** The News Herald | Monday, March 13, 2017 A3Hadders, who has pleaded not guilty to numerous charges of possessing and uttering counterfeit bills, allegedly spread hundreds of dollars of fake money in Bay County before his arrest. At the time he was caught, Hadders had $910 in fake money on him and the gun he bought with fake $50s, officials reported. The $50s were allegedly printed by Pittman, who was later arrested after officers raided the hotel room that housed the operation.Investigators are still coming across pieces of Hadders and PittmanÂs alleged handiwork as they continue to change hands across the Southeast in businesses or individual transactions.The cases are only a couple in the mounting stack of fraud and scam cases being handled by the Bay County SheriffÂs OfficeÂs recently formed Finan-cial Crimes Unit (FCU). The three-member team already has hundreds of cases on their desks since January when Sher-iff Tommy Ford formalized the group. Ford said Bay County was Âwithout a doubtÂŽ in need of a specialized group to investigate financial crimes.ÂItÂs hard to find investigators excited about that type of work,ÂŽ Ford said. ÂWhen you got a group like this with a passion for this work, we see that as an important service to the public. ItÂs important and exciting.ÂŽThe amount of cases had been consistent for months, Ford said.Before BCSO formed the FCU the majority of cases were being handled by one officer, investigator Craig Romans. He was working more than 600 cases per year, he said, noting even more cases were under investigation in other agencies throughout the county.ÂA portion of the cases we have gotten recently is because we put it out there that we would have a financial crimes division,ÂŽ Romans said. ÂThe other agencies are capable to work them. We just put a name to it.ÂŽRomans added the financial crimes are likely to only increase with the weighty risks of physi-cally robbing an individual or business being outweighed by the ease of using technology to scam and defraud.ÂMore money is lost on financial crime than burglaries and robberies combined now,ÂŽ said Investigator Paul Vecker, alsowith BCSOÂs FCU. ÂThere is so much white-collar crime, so much fraud. Millions upon millions of dollars are going overseas that we cannot recover.ÂŽThe cases by nature span jurisdictions of several law enforcement agencies and take a considerable amount of time to investigate. The third member of the FCU, investi-gator Dennis Rozier, had at one time in his career spent a year trailing a financial crime.ÂItÂs a lot more down in the books work to build these cases,ÂŽ Rozier said. ÂItÂs getting subpoenas to businesses and putting the dots together, possibly from incidents across the country.ÂŽWith the additional men, BCSO is aiming to coordinate more with federal authorities or other local law enforcement agencies to establish cases and make arrests. One example of the complexity inherent in financial crimes is a web that involved unwitting Âworkfrom-homeÂŽ employees supplying Russia with essen-tially stolen technology.BCSO reported in that case credit cards stolen throughout the U.S. were being used to buy electronics online and stockpiled at one location. The fraudsters then put out online postings for work-from-home-type jobsthat wouldinevitably be middle men in acriminal enterprise. Their jobs wereto remove the labels on mer-chandise purchased with stolen credit card information and repackage them for shipment to Russia. Companies like Amazon had banned the act, so the credit card thieves needed middle men to facilitate the transactions.However, the rub didnÂt end there. The scammers were col-lecting personal information of the unwitting middle men to buy more electronicsand fur-ther their scheme by selling that information online.ÂThe bad guys requested their personal information in order to get this job that was bogus to begin with,ÂŽ Vecker said. ÂThey never got paid for any of it. Now the bad guys have their information to get credit cards and victimize them twice.ÂŽThere are also opportunistic fraudsters in the county. BCSO circulated information about a scam recently involving an asphalt paving company. The scam is similar to some groups that come through after hurri-canes offering to cut limbs for an upfront payment. But when the person turns their back, they disappear.The paving company had been preying on people in rural areas to pave roads or driveways at cut rates years ago. They wouldrequest the money up front, thinly pave the area and then tell the victim to not use it for a day or so. When they finally drove or even walked on the asphalt, the thinlayer would crack and be useless, while the group would be long gone. BCSO received a tip weeks ago that the group was back in town and bought asphalt from a local asphalt business for $9,600. After getting word that BCSO was aware of them being in town, they cut their thousands in loss and disappeared once again.Most difficult to trace are online scams, such as the prev-alent IRS scam, government grant scam and tech support scam. Because most of the time there are fake phone numbers and emails used to muddy the trail. They are meant to prey on people vulnerable to their respective allures, butnone of themreally make sense when boiled down, officials said.ÂNo legitimate government agency or businessis going to ask you to get a gift card and give them the information on it over the phone,ÂŽ Rozier said. ÂThat is just not how things are done.ÂŽWhile technology has made those financial crimes easier to commit, it has also proved a valuable tool in tracing the crimes back to their source. The best practice, though, is to try and not become a victim of frauds and scams in the first place. One way to do that is through being informed about what to look for and know that if a dealseems too good to be true, itÂs likely just that.ÂDonÂt let your greed guide you,ÂŽ Rozier said. ÂAnd use your common sense.ÂŽAnyone who suspects they have been a victim of a finan-cial crime can contact BCSO at (850) 747-4700. If you have a tip about suspicious activity that could possibly be a scam or fraud can contact the financial crime unit at (850) 248-2328. CRIMESContinued from A1By the numbers1. The IRS Scam: Someone posing as an employee with IRS threatens a person with stiff punishment for delinquent tax payments unless they make a payment immediately. The person is made to buy a gift card for the owed amount and transmit that information over the phone. 2. The Âgovernment grantÂŽ scam: Someone posing as a government of“ cial claims that a person has won a grant worth thousands of dollars. The catch is the person has to send in a couple of hundred dollars for an application fee. After the payment is made, the fake of“ cial seems to “ nd yet another hidden fee for a couple hundred bucks. Again, the person is required to buy a gift card to make the application fee. 3. The Âtech supportÂŽ scam: This one targets the less computersavvy. It involves someone presenting themselves as an IT expert for a tech giant like Microsoft, claiming that a virus has infected their computer. For a small fee, they can remove it. The person is made to go to a speci“ c website, where the phony tech expert can resolve the issue. Once there, the scammer not only “ nds other Âhostage virusesÂŽ they can remove for an additional fee, they also access the victimÂs “ nancial and identi“ cation information from their computer to further defraud the person. A counterfeit 100 dollar bill is seen on March 9 at the Bay County SheriffÂs Of“ ce.

Police say the shooting appears to have been gang related with dozens of gang members attending the party. The shooting came a day after an unrelated shooting that left two brothers dead on the cityÂs north side. Police say the victims, 27-year-old JeÂVohn Hill and 26-year-old Jeronn Hill, were found inside a house and pronounced dead at the scene.THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS Dispute timing may bene“ t premierJust days away from an election in which he hopes to secure a third term, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte didnÂt want to be seen as backing down to Turkish threats. Rutte enraged Ankara by refusing to let TurkeyÂs foreign minister land in the Netherlands on Saturday and denying the countryÂs family and social policies minister access to the Turkish Consulate in downtown Rotterdam. However, the prime minister may have bolstered his image as a tough leader amid an electoral battle with far-right populist Geert Wilders.IBDIR, JORDANJordanian who killed 7 Israeli girls shows no remorseA Jordanian soldier who killed seven Israeli schoolgirls in a 1997 shooting rampage was unrepentant after his release from prison Sunday, lashing out at Israelis with harshly derogatory remarks.

He was greeted by chanting supporters who kissed him on the cheek and raised a photo of him with the caption, ÂWelcome to the hero Daqamseh.ÂŽ BUCHAREST, ROMANIA2,000 march in support of anti-corruption “ ghtAbout 2,000 people have gathered in the Romanian capital to offer support to the anti-corruption authority and protest a proposal to grant amnesty to prisoners convicted of graft. Protesters assembled outside government of“ ces Sunday evening and later marched through the capital, waving Romanian ” ags yelling ÂResignation!ÂŽ and ÂWe wonÂt give up!ÂŽ and ÂYou thieves!Ž„The Associated Press DATELINESBy Ricardo Alonso-ZaldivarThe Associated PressWASHINGTON „ President Donald Trump and Republican leaders say dras-tic action is needed because the Obama-era health care overhaul is a disaster, with soaring premiums and insur-ers bailing out.ItÂs true that major parts of the 2010 law are clearly trou-bled, but others are working fairly well.The risk is that the GOPÂs Ârescue missionÂŽ will inflict collateral damage on whatÂs working and cause new problems. Or that promised solutions might disappoint.The Affordable Care Act, or ACA, expanded coverage in two main ways. It offered subsidized private health insurance through online markets such as Health-Care.gov that cater to people without workplace coverage. It also allowed states to expand their Medicaid programs to cover more low-income adults.Together, those features have helped push the nationÂs uninsured rate below 9 per-cent, a historic low. A look at some of the lawÂs major elements, their current status, and how they might be affected by the repeal and replace legislation advancing in the House: MedicaidStatus: Thirty-one states have expanded Medicaid under the health law. The federalstate health care program for low-income people now covers about 1 in 5 people in the United States, from newborns to elderly nursing home residents. About half of the expansion states have Republican gover-nors. Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, says it has allowed his state to offer Âa stable source of careÂŽ for the working poor, the drug-addicted, and the mentally ill. Although Medicaid is a notoriously stingy payer, hospitals have strongly supported the expansion as preferable to treating uninsured patients.Impact: The House bill would repeal the Medicaid expansion, which now covers about 11 million people. Currently the federal government offers a generous matching payment to states that expand their pro-grams. Starting in 2020, that payment would only be available for beneficiaries already enrolled under the expansion, not for any new ones.In an even bigger change, the bill would end MedicaidÂs open-ended entitlement status, moving to a system of limited federal financing. Washington would pay the states a fixed amount per beneficiary, based on Medicaid spending in each state, adjusted annually for medical inflation. Supporters say the change would bring needed fiscal discipline and encourage states to innovate. Critics say it will ultimately harm the poor and goes far beyond addressing issues with the ACA.By Mike Corder, Cinar Kiper and Raf CasertThe Associated PressROTTERDAM, Netherlands „ Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan intensified his dispute with European nations Sunday, claiming that ÂNazism is alive in the WestÂŽ after two of his ministers were prevented from campaigning in the Netherlands and promising that the Dutch would Âpay the priceÂŽ for their unusual action.While Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte worked to contain the diplomatic damage, Erdo-gan made it clear that Turkey would not be easily appeased.He said Ankara would retal-iate for the treatment of the Turkish family affairs minister, who on Saturday was blocked by police in riot gear from entering her countryÂs consulate in Rotterdam.That came hours after Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was denied airport landing rights to address crowds at a Rot-terdam rally.Saying that he was wrong to think Nazism was over, Erdogan made the comment to an audience in Istanbul.

For half a century, the pageant has served to wake Bay County-ians up from their winter slumber and inspire them, introduc-ing them to spring with the beauty of the traditional Southern Belle and southern hospital-ity, he said.Though morning driz-zle had some pageant officials worried, the ladies elaborate dresses and hats thankfully remained untouched by rain, with some sunshine even peeking out for the crowning ceremony.After the crowning, the top 10 finalists and their escorts graced lawns throughout the Azalea Trail winding through Panama City to receive guests and take pictures.In addition to announcing the queen, pageant officials announced the runners up and Miss Congeniality, who is selected by the pageant participants. Isabella Pacer was named fourth runner-up; Kateland Hutt third runner-up; Angela Shank second runnerup; Keira Banton first runner up; and Sydney Adkins Miss Congeniality. Cornelius and the other finalists will split money generated by ticket sales, calendar sales and donations for scholarships.

[ERYN DION/THE NEWS HERALD] By Deb RiechmannThe Associated PressWASHINGTON „ ItÂs not just who did it, but why.WikiLeaks release of nearly 8,000 documents that purportedly reveal secrets about the CIAÂs tools for breaking into targeted computers, cellphones and even smart TVs has given rise to multiple theories about who stole the documents and for what reason.Perhaps it was a U.S. spy or contractor who felt jilted. Maybe the CIA was exposed by a foreign country that wanted to embarrass U.S. intelligence. Could it have been a CIA insider worried about Americans privacy rights?Some possible motives behind last weekÂs disclosure: From the sourceIn a statement released with the documents, the anti-secrecy group launched by Julian Assange in 2006 said the source told the orga-nization that there are policy questions in urgent need of public debate Among them were Âwhether the CIAÂs hacking capabilities exceed its mandated powersÂŽ and the Âproblem of public over-sight of the agency.ÂŽThe CIA, while not con-firming that the documents are authentic, isnÂt necessar-ily buying that explanation.ÂAs weÂve said previously, Julian Assange is not exactly a bastion of truth and integ-rity,ÂŽ CIA spokeswoman Heather Fritz Horniak said. She said the CIAÂs work would continue Âdespite the efforts of Assange and his ilk.ÂŽRobert Chesney, a national security law expert from the University of Texas School of Law, said WikiLeaks could have put the mate-rial online to damage the reputation of U.S. intel-ligence agencies.ÂJulian Assange is in the business of trying to reduce American power. ThatÂs just fact,ÂŽ he said.ÂItÂs about giving the CIAÂs reputation a black eye,ÂŽ he said. ÂI think they are trying to induce panic and make people even more skeptical of the intelligence agencies.ÂŽAssange said during an online news conference Thursday that it was Ânot trueÂŽ that WikiLeaks was focused on the United States. He cited recent publications dealing with Germany and Turkey and numerous ref-erences to Russia and China throughout WikiLeaks pre-vious releases. Who and why, twin mysteries behind leak of CIAÂs cybertoolsThe seal of the Central Intelligence Agency is shown April 13, 2016, at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va. [ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO] Republicans have groused about some of the preliminary plans, including elimination of the $3 billion community development block grant program thatÂs popular among local GOP officials, a 25 percent cut to the EPA and elimination of 3,000 jobs, and essentially scuttling a $300 million per-year program to clean up the Great Lakes.Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, is joining with Democrats to push back on that last proposed reduction. Cuts to the Coast Guard are meeting Republican resistance. TrumpÂs plan to eliminate community development block grants was dismissed on Capitol Hill by those who remember how a modest cut to the program sank a spending bill not long ago.ÂUnfortunately, we have no alternative but to reinvest in our military and make ourselves a mil-itary power once again,ÂŽ White House economic adviser Gary Cohn said on ÂFox News Sunday.ÂŽThe United States, however, already spends more than half trillion dollars on defense, more than the next seven coun-tries combined.Cohn defended the spending cuts elsewhere as necessary to balance the budget. ÂThese are tough decisions, but the president has shown he is ready, willing and able to make these tough deci-sions,ÂŽ he said Sunday. Democrats are unlikely to support the cuts, and Republican defections raise the possibility of a congressional train wreck and a potential govern-ment shutdown when the 2018 budget year begins Oct. 1.Preliminary reports on the budget show some domestic Cabinet agencies, such as the departments of Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs, would see increases, including $3 billion for TrumpÂs promised wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump said repeatedly during the campaign that Mexico would pay for that project, but Mexico has said no.Those intended spending increases, however, would mean deeper cuts elsewhere.People familiar with the budget who spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the public release say the White House is seeking a 30 per-cent cut from an Energy Department office that promotes energy efficiency and renewable energy. The office has funded research on projects such as LED light bulbs, electric trucks, advanced batteries and biofuels.The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is targeted for at least $700 million in cuts from its current $2.1 billion budget, said Scott Sklar, chairman of the steering committee of the Sustain-able Energy Coalition.The Energy Department could see steep cuts for its 17 national laboratories, which conduct cuttingedge research on topics from nuclear power to advanced materials for energy generation, stor-age and use.TrumpÂs preliminary budget, delivered in secret to agencies last month, proposes a 37 percent cut to the State Department and foreign aid budgets. Those cuts and others were subject to revision in the back and forth that the White House had with agencies leading up to the coming release this week.TrumpÂs submission wonÂt tell the complete story. It will be limited to the discretionary, $1 trillion-plus portion of the $4 trillion annual federal budget that pays for Cabinet agencies and departments.These annually appropriated programs have been squeezed in recent years while the costs of mandatory programs such as Medicare and Social Security have risen each year, mostly unchecked.

Letters may be edited for clarity and brevity. Guest columns of up to 600 words may be submitted as well. Write: Letters to the editor, The News Herald, 501 W. 11th St., Panama City, FL 32401 Email: pcnhletters@pcnh.com A nation divided cannot succeed The disdainful reaction by Democratic leaders at Donald TrumpÂs address to Congress on February 29 was appalling especially he treatment of Navy Seal Ryan Owens widow Carryn Owens. Their conduct was disgraceful as evidenced by their refusal to show respect for her grief over RyanÂs death in Yemen on behalf of our country. The standing ovation for Carryn was the most emotional and patriotic tribute IÂve ever seen in a presidential address. TrumpÂs speech was one of the most impressive and substantive appeals for unity since his entry into the presidential race. It was considerably toned down from the fiery rhetoric he exhibited during his campaign last year. His plea for unity apparently fell on deaf ears among the Democrats in the audience most of whom appeared to be superglued to their seats even when he supported issues they agreed with. According to polls conducted shortly after the speech, the American public had a far different reaction to the speech than than the Democrats. Trump has an ability to communicate directly to the people and his speech received overwhelming approval in several polls shocking even the talking heads at CNN. Scrambling to come up with an effective response, Democratic leaders had little option but to resurrect their tireless attempt to link Trump with the Russians. Most conservatives are tired of hearing the hype about alleged Russian interference with the election when no one has ever explained exactly how they affected the results. Obama openly denied there was any evidence that voting machines had been compromised so what did the Russians actually do? Did they hack PodestaÂs and the DNC e-mails and turn them over to WikiLeaks? Are the Democrats embarrassed that the e-mails revealed all the dirty tricks they used to disrupt TrumpÂs and Bernie Sanders campaigns? Were they upset that we learned Hillary received the questions in advance of the debates? If so, maybe we need to thank the Russians for telling us the truth about the Democratic partyÂs chicanery. Oblivious to the truth about the duplicity in their own ranks, the Democrats shifted their attack to AG Jeff Sessions. Schumer and Pelosi demanded he resign simply for greeting a Russian ambassador at an official Senate function when actually arranged by Obama. What hypocrisy! Where was their outrage when Bill Clinton met privately with AG Loretta Lynch when Hillary was under investigation for her e-mails? Where was their outrage when Eric Holder lied under oath to Congress about Fast & Furious and wiretapping Fox News reporter James Rosen? Or in 2012 when Obama indicated he could be Âmore flexibleÂŽ with Putin after he won reelection? Now we learn that the Obama administration allegedly received information from wiretaps authorized on the Trump Tower. If thereÂs any truth to this bizarre story maybe we have more to fear from ObamaÂs abuse of power interfering with the election than Putin or Russia. Regardless how anyone feels about Trump, he is our president and if nothing else heÂs demonstrated he sincerely cares about our country. ItÂs time the Democrats and the media quit complaining and work with him to deal with our nationÂs problems. Unlike most politicians, heÂs a man of action committed to keeping the promises that got him elected.Ron Wolff Panama City BeachLETTERS TO THE EDITOR ANOTHER VIEWConsider the following: Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran sues the stateÂs tourism-promotion agency to obtain a copy of a contract, later revealed to be worth $1 million, involving the hiring of a Miami rap star; a judge orders taxpayers in Tacoma, Washington, to pay an advocacy group $50,000 to settle a lawsuit filed after the city wrongfully redacted records pertaining to a controversial deal allowing city police to use federal cellphone-tracking equipment. You get the drift. Almost every day in almost every corner of America, citizens, activists and even government officials are forced into court to obtain public records. It all begs questions: What are these officials trying to hide? Why must the public fight so hard to learn what its government is up to? We may never know the full answers. Nonetheless, this time of year we reflect on such matters as well as to advocate for more transparency by lawmakers, policy-makers and staffers. Today is the beginning of Sunshine Week, the annual occasion when activists and advocates celebrate open government „ from City Hall, to the Statehouse to the White House. The tendency during this week is to dwell on the instances when the government strews obstacles in our path to knowledge. But we first should be mindful that countless government agencies and officials are themselves proponents of open government and readily comply with requests for public documents. We express our gratitude to them and encourage them to persevere in serving the publicÂs needs on this crucial issue. Yet even when officials adhere to such policies, we also must be mindful that others perpetually work to keep a lid on what government knows and shares. For example, the First Amendment Foundation in Tallahassee, the stateÂs leading open-government advocacy group, has pointed out that lawmakers in Florida „ whose Sunshine Laws are the envy of the rest of America „ have adopted 1,119 exemptions to our public records laws. Meanwhile, lawmakers have already filed bills containing 59 additional exemptions to consider in 2017. This year, the FAF and the Florida Society of News Editors intend to mark Sunshine Week with a new grading system for lawmakers. The FSNE has developed a scorecard that will identify how lawmakers voted on a list of proposed opengovernment exemptions as prioritized by the foundation. We cannot wait to see how Bay County lawmakers fare. In recent interviews with the Associated Press, Barbara Petersen, the foundationÂs president, has pointed out how fickle lawmakers can be on this subject. We think the scorecard, a tool used by other advocacy groups, will be a useful device to illustrate our lawmakers commitment to transparent government. As Petersen once wrote to a lawmaker: ÂWe agree that the requirements of our famed Sunshine Law can be an inconvenience for government officials at times. But the right of Floridians to oversee their government and hold it accountable for its actions „ a right imbedded in our Constitution„ far outweighs such minor annoyances.ÂŽ Happy Sunshine Week.Let the sunshine inWhat is up with the Democrats obsession with Russia? With each new day, a new Russian conspiracy theory surfaces. The Democrats latest Russian conspiracy is so terrifying, Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says itÂs giving him a ÂknotÂŽ in the pit of his stomach. A knot, because Attorney General Jeff Sessions didnÂt live in a bubble as a senator. Rather, the former Alabama senator did what senators sometimes do and met with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Given Democrats logic, Schumer should resign for meeting with Vladimir Putin in 2003 and Nancy Pelosi should resign for meeting with former Russian President Medvedev and Kislyak in 2010. In fact, Fox News reports seven Democrats met with Kislyak in 2013 and the Daily Caller reports Kislyak visited the Obama White House 22 times between 2009 and 2016. Sessions says his ÂmeetingsÂŽ had nothing to do with the Trump campaign and claims his answer during his confirmation hearing Âwas honest and correct as I understood it.ÂŽ Remarkably, Democrats believe that explanation is not okay for Sessions, but was perfectly acceptable for former Obama attorneys general. If it was moral outrage, they wouldnÂt be able to switch it on and off at will. Democrats are deliberately causing this chaos to make Trump resign, but it wonÂt happen. Trump should have his DOJ investigate the Democrat-Russian connections along with the Obama administration scandals Democrats ignored. Democrats looked the other way when Eric Holder was accused of and later admitted to lying about the Obama administrationÂs Soviet Union-style surveillance of journalists critical of the administration. Perhaps this is where their obsession with Russia began. Apparently, liberals Âmoral convictionsÂŽ shortcircuited the day Bill Clinton had a secret rendezvous at a Phoenix tarmac with thenAttorney General Loretta Lynch when Hillary was under FBI investigation. Their Âmoral convictionsÂŽ were also switched off the day ObamaÂs DOJ let former IRS official Lois Lerner off the hook for alleged criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to testify about the politicallymotivated targeting of taxpayers. We didnÂt hear Democrats demanding resignations or impeachment proceedings over the Benghazi coverup when former National Security Advisor Susan Rice spread misleading information regarding the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack. The double standard on display every day is ridiculous, and the red tide that washed over the 2016 electoral college map proves Americans took notice. In November, Americans turned from squeamish Republicans who refused to fight the bullies with a Russian fetish and voted for a street-fighter named Donald J. Trump. ThatÂs why TrumpÂs supporters like it when Trump attacks the press because they watched former president Obama repeatedly attack Fox News and rightwing radio for eight years. Likewise, they care less if he appears Âun-presidential.ÂŽ Presently, they donÂt give one iota what Trump or his administration does or doesnÂt do because all they want is someone to punch back. Therefore, there isnÂt a riot violent enough or a womenÂs march ridiculous enough or a Hollywood smear outlandish enough or a fake news headline outrageous enough, or, in this case, a Russian conspiracy theory believable enough to sway them to side with the bullies with a Russian fetish.

The plaintive cry of sea gulls and the noisy splash of pelicans break the stillness along the jagged shoreline of the bay at the southeastern perimeter of the Navy base. Farther up the embankment, near a tiny bayou, sun filters down through the moss-shrouded oak hammock on the lonely grave just a stoneÂs throw from the waterÂs edge. The Sowell family migrated to the West Peninsula from West Bay in the late 1800s and joined several other families living in this location „ the Holleys, Knowles, Lipes and others. Christine (some say her name was Christian) Sowell, who was born in 1877, moved here to live with her brother and his family. She died from diphtheria about 1895 and was buried close to the Sowell house. Her grave is the only one marked in this small burial ground. The area abounded with fox, deer, Âcoon, Âpossum and bigger animals. Many settlers had a frightening experience with black bears. In fact, the Sowell and Holley families killed 14 bears in one year. Hundreds of alligators inhabited the swamp marshes, and settlers were cautious when they went out into these areas. The rich hammock land produced excellent crops. Farmers marveled at their 15-foot cornstalks and 6-inch rice plants, then brought them across the bay so others could see their bounteous yields. Homesteaders either sailed or ÂpulledÂŽ their boats across the bay for mail and supplies. The Bryant grave In the center of a huge field not far from Moccasin Creek, a tributary of Econfina, is a grove of ancient magnolia and live oak trees. White egrets, or cowbirds as they are often called, tromp the field in search of food and lend a pretty setting against the rich green grass. It is in this location along Blue Springs Road that one of Bay CountyÂs most obscure cemeteries exists „ one about which little is known. Travelers on the road are unaware that a grave even exists here because there are no markings, just a cluster of moss-draped trees in the distance. Early residents of the area recalled that a preacher by the name of Bryant, an old man with a long white beard, buried his mother and father at this site. In the early 1900s, ÂPreacher BryantÂŽ came from Youngstown for several years to hold services at the Econfina Church farther north down Blue Springs Road. Why he chose the site for a burial place is unknown. His family may have lived in Econfina at the time, or he may have liked the setting. The burial place may also contain other graves, but those who knew the answers died long ago. Bryant also preached for a time at Sandy Mount Church. He lived on Linger Longer Road in Youngstown and was related to the Nixon family, who homesteaded on Bear Creek. The Sharit grave In the 1800s, George Sharit, a sailor from New York, lived on the branch called for him near the mouth of Cedar Creek with his wife, Nancy, and their children. He was killed when the winds blew a tree on their house. He was probably the first and lone burial at Cedar Creek Cemetery until the community developed around the area and the cemetery was used for more burials. The Boggs grave In the 1880s when many new families were moving to this area, the area around what is now Allanton attracted several families. Those passing by on the old wagon road between Cook and Allanton noticed buzzards circling a place in the woods one day. Thinking it was someoneÂs cow, Charles Ellison, a settler, went to check but found instead Âwhat was left of the body of a man.ÂŽ An examination of land nearby proved that hogs, buzzards and wild cats had been at work on the remains. Ellison notified others in area. That evening W.F. Woodford, another early settler from Farmdale across the bay, built a pen around the remains to keep away the wild animals. The next day, officials in St. Andrews empaneled a coronerÂs jury which proceeded to the location to hold an inquest. But because of the mutilated condition of the body the cause of death could not be determined. The jury returned the verdict: ÂDeceased, supposed to be Boggs found, cause unknownÂŽ and interred the body on site. From all accounts, Boggs hailed from Oil City, Pa., where it was claimed he lost a fortune in oil. Marlene Womack People walk along a foggy beach in this undated News Herald “ le photo.

[ANDREW WARDLOW/THE NEWS HERALD] By Deborah Wheeler315-4432 | @WaltonSunDeb | dwheeler@waltonsun.comAfter announcing they are taking another year in their quest to become a municipality, members of the group A Better South Walton are using the time to take a good look at what they need to do to get more support for their movement.ÂThis is such a significant issue for the community that we felt it was better to take another year to make sure we were doing all our homework and answering all the communityÂs questions, which is important,ÂŽ said ABSW Vice President David Bailey. ÂTrying to rush through it was not the way to do it.ÂŽBailey said the second major reason for the delay is that a request for incorporation from a community funnels through one person „and that happens to be Florida House District 5 Rep. Brad Drake.ÂWe felt his support was not fully in place,ÂŽ said Bailey. ÂThe indication was that he does not support us having the right to vote. We thought that giving a community the right to vote on something was a no brainer. I am disappointed that our representative did not sup-port our right to vote.ÂŽHowever, Bailey has not spoken to Drake personally about the subject.During this next year, Bailey said the group will look at whether it is possible to proceed without DrakeÂs support.ÂWhen local delegates donÂt show support for a bill in their district, though, it is unlikely to go through,ÂŽ he said. ÂWe will spend the next year trying to convince him that we want the right to vote on this.ÂŽCalls to Rep. Drake were not returned as of press time as to whether he would support incorporation for South Walton. He did email a statement.A Better South Walton regroups See MARKET, B2 See REGROUPS, B2 See LAWYER, B2 See TOWER, B2

We, as elected officials, must be receptive to that and to the process. A Better South Walton chose to forego any further consideration for now.

The site contains an online petition to bring the issue to a vote and a link to write to Rep. Drake. REGROUPSContinued from B1ÂI am expecting a good year,ÂŽ said Kevin Wattenbarger, a local commercial real estate agent with Sperry Van Ness. ÂI think itÂs improving.ÂŽA variety of factors are likely causing the upswing. ThereÂs an upswing in business and professional employment creating a demand for retail and office space the NAR believes is a factor. Watten-barger said the right amount of space is available right now to encourage sales cre-ating a line of businesses who want to come into the city. And then, like Lane said, the groundwork has already been laid in many cases.Wattenbarger said many of the deals that started six months ago or even two years ago are coming together now.ÂWeÂre coming through the deal cycle,ÂŽ he said.Jim Everitt, a real estate agent with Counts Real Estate Group, agreed saying he is also seeing more move through the due diligence phase and making offers to purchase. He believe the election of President Trump is helping to drive the market.ÂIt has seemed many or most commercial real estate users, individuals and businesses, were somewhat sitting on the sidelines wait-ing on the election, Everitt said. ÂAfter the election, everyone is more optimistic.ÂŽLane said more deals are in the works he hopes to see become public soon. MARKETContinued from B1The towers are essential for communicating with and controlling unmanned drones over the Gulf of Mexico, said 325th Fighter Wing spokesman Dustin Mullen.ÂOur tower is over 50 years old,ÂŽ said 53rd Test Support Squadron (TSS) Director of Engineering Capt. Katie Johnson in a press release. ÂIf anything were to happen to that tower or our antennas on it, we wouldnÂt be able to conduct our critical Weapon System Evaluation Programs, an Air Combat Commanddirected mission. Also, due to changes in an envi-ronmental impact study, we were not able to build a replacement tower in that same area.ÂŽThe collaboration among the 53rd TSS, 53rd WEG and Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) started in April 2016, when a 53rd TSS engineer scout-ing for an existing tower spotted the NavyÂs tower during a morale picnic. The agencies soon began feasibility and compatibility tests and now plan to put up a permanent installa-tion later this month.ÂThe 53rd WEG is also providing the new tower with upgraded enhanced lightning protection, protecting not only their equipment, but all of the current naval equipment on the tower,ÂŽ said53rd WEG spokeswoman Amanda Farr.ÂThe tower has been struck by lightning in the past, and this added light-ning protection will help protect all (Department of Defense) equipment on the tower. This is being done at no cost to the Navy and will have a more robust lightning protection system in place.ÂŽIn a news release, Tyndall estimated constructing a new tower would have cost an estimated $700,000, and leasing a commercial tower would cost approxi-mately $9,000 annually.ÂThis is a continuation of the working relationship between NSWC PCD and (the Air Force),ÂŽ said NSWC PCD littoral warfare system manager Michael Grunden. ÂOur base has used Tyndall assets to do work. ... ItÂs going to save them a large amount of dollars to not go through the process of finding a tower and building it.ÂŽFifty-third WEG commander Lance Wilkins said the partnership is representative of strong relationships across the military.ÂWe have worked with the Navy on other projects in the past,ÂŽ he said. ÂThis is just one of the many examples of a work-ing partnership based on proximity that helps both the Navy and the Air Force and further develops a joint environment for all involved.ÂŽ TOWERContinued from B1A compromise solution that would add to the areas within Sandestin considered open space was offered by the Plan-ning DepartmentÂs staff, but rejected by the County Com-mission in a 3-2 vote in January. The Sandestin Owners Asso-ciation had raised an issue that to agree to the compromise would be inconsistent with the countyÂs Comprehensive Plan, Stewart said.Should the county vote Monday to allow Sandestin to return to compliance, it could then conceivably consider the several development requests Sandestin Investments has made, which include adding more than 1,300 residential units and erecting 18-floor and 24-floor buildings. It is StewartÂs opinion that even if Sandestin is declared compliant, any development must be permitted under provisions of the existing Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with existing state law. LAWYERContinued from B1 The 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group, an Air Combat Command tenant organization at Tyndall Air Force Base, now will be using a 150-foot Navy communications tower near St. Andrews State Park in place of its obsolete Gulf Range Drone Control System tower.

The tables can be removed to accommodate a dance floor or for musicians. Parking is available on the property.When the wedding is over and your guests go home, a two-bedroom two-bath cottage in the quiet forest awaits.ÂItÂs not only beauti-ful, but there is no need to worry about noise, which offers a quiet and peace-ful sleep afterwards,ÂŽ said Doshia Centeno, a representative for Liles Properties. ÂAwake to birds chirping and walk to the lake in the morning with coffee in hand while admiring the wildlife.ÂŽThe lake is man-made and stocked with fish.The cottage has an efficiency kitchen with a small refrigerator, but no oven or stovetop.Renters are responsible for cleanup and providing security if serving alcohol at an event.Plans are to add more cottages and bathrooms, and possibly a commer-cial kitchen.The venue is unusual in that it is totally off grid.ÂWe generate own power through solar panels in a first installation of Tesla Power Wall,ÂŽ Liles said.The Power Wall II, released in April, takes energy from the sun and stores it in giant batteries. The Preserve also uses natural gas for a generator as a fall-back plan.The property is also zoned for 100 condo-miniums planned for the future.For more informa-tion, visit https://www.pointwashingtonpreserve.com.Point Washington Preserve By Tim CroftThe Port St. Joe Star | 850227-7827 @PSJ_Star | tcroft@starfl.comA jury in a federal courtroom needed just over an hour last week to find in favor of Gulf Dis-trict Schools in a lawsuit brought by a former principal at Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School.Following a threeday trial the jury denied all claims from Jeremy Knapp that the district violated anti-discrimination and anti-retaliation laws leading up to and after his termination as principal at Port St. Joe High.Knapp claimed his contract was not renewed due to his need to undergo multiple back surgeries and the district spread negative reviews of his performance to poten-tial employers.Knapp was hired by former Superintendent of Schools Tim Wilder to the position in Port St. Joe in July 2011.In October of that year, Knapp had surgery for a herniated disc in his back, returning to work a week later, according to the lawsuit.Knapp had additional surgeries between November 2013 and April 2014 and, accord-ing to district officials, took a leave of absence in April 2014. According to KnappÂs lawsuit, he met with current Superintendent of Schools Jim Norton in April 2014 to discuss a timeline for his medi-cal leave when Norton informed Knapp his contract would not be renewed.All district administrators are hired on a year-to-year contracts.According to KnappÂs lawsuit, Norton said the non-renewal was based on KnappÂs med-ical history, not job performance.Knapp alleged in his lawsuit that despite accolades while working at Port St. Joe High, the district was also provid-ing negative references by telling possible employers Âthey would not discuss Knapp due to pending litigation.ÂŽThe districtÂs actions, Knapp argued in his law-suit, violated disability discrimination and dis-ability retaliation laws.Knapp filed the lawsuit in federal court in January 2016.District prevails in former principalÂs suit Point Washington Preserve is a new event venue located on J.D.

** B4 Monday, March 13, 2017 | The News Herald By Darryl FearsThe Washington PostThe federal Endangered Species Act has been called the worldÂs gold standard for environmental protection. Passed in 1973, it strengthened earlier federal protections for animals that had been nearly wiped out by humans, including bald eagles, humpback whales and California condors.But the act has faced opposition from those who believe it unfairly protects animals that sometimes poach livestock and that it unfairly restricts land use.At a recent hearing to discuss Âmodernizing the Endangered Species Act,ÂŽ Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., head of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said the ESA Âis not working today.ÂŽOn the House side, Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rob Bishop, R-Utah, said the act Âhas never been used for the rehabilitation of species. ... ItÂs been used to control the land. WeÂve missed the entire purpose of the Endangered Species Act. It has been hijacked.ÂŽA former U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service director at the Senate hearing responded to calls that the law needed a dramatic change by reminding committee members of how the law is viewed in other parts of the world. ÂThe Endangered Species Act is the worldÂs gold standardÂŽ for conservation and protection of animals, said Daniel Ashe, now president and chief executive of the Associa-tion of Zoos and Aquariums.ÂItÂs not perfect. It can be better,ÂŽ Ashe, ÂYour goal is to make it . stronger and better,ÂŽ Ashe said.The worldÂs flora and fauna are experiencing a global extinction crisis caused by human activity, according to many experts. But humans have also learned how to protect spe-cies and help them make a recovery. Here are eight species that would probably have disappeared already were it not for the Endangered Species Act. Humpback whaleThis is the famous sing-ing whale. No one really knows why, but males, who do all the crooning, sing for up to 20 minutes at a time, sometimes all day, pausing only for a breath „ an underwater opera. The singing nearly stopped in the 1960s, when more than a century of commer-cial hunting took its toll. Humpback whales were listed as endangered in 15 habitats worldwide, and their numbers fell to 1,600.They were listed as endangered in 1967 under the Endangered Species Conservation Act that preceded the current act. Nearly five decades later, theyÂve rebounded to about 20,000 individuals across the world, enough to be de-listed in all but a few of their habitats.Florida manateeManatees have lived in Florida for about 45 million years, according to fossil records. They are big, gray, lumbering and docile marine mammals, plus they eat sea grasses, so people call them sea cows.As Florida developed into a vacation and retire-ment paradise that swelled its population to 20 million, making it the fourth-most-populous state, sea cows found themselves in the path of boats. Sharp pro-pellers butcher the animals, and they are harassed by snorkelers and tubers long-ing to touch them. Florida first acted to protect man-atees as far back as 1893, and the federal government first protected them as an endangered species in 1967.Aerial surveys in 1991 proved that their numbers had dropped from the tens of thousands to fewer than 1,300. In 2013, there were a record 800 manatee deaths caused mostly by humans. Faced with the extinction of the Florida manatee, an offshoot of the West Indian manatee that roams the Caribbean and South America, the state and federal government stepped up protections. They created manatee protection zones marked clearly for boaters, worked to minimize harassment, disturbance injury and mortality, and closely monitor the animalÂs habi-tat and population.Manatee numbers are rebounding, with about 6,200 in the most recent annual count. Last year in January, Fish and Wildlife proposed to downgrade their status on the endan-gered list.Bald eagleThe bald eagle was designated as the national bird in 1782, just before the end of the Revolutionary War. Although the Ameri-cans and British stopped fighting, hostilities didnÂt end for eagles.Name a threat, and bald eagles have faced it: illegal shooting, poisoning, habitat destruction and contamination of its food with the deadly chemical DDT. By the 1970s, when they were listed as endan-gered, bald eagles were on the verge of extinction. Wildlife officials teamed up with state and federal lawmakers to save them.The first step was to ban DDT, ushering in a bald eagle recovery through conservation, including the protection of nesting areas. Bald eagle populations recently climbed to an esti-mated 70,000 birds from a low of about 400 breeding pairs in 1963, a recovery that the Fish and Wildlife Service called remarkable. They were removed from the endangered list in 2007.American alligatorWhy does this member of the crocodile family look so scary? ItÂs basically a dino-saur. Alligators have been on Earth for 200 million years, hunting other ani-mals and devouring them.Gators arenÂt the only merciless animal. Humans nearly put an end to their existence through hunts and habitat destruction. Like the black-footed ferret, alligators were listed as endangered in 1967. Authorities banned hunting to protect it, the American alligator quickly rebounded, and in 1987 the service declared that the animal had fully recovered. American alligators exist from North Carolina to Florida on the Atlantic coast and from Florida to Texas on the Gulf coast. They abound in the Florida Everglades, where invasive Burmese pythons have begun to challenge them for the top spot on the food chain. Grizzly bearThereÂs no mistaking a grizzly bear. Its powerful build, its walk and claws are iconic.Those features are part of the reason scientists named grizzlies Ursus horribilis, Âterrifying bear.ÂŽ Biologists donÂt like the term grizzly. TheyÂre a subspecies of the Kodiak bear and are officially the North American brown bear.Other North American bears such as the polar bear are bigger. But griz-zlies have a fearsome reputation. Some wonder why, considering that they are largely solitary, play-ful and can be communal eaters in areas where food is plentiful. Humans fear them, but grizzlies have proven no match for humans. Half a million grizzlies once roamed the Lower 48 states, from the northwestern corner of Washington to southern Wyoming. Now only about 1,800 remain.Grizzlies were listed as threatened in the lower 48 states in 1975 after being reduced to 2 percent of their historic range. In their southernmost terri-tory, inside Yellowstone National Park, they were fiercely protected, and hunting outside the park was ended. The bears numbers have grown from about 130 to 700 in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and now Fish and Wildlife is considering removing them from the list, sparking an ongo-ing fight with ranchers on one side, conservationists on the other and the fed-eral government in the middle.Black-footed ferretBlack-footed ferrets exist on about 2 percent of their historic range. Listed as endangered in 1967, they were twice considered extinct in the 20th century before a population of about 20 was found. the Fish and Wildlife Service partnered with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Va., and zoos to breed the animals in captivity and reintroduce them into the wild in a bid to save them. The federal agency is also experimenting with using drones to scatter plague vaccine, encased in peanut butter tablets, to protect the animals against disease. There have been hopeful signs of a small rebound, but as development continues to slice up their habitat, their fate is still dicey.California condorThey are among the largest flying birds in the world, speeding at up to 55 mph on air currents in a search for carrion such as deer. Thousands of years ago, they werenÂt just California condors. They existed as far away as Florida.But like every other animal on this list, it couldnÂt overcome human expansion into America. ÂAs people settled the West, they often shot, poisoned, captured and disturbed the condors, collected their eggs, and reduced their food supply of antelope, elk, and other large wild animals. Even-tually, condors could no longer survive in most places,ÂŽ according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.Endangered Species Act saved these animalsA young alligator peeks through the vegetation in a lake at St. Andrews State Park in Panama City Beach, Fla., on Friday, July 25, 2014.

** The News Herald | Monday, March 13, 2017 B5By Carol Kent WyattThe Washington County News | Cwyatt@chipleypaper.comWASHINGTON COUNTY „ Patty Ward of Vernon sat in a Washington County court-room Monday, waiting for her son, Jamison Haskins, to be sentenced for a metham-phetamine conviction.ÂNo matter what he gets, it will be hard,ÂŽ Ward said. ÂIÂm just hoping that he can finally get some help instead of just being warehoused in a cell block with nothing to do but learn more criminality.ÂŽLike many family members of inmates, Ward said she longs for the day her son can complete his sentence and overcome his past.ÂHe has been battling addiction for 15 years and has been hospitalized for a drug overdose,ÂŽ she said. ÂI am hopeful that Department of Corrections rehabilitative programs can help set him on the right path.ÂŽWard said it was this desperate wish from a motherÂs heart that had her responding when she was approached by fellow Vernon native Timo-thy Lee Carter last fall.Carter, who had been released from the Florida Prison System in September, told Ward that after almost 30 years of living his life in and out of prison, he had decided to work with the Florida Department of Corrections to help improve the agencyÂs re-entry program.In addition to assisting FDOC, he said he was looking for other ways to help reduce recidivism and convinced Ward to co-found ÂHelping Hands Ministries,ÂŽ a non-profit organization he claimed would help former Holmes, Jackson and Washington county inmates transition back into society.Ward accompanied Carter to Tallahassee, where they met with Kim Riley, chief of FDOCÂs Bureau of Readiness and Community Transition, and discussed ways to improve the stateÂs re-entry programs.The pair also met with State Rep. Brad Drake and Sen. George Gainer, both of whom agreed improvements to the existing program could be made.ÂAs it is named, FDOC is a state agency that has the interest of correcting those who have made mistakes,ÂŽ Drake said. ÂItÂs not just about incarcerating someone who has wronged society and keeping them off the streets. At some time, they may go back into society, and we hope that in the time they were in custody we were able to do something to change their behavior and make them productive citizens. If not, we have failed.ÂŽBut somewhere along the line, Helping Hands went off the tracks „ and Carter went missing. Gaining trustMany local residents hesi-tated to help Carter at first „ mainly because his reputation and criminal record preceded him.Carter has more than 40 charges „ including bigamy, numerous counts of grant theft, forgery and fraud „ ranging over 10 counties in Florida. Still more charges are listed in several other states, including Georgia and Alabama.But Amy Cooper, founder of Faith at the Beach, a Bay County ministry, aimed to offer wrap-around services for women experiencing addiction and alcohol abuse, invested in CarterÂs vision, donating more than $80,000 in retail merchandise to stock the thrift store which never opened.According to reports, Carter also accepted monetary and other donations for the phony thrift store from residents in Holmes and Washington counties „ as well as donations Âfor gas moneyÂŽ to travel to Jacksonville, where he stated his teenage daugh-ter had been in a car accident and was not expected to live. A call to the teenÂs mother confirmed the teen had not been in an accident but rather was doing well and present at school the day Carter was taking fuel donations.Ward first filed a complaint with the Washington County SheriffÂs Office last month, stating Carter wrote numer-ous bad checks on accounts belonging to herself and her elderly mother.Today, Carter is nowhere to be found. ÂEmbarrassment and heartbreakÂCooper, who is candid about her own criminal past, said CarterÂs actions hurt both the community and those who are sincere are making a change in their lives.ÂIt troubles me,ÂŽ she said. ÂI have taken time to build my ministry, and unlike when I was addicted to drugs, integrity means something to me now.Â(The ministry) celebrated five years in January,ÂŽ she added. ÂCarterÂs actions are troublesome because I have worked to get grants to help other transition „ but with people like him, it just sets us back. It takes time to build a solid reputation.ÂŽDrake said he prides him-self on being available to listen to the concerns and ideas of his constituents. He also said he took such time with Carter and is deeply sadden by the outcome.ÂIt absolutely devastates me when people come to you asking for compassion and you give them your trust „ then they turn on you,ÂŽ he said. ÂIt makes it very dif-ficult for us as legislators to help those who have sincere intentions.ÂŽWashington County Sher-iff Kevin Crews agreed, saying his office doesnÂt take actions like CarterÂs lightly.ÂAs sheriff, I want our citizens to know that someone purposely defrauding the people of Washington County will never be acceptable,ÂŽ he said. ÂOur community reaches out to those in need out of the goodness of their hearts, and someone taking advantage of that will not be tolerated.ÂŽCarter told the Washington County News in a January interview, ÂAnytime my name comes up, folks will tell others to steer clear. If you Google my name, you wonÂt see any-thing positive ƒ It got to the point my family was relieved when they knew I was in jail because at least they knew I was safe.ÂŽWard said she finds his words almost prophetic.ÂLaw enforcement will eventually catch up with him,ÂŽ she said. ÂAnd when they do, I imagine he will Âbe safe for a long time to come. Carter is a con; not converted.ÂŽShe said more than any-thing, Carter stole her faith.ÂI wanted so much to believe that I did,ÂŽ she said. ÂHe has taken my trust, my hope, my belief in things that are good, and most impor-tantly, I am questioning my own beliefs. I sit in silence in my home, filled with embar-rassment and heartbreak.ÂŽCarter is believed to be hiding in the Pensacola area. Anyone with any information regarding his whereabouts is asked to contact the Washington County SheriffÂs Office at 850-638-6111.Mother of Carter: ÂA con; not convertedÂCarter By Levi BradfordOcala Star-BannerGAINESVILLE (AP) „ Solar now employs more people than coal, according to a report from the Department of Energy. That report also says that in 2016, the number of people working in solar increased by 25 percent.With more people getting into the solar industry, trends in solar are evolving.Wayne Irwin, president of Pure Energy Solar, said his company has been hiring more, keeping up with a steady increase in demand. While solar is usually something people get for their homes, he said thereÂs also been more recent demand from businesses.ÂNow that Amendment 4 passed „ a property tax exemp-tion on solar equipment for businesses „ there have been more inquiries for commercial solar,ÂŽ Irwin said.And because Gainesville Regional Utilities has a higher cost per kilowatt hour than most places in Florida, solar can make financial sense for Gainesville residents, he said.Alachua County leads the pack in Florida solar, producing 20,000 more kilowatts than DeSoto, the next leading county.One trend in solar that Irwin is interested in is the rise in solar scams. He said as demand increases, more people have fallen victim to scare-tactic gimmicks.ÂPeople have bought solar panels because they were told ISIS is going to attack our energy grid,ÂŽ Irwin said. What people end up buying in these cases is poorly built and uncertified solar equipment. Then they come to him to get it fixed.Ken McGurn of McGurn Management Company owns much of downtown, including the Sun City Center, home to MaudeÂs Caf, and Union Street Station, the bottom corner of which is taken up by Dragonfly. Every property the company manages is equipped with solar if it can be.ÂContrary to what some folks believe, we believe in climate change,ÂŽ McGurn said. ÂWe need to do everything we can to reduce the use of carbon.ÂŽHis favorite trend in solar right now, besides prices going down, is the production of solar batteries.ÂThe game-changer is going to be batteries,ÂŽ he said. ÂWhen more people, like Tesla, produce batteries, they get cheaper: economies of scale. You can get solar energy during the day and store it for use at night.ÂŽ Paul Williams, a salesman for The Solar Guys in Gainesville, said heÂs seen home builders begin producing net zero energy homes. These homes produce as much renewable energy as they consume.Irwin said he hopes to provide everyone in Gainesville with solar power. His company has been in talks with the city to deploy portable solar charging stations all over the city, and the program should roll out next month.ÂPeople can charge their cell-phones and laptops, maybe an electric wheelchair: whatever people need,ÂŽ he said.So far, itÂs a pilot program. Pure Energy Solar is sponsoring it so the city can Âtake it for a test drive.ÂŽAlachua County leads state in solar power productionIndustry professionals say the demand for solar power is rising both among businesses and homeowners since Amendment 4 passed in Florida.

What if you thought of everyone as you but in a different body? How would you do it differently than they do? GEMINI (May 21-June 21) „ You may not want to share the conclusions youÂve drawn, as there are many around you, some of them close friends and colleagues, who wonÂt agree. Instead, share the facts that led you to draw the conclusion. CANCER (June 22-July 22) „ YouÂre going to rise to the competition. Do you know who it is?

His father was a good friend who I thought I loved and that he loved me. The day I told him I was pregnant, he disappeared. Our baby boy just passed away from SIDS. IÂm struggling with JakeÂs loss and planning his funeral while taking care of my 5-year-old son. JakeÂs father had his mother call and threaten me. She said, ÂHis name better not be listed anywhere in the obituary!ÂŽ IÂm at a loss about how to deal with both of them. I did not list the fatherÂs name anywhere, but it was my choice. After the funeral IÂm not sure if I want to see either one of them ever again. Any advice? „ GRIEVING IN COLORADODEAR GRIEVING: I am so sorry for the loss of your baby boy. Yes, I do have a word of advice. Even in the midst of your grief, you are thinking clearly. Why you would ever want contact with either of those despicable individuals again is beyond me. Feel free to write them off and go on with your life.DEAR ABBY: I have worked in various retail places for many years. I am surprised at how some parents allow their children to run amok in stores and fail to teach them how to behave in public places. When this happens, and thereÂs a danger of them running into tables and customers (I have seen it happen), should the employees say something to the children? Or should they notify the manager about the disruptive children, and let the manager talk to the parents or the children? Should it be announced over the intercom that children need to stay with their parents? WhatÂs the best way to handle this common problem? A place of business is not a playground. Dignified paying customers who are there to support the business are offended by the lack of discipline some children are allowed to display. „ PAYING CUSTOMERDEAR PAYING CUSTOMER: If you take it upon yourself to ÂcorrectÂŽ the inattentive parent, the person is sure to become defensive. A better way to handle it would be to point it out to the manager of the establishment and let him or her deal with it, because if someone were to be hurt on the premises, there could be legal implications. P.S. If the children are running around a restaurant, they could trip a server carrying food to a table and cause not only a mess but real harm.

For sheer excitement, Selection Sunday belonged to Northwestern. Though it was no surprise when that schoolÂs name popped into the NCAA Tournament bracket, it was a reminder that, yes, this is March Madness „ that time of year where anything can happen. The Wildcats, long-time losers in the Big Ten, were officially invited to the tournament for the first time in school history, and the group-hugging, selfietaking reaction from the players (and others) when their name came up showed how much the accomplish-ment really meant.ÂWhen I came here four years ago, it was a belief in a day like today,ÂŽ said coach Chris Collins, whose team won 23 games on its way to the tournament. Another set of Wildcats „ the ones from Villanova „ were given the tourna-mentÂs top overall seed. The defending champions were joined by Kansas, North Carolina and Gonzaga on the Â1ÂŽ line „ a quartet that produced very little in the way of head scratching. With the brackets set, the action begins Tuesday and Wednesday with open-ing-round games that will include matchups between the last at-large teams invited into the draw: No. 11 seeds Providence vs. South-ern California and Kansas State vs. Wake Forest. The tournament gets into full swing Thursday, with the Final Four set for April 1 and 3 in Phoenix. Villanova, which won the title last year on a buzzer-beating jump shot by Kris Jenkins, will open its quest for back-to-back titles against the winner of an opening-round game between New Orleans and Mount Saint MaryÂs.ÂI want the guys to enjoy it Northwestern captures rst-ever bid; Villanova top overall seedNorthwestern coach Chris Collins wipes his eyes during the teamÂs watch party for the NCAA Tournament selection show Sunday in Evanston, Ill.

Kentucky and UCLA, the No. 2 and 3 seeds, have the potential to meet in the Sweet 16. The Tar Heels, the No. 1 seed, would meet the Wildcats in the regional “ nal if both get through the bracket. They played arguably the best game of the season in December, a fast-paced thriller in Las Vegas won 103-100 by Kentucky behind Malik MonkÂs 47-point night. A rematch with a spot in the Final Four on the line could be epic.Le outAs is the case every year, several teams were disappointed when the bracket was announced. Illinois State won 27 games, “ nished 17-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference and lost to Wichita State in the tournament title game. The Redbirds were left out when the teams were called, leaving them devastated. Syracuse also came up short. The Orange had too many bad losses early, a 2-11 record away from home and a high RPI of 84. Others that had their hopes crushed: California, Georgia, Illinois and Iowa.

** The News Herald | Monday, March 13, 2017 C3tonight, and then tomorrow, weÂre just one of 68 teams,ÂŽ Villanova coach Jay Wright said. Though Kansas was the overall second seed, it opened as the favorite in Las Vegas, at 8-1. North Carolina and Villanova were next at 9-1, followed by Gonzaga, Duke and Kentucky at 10-1.Overall, the bracket pro-duced more small quibbles than true blockbusters. If there was any debate about the top, it was about whether Duke (27-8) really belonged as a No. 1 instead of a No. 2, which is where it ended up. The Blue Devils won four games in four nights at the Atlantic Coast Confer-ence tournament, and have beaten the rival Tar Heels (27-7) twice. But Mark Hollis, the chair of the selection committee, beat back that debate quickly, telling the commentators on CBS (who dragged out the bracket reveal for more than a half hour) that Duke entered the week as a No. 4 seed. And though the Blue Devils kept winning over the weekend, Âthey got stopped on the way by teams that won both their regular-season and conference tournaments (Kentucky and Arizona) and they were never com-pared to teams on the No. 1 line,ÂŽ Hollis said. Teams that didnÂt make it off the bubble included Syracuse and Illinois State. Syracuse was vulnerable because of its 84th ranking in the RPI and 2-11 record on the road. Still, the Orange ouster was notable because of the outcry when Jim BoeheimÂs team made the field with a similarly mediocre resume last year „ then made it all the way to the Final Four. ÂLast year, we had the same number of losses (14) and the committee chose to go with teams that had wins,ÂŽ said Boeheim, whose teamÂs losses this season included blowouts against lower-division St. Johns and Boston College. ÂThis year, it was virtually the same committee but they were emphasizing the losses you had.ÂŽ Illinois StateÂs chances took a blow when it lost to Wichita State by 20 in the final of the Missouri Valley Conference. Also, it turns out Wichita State wasnÂt as highly regarded as many suspected „ the 20th-ranked team in the latest Associated Press poll only got a No. 10 seed. Kentucky coach John Calipari, whose Wildcats could face Wichita State in the second round, reemphasized a point he made last year. ÂWhen you mis-seed somebody, it hurts the seeds above them,ÂŽ he said. ÂYou put a team at Â8 that shouldnÂt be there, and the Â1 looks at it like, ÂWhy are we playing this team?ÂŽÂ With never-ending realignment turning more mid-major programs into true majors, the number of so-called little guys making the tournament continues to decline „ even if you do count Gonzaga of the West Coast Conference as one of those. Led by the ACC with nine teams, then the Big East and Big Ten with seven each, the six biggest conferences took 32 of the 36 at-large spots this year. TOURNEYContinued from C1 The consolation prize for Cantlay was a runner-up finish that paid $680,400, more than enough for him to secure full status for the rest of the year. The former No. 1 amateur was playing for only the second time since 2014 because of a stress fracture in his backEven in loss, it was a bright return for the UCLA star. Cantlay wondered if his back would ever allow him to regain his game, and he endured an even greater burden a year ago February when his best friend and caddie, Chris Roth, was struck and killed by a car as they were walking to a restau-rant for dinner in California.ÂIt doesnÂt really feel like much consolation at the moment,ÂŽ Cantlay said about securing his card. ÂI didnÂt finish the deal.ÂŽHadwin finished at 14-under 270 after a duel that featured big putts along the back nine of the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook.The Canadian had a four-shot lead with 10 holes to play when Cantlay started to apply enormous pressure with an approach into 3 feet at No. 9 and a 15-foot birdie putt to start the back nine. Cantlay had 7 feet for a third straight birdie on the par-5 11th when Hadwin holed a birdie putt from 25 feet to keep a two-shot lead.The big blow appeared to come at the par-3 13th, where Cantlay hit a 7-iron at the flag and came up about 8 feet short. Hadwin played it safe out to the fat of the green, and his 55-foot putt swirled into the cup to keep the lead at two shots when Cantlay made his birdieCantlay made his fifth birdie in six holes with a 20-footer on the par-5 14th, only to fall two behind again with another poor bunker shot on the 15th.Cantlay was only 1 of 6 in sand saves for the week.ThatÂs when Hadwin let him back into the mix one last time with his worst swing of the swing, letting the fairway metal dangle over his shoulder as the ball headed to the middle of the pond.The final mistake belonged to Cantlay, and that was enough for Hadwin to break through for his first PGA Tour victory.Jim Herman (68) and PGA Tour rookie Dominic Bozzelli (67) tied for third, two strokes behind Hadwin.Tony Finau closed with a 64 to finish alone in fifth, though that likely will narrowly keep him out of the Dell Match Play in two weeks. Finau only moves to No. 70 in the world, and as many as five players are likely to withdraw.Jason Dufner birdied his last two holes for a 67 to tie for 11th and qualify for Match Play.Hadwin, meanwhile, would get into his first World Golf Championship except for his wedding, which is the Friday of the Match Play. They had planned to go to French Poly-nesia for their honeymoon a week later, though Hadwin had said if he won he might have to postpone that to go Âthe greenest place on earth.ÂŽ HADWINContinued from C1Adam Hadwin chips onto the “ rst green during the “ nal round of the Valspar Championship golf tournament Sunday at Innisbrook in Palm Harbor, Fla. [MIKE CARLSON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS] The Associated PressWASHINGTON „ The Michigan basketball team crammed a lifetime worth of memories into one magical week, and they received a treasured souvenir as a keepsake.After defeating No. 24 Wis-consin 71-56 on Sunday to win their first Big Ten Tour-nament championship, the eighth-seeded Wolverines held high the hardware that accompanied the feat.Before helping cut down the net, Michigan coach John Beilein gathered his players to deliver an emotional message.ÂWhat I told them is, ÂYouÂre going to come back 20 years from now and that trophy is going to sit there and youÂre going to tell your grandkids about those five days and what happened. YouÂll love it forever.ÂÂŽThe Wolverines began their journey with a scary skid off the airport runway in Michigan. They ended it by over-whelming the second-seeded Badgers, who had won three straight „ including the regular season finale against Minnesota „ by a total of 55 points.Between the aborted flight and their final unexpected victory, Michigan beat Illinois, eliminated top-seed Purdue and sent home No. 4 seed Minnesota.ÂIt means so much to all of us,ÂŽ senior guard Zak Irvin said. ÂAll of the adversity that weÂve been to throughout the whole tournament, we stuck together as a family and got the job done.ÂŽAnd so, the first Big Ten Tournament in the nationÂs capital ended with a surprise champion cutting down the nets at Verizon Center. Michigan won the title in 1998 but had it vacated due to NCAA sanctions.Tournament MVP Derrick Walton Jr. scored 22 points, D.J. Wilson added 17 and Irvin had 15 for Michigan, which had lost 17 of its previous 20 games against Wisconsin. The Wolverines shot 56 percent and were 10 for 23 from beyond the arc.As a reward, Michigan will be the No. 7 seed in the Mid-west and open the NCAA Tournament against Okla-homa State.ÂWe overcame a lot,ÂŽ Walton said. ÂHad a lot of trials and tribulations. All I can say is God is good. WeÂre here for a reason.ÂŽ SECNO. 8 KENTUCKY 82, ARKANSAS 65: DeÂAaron Fox scored 18 points, and No. 8 Kentucky won its third straight Southeastern Conference Tournament championship by beating Arkansas. The Wildcats (29-5) added their 30th tournament title all-time to their 48 regular season championships in convincing fashion. The Razorbacks couldnÂt string together points the way they usually do, not with Kentucky answering every big bucket with its own run. The big spurt came as Kentucky scored 13 straight points to end the “ rst half and into the opening minute of the second that turned a threepoint lead to a 46-30 edge. Arkansas (25-9) fell to 1-6 in this championship, having lost to Kentucky for the second time in three years.AACNO. 12 SMU 71, NO. 15 CINCINNATI 56: Sterling Brown scored 18 points to help send No. 12 SMU streaking into the NCAA Tournament with a victory over No. 15 Cincinnati in the American Athletic Conference championship game. Tournament MVP Simi Ojeleye added 14 points, Jarrey Foster had 13 and Ben Moore scored 12 for Mustangs (30-4), who won their 16th straight game and second AAC title in three years. The Mustangs took the championship in 2015, but missed last yearÂs postseason under NCAA sanctions.
