Five same-sex couples apply for marriage licenses in PutnamBY BRANDON D. OLIVER
Palatka Daily News
A handful of same-sex couples took advantage of their newfound right to marry on Tuesday, the first day that the marriages were allowed and rec-ognized in Florida.
The stay on U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle’s ruling that the state’s ban on same-sex marriages was unconstitutional ended at the end of the business day on Monday.
And when the door of the Putnam County Courthouse opened on Tuesday, same-sex couples were allowed to apply for marriage licens-es in the county.
Melanie Bryan, the supervisor of the clerk of court’s records depart-ment, said Putnam was one of the many Florida counties that issued licenses to same-sex couples.
“We’ve issued five same-sex mar-riage (licenses) this morning,” Bryan said at about 4 p.m. Tuesday. “We
didn’t do the ceremony.” Bryan said that while her depart-
ment didn’t perform any marriage ceremonies on Tuesday, two couples said they’d be back after the three-day waiting period to have the court system perform their marriage.
The waiting period after applying for the marriage license applies to all couples, Bryan said, unless the cou-ple is from out of state or the couple has proof that they have taken a pre-marital preparation course.
Bryan and Clerk of Court Tim Smith said that court officials would readily perform marriage services for all couples regardless of sexual orientation.
But some counties – Baker, Clay and Duval counties included – have stopped performing courthouse mar-riage ceremonies, citing a number of reasons, same-sex marriage being one of them.
Mere weeks ago, clerks from Putnam and more than 40 other
counties – on the advice of the legal team representing the Florida Association of Court Clerks and Comptrollers – said their systems wouldn’t issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples because of the ambiguity of Hinkle’s ruling.
Last week, Hinkle issued a clarifi-cation to his August ruling and stat-ed that the ban on same-sex mar-riage was unconstitutional for all
PHA, city reach agreement on Laurel Street lots
BY ASIA AIKINSPalatka Daily News
Palatka Housing Authority and City of Palatka officials came to an “amicable compromise” Tuesday regarding public housing on Laurel Street.
City commissioners will consider a new letter of understanding Thursday, which includes the devel-opment of two single-family PHA units on Laurel Street in Palatka.
“I think this is an amicable compromise,” said PHA Commissioner Brenda Bivins. “We don’t want to be at contention with the city.”
Last month, the Palatka City Commission voted to authorize the PHA annual and five-year plans with the exception of the development of multifamily housing units.
PHA Executive Director John Nelson said the development of multi-family units were planned at 913 and 923 Laurel St. The PHA purchased the prop-erties in November.
The city commission said the development of multi-family units in a historic district was not in line with the city’s comprehensive plan.
“Originally, we planned to build six units, not spe-cific to any site,” Nelson told the PHA Board of Commissioners during a special meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Nelson requested that the Palatka City Commission reconsider the PHA’s annual and five-year plans on Thursday, which have been amended to include the development of four units in the city within the next year.
“Two single family, detached units would be on Laurel Street and two more units would be at other sites sometime during our year,” he said. “The units (on Laurel Street) will be sympathetic to the historic neighborhood.”
The PHA Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the changes on Tuesday.
Nelson said he met with Palatka City Manager Michael Czymbor on Monday, after reviewing the original letter of understanding included in Thursday’s Palatka City Commission packet. The original letter included plans for the city to purchase the Laurel Street properties from the PHA.
“It was a starting point,” Czymbor said. “We thought it was a reasonable compromise that would solve the concerns the South Historic

MARKED FOR HISTORYMore historical plaques are coming to Palatka
BY ASIA AIKINSPalatka Daily News
Putnam County historians are hoping to catch the eye of local visitors with a large, bronze his-toric marker sign placed at the
Bronson-Mulholland House. The Putnam County Historical
Society, Palatka North Neighborhood Association and city’s Community Redevelopment Agency partnered to fund the historic marker, which is
expected to draw attention to the city-owned property.
“This is a significant part of bringing more people here who are interested in the history of the Bronson-Mulholland House,” said Roberta Correa, Putnam County Historical Society member. “Here you get the direct information before you even enter the house.”
The sign was placed at the end of the historic house’s driveway Tuesday morning. Palatka Special Projects manager Jonathan Griffith said city
crews facilitated the installation of the sign, while the historical society did “all of the leg work.”
Correa said she and longtime resi-dent Larry Beaton researched and gathered most of the information for the sign last year and submitted the language to the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation for approval in June.

Barbara Thomas, manager of the Palatka Publix, made the check pre-sentation to Ramicah Johnson, exec-utive director of Putnam Habitat for Humanity.
“We are so blessed to have this ongoing support from Publix Super Markets Charities for our new homes and home repair programs in Putnam County,” Johnson said. “We are proud of our ongoing relationship with Publix as we continue to reach those people most in need of critical and emergency home repairs; many of whom are elderly or disabled.”

Demand for state prison death investigations growingBy Kelli Kennedy
Associated Press
MIAMI — State law enforcement officials asked legislators for addi-tional funds Monday to keep up with the growing demand for death inves-tigations at Florida’s troubled pris-ons.
The Department of Corrections, or DOC, has been marred by allegations of inmate abuse and cover-ups at Florida prisons in the past year, prompting dozens of firings and an agencywide overhaul. The scrutiny prompted the secretary earlier this year to put the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in charge of all investigations into deaths that occurred under unnatural circum-stances.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement says investigations of
inmate deaths that occurred while in the custody of prison employees or as the result of such employees’ use of force have increased 29 percent in the past five years. Authorities asked members of a Senate committee for $8.4 million to help with the 82 cases it inherited from the Department of Corrections, plus the 104 cases the Department of Law Enforcement opened on its own.
During the Tallahassee meeting, lawmakers also said the two depart-ments must clarify whether all deaths are being investigated or only suspi-cious deaths. Lawmakers expressed concerns about whether Department of Corrections staff could be trusted to accurately report suspicious deaths amid allegations of cover-ups.
Under the agreement, the depart-ment is supposed to notify the Law Enforcement Department so that
investigators can respond to the facil-ity while the scene is still intact.
But lawmakers noted parts of the agreement needed to be defined, including what the consequences are if prison officials don’t report the death and whether the Department of Law Enforcement, known by its acro-nym FDLE, should investigate all deaths, including those caused by lack of care.
Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Orange Park, said the two agencies now have a verbal agreement where FDLE will only investigate suspicious deaths.
“Isn’t one of the concerns whether DOC is properly describing the inci-dents as suspicious or non-suspi-cious?” he asked.
This fall, DOC officials fired near-ly 50 prison employees, including several over allegations that they punched and beat inmates.

Associated PressJACKSONVILLE — A pair
of conjoined twin boys are recovering from their second surgery at a Jacksonville hos-pital.
Doctors say Conner and Carter Mirabal will remain conjoined for the time being, and it may be several months before they need surgery again.
The twins were born Dec. 12 sharing an intestine. They had their first surgery when they were just hours old.
“They are doing wonderful on their own,” their mother, Miche l l e Brant l ey , sa id Monday. “We’re taking it day by day.”
Wolfson Children’s Hospital officials said that the boys are believed to be the first con-joined twins ever treated in Jacksonville.
The hospital’s chief of pedi-
atric surgery says the twins have separate hearts, livers and bile ducts, but the livers and bile ducts are fused. Dr. Daniel Robie says the twins need to be healthier and stron-ger before surgeons attempt to completely separate them.
“The good thing is that their hearts are separate,” Robie said. “That’s a huge positive.”
The twins no longer need a ventilator and should soon begin receiving nutrition and hydration orally instead of intravenously, said Josef Cortez, a neonatologist with UF College of Medicine.

Owners plan new animals at ZooWorldThe new owners of ZooWorld say they will bring new animals
and exhibits to the Florida Panhandle attraction.Kayte Wanko said she intends to upgrade the park’s facilities
and run ZooWorld as a family business. Wanko previously was the manager of the Gulf Breeze Zoo.
The 5.4-acre property in Panama City Beach was put up for sale last year with an assessed value of nearly $1.3 million. Wanko and Rhynettes LLC bought it from ZooWorld Inc. for $900,000.
ZooWorld originally opened in the mid-1980s as the “Snake-a-Torium.” According to filings with the Internal Revenue Service, ZooWorld posted a net loss of roughly $75,000 in 2013, with declines in admissions, sales and charitable contributions amid rising expenses.

Man attempts burglary carrying infantPolice say a man attempted a burglary while carrying his
5-month-old son.According to St. Petersburg Police, a homeowner found
22-year-old Corey Mathews outside his home Monday, holding a baby in a car carrier.
Police say that when Mathews spotted the homeowner, he alerted another suspect attempting to break into the home. The other suspect fled, and the homeowner called 911 as he followed Mathews.
Mathews allegedly threatened the homeowner with a knife. Police say Mathews was still carrying his son and the knife when officers caught up with him.
Mathews was held Tuesday on $15,000 bond on charges of residential burglary, aggravated assault, child neglect and vio-lation of probation. Pinellas County jail records didn’t show whether he had an attorney.
Police say Mathew’s mother took custody of the baby.

Florida AG won’t say if she’ll keep pushing gay marriage ban
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is not giving clear answers on whether she will keep up a legal battle over the state’s ban on gay marriage.
A federal judge ruled last year that Florida’s voter-approved ban is unconstitutional. Bondi’s office has appealed the ruling.
But U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle stayed the effect of his ruling until Jan. 5. Same sex couples have now started getting married throughout the state.

Bondi said she still wants the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the case and rule on whether state bans on gay marriage are legal. Bondi said she wants marriage laws to be uniform.
Scott sworn in to second term, focuses on jobsBy Gary Fineout
and Brendan FarrinGtonAssociated Press
TALLAHASSEE — Florida Gov. Rick Scott began his second term Tuesday with the same promise he made when he took office four years ago — to keep gov-ernment small, lower taxes and create jobs by making the state more business-friendly.
Scott was sworn in outside Florida’s Old Capitol two months after beating Republican-turned-Democrat former Gov. Charlie Crist with less than half the votes cast. He took credit for Florida’s recovery from the Great Recession and said he would continue to make the state a place that attracts businesses and new residents.
“You have heard me constantly talk about jobs since 2010 when I got into the race. I can promise you I’m not going to stop,” Scott said. “Jobs have been my focus my last four years. Jobs will be my mission the next four years.”
Cannons boomed outside the historic building after Scott took his oath in front of several hundred people. Scott told the crowd he achieved a 2010 campaign promise of creating 700,000 jobs in seven years. What he didn’t say was that he actually promised to create 700,000 jobs above the million jobs state economists said would be created regardless of who was governor.
Democratic Senate Leader Arthenia
Joyner noticed.“He didn’t talk about the fact that he
said he would create jobs in addition to the regular jobs that we get through growth,” said Joyner, who said she wished the governor also spoke about expanding Medicaid. “He said ‘talk is cheap,’ and he’s right and so is his. We have to make investments to turn talk into a reality.”
Scott said he plans to travel to states l ike California, New York, I l l i n o i s a n d Pennsylvania to encour-age people to move to Florida.
“We want you to keep more of your money because we understand it’s your money, it’s not ours . We want your businesses to grow and succeed. We want to compete globally and we want to win,” Scott said.
House Democratic Leader Mark Pafford said that while unemployment is down, people are still underpaid.
“They’re not able to save a dollar,” Pafford said. “They’re constantly hemor-rhaging those dollars that they earn just to eke out an existence in this state. We need to strive to be far better than that.”
Scott was first elected during a Republican wave in 2010 with the strong support of the tea party movement. He reached out to all Floridians as he began his second term.
“There are many things that we can come together on, and we should not let partisan politics, or any politics for that matter, get in our way,” Scott said.
Coincidentally, across the street from Scott’s inauguration gay couples were getting married at the Leon County Courthouse on the first day same-sex marriage was legal across Florida. Scott has opposed same-sex marriage, a fact that wasn’t lost on several dozen couples who were married at the courthouse Tuesday.
“It just shows the universe meant for this to happen,” said Ayana Powell after she married Rochelle Cornwall. “It’s karma.”
Texas Gov. Rick Perry and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie attended the inaugu-ration. Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam were also sworn in for their sec-ond terms.
“One of the things that I’ve learned about Rick Scott over time is he’s a very focused individual,” Christie said. “When he knows what he wants to do, he knows how to go after it. And he’s done that.”
At one point in his speech, Scott said Florida will pass Texas as the nation’s largest job creator. Perry pointed at Scott, smiled and shook his head.
This year’s inauguration was scaled back and lacked many of the frills, like a parade and a massive ball, that sur-rounded Scott’s 2011 swearing-in.

Palatka Mayor Terrill Hill was spot on Sunday with his call for local resi-dents to strengthen their
resolve, become unified and help him and his fellow elected officials take on the issues that challenge all of Putnam County in the years ahead.
I don’t know that I have ever lived anywhere with as many opportunities for growth and improvement in the quality of the lives of its residents – but less optimism about that future – than here in Putnam County.
We live in one of the most beautiful spots on God’s green Earth. We are centrally located to shipping ports, rail lines and Interstate high-ways. Each of our municipalities, as well as county offices, can brag of progressive and for-ward-thinking folks in leadership positions who share a common goal – to make the lives of the people who live here better.
Yet there is a persistent and useless pessi-mism just beneath the surface (or sometimes right out in the open) among some longtime residents (and some short-timers, too) that we’re going nowhere, we can’t do better and there’s no point in trying.
I don’t know that anyone has ever said that to me directly, but it is the gist of what I have gathered from literally hundreds of public and private conversations around the county over the past year.
That sentiment, in my own opinion, is utter, complete and total hogwash.
I sure hate to see people get beaten down, but some folks could use a good, old-fashioned dose of optimism for a change.
Problems? Sure, we have problems. Obstacles? Ditto. Challenges? Plenty.
Are any of these unsolvable? Not on your life.
That’s not to say the road ahead will be easy or short.
I agree with Mayor Hill that educational and recreational opportunities for all the young people of Putnam County have to be among the highest priorities. But it will take time and money to make progress.
I think our schools are wonderful on an indi-vidual basis, but let’s face facts. Unless we can move from the bottom of the pack to at least the middle, there are a number of folks who will not
want to relocate their families here. That’s not to knock our educators, it’s to acknowledge the effects of social and econom-ic conditions that cause so many of our young people to begin life behind the eight ball before they
even get started.I agree with county commissioner Chip
Laibl, who wants to promote a project to do something about the Shands Bridge to the north of us that blocks access via waterway for many types of vessels that might be built or operated out of Putnam County if not for this river obstacle.
Again, finding money and support for any project to deal with the Shands Bridge issue will be tough, but it’s not impossible.
I agree with local realtor Ben Bates, who has said more than once that a lack of more upscale housing hurts the county when it comes to attracting new residents. Again, not an easy or cheap problem to solve, but certain-ly not insurmountable.
Over at the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce, Dana Jones and her award-win-ning staff are doing all they can think of to pro-mote eco-tourism opportunities that will draw more visitors and put more dollars into the local economy.
I could go on and on, but you get my drift. We have issues, yes we do, but there are solu-tions and progress is both possible and proba-ble.
But only with a lot of hard work, prayer and persistence.
So let’s try losing some of the “gloom and doom” from our thinking in 2015, shall we?
Instead, we should all try to be more involved in tackling the problems that are on the table.
At a bare minimum, I believe we should seek out, encourage and support those who are working hard to make a difference here in Putnam County in 2015.
Together, as county commission chairman Karl Flagg constantly reminds us, there is no problem that cannot be resolved when people of good will and determination can come together in the spirit of unity.

Thanks,first
responders We, and many others, extend
our thanks to those men and women who are first on the scene whenever there’s an
emergency.Gov. Rick Scott has proclaimed Monday
through Friday this week as Florida First Responder Appreciation Week. Scott says it’s time we formally recognize those who often put their lives on the line to help preserve life and property for the rest of us.
In his proclamation, Scott referred spe-cifically to two police officers who died in the line of duty. Leon County Sheriff ’s Deputy Christopher Smith was ambushed and killed while responding to a report of a house fire. Tarpon Springs Officer Charles Kondek was shot and struck by the vehicle of a man fleeing from him.
Police officers and deputies never know when a routine traffic stop or domestic violence call will turn into something much more deadly. Firefighters, profes-sional and volunteer alike, stand ready to challenge smoke and flames to rescue persons and even pets from burning buildings and to protect home and prop-erty from wildfires. Paramedics and emergency medical technicians are often called to stand alongside both, as well as rush accident and illness victims to the hospital.
Florida is no stranger to natural disas-ters including hurricanes, tornadoes and floods, and all first responders maintain a constant state of readiness to deal with them.
All face the constant threat of death, injury and debilitating stress in the ordi-nary performance of their duties – some-thing they don’t take lightly, and neither should we, especially when our elected officials consider matters of salary, bene-fits and retirement.
This week is as good a time as any for everyone to go out of their way to thank a first responder, including Putnam County Sheriff ’s deputies, municipal police officers, municipal and county fire-fighters, EMTs and paramedics, and don’t forget our Florida Highway Patrol offi-cers, and forestry and game and fish offi-cers. They’re all watching out for us.
Thanks for your service, first respond-ers.

No problems in Putnam that cannot be solved

4A PALATKA DAILY NEWS • WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7 , 2015
Ahhhh ... 2015. Nobody knows for certain what
the new year will hold. That’s probably for the best – if we did know what was going to happen this year, we might be less inclined to even follow through on all those resolutions we’ve made. Like you, I too just have to be patient and hope for better days ahead.
As Americans, we can safely predict that many of the problems that afflicted us in 2014 will still be with us in the coming year, if only because many of them – like disease – have afflicted human-kind for all of recorded history.
In the U.S., we’ve had only two fatalities from the Ebola virus, but Ebola continues to rampage in Africa, and no place will be safe until it’s brought under control everywhere. Progress in 2015 can happen if we put the same vigor into fighting Ebola where it origi-nates that we put into stopping it from gaining a foothold here.
Another easily predictable and sad constant in our world is war, and 2015 promises to undoubted-ly see the continuation of two of America’s most intractable con-flicts. In 2014, the end of our 13-year war in Afghanistan was announced. But as we learned in Iraq, the fighting often continues after the war is declared over. With the rise of ISIS, Iraq is now in as much turmoil as it has been at any time since the U.S. inva-sion. The next year will undoubt-
edly see not only a fight with ISIS, but also a fight at home over how to fight ISIS.
On a happier international note, 2014 finally saw a thaw in relations between the U.S. and Cuba, so 2015 will be a year of reconciliation and renewal for many long-separated families.
We know for certain that 2015 will see several very significant anniversaries. Some of these deal with the complicated history of race relations in the United States, just at a time when our problems in that area are very evident. But, then, that’s hardly a coincidence, since problems with race relations are constantly part of our lives in America. And if those problems are not always evident to all people, that merely highlights the problem.
August 2015 will see the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Katrina taught us that Mother Nature may treat all of us the same, but the poor and disen-franchised get much worse treat-ment when it comes to allocating resources to repair the ravages of nature.
The 50th anniversary of one of the most iconic rights marches of all time arrives in March with the
commemoration of 1965’s Selma-to-Montgomery march for voting rights. On March 7, 1965, 600 vot-ing-rights marchers were brutally attacked by police using billy clubs and tear gas in what came to be known as Bloody Sunday.
And we can all hope that the economy continues to improve. Chances for that look good, as most economic forecasters predict a rosy 2015, fueled by increasing employment, low interest rates and low energy prices. If the pre-dictions hold true, then 2015 could well see us transition from a recovering economy to a truly healthy one.
One thing that could help that happen are the increases in the minimum wage that are set to take place in 20 states this month. That will help not only the 4.4 million people who will receive wage increases, but all of us, as the spending money put into the pockets of minimum-wage work-ers helps drive the economy as whole.
There’s so much more to look forward to, including many annu-al occurrences -- a Super Bowl winner, a new batch of Oscar win-ners, the women’s World Cup. And, of course, there’s another royal baby due in April 2015.

F Y IMany of us like to buy suet balls or birdseed encapsu-
lated in mesh bags, which helps keep the birdseed togeth-er when you hang it outside. While our feathered friends can get a healthy meal or snack from these, there is also a chance they can get entangled in the mesh. When the suet or bird food gets low, it creates air pockets around the mesh bag. This can lead to birds digging deeper into the bag, which can lead to their legs and beaks getting trapped and entangled. Stick with traditional methods that involve loose feed instead.
Despite the ecological lessons we’ve learned about plas-tic bottled water, it’s still growing in popularity, with sales skyrocketing across the country. Only a small per-centage of plastic bottles are actually recycled, and it’s not necessarily better for you to drink bottled water, either. If you’re unsure about making the switch to drink-ing filtered tap water, maybe this other green fact will change your mind: You’ll save about $1,400 a year by ditching bottled water. Move to tap water, and you’ll spend less than $1 for the whole year’s worth of drinking water. Make 2015 the year to go bottleless.

WASHINGTON — It was a good day to be the new guy.
Freshly elected lawmakers, mostly Republican, arrived early and eager Tuesday amid a light snow, showing off the majestic Capitol to their chil-dren and posing for cellphone photos. In contrast, returning House Speaker John Boehner had to fend off a revolt within
his ranks, and veteran Senate Democrats endured the formal draining away of their party’s power.
Outgoing Senate leader Harry Reid was having such a bad day that he didn’t show up at all.
Instead, Reid tweeted a video of himself, noting he was “working from home on doc-tor’s orders.” Reid broke three ribs plus bones in his face in a fall on New Year’s Day — an
accident that could be meta-phor for the battering his party took in November’s elec-tion. In the video, a bandage slashed across Reid’s face and
covered his right eye.“He’s pretty banged up,”

Flor ida Department of Corrections Records show Coleman was released from prison on Nov. 11, 2009. He spent almost 29 months incar-cerated for burglary and assault on a person.

Vacationing Assistant State Attorney Hillaree Miller pros-ecuted Coleman. She returned to court Monday to take part in the sentencing. A State Attorney’s Office clerk said Miller could not be reached for comment after the hearing.

District residents had. After looking at the economics, we d e c i d e d t h a t p r o b a b l y wouldn’t be a feasible solu-tion.”
S o u t h H i s t o r i c Neighborhood Association president Michael Gagnon
told PHA commissioners that the association has been work-ing to build a better tax base in the neighborhood by reha-bilitating several homes over the last few years. Building housing authority units would take the Laurel Street proper-ties off the tax roll.
While the PHA pays the city in lieu of taxes, SHD residents also argued that multifamily units would not be compatible with the single-family homes
in the district.The new letter of under-
standing states that the units constructed in the next year should “be detached, single-family structures, stand-alone units rather than multifamily units” and “no more than two of said units shall be con-structed within a radius of 300 feet of each other or of any other existing or proposed public housing unit.”
Three of the city commis-
sioners will vote on the plans for the first time Thursday. Czymbor said new Palatka M a y o r T e r r i l l H i l l w a s involved with the discussions resulting in the new letter of understanding.

couples and not just the Washington County couple that originally filed suit.
Bryan said that based on the calls the records office has received, the number of same-sex couples who applied for marriage licenses on Tuesday met her expectations.
Since the records depart-ment began performing mar-
riages in March 2013, Bryan said, it has issued an average of three marriage licenses per day.
While there might be more than the average number of marriage licenses issued in the next few weeks, same-sex marriage numbers will proba-bly match the number of oppo-site-sex marriages.
“We’ve actually done up to eight marriage licenses in one day; that was a lot for us,” Bryan said. “I think it’ll be like any other couple. I think there will be seasons where
there will be more couples than normal.”
Officials from the American Civi l Libert ies Union o f Florida issued a statement on Tuesday recognizing the mag-nitude of the same-sex mar-riage ban ending.
Daniel Tilley, an attorney for the organization, said that while same-sex couples have been together for years and have even had commitment ceremonies, it means even more to finally be allowed to legally marry.
“Today is a day for cele-
b r a t i o n t h r o u g h o u t Florida,” Til ley said in a statement. “Many Florida couples have waited years – in some cases decades – for the chance to marry the per-son they love and have that marriage recognized by the state they call home. Now that Florida has become the 3 6 t h m a r r i a g e e q u a l i t y s tate , those couples can finally access the protec-tions and dignity that come with marriage.”

California breaks ground on bullet trainCalifornia broke ground Tuesday on its long-sought high-
speed rail system, promising to combat global warming while whisking travelers between Los Angeles and San Francisco in less than three hours.
The $68 billion project faces challenges from Republican cost-cutters in Congress and Central Valley farmers suing to keep the rails off their fields. Others doubt the state can deliver the sleek project as promised, and worry it will become an expen-sive failure.
But Gov. Jerry Brown said high-speed rail is essential to meeting his latest goal: Encouraging the nation’s most popu-lous state to get half its power from renewable energy by 2030.

Ex-Gov. Bob McDonnell gets 2 yearsFamily members and friends wept softly as former Virginia
Gov. Bob McDonnell told the judge at his sentencing hearing that he couldn’t “fathom any deeper humiliation” for taking bribes from a wealthy businessman to promote a dietary sup-plement.
Then, the tears mostly stopped. Some even turned to smiles when the judge sentenced McDonnell to two years in prison — far below the 10 years prosecutors originally wanted for the Republican, who was once on the short list to be Mitt Romney’s vice presidential running mate.
McDonnell, who held his head in his hands and sobbed when he was convicted in September on 11 counts of corruption, was stoic as U.S. District Judge James Spencer delivered the sentence in a courtroom packed with the former governor’s supporters.

Reward in shooting of parents, baby’s deathLos Angeles County supervisors offered a $25,000 reward
Tuesday to help catch an attacker who shot and wounded three members of a family and kidnapped a 3-week-old girl who was later found dead in a trash bin near the Mexican border.
The award for information leading to a capture and conviction comes a day after police said they had no leads and no motive for the Saturday attack in Long Beach that wounded the parents and uncle of Eliza Delacruz.
Jury’s makeup seen as critical in Boston Marathon caseBy Denise Lavoie
Associated Press
BOSTON — To try to save him from the death penalty in the Boston Marathon bombing, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers will probably look for jurors who are intellectually curious and eager to learn about other cultures and religions.
Prosecutors, in turn, will no doubt try to pick conservative, patriotic types who have steady work habits, have lived com-fortable lives and are particularly sensi-tive to the randomness of the terror attack.
Such is the conventional wisdom among jury consultants and other legal experts who say the question of whether Tsarnaev receives a death sentence will be all but decided during jury selection.
Tsarnaev, 21, is accused of taking part in the twin bombing at the finish line of the race on April 15, 2013, killing three people and wounding more than 260. He
is also charged in the slaying of an MIT police officer.
Prosecutors say Dzhokhar and his brother, Tamerlan — ethnic Chechens who had lived in the United States for about a decade — carried out the attack in retaliation for U.S. wars in Muslim countries. Tamerlan, 26, died in a gun-battle with police days after the bombing.
Given the evidence against Dzhokhar — including incriminating graffiti on the boat where he was captured, and video of him planting a backpack at the site of the one of the blasts — legal experts say there is little doubt he will be found guilty.
They say his lawyers are concentrating instead on saving him from a death sen-tence from the jury during the penalty phase. They are expected to argue that Tsarnaev had a difficult childhood and fell under the malignant influence of his older brother, who embraced a radical brand of Islam.
“Any time the death penalty is on the table, the defense is going to want people who will look past the crime and try to understand why. Not just what hap-pened, but how could this happen and why did this happen, what was the ratio-nale?” said Karen Fleming-Ginn, a jury consultant who worked for prosecutors in the trial of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and has supplied her expertise to defense attorneys in 60 other capital cases.
Fleming-Ginn said the defense will look for jurors who are naturally curious, like to travel and want to learn about the world.
“Typically, these are people who are educated, they can see shades of gray a little bit better, they are not going to be black and white, they might have more of a sense of mercy,” she said.
The government is likely to seek out jurors who have lived life on the straight and narrow.

Why‘all-star’playoff
officials?
A flag flies. Dallas fans groan. Detroit fans rejoice.
Then the yellow cloth thrown for defensive pass
interference is picked up by the game officials. No penalty is marked off.
Lions coach Jim Caldwell and quarterback Matthew Stafford are ticked. Game broadcasters are puz-zled. Fans are befuddled.
And that one call/non-call becomes the focal point of wild-card weekend.
Unfortunately, NFL officiating crews have been in the spotlight far too often this season. The latest inci-dent brings up two significant ques-tions:
n Was there a lack of communica-tion with a public that clamors for information — and deserves it?
n Why would the NFL use “all-star” crews in its most important games, virtually eliminating the cohesion that helps officials during the regular season?
Dean Blandino, the NFL’s officiat-ing chief, has some answers. They’re not likely to placate many.
Blandino told The Associated Press on Monday that referee Pete Morelli erred in originally announc-ing an interference call on Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens before discussing it with the back judge who made the call, and with other members of the crew. The head linesman, who was closer to the play, then “gave more information, and that from his perspective it was not enough contact (for pass inter-ference) and that there was not enough contact that restricted the receiver (Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew).”
“The mechanics we would prefer are that the conversation occurs before the initial announcement,” Blandino said, “so there is one announcement and no confusion if a foul was committed or not.”
Morelli made a second announce-ment saying there would be no pen-alty. Blandino believes Fox TV viewers missed that call because, at the time Morelli was speaking, announcers Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were talking to Fox officiat-ing commentator and former NFL director of officials Mike Pereira.
“I don’t think there was any idea what was happening on the field, and the second announcement just got lost,” Blandino said.
Morelli’s announcement could be heard on an audio review of Fox’s broadcast, but the announcers also were discussing the play. So the viewing audience couldn’t be sure what happened, only that flag had been picked up.
Even more of an issue, though, is the process for selecting officials for postseason games.
As part of the labor agreement between the league and the officials’ union in 2012, the officials bar-gained for and received an individu-al-based assignment system. It will remain in effect until after next sea-son, when Blandino believes it will be revisited.
The evaluation system has changed through the years. For many seasons, until 2004, full crews with the highest ratings for the reg-ular season would earn playoff assignments. That changed to a hybrid system in ’04 that allowed for eliminating lower-rated officials on some crews from working the play-offs.
Moving to the current “all-star” approach allows for officials rated highest at each position by supervi-sors to get the premium assign-ments. But it robs the crews work-ing the critical January/February games of the continuity developed through a full preseason and regular season.
That seemed to hurt Morelli’s bunch Sunday; although four of the officials at the Detroit-Dallas wild-card game had worked together pre-viously, none had been with Morelli in 2014.
All assignments are based on those performance charts, with the only requirement under the current CBA being that officials in their first two years in the league don’t get on-field work in the playoffs.

One tall order for Hall of FameAt 6-10, Johnson in class including Martinez, Smoltz and Biggio
By Ronald BlumAssociated Press
NEW YORK — Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz dominated in an era of offense, each in their own way.
The 6-foot-10 Big Unit became the tallest of 215 players elected to base-ball’s Hall of Fame and the 5-foot-11 Martinez the shortest pitcher picked for Cooperstown since Whitey Ford in 1974.
Smoltz, who found unusual success both as a starting pitcher and a reliev-er, also was voted in Tuesday along with Craig Biggio, the first time since 1955 writers picked a quartet of play-ers in one year.
For many, the election of Johnson and Martinez was the long and short of it.
“You’re talking about freakish tal-ent,” Smoltz said. “I’ve never seen at each person’s height anybody come close to what they were able to do.”
Johnson, Martinez and Smoltz were crowned by big margins on their first tries, the first trio of pitchers voted in together by the writers. Biggio made it on his third attempt after falling two votes shy last year.
Steroids-tainted stars Roger
Clemens, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa again fell far short of half of the votes and appear to have little chance of reach-ing the necessary 75 percent during their remaining time on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America bal-lot.
“It’s actually sad, to be honest. It’s sad,” Martinez said. “People I admired are not going in with me.”
The quartet will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 26. The BBWAA had not voted in four players together since selecting Joe DiMaggio, Gabby Hartnett, Ted Lyons and Dazzy Vance 60 years earlier.
A five-time Cy Young Award win-ner with 303 victories and 4,875 strikeouts, Johnson was selected on
534 of 549 ballots by BBWAA mem-bers who have been with the organi-zation for 10 consecutive years at any point. The left-hander appeared on 97.3 percent of the ballots, the eighth-highest mark in the history of voting.
Outfielder Dave Winfield (6-foot-6), elected in 2001, had been the tallest Hall of Famer, according to STATS.
“I don’t think people quite under-stand how difficult it is to be 6-foot-10 and be throwing a ball 60 feet, 6 inches away,” Johnson said. “In order to do that, you have to consistent with your release point and where you’re landing and your arm slot and all that. For someone 6-1, 6-2, there’s less body to keep under control, so it’s a lot easier.”

Pictured battling for the ball during the Jarvis Williams Holiday Tournament win over Lakeland Tenoroc, Palatka’s Datavian Thomas scored a team-high 23 points Tuesday night at Clay.
A couple of players who haven’t been around the Municipal Course much lately showed they still have a lot of game
wi th s trong showings at the S u p e r i n t e n d e n t ’ s R e v e n g e Tournament.
Winning it all going away was Allan Anderson. A former resident of Palatka, Anderson and his 21 shots paid a Jan. 1 visit to the course for the annual event that features deadly pin placements and Bloody Marys.
When the dust settled, Anderson had carded a net 60, his 10-under-par effort three shots better than runner-up Billy Crews . Like Anderson, Crews’ appearances at the MC of late have been infrequent. But that apparently has not held back his game.
Tied for third at net 64 were Clint Dixon, Keith Fleetwood and Terry
Murray.Rounding out the
top five was former Muni assistant pro Jared Dollar, who shot 65. Jim Santo (No. 6) and Kyle
Coleman (No. 12) were the closest to the pin champs.
This year’s event attracted 50 golf-ers…

By Tim ReynoldsAssociated Press
CORAL GABLES – The day after Miami’s bowl loss, Hurricanes coach Al Go lden was a l ready speaking in past tense when refer-ring to the 2014 season.
Clearly, Miami can’t start a new chapter quickly enough.
Calling the current air around the program negative would be an understatement. There’s a con-stant stream of tweets demanding firings, the mother of NFL-bound running back Duke Johnson caused a s t i r over a qu ick ly de le ted Facebook comment suggesting some current players want to transfer, and that’s after Miami finished 6-7 — its third losing record in 35 seasons.
But Golden, in an interview with The Associated Press, insists he sees reason for hope in 2015.
“There’s so many different areas that we can improve on,” Golden said. “From a leadership stand-point, we need to keep building our unity in all three phases and make sure the team understands how it’s all interconnected. We can all improve, don’t make any excuses, be accountable, not be afraid to hold each other accountable and keep doing all the little things right.”
If social media is any indication, f a n s a r e n ’ t h a p p y a n d t h e i r patience has run out.
The Hurricanes haven’t won a national championship in 13 sea-sons, after winning five in the pre-vious 19. Miami hasn’t won a bowl since 2006, while 100 other pro-grams have won at least one. And while the Hurricanes could have g o n e t o t h e A t l a n t i c C o a s t Conference championship game in 2012 but declined because of self-i m p o s e d s a n c t i o n s , t h e f a c t remains that Miami has never won a title since moving to the ACC.
“Al knows we have to get better,” Miami athlet ic director Blake James said last month. “That’s the expectation of the University of Miami football program.”
The school is standing by Golden, even after this season ended with a four-game losing streak — starting when the Hurricanes blew a late lead against Florida State. Losses to Virginia and Pittsburgh fol-lowed, as did a three-point defeat t o S o u t h C a r o l i n a i n t h e Independence Bowl.

again be the game for the upcoming Super Bowl Scramble. Set for Sunday, Feb. 1 this event typically attracts a large field of competitors anxious to get Super Bowl Sunday off to a flying start.
Cost is $50, with $15 of that ear-marked for the skins game. To keep things real, threesomes will be paired with another threesome in the fray.
Play is required before 11 a.m. and with a fellow competitor. Cost is $35.
The 2014 champs were the father/son combo of Miles and Tyler Anderson, and John Salmons, whose 10 strokes and solid play paved the way to their win. When all was done the champs carded a net 53.2 (64 gross)…
Azaleas are coming. Won’t be long before local hotels and eateries will be crammed with out-of-town golfers, here to take part in a couple of the Municipal Course’s biggest events.
We’re talking about the Senior and
Florida Azalea Amateur tournaments.Set for March 13-15, the Senior
Azalea will assuredly again lure the top senior amateur talent from one end of the country to the next.
Defending champ is none other than the tournament’s originator and annu-al organizer, Ronnie Tumlin. Tumlin fired rounds of 71-68-69—208 and then held off Doug LaCrosse in sud-den death. Tumlin is a six time Florida Azalea Champ as well.
The next week – March 20-22 – a field of over 200 will fill the local course to play in the 59th running of
the Florida Azalea Open.Format is individual stroke play,
with competitors placed in one of six flights. Most of the attention will be focused on the 100-plus player Championship Flight, which always brings in a gang of limber backs in search of coveted points for their ama-teur standings.
Last year it was Norwegian Andreas Halvorsen shooting 67-65-73 to take it all, and in the process giv-ing the 17 year old the distinction of being the youngest ever to win the long running tournament. Sharing the
distinction of youngest to win the Azalea prior to Halvorsen were Ronnie Tumlin and Peter Uihlein...

Russell had seven points and four steals and Rufus Ray provided seven points.
n Denzel Houston scored 23 points, Marcus Brunson added 14 points and Alxeander Fritch scored all 10 of his points to start the game as host Daytona Beach Mainland handed Crescent City a 65-48 loss.
Max Jackson and Laron Fells had 13 points each and Kenton Bibbs
put in 11 points for the Raiders (10-4), who travel to Interlachen to face the Rams on Thursday.
They host perennial power Melbourne Florida Air Academy at 5 p.m. Saturday, when all first responders in Putnam County will get into the game for free and be honored in a ceremony at halftime, according to Crescent City athletic director Will Dettor.
GIRLS BASKETBALLn Interlachen was made to pay
for poor shooting and three techni-cal fouls in a 55-51 home loss to
District 5-4A rival Bradford.The Rams (8-10, 3-4) shot just 28
percent from the floor and made only 10 of 26 free throws, though the latter figure was better than the Tornadoes’ 7 of 26. In addition to the three technical fouls, Interlachen was whistled for 21 personals and had two players foul out.
Angie Matthews scored a team-high 20 points, hitting five three-pointers for Interlachen; she also had five rebounds, five steals and an assist. Jayda Perez was next with 10 points. Teirn’ee Simmons
had nine points, seven rebounds, three steals and an assist for IHS. Kalynne Jonas had seven points, five rebounds, two steals and three assists.
Nyasia Davis scored 26 points for Bradford (6-10, 4-2).
n Visiting St. Joseph outscored Crescent City in every quarter of a 48-16 contest.
Tazariah Johnson scored eight points for the Raiders (3-10), in action for the first time since Dec. 18. Rakeya Harris and Keyaudra Wil l iams each grabbed s ix rebounds.

A three-time Cy Young winner with flamboyance to go along with his fastball, Martinez appeared on 500 ballots (91.1 percent). He was 219-100, struck out 3,154, led the major leagues in ERA five times and in 2004 helped the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series title in 86 years.
M a r t i n e z f o l l o w e d J u a n Marichal (1983) as the second Dominican Hall of Famer. Eleven inches shorter than Johnson, Martinez pitched with exceptional intensity.
“My body would change half an
hour before the game, and I would just become this serious, focused person because my dad reminded me you’ve got to be serious about your job,” Martinez recalled. “I saw everybody as an enemy, and I saw everybody as like in a jungle: You just kill to survive. And that’s the intensity and the focus I had to keep to do it every day on a day-to-day basis. And that’s the kind of chip on the shoulder that people thought I had, even though that was my way to concentrate and do the day to day things that I did in baseball.”
Smoltz was on 455 ballots (82.9 percent). The 1996 NL Cy Young winner was 213-155 with 154 saves, the only pitcher with 200 wins and 150 saves. He went 15-4
in the postseason during a 21-year career that included 3 1/2 seasons in the bullpen when he returned slowly following elbow surgery that sidelined him for the 2000 season.
He combined with Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine to form a starting rotation that was the primary fac-tor in Atlanta’s record 14 consecu-tive playoff appearances. Now Smoltz will join the pair in the Hall following their inductions last July.
“The three of us share such a unique bond that I don’t think any-one really feels any different than the other person, although I can tell you that I’m not in their class when it talks about the numbers that they put up,” Smoltz said. “But I’m probably not in anyone’s
class because of the strangeness of my career and the uniqueness of what I did.”
Biggio appeared on 454 ballots, 42 more than needed and up from 68.2 percent in his first appearance and 74.8 percent last year. A catch-er who shifted to second base and spent three seasons in the outfield, he had 3,060 hits and 668 doubles in 20 big league seasons, all with the Houston Astros.
“I was a nervous dog this morn-ing. I haven’t been this anxious in a long time,” Biggio said. “Maybe it does mean a little bit more this year.”
Mike Piazza fell 28 votes short but increased his percentage to 69.9 from 57.8 in 2013 and 62.2 last year.

“I look at both systems and there are pros and cons to both systems,” Blandino said. “You want your best officials in the postseason; obviously you have to win as a team in the regular season to get into the postseason. I think the individual system has merit, but I can’t sit here and say having the full crew who worked together all season, there’s not a benefit there.
“Maybe there is a middle ground where we can get the benefits of the crew continuity and the highest-rated officials.”
Regardless, there will always be a clamor about officiating, no matter the sport. There will be Lions fans screaming why helmetless Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant wasn’t disciplined for being on the field yelling at officials to pick up the flag. Blandino said there is no automatic penalty given to a player not in the game who has his helmet off, and that officials used their “discretion” in escort-ing Bryant back to the sideline.
And there will be Dallas fans — or followers of any team — loudly supporting the officials. But only when the calls go their way.

Seminole CB Williams going proTALLAHASSEE — Florida State cornerback
P.J. Williams says he plans to declare for the NFL draft.
The 6-foot , 196-pound junior made the announcement on his Twitter account Tuesday.
Williams was honored as the defensive MVP of last year’s BCS national championship game after his fourth-quarter interception helped the Seminoles rally to win the title. He finished the 2014 season with 74 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, one sack and one interception.
Gators part with DT WillisGAINESVILLE — Florida has parted ways with
defensive tackle Gerald Willis.The University Athletic Association announced
Tuesday that Willis, a 6-foot-2 sophomore from New Orleans, will transfer. Willis will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Willis made headlines for all the wrong reasons this season. He missed the first two games for undis-closed reasons and got into a fight with quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg in October over a pair of cleats.
He was kicked off the sideline at Florida State in November after taking a cheap shot on quarterback Jameis Winston out of bounds. Fired coach Will Muschamp said after the game that if he remained, he would kick Willis off the team.
Willis played in the Birmingham Bowl and forced a fumble at the goal line in a 28-20 win over East Carolina.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
FSU downs Virginia TechTALLAHASSEE — Xavier Rathan-Mayes
scored 18 of his 22 points in the first half as Florida State pulled ahead early and never looked back, beating Virginia Tech 86-75 on Tuesday.
Devon Bookert had 16 points for the Seminoles, who shot 19 of 26 (73.1 percent) in the first half and made 7 of 10 3-pointers.
Robbie Berwick, a freshman averaging 2.6 points coming into the game, had a season-high 13 points for FSU (9-6, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference).
Florida State jumped out to a 53-45 lead at half-time and was in control the rest of the way. Virginia Tech cut the lead to 70-63 with 6:44 to go on a dunk by Satchel Pierce, but that was the clos-est the Hokies would come.
Kentucky survives upset scareLEXINGTON, Ky. — Aaron Harrison scored 26
points, including two big free throws with 1:29 remaining in overtime to put Kentucky ahead to stay, and the top-ranked Wildcats withstood three final Mississippi attempts to rally before escaping with an 89-86 victory Tuesday night.
Overwhelming favorites against a Mississippi squad they had beaten 102 times in 115 previous meetings, the Wildcats (14-0, 1-0 SEC) instead survived a back-and-forth battle with the deter-mined Rebels in their Southeastern Conference opener. Especially in OT, as missed free throws down the stretch gave the Rebels chances to either go ahead or tie the game.
Mississippi couldn’t take advantage as LaDarius White missed on one possession and the Rebels (9-5, 0-1) lost the ball out of bounds on the next. The Rebels had one last opportunity after Trey Lyles missed two free throws with 15.4 seconds left, but Martavious Newby’s 3-pointer bounced high and was grabbed by Willie Cauley-Stein to keep Kentucky unbeaten.

ADDITIONAL TAX DEEDS
Without regard for the pub-lic’s right and need toknow, Putnam County con-tinues to pay for half of taxdeed sales notices to bepublished in the DailyNews and pay for the otherhalf to be published inCrescent City’s weeklynewspaper. As a result ofthis legal but flawed sys-tem, many notices have notappeared in the neighbor-hood where the at-riskproperty is located.

Associated Press
BAGHDAD — A suicide blast targeting Iraqi security forces and subsequent clashes with Islamic State extremists on Tuesday killed at least 23 troops and pro-government Sunni fighters in the country’s embattled western province of Anbar, officials said.
The day’s heavy toll for the Iraqi forces came as they strug-gle in battles against the Islamic State group and try to claw back territory lost to the extremists during the militants’ blitz last year. Iraq’s prime minister vowed on Tuesday to dislodge IS militants from all areas under their control.
Police officials said a suicide bomber first struck a gather-ing of pro-government Sunni fighters near the town of al-Baghdadi, about 110 miles northwest of Baghdad, in the morning hours.
Soon after, IS militants attacked nearby army and police positions, setting off hours-long clashes. Police and hospital officials said 23 were killed and 28 were wounded in all on the government side. They did not give the death toll on the militants’ side, say-ing only that the attackers “sustained some casualties” and declining to provide fur-ther details. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not autho-rized to speak to the media.
In Baghdad, Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi pledged that Iraq’s forces would retake all areas that fell to IS during last summer’s stunning blitz.
“We will emerge as victori-ous and the day our lands are liberated is nearing,” al-Abadi
told a group of newly-graduat-ed army officers, speaking at the Military Academy as Iraq marked Army Day. “Our goal … is that peace and prosperity prevail in Iraq and end this dark period in Iraqi history.”
A parade was also staged to mark the day, complete with jet fighters, helicopters and trans-port planes flying overhead.
Meanwhile, the Islamic State group announced killing eight men in Salahuddin prov-ince north of Baghdad for allegedly cooperating with gov-ernment forces and airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition target-ing the militant group.
The group posted photo-graphs showing eight blind-folded and bearded men in orange jumpsuits, their hands tied behind their backs. Five were identified as police offi-cers and two as informants, but no information was pro-vided on the eighth victim. The photos show the men by a riverbank next to masked gunmen, under what looks like a bridge. They are on their knees as the gunmen appear to be readying to shoot them. Other photos show bloodied bodies of seven of the men, lying on the ground.
The Islamic State group
provided no details on the pur-ported killings. The authentic-ity of the photos could not be independently verified but they were posted late Monday on a Twitter account frequent-ly used by the militant group.
However, a provincial offi-cial, who spoke on condition of anonymity fearing for his safety, offered a different account on the photos, saying Tuesday that the men depict-ed in the images were army officers who had abandoned the military before the mili-tants’ takeover of their area last year. The official said the men did not cooperate with Iraqi government forces.
The Salahuddin provincial capital, Tikrit, and other near-by towns have been in militant hands since June, when the Islamic State group expanded with lightning speed across
Sunni-dominated regions of northern and western Iraq as government forces collapsed.
Since then, the IS group has declared a self-styled caliph-ate over about a third of Iraq and neighboring Syria. But there has been growing resentment among some resi-dents fueled by the militant group’s enforcement of its extremist interpretation of Islamic law, economic stagna-tion and a lack of public ser-vices.
Seeking to squash any potential uprising, the mili-tants have started killing policemen and soldiers living in areas of Iraq under their control — especially after the U.S.-led coalition air cam-pa ign began suppor t ing ground offensives by Iraqi government forces, Kurdish fighters and Shiite militias.

Death Notices
Mortgages soar as ruble slidesBy irina TiTova
Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — When they took out a mort-gage on a small two-room apartment seven years ago, Oksana Li and her husband hoped to make a new home for themselves and their young son.
Now, l ike thousands of other Russians, they are see-ing that dream unravel as they are unable to make pay-ments — even by working lon-ger hours and a second job.
That’s because they are part of a minority of Russians who took out mortgages denomi-nated in a foreign currency to take advantage of lower inter-est rates abroad. As Russia’s currency collapsed in recent months, the cost of repaying those mortgages has gone through the roof.
“In November, we gathered my entire monthly salary and that of my husband and took it to the bank, but the sum was still not enough to cover the new monthly payment,” said Li, a 35-year-old office manag-er whose mortgage is in Swiss francs.
When the Li family took out their mortgage in 2008, their monthly payment was equiva-lent to 38,000 rubles. By the end of 2014, it was 129,000 rubles.
Taking mortgages in a for-eign currency was an accepted practice in countries like
Russia before 2008. The bor-rower gained by enjoying the interest rates of the country whose currency the loan was denominated in. Switzerland’s main interest rate, for exam-ple, is now near zero, while Russia’s is at 17 percent.
But the benefits of the cheaper rates come at the risk of fluctuations in the curren-cy. In the case of Li, her monthly payments have more than doubled as the ruble fell by half since last year.
The percentage of Russian mortgages that are currently denominated in dollars, euros or other foreign currencies is only about 3.5 percent, accord-ing to banking analysts. But that is still tens of thousands of mortgages.
The All-Russia Mortgage Borrowers Community, which was founded on a social net-working site in late November, claims that at least 250,000 people live in homes covered by foreign-currency mortgages.
Selling the property is not a solution. Since the homes are based in Russia, they would be sold in rubles, whereas the debt remains in a foreign cur-rency. That leaves the mort-gage holders in so-called nega-tive equity.
“Many people find them-selves in a situation where the price of the apartment does not cover all of the debt,” said Yuri Yufyakov, a real estate agent in Moscow.
Li said that if they do not
cover their mortgage pay-ments for three months, the bank can take their apart-ment back.
She said that’s all the more difficult to stomach because of the sacrifices she and her hus-band had made to hold onto the apartment.
“We pinched and saved, for-going vacations, sick leaves and any nights out,” she said. “I personally worked 12 hours a day and my husband had two jobs.” She lamented that they had not spent enough time with their son, now 12.
Li was among about a dozen people who held a picket on a r e c e n t S u n d a y i n S t . Petersburg. To avoid possible police detention, they stood one at a time in the cold.
On the same day in Moscow, where the protest was sanc-tioned, as many as 2,000 peo-ple joined the rally.
Sergei Ignatyev, coordinator of the group of mortgage hold-ers in St. Petersburg, said they are demanding that banks con-vert the mortgages to rubles at the rate as of Jan. 1, 2014, when the Russian currency was trading at about 32 to the dol-lar. The ruble on Tuesday was trading at 63 to the dollar after hitting 80 in mid-December.
Russia’s energy-dependent economy has suffered a severe shock over the past few months, largely because oil prices have tanked. Western sanct ions over Moscow’s course on Ukraine also have
had a negative effect, particu-larly on the banks.
Ignatyev said the banks would be unable to solve the problem unless the Russian Central Bank gets involved. The Central Bank, while insisting it has no right to interfere, issued a statement in December saying it would be in the interests of both the banks and their customers to restructure the mortgages and convert them into rubles at a “reasonable rate.”
The protests appear to have gotten the government ’s attention. Russia’s parliament is expected to take up legisla-tion to address the situation when the long New Year and Orthodox Christmas holidays end on Monday.
Some mortgage holders decided not to wait and have managed to convert their debts from foreign currency into rubles, albeit at unfavor-able rates.
S t . Pe te rsburg coup le Dmitry Dervenyov, 50, and his wife Svetlana Suvorova, 32 , reached an agreement with their bank in December to convert their 15-year, dol-lar-denominated mortgage into rubles at a rate that still doubles their payment com-pared with the start of 2014. On the plus side, they are pro-tec ted f rom any further increases and can plan ahead.
“At least now we have hope that we will not lose the apart-ment,” Suvorova said.

HOROSCOPE
Sticking to the status quo will not enable you to move forward. Changes are necessary, but stay-ing in control will also weigh heavily on your shoulders. Falling in with someone else’s plans will lead to a professional competition that doesn’t bode well. Do your own thing.
CAPRICORN(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Don’t upset friends or family by neglecting to nurture impor-tant relationships. Take time out of your busy schedule to listen to and make plans with the people who mean the most to you.
AQUARIUS(Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
A professional partnership will bring financial rewards. If you spend time with people who share your interests, it will spark your imagination and motivate you to pursue your goals.
PISCES(Feb. 20-March 20)
Keep your eyes and ears alert for new opportunities. Being well-informed will give you an advantage when faced with com-petition. Update your resume and strive to advance.
ARIES(March 21-April 19)
You will gain experience if you try something different. Social activities will result in an edu-cational or travel opportunity. Consider home improvements.
TAURUS(April 20-May 20)
Rethink your strategy and search for important facts. False or misleading information will lead to mishaps. Keep your emo-tions under control and you will come out on top.
GEMINI(May 21-June 20)
Your fiery nature will help to set the stage for fun and excite-ment. Time spent with someone you love will bring you closer together. Socialize, network and enjoy interacting with others.
CANCER(June 21-July 22)
Self-discipline is required in order to succeed. Help will be given if you ask for it. A colleague will be interested in one of your ideas or skills. Share your plans and intentions.
LEO(July 23-Aug. 22)
A partnership will turn out better than you anticipated. Your
compassionate nature, experience and insight will help someone who faces a troublesome time.
VIRGO(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Business negotiations will not turn in your favor if you divulge secret information. Ensure that parity is paramount in joint ven-tures, or you will end up doing the majority of the work.
LIBRA(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Minor changes will make you more marketable personally and professionally. Your unique out-look will impress all the right people, leading to an appealing offer. Romance is looking good.
SCORPIO(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
You will have problems con-vincing others to join your quest. Don’t waste time arguing. Collaborating with people who understand and appreciate your motives will bring higher returns.
SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
Temptation will be your downfall. Stick to a budget. Overspending will cause addi-tional stress. It is your personality and wit that will make the best impression, not your cash.

Dear Harriette: I go home for the holidays every Christmas as I did this year, but I didn’t get to see all of my family and friends. I always try to see everybody, but time got by me this year. I spent quality time with my mom and siblings, which was really special, but I didn’t have enough time to visit some of the high school friends I normally see. I’m the one who usually drives to everybody’s house, and I didn’t do it this time. Meanwhile, I have already gotten a couple of snippy texts from friends I didn’t get to visit. I feel bad that I didn’t make it to all of them this time, but I also feel like it would be nice if any of them would take the initiative to come to me. How can I fix this so that I don’t feel guilty or responsible for making it all happen whenever I come to town? I’m only human, after all. — Only Human, Syracuse, New York
Dear Only Human: It sounds like you have set yourself up to
be the one who is available. If your friends have always expect-ed you to show up at their door, you cannot legitimately be mad at them for being disappointed when you failed to do so.
If you now believe you want to modify your engagement with others when you come home, you have to retrain everybody — starting with yourself. In the future, decide in advance what you believe you want to do. If your friends are also friendly with each other, you may want to suggest that you all gather on a particular day at a local water-ing hole or restaurant. Those who can come will, and you will have one place to go rather than feeling like you have to travel all over the city. You can also tell your friends that you would be happy for them to come to visit you, provided that your family is OK with that.
In the here and now, reach out to the people you did not get to see. Apologize for not making it to them. Let them know that
next time you come home you plan on changing the tradition so that you get to see everybody without wearing yourself out.
Dear Harriette: I get holiday cards from a small group of people every year, even though I do not send them out myself. I never got into that ritual. I did have the thought that I should do something to acknowledge the people who take the time to include me in their card send-ing. I don’t feel like sending a thank-you card makes sense. What would be appropriate? These are mainly people I do not talk to regularly, but I do really like them. — Closing the Loop, Chicago
Dear Closing The Loop: It would be perfect for you to pick up the phone and call the people who sent you cards so that you check in and find out how they are doing. You may also want to email them to thank them for their annual card and to update them on what’s going on in your life.

COMICS
Kary Mullis, who won the 1993 Nobel Prize in chemistry, said, “Examples include the dou-ble helix in biology ... You make observations, write theories to fit them, try experiments to disprove the theories and, if you can’t, you’ve got something.”
Yesterday we saw a deal in which a good trump fit increased the value of a hand. If one fit is good, just imagine what a double fit will do.
How would you and your partner bid today’s North-South hands? South opens one heart, and North raises to two hearts. (Yes, North has a maximum and the Losing Trick Count says that he is worth a game-invitational raise, but unless that diamond suit is useful, the hand will prove disappointing to partner. Starting with two hearts seems right to me.) What should happen after that?
South might jump to four hearts, but that is overly hasty. It is much better to rebid three dia-monds. Yes, North will think that
is a help-suit game-try, which might be made with a weaker suit, but South is interested in his partner’s diamond holding.
Here, North’s hand could not be better. Typically, he would either sign off in three hearts or jump to four hearts. Now, though, he should raise to four diamonds. This announces the delicious double fit. And South should see the expediency of bid-ding six diamonds, not six hearts, because the club ruff(s) will be in the shorter trump hand.
In six diamonds, South takes one spade, five hearts, five dia-monds and a club ruff in his hand.
Note, though, that there are only 11 tricks with hearts as trumps.
