Page 5A After sitting vacant for more than five years, two large townhomes in the Key West Bight will finally be torn down on Tuesday. The homes were models for the ill-fated Harbor House development that went into foreclosure in 2008, once located at the site of Jabour’s Motor Court. The trailer park, Veterans of Foreign Wars post and a small office building were purchased in parcels between 2004 and 2007 for about $23 million by a company called Caroline Street Partners. The development company originally planned a large complex called Watermark, but downsized to the smaller Harbor House in the face of residents’ objections and a drawn out lawsuit. By the time the group changed its plans and reduced the scale of the project, the market tanked and the development went into foreclosure. The buildings are being removed Tuesday to clear the way for a swanky, new 96-room resort, tentatively called Seaport Hotel. The hotel is being developed by Florida Keys millionaire developer Pritam Singh, whose projects include Parrot Key, Truman Annex and the Golf Club in Key West, Tranquility Bay in Marathon and developments in New England. Singh, who is purchasing the property from the bank, expects the demolition to take a week and ROB O’NEAL/The Citizen Construction of Pritam Singh’s new hotel on Caroline Street is slated to begin Tuesday.

His body was shipped to North Carolina for burial. 1935 The final report for the 1935 Florida Census showed there were 12,470 people in Key West and 865 living on the Keys. 1955 Mike Warren, who operated the stand in the lobby of the federal building on Simonton Street for the Florida State Service for the Blind, was named Lion of the Year by the Key West Lions Club. 1970 The 42nd Annual Convention of the Florida State Firemen’s Association was held in Marathon. 1983 Old Town Trolley, owned by Ed Swift and Chris Belland, purchased the Conch Train from Miami-based Wometco Enterprises.

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

Participants will weigh in each week, and the three who lose the most weight (based on percentage) will split most of the participant fees collected. Enrollees can use any weight-loss program they’d like. Of the $35 fee, $25 will be used as the prize for the three winners, and the other $10 will be donated to Big Pine Academy. There will be two classes of competitors. One will start at 7 p.m. Tuesday and the other at 7 p.m. Thursday, both meeting at St. Peter Church, Mile Marker 31.5. To register or for more information, call Knowles at 305-240-2483. Key West residents and business owners will receive a question-and-answer sheet about public rights of way in their upcoming utility bills, according to city spokeswoman Alyson Crean. The city is trimming trees and shrubs in the rights of way for safety and to comply with a court order that mandates following athe Americans with Disabilities Act, according to the information. “Property owners can help by making sure their landscaping complies with city codes: Everything must be trimmed at least 80 inches above the right of way and a minimum of 36 inches wide,” the statement says. This allows for safe walking and better visibility for motorists and bicycles, the city says. For more information, visit www.keywestcity.com. Hotel Continued from Page 1A MCSO Continued from Page 1A Key West Pawn Shop gathering each afternoon by the windows of the home she shared with Peace Corps colleagues to catch a glimpse of the exotic foreigners. She even remembers the yellow flowers in front of that house. However, Alvarado doesn’t remember Ernest Bai Koroma, the boy who grew up to become Sierra Leone’s president. But Koroma remembers her. “You never know who you’re influencing,” said Alvarado, who went onto a long career as Chicago school teacher before retiring to Key Largo in 1999. It turns out Koroma, 59, was one of the grammar school boys who would peer through those windows of Alvarado’s home. He was also the son of Alvarado’s landlords in Makeni. So, as Koroma prepared for a March visit to Washington, D.C., for a meeting with President Obama, and also to make a speech at Peace Corps headquarters, he made a request to see the woman he remembered only as “Ms. Sharon.” After a look into their archives to see who was stationed in Makeni in the 1960s, Peace Corps administrators determined that the Sierra Leone president was referring to Alvarado. In late February, the Key Largo retiree received a call from Washington asking if she’d be available to meet Koroma before his speech on March 27. “It was very surprising,” clists from driving up beside him, the report says. Durham then reportedly drove in between the two vehicles and brandished a semi-automatic pistol in his left hand, still trying to get Moore to pull over, according to the report. The officers were later stopped at Mile Marker 107 entering Key Largo, reports say. Livoti said other witnesses corroborate his clients’ statements. “I think when all the evidence comes in, both deputies will be exonerated,” Livoti said. Livoti pointed to Sandra Willis’ statements as contradictory. “She gave two statements,” Livoti said. “One to the Sheriff’s Office and then one to the Highway Patrol and she changed her story regarding the weapon, how she described the weapon and remember, both these deputies voluntarily allowed themselves to be searched and no weapons were found.” Miami-Dade County State Attorney Office spokeswoman Terry Chavez confirmed the trial was set for Tuesday, but could not comment on whether or not it would be continued. “I think there was a rush to judgement in this case,” Livoti said. Livoti said he expected he and prosecutors would jointly ask for the continuance. Durham has been with the Sheriff’s Office since August 2005, and Page since January 2007. Both men work as road patrol deputies in the Upper Keys and remain on duty pending the criminal and the separate internal affairs investigation. Neither deputy was taken to jail the day of the incident. alinhardt@keysnews.com TOP WEB STORIES 1 2 3 4 5 305-294-2226 Open Mon. – Sat. Alvarado said of the invitation. “I had never met him. But I knew the name, that he was president. But I didn’t associate the name with his parents.” She does remember Koroma’s parents though, especially his mother, who was an educator herself. Alice Koroma, Alvarado said, was like a “mother hen” to her in Sierra Leone. “She was always the one coming over telling us to do the right thing,” Alvarado recalled. Lessons like that might have served as a compass for Alice’s son as well. For 24 years Koroma pursued a career in the insurance industry. But in 2002, with Sierra Leone emerging from a brutal 11year civil war that would be famously depicted in the 2006 film “Blood Diamonds,” an unknown Koroma decided to enter the political fray. He won the leadership of the opposition All People’s Congress party in 2002. Then he took the party into the majority in 2007, winning the presidency. Koroma was re-elected in a landslide last November. During his meeting with Obama on March 28, the American president lauded Koroma and his administration for presiding over free elections in Sierra Leone and for providing good governance that has helped bring about economic growth. Koroma has also championed anti-corruption measures and focused on improving the health-care system in the country of 6 million. • NILESGM.COM • NILESGM.COM • NILESGM.COM • NILESGM.COM • NILESGM.COM • CAR OF THE DAY 2013 Chevrolet Cruze He’s fun, sporty, and most reliable.

He also remembered looking through those windows. In the end, said Alvarado, the experience has definitely made this year memorable. It also brought her closer to Sierra Leone, which she had never stopped keeping track of despite losing all of her contacts as a result of the civil war. “To me it was really great to think somebody remembers you after 50 years,” Alvarado said. Especially when that somebody is a nation’s president. rsilk@keysnews.com CITIZEN OF THE DAY Pols 4-3 on study Rooftop spa plan refiled A day before Obama met with Koroma, it was Alvarado’s turn. They spoke one-on-one for 30 minutes at the Peace Corps headquarters. Alvarado, a member of the local Art Guild of the Purple Isles, gave Koroma a work she painted for him of the central traffic roundabout in Makeni. The meeting, said Alvarado, was quiet, as they searched for things to discuss some five decades after her stay in Sierra Leone.

Troopers later searched both off-duty deputies and found no weapons, said Florida State Fraternal Order of Police union attorney Anthony Livoti Jr. who said both his clients are innocent. “The state has just provided more video,” Livoti said. “They believed they only had one video and now have an additional video taken of this incident.” Livoti said he expects the additional video to help his client’s case in that the real culprit in the case was another vehicle in the road. “The two individuals in the white truck should be charged with aggravated assault,” he said referring to a white Dakota pickup truck involved in the incident. According to an FHP incident report, Durham and Page were southbound on black Suzuki motorcycles at the north end of the 18-Mile Stretch when they tried to pass a white Dodge truck driven by Brian Moore, whose passenger was Sandra Willis. Page allegedly passed the truck on the outside as the road turned into one lane, but Durham was unable to pass the truck. Durham then reportedly pulled up alongside the truck, in the emergency lane, and pointed at it to pull over. When Moore refused, Durham allegedly kicked the passenger-side door and sped off. Farther south, at Mile Marker 122.5, Moore saw Page and Durham standing on an access road before they got back on their bikes and began to follow the truck, the report says. When the road turned back into two lanes in a passing area, Moore pulled up beside another vehicle to keep the motorcy- Continued from Page 1A MARATHON NILESGM.COM • NILESGM.COM • NILESGM.COM • NILESGM.COM • NILESGM.COM • NILESGM.COM • NILESGM.COM the “major construction” of the hotel will begin after that.

CLARIN/PUBLISHER TOM TUELL/EDITOR RALPH MORROW/SPORTS EDITOR NANCY SCHMOHL BECKWITH ROBERT CINTRON JR. KEN DOMANSKI SHIRLEY FREEMAN TODD GERMAN Truth catching up with Obama administration W e wonder how the election would have turned out if diplomat Gregory Hicks had testified before Congress about Benghazi last fall. His dramatic testimony to Congress on Wednesday made clear the Obama administration mishandled the crisis from the start. Once the tragic debacle occurred, officials were more concerned with damage control than the truth. Republicans have been making this accusation all along, but Hicks was the No. 2 U.S. official in Libya at the time of the attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. This is no political hatchet job. Quick decisions in frenzied situations are easy to second guess. Even so, Hicks’ chronicle puts the administration, particularly former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in a very bad light. Hicks believes the administration could have done more to scare off the attackers. The military disputes that, but there can be no disputing that Hicks and other Americans knew almost immediately that terrorists were behind the Benghazi attack. It was not a spontaneous reaction to an anti-Muslim video, as the administration originally claimed. Hicks was in Tripoli the night of Sept. 11 when Stevens was killed. He said Stevens called and told him, “Greg, we’re under attack.” Stevens and an aide would soon be dead. Two more Americans, former SEALS working as security contractors, were killed in a second attack later that night. Hicks believes that second attack could have been prevented if U.S. jets had flown over Benghazi to intimidate the terrorists. The Pentagon says no planes were available. Military officials also say there was no time for a security detail at Tripoli to make it to Benghazi in time to stop the attack. Both matters deserve more scrutiny. It is curious Americans would be allowed in harm’s way in such a volatile country Editorial without the nation being prepared to come to their aid. More damming is Hicks’ testimony that he briefed Secretary Clinton the night of the killings, when it was already evident terrorists were behind the attack. Yet United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice was still blaming an anti-Islam video five days later on TV interview shows. Hicks told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that when he heard Rice, “I was stunned. My jaw dropped, and I was embarrassed.” And as The Wall Street Journal points out, Clinton later promised the father of one of the victims that the filmmaker would be arrested and prosecuted — when she should have been fully aware the video played no role in the attacks. This looks to be a cynical and cruel deception. Indeed, Hicks’ testimony suggests Clinton’s agency scrambled quickly to keep the truth under wraps. Hicks says State Department brass ordered him not to talk with a visiting Republican congressman (Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah). When he did anyway, he was dressed down by Clinton’s chief of staff. Now, Hicks says, he has been essentially demoted to a desk job, something the department disputes. Clinton’s fingerprints look to be very close to — if not all over — this disaster. When questioned by Congress last January about when the administration knew terrorists were behind the attacks, Clinton disdainfully said, “What difference at this point does it make?” The truth always makes a difference, particularly when four Americans are killed serving their country. Congress should continue the investigation. Americans may be forgiving of any misjudgments during a night of chaos and violence. They are unlikely to be as tolerant of selfserving deceptions. — The Tampa Tribune Started at the bottom, but not jaded by reality BY DAVID BROOKS The New York Times N ot long ago, I devoted a column to the mostly uppermiddle-class students at elite universities — the empirical kids. I thought it would be interesting to devote a column to students who at least started at the other end of the social scale. So the [New York] Times researcher Anne Snyder and I interviewed a bunch of young people whom we had met earlier through the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. Edgar Leon’s background was pretty typical. Both his parents immigrated from Mexico. His mom does janitorial work in Chicago, while his dad commuted to Indiana to fix railroad lines. These young people have been shaped by their awesome life trajectories, from poor neighborhoods, to college, to internships on Capitol Hill. Cristi Privado is the last of seven children and the only one to graduate from high school. Kimberly Lopez has a brother and a sister who dropped out of school in the 9th and 10th grades. Her sister got pregnant at 16. “I got lucky,” Kimberly explained. None of them had pressuring parents who organized their children’s lives for suc- cess. “College was more of an encouragement in my home, less a given,” Edgar recalled. Almost all of them experienced a life-altering move when they were teenagers. Reuben Kapp benefited from a school choice program that enabled him to move from an urban Michigan high school to a suburban one. “I’m a big believer in school choice,” he said. “If it wasn’t for choice, I wouldn’t be here.” Cristi’s parents took her from a poorly performing middle school and moved to Greenville, S.C. At her new school there, she fell in with the smart kids. She developed a taste for country music. She ended up as class president. She was not babied in school. “Until I got to D.C., I never heard the word mentor. When I got here, it seemed that everybody has one,” Cristi joked. Like several of the others, she was discouraged from applying to a competitive college. Cristi said her guidance counselor mentioned that her own son had been rejected by Clemson so Cristi shouldn’t apply. “That made me definitely want to apply.” In college and at internships, they found a new world. “My mom and dad always worked the third shift. It dawned on me that some people leave work at 5 p.m.,” Edgar remembered. Edgar lived at home while going to DePaul, commuting 45 minutes each way. “I was just going to class and going to work,” he noted, uncomplainingly. Cristi’s father died a month before graduation. She had to finish the term through her grief. Most of the students had some trouble gelling with the whiter, richer student body in college and hung out mostly with fellow Hispanics. “We love our culture,” said Reuben. “That’s what makes our group stronger and bonds us together.” Now they seem to flow fluidly across cultural lines. We met them as they were finishing a stint as congressional staffers, often answering the phones and hearing the public rage about everything from the sequester to immigration reform. All of them have experienced culture shock in coming to Washington. Kimberly observed, “I feel that here people will do whatever it takes to get to the top. It was really overwhelming at the beginning. Are they being sincere? I could never tell.” Edgar echoed that: “Everyone is on a mission. People are all about networking. How can we use each other to get what we want? Maybe there’s a lack of genuineness?” Still, most wanted to stay in politics. As Kimberly put it: “I really want to go back to Delaware and seek elective office, whether it is local office or national office. To be presi- dent would be really cool.” The economy has been bad during their adult lives, but they’ve been shooting upward. Anne Snyder and I both came away with the impression that they have fewer anxieties than the more affluent students or empirical kids, less of a fear that one false move can lead to disaster. They seemed both hardy and a bit naive, made more resilient by reality but not jaded by it. Their conversational styles were enthusiastic, grateful, direct and earnest. They seemed to us un-selfconscious about how they present themselves — unironic, matter of fact, sincere and un-meta — not tripping in loops of self-awareness. They also have a less methodical sense of the exact steps you have to take to make it in the world. Their ambitions were perpetually sandwiched by their affections. “I know people who move across the country for a job. They see their family once or twice a year. I could never do that,” Kimberly remarked. Without even being asked, almost all of them burst into rhapsodies about their country. “I love the United States,” Reuben explained. “I have a lot of pride in the United States. I’m not a hockey fan, but when the American team is playing I go crazy.” David Brooks is a syndicated columnist with The New York Times.

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

Apparently, one of Oquendo’s students had just arrived, and made quite an entrance. “I called the jail back and told them to keep him overnight,” Oquendo said. “Let him sit in there overnight.” Oquendo’s smile grew as he leaned his 43-year-old frame over to tell the secret. “This guy forgets his cell phone on the plane — he’s on a civilian plane and he tells the airport people he has to get his phone, but they tell him it’s too late, so he takes it upon himself to go outside and jump the barbed wire fence.” The young commando then ran to the plane and was able to get inside, where he found his prized cell phone, but nearly scared the life out of a flight attendant, Oquendo explained. “Then a bunch of deputies tackled him and took him to jail,” Oquendo went on. “If he had been in California or Miami, they probably would have just shot him right there.” As company sergeant major and the senior enlisted advisor to the commander, Oquendo is the go-to man between the students as well as the instructors and senior leadership. In military parlance, he leads from the front. And the airport-commando arrest was a problem. A few phone calls were made and the soldier was allowed to leave jail if he attended court on time, then he had to stand at attention before Oquendo in the sergeant major’s office when he was released from jail. “He stayed in the course, but I told him he had to complete the training and do everything the courts told him to do, no excuses,” Oquendo said. “Later we were in the day room with all the plaques on the walls that the graduating classes leave behind and he was in there late studying because he was behind and he said, ‘You see that class from 1978, sergeant major? That’s my dad. I can’t fail this course. I’m not going to fail this course.’ And he didn’t.” ‘My job is to take care of everybody’ That’s just one of the memories Oquendo will keep as he leaves Key West after seven years of making the Special Forces Underwater Operations School one of toughest gut checks in the military that now draws students from the Reconnaissance Marines, Navy SEALs, Air Force and even other allied nations. Oquendo or “Q” as he is known to his fellow instructors and commanders will be leaving May 21 for Fort Bragg, the home of the Special Forces, where he will be Special Forces Assessment and Selection course instructor. In other words, he’s leaving to build the next generation of Special Forces soldiers. Oquendo has spent a combined seven years in Key West — between combat missions overseas — making sure the instructors’ wives are happy, their children have no issues easing into local schools, they have housing and even coordinating social events for the families. He is tasked with that on top of preparing instructors to teach deadly and stealthy marine warfare techniques. Often times the latter is easier than the former, Oquendo said without a hint of sarcasm. “It’s easy to put on a hat, sunglasses and the black T-shirt and walk around pretending to the be the man, but it’s a whole other thing to walk the walk and pull a guy aside who may be having trouble at home and is bringing it to work out here and helping him,” Oquendo said. “It is life and death out here. And you have to be willing to help that instructor or that student. Whomever. It can be a stressful job. No doubt about it.” He was laughing again. The Puerto Rico native grew up in Homestead, one of eight children, who now lives with and cares for his 81-year-old mother. “My job is to take care of everybody and that means 23 instructors and 13 support staff,” he said. “My main con- cern is always families.” If not for Oquendo’s Special Forces frame and Army bravado, an outsider might mistake him for a humanitarian worker or maybe even a high school teacher. “Q is invaluable, and I think I speak for many others from command staff on down,” said school commander Maj. Samuel Kline. “When it comes to students, he doesn’t yell. He’s very calm. He makes things happen. That’s a great asset for me as an officer.” ‘Rough and tough Green Berets’ Combat divers are some of the most respected commandos in Special Forces and the unassuming property where Fleming Key jettisons into the shallow Gulf of Mexico houses their school, considered the toughest mental and physical challenge in the Army. About one in three students fail the course. The first Special Forces soldiers sent into Afghanistan after 9/11 were all graduates of the Key West school, Special Forces Col. Alan Shumate said during his visit to the school in December. Oquendo has been in the Special Forces for 20 years and he’s been in the Army 24 years. He’s a veteran of the first Gulf War and of the war in Afghanistan. He was an instructor from 1998 to 2002. He went to war in Afghanistan and then returned to Key West to serve at the dive school from 2010 to the present. Oquendo is one of the rare Special Forces soldiers known in their small fraternity as a “Whisky 9,” meaning he is combat diver certified and highaltitude low opening (HALO) parachute certified. He patrolled the perimeter of the dive school from the water on Sept. 11, 2001 as news of the attacks flashed across the base radio. “We didn’t have cable TV then,’ Oquendo recalled. “We didn’t have a security gate either. I remember we were out there on boats patrolling and we didn’t even have weapons.” He stopped to laugh again. “We were like, ‘This is great, a bunch of rough and tough Green Berets patrolling with no weapons!’ I have so many memories here. I’m really going to miss it.” Thursday night Oquendo was preparing a class of 10 students who are undergoing their final exercise as combat diver students. They used all the knowledge over the last seven weeks to infiltrate a fictional nation on Geiger Key known as — of course — the “Conch Republic.” The students will have to use scuba skills to get to a secret location while evading instructors who make up the “People’s Army of the Conch Republic” and locate their target, a per- son of interest to the United States who spoke only Spanish and needed to be taken back to their base on Fleming Key. On Thursday night that Spanish-speaking person known only as “Artero” was played by Oquendo. It will the last such exercise he will undergo as a dive instructor in Key West. The students were preparing their Zodiac inflatable boats while elsewhere on base the sergeant major donned a foreign looking flight suit. The students don’t know their sergeant major will be playing the role of “Artero.” “They’re always surprised,” he said, grinning. “It adds a little stress to the exercise.” As for Oquendo, he figures in another two years he will have put in enough time serving his country and retire. And after that? “I’m going to be the best Wal-Mart greeter in the world,” he said laughing. “No, I was thinking about being an ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) at a college. I think I’d really enjoy that.” As Oquendo finished the sentence a gang of camouflaged commandos zipped from the docks in Zodiacs and he jumped in a van headed for the “Conch Republic” as the sun set. “We like to work in the dark,” the sergeant major said. alinhardt@keysnews.com HAPPY HO UR DAILY 5-7PM AN D 10 P M 50% OFF -MIDNIGH SE T LECT BEER S, MARGA HOUSE W RITAS, INE & WE LL DRINK S! 379123 .

Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight remain in seclusion, releasing their first statements since they were found May 6. They thanked law enforcement and said they were grateful for the support of family and the community. “I am so happy to be home, and I want to thank everybody for all your prayers,” DeJesus said in a statement read by an attorney. “I just want time now to be with my family.” A southern Indiana man returning home from work found two people shot to death in the living room, and investigators found two other bodies inside, authorities said Sunday. Bartholomew County Sheriff Mark Gorbett said three men were found dead in the living room Saturday evening and a woman’s body was found in a bedroom of the home in Waynesville, a small unincorporated town about 50 miles south of Indianapolis. All four were shot to death, County Coroner Larry Fisher said. “We still have crime scene techs and criminal investigators at the scene and anticipate them being there for quite a length of time,” Gorbett said. “We are following up on all leads at this point and we have no one in custody at this time.” A Utah tagger who was so proud of his graffiti that he posted photos of his artwork on Facebook has been arrested after police sent him a friend request through a fake online profile.

Police officers initially went to the South Trenton home Friday afternoon after a relative of 44-year-old Carmelita Stevens said she hadn’t spoken to her in weeks and was worried, authorities said at a news conference Sunday. Upon further investigation, authorities then discovered her children hadn’t been to school in 12 days. Officers entered the home through a rear door and smelled an odor consistent with that of a decomposing body,Trenton Police Director Ralph Rivera Jr. said. The officers also noticed maggots throughout the residence. They found 38-year-old Gerald “Skip” Tyrone Murphy MEL EVANS/The Associated Press New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Rick Fuentes, second from left, listens in Trenton, N.J. on Sunday, as Mercer County Prosecutor Joseph L. Bocchini Jr., answers questions. in an upstairs bedroom and he told them he was armed with a gun and explosives and had three children with him, Mercer County Prosecutor Joseph L. Bocchini Jr. said. Officers noticed one of the dead victims before they retreated from the second floor and rescued Stevens’ 19-year-old son from the basement, who said he hadn’t seen her or his siblings since about April 24. Homes on the surrounding block were evacuated as a precaution, and police tape cordoned off the street in front of the house. A SWAT team was called, and an arson bomb unit was also on the scene. Police said Murphy could be seen from a window holding a black handgun. Police remained in contact with Murphy throughout the 37-hour-long standoff and passed food into the home through an upstairs window, state police Col. Rick Fuentes said. Murphy kept the captives with him inside the roughly 10-foot-by-11-foot bedroom throughout the standoff, authorities said. Officers stormed the home at around 3:45 a.m. Sunday after noting Murphy’s “deteriorating state of mind” and deciding it was necessary to enter to help ensure the captives survived, Fuentes said. An officer shot Murphy because he was threatening one of the children, he said. Murphy was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries. No law enforcement personnel were injured during the standoff or the confrontation with Murphy. “This was a very complex matter, considering the space (where the hostages were) and that three children were involved,” Fuentes said. “Our mission over those 37 hours was to save innocent lives.” Authorities found the bodies of Stevens and her 13-year-old son in separate bedrooms. Stevens’ body was in an advanced state of decomposition, and police said she appeared to have died two weeks ago. Police didn’t say which of the bodies they had seen inside the home Friday afternoon. Three of Stevens’ children — an 18-year-old woman, a 16year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy — were rescued and taken to a medical center for evaluation and treatment. Murphy had abused and assaulted the captives, Bocchini said. Murphy and Stevens had been dating for a few months, and both lived in the house, police said. He was not the father of any of her children.

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

While Donney, 36, went to jail on a count of felony child abuse that same night, Howe required an airlift to a Miami hospital after receiving treatment at Lower Keys Medical Center for her hand. Howe, 32, was arrested April 26, after police obtained a warrant signed by Judge Peary Fowler with a bond of $25,000, the report said. Both parents are now charged with endangering their baby, who was strapped into a highchair in the living room — and in the “direct line of sight” when the gun was fired, police reported. “Donney and Howe both engaged in reckless behavior which could have resulted in physical or mental harm to the 11-month-old child,” Officer Matthew Haley wrote in the supplemental report. The couple’s son, who turned 1 on April 30, remains in the custody of the Florida Department of Children and Families, police said. Haley’s latest three-page report describes in graphic detail the couple’s argument that preceded the gunshot at 1515 Florida St. The report states that Donney had four video clips in his cellphone of his girlfriend lying passed out on her bedroom floor. Police arrived about 8 p.m. that Sunday night, March 24, to find Donney outside the Midtown house and a topless Howe at a window inside saying she had been shot, the report said. The report also concludes ALL ABOARD s Continued from Page 1A Police, however, described the videos as Donney goading Howe into a fight. “You can hear Donney antagonizing Howe in the video wanting to talk about their relationship,” Haley wrote. “In the video you could see that Howe just wanted to go to sleep. In the video, you can hear Donney say something like, ‘Look at Mommy. Here is Mommy,’ and you can hear baby chatter of a child.” Donney told police that Howe punched him in the stomach and pushed him out of her room, shutting the door, and that he was in the living room with his boy when she emerged from the bedroom holding the revolver, which she raised at him, the report said. But Donney had also said that night the gunshot went off in Howe’s bedroom. Physical evidence, including tests for gunshot residue, show that Howe fired the weapon while on her bed mattress, the report said. “Howe had powder burns on the inside palm of her left hand,” Haley wrote. The gun was found beneath a dresser in the bedroom, “approximately five feet away from the location where it was discharged.” At the Stock Island hospital, Howe said she had “probably shot” herself, but changed her story a number of times, the latest police report said. “She shot herself, Donney shot her, she doesn’t know how she was shot and Donney helped her load the weapon,” Haley listed in the report released Tuesday. gfilosa@keysnews.com that the .38-caliber gunshot was fired in Howe’s bedroom, citing powder burns on her Donney mattress. “The distance from where the child was located to where the firearm was discharged was approximately 20 feet or closer depending on the inconsistent statements provided by Howe and Donney of the exact location of where the child was in relation to the discharge of a firearm.” Earlier that day, the family had attended the free air show at the Naval Air Station Key West. “They were engaged in drinking and using narcotics while watching the air show,” the report said. “The child was with them during this time.” The couple began arguing on the way home, police reported, and Donney said he made Howe pull over at one point because she was driving “erratically.” “Donney left his child in the care of Howe even though he was concerned for his own safety when he was riding in the car with her,” Haley wrote. Donney said he arrived home to find Howe passed out on the floor by the front door with the child sitting next to her, and that he woke her up and she went into her room. Donney told officers at the scene that night he videotaped Howe “for custody issues later on that may occur,” the report said. ey Shot 94% of Smartphone users have searched for LOCAL information online with their phones, and 90% have taken action as a result.

Federer, Murray: no problem for gay tennis players ROME — Roger Federer and Andy Murray believe there would be no problem if a men’s tennis player comes out as gay. The second- and third-ranked players were asked about the possibility Sunday at the Italian Open after NBA veteran Jason Collins recently became the first active player in any of the four major U.S. professional sports leagues to come out. “I don’t think it would be a problem,” Federer said. “We’re very relaxed. We don’t play a team sport and see each other all the time. ... We’re very open. So whatever happens, happens. I don’t know if there are any. So far from what I’ve heard, no. But that could change, possibly because of the case in the NBA.” Report: Boogaard family sues NHL for son’s death The New York Times is reporting that Derek Boogaard’s family has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the National Hockey League. In the lawsuit, the family says the NHL is responsible for the brain damage that Boogaard sustained during six seasons as an enforcer in the league, and for his addiction to prescription painkillers. Boogaard was found dead of an accidental overdose of pain medication and alcohol on May 13, 2011. He was 28. He was posthumously diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain ailment that is caused by repeated blows to the head. The Times reports the suit was filed late Friday by the Chicago law firm of Corboy & Demetrio, in the Circuit Court of Cook County. KEY WEST — It was a physical week with a lot of bumps and bruises for the Key West High School football team during Spring Drills. Second year coach Johnny Hughes said it takes a toll especially with about 40 players consistently showing up for practice. “If we had 85 or 90 it would be a little different. With 40 it ends up taking a toll on you, but the same core of people is showing up,” said Hughes. “They’ve been pretty consistent.” Hughes said they are working on a simple playbook over the spring building up to the fall season. “We’ll go in with five or six running plays and four and five passing plays and that’s all we want to install during the spring so we can perfect that,” explained Hughes. “Obviously we run the triple and a few different options off that like a couple of counter plays and out sweep play. These plays will set up the offense that we’ll install in the fall.” The coach said one of the three players vying for the quarterback position has stepped up to fill the shoes of graduating quarterback Donald. Roberts “I’d have to say Andrew (Freeman) is in front right now. We look better when he’s in there,” Hughes said. “Trevor (Pike) is coming along. He didn’t have much football experience which has not helped him but he’s shown some flashes.” Regardless of who runs the team, Hughes said they need to get more efficient on offense. “They all misread at times and they all get the reads at times,” he said. “We want to go from about 60 percent to about 80 percent correct on the reads.” Hughes said things are on track for the Spring Game, May 24 against Fort Pierce Westwood. “This is the first time they’ve seen the live read coming at them. As the week went on the reads got better which is what we expected,” expounded the coach. “Still, we’re ahead of where we were last year as far as quarterbacks picking the reads up. That’s a plus. The running backs, are obviously, much further along than last year. Now, we’re not as sharp as we were at the end of last year but that’s to be expected losing players to graduation and transfers.” Over the next 11 days of drills, Hughes said they will practice RON COOKE/The Citizen Monday through Friday after Potential Key West quarterback See CONCHS, page 3B Andrew Freeman throws a passing during drills Monday afternoon. Hurricanes must look to rebuild with only four returning starters BY ERIC BASS Citizen Staff TAVERNIER — Every spring the sound of pads hitting and coaches barking instructions to their players can be heard all around high school campuses in the state of Florida. In Tavernier, on the fields at Coral Shores High School the scene is no different. The Hurricanes lined up last week to start their spring practice sessions. Like all schools the football coaches are assessing what they have right now. They are hoping to get some idea on how they may fill positions when the regular season starts this fall. “We lost a lot of starters and every position is open,” Coral Shores coach Ed Holly said before spring practice started. “What we have going for us is our players understand our system going into the third year so we can concentrate more on teaching the game and getting better every day.” The Hurricanes were a 6–4 team last year and have just two starters returning on defense “What we have going for us is our players understand our system going into the third year so we can concentrate more on teaching the game and getting better every day.” Ed Holly KATHY LANCASTER/The Citizen Coral Shores coach in senior linebacker Eddie Dunn and junior defensive back Paul Pauchey. On the offensive side of the ball the team has some big holes to fill as well. They will be looking for the all important quarterback position to fill in the shoes left by the graduation of Addison DumaKenny. Along the line of scrimmage returning to play center is Jake Niedbalski along with Bennie Cosme at guard. They are the only two starters from last year who will help shore up See CANES, page 3B Above: Marathon’s Alex Mejia, left, and Tommy Lancaster face off in defensive tackle drills during the first week of spring practice.

Woods ended a weekend of testy words with Garcia by doing what he does best — closing out tournaments, even if he let this one turn into a tense duel over the final hour at the TPC Sawgrass. Tied with Garcia with two holes to play, Woods won by finding land on the last two holes for par to close with a 2-under 70. If only it were that simple for the Spaniard. Garcia was standing on the 17th tee shot, staring across the water to an island as Woods made his par. He took aim at the flag with his wedge and hung his head when he saw the ball splash down short of the green. Then, Garcia hit another one in the water on his way to a quadruplebogey 7. He completed his stunning collapse by hitting his tee shot into the water on the 18th and making double bogey. Woods was in the scoring trailer when he watched on TV as Swedish rookie David Lingmerth missed a long birdie putt that would have forced a playoff. It raced by the cup, and Lingmerth three-putted for bogey. “How about that?” Woods said to his caddie, Joe LaCava as he gave him a hug. Woods won The Players for the first time since 2001 and joined Fred Couples, Davis Love III and Steve Elkington as the only two-time winners at the TPC Sawgrass. It was his 78th career win on the PGA Tour, four short of the record held by Sam Snead. Lingmerth closed with a 72 and finished two shots behind along with Kevin Streelman (67) and Jeff GERALD HERBERT /The Associated Press Maggert, who also was tied for the Tiger Woods raises The Players champilead until finding the water on the onship golf tournament trophy at TPC Black and White Ad - $60.00 Color Ad - $125.00 Sawgrass on Sunday in Ponte Vedra See PLAYERS, page 3B Beach.

Miami’s superstar shot down the accusations from the Chicago Bulls, saying they reminded him of the days when some claimed he was overrated and questioned his ability to lead a team to a championship. “It’s kind of the same (as when) I heard people say I was overrated,” he said Sunday. “It’s kind of like the same response.” The Heat are trying to repeat as champions after a dominant regular season, and if they keep this up, they won’t have to worry about Chicago much longer. Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals is tonight, and Miami has a chance to take a 3-1 lead in a series with no shortage of hard fouls, technicals, ejections and fines. One thing in short supply is healthy bodies for the Bulls, with Luol Deng still recovering from a spinal tap and Kirk Hinrich from a bruised left calf. The odds that either would play seemed slim at best on Sunday. Meanwhile, coach Tom Thibodeau’s wallet is a little lighter after the league smacked him with a $35,000 fine on Sunday. That hit came after he accused James of flopping on that shove to the floor and questioned the officiating after the Heat took Game 3, saying the Bulls weren’t going to get the benefit of the calls. Thibodeau had already addressed the media by the time the punishment was announced and declined comment through a team spokesman. Yet there was still plenty of talk about that incident between James and Mohammed. Joakim Noah had already shoved Miami’s Chris Andersen after he landed on a driving Nate Robinson late in the first quarter, and things nearly boiled over early in the second. With James dribbling near midcourt, Mohammed reached in to take a foul and stop a potential break. Their arms got tangled. Mohammed fell, and when he got up, he gave James a hard shove to the court. Both players picked up technicals. Mohammed got tossed, making him the third Bulls player to get ejected in the series along with Noah and Taj Gibson. “I don’t need to flop,” James said. “I play an aggressive game. I don’t flop. I’ve never Garcia took 13 shots to cover the final two holes — 6-over par — and tumbled into a tie for eighth. Continued from page 1B Woods made this drama possible by hooking his tee shot 17th to make double bogey. The 49-year-old Maggert bird- into the water on the 14th hole and making a double bogey, ied the 18th for a 70. Players BY JOSEPH WILSON The Associated Press CHARLES REX ARBOGAST/The Associated Press Heat forward LeBron James (6) reacts to his 3-point shot against the Chicago Bulls during the second half of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal on Friday in Chicago. been one of those guys.” It’s probably worth noting that James accused the Bulls of crossing the line a few times back in late March, when they beat Miami at the United Center to snap Miami’s 27-game win streak. “What I said is what I said, but I don’t want to get involved too much with what everybody else says about us, about me,” he said. “It’s nothing I haven’t heard before in my career. It’s nothing. ... I’m here to play basketball and do whatever it takes for our team to win. So what a coach and players say to me and about me, I don’t really care.” dropping him into a four-way tie with Garcia, Maggert and Lingmerth. The final two holes came down to Garcia and Woods, most appropriate given their public sniping at each other this weekend. Conchs Hurricanes Continued from page 1B Continued from page 1B school and get in a light workout on Saturday. “The following week we only have three days of practice. We’ll do a walk-through on Thursday and play. We’re looking at seven or eight days of pads left and then the game which is always the scary part,” chuckled Hughes. “The good thing is we’ll get some game film on them and actually show them their mistakes instead of what they see in their mind’s eye, which is not always the correct thing.” rcooke@keysnews.com the offensive line. Dunn at halfback is the lone starting back coming to play for the Hurricanes this spring. He had some excellent performances last year and the ’Canes will rely on his ability again this year to carry the rushing duties. At quarter back Holly has stated that “Everyone wants to know who our starting quarterback will be and I can only say I have no idea right now.” Two players the coaching staff will be looking at are sophomore Nick Frisone and a junior Austin Seibolt, both saw JV action last year at the position. Right now, however, every starting spot on the roster is open for anyone to win. TENNIS When they finished the storm-delayed third round Sunday morning, Garcia kept at it, saying that Woods is “not the nicest guy on tour.” Woods had the last laugh. He had the trophy. As far as turnout, the ’Canes are looking at about 24 players participating in spring drills and have 22 positions to find starters who can stay on the field. As it is with the Hurricanes, with limited numbers they will be working hard and smart to get the most out of every player they have. Holly and his staff have done a very good job the last two years bringing the Hurricanes’ program back from some pretty lean years in the win column. Spring practice ends with the Spring Jamboree game held on Thursday, May 23 at Marathon High School where three teams including Doral Academy, the Hurricanes and Dolphins will each play one another in a three two quarter game format. From the competition in Marathon the Hurricanes will have a better idea what they will have for a football team in the fall. MADRID — Serena Williams kept the No. 1, and added No. 50. Williams beat Maria Sharapova, 6-1, 6-4, in the final of the Madrid Open Sunday to retain her No. 1 ranking and collect her 50th career title, while Rafael Nadal eased by Stanislas Wawrinka, 6-2, 6-4, for his fifth title since returning from a knee injury. The second-ranked Sharapova would have overtaken the top ranking with a win, but Williams stormed out to an early lead as Sharapova struggled with her serve. Despite Sharapova briefly recovering her poise in the second set, Williams’ form never dipped as she eased to the title. “It feels good,” Williams said about winning her 50th title. “I don’t know how many more I can win. Who knows if I will ever win another title? I just want to live the dream. Hopefully, I can keep it going. “When you first start out everything is so exciting. Now I expect to win.” Williams improved her record against Sharapova to 13-2, with her only two losses coming in 2004. The 31-year-old Williams, playing in her first red clay final since 2002, dominated Sharapova from the start as the Russian never managed to steady her erratic serve. Nadal flopped on his back and screamed in joy when his Swiss opponent’s final volley fell long to end the match in one hour and 12 minutes. It was Nadal’s seventh straight final since recovering from a nagging case of tendinitis in his left knee that sidelined him for seven months. “I’m very happy and maybe this victory is even more special considering how complicated this year has been,” said Nadal. “This tournament couldn’t have gone better for me.” 355691 Football and Cheerleading Sign Up Flag - A Division Monday-Thursday 5:30-7:00 Sign Up cost $100 (Sibling Discount) Location: George Mira Field 3155 Flager Ave, Key West, FL 33040 Or contact Peter Estevez @ 305-684-9376 for more information KEY WEST LITTLE CONCH BASEBALL SCHEDULE Mon 5/13/13 Thurs 5/16/13 8U 6:30pm Braves vs Blue Jays Field B 10U 6:30pm Yankees vs Athletics Field C 12U 6:30pm Marlins vs Reds Field D 14U 6:30pm Cubs vs Dodgers Field A 8U 6:30pm Astros vs Braves Field B 10U 6:30pm Rangers vs Athletics Field C 12U 6:30pm Mariners vs Reds Field D 14U 6:30pm Dodgers vs Giants Field A Tue 5/14/13 Fri 5/17/13 8U 6:30pm White Sox vs Astros Field B 10U 6:30pm Red Sox vs Angels Field C 12U 6:30pm Phillies vs Mariners Field D 14U 6pm Giants vs Brewers Field A 8U 6pm Orioles vs Cardinals Field B 8U 8pm White Sox vs Padres Field B 10U 6pm Red Sox vs Yankees Field C 10U 8pm Athletics vs Rangers Field C 12U 6pm Phillies vs Marlins Field D 14U 6pm Brewers vs Cubs Field A Wed 5/15/13 6U 6:30pm Mudcats vs Express Field C 6U 6:30pm Seadogs vs Hooks Field D 8U 6:30pm Padres vs Nationals Field B Sat 5/18/13 T-BALL 9am Grasshoppers vs Scrappers Field D T-BALL 10:45am Riverdogs vs Raptors Field D T-BALL 10:45amThresher Sharks vs Sandgnats Field D T-BALL 12:30pm Knights vs Hot Rods Field D 6U 9am Seadogs vs Express Field C 6U 11am Hooks vs Mudcats Field C 8U 9am Orioles vs Blue Jays Field B 8U 11am Nationals vs Cardinals Field B 10U 1pm Angels vs Rangers Field C 10U 3pm Yankees vs Red Sox Field C The Key West Citizen is a Proud Supporter of Little Conch Baseball 355659 4B THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ MONDAY, MAY 13, 2013 KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIED HOROSCOPES for today BRIDGE TIPS thumb.

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

Her grandfather insists that his last name is too long and impossible to pronounce. He thinks they need to change the name when they marry. He went so far as to make them call him so he could tell them what he wanted. Then he gave them 10 days to “think about it” and call him back with their answer. He told the mother of the bride that if they don’t change the name, then he’s “just not into the wedding anymore,” implying that he won’t help them pay for the event. Needless to say, this has most of the family shaking their heads and thinking the old man has finally lost it. shortened or changed their names for that reason. I sincerely hope no one is expecting Granddad to pay for the upcoming wedding. That he would attempt to blackmail the young couple in this way is shameful. Let’s hope they are mature enough to ignore him, and that they have a long and happy life together. Opa! DEAR ABBY: Our youngest daughter will graduate from college next month. The school is 10 hours away by car or a 2 1/2-hour plane ride. There are no direct flights. My husband and I are excited about this special day, and so is his 82-year-old mother. (I’ll call her Ethel.) She mentioned yesterday that she’s excited to go. We understand that this was common practice for families passing through Ellis Island coming to America a century ago, but have you ever heard of this being done for a wedding? Being a therapist, I thought I’d seen and heard it all -- until now. Please give us some insight. I’m hoping his “ladyfriend” will read your reply and share it with him. -- CAN’T BELIEVE IT DOWN SOUTH Abby, Ethel is not a well woman. She has trouble walking, falls occasionally and hasn’t been out of this town for 30 years. She is also hypercritical. She does nothing but complain about other people, her health, this country, etc. Looking after her would be a huge burden. DEAR CAN’T BELIEVE IT: You have described a man who is used to being in control and is not above using his money to manipulate. A century ago when people came to this country through Ellis Island, many of them were escaping discrimination and wanted to leave their past behind them, which is why they Americanized their names. Others had it done “for” them by government officials who couldn’t understand them when they pronounced their names and wrote down what they thought they heard. (Years ago, in Sioux City, Iowa, my mother knew two brothers who walked through different lines and wound up with the names “Ginsberg” and “Landsberg.” I don’t know which was correct.) Still others were so eager to become “Americans” that they We’d like to attend this milestone event without the added stress of taking care of her. My husband and I have been married 25 years, and Ethel still complains about me. Because she’s such a handful, we have never taken her to dinner or a movie. How do we (kindly) tell her that what she has in mind is not going to be possible? - READY TO CELEBRATE IN SAN DIEGO DEAR READY TO CELEBRATE: You and your husband should tell his mother that graduations in the best of circumstances are stressful events and can be difficult for someone who is unsteady on her feet. You could also mention that seating is limited, because it often is at graduations. Then offer to videotape the ceremony so she doesn’t have to miss it. 417 UNFURN.CONDOS LOWER KEYS 428 UNFURNISHED APTS. LOWER KEYS 440 UNFURN. HOUSES LOWER KEYS 440 UNFURN.
