However, no update was available on the condition of security guard Niaja Bowles, 33, who was also wounded. The shooter believed by police to be Robert Dell Church, 29, of Lake City is still at large. The initial investigation by the Columbia County Sheriff s Office Church revealed Church was in an argument with two unknown females inside the lodge at closing. Bowels attempted to separate the parties involved and take them outside. Once outside, Church fell to the ground, police said. It is unsure what caused him to fall. Church then reportedly went to a vehicle in the parking lot and retrieved a handgun. He shot Bowles once before fleeing the area, deputies said. The bullet passed through the lower portion of Bowles body and struck Lee in the leg, Smith said. Church is described as a black man standing 5 10 inches tall and weighing about 235 pounds.

3 Page Editor: Emily Lawson, LAKE CITY REPORTER LOCAL WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, A Cyclist killed in crash 50-year-old man hit by car Tuesday around 6:30 a.m. By SARAH LOFTUS WELLBORN A Wellborn man was killed around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday in Suwannee County after being struck by a car while riding his bicycle, according to a Florida Highway Patrol release. FHP hasn t released the 50-yearold man s name yet because it hasn t been able to make contact with his family, which lives out of state. Amberlee Joy Price, 30, of Jennings, was driving west on 180th Street near 47th Drive when her car drifted off the roadway and onto the right shoulder, the release said. Price s 2010 Ford Taurus hit the back wheel of the bicycle, throwing the rider off. He landed on the hood and windshield of Price s car, the report said. Suwannee County EMS pronounced the bicyclist dead at the scene. The roadway was closed for about three hours after the accident.

The crash occurred around 6:30 Tuesday on 180th street near the intersection of 47th Drive in Wellborn when a Ford Taurus struck a bicyclist, who died at the scene. 180th Street was closed for nearly three hours. The Suwannee County Sheriff s Office was also on scene. Officers gather at the scene of the crash. The wrecked bicycle is seen lying in the grass, while the rider s hat is seen in the middle of the road. The Ichetucknee Springshed project subject of meeting Board will meet Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at Columbia County School Board Administrative Complex. The Suwannee River Water Management District along with city and county officials will hold a public meeting on Thursday to discuss the Ichetucknee Springshed Water Quality Improvement project, a joint venture to convert Lake City s treated wastewater effluent sprayfields into wetlands. The water district is partnering with the city and county to improve water quality by reducing Lake City s wastewater nutrient loadings to the Ichetucknee River. The aim is to reduce nitrogen loading by about 85 percent. The meeting is set for 5:30 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Columbia County School Board Administrative Complex, 372 West Duval Street. The total cost of the project is $4.6 million with funding contributions of $3.9 million from the Department of Environmental Protection, $400,000 from the water district, $200,000 from Lake City, and $100,000 from Columbia County. The public is encouraged to attend this meeting to learn more about the conceptual design and provide feedback. SRWMD board approves tentative budget LIVE OAK The Suwannee River Water Management District Governing Board on Tuesday approved the tentative fiscal year 2014 budget of $24.5 million. The Governing Board also approved a millage rate of , which is the same as last year. Under the proposed millage rate those who own property with a taxable value of $100,000 will pay $41.43 in property taxes to the district. The tentative budget will enable the district to protect water resources for the benefit of our citizens and natural system, a news release said. Taxes paid to the district contribute to numerous public services such as protecting springs and rivers, water supply planning, and water resource development. Springs projects and programs represent roughly 42 percent of the budget. The district will hold two public hearings Sept. 9 and Sept. 23 before the budget and millage rate will be adopted. Both meetings will begin at 5:05 p.m. at the district headquarters in Live Oak. The final budget and millage rate will be adopted at the Sept. 23 hearing.

The state cannot prove, without a reasonable doubt, that Grandison shot Mr. Patel, he said during his opening statements. John Durrett, the assistant state attorney who is prosecuting the case, said April 27, 2012, was business as usual for the Patels, until they encountered Grandison shortly after 1 p.m. He said He died there on the loor of that store where he spent every day of his life for the last 14 years. John Durrett, assistant state attorney Grandison shot Patel four times with a 9 mm pistol, once through the heart and lungs. He died there on the floor of that store where he spent every day of his life for the last 14 years, Durrett said. Durrett s a i d Grandison robbed the store because he was behind on his bills and needed cash. In his 13-minute opening statement, Durrett said the day after the shooting Grandison, who was two months behind in his rent, met his landlord in Valdosta, Ga., and gave him $675 in cash. He said Grandison then went to Pensacola and disappeared until he was apprehended more than a year later by federal authorities. James Johnson, Grandison s son-in-law, has already pleaded guilty for his role in the robbery and been sentenced to 20 years. He took the stand and said he and Grandison discussed robbing A&M Discount Beverage. I guessed that it would be something easy to do, he said. He said he was told by Grandison that Grandison would go in first, then he would go in, grab the money and run. When asked why he took part in the crime, Johnson responded, I don t know. I guess I felt obligated. Megan McGraw was a roommate of Johnson and his wife, Sheena Grandison. McGraw, who was also dating Earnest Grandison s son, testified that the evening of the shooting she came home after running Photos by JASON MATTHEW WALKER/Lake City Reporter Assistant State Attorney John Durrett (from left), Grandison s attorney David Collins and Third Circuit Judge Leandra Johnson have a sidebar meeting during trial on Tuesday. Nirav Patel, the murder victim s son, hands back photos of the interior of the store to prosecutor John Durrett while on the stand on Tuesday. errands and found Johnson home alone. He was panicked, she said. He was looking back and forth at the Gainesville and Jacksonville news stations. He shot that guy, she said, quoting Johnson as she said he pointed to the television. He wasn t even doing anything. He was just coming out the back door and Larry shot him... It was no need to shoot him. We already had the money and we were leaving. McGraw said she discussed it with her mother then reported the incident to law enforcement a few days later. The state showed at least 10 video clips from the store s video surveillance camera. The clips, which had no sound, show a man wearing a black hat with a white substance or object on his neck and nose menacing Daxaben Patel, Rajnikant Patel s wife, who was working at the cash register, with the gunman moving from side to side at the register pointing the pistol at her. Then another person enters the store, reaches behind the counter and leaves. The gunman then goes to the left of the screen, takes the pistol out of his right hand and holds it with his left as he appears to discharge the gun several times. Rajnikant Patel, who died in the robbery, is never seen in the video. However, prosecutors say he was shot to death by Grandison after entering the front of the store from a side room on hearing his wife s screams. During testimony Tuesday, Daxaben Patel identified Earnest Grandison as her husband s killer. Brock Dietz of the State Fire Marshall s Office, who also does video analysis, was sent the video surveillance tapes from the crime. Of the eight different cameras, he said six were of evidentiary value and he clarified, enhanced and enlarged the video as well as captured still photos. Dietz and two FDLE crime scene investigators testified about evidence they collected, as did a former FDLE investigator and State Attorney s Office investigator. The trial continues today at 9 a.m. and is expected to go to the jury this afternoon. Cambridge Prep Academy cambridgeprepacademy.org A private school for all grades.

4 OPINION Wednesday, July 9, A A N O T H E R V I E W FCC: Cat videos need captions, too Net neutrality is all the rage. Cable and cellphone companies are universally unpopular, so the unthinking demand that the government regulate access. Such regulation invites absurd innovations, such as the latest Federal Communications Commission proposal to require closed captioning on cat videos. The commission will vote Friday whether to impose old television closed-captioning standards to short video clips available on Internet sites such as YouTube. The agency thinks that without government intervention, the hard-of-hearing will miss something when someone posts a video of a toddler toppling over or a mama cat hugging her kittens. Since the FCC has no actual authority over the Internet, the rule for now will only apply to commercial broadcasters. When NBC News wants to post a clip online about a fast-breaking story, it will think twice about how important it is. The technical challenges are significant. Some programmers may not be able to repurpose televised captions, explains Ann West Bobeck, a senior vice president for the National Association of Broadcasters, in a letter to the FCC, or may be significantly editing captions for purposes of posting an online version of the captioned clip. Broadcasters, whose native tongue is argle-bargle, nevertheless understand that it s not worth putting their licenses in jeopardy and will not offer material online. Everyone misses out, including the deaf. The FCC can t meet its own standards now. Because commissioners speak in jargon only insiders can understand, the closed-captioning for FCC open meetings is often comically bad. Professional caption services can t keep up with the machine-gun flurry of inscrutable acronyms. The NPRM about forcing CLECs to use ILEC or NECA rates translates into a caption that reads: See Lex use I lack or neck a rate. (Clear speaking, like good writing, is highly prized on the Internet.) Federal intervention isn t needed. The Internet is the great equalizer, inviting the blind, deaf and disabled, the lame and the halt, to participate in a global conversation with nobody needing to know the age, race, sex or handicap of participants. In 1998, the feds devised Section 508 rules for government websites that forbid the use of on-screen color to convey information. The result is the federal websites are awash in beige and bland, lest the colorblind take offense. The FCC is behind the times here, too. The agency seems unaware that it s the year 2014, and still it doesn t offer commission statements and agendas in the browser-friendly format used by nearly every other website on the Internet. Simple statements are only available in a Microsoft Word document, an Adobe PDF file or as ugly, unformatted text. An agency so behind the times shouldn t try to set standards for the Internet. If there s a demand for captioning of videos of tumbling toddlers and cats doing what cats do, the market will make it happen.

BY FAX: (386) BY Saying I do to friendship We were young then, with our whole lives before us, starry-eyed blind to all that lay ahead. I went running up the steps of the church late, yes, to my own wedding when I spotted them out of the corner of my eye hurrying along beside me. I d never seen them before, but knew them well. Brushing back a makeshift veil that kept flopping in my face, I said, You must be Ginnie and Gary. I m so glad to finally meet you! They were college friends of the man I was about to marry. I d heard enough about them to know, or at least, hope, they d soon be my friends, too. They were in a rush to get inside for the service. I told them not to worry, it probably wouldn t start without me. That was the first of countless big laughs we have shared. I m not smart about much, but I m a genius at spotting friends. Even ones I ve never met. There are things you know with your heart more than with your head. That s how I knew them. In the months to follow, I grew to like them so well that I told my husband, if ever we should part, I wanted custody of Ginnie and Gary. He didn t laugh. Even then, I suspect he saw it as a prophecy. We lived three hours apart but took turns making the drive several times a year for a weekend at their place or ours. Personally, I preferred theirs. Actually, we all did. It was cleaner. Obama s lectures aren t helping So sue me. President Barack Obama on Tuesday, complaining about Republican leaders We re not sure who would be spurred into action by the hectoring lectures last week from the president of the United States along the lines of, I m right, you should know better. Maybe his kids. Certainly not the Republican members of Congress. Americans who aren t fierce Republican or Democratic partisans probably rolled their eyes at this display if they haven t completely tuned out Washington s bimodal distrust and contempt. Problem is, right now, that mutual distrust and contempt hampers a national response to an urgent humanitarian crisis involving thousands of children. Nearly 40,000 unaccompanied children from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras have been apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol after sneaking across the Mexican-U.S. border in the past year. They ve mainly come via smugglers, a harrowing journey that puts the kids in extreme danger. Once here, the children are Sharon Randall The food was better. And it was always more fun. Gradually, we added children, their two and our three. Occasionally, we d go camping together in the rain or take a picnic to the beach in the fog or spend a few days freezing in a cabin in the snow. Funny, isn t it? Bad times feel better with good company. We watched our children grow up, weathered changes, big and small, shared our hopes and fears and, most of all, our lives. In the four years my husband battled cancer, Ginnie and Gary kept in touch, walking that fine line of friendship, praying and cheering us on, always knowing somehow if we needed to talk or just to be left alone. I remember the day they came to tell him goodbye. I d called to say we were nearing the end and that he wanted to see them. They came as soon as they could. We spent a few hours laughing, crying, recalling all the times that we had shared. When they left, we stood on the porch waving as they drove out of sight. Then he looked at me and grinned. You can have custody, he said, picked up and held in government shelters until they can be released to family or foster care. Eventually they get hearings, or perhaps just fade illegally into communities. This is part of a huge immigration mess that needs fixing. But if the president truly wanted cooperation on this crisis, why did he unload a term s worth of frustration with gridlock by chiding Republicans for torpedoing immigration reform? The president s lectures this week have been all certitude, no introspection. Where s the acknowledgment of his administration s failure to build bipartisan consensus on almost anything? During his first two years as president, Democrats dominated both congressional chambers. Republicans now control the House. After the November election they may control the House and Senate. You d think, in the sixth year of his presidency, Obama would find a way to deal with the existence of an opposition party that can be as obstinate as he is. Broad immigration reform, once seen as the best prospect for a rare breakout of bipartisanship, is dead for the year. But we still have an immigration crisis that is putting until I see them again. In the years after he died, Ginnie and Gary held onto me and my children, inviting us to visit, showing up for weddings, sending notes and cards for Christmas or birthdays or whenever to stay in touch. Finally, when I remarried, they opened their hearts and their home to welcome my new husband just as warmly as they had once welcomed me. I tell myself they still like me better than they like the new guy. But really? I m not sure. We live some 500 miles apart and don t get to see each other often. But recently we had dinner together in their vineyard in California, along with some of our children and grandchildren. We talked and laughed, ate and drank, chased 2-year-old Henry around the yard, and celebrated three generations of a longtime friendship that has been, for me, such a gift. I wish you could ve seen us. I hope you re blessed, as I have been, with longtime friends who prop you up and make you laugh, pray for you and hold you close in good times or in bad. I hope you will tell them soon, don t wait how much you treasure their friendship. May you always stay close, always retain custody, and look forward to the day, in this world or the next, when you will surely see each other once again. Sharon Randall can be contacted at P.O. Box , Henderson, NV children at risk and creating more anxiety among U.S. residents in border states. Obama promised to move available and appropriate resources to border security. Beyond that, he didn t offer much. He said top administration figures will be tasked to come up with other responses by the end of the summer. So the president, who said he ll act when Republicans won t, promised to act on this crisis... soon. This should be a rare moment in the Obama presidency when it is possible to put political differences aside. These kids need to be kept safe and in the custody of the U.S. government, not released while there is a fair, humane and fast adjudication of their cases. The children from Central America should get legal counsel. Some may qualify for asylum here. Most will be repatriated. It s important that that happen, and quickly, so families back home recognize that shipping their children to the U.S. border will be perilous and unrewarded. Chicago Tribune

Ruth grew up in the Mississippi Delta town of Anguilla, where she played basketball throughout high school. She attended Delta State Teachers College in Cleveland, Miss. (now Delta State University), then with Ruby went to a business school in Memphis, Tenn. While she often spoke of her mother s teaching in a one-room schoolhouse and took pride in her family s academic achievements, her teaching was focused on her own seven children. At a USO dance in Memphis on the heels of World War II, Ruth and Ruby met two handsome young Army Air Corpsmen and were married within months, Ruth to Bernard Louis Splichal on May 18, Years as a military wife and mother were spent in Mississippi, Texas, Labrador, Kansas, Missouri and Georgia before the family landed in Lake City, Fla., where Splichal retired from the Air Force in 1966 to join the Aero Corp.

She was a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Ruth is remembered for her genteel Southern charm, acceptance of everyone, ready nod and smile, adages and stories, lifetime love of her husband and, most of all, joy in her four sons, three daughters and their offspring. She especially reveled in the attention and affection she received from her darling girls, daughters Ann, Cathy and Beth, who daily brought light, love and laughter to her doorstep. In a 1998 interview with her granddaughter Liz, Ruth noted the immense rewards of being a parent, seeing all the stages of their development, mental and physical; the pride in accomplishment; zeal and wonder in nature and every small experience. In reality, you relive your childhood again through them, she said. I would hope people would keep that sense of curiosity and wonderment toward learning all their lives.

By CARTER JACKSON Special to the Reporter During a mission trip to Guatemala this summer, a group of Lake City teenagers visited the home of José, a young boy of perhaps 6 or 7 with precious few possessions to his name. Jared Scott, 16, a Columbia High School junior, calls it his favorite moment of the trip. José gave his drawing book to one of the members of our team, Scott recalled. That book was his most prized possession and he gave it away. It was amazing to see how some- one with nothing gave away everything. It gave me a new understanding of what giving means.

8 8A LAKE CITY REPORTER HEALTH WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 2014 Page Editor: Emily Lawson, Occupational Medicine Physicals including DOT, drug screens, workmans comp & urgent care Federal judge says he won t dismiss Medicaid lawsuit Recent changes to Medicaid have caused some Lake City residents to lose their local doctors. Now, with Florida s initiative to privatize the Medicaid program, residents may have to travel at least 50 miles away to Gainesville to receive certain types of care. The state argued that a massive statewide overhaul to privatize Medicaid will raise reimbursement rates, improve doctor participation and address allegations that children can t get doctor appointments. Attorneys for the state said the lawsuit, which was filed nine years ago, has become moot because of the Medicaid privatization. Statewide enrollment for most children began in May and ends in August. A federal judge refused Tuesday to dismiss the lawsuit that alleges Florida provides inadequate care to children in its Medicaid program, despite state claims that privatizing the program will resolve many of the problems. Judge Adalberto Jordan said the changes are promising, but added there are too many unknowns about whether the program will actually improve access to medical care to dismiss the case. Under privatization, the state pays insurance companies a set fee to provide care and the companies must follow standards. However, Jordan said it will be some time before it s clear whether insurers follow through. It s one thing to require standards in a contract. It s quite another thing to see if they meet the standards and we aren t going to know that for a very long time, said Jordan, who said he plans to issue a ruling in October. The state has spent millions defending the class-action lawsuit that claims Florida is violating federal Medicaid requirements by providing inadequate medical and dental care for children on Medicaid. The initial complaint alleges 390,000 children did not get a medical checkup in 2007 and more than 750,000 received no dental care. Many doctors and dentists won t accept Medicaid, as Florida s reimbursement rates are among the country s lowest. The lawsuit alleges children on Medicaid often must wait two to three months to see specialists, especially in rural counties. Nearly 3 million Florida residents more than half of them children are shifting to privatized Medicaid this year. Insurance companies are required to spend 85 percent on patient care and must expand their network of doctors and hospitals, increase reimbursement rates and meet a host of stringent new standards, said Stephanie Daniel, an attorney for the state. She said that will dramatically improve access to medical care. Medicaid as it was before won t exist, she said. About 5,000 children will not transition into the privatization program and the state will still pay for the medical services they incur, said Daniel. Medicaid privatization may be a game changer in the case, the judge said, but he noted there are still too many unanswered questions. For example, he said it s unclear whether the state will decide in January 2015 to further increase doctor reimbursement rates. Additionally, the state must get federal approval if it wants to continue the program beyond three years. It s unclear what federal health officials will decide, especially as tensions with the state escalated after the Florida Legislature voted not to expand Medicaid to roughly 1 million additional people under the Affordable Care Act. The trial wrapped up two years ago, but Jordan, who was appointed to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and maintained jurisdiction over this case, has not yet issued a ruling. Kelli Kennedy of the Associated Press contributed to this story. Detox your body with hot springs in a pill at home Use these natural dietary supplements to cleanse your cells of unwanted toxins. Dear Readers, I ve written before about fountain of youth hot spring waters which are super rich in minerals and sulfur compounds. These substances penetrate the skin and relieve muscle aches/spasms, arthritis and skin rashes. The warmth of the water increases circulation which helps detoxification and improves blood flow to the heart. I realize some of you cannot travel so recreate the hot springs in your own bath like I do. Mineral bath salts like dead sea salts are sold at many retail bath shops. You can buy bath salts at SelinaNaturally. com, SeaSalt.com and RealSalt.com. You can also buy stronger (but still relaxing) detoxification baths that include mustard or ginger. I buy the Mustard Bath Salts online. The image shown with this article is Strawberry Hot Springs, located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado in the United States.

Detoxification is just a cleansing of the cells (or gut) and that helps unstick pollutants. You clear toxins through a variety of processes including one called methylation. You can take any, or all of these but ask your doctor first: MSM This provides the body with sulfur, and sulfur is one of the key healing elements in hot springs. MSM stands for methyl sulfonyl methane and it s found in fruits and veggies. Some clinical trials suggest that MSM relieves osteoarthritis pain by building up the squishy stuff between your joints. Sulfur-based compounds such as MSM are thought to detoxify the liver (by raising glutathione), improve allergies/asthma and clean out the gut. This is sold everywhere. Taurine This natural amino acid is sulfur based, and sulfur as you just learned is beneficial to the body. Taurine may help people with high blood pressure, heart arrhythmia, high cholesterol and GI problems. Taurine might help protect against macular degeneration. Methionine Another sulfur amino acid that helps you methylate, sold in health food stores. It helps build cell membranes, improve mood and joint pain. This goes on to form SAMe, another popular supplement. B 12 and folic acid (or 5-MTHF) These B vitamins make it easier for your body to methylate and therefore, clear toxins.

Other division winners were: 12U Ocala Highlands 12, Gilchrist 7; 15U Melrose 13, Hamilton County 7. Tuesday s championship round concluded the fourday tournament hosted by Fort White Babe Ruth Baseball at South Columbia Sports Park. Fort White did not get a real threat going until the top of the fourth inning when the final score was already set. Joseph Comesana led off with a single and moved up on a wild pitch. On a ground ball to the shortstop, he was thrown out at third base. Samuel Moore followed with a double his second hit of the game but the runners were stranded at second and third. Jonathan Fischer also had two hits for Fort White, but was left on third base in the first inning. In the 11-6 win over Normandy on Monday, Fort White got timely hitting. John Wells had a basesloaded double for three RBIs and scored a run. Comesana had a two-run double and scored a run. Fischer had a pair of singles and scored two runs. Brendan Johnson and Moore each scored two runs. John Miller (single, RBI), Caedrin Blancett and Daniel Gonzalez also scored runs. Fort White s Minor All- Stars will return to action in the North Florida 10U State Tournament. Fort White plays host Lake City at 9 a.m. Thursday.

World Cup beat down Members of Team Monsta Wrestling show off medals and awards won at the AAU Disney Duals. Team Monsta Wrestling eighth at Disney Duals Monsta Wrestling/ Columbia High took eighth place out of 40 teams in its division at the AAU Disney Duals. Disney is a national competition held every year at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. This is the first year that a team from CHS has competed at Disney and coming away with eighth place is a huge accomplishment, Tigers head coach Kevin Warner said. The kids wrestled their hearts out. Columbia wrestlers made up part of the team sponsored by Monsta Clothing out of Lake City. I d like to personally thank Tony Curtis for all of his support and allowing us to use his Monsta Clothing brand to build quite a program, Warner said. Man did we look sharp. Competing on the Monsta team (by weight class) were: n 106 Chase Curtis, Caleb Key, Robert Lynch n 113 Cole Horton; n 120 Josh Lynch, Matt Raulerson; n 126 Daniel Mann, Alex Cao (South Walton High); n 132 Brock Carlan (Arnold High), Justin Grant (Leon High); n 138 Dustin Regar; n 145 Austin Chapman, Robbie White; n 152 Cody Pickren COURTESY (South Walton High), Josh Rodgers n 160 Gavin Hoard (Chiles High), Jordan Nash; n 170 Michael Dudzinski (West Nassau High); n 182 Christian Thompson, Randy Koscak (Arnold High); n 285 Marcus Zeighler, Gabe Beyer (Leon High).

By CHRIS LEHOURITES Associated Press BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil Germany poured in the goals Tuesday to hand Brazil its heaviest World Cup loss ever with an astounding 7-1 rout in the semifinals that stunned the host nation. Miroslav Klose scored a record-setting 16th career World Cup goal in a fivegoal spurt in the first half as Brazil s defense was torn apart. The Germans reached their eighth final and will face either Argentina or the Netherlands on Sunday at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Previously, Brazil s biggest World Cup loss was 3-0 to France in the 1998 final. This matched their biggest ever margin of defeat in any competition, equaling a 6-0 loss to Uruguay in 1920 in the South American championship, the predecessor of the Copa America.. We wanted to make the people happy... unfortunately we couldn t, defender David Luiz said. We apologize to all Brazilians. It s also Brazil s first loss in a competitive match on home soil since Brazil s attack was weakened by the loss of Neymar, who fractured a vertebra after getting kneed in the back in the quarterfinal win over Colombia. But it was Brazil s porous defense that was the biggest problem in the first half as the host also sorely missed suspended captain Thiago Silva. We apologize to all Brazilians. David Luiz, Brazil defender On Tuesday, with Bernard playing as the third striker, Brazil attacked from the start. But they failed to get any solid chances, and it wasn t long before the Germans opened up the defense and started the rout. Toni Kroos and Andre Schuerrle scored two goals each, while Thomas Mueller and Sami Khedira added the others. Oscar pulled a late goal back for Brazil. Klose scored his record goal in the 23rd minute, pushing him past Brazil striker Ronaldo s 15 career World Cup goals. The German had his original shot saved, but he followed up as Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar spilled the ball, easily scoring from the rebound. Kroos scored his first goal in the 25th minute, knocking in a cross from Philipp Lahm that bypassed Mueller in the middle. He made it 4-0 a minute later, beating Cesar after a defensive mistake from Fernandinho left the ball on the feet of Khedira. Mueller scored the first goal, one-timing a corner from Kroos past Cesar in the 11th minute. Khedira made it 5-0 in the 29th, taking a pass from Mesut Ozil and again beating Cesar. Schuerrle, who came on for Klose in the 58th minute, scored from a cross by Lahm in the 69th, and then knocked a shot off the underside of the crossbar and into the net in the 79th.

11 Page Editor: Emogene Graham, LAKE CITY REPORTER ADVICE & COMICS WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, B DILBERT BABY BLUES BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY HAGAR THE HORRIBLE SNUFFY SMITH ZITS GARFIELD B.C. DEAR ABBY: My 19-year-old son has been dating the daughter of one of my friends I ll call Mona. We didn t set them up; they met at some parties. Last summer we discovered they were having sex because Meghan thought she was pregnant. Luckily, it turned out she wasn t. They broke up but have gotten back together recently. When I asked Mona if she was putting Meghan on birth control, Mona said that she wouldn t because that would be letting her know it s OK to have sex. I said, Better safe than sorry! and we left it at that. I let my son use my car last weekend and found an opened box of emergency contraception on the floor. Because my son never answers his phone, I called Meghan and stressed to her that unprotected sex is irresponsible and that they aren t ready for a baby. I warned her to take precautions and get on birth control, and I helped her to make the arrangements. Was it wrong to discuss this behind her mother s ARIES (March 21-April 19): Invest in your appearance and your skills. A change will do you good and help to rejuvenate you mentally and emotionally. Don t let criticism bring you down. An active schedule will prove to reinforce your confidence. HHHHH TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Look for the positive in everything you do and with every situation you face. Having a good attitude will make a difference when dealing with business associates or personal partners. Don t let emotional disillusionment cloud your vision. HHH GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Let your charm guide you. The heartfelt way you express your ideas will have a lasting impression on those you encounter. The energy you put behind any job you do will bring great results, as well as positive change. HHH CANCER (June 21-July 22): You ll be put in a compromising position if you offer help. Don t let anyone take advantage of you. Offer only what you feel is fair. Refuse to let anyone meddle in your affairs or your decisions. Put more time into learning instead of teaching. HHH LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make changes at home or at work that will help you expand your interests, use your skills more efficiently and connect with DEAR ABBY Young couple s use of birth control is long past due Abigail Van Buren back? Should I tell Mona after promising Meghan I wouldn t say anything? What should I do? MOM VERSUS FRIEND DEAR MOM: Wrong? You deserve a medal. And you should now have the conversation with your son that you should have had before the first pregnancy scare, stressing to HIM the importance of using condoms not only to protect himself and Meghan from an unplanned pregnancy, but also an STD if she isn t the only girl he s having sex with. Girls don t get pregnant all by themselves. As to telling your friend Mona, who seems to have the parental insight of an ostrich where her daughter is concerned, keep your promise to Meghan and your lips sealed. Meghan needs a woman she can confide HOROSCOPES THE LAST WORD Eugenia Last people who are supportive and influential regarding your ability to excel. Love is on the rise and romance can be expected. HHHHH VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Problems will develop at home if you let your emotions take over. Don t allow jealousy to ruin your day. Emotional self-deception is apparent, making it vital that you avoid making an assumption about a situation you face. Put your time into helping others. HH LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Help is on the way. What you offer others will be reciprocated. Teamwork will pay off and bring about favorable changes. A business trip, conference or seminar will bring you in touch with someone you want to get to know better. HHHH SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep your money in a safe place and refrain from making emotional purchases of items you don t really need. Getting together with people who share your interests will lead to an interesting proposal. Push for what you want and you will get it. HHH SAGITTARIUS (Nov. CELEBRITY CIPHER in, and your friend seems to prefer living in fantasyland rather than giving her daughter the support and guidance she needs. DEAR ABBY: I live in Colorado. In my state marijuana is legal now. What do you think about my inviting my adult children (they are all over 21) and my aging dad to get stoned with me? I think it might stimulate conversation and motivate more family time than we spend together now. What do you think of family night with marijuana as a way to improve family unity? ORIGINAL THINKER IN DENVER DEAR ORIGINAL THINKER: Were you stoned when you wrote this? If not, I think it s sad that your family would need pot in order to communicate or create family unity. While I applaud your desire to bring your family together, you can have a good time without inviting Mary Jane. And that s what I d recommend. Write Dear Abby at or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA Dec. 21): You will be emotional regarding your personal life and prospects. Make a decision that will create a closer bond with someone special. A partnership can help you stabilize your future. Romance will improve your love life. HHH CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don t get pushed into an argument. A situation you face is likely to get blown out of proportion, putting you in a losing position. Cut your losses and avoid a costly mistake. Emotional deception is evident. HHH AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put your skills to work for you. There is money to be made if you invest in your talents and update your resume. Picking up additional knowledge will also open a window of opportunity through someone you befriend. HHHH PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep busy and you will advance.

14 6b LAKE CITY REPORTER SPORTS WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 2014 Page Editor: Tim Kirby, IN THE PITS NASCAR pulling the plug at Daytona was the right call By JENNA FRYER Associated Press When the sky opened for a third time during the rain-rescheduled race at Daytona, and teams pulled out car covers to wait out the weather, it seemed the right time for NASCAR to put the Coke Zero 400 out of its misery. The entire weekend was plagued by rain. Cars never got near the track for the scheduled Saturday start. When the race finally did begin Sunday delayed, because of rain on the pace laps it went a whopping six laps before the cars went back to pit road for another 25-minute delay. Then, the on-track carnage: a 16-car crash, and a 26-car crash. A total of six drivers managed to avoid accidents, leaving just 17 cars on the lead lap. It would have been comedic if it wasn t such a disastrous day for one of the biggest events on the schedule. So pulling the plug seemed like such a logical decision when the track was soaked through shortly before 3 p.m. Drivers especially those lined up behind winner Aric Almirola when the race was called with 48 laps remaining thought otherwise. And so did the fans. Using social media to vent their frustration, fans blasted NASCAR for calling the race so early. Daytona International Speedway has lights, and many claimed they were willing to hang in there until they saw one driver take the checkered flag. They were robbed of that right when NASCAR threw in the towel, they argued, and a race is not complete until someone crosses the finish line. I know a lot of the fans tuned into the TV and stuck around at the race track waiting to see a finish, said second-place finisher Brian Vickers. I was expecting them to wait a little bit longer knowing that we have lights here and it was going to be a night race anyway. Those fans have a point. But when posting from their living room with the race on the television, it doesn t really apply. Weather has wreaked havoc on four events this season, including the water-logged Daytona 500, which needed a stoppage of more than six hours. Then came Bristol with two stoppages of more than five hours. Both times, there were fans that stuck around for the finish. And both times, the television window was stretched, but NASCAR s partners worked with the series to keep the events on TV. Texas in April was just like Daytona on Saturday. It rained hard all day, and the cars never got on the track. So NASCAR came back Monday and got the race completed under a sunny sky. Some fans stayed, some left, but the television audience was appeased. Daytona was an entirely different animal. It was a long holiday weekend with the party scheduled for Saturday night s main event. Rain had caused a wreck in the Nationwide s shortened qualifying session, and the race was delayed on Friday night by more rain. When Saturday night racing for the Sprint Cup Series was scrapped, NASCAR and track officials picked an early start for Sunday to create the largest possible window to run the race to completion. But the final shower that spoiled it showed no signs of letting up until at least 8 p.m. It would likely take two hours to dry the track when it did finally stop. There are some fans that would have waited out the bitter end. But plenty others had to get on the road to return home for Monday work. NASCAR had to make a decision, and not stretching Sunday into a 12-plus hour day was the right call. We looked at forecasts and the potential of a few more hours of rain, we decided we were past halfway and just called the race, NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said. We felt that it was in the best interest of fans, getting done and going home and competitors being done. We put on hours or so of solid racing and when you looked at what was in front of us weather-wise, we felt it was just best that the race was concluded. We didn t think there was an opportunity to get a good race in. This was a case of damned if they do, damned if they don t for NASCAR. Kurt Busch and several other drivers felt they d waited through a wet weekend to reach that point, so they had no problem sitting in motor homes to wait for another shot to race for the win. But for those working concession stands, or security or ushers, it was another very long day. Same for the crews, who have few places to go to wait out the weather. NASCAR knew holding everyone was unfair for a wait up to seven hours. The series had to set a stopping point to give fans some closure not the fans at home, who were warm and dry, but those sitting in slick metal grandstands wearing garbage bags to shield themselves from the rain. Doubling up on state SMALL: Whitehouse performs well Continued From Page 1B Garrett Teel pitched all four innings for Whitehouse. He did not walk a batter and had five strikeouts.
