with 17 minutes left in the second half before Bishop Verot surged. Brittany King scored the other Pirates goal. “They were a better team today,†Port Charlotte coach Joanne Parker said. “We didn’t have anything.

Walton has signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins, who were eager to shore up their offensive line. Walton started all 16 games for the Giants last year and has 52 career starts since being drafted by the Broncos in 2010. He missed all of the 2013 season with an ankle injury. The deal announced Thursday means center Samson Satele, a free agent, will likely not be re-signed after starting all 16 games for Miami last year. The signing followed the announcement by Miami that it will not match the contract offer tight end Charles Clay received from Buffalo, meaning he’ll switch teams in the AFC East. Clay will join the Bills after signing their $38 million, ve-year offer. The Dolphins had the right to match after giving Clay a transition tag two weeks ago, but they decided the price was too high, and will go with newcomer Jordan Cameron and holdover Dion Sims at tight end. Jaguars claim Pierce off waivers: Jacksonville claimed Bernard Pierce off waivers, one day after the running back’s drunken driving charge led to his release by Baltimore. Jacksonville also announced team president Mark Lamping was given a five-year contract extension. Lamping oversees all of the team’s business operations. He joined the franchise in 2013 and has helped improve fans’ game-day experience at EverBank Field while increasing ticket sales and strengthening business relationships throughout the city. Player signings: Free agent defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin agreed to the terms of a deal with the Seattle, bolstering its defensive front. Rubin has been a full-time starter for most of his seven-year career, all of it with Cleveland. Rashean Mathis is returning to a Detroit defense after the 34-year-old signed a two-year contract. Dallas announced the signing of free-agent fullback Ray Agnew, six days after Agnew tweeted that he was joining the Cowboys. Tight end Daniel Fells, an eight-year veteran, re-signed with the New York Giants. Free agent wide receiver Dwayne Bowe agreed to contract terms with Cleveland. Bowe spent the past eight seasons with Kansas City. NFL NOTEBOOK fourth in the 3,200 and second, third and fourth in the 800.

We knocked 20 seconds off our best in the 4x800 relay.†Miles Rittenhouse was Lemon Bay’s only winner in the boys competition. He won the 3,200 in 10:23.87.

You have heard the old local saying: Put a stick in the ground around, and you have a tree in a few years. It’s not quite that easy. We may have a year-round growing season, but our growing spaces are small, the soil terrible, the sum mer sun too hot and the winter too dry. Planting your own elaborate garden can be a labor of love, with an emphasis on the “labor,†given our 12-month growing season. Fortunately, there are a variety of ways to enjoy beautiful plantings, or even get some dirt under your ngernails, without the time commitment of planting your own patch of plant heaven. Gardens are everywhere and can be enjoyed by one and all, and you can even end up a volunteer gardener at one of them if you aren’t careful.Nature ParkIf you frequently traverse the Aqui Esta Drive-Bal Harbor Boulevard intersection, your trip is a little more enjoyable now thanks to the efforts of a hardy and energetic band of volunteers called the PARKS & GARDENSPARKS & GARDENS | 8 adno=50481130 adno=50478772 Good Friends, Good Food, Good Times 1975 Tamiami Trail, Punta Gorda 941-575-7575 www.phils41.com Prime Rib on Fridays and Saturdays Reservations recommended.

The people I was spending time with jumped in with their ideas, explaining bucket-list items — elaborate travels to visit the natural wonders of the world, out-of-this-world explorations and death-defying feats of courage. When it was my turn to answer, I felt like the least creative person in the bunch. That’s because my ideal day would take place in the great outdoors alongside my two loves — my anc, Adam, and our Rhodesian ridgeback puppy, Ginger. Adam and I both work in pretty demanding careers, and quiet time is never a guarantee. Plus, I’m adventur ous by nature, and take just about every opportunity I have to do things my mother doesn’t want to know about — unless it’s already over and I survived. So if I had the option to create a perfect day, it would mimic the times I am the most relaxed, content and just loving the present. For me, that means our phones are turned off and left at home. It means the sun is shining bright, and we are racing paw to foot with Ginger — be it in the backyard, at a park or at our favorite beach. And it means we are active — running, riding bikes, taking a swim or doing some yoga. Punta Gorda is perfect for such an outing, especially with all the beautiful gardens and parks found in this little town. What makes this even better is the fact you can make the trek from one spot to the next fairly easily on foot or with a bike, making for a healthy adventure in nature’s beauty. Read about some of the gardens you can enjoy right here in Punta Gorda in Gordon Bower’s story. It starts on the cover and continues to pages 8 and 9 of this week’s Punta Gorda Herald. And while out and about enjoying the peaceful views in town, ask yourself how you would choose to spend your ideal day. Your answer might be a little closer to home than you think. Have a great week, Punta Gorda. See you around town.Parks make for an ideal outing Pamela Staik PGH EditorPamela Staik is the editor of the Punta Gorda Herald. Contact her at pgherald@sun-herald.com.

Herald Page 6 Friday, March 20, 2015 H H H SPORTS Charlotte High School’s Amber Klein was hooked up in an old-fashioned pitcher’s dual with Kammy Gelotte of Lemon Bay High School on Feb. 26. Gelotte had fanned seven of the first eight outs of the junior varsity game, and she appeared to have the game under control. But it was a stretch of just three hitters in the third that gave the Tarpons a wellplayed 4-3 win. The Manta Rays had tied the game with a run in the top of the inning when it looked like the girls in blue would be going back on the field. The first two hitters whiffed, and the Tarpons had nobody on base. Krystie Byrne hit a pop up that landed in between the pitcher and first base. Byrne was safe at first when Kristin Knowlton stepped up to bat. Knowlton had the only other hit off of Gelotte. She had singled in Sophia LeBlanc in the first inning, getting the Tarpons on the board first. She hit a shot into the gap for a double. Byrne motored around the bases to give the Tarpons a 2-1 lead. Klein followed with another blast that rolled all the way to the fence to plate Knowlton. Klein completed her trip around the bases as the relay throw to home was late, giving Klein an inside-the-park homer. It turned out to be the game-winning hit. After a walk, single and a trip to the mound by Lemon Bay coach Frank Mars, Gelotte got out of the inning with another strikeout. The Tarpons held a two-run lead going into the last inning when a twoout uprising put the go-ahead run on second base for Lemon Bay. A Lemon Bay single and walk put the tying runs on base with two outs and cleanup hitter Lauren LaMarr at the plate. Lamarr hit a screamer down the line in left to score a run, putting the tying run at third and LaMarr at second with the go-ahead run. Klein settled down and got the final out on a ground ball to preserve the Tarpons’ seventh win against two losses. “I got a little scared in the last inning with those runners on base,†Klein said. “My curve drop was working well for me tonight, but I was satisfied with the win.†Klein and Knowlton knocked in all four runs for the Tarpons and accounted for four of the seven Charlotte hits. Knowlton went 3-3 with two RBIs and a run scored. She also made a game-saving running catch in left center to prevent a run. “I didn’t think I could get it,†she said. “I got a good jump on it and caught it at the tip of my glove. There was a little funkiness going on there.†Tarpons hold on to edge Mantas Steve Knapp Sports WriterSteve Knapp is a sports writer and photographer. Contact him at SbigdaddyKnapp@aol.com. HERALD PHOTOS BY STEVE KNAPPCharlotte High School’s Amber Klein gave the Tarpons a 4-1 lead in the third inning of a recent softball game against Lemon Bay High School.

Herald Page 8 Friday, March 20, 2015 Green Thumbs. In a few short years, these hard-working gardeners, with some help from the city, have turned a desolate eld at one of the entrances to the Punta Gorda Nature Park into an oasis of beauty lled with mostly native plants, shade trees, palms, shrubs, topiaries, bromeliads and buttery herb and spice gardens, to name just a few of the improvements. It’s an award-winning garden the Green Thumbs have put together. In 2014, the Green Thumbs received an award from TEAM Punta Gorda, and the group recently won a prestigious award from the Florida Urban Forestry Council, a statewide nonprot whose mission is to promote forestry in urban areas. After you’re done admiring the more formal-looking garden, take a stroll through the park itself, a patch of the natural world smack in the middle of Punta Gorda where amenities are abundant. A well-marked, milelong trail with two loops has illustrated signs pointing out wildlife and plants you may see while there. The trail, some of it boardwalk, takes walkers to a Punta Gorda Isles saltwater canal with a shing pier, as well as tidal and freshwater views. Beware, the pretty new landscape is also a good recruiting tool, and Green Thumbs’ leader Richard Polk is looking for volunteers because he and his helpers are looking to expand the garden to the entrance on the east of the re station. Potential volunteers need only to stop at the park on any Friday morning to see how much fun the existing volunteers are having. Any visitors happening by on a Friday can also help by paying the gardeners a compliment. Polk said, “We always say we can work a whole month on a good compliment.†You also can call Polk at 941-833-4414 or visit www.pgigreenthumbs.org for more information.Downtown pocket gardensAt the opposite end of the size spectrum are two little gardens tucked away among the buildings and restaurants in busy downtown. Kudos go to TEAM Punta Gorda for the way Hector House Plaza and Herald Court Center Park look — beautiful landscaping and brick pavers paid for by TEAM, with labor provided by members of its Beautication Committee. Since everything is so packed together downtown, many people think Hector House Plaza, at the corner of Taylor Street and Olympia Avenue, belongs to the adjoining Wotitzky Law Firm. Not so; it’s on city property local history buffs consider hallowed ground — the site of the house owned by Tom Hector, where the city of Punta Gorda was named and incorporated in 1887. Take time to read the marker to nd out more interesting historical tidbits. The park has been recently refur bished and has plantings, a nice patch of grass in the middle, benches, two chess tables for those so inclined and a great view of the restored Charlotte County Historical Courthouse. No more than 50 yards away, the Herald Court garden is the most lushly landscaped piece of city property, thanks to TEAM, which has been adding more plants in this quiet little garden just across Herald Court from the parking garage. It may also be the most anonymous, largely because it abuts the Turtle Club outdoor area and looks as if it is on private property. This little plaza and garden is a great place to sit, drink coffee and chat with friends. The large fountain offers ambience and the mature trees shade. It’s edged with plantings and is an oasis of quiet. The TEAM Beautication Committee, led by Sue McCormick, always has a number of garden projects around town underway. It’s made up of mostly members of the committee, but she willingly accepts help on specic projects. She said, “TEAM Punta Gorda and Charlotte County Habit for Humanity have partnered for the second annual Paint Your Heart Out. On April 11, volunteers will paint houses to help elderly, disabled and needy residents who need a hand. Volunteers are needed for general landscape cleanup prior to painting and help with the landscaping of a selected property.†Contact her at scm619@embarqmail. com for details on how to help.Punta Gorda Garden Club’s gardensThe Punta Gorda Garden Club has several gardens it has planted and currently maintains around town, among them the Punta Gorda History Park Heritage Garden at the entrance to the park, Laishley Park’s Friendship PARKS & GARDENSFROM PAGE 1 HERALD FILE PHOTORIGHT: The recently refurbished Hector House Plaza garden oers plantings, chess tables and a superb view of the Charlotte County Historical Courthouse across Taylor Street.

H H H business news PUNTA GORDA Friday, March 20, 2015 Herald Page 9 Garden right next to the veterans area and the Punta Gorda Woman’s Club Quiet Garden. Bonnie Verminski, publicity chair, invites people to enjoy them and chip in with some labor if they are so inclined. Reach her at 941-637-1267 for more information. “We take volunteers,†she said. “Each garden has a chairperson, and we have a few people who are stalwarts, but a lot of people live in condos and we would welcome those who like to dig in the dirt.†The Friendship Garden, adjacent to Nesbit Street, is a quiet place to sit and contemplate the new veterans’ fountain. A reection of its name, an even quieter place is the garden at the Woman’s Club on Sullivan Street. A short paver walk leads past hundreds of plants to a quiet sitting area in the back. The Punta Gorda Historical Society, which owns the building, welcomes passersby to come and enjoy. The garden at the History Park is adjacent to the parking area and can be viewed from a car. With a small archway covered by a owering vine, it’s particularly fetching this time of year.History Park GardenIf you visit the Garden Club plot at the History Park, be sure to take time to enter the park itself, which has been transformed into one of the nest gardens in town. It’s full of historic buildings saved by the historical society and moved to the park. The best time to see them is during the 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. farmers market every Sunday when they are open, but you can visit the gardens at any time. Just head down the main path into the park, past the fountain from the old Hotel Charlotte Harbor and prepare to enjoy yourself. Each building has a garden, and more are located along the main walkway and under shady oak trees, where benches are available. Also take time to visit Starr Zachritz’s Art Gallery and Gift Shop, which is lled with work from local artists and offers a great view of the eagle nest out the window beside her desk. The society relies on volunteers to maintain the extensive landscaping, and there are few more beautiful places around to go dig in the dirt. Frances Rogers, who with Madie Kirkland, manages the Price House there, said, “Becky Copenhaver (a Master Gardener) is in charge of the volunteers, and we need them for sure. They can call (the society) at 941-639-1887.â€For your calendarEarth Day is April 22, and that’s a good day to visit a brand-new garden at the Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center. CHEC already has one buttery garden, and at 4 p.m. that day it will dedicate a new one aimed at attracting members of the nearly depleted monarch buttery population. It’s built in honor of longtime volunteer George Hindmarsh and is currently under construction. It won’t be a lush affair like most of the gardens listed above. The monarch depends almost entirely on the milkweed plant and blue mist ower for food and reproduction, and they are magnets for our national buttery. CHEC runs almost entirely on volunteers, and operations ofcer Doris Button welcomes help from those interested in the two buttery gardens. Visit www.checorida.org or call her at 941-505-9642 for more information.

Visit the club’s website at www.pggc. org for more information.Ask and ye shall receive; that’s the best way to track down a hardto-nd bit of local history. A few old timers will invariably have that info in hand or in the head and hit you with emails containing the missing historical detail. The story in the Feb. 20 Punta Gorda Herald about the old Kennedy Garage is a good example; under deadline pressure, the name of the owner before Welby Kennedy had to be left to readers, and they came through. There’s no doubting the authenticity of the information provided either. It comes from Donna McCullough Snyder, the daughter of previous owner James A. “Sam†McCullough and granddaughter of original gas station owner S.C. McCullough. She grew up in the place, and her memories and the photos and documents she saved shed much light on the garage/gas station/ gathering place called the Bright Spot. “Seeing those photos in the paper made me so sad,†she said. “When I was young, it was so alive and full of people. It started as a Texaco and around 1960 turned into a Shell. Nobody ever called it a Shell or Texaco station. It was always called the Bright Spot.†Her records show the structure was built sometime between 1926 and 1935, when the property was owned by Clarence and J.W. Coleman. Granddaddy S.C. McCullough bought into the property in 1935 and soon acquired sole possession. “The gas pumps were put in some time in the 1930s,†Snyder said. “My granddaddy very likely put them in. He remodeled the front of the building in 1935 and turned it into a one-pump Texaco station.†Snyder remembers her granddad as a real entrepreneur with all kinds of irons in the re. He held several jobs at once, including one as a bookkeeper at the Ice House. She said, “He was a good Scot. He liked to make money, and didn’t mind working for it.†Sam took over Bright Spot in 1948 after returning from ghting in World War II and attending business college. He was a widely known and respected resident, and the little station soon became more than just a place to buy gas. Snyder said, “He’s in the Charlotte High School Hall of Fame; he played ve sports — swimming, football, track, basketball and baseball. In track, he broke some state records, and in football everybody called him ‘Snake Hips.’ He was a real fast sprinter.†Among other memories Snyder holds dear: Her father went into Normandy on day two of D-Day and was wounded twice at St. Lo, France; he served on the School Board and was one of the volunteer reghters who tried in vain to save the Hotel Charlotte Harbor when it went up in ames. Even better, he had the kind of personality that attracted people to him. Snyder said, “Daddy was the best listener. He always said, ‘When you’re talking, you’re not listening.’ He was just a happy person and loved Punta Gorda more than any place in the world.†With a rsum like that, it’s no surprise Bright Spot was a popular hangout. One of the regular groups was made up of old high school buddies. Snyder said, “He went to high school with a lot of (soon-to-be) doctors and lawyers Some of them would stop by the station after work. He kept a bottle of whiskey in his desk, and they’d have a little snort. Then they’d go pitch nickels in the back.†Two of Sam’s employees over the years hold prominent spaces in Snyder’s memory bank — Welby Kennedy, of course, and William “Shorty†Puckett, an African-American who was the garage tire man. Welby was an outstanding mechanic, according to Snyder, and attracted customers as far away as Fort Lauderdale. Very shy, Welby soon came out of his shell while working for Sam and bought the business shortly after Sam retired in 1981. He’s alive and well and living in Cross City, Florida, where he spends time hunting and shing. Shorty did all the tire work as his main job, as well as a variety of other tasks around the station. His back story is unique. Snyder said, “Shorty lived in one of the last two cigar houses; I think over on DuPont Street. The History Park put two halves from the two houses together to make the cigar cottage. One of those, Shorty lived in; half of that cigar house in the History Park is Shorty’s.†Now, about that name, Bright Spot — it is rather unusual for a gas station/ garage. Sounds more like the name of a daycare center. The average reader probably assumes the name relates to Sam McCullough’s sunny personality, but not so. There’s a much more practical explanation that goes back decades. Snyder said, “It was called Bright Spot because there were no other places with ushing toilets in a 75-mile radius. It was the rst one; and they called it Bright Spot because it made you happy.â€A Bright Spot on Punta Gorda’s streetscape EDITOR’S NOTEThe Feb. 20 issue of the Punta Gorda Herald ran a story about the Hurricane Charley-destroyed Kennedy Garage at Herald Court and U.S. 41 North. At the time of writing, no information was available pre-dating Welby Kennedy’s purchase of it in 1982. Readers responded, and it turns out the Kennedy Garage’s predecessor was an important part of Punta Gorda history. Here’s a sequel to the original story. Gordon Bower Punta GordyGordon Bower is a freelance writer and photographer. Contact him at glbower@comcast.net. Sam McCullough, who operated the Bright Spot for 33 years, was a well-known and muchrespected businessman. Welby Kennedy, who purchased the place from Sam McCullough, is alive and well in Cross City, Florida. PHOTOS PROVIDED BY DONNA MCCULLOUGH SNYDERThe Bright Spot was a one-pump Texaco station in the mid-1930s. By 1990, the gas pumps were gone, and Welby Kennedy’s place only did automotive work.

The following excerpts are from the Daily Herald-News from March 15, 1975, through March 21, 1975:Nursing home needed in the countyThe Charlotte County Health Planning Council voted unanimously at its meeting last night to certify the need for an area nursing home to state ofcials. Dr. Maurice Bigelow, the chair of the health council, told members the need for an area nursing home could be met “within the next three or four weeks.†That is, if the state approved the certicate-of-need application of the Medical Center Hospital, Punta Gorda, to open the round building. This was formerly used for convalescent and extended-care patients on East Olympia Avenue. “There are 60 beds in that facility that could be put to immediate use. Plans for expanding the facility to 120 beds have been completed through the design stage,†Bigelow said.Building the bridgeConstruction of the northern half of the new Peace River Bridge began this week by the Ballanger Corporation. The much-needed but delayed bridge, costing $8 million, is progressing toward a completion date in November 1976.Lighthouse still standsOne of Boca Grande’s landmark lighthouses still stands guard near the public beach.

Watters said a brochure of all YMCA activities is available.Local artist paints china plate for first ladyAs a young child, Martha St. John, now of Punta Gorda, would stand in front of her grandmother’s china closet, fascinated. That fascination grew into a desire which took many years to achieve, but she succeeded. Her childhood dream was realized and culminated when she was commissioned in May 1968 by a family in Alabama, where St. John also lived, to paint a “birthday plate†for rst lady Lady Bird Johnson. St. John has one son, Robert, who is with the Punta Gorda Police Department, and one grandson.Sallie Jones’ teachers celebrate 20 yearsSallie Jones Elementary School, Punta Gorda, is celebrating.

Herald Page 14 Friday, March 20, 2015 Award-winning singer and actress Valerie Sneade moved to Southwest Florida 12 years ago with a concept she hoped would revolutionize the local entertainment community. She was at the top of her game, fresh from dazzling audiences in packed houses around the country, from the stage of the Grand Ole Opry to the night clubs of New York and Boston. She had done Equity Theater, performed with Broadway stars and nally cut her own album, “Let Me Be Strong.†She loved Charlotte County, but immediately recognized that entertain ment here was pretty much conned to local performers and community theater groups. “Charlotte County had no facility to compare with the Barbara B. Mann (Performing Arts Hall) or the Van Wezel (Performing Arts Hall),†she said. “We weren’t going to get Broadway national tours or big-name acts here because it wouldn’t be feasible or protable for them. But still I thought the people of this community deserved to at least have access to Broadway-caliber talent.†So Sneade founded Turning Leaf Production to offer a series of shows that would bring top-notch performers to the area. She poured her heart and soul into her new business — only to have her rst season sidelined by Hurricane Charley in 2004. Sneade used the Charley crisis as an opportunity. A performance to herald the debut of her CD had packed out Danny’s Skylight Room in New York, all due to the buzz Sneade was creating as an artist. But she decided to donate all the prots from sales of that CD — as well as the proceeds from a couple of benet per formances — to folks in the community who needed help recovering from the storm. Even with attendance at one of the shows being hampered by Hurricane Jeanne that year, Sneade still managed to raise nearly $10,000 in aid. She called on friends who ordinarily wouldn’t play smaller venues such as Charlotte County. Under the Turning Leaf banner, she joined forces with the likes of Mary Callanan, who starred in the Broadway revival of “Annie†and is currently in “Mamma Mia†on Broadway; Jennifer Rae-Beck, who appeared on Broadway in “Les Misrables†and in the television production of “Gypsy†starring Bette Midler; and Australian singer and trumpet player Greg Bonham, who is a top headliner in Las Vegas. Arguably her greatest coup was bringing down stage and screen star Franc D’Ambrosio, the longest-running Phantom in the history of Broadway’s “The Phantom of the Opera.†For seven years, whether the show featured Sneade’s solo act or offered a guest performer, Turning Leaf sold out virtually every show and garnered rave reviews from critics. In 2010, Sneade made the difcult decision to relocate to the Asheville, North Carolina area. Her mother had moved there and, shortly thereafter, was diagnosed with cancer. Sneade was still able to present shows in Charlotte County as late as 2011, but it became increasingly difcult. This past June, she moved back to Charlotte County. Before her departure, she had estab lished a mailing list of more than 1,500 fans. She not only reactivated those still on the list, she has also been adding a slew of new patrons who are hearing her for the rst time. And, once again, she’s on a mission to revitalize the local entertainment industry. With the re-launch of Turning Leaf, Sneade is focusing on philanthropy by drawing attention to a community need at each one of her shows. A portion of the ticket sales will be dedicated to the particular cause being highlighted. In the end, though, it’s all about the music. “I love to sing the music of my mother’s generation,†Sneade said. “I’m supposed to be too young to love this stuff, but it’s what I grew up with. My mom had this huge stereo that took up half the wall. I mean, you could have t the entire string section of the Boston Pops inside of it. And she had this stack of her favorite records that she left out because she listened to them so much, it didn’t make sense to put them away. Some of the best times of my life were just listening to that music. “And that’s the feeling I want to share with my audience. That’s what they deserve.â€Valerie Sneade returns to ‘keep the music alive’Provided by BOB MASSEYACTION WORDS ONLINE PHOTO PROVIDEDValerie Sneade is back in Charlotte County and ready to take on new challenges.

Friday, March 20, 2015 Herald Page 15 H H H TARPON PAGE PUNTA GORDA By NATALIE RESSELCHS SOPHOMOREHaving a good education should be important to everyone. Kaylee Brannon, a Charlotte High School sophomore, and Erin Roche, a junior, take their grades in school very seriously. Both believe it is important to get good grades in school. The girls also know that having good study habits and being organized must be a priority to nd success in the classroom. Brannon plays two sports for CHS and is part of two travel ball teams. Brannon stays up after games to study for the next day’s exams and to make sure she is comfortable with the material. Brannon also studies early in the morning and throughout the day to keep the material fresh in her mind. She also knows that she needs a calm and quiet environment to stay focused on her studies. “Usually, if I listen to music, I’ll get distracted and sing along, so I just stick to wearing soundproof headphones to block out any potential distractions,†she said. Roche also works hard and strives for good grades. She said staying focused is important, and she recommends using ashcards for memorizing things, such as vocabulary. “I usually study in my bed, but that tends to make me want to lay down and sleep, so I’ll switch it up and go to my dining room table to have a more focused study session,†she said. Roche’s hardest subject to study for is an honors anatomy and physiology course. “I usually study a few days in advance so I’m not stressed the night before, but, I have to be honest, that never works out. I admit to procrastinating and cramming the night before. Good thing I have a decent memory,†Roche said. Both students agree that staying focused, being organized and not procrastinating can go a long way in the classroom.Study tips from CHS studentsTarpons tell the news HERALD PHOTOS BY LAUREN SKEOCHCharlotte High School sophomore Dalton Mills rarely ghts with his brother. When they do ght, however, it’s about sports. By LAUREN SKEOCHCHS SENIORHaving siblings could be a blessing or a curse. Siblings, for example, can be considered a blessing because they are always there for you when you need them most. They could also be a curse, as they might take too long getting ready, commandeering bathroom time, or they might think they are better at sports or school, which leads to ghts and causes the development of sibling rivalry. Most students at Charlotte High School tend to think it’s a little bit of both. “My brother and I ght about who is better at sports,†explained Charlotte High School sophomore Dalton Mills. “But other than that, we are usually OK.†Other siblings ght about clothes, money or their parents’ love. “My sister and I mostly ght about her taking forever in the bathroom,†CHS freshman Samuel Asperilla said with a laugh. Although they can get on each other’s nerves, Asperilla said it’s important to befriend your brother or sister. “It’s important to get along with your siblings because you’ll always have them throughout your entire life,†Asperilla said.Siblings: A blessing or a curse? Samuel Asperilla is a freshman at Charlotte High School. His sister, Angelica, is a senior.
