Israel, a Democrat, has appealed his suspension to the Florida Senate. Last month’s report by the state commission also found shortcomings in how Broward County schools dealt with con- fessed killer Nikolas Cruz, a former Marjory Stoneman Douglas High student. But DeSantis said he lacks the authority to remove the county’s appointed school super- intendent, Robert Runcie, and instead asked the Supreme Court to launch the statewide investigation. A statewide grand jury is “something real,” DeSantis, flanked by victims’ family mem- bers, said at a Feb. 13 press conference in Fort Lauderdale. “This is something that is very serious,” the gov- ernor said. “Whatever recommendations they have for us, we’re going to heed that.” DailyCommercial.com | Tuesday, February 26, 2019 A5

Relatives of the men whose names are on the cross have also asked the court to let it stand where it is. Mary Ann LaQuay, whose uncle Thomas Fenwick’s name is on the cross, says it’s a way for her to remember her uncle, who caught pneumonia and died while fighting in France. His grave is in Arling- ton National Cemetery in Virginia, but LaQuay, 80, says she feels “like the cross represents his memorial.” Those challenging the cross say they want to make clear that they aren’t against veterans or veterans memorials. Fred Edwords, a longtime official with the American Humanist Association, says they just don’t think it’s right to leave the impression that only Christian soldiers are being celebrated. Lowe, who lives near the cross in the District of Columbia, said some people have asked him: Why not just leave the cross alone? “I think it was a viola- tion of the Constitution when it was built,” he said. “The fact that it is old doesn’t make it right.

THE NEXT LEVEL Blue Jackets keep adding RECTOR’S COMING HOME at deadline

By John Wawrow The Associated Press

The Columbus Blue Jack- ets showed they are all in for this season by continuing to add talent at the NHL trade deadline. The Central Division-lead- ing Winnipeg Jets tried to give themselves a late-season boost by acquiring center Kevin Hayes from the New York Rangers on Monday, while the Colorado Avalanche picked up forward Derick Brassard from Florida. All three teams were busy, but more trades were expected to be announced later Monday. Among the players who were expected to move were Ottawa’s Mark Stone and Philadelphia’s Wayne Simmonds. The Blue Jackets grabbed the day’s early headlines by acquiring defenseman Adam McQuaid from the New York Rangers and goalie Keith Kinkaid from New Jersey.
