TALLAHASSEE — When state House Minority Leader Mark Pafford puts a 6 a.m. workout before his legislative meetings on his daily schedule, it’s a public record.
When concerned parent K i m b e r l y J o n e s o f Plantation emails House Speaker Steve Crisafulli saying she has two children going to Florida State University and wants him to oppose a bill allowing guns on college campuses, that’s a public record too.
Reporters and other mem-bers of the public can get copies of those and almost all other legislative documents.

TALLAHASSEE — In an era when text messag-ing is a universal form of instant communication — especially during hectic legislative sessions — Gov. Rick Scott and his top aide refuse to do it and don’t want their employees doing it either, his office says.
The Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald requested all text mes-sages sent and received by Scott and his chief of staff, Melissa Sellers, as well as all three Cabinet members and their chiefs of staff, between Jan. 25 and Jan. 31.
The requests were made as part of an annual project by the Florida Society of News Editors to

Residents in Palatka Housing Authority’s Ragsdale communi-ty hope to plant a sense of pride with the installation of a new community garden.
It’s been about two years since Redlands Christian Migrant Association’s child care faci l i ty moved out of the Ragsdale neighborhood, leaving the community center at the entrance of the neighborhood vacant and the surrounding
plant life unkempt.“This center is supposed to be
used for the benefit of the com-munity,” said Aaron Robinson, housing authority social services director, “so we’ve been trying to have more of a presence here and get residents involved.”
Gwen Gadson, a Ragsdale resident and mother of four, said residents feel isolated in the community, which is near the corner of St. Johns Avenue and
Housing leaders hope community garden bloomsWHAT DO YOU THINK?

TALLAHASSSEE — Early vot-ing statistics, tens of thousands of independent voters signing up with a party at the last minute and a lot of buzz about Donald Trump set the stage for a presidential pri-mary like Florida hasn’t seen in a long time.
Even before today’s election, about 1.1 million Republicans had already voted in the winner-take-all contest for the state’s 99 dele-gates, one of the biggest prizes in the nominating process.

Mayor invited to meet Cuban exiles before trip
A town councilman in suburban Miami invited a Central Florida mayor to meet with Cuban exiles before attempting to return home from a visit to Cuba alone in a make-shift raft.
DeBary Mayor Clint Johnson plans to cross the Florida Straits next month without a motor. He said he wants to understand what Cuban
migrants experience. The U.S. Coast Guard has urged him to reconsider.
Miami Lakes Councilman Manny Cid, the child of Cuban exiles, emailed Johnson this week to say the migrants’ journeys are not calls to adventure but “very real pain and suffering.”
Johnson said he’d like to accept Cid’s offer and plans to honor “the many who have made this journey before me.”
Johnson tested his raft on Lake Monroe this week.
PALM COAST
Bloodhound credited with saving woman’s life
Authorities are crediting a prison bloodhound for finding a missing woman who was trying to harm her-self.
The K-9 unit at Tomoka Correctional Institution received a call this week to search for a 50-year-old woman. Family members said she’d sent text messages about harming herself.
Deputies ramped up the search after finding her abandoned car.
Wyatt, a 7-year-old bloodhound, sniffed a piece of the woman’s clothes authorities found in her car and locat-ed her within minutes.
According to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, the dog led them to the woman’s unconscious body laid out in the woods next to two Xanax bottles and a bottle of alcohol.
Deputies said she had been there more than three hours and believe she may have overdosed on prescription medication.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Dozens of inmates barricaded themselves inside a dormitory at a south Alabama prison on Monday following a stabbing, the second violent uprising in the same area of the over-crowded correctional facility in three days.
The disturbance began in the morning when a prisoner stabbed another inmate at the W i l l i a m C . H o l m a n Correctional Facility, Alabama Department of Corrections spokesman Bob Horton said in an emailed statement. When corrections officers tried to apprehend the suspect, inmates became violent and barricaded themselves inside the dorm, Horton said. He said 70 inmates were in the dorm, but it was unc lear how many were involved in the uprising. An emergency response team was deployed to the prison, he said.
Horton said Monday’s vio-lence occurred in the same dorm where, on Friday night, Holman inmates stabbed Warden Carter Davenport and a corrections officer and lit fires and then shot video of the melee with contraband cellphones.
Emergency response teams
had brought the first situation under control by Saturday morning, but the prison was still locked down Monday when the latest uprising broke out. During a search of the prison after Friday’s uprising was contained, corrections officers found 30 cellphones, makeshift knives and other contraband, Horton said.
M o n d a y ’ s d i s t u r b a n c e marked the third incidence of violence within a week in the state’s troubled prison system, which has come under criti-
cism for overcrowding and low staffing levels. An officer was stabbed last week at another Alabama prison.
A l a b a m a p r i s o n s i n December housed more than 24,282 inmates in facilities originally designed to hold 13,318, according to monthly statistics from the Department of Corrections. There were 830 prisoners housed at Holman, which was originally designed to hold 581 inmates.
“You don’t have enough offi-cers to monitor this many
inmates. This is going to con-tinue,” said Sen. Cam Ward, chairman of the legislative prison oversight committee.
A l a b a m a G o v . R o b e r t Bentley is asking legislators to approve an $800 million bond issue to build four new, large prisons and shutter most existing facilities.
Video that was apparently shot Friday night from inside the prison by an inmate with a contraband cellphone shows inmates starting a fire at the end of the dormitory.

Ann Jenkins, owner of Pools & Spas Plus Inc., and her daughter, Lee Ann Fridy, store manager, are always looking for ways to better their services to their customers such as attending annual chemical training classes in Atlanta, adding new merchandise and upgrading its store’s look, water testing station and online presence.
It’s just one of the many services customers can expect from this family-owned and operated store when they shop from the best.
“Some of our customers are practically like family,” Ann said. “They have kept the store in business all these years and we want to show them our appreciation. We’ve helped some three generations of family and it shows with the considerable growth of our service and repair area of our business.”
With summer around the corner, and area residents looking for ways to beat the heat, Pools & Spas Plus Inc. has the solution to help them create their own backyard oasis.
Pools & Spas Plus Inc. is the area’s largest above ground pool dealer with an outdoor pool park display with an 18, 24 and 15x30 foot set up of the highest quality pools at affordable prices made by manufacturers like Doughboy and Seaspray.
Ann said, smiling. “It is so rewarding to be able to provide services and fun-filled things for our friends an neighbors in Putnam County.”
Lee Ann agrees.“We’ve got the greatest job in the world,” Lee

Obituaries Officer killed by friendly fire
in ambushBy JessiCa GresKo
Associated Press
CHEVERLY, Md. — An undercover police officer was killed by his own colleagues’ fire as he responded to the ambush of his police station by a gunman with a death wish, a pol ice chief said Monday.
While officer Jacai Colson lay mortally wounded Sunday, the gunman’s two brothers coldly recorded the firefight, Prince George’s County police chief Hank Stawinski said, angrily tapping a podium as he provided the first details of the gun battle.
The gunman had been spray-ing bullets, hitting cars and even an ambulance, to draw officers outside the station. Colson also responded, jumping out of an unmarked car and wearing civilian clothes with-out body armor, the chief said.
In the confusion, despite their restraint, one of the other officers’ bullets hit Colson, the chief said.
C o l s o n d e m o n s t r a t e d “extreme heroism” because he “drew fire to himself and in doing so was mortally wound-ed,” the chief said.
Colson was declared dead later in a hospital. The gun-man, identified as Michael Ford, was expected to survive. His brothers, Malik and Elijah Ford, also were taken into cus-tody, and will face dozens of charges between them, the chief said.
Stawinski said federal agents have determined that there was no larger plot behind the ambush.
“This appears to be the act of the Ford brothers, for their
own motives. We have reason to suspect that the Ford broth-ers did not expect (Michael Ford) to survive his encounter with police,” the chief said.
The chief also said there were no outstanding warrants against Ford. That informa-tion conflicts with a sheriff’s report from Greenville, S.C., which said Ford, 22, was being sought for allegedly assault-ing his wife there the day before.
He said Colson’s fellow offi-cers were going about their business on the quiet, rainy Sunday when the gunman opened fire on the first officer he saw outside the station around 4:30 p.m. in Landover, a suburb northeast of down-town Washington, D.C., the chief said.
A gun battle followed, with several officers shooting at the suspect, Stawinski said.
“Those off icers did not s h r i n k . T h e y b r a v e l y advanced and engaged this individual,” the chief said.
Prince George’s County State ’ s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks called it “coward-ice” and a “horrific act of evil,” promising an aggressive investigation and prosecution. The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also are aiding police, spokesmen for the two federal agencies said.
Colson, who would have turned 29 this week, was a four-year department veteran who worked as an undercover narcotics officer. His football coach at Randolph-Macon College, where Colson played for one year, said he was “a great young man who was well liked and well respected.”

ideas & opinions
Florida’s tourist bureau announced the number of people visiting Florida last year exceeded the number in 2014 by
6.6 percent. The news release said 98.5 mil-lion people visited, and there was a gain each of the past five years.
Let’s wait a second before patting anyone on the back. There may be logical reasons why more people came to Florida other than influence from the state’s promotion. Lower gas prices was probably the biggest reason. But the fact this country’s economy is in such poor condition could have prompted a Florida vacation rather than flying to London or Paris. Maybe people from our northern states decided to load up the old flivver, drive to Florida and sit on our superb beaches, free!
Whatever the reason, we will take their money and especially their sales tax contri-bution to the state’s coffers.
Headline: “Obama signs tougher North Korean sanctions.” The article said, “President Obama slapped North Korea with more stringent sanctions Thursday for defying the world and pushing forward with its nuclear weapons program.” It said Democrat and Republican lawmakers, many of whom argue Obama hasn’t been tough enough with North Korea, approved the bill last week.
Say what? I watch the news pretty closely and keep my good ear attuned to serious things coming out of Washington. I have not seen, nor heard, of such a bill. It was not described in the newspaper article. However, whatever it contained, it passed the House by a 408-2 vote and flew through the Senate unanimously.
There hasn’t been a significant bill
passed through our Congress by that major-ity since we declared war on Japan back in 1941. Wouldn’t you think the press would have made more of it? The public might like to know what the stringent sanctions were and especially who cast the two negative votes in the House. Usually, Fox News would be all over that and gnaw on it for a week.
The article said Obama signed the legis-lation “away from the news media” and issued no statement.
Does anyone find that strange? Obama usually signs important bills with the cam-eras rolling and handing out the signing pens to supporters after each word. My newspaper intuition tells me something is there the administration doesn’t want the public to know and it appears the media is cooperating. Wait for it.
Here at home, the Bluegrass music week-end has wound up at Rodeheaver Boys Ranch. People who appreciate bluegrass music should take in a production because like the big band era, it will slowly disap-pear. In fact, just about everything we can define as music is disappearing. I think rap will be music’s last vestige. After that, peo-ple will probably just beat on a drum and scream obscenities.
Bluegrass music, however, may be the only art form indigenous to this country. It
was totally invented here. Perhaps we can include the blues in there, too, but it all grew out of southern gospel, including black gospel. That was actually what got Elvis Pressley on the charts, and after Elvis, all music changed.
Many types of music have come and gone. Perhaps the best musicians were in the era of the big bands which people my age still appreciate. They were actually cut-down orchestras. They lost out because it became too expensive to move them to different ven-ues, and people quit formal dancing. I can’t remember when a regular dance was held other than a high school prom.
In my era, part of the thrill was just to stop dancing, face the music and listen to the band. When has someone heard a really good trumpet played like Harry James or Doc Severinsen? When has anyone heard live music from the likes of Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller or Henry Mancini?
Bluegrass got its name from musician Bill Monroe, a country mandolin player from the bluegrass state of Kentucky. He could really flog his old Gibson mandolin, but his weak voice couldn’t hit high notes, so he began singing in a falsetto voice. That, and high-strung instruments played in dou-ble time, developed into what is referred to as the High Lonesome sound of harmonized voices.
Unfortunately, the popularity of blue-grass is already fading and will come to its inevitable end one of these days, so all you amateur pickers, get your licks in now.

Today is when you
matter mostTired of the nonstop political commer-
cials? Sick of the fantastical promises? Can’t wait to see fewer campaign signs?
Putnam County residents, your time has come. Today is the Presidential Preference Primary.
After months and months of endless campaign-ing — and approximately 3,482 debates — Florida voters will go to the polls and cast a vote for the Republican or Democratic presidential candidate you hope to see on the ballot in November.
It’s about time, right?Presidential elections used to bring out the
best in this country. It was a time for scholarly debate and serious consideration. This election cycle has been anything but.
You’ve got a reality TV star who has never held elected office condoning violence from behind a lectern. You have a Democratic socialist who hasn’t claimed to be a Democrat for a year. His opponent is a longtime politico who is currently under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The hometown boy, Marco Rubio, has faded. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has earned proverbial slaps on the wrists for what his opponents call dirty tricks. And then there’s John Kasich, who many in Florida couldn’t pick out of a lineup.
And while there are many voters who are dis-appointed with the options, there are many more who have chosen one of the six remaining candi-dates as the person they think is best fit to lead this country.
Voting is a sacred right. When we finally dis-patched our mother country, Great Britain, the founders specifically intended for us to have a unifying leader to guide the country. But, those same wise founders also wanted the people to decide who that leader should be. Our forefathers did not want power to pass between family members, even though this election cycle has done it’s damndest to make that happen. So if dynasties are your thing, you’ve can cast your lot with Hillary Clinton. Heck, Jeb Bush is still on the ballot, so even though he’s departed the presi-dential race — suspending his campaign, as they say nowadays — you can still tap into a familiar family.
If you haven’t participated in early or mail vot-ing, today is the final day for you to make your voice heard. Millions of dollars have already been spent on the campaigns, and millions more will be spent before the first Tuesday in November.
We don’t endorse candidates here at the Palatka Daily News, because we don’t think it’s our right to tell you — or suggest to you — for whom you should vote.
We hope you cast your ballot for the person who best fits your ideals, who represents your values or issues and who you feel comfortable leading this country for the next four years.
But most of all, we ask that you vote. You mat-ter most when you’re involved, and today is your opportunity to do just that.

Divisive culture creates unsafe working conditions
Some recent Letters to the Editor shed some light on the animosity that has been brewing for quite some time within the Putnam County firefighting industry.
These letters, although varying in both accurate and inaccurate information, only add gasoline to the fire and move our resi-dents further down the priority list when discussing public safety.
This kind of incessant bickering must be a cause of concern for our community lead-ers. They must know a divisive public safe-
ty program that perpetuates hostility will almost certainly leave their constituents in jeopardy.
Now, more than ever before, is the time to finally unify the Fire and EMS services within the county. Move the fire program under the umbrella of one set of rules and make all the players follow those rules.
Autonomy of the individual fire depart-ment level sounds nice, but in the business of saving lives, especially when mutual aid is so frequently required, we must work in a united fashion toward the common goal. We must get back to putting our citizens first, and our current system isn’t putting priority on those people who matter the most.
How can public safety personnel be expected to show up at your house and do the best job for you when they’re allowed to argue amongst themselves over territory and kingdoms? How can they be expected to share equipment or a communications system if they’re plotting on how to be a more committed isolationist? Perpetuating a divisive culture causes an unsafe working condition for our firefighters and our citi-zens. It’s not what either of them deserve, and it’s certainly not something a commu-nity leader should allow to go unaddressed.

Texan in critical condition after wreck
A 64-year-old Texas man is in critical condition after his motorcycle hit a vehicle travel-ing in front of him Friday eve-ning, a state Highway Patrol report said.
Dan Quinton Calloway was traveling southbound on U.S. 17 south of State Road 19 when he struck another vehicle, the report said.
The motorcycle had substan-tial front-end damage from the impact, which knocked the driver to the ground, the report said.
The vehicle struck left the scene of the crash, the report said.
Calloway was taken to a Gainesville hospital.
INTERLACHEN
Man accused of attacking deputy
A 51-year-old Interlachen man was arrested and charged with battery of a law enforce-ment officer, aggravated bat-tery of a law enforcement offi-cer, firing weapon in public or residential property and resist-ing an officer after law enforce-ment officials said he became combative and threatened a
P u t n a m C o u n t y S h e r i f f ’ s Office deputy.
A sheriff’s office report said Arnold E r n e s t J o w e r s threatened to shoot Deputy Mark Juen
after Juen said he responded to the suspect’s residence on Ida Point Drive for a disturbance.
Juen said before arriving at the residence, he heard six shots from a firearm, the report said.
Juen said the suspect made the disturbance call to dispatch and “appeared extremely irri-tated,” the report said.
Juen said he asked the sus-pect if he could assist him and the suspect replied, “You can go arrest that baldheaded dirty cop,” the report said.
The report said the suspect also accused Juen of being “a dirty cop.”
Juen said he told the suspect he was leaving because he did not need law enforcement, the report said.
After leaving the residence, Juen said dispatch contacted him and said the suspect was calling, but they could not understand him because he was “screaming and yelling
obscenities,” the report said.Juen said he parked his
patrol car, walked to the resi-dence and saw the suspect in a chair with a pistol on the desk in front of him, the report said.
Juen said the suspect stood up and told the deputy he was going to show him something and rammed the deputy with his body as he attempted to walk past.
Juen told the suspect to sit down and asked if he shot the gun recently.
The suspect told Juen it didn’t matter because it was private property, the report said.
When Juen told the suspect he didn’t have a safe backdrop and it was reckless to discharge a firearm in any direction, the suspect said, “I’ll shoot you,” the report said.
Juen said he attempted to arrest the suspect when the suspect grabbed him by the neck, the report said.
The report said the suspect grabbed Juen by the back of the neck and the deputy struck the suspect five times with his fist to the right side of the suspect’s torso.
The report said deputies arrested the suspect when he let go of Juen.
Jowers was taken to the Putnam County Jail and held on $35,500 bond.

Satsuma man faces drug charges
A 50-year-old Satsuma man was arrested and charged with cocaine possession and driving with a suspended license after deputies conducted a traffic stop for failing to use a turn signal with oncoming traffic nearby.

said while searching the sus-pect, he saw a baggie with a powder substance inside, the report said.
Officers said while searching the vehicle, they found an unused syringe and a piece of a straw with a white substance, the report said.

Depew was arrested and taken to the Putnam County Jail. He was released on $3,000 bond.

Moody Road in Palatka — a busy intersec-tion where Gadson said drivers are known to speed.
Because of transportation challenges and the neighborhood’s location, Robinson said he’s focused on bringing more resi-dent services to the community center.
In recent months, the housing authority partnered with the University of Florida extension office to present healthy cooking demonstrations at the center. Robinson said a first-time homebuyers course will soon be offered at the center.
But a representative from another local agency came up with a way to serve resi-dents in the community while sprucing up the center and the gateway to the Ragsdale community.
“I was looking for a place for a commu-nity garden where we could directly involve residents and promote healthy living and beautification,” said Marcia Marinello, Keep Putnam Beautiful execu-
tive director. Marinello said the Ragsdale community
center is a “perfect” place for a community garden.
Community gardens, Marinello said, are one of Keep Putnam Beautiful’s mis-sions and a program the group hopes to expand. The Ragsdale community center will be one of five community garden loca-tions supported by Keep Putnam Beautiful.
While Palatka’s community gardens on River and 12th streets and near Water Works Environmental Education Center offer plots for individuals to grow their own gardens, Marinello said, the Ragsdale vegetable garden would offer a shared har-vest to anyone who wants to participate.
She said Keep Putnam Beautiful is working with other local agencies to resur-rect community gardens near Westover Drive in Palatka and near Miller Middle School in Crescent City, which will also be used for educational purposes and offer a shared harvest.
Eventually, Marinello said, healthy cooking classes could be tailored to target the vegetables residents grow in the Ragsdale garden.
The Ragsdale residents’ council will decide the garden’s accessibility, and resi-dents will decide what they want to grow.
A vegetable garden and butterfly gar-den is planned, but Robinson said gardens could grow based on resident participa-tion. He said there are about 80 residential units in the Ragsdale Community.
Marinello said Keep Putnam Beautiful would provide seeds and plants for the gar-dens’ first “go around,” and hopes to start planting within the next week.
“Hopefully, we’ll get people to try new things and get the kids involved,” Marinello said. “You get a sense of pride and accomplishment when you can plant a seed, and all of the sudden, you have a crop you can eat.”
Gadson said she hopes the gardens will make the neighborhood look welcoming and give residents a sense of involvement and responsibility.
“If you pull the kids in, you’ll pull the parents, too,” Gadson said. “If the kids are growing something, they won’t want to destroy it. And it will make the center look presentable.”

surpass the average local turnout rate for presidential primaries.
But with fewer than 20 percent of Putnam voters having already voted early or by mail, Overturf said there would need to be a steady flow of people in polling plac-es for the county to meet its target turnout.
“We’re at about 18 percent or 18-and-a-half percent at this moment,” Overturf said Monday afternoon. “The average for the presidential primary in the past years is 44 percent. I’ve said we’re expecting about 50 percent. If we were at 30 percent now, it would be more likely to hit 60 per-cent.”
Overturf said there may be only one race on the ballots, but his office underwent the same preparation it would for any other primary or election.
“Everything we do, even if it is 100 races, we’ll do the exact same for one (race),” he said. “Even though it’s just one race per party, per se, we’ll still do everything we do for a normal election.”
Putnam voters had 10 days to vote early and about a month to vote by mail, but Overturf said election workers are still pre-pared to accommodate large crowds.
But one of the most important thing vot-ers must remember is Florida is a closed primary state, they must be registered Republican or Democrat to vote and they must vote in the party in which they’re reg-istered.
Overturf said numerous people tried to vote early but couldn’t because they missed the Feb. 16 deadline to register to vote and switch parties.
“Some understood why they couldn’t vote,” Overturf said. “Some didn’t. Every medium possible, we tried to get it out (that Florida is a closed primary state).
People not registered as Republicans or Democrats can vote using a provisional
ballot, Overturf said, but the Canvassing Board would likely rule the ballot invalid.
Voters could also use provisional ballots if they visit the wrong polling location, but the likelihood of the Canvassing Board rul-ing the ballot invalid is just as high, he said.
Overturf said the Elections Office’s web-site has a list of county precincts and poll-ing places so voters won’t mistakenly go to the wrong location when trying to vote.
In addition to visiting the correct polling place, voters must also the have the appro-priate identification to vote.
“They have to have a photo and signa-ture ID,” Overturf said. “Most people use their driver’s license because it’s both (photo and signature). The other thing – you have to vote at your polling place, not here (at the Elections Office).
For information about the primary or to find the correct polling location, visit soe.putnam-fl.com.
Turnoutcontinued from PAge 1A
Among Democrats, about 827,000 peo-ple had either cast ballots by mail or in person at early voting sites in a contest that will award 214 delegates proportion-ately by congressional district.
That means even before polls open Tuesday, about 22 percent of active voters from both parties will have voted, a total that could go a long way toward propel-ling Trump to the GOP nomination while effectively killing Sen. Marco Rubio’s chance of winning the presidency this year.
“Each election has its own vibe,” said Brian Corley, the Pasco County elections supervisor and president of the statewide supervisors association. “For presidential preference primaries, we haven’t seen this sort of level of energized voters or buzz. And I’ve never seen voters who are so engaged.”
From the end of January to Feb. 16, the last day to register or switch parties ahead of the primary, Florida saw Republican Party registration increase by 67,065 while Democratic Party registra-tion increased by 34,943 and independent voters decreased 27,721. That’s the oppo-site of recent trends of people leaving par-ties to register as independents, Corley said.
“They were coming in like numbers
we’ve never seen,” Corley said, adding that most were joining the Republican Party. “People were not shy about sharing who they were switching to vote for. Donald Trump.”
University of Florida political science professor Dan Smith has been tracking early voting figures and said it’s clear there’s particularly strong involvement among Republican voters. Of people who have already voted in the Republican pri-mary, half didn’t vote at all in the 2012 presidential primary.
“There’s some excitement from people who have not felt compelled to participate in the primary process,” Smith said. “We know the candidates who are appealing to those people who have felt marginalized by the Republican Party establishment.”

Dear Harriette: My children are 4 and 6 years old. They are young now, so they go to day camp over the summer. However, I was think-ing recently that in a few years, dif-ferent arrangements for their sum-mers will have to be made. I went to sleepaway camp for years and had the best summers of my life in the hills of Pennsylvania. My hus-band never went to camp other than brief day camps. He played sports or went on family vacations during his summers growing up.
When I mentioned sending our children to camp, my husband said, “Bad parents send their kids to camp because they don’t want to spend time with them.”
Excuse me? My parents had to work long hours as I was growing up, and they definitely needed a break in the summertime. They also wanted my sister and me to meet hundreds of other children and be in nature.
I never knew my husband was so against sending children away for a summer. He really struck a nerve with me. I want my kids to go to
summer camp at some point in their lives. — Struck a Nerve, Boston
Dear Struck A Nerve: This strikes a chord with me. I was not a summer camp kid at all, but my 12-year-old daughter has been going to summer camp for four years now. Why? She really wanted to go, so I researched camps and found one, recommended by her school, that seemed safe and interesting. We started slow, with the shortest allowable stay of two weeks.
Begin to look into camps now; find out what families attend the ones that interest you, and tell your husband that there are tremendous benefits from the experience. Two weeks is hardly the whole summer, so starting with a short stay may pique your husband’s interest a lit-tle. Of course, you also have to have a child who wants to do it. Between your two children, you will learn whether either or both want to try it out. If so, suggest to your husband that you give it a try.
Regarding the apology, it’s not necessary. Just work on getting your children into a positive experience.
Dear Harriette: I love my brother immensely, but he refuses every form of help. His girlfriend recently kicked him out of their home because he cheated on her after a night of drunken debauch-ery. Since then, he has been sleep-ing outside on the porch of what used to be his home! He looks like a dog attempting to repent for his sins. His girlfriend hasn’t spoken to him, and she put his belongings out for him to take away. My family has offered to take him in for a little while so he can find an apartment, but he has just been sleeping on this couch for days! How do we talk some sense into him? I think he believes they’ll get back together when it’s clearly over. — Let Me Help You, Denver
Dear Let Me Help You: Offer shelter to your brother and remind him that he doesn’t live with his girlfriend anymore. Point out that if he continues, she may have him arrested. Otherwise, let this run its course. He has to learn his own les-sons, as hard as it may be for you to watch.

Camp drives wedge into family
COMICS
Li Ka-shing, a Hong Kong business magnate, investor and philanthropist, said, “We are approaching a new age of synthe-sis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill ... it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical
deduction without which we can-not have constructive progress.”
Playing bridge well requires clear thinking and logical deduc-tion; perhaps, because declarer made one play, he must have this, or cannot have that.
West misdefended this deal by not thinking clearly. It was sent to me by Steve Conrad of Manhasset, New York.
In the bidding from a pro-am, the “am” sitting North pre-ferred that her expert partner be the declarer. However, knowing about the eight- or nine-card spade fit and having a singleton, she should have corrected three no-trump to four spades, which would have made with an over-trick.
Against three no-trump, West
led the diamond king. Declarer won with dummy’s ace, crossed to his hand with a club, and led a spade. When West nervously inserted her jack, South played low from the dummy.
Now East should have over-taken with his king and returned the diamond nine, which would have held declarer to his contract. Minus 400 would have been a top for East-West. When East actu-ally played low, West led another club. South won, played a spade to dummy’s ace, and led another spade. West cashed her diamond queen to hold South to 10 tricks. But minus 430 was still a top.
West should have played low on the first spade, because if South had held the king, he would have cashed that honor first.

WASHINGTON — Today’s primaries could provide a defin-ing moment in the race for the Republican nomination for president — or not.
So far, Donald Trump has been winning most of the pri-maries, but he’s only been col-lecting 43 percent of the dele-gates. That’s not good enough to win the nomination. It takes a majority, which raises the possibility of a contested con-vention with an uncertain out-come.
Trump’s rivals are doing worse. The closest is Ted Cruz, who is 90 delegates behind Trump, winning 34 percent of the delegates awarded so far.
Almost every state that has voted so far has awarded dele-gates proportionally, that even the losers could get delegates.
But that changes today, when party rules say states can start awarding all of their dele-gates to the statewide winner. Only nine contests are winner-take-all, and three of them are today, in Florida, Ohio and the Northern Mariana islands.
People will also vote in Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina.
A look at how different out-comes in Tuesday’s races could shape the race for the GOP nomination:
A TRUMP SWEEP: If the GOP front-runner sweeps today’s contests, he will put himself on a path to win the nomination by the end of the primary season June 7.
He would have to keep win-ning to pull it off. But he would cross an important threshold by collecting more than 50 percent of the delegates awarded so far.
The big prizes are Florida, with 99 delegates, and Ohio, with 66. The Marianas have only nine delegates.
Also, the winners in Missouri and Illinois could get a large majority of the delegates from those states.
North Carolina awards dele-gates proportionally, so every-body gets a trophy.
T H E H O M E - S T A T E S E N A T O R A N D GOVERNOR WIN: If Marco Rubio wins Florida and John Kasich wins Ohio, their victo-ries would go a long way toward making sure no one gets the 1,237 delegates needed to lock up the nomination before the convention.
It’s already too late for Rubio or Kasich to reach the magic number by June. Rubio has been winning just 15 percent of the delegates, and Kasich has been getting just 6 percent.
But if they could both pull off big wins today, they could stop Trump, setting the stage for a
contested convention this sum-mer.
Even if Trump were to win the rest of the winner-take-all states — there are only six oth-ers — he would still be denied a majority of the delegates.
T H E H O M E - S T A T E S E N A T O R A N D GOVERNOR SPLIT: I f Trump were to win Florida but lose Ohio, the status quo would prevail, and the race would con-tinue on an uncertain path. Trump would have slightly less than 50 percent of the dele-gates, but he could jump above the threshold by winning the rest of the winner-take-all states.
The next big winner-take-all state is Arizona, with 58 dele-gates at stake, March 22. There are three winner-take-all states June 7, the last day of the pri-mary season. They are New Jersey, Montana and South Dakota.
TED CRUZ SWEEPS: The polls say it’s unlikely, but if Ted Cruz were to win every state today, he would jump into the lead in the race for delegates. However, he would still be short of a majority of the dele-gates, increasing the likelihood of a contested convention.
Cruz would need to win 61 percent of the remaining dele-gates to reach 1,237, a big improvement from his current rate of 34 percent.
Cruz would probably need Rubio and Kasich to drop out, and then would need to beat Trump soundly in the remain-ing contests.
AP DELEGATE COUNT: Donald Trump, 460; Ted Cruz, 370; Marco Rubio, 163; and John Kasich, 63.

Today’s GOP primaries could define race — or not
document government compli-ance with public records laws. The effort is part of Sunshine Week, a nationwide initiative to educate the public about the importance of transparent gov-ernment.
All three Cabinet members, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater and Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, produced several series of rou-tine messages. But Scott pro-duced no records, and his chief of staff, Sellers, produced one text message received on her phone.
Scott’s chief spokeswoman, Jackie Schutz, said the gover-nor discourages employees from texting on state business.
“The governor’s office dis-courages the use of text mes-saging state business by employees because text mes-sages are hard to catalogue due to the digital nature of the message,” Schutz said.
The single text from Sellers’ phone was from a friend iden-tified as “Taylor” who got a job.
“Just accepted. Start week of 9th,” said the message, which Scott’s office posted on the Project Sunburst open gov-ernment website in response to the request.
No reply message was pro-vided, and Scott’s office did not identify the person’s full name or provide additional details.
Scott’s policy, while highly unusual, was confirmed by lob-byists and legislators who said they communicate regularly with the governor’s office.
“I never send text messages to them, and they wouldn’t accept text messages if I did send them,” said Sen. Jeff B r a n d e s , a t e c h - s a v v y R e p u b l i c a n f r o m S t . Petersburg. “They specifically said, ‘Call me.’ That’s how they want to do business, so I call them.”
Barbara Petersen of the First Amendment Foundation, a group supported by Florida media outlets that advocates in support of open government, said she was skeptical of Scott’s position.
“I find it difficult to believe that the governor and his chief of staff don’t use the easiest and most ubiquitous form of communication: text messag-es,” Petersen said. “Given the governor’s travel schedule, I would think the fact that they don’t text would make commu-nication much less efficient. I would want to know the rea-soning behind such a decision or policy.”
The quantity and quality of Scott’s communication with legislators has been much dis-cussed throughout the session, with Republicans describing Scott as disengaged from the daily minutiae of writing laws and a new state budget.
Scott frequently travels throughout Florida and out of state on his private jet.
During the week of Jan. 25-31, he held jobs announce-ments in Broward and Palm Beach counties before flying to Washington to speak at events hosted by Americans for Tax Reform and the Heritage Foundation, according to his official schedules for those days.
While in the nation’s capital, Scott appeared on CNN and Fox News, and met with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and syndicated columnist George Will before he returned to Tallahassee Thursday for a dinner with the board of Enterprise Florida.
That Friday morning, Scott gave a rousing breakfast speech to EFI board members to advocate for a $250 million fund to attract jobs to Florida — a priority that Republican
lawmakers would soon reject.The Times/Herald has
Scott’s personal cellphone number. A text message sent to that number on Thursday was not blocked by Scott’s cell-phone provider , but no response was provided.
Text messaging has become ubiquitous in the Capitol between individual legislators, between legislators and lobby-ists and between reporters and legislators.
Times/Herald reporters routinely send text messages to legislators, seeking answers to questions or to quickly schedule one-on-one inter-views.
The Times/Herald asked for “all public record text mes-sages sent by or received between 12:01 a.m. Monday Jan. 25 and 12:01 a.m. Monday Feb. 1, including all public record text messages sent or received on a personal commu-nication device.”
By law, text messages sent and received by Florida public officials dealing with official business are public records, regardless of whether the device used is private or a gov-ernment-owned phone.
All four officials responded quickly, with Putnam the first to respond. He provided texts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about rising flood levels in South Florida, and Chief of Staff Mike Joyner’s texts on routine agency busi-ness.
Bondi produced texts that related to talks over siding with state attorneys in negoti-ations over how to rewrite Florida’s death penalty sen-tencing law to comply with an adverse decision from the U.S. Supreme Court.
“(Sen.) Rob Bradley will be with us,” one Bondi text said.
Her office also produced texts between her chief of staff a n d a n o f f i c i a l i n t h e Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Atwater produced text mes-sages from three lobbyists — Carlos Cruz, former Sen. Jim Horne and Paul Sanford — and from two Republican House members who sought one-on-one meetings.
“Pepe, I didn’t see this mes-sage until last night,” Atwater told Rep. Jose Felix Diaz, R-Miami. “I’m happy to talk when you are. Happy to come to your office as well.”
Scott agreed last August to pay $700,000 to settle a public records lawsuit by attorney Steve Andrews over Scott’s use of a private email account for state business. It was the first time in state history that a sit-ting governor agreed to settle allegations of violating public records laws.
Scott and all three Cabinet members agreed last June to provide greater transparency and training to settle a lawsuit filed by the Tampa Bay Times, Miami Herald and other Florida news organizations.
The lawsuit followed Scott’s secret dismissal, without a public vote, of former state D e p a r t m e n t o f L a w Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey, who reported to the governor and Cabinet.
requested copies of all emails and daily schedules from the top four Florida legis-lative leaders for Feb. 1-7. All four acknowledged they were obliged to respond to the request and produced responses within a few days.
In some states, that would seem out-landish, but Florida has a tradition of unusually comprehensive and strict laws on open government and open records. Florida’s “Government in the Sunshine” law mandates public access to meetings and records at all levels of state and local government.
By law, you don’t have to say why you want the records. Requests for the records can even be made anonymously, and any charges for fulfilling the request must be reasonable.
The legislators provided relatively
detailed schedules including names of those attending meetings.
Crisafulli, a Merritt Island Republican, and Paf ford, a West Palm Beach Democrat, were swamped with hundreds of emails that week because of House consideration of contentious bills allow-ing open carry of firearms and carrying guns on campus. They said the request for their emails would require extensive staff time and fees; instead, AP narrowed the scope of the request.
“I’ve always supported Florida’s open records law and making sure the public has access to records,” Pafford said.
“This is the people’s government. If somebody finds out I’m doing a workout or having a doctor’s appointment at a cer-tain time, that’s OK. It’s on my schedule because my staff needs to know what I’m doing when.”
In practice, things aren’t always so open and transparent. Only the response from Senate Minority Leader Arthenia Joyner, D-Tampa, for example, included substantial numbers of emails both to
and from the legislator.AP made the same request to Gov. Rick
Scott, whose response consisted of refer-ences to the websites where he publishes his schedules and emails.
Scott has long published a daily sched-ule on the governor’s office website, and in 2012, he launched Project Sunburst, a website posting the contents of the email accounts of the governor and his top staff. However, after launching Sunburst, Scott stopped using his office email account to transact business.
In 2014, a lawsuit produced evidence Scott and his aides used private email accounts for government business, and a request from the AP, filled only after a three-month delay, showed Scott using his personal account for discussing state business with top aides, after having denied doing so.
While Scott publishes his schedule, meanwhile, it has occasionally omitted important meetings, and also omits some travel details for what his office calls security reasons.

HANOVERTON, Ohio — GOP front-runner Donald Trump tried to prove over the weekend that no perceived misstep can derail his march to the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump enjoyed a relatively controversy free multi-state tour Sunday ahead of prima-ries that could determine whether he wins the G O P n o m i n a t i o n without a contested summer convention.
Perhaps most criti-cal to that equation is today’s winner-take-all contest in Ohio, where the real estate mogul and the popu-lar governor, John Kasich, intensified their focus on one another — Trump calling his rival “a baby” and Kasich sug-gesting Trump and the violence at some of his rallies repre-sent a “dark side” of American society.
Besides Ohio, can-didates are readying their closing argu-ments in I l l ino is , M i s s o u r i , N o r t h Carolina and Florida, with the total number of delegates at stake Tuesday accounting for more than a quar-ter of the 1,237 neces-sary for nomination.
Texas Sen . Ted Cruz argues only he can keep Trump from reach-ing the required majority, while Florida Sen. Marco Rubio tries merely to remain relevant, hoping his home-state voters defy the polls and give him justi f icat ion to extend his candidacy.
Trump tried Sunday to shift attention away from the intense criticism that followed harrowing scenes Friday of a melee in Chicago, where he canceled a scheduled rally amid a near-riot among his supporters, protesters and authorities.
“If we can win Ohio, we’re going to run the table, folks,” Trump boas ted in West Chester, Ohio, on Sunday, one of three events he held with only occasional interruptions from protesters.
None of those interruptions led to violence, a stark turn from the scenes in Chicago and a Saturday rally in which a dissenter stormed the stage as Trump spoke, only to be subdued by Secret Service agents.
“We’re not provoking. We want peace. … We don’t want trouble,” Trump told a crowd in Bloomington, Ill.
Kasich wasn’t buying it, reversing his months-long practice of avoiding the topic of Trump.
S p e a k i n g w i t h t h e Associated Press aboard his campaign bus between stops in Ohio, Kasich read a list of Trump quotes compiled by an aide.
They included Trump’s com-ments his audiences should “hit back” a little more and a statement he’d like to “punch” a protester “in the face.”
Trump has often declared
the country must “toughen up,” and suggested one man who was physically assaulted at a November rally deserved the treatment.
H e c o n f i r m e d e a r l i e r Sunday he was con-sidering assisting a North Carolina man charged with assault after video captured him sucker-punching a protester at a March 9 rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Said Kasich: “It’s r e a l l y c a u s e f o r pause.”
Trump answered this weekend by cast-ing Kasich as weak and deliberately mis-pronounced his rival’s Czech surname.
“He’s not the right guy to be president. H e ’ s n o t t o u g h e n o u g h ; h e ’ s n o t s h a r p e n o u g h , ” Trump said at an event outside Dayton.
In line with his pro-tectionist economic pitch, Trump ham-mered Kasich for sup-porting the North American Free Trade Agreement as a mem-ber of Congress in the 1990s.
And he went on to incorrectly identify the gover-nor as KASE-itch. “Like, most people don’t even know how to pronounce his name. Kase-ick! Kase-ick!” Trump mocked.
“He cannot do the job, folks. He’s not your president.”
Kasich campaigned in Ohio Monday with 2012 GOP nomi-nee Mitt Romney, and 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was scheduled to campaign separate ly for Trump Monday in Florida.
Donald Trump’s presiden-tial campaign said Todd Palin, husband of Sarah Palin, was “in a bad snow machine acci-dent” Sunday night and is hospitalized.
The campaign said in a statement the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presi-dential candidate is returning
home to be with her husband. The statement said Sarah
Palin “looks forward to being back on the campaign trail soon.”
The statement said Trump, the GOP front runner, sends his thoughts and prayers to Sarah Palin and her family.
Despite Sunday’s relative calm, Trump’s events unques-tionably have become increas-ingly tense over the course of his campaign, and the candi-date frequently called for aggressive tactics against pro-testers, with Chicago’s events giving his rivals a new open-ing to criticize a front-runner they side-stepped or even praised for months.
Cruz said Trump encourag-es an essentially un-American atmosphere.
“I’m troubled by the rallies that Donald holds, where he asks all the people there to raise their hand and pledge their support to him,” Cruz said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
A distant third in delegates, Rubio compared Trump to third-world “strongmen,” and said the tone of the campaign “is really going to do damage to America.”
The senator has gone so far as to say his supporters in Ohio should vote for Kasich to help derail Trump. Kasich has not returned the favor.
Cruz argued in Columbus, Ohio, that Republican voters are wasting their time with either Kasich or Rubio. Kasich has yet to win a single prima-ry; Rubio has won three.
Trump assured his backers their frustration is righteous rage against a corrupt politi-cal and economic system. He cast his naysayers as “bad people” that “do harm to the country.”
Though by the end of his busy Sunday, he seemed to miss the commotion.
In Boca Raton, where he spoke in an outdoor amphithe-ater on a balmy Florida night, he asked, 20 minutes into his speech, “Do we have a protest-er anywhere? Do we have a disrupter?”

MIAMI — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was among the Republican Party’s biggest stars when he burst onto the national stage in the tea party wave of 2010. Now, he is facing a home-state showing today that could devas-tate his 2016 presidential campaign and damage his political brand for years to come.
The Cuban-American’s desire to become the nation’s first Hispanic president, and his past support for a forgiving immigration policy, have failed to excite conservative primary voters who instead have flocked to Donald Trump’s nativist politics.
“Marco’s always had good timing. This time, the timing just wasn’t there,” said Albert Lorenzo, who managed Rubio’s first state house campaign nearly two decades ago and stays in close contact with him.
Yet Lorenzo, like those closest to Rubio, suggests that should his bid end in disap-pointment, the senator’s career in public ser-vice is far from over. The 44-year-old Republican could run for Florida governor in two years, president in four years or even his own Senate seat later this year.
“He’s a talent you don’t find,” Lorenzo said.Added Rubio ally, Miami city commission-
er Francis Suarez: “I can’t think of anybody more popular in Florida than he is — except maybe the man he’s losing to.”
Indeed, the first-term senator has been looking up at Trump in Florida preference polls for months. Rubio is the decided under-dog to the billionaire businessman in today’s do-or-die home-state contest.
Despite long odds, Rubio insists he’s focused only on winning his party’s 2016 presidential nomination.
“I haven’t even thought about what I’m having for lunch today, much less what I’m going to run for in two years or nothing at all,” he told reporters in West Palm Beach this week.
“If I never hold public office again, I’m comfortable with that,” Rubio continued. “I can’t tell you what’s going to happen two to four years from now. But I have no plans. No thoughts. No contemplation. No meetings. Nothing about any future political run of any sort.”
Should his presidential bid end in disap-pointment, many who know him expect a political comeback, though those closest to Rubio believe he could turn to the private sector to help provide for his family.
With four school-age children, Rubio has struggled with his personal finances in recent years, cashing out a retirement account as recently as 2014 to upgrade home appliances and pay for school costs. The Republican would have such well-compen-sated options as becoming a media personal-ity or joining a law firm.
He would also need to decide whether he wants to return to Capitol Hill.
Rubio has previously said he would not run for president and the Senate at the same time. An exit from the White House contest next week would give him plenty of time to qualify for another, albeit unlike-ly, Senate run.
The deadline to file the necessary paperwork isn’t until late June. And Federal Election Commission rules allow him to transfer any unused
money from his presidential campaign to a Senate campaign account, albeit with cave-ats about individual donor limits.
Rubio would also be a prime candidate to run for the open governor’s seat being vacat-ed by the term-limited Gov. Rick Scott in 2018. Such a move would give the senator’s political standing at least a year to recover after a brutal 2016 campaign.
Some conservatives suggest that may not be enough time to resurrect his political brand, should Rubio suffer an embarrassing loss today.
“I think a loss in Florida is very bad for Rubio’s political future. It is hard to argue that Rubio is the right guy to run for gover-nor of Florida if he couldn’t win a presidential primary there,” said Mark Meckler, a long-time leader in the national tea party move-ment. “Luckily, he’s a bright man, a seem-ingly nice guy, and probably has a solid future in the private sector. And perhaps after a few years out, he can come back and run again.”
Rubio could, of course, make another run for the White House in 2020 or beyond if he fails this year. The vast majority of recent Republican presidential nominees have not captured the nomination in their first attempts.
Rubio, who turns 45 years old in May, is the youngest of the remaining four 2016 con-tenders. His supporters note Ronald Reagan was 69 when he assumed office.
“People are still getting to know Marco,” said Luis Rodriguez, a longtime Rubio sup-porter and former vice chairman of the Dade County Republican Party. “He has 20 more years he can run for president. If not now, in 5, 10 or 20 years he’ll be there.”

The top sports stories in anoth-er Weekend That Was:
5. A major setback for Mississippi State quarterback
Dak Prescott as he is arrested Saturday morning on a DUI charge, possibly hurting his draft stock.
4. Down five shots going into the final round, Charl Schwartzel ral-lies, then beats Bill Haas in a playoff to take the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor on Sunday.
3. In yet another exciting Sprint Cup race on Sunday, Kevin Harvick edges Carl Edwards for his eight Cup series win at the Good Sam 500 in Avondale, Ariz.
2. Among the winners this weekend in NCAA men’s basketball tournaments are Kentucky (SEC), North Carolina (ACC), Oregon (Pac-12), Kansas (Big 12), Michigan State (Big Ten), Seton Hall (Big East), Connecticut (American) and Fresno State (Mountain West).
1. The NCAA men’s basketball field of 68 is seeded Sunday evening with the top seeds going to Kansas, North Carolina, Oregon and Virginia.
Our topic of discussion: 1. And now the tournament begins ...
The action begins with four games that set the field from 68 to 64. By Thursday, the real show begins.
Some seeds were stunners, others not. So let’s start with the ones that weren’t surprises:
North Carolina has been up and down in a brutal Atlantic Coast Conference, but when it came down to it, the Tar Heels proved they were the best team in the league, taking down Virginia in the final on Saturday. So being a No. 1 seed is not a shock.
As a matter of fact, Virginia has been more consistent in the ACC this season. Getting to the final solidified a top seed for the Cavaliers and losing like they did to the Tar Heels in the ACC final didn’t hurt them, but enhanced the Tar Heels.
Kansas was also in a rough-and-tumble conference with the likes of Oklahoma, West Virginia and Iowa State and where most of the teams in the Big 12 were either around or over .500. To get out of there with the Big 12 title and gaining the top seed in the South Region was a handsome reward.
But that’s where the surprises begin – the seeding committee gave Kansas the overall No. 1 seed. Wouldn’t it have made more sense to put the Jayhawks in the Midwest Region instead of the South? And wouldn’t it have made more sense to keep North Carolina in the South Region and move Virginia to the East Region?
Every year we get this debate. It’s silly to move teams around like that when you drew the regions up and those three aforementioned schools make perfect sense to put in those “regions.” Kansas fans wouldn’t mind the trip to Chicago for the regional semifinals and finals. North Carolina fans wouldn’t be all that bothered to go to Louisville, really. And for Virginia fans, it’s I-81 to I-66 to I-95 and boom ... Philadelphia. That trip wasn’t going to be bother-some at all.
Now Oregon as a No. 1 seed in the West. I don’t really know about that one. I’m sure the Pac-12 fans would argue their conference may have been tougher than the Big Ten, though that’s a tough argument to make most any year.

Hanzel does it again at Senior AzaleaTwo-shotvictoryforformerU.S.SeniorAmateurchamp
By Danny HooDDaily News correspondent
Anyone seeking success at the Palatka Municipal Course need only talk to Doug Hanzel.
The 59-year-old physician from Savannah, Ga., clearly knows the winning formula at the local track, as he notched his second straight Senior Azalea title Sunday after-noon.
“If you try and overpower this course you’ll get into trouble … here it’s not how many birdies you make, it’s how many bogeys you can avoid making,” commented Hanzel after the win.
So it was for Hanzel, whose steady play throughout the 54-hole event gave him the victory while adding further to an already impressive

resume. The winner of the 2013 U.S. Senior Amateur and a five-time qualifi-er for the U.S. Senior Open, Hanzel shot 71-71-67, his one under par 209 total two shots clear of Apopka’s Doug
Snoap.Going into Sunday’s final round tied
with Snoap, first-round leader Randy Elliott and Mint Hill, North Carolina’s John Fritz, Hanzel stumbled early, tak-
ing a bogey on the first hole. But after going eagle-birdie on the front nine’s two par fives, Nos. 4 and 5, Hanzel righted the ship. His play was steady throughout most of the back nine, as he birdied Nos. 10 and 13 while taking a bogey on the Muni’s closing hole.
“I was never got myself into any real trouble out there today,” said Hanzel, “even though I missed three two foot-ers…how do you do that? ”
In the Super Senior (65 and older) battle, Casselberry veterinarian Rob Hess overcame a three-shot lead by defending champ Berger Warner to take the win. Starting on the back nine, Hess’ two birdie-one bogey back nine was followed up by three straight bird-ies on Nos. 3, 4 and 5. The birdie stretch erased the deficit and gave Hess a one-stroke lead he would take to the club-house.
“This tournament is absolutely one of my favorites in the entire state,” Hess said after his win. “The staff and crew on the course go out of their way to make you feel at home.”

Interlachen catcher Rachael Johnson tags Palatka’s Karlie Booth out trying to score Monday night.

Palatka Daily News
Maybe ... just maybe ... that corner the Palatka High School softball team has been looking to turn has arrived.
For the second time in as many years, the Panthers beat county rival
Interlachen, scoring an 11-6 win on Monday night to improve to 3-12 for the season.
“They’re all pumped up,” Panthers head coach Brent Coates said. “They played really good ball game. They made some great players in the field and after it was done, I asked them, ‘Hey, did you not have fun?’ You can see the smiles. We had a great time.”
Shayla Echols, who went the first 5 1/3 innings to collect her second win of the season, had an RBI double, while Karlie Booth and Kendall Hutchinson had RBI singles in a four-run third inning that gave the Panthers a 5-1 lead. The lead got to 6-1 before the Rams began to chip away, making it 6-5 before Echols, who walked two and
struck out one, was replaced by Kendell Moody. Moody went the final 1 2/3 innings to pick up her first save of the season. She collected two strike-outs and one walk and allowed five hits.
The Panthers put it away against Interlachen (10-6) in the seventh with five runs, highlighted by a two-run single by Kayla Booth, an RBI single from Karlie Booth and an RBI hit by Hutchinson.
Echols finished 3-for-5 with an RBI and two run scored, while Karlie Booth finished 2-for-5. Moody, Samantha Shepherd, Kayla Booth and Josie Denham had one hit each for the Panthers, who travel to Starke to face Bradford in a District 5-5A game tonight.
“The only thing I asked these girls was to take this one into (tonight),” said Coates, whose Panthers were humbled, 12-1, at home on Feb. 5 by the Tornadoes. “They said they would and I hope we’re going to play with the same feeling.”

Palatka Daily NewsHunter Davis threw a five-inning
shutout and Kolby Foshee and Jason Sweat powered a nine-hit offense as Interlachen blanked winless Jackson 11-0 in a District 2-4A game in Jacksonville on Monday.
Davis (2-1) struck out 11 and walked none, scattering four singles.
“He threw strikes, which is what I wanted,” said IHS coach Jeff Finch, whose team improved to 6-4 overall and 1-2 in the district. “We’re trying to set up our rotation for this week – we’ve got a lot of games – and we made the plays behind him.”
Foshee was 3-4 with three runs and two RBI, Sweat 2-4 with a dou-ble, a run and three RBI.
Davis, Darius Oliver, Kyle McCole and Hagen Masciale had one hit apiece. McCole scored twice and had two RBI.
n St. John Lutheran cruised to as 13-0 win over visiting Peniel Baptist Academy in a District 3-2A game in Ocala.
The Warriors (5-8, 3-5) were held to three hits, singles by Kenyon Varner, Vincent Dodge and Austin Spedden. Dodge (2-5) took the loss.
St. John improved to 12-2 and 5-1.

fifth out of 16 teams at the Hawks On The Hill Invitational at Lake Minneola High School, won by the hosts with 101 1/2 points. Palatka scored 58 points.
The day proved to be another big one for junior transfer Ka’Tia Seymour as the Panther won the 100-meter dash (11.72), the 200 (24.09) and helped the 4x100 relay team with Tazarryia Poole, Kari Rasher and Mikeria Colson to victory in 49.43.
St. Johns survives spring fever, Lake-SumterBy anDy HallPalatka Daily News
It happens every spring.Every spring break, more specifi-
cally, for the St. Johns River State College baseball team.
“I hate it,” said SJR State coach Ross Jones. “They get out of their routine. I want to call class on Tuesday.”
What was there to hate on
Monday?“We were not very good,” Jones
said. “We made base running mis-takes, threw to the wrong base, didn’t execute pitches. We gave up three 0-2 hits. I was not pleased with the overall effort.”
Anything to like?Sure. A 9-7 victory over Lake-
Sumter State in a Mid-Florida Conference game at Tindall Field.
“We’re 26-5 (overall) and 7-1.
That’s all that matters,” Jones said.The Vikings, who won 13-4 at
Lake-Sumter on Saturday, went ahead to stay Monday on Omar Villaman’s two-run triple with one out in the sixth inning. Cole Perry and Harlan Harris came around for a 6-4 lead and Villaman went on to score on a wild pitch. Villaman delivered an RBI single in a two-run seventh that pushed the lead to 9-6.
St. Johns needed everything it
could get on a night Lake-Sumter (9-20, 1-7) struck out 11 times, but went down in order only once. Closer Tyler Carr struck out five over the last two innings but even he had his struggles in the ninth, allowing a run on two hits before getting his eighth save.
“They’re well-coached. They don’t quit,” said Jones of the Lakehawks.

Michigan State has been a tough competitor this season and coming away with the Big Ten title was a sweet reward. The Spartans were 29-5 this season. Oregon’s Ducks fin-ished 28-6 and won their conference championship. But maybe it was the way Oregon dril led Utah that appeased the committee enough to put them at No. 1 ahead of Michigan State.
Michigan State has a pedigree and a ton of Final Four appearances. Oregon has had three Elite 8 appear-ances since 1960 and none as recently as its 2007 loss to national champion Florida.
Xavier and Villanova may have had a stronger case of being a top seed if they didn’t lose in the Big East Tournament. Same for Oklahoma had the Sooners only had another one-tenth of a second Friday night to beat West Virginia. C’est la vie. And yes, I’m upset to a degree that my alma mater, the Monmouth Hawks, got the shaft from this committee after scor-
ing a number of big wins early in the season, especially against Notre Dame and UCLA. But the MAAC wasn’t that strong and the one game the Hawks needed to win, they didn’t against Iona. So Iona goes and Monmouth doesn’t. I don’t have it in me to argue. I feel more sorry for Saint Mary’s of California and its 27-5 record that got snubbed.
The most dangerous team in the tournament in the lower seeds? If you guessed Kentucky Wildcats, go to the front of the line! It’s starting to feel an awful lot like 2014 when the Wildcats got going at the right time after the
SEC Tournament final loss to Florida, then swept their way to the national title game before losing to Connecticut.
Oh, and speaking of Connecticut – here ... we ... go ... again. It’s also got a 2014 flavor to it with the Huskies after they had to advance and survive their way through the American Athletic Conference. Connecticut is the ninth seed in the South Region and will face off with feisty Colorado first before a meeting on Saturday with the Kansas Jayhawks. Not say-ing an upset could happen, but it’s a favorite to possibly happen.
Unlike last year’s tournament when
it was Kentucky’s to win or lose ... and they did the latter against Wisconsin in the national semifinal ... this is a very, very wide-open tournament. A five- or six-seed could win this as easi-ly as a No. 1 seed. It’s what makes March Madness what it is.
So strap in and enjoy the tourna-ment. I always do. A lot of suspense ahead, even if your team didn’t land where you thought they’d land.

NIT BASKETBALL
Beacon, Beasleyfocused tonightFSU freshmen set for tournamentopening round against Davidson
Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE – Florida State freshmen Dwayne Bacon and Malik Beasley lived up to every expectation except one this season – get-ting back to the NCAA Tournament.
As the Seminoles (19-13) prepare to host Davidson (20-12) in the first round of the NIT tonight, the duo is looking at the upcoming tour-nament as a way to start playing for next season.
“It can help us a lot in the future. We’re a young team still. We have a lot of young talent coming in,” Bacon said. “It will help us get a feel for the postseason and what it is like. I would rather be playing than sitting at home and won-dering what are we going to do.”
Bacon and Beasley made the Atlantic Coast Conference’s All-Freshman team, averaging a combined 31 points per game. Bacon led the Seminoles in scoring (15.6 points) and rebounds (5.8) per game while Beasley averaged 15.4 points and 5.2 rebounds.
Both though had their problems late in the season as Florida State dropped five straight during a mid-February stretch to knock itself out of NCAA Tournament consideration.
Beasley scored in double figures in his first 24 games but then went through a stretch where he averaged just 8.6 in the next five games where Florida State went 1-4. In the past three games, the 6-foot-5 guard has returned to form, averag-ing 14.3 points and shooting nearly 50 percent from the field.
“It has been an up and down journey and focusing on the little things,” Beasley said. “It’s about taking winning and losing streaks in stride along with adjusting to new defensive schemes.”
Bacon struggled with shooting during confer-ence play (39.9 percent). Instead of trying to drive to the basket, where he said he was more effective, the 6-foot-7 guard too often tried to shoot from the perimeter, where he was 16 of 63.
n Florida could be without center John Egbunu against North Florida in the National Invitational Tournament.
Coach Mike White said Monday it’s unclear whether Egbunu will even travel with the Gators (19-14) to nearby Jacksonville for their first-round game tonight.
Egbunu tore a ligament in his right thumb dur-ing practice last week. The 6-foot-11 sophomore played both games in the Southeastern Conference Tournament, averaging 9.5 points and 7.5 rebounds.
White says Egbunu is uncertain to play against North Florida and that “there’s talk about surgery here in the very near future.”
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Ineffective UF kicker transferringGAINESVILLE — Florida coach Jim McElwain
says offensive lineman Travaris Dorsey and place-kicker Austin Hardin are transferring.
McElwain said Monday that both guys plan to play elsewhere in 2016.
McElwain says Dorsey, a 6-foot-2, 321-pound redshirt sophomore, is transferring to Division II Tuskegee in Alabama. Dorsey played in 11 games last season, mostly on special teams. He will be eli-gible to play immediately.
Hardin, a senior who is graduating in May, would be eligible to play elsewhere as a graduate transfer. Hardin missed nine of 14 field-goal attempts last season. He hit a game-winner against Tennessee in 2014 and another one against Vanderbilt last year. But he was mostly unreliable in his three years at Florida, missing 20 of 36 attempts. Four of those were blocked.
NBA
Bosh returns to Heat benchMIAMI — Chris Bosh returned to the Miami
Heat bench on Monday night, his first appearance since being sidelined by a blood clot last month.
Bosh was dressed in a gray sport coat and took a seat toward the end of the bench for a game against the Denver Nuggets. It was Bosh’s first time being seen at AmericanAirlines Arena since Feb. 9, Miami’s last home game before the All-Star break.
Bosh withdrew from the All-Star festivities in Toronto because of what was called a calf strain. It was later learned that he had a clot, the same problem that ended his season early a year ago.
Bosh released a statement last week saying he no longer has a clot in his leg. It’s unknown if he can play again this season.

Vikings end slide, salvage split with Blue Wave
The win went to Rhys Pollock (2-0), the second of four St. Johns pitchers. Starter Daniel Williams went five. Pollock worked a scoreless sixth, then gave way to Pearson McMahan after Lake-Sumter scored two runs and got runners to second and third with nobody out in the seventh. McMahan preserved a 7-6 lead with a grounder and two strikeouts, then stepped aside for Carr after a leadoff single in the eighth.
Villaman went 3-5 and had three RBI to
lead a 13-hit offense in which every SJR State starter had at least one hit, run or RBI. Perry had two doubles in five at-bats. Alec Dowell was 2-2 with an RBI, Nick Owens 2-6. The other hits were Wes Weeks’ solo home run, Hunter Alexander’s two-run single and Matthew Rhodes’ RBI single.
“We did have some good at-bats,” Jones said. “From the second through the fifth inning, I didn’t think we were very good. (Lake-Sumter starter John Radich) went to his changeup and we didn’t make the adjustment.”
Dowell is 6-for-6 so far in the Lake-Sumter series. He was 4-4 Saturday and homered along with Villaman, Alexander
and Jimbo Reemsnyder in the 13-4 romp.Dowell also doubled and finished with
four RBI. Villaman was 3-4 and had three RBI. Reemsnyder was 2-5. Rhodes and Owens both singled.
The Vikings led 8-1 through six innings and removed all doubt as to the outcome with a five-run ninth.
Andy Toelken (5-0) struck out seven and walked none over the first eight innings on his way to the win. He allowed 10 hits and four runs, one unearned.
“Andy pitched his tail off and we swung the bats well,” Jones said.
The Vikings return to Lake-Sumter on Wednesday.
n Winning pitcher Loris Molter walked seven, but struck out 10, and Savannah Lepanto went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI, lead-ing host Crescent City to a 10-7 victory over Peniel Baptist Academy for a season sweep of the Warriors.
With the game tied at 7-all in the fifth inning, the Raiders pulled off the double steal as Lindsy Dwigans stole home, while Ashley Hutchinson stole second. Lexii Roosa added an R B I s i n g l e t o b r i n g i n
Hutchinson to make it 9-7. Molter scored the final run in the sixth off a wild pitch.
Georgette Hobbs was 2-for-4 with a run scored and Emily Saccone was 2-for-2 with two runs scored. Sarah Hamling (one run, three RBI), Molter (two runs, one RBI), Kyleigh Noles (one RBI), Hannah Malphurs and Roosa (one RBI) had one hit each as the Raiders improved to 6-8.
For the Warriors, Ashley Spedden went 3-for-5 with two RBI, while Allyson Pfeil went 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Losing pitcher Paige Bryan, who had two walks and seven strikeouts, was 1-for-4. Abi Collier had three runs scored and an RBI for the Warriors.
Poole was third in the 100
(12.52) and 200 (26.16), while Abrielle Robertson finished third in the discus (93-foot-9 1/2) and throwing teammate Jar’Tiyona Melton placed fifth in both the discus (88-2) and shot put (31-5).
FLAG FOOTBALLn Kayla Hines returned an
interception 40 yards for the only Palatka touchdown in a 22-6 loss at Ocala West Port.
The Panthers (0-3) have not scored an offensive touchdown
this season, but PHS coach Darrell Polite is thinking posi-tively.
“We’re getting better,” he said. “I’ve got young kids and I’m going to keep working with them.”
The Legends (70 and older) Division found Ormond Beach’s Jim Carley riding the strength of his two under par 68 second round in securing the victory.
Taking a two-shot lead into
Sunday, Carley was consistent as well, firing one over par 71, giving him a five-shot spread over runnerup and defending Legends champ Brian Sachs. Carley’s final tally read 75-68-71—214, while Sachs finished at 7 3 - 7 2 - 7 4 — 2 1 9 . W i l l i a m Liberato of The Villages shot 74-72-79—225 for third place.
The Senior Division top five
looked like this: Hanzel, Snoap (74-70-67—211), Elliott (69-73-72—214), Fritz (73-69-72—214) and Gladstone, Oregon’s Denny Taylor (75-70-71—216).
Hess shot 70-72-68—210 for the Super Senior triumph, fol-lowed closely by Warner (71-68-72—211). Next was Newtown, C o n n e c t i c u t ’ s S h a w n McLoughlin (73-71-70—214),
former ABC golf commentator Steve Melnyk (72-71-75—218) and Wilkinson, Indiana’s Ted Smith (73-75-70—218).
A field of 109 golfers from all over the country participated in this year’s tournament. Some 220 golfers are signed up to play in the Florida Azalea Amateur Friday through Sunday at the Palatka course.

An 0-6 start to the conference season and sliding through a sev-en-game losing streak are places no program wants to be.
Yet, the St. Johns River State College softball team was experi-encing the latter and one more loss away from the former. But coach Jill Semento saw a confident group b e f o r e t h e s e c o n d g a m e o f Saturday’s Mid-Florida Conference matchup with rival Florida State College-Jacksonville.
“The girls had a lot of confidence
in them and I had some confidence in them, too,” Semento said. “I walked out to them before we played the second game and they were telling me that the game was all but in the bag. They came out and had a ton of fun and they were pretty laid back about it.”
After losing the opening game at home in the doubleheader, 12-8, the Vikings bounced back with an 8-7 win in the second game to stop the seven-game losing streak and improve to 18-15 for the season and more importantly, get in the win
column at 1-5 in the MFC.Skye Davenport (4-2) gutted out
the complete-game victory, allow-ing nine hits, walking four and striking out one.
In the second inning, Hannah Sommers and Amanda Peck each had RBI s ingles before Haley Wildes delivered a two-run double to close out a five-run frame. In the fifth, Stacey Wilson smacked a solo home run, a Sydney Shows RBI off an error and an Amanda Peck RBI single gave the Vikings an 8-5 lead.
The Blue Wave (22-5, 1-3) got
two runs in the sixth, but could not get the tying run.
Peck was 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI, while Kayla Kight finished 2-for-2 with a run, Wilson was 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI and Savannah Montgomery fin-ished 2-for-4 with a run. Wildes, Shows and Sommers had one hit each.
In the first game, the Blue Wave cracked 22 hits in taking down the Vikings for what was FSC-J coach Jami Lind’s 1,200th career win. Jess Delawader cracked two home
runs and Maddi Johnson, who was 5-for-7 with three runs and three RBI in the doubleheader, also hit a home run.
For the Vikings, losing pitcher Chris Marasa (8-5) went 3-for-3 and Shelby Griffis ended up 3-for-4 with four RBI. Shows, Kight , Sommers and Alandra Resendes had one hit each.
The Vikings travel to Daytona State today for another conference doubleheader, this time with the Falcons (22-8, 4-1). Game time is 4 p.m.

NCAA WOMEN
UConn, Carolina,Notre Dame, Baylorhead tourney fieldFlorida among nine SEC representatives
By Doug FeinBergAssociated Press
NEW YORK — Breanna Stewart made it her goal to win four titles in her career at UConn. Now she and her Huskies are six wins away from accomplishing that unprecedented feat.
“Honestly, I don’t feel that much pressure,” Stewart said. “The pressure was more last year or my sophomore season, just because I needed those to finish this one. Now, it’s just this is it. This is my last try.”
The Huskies haven’t really talked about the history they could make over the next three weeks.
“They know obviously that this is an opportunity for them to win the fourth national championship. They know that,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “And they’ve known it since the first time we met at half court there for the first day of practice. The only other time it has been mentioned is in passing when they do something stupid and I say, ‘Teams that are trying to do something great, they don’t do that stuff, not in March.”
UConn’s road to a fourth straight national champion-ship will begin at home.
The Huskies were the top overall seed in the women’s NCAA Tournament that was revea led Monday n ight . UConn (32-0) won’t have to leave the state until the Final Four in Indianapolis. The Huskies are in the Bridgeport Regional.
Joining the Huskies as the other No. 1 seeds are South Carolina, Notre Dame and Baylor. UConn has already beaten the Gamecocks and Irish this season. The Huskies would face Baylor on April 3 in the national semifinals if both teams advance that far.
Both UConn and Tennessee won three straight women’s titles, but no women’s team has four consecutive champi-onships. The UCLA men’s team won seven in a row. A title this year would give Auriemma 11 in his career, breaking a tie with vaunted UCLA men’s basketball coach John Wooden.
First up for the Huskies, who have been a No. 1 seed for 10 straight years, is 16-seed Robert Morris. The Colonials won the NEC championship.
The top four seeds in each region will host the opening two rounds except for No. 4
Michigan State, which has a c o n f l i c t s o f i f t h - s e e d Mississippi State will take over as the host.
Tennessee earned a No. 7 seed, the lowest in school his-tory. The Lady Vols, who have p l a y e d i n e v e r y N C A A Tournament, will face Green Bay in the opening round at Arizona State.
“Is it where we usually are? No, but it’s a great spot for us to go to work,” Tennessee coach Holly Warlick said.
While Tennessee has to head west, fourth-seeded Stanford could be heading east. Tara VanDerveer’s team hosts former player Jennifer Azzi and her San Francisco Bay Area program in the opening round. If they can advance to the Sweet 16, the C a r d i n a l w i l l p l a y i n Kentucky. The third-seeded Wildcats won’t have to leave the area until the Final Four. They host the opening two rounds and then would play in Rupp Arena for the regional.
“For our team to work hard enough and be able to earn a top-16 seed and host in Memorial Coliseum is great,” Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell said. “So they had to earn that and I am grateful the committee put us in Lexington. We are going to have to really work hard to get a victory in the first round, but the prospects to get to play in Lexington for the Sweet 16 is exciting.”
Tennessee, Kentucky and South Carolina are three of nine SEC teams to make the field. That ties the Big East (2011) for the most ever in the women’s tournament.
TWO-BID IVY LEAGUEDays after announcing the
first Ivy League postseason t ournament , the l eague earned the first at-large bid for either a men’s or women’s team with Princeton earning an 11-seed. The Tigers, who will face West Virginia, lost to Penn twice during the regular season — their only confer-ence blemishes.
“I’m bursting with pride for my team and for this great University. Princeton just became the first team in Ivy League history to earn an at-large bid,” Princeton coach Courtney Banghart said. “That’s something that will mean so much to me for forev-er. As an Ivy League alum, I share in the significance of this day with the many great scholar-athletes and coaches that are a part of this special league.”
Penn is a 10-seed and will face Washington in the open-ing round.
