Comitato No Grandi Navi — which loosely translates to “the committee for no big ships” — in Venice and the Key West Committee for Responsible Tourism issued a joint statement Sunday, saying larger cruise ships not only negatively impact the natural environment of the two iconic port cities but wreck the visitor experience. “The scale of the vessels far exceeds anything that these historic ports were built to accommodate and their sheer size overwhelms the historic setting, diminishing the visual appeal and sense of place,” the formal statement said. “They are experiencing the same things we are,” said Jolly Benson, of the Committee for Responsible Tourism. “We reached out to them and they agreed to form an allegiance with us.

A little girl was bitten by a nurse shark at the Key West Aquarium on Sunday but was not seriously injured, according to local reports. “I heard a bunch of commotion, turned around and saw a man that I’m assuming was the father, holding the girl and pulling her away from the tank,” said Rose Horn, of Ramrod Key, who was visiting the Old Town attraction with her husband, flats guide Sandy Horn, and their two children at about 2 p.m. Sunday. The girl was taken from the aquarium, 1 Whitehead St., to Lower Keys Medical Center where she was treated for minor injuries and released, said Care Ambulance supervisor Dave Erwin and hospital spokesman Randy Detrick. No police report ws taken of the incident, said city spokeswoman Alyson Crean.

Some of the comments will be published daily. “I don’t live in Key West to be bored.” “Mr. Atwell, regarding the Peary Court development: It’s fine and dandy that you’re going to leave the fence up along Angela Street and omit those parking spaces but I do not like that cistern up on legs. You put that up there and it’s going to be a great big eye sore.” “I’m sure Southeast Housing settled the taxes for pennies on the dollar.” “I’d like to see Governor Chris Christie as our president. I have a lot of admiration for him. He’s not afraid of anybody and he speaks his mind and he’s honest. He may be slightly overweight but I’m not perfect either. ” “I enjoy reading Citizens Voice but please leave it to one column. A lot of people enjoy Key West history, please leave that. And of course leave the crime report because that’s new history.” “It looks like former City Commissioner Harry Powell was exactly right: The military did not need additional housing in Peary Court. What they did need was to raze Peary Court, the last green space in Key West, and engage in housing speculation which today’s headline proves is exactly what they have done.” “It’s time for the taxpayers of Monroe County to take away the County Commission’s ability to spend tax dollars on buying real estate and such things without a popular vote of the people. I hate to say it, but it’s become clear Key West had the right idea years ago by restricting their commission’s spending.” “Just calling about the taxi cabs in Old Town speeding. You ought to see North Roosevelt Boulevard between 6:30 and 7 in the morning. I go to work every morning at 6:30 on my moped and there are cars passing me at 50, 60 miles an hour every morning from Mariner’s Cove to where I work. They need some cops out there.” “I would be happy to get ‘tags and insurance’ for my bicycle if the police promised to enforce zero tolerance of motorists who don’t signal, or who open their trafficside doors without checking for passing bikes. I have almost been injured or killed too many times.” “I have a dream that everyone will have access to a college education without incurring huge debt. I have a dream that all will have access to health care, regardless of economic circumstances. I have a dream of a woman being president. I have many other dreams that, strangely enough, have been realized in other countries.” “So it’s $85,000 to lease a drone that can detect mosquitoes in ‘inaccessible areas’? What do you think lives and thrives in those areas? Mosquito-eating birds and bats! It’s not bad enough Mosquito Control is decimating butterflies, bees and other essential pollinating insects, now this.” “Cities across the country are banning single-use plastic bags. Of course in Florida, lobbyists prevent us from doing that, but we can pass a city ordinance and start charging 10 cents a bag.” 358237 KEY WEST 5-DAY FORECAST South Roosevelt Boulevard and Smathers Beach are pictured here, circa 1980, in an image that belongs to the Dale McDonald Collection.

A 68-year-old homeless man was found dead Monday afternoon in Memorial Park, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. The body was discovered by a man riding a scooter south on U.S. 1 at 12:30 p.m., said office spokeswoman Deputy Becky Herrin. Detectives identified the body but would not release the name Tuesday, saying they were trying to first notify his family. There were no obvious signs of criminal activity and detectives believe the man died of natural causes. An autopsy was ordered to determine cause of death, Herrin said. A 65-year-old Orlando diver died Monday, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Deputies responded to Dolphin Marina on Little Torch Key at 6:15 p.m. as the diver was being brought in by Tow Boat US. Workers performed CPR on the man en route to the marina, reports say. But once ashore, he was taken to Fishermen’s Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

OBITUARIES Continued from Page 1A mouth up to her elbow,” she said. “Basically, the whole girl’s arm was in the shark’s mouth and most of the shark was out of the water.” Horn described the girl as about 3 years old, but no younger than two. The toddler was near the large pool-like aquarium that houses nurse sharks as well as sandbar and bonnethead sharks. Not wanting their own children, ages 1 and 3, to view the scene once the girl was bitten, the Horns hurried out of the aquarium. Historic Tours of America (HTA) owns and operates the aquarium. Two messages left with HTA’s CEO Chris Belland were not returned Tuesday. The Key West Aquarium website states visitors can touch juvenile nurse sharks on the tail after employees feed them, but it was unclear what happened or what preceded the incident Sunday. “I’ve been there a bunch of times and I’ve never heard of this happening,” Sandy Horn said. But, he added, “nurse sharks can bite and I think people forget that.” Nurse sharks are bottomdwelling fish not known for aggressive behavior and are often seen by divers on the reef, said University of Miami marine biologist Neil Hammerschlag. Hammerschlag, whose research is available at sharktagging.com, spoke to The Citizen Tuesday about nurse shark behavior in general. Nurse sharks typically bite humans only when provoked, Hammerschlag said. “They swallow prey whole by latching on and sucking fish in,” he said. Nurse sharks, like most other sharks, feed on dead fish that turn white in the water. The white flash of human flesh can incorrectly trigger a feeding instinct in sharks, which is why he wears all black Neoprene while doing research, Hammerschlag said. “That reaction is not outside the realm of possibility,” Hammerschlag said.

CLARIN/PUBLISHER RALPH MORROW/SPORTS EDITOR THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2013 NANCY SCHMOHL BECKWITH ROBERT CINTRON JR. KEN DOMANSKI SHIRLEY FREEMAN TODD GERMAN OPINION King and Lincoln, the same message of hope uch of last week was spent with the nation remembering the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivering one of the most important and influential speeches in American history. It also brought to mind another great American speech, one made by President Abraham Lincoln 150 years ago. King opened his oratory 50 years ago by recognizing that he stood in the “symbolic shadow” of the national memorial honoring Lincoln, whose issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation — 100 years earlier — had finally given hope to “millions of Negro slaves.” The shadow of Lincoln was more than symbolic: Like King, the 16th president relied upon America’s most revered document — the Declaration of Independence — to make the case for equality. At a stark Civil War battlefield in Gettysburg in November 1863, Lincoln opened his address with the proposition that the nation’s founders “brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” In so doing, Lincoln drew the embarrassing distinction between American practice and principle, as King would do a century later. “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal,’ ” King declared. The speeches by King and Lincoln were dramatically different in style, delivery and length. The Gettysburg Address was tightly written at 272 words and delivered solemnly. But it had the same core meaning and employed similar methods of persuasion — including biblical inspiration — as King’s fiery, 1,600word speech in 1963. M Editorial The two speeches, consigned to history books and archives, are seldom read in their entirety by most Americans — except, perhaps, on the anniversaries of their delivery. Yet the passage of time — whether 50 or 150 years — has not diminished their importance and relevance. King’s sermon was not only an oratorical success, but a brave call for a nonviolent venture to the promised land. King’s exhortation of dreams was set in the context of a civil rights movement aimed at dismantling discrimination codified in law and solidified by society. But King’s speech resonates today, not only because it led to legal and social progress, but because it reflects the American dream — the belief that freedom and equality are rights belonging to everyone in our nation, regardless of race, religion and gender. Reading and listening to his words today, we are reminded that the roots of the American dream must be nurtured by every generation. Unfortunately, not everyone embraced King’s message and shared his vision. Even today, too many Americans are divided rather than united in pursuit of the common good; too many of our people are subject to discrimination in its many forms. Continuing the quest for equality does not disregard the progress that has been made or the challenges that lie ahead. “There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, ‘When will you be satisfied?’ ” King asked rhetorically. The answer today is the same as it was 50 years ago or 150 years ago. “We can never be satisfied ... until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream,” King said.

Truman’s Labor Day speech in Detroit on Sept. 6, 1948. M phrase “labor must be kept in its place.” It is time that all Americans realized that the place of labor is side by side with the businessman and with the farmer, and not one degree lower. One of the aspects of this Taft-Hartley agitation that has been most shocking to me has been the Republican attitude as expressed in the pious speeches of some of their leaders in government and in business. They seem to think that labor is some kind of a spoiled child that needs to be spanked. Do you want to carry the Taft-Hartley Law to its full implication and enslave totally the working man, white-collar and union man alike, or do you want to go forward with an administration whose interest is the welfare of the common man? Labor has always had to fight for its gains. Now you are fighting for the whole future of the labor movement. We are in a hard, tough fight against shrewd-andrich opponents. They know they can’t count on your vote. Their only hope is that you won’t vote at all. They have misjudged you. I know that we are going to win this crusade for the right. In Truman’s opening words, he referred to Eugene I. Van Antwerp, mayor of Detroit, Walter Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers, and Frank Martel, president of the Detroit and Wayne County Federation of Labor.

Spend the two weeks before the war in shank end of summer with Europe ended, were destined Atkinson’s tribute to all who for Henry Wright’s Missouri served and suffered. farm: Western Europe was, “Gray and stooped, the elder Wright watched as the caskets Atkinson stresses, just one cauldron: “The Red Army sufwere carried into the rustic bedroom where each boy had fered more combat deaths at O Stalingrad alone than the U.S. armed forces did in the entire war.” But “for magnitude and unalloyed violence, the battle in the Ardennes” — the Battle of the Bulge — “was unlike any seen before in American history.” The 600,000 Americans who fought in the Ardennes were four times the number of Union and Confederate soldiers at Gettysburg. Atkinson’s story is propelled by vivid descriptions and delicious details. Britain before D-Day “was steeped in heavy smells, of old smoke and cheap coal and fatigue.” Gen. Lucian Truscott “possessed what one staff officer called a ‘predatory’ face, with protruding gray eyes and gapped incisors set in a jut jaw built to scowl.” Field Marshal Bernard Montgomerychafed under Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s command: “Subordination held little appeal for a solipsist.” Soldiers visited Picasso in his Paris studio, where Hemingway, who ghostwrote love letters for some soldiers, “had left behind a box of grenades.” British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, whose thoughts encompassed millenniums past and future, ordered German rocket sites on the French side of the English Channel destroyed so the French could not use them “if they fall out of temper with us.” Some of the 6 billion propaganda leaflets dropped over Germany drifted as far as Italy. Jewish soldiers in the chaos of the Bulge hammered out the “H” — for “Hebrew” — on their dog tags. In a German iron pit, U.S. soldiers found crates labeled “Aachen Cathedral” containing “a silver bust of Charlemagne embedded with a fragment of the emperor’s skull.” These words were on a fortification in France: “Austin White, Chicago, Ill., 1918. Austin White, Chicago, Ill., 1945. This is the last time I want to write my name here.” In December 1944, the president’s blood pressure was 260 over 150, and on an April day in 1945 American newspapers published the daily casualty list with next of kin, including this: “Army-Navy Dead: ROOSEVELT, Franklin D., commander-in-chief; wife, Mrs. Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, the White House.” Atkinson’s narrative glows with the poetic prose of the heartbroken — letters penned by people caught up in what he calls “the scarlet calamity.” After Conrad Nutting died when his P-51 crashed, his pregnant wife wrote: “It will be my cross, my curse, and my joy forever, that in my mind you shall always be vibrantly alive.” An American war correspondent listened in a cemetery as a French girl read a letter from a mother to her son: “My dearest and unfortunate son, on June 16, 1944, like a lamb you died and left me alone without hope. . . . Your last words to me were, ‘Mother, like the wind I came and like the wind I shall go.’ ” Such reservoirs of eloquence were drawn from the depths of human dignity that survived the scalding obscenity of the war Atkinson describes unsparingly. The Battle of Agincourt (1415) is remembered less for its consequences than for what Shakespeare made of it in “Henry V.” World War II’s reverberations will roll down the centuries in its geopolitical consequences, and in the literature it elicited in letters and in histories like Atkinson’s trilogy.

The charges stem from an argument that began shortly after 4 a.m. Friday with the soldiers and the officer trading insults while mingling with women in front of the nightspot, police said. A criminal complaint alleges the men punched the officer until he fell to the ground then, when the officer tried to call 911, one of the men punched him again and took his cellphone The unidentified New York Police Department officer, who didn’t have a gun, cut one of the soldiers on the arm while trying to defend himself with a small pocket knife, police said. He suffered a broken nose and a swollen jaw. Secretary of State John Kerry says the debate about military strikes against Syria is not about President Barack Obama’s “red line” that weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. Instead, Kerry told Congress Tuesday that “this debate is about the world’s red line.” He says it is “a red line that anyone with a conscience ought to draw.” Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey were dispatched to the Senate to help persuade lawmakers to support a resolution authorizing limited military strikes against Syria following a chemical weapons attack last month outside Damascus that left hundreds dead, including many children. Kerry said “This is not the time for armchair isolationism. This is not the time to be spectators to slaughter.” Author Frederik Pohl, who over decades gained a reputation of being a literate and sophisticated writer of science fiction, has died at age 93. His wife, Elizabeth Hull, said Tuesday that Pohl died Monday at a hospital after experiencing respiratory problems at his home in the Chicago suburb of Palatine. News of his death was first announced by his granddaughter, Emily PohlWeary, in a tweet. Pohl wrote more than 40 novels. Two of his better-known works were “The Space Merchants,” written in the early 1950s with Cyril M. Kornbluth, and 1978’s “Gateway,” a winner of the Hugo Award for science fiction writing. Continued from Page 1A are seeing the very real effects these larger ships have on our sensitive ecosystems.” The joint resolution comes a month before Key West voters will decide whether the Army Corps of Engineers should study dredging the island’s main ship channel in order to accommodate larger cruise ships. Dredging is currently a prohibited activity in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The city of Key West could apply for a permit to dredge, but that would start a process that would require extensive research and investigation to determine if it would be allowed. Sanctuary superintendent Sean Morton has said there isn’t any permit category on the books to allow dredging for economic benefits only. Those opposed to the ballot question argue that widening the channel to accommodate larger cruise ships does not fit any of the sanctuary’s criteria for dredging. The environmental group Last Stand on Monday urged all Key West voters to defeat the referendum. Last Stand cited the comments made by Morton at a forum the nonprofit last month. Upon cursory review, sanctuary staff did not find a permit category within the regulations governing the sanctuary that would allow for new dredging, Morton said. ANDREW HINDERAKER/The Associated Press Democratic party New York mayoral candidates, on stage from left, Anthony Weiner, Bill Thompson, Bill de Blasio, Christine Quinn, and John Liu stand together Tuesday during a televised debate in New York. The high-stakes showdown Tuesday is being held exactly one week before the Sept. 10 primary. The debate opened with the candidates blaming Mayor Michael Bloomberg for not negotiating new contracts with city workers. Eric Bush, chief of the Planning and Policy for the Corps of Engineers Jacksonville office, said at the forum that his agency will not pursue funding a study unless the Army Corps gets a head nod from the resource agencies like the sanctuary, which appears to be unwilling to give at this time. Last Stand has consistently supported the reasons for establishing the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary — environmental protection and preservation, groups members said in prepared statement Monday. If the referendum passes, Last Stand and members of the Citizens for Responsible Tourism have raised concerns that channel widening supporters will use the results to lobby federal legislators to change sanctuary regulations to allow dredging, group members have said. “Last Stand cannot support any efforts to lobby Washington to weaken the FKNMS regulations that protect critical habitat for coral species covered under the Endangered Species Act,” Last Stand Board President Naja Girard said in a statement. Jennifer Hulse, an attorney who helped form the Greater Key West Chamber of Commerce’s political action committee backing the study, argued that Key West has lost nearly 30 percent of its cruise ship business since 2003, going CHICAGO from having about 1 million passengers each year then to 700,000 these days, she said. “The reason for that is the restrictions on the channel,” Hulse said. “This (economically) effects every aspect of our community.” Cruise ship companies are phasing out the smaller ships like the ones that come to Key West and replacing them with ones that are too big to come to Key West, because the channel has not been widened, Hulse said. This week brings two separate forums on the topic. Citizens for Responsible Tourism will hold a presenta- tion on the referendum and answer questions about the cruise ship industry’s impact on local taxes and jobs at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Key West VFW club, 2200 N.

Both states cited their respective bans on gay marriage. Tuesday was the first working day that gays in the military could apply for benefits after the Pentagon announced it would recognize same-sex marriages. The Department of Defense had announced that it would recognize same-sex marriages performed in states where they are legal following the U.S. Supreme Court decision that threw out parts of the Defense of Marriage Act. Texas and Mississippi appeared to be the only two states limiting how and where same-sex spouses of National Guard members could register for identification cards and benefits, according to an Associated Press tally. Officials in 13 other states that also ban gay marriage — including Arizona, Oklahoma, Florida, Michigan and Georgia — said Tuesday that they will follow federal law and process all couples applying for benefits the same. Maj. Gen. John Nichols, the commanding general of Texas Military Forces, wrote to service members in a letter obtained by the AP that because the Texas Constitution defines marriage as between a man and a woman, his state agency couldn’t process applications from gay and lesbian couples. But he said the Texas National Guard, Texas Air Guard and Texas State Guard would not deny anyone benefits. Nichols wrote that his agency, which oversees Texas’ National Guard units, “remains committed to ensuring its military personnel and their families receive the benefits to which they are entitled. As such, we encourage anyone affected by this issue to enroll for benefits at a federal installation.” NOTICE OF MEETING Key West Bight Management District Board Meeting Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 5:00 P.M.

September 4, 2013 Key West Citizen 360155 357570 8A THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2013 FROM PAGE 1 Nyad Continued from Page 1A cheers and laughter as she glowed like a written-off boxer who refused to stay down despite the promise of a beating still dancing in the ring. On her fifth try, four after she returned to marathon swimming from a 30-year break, Nyad set a world record for the longest unaided swim without a protective shark cage. “I stand here today so proud, I’m so proud of my team,” Nyad said. “And I’m very proud of myself.” Nyad, a swimming champion since the 1970s, returned to the ocean four years ago hellbent on beating the odds — and the box jellyfish, storms, fatigue, seawater and unpredictable pull of the Florida Straits — of treading the Atlantic Ocean between Havana and the Florida Keys. Though the applicable halls of fame have yet to begin vetting Nyad’s swim for the record books and no Stanley Cup type trophy or heavyweight belt exists for this singular feat, the world has fixed its eyes on Key West since this woman trudged onto Smathers Beach before 2 p.m. Monday. With a fresh scratch healing on one cheek, Nyad appeared triumphant and tested Tuesday, delivering a freewheeling keynote address that recalled the horrors that included fatigue-induced hallucinations, saltwater intake that made her lips and tongue swell and her insides turn. Having been stymied by venomous box jellyfish stings in her attempt last year, Nyad this time sported a body suit and a custom-made silicone jellyfish mask, crafted by a master prosthetics maker. But the protective mask made breathing difficult. “That night was hell on Earth, those 13 hours,” Nyad said, of the first overnight. “I started swallowing tremendous volumes of seawater and then I started vomiting constantly.” Nyad and Stoll, her closest advisor on the swim, showed reporters their BFF shorthand. When Nyad used the word “traitor” to describe any locals who went to work for another swimmer in June, Stoll jumped in. Asked if she was upset at Key Westers who had worked for her also working for Australian swimmer Chloe McCardel, who failed in her Parade Continued from Page 1A remarkable swim from Cuba to Key West without the aid of a shark cage has overnight made her a household name across the globe, wasn’t forgotten in the town she fought to reach over the Labor Day weekend. “She’s just so inspiring to me,” said County Commissioner Heather Carruthers, as parade participants assembled in the parking lot of Key West High June attempt after 11 hours in the water, Nyad said it’s all about competition. “I didn’t want Chloe to make it,” Nyad said. “I was honest with her about that. It’s history. It’s the Mount Everest of oceans. You want to be the first. It always means something.” Again, Stoll wanted to smooth out Nyad’s response. “She’s really happy Chloe McCardel did try it and Diana wanted to be the first,” Stoll said, from behind Nyad. “Thank you, Bonnie,” Nyad said. “But I didn’t want her to be stung or really hurt or die.” Nyad said she didn’t own the ocean. “Well now they can all go try it,” she said. Nyad’s journey has cost about $1 million over the years, she said Tuesday without apology. Secret brand deodorant was a sponsor and private donations rolled in, she said, along with mariners volunteering boats and equipment just because they wanted to. Ask the 2,000 people who swarmed her Monday afternoon as she landed on Smathers Beach if it was worth it, she told reporters. “We all have dreams and we all get disappointed,” said Nyad, a native New Yorker raised in South Florida. “We all have heartache and we suffer and work to get through it. What I saw on those people’s faces was, ‘You didn’t give up. That’s what I need to hear.

The appreciation of it all and the ability to articulate it is there. Although swimming that last 15 hours or so, I was saying, ‘Never again a jellyfish. Never again seasickness.’” Nyad, a journalist herself, delved into the age-defying milestone she has planted in the history books. But her self-image isn’t tangled up in labels or political camps, she said. “I don’t wake up every day attached to anything; I don’t wake up feeling like a ‘woman,’ I don’t wake up feeling like a ‘gay woman,’ School. “I just had my knee replaced, and have been feeling my years lately, but after what Diana’s just done, I’ll never whine again. What she’s accomplished is so much more than laudable.” Carruthers’ sentiments were echoed by others at the parade launch. “It’s really an amazing feat,” said City Commissioner Jimmy Weekley. “It shows that if you set your mind on doing something and go after it enough, you can achieve it. She wasn’t going to let anything stop her.” Key Wester Mick Kilgos, who ROB O’NEAL/The Citizen Diana Nyad receives a hero’s welcome Tuesday morning at the Sailfish Club on Stock Island prior to a press conference on her historic crossing of the Florida Straits over the weekend. I don’t wake up feeling like I’m 64 years old. I just wake up and bound out and grasp the next day. But I must say in every way I can think of, which includes the physical even, I think I’m dead center in the prime of my life at 64.”. The Cuban connection remained strong in Nyad’s campaign. “Cuba came alive in my imagination in 1978 at age 28,” Nyad said, during a 45-minute news conference held at Oceanside Marina on Stock Island. “Forty-two hours, horrible storms came up.” Turns out, Nyad said Tuesday, back then her technologically limited crew had at one point been going around in a circle. Having already circled Manhattan island and made it from the Bahamas to Florida, Nyad retired. She later opened a fitness company in Los Angeles with her pal Bonnie Stoll. But when her mom died at age 82, Nyad was 60. She did the math: her time was finite. “I thought, I’m going to go back, I’m going to chase that dream,” Nyad said, to a bank of television camera crews, reporters and most of her support team. “It’s a beautiful dream in every way, it was still alive somewhere in my heart.

Around 7 p.m., the parade snaked its way down Flagler Avenue, turned right onto White Street, then proceeded to Duval Street, by way of Truman Avenue. Hundreds of well-wishers crowded the parade route, snapping photos, shouting “We love you, Diana,” and holding signs which read, “Congrats, Diana!” Several rainbow flags fluttered in the wind, as the parade passed by the Gay and Lesbian Community Center, on Truman Avenue. Nyad’s victory coincided with the island’s annual Womenfest week-long revelry. A vintage bi-plane from Island Flying Service circled overhead, pulling a banner congratulating the Los Angeles resident for her world record. As the parade filed down lower Duval, scores of people filed out of the bars to join the celebration. In front of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, charter boat Capt.

Former 1st-round pick Watkins signs with Dolphins DAVIE — Former first-round draft pick Danny Watkins says he’s grateful for a fresh start with the Miami Dolphins after being cut by the Philadelphia Eagles. Watkins signed a $555,000, one-year contract with Miami and joined the team Tuesday. “It’s the most exciting time in my life again,” he said after practice. “I’ve had a grin on my face since this morning. It’s been great.” Watkins, a guard, spent two seasons with the Eagles and started 18 games before losing his job early last year.

The Keys girls, composed of players from Key West to Key Largo, have been practicing since mid July and it showed with the easy win against a traditionally tough opponent. FKSC scored two nice teamwork-driven goals in the first half. Regan Durkin started the first goal at the 16 minute mark when she won the ball in the midfield and passed to Audrey Butler. Butler attacked the goal and drew three defenders before coolly passing the ball off to attacking partner Chandler Elliot who scored, neatly slotting the ball by the keeper. In the 31st minute, midfielder Brandi Spalten attacked the Nomad defense, drawing two defenders on her.

The penalties were announced Tuesday by an international jury that has spent four weeks investigating illegal modifications of prototype boats used in warm-up regattas last year and earlier this year. Oracle Team USA, owned by software billionaire Larry Ellison of Oracle Corp., essentially starts the match at minus-2, meaning it must win 11 races to retain the oldest trophy in international sports. Team New Zealand must still win nine races to claim the silver trophy. The match begins with two races Saturday.

Carol Miller’s Marathon team was the winner, taking care of Archbishop Carroll, 25-14, 25-18, 25-6, in a District 16-3A match. Miller pointed to Jordan Roney as the leader of the team’s performance as the sophomore pounded six kills and had 15 service points. “Defensive specialist Brandi Spalten played a strong defensive and had 9 service points,” pointed out Miller in a text message. Miller said libero Katie Popejoy and Amanda Bruland also played strong defensively. “Middle hitters Regan Durkin and Johnisha Qualls continue to improve their attacks,” she wrote. Archimedean plays at Marathon on Thursday with Middle School, Junior Varsity and Varsity matches at 4, 5 and 6:30 p.m. The word wasn’t as good from Tavernier. “Ouch! That one hurt a little bit,” emailed coach Andrew Thiery, whose Lady Hurricanes went down to Gulliver Prep, 25-9, 25-23, 23-25, 25-11. “...What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger is what the Lady Canes can take away from a sound beating,” theorized Thiery. The coach said the typical good passing and serving was absent from Coral Shores in the first game as the Raiders went out to a big lead. He said games 2 and 3 were just the opposite, going the distance with two points deciding each set. In game 4, it was back to the way the first game went with Gulliver jumping ahead, 18-2, before taking the District 16-4A victory. “The inconsistent play was not due to a lack of effort,” said Thiery, who said his team pulled it together and battled in the middle two games. “The end was a cataclysmic case of not being able to side out,” said the coach. “We’d miss a pass, then we’d get a pass and the set was outside. Then we would get a good pass and set and hit it out of bounds. It happens.” Melissa Helphrey had 10 kills, while Ellie Leopold had 9 kills and 3 blocks, Brooklyn Irwin 3 kills and Skyler De Moss 2 kills. Coral Shores is at Archbishop Curley on Thursday.

AWARDS UM QB Morris thrilled to play No. 12 Florida BY TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press CORAL GABLES — Stephen Morris wanted to play his college football in his home state. Florida coaches said they would probably be willing to give him that opportunity. That’s all Miami had to hear. When Morris started getting some serious interest from the Gators during the recruiting process in 2009, the Hurricanes quickly convinced the Miami native to remain in his hometown for another four years. That’s what Morris wanted anyway, and on Saturday he gets a chance to beat the school that unsuccessfully wooed him when No. 12 Florida (1-0) visits the Hurricanes (1-0) in the renewal of a rivalry that was once among the best in the college game. “I wanted to stay in Florida,” Morris said. “I wanted to stay home with my family, I wanted to stay as close to my family as I could. I was just waiting for a school to give me a chance, to give me an opportunity. My hometown school gave me that shot. I never looked back.” The Hurricanes expect every seat in Sun Life Stadium — all 76,854 of them, a bigger-thanSee MORRIS, page 3B Photo courtesy of Linda Russin The 12 members and 3 coaches of the 2013 12 and Under Cal Ripken Florida State Champion Baseball Team were named Key West Summer Athletes of the Week, an award established by Island 107.1 FM Radio.

Clemson is No. 4 in the first regular season Top 25, following its 38-35 victory against Georgia.

Nearing final cuts on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers fifthyear running back looked at the crowded depth chart and figured somebody’s feelings were going to get hurt. “I know that somebody had to go,” Redman said. “After being around here for awhile, you understand how it goes, and I knew somebody had to go this year.” And despite missing the final two games of the preseason while recovering from a neck injury, it wasn’t Redman. Instead, the Steelers cut Jonathan Dwyer — the team’s leading rusher in 2012 — and handed Redman the starting job for the season opener against Tennessee on Sunday while second-round pick Le’Veon Bell works his way back from a sprained right foot.

He spent the 2008 season on Miami’s practice squad after joining the Dolphins as a rookie free agent out of Maine. He played the next three seasons with the New York Jets and last season with the St. Louis Rams.

Boston Red Sox beat Detroit, 2- Scherzer is now 19-2. 1, on Tuesday night, ending the Tigers righthander’s chance to INDIANS 4, ORIOLES 3 CLEVELAND — Ubaldo Jimenez become just the second pitcher Morris Continued from page 1B usual capacity for a bigger-than-usual game — to be filled on Saturday, and the game will be televised nationally as well. It could be quite the backdrop for a signature moment that Miami has craved for some time. The Hurricanes are 1-10 since November 2005 when facing teams ranked No. 12 or better, and that one win comes with a bit of an asterisk, since it was over an Oklahoma team in 2009 that was playing without an injured Sam Bradford. And Morris is 0-4 against ranked teams in his three-plus seasons at Miami. None of that will matter much Saturday, of course. It’s Miami vs. Florida, and it’s a game Morris has waited a while to play. “What is there to talk about? Sept. 7, noon, it is what it is,” Morris said, a sly smile on his face. “We’ll be there.” Florida coach Will Muschamp wasn’t with the Gators when Morris was being recruited, so he doesn’t know what went into the player’s decision to choose the Hurricanes over a team that, at the time, was among the ultra-elite in the college game. He just knows what he sees on film, and to him, Morris stands out. “I think he takes the ball to the right spots,” Muschamp said this week. “He gets the ball to the playmakers’ hands. He makes really good decisions about where to take the ball, and he makes quick decisions. He’s got a very quick mental makeup as far as where to take the foot- NATIONAL LEAGUE REDS 1, CARDINALS 0 CINCINNATI — Speedy Billy ball. I think he’s one of the better quarterbacks in college football.” Muschamp isn’t alone in thinking that. Morris wasn’t perfectly sharp in Miami’s season-opening win over Florida Atlantic — 15 of 27 for 160 yards — but he sizzled at the end of last season and pulled off a fairly sizable accomplishment this summer, when he won the skills competition at the Manning Passing Academy. Going back to last November, Morris is 41 in his last five starts with 12 touchdowns, one interception, a 59-percent completion rate and 1,291 yards through the air. That doesn’t even take into account his school-record 566yard day against North Carolina State last September, either. “He has a lot of arm talent,” Florida safety Marcus Maye said. “He knows their offense very well. He knows how to read defenses. It’s a big challenge for us. He’s a great quarterback. We’re looking forward to the challenge.” Morris was there the last time the Hurricanes and Gators played, part of a record-sized crowd in Gainesville, in 2008 when Florida beat Miami, 26-3. It was a 9-3 game entering the fourth quarter before Florida got two late touchdowns, then a field goal in the final minute after Gators coach Urban Meyer decided not to simply run out the clock. Another record crowd — probably the largest to see a Miami home game at Sun Life — awaits Saturday, and with it, the next chance for a big win. Miami stumbled when presented with chances like this last year, getting beaten by Kansas State, Notre Dame and Florida State in 2012 by a combined 90 points. Hamilton got his first major league steal Tuesday night and came around on Todd Frazier’s double in the seventh inning, sending Cincinnati to victory, its second straight over St. Louis. Hamilton set a professional record by swiping 155 bases in the minors last year. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns and Michael Beasley have reached an agreement to terminate the contract of the troubled forward. The move on Tuesday will cost the franchise $7 million, a $2 million savings from what Beasley would have been due had he simply been waived. Beasley was arrested a month ago in suburban Scottsdale on charges of felony marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. It was the latest in a series of incidents .

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2013 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2013 INFERENCES CAN BE WEAK OR STRONG By Phillip Alder Who said, “We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy, but by direct intercourse and sympathy”? Interestingly, when hunting suitable quotations for these columns, this is the first I found exactly word for word credited to two different people; in this case, Henry David Thoreau and Richard M. Nixon. Is it possible that Nixon borrowed from Thoreau? Whichever, clearly neither was a bridge player. Our game is full of inferences from which we learn information about a deal. Because someone did something, he must have this or cannot have that. Today’s deal is a testing example of this. South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond three, dummy’s 10 taking the trick. How should South continue? South has only nine winners: six hearts and three diamonds. He probably needs to guess clubs. However, before doing that, he should draw trumps, cash his diamond tricks and exit with a spade. Here, suppose East wins with his queen and cashes the ace. Then his best play is immediately to shift to a low club. If he does, should South play his jack or king? Probably, though, East will try to cash a third spade. Declarer ruffs, crosses to dummy with a trump, and leads a club up. What is your guess? Why? This is no certainty, but think back to trick one. West led from a weak queen-high suit. If he had had queenhigh clubs, he might have chosen that suit instead. But if he had ace-high clubs, he would never have led it. So the correct play for declarer is his club jack.

Transportation & tools required. (305) 797-0135 534 COMMERCIAL PROPERTY When he comes to my house, he goes through the mail, opens the cabinets and refrigerators, even goes into my room when I’m not home and watches TV. I am dating someone new and don’t feel comfortable with this setup. I’m worried it will cause problems with my new friend, and I don’t know how to stop this madness. We currently have the “married house” on the market, and I want to make sure he knows he won’t be welcome in my new home if not invited. How do I avoid conflict with him and my kids? -- REALLY DIVORCED IN ST. LOUIS DEAR REALLY DIVORCED: You should have set clear boundaries the day your divorce became official, but it’s still not too late to do so. Tell your ex to notify the post office -- and his creditors -- of his change of address, and that if his mail continues to show up at your house, after a month it will be returned to the post office with the notation “not at this address.” You should also inform him and your children that you do not want him in your house in your absence. If he doesn’t respect your wishes, then change the locks. The time he spends with your teenage children should also be elsewhere. He may not like the fact that you are establishing your independence, but you have a right to your privacy. TO MY JEWISH READERS: Sundown starts Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. It is the beginning of our time of solemn introspection. I would like to wish you all “Leshana tova tikatevu” -- may you be inscribed in the Book of Life and enjoy another good year. 357993 460 COMMERCIAL RENTALS DEAR ABBY: Two years ago one of my granddaughters was molested by her mother’s (my daughter’s) thenboyfriend, whom they were living with. When the girl’s father found out, he called the police and the man was arrested, tried and convicted. Abby, while he was out on bail, my daughter married him! She doesn’t believe the molestation took place. If I were in her shoes, I would certainly believe my 8-yearold daughter over a boyfriend about something so damaging. I cut off contact with this daughter, as did her sisters. She occasionally calls my husband (who is not her father) when she wants something, and I have received a few texts, which I ignore. Am I doing the right thing? I sometimes feel guilty, but it angers me that she didn’t stand behind her daughter and has made no effort to see either of her girls over the past two years. I see them often because their dad knows I stand with the girls 100 percent. -- GRANDMA IN OHIO DEAR GRANDMA: The answer to your question depends upon why your daughter hasn’t seen her children in two years. If it’s because their father won’t allow it, then her estrangement from her daughters isn’t her fault. If it has been her choice, however, then stop feeling guilty. DEAR ABBY: I need your opinion about my ex-husband and his lack of respect for boundaries. He moved out of our home two years ago, but never changed his mailing address. We have been officially divorced for six months. He feels it’s OK to come to our “married house” anytime he wants. We have two teenage children who refuse to spend the night with him. 357992 428 UNFURNISHED APTS.
