David Anthony Cooper, 35, Lake City, Arielle Morgan Koon, 26, Lake City, and Brian Joseph Sheppard, 30, Wellborn, sold 123 grams of what appeared to be methamphetamine to a confidential informant for the Suwannee County Drug Task Force, SCSO stated in a report.

James Tyler Garcia, 23, confessed to multiple sexual encounters with the victim over a period of several weeks, the report states. There is sufficient evidence to believe that the defendants confession was truthful, an SCSO deputy wrote. Investigators executed a search warrant at Garcias house on 137th Lane in Live Oak, finding a large quantity of rifle and shotgun ammunition during the search, which Garcia is prohibited from owning due to being a convicted felon. Garcia was booked into the Suwannee County Jail Allegedly had sex with 14-year-old.

Blood is in short supply everywhere, especially in Lake City, the two LifeSouth employees said as they solicited donors for a blood drive in the WinnDixie parking lot. LifeSouth provides blood to local hospitals, meaning donors could be saving the life of someone they know, Graham said. People should think about that, Graham said. Around 10 a.m. Wednesday, Burress and Graham were still trying to attract their first donor of the day. Its always kind of an issue, Burress said. Hospitals in Lake City sometimes rely on blood collected in cities such as Gainesville, Burress added, but getting enough donors to meet the high demand is a challenge everywhere. Blood is always being used, Burress said. Bloodmobile making the rounds in LC.

pushed the time back as the day went on. CSX Transportation Media Relations Manager Laura Phelps, who did not return repeated phone calls but returned an email, did not respond to questions about what caused the delay in sending a relief crew. CSX apologizes for the inconvenience this may have caused neighbors and we appreciate their patience, Phelps wrote in the email. Phelps said the original crew had to leave the train because they reached their federal limit on work hours. Lake City Fire Department Chief Frank Armijo said the incident did not affect their emergency response. The fire department avoids routes that cross train tracks because they do not want to risk being delayed. In our response procedures, if the emergency is north of the tracks we always take the bridge to go over the railroad, Armijo said. Armijo does not remember anything similar happening during his 33 years with the department, but he was concerned for citizen safety because it wasnt known what was in the trains chemical container tanks. I was a little concerned about it being actual hazardous material, Armijo said. 2A THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 2017 DAILY BRIEFING LAKE CITY REPORTER 7a 1p 7p 1a 6a LAKE CITY ALMANAC SUN MOON UV INDEX EXTREME: 10 minutes to burn T odays ultra-violet radiation risk for the ar ea on a scale fr om 0 to 10+.

After a pursuit exceeding 100 mph on U.S. Highway 441, Columbia County Sheriffs Office deputies arrested James Bradford Kelley, 32, and Annie Melissa Williams, 33, records show. Just after 10:30 Saturday night, a deputy saw a blue Dodge Ram pickup truck driving through a ditch off of U.S. Highway 441 and onto an abandoned property at 14321 S U.S. Highway 441, deputies said. When the deputy requested identification, Williams falsely identified herself as Amber and they explained they were looking at the residence because they were interested in it, deputies said. Kelley sped off south on U.S. Highway 441 while the deputy was checking the information, reports show. Deputies said Kelley lost control of the vehicle several times as the pursuit passed through Ellisville. Officers tried to pin the truck when Kelley struck a tree at the northeast corner of U.S. Highway 441 and County Road 349, but he continued driving on County Road 349. The chase ended when Kelley drove into a ditch on the north side of East County Road 349, deputies said. James was bleeding from the nose and was in a dazed condition, according to reports. Both Kelley and Williams had warrants for drug-related charges out of Georgia, where they live. Records show Kelley had a warrant for possession with intent to distribute meth. In addition to fleeing and eluding charges, Kelley was cited for speeding, failure to maintain and driving with a license expired more than four months. Williams is facing charges for providing a false name to law enforcement along with out-of-county charges for violation of probation for selling amphetamine. Kelley and Williams are being held at Columbia County jail without bond. Kelley Williams discovered to be rock salt, according to the report. Cooper made contact with the confiden tial informant at the Busy Bee gas station in Wellborn, the report stated. Koon was driving the trios vehicle, while Sheppard was a passenger. The informant used marked curren cy provided by the drug task force to purchase an unknown, clear crystal sub stance, according to SCSO. Law enforcement immediately detained Cooper, Koon and Sheppard after the transaction. After interviewing the suspects, SCSO concluded they went to Wal-Mart before the meet-up and bought rock salt. While detained, Sheppard had the opened box of rock salt between his feet on the floorboard, according to the report. Cooper said he wanted to make an easy $900 and that the rock salt in the bag gie was sold as meth, the report states. Cooper, Koon and Sheppard were all booked into the Suwannee County Jail on a charge of conspiracy to traffic in meth. Cooper also faces a charge for sale in lieu of meth. Koon faces additional charges for possession of meth and pos session of drug paraphernalia, according to the report.

The U.S. Geological Survey and Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute study released this week says the popular sea cows enjoy longevity and that enough habitat is available to support a growing population. The news comes after the recent decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to lessen federal protections for the manatee. The report says the manatee population in Florida will still likely grow over the next 50 years, but environmental and habitat changes will probably lessen numbers.Staff reportsState officials look for answers on worsening drug problemsBy JIM TURNERThe News Service of FloridaTALLAHASSEE Facing pressure to address drug overdoses across the state, Gov. Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi rolled out plans this week for a series of work shops and gave support for legislation focused on opi oids and drug abuse. The announcement came as officials from Central and South Florida have been clamoring for a public-health emergency declaration on the raging epidemic. Flanked by law-enforcement officials in the hallway outside their Capitol offices, Scott and Bondi outlined an effort that also includes working with a pair of pharmaceutical compa nies Adapt Pharma and Amphastar to lower the cost of overdose-treatment medicine for first respond ers and local governments. Were hearing from people all over the state with their ideas, Scott said. The goal with this is to try to organize those ideas to see if we can find out exact ly some things we can do to have an impact. Bondi, who has been named to serve on President Donald Trumps Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission, said the crisis is not specific to Florida and no short-term fix is going to help this problem. Sen. Jeff Clemens, a Lake Worth Democrat who watched the press conference on Tuesday, said more immediate solutions are needed. He also questioned why a public-health declaration couldnt be issued, sim ilar to Scotts order last year regarding the mos quito-borne Zika virus or the governors 2011 effort against pill mills. Earlier today, we declared a state of emer gency for wildfires in the state of Florida that have killed exactly zero, Clemens said. I think we need to pay attention to an epidemic that has caused the death of thousands in the past several years. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which said the death rate from syn thetic opioids other than methadone increased 72.2 percent from 2014 to 2015, reported 3,228 deaths by overdose in Florida in 2015, the most recent year for statewide numbers. While not all the deaths were tied to the opioids targeted Tuesday, a year earlier the federal agency posted 2,634 overdose deaths in the state. Officials from Palm Beach and Martin counties have requested the pub lic-health emergency dec laration to heighten aware ness to the situation and to advance state general-revenue money in anticipation of $52 million that Florida is scheduled to receive this fall from the federal gov ernment to combat the epi demic. There are lots of peo ple that are going to die between now and the time DCF (the Department of Children and Families) starts holding these forums in our communi ties, Clemens said. Im excited that two of our Cabinet members are now talking about the problem. But there is so much more that can be done. Bondi said emergen cy declarations regarding Zika, hurricanes and one issued earlier on Tuesday for wildfires, are shortterm situations. This is a national, ongoing, long-term epidemic, thats why were going to tackle this from a national level, Bondi said. Scott has directed Department of Children and Families Secretary Mike Carroll, state Surgeon General Celeste Philip and Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Rick Swearingen to hold a series of workshops to gather input on the crisis from local leaders, law enforcement, health directors, treatment providers and community members. Were going to see what we can learn, Scott said. Scott said workshops will be held in Palm Beach, Manatee, Duval and Orange counties. No time line was given about when recommendations would be made. Were going to get the workshops done as quickly as possible, Scott said. Bondi said there is also an educational component to their effort. Kids dont get it. Twenty-somethings dont get it. A lot of adults dont get it, Bondi said. If you take one of these pills, you could be addicted for life or drop dead, because you dont know what is in them. Bondi and Scott pointed to two pieces of legislation that they are behind. One measure (SB 477) would add the synthetic drugs fentanyl, carfent anil and several others to Floridas drug trafficking statute. The proposal would give state prosecutors the ability to seek stronger sen tences against drug traf fickers selling those drugs. The second measure (SB 788), sponsored in the Senate by Clemens, is intended to regulate sober homes by cracking down on deceptive marketing practices used to attract people to the recovery residences. Bondi said the goal is to close uncertified sober homes. Theyre going around the country marketing themselves as, `Bring your child down here, bring your loved one down here, and were going to cure you, were going to help you, Bondi said. What theyre doing is further addicting them to drugs.Kids dont get it. Twentysomethings dont get it. A lot of adults dont get it. If you take one of these pills, you could be addicted for life or drop dead, because you dont know what is in them. Attorney General Pam Bondi

President Obama talked tough and acted meekly, and his policies were therefore a factor in thousands of people losing their lives, the Syrian refugee crisis, Middle East mayhem generally and U.S. leadership taking a dive worldwide, say such analysts as Robert Kagan of Brookings Institution. Here comes President Donald Trump. He sees a horror on TV and acts decisively, and this much we can be sure of: Syrian dictator Bashar Assad will never again use internationally forbidden chemical weapons on civilians. There are complications beyond that issue, but its nothing to sneer at, and other positives could flow from 59 U.S. Tomahawk missiles striking a Syrian airfield. It was home to the airplanes dropping nerve agents that caused the death and suffering of children. Seeing videos of the atrocities, Trump consulted with a top-notch team and made this cautionary statement heard round the world. On the issue of the nerve gas, Obama once behaved boldly, too, but in words only. His lassitude otherwise said go ahead and do what you want. In 2012, Obama said use of these chemicals by Assad or anyone else in the region would most certainly result in enormous consequences. Dont cross that red line, he warned. But Assad did just that a year later, killing 1,500 civilians 426 children among them. The enormous consequence turned out to be eliciting a faux promise from Syria and Russia that they would work together to destroy the chemicals. Instead, it has been noted, Russia intervened more on behalf of Assad as the WMD sat pretty. Under the umbrella of Obama naivete, a more assertive Iran signed up big time with Assad. China got more aggressive, Russia messed with Ukraine and allies wondered where we were. Think about Obama for a moment, how he came to the White House talking about ending our wars and instead was engaged in war longer than any other president ever. His exit strategies lacked the option of victory, and destabilization became a specialty. He extended our fighting presence geographically and spent $866 billion on military action compared to $811 billion by President George W. Bush, according to Atlantic magazine. Now we come to Trump, an isolationist in his campaign except for pledging more military strength and extermination of radical Islamic terrorism. Note as faults in this Syria strike that no broad strategy is apparent and he acted unconstitutionally in failing to ask Congress for permission. Its still clear that he will never let Assad get away with ignoring one of the relatively few restrictions on war, but what about the dictators continuing use of massacre-style barrel bombs? Will Trump sit by while this continues to transpire, or will he maybe wipe out Assads air force? That could be accomplished minus an all-out military effort to oust Assad, which could be a protracted calamity with no assurance of anything good at the end. What does make sense is pragmatic calculation seen in the Middle East coalition Trump is building with Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in addition to Israel. And an intermediate value of the retaliatory strike in Syria is others just maybe paying more attention to us, North Korea, for instance, and dont forget Iran. The Obama Iran deal was the Syria deal all over again. Clearly eager to build nuclear weapons, Iran had been kept from that venture by 20 years of threats from U.S. presidents. Leaders there then said they would hold off for another decade if we agreed to return billions of dollars plus other treats. As with Syria, there are multiple means by which Iran could evade detection in its transgressions, and reinstituting international sanctions could be nearly impossible until too late. Obama visited us with heightened peril and Trump has taken one small step in a better direction. Iran, North Korea and Russia are indulging in bellicose barking, but at least Obama is no longer empowered to make things worse.

Todd Wilson, Publisher Robert Bridges, Editor Frances Wainwright, Controller Dink NeSmith, President Tom Wood, Chairman Mending Obamas mistakes Friendly skies a thing of the pastFew business seem to be more under the thumb of bean counters than the major U.S. airlines: Seats and leg room shrink, baggage fees are imposed and rudimentary comforts like a bag of peanuts or a beverage are either nonexistent or get you charged. Cattle cars offer more comfort than the typical cross-country flight in economy class. Yet as much as flying the friendly skies already seems a thing of the past, never underestimate the industrys ability to drag its customers around kicking and screaming as thats more or less what happened on a recent United Airlines flight. Youve probably seen the viral video already: A Sunday night flight from Chicago to Louisville, Ky. was overbooked, and the airline had to free up seats on the already-boarded plane to make room for a dead-heading flight crew. Volunteers were sought, vouchers of up to $800 were offered, plus a hotel room with the promise of a Monday afternoon flight. Not enough passengers accepted, and so the airline chose passengers randomly. One of those chosen, David Dao, a Kentucky physician, refused to leave. Eventually, police were summoned and forcefully removed him from the plane with Dr. Dao striking his head in the process, his face bloodied as he was dragged down the aisle to the horror of his fellow passengers. Various versions of the video have been viewed more than 1 million times on YouTube by last count. Twitter and Facebook postings have similarly exploded with this favorite meme an illustration of the two classes on a United domestic flight, first class and Fight Club, a reference to the brutal Brad Pitt movie. To observe this is a bad public relations moment for United CEO Oscar Munoz is like suggesting the RMS Titanic was a setback for ocean travel in 1912. Yet Munoz, who was honored as a communicator of the year last month by PRWeek, seems not to have noticed. After issuing an initial statement calling the incident upsetting and apologizing for having to re-accomodate these customers while vowing a detailed review, he then sent a letter to United employees Monday reassuring them that proper procedures had been followed and that the passenger had been disruptive and belligerent. A more extensive apology was finally issued Tuesday. Dr. Dao, who was convicted of drug offenses more than a decade ago but regained his medical license in 2015, according to the Louisville CourierJournal, might have been ill-mannered, but that doesnt mean he should have been treated like a terrorist. For starters, the airline might simply have offered a bigger bribe (as they were empowered to do), found a volunteer and the standoff might have been avoided altogether. But heres the real problem. Airlines deliberately overbook flights to make sure there are few, if any, empty seats. Long ago, those bean counters figured out it was more profitable to overbook and deal with unhappy customers people who paid for their seats but didnt get to fly by offering vouchers for volunteers. Alas, that doesnt work every time. Records show there are tens of thousands of involuntary bumps from flights. The only extraordinary thing about the Chicago incident was that it took place after boarding, was captured on a cellphone video and, of course, sparked a violent removal by local aviation authorities. That needs to be corrected. Either the airlines become empowered to offer bigger bribes or Congress needs to set stricter standards on involuntary removals from flights. Its particularly galling in this case that it was done to accommodate Uniteds own employees. But thats just part of the airlines public relations problems. Still, we wont hold onto our seat belts expecting reforms. Airlines like United seem pretty accustomed to public ridicule. Why? For most fliers, its all about the cost of a ticket, and carriers indifference to customer service seems not to have had much impact on bottom lines. The fastest growing U.S. carriers like JetBlue, Spirit and Southwest are all about the discounts while legacy airlines like United have seen modest revenue growth in recent years. Until travel customers make their choices based on the quality of their experience and not just ticket prices, the unfriendly skies arent likely to change all that much.

Thats the lesson in Baltimore two years after the death of Freddie Gray, whose death in police custody set off riots and mayhem. Faced with a choice between escalating crime and aggressive policing, the city has spurned the advice of the Trump administration and stuck with a strategy that promises more pain and heartbreak. Last week U.S. District Judge James Bredar approved a consent agreement between the city and the Obama Justice Department, giving a federal monitor wide-ranging supervision of the Baltimore Police Department. The agreement puts conditions on how police deal with criminal suspects and demands additional training for the handling of juveniles, political protesters and the mentally ill. None of this sounds particularly onerous, but it requires cops to tiptoe on eggshells in dealing with those eager to make trouble. Jeff Sessions, the new U.S. attorney general, says he has grave concerns that some provisions of this decree will reduce the lawful powers of the police department and result in a less safe city. Mr. Sessions opened a review of the consent decrees governing policing in the nations cities and asked Judge Bredar to delay implementation of the Baltimore agreement. The judge refused. The case is no longer in a phase where any party is unilaterally entitled to reconsider the terms of the settlement, he said. The parties are bound to each other by their prior agreement. Mr. Sessions is right to be concerned. Since the Gray riots of April 2015, the situation in Baltimore has grown worse. Violent crime was up 22 percent in 2016 and arrests down 45 percent. Homicides climbed 63 percent in 2015 and have remained consistently far above the old normal. In contrast, the FBIs preliminary report for 2016 shows violent crime up 5.3 percent nationwide. A case of police brutality was the ready assumption when the 25-year-old Freddie Gray suffered a fatal neck injury while being taken to a police station after he was arrested for possession of an illegal switchblade. Rioting, looting and burning in poverty-stricken precincts followed. It was one of several outbursts of urban violence that gave momentum to the Black Lives Matter movement that emerged after Barack Obama was elected the nations first black president. Baltimores elected leaders joined community activists in condemning the police for terrorizing citizens. Six Baltimore cops involved in the Gray arrest were themselves arrested and charged with various crimes. All were tried and exonerated. The Obama Justice Department opened an investigation of the department, looking for a pattern of excessive force against black residents. Men and women in blue became wary of a backlash if they appeared too eager to enforce the law. In response to charges of overaggressive policing in cities such as Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo., President Obamas attorneys general opened investigations of police practices. Fifteen jurisdictions nationwide are now supervised by federal monitors, making the police more accountable to Washington than to their local communities. Thugs lurk in the hiding places of Americas inner cities, and the innocent need fair and aggressive law enforcement. The death of Freddie Gray was a tragedy, but more the result of happenstance than malice. Mounting crime in Baltimore demonstrates the consequences of passive policing. The people who live in Charm City deserve better. Washington Times ANOTHER VIEW

An attorney in North Carolinas ongoing academic scandal wants Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey removed as head of the NCAA infractions panel hearing the case because of a conflict of interest. Raleigh attorney Elliot Abrams wrote the NCAA this month saying Sankey has a personal, professional and institutional interest in the outcome of the case involving his client, Deborah Crowder, a retired UNC officer administrator. He compared Sankeys involvement to the Commissioner of the SEC refereeing a championship game between an (Atlantic Coast Conference) team and an SEC team. He also described Sankey as a potential witness regarding a previous case at Auburn during his time as an SEC associate commissioner that had similarities but didnt lead to major violations. In a second letter Tuesday, Abrams stated the third Notice of Allegations outlining charges against Crowder and UNC should be tossed out. He called it the result of inappropriate pressure from a conflicted hearing panel, adding that the entire panel is tainted by Sankeys involvement and should be recused. Abrams provided The Associated Press with copies of both letters. The requests are part of the latest snag in an oft-delayed case featuring five top-level charges first filed nearly two years ago. SEC spokesman Herb Vincent deferred questions Wednesday to the NCAA. NCAA spokeswoman Emily James and UNC spokeswoman Joanne Peters didnt immediately return emails Wednesday afternoon. The academic case is tied to irregularities in the formerly named African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM) department. Most notably, there were independent study-style courses misidentified as lecture classes that didnt meet and required a research paper or two courses featuring significant athlete enrollments and typically offering high grades. The NCAA reopened its investigation in summer 2014 and first charged UNC in a Notice of Allegations (NOA) filed in May 2015. It then revised the charges in a second version last April, and then changed them again in December UNCs response to the charges is on hold as Abrams said he is working to set up an interview for Crowder after she had previously refused to speak with NCAA investigators. Crowder, a former office administrator who graded many of the papers, defended the quality of the irregular courses in a March affidavit. Abrams wrote in Tuesdays letter that a Friday deadline to interview Crowder was arbitrary, saying it essentially ensures she cannot be adequately prepared to respond to specific questions about documents created between one and four decades ago.

The event is hosted annually by the FWC and this year was presented by Halls Firearm Training, LLC of Live Oak. In addition to the 28 participants, there were six certified pistol instructors, and 12 volunteer range safety officers from the FWCs Hunter Safety Education Program in attendance. This training qualifies participants for the Florida Concealed Weapon/Firearm License and also fulfills the live-fire requirement of the Florida Fish and Game Conservation Commissions Hunter Safety Permit. The training lasted approximately five hours and included classroom instruction and live-fire shooting on the firing range with revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. Everyone also enjoyed a delightful meal of grilled chicken, corn-onthe-cob, baked beans, fruit salad, and a tossed salad. They were also given an opportunity to try some mystery meat where they werent told what the mystery meat was until after all who wanted a taste had tried it. This years mystery meat was Australian goat meat.Former Rio mayor probed in Olympic-linked scandalOLYMPICSAssociated PressRIO DE JANEIRO Former Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes, the moving force behind organizing last years Olympics, is being investigated for allegedly accepting at least 15 million reals ($5 million) in payments to facilitate construction projects tied to the games. Paes is one of dozens of top politicians implicated in a sweeping judicial corruption investigation in which construction giant Odebrecht illegally paid billions to help win contracts. Paes name appears in documents published Tuesday by Brazils top court, and could stand trial if the countrys attorney general decides to prosecute. In a statement Wednesday from his spokeswoman, Tereza Fayal, the former mayor strongly denied the allegations made in several plea bargains signed by former and present Odebrecht employees, calling the accusations absurd and untruthful. He vehemently denies that he has accepted bribes to facilitate, or to benefit, the interests of the Odebrecht company, the statement said. Paes stepped in forcefully about two years before the Olympics opened, shortly after International Olympic Committee Vice President John Coates called Rios preparations the worst hed ever seen and woefully behind schedule. The IOC repeatedly credited Paes with speeding up preparations and cutting through red tape. As rumors swirled around Olympic preparations, Paes often challenged reporters to find any corruption in city-hall contracts. Days after the trouble-plagued Olympics ended, Paes and Carlos Nuzman an IOC member and the president of the organizing committee were awarded the Olympic Order by IOC President Thomas Bach. In a statement Wednesday to The Associated Press, the IOC said Paes should be regarded as innocent until proven otherwise. These are allegations which he (Paes) strenuously denies, the IOC said. Odebrecht was involved in building many Olympic-related projects, including several arenas at the Olympic Park in suburban Barra de Tijuca, a subway-line extension, and the renovation of Rios port area. The Supreme Court documents showed Paes received more 11 million reals ($3.5 million) in local bank accounts, and the rest in off-shore accounts. In the statement, Paes said hes never had off-shore accounts. Paes left office on Jan. 1 after a term-limited eight years. He was once viewed as a presidential candidate, hoping to use the Olympics as a springboard. He recently said he hoped to run next year for governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro. He is referred to in the Odebrecht documents as The Little Nervous One. Plea bargains also indicate that irregularities none of them involving Paes were seen in awarding contracts for at least three stadiums for the 2014 World Cup: Sao Paulo, Recife and Brasilia. In the case of the Sao Paulo stadium of Brazilian club Corinthians, plea bargains showed that Vicente Candido, a federal congressman and former official of the Brazilian Football Confederation, appeared to receive 50,000 reals ($16,000) from Odebrecht to help secure public financing. Odebrecht built the stadiums in Sao Paulo and Recife. Brazilian constructor Andrade Gutierrez built the stadium in Brasilia.COURTESYThe 28 participants in the annual FWCs Outdoors Womens Basic Safety Course at Osceola Gun Range with their safety instructors and volunteers on Saturday. removal, Abrams April 4 letter stated he could be a witness to discuss an NCAA investigation at Auburn tied to independent study courses in 2005 and 2006. In that case, the NCAA investigated claims that an Auburn sociology professor was helping football players and other athletes stay eligible through the courses that required little or no classroom time. The NCAA determined in 2008 that Auburn didnt commit academic fraud and found only secondary violations. Abrams wrote he would want to highlight ... the difference between the NCAAs response in this case compared to the Auburn probe. Abrams also sought details of communication between the NCAA and former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein during Wainsteins 2014 investigation of the AFAM irregularities. Crowder cooperated with that probe, which estimated more than 3,100 students were affected between 1993 and 2011, with athletes across numerous sports accounting for roughly half the enrollments.

LAKECITY REPORTER ADVICE & COMICSTHURSDAY, APRIL 13, 2017 3B DEAR ABBY: Could you explain to me why, as a species, men are so blind and stupid? There are millions of smart, funny, sweet, attractive even sexy eligible women to whom men do not give a second glance, or even acknowledge that these wonderful women exist. Then, these clueless guys moan about how they cant find a good woman, cant find love, have a hard time getting sex, etc., when there are scores of potentially awesome partners right under their noses! Why dont men ever grow up? ELIGIBLE LADY IN ALABAMA DEAR ELIGIBLE: Coupling up can be complicated these days, because many variables can come into play. Individuals of both sexes can be addicted to a type they fantasize about, chase the illusion of eternal youth by pursuing unsuitable partners and/or be commitment-phobic. That said, you might have better luck with men if you didnt stereotype them, because some of them are encountering the same problems you are. And believe me, they are mystified, too.DEAR ABBY: I am a 12-year-old girl who has a lot of friends at school, but lately there has been some tension coming from one of them. Belle missed an event that was very important to her. Shes usually easygoing, but since then she hasnt been herself, and its starting to worry some of us. We have tried everything from talking about her favorite topic to trying to write a song for her. Sometimes she acts like herself, but other times she gives me and another friend the silent treatment and the cold shoulder. Is she a friend worth keeping? CONCERNED FRIEND IN ALABAMA DEAR CONCERNED: You wont know whats causing Belle to act the way she is unless you ask her directly. There may be more going on in her life than you are aware of that has nothing to do with you. If shes doing it because shes hurt and you werent at fault, clear the air so she knows it. But understand that the time to be a friend is when somebody needs one. DEAR ABBY: Three years ago, I lost my wife of 32 years. Every month, on the anniversary of her death, I buy flowers for my house to honor her. I am now engaged to a wonderful woman. She understands that I will always grieve for the wife I lost, and she has always shown respect for the way I show my grief. My question is, should I stop buying flowers to honor my first wife once my fiancee and I get married and move into a house of our own? TIME TO MOVE ON IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR TTMO: Im glad you asked. Although the sentiment behind those flowers is beautiful, I do not think it would be appropriate for you to bring flowers for your late wife into the home you will share with your next one.

Smith is mature beyond his years. Great person of character. Competes every day. Hes come into our football family and has just worked. He continues to earn the respect of his peers, teammates and everyone around him with the way he carries himself on a daily basis. Were obviously very excited about it. Smith developed that maturity in the toughest way imaginable. He was 15 years old when his mother, Dorsetta Smith, died of heart complications. Smith said the loss of his mother made him realize he needed to grow up. It was just time to sort of put the childish things aside, really time to get prepared for my future, Smith said. My mom always wanted me to get my degree and be a successful young African-American man. It was time. I had to take the transitional steps. Thats why I wanted to early enroll. It was just time for me to make my path in order to make her proud. Smith has acclimated himself to college life two months before his 18th birthday. One of the few reminders of Smiths youth came recently when he missed a scrimmage to attend his senior prom. His ability to adapt so well doesnt surprise his high school coach, who remembers how the heralded prospect handled all the hoopla that came along with being a prize recruit. Everywhere that we went, it was a red carpet event with people taking pictures and asking for autographs and stuff, said Rusty Bradley, who coached Smith at University School of Jackson (Tennessee). He never let it faze him, just stayed focused on what he was doing. The way that he handled that, Ive seen other guys let all that get to their head, and that was never the case with Trey. While showing the versatility to play either tackle or guard, Smith has performed well enough that he could have a featured role as a freshman. Smith downplays that possibility and notes how much he and incoming freshman offensive lineman Riley Locklear have discovered they still have to learn. If your hand is like 6 inches to the outside or you dont take a proper step forward, youre beat automatically, Smith said. I think its just getting acclimated to that. Although hes about a five-hour drive away from home, Smith says he hasnt gotten homesick. He has benefited from the campus presence of his older sister, Ashley Smith, who is on Tennessees football staff as an executive assistant to the head coach. If I dont see her in the office, shell probably give me a call late at night, Smith said. Smith doesnt need any help in remaining level-headed as he gets accustomed to the occasional stares from classmates. He deals with that kind of attention by relying on the lessons he learned from his mother. Just being (ranked) No. 1 out of high school, obviously theres a lot of heat next to your name, almost like a heat-seeking missile with people coming for you a lot of times in recruiting, Smith said. I know I have to carry myself a little bit differently than the average Joe in regard to how I act.

COLLEGE FOOTBALLFlorida expects QB Trask back in 4 weeks after knee surgery Associated PressGAINESVILLE Florida quarterback Kyle Trask had knee surgery Wednesday and is expected to make a full recovery in four weeks. A redshirt freshman from Manvel, Texas, Trask fell behind projected starter Feleipe Franks during spring practice and was outplayed in the annual Orange & Blue game last week. Working mostly with the second-team offense and against the starting defense, Trask completed 6 of 15 passes for 66 yards, with an interception. The Gators also said linebacker Camrin Knight had right knee surgery Wednesday and will have his left knee operated on next month. The team also said defensive end Jordan Sherit, receiver Rick Wells and tight end Harry Gornto are not on track to be medically cleared in time for fall practice.COURTESYKyle Trask will miss a month of play due to surgery. MLBMLB commissioner urging Indians to scrap Wahoo logo Associated PressCLEVELAND Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred has made his strongest comments on wanting the Cleveland Indians to eradicate their Chief Wahoo logo. Manfred has been in talks with Indians owner Paul Dolan about abolishing the divisive symbol, which has sparked debate for decades. In the past, Manfred has only gone as far as saying he understood why many people find the logo offensive. Now, Manfred appears to be pressuring the Indians, who have reduced Wahoos visibility in recent years, to make more significant changes. MLB spokesman Pat Courtney said in a statement to The Associated Press on Wednesday that league officials are confident about reaching a positive resolution for the game and the club. Thus far, there have been productive discussions with the Cleveland Indians regarding the Commissioners desire to transition away from the Chief Wahoo logo, Courtney said. We have specific steps in an identified process and are making progress. On Tuesday, protesters gathered outside Progressive Field to demonstrate against the teams usage of the red-faced, smiling logo, which has been part of the teams history dating back to the 1940s. The Indians have decreased Chief Wahoos profile, switching their primary logo to a block C several years ago. However, the symbol still appears on some of the sleeves of some of the teams uniforms and caps and the Indians have continued to sell Wahoo merchandise. Some anti-Wahoo protesters want the team to change its nickname as well. We are people, not mascots, not logos, not imagery, said Carla Getz, a member of the Potawatomi Tribe. Getz was one of several dozen peaceful protesters that chanted for change on a plaza outside Tuesdays game. B6
