Harbor House condos coming down

After sitting vacant for more than five years, two
large townhomes in the Key West Bight will finally
be torn down on Tuesday.
The homes were models for the ill-fated Harbor
House development that went into foreclosure in
2008, once located at the site of Jabour’s Motor
Court.
The trailer park, Veterans of Foreign Wars post
and a small office building were purchased in parcels between 2004 and 2007 for about $23 million
by a company called Caroline Street Partners. The
development company originally planned a large
complex called Watermark, but downsized to the
smaller Harbor House in the face of residents’ objections and a drawn out lawsuit.
By the time the group changed its plans and
reduced the scale of the project, the market tanked
and the development went into foreclosure.
The buildings are being removed Tuesday to clear
the way for a swanky, new 96-room resort, tentatively called Seaport Hotel. The hotel is being developed
by Florida Keys millionaire developer Pritam Singh,
whose projects include Parrot Key, Truman Annex
and the Golf Club in Key West, Tranquility Bay in
Marathon and developments in New England.
Singh, who is purchasing the property from the
bank, expects the demolition to take a week and

1898 A brief funeral service was held at St. Paul’s Episcopal
Church for Ensign Worth Bagely, who was killed when enemy
gunfire hit the USS Winslow off the coast of Cuba. His body was
shipped to North Carolina for burial.
1935 The final report for the 1935 Florida Census showed there
were 12,470 people in Key West and 865 living on the Keys.
1955 Mike Warren, who operated the stand in the lobby of the
federal building on Simonton Street for the Florida State Service
for the Blind, was named Lion of the Year by the Key West Lions
Club.
1970 The 42nd Annual Convention of the Florida State
Firemen’s Association was held in Marathon.
1983 Old Town Trolley, owned by Ed Swift and Chris Belland,
purchased the Conch Train from Miami-based Wometco
Enterprises. Bill and Olive Kroll, who founded the train in
January 1958, had sold it to Wometco in 1972.

with Hulk Hogan, was being filmed in Key West.
“I hope they never put back the
green mesh on the construction

construction debris looks better

“The question is: Do the people
of Key West want the channel
dredged or not? Why is the City
Commission being so obtuse? It’s
yes or no. The study is just more
smoke and mirrors by those who
want the channel dredged. Get
your heads out of your rear ends.”
“To the caller regarding the closing of the Frances Street gate at
the cemetery who said he wants
to come through for peace and
quiet: My understanding was
that the gate was open for those
people coming to visit loved ones
who are buried there. It is still
being used as a shortcut. At 8
or 9 in the morning you will see
people speeding through. That gate
needs to be locked whether Jimmy
Weekley likes it or not.”

A 70-year-old woman called
police to her Bahama Village
home last week after finding
what appeared to be a nasty
name scratched into the hood
of her car.
“Suspects used an unknown
object to scratch the word
‘hoe’ into the top of the
hood,” Officer Diane Lipinski
wrote in her report, classifying the incident as criminal
mischief.
The criminal handiwork
damaged a 1-foot-by-8-inch
area and was about a half-inch
deep, Lipinski reported, adding
that someone definitely wanted
the word “hoe” to stand out.
A “squiggly design” also was
scratched into the 2011 light
green Kia to underscore the word
“Since the shooters at Fort Hood,
Virginia Tech, the CN school, and
(even though they were too young
to vote, their parents were liberal
Democrats) the Columbine shooters were liberal Democrats, to
make our town safer, Key West may
want to just pass a law that keeps
liberal Democrats from owning a
gun.”
“When the city turned the wastewater bills over to the Florida Keys
Aqueduct Authority, I discovered
I had been paying the city $48 a
month for two properties’ nonexistent wells since 1985. So check
your bill and see if you have been
paying extra. Looking forward to
the refund.”
“This jacking up of house rents
must stop. Greed will only drive
away the people who work in this
town. I work here in the Keys, and
first, last and security that adds up
to $6,600 is bull. Without bar staff,
entertainment, or people to run
this town, tourist will stop coming.”
“hoe,” the incident report said.
The 70-year-old victim said
the vandalism occurred in the
200 block of Truman Avenue
sometime between 5 p.m. May
5 and 10 a.m. May 6. She called
police on May 7.
No witnesses, suspects or
leads have been disclosed by
police.
The woman said she believes,
“it was meant for another vehicle that looks like hers,” and
told police she had no idea who
could have done it, the report
said.

‘Biggest Loser’ type contest
Notice about rights of way
Local “wellness coach” Susan Knowles
this week is launching the Big Pine Key
Area Weight Loss Challenge, inspired by
TV’s “The Biggest Loser.”
The 12-week, $35 course offers tips on
nutrition and exercise, along with the flair
of competition. Participants will weigh
in each week, and the three who lose
the most weight (based on percentage)
will split most of the participant fees collected. Enrollees can use any weight-loss
program they’d like.
Of the $35 fee, $25 will be used as the
prize for the three winners, and the other
$10 will be donated to Big Pine Academy.
There will be two classes of competitors. One will start at 7 p.m. Tuesday and
the other at 7 p.m. Thursday, both meeting at St. Peter Church, Mile Marker 31.5.
To register or for more information, call
Knowles at 305-240-2483.
Key West residents and business owners
will receive a question-and-answer sheet
about public rights of way in their upcoming utility bills, according to city spokeswoman Alyson Crean.
The city is trimming trees and shrubs in
the rights of way for safety and to comply
with a court order that mandates following athe Americans with Disabilities Act,
according to the information. “Property
owners can help by making sure their
landscaping complies with city codes:
Everything must be trimmed at least 80
inches above the right of way and a minimum of 36 inches wide,” the statement
says.
This allows for safe walking and better
visibility for motorists and bicycles, the
city says.

gathering each afternoon by
the windows of the home she
shared with Peace Corps colleagues to catch a glimpse of
the exotic foreigners. She even
remembers the yellow flowers
in front of that house.
However, Alvarado doesn’t
remember Ernest Bai Koroma,
the boy who grew up to become
Sierra Leone’s president. But
Koroma remembers her.
“You never know who you’re
influencing,” said Alvarado,
who went onto a long career as
Chicago school teacher before
retiring to Key Largo in 1999.
It turns out Koroma, 59, was
one of the grammar school
boys who would peer through
those windows of Alvarado’s
home. He was also the son of
Alvarado’s landlords in Makeni.
So, as Koroma prepared for a
March visit to Washington, D.C.,
for a meeting with President
Obama, and also to make a
speech at Peace Corps headquarters, he made a request to
see the woman he remembered
only as “Ms. Sharon.”
After a look into their
archives to see who was stationed in Makeni in the 1960s,
Peace Corps administrators
determined that the Sierra
Leone president was referring
to Alvarado. In late February,
the Key Largo retiree received
a call from Washington asking
if she’d be available to meet
Koroma before his speech on
March 27.
“It was very surprising,”
clists from driving up beside
him, the report says.
Durham then reportedly
drove in between the two
vehicles and brandished a
semi-automatic pistol in his
left hand, still trying to get
Moore to pull over, according to the report.
The officers were later
stopped at Mile Marker 107
entering Key Largo, reports
say.
Livoti said other witnesses
corroborate his clients’ statements.
“I think when all the evidence comes in, both deputies will be exonerated,”
Livoti said.
Livoti pointed to Sandra
Willis’ statements as contradictory.
“She gave two statements,” Livoti said. “One to
the Sheriff’s Office and then
one to the Highway Patrol
and she changed her story
regarding the weapon, how
she described the weapon
and remember, both these
deputies voluntarily allowed
themselves to be searched
and no weapons were
found.”
Miami-Dade County State
Attorney Office spokeswoman Terry Chavez confirmed
the trial was set for Tuesday,
but could not comment on
whether or not it would be
continued.
“I think there was a rush
to judgement in this case,”
Livoti said.
Livoti said he expected he
and prosecutors would jointly ask for the continuance.
Durham has been with the
Sheriff’s Office since August
2005, and Page since January
2007. Both men work as road
patrol deputies in the Upper
Keys and remain on duty
pending the criminal and
the separate internal affairs
investigation.
Neither deputy was taken to
jail the day of the incident.

Alvarado said of the invitation. “I had never met him.
But I knew the name, that
he was president. But I didn’t
associate the name with his
parents.”
She does remember Koroma’s
parents though, especially his
mother, who was an educator
herself. Alice Koroma, Alvarado
said, was like a “mother hen” to
her in Sierra Leone.
“She was always the one
coming over telling us to do the
right thing,” Alvarado recalled.
Lessons like that might
have served as a compass for
Alice’s son as well. For 24 years
Koroma pursued a career in
the insurance industry. But
in 2002, with Sierra Leone
emerging from a brutal 11year civil war that would be
famously depicted in the 2006
film “Blood Diamonds,” an
unknown Koroma decided to
enter the political fray. He won
the leadership of the opposition All People’s Congress party
in 2002. Then he took the party
into the majority in 2007, winning the presidency. Koroma
was re-elected in a landslide
last November.
During his meeting with
Obama on March 28, the
American president lauded
Koroma and his administration for presiding over free
elections in Sierra Leone and
for providing good governance
that has helped bring about
economic growth. Koroma has
also championed anti-corruption measures and focused on
improving the health-care system in the country of 6 million.

It also brought her closer to

said both his clients are innocent.
“The state has just provided
more video,” Livoti said. “They
believed they only had one video

Livoti said he expects the additional video to help his client’s
case in that the real culprit in
the case was another vehicle in
the road.
“The two individuals in the

with aggravated assault,” he
said referring to a white Dakota
pickup truck involved in the
incident.
According to an FHP incident
report, Durham and Page were
southbound on black Suzuki

tried to pass a white Dodge
truck driven by Brian Moore,
whose passenger was Sandra

Page allegedly passed the
truck on the outside as the
road turned into one lane, but
Durham was unable to pass
the truck.
Durham then reportedly
pulled up alongside the truck,
in the emergency lane, and
pointed at it to pull over. When
Moore refused, Durham allegedly kicked the passenger-side
door and sped off. Farther
south, at Mile Marker 122.5,
Moore saw Page and Durham
standing on an access road
before they got back on their
bikes and began to follow the
truck, the report says.

Truth catching up with
Obama administration
W
e wonder how the
election would
have turned out if
diplomat Gregory Hicks had
testified before Congress
about Benghazi last fall.
His dramatic testimony
to Congress on Wednesday
made clear the Obama
administration mishandled
the crisis from the start.
Once the tragic debacle
occurred, officials were
more concerned with damage control than the truth.
Republicans have been
making this accusation all
along, but Hicks was the
No. 2 U.S. official in Libya
at the time of the attacks
that killed U.S. Ambassador
Chris Stevens and three
other Americans. This is no
political hatchet job.
Quick decisions in frenzied situations are easy
to second guess. Even so,
Hicks’ chronicle puts the
administration, particularly
former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton, in a very
bad light.
Hicks believes the administration could have done
more to scare off the attackers. The military disputes
that, but there can be no
disputing that Hicks and
other Americans knew
almost immediately that
terrorists were behind the
Benghazi attack. It was not
a spontaneous reaction to
an anti-Muslim video, as
the administration originally claimed.
Hicks was in Tripoli the
night of Sept. 11 when
Stevens was killed. He said
Stevens called and told
him, “Greg, we’re under
attack.” Stevens and an aide
would soon be dead. Two
more Americans, former
SEALS working as security
contractors, were killed in
a second attack later that
night.
Hicks believes that second attack could have
been prevented if U.S. jets
had flown over Benghazi
to intimidate the terrorists. The Pentagon says
no planes were available.
Military officials also say
there was no time for a
security detail at Tripoli to
make it to Benghazi in time
to stop the attack.
Both matters deserve
more scrutiny. It is curious Americans would be
allowed in harm’s way in
such a volatile country
Editorial
without the nation being
prepared to come to their
aid.
More damming is Hicks’
testimony that he briefed
Secretary Clinton the night
of the killings, when it was
already evident terrorists
were behind the attack.
Yet United Nations
Ambassador Susan Rice was
still blaming an anti-Islam
video five days later on TV
interview shows.
Hicks told the House
Oversight and Government
Reform Committee that
when he heard Rice, “I was
stunned. My jaw dropped,
and I was embarrassed.”
And as The Wall Street
Journal points out, Clinton
later promised the father of
one of the victims that the
filmmaker would be arrested and prosecuted — when
she should have been fully
aware the video played no
role in the attacks.
This looks to be a cynical
and cruel deception.
Indeed, Hicks’ testimony
suggests Clinton’s agency
scrambled quickly to keep
the truth under wraps.
Hicks says State
Department brass ordered
him not to talk with a visiting Republican congressman (Rep. Jason Chaffetz of
Utah). When he did anyway,
he was dressed down by
Clinton’s chief of staff.
Now, Hicks says, he has
been essentially demoted to
a desk job, something the
department disputes.
Clinton’s fingerprints look
to be very close to — if not
all over — this disaster.
When questioned by
Congress last January about
when the administration
knew terrorists were behind
the attacks, Clinton disdainfully said, “What difference at this point does it
make?”
The truth always makes
a difference, particularly
when four Americans are
killed serving their country.
Congress should continue the investigation.
Americans may be forgiving
of any misjudgments during a night of chaos and
violence. They are unlikely
to be as tolerant of selfserving deceptions.

Started at the bottom, but not jaded by reality
BY DAVID BROOKS
The New York Times
N
ot long ago, I
devoted a column
to the mostly uppermiddle-class students at elite
universities — the empirical
kids. I thought it would be
interesting to devote a column to students who at least
started at the other end of
the social scale. So the [New
York] Times researcher Anne
Snyder and I interviewed
a bunch of young people
whom we had met earlier
through the Congressional
Hispanic Caucus
Institute.
Edgar Leon’s background was pretty
typical. Both his
parents immigrated
from Mexico. His
mom does janitorial work in Chicago,
while his dad commuted to Indiana to fix railroad lines.
These young people have
been shaped by their awesome life trajectories, from
poor neighborhoods, to college, to internships on Capitol
Hill. Cristi Privado is the last
of seven children and the only
one to graduate from high
school. Kimberly Lopez has
a brother and a sister who
dropped out of school in the
9th and 10th grades. Her sister got pregnant at 16. “I got
lucky,” Kimberly explained.
None of them had pressuring parents who organized
their children’s lives for suc-
cess. “College was more of an
encouragement in my home,
less a given,” Edgar recalled.
Almost all of them experienced a life-altering move
when they were teenagers.
Reuben Kapp benefited from
a school choice program that
enabled him to move from
an urban Michigan high
school to a suburban one.
“I’m a big believer in school
choice,” he said. “If it wasn’t
for choice, I wouldn’t be
here.”
Cristi’s parents took her
from a poorly performing
middle school and moved to
Greenville, S.C. At her
new school there, she
fell in with the smart
kids. She developed
a taste for country
music. She ended up
as class president.
She was not babied
in school. “Until I got
to D.C., I never heard
the word mentor. When I got
here, it seemed that everybody has one,” Cristi joked.
Like several of the others,
she was discouraged from
applying to a competitive college. Cristi said her guidance
counselor mentioned that her
own son had been rejected by
Clemson so Cristi shouldn’t
apply. “That made me definitely want to apply.”
In college and at internships, they found a new
world. “My mom and dad
always worked the third shift.
It dawned on me that some
people leave work at 5 p.m.,”
Edgar remembered.
Edgar lived at home while
going to DePaul, commuting
45 minutes each way. “I was
just going to class and going
to work,” he noted, uncomplainingly. Cristi’s father died
a month before graduation.
She had to finish the term
through her grief.
Most of the students had
some trouble gelling with the
whiter, richer student body in
college and hung out mostly
with fellow Hispanics. “We
love our culture,” said Reuben.
“That’s what makes our group
stronger and bonds us together.” Now they seem to flow
fluidly across cultural lines.
We met them as they were
finishing a stint as congressional staffers, often answering
the phones and hearing the
public rage about everything
from the sequester to immigration reform.
All of them have experienced culture shock in coming to Washington. Kimberly
observed, “I feel that here
people will do whatever it
takes to get to the top. It was
really overwhelming at the
beginning. Are they being sincere? I could never tell.” Edgar
echoed that: “Everyone is on a
mission. People are all about
networking. How can we use
each other to get what we
want? Maybe there’s a lack of
genuineness?”
Still, most wanted to stay
in politics. As Kimberly put
it: “I really want to go back to
Delaware and seek elective
office, whether it is local office
or national office. To be presi-
dent would be really cool.”
The economy has been bad
during their adult lives, but
they’ve been shooting upward.
Anne Snyder and I both came
away with the impression that
they have fewer anxieties than
the more affluent students or
empirical kids, less of a fear
that one false move can lead
to disaster.
They seemed both hardy
and a bit naive, made more
resilient by reality but not
jaded by it. Their conversational styles were enthusiastic,
grateful, direct and earnest.
They seemed to us un-selfconscious about how they
present themselves — unironic, matter of fact, sincere and
un-meta — not tripping in
loops of self-awareness. They
also have a less methodical
sense of the exact steps you
have to take to make it in the
world.
Their ambitions were perpetually sandwiched by their
affections. “I know people
who move across the country
for a job. They see their family
once or twice a year. I could
never do that,” Kimberly
remarked.
Without even being asked,
almost all of them burst into
rhapsodies about their country. “I love the United States,”
Reuben explained. “I have
a lot of pride in the United
States. I’m not a hockey fan,
but when the American team
is playing I go crazy.”

Pink line over Damascus — wait long enough and options disappear
BY CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER
The Washington Post
You know you’re in trouble
when you can’t even get your
walk-back story straight. Stung
by the worldwide derision that
met President Obama’s fudging and fumbling of his chemical-weapons red line in Syria,
the White House leaked to the
New York Times that Obama’s
initial statement had
been unprepared,
unscripted and therefore unserious.
The next day Jay
Carney said precisely
the opposite: “Red
line” was intended
and deliberate.
Which is it? Who
knows? Perhaps Obama used
the term last August to look
tough, sound like a real world
leader, never expecting Syria to
do something so crazy. He would
have it both ways: sound decisive but never have to deliver.
Or perhaps he thought that
Syria might actually use chemical weapons one day, at which
point he would think of something.
So far he’s thought of nothing. Instead he’s backed himself into a corner: Be forced
into a war he is firmly resolved
to avoid, or lose credibility, which for a superpower on
whose word relies the safety of
a dozen allies is not
just embarrassing but
dangerous.
In his recent rambling news conference, Obama said that
he needed certainty
about the crossing of
the red line to keep
the “international
community” behind him. This
is absurd. The “international
community” is a fiction, especially in Syria. Russia, Iran and
Hezbollah are calling the shots.
Nor, he averred, could he
act until he could be sure of
everything down to the “chain
of custody” of the sarin gas.
What
is
this?
“CSI:
Damascus”? It’s a savage civil
war. The antagonists don’t
exactly stand down for forensic
sampling.
Some countries have real
red lines. Israel has no friends
on either side of this regional
Sunni-Shiite conflict, but it will
not permit the alteration of its
strategic military balance with
Hezbollah, which is already
brimming with 60,000 rockets
aimed at Israel.
Everyone in the region knows
that the transfer of chemical weapons to Hezbollah or
the acquisition of the Fateh110 missile, with the accuracy
and range to hit the heart of
Tel Aviv, is a red line. Hence
the punishing Israeli airstrikes
around Damascus on advanced
weaponry making its way to
Hezbollah.
The risk to Israel is less a
counterattack from Damascus
than from Hezbollah. Bashar
al-Assad of Syria doesn’t need
a new front with Israel. Syria
remembers not just its thorough defeat at the hands of
Israel in 1967 and 1973 but also
its humiliation in the skies over
the Bekaa Valley in 1982 when
it challenged Israeli air dominance. In a two-day dogfight,
Israel shot down 60 Syrian
planes and lost none.
Israel’s real concern is a
Hezbollah attack. But Hezbollah
has already stretched itself thin
by sending fighters into Syria
to save Assad. And it knows
that war with Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu would be
far more devastating than its
2006 war with the tepid and
tentative Ehud Olmert.
Most important, Iran,
Hezbollah’s master, wants to
keep Hezbollah’s missile arsenal intact and in reserve for
retaliation against — and thus
deterrence of — a possible
Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear
program.
These are complicated,
inherently risky calculations.
But living in the midst of this
cauldron, Israel has no choice.
It must act.
America does have a choice.
It can afford to stay out. And at
this late date, it probably will.
Early in the war, before the
rise of the jihadists to dominance within the Syrian opposition, intervention might have
brought down Assad and produced a decent successor government friendly to America
and non-belligerent to its
neighbors.
Today our only hope seems
to be supporting and arming
Salim Idriss, the one rebel commander who speaks in moderate, tolerant tones. But he
could easily turn, or could be
overwhelmed by the jihadists.
As they say in the Middle East,
you don’t buy allies here. It’s
strictly a rental.
Israel’s successful strikes
around Damascus show that a
Western no-fly zone would not
require a massive Libyan-style
campaign to take out all Syrian
air defenses. Syrian helicopters
and planes could be grounded
more simply with attacks on
runways, depots and idle aircraft alone, carried out, if not
by fighters, by cruise missiles
and other standoff weaponry.
But even that may be too
much for a president who has
assured his country that the
tide of war is receding. At this
late date, supporting proxies
may be the only reasonable
option left. It’s perversely selfvindicating. Wait long enough,
and all other options disappear. As do red lines.

Oquendo
combat diver course.
Apparently, one of Oquendo’s
students had just arrived, and
made quite an entrance.
“I called the jail back and
told them to keep him overnight,” Oquendo said. “Let him
sit in there overnight.”
Oquendo’s smile grew as he
leaned his 43-year-old frame
over to tell the secret.
“This guy forgets his cell
phone on the plane — he’s on
a civilian plane and he tells the
airport people he has to get his
phone, but they tell him it’s too
late, so he takes it upon himself to go outside and jump the
barbed wire fence.”
The young commando
then ran to the plane and was
able to get inside, where he
found his prized cell phone,
but nearly scared the life out
of a flight attendant, Oquendo
explained.
“Then a bunch of deputies
tackled him and took him to
jail,” Oquendo went on. “If
he had been in California or
Miami, they probably would
have just shot him right there.”
As company sergeant major
and the senior enlisted advisor
to the commander, Oquendo is
the go-to man between the students as well as the instructors
and senior leadership. In military parlance, he leads from
the front. And the airport-commando arrest was a problem.
A few phone calls were made
and the soldier was allowed to
leave jail if he attended court
on time, then he had to stand
at attention before Oquendo in
the sergeant major’s office when
he was released from jail.
“He stayed in the course, but
I told him he had to complete
the training and do everything
the courts told him to do, no
excuses,” Oquendo said. “Later
we were in the day room with
all the plaques on the walls that
the graduating classes leave
behind and he was in there
late studying because he was
behind and he said, ‘You see
that class from 1978, sergeant
major? That’s my dad. I can’t
fail this course. I’m not going to
fail this course.’ And he didn’t.”
‘My job is to take care
of everybody’
That’s just one of the memories Oquendo will keep as he
leaves Key West after seven
years of making the Special
Forces Underwater Operations
School one of toughest gut
checks in the military that
now draws students from the
Reconnaissance Marines, Navy
SEALs, Air Force and even other
allied nations.
Oquendo or “Q” as he is
known to his fellow instructors and commanders will be
leaving May 21 for Fort Bragg,
the home of the Special Forces,
where he will be Special Forces
Assessment and Selection
course instructor.
In other words, he’s leaving
to build the next generation of
Special Forces soldiers.
Oquendo has spent a combined seven years in Key West
— between combat missions
overseas — making sure the
instructors’ wives are happy,
their children have no issues
easing into local schools, they
have housing and even coordinating social events for the
families.
He is tasked with that on
top of preparing instructors
to teach deadly and stealthy
marine warfare techniques.
Often times the latter is easier
than the former, Oquendo said
without a hint of sarcasm.
“It’s easy to put on a hat, sunglasses and the black T-shirt
and walk around pretending to
the be the man, but it’s a whole
other thing to walk the walk
and pull a guy aside who may
be having trouble at home and
is bringing it to work out here
and helping him,” Oquendo
said. “It is life and death out
here. And you have to be willing to help that instructor or
that student. Whomever. It can
be a stressful job. No doubt
about it.”
He was laughing again. The
Puerto Rico native grew up
in Homestead, one of eight
children, who now lives with
and cares for his 81-year-old
mother.
“My job is to take care of
everybody and that means 23
instructors and 13 support
staff,” he said. “My main con-
cern is always families.”
If not for Oquendo’s Special
Forces frame and Army bravado, an outsider might mistake
him for a humanitarian worker
or maybe even a high school
teacher.
“Q is invaluable, and I think
I speak for many others from
command staff on down,”
said school commander Maj.
Samuel Kline. “When it comes
to students, he doesn’t yell. He’s
very calm. He makes things
happen. That’s a great asset for
me as an officer.”
‘Rough and tough
Green Berets’
Combat divers are some of
the most respected commandos in Special Forces and the
unassuming property where
Fleming Key jettisons into the
shallow Gulf of Mexico houses
their school, considered the
toughest mental and physical
challenge in the Army. About
one in three students fail the
course.
The first Special Forces soldiers sent into Afghanistan
after 9/11 were all graduates
of the Key West school, Special
Forces Col. Alan Shumate said
during his visit to the school
in December. Oquendo has
been in the Special Forces for
20 years and he’s been in the
Army 24 years. He’s a veteran of
the first Gulf War and of the war
in Afghanistan.
He was an instructor from
1998 to 2002. He went to war in
Afghanistan and then returned
to Key West to serve at the dive
school from 2010 to the present.
Oquendo is one of the rare
Special Forces soldiers known
in their small fraternity as a
“Whisky 9,” meaning he is combat diver certified and highaltitude low opening (HALO)
parachute certified.
He patrolled the perimeter of
the dive school from the water
on Sept. 11, 2001 as news of the
attacks flashed across the base
radio.
“We didn’t have cable TV
then,’ Oquendo recalled. “We
didn’t have a security gate
either. I remember we were out
there on boats patrolling and
we didn’t even have weapons.”
He stopped to laugh again.
“We were like, ‘This is great,
a bunch of rough and tough
Green Berets patrolling with
no weapons!’ I have so many
memories here. I’m really going
to miss it.”
Thursday night Oquendo
was preparing a class of 10 students who are undergoing their
final exercise as combat diver
students. They used all the
knowledge over the last seven
weeks to infiltrate a fictional
nation on Geiger Key known
as — of course — the “Conch
Republic.”
The students will have to use
scuba skills to get to a secret
location while evading instructors who make up the “People’s
Army of the Conch Republic”
and locate their target, a per-
son of interest to the United
States who spoke only Spanish
and needed to be taken back to
their base on Fleming Key.
On Thursday night that
Spanish-speaking
person
known only as “Artero” was
played by Oquendo.
It will the last such exercise he will undergo as a dive
instructor in Key West. The
students were preparing their
Zodiac inflatable boats while
elsewhere on base the sergeant
major donned a foreign looking flight suit.
The students don’t know
their sergeant major will
be playing the role of
“Artero.”
“They’re always surprised,”
he said, grinning. “It adds a
little stress to the exercise.”
As for Oquendo, he figures in
another two years he will have
put in enough time serving his
country and retire. And after
that?
“I’m going to be the best
Wal-Mart greeter in the world,”
he said laughing. “No, I was
thinking about being an ROTC
(Reserve Officers’ Training
Corps) at a college. I think I’d
really enjoy that.”
As Oquendo finished the
sentence a gang of camouflaged commandos zipped
from the docks in Zodiacs and
he jumped in a van headed for
the “Conch Republic” as the
sun set.
“We like to work in the dark,”
the sergeant major said.

Coroner IDs 3 of 4 victims

The three women allegedly imprisoned and sexually abused for years
inside a padlocked Cleveland house
asked for privacy Sunday, saying
through an attorney that while they
are grateful for overwhelming support,
they also need time to heal.
Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and
Michelle Knight remain in seclusion,
releasing their first statements since
they were found May 6.
They thanked law enforcement and
said they were grateful for the support
of family and the community.
“I am so happy to be home, and I
want to thank everybody for all your
prayers,” DeJesus said in a statement
read by an attorney. “I just want time
now to be with my family.”
A southern Indiana man returning home
from work found two people shot to death
in the living room, and investigators found
two other bodies inside, authorities said
Sunday.
Bartholomew County Sheriff Mark Gorbett
said three men were found dead in the living

was found in a bedroom of the home in
Waynesville, a small unincorporated town
about 50 miles south of Indianapolis.
All four were shot to death, County
Coroner Larry Fisher said.
“We still have crime scene techs and criminal investigators at the scene and anticipate
them being there for quite a length of time,”
Gorbett said. “We are following up on all
leads at this point and we have no one in
custody at this time.”

posted more than 150 photos on
a private Facebook page titled
“graffiti.” He agreed to share them
online with undercover detective
who tracked down dozens that
carried the unique tag, “HOKES.”
Todakonzie’s recognition landed him in the Davis County Jail on
Thursday for investigation of several counts of criminal mischief

2 bodies found, suspect killed after NJ standoff
TRENTON, N.J. — A registered sex offender who barricaded himself for days in a
home with his girlfriend’s three
children was shot to death
Sunday as police rescued the
captives and recovered the bodies of their mother and another
sibling, authorities said.
Police officers initially went
to the South Trenton home
Friday afternoon after a relative of 44-year-old Carmelita
Stevens said she hadn’t spoken to her in weeks and was
worried, authorities said at a
news conference Sunday. Upon
further investigation, authorities then discovered her children hadn’t been to school in
12 days.
Officers entered the home
through a rear door and smelled
an odor consistent with that of a
decomposing body,Trenton Police
Director Ralph Rivera Jr. said. The
officers also noticed maggots
throughout the residence.
They found 38-year-old

Prosecutor Joseph L. Bocchini Jr., answers questions.
in an upstairs bedroom and he
told them he was armed with
a gun and explosives and had
three children with him, Mercer
County Prosecutor Joseph
L. Bocchini Jr. said. Officers
noticed one of the dead victims before they retreated from
the second floor and rescued
Stevens’ 19-year-old son from
the basement, who said he
hadn’t seen her or his siblings
since about April 24.
Homes on the surrounding
block were evacuated as a precaution, and police tape cordoned off the street in front of
the house. A SWAT team was
called, and an arson bomb unit
was also on the scene. Police
said Murphy could be seen
from a window holding a black
handgun.
Police remained in contact
with Murphy throughout the
37-hour-long standoff and
passed food into the home
through an upstairs window,
state police Col. Rick Fuentes
said. Murphy kept the captives
with him inside the roughly
10-foot-by-11-foot bedroom
throughout the standoff,
authorities said.
Officers stormed the home at
around 3:45 a.m. Sunday after
noting Murphy’s “deteriorating
state of mind” and deciding it
was necessary to enter to help
ensure the captives survived,
Fuentes said. An officer shot
Murphy because he was threatening one of the children, he
said.
Murphy was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries. No law enforcement personnel were injured during the
standoff or the confrontation
with Murphy.
“This was a very complex
matter, considering the space
(where the hostages were)
and that three children were
involved,” Fuentes said. “Our
mission over those 37 hours
was to save innocent lives.”
Authorities found the bodies of
Stevens and her 13-year-old son
in separate bedrooms. Stevens’
body was in an advanced state
of decomposition, and police
said she appeared to have died
two weeks ago. Police didn’t say
which of the bodies they had
seen inside the home Friday
afternoon.
Three of Stevens’ children
— an 18-year-old woman, a 16year-old girl and a 4-year-old
boy — were rescued and taken
to a medical center for evaluation and treatment. Murphy
had abused and assaulted the
captives, Bocchini said.
Murphy and Stevens
had been dating for a few
months, and both lived in
the house, police said. He
was not the father of any of
her children.

Bye Bye Birdie!!
Mom: Accused boy ‘could never’ hurt sister
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif.
— The mother of an 8-yearold girl who was found stabbed
to death in her Northern
California home and of the 12year-old boy accused of killing
her describes the boy as “protective of his sister.”
In an interview with
Sacramento television station KOVR on Friday, Priscilla
Rodriquez said her son “could
never hurt his sister.”
The boy — who has not
been named by authorities
— was arrested Saturday. He
will be charged with homicide,
Calaveras County Sheriff Gary
Kuntz said.
In the interview, Rodriquez
said, “I know my son could
never hurt his sister.
“They never used to fight
when they were little,” she
said.
Rodriquez told the station
that a bitter custody battle had
driven a wedge between her
and the children’s father.
The April 27 attack on Leila
Fowler shook the tightknit
Valley Springs community of
about 7,400 people and set off
a massive manhunt.
Investigators did a door-todoor sweep of homes, storage
sheds and horse stables scattered across the oak-studded
foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
Divers also searched two nearby reservoirs in search of clues.
After hearing Leila’s brother
had been arrested, residents
were in disbelief.
“I did not want to believe
it. You kind of thought so, but
it’s not something you want
to believe,” Tammy Ainsworth
told Sacramento’s KCRA-TV.
By Sunday, investigators had
released few details of the arrest
and did not return calls from
The Associated Press seeking
details of what led them to
arrest the boy.
The boy had told police he
found his sister’s body and
encountered an intruder in the
home while their father and
stepmother were at a Little
League game. He described the
man as being tall with long gray
hair. But afterward, police said
there was no sign of a burglary
or robbery.
A neighbor told detectives
she saw a man flee the home,
but she later recanted the
story and was discredited by
police.
As part of the investigation,
authorities seized several knives
from the Fowler home, where
Leila lived with her father, stepmother and siblings.

ing to a police report released
this week.
While Donney, 36, went to
jail on a count of felony child
abuse that same night, Howe
required an airlift to a Miami
hospital after receiving treatment at Lower Keys Medical
Center for her hand.
Howe, 32, was arrested
April 26, after police obtained
a warrant signed by Judge
Peary Fowler with a bond of
$25,000, the report said.
Both parents are now
charged with endangering
their baby, who was strapped
into a highchair in the living
room — and in the “direct
line of sight” when the gun
was fired, police reported.
“Donney and Howe both
engaged in reckless behavior which could have resulted
in physical or mental harm
to the 11-month-old child,”
Officer Matthew Haley wrote
in the supplemental report.
The couple’s son, who
turned 1 on April 30, remains
in the custody of the Florida
Department of Children and
Families, police said.
Haley’s latest three-page
report describes in graphic
detail the couple’s argument
that preceded the gunshot at
1515 Florida St. The report
states that Donney had four
video clips in his cellphone of
his girlfriend lying passed out
on her bedroom floor.
Police arrived about 8 p.m.
that Sunday night, March 24,
to find Donney outside the
Midtown house and a topless Howe at a window inside
saying she had been shot, the
report said.
The report also concludes
ALL ABOARD
s
Police, however, described
the videos as Donney goading Howe into a fight.
“You can hear Donney
antagonizing Howe in the
video wanting to talk about
their relationship,” Haley
wrote. “In the video you
could see that Howe just
wanted to go to sleep. In the
video, you can hear Donney
say something like, ‘Look at
Mommy. Here is Mommy,’
and you can hear baby chatter of a child.”
Donney told police that
Howe punched him in the
stomach and pushed him
out of her room, shutting
the door, and that he was in
the living room with his boy
when she emerged from the
bedroom holding the revolver, which she raised at him,
the report said.
But Donney had also said
that night the gunshot went
off in Howe’s bedroom.
Physical evidence, including tests for gunshot residue, show that Howe fired
the weapon while on her bed
mattress, the report said.
“Howe had powder burns
on the inside palm of her left
hand,” Haley wrote. The gun
was found beneath a dresser
in the bedroom, “approximately five feet away from
the location where it was
discharged.”
At the Stock Island hospital, Howe said she had
“probably shot” herself, but
changed her story a number
of times, the latest police
report said.
“She shot herself, Donney
shot her, she doesn’t know
how she was shot and
Donney helped her load the
weapon,” Haley listed in the
report released Tuesday.
[email protected]
that
the
.38-caliber
gunshot
was fired in
Howe’s bedroom, citing powder
burns on her
Donney
mattress.
“The distance from where
the child was located to
where the firearm was discharged was approximately
20 feet or closer depending
on the inconsistent statements provided by Howe and
Donney of the exact location
of where the child was in
relation to the discharge of
a firearm.”
Earlier that day, the family had attended the free air
show at the Naval Air Station
Key West.
“They were engaged in
drinking and using narcotics
while watching the air show,”
the report said. “The child
was with them during this
time.”
The couple began arguing on the way home, police
reported, and Donney said he
made Howe pull over at one
point because she was driving “erratically.”
“Donney left his child in
the care of Howe even though
he was concerned for his own
safety when he was riding
in the car with her,” Haley
wrote.
Donney said he arrived
home to find Howe passed
out on the floor by the front
door with the child sitting
next to her, and that he woke
her up and she went into her
room.
Donney told officers at
the scene that night he videotaped Howe “for custody
issues later on that may
occur,” the report said.

Slyke homered, leading Los Angeles to
a 5-3 victory over Miami. Capuano (1-2)
allowed a run and five hits in 61⁄3 innings
with seven strikeouts and one walk. The
left-hander started against the Marlins for
the first time since last Aug. 12, when he
threw eight innings of two-hit ball in a 5-0
win at Miami.
Federer, Murray: no problem
for gay tennis players
ROME — Roger Federer and Andy Murray
believe there would be no problem if a men’s
tennis player comes out as gay.
The second- and third-ranked players were
asked about the possibility Sunday at the
Italian Open after NBA veteran Jason Collins
recently became the first active player in any of
the four major U.S. professional sports leagues
to come out.
“I don’t think it would be a problem,” Federer
said. “We’re very relaxed. We don’t play a team
sport and see each other all the time. ... We’re
very open. So whatever happens, happens. I
don’t know if there are any. So far from what
I’ve heard, no. But that could change, possibly
because of the case in the NBA.”
Report: Boogaard family
sues NHL for son’s death
The New York Times is reporting that Derek
Boogaard’s family has filed a wrongful-death
lawsuit against the National Hockey League.
In the lawsuit, the family says the NHL
is responsible for the brain damage that
Boogaard sustained during six seasons as an
enforcer in the league, and for his addiction to
prescription painkillers.
Boogaard was found dead of an accidental
overdose of pain medication and alcohol on
May 13, 2011. He was 28. He was posthumously diagnosed with chronic traumatic
encephalopathy, a degenerative brain ailment
that is caused by repeated blows to the head.
The Times reports the suit was filed late
Friday by the Chicago law firm of Corboy &
Demetrio, in the Circuit Court of Cook County.
KEY WEST — It was a physical
week with a lot of bumps and bruises for the Key West High School
football team during Spring Drills.
Second year coach Johnny
Hughes said it takes a toll especially
with about 40 players consistently
showing up for practice.
“If we had 85 or 90 it would be a
little different. With 40 it ends up
taking a toll on you, but the same
core of people is showing up,” said
Hughes. “They’ve been pretty consistent.”
Hughes said they are working on
a simple playbook over the spring
building up to the fall season.
“We’ll go in with five or six running plays and four and five passing
plays and that’s all we want to install
during the spring so we can perfect
that,” explained Hughes. “Obviously
we run the triple and a few different options off that like a couple of
counter plays and out sweep play.
These plays will set up the offense
that we’ll install in the fall.”
The coach said one of the three
players vying for the quarterback
position has stepped up to fill the
shoes of graduating quarterback
Donald. Roberts
“I’d have to say Andrew (Freeman)
is in front right now. We look better
when he’s in there,” Hughes said.
“Trevor (Pike) is coming along. He
didn’t have much football experience which has not helped him but
he’s shown some flashes.”
Regardless of who runs the team,
Hughes said they need to get more
efficient on offense.
“They all misread at times and
they all get the reads at times,” he
said. “We want to go from about 60
percent to about 80 percent correct
on the reads.”
Hughes said things are on track
for the Spring Game, May 24 against
Fort Pierce Westwood.
“This is the first time they’ve seen
the live read coming at them. As
the week went on the reads got
better which is what we expected,”
expounded the coach. “Still, we’re
ahead of where we were last year
as far as quarterbacks picking the
reads up. That’s a plus. The running
backs, are obviously, much further
along than last year. Now, we’re not
as sharp as we were at the end of
last year but that’s to be expected
losing players to graduation and
transfers.”
Over the next 11 days of drills,
Hughes said they will practice

Hurricanes must look to rebuild
with only four returning starters
BY ERIC BASS
Citizen Staff
TAVERNIER — Every spring the sound of
pads hitting and coaches barking instructions to their players can be heard all around
high school campuses in the state of Florida.
In Tavernier, on the fields at Coral Shores
High School the scene is no different.
The Hurricanes lined up last week to start
their spring practice sessions. Like all schools
the football coaches are assessing what they
have right now. They are hoping to get some
idea on how they may fill positions when the
regular season starts this fall.
“We lost a lot of starters and every position is
open,” Coral Shores coach Ed Holly said before
spring practice started. “What we have going for
us is our players understand our system going
into the third year so we can concentrate more
on teaching the game and getting better every
day.”
The Hurricanes were a 6–4 team last year
and have just two starters returning on defense
“What we have going for us is
our players understand our
system going into the third
year so we can concentrate

and getting better every

Tiger keeps it dry and wins
BY DOUG FERGUSON
PONTE VEDRA BEACH — Tiger
Woods had the last word against
Sergio Garcia by winning The Players
Championship on Sunday.
Woods ended a weekend of testy
words with Garcia by doing what
he does best — closing out tournaments, even if he let this one turn
into a tense duel over the final hour
at the TPC Sawgrass. Tied with Garcia
with two holes to play, Woods won
by finding land on the last two holes
for par to close with a 2-under 70.
If only it were that simple for the
Spaniard.
Garcia was standing on the 17th
tee shot, staring across the water to
an island as Woods made his par. He
took aim at the flag with his wedge
and hung his head when he saw the
ball splash down short of the green.
Then, Garcia hit another one in the
water on his way to a quadruplebogey 7. He completed his stunning
collapse by hitting his tee shot into
the water on the 18th and making
double bogey.
Woods was in the scoring trailer
when he watched on TV as Swedish
rookie David Lingmerth missed a long
birdie putt that would have forced
a playoff. It raced by the cup, and
Lingmerth three-putted for bogey.
“How about that?” Woods said to
his caddie, Joe LaCava as he gave
him a hug.
Woods won The Players for the
first time since 2001 and joined Fred
Couples, Davis Love III and Steve
Elkington as the only two-time winners at the TPC Sawgrass. It was his
78th career win on the PGA Tour,
four short of the record held by Sam
Snead.
Lingmerth closed with a 72 and
finished two shots behind along
with Kevin Streelman (67) and Jeff

NBA PLAYOFFS: MIAMI AT CHICAGO; GAME 4 AT 7 P.M.
Serena, Nadal

LeBron shrugs off
flopping accusations
BY ANDREW SELIGMAN
CHICAGO — The suggestion that he’s
a flopper drew a grin as wide as his wingspan from LeBron James.
Miami’s superstar shot down the accusations from the Chicago Bulls, saying
they reminded him of the days when some
claimed he was overrated and questioned
his ability to lead a team to a championship.
“It’s kind of the same (as when) I heard
people say I was overrated,” he said Sunday.
“It’s kind of like the same response.”
The Heat are trying to repeat as champions after a dominant regular season,
and if they keep this up, they won’t have to
worry about Chicago much longer. Game
4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals is
tonight, and Miami has a chance to take
a 3-1 lead in a series with no shortage of
hard fouls, technicals, ejections and fines.
One thing in short supply is healthy bodies
for the Bulls, with Luol Deng still recovering from a spinal tap and Kirk Hinrich
from a bruised left calf. The odds that
either would play seemed slim at best on
Sunday.
Meanwhile, coach Tom Thibodeau’s
wallet is a little lighter after the league
smacked him with a $35,000 fine on
Sunday.
That hit came after he accused James
of flopping on that shove to the floor and
questioned the officiating after the Heat
took Game 3, saying the Bulls weren’t going
to get the benefit of the calls. Thibodeau
had already addressed the media by the
time the punishment was announced
and declined comment through a team
spokesman.
Yet there was still plenty of talk about that
incident between James and Mohammed.
Joakim Noah had already shoved
Miami’s Chris Andersen after he landed
on a driving Nate Robinson late in the
first quarter, and things nearly boiled over
early in the second.
With James dribbling near midcourt,
Mohammed reached in to take a foul and
stop a potential break. Their arms got tangled. Mohammed fell, and when he got up,
he gave James a hard shove to the court.
Both players picked up technicals.
Mohammed got tossed, making him the
third Bulls player to get ejected in the
series along with Noah and Taj Gibson.
“I don’t need to flop,” James said. “I play
an aggressive game. I don’t flop. I’ve never
Garcia took 13 shots to cover

been one of those guys.”
It’s probably worth noting that James
accused the Bulls of crossing the line a
few times back in late March, when they
beat Miami at the United Center to snap
Miami’s 27-game win streak.
“What I said is what I said, but I don’t
want to get involved too much with what
everybody else says about us, about me,”
he said. “It’s nothing I haven’t heard before
in my career. It’s nothing. ... I’m here to
play basketball and do whatever it takes
for our team to win. So what a coach and
players say to me and about me, I don’t
really care.”
dropping him into a four-way
tie with Garcia, Maggert and
Lingmerth. The final two holes
came down to Garcia and
Woods, most appropriate given
their public sniping at each
other this weekend.

Hurricanes
school and get in a light workout on
Saturday.
“The following week we only have
three days of practice. We’ll do a
walk-through on Thursday and play.
We’re looking at seven or eight days
of pads left and then the game which
is always the scary part,” chuckled Hughes. “The good thing is we’ll
get some game film on them and
actually show them their mistakes
instead of what they see in their
mind’s eye, which is not always the
correct thing.”

the offensive line. Dunn at halfback is the
lone starting back coming to play for the
Hurricanes this spring. He had some excellent performances last year and the ’Canes
will rely on his ability again this year to
carry the rushing duties.
At quarter back Holly has stated that
“Everyone wants to know who our starting
quarterback will be and I can only say I have
no idea right now.” Two players the coaching staff will be looking at are sophomore
Nick Frisone and a junior Austin Seibolt,
both saw JV action last year at the position.
Right now, however, every starting spot on
the roster is open for anyone to win.
TENNIS
When they finished the
storm-delayed third round
Sunday morning, Garcia kept
at it, saying that Woods is “not
the nicest guy on tour.”
Woods had the last laugh. He
had the trophy.
As far as turnout, the ’Canes are looking at
about 24 players participating in spring drills
and have 22 positions to find starters who can
stay on the field. As it is with the Hurricanes,
with limited numbers they will be working
hard and smart to get the most out of every
player they have. Holly and his staff have
done a very good job the last two years bringing the Hurricanes’ program back from some
pretty lean years in the win column.
Spring practice ends with the Spring
Jamboree game held on Thursday, May 23
at Marathon High School where three teams
including Doral Academy, the Hurricanes
and Dolphins will each play one another in
a three two quarter game format. From the
competition in Marathon the Hurricanes
will have a better idea what they will have
for a football team in the fall.
MADRID — Serena Williams
kept the No. 1, and added No.
50.
Williams
beat
Maria
Sharapova, 6-1, 6-4, in the final
of the Madrid Open Sunday to
retain her No. 1 ranking and
collect her 50th career title,
while Rafael Nadal eased by
Stanislas Wawrinka, 6-2, 6-4,
for his fifth title since returning from a knee injury.
The
second-ranked
Sharapova would have overtaken the top ranking with a
win, but Williams stormed out
to an early lead as Sharapova
struggled with her serve.
Despite Sharapova briefly
recovering her poise in the
second set, Williams’ form
never dipped as she eased
to the title.
“It feels good,”
Williams said
about winning
her 50th title.
“I don’t know
how many more
I can win. Who
knows if I will
ever win
another
title?
I
just want
to live the
dream. Hopefully, I can keep
it going.
“When you first start out
everything is so exciting. Now
I expect to win.”
Williams improved her
record against Sharapova to
13-2, with her only two losses
coming in 2004.
The 31-year-old Williams,
playing in her first red clay
final since 2002, dominated
Sharapova from the start as
the Russian never managed to
steady her erratic serve.
Nadal flopped on his back
and screamed in joy
when his Swiss opponent’s final volley
fell long to end the
match in one hour
and 12 minutes.
It was Nadal’s seventh straight final
since recovering from
a nagging case of tendinitis in his left knee
that sidelined him
for seven months.
“I’m very happy
and maybe this victory is even more
special considering
how complicated this year has
been,” said Nadal.
“This tournament
couldn’t have gone
better for me.”

STAYMAN HAS ITS
VARIOUS USES
By Phillip Alder
When beginners learn
bridge, they are usually
taught two bidding conventions: Blackwood and
Stayman. They might also
learn transfers into the
majors, a complement of
Stayman.
This week, let’s look at
Stayman in its simplest form
and in its extensions.
Interestingly, Stayman
was not invented by Sam
Stayman, but by his then
bridge partner, George
Rapee. But Stayman wrote
the first article published
on the convention, and his
name stuck. (It was independently devised by Jack
Marx from England.)
The basic use of Stayman
is to find a 4-4 fit in a major
suit. Remember, in notrump, a 4-4 fit will produce
at most four tricks. But if
that suit is trumps, you will
often generate an extra winner by ruffing a loser. (And
on a cloudless day, you will
gain eight tricks from the
suit.)
Opener bids one notrump,andresponderreplies
two clubs. If the opener has
one four-card major, he bids
two of that suit. If he has two
four-card majors, he rebids
two hearts. And if he has no
four-card major, he answers
two diamonds. Then the
responder judges what to do
next.
In today’s example, North
uses Stayman despite his
poor suit to try to find a 4-4
spade fit. When successful,
he raises to game.
West leads the heart king.
This deal is easy if the
trumps are 3-2. Win the
first trick, cash the two top
trumps, and drive out the
club ace. Here, South loses
only three tricks: one spade,
one heart and one club.
Finally, observe that three
no-trump should be defeated after the heart-king lead.

GROOM, NOT THE BRIDE, IS UNDER
PRESSURE TO CHANGE HIS NAME
DEAR ABBY: My wife’s niece is
marrying a wonderful man of Greek
descent this summer. Her grandfather
insists that his last name is too long and
impossible to pronounce. He thinks
they need to change the name when
they marry. He went so far as to
make them call him so he could
tell them what he wanted. Then
he gave them 10 days to “think
about it” and call him back with
their answer.
He told the mother of the
bride that if they don’t change
the name, then he’s “just not
into the wedding anymore,”
implying that he won’t help them
pay for the event. Needless to
say, this has most of the family
shaking their heads and thinking the
old man has finally lost it.
shortened or changed their names for
that reason.
I sincerely hope no one is expecting
Granddad to pay for the upcoming
wedding. That he would attempt to
blackmail the young couple in this way
is shameful. Let’s hope they are
mature enough to ignore him,
and that they have a long and
happy life together. Opa!
DEAR ABBY: Our youngest
daughter will graduate from
college next month. The school
is 10 hours away by car or a 2
1/2-hour plane ride. There are
no direct flights.
My husband and I are excited
about this special day, and so
is his 82-year-old mother. (I’ll call her
Ethel.) She mentioned yesterday that
she’s excited to go.
We understand that this was
common practice for families passing
through Ellis Island coming to America
a century ago, but have you ever heard
of this being done for a wedding? Being
a therapist, I thought I’d seen and heard
it all -- until now. Please give us some
insight. I’m hoping his “ladyfriend” will
read your reply and share it with him.
-- CAN’T BELIEVE IT DOWN SOUTH
Abby, Ethel is not a well woman. She
has trouble walking, falls occasionally
and hasn’t been out of this town for
30 years. She is also hypercritical. She
does nothing but complain about other
people, her health, this country, etc.
Looking after her would be a huge
burden.
DEAR CAN’T BELIEVE IT: You have
described a man who is used to being
in control and is not above using his
money to manipulate. A century ago
when people came to this country
through Ellis Island, many of them were
escaping discrimination and wanted to
leave their past behind them, which is
why they Americanized their names.
Others had it done “for” them by
government officials who couldn’t
understand
them
when
they
pronounced their names and wrote
down what they thought they heard.
(Years ago, in Sioux City, Iowa, my
mother knew two brothers who walked
through different lines and wound
up with the names “Ginsberg” and
“Landsberg.” I don’t know which was
correct.) Still others were so eager
to become “Americans” that they
We’d like to attend this milestone
event without the added stress of
taking care of her. My husband and I
have been married 25 years, and Ethel
still complains about me. Because she’s
such a handful, we have never taken
her to dinner or a movie. How do we
(kindly) tell her that what she has in
mind is not going to be possible? - READY TO CELEBRATE IN SAN
DIEGO
DEAR READY TO CELEBRATE:
You and your husband should tell his
mother that graduations in the best
of circumstances are stressful events
and can be difficult for someone who
is unsteady on her feet. You could also
mention that seating is limited, because
it often is at graduations. Then offer to
videotape the ceremony so she doesn’t
have to miss it.
