Bickel and Hudson, from the Columbia County Fire Rescue Fort White Station, were enjoying a group fishing expedition with several friends and family members on Saturday afternoon, not expecting to soon embark on a rescue mission. On the side, Bickel and his fiance run Big Bend Adventures, a boat chartering service based out of the Town of Suwannee in Dixie County. Hudsons 32nd birthday was coming up, so his family booked the trip to celebrate the occasion. We were catching fish, having a good time, Bickel said. Radio chatter from the Coast Guard interrupted the fun around 12:50 p.m. Five people had been stranded on a raft after their 74-foot boat caught fire more than 50 miles off the coast. The incident happened about 28 miles south of the groups location. We packed up and left in a hurry, Bickel said. The Coast Guard provided GPS coordinates, but they werent necessary. Smoke was already rising over the horizon, marking the spot. As the partys boat approached the life raft, Bickels fiance, Danielle Gainey, noticed the overpowering stench of diesel. The survivors were still processing what had happened, Gainey said. I dont think it really hit them yet, she said. The Coast Guard was already working on the scene when Bickel pulled his boat up to the raft and got to work getting the survivors onboard. The whole fishing party started helping them get onto the vessel, Gainey said. You dont even think about what youre doing, she said. Its just a gut reaction. Wed want somebody to do the same for us. Bickel, Gainey and Hudson declined to share details about the survivors, out of respect for their privacy. The boat was headed toward the coast when Bickel realized he had no plan to help the survivors once they reached shore. Im thinking on my way in, what am I going to do when I get there? he said. Bickel talked to a young girl from the life raft, asking her about the biggest fish shed ever caught. He decided to take a detour to help her beat that record. Just trying to brighten up her day a bit, he said. The fishing expeditions role in the rescue was only a small part of the big picture, Gainey said.

extra home for the night, while the Suwannee Baptist Church got them new clothes and bought them dinner. It really hit home, Gainey said. Pretty emotional for everyone. Bickel said his company would try to make it up to Hudson and his group, since their fishing trip was cut short. The incident has also made him re-evaluate the safety equipment on his boats, he said, and the company is doubling up on items such as radios and satellite phones.

RESCUEContinued From 1A 21 more cases are taken from anti-death-penalty prosecutorBy BRENDAN FARRINGTONAssociated PressTALLAHASSEE Floridas governor on Monday took 21 more first-degree murder cases away from a Democratic prosecutor who has said she will no longer seek the death penalty. Gov. Rick Scott gave the cases being handled by Orlando-area State Attorney Aramis Ayala to neighboring judicial circuit State Attorney Brad King. Ayala has come under fire recently after announcing she wouldnt seek the death penalty against Markeith Loyd or any other defendant. Loyd is charged with killing an Orlando police lieutenant and his pregnant ex-girlfriend earlier this year. Scott took the Loyd case away from Ayala last month and reassigned it to King. The families who tragically lost someone deserve a state attorney who will take the time to review every individual fact and circumstance before making such an impactful decision, Scott said in a news release. State Attorney Ayalas complete refusal to consider capital punishment for the entirety of her term sends an unacceptable message that she is not interested in considering every available option in the fight for justice. Ayalas spokeswoman said Scott never notified her office about his order and instead learned about it through the media. Ms. Ayala remains steadfast in her position the Governor is abusing his authority and has compromised the independence and integrity of the criminal justice system, said Eryka Washington. Ayala has said she plans to ask the Supreme Court to overturn the governors decision to strip her of the Loyd case.By CARL MCKINNEYcmckinney@lakecityreporter.comA local man was arrested on Friday afternoon for sexually battering a teenage girl, according to sheriffs reports. Donald Richard Kramer, 65, from Southwest Woodview Way, faces a charge of lewd and lascivious behavior with a victim between 12 and 16, the report states. The Columbia County Sheriffs Office responded to the Lake City VA Medical Center on March 8 after a complaint was filed regarding the case. It was alleged that Kramer began inappropriately touching the victim when she was in the sixth grade, according to the report, and the most recent occurrence was on March 5. CCSO filed a report with the Florida Department of Children and Families. Investigators gathered testimony from multiple subjects. As of March 10, Kramer had been involuntarily admitted to a mental health ward at the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville. A CCSO deputy spoke with Kramer at the facility, but details from the interview are redacted in the report. A child protection team in Gainesville was contacted and scheduled a forensic interview on March 13. An arrest affidavit was later filed.Man faces molestation chargesreport states. The deputy was driving through the area of Yulan Street and Bryant Avenue when the heavy odor of cannabis seeped into the patrol vehicle, leading to the arrest of Shauen Lee Miller, 27, and Lewis John Padgett, 38, the report states. An older woman was sitting on the porch and told the deputy she was there to drop off a pizza for her sons, Miller and Padgett. Miller came outside and was asked whether anyone else was in the house. He claimed there was nobody else home and he was smoking a little bit of marijuana and only had a small amount left, according to the report. The smell, however, was that of fresh, un-burnt cannabis, the report states. The deputy heard someone else moving about in the house and had Miller open the door. According to the report, the deputy performed a security sweep for his own safety and noticed several marijuana plants in multiple rooms. The drug task force was notified and conducted a full search after obtaining a warrant. Miller and Padgett, who were also wanted for burglary in Alachua County, were taken to the Columbia County Detention Facility on charges of possession of marijuana, production of marijuana, possession or use of drug paraphernalia and the manufacturing or delivery of drug paraphernalia.

To commission or not to commission? That is the question facing Congress and the White House regarding how best to investigate Russias meddling in the 2016 elections. Actually, let me rephrase that: That is the question that should be facing Congress and the White House. There is no indication, however, that the independent commission question is receiving any serious attention on either end of Pennsylvania Avenue since Republicans control both ends of that famed thoroughfare (although control is too strong a word for the mastery Republicans are able to exert on anything these days). On the other hand, two-thirds of the American people support an independent commission investigating the potential links between some of Donald Trumps campaign advisors and the Russian government, according to a recent Quinnipiac Poll. And Democrats in Congress want a commission or a special prosecutor. It is still an open issue. Democrats might want to be careful what they wish for because the history of independent commissions there are several types is mixed. Republicans might want to reconsider their knee-jerk rejection of committing to a commission for the same reasons. The partisan fallout of commissions and inquisitions is not always predictable. Nor is their usefulness in explaining or investigating their assigned topics. The most compelling reason to form an independent commission is decidedly not to investigate whether Trump or any Trump associates or staff colluded with Russian meddling. In the end, that is a criminal or prosecutorial matter. Congressional committees and independent commissions dont indict evildoers but they can surely muck up cases against them. The criminal part should be left to the prosecutorial pros the FBI and the Justice Department. In my mind, it is obvious the Justice Department ought to appoint a special prosecutor to oversee that investigation; both the attorney general and the director of the FBI already are tarnished and conflicted. The case for some kind of commission will be stronger if a special prosecutor is not appointed, which seems likely. Commissions and prosecutors, however, have different missions that arent always compatible. A prosecutor is not a substitute for oversight. In the Russian affair, there are obviously urgent questions far beyond the purview of a criminal investigation, whether FBI Director James Comey or a special prosecutor leads it. They include: Were Comeys various public pronouncements about the investigation of Hillary Clintons emails improper or unethical? Should the Obama administration have made public more of what it knew about Russias operations in the U.S. before the election? Did the intelligence community do a competent job of detecting and rebutting Russias attempts to undermine the elections? Are the intelligence community and election oversight organizations prepared for the next elections in 2018 and 2020? Now, isnt it the job of the House and Senate intelligence committees to answer precisely those kinds of questions? Indeed it is. The question then is whether those committees have enough credibility within Congress and with the public to give trusted answers. The answer for the House Intelligence Committee is absolutely not. The answer for the Senate Intelligence Committee is probably not. Together, these threads tie up the case for an independent commission fairly well. A criminal investigation, unless led by a special prosecutor, will be tainted and it cant address policy questions. The standing congressional committees already are locked in partisan combat at a time when Congress is held in public contempt anyway. The question of Russian interference in American elections is obviously commission-worthy. So what kind of commission? There are three different set-ups we refer to as independent commissions: presidential commissions, obviously are appointed by the president (the Warren Commission on the JFK assassination, the Rogers Commission on the Challenger disaster); joint commissions are created by Congress (the 9/11 Commission led by Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton); and special committees of Congress like the Senate Watergate Committee and the IranContra committees. The record of commissions isnt so strong that it is a slam-dunk case that we need one now. Some have been shallow, partisan or interfered with criminal prosecutions. Others met pressing national needs. Philip Shenon, who has written histories of the Warren Commission and the 9/11 Commission, recently wrote that history doesnt offer much hope that an independent commission would accomplish the Democrats goals, at least not if those goals include getting to the bottom of this mess in a timely fashion and holding individuals accountable for their wrongdoing. In the real world, Trump will not appoint a presidential commission and the Republican Congress wont sanction either a joint commission or a special committee of Congress not unless a stash of smoking guns turns up that gives them absolutely no choice. The upside of this partisanship is the country might be spared a long political circus. The downside is that we may never know the full story of the Russian escapades of 2016 and well still have to endure a long political circus.

This mission will be accomplished through the teamwork of professionals dedicated to truth, integrity and hard work. Todd Wilson, Publisher Robert Bridges, Editor Frances Wainwright, Controller Dink NeSmith, President Tom Wood, ChairmanLet locals regulate rentalsA persons home is his castle. Tell that to Tallahassee. Two bills moving through the Florida Legislature would give a pass to nui sance homes in some neighborhoods and violate home-r ule powers of local governments to make their own decisions. State lawmakers should reject these measures, and local governments and property own ers should find common ground on how to deal with Airbnb and other vacation r entals. A House subcommittee passed a bill (HB 425) last week that bars cities and counties from passing new ordinances that restrict vacation rentals of private homes. Despite opposition from a group of beach com munities across the state, the House panel backed the measur e as supporters described the bill as a response to an attack on tourism and private property rights. This is no attack on tourism, and property rights are a two-way street. Many residents in popular neighbor hoods are fed up with all-night parties, excessive noise, cars blocking the streets and other impacts from some vacation rentals. With services such as Airbnb making vacation rentals of private homes more popular, resi dents in these same communities are suffering from mega-homes that operate as mini-hotels but masquerade as single-family homes. Some sleep more than a dozen, with people ar riving at all times of the day. Not surprisingly, this has created tension and eroded the quality of life for many full-time residents, especially in beach communities in the bay area and across the state. The Legislature pre-empted local vacation rental regulations in 2011 but narrowed the law in 2014. This bill, and a similar one (SB 188) sponsored by Sen. Greg Steube, R-Sarasota, would return to the broader ban from 2011, preventing local governments from treating vacation rentals differently than any other home. A grandfather provision currently in place for ordinances enacted by June 2011 would remain. This is an unreasonable, one-size-fits-all response to a specific problem. It is usually better to regulate busi nesses across the state in a uniform manner. But cities also have historically played a r ole by using their landuse powers to ensure that property uses in the same areas complement rather than conflict with each other. Thats why communities dont allow gas stations, for example, next to single-family homes. By striking this balance, cities are protecting the property rights of both neighbors. The cities are uniquely suited to make these calls, and they have a public process for bringing all parties to the table residents, Realtors, landlords to fashion rules that all can tolerate. The impacts being felt in many of these commu nities will not be solved by simply calling the police or code enfor cement. The heavy use of these megahomes is wholly incompatible with the neighborhoods in which many are crammed. Rather than resolve these conflicts, the bills moving forward would exac erbate them by turning a blind eye to abusive tenants and indifferent landlords and a cold shoulder to residents who have invested their time and money in their pr operties. Local governments are best positioned to deal with Airbnb and other rental issues, and state legislators should quit trying to micromanage everything from Tallahassee. Tampa Bay TimesSpecial commission or not? Russians demonstrated last week in Moscow, and 98 other cities across the country, against corruption in the government of Vladimir Putin. There is a risk of Washington taking the protests less seriously than it should. At the moment, when Americans hear the word Russia, they are more likely to think of the threat to the practice of our democracy represented by whatever interference in the 2016 elections Putins government may have undertaken. He is on something of a roll in international diplomacy. The Syrian war and his support of President Bashar Assad seem to be paying off. French presidential front-runner Marine Le Pen just paid him a very visible visit. Washington is somewhat agog in wanting to know what contacts Jared Kushner, President Donald Trumps son-in-law and adviser, had with Russian officials, including the head of Putins pet financial institution, the state development bank, prior to the inauguration. For Putin and it is certain that, as a former KGB officer and former head of the Federal Security Service, he is wide awake on this one the highest priority right now is the widespread demonstration against his government by many thousands of people last week. His approval rating, for what it is worth in a very dishonest political system, still stands above 80 percent. He also retains full control of the security services, police, military and intelligence agencies, and exerts strong control over media, especially television. At the same time, in Russia, remember that what happens in the streets can be very important. History would note the dates of 1905, 1917 and 1991, when Putins predecessor, Boris N. Yeltsin, came to power, bringing the 73-year-old seemingly indestructible Soviet Union to an end. In each case the head of state apparently had the support of the security forces. (Remember the Cossacks, charging workers who were led by a priest in St. Petersburg in 1905.) But the people turned on the government and brought it down. This time for the Russian people, and particularly the youth who predominated among Sundays crowds, the issue is corruption, and the opulence of the lifestyle of the ruling Russian business and political elite, an issue referred to in the United States more simply as economic inequality. The depth of feeling lying under the actions of the people in the streets is truly hard to estimate in a society like Russias. On Sunday the protests focused on the actions of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev as a safer proxy for Putin. Medvedev reacted in the spirit of Marie Antoinette: He went skiing and posted on Instagram a picture of himself on the slopes. But it is certain that Putin didnt miss the message. Last time, he grabbed Crimea to distract the population with a nationalist cause. That tendency makes him especially dangerous right now, and not to be trifled with.Russian protests have a strong history Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Dick Meyer is chief Washington correspondent for the Scripps Washington Bureau and DecodeDC (www.newsnet5. com/decodedc).

The students who receive the backpacks often depend on free meals from their schools to keep them fed during the week. The backpacks provide sufficient food for the weekend.

Craft, of Lake City, also brought the tournaments biggest fish to the scales, an 8.57-pound largemouth, which solidified his 18.77pound tournament stringer. The tournament was held Saturday at Ellie Rays RV Boat Ramp on the Santa Fe River. Jamie Albritton, co-tournament director for Saturdays event, said it was the best open bass tournament the organization has had since it started the benefit tourneys seven years ago. There were 127 boats that participated in this years tournament. Thats the largest field ever, Albritton said. The final numbers for the proceeds are not in yet, but its going to exceed $50,000. Albritton said Live Oak Pest Control put up a $500 bonus for the events big fish as people were trying to raise money for Blayze Bedenbaugh, a Lake City 13-year-old fighting cancer, and Craft, who fished by himself, donated the his bonus to the youngster. I really dont have the words to describe the event, Albritton said. If people dont believe in something magical they need to come out and watch this tournament. I saw grown men, manly men, breakdown and cry and donate money to help that little boy. Albritton said the spirit to eradicate cancer unified the audience and several people who won Yeti coolers in the benefit raffle donated them back to the auction were some got as much as $800. The outpouring from the community was just unreal, he said. More than 2,000 people attended the event weighin. Harper, a cancer survivor, won the Ruben Thomas Bounty Bag. The Bounty Bag is a prize given to a random participant who finishes behind the random boat entry number selected by the tournament director. It was crazy how people just kept coming and donating hundred dollar bills, added Tracy Harper, an angler who fished in the event. I loved fishing it. It was fun to be there and CHS BASEBALLPhotos by BRENT KURKENDALL/Special to the ReporterColumbia pitcher Cal Gilliam throws the ball against Lincoln on Saturday.

Not pictured: Coach Tommy Houk NBAOKCs Westbrook proving he is MVP candidate, great teammateBy CLIFF BRUNTAssociated PressOKLAHOMA CITY Russell Westbrook has seemingly been a one-man wrecking crew, stacking up triple-doubles like no one in half a century and producing late in games like few players in recent memory. But the historical stats and heroics have somewhat overshadowed one other Westbrook transformation: The national perception he wasnt a good teammate. Hes been that, and then some. Hes making big plays, Thunder forward Enes Kanter said. Thats what a big player does. Hes taking a lot of responsibility and doing amazing things. And hes making everybody better around him. There were questions Westbrook the teammate when about Kevin Durant left for Golden State in free agency last summer. Then the huge questions about what kind of team would the Thunder have with Westbrook as their unquestioned leader. Well, he has seized the moment. He has taken his game to another level and pulled his teammates along. Whatever the team has needed a big shot, a scoring flurry, a key pass, a defensive play he has delivered. Even without Durant to pass the ball to a four-time scoring champion Westbrook is at the same pace for assists as last year. As a team, we all do our part, Westbrook said. Its not just me. Im not just playing by myself. These guys do a lot of different things, whether they are screening or making big shots, defensive plays that allow us to get shots that weve been getting to close games. Theyve been doing it all season. But its impossible to ignore what Westbrook has done. He needs one more triple-double to match Oscar Robertsons single-season record of 41 set during the 1961-62 season. Hell have the chance to tie Tuesday at home against Milwaukee, and he could potentially set a new mark Wednesday in Memphis. OKC continued on 6B B1

Homeland R Is for Romeo :10 to Yuma (2007) R NCAA WOMENS CHAMPIONSHIPStaley proud to be 2nd AfricanAmerican coach to win title By DOUG FEINBERGAssociated PressDALLAS Dawn Staley hopes to pass along a piece of her first championship net to another aspiring African-American coach the same as Carolyn Peck did for her years ago. Staley joined Peck as the only African-American coaches to win an NCAA womens basketball championship Sunday night when South Carolina beat Mississippi State 67-55. Peck, who won a title at Purdue in 1999, gave Staley a piece of her net a few years ago when she was a commentator. Staley has held it close ever since. Ive had it in my wallet for years. She said, When you win your national championship, just return it, Staley said. Im going to have to pass a piece of my net on to somebody else so they can share and hopefully accomplish something as big as this. I do have to give a shout out to Carolyn Peck, and I will return her net, thankfully. Staley proudly wore the net she cut down around her neck and still had it on hours later when she left the arena. Im going to enjoy it. Its something that Ive been coaching for 17 years now. I played college basketball, what, 25 to 28 years ago. It took that long, Staley said. I also want people to know that just because something takes a long time, I mean, you have to have patience, you have to persevere, stay with it. If something is a goal of yours to accomplish, you dont give up on it. I never gave up on winning a national championship, no matter how hard it was, no matter what it looked like. Aja Wilson scored 23 points to help coach Staley get her first title. Staley made the Final Four three times as a player at Virginia but never won. She also led the Gamecocks to the national semifinals two years ago before losing to Notre Dame. It means that I can check off one of the things that had been a void in my career, Staley said. Something I wanted to do. It was one of two opportunities that I saw women play when I was younger: national championship games and Olympics. Those were things that I held dear and near to me growing up. Those were the things I saw and were shooting for. Wilson, a native South Carolina player who was Staleys biggest recruit ever, was the key. She was thrilled to help Staley get her first title. I cant put into words how much it meant to win the game for coach, Wilson said. Shes put in so much time and sweat into this. ... It really means something special to bring this back home for such a great person like coach Staley. Mississippi State had all the momentum on its side after a shocking win over UConn on Friday night that ended the Huskies record 111game winning streak. The Bulldogs couldnt muster the same effort against the Gamecocks. Morgan William, who had become the face of the tournament with the game-winner against the Huskies after a 41-point performance against Baylor, was held to just 8 points. South Carolina (33-4) turned a 10-point halftime lead into a 45-31 advantage midway through the third quarter before the Bulldogs rallied. Mississippi State (34-5) slowly cut into its deficit, getting with 54-50 on Jazzmun Holmes jumper. That brought a huge cheer from the thousands of Mississippi State fans who made the 8-hour trip from Starkville, Mississippi. But thats as close as the Bulldogs could get. The victory in front of a sellout crowd came one day after the Gamecocks mens basketball team lost in the Final Four in Glendale, Arizona. Wilson, who grew up in South Carolina, blocked a shot on one end of the court and then hit a short jumper in the lane that started a 12-2 run to put the game away. Staley emptied her bench with less than a minute left and Wilson left with tears of joy. The junior center sees a repeat in the future for the Gamecocks, who return most of their core players. Man, just be with us next year, were trying to be in this same spot next year, were going to see how it goes, Wilson said after winning the most outstanding player award for the Final Four. The Gamecocks won the title without star center Alaina Coates, who hurt her ankle in the SEC Tournament. She didnt even travel with the team to Dallas. Our players never fretted, La we got you a ring. We got you a ring, Staley said of Coates. Allisha Gray, Kaela Davis they all believed in it. They spent a year getting to know our team, getting to know our system. Got the opportunity to play and we become national champions. It was the third loss for the Bulldogs against the Gamecocks this season. Mississippi State dropped a game in South Carolina in the regular season as well as the SEC Tournament title game. Today doesnt define us, said Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer, who is 0-9 in his career against South Carolina. It certainly doesnt define this team or this season. We had a heck of a year. Obviously, weve had some hard times dealing with them. Today was no different. No team had a tougher road to the championship than the second-seeded Bulldogs. They were trying to become the third team in NCAA history to beat three No. 1 seeds en route to the title. Tennessee did it in 1987 and Louisiana Tech accomplished the same feat a year later. The Bulldogs had already knocked off top-seed Baylor and UConn to get to the championship game. This was the sixth time in NCAA Tournament history that teams from the same conference played for the national championship, including three by the SEC. Tennessee won both of those matchups, the last coming in 1996 when the Lady Vols beat Georgia.NFLEx-NFL star begins presenting defense in double-murder trialAssociated PressBOSTON Lawyers for former NFL star Aaron Hernandez began presenting their defense at his double-murder trial Monday with a fan who said Hernandez was polite and calm the night he is accused of gunning down two men after a brief encounter at a Boston nightclub. Hernandezs legal team began calling witnesses after prosecutors rested their case Monday. The first defense witness was Antoine Salvador, a psychology doctoral student who met Hernandez inside the club and asked him to pose with him for a photo. Salvador said Hernandez initially politely declined his request but agreed after Salvador told him it was his birthday. When one of Hernandezs lawyers asked Salvador if Hernandez looked angry, Salvador replied, Not at all. Salvador said he later saw Hernandez outside the club, about 20 minutes before the shootings. He said he thanked Hernandez for the photo, and Hernandez replied, No problem. Have a good night. Prosecutors have said Hernandez killed Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado because he felt disrespected after de Abreu bumped into him and spilled his drink. Salvador said he did not see anyone bump into Hernandez. Lawyers for the former tight end for the New England Patriots have claimed that Alexander Bradley a friend who was with Hernandez that night shot the men in a drug dispute.Piscotty agrees to 6-year deal with CardinalsBy KURT VOIGTAssociated PressST. LOUIS A day after St. Louis signed a legacy contract with one of its alltime greats, the Cardinals went back to work locking up their young nucleus of talent. Right fielder Stephen Piscotty became the latest St. Louis youngster to agree to a long-term contract, finalizing a $33.5 million, six-year deal Monday that includes a team option for a seventh season. Piscottys signing was announced a day after St. Louis signed catcher Yadier Molina to a $60 million, three-year deal covering 2018-20, and it is in line with the teams pre-arbitration contracts it previously signed with current Cardinals Matt Carpenter and Kolten Wong. The contract also follows St. Louis signing of star pitcher Carlos Martinez to a $51 million, five-year deal in February ending a brief, but hectic period of negotiating with homegrown talent for a Cardinals team intent remaining relevant as a mid-market team in an NL Central currently ruled by the World Series champion Chicago Cubs. When you look at the climate of baseball right now and the free-agent market, its not a place that were going to have a lot of success in if were going to rely on it, St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak said. To be able to lock up our younger and talented players does mean a lot to our future. The 26-year-old Piscotty would have been eligible for arbitration following the 2018 season and free agency after the 2021 season. The deal announced Monday calls for a $2 million signing bonus payable within 30 days of approval by the commissioners office, salaries of $1 million each in of the first two years, $7 million apiece in 2018 and and $7.25 million in each of the next two years.

LAKECITY REPORTER ADVICE & COMICSTUE SD AY, A PRIL 4, 2017 3B DEAR ABBY: My daughter is graduating from high school in May. She has been accepted to a prestigious university, entirely due to her own hard work and dedication. My father-in-law recently informed us that his new wife had selected our daughters graduation pr esent, and they are excited to give it to her. They chose a pink luggage set. My husband and I are mystified about why they decided this would be the per fect gift for our daughter. We know she will be embarrassed but gracious if she receives this gift in front of our family and friends on graduation day. We would like to spare her the awkwardness and having to return an inappropriate gift. Abby would it be rude of us to strongly encourage them to rethink their gift? How do we broach the subject so we dont cause hurt feelings or a rift? We are grateful for their generosity, but we know the gift wont suit our grad. MYSTIFIED MOTHER DEAR MOTHER: I do not advise your becoming involved with this. Warn your daughter in advance what the gift will be so she isnt caught flat-footed on graduation day. If she chooses to exchange the luggage for something she feels will be more appropriate, she should do so. DEAR ABBY : I have a tough problem. I care very much for my girlfriend. She keeps me in check and does everything for me. However, my best friends sister and I are extremely close. By close, I mean we have conversations about how things would be if we were dating. We have so much fun together. We never, ever argue, whereas my girlfriend and I are constantly fighting. I legitimately want the other girl, but I dont know what I should do. SCARED AND STUCK IN ST. PAUL DEAR SCARED AND STUCK: Y ou are a free man, neither married nor engaged. Because you have romantic feelings for someone else, gather your courage and level with your girlfriend. Tell her that while you appreciate everything she has done for you, you want to be free to date other people and think she should, too. DEAR ABBY: My ex-husband recently died, and I have just learned he had an illegitimate son 25 years ago. The son tracked me down wanting to know things about his biological father. My late husband and I had two children before this one was born. So, do I tell my children they have a half-brother and his aunts they have another nephew? TRACKED DOWN IN ILLINOIS DEAR TRACKED DOWN: I see no reason to make any announcements right now. Keep the news to yourself until you are sure that the man wants more contact with his relatives and isnt just looking for medical infor mation that could affect him.

CRAFT Continued From 1BOklahoma City has needed every bit of Westbrooks excellence. The Thunder have a 31-9 record when he gets a triple-double, and a 12-24 mark when he doesnt. All the things that have stood out about Westbrook over the years have put him in position to rewrite the record books. The electrifying dunks, his speed and raw emotion that stems from a relentless competitive drive, they are all still there. Yet, the intangibles basketball IQ, leadership and willingness to trust his teammates are why he has risen to this level. He manages the game so much better than he used to, said Thunder forward Nick Collison, who has been Westbrooks teammate his entire professional career. When he first got here, he competed like crazy like he does now, he had a ton of talent, but he was just out there trying to beat his man and just compete. I think the place where you see the huge jumps is just his control of the game and his understanding of the game. Hes in total control out there. Westbrook almost certainly will be the first player since Robertson in 1961-62 to average a triple-double for an entire season. He will do so while likely winning his second scoring title. And, while there have been season-long question whether he would break down from carrying so much of the load, he actually has gotten stronger since the All-Star break. His post All-Star averages of 34.3 points, 11.1 rebounds and 11.3 assists per game all are up from his pre-All-Star numbers. He has increased his field goal, 3-point and free throw percentages since the break while playing slightly more minutes. Hes out of control, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. Out of control good. Its fun to watch. What else can you say? When the season started, if somebody said somebodys going to do that, youd think they were a little wacky. But hes done it, deserves credit for it. Hes been super. Last Monday, the Thunder trailed Dallas 91-78 with just over three minutes remaining before closing the game on a 14-0 run Westbrook scored 12 of those points, including the winning 16-footer with 7.2 seconds left in regulation. Two days later in Orlando, Westbrook scored 26 of his 57 points in just the fourth quarter and overtime. The Thunder trailed by 14 points with just over six minutes left in regulation, but he drained a game-tying 3-pointer with 7.1 seconds left to force the extra period, and the Thunder eventually won. OKC Continued From 1BGOLFErnie Els gearing up for what could be his last MastersBy DOUG FERGUSONAssociated PressAUGUSTA, Ga. Ernie Els has memories at every corner of Augusta National, typical of someone who is playing the Masters for the 23rd time. Nothing haunts him as much as the sight of the practice green. Thats where he was in 2004, hopeful of a playoff after closing with a 67, tied for the lead as Phil Mickelson made his way up the last hole to face an 18-foot birdie putt. Els couldnt see the 18th green because of the crowd. All he could do was listen for the outcome. The putt swirled in the cup. Mickelson leapt. The cheer shook the ground. Els scooped up his golf balls and walked away. That was a blow, Els said Monday in a quiet reflection. I didnt play quite good after that. The moment stands out even more this week as the 47-year-old South African returns for what could be his last Masters. Past champions can play for life, and most everyone would have put Els on that list when the Big Easy showed up for the first time in 1994. He won the first of his two U.S. Opens that summer. Two British Open titles followed, the last one in 2012 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, which earned him a five-year exemption to the Masters. That exemption runs out this week. You can put a line on it and say most probably it will be the last one, Els said. Well see, unless we do something down the road. But you know, its been good. Whatever. If I come back again, great. If I dont, its been good. Els is on a list of great players who never won a green jacket. Greg Norman seemed to have chances just about every year for a decade. He sent a shot into the gallery in 1986 for bogey that allowed Jack Nicklaus to win a sixth Masters. A year later, Larry Mize chipped in from 140 feet on the 11th hole to win a sudden-death playoff. Norman famously blew a six-shot lead to Nick Faldo in 1996, and Jose Maria Olazabal beat him in a back-nine duel in 1999. Tom Weiskopf was runner-up four times. David Duval had a chance to win four in a row starting in 1998, when Mark OMeara beat him with a 20-foot birdie on the last hole. Duval last played the Masters seven years ago. Much like Els, Duval wonders how his career at Augusta National would have gone if OMeara had not birdied the last two holes. Would he have won more than once? I think so, Duval said. Because then you know about finishing. But it goes back to the first question. Who knows? Because you still have to do it. Els doesnt quite have the hard-luck history at Augusta National as Norman, Duval or even Ken Venturi before them. His only other real chance to win the Masters was in 2000, when he missed every putt coming down the stretch and was runner-up to Vijay Singh. The only year he didnt qualify was in 2012, and there was an outcry for Augusta National to award him a special invitation, in part because of his stature in the game. Els had been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame two years earlier. Els knows all about expectations, especially at Augusta. And when he still didnt have a Masters trophy after 10 years, it began to wear on him. Nothing was worse than Tuesday night at the Masters, when past champions headed upstairs for dinner in their green jackets. When it didnt happen, it became a bit of struggle, he said. Sure enough, Els never had another top 10 at the Masters after that close call in 2004. Ive heard him talk about it. It frustrated him badly, said Charl Schwartzel, who spent time in Els junior program in South Africa before winning the 2011 Masters. If you dont do it early enough, it becomes a thing. And once something becomes a thing in his game, you fight elements you dont want to be fighting. B6
