SAN FRANCISCO
R obin Williams, the Academy Award winner and comic supernova
whose explosions of pop culture riffs and impressions dazzled audiences for decades and made him a gleamy-eyed laureate for the Information Age, died Monday in an apparent suicide. He was 63.
Williams was pronounced dead at his home in California on Monday, according to the sheriff’s office in Marin County, north of San Francisco. The sheriff’s office said a preliminary investigation shows the cause
of death to be a suicide due to asphyxia.
From his breakthrough in the late 1970s as the alien in the hit TV show “Mork and Mindy,” through his standup act and such films as “Good Morning, Vietnam,” the short, barrel-chested Williams ranted and shouted as if just sprung from solitary confinement. Loud, fast, manic, he parodied everyone from John Wayne to Keith Richards, impersonating a Russian immigrant as easily as a pack of Nazi attack dogs.
He was a riot in drag in “Mrs. Doubtfire,” or as a cartoon
genie in “Aladdin.” He won his Academy Award in a rare, but equally intense dramatic role, as a teacher in the 1997 film “Good Will Hunting.”
He was no less on fire in inter-views. During a 1989 chat with The Associated Press, he could barely stay seated in his hotel room, or even mention the film he was supposed to promote, as he free-associated about comedy and the cosmos.
“There’s an Ice Age com-ing,” he said. “But the good news is there’ll be daiquiris for everyone and the Ice Capades will be everywhere. The lob-
ster will keep for at least 100 years, that’s the good news. The Swanson dinners will last a whole millennium. The bad news is the house will basically be in Arkansas.”
Like so many funnymen, he had serious ambitions, winning his Oscar for his portrayal of an empathetic therapist in “Good Will Hunting.” He also played for tears in “Awakenings,” ‘’Dead Poets Society” and “What Dreams May Come,” something that led New York Times critic Stephen Holden to once say he dreaded seeing the actor’s “Humpty Dumpty grin and crin-
kly moist eyes.”Williams also won three
Golden Globes, for “Good Morning, Vietnam,” ‘’Mrs. Doubtfire” and “The Fisher King.”
His other film credits included Robert Altman’s “Popeye” (a box office bomb), Paul Mazursky’s “Moscow on the Hudson,” Steven Spielberg’s “Hook” and Woody Allen’s “Deconstructing Harry.” On stage, Williams joined fellow comedian Steve Martin in a 1988 Broadway reviv-al of “Waiting for Godot.”

Man shot while driving on I-95
JACKSONVILLE — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says a man is recovering after being shot while driv-ing on Interstate 95.
The shooting occurred late Sunday night near Golfair Boulevard in Jacksonville.
The man reportedly told police he was driving south on the interstate around 11 p.m. when someone in another vehicle started shooting at him.
Police say the man crashed after he was shot. Friends in another vehicle took him to a hospital, where he was treated for injuries that weren’t con-sidered life-threatening.
The sheriff’s office’s Violent Crimes Task Force is investigating.
Anyone with informa-tion is asked to call the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
Packing plant workers head back to court
NAPLES — Some 100 workers from a Naples
vegetable and fruit pack-ing plant have pleaded not guilty to charges related to using false IDs for employ-ment.
The case stems from the raid of a packing plant where the workers were detained, most of them presumed to be in the country illegally. The
workers did not attend Monday’s hearing in Naples.
Immigrant advocates have been critical of the raid by the state’s Division of Insurance Fraud. They say the state should focus on employers, when it comes to the unauthorized hiring of immigrants.

A Lake City man was arrested Saturday after knock-ing on his neighbor's door and greeting him with a punch in the face, according to reports.
Tracy Maurice Quattlebaum, 54, allegedly then entered the victim's home to try to fight him. The homeowner threatened to call CCSO if Quattlebaum didn't leave.
The victim told police that Quattlebaum was angry because he still owes him money from two years ago, according to an arrest report. The victim also said Quattlebaum was
severely intoxicated, making him violent.Columbia County Sheriff's Deputy Brian Lucas then
walked across the street to 3705 Sisters Welcome Road to speak with Quattlebaum, who, despite multiple requests, refused to keep his hands out of his pockets, the report said.
As a safety precaution, Lucas grabbed Quattlebaum and brought him to the ground as he continued to resist, the report said. Quattlebaum had to be forceful-ly handcuffed and arrested on charges of burglary and resisting an officer.
He was transported to the Columbia County Detention Facility and is being held on $26,000 bond.

A Lake City man pulled over for a missing taillight was arrested Sunday when police found synthetic marijua-na in his car cup holder, reports said.
Columbia County Sheriff's Deputy Brian Lucas had been conducting a routine traffic stop at Bascom Norris Drive and Lake Jeffery Road when he stopped 33-year-old Christopher Lee Harper's silver 2002 Volkswagen Jetta.
Lucas reported that when he shined his flashlight into the vehicle he could see what looked like a mari-
juana blunt in the cup holder between the driver and passenger seats.
After Harper was placed in handcuffs, he told Lucas that he had just bought the
car the day before and that the blunt was not his. Lucas said he looked at the blunt and it was still lit.
When Harper was placed in the back of a patrol car, Lucas took pos-session of the blunt but noticed that although the substance was leafy and green, it had no smell of marijuana.
Upon inspecting the vehicle, CCSO Officer Carpenter found a "Good Times" cigar wrapper, which he said Harper had tried to dispose of in the back seat. Inside the wrapper was more of the leafy green substance from inside the blunt.
The officers deduced that the sub-stance was K2, which is synthetic marijuana.
Harper was arrested and transport-ed to the Columbia County Detention Facility on charges of drug posses-sion and drug equipment possession. He was released Monday on $6,000 bond.

Harper
should pass muster with the judge.“It’s an excellent map that should
comply with the judge’s order,” said Rep. Richard Corcoran, R-Land O’Lakes and chairman of the com-mittee that came up with the revised districts.
Even with new districts in place, it’s not clear when they will be imple-mented. Lewis must still decide whether to call a special election for later this year. Legislative leaders have said they plan to oppose any effort to call one.
Voters in 2010 passed the “Fair Districts” amendment that says leg-islators cannot draw up districts to favor incumbents or a political party, a practice known as “gerry-mandering.” A coalition of groups, including the League of Women Voters, contended that the GOP consultants used a “shadow” pro-cess to draw districts that benefited Republicans.
Lewis agreed there was enough evidence to show that consultants helped make a “mockery” of the pro-cess and ruled that two districts were invalid. The two districts flagged by Lewis are a sprawling district that stretches from Jacksonville to
Orlando and is held by U.S. Rep. Corinne Brown, a Democrat, and a central Florida district held by U.S. Rep. Dan Webster, a Republican.
The new map alters those two dis-tricts, but also changes the boundar-ies for five other districts located in north and central Florida.
Senate Democrats offered their own alternate map that changed just three districts, but it was voted down on a 25-12 vote. Republicans contended that the Democratic map was unconstitutional because it low-ered the number of black voters in Brown’s district. The federal Voting Rights Act bars states from diluting the voting strength of minorities.

PORT LEYDEN, N.Y. — Kevin Ward Jr. was crafting a reputation as a wheel-man, the kind of driver who could race vehicles on any track without fear.
He’d sit up on his seat, floor it, and zip his way through a maze of cars straight toward the front of the pack.
For points. For fun. Often for little money.
“He would go to tracks that a lot of other drivers wouldn’t go to,” Chuck Miller, the race direc-tor and president for the Empire Super Sprints cir-cuit, said Monday. “If we had co-sanctioned races with other organizations where we really weren’t giving points or anything, but it was a deal where you wanted to see how you stacked up against the other competition, the Wards were willing to go and do that and see where they were at.”
16 years on the trackWard began racing
go-carts in 1998 at age 4. In 2010, he moved on to sprint cars and was Empire Super Sprint racing rookie of the year in 2012. The 20-year-old raced mostly on dirt tracks a few hours from his home in Port Leyden, a village of 700 in northern New York.
Ward was killed Saturday night about 140 miles away at a clay track in Canandaigua. NASCAR champion Tony Stewart was the big name in the field, racing with the young guys while he was in the area for a Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen the next day.
Ward and Stewart tan-gled, and Ward hit the wall. Ward walked on the track apparently to confront Stewart, and was struck when Stewart’s vehicle seemed to fishtail.
On Monday, several cars were parked in front of the Ward home in Port Leyden. A police officer stood across the street, politely asking reporters not to park on the road’s shoulder.
Helen McHale has lived across the street for 30 years and remembers hear-ing the noise when Ward raced go-carts. Kevin Ward Sr. runs a successful paint-ing business, and locals thought his son might make it big in the racing world.
“His dad goes to every race,” she said. “He’s a good kid, polite, big smile, and they’re a good family.”
Stewart and Ward shared a love of racing sprint cars: high-powered, winged cars built for running on short oval or circular dirt and paved tracks. Drivers have to hit the gas to turn, not necessarily use the wheel.
No criminal intentAfter the crash, Ward
was standing to the right of Stewart’s familiar No. 14 car on the dimly lit track. According to video and wit-ness accounts, Ward was struck by the right rear tire and hurtled through the air.
Authorities questioned the 43-year-old Stewart once on Saturday night and went to Watkins Glen to talk to him again Sunday. Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said that investigators don’t have any evidence at this point to support criminal intent. Povero said Monday there were no plans “at this time” to talk to Stewart again.
“At this time, there are no facts that exist that sup-port any criminal behav-ior or conduct, or that any probable cause of a crim-inal act, in this investiga-tion,” he said.
Povero said the autop-sy was completed Monday and found Ward died of blunt force trauma.
Stewart said Sunday “there aren’t words” to describe his sadness over Ward’s death.
Stewar t hasn’t announced whether he’ll drive in this weekend’s NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway, but his short track “hobby” is on hold. He won’t appear Saturday in a race in Warsaw, Indiana.
“It is still an emotional time for all involved, Tony included. He is grieving,
and grief doesn’t have a timetable,” spokesman Mike Arning said Monday.
Canandaigua Speedway promoter Jeremie Corcoran said the track has canceled Wednesday’s event to give “my family, staff, fans, and racing teams time to grieve and process all that has occurred.”
‘Anyone would want to beat [Tony Stewart]’
Driver Matt Tanner, a friend of Ward’s, was a few cars back from the colli-sion. Ward had been a good friend for years, a member of a small, tight group of drivers who traveled to various races around New York state, parts of Canada and Pennsylvania.
“I saw his car sitting there and when the ambu-lances pulled up I realized what was happening,” Tanner said.
He hasn’t watched the video and doesn’t plan to.
“Your emotions are run-ning so high. Stewart’s known for being competi-tive, and Kevin was just as competitive,” said Tanner.
So competitive that he’d take his life into his own hands by stepping into traf-fic in a black firesuit on a dark track?
No one will know for sure why Ward made the treacherous decision to stalk Stewart.
But perhaps he was inspired by Stewart him-self. Known for his volcanic temper, Stewart is among the drivers who made
highlight reels by tossing helmets at windshields or throwing punches at com-petitors. The action capti-vates fans and is part of NASCAR’s allure — and inspires the next genera-tion to mimic the bump-ing and brawling of their heroes.
What better way for a young driver to make a name for himself than being the one that stood up to Smoke?
Driver Cory Sparks, a fellow driver in Saturday’s race, said he and Ward became friends five years ago. He said Ward was aggressive and competitive and that the two men had “had our feuds” but that he was proud to call him a friend.
“I don’t want Kevin Ward to be remembered as a vic-tim in a Tony Stewart acci-dent,” he said. “He definite-ly had a future in this sport. He was a very aggressive driver. He was one hell of wheel man.”
Doug Elkins is a former race announcer who now writes about the sport. He had known Ward and his father for several years. Elkins said he hoped rules prohibiting drivers from getting out of their cars during races will be better enforced around the coun-try.
He hadn’t heard of any bad blood between Stewart and Ward.
“Anyone would want to beat him, Elkins said, “he’s Tony Stewart.”

BY JENNA FRYER | AP Auto Racing Writer
When Jason Leffler was killed in a sprint car crash last summer, Tony Stewart passionate-ly defended the grassroots racing of America.
When he triggered a 15-car accident a month later at an upstate New York race track that left a young girl with a fractured back, he took the blame and moved on to the next event. And when Stewart flipped his sprint car five times at a race in Canada, he
bristled at the suggestion he was taking unnecessary risks in his lucrative career.
Stewart didn’t once waver in his stance, even after breaking his right leg racing his sprint car last August. The injury side-lined him for six months, put his Stewart-Haas Racing organization under
considerable strain and again drew criticism over his extracurricular activities.
He remained undeterred, almost defiant. Racing sprint cars is Stewart’s passion. It’s his hunting and his fishing and his video games all rolled into one.
But now his hobby, racing on tiny little tracks in nondescript towns outside of a busy NASCAR sched-ule, is again being called into question. The three-time NASCAR champion struck and killed a 20-year-old racer who had climbed from his car Saturday night to confront Stewart on a New York dirt track following a crash caused by contact between the two cars.
Kevin Ward Jr. and Stewart were racing side-by-side for position at Canandaigua Motorsports Park when Stewart, on the bottom, seemed to slide toward Ward’s car and crowd him toward the wall. The rear tire of Stewart’s car appeared to clip the front tire of Ward’s car, and Ward spun into the fence.
Ward, wearing a black firesuit and black helmet, climbed from the car and walked onto the track pointing in Stewart’s direction. One car had to swerve to avoid hitting him before Stewart got to Ward. Although the front of Stewart’s car passed Ward, it appeared the young driver was struck by the right rear tire and hurtled through the air.
Hours later, Stewart pulled out of the race at Watkins Glen. A second year the race would go on without him.
“There aren’t words to describe the sadness I feel about the accident that took the life of Kevin Ward Jr.,” Stewart said in a statement.
There’s no doubt that Stewart, so gruff and easily irritable on the outside but so charitable and compas-sionate on the inside, is heartbroken. He can be a bull in a china shop on the track, and he’ll never escape his quick-tempered, retaliatory reputation.
But Stewart would never intentionally try to hit another human being with his race car. He may lose his temper and shove a driver or throw a helmet or spin a rival on the track, but Stewart doesn’t run over aspiring young shoes.
Stewart was devastated at the hit sprint car racing took last summer, when Leffler and two other drivers were killed, followed by his high-profile accidents. There’s no chance he would have willingly opened grassroots racing up to another round of scorn.
Why, though? Why does Stewart go back to race for $1,500 here, $3,000 there, against a field of drivers of varying ages and talent levels?
Because it’s where he came from and it’s what he loves. Being a NASCAR superstar pays Stewart’s bills, but the Sprint Cup is his roots.
It’s his life and he’s going to live it anyway he pleas-es. Take him or leave him, but that’s the essence of Smoke. He’s true to himself and true to his roots, and the one thing he loves most in his life will now haunt him forever.

A s you’ve likely heard by now, in a small city in south central Russia, a gang of computer crimi-
nals has amassed a huge cache of stolen Internet credentials. They’ve swiped a mind-boggling 1.2 billion user name and password combina-tions, The New York Times reports. And more than 500 million email addresses.
As of late last week, the crooks hadn’t sold many records online, the paper reported. Instead, they’re collecting fees for using the stolen information to send spam on social networks like Twitter.
We imagine that many people around the world heard the news that their personal digital info had been hijacked by a Russian gang with ... a weary shrug.
Sure, this latest Internet heist sounds globally ominous. And per-sonally disturbing. Yes, tech experts were out in force, advising people to change their passwords again. But this massive breach comes:
— After many people already had changed them after last year’s mas-sive credit card breach at Target stores.
— And after the major eBay hack that prompted the company to urge users to change passwords.
— And after the massive Heartbleed virus in April scared the bejesus out of millions of Americans because the virus attacked major bank and other Internet sites via servers — allowing thieves to mimic those sites or lift users’ per-sonal information or do whatever nefarious things that computer hackers do with such access.
In the aftermath of Heartbleed, many people scrambled to change passwords and flooded customer service agents at banks and other large companies with questions that elicited vague assurances that their systems were not affected, but that you might just want to go ahead and change your password anyway, for peace of mind.
Those kinds of wan assurances give no one peace of mind.
Anyway, back to the Russians. As these heists get bigger and big-ger — at least the ones we know about — and the thieves grow more and more brazen, we expect that a password change today won’t be the last one. Many people may play the
odds — if the Russians have nearly everyone’s data, what’s the chance they’ll try to use mine?
We don’t know if that is a sound strategy or just our growing resis-tance to changing passwords with every cyber alarm. Password prolif-eration over the past decade means that many a person scribbles a long list of passwords lest he or she forget them ... and then stores the list, hoping that it can’t be as easily stolen. And yes, confident entrepre-neurs assure us, there are password protectors online. Uh-huh. What could possibly go wrong?
The day can’t come too soon that all of our Internet accounts are linked to fingerprints, voice, facial or retina scans — a DNA strand? — that cannot be easily hacked or stolen. But given the fact that we’re talking about systems engineered by fallible humans, we’re pretty sure that ingenious thieves will find a way to hack those, too.
Meanwhile, the disturbing but inescapable fact is: Everyone is at risk. But at least there’s some com-fort in having all that company.

T he last-second redistricting job ordered by a Tallhassee judge could have led to electoral disas-ter for Columbia County. It now
appears we may escape this bizarre epi-sode unscathed.
Congressional District 3, where we live, wasn’t in violation of the law and required no tinkering whatsoever. Still, the state’s congressional map is like a giant jigsaw puzzle, and redrawing Districts 5 and 10, which were declared illegal, could have caused a ripple effect in Lake City and beyond.
There are two ways things could have gone wrong.
Under the first scenario, Columbia County gets split into two districts.
That could make any given representa-tive less responsive to our needs than if we were a single, united voting bloc.
The second scenario involves Gainesville, the home base of our cur-rent congressman, Ted Yoho. In redraw-ing the map, the Legislature could have left Columbia County alone but snipped Gainesville out of District 3, meaning come November we would be represented by somebody else.
Who that might be we can’t say.But we can say this.Yoho has been highly visible in our com-
munity and has responded promptly to our needs.
All in all, he’s done a good job repre-senting Columbia County’s values in the United States Congress.
We’d just as soon not chance it with an unknown quantity if we can help it.

‘Slashed’ or not: I’m still puzzled
T O D A Y I N H I S T O R Y
On this date:In 1867, President Andrew Johnson sparked a move
to impeach him as he defied Congress by suspending Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton.
In 1912, comedy producer Mack Sennett founded the Keystone Pictures Studio in Edendale, Calif.
A fter the Thursday paper did an article on dual enrollment I submitted an opinion piece titled
“Slashed,” which follows. The Sunday article and editorial (“A puz-zling change in policy”) left me puz-zled as well, thinking the new policy is clear — as mud.
• • •
“The use of the word ‘slash’ was inappropriate, misleading and a prime example of sensational jour-nalism.”
These are the words of our super-intendent, Terry Huddleston, in a Facebook debate that took place on Thursday just hours after the article was published, in reference to the headline. I posed the follow-ing questions to Mr. Huddleston to clear up any “misleading” details in the article.
Mr. Huddleston, 1) Is it true that students will
require a 3.5 GPA to qualify for dual enrollment?
2) If yes, how many or what per-cent of students with a 3.0 - 3.4999+ that have passed the PERT will this affect?
3) With the proposed changes how many students will this remove from the dual enrollment program, how many will remain?
4) For the students now in the program that are succeeding with a 3.0 - 3.4999+GPA won’t this new policy be punitive?
5) Would it be possible to set up academic probation for stu-dents who fail to make the grade? Let’s say they make a “D” or “F,”
remove them from the program for a semester. If they want back in after a semester they should have to buy their way back in (tuition and books). If the student succeeds then they could be placed back in the program. However, should they fail again they should be perma-nently removed from the program. (Everyone deserves a second chance — on their dime).
6) Last question: Is this ultimately about the money, and if it is what are we telling our students and out community if we are not willing to invest in the futures of our stu-dents?
7) Added after Sunday’s articles: Can we please just have a standardized policy that applies to all students in the program?
I have received no response to
these questions and the Sunday article does little to address these questions.
In the hours since posing these questions to Mr. Huddleston I have learned that the Columbia County School District has failed to file their Articulation Agreement with Florida Gateway College. This vital document was due August 1. Every other school district served by Flor-ida Gateway College has filed their
Articulation Agreements with no demands such as the ones the Columbia County School District is seeking.
Additionally, the eligibility re-quirements for dual enrollment are set by Florida Statute and the school district has no authority to make changes to dual enrollment eligibility requirements. Only a Florida College System board of trustees is permitted to establish eli-gibility requirements in addition to those specified in s.1007.271, F.S.
Across their service area FGC awarded over 60 AA degrees this past year. If you have a child who is interested in dual enrollment in Columbia County then you need to attend the school board meet-ing tonight at 7 p.m. at the district office. If our district implements these changes it will have a huge negative impact on your child’s edu-cational opportunities.
In the end I believe this boils down to financial management or mismanagement. With all the oth-er school districts in the FGC ser-vice area on board with no eligibility changes, why is our district attempt-ing to place such rigid demands and restrictions on our students’ ability to dual enroll? Is it financial, and if so why are we the only county in the FGC service area in this situa-tion?
Ultimately if the district gets away with making these changes, it will “slash” the dual enrollment program in Columbia County. I strongly sug-gest contacting your school board member and let your concerns be known. Your child’s future just may depend on it.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE: Rick Bacon, former Lake City Re-porter Publisher, wrote his own obituary. Bacon died of lung cancer on Aug. 7, 2014. He was 67. It was his wish his inal state-ment be published in its entirety.
Richard Norton(Rick) Bacon
LUMBERTON, N.C.— Rich-ard Norton Bacon (Rick) of Lumberton has left the building. His friends will tell you he’s in a better place. The rest will say they can smell the Bacon burning. He is stress-free and at peace. The curtain came down on Thurs-day night at South-eastern Re-gional Med-ical Center. He is survived by his loving wife of 29 years, Candace Smith Bacon. He is also survived by his son Jonathan Ba-con and wife Beth of High Point; daughter Melody Kearse of Rock Hill, S.C., and son Bry-an Kearse and wife Liz of Ra-leigh. Five grandchildren made his life better with their visits.
Rick loved dogs. Trixie, Richie, James Brown Beans and Mr. Woo were the last in a long line of hairy hogs that shared his bed and his affection. He was born in Auburn, N.Y., July 16, 1947, the son of the late Elizabeth Dun-ster Bacon and Frederick Neil Bacon. He was also pre-deceased by a brother, Ted. He drifted south from upstate New York in 1962 to the moun-tains of North Carolina, where he graduated without honors in the class of ‘65 at East Yancey High School. After one undis-tinguished year at the Univer-sity of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Rick enlisted in the Unit-ed States Air Force. He became a Morse intercept operator and spent two and a half years overseas in Turkey and Italy. After another failed college attempt at Mars Hill College, Rick got his start in media at WKYK radio in Burnsville, N.C. From radio it was on to newspaper, where Rick spent 26 years publishing newspapers, moving from state-to-state look-ing for a town that would keep him. From Spruce Pine, N.C. to Barnwell, S.C. to Lake City, Fla., he survived buying a Buick LeSabre (the oficial car of geezers) and a heart attack that convinced him it was time to
leave Florida unless he wanted to die young. He headed back to North Carolina to live and work in Rockingham and Lum-berton, where he had a good life. Rick was a Rotarian for over 25 years. He served as presi-dent of the Rockingham Ro-tary Club in 2012-13 and was proud of the work that Rota-ry did in the community and around the world. He was a two-time Paul Harris Fellow. In March of 2014, Rick was diagnosed with lung cancer. He celebrated with yet another trip to a Cincinnati Reds game. If you knew Rick, you knew that he was a loyal Reds fan since the late ‘50s without ever living a day in Ohio. He often said, “There’s no explaining taste.”Cremation will take place at the family’s convenience and his ashes will be kept in an urn, passed from family member to family member until no one can remember what’s in the jar. Everyone who remembers Rick is asked to celebrate his life in their own way; telling a ‘He wasn’t so bad’ or ‘What an ass’ story of their choos-ing. Boiled shrimp and a bev-erage of your choice should be part of any celebration. Instead of lowers, Rick would hope that you will do an unex-pected act of kindness for some
less fortunate soul. Rick liked to buy food for the car behind him in the drive-thru lane, or a meal for a military couple (if he could do it without them knowing who paid). That’s a lot cheaper than lowers. A memorial luncheon in Rick’s honor will be held in Lum-berton on Saturday, Aug. 23, 2014 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Pier 41 Seafood. Adult beverag-es will follow at widow Can-dy’s house on Camellia Lane. To the crooks reading this: We left an armed guard and the four killer dogs home from the luncheon. If you come to steal, they will hurt you.

AUDREY SIKES CITY CLERK
CITY OF LAKE CITY
he saw him, I’m sure. The boy was just too close to the darn car.”
In his 63 years of racing experience, Lindsey said he has seen plenty of people mad, but has never seen anyone die over it. He raced the NASCAR circuit from 1954 to 1956, when he was third in the point standings, he said.
After wrecking and getting hurt, he took a break, and now races vintage race cars in Lake City as a mem-ber of the Antique Racing Association.
“This is really the way it has been going for years,” Lindsey said. “Guys just get mad and throw things. Helmets, fingers — whatever.”
Robert Hart, owner of North Florida Speedway on Racetrack Road in Lake City, said that to his knowl-edge, this kind of incident has never led to a fatal result in the area.
The track is open nearly every Saturday and runs late models, pure stocks, box stocks, emods, mods, street stocks, sportsmen and road hoggs. On occasion, sprint cars come to visit.
“We have had people get out of their cars and shake their fists or whatever, but never run onto the track,” he said. “Our drivers seem to know that they can get hurt that way.”
Hart said sometimes racers get heated up so fast there is little anyone can do to stop them. He said that the best thing to do is red flag the race before a driver can do something foolish.
“Sometimes people are so angry that they aren’t thinking clearly, so it’s best to just stop the race,” Hart said.
Robert Ford, previous manager of North Florida Speedway, said that you see a little bit of everything when you’re around a racetrack, but that things like this shouldn’t happen.
“A driver should never get out of their car on the racetrack,” he said. “You should stay in your car until the race is red flagged.”
He said at many speedways, a driver would have been disqualified for doing what Ward did. However, Stewart himself has done it, and on more than one occasion.
Fain Skinner, a 29-year-old Live Oak racer, said that he has even seen drivers black flagged because mem-bers of their pit crew entered the track.
He has been racing for 20 years throughout Florida, and even drove in a NASCAR Nationwide race in 2011. After winning the World Karting Association champi-onship at 15, he started competing in stock cars. He was the 2003 FASCAR Sunbelt Super Series Rookie of the Year.
“Every track is different, but it’s just something you should never do,” Skinner said. “People do it and usually they get kicked out for it, but they never killed because they never get that close to the cars.”
Authorities are still investigating, but say there seems to be no evidence of criminal intent on Stewart’s part.
The crash occurred around 10:30 p.m., and while Ward is plainly visible in amateur video of the incident, even many cell phone cameras are more sensitive to light than the human eye.
“Just because we can see him doesn’t mean a driver could,” said Jason McMillan of Live Oak, who has been racing stock cars on dirt in North Florida and South Georgia since 1998.
McMillan said he thinks Stewart, whose car was fol-lowing another racer who swerved to miss Ward, may just not have had time to react.
“It’s like driving on the interstate and the guy in front of you swerves real fast to miss a recap and you hit it,” he said.
He added that during a caution, drivers take time to check their gauges and aren’t always looking at the track.
As for climbing out of a car in anger, “it kind of touches home a little bit,” McMillan said, admitting he once got out of his car after a crash to fight with anoth-er driver. “Lucky something like that didn’t happen then,” he said.
Paul Clayton of Lake City, who spends much of his time at North Florida Speedway as a member of a pit crew, said what happened was a tragic accident.
“This is one of those things where the victim put himself in harm’s way,” Clayton said. “These kinds of things hurt racing, it puts a black eye on the sport.”
Clayton said that he believes all speedways should take this as an opportunity to emphasize safety rules for racing and remind people not to walk near the track.
“The racing community is a big family,” he said. “And regardless of why it happened, we are all grieving for Kevin Ward together.”

Sprint cars have a very high horsepower-to-weight ratio, reaching speeds in excess of 140 miles per hour in a short amount of time. The safety record of sprint car racing in recent decades has been greatly improved by several new mandatory safety regulations.

The Lake Shore Hospital Authority Board plans to reduce its proposed tax levy to .962 mills in its upcoming $9.2 million fiscal budget. The .962 mills is a reduction from the tentative 1.5 mill-age rate that was adopted by the board during its July meeting. Last year’s adopted rate was also .962 mills.
Board members reached a consensus on the millage rate after hearing a pre-sentation by Richard Powell, the board’s accountant, during a budget workshop that took place before the regular meet-ing where Powell unveiled the board’s proposed $9,214,975 budget.
Jack Berry, LSHA executive director, said the board was able to suggest a
lower millage rate because its indigent care program saved $700,000 during fiscal year 2014.
“We were able to cut down on the number (of patients) and cut sprawl out of the system and we were just more efficient,” he said, citing the LSHA indi-gent care program, prescription drug program and reduction in the number of its clients being served in the emergen-cy room as factors.
Berry said implementing the .962 millage rate rather than the 1.5 millage rate will save Columbia County taxpay-ers and estimated $1.2 million.
Berry said the board could lower the millage rate even below last year’s rate, but would have to go into its reserves and the board wants to retain about $5 million there. He said if the com-pany leasing the hospital pulled out of its agreement with the board, $5 mil-lion would run the hospital for about a month.
LSHA to keep millage rate at .962 — same as last yearFigure is reduction from tentative rate set in July.From staff reports
The next major political forum for the August pri-mary election is scheduled for 6 p.m. today.
The event, sponsored by the Columbia County Republican Executive Committee, will be held at the Mason City Community Center, 11110 S. US Highway 441.
Both Republican and Democrat candidates run-ning for county positions, city council and school board seats are allowed to speak at the forum, said Buddy Hines, the head of the Columbia County Republican Executive Committee.
The event is free.
Political forum tonight
later this year.Attempts to reach Lilker
and Lemley late Monday were unsuccessful.
Marc Vann said he requested the information from Berry after a public records request was filed for Berry’s credit report.
“I just asked Jack to come up with something that would give us an indication of how many public records requests we have had over the last 2 - 3 years and to give us some indi-cation of how much involve-ment the public as a whole has been in the number of requests we’ve had,” he said. “We’re also in a lawsuit right now over some of these very same things and I have no idea of how much taxpayer money is being wasted every time (LSHA attorney Marlin Feagle) has to be called saying whether we are allowed to give this information or not. I asked him to see if he can compile how much taxpayer money is being thrown away on legal fees because of public records requests that are nobody’s business to start with.”
Berry said if the labor costs were included in the amounts, it would costs the board 2-3 times as much as they charge to fill the requests.
“What irritates me worse than anything in the world, is that these people are cost-ing the taxpayers a bunch of money,” he said following the meeting. “They are reducing the efficiency within our office and they’re sitting in a (LSHA Board) meeting laughing about it. They think it’s funny to raise taxpayer money, but yet they call everybody else crooks.”
In 2009 the LSHA spent $175 in public records requests, Berry said. He said the board has spent about $13,000 on legal consult-ing fees for public records requests so far in 2014.
Berry said there have been several instances where pub-lic records requests were pro-cessed and not collected by the person who requested the information. Then a few days later the person would file another public records request and collect the information and leave the initial information at the office without paying.
Feagle said there is no mechanism in place for the LSHA to recoup the costs of the documents that were never collected.
“This is a clear cut case of harassment,” Berry said.
Board member Koby Adams suggested the board establish a set policy to handle public requests by having the requests go through Feagle, but Berry said only a limited number of the requests are involved by Feagle.
Berry said he implemented a new policy for public records requests Friday, but did not elaborate on how it will work.

The Great Suwannee River Cleanup began with an idea to clean up the Suwannee from the Georgia state line all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Building on three successful years of clean up, last year’s efforts expanded to include the Suwannee’s tributaries. The riv-ers that flow into the Suwannee suffer the same fate when trash and harmful garbage accumulate on river bottoms and along riv-erbanks.
Last year, divers scoured river bottoms as volunteers worked on the river banks to remove literally thousands of pounds of trash. It’s time to do it again this year.
Volunteers are needed to organize cleanups on the Suwannee, the Santa Fe, the Withlacoochee and the Ichetucknee riv-ers.
The 2014 cleanup will occur during a three-month window from September through November along the Suwannee River and its tributaries.
Businesses, civic clubs, fishing and boat-ing groups, churches, government agencies, non-profits, chambers of commerce, and groups of friends are all encour-aged to participate. Go to the event map at http://tinyurl.com/mwa2pjk to determine your section based on mileposts and GPS coordinates. Then register your group, the date of your cleanup, and your river section online at http://tinyurl.com/l9pntwn. Shortly after registration, your cleanup will appear on the event map.
If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Current Problems’ Executive Director Fritzi Olson at 352-215-7554 or e-mail her at [email protected].

Golfer Roy McIlroy captured his fourth major tournament win on Sunday winning the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky. on Sunday.
By TIM KIRBY
FORT WHITE — Fort White High football is look-ing to reload in 2014, but the Indians used a lot of shells last year.
“Touchdown produc-tion lost,” Fort White head coach Demetric Jackson summed up his concerns going into the season. “We lost about 95 percent of our touchdowns.”
Jackson is not poor-mouthing.
Fort White scored 41 touchdowns in 2013 and 33 were scored by three grad-uating seniors. Add in four other touchdowns scored by seniors and one by an underclassman who did not return and that tallies to 92.6 percent.
The Indians also gradu-ated more than 2,500 rush-ing yards.
“We only have three returning who got any touchdowns,” Jackson said. “The challenge is to get guys to make it happen this year.”
The three returnees with touchdowns — Cameron White (fumble recov-ery on defense), Blair Chapman (rushing) and Christian Helsel (recep-tion) — will get the oppor-tunity. White will start at tailback with Chapman at fullback and Helsel at tight end.
Chapman and Helsel were two-way starters last year and White saw some time at tailback.
At fullback in 2013, Chapman carried the ball 34 times for 210 yards. He caught 11 passes for 123 yards. Helsel had seven catches for 87 yards. White gained 71 yards on 13 car-ries.
“Cameron has the physi-
cal ability, but has not had a lot of reps,” Jackson said. “Blair returns at fullback and that is an upgrade for the position. Helsel is back at tight end.”
Tyler Reed and Jabari Rivers are working at tail-back. Justin Asuncion and C.J. McCoy are at fullback. Asuncion is the only one with varsity carries last year.
J.T. Byrne and Shannon Showers are the X and 2 wideouts (“split end and flanker for you,” Jackson explained). Elijah Bryant and Bryson Brady also are seeing time at wide receiv-er.
On the offensive line, returning starter Brason Caley has moved from left tackle to center. The right side has returning start-ers in Randall Fraddosio at guard and Dre Brown at tackle. Jaron Queen at left guard and Nathan Thomas at left tackle will be counted on to replace key linemen.
McIlroy joins elite club
By PAUL NEWBERRY
Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bobby Jones. Jack Nicklaus. Tiger Woods.
And, now, Rory McIlroy.He certainly doesn’t look
out of place.Joining an exclusive club
in the twilight at Valhalla Golf Club, McIlroy sur-vived his toughest test yet on the big stage and gave every indication that he’s worthy of a spot alongside the greats of the game.
“I was happy being a two-time major champion com-
ing into the year,” McIlroy said. “All of a sudden I’m a four-time major champion.”
That’s where those other three — Jones, Nicklaus, Woods — come in.
Until Sunday, they were the only players in the last century to win four majors at 25 or younger. McIlroy joined them with a victory that showed he’s not just the ultimate front-runner.
The kid can come from behind, too.
McIlroy went into the final round one shot ahead. By the time he stood in the 10th fairway, he was three strokes behind against an All-Star cast — Phil Mickelson, a five-time major champion; Rickie Fowler, runner-up at both the U.S.
Open and the British Open; and Henrik Stenson, a perennial contender in the majors.
That’s when McIlroy unleashed a shot that he’ll surely be remembered for as long as he plays the game — a 3-wood from 284 yards on the par-5 hole. He insisted that when it left the club, it was about 30 feet lower than he wanted, and about 15 yards left of his intended target. But it worked out just the fine, the ball stopping 7 feet from the flag to set up an eagle that got him right back in the game.
“You need a little bit of luck in major champion-ships to win,” he said, “and that was my lucky break.”
Golfer joins 3 others to win four majors before 25.
Indians must replace 95% of touchdowns.

Page Editor: Emogene Graham, 754-0415 LAKE CITY REPORTER ADVICE & COMICS TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2014 3B
DEAR ABBY: I’m a single woman in my late 30s and have an 18-year-old daughter. When I am alone or out with my girl-friends, I am constantly hit on by younger men. My girlfriends say it’s because I don’t look my age and that I should feel flattered. Well, I am not a “cougar,” and I don’t get turned on by younger men. I find it offensive when I am approached by them.
While my single friends are being asked on roman-tic dates by professional older men, I’m being asked on dates by struggling college boys who have no car, no job and cramped living quarters with three other roommates. Give me a break!
It has reached the point that I just pretend to be married. But it’s starting to bother me that mature men don’t find me attrac-tive. I have stopped want-ing to go out because of this. What should I do? — IN A FUNK IN FRESNO
DEAR IN A FUNK: Where’s your sense of humor? Instead of telling these young men you’re married, why not tell them something closer to the truth -- that you’re old enough to be their mother and ask if they happen to have a single uncle.
Seriously, if the only men who pay attention to you are men in their early 20s, your problem may be the way you’re packaging the product you’re trying to sell. Your makeup, hair-style and attire may send the wrong message, and that’s why men in your target demographic aren’t showing an interest. Talk to your friends about this and see what they have to offer.
DEAR ABBY: I have a stressful job but do not work “regular” hours. I also care for my aged mother, which is like hav-ing another job. Because of this, I have little time to myself or to relax. During warm weather I enjoy taking an occasional break on my back deck, whether reading materials for work, enjoying a novel or catching a quick nap. Frequently, I’ll transact business on my cellphone.
Anytime my neighbor sees me sitting on my
deck, he’ll come out of his house. He thinks it’s funny to say things like, “Boy, I wish I could be like you and not have to work,” or “Must be nice to just sit around.”
The first few times it was funny, but I no longer find it humorous -- especially when I’m stressed out about work or my mother. Yesterday I warned him, “Don’t go there!”
How can I nicely let my neighbor know his joke is now stale and no longer appropriate? With all the pressure I’m under, he’s making even a quick break stressful. — BEHIND THE 8-BALL IN OHIO
DEAR BEHIND THE 8-BALL: Your neighbor may be a tad jealous of what he perceives as all your free time, or he may be a one-joke wonder who’s trying to be friendly. But the nicest and most direct way to get your mes-sage across would be to explain that you’re not only working from home, but also caring for your moth-er -- and when you take these breaks, SOLITUDE is necessary.
HOROSCOPES
DEAR ABBY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take pride in what you do and finish what you start. Participating in events that include your peers will bring good results and build strong alliances. A change in position is apparent if you share your thoughts and ideas. HHH
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stand up to whatever opposition you face. A change may be required if you want to get ahead. Letting anyone stand between you and your success will lead to regrets. Let your intuition guide you and call in favors. HHHH
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Learn from the experts and your own past experience and bring about changes at home or at work that will make you feel good about your accomplishments. Discuss your intentions with those most affected by your deci-sions. HHHHH
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Accepting change will be required. Use your skills wisely and take whatever time required to improve what you have to offer. Keeping up with the times will make a difference to how successful you will be in the future. HHH
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take care of respon-sibilities without making a fuss. A joint money matter will raise emotional issues
that are best addressed before the situation esca-lates. Good fortune is with-in reach if you are willing to accept and incorporate change. HHH
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stick to facts. If you deviate from the truth, someone will question you. Plan your actions transpar-ently and you will receive support rather than opposi-tion. A responsible attitude will give you more leeway to do as you please. HHH
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Make plans for the future. Indulge in events that will bring you in con-tact with interesting people who can help you further your interests. A partner-ship will bring positive changes to your life. Think big and take a leap of faith. HHH
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Unusual changes to the way you live are favored as long as you don’t go overboard. Stick to a good nutritious diet and refrain from tak-ing on too much at once. Take advantage of oppor-tunities that require disci-pline. HHHHH
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Look at the big picture and see how
you can manipulate the opportunities that head your way without jeopar-dizing what you already have. You’ll have to walk a fine line when it comes to truth and emotional encounters. HH
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Rely on your practical, no-nonsense approach to life, love and happiness and you will succeed. The energy and effort you put into your work will result in greater recognition and job securi-ty. Love and romance are highlighted. HHHH
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Handle your relationships with others carefully. You have a lot to gain if you are open about what you are willing to contribute. Don’t allow anyone to guilt you into something that will take away from your success. Embrace change and you will succeed. HHH
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Indulge in something unique and dif-ferent. The way you handle money matters, contracts or legal proceedings will determine your future fortune. You don’t have to be aggressive, but you do have to wield an authorita-tive attitude. Clear think-ing and creative solutions are favored. HHH
