Gainesville city commission votes to increase GRU rate IT WAS A 4-3 VOTE

By Rosmery Izaguirre Staff Writer

Gainesville Regional Utilities customers might receive slightly higher bills after the City Commision approved a 6.4 percent electric rate increase.

The topic of raising rates had been discussed for months but was voted on during a city commission meeting Wednesday. Gas rates will increase by 0.57 percent, wastewater by 0.42 percent and water by 0.44 percent.

The commission voted to increase property taxes

but set a maximum for the rate, also referred as the millage rate. The current rate in the city is 4.74, the lowest in the county.

“We sent out a trim notice where the millage will not go up over 0.55,” said City Commissioner Adrian Hayes-Santos.

Mayor Lauren Poe said citizens cannot control their property taxes, but they can control their utility bills.

The commission will meet again in July and September to vote on the final increases. Commissioners Gail Johnson, Harvey Ward and Gigi Simmons voted in dissent.

GRU presented an updated budget at the city commission meeting that outlined a five percent electric rate increase and a reduction in the General Fund Transfer (GFT) of $3 million. The GFT is the utilities revenue transferred to the city’s general fund that pays for various city services, such as public transportation.

The utility company initially asked the commissioners to lower the GFT by $6 million rather than increasing it, which would have reduced the impact for customers.

UF Veterinary College teams with Community fights to bail out Miami-Dade to care for animals incarcerated dads for Father’s Day AS PART OF THE PROGRAM, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PAYS UF AN ANNUAL SUM OF $120,958

By Charlie Daffron Staff Writer

Miami-Dade County takes in about 30,000 cats and dogs each year and wants to make sure as many as possible can be cared for.

They’ve found help from UF. On Tuesday, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Jose “Pepe” Diaz sponsored a resolution that would extend the partnership between Miami-Dade County and UF’s College of Veterinary Medicine for another four years.

This resolution will go into effect on June 14,

Four UF baseball players, including shortstop Brady McConnell, were picked in the MLB Draft this week. Quarterback Feleipe Franks was also selected, pg. 11

said Olga Vega, Diaz’s director of communications.

This affiliation, sponsored by Diaz, comes from a resolution formed between UF and the county’s animal services in 2016, Vega said.

Diaz hopes by working with UF’s veterinary program the county will provide service to more animals, Vega said.

Vega said UF was an evident choice for the partnership, as the university is the state of Florida’s only veterinary college.

Miami-Dade County Animal Services takes in about 500 dogs and cats per week, said Alex Munoz, the county’s director of animal services.

who are separated by bars because they cannot afford to pay bail.

Fight Toxic Prisons and other community activists are raising money to get as many fathers out of Alachua County Jail as possible in time for Father’s Day. According to Donorbox, a crowdfunding website, the organizers have raised $1,386.50 as of Wednesday. The goal is $20,000.

On June 17 at 10 a.m., there will be a rally outside of the jail, where fam-

ily members of inmates will share their stories and organizers will talk about problems caused by the criminal justice system using excessive bail, Tsolkas said.

“Bond is not about public safety, because if you have enough money, you can walk out of the [jail’s] door,” he said.

Organizers have already contacted several families of inmates who want to be bailed out,

Over $1,000 has been donated FATHER’S DAY, from pg. 1 Tsolkas said. The fathers they hope to help, including Todd, are facing charges but have yet to be convicted of any crimes.

Event organizers include The Legal Empowerment and Advocacy Hub; The Freedom Fund; The Gainesville Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee; Music. Arts. Movement. Action!

Club and several others, Tsolkas said.

Local bail bondsman Lee Calhoun, 48, said inmates must pay the full bond amount the court requests if they don’t use a bondsman to bail them out.

If an inmate uses a bondsman, they pay the bondsman a nonrefundable 10 percent of the bail amount, and the bondsman

then pledges to a judge that the inmate will show up for court, Calhoun said. If the inmate does not show up to court, the bondsman is held responsible for the debt.

“Bonds ensure [inmates] are held accountable,” Calhoun said.

Todd, 27, was charged with aggravated assault with a weapon without intent to kill, said his mother, Bell. He has been in jail since October 2018.

Bell, 45, said her son’s incarceration has affected his family emotionally, financially and spiritually. The amount of money needed to get Todd out of jail is not within reach for her.

“It’s like a death sentence to the families who cannot afford to even talk to their loved ones on the phone,” Bell said.

She said common expenses

include phone calls, commissary fees used to purchase personal goods through the jail and travel fees in case the family member is incarcerated far from home.

“It’s just money coming out of every part of your body just to see your loved one,” she said.

Bell, a child care provider, said people must remember young children need to see their fathers. All three of Todd’s children are under the age of 12.

“There are things that sit in your mind all day, but you have to carry on,” Bell said.

The bailout has provided Todd and Bell with some hope, she said.

“If Gerlmy comes home, that probably will be the best gift he’s had in 10 or 15 years,” Bell said.

Gerlmy Todd, 27, was arrested in October 2018 for aggravated assault with a weapon without intent to kill. He is the father to three children under the age of 12.

UF to receive $120,958 annually Property tax also voted to raise MIAMI UF VET, from pg. 1 animal shelter, where they are given necessary medical treatment, spayed or neutered and prepared for adoption, Munoz said.

The resolution says every two weeks the shelter will get a new group of about six students who will participate in a mini-residency, Munoz said. The students will work with the shelter animals, learn hands-on medical care from shelter staff and participate in spaying and neutering surgical procedures.

“It’s a huge help to have the extra hands at the shelter,” Munoz said. “It also works out great because we get to help contribute to the development of future vets.”

As part of the program, Miami-Dade County pays the university $120,958 annually.

UF College of Veterinary Medicine Interim Dean and Executive Associate Dean Tom Vickroy said the money is used to help house the students when they are working at the shelter and helps pay the salary of a permanent staff member the college hired at the shelter to act as a liason.

He went on to say the program has gone a long way to helping the college achieve its mission of teaching and training students for their future careers in the field.

The college is excited to continue its relationship with the shelter, he said.

“It’s a wonderful program,” Vickroy said.

“All the students who go really enjoy it.” @charlie_daffron cdaffron@alligator.org

GRU, from pg. 1 Simmons said the proposed budget concerned her as the increased residential electric rates potentially put the city among the highest in the state.

“You cannot address the challenges we have as a community by reducing the level of service that our customers both expect and need,” Mayor Poe said.

Poe said a proposed Renter’s Bill of Rights will set basic energy efficiency standards that will help lower-income residents who mostly live in rentals. It will have a positive effect on customers’ bills and a negative effect on GRU revenue.

“A challenge for GRU, but it still makes it the right thing to do,” Poe said.

During public comment, citizens and customers of GRU asked commissioners to consider other options before resorting to an increase for taxpayers. Ernesto Martinez, a Gainesville resident and GRU customer, addressed the committee to voice his disapproval for the proposed increases.

“This failure of your own making is destroying our low-income population in this city,” Martinez said. “And it is evidenced by the people that cannot pay their light bill.”

Lake Alice alligator takes a chomp at couple’s picnic TWO UF STUDENTS ENJOYED A PICNIC WHEN AN ALLIGATOR ATE MOST OF THEIR FOOD

By Tori Whidden Staff Writer

This gator couldn’t find a mate, but that did not stop him from going on a date.

Taylor Forte, a 21-year-old UF civil engineering senior, made a picnic for her fiancé, Trevor Walters, by Lake Alice last Thursday night. The two had planned the evening as a farewell, since Walters was about to leave for 10 weeks for a training session.

The pair did not anticipate the added company of a 7-foot-long rowdy reptile.

“After 30 minutes of being there, we were just enjoying ourselves and even watched a few baby gators play.

But out of nowhere, a big gator made a beeline for us from the water,” Forte said.

As the gator approached, the couple backed away from their picnic unaware of what it was going to do. Immediately, it went for the duo’s food.

“The gator went up to our food, grabbed the block of cheese, threw it up in the air and then ate it in one go,” Forte said.

After gulping down the cheese, she said the alligator consumed their watermelon, grapes, salami and an entire bowl of guacamole.

The couple both grew up in Florida and were aware of the alligators in the lake because of their frequent visits, but they never experienced something like this before, Forte said.

“It acted like a dog,” she said. “I’ve never seen a gator act like this.”

William Properzio, director of environmental health and safety at UF,

Courtesy of Taylor Forte

wrote in an email that April through June is primary alligator mating season, and there is generally more activity during this time of the year.

UF is not aware of any alligator and human encounters on campus since the 1980s. During that time, small offshore islands were constructed in Lake Alice, providing them with an area to gather that is off the shoreline, Properzio said.

The university works with the state wildlife officials to relocate any large alligators that are coming to shore, but he is not aware of what action has been taken with respect to this particular animal, Properzio said. @tori_whidden twhidden@alligator.org

Parkland deputy faces heavy charges

By CURT ANDERSON and TERRY SPENCER Associated Press

Courtesy of Taylor Forte

Taylor Forte, a 21-year-old UF civil engineering senior, prepared a picnic with her fiancé, Trevor Walters, last Thursday evening (topright). After about 30 minutes, an alligator came out of Lake Alice and consumed their entire set up (above).

The Florida deputy who knew a gunman was loose at the Parkland high school but refused to go inside to confront the assailant was arrested Tuesday on 11 criminal charges related to his inaction during the massacre that killed 17 people.

Scot Peterson was on duty as the resource officer at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on the day of the February 2018 shooting but never entered the building while bullets were flying.

He was charged with child neglect, culpable negligence and perjury — allegations that carry a maximum prison sentence of nearly 100 years.

Peterson was seen on surveillance video rushing with two staff members toward the building where the shooting happened.

When they arrived, he pulled his weapon and went forward but then retreated and took up a position outside, where he stood with his gun drawn.

The charges follow a 14-month investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which conducted interviews with 184 witnesses, reviewed hours of

surveillance videos and compiled 212 investigative reports, the agency said.

Peterson “did absolutely nothing to mitigate” the shooting, FDLE Commissioner Rick Swearingen said in a statement. “There can be no excuse for his complete inaction and no question that his inaction cost lives.”

Peterson, 56, was jailed on $102,000 bail. If released, he will be required to wear a GPS monitor and surrender his passport and will be prohibited from possessing a gun, the prosecutor said.

Heatwave basketball program keeps Gainesville youth active during summer THE PROGRAM TEACHES BOTH BASKETBALL DRILLS AND LIFE SKILLS

By Ashley Lazarski Staff Writer

A local Gainesville summer camp has been keeping children out of trouble and on the courts for over a decade.

Over 600 children ages 9-18 will learn about life and layups at Gainesville’s Summer Heatwave basketball program, said Guillermo Chacon, Heatwave’s recreational leader in charge of athletics.

Since the program was founded 11 years ago, it has helped reduce the juvenile crime rate by 68 percent during

the summer, Chacon said.

According to Chacon, the program emphasizes both basketball and life skills. While teams train and compete against one another, they also learn how to work together and individually to maintain their good character, he said.

“The goal is to provide children with the opportunity to participate in structured, coordinated activities in the gym, not the streets,” Chacon said.

During the program, participants learn about the “Six Pillars of Character,” which are created by the educational program Character Counts. These pillars are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship, Chacon said.

Last summer, 627 children participated in the program, and

this year, organizers anticipate meeting that number or even surpassing it, Chacon said. Gendered and coed teams meet at both the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center and Abraham Lincoln Middle School.

Over the years, Chacon has noticed a tangible impact this program has on both the youths themselves and the community as a whole.

Though this free program costs the city $104.75 per child, the cost to incarcerate a young person is $219 per day. Not only are kids kept out of trouble, the city saves money in the long run, Chacon said.

To Chacon, the most rewarding experience is getting to see children who have participated in the program for several years continue to learn and grow.

“It’s nice to see that they’re staying on course and on the right track,” Chacon said.

Nick Margjoni, the head basketball coach for Bronson team, said he played basketball as a kid and knows how rewarding it can be. Since the school he coaches for is very small, and he often has difficulty locating leagues for them to play in, he said he is grateful for the opportunity to participate in Heatwave this summer.

“It’s very well organized. All of the kids love it. And it keeps them out of trouble,” Margjoni said. “It’s an awesome environment. I couldn’t ask for a better league to play in.” @AshleyLazarski Alazarski@alligator.org

County program to waive collection fees THE INITIATIVE WILL WAIVE COLLECTION FEES ON TRAFFIC FEES AND COURT COSTS

By Meagan DiPolo Alligator Staff

Picture this: you get a traffic ticket. You can’t pay it off, so there’s a late fee. You can’t pay the late fee, so there’s a collection fee. You definitely can’t afford it now, so your license gets suspended.

What options do you have?

A new Alachua County program,

Project Fresh Start, may help.

The initiative will waive collection fees on traffic and court costs and coincide with a driver’s license clinic for those who need to get their licences restored.

From June 10-14, residents can call or go to either of the two courthouses — located at 220 S. Main St. and 201 E. University Ave. — to pay their fines. J.K. Irby, Alachua County Clerk of the Court, said the aim is to help those who need a hand.

“It is an opportunity for folks who have fallen behind in court costs to go ahead and get those taken care

,

of,” Irby said. “It’s the clerk’s office trying to help some folks clear off some past debts of court obligations that may be holding them back.”

Only collection fees, which occur after a payment has not been made within a 90-day period, will be waived — late fees will not be, Irby said.

According to the clerk’s office, there are thousands of outstanding collection fees.

Collection fees are 30 percent of the ticket price for civil traffic citations and 35 percent of the ticket for criminal traffic citations, according

Kelly Hayes / Alligator Staff

to the clerk’s office.

In the same week, the clerk’s office will host a driver’s license clinic on June 13, in which residents with suspended licenses can make a plan to get their license restored.

Irby said the office is looking to help the entire community including those whose drivers licenses were suspended due to unpaid traffic tickets.

While the clinic may happen again, Irby said the community should not count on it being an annual event.

Courtney Rouse, a 25-year-old Gainesville resident of four years, said she agrees with giving second chances to those who cannot afford the collection fee.

“In the end, the tickets are there to make us safer,” Rouse said. “But if they make people worry about their income and license, it’s not really helping.”

Ripley Olmstead, a 20-year-old UF anthropology sophomore, thinks the initiative is a step in the right direction in breaking the cycle of monetary penalties those in poverty face.

Vicious cycles of poverty result from a lot more factors than these fees, though, Olmstead said.

“I’d like to see this kind of program on a much larger scale,” Olmstead said. “For long-term change, there needs to be larger impacts.” @MeaganDiPolo

· CRIME ROUNDUP · Hawthorne man arrested for Ocala woman arrested in repeatedly burglarizing of home Gainesville for stolen vehicle HE VISITED THE RESIDENCE AT LEAST FOUR TIMES, ACCORDING TO A POLICE REPORT

By Rachael Schirmer Staff Writer

Alachua County Sheriff’s Office deputies put a May mystery to rest Monday after arresting a Hawthorne man for burglarizing a residence on at least four separate occasions.

Deputies responded to a call about a suspected burglary May 22. The owner of the residence returned home to find all of his doors unlocked. Deputies discovered boards covering a hole in a wall that once held a water heater had been removed, according to the police report.

Douglas Atkinson, 64, was caught on a remote camera, which is used for tracking game and installed by the owner of the home, entering the house through the hole. Review of further footage revealed Atkinson entering the home on three other occasions, once May 16 and twice May 20, according to the report.

Atkinson could be seen taking a stainless steel sink, pieces of plywood and a television throughout the footage.

After conducting a pawn shop history search, deputies found Atkinson Atkinson pawned a chainsaw April 27.

While shown in his footage, the homeowner confirmed the chainsaw was also taken from his residence, according to the report.

Law enforcement arrested Atkinson at his home where the sink and television were recovered. Atkinson denied ever taking the chainsaw that led to his arrest.

Atkinson was charged with burglary, fraud, dealing in stolen property and larceny. Atkinson was released on bail as of Wednesday. @rschirmerr rschirmer@alligator.org

SHE GAVE A FALSE NAME TO OFFICERS DURING ARREST

By Rachael Schirmer Staff Writer

Alachua County Sheriff’s deputies arrested an Ocala woman after a routine patrol late Tuesday night turned up a stolen vehicle from Marion County.

Deputy Frank Atiles patrolled the intersection of Southeast Eighth Avenue and Southeast Hawthorne Road when he noticed a blue 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis driving east, according to the arrest report.

When he ran the tag number, Deputy Atiles found the car was reported stolen on Monday. He followed the car, which turned around and started driving west, down Hawthorne Road, according to the report.

When Latonia Rhodes, 43, stopped the car at 33 NE 22nd St., Deputy Atiles turned on his emergency lights. In ad-

dition to Rhodes, there was another person in the vehicle. Atiles asked Rhodes and the passenger to remain inside while waiting for additional deputies to arrive on the scene.

Rhodes Rhodes was arrested and charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle. No charges were filed against the passenger, according to the report.

Upon booking at the jail, it was revealed Rhodes gave a false name of Denise Leavings to law enforcement at the scene of the incident. The documents regarding the arrest had to be changed, and she was additionally charged with giving a false ID. Rhodes remains in Alachua County Jail in lieu of a $20,000 bond. @rschirmerr rschirmer@alligator.org

A

lmost 20 million Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp customers’ personal information may have been accessed through a cyberattack on its billing company, American Medical Collection Agency. From Aug. 1 to March 20, hackers had access to the information. We are giving a dart to the hacking as it put 11.9 million Quest Diagnostics and 7.7 million LabCorp patients’ information at risk. On Monday, Quest Diagnostics disclosed the cyber attack in its Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The day after Quest Diagnostics rang in the bad news, LabCorp said, ‘yeah...me too.’ For LabCorp, about 200,000 customers’ bank account and credit card information was stolen. Luckily, no medical data or laboratory results were compromised.

The number of vaccinated UF students confirmed to have the mumps is up to 24. We are giving a dart to the outbreak that has plagued Alachua County. It is important not to share drinks, utensils or kisses during this testing time as the viral disease can be spread through saliva. It seems safe to say a night out at Midtown could be even more of a hazard zone than it usually is with spare cups/straws everywhere and people just standing around the corner ready to kiss you. Stay safe out there by throwing your cups away so no one accidentally drinks it, and keep your French kisses to yourself.

On Saturday, the world said goodbye to a culinary legend: Leah Chase. Known as the Queen of Creole Cuisine, Chase was an author, television personality and owner of Dooky Chase, one of the only New Orleans public places where African Americans could rendezvous and talk civil rights strategy during the 1960s. We are giving Chase a laurel not only for her life’s achievements but also because through her restaurant, she created a safe place for the black community in New Orleans. In 2010, Chase was inducted into the James Beard Foundation’s Who’s Who of Food & Beverage in America, which is essentially the hall of fame of food. She died at the age of 96.

The House passed a bill on Tuesday potentially creating a path to citizenship for Dreamers. We are giving a laurel to the legislation as it would provide U.S. residents brought to the country as children an opportunity to gain citizenship to a country many of them have always called home. Almost all Democrats voted in favor of the bill along with seven Republicans. If the bill passes the Senate, nearly 2.3 million undocumented citizens who came to the U.S. as children would be eligible for legal status. Unfortunately, the Republican-majority Senate will probably not pass the bill or the president will veto it. On Monday, the White House Office of Management and Budget brought up concerns the legislation would increase the deficits and “only exacerbate illegal immigration.”

Lastly, we are giving a laurel in respect to the 12 victims of the Virginia Beach shooting. On Friday, DeWayne Craddock went from one room to the next, fatally shooting a dozen people in the city’s municipal building. Five others were injured.

According to CNN, all but one of the victims were Virginia Beach city employees. On Wednesday night, the Associated Press reported police were not able at one point to enter the building and confront the shooter because they did not have the key card required to open the second floor doors. Craddock had been a city employee for the past 15 years. He had a security pass. He also used a silencer and high-capacity magazine. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is calling for “votes and laws, not thoughts and prayers.” Rightfully so.

Local rapper says “put the guns down” Photos by Chris Day / Alligator Staff

Nytrell Greenlee, 29, stands in front of a gathered group of family and friends while filming his “Put the Guns Down” music video. The crowd amassed behind him includes loved ones of local gun violence victims. Lyrics to Greenlee’s song include “please put the guns down” and “don’t wanna see your momma cry.” In Alachua County, there have been 51 incidents and seven deaths from guns in 2019, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

Pastor Karl Anderson (left), 45, leads a prayer for Marsha Simmons (right) Monday night during a vigil against gun violence at Depot Park. The vigil was held as part of a music video shoot for Greenlee’s (middle) song “Put the Guns Down.” Simmons’ son, Craig Brewer, was killed April 7 while paying for customers’ meals at the Waffle House on 7611 W. Newberry Road. “I want everybody to know gun violence is not the answer,” Simmons said. “I lost my son at the Waffle House. I haven’t been the same since.”

Greenlee acts out pointing a gun to the camera while filming the music video for his song “Put the Guns Down.” Greenlee, an Archer resident, said he wrote the song around the time that Brewer was killed and rapper Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed in Los Angeles. “You see [gun violence] outside of Gainesville,” he said. “But once it hits home, I feel like it’s time to take a stand against it.”

Nytrell Greenlee leads the vigil participants on a walk through Depot Park as part of his music video Monday night. He said he has always been musically inclined and wanted to create a song regarding gun violence. “I see this happening and I just feel like I need to make something positive out of it,” Greenlee said.

‘Hell in Paradise’: a refreshing take on pop-rock THE RECENTLY RELEASED EP IS THE START OF A NEW MUSICAL ERA FOR GAINESVILLE’S ARROWS IN ACTION Nick Hudson Alligator Staff Writer

This week, we had reassurance that pop-rock is, in fact, not dead.

Gainesville pop-rock band Arrows in Action released their third EP, “Hell in Paradise,” on Friday.

The new record marks a shift in the style and tone of their music as they become a more experienced and polished band.

Victor Viramontes-Pattison, the band’s vocalist and rhythm guitarist, said the band decided to simplify and focus on expanding their music to new audiences.

NIGHTLIFE

Celebrate pride with Queeraoke CIVIC MEDIA CENTER WILL HOST FIRST LGBTQIA FOCUSED KARAOKE EVENT FRIDAY

By Priya Dames Avenue Staff Writer

Starting at 9 p.m on Friday, the Civic Media Center will be opening its stage to anyone who would like to sing. It only has one rule.

“Sing any song you want, just no songs that are sexist, transphobic or hurtful in any way,” said Em Arnold, a recent UF alumni and coordinator of the event.

The event, located at 433 S. Main St., is free to all, but donations and tips are suggested. Participants are encouraged to bring an instrument to play with their songs.

Manu Osorio, a board member of the center, said the idea was created by a group of karaoke-loving friends who saw opportunity for an inclusive karaoke night.

“We wanted a karaoke night that was hosted by queer people for local queer friends,” Osorio said.

The event offers the local LGBTQIA community an opportunity to meet other queer people in a different type of setting.

“You can come, be yourself and be accepted,” Arnold said. “Make friends and have a blast without the fear of being misgendered or running into any other problems.”

Arnold and Osorio look forward to making this a regular event on the first Friday of every month.

“It is important for us to make these events public to be able to attract queer folks that haven’t yet become involved in the community,” Osorio said. @priya_dames pdames@ufl.edu

EP, we dropped anything unnecessary,” Viramontes-Pattison said. “We started focusing hard on what we wanted to do, how to promote it, how to shop it around to people and how to get it out to as many people as possible.”

The EP also introduces two new members, with guitarist Matt Fowler and bassist Tony Farah joining ViramontesPattison and drummer Jesse Frimmel.

Arrows in Action have a recording philosophy of no B-sides, meaning each song should be able to stand on its own as if it were a single. Every song on “Hell in Paradise,” being well-crafted and capable of standing up to scrutiny, achieves this goal.

The entire EP has high energy and a consistent fast tempo. Regardless of whether you are playing the EP straight through or on shuffle, the songs fit seamlessly together.

The songs are more focused on melody than lyrics. Moving away from lyri-

cally driven music is the greatest departure from Arrows in Action’s earlier EPs. It is very difficult to pinpoint what the best song on the EP is as each piece has its place on the record.

That being said, “Chasing Rhymes” is a standout song because it deviates from the structure of the rest of the record. It is lighter than the other songs and has a heavier focus on the lyrics. “Chasing Rhymes” references Arrows in Action’s lyric-focused earlier records while still maintaining the newfound musical depth found throughout the rest of “Hell in Paradise.”

If you are looking to relive the glory days of pop-rock, then this is a fantastic EP to pick up.

“Hell in Paradise” is available for purchase and download on Spotify, iTunes and on Arrows in Action’s Bandcamp. @Nick_R_Hudson nhudson@alligator.org

PofhalStudiosPresents‘TheLittleMermaid’ Brittany Wallace Avenue Staff Writer

Six days out of the week, Amy Barup happily drives an hour from Ocala to Gainesville to take her son Tucker Gokey to his dance lessons at Pofahl Studios.

Gokey, 13, and other students at Pofahl Studios, ages 3 to 18, showed their skills at the end-of-the-year recital Sunday with their rendition of “The Little Mermaid” at the Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.

At 6 p.m., a hush spread through the crowd of 597 people as the red curtains rose to reveal a projection of the underwater castle from the original Disney film. Barup had been in the audience for about an hour.

“It’s very exciting to see [Tucker’s] progression throughout the school year,” Barup said before the show.

Pofahl Studios co-owner Judy Skinner, 74, said the annual recital has been a tradition since 1957, a year after her mother, Mary El-

len Pofahl, founded the studio. Now, Skinner and her sister, Kim Tuttle, run it. This year’s show has been in the works since January.

The show started strong with the intermediate and advanced jazz class performing “Under the Sea.” The dancers flew across the stage in Hawaiian shirts and straw hats.

Parents’ phones were glued to their hands snapping photos and videos of the dancers on stage.

Seniors, performing with the studio for the last time, had solo parts in the show. Although not a senior, Tucker performed a solo as well. He played the crab advisor to Ariel, Sebastian, in the show, but his dance was anything but crabby. In a bright red bodysuit, he gracefully leaped across the stage doing a rapid succession of pirouettes and flips, which was recieved with an eruption of whoops and cheers from the audience.

At the end of the first act, Ursula, played by the 18-year-old Kennedy Monroe, stormed the stage like a deranged empress. The senior

recently graduated from PK Yonge Developmental Research School. She has been dancing since age 3 and started at Pofahl in 2013.

At the end of the performance, Skinner, also a director at Pofahl Studios, gave presents out to the seniors and scholarships to Pofahl Studio to students.

“I was absolutely delighted, and I think all of the kids felt good about how they performed that night,” she said.

Overall, the night was a bittersweet moment for Monroe as she cried and hugged her friends goodbye. Monroe was leaving the next morning for a flight to Louisiana as she planned to attend Louisiana State University in the Fall as a psychology major.

“The people at the studio are my closest friends,” Monroe said. “They are like a second family to me, so it’ll be hard to leave them.” @BtNwallace bwallace@alligator.org

FOOD

Restaurants join forces for something ‘Greater’ THE ANNUAL FUNDRAISER HAS DONATED MORE THAN HALF A MILLION DOLLARS TO GAINESVILLE CHARITIES

By Harley Smith Avenue Staff Writer

It’s not every day business owners get cozy with the competition. However, this Sunday at the O’Connell Center, more than 40 of Gainesville’s staple restaurants are coming together for a larger purpose.

Charity organization Taste of Greater Gainesville is the reason behind this friendly gathering of Gainesville’s favorite eats.

Since 2009, the organization has hosted a fundraiser, also of the same name, to raise money and awareness for children’s charities. Local vendors like Vale Food Co.,

Swamp Head Brewery, Metro Diner and Dragonfly Sushi serve signature food and drinks to the event’s attendees.

DJ Hood, managing partner at Metro Diner, believes supporting causes that the community cares about is a win-win for everybody.

“I like to get involved with things that are important to my guests,” Hood said. “Wherever we can help out and do things, I think that’s a plus.”

Tasting mouth-watering food and drinking cold ones isn’t the only thing you should expect at the Taster of Greater Gainesville.

The event also includes a silent auction and an iron chef competition.

Local chefs will go head-to-head and cook their best dishes, which will be scored by celebrity judges. Angie Shaghaghi,who appeared on Food Network’s “Chopped,” will be there to judge.

For eight years, the organization has donated more than $500,000 to charities, according to its website.

This year, the money raised will benefit Child Advocacy Center of Gainesville, Tyler’s Hope for a Dystonia Cure, PACE Center for Girls Alachua and Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Central Florida.

Regular admission tickets cost $125, and VIP tickets, which let you skip lines to sample foods, cost $175. You can purchase the tickets and become an event sponsor online.

For those that want to give back and enjoy the event but don’t quite have the funds, you can volunteer at Taste of Greater Gainesville for free admission. For more information, visit Taste of Greater Gainesville’s volunteer sign up online. @harleyj_smith harleyjune8@gmail.com

Multiple Florida athletes picked in 2019 MLB Draft

By Evan Lepak Sports Writer

The 2019 MLB Draft concluded on Wednesday after 40 rounds passed and over 1,200 prospects were selected.

The Florida baseball team had four current members selected in this year’s draft.

Shortstop Brady McConnell, designated hitter Nelson Maldonado, right-hander Tyler Dyson and left fielder Wil Dalton were all picked up by Major League clubs.

McConnell went first among all Florida prospects, getting selected by the Kansas City Royals with the 44th pick during the second round.

The sophomore was UF’s best hitter this season, leading the team in home runs (15) and hits (76).

McConnell will join former Gators Brady Singer and Jackson Kowar, who were both picked by the Royals in the first round of the 2018 MLB Draft.

Over the last three years, five UF pitchers have gone in the first round.

This year, Dyson was the first Gator pitcher off the board when the Washington Nationals picked him on Tuesday in the fifth round with the 153rd overall pick.

The junior had an up-and-down year, as he found himself outside of the weekend rotation in April after beginning the year as the

TRACK

team’s main starter on the mound.

Dyson has a solid fastball and pitched well toward the end of the season, but his inconsistency hurt his draft stock.

Dalton, the 257th overall pick in the eighth round, was drafted by the Boston Red Sox. The junior, who transferred to Florida from Columbia State Community College in Tennessee, had an impressive two years in Gainesville. He belted 27 homers in his time at UF to go along with 94 RBIs. He’ll join former Florida players Brian Johnson, Austin Maddox, Bobby Poyner and Josh Tobias in the Red Sox organization.

The last UF baseball player picked had his name called in the 21st round.

Maldonado is now a member of the Chicago Cubs organization after being selected with the 642nd overall pick.

The senior captain had a decorated career at UF that included three trips to Omaha and a national championship.

This season, Maldonado had the best batting average on the team (.343) and a careerhigh 10 long balls.

This year’s draft did have a surprise on Wednesday during the later rounds.

“I’m flattered the Red Sox picked me this afternoon,” Franks said in a release. “However, I’m living out my dream being the quarterback of the Florida Gators.”

This wasn’t the first time the Red Sox have taken a chance on a Florida quarterback.

UF competing at NCAA Outdoor Championships in Texas

By Graham Marsh Sports Writer

Chris King / Alligator Staff

Grant Holloway could win his third-straight NCAA outdoor high hurdle championship this weekend.

Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks, who last played baseball in high school, was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the MLB Draft. Franks said he was "flattered" in a release.

Two events, three years, six championships.

That is what junior Grant Holloway is trying to accomplish this weekend at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He could become the first person in NCAA history to win the indoor and outdoor high hurdle championship three years in a row.

However, Holloway did not finish the prelims on Wednesday with the best time (13.18). Kentucky’s Daniel Roberts, who has challenged Holloway and sometimes beat him throughout the season, came away with the meet’s best time after the qualifying round (13.06). The final race, and Holloway’s chance at the sweep, comes on Saturday. It should be one of the tightest races all weekend between those two.

The other action that kicked off the event on Wednesday included Florida’s 4x100-meter relay team. The quartet of Holloway, sophomore Hakim Sani Brown, junior Raymond Ekevwo and senior Ryan Clark crossed the line in 38.35 seconds. That time was good enough for

first place coming out of prelims. LSU had the best time in the nation all season until Wednesday.

Brown ran an automatic qualifying 200-meter as well, clocking in at 20.44 seconds. He also ran the 100-meter and finished with the second-best time coming out of prelims at 9.96, just four thousandths of a second behind Texas Tech’s Divine Oduduru.

The throwers also competed on Wednesday. Both sophomore Thomas Mardal and redshirt senior AJ McFarland threw personal bests in the hammer throw and earned points for UF. Mardal finished the event fourth at 73.10 meters while McFarland took sixth at 71.68.

Along with Holloway, the men’s team as a whole can sweep the indoor and outdoor national championships in 2019. It enters Austin, Texas, as a major contender, with the second most entries of any school at 16. However, the hottest men’s team all year has been Texas Tech, which enters the weekend with 19 entries.

While this would be the Red Raiders’ first title, the Gators are in familiar territory. The UF men are hoping to win their fifth title since 2009.

The women’s side places Florida at

Florida to face Charlotte in 2023 The UF football team has made the first addition to its 2023 non-conference slate by scheduling a home game with the Charlotte 49ers of Conference USA. It will be the first ever meeting between the two programs.

No. 10 with nine entries entering the weekend. While the rankings are based off how many entries each team has, that does not mean that all entries carry the same weight.

Senior Sharrika Barnett comes in as the overwhelming favorite to win the 400-meter dash. She is the only female to run sub51 seconds this year at 50.96. Barnett also enters as a contender for the 200-meter title. She currently sits at No. 2 nationally at 23.63, 11 milliseconds behind Florida State freshman Karimah Davis.

Yanis David also enters the weekend as a favorite, ranking No. 1 nationally in both the long and triple jump. The triple jump is her better event. She sits comfortably ahead of the rest of the country at 14.35 meters. The next best jump comes from Mississippi State’s Tiffany Flynn at 13.87.

The long jump is much tighter, however. David’s 6.65-meter jump is just ahead of Alabama’s Kiara Williams and Texas A&M’s Tyra Gittens, who both have jumps of 6.53 meters.

Florida men’s golf coach set to make PGA Tour debut

By Bryan Matamoros Sports Writer

J.C. Deacon returns to the links today, this time as a player instead of a coach.

The 36-year-old played professionally on the Gateway Tour and Canadian Tour before becoming an assistant coach at UNLV, his alma mater, in 2011. In the summer of 2014, he took over as coach for the Florida men’s golf team, a position he still holds today.

Now, Deacon will make his PGA Tour debut after his score of even par in the qualifying round on Monday earned him

the final spot at the 2019 RBC Canadian Open in Ancaster, Ontario.

The RBC Canadian Open will take place at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club for the first time since 2012 and sixth time overall.

Several top-ranked players will be among those vying for the tournament’s $7.6 million purse, including No. 1 Brooks Koepka, No. 2 Dustin Johnson and No. 4 Rory McIlroy.

Although the event consists of four rounds of stroke play from Thursday to Sunday, not every golfer will have the chance to complete the 72-hole event. Only the 70 golfers (out of 156) with the lowest

scores after the second round make the cut and advance to the third round.

Deacon was a semifinalist at the U.S. Amateur in 2005 and clinched two Minor League Golf Tour titles in 2007.

The Toronto native played in 35 events over a three-year span (2008-10) on the Canadian Tour, making the cut in 17. His fourth-place showing at the 2008 Saskatchewan Open was his best finish in that competition. Deacon also has a 2017 Florida Open victory on his resume. That event is open to both professionals and amateurs.

It has been 65 years since a Canadianborn player has won the RBC Canadian Open. Mike Weir came close in 2004 but

fell to Vijay Singh in a playoff. In 2015, David Hearn was atop the leaderboard with just two holes remaining. However, he finished in third place with a score of 15 under behind Jason Day (-17) and Bubba Watson (-16).

Deacon has been grouped with Martin Piller and Zach Bauchou for the event.

They will tee off on the front nine at 8:50 a.m. today. @bmatamoros_ bmatamoros@alligator.org
