The crash occurred at about 10:05 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of U.S. 17 and Reed Bell Drive.

The first session starts Saturday. “I’m trying to get younger people involved in outdoor activities,” Putnam Blueways and Trails board member Joe Carter said. “Hopefully, at some point in time, those chil- dren will be able to make a business of taking people and showing them these resources we have here.” “Our county has a lot of opportunities to see nature from water,” said Gaye Esperson, secre- tary for Putnam Blueways and Trails. “(Water) is our natural resource, and it’s beautiful.” The four-week camp takes place on Lake Broward on Saturdays in June and July. Kayaks, paddles and life vests are provided. Last year, Carter said, the camp was only held in one session and was more than four weeks long. Organizers found that some inter- ested children were not able to attend last year’s camp because they had other activities planned. With two shorter sessions, Carter hopes more children could attend. Carter and Sam Carr will teach kayak safety and proper paddling in two separate classes, based on age. “It builds with each class over the four weeks, but you start at the beginning,” Esperson said. “The last day of the camp, the kids go on a graduation paddle.” Esperson said eight children attended the camp last year, but organizers have room for 10 children in each session. While last year’s campers have not participated in the Putnam Blueways and Trails paddles, Esperson said a few are returning for a refresher course this summer.

At about 10:50 p.m. Friday, Miguel Loza Rebollar, 47, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon with- out intent to kill and resisting an officer with- out violence, according to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Darren Riley responded to Rebollar’s Horse Farm Road residence after receiving reports shots were fired outside the house, the sheriff’s office reported. After arriving on scene, Riley and additional deputies heard two more shots fired from the back of Rebollar’s home, Capt. Dick Schauland said. “Although the officers were originally concerned that Rebollar was firing at them, they were able to determine that he was just randomly fir- ing the weapon,” Schauland said. “Rebollar at first refused to obey the deputies’ orders to show his hands and submit to arrest, but he was ultimately taken into custody without further incident.” During Riley’s investiga- tion, Schauland said, he learned Rebollar and a neigh- bor were involved in a year- long conflict. The dispute began with burning carpet. When the neighbor asked Rebollar to stop burning old carpet on his property, a feud between the two was initiated, according to Sheriff’s Office charges 47-year-old man Rebollar See DISPUTE, Page 12A BY ASIA AIKINS Palatka Daily News Palatka city commissioners will revisit what Commissioner Rufus Borom referred to as the “Terrill Hill ordinance,” requiring Palatka commission candidates live in the city for at least a year before they qualify to run for office. “I don’t know if that’s the name of it,” Mayor Terrill Hill said. “I think I would be the reason behind this, probably.” In Novem- ber, the Palatka City Commission passed the ordinance requiring a year of resi- dency before candidates could qualify to run for a city office. The ordinance passed with a 3-2 vote, with former Mayor Vernon Myers and former commissioners Phil Leary and Allegra Kitchens supporting it. The vote took place after the incoming commissioners won the November election, and Hill told the commission at the time he was “extremely concerned about the timing of the ordinance.” Hill lived in Putnam County, but moved to Palatka when he decided to run for the mayor’s seat. Kitchens said Thursday her vote in support of the ordi- nance was not because of Hill. “The previous ordinance said you had to be a resident of the city for six months before you could run for city commission,” she said. “And at some point, when some of the election laws changed, I think it was Susan McCool, changed our ordinance.” According to state statute, candidates must live inside the city limits when they are sworn into office and through- out the duration of their term.

Putnam Blueways and Trails Citizens Support Organization is bringing back its Kids Kayak Camp in two ses-sions this summer.

The first session starts Saturday.

“I’m trying to get younger people involved in outdoor activities,” Putnam Blueways and Trails board member Joe Carter said. “Hopefully, at some point in time, those chil-dren will be able to make a business of taking people and showing them these resources we have here.”

“Our county has a lot of opportunities to see nature from water,” said Gaye Esperson, secre-tary for Putnam Blueways and Trails. “(Water) is our natural resource, and it’s beautiful.”

Last year, Carter said, the camp was only held in one session and was more than four weeks long. Organizers found that some inter-ested children were not able to attend last year’s camp because they had other activities planned.

With two shorter sessions, Carter hopes more children could attend.

Felony Arrests

By Gary FineoutAssociated Press

T A L L A H A S S E E — Living in a (semi)-tropical paradise has a price — and apparently, not even going nine years without a major hurr i cane s t r ike wi l l change that.

While Florida’s property insurance market stabi-lized somewhat since eight storms battered the state in 2004 and 2005, as storms such as Hurricane Wilma caused billions in damages, the state still has some of the nation’s highest home-owners insurance rates. A recent national report showed Florida’s average homeowner premium of more than $2,000 a year is twice the national average.

“There are people on fixed incomes that no lon-ger can afford homeowners insurance,” Palm Beach County resident Daniel McMahon wrote to Gov. Rick Scott last month. “Those people face losing everything i f a severe storm should occur.”

But state officials say

good news is on the hori-zon. The state-created C i t i z e n s P r o p e r t y Insurance Corp., Florida’s largest property insurer, is in the best financial condi-tion in its history, CEO Barry Gilway says. The s ta te - c reated F lor ida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund — nicknamed the “Cat Fund” — is also strong heading into the Atlantic storm season that starts June 1. It serves as a back-stop for private insurers.

Consumers are benefit-ing from this because the state’s “hurricane tax” — surcharges related to those previous storms — is disap-pearing from their insur-ance bills. The charge is added to all insurance bills, including auto insurance, if Citizens or the catastrophe fund lack sufficient money to pay off storm claims.

A n d I n s u r a n c e C o m m i s s i o n e r K e v i n McCarty insists lower rates are coming because one of the main expenses for insurers — reinsurance — h a s b e e n d r o p p i n g .

Reinsurance is the millions an insurer spends with an out-of-state or foreign com-pany to provide the compa-ny financial backing in case of major claims.

McCarty’s office notes the report assembled by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners is based on 2012 data.

“I fully expect insurers to submit lower rate requests and pass along savings to consumers as market con-ditions strengthen and reinsurance rates go down,” McCarty said in a state-ment.

But that probably won’t be the case for Citizens, which was designed to be the insurer of last resort for p roper ty owners who couldn’t get private poli-cies. It grew dramatically following the storms of the last decade as other insur-ers left the state.

“We were out of control,” Gilway said.

Since becoming gover-nor, Scott pushed to have Citizens reverse that trend. Homeowners have been

steered out of the company into private insurance com-panies . The resu l t i s Citizens has gone from nearly 1.5 million policy-holders to slightly under 600,000 policies.

Many remaining custom-ers live near the coast or in South Florida. But Gilway notes that as Citizens shrinks it is left with the policies that private insur-ers are less likely to want. And these policy holders will continue to see increas-es in the future including the next round in January.

“If you buy a coastal home, you should expect to pay an appropriate rate for exposure to that home,” Gilway said. “The hurri-cane risk, the wind risk and the flood risk clearly is sig-nificantly higher along the coast.”

The reasons for Florida’s high rates have triggered endless argument among state lawmakers and oth-ers in the last two decades. But the biggest expense remains the cost of reinsur-ance.

Despite storm-free seasons, Florida insurance still pricey

Martin O’Malley, former governor of Maryland, has announced his

candidacy for president as a Democrat. He joins Bernie Sanders, of Vermont, which will force the Democrats to hold a primary and start digging into their mon-ey-filled war chest.

Sanders has two chances – slim and none. He probably just wants his obituary to read he was a candidate, but some of the people way up there in Vermont (that’s a state, by the way) will likely vote for him anyway as a favorite son.

O’Malley gives the appearance he is serious about his candidacy. He got a few hand-clappers together in advance and made “the speech.” I’m running for you.

That’s different from Hillary’s philosophy – “I’m Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton’s wife. You remember him. He was president, and now I want to be president and move back into the White House. And, oh yes, I will be the first female president!”

Depending on how the Benghazi thing works out, she may even mention she served as Secretary of State.

Standard political speeches aside, O’Malley did touch on issues that are on the minds of many voters regardless of their particular politi-cal persuasion. He pointed out the American economy has stagnated and household income has actually shrunk during the last eight years – words right out of the GOP playbook.

The significance of the entry of Sanders and O’Malley is that a crack in the solid Democrat’s political wall has opened. It questions Hillary’s ability to campaign. It also sends the message it now may be permissible for other Democrats to jump into the race and make a challenge to the Hill-Billy consortium.

O’Malley touched on the problem of this nation’s debt. He said, “America’s dream is hanging by a thread.” Again, that was supposed to be the GOPs mantra. Whose side is he on?

Most thinking Americans have come to realize our country has lost a lot of prestige during the past eight years. We are no longer viewed as the nation of the “greatest generation” that whipped

Adolph Hitler during World War II and then saved Europe from being overcome by creep-ing Communism.

We’ve gotten ourselves into a few fights we didn’t need to be in since then, but our motives were honorable. Holy

wars created by fanatics can never actually be won.

I am always leery of any political candidate who has never held a private job for any length of time. They just don’t seem to get the big pic-ture that democracy is a team effort and every-body needs to contribute something to it, not just take from it.

I’ve studied enough history to understand that all governments don’t fall by wars. Insurgents from other countries have destroyed great governments that had been functioning well. The well-documented Roman Empire being an excellent example.

In 1965, Sen. Ted Kennedy pushed through a bill that allowed a stream of immigrants from South and Central America, Africa and Asia to invade the United States. As they did in Europe, they literally changed America. They were most-ly poor and uneducated and held little regard for our laws and language. But, after obtaining the right to vote, they reinforced the ranks of the “take from Peter and give it to Paul” party and caused a dramatic liberal shift in the Democratic Party. It prompted the media to declare the movement to be labeled, “the Kennedy family’s greatest gift to the Democratic Party.”

I haven’t personally checked the figures but one syndicated columnist states this country has taken in one-fourth of the entire population of Mexico – either legally or illegally.

Has immigration affected the makeup and direction of our government?

Certainly. In 1980, Ronald Reagan won the biggest election landslide in American history over Democratic incumbent Jimmy Carter. Thirty-two years later, in 2012, if not for the added Hispanic voters, Mitt Romney would have won even a bigger landslide. It’s on the record.

Last call for bottle clubs in Volusia

It’s the last call for local bottle clubs, and the only question is why closing time didn’t come a lot earlier.

Volusia County has three such establishments that are considered “social meeting places” after regular bars close at 2 a.m. Customers are served drinks from their own liquor bottles; the club merely provides the setups, such as juices, sodas and ice.

Too often, though, violence is part of the mix.

Following a deadly shooting in the early morning hours of May 10 that police say stemmed from an argument that began at Papi’s on Nova Road — and a News-Journal story the following week on law-enforce-ment issues with bottle clubs — Sheriff Ben Johnson has put the hammer down. As of May 23, licensed bottle clubs may no longer serve alcohol or permit the con-sumption of alcohol past 2 a.m., the same as regular bars, and violators will be sub-ject to criminal penalties.

According to the VCSO, the sheriff is rely-ing on an interpretation of Florida law from the county’s legal department, which concluded that since bottle clubs are required to obtain a license to operate from the state, they are then subject to the county ordinance that prohibits the sale or consumption of alcohol at business estab-lishments between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m.

Papi’s and its next-door neighbor Daytona’s Last Call reside in an island of unincorporated Volusia County amid a sea of Holly Hill and Daytona Beach — a crazy quilt of zoning that makes gerrymandered legislative districts look linear. The sur-rounding cities prohibit bottle clubs; the county doesn’t. The Sheriff ’s Office is responsible for responding to calls for ser-vice (although Daytona Beach and Holly Hill also have responded to the clubs in emergencies).

And there have been many in recent years.

As The News-Journal reported, in the last two years, sheriff ’s deputies have respond-ed to Papi’s 184 times for various reasons, and received 141 calls at Last Call. Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood said the Mother’s Day homicide occurred just after 4 a.m. on the Oakridge Avenue bridge, and was preceded by a shoving match between the victim and the suspect behind Papi’s. In 2013, a man was shot to death in the Papi’s parking lot. That same year, police say a club patron was shot in the face in that same parking lot by another club goer.

There are numerous other examples of shots being fired, fights and other public disturbances, lending credence to the adage that nothing good ever happens after 2 a.m. — especially at establishments like Papi’s, whose first rule (of 17) is: “Enter at your own risk.”

The club owners plead innocence, argu-ing all of these conflicts occur outside their establishments and are therefore beyond their control. But it’s clear the clubs draw a certain kind of crowd that endangers public safety in the immediate area. Treating them as the de facto bars that they are — gathering places for people who drink — and thus limiting their hours of operation can reduce the potential for mischief.

It’s good the sheriff has taken action against the source of the problems, but there was sufficient reason to do so long before the recent homicide and News-Journal story.

If only eliminating those enclaves of unincorporated county were as simple.

By KEN JOHNSON

There are few people in Palatka whose lives have not been touched for good

by the Bob Webb family. With Bob’s departure from this life last Wednesday, memorial thoughts take over with a flood of feelings that are overwhelm-ingly welcome and warm.

My memories begin with Bob and Lee, a handsomely striking couple dressed to the nines making their way up the front steps of church while speaking to all around and laughing about the joy of life. That, for me, was 1996, my first year here in Palatka. Bob and Lee were kind in their welcome of Lois and me when we began our work at Rodeheaver Boys Ranch. Seeing them at church each week was an encourage-ment.

A few days later, I walked into the front office of WebbCOM, a service supply house for whatever an office might need. Lee met us with a smile, and after some pleasant-ries, Bob invited me into his office. As I listened, it became apparent he was a man to know, a man who could help us in our endeavors and he was not short on advice. That was the day he found out I was a Kiwanian and he was a

Rotarian. Through the years, we enjoyed our chats about community service, church, the ranch and family. His interest in my spiritual welfare kept me on my toes

Bob’s son, Doug, is one of our hunters here at the ranch and assists Dr. Mitchem in helping us keep things going for turkey and deer hunting. Doug was always helping us with needs and orders at WebbCOM, where he worked alongside his dad – and he has continued a close relationship with the ranch. We will miss Bob, but we still have Doug, and David, Randy and Diane to maintain the family connection.

Through the years our com-munity adjusted as the Webb family faced their trials. When Lee was diagnosed with a debil-itating sickness, even though she was a fighter, the disease finally took her home to heaven in August 2012. We knew her well enough to be certain that heaven was a place where she would fit right in. Lee was a driving force in the family for 61 years, and now Bob had to go it alone and “alone” had its challenges for him. Making the transition from “we” to “me” after the death of Lee was not appealing to Bob. His love for her along, with the hole in his life because of her passing, was touching to friends and family.

His heart was broken, and turning the page was a real struggle.

Bob has a host of civic and professional awards to his account. He was successful in business, family and church. God gave him 85 years, and he lived a good life. But the final challenge was faced with the realization his strength was not what it had been.

Bob was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2012, and his ability to communicate lessened as his larynx deterioration made a device necessary for him to communicate with oth-ers. Doug, Diane and David stayed as close as they could, and Bob continued to make as many appointments as possible. His opinion about things was valued by a host of people, and this contributed to an active chapter in his life toward the end. His testimony of salvation and service as a Christian kept him strong in his outlook – and one could say – his uplook.

Just last year, Bob received recognition from the ranch simultaneous with Judge Hedstrom and Dan Martinez. Bob designed the appeal contact system the ranch uses to peri-odically communicate its need to others. His immediate letter of thanks was themed with humility and the joy of helping. Service seemed to mean more to

him than an award.Shortly afterward, Bob

received word from doctors stat-ing tests revealed additional tumors were now present in other parts of his body. After meeting with friends and fami-ly, he decided not to actively fight it anymore and enjoy what days he had left with his fami-ly. Doug, David, Randy and Diane alternated at his side almost continually until he went home to be with the Lord.

When Lois and I were ascending the steps at church this week we looked at each other and thought at the same time, “Well, Bob and Lee are still here in spirit.” Some people impact you in such a way you can’t forget them. They were just real special.

Bob and Lee are together once again. They left a testimo-ny that they loved each other. They loved the Lord. They loved their family. They loved Palatka, and they loved us. That was special. Bob, we will miss you. Your legacy will live on in our hearts. Rest, our friend; you’ve earned it. Rest my friend. Christ made it possi-ble. We’ll see you again, and it won’t be that long for some of us.

HOROSCOPE

Embrace the future by walking away from the past. Concentrate on getting rid of whatever is hold-ing you back. The future looks promising where both personal and professional partnerships are concerned.

GEMINI(May 21-June 20)

Don’t reuse ineffective meth-ods when it comes to chasing your dreams. Share your ideas with confidence, and make sure everyone knows you have some-thing new and special to offer.

CANCER(June 21-July 22)

Your resiliency will be tested. Keep your emotions in check in order to deal with matters effec-tively and efficiently. An issue that began under difficult circum-stances will turn in your favor.

LEO(July 23-Aug. 22)

Be bold. Demonstrate your tal-ent to your superiors. Your atten-tion to detail will make the differ-ence between what you offer and the services of a rival.

VIRGO(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Don’t listen to critics. Trying

to please everyone is pointless. Some people will find fault no matter what you do or say. Get together with friends who share your ideas and ethics.

LIBRA(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

The insight of a casual acquain-tance will provide the catalyst for a new career path. Seek out the opinions of those with experience, and educate yourself about the possibilities.

SCORPIO(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Concentrate on working along-side your allies and supporters. Don’t waste time trying to con-vince skeptics. You and your sup-porters will make headway if you stick together.

SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

You will feel overwhelmed. Don’t make rash decisions. Take your emotions out of the equation, and assess your situation hon-estly. You still can succeed if you focus on simplicity and comple-tion.

CAPRICORN(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Someone you trusted will let you down. Rehashing the situ-ation won’t change matters; it

will only postpone the inevitable. Shake off the disappointment and move on.

AQUARIUS(Jan. 20-Feb. 19)

Carve out a comfortable niche for yourself and your family. You don’t have to spend a lot of money. A comfortable, safe environment is a refuge and stress-reliever dur-ing unsettling times.

PISCES(Feb. 20-March 20)

Make the truth a priority. Reneging on a promise will cause a major disruption to an important relationship. If you have been neglectful, now is the time to make amends.

ARIES(March 21-April 19)

Romance is in the stars. Your vivid imagination will be yearn-ing for a new adventure or des-tination. This is the right time to go exploring for the happiness you desire.

TAURUS(April 20-May 20)

You can outmaneuver the com-petition if you produce instead of dispute. A war of words will waste time and keep you from finalizing plans and projects. Success will silence your critics.

phenom

Dear Harriette: One of my friends refuses to leave a toxic relationship. They have been together for two years, but during this time, there has always been drama. He is very protective of her and will freak out whenever the relationship is threatened. He even threatened me once, as well as a couple of her other best friends, and she never did any-thing about it. Recently, she has been cheating on him with mul-tiple guys. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for her to end the relationship, but she refuses to leave him, claiming that she loves him too much. I have continually tried to get her to end things, but she refuses and gets defensive. I do not know if I can be friends with her if she continues seeing this guy. How should I approach her about leav-ing him for good? — Fed Up, Cincinnati

Dear Fed Up: You know already that you have no control over your friend’s choices. That said, you do have control over

yourself. If you fear for your safety because her boyfriend has threatened you, speak up and tell your friend that you choose not to hang out with her because of that fear. If you are simply tired of all of the drama between your friend and her boyfriend and the stress that it has placed on your friendship, say that to her.

Your focus in the conversa-tion needs to be about you in relation to her behavior. Asking her to leave her boyfriend won’t work. Telling her that you have decided to leave the friendship because of her behavior and how it makes you feel is your best option. Perhaps she will recon-sider her choices if the repercus-sions mean that she might lose a dear friend.

Dear Harriette: Recently, I have been noticing that my close friend, who is a high school junior, has been drinking more. It has gone from just one drink to three or five. It is alarming, since this has become a daily ritual for her. She drinks after work every

day. While I know this is a typi-cal thing for many people, it has not been a normal thing for her. Instead of just getting a little buzz, my friend won’t stop until she is flat-out drunk. It has even gotten to the point where I have to make sure she is at home and OK at least a couple of days a week. I have tried talking to her siblings about this problem, but they just pretend like it is not happening. How do I help my friend see that she has a problem that needs to be fixed? — Scared and Concerned, Rochester, New York

Dear Scared And Concerned: As scary as this may seem, I recommend that you speak to your friend’s parents about their daughter’s drinking. Tell them how much you love their daugh-ter and that you are genuinely worried about her. Point out that you know she will be upset if she finds out that you said any-thing, but you had to tell them so that they can help their daughter before it’s too late.

ADVICE BY HARRIETTE COLECROSSWORD

Saturday’s Answer

BRIDGE

Friend won’t leave toxic beau

COMICS

Doug Larson, a newspaper col-umnist and editor, said, “If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would prob-ably be Labor Day weekend.”

If a bridge player knows about endplays (this week’s theme), he will not labor long over today’s

deal. How should South play in four spades after West leads the diamond jack?

Some players with that North hand would respond four spades. They would mention the Law of Total Tricks, saying it recom-mends that with a 10-card fit, bid to the 10-trick level. But that applies when your side cannot have the normal high-card values for game or when it is a competi-tive auction. Here, South could have 19 or 20 points, and the auction is not competitive. Also, North has a balanced hand with a lot of losers. I think two spades is the correct response.

If West had led a club (unthink-able from his actual holding), the defenders could have taken three

tricks in the suit and gotten off play with a spade or diamond. Then declarer would have had to find the heart queen. But now he does not need to guess its location.

He wins with his diamond ace (top of touching honors from the closed hand), draws trumps, cashes his diamond king, and exits with a club.

The defenders take three tricks in that suit, but what can the one on lead do next?

If he chooses a heart, declarer plays second hand low and can-not lose a trick in the suit. If that defender returns a diamond or club, South ruffs in one hand and discards his heart loser from the other hand. Cool!

By Ahmed Al-hAjAssociated Press

SANAA, Yemen — A free-lance journalist who was among several Americans held by Iranian-backed Shiite rebels in Yemen was set free Monday as a French hostage abducted in Yemen by an unknown party appeared in a video pleading for help.

State Department spokes-woman Marie Harf said that freelance journalist Casey Coombs, who was injured, has been released and is in Oman.

T h e r e b e l s , k n o w n a s Houthis, seized Yemen’s capi-tal last year and have been the target of a U.S.-backed and Saudi-led air campaign since March 26. Neighboring Oman mediated the deal to release Coombs, a freelance reporter working for The Intercept online news website and other publications.

Emails to the Intercept seeking comment were not i m m e d i a t e l y r e t u r n e d . Coombs repor ted in the Intercept in early May that he was having trouble leaving Yemen.

A video meanwhile surfaced s h o w i n g F r e n c h w o m a n Isabelle Prime, a World Bank consultant who was kid-napped in February, pleading for help. The Associated Press viewed the video on Monday.

Prime was abducted in the rebel-held capital, Sanaa, along with her Yemeni trans-lator, who was released short-ly afterward. There has been no word until now on her fate.

The Houthis control the capital and much of northern Yemen, but the country is also home to a powerful local al-Qaida affiliate that has car-ried out attacks in Sanaa and abducted foreigners in the past to trade for ransom or imprisoned militants.

I n t h e v i d e o , P r i m e appeared sitting in the desert dressed in a black robe and looking frail and anguished. S h e a d d r e s s e d F r e n c h President Francois Hollande and Yemeni President Abed

Rabbo Mansour Hadi by name, saying, “Please bring me to France fast because I am really, really tired.”

French Foreign Ministry spokesman Romain Nadal said his government has veri-fied the authenticity of the video and that it was filmed in April. Nadal said officials from the ministry will meet with the Prime family on Tuesday.

He told AP that the French government is “mobilized to obtain the release” of Prime.

Word of four abducted Americans first surfaced on Friday when The Washington Post reported that three held private sector jobs, and that the fourth holds dual U.S.-Yemeni citizenship. It said the Americans are believed to be imprisoned in Sanaa. Harf said the State Department was working to win the release of several Americans detained in Yemen.

Another American, Sharif Mobley, has been held in unclear circumstances for m o r e t h a n f i v e y e a r s . Terrorism charges against him were dropped by a court during the rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who stepped down in 2012 after massive protests. But Mobley was never released, and was accused of killing a prison guard dur ing an escape attempt. He is now believed to be in the custody of the Houthis, who are allied with Saleh.

The Post report said the four most recently detained a r e a m o n g d o z e n s o f

Americans who were unable to leave Yemen or who chose to remain in the country after the U.S. closed its embassy following the Houthis’ capture of the capital.

The Saudi-led coalition launched its air campaign on March 26 in a bid to roll back the rebels and restore to power President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who fled to Saudi Arabia that month in the face of a rebel advance on the south. But two months of bombing have done little to push back the Houthis and allied military units loyal to Saleh.

The airstrikes and ground fighting have killed more than 1,000 civilians and displaced a half million people, according to the U.N.

On Monday, coalition war-planes bombed the capital, targeting weapons depots in nearby Noqoum mountain. Heavy smoke rose from the mountain as explosions rocked the area.

The ongoing fighting forced a ship carrying food aid to change course. The ship, char-tered by the United Nations World Food Program, was des-tined for the Yemeni port of Aden, but port authorities warned it to change direction because of the fighting and head to the western Red Sea port city of Hodeida, a state-ment from the group said.

US: Kerry’s leg won’t hinder Iran talksBy mAtthew lee

Associated Press

W A S H I N G T O N — Secretary of State John Kerry headed home Monday to B o s t o n f r o m G e n e v a , Switzerland, for surgery on his broken leg, as U.S. officials insisted that his injury would not hinder his participation in nuclear negotiations with Iran.

With an end-of-June dead-line for an Iranian deal fast approaching, the 71-year-old Kerry left Geneva aboard a U.S. military plane accompa-nied by his orthopedic surgeon Dennis Burke and additional medical personnel.

Off ic ials said Burke is expected in the coming days to perform surgery on Kerry’s right femur, which Kerry frac-tured on Sunday in a bicycle accident when he struck a curb and fell on a regular Tour de France route in France located southeast of the Swiss city.

He had been receiving treat-ment at Geneva’s main medi-cal center, HUG, and is to r e c e i v e f u r t h e r c a r e a t M a s s a c h u s e t t s G e n e r a l Hospital once he returns home. Kerry, an avid cyclist, had hip replacement surgery

several years ago. The frac-ture was near the hip, leading to speculation that his recov-ery would be lengthy and pre-vent h im f rom be ing as involved in the Iran negotia-tions as he has been over the past two years.

The State Department sought to tamp down such suggestions, saying that Kerry is committed “to pursuing an aggressive recovery schedule” and had spent much of Sunday and Monday on the phone with colleagues, including President Barack Obama and counterparts, including the French, Spanish and Iranian foreign ministers. Kerry had spent six hours with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamad Javad Zarif on Saturday in Geneva before his bike acci-dent.

“Secretary Kerry’s main focus for the month of June remains squarely on the Iran negotiations,” spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters. “His injury does not change that. He and the entire team are absolutely committed to the same timetable and are working toward June 30th as the deadline for these talks.”

Kerry himself expressed optimism as his plane took off f rom Geneva , say ing on

Twitter that that was eager to return to work.

“Look fwd to getting leg set & g e t t i n g b a c k t o @StateDept ! ” he tweeted . “Meantime, work goes on. Big thanks f o r we l l -w i shes . #Onward . ” In a French-l a n g u a g e t w e e t , K e r r y thanked the local Swiss and French police and emergency workers, calling them “real professionals.”

The State Department referred questions about Kerry’s treatment and recov-ery time to his physicians.

But Harf stressed that Kerry expects to participate in person in upcoming rounds of negotiations with Iran.

At the White House, spokes-man Josh Earnest appeared less certain but maintained that Kerry ’ s broken l eg wouldn’t derail the talks.

“We do continue to believe that we have the time and resources necessary to pursue and hopefully complete the Iran negotiations,” Earnest said, expressing confidence that Kerry will continue to play a “critically important and leading role” with hopes of completing the deal by the end of the month.

He said, however, that it was unlikely Kerry would be

able to return to his previous pace of travel for the talks.

And, the broken leg has already hit his travel plans.

Kerry had planned to trav-el to Madrid on Sunday for meetings with Spain’s king and prime minister, before spending two days in Paris for an international gather-ing to combat the Islamic State. He will now participate in the Par i s c on fe rence remotely.

Kerry had been taken by helicopter to the Geneva hos-pital following the accident on Sunday after a paramedic and a physician who were travel-ing in his motorcade at the time of crash provided him with immediate attention. X-rays confirmed the extent of his injury.

His regular government plane returned Sunday night to the United States carrying much of his staff and reporters who had accompanied him on the trip. He had hoped to leave later in the day on a plane fit-ted with special medical equipment.

Kerry’s cycling rides have been a regular occurrence on his trips. He often takes his bike with him on the plane and was riding that bicycle Sunday.

Winningwith

experience

The top sports stories in anoth-er Weekend That Was:

5. For the second time in his career, Steven Bowditch

is a winner on the PGA Tour, shoot-ing a 64 on the final day Sunday of the Byron Nelson Open to win the Texas event by four strokes.

4. Inspired by the celebration of the life of his friend, the late Oscar Taveras, Carlos Martinez throws one-hit ball over seven innings and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers at Busch Stadium, 3-1, to take two out of three games in the series featur-ing the two best teams in the National League.

3. Jonathan Toews scores twice and the Chicago Blackhawks take out the Anaheim Ducks, 5-3, in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals on Saturday night to advance to the Stanley Cup finals to face the Tampa Bay Lightning.

2. For the 10th time in his career, Jimmie Johnson wins at the Monster Mile at Dover International Speedway, capturing the FedEx 400 crown, his fourth title this season.

1. The University of Florida has a big weekend as the softball team, the defending national cham-pion, advances to face Michigan in the three-game World Series, and the baseball team win its regional to advance to the super regional round.

Our topic of discussion: 3. The Stanley Cup is set.

Experience, it turns out, has no substitute.

What other way can you describe what happened Saturday night at the Honda Center in Anaheim? The Ducks were the top seed in the Western Conference. In other words, they were expected to take care of business and advance on to face the Lightning for the Stanley Cup, host-ing Game 1.

Ah, but that’s where that whole experience thing took over. The Chicago Blackhawks used to be known as that franchise that couldn’t get it done. But not since the 2009-10 season. They won the Stanley Cup that year and three years later, they were back to win another Cup.

Seems like the Blackhawks and the Los Angeles Kings are taking turns in representing the Western Conference in the finals. On Saturday night, it was Jonathan Toews who provided the early fire-works with both his goals within the first 12 minutes of the game. By the time the second period rolled around, the Blackhawks had already built a 4-0 lead in front of the Ducks’ home crowd.

Toews is a veteran of those two Stanley Cup championship teams. So is Patrick Kane, who assisted on three of the Blackhawks’ goals. And so is defenseman Duncan Keith, who once again came up big in a deciding game and who delivered an amazing 231 minutes on the ice in the seven games. And Brad Richards, who 11 years ago was the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as the Most Valuable Player in Tampa Bay’s lone Cup vic-tory, delivered a pair of assists.

Anaheim’s Ducks has plenty of talent and former Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau has done a tremendous job of bringing this team together in such a short amount of time. There’s no question he’s made the Ducks a team to be reckoned with the next few years.

But the one thing these Ducks lacked is experience. Teams with no experience and up 3-2 in playoff series let psychological things swim in their heads. Teams down 3-2 with experience figure things out. That’s what happened as the Blackhawks outscored the Ducks, 10-5, in the final two games of the series, leaving Ducks players like star Ryan Getzlaf apologizing for the Game 7 perfor-mance.

Husband-wife teamwins night bass event

By GreG WalkerDaily News correspondent

The husband/wife team of Frank and Kathy Streeter of Switzerland, who also have a weekend home on Dunns Creek, took advantage of familiar waters to best a field of 24 boats in the Thursday night bass tournament at Corky Bell’s Landing with a five-fish limit weighing 15.19 pounds. The team took home $500.

“We fished nearly half the length of the creek,” said Kathy. “I was fish-ing a speed worm around the pads and tree tops, while Frank fished drops with a Carolina rig. We culled only one fish.”

Second p lace went to Chad

Willoughby and Alan Hopper with 10.54 pounds that included the sec-ond largest fish of the tournament at 3.91 pounds. The San Mateo team earned $220.

Larry Cahan and Brenda Chancey of San Mateo were third with 10.05 pounds to collect

Parker Jones and Shane Dahlgren of Palatka took the last paying place with only two fish weighing 9.87, but 7.29 pounds of that total was a large-mouth that took the tournament’s big fish pot. The last-place check was just $40, but the big fish pot added $120 to their winnings.

Parker said he caught the big fish

WOMEN’S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES

Haeger powers Gators past MichiganUF win away from repeat as national champion

By Cliff BruntAssociated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — Lauren Haeger had a home run and three RBI against Michigan, but what she didn’t do Monday night could play a more important role in Florida’s

championship hopes.Haeger, the national player of the

year, is also her team’s ace pitcher. After winning three games at the Women’s College World Series, she got a break from the mound Monday, and her t eammates hand led Michigan anyway.

Freshman Aleshia Ocasio and sophomore Delanie Gourley com-bined to beat the Wolverines 3-2 and put the Gators within one win of a repeat national title.

Haeger threw 160 pitches against Auburn on Sunday, so coach Tim Walton didn’t want to use her. He didn’t need to. Ocasio went six innings and gave up two runs to earn the win, and Gourley got the save for the Gators (59-6).

“First of all, I’m just so proud of them,” Haeger said. “They work so hard, just like I do. They deserve what they did tonight. Aleshia is amazing, Delanie is amazing, and I’ve told them the whole time that

I’m going to need them to have my back this whole entire tournament.”

The teams will meet again tonight in Game 2 of the best-of-three cham-pionship series, and the Wolverines likely will have to deal with a rested Haeger.

Michigan expected to see her Monday.

“We prepared for her,” Michigan coach Carol Hutchins said. “It was

Scoreless SpringA few highlights for Warriors despite 0-2 jamboree

By andy HallPalatka Daily News

JACKSONVILLE

Peniel Baptist Academy didn’t get much of a chance to show its new spread offense in a jamboree that wrapped up spring practice Saturday night.

Between a long Seacoast Christian touchdown drive and a safety on the Warriors’ sec-ond offensive play, they only snapped it six times in the second quarter of a 9-0 loss. They had the ball a bit more in the third quarter and managed a couple of first downs, but were burned for three long touch-down passes in a 22-0 loss to First Coast Christian.

The scores don’t count in jamborees, however, and did not matter to Peniel coach Jason Morris, noting that he had only five high school-age players

in uniform as his team launched its second season of eight-man football.

“We made a few mistakes, let some people get behind us on touchdowns,” he said. “At the level we’re playing, if we work hard in the weight room this summer, it could be a breakout year.”

Quarterback Gage Tibbs bounced back twice from injuries to run five times for 26 yards, includ-ing one sack but not including a big loss on a high snap he had to recover at the 2-yard-line. Tibbs completed two of six passes for eight yards; he was intercepted twice, the second as time ran out in the third quarter, and had a potential touchdown pass dropped.

Defensive highlights included an interception by Ariel Leto, a pass breakup by Frankie Comer and

Aussie guardsparksCavaliers

By tom WitHersAssociated Press

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — The kid was fearless, relentless, a hustler.

Growing up in tiny Maryborough, Australia, Matthew Dellavedova tried every sport. And no matter if it was playing basketball, soccer, Aussie rules football, tennis, cricket or field hockey, the Cavaliers backup point guard went after the ball with disre-gard for his body.

Face first.“He’s always been that way,” said

his 77-year-old grandfather, Alan Dellavedova, who watches all of Cleveland’s games in Australia. “He doesn’t leave anything out there. What he has, he gives. And if he sees the ball, he wants it.”

It’s been that way in the NBA play-offs.

Dellavedova has become a cult hero in Cleveland, where his play has endeared “Delly” to teammates and fans, who relate to his approach and undrafted underdog story.

It’s the exact opposite in Chicago and Atlanta, where he’s a villain who crashes into players’ knees and irri-tates opponents.

As he and his Cleveland team-mates prepare for this week’s NBA Finals against Golden State, the once obscure Dellavedova has been thrust into an unlikely spotlight. It’s new territory for the easygoing 24-year-old, who has grown a scratchy beard during a postseason in which he’s raised his game while All-Star Kyrie Irving battles knee and foot injuries.

In the closing moments of the Cavs’ series-sweeping win over the Hawks, Dellavedova stepped to the foul line inside a rumbling Quicken Loans Arena and bathed in Cleveland’s love as 20,000 fans chanted “Del-lee, Del-lee.”

“I just wanted to knock the free throw down,” Dellavedova said, smil-ing at his fresh memory of the ova-tion.

during the early part of the three-hour event on a crank bait.

The Thursday night tournament is a weekly event. Anglers launch at 5:30 from Palatka City Docks, and weigh in at 8:30 at Corky Bell’s Landing.

Adam Hemphill is tournament weigh master.“The tournament is open to everyone,” said

tournament director Mark Blevins. “The entry fee is $40 per boat.”

Corky Bell’s Restaurant and Beck Motors spon-sor the tournament.

As unhappy as the fans were, they know the nucleus is there for another strong run. The Ducks are a big and strong team who can go far next year and in years to come.

The one thing they lacked they will make up for it after this series. They will learn from this expe-rience.

For now, the Blackhawks will represent the Western Conference again and be the favorite to win a third Cup in the last six years. They will have that “it” factor again when they lace them up against the Lightning. None of the Lightning play-ers were on the 2004 team that won that Stanley Cup title, though Steven Stamkos is a terrific scor-er and player.

I predicted the Blackhawks to win the Stanley Cup when the calendar turned. Too much talent.

Oh, and a lot of experience. That goes a long way.

NFL

Jaguars claim QB from BillsJACKSONVILLE — The Jacksonville Jaguars

have a new quarterback, one familiar with offensive assistants Doug Marrone and Nathaniel Hackett.

The Jaguars were awarded Jeff Tuel off waivers from Buffalo on Monday, reuniting him with two of his former Bills coaches.

Jacksonville waived quarterback Jake Waters to make room for Tuel on the 90-man roster.

Tuel played in two games with one start for the Bills over two seasons. He spent his entire rookie year on the 53-man roster and made his only career start against Kansas City on Nov. 3, 2013. He spent most of last season on the practice squad, working under former Bills head coach Marrone and assis-tant Hackett.

Both joined Jacksonville this year, Marrone as offensive line coach and Hackett as quarterbacks coach.

Dolphins’ Sturgis sidelinedDAVIE — Miami Dolphins kicker Caleb Sturgis is

expected to miss the rest of the team’s spring prac-tices with a leg injury.

Sturgis was absent from Monday’s workout and will likely sit out the eight remaining OTA and mini-camp practices this month, coach Joe Philbin said. The injury creates an opportunity for undrafted rookie Andrew Franks, the other placekicker on the roster. Even if healthy, Sturgis might be in danger of losing his job. The two-year veteran was slowed by a groin injury during the preseason last year, and he then went only 16 for 29 on field-goal attempts, which ranked 28th in the league.

Sturgis kicked for the University of Florida and St. Augustine High School.

Giants punter unhurt in crashEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Rattled but mostly

unhurt, New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford said he’s just happy to be alive after totaling a rented car on the New Jersey Turnpike early Monday as he tried to return home for practice from watching the birth of a daughter in California.

He flew east from his offseason home in San Diego on Sunday night after welcoming the 10 1/2-pound baby — his fourth child — but was diverted from Newark to Washington because of thunderstorms pelting the East Coast. He landed too late to catch a train north, so rented a car for the four-hour drive.

Weatherford posted a picture of the mangled car on Instagram after the 3:30 a.m. crash, saying it wrecked as he hit “a massive body of water” going about 70 mph.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

UAB reverses decision to drop sportBIRMINGHAM, Ala. — UAB President Ray

Watts said Monday he is bringing the football pro-gram back as early as 2016, reversing a decision to shut it down because it was too expensive.

Watts cited renewed financial commitment from supporters, students and the city as reasons for the change of heart.

He said donors have pledged to make up the pro-jected $17.2 million deficit over the next five years if football is restored. Watts told The Associated Press he decided on Monday morning to reverse the earlier decision after meetings with UAB supporters contin-ued through the weekend.

In addition to reinstating football, Watts said Monday that he was also bringing back bowling and rifle. The study commissioned by the university was based on the programs being brought back in 2016. However, new athletic director Mark Ingram stopped short of guaranteeing 2016, saying only that the goal is to bring football back as soon as possible.

back-to-back sacks by C.J. Prescott for losses totaling 12 yards.

Sheffield Park was a proving ground for a few Warriors on Saturday.

“Nate Tibbs did a great job on the line (as center and nose guard). He’s an eighth-grader (who will be

a freshman this fall) and he set the tone for his career. Tonight was important for him,” Morris said. “Zack Bush did a great job at line-backer and running back. C.J. Prescott had a couple of sacks. We’re going to have some good things out of him. Gage had some good runs and threw some good passes.

“We had young guys step up when we had to bring kids out. We tried Frankie in the wildcat

offense (when Gage Tibbs was sidelined) and he did a good job.”

Even some of the older Peniel players have little or no experi-ence. The jamboree was the first live action for Leto, even though he will be a senior this season. Leto came back from dropping a potential touchdown pass to make an interception against Seacoast.

“I like the tenacity he showed. He’s going to be an asset,” Morris said.

The Warriors were in a 9-0 hole after seven minutes against Seacoast, which opened with an 11-play, 65-yard touchdown drive and picked up a safety when Peniel was flagged for holding in the end zone on its second offen-sive play.

First Coast Christian scored on the first play of the third quarter and added two touchdowns in the final 3:29, the last score set up by an interception.

in the back of my mind — I knew it was possible they wouldn’t start her, but I don’t coach their team. So we just had to prepare, and ultimately, regardless of who is pitching, we just need to have good at-bats and see the ball. I thought we gave away a lot of at-bats. We swung at a lot of their pitches.”

M i c h i g a n ( 5 9 - 7 ) s a w i t s 28-game win streak snapped. The Wolverines hadn’t lost since April 3.

“We didn’t really come out to

play to win until about the fifth inning,” Hutchins said. “Our energy — we seemed a little ten-tative.”

Haeger opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the bot-tom of the first inning, her third home run of the World Series. In her next at-bat, she doubled in a run to give Florida a 3-0 lead in the third inning.

Michigan’s Abby Ramirez sin-gled in the sixth to score Olivia Richvalsky and Kelsey Susalla and cut Florida’s lead to 3-2.

Michigan had runners at first and third with no outs in the sev-enth against Gourley, but did not score . S ierra Romero , who walked to start the inning,

advanced to second on a passed ball and reached third on Kelly Christner’s single. Susalla hit a ball hard to shortstop, and Romero hesitated because she was unsure if the fielder would try to throw her out at home. Instead, Florida went for the dou-ble play, making it a missed opportunity for Michigan.

“She hesitated obviously, because she doesn’t want to make the out at the plate,” Hutchins said. “Once you hesitate, you can’t go. That is the right deci-sion because it was a quick play, bang-bang. They made a great play. Give their defense all the credit in the world. Their defense is fantastic. When I saw them

(try to) turn the double play, I was yelling, ‘Go, go,’ but it was too late. She had to hesitate, and she made that decision, and that’s the way it is.”

Gour ley then s t ruck out Lauren Sweet and got Lindsey Montemarano to ground out to end the game. It was Gourley’s fifth save of the season.

“It was a big-time rough situa-tion, but they prepare us every game, and every game, they tell us they’re going to need a whole pitching staff,” Gourley said. “All week, Aleshia and I have been behind Lauren’s back. We’ve been ready at any moment, and in that time, I was just ready to execute and make my pitches.”

NCAA BASEBALL

FSU win sets up Super Regional at FloridaBy Brent Kallestad

Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE — Quincy Nieporte homered and drove in four runs Monday to lead Florida State to a 8-1 victory over College of Charleston and into a berth in this weekend’s NCAA Super Regional at archrival Florida.

Freshman Drew Carlton (5-5) fanned nine in 6 2-3 scoreless innings and allowed six hits to earn the win.

After sliding into the postseason on a five-game losing streak, Florida State (44-19) has won its last seven games to capture the Atlantic Coast Conference and NCAA regional crowns.

Nieporte’s eighth-inning home run Saturday gave the Seminoles a 3 -2 w in over Co l l ege o f Charleston, forcing the Cougars (45-15) into the losers’ bracket of the double-elimination regional tournament.

Flor ida State jumped on C o u g a r s s t a r t e r H a y d e n McCutcheon (1-2) for its first three

runs immediately following a 57-minute weather delay in the third inning.

DJ Stewart, who scored twice, doubled home the game’s first run, scored on a sacrifice fly, and Nieporte contributed an RBI sin-gle.

The Cougars scored their only run on a passed ball in the eighth.

WCWSCONTINUED FROM PAGE 8A

If not for Dellavedova’s contri-butions, the Cavs may not have beaten the Bulls. With Irving on the bench in Game 6 with his knee wrapped, Dellavedova, s c o r e d 1 9 p o i n t s t o h e l p Cleveland advance.

The points were a bonus from the 6-foot-4 Dellavedova, whose primary role is to provide defense and keep things going while Irving’s off the floor.

Actually, Dellavedova’s most impactful plays this postseason have come with him on the floor

— down, on the floor.Against Chicago, he skir-

mished with Bulls forward Taj Gibson, who angrily reacted to Dellavedova scissor-locking one of his legs and was ejected. In Cleve land ’s ser ies aga inst Atlanta, Dellavedova lunged for a loose ball, rolling over and injur-ing Hawks shooter Kyle Korver, who was knocked from the series and underwent surgery. He also tang led w i th At lanta ’ s A l Horford, who threw an elbow, got t o s s e d a n d t h e n a c c u s e d Dellavedova of being dirty.

A t l a n t a ’ s p l a y - b y - p l a y announcer called him “Tonya Harding , ” re ferr ing to the Olympic ice skater whose ex-hus-

band hired a goon squad to whack Nancy Kerrigan’s knee.

Almost immediately, the Cavs came to Dellavedova’s side with coach David Blatt insisting “he doesn’t have an unsportsmanlike bone in his body.”

Dellavedova said the outside comments stung, but he won’t let them sink in.

“To call someone dirty is a pretty serious accusation,” he said. “I wasn’t happy with that. But you can’t control what people think.”

One of his Aussie mates has his back. Warriors center Andrew Bogut said he doesn’t think Dellavedova is dirty and if Korver had reached the loose ball first,

he likely would not have been hurt.

“If he sees a loose ball, if he has to box out a guy bigger than him, he’ll do so. I don’t think he’s intentionally trying to take guys’ legs out,” Bogut said. “A guy you love to play with, I guess, and hate to play against. But I don’t think he’s dirty by any means.”

Dellavedova only learned one way to play — hard.

“You have to be able to put your nose in there and go get it,” he said. “I don’t know how it is in America, but in Australia, the first thing you’re taught is that if you want to be a good player, you’ve got to go win the ball.”

That goes in practice, too.

Man on death row commits suicide

A northeast Florida man sen-tenced to death for fatally beat-ing his parents with a baseball bat appears to have committed suicide.

Authorities say 41-year-old Gregory David Larkin was found dead in his Death Row cell at Florida State Prison on Wednesday night. The appar-ent cause of death was asphyxi-ation.

Authorities say Larkin attacked his mother, 73-year-old Myra A. Larkin, while she was watching a movie in April 2009. He then went to the garage, where he attacked his father, 75-year-old Richard C. Larkin Jr.

NAPLES

Landlord convicted in fatal shooting

An elderly southwest Florida landlord has been convicted of killing a tenant during a con-frontation over unpaid rent.

Collier County jurors reject-ed 79-year-old Javier Ortoll’s self-defense claims and found him guilty Friday of second-degree murder. He faces a pos-sible life sentence.

Authorities say Ortoll got into an argument with 51-year-old Edward Melone in October 2013 because the tenant had not paid his rent.

Officer hurt after ramming suspect’s car

A central Florida police offi-cer is recovering after using his cruiser to ram the car of a flee-ing suspect during a wild chase that narrowly avoided patrons at a nearby ice cream shop.

A Tavares police officer was treated and released from a hospital Thursday night after he and three officers intention-ally drove their cars into the truck of 54-year-old Gene Blick.

arresting one on a federal indictment.

Deputies in the Drug and Vice Unit, along with the Street Crimes Unit, spread

FHP officials did not say whether charges would be filed against Brown. Neither Bartelli nor Shope were wear-ing helmets.

Putnam County Supervisor of Elections Charles Overturf III said the city’s previous resi-dency requirement ordinance disappeared when the state statute changed. When the previous commission voted to put it back in place, they sup-ported a year res idency requirement instead of six months.

The commissioners who voted against the ordinance are currently serving on the commission with three new

members. Overturf asked the commis-

sion Thursday how he should enforce the residency require-ment. He said some cities have had problems enforcing the residency requirements and the state Supreme Court recently upheld an appeal filed by someone who opposed the residency requirement in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.

Commissioner Mary Lawson Brown said she’s not sure where city residences and county residences differ in some enclaves. Hill said the residency requirement creates an additional barrier for those

who want to run for office and questioned how it would be monitored.

Overturf said he could moni-tor residency by voting records, verifying someone voted with a Palatka address during an election that took place a year before they became a candi-date.

C o m m i s s i o n e r J u s t i n Campbell suggested the com-mission revisit the ordinance, with the six month residency requirement, at the June 11 commission meeting. If the res-idency requirement remained a year, candidates would have to be a resident of Palatka by June 20 to qualify as a candi-

date for the 2016 election. So far, three people have

filed letters of intent to run for Brown’s seat in 2016.

Rebollar became upset and had carried a grudge since that time,” Schauland said. “The ne ighbor a l so t o ld Deputy Riley that in the past, Rebollar has fired a weapon near them in an attempt to scare them.”

Rebollar was booked into the Putnam County Jail in lieu of $2,008 bond, the sher-iff’s office reported, but he was released after posting bond.

G A I N E S V I L L E — Towering, century-old pine trees near a University of Florida golf course are saved after neighbors protested their

removal by the school.Crews arrived to cut down the

80-foot-tall pine trees because golf course managers said they cast too much shade over a near-by golfing green, making it harder to maintain.

A couple who l ives in Gainesville’s Golf View neigh-borhood called the university to complain.

K i m T a n z e r a n d R o b McGalliard say the green was moved a few years ago.
