Page 8A ON THE RADIO Former FKAA board member Rose Dell talks about the recent shake-up at the Aqueduct Authority. Dell The Monroe County Planning Commission on Thursday rejected a plan that would have added a hotel to a marina on Stock Island’s Safe Harbor. The owners of Stock Island Village Marina proposed placing a 50- to 100-unit hotel on the Shrimp Road site that historically has been home to marinas, commercial fishing boats, marine engine repair and woodworking shops. The owners were asking the county to change zoning for the site and to amend land-use rules to accommodate the hotel project. The request included changing the land-use cat- changes on a case-by-case basis. Since 2007, the county has been working on changes to its comprehensive plan that would help preserve traditional uses of working waterfronts and increase public access to county waterfronts. Navy officials also oppose the hotel KEY WEST memorial CITIZEN STAFF Florida Keys motorists and visitors should expect traffic delays on the Overseas Highway this weekend due to events in the Upper Keys and the Southernmost City, according to state and county law enforcement agencies. “Everyone needs to plan ahead and give themselves a little extra time. We’re going to be out there and working on keeping traffic moving, but it’s going to be slow in parts of the Keys during those times,” said Monroe County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Deputy Becky Herrin, referring to Friday and Saturday events. The first event is Islamorada’s Seventh Annual Holiday Festival, from 4 to 10 p.m. Friday at Founders Park, Mile Marker 87. The event, sponsored by the Islamorada Chamber of Commerce, includes a tree BY GWEN FILOSA Citizen Staff In a candlelight ceremony at the ocean’s edge Thursday evening, Key West honored the lives lost to acquired immune deficiency syndrome since the epidemic began almost 30 years ago. “So that we truly never forget, help us to always remember,” prayed the Rev. Steve Torrence, as a number of white doves were released into the cool dusk air. The small city once devastated by its own AIDS death toll marked World AIDS Day in a simple, emotional display of grief cast beneath a sunset at the White Street Pier, where since 1997 the names of the dead who had ties to the island have been engraved in granite along the pathway. The memorial grew by 15 names this year, including that of its most ardent founder, political strategist Brooks White, who took his own life in September after battling a lengthy illness. “It’s a good feeling to know I can come here,” said Marti Hutchison, White’s sister, who BY JOHN DESANTIS Citizen Staff LOCAL NEWS 98.7 FM Conch Country: 7, 8 and 9 a.m. and 3, 4, 5 and 6 p.m. Key West officials are moving forward with plans for how to handle the sale of former Navy housing to private developers, laying the groundwork for decisions on how the Peary Court property should be zoned. City commissioners have attended the ceremony with their father, who had never before seen the memorial. “This was so dear to his heart. I’m so proud of him.” Even in an age of advanced medical treatment in which an HIV infection is no longer a definitive death sentence, the fact remained Thursday that there is no cure or vaccine. “I cannot believe the num- ber of names on this,” said Hutchison, of Delaware, as she and her father lingered after the ceremony. “Way too many.” CLASSIFIED ADS – 1C COMICS – 6 A Protest targets KW symphony BY MANDY MILES See AIDS DAY, Page 8A approved a new designation for the 157 housing units, which until recently were assigned “military” zoning.

Also, you can put some in the doggie bag dispensers around town or the Bark Park or Dog Beach.” “If a bird were to eat a seed, fly to a different island and ‘eliminate’ it, inadvertently introducing a new plant to that area, we would consider it a part of the natural evolution of our planet.

Don’t buy, adopt.” “Perhaps the military retirees and Department of Defense civilians who vacation in the Sigsbee RV Park to escape the cold Northern winters should be kicked off base and forced to vacation in town.

Do I sue the Key West mayor as an individual or the City Commission as a group?” “The hiring practices at FKAA need to be investigated. Non-bubbas are rarely hired. Everyone is related. Jobs are given to people before they are even advertised.

CRIME REPORT Man ransacks wrong home and falls asleep CITIZEN STAFF STOCK ISLAND — A man mistook a stranger’s apartment for that of his ex-girlfriend early Wednesday and ransacked the place before falling asleep on the floor, according to a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office press release. Amado Cardenas, 45, of Stock Island, was charged with burglary, grand theft, both felonies, and misdemeanor petty theft. The woman said she came home about 7 a.m. to find Cardenas asleep on her living room floor, the release states. She called deputies after she could not awaken him. Cardenas reportedly had helped himself to alcoholic beverages, gone through her drawers and taken cash and medications from her. He also tried to take her flat-screen television off the wall, the release says. Cardenas allegedly told deputies he thought he was in the home of his ex-girlfriend, who apparently lives next door. He was booked into Monroe County Detention Center on Stock Island, where he remained Thursday in lieu of $10,500 bail. Information in the Crime Report is obtained from reports provided by area law enforcement agencies.

Derek Shaeffer, 38, is accused of entering the fast-food eatery Nov. 6 and demanding money from an employee behind the counter, claiming to have a gun. He ran out of the restaurant without any money, according to sheriff’s spokeswoman Becky Herrin. He and two other men later were rescued in Cuban waters as their boat hit a reef and sank. Shaeffer was arrested in Miami coming back into the country two weeks ago after the Cuban government returned him. The two other men were returned last week.

Union officials said the symphony still owes an estimated $25,000 in wages and travel reimbursements to musicians who performed in January 2010 and to a different group of players who performed in an October 2010 concert, but received only partial payment. Jeff Apana, secretary/treasure of the association, told The Citizen on Thursday that the musicians from the October concert were actually paid more than those who had performed 10 months earlier and received almost nothing. “You would think an organization would pay its oldest debts first, but that wasn’t the case,” he said, adding that the musicians from January 2010 had not heard anything from symphony officials in 18 months, but then received “a token check of $200 just a month before the symphony starts another season.” In addition to unpaid wages, some musicians are still waiting for travel reimburse- Peary Continued from Page 1A or desires, officials said. The zoning-in-progress designation would become effective when the Navy makes its sale. But the Peary Court property’s future could prove problematic nonetheless, as officials visit questions raised by the property’s prior exemption from many requirements, including building codes imposed on most residential properties, because it was owned and operated by the military. “Once it becomes private property, it has to become subject to a zoning standard, setbacks, building heights, lot coverage, open space,” said Key West Planning Director Don Craig. “In our comprehensive plan, the property has an ‘M’ designation, and our regs have no standards for any areas designated or zoned ‘M.’” Once the property is sold, Craig said, the process required by state law for incorporation into Key West’s housing stock could take as KEY WEST Photo courtesy of Christopher Tittel Michael Hodge, Wendy Holifield and Gary Kowalski enjoy Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday at Poinciana Royale in Key West.

The beleaguered symphony started in Key West in 1998 when conductor Sebrina Alfonso created the organization in her hometown. The symphony has been plagued with financial difficulties and in 2010 expanded its reach to include mainland venues in West Palm Beach and Broward County. Amid the financial struggles and protests from musicians, the symphony canceled several concerts last December, but has again taken the stage this week in Key West and Broward County. The symphony performed Thursday night at the Tennessee Williams Theatre on Stock Island, and the concert tonight is slated to begin at 8 p.m., with leaflets being distributed at 7 p.m. Apana said that as of Tuesday, it looked as if the symphony had sold about 200 tickets for tonight’s show, representing about a third of the theater’s capacity. Calls to the symphony office late Thursday were not returned, but a representative in the box office of the Key West venue confirmed that tonight’s concert was taking place.

An important question for Key West residents and businesses is how the 157 Peary Court units are handled in the state’s hurricane evacuation plans, through what are called rate-of-growth rules. State rules specify that Keys municipalities restrict growth to such an extent that all residents can be evacuated safely within 24 hours if a hurricane or other disaster looms. The rate-of-growth rules also protect habitat, endangered species and the environment. The units are already included in the state’s evacuation formula, said Rebecca Jetton of the state’s Department of Economic Opportunity, which has planning and growth oversight over the Keys. Once the sale is completed, city officials can determine what permanent zoning sta- KEY WEST Traffic dispute leads to gun arrest CITIZEN STAFF A man wielding a handgun was arrested early Thursday in a confrontation at an Oceanview Avenue dock in Marathon, according to a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office arrest report. Jorge Fundora, 46, of Hollywood, Fla., was charged with two counts of felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and misdemeanor improper exhibition of a firearm. According to the arrest report, Fundora went to the dock at 5:19 a.m. with two other men and approached Luis Rodriguez, 47, and Andrew Morales, 19, both of Marathon, telling the two he had “unfinished business.” Rodriguez reportedly felt threatened and picked up a wooden stick and a tire iron when Morales stepped between the two men in an attempt to stop the confronta- tus they want for Peary Court. The options are: planned redevelopment district, historic planned redevelopment district, medium density residential or historic medium density residential. There is also the possibility, Craig said, of creating a hybrid category because of its unique characteristics. As the Navy’s negotiations continue, officials said, they will continue exploring how the future of the property will impact hurricane evacuation plans, and whether, in accordance with the city’s comprehensive plan, a percentage of the units must be designated “affordable.” Craig acknowledged that the existing buildings may have problems because of FEMA elevation rules, from which they were exempt as military properties. The existing buildings also may not be in compliance with building codes from which they have been exempt. Mark Songer, president of the Key West environmental advocacy organization Last Stand, said he and his membership will closely follow how the city deals with Peary Court’s issues as they develop. “One thing that we would like to see is that, when it comes to the city, that it be treated as a new development, and that affordable housing components be a part of the process,” Songer said. “We would like to see a number of units reserved in that development actually be affordable housing. We would like to see it for the good of the city.” [email protected] tion, the report states. Fundora then left in his truck and returned on foot carrying a handgun, which he pointed at Rodriguez and threatened to shoot him, deputies said. Morales again intervened, stepping between the two, according to the report. Rodriguez apparently ran from the scene, yelling that he was going to call the Sheriff’s Office. According to Fundora, the ill will started when Rodriguez pulled up next to him at a traffic light and began to threaten him, the report states. Fundora said he then followed Rodriguez to the docks to confront him about it. After interviewing witnesses, a deputy arrested Fundora and seized the gun, along with Fundora’s concealed weapon permit. He was taken to Monroe County Detention Center in Marathon, where he remained Thursday.

CLARIN/PUBLISHER TOM TUELL/EDITOR RALPH MORROW/SPORTS EDITOR ED BLOCK CHARLIE BRADFORD KEN DOMANSKI SHIRLEY FREEMAN TODD GERMAN Put lawmakers’ record on education to the test hen the people of Florida adopted a constitutional amendment in 1998 directing lawmakers to make “high quality” free public education a “paramount duty” of the state, the expectation was that legislators would raise educational excellence and funding to a top priority. But Florida ranks 41st among the 50 states in total per-pupil funding, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and the state’s high school graduation rates and SAT scores rank near the bottom of the nation. Now the Florida Supreme Court is being asked whether a lawsuit that challenges this legislative negligence should be allowed to proceed — something the state is vigorously fighting. This shouldn’t be a close call. Florida’s leaders should have to defend their record on education in court. The initial lawsuit brought by Florida public school students, parents and two education-related nonprofits says that Florida leaders have not followed the dictates of the state Constitution, which require Florida to make “adequate provision” for a “high quality system of free public schools.” Their suit alleges that graduation rates are too low, student achievement too iffy and the money the state provides for education, particularly in teachers’ salaries, is inadequate. These kind of lawsuits, which ask courts to evaluate whether lawmakers are upholding the state Constitution’s educational adequacy guarantees, have been around for decades. Across the country, state courts have been generally willing to adopt judicial standards of educational quality, holding their Legislatures accountable for meeting adequate funding and other educational objectives. Only a minority have taken a hands-off approach, claiming that to second-guess the Legislature would violate the W Editorial separation of powers. This latter argument is the basis of a challenge by Senate President Mike Haridopolos, House Speaker Dean Cannon and others, who asked the 1st District Court of Appeal for a “writ of prohibition” to halt the education lawsuit filed against them on the grounds that educational quality is a political issue for the Legislature alone. In an 8-7 ruling on Nov. 23, the appellate court denied their request and certified the question to the Florida Supreme Court as a matter of great public importance. The high court has the discretion to accept the case or not. This is a valuable opportunity for the high court to protect the will of the people. The situation today is very different from what it was in 1996, when the high court ruled in Coalition for Adequacy and Fairness in School Funding Inc. v. Chiles that lawmakers should be given “enormous discretion” to interpret the state Constitution’s requirement for an adequate and uniform public school system. After that case, the 19971998 Constitution Revision Commission proposed a constitutional amendment to provide measurable education standards. Floridians approved an amendment that made education a “fundamental value” and a “paramount duty” and required the system to be not just uniform but “efficient, safe, secure, and high quality.” The courts are empowered to uphold Florida’s Constitution when it’s sidestepped by the other branches. A case challenging whether lawmakers are fulfilling the Constitution’s education mandate should be allowed to proceed, with each side’s claims judged on the merits. That’s how accountability is supposed to work in a democracy. — The St. Petersburg Times GOVERNMENT WEBSITES: Monroe County http://www.monroecounty-fl.gov City of Key Colony Beach http://www.keycolonybeach.net City of Key West http://www.keywestcity.com Monroe County Sheriff’s Office http://www.keysso.net City of Marathon http://www.ci.marathon.fl.us Monroe County School District http://www.keysschools.com Village of Islamorada http://www.islamorada.fl.us Monroe County Clerk http://www.clerk-of-the-court.com Letters to the editor Why can’t government fund weather buoy?

There is trouble on the horizon, people. Pathetic. Walt Breier Cudjoe Key Cats at soup kitchen have a dubious future I’m writing this letter with a heavy heart. I’ve been with Lower Keys Friends of Animals for many years, and unfortunately have come across situations where animals were treated unfairly in their attempt to live out their lives in paradise. This time it happens to be a colony of cats that live on the property of the St. Mary’s Soup Kitchen on Flagler Avenue. Some of them have lived there for more then four years. Our organization has monitored this colony, going back every year, trapping the new ones to get them spayed or neutered, vaccinating them, microchipping them and treating for fleas and other parasites. In the beginning they were afraid of humans, hiding in the mangroves, only coming out at night. Due to the kindness of some of the volunteers and the homeless that would come there to eat, they became a little more trusting because they were feeding them. Now it seems that there are some who don’t want the cats around anymore and have asked a private individual to trap them and take them away. Because these cats are not domesticated to the point of being adoptable, they will certainly be put to death. This is not something that our local shelter wants to do, but they have no choice. They’ve been working with us to try and save these cats. Lower Keys Friends of Animals offered the funds to build a shelter for the cats where they would have protection from the elements and a place to be fed away from those who don’t want them around. That offer was not accepted. I think the thing that bothers me the most is that this is a place where the homeless, through the generosity of others can get a hot meal every day, and yet they choose to have homeless cats that want one meal a day put to death. Vicki Snow Key West Boozed-up bums have an aversion to labor How do we deal with our bum problem? I’m not talking about the hardworking homeless; I’m talking about the boozed-up malingerers. I’ve been studying the bum for many years in his natural habitat — my backyard. I’ve discovered the bum to be among the scavenger-gatherer groups, although his gathering is restricted to the radius of his outstretched palm. Ostensibly, within his peer group or when handcuffed in the back of a police cruiser, the bum will perform acts of bravado such as smashing his head against another bum’s empty beer bottle or the back window of the arresting officer’s transport vehicle, to establish his superior lionheartedness. In actuality, the boozed-up malingerer’s Machiavellian makeup more closely resembles that of the familiar but infuriating fowl that frequent most of our neighborhoods. This bizarre behavior is somewhat baffling, considering that 99 percent of bums allege to be former ship captains, Navy SEALS or CIA agents. Park rangers nationwide learned long ago not to feed the local fauna, as they will become pests if not forced to forage for themselves. I’ll let you draw your own parallel. I do not profess to have the solution to the bum conundrum, but I often find that to attain temporary respite from their inconvenient existence, just mouth the word “work” and show the bum a hammer, a shovel or even a paint brush, and he will disappear into the mangroves faster than a two-dollar waffle iron from a Los Angeles Kmart on Black Friday.

While stuffed in a laundry hamper. Which would eventually be installed in a campaign bus that could just drive around states that are in play, while never actually leaving the highway. Never have we had a more uptight potential president. This is all because he’s a big, huge, bundle — well, actually, a lean, well-exercised, impeccably groomed bundle — of contradictory positions whose history he cannot possibly justify without standing up and screaming: Look, I’m running for office! I have to make things up! It’s time to free Mitt from his demons. I propose that we give him one week in which to decide at which point in his life he was actually expressing his true opinion on any given topic, and we will just clear the slate and go from there. For instance, it seems likely that despite Romney’s story about not understanding what an embryo was until after he was elected governor of Massachusetts, he has always been privately anti-choice. So let’s go with that and erase those rather emotional moments in his debates with Ted Kennedy when he recalled his mother’s pro-choice Senate candidacy and the close family relative who had died from an illegal abortion. (“It is since that time my mother and my family have been committed to the belief that we can believe as we want, but we will not force our beliefs on others on that matter, and you will not see me wavering on that.”) Poof. It’s gone. I think we should also accept Romney’s word that his current position on Detroit (let the carmakers go bankrupt) is the real Mitt. Honestly, the man spent his whole career laying people off. But, in return, he ought to admit that he really does believe in global warming and that he’s always thought everybody should be required to have health insurance. Really, you can look that one up in his book. Also, he has to stop bragging that the proof of his consistency is his refusal to totally disavow the Massachusetts health care law. “This whole stream of thought that you began with, which is: ‘Oh well, you’d say anything to get elected’ — if that were the case, would I still be defending Massachusetts health care?” Romney demanded in his warehouse interview. Now how does a guy who was governor, who signed the health care law and waved it around like a pennant, go about renouncing the whole thing? I’ll bet he would have if he could have, but how would that work? Could Romney just explain that he was held captive by Democratic terrorists all the time it took the bill to pass, while a stuffed version of Mitt was substituted for public events? It’d be sort of embarrassing to admit that nobody noticed the difference. On immigration, we could all agree to let Romney rant about amnesty now if he will concede that he didn’t give a fig about the whole question back when his lawn was being clipped by undocumented workers in 2006. And maybe we could get over his driving to Canada with the family dog strapped to the roof of the car if he’d just admit it was because he was too cheap to hire a dog-sitter. Maybe.

Graham has pneumonia Architect Arthur Q. Davis, who designed the Superdome with a partner and designed the nearby New Orleans Arena on his own, has died. He was 91. Quint Davis said his father died Wednesday after going into Ochsner Baptist Medical Center for tests. The elder Davis graduated from Tulane University, served in the Navy during World War II and went to Harvard University on the G.I. Bill, studying under such modernist masters as Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer. With partner Nathaniel Curtis, he designed the Superdome and other buildings that helped define New Orleans’ skyline. A private boarding school connected with the Hershey chocolate company says it was trying to protect other students when it denied admission to a Philadelphia-area teenager because he is HIV-positive. The AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit on behalf of the unidentified boy in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia on Wednesday, claiming the Milton Hershey School for disadvantaged students violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. School officials acknowledged that the 13year-old boy was denied admission because of his medical condition. They said they believed it was necessary to protect the health and safety of the 1,850 others enrolled in the residential institution, which serves children in pre-kindergarten to 12th grade and where students live in homes with 10 to 12 others. The Rev. Billy Graham has been diagnosed with pneumonia but remains in good spirits at a North Carolina Hospital. Dr. Mark Hellreich, a pulmonologist treating Graham at Mission Hospitals in Asheville, said Thursday that the 93-year-old evangelist is responding well to antibiotic treatment and is in stable condition. Graham was visited Thursday by his pastor, the Rev. Don Wilton, who prayed with him and read from St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Graham is alert and talking with hospital workers, and has also been visited by his daughter, Gigi. In May, Graham spent five days in the hospital during a bout with pneumonia.

Springsteen and his E Street Band hit the road next year for a worldwide tour. 317620 were Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Radiohead, and dubstep artist Skrillex, who landed a bid for best new artist among his surprising five nominations. Among the evening’s biggest eye-openers were the artists not mentioned in certain categories. Taylor Swift, who won best album in 2010 for “Fearless” and was considered to be a key favorite for her multiplatinum “Speak Now,” only got her three nominations in the country fields, and Tony Bennett, who had a feel-good story as his “Duets II” album made him the oldest act to debut an album at No. 1 at age 85, was not nominated for album of the year, as some critics had predicted. Happ ocals It was Adele’s year, and when the Grammy Awards are revealed next February, it very well may be her night. But on Wednesday night, the British songstress shared in the Grammy nominations glory. While she was nominated for six trophies, including album of the year for “21” and record and song of the year for her bitter groove “Rolling in the Deep,” Bruno Mars and the Foo Fighters also received six each, and it was Kanye West who was the night’s top leader, with seven nominations. West was nominated for song of the year for his all-star anthem “All of the Lights,” which featured everyone from Rihanna to Elton John. But even though the album from which it came, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” was heralded as epic by critics when it was released last year, it was not featured in the best album category (so far, no obligatory West rant has surfaced in response). Bon Iver, the folky indie rock act that was a key part of “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” and received a popularity boost from its association with Kanye, was one of the night’s big winners, receiving four nominations, including for best artist, and song and record of the year for “Holocene.” Other multiple nominees CHRISTMAS PARTY NOW! $25 PER PERSON 1029 Southard at Frances 305-294-0230 OPEN DAILY 5:30-10PM 321373 Enjoy 25% Off With This Ad Only • Mon day, Nov. 28 - Frid 421 Caroline Street ay, Dec. 2, 2011 317572 317857 8A THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2011 Gov. Scott touts new gun plant BY KYLE HIGHTOWER The Associated Press KISSIMMEE — One of the country’s oldest gun manufacturers is expanding in Florida in a move that Gov. Rick Scott called a solid investment for taxpayers and another in a series of projects that will help continue to lower unemployment. The 175-year-old Colt Manufacturing Co. announced it is bringing 63 jobs along with a new regional headquarters and product manufacturing center to Kissimmee next year. The new engineering and manufacturing positions will pay an average salary of just over $45,000. The Harford, Conn.-based Colt is making a $2.5 million investment, with state incentives of about $1.6 million, including $250,000 from Gov. Rick Scott’s Quick Action Closing Fund and funds for workforce training. Asked several times by reporters whether taxpayers should good feel about spending more than $1 million to gain 63 jobs, Scott defended the investment for the project saying it will be monitored to make sure it offers a return for taxpayers. “And if we don’t, then we’ll get the money back,” he said. He also said officials are looking at incentive deals that were set up before he became governor “and making sure companies do the right thing there.” Osceola County Commission Chairman John Quiñones agreed with Scott’s assessment of the Colt project’s viability. He Osceola has a “fluid business environment” in which new companies are exempt from paying development impact Hotel Continued from Page 1A and the changes to development rules, as the project is in the flight path of Navy training exercises, and would subject more people to loud jet noise. Naval Air Station Key West Business Manager Ron Demes attended Thursday’s meeting and voiced the Navy’s opposition. The proposal is not consistent with the county’s comprehensive plan, Demes said. The proposed hotel would involve about 72 units, said Matthew Strunk, a New York-based real estate investor and developer who has overseen the redevelopment of the marina in recent years. Following the meeting, Strunk told The Citizen that plans would include areas for commercial fishing boats, live-aboard boats and other traditional waterfront activities. He said he planned to keep set aside a 4-acre area of the marina for commercial fishing boats, and to keep the 85 live-aboard boats that now berth at the marina. “We want to keep it a working waterfront,” he said. “A working waterfront with commercial fishing is an attraction. ... There should be a trade-off. There can be a solution in which everyone wins. But you have to keep an open mind.” Strunk said a hotel would help keep dockage rates reasonable for the people who live on the boats in the marina. Stock Island Village Marina is not the only landowner on Shrimp Road that would like to develop transient units on its property. Bart Smith, an attorney for Robbie’s Marina and other Shrimp Road landowners, told the commission- fees until February. “The fact is you’re creating manufacturing jobs (and) you’re creating a vision into the future,” Quiñones said. “Manufacturing jobs are so hard to come by. And the fact that they’re choosing Osceola County and they’re choosing Florida to come to is going to present so many opportunities for Osceola to develop and for potential tourism as well.” That could mean a Colt museum at the Osceola plant, like one at the company’s Hartford facility. Scott said that his focus remains on more job creation for the state. “I call on companies pretty much every day,” he said. “(Colt) is somebody I’ve called on ... . In this case I called the company, made sure they were going to come down here and it’s what I do every day.” ers his clients also were interested in changing land-use rules to redevelop their properties. Smith said his clients oppose granting changes only to Stock Island Village Marina. Strunk told The Citizen he plans to sit down with the other landowners to talk about landuse changes that might apply to all of Safe Harbor. The meeting reignited a debate that dominated county politics from 2007 to 2009 — preserving commercial fishing and working waterfronts. County staff and developers crafted several amendments designed to protect working waterfronts. Those amendments were approved by the Monroe County Commission and submitted to the state for approval. The state rejected the amendments, but worked with county staff and landowners toward a compromise. The amendments were heavily criticized as doing more to enable resort development than to protect working waterfronts. The County Commission eventually scrapped the amendments in 2009, and has taken no further action since. Strunk was working with New Stock Island Properties, which had proposed a massive upscale marina and resort hotel in the area. The group sought to build the hotel without obtaining state-issued transient dwelling allocations in exchange for making the hotel available for emergency operations during hurricanes. Developers also sought to use bay bottom in their density calculations. Following an election in which two county commissioners were unseated, the commission rejected the proposal.

Nearly 594,500 people with AIDS in the United States have died since the epidemic began. Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men of all races remain the population most severely affected by HIV, accounting for 61 percent of all new HIV infections in 2009, according to the latest U.S. research. African-American men continue to face the most severe rate of HIV infection. For years in Key West, White would speak at the World AIDS Day ceremony, calling AIDS a plague and the granite blocks beneath his feet holy ground. On Thursday, others were left to speak in his absence. “In a way, this disease has made us a stronger community,” said Jon Allen, president of the Friends of the AIDS Memorial. “It has forced us to come together to apply strengths we didn’t know we had.” While Allen said it was difficult to single out a name among the 1,157 etched into the dark granite, he told the crowd of about 100 that White’s passion for creating the memo- Traffic Continued from Page 1A lighting, bazaar and a 7 p.m. parade. Deputies will direct traffic to keep it moving, but it will be slow going at the beginning and end of the event, Herrin said. For more information, visit www.islamoradachamber. com/events.cfm. Starting at 7 a.m. Saturday, rial included a painstaking effort to ensure that each name was spelled correctly. Allen recalled the first friend he knew who died of AIDS, a young man in 1982. Many others who gathered at the pier Thursday knew all too well the epidemic’s terrifying start, before it even had a name. The local response grew into the nonprofit AIDS Help Inc., which today stands as a comprehensive support system that offers case management, housing, transportation and other solutions for about 325 people a month living with HIV or fullblown AIDS. “The reason AIDS Help was created was that so many people in their 20s were dying of AIDS,” said Joe Pais, deputy director of the Florida Keys nonprofit. “Friends would get ill, go to the hospital and some would be dead within two weeks.” Friends and family would care for the dying in their homes, Pais said. “Throughout Monroe County, hospitals were very fearful of taking AIDS patients,” said Pais. “This community responded very well. People took care of each other.” They still do, by supporting AIDS Help, which gets 14 percent of its income from donations and fundraisers. “Without the support from this community that we get, we would not be able to keep the doors open and keep these people alive and living a quality life,” said Pais, a former art gallery owner who has been involved with AIDS Help since its inception in 1986 and worked there since 2001. Only 28 percent of the 1.2 million Americans living with HIV have the infection under control, increasing the risk that they will spread the disease to others, according to a report published this week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Exacerbating the problem is that an estimated one in five U.S. adults infected with HIV don’t know it, and of those who know their HIV status, only half seek continuous medical care, the research said. “If you fall off, our case managers are going out into the street looking for you,” said Pais. “Even now, many of our clients fall out of care; they won’t take their meds. We have a tough job — even 25 years later, we’re still having problems keeping people in care.” Pais said he knows about a quarter of the people whose names are engraved at the Key West AIDS Memorial, some friends dating back to the 1980s. “There is hope here,” he said. “Many of my friends with AIDS are still living. I see them all the time. Many of them are in very good health.” [email protected] traffic from Mile Marker 8 to Cow Key Channel Bridge will be limited to one lane in each direction for the Key West Triathlon. It will slow the flow of traffic until about 11 a.m., Herrin said. About 1,200 athletes are expected to participate this year, according to www.trikw.com. Also Saturday morning, in the Upper Keys, more than 500 motorcyclists are expected to take part in the Officer Assistance Trust Holiday Gifts for Surviving Children program. The group of law enforcement officers will motor down to Monroe County at 11 a.m. en route to Holiday Isle in Islamorada. Intersections will be temporarily closed until the entire group passes. The program raises money for gifts for the children of officers killed in the line of duty. For more information, visit www.POAT.org.

KEY WEST — After a tumultuous first game for the Key West girls’ basketball team last week, Randy Fabal stepped down as head coach leaving the program in a lurch — but not for long. On Monday, the girls’ junior varsity coach and assistant varsity coach Tezah Waters was named as the new varsity coach and JV coach. Waters, better known as Tez or Capt. Tez, has a lot of work ahead especially as they head into their District 16-4A contest tonight against Gulliver Prep. The ever positive Waters is extremely happy to be back on the court. Her goal is to inspire her team to be better ball players which she said can lead to great things in life. “I’ve got a big task but I am up for it,” Waters said. “I believe in these girls, I was one of them. I’ve been playing since I was five, played hard, hard ball in Texas. It was very serious coaching and I took it serious. I want to help empower these girls, I believe in their potential.” Near the end of practice Thursday on the Bill Butler Court of the Bobby Menendez Gymnasium, Waters circled the girls near the bleachers. “I’ve got a big task but I am up for it.

I want to help empower these girls, I believe in their potential.” Tezah Waters New Lady Conchs coach She spoke about the future and her belief in their ability. Waters told them she “had their back” but said they had to work hard as an individual — on and off the court. “I believe good attitude, good grades and good skills make great athletes,” Water emphasized. “I can help them with the skills, but they’ve got to work on their grades See CONCHS, page 3B MIKE HENTZ/The Citizen Key West’s Anthony Rice goes up for an attempted block in the Conchs’ season opening, 59-28, victory over Barrington Academy on Wednesday night at the Bobby Menendez Gymnasium.

As the athletes try to hold their mental focus toward this weekend, there is a small group of Key Westers that already is looking past the TRIKW toward something bigger and more grueling. The Ironman. “It’s about that next step up, marathons, tris, half-ironmans now this,” said Bill Elkins. He has been in Key West for over eight years, is a certified USA Triathlon Coach and owns Ultimate Athletics which is a health and fitness-based company here in Key West. The Key West Triathlon is an Olympic distance triathlon which means the length is set by the Olympic committee and has been the same for as long as the sport has been in the Olympics. That is 1.5 Km (0.9 mi.) swim, 40 Km (24.8 mi.) bike and 10 Km (6.2 mi.) run. The Ironman is over double that- 2 mile swim, 100 mile bike and 26.2 mile run, a full marathon.

All I ask for is for the girls to give their best and they did that (Thursday).” Coming off a tough loss to American Heritage over the Thanksgiving break, the Hurricanes (5-3, 3-1 District 16-3A), which have yet to beat the Raiders during Paterson’s tenure as coach, lost consecutive games for the first time this season. “We played well, Gulliver is just very fast,” Paterson said, via a phone conversation following the match. “There is nothing bad to say about our girls, they really did play well.” The Raiders took a 3-0 lead by halftime and added three more in the second frame. Senior Jasmine Paterson netted the Hurricanes’ only goal in the 60th minute when she took a pass from Kelly Cassidy and beat a pair of defenders before nailing the shot. Coach Paterson said his team had other opportunities to score in the contest but could not close out the chances. Coral Shores is back in action on Tuesday against Archbishop Carrollton and, despite Thursday’s loss to Gulliver, coach Paterson said he remains optimistic about his team’s chances come the postseason. “We need a lot more than just opportunities to be successful against Gulliver,” said Paterson. “But this is just a regular season game and it only really counts in RON COOKE/The Citizen Coral Shores’ Jasmine Paterson scored districts and regionals.” the Hurricanes’ lone goal on Thursday.

McNabb was in the locker room when it was open to reporters Thursday, but he wasn’t on the field an hour later when practice began. Christian Ponder was promoted to replace McNabb as the starter after relieving him in the fourth quarter at Chicago on Oct. 16. The Vikings declined comment. LOCAL COED SOFTBALL MEN’S COLLEGE SOCCER Pending Jags owner avoiding MNF game BEN TWINGLEY /The Associated Press Franklin-Pierce’s Diego Tabares is defended by Lynn’s Lulian Halder while moving the ball up the field on Thursday during an NCAA Division II men’s semifinal match host by the University of West Florida at Ashton Brosnaham Soccer Complex in Pensacola. Lynn won, 1-0, in a shootout and will take on the winner of Millersville and Fort Lewis which play in the other semifinal. JACKSONVILLE — Pending Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan is avoiding the limelight for now. Khan says in a statement that he has turned down an invitation from outgoing Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver to attend Monday night’s game against San Diego. The Illinois businessman says he will be in New York to focus on the NFL Finance Committee’s meeting Tuesday. The sale is reported to be worth $760 million. NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION The Associated Press MIAMI — Some Miami Heat players went back to work Thursday. Mike Miller wasn’t with them, thanks to yet another injury. Such was an auspicious beginning for the reigning Eastern Conference champions. Continuing a trend from last season, when he played in only half of Miami’s 82 regular-season games, Miller will miss about eight weeks while recovering from hernia surgery. Miller told The Associated Press that he had the procedure earlier this week, adding that he isn’t sure how the injury happened. “It’s unreal with my luck right now,” Miller said. “When it rains it pours.” So a day that was supposed to be tinged with optimism — the return of some Heat players to the team facility for the first time since the NBA lockout began July 1 — came with a cloud of uncertainly. Miller missed the start of last season, his first with the Heat, after breaking his right thumb by getting tangled in LeBron James’ jersey during a preseason practice. He had shoulder problems during the year and needed offseason surgery on his left thumb. Now comes this, amid widespread speculation that the Heat may consider using the new amnesty provision in the still-not-completed new collective bargaining agreement to jettison Miller and the approximate $4.35 million — that’s pro-rated for a 66-game schedule, the original total was $5.4 million — he would have made this season. He’s owed $18.2 million for the three seasons that follow this one as well. “I know Mike. He’s a strong guy, he’s going to stay positive and he’s going to get back as soon as he can,” said Heat forward Udonis Haslem, who went to the University of Florida with Miller and considers him one of his very closest friends. “The key with Mike is, we’ve got to fight him not to get back too fast. He’s going to want to be out there. He’s going to want to play. He’s got to just pace himself and get healthy.” Haslem, Chris Bosh and Joel Anthony were among a handful of Heat players working out at the team’s arena Thursday for the first time since June, and Dexter Pittman sent word he would arrive later in the day. It was the first day players could return to team facilities since the NBA lockout began July 1. Free agents Juwan Howard and James Jones also worked out; both were with the Heat last season. More players are likely over the next few days. James and Dwyane Wade are expected next week. Haslem and Bosh are both under contract and worked out in Heat gear; Jones, who says he isn’t sure where he will play this season, was not in teamstamped apparel. The lockout is not over, but the NBA is allowing teams to open their doors again in anticipation of training camps starting Dec. 9. The regular season is expected to begin Dec. 25. The NBA and its players struck a tentative deal on the framework of a new CBA last weekend. It was the first sort-of official business for the Heat since they cleaned out lockers in the days after the NBA finals loss to Dallas. However, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and team president Pat Riley were nowhere to be found on Thursday, forbidden from seeing the workouts. “It was exciting. It’s like a breath of fresh air,” a noticeably more-muscular Bosh said of returning to the team facility. “It’s kind of like an exhale, finally getting to see everybody, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ Getting to WILFREDO LEE /The Associated Press Heat forward James Jones, center, shoots next to Chris Bosh during a voluntary workout on Thursday in Miami. Thursday was the first day players could return to team facilities since the NBA lockout began July 1. talk to everybody, not just to say hello and kind of be together with our teammates. Little things like putting on the gear and being in the locker room, it feels really good. I don’t take it for granted anymore. I feel good about it and I feel good to be here.” Haslem said he’s no longer slowed by the ruptured foot ligament that ailed him last season, though he’s holding off on fullcourt work until camp begins. “I missed being around here,” Haslem said. “I missed the atmosphere. I missed the work, everything about it.” For now, he’s also missing someone — that being Miller. “He’s been like a brother,” Haslem said. “It’s more than just a friendship. Going through the injuries together, if you can believe it, we got even closer. I know how hard he’s worked this summer. ... He’s really put a lot of hard work in and really looking forward to this year. It’s really unfortunate.” Continued from page 1B RON COOKE/The Citizen Tez Waters talks to the Key West girls’ basketall team Thursday afternoon. Waters took over as head coach on Monday. their last chance to ever play in high school. It’s up to them whether they want to be on the bench or the court. I want them all on the court and I’m helping them towards that. We’ve been really working as a team and I’m teaching them fundamentals not just showing plays. We’ve got through the fundamentals, I can teach them plays. It’s all about conditioning and basics. They ran plays three days in a row. They responded but we’ll see what happens on the court but I’m not expecting anything but greatness from them.” Although Waters might not have much background on their registered by December 20th.

PREP BASKETBALL CITIZEN STAFF Conchs and their attitude. We bring that all together and I’m going to empower these young women that will give them long-lasting memories. Some of my best memories are from high school and tough coaches. I may have hated my coach at the time because I had to run extra. I was suspended for a week for mouthing off. I love my coach now, I’m trying to find her right now so I can thank her and say I am sorry.” As with any new coach, Waters said her one main goal is to build a successful program. “It’s not about an individual, it’s about the program as a whole. I have to preserve the reputation of this school and its athletics,” Water explained. “First and foremost, they are going to be part of that. It’s not about one person — it’s about Key West High School girls’ basketball. I’m here to support good solid foundations in basketball.” Over the past four days of practices, Waters said they covered a lot of ground rules as well as playing the game. “We’ve accomplished what is acceptable and what is not acceptable behavior on this team. We’ve talked about structure of and how important this program to this school. We’ve talked about these seniors and all these players to make their memories,” the coach said. “It’s The third annual Marques Butler Memorial Coed Softball Tournament is scheduled for January 28 through 29, 2012.

The cost per is $275 if CS boys lose in district opener Miller injury overshadows 1st day of Heat workouts BY TIM REYNOLDS Preparations & registrations underway for 3rd annual Marques Butler Tournament highly regarded opponents today, she said every game is tough. “I’ve heard and done research on our opponents and they’re very disciplined, they have a lot of people that come and recruit them so they’ve always got something to prove,” Water said. “Our girls, they have something to prove tonight. I will put my heart up, which is my girls, against their skill any day. We’ll get together as a team tomorrow — we’re reunited. Tonight is not going to reflect on the score, tonight is going to reflect as how they play as a team and how they can come together and show this community they really are there. It starts at the top with the leader, and if I can remain cool and calm and lead them in the way they can be lead, it will be good. I’ll let them fly or see if they fall, either way I’ll support them.” Waters said she is back where she belongs — on the court. Better yet, she said she is not going anywhere. “I’m very excited about working with them. After my chance of playing pro ball fell through I never thought I’d be back in an arena as a coach,” she said. “This just brings me back to feel 30 years younger. It makes me feel great being with them. They bring out the best in me. They push me to see how far to take it but I’m still here. I’m not bowing down. Without a doubt, I’ll be here at the end of the season. I hope to help some of them get scholarships, I’ll be here for them watching them graduate.” Capt. Tez hopes to be an inspiration to her team. She wants to bring more than basketball skills to the girls. “Once they get empowered they’ll go ‘wow, I learned how to drive it to the hoop today’ or ‘wow, I can go for that scholarship, I can get a job doing this, I can be a CEO, I can be anything I want to be,’” she said. “Once you can drive to the hoop — you’re five foot and can go up against a six-foot girl and you take her — nothing can stop you.” [email protected] In its District 16-3A opener, the Coral Shores High boys’ basketball team had problems getting anything going inside as the St. Brendan’s guards kept pressure on all of the pass in a 68-45 rout over the Hurricanes. Will Ismer led the Canes with 18 points and 13 rebound, while teammate Alex Gomez picked up six points and seven assists. Kaylin Carter added three points and four rebounds for Coral Shores (1-2, 01 District 16-3A) as Adon Todd had 13 points and five rebounds. St. Brendan created 23 turnovers against Coral Shores. “St. Brendan was extremely fast,” said Coral Shores coach Jay Sanders. “Turnovers were a key and they got a hand on every pass. They were able to pound the perimeter and that made it real tough for us.” GOLF: ROUNDUP DANNY MOLOSHOK /The Associated Press Tiger Woods tosses grass to check the wind on the third tee box during the first round of the Chevron World Challenge at Sherwood Country Club on in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Choi takes lead, Tiger three back THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — K.J. Choi opened with five straight birdies. Tiger Woods looked as good as he did in Australia, making his fourth birdie with a 3-iron to an elevated green on the par-5 fifth that covered the flag. And then, without warning, the wind showed up Thursday at Sherwood Country Club. Choi held his own in gusts up to 30 mph and finished with a 6-under 66, giving him a three-shot lead over Woods and Steve Stricker in the Chevron World Challenge. They were the only three players to break 70 in the 18-man field in the final official event in America this year. “Anything under par is a good day today with the wind up,” said Woods, a four-time winner of this event and the tournament host. “If the wind stayed down, you’re going to have to shoot probably 68 or below for it to be a good score.” Five of the six players who broke par — Jim Furyk, Nick Watney and Rickie Fowler were at 71 — had most recently played at blustery Royal Melbourne in the Presidents Cup. Choi figures he had even a greater advantage. He lives in Dallas. “I was used to playing in the windy conditions, not only playing in Melbourne, but also living in Dallas, where there’s 20- to 30-mile wind every other day,” Choi said. “I’m used to practicing in those conditions. I’ve become very comfortable in those windy conditions.” NEDBANK GOLF CHALLENGE SUN CITY, South Africa — Defending champion Lee Westwood made a 20-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 4-under 68 and a share of the lead with Masters winner Charl Schwartzel in the Nedbank Golf Challenge. Robert Karlsson opened with a 69 at Gary Player Country Club, and top-ranked Luke Donald was another stroke back along with Martin Kaymer, Graeme McDowell, Jason Dufner, Simon Dyson and K.T. Kim. HONG KONG OPEN HONG KONG — U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy shot a 6-under 64 in blustery conditions for share of the lead with Alvaro Quiros and David Horsey in the Hong Kong Open. Two-time champion Miguel Angel Jimenez opened with a 65 on the Hong Kong Golf Club’s Fanling Course. Defending champion Ian Poulter had a 71, and John Daly shot a 74. 4B THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2011 LOCAL SPORTS YOUTH FOOTBALL Postseason begins as teams fight for Orange Bowl births BY RON COOKE Citizen Staff KEY WEST – Sporting “The U” colors, a pair of Homestead youth football All-Stars teams marched into George Mira Football Field last weekend to take on their Key West counterparts for a chance to play in the Orange Bowl Youth Football Alliance Championships on December 10th and the 11th. The Hurricanes and Conchs squared off in the 105-pound and 120-pound divisions splitting the victories. The 120-pound class Key West squad topped the Canes, but the 105 class Conchs were eliminated. The 120 and 145-pound, which drew a bye last week, both advance to the next round this weekend at Milander Park Saturday morning on the mainland. The 120-pound Key West team will kickoff at 9 a.m. and the 145 class at 10:30. Both teams will play squads from Palm Beach. The two-day Orange Bowl Youth Football Alliance championships, sponsored by Sports Authority, will give teams from eight different weightclass divisions the chance to play for the famed Orange Bowl Trophy at FIU Stadium on the campus of Florida International University. 120-POUND CLASS KEY WEST 24, HOMESTEAD 6 Key West jumped out to an 18-6 lead before the Canes could put any points on the scoreboard. Lamont Woods sprinted into the end zone in the first quarter helping the Conchs go up 6-0. Not long after, Alvin Howard broke free and went down the sidelines for 52 yard and the TD to end the first frame up by a dozen points. In the second quarter, Howard threw a halfback pass to Trey Delong advancing Key West to an 18-point advantage. Azariah Covington’s third quarter touchdown run gave the Hurricane fans plenty to cheer about, but a fourth quarter TD by Jackson McDonald dashed the Hurricanes’ hopes of pulling off an upset. 105-POUND CLASS HOMESTEAD 26, KEY WEST 6 The Conchs leaped out to a 6-0 first quarter advantage, but that was all the stingy Homestead defense would allow not to mention the high-powered running game. Homestead knotted the game in the second on Alejando Valdez’s first of three touchdown runs. Not long after, Danarro Michel put the Canes on top for good with a TD run and Thurman Bell added the point after attempt and a 13-0 advantage. Bell struck twice more, one in the third and his final scoring run in the fourth quarter. Kanari Felton’s point after attempt was good to ice the scoring.

TRIKW Continued from page 1B Questions of mental stability inevitably follow the notion of such an endeavor, but there seems to be a method to their madness, or at least a reason for it. “There is a rush that you chase,” said Mike Russo, Key West resident and Ironman. “It’s indescribable.” Technically speaking, the rush that many athletes describe is a release of adrenaline by your body and the simultaneous replenishing of oxygen that creates a euphoric feeling. For longer and more intense activities, the rush may last longer. “It gives you a kind of superhuman feeling like you can accomplish anything,” Russo said. Mike Behmke, 45, shares Russo’s sentiment and has used triathlons as a well of confidence during these adverse economic times. “The Thrill of the event is so satisfying,” Behmke said. He found a wealth of inspiration in the people at these events, not worrying about mortgages or the Dow, just accomplishing the task at hand. Russo, 51, is the only one of the group that has finished an Ironman and he will certainly act as a sort of training and Ironman guide throughout the process. “The key to the Ironman is that the bike is the bulk of your training,” he said. The constant wear and tear on the joints is difficult to avoid during training for an event like this, and it forces the athlete to become more cerebral, utilizing tactic and strategy during training instead of superficial physical monotony. A lot of older athletes are finding that their bodies cannot withstand the constant pounding that is accompanied with marathon training which leads a lot of athletes to the bike and to triathlons. That has lead to an exponential growth in the sport. These Key Westers feel that our climate and terrain give them a particular advantage. “Everyday is a running day,” Behmke said. The year-round, outdoor training facility that is Key West helps triathletes work on facets of their game that others simply cannot adequately work indoors. The wonderful community that these athletes describe is another advantage that Key West offers. “It’s really amaz- ing how many athletes are here in this small town,” Said Susan Dekeyser. Susan, 45, has been in Key West over seven years and has appreciated and embraced the community support here. “I thought it might take 10 years to train [for an Ironman],” Susan said. But with Stay Fit Studios and Ultimate Athletics helping weave a superb web of support for athletes like Susan, she will be joining the other Key Westers in less than 12 months to scale this once-seemingly unattainable summit. “The actual event is just a blip on the radar,” said Russo. “The real event is the training.” THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2011 HOROSCOPES for today FRIDAY, DEC. 2, 2011 In the year ahead, you could become involved in a new enterprise that might be huge, but is nevertheless quite promising. Even if early signals are a bit discouraging, if you stay with it, you will eventually succeed. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Before starting another project, be sure to first finish what you’ve already begun. Focus and follow-through become difficult when you have too many things going on at the same time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be extremely selective regarding whose counsel you follow. Going with the wrong advice could cause minor complications to turn into very serious ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Warning signs are all over your chart, telling you that going to the wrong adviser could cause complications that would turn into 1C KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIED BRIDGE TIPS grave impediments. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Subdue any kind of inclinations that invite distraction. Chances are they would cause you to waver in your pursuit of an objective, when you should be giving your full attention. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- By pretending you know a lot about something when in reality you know little, you could get yourself in an embarrassing position when asked to explain it to others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If a friend of yours attempts to pry some confidential information out of you, hold firm in keeping mum. If this particular info morsel were to be circulated, you’d be blamed. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -All being difficult will get you is a loss of support from your friends. Don’t be your own worst enemy; build bridges, don’t burn them. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take it slow when engaged in something important that could produce many future rewards, and make sure you do everything right. Patience will get you where you want to go much quicker than haste. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When caught up in something that is not directly under your control, it behooves you to be on guard. You could easily be blamed for another’s mistake and be forced to rectify it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Don’t get caught up in airing a disagreement with your spouse in front of others. Having an audience would only make matters worse as each of you tries to look like the blameless party. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Conditions are such where a gadget, tool, material or a method could easily cause you to run amok if you’re not totally familiar with its intricacies. Get quality instructions first. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Impulsiveness on your part could cause you to purchase an expensive piece of merchandise for which you currently have little use but hope one day to have. Wait to buy it until you actually need it. A MURDER MYSTERY WITH DEALS INCLUDED mended.A limit raise requires four trumps. However, if North had responded two clubs (or two diamonds, showing where her points lay), South would have rebid two hearts and ruined the point of the deal. South has two top losers: the heart ace and club ace. So she needs to have only one trump loser. The normal play is to cash the ace, then lead low to dummy’s queen. Here, as you can see, that results in the loss of two tricks and defeat of the contract. An alternative, playing low to the queen first, planning to finesse the 10 on the second round if the queen loses to the king, also fails with this layout. The heroine of the story led dummy’s heart king at trick two. What conclusion did West draw? That declarer was arranging to ruff heart losers on the board. So West took his heart ace and shifted to a low trump. When declarer played low from the board, she suddenly had no trump losers and came home with an overtrick for a top in a duplicate. 513........................................Timeshares 514..........................Condos Lower Keys 516.........................Condos Middle Keys 518..........................Condos Upper Keys 520...........................Homes Lower Keys 522..........................Homes Middle Keys 524...........................Homes Upper Keys Commercial 526......................Business Opportunity 528...............................Business Wanted 530.......................................Investments 532................................Income Property 534.......................Commercial Property Other Real Estate 536...............Lots & Acreage Lower Keys 538.............Lots & Acreage Middle Keys REAL ESTATE 540...............Lots & Acreage Upper Keys 542...............................Realty Elsewhere Mobile Homes 502........................................

I also revealed the contents of my will. Now I feel exposed, uncomfortable and vulnerable -- possibly even a bit paranoid that they might want to have me “six feet under” sooner than I should be. I don’t think I am ready to move yet, but I have gotten my family’s hopes up. I did talk to one of them and felt reassured at the time, but I still sense that there’s a change in how they perceive me and all of our futures now. How can I undo the damage, knowing I have to make sure I have enough money to live on as well as provide for them when I’m gone? -FOOT-IN-MOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS DEAR F-IN-M: Two of the most sensitive subjects to discuss are death and money, and you deserve praise for having started the conversation. I disagree that making your intentions known instead of having them transmitted during a reading of your will was a mistake. Because you feel there may have been a misunderstanding, call a family meeting and clarify your message. Tell them your health is great, you have no plans to move in the near future and plan to live a long and happy life. DEAR ABBY: My mother lives in an assisted living community in the memory care unit. During a recent visit, I became upset because the care staff addressed my mom as “Granny,” “Grandma,” “Mamma,” etc. Mother struggles with the time of day, the day of the week and sometimes forgets who we are -- so I don’t see the benefit of using names other than her own. I think it is disrespectful, unacceptable and unprofessional. When I asked the attendant to please address Mom as “Mrs. Smith” or “Ms. Ann,” she laughed and said, “Granny wouldn’t know who I was talking to if I called her by those names.” My siblings and I took this issue to the director, who told us we shouldn’t be hurt and that the staff was showing our mom she is loved. Iaminterestedinknowingyour opinion on this matter. -- SHE HAS A NAME IN GEORGIA DEAR SHE HAS A NAME: Not knowing the national origin of the attendants in your mother’s care unit I can’t be certain, but what you encountered may be a cultural difference. In other cultures, calling someone “Mama,” “Auntie” or “Grandma” is considered respectful. While it made YOU uncomfortable, if it didn’t have that effect on your mother, you should take your cue from the director of the facility. However, because you have formally requested that your mother be addressed by name, then that is what should be done in the future. DEAR ABBY: When my husband and I are out together, he strides out ahead of me and calls back, “Catch up!” or “Keep up!” I am not creeping along but walking at my own (reasonable) pace. I think he should either slow down or let me walk behind him and not expect me to run after him at his command. What do you think? -- LIKES TO SMELL THE ROSES IN TENNESSEE DEAR LIKES TO SMELL THE ROSES: Unless your husband is a Marine drill sergeant, I think you’re right.
