A fully-involved blaze brought
Palatka Fire Department firefighters to 804 N. 16th St. at about 12:10
p.m. Thursday.
“It was all ablaze when we got
here,” said Fire Chief Mike Lambert.

corner of 16th and Eagle streets, sat
next to a boarded-up, single-story
home on the corner.
Firefighters sprayed water on the
abandoned house and tore the
boards off the side windows to make
sure there was no fire in it.
Although the house that burned
had not been used as a residence for
a long time, owner Sharon Turner
said she believed someone unintentionally set the fire while smoking
in the home.
“The house doesn’t have any utilities,” Turner said. “I think someone
was smoking and fell asleep. I don’t
think they did it intentionally.”

Turner said she stored sofas and Masked Palatka firefighters take turns fighting a fire from inside an

destroyed by the flames. The house’s owner said it contained mostly used

Thieves have shown increased
interest in stealing guns from
cars, SUVs and trucks.
According to a Palatka
Police Department report,
vehicles left unlocked or with
valuables left in plain view
remain easy targets for
thieves.
The report
added many
of the vehicle
burglaries
have occurred during
overnight
hours while
the vehicles
were parked Getchell
at the victims’ residences.
“In the first six months of
2014, there were 48 reported
thefts from vehicles in the
city. In June, the department
recorded 11 vehicle burglaries
with three guns stolen from
three different vehicles,” said
Police Chief Gary Getchell.
“Stealing a gun is a major
score for a vehicle burglar and
provides a good amount of pay
for a few minutes work.”
Stolen guns go right into the
waiting hands of criminals
who will likely use them in
criminal activity in the area or
across the country, Getchell
said. The last thing a responsible gun owner wants to hear is
that his gun was used to harm
or kill an innocent person.

Sheriff suspends
4 for botched arrests
A Northeast Florida sheriff has
suspended two detectives and two
supervisors for wrongfully arresting
a Louisiana woman.
Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler
announced the suspensions
Wednesday. He said his office will
also be instituting new policies,
including an arrest check list that
deputies must fill out.
Earlier this year, the sheriff’s
office extradited 28-year-old Ashley
Nicole Chiasson from Chalmette,
La., and jailed her twice on separate
charges. They eventually realized
their mistake and arrested 31-yearold Ashley Odessa Chiasson last
month.
Both detectives face 30-day suspensions. One supervisor will be out
five days and the other, seven. All
suspensions are without pay, and all
four men will be reassigned to patrol.
Officials say the mistakes included incorrect identification of Ashley
Nicole Chiasson, not showing a
photo lineup and not reviewing case
evidence.
Officials say a man who was killed
by Jacksonville police was likely trying to commit suicide by cop.
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Chief
of Detectives Adam Brown said
Wednesday that 59-year-old Michael
Jones Keys Sr. had called 911
Tuesday threatening to kill himself
and others.
When officers responded to Keys’
home early Tuesday evening, authorities say he went back inside,

Vacationers leave as Arthur nears North Carolina
By Emery P. Dalesio
Associated Press
RODANTHE, N.C. — Hurricane
Arthur gained strength in the
Atlantic on Thursday and threatened to strike near the North
Carolina coast on Independence Day,
prompting thousands of vacationers
and residents to leave parts of the
state’s popular but flood-prone Outer
Banks.
Nichole Specht, 27, and Ryan
Witman, 28, had pre-loaded their
Honda CRV and left Hatteras Island
at 3:30 a.m. Thursday, beating the
expected traffic jam. The island was
under an evacuation order, with no
traffic allowed in. Officials asked an
estimated 35,000 residents and travelers to leave through North Carolina
Highway 12, the only road on and off
Hatteras.
Specht and Witman found the
road wide open for their return home
to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Specht
said her parents left their rental
later, at 5 a.m., and also found clear
sailing.
“We were just saying we were really, really lucky this year that the
weather was so great, and then this,”
Specht said as she ended a two-week
vacation that included scouting sites

About 600 veterans
honored at 2 events
Nearly 600 more Florida veterans
have received honors from Gov. Rick
Scott.
The governor held ceremonies
Wednesday in Jacksonville and

125th Fighter Wing. In Orlando, 179
veterans received the award at the
headquarters of the 2nd Batallion,
124th Infantry.

Forecasters expect Arthur to speed
up to a Category 2 storm and pass
over or near the Outer Banks — a
200-mile string of narrow barrier
islands with about 57,000 permanent residents — early Friday, bringing rain, heavy winds, storm surge
and dangerous rip currents.
Category 2 hurricanes pack winds of
more than 96 mph.
“We don’t know for sure if the
exact center of Arthur is going to
pass over land or not. The chances
have been increasing for that to
occur with the last couple of forecasts. But even if the exact center
doesn’t go over you, you will experience impacts tonight. The weather is
going downhill in North Carolina,
even as we speak,” said Rick Knabb,
the director of the U.S. National
Hurricane Center in Miami.
Before the storm hit, tourism officials had expected 250,000 people to
travel to the Outer Banks for the
holiday weekend. Gov. Pat McCrory
sought to strike a balance between a
stern warning to vacationers and
optimism that part of the busy weekend could be salvaged.
On Wednesday, he warned people:
“Don’t put your stupid hat on.”
But the next day, even as the
7-Day Local Forecast

storm gathered strength, he said: “Of
course, this holiday weekend, the
July 4th weekend, is one of the biggest weekends for coastal tourism in
the state, and we anticipate a beautiful weekend after the Tropical Storm
Arthur or the Hurricane Arthur is
out of North Carolina.”
Some visitors stayed put, hopeful
the fast-moving storm would follow
predictions to pass through by
Friday afternoon. About 20 miles
north of the only bridge off Hatteras,
Sean Fitzgerald and his 5-year-old
son, Cade, enjoyed a sunny morning
lounging in beach chairs in the town
of Kill Devil Hills.
The sand was dotted with tourists.
A handful of surfers took to the
water. Like all areas north of Oregon
Inlet, Kill Devils Hills wasn’t under
an evacuation. Fitzgerald said he
saw no need to disrupt his family’s
vacation.
“I plan to sit on the beach as long
as the sun is here,” then head out for
a seafood dinner, said Fitzgerald, 44,
of Fairfax, Virginia.
Those who don’t evacuate the
islands should prepare for possibly
getting stuck for several days without food, water or power, National
Hurricane Center forecaster Stacy
Stewart said Thursday.

Sea turtle
season off
to slow start
Associated Press
ST. AUGUSTINE — Sea
turtle season has gotten off to
a slow start in northeast
Florida, especially among
green turtles.
Wildlife officials say 195
nests have been located so far
this year, compared to 367
that were spotted by early
July 2013. In addition, only
two green turtle nests have
been discovered this year,
compared to 11 last year.
Some say the low numbers
could be the result of an
unseasonably chilly April.
In southeast Florida many
loggerhead turtles have
already started nesting.

was a lot of work,” Drew said.
“There’s still mud in there and
you can see where the grass is
growing again. You have to
stay on top of it.”
With the help of the weir,
volunteers hope to direct the
flow of water as it arrives at
the west pond. Franz said the
next step would be to build a
water wheel between the pond
and the wetlands area.
“We hope to restore the wetlands area to a freshwater
marsh with native plants,”
said Shann Purinton, chair of
waterworks advisory group.
“We’re really excited about
this.”
The Water Works plant provided water for Palatka from
1886 until 1996. The wetlands
restoration project would
restore the property back to
its 1930s condition, Franz
said.

Safety tips from troopers:
n Plan a safe way home before the fun
begins.
n Buckle up. A seatbelt is your vehicle’s
most important safety feature.
n Before taking a drink – designate a
sober driver.
n If you become impaired, call a taxi, a
sober friend or family member or use public
transportation to be sure to get home safely.
n Spot an impaired driver on the road?
Call local law enforcement, or dial *347.
n If you know people who are about to
drive impaired, take their keys and help
them make arrangements to get where
they are going safely.
n And remember—possession of an
open alcoholic beverage container in a
vehicle, stopped or in motion, by the driver or the passenger violates Florida law.
said. Gun owners should exercise extra caution to secure
their weapons outside of their
vehicles when not travelling.
Vehicle burglars like to use
the path of least resistance.
They will walk around a
neighborhood, a parking lot or
other areas looking for an
unlocked vehicle.
They’ll pull at door handles
or look for anything of value in
a vehicle. They’ll look in
unlocked cars and break into
locked cars. Simple locks on
glove compartments and center consoles won’t stop them.
“Thieves know where people
hide their valuables and will
be in and out of your vehicle in
less than 30 seconds with
everything they can carry,”
Getchell said. “If the gun
owner doesn’t take action,
remove the gun from the vehicle, the vehicle burglar will.”
Eventually, volunt eers
would like to construct a
nature trail that leads from
the adjacent Ravine Gardens
State Park through the
WWEEC property.
“We plan to do more with

project and continue to collaborate with the group on future
projects.
“Today, we’re saluting our
volunteers,” said Palatka
Mayor Vernon Myers. “We
have a very caring and giving
community that wants to create more educational opportunities for our children.”
“This is a great example of
people working together, cre-
ating value for the community,” said GP Palatka public

Myers and Hadaway said

Health officials are urging
local residents to stay safe and
healthy as the summer continues to bring high temperatures and people spend time
outdoors for functions such as
Fourth of July celebrations.
Amid summer activities and
holiday celebrations, people
should be aware of how dangerous heat strokes, heat exhaustion and other heat-related illnesses can be, officials from
Putnam Community Medical
Center said in a statement.
Although the body cools
itself by sweating, medical
officials said, other factors,
including extreme temperatures, high humidity, high
blood pressure and inadequate
hydration, could cause heatrelated illnesses.
“If you’re going to be outside, keep cool by drinking
plenty of fluids, aiming for
16-32 oz of liquid per hour,”
hospital officials said in a
statement. “If you aren’t
accustomed to being in a hot
environment regularly, start
slowly and pace yourself and
take regular breaks from the
heat indoors or in the shade.”
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention states
that heat-related illnesses
cause an average of nearly 620
deaths per year, which is more
deaths annually than tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and
hurricanes combined.
Health officials said that
children 4 years old and
younger and adults 65 years
old and older are at a greater
risk for heat-related illnesses.
People who work outdoors,
are on a low-sodium diets or
suffering from chronic heart,
lung or kidney conditions are
also at a higher risk.
If someone who has been
exposed to heat experiences
symptoms such as a headache,
nausea, dizziness, muscle
cramps or rapid heartbeat,
that person may be in danger
of having a heat-related illness, hospital workers said.
The person should be cooled
down by being moved to a cool,
shaded area, immersed in
water or wrapped in a cool,
wet sheet in an attempt to
bring the person’s body temperature below 102 degrees.

OUR MISSION: We believe that strong newspapers build strong
communities. Newspapers get things done. Our primary goal
is to publish distinguished and profitable community-oriented
newspapers. This mission will be accomplished through the
teamwork of professionals dedicated to truth, integrity, loyalty,
quality and hard work.
In 1845, a 27th star was added
to the U.S. flag after Florida
became a state on March 3. A
state flag was unfurled at the
inauguration of Wm. D. Moseley,
a Palatka resident, as Florida’s
governor. (Moseley is buried in

OUR VIEWS
“Our Views” is the editorial position of the Palatka Daily News. All other features
on the Opinions page are the views of the writers or cartoonists and do not
necessarily reflect the views of the Palatka Daily News.
The
Declaration
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen
united States of America.
(excerpts)
hen in the Course of human events,
it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the
earth, the separate and equal station to
which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s
God entitle them, a decent respect to the
opinions of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them
to the separation.
e hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness.--That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent
of the governed, --That whenever any Form
of Government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or
to abolish it, and to institute new
Government, laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in such
form, as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that Governments long
established should not be changed for light
and transient causes; and accordingly all
experience hath shewn, that mankind are
more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object
evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their
duty, to throw off such Government, and to
provide new Guards for their future security.-Such has been the patient sufferance of
these Colonies; and such is now the necessity
which constrains them to alter their former
Systems of Government. The history of the
present King of Great Britain is a history of
repeated injuries and usurpations, all having
in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this,
let Facts be submitted to a candid world ...
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to
our Brittish brethren. We have warned them
from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the
circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native
justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which,
would inevitably interrupt our connections
and correspondence. They too have been
deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the
necessity, which denounces our Separation,
and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
e, therefore, the Representatives of
the united States of America, in
General Congress, Assembled,
appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world
for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the
Name, and by Authority of the good People of
these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare,
That these United Colonies are, and of Right
ought to be Free and Independent States;
that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to
the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great
Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved;
and that as Free and Independent States,
they have full Power to levy War, conclude
Peace, contract Alliances, establish
Commerce, and to do all other Acts and
Things which Independent States may of
right do. And for the support of this
Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually
pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes
and our sacred Honor.

Today in History
Today’s Highlight in History:
Keep those emails and
letters coming, friends
F
rom time to time, we like
to do a little housekeeping here, so in response
to a number of recent
questions, we’ll talk about letters to the editor.
A box occasionally runs in
the space on this page we call
Public Forum. “Write To Us” lays out the basic
guidelines for letter-writers so that everybody
gets a fair and equal shot at the space. Since
we trim that box to fit whatever space is
remaining, not all the guidelines are listed
every time. But they still count.
The second sentence says, “letters should be
350 words or fewer.” That’s fairly absolute,
although if it runs 355 words, we won’t quibble. Much longer than that, and if you can’t
trim it, we have to. We don’t much like to do
that – although we spend considerable time
and effort to make sure we retain the gist of
the writer’s message, it still frustrates the
sender. It can also result in a very long letter
being set aside until someone has the time to
edit it.
Although type size can make a difference,
350 words amounts to about a page-and-a-half,
typewritten and double-spaced. That ought to
be enough to express most ideas clearly.
Occasionally, we receive a letter that’s
lengthy, well-written and expresses a general
point of view of wide interest. In that case, we
may use it as a guest column.
Generally, we print letters in the order
they’re received, subject to space available.
Another guideline says, “letters about issues
of concern to Putnam County residents will be
given the highest priority.” We’ll probably publish letters discussing Civil War history or the
civil war in Darfur, but what readers are really
interested in is what their fellow readers are
thinking when it comes to current events right
here in Putnam County.
Then there’s, “the Daily News editorial staff
will reject any letter it deems to be potentially
libelous or inappropriate.”
We don’t want to be sued, and we don’t want
you to be sued. There’s a fine line between
opinion and fact. We tend to let letter-writers
have their say, but if we see something that’s
obviously false, we may contact
the writer.
A couple other no-no’s in letters are a result of policy
changes and clarifications, and
probably ought to be in that
guidelines box:
n People often write thankyou letters for publication. While we appreciate the sentiment, we don’t print letters thanking private businesses. We will publish other
thank-yous, but we caution writers that if they
list numerous individuals in a thank-you message, they’re probably going to leave someone
out whose feelings will be hurt. There’s still no
substitute for a personal note, phone call or
face-to-face word of thanks.
n We will not publish letters endorsing or
criticizing candidates in the upcoming elections.
n We restrict letter-writers to one publication every 30 days or more. That gives more
writers access to the space as well as cooling
down ongoing arguments between two writers.
A few more points to help ensure publication:
n Remember Robert’s Rules of Order? “All
remarks should be addressed to the chairman.”
Similarly, all letters should be directed to the
editor, not to other letter-writers or others in
the community.
n Keep letters succinct and focused on one
subject.
In a related item, we’ve been asked why we
don’t allow open, anonymous comments on our
website, as some newspapers do. Our company
policy says that anyone who’s willing to
express an opinion publicly ought to be forthright enough to sign their name to it.
Also, if you read those anonymous posts,
you’ll generally see the first couple of posters
express their opinions, then the third will
sneer, “You’re an idiot!” and it degenerates
from there. (The sixth comment will be, “My
brother-in-law’s cousin made $6,072 last week
in just a few hours with her laptop. Check out
this website!”)

We must not be enemies
Howard Baker wrote his own
epitaph.
The Tennessee Republican
served in the Senate for 18
years – eight of them as his party’s leader – before retiring in
1984. When he died recently at
88, we looked up a speech
Baker gave in 1998, in which he
described his leadership style.
“Very often,” he said, he
found himself “engaged in firebreathing, passionate debate”
with fellow senators. But afterwards, “I would usually walk to
the desk of my most recent
antagonist, extend a hand of
friendship, and solicit his support for the next issue for the
following day.”
“People may think we’re
crazy when we do that,” Baker
continued. “Or perhaps they
think our debates are fraudulent to begin with ... But we
aren’t crazy and we aren’t
frauds.
“This ritual is as natural as
breathing here in the Senate,
and it is as important as anything that happens in
Washington or in the country
we serve, for that matter. It signifies that, as Lincoln said, ‘We
are not enemies, but friends.
We must not be enemies.’”
As we get older it’s tempting
– and dangerous – to wallow in
nostalgia for The Good Old
Days, to believe that everything
was better when we were more
hopeful and less stained by disappointment.
But we both covered
Congress during Baker’s ten-
advisors.”
Yet he defied ideological
orthodoxy by working with
Democrats to support stronger
voting rights and tougher environmental rules, the Equal
Rights Amendment and the

Sandra J. Baker
Sandra J. Baker, 58, a lifelong resident of Hastings,
transitioned into eternal glory
on Monday, June 30, 2014.
After graduating in 1973
from Hastings High School,
she received her Bachelor of
Science from BethuneCookman
College and
continued
her graduate
studies at the
University of
Florida in
Gainesville
and Cornell
University in
Ithaca, N.Y. Following a brief
career as an educator in the
Flagler County School
District, she was met with
health challenges that limited
her abilities to continue her
love for teaching.
As a Christian, Sandra was
passionate about sharing the
gospel with others and
remained a member of
Pompey’s Temple COGIC. Her
love for writing led her to
many years of encouraging
family and friends to pursue
their educational and career
aspirations.

Laboratory admits violating nuke waste permit
Director Terry Wallace,
according to an internal
memo.
Teams of scientists and
engineers are still trying to
determine exactly what
caused a barrel from Los
Alamos to burst, and whether
the switch in cat litter helped
fuel what is suspected to have
been some kind of reaction in
the highly acidic waste that
also contained lead.
Despite hundreds of experiments to date, investigators
have been unable to create
any reaction that would have
caused the container to leak
like it did on Feb. 14, sending
radioactive particles into the
air above the half-mile deep
repository and contaminating
22 workers with low levels of
radiation.
By Jeri Clausing
Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —
Los Alamos National
Laboratory says it made mistakes in packing waste that
has been linked to a radiation
leak at the government’s
underground nuclear waste
dump, but it remains unclear
if the violations or its use of
organic cat litter to absorb
moisture played a role in the
accident.
In a letter released by state
regulators Thursday, lab officials told the New Mexico
Environment Department
that their internal probe of the
handling of the toxic waste
from decades of nuclear bomb
building has uncovered several violations of its Hazardous
Waste Facility Permit.
The lab says it failed to follow proper procedures in making the switch from inorganic
to organic litter and in its lack
of follow up on waste that
tests showed to be highly acidic.
The shortcomings were
described as “unacceptable” by

The accident has also indefinitely shuttered the mine,
which is the nation’s only permanent repository for plutonium-contaminated gloves, tools
and clothing from the federal
government’s nuclear facilities.
According to the memo
obtained by The Associated
Press, Wallace told employees at a meeting Monday
that the probe is focused on
16 barrels of highly acidic,
nitrate-salt-bearing waste,
including the drum that
leaked at the Waste Isolation
Pilot Plant.
Ten of the other barrels
are also underground at the
mine in Carlsbad, New
Mexico, while five are in temporary storage and under
special monitoring at a pri-
Closed
Today but....
vate waste facility in
Andrews, Texas.
Wallace is quoted in the
memo as saying that a technical review “identified certain
conditions that might potentially cause an exothermic
reaction inside a drum. Among
them are neutralized liquids,
a low pH and the presence of
metals.”
“The low pH findings
should have prompted a
pause in work to ensure
appropriate technical and
regulatory reviews of next
steps,” Wallace said.
Wallace indicated that the
lab’s focus is now on correcting the processes to prevent
any recurrence. “We need to
get this right and set best
practices for the entire
Complex.”

For Friday, July 4, 2014
It’s time to get up and get moving. The time for pondering and
procrastinating has ended. Go out
and prove to the world that you
are capable, intelligent and ready
for success. Your biggest problem
is your fear of failure.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
You will be feeling out of sorts.
Spend some quiet time catching
up on reading or research. Most
of all, distance yourself from an
emotional situation so that you
can see things differently.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
You have a lot to be grateful for. A lucrative job offer that
interests you will pop up. Look
for an opportunity and you will
find one.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Work hard, but don’t ignore
your health. Getting stressed or
run-down will damage your ability to be productive, erasing your
chances of progress.

ing, and someone is trying to get
your attention. You may have to
make an adjustment if you want
to get all of your projects finished
on time.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
Aim to please by being selfsufficient. Stay in control of your
affairs rather than depending on
others to handle your finances or
career objectives for you.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
An idea you have been rebelling against could be more lucrative than you thought. This may
be your lucky day, so make the
most of it. Stop criticizing.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Don’t shirk your responsibilities. You will have a lot to answer
for if you haven’t been pulling
your weight at home or in the
workplace. Cut your losses by
taking care of business.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
With a few minor adjustments,
you can make great progress. If
you let your intuition and creativity lead the way, you won’t be
sorry. Romance is highlighted.
Mom has to know every detail

PISCES
(Feb. 20-March 20)
Think about your future. It’s
time to lay the groundwork to
obtain a comfortable standard of
living. Look into savings plans
that will help you reach your
goals.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
Not everyone will be open to
constructive criticism. Be diplomatic, and consider the feelings
of others before you dole out
advice. Work on your own issues,
not those of the people around
you.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
You can’t get ahead by looking
back. Stick to your game plan,
ignore your critics and finish what
you start. Keep moving forward;
you’re heading toward a brighter
future.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
There will be favorable developments in your personal life. If
you are attached, you will find
a deeper connection with your
partner. If you are single, be prepared for an exciting new chapter.
Dear Harriette: My mother is getting up in age. She is
doing well, but I worry about her
because she lives on her own and
I live hundreds of miles away. We
talk regularly, but if I miss a day
or two, she is on the horn calling
and trying to figure out what I
am up to. On the one hand, I am
grateful that she is aware enough
to be “in my business.” Several
of my friends who still have their
moms are dealing with dementia
and other illnesses. But I also
feel like I need to manage our
interaction. I love my mother, but
I do not want to give her blow-byblow details of every aspect of my
life. How can I keep anything to
myself without hurting her feelings? — In a Corner, Washington,
D.C.
Dear In A Corner: It is true
that you are blessed that your
mom remains of sound mind as
she ages. Since she appreciates
talking to you regularly, do your
best to check in every few days.
Ask her questions about her day.
Show interest in her schedule.
This will get her to talk about
herself. Be sure to listen closely.
You can also give her a highlight
of your life each time you talk.
Tell her that you want to share
highlights so that she knows what
to expect. Choose upbeat stories
that she can share freely with her
friends, stories that will keep her
excited, motivated and connected
to you — without being every
detail of your life.
Dear Harriette: I visited my
college town last week for a work
commitment, and I thought I was
going to have time to catch up
with friends. I called in advance
to say I would be in town and
hoped that I would be able see
them, but as it turned out, there
wasn’t even time to talk to them. I
was in back-to-back meetings for
my job, and then it was time to get
back on the train and come home.
I feel awful that I led my friends to
believe that we would get together
and I didn’t even have a chance
to contact them to say I was
sorry. Now I’m so embarrassed
that I’m not sure what to do. It has
already been a week since I was
there. Is it too late to apologize?
— Too Busy for My Own Good,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Too Busy For My Own
Good: It is never too late to say
you are sorry for hurting your
friends’ feelings. While it is likely
that they were looking forward to
reconnecting with you, it is also
possible that at least some of them
understand what a work schedule can do to a social schedule.
Contact your friends right away
and say how sorry you are that
you were unable to get together.
Express your remorse for not having more time. Explain that your
schedule was jam-packed with
meetings, and even though you
wanted to be with them, you simply could not.
If you really do want to make
time to spend with these friends,
talk to them about a planned
get-together either in their town,
yours or somewhere in between.
The most important thing is to
follow up to say you are sorry this
event didn’t happen.
BRIDGE
Frank A. Clark, a lawyer and
politician who died in 1936, said,
“If you can find a path with
no obstacles, it probably doesn’t
lead anywhere.”
Sometimes the opening lead
shows the path to the defeat of
the contract ... if one of the
defenders finds the right subsequent play.
First, though, look only at the
West hand. What should he lead
against three no-trump?
Some players open two notrump with 19 high-card points,
especially when they have a good
five-card suit. It can be reasonable, but not with that North
hand. Almost half of the points
are in quacks (queens and jacks),
which is not good, and there is
one unstopped suit. One diamond
is correct.
Length rules against no-trump,
so West should lead a heart. And
because he has no honor in the
suit, he should choose the nine
— top of nothing when the top
two cards are touching. (When
you have something like 9-7-6-
4-3, lead the seven, the secondhighest.)
South has seven top tricks:
three hearts and four clubs. He
will take the first trick with dummy’s queen and play on diamonds. What should East do?
The opening lead marks South
with the heart ace and king. So
he cannot also have the spade
ace, because then he would have
been too strong to respond one
no-trump. East should grab the
trick and shift to his spade four,
the low card guaranteeing at least
one honor in the suit. West will
win with his ace and return the
spade eight, the higher card from
a remaining doubleton. East will
take three more spade tricks for
down one.

Why

goals?
Deadline
passes
for PHS
T
hursday was the deadline to
apply for the position of athletic director at Palatka High
School and while school officials certainly want to take care in
selecting a successor to Matt McCool,
they can’t take too much time.
There are head coach openings in
baseball, softball and swimming and
PHS principal Mary Beth Hedstrom
wants the new athletic director
involved in the selection. The greatest urgency would appear to be
swimming, a fall sport.
“We can’t do anything until the
close of business Thursday,” she said
Monday.
Athletic director at his alma mater
the last five years, McCool stepped
down this week to take the same
position at Nease High School in St.
Johns County. He was the Panthers’
baseball coach from 2006-12 and is
the son of retired Palatka coach and
athletic director Jim McCool.
The Putnam County Baseball
Player of the Year as a junior in
1988, Matt McCool’s years on the
PHS staff will be best remembered
by the string of baseball district
championships that came with his
first four years as head coach, highlighted by a riveting run to the Final
Four in 2008. District, regional and
state titles of the Panthers, Braves
and Maroons over multiple generations are duly noted on a billboard
McCool designed for the right-field
fence at the Azalea Bowl.
n Thoughts on the World Cup:
– Absolutely an inspired effort by
the U.S. of A. on Tuesday, particularly by goalie Tim Howard, but does a
1-1-2 record – that’s one win, one tie
and two losses, as the record is
expressed in soccer – justify a national celebration? Never have so many
positive vibes been emitted over winning one of four.
Jurgen Klinsmann wins one of
four? Throw him a party. Will
Muschamp wins one of four? Throw
him out. (OK, maybe that’s apples
and orange slices.)
– With all due respect to friend
and colleague Mark Blumenthal,
who encouraged us in his June 24
column to “embrace the tie” after the
Americans’ 2-2 draw with Portugal, I
don’t like ties. No sport values ties
like soccer, which, alas, puts me at
odds with futbol devotees. The last
football tie I covered was Florida’s
31-31 loss at Florida State in 1994, a
game in which the Gators coughed
up a 31-3 lead. FSU fans are permitted to call it a 31-31 victory, but only
if they weren’t part of the stampede
out of Doak at the end of the third
quarter.
– This fall marks 40 years since
the last Putnam County football tie,
20-20 between Interlachen and
Palatka Central. Crescent City’s last
tie was 22-22 with Mount Dora in
1973. Palatka South’s last tie was
14-14 with Lake City Columbia in
1971.
– On an unrelated note, I wore a
tie as recently as March.
– OK, back to the World Cup:
Don’t be surprised if few outside the
U.S. were rooting for our guys.
People love an underdog and while
we may rate as an underdog in soccer, this is considered the land of
plenty and rooting for the U.S. is like
cheering for Bolles or Plantation
American Heritage.
– A chief criticism of soccer is the
endless, seemingly pointless passing
in seemingly endless, often pointless
games. Watch yourself if you’re a
baseball fan leveling that criticism
and haven’t wearied of a five-minute
series of pickoff throws after which
the runner steals anyway or worse
yet, advances after the batter walks.
n More girls played soccer than
any other sport in the state, according to the 2013-14 sports participation survey recently released by the
Florida High School Athletic
Association.

Magic mix of skill, fitness

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Make it Right
Earnhardt still embarrassed over Talladega finish
By Jenna Fryer
Associated Press
I
DAYTONA BEACH
t had been 31 years since a driver won both
Daytona races in the same season when
Jimmie Johnson pulled off the Sprint Cup
Series sweep. A year later, his teammate wants
to complete the feat.
But for Dale Earnhardt Jr. to win the Coke Zero
400, he can’t race the way he did at Talladega
Superspeedway in May.
The Daytona 500 winner went to Talladega
thinking he’d win another restrictor plate race, but
instead finished 26th in a performance that still
haunted him Thursday when he showed up at
Daytona International Speedway.
“It’s embarrassing man, I hate to talk about it,”
Earnhardt said before the first of two practice sessions for Saturday night’s race.
“The way we ran and what I chose to do at the
end of the race was just uncharacteristic really of
anybody that is in the field trying to compete. I just
got really frustrated with the way things were
working out for us and lost sight of the overall big
picture and what you’re out there trying to do and
who all is out there depending on you to do what
you need to do. I learned some lessons.”
He’ll attempt to apply the lessons in the 400miler Saturday night, where he’ll most likely race
hard and try to lead much the same way he did
when he won the season-opening Daytona 500. The
February race had a frantic pace because of a rain
stoppage that lasted 6 hours, 22 minutes. When the
racing resumed, Earnhardt was determined to win
his second Daytona 500.
Earnhardt led six times for a race-high 54 laps
— all after the rain delay — and ended a 55-race
losing streak that dated to 2012 with the win.
But at Talladega, he wasn’t at all the same racer.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Since Day 1,
when Brazil put three past Croatia,
the World Cup has enjoyed a goal deluge as sustained as an Amazon forest
downpour.
A combination of factors gelled to
put Brazil on a trajectory to smash the
record for most goals at any of the 20
World Cups.
The target to beat is 171, from
France in 1998. That could be surpassed in the semifinals or July 13
final in Brazil. Already, the 154 goals
here — with eight games still to play
— are more than in South Africa in
2010 or Germany in 2006.
Naturally, having 32 teams — the
format since 1998 — produces more
goals than earlier World Cups with 24,
16 or as few as 13 teams.
But the ratio of 2.75 goals per game
in Brazil is impressive, too. Organizer
FIFA says that is the best average
through this stage of the competition
since 1986.
Here are reasons why goal-scorers
have felt so at home:
n FITNESS: Thank not just players but their fitness trainers, too.
Teams prepared superbly for the heat,
humidity and arduous travel between
far-flung venues. Players are coping
remarkably from the exertions and
accumulated fatigue of a match every
five or six days.
Better fitness and endurance is
allowing teams to attack at higher
speeds for sustained periods and to
threaten for longer. Players wilted and
cramped at some hotter venues and in
games taken into extra time, but perhaps not as dramatically as they might
have done 10 or 20 years ago.
“We thought that with the weather
conditions here in Brazil … teams
were going to be very economical with
the expenditure of efforts,” said former
Nigeria international Sunday Oliseh,
now on a FIFA panel dissecting the
play, tactical innovations and other
on-field trends of this World Cup.
“It’s been end-to-end stuff.”
n HOME ADVANTAGE: Teams
from the Americas looked as comfy as
Brazilian sunbathers on Copacabana
beach, and swept up half of the last 16
places.
“The South American teams have
got a sort of aggressive bite here which
I don’t see when they travel away from
their base,” said former Liverpool
manager Gerard Houllier, also part of
the FIFA study group.

The first part of the camp will be a
fielding camp from 8 a.m.-noon. After
an hour lunch that will be provided by
the camp, a hitting camp will be held
from 1-4 p.m. The camp costs $25 for
one of the two sessions and $40 for
the hitting and fielding camp. Children
must be between the ages of 7-15
years old. Also helping out the camp
are three current standout players
from Interlachen High School – Brett
Sellers, Jase Foshee and Aaron
Mitchell – according to camp director
Patrick White.
Also, an adult home run hitting contest using softballs will be held at
Melrose’s baseball field at noon on
July 12. It will cost $15 to enter and
two-thirds of the proceeds will go
toward the Melrose Youth Sports
Association. The winner will get the
remainder of the pot.

Scherzer, Tigers stop Tommy Tutone-inspired Rays
Associated Press
DETROIT — Max Scherzer
allowed two hits in eight outstanding innings, and the Detroit
Tigers backed their star righthander with three early homers
in an 8-1 victory over the Tampa
Bay Rays on Thursday night.
Ian Kinsler, Victor Martinez
and Torii Hunter all went deep
as part of a five-run first inning

them to Brazil. Arjen Robben and
Robin van Persie scored three in
total for the Netherlands in 2010.
In Brazil, they’ve netted that many
each before their quarterfinal
chance to score more against Costa
Rica.
Five goals made Germany’s
Thomas Mueller top scorer in
2010, but won’t be enough in
Brazil. James Rodriguez already

Anthony-to-the-Lakers might
be a long shot, but it would seem
his wife, La La, has a name made

n LOWRY STAYING: The top
free-agent point guard isn’t free
anymore. Kyle Lowry agreed to a
four-year, $48 million deal late
Wednesday night, meaning he
will be staying in Toronto and
continuing to lead a young
Raptors team that was a break or
two away from getting to the sec-
for the AL Central-leading
Tigers, who have won 12 of 14.
Tampa Bay’s five-game winning
streak is over.
Detroit leads second-place
Kansas City by five games.
Scherzer (10-3) allowed a firstinning sacrifice fly by Evan
Longoria, but that was the first of
10 straight hitters retired by the
reigning American League Cy
Young Award winner. After
allowing a single in the fourth,
Scherzer retired another 13 in a
row before he was pulled with a
pitch count of 106.
The first seven spots of Tampa
Bay’s batting order, listed by
position, went CF-SS-LF-3B-1BDH-RF – or 8-6-7-5-3-0-9. Rays
manager Joe Maddon called it a
“Tommy Tutone lineup” before
the game, in reference to that
band’s early-80s hit “867-5309/
Jenny.”
Maddon may have scored
points with pop music fans of a
certain age, but he couldn’t have
enjoyed watching his hitters scuffle against Scherzer. James
Loney’s single in the fourth was
the only baserunner the Rays
managed after the first inning.
has five for Colombia. Scoreless
in South Africa, Lionel Messi has
four for Argentina. So do Mueller
and Brazil’s Neymar.
“We think that one of the main
reasons we have so many goals is
because we have a generation of
outstanding strikers,” Houllier
said.
n TACTICS: Coaches have
been rewarded for fielding
attacking formations. Against
Iran, Argentina started an awesome forward trio of Messi,
Gonzalo Higuain and Sergio
Aguero — almost too much fire-
power.
Some teams slimmed down to
three players in defense, allowing
full backs to roam forward,
swamp the midfield and enable
midfielders to then push into the
danger zones too. Teams are
turning defense into attack with
lightning speed, as Chile did in
humbling dethroned champion
Spain 2-0.
“Some of the games have been
like hockey or basketball, just
going from one goal to another,”
Houllier said. “It’s like a stream
of players going forward.”
Players possibly also felt an
extra need for flair because Brazil
is the land of football as art.
“Everybody has come out blazing,” Oliseh said.
n THE BALL: Players roundly criticized the 2010 ball for taking crazy dips and dives and even
FIFA’s study group noted it
“picked up incredible speed.” But
the 2014 ball has worked fine, as
Rodriguez proved with the best
goal so far, chesting it down and
volleying in. Teams got the ball
months in advance to practice
with it.
ond round of the playoffs this
past season.
n WHO’S LEFT? Besides the
Miami trio of James, Bosh and
Wade, there are still tons of quality players out there. Pau Gasol
is getting interest from a number
of teams, including Oklahoma
City. Lance Stephenson is negotiating with Indiana, which probably still remains the frontrunner
to retain the guard. Greg Monroe
and Chandler Parsons are
expected to get nice pay raises
next season, regardless of where
they are, and Luol Deng seems
like he’d fit with a number of
teams who actually have some
money to spend.
n ‘BIG 3’ UPDATE: The first
two days of free agency came and
went without really a peep from
the Heat or any of their players
from the last four runs to the
NBA Finals. The ‘Big 3’ are all
tweeting, sure — but it’s almost
entirely limited to the World Cup
or their kids. No hints on basketball moves, yet. And Pat Riley
has remained quiet, like always.
Clearly, teams aren’t waiting
around for the Heat to make
moves, but there’s still a sense
that when the Miami dominoes
start moving, things leaguewide
will start happening in a hurry.
As for James, he posted a vacation photo of himself smiling and
standing among family Thursday
afternoon at an undisclosed location. If he’s anxious, it’s not
showing.
n NAMES TO WATCH: Jason
Kidd left Brooklyn in infamous
fashion but many eyes are on
player movement, and with good
reason. It might seem odd in
some circles that names like Paul
Pierce, Josh McRoberts, Spencer
Hawes, Shawn Marion, Jordan
Hill and NBA Finals hero Boris
Diaw aren’t getting more attention. Look for that to change,
quickly.
Earnhardt
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7A
Earnhardt led 26 laps early and gambled
he’d have no trouble making it back through
the traffic when he was shuffled to the rear.
When it became clear he had his work cut out
for him, Earnhardt opted to take it easy and
nurse his Chevrolet home for a clean finish.
Fans were livid.
“I think I got real selfish at Talladega and
what the result and how the result affected
anyone I never took into account,” he said. “I
really just was out there thinking more about
me and what I thought and what I wanted to
do and how frustrated I was.
“I forgot that there’s a team behind me
depending on me and a lot of fans there to see
us race and show up to spend their hard
earned money. Definitely was a difficult
thing to go through.”
Earnhardt has eight wins at plate tracks
— four behind Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon for the active-driver lead —
and wants another win. Johnson, who goes
into Saturday night with three wins in the
last six races, believes his teammate has a
shot at the sweep. Before Johnson did it last
year, the last driver to sweep Daytona was
Bobby Allison in 1982.
“If I don’t have a chance to win the race, I
wouldn’t mind if he did,” Johnson said. “He’s
going to be fast. He’s going to be strong and
have a very good opportunity to win. That

stat went 30 years for a reason. It’s not easy
because in plate racing, anything can happen. He’s the one who gave me that phrase
about ‘If I make it to the white, and you’re in
the picture, you have a shot at winning.’ If he
can make it to the white he will definitely be
a threat.”
Earnhardt is aware of the ability to sweep,
and recognizes how difficult it would be to
complete.
“I would love to sweep the races at Daytona
because that is a cool thing, but I just love
winning here,” he said. “To go to Victory Lane
here, regardless of what we did in February,
would mean a lot to me. I expect that we will
try to do the best thing that we can to help us
strategy-wise so that we are toward the
front.”

Bouchard, Kvitova in women’s final
LONDON – Eugenie Bouchard could have lost her
focus after the fourth game of her Wimbledon semifinal Thursday, when play was delayed for five minutes
during Simona Halep’s medical timeout for a left
ankle injury.
Bouchard also could have gotten sidetracked when
action was halted again, smack-dab in the middle of a
tiebreaker, because an ill spectator was being attended to in the Centre Court stands.
And everything really could have unraveled for
Bouchard later, as she let match point after match
point slip away. Able to steel herself time and again,
the singular-of-purpose Bouchard became Canada’s
first Grand Slam finalist by beating French Open runner-up Halep 7-6 (5), 6-2 at the All England Club.
In only her sixth major tournament, the 13th-seeded Bouchard will play for the championship Saturday
against 2011 Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova. The
sixth-seeded Kvitova defeated No. 23 Lucie Safarova
7-6 (6), 6-1 in the first all-Czech women’s Slam semifinal.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Alabama towns honor Winston
HUEYTOWN, Ala. – Florida State quarterback
Jameis Winston will be honored at an event at the
field where he starred in high school.
Hueytown Chamber of Commerce director Rebecca
Williams said Thursday that the reigning Heisman
Trophy winner is expected to attend Saturday night’s
ceremony. It will be held at Hueytown High School’s
former field, Gilmore-Vines Stadium.
Williams says members of Winston’s family are
also expected to attend. She says the state of Alabama
and the towns of Bessemer and Hueytown will present proclamations honoring Winston, who led the
Seminoles to a national championship and became
the youngest Heisman winner.
Williams says Winston’s Youth Football League
plans to present him with a framed jersey.
Winston was born in Bessemer and starred in baseball and football for Hueytown High.
NFL
Dolphins’ Jordan suspended
DAVIE – Dion Jordan of the Miami Dolphins has
been suspended for the first four games of the season
after testing positive for a stimulant prohibited under
the NFL’s policy on use of performance-enhancing
substances.
The Dolphins announced the suspension Thursday.
In a statement released by the team, Jordan took “full
responsibility” for the positive test.
“I recently learned from the NFL that I tested positive for stimulants that are banned under the NFL
policy,” Jordan’s statement read. “I worked carefully
with my advisors and the union to investigate the test
results, and I take full responsibility for the test
results.”
Jordan’s statement also included an apology for the
“impact of this situation” on his teammates, coaches,
Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, his fans and family.
PISTORIUS TRIAL
Prosecutor: He acted methodically
PRETORIA, South Africa – Oscar Pistorius armed
himself and took other methodical steps before he
killed his girlfriend, the chief prosecutor said
Thursday, trying to cast doubt on the athlete’s account
that he reacted instinctively to a perceived intruder.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel made the argument while
cross-examining sports physician Wayne Derman,
who testified that the Paralympian acted on a “fight
or flight” impulse in which he chose to confront what
he thought was an attacker because his disability prevented him from fleeing. Derman has treated
Pistorius for years.
Pistorius, 27, says he killed Steenkamp by mistake,
thinking there was a dangerous intruder in his home.
He shot her through a closed toilet door while on his
stumps. The prosecution says he intentionally killed
the 29-year-old model after the couple had a
Valentine’s Day argument last year.
NBA
Cavaliers, James’ agent meet
CLEVELAND – Four years after their messy
breakup, the Cavaliers and LeBron James are at
least talking about a reunion.
Cavs officials met with James’ agent, Rich Paul,
this week about the free agent superstar’s possible
return. The sides visited as James continued his
family vacation, a person with knowledge of the
details told The Associated Press on Thursday
night on condition of anonymity because of the
sensitive nature of the talks. It was not immediately clear if owner Dan Gilbert was at the meeting.

PALATKA, FL - Beck Chrysler, Dodge Jeep and
Ram have partnered in an initiative to expand their
customer base. The bulk of this initiative involves
financing components that are specifically targeted
to assist those who have had challenges in life. As
a result of market conditions such as the mortgage
crisis and economic downturn, this segment has
ballooned in recent years. It is the understanding that
bad things happen to good people and recognizing
the void in the marketplace of programs that provide
adequate support that has led to this partnership.
Historically, finance companies have offered rates
as high as 29% to offset what they consider risk
factors. In the event they gauged risk to be in excess
of what the state of Florida would allow rates to yield
they have charged loan discounts that often added
significant cost to dealers which resulted in higher

prices. That meant huge rates and larger prices-- not
fair! Especially for those of us who could use some
help during challenging times. Chrysler Capital is
finally trying to do something about it.
Here’s how it is designed. Subvention (provision
for financial support) by the manufacturer toward the
purchase of a new vehicle to the finance company
offsets risk factors. With many manufacturers there
are optional offers that allow for either a rebate or
a subvented APR. Historically customers without
perfect credit history are not eligible for subvented
rates. With this new program even those who have
had significant challenges can qualify for subvented
rates. Chrysler pays depending upon model to offset
risk and allow APR’s as low as 0%. What this means
is many customers can now own more car for less
money.
Ex.: Customer “A” buys a new vehicle for $25,000 with zero money down plus tax, tag, title & dealer fee.
That customer qualifies for a 22% APR with a finance company and drives off for around $653 a month.
