AROUND FLORIDAPlan approved for teacher raises
TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s teachers are going to get a pay raise, but it won’t be coming until next year.
House and Senate bud-get negotiators finished their work late Sunday night. One of the last items agreed to was a pay raise package for the state’s teachers.
But the raise won’t take effect until June 2014. And it won’t be an across-the-board, $2,500 raise like Gov. Rick Scott initially recommended.
Instead, teachers ranked as effective will be eligible for a $2,500 pay raise, while those ranked as highly effective would be eligible for $3,500. Teacher performance would be linked to student achieve-ment, but the final plan would be developed and approved by each school board.
Scott issued a statement applauding the deal, saying it should still lead to most teachers getting raises.
Florida Education Association President Andy Ford also praised the deal because it means that additional money will be going to the state’s schools.
But House Democratic Leader Perry Thurston, D-Plantation, said the deal was a “slap in the face” to teachers because they will have to wait more than a year to get the raises.
Lawmakers have set aside a total of $480 million for the raises, which would also be available to princi-pals, assistant principals, librarians and guidance counselors.
It’s part of an overall $1 billion increase for educa-tion that legislators set aside in the proposed $74 billion budget.
Cyberbullying bill clears Senate
TALLAHASSEE — A bill meant to crack down on cyberbullying has cleared the state Senate and is headed to Gov. Rick Scott.
The measure was passed by the Senate on a 37-0 vote Monday. It cleared the House earlier.
The bill (HB 609) would expand the authority of public schools to discipline students for cyberbully-ing done through use of a school computer, at a school-sponsored activity or on a school bus.
The bill defines “cyber-bullying” as harassment through the use of com-puters, technology or elec-tronic communications.
Man dies in mobile home fire
OCALA — Fire rescue officials in Marion County say a man died in a mobile home fire.
Marion County Fire Rescue responded to the
fire just before 5 a.m. Monday. They found about half of the single-wide mobile home on fire.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports neighbors told fire-fighters one person lived in the home. Firefighters found his body inside.
Officials say the man is in his mid-30s.
3 dead, 2 injured in crash
LAKELAND — Authorities say three peo-ple are dead and two are injured after two vehicles collided in an intersection.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office says a speeding pickup truck collided with a car early Sunday in Lakeland.
Sheriff’s office spokes-woman Carrie Eleazer says the pickup truck’s driver was hospitalized with sev-eral broken bones.
The car’s driver and two passengers were killed and another passenger was hospitalized in critical condition.

Michael Jordan weds for second time
Miichael Jordan got married over the weekend, with Tiger Woods, Spike Lee and Patrick Ewing
among those attending the NBA Hall of Famer’s wedding in Palm Beach.
Jordan married 35-year-old former model Yvette Prieto on Saturday, manager Estee Portnoy told The Associated Press on Sunday.
The 50-year-old Jordan owns the Charlotte Bobcats.
Nearly 300 guests were present as they exchanged vows. The reception took place at a private golf club in Jupiter designed by Jack Nicklaus. Jordan owns a home near the course.
Entertainment included DJ MC Lyte, singers K’Jon, Robin Thicke and Grammy Award winner Usher and The Source, an 18-piece band.
The six-time NBA champion and Prieto met five years ago and were engaged last December.
Jordan had three children with for-mer wife Juanita Vanoy. The couple’s divorce was finalized in December 2006.
Country star Jason Aldean files for divorce
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jason Aldean has filed for divorce.
The country music star filed the complaint for divorce against his wife Jessica on Friday afternoon in Williamson County, Tenn., citing irrecon-cilable differences.
The two met in high school and have been married since August 2001.
“This is a really tough time for my entire family,” Aldean said in a state-ment Monday afternoon. “Jessica
and I have been together since we were teenagers. We’ve been through a lot of ups and downs over the years as we grew up together as a couple. She will always be important to me because she is the mother of my children, and I know that we will both always make our daughters our (hash)1 priority.”
Aldean’s publicist confirmed last week the couple had separated after media reports surfaced. The filing comes six months after Aldean was photographed while appearing to kiss former “American Idol” contes-tant Brittany Kerr in a Los Angeles bar. Aldean later apologized to fans on Twitter for acting inappropriately.
Aldean and his wife met while in school in Macon, Ga., and were married long before Aldean found fame. He is country’s top-selling male act, one of its top touring draws and recently won the Academy of Country Music’s male vocalist of the year award. Aldean and his wife have two young daughters together,

Swift buys R.I. mansion for $17.75 million
WESTERLY, R.I. — There is some celebrity watching going on in Watch Hill.
The Providence Journal reports that a seaside mansion in the Westerly neighborhood sold on Friday for $17.75 million.
The celebrity web site TMZ says singer Taylor Swift bought a home in the neighborhood this weekend.
James Michelove, owner of Seaboard Properties, tells the Journal that the home is well over 10,000 square feet, on an almost 6-acre lot that overlooks Block Island Sound and Little Narragansett Bay.
But Michelove says a confidential-ity agreement prevents him from saying who purchased the home.

Firefighters decontaminate a comrade who investigated a suspicious letter that caused evacuation of the state’s Highway Safety Building on Monday in Tallahassee.

and one of them once sat where the current fourth-graders were Monday night.
“We’ve been practic-ing every Thursday after school, “ said Diya Patel, Westside Elementary stu-dent and self-titled math genius. “So the questions were what we expected, but the numbers were dif-ferent.”
She and her teammates — Gabe McCoy, Mason Gray and Ty Wehinger — all said they felt nervous before going on stage, but attributed their confidence to their extracurricular activities. The boys played baseball and Diya sang in a chorus. Gray attributed his buzzer-happy fingers to time spent playing the X-Box. During the event, he seemed to be the fastest on his team at pressing the button.
“During the first round, I was frozen,” Diya said. “But in the second round, now that I knew how it goes, I was more confident.”
All four team members want to compete next year in the Battle of the Brains. Their coach, Julie Law, said the group worked really hard, and she’s proud to see them take home the win.
Eastside Elementary stu-dent Ryan Staley said he enjoyed the competition.
“I wasn’t nervous until I heard the questions because it was nothing I had ever heard of,” he said. “It was
100 percent harder.” The students prepared by
studying last year’s Math Bee. They watched videos of the bee and practiced last year’s questions. However, moderator and vice presi-dent of the Columbia County Math Council, Dr. Daniel Westra, said the council, which organized the event, wrote an entire new set of questions this year.
The questions are based on fourth-grade Sunshine State Standards.
“On a whole, the ques-tions were harder than the previous year,” Westra said. “The kids did excel-lent. They handled it very well. All the schools scored
points. Everyone was scor-ing. Everyone was partici-pating. ... That’s something we really haven’t seen before.”
Yvonne Douberly, presi-dent of the Math Council, said she saw a lot of confi-dence in the children par-ticipating this year.
“As a math teacher, it’s exciting to see the student’s satisfaction on their faces when they get an answer right.”
Niblack Elementary stu-dents Tyler Ford, D’khari Jernigan, Ja’Niyah White and Jakiel Harris said even though they didn’t come in first, they felt like winners. D’khari loved the challenge
of the event. The schools that compet-
ed in the competition were Columbia City, Five Points, Eastside, Fort White, Shining Star Academy, Epiphany, Summers, Melrose, Westside, Niblack and Pinemount.
Diya’s parents, Dipak Patel and Pratiksha Patel, said their daughter loves math.
“They all did a wonderful job,” Pratiksha Patel said. “I am so proud of her...She’s very excited because her team made their school proud.”
Organizers did not pro-vide a rundown of how the other teams ranked.

Peoples State Bank of Lake City, The Independent Community Bankers of America and community banks nationwide contin-ue to recognize April as ICBA Community Banking Month. The association and its nearly 5,000 community bank members are remind-ing everyone of the vital role community banks serve in supporting local small busi-nesses. Community banks are crucial in helping local economies thrive because they operate locally and put local deposits back to work in the community through loans to local residents and small businesses.
“Community banks are small businesses too, which puts them at a huge advantage because they can relate with the chal-lenges and needs small businesses face better than anyone else in the mar-ketplace,” said Robin C. Green, President and CEO
of Peoples State Bank. “Small business lending has always been the bread and butter of community banking. Community banks serve a vital role in lending to fellow small businesses, in good times and in bad, to keep local economies thriving, and that’s very important to us at Peoples State Bank.”
By driving local econo-mies and creating local jobs, community banks are an essential part of our nation’s financial system. Community banks are the primary source of lending for small businesses and farms. For their size, com-munity banks are prolific small business lenders—providing a substantial number of small business loans across the country, including Small Business Administration loans. In fact, even though they com-prise just 10 percent of the banking industry by assets, community banks provide nearly 60 percent of loans
to small businesses.To follow the conversa-
tion on Community Banking Month, follow the hashtag #golocal on Twitter. To

“We talked about busi-ness, we talked about life and nonsense,” Patel said.
Even though he thinks about the murder every day, when the hour hand nears noon, he said, he still looks down at his phone.
• • •The man police say
murdered Rajikant Patel, Ernest Larry Grandison, stands 6 feet, 1 inch tall. He weighs about 240 pounds. People called him Larry, and police have been looking for him for almost a year.
Grandison allegedly walked into the A&M Discount Beverage Store, 394 SE Duval St., on April 27, 2012, at about 1:30 p.m. Grandison was a regular customer of the Patels — usually buying scratch-off tickets.
Authorities say that day he had a bandage cover-ing part of his face, and had a gun in his hand.
Police believe he shot Patel multiple times in front of his wife Daxa, who was working behind the counter when the rob-bery began.
The way the suspect walked out of the store after another man took the money from under the cash register led police to believe he walked with a limp, but a camera outside the store caught him running with no limp, according to the Third Circuit State Attorney’s Office.
Authorities now think the killer “strutted” out of the store — more swagger than limp. Before run-ning, he tried to carjack a woman outside the busi-ness, police say. She put her car in reverse and sped away.
About a month later,
James Leonard Johnson, Grandison’s son-in-law and alleged accomplice, was arrested in Jacksonville. Police say Johnson was the man who took the money from under the cash register. The state attorney’s office said Johnson’s murder and robbery trial should begin this summer.
A Lake City Police Department media release says Grandison, a light-skinned black man with brown eyes, should be considered armed and dangerous.
He was known to work out and has a husky, mus-cular build. At one time, he owned a pine straw business.
He was also known to have multiple girlfriends, according to authorities, and was always clean shaven and well groomed. His hair was kept short.
He has no known tat-toos.
Grandison has fam-ily ties to Jamaica and Pensacola. The state attor-ney’s office said he was last spotted at a funeral in Pensacola the weekend of May 19, 2012. Police issued a warrant for his arrest that same day, and Grandison dropped off the mak after that.
The day of the robbery, city police arrived at the store just one minute after the dall reached them, but the suspect already had fled.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has now taken the lead in the infestigation.
A reward of $10,000 is offered to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest of Grandison. City police ask anyone with information to contact the police depart-ment at 752-4344 or to leave an anonymous tip at 719-2068.
BUDGET: Scott could get most of his priorities Continued From Page 1A
be developed and approved by each school board across the state.
“This is a victory for our students and our teachers,” Scott said.
Andy Ford, president of the Florida Education Association, praised Scott’s effort, saying “it’s more money than we have seen in years.” But he criti-cized the decision to delay the raise until next year and to tie the raise to teacher evaluations.
Scott is also still trying to get leg-islators to embrace his other priority: The complete elimination of the sales tax now charged on equipment pur-chased by manufacturers. The gover-nor has contended that the tax needs to be eliminated in order to encourage more manufacturers to come to the state.
Scott announced Monday that leg-
islative leaders had agreed to the tax break but with one significant catch: It would only last for three years.
Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, however, disputed Scott’s assertion. He said that while there had been “fruitful” discussions it was premature to announce that there was a deal on the tax break, which would cost an estimated $141 million a year.
“I think the governor may be announcing an agreement to which all parties have not agreed,” Gaetz said.
Scott’s announcement about the tax cut comes just two days before Scott must act on key bills dealing sought by legislative leaders. Lawmakers could be using the tax cut as leverage in order to ensure that Scott does not
veto measures that raise campaign contributions and change the state’s ethics standards for legislators.
The governor said Monday he was still reviewing both and had not made a decision. He did repeated, however, that he has trouble with raising cam-paign contributions from their cur-rent $500 limit to $3,000 to statewide candidates.
But the tax cut isn’t even a sure thing even if legislative leaders get behind it. It still must pass each cham-ber by a two-thirds vote, which means it would require approval from both Republicans and some Democrats. House Democratic Leader Perry Thurston, D-Plantation, said no one has yet consulted the Democrats about whether or not they would vote for the tax cut proposal.
SPRINGS: $10 million included in state budget Continued From Page 1A
Scott proposed.As part of the bud-
get talks, the House and Senate each outlined $29 million worth of projects on Saturday. Despite the House having initiated discussion for the springs
and a number of senators backing the proposal, the springs were not included in initial lists of water proj-ects that would be paid for.
But at the urging of Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, money
for the springs was drawn from the Florida Forever Trust Fund as supple-mental funding lists were released Sunday night.
“President Gaetz wanted to make a strong commit-ment for protecting and
enhancing our springs, particular as it relates to the Silver Springs area,” said Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, who as Senate Appropriations Committee chairman headed the bud-get talks for the Senate.

As I write this, it is my last day before a birth-day. A big one. One of those with a zero in it. (Let’s leave it at that!)
And I’m finding that I’m more reflective than usual.
Not for the standard “What have I done with my life so far?” reasons. Not even because I married again last October, after eight long years of being, involuntarily, a single parent, and am busy learning, and enjoying, what it is to have a new life and new family.
It’s that I recently discovered a menacing and potentially life-threat-ening cerebral aneurysm before it ruptured.
It presented no symptoms, I had no risk factors for one and it was found by God’s grace, in that I had a routine “let’s just check” MRI for something completely unrelated that itself turned out to be nothing. Discovery of the aneurysm led to brain surgery, aka a craniotomy. The aneurysm was treated by top surgeons, involving a several-hour procedure, three clips, a long scar behind my hairline and a stint in the ICU.
Now it’s gone -- like it never even happened. But it did. And it makes this birthday a little different for me.
It all started with the discovery of the aneurysm just days before my wedding last fall. Suddenly, I was juggling dress fittings and neurolo-gist appointments. My fiance and I were devastated: Who needs this just before a wedding?
The ceremony went on as planned, though we told almost no one about it at the time. We didn’t want any unnecessary clouds on
our big day. But wow -- my husband and I and the pastor sure knew that “Till death do us part” meant some-thing very special.
A lot of things needed to fall into place before I could have the surgery in early January. People ask me now what it was like living with the aneurysm while waiting to have it removed, knowing it would be deadly or, at least, devastating if it ruptured. Well, during the entire ordeal God gave me amazing grace to not focus on it much and, instead, be thankful that I had a life-threat-ening condition that -- unlike so many terrible diagnoses -- could be completely fixed.
It was. I went into surgery calm but with a real sense that much could go wrong. I made sure my will was organized, and I talked with my four kids about death. My husband and I held each other really tight. It turned out that the aneurysm was bigger, more complicated and more vulnerable than the scans had shown. Still, the surgeons were able to essentially render it benign. Incredible.
My open head was sewn back up. I was sent to the ICU, where anoth-er woman my age with a ruptured aneurysm smaller than mine was dying while I was recovering. Later,
when I heard about that, it just felt really unfair and unreal.
By late March, I was back at the gym. There are, seemingly, no side effects. I find that simply amazing.
There are, of course, all the times I try to get away with something by saying, “Of course, I can’t remem-ber/think of this or that -- I had brain surgery!” But even my kids, who had been so worried about the whole experience, now just roll their eyes at me....
On the one hand, through Providence I’m alive. I want to look at this and say, “It changed my life,” but that’s not quite true. Should it be? On the other hand, it seems to me we should see every day as an amazing gift we don’t deserve, whether it’s obvious that we avoided death that day or not.
Because every day we draw breath is, as I’ve heard it put, “Another day not promised.”
Still, I find that even with this incredible experience and all the love and care shown by friends and family and my new dear husband, I’m back to whining about a birth-day with a zero in it.
Maybe that’s human nature. Maybe it’s not all wrong. We have to go on living, right? This new history isn’t too far in the rearview mirror for me, so I may be writing about this again later on.
For now, though, I know I can say this much: Even as I whine a little, I now gratefully raise a toast to birth-days with zeros in them.

The sweeping education bill that Gov. Rick Scott has signed into law is a solid step forward. In the last week of the legisla-tive session, lawmakers can preserve that momentum by rejecting bills that could
give taxpayer money to untested online course pro-viders and create too many opportunities for for-prof-it charters to take over underperforming schools.
The new education law recognizes that not all students are going to college and that it is not nec-essary to master Algebra II to earn a high school diploma. The law establishes a “scholar” diploma and one with a “merit” designation, which would allow students to take industry-certification courses, as a computer programmer or automotive technician, for example, in place of more traditional higher-level math and science courses. In rolling out the rules, it will be important to make sure “merit” diploma recipients are still ready for college if they decide to take that path.
The law also allows state universities to qualify as “pre-eminent research universities.” The University of Florida and Florida State University already meet those standards. The law finally recognizes that treating all of the state’s universities as equals does not foster excellence. The state needs flagship uni-versities if Florida is to attract the top students and faculty.
The new law may be the Legislature’s signature accomplishment on education this year, but there is more work to be done before Friday’s adjournment. One Senate bill would crack down on some of the worst charter school abuses by stopping a charter school from spending more than $35,000 without its sponsor’s approval if a charter is set to close or not be renewed. The bill would also bar charter school employees and their relatives from serving on the governing boards. Those provisions are part of a larger bill that includes some common sense changes regarding the new common core standards. It would forbid the state from implementing the new assessments until all schools and districts have the proven capacity to administer the tests.
But there is also cause for concern. While legisla-tors recognize that teachers should be evaluated only on the students they personally teach, there appears to be little movement toward that basic fairness even as the state moves toward performance-based pay. And the parent trigger bill, SB 862, which would require county school boards to vote on parent-initi-ated turnaround plans at failing schools, is vulner-able to last-minute changes that could open the door too wide to for-profit charters or take away a local school board’s authority.
A solid education bill is now law and will have an enormous impact in public schools and universities. But there are still five days for a lot to go right — or wrong — for students this session.
Keep momentum

The king of the back yard is a little bully
Now he is close to her who in his eyes is all loveli-ness; his neck bending gracefully in all direc-tions, passes all around
her, and occasionally touches her body; and as she congratulates him on his victory, and acknowledges his affection, they move their necks in a hundred curious ways.
Now that I have your attention, I want to talk about birds.
That first paragraph is part of John James Audubon’s description of the Canada Gander making a play for the Canada Goose. I’ve never witnessed such goings-on, but if I were a true birder, I’d wait and watch.
We hear lots of Canada Ganders and Geese where we live. They usu-ally fly in wedges, just a few feet over the lake’s surface, honking their horns as though they all want to pass the flyer in front. But they all know their place.
Squirrels, unfortunately, do not know their place, and they don’t care. In my attempt to be a poor man’s birder — which simply means I put out feeders and watch nervous birds as they eat — I have been frustrated by squirrels. So have the birds.
I have yet to find a good way to
keep squirrels out of the bird seed. I greased the pole that holds the feeder; eventually the grease wore off and squirrels climbed up with ease. I put a Slinky around the pole. It was fun watching their squirrelly antics, trying to whip the Slinky into submission. But the show was tem-porary. They eventually learned to use the Slinky as a springboard to the top. Baffles didn’t help.
In our latest attempt to outfox the squirrel, we bought a “squir-rel-proof bird feeder” that came equipped with a spring-loaded perch. If a squirrel rests on the perch, a door to the seed slams shut.
The feeder is shaped like a little house. To put in seed, you simply turn the chimney and lift off the roof.
The house was in order for only
a few days. Then a squirrel with a Ph.D. in physics figured it out. He must have been watching me. The wily critter actually turned the chim-ney, pushed the roof to the ground and climbed down into the feeder for a feast of sunflower seeds. By the time I spotted him, he’d gained five pounds.
Now our little house with the squirrel-proof perch and squirrel-friendly roof is bound with twine strong enough to pull a two-horse wagon. It’s ugly, but so far it works.
To be fair, I wanted to close with something gentle, romantic and poetic about the squirrel’s mating habits. But I couldn’t find anything.
Geese, as you know, mate for life. So do mute swans, bald eagles, scar-let macaws, whooping cranes and even black vultures.
But girl squirrels are promiscu-ous, I’ve read, a condition that encourages the boys to be the same way.
Are we surprised? What else would we expect from twitchy-tailed, beady-eyed, conniving, lar-cenous, sneaky animals that would steal a poor little bird’s last morsel?
Celibacy?

NEW YORK — Tim Tebow was “excited” about coming to the New York Jets. So much so, he used the word 44 times in his introductory press confer-ence in March 2012.
Well, he must be pretty thrilled to leave.
After a failed one-year stint with the Jets, who never found a consistent or effective role for the backup quarterback, Tebow is free to explore other options after New York released him Monday.
Tebow believes he is still an NFL-caliber quarterback and it appeared his home-town of Jacksonville would be the obvious landing spot — until new general man-ager David Caldwell insist-ed that wouldn’t happen. There are plenty of opinions on what the football future holds for Tebow, but here’s our Pick 6 of potential job opportunities:
Chicago Bears
The presence of new coach Marc Trestman and former Jets QBs coach Matt Cavanaugh make the Bears a possibility to sign Tebow, who would be a backup again behind Jay Cutler. Trestman worked with Tebow at the Senior Bowl and before the NFL draft in 2010, and raved about his work ethic and potential to

NEW YORK — Tebow Time is off the clock.
Tim Tebow was waived by the Jets on Monday, the end of an unsuccessful one-season experiment in New York that had been expected for months.
“Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped,” coach Rex Ryan said in a statement by the team in announcing the move.
The Heisman Trophy winner attempted just eight passes after his ballyhooed arrival in a surprising trade from the Denver Broncos in March 2012. He threw for 39 yards and rushed 32 times for 102 yards — and stunningly had no touch-downs as a member of the Jets.
Meanwhile, starter Mark Sanchez struggled amid constant questions about Tebow’s playing time, and still Tebow remained mostly on the sideline. The Jets and new general man-ager John Idzik drafted former West Virginia star Geno Smith in the second round of the NFL draft Friday, giving New York six quarterbacks on its roster — and creating uncertainty about Sanchez’s future as well.
Tebow arrived at the team’s facility in Florham Park, N.J., on Monday morning and was told he

Columbia High’s track team was looking to land a few members in the state meet, but the Tigers had to settle for a couple of near-misses.
John Bradley placed fifth, one spot out of qualifying for state, in the high jump at the Region 1-3A meet at Chiles High on Thursday. Bradley jumped 6-2.
Daniel Lasiter of Washington High (Pensacola) won the event.
Columbia’s 4x100 relay team of Rakeem Battle, Cornelius Montgomery, Zedrick Woods and Trey
Marshall, which made the state field last year, also placed fifth after running second in the 4x100 relay preliminary.
The Tigers ran 42.30 in the preliminary, but fell to 42.38 in the final and fifth place behind Gainesville, Fleming Island, Pensacola and Pine Forest high schools.
“We were prepared. We had the experience. We were presented the opportu-nity, but we fell short of ris-ing to the occasion,” coach Brooke Solowski said. “It was a disappointing end to a successful season.”
Though qualifying for state in two events for the second straight year, Fort White High’s Sitia Martinez fell short of a top-three finish at the Class 2A state meet at the University of
North Florida on Saturday.Martinez qualified fourth
in the 300-meter hurdles and stayed right there when the final was run. Her time was 44.23.
Martinez also placed fourth in the event last year at state.
Shamaria Lovett of Miami Jackson High won the 300 hurdles in 42.96, followed by runner-up Stefani Kerrison of Jones High in 43.34 and Khadeeja Dooling of American Heritage School in third with 43.64. Logan Bass of Suwannee High placed seventh in 45.32.
Martinez just made the final in the 100 meters, qual-ifying ninth in 12.392 (the timing went to 100ths to break a 12.40 tie). Martinez finished the final ninth in 12.24.
Deanne Hill of Lake Highland Prep won in 11.72, followed by Diamond Spaulding of American Heritage in 11.76.
American Heritage won the girls’ competition with Rockledge High in second, Pine Crest High in third and Godby High in fourth.
The top four teams for the boys were Lakewood High, Washington High (Miami), American Heritage (Plantation) and Bishop Kenny High.
Emma Tucker had the next best region show-ing for Columbia, placing sixth in the 800 meters in 2:22.33. Alex Weber placed ninth in the long jump (20-4
1⁄2). Shaykhiem Griffin
placed 11th in the 400 meters (51.86). Michaelle Charlotin placed 11th in the 400 meters (1:00.54).
Charlotin and Tucker ran the third and fourth legs of the 4x800 relay, joining Abby Williams and Sydni Jones. The team was 14th in the preliminary in 10:43.41.
Nick Jones, Weber, Woods and Griffin ran the 4x400 relay and placed 15th in qualifying (3:30.27).
Pine Forest won the girls’ region with Bartram Trail High in second and Atlantic Coast High in third. The top three for the boys were Bartram Trail, Gainesville and Pine Forest.
“We had a good season,” Solowski said. “We did send 12 to region where in the past only five represented CHS. We won the Oak Hall meet. We improved throughout the season and most ran personal bests at the end of the season.”

had been cut. “Tim is an extremely
hard worker, evident by the shape he came back in this offseason,” Ryan said. “We wish him the best moving forward.”
Tebow took to Twitter a few hours later, citing a bible verse: “Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own under-standing,” Tebow wrote, “in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Tebow led the Broncos to the playoffs in 2011, but became expendable when Denver signed Peyton Manning as a free agent.
The popular backup quar-terback was acquired by the Jets for a fourth-round draft pick and $1.5 million in salary.
He was introduced at the Jets’ facility to plenty of fan-fare at a lavish news confer-ence, with Tebow repeated-ly saying he was “excited” to be in New York.
Owner Woody Johnson jokingly said last season that “you can never have enough Tebow.” Well, the Jets apparently had their fill after just one year.
From the day the Jets made the move to bring Tebow in to compete with Sanchez, many fans and media predicted it was only
a matter of time before the former Florida star stepped in as the starting quarter-back.
Meanwhile, the Jets insisted having both Tebow and Sanchez would not be a distraction. The plan was that the team would benefit from having both players’ different skill sets: Sanchez as the traditional quarter-back, and Tebow running the wildcat-style offense.
He was solid in his role on special teams as the per-sonal punt protector, but the Jets stopped using him even there after he broke two ribs in November. Tebow’s role diminished greatly after the injury.
become a solid passer.Trestman, the for-
mer coach of the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes, has a track record of developing quarterbacks and has also worked with the likes of Cutler, Jason Campbell and Brandon Weeden in recent years as a consultant when they were coming out of college.
Tebow might make for a good fit as the No. 2 quarter-back after Campbell signed with the Browns. Whether Trestman would want to start his Bears career by bringing in the hype that comes with Tebow being on the team could be a deterrent.
San Diego Chargers
Philip Rivers took a major step back last season for the Chargers, but still can be one of the league’s most productive quarterbacks when he’s on his game. So, it’s unlikely new coach Mike McCoy will look else-where for a starter.
However, McCoy knows all about what Tebow can do when given an opportu-nity. The two were together in Denver when Tebow pulled off comeback after comeback during the 2011 season and led the Broncos to the playoffs. McCoy, then Denver’s offensive coordi-nator, worked the offense around Tebow’s strengths and appeared to be a magi-cian in the process.
While it never truly appeared Tebow was a threat to Sanchez in New York, he could prove to be just that to Rivers — espe-cially with a coach who believes in his abilities. Whether the Chargers, who just drafted Manti
Te’o, would want any added attention remains to be seen.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
OK, so it’s not exactly the homecoming playing in Jacksonville would be, but Tebow would surely be a big draw in his home state — even if it’s as a backup to Josh Freeman.
The Buccaneers’ current backups are Dan Orlovsky, Adam Weber and third-round draft pick Mike Glennon, and Tebow might feel he could overtake them on the depth chart as the No. 2.
Tebow has also spent time this offseason work-ing out in Tampa with a fellow lefty and former Buccaneers (and Jets) quar-terback: Vinny Testaverde.
New England Patriots
Sure, it’s a long shot, but Tebow wouldn’t be brought in to challenge Tom Brady, of course.
Bill Belichick has a knack for bringing in players that other teams discard — Wes Welker, Danny Woodhead, Randy Moss, Corey Dillon, Aqib Talib — and reviv-ing their careers in New England.
Tebow has always said he just wants to win, and the Patriots have sure done their share of that. So, play-ing on special teams — and perhaps as a fullback/tight end — and being a mere piece to the puzzle could satisfy Tebow if the W’s pile up.
Two other factors to con-sider: Offensive coordina-tor Josh McDaniels drafted Tebow out of Florida while he was the coach in Denver,
and being able to tweak the Jets always makes Belichick grin a little under his hoodie.
Montreal Alouettes
The Alouettes hold exclu-sive negotiating rights to Tebow in the CFL, where some think he might ulti-mately end up.
There’s some debate, though, whether his game might be better suited there as a quarterback. With the CFL’s wide-open fields and pass-heavy offenses, Tebow’s run-first approach could further expose his passing deficiencies. But, he somehow seems to make things happen — when he actually gets some snaps — and might be able to run all over the place in Canada.
He could also consider the recent offer made by Brett Bouchy, the owner of the Orlando Predators who’d love to see Tebow playing in the Arena League.
Lecture circuit
This will always be an option for the ultra-popu-lar Tebow, who attracts huge crowds whenever and wherever he speaks at churches and events.
He’s not shy about shar-ing his strong Christian beliefs, and his multitude of fans extend far beyond the football field.
Tebow is extremely active with his Tim Tebow Foundation, trying to help and inspire people around the world. When Tebow is done playing football, he could surely turn appear-ances as a motivational speaker into a full-time gig.

DEAR ABBY: I am frus-trated and angry over a situation that should be fun and happy. My husband, “Rick,” and I are planning a trip with our two children next month. We will visit family while we are there, but they don’t have room for us to stay in their home.
Rick wants to bring his mother with us. It will be a tight fit in our car, but I don’t have a problem with that. What bothers me is that Rick wants her to stay with us in our hotel room.
I am a very private person. I have a problem sharing such close quar-ters with her. There is NO privacy in a hotel room!
I offered to get two rooms, but he feels I am being unreasonable. I feel three adults plus two chil-dren is a lot to pack into a small hotel room.
AM I being unrea-sonable? Or should I just accept it and deal with being miserable? -- FRUSTRATED IN THE SOUTH
DEAR FRUSTRATED: Although there may be exceptions, as a general rule, adults need their pri-vacy. Frankly, I am sur-prised your mother-in-law would be willing to go along with such an arrange-ment. This is a vacation, and you should not be miserable when you’re sup-posed to be enjoying it.
A better solution would be to get two rooms, and the children should bunk with their grandmother. That way you and your husband could enjoy some private time together.
** ** **DEAR ABBY: I have
been with my boyfriend for seven years. We have no children together, but he has two young children from a previous relation-ship whom I have been raising as my own. They call me “Mom,” but they know I’m not their biologi-cal mother. Their mother has not contacted them -- or cared to -- since the young-er one was just months old.
My fear is now that the kids are getting older, they may want to form a rela-tionship with her later on. I don’t want to seem selfish, but they are MY kids. Any girl can have a baby, but it takes a real woman to be a mom. How should I handle this when that time comes? -- DREADING THE FUTURE IN ARIZONA
DEAR DREADING: It is natural for children to want
to know who their biologi-cal parents are; that’s the reason adoption records are no longer sealed. You appear to fear that your boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend will want to swoop in and steal your maternal spot-light. From all indications, it’s not the case; you are the only mother they know.
If the children want information about their birth mother, the truth should not be kept from them. Meeting her does not guarantee they will love you any less. Worrying about it is self-defeating.
** ** **DEAR ABBY: What is
the protocol for in-person conversations vs. phone interruptions (either via text or call)? When talking with someone, I feel it’s rude for the other indi-vidual to respond to voice or text messages. Can’t people take a break long enough to actually have a real LIVE conversation? - TECHNOLOGICALLY OVERLOADED IN VIRGINIA
DEAR OVERLOADED: The best approach is the direct approach. Tell the person, “I wish you wouldn’t do that.”
