By Brian Sewell
Social Security Manager in Jacksonville, FL
Social Security can be an important
financial asset for married couples when
the time comes to apply for retirement
benefits. In many cases, one spouse may
have earned significantly more than the
other, or have worked for a longer span of
years. Or it could be that one spouse
stayed home to do the work of raising the
children or caring for elderly family
members while the other focused on a
career.
Regardless of your situation, Social
Security will look at all possibilities to
make sure both spouses receive the maximum benefit possible.
Even if you have not paid Social
Security taxes, it’s likely you’ll be eligible to receive benefits on your spouse’s
record. If you did work and pay into
Social Security, we will check eligibility
based on your work record and your
spouse’s to see which amount is higher.
You can apply for spouses benefits the
same way that you apply for benefits on
your own record. You can apply for
reduced benefits as early as age 62, or for
100 percent of your full retirement benefits at your “full retirement age. ” You
can find your full retirement age, based
on your birth year, at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/ageincrease.htm.
The benefit amount you can receive as a
spouse, if you have reached your full
retirement age, can be as much as one half
of your spouse’s full benefit. If you opt
for early retirement, your benefit may be
as little as a third of your spouse’s full
benefit amount.
If your spouse has already reached full
retirement age but continues to work,
your spouse can apply for retirement benefits and request to have the payments
suspended until as late as age 70. This
would allow the worker to earn delayed
retirement credits that will mean higher
payments later, but would allow you to
receive your spouse’s benefit.
You can also apply for spouse benefits
based on the earnings record of an exspouse or deceased spouse if you were
married for at least 10 years. Spouses can
consider a number of options and variables. We make it easier to navigate them.
A good place to start is by visiting our
benefits
planner
at
www.socialsecurity.gov/planners. Take
note of the “Benefits As A Spouse” section.

Little Meechie was excited because
he and his grandfather had birthdays
coming up. His grndfather’s birthday
came the day before his birthday so his
grandmother would always bake a
cake for his grandpa and grandpa
would always allow Little Meechie to
blow out the candles.
Little Meechie was, at this time, ten
years old. He blew out his grandpa’s
candle and proudly announced,
“Tomorrow I will be a man, so go buy some champagne.” His grandparents were surprise when they heard his statement, and advised
him that he would be eleven years old, not 21. Little Meechie said
then you have not been counting. Every year, I blow out birthday
candles on two cakes, and I count the years. I just blew out
Grandpa’s birthday cake and that makes me 20. Tomorrow, when I
blow out my candles, I will be 21 and grown.

Homicide Suspect Killed During
Shootout with Police
A homicide suspect was shot and
killed
during
a
shootout with police at
a hotel.
Law
enforcement officers from
three agencies were
met with shotgun fire
Henry Kiner III
while searching for a
murder suspect. The
shooting
occurred
shortly after midnight
at a hotel. The Fugitive/SWAT team, police officers, and US
Marshals were trying
to apprehend 27-yearold Henry Kiner III,
Junior Fletcher
who was wanted for a
homicide. Police described the whole incident as an “ambush.”
Shortly after midnight, law enforcement approached a man inside a black
pickup truck as he started to pull out of a
hotel parking lot. As they approached the
driver, who was later identified as 28-yearold Junior Fletcher, one of Kiner’s associates, they found themselves being shot at
from above. Kiner came out from room
#212 and was shooting at deputies and officers from the second floor of the hotel.
iPhone Used to Track Down Suspects who
Stole iPad
At 11:35 a.m., police
were dispatched to a home in
reference to a burglary to a residence. The victim stated he returned to his home around 11:30
a.m. from being gone for about
6 hours and discovered his resiFloyd
dence had been burglarized. He
pointed out a set of tire tracks in
the grass which led from his
front driveway to the back yard
and back. All four burners on his
stove were set on "HIGH" and
smoke was seen burning on sevDeering
eral napkins. The victim believed he got home just in time or his residence
would have been on fire. The napkins were located in the upper cabinet which was left open
when he came in.
The residence was ransacked. Every
Kiner’s gunfire was returned, and he died at
the scene. No law enforcement officers were
hit.
An officer was transported to the
hospital after injuring his arm. He was not
shot and was treated and released. Daniel
Forrest, who was staying in room #214 and
was not involved in the incident, was shot
by Kiner or law enforcement officers. He
suffered a non life-threatening injury. No
other injuries were reported.
Police obtained a warrant for Kiner’s
arrest for a homicide that occurred on August 11, 2013. Investigators said after that
murder, Kiner’s mom stated that she remembered a conversation about two weeks ago
where he told her, “I’m never going back to
prison.” According to detectives, just last
night, Kiner told Fletcher, “This is the last
time you’re going to see me.”
Kiner was released from prison August 2011 after serving a sentence for a
2006 armed robbery. Fletcher was arrested
on unrelated charges for possession of narcotics. He was also released August 2011
from prison, where he had been incarcerated
since the age of 16 for robbery.
Homicide detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the
shooting and six officers have been placed
on administrative assignment, which is a
part of standard procedure for the use of excessive force.
The investigation is still ongoing.
room had been entered by the unknown suspects. Computers, televisions, surround sound
system, camera, clothing, towels and other
items were found stolen. The victim was missing an iPad and had an application synced to his
iPhone which showed the exact location of the
iPad.
The victim rode with officers to the
exact address while tracking the iPad. Police
observed suspect, 28-year-old Danyrell Floyd,
sitting on the steps in front of an apartment with
what appeared to be a tablet device in her lap.
It was determined it was the victim’s iPad.
25-year-old Christopher Deering was
standing in front of a nearby apartment wearing
the victim’s monogrammed T-shirt with the victim’s name "Larry" embroidered on the front
and also wearing his Pajama bottoms, that were
stolen. The T-shirt was custom made for the victim’s personal use.
Both suspects were arrested for arson,
burglary, and dealing in stolen property and
booked into jail.

Safety
Safety Tips for Homes and Social Activities
Here are some tips for those living in an apartment or a dorm. Also students
or those that get involved into social activities, such as setting up parties,
should keep some things in mind.
Be Safe in your dorm or apartment:
• Lock your door.
• Use only initials and last name on your mailbox.
• Know your neighbors and who you can call on for help.
• Do not open your door without checking to see who is there and whether
or not you know the person. Be wary of unexpected visitors.
• Only let people you know into your room or home.
• Keep your cell phone charged and near you.
• Never prop open a building door or leave your room or apartment unlocked.
• Keep first-story windows closed and locked.
• If you feel that your safety is in jeopardy, call 911.
If you plan to set up parties
• Limit the number of guests (Parties that are open to everyone invite trouble.)
• Talk with neighbors and ask them to contact you about any problems.
• Keep noise to a reasonable level. Check outside your unit to see if noise
could bother neighbors.
• Be available to answer the phone and respond to neighbors’ concerns.
• Control parking. Guests should not park in the yard or block driveways.
• Make sure only those of legal age are drinking alcohol.
• have alternatives to alcohol available.
• Don’t promote thirst - serve some non-salty foods.
• Don’t allow excessive drinking.
• Designate a responsible person as bartender.
• Don’t let anyone leave alone.
• Stop friends from driving under the influence of alcohol.
• Do not allow anyone to use the outdoors as a restroom.
Be responsible or you may get into some trouble!
• If police respond to your party and they observe or hear a noisy party, your
landlord and/or property owner may be fined. Fines will be increased for
each additional party responded to. These fines are often passed down to the
residents.
• You and/or your guests may be cited for: underage consumption; misrepresentation of age to purchase alcohol; selling or giving alcohol to persons

Wayne Hogan Brings Distracted Driving
Message to the Community
“One text or call can wreck it all,” was the message Wayne Hogan conveyed to the Neighborhood Team Community Action organization on Monday night. Evelyn Coney, founder, invited him to give his Distracted Driving
Presentation for the Workforce at its Gateway Mall meeting.
Hogan discussed the dangers, consequences and science behind distracted driving. Despite our high-tech, multitasking society, it’s hard to do two things at once, and do them well. For example, when driving and talking on
the phone, our brains actually switch between the two tasks. He pointed out that almost every driver these days
has had the experience of missing an interstate exit while talking on a cell phone.
Hogan admitted to the audience that he talked on the phone while driving in the past, but when he really dug
into the facts, he stopped doing it and considers himself lucky that he didn’t get into an accident. “The only job
we have when we are at the wheel of a car is to drive,” Hogan said. “It’s not to sell real estate, catch up with
your relative or call in an order.” One way to guard against the temptation to pick up the phone is to change
your voicemail message to say, “I’m driving now, so I can’t take your call. Please leave a message.” This not
only reminds the driver, but also brings awareness to callers about the issue.
He also delved into the legal consequences, civil liability and brand damage to a company
when distracted driving accidents happen. “There is not only the guilt of taking a life,
but also the impact it could have on a company’s reputation if an employee kills someone
while driving distracted.”
Terrell Hogan offers this complimentary presentation to local businesses, non-profit and
church groups as a public service. The firm’s Distracted Driving Presentation for the
Workforce was inspired by the Casey Feldman Foundation and EndDD.org. in honor of
the 21 year-old who was killed after a distracted driver struck her as she crossed the
street. Casey’s parents created the End Distracted Driving educational presentation for
teen drivers and shared it with attorneys nationwide to take into their local schools. They
have reached almost 100,000 students since the program began. Terrell Hogan continues
to make this presentation to area high schools.
To schedule a distracted driving presentation, call the Terrell Hogan Law Firm at (904) 722-2228 or visit www.terrellhogan.com and click on the speaker’s bureau.

Brande once honed his notorious offspeed repertoire for the Hurricanes
By CAMRON GHORNI
FLORIDA SORTS WIRE
There was Red Berry, the
legendary pitching coach
and even better story-teller,
working his charm to the
delight of the crowd. There
were battery mates Steve
Lerner and Pat Callahan
sharing a tale about “The
Wizard” over in the corner.
And, of course, there was
public address announcer
Jay Rokeach – whose voice
sounded as amplified as it
did over the park’s meager
sound system way back
then.On a balmy late-summer afternoon in the team
meeting room at Mark Light
Field, the same sanctuary
where Luis Brande once
honed his notorious offspeed repertoire, all of the
usual suspects were present
and accounted for.
But the biggest smile of
them all – no small task in a
room full of Hurricane baseball pioneers, make no mistake about it - belonged to
Luis.
One
of
the
former
righthander’s many stories
focused on a team trip to
Nicaragua after a devastating earthquake.
“The baseball stadium in
Esteli had chicken wire all
over the place, and had
wooden horse stables as our
dugout. It was a cowboy
town with six shooters, holsters, and horses!”
Lerner, listening to the story
from afar, burst out laughing
in confirmation.
“You should have seen it! It
was unbelievable!”
And so went the afternoon,
another magical one to add
to The Light’s lengthy history of similarly emotional
days. With so many smiles
circulating amongst the
group, one of the reunion’s
driving motives – Luis’ continued battle with ALS, more
commonly known as Lou
Gehrig’s Disease – was
overshadowed
by
the
encompassing familiarity
and warmth of the ballpark.
Luis, a two-year reliever for
the Hurricanes from 197476, is no longer able to verbally communicate due to
the effects of the disease.
With some assistance from
Jay-Ro, however, Luis
shared more stories – about
the addictive iced tea in the
dugout, recalling a trip to the
Bahamas where the opposing catcher threw “laser
beams” behind his back
(which Luis imitated), and
who could forget the four
innings of no-hit baseball he
threw in relief at a tournament hosted by Mississippi
State?
The crowd, which included
teammates and coaches from
Luis’ two years at DadeSouth, was beaming.
Dr. Oscar Loret De Mola,
formerly a Hurricane catcher
and now a local pediatric
gastroenterologist,
was
taken aback by the portrait
of his former teammate –
delivering a vicious hook to
some pitiable opponent plastered to the wall. All
attendees signed the poster,
each adding a personalized
touch.
“He is such a great friend,”
the doctor said, smiling.
“And, man, what a curveball.”

Late Eagles’ TD spoils Jaguars chance
at first preseason win; Henne shines
By Mike Bonts
FLORIDA SPORTS WIRE
The Eagles' Chris Polk ran for a four
yard score and the two point conversion with 2:12 to play as Philadelphia
handed Jacksonville their third loss of
the NFL preseason 31-24 before at
59,149 at EverBank Field.
"I thought we flew around, special
teams got a take away in the first half.
The defense held up, but we have to
start with better field position," said
Jaguars first year coach Gus Bradley.
Jacksonville forced three fumbles and
ran for over 100 yards for the first time
this preseason.
With starting QB Blaine Gabbert out
with a thumb injury, Chad Henne
completed 11 of his 18 passes for 106
yards and two touchdowns. On the
opening Saturday night, Henne found
wide receiver Justin Blackmon in the
end zone for a 17-yard touchdown to
complete a 12-play 90-yard drive.
Philadelphia QB Michael Vick was 15
of 23 for 184 yards. He threw a TD
pass to former Florida Gators receiver
Riley Cooper. Vick also rushed for 53
yards.
Jaguars’ running back Jordan Todman
broke off a 63-yard touchdown run in
the second quarter and led all running
backs with 105 yards on eight
attempts. Jacksonville scored on its
opening drive of the game for
the second consecutive week,
but could not hang on to a 17-16
halftime lead.
QB Matt Scott relieved Henne
in the third quarter, passing for
52 yards on six completions.
Tight end Allen Reisner caught
an eight-yard touchdown pass
from Henne. Reisner has caught
a touchdown pass in consecutive games. Thirteen different
Jaguars caught a pass as
Blackmon led the team for the
second straight game with four
receptions for 50 yards.
Wide receiver Cecil Shorts III caught
one pass for 20 yards in his preseason
debut after being sidelined for the first
two games with an injury. Versatile
rookie Denard Robinson continues to
help the offense drive the ball, running
for 33 yards on seven carries.
The Jaguars defense forced three fumbles and two turnovers, including cornerback Dwayne Gratz’s interception
of Vick in the second quarter, his second interception of the preseason.
Defensive tackle Roy Miller and
defensive end Andre Branch put pressure on the quarterback, registering
their first sacks of the preseason.
Linebacker Paul Posluszny led the
team with eight solo tackles. Rookie
safety Johnathan Cyprien playing in
his second preseason game recorded
four solo tackles and one special
