Family of girl who nearly lost leg at summer camp sues Coconut Grove Sailing Club

The parents of a girl who nearly lost leg while participating in a summer sailing club is suing the club — and counselors — over an incident that occurred days before a barge hit a sailboat full of summer campers off Miami Beach. Bolivar Viteri and Michelle Viteri, the parents of 11-year-old Catherine Viteri, are seeking $10 million in damages, according to a lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court on Monday. The suit alleges that the Coconut Grove Sailing Club and three camp counselors were negligent and failed to supervise the children, causing Catherine a lifelong disability. During a...

GATORS PODCAST: Billy Napier fired as Florida pushes to reestablish program’s prominence (Ep. 304)

Billy Napier was let go as the Gators turned the page on a failed four-year tenure ending with a 22-23 record and on track for a third losing season. UF is banking on longtime receivers coach Billy Gonzales to inspire a talented roster and ignite a lackluster offense during the remaining five regular-season games. All eyes, though, are on who will replace Napier at season’s end, with Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin atop everyone’s wish list. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar weigh in on a decision everyone could see coming, how the Gators got here and what direction AD Scott...

Florida players ‘upset’ by Billy Napier’s ouster but understand inevitable decision

GAINESVILLE — Sophomore linebacker Myles Graham was honed in on homecoming, leaving him unprepared when UF fired Billy Napier a day after the Gators slipped by Mississippi State Saturday in the Swamp. “I honestly wasn’t thinking about that,” he said Monday. “I was just focused on the game plan. I was focused on getting a win, and we got that done.” A narrow 23-21 victory against a program with 15 straight SEC losses wasn’t enough to save Napier and avoid the inevitable. Picked to finish sixth in the SEC and a potential dark horse for a CFP bid, the Gators (3-4, 2-2 SEC) now aim to avoid the...

Trump suggests US will buy Argentinian beef to bring down prices for American consumers

By CHRISTOPHER MEGERIAN ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump said Sunday that the United States could purchase Argentinian beef in an attempt to bring down prices for American consumers. “We would buy some beef from Argentina,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One during a flight from Florida to Washington. “If we do that, that will bring our beef prices down.” Trump promised earlier this week to address the issue as part of his efforts to keep inflation in check. U.S. beef prices have been stubbornly high for a variety of reasons, including drought and reduced imports from...

Shrapnel fell onto a California Highway Patrol vehicle during U.S. military live-fire exercise, agency says

The U.S. military demonstration that shot live-fire artillery rounds over Interstate 5 on Saturday dropped metal shrapnel on a California Highway Patrol vehicle, resulting in damage, agency officials said Sunday. The CHP said that the shrapnel was from an explosive ordnance that was fired over Interstate 5 and “detonated overhead prematurely, striking and damaging a CHP patrol vehicle.” The shrapnel fell on the vehicle in an area where CHP officers were gathered to close traffic along Interstate 5 in northern San Diego County, which cuts through Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.

Billy Napier’s Gators slip by Mississippi State in possibly his final game at Swamp

GAINESVILLE — Florida coach Billy Napier sprinted toward the south end-zone tunnel at the Swamp, showered by boos rather than basking in the afterglow of a hard-earned victory. Moments earlier, the Gators sang the school’s alma mater in the stadium’s northeast corner to celebrate a dramatic 23-21  homecoming win against Mississippi State. With the Bulldogs in field-goal range, nose tackle Michai Boireau intercepted Blake Shapen’s pass to the flat at the Florida 29-yard line with 21 seconds remaining. The play sent their embattled coach out on a winning note, if this proves to be his final...

A winless preseason it is for Heat, ending with 141-125 loss to Grizzlies

MIAMI — Perhaps it was played for real simply because there now are four days off before Wednesday night’s season opener in Orlando. Or perhaps it was because the Miami Heat entered 0-5 this preseason. So there in the starting lineup Friday night were five players who well could be in the starting lineup for Erik Spoelstra when it begins for real against the Magic. It might not have been a dress rehearsal, but it was far from a typical throwaway game at the end of the preseason. Didn’t matter. For only the second time in the franchise’s 38 seasons, the Heat wound up winless in a...
