BELLE GLADE, Fla.
 —
WPBF.com

Funeral wreaths and flowers line the outside of the Alabama Georgia Grocery store two days after the arrest of a former Belle Glade football player in connection with the shooting death of the popular store owner.

People who know Corey Graham Jr. said they were shocked to hear the 19-year-old college student had confessed to the robbery and killing of Jimmy McMillan.

Graham played football at Glades Central High School before he graduated and was enrolled at Palm Beach State College last year.

“He was a cool guy, always joking around,” Glades Central High School student Marcus Robinson said.

Detectives said an anonymous tipster told them Graham had driven to the store intending to rob it.

Graham’s mother took him to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office for questioning, where he originally denied involvement, according to the probable cause document.

But detectives noticed Graham was trying to hide his arms and hands and that he had a tattoo saying “Errica” — his mother’s name — which resembled the markings on the gunman’s hands seen on surveillance video.

According to the document, Graham’s father asked his son if he was responsible, and Graham Jr. confessed. When asked why he did it, Graham Jr. said he shot McMillan because the store owner had reached for the gun.

Graham Jr. remains in jail without bond.

TUCSON – People were talking when the gunman began to fire. They were gathered outside a grocery store near Tucson, a year ago today, to talk to their congresswoman. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords had invited them because she wanted to listen, because democracy is a conversation in which everyone has a say. The bullets stopped the talking.

One year ago, a gunman opened fire on that gathering, striking 19 people including the congresswoman, leaving six dead. As soon as the moment passed, sounds, words and sentences have grasped for meaning. First the cries for help, later the quiet cries of mourning. There were calls for action, assertions of blame. There was anger, too.

In the year since the shootings, the victims and their families have tried to find words to give shape to the tragedy. Talking, they hope, can heal them.

***

More than anything, Ross Zimmerman misses talking to his son.

This hollow of the hiking trail is meant for quiet, but he is talking, always talking — talking about his son.

“They’re going to put his name here, on a bench,” Ross says, taking in Davidson Canyon below, pointing out a den of golden cottonwoods. He likes to imagine that when people come to this part of Arizona, they might consider the bench, maybe read his son’s name out loud.

Gabe Zimmerman, they might say. Maybe they’ll know his story — he was the young one who worked for Giffords, the one with a fiancee. He died that day.

Ross likes to take people out here on the trail, to show off this place that’s been named for his son, pointing out the pineapple cactus forest and the place where the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts meet and settle into one another.

His son was like that, too. A social worker. He softened edges, brought people together.

Gabe was a listener, the person Ross would call to “bounce something off of,” he says. Gabe was his hiking partner and best friend, and when Gabe saw his dad walk into a room, Ross remembers, he’d say, “Daddy-O!”

People still want to know how Ross can do it — talk about Gabe, all the time — on camera, to reporters, in his backyard to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, at meetings, at home.

He explains it the same way every time. The same words he spoke two days after the shooting.

“We want people to remember him,” he says.

***

Once a month, after work, the people touched by the shooting get together to talk.

They are discussing a permanent memorial of Jan. 8, and what it should be.

They drift into a conference room at a Tucson office building, greeting each other with hugs and eyes that linger.

How are you? they ask.

OK, they say.

Empty words, but that’s understood here.

Bill Badger, 75 — who helped hold down the gunman while blood from a bullet graze trickled down his scalp — stands just inside the room. His wife keeps close to his side.

Jim Tucker sits in the back row. He was the one talking to Giffords when she was shot. Tucker was shot, too — in his collarbone and leg.

Ross Zimmerman introduces himself the way he always does at meetings like this:

“I’m Gabe’s dad.”

Ron Barber leads the meeting, sitting at a table up front, resting a hand on his copper-colored cane: his own permanent memorial. The bullets tore through his thigh, his cheek.

He’s Giffords’ district director, in charge of her Tucson office.

Around the room they go, talking about ways to make a memorial for this shooting, this pain bigger than each of them.

Maybe a statue. Maybe a symphony.

They talk about ways to make sure everyone in Tucson gets a say, too.

“I still have people walking up to me in tears — absolute strangers — telling me what that day meant to them,” Barber tells the group at their meeting in November.

They need to think bigger, he coaches.

The victims nod.

***

The words started not long after the shooting stopped.

On the first night, they came in crayon-colored letters, and on cards from the flower shop, and on homemade signs made of construction paper.

“Love will heal,” one sign said.

“Just pray” someone wrote on a poster left outside Giffords’ Tucson office: Send words higher.

Impromptu shrines emerged all over the city, and by a few days after the shooting, words were everywhere. There were small notes on scraps of ribbon tucked into the fence outside Christina-Taylor Green’s elementary school, and sentiments in big letters on the marquee at Tucson’s Rialto Theatre: “We love you Gabby.”

Outside the Safeway, someone glued photos of the six victims to white poster board and wrote in black block letters, “Lord God let Tucson be a better place, that these lives were not lost in vain.”

“A place of hope,” said a sign on the lawn outside University Medical Center, where the pile of cards was deepest, where the candlelight vigil began the night of the shooting and lasted for almost a month.

The media arrived, too — the satellite trucks in rows next to the lawn, for George Stephanopoulos and Brian Williams and even Diane Sawyer, who came quietly to interview Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly. There was the Washington Post and the New York Times and dozens of TV crews from Japan — hundreds of reporters filling air time and pages and the Internet with the news of the day.

***

A week after the shooting, on a Saturday night, 22-year-old Kameron Norwood sat at a bar near the University of Arizona campus, telling his story to strangers.

Norwood’s neighbor was the judge who died.

His girlfriend interned for Giffords in Washington. His girlfriend’s father had been on his way to see Giffords at Safeway when the shooting began.

Norwood’s own father works at that Safeway. He’s a pharmacist, “though luckily he wasn’t working that day.”

Norwood’s ex-girlfriend works at the hospital.

“She was one of the nurses working when all the bodies came in.”

Tucson is a town as small as that. Everybody was talking about it — where they were, when they heard.

Norwood wanted to tell people that this was his story, too.

***

Some don’t want to talk.

Eric Fuller doesn’t return phone calls anymore. He’s the victim who drove himself to the hospital with bullet wounds in his knee and in his thigh.

Kenneth Veeder doesn’t want to be interviewed. His leg was grazed. It’s fine.

Maureen Roll is the widow of federal Judge John Roll. They have three children, five grandchildren. Roll liked to take the kids to Donut Wheel. The family kindly declines to discuss him.

Kelly O’Brien was engaged to Gabe Zimmerman. People say they see her sometimes, walking along the canal, quiet and alone.

Gabe’s parents call her their daughter, still.

She wears her engagement ring on a chain around her neck, still.

She says no to interviews, still.

Only once has O’Brien spoken publicly about what happened: for two minutes and 43 seconds at a lectern in Washington, D.C., a few months after the shooting, endorsing a ban on large-capacity gun magazines.

She spoke only when she thought her words could change things.

Gabe “made sure to tell me every day that he loved me,” she told the press corps.

She said that part with her eyes closed.

***

Tom Zoellner’s book “A Safeway in Arizona: What the Gabrielle Giffords Shooting Tells Us About the Grand Canyon State and Life in America” is one of five books published about the shooting, so far. Zoellner, 43, is from Tucson. He and Giffords are close friends. This is his fourth book. He wrote it in four months.

Zoellner hasn’t seen his friend Gabby since she was in the ICU at University Medical Center, but he thinks she would be proud of him, of the way he felt compelled to write, to try to explain his home state.

“This book is an attempt to make sense,” he writes. It took him 98,595 words.

***

Ross used to have lunch with his son.

It must have been a week after the shooting, and Ross was alone.

Without really thinking about it, he walked in the front door of the office clutching his brown paper sack, past the sign that says U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and people held their arms out to hug him.

They shared lunch.

They told stories about his son.

A few of them had been there, standing outside the Safeway, when the bullets began flying, when Gabe died.

In their faces, he saw that these people felt as hunched-over and undone as he did.

On their desks, he saw that they were displaying photos of his son.

After that, Ross went to the Giffords office for lunch every day.

He’s a year into his habit now: five days a week, sometime around noon, brown paper sack, a burrito or a submarine sandwich.

Sometimes, he comforts them. Sometimes, they ask him what Gabe was like as a kid.

Early on, they told him the only other thing he needed to know about his son and that day:

“Gabe was down the line a ways, and for him to have been where he was when he got shot, he had to have sprinted,” Ross explains — sprinted toward the shooting. Gabe ran toward the bullets.

“Back into the middle of things to try and help,” Ross says now. “And he died in the attempt.”

“He might have been diving to see to Ron or Gabrielle, but they tell me he had to have been moving very fast … to get between the shooter and some of the others … And Gabe was very fast … And everything else is …”

Ross stops talking.

He needs a minute before he can start again.

***

“I believe that we can be better,” President Barack Obama said, standing at the University of Arizona on Jan. 12, 2011. “That’s what I believe, in part because that’s what a child like Christina-Taylor Green believed. …

“I want to live up to her expectations. … I want America to be as good as she imagined it.”

After that, in America, there was a lot of talk about being better: on the TV networks, in newspaper editorials.

Are we better?

Mark Kimble is the person in Giffords’ office reporters call when they want answers to such questions. He’s her communications adviser, her former speech writer and her friend.

“I don’t know that we can answer that yet,” he says. “You know, those are the kinds of things I think we can ask after it’s been 10 years, and we can look back, and say, ‘Was this a turning point? Or was this just a minor disruption in the continuing drumbeat of being partisan and uncivil to each other?’ “

***

People have asked Gabrielle Giffords’ husband if Jared Loughner’s parents have tried to get in touch. No, Mark Kelly says, and as a parent, he understands. How they must be hurting. And how could they ever know what to say?

Loughner, then 22, was arrested at the scene. Investigators found his rambling Internet posts, journal entries in which he vowed to kill Giffords.

In the days right after the shooting, his parents offered their only comments: typed sentences that they asked a friend to deliver to the horde of media outside their front door:

“There are no words that can possibly express how we feel,” they said. “We wish that there were … we wish that we could change the heinous events of Saturday. We care very deeply about the victims and their families. We are so very sorry for their loss.”

***

Mark Kimble was there the day of the shooting.

When people ask him what happened, he says, “I have a little script that I kind of replay … without even thinking about it — you know, that I recite. But if someone really probes me and starts asking me questions that make me think about that day, I get a real chill. I mean I can’t describe it, but I get very, very cold … and I still do.”

His script:

“I got there at ten minutes to 10:00 and I went in to Starbucks and I got some coffee. I came out, and Gabe was … setting up tables … I helped him move a couple … He asked me what I thought about a couple of places he was thinking of getting married.”

Gabby arrives. Ron Barber arrives. The event begins. People are asking questions, “and just then, out of the corner of my eye, I see some guy run in the area that we had set up to be the exit from where people were talking, and I was just irritated that he wasn’t following the way Gabe had it set up.

“I looked at him. He started shooting, and initially I thought it was a movie or some kind of performance piece or something. And then I saw Gabby get shot, right in the head, and then I knew it was not.

“And he fired. He hit Ron. He hit Judge Roll. He hit Gabe, and then he ran down the line just waving his gun and shooting everywhere and that’s the last … that’s pretty much what happened. And that’s what I tell people.”

***

She was in the middle of a sentence when the bullet pierced the left side of her forehead, fractured both of her eye sockets and continued on a trajectory through her skull.

It went through the full length of the left hemisphere of her brain, traveling at a thousand feet per second, severing nerve connections that damaged her ability to move the right side of her body, and exited behind her left ear.

She crumpled to the concrete in front of the grocery store.

As everyone else started talking again, Gabrielle Giffords was silent. The bullet took her ability to talk.

It buried her capacity to find words, to string them together into sentences, to make meaning. Her brain injury was like opening a filing cabinet, one neurologist explained, and dumping all of the files on the floor.

A year later — a year of tough therapy for Giffords — and the public has only heard her speak in recordings — once on TV and others released by her staff. The cadences are interrupted and slow, but the words determined.

“I’m trying,” she enunciates. “Trying so hard to get better.”

She hasn’t given a speech in public. She hasn’t said whether she’ll go back to work or run for Congress again. She won’t give interviews.

She’s not ready, her staff says.

Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly, was having breakfast at home with his wife in December, and told her, ” ‘Hey, Gabby, I can really see a difference between last week and this week’ — just in the ability for her to put a sentence together and put (another) one next to it, and very quickly find the words she needs to communicate, and those things are still improving every day.

“It’s been a really tough year,” he says. “But it is working.”

Last summer, just a few months after the shooting, Giffords called Ross Zimmerman on the phone.

Her husband had finally told her that Gabe was among the dead. Giffords considered Gabe a brother.

“Kelly,” Giffords repeated on the phone, over and over, while Ross listened.

“Kelly. Kelly. Kelly.”

Kelly O’Brien. The girl Gabe loved. Who still won’t talk.

In that one word, Ross Zimmerman heard all there was to say.

REDLANDS – Pam Null has spent the last 20-plus years making a name for herself in the floral design industry.

From wedding bouquets to decorative pieces, Null has done it all.

But while a student at McHenry County College, a community college in Crystal Lake, Ill., Null had a different plan. She set out to earn a degree in music.

On the lookout for an easy elective one summer, Null enrolled into a course on floral design.

The rest was history.

“I fell into (it) that way. It wasn’t something I planned to do,” Null said. “I just had the talent for floral design and it turned out well.”

So well in fact that she began working for well-known flower shops in Houston, Redlands and in Loma Linda

since the 1980s.

Once settling in Redlands in 1987, Null was awarded a scholarship from Telaflora and took a course at the Phil Rulloda’s Southern California School of Floral Design.

“I traveled to go to school, but it was only a three-day program,” she said. “But it was intensive.”

In 1999, Null was inducted into the American Institute of Floral Design.

Most recently, Null’s work could have been seen on the YMCA Holiday Home Tour, as she was the primary floral decorator for a home on the tour.

To design the home, she planned to emphasize on one of the home’s chandeliers.

To do so, she designed a piece using branches from a wholesaler and hung them around the decorative chandelier, along with chicken wire to hold pieces together and artificial greenery with long pine needles to make it pop next to artificial magnolia leafs.

It took her several hours to complete, she said.

Before the event, that’s when she spent a good chunk of her time inserting fresh flowers into the home in preparation for visitors.

Null said it took her probably four days total to complete.

“I decorated her Christmas tree, stair cases and did a fresh flower arrangement in

her master bathroom, which was designed with Casa Blanca Lilies,” she said.

Other flowers she used in the design included long Tube Roses and Princess Pine.

Currently, Null is a freelance floral designer and is also on the Southwest AIFD executive board of the American Institute of Floral Design and was a past member of the Teleflora Board of Southern California and Nevada units.

She was inducted into the AIFD in 1999.

Her work has been featured during the 2005 Presidential Inauguration of George W. Bush, the Tournament of Roses Parade, ABC’s “Extreme Makeover – Home Edition,” the LA County Fair, yearly at the San Bernardino Assistance League Headdress Ball, Santa Claus Inc’s “Christmas Tree Lane,” the Feast of Lights at the University of Redlands, the Associates of Redlands Bowl and the Redlands Community Music Association.

“In the last five years, my personal business has been in-home decorating for the holidays, but I do arrangements year-round for weddings and special funerals (for example),” Null said. “But I love to specialize in the permanent mechanics of the home while working with interior designers.”

Null said she also looks forward to speaking with businesses or people who are interested in her work.

You can set up appointments with Null via e-mail at PamNullAIFD [at] cs [dot] com or by calling 909-705-9805.

WINTER HAVEN – 

Days after a fire ripped through the Winter Haven business, a popular flower shop is struggling to pick up the pieces. 

O’Connor’s Flower Haven has been a mainstay in the city for almost 30 years.

The Wednesday afternoon fire destroyed the Havendale Boulevard flower shop’s greenhouse, along with an auto shop next door.

The greenhouse used to be filled with beautiful plants and flowers. Now, dry brittle plants and drooping petals remain. 

It is hard for flower shop owner Bernice O’Connor to walk through the rubble now. “It makes me want to cry every time I look at it,” O’Connor said Saturday.

“You’re talking about 3 to 5 years to grow them back,” she said of some of the most rare plants she was growing.

In 29 years in business, O’Connor and her husband have been through hurricanes and hail storms, but this is a hurdle they might not be able to overcome — that is, if it weren’t for their customers.

“A lot of these customers are telling me if I’ve lost a rare plant that they’ve purchased from me, they’ll give me a start to come back,” O’Connor said. “I think our customers are going to give us the will to do it again.”

O’Conner said they’ve managed to salvage a few types of flowers and they still have a rose garden across the street that wasn’t damaged.

“Just watching them grow — there’s just, there’s miracles in the plants.”

O’Connor is hoping for a miracle herself: to recover from the fire. 

The O’Conners plan to rebuild a little farther back from the street. They hope to have their business somewhat back to normal within in a year.

The Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.

• A private lounge area adjacent to the styling rooms will feature an oversized touch screen monitor that provides access to product information at anntaylor.com.
