Beginning Wednesday, the intersections of Virginia and Watson streets and Virginia and Grinnell streets, at the old fire station, will be fourway stops. The new stops are expected to improve public safety at dangerous intersections where the line of sight is limited. CUDJOE KEY Volunteers, gear, food needed to care for survivors BY TIMOTHY O’HARA Citizen Staff Marine mammal rescuers are seeking donations of wet suits, aqua socks and meals for volunteers who are expected to tend to seven beached pilot whales over the days to come. More than 100 community members answered a call for volunteers Thursday night after 20 whales beached themselves in the shallows off Blimp Road on Cudjoe Key. As with any long-term marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation operation in which care is provided around the clock, organizers will rely heavily on volunteers to help care for the animals. The nonprofit Marine Mammal Conservancy in Key Largo, which is overseeing the operation, is continuing to ask for volunteers, who typically are in the water for four-hour shifts. Conservancy Director Robert Lingenfelser thanks the community for its support so far. NATION Businesses hiring at best pace since 2006 WASHINGTON: American companies are on a hiring spree.

Advanced students TODAY IN KEYS HISTORY “Congratulations to the person who reached their 100th comment in the Citizens’ Voice. Thank you for creative, positive ramblings. I, for one, have enjoyed your comments and the journey.” “There aren’t enough cops to stop tourists from walking Duval Street with drinks in their hands. And as long as they aren’t drunk, why does it matter? The city should be worried about some homeless person who has been arrested for the same thing contacting the American Civil Liberties Union.” “Let me get this straight. In an effort to reduce disorderly conduct and public intoxication on Duval Street, the police would rather you rapidly pound down alcoholic beverages before leaving an establishment versus allowing you to casually sip it as you leisurely stroll around downtown. This doesn’t make too much sense to me.” “Regarding Pritam Singh: I like this guy. He presented to the commission and community a rendering of what his project would look like. Before going any further with the politics, he wants to walk the site with potential neighbors. If they don’t want it, he’ll go no further. How refreshing. Also, I need a job!” “Key West is on water restrictions and lacking affordable housing but we are going to build a hotel which will consume water and create lowpaying jobs? What is wrong with this picture?” “Another stupid parking decision. So when all the residents with their special permits drive to their jobs (and a lot do) their spaces are reserved for them when they come home and no one else can use them during the day. Those people driving in from, say, Stock Island to their jobs in town are out of luck!” “Locals probably know there are bike lanes on White Street. Visiting motorists might never guess it, because the lane markings are faded almost to the point of invisibility. Dangerous? Yep.” “I love the new parking plan test and, yes, I live in Old Town. But perhaps only one decal should be issued per household. I would hate to see multiple decals issued to a home filled with roommates. Also, does this mean that a home under construction for months on end will not be able to have multiple trucks taking up residential parking? Yeah!” “Outlawing three-wheelers is absurd! I suffered a brain injury and do not have the balance that a conventional bike requires. My three-wheeler is my only personal mode of transportation, which includes grocery shopping.” “Really? Kids’ baseball, front page news? There’s nothing more important going on in the world? Give me a break.” “Oh, please, not another Pritam Singh eyesore.” SPONSOR THE VOICE ICE The Upper Keys Business and Professional Women will be hosting a Kentucky Derby viewing party from 4 to 7 p.m. at The Harborage Clubhouse, Mile Marker 87, oceanside.

Jessica Calitri, 25, of Big Pine Key, was charged with theft and burglary. The victims told a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputy that someone had walked into their unlocked West Indies Drive house on Tuesday and taken a Calitri purse from the kitchen table, according to a Sheriff’s Office press release. Deputies said they used sur- veillance footage captured at the house to identify Calitri. A neighbor reportedly saw someone fitting Calitri’s description handing out fliers in the area promoting a car wash at a bar to be held Wednesday. Deputies reportedly found Calitri there, and she allegedly admitted to taking the purse and burying it near the end of Key Deer Boulevard. The release did not say why she buried it. Calitri was taken to Monroe County Detention Center. Information in the Crime Report is obtained from reports provided by area law enforcement agencies.

KEY WEST Attendance policy tabled due to absences BY MANDY MILES Citizen Staff The absence of four voting members forced the Truman Waterfront Advisory Board to cancel its meeting Friday, when it had planned to discuss, among other things, developing an attendance policy. All seven members have been absent at one time or another since the board’s inception in 2009. Ashish Soni has missed 14 meetings, Jerry Curtis has missed six, Edward Gartenmayer has missed five since November, Owen Trepanier and Al Sullivan have missed four each, and Jim Attack Continued from Page 1A papers, tabloids and online forums, including the New York Daily News and the Daily Mail in England. “I guess it’s kind of cool being famous a little bit and making history a little bit,” Gregory said. What made the incident such a headline-grabber was the possible novelty of it: There never has been a recorded crocodile attack on a human in the history of the state. Unlike their cousins in Africa and Australia, the endangered American crocodile is a shy, reclusive and docile creature and “conflicts between crocodiles and humans are still very rare,” according to a press release the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) released late Thursday to announce it is investigating the incident. “With limited information at hand, the FWC cannot conclude what animal the kayakers encountered. ... The FWC cannot confirm what caused the kayak to overturn, but there are many animals and things found in water that can cause scratches and wounds to people,” the press release says. “The FWC suspects this may Gilleran, who is now the chairman, and Margaret Domanski, who is now the vice chairwoman, have missed one each. There are four non-voting members. Curtis and Sullivan had notified the board in advance of their planned absence from Friday’s meeting, but Soni and Gartenmayer were unannounced no-shows. Gilleran apologized to the public for the inconvenience, and said the board would try to reschedule the meeting later this month. The Key West Commoners, a grass-roots group that wants to help with the waterfront devel- opment, had planned to introduce a nonprofit group called Projects for Public Spaces, which would work with the chosen park designer as a facilitator and community liaison to ensure the park represents what it is the public wants. The Commoners wanted to determine a time for the nonprofit’s representatives to visit Key West and make a presentation to the board, said Commoner Christine Russell, who said such meeting cancellations waste the time of residents who make plans to attend. Each city commissioner appointed a board member: Clayton Lopez appointed Soni, Mark Rossi appointed Gartenmayer to replace original board member Kurt Lewin when he stepped down in November, former Mayor Morgan McPherson appointed Curtis, Barry Gibson appointed Trepanier, Bill Verge appointed Sullivan, former Commissioner Dan Kolhage appointed Gilleran, and Teri Johnston appointed Domanski. The board typically meets the first Friday of each month, but has scheduled an occasional workshop in the evening or on a Saturday. [email protected] have been a chance occurrence and not an overt act by whatever animal the kayakers may have encountered.” The couple was paddling in Florida Bay, just outside the canals of Sexton Cove near Mile Marker 106, when they said something flipped their kayaks and injured them in the water, but it was before dawn, so they didn’t get a good look at whatever it was. The clues point to a crocodile, some say. “Everything I’ve heard is consistent that they canoed over an alligator or a crocodile, and this time of year it is more likely to be a crocodile than an alligator,” said Frank Mazzotti, a University of Florida wildlife biologist who specializes in both large reptiles. Tavernier’s Dr. Bernard Ginsberg, who later examined the couple, quickly concluded it was a reptilian attack. Mazzotti, who has viewed pictures of their wounds, agreed. What tips the balance toward crocodiles over alligators are the elements of time and place. Crocodiles are more likely to be found in the waters near Sexton Cove, which sits in close proximity to the Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge on North Key Largo. Alligators, which reside mostly in freshwater, can make their way into the salty environs of Florida Bay, but they are more likely to do so in the summer wet season, when runoff makes the bay’s water a bit more palatable to them, Mazzotti said. He said the couple’s descriptions sound like a typical response from a startled crocodile or alligator. First, the beast would have risen up as it started to swim away, tipping the kayaks in the process. Then, it would have remained on alert once it saw people in the water. “Their reflexive behavior is to swing their head and bite, snap and release,” Mazzotti said. “And that’s a defensive behavior and pretty much serves as a warning to anything in the area to get out of here or worse is coming.” The FWC press release says “wild animals instinctively flee from an unexpected or perceived threat or encounter with a human.” The couple said a frenzy ensued after the kayaks flipped. “I was trying to swim back to the boat,” said Poulson, 20, who lives in Islamorada. “I felt a nudge. When I got back in the boat, I was like, ‘What was that?’ I was halfway up the canal when it started to hurt.” Poulson had several scratches on her torso and a gash and heavy bruising under her thigh. Gregory, 23, of Key Largo, was bitten on his leg. “The whole time this was happening we were in shock,” he said. “I thought it was a manatee and I didn’t know it was a crocodile until we got back there and saw the scratches on our legs.” The FWC said complaints about crocodiles have increased as the threatened species’s population has grown, from fewer than 300 in 1975 to more than 1,500 adults today. “Because crocodiles get large, people must use caution when near them or recreating in areas where they are found,” the press release says. It is unlikely the couple’s incident will be recorded as a documented crocodile attack, Mazzotti said, since no one saw the offending creature and the bite marks are likely not extensive enough to differentiate between an alligator and crocodile. The couple’s marks indicate one or two teeth, but it would take a complete outline of the beast’s jawline to be conclusive. For his part, Gregory is drawing some positives from the attack. He said he’s long been known to his friends as “croc” due to his penchant for catching — with his bare hands — everything from birds to sharks to smaller fish. In fact, he dreams of having his own TV show, Steve Irwinlike, where he can use those skills. The attack, he said, was a fluke that shouldn’t keep him or others off the water. Then again, it might have been payback from all those creatures he’s gotten the best of with those bare hands of his. “My friends are saying it’s karma,” Gregory said.

TAVERNIER March 28, 1913 Avael Continued from Page 1A year. Avael has started campaigning by surveying residents in the New Town district that includes parts of Flagler, Patterson and Seidenberg avenues, along with Johnson and Laird streets and Riviera Canal. “I’ve gotten some positive responses, and I think I can help my friends on the dais to make the city a better place,” he said, adding that he has not outlined a specific platform other than improvement and the need for a strategic plan. “We haven’t had any direction since 2005; no goals or objectives or strategic plan.” Avael said he worked as city manager for 11 years and four months, until fall 2007. The City Commission at the time declined to renew Avael’s employment contract and began a search for a new city manager. Avael submitted his name for consideration, but withdrew it when then-mayor Morgan McPherson and some commissioners said they did not want him as a candidate. Avael lists as his accomplishments the city’s acquisition of Truman Waterfront and Poinciana Plaza from the Navy and the establishment of the ambassadors program. “I also initiated the accreditation process and the creation of a strategic plan, but that was eventually dropped,” he said, commending Commissioner Teri Johnston for championing the need for a strategic plan and establishing a community committee to draft it. “Folks have been telling me, ‘Julio, you were very decisive. We knew how you felt about things,’” he said, adding that “quite a few directors within the city staff have asked me to run.” Avael’s tenure as city manager was not without controversy, and he was criticized for approving significant pay raises, just weeks before he left office, for a handful of employees, including then-Assistant City Manager John Jones, former Police Chief Bill Mauldin, former Transportation Director Myra Wittenberg and Director of Community Services Greg Veliz. “I was off for three months for a knee replacement and had a modified, self-directed team to take my place and run the city,” he said. “They worked hard and did a damn good job in my absence.” When asked whether his election would signify to some a return to a “Bubba” government fraught with political favors, Avael said, “I never considered myself a part of a Bubba government, regardless of what anyone felt. I worked for seven commissioners. And if elected, I understand that I will be one of seven, working with the others.” Avael also touted his institutional memory as a benefit to the commission, and said he has been keeping abreast of city issues through his weekly radio show “Point to Point” on KONK AM, which he relinquished when he announced his candidacy. Since 2007, Avael has been working as a consultant for the Non-Violence Project, a nonprofit organization in Miami, and he started his own consulting firm, Avael & Associates.

CLARIN/PUBLISHER TOM TUELL/EDITOR RALPH MORROW/SPORTS EDITOR THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ SATURDAY, MAY 7, 2011 OPINION ED BLOCK CHARLIE BRADFORD KEN DOMANSKI SHIRLEY FREEMAN TODD GERMAN Thanks to the Seabees; you will be missed Q uite apart from its military missions, the detachment of U.S. Navy Seabees assigned to Naval Air Station Key West has long been a valuable community asset here in the Florida Keys. Unfortunately, the detachment is now in the process of closing up shop, no doubt a consequence of tightening budgets in U.S. military resources. But that does not mean we have seen the last of them. Seabees will remain an important element of the military’s Southern Command headquartered in Miami, and will be available for deployment wherever needed. Also, some of the local personnel likely will be transferred to other tasks at NAS Key West and will remain here. We are prompted, nevertheless, to take occasion to say thanks to the Seabees for all they have done through the years to make our island paradise so livable. We begin our tribute by acknowledging how their contributions to the community have gone largely unnoticed Editorial because so often they have participated in fundraising and other charitable activities as volunteers. Of course, the Seabees also show up in force when their formidable skills in construction work and maintenance are so often and so willingly made available for a wide range of urgent tasks, including such things as hurricane cleanups, rebuilding and repairing community landmarks and helping nonprofits construct or renovate their facilities. The Navy’s Seabees were created within days of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and have retained responsibility as a primary construction force worldwide. It is with considerable disappointment — but with sincere thanks — that we say goodbye, wishing smooth sailing to the Seabees and their families who soon will be billeted elsewhere to carry on their important duties for our country. — The Citizen Another bill deserving of veto H ouse and Senate bills that would limit doctors’ questions about guns in patients’ homes made it through the Legislature, but only after undergoing surgery to remove the most offensive portions. It doesn’t matter. Florida lawmakers should have let this idea die on the operating-room table. For a while, it looked as if the legislation would flatly prohibit doctors from asking patients whether they have guns in their homes and how they’re stored. There was also the threat of heavy fines. The prohibition stands — but a doctor will be allowed to ask about guns if he’s concerned for the safety of a patient or others at home. Noting the presence of firearms in a patient’s record is also prohibited — unless it’s deemed relevant to the patient’s care. You’ll notice that a lot of ifs, ands and buts crept into the House and Senate bills. The fines were removed, too. Jim Waldman of Coconut Creek told The Associated Press: “The fact that it’s better than it was doesn’t make it good. It’s still an infringement on medical care.” That’s exactly right. This legislation gives physicians yet another reason to look over their shoulders as they talk with patients, because Big Brother in Tallahassee will be watching. It deserves a veto. — The Northwest Florida Daily News (of Fort Walton Beach) ON THE WEB: Monroe County www.monroecofl.virtualtownhall.net City of Key West www.keywestcity.com City of Marathon www.ci.marathon.fl.us Village of Islamorada www.islamorada.fl.us City of Key Colony Beach www.keycolonybeach.net Monroe County Sheriff’s Office www.keysso.net Monroe County School District www.keysschools.com Monroe County Clerk www.clerk-of-the-court.com Monroe County Supervisor of Elections www.keys-elections.org Monroe County Property Appraiser www.mcpafl.org Nonprofits serving homeless help restore dignity BY TOM CALLAHAN Guest Columnist L ike so many before her, Raquel crossed the Straits of Florida in a makeshift boat. Clutching her 3-year-old son, she fought back waves of nausea as the seas crashed against the rusted 55-gallon drums. The boy’s father hovered protectively over both of them, hoping the darkness would conceal the terror in his eyes. Childhood sweethearts, they were abandoning their homeland of Cuba in the hope of making a better life for their son. Life in America was difficult from the onset, however, and the young couple soon found themselves living out of their car as they struggled to make ends meet. That’s when they ended up at the Star of the Sea Outreach Mission looking for food. Speaking very little English, Raquel nevertheless insisted on helping us whenever she received anything. I soon began to hear of this little dynamo with her Cuban mop, keeping our floors and bathrooms sparkling clean. As a food pantry, the place can get quite messy and we are required by the Health Department to maintain certain standards. Raquel cleaned several times a day, and we soon brought her on as our second employee. She initially refused any compensation — even the nominal $50 a week that we could afford in the beginning — but now, five years later, we are able to pay her a livable wage. Her husband works very hard as a fisherman, and they now have a nice apartment. She just gave birth to a little sister for her son. Raquel is very bright, has taught herself English over the past few years, and is invaluable to us as a bilingual staff member. What a gift it has been to watch this young family assimilate into productive members of our community! Don had been homeless for eight years. A gentle giant of a man, he came to us by way of another local nonprofit, Helpline, where he had spent the past year sleeping on the floor each night and answering their 24-hour emergency hotline. Another one who insisted on giving back for what he received, Don had been helping us on and off since we opened our doors six years ago. Our food recovery program had begun to overwhelm our single driver last year, and someone suggested that Don might be a good candidate for another driver. I was astounded to find that not only had he still maintained a driver’s license over all these years of homelessness, but he had an excellent driving record as well! He came on board with us last year and used his first paycheck as the deposit on a room in a house right down the street from the mission. The bed in that little room was the first that he had slept on in over eight years. He has since logged thousands of safe driving miles for us and works at least 60 hours a week — while only being paid for 20. He has known all along that we cannot afford to pay him anything more than that. Those extra 40 hours are his way of giving back, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Don also brought us Andy, another homeless man. A jack of all trades, Andy has had many periods of homelessness over the past 15 years, with the state of the construction industry pretty much determining whether or not he had a roof over his head. This most recent economic downturn has found him living in the mangroves for the past six months. Andy struggles with alcohol, is subject to seizures from a head injury, and lost his driving privileges some time ago. Nevertheless, he functions as Don’s wingman, helping load and unload many tons of furniture and food. A very competent contractor, he has also proven invaluable in helping maintain and improve our facility. Some work is finally coming his way, and while we were never able to pay him for his many months of service, we were able to pay the deposit and first month’s rent on a nice trailer that he is fixing up. At the same time, Don’s landlord needed the room back, and Don has moved into the trailer with Andy. With the two of them splitting the rent, it’s much less likely that either will ever be homeless again. The cycle continues with Don’s latest protégé, Gary. Gary now spends his days helping us, rather than aimlessly walking the streets of Key West waiting for KOTS to open each night. With his physical and mental disabilities, life will always be a struggle for Gary, but we will offer him the same hand up we offered Andy. Stories such as these happen every day in this town. Nonprofits that are all too often seen as the cause of our homeless population are in reality in the business of homeless prevention. The beds provided by Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, Samuel’s House, the Domestic Abuse Shelter and Children’s Shelter don’t bring these people to Key West any more than does the food that we distribute. What we do bring to Key West is the opportunity for these poor souls to regain their basic human dignity, and to have what so many of us take for granted — a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs.

That is the promise of motherhood — unconditional love for your children, helping them grow and mature, picking them up when they fall, showing them the difference between right and wrong, protecting them from harm and preparing them for the world outside the comforts of home. In turn, children promise to honor their mom and dad, take care of them every day, especially as they age, and love them unconditionally. I have been very lucky in my life to have many wonderful surrogate moms — my Aunt Mayda, my grandmothers Cristina and Lola, a guidance counselor in high school named Mrs. Murphy, and in my later years, my mother-in-law, Nina. All these women have shown me the power of love and have been role models of strong women who can achieve anything. My interactions with them have framed my view of women as equals in every way. My sisters, Margie and Reggie, have also served as strong influences as I have watched them grow as parents with their children, and recently as grandmothers themselves. Unfortunately, not all children have been as lucky. The headlines and blogs are filled with stories of children who have come out of the closet to their families and have been rejected, shunned, and, in some cases, disowned. How can a mother or father turn their back on their child and disown them? How does a child, faced with this most intimate rejection, survive and grow to be a stable and productive adult? The answer can be found in the power of love. When a young man or woman struggling with his or her sexuality includes you in this very special part of their life, love them, hug them, and let them know that they are safe. Gay and lesbian teenagers struggle with the same issues that all teenagers do, and have the added burdens associated with being different from many of their peers. If you are lucky enough as a parent to have your child come out to you, your reaction can literally save their life. If you reject them, the self-hatred may build to a point of dire consequences including suicide. If you show them the power of love and acceptance, you will most certainly make a difference in their life and help them on their journey to self-acceptance. Happy Mother’s Day to all the fabulous moms out there. Your gay and lesbian children love you very much!

Break in case of missing woman Anthony’s parents allowed at trial The U.S. Commerce Undersecretary for International Trade says he is confident the Colombian Free Trade Agreement can happen this year. Under Secretary Frank Sanchez told The Associated Press Friday during a trip to Miami that the Obama administration is pleased with the recent steps the Colombian government has taken to address its concerns over the high rates of violence involving labor leaders and union members. Sanchez was in Florida to discuss the proposed agreement with local businesses and to tour Port Everglades, which is participating in the president’s National Export Initiative to help create new jobs and double U.S. exports over the next five years. Authorities in upstate New York say they have arrested a former prison guard whose police-recruit girlfriend disappeared in Florida in March. State police arrested 47-year-old David Perry, of Elmira, late Thursday night and charged him with insurance fraud and grand larceny. Trooper Mark O’Donnell says Perry is accused of fabricating an injury while working in the Elmira jail in 2003. Authorities in Indian Rocks Beach, Fla., have been seeking to question Perry about the disappearance of 35-yearold Kelly Rothwell, a police academy recruit. The two were living in Rothwell’s condo when she disappeared. Perry moved back to Elmira soon after. The judge in the Casey Anthony murder trial has ruled that Anthony’s parents will be allowed in the courtroom throughout the trial despite being both defense and prosecution witnesses. Chief Judge Belvin Perry said that the defense did not meet its burden in challenging a motion by George and Cindy Anthony to view the proceedings, and that their presence wouldn’t infringe on Casey Anthony’s right to a fair trial. Sequestration is possible for other witnesses in the trial. It is set to begin Monday with jury selection at a yet to be disclosed location. The defense withdrew a motion objecting to jury selection location. The actual trial will be held in Orlando. Casey Anthony is charged with firstdegree murder of her toddler, Caylee.

No deal on immigration bill as session ends BY BRENT KALLESTAD AND LAURA WIDES-MUNOZ The Associated Press STEVE CANNON/The Associated Press House Republicans huddle during the winding-down session. Final budget offers plenty of fiscal pain to go around BY BILL KACZOR The Associated Press TALLAHASSEE — Special education teacher Hal Krantz hasn’t had a raise in two years, but he’ll be among 650,000 public employees whose paychecks will be cut to help balance an annual state budget that also slashes spending by nearly $4 billion. The $69.7 billion budget (SB 2000) was set for final votes in the House and Senate late Friday to close out Florida’s annual legislative session. Passage was virtually assured. Both chambers have overwhelming Republican majorities, and GOP leaders kept their pledge not to raise taxes although they found other ways to balance the budget that would go into effect July 1. It will save more than $1 billion for the state and local governments by requiring public employees such as Krantz to contribute 3 percent of their pay to the Florida Retirement System, now fully funded by taxpayers. “Every expense I have has been going up, except my salary, so it’s going to be a hardship for me and every other teacher out there,” said Krantz, who teaches at Coral Springs Middle School in Broward County. “You’re going to have a lot of teachers that are going to be looking for second jobs.” That’s assuming they still have their first jobs. The budget eliminates nearly 4,500 state positions, although about 2,000 are vacant while 1,700 jobs are in prisons slated to be privatized. School districts also are anticipating layoffs and furloughs due to state spending cuts. Some private sector employees who depend on state funding, such as road builders and nursing home workers, also may get the ax. There’s also fiscal pain ahead for college and university students who will be paying higher tuition, and many will see their state-funded scholarships cut. Public school classrooms will become more crowded. Hospitals and nursing homes will take a reduction in Medicaid payments. Everglades restoration spending will be cut and funding eliminated for the Florida Forever environmental land-buying program. “Although this has to be one of the most difficult budgets in the history of Florida, I think it’s one that most of us can go home and feel like it’s a workable budget,” said Senate Budget Chairman JD Alexander, R-Lake Wales. Yet, lawmakers found enough money to cut taxes by $308 million — mostly at the expense of water management districts — and pay for dozens of their pet projects. Those include college and university buildings, a rowing facility in Sarasota and a $400,000 study of House Speaker Dean Cannon’s proposal to expand the Florida Supreme Court. The budget also maintains $2.28 billion in reserve funds. Requiring teachers, state workers and many local government employees, including police and firefighters, to make retirement contributions was one of Gov. Rick Scott’s top priorities, although he had proposed bigger contributions of 5 percent. Scott said it was only fair for public employees to contribute, because most workers in other states and the private sector must do so. Public employee unions opposed that move. They say employees gave up pay raises decades ago in exchange for full public funding of the plan. Also, state workers now are going into a fifth straight year without an across-the-board pay raise. TALLAHASSEE — Florida legislators headed into the waning hours of the 2011 session without an agreement on a tough immigration bill sought by the governor and attorney general. As the final hours ticked away Friday, it appeared the House was not going to agree with a watered-down version of an immigration measure passed Wednesday by the Senate. Republican Gov. Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi both favor stronger immigration laws similar to one in Arizona, although tourism officials and Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam cautioned that a similar measure could damage those industries. The Senate bill doesn’t contain a requirement that employers check new hires against a federal database. Scott signed an executive order in January ordering state agencies to use EVerify to determine if current or prospective employees are legal. The House bill also gives wider leeway to law enforcement officers in questioning individuals about their immigration status. The Latino group Democracia USA opposes both bills, and its director, Jorge STEVE CANNON/The Associated Press Rep. Ron Saunders, D-Key West, debates the budget bill during session on Friday. Mursuli, took credit Friday for apparently helping to derail a final compromise. His group, along with the pro-immigrant Washington-based America’s Voice Education Fund, targeted Florida Sen. Anitere Flores in the final weeks of the legislation, accusing her in Spanish-language radio ads of betraying the Hispanic community. Senate President Mike Haridopolos had tapped Flores, chairwoman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and one of only three Hispanic GOP senators, to carry the bill. But under relentless pressure from Democracia and with little public support from the Senate leadership, she handed Voters will decide whether to repeal religious aid ban BY BILL KACZOR The Associated Press TALLAHASSEE — Voters will have a chance to repeal Florida’s ban on using public funds to aid churches and other religious organizations by passing a ballot proposal that received final legislative approval Friday on a close Senate vote. It is one of seven proposed state constitutional amendments lawmakers have put on the November 2012 ballot during the annual legislative session that was ending Friday. Repeal advocates argued the no-aid provision is antireligious bigotry and a threat to existing state-funded services provided by schools, hospitals and other entities with religious affiliations. Opponents called that a scare tactic. They pointed out the ban hasn’t stopped that funding since it was put in the Florida Constitution more than a century ago. The amendment (HJR 1471), though, would go beyond repealing the ban. It would add a provision to the Constitution saying people couldn’t be barred from par- ticipating in public programs because they’ve chosen to receive those benefits from religious organizations. “This primarily will help our state to help the most vulnerable in our state by working with those organizations that are not providing religious services but providing human services,” said Sen. Thad Altman, a Viera Republican who sponsored the measure in the Senate. Opponents argued that language would open the door to state funding of questionable groups. “This measure would write into the Florida Constitution the unfettered right of individuals to direct state dollars to religious extremists that espouse ... virulently anti-Semitic, racist and other extremist views,” said Senate Democratic Leader Nan Rich of Weston. The final vote came on a largely party line 26-10 roll call in the Senate, with Republicans in favor and all except one Democrat, Sen. Gary Siplin of Orlando, against. The margin was just two votes more than the minimum needed. The amendment passed 81-35 in the House. off the task. “Prior to our ads, the thinking was this is a done deal,” Mursuli said. “The bill was barreling through the Legislature.” Hundreds of immigrants and their supporters also flooded the Legislature to oppose the bill, and many business leaders also lobbied against it behind the scenes. Haridopolos then tapped Sen. J.D. Alexander, chairman of the Budget Committee, to press ahead with the bill, saying he hoped Alexander would push for a mandatory E-Verify requirement to match that of the House bill. But Joyce Tarnow of Floridians for a Sustainable Population called the selection of Alexander to push for E-Verify disingenuous, because Alexander is a leader in the agriculture industry, which generally opposes the program. “Haridopolos absolutely, totally let us down,” she said, adding, “Haridopolos was trying to play both ends against the middle. “He got elected with the help from the Tea Party people, and they’re going to work really hard to make sure he’s not elected” to the U.S. Senate. Tarnow vowed her organization and others would now turn their efforts toward passing a federal law to make the E-verify program mandatory.

US increases inspection posts Obama honors assault forces Federal authorities on Friday opened seven new inspection booths for commercial traffic heading north to the U.S. from Mexico, nearly doubling capacity at the bridge that’s the busiest commercial port on America’s southwestern border — and a prime smuggling corridor for drug gangs. U.S. Customs and Border Protection says the new posts will ease wait times on Laredo’s World Trade International Bridge, where more than 4,800 18-wheelers rumble into American territory daily. The $5.4 million project also bolsters inspection of big-rigs that smugglers can cram with cocaine, marijuana or amphetamines hidden among regular cargo. It includes two additional new lanes for “secondary inspection,” an area with sniffer dogs where customs agents can provide extra screening. President Barack Obama has met with the assault forces who carried out the strike on Osama bin Laden and has awarded them a presidential citation. The White House says the president, along with Vice President Joe Biden, met privately with the troops at Fort Campbell, Ky., to thank them for their service.

Her husband, Patrick Mercer Hogan, tells the Los Angeles Times that Mercer died April 27 of Alzheimer’s disease complications. Besides her 1969 Broadway hit “Promises, Promises,” Mercer won praise for the 1978 revival of “Stop the World, I Want to Get Off” co-starring Sammy Davis Jr. On television, she starred in the ABC-TV comedy “It’s a Living” from 1980 to 1982. She also had roles on “St. Elsewhere,” “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” and “Love, American Style.” Businesses now hiring at fastest pace since 2006 The Associated Press WASHINGTON — American companies are on a hiring spree. Businesses delivered a jolt of strength to the economy by creating 268,000 jobs in April, the biggest monthly total in more than five years. The gains were solid across an array of industries, even beleaguered construction. It was the third month in a row of at least 200,000 new jobs. The private sector has added jobs for 14 consecutive months. Even a slight rise in the unemployment rate to 9 percent appears to be a quirk. The job growth was better than economists expected and perhaps the strongest sign yet that what they call a “virtuous cycle” has taken hold: When people spend more, corporate earnings rise, leading to more hiring and then more spending. Companies have added more than 200,000 jobs for three months in a row. “This was really a good report because ultimately it is all about jobs,” said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. “More and more, it is looking as if the recovery is on track despite the headwinds it is facing.” Those include higher prices for crude oil and gas. But energy prices fell sharply earlier this week, apparently reflect- TONY DEJAK/The Associated Press Yuri Kyryk, 25, paints window frames on new condominiums Friday in Pepper Pike, Ohio. ing lower consumption in the United States and a stronger dollar. Analysts think the price of gas may have peaked for the summer at about $4 a gallon. The rise in the unemployment rate, to 9 percent in April from 8.8 percent the month, was the first increase since November. But it appeared to be because of a temporary disparity in two surveys the government uses to track jobs. Wall Street was pleased by Friday’s report from the Labor Department. The Dow Jones industrials rose more than 150 points shortly after the open- ing bell. The Dow closed up 55 points, or 0.4 percent. Businesses added jobs in April across the economy. Retailers, factories, financial companies, education, health care and the construction industry all reported gains. And the government said the job gains it reported for March and February turned out to be even stronger than previously thought. Private employers have now added jobs for 14 straight months. Economists say companies are paying for new hires by starting to spend some of the almost $2 trillion in cash that businesses stockpiled after the recession ended in June 2009. Analysts have said the use of corporate cash reserves is the most effective way to strengthen the job market. Once again, governments at the federal, state and local levels all cut jobs — 24,000 in April. Counting those cuts, the economy as a whole added 244,000 jobs last month. The private-sector job gains were the most since February 2006. “It is a sigh of relief: Economic momentum has not been lost,” said Sung Won Sohn, economist at California State University. He said he was surprised that energy prices hadn’t scared businesses away from hiring more. President Barack Obama, refocusing on the economy after a week in which the killing of Osama bin Laden had dominated his agenda, said the figures were a sign that “we are regaining our footing.” “We’ve made this progress at a time when our economy’s been facing some serious headwinds,” the president told workers at a transmission plant in Indiana. He cited high gas prices BOSTON — Immigrant advocates are praising a decision by Massachusetts’ highest court that they said could help restore full subsidized health care to thousands of legal immigrants living in the state. A 2009 decision by the legislature to deny coverage to legal immigrants was the first major rollback to Massachusetts’ their immigration status, any attempt to deny benefits to “resident aliens” should be held to the strictest judicial scrutiny possible. The court also appeared to reject a key cost-cutting argument that lawmakers used in 2009 when they decided to block legal immigrants from the Commonwealth Care health plan. The plan provides subsidized care for those earning up to three times the federal poverty level.

Over the past year, wages have grown 1.9 percent, while inflation has come in at 2.7 percent. There was no evidence that the disaster in Japan, which disrupted supplies of some car parts, led the U.S. auto industry to cut jobs last month. All three Detroit car companies have been hiring at factories and in engineering departments. Among the companies using more of their cash to hire is Amazon.com. It’s also spending more on new facilities, including plans to add 10 distribution centers this year. A warehouse in Washington state will create several hundred jobs, and a customer service center in West Virginia will add 200 jobs. Even with last month’s burst of hiring, 13.7 million people remained unemployed in April. That’s double the number when the recession began in December 2007. 340945 BY JEANNINE AVERSA 8A THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ SATURDAY, MAY 7, 2011 FLORIDA KEYS UPWARD AND ONWARD Photos by TERRI BRENTNALL/The Citizen Sandra Harry makes sure her son, Dwayne Harry, looks picture-perfect before the family duo officially graduates Friday evening.

The Coast Guard flew over the area Friday afternoon but did not find any more survivors, only one dead whale, said Karrie Carnes, spokeswoman for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Volunteers constructed the 50-foot-wide sea pen out of yellow boom and plastic fencing to corral the survivors Thursday night. That makes 13 whales that have died in the shallows near Tarpon Belly Key. Some carcasses had bite marks, indicating they had been attacked by sharks. Bull sharks are known to feed in that area. For the next several days, volunteers will stand in the water and buoy the surviving whales. Trained volunteers will tube feed the whales a mixture of water, Pedialyte and possibly antibiotics. National Marine Fisheries Services veterinarians took blood samples and examined the surviving whales Friday to assess their health and determine their treatment, Carnes said. Officials were awaiting the results of the samples. It was not known Friday evening if the Marine Mammal Conservancy would take the survivors to its Key Largo facility, which can accommodate as many as 15 whales but has a federal permit to house only six, Carnes said.

Their rehabilitation could take months. In 2003, 28 whales stranded in the Content Keys off Big Pine Key in April; the five survivors were not released back into the wild until August. Why whales and dolphins beach themselves is not known. Some scientists speculate that with certain species, an old or sick bull will head into the shallows to keep his blowhole above water, and the rest of the pod will follow, accidentally getting stranded, said Doug Mader, a Marathon veterinarian who for years has worked on stranding operations with the Marine Mammal Conservancy. Pilot whales are particularly social animals that move in large pods. Pilot whales, which are jet black or very dark gray, live far offshore and rarely come into nearshore waters. They can range in size from 16 to 20 feet and weigh more than 1,000 pounds.

MIKE HENTZ/The Citizen A capacity crowd at Rex Weech Field cheers on the Conchs on Friday night. 4A regional finals against nationally ranked Archbishop McCarthy. Unfortunately for the home fans, there was no post-game celebration this time. The Conchs hung tight with the visiting Mavericks — who are the defending 4A state champions and are currently ranked No. 4 in the country by Baseball America — before Archbishop McCarthy broke open a two-run game in the sixth inning by sending 13 batters to plate and scoring nine runs to pull away for a 12-1 victory and end Key West’s season. The game was called after the sixth due to the 10-run mercy rule, the first time that the Conchs have been a victim of the mercy rule this season. “We couldn’t find a way to stop the bleeding,” Key West coach Miguel Menendez said of the ill-fated sixth inning, which started with the Conchs trailing, 3-1. “They’re a good team and they took advantage. They just found a way and kept battling. That’s why they’re ranked No. 4 in the country, I guess. We were right there, though. We just ran out of gas.” MIKE HENTZ/The Citizen Key West second baseman Joseph Varela can’t make the play at second on Friday night in the Conchs’ season-ending 12-1 loss to Archbishop McCarthy. The Mavericks (26-3) jumped to a quick 2-0 lead when starting pitcher Alex Fernandez helped his own cause by blasting a one-out, tworun homer to the football bleachers in straightaway center. Conchs freshman starter Darren Miller, however, struck out the next two batters — he struck out three in the first inning — to prevent any further damage. Key West (17-10) answered back in the bottom of the first by taking advantage of a rare McCarthy mistake. No. 2 batter Tommy Ruffennach reached on a walk with one out and then advanced to second on a single in the next at-bat by Michael Henriquez. Cleanup hitter Johnny Monsalvatge hit a slow tapper back to the mound in the following at-bat, but Fernandez made an errant throw to first that allowed Ruffennach to score from second. With Miller at the plate still with one out, however, Fernandez induced a 1-3-2 double play as the Mavericks threw out Henriquez at the plate to end the inning and escape the jam. Fernandez never really ran into trouble from there as he went the distance and allowed just three hits — all singles — and struck out four over six innings.

Chris Johnson and SeaSquared Charters. The trio did a great job wrangling the snappers and put a good catch together that included a monster 25.25-inch flag yellowtail along with a bunch of its 14-inch cousins. Weekly Tides: See the weather map, Page 2A Fish Bites: Tarpon are still biting around all the Florida Keys bridges. Live mullet and live crabs have been the bait of choice. Mahi mahi are thick in all depths, usually schoolie-size, but once in a while a surprise “big boy” shows up, including a 66-pounder in Islamorada. The snapper bite continues to please everyone with consistent catches in 25 to 100 feet oceanside. — C.J. Geotis We Want You: If you have an outstanding catch or fishing news to report: Email: wjacobson@keysnews. com Today’s News: Redbone marks $1,000,000 year for CF funding ISLAMORADA — The Redbone’s 22nd annual “Fruits of our Labors” cookout, celebrating its hard work and money raised through its 2010 series of tournaments for cystic fibrosis research, takes place from 6 to 8 p.m., Saturday, May 14, at the Lorelei. More than $1,000,000 was raised from last fall’s 2010 Redbone trilogy of Keys tournaments — plus 25 other Redbone fishing events across the U.S., the Bahamas and Mexico — and those efforts will be celebrated as part of the cookout on Lorelei Beach, Mile Marker 82 bayside. The BBQ cookout will be offered to the first 100 people at $15 per person or is free when making a $100 dona- tion for a super raffle ticket which benefits CF Research. The super raffle drawing to be held at sunset is for a Dragonfly Boatworks 16-foot Emerger skiff complete with a 40 hp Evinrude outboard, Power-Pole and a Float-On Trailer. Ticket holders need not be present to win. There will also be a silent auction and live entertainment by Big Richard and the Family Fun Band. Tickets are available at The Redbone Gallery on Morada Way at MM 81.5 or at the Lorelei Cabana Bar. For more information, call 305-6642002 or go to www.redbone. org Since the inception of the Redbone in 1988, the Florida Keys charity has raised $10 million. “In the last five years we’ve held a steady pace of raising over $1 million annually,” said Redbone founder Capt. Gary Ellis who now oversees the 28 events. The Redbone (REDfish and BONEfish) began as a small local Keys tournament to help CF patients like Gary and Susan Ellis’ young daughter, Nicole. The late Major League Baseball Hall of Fame slugger Ted Williams, then an Islamorada resident, helped the Ellises attract many of his celebrity friends and through the efforts of guides, anglers and volunteers they raised $16,000 at that first event. Within four years it had grown to three fall season tournaments in the Lower, Middle and Upper Keys.

It was Bohme’s final stroke that made the difference in the outcome of the game. She cracked a walk-off single, scoring Fatz Yaniz for the narrow win. Garrett Beam thumped a three-bagger and singled twice, Angie Koogler drove in three runs on a double and two base hits and Michelle Citon also gapped a two-base hit and two base hits to lead Rum Dogs at the plate.

WALTHAM, Mass. — Paul Pierce has figured out how to help the Boston Celtics play better during the final minutes of their next playoff game against the Miami Heat. He’s going to stick around. Pierce was ejected from the series opener with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and in Game 2 he strained his left Achilles’ tendon in the first half and was still hobbling down the stretch. He knows that Boston’s chances of avoiding a 3-0 hole depend on his ability to stick around at the end, and he plans to be there. “Paul Pierce being in the game in the fourth quarter, healthy, is always going to help the Celtics,” he said before practice on Friday. The Heat took the first two games of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals in Miami, and the series resumes with Game 3 tonight in Boston. For these Celtics, who have never fallen behind 0-2 since the New Big Three was assembled in the summer of 2007, it’s a crucial game to avoid what could be an insurmountable hole. “We still feel like it’s going to be a seven-game series,” Pierce said. “I like our chances, especially with our backs against the wall.” The Celtics have reason to be optimistic that they can at least make a series of it. T h e y are back at home, where this Claude Gardner carried the big stick for Key West Hammock, driving in four runs on a single and inside-the-park homer, Susana Rivero and Thomas Haas both smacked a two-base hit and a base hit, Brandi Ortiz, Bridget Woods, Tony Santagate, Veronica Brown, Jose Santiago and Jessica Wybensinger drilled two singles each as Augie Barcenas, Tony Duran and Dona Rosado each whacked a base hit. For Better Than Sex, Corey Wybensinger and Tina Godfrey singled three times apiece, Becki Balcer, Bobcat Mathews and Tara Smith each baked up two singles, Dezarae Rogers and Fatz Yaniz both doubled and Jenny Carson and Josh Horton each added a base tart. Kelly Moon and George Mensah singled three times apiece, Dave Campos tripled and drilled a pair of base hits for three RBI and Marissa Ludwig hammered three base hits to lead Dons’ Place at the plate. Art Singly doubled as Kristin Hanson, Larry Strickland, Ashley Boland and Jon Honza each banked a base hit. Lauren Lamar led Southernmost Resort with a double and two singles, Acey Gieda and Sam Foxworth both ripped two singles, Becki Balcer doubled and Christian O’Neil, Erin Zeller, Jeff Merritt, Dezarae Rogers and Fatz Yaniz all slugged a single. SHANNA KEY VAGABONDS 20, GHOST TOURS 17 RON COOKE/The Citizen Doc Rivers Boston coach core is 29-7 in the playoffs, and they expect to be healthier than they have been in a while, thanks in part to the three days off since their Game 2 loss. That will help Ray Allen, who has a bruised chest from being elbowed by LeBron James, and Rajon Rondo, who has a stiff back. Pierce said his Achilles’ is fine, and coach Doc Rivers said he expects to have Shaquille O’Neal coming off the bench for the first time in the postseason. O’Neal has played just 5 minutes, 29 seconds since Feb. 1 because of a leg injury. “Other than that, we don’t know what he can give us on the floor,” Rivers said, adding that O’Neal would not be limited in practice. “There’s no way we can get him at 100 percent. That ship has sailed. That would be a miracle. But we can get him to a point where he can help us.” O’Neal came to Boston for just this time of year, but he missed the sweep of the New Yo r k TUESDAY NIGHT LEAGUE KEY WEST HAMMOCK 12, BETTER THAN SEX 7 Conchs Continued from page 1B DONS’ PLACE 9, SOUTHERNMOST RESORTS 3 Stick & Stein batter Melissa Pietruszka makes contact with a pitch Tuesday night against Shanna Key Vagabonds. “There’s no way we can get (Shaquille O’Neal) at 100 percent. That ship has sailed. That would be a miracle. But we can get him to a point where he can help us.” Michelle Citon was 5-for-5 with a triple and four RBI, Eddie Griffiths drove in four runs on a double and three base hits, Jim Guynn tripled and nailed three singles and Tarzan Hanak cracked four singles to pace Shanna Key at the plate. Stan Adamcik and Julia Gonzalez hammered three hits each, Judy Tomita (double) and Vanessa Kreider each clouted two hits as Ken Dispenza doubled and Petra Hagenah singled. For Ghost Tours, Dezarae Rogers was 5-for-5, Tina Godfrey blasted a shot into Virginia Street and singled twice, plating four, Garrett Beam and Becki Balcer (3 RBI) hoisted two hits each, Dan Smith doubled and singled, Liana Pyne drilled two base hits and Bob Prosser and Eric Whitten both singled. Compiled by Ron Cooke [email protected] Henriquez and Ruffennach, who each finished 1-for-2, and Miller, who went 1-for-3, accounted for Key West’s hits. Despite never being able to get going at the plate, the Conchs remained in striking distance until the sixth. Miller, in an unusual twist of fate, struck out cleanup hitter Nick Travieso to begin the sixth, but Travieso reached on a dropped third strike and later came around to score to get the big inning started. Miller was chased with two outs in the sixth after allowing back-to-back RBI doubles to the McCarthy Nos. 8 and 9 batters. He was relieved by J.P. Malott, who gave up four hits and five runs with two walks before finally getting the third out. With the bases loaded, Ivan Santos — the 12th batter of the inning — blasted a three-run triple to push the lead to 12-1 and put the Conchs in danger of the mercy rule. “It was tough,” Menendez said. “We know we’re better than it being 12-1, but things just didn’t go our way tonight. We knew we had a shot if we could keep it close, but that sixth inning just took the air out of us.” Miller (2-2) went 52⁄3 innings and was charged with seven runs on nine hits with seven strikeouts. The loss ended the careers of six Key West seniors, including three who started Friday night. Henriquez, Monsalvatge and Clinton McCoy, who all started, wrapped up their careers along with Malott, Cameron Henry, who entered as a courtesy runner against the Mavericks, and Frankie Grizzle-Malgrat. Menendez had a lengthy on- Knicks in the first round and the first two games against Miami because of a calf injury in his right leg. The Celtics originally called it a “minor” injury, and he has been dayto-day from month-to-month, but he hasn’t gotten back on the court. “We don’t know what to expect,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. “Shaq is a champion. He’s a guy who has won four rings. He’s had a lot of big playoff moments. Having him back is going to be a boost in energy to the crowd and to the team. But it’s our job to go in and continue executing our game plan and not really worry about who’s coming back, who’s in the lineup and who isn’t.” The defending Eastern Conference champions, Boston won it all in 2008 and took the Los Angeles Lakers to seven games in the NBA finals last year. The Celtics cruised through the Knicks in the first round for their date with Heat — a matchup that had been anticipated ever since James and Chris Bosh joined Wade in Miami to form the league’s newest superteam. But to get past them, Boston will have to do something its has never had to do before: Rally from two games down in the playoffs. “The whole thing’s a challenge,” forward Kevin Garnett said. “Our mentality is an all-in mentality for (tonight’s) game ... This is it. We’ve used all our lifelines.” I hate to say it like that, but it’s true. This is not a cool, kind of, ’Keep your composure.’ No, this is ’We’ve got to get the next game.’ It’s all-in. This is it, I’ve got two pocket kings and I’m all in.” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra would expect nothing less. field discussion with his team after the final out, while about 300 fans hung around to give the team a standing ovation as the players left the field. “I told them they have a lot to be proud of,” Menendez said of the talk. “I know this was frustrating and they’re disappointed and hurt, and that’s understandable, but at the end of the day they have a lot to be proud of. There wasn’t a whole lot of people that believed in us or believed that we would win a district title or get to this point. I told them to look at all the people that were here. They came to see them. They won that and earned the respect of the people in this community who came to watch them play. I’m proud of them. It’s going to hurt now, but when they get time to look back and reflect, they’ve got a lot to be proud of.” [email protected] 4B THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ SATURDAY, MAY 7, 2011 SPORTS HORSE RACING: KENTUCKY DERBY (TODAY, 6:24 P.M.)

The loss of the biggest name in a field already short on star power makes the race even more wide open. Owner Mike Repole announced the decision to scratch the colt Friday morning, about 40 minutes before Derby wagering opened. Uncle Mo was the 9-2 second choice on the morning line. His absence reduced the field for the Derby to 19 horses. Dialed In was the 4-1 early favorite. Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia revised the morning line to make Dialed In the 9-2 favorite. In 2009, favorite I Want Revenge was scratched on the morning of the Derby with a career-ending leg injury. A week before last year’s Derby, heavy favorite Eskendereya dropped out with a bad ankle. “It shows how tough our business is and how unfortunate it is, too,” said Dialed In trainer Nick Zito, superstitiously knocking on a wood sign on his barn. “We all would have liked to see him run.

Uncle Mo was scratched from today’s 137th Kentucky Derby. 12 in the Derby, lost his mount on Uncle Mo. He was then named to ride Animal Kingdom, replacing Robby Albarado, who broke his nose in a spill earlier this week. Ramon Dominguez will be aboard Stay Thirsty. Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert empathized with Pletcher, having lost two of his other Derby contenders, The Factor and Jaycito, on the road to the Derby. “You’re never safe until you put that saddle on because anything can happen,” said Baffert, who will saddle Midnight Interlude. “Everybody says there’s no woofing in your sport. That’s because we don’t want to jinx ourselves. You woof afterwards, when you win.” Pletcher, who trained Eskendereya, still won his first Derby last year with long shot Super Saver. “Honestly, I’ve never had a horse as good as Uncle Mo,” he said. “To not make it here is a big letdown. I take it as a personal failure.” Uncle Mo’s illness, which began as a gastrointestinal inflammation, was discovered after he was upset as the heavy favorite in the Wood Memorial on April 9. He led most of the way before finishing third, beaten by a length. The colt was put on medication, which Pletcher said helped initially, and he continued training in preparation for the 11⁄4-mile Derby, the opening leg of the Triple Crown series. On the track during workouts, Uncle Mo appeared to be in good form, and Repole said the colt was 100 percent sound. He “galloped like a monster” Friday morning, Pletcher added. Around the barn, though, he was showing signs that something was amiss. His appetite was lower, he lost weight and his coat didn’t look good, Pletcher said. “We’ve got something going on inside that I don’t know what it is. The best vets in the world don’t know what it is,” the trainer said. “When you don’t know, that’s when I get scared.” Three vets examined Uncle Mo on Thursday and didn’t say the colt couldn’t run in the Derby.

I’m willing to give this horse the best resources to come back. He is a superstar.” Pletcher said Uncle Mo had a GI infection, but no one is sure if it was the main issue or a secondary problem. The colt’s blood work showed a specific enzyme was elevated, and the vets couldn’t explain why. “They’re baffled,” Repole said. “That’s what gets us nervous the most.” For now, Uncle Mo will remain at Churchill Downs and may visit a clinic for another diagnosis. Pletcher decided Thursday that Uncle Mo shouldn’t run and Repole agreed. Both defended the decision to enter the horse on Wednesday, which ensured that Sway Away would be excluded from the field, limited to 20 starters. “We weren’t trying to prevent someone else from entering. We needed every minute to try to figure this out and we ran out of time,” Pletcher said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PETR DAVID JOSEK/The Associated Press Derek Stepan, left, celebrates with his United States teammate Craig Smith after scoring against Canada during their qualification round group F World Championships match Friday in Kosice, Slovakia. Canada goes to shootout to beat United States, 4-3 BY KAREL JANICEK The Associated Press KOSICE, Slovakia — Jordan Eberle and captain Rick Nash scored in a penalty shootout to lift Canada to a 4-3 victory over the United States in the second round of the ice hockey world championship on Friday. Canada goalie James Reimer made 17 saves and stopped Jack Johnson and Blake Wheeler in the shootout. “It was difficult, they have a good team, they work hard and they proved that,” Nash said. “It’s a great rivalry... It was a tough game, but we enjoyed it.” Ty Conklin made 49 saves for the U.S. Canada is tied with Sweden for the Group F lead with seven points and plays Norway today, while the U.S. has four points with two more games left. The U.S. faces France next in a mustwin game. “Satisfied? Not really,” Johnson said. “It’s a loss, no matter how it looked... it was a loss.” Canada outshot the U.S. 52-20 in the game and 14-4 in the first period, but couldn’t immediately find the net. After a scoreless first period, Mike Komisarek scored what looked like a soft goal from inside the blue line to give the U.S. a 1-0 lead 4:13 into the second. Reimer said he would probably never concede a goal like that again. Brent Burns equalized two minutes later, but Blake Wheeler set up the second U.S. goal later in the period, with Jack Johnson scoring on a breakaway. Canada came back again through John Tavares, who scored 3:27 into the third, and took the lead when Jason Spezza scored on a power play. Derek Stepan tied the game with 8:43 remaining, forcing overtime with his first goal of the tournament. Marlins Continued from page 1B Washington’s Jordan Zimmermann gave up two runs in six innings. Reliever Tyler Clippard struck out all six batters he faced. Florida starter Ricky Nolasco struck out 11 and allowed two runs in seven innings. Nolasco fanned four of the first five batters before Ivan Rodriguez singled and came home on a double by Hairston. The Nationals made it 2-0 in the fourth when LaRoche led off with an infield single and later scored on Ian Desmond’s sacrifice fly. Florida scored in the fifth on a single by Greg Dobbs, a double by John Buck and a sacrifice GERRY BROOME /The Associated Press Pat Perez tips his visor on the 18th green following his second round at the Wells Fargo Championship on Friday at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C. SPANISH OPEN TERRASSA, Spain — Thomas Aiken shot a 4-under 69 to take a one-stroke lead in the Spanish Open, overshadowed by news about Spanish great Seve Ballesteros’ worsening health. Aiken, from South Africa, had an 8-under 136 total. Spain’s Pablo Larrazabal (70) was second, and countryman Alvaro Velasco (70), Frenchman Romain Wattel (71), England’s Anthony Wall (70) and Scotland’s Scott Jamieson (71) were 6 under. fly by Omar Infante. With one out and the Nationals anticipating a bunt by Nolasco, a missed sign left Buck stranded off third in a rundown, and he was tagged out. The Marlins made it 2-all with a run in the sixth. Emilio Bonifacio walked, took third on a single by Hanley Ramirez and scored on a single by Gaby Sanchez. Florida’s Logan Morrison took batting practice for the first time since hurting his left foot April 19. He’s expected to go on a brief rehabilitation assignment and may rejoin the Marlins for their next trip beginning May 13. Werth stole second base in the eighth but had to return to first because the batter, LaRoche, hit catcher Buck in the helmet with his bat following through on his swing. Buck fell to the ground but stayed in the game. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ SATURDAY, MAY 7, 2011 HOROSCOPES for today Saturday, May 7, 2011 Be friendly to all new people you meet in the next year, because several folks whose thinking and morals closely parallel yours could become very valuable friends and could contribute greatly to your happiness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There are indications that you could quickly overreact to something a friend does that you find objectionable. Later when you calm down, you’ll realize you took it the wrong way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -It’s always wise to take measures to safeguard your valuables, but you might need to be especially careful to do so currently. Don’t leave your house or car unlocked, even for a short time. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- This could turn out to be a very bad day for rehashing volatile issues with anybody, but espe- 5B KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIED BRIDGE TIPS cially your mate. Once you open Pandora’s box, you’re not likely to be able to close it again. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Regardless of the adverse conditions with which you may have to contend, do everything you can to maintain a positive attitude. Succumbing to a negative reaction could make matters worse. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Correct any misunderstanding you have with a friend immediately. If you allow it to fester, you could start thinking about evening the score somehow, which would only make matters worse. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you find yourself in a position of authority, don’t do anything to make others think you’re throwing your weight around. Heavy-handed tactics will boomerang on you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Try to stay on the straight and narrow, because any broad mood swing will distort your judgment and throw you way off-course, making you either too pessimistic or unrealistic. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t take on any new long-range financial obligations if you can help it. If things do not go the way you think, it would put you in a severe financial bind. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If the very people who are usually quite supportive of your actions are opposed to what you want to do, take a second look at matters. They may see things you don’t. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be sure to take the time to maintain good relationships with co-workers by praising their accomplishments if they’ve done something special. Don’t let them feel taken for granted. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Taking a financial risk on a venture or enterprise that is considered chancy could knock the stuffing out of your wallet. Make sure you are in control of matters, not the other way around. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Regardless of how upset you might get over a remark or action of a loved one, don’t speak out on it in front of outsiders. Resolve all domestic rumbles within the confines of your home. Which card collects takes your seven with his 10 declarer. Note what happens. and runs the club jack. When South probably covers with the most tricks? you duck, he continues with his queen, but your partBy Phillip Alder Doc Searls, a columnist and author, wrote in his blog, “We play the hands of cards life gives us. And the worst hands can make us the best players.” At the bridge table, the defenders usually have the worst hands, but sometimes those limited resources are sufficient to defeat the contract. Occasionally, though, a defender must know which of his cards to lead at the key moment. In this deal, you are East. Against three no-trump, your partner leads the diamond five, fourth highest from his longest and strongest. South the club 10, your partner discards the diamond three, and you win with your king. What would you do now? South was a tad aggressive in jumping to three no-trump, but he liked his secondary club fit. Even if you had won the first club trick, it would have been silly to return a diamond. Should you now shift to spades, or to hearts? Given South’s initial response, a spade looks like the better bet. However, which spade should you lead? Since you expect partner to have only four spades (surely with 5-5 in spades and diamonds, he would have led a spade), you should lead the spade jack. You must both unblock the suit and be able to lead twice through ner wins with his ace and returns the spade four to your king. Now you lead the two through South’s eight-six into the jaws of West’s nine-seven. Pretty!

He was killed in a car accident, and I am now a 23-year-old widow. I was in the passenger seat when he died. I sustained multiple injuries, but none as great as the massive anxiety I can’t seem to shake. I have had a great deal of support from friends and family. However, two months after my husband died I began talking to “Brian,” a family friend who is going through a divorce. We’d stay up for hours talking about the things we were going through. I have developed love for Brian that is beyond anything I have felt before, built on a great deal of strength and heartache. We moved fast because of our mutual need to have someone there for us. I feel guilty, however, that I have this relationship so soon after my husband’s death. On top of all this, I have huge anxiety, the result of guilt, PTSD and my fear of abandonment. I feel isolated because I’m so much younger than most widows I meet. Also, because I have the complicating factor of Brian’s divorce (with two kids) going on now, I’m afraid my anxiety will never decrease. I can’t reject the love I have for him. We’ve been there for each other through a time of great hardship. I want to be able to relax and enjoy it, not stress out and destroy it. Can you give me any advice? -YOUNG WIDOW IN PAIN DEAR YOUNG WIDOW: Allow me to offer my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband. After what you have been through, it’s understandable that you would experience the feelings you have been having. But if you are going to move on in the right direction, I urge you to discuss your current situation with a mental health professional -- preferably one who specializes in post-traumatic stress and anxiety. While it’s wonderful that you have met someone so soon, I urge you to make no permanent decisions for at least a year. You and Brian can support each other, but each of you is needy right now, and that’s not a basis for a healthy relationship. With time, the anxieties will ease and what’s causing them will lessen. If you’ll forgive the baseball vernacular, my advice is to bunt rather than try to swing for a home run now. It will improve your odds of not striking out. DEAR ABBY: My wife likes to sunbathe in the nude in our side yard. Anyone walking by on the sidewalk, or riding by on a bike or in a car can easily see her over our 3-foot-tall picket fence. She is a beautiful woman and has nothing to be ashamed of, but knowing strangers can see her in the buff makes me uncomfortable. She says I should get over it. Should I? -EMBARRASSED ON ELM STREET DEAR EMBARRASSED: Your wife assumes that your neighbors and passersby are as open-minded as she is. Please remind her that if a mother should walk by with a child, she could be deeply offended, call the police and your sun-worshipping wife could be charged with indecent exposure. A tall hedge in the front of your side yard would screen her from public view. Please consider it. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.
