Today in HistoryToday is Wednesday, Aug. 8,

the 220th day of 2018. There are145 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:On August 8, 1974, President

Richard Nixon, facing damag-ing new revelations in the Wa-tergate scandal, announced hewould resign the following day.

On this date:In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte

set sail for St. Helena to spendthe remainder of his days inexile.

In 1911, President WilliamHoward Taft signed a measureraising the number of U.S. rep-resentatives from 391 to 433, ef-fective with the next Congress,with a proviso to add two more

when New Mexico and Arizonabecame states.

In 1942, during World War II,six Nazi saboteurs who werecaptured after landing in theU.S. were executed in Wash-ington, D.C.; two others whocooperated with authoritieswere spared.

In 1945, President HarryS. Truman signed the U.S.instrument of ratification forthe United Nations Charter.The Soviet Union declared war

against Japan during World WarII.

In 1953, the United States andSouth Korea initialed a mutualsecurity pact.

In 1963, Britain’s “Great TrainRobbery” took place as thievesmade off with 2.6 millionpounds in banknotes.

In 1968, the Republicannational convention in MiamiBeach nominated RichardNixon for president on the firstballot.

In 1973, Vice President SpiroT. Agnew branded as “damnedlies” reports he had takenkickbacks from governmentcontracts in Maryland, andvowed not to resign — whichhe ended up doing.

In 1993, in Somalia, four U.S.soldiers were killed when a landmine was detonated under-neath their vehicle, promptingPresident Bill Clinton to orderArmy Rangers to try to captureSomali warlord Mohamed Far-rah Aidid.

In 2000, the wreckage of theConfederate submarine H.L.Hunley, which sank in 1864after attacking the Union shipHousatonic, was recovered offthe South Carolina coast andreturned to port.

Thought for Today“Man adjusts to what he should not; he is unable to adjustto what he should.”

A look back at local history aschronicled in the Jackson County

Floridan.

Nixon resignsA nation weary of Watergate andlonging for an end to its divisionswatched with mixed sadness andrelief today as Richard M. Nixonsurrendered the reins of govern-

ment to Gerald R. Ford, who at11 a.m. became President of the

United States.President Ford was sworn in at an

historic White House ceremonyadministered by Warren Burger,

Chief Justice of the UnitedStates.

It was a day of historic firsts.Nixon became the first President

to resign and Ford became thefirst to assume the office without

having first been elected aseither president or vice presidentby all the people of this country.

At 8:09 last night, before anationwide television audienceestimated in excess of 130 mil-lion, Nixon announced he would

step down.Across the nation — in JacksonCounty as elsewhere — citizens

were hoping the trauma ofWatergate had ended and that

the country’s business could beresumed.

—JACKSON COUNTY FLORIDAN,FRIDAY, AUG. 9, 1974

Sidewalk survey: What do you think of Nixon’sresignation?

“Under the circumstances, I think he’d be better off to resign if he’s guilty. Iwish they’d take their mind off Watergate and put it on the economy.” —Odell

Folsom, Marianna“I wish it wasn’t necessary. I think he’s a good man.” —Edith Orcutt, Marianna

“Nixon is not the only one who should be resigning.” —Kay Burke, Altha

“I think it would be best for the country and everyone involved — so theydon’t have to go through all those impeachment proceedings.” —Robert

Felch, Campbellton“I think it’s good. He wasn’t right to be in the White House.” —Margie Glass,

Marianna“I think Ford will make a nice President.” —Janeen Demi, Curwensville,

Supreme Court tohear anti-dog racing

ballot measureTALLAHASSEE — Flor-

ida’s Supreme Court willdecide the fate of a dog-racing amendment thatis supposed to be on thisyear’s ballot.

The court on Tuesdayscheduled oral argumentsto be heard on Aug. 29.The state’s 1st DistrictCourt of Appeal agreedto send the case to theSupreme Court insteadof ruing on the matter.

On Aug. 1 Leon Countycircuit Judge Karen Giev-ers sided with the FloridaGreyhound Association,who argued that the titleof the amendment andthe summary given to vot-ers did not clearly explainwhat it does. The grouprepresents greyhoundowners and breeders.

Attorney General PamBondi, a big proponentof the proposal, im-mediately appealed thedecision and sought anexpedited review by theSupreme Court.

Gievers wrote in heropinion that the proposedAmendment 13 “is mis-

leading and inaccurateand incomplete, whileadding up to a ‘hide theball,” ‘fly a false flag’and outright ‘trickera-tion.’”

For example, voterswould not be told that thestate’s existing dog trackscould eliminate dog rac-ing and still be allowedto offer other types of

gambling. Florida trackscould also still accept betson dog races occurring inother states even thoughthe first words of theamendment say it would

“end dog racing.”Lawyers for the state

argued that voters wouldunderstand the intent.

Malone mayor visits Marianna Optimists ClubSpecial to the Floridan

Malone Mayor Gene Wright ad-dressed and entertained the Opti-mist Club of Marianna at a recentvisit.

Long known for his love of andtireless dedication to his belovedTown of Malone, Mayor Wrighthas also been a fierce advocate forJackson County and the Panhan-dle of Florida. He travels all overthe state, talking to anyone whowill listen about what he refers toas “God’s Country.”

Gene Wright and John Alterfounded the East Jackson CountyOptimist Club many years ago. Hewas elected to the Malone TownCouncil in 1996 and as mayor in2000, a position he has held for thepast 18 years.

Wright talked about the lighterside of being a small-town mayor,which included wrangling an alli-gator at the front door of the phar-macy and an elderly female voterwho said she wasn’t going to votefor him because a possum waseating her cat’s food off of the backporch.

He even once fielded a franticcall from a woman whose bath-room was on fire. When he askedif she had called 911, she replied,“No, I called you. You are the may-

or.” So he called 911 for her.Mayor Wright went on to talk

about growing problems facedby our area. Jackson County has460 employees, many of whichhave either left, or are planningto because of low wages. Wrightsaid that he realizes that financesare tight, but he feels we could bedoing a better job at managingthe money we have and retainingvaluable employees as a result. Hebelieves strongly in supporting our

first responders and would like towork toward improving morale.

“They need to know we are lis-tening and that we care.”

He is also a strong proponent ofpurchasing goods and services lo-cally, if at all possible.

Mayor Wright has raised his twodaughters here and he now hasthree grandchildren that live inJackson County.

“This is my home, and thisis where I will be buried,”

said Wright.Optimists learned that Mayor

Wright earns $350 a month. If yousubtract dry cleaning, fuel, andother related costs from his sal-ary, he very well may be payingfor what he considers the honorof serving his community. TheOptimist Club of Marianna ex-tended its heartfelt gratitude toMayor Gene Wright for his serviceto Malone, Jackson County andNorth Florida.

The declining birthrate and immigrationWomen in America are having so few babies that the

birth rate has hit an historic low, and that does notbode well for the nation’s future. Fewer babies now

means fewer adults later to work, pay taxes, and make sure thecountry’s future remains bright.

The latest report by the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention says there were 3,853,472 births in the United States lastyear — the lowest number in 30 years. The nation’s general fertil-ity rate was 60.2 births per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44, whichrepresented a 3 percent drop from 2016.

Those numbers would be even worse were it not for America’simmigrant population. A study by the Pew Research Centershows 23 percent of all births in the United States in 2014 were toforeign-born mothers. About 275,000 of those babies were bornto unauthorized immigrant parents, which was about a third ofall births to foreign-born mothers that year.

Unauthorized immigrant women birthing babies on Americanshores may raise eyebrows among today’s throwbacks to theanti-immigrant Know Nothing Party of the 1850s. But today’srabid nativists are just as misguided. Immigrants, unauthorizedor otherwise, helped build this country when it was young andare needed now to keep it strong.

The assertion that immigrants are a drain on the economy isfalse, according an analysis by the Wharton School of Economicsat the University of Pennsylvania. “Although immigrants increasethe supply of labor, they also spend their wages on homes, food,TVs, and other goods and services and expand domestic eco-nomic demand,” said the analysis.

“Immigrants, whether high- or low-skilled, legal or illegal, areunlikely to replace native-born workers or reduce their wagesover the long-term,” the Wharton researchers said. “Indeed, theexperience of the last few decades suggests that immigrationmay actually have significant long-term benefits for the native-born, pushing them into higher-paying occupations.”

Look no further than Arizona for a lesson in how anti-immi-grant policies can contribute to America’s baby gloom. Between2007 and last year, the Grand Canyon State saw an overall 20 per-cent drop in births, from 103,000 to 81,000. A major factor in thedecline, according to Arizona State University researcher TomRex, was a crackdown on immigrants entering the state illegallyto find work.

Wider use of birth control and women waiting longer to havebabies play significant roles in the U.S. birth rate’s decline.Welcoming more immigrants would help reverse that trend, butit takes smart political leadership to acknowledge that simpletruth, which these days is sadly lacking.

Don’t let the government censorblueprints for 3-D-printed guns

By Barry P. McDonald

Last week, a federal judge inSeattle effectively blockeda pro-gun group from

publishing computer-codeblueprints that could be usedto make guns with 3-D printers— at least until further hearingscan be held. The restrainingorder will please lawmakers andgun-control advocates who havebeen up in arms following theTrump administration’s deci-sion to let the group publish theinstructions.

But those who oppose theseweapons shouldn’t be cel-ebrating. A government banon publishing such blueprintsis going to be difficult to sus-tain — and that’s probably as itshould be. As one court put itin 2001: “Communication doesnot lose constitutional protec-tion as ‘speech’ simply becauseit is expressed in the language ofcomputer code.”

Various forms of “instructionalspeech,” including computercode that provides directions toboth humans and machines, areextremely commonplace andcan frequently be used for bothgood and ill. For instance, direc-tions for enriching uranium canbe used to make nuclear energyor to make nuclear bombs. It’slikely that the pro-gun groupalso thinks its instructionswill do more good than harm— hence its name, DefenseDistributed.

The most extreme cases, suchas instructions for weaponsthat could endanger nationalsecurity, particularly if exportedabroad, would warrant govern-ment action. But the Trumpadministration represented tothe Seattle court that 3-D-print-

ed guns don’t present such athreatand, in most cases, I doubtthat federal judges — or evenpoliticians — are equipped todetermine what sorts of instruc-tional speech will cause suffi-cient harm for suppression.

Skepticism that governmentofficials can accurately balancethe good and ill effects of speechis properly reflected in theSupreme Court’s free speech rul-ings. While the court has neveraddressed what protection isreserved for potentially harm-ful instructional speech, it hasonly recognized a few narrowcategories of speech that can berestricted on the basis of harm,such as inciting immediate actsof violence.

Moreover, the court recentlysaid it will refuse to recognizeany new proscribable categoriesof speech unless it can be provedthey never enjoyed First Amend-ment protection. This effectivelymeans that the governmentwould likely face an extremelyheavy burden of showing that aban on instructions for 3-D-printed guns was necessary toavert harm.

The court has also long statedthat efforts to ban speech beforeit occurs, as state lawyers areeffectively trying to achieve byhaving the dissemination of theblueprints blocked, are nearlyimpossible to sustain. (Thinkof the famous case, recently de-picted in the movie “The Post,”in which the government lostits bid to prohibit the publica-tion of the Pentagon Papers.)While the punishment of speechafter it occurs might be accept-able in some circumstances, thegovernment has no businesseffectively granting licenses as towhat can or cannot be said.

Given this landscape, then,can the government do anythingto prevent the publication ofinstructions for printing 3-Dguns? Probably not, and this islikely the right answer. Even ifone were comfortable entrustinggovernment officials with thepower to decide which instruc-tional speech warranted sup-pression, it seems implausiblethat legal action could effectivelyprevent the dissemination of3-D-printed gun instructions incyberspace. Information, likewater, has a way of seeping out.

For instance, in a notable casefrom 1979, the governmentactually did bar the publicationof a magazine article contain-ing instructions for makinga nuclear bomb. The courtreasoned that “one cannot enjoyfreedom of speech . . . unless onefirst enjoys the freedom to live.”Yet, on appeal, the governmentabandoned its efforts to defendthat ruling when informationcontained in the article was pub-lished by other media outlets.And like with the publication ofthe Pentagon Papers, no calam-ity resulted — indicating thatclaims of harm from allegedlydangerous speech are oftenoverblown.

And so the most promisingroute to control any harmfuleffects of 3-D-printed gunswould be to go after the weap-ons themselves, not the instruc-tions on how to make them.Anyone alarmed at the prospectof granting the governmentofficials broad power to decidewhat speech is too dangerous forpublication should agree.

Crisis averted by coolprofessionalism

A miracle occurred this pastweek that not many peoplewere not aware of that reflectedon the safety of the county.This past week I observed thesteadfast bravery of a pilot andthe professionalism of our FirstResponders.

Unbeknownst to manypeople, a small aircraft had tomake an emergency wheels uplanding at the Marianna Mu-nicipal Airport. The profession-alism and expertise of all thoseinvolved was on full display.

First the calmness and exper-tise of the pilot in doing whatneeded to be done showedthrough because of his previousmilitary flying skill, it was per-fect execution in an emergency.

Second was the expertiseand professionalism of all theMarianna Airport personnel.Super job.

And finally, and certainly notleast, was the expertise andprofessionalism of our first

responders. Marianna Fire andRescue as well as Jackson Coun-ty Fire and Rescue, Chief NikkiLovett, Chief Scott Birge andsupport from the law enforce-ment agencies, were off thecharts good in their response.

Chief Lovett, who was theIncident Commander, and allthe first responders, were setup and prepared for the worst,which fortunately did not occur.It was a textbook response towhat could have been a poten-tially disastrous situation, butwas handled in a very matter offact and professional applica-tion of the expertise that is evi-dent in all those departments.

I wanted to say thank you toall those who were there thisweek to respond to the inci-dent. They reflect what is trulygood about this county andrepresent us well with not onlyemergency response but alsowith the daily dangerous jobsthey perform to protect us.

The next time you see oneof the above listed personnelon the street or eating lunch,take the time to say thank youfor a job well done. The nexttime you see them, they may bethere for you and provide thoselife saving actions they do forthe people of Jackson Countyevery day.

As for me, it is a pleasure towork with all you professionals;you’re the best we have in thiscounty.

The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE— Florida reacted to theMarjory Stoneman Doug-las High School massacreby becoming the firststate to require police orarmed guards at all publicschools. It's a mandatemany districts are strug-gling to meet, financiallyand logistically.

In the first comprehen-sive statewide examina-tion of the program, anAssociated Press survey ofFlorida's 67 countywideschool districts found allcampuses will be coveredwhen they reopen thismonth, but many dis-tricts are having difficultyfunding the program andfinding enough appli-cants. About a third aresupplementing officerswith armed civilian secu-rity guards, including, insome cases, school staffmembers.

Before the Feb. 14 attack,a few districts already hadofficers at every campus,but the majority of dis-tricts didn't cover any ormost elementary schools,and some didn't staff allmiddle schools.

Now every school musthave armed protectionwhenever it's open. Indistricts that won't havefull staffing in place whenclasses start, local lawenforcement agenciesare filling gaps by takingofficers off the street orpaying overtime.

That's happening inPalm Beach County. Thedistrict budgeted $9 mil-lion to add 75 officers toits 160-member in-housepolice department, andis asking voters to raisetaxes to pay for them. Butit isn't getting enoughapplicants — Florida hasseveral thousand policeand deputy vacancies, andnot just for schools.

"There simply arenot enough officers togo around," said KathyBurstein, Palm Beachschools' spokeswoman.The district, which hasnearly 200,000 students at

170 campuses, will not bearming staff or hiring civil-ian guards.

The Florida Legislaturebudgeted $165 million topartially cover districts'new security costs, butthen cut proposed educa-tion spending. Before themassacre, Gov. Rick Scottrecommended increasingthe districts' base alloca-tion by $152 per student.Legislators, after passingthe security package, cutthat to 47 cents.

"They robbed Peter topay Paul," said Jim Nor-ton, superintendent of thefour-school Bay Countydistrict in the Panhandle.It had two officers butwill now have four plus asupervisor at an additionaldistrict cost of about$50,000 — the sheriff'soffice is covering the rest."We all have the samecommitment to saferschools, but we also have aduty to provide somethingbeyond daycare."

The National Center forEducation Statistics saysa 2016 survey showedtwo-thirds of U.S. middleand high schools had anassigned police officerat least part-time; abouta third of elementaryschools were protectedthis way.

Having an armed guardon campus doesn't guar-antee safety. The deputy atStoneman Douglas didn'tconfront the shooter whokilled 17 people. Ten werekilled in May at a Texashigh school where twoschool officers exchangedfire with the suspectbefore he surrendered.But school officers havestopped other shootingsbefore anyone was killed,such as one in May inDixon, Illinois.

The AP found 45 Floridadistricts are solely usingpolice officers for campusprotection.

Most contract withlaw enforcement agen-cies to hire and employthem, while the few thathave school police forcesare expanding them. Anexperienced officer can

cost $100,000 annually insalary, benefits and equip-ment, and any cost notcovered by the state fallson local taxpayers.

The staffing increasesrange from two officers insmaller districts to dozensin larger ones. Along withprotecting students, suchschool resource offi-cers investigate campuscrimes, make arrests andcan be reassigned off cam-pus during summer andother breaks.

Flagler County Super-intendent James Tagersaid his district south ofJacksonville felt morecomfortable sticking withdeputies, many of whombecome student mentors.He said little thought wasgiven to arming staff.

"Teachers teach and lawenforcement does lawenforcement," he said.

The other 22 districts aresupplementing officerswith "guardians" — armedcivilians or staff. They arevetted, receive 132 hoursof training and must attaina higher score on the statefirearms test than rookiepolice officers.

About 30 states allowschool employees to carryfirearms, with varyingrestrictions, accordingto the Crime PreventionResearch Center . Floridajoined them after theParkland shooting, but leftthis decision up to eachdistrict.

Thirteen of those dis-tricts, mostly rural, arearming volunteer admin-istrators, custodians andother non-classroom staffmembers, who get a one-time $500 stipend. The lawbans teachers unless theyare former police officers,active military membersor Junior Reserve OfficerTraining Corps instructors.

Rick Surrency, super-intendent in PutnamCounty, which bordersFlagler, supports armingstaff because they "have avested interest in protect-ing those with whom theyknow and care for."

The other nine aresupplementing officers

by employing full-timeguardians, at an estimatedannual cost of $30,000to $50,000 each. Theirsole job is stopping lethalattacks. They don't haveother law enforcementpowers or responsibilities,and many districts arespecifically hiring veteransand retired police offi-cers. Six of the state's 10largest districts are hiringguardians, including 55 byBroward County, Stone-man Douglas' district.

"To meet the goal ofensuring there is armedpersonnel on every cam-pus, we are going to haveto, in the short run, pursuemultiple paths," BrowardSuperintendent RobertRuncie said.

Polk County SheriffGrady Judd, an outspokenadvocate of guardians,said they are cost-efficientwhile providing neededprotection, but must bepart of a larger strategy toidentify potential attack-ers in advance and keepthem out of classrooms.

"Guardians are the last,best opportunity to keepchildren safe when allof the other layers havefailed," Judd said.

CAPE CANAVERAL —The first of Christa McAu-liffe's lost lessons finallywas released from spaceTuesday, 32 years after shedied aboard Challenger.

NASA and the ChallengerCenter for Space ScienceEducation posted a videoof astronaut-educatorRicky Arnold performingone of McAuliffe's experi-ments aboard the Interna-tional Space Station.

McAuliffe, a high schoolsocial studies teacher fromConcord, New Hampshire,never got to teach fromspace. She perished duringthe launch of shuttle Chal-lenger on Jan. 28, 1986,

along with her six crew-mates.

June Scobee Rodgers,widow of Challenger com-mander Dick Scobee andthe Challenger Center'sfounding chairwoman, of-fered an emotional thankyou to Arnold during a liveTV linkup. She spoke fromArlington, Virginia, wheredozens of the center's edu-cators and directors gath-ered for an annual meet-ing. Several of them tookturns asking Arnold aboutteaching and life in space.

"From the day after theChallenger accident whenI knew that NASA wouldcontinue the mission, Iprayed that we could con-tinue the education mis-

sion," Rodgers, an educa-tor herself, told Arnold.

Many teachers haveworked to make this pos-sible, she noted, "but yougive us the culmination ofthe dream for Christa's les-sons to come to life."

The first 4 ½-minute les-son demonstrates how amixture separates into itsindividual parts. Arnolduses chromatography pa-per, water, food coloringand a felt pen. Another les-son will be posted onlinein a few weeks. Altogether,about four are planned,including demonstrationsof fluids and bubbles inweightlessness, and SirIsaac Newton's laws of mo-tion.

Arnold, a former scienceteacher, said it's been "anincredible honor" to com-plete McAuliffe's lessons.In orbit since March, Ar-nold is due to come homein October.

Astronaut-educator JoeAcaba also carried outsome of McAuliffe's les-sons, before returning toEarth in February.

NASA calls their back-to-back missions a "year ofeducation on station."

FORT LAUDERDALE —Florida school shootingsuspect Nikolas Cruz tolda detective that a demonin his head — "the evilside" — told him to burn,kill and destroy, and thathe thought about going toa park to kill people abouta week before 17 peoplewere gunned down at theschool, according to a re-cently released transcriptof his interrogation.

During the more than11 hours of questioningby Broward sheriff's De-tective John Curcio, Cruzusually answered in shortsentences or nodded yesor no, speaking so softlythat the detective repeat-edly told him to speak up.Twice when Curcio left theroom, Cruz, 19, cursed athimself and said that hewanted to die, he deservedto die.

"You're nothin'," Cruztold himself, followed bycursing.

The interrogation will bepored over by prosecutorsand defense attorneys ifCruz attempts an insanitydefense or for mitigatingfactors if he is convictedand faces the death pen-alty. Cruz's attorneys havesaid he would plead guiltyin exchange for a sentenceof life without parole.

Prosecutors released the216-page, heavily redactedtranscript of Cruz's post-shooting statement onMonday after a judge ruledlast month that noncon-fession portions shouldbe made public. The in-terrogation began aboutfour hours after the Feb. 14shooting at Marjory Stone-man Douglas High Schoolin Parkland and about 2½hours after Cruz was cap-tured as he walked down anearby street.

The Associated Press andother media had soughtthe statement's releaseunder Florida's broadpublic records laws. Cruz'sattorneys had wanted it

suppressed, saying its dis-closure could hinder hisright to a fair trial.

Cruz's statements aboutthe shooting are blackedout, but the transcript isotherwise wide-ranging,dealing with the death ofCruz's parents, his pen-chant for killing animals,his former girlfriend, hisbrother, guns, suicide at-tempts and, especially, thevoice. He told Curcio thevoice appeared after hisfather died about 15 yearsago but got worse after hismother died of pneumo-nia in November.

Cruz described the voiceas a male, about his age,and said the only personhe ever told about it washis brother.

Curcio asked what thevoice told him.

"Burn. Kill. Destroy,"Cruz responded.

"Burn, kill, destroywhat?" the detectiveasked.

"Anything," Cruz re-sponded.

He told Curcio that hehad to fight the voice fromtaking over, that it wasalways bad. Curcio ques-tioned that, asking howit could always be bad ifCruz had held down a jobat a discount store for twoyears.

"The voice is in here,"he said, apparently point-ing to his head. "And thenit's me. It's just regular metrying to be a good per-son." Curcio said every-

one has a good and badside.

"Do they really?" Cruzsaid.

He said the voice triedto get him to shoot peopleat a park a week earlier. Ormaybe it was three. Cruzcouldn't remember ex-actly, but he didn't want todo it. Curcio asked why hedidn't.

"I ... I don't know," hesaid.

Cruz told Curcio hewanted to join the Army tobe a Ranger but he failedthe written exam "becauseI was stupid."

Cruz said he bought theAR-15 allegedly used inthe shooting a year beforebecause it was "cool look-ing" and "to feel safe." Hesaid he bought other gunsbut fired them only twice,both times into the ce-ment floor of his mother'sgarage.

"It didn't bounce all overhell and creation?" Curcioasked. No, Cruz replied,saying the bullets embed-ded in the concrete.

Cruz said he tried to kill

himself with an over-the-counter pain reliever afterhis mom died and yearsearlier had tried to drinkhimself to death becausehe was lonely.

"You don't have a lot offriends?" Curcio asked.

"No." Cruz said he goesfishing with the demon.

Curcio told Cruz hedoesn't believe the voiceexists, but Cruz insistedit was there and said hewanted to see a psychia-trist.

At the end of the inter-rogation, the detective letCruz's 18-year-old brotherinto the room.

"You — your — peoplethink you're a monsternow," Zachary Cruz toldhim.

"A monster?" Cruz re-sponded.

"You're not acting likeyourself. Like, why? Like,we've ... this is not whoyou are. Like, come on.Why did you do this? Thisis ... don't even laugh atme," Zachary Cruz said.

"I'm sorry, dude," Niko-las Cruz replied.

Metal detectorsdelayed at school

where 17 diedPARKLAND — Metal

detectors will not beinstalled for the start ofclasses at a Florida highschool where 17 studentsand faculty were slain onValentine’s Day.

The South Florida SunSentinel reports BrowardCounty Public SchoolsSuperintendent RobertRuncie sent a letter Fridayto parents of MarjoryStoneman Douglas HighSchool students inform-ing them that plans for themetal detectors were onhold.

A school board work-shop on security measuresis scheduled Aug. 14.Among the issues beingconsidered: how to get3,200 students throughmetal detectors eachmorning.

“As we continue our duediligence to implementthe program — consultingwith vendors and expertsand reviewing turnkeysolutions — many issueshave been raised that re-quire the District to pauseand have a more thought-ful discussion on policyand procedural aspects ofthis pilot,” Runcie wrote.

Class starts Aug. 15.Officials previously said

students would no longerhave to use see-throughbackpacks when theyreturned to the Parklandschool.

School identificationbadges will be requiredagain for all studentsand staff members. Newfences, gates, and surveil-lance video cameras havebeen installed, and theschool’s intercom systemhas been upgraded.

Gay teen kicked outof home will pay $0 to

attend GeorgetownJACKSONVILLE — After

raising nearly $130,000 tocover tuition, a gay Floridavaledictorian who says hisparents kicked him outwill pay nothing to go tocollege this fall.

Georgetown Universityadjusted 18-year-old SethOwen’s financial aid pack-age, reducing his expectedout-of-pocket contribu-tion from $20,000 to $0,news outlets reported.

Georgetown has now en-rolled the co-valedictorianof Jacksonville’s First CoastHigh School in a scholar-

ship program that seeksto make attendance at theuniversity possible for stu-dents in a financial situa-tion similar to Owen’s.

This summer, theGeorgetown UniversityOffice of Student FinancialServices adjusted his aidpackage to consider hiscircumstances. However,there was a remaininggap that would need tobe filled by private loans,which was not a viable op-tion for him as his parentswouldn’t act as guarantorson the loans.

Owen’s aid package hadbeen calculated based onhis parents’ ability to pay.But he says they kickedhim out in February,following disagreementsover his sexuality and anultimatum: attend theirSouthern Baptist churchor leave.

SHILOH — Rehabilitat-ing malnourished, abusedand neglected horses isonly a part of what hap-pens through the HorseProtection Association ofFlorida. Training is a keyelement to readying theanimals for adoption.

Bringing many rescuedhorses back to good healthis just one of the missionsof the Horse Protection As-sociation of Florida. Thegroup also works in part-nership with a star equineParalympian and ParelliProfessional to providetraining for the horses tohelp better their chancesfor adoption.

The association is basedat a farm near Shiloh, innorthwest Marion County,near the Alachua Countyline. Morgan Silver is theexecutive director. She hasformed a partnership with4-Star Parelli Professionaland Paralympian Lau-ren Barwick, who has theBridging the Gap Farm inReddick.

The duo will host openhouse events from 9 a.m.to 1 p.m. Saturday andAug. 25 at Barwick’s farm,located at 2950 NW 137thPlace, Reddick.

Attendees will be ablemeet some of the rescuedhorses that are availablefor adoption and that arecurrently in training withBarwick.

According to her web-site, Barwick was workingat a movie studio ranchthat specialized in horsesand was learning aboutstunt performing whena 100-pound bale of hayfell from 10 feet aboveand broke her back. Shethought she would neverride again, but after meet-ing Linda and Pat Parelliand following their ParelliNatural Horsemanshipprogram, she began tocompete and succeed.She has since attendedfour Paralympics Gamesand four World Games inPara Equestrian Dressage,bringing home gold, silver

and bronze medals. Shealso is a reining championand United States Dres-sage Federation bronzemedalist.

“Lauren is Horse Devel-opment Director for theHorse Protection Asso-ciation of Florida and willpresent eight of the horsesrescued from starvationand neglect who are cur-rently in training at herBridging the Gap Horse-manship in Reddick,” Sil-ver said in a news release.

Silver said open houseattendees can learn “whatParelli Natural Horseman-ship is and how it helpshorses to be calmer, brav-er and smarter throughbuilding a relationship be-tween horse and human.”

“Horses from the HorseProtection Association ofFlorida have been rehabili-tated from the cruelty theysuffered and have been intraining with Lauren for aperiod of time,” Silver stat-ed in the release.

One example of thework done by the associa-tion came on July 9, when,working with the LevyCounty Sheriff’s Office,they took in four emaci-ated thoroughbreds.

“The two 2-year-old fil-lies were critical and closeto death, but with dailytreatment by our veteri-narian for seven days we

know one will surviveand we are hopeful aboutanother, who was in theworst condition of the fourfillies,” Silver noted in anemail.

She said one of thehorses gained 83 poundsin seven days. The othergained 14 pounds in thattime and now is “muchbrighter and starting towalk more like a 2-year-old than like the horsebarely dragging herselfalong that she was lastweek. The two yearlingsare now galloping andbucking like babies should,and should be OK,” Silverwrote.

“We never know long-term with youngsters, howthey will fare, as they canhave damage that showsup later in life from theirbodies leeching mineralsfrom their bones to usefor functioning while theywere starving,” she added.

According to the associa-tion’s website, rehabilitat-ing malnourished, abusedand neglected horses isonly a part of what theydo. Almost every horserequires training or re-training. Many have beenmishandled or physicallyabused. Some are feral.

The care, feeding,grooming and training ofthe horses is costly andtime consuming. That is

why, Silver said, there is al-ways a need for donationsand volunteers.

The association is a reg-istered 501(c)(3) charitableorganization. According toSilver, the organization’sfunds are dangerously lowbut a donor is offering amatching gift challengethrough Aug. 31, up to$10,000. The donations aretax-deductible.

Donations for adoptionsrange from $500 to $1,000,depending on each horse’straining. Adopters receivethree lessons with theirnew horse to make surethe match is successful,she said.

Members of a northernMichigan resort communi-ty have eliminated a bylawbeing challenged in courtthat requires homeownersto be of “Christian persua-sion.”

The Petoskey News-

A group of residents havefiled a federal lawsuit tooverturn the rule, allegingit violates the First Amend-ment. The U.S. Depart-ment of Federal Housingnotified the associated inMay that it failed to proveit’s exempt from a law pro-hibiting discrimination.

The Associated Press

SANTIAGO, Chile — PopeFrancis has praised Chileanbishops for reflecting ontheir failure to listen to vic-tims of clerical sex abuse.

The pontiff said in a let-ter to the Chilean church’sEpiscopal Conference thathe is “impressed by the re-flection, discernment anddecisions” taken by bish-ops when they met lastweek.

“May the Lord rewardyou abundantly for thiscommunal and pasto-ral effort,” the pope saidin the letter, which isdated Aug. 5. “The deci-sions (of the bishops) arerealistic and concrete.I’m sure that they willdecidedly help on this pro-cess.”

Earlier this year, Fran-cis publicly denounceda “culture of abuse andcover-up” in Chile’s Catho-lic Church. He also saidhe was ashamed thatneither he nor Chileanchurch leaders truly everlistened to victims as Chile’sabuse scandal spread.

In May, 31 bishops of-fered their resignation tothe pope. So far Francis hasaccepted the resignationsof five.

Chilean prosecutors alsorecently summoned thearchbishop of Santiago,Cardinal Ricardo Ezzati, toappear in court and testifyabout his role in the allegedcover-up of years of abuse.

There are nearly 50 ongo-ing investigations into al-leged sex abuse includingabout 100 victims, accord-ing to local records. Theinvestigations include re-ports of abuse by bishops,clerics and lay workers.

Francis has admittedhe made “grave errors” injudgment in Chile’s sexabuse scandal and metwith some of the victims inthe Vatican to beg their for-giveness.

Among the measurestaken to repair the damage,the Chilean Episcopal Con-ference has begun provid-ing evidence to prosecu-tors investigating abuse.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. —And your host, Rob Lowe.

The actor will presideover “Mental Samurai,” anew game show on Fox toair during the upcomingseason, the network an-nounced Thursday.

Contestants will be test-ed in such categories asknowledge, memory, num-bers and sequencing whilebeing transported aroundthe set at high speeds in aspecially designed capsulethat rotates 360 degrees.

Lowe says he’s lovedmental competition showsever since he won on anall-star junior version of“The $10,000 Pyramid” in1979.

“For me, ‘Mental Samu-rai’ is addicting,” saidLowe, who will also pro-duce the show. “Every timeyou play, you think: THIStime I’m gonna win! Butthis very simple game is al-most impossible to crack.”

Also getting into thegame-show arena is JustinTimberlake, who helpedcreate the format and willbe an executive producerfor “Spin the Wheel.”

Contestants will have achance to win over $20 mil-lion in each episode of theshow hosted by comedianDax Shepard. It will air onFox during the upcomingseason.

“I can’t think of a betterjob than giving out millionsof dollars to nice people,”Shepard said in a news re-

lease. “It’s my chance to fi-nally be Willy Wonka.”

Players will answer triviaquestions, with each cor-rect answer adding moremoney to the 40-footwheel’s wedges and wronganswers adding wedgesthat could reduce their to-tal to zero.

Celebrities will also geta chance to compete on“The Masked Singer” host-ed by Nick Cannon. It de-buts in January on Fox.

They will face off againsteach other while singingshrouded from head to toein an elaborate costumethat includes a mask toconceal their identity.

Actor-comedian KenJeong, Jenny McCarthy, Ni-cole Scherzinger and Rob-in Thicke will serve on thepanel and try to guess whois behind the mask, alongwith Cannon.

Crime Briefs Driver arrested near Tyndall AFBSpecial to the Floridan

The Florida Highway Patrol re-ports the arrest of a Pensacolaman near the entrance to TyndallAir Force Base on Aug. 3. Agencyofficials say that, on that date, atapproximately 11:04 p.m., troop-ers were called to assist Tyndall se-curity due to a traffic situation atTyndall Parkway and Sabre Driveat the entrance to the base. Whentroopers arrived and began to in-vestigate , authorities say, it was dis-covered that a 2001 silver Mercedes

had traveled off the roadway due tothe vehicle being driven recklessly.

Contact was madewith the driver and hewas identified as Rog-er William Fuller, 29.

FHP reports that“Mr. Fuller was foundto be extremely in-toxicated. A driving-under-the influence

(DUI) investigation was initiated.During the course of the investiga-tion it was found that Mr. Fuller wasin possession of several illegal nar-

cotics on his persons. Mr. Fuller wastransported to Bay Medical Centerdue to his level of impairment fortreatment.

Eleven children, five adults found in ragsin New Mexico amid tale of guns, exorcism

The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Araid on a New Mexico desertcompound turned up 11 childrenwearing rags and living in filth, andalso broke open a bizarre tale ofguns, exorcism, and a search fora missing young boy who suffersfrom seizures and is nowhere to befound.

The boy’s father was among fivepeople arrested after the raid.Documents made public in a courtfiling Monday said the father toldthe boy’s mother before fleeingGeorgia that he wanted to performan exorcism on the child becausehe believed he was possessed bythe devil.

Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefesaid deputies arrested the father,Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, and four otheradults on child abuse charges afterfinding the 11 children Fridayinside a makeshift compound inthe tiny community of Amalia, nearthe Colorado border. It was litteredwith “odorous trash” and lackingclean water, authorities said.

Inside, Wahhaj, 39, was foundheavily armed with multiplefirearms, including a loaded AR-15,before he was taken into custody,the sheriff said.

His son, Abdul-ghani, whowas 3 when he disappeared lastDecember, was not among thechildren found. But Hogrefe saidauthorities have reason to believethe boy was at the compoundseveral weeks ago.

Hogrefe’s deputies are searchingfor the child, along with the FBIand Georgia authorities in ClaytonCounty, where officials say the boywas living before his father tookhim around Dec. 1, 2017.

The boy’s mother told authoritiesthe boy suffers from seizures,cannot walk because of severemedical issues, and requiresconstant attention.

She told police in December that

Wahhaj had taken the boy for atrip to a park and never returned.

Clayton County police said ina missing persons bulletin thatWahhaj and his son were last seenDec. 13 in Alabama, traveling withfive other children and two adults.

Georgia authorities said Wahhajwas traveling through ChiltonCounty on Dec. 13 with sevenchildren and another adult whentheir car overturned. Wahhaj toldpolice the group was travelingfrom Georgia to New Mexico to gocamping.

The trooper who wrote thereport said he found no campingequipment in or near the vehiclebut that Wahhaj was in possessionof three handguns, two rifles, a bagof ammunition, and a bulletproofvest. Wahhaj told the trooper thathe owned the guns legally andhad a Georgia permit to carryconcealed weapons.

“Mr. Wahhaj seemed to be veryconcerned about his weapons andstated several times that they werehis property and that he ownedthem legally,” the report said.

It was not immediately knownMonday whether Wahhaj and the

others charged in the child abusecase in New Mexico — anotherman and three women believed tobe the mother of the 11 children —had retained attorneys.

The Taos County sheriffidentified the women facingcharges as 35-year-old JanyLeveille, 38-year-old HujrahWahhaj, and 35-year-oldSubhannah Wahhaj. They werearrested in the town of Taos andbooked into jail.

The search at the compoundcame amid a two-monthinvestigation in collaboration withClayton County authorities and theFBI, according to Hogrefe.

He said FBI agents surveilled thearea a few weeks ago but did notfind probable cause to search theproperty.

That changed when Georgiadetectives forwarded a message toHogrefe’s office that initially hadbeen sent to a third party, saying:“We are starving and need foodand water.”

What authorities found was whatHogrefe called “the saddest livingconditions and poverty” he hasseen in 30 years on the job.

Oklahoma man arrested on local drug chargesSpecial to the Floridan

An Oklahoma man wasarrested in Jackson Countyon Sunday, Aug. 5, chargedwith possession of mari-juana-more than 20 gramsand with possession ofa controlled substance-methamphetamine, ac-cording to a press releasefrom the Jackson CountySheriff’s office.

Kelvin E. Martin, 62, ofTulsa, was pulled overafter the JCSO receivedcomplaints of a recklessdriver traveling on PennAvenue towards Interstate

10. Deputies respondingto those complaints re-portedly saw a 2007 BMWwith its driver “exhibit-ing behaviors of recklessdriving in that area,” andinitiated a traffic stop. Of-ficials say he continued totravel west outside the citylimits of Marianna, wherePenn becomes KynesvilleRoad, for approximatelytwo miles before eventu-ally yielding to emergencylights.

When they approachingthe driver, later identi-fied as Martin, deputiesreportedly became suspi-

cious of the possibility ofimpairment. They reportseeing suspected marijua-na pieces scattered on hisshirt and pants. Probablecause searches of his per-son and of the vehicle wereconducted, authorities re-port, and large quantity ofsuspected Marijuana wasretrieved from the car’strunk.

Also located during thesearches, officials say,was a small quantity ofsuspected methamphet-amine. It was determinedthat Martin had left hisresidence in Oklahoma

and was attempting totravel to his brother’s resi-dence in Fayetteville, Ar-kansas. Authorities sayMartin did admit to usingmarijuana throughout thisendeavor “and ultimatelyresulted in him reachingJackson County.” Relativesof Martin were reached inattempts to inform themof his well-being.

In the press release,Jackson County SheriffLou Roberts extendedhis “gratitude to the con-cerned citizens of Jack-son County for their vigi-lance.”

MIAMI BEACH — Ayear after Will and DanielPayne lost their mom, andnearly two decades sincetheir father’s death, it wastime to follow their wishesfor the afterlife.

As they board a boat withthree generations of fam-ily, the brothers slip intoflippers and de-fog theirmasks. Will, who becamea certified scuba diver justdays earlier, checks hisoxygen tank and jumpsinto the azure waters tosecure a concrete markermixed with their ashes at amemorial reef about threemiles out to sea.

This unusual restingplace is exactly what thePaynes say their parentswanted. Buel Payne, a for-mer Coast Guard member,and Linda Payne, whogrew up on the water andloved boating, will spendtheir afterlife in a memo-rial modeled after the lostcity of Atlantis, among im-pressive lion statues andornate gates and pillarsthat encrusted with sealife.

It took nearly four yearsfor multiple governmentagencies to sign off onthis underwater mauso-leum, which is designedto encourage a healthyecosystem. Roughly a de-cade later, the NeptuneMemorial Reef is hometo the cremated remainsof 1,500 people, and anysnorkeler or scuba divercan visit.

The Paynes are the firstto be memorialized in thereef’s expansion, whichopened this summer andwill make room for anadditional 4,000 memori-als over 16 acres, about40 feet deep. Placementsstart around $1,500 andcan go up to $8,000, withthe priciest placementsfor specialized shapes like

sea turtles and stingraysor for prominent spotsthroughout the city likethe lions.

With reefs strugglingworldwide against cor-al bleaching and otherthreats, the memorial’sbuilders are provid-ing coral a head start.The concrete structuresoffer a high pH level,enabling sea creatures toflourish.

“We’re seeing animalshere that we haven’t seenbefore. Ones that havebeen missing for a longtime,” says Jim Hutslar, thereef’s operations directorand one of the founders.“We actually found a longspine sea urchin that wasconsidered extinct in theCaribbean Sea.”

Sara Thanner, an en-vironmental supervisorfor the Department ofRegulatory and EconomicResources, says an Aprilsurvey showed the reefsupports more than 65different fish, shrimp andlobster and 75 other spe-cies including sponges,soft corals, and hard cor-als.

For people makingend-of-life plans, thereef means being part ofsomething living. Huts-lar is hoping that decadesfrom now, the memo-

rial will have grown into amassive coral reef whereindividual markers will nolonger be distinguishable,and “family members willjust know their loved onesare part of it.”

“We’re creating life afterlife,” he said.

While Hutslar, Will andanother diver descendedto the ocean floor, Dan-iel and his wife and threechildren snorkeled onthe surface, gazing downthrough the strong clearcurrents. They spotted aparrot fish, barracuda anda monster snook. Abun-dant schools of small, col-orful fish darted in and outof the sculptures.

They had picked out asmall bronze headstonereading “Together at Last”

to mark the ashes, add-ing their thumbprints ona decorative concrete seashell. The divers picked aspot amid the underwatercity’s striking columns andstatues.

“It’s just amazing. It’sso peaceful,” Will, 48, ofSachse, Texas, said aftersurfacing. “If there is aheaven, that would be itfor them.”

Back on the boat, the

family snacked on cookiesand oranges and enjoyed aday at sea, laughing, hug-ging and crying at times.The men’s aunt and unclealso brought red roses thateach member of the fam-ily tossed overboard.

Daniel, 41, of Princeton,Texas, said he plans to getscuba-certified so he cansee it up close, and returnevery year.

“I really didn’t get it when(my mom) was telling meabout it and the more andmore I think about it, it’sreally a nice, peaceful spotfor your last resting place,”he said.

Hutslar and his part-ners were solely focusedon supporting marine lifeat first, figuring the cem-etery would help pay forthe reef. But he’s helpedhundreds of families saygoodbye to their lovedones over the years, givinghim a calling he’s come tocherish.

“This has actually be-come my favorite part —being with the families,”said Hutslar.

Memorials for childrenespecially stick in hismind. There’s somethinghealing about the ocean.He says you can see itwhen families return tothe surface.

the two entities can agreeon a sharing of that re-source. Nelson said hebelieves Amtrak has beenconvinced that the regionwants that to happen,saying the company’s un-certainty on that pointwas a one-time hurdle, heindicated that has beenovercome. But achievingwhat’s left to achieve — anagreement between thecompanies — is proving tobe a slow and unguaran-teed process.

Nelson also spoke aboutthe importance of en-suring the expansion ofbroadband service in ru-ral areas of the nation forthe sake of providing ruralchildren the same levelof access to educationaltools as their more urbancounterparts.

He also touched on the

need for more access toaffordable housing andhealth care services.

In his informal talk, hedidn’t mention that he isrunning for office.

When Nelson arrived at

the front entrance around12:30 p.m., a group ofabout six people carryingsigns critical of him werestanding fairly nearby, butdidn’t approach or say-ing anything to him. They

remained for the periodhe was there. When Nel-son left the airport, hewent out a back door withno encounter before heboarded a small plane anddeparted.

be manned to the neces-sary standard. The medicaldirector was to make thecall on when to sideline anambulance.

Daniels said it was madevery clear to Birge that, ifthe plan wasn’t workingout, it could be revisitedin additional meetings be-tween the three. She saidshe believes he was fullyaware that he should notdeviate from the plan onhis own.

But in July, with 19 in-stances of sidelining nec-essary, Birge parked theAlford and Campbelltonstation ambulances acombined 18 times, ratherthan rotating across theboard as had been agreed.In June, Daniels said, thesidelining was similarlylopsided although not tothe same extreme.

She asserts that Birgealso failed to notify her, asshe’d instructed more thanonce, each time sideliningwas necessary. In July, she’dbeen told only six of the 19times it was done. Havingbeen told more than oncethat it appeared the shut-downs were not evenly ro-tated, she said, she pulledreports for the time inquestion and learned thenumbers.

She said Birge acknowl-edged that he and at leastsome on his team hadbeen reluctant to shutdown Marianna ambu-lances, based on the factthat more calls are typical-ly generated in the heavi-est population base.

Although that may betrue, Daniels said, Birgeshould have said so andasked for a meeting to re-visit the plan rather thanmake a decision on hisown to so markedly shiftthe rotation schedule.

“The management andadministrative decisionsare a lot of times basedoff the egregiousnessof things,” Daniels said.“Some things are of lessconsequence than others,but to violate a policy thiscritical — it was not withinhis authority to change thepolicy.”

Because he is neither aunion employee nor theadministrator — the onlyemployee types in countyemploy that have the op-tion of a hearing to chal-lenge such actions — Birgewill not have that opportu-nity to fight his dismissal.

In the disciplinary actionform Daniels generatedregarding the dismissal ofBirge, she also listed thefollowing additional is-sues: Problems with pay-ing invoices/bills; poorjudgment regarding main-taining ambulances; ap-proving excessive leave ofstaff (indicating problemswith leadership and abil-ity to maintain control ofstaff); requests for mul-tiple items that I (Daniels)have never received; cod-ing invoices to separatebetween fire and EMS(was) requested by emailseveral times but neverimplemented. She also in-dicated Birge had not, asdirected, communicatedcertain billing informationto a citizen, had not partic-ipated in generating ideas

for handling one particularstation as requested, andhad not provided her withcomparative informationshe had requested regard-ing fire marshal costs inthe surrounding region.

As for placing Foremantemporarily over Fire Res-cue, rather than choosingsomeone from within it,Daniels said she felt that,with emergency man-power shortages already aproblem, it would be un-wise to pull someone outof the rank-and-file and offthe road to do administra-tive chores.

“We have wonderfullycapable team there, but itwouldn’t do anyone anyfavors to remove anyonefrom that rescue functionwhen we’re already short-staffed and having to parkambulances sometimes,”Daniels said.

She said she expects toadvertise the job as soon aspossible to find a perma-nent replacement to leadfire and rescue. She’s stillworking out the job de-scription she wants to postand it’s nearing comple-tion, she said. Qualifyingpeople within the depart-ment will be welcome toapply, she added.

Meanwhile, she’s confi-dent she’s made the rightdecision in putting Fore-man at the helm tempo-rarily.

She said she’s been im-pressed with the job he’sdone since he came on aschief of corrections. Mo-rale appears to have no-ticeably improved in thatdepartment, she said, andForeman has a significantbackground in union rela-tions, having come herefrom the federal prisonsystem, which has a union,as does Jackson CountyFire Rescue.

“He’ll be serving instrictly an administra-tive role, to provide somefresh insight and identifysome things we could im-prove,” Daniels said. “He’sa very strong leader and,in my judgment, will servein that capacity perfectly.He’ll have full administra-tive authority, within therules of the union contactand all the normal guide-lines that apply. I reallydo believe that we can fo-cus on a positive futureahead. I know there’s muchnegative pressing in onus sometimes, but I havedone what I think is rightfor the county under thecircumstances. I believeI would have been hypo-critical to ignore the situa-tion because it might havebeen uncomfortable. I hadto hold myself accountablejust as we ask others to do.”

DEBORAH BUCKHALTER/FLORIDAN

With a local law enforcement escort, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson approaches the door at the MariannaMunicipal Airport’s fixed base operation, Tuesday, Aug. 7.

BY DEBORAH [email protected]

Jackson County Com-missioners will meet at1 p.m. today and couldponder whether to rolltaxes back to a rate of7.8485, lower than thecurrent year, in order toavoid a tax increase, orif they will instead stickwith the advertised pro-posed millage of 7.9500.That’s 1.29 percent overthe current tax rate andwould result in an overallincrease of $150,172 thatthe county could use insetting its budget.

The entire projectedincrease would come toaround $156,968, but thecounty, by state law, canonly budget 95 percent of

its projected property taxrevenues.

The rolled-back rateis determined by look-ing at how much prop-erty value has come ontothe rolls since the lastbudget was set, whetherthrough improvementsto property through thecourse of the year or byother means.

On Aug. 2, the board setthe proposed millage at7.9500 and at this pointcannot go higher. But theycould still reduce it to therolled-back rate.

Some factors are work-ing against that outcome.The board, for instance,is trying to find money fora 2.5 percent employeepay raise, and have tasked

budget officer DanielleMcDaniel with searchingfor it in a detailed analysisof what’s left over due toopen positions and otherreasons in the currentbudget year. She’d builtthe budget without anyraises, and based her over-all budget numbers on theroll-back rate. This is thetypical practice at budgettime.

The county is also fac-ing an expensive roof re-placement or repair at thecounty jail. If it must be re-placed, the expense is esti-mated at $1.4 million. Andthere’s another $52,000roof problem at the agri-culture center.

Toward the goal ofavoiding the tax increase,

commissioners are con-sidering financing, ratherthan paying outright, forthose projects. If the jailroof isn’t financed, thecounty would have tofind $250,000 in this year’sbudget and at least anoth-er $450,000 next year.

With the first publichearing on the budget setfor Sept. 10, McDaniel saidthe board has expressedhopes that enough moneycan be found in order tohave rolled back the rateat that point.

The tax increase pro-posed would result in anestimated $20.34 lumpsum increase in taxes nextyear for a person who hada taxable property value of$200,000.

GRACEVILLE CHEERLEADERS

Marianna Middle School Head FootballCoach Jamie Godwin thinks the Bullpupswill be an interesting team to watch thisseason.

Godwin said that he expects the team toplay to the end of every game.

“I don’t think we’ll ever give up.”While it’s still early in the year, Godwin

said the potential for success was there

because of several returning playersbringing experience to the team.

“If we stay injury free, I think we are go-ing to have a really good year,” he said.

He also said the returners are steppinginto leadership roles on the team.

“That’s something we haven’t had inseveral years at the middle school.”

Godwin added that he was seeing a lotof effort and intensity during practice,but the team still has a long way to go be-fore the start of the regular season.

Their first game will be jamboree inFreeport on the Aug. 16, but the regularseason will start on Aug. 30 with a roadgame against Riversprings.

He thinks the team will be effective on of-fense, but they will be working on defense.

“That’s the only thing that worries me,”Godwin said.

Bad weather kept them from practic-ing last week and because of that, theyhaven’t determined the best spots foreach player.

Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts (2) and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (13) runs drills during a NCAA college football practiceSaturday in Tuscaloosa, Ala. (AP Photo/Butch Dill)

The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. —Jalen Hurts is the strong-armed running threatwho has mostly won dur-ing his Alabama career.

Tua Tagovailoa is theprized, left-handed re-cruit who rallied theCrimson Tide to a nation-al championship.

It’s a quarterback com-petition, Alabama-style.Totally win-win.

The Crimson Tide hastwo good options tochoose from, and the de-cision will be based onwhat everything is at Ala-bama: Victories that makethe Tide national andSoutheastern Conferencetitle contenders.

“A guy that wins,” is howoffensive coordinatorMike Locksley boils downwhat the Tide’s lookingfor.

Both players seem capa-ble of doing that, even ifthey have different stylesand strengths.

Greg McElroy, SEC Net-work analyst and formerAlabama quarterback, fig-ures it might come downto whether Tide coachNick Saban wants to bankon the defense and gowith the quarterback whomakes the fewest mis-takes or turn to the onewith more of a gunsling-ing style.

While Tagovailoa is the

presumed front-runner,McElroy believes it re-mains “very much up inthe air” who will start theopener against Louisvillein Orlando.

Hurts was only inter-cepted once last seasonand has gone 13-1 as astarter in each of his firsttwo seasons with a pairof trips to national titlegames.

The Tide lost eight de-fensive starters from lastseason’s title team, andprojected first-team line-backer Terrell Lewis hadknee surgery in July.

“Now, if I were to handi-cap it myself, I would sayTua would probably havethe inside track just givenhow he played againstone of the best defenses incollege football last year,”said McElroy, who led Ala-bama to the 2009 nationalchampionship. “But I alsoknow that Jalen did a greatjob in providing the teamexactly what it was theyneeded in the (13) gamesleading up to that cham-pionship game.

“I don’t think it’s asclear-cut as everyone elseseems to think it is but Istill think that Tua wouldhave the inside track.”

Tagovailoa passed forthree touchdowns afterhalftime of the title gameagainst Georgia’s stingydefense, including the41-yard winner to fellow

freshman DeVonta Smithin overtime.

He also was picked offonce and was sacked onthe play before the TDstrike.

“We have film of good,bad and ugly and that’sdefinitely been on theugly,” Tagovailoa said.“It’s most definitely some-thing you can learn from.Instead of taking a sack,throw the ball away.”

Hurts has struggled infour playoff games, total-ing just 329 passing yardswhile also making someplays on the ground andbeing named offensiveMVP of last season’s semi-final game.

But he was the SEC of-fensive player of the yearas a freshman. He hasrun for 1,809 yards and 21touchdowns in two sea-sons, though his passingyards per game dippedlast season from 185.3 to148.6.

Hurts vented over theweekend about Alabama’shandling of the quarter-back situation and com-ments from Saban, sayinghe told Saban in June thathe would remain this sea-son and not transfer.

One thing he insists he’snot sweating: competi-tion.

“I’m definitely not look-ing over my shoulder, I’mnot worried about any-body else,” Hurts said.

“I’m just worried aboutme, Jalen Hurts, being thebest player that I can be,be the best quarterbackthat I can be.”

Tagovailoa, a formerfive-star recruit from Ha-waii, showed off plenty ofability in backup duty asa freshman last season.He passed for 636 yardswith 11 touchdowns andtwo interceptions, one ofwhich was returned 93yards for a touchdown ina blowout of Tennessee.

He didn’t bite on a ques-tion at Saturday’s mediaday about what it willtake for him to be namedstarter.

“For me, I’m not re-ally focused on winningthe job,” Tagovailoa said.“I don’t think that’s everbeen in my persona. Ithink what we have to doas a team is what’s mostimportant to me. We’vegot to focus on what wecan do now to better our-selves, better each other.

“As the season goes on,we’ll see and what-not.”

It is clear who willchoose the winner. Sabansays there will not be “astraw poll,” and Locksleysays it’s the head man’scall.

He did praise both can-didates’ approaches andwork ethics, with his com-ments coming shortlybefore Hurts aired hisgrievances.

» Backspin: Hard to believe he still only has one major,and maybe that’s due to change. Bellerive is a tree-linedpower course that should suit him well provided hedoesn’t try to force it, especially on the greens.

Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Mis-souri, last hosted the PGA Championshipin 1992 when Nick Price won the first of

his three majors. The course was the scene ofGary Player’s ca-reer Grand Slam inthe 1965 U.S. Openand was the site ofthe BMW Cham-pionship in 2008.The country club began as a nine-hole course in1897, is named after the last French commanderin North America, and moved to its current loca-tion as the “Green Monster of Ladue” in 1960.

ABOUT BELLERIVE A glance at some history and six key holes at Bellerive Golf Course.YARDAGE & PAR

7,316 yards • Par: 35-35 — 70

No. 10508 yards, par 4

In addition to No. 4,this is the other holethat plays as a par 5for members. Playersmust hit the fairwayto reach the greenwith the second shot,especially with acreek in front of thegreen. The green iswide and shallow, andmost players will hap-pily take par to startthe back nine.

No. 11355 yards, par 4

On the shortest par 4at Bellerive, the teesmight be moved up forone round to temptplayers to go for thegreen. Otherwise, it’sa matter of laying upto whatever distancethe player chooses.The toughest pin posi-tion is back and to theright, especially if theapproach is anythingbut a clean lie.

No. 14410 yards, par 4

One of the morepicturesque holeson the course,players will hittheir approachshots into a greenthat overlooks thelower holes on thecourse and providebeautiful views. Pro-vided the tee shotis in play, it shouldprovide plenty ofbirdies, too.

No. 16237 yards, par 3

The longest par3 on the coursefeatures two largebunkers beneaththe front of thegreen, making fora difficult par save.The green is largeand accessible witha long iron, but bigmisses are likelyto lead to droppedshots.

— Capsules and photos by The Associated Press

No. 6213 yards, par 3

A swale in the middleof the green shouldmake for an excitingpar 3 when the pinis there and ballsfeed toward the cup.Water guards mostlythe right side, so thefront and back-rightpin positions figure tobe the hardest. Thishole played to a 4.03scoring average in the1965 U.S. Open.

ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

No. 18457 yards, par 4

An accurate tee shotwill go a long way at theclosing hole, or it couldbe difficult to get thesecond shot onto thegreen. There are no pinpositions that allow foreasy birdies, and parsbecome more difficultwhen the hole is cutto the back and to theright.
