ANOTHER VIEW We need facts on Cuba ‘attack’

ast week The New York Times jolted Washington’s political class with an opinion article by an anony- L mous “senior” White House official who asserted that many of President Donald Trump’s top advisers are actually working to undermine his policies, which they consider irresponsible, immature and potentially harm- ful to national security. The piece raised several serious questions about Trump’s fitness for office, the functioning of his adminis- tration, whether loyalty to him or to the country is more important and whether bureaucrats should impose their judgment over that of the people’s elected officials. But after considering recent events in Cuba, perhaps that article takes on an ominous new tone. A year ago, after months of complaints by its staff, the State Department recalled from Havana all nonessential personnel, including family members. The department did so after a “sonic attack” of unknown origin made at least 25 American diplomats or their relatives sick. The Americans reported symptoms like cognitive impair- ment, vertigo, sleeplessness, persistent headaches, hear- ing loss and tinnitus. America also expelled 15 Cuban diplomats, despite Trump’s in-house watchdogs Cuba’s denial of knowledge or involvement in the alleged attack.

6B TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2018 SPORTS LAKE CITY REPORTER NOLES Continued From 1B SWIM MEET RAINED OUT want them to do. Columbia’s home tri-meet was cancelled due to inclement weather on Monday afternoon “We’ve got to evaluate every day how we’re coaching and what message we’re taking to our guys,” Taggart said. “As coaches and as teachers, you’ve got to find ways to get to your players, so they can do exactly what you ask them to do. As coaches, we’ve got to be smart and make sure we’re not over-coaching. It’s about making sure our guys are com- prehending what we need them to do and understanding why we’re doing certain things.” Of course, these were lessons that should’ve been instilled back in spring practice and all through summer workouts and on into preseason camp. This is not the time for on-the- job training. In a season-opening 24-3 loss to Virginia Tech , the Seminoles failed to score a touchdown at home for the first time in almost a decade. They turned it over five times. They had a blocked punt returned for a touchdown. They missed a field goal. Deondre Francois was sacked five times. There were all sorts of sloppy pen- alties, ranging from false starts to illegal formations. In the second half, the Seminoles’ offense was downright offensive. Outside of an 85-yard run by Cam Photos by SHELBY CONKLIN /Special to the Reporter Akers that produced the lone first Columbia swim team’s tri-meet against Oak Hall and St. Francis was cancelled after a couple rain delays on Monday. The Tigers pick down of the final two quarters, back up in this weekend’s meet in Gainesville. Carlie Barshay (middle) and others were off to a hot start before the meet was called. Florida State ran a grand total of 20 plays on its seven possessions for a loss of 5 yards. The result of those drives (using that term very loose- ly) — four punts, two interceptions and a fumble. The following week, Florida State needed a fourth-quarter rally to escape with a 36-26 victo- ry over Samford, a private school with fewer than 6,000 students that competes in the Southern Conference. The Seminoles’ defense was gashed for 525 yards, but managed to hold on thanks to five turnovers. No one thought for a minute that Taggart had righted the ship. That was certainly apparent this past Saturday. Hitting the road for the first time, Florida State was dominated again, 30-7, by a Syracuse team that hasn’t had a Columbia’s cross country team stopped by to cheer on the swim team. Mackenzie Conklin gasps for air during the relay breast stoke. winning season since 2013 . The Seminoles gained just 240 yards and barely avoided being shut out by a defense that was torched for 42 points by Western Michigan two weeks earlier. The Orange sacked Francois four times, deflected a couple of passes and spent most of the day poring through an offensive line that seemed to think it was illegal to touch an opposing player. Not that the Seminoles didn’t spend a lot of time doing illegal things, finish- ing with 11 penalties for 90 yards. Through three games, Florida State has been flagged a total of 27 times — the surest sign of an undisci- plined team in desperate need of some top-notch coaching. Florida State’s start has even sparked questions whether Taggart could be one-and-done, but that seems highly unlikely given it would take a reported $21.2 million to escape his con- tract. (Former adult film star and Seminoles fan Mia Khalifa is trying to help by launching a GoFundMe campaign to raise the money, complete with a mis- spelling of the embattled coach’s name; as of late Monday after- noon, she had brought in $66. ) In fairness to Taggart, former coach Jimbo Fisher knew what he was doing when he bolted for Texas A&M. This program has been a state of decline since its 2013 national championship, culminating with last season’s mark of 7-6 overall and 3-5 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
