FRIENDS SAY IT WASN'T UNUSUAL FOR JACOB TO BE WALKING ALONG THE TRACKS WEARING HIS HEADPHONES... BUT NOBODY EXPECTED THIS TO HAPPEN... (NATS) 19:35:14:27 mayor edwards; well today Hurricane suffered a great tragedy, we lost a 16 year old hurricane high school student. BY ALL ACCOUNTS, JACOB BALL WAS SIMPLY DOING WHAT HE ALWAYS DID, WALKING ALONG THE TRAIN TRACKS 19:33:35 dalton ; he walked them everyday if not he had a bike....

ADDING TO THE TRAGIC STORY, THE FACT THAT MANY OF HIS CLASSMATES SAW IT HAPPEN... 19:36: 08 mayor edwards; there was students who did see the incident occur because it happened right here in front of the high school so thats one of concerns. AND AS INVESTIGATORS BEGIN THE DAUNTING TASK OF PIECING TOGETHER WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED, A FAMILY LEFT IN SHAMBLES BEGINS THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK OF RECONCILING EXCATLY WHAT HAPPENED, AND A COMMUNITY BEGINS WHAT WILL LIKELY BE A LONG GRIEVING PROCESS 19:36:33:01 mayor edwards; you know when you lose a child a 16 year old young man... in really affects everybody... ================= 19:37:32:10 mayor edwards; every so often you see somebody walking the tracks and it's just a tragedy that this had to happen. 19:38:15:17 mayor edwards: eyewitnesses said they saw him walking and saw the train strike him 19:39:06:08 it is very hard for the students losing one this year now another, it's not good for a community, not good for anybody.

THE BILL WOULD PROHIBIT USING A HANDHELD CELLPHONE WHILE DRIVING BUT THAT VIOLATION WOULD BE A SECONDARY OFFENSE, MEANING POLICE WOULD HAVE TO STOP YOU FOR ANOTHER REASON FIRST--- LIKE SPEEDING.

Return to Story IndexFL AD WAR WRAP
FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT STEVE HARRIGAN LOOKS BACK -- AT A VERY NEGATIVE FLORIDA RACE. WITH EACH DAY IN FLORIDA, THE ATTACKS HAVE GROWN SHARPER. NEWT GINGRICH HAS CALLED MITT ROMNEY BREATHLESSLY DISHONEST, MANIACALLY DISHONEST AND METHODICALLY DISHONEST. IN TURN, ROMNEY HAS CALLED GINGRICH A WHINING, FLAILING INFLUENCE PEDDLER, WHO BELONGS ON THE MOON. ROMNEY says: "I spent 25 years in business. If I had a business executive come to me and say they wanted to spend a few hundred billion dollars to put a colony on the moon, I'd say, you're fired." AND IT COULD GO ON FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN FLORIDA. GINGRICH says: "You mean the people who said I was dead in June and the people who said I was dead after Iowa? Those people? Yeah, they're about as accurate as they have been the last two times they were wrong." THE TEN DAY FIGHT IN FLORIDA HAS HAD A NUMBER OF KEY TURNING POINTS - ALL FOR MITT ROMNEY WHO LOST THE JANUARY 21ST SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY TO GINGRICH BY DOUBLE-DIGITS. FIRST ROMNEY'S DEBATE PERFORMANCES, GOING ON THE ATTACK. ROMNEY says: " and mr. speaker i know that sounds like an enormous revelation but have you checked your own investments? you also have investments through mutual funds that also invest in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac." SECOND, 17 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF ROMNEY ADVERTISEMENTS, WHICH GINGRICH CALLS "CARPET BOMBING." FINALLY, WHAT MANY STRATEGISTS ARE CALLING ROMNEY'S SUPERIOR CAMPAIGN ORGANIZATION - WHICH TARGETED THE 600,000 PLUS EARLY AND ABSENTEE VOTERS WITH MAIL AND PHONE CALLS. WHAT IS DIFFICULT TO MEASURE IS HOW BADLY DAMAGED THE EVENTUAL WINNER WILL BE BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION. PALEOLOGOS says: "I think it's animal instinct - I think they smell blood - both of them see the holy grail - they view Barack Obama as vulnerable - and they are pulling out all stops to get a competitive advantage - and if it means bloodying up your opponent - that's what they're doing." PRIMARY VOTERS IN FLORIDA SET RECORDS THIS YEAR OVER 2008, FOR BOTH EARLY AND ABSENTEE VOTES. THEY SAY THAT INDICATES AN ENERGIZED GOP ELECTORATE READY TO PUT FLORIDA BACK IN THE RED COLUMN THIS NOVEMBER.
