Cyrus ‘In constant gratitude of life’
NEW YORK — Miley Cyrus said when she stole the night at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards, she didn’t realize her impact and influence. Now, the singer says she wants to use her powers for good.
The 21-year-old is assist-ing the Hollywood home-less center My Friend’s Place by launching a Prizeo campaign, urging her feverish fans to donate to the cause assisting home-less youth. Cyrus brought a member of the center as her date to Sunday’s VMAs at The Forum in Inglewood, California, let-ting him accept her award for video of the year.
Celebrities at Brown funeral
ST. LOUIS — Several civil rights leaders and celebrities were among thousands of mourners who turned out for the funeral of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Missouri.
Brown was fatally shot Aug. 9 by a police officer in Ferguson, a St. Louis
suburb. His funeral was Monday at a church in St. Louis.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson was in the pews, along with entertainers Sean Combs and MC Hammer, and mov-iemaker Spike Lee.
Also in attendance were the parents of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old fatally shot by a neighbor-hood watch volunteer in
Florida, along with a cous-in of Emmitt Till, a 14-year-old murdered by several white men while visiting Mississippi in 1955. Till’s killing galvanized the civil rights movement.
Several politicians also attended, including U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill and U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay.

The East Indies volcano Krakatoa exploded on this date in 1883, with the explosion being heard 2,500 miles away. The air wave from the explosion was recorded by every barograph in the world. The biggest effect of this event was that the global temperature was lowered by 1 degree over the next two years due to the airborne ash from the explosion.

Hearing set in Florida loud music death caseJACKSONVILLE
A man accused of killing a teenager during an argument over loud music appeared in court briefly
for a hearing in Florida.State attorney’s office spokeswoman
Jackie Barnard says Circuit Judge Russell Healey on Monday made no rulings, set-ting a new hearing for Sept. 8. Jury selec-tion begins Sept. 22 in Jacksonville.
Jurors deadlocked in February on whether Michael Dunn was guilty of kill-ing 17-year-old Jordan Davis of Marietta, Georgia. He was convicted on three counts of attempted murder for shooting at three others in the car with Davis in November 2012.
Witnesses said Dunn complained that
the music coming from the teens’ vehi-cle was too loud, sparking an argument. Dunn claimed self-defense and said he fired into the vehicle because he feared Davis had a weapon.
Florida man bitten by croc in suburban canal
CORAL GABLES — A South Florida man is recovering after he was bitten by a crocodile while swimming at night in a Coral Gables canal.
Authorities said Monday that 26-year-old Alejandro Jimenez was treated and released at a local hospital after suffer-ing bites to his shoulder, arm and neck. Another victim, 23-year-old Lisset Rendon,
suffered unspecified minor injuries.The two were swimming in the canal
early Sunday behind a house where a party was taking place.
Florida wildlife officials say crocodiles are frequently spotted in the canals and signs are posted warning of their presence. Police were handing out flyers in the neigh-borhood as reminders about the crocodiles, which authorities say rarely attack humans.
The crocodile involved in this incident was described as between eight and nine feet long.
20 migrants ashore in fatal beach landing
HILLSBORO BEACH — Twenty peo-
ple believed to be from Haiti came ashore in South Florida on Monday morning, officials said.
One woman was found dead in the surf along Hillsboro Beach and another was taken to a hospital for treatment after res-idents of nearby condominiums alerted Hillsboro police. Another man was found in Boca Raton. All have been turned over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, while the Broward Sheriff’s Office will investigate the death.
Officials say there is no correlation “at this point” to four bodies found floating in the water off Hollywood Beach on Sunday.
Scripture of the Day
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance.
— Alan Watts, British-born philosopher writer, and speaker (1915-1973)
“How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your com-mandments!” — Psalm 119:9-10

Everybody wants a bargain, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
But as everyone knows, all “bar-gains” aren’t created equal, and
something that looks attractive up front can come back to bite you later on.
That’s surely the case with home repair and improvement.
Remember, a qualified contractor will always be properly licensed. Contractors who aren’t should be avoided.
There has been an influx of these folks in the area of late, and believe us, you don’t want that kind of trouble.
If the work gets done at all it may be done poorly, and you might well have no recourse.
And if the contractor gets hurt on the job? You could end up on the wrong end of a lawsuit for your trouble.
There’s no reason to take such a risk.Especially when there are so many quali-
fied local contractors who will do the job right.
Take some advice from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation: Always verify a license; get a written estimate; and get a second (or third) opinion.
Don’t get burned while bargain hunting.
Be on thelookout forunlicensed contractors

Cautionary tales for war correspondents everywhere
T O D A Y I N H I S T O R Y
On this date:
In 1910, Thomas Edison demonstrated for reporters an improved version of his Kinetophone, a device for showing a movie with synchronized sound.
In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing American women the right to vote, was certified in effect.
In 1958, Alaskans went to the polls to overwhelm-ingly vote in favor of statehood.
In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson was nomi-nated for a term of office in his own right.
In 1971, New Jersey Gov. William T. Cahill announced that the New York Giants football team had agreed to leave Yankee Stadium for a new sports com-plex to be built in East Rutherford.
Being a war correspondent is glamorous and exciting, high up on the list of any aspiring young journalist.
But it is also extremely dangerous under any circumstance but espe-cially when those practicing it are pretty much on their own without the proper support or guidance.
Photojournalist James Foley fit into that category and tragically paid the highest of prices, leaving us all worse off because of it. There is little heroism in that, just sadness and outrage at the forces of evil who took his young life. One can only hope his death might serve as a caution to those who would rush off in the future with reckless abandon and a misguided notion that Valhalla awaits if it goes wrong.
Over the years that I sent a num-ber of young men and women into war zones, I did so with this admo-nition.
“Keep your head down and your powder dry. We consider what you are doing to advance the knowledge of our readers important, but not enough to end your life in the pro-cess. Don’t take foolish chances.”
Fortunately, my charges survived the experience and the dread I felt went away with their safe return. I would like to think my advice was the reason but that would be pre-sumptuous. I just got lucky.
Earl Richert, my predecessor and mentor at Scripps Howard, told me the most difficult job he ever faced was telling the fam-ily, friends and loved ones of the death of young Henry Taylor, the son of Ambassador Henry Taylor, while covering the uprisings in the Congo. The presidential plane, the
Columbine, was sent to retrieve the body. As a direct result of that, a few years later a story by cartoonist Gene Basset about being ambushed with a patrol in Vietnam brought an instant order from Earl for his return to the home office.
It was one thing for the much honored, longtime war correspon-dent Jim Lucas to travel regularly with U.S. troops in action in ‘Nam, but quite another for an untrained Washington-based political cartoon-ist with a family to take that risk. Who can argue with that?
Earl’s, and before him, Walker Stone’s sensitivity to what can go wrong stemmed largely, I believe, from the fact that nine of the corre-spondents killed in World War II were from Scripps Howard organizations. That included the most famous of all war correspondents, Ernie Pyle, brought down by a sniper on a small island off Okinawa, and Raymond Clapper, a renowned political analyst.
Foley’s situation and the result that horrified us all came about while covering the Syrian civil war with only minimal back-up. For whatever reason. His parents say he was driven to be there.
During his captivity, there was a rejected demand for ransom by the U.S. government and finally an
abortive rescue attempt this sum-mer. Could all of this been avoided?
Probably, if he had the proper advice, and was warned emphati-cally that if he got into trouble he would be on his own. Maybe he did receive such counseling, but unsur-prisingly it didn’t deter him. Short of being denied entry to the war zone by authorities one wonders what could have stopped him.
The Middle East is the most dangerous area on the planet for Americans generally, but particu-larly for those assigned there as journalists. Even the indigenous variety is extremely vulnerable. It is one thing to travel with troops around you and quite another to be out there by yourself covering fanat-ics of all stripe. In Syria there are only the latter.
Having said all this, I must admit there is a compulsion to be in front of the firefight that is shared by even those who have the utmost backing. They all seem struck by the same disease that constantly forces them to put their heads in the mouth of a lion. Anything else is second rate.
The Pulitzer-winning Jim Lucas murmured bitterly to me while he was dying that his wish was to have died on the battlefield. He had survived three major wars and a half-dozen skirmishes and was close by legendary photographer Robert Cappa when he was killed.
Are they brave? Certainly ... and foolish, too. God bless them.
District bound by law on chartersTo the Editor:
I would like to come to the defense of Superintendent Terry Huddleston and his handling of Shining Star Academy.
I have been to every Columbia County District School Board meet-ing since late 2012. I have also attended at least one meeting involv-ing Shining Star Academy with the school district. I reached the conclu-sion that Terry Huddleston and the Columbia County District School
Board were fair in their treatment of Shining Star Academy, which they treated with equal respect as fellow charter school Belmont Academy.
At the August 12 School Board meeting the district’s attorney, Guy Norris, carefully explained that the Florida Department of Education is the authority that closes schools, like Shining Star Academy, which have a failing grade for two con-secutive years.
Terry Huddleston has no authori-ty to overrule the FDOE, which sets
the August 1 deadline for reapply-ing for a charter school to become open in that school year under new management.
I believe that Terry Huddleston will be vindicated over time in his handling of Shining Star Academy. I look forward to tonight’s school board meeting on Duval Street which should clear up any misun-derstandings in this matter.
Kenny MerrikenLake City
Write-in candidate excluded from rallyTo the Editor:
At the rally at the Fairgrounds on the 19th of August, with the Republican Party and all the candi-dates, we were quite disappointed that a write-in candidate was pre-vented from speaking, by what appears as prejudice of party leader, Buddy Hines.
Let me educate him! Write-in can-didates (who will appear on the bal-lot in November) are candidates just as viable as any other candidate, qualified as any other candidate in Tallahassee, and should’ve been given her three minutes, espe-
cially since she was invited by the Suwannee Party to take her turn speaking.
Buddy Hines was not even cor-dial enough to tell her this to her face. Could this have been because incumbent Elizabeth Porter was present? Then to top it off, Barbara Ann Prince’s candidate signs disap-peared from the driveway before the meeting even began. I feel this is discrimination but also some harassment involved when it was noted her signs outside had been removed.
Barbara Ann Prince has been a Republican for 46 years! We need
people like her that are interested in our community, and our families, someone that will communicate how their offices are improving our communities, vote on issues with the consensus of public opinion, not how she is told to vote or how the governor wants her to vote.
She is also anxious to include the public on her voting record and stay in communication with us. This is American, we are trying to find com-mon ground to avoid unwanted con-trol that is constantly bombarding us.

George Richard “Buddy” Morse III
Mr. George Richard “Buddy” Morse III died suddenly on Au-gust 22, age 39. Born July 19, 1975 in Fort Gordon, Ga he at-tended Lake City’s public schools and lived here most of his life. He is preceded in death by grandparents George and Lorraine Morse, Edmon and Penny Chambliss, and cousin Melissa Chambliss. An easygoing charm, gener-ous smile and twinkling eyes made him immensely like-able, even to those he had just met. His gentle, self-effacing personality, however, belied a deep intelligence and an ex-traordinary grasp of current events, pop culture and politics. He enjoyed laughing and mak-ing others laugh, sometimes by reciting lengthy snippets of television comedies, verbatim, but more often with a wry cri-tique on the subject at hand.
He also loved the outdoors and went ishing when-ever he had the chance. He was generous to a fault, and always willing to lend a helping hand. Most impor-tantly, he loved his family with his entire being. As his daughter recently said, “No matter what, he had my back.” He is survived by his daugh-ter, Serenity Alexis Morse, son, Payne Richard Morse, parents, Sharon and George Richard Morse, Jr., and sister, Allie Morse Knight (Jeff). His spe-cial little buddies (nephews) Keegan and Karder Knight. Other survivors include an aunt, Branda Mangum (Mike); and uncles Daniel Morse (Anina), Robert Morse (Patricia), John Morse (Ross), and Larry Cham-bliss (Rosa); and several cousins. Viewing is scheduled for 6-8 PM on Tuesday, August 26 at Dees Parrish Funeral Home. The funeral, also at Dees Parrish, will be held at 4 PM on Wednes-day. Interment will follow in Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery.

FORT WHITE — Custodial work is more than just a mop and a bucket. Ask Fort White High School head custo-dian Glenn Barton, whose nine-person department is responsible for cleaning and maintaining 220,000 square feet of indoor space and 105 acres of property.
“We do a little of every-thing,” Barton said. “We don’t do major repairs or maintain the facility’s major systems. That’s the mainte-nance department’s job. But we do all the interior clean-ing except in the kitchens and vocational workshops. We also move and repair fur-niture and manage storage, pressure wash sidewalks and adjoining walls, mow, prepare the athletic fields for games and maintain the landscaping. Our job is to make sure the campus is
attractive, clean and suitable for safe operations.”
The custodians’ heavi-est work actually begins when school ends for the summer. That’s when the floors are waxed, carpets are cleaned, and pressure washing and major land-scaping tasks are done. That may not sound like much, but just cleaning the floors and carpets is a major undertaking.
“To get ready, we have to remove all the furniture from the areas we’re work-ing on,” Barton said. “Then we strip and wax the tile flooring and deep-clean the carpets. We used to hire contractors to come in and do the carpets, but that cost $4,000 to $6,000. Now we use a good-qual-ity cleaning machine we bought for $4,000 and do the job ourselves.”
A flexible scheduleThe custodians’ sum-
mer schedule must remain flexible since staff and stu-dents still use the school facility during the summer months.
“We have administrative, guidance and clerical staff here all the time and we have to find ways to accom-modate them,” Barton said. “We also have to work around summer school, football camp, cheerleading camp, volleyball camp, band camp, driver education and any other activities that are scheduled on campus.”
Working around stu-dents and staff is also a fact of life during the school year.
“Some teachers are good with us coming in during their planning periods to clean and vacuum, but some find it too disturbing to their own work. We have to clean their rooms at other times.”
The workload intensi-fies in connection with ath-letic activities and extra-curricular events such as banquets.
“Many people don’t realize it, but the fact that we’re a combined middle and high school means about twice as many spe-cial events as a high school with the same total popula-tion would have,” Barton said.
“For each one of those events, we have to do preparation and cleanup. Take football, we have mid-dle school, junior varsity and varsity games. Every one of them means we have to clean the field houses, ticket booths, bleacher area and press box. We also have to pick up trash before and after the games and make sure that the
field is properly mowed and lined. If an event is held in the cafeteria or gym, we have to help set up beforehand and make sure that the place is ready for normal use afterward.”
Picking up after othersCarelessness and
pranks also add to the cus-todial staff’s load. “Let’s say someone goes out on the sidewalk to do some spray painting for a project and doesn’t spread news-paper over the area first,” Barton said. “That means one of the custodians has to try to clean paint off the sidewalk.
“Senior pranks like spell-ing out ‘Class of whatever’ in masking tape on the roof may seem harmless so long as a kid doesn’t get hurt, but someone has to risk a fall to go up there and clean up after them,” he said.
Barton and his staff are responsible for inspecting the school and its grounds regularly for safety and cleanliness. In addition, the grounds and build-ings are subject to spot checks by the Columbia County School District’s lead custodian and an annual walk-through by the Department of Health.
A custodian’s work is never done, and at times the job can be pretty thank-less. “It’s nice when peo-ple notice what we do and appreciate it,” Barton said.
“But when they don’t notice anything, that’s kind of a compliment in itself. It means they’re seeing things the way they expect them to be, which means we’re doing things right.”

Keeping Fort White High pristine
9-person custodial department wears many hats to keep the campus clean.
ing, Leo was found dead in a body of water less than a mile from his family’s home.
Even though he’s gone, he left a profound impact on those who knew him and those who didn’t.
Live Oak Police Chief Buddy Williams is one of those. He didn’t know Leo, but he was leading the search for him. And while any missing child case is tragic to him, this one hit chillingly close to home.
His 18-year-old daugh-ter, Chandler Williams, has Angelman Syndrome, a neuro-genetic disorder that causes severe intellectual and developmental disabil-ities and makes her prone to wandering.
“It broke my heart because I could feel for this mother,” Williams said. “I know the frustration she has. I know the fear she went through. Obviously, I don’t know what she’s feel-ing now because I’ve never lost a child, but I can only imagine.”
What Leo’s passing has created is a community of individuals who are pas-sionate about putting pre-ventative measures into place to help make sure this never happens again.
“You know, those three days (of searching for Leo) were a tough three days for not just Live Oak but all the surrounding counties. I mean, that was mentally draining on everybody. Hearts were breaking, as was mine,” Williams said. “There’s quite a fear when a child is missing, and we have no idea where they are.”
Now the idea is to cre-ate GPS tracking devices that can be put on autistic children, others with spe-cial needs and even elderly dementia and Alzheimer’s patients, so that if they wander, they can be found
quickly. The idea is really simply
to save lives. Williams is working with
state Rep. Elizabeth Porter, R – Lake City, to turn the idea into a reality. Porter’s staff is currently research-ing the technology avail-able and possible sources of funding for the devices, and they will gather for a public meeting at 6 p.m. on Sept. 4. at Live Oak Police Department.
Porter’s legislative aide Koby Adams said they’re considering developing bracelets or anklets, sim-ilar to ones used by law enforcement for people on probation, that would allow law enforcement and care-takers to track people who have wandered off.
Williams said they want to make the devices avail-able to anyone who wants one for little to no cost, which is why they’re look-ing into funding through federal grants or Medicare, Medicaid and private insur-ance companies.
There are preventative measures available right now, like advanced alarm systems, but a lot of them are incredibly costly, he said.
“In a lot of cases, fami-lies don’t have the financial means or the ability to use these preventative devic-es,” Williams said. “We definitely live in a lesser income area than say South
or Central Florida, and that matters.”
Williams said when Leo first disappeared, people questioned how he could’ve gone missing, how he could’ve died. They won-dered how it’s possible for a 9-year-old child to just leave in the middle of the night, but it’s possible, he said.
“When Leo went miss-ing, a lot of people just didn’t understand how it could happen, and there’s still people that question the parents,” he said. “But I live it every day, and I’ve seen what my daughter can and has done. My oldest daughter is a nanny for a special needs child, and their parents have experi-
enced the same thing. So yeah, this case hit home to me.”
Leo died in a lake, which isn’t uncommon for autistic children. Ninety percent of autistic children who die after running away are found in water, Williams said.
Even his daughter, who has another syndrome, loves water and is drawn to it.
Simply put, it’s easy for a special needs child to wander. Most of the time it doesn’t matter how closely you’re watching the child, Williams said.
One weekend, he, his wife, Amy Williams, and Chandler were in Orlando for a conference. While they were packing their car at their motel, Chandler wandered off in no more than a second.
“There was a large lake area around, so I’m panick-ing. I’m running the edge of the lakes, and finally, we found her. The eleva-tor was in close proximity, and she was in the eleva-tor going up and down. Freaked me out,” he said.
One life has already been lost because of this, Williams said. There don’t need to be any more.
“Sometimes, it takes a tragedy to have success unfortunately,” he said. “But I think a lot of good is going to come from this.”

Greetings Melrose Park Elementary School friends and family. We hope that you have all enjoyed time with your children this summer break, but boy were we ready to have our students back on campus.
Our first week went very well. Teachers and students started getting to know each other and our new CHAMPS sys-tem is being implemented school-wide, which uses visual aids and literature to explain what our expec-tations are for this school year. We have witnessed our students meeting these expectations, and more.
The start of a new yearWe started classes on
Monday, August 18. Our campus was stirring with conversations about new teachers and activities the children have participated in over the summer.
On Thursday, August 21, Melrose Park held its annu-al “Boo-Hoo Breakfast” in which we invited all of our Pre-K, VPK and
Kindergarten parents to join us as they say farewell to their toddlers and come to terms with the fact that their babies are growing up.
We appreciate so much all of the parents who attended this beginning of the year event and we hope that the shock of not having your precious little ones at home will settle down soon.
Volunteer OrientationThis week, Melrose Park
will hold Open House on Thursday, beginning at 6:00 p.m.
In addition to our Open House festivities, all school board-approved volunteers will be invited to join in our Volunteer Orientation. This will be a short session where volunteer guidelines are explained.
Volunteers will not be permitted to participate in classroom activities, field trips or any other volun-teer needs until oriented, so please come on out to Melrose on Thursday for this important meeting.
Our first Title 1 meeting will also be held on this
date.
Saying ‘thank you’Lastly, Melrose Park
would like to sincerely thank the entire staff from Lake City Correctional Facility for the donation of an abundance of school supplies for our deserving students.
Lake City Correctional Facility was gracious enough to supply our school with pencils, eras-ers, crayons, pens, paper, and anything else a grow-ing child’s school list may consist of.
I am certain that we can all remember how import-ant and empowering it was
to be able to bring to class, all of the essential supplies that were required to grant a successful education.
This donation means so much to Melrose Park Elementary in general, but what matters most are the students. They are why we do what we do. They are the most precious posses-sions on earth, and Lake City Correctional Facility has ensured that so many of them will have every-thing they need to thrive in our community.
From the bottom of our collective hearts, thank you.

FORT WHITE — Fort White High football will
look to continue its mas-tery over Hamilton County High under head coach Demetric Jackson.
The Indians host the
Trojans at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the opening game of the regular season.
By BRANDON FINLEY
It was a tale of two halves when Columbia High ral-lied to beat West Orange High, 35-34, in the kickoff classic on Friday.
With it came a share of mixed results and position grades follow.
Quarterbacks/receivers
After a first half that saw no completions, Davin Schuck was perfect in the second half to lead the comeback. He was 10 of 10 and had a touchdown pass to spark the offense. Latrell Williams was effec-tive in both the passing and return game to help lead the receiving group. B-
Offensive line
“They had moments, other times, they were flat-out bad,” Columbia head coach Brian Allen said.
“Be critical on them and look at the tape, we’re not supremely confident with what we’re doing. It’s not the entire group. In that game, we made sev-eral substitutions. Jason Strickland ended up play-ing and knows what he’s doing. Right now, knowing what you’re doing is better than being a good athlete or size attributes. That’s going to help us be able to win.” C-
Running backs
Lonnie Under wood picked up where he left off last year and reached the end zone four times. Kamario Bell also had explosive plays behind a line that’s still working
to find itself. But it was Underwood that led the charge.
“He had a 60-yard run called back,” Allen said. “He had a performance. I didn’t even realize.” A
Defensive line
“We did some things that were pretty bad,” Allen said. “Put it all together and it wasn’t very good. Second half, we played bet-ter.” Columbia was gashed up the middle beginning on the first play, but also had a stand at the goal line in the second quarter that changed momentum. C-
Linebackers
A group that is sup-posed to lead the Tigers didn’t play like it on Friday. There were missed tackles and blown assignments.
From staff reports
Official games for the fall season begin today with matches played by Fort White High volleyball and Columbia High boys golf.
The Lady Indians begin a five-game homestand with a visit from Hamilton County High. The junior varsity teams start things off at 5 p.m. with the varsity squads set to take the court at 6 p.m.
Becky Larson, a former head coach at Dixie County High, moves up from JV
head coach to the varsity for the Lady Indians.
Columbia’s boys tee off at 4 p.m. against Buchholz High at The Country Club at Lake City, where the Tigers will play all of their home matches.
Steve Smithy returns as head coach.
Columbia is the defend-ing champion in District 4-2A, which includes Bradford, Eastside, Keystone Heights, Palatka, Santa Fe and Suwannee high schools.
The Tigers have three 18-hole matches on the schedule — Chiles High at home on Sept. 2, the East Lake Invitational at Palm Coast on Sept. 6
and the Alachua County Tournament at Gainesville Country Club on Oct. 9.
Columbia volleyball
Columbia’s volleyball team got a preseason look at a couple of district oppo-nents on Friday.
The Lady Tigers lost in two games to host Gainesville High, then beat Oakleaf High in two games.
Gainesville hosted the classic, which was moved from Monday to Friday in a last-minute change.

By RACHEL COHEN
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Spinning in 70 mph second serves, grabbing at his hamstrings, Andy Murray gritted his way through cramps to win his first-round match at the U.S. Open.
The eighth-seeded Murray beat Robin Haase 6-3, 7-6 (6), 1-6, 7-5 on a steamy Monday. He start-ed cramping in the back of his shoulder early in the third set, then it spread to his forearm.
Murray reached for his hamstring in the middle of one rally and still won the point. After hitting a win-ner, he’d twisted his body to awkwardly stretch his left side.
“I tried to hang around the best I could and man-aged to get through,” the two-time major champion said during an on-court interview.
Murray was twice down a break in the fourth set, but Haase unraveled with a string of unforced errors. The 70th-ranked Haase wasted three break points in the final game, when he was also hurt by a missed call.
Up 5-3 earlier in the set, Haase double-faulted on break point to allow Murray to get back on serve. Murray then went up 6-5 when he took Haase’s second serve high and whacked a forehand winner.
Venus Williams, 34, beat 43-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the day’s second match in
Ashe. Second-ranked Simona
Halep merited the honor of kicking off the tournament on center court. The stage proved imposing at first, and Halep needed to rally from a set down to beat a young American making her Grand Slam debut.
The Romanian won 6-7 (2), 6-1, 6-2 over 20-year-old Danielle Rose Collins. As a sophomore at Virginia, an unseeded Collins won the NCAA title to earn a wild card into the U.S. Open.
The French Open run-ner-up, Halep reached a career-high ranking of No. 2 this month. She has never advanced past the fourth round at the U.S. Open.
“My best moment of my life — I have to enjoy this,” she said in an on-court interview after the match. “But it’s not easy. There’s a lot of pressure on me. Everyone is telling me that I have chances to win.”
For Collins, she expect-ed to return 24 hours later to a far smaller venue: a college classroom.
Hobbled by injuries dur-ing the season, Collins rolled through the NCAA tournament to become the Cavaliers’ first women’s singles champion in May.
Sixth-seeded Angelique Kerber also needed three sets to outlast qualifier Ksenia Pervak 6-2, 3-6, 7-5, coming back from down a break in the third set.
F o u r t h - s e e d e d Agnieszka Radwanska had no such trouble. She beat Sharon Fichman 6-1, 6-0 in 47 minutes.

Fort White High head coach Demetric Jackson talks to the Indians after the kickoff classic game against Dixie County High in Cross City on Friday
Fort White leads the series 7-3, and the Indians are 4-0 under Jackson.
The only winner last year was the weather, as the game was postponed for a couple of hours because of lightning and ended up being canceled. No make-up date could be arranged.
Hamilton County fin-ished 3-6 in the regular season, but won the right games in District 5-1A. A 2-1 district mark with wins over Lafayette High and Jefferson County High off-set a loss to Branford High and established the Trojans as district champions.
In the playoffs, Hamilton County beat Bell High, 39-24, before losing to even-tual state champion Trenton High, 56-32.
Last year was the first at Hamilton County for coach Blair Armstrong.
Armstrong is the son of Bill Armstrong, who led Columbia High to a 14-5-1 record in 1949-50.
Armstrong is no stranger to the Florida playoffs. He led his alma mater, Jefferson County, to the state champi-onship game in 1982 where the Tigers of Monticello tied Clewiston High 13-13. Armstrong also made the playoffs with Munroe Day School of Quincy in 1998.
Prior to coming to Hamilton County, Armstrong spent 13 years as coach at four differ-ent schools in Georgia. At Peachtree Ridge High, he tied Roswell High in the state championship game.
Jackson’s wins over Hamilton County (2007-08, 11-12) have come in con-vincing fashion.
The Trojans last beat the Indians in 2006.

COURTESY
Members of the Gainesville Gold 12U girls fastpitch softball team are (front row, from left) Whitney Lee, Savannah Channel, Emily Barras, Lauren Hutcherson, Lucy Giebeig, Hallie Bryant and Adrianna Saavedra. Second row (from left) are Sierra Jevyak, Bryn Thomas, Hannah Foster, coach Jeremy McFayden, Lexi Kilfoyl, Story Giebeig and Kylee Barry. Back row coaches (from left) are Keith Foster, Megan Ryan, Todd Bryant and Drue Barry.
From staff reports
The Gainesville Gold 12U girls fastpitch softball team recently competed in the ASA National Tournament in Bloomington, Ind.
The Gold placed ninth in a field of 73 teams.
Lake City Middle School students Lauren
Hutcherson, Whitney Lee, Story Giebeig and Lucy Giebeig are members of the Gainesville Gold.
Coach Jeremy McFayden said of the Gainesville Gold: “This team is a very well-rounded team that has great pitching, excellent defense and a formidable offense that includes a
great combination of both speed and power. We had an outstanding spring sea-son which included the 12U ASA state championship and the 14U USSSA state championship. At the 12U ASA National Tournament, we finished in ninth place out of 73 of the best teams in the country.”
Gold 9th in nation
Expect to see better on Thursday. “Look at tape and play was bad,” Allen said. “Even down to our best guy, Zedrick (Woods), who had 15 tackles.” D
Secondary
Allen called Roger Cray the best corner in the state before the season, but the secondary led by
Cray didn’t live up to the Tigers’ usual expectations. “Just have to continue to improve,” Allen said. “Know the talent level of the team we’re going against compared to the talent we’re facing. We had some stops.” D
Special teams
The forgotten phase was
the strongest for Columbia with big returns on kick-offs, 5-of-5 on extra points, and a punt downed at the three.
“Four kids kicked at some point in that game,” Allen said. “Taking four kids into the package wasn’t always the case. I thought that they all kicked well, kickoff punt, PAT. All did a good job.” A

DEAR ABBY: I was engaged several years ago, but the engagement didn’t last. We broke up and I gave him back his ring. We remain close friends, how-ever, and hang out at least once a week.
I have been dating another guy for a couple of years, and we’re thinking about getting engaged. I am wondering if it would be improper to ask my ex if we could buy my old ring from him. It was -- and still is -- my “dream ring,” and I know my ex has kept it in the glove box of his car ever since I gave it back to him.
I don’t want to commit a faux pas, but it seems silly to buy another identical ring. What do you think? — HEADED DOWN THE AISLE
DEAR HEADED DOWN THE AISLE: If you haven’t discussed this with your current boyfriend, you should. It might bother him to see you wearing an engage-ment ring that was given to you by someone else. If he says it’s OK, I can’t see why you shouldn’t ask your former fiance if he’d be willing to part with it. Frankly, he might be glad to get the money.
DEAR ABBY: I have a love problem I could use your help with. I go to col-lege, and I met an amazing
girl, “Lorena,” here. She’s very religious, which I like about her. We have been talking, but I’m afraid to ask her out. I don’t have the best morals, and I’m afraid I would corrupt her if we did go out. I don’t want to make her into something she isn’t.
Should I let her be who she is, or take the risk of dating her and hope she’ll be happy? When I think about Lorena, I realize I’d do anything for her -- even change my life. Please tell me what to do. — WILD MAN IN KENT, OHIO
DEAR WILD MAN: Feeling as you do about Lorena, I think you should take the risk and ask her out. Because you would do “anything” for her, make it your top priority not to push her into anything you know wouldn’t be good for her. You wouldn’t be the first “wild man” to meet someone who made him want to be a better man. I wish you luck.
DEAR ABBY: I am a
woman in my 50s. My sister, who is also in her 50s, lives with me and has for several years. Could you please set-tle a dispute we are having?
She says that mail is pri-vate and when I bring my mail in from the mailbox, I should leave hers in the box. I say it is just common courtesy to bring all of it in at once and place it in a predetermined spot for the recipient. I am not saying that mail is not private, because it is. And I would never dream of opening anyone’s mail, but don’t you have to look at the envelope to know which person it belongs to?
So what do you think? Should it be left in the box or should I bring it all in? — STUMPED SISTER IN HOUSTON
DEAR SISTER: I think what you have been doing is both wise and prudent. Unless the mailbox has a lock on it, I would recom-mend bringing all the mail into the house as soon as possible after it’s delivered to prevent theft. However, because your sister is sensi-tive about it and asked that you leave it in the box for her to retrieve, you should do as she has requested.
HOROSCOPES
DEAR ABBY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be asser-tive and follow a hunch. A service or skill you have to offer can be turned into a lucrative business venture. Express your thoughts and put together a plan that will entice someone you’d like on your team. HHH
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make suggestions or discuss work-related matters with your peers. Your show of enthusiasm will help you gain respect and support. Don’t be afraid to use alter-native means or methods to improve your efficiency, knowledge or skills. Speak from the heart. HHHHH
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Look past the obvious. Situations will not be as they appear. An emotional setback will develop if you ignore what’s being said or done. Honesty and straight-forwardness along with moderation and practicality will help. Ask for approval before making changes at home. HH
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Look at your to-do list and choose what’s most important. Putting your energy where it counts will help you avoid criticism. An unexpected change in a relationship must be handled with care. Follow through with what-ever promise or commit-ment you make. HHHH
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take a closer look at your financial situation.
Overspending will lead to added stress. Practice moderation and look for cheaper ways to proceed with your plans. You may crave change, but stay with-in your means. HHH
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Feeling anxious is likely if you are uncertain about what others do or say. You are best to take a wait-and-see approach, especially where money matters are concerned. Don’t allow anyone to guilt you into parting with your cash. HHH
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Listen to and sum up the changes being suggest-ed. Look for a way to satisfy the people you care about or the cause you believe in without jeopardizing your position or disrupting your home and family life. Do your own fact-finding. HH
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will attract attention if you express your unique sug-gestions to your peers or someone who is in an influ-ential position. Spending too much time with anyone will lead to a misunder-standing. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you. HHHH
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21): False infor-mation from someone who isn’t trustworthy will set you back. Travel plans along with poor commu-nication will cause uncer-tainty and could ruin the strategy you put in place. Have a back-up plan ready to counter whatever comes your way. HH
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look, cal-culate and follow through with your plans. You can move into a strategic posi-tion that will allow you to make decisions that are sure to improve your stan-dard of living and future prospects. Say what’s on your mind. HHHHH
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look for any professional opportunities. A shift in the way you do things will intrigue and entice someone to consid-er forming a professional relationship with you that should allow you both to prosper. Romance is in the stars. HHH
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put pas-sion, greater effort and cal-culated plans into play, and you will get ahead person-ally and professionally. Size up what you have to offer and what’s being offered in return before you make a commitment. Emotional finagling is apparent. HHH
