Fla. murder trial FORT LAUDERDALE — Jury selection began Monday for two men accused of murder in the mob-related 2001 slaying of a South Florida businessman, a case that weaves together reputed New York gangsters, a once high-flying Washington powerbroker, gambling on the high seas and the former operator of a mattress store chain who is now a key prosecution witness.

Officials increase yearly yellowtail catch Adrift divers rescued BY TIMOTHY O’HARA Citizen Staff Federal fishery managers soon will increase the overall annual catch allowance for one of the Florida Keys most economically important and tasty fish — yellowtail snapper. The increases will not affect the current daily bag limits for recreational or commercial fishing, National Marine Fisheries Service spokeswoman Allison Garrett said. Instead, the new regulations increase the total allowable yellowtail catch from 2.1 million to 3.03 million pounds, according to federal fishery managers. The commercial limit will increase from 1.1 million to 1.5 million pounds. The recreational limit goes from 1 million to 1.4 million pounds, fishery managers said. The National Marine Fisheries Service will publish a rule change in the Federal Register Wednesday announcing the increase in the allowable catch for yellowtail snapper in the jurisdiction of the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, which runs from North Carolina to Florida. The rule will go into effect Sept. 12, Garrett said. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, which See YELLOWTAIL, Page 3A Coast Guard, FWC have busy week offshore BY GWEN FILOSA Citizen Staff The Coast Guard and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission wrapped up a busy week Sunday when it came to missing divers and boating accidents. Within seven days, six divers in four incidents required rescue when each drifted away from respective boats, said Ensign Peter Bermont on Monday. The Coast Guard typically receives one or two missing diver calls in a week, Bermont said. “It stands out because of so many in so few days,” Bermont See BOAT WRAP, Page 3A TIM O’HARA/The Citizen Two federal fishery management councils with jurisdiction in the Florida Keys will increase the annual catch limits for yellowtail snapper starting next month. Daily bag limits will not increase. Ninety percent of all yellowtail in Florida is caught in the Keys. BY GWEN FILOSA Men cited for 249 illegal lobster tails BY ADAM LINHARDT Citizen Staff State wildlife officers reported the first large over-the-limit case of the lobster season after finding nearly 400 frozen tails in a Cudjoe Key home Saturday.

Retreat.” “Providing for the homeless is like chumming for fish; the more you put out, the more you attract.” “Police Chief Donie Lee says everyone needs to be courteous and let people pull out on the boulevard. I’m trying to pull out of a gas station right now and a female cop in an SUV police car looks at me, pulls up and doesn’t let me in. Great job, let’s start with your own, Donie.” “Why can’t the city of Key West build a YM and YWCA instead of a homeless center? Let’s get smart.” KEY WEST 5-DAY FORECAST TODAY This photo from the DeWolfe and Wood Collection shows Count Carl Tanzler von Cosel at his building on Flagler Avenue around 1940.

Your friend, Gil Billy.” “The recent front-page article says the guy entered the women’s shower saying, ‘You know you want this.’ Well, she had ordered food. He probably had the sandwich in his hand when he said that.” “I have been an active artist here in Key West for more than 10 years, but you seem to make deliberate actions to exclude me. I just wonder if you think it’s funny to imagine yourselves the harbingers of good taste to choose to make yourselves look good to the smoothie inside artist community that you seem to cater to.” “It’s madness to convince your employer you are good enough and it’s madness to convince the government you’re unemployable.” TONIGHT TAVERNIER - A 48-year-old man tried to throw his drinking buddy into the path of an oncoming ambulance Saturday night outside Mariner’s Hospital after having slashed the same man’s thumb with a box cutter, according to reports from the Monroe County Sheriffs Office. Mark Peto, an unemployed boat washer, was jailed on suspicion of felony aggravated assault, felony aggravated battery and misdemeanor battery for the Saturday night incident. Ambulance driver James Griffith said he swerved around the duo, as one had the other in a headlock, deputies reported. The incident report listed the ambulance, as well as the box cutter, as a weapon. Peto told authorities he only had his pal, Guy Cooley, 51, in a bear hug because he was trying to get him into the hospital for treatment of an injured thumb. The ambulance driver and a security guard, however, told deputies they watched Peto try to throw Cooley in front of the ambulance as it was leaving the back driveway of the hospital, 91500 Overseas Hwy. The victim told deputies he and Peto had been drinking beer underneath the movie theater, which is next door to the hospital, when Peto attacked him with the box cutter, slashing his left thumb. Cooley said Peto had tossed the box cutter into the lake behind the movie theater when Cooley started walking to the hospital. Cooley said Peto grabbed and started choking him as he entered the hospital’s driveway.

Overton had sought a new trial last year, alleging new evidence and other mitigating factors had come to light. Circuit Court Judge Mark Jones denied the request, saying Overton’s arguments were “wholly inappropriate,” “meritless” and “his guilt remains overwhelming,” according to the 14-page ruling Jones released in April 2012. The Supreme Court on Monday upheld Jones’ denial of another trial. Overton killed Michael and Susan MacIvors and their unborn baby, and raped Susan, who was eight months pregnant. He also was convicted of burglarizing their Upper Keys home. Overton lost previous appeals in 2005 and 2007. A Stock Island man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of stealing fishing gear from a boat docked at Safe Harbor Marina. Felipe Fonseca, 42, admitted to deputies that he stole rods and reels valued at about $1,600 on July 16 but refused to give up his accomplice, the Sheriff’s Office said Monday. The theft occurred sometime in the early morning hours of July 16. The victim found four fishing rods and reels missing from his boat. Video surveillance cameras in the area caught two men on camera stealing the rods and reels. Fonseca faces charges of felony burglary and felony grand theft.

That increase will go into effect Sept. 3, according to federal fishery managers. The Gulf Council does not split the catch between recreational and commercial segments. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Florida Marine Research Institute completed a stock assessment of yellowtail in May 2012 that found the species healthy and in non danger of being overfished, FWC biologist Joe O’Hop said. “The assessment results suggest the Continued from Page 1A not going to rape you!” the man screamed into his 16year-old daughter’s ear as he held her in a headlock, according to police reports released Monday. Thomas Michael Valente, 36, faces felony charges of domestic battery by strangulation and a felony count of criminal mischief for the Friday morning incident that disrupted the 2800 block of Harris Avenue. Valente had been released from jail four days earlier, having posted $25,000 bond for an Aug. 1 felony arrest on suspicion of selling methamphetamine. He remained jailed Monday for the new charges in lieu of bond set at more than $1 million. Friday was his ninth arrest in Key West in the past decade. Police arrived Friday to find a naked man lying on his side choking a young girl from behind as two people tried to pry him off. “Hurry, he’s killing her!” yelled one of the people, who police learned was one of the girl’s grandparents, reports said. ing six people sunk. A Good Samaritan pulled everyone to safety, FWC and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office reported. At 1:30 p.m. off of Plantation Key, a woman was cut on the thigh by a boat propeller. She had been lobstering, then started to climb aboard a boat that was still in gear. She was treated at Mariner’s Hospital. “She got one large cut to the thigh and received a bunch of stitches,” said Officer Bobby Dube, FWC spokesman. [email protected] Valente wouldn’t let go until Officer Frank Duponty Tasered him in the arm, but the naked Valente then started chasing a neighbor, who had come over to help, reports state. A second Taser shot to the back knocked Valente to the ground, where he was handcuffed. Before the teen was attacked, Valente took a broom out of his mother’s hands and used it to pin her against a wall of her home by her throat, reports said. Then he went after his own daughter when she appeared, police said. “Every time my grandparents or someone said ‘stop’ he squeezed tighter,” the 16year-old told police later at the hospital. “I felt like I was going to die.” She couldn’t break free from the headlock her father put her in, she told officers. Valente’s stepfather, Michael Olanoff, told police he felt that his stepson’s intention was to choke his own daughter to death. He said he and his wife tried but could not break Valente’s hold on the girl’s airway. Olanoff, 53, a local cab driver, said he awoke to find his stepson naked in his living room “forcibly” holding his wife down on the floor, reports said. That’s when Valente’s daughter came out of her room and Valente went after her, screaming, “She’s the good one! She’s the one!” as he dragged her outside, police said. “Olanoff stated that Valente has been using crystal methamphetamine for the past year,” Officer Tiffany Beeman wrote in her report. The girl has lived with her grandparents, who have legal custody, since 2005. Valente told police he is a roofer by trade, but his arrest paperwork said he is unem- ployed and has no home address. Two neighbors separately saw him running naked down Harris Avenue, yelling and cursing. One witness said he was working in his garage when he heard noise and looked out in time to see a man stripping off his clothing and running to the Olanoffs’ home.

All were found unharmed but the rash of diving scares prompted the Coast Guard to issue a strong reminder to locals and visitors to always have a plan, use a diver-down flag even if it’s not required and keep an eye on one another. “It really comes down to being vigilant on the water,” Bermont said. One diver bobbed around in the waters north of Fleming Key for almost three hours Sunday evening before rescuers pulled him to safety. That rescue involved a search by water and air, as the Coast Guard launched a search plane from Miami, said Bermont. By 8:05 p.m., a Coast Guard officer spotted through binoculars a diver waving his catch net in his direction.

Ninety percent of all yellowtail caught in Florida comes from the Florida Keys, said Bill Kelly, executive director of the Florida Keys Commercial Fishermen’s Association. The fishery supports 100 full-time fishermen and 175 part-time fishermen in the Keys, Kelly said. Many recreational charter fishing captains take their clients yellowtail fishing in late summer and early fall, after the dolphin fishing slows down. “This is one of the most economically important fin fish in the Florida Keys,” Kelly said.

The annual catch limit increase comes after fishery managers considered closing the yellowtail fishery early in 2012. Last year was the first year that an annual catch limit had been established for yellowtail, and the first year the fishery was in jeopardy of closing. National Marine Fisheries Service announced in August 2012 that the annual commercial yellowtail quota in the Atlantic had nearly been reached, and that the commercial fishery would be closed Sept. 11 through Jan. 1.

CLARIN/PUBLISHER TOM TUELL/EDITOR RALPH MORROW/SPORTS EDITOR THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 2013 OPINION NANCY SCHMOHL BECKWITH ROBERT CINTRON JR. KEN DOMANSKI SHIRLEY FREEMAN TODD GERMAN Romney looking better in the rearview mirror t is, perhaps, only fitting that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney chose a New Hampshire event to make his first public appearance after last November’s election defeat at the hands of President Barack Obama. Romney was the primary attraction at a state GOP fundraiser attended by about 200 party faithful in Wolfeboro on Aug. 6 and, even better, he came bearing gifts. Romney and The Granite State go back a long way, to at least 1997, when the thenCEO of Bain Capital bought a large waterfront house on Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro. Just over 10 years later, Romney finished second to John McCain in the 2008 New Hampshire presidential primary in what was merely a warm up to 2012, when he carried the state Republican primary with 39 percent of the vote in a large field. That helped catapult Romney to his party’s nomination and last fall’s bruising general-election defeat to Obama, a contest that Romney — by all accounts — thought for sure he would win right up until election night. Romney faded into the background afterward, granting a few interviews but making no public political appearances before Tuesday. According to remarks released by his office, Romney told the donors that “I’m probably not the first person you’d ask for advice,” given the results of the last election. “But because we all learn from our mistakes, I may have a thought or two of value.” He did, taking aim at those Republicans who think refusing to raise the debt ceiling — resulting in a possible government shutdown — might be a worthwhile trade-off if it chokes off funding for Obama’s Affordable Care Act. “I badly want Obamacare to go away, and stripping it I Editorial of funds has appeal. But we need to exercise great care about any talk of shutting down government,” said the former Massachusetts governor. “What would come next when soldiers aren’t paid, when seniors fear for their Medicare and Social Security, and when the FBI is off duty?” Bad idea, said Romney, without mentioning senators Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz or Mike Lee, among three who are pushing the strategy. “I’m afraid that in the final analysis, Obamacare would get its funding, our party would suffer in the next elections, and the people of the nation would not be happy,” he said. “I think there are better ways to remove Obamacare.” If it’s true that candidates somehow have a way of looking just a little better in the rear-view mirror, Romney may be only the most recent example of that. And it’s a view enhanced by the fact that the man who defeated him seems to be spinning his wheels, unable to extricate himself from the mud of Washington partisanship. But Romney’s comments also are consistent with a man who can now speak his mind because he no longer is in courting mode. He always conducted himself with a dignity that reflected well on his party — even if he was always viewed with a certain amount of suspicion by the party’s far right wing — but he’s no longer encumbered with the weight of being a suitor. That alone makes him particularly valuable in the role of party fundraiser and sensible consiglieri, even if his remarks in Wolfeboro aren’t likely to allay the suspicions of those conservatives within the GOP who never really trusted him. — The Nashua (N.H.) Telegraph Letters to the editor Homeless center will attract more homeless I find the discussions around the homeless situation in Key West to be circuitous and the conclusion that the solution is a 24/7 center to be illogical. If new arrivals at Keys Overnight Temporary Shelter are to be believed, Key West is a desired destination for the homeless — the beaches, the ambience, the climate, and the presence of KOTS. If the residents of KOTS are representative of the homeless population in Key West in general, yes, we can estimate that 95-plus percent come from outside the area. Using that sample again, 95 percent of that 95 percent are not interested in gainful employment or bettering their situation, especially if it means jeopardizing their benefits checks. They accept their lot. Given these facts, I do not understand the rationale for a 24-hour facility that will have relevant support services in situ. By making a 24-hour facility, we will be making Key West an even more desirable destination, and thus compound an already untenable situation. We should be looking for ways to make Key West less attractive as a destination, not more. Thomas Harris Key West Bioidentical hormones have health benefits The letter by Dr. Valle regarding bioidentical hormone relief therapy (BHRT) is degrading to us women who are adults and make a personal choice with our well-being. Our choice to use traditional/non-bioidentical versus bioidentical hormones is an experiment either way. My research before starting this regimen was thorough. I am 53 years old, in cessation of menses over the last year and half and have been on this treatment for the last two years with amazing results. My last two mammograms and pap smears have been normal and no more suffering due to night sweats, hot flashes and more importantly mood swings. My personality was so extreme to the point of frequent bouts of yelling and crying. How wonderful since starting BHRT to feel youthful, beautiful and simply calm again. Menopause is a natural progression and a tough ride. [The doctor was] not factual when talking about the Women’s Health Initiative study that had to be halted in 2002. Yes, it was dispelled because of adverse health conditions that developed among many of the subjects. [She] failed to mention that the subjects of the study were limited to postmenopausal women with a combined average age of 68 years old. These two factors are significant — most of the women studied had been in a state of hormonal decline or complete loss of hormones for 15 years or more, putting them at risk for the development of diseases that estrogen, progesterone and testosterone could have prevented if administered earlier in their lifespan. Also, the WHI study used traditional/non-bioidentical hormones, not bioidentical hormones, for therapies administered to these subjects. I am retested by urine, not saliva, every six months locally to keep the perfect dosage of hormones. Ladies, please research the Women’s Health Initiative study (WHI) and you will find much on BHRT and disease prevention, heart disease, breast cancer and osteoporosis.

KRISTOF The New York Times f you want to understand all that is wrong with America’s criminal justice system, take a look at the nightmare experienced by Edward Young. Young, now 43, was convicted of several burglaries as a young man but then resolved that he would turn his life around. Released from prison in 1996, he married, worked six days a week and raised four children in Hixson, Tenn. Then a neighbor died, and his widow, Neva Mumpower, asked Young to help sell her husband’s belongings. He later found, mixed in among them, seven shotgun shells, and he put them aside so that his children wouldn’t find them. “He was trying to help me out,” Mumpower told me. “My husband was a pack rat, and I was trying to clear things out.” Then Young became a suspect in burglaries at storage facilities and vehicles in the area, and the police searched his home and found the forgotten shotgun shells as well as some stolen goods. The U.S. attorney in Chattanooga prosecuted Young under a federal law that bars ex-felons from possessing guns or ammunition. In this case, under the Armed Career Criminal Act, that meant a 15-year minimum sentence. The U.S. attorney, William I Killian, went after Young — even though none of Young’s past crimes involved a gun, even though Young had no shotgun or other weapon to go with the seven shells, and even though, by all accounts, he had no idea that he was violating the law when he helped Mumpower sell her husband’s belongings. In May, a federal judge, acknowledging that the case was Dickensian but saying that he had no leeway under the law, sentenced Young to serve a minimum of 15 years in federal prison. It didn’t matter that the local authorities eventually dismissed the burglary charges. So the federal government, at a time when it is cutting education spending, is preparing to spend $415,000 during the next 15 years to imprison a man for innocently possessing seven shotgun shells while trying to help a widow in the neighborhood. And, under the law, there is no early release: Young will spend the full 15 years in prison. This case captures what is wrong with our “justice” system: We have invested in mass incarceration in ways that are crushingly expensive, break up families and are often simply cruel. With less than 5 percent of the world’s population, the United States has almost onequarter of the world’s prisoners. This hasn’t always been the case, but it is the result of policies such as mandatory minimum sentences since the 1970s. In 1978, the United States had 307,000 inmates in state and federal prisons. That soared to a peak of more than 1.6 million in 2009. Since then, the number of inmates has declined for three consecutive years to 1.57 million in 2012. The number of juveniles detained has also begun to drop since peaking in 2000, although the United States still detains children at a rate five times that of the next highest country. In short, there’s some hope that this U.S. experiment in mass incarceration has been recognized as a failure and will be gradually unwound. Among the leaders in moving away from the old policies are blue states and red states alike, including New York and Texas. But America still has twice as many prisoners today as under President Ronald Reagan. Almost everyone seems to acknowledge that locking up vast numbers of nonviolent offenders is a waste of money. California devotes $179,400 to keep a juvenile in detention for a year, and spends less than $10,000 per student in its schools. Granted, mass incarceration may have been one factor in reduced crime in the last couple of decades; there’s mixed evidence. But, if so, the economic and social cost has been enormous — including the breakup of families and the increased risk that children of those families will become criminals a generation later. There’s also contrary evidence that incarceration, especially of young people, doesn’t work well in preventing crime. One careful study of 35,000 young offenders by Anna Aizer and Joseph J. Doyle Jr. reached the startling conclusion that jailing juveniles leads them to be more likely to commit crimes as adults. Milder sentences, such as electronic monitoring and home detention, were actually more effective at preventing adult crime. Alternatives to incarceration are both cheaper and more efficient. Youth Villages has an excellent record of working with troubled youngsters and their families, and of keeping them from committing crimes. So do some job-training and education programs. Mass incarceration has been particularly devastating for blacks and members of other minority groups, as well as for the poor generally. In this case, Edward Young is white. Conservatives often argue that there is a link between family breakdown and cycles of poverty. They’re right: Boys are more likely to get into trouble without a dad at home, and we have a major problem with the irresponsibility of young men who conceive babies but don’t raise them. We also have a serious problem with the irresponsibility of mass incarceration. When almost 1 percent of Americans are imprisoned (and a far higher percentage of men of color in lowincome neighborhoods), our criminal justice system becomes a cause of family breakdown and contributes to the delinquency of a generation of children. And mass incarceration interacts with other government policies, such as the way the drug war is implemented, to have a disproportionate effect on African-Americans. Black men use marijuana at roughly the same rate as white men but are more than three times as likely to be arrested over it. Young is particularly close to his children, ages 6 to 16. After back problems and rheumatoid arthritis left him disabled, he was a stay-at-home dad while his wife worked in a doctor’s office. When the judge announced the sentence, the children all burst into tears. “I can’t believe my kids lose their daddy for the next 15 years,” his wife, Stacy, told me. “He never tried to get a firearm in the 16 years I was with him. It’s crazy. He’s getting a longer sentence than people who’ve killed or raped.” Young’s lawyer, Christopher Varner, of Chattanooga, is appealing the sentence and says he is shaken by the outcome. “It’s shocking,” he says. “That’s not what we do in this country.” I asked Killian, the U.S. attorney, why on earth he would want to send a man to prison for 15 years for innocently possessing seven shotgun shells. “The case raised serious public safety concerns,” Killian said. Oh. The classic caricature of justice run amok is Inspector Javert in Victor Hugo’s novel “Les Misérables,” pursuing Jean Valjean for stealing bread for hungry children. In that case, Valjean knew that he was breaking the law; Edward Young had no idea. Some day, Americans will look back and wonder at how we as a society could be much more willing to invest in prisons than in schools. They will be astonished that we sent a man to federal prison for 15 years for trying to help a widow. Nicholas D. Kristof is a syndicated columnist with The New York Times.

CLERMONT, FLA. LOS ANGELES Gunman shoots bus driver Casino owner stiffed US on taxes ‘Hyperloop’ would link LA-SF A gunman barged onto a bus and shot the driver during rush hour in busy downtown Seattle on Monday, sparking a foot chase that ended when he ran onto another bus carrying about 15 people and was cut down when an officer fired through the windows, authorities said. The officers had to make a “life-anddeath” decision about whether to shoot the suspect on the second bus, Seattle Assistant Police Chief Paul McDonagh said. “I believe they made the right choice,” he said. The wounded, 67-year-old driver was in satisfactory condition at Harborview Medical Center, and the suspect was in critical condition, hospital spokeswoman Leila Gray said. Their names were not immediately released. A New Jersey man is charged with failing to pay taxes on nearly $4 million in earnings from a casino he owned in Trinidad. David Migliore made an initial appearance Monday in federal court in Newark. He’s charged with failing to pay taxes on about $3.9 million in income for 2009, 2010 and 2011. The U.S. attorney’s office says Migliore owned the Island Club Casino in Trinidad, as well as several limited liability corporations in New Jersey. The 50-year-old Brielle resident faces three counts each of tax evasion and failing to file personal income taxes. Migliore didn’t enter a plea and has another court appearance scheduled for next week.

The baby was born via surrogate. Hobson is Lucas’ second wife. She is presiLucas dent of Ariel Investments and chairman of the board for DreamWorks Animation. Lucas also has a 32-yearold daughter, a 25-year-old daughter and a 20-year-old son. He was previously married to film editor Marcia Lou Griffin. FORT LAUDERDALE — Jury selection began Monday for two men accused of murder in the mob-related 2001 slaying of a South Florida businessman, a case that weaves together reputed New York gangsters, a once high-flying Washington powerbroker, gambling on the high seas and the former operator of a mattress store chain who is now a key prosecution witness. If convicted of firstdegree murder, Anthony “Big Tony” Moscatiello, 75, and Anthony “Little Tony” Ferrari, 56, could both get the death penalty. Prosecutors say the pair orchestrated the shooting death of Konstantinos “Gus” Boulis, a self-made Greek immigrant who became wealthy after founding the Miami Subs sandwich chain and operating the SunCruz Casinos gambling fleet. The case, one of the oldest in Broward County, has taken 12 years to get to trial in part because the two Tonys weren’t arrested until 2005. Lengthy legal wrangling and reassignment of judges also played a role. A third man arrested in the case, James “Pudgy” Fiorillo, pleaded guilty last year to murder conspiracy charges and is expected to testify against his former cohorts. Prosecutors say they will establish that Moscatiello was a member of New York’s Gambino crime family — once headed by John Gotti — and that he and Ferrari used that connection to rub out Boulis during a power struggle over the lucrative SunCruz gambling ships. Before he was slain, Boulis had sold SunCruz to former Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his partner BY GARY FINEOUT The Associated Press TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s insurance commissioner says there are reasons why homeowner rates in the state are not coming down despite reports that insurers are starting to save money on one of their biggest expenses. And he said that in some instances rates may still go up since some companies have spread increases out over several years. Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater last week asked Kevin McCarty to explain to him why costs have not been dropping this year. Florida hasn’t been hit by a hurricane since 2005 and industry reports point out that the cost of reinsurance has dropped by 15 percent to 20 percent this year. Insurers purchase reinsurance to provide financial backing in case of major claims. McCarty wrote Atwater last Friday and told him that in some cases insurers are purchasing additional reinsurance instead of passing on the savings to homeowners. He said there is no “firm rule” on how much must be purchased and that rating agencies are requiring some insurers to buy more coverage. “While the average reinsurance cost might have decreased this year, not every insurance company will experience a drop in its reinsurance costs,” McCarty wrote. He also added that there hasn’t been enough time for insurers to reflect the sav- lived in the Howard Beach section of Queens in New York and how often he visited Florida as part of his SunCruz duties. He said he paid his own way to fly to South Florida in 2002 to give a statement to police investigating the Boulis murder and that he was never told he was a suspect. “The only thing they told me was that my name came up in the investigation of a homicide,” Moscatiello said. Kidan, who is not implicated in the Boulis killing, testified at a 2012 hearing that Moscatiello told him that he was behind the slaying. According to Kidan, the plan was initially to only talk with Boulis or possibly kidnap him. “He said it was a decision that he made, that just had to be done,” Kidan testified, referring to his meeting with Moscatiello. Police also have cellphone evidence that places Ferrari and Fiorillo within 500 feet of the site of Boulis’ killing, and evidence that one phone was used to call Moscatiello a short time after the slaying. Fiorillo testified that he took a black Ford Mustang used in the killing to a body shop and that he tossed the weapon, a .380-caliber handgun, into a South Florida river. It hasn’t been recovered. The trial is expected to last several weeks. Ferrari has been jailed since the men were arrested in September 2005. Moscatiello, however, has been free on $500,000 bail ✬✬✬✬✬ NEW YORK — Jessie Mueller has nabbed a beautiful Broadway role — she’ll be playing celebrated songwriter Carole King in a new musical about the woman who wrote such hits as “It’s Too Late” and “You’ve Got a Friend.” Producers said Monday that Mueller, who was last on Broadway opposite Matthew Broderick in “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” will lead “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical,” which starts previews Nov. 21 at the Steven Sondheim Theatre.

McCarty did add that some insurers have indicated they plan to reduce rates in some parts of the state. Insurers are required to update their rates once a year. But he also noted that some companies have chosen “to transition large rate increases” over a number of years meaning that a price hike “may be still be warranted.” McCarty also warned that that reinsurance reductions do not “translate into a oneto-one reduction” in rates. He said that one company recently proposed dropping its rates by 8 percent despite having its reinsurance costs go down by nearly 20 percent. Atwater’s office did not immediately respond for comment on Monday. But last week Atwater said that Floridians needed to see a reduction in their insurance bills. The cost of insurance has been hotly debated on the campaign trail and in the Legislature for years. Annual reports prepared by Florida’s Office of Insurance Regulation show that the department has been approving more than 100 rate hikes a year since 2009, including requests to raise rates by double-digits. Industry officials argue that insurers in the past did not charge adequate rates to deal with the real risk of covering homes in hurricane-prone Florida. The fragile nature of the market has been exposed by storms such as Hurricane Andrew in 1992, a Category 5 storm that destroyed much of the South Florida city of Homestead, and the series of storms that battered the state in 2004 and 2005.

Abramoff and Kidan would later plead guilty to federal fraud charges in connection with the $147.5 million purchase of SunCruz and serve federal jail time. Although Abramoff is on the Boulis prosecution’s witness list, it’s not clear whether he will testify. Abramoff also was one of 21 people convicted in a Washington bribery scandal, which prompted Congress in 2007 to pass a law restricting gifts from lobbyists. Boulis, 51, was shot to death at the wheel of his green BMW shortly after leaving his Fort Lauderdale office Feb. 6, 2001. Prosecution witnesses are expected to testify that the slaying was committed by John Gurino, who Kidan said in a sworn statement was brought from New York by Moscatiello for the job. Gurino himself was later fatally shot in a dispute with the owner of a Boca Raton delicatessen. The defense won one legal skirmish Monday when Circuit Judge Ilona Holmes ruled that the four-year statute of limitations had run out on a charge of solicitation to commit murder against both Moscatiello and Ferrari. The two remain charged with first-degree murder and murder conspiracy; they have pleaded not guilty. Prosecutor Greg Rossman said the state will appeal Holmes’ ruling while the trial continues. He said jury selection is expected to take most of this week, and Holmes said jurors may be sequestered because of heavy media attention. Moscatiello briefly took the witness stand Monday to describe how long he has NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — Darius Rucker has hit the top of the charts both as frontman for Hootie and the Blowfish and as a country artist. And now, he has a street named after him. Rucker The street leading to the North Charleston Coliseum in South Carolina where Hootie and the Blowfish played in the 1990s shortly after it opened was renamed Darius Rucker Boulevard on Monday. Rucker grew up in the Charleston area and was on hand for the ceremony along with North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey. Rucker says he may return to the coliseum this fall to play a country set. But first he plays with Hootie and the Blowfish next week at the Family Circle Stadium on Daniel Island.

It was about life and death.” Rene Palomino, also a defense attorney with the Office of Criminal Conflict, praised Jones after the sentencing. “Thank God we have judges LeBaron Continued from Page 1A jurors he hatched a plan with his former girlfriend, Kirsten Whitmore, to kidnap Gardner, torture him into giving up his financial information and then steal his boat Flo to Me before sailing to freedom in Belize. Whitmore is serving an 18-year sentence as part of a September 2009 plea agreement that called for her to testify against LeBaron. She told jurors she hadn’t planned on killing anyone, and LeBaron’s actions forced the couple to cancel their plans for Belize. She testified she heard Gardner beg for his life in the darkness of the boat cabin. Dr. Ronald Wright, a forensic pathologist called by the defense, testified during a special hearing after LeBaron’s May 1 conviction that Gardner likely was unconscious when LeBaron stabbed Gardner three times in the head and nine times in the chest. Monroe County Medical Examiner Dr. E. Hunt Scheuerman, who testified for the state, disputed Wright’s assessment, saying a determination of Gardner’s consciousness during the stabbing could not be made based on the evidence. Photos by ROB O’NEAL/The Citizen Circuit Judge Mark Jones said the murder of Richard Gardner was committed by a ‘pathetically weak, cowardly and disturbed’ man, before sentencing LeBaron to life in prison without the chance for parole. Even before stabbing Gardner, LeBaron had knocked out seven of the victim’s teeth and shattered his upper and lower jaws. With their potential money source dead, the couple fled in Gardner’s car to Utah, where they were arrested and extradited to Key West. “The court did a diligent effort assessing evidence in this case and we’re satisfied the court gave its best effort and we believe a life sentence is a very long sentence and will serve the community well,” said State Attorney Catherine Vogel. “We have great respect for the court’s difficult decision in this case.” “I think Jones tried to be fair in all the decisions in this case and today was no different,” said Chief Assistant State Attorney Manny Madruga, who prosecuted LeBaron alongside Assistant State Attorney Val Winter. Defense attorney Kellie Peterson, with the Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel, argued against death during the penalty phase. Jonathan LeBaron enters Circuit Judge Mark Jones’ courtroom to hear his fate Monday. Mob boss guilty in 11 killings Continued from Page 1A Hillsboro, Mo. and Nicholaus P. Thompson, 28, of Marshall, Mo., were all cited for seconddegree misdemeanor possession of over-the-limit lobster. The maximum penalty for a second-degree misdemeanor is $500 in fines in 60 days in jail. “Come on vacation and leave on probation,” Dube said of the case Monday. “It’s our first big case of the season.” The investigation began when another boater gave two officers a tip that the men were poaching lobsters, so officers waited at the canal on Saturday and conducted a boat safety and wildlife inspection, reports say. Finding no lobsters aboard, the officers asked if they could search the house, reports say. Inside the house, officers reportedly found 133 onequart bags in two separate freezers, each bag containing three wrung tails for a total of 399 tails. Lobster season began on Aug. 6 and state law allows each recreational angler six lobsters per day as per state law. That means the five men would have been allowed 150 lobsters total. All five men provided written statements to the officers and “four of the statements state that once they harvested their limit they would return to the dock, have lunch and go back out and harvest another limit of lobster,” the reports state. Florida spiny lobster season runs from Aug. 6 through March 31. [email protected] BY DENISE LAVOIE AND JAY LINDSAY The Associated Press BOSTON — James “Whitey” Bulger, the feared Boston mob boss who became one of the nation’s most-wanted fugitives, was convicted Monday in a string of 11 killings and dozens of other gangland crimes, many of them committed while he was said to be an FBI informant. Bulger, 83, stood silently and showed no reaction to the verdict, which brought to a close a case that not only transfixed the city with its grisly violence but exposed corruption inside the Boston FBI and an overly cozy relationship between the bureau and its underworld snitches. Bulger was charged primarily with racketeering, which listed 33 criminal acts — among them, 19 murders that he allegedly helped orchestrate or carried out himself during the 1970s and ‘80s while he led the Winter Hill Gang, Boston’s ruthless Irish mob. After 4½ days of deliberations, the federal jury decided he took part in 11 of those murders, along with nearly all the other crimes on the list, including acts of extortion, money laundering and drug dealing. He was also found guilty of 30 other offenses, including possession of machine guns. Bulger could get life in prison at sentencing Nov. 13. But given his age, even a modest term could amount to a life sentence for the slightly stooped, white-bearded Bulger. As court broke up, Bulger turned to his relatives and gave them a thumbs-up. A woman in the gallery taunted him as he was led away, apparently imitating machine-gun fire as she yelled: “Rat-a-tattat, Whitey!” Outside the courtroom, relatives of the victims hugged each other, the prosecutors and even defense attorneys. Patricia Donahue wept, saying it was a relief to see Bulger convicted in the murder of her husband, Michael Donahue, who authorities say was an innocent victim who died in a hail of gunfire while giving a ride to an FBI informant marked for death by Bulger. Thomas Donahue, who was 8 when his father was killed, said: “Thirty-one years of deceit, of cover-up of my father’s murder. Finally we have somebody guilty of it. Thirty-one years — that’s a long time.” He said that when he heard the verdict, “I wanted to jump up. I was like, ‘Damn right.’” “Today is a day that many in this city thought would never come,” said U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz. “This day of reckoning has been a long time in coming.” She added: “We hope that we stand here today to mark the end of an era that was very ugly in Boston’s history.” She said Bulger’s corrupt- ing of law enforcement officials “allowed him to operate a violent organization in this town, and it also allowed him to slip away when honest law enforcement was closing in.” Bulger attorney J.W. Carney Jr. said Bulger intends to appeal because the judge didn’t let him argue that he had been granted immunity for his crimes by a now-dead federal prosecutor. But Carney said Bulger was pleased with the trial and its outcome, because “it was important to him that the government corruption be exposed, and important to him to see the deals the government was able to make with certain people.” “Mr. Bulger knew as soon as he was arrested that he was going to die behind the walls of a prison or on a gurney and injected with chemicals that would kill him,” Carney said. “This trial has never been about Jim Bulger being set free.” Bulger, the model for Jack Nicholson’s sinister crime boss in the 2006 Martin Scorsese movie “The Departed,” was seen for years as a Robin Hood figure who bought Thanksgiving turkeys for fellow residents of working-class South Boston and kept hard drugs out of the neighborhood. But that image was shattered when authorities started digging up bodies. Judge: SeaWorld trying to comply with safety goals BY MIKE SCHNEIDER The Associated Press ORLANDO — SeaWorld Orlando has made a good faith effort to comply with new workplace safety goals following the death of a trainer who was drowned by a killer whale in 2010, a judge said in an order obtained by The Associated Press on Monday. SeaWorld met a deadline to have new safety procedures in place that were recommended by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, said the order written last week by Judge Ken Welsch, an administrative law judge. Those measures include allowing trainers to only work with killer whales if there’s a physical barrier between them and creating a minimal distance between trainer and whale. SeaWorld officials had asked for an extension so they could consult outside experts, but the request was denied by federal workplace safety officials. Trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed in February 2010 when the six-ton killer whale, Tilikum, grabbed her and pulled into the water. Separately, in another order written last week, Welsch said that SeaWorld couldn’t keep its new safety protocols a secret. SeaWorld officials had asked that the protocols on working with killer whales be kept sealed, saying they were proprietary business records. But Welsch ruled against them, writing that members of the public who see SeaWorld’s killer whale shows will be able to figure them out. The judge said the protocols would remain sealed until a review of his ruling by the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. Last year, Welsch ruled that physical barriers between trainers and killer whales are a viable way to prevent hazards to workers at SeaWorld. He issued the order in response to Sea World Orlando’s appeal of two citations issued by OSHA for the death of Brancheau. He also reduced OSHA’s fine against SeaWorld Orlando to $12,000 from $75,000 and changed a “willful” citation to “serious.” SeaWorld has appealed last year’s ruling to a federal appellate court in Washington, D.C. SeaWorld and federal work-safety officials are engaged in courtordered mediation as part of SeaWorld’s appeal.

New-look Ravens defense coming along nicely OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees likes what he’s seen thus far from a unit that has seven different starters from the team that won the Super Bowl last February. Six of the top eight tacklers in last season’s playoffs are gone. The list includes Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Bernard Pollard, Cary Williams and Paul Kruger. Pees believes the new-look defense will excel after it corrects some of the problems that often occur at this stage of training camp, most notably communication among the players in game situations. Pees says that, and too many penalties, were the defense’s most notable flaws in last week’s 44-16 preseason win over Tampa Bay. He said Monday, “I like the way we’re working, but we’ve got a long way to go.” Rays claim LHP Wesley Wright from Houston ST. PETERSBURG — The Tampa Bay Rays have bolstered their bullpen, claiming durable lefty Wesley Wright off waivers from the Houston Astros. The Rays made the move Monday. Tampa Bay is in the thick of the races for the AL East and the wild-card spots. Wright is expected to join the Rays for Tuesday night’s home game against Seattle. The 28-year-old Wright is 0-4 with a 3.92 ERA and leads AL relievers with 54 appearances. He has struck out 40 in 41 1-3 innings with 16 walks. Wright pitched in 77 games last year. He has spent six seasons in the majors, all with Houston, and was the longest-tenured player on the last-place Astros. Florida’s Garcia, Thurman cleared to practice GAINESVILLE, — Banged-up Florida is getting a little healthier on offense. Offensive linemen Max Garcia (back) and Trip Thurman (shoulder) were cleared to practice Monday, giving the Gators a couple big bodies back for fall practice. Guard Jon Halapio, who has a partially torn pectoral muscle, is still out at least another week. And running back Matt Jones remains sidelined while recovering from a viral infection. Coach Will Muschamp says team doctors “just gotta be careful with his condition there.” Fullback Hunter Joyer pulled a hamstring in practice Sunday and will be out at least 10 days. And safety Jaylen Watkins (sprained foot) won’t practice this week. The Gators opened fall practice without four offensive starters. Halapio and Jones are still, but Jones is the only one without a return timetable. BY J.W. COOKE Citizen Staff Writer Q: No winter sport for you? What do you mean you hopefully will make it to track? A: I’m usually injured by then, so hopefully I can make it there. I always get started and then something always happens. Q: Which events? A: I usually do the 400 (meter dash), and I’ve done pole vaulting, hurdles, high jump and I just get thrown into some other stuff too. I definitely like hurdles and high jump the most and I want to get back into pole vaulting. Q: How long have you been playing your other sports? A: Basketball I’ve been playing my whole life and in sixth grade I started on an actual team. Volleyball I started my freshman year. I tried it my eighth grade year but I was really bad, the worst player out there, but I still tried again in my freshman year and I got a lot better. Now I fell in love with it and it’s my favorite sport. Q: Rating all those sports and academics, what’s most important in your life? A: Most important is academics, but after that it’s mainly volleyball. I play on the beach, practice all the time, go to camps, watch it on TV, I just love it. The other two sports I play just for the fun of it – because I’m really athletic and I can’t not do something – so I try to spread it out and play a sport all year round. Q: What goals do you have next year academically or athletically? A: Right now our volleyball team is up in the air, so my goal is just to have a good season and get a lot of wins. Hopefully, we can win districts and move on from there. Q: What are your summer plans to help you reach that goal? A: I started at USF for a one-day skills camp for volleyball. I’ve also been going to the gym everyday and have been playing beach volleyball pretty much every day, so I learned how to play doubles on the beach. I also went to the UF volleyball camp, so my whole summer has been pretty much volleyball. I shot some hoops and have been running, but it’s been a majority of volleyball. I’ve also had a little camp at Boca Chica Gym and had about six or seven girls there that I helped teach to help make the team this year.

A: The coaches at the camps have really taught me the most and I came back killing it. My dad has also pushed me a lot, other than that I’d say I push myself the most. Q: What advice would you give to the next generation of Conchs? A: Never give up. If you like the sport then go for it and don’t be shy about it. If you want help ask anyone and because there are a bunch of people that are willing to help. Always keep a good goal ahead of you. Q: Any place in the world you would like to visit? A: I really want to go to Hawaii, my dad used to live there. I’m going to New Jersey and that’s kind of exciting, because I’ve never been out of Florida and explored anywhere. Q: Do you have any hobbies outside of sports? A: Spear fishing, I’m big on spearfish, also fishing and diving and being on the boat. Q: Do you have any college interests? A: I want to go to HCC (Hillsborough Community College) in Tampa for a year or two and transfer over to a university. Q: If you get a scholarship to play college volleyball, will you take it no matter where the school is located? A: I’m mainly looking for a full ride and usually community colleges will give you full rides. There is a school is San Diego looking at me and they offered me a scholarship, but I don’t really want to go that far. I really would like to stay in Florida, but if San Diego is the only school I could get, I’d probably go for it. Q: Do you have any career aspirations yet? A: I want to be a physical trainer. I want to major in sports medicine and I would like to get really good to where I could work the NFL games or at some professional level — because I’ve had so many injuries, I could relate to them in so many ways. DAVIE — Brian Hartline slipped behind the secondary to catch a long pass in practice Sunday, and when a cluster of young spectators whooped, he looked their way and faked tossing the ball to them, then jogged with it back to the huddle as the kids groaned in disappointment. Two weeks into the exhibition season, the Miami Dolphins’ offense is teasing fans. A hint of the unit’s potential was evident during Friday night’s 27-3 victory at Jacksonville, but most of the team’s scheme remains under wraps. Receiver Mike Wallace is the most heralded newcomer, but while he made his exhibition debut against the Jaguars, quarterback Ryan Tannehill has yet to look his way with the ball. Lamar Miller, the likely starter at running back, carried only will use only half their scheme during the entire preseason. “We run our core stuff,” Philbin said. “In the preseason we’re most concerned about doing a great job evaluating, and executing our fundamentals with plays we know we’re going to run during the year. It’s not going to be a surprise to people. We’re not into trickery or deception right now.” Or getting the ball into the hands of their highest-paid player. Tannehill had a solid performance against the Jaguars, completing five of nine passes for 75 yards and a touchdown, but he never threw to Wallace — or even looked at him.

Jacksonville than in the exhibition opener against Dallas, but that’s not saying a lot. “It was OK. It wasn’t great,” Philbin said. “We have to do a better job in pass protection early in the game. You want to get your quarterback off to a good start and comfortable in the pocket, and that didn’t happen. When the first play is a sack, that’s not the way you want to start a game.” Even so, the win represented progress. It was the Dolphins’ first exhibition victory since 2011, and their most lopsided since 1987. One sign of improvement on offense came in short-yardage situations, a problem area last year. Jonas Gray, who missed last season with a knee injury, scored twice on 1-yard runs. Gray and rookie Mike Gillislee are competing for a roster spot at running back behind Miller and Daniel Thomas, who are battling for the starting job. Pass-catching and blocking will influence those decisions, Sherman said. “We have some pretty good runners, but to be the complete back you have to be able to do all those things,” Sherman said. “That will be the true test.” Notes: Defensive tackle Randy Starks, who has been sidelined by an undisclosed injury, missed practice Sunday. Top draft pick Dion Jordan also sat out after playing only seven snaps Friday, raising speculation his surgically repaired right shoulder remains an issue. 3B THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 2013 SPORTS COLLEGE FOOTBALL AUTO RACING NBA WORLD ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS NFL SEC ok’s 9 bowls Dillon at Michigan 76ers hire Brown Blackmon, Cyprien back The Southeastern Conference has agreed to deals with nine bowl games, adding the Belk Bowl and Texas Bowl to its lineup starting in 2014.

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. — Stewart-Haas Racing has tabbed Austin Dillon to drive Tony Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet this week at Michigan International Speedway. Stewart continues to recover from a broken right leg suffered in a sprint car crash Aug. 5 at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa. Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) continues to field his No. 14 Chevrolet SS in the Sprint Cup Series. It will be Dillon’s 10th Sprint Cup start. PHILADELPHIA — Four months later, the Philadelphia 76ers have a new coach. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Monday the Sixers have hired San Antonio assistant Brett Brown to replace Doug Collins, who resigned in April. New general manager Sam Hinkie took quite a while looking for a replacement before choosing Brown, who was part of three NBA title teams with San Antonio. JACKSONVILLE — Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon and safety Johnathan Cyprien have been cleared to practice. Both projected starters passed physicals Monday and were expected on the field for training camp. Blackmon opened camp on the physically unable to perform list following groin surgery this summer. Cyprien had been on the non-football injury list after tweaking a hamstring during a workout before camp.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NASCAR Stop the presses: not-so-bad Brad passes up win BY JOHN KEKIS The Associated Press TIMOTHY D. EASLEY/The Associated Press Louisville NCAA college football head football coach Charlie Strong reacts to a reporters question during a press conference on the opening day of practice last week in Louisville, Ky. Canes, Cards change signing rules for events BY TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press The fallout from the Johnny Manziel autograph allegations prompted Louisville and Miami to announce changes to their signing policies Monday. At Miami’s annual CanesFest on Saturday, the Hurricanes will be signing only school-issued posters and nothing else. And when Louisville has its Fan Day on Sunday, players won’t be permitted to sign anything in response to what Cardinals coach Charlie Strong called “a national problem.” Both schools said the moves are being made because of ongoing concerns about college athletes and autograph sales, and neither mentioned Manziel by name. ESPN reported earlier this month that Manziel, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, is being investigated by the NCAA amid allegations that he took money in exchange for signing memorabilia. If true, Manziel’s eligibility and Heisman standing would both be jeopardized. “We have monitored the situation closely, and we decided to protect the eligibility of our players and operate under the principle that it not permissible to accept any type of compensation for their autograph or the sale of memorabilia,” Strong said in a statement released through the school. “I know this will disappoint a lot of our fans, especially the young children who look up to our players, but I strongly feel this is the best decision for our football program.” Other schools, including South Carolina and Ohio State, have acknowledged in recent days that they have looked into whether some of their star players — such as Jadeveon Clowney for the Gamecocks and the Buckeyes’ Braxton Miller — broke any NCAA rules by signing memorabilia that others are selling on eBay and in other manners. Miami’s decision to limit player signings to posters that the school will distribute — one per fan who shows up Saturday — would figure to at least slow down anyone who planned to attend CanesFest solely to get autographs for resale. Miami fans have brought items such as photos, shirts, footballs and helmets for players to sign at past events like CanesFest. “As part of the University of Miami’s commitment to NCAA compliance and in light of recent national news, student-athletes will only sign the” poster that will be handed out, the Hurricanes said in a statement. Strong said he’s offering fans something else instead of autographs: Sunday’s planned full-pads practice will be open to spectators. NFL Return of Nicks, Joseph gives lift to Bucs BY DICK SCANLON The Associated Press TAMPA — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are counting on the return of guards Carl Nicks and Davin Joseph to bolster their offensive line. Nicks, who was an All-Pro in 2011, missed the final nine games of 2012 with a toe injury. Joseph, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, missed the entire season after having surgery on his left knee. Although the Bucs are being cautious this summer, both players are expected to be in the lineup for the season opener against the New York Jets on Sept. 8. The 6-foot-5, 349-pound Nicks, who last played on Oct. 25, might see limited playing time at New England on Friday night. “I think I’m going to play this week,” he said Monday. “I’ve got to get some live action on the toe.” The pain persists on the underside of his left foot, and Nicks does not expect it to go away anytime soon. “I might have to deal with it my whole life. So it is what it is, but I have all the confidence in the world that I’ll be playing,” he said. WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — As the reigning Sprint Cup champion, Brad Keselowski’s photo holding the coveted series trophy is on the cover of the media guide NASCAR hands out at races. The venues change, the photo doesn’t, a constant reminder of a great season. With four races remaining until the Chase for the Sprint Cup title begins, Keselowski is back in position to defend, and that has to make both NASCAR and team owner Roger Penske awfully happy. Keselowski finished second on Sunday to Kyle Busch on the road course at Watkins Glen International to move into eighth place in the points. It was Keselowski’s best finish of the season. It could have been better, but he passed up a chance on the final lap to knock Busch out of the way and nab a crucial victory. “In my mind, points are great when you’re in the Chase,” Keselowski said. “Before that, to me it’s about wins, even if you don’t end up in the top 20. I’d rather be a wild card with four or five wins than be the guy in the Chase with zero wins.” The top 10 drivers in the points standings automatically qualify for the 10-race Chase, which begins next month after Richmond. There also are two wild cards, which go to the drivers from 11th to 20th in points who have the most wins. In the event of a tie in wins, points decide the spots. Right now, Kasey Kahne in 12th with two victories and Ryan Newman in 14th has one victory. They would be in if the Chase started today. TOM RYDER/The Associated Press Kyle Busch (18) leads Brad Keselowski (2) during a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at The Glen on Sunday in Watkins Glen, N.Y. Busch won the race and Keselowski finished second. Then there’s Newman’s boss, Tony Stewart, who missed Sunday’s race with a broken right leg and is out indefinitely. He was 11th before Sunday with one victory but dropped to 17th after missing the first race of his Cup career. It’s possible he could return and make a miraculous comeback, though that’s not likely. Keselowski is one of three winless drivers in the top 10 and the most vulnerable. Clint Bowyer is firmly entrenched in second and Dale Earnhardt Jr. is sixth, nearly a full race in points (36) ahead of Keselowski. So, what gives? Why Mr. Nice Guy? Remember, this is the driver who sent Carl Edwards flying at the Talladega finish line while traveling nearly 200 mph to notch his first Sprint Cup victory. Small wonder Edwards’ boss, Jack Roush, wouldn’t answer a question about Keselowski two years ago at The Glen, when the driver of Penske’s blue No. 2 was nursing a broken ankle and still driving at a high level. And it wasn’t so long ago that Keselowski bad-mouthed Busch over the public address system at Bristol after an altercation. There was no love lost there. Then there was last year at The Glen, when Keselowski bumped Busch out of the way on the final lap as they slid around a track surface coated with oil from a blown engine. Busch had what appeared to be a victory snatched away, and though he recovered quickly to finish seventh, in the end that race cost him a berth in the Chase. He was beaten for the last spot by Jeff Gordon in the final laps at Richmond. “It was a really, really sticky situation last year to win here, and it wasn’t all Brad’s fault. There was oil on the track,” Busch said. “But Brad’s the one that spun us out. I figured maybe he could do some of the same again, but he kept it clean.” Keselowski did pull up tight MEDIA PED comment costs Jack Clark, co-host jobs NFL Dolphins’ Wallace wants to lead NFL in receiving BY STEVEN WINE BY JIM SALTER The Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Former St. Louis Cardinals star Jack Clark is out of his sports talk radio job along with co-host after saying Albert Pujols took performance-enhancing drugs. Clark said on the air last week on WGNU in St. Louis that Pujols’ former trainer, Chris Mihlfeld, told him 10 years ago that he injected PEDs into Pujols, the former Cardinals great now in his second season with Pujols the Angels but sidelined by a foot injury. Pujols responded with a vehement denial on Friday night and said he planned to take legal action against Clark and his employers. Early Saturday, the company that owns the show hosted by Clark and Kevin Slaten, insideSTL Enterprises LLC, said in a statement that Clark “is no longer associated with the company,” then later cancelled the show, costing Slaten his job, too. “Any opinions, views or statements made by him (Clark) strictly reflect his own personal views and do not reflect the views of insideSTL,” the statement read. “insideSTL Enterprises, LLC and any related companies have never asserted and do not assert that Albert Pujols has ever used steroids or any other type of performing enhancing drug.” In his statement on Friday, Pujols said he planned legal action to send a message “that you cannot act in a reckless manner, like they have, and get away with it.” As of Monday no lawsuit had been filed by Pujols in U.S. District Court in St. Louis, or in state court in Missouri. to the bumper of Busch’s No. 18 Toyota on the final lap and challenged him all the way to the finish line. There was no bump, though, which was surprising considering the stakes. “I wanted to win the race. We had a shot at it,” Keselowski said. “I could have definitely dumped Kyle and won the race. I didn’t want to do that. There’s racing and wrecking. Those are two different things. “Everybody defines them a little differently, and I guess that’s the code you live your life by,” said Keselowski, whose “Bad Brad” moniker seems a distant memory. “Me? I define last year as racing and some people would define that as wrecking. If I was gonna take out Kyle, it would have been wrecking in my mind, and there’s a distinct difference. “It doesn’t mean there isn’t temptation,” Keselowski said. “But there’s a level of respect and a code of honor that you have to have as a man.” The Associated Press DAVIE — Miami Dolphins newcomer Mike Wallace says he wants to lead the NFL in receiving — and other stuff, too. That’s a lofty goal considering Wallace has yet to catch a pass in the exhibition season. He missed the Dolphins’ first game with a groin injury, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill never looked his way during their brief time on the field in Friday’s victory at Jacksonville. Wallace, who totaled 32 touchdown catches in four years at Pittsburgh, was signed as a free agent in March to upgrade Miami’s mediocre passing game. “I want to lead the league in everything I possibly can,” he said Monday. “If you plan for anything other than that, you’re settling. I want to be the best. I’m not out here to be the second-best or third-best. I want to be the best player in the league. There are some great guys to try and catch, so I have a big-time challenge ahead of me, but I’m up for it. That’s why I’m here.” Even though he has yet to catch a pass in a game for the Dolphins, he said he’s meshing well with Tannehill. “Ryan and I are feeling good about each other,” Wallace said. “You’re not going to see too much frustration out of me. I feel like I’m doing a great job of working on getting to my spots and learning the offense. As long as I know where I’m going and can play fast, I’ll be fine.” Last week Wallace said he’s the fastest player in the NFL, and he looked the part when Tannehill hit him deep for a touchdown during sevenon-seven drills in practice Monday. “When you have a guy with that type of speed, it is exciting to throw the ball downfield,” Tannehill said. 4B THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 2013 KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIED HOROSCOPES for today LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Assumptions will lead to trouble.

Calls accepted 9am to 11am ONLY 305-587-7309 PLAY TOO QUICKLY AND GO DOWN SLOWLY By Phillip Alder To what was this comment referring? “The Chip also reduces the damage done by bandits. They still steal drinks and cheers along the course, but no longer scramble the paying runners’ results. No entry fee, no Chip, no time or place.” For a bridge declarer, it can be a case of no entry card, no contract success -as in this deal. How should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the heart four and East puts up his 10? With all of those aces and kings, that South hand is worth a two-club opening bid even if your range for a two-no-trump opening is a good 20 to 22. South starts with six top tricks: two spades, two hearts (given the lead) and two diamonds. He can establish at least three club tricks, but if the defender with the ace can hold up that card until the third round of the suit, declarer will need a dummy entry. This can be only the heart queen. First, this requires West’s having the heart king. That is highly likely because without the king, West would have probably led the nine from a holding like 9-8-7-42. Second, South must win the first trick with his ace, not with his jack. Then, after driving out the club ace and winning East’s shift, declarer can lead a heart toward dummy’s queen to generate that vital entry. The opening observation was made by Joe Henderson about the Boston marathon. To stop nonentries suddenly seeming to be doing well, each runner has a microchip in his laces. This also gives everyone an accurate startline-to-finish-line time. 220 HELP WANTED LOWER KEYS 220 HELP WANTED LOWER KEYS 220 HELP WANTED LOWER KEYS 220 HELP WANTED LOWER KEYS 220 HELP WANTED LOWER KEYS 220 HELP WANTED LOWER KEYS DESK CLERK Full time at Boyd's Campground.

I guess it could be coincidental. But a friend suggested years ago that it’s my parents letting me know they’re watching over me. I want to believe, yet I feel skeptical at the same time. Have you ever heard of anything like it? -- LIGHTS OUT IN FEDERAL WAY, WASH. DEAR LIGHTS OUT: The only time I have heard of anything like what you’re experiencing has been when I happened to change channels and come upon a television show about the paranormal. More important than what I believe is what you choose to believe. If the reassurance that your parents are watching over you brings you comfort, then I am all for it. DEAR ABBY: This idea may appeal to the parents of young children: Celebrate “half-birthdays.” (The concept is derived from the “Half-Birthday Song” in “Alice in Wonderland.”) A year to a young child is a long time. In addition to recognizing the joy that he/she was born, it’s a start to learning the structure of our calendar. It doesn’t have to involve a big party or gifts, just a special activity day with a parent. Our family has observed halfbirthdays for 45 years and have found it to be a worthwhile tradition. -- FUN MOM DEAR FUN MOM: The title of the song you mentioned is actually “The UNbirthday Song,” but I’m in favor of anything that will bring parents and children closer. If the household is headed by a single working parent, then I’ll bet a grandparent would be delighted for the chance to celebrate that special occasion. 357465 1BR 6630 MALONEY AVE. 7B. $870 per month. 745-1365 or email [email protected] 440 UNFURN. HOUSES LOWER KEYS DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have two wonderful sons who joined our family through adoption. While we don’t broadcast that they are adopted, it sometimes comes up in conversation. When it does, people inevitably ask, “What happened to their ‘real’ parents?” or, “Why were they given up?” I know folks are curious, but these comments are hurtful. The details of my sons’ lives are private, to be shared as they grow in age-appropriate ways. They know they are adopted, but are too young to know the details surrounding their lives prior to joining our family. I do not want to have an in-depth conversation with every person who asks a nosy question. These questions always seem to come up when the kids are around and I feel unprepared to answer them. Do you have any suggestions for a witty and confident response that can shut down these questions? I don’t want my boys to be ashamed that they were adopted, but I also don’t want the details out there for public consumption. -- ADOPTED MOM IN INDY DEAR ADOPTED MOM: That someone would be so insensitive as to pose those questions in front of the children is disconcerting. While I can’t think of a “witty” response that would deter the questioner, I can think of one that would be effective. Look the person in the eye, smile and say, “Oh, that’s a long story, but look at what beautiful sons I have. I feel truly blessed.” DEAR ABBY: My parents died when I was a teenager. In the years since I have noticed strange things. While I don’t find pennies, I do often see streetlights turn off right before I drive under them. I drive a lot at night 357462 428 UNFURNISHED APTS.
