Pinellas News Staff Report

Spring fever is almost here – baseball springtraining starts next week, and fans of theTampa Bay Rays, Philadelphia Phillies and

Toronto Blue Jays will descend onto St.Petersburg, Clearwater and Dunedin to catchtheir teams.Going into Rays spring training, here’s fivethings you should know about this year’s team.

1. Rays sign all-star closer Percival, outfielder FloydThe Rays signed two former all-stars in the off season, Troy Percival

and Cliff Floyd. These two should bring veteran leadership to the club-house. Percival went 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in 34 games for the St. LouisCardinals in 2007. Rays manager Joe Maddon is very familiar with Per-cival – the two spent time together with the Los Angeles Angels.Floyd spent 2007 with the Chicago Cubs, hit 9 home runs and batted

.284 in 108 games. He was a member of the World Series-winning 1997Florida Marlins.

2. Outfield logjam creates competitionThe addition of Floyd creates a logjam in the outfield.

All Star Carl Crawford will play left field, and B.J. Up-ton will man centerfield. Floyd will split time in rightfield with Rocco Baldelli and Jonny Gomes. Baldelli iscoming off an injury plagued 2007 season. The three willbattle all spring long for the starting position. One ofthree will be the designated hitter most nights as well.

Close racein SafetyHarborforcesrecount

By DOUGLAS E. JESSMERThe Pinellas News

ST. PETERSBURG – Eighteen votes – that’s themargin by which Safety Harbor City Commissioner-elect Nina Bandoni won Jan. 29.Because the margin of victory was so close, Pinel-

las County Supervisor of Elections spokeswomanNancy Whitlock said, there was an automatic re-count.A machine recount is mandated by state law when

the margin of victory is one-half of 1 percent orless, she said. If the margin is one-fourth of 1 percentor less, the recount is done by hand.Bandoni , who’s a municipal consultant, bested fi-

nancial advisor Robin Fornino 2,670-2,652 on elec-tion night, but the recount discovered two extra votesfor each candidate, bringing the total to 2,672-2,654.Bandoni could not be reached for comment for

this story, but said in a mid-January candidates forumthat she’d work to ensure an appropriate mix of busi-nesses in Safety Harbor’s downtown, and that newbusinesses would stay in character with the rest ofthe community.She said the city’s visioning sessions produced

“great ideas,” and new businesses to the city must bemindful of the city’s old-Florida-neighborhood vi-sion.

Clearwater’s public library could hardly containthe crowd that gathered for a cable-TV animal showhost Saturday.Animal Planet’s Jeff Corwin gave a presentation

that some fans waited nearly five hours in line to see– and while only about 200 people could get in, a bigoutdoor screen was provided for the overflow crowd,estimated to be at least another 400.Corwin was in town to spread his message that

people should be good stewards of the environ-ment.It’s easier for people to relate to each other, or an-

imals, he said, when they share similarities Corwintold the audience that elephants can perish if they donot receive its mother’s love and comfort – just likehumans.One night, he said, as he laid next to an orphaned

baby elephant, he had to provide it comfort when itexperienced a nightmare.The elephant, in turn, relaxed and reached out its

trunk wrapping it around Jeff’s head “like a turban.”

How’s your New Year’sresolutions going? Breakthem yet?

That’s what I figured.Well, get ready for more

chocolate, this time molded inheart shapes.

Get ready for shortbreadheart cookies (someone’s gottatry that recipe on the back pagethis week).

And, oh, yeah, all those peo-ple in the office getting flowersdelivered.

And smooching in public.And the sappy cards.

And a deluge of red andpink everywhere you look.

That’s right. I see yourolling your eyes. Valentine’sDay (which, for the purposes ofthis column, will be called“VD”) is this coming Thursday.

You can’t avoid VD. It’s likethe plague. All that icky, smarmymushiness, everyone fawningover someone… that VD spirit isin the air. A former colleague ofmine said it best: “Share yourVD with someone special.” I feellike I need to wash my hands al-ready.

Unless you have no one todote over. Then, VD becomessomething you’d rather ignore.

Someone I know, whenasked about VD, said that VDdoesn’t have to involve someoneyou love. It could be for yourfamily, your dog….

So is VD a sickness?If you started reading this

column a couple of sentencesago, get your mind out of thegutter. I’m talking about Valen-tine’s Day.

Papa John’s Pizza offersheart-shaped pizzas, for the loveof Pete. There’s heart-shapedcheesecake… cheesecake…cheesecake…

DFGHJKCVBNM

Sorry, had to snap out of mycheesecake dream.Yeah, Ibanged my head into the key-board. Sorry.

If the way to a man’s heartis through his stomach, youdon’t have to do much for me,girls. Angie’s already got mycheesecake situation under con-trol, but you can send me one. Ifit requires refrigeration, betterbring it in person. Our address isin the bottom left corner of page2. I’m usually here before 11most days.

Maybe we need a cheese-cake contest. If there’s enoughinterest, I’d be happy to judge,but I need a large sample, atleast, in order to judge accu-rately.

At this point, you can tellI’ve steered away from signs ofaffection… to the gratificationthat comes with cheesecake.How selfish of me. I’mashamed.

So VD is a way to show oth-ers you care for them or you lovethem, cheesecake or not. It’s alsoan appropriate time to give toothers.

St. Jude’s Children’s Re-search Hospital, you know, theplace Danny Thomas used to ad-vertise for up in Memphis, ap-parently sells heart jewelry atshop.stjude.org.

That seems like a good wayto give to others and benefit yetmore people.

Might be better than givingthe dog that VD spirit. But thecheesecake thing still stands.

Palm Harbor firefighters demonstrate how new rescue jacks will help them extricate victims during an emergency. The jacks were presentedto the fire district by a Firehouse Subs franchisee in Palm Harbor.

So whowantsto be vicepresident?

Looking back at the resultsof what the media hadreferred to as “Tsunami

Tuesday,” the day did not producea clearly dominant frontrunner forthe presidential candidate race foreither major political party.

In fact, the mixed results ofthe primary left political prog-nosticators in a fog and left radiotalk show hosts a very easy jobpontificating the negative aboutall the candidates while watchingtheir ratings and paychecks soar.

What “Tsunami Tuesday”did is steel the candidates’ re-solve to continue their cam-paigns until the party conven-tions in late August. So now thepossibility of there being aspoiler or kingmaker at the con-vention is probable – and will re-mind those longer in the tooth ofthe conventions back in the un-sophisticated 1960s.

For the Republicans, after“Tsunami Tuesday” Sen. JohnMcCain, R-Ariz.) leads the con-vention delegate count with 697 tothe combined count of 431 dele-gates for formerArkansas Gov.Mike Huckabee and former Mas-sachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

But the party is split alongideological lines. Talk-radio talk-ing heads have exacerbated thesplit, bizarrely pushing their ownagenda and blasting the frontrun-ner, McCain. I thought that wasthe Democrats’ job, not allegedlytheir own supporters.

On the democratic side, Sen.Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has1,012 delegates and Sen. BarackObama, D-Ill., has 993. To winthe Democrats’ nomination, acandidate needs 2,025 delegates.One would expect the candidatesto be constantly thowing spearsor the kitchen sink and anythingelse to gain the lead, but on thesurface, the sparring has beenmore genteel, leaving newspaperpundits predicting an absoluteChernobyl-style meltdown Chinasyndrome at the August conven-tion in Denver.

I think most would agreethat with only two candidates re-maining, the alliances each madeto get endorsements from vari-ous state leaders should give astrong hint on what the strate-gists think to balance to ticketand bring to the candidate thestates with the most electoralcollege votes. Just a note fromhistory: in 1994, then-Vice Presi-dent Al Gore won the popularvote, while President Bush wonthe electoral college.

So which states are reallybig guns? In order of impact theyare California (55), Texas (34),NewYork (31), Florida (27), Illi-nois (21), Pennsylvania (21),Ohio (20), Michigan (17), NewJersey (15), Georgia (15), NorthCarolina (15), and I could go on,but to win, all a candidate needsis 270 electoral votes. These 11states add up to 271.

Getting back on point, whowould balance the ticket to win?Bill Richardson of New Mexico.

Now moving on to the Re-publicans, and getting straight tothe point: Our own governor.Why? 27 electoral votes. Second,Florida voted Republican by only537 votes out of 8 million cast in2000. The impact of a favorite sonwould tip the balance. Finally,Charlie was in NewYork withMcCain on TV on the platformout front, just as he was when hewas Secretary of Education, andlater asAttorney General underformer Gov. Jeb Bush.

So, Florida could be againbe the dealmaker for the Repub-licans.

St. Petersburg, was chargedwith aggravated battery with adeadly weapon Feb. 1 in con-nection with the Jan. 31 inci-dent.The incident began as a ver-

bal dispute at Oliver’s Bar,8235 46th Ave. N, St. Peters-burg, around 3 p.m. Jan. 31.The incident ultimately es-

calated into a stabbing at anearby residence, almost anhour later.According to detectives the

later returned to his home,across the street from the bar.Shortly before 4 p.m., the

victim confronted the suspectoutside his home and the twomen began to fight.Detectives say that during

the fight the suspect reportedlystabbed the victim once in theupper torso with a large kitchenknife after which he again fledfrom the area in his van.The victim was transported

by ambulance to Bayfront Med-ical Center in St. Petersburgwhere he was admitted fortreatment of a serious but non-life threatening injury.

Detectives say the suspectagain returned home at aboutfive hours later.After voluntarily speaking

ANIMAL | From Page 1

Cowrin hailed Florida resi-dents as already being great envi-ronmental stewards, citing themany preserves and bodies of wa-ter providing safe haven for alli-gators and manatees.But he said it’s the “year of

the frog,” as fungus threatens theamphibian population.Corwin said amphibians are

an “indicator species” that pro-vides humans signals for our eco-logical health. Unfortunately, hesaid, 160 species in the pastdecade have been decimated, andprojects for their global well-be-ing are grim because of a deadlyfungus.Continued community-aware-

ness efforts of environmental is-sues, he said, are critical to ensurefuture stewardship.
