SOLEMN MEMORIALS Town comes together to mark 9/11 9/11 Continued From 1A

“He wasn’t sick,” Stith said. “He was really both- ered with (the terrorist attack). He was really dis- traught about it.” Stith was one of several first responders who spoke about the impact of the terrorist attacks at memo- rial programs for Sept. 11 victims. The solemn tenor for the memorial services was felt most at Columbia High School, where the school’s JROTC program held a memorial march featuring JROTC cadets ceremoni- ously carrying the flag to the flag pole, through the main hall that was lined with cadets, while lead- ing local first responders before hoisting the flag to half staff. Robert Moore, the cadet who led the processional, said it’s the third year CHS has hosted the memori- al march with local first responders.

OUR OPINION Tell us more, Mr. Witt he contents of County Commissioner Toby Witt’s memo to the Charter Review T Commission would have come as no surprise back in, say, 2012. (See story, 1A.) It is widely known that commissioners had long been micromanaging county staff to get roads paved in important neighborhoods during election years and worse. Most of these requests never went before the board; they just got done while the other commission- ers turned a blind eye, knowing it would soon be their turn at the trough. With the election of 2012, things started to change. The shift continued in 2014 with the election of Joel Foreman to the post of county attorney. Foreman laid down the law and told commissioners they were play- ing with fire and had to stop. It appeared they did — and looked for all the world Only if you’re ready like real reform was in the works. But now Mr. Witt — a true reformer in his own right — says we might not have made as much prog- ress as we thought, telling the CRC that such viola- tions continue to this day and wondering if some char- To forgive, or not ter amendment might stem the practice. Witt says the motivation here is not malice, but ignorance of how the charter, which prohibits such orgiveness.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREP FOOTBALL Taggart Barr’s hardship request denied hiring Leavitt as defensive analyst Duo join forces again after coaching together at Oregon in 2017.

By RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press

Florida State coach Willie Taggart is hiring former Oregon defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt as an analyst to help fix a flailing defense, a person involved with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the hiring was still being finalized. Leavitt worked Willie Taggart in 2017 during the one season Taggart was head coach at Oregon. The Athletic first reported Leavitt would be joining Florida Leavitt State’s staff in the off-the-field role of quality control analyst. Leavitt stayed behind when Taggart took the Florida State job after the 2017 regular Taggart season, hoping to land the head coaching job at Oregon. That went to Mario Cristobal. Leavitt remained defensive coordinator last year, but parted ways with Cristobal after the season and has been out of college coaching since. Florida State (1-1) allowed 1,040 yards in its first two games, relinquishing double-dig- it leads in both. The Seminoles rank 83rd in the country in FILE yards per play allowed (5.56) and Fort White quarterback Khalil Barr takes a snap during fall camp. 124th in yards per game (520.0).
