Vu, 42, pleaded guilty to two counts of second degree murder and two counts of attempted first degree murder. The plea agreement from earlier this month states that Vu faces a maximum punishment of four life sentences without parole. The first three counts carry a minimum mandatory sentence of 25 years. The last attempted murder count carries a minimum mandatory sentence of 20 years. The state will be recommending life imprisonment without parole, according to the plea.

Figures released by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity showed 28,929 county residents employed in March, about 200 more than in February. The labor force, which includes employed workers along with unemployed people who are actively searching for work, also increased with about 40 more people seeking jobs.

Trump tax plan slashes top rateBy STEPHEN OHLEMACHER & JOSH BOAKAssociated PressWASHINGTON President Donald Trump proposed dramatic cuts in corporate and personal taxes Wednesday in an overhaul his administration asserts will spur national economic growth and bring jobs and prosperity to Americas middle class. But his ambitious plan is alarming lawmakers who worry it will balloon federal deficits. The plan would reduce investment and estate taxes, helping the wealthy. But administration officials said several other tax breaks that help well-to-do taxpayers would be eliminated and the plan would largely help the middle class. The White House has yet to spell out how much of a hole the tax cuts could create in the federal budget, maintaining that the resulting economic growth would eliminate the risk of a soaring government deficit if not actually cause the red ink to diminish. The outlined changes to the tax code are the most concrete guidance so far on Trumps vision for spurring job growth and fulfilling his promise to help workers who have been left behind by an increasingly globalized economy.

I would never, ever bet against this presi dent. He will get this done for the American people. Still, the proposal leaves a series of open questions that could affect its impact on taxpayers and the econ omy. The administration wants to reduce the num ber of tax brackets to three from seven, but it has yet to determine the income lev els for people who would be put in each bracket. It also has yet to spell out how the plan would stop wealthier Americans fr om exploiting a lower corporate tax rate to reduce how much they pay And the White House has downplayed the threat that the tax cuts could cause the deficit to surge, pos sibly eroding support for the plan among lawmakers in Trumps own Republican Par ty. Cohn said Trump and his administration recognize they have to be good stew ards of the federal budget. But the plan as it cur rently stands could cause the federal deficit to climb, unless it sparks a massive and lasting wave of growth that most economists say is unlikely. Administration of ficials intend to hash out addition al details with members of the House and Senate in the coming weeks for what would be the first massive rewrite of the U.S. tax code since 1986. We know this is diffi cult, Cohn said. We know what were asking for is a big bite. As Cohn and Tr easury Secretary Steven Mnuchin explained it in an interview, the plan would reduce the number of personal income tax brackets to three from seven: rates of 10 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent. It would double the stan dard deduction for married couples to $24,000, while keeping deductions for charitable giving and mort gage interest payments. The administration plans to provide tax relief for fami lies with child care expenses, too, although the specif ics have yet to be included. On the other hand, the proposal would trim other deductions utilized by wealthier Americans. These would include deductions for state and local tax pay ments, a change that could alienate support from law makers in states such as California and New York with higher state taxes. Its not the federal governments job to be subsi dizing the states, Mnuchin said. The administration has emphasized that the plan is focused on simplifying the tax code and helping mid dle class Americans. The median U.S. household income is slightly above $50,000 annually Still, the proposal could reduce the tax burden for the wealthy by substantial amounts, including by elim inating the catch-all alter native minimum tax, which takes an additional bite out of high-income taxpayers. It would also repeal the estate tax and the 3.8 per cent tax on investment income from Pr esident Barack Obamas health care law. The proposal has yet to be vetted for its pre cise impact on top earners, as several details are still being determined. On the corporate side, the top marginal tax rate would fall from 35 percent to 15 percent. Small businesses that account for their owners personal incomes would see their top tax rate go from 39.6 percent to the pr oposed corporate tax rate of 15 percent.

THURSDAY APRIL 27, 2017 LOCAL LAKE CITY REPORTER 3A Going on vacation?Take the Lake City Reporter with you. Subscribe to our E-edition. Call 755-5445 or fax 752-9400.By JIM TURNERThe News Service of FloridaTALLAHASSEE A heavily lobbied measure that would remove a Depression-era wall separating the sale of liquor and groceries is positioned for a final House vote as soon as today. The House agreed to take up a Senate-approved version of the proposal (SB 106), after years of debate that has pitted the supermarket giant Publix and small liquor stores against retailers Walmart and Target. House sponsor Bryan Avila, R-Hialeah, said the proposal, which would repeal a decadesold state law requiring standalone liquor stores, doesnt make Walmart and Target winners. He said the decision to vote on the Senate measure, which includes a provision regarding convenience stores that was not in the House version, was done in the spirit of cooperation. Walmart and Target lobbyists have argued that repealing the law is needed to meet customers demands and convenience. Instead of going elsewhere to buy liquor, shoppers could buy it in the same stores where they pick up groceries and other items. But more than 100 liquor-store owners and employees, many wearing white T-shirts stating Save Jobs & Small Business Vote No, lined the entryway to the House chamber prior to the session Tuesday. The bill also could affect Publix, which has opened liquor stores in many of the same shopping centers as its supermarkets. Critics pointed to the potential impact of the change on small businesses and the possibility there would be greater access to liquor by minors, either as store employees or shoppers. Rep. Julio Gonzalez, R-Venice, called the proposal decidedly antifree market. Isnt this bill essentially a conduit to allow the large package stores to run amok, to run the small businesses out of the various market places and restrict their ability to find places to conduct their businesses? Gonzalez said. In addition to repealing the separation law, enacted in 1934 as Florida was responding to the end of Prohibition, the measure would prohibit new package stores from being licensed within 1,000 feet of schools; require small bottles, 6.8 ounces or less, to be displayed only behind the counter; and require that checkout clerks under the age of 18 to be supervised by someone 18 or older when alcohol is being purchased. The Senate voted 21-17 last month to approve the proposal sponsored by Sen. Anitere Flores. It also would require retail businesses that sell gas to be 10,000 square feet or larger to receive liquor licenses. The size restriction had been a sticking point when the proposal first reached the House floor last month. But Avila noted that a number of senators expressed concern about the potential for liquor stores appearing on neighborhood street-corners. For all intents and purposes I have not seen a gas station, other than the Busy Bee, that is more than 10,000-square-feet, Avila said. Rep. Scott Plakon, R-Longwood, and Rep. Al Jacquet, D-Lantana, failed to convince House members to approve a series of amendments that Avila said were intended to kill the bill. One of Plakons proposals, for example, would have prohibited package stores holding liquor licenses from employing anyone under age 21. For the first time, tens of thousands of young people, without this amendment, will be in close proximity to hard liquor, Plakon said of his amendment, which failed in a 70-48 vote. By taking up the Senate version, and not making any changes, approval by the House would send the bill to Gov. Rick Scott rather than having the bill bounce back to the Senate.State House aims to take down liquor wall Proposal would also prohibit new package stores near schools Gonzalez COURTESYMusician stops by Kiwanis meetingBanjo player Skip Johns made an appearance at Tuesdays Kiwanis Club of Lake City meeting. He is pictured with, from left: Third Judicial Circuit Judge Mark E. Feagle; former Columbia County Attorney Marlin Feagle; retired Third Judicial Circuit Judge E. Vernon Douglas; and Third Judicial Circuit Judge Wesley R. Douglas. Conservative caucus backs health bill; fate uncertain Associated PressWASHINGTON The conservative House Freedom   Caucus announced its support W ednesday for a newly revised GOP health care bill, a month after the groups opposition forced Republican leaders to pull the legislation in an embarrassing retreat. The groups support, while significant, does not necessarily guarantee passage of the Republican bill to partially repeal and replace former President Barack Obamas Affordable Care Act. A group of moderate Republicans was still reviewing the changes to the bill, and an unknown number remained opposed. The developments came days ahead of the 100-day mark of Donald Trumps presidency, as the White House pushes for fast action to revive the stalled health care measure and make good on seven years of GOP promises to get rid of Obamacare and replace it with something better. The proposed changes would let states get federal waivers to some coverage requirements Obamas law imposed on insurers. The revisions were authored in part by Rep. Tom MacArthur of New Jersey, a leader of the Tuesday Group of House moderates, but a number of other members of the group feared the result could be to weaken important protections. Underscoring centrists concerns, another Tuesday Group leader Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa. opposes the proposed changes and said he was unaware of any moderate opponents of the health care bill switching to become supporters. Dent suggested that the changes were simply an exercise in blame-shifting by conservatives because the health legislation would be gutted in the Senate. Many GOP senators oppose the Housewritten bill and its future should it reach that chamber is bleak. Another nagging issue was the revelation that the legislation would allow members of Congress and their staffs to continue to receive certain benefits under the health law even if their state opted out from federal requirements.

Congress returned from another half-month vacation this week to confront a national job-approval rating wallowing in the low double digits. Hard to understand why its that high. Both the Republican and Democratic parties have slipped into their own brand of do-nothing dysfunction. With the dearth or death of political moderates on Capitol Hill, each political party has strutted into its own distant ideological corner to utter daily talking points in order to rally its fervent faithful to no end whatsoever, fundraising aside. This may have been understandable when Congress and the executive branch were controlled by separate parties with no incentive to get together and (whispering) compromise to earn their salaries of 172 grand a year. For nearly a decade now voters across the country have been edging toward giving Republicans the ignition keys to virtually everything 33 governor offices, two-thirds of state legislative chambers, both houses of Congress and now the White House. Under President Barack Obamas me-first leadership, his party lost nearly 1,000 local seats. Understandably, impatient voters have an expectation that now, finally, some changes will get done in D.C. to fix health care, cut waste, reduce regulations, spur the economy, restore the military, overhaul taxes and heres a novel idea pass an actual budget with an eye beyond, say, the next 180 days. Yes, the Senate did confirm a Supreme Court nominee to end a yearlong vacancy. But only after weeks of kabuki-like partisan maneuvering that forced GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to kill an arcane rule requiring 60 yea votes. Good riddance! And health care? For years Republicans jabbered about repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. They had some three dozen pro forma House votes to do just that. Now they have a GOP president with a pen who ran on the same thing. But they couldnt do it. With minority Democrats watching in delight, a watered-down Republican R&R plan ran aground on its own members ideological rifts, even with intense presidential coaxing. Turns out, the majority party is really a collection of stubborn factions putting professed principles over actual governing. Not the lasting image of a GOP action plan promised last year. Nor one that can endure long. Now we are led to believe a new repeal plan is almost ready. Its just not quite all written down yet. Yeah, right. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. Oh, and a government shutdown looms at months end unless, first, Republicans and then perhaps some Democrats can agree on what should be in the budget. Realize, this plan is just good through September. Then, the theater, the posturing, the principled pontificating begin again. Tax changes that could goose an economy that appears to be sputtering again? Well, folks, that reveals similar ideological rifts within Lincolns party. Oh, and its tax cuts were built upon savings from the Obamacare repeal that didnt happen yet. Maybe next year. At least we can agree on national defense, which protects everyone, right? Uh, no. Some Republicans dont think the proposed spending hike is large enough. Democrats want a matching hike in domestic spending. Meanwhile, too much military equipment is grounded for unaffordable spare parts. Good thing there are no brewing foreign crises that might require a military defense. Speaking of Democrats, their congressional leadership consists of shortsighted septuagenarians from the coasts. Their state-level political farm teams in the heartland have been devastated by Republican successes. If those are not overturned in next years midterms, the GOP will again control redistricting after the 2020 census. The Dems current hero is Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a socialist who denounces the wealthy while owning three homes and isnt even a Democrat. On a so-called unity tour this month with party chairs, Sanders reminded crowds of that. He was cheered. Democratic Party Chairman Tom Perez was booed. Deputy Chairman Rep. Keith Ellison blamed Novembers upset loss partly on Obama. In some respects, political parties reflect their constituencies. Theres no doubt American society is riven too with numerous fractures. But no one forced these politicians to run. They volunteered for leadership. The hope is that their collective efforts, fueled by wisdom, a dollop of courage and compromise, lead to a roughly united 50 states of America. A democracy like ours requires a chief executive with vision and leadership and two functioning political parties to compete, to push, to challenge and to balance the other with energy and better ideas. We dont have that now.

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, ChairmanIt can be maddening to watch the Florida Legislature waste so much time and energy bickering over issues like the sliver of the state budget dedicated to economic development when more fundamental and far-reaching concerns deserve more attention. But legislators, to their credit, are on the verge of taking action on a problem that has been festering for years: a glut of standardized testing in public schools. Testing has been a cornerstone in Floridas system of holding students, teachers and schools accountable for results. It has helped drive improvements in academic performance, especially for minority and low-income students. Its an essential tool for gauging how students compare with their counterparts in other states and other countries. But students, parents, teachers and administrators have long complained about the sheer number of tests 3.6 million statewide last year and the hours in the classroom that are dedicated to preparing for them and taking them. Seminole County Superintendent Walt Griffin succinctly summed up the problem earlier this year: We are spending way too much time testing. This year the school testing window began in late February and ends in mid-May a schedule that forces cramming in the middle of the school year, then leaves what many teachers consider dead time between the last test and the end of the year. Students in third grade through high school take the language arts and math exams that make up the Florida Standards Assessments, and many also take standardized science and social studies tests. Most tests are taken online, which takes schools weeks longer to administer because computers are limited. Test results are often delayed, depriving teachers of beneficial information they could use to adjust their lesson plans. Parents get frustrated by scores they often find difficult to interpret. A Senate bill that cleared its final committee hurdle this past week would address these problems without abandoning testing and accountability. It has been widely backed by school superintendents, school board members, teachers and parent advocacy groups. Sponsored by Sen. Anitere Flores, a Miami Republican, the bill would push language arts and math exams to the last three weeks of the school year. It would require results on district tests to be delivered within a week to teachers. It would require the scores on statewide tests to be provided to both teachers and parents in an easy-to-read and understandable format. The Senate bill also would pare back the number of tests by eliminating some end-of-course exams. It would allow students who do well enough on national tests to forgo some state exams. It would call for a study of replacing statewide tests with national exams. And it would give districts the flexibility they deserve to choose between computer and paper-and-pencil testing. A testing bill moving through the House began as less ambitious. It moved the testing window and called for studying the possibility of using national exams, but didnt drop any tests. However, it was amended last week in committee to incorporate more of the Senate bills provisions. There is now enough overlap between the two chambers to expect them to agree to a compromise that will become law. Florida schools would be better off if legislators end up closer to the Senates position. There is a risk, however, that unrelated and contentious provisions added in committee to the Senate bill could throw a wrench into negotiations between the two chambers. Legislators would be foolish to let those issues prevent an overdue overhaul of the states testing system. Missing in Congress: Courage Government shutdown bad all aroundThe looming threat of a U.S. government shutdown and temporary layoffs starting on Saturday has lessened with the Trump White House no longer insisting that border wall funding be part of legislation Congress must pass to extend authority for federal spending beyond Friday. Passage of a short-term budget resolution funding the government through Sept. 30 seems likely before the weekend. Good. For months, President Trump and some of his top aides inexplicably believed that Republicans who control Washington could use fear of a government shutdown to leverage concessions from Democrats instead of grasping that such a shutdown would be blamed on the party in power. But the reality is this: Lawmakers in any party who try to engineer shutdowns are behaving like juveniles, not demonstrating fiscal prudence or responsibility. Past shutdowns have accomplished nothing beyond inconveniencing millions of Americans who rely on federal services. Yes, the federal government faces an immense long-term fiscal nightmare unless it controls spending. But while Republicans have long depicted themselves as worried about all this red ink, the fact is both parties have supported vast new spending on wars, additional entitlements and more and both bear vast responsibility for this history of profligacy. Whether Republicans or Democrats split power or had unified control of Washington, the nation has run budget deficits for all but a handful of years since 1975. Whats needed is bipartisan resolve to stop passing kick-the-bucketdown-the-road budgets not empty stunts like shutting down the government. Such resolve is hard to find. Yet the aging of the population is going to balloon the costs of Social Security and Medicare as the United States enters an era in which there is a 2 to 1 ratio between taxpayers and recipients of those retirement benefits. Based on Americas present spending and revenue practices, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that interest on the national debt will go from the present $270 billion a year (about 7 percent of the total federal budget) to $712 billion in 2026 and, moreover, will be the third largest category of spending by 2028, after Social Security and Medicare, and the largest by 2050. While the Trump administrations proposed budget includes some domestic spending cuts, it also calls for substantially more military spending and would add nearly a half-trillion dollars to the U.S. national debt of $19.8 trillion. It is not remotely the debt-slashing budget Trump promised as a candidate. Instead, it is just the latest example of Uncle Sam getting out the credit card rather than making tough decisions and thus making a huge problem even worse. Endlessly relying on debt is no way to run a household or a business. Its also no way to run a country.

The show will feature more than 100 judged quilts by more than 70 quilters. Vendors, raffle prizes, vignettes and many handmade creations will be at the show. As an added bonus, a display of vintage quilts will highlight the work of talented quilters of yesteryear. The hours for the show are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 6 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 7 at Best Western Gateway Grand, 4200 NW 97th Blvd., Gainesville. Admission is $7 for adults (children 12 and younger are free). Attendees will also be able to shop at the Quiltique booth, which will contain the guilds own handmade items, including a wide variety of quilted items, quilting supplies and other handcrafted items. The Quilt Show is not just for quilters, said Helen Gyllstrom, chairwoman of the show. Its also for people who enjoy the arts and seeing how quilting has evolved. Funds raised from the quilt show will support the guilds continuing efforts to provide quilted items to various charities, such as the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at UF Health, Catholic Charities, Ronald McDonald House and Peaceful Paths. Our purpose is to preserve the heritage of quilting by being a source of information, education and inspiration by perpetuating a high quality of excellence in quilting and related arts, and by providing a gathering place for people with this common interest, said Tree City Quilters Guild President Gwen Lombard. Quilting over the past 15 years has not only become a more popular creative outlet, but it also now reflects the diversity of our culture by embracing traditional, modern and art quilts made from materials reflecting at least 20 genres. Our biennial show not only allows us to showcase the talents of our members, but it serves as an education in a long, endearing American art form. This week, to commemorate the importation of the quilt show, the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners proclaimed May 6 and 7 as Celebration of Tree City Quilters Guild Week in Alachua County.

Jonathan Demme, oscarwinning director, diesNEW YORK Jonathan Demme, the eclectic, ever-enthusiastic filmmaker behind the Oscar winners The Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia, and the director of one of the most seminal concert films ever made, the Talking Heads Stop Making Sense, has died. He was 73. Demmes publicist, Annalee Paulo, said Demme died Wednesday morning in his New York apartment, surrounded by his wife, Joanna, and three children. Demme died from complications from esophageal cancer, she said. Demme broke into moviemaking under the B-movie master Roger Corman in the early 1970s. The Silence of the Lambs, the 1991 thriller starring Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter and Jodie Foster as an FBI analyst, brought him a new level of fame. The film earned him a directing Oscar, as well as best picture. The Silence of the Lambs, however, was an outlier in his filmography, which was scattered across comedy, drama and music. His screwball comedy Something Wild starred Jeff Bridges and Melanie Griffith. The 1993 film Philadelphia, with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, was one of the first major Hollywood films to confront the AIDS crisis.Associated Press HYDRANEAS!

House revamps its trauma care limit legislationBy JIM SAUNDERSThe News Service of FloridaTALLAHASSEE A key House committee has scaled back a plan that would have eliminated a limit on the number of trauma centers in the state but the panel sought to ensure that a dis puted Jacksonville-area trauma center can keep its doors open. The House Health & Human Services Committee r evamped a bill (HB 1077) that originally would have eliminated a limit of 44 trauma centers statewide and gotten rid of limits in 19 dif ferent geographic regions. The proposal, backed by Gov Rick Scott, emerged after years of hospital-indus try fights about new trauma centers. The revised bill would keep in place the 44-cen ter statewide cap, though it wou ld set new criteria for the numbers of trauma facilities in seven metropolitan regions. Under that criteria, what are known as trauma ser vice areas with populations of more than 1.25 million people would be determined to have a need for a mini mum of two trauma centers. A trauma ser vice area with a population of more than 2.5 million currently only an area made up of MiamiDade and Monroe counties would be determined to have a need for a minimum of four trauma centers. Much of the discussion this week has focused on a long-disputed trauma center at Orange Park Medical Center in Clay County. The Florida Depar tment of Health last year allowed the Orange Park hospital to open a trauma center, but the move was challenged by UF Health Jacksonville, which has long operated a trauma facility in neighboring Duval County. Administrative Law Judge W. David Watkins in January ruled that the Department of Health had improperly allowed the Orange Park trau ma center to open, though the judge did not have the power to force the facility to close. Watkins sent the case back to the Department of Health, where it remains pending. Watkins wrote that cur rent requirements place a limit of one trauma center in a five-county Northeast Florida trauma-ser vice area that includes Clay and Duval counties. The House bill, as revised, would determine a need for a minimum of two trauma centers in the region, which also includes Baker, Nassau and St. Johns counties. That change effectively would ensure that the Orange Park trauma center would remain open. Steve Ecenia, an attorney for the HCA health-care company, which includes Orange Park Medical Center, told the House panel that the trauma facility has cared for about 1,500 patients during the past year. Its not a small-volume center, and it certainly under scores the fact that there is a desperate need for more than one trauma center to serve this big geographic ar ea that spans from Baker County (to) Nassau County to the north, all the way down to St. Johns County, Ecenia said. This bill would clearly recognize that in that com munity, there is a need for two trauma centers, just like there is in all of the other big urban areas of the state. But Mark Delegal, an attorney for the Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida, which includes UF Health Jacksonville, argued against the revamped bill. The alliance, which includes teach ing, public and childrens hospitals, also lobbied against the original version that would have eliminated the limits. The House Health & Human Ser vices Committee, which voted 14-4 to approve the revised bill, is chaired by Orange Park Republican Travis Cummings. A Senate trauma-care bill (SB 746), however, has not been heard in committees. Faulkner cuts up cake to give out to attendees at the 10-year anniversary open house of Columbia County Senior Services Lake City Lifestyle Enrichment Center on 628 Southeast Allison Court.

For Demetric Jackson, Fort White High School head football coach, the ones that get him excited are seeing his football players making plays or hearing his assistant coaches yell, Coach, looks like this guy wants to play. Tuesday afternoon Jacksons senses were overwhelmed with both the sights and sounds of a successful spring practice. The teams looks better than I thought, Jackson said, giving an assessment after the first two days of spring practice for the varsity and junior varsity squads. Weve got to bring in a new quarterback and all our skill guys are new, from wide receivers and the defensive backfield. Jackson said the team has some young guys that are going to be promising, but theyve got a lot of work that needs to get done. Im pleased with their effort and desire to get better, he said. Most of the athletes returned to the gridiron in exceptional shape for spring football, Jackson said, noting they were able to keep in shape through other sports and weight training. He said the team doesnt have its full complement of athletes yet because some players are still participating in track and baseball.TONY BRITT/Lake City ReporterFort White head football coach Demetric Jackson watches players as they run sprints during spring drills Tuesday afternoon.

MLBINDIANS continued on 6BBy ERIC JACKSONejackson@lakecityreporter.comMIDDLEBURG The District 3-7A tournament couldnt have come any sooner for the eager Lady Tigers, who looked beyond ready in their first postseason appearance. After dominating Middleburg in last months meeting, Cris Deona Beasley returned to the mound where she again was rarely challenged by opposing batters. The standout sophomore pitcher surrendered only two hits in Tuesdays semifinal round matchup. Beasleys shutout performance, along with superb defensive play, was enough to cruise past Middleburg, 6-0, and advance to tonights district championship game. They had each others back, Columbia coach Trudy Andrews said after the win. Theyre so confident defensively and Cris did a great job pitching [and] really owned it. Beasley retired seven of her first eight batters faced and finished with five strikeouts. She came out and showed she wanted to be here, Andrews said. After Kamdyn Kvistads first inning solo shot, Columbia first baseman Dara Gaylard recorded a two-run homer in the fourth. Outfielder Caroline Lewis extended the lead with a sixth inning RBIsingle. Columbia third baseman Alaina Perry put the game out of reach on the ensuing CHS continued on 6BJeter, Bush look to buy MarlinsBy STEVEN WINEAssociated PressMIAMI Derek Jeter and Jeb Bush still havent touched all the bases in their bid to buy the Miami Marlins. Far from it. Multiple groups have submitted bids to buy the team, and none has yet been accepted, baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday. His comments came after Bloomberg reported a group led by former New York Yankees captain Jeter and former Florida Gov. Bush won an auction for the team with a $1.3 billion bid. There are multiple groups interested in acquiring the Marlins, Manfred said in Pittsburgh while attending the Pirates-Cubs game. One of those groups is the Bush-Jeter group. When we have a resolution as to which bid is going to be accepted, we will announce that. Completion of any sale by Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria could take months and would require approval by at least 75 percent of the major league teams. More than half of the winning bid could involve cash because of MLBs debt service rule, meaning the Bush-Jeter group would need to raise a lot of money. You can rest assured that the acquiring group, whoever it turns out to be, will have a financial structure meaning some debt and the rest equity that is consistent with the rules that we have, most notably the debt service rule, Manfred said. And more important than complying with the rules, (that) puts the franchise in a position that it can operate effectively. Thats really the commissioners offices job in terms of approving any potential bidding group, and we are really focused on that issue with respect to the Marlins. The debt service rule NFLAttorney: Hernandez hinted at his suicide weeks before death By PHILIP MARCELOAssociated PressBOSTON Aaron Hernandez hinted about suicide weeks before he was found hanging by a bedsheet in prison last week, according to a jailhouse friend who once sought to share a cell with the former NFL star. Lawrence Army Jr., an attorney for inmate Kyle Kennedy, said Wednesday that Hernandez told his client: I think Im going to hang it up. Army said Hernandez made the remark in March, during his trial in the killings of two men in Boston in 2012. He was acquitted in the case five days before his suicide. Kennedy, a 22-year-old serving an armed robbery sentence, didnt take the comments seriously at the time, Army said. Hernandez had been serving life without the possibility of parole for a third murder the 2013 shooting death of Odin Lloyd, a Boston man who had been dating the sister of Hernandezs fiancee. He killed himself April 19, and funeral services were held Monday in his hometown of Bristol, Connecticut. Army said Kennedy, of Uxbridge, was stunned and saddened by his close friends death. He said Kennedy and Hernandez were acquainted before prison. In September 2016, the two had even requested to be cellmates, Army said.

Attorney: Officials denied Hernandezs request for cellmate BOSTON (AP) A jailhouse friend of Aaron Hernandez says prison officials denied the former NFL stars request for a cellmate months before he hanged himself. David Wedge, a spokesman for Kyle Kennedys attorney, said Wednesday the two inmates at the maximum security prison in Shirley, Massachusetts, had asked to be cellmates last September. He said the request initially was approved but then denied. Wedge didnt say why the request was denied, and prison officials didnt imme diately comment. Kennedys attorney, Lawrence Army Jr., is speaking Wednesday about how the two inmates were connected. Army has claimed one of three suicide notes Hernandez left in his cell before killing himself last week was addressed to Kennedy. Hes requested the note be turned over to this client. Hernandezs lawyer says no such note exists. Stockholm drops bid for 2026 Winter Olympics STOCKHOLM (AP) The city of Stockholm wont bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Stockholm Mayor Karin Wanngard, the city official in charge of finances, said Wednesday that the decision was made because the International Olympic Committee will not immediately be able to report how big the financial contribution to the host city will be. She said the figures will arrive at the earliest in November. This means that time will be too short to get enough analysis for the issues raised by several actors, said the Swedish lawmaker, whose Social Democratic Party had been supportive of hosting the event. We Social Democrats have always thought that the Olympic Games are important for Stockholms growth and development, Wanngard said in a state ment, adding there was little backing for the event. Unfortunately, we are alone to have this position about the Olympic Games.

R Guerrilla Billions With or Without You Dark Net (N) Penn & TellerGigolos Dark Net NFLAP source: Raiders agree to deal with Beast ModeBy JOSH DUBOWAssociated PressALAMEDA, Calif. The Oakland Raiders have agreed to a two-year contract to bring running back Marshawn Lynch out of retirement. A person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press that the sides have agreed on the terms pending a physical for Lynch on Wednesday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract has not been finalized. NFL Network first reported the deal. Once Lynch passes the physical, the Raiders will need to acquire his rights in a trade with Seattle. Thats expected to be mostly a formality because the Seahawks dont want to pay Lynch the $9 million he would be owed when he comes out of retirement. The teams are expected to swap late-round draft picks in 2018. Lynch also must apply to the NFL for reinstatement from the retired list before he can play with the Raiders. NFL Network said Lynch would get a $3 million base deal this season, with a chance to make an additional $2 million if he rushes for at least 1,000 yards. Lynch retired following the 2015 season but decided he wanted to come back and play with his hometown team. The Raiders met with him early this month to gauge his interest and wanted to get a deal done before the draft. The Raiders have a need for a power running back after losing Latavius Murray in free agency. Second-year backs Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington are both smaller backs and are not as suited to short-yardage and goal-line situations. Marshawn is one of the best running backs Ive ever played against in my short career so far, Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack said last week. It would be a great, great, great treat to have him on this side, on the dark side. Lynch was perhaps the best power back in the league before he retired. He had double digits in touchdown runs every season from 2011 to 2014, and his 51 TDs on the ground are the most in the NFL since 2011 despite playing just seven games in 2015 and being retired last season. The 31-year-old Lynch averaged 3.8 yards per carry in his limited action in 2015 before retiring. Before that, he was one of the games top running backs, with more than 1,200 yards rushing in each of the previous four seasons. I think hes the most physical guy Ive played against, Mack said. I remember playing against him, I believe, my second season. They ran a power right at me. I remember that play. Youre talking about one of the most physical guys Ive played against, running backwise. His production in Oakland should be helped by running behind a line that had three Pro Bowlers last season in left tackle Donald Penn, left guard Kelechi Osemele and center Rodney Hudson. In his final year with the Seahawks, Lynch averaged just 1.1 yards per carry before contact, the lowest for any back with at least 100 carries, according to Pro Football Focus. For his career, Lynch has rushed for 9,112 yards and 74 touchdowns. Lynch was born and raised in Oakland and played college ball nearby at California. He still has strong ties to the area through his Beast Mode company and would be a welcome addition for a fan base still stung by the teams move to Las Vegas for the 2020 season. because of the size difference between the two men. A prison spokesman declined to comment on the decision. Army said Kennedy also is entitled to see one of three handwritten notes the former New England Patriots tight end left when he died because Kennedy believes it was intended for him. Hernandezs lawyer has said no note was left to any inmate. Prison officials havent commented on the notes, which were turned over to Hernandezs family. Kennedy also is seeking a $47,000, custom-made watch that he says Hernandez verbally gifted to him on his birthday last summer, his lawyer said. Meanwhile, the SouzaBaranowski prison remains on lockdown with inmates not allowed to leave their cells and visiting hours canceled. State Department of Corrections spokesman Christopher Fallon confirmed the lockdown has been in place since Monday and will remain in effect while officials search for drugs and other contraband. In other developments, a Massachusetts judge scheduled arguments on a request to vacate Hernandezs conviction in the Lloyd case. Judge E. Susan Garsh announced Wednesday that shell hold a May 9 hearing in Fall River. On Tuesday, Hernandezs lawyers asked that his first-degree murder conviction be dismissed. The Bristol County district attorneys office, which prosecuted the case, has said it intends to challenge the request. It has until May 1 to file papers making its case. Under a long-standing Massachusetts legal principle, courts customarily vacate the convictions of defendants who die before their appeals are heard. AARON Continued From 1Bwhose older brother is an adviser to President Donald Trump, had a preliminary agreement to buy the team for $1.6 billion before breaking off negotiations. Bushs group includes his 33-year-old son, Jeb Jr., who has worked in politics and real estate. The Bushes and Jeter initially had competing interests in efforts to buy the team before joining forces. Spokesmen for Jeter and Bush had no comment. Marlins manager Don Mattingly who was Jeters teammate and coach with the Yankees declined to discuss the possibility of them joining forces in Miami. Nobody in the front office has told me anything about it, Mattingly said. Its premature for me to talk about it. Jeter, a 14-time AllStar who retired in 2014 after 20 seasons with the Yankees, has long talked about owning a franchise. Jeter, 42, lives in Tampa and is expected to take an active role in operations of the team. Jeb Bush, 64, served two terms as governor from 1999-2007. He was an unsuccessful candidate last year for the Republican nomination for president, and since the November election he has been working for a Florida law firm. His brother, former President George W. Bush, was controlling owner of the Texas Rangers from 1989 until he became governor of Texas in 1995. Sale of the Marlins would be widely applauded in South Florida, where Loria has become unpopular because of his tight budgets, payroll purges and a financing agreement for 5-year-old Marlins Park widely viewed as unfair to taxpayers. It has been eight years since the Marlins had a winning season, and despite a new ballpark, theyve finished last in the National League in attendance 11 of the past 12 years. Loria, 76, bought the Marlins for $158.5 million in 2002 from John Henry, part of the Boston Red Sox ownership group that has celebrated three World Series titles. The Marlins won the World Series in 2003 but havent been to the postseason since, the longest current drought in the NL. MARLINSContinued From 1B B2

LAKE CITY REPORTER ADVICE & COMICS THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 2017 3B DEAR ABBY: Im writing because I see a lot of bullying going on at school. One of the bullies is a friend of mine and Ive asked her to stop, but she doesnt listen. How I can get through to her so she understands that shes hurting someones feelings? She treats people like they dont have feelings, like they are non-human. NOT A BULLY IN INDIANA DEAR NOT A BULL Y: People bully others for a variety of reasons. Among them, because they are angry and enjoy taking it out on others, because they themselves have been bullied, because it gives them a sense of power, or simply because they enjoy it. Not knowing your friend, I cant guess whats driving her behavior. I suggest that you ask her what her reason is and after you hear her answer, you r e-evaluate whether to distance yourself from her because, with bullies, the target can change and no one is safe. DEAR ABBY: W e set limits on our sons screen time at home. My motherin-law lets him have quite a bit more screen time when he visits her. My husband thinks grandparents should have the right to determine everything about how they treat and care for their grandchildren. What do you think? MOTHER IN BOULDER, COLO. DEAR MOTHER: I think grandparents should respect the rules that parents set for their children because there ar e usually good r easons for them. I also think that for your in-laws to ignore your wishes as they have been doing is disrespectful, and your husband should consider that before concluding that his par ents have the right to ignore them. DEAR ABBY: A couple of months ago my husband and I r eceived a very nice save the date for a wedding in August in a town nearby. There wer e many nice photos of the engaged couple on the card. The problem is, we have no idea who they are. We called our families to ask if they had received one too, thinking maybe it was a long-lost relative. I even went so far as checking social media, thinking we might have friends in common, but we dont. Im hoping the actual invitation may offer mor e clues, but I dont think it will. While this was clearly addr essed to us, my fear is that it was intended for someone else who may not be saving the date and it may cause some tension within their family. What would be proper when the invitation arrives? Do I check will not attend and send it back, or should I include a note? SAVE THE DATE IN WISCONSIN DEAR SAVE THE DATE: You are a nice person. A simple regret that we cannot attend should be sufficient and by all means include the note. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069 Abigail Van Burenwww.dearabby.com Classmate wont stop bullying despite pleas from her friend DILBERT BABY BLUES BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY B.C.

Not disclosing information will lead to problems that could make it difficult for you to move forward. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A partnership can take on a double meaning.

6B THURSDAY APRIL 27, 2017 SPORTS LAKE CITY REPORTER at-bat when she drove in the squads fifth and sixth run. The semifinal victory also solidifies the Lady Tigers regional spot, which will be played next week. Weve talked about building blocks and stepping stones, Andrews added. Everybody has a zero-zero record right now. What weve done before, weve learned from it so now it all matters what we do from here. After ending the Lady Broncos season, only one team stands between Lady Tigers and a district title the rival Lady Hurricanes. Gainesville defeated Vanguard 10-0 in Tuesdays semifinal round and will face Columbia again for the league crown. Columbia aims for some championship revenge after Gainesville won last years meeting en route to a state title. The Lady Hurricanes (22-4) also bounced the Lady Tigers (16-9) out of the playoffs last season. Columbia though hopes for a different turn of events this time around. I always love playing Gainesville, Kvistad said. Theyre a very good, competitive team and always give us a run for our money. I think thats what we need at this point of the season. Better the competition, the better well play in the long run. Im excited. Columbia and Gainesville square off in Middleburg at 7 p.m. tonight. We got to play every game like its our last, Kvistad said. This is what weve worked for all year.ERIC JACKSON/Lake City ReporterColumbia softball players welcome first baseman Dara Gaylard at home plate after her two-run home run. Gaylard and Kvistad both went yard in the 6-0 semifinal win. The Lady Tigers face the Gainesville Lady Hurricanes in tonights District 3-7A tournament championship. CHSContinued From 1BERIC JACKSON/Lake City ReporterColumbia catcher Kamdyn Kvistad swings against Middleburg on Tuesday night. Kvistad was 2 for 2 at the plate. For the most part, most of the guys are in shape, he said. The Indians spring workouts consist of taking parts in a variety of drills, conditioning work and working on fundamentals from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday for four weeks. Fort White High School will have its annual Red and Black game on May 12 and the Spring Game will take place May 19. The game will be in Fort White as the Indians will play North Florida Educational Institute of Jacksonville. This marks the second year the school has had football. They were looking for a spring game and were willing to come to us, so were going to play them, Jackson said. Most coaches use spring practices to focus on fundamentals and Jackson is also taking advantage of the early opportunity to have his players hone their skills. Were just emphasizing the basics right now, Jackson said. Sometimes we overlook starting in our stance foot placement or hand placement, coming off the ball full speed or under control, depending on what the situation is, and we spend a lot of time on alignment and adjustments. Well spend a lot of time, particularly this first week, on a lot of that. We also show a lot of formations offensively and right now thats where we are kind of behind because we have so many young guys. We spend a lot time doing that, making sure we know all of our formations. The Indians do not have any players coming back from major injuries during the spring season. Jacquez Pelham, a running back who had knee issues during the regular season, is expected to perform without the residual affects from the knee problems that hobbled him last fall. Fort White made its ways into the playoffs last season behind senior quarterback Demetric DJ Jackson Jr., but this year the team will have a new signal caller at the helm. Three players are vying for the starting quarterback position as the spring practice heats-up. Its a battle, Jackson said. We have three guys battling for it. One of the guys, Logan Alltop, who was our backup quarterback last year, unfortunately hes in baseball right now and hes going to stay out in baseball until their playoff hopes and aspirations are over with. Brian Scott transferred back to Fort White High School, and hes also looking to be the signal caller for the Indians. Scott played junior varsity football at Fort White before transferring to Columbia High School, but now hes back with the Indians. Hunter Morgan, who transferred from Hamilton County High School, is also taking snaps at the Fort White quarterback position. All three guys are experienced guys who have played some, but theyre all three seniors, so it will be another issue that were dealing with trying to groom a quarterback next year, Jackson said, But right now were dealing with three solid contenders. While the four weeks of spring football will help set the team up for the upcoming regular season beginning in August, Jackson said there are goals he wants to achieve for the spring session. I want to be as injury-free as much as possible, he said, listing team goals for May 20, the day following the spring game. Obviously with as few numbers of players that we have, we want to try to get out of spring practice with no major injuries and to keep progressing from where were at now. He said every three days he wants every position to focus on at least two points and work on those two points. Each segment of the team were focusing on them learning two three different things every three days and keep progressing, Jackson said. Lets not make the mistake week 3 that were making week 1. We want to keep progressing and if we do that, all the little things will take care of themselves. Fort White had 54 players show-up for the first two days of the spring session. However, there are five guys running track and three playing baseball that are expected to join the team in the coming weeks. We have eight 10 more players potentially coming out, Jackson said. Well have 55-65 players and thats pretty high for us. Last year there were only 25 varsity players and around 20 junior varsity players. In the spring the program was dealing with about 40-45 players and this year the team is up to 55-60 players.
