Rocky Bevis got into the business

as a teenager riding alongside his late
father, Russell Bevis, when funeral
homes provided ambulance services.
That practice ended in 1972. So
have his days of apprenticeship.
Bevis carries on the family name,
as the president and owner of one of
the citys most highly regarded funeral homes. On Tuesday, the family
business took home the award everyone in the room wanted Business of
the Year.
A deliberate pause came before
the announcement, followed by rousing applause. Bevis seemed humbled
as he stood before a room of more
than 350 people at the University
Center Club as Bevis Funeral Home
was recognized by the Greater TallaSee CHAMBER 6A
City and county officials Tuesday

pledged to increase police visibility in the
community and expedite the hiring of 15
more officers over the summer after a rash
of shootings over the weekend.
Addressing what they say is a long-established violent crime problem in Tallahassee accentuated by three shootings Saturday that left one man dead and two minors injured, the hiring of extra Tallahassee
Police Department officers will start in
June ahead of the budgeting process, which
is completed in September.
DJuante Tucker, 22, was killed in a
shooting in the intersection of Preston and
Dewey Streets. Less than two hours later a
man sprayed bullets from a car into a Putnam Drive home and a 14-year-old and a 16year-old were injured in a Ridge Haven
Road incident.
Tuckers death marked the sixth homicide in Leon County this year and comes
soon after a statewide report showed the
county had Floridas highest crime rate. No
arrests have been made, but police say the
shootings are related to a gang nexus and
involved gang members.
It was the third fatal shooting in two
weeks.
Officers who have already been in a trainee program will hit the beat July 3, but City
Manager Anita Favors Thompson is likely
to approve the hiring and training process
for another 15 officers at the City

Red Hills Report on the Radio
School district prepares

to lose Wills, Greenberg
Amanda Claire Curcio
@MandaCurcio on Twitter
A top administrator from Leon

County Schools will be leaving the
district, and another may follow
soon.
Assistant Superintendent Barbara Wills will serve as the new vice
president of administrative services at Tallahassee Community
College, and Stuart Greenberg, an
LCS divisional director, has applied
to superintendent positions in Florida and out-of-state.
The timing of their decisions to
look outside the district is purely
happenstance, they both said.
Losing two key administrators is
a big blow to LCS, but Superintendent Jackie Pons attributes their
recruitment to the entire districts
hard work.
When you build a strong team
this is what happens, Pons said.
Together weve built a model that
other school districts take a look at
and then try to implement.
Wills who has been with the district for the past nine years and was
assistant superintendent for the
last five will oversee several programs at TCC, including financial
aid and scholarships, the business
and budget offices, human resources and grant management.
This promotion is a natural next
step, said Wills. Continuing my
career at TCC is consistent with my
belief in public education. Im

grateful for this opportunity.
Wills is the third heavyweight
TCC President Jim Murdaugh
plucked from the public service
sector in the last few
years.
In
December,
Murdaugh recruited
Heather Mitchell
CEO and president
of the United Way of
the Big Bend at the
time for TCC Foun- Wills
dations executive director position. Kimberly Moore,
then CEO of Workforce Plus, joined
TCC in 2012 as the workforce development vice president.
Wills may not be the only LCS administrator to leave, however.
Greenberg threw his hat in the
ring for the superintendent position
in Nashville, Tenn., as well as Indian
River and Palm Beach counties in
Florida. His applications can be
found on the schools websites.
Greenberg, an educational leader for more than three decades, has
been key in schools adoption of the
Common Core Curriculum and refining instructional methods in the
county.
We were very fortunate to get
him, said Pons. He was recruited
by everybody in the state. And every year we get to keep him is a
plus.
He can identify quality teaching quickly, he added. He created
a risk-free environment where best
teacher practices emerged.
Greenberg said that his decision
to apply to other districts was a way
for him to explore opportunities to

share what (he) learned over the
years and that it wasnt an indicator
of discontent with the district,
whose school-construction projects
and practices have been the subject
of an FBI investigation since August.
Im not applying for applyings
sake, said Greenberg. A few districts reached out to me, and I took
the opportunity.
I love Leon County, he said. I
want to continue to build upon my
leadership knowledge.
Greenberg is still in the running
for the superintendent position with
Metro Nashville Public Schools.
The board of education intended to
release a short list of finalists from
a pool of nearly 50 candidates yesterday, but instead pushed the deadline to July 6.
Like Wills, Greenberg declined
to speculate about running in Leon
Countys superintendent race next
year, even if Pons who hasnt decided whether he will run is out of
the picture.
Its too hypothetical and far-off
to even consider, Greenberg said.
Its an honor to be in this district,
and I fully support Jackie.
Wills departure and Greenbergs possible absence will create
a void that the district must address. Pons will present a reorganization plan to the board early next
month.
This could be a chance for new
leadership though, he said. A
chance for someone to come up and
show us what they can do.

WASHINGTON Florida GOP

Sen. Marco Rubio voted Tuesday
against a bill to end the National Security Agencys controversial bulk
collection of Americans phone data.
The bill, called the USA Freedom
Act, passed 67-32 and now goes to
President Barack Obama, who has
said he will sign it. The measure, already passed by the House, reauthorizes programs that were originally part of the Patriot Act.
Florida Democratic Sen. Bill
Nelson reluctantly voted for the
bill. He has said he would have preferred to maintain the program but
feared that letting the entire Patriot
Act lapse would be disastrous.
Rubio, a 2016 presidential candidate whos made homeland security
a key theme of his campaign, said in

the days leading up to the vote that
limiting NSAs authority would endanger the U.S.
Allowing any of these programs
to expire is a mistake, he said Sunday. Our country is now poised to
be less safe and Americans at greater risk from growing terrorist
threats.
The issue is expected to surface
in the presidential race, with five
senators running for the White
House.
GOP Texas Sen. Ted Cruz voted
for the Freedom Act, which extends
through 2019 key sections of the Patriot Act anti-terrorism law that expired at midnight Sunday.
Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul
and Vermont independent Bernie
Sanders joined Rubio in voting
against the bill. They also are running for president. Unlike Rubio,
Paul and Sanders opposed the law

primarily on privacy grounds.
Passage of the bill means the
NSA will no longer be allowed to
continue its mass phone data collection program. Instead, phone companies will retain the data. The NSA
will be allowed to obtain information about targeted individuals with
permission from a federal court.
The Senates hard-fought passage of the USA Freedom Act represents a major victory for privacy
rights advocates in Congress. It
shows that those advocates within
the GOP have the upper hand over
traditional Republican defense
hawks including Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

Act without changes.

School to graduate 27 valedictorians

Associated Press
OCALA Vanguard High School

in Ocala could be called Valedictorian High.
On Friday, the school will have 27
valedictorians at its 2015 graduation ceremony, a figure that
amounts to 7.3 percent of the 370
seniors at Vanguard, the Ocala StarBanner reported.
Since 2012, Vanguard has named
99 valedictorians, an average of
nearly 25 per year.
Its not that the school is being
lax. All 28 students last year earned
straight As in 24 college-level
courses and had perfect 5.0 weighted grade point averages.

This year, students had to clear
greater hurdles. That included scoring at least a 29 on the ACT or a 1,290
on the SAT.
They also had to complete 100
community service hours and pass
state-mandated Algebra 1, geometry and U.S. history exams.
The school could make the valedictorian distinction even more difficult to obtain by factoring the
grades for all electives courses as
well, but a Marion school committee opted against that choice recently.
The committee said it wanted to

give students a template to become
valedictorian, while also trying to
eliminate the possibility of favoritism by teachers and competition for
the top spot.
Each school district can develop
its own valedictorian policy.
Some districts (in Florida) no
longer even name valedictorians,
said Cheryl Etters, a Florida Department of Education spokeswoman.
At Gainesville High School, for
example, each student with perfect
grades receives a medal and is
named a distinctive scholar.

Rep. Grayson wants kids to live with him

Mike Schneider
Associated Press
ORLANDO U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson wants his four children ages 10
to 16 to live with him, claiming their
mothers behavior has been bizarre, aggressive and inappropriate, according to papers filed last
week in a Florida divorce court.
Grayson said in the court papers
that he should be the sole decisionmaker for the childrens education,
medical issues and activities because Lolita Grayson is unwilling to
communicate with him on those
matters. He accused Lolita Grayson
of being abusive to the children, using money designated for child support for her own use and inade-
quately taking care of the children.

He also claimed Lolita Grayson has
physically blocked his car and
banged on the hood and had at times
denied him contact with his children.
The couple have a 16-year-old, a
14-year-old and 10-year-old twins, as
well as an adult child who is not subject to the custody dispute.
Shared parental responsibility
is not a viable outcome in this case,
Grayson said in the court filing.
Last weeks court filing over custody shows that an agreement
reached last April to annul the
Graysons 24-year union hasnt
drained the acrimony from what
has been a contentious, public
breakup.
The Graysons agreed to the annulment after Alan Grayson found

proof that Lolita Grayson hadnt yet
divorced her first husband when
they had a wedding in 1990.
For her part, Lolita Grayson
asked for shared parental responsibility and child support, and that
Alan Grayson pay her attorneys
fees. She also asked a judge to stop
Grayson from selling any assets,
saying she needed time to figure out
the extent of the assets to which
she has claims to.
Over the course of the parties
29-year relationship, which included their 24-year marriage, the parties have accumulated an enormous
fortune, Lolita Grayson said in a
filing last month.

LEGISLATURE
BILL COTTERELL/DEMOCRAT
Senate Appropriations Chairman Tom Lee, R-Brandon, speaks with Capitol reporters after his committee approved its health-care
legislation on Tuesday.
House panel advances

$436M tax cut package
Bill would reduce levy on cable and phone, add sales tax exemptions
Sean Rossman and Bill Cotterell
Democrat writers
Floridians would be paying less on

their cable and telephone bills and could
take advantage of several sales-tax holidays under legislation approved by a
House committee Tuesday morning.
In the face of a budget impasse
spurred by a debate over health-insurance funding for low-income Floridians,
the House Finance and Tax Committee
voted for a $436 million tax-cut package, a
pared-down version of the $690 million
bill the chamber passed during the regular session.
The package combines $273 million in
state and local cuts in the upcoming fiscal
year and about $163 million in one-time,
non-recurring trims in 2016-17.
Its not our money, this is the peoples
money, said Rep. Ray Rodrigues, R-Fort
Myers. The best way we can be a steward
of that dollar is to send as much money
back to them as we possibly can.
The package includes a 0.9 percent
permanent reduction of the communications services tax, a fee levied against cable bills and cellphone bills. A customer
with a $100 bill would save $10 per year.
Its not our money, this is the peoples money.

The best way we can be a steward of that dollar
is to send as much money back to them as we
possibly can.
REP. RAY RODRIGUES, R-Fort Myers
The bill would slash the communications

tax again in 2016-17 for a one-time 1.8 percent reduction.
Lowering cell and cable costs has been
an issue supported by Gov. Rick Scott,
who proposed curtailing the tax by 3.6
percent in his budget proposal. The
Houses original tax package included
that 3.6 percent reduction.
The plan carries various sales tax exemptions for concession stands that support schools, agricultural tools, equipment used for metal recycling and gun
club memberships among others. It incorporates sales tax holidays for back-toschool shopping, small businesses and
college textbooks, another Scott initiative.
The committee didnt go without mentioning trying to fix the states health care
system during its two-hour meeting.
Members voted down an amendment proposed by Rep. Jose Javier Rodrigues, DMiami, that would close a corporate tax
loophole used by out-of-state corporations and use the estimated $490 million in
new money to increase reimbursements
to hospitals and draw in more federal
health care funds.
Rep. Frank Artiles, R-Miami, said the
bill would only fund a problematic Medicaid system. The amendment, in my opinion, is a tax increase and will undo years
of work to provide business and business
friendly environment in the state of Florida, he said.
The revision of the original plan touted
by many House Republicans during the
session came after conversations with the
Senate, said committee Chairman Rep.

Ethics board to address campaign rebates

Byron Dobson
@byrondobson on Twitter
Tallahassees Ethics Board

on Thursday plans to devote a
chunk of its meeting to finalizing its by-laws, but it also will
begin addressing a new campaign refund program.
Last November, 67 percent
of voters approved a referendum calling for ethics and campaign contribution reforms.
The vote was the result of a
campaign of Citizens for Ethics
Reform with a big boost from
Represent.Us, a Massachusetts
firm promoting ethics reform
across the country.
Following last falls victory,
Represent.Us boasted that Tallahassee made history by ap-
proving the first city Anti-Corruption Act in the country.

Thats despite
the fact Tallahassee has never
had an elected
official indicted
on ethics-related
charges.
On Thursday,
the board will Meadows-Keefe
discuss how to
implement an element of the
referendum, the campaign finance refund program. The referendum also called for the creation of an ethics code, the creation of the Ethics Board and
limited the maximum campaign
contribution from $1,000 to
$250.
The program allows campaign contributors to get a one-
time-per-election cycle rebate

of up to $25 rebate from the city
if they can verify that they gave
that much or more to local candidates. The rebate applies only
to one $25 or more contribution.
Tallahassee is believed to be
the only city in the country allowing this in its charter.
Its designed for individual
voters to hopefully get more engaged, said Julie MeadowsKeefe, the citys ethics officer.
Meadows-Keefe explained
that a donor can write a check to
a candidate to city elections
only, and then apply for a rebate
of up to $25 for doing so. The refund would come from taxpayers through a city fund. The
Ethics Board has included
$20,000 in its budget request for
next year, but that funding has
yet to be addressed by city commissioners.

The Ethics Board will discuss how to implement the program, which will include coordinating with the Supervisor of
Elections Office since that office will have to instruct candidates on sending receipts to donors verifying their contributions. The meeting begins at
noon in the Tallahassee Room at
City Hall.
The election is not until
2016; were laying the groundwork now, Meadows-Keefe
said. Voters will need to be educated on this. We dont plan to
roll that out until June 2016.
The goal, she said, is to kick
off the program after the qualifying period and have it run
through April 2017.
Meadows-Keefe, City Clerk

Jim Cooke and Ben Wilcox, research director for Integrity
Florida, will bring the board up
to speed on Thursday.
Wilcox, along with Dan
Krasner, former executive director of Integrity Florida,
were instrumental in getting
the referendum on the ballot.
The organization Represent.Us,
helped bankroll the campaign.
Its very unique; the start of
what I hope will be a national

Panacea residents: Vote yes

T

panacea is simply: a

Few of us may ever discover
such an elusive elixir for fixing
everything, but for the many of us
fortunate enough to live in, or to
visit, the coastal charms of Wakulla
Countys town of Panacea, the secrets to a great quality of life are
revealed every day.
That reality is
one of the key reasons many good

Panacea into a real

positive economic growth to benefit everyone.
As debate is waged about becoming a city, some misguided
opponents are projecting fear in
the guise of facts in a cynical effort
to stop this appropriate move forward for our community.
Here are the facts and the truth.
Some opponents allege that incorporation will cause tax increases but no new taxes will be
imposed on the people of Panacea.
Our residents are already paying
the county for services at about
$399,000 annually, but we have no
unified voice to speak for us about
how those fees are assessed or
spent.
As a city, Panacea will have its
own elected commission to represent our interests and to negotiate
an inter-governmental agreement
to pay for services provided to our
residents. This cannot legally be
negotiated until incorporation is a
reality and a commission is elected.
A second fear posing as fact is
that a city government would impose a new burden on our residents. State legislative staffs paper analysis projected the cost of
being a city could be $145,000 in the
first year. But the reality is that
Panacea already has qualified vol-

unteers offering to act as our city

clerk, city manager and our commissioners all to be paid merely
$1 per year, to both serve and save
our community.
Space for our city hall has
been offered for $1 per year as
well. So Panacea city government
will be a bare bones, effective and
efficient operation focused on serving our people. The same selfless
spirit that powers our Panacea
Volunteer Fire Department is a
wonderful example of the spirit
that will motivate Panaceas other
public servants.
The final fear being floated is
that this would add another layer of
government in Wakulla County.
The truth is that the people of Panacea will finally have a voice to en-
sure that we are well-represented

on decisions that affect us all. A
Panacea city government allows us
to make our own decisions, create
our own destiny and better enjoy
the freedoms ensured by our nations precious democracy.
For those of us blessed to live
here, weve found our true Panacea. Now its up to all of us to preserve and protect it best by becoming a bold new city. Vote yes

your vote by 7 p.m. on June 30 to

EDITORIAL
BOARD
The letter in Fridays paper about

Scott Maddoxs My View about
creating a community school at Wesson missed the intent of the article.
I acknowledge Wesson is not totally empty. The point is, we have a
multi-million-dollar facility sitting in
a community with severe needs and
it is not being used to meet those
needs. That is what community
schools do.
Working in the South City area for
over a year, I can tell you it is good

that some young people are getting
early childhood education in that
facility. It is not good that others in
the neighborhood are not.
Is the highest and best use of a
building that was designed as a
school to provide desk space for
support staff and itinerant workers
who are somewhere else most of the
time? I think not.
I believe the point of Maddoxs
article was that we should look at the
use of Wesson School and see if the
facility can better meet the needs of
south side residents.

Medical marijuana law

not broad enough
Supposedly a very specific form
of marijuana will be available to
qualified patients by the end of the
year. As excited as I am about this
turning point in our state, I am as
equally skeptical that its actually
going to happen. Im even more dis-
turbed that people think this is going

to help the majority of the very sick
and suffering in Florida.
As a retired LEO, I was a correctional sergeant for eight years in
Taylor County, and could benefit
from medical marijuana but not
this limited law passed by our legislature.
Due to attacks while on duty, I
suffer from PTSD and chronic pain.
The language of the petition will
allow for people suffering from
debilitating conditions such as ALS,
Crohns, cancer, HIV, PTSD, Parkinsons, MS and more. Most importantly, its going to put the medical decisions back into doctors hands!
The medical marijuana amendment in 2014 received over 3 million
votes half a million more than our
current governor received.
Please consider signing the petition because this law is not enough
for the vast majority of Floridians
who are extremely ill.

We are showing we want to help
those of us who have had some
bad breaks. It could be any of us.

There is a lot of natural light from
all the windows in this spacious facility with many hallways. There are
bright colors. The dining area leads
to a covered patio. Beyond to the
right was a basketball court that was
holding rainwater from an afternoon
downpour.
You walk into a glassed-in lobby.
Your possessions are heated to 130

degrees for six hours to kill any bed

want.
If you are not just passing
through, you will be referred to a
case worker who will try to get you
on the path to a place of your own.
There is a limit of 60 days stay in
one year.
There is an unrelated transitional
shelter, Hope Community, just a
block away. The area is wide open
with lawns and parking lots with
other nonprofit and governmental
neighbors like Leon County Jail,
Sheriffs Office, school district headquarters, Goodwill and an arts center. I didnt see loiterers or litter as I
drive around slowly.
You can ride the city bus for free
to go to there (Get off at W. Pensacola and Dupree), or walk the five
blocks south from the old shelter if
you went there. The check-in time
limit has been pushed back an hour
to 8 p.m.
The lobby is staffed by three
shifts. Cellphones are allowed. There
is no mandatory religious teaching
(in some shelters women are told to

marry and obey their husbands).
There appeared a laissez-faire attitude by staff, but then there wasnt
much to correct except maybe the
couple canoodling in the corner outside the dining room.
Most residents appear to be in
their 20s and 30s. There are a few
elderly. A few of various ages were
in wheelchairs. Guests dressed casually, with clothes that seemed clean
and in good repair. They were polite
to us and each other so far as I could
see.
There will have to be a lot of
sweeping and mopping and window
cleaning to keep this building sparkling.
The residents appeared to be
standing straighter and with more
dignity than I would see from numerous visits to the old shelter over
some 20 years. A clean and sparking
residence will do that for you.
Thank you, Rick Kearney, for
financing a lot of the construction

FCCs misguided approach to the Internet
t took 46 years for electricity to

reach 25 percent of the U.S. population. The telephone took 35
years, radio 31 years and television
26 years.
The Internet took only seven
years to reach a quarter of Americans. Today nearly 80 percent of
Americans and Floridians have highspeed Internet access in their
homes.
This phenomenal
growth and adoption
is due in large part
to the unfettered
nature of Internet
innovation in America. For two decades,
the government has
used a light touch in
regulating the InJulio Fuentes
ternet, in contrast to
My View
the heavy hand of
regulation on the
monopoly telephone industry during
most of the 20th century.
The old way of reasoning called
for a regulated monopoly system to
eliminate the confusion of duplicate
wiring systems that could not connect calls between the two (and thus
requiring each household to subscribe to two systems and have two
phones).
Todays Internet world is entirely
different. Consumers have choices.
Nationwide, 42 percent of households use cable service for highspeed Internet and 33 percent use
wireless service, according to the
U.S. Census Bureau. The phone companies serve 21 percent through DSL
and 8 percent through fiber optics.
Nearly 5 percent of households rely
on satellite service, and 1 percent
uses dial-up service. This demonstrates a healthy level of competition, with no one service dominating
and multiple choices available.
So it is perplexing to understand
why the Federal Communications
Commission recently decided to
reclassify Internet services as a
utility and thus impose the heavy
hand of regulations designed for the
1930s monopoly phone market.
Imposing government regulations

and red tape will not help bring Internet service to those pockets of
our state and nation that do not have
it.
What it will do is impose higher
state and local fees on Internet service. Gov. Rick Scott warned of
these consequences in advance of
the FCC ruling. He said that regulating the Internet as a utility would
cost consumers billions of dollars a
year while stifling innovation and
job creation in the technology industry. Consumer taxes could rise past
$18 billion a year.
We should not lose sight of the
lost innovation cost, either. No longer might entrepreneurs be able to
see a need, create a product or service to meet that need and put it into
the marketplace, letting consumers
decide whether it works for them.
Regulation would require that new
ideas be submitted to the government, where after long deliberation
a decision would determine whether
or not consumers would have access
to a new product or service.
The Florida State Hispanic Cham-
ber of Commerce represents 3 million Hispanic Americans, many of

whom are employed by minorityowned businesses. A large percentage of them rely on high-speed networks to conduct business, and the
high-quality service they enjoy
could be jeopardized by the FCCs
new rules.
Now that the FCC has ruled, we
need to look to Congress for the
solution to return our nation to an
environment of Internet innovation
and growth. Already some of our
elected leaders are working on bipartisan legislation that will preserve the open nature of the Internet
and continue the stunning growth
that it has brought to our economy
and job market.
The system works it has grown
at an incredible rate. Congress needs
to ensure we do not follow the FCCs
giant step backward.

Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, which he founded

WASHINGTON Commencement season

brings a respite from the sinister childishness rampant on campuses. Attacks on
freedom of speech come from the professoriate, that herd of independent minds, and
from the ever-thickening layer of university administrators who keep busy constricting freedom in order to fine-tune campus atmospherics.
The attacks are childish because they
infantilize students who flinch from the
intellectual free-for-all of adult society.
When Brown Universitys
tranquility of conformity
was threatened by a woman
speaker skeptical about the
rape culture on campuses, students planned a safe
space for those who would
be traumatized by exposure
to skepticism. Judith Shulevitz, writing in The New
York Times, reported that
George F. Will
the space had cookies,
The
coloring books, bubbles,
Washington
Play-Doh, calming music,
Post
pillows, blankets and a
video of frolicking puppies.
The attack on free expression is sinister
because it asserts that such freedom is not
merely unwise but, in a sense, meaningless.
Free speech is more comprehensively and
aggressively embattled now than ever before in American history, largely because of
two 19th-century ideas. One is that history
actually, History, a proper noun has a
mind of its own. The other is that most people do not really have minds of their own.
Progressives frequently disparage this
or that person or idea as on the wrong side
of history. They regard history as an autonomous force with its own laws of unfolding development: Progress is wherever
history goes. This belief entails disparagement of human agency or at least that of
most people, who do not understand historys implacable logic and hence do not get
on historys right side. Such people are
crippled by false consciousness. Fortunately, a saving clerisy, a vanguard composed of the understanding few, know
where history is going and how to help it get
there.
One way to help is by molding the minds
of young people. The molders believe that
the sociology of knowledge demonstrates
that most people do not make up their
minds, society does this. But progressive
minds can be furnished for them by controlling the promptings from the social environment. This can be done by making campuses into hermetically sealed laboratories.
In The Promise of American Life
(1909), progressivisms canonical text, Herbert Croly said, The average American
individual is morally and intellectually
inadequate to a serious and consistent conception of his responsibilities as a democrat. National life should be a school,
with the government as the stern but caring
principal: The exigencies of such schooling
frequently demand severe coercive measures, but what schooling does not? Unregenerate citizens can be saved many
costly perversions, in case the official
school-masters are wise, and the pupils
neither truant nor insubordinate. For a
survey of todays campus coercions, read
Kirsten Powers The Silencing: How the
Left is Killing Free Speech.
In Kindly Inquisitors (1993), Jonathan
Rauch showed how attacks on the free market in speech undermine three pillars of
American liberty. They subvert democracy,
the culture of persuasion by which we decide who shall wield legitimate power. (Progressives advocate government regulation
of the quantity, content and timing of political campaign speech.) The attacks undermine capitalism markets registering the
freely expressed choices by which we allocate wealth. And the attacks undermine
science, which is how we decide what is
true. (Note progressives insistence that the
science about this or that is settled.)
For decades, much academic ingenuity
has been devoted to jurisprudential theorizing to evade the First Amendments majestic simplicity about no law abridging the
freedom of speech. We are urged to balance this freedom against competing, and
putatively superior, considerations such as
individual serenity, institutional tranquility
or social improvement.
On campuses, the right of free speech
has been supplanted by an entitlement to
what Greg Lukianoff of the Foundation for
Individual Rights in Education calls a right
to freedom from speech deemed uncongenial. This entitlement is buttressed by
trigger warnings against spoken microaggressions that lacerate the delicate sensibilities of individuals who are encouraged
to be exquisitely, paralyzingly sensitive.
In a booklet for the Encounter Broadside series, Lukianoff says sensitivitybased censorship on campus reflects a
broader and global phenomena. It is the
demand for coercive measures to do for our
mental lives what pharmacology has done
for our bodies the banishment or mitigation of many discomforts. In the social milieu fostered by todays entitlement state,
expectations quickly generate entitlements.
Students are taught to expect intellectual
comfort, including the reinforcement of
their beliefs, or at least those that conform
to progressive orthodoxies imbibed and
enforced on campuses. Until September,
however, the culture of freedom will be safe
from its cultured despisers.

We want people to
post anything they
think makes us a cool
city, Bono said. And
wed love people to post
through that Sunday
night (June 14) when the
winners
are
announced.
The city is also encouraging people to
contribute to a GoFundMe site, set up by
TJ Lewis of Urban Tallahassee. The money
raised will be used to
defray the $800 per student travel expenses of
the 27 members of Distinguished Young Gentlemen, a program for
young black men whose
success story is one of
the three tenets of Tallahassees application for
All America City status.

Tax
Continued 3A
Matt Gaetz, R-Shalimar. It

included some remnants
from the original bill, like
a sales tax exemption for
military personnel who
buy vehicles overseas and
bring them to Florida, but
eliminates a July 4 sales
tax holiday for guns, ammunition and camping
equipment.
I believe this tax cut
would help the job creators in our state, the businesses in our state, Gaetz
said. This is a diversion
of money from the generosity of the taxpayers of
Florida into struggling

Freedom 93 Regional Manager Barry Kaye believes the stations affiliation with the Bucs is the perfect match.
A lot of people look at the Bucs as

FSU south, the NFL version of FSU,
so it is very exciting for us.
We thought this would

be a good fit. A newer station, it has a very strong
(FM) signal and it doesnt
hurt that we drafted Winston and we also have
the voice of the Seminoles

in Gene, Ryan said.
We are very, very excited. Tallahassee has
been an important market
for us.
Freedom 93 is one of 14
radio stations in Florida
contracted to broadcast
Buccaneers games, according to Ryan. Owned
by Magic Broadcasting,
based in Panama City,
Freedom 93 features a
news, talk, sports format.
It is also home to Florida
Gators football and mens
basketball.
Winston, the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner who
also led the Seminoles to

Ocoee Democrat Rep.
Randolph Bracy opposed
the bill, saying its too
early since the House and
Senate are far apart on a
budget compromise.
We dont even know
where everything is going
to shake out as far as the
budget is concerned, he
said. So to pass a tax cut
package when we may be
looking at a budget shortfall, I think is a little bit
premature.
for expanding the Medicaid program with a

two-year sunset provision and some triggers
that would end the program if the federal government backs off from
its 90 percent commitment to funding health
care for the working poor.
The deal would also be off
if the federal Center for
Medicaid and Medicare
Services makes significant changes in the program without state consent.
Those provisions were
added to mollify House
objections to any expansion of Obamacare. The
plan still appears headed
for defeat in the House.
Sen. Aaron Bean, RJacksonville, said Florida
is headed for a monster

storm in health care and
that legislators will be
back in multiple special
sessions next year if lawmakers dont fund the
Low Income Pool, a statefederal program that reimburses hospitals for
treating indigent patients.
Scott has sued the Obama
administration over what
he considers illegal use of
about $1 billion in LIP
money to force the state to
expand Medicaid.
Yesterday was the
start of hurricane season, Bean told the appropriations committee. In
health care, in the state of
Florida, we know theres a
monster storm coming
and its the changes in the
Low Income Pool Just

While the House panel
dealt with tax cuts, Senate

and the Bucs open their
preseason Aug. 15 at Minnesota. They open the regular season Sept. 13 at
home against Tennessee.

what team would draft

Deckerhoff said. I am

like hurricane season, we

need to plan.
Bean said the Senates
Florida Health Insurance Affordability Exchange has safeguards
to prevent state taxpayers
from getting stuck with
runaway costs. The Legislature would have to reauthorize the plan in
mid-2018.
I dont think were
wrong. Actually, Im confident in where were
headed, but we get a twoyear test drive how
about that? said Bean.
We have a plan. Its bold
reform of a broken system.
The Senate plan offers
assistance for low-income
working people to buy private insurance.

Foley Cellulose Mill plans

river restoration project
TaMaryn Waters
For decades, Perrys pulp

mill has been blamed for turning the Fenholloway River into
one of the most polluted waterways in Florida. Now the plants
new owners say they are committed to spending as much as
$100 million, including a pipeline that would restore the rivers water quality.
Officials at the Georgia-Pacific Foley Cellulose Mill said
theyre committed to making
the river suitable for recreational use.
A subsidiary of Koch Industries, Georgia-Pacifics mill has
pledged to spend between $70
million and $100 million over
the next five to seven years on a
water restoration project aimed
at upgrading the Fenholloway
River from its industrial stream
classification to a waterway
safe for recreational use, including fishing and swimming.
The Fenholloway River
stretches 36 miles and empties
into the Gulf of Mexico. The
mills National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit allows discharges of treated
effluent into the river.
At the end of the day when
weve made all of our changes,
the effluent that were producing will be salty water, said
Scott Mixon, public affairs
manager at the Foley Cellulose
mill.
The proposed 60-inch pipeline, connected to the mill, will
transport treated salty effluent
and remove it from the freshwater part of the river to the
salted river. That complies with
marine standards required by
the permit for the Gulf, company officials said.
However, skeptical environmentalists say the pipeline plan
will worsen river pollution and
create a black solid blob at the
mouth of the Gulf of Mexico,
since the pipeline will discharge two miles from where
the river empties into the Gulf.
The plant discharges 24 miles
upstream.
Fenholloways river bed is
loaded with dioxins, said Linda
Young, executive director of

the Florida Clean Water Network. Dioxins in the river have

caused sex changes in fish; scientists nicknamed female fish
bearded ladies because they
took on male characteristics.
It is a huge toxic mess,

Young said.
For decades, the plant Perrys largest employer with
about 600 workers has garnered headlines for its impact
on the river. Constructed in 1954
by Procter & Gamble, the plant
was sold in 1993 to a private
partnership, which eventually
became the publicly traded
Buckeye Technologies Inc. It
was acquired by Georgia-Pacific in 2013.
Some steps in the multi-step
project have been completed.
For example, the plant has eliminated the use of elemental chlorine and replaced washing and
screening facilities, according
to company officials.
Once the project is completed, the river will be slightly
lighter in color. Roughly $80
million in other improvements
have taken place in the last two
years, Mixon said.
If we carry all of this over
into 2016, then were looking at
about $135 million to investments to upgrade the facilities
in the mill, Mixon said.

NEW YORK Wal-Mart is

raising starting wages for
more than 100,000 U.S. department managers and
workers in its deli and other
specialized departments.
The moves mark the next
wave of pay raises by the nations largest private employer, which has been under
pressure from labor-backed
groups for the treatment of
its workers. In February, it
announced it was increasing
minimum wages for entrylevel and long-term hourly
employees to at least $10 an
hour by next February. That
increase affected 500,000 of
its 1.3 million U.S. workers.
The wage hikes are part of
a $1 billion program at WalMart that also includes improving training and offering employees more control
of their schedules. The company is hoping that by investing in its workers, its customer service will improve, and
ultimately that will encourage shoppers to spend more,
helping to perk up sluggish
sales at its U.S. division.
In February, Wal-Mart
said it would be raising
wages for its department
managers but didnt offer
many details.
Wal-Mart said late Monday that department managers of complex and service-oriented jobs in areas
such as produce, electronics
and auto care, will start at $13
per hour and top out at $24.70
per hour, beginning next
month. Starting next February, they will be paid at least
$15 per hour.
Previously, the pay range
was from $10.30 to $20.09.
Meanwhile, those managers
of less-complicated departments like clothing, and consumer products like paper
towels and luggage, will earn
from $10.90 to $20.71 per
hour. Previously, they earned
from $9.90 to $19.31.
Labor advocates claimed
the raises as a victory but
called for more.
Todays wage announcement, like the last one, falls
short of what Walmart workers need in order to raise
their families, the UFCW
International Union said in a
statement.
Wal-Mart is phasing out
the position of zone managers. It is reassigning those
jobs at its stores to assistant
managers or department
managers in a bid to offer
front-line workers more control over how their areas
should be run.
Theres a lot of excitement about the new department managers, the level of
ownership they take, said
Kristin Oliver, executive
vice president of people for
Wal-Marts U.S. division.

STATE
Scott
vetoes
pair of
bills
Measures aimed to increase
security at convenience
store, add insurance options
Jim Turner
The News Service of Florida
Gov. Rick Scott vetoed bills Tuesday

that were intended to increase convenience-store security and to give policyholders more options as the state seeks
to move them out of Citizens Property Insurance Corp.
Scott said one measure (HB 755)
would force convenience stores to add
potentially costly security. The second
bill (HB 1087), he said, undermines progress in shifting policies into the private insurance market from the statebacked Citizens.
Lawmakers approved both bills without opposition during this springs regular legislative session.
Scott expressed concern in a letter to
Secretary of State Ken Detzner about
the state adding overbroad, state-mandated regulations by requiring a variety of security measures at convenience
stores.
Mandating compliance with the security standards in the bill would place a
significant new financial burden on
these small businesses, which is unnecessary, Scott wrote.
The legislation, sponsored by Rep.
Charlie Stone, R-Ocala, would have required convenience stores to have security camera systems, drop safes for restricted access to cash receipts, policies
to limit cash after 11 p.m. and height
markers at the doors. Any convenience
store where a murder, robbery, sexual
battery, or aggravated assault occurred
would have been required to have two
employees on the clock when open between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
In a separate letter to Detzner, Scott
expressed concerns about a provision in
the Citizens-backed bill (HB 1087) that
would have allowed policyholders to
choose to get no more than one takeout
offer every six months.
This provision is inherently unfair to
Citizens policyholders in that it limits
policyholders private market options,
which means they may miss an opportunity to move to a better property insurance alternative, Scott said in the letter.
Scotts second issue with the legislation, sponsored by Rep. Michael Bileca,
R-Miami, was a provision that would
have allowed policyholders to return to
Citizens after being insured by private
carriers.

LAKE BUENA VISTA Leading Republican presidential prospects faced

off at an event Tuesday in battleground
Florida, a state that could prove pivotal
to the Florida heavyweights seeking the
nomination, not to mention any rival
who manages to win here instead.
Jeb Bush, a former two-term Florida
governor, and Floridas junior Sen. Marco Rubio, were the home-state stars at a
GOP economic gathering that drew a
half dozen White House hopefuls to a
Disney World convention center Rubio, tied up by Senate business, appeared by video.
They are so heavily favored in the
March 15 primary next year that some
rivals are considering bypassing Floridas race. But they showed up Tuesday.
Rubio offered the audience an indirect but unmistakable barb at Bush,
who spoke later.
While our economy is transforming, our policies and our leaders are
not, Rubio said. Our outdated leaders
continue to cling to outdated ideas.

ham Clinton. But the implication was

clear in a 2016 campaign that contrasts
a group of younger political leaders and
the two older figures whose families
have dominated national politics for
decades.
Its kind of hard to imagine that my
good friend, Marco, would be critical of
his good friend, Jeb, a sarcastic Bush
said with a smile after acknowledging
to reporters there would be elbows and
knees thrown in the race. This isnt

Tiddlywinks were playing.
He continued: If Im a candidate, I
want to be the guy to beat.
Tuesdays speaking program also
featured former Arkansas Gov. Mike
Huckabee, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Despite their appearance, many
campaigns are weighing whether to
spend time and money in the state Bush
and Rubio call home.
Other than the Florida pair, none who
showed up Tuesday has begun to establish teams of operatives and activists on
the ground in Florida. Many are already
working to temper expectations, while
realizing they cannot ignore Florida altogether both for its abundance of
wealthy donors and its status as a mustwin swing state in the general election.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker tried to
walk back recent comments he might
avoid the Florida primary should he run
for president. Bush and Rubio certainly would have a competitive advantage, he said. But if I didnt think I
could compete, I wouldnt be here today. He ticked off a list of personal and
political connections to Florida.
The Legislature recently moved the
states primary to March 15, the earliest
date the Republican National Committee allows for states that award all of
their delegates to the primary winner.
Senators grill Medicaid official

Committee presses Senior
for questioning proposal to
increase number of insured
Kelli Kennedy
Brandon Larrabee
Associated Press
FORT LAUDERDALE Nearly a dozen

health insurers are proposing doubledigit rate increases for 2016 Florida
plans sold on the exchanges created under President Barack Obamas health
care law as well as individual coverage
sold through brokers and agents.
One of Aetna Health Inc.s plans requested a 21 percent hike, and plans for
United Health Care of Florida and Coventry Health Care of Florida were looking for hikes of 18 percent. United requested a 31percent increase in one of its
plans sold off the exchange, according to
preliminary rate information released
Monday on the federal governments
HealthCare.gov website. Cigna requested a modest 12 percent raise.
But its unclear what will happen with
the states largest health insurer, Florida
Blue. The Blue Cross affiliate has requested trade secret protection for its
2016 marketplace rates, and company officials declined to comment publicly on
its filings.
State health officials are set to release
the final figures in early August, but the
early figures are pointing to bigger premium increases than in 2015. Still, the
preliminary data reveals only a partial
picture of the market showing the
worse-case scenario because the law
only requires insurers to report proposed increases of 10 percent or more.
Insurers cited higher-than-expected
care costs and other expenses this year
as the reason for the spike, but its not
clear whether any of the preliminary
rate hikes will stick because Florida insurance regulators now have the power
to reject price increases. State lawmakers froze those powers for the first two
years of the law.
Individual health insurance policies
are a relatively small slice of the overall
market because many more people are
insured through an employer. Consumers also have the option to purchase a different plan each year.
Insurance companies have said their
early enrollees were sicker than they
had anticipated and were requiring
more costly care.
TALLAHASSEE A Senate committee

tore into a high-ranking official from
Gov. Rick Scotts administration Tuesday in a sign of mounting frustration
with the governors role in the legislative battle over health care.
During a Senate Appropriations
Committee meeting held to approve a
proposal (SB 2-A) aimed at helping lower-income Floridians get health insurance, committee members from both
parties spent more than an hour grilling
state Medicaid director Justin Senior
over a perceived lack of respect for the
Senate.
The confrontation was the latest episode in an ongoing test of wills between
the Senate, which wants to use Medicaid expansion dollars to help lower-income residents purchase private coverage, and an alliance of Scott and House
Republican leaders, who oppose any
use of funding from the Affordable
Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.
Senators were particularly incensed

about Seniors remarks Monday to the
House Health & Human Services Committee in which the Medicaid director
said the question of whether more or
fewer people would have insurance if
the Senate plan was approved would be
a very close call.
The Senate has touted the fact that as
many as 800,000 Floridians would meet
income limits for health care under the
plan, though work requirements likely
mean that only 400,000 to 500,000 people would actually be eligible.
Speaking to the Senate, Senior reiterated his doubts about whether the program could meet its goals.
So, as I said to the House yesterday,
it is uncertain whether the net effect of
this would be a reduction in the uninsurance rate, or an increase, he said.
Well, it seems to me that you
brought nothing but confusion, then,
shot back Senate Appropriations Chairman Tom Lee, R-Brandon. Because
you dont know anything. You just bring
questions and you dont know what you
dont know, but youre going to offer it
up as testimony nonetheless. Youre not
much help, are you?
Senators also slammed Senior for
showing up to the meeting late, and only
after several pointedly noted the absence of anybody from the Florida
Agency for Health Care Administration. Some held out the prospect of denying confirmation to agency Secretary Liz Dudek, who must get Senate approval by 2016 to keep her job, or issuing a subpoena.
Sen. Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, said the
agency had only recently produced an
analysis of the Senate bill an updated
version of an earlier proposal despite
being asked for comments 10 days ago.
You chose not to be responsive, you
chose instead to go to the House hearing
yesterday, without giving the Senate
any information about input and your
analysis on the Senate bill, and cast all
sorts of aspersions on the Senate bill,
and you sort of had to be nudged into
coming here today at all, Gaetz said.
Why is that the case?
Senior said the agencys staff
worked very hard to produce an
analysis of the bill, which was finished
Monday, and said he wasnt invited to
the Senate meeting until Tuesday morning.
The committee unanimously approved the Senates plan for the socalled Florida Health Insurance Affordability Exchange, or FHIX. Under an
amendment offered by Senate Majority
Leader Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, the
plan would expire on July 1, 2018, unless
it gets renewed by the Legislature.
HHS officials take aim at Scotts LIP lawsuit

Jim Saunders
Describing the states arguments as

baseless, federal officials this week
fired back in court against Gov. Rick
Scotts contention that the Obama administration has unconstitutionally
tried to link expanding Medicaid with
the continuation of a key health-care
funding program.
In documents filed late Monday in
federal court in Pensacola, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services gave its first detailed accounting
of talks with Scott and other state officials about the Medicaid issue and the
continuation of the Low Income Pool
funding program. The filings deny
Scotts argument that the Obama administration has tried to coerce Florida
into expanding Medicaid.
Top federal Medicaid official Vikki
Wachino said in one of the documents

that she attended a May 6 meeting between Scott and U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services Secretary
Sylvia Burwell. She said the federal
government took issue with details of a
state proposal for continuing the socalled LIP program after June 30 but
decisions about the program were not
tied to expanding Medicaid.
At that meeting, Secretary Burwell
stated expressly that Medicaid expansion is a state decision and that whether
or not a state receives federal funding
for an uncompensated care pool (LIP)
does not depend on whether that state
expands, Wachino said in the document. She also said that HHS was not
saying there would not be a LIP program but instead that it needed to be altered.
A day after the May 6 meeting, the
state filed a motion in court seeking a
preliminary injunction to block federal

officials from linking the issues, contending that Washington was trying to
hold LIP funding hostage to Medicaid
expansion. LIP, which totals nearly
$2.2 billion this year, provides additional Medicaid funds to hospitals and other
health-care providers that serve large
numbers of low-income patients.
By refusing to continue funding a
multibillion-dollar Medicaid program
that offsets the costs of uncompensated
health care provided by safety-net hospitals and trauma centers, childrens
hospitals, medical schools, and other
providers statewide unless and until
Florida agrees to opt into the Affordable Care Acts Medicaid expansion
program, the federal government has
engaged in unconstitutional coercion,
attorneys for the state wrote in the May
7 motion for a preliminary injunction.
Scott filed the lawsuit April 28.

WASHINGTON The Senate overwhelmingly voted Tuesday to end

bulk collection of the phone data
of millions of Americans who
have no ties to terrorism.
By 67-32, senators approved
the USA Freedom Act, which was
passed by the House last month.
President Obama signed the bill
into law Tuesday night.
Three key sections of the Patri-
ot Act anti-terrorism law that expired at midnight Sunday are

now restored and extended
through 2019. Section 215 of that
law is changed to stop the NSA
from continuing its mass phone
data collection. Instead, phone
companies will retain the data,
and the NSA can obtain information about individuals with permission from a federal court.
The Senates hard-fought passage of the USA Freedom Act represented a major victory for
privacy rights advocates in Congress.
The measure highlighted the
upper hand those advocates have
in the GOP over traditional defense hawks such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., who fought to renew the

Patriot Act without changes.
I cannot support passage of
the so-called USA Freedom Act,
McConnell said. It does not enhance the privacy protections of
American citizens. And it surely
undermines American security
by taking one more tool from our
warghters at exactly the wrong
time.
McConnell was outnumbered
by a coalition of liberal Democrats and libertarian-leaning Republicans who wanted to rein in
what they saw as an abuse of the
governments surveillance power.
Many lawmakers said they were
shocked when former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed the existence of the NSAs
bulk collection program in 2013.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said the
USA Freedom Act protects national security while respecting
Americans privacy rights. The
American people intuitively understand that its nobodys business who they are calling, said
Lee, who led efforts to pass the
USA Freedom Act along with Sen.
Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.
Leahy, Lee and other critics of
the NSA program beat back attempts to amend the USA Freedom Act. Any change to the bill
would have required it to go back
to the House for approval, and it
appeared unlikely that House
members would have agreed to
the now-failed amendments.

Drug wiretaps triple in past decade

Agents take majority
of requests to local

Brad Heath
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration more
than tripled its use of wiretaps
and other types of electronic
eavesdropping over the past decade, largely bypassing federal
courts and Justice Department
lawyers in the process, newly obtained records show.
The DEA conducted 11,681
electronic intercepts in the scal

year that ended in September.
Ten years earlier, the drug agency
conducted 3,394.
Most of that ramped-up surveillance was never reviewed by
federal judges or Justice Department lawyers, who typically are
responsible for examining federal
agents eavesdropping requests.
Instead, DEA agents now take
60% of those requests directly to
local prosecutors and judges from

My fear: Too much calm before the storm

Alan Gomez
@alangomez
USA TODAY
MIAMI When Bryan Norcross

tells me hes worried about hurricane season, then its time to
get nervous.
I was one of the thousands of
South Floridians who were glued
to our ickering TVs in 1992
when Hurricane Andrew was
barreling down on us. Norcross
became a local legend by staying
on air 23 straight hours on
WTVJ Channel 4 as the storm
approached. With the limited
forecasting technology of the
time, Norcross and his colleagues could tell us little about
where exactly the Category 5 behemoth would strike.
Until six hours or so before
landfall, we really didnt know
that it was going to be MiamiDade County it couldve been
Broward County, it couldve
been the Keys, says Norcross,
describing more than 100 miles
of coastline where Andrew could
have hit.
The 2015 hurricane season
started Monday. Officials at the
National Hurricane Center
showed off a slew of new forecasting technology.
The centers Cone of Predictability, which predicts where a
storms eye will make landfall,
has become 40% more rened in
the past decade. Improvements
in computing and satellite observations mean the cone will become more narrow, something
we couldve used to predict Andrews eventual landfall 30 miles
south of downtown Miami.
The center is launching a test
project to issue storm surge
warnings for each storm, just as
the center provides hurricane
and tropical storm warnings to
prepare communities for oncoming winds. The warnings will
help predict how much water is
on the way, something anybody
in Hurricane Sandys path could
have used in 2012.
But Norcross says the improvements in forecasting technology actually come with a
disturbing downside.
Now theres an expectation
that we will know where its going to go, says Norcross, now
the senior hurricane specialist at
The Weather Channel. We have
a bigger threat of the outliers,
the ones that change at the last
minute that, even with modern
technology, we cant predict.
Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator
Craig Fugate puts it more succinctly: Technology is not all its
cracked up to be.
Ive covered hurricanes all of
my professional life. I zigzagged
across Florida to cover the four
major hurricanes that hit the
state in 2004. I waded and boated through Hurricane Katrinas

the advancements in forecasting
technology, we still dont know
exactly where theyre going to
hit or which part of them will
cause the most damage.
Hurricane Charley was sup-
posed to slam into downtown

Tampa in 2004, but a last-minute change of direction drove it
through Port Charlotte nearly
100 miles south. Hurricane Dennis made landfall near Pensacola
in 2005, but it was Apalachee
Bay 100 miles to the east that got
nearly 10 feet of storm surge.
Later that year, 8 million people
evacuated Houston ahead of
Hurricane Rita, which turned
and came ashore in Louisiana.
Thats why the start of each
hurricane season gives me, and a
slew of government officials and
emergency responders, such
heartburn. With Florida and
other portions of the U.S. experiencing a historically lucky period
of hurricane misses, people are

already getting more complacent
about hurricanes.
The South Florida Region of
the American Red Cross has
seen its volunteer pool plummet
from 10,000 to 4,000 since Hurricane Wilma sloshed over Miami 10 years ago. The state has
seen 1 million people move to
the state since then, meaning
more people have little experience with hurricanes.
And now, the technological
improvements by the hurricane
center threaten to give people
living outside the improved
Cone of Predictablity a false
sense of security.
Im not some Luddite decrying the value of technology. Anyone
should
applaud
improvements that help our
forecasters better predict where
a hurricane will hit, how strong
its winds will be and how much
storm surge it will bring. Fugate,
Norcross and officials at the hurricane center all welcome the
improvements.
But they also warn of the limitations. They worry that the improved technology will lead
people living outside of the predicted danger zone to tune out,
to get comfortable. And now, 23
years after Andrew put an entire
region on alert, Norcross worries
that fewer people will be ready.
The biggest challenge, he
says, is getting people motivated to pay attention.

totally appropriate, said Hanni
Fakhoury, an attorney with the
Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Thats a burden. And if theres a
way to get around that burden,
the agents are going to try to get
around it.
USA TODAY obtained the
DEAs wiretapping statistics under the Freedom of Information
Act. The gures include every order authorizing or extending
electronic eavesdropping. Some
orders could be counted more
than once, if they include the collection of both voice calls and text
messages, for example.
DEA Spokesman Joseph Moses said agents increased use of
wiretaps reects the proliferation of communication devices
and methods used by the drug
traffickers. He said the wiretaps
have been critical for agents to
penetrate the networks high-level
traffickers use to control their operations.
The legal safeguards for wiretaps are supposed to be the same
in both state and federal courts.
To tap into communications, police must persuade prosecutors
and a judge that they have probable cause to think that the communications
will
contain
evidence of a crime, and that they
have no other way to build their
case. But how judges and prose-
cutors interpret those requirements

can
vary
among
jurisdictions.
Within Justice, it was a rigorous standard, said Stephen
TKach, a former lawyer in the
Justice Department office responsible for approving wiretaps.
In the states, you have 50 different standards for whats going to
be enough.
Moses said DEA agents were
making no attempt to circumvent federal legal standards and
protections by instead pursuing
state wiretap authorizations. Instead, he said, the rapid growth of
state-authorized eavesdropping
reects local prosecutors increased willingness to take on
complex wiretap investigations,
which often involve teams of local
police and federal agents. At the
same time, he said, some federal
prosecutors may be unable to
support wire intercept investigations due to manpower or other
resource considerations, so
agents take their cases to state ofcials rather than see them
dropped.
The DEA records do not indicate which state courts have approved
the
ramped-up
surveillance, but state court records and statistics compiled by
the federal courts administrative
office offer some indications.
For example, judges in the Los
Angeles suburb of Riverside,
Calif., authorized more wiretaps

NTSB SAYS NO EQUIPMENT ISSUE
IN FATAL MAY 12 AMTRAK CRASH
A preliminary report released

Tuesday by federal crash investigators found no anomalies with
the braking system of the train or
the signals and track at the site of
the Amtrak derailment last
month that killed eight passengers and injured 200 others.
The National Transportation
Safety Board previously noted the
train had been traveling at 106
mph before the emergency brake
system engaged. Data from the
trains event recorder indicated
that the engineer activated the
emergency brakes seconds before
the derailment, the report said.
Amtrak train 188 was traveling
from Washington, D.C., to New
York City on May 12 when it derailed at 9:21 p.m. north of Philadelphia. The seven-car and
one-locomotive train had just entered the Frankford Junction
curve, where the speed limit is
50 mph. NTSB said its examining
the Amtrak engineers cellphone
and cellphone records to determine whether the engineer made
any calls, texted or sent messages
while operating the train.

proved wiretaps for federal investigators because the applications

often are sealed. Court records
there show prosecutors submitted some wiretap applications at
the request of the DEA.
State court judges in Buffalo
and San Diego also approved
DEA wiretap requests, according
to court records.
There was always some heartburn in Justice when DEA was
going into state courts, TKach
said. That was tempered, he said,
because state wiretap laws must
include all of the safeguards federal law requires, and there was
no suggestion that evidence gathered through state-court wires
was being thrown out of court
later.
How often that happens is difcult to measure. Agents said
many of the cases in which state
judges authorize wiretaps end up
being prosecuted in state courts,
where challenges to wiretap evidence are less common. According to records the district
attorney submitted to Californias
attorney general, for example,
only about 2% of the 1,400 wiretaps authorized in Riverside
County over the past ve years
were later challenged in state
court.

USA TODAY
Deploying specialized troops to call in airstrikes on

Islamic State targets with greater
precision would require sending
dozens to hundreds more personnel to Iraq and the likelihood that
some would be wounded or
killed, two senior military officials say.
Moreover, they would not provide a clear-cut advantage in collecting intelligence on targets
over drones, say the two officials,
who spoke on the condition of
anonymity because they were not
authorized to describe the thinking of top commanders.
The teams, known as Tactical
Air Control Parties, call in airstrikes and strang runs. They require vehicles, communication
equipment and support personnel to accompany them. The additional personnel would likely
include
medical-evacuation
crews and a quick-reaction force
to rescue spotters pinned down
by the enemy.
Casualties would be guaranteed if these forces deployed, said
one of the two officials. The new
troops would have to move on the
battleeld and expose themselves
to IEDs (improvised explosive
devices). Its back to the future
in Iraq.
However, a greater U.S. presence, including air controllers, is
essential to beating Islamic State,
also known as ISIL or ISIS, said
Michael OHanlon, a military
analyst at the Brookings Institution. American advisers closer to
the front lines and special operations forces to conduct raids
against Islamic State ghters
should also be considered. He
urged a commitment similar to
that in Afghanistan, where there
are about 10,000 U.S. troops.
The rewards outweigh the
risks, he said.
Its worth it if we want to
win, OHanlon said. We should
also send in forward-deployed advisers and, if you ask me, special
forces too, to help in raids. I think
an Iraq presence not unlike our
current Afghanistan one is the
best option.
Calls have been increased for a
more robust military response
from the Pentagon as the strategy
to defeat militants from the Islamic State, has faltered. Late last
month, the Iraqi provincial capital of Ramadi fell to ISIL, and the
militants also captured the historic city of Palmyra in Syria.
There are about 3,000 U.S. troops
in the region now, including
teams to train, advise and assist

Michael OHanlon, a military analyst at

torial in The Washington Post also

supports their deployment.
The bomb spotters, known as
Joint Terminal Air Controllers,
are airmen or Marines, generally
seasoned sergeants, lieutenants
or captains, according to Pentagon brieng documents. They operate in units ranging in size from
companies, about 200 troops, to
divisions of as many as 18,000
strong. The teams own the
bomb aboard aircraft and can
drop to protect troops on the
ground or destroy enemy targets.
Their effectiveness has been
great in Afghanistan and Iraq
when troops ght in close combat
and precisely dropped bombs or
strang runs can destroy the
enemy.
The controllers often require
three to four vehicles and multiple troops, the second senior official said. In turn, those personnel
would require considerable
force protection measures, especially in Iraq to mitigate their
risk.
They would also require logistical support, the rst official said.
They would require fuel for their
vehicles, likely thirsty Mine Resistant

(MRAP) trucks to protect them
from IEDs. Mechanics would be
needed to maintain the vehicles
because, the official said, Its
Iraq, and things break all the
time. If the teams stay for weeks
or months, theyll need quarters
to sleep in, somewhere to eat and
administrative staff.
At the low end, the rst official
said, sending in a few teams
would require hundreds of additional troops. There appears to be
little appetite at the Pentagon
for doing so now, the second official said.
In any event, the lack of spotters on the ground has not severely limited airstrikes, said a
third senior officer, familiar with
intelligence matters in Iraq and
Syria but not authorized to speak
about them.
All of the obvious targets have
been hit in Syria and Iraq, the ofcer said, and much of the intelligence about them has been
developed by spying on them
with drones. Spotters on the
ground could expedite developing
targets but wouldnt change it
greatly.
A key issue in the air war,
which began in Iraq last August,
is the directive not to avoid civilian casualties, the officer said.
Targets have a non-combatant
value of zero; in other words,
ISIL ghters cant be struck if the
blast can be expected to kill innocent civilians.
Feeding 9.6 billion?

Breadfruit might help
Jane Onyanga-Omara
USA TODAY
As the worlds population

heads toward a projected 9.6 billion by 2050, producing enough
healthy food in a sustainable
manner will be a challenge. But a
non-prot organization says it
has a piece of the solution:
breadfruit.
The Hawaii-based Breadfruit
Institute hopes the tropical fruit
perhaps better known for its
role in the tale of the mutiny on
the Bounty will play an important part in feeding billions.
The fruit rst gained infamy in
the 18th century, when William
Bligh, the captain of the British
navy ship HMS Bounty, was sent
on a mission to take breadfruit
plants from Tahiti to the West Indies as an inexpensive, nutritious
food for slaves a mission that
was aborted because of an uprising. Bligh later returned to Tahiti
and took breadfruit plants to St.
Vincent and Jamaica.
Fast forward a few centuries
and the Breadfruit Institute is attempting to tackle hunger and
deforestation by working with
non-prot groups to plant breadfruit trees in such countries as
Kenya, Rwanda, Pakistan and
Zambia.
JIM WISEMAN
Cutting breadfruit in the kitchen.
The push comes as the international consortium EAT, which

was founded in 2013, held a conference in Stockholm that ended
Tuesday to discuss food, health
and sustainability issues with the
aim of feeding more than 9 billion people in the coming
decades.
Introducing breadfruit to more
nations has huge potential, EAT
director Gunhild Stordalen said.
High in carbohydrates and a
source of antioxidants, calcium,
iron and ber, the fruit is much
better than a lot of other carbohydrates, she said. You hit two
birds with one stone, to provide
better nutrition and quality
nutrition.

A new report on Californias

water use shows some progress
reducing use in the droughtparched state, helped in part by
a wetter and colder April.
California cities and towns
used 13.5% less water in April
2015 than they did in April
2013, said the State Water Resources Control Board on
Tuesday. Over the last 11
months, use dropped 9%.
Water conservation rose in
April, helped by a late chill. But
dont expect those conditions
to last, said a state water
representative.
What little snow accumulated through April, we lost that
in the month of May, John Lehigh, who oversees operations
for the State Water Project, said
at Tuesdays meeting. There is
no runoff from snowpack at
this point, basically.
California Gov. Jerry Brown
has ordered cities and towns to
use 25% less water than they
did in 2013, starting this
month. In areas where per-capita water use is highest including much of the Southern
California desert Coachella Valley residents are being told to
cut water use by 36%.
The fact that April 2015 was
slightly wetter and cooler than

Months-long talks to resolve

Greeces nancial crisis are inching closer to a climax, with both
the beleaguered nation and its
creditors nalizing proposals
aimed at averting a default that
could ripple across the globe.
Greece presented a proposal to
its bailout lenders the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the
European Commission to ease
sweeping budget cuts and labor
market changes required by its
240 billion euro bailout. Officials
from those institutions and European leaders met Monday night
to weigh the offer.
A senior official involved in the
talks predicted the Greek government would make enough grudging concessions on new austerity
measures to strike a deal with its
lenders by Friday for new nancing that would keep Greece solvent until the fall. The official
declined to be named because of
the sensitivity of the discussions.
The two sides have deadlocked
since February on an agreement
to unlock the nal 7.2 billion euro
chunk of its bailout package,
which expires at the end of the
month. Greece needs the money
to fund the government and repay lenders. Greek officials have
said they can make a 300 million
euro payment to the IMF by Friday. But the country would be
hard-pressed to fork over another
1.25 billion euros due mid-month.
The two sides remain far apart
on painful pension and wage cuts
for public workers and changes to
reduce worker protections. With
Greeces economy reeling, Prime
Minister Alexis Tsipras and his
Syriza party were swept into ofce in January on an anti-austerity platform.
Economist Diego Iscaro of IHS
Global Insight predicts a deal will
ease belt-tightening targets but
largely maintain other changes.
Here are four possible scenarios,
according to Barclays Capital:
uGreek officials back off
their hard-line stances and a
ANGELOS TZORTZINIS, AFP/GETTY IMAGES
deal is reached. This likely

would trigger a political crisis in
which left-wing Syriza politicians
leave office. The risk of further
bank deposit withdrawals and the
need for capital controls would
be minimized. Yields on Greek
government bonds would fall on
rising demand for Greek debt.
This is the most likely scenario.
uTsipras calls for a referendum on the deal because its
terms defy Syrizas agenda.
This likely would rock markets,
spread to other struggling eurozone nations and set off more
bank deposit withdrawals and the
need for capital controls. In the
end, the referendum likely would
back the deal.
uTsipras calls for snap
elections to form a new government in a bid to populate
it with more moderate lawmakers. This would draw out
the impasse and create uncertainty for markets.
uGreece defaults on its
debt by failing to reach a deal
because of the outcome of the
referendum or the elections.
The ECB likely would stop funding Greek banks, forcing the
country to form its own currency
and exit the euro. Although the
economic consequences for
Greece would be dire, new nancial stability measures would
largely shield the eurozone. The
euro likely would fall further
against the dollar, hurting the exports and earnings of U.S. multinationals, says Joe Quinlan, chief
market strategist at U.S. Trust.

The three directors on that
committee are John Doerr of
venture capital rm Kleiner, Perkins, Caueld & Byers; former Intel CEO Paul Otellini; and
Kavitark Ram Shiram of venture
rm Sherpalo Ventures.
At issue is the $100 million in
restricted stock grants the board
gave to Schmidt last year, as well
as $123 million in stock grants to
Omid Kordestani, who joined as
Googles new chief business officer in August.
ISS said the board failed to tie
the stock grants to the executives
job performance. Schmidts
$100 million in stock, for example, is set to vest on a quarterly
basis over four years, regardless
of his contributions to the companys performance, ISS said.
Schmidt also received a $6 million bonus last year, which ISS
deemed discretionary or lacking in visible ties to performance.
The magnitude of total pay
provided to certain executives,
paired with a lack of performance
criteria and compelling rationale,
raises signicant concerns, ISS
said.
Google spokeswoman Winnie
King declined to comment. The
tech giant will hold its annual
shareholder meeting at its Mountain View, Calif., headquarters.

The two rms recently created
problems for JP Morgan, for example, when they recommended
investors vote against the banks

performance.
The proposal passed, but by

JAE YANG AND PAUL TRAP, USA TODAY
Automakers reported strong

sales in May as improved consumer condence, lower unemployment and moderate gas
prices helped propel sales of pickups and SUVs.
While Autodata reported that
sales improved 1.6% vs. the same
month last year, the more signicant gure was a seasonally adjusted sales rate that would, if it
keeps up, puts the industry on
pace to sell almost 17.8 million
new vehicles. That standard industry measure points to the

most torrid sales pace since July
2005, Kelley Blue Book said.
Individual automakers reported mixed results because their
tallies were skewed by there being one less selling day last
month compared to a year earlier.
Among Detroits Big 3, GMs overall sales rose 3% over May 2014,
Fiat Chrysler sold 4% more new
vehicles and Ford sold 1.3% fewer,
Autodata says.
But overall, it was a month of
near-record sales that beat expectations. The auto industry is on
re, says Eric Lyman, senior
analyst for TrueCar. Were still
seeing that automotive is driving
growth in the economy.

uProt-packed vehicles.
Not only did automakers sell
huge volumes, but they did it in
some of the most protable segments: pickups and SUVs that

usually yield higher prot margin
because of relatively strong prices
and lower manufacturing costs.
uFewer eet sales. Auto
sales can be inated by big sales
to corporate, rental or government eets, which arent as profitable as sales to individuals. But
automakers say sales to individuals rose, while eet sales fell.
uMillennials. Lyman says
25% of new car sales last months
were to Millennials, who are
emerging as a powerful force despite earlier predictions that they
were more interested in the next

A job. Its better to have one

On Wall Street, employment

market as a key indicator of the
health of the broader economy
and, more important, a good

estimate how much cash consumers will spend at the mall,
auto dealerships and restaurants.

Q: Is Cracker Barrel
a buy?
Matt Krantz
mkrantz@usatoday.com
USA TODAY
A: Cracker Barrel served up a bit of

surprise to Wall Street. And investors are
warming up to the concept as a result.
Shares of the restaurant and gift store
chain rose roughly 5% Tuesday after the
company reported an adjusted quarterly
prot of $1.49 a share, which beat expectations by 9%.
But it wasnt just the bottom line that
pleased investors. Revenue at stores
open at least a year rose more than 5%.
The company also boosted its quarterly
dividend by 10% and said it would pay a
special dividend of $3 a share. It also
boosted its forecast for earnings this
year by 3%.
But analysts arent ready to call this
stock a buy just yet. The average analyst
rating on Cracker Barrel is a wholly lukewarm hold. While the company delivered on the bottom line, the shares
are trading for an above-market trailing
valuation of 21.6 on trailing earnings.
Analysts are waiting to see if the company can continue to overdeliver. They expect the company to report an adjusted
prot of $6.63 a share this year, which
would be an increase of nearly 18%. The
three analysts covering the stock say it
will be worth $156.67 a share in 18
months. If thats right, theres still 7%
upside. But the key is whether the company can keep up the momentum it just
showed in the recent quarter.
AMC, Regal cinemas say they are under antitrust probes

Entertainment and Regal Entertainment said they are the
subject of two government investigations into possible anti-competitive tactics, including deals
that block competing theaters
from selling tickets to the hottest
new releases.
The two theater chains said
Monday that they have received
civil investigative demands from
the antitrust division of the Justice Department amid questions

over whether they have pushed

for exclusivity deals with Hollywood studios in order to force
customers to their theaters and
away from often small, independent theaters.
AMC boasts interests in 347
theaters with 4,972 screens
across the country, and Regal has
7,324 screens in 569 theaters in
42 states.
Both chains also received civil
investigation demands from the
antitrust section of the Ohio attorney generals office, they said
in regulatory lings.
The government agencies requested documents and answers
concerning lm clearances
and participation in certain
joint ventures, AMCs ling said.
Film clearances are when
theaters are given exclusive
rights to show a lm within
a certain radius around their
theaters.
Both chains said they do not
believe they have violated federal
or state antitrust laws and that
they are cooperating with
authorities.
Shares of AMC closed lower
Tuesday, down 0.5% to $27.87.
Regal shares also ended the
day with a loss, down 0.8% to

in Italy and returned to Tinseltown to run a studio that is nancing the directorial debut of
acting superstar Vincent Chase
(Adrian Grenier). Part of Golds
new persona is a tenuous commitment, at the behest of his wife,
to nding inner peace.
Hes trying to evolve. The idea
that that character has any link to
the spiritual world is comedy.
Hes the antithesis of anything
spiritual, Piven says.
For the actor, buttoning up
Golds tailored attire again was
disconcerting. He has little in
common with the power player.
The fact that you can work
your entire life and really love
acting and be mistaken as this
horrifying douchebag theres a
compliment in there, Piven says.
And I will embrace it at some
point. But it does get a bit
confusing.
And a little tiresome that people expect him to be similar to
Gold.
The rst thing you said to me
was, We have a chair for Ari
Gold. Thats somehow your
mind-set, Piven says. The only
reason I can embody that character is because Im an actor. You
do understand that? People like
this exist. Why isnt it possible

that Im an actor who is nothing

like this character? Google any
one of my interviews where Im
actually myself, and you can see
who Jeremy is.
The real Piven, says Entourage
writer/director Doug Ellin, is
into meditation but his acting
is high energy. Hes able to turn
that on very quickly. Hes a very
serious actor.
Adds his Mr. Selfridge co-star

Katherine Kelly: The Jeremy I
know is very centered. Hes not
brash and hes not difficult. You
could easily meet him in the pub
here and talk to him about Wimbledon and youd be none the
wiser that hes famous.
Piven hails from an acting family. His parents run the Illinoisbased Piven Theatre and his sis-
ter Shira, a lmmaker, is married

to Adam McKay, co-founder of
Funny or Die and director of comedies including Anchorman: The
Legend of Ron Burgundy. Hes
the doting uncle of their two
daughters, Pearl (who was in that
infamous 2007 video The Landlord) and Lili Rose.
Pearl is a little angel. She and
Lili Rose have never seen Entourage and dont know who Ari
Gold is. Someday theyll probably
stumble on it and it will be very
surreal to them, Piven says. For
them to witness Uncle Jeremy
being so cruel I cant wrap my
mind around what that would
feel like for them. I love them so
much.
Pearl asked me if I worked for
a bus company because she saw
me on the side of a bus. I said,
Yes, I repair the buses.

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

Entourage movie
picks up where
the show ended
Donna Freydkin
@freydkin
USA TODAY
The man-boys are

back.
And while theyre a bit more
mature, theyre still as prone to
hooking up and cutting loose as
they were on Entourage, the HBO
series that made them famous.
The lm version of Entourage
(in theaters today) picks up precisely where the show left off:
with boats, babes, bashes and one
retirement gone wrong.
When you do the movie version of a television show, it has
got to get better. You dont make a
movie unless you have something
else to contribute, says Jeremy
Piven, who plays agent-turnedstudio head Ari Gold. Our job is
to explore and heighten what
Entourage was and make it a feature lm.
The movie will be satisfying to
people in that its very true to
what the series was. Yes, its a
male fantasy. Yes, they can be at
times incredibly self-consumed
and delusional and chauvinistic.
But the movie has a heart.
And while the lm is bawdy
and blinged-out, that kind of lifestyle does exist, Piven says.
Thats one of the things that
(writer/director) Doug (Ellin)
and everyone made a great effort
to get right: the authenticity of a
Hollywood actor navigating that
space, Piven says. People want
to know, What is it like?
Heres what else fans can
expect from each of the guys
and one mom-to-be:
NEW YORK
ARI GOLD
ERIC MURPHY
To the surprise of no one,

retirement didnt quite stick.
Ari is back and running a
studio and having to deal
with budgets and demands,
courtesy of his Texas
investors (Billy Bob Thornton and Haley Joel Osment).
Im playing a reactive Hollywood shark who is a totally
contemporary character,
Piven says.
Vincents loyal manager is

still his trusty sidekick, but
hes now single and trying to
navigate that life. Particularly since hes about to be a
dad with ex-girlfriend Sloan
(Emmanuelle Chriqui).
Theyre trying to have this
baby together in a very
Hollywood way without
staying together, Ellin says.
JOHNNY DRAMA
TURTLE
Vincents half-brother is at a
crossroads after the cancellation of his TV show. He
gets cast in Vincents directorial debut, Hyde, but winds
up making headlines for a
very different performance.
Hes a struggling actor and
trying to get along and get
some respect, Ellin says.
Vincents good-natured
driver is still behind the
wheel, but thanks to a
tequila deal, hes nancially
loaded. And hes hoping to
nd himself a woman. Hes
made millions, and he does
the same thing, but hes
more successful, Ellin says.

Betty Whites Hot streak isnt over yet

Hot in Cleveland, TV Lands first original comedy, ends its six-season run
Wednesday with a one-hour goodbye.
Betty White, an Emmy nominee for
her role as widowed caretaker Elka
Ostrovsky, spoke to USA TODAYs
Bill Keveney this week about
Cleveland; her friendship with co-stars
Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and
Wendie Malick; her celebrated career
and her love for animals, including a
grizzly bear named Bam Bam.
Q: Were you surprised that
Hot in Cleveland lasted for
128 episodes?
A: They asked me to do the pilot. I said, Ill do it but I cant
commit if the show gets picked
up. And then we all did the pilot
and we all fell in love. I did the
last show, too. And all the ones in
between. It was a delightful
experience.
Q: Do you have a favorite
Cleveland moment?
A: When R.J. (Robert) Wagner
kissed me, I didnt nd that too
bad. I like that, because they
dont often write in a kiss for
me.
HOT IN
CLEVELAND
TV LAND,
TONIGHT,
10 ET/PT
TV LAND
A: Thats one of the

things I appreciate the
most, that Im still invited
to work. Usually, you get
to a given age and
thats a couple of decades ago for me and
(work) dries up, but, oh,
Ive been so lucky. Im
93 and Im so healthy
and strong. Work is just a
joy. I know it cant go on
forever, but Im making the
most of whatever comes
along.
Q: Was the nal taping an emotional

event?
A: Every time wed
make eye contact, youd
nd somebody whose
eyes were full. We were
all so conscious that it
was the last day and trying so hard not to talk
about it. And when we
hugged at the end of the
show, we just didnt want to let
go. Youll see some very sad girls
trying to act happy.
Q: Will you get together
with your co-stars now that
the series is over?
A: We had dinner (last week),
all four of us. Were such close
friends. Weve promised ourselves that wed get together every three weeks.
Q: Did the show help boost
your career?
TV LAND
White fell in love with her

Cleveland role as Elka.
A: I dont know about it helping my career. Its just that the
public cant get rid of me. But I
love it that way.
Q: Do you plan to keep
working?
Q: Youve also starred in

such classics as The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls. Do you have a
favorite series?
A: I think I have to go back to
Golden Girls, but theyre all favorites. I really havent had to do a
show I didnt like.
Q: Do you have any advice
for young actors as they embark upon their careers?
A: Enjoy your work, but take it

very seriously. Show up on time.
Come in prepared. Learn your
lines. Dont ever think you can
wing it, because you really cant.
It shows in your eyes. It gives you
away if you havent done your
homework.
Q: Are you still busy with
animal advocacy work?
A: I have to stay in show business to pay for my animal business. Im very active with the
Morris Animal Foundation. We
fund studies in the health and
welfare (of animals).
Q: Do you have plans for
fun things to do in your spare
time?
A: Im going to see Bam Bam,
who is a male grizzly bear. Hes a
professional bear, a Hollywood
actor. He takes marshmallows
out of my mouth. I hold them between my lips and he just reaches
up with his lips and takes the
marshmallows so daintily.
The Cleveland cast

Wendie
Malick, Betty
White, Jane

stay in touch,

about the world around

loving bond we share.
Theyve heard enough
about 19th-century Indian uprisings,
outlaws and shootouts to know that
there once was an untamed Old West,
but I wanted to show them the actual
remnants and symbols of our countrys
long-gone Wild West. Thats how Alyssa, Samantha, Andrew and I ended up
on the road to Tucson. (It was easy.
They live in Phoenix and I was visiting
them.)
In Tucson, Arizona, the Wild West of
the past is still present. In the
1870s-1880s, this capital of the Arizona
Territory had its share of lawlessness.
To prove it, we headed for Tucsons old
train depot to see the verdigris statues
of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday poised
with guns in their hands.
My grandkids were wide-eyed when
I told them that in 1882, outlaw Frank
Stilwell killed Earps brother Morgan
and hid in wait at the train depot,
where he planned to kill soon-arriving
Wyatt. Forewarned, Wyatt Earp shot
Stilwell dead on the train tracks. Now,
instead of a dead body, historic Locomotive #1673 rests on the tracks.

Astrology with Holiday Mathis

Aries (March 21-April 19).
Even though youre a practical realist, in order to
motivate the people around
you, youll tap into your
visionary powers and paint
a pretty picture of the ideal
scenario with your eloquent
words.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Asking the same dead-end
question over and over
again will never produce
what you need. Change it
up. Feel around for the
right trigger. The right
question is like a magic
button.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Your mood: strategic. You
know just what to do to
command respect and gain
the freedom or authority
you desire. Bonus: You
could even turn your opponents into allies.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Watching another person
grow up is a great pleasure,
even if that person happens
to be older than you. Today
illustrates just how far a
friend or family member
has come.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). You
have rules about self-expression that are more
stringent than societys rules
at least the society youre
living in now. Its OK to
hoot, holler, applaud, cheer
and laugh out loud, and its
OK to cry. Go ahead.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Accept the changes going
on or reject them they
are going to happen either
way. You dont have to
acknowledge and integrate
these developments into
your experience, but youll
be more powerful if you do.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Forget about the silver
linings. As long as youre
looking for the good in a
situation, you may as well
go for the gold or platinum
linings, because they will be
there, too.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You will rebuild yourself
even better than before.
This remodel will suit your
mindset better and will
create a lifestyle that highlights, exercises and celebrates the best in you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). No one stumbles onto
the meaning of life, because the meaning of life is
something each person has
to create. Life has no meaning except the one you
assign to it, so make an
assignment that vitalizes
you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
People who think they are
too small to make a difference will complain instead
of act. You sense that you
are bigger than the problem, which is why you dont
think to complain you
just handle it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
How you say things will
make a bigger impact than
what you say. Establish a
connection before you
deliver your message, and
youll be more likely to be
heard, understood and
followed.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
You aspire to do something
difficult very well, and youll
keep on practicing until you
get the results you desire.
The feedback you get today
is just one drop in the
bucket.
Todays birthday (June 3).
Cultivate friendships with
those who share your values. If you dont know what
new people value, then ask.
An idiosyncratic person
adds sparkle to your world
in the next three months.
Things are always more
interesting around this
person. An old flame makes
things interesting in 2016.
Libra and Scorpio people
adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 35, 49, 12, 28 and
19.

around the world during the 2015-2016 academic year as part of
the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.
The program offers
grants for U.S. graduating college seniors,

abroad.
Florida State is
proud to have 10 students represent our
university and our nation around the world
as a part of the Fulbright program, said
Craig Filar, assistant
dean of Undergraduate
Studies and director of
the Office of National
Fellowships. This continued level of success
demonstrates Florida
States commitment to
preparing both our
undergraduate and
graduate students for
impactful engagement
on the global stage.
Four of FSUs recipients earned academic
study/research grants
to work on their own
projects at foreign universities. Six of Florida

participate in the English Teaching Assistant
Program, which places
Fulbright Fellows in
classrooms abroad to
provide assistance to
local English teachers.
The teaching assistants

OBITUARIES
Students unveil
classroom
farming program
Ashley G. Terrell
Flint (Michigan) Journal
FLINT, Mich. Fifthand sixth-grade students

at Flints Freeman Elementary School want
their peers nationwide to
know what they have
learned from a year of
growing their own food
indoors.
They recently unveiled the Student Good
Food Charter forming
the Student Food Council
of America to promote
their Classroom Farming
curriculum and the importance of growing
harvests.
Its creators say it is
the nations first yearlong program with a
science, technology, engineering and mathematics
emphasis.
Blaire Baker, co-creator of Classroom Farming, said it teaches students about indoor farming and agriculture.
They are seeing firsthand the Farm on Wheels
learning tool, which is
the first of its kind in the
country, where students
are actually growing
these products inside the
classroom, Baker said.
Farm On Wheels is a
mobile indoor ecosystem
used to grow and harvest
vegetables, herbs, fruits
and spices.
The students of Freeman Elementary created
Classroom Harvest, a
student-run food bank
and raised funds by selling produce theyve
grown at the Flint Farmers Market in downtown
Flint.
The Student Food

Council of America is a
student conceived, designed, managed and
focused organization.
Dasani Jackson, 12,
says that participating in
programs like this makes
her more aware of the
food her family buys in
stores. She said she enjoys growing her own
food instead.
Its actually better,
because we know what
we put in our food and
how we make it, Jackson said. When we buy
food from the grocery
stores or farmers markets, we dont know
where thats been or
where it was growing.
Bob Hooper, former
technologist of Flint
Community Schools and
co-creator of Classroom
Farmers, said most of the
students are on Electronic Benefit Transfer
(EBT) benefits for food.
A project of growing
cucumbers with the students sparked the idea to
start the initiative.
We started talking
about food and when the
EBT system went down
and probably most of
them are on EBT. I said,
How did that impact
your parents? and they
all got wide-eyed and
said it was really scary,
Hooper recalled. It was
one of those moments
where you go, Wouldnt
it be cool if you could
grow some of your
food?

Students build
home for retired
wounded veteran
John Rogers
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Jerral

Hancock is about to replace the worst day of his
life with the best one.
The Army veteran,
who was partly paralyzed, badly burned and lost
his left arm when the
tank he was driving
through Iraq on his 21st
birthday was attacked,
will get a spacious, new
home built from the
ground up by a group of
Southern California high
school students. The
students took up Hancocks cause as part of an
annual school project
honoring veterans.
After two years of
raising hundreds of thousands of dollars from
selling T-shirts and refrigerator magnets, soliciting donations, they
presented the keys to
Hancock on his 29th
birthday.
Im grateful, Im
very, very grateful, the
retired solider said.
Hancock is well known
in the Antelope Valley.
The high-desert community 80 miles northeast of
Los Angeles is home to
one of the largest concentrations of military families in the country.
Although hes been
feted frequently at pa-
rades and other events,

few knew that the former
soldier, whose wife left
him after he was injured,
lived in a cramped mobile
home so small he couldnt
get his wheelchair into
the rooms of his 11-yearold son and 9-year-old
daughter.
After Lancaster High
School history teacher
Jamie Goodreau invited
him to speak to her classes in 2013 and he opened
up a bit, her 11th-graders
decided what their yearend project honoring
veterans would be:
Theyd build Hancock a
new home.
Goodreau knew the
task would be daunting,
but she got behind it. So
did pretty much the rest
of Antelope Valley.
The real estate agent
waived her commission,
big-box stores supplied
building materials, and
the architectural firm
provided blueprints.
Prisons inmates held a
fundraising art sale.
When Sinise got wind of
the effort, the Forrest
Gump and CSI: NY
star brought his Lt. Dan
Band out for a benefit
concert and got his charitable foundation involved.
Asked when hed move
in, Hancock laughed and
replied: As soon as the
cameras leave.

thought of as his father and mother.
At the age of twelve, he met the love

Dr. Brueckheimer attended Wabash College in

he received a Masters Degree in Social Sciences. Subsequently, he attended the University of Michigan in
Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he received a Masters
Degree and a Doctorate Degree in Geography.
A dedicated educator, researcher and writer, Dr.
Brueckheimer embarked on a distinguished academic career. In 1949, he moved to Tallahassee, Florida with Mary Ellen and his rst child, William Rogers Brueckhemer, Jr. An instructor in Geography at
Florida State University from 1949 to 1951, he developed a lifelong love for Tallahassee and Florida
State University. Although he had to leave Tallahassee in furtherance of his education and career, he and
his beloved wife longed to return some day to Tallahassee.
Dr. Brueckheimer was a Professor and Head of the
Department of Geography and Geology at Western
Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan where
he lived from 1955 to 1964. In 1964 he got the opportunity to return to Florida State University and

Dr. Brueckheimer was a Presbyterian and a humanitarian. His family, friends and acquaintances were
blessed to know a man with such rarely seen honesty,
such a devotion to teaching to make a dierence, such
kind and thoughtful ways, and such an earnest dedication to humbly helping those less fortunate.

Stepmother creating family rift

Dear Annie: My
friend Nancy has become one of those stepmothers who negatively
influences her husbands
relationship with his
adult children.
When things began to
turn sour between Nancy
and her husbands daughter, who lived nearby, the
daughter retaliated by
distancing herself from
her father, refusing to
see him and avoiding his
calls. Nancy persuaded
her husband to move
across the country. She
blames the move on the
daughter, who drove
them away, but Im sure
his daughter sees it as
Nancy making sure Dad
is totally alienated from
his family.
Now, when Nancys
husband speaks of visiting his daughter and
her family, Nancy active-
ly tries to
discourage him,
reminding him
that he
wasnt
treated
properly.

Advice from

Kathy Mitchell
to Nancy

that she
Sugar
allow her
husband
to handle his relationship
with his daughter on his
own, but shes unwilling
to do that.
On the Sidelines,
but Been There
Dear Sidelines: Many
men would rather abandon their children than
fight with their wives.
They also figure the kids
dont need them that
much. But truthfully,

kids always need their
parents love and support, and once a husband
takes a firm stand on the
issue, the arguments
tend to be shorter, and
the wife often backs off.
But it takes some initial
effort. And by the way,
this dynamic works with
either spouse. There are
husbands who push their
wives to move away from
their kids, and the wives
allow it. Sometimes it
borders on an abusive,
isolating relationship.
You cant force someone to grow a spine.
Youve expressed your
opinion to Nancy, and she
has chosen to ignore you.

End Play
South could also succeed with a loser-on-loser
end play. He could win
the second trump in dummy, ruff a diamond, take
the top spades to pitch a
diamond from dummy,
and ruff his low spade.
South could then lead
the king of diamonds and
discard a club loser on
East's ace. East would
have to lead a spade,
conceding a ruff-sluff, or
lead a club from his king.

it has adequate defensive

values. The case for passing is persuasive. You
have borderline highcard strength and no

hand will be awkward to
describe after a minorsuit opening and the
likely response of one
spade. I would pass with
no sense of remorse.

Pinconning Area High School in Pinconning, Mich., has 10 sets of twins in a student body of
430. Principal Andy Kowalczyk says he has never seen so many twins in one school. Three pairs
of twins are graduating this year, and Kowalczyk says no sets are coming in next school year.

High schools twin population

might cause a double take
IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD
Associated Press
PINCONNING, Mich.
Ten sets of twins roam

the halls at a high school
in central Michigan, an
unusual happenstance
that has teachers seeing
double, according to
school officials.
Pinconning Area High
School Principal Andy
Kowalczyk has never
seen so many twins in
one school during his 18
years as an educator.
Maybe each year, we
have one or two sets, but
never 10, Kowalczyk
said. Its crazy.
The principal, who
attended Pinconning
Area High School when
he was a teenager and
graduated in 1991, only
remembers one set of

twins in his class.
We had 180 kids in
our class. I do remember
one other set below us.
Our school was bigger
then and we may have
had a couple sets, Kowalczyk said.
Administrators at the
430-student school were
a bit surprised when
they realized its twin
billing, he said.
It was just kind of by
accident, Kowalczyk
said. Wed seen a couple
of pairs in the office at
once and we got to thinking, I wonder how many
there are? We started
looking in the office a
little bit ago, and we
said, Theres one, theres
another. Its neat to have
them in class; they can
lean on each other.

Its pretty cool.
While school officials
describe the 10 sets of
twins as good kids,
they arent past twin
hijinks. Freshmen Courtney and Zoe Merino, who
are identical twins,
switched places for a
day in eighth grade and
fooled their teachers,
they said.
No one can figure
out by our faces. Zoe
Merino said. So, we
thought wed stump our
teachers. We changed
our clothes, our personality.
Three pairs of twins
are graduating this year,
and the school isnt expecting any more sets to
come in next school year,
Kowalczyk said.

Bartlett wins Golden South one-mile

Champ grabs
berth in event
Brian Miller
Democrat sports writer
@BigBendPreps on Twitter
By now, its well-documented what three-time

state champion Avery
Bartlett
has
accomplished over the last two
years of his Chiles career.
But Bartlett, the 2015
All-Big Bend Co-Track
Athlete of the Year, hasnt
stopped with the conclusion of the school year.
This past week, he ran
in a postseason invitational, the 39th annual Golden
South Classic track meet
in Orlando, where he was
seeded third out of 25 runners in the one-mile race.
On the line was an automatic berth to New York
LISSIE BARTLETT
Chiles senior Avery Bartlett, right, captured the 39th annual

Golden South Classic one-mile run last week in a sprint to the
finish. Bartlett won by just two-hundredths of a second,
securing his berth to the prestigious Adidas Dream Mile in
New York City on June 13.
City to compete in the

prestigious
Adidas
Dream Mile on June 13.
Bartletts two competitors seeded higher were
three-time Utah state
champion Connor Mantz,
a BYU signee, and Bryce
Balenseifen, a nine-time
Oklahoma state champion

and an Oklahoma State
signee. But Bartlett races
like a horse that inevitably comes from the back
of the pack, refuses to
lose, and gallops away
from competitors.
I wanted to just stay
with the pack, but I was

running with (Balenseifen) from basically the
600 until the finish, Bartlett said. He progressively picked it up. I wanted to
stay in front of him. It
didnt matter how tired I
was, I knew that at 200 to
go I could probably outkick him and get him at the
finish.
True to form, Bartlett
did just that, easily passing Balenseifen, but then
Mantz snuck past on his
right
when
Bartlett
glanced over his left
shoulder to find his nearest competitor. In a desperate burst of energy,
Bartlett surged and held
off Mantz at the finish line
by a nose to win the race
by just two-hundredths of
a second. The Georgia
Tech signee dropped 5.5
seconds off his personal
best, crossing in 4:08.55.

It caught me by surprise,
Bartlett
said.
Thats just part of a kick,
because everyone is battling to get to the finish. I
talked to him after the
race and he thought he had
it. I pushed into second
gear. It was almost a blur
to me I was so tired, but I
wanted it so bad. I barely
even won .02 seconds.
Now hell have the challenge of running even faster in two weeks against the
nations best guys closing in on or surpassing the
illustrious
four-minute
barrier.
I know the race is going to go out fast, Bartlett
said. Ill probably be at 60
for the first 400. The trick
to that is just holding on to
the last lap. Im going to
hold on for the first 1200
and see who dies the least,
I guess. That race will be

different. It wont be like
anything Ive ever done,
getting to sit back. Itll be
fun and Im excited and
ready for it.
Barlett joined Chiles
alum and current Vanderbilt runner Lily Williams
as prestigious winners of
the Golden South event.
Williams set a Florida
state record of 4:42 at the
time on her way to NYC.
I think back to when I
was freshman and Lily
was a senior, we were good
friends, and I watched her
at Golden South trying to
qualify for Dream Mile,
Bartlett said. I got so excited for her, and I had no
idea Id be there now as a
senior, national level, history-making stuff. Its
really crazy. Its going to
be great, but Ive still got
to run fast.

team, a reduction in
games and other self-imposed restrictions.
Samuels said with the
help of FAMU president
Elmira Mangum and interim athletic director
DWayne Robinson, the
team is already taking
steps to get out from under the sanctions by
recruiting strong, academically-inclined athletes.
Last fall, the basketball
teams team GPA was
2.87, and nine players had
GPAs over 3.0. Samuels
said he wants his recruits
to continue reflecting that
standard.
We signed five kids,

theyre great players,
good people, hard workers, he said. Theyre not
worried
about
APR.
Theyre worried about
whether theyre going to
be coached and loved.
Samuels
continued,
Ive not had one kid ask
about APR scores from
2012 and 2013. We bring up
the issue and we bring it
up front because we want
to address it. I want to
know what these kids are
really interested. Does he
want to superficial stuff
or does he want to know
hes going to get a great
education and set up himself and his family later in
life?
FAMUs entire score is
from before Samuels
time with the team. Samuels was hired before the
2014-15 season, after Clemon Johnson was fired

and the entire basketball
team left FAMU when the
NCAA first announced
the team couldnt participate in the postseason.
I think too many people make a big deal out of
postseason bans and they
dont realize thats not
why you go to college,
Samuels said.
You come to college
for an education, to make
lifelong friends, to get
your degree. All of those
things are still here.
There are no guarantees
youll make the postseason. I never made the
postseason at UNC Ashville (where Samuels was
named Male Athlete of the
Year in 1986), but thats
not what made me the person I am today.
Samuels said hes

bringing in students with
the ability to graduate,
and added only one team

the NCAA tournament.
Were in a one-bid

Based on hat possibility and Im not trying to
minimize the fun of going
to the postseason if
youre making the decision to come to a university just based on a postseason play, you might as
well just pick a university
based on the team colors
or pick a name out of a

But players on both

American Pharoah arrives at Belmont

Star colt begins
final Triple Crown
preparations
Beth Harris
Associated Press
NEW YORK American

Pharoah arrived in New
York on Tuesday to begin
final preparations for this
weekends
Belmont
Stakes, in which the colt
will try to become the
first Triple Crown winner
since 1978.
After a flight from
Louisville, Kentucky, and
a van ride from an airport
on Long Island, American
Pharoah was quickly
guided off the van in a

steady rain and into Barn
1 at Belmont Park.
A gaggle of photographers and news crews recorded every step taken
by the Kentucky Derby
and Preakness winner,
who was easily identifiable from the other horses
by his unusually short tail.
Trainer Bob Baffert
was on hand to supervise
the unloading. Once inside, American Pharoah
walked around the renovated barn several times
before being led into his
stall. This is Pharoah
weather. He likes wet,
Baffert said. Hes never
stayed in a barn like this.
Its like hes at the Ritz.

After getting settled in,
Bafferts crew planned to
give American Pharoah
plenty of water and his
dinner later. The trainer
explained that when it
rains, a horse often wont
drink enough water and
can get colic.
Owner Ahmed Zayat
welcomed his star horse.
Hes coming in as best
as we could have wanted,
he said. Hes doing everything right.
Temperatures were in
the low 50s, unseasonably
cool for June. The forecast calls for a break from
the rain on Wednesday before showers return on
Thursday and Friday.

American Pharoah won
the Preakness by seven
lengths in the slop after a
deluge hit Pimlico as the
horses were going to the
starting gate.
The forecast on Saturday calls for partly sunny
skies.
I dont want a track
that would hinder their
abilities to perform best,
Zayat said.
American
Pharoah
completed his final major
workout on Monday at
Churchill Downs, where
he covered five furlongs
in 1:00.20 under light rain.
He will go for a light jog
today.

night. And not just once
but four times in seven
games. Some have been
successful. Many have
failed, said Warriors
forward
Draymond
Green, the runner-up for
Defensive Player of the
Year and among at least
four players who will get
their shot at James in the
series.
Defending the fourtime MVP is a challenge
the
Warriors
think
theyre as well equipped
as anybody to face.
They had the top-rated
defense during the regular season and held opponents to a league-low 42.8
percent
shooting.
Theyre loaded with

length and versatility on
the perimeter, and they
lean on 7-footer Andrew
Bogut to back them up
around the basket.
Call it the Irresistible
Force Paradox: an unstoppable force meets an
immovable object. Someone, or something, will
surely have to give in this
matchup. Our defense is
the best in the league, but
were looking forward to
the challenge, Bogut
said.
James had little trouble slicing through Golden States smothering
pressure in the lone game
he played against the
Warriors this season. He
scored a season-high 42
points in the Cavs 110-99
win in Cleveland on Feb.
26, shot 15 of 25 from the
floor and made 8 of 11
free throws.
Warriors coach Steve
Kerr called it one of
those games where he
was making everything.
He said the key to avoiding a repeat performance
is clogging the paint and
avoiding turnovers that
lead to transition baskets.
Sometimes your best
defense is your offense,
Kerr said. You cant get
crazy with the ball. A
live-ball turnover with
LeBron is just a dunk at
the other end.
TAMPA, Fla. The Chicago Blackhawks headed

south this week to secure
a dynasty, and the Tampa
Bay Lightning are the
only obstacle left.
Jonathan Toews and
his
teammates
have
raised the Stanley Cup
twice in the past five seasons, compiling a wealth
of big-game accolades in
seven years as an elite
team. Theyre just four
wins away from a third
NHL title that would establish them as the most
accomplished club of
their era.
The Blackhawks shrug
off the weight of history,
preferring to focus on the
opener of the Stanley Cup
Final tonight.
You never want to rest
on your laurels, the Chicago captain said Tuesday
after practice at Amalie
Arena. You want to keep
creating new moments
and new memories.
The hungry Lightning
look at Chicagos achievements and see everything
they want. After surviving a perilous 20-game

run through the Eastern
Conference playoffs to
earn the franchises first
trip to the final, uncharted
territory doesnt scare
this young Tampa Bay
core.
Theres no doubt
thats a team that you
measure
yourself
against, Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos said.
Theyve been on top for
so long, it seems like they
were always there.
While the Blackhawks
roster is dominated by
two-time champions, Valtteri Filppula is the Lightnings only player with a
Stanley Cup ring. Most of
Chicagos stars are still
largely in their primes,
but Tampa Bay has the
youngest roster in the
postseason.
Chicago
coach Joel Quenneville
has two rings, while Tampa Bays Jon Cooper has
coached just two full NHL
seasons.
We know theyre more
experienced, but were
still excited to be here,
Tampa Bay forward Ondrej Palat said. Were going to do everything it
takes to win the Stanley
Cup.

Bulls introduce Hoiberg as new coach

Former NBA
guard replaces

Andrew Seligman
Associated Press
CHICAGO Fred Hoiberg saw a deep and talented roster with a chance to
contend for a championship and an opportunity that was too good to
pass up.
The long rumored
pairing of Hoiberg and
the Chicago Bulls became official on Tuesday
CHRISTIAN K. LEE/AP
New Chicago Bulls coach

Fred Hoiberg, right, speaks
during a news conference
Tuesday.
when the former NBA

guard and executive left
Iowa State to become the
19th coach in franchise
history, replacing the

fired Tom Thibodeau.
The Bulls are hoping a
new voice is what they
need to contend for a title
after a difficult 50-win
season ended with a loss
to LeBron James and the
banged-up
Cleveland
Cavaliers in the Eastern
Conference semifinals.
I love this roster,
Hoiberg said. I absolutely love this roster. I love
the versatility of the
players, the different
lineups that were going
to be able to play. You can
play small, you can play
big. Youve got lineups
that I think can really get

out and play with pace.
Youve got a great group
of veteran players that
know how to play. I think
Tom Thibodeau is an excellent, excellent basketball coach, and I think he
instilled a lot of unbelievable qualities in this team
that hopefully I can build
on.
Hoiberg went 115-56 at
Iowa State and led the Cyclones to four straight
NCAA Tournament appearances and back-toback Big 12 tournament
titles. He had open-heart
surgery in April.

Newton gets new 5-year, $103.8 million deal

Contract locks up
QB through 2020
Steve Reed
Associated Press
GETTY IMAGES
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has agreed to a $103.8

million, five-year contract extension
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Carolina general manager

Dave Gettleman believes
Cam Newton can lead the
Panthers to the Promised Land so he made the
fifth-year
quarterback
the highest-paid player in
franchise history.
Hell get no argument
from Newton.
I feel like I can get us

there as well, Newton
said of leading the Panthers to their first Super
Bowl title. Theyre not
saying anything I dont
think myself. Nearly two
years after raising questions about his belief in
Newton when he paused
seven seconds before answering a question about
whether he was a franchise quarterback, Gettleman made a huge commitment to the former No.
1 overall draft pick.
Newton signed a fran-
chise record $103.8 million, five-year contract

extension on Tuesday,
capping 11 days of negotiations.
He will earn $67.6 million over the first three
years, the most money
ever paid to an NFL player during the first three
years of a contract, said a
person familiar with negotiations. The person
spoke to The Associated
Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the financial terms
of the extension have not
been released.
Newtons contract is
the largest ever doled out
by Panthers owner Jerry
Richardson since the
team started in 1995 and
will keep the 26-year-old
quarterback under contract through the 2020
season.
I told you guys when I
first walked in the door
after my seven-second
pregnant pause that he
was a franchise quarterback, and nothing has
changed,
Gettleman
said.

ousted from
French Open
Wawrinka rules
Swiss teammate
Howard Fendrich
Associated Press
PARIS Stumbling on
his way to the net, Roger
Federer dropped his
racket and fell to his
knees on the red clay.
Hardly the sort of grace
and precision the world
has come to expect from
the 17-time Grand Slam
champion.
There were other unusual sights in Federers
6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (4) loss in the
French Open quarterfinals Tuesday against his
pal and Swiss Davis Cup
teammate Stan Wawrinka.
I made 30-something errors today. He,
maybe, made one, said
Federer, exaggerating a
bit.
Rarely injured and
appearing in a 62nd consecutive major, Federer
received treatment on
his right hand from a
trainer. For years and
years a dominant and
confident force in tennis, Federer slumped in
his changeover chair,
head bowed, after fall-
ing behind two sets to

none. And, according to
the ATP, this was the
first time since a fourthround loss at the 2002
U.S. Open back before
hed won a major trophy
that Federer failed to
break an opponents
serve once in a Grand
Slam match.
I know that when I
play good tennis, when I
play my best tennis, I
can play so heavy from
both sides that its really
tough for the opponent
to play, said the eighthseeded Wawrinka, who
will play 14th-seeded JoWilfried Tsonga of
France in the semifinals
Friday. Thats why Roger was struggling today.
Its because I was playing so well.
So long superior to
the younger Wawrinka,
Federer was defeated
for only the third time in
their 19 head-to-head
matches, and for the
first time in five meetings at Grand Slam tournaments.
I tried many things,
Federer said. Obviously I was not going to
leave the French Open
without having tried everything out there.

ELLEN J. HORROW AND PAUL TRAP, USA TODAY
OAKLAND
eBron James is a fourtime NBA MVP and twotime Finals MVP, is regarded as the best basketball player on the
planet, might be the most polarizing player in the NBA and is a
tour de force on social media with
21.5 million Twitter followers and
21.6 million likes on Facebook.
Stephen Curry is the 2014-15
MVP, is the greatest shooter of his
time and maybe even of all time,
has a dazzling air that is incredible skill and entertaining showmanship, is only getting better
and has exploded on social media,
especially with the postgame appearances of his adorable daughter, Riley.
Its James vs. Curry, a dream
matchup for the NBA, fans, marketers and all forms of media.
Of course, its the Cleveland
Cavaliers against the Golden
State Warriors in the Finals. But
James and Curry are the central
characters in this play, and when
the NBA sent out its Finals by
the numbers email, the subject
line was: Cavaliers and LeBron
James and Warriors and Stephen
Curry set to take center court in
the Finals.
The NBA is thrilled with this
pairing of superstars. If the NBA
put two names on its marquee after this season, it would James
and Curry. Its a matchup fans
will swarm to watch, even though
the in-demand duo rarely will be
matched up.
James and Curry are 1-2 in jersey sales, and Curry edged James
for most All-Star votes. Since October, they have combined for
28.8 million Twitter mentions.
Has there been a bigger twostar Finals since Magic Johnson
and Larry Bird competed for
championships in the 1980s? Perhaps Charles Barkley vs. Michael
Jordan or Jordan vs. Karl Malone
in the 1990s?
While this is being billed as hu-

man (Curry) vs. cyborg (James),
dont discount the converse.
Curry is the one with moves
seemingly engineered by a gaming developer, and James is the
one who sometimes shoots 10for-30 and suffers debilitating
cramps.
Both are must-see players,
magnetic personalities and marketing
machines,
especially
James, who has deals with Nike,
Kia and Samsung, among others,
has a TV production company
and is a scene-stealer in the Judd
Apatow comedy movie Trainwreck.
James, who closely follows the
NBA and college basketball, recalls watching Curry at Davidson.
I just thought he was special. A
special kid, James said. Im very
good at noticing talent, and I
thought he was special then, and
he still is.
James is also very aware of

Currys rise to stardom, taking
note of Currys All-Star votes and
MVP.
I dont think theres ever been
a guy in our league to shoot the
ball the way he does off the dribble or off the catch, off the ball,
James said. He just creates so
many matchup problems for your
defense, and you just always have
to be aware.
Curry could be on his way to
nudging James out of the picture
as the face of the league, but
James is providing resistance.
He is an amazing combination
of grace, power, court vision and
basketball IQ, able to play multiple positions on the court with
admirable unselshness.
In making quick work of the
Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern
Conference nals, James almost
averaged a triple-double: 30.3
points, 11 rebounds and 9.3 assists, becoming the rst player in

NBA history to average at least 30
points, 11 rebounds and nine assists in a series, according to Elias
Sports Bureau.
This is not his most efficient
postseason or his best, but it remains impressive, carrying a
short-handed,
tight-rotation
squad to the Finals with buzzerbeaters and late-game dominance.
So much of what James says
and does is parsed for meaning,
and he has gone from hometown
hero to despised villain to hometown hero again four wins from
ending a 51-year drought with no
major pro sports championships
in Cleveland.
The contrast between these
stars is what makes this matchup

Lightning covet Blackhawks blueprint

Kevin Allen
kmallen@usatoday.com
USA TODAY Sports
An oddity of this years

Stanley Cup Final is that the
Tampa Bay Lightning are looking
to topple a team they would like
to emulate.
I think any team wants to
build themselves around the idea
they will be a playoff team and a
Stanley Cup contender every
year, and obviously Chicago has
done a very good job of that,
Lightning defenseman Jason
Garrison said. We hope this is
the start of us starting down that
path. We would love to have the
success (the Blackhawks) have
had.
When the puck drops for
Game 1 today (8 p.m. ET, NBC),
the Blackhawks will be facing a
Lightning team that bears an uncanny resemblance to the way
they looked and played when
they launched this run of two
Stanley Cups, and three trips to
the Final, over the last six years.
To see what theyve done the
past ve or six years is impressive, the Lightnings Steven
Stamkos says. Thats how we see
ourselves.
The Blackhawks are a yardstick by which the Lightning can
TAMPA
measure themselves. But to become a team like the Hawks, the

Lightning have to prevent them
from reclaiming the throne.
You look at our team, its a
very young team, Stamkos said.
But weve gained experience as
weve gone along. Weve grown as
a team. You look at the other side
and the experience of the Chicago
Blackhawks and the Cups theyve
won. Obviously, we dont have
that. But you get that as you go
along.
What Tampa Bay does have is
defenseman Victor Hedman, who
is a difference-maker similar to
Chicagos Duncan Keith.
The Lightning have a dynamic
smallish American center in Tyler Johnson, who has one more
point than the Blackhawks dynamic, smallish American winger
Patrick Kane. The Lightning
thunder down the ice and attack
offensively with the same quickness and skill the Blackhawks
command.
Both teams have goalies who
have known peaks and valleys
this season, but Chicagos Corey
Crawford and Tampa Bays Ben
Bishop have been strong in the
most important games.
We have superstar players
who are just coming into our own
here, so, yes, it is like Chicago or
maybe it is like Pittsburgh (in
2008 or 2009), said former
Lightning player Dave Andreychuk, who now works in the
KIM KLEMENT, USA TODAY SPORTS
Lightning goalie Ben Bishop has

been clutch.
teams front office.

Most important, the Blackhawks and Lightning boast highly
respected captains who are
known for playing the right way
and saying the right thing. Jonathan Toews is 27 and Stamkos 25,
and both seem to have the wisdom of an elder statesman.
You want to be like (Toews)
because hes a winner, Stamkos
said. Hes a guy a lot of guys try
to emulate.
When it comes to Stammer,
he always puts the team ahead of
himself, Hedman said. He can
carry us.
Former NHL player Ray Ferraro, now a TSN analyst, said the
Lightning might not be following
the Blackhawks game plan as
much as they are embracing Chicagos mind-set. I think the
Lightning have an arrogance in
the way they play, and I mean
that as a 100% positive statement, Ferraro said.

Ferraro said last years Cup
champions, the Los Angeles
Kings, played with an arrogance.
He viewed this years Anaheim
Ducks as a strong team but with
the arrogance missing. The
Blackhawks played with arrogance, and they beat the Ducks in
the Western Conference nal.
When you watch the Lightning play, it is like, OK, you guys
got two goals, well just get
three, he said. Its really very
similar to the way Chicago plays.
Five of the Lightnings top six
forwards, plus Hedman, are 25
and younger.
The cupboard is pretty full,
Andreychuk said. The lineup is
deep. The superstars are coming
into their own. But there is a window. In the (salary) cap world,
you have to keep the window
open for as long you can. Thats
hard. Teams like Chicago and Detroit are competing every year,
and thats tough to do.
The Lightning have the time
and talent to match the Blackhawks consistency.
But they will have to start by
winning this series. That rst step
might be their most challenging.

HORSE RACING
SCHOOLED AT ARIZONA
Baffert, Pletcher
alums of racing
industry program
Dan Wolken
@DanWolken
USA TODAY Sports
Bob Baffert and Todd

Pletcher, two of the primary human gures in Saturdays Belmont Stakes, have almost been
omnipresent in major races from
coast-to-coast over the last 15
years. Their barns annually churn
out multiple Triple Crown
prospects, and they have ranked
among the top three trainers in
North American earnings every
year since 2009.
But Baffert and Pletcher have
something else in common: degrees from the University of Arizona and a passion for Wildcats
basketball.
Though it is barely known outside of the racing world, Arizonas
Race Track Industry Program
the only one of its kind in the
USA has pollinated every level
of the sport with its graduates. Its
alumni list includes racing secretaries, track managers, simulcast
coordinators, racehorse auction
company presidents, breeding
farm executives and even the race
and sports book supervisor of a
major Las Vegas casino.
But its two best-known graduates will go head-to-head Saturday when Baffert brings
American Pharoah to Belmont
Park with a chance to become
racings 12th Triple Crown winner, while Pletcher tries to keep
that accomplishment vacant for a
37th consecutive year with Materiality and Madefromlucky.
It is a small niche program
and kind of always has been, said
program director Doug Reed,
who has worked at Arizona since
1994. There are a lot of wellknown executives on the racing
industry side, but they dont get
the publicity and TV time that
Baffert and Pletcher do. Bob was
wearing his U of A hat during
Derby week, and we got inundated with calls.
In many ways, their educational backgrounds cut against
stereotypes commonly associated
with horsemen, many of whom

GEOFF BURKE, USA TODAY SPORTS
Bob Baffert grew up two hours south of Tucson.

entered the business as teenagers
and worked their way up from
low-level jobs such as cleaning
out stalls or walking hots.
Pletcher, whose father, Jake,
was a trainer on the Midwest circuit, says he likely would have
gone straight to work without his
parents insistence on getting a
college education. Pat Pope, then
the racing secretary at Louisiana
Downs and a graduate of the Arizona program, suggested he
check out the Tucson school.
I had already decided I wanted to train horses for a living, so it
made sense to go to a college that
at least had something to do with
the industry, Pletcher said. I
ew out to Tucson in December
of my senior year, and if youve
been there that time of year, its a
pretty nice place to be.
Having grown up on the backside, you kind of know this part of
it, but the cool thing about the
program at Arizona is a lot of it is
frontside management, and it
gives you a little different perspective on how that operates.
Baffert, who grew up two hours
south of Tucson on the border in
Nogales, also knew early on he
wanted to train horses. But his
decision to attend Arizona had
less to do with the program
which was just getting off the

ground when he entered college
and more to do with proximity.
That was the only option to go
up there. It was either that or (Arizona State) and we dont like
ASU, he quipped. The racetrack
management program, they had
just brought it in, so I took some
of those courses. It was fun and
all that, but in the back of my
mind I wanted to be a horse
trainer.
I had to go to school because
of my mother. She had to make
sure we graduated. She always
said when I started training horses, When are you going to get a
real job?
The potential for getting a socalled real job is exactly why the
program was created in the early
1970s by a group of executives
who noticed the lack of people in
the industry with degrees. They
pitched the idea to several major
universities, but Arizonas school
of agriculture was the only one to
express interest even though
theres no major Thoroughbred
track in the state.
Now, Reed says the program
typically has around 45 students
per year and three full-time faculty members, with 70% of its budget coming from industry

Adrian Petersons decision to
rejoin his team Tuesday for the
rst time since his legal ordeal
began about nine months ago
gives both sides time to rebuild a
positive image of the franchise
running back and turn the focus
back to football long before training camp begins in late July.
We welcome him with open
arms, unequivocally, coach Mike
Zimmer said Tuesday afternoon
at a packed news conference in
the teams eld house.
There was nothing to suggest
otherwise after Peterson completed his rst practice since
September.
The 2012 NFL MVP did his
part to mute the acrimony, too,
saying he wouldnt choose to be
on another team right now
Im happy with where Im at,
here with the Minnesota Vikings
and dismissing his public musings about his future as a product
of circumstance.
With everything going on in
my life during that time, Peterson said, I really didnt know
what I wanted.
That Petersons agent, Ben
Dogra, made very clear what he
and his client wanted during the
past few months was relatively
inconsequential on this day. So

was Petersons unhappiness over

the lack of guarantees left on
a contract that will pay him
$12.75 million in 2015.
He spoke about the 4-year-old
son he injured with a wooden
switch, precipitating the September felony indictment that in turn
led to Petersons banishment to
the commissioners exempt list.
He spoke about his progress as a
father and said he had fullled
obligations of his plea deal.
Now the Vikings and Peterson,
30, can try to minimize how
much he has to speak about any
of it again not just the incident
and resulting discipline but
thoughts about a trade or retirement, the back-and-forth between Dogra and Vikings management, complaints about his
contract. All of it.
As serious as the situation was,
the legal process has run its
course. So has the process with
the NFL, which reinstated him
April 16. The Vikings want Peterson back, and he wants to play
football, which contractually he
has to do with Minnesota.
We welcome
him with open
arms,
unequivocally.
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer, on running
back Adrian Peterson
The Vikings have their annual

playground build today, giving the
team an opportunity to present
the image of Peterson back in the
community and working on behalf of children something he
has done often during his eight
years with the organization.
Minnesotas organized team
activity practice Thursday will be
open to the news media, provid-
sources. There is a strong emphasis on placing students in summer internships, one of which
sent Pletcher, who graduated in
1989, to Hall of Fame trainer
Charlie Whittinghams barn.
It was pretty cool to spend the
summer working for one of the
most famous trainers in history
and get college credits, Pletcher
said.
Asked why someone who
wants to be a trainer would benet from the program, Reed points
to the marketing and organizational skills it takes to build a major operation such as that of
Pletcher, whose horses won a
combined $22.4 million last year.
Though hes not sure it gave
him an edge training horses,
Pletcher said the opportunity to
do simple things like being a
member of a fraternity would
have been lost on him had he not
gone to college.
You have to learn how to balance your life out a little bit and
be organized and detail-oriented, Pletcher said. If nothing
else, its sort of an important time
to mature and grow and do some
of the fun stuff you dont get to do
when you go to work full time.
It also turned Pletcher and
Baffert into college sports fans
who maintain a connection with

the powerful Arizona basketball
program. Pletcher has hosted former coach Lute Olson at the Kentucky Derby and has invited
current coach Sean Miller.
I have a little bit of a texting
relationship with Lute, Pletcher
said. Thats pretty cool, because
hes a hero.
Baffert has an even closer relationship with Olson and named a
horse in his honor: Midnight
Lute, who won the Eclipse Award
as champion sprinter in 2007.
Baffert attended Arizonas Sweet
16 and Elite Eight games with Olson during the last NCAA tournament but said in more recent
years he also has developed an afnity for UCLA football. The
niece of his wife, Jill Baffert, dates
UCLA senior center Jake Brendel, who was part of their Kentucky Derby entourage.
Ive really become sort of a
UCLA fan being right there at the
Rose Bowl. I try to make all the
games, Baffert said. And Oregon, to me, is like watching American Pharoah. Hes like (Marcus)
Mariota. Hes just so entertaining,
and thats what really catches
peoples eye about American Pharoah. When hes on his game, hes
entertaining.

ing an up-close reminder of what
one of the NFLs best players
looks like on a football eld. (The
team already posted video of Peterson smiling with teammates
and practicing Tuesday.)
Time has softened the blowback the team faced when it
briey reinstated Peterson in
September. The NFL was reeling
then from the Ray Rice video, and
there was a sense the Vikings
were rushing to judge Peterson
innocent. That no longer applies.
I know whats in his heart,
Zimmer said, and I know what
kind of person he is.
Petersons presence this week
doesnt mean the push for a revised deal is over nor that hes
necessarily committed to being in
training camp on time. Time will
tell if his unhappiness will cause
any problems or if the Vikings
were right all along that being a
malcontent isnt in his character.
But showing up now at least
casts Petersons situation in a different light, at a time when all
parties surely hope they can absorb whatever scrutiny awaits, get
the satellite trucks off the lawn
and move forward.
The sooner the better.
so intriguing, as their styles on

and off the court are equally compelling yet so very different. Curry is the boy-next-door type, a 6-3
showman whose nickname
the Baby-faced Assassin perfectly captures all sides of his persona. It seems the soaring
interest in him as a person and a
player is partly tied to the fact
that hes so very different from
someone such as James.
Hes a household name now,
Warriors center Andrew Bogut
said. I think people relate to him
a little bit more because hes not
an overly strong or athletic guy.
Hes very skilled, so I think the
average Joe probably relates to
Steph a little better. (And) hes
exactly the same as he was before
that. It hasnt gotten to his head,
and I think thats a big reason
why hes successful and why were
successful.
Yet while James has been a
global sensation since his early
teen years, fame has been an adjustment for Curry. He wasnt
heavily recruited out of Charlotte
Christian High School, and even
his entertaining Davidson days
werent enough to make him a
top-ve pick in the 2009 draft.
(He was taken seventh overall.)
Now, Curry is routinely
mobbed by fans, whether its in
the San Francisco Bay Area or in
his hometown of Charlotte,
where his father, Dell, played
most of his 16-year NBA career
and their family of ve (mother
Sonya, brother Seth and sister Sydel) spent most of his childhood.
Sonya, like the rest of those
close to Curry, says he has maintained his humble character
throughout. She acknowledges
she is surprised by his popularity.
Yes, yes, she said. Its more
so when we go back to Myrtle
Beach (S.C.), where we go every
year. Weve been going since they

were little. Now we go to walk
down, and we cant. That just
blows our minds. Were like,
These people know him. Theyve
been seeing him (since he was a
child). You cant go in the candy
shop. Some of that is a little hard
to get used to, because weve just
been used to doing it. So yeah, it
surprises me a little.
Said Bogut: There was a time
(this season) in Charlotte I had
actually tweeted it out where
there was a fan who came up, and
(Curry) had food on his fork, in
midbite, and (the fan) wanted a
photo at that very minute. (Curry) said hed do it at the end of
dinner. They grew impatient and
wanted it right then, so they ended up leaving and tweeting some
abusive stuff (at him).
I had to crack back at them
and told them where to go, basically. Thats where it gets tough
for a guy like that.
On the court, its James and
Curry who are making matters
tough for everyone else.

Stricker content in semi-retirement

Window is closing,
and 48-year-old is
fine with that
Doug Ferguson
Associated Press
DUBLIN, Ohio The last

time Steve Stricker had to
qualify for a U.S. Open he
was trying to rejuvenate
his career.
He started the 2006
season at No. 338 in the
world ranking and without full PGA Tour status.
He missed only one cut in
the five tournaments he
was able to play, which he
considered progress. And
then at a 36-hole qualifier
that offered only two
spots, Stricker made it
with rounds of 65-64.
That changed the
course of his career.
He took a one-shot lead
into the weekend at
Winged Foot and tied for
sixth in the U.S. Open. He
was runner-up the next
week, and Stricker was on
his way. Over the next six
years his second career
as he likes to call it
Stricker won nine times,
climbed as high as No. 2 in
the world and became a
regular on the Ryder Cup
and
Presidents
Cup
teams.
Winged Foot was
huge, Stricker said Tuesday. That gave me a big
boost of confidence after
that event.
The
circumstances
will be entirely different
when Stricker returns to
U.S. Open qualifying next
Monday.
This is not about a new
start.
If anything, its the
strongest reminder yet
that
the
48-year-old
Stricker is near the end.
Stricker got an early
start on retirement two
years ago when he began
reducing his schedule.
What is different now is
he no longer can bank on
playing the big events
that have been part of his
GETTY IMAGES

schedule since 2007.

The trade-off was
watching his 16-year-old
daughter play doubles in
tennis and finish third at
state, and watching his
third-grade
daughter
scramble after loose balls
in basketball (She plays
after the whistle, he
said). He has a foundation
geared toward needy children, and he was a key
player in getting a Champions Tour event to Wisconsin.
His golf career is not
over. But its getting hard-
er.
I realize the window is
closing, and Im OK with
that, Stricker said. The
more times Im home, the
more it feels like thats
where I should be. I had a
great window a good
window early in my career and a great one in the
end. And Im fine with
that.
He already is in the
third year of his reduced
schedule, and he is still
trying to shake the lingering soreness of December
surgery to alleviate pain
in his hip. He is playing

the Memorial, which is
only his fifth tournament
of the year.
The biggest concern
about qualifying is mustering the strength to go
36 holes. Since that U.S.
Open qualifier nine years
ago, Stricker has only
played 36 holes in one day
twice Saturday at the
Presidents Cup in 2007
and a 36-hole opener at
Kapalua when the tournament was delayed three
days because of wind in
2013.
It will be a challenge,
he said. Im finding it
hard to put multiple days
of practice together and
tournaments together. So
if I go ahead and make the
cut here, play well here,
and then a quick turnaround, 36 holes on Monday Im going to give it
a rip. I think Ill be fine.
Why bother?
Because its the U.S.
Open, his national championship.
Stricker was in the
grill room at Muirfield
Village a few years ago
when he overheard a
young player saying he
would not bother with
U.S. Open qualifying. The
player had heard stories
about how brutal a week
the U.S. Open can be. He
figured he would be better off staying home that
week unless he already
was exempt, so there was
no need to go through the
hassle of 36-hole qualifying.
Stricker
politely
countered that it was impossible to win the U.S.
Open without playing the
U.S. Open.
And thats where he is
now.
He has 12 career victories. Last year he cleared
the $40 million mark in career earnings.
He no longer has the
desire to practice as hard
as he once did. Part of that
is because his body wont
let him, and part of it is because the more time he
spends with his family,
the harder it becomes to
find a good practice routine.
But its the U.S. Open.
He wants to play, even if
he has to qualify.
I havent done the U.S.
Open qualifier for a number of years, he said.
Im not afraid of it. Im
not afraid of trying to
qualify that way and get
in the tournament that
way. Because you never
know. Once you get in, you
could have a great week
and change the rest of
your year or career
sometimes.
Stricker still is not at
full strength, so thats
probably a long shot.
Besides, what could it
change?
Stricker decided two
years ago that while the
window was closing on his
career, time was getting
short at home, too. And
even though he no longer
is assured of playing in all
the big events, he really
wouldnt change anything.

Nearly one half of our neighbors struggle living from

paycheck to paycheck. Half of them live in poverty
only $20,000 a year for a family of three. Our community
has the opportunity to promote economic security and
mobility. You can help!
www.CACAAinc.org // (850) 222-2043
:HOFRPHWR&RPPXQLW\$FWLRQWith a team of more

than 100 staff working across eight counties, we work
every day to help people in crisis make ends meet while
assisting those in poverty to become independent.
Most of us believe in the American Dream of everyone having the
ability to move up and get ahead. But it is challenging for many.
Too frequently the story is about income inequality. But, that is not
the issue. After all, it is natural that some people will make more than others based
on skill, talent and education.
Poverty is not just about a lack of resources, but a lack of options. Many struggle
each day to get ahead. But they often lack the understanding and connections in
the community to realize their American Dream.
This is not about pulling down the resourced to the unresourced. It is not about new
taxes and programs. It is about how we as a community can empower families
by coming together to bridge the gap from poverty toward middle class. It is about
building capacity and relationships.
We can offer options. You can share your relationships and connections. And,
together, we can have a stronger, more sustainable community.
Authorized by Congress in 1964,

your Community Action has a tripartite volunteer Board of Directors.

communities we serve, one-third are
