investigation that included 28 interviews with other school employees.
In response to the written complaint, lodged last month, the School
District came up with four charges
against Gracy: sexual harassment,
hostile work environment, and mishandling an investigation into an
employee, which led to endangering

CRIME REPORT
CITIZEN STAFF
KEY WEST — A moldy bun
sent a drunken customer at a
New Town diner into a rage
early Sunday, according to a
police incident report.
There were no reported
arrests and the case remains
open.
According to the report,
a regular at the Waffle House
on North Roosevelt Boulevard
ordered a hamburger at 6:07
a.m. He was described as a tattooed, Duval Street bar bouncer and appeared drunk to the
diner employee who called
police.
The man apparently took
issue with a moldy hamburger bun and began yelling and
screaming profanities at the
employee, but then reportedly
sat back down and remained
calm for the next 90 minutes.
When he got up to leave,
however, he allegedly went
behind the counter and threatened and pushed the employee
before paying for his meal and
leaving.
Reports did not indicate the
fate of the alleged moldy burger
bun. The employee told police
he wanted to press charges.
Information in the Crime
Report is obtained from reports
provided by area law enforcement agencies.
If you have information that
could help solve a crime in the
Keys, call Crime Stoppers, (800)

born in New London, Conn.,
on May 12, 1946, but as the
son of a Navy captain, within
the year, his family moved to
Key West, which became his
lifelong and beloved home.
Mike was a smart, go-to
guy, especially when it came
to boating. He loved the ocean
and his boat, The Caribe. He
always had a helping hand
extended and a quick and
often hilarious comeback
to just about any comment.
While he did not have any
biological children, he was
known as “Uncle Mike” to
more than a few of Key West’s
younger generation. And
while he called so many on
our island a friend, his best
friend since childhood was
Edward “Brother” Toppino.
Mike recently retired from
the business he owned, Key
West Watersports, after operating it for 30 years at the
rial. Small as Grace was in body,
her spirit was larger than life.
Although she worked at the Key
West Aquarium, her greatest
contributions to the community were her family and how
she raised them. She often credited the size of her family to
the lack of television. Anyone
that met Amazing Grace will
miss her and be grateful for the
time they spent with her, but
none as much as the large family that she piloted over the past
97 years.
Amazing Grace is now in
heaven amongst those who proceeded her: parents, Santiago
and Juanita Chacon; husband
and father of her six children,
James W Haskins; husband,
Armando (GI) Rodriguez; sister
and best friend, Gloria Chacon
Herce; brother-in-law, Anthony
Herce; son, Henry Vincent
Haskins Sr.; son-in-law, Merrill
“Tuffy” Roberts; and granddaughter, Dori Lynn Haskins.
Amazing Grace has left many
heavy hearts to carry on her
everlasting love and devotion
to all: her eldest daughter, Ida A.
Roberts, wife of the late Merrill
“Tuffy” Roberts; daughter-inlaw, Linda R. Haskins, wife of
the late Henry V. Haskins Sr.;
Waldorf Astoria Casa Marina
Resort.
Mike is survived by his wife,
Joanne Tarantino Wilson;
and two loving stepchildren, Michael and Rebecca
Tarantino, who he adored.
He is also the first of his
seven brothers and sisters
to die. He is survived by his
brother, Kenneth Wilson and
his son, Daniel; his brother,
Peter (Vicky) Wilson and their
son, Mac (Kara); his sister,
Ann Dedek, and her children,
Kenny and Meredith; his sister, Judy Gaston, and her children, Anna and Mary Frances;
his brother, Joe Wilson; his
sister, Mary Weech, and her
children, Audrey, Sara and
Jeffery; and his brother, Andy
Wilson. Mike was predeceased by his mother, Mary
“Toby” Wilson.
Mike will be cremated and
returned to “Mother, mother ocean.” A celebration of
Mike’s life will be held at 10:30
a.m. Saturday, June 9, 2012,
Fort Zachary Taylor, followed
by a reception at the Key West
Club.
Mike has one last wish to
all: Thanks to whomever took
the trash out. That was his
job.

Don’t waste more time
on Edwards’ betrayal
I
n the end, America knows
just as much now as it did
three weeks ago about
whom John Edwards betrayed.
The former North Carolina senator and presidential candidate
had an affair while campaigning, fathered a child with his
mistress and tried to hide it all.
The victims, as always, were his
wife and family.
But for 17 days, a jury of eight
men and four women sifted
through campaign finance laws,
testimony and more than 500
exhibits to determine if anyone
else was aggrieved in the case
of Johnny Reid Edwards. They
never should have been asked
to do so. The verdict of one
count not guilty and five undecided may have been unsatisfying to a public ready for closure,
but the result was unsurprising.
The prosecution brought
forth a case that was built not
only on a flawed star witness,
but also uncertainty about the
laws the defendant was charged
with violating. From that, the
jury was tasked with a difficult
calculation: Did candidate
Edwards deceive the government by taking close to $1 million from campaign supporters
for personal use, or did husband
John accept personal gifts in
Editorial
order to hide his infidelity? In
simpler terms: Did he betray
only his family, or all of us?
Legality aside, we should be
long past the point where we
can be betrayed by the personal
flaws of our public officials.
Edwards stands in a long line of
cads who asked for our votes,
then made us regret giving
them. ...
Despite all this, we retain a
curious expectation that our
elected officials — especially
presidents — come with 1950s
packaging: married and with
smiling children, churchgoing and all-around pleasant.
Any deviations from that are
trumpeted by opponents and
media as cautionary — a landscape that allows for infidelity
to become part of the outsized
theater of public outrage, rather
than the detestable but personal
tragedy it is. ...
... In the end, we know what
we did three weeks ago about
John Edwards’ arrogance and
betrayal. Prosecutors shouldn’t
waste our time again trying to
pursue more.
— The Charlotte
(N.C.) Observer
Still something to prove
M
itt Romney officially
sewed up the Republican
presidential nomination with
his victory in Texas.
But on a day when the attention should have been focused
on him, it was deflected — by
Romney’s own fault — to the
flaky Donald Trump, who flirted
with a campaign for the presidency himself before it became
evident that few outside the
billionaire’s sycophants took his
candidacy seriously.
Trump — aptly dubbed a
“bloviating ignoramus” by
conservative columnist George
Will — has kept his name in the
political headlines by attaching
himself to Romney’s campaign
and by perpetuating the completely discredited claim that
President Barack Obama was
not born in the United States
and thus is serving in office
illegally.
Trump’s ignorance, though,
is not the issue here. The issue
is what Romney’s reluctance
to disassociate himself from
Trump says about the GOP candidate.
Romney, it is becoming clear,
is cautious to a fault. He is so
skittish about alienating any segment of the GOP base — even
the far-right “birthers” — that he
constantly straddles the fence
not only on serious issues but on
non-serious ones, such as this
persistent nonsense about the
president’s place of birth. ...
Romney may believe that
Trump’s value in fundraising
and in clout in the swing state
of Nevada is worth the downside of his wackiness. That is a
poor calculation. ...
Whatever Trump brings to
the table in wooing skeptical
conservatives and their dollars
to Romney’s side is more than
outweighed by how much he
turns off independents and
moderates, who will decide the
November election.
A president has to be a diplomat who can bring factions
together to get something
accomplished. But he also must
be a leader, someone who is
willing to take a stand for what’s
right even when he knows it
won’t sit well with everyone.
Romney has something to
prove on that second score.

Letters to the editor
Do health-care costs
create a Catch-22?
It irks me that health insurance costs more than I have
ever paid for rent or mortgage,
and if or when my health fails,
if I don’t have health insurance, I will lose my home
paying off the medical costs.
Many people do.
With The Obamacare, by
2014, everyone will have to
buy health insurance.
The Supreme Court has said
a business can use money to
support a politician. It’s their
First Amendment right. So,
money equals free speech.
However, my withholding
money as a protest against the
high cost of medical care has
not even been considered as
free speech.
The government cannot
tell the doctors what they
can charge for medical care.
This is considered socialism,
and we have to let the free
market set the price. This is
the American way! But what
do you call it when there is
a restriction on the number
of doctors or any other business? How can the free market set the price if the government controls how many
businesses are in any mar-
ket? Is this also the American
way?
Never having had health
insurance, I believe I have
been charged less than what
the doctors would have
charged an insurance company because they knew I
couldn’t afford what the insurance companies would pay.
And it makes me wonder if
the insurance companies pay
the doctors more, so what the
doctors charge is so high you
can’t afford to pay the doctors
without insurance.

City candidate would
have been a perfect fit
I’m glad the search for a
new city manager [is complete], but I must respond,
however belatedly, to the
reason given for eliminating candidate Susan Stanton
from consideration in the first
round: reports that she is contentious, disruptive.
Stanton is the transgender
administrator whose evaluations were reportedly excellent until she announced that
she was transitioning from
male to female. That fact was
apparently very disruptive to
bigoted people without an
understanding of the situation
— so disruptive, in fact, that,
without finding fault with her
professional performance,
they fired her. It was only
when she protested the firing
that she was portrayed in the
media as disruptive. That was
several years ago. She seemed
to be doing fine in her new
position. Whose reports, I
wonder, were our search committee relying upon?
“We have 29 states that do
not outlaw discrimination on
the basis of sexual orientation,” according to the Rev.
Mel White, gay activist and
founder — with his husband
and partner of 30 years, Gary
Nixon — of the nonviolent,
resistance-based, national
organization Soulforce. More
to the point, “Transgender
Americans are invariably the
worst victims of discrimination and violence. And yet
there are 44 states that do not
outlaw discrimination on the
basis of gender identity,” he
notes.
Key West does outlaw such
discrimination. I would have
thought that Stanton and Key
West might be the perfect fit.

Let’s work to make
waterfront park green
In such a contentious election year, where the difference
of agendas is sizzling on the
griddle like your basted eggs in
the morning, I have to inquire
about a most pressing issue.
I have some potted trees that
I would like to donate to the
cause of “greening” the Truman
Waterfront park. I have a banyan, although considered nonnative, that would love to be
freed from its 55-gallon plastic
drum that at one time held
juice concentrate, and would
provide shade like banyans are
designed for. I have avocado
trees, several years old, in pots;
champion mangoes, a nice
Norfolk pine, many Christmas
palms and others.
I am hoping that by writing this letter, those powerful
Key West garden and butterfly club women and men will
take this project under their
butterfly wings.
Let us all donate to make
the Truman Waterfront park a
verdant green oasis in our selfmade tropical jungle.

there were echoes
of Hillary Clinton,
Silda Spitzer, Huma
Abedin: of all the
enigmas who have
weighed the wrong
done to them and
the options available to them
and arrived at accommodations that no one on the
outside of a given marriage
or family can ever fully understand.
Cate’s situation was different — and sadder. Although
she wasn’t directly betrayed,
her whole family was devastated, all the more so because
both of her parents ended up
being publicly savaged, her
mother’s tirades becoming
legend. Elizabeth Edwards
spent the years before her
death in late 2010 not only
battling cancer but also raging against her husband’s
infidelity, lies and squandered
promise, even though there
was no benefit in that for Cate
and her two younger siblings,
now 12 and 14. Cate’s as close
to a mother as those children
have left.
She’s practiced at heartache.
An older brother, Wade, died
in a car accident in 1996, when
he was 16 and she only 14; for
two years afterward, she slept
in her parents’ bedroom, on
two chairs pushed together.
Like Dad and Mom both,
she became a lawyer, heading
to Harvard for her law degree
after undergraduate work at
Princeton. At the Democratic
National Convention in 2004,
where her father was the party’s vice presidential nominee
and her mother spoke, Cate
took the stage briefly to introduce her.
“I am the proud child,”
she said, “of two people who
have made our home a place
of hope.” How much of that
sentiment was true up until
then, and genuinely felt? How
much could she hold on to,
or recover, over the torturous
years to come?
During the trial she fielded
many requests for interviews,
but didn’t grant any substantive ones. In an era when so
many people thrill to and
preen for the spotlight, no
matter why it’s there, she
showed up for court in unfashionable tops and skirts, ballet
flats and chipped nail polish.
She wasn’t there to perform. If
she intends to join the lengthening list of political daughters
who have converted their
surnames into television exposure, she hasn’t shown it.
And yet. She had her wedding last fall photographed for
— and written up in — People
magazine. In a less flashy vein,
she wrote a moving Mother’s
Day essay for Southern Living
last month.
Could these have been
public relations moves made
with her father in mind, and
timed to coincide with his
trial? She often seemed to leap
past mere support for him to
active help, scribbling charts
and notations during the juryselection phase.
Elizabeth Edwards, in the
weeks before she died, seemingly made a sort of peace with
John and no doubt wanted
the family to stay strong. That
would have been a whole lot
tougher to pull off if he’d gone
to prison or if he’d stood by
himself in that courtroom,
lonely proof of a family
unstitched.
So maybe Cate marched
alongside him not out of any
particular mercy or meekness
but just because she, more
than anyone else in the family,
held the needle and thread,
and because what she said
on a stage eight years ago still
rings at least slightly true. In
the Edwards home, despite
everything that’s happened,
there’s hope.

four weeks after Jara reassigned
him to the School District’s
main office in Key West until
an inquiry played out.
The suspension will take
place after the last day of the
school year for teachers —
Thursday — allowing Gracy to
take part in Marathon High’s
graduation ceremony, Jara
decided.
“It’s important that as principal of Marathon High School,
he takes part in graduation,”
Jara said Tuesday.
Both the accuser, school counselor Kristen Butcher, and Gracy
will continue to work together at
the Marathon school.
Allegations now public
With the investigation complete into the four-part complaint, Jara opened the full file
to the public Tuesday.
Axford and fellow administrator Michael Kinneer interviewed 28 people over the
complaint made by Butcher.
She as well as her boyfriend,
John Briggs, were among those
interviewed.
The same set of questions
were posed to each person
interviewed, asking specifically if Gracy had ever flirted,
touched or sent emails “of a
sexual nature.”
Of the 28 interviews, 10 people backed up Butcher’s accusations that Gracy behaved
inappropriately while running
the Marathon school, but none
said the principal had touched
anyone.

$400M to repair sub
Equal pay bill blocked in Senate
Need an underground bunker?
An early estimate from the
Navy puts the price tag for repairs
of a fire-damaged submarine
in the range of about $400 million, a figure that suggests the
nuclear-powered USS Miami will
be repaired instead of scrapped,
U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said
Tuesday.
Pingree, a member of the
Housed
Armed
Services
Committee, released the estimate a day after becoming the
first member of Congress to
see the damage inside the USS
Miami, which was in dry dock at
Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for
an overhaul when the fire broke
out on May 23.
Senate Republicans have blocked a bill
that calls for equal pay in the workplace.
As expected, the vote Tuesday fell short of
the 60 votes needed to advance the legislation. President Obama and his Democratic
allies argue that the legislation is needed
to protect people who try to find out how
their pay stacks up against their co-workers.
Republicans said it puts too much burden
on employers.
The vote was the latest effort by Democrats
to protect their lead among critical women
voters this presidential and congressional
election year. Republicans are focusing on
the No. 1 concern for all voters: jobs and the
economy.
Obama strongly supports the bill.
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt
Romney has not taken a stand.
The Spike television network is airing a
competition this fall to award a fortified bunker to a family that believes the end of the
world is near.
Seriously.
The network said Tuesday that its six-episode series called “Last Family on Earth” will
feature survivalists competing to show how
tough and resourceful they are. The winner
gets an underground bunker in an undisclosed location.
Sharon Levy, executive vice president of
original programming at Spike, said the series
doesn’t necessarily coincide with the theory
that the ancient Mayan civilization predicted
the end of the world will arrive in December
2012. Levy said polls show that many people
believe that there will be a catastrophic event
that threatens civilization.

WASHINGTON — The Senate
began consideration Tuesday of
a farm and food bill that would
bring fundamental changes
to how the government protects food growers during hard
times, including putting an end
to paying farmers regardless of
whether they plant a crop.
The Senate is expected to
spend several weeks on the
five-year bill as lawmakers
thrash out differences between
Northern and Southern farmers over safety net programs
and address the costs of the
federal food stamp program,
which makes up about 80
percent of the $100 billion in
annual spending under the legislation.
The current farm act expires
at the end of September, and
getting a new plan in place by
then will likely require tough
negotiations between the
Senate and the House, which
is taking a different approach
to farm protection programs
and seeks deeper cuts than the
$23 billion over 10 years envisioned in the Senate bill. The
House Agriculture Committee
is expected to take up its version later this month.
Senate Agriculture Committee chairman Debbie Stabenow,
D-Mich., who crafted the
bill with the panel’s ranking Republican Pat Roberts of
Kansas, said it represented “the
most significant reform in agriculture policy in decades.”
She said she was confident
she had the 60 votes to formally begin debate on the bill if
opponents tried to block it.
The measure ends direct
payments to farmers who
may or may not actually plant
crops, saving some $5 billion
a year. That’s replaced with a
greater emphasis on federally
subsidized crop insurance and
a new program that compensates farmers for “shallow losses” in revenues as measured
over a five-year average.
“We’re not going to be paying farmers for crops they
don’t grow. We’re not going to
be paying farmers when they
are already doing very well,”
Stabenow said.
The new Agriculture Risk
Coverage program has the
backing of most major farm
groups, but faces resistance
from Southern rice and peanut
growers who say it hurts their
bottom lines. They are seeking
the retention of some kind of
target pricing to protect their
crops.
The Congressional Budget
Office estimates that the
Senate bill would save about
$8.5 billion over five years
by ending direct payments
as well as other commodity
support payments, and moving to the new ARC program
and save another $1.8 billion
by streamlining conservation
programs. It says $1.7 billion over five years and $4.5
billion over 10 years will be

The South Florida Sun Sentinel

Fausto Lopez, who made headlines
after leading a state trooper on a

Miami-Dade jurors have acquitted a South

The Miami-Herald reports that Kaufman called

collapsed on the bathroom floor. Paramedics
rushed Eleonora Kaufman to a nearby hospital,
where she was pronounced dead.
Prosecutors said Adam Kaufman strangled
his wife, leaving pronounced markings on
her neck, burst blood vessels in her eyes and
bruises on her body. No evidence for a motive
was presented.
Defense attorneys said evidence was overlooked by the homicide detective and medical
examiner.

A SpaceX spokeswoman says the

Gov. Scott requests review of 3 justices
TALLAHASSEE — Three veteran Florida
Supreme Court justices could possibly face
a criminal investigation and legal action
over the handling of their campaigns to
remain on the bench.
Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican who has
been critical of some of the court’s past
rulings, on Tuesday asked a state lawenforcement agency to decide whether
to investigate the justices over their use
of state employees to help finish electionrelated paperwork.
Meanwhile, a conservative legal group
is raising questions about whether the justices may be violating ethics rules because
they are raising money and urging voters
to keep them on the bench.
“No man is above the law, particularly those charged with enforcing the
law,” said Shannon Gosseling, executive director of the Southeastern Legal
Foundation.
Voters this fall will decide whether
Justices Fred Lewis, Barbara Pariente and
Peggy Quince deserve new six-year terms.
Two of the justices were appointed by
the late Democratic Gov. Lawton Chiles;
Quince was jointly appointed by Chiles
and then-incoming-Gov. Jeb Bush.
The three justices nearly missed the
deadline to qualify for the ballot in April.
The seven-member court abruptly put a
hearing on hold for more than an hour to
allow the justices to finish their paperwork
and turn it in to state elections officials
with just minutes to spare.
The justices wound up using court
employees to notarize the paperwork. A
state law prohibits candidates for office from using
state employees to help
their campaign during
working hours, although
it is unclear if that law
applies to judges. A violation of the law is a misdeLewis
meanor.
A Republican state lawmaker asked Scott to order
an investigation, but the
governor stated in a letter
that he lacks the authority to order one. Instead
he asked the Florida
Pariente
Department
of
Law
Enforcement — which
reports to Scott and three
other Republican officials
— to independently decide
if an investigation is warranted.
“I believe it is imporQuince
tant for the people of
Florida to have full faith and confidence
in all government officials,” Scott wrote
Rep. Scott Plakon, R-Longwood. “....
Thus a full accounting of the events at
issue ought to be provided, whereupon
entities with appropriate jurisdiction ...
can take any necessary and warranted
action.”
Dan Stengle, the legal counsel for the
three justices’ retention campaigns, has
said they did nothing wrong and that what
state workers did was routine. Election
records from 2010 show that four justices on the ballot that year also had their
paperwork notarized by court employees.
Gretl Plessinger, a spokeswoman for
FDLE, said the agency is reviewing Scott’s
request and would make a decision later
this week.
In Florida, appeals judges and supreme
court justices are appointed by the governor. But instead of running for re-election,
they are subject to an up or down merit
retention vote.
In 2010, the state Supreme Court
removed from the ballot three constitutional amendments pushed by the GOPcontrolled Legislature including a “health
care freedom” amendment sponsored by
Plakon that would have made it illegal in
Florida to have a health insurance mandate.
Legislators in 2011 reworked the amendment and placed it on this year’s ballot.
The Southeastern Legal Foundation
— the same group that pushed to have
President Bill Clinton lose his law license
— contends that under the state’s judicial
ethics rules, the justices can’t raise money
or actively campaign unless they have
organized opposition.
Stengle contends that a group known
as Restore Justice 2012 is mounting an
opposition campaign, so the campaigning is legal. He brushed aside any talk of a
potential lawsuit from the foundation.

measure was signed into law
last month by Gov. Rick Scott
and takes effect July 1.
The lawsuit, filed Monday
in Miami federal court, also
contends that the Floridabased Odebrecht subsidiary
is “remote and distant” from
another subsidiary working
on a project to expand Cuba’s
port of Mariel. Under the law,
that project could jeopardize
Odebrecht’s work in Florida.
The law applies to projects
worth $1 million or more.
The Florida company and
the one doing work in Cuba
are subsidiaries of Brazil’s
Odebrecht S.A., which does
engineering, construction and
other work around the world.

KEY WEST — Rain preempted the
Wednesday night league from playing last week, and no games were
scheduled for Memorial Day leaving a whole lot of Tuesday night
action in the Key West Coed Softball
League played at none other than
Pepe Hernandez Field in beautiful
Bayview Park.
According to the stats maintained
weekly by league CEO Bob Maun,
Old Town Fitness leads Tuesday
night action with a 7-1 record. The
fitness freaks have a two-game lead
on Shanna Key at 5-3.
In the Monday night league, T&W
Chevron leads Mr. Z’s by a game and
a half, sporting a 7-1 mark, as the
Philly makers are 4-1.
The Stone Crab is perfect in the
Wednesday league at 7-0 as Century
21 and Westin Warriors are second
and third, respectively, both with two
wins.

MIAMI — Dan Uggla hit two
homers in his first game at
Marlins Park, including a tapemeasure blow off the homerun sculpture, and Tim Hudson
pitched a five-hitter for his 13th
career shutout Tuesday night
to help the Atlanta Braves beat
Miami, 11-0.
Uggla hit a solo homer in the
fourth inning, and he scored
a direct hit on the middle of
the sculpture with a two-run
homer in the ninth, estimated
at 432 feet. That sent a thud
reverberating throughout the
ballpark and increased his
homer total to 10 this season
and 200 for his career.
Uggla also doubled and
scored before hitting a tworun single to finish with four
hits and five RBI, both season
highs. He spent his first five
seasons with the Marlins and
hit 78 home runs in their former home, the most by any
player.
Hudson (4-2) struck out
three, walked three and
allowed only one runner to
reach third base en route to
his 25th complete game. He
contributed a sacrifice fly and
a run-scoring single for his
first RBI this year.
The Marlins again mustered little support for Anibal
Sanchez (3-4), who allowed a
season-high seven runs in 62⁄3
innings. Miami has scored only
18 runs this season while he’s in
the game.

Islamorada All-Fly Gold Cup Invitational
Tarpon Tournament set for June 18-22
ISLAMORADA — For 25
tenacious fly-rod anglers, the
hot 2012 tarpon fishing season is expected to get even
hotter at the prestigious
Gold Cup Invitational Tarpon
Tournament, scheduled June
18-22 in Islamorada.
Created in 1964 as a spin,
plug and fly tournament, the
Gold Cup Invitational Tarpon
Tournament changed to the
current all-fly format in 1972.
One of its founders was baseball great and avid fly-fisherman Ted Williams.
An elite group of 25 experienced tournament anglers
and novices test their
strength, finesse, endurance
and technique in this allrelease four-day fishing event
that limits fly tippets to 16-
pound test.
The challenge kicks off
Sunday, June 17, with a
welcome party and anglers
meeting at 6 p.m. at Uncle’s
Restaurant, Mile Marker 80.9
oceanside in Islamorada.
Each fishing morning,
anglers are to be served
breakfast from 5-6 a.m.
at the Lorelei, MM 82 bayside in Islamorada. Fishing
begins with staggered starts
at 5:45 a.m. and continues
through lines-out at 3 p.m.
daily. Dockside cocktails and
hors d’oeuvres will be served
between 3:30 and 5 p.m. at
the Lorelei.
Scoring is based on points
awarded for either release or
weight fish. Release fish must
measure at least 48 inches
long, while weight fish must
exceed 70 pounds.
Awards are to be presented
at 5 p.m., Friday, June 22, at a
dockside party at the Lorelei.
The grand champion’s
name is to be engraved
on the tournament’s perpetual trophy, on display at
the World Wide Sportsman
store, MM 81.5 bayside in
Islamorada.
Entry fee is $1,250 per
angler, which includes all
social functions for the angler
and guide. Guide fees are the
angler’s responsibility.
Proceeds from the event
benefit children’s support
groups in the Florida Keys.

Canadiens hire Therrien
as their coach again
Astros pick another
SS to lead off 2nd day
Tommy Lasorda has
‘mild’ heart attack
9 jurors picked for
Sandusky abuse case
MONTREAL — Michel
Therrien is coach of the
Montreal Canadiens again, a
home-grown product who
rejoins a storied franchise that
fell to last place this season and
angered many Francophone
fans across Quebec over a previous coaching hire.
Therrien, a Montreal native,
succeeds Randy Cunneyworth.
He coached the Canadiens
from 2000 until he was replaced
by Claude Julien in 2003.
The announcement Tuesday
ended weeks of speculation.
NEW YORK — The
Houston Astros led off the
second day of the baseball
draft by selecting another
big-time shortstop.
With the initial pick of the
second round Tuesday, the
Astros took University of
Florida slick-fielding shortstop Nolan Fontana after
picking Carlos Correa of
Puerto Rico on Monday.
The team expects Correa
to play shortstop — but
acknowledged that he could
ultimately move to third.
NEW YORK — Hall of Fame
manager Tom Lasorda was
hospitalized in stable condition Tuesday, a day after having a “mild” heart attack while
representing the Los Angeles
Dodgers at the Major League
Baseball draft.
The Dodgers said doctors
inserted a stent to repair a
blocked artery in Lasorda’s
heart. The energetic, enthusiastic 84-year-old was resting comfortably and there
was a chance he could return
to California today.
BELLEFONTE, Pa. —
Connections to Penn State
weren’t necessarily keeping prospective jurors from
being chosen Tuesday to
decide former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky’s
fate on child sexual abuse
charges.
After nine of the 12 main
jurors were seated, their
ranks included a longtime
football season ticket holder,
a rising senior in the university, and a man with bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Devils keep faith
despite 0-3 deficit
Djokovic, Federer
each have to rally
to set rematch
BY HOWARD FENDRICH
PARIS — As the chilly evening air swirled, and raindrops
fell, and the thousands of spectators pulling for his opponent
hushed, Novak Djokovic stood
a single point from exiting the
French Open.
A single point from losing to
France’s Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the
quarterfinals at Roland Garros.
A single point from losing
the chance to pursue a fourth
consecutive Grand Slam title,
something no man has done in
43 years.
Steeling himself with so
much at stake, Djokovic came
through, taking that crucial
point thanks to an overhead
that skimmed off the baseline
to set up a putaway volley.
Seconds later, he faced the same
predicament — one point from
defeat — and came through
again, this time with a leaping
forehand that barely landed in.
All told, Djokovic faced four
match points against Tsonga
and won each one, extending
the contest until seizing control for good.
Djokovic won his 26th Grand
Slam match in a row Tuesday,
coming back and beating the
fifth-seeded Tsonga, 6-1, 5-7, 57, 7-6 (6), 6-1, to set up a French
Open rematch against 16-time
major champion Roger Federer.
A year ago in the semifinals at
Roland Garros, Federer ended
Djokovic’s 43-match winning
streak, the last time the Serb
lost at one of tennis’ four most
important tournaments.
“Tennis is very mental. Lots
of emotions,” said the No. 1ranked Djokovic, who won
Wimbledon last July, the U.S.
Open last September, and the
Australian Open in January. “If
you’re playing a top player, a
home favorite, and you have a
crowd that’s supporting him,
you have to face these things.
Physically, we’re all fit, all hit-
IN COURT
BY GREG BEACHAM
EL
SEGUNDO,
Calif.
— Although Martin Brodeur
seems likely to return next
season with the New Jersey
Devils, the 40-year-old goalie
also isn’t convinced their current season is over just yet.
While Brodeur acknowledges the enormity of New
Jersey’s plight in the Stanley
Cup finals, the three-time NHL
champion has been in plenty
of tight spots with teams playing a whole lot worse than
the Devils, who must beat the
Los Angeles Kings in Game 4

Thunder a win shy

MLB: ROUNDUP
Martin hits slam,
Pettitte dominant
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Go ahead,
call it what you want. It doesn’t
matter to Yankees manager Joe
Girardi. He’s pleased with his
team’s recent play however it’s
categorized.
Russell Martin hit a grand
slam to help stop the Yankees’
struggles with the bases loaded
and Andy Pettitte was dominant again at home, leading
New York to a 7-0 victory over
the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday
night.
Nick Swisher hit an RBI
double after Raul Ibanez was
walked intentionally and the
Yankees treated Rays starter
James Shields to another drubbing in the Bronx. Pettitte (3-2)
pitched two-hit ball for 7 1/3
innings, striking out 10 in New
York’s ninth win in 12 games.
“Whether it’s a streak or
it’s not a streak, I just like it,”
Girardi said of his team’s run
that has helped the Yankees

he leaves the game during the eighth inning Tuesday night against
Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium.
ORIOLES 8, RED SOX 6 (10)
BOSTON — Ronny Paulino ended
a hitless night with an RBI single in
the 10th inning to drive in the goahead run and Baltimore hung on
over Boston.
The Orioles recovered from Jim
Johnson’s first blown save opportunity of the season when Jarrod
Saltalammachia hit a two-run homer
ing well and the results aren’t
there, it’s hard,” Brodeur said
after the Devils’ brief practice
Tuesday at the Kings’ training complex. “We’ve got these
breaks along the way to get
where we are, but even though
we’re working hard, we’re not
getting the breaks now.”
New Jersey faces the prospect of becoming the first
team swept out of the Cup
finals since 1998, but the
Eastern Conference champions realize how close this
series has been. Coach Peter
DeBoer echoes Brodeur’s feeling about New Jersey’s 0-3
deficit to the Kings, who could
win their franchise’s first title
on home ice in Game 4.
with two outs in the bottom of the
ninth to tie it 6-all and force extra
innings.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
PIRATES 8, REDS 4
CINCINNATI — Clint Barmes had
three hits and drove in three runs,
and Pittsburgh extended its home-
run tear by hitting three more for a
victory over Cincinnati .
Neil Walker hit a two-run homer,
and Casey McGehee and Alex Presley
had solo shots, giving the Pirates
seven homers in their last two
games.
A.J. Burnett (5-2) won his fourth
straight start.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Down
and nearly out less than a
week ago, the Oklahoma City
Thunder are riding a momentum shift to the brink of the
NBA finals.
With three straight wins, the
Thunder have changed the
conversation from how anyone can stop the San Antonio
Spurs’ record-setting 20game winning streak to how
Oklahoma City needs just
one win on its home court in
Game 6 tonight to play for the
NBA title.
Hundreds of fans waited in
the middle of the night for the
Thunder’s plane to land after
Game 5, and thousands more
will pack Chesapeake Energy
Arena to cheer Oklahoma City
on. Yet, coach Scott Brooks
urged Tuesday that riding the
momentum isn’t enough to
get the job done.
“We have a great opportunity, we’re on our home floor but
that doesn’t guarantee automatic victory,” Brooks said
during a day off at the team’s
practice facility. “They’re not
going to give us the game.”

HORSE RACING: THE BELMONT STAKES
I’ll Have Another’s jockey hits the heights in New York
BY BETH HARRIS
NEW YORK — Taking in the
Manhattan skyline from atop the
Empire State Building, Mario Gutierrez
was a long way from his small hometown near Veracruz, Mexico.
The 25-year-old jockey checked out
the view on a sunny Tuesday morning
in his first trip to the Big Apple. He’d
already visited the ride that got him
here, having stopped by Belmont Park
earlier to check on I’ll Have Another.
Gutierrez and the colt will try to win
the Triple Crown for the first time in
34 years on Saturday in the Belmont
RICHARD DREW/The Associated Press
Mario Gutierrez, jockey for Kentucky
Derby and Preakness winner I’ll Have
Another, looks over Manhattan from the
observation deck of New York’s Empire
State Building, Tuesday.
Stakes.
Standing 86 stories above the bustling city, Gutierrez smiled as a knot
of photographers closed tightly in on
him. “Mario, over here,” they shouted.
“Turn this way.” He happily obliged as
tourists craned their necks to see the
short guy who is the poised to become
the toast of the racing world.
Later, Gutierrez told trainer Doug
O’Neill about his adventure, admitting that he felt dizzy and joking
that the historic building was “2 or
3 inches higher” than the roof at
Pimlico where he won the Preakness
on May 19.
“I’m not huge on heights,” said
O’Neill, who skipped the photo op
and met up with his jockey on a rooftop overlooking Rockefeller Center.
“You get a little nervous hearing about
it.”
Gutierrez has been unflappable
since being thrust into the spotlight
with I’ll Have Another’s comeback win
in the Kentucky Derby on May 5.
“He’s handled the pressure well and
he knows his horse well,” former jockey Richard Migliore said. “He and the
horse both have a lot of confidence in
each other and that’s something that’s
critical to their success.”
Migliore plans to walk Belmont’s
11⁄2-mile course with Gutierrez on
Thursday, pointing out its sweeping
turns and long stretch that make the
layout different than the mile tracks
where most jockeys ride. Gutierrez is
scheduled to ride some races Friday
to get used to the conditions before
laying it on the line Saturday.
“Learn the poles, they’re very important,” said John Velazquez, who will be
aboard Union Rags in the Belmont.
“When you run in the Belmont, you
got to know where you are.”
Migliore said he’ll caution Gutierrez
not to be tricked into starting his
final drive too early or else I’ll Have
Another might not have enough left to
get through the 1,097-yard stretch.

KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIED
HOROSCOPES for today
WEDNESDAY, June 6, 2012
In the year ahead, you’re likely
to sharpen your skills and take a
more active interest in a social
activity, sport or hobby. This won’t
be a frivolous pursuit, because
there’s a good chance it will be
linked in some manner to prosperity and/or popularity.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - You should guard against an
inclination to be too possessive or too demanding of your
loved ones. This type of behavior
usually has a tendency to push
others away, instead of drawing
them to you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Neither you nor your mate
should make any major decision
without first discussing it with the
other. If either of you take action
independently, it will only cause
problems.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Someone you dislike for no
particular reason doesn’t feel the
same way about you. Instead of
holding fast to this bias, give the
BRIDGE TIPS
person the benefit of the doubt
and get to know him or her better.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - If you give in to urges to take
a risk on an exciting someone,
there’s a good chance you could
back the wrong horse. It’s what’s
deep within this person that really counts, and chances are it
stinks.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -The possibilities for the kind of
independent operation you like
are very slim, mostly because
you’re likely to allow others to
make demands on your time. Try
to make some time for yourself,
as well.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Don’t permit a past infraction
by another to totally distort your
thinking about him or her. Be
on guard, but allow this person
a second chance, just in case it
was one rare moment of indiscretion.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- A friend of yours who has
yet to return something that he
or she borrowed will put the bite
on you for another loan. Before
you accede, establish some strict
ground rules.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Striving to make your mark
in the world is admirable, but not
if it’s done at the expense of others. Know the difference between
climbing and clawing your way
up to the top.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Be careful about offering any
advice to others, even if asked.
If what you say is misunderstood
or misinterpreted, you could be
blamed for the asking party’s
failure.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -There is a negative situation that
you’ve had ample opportunity to
change but that you haven’t done
anything about. Unfortunately,
this opens the door for another
to walk in and alter it to his or her
liking.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- If an alliance that you established in the past didn’t work
out, think twice before getting
involved once again. Ask: was
it the team or the objective that
was at fault?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Just because a co-worker isn’t
in accord with your way of doing
things doesn’t mean you can’t
succeed. Don’t allow a disagreement between you to shut the
production down.
THETRICKS
WERE SQUASHED
TOGETHER
By Phillip Alder
Actress Cameron Diaz
said, “I can spend hours
in a grocery store. I get so
excited when I see food; I go
crazy. I spend hours arranging my baskets so that everything fits in and nothing gets
squashed.”
That’s weird! At the
bridge table, though, sometimes tricks get squashed.
In this deal, for example,
South, in four hearts, seemed
destined to lose two hearts,
one diamond and two clubs.
But bridge can be strange at
times. How did South get
home after West led the diamond king?
West used the Unusual
No-trump to show his minor
two-suiter. (After a strengthshowing
two-over-one
response by South, it would
have been illogical for West’s
overcall to show a strong
balanced hand, because
East would then have had
a Yarborough and two notrump doubled would have
gone down several tricks.)
Then West was right to pass,
especially given the unfavorable vulnerability. Here, five
diamonds (and five clubs)
doubled can be defeated by
three tricks, costing 800.
South won trick one with
his diamond ace and cashed
the ace and king of hearts.
With the 4-1 break
revealed, it was time to
score tricks with declarer’s
low trumps. South cashed
dummy’s top spades, ruffed
a spade, and led a diamond.
West took his queen and
could not do better than lead
another diamond. Declarer
ruffed on the board, trumped
another spade, played a club
to the ace, and ruffed the last
spade. South had taken two
spades, two hearts, one diamond, one club, three ruffs
in his hand and one ruff on
the board for 10 tricks.

WOMAN WHO’S HAPPILY SINGLE WANTS TO
KEEP IT THAT WAY
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 28-year-old,
newly single female who has never
been happier. I’ve had a couple of longterm relationships that didn’t turn out
well, so my quiet, uncomplicated life
is refreshing. All I’m looking for now is
to make new friends and enjoy
myself.
A few guys have asked me
for my phone number -- usually
through social networking -- and
have suggested getting together
for a couple of drinks. As nice
as that would be, the last thing I
want to do is lead anyone on or
give him the wrong impression.
When I do decide to start looking,
it will be for no one less than my
Prince Charming, and I don’t regard
any of these men as that. Going out
with girlfriends is hard because they’re
mostly married with children.
What and when is the best way
to tell guys that, as much as I enjoy
their company, I am looking only
for friendship at this time? I live in
a relatively small town, so going out
with different men on a regular basis
gives people the wrong idea about
me. -- WANTS ONLY FRIENDSHIP IN
MICHIGAN
DEARWANTS ONLY FRIENDSHIP:
I understand your feelings, but please
allow me to point out that meeting
Prince Charming can be an accident of
luck and timing. In addition to that, he
doesn’t always come dashing forth on
a white horse -- sometimes it’s an old
clunker.
If you announce to any man who
asks you out for a couple of drinks
that you’re interested only in friendship,
he will interpret it as rejection, so I
don’t advise you to make that your
lead sentence. A better retort might
be that rather than going out for
drinks, you’d prefer to start with coffee
and conversation. Who knows? The
longer he talks, the more attractive
he may become. Stranger things have
happened.
DEAR ABBY: My 20-year-old
daughter, “Roxanne,” is attending
college in a big city known for
its crime rate, unemployment
and despair. She lives alone in
an apartment just off campus.
She’s a smart girl, careful and
cautious, but I still worry about
her to the point of sleepless
nights and a general feeling of
“when” something will happen
-- not if.
Roxanne’s apartment was
broken into last Christmas. Thankfully,
she wasn’t there at the time. Since then,
my worry has intensified -- especially if
I don’t hear from her for a few hours. We
usually text or call each other at least
once a day. If I don’t hear from her, I
panic.
My husband calls me a professional
worrier and says I need to trust that our
daughter is safe. I don’t think I’ll ever
NOT worry about her, and the truth is
I really want her to move back home. I
realize this would be counterproductive
to her achieving success, but I don’t
know how to let go of the worry. I need
advice, Abby. Is this just a “mom thing”
or should I seek help? -- HALF-CRAZED
MOM IN MICHIGAN
DEAR MOM: It’s a “mom thing”
taken to the extreme. One of the reasons
that children go away to college is so
they -- and their parents -- can learn to
live independently from each other. For
you to expect your daughter to call or
text you at least once a day feeds your
dependence on her. It appears you suffer
from a case of parental hypervigilance
-- and yes, for both your sakes, you
should seek professional help.
