People are talking about . . . Prince Charlie: Out of town, out of touch
(The Buzz, July 18) The news: The governor and his fiancee hobnob with Prince Charles while state economy tanks. “Why has it taken so long to see that our esteemed governor wears no clothes? Stop calling him an empty suit. The naked truth is that he does not have a suit to be empty.” “Since when do fiancees attend meetings with foreign dignitaries? Now I am beginning to think it is more of a vacation then an actual business trip.” “As I’ve been saying all this time, he is a photo-op governor. All he cares about is how good (yuck!) he looks in the pictures.” Timeout for you
(Whoa, Momma!, July 18) The news: A 2-year-old boy has new habit of hitting his mom. Dan had one word for our mommy blogger: “Spank.” Another reader says: “2’s are tough? Wait until he tells you he wants to go to Harvard, needs a car, a pad, some folding and those dukes are at eye-level.”

Troubled dad, deadly end With debts and eviction looming, the man calls 911 and dies in a shootout with police. BY JACKIE ALEXANDER, RITA FARLOW AND DOUG CLIFFORD

PINELLAS PARK — From inside his Shadow Run apartment, Edwin Nunez heard a man cry for help Saturday night. Why me? Why me? An unidentified neighbor heard the screams of a man deranged. Kill me. Just kill me. Neighbor Glendale Stephens
heard the shouts of a man in pain. Stop, stop, you’re hurting me. They all heard deadly gunfire late Saturday when their neighbor, 44-year-old Dallas Carter, stepped out of his apartment, a pistol and a rifle in hand, to confront the police. ••• Pinellas Park police came to Shadow Run Apartments at
12001 Belcher Road, apartment B28, after a caller told a 911 dispatcher at 10:58 p.m. that he was disturbed and armed with a .40caliber pistol. His said his two children, 8- and 13-year-old boys, were in bed. He hung up when asked his name. Police tried Carter’s cell phone, but their calls went to voice mail. As officers arrived minutes later, and as a negotiator attempted to
get in position to speak to him, Carter fired at least 30 rounds from the pistol and a .30-30 hunting rifle. Police said he fired from inside his apartment in various directions. Soon afterward, the children ran from the apartment. At 11:32 p.m. Carter came out of his apartment with the guns pointing at officers in the breezeway, according to police. The officers

fierce wind, a blanket of fog, rain spraying like bullets. ¶ The sudden squall that whipped over Tampa Bay on May 9, 1980, became an indelible part of this region’s history. Inside the storm, the freighter Summit Venture veered off course, a section of the Sunshine Skyway collapsed, and 35 people fell to their deaths. ¶ What’s less well known about the Skyway tragedy is one of its legacies: a network of sensors, buoys and computers that now watch over Tampa Bay. ¶ Another network monitors the wind and waves of Florida’s Gulf Coast, and it’s a legacy of the 1993 no-name storm. ¶ While little known, the two systems provide a surprisingly public way of watching subtle changes and urgent dangers off the Tampa Bay area’s shores. .

Room, board, books and debt Schools and students face higher hurdles to pay for college. BY TOM MARSHALL
Times Staff Writer
Students and families trying to pay for college are facing a complex financial puzzle that routinely requires a dizzying combination of grants, loans and money earmarked for retirement. “It’s crazy,” said Trisha Brewton, a Tampa beautician who has been trying to find the money to send her daughter, Brialle, to Florida A&M University this fall. It’s no cakewalk for schools, either. Over the past year, about 120 lenders have suspended all or part of their federal loan business, citing the loss of federal subsidies or an inability to resell loans. Others have cut discounts or ended their participation at certain schools. At least one local school, Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, has lessened its reliance on private lenders. And students who began their college years with traditional lenders have been forced to look elsewhere. Brewton and her daughter have cobbled together all but $4,000 of a total annual bill she estimated at $17,500. They’re using federal Pell Grants, scholarships, and Stafford Loans, and can tap into savings if they must. “I didn’t want her to have the responsibility to have to pay money back,” she said. “Why pay for that the rest of your life, if you don’t have to?” The Brewtons are in good shape compared with some of the families Congress targeted for help last spring. Under emergency legislation passed in May, parents who fall behind up to 180 days on mortgage or medical payments can still qualify to take out college loans under the federal PLUS program. That’s an improvement on the previous limit of 90 days. But it’s cold comfort for families already head over heels in debt, said Billie Jo Hamilton, director of student financial aid at the Univer.

Monitors gauge disaster potential Based at the University of South Florida’s College of Marine Science in St. Petersburg, the systems can provide instant information to emergency managers, boaters and windsurfers. Web sites show the water levels beside the Skyway or the wind speed at Picnic Island Park, as they are changing. But state and federal budget woes are creating stormy seas for the network that monitors the gulf. Because of a loss of funding, it soon could be difficult to find equipment and staff to keep the wind and wave sensors in good operating condition, said USF marine science professor Mark Luther. “We’re hanging on a precarious thread,” Luther said. ••• Giant freighters chug under the Skyway bridge, and follow the 600-foot wide shipping channel that extends for miles up Tampa bay to the Port of Tampa. Some of the ships are two football fields long. Some of them draft 42 or 43 feet in a channel that can be less than 45 feet deep, Luther said. The Tampa Bay monitoring system, called PORTS, can help. It features wind and wave-checking devices at locations such as the Skyway, Egmont Key and near the Port of Tampa. Data on tides, currents and winds is fed into computer models which helps harbor pilots know when a big ship can safely pass or is likely to get stuck. A paper Luther recently co-authored said ship groundings have dropped 60 percent since PORTS was created. The data provided by thermometers, sensors, wind gauges and other devices also has allowed scientists to learn more about the movement of water through Tampa Bay. It has helped in such diverse tasks as following spills of sewage and other hazardous materials, tracking the movement of fish larvae and evaluating flooding dangers, Luther said. “It’s a system that provides real-time environmental information for better-informed decisionmaking on all aspects of what people do in and around the water,” he said.
Coast. “It’s a wonderful resource,” Butcher said, because the data from stations on or near shore allow him to fine-tune information about nearby storms that he already receives from the National Hurricane Center and Pinellas County. The system is not just for emergency managers. The same data is available to the public on the COMPS Web site. The COMPS system also has helped scientists paint a picture of how water circulates in complex ways up, down and across Florida’s Gulf Coast. It has helped with studies of Red Tide, with safe navigation and other issues. “What we’re trying to do is build a comprehensive coastal observing system,” said Robert H. Weisberg, USF marine science professor. Weisberg recalls a hot July day when he was standing in water off Sanibel Island and felt cool rivulets at his toes. Because of his studies with COMPS data, Weisberg knew the cool water at his toes had come from the Panhandle and down along the gulf floor toward Sanibel. “We’re able to trace the origin of that,” he said. In recent years, COMPS has received regular appropriations of $750,000 from the federal government and $200,000 from state government to maintain the system. But the state’s budget crunch and the increasing federal reluctance to approve “earmarked” funds from Congress means those monies have largely dried up at this moment, Luther said. Luther said COMPS does have an adequate supply of spare sensors but needs more money for such hardware as batteries, solar panels and connectors, plus staff time to fix the devices. “We’re kind of in dire straits,” Luther said.

Melissa Velez, 27, peers into the porch of her neighbor, Dallas Carter, who was killed by Pinellas Park police in a shootout late Saturday. His two children were in bed when he called 911. Carter fired at least 30 rounds from his home, police said.

Troubled dad dies in shootout The children are in the custody of Florida Department of Children and Families. Sunday morning, their bikes, one red and one green, were parked on the patio in the broken glass. “He was just trying to do the best he could by his kids,” said Melissa Harper, a resident of the apartment complex. “My heart breaks for those boys.” Carter left a note, but police have not released its contents. ••• Neighbors said Dallas Carter was a single dad who constantly struggled to pay the bills and put food on the table. He had a pronounced limp from a disabling back injury that forced him to use a cane to get around, they said.
•••
When Hurricane Ivan churned up the Gulf of Mexico in 2004, Tarpon Springs Fire Division Chief Rick Butcher could detect a slight surge in the city’s coastal waters. Butcher, who also serves as the city’s emergency management director, was looking at the Web site for COMPS, which is the network that monitors wind and water up and down Florida’s Gulf
“He always talked about needing help — financially and help with the kids,” said neighbor Kevin Luster, 23. Carter lost his job several months ago after he reinjured his back while working, said neighbor Melissa Velez. Recently, he seemed even more upset. He told neighbors his food stamps had been cut back and he couldn’t pay his water bill. On Saturday, Carter came over to see Velez, 27, who lives across from him. He had an eviction notice with him, she said. Velez and Luster said the apartment complex requires tenants pay their water bill with their rent. A few times over the past year, Carter’s electricity had been
shut off, though he still had power at the time of the shooting, Velez said. When it was off, Velez would let him use her microwave to heat up meals for the children. Velez said she tried to help the family, most recently bringing over a chicken and rice dinner. This past Christmas, she and her mom bought presents for the kids. They delivered them anonymously, she said, to make sure the boys had a present to open. “I haven’t slept very much because of this,” she said. Neighbor Kna Krajan, 24, said Carter’s sons were at her house almost every day to play with her children. Carter was a doting father, she said. “He wants what’s best for his kids, he just doesn’t have the
finances to do it,” she said. Krajan was home at the time of the shooting and heard the gunshots — one of which hit her screen door. “He’s just been so depressed,” she said. “He kept telling us he doesn’t know what to do.” Neighbor L aura Miller reached the same conclusion. “He seemed very, very down, and like he didn’t know where to turn next. He didn’t know what to do,’’ said Miller, 42. Edwin Nunez said he sat awake with his wife and 6year-old son, George, as gunfire erupted below them. He told George that the screaming man went to the hospital. “He’s too young to explain it to,” Nunez said. “I don’t know how to.”

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama speaks to a crowd at a rally recently in Eugene, Ore. He will be in Florida today.
BY ADAM C. SMITH | Times Political Editor
Our columnists dish out advice
If anyone doubts that Barack Obama is shifting his attention from Hillary Rodham Clinton to John McCain and the general election, just consider where he’ll be the next three days: Florida, Florida, Florida. Obama must overcome real challenges to win Florida’s 27 electoral votes, and his tentative schedule seems to acknowledge that, as he’s reaching out to key demographics. Here are four of Obama’s hurdles, and what he’s doing to address them:

Hispanic voters
Jewish voters
Uncounted votes
North Florida
McCain is a proven votegetter among Hispanics, who could account for 15 percent of the electorate. Obama has struggled to win over Hispanics in places like California and Texas, and unlike Clinton, he has no history with Florida’s diverse Hispanic community. On tap: Town hall meeting today in Orlando targeting nonCuban Hispanics. Also, he’s speaking Friday to the Cuban American National Foundation in Miami.
Republicans have been cutting into this once overwhelmingly Democratic bloc, which is about 5 percent of Florida’s electorate. Obama has to contend with an Internet smear campaign depicting him as a closet Muslim, bad for Israel and the preferred candidate of Hamas. On tap: Campaigning with Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Boca Raton, including a stop with Jewish voters in Palm Beach County.
Many Clinton supporters remain genuinely livid about Obama refusing to acknowledge votes from Florida’s disputed primary. “He’s dug his heels in the sand, and it’s hurting him here,’’ said Millie Herrera, a Clinton supporter who leads the Democratic Hispanic Caucus of Florida. On tap: Rally Friday night in Broward County, a Clinton stronghold.
Democrats lose Florida when they get crushed in North Florida, and so far there’s little sign of enthusiasm for Obama (or Clinton) among white Panhandle voters. If he can’t at least get near 40 percent in places like Escambia County, he’ll lose the state. On tap: It will have to wait for another trip.

CLEARWATER — The Federal Trade Commission zeroed in on Pinellas County as a hotbed for fraudulent telemarketing schemes Tuesday as it announced the largest telemarketing sweep in its history. The federal agency filed three lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Tampa against Pinellas companies selling advance-fee credit cards targeting consumers with poor credit. The agency said the cards were misrepresented as general purpose cards, similar to a MasterCard, but in reality, they could be used only to order items from the companies’ own catalogs. In each case, the FTC says the company got consumers to reveal their bank account information, then debited their accounts for upfront fees of $200 to $300. The FTC said some of the companies also debited consumers’ accounts for $30 quarterly maintenance fees without their knowledge, and some required consumers to pay 35 percent of each catalog purchase in cash in order to use their cards. Consumers found it difficult to impossible to cancel and get a refund. The FTC filed lawsuits and obtained temporary restraining orders against: •USA Financial LLC of Clearwater, American Financial Card Inc. of Largo (formerly Capital Finan-

HANOI, Vietnam — For centuries, Vietnamese have worn the non la, the distinctive conical straw hat that shields the face from tropical sun and monsoon rains. But now the non la is being supplanted by another type of headgear: the motorcycle helmet. In a country gone crazy over motorbikes and motor scooters, Vietnamese have shown remarkable compliance with a new law requiring all drivers and passengers to don helmets. “I think when you wear a helmet it is for your safety,” says Lam Thanh Manh, a 23-year-old deliveryman who gets around on an ancient Sym motorbike made in Taiwan. “It is a little hot, though.” While the car is the vehicle of choice in many developing nations, motorbikes have .

also debited consumers’ accounts for $30 quarterly maintenance fees without their knowledge, and some required consumers to pay 35 percent of each catalog purchase in cash in order to use their cards. Consumers found it difficult to impossible to cancel and get a refund. The FTC filed lawsuits and obtained temporary restraining orders against: • USA Financial LLC of Clearwater, American Financial Card Inc. of Largo (formerly Capital Financial Inc.) and principals Jeffrey Deering, Richard Guarino and John Buschel Jr. The company is still operating and says the three men no longer work there. • Integrity Financial Enterprises LLC of Clearwater, which also did business as Infinite Financial and National Benefit Exchange; National Benefit Exchange Inc. of Indian Rocks Beach and officer Robert James Fischbach. The company could not be reached.
• Financial Advisors and Associates Inc. of Largo, which also operated as Freedom Financial and MyUnsecuredCreditCard. com, and company president James Sweet. The company could not be reached. The three lawsuits were among 13 FTC actions and more than 180 cases across the country announced Tuesday in “Operation Tele-PHONEY.” The FTC said the actions in the United States and Canada involve more than $100-million in fraud. FTC regional director Brad Elbein said the American Financial Card scheme alone defrauded consumers out of as much as $15-million and the two other Pinellas cases involved similar large sums. Why would Pinellas County attract so many schemers? “The answer could be as simple as this is a beautiful place to live,” Elbein said. Although the telemarketers operated in the area, officials said there were no local victims
identified. “They don’t hunt where they live,” said Elbein, explaining that they target out-of-state consumers. Half of the 180 cases the FTC cited were in Florida, brought by Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles Bronson and local law enforcement. The cases include a dozen arrests for illegal telemarketing announced last month, including seven people in Pinellas County. “This was just the tip of the iceberg,” said Victoria Butler, chief of the attorney general’s economic crimes division. Other agencies involved in the effort include the Pinellas County Department of Justice and Consumer Services, the Clearwater Police Department and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

911 tape is played in the morning. A prosecutor said Blackwelder, 25, tried to kick in the door of the home where George Anthony Stewart Jr., 24, and his wife, Brittani Key Stewart, were with their toddler twin daughters last year. Blackwelder fired one shot into Stewart’s chest with a gun that belonged to his mother’s boyfriend, Assistant State Attorney Jalal Harb said. He fled to Georgia with Stewart’s wife in her van. Littman said his client was not the shooter and only a “spectator” to the crime. He didn’t say who he thought killed Stewart. He asked jurors to scrutinize the testimony of Brittani Stewart, who married her husband in February 2007, but began a sexual relationship with Blackwelder soon after. She continued that relationship and indicated plans to start a new life with Blackwelder in another state even after obtaining a restraining order against him, the defense attorney said. “While Brittani Key certainly cared for her husband, George Stewart, she loved Mr. Blackwelder,” Littman said. Before the prosecution played the 911 tape, the judge warned Stewart’s family members that they might not want to hear its dramatic contents. They stayed put. George Stewart had placed his first call to authorities Dec. 7 at 3:42 p.m. He sounded calm as he reported that Blackwelder was violating the restraining order by standing on the back porch of the home where Stewart’s wife had been living. On Tuesday, Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said the call was not designated as top priority at that point. Things became more urgent when Stewart called back at 3:47 p.m. He said Blackwelder had just stolen his wife’s van. While Stewart was still on the phone, Blackwelder returned. Stewart said he was going to beat up Blackwelder, but the 911 operator told him to stay inside. “He’s threatening,” Stewart said. “We’ve got an officer on the way,” the operator said.
Timothy Blackwelder is on trial for first-degree murder for the death of George Stewart.
“He better not step one foot in this house,” Stewart said. The operator urged him to be patient. “Don’t do anything stupid,” she said. “Now he’s got a gun pointing at me!” Stewart said. “Oh, my gosh,” the operator gasped. Stewart yelled twice more that Blackwelder had a gun. The operator asked if Blackwelder was inside or outside of the house and — bang — a gun fired. Stewart’s agonizing screams followed. “He just shot me!” Stewart said. Jurors were cleared from the courtroom before hearing the tape end with his moans and labored breaths. McElroy said officers arrived at the scene four minutes after the call was dispatched. Stewart was dead; the toddlers, unharmed. Foster asked the 14 jurors individually whether the chaos would affect their ability to remain fair and impartial. He dismissed one woman from the panel, the only juror who said her opinion might be affected by what she had seen. The defense will argue for a mistrial this morning. Foster seemed disinclined to grant the motion, leaving the issue vulnerable to appeal. The judge refused outright Littman’s request for Joshua Stewart to be held in contempt of court, but banned him from the rest of the trial. Pamela Sansom, Joshua and George Stewart’s mother, tried to make sense of her living son’s actions. “All I can tell you is he’s hurting,” she said. “He lost his only brother.” Colleen Jenkins can be reached at

Drilling? Maybe. Florida? No way.
G
asoline that costs $4 a gallon is the wrong reason for Florida to change its mind about offshore oil drilling. Offshore oil drilling is a long-term proposition. It is not going to do much about our short-term pain of $4-agallon gasoline — it will not keep it from $5, or $6. Neither is this election-year stuff about U.S. “energy independence” any reason for Florida to change its mind. Offshore oil drilling is not going to make us “energy independent.” Not even the oil industry claims such a thing. Only politicians do. And yet, Florida suddenly seems on the verge of abandoning a firm bipartisan consensus against offshore drilling that has governed this state for decades. John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, says we ought to do it — citing, yes, gas prices and “energy independence.” The current president says so, too. So now Florida’s governor, Charlie Crist, has weakened his own long-term opposition, presto, change-o! He has set off a chain reaction of lesser copycats, too. Yet these still are the wrong reasons. They are pandering reasons. They are sloganeering reasons. They are short-term, political exploitation. Is there a case for expanding offshore drilling? You bet. The U.S. uses something like 20-million barrels of oil a day and imports most of it. If we import less, the trade deficit gets better. There are more jobs, more investment. States get royalty checks, too. But we ought to use that breathing room to get better. We have to have a comprehensive strategy to move us away from what we do now. If we just foolishly burn up what we’ve got, in the name of cheap energy, we end up in the same boat, except worse. Independence? Phooey. The estimated U.S. offshore reserves are 86-billion barrels. Assuming we could actually get to it, it would be enough to run the place “independently” for, say, 11 years. And even if the U.S. policy changed today, it would take years to produce new oil. So this is neither a quick fix for today’s gas prices, nor a path to “independence.” This ain’t just whiny me saying this. The oil industry itself and the American Petroleum Institute are careful not to make such claims. The institute says there are many good reasons to drill and to expand domestic production, but it also should be part of a bigger strategy. “We’re going to need more energy of all types,” John Felmy, the institute’s chief economist, told me. “We can’t just stand still. We have to be going forward with a balanced energy policy. Supply is one component of that policy.” Agreed. Yet this still brings us back to Florida and its unique situation. What has changed, really, in this debate? Only the shortterm political clamor. The tradeoffs that Florida faces today are the same as always — the same that led every previous leader, Republican and Democrat, to say Florida can’t afford the risk. Drilling advocates from some other states sometimes accuse Florida of thinking that it is special. You know what? It is. Yessir. It is too special to succumb to false promises of cheaper gas and “energy independence.” Florida is too special to sell out its coast for a royalty check. So, let’s go ahead with it. Let’s pander, let’s make fake promises. And let’s drill, for the benefits that we do get. Just not here.

In 8 years, 100 babies saved Group works to make sure people know where to take unwanted newborns. BY MARIANA MINAYA
Times Staff Writer
The young woman standing at the door of East Lake Fire Station No. 56 needed help. Do fire stations still take unwanted babies? Yes, said Lt. Doug Stryjewski, who followed her to a car, where a newborn was wrapped in a towel on the front seat. The
woman, pale and in her 20s, had given birth that morning. As he took the baby, he asked if she was okay. “I’m fine. I just can’t handle this right now,” she said. Then she got in the car and drove away. That May 30 exchange was remarkable for firefighters, who took turns holding the infant until hospital workers arrived.
But it also was a landmark for the state’s Safe Haven for Newborns program. “Nicholas” was the 100th baby to be dropped off at a fire station or hospital in Florida since the law was passed in 2000 amid numerous reports of babies discarded in trash bins and bathrooms. At the time, Florida was one of 15 states to create such a law.
Now, every state has one. Florida recently expanded its law to allow mothers to leave babies up to 7 days old without fear of criminal prosecution. Previously, the limit was three days. The baby left at the Pinellas County fire station was named after Nick Silverio, who created a nonprofit foundation in 2001 to .

One resident of the Largo complex is hurt; dozens are left homeless. BY JACKIE ALEXANDER
Times Staff Writer
LARGO — Olga Miladinovic heard a whistle about 3 a.m. Wednesday but couldn’t figure it out. Then her boyfriend went outside and saw smoke. Their building at the Belleair Oaks condominiums was in flames. The whistle was the fire alarm. “I didn’t even grab my things,” she said. “My mom was my main concern.” Miladinovic, 32, ran from her first-floor condo upstairs to her mother’s place. But thick black smoke forced her to her knees. She went back downstairs, where she called her
mother on the phone and told her to get out. Nina Miladinovic, 61, said she grabbed her Yorkie, Moose, and opened the door to smoke “so hard and thick on my face I couldn’t breathe.” So she covered her face with a towel before feeling her way out. About 30 residents of the complex on West Bay Drive were left homeless after a three-alarm fire ripped through their building. Largo fire Chief Michael Wallace said firefighters responding to a report of a porch fire found the unit’s roof ablaze. Firefighters focused on evac.

Harried by creditors and lashed by lawsuits, the developers of Trump Tower Tampa have sought the haven of Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Though SimDag-Robel LLC has yet to give up on building the 52-story condo tower, the bankruptcy all but ensures the luxury skyscraper is a long shot. Bankruptcy papers filed Tuesday mention debts of up to $50-million spread among more than 200 creditors. Among the biggest: Colonial Bank, which holds a $3.2-million mortgage on the building lot at 111 S Ashley Drive, and New York tycoon Donald Trump, owed more than $1-million in overdue licensing fees from SimDag. SimDag bankruptcy attorney Jeffrey Warren said clients Jody Simon and Frank Dagostino will try to maximize the value of the lot for creditors. They include dozens of condo buyers who placed 20 percent deposits on units costing from $700,000 to $6-million. “It could be a sale, it could be development of Trump Tower Tampa,” Warren said. “The filing of the bankruptcy doesn’t stop any of the other activities.” Chapter 11 was the crowning blow to three jarring years for Trump Tower Tampa. Trump formally launched the project in early 2005 when he rolled into Tampa with his new bride on his arm. A licensing deal with the New York real estate big shot would give the 190 units instant .

Talk of the Bay YBOR CITY SITE PICKED FOR OBAMA CAMPAIGN Officials with the Barack Obama campaign this week signed a lease to house the campaign’s state headquarters in Ybor City. Offices will fill space in Centro Ybor once occupied by Big City Tavern. “We’re going to take over Centro Ybor,” said U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, who cochairs Obama’s Florida campaign. Meanwhile, two new polls show Obama leading Sen. John McCain in Florida. A new Quinnipiac University poll has Obama at 47 percent, McCain at 43 percent. And a poll by the American Research Group, also out today, has Obama at 49 and McCain at 44.

A June 14 story about the Sons of Confederate Veterans identified the bride’s father incorrectly.
Mayor’s choice goes before council The St. Petersburg City Council this afternoon is scheduled to decide whether to support Mayor Rick Baker’s choice of companies to redevelop Tropicana Field. Developers Archstone and Madison Marquette propose to build more than 1.1-million square feet of retail and almost 2,000 apartments as part of a $1.2-billion overhaul of the site if a new waterfront stadium for the Rays is built. Follow the City Council debate starting at 3 p.m. at the Times’ online stadium blog, Ballpark Frankness, at blogs.tampabay.com/ballpark.
Don’t fill that bill, even if bird begs Feeding the birds isn’t a pastime anymore. It’s a crime. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has made it illegal to feed brown pelicans, which can become so dependent on humans that they abandon their winter migration patterns. The law, which takes effect July 2 and makes the act a second-degree misdemeanor, is directed at large operations like fish houses that dispose of large amounts of scraps. “Our officers aren’t going to be sitting out there watching for little Timmy with his grandfather to feed a pelican,” said FWC spokeswoman Karen Parker.

Crist recovering after operation on ailing knee It’s from an old high school football injury. Gov. Crist “overextended his knee violently,” said his father, Dr. Charles Crist.
BY JENNIFER LIBERTO
Times Staff Writer
Gov. Charlie Crist’s weak left knee forced him to give up governing Florida for roughly 90 minutes Wednesday, while he underwent minor emergency surgery under anesthesia. The governor had to officially give Florida’s reins to Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp from 12:30 to 2:10 p.m. It’s the same knee he injured playing quarterback at St. Petersburg High School at 16. The knee that ended his football career as a walk-on quarterback at Wake Forest University. The knee that made him a swimmer instead of a runner. “He should be fine, he’ll just be on crutches for a couple of days,” said the governor’s father, Dr. Charles J. Crist, who got a call
from his son Tuesday afternoon about the ailing knee. The whole episode was a surprise. The governor didn’t fall or hit his knee, Crist’s father said. He felt something “sort of stick” in his knee and to clear it up, he popped it. “Over-extended his knee violently,” his father said. After that, there was lots of pain and instability, Crist’s father said. So the governor saw radiologist Dr. Manuel Rose at his Palm Harbor office late Tuesday night .
