Local business and com-munity leaders packed into Columbia High School’s audi-torium Monday morning to get a crash course in surpis-ing demographic trends that forecast unique, unprecedent-ed changes to come in 21st-
century America.University of North Carolina
Distinguished Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship James Johnson Jr. gave a pre-sentation on what he called six “disrupting” trends indicated by 2010 U.S. census data.
Those trends include how the “South is rising again” in popu-lation, the approaching “silver tsunami” and the decline of well-educated, qualified men in the workplace, known as a “mances-sion.”
One of the trends, the “brown-
ing of America,” indicated that population growth of non-white races, for the first time in cen-sus history, outpaced whites. Data also indicated whites were having fewer children on aver-age than non-white families.
Johnson used this informa-tion to encourage people to seri-ously reconsider the “draconi-an” immigration laws currently in place.
“The median age of a white woman in America is 43,” he said. “For Hispanic women, it’s 27. Who do you think will have
more babies in the future? If you build a wall to keep everyone out, where do you think your future growth is going to come from?”
He claimed the issue of ille-gal immigration was “hijacked” ever since people developed the stereotypical image of Mexicans and other minorities hopping the border illegally.
“It’s a little more complicated than that,” he said. Most illegal immigration, he claimed, came

Summer Brooke Albritton was sentenced to 28 months in prison after pleading guilty to aggra-vated child abuse in circuit court Monday for injuries to an 11-week-old infant in her care.
Albritton admited to shaking Carly Cason “very hard” on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012, police reports said. The infant has been diag-nosed with shaken baby syndrome and the full extent of her injuries are still unknown.
The case was heard by Third Circuit Judge Julian Collins in Courtroom 2
of the Columbia C o u n t y C o u r t -h o u s e M o n d a y afternoon. Albritton’s plea hear-
ing began around 4:40 p.m. and lasted about 15 min-utes.
Matt and Carrie Cason spoke on behalf of their daughter after the terms of the plea deal were read.

Soccer field use issues resolved
By STEVEN RICHMOND
Issues regarding soccer field use were apparently resolved during Monday night’s Sports Advisory Council meeting, but not without further discussion of complaints against the Columbia Youth Soccer Association.
The CYSA introduced a propos-al to leave the gate to the soccer fields at the Southside Recreation Complex unlocked while designat-ing a single field for pick-up games and erecting a “play at your own risk” sign, in response to members of the community wanting to use the fields without CYSA approval.
According to County Manager Dale Williams, the CYSA doesn’t need approval from the county, since the association has full authority to regulate fields’ use after signing a July licensing agree-ment with the county.
Despite the apparent solution, the CYSA was heavily scrutinized by the sports council throughout the meeting, following grievances from parents.
Raúl Medina, father of a child in the CYSA, petitioned the board Saturday to postpone its special election for president until the by-laws were reviewed, claiming that the current procedures in place

Sinkhole swallows resort villa
CLERMONT — It sounded like a thunder-storm as windows broke and the ground shook, but vacationers awakened in their rooms at a villa near Orlando soon realized that the building was starting to collapse — parts of it swallowed by a 100-foot sinkhole that also endan-gered two neighboring resort buildings.
By early Monday, nearly a third of the structure at Summer Bay Resort had collapsed. All 105 guests staying in the villa were evacuated, as were those in the neighboring build-ings. No injuries were reported. The villa, with 24 three-story units, was reported as a total loss, and inspectors remained on the scene Monday afternoon to determine whether the other two buildings near the sink-hole — a common occur-rence in Florida — would be safe to re-enter.
The first sign of trouble came about 10:30 Sunday
night. Security guard Richard Shanley heard what sounded like shout-ing from a building.
A guest flagged him down to report that a window had blown out. Shanley reported it to management, and another window popped. The resort’s staff decided to evacuate the villa.
Official explains insurance rates
TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s insurance commissioner is trying to explain why homeowner property insurance rates aren’t coming down.
Kevin McCarty on Friday responded to one of his bosses about insur-ance costs. Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater last week asked why rates weren’t coming down since the cost of reinsur-ance has dropped 15 per-cent to 20 percent.
Insurers purchase reinsurance to provide financial backing in case of major claims.
McCarty says that in
some cases insurers are purchasing additional rein-surance instead of passing on the savings to home-owners.
He also says that there hasn’t been enough time for insurers to reflect the savings in their rates.
4 dead, 1 critical following crash
CROSS CITY — Four people are dead follow-ing a two-vehicle crash in north Florida.
The Florida Highway Patrol reports the crash happened in Cross City early Sunday morning.
The FHP said 35-year-old Eddie Pinner Lazo failed to stop at an inter-section and hit a truck being driven by Rayford Lee Enfinger, 51. Enfinger and his passengers, Julius Jeramia Micale, 35, and Levi Micale, 13, died at the scene.
Troopers say 15-year-old Katie Rae Enfinger was pronounced dead while being taken to a waiting helicopter.
Behar makes exit from ‘The View’NEW YORK
The last of the original hosts on ABC’s daytime talk show “The View” — except for the program’s inventor, Barbara Walters
— made her exit Friday.Joy Behar’s last day was punctu-
ated by a profane joke. Taped a week earlier, the program was a salute to Behar with special guests, a ser-enade and highlights of her memora-ble moments, including interviewing Barack Obama and walking out on Bill O’Reilly.
Behar, 70, a standup comic and writer, said after the taping that she wants to do something different without being held to the schedule of a daily talk show. She’s exploring different areas, and said she met with CNN chief Jeff Zucker about possibilities there.
“I don’t want to do just one thing,” she said.
Behar began her co-host duties with the first episode of “The View” in August 1997. Walters’ idea for a talk show with women hosts kicking around the news of the day, followed by celebrity guests, proved to be a success from the start.
ABC hasn’t named a replacement for Behar. The network recently said Jenny McCarthy would replace Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who left for a job at Fox News Channel. Producers face another big decision next year when Walters retires.
Jimmy Fallon: We had baby via surrogate
NEW YORK — Jimmy Fallon says he and his wife had their baby daughter with the help of a surro-gate.
Winnie Rose Fallon, the daughter of the NBC late-night comic and his wife, Nancy Juvonen, was born
July 23. Fallon said in a portion of a “Today” show interview broadcast Friday that the couple had been try-ing for a while to have a child before succeeding with the help of a sur-rogate.
The couple kept it all a secret until Winnie was born.
NBC said a more extensive por-tion of Savannah Guthrie’s interview with the incoming “The Tonight Show” host will be broadcast this week.
Katy Perry to perform new single at VMAs
NEW YORK — Katy Perry is returning to the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Perry will sing her new song, “Roar,” live for the first time. She hasn’t performed at the VMAs since 2009.
The VMAs will air live from Brooklyn on Aug. 25. Justin Timberlake and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis lead the nominations with six apiece and Bruno Mars is next at four.
“Roar,” released Monday, is the first single from Perry’s new album, “PRISM,” due out Oct. 22. Perry is a four-time VMA winner, includ-ing top honor video of the year for “Firework.”
Others announced for the show include Lady Gaga and Kanye West, who will be performing for a record-tying seventh time.

from non-immigrants who arrive on legal, temporary visas like tourists, tempo-rary workers, international students and athletes, and simply stay in America past the visa’s expiration date.
He also touched on the topic of the elderly, suggest-ing senior care will outpace child care in the future, and that peple 45 and older, the “baby boomers,” will place a disproportionate burden on the younger generations — X, Y and millennials — as 8,000 individuals a day will turn 65 for the next 20 years.
New data also indicated that families where grand-parents directly raise grand-children are increasing.
Johnson highlighted new trends in gender inequality as well.
“I’ve got good news and bad news,” he said. “Good news is more women are earning degrees and are set to replace men as the majority of the workforce. Bad news is that same workforce is lacking more qualified men to fill those positions.”
He said the decline in male workers was due to fewer men obtaining college degrees and increased male incarceration rates, among other factors.
“So unless you’re already hitched, ladies, you ain’t gonna have anyone to enjoy that success with,” he said.
Summers Elementary principal and 10-year educa-tion veteran Amy Stanton also expressed the need to engage children more actively, especially boys.
“We’ve come to the point where we’re more con-cerned with facilitating cog-nitive, active leaners,” she said after the presentation. “We need to facilitate their learning however we can and get them ready for col-lege and the workplace.”
Johnson also took the time to crunch Columbia County census data and trends. He was able to sum it up in five words.
“Ladies and gentleman, you’re old,” he said. As of 2010, people 40 years and older constitute approxi-mately 50 percent of coun-ty’s population, while those 25 and younger make up about 32 percent.
Considering that about half the individuals under the age of 25 either work part time or not at all, he reasoned that the county had to take a long, critical look at its future growth and tax burdens.
He also hypothesized that individuals born between 1980 and 2000, “Generation Y” or “Millennials,” are going to resemble individu-als who grew up during the Great Depression.
“These kids are moving to cities, not buying houses and growing up with thou-sands of dollars of debt from student loans, with a tradi-tional job market that’s not functioning well” Johnson said. “They’re a generation of frugality. They are going to lead the world in innova-tion because they want to change it.”
Dennille Decker, execu-tive director of the Lake City-Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, which sponsored the event, found it insightful.
“Millennials are such a different generation from baby boomers,” she said. “Traditional goals on how to teach and engage them have changed.”
County School Superintendent Terry Huddleston recognized the need for local schools to be more progressive in how they work with and engage children. He even suggest-
ed introducing a bring-your-own-device policy (smart-phones, iPads, etc.) and incorporating educational materials into apps children could connect with.
“As a superintendent, I’m concerned with the pres-ervation of human capital,” he said. “Our baby boomers are leaving and we need to have a program in place to help our children grow and fill those roles in the future.”
Later in the morning Johnson gave the same presentation for school dis-trict faculty and staff.

NOTICE OF HEARING TO REIMPOSE AND PROVIDE FOR COLLECTIONOF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS IN THE ROLLING OAKS MUNICIPAL SERVICE
BENEFIT UNIT TO PROVIDE FOR ROADWAY PAVING IMPROVEMENTSNotice is hereby given that the Columbia County Board of County
Commissioners will conduct a public hearing to consider the continued imposition of non-ad valorem special assessments for the provision of roadway paving improvements along Northwest Armadillo Lane, Northwest Dalton Glen, Northwest Brinkley Terrace, and Northwest Pompano Court within the boundaries of the Rolling Oaks Municipal Service Benefit Unit for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2013 and for the remainder of the total assessment period.
The hearing will be held at 5:30 p.m. on September 5, 2013, in the School Board Administration Complex Auditorium, 372 West Duval Street, Lake City, Florida, for the purpose of receiving public comment on the proposed Rolling Oaks Municipal Service Benefit Unit special assessments for roadway paving improvements. All affected property owners have a right to appear at the hearing and to file written objections with the County Commission within 20 days of this notice.
Pursuant to section 286.0105, Florida Statutes, if you decide to appeal any decision made by the County Commission with respect to any matter considered at the hearing or at any subsequent meeting to which the Board has continued its deliberations, you will need a record of the proceedings and may need to ensure that a verbatim record is made, including the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be made. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, persons needing a special accommodation or an interpreter to participate in this proceeding should contact Columbia County at (386) 758-1005, at least seven (7) days prior to the date of the hearing.
The assessment for each parcel of property will be based upon the total number of lots on which a Single-Family Residential Unit has been or can be constructed or sited in accordance with applicable laws and regulations on the date the assessment is imposed. The proposed local improvement assessment for the upcoming fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2013 is $376.68 per lot which is the same rate imposed for Fiscal Year 2012-2013. A more specific description of the paving improvements and the method of computing the assessment for each parcel of property are set forth in the Initial Assessment Resolution for Local Improvement Assessments adopted by the County Commission on August 4, 2005. Copies of the Capital Project and Related Service Assessment Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2005-12), the Initial Assessment Resolution, the Final Assessment Resolution, and the updated Assessment Roll for the upcoming fiscal year are available for inspection at the Office of the County Coordinator in the Columbia County Courthouse located at 135 N.E. Hernando Avenue, Lake City, Florida.
The assessments will be collected on the ad valorem tax bill to be mailed in November 2013, as authorized by section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. Failure to pay the assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the property which may result in a loss of title.
If you have any questions, please contact the Columbia County Tax Collector at (386) 758-1080, Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

COUNCIL: Soccer field use resolved Continued From Page 1A
were “antidemocratic” and resembled “a private club more than a community organization.”
Pamela Hartopp, a moth-er, addressed the council concerning an independent financial report indicat-ing the CYSA had around $52,000 worth of undocu-mented disbursements between October 2010 and September 2011.
Prior to Monday’s meet-ing, Williams sent a memo to the committee clarify-ing that the possible “dis-bandment of current CYSA board members” was on the table for discussion.
He informed the sports council that should they wish to pursue a forensic audit or fraud investigation, the costs would exceed the missing $52,000.
“The board [of county commissioners] felt it was more pertinent at the time to make sure this didn’t happen again,” he said. Williams said the CYSA has since hired a certified public accountant and that their current bookkeeping
system was “the model to follow.”
The council ultimately decided not to pursue the forensic audit option.
Hartopp also suggested revisions to the CYSA’s by-laws, with the aim of intro-ducing open and free elec-tions, where any paying member could vote. As it stands, the association only allows board members to vote in elections.
All members of the council were given copies of the suggested revisions, and many agreed that open elections should already be in place.
“I’m willing to sit down and discuss changes to by-laws,” Williams said. “But
I haven’t been approached yet.”
The council unanimous-ly passed a motion asking the CYSA to review and give due diligence to the suggested changes prior to the council’s next meeting in September.
President of Columbia County Youth Baseball Tad Cervantes addressed mem-bers of the CYSA in the audience directly toward the close of the meeting.
“You all need to look at these by-laws and accept them,” he said. “But always remember that children come first. You need to put this hatred aside, act like adults and quit this bickering.”

The military justice sys-tem seems ridiculously antiquated and ineffec-tive when it comes to capital cases. The trial
of the gun-wielding doctor accused of killing 13 people and wounding 30 at Fort Hood, Texas, finally has begun four years after the inci-dent. The entire process, including appeals, is expected to drag on for years more.
Major Nidel Malik Hasan wanted to plead guilty in the shooting deaths at the crowded post medical center in 2009. But that would have nullified a death sentence, which Army prosecutors badly want. There is no doubt about his guilt. He admits it. Besides, everyone in the vicinity saw his murderous action, which he contends was stimulated by his sympathy for the Taliban. He was wounded by police and left paralyzed.
The taxpayers already have spent some $5 million on this case and there can be no clear estimate of how much more will be expended. The government’s chances of executing the 42-year-old medical doctor seem far longer than those
of his living out the rest of his life on death row. Apparently, it would be 10 to 15 years before his appeals were exhausted. One man on death row has been there 24 years. In fact, the last military execution was in 1961.
Even after all that time, the presi-dent of the United States -- whoever that may be -- would have to order the death sentence carried out.
What a travesty this is. The sur-vivors and the relatives of those assassinated should be able to expect some closure to this tragedy, apparently born out of mindless reli-gious fanaticism. That’s not going to happen soon, and for many it may never come....
Hasan is in the rare position
of defending himself and, as the national press has noted, of ques-tioning some of his victims, many who apparently feel the Army has been more generous to him than them.
The New York Times wrote recently about one of those victims, a sergeant, who contends that the Army garnished his wages during the time he spent in a military post traumatic stress disorder program and refused to cover an operation to remove a bullet Hasan fired into his back as he fled the scene bleeding from other wounds....
For the Army to have taken so long to bring Hasan to the bar of justice is despicable. It should have happened long ago. The system drastically needs overhauling or the pretense of delivering the most extreme verdict possible eliminated. Other military trials demanding capi-tal punishment, resulting from atroci-ties committed in our years in Iraq and Afghanistan, are pending. They should be treated with at least a sem-blance of timeliness and finality.
A U.S. Senate committee is scheduled to hold a hearing today in the city of Apalachicola on the plight of Apalachicola Bay. The ses-sion should show members how the lack of fresh water is killing the bay and, we hope,
spark action.Sen. Marco Rubio pushed for the visit by the Senate
Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, and hopes the exposure will finally get Washington to come to the estuary’s rescue.
Alas, the courts, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and, so far, Congress have done little to aid the fabled water body.
Georgia is freely allowed to take water out of the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee and Flint rivers, primarily to supply the drinking water to the Atlanta region.
With less fresh water flow, Apalachicola Bay’s salinity levels dangerously increase, damaging the estuary, par-ticularly its famed oysters, a fishery that has virtually collapsed in recent years.
Not long ago, the bay produced 10 percent of the country’s oysters and 90 percent of the state’s.
The situation is the result of Georgia allowing run-away growth in the Atlanta region with scant concern for water supplies.
It became dependent on Lake Lanier, the reservoir created by the federally constructed Buford Dam, though that project was intended for flood control, navi-gation and hydropower.
No regard was given to the impact on how water diversions of the river system would affect Florida or Alabama....
The Army Corps was equally indifferent.As Alabama’s Sen. Jeff Sessions recently pointed out,
the Corps allowed the amount of water the Atlanta area took from the lake daily to increase from 10 million gallons in the 1950s to 170 million. Now, not enough water is making its way downstream, particularly dur-ing droughts.
Some have tried to dismiss the conflict as a case of marine life being valued more than people. That’s baloney. This is a matter of irresponsible state policies jeopardizing another state’s resources, industries and livelihoods.
Only recently has Georgia taken any meaningful steps to conserve water.
Florida Sens. Bill Nelson and Rubio have tried to help, offering legislation that would ensure Florida and Alabama more water, but last May the Senate deleted the provision before passing the 2013 Water Resources Development Act.
But the senators haven’t given up.After the panel announced the visit, Rubio issued
a statement that conveyed the seriousness of the cri-sis: “Understanding the effects of this disaster on the local community, supporting industries and regional economy are key to appreciating the significance of the Apalachicola Bay and its situation.”
Rubio does not exaggerate. What is happening to Apalachicola Bay is a disaster. No one suggests metro-politan Atlanta forgo drinking water, but it can curtail its prolific water use.
It’s time Washington gave Apalachicola Bay and the fishing and tourism businesses it sustains a break.
According to Team Obama’s “phony scan-dal” narrative, when the Internal Revenue Service processed
501(c)(3) tax-exemption applica-tions, it equally tormented liberals and conservatives. No big deal, the argument goes. The IRS suf-fers from even-handed inefficiency rather than an un-American habit of slamming critics of the president of the United States.
Unfortunately for the Obamites, actual facts annihilate their institu-tional-incompetence defense. New data deepen the suspicion that the IRS is the latest and most worri-some weapon in the left’s arsenal.
Using his authority under Internal Revenue Code Section 6103, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., requested and received data from the IRS on the 298 “politi-cal advocacy” groups that the tax agency was subjecting to second-ary screening as of May 31, 2012. Committee staffers compared these groups’ names against identifiers on the IRS’ “Be on the Lookout” list, namely “progressive” and “Tea Party,” “Patriot,” “9/12” and “con-servative.” This yielded 111 groups, of which staffers developed a snap-shot on their status as of May 31, 2013.
Ways and Means confirmed con-servatives’ repeated lament: The IRS caresses institutions on the left and hammers those on the right.
Among these 111 targets, only seven were self-described “progres-sive” groups. The remaining 104 were right-of-center. So, among this sample, the institutions that the IRS placed under a microscope were 6.3 percent liberal and 93.7 percent conservative. That is not quite fair and balanced.
The IRS also scrutinized liberals far more lightly than it did conser-vatives. Ways and Means found that the IRS asked these leftist groups 4.7 questions, on average, while righties typically faced 14.9 queries -- more than thrice as many. Conservative complain that the IRS inappropriately demanded their donor lists, reports on books they were reading, whether applicants’ relatives planned to run for office, and even descriptions of their prayers.
Among the seven liberal groups that Ways and Means examined, IRS authorized 100 percent of their proposals. Among conservatives, it only approved 46 percent.
Consequently, zero liberal groups in this sample await an IRS decision. In contrast, 56 conservative outfits either still wonder if the IRS will accept their submissions or they simply gave up.
When the committee released this information July 30, it did not name the groups it studied. However, the American Center for Law and Justice details how long conservative clubs have watched the IRS sit on their paperwork. ACLJ is suing the IRS on behalf of 41 such entities. Some faced unusu-ally long intervals before their documents were approved (e.g., 30 months for Virginia’s Richmond Tea Party and 32 months for Colorado’s Four Corners Liberty Restoration
Group). Others remain in limbo, amid IRS inaction. Consider, as of Tuesday, a 39-month ongoing wait for Michigan’s Unite in Action, 41 months for California’s PECAN -- Patriots Educating Concerned Americans Now, and 43 months for New Mexico’s Albuquerque Tea Party.
The dogs that have not barked are the liberal groups that may have waited endlessly for IRS rulings or been asked about their contributors, reading material or prayer habits. If, say, Occupy Palm Beach, Americans for Higher Taxes, or Spend It All - NOW! had shared their IRS horror stories, this would be no scandal.
So, where are the IRS’ liberal vic-tims? Are they staying mum while this controversy poaches Team Obama in increasingly hot water? Or -- could it be? -- maybe the IRS has no leftist victims, since it barely targeted and never persecuted such groups.
Couple this information with reve-lations that confidential IRS records illegally got leaked to the Federal Election Commission and appar-ently to opponents of the National Organization for Marriage and 2010 senatorial nominee Christine O’Donnell, R-Del. A frightful por-trait emerges of a thoroughly politi-cized federal agency that repeatedly abuses its police powers to the ben-efit of Barack Obama and his com-rades on the left and the detriment of their rivals on the right.
This is far from phony, and close to authoritarian.

showed a poster-sized photo with Carrie in the hospital fighting for her life.
Carrie Cason then gave a harrowing account of how she and her husband learned by phone that their child was unresponsive and fighting for her life.
“It was non-accidental trauma, that’s what the doctors told us,” she said through tears, reading from a prepared statement.
“The doctor told us we needed to pray,” she said, as she described seeing about 20 medical profes-sionals in the hospital tend-ing to her daughter.
“She was lying there suffering and we could do nothing for her,” she said.
The incident has taken a toll on their family, and it has taken time and atten-tion from their other chil-dren, she said.
“This is someone we cared for and trusted,” she said of Albritton. “Summer, we forgive you and we will continue to pray for you and your family.”
In addition to serving 28 months in prison, Albritton, 20, will be on probation for five years after her release and will have to pay $57,000 restitution to the Cason family starting two months after she is released from prison.
Albritton also has to suc-cessfully complete anger management counseling in the first year of her pro-bation and can’t have any unsupervised contact with children under the age of 18.
She must also complete a Department of Children and Families parenting class, or the equivalent, during her probation.
Albritton is to have no contact with the Cason family and will have to pay court costs.
source of trouble.“It’s a hole in a hole
in the wall,” said a man who identified himself as George Bishop. “Anything goes there. There’s always something going on ... It’s all unsupervised.”
The bar is divided into two sections, one serving alcohol by the drink, the other by the bottle.
“It’s for low income peo-ple who can’t pay drink-by-drink over at the bar,” owner Alan Fishman said of the bottle club. “We’re doing them a service in helping them have a good time because they wouldn’t be able to afford it.”
The bottle club is pri-marily frequented by black customers, the bar area by whites, according to Fishman.
“It’s not segregated,” he said. “That’s just how it happens to be. Anyone can go to either side.”
Fishman said there had been no trouble Saturday leading up to the shooting.
“Everyone was having a
good time,” he said. “There were no problems through-out the night. I don’t know why he pulled out that gun and shot them, but I’d heard rumors they’d been bullying him for a while.”
According to sheriff’s reports, Wingfield had a heated altercation in the parking lot of the bar around 1 a.m. Saturday that led to the shooting deaths of Fort White residents
Dennis Lamont Smith, 38, and Erik Antonio Akins, 24. Both died at the scene.
A large crowd saw events unfold outside the bar just after closing time, but most fled before depu-ties arrived.
After the shooting Wingfield was driven to Gainesville by an acquain-tance, according to sheriff’s officials.
It is unclear how he got
to Daytona Beach.Wingfield was taken
into custody about 4 p.m. Sunday at a relative’s home by deputies of the U.S. Marshals Service, sheriff’s officials said.
No one was injured in his capture.
Fishman said the bottle club will remain closed indefinitely.
“I am extremely proud of the efforts that went into this investigation, from all of the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office employ-ees, citizens of Columbia County, and the multiple agencies that were able to assist in bringing this investigation to a close so quickly,” Hunter said.
The sheriff’s office asks that anyone with additional information about the shoot-ing contact the Detective Division at (386) 719-2005. Anonymous tips may also be made through Crime Stoppers of Columbia County at (386) 754-7099 or on the web at www.colum-biacrimestoppers.net/.

A St. Petersburg man wanted in connection with a Pinellas County murder was arrested Sunday morn-ing in Columbia County.
K h o n e s a v a n h Kakhankham, 56, was arrested by Florida Highway Patrol troopers around 10:22 a.m. Sunday after a traffic stop. He was booked into the Columbia County Detention Facility on a warrant for murder.
According to FHP reports, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office issued an alert for Kakhankham on Saturday.
Around 10:19 a.m. Sunday the alert was updat-ed with information that Kakhankham had made a purchase at a Walmart in the Gainesville area within the previous half hour.
Kakhankham’s physi-cal description and vehicle information were issued to all available law enforce-ment units, and moments later, FHP Trooper Hazen
O g d e n a d v i s e d dispatch he had located the suspect v e h i c l e t r a v e l i n g north on Interstate
75 at the 413 mile marker.Ogden monitored
Kakhankham until backup arrived to assist in the arrest. Trooper Keith Slanker joined Ogden and the pair initiated a traffic stop at the 416 mile marker.
A computer check of Kakhankham revealed he was the wanted murder sus-pect from Pinellas County and he was arrested and taken to jail.
According to published reports, Kakhankham is wanted in connection with a shooting of Khamfong Vixayarath, 50, at the Avery Acres Mobile Home Park in Pinellas County. Vixayarath later died at a hospital.
No information was avail-able on what caused the argument.

BRIEFS

The Road Dogs 12U travel baseball team recently returned from the tournament in Cooperstown, N.Y., where the team compiled a 6-3 record and placed 17th in a 104-team field. Team members are (front row, from left) Zac Hardee, Bo Bonds, Noah Carter, Clayt Smith, Hunter Noblitt and Brent Howard.

Cooperstown experienceBy CHRIS HOWARD
Special to the Reporter
The Road Dogs 12U travel baseball team traveled to Cooperstown, N.Y., during the week of July 12-19 and played nine games against some of the best teams around the nation.
In the best baseball facil-ity imaginable, The Road Dogs competed against teams from California, Louisiana, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin. The week of baseball left everyone speechless. The kids stay-ing in dorms at the baseball village was an experience of a lifetime for coaches
and players. The 12-year-olds and one
9-year-old came together as a team for one purpose in Cooperstown, which is what team competition is all about. These kids grew up a lot throughout the week in Cooperstown, within the game of baseball and the game of life. They learned responsibility and to respect others.
Words cannot express how proud I am of all of the kids and parents that made this trip. It was a burden in many ways on all of us that made it, but in the end I think everyone agreed it was worth it.
The Road Dogs finished
the tournament with a 6-3 record and in 17th place out of 104 teams. The three losses came against teams that all were in the final 16. We got some tough breaks or we probably could have finished better, but that’s part of the game.
It was an amazing expe-rience for all of us.
Team members are Ethan Umstead and Dylan Blair of Lake City, Blake Howard, Brent Howard and Bo Bonds of Live Oak, Hunter Noblitt, Clayt Smith, Preston Sutton, Jarren Hodges and Noah Carter of Macclenny, Zac Hardee of Chiefland and Max Sealey of Blakely, Ga.

nFromstaffreports
DEAR ABBY: My hus-band and I have two won-derful sons who joined our family through adoption. While we don’t broadcast that they are adopted, it sometimes comes up in conversation. When it does, people inevitably ask, “What happened to their ‘real’ parents?” or, “Why were they given up?”
I know folks are curi-ous, but these comments are hurtful. The details of my sons’ lives are private, to be shared as they grow in age-appropriate ways. They know they are adopt-ed, but are too young to know the details surround-ing their lives prior to joining our family. I do not want to have an in-depth conversation with every person who asks a nosy question. These questions always seem to come up when the kids are around and I feel unprepared to answer them.
Do you have any sugges-tions for a witty response that can shut down these questions? -- ADOPTED MOM IN INDY
DEAR ADOPTED MOM: That someone would be so insensitive as to pose those questions in front of the children is dis-concerting. While I can’t think of a “witty” response that would deter the ques-tioner, I can think of one
that would be effective. Look the person in the eye, smile and say, “Oh, that’s a long story, but look at what beautiful sons I have. I feel truly blessed.”
** ** ** DEAR ABBY: My
parents died when I was a teenager. In the years since I have noticed strange things. While I don’t find pennies, I do often see streetlights turn off right before I drive under them. I drive a lot at night and in the early morning because I work graveyard shifts, and it seems to happen almost every day when I go to work or come home.
I guess it could be coincidental. But a friend suggested years ago that it’s my parents letting me know they’re watching over me. I want to believe, yet I feel skeptical at the same time. Have you ever heard of anything like it? -- LIGHTS OUT IN FEDERAL WAY, WASH.
DEAR LIGHTS OUT: More important than
what I believe is what you choose to believe. If the reassurance that your par-ents are watching over you brings you comfort, then I am all for it.
** ** **DEAR ABBY: This idea
may appeal to the par-ents of young children: Celebrate “half-birth-days.” (The concept is derived from the “Half-Birthday Song” in “Alice in Wonderland.”)
A year to a young child is a long time. In addi-tion to recognizing the joy that he/she was born, it’s a start to learning the structure of our calendar. It doesn’t have to involve a big party or gifts, just a special activity day with a parent. Our family has observed half-birthdays for 45 years and have found it to be a worthwhile tradi-tion. -- FUN MOM
DEAR FUN MOM: The title of the song you mentioned is actually “The UNbirthday Song,” but I’m in favor of anything that will bring parents and children closer. If the household is headed by a single working parent, then I’ll bet a grand-parent would be delighted for the chance to celebrate that special occasion.

BABY BLUES
HOROSCOPES
DEAR ABBY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t jump to conclusions regarding financial, legal, medical or contractual matters. Do your research and find out firsthand what your options are before taking action. Change may be required, but moderation and practicality must be implemented. ★★★
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Plan a trip to a desti-nation that will enhance a special relationship or that will add to your knowledge or give you the experi-ence you need to improve your current position. A commitment must be hon-ored, or complaints will be made. ★★★
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t show emotion when dealing with peers. Wait and see what others do and say before you react. Your patience will pay off, allowing you to make a good decision that will encourage advance-ment. Don’t mix business with pleasure. ★★★
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take a chance on someone or something that intrigues you. What you discover will help pave the road to greater opportunities. What you learn and experience now will change your direction or life philosophy. Love is highlighted. ★★★★★
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Listen carefully and be prepared to make last-minute changes. Showing your ability to act fast and to accommodate whatever you encounter will make you realize that you are the master of your destiny, allowing you to move for-ward with confidence. ★★
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stop working so hard on behalf of others. You should be promoting and presenting what you do and receiving the rewards you deserve. Share your ideas and put your plans into motion. You will drum up interest and support. Save time for romance. ★★★★
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Back up if someone pushes you in a direction that doesn’t feel right. Offer your services to those you know are grate-ful. A change of plans or company will do you good and help you realize your true potential. ★★★
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The more you are will-ing to do, the more help and praise you will receive. Exploring new places or lifestyles will open a pas-sageway to new begin-nings. Love and romance are in the stars. Live, love and laugh. ★★★
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Look over
your personal papers and current financial situation. Take care of any restric-tions that may stand between you and your plans. Excess will be the enemy and must be moni-tored carefully. Less will definitely equate to more. ★★★
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Share your thoughts, feelings and desires. Love is on the rise, and spending time with someone who shares your interests will lead to promising changes that will bring you greater pleasure. A partnership will encour-age personal growth and improved status. ★★★★
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Size up your situation before you make a move. Keep your emotions in check and refuse to be goaded into something that doesn’t feel right. Take con-trol and make the changes to your life that will ensure advancement and greater security. ★★★
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Interacting with people who share your thoughts, interests and intentions will bring about a favorable plan that will help you turn your ideas into something that can lead to greater prosperity. Romance is on the rise. Celebrate with someone you love. ★★★★★

As a member of Team Fortress Hill, AJ Horne has recently been selected by I.S.K.A. USA Karate Team to compete and represent Lake City and the United States in the 2013 World Karate Championships.
The World Karate Championships are in Kyrenia, North Cyprus, off the coast of Greece on Oct. 29-Nov. 3. Horne will be flying over with his teammates in late October.
Horne will be participat-ing in point fighting, tradi-tional forms and traditional weapons.

His father, Hanshi Andy Horne Sr., is a 9th Degree Black Belt. At 2 years old,
AJ would climb out of his playpen in the dojo and
follow his dad around, mimicking every move his
father would teach. When AJ was 4, his dad officially started him in his martial arts training.
Students at Academy of Martial Arts traveled to Orlando to compete in the U.S. Open World Karate Championships on July 5-6.
Tanner McDaniel placed third in his division in point fighting and was a finalist in traditional weapons with a bo staff.

Kyle Busch wins again at Watkins GlenBy JOHN KEKISAssociated Press
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — There was no slipup on the final lap this time, so Kyle Busch’s victory cel-ebration at Watkins Glen International was as sweet as it gets.
Bumped aside a year ago by Brad Keselowski on the final lap as they sped around an oil-cov-ered track, Busch held the reigning Sprint Cup cham-pion at bay on a two-lap dash to the checkered flag Sunday.
Busch kept his foot on the accelerator a tad lon-ger than usual during his postrace burnout, even sticking half his body out the window while smoke swirled all around and the tires kept churning.
“A big sigh of relief, just a deep breath. Whew!” said Busch, who also was victimized two years ago while leading on a green-white-checkered finish and finished third. “I was just trying to take it all in and figure it all out. The last couple of years here have been tough, and
today it could have been tough again.”
Keselowski finished sec-ond in this race for the third straight time.
“We had a shot at it,” Keselowski said. “I was going to have to wreck him to really get it, and I didn’t want to do that. There’s racing and there’s wrecking. Those are two different things.”
Racing can be all about luck sometimes, and Busch couldn’t get much luckier than he was on this day.
Polesitter Marcos Ambrose dominated the race, leading 51 laps, but his good fortune — he was seeking his third straight Cup win at The Glen — finally ran out just past the halfway point of the 90-lap race.
Crew chief Dave Rogers was planning to have Busch pit on lap 60, but his crew noticed fluid on the track and brought the No. 18 Toyota in a lap early. Busch was in the pits when a caution flew and Ambrose had to pit under yellow, losing his spot to Busch at the front.
