OUR OPINION Vote ‘Yes’ 3 times his one is simple, so it won’t take long. If you are a resident of Lake City, you T should mark “Yes” on your March 17 Presidential Primary ballot on all three questions concerning city election procedures. Why? Because failure to do so means Lake City will have to start administering its own elections, as opposed to having the county supervisor do so instead, as has traditionally been the case. COACH RICHARD ANDERS That would cost city taxpayers a whole lot of money and create an equal amount of aggravation. Imagine going to cast a ballot for a county commis- isoner or tax collector next fall, only to have to drive to a different precinct to vote for a city councilor.

NFL Jaguars exercise team options on WR Conley, FS Wilson

Conley had a breakout year in 2019 and surpassed 2,000 receiving yards for his NFL career.

By MARK LONG Associated Press JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars exercised contract options on receiver Chris Conley and free safety Jarrod Wilson on Friday, potential- ly eliminating two areas of need heading into free agency and the draft. The Jaguars now have Conley under contract through 2020 and Wilson through 2021. Conley is due to make $2 million in base salary this fall, with $1 million of that now fully guaranteed. He will count $2.795 million against the salary car. Wilson will earn $2.45 million in base salary in 2020 and $2.2 million in 2021. He will count $3.08 million and $2.83 million, respectively, against the cap in those years. Conley had a career year in 2019, finishing with 47 receptions for 775 yards and averaging 16.5 yards a catch. He has 151 receptions for 2,013 yards and 11 touchdowns in five NFL seasons, the first four with Kansas City. Wilson started all 16 games last season and led the team with 73 tackles and 1,186 snaps. He was one of five NFL players to be on the field for 100% of their team’s defensive snaps. After initially joining Jacksonville as GARY LLOYD MCCULLOUGH/Florida Times-Union/TNS an undrafted rookie in 2016, Wilson has appeared in 63 Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley (18) after a catch is tackled by Buccaneers cornerback Ryan Smith (29) games with 18 starts. during the second half of the Jacksonville-Tampa game on Dec. 1, 2019 in Jacksonville, Fla. 28-11. 2B SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2020 SPORTS LAKE CITY REPORTER SCOREBOARD TV LISTINGS NBCSN — Premier League: Tottenham N.Y.

But several drivers have either spoken with him briefly or exchanged texts and said Newman’s wit remained intact. “I texted him and said, ‘I knew it wasn’t your neck that broke. I don’t think you could do that,’” said Joey Logano. “We have a neck joke going back and forth because I’ve got a long one and he’s got none. We had a good joke about that at least, so his sense of humor still seems to be there.” "I can make plans again, work again, enjoy life again, all because of medical marijuana. It saved my life."
