Louis LaTorre, former head of the
Monroe County’s Social Services
Division, has lost his bid to overturn
a 2008 conviction of driving under the
influence with serious bodily injury to
another.
“Justice has been delayed long
enough on this case,” Monroe County
Chief Assistant State Attorney Manny
Madruga said Tuesday.
After the 3rd District Court of Appeal
rejected
LaTorre’s
appeal Wednesday,
Madruga filed a motion
Monday asking the
court to order LaTorre
to begin serving his
prison sentence. A
LaTorre
hearing on Madruga’s
motion is set for May
31 before circuit Judge Luis Garcia,
who sentenced LaTorre nearly three
years ago.
A jury found LaTorre guilty of DUI
in a head-on collision that left Nadia
Bowman of Key West seriously and
permanently injured. Bowman, a
Czech Republic native, suffered extensive injuries, is confined to a wheelchair and suffers memory loss related
to brain injury.
LaTorre was driving his truck south

Three vessels bearing
city’s name have sailed
since the Civil War
BY TIMOTHY O’HARA

Citizen Staff
Most major cities are lucky if they have one
military ship named in their honor. However,
tiny Key West — population 23,000 — can
proudly boast three military vessels named
after the town, including a Navy submarine
still in operation.
“This is just a reflection of our island’s
uniqueness,” said David Harrison Wright, a
maritime historian and artist who has captured all three ships on canvas. “It shows how
important Key West has been over the years
as a naval station. The military first came
down and made it safe. It would have been an
entirely different place at that time if it weren’t
for the military.”
To celebrate the history of the ships, a group
of Key Westers are working on a small monument to three military vessels at Mallory
Square, according to Bud and Preston Brewer,
who are spearheading the effort.
The monument to the three USS Key West
ships will be placed in the Key West-Florida
Keys Military Memorial, which was created

Critics of saltwater fish farms
say large commercial operations that raise thousands of
grouper, snapper and cobia in
offshore pens could be looming on Florida’s horizon.
Such operations, referred to
as offshore aquaculture, have
drawn the interest — and concern — of commercial fishermen, consumer groups, environmental organizations and
federal regulators. And they are
expected to be a focal point
of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s
(NOAA) Marine Fisheries
Advisory Committee meeting
this week in Key West.
The three-day meeting
begins today and concludes
Thursday at the Florida Keys

stakeholders also are expected
to discuss climate change, seafood safety as it pertains to the

“These cases are so difficult because as soon as you
clean up one area, another

a never-ending cycle.”
Detectives had warrants
for 27 people, 18 of whom
were arrested in the sweep
that began Friday, Ramsay
said. Most of the charges
in Marathon were related
to crack cocaine, and those
in Big Pine Key primarily
involved illegal prescription
pill sales.
“Big Pine has a pharmaceutical problem,” Ramsay said,
“and crack cocaine was the No.

He said one person who
was arrested Friday previously had been arrested on drug
charges about two months
ago, and that deputies helped
get two small children at the
house ready for school.
“Unfortunately, some of
these people are people we
see year after year,” Ramsay
said. “It’s a shame.”

KEY WEST — A man who was
flailing his arms and screaming that he is a “road warrior”
was arrested in Old Town early
Saturday, a Key West Police
Department incident report says.
Michael Henry Carey, 60, of
Key West, was charged with
resisting arrest with violence
and disorderly conduct.
An officer reportedly saw
Carey near Duval and Southard
streets at about 12:55 a.m.
shouting at people on the sidewalk. People were avoiding
him, and two bicyclists reportedly told the officer that Carey
began yelling at them, but they
didn’t know why.
Carey later said he was upset
at two bicyclists who nearly hit
an elderly couple and blamed his
outburst on them, reports say.
Carey twice tried to avoid
the officer, who had told him
several times to stop walking
away from
him, reports
say. The officer grabbed
Carey and a
brief struggle
ensued, ending with the
Carey
officer kneeing Carey in the back of the legs
to take him to the ground and
handcuff him, reports say.
The officer took Carey to
Lower Keys Medical Center
before jail because he noticed
his genitals were bleeding
through his pants, reports say.
Carey was being held in the
Monroe County Detention
Center on Stock Island without bond Monday night.
Information is obtained from
reports provided by area law
enforcement agencies.

could help solve a crime in the
Keys, call Crime Stoppers, (800)

Event benefits ship commissioning
The public is invited to a workshop
to solicit community input on the city’s
Carrying Capacity Traffic Study.
The workshop will be at 5 p.m. Thursday
at Old City Hall, 510 Greene St.
The study results will be used to determine the capacity of roadways and form
the basis for future regulation and monitoring for a 10-year planning period.
Consultant Calvin, Giordano & Associates will address specialized vehicles and
their impact to roadways and adjacent
land uses, including mobility, noise and
air quality.
It also will address volume of vehicles,
circulation, conflicts between vehicular
and non-vehicular traffic, and methods
for reducing impacts in residential neighborhoods.
Florida Rep. Ron Saunders will
address the Tavernier Community
Association at a town hall meeting
next month.
The meeting will be at 7 p.m. June
2 at the Masonic Lodge, Mile Marker
91.8 bayside, one block behind
Froggy’s gym. The association’s business meeting will follow.
The group will ask Saunders for
a synopsis of the recent legislative
session, including the less-publicized
happenings, as well as a forecast for
the next session and his reflections on
being the House Minority Leader.
The association is a nonprofit
whose purpose is to represent the
needs and desires of the Tavernier
community.
A gala reception and showing of the epic
movie “Midway” will be the first in a series of

Actor Christian Slater recently paid a surprise visit to the Keys
Center Academy at Florida Keys Community College while in
town visiting friend Cathy Sembert, who teaches at the center.
He told the girls about the importance of taking responsibility,
having supportive friends and family, making their dreams come
true and to always ‘keep it real.’ He said one of the greatest life
lessons he learned is ‘what humility is all about.’
as “tin-clad” military vessels,
Wright said.
The Key West patrolled the
rivers and escorted supply
ships, engaging the “enemy
in hit-and-run fights,” Wright
said. On Nov. 4, the Key West
and two other Union gunboats
where caught in a narrow section of the Tennessee River near
Johnsonville and were attacked
by Confederate forces. The
Key West was struck 19 times
by rifled artillery fire. The two
other ships were also struck
numerous times. Almost out of
ammunition, the three boats
were set on fire and scuttled,
Wright said.
The second USS Key West
was launched in December
1943 by the American Ship
Co. of Ohio. The frigate was
commissioned in Houston in
November 1944 and escorted
vessels near Bermuda until
ordered to Boston in July 1944,
when it was converted to a
weather ship. The ship was stationed in various places dur-
ing the following years until
it was decommissioned in
Bremerton, Wash., in 1946. It
eventually was sold for scrap in
1947, Wright said.
The third USS Key West, a
Los Angeles class nuclear submarine, was launched in July
1985 in Newport News, Va., and
commissioned in September
1987. The ship is capable of
carrying 12 Tomahawk cruise
missiles.
The submarine visited her
namesake city for a weeklong
commissioning celebration in
1987, and returned in 1992 and
1994. The ship is now based in
Hawaii and has traveled around
the world, Wright said.
The monument project will
cost $25,000, and organizers
are still about $12,000 short,
said Bud and Preston Brewer.
Organizers are raising funds,
in part by selling high-quality prints of Wright’s three signature paintings of the ships,
Harrison said.

multiple reasons, including
the need for regulations to
clarify legal issues and concerns about aquaculture-generated pollution.
Fish farming is banned in
federal waters, though some
states such as Maine and
Washington allow farming of
some species, such as salmon,
in their state waters. Florida
allows clam aqua farms in state
waters, but no fin fish farms,
said NOAA Fisheries spokeswoman Kim Amendola.
NOAA Fisheries was in the
process of developing a plan
to allow offshore fish farms
when, in 2009, Washington
D.C.-based Food & Water
Watch and other environmental advocacy groups filed
a lawsuit against the agency
and the U.S. secretary of commerce to prevent fish farming
in federal waters in the Gulf
of Mexico. The groups claim
offshore aquaculture operations pollute waters and hurt
conventional commercial and
recreational fisheries.
The next year, Judge Gladys
Kessler of the U.S. District
Court of the District of
Columbia ruled that the lawsuit was premature because
NOAA had not yet developed
a body of regulation for fish
farms.
Wednesday’s
session
addresses regulation, its
implementation and development of a 10-year plan,
according to the agenda.
Food & Water Watch will be
watching.
“This meeting in Key West is
noteworthy because the real
question is are we going to see
this plan revised?” said Food
& Water Watch attorney Zach
Corrigan.
National Marine Sanctuaries
Regional Administrator Billy
Causey said he is not aware of
any proposals for such farms
in the Keys.
Bill Kelly, executive director
of the Florida Keys Commercial
Fishermen’s Association, said
he thinks Keys fish farms are
unlikely.
“At this point the discussion
is centered on the practice as a
whole,” said Causey.
Even so, Kelly said Keys
commercial fishermen are
concerned that fish farms in
the Gulf of Mexico would pollute seawater with fecal matter
and antibiotics, both of which
could enter Keys waters via
Gulf currents.
“We know from satellite
surveys and studies that what
happens up there ends up in
the Keys,” Kelly said. “It could
impact our spiny lobster and
our grassy sea bottoms. Those
are part of the problem.”
Another problem, Kelly
said, is that the huge pens are
anchored to the seafloor in
hurricane-vulnerable areas.
“What if they break loose?”
Kelly asked. “Now you have a
tangled mess of webbing with
literally tens of thousands of
dead fish entangled. Or what
if a red tide rolls by and kills
them all. Then what do you
do?”
A red tide is a large algal
bloom that colors the water
and is toxic to many forms of
marine life.
“Our concern,” said Kelly,
“is taking an industrial model
from land to sea, which
results in harm to wild fish
that could really impact the
environment and commercial fishermen who depend
on a healthy ecosystem for
their livelihood.”

Justice on Wall Street
could restore confidence
T
he conviction of billionaire Wall Street
tycoon Raj Rajaratnam
by a New York federal jury this
month may be a welcome and
overdue sign that the criminal
justice system can still hold
major white collar criminals
accountable. But if the founder
of Galleon Group hedge fund
turns out to be just a sacrificial
lamb, his conviction won’t do
much to win back the public’s
trust.
Ever since the collapse of
the economy began in 2007,
Americans have been rightly
skeptical about the ability of
regulators to prevent the rampant market manipulation and
self-enrichment that generated
huge profits for insiders and
enormous losses for defenseless investors. Prosecutors
haven’t done a great cleanup
job, either.
Wall Street scandals are
nothing new. But when the
1980s produced the savingsand-loan debacle that led to a
massive government bailout
at taxpayer expense, it was followed by hundreds of felony
convictions in major cases
involving high-placed executives. The public purse took a
beating, but the guilty paid the
price. Justice was done, or so it
seemed.
Today, justice remains on
hold. Prosecutors have been
either unwilling or unable
to pursue the wrongdoers.
Early on, two Bear Stearns
executives, Ralph Cioffi and
Matthew Tannin, were indicted
after their internal hedge fund
collapsed, but a jury acquitted
them. Apparently, that made
prosecutors decide that financial fraud cases were too hard
to win.
Earlier this year, it was
reported that the Justice
Department would not prosecute an emblematic figure in
the collapse of the U.S. housing market — Angelo Mozilo,
former chief executive of
Countrywide Financial, once
the nation’s largest mortgage
lender. Prosecutors let Mr.
Mozilo walk even after he
agreed to pay $67.5 million to
Editorial
settle a civil fraud case brought
by the Securities and Exchange
Commission for concealing the risks of the subprime
mortgage markets in public
statements to shareholders.
Another big fish, Joe
Cassano, whose enthusiasm
for credit default swaps (and
the huge profits they made for
him and insurance giant AIG)
led to the $100 billion federal
bailout of the company, once
seemed a sure target for prosecutors, but he, too, was never
called to answer.
This sorry record has
undermined public confidence — in markets, in the
justice system, in the government. In all these cases, insiders got the check, taxpayers
got the bill. Some blame a lack
of resources — the FBI is too
busy pursuing the threat of
terrorism — or the difficulty
of proving financial fraud
beyond a reasonable doubt.
Either way, the feeling persists
that there’s no justice.
Raj Rajaratnam’s insidertrading practices were typical
of the rampant avarice that
motivated so many of those
who were responsible for
the economic collapse. His
conviction sends a needed
signal to Wall Street that, as
U.S. Attorney Pheet Bharara
declared, “Greed, sometimes,
is not good.”
Mr. Bharara used wiretaps
for the first time to listen in
on Wall Street figures swapping illegal tips. Such tactics
are usually reserved for major
mob and racketeering cases.
More indictments may be on
the way. “I wish we could say
we were just about finished,
but, sadly, we are not,” Mr.
Bharara said.
He should be held to that
promise. Only when the public
believes that those who caused
the biggest economic collapse
since the Great Depression
will be held accountable will
confidence in the system be
restored.

Letters to the editor
Landowners know area
designated for flooding
I didn’t expect to be writing another letter, but here goes.
I live in southern Louisiana in one of
the parishes that will be impacted with
floodwaters from the opened Morganza
Floodway. To the gentleman who believes
that the federal government will have to
compensate all of the homeowners who
are flooded because this is a “taking” of
their property rights — sorry, you are
wrong.
The majority of these property owners
have properties that were designated for
this purpose in the ’30s, and the owners
of record at that time were compensated.
The right to flood is part and parcel of
their properties’ conveyance, and they
should have known that this would happen. If they did not know this, they had a
bad lawyer for their property purchase.
Now some people will be flooded who
were never compensated and they will be
taken care of, either through their federal
flood insurance or by FEMA [the Federal
Emergency Management Agency]. But
that is a small percentage of the lands
flooded.
Just like living in the Florida Keys, we
know we have to be prepared for various
natural/man-made disasters. So we just
say, “C’est la vie!”

Houma, La.
Flood plain residents
are aware of the risk
A letter on Sunday questioned the
right of the federal government to flood
rural lands by opening the Morganza
Spillway to spare Baton Rouge, La., and
New Orleans. As it happens, generations
ago, the government purchased “spillway
easements” to allow them to do just that.
Although the government has exercised
that right only once before, in 1973, it
sends annual notices to the landowners
reminding them of the easements. The
residents are very aware of the situation,
and this has actually limited development
in the spillway.
The more interesting angle is that the
spillway would be permanently flooded if
the government did not spend billions of
dollars to build and maintain something
called the Old River Diversion Structure
(ORDS). The Mississippi River is long
overdue to switch course and rechannel
itself down the Atchafalaya River, the spillway that is now flooded. Only the heroic
effort of the U.S. Amry Corps of Engineers
and the U.S. taxpayers have maintained
the ORDS and prevented Baton Rouge
and New Orleans from becoming smelly,
pestilential inland cities. I suppose New
Orleans’ bars would survive, but its seaport wouldn’t.

When austerity fails — financial dominoes lined up across Europe
BY PAUL KRUGMAN
The New York Times
I
often complain, with
reason, about the state of
economic discussion in
the United States. And the irresponsibility of certain politicians — like those Republicans
claiming that defaulting on
U.S. debt would be no big deal
— is scary.
But at least in America
members of the pain caucus,
those who claim that raising
interest rates and slashing government spending in the face
of mass unemployment will
somehow make things better
instead of worse, get some
push-back from the Federal
Reserve and the Obama
administration.
In Europe, by contrast,
the pain caucus has been in
control for more than a year,
insisting that sound money
and balanced budgets are
the answer to all problems.
Underlying this insistence
have been economic fantasies,
in particular belief
in the confidence
fairy — that is, belief
that slashing spending will actually
create jobs, because
fiscal austerity will
improve private-sector confidence.
Unfortunately, the
confidence fairy keeps refusing
to make an appearance. And
a dispute over how to handle
inconvenient reality threatens
to make Europe the flash point
of a new financial crisis.
After the creation of the euro
in 1999, European nations that
had previously been considered risky, and that therefore
faced limits on the amount
they could borrow, began
experiencing huge inflows
of capital. After all, investors
apparently thought, Greece/
Portugal/Ireland/Spain were
members of a European monetary union, so what could go
wrong?
The answer to that question is now, of course, pain-
fully apparent.
Greece’s government,
finding itself able
to borrow at rates
only slightly higher
than those facing
Germany, took on
far too much debt.
The governments of
Ireland and Spain
didn’t (Portugal is somewhere
in between) — but their
banks did, and when the
bubble burst, taxpayers found
themselves on the hook for
bank debts. The problem
was made worse by the fact
that the 1999-2007 boom left
prices and costs in the debtor
nations far out of line with
those of their neighbors.
What to do? European leaders offered emergency loans
to nations in crisis, but only
in exchange for promises
to impose savage austerity
programs, mainly consisting of huge spending cuts.
Objections that these programs would be self-defeating
— not only would they impose
large direct pain, but they also
would, by worsening the economic slump, reduce revenues
— were waved away. Austerity
would actually be expansionary, it was claimed, because it
would improve confidence.
Nobody bought into the
doctrine of expansionary
austerity more thoroughly
than Jean-Claude Trichet, the
president of the European
Central Bank, or ECB. Under
his leadership the bank began
preaching austerity as a universal economic elixir that
should be imposed immediately everywhere, including in
countries like Britain and the
United States that still have
high unemployment and aren’t
facing any pressure from the
financial markets.
But as I said, the confidence
fairy hasn’t shown up. Europe’s
troubled debtor nations are,
as we should have expected,
suffering further economic
decline thanks to those austerity programs, and confidence
is plunging instead of rising.
It’s now clear that Greece,
Ireland and Portugal can’t and
won’t repay their debts in full,
although Spain might manage
to tough it out.
Realistically, then, Europe
needs to prepare for some kind
of debt reduction, involving a
combination of aid from stronger economies and “haircuts”
imposed on private creditors,
who will have to accept less
than full repayment. Realism,
however, appears to be in
short supply.
On one side, Germany is
taking a hard line against
anything resembling aid to
its troubled neighbors, even
though one important motivation for the current rescue program was an attempt to shield
German banks from losses.
On the other side, the ECB
is acting as if it is determined
to provoke a financial crisis.
It has started to raise interest
rates despite the terrible state
of many European economies.
And ECB officials have been
warning against any form of
debt relief — in fact, last week
one member of the governing
council suggested that even
a mild restructuring of Greek
bonds would cause the ECB
to stop accepting those bonds
as collateral for loans to Greek
banks. This amounted to a
declaration that if Greece seeks
debt relief, the ECB will pull
the plug on the Greek banking system, which is crucially
dependent on those loans.
If Greek banks collapse, that
might well force Greece out
of the euro area — and it’s all
too easy to see how it could
start financial dominoes falling across much of Europe. So
what is the ECB thinking?
My guess is that it’s just not
willing to face up to the failure of its fantasies. And if this
sounds incredibly foolish, well,
who ever said that wisdom
rules the world?

The Blue Angels have canceled a practice and show this week at the U.S. Naval
Academy.
The flight squadron made the announcement Monday, a day before the scheduled
practice and two days before the show.
Blue Angels spokeswoman Navy Lt.
Katie Kelly said the team’s commander
imposed a safety stand-down after a
problem in a diamond formation involving four of the six F/A-18 Hornets on
Sunday at an air show in Lynchburg,
Va. She said the jets were flying below
their specified altitude and ended the
maneuver.
All six aircraft landed safely about threefourths of the way through the scheduled performance without damage to the
planes or injury to the pilots.
The Department of Children and
Families is cutting nearly 500 positions to
save the state $48 million.
About half the positions will come from
three state hospitals: Florida State Hospital,
Northeast Florida State Hospital and North
Florida Evaluation and Treatment Center.
Secretary David Wilkins promised
Monday not to balance the budget on
the backs of front-line workers including
caseworkers, child investigators and other
first responders.
Wilkins said the agency will consolidate back office services and streamline
departments including human resources,
information technology and budgeting.
The cuts come as Republican Gov. Rick
Scott is trying balance the state budget
and slash spending by nearly $4 billion.
An appeal court has ordered a sex
offender released from involuntary civil
commitment, where he was held for
nine years without a hearing.
A three-judge panel of the 1st District
Court of Appeal on Monday granted the
order sought by Brian Taylor who completed a 15-year sentence for armed
sexual battery in May 2002.
Sex offenders can be detained in civil
commitment after finishing their sentences. But a petition must be filed
while still in custody, and a hearing
must be held within 30 days.
The appeal panel ruled Taylor was
no longer in custody last year when the
state filed a new petition and dropped
its appeal of a judge’s decision dismissing the first one.
Drugs
Detectives made numerous drug buys totaling several
thousand dollars, but Ramsay
didn’t provide specific numbers.
“Unfortunately, in some
of these cases we have to let
some money go in order to
keep the investigation going,”
he said. “If you make one buy
and go in to arrest too soon,
everyone gets scared and lays
low. So we have to spend some
money. It’s a worthwhile but
necessary evil sometimes with
these type of cases.”
Ramsay said the Sheriff’s
Office hopes to recover that
money via the courts, which
often require convicts to pay
investigative costs as well as
court costs as part of their sentencing.

A black bear that had been eluding officers for about an hour was
caught near downtown Fort Myers Monday after wildlife officials
shot it with a tranquilizer gun.
What to do about icky sticky whiteflies
What are they?
Whiteflies are small, winged insects that are part
of the family that includes aphids, scales and
mealybugs. Because they feed on the undersides
of leaves, they injure plants by sucking them of
nutrients, causing them to wilt, yellow, drop leaves,
stunt their growth or die. More than 75 species
have been reported in Florida.
Gardeners, landscapers, the Monroe County
Extension Services and the Key West Tree
Commission are closely watching the nonnative
rugose spiraling whitefly, which lays its eggs on
leaves and deposits a white, waxy substance on
the egg and secretes a gooey, saplike film called
honeydew that covers anything outside.
How do I control them?
• Washing plants with water can help manage
whiteflies for small plants or minor infestations.
The immature stages and eggs must be removed
from the leaves.
• Horticultural oil or insecticidal soap can also
help. Typically, several applications are required
seven to 10 days apart.
• If the infestation is severe, an insecticide may
be needed. It is important to use the appropriate
chemicals, methods and timing to get the best
control with the least amount of detriment to the
flies’ natural enemies or the environment.
Where can I learn more?
Kim Gabel, an Environmental Horticulture agent
with the University of Florida and Monroe County
Extension Services, will hold a free workshop on
the ficus and rugose spiraling whiteflies from 6
to 7:30 p.m. June 1 on the second floor of the
Harvey Government Center, 1200 Truman Ave.,
Key West.
Another workshop is scheduled from 6 to 7:30
p.m. June 13 at the Marathon Government Center,
2978 Overseas Highway, Marathon.
Both workshops will feature Gabel and a panel of
landscapers and pest control operators who will
share their experiences in dealing with these new
pests.
For more information visit http://monroe.ifas.ufl.
edu or call Gabel at 305-292-4501.

Scott, state begin annual hurricane exercise
BY BILL KACZOR
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE — Florida began its
sometimes annual hurricane exercise
Monday after skipping the practice storm
last year because officials were busy with
a real emergency — the Gulf of Mexico
oil spill.
The hurricane taking aim at Florida is
fictional, but it’s designed to provide realistic training for a new emergency team
headed by Gov. Rick Scott.
What’s been dubbed “Hurricane Griffin”
is following the same track as Hurricane
Frances in 2004, taking the pretend storm
across the southern part of Florida’s peninsula from east to west and into the gulf
toward Tallahassee.
That forced Scott and emergency mangers to evacuate the capital city for a temporary headquarters at the Florida National
Guard’s Fort Blanding near Jacksonville.
It’s the first hurricane exercise for Scott,
who was elected last November, but he’s
already mimicking his predecessors, Jeb
Bush and Charlie Crist, by urging Floridians

Lauderdale.
to “get a plan” during a news conference to
kick off the four-day exercise.
Scott also issued a proclamation
declaring this to be Florida Hurricane
Preparedness Week in tandem with
National Hurricane Preparedness Week.
State officials for years have been
preaching that Floridians should develop
a plan for evacuating or sustaining themselves by stocking up on necessities such
as canned food, bottled water, flashlights,
batteries and portable radios. The Division
of Emergency Management offers guidance for such a plan on its website: http://
www.FloridaDisaster.org .
Officials’ biggest worry is complacency
because Florida has gone five years without a hurricane landfall.
“We cannot, however, take this good fortune for granted,” Scott said. “It is important that we remain prepared.”
All state agencies as well as county
emergency management departments are
taking part in the exercise that will test
computers, communications gear and
other equipment as well as personnel.
Officials will be coping with simulated
flood and wind hazards as well as possible
tornadoes spun off from the storm.
Once it makes landfall, the focus will
shift to response, recover and restoration
of services in southeast Florida while planning continues for a second landfall in the
Panhandle.

Tax cheats got stimulus money
Chrysler to repay loans today
Reputed mob boss taken down
Thousands of companies that cashed
in on President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus package owed the government millions in unpaid taxes, congressional investigators have found.
The General Accounting Office report is
to be released today. It says at least 3,700
government contractors and nonprofit
organizations that received more than
$24 billion from the stimulus effort owed
$757 million in back taxes as of Sept. 30,
2009, the end of that budget year.
The report says the tax delinquents
account for nearly 6 percent of the 63,000
contractors and grantees examined and
cautions that the real number might be
higher because income underreporting
was not taken into account.
Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne said
Monday that his company will save $300
million in interest a year when it repays
$7.5 billion in U.S. and Canadian government loans today. Chrysler plans to
announce the repayment at a Detroitarea auto assembly plant this afternoon.
Marchionne has said that Chrysler
is eager to pay back its loans in part
because of the governments’ high interest rates of around 12 percent, which
cost the company $1.2 billion last year.
Under a new loan package announced
last week, the company’s interest rates
will fall to around 6 percent. That will
boost the bottom line at Chrysler. The
company reported a $116 million profit
— its first quarterly profit since its 2009
bankruptcy — in the first quarter.
The reputed boss of the Philadelphia
mob, his alleged lieutenant and 11 others were hit with federal racketeering
and gambling charges in an indictment
unsealed Monday that federal authorities
said shows that violent organized crime
remains a real-life menace.
Alleged mob leader Joseph “Uncle
Joe” Ligambi, reputed underboss Joseph
“Mousie” Massimino and the others ran
illegal gambling operations and engaged
in loan sharking, according to the 70-page
indictment that described a “Godfather”like world in which reputed mobsters
used threats to kill or harm people to
recoup business debts.
Eleven people, including Ligambi, were
arrested Monday. The other two defendants were already in federal custody.

Death toll from Joplin tornado climbs to 116
BY ALAN SCHER ZAGIER
AND JIM SALTER
JOPLIN, Mo. — Rescue crews
dug through piles of splintered houses and crushed cars
Monday in a search for victims of a half-mile-wide tornado that blasted much of this
Missouri town off the map and
slammed straight into its hospital.
At least 116 people died,
making it the nation’s deadliest single tornado in nearly
60 years and the second major
tornado disaster in a month.
An unknown number of people
were hurt.
Authorities feared the toll
could rise as the full scope of the
destruction comes into view:
House after house reduced to
slabs, cars crushed like soda
cans, shaken residents roaming streets in search of missing family members. And the
danger was by no means over.
Fires from gas leaks burned
across town, and more violent
weather loomed, including the
threat of hail, high winds and
even more tornadoes.
At daybreak, the city’s south
side emerged from darkness as
a barren, smoky wasteland.
“I’ve never seen such devastation — just block upon
block upon block of homes just
completely gone,” said former
state legislator Gary Burton
who showed up to help at a
volunteer center at Missouri
Southern State University.
It was the nation’s deadliest tornado since a June 1953
twister in Flint, Mich., and
authorities were prepared to
find more bodies in the rubble throughout Joplin, a gritty, blue-collar town of 50,000
people about 160 miles south
of Kansas City.
Despite the grim outlook,
Gov. Jay Nixon said he was
“optimistic that there are still
the freestyle” and dance without rules.
Viewers can vote for their
favorites after Monday’s show.
A new “Dancing” champ will
be crowned Tuesday night.

lives out there to be saved.”
While many residents had 10
to 17 minutes of warning, rain
and hail may have drowned out
the sirens.
Larry Bruffy said he heard
the first warning but looked
out from his garage and saw
nothing. “Five minutes later,
the second warning went off,”
he said. “By the time we tried to
get under the house, it already
went over us.”
As rescuers toiled in the
debris, a strong thunderstorm
lashed the crippled city. Rescue
crews had to move gingerly
around downed power lines
and jagged chunks of debris
as they hunted for victims and
hoped for survivors. Fires, gas
fumes and unstable buildings
posed constant threats.
Teams of searchers fanned
out in waves across several
square miles. Many of the
groups included specially
trained dogs. The teams went
door to door, making quick
checks of property that in
many places had been stripped
to its foundations or had its
walls collapse.
National Weather Service
Director Jack Hayes said the
storm was given a preliminary
label as an EF4 — the secondhighest rating given to twisters.
The rating is assigned to storms
based on the damage they
cause. Hayes said the storm
had winds of 190 to 198 mph.
At times, it was three-quarters
of a mile wide.
Some of the most startling damage was at St. John’s
Regional Medical Center,
where staff had only moments
to hustle their patients into
the hallway. Five patients died
there, although it was not clear
if they were patients or staff
members.
The storm blew out hundreds of windows and caused
damage so extensive that doctors had to abandon the hospital after the twister had passed.
A crumpled helicopter lay on
its side in the parking lot near
a single twisted mass of metal
that used to be cars.
Dr. Jim Roscoe, said some
members of his emergency
room staff showed up after the
tornado with injuries of their
own, but they worked through
the night anyway.
“I spent most of my life at that
hospital,” Roscoe said at a triage center at Joplin’s Memorial
Hall entertainment venue. “It’s
awful. I had two pregnant nurses who dove under gurneys ...
It’s a testimony to the human

Volcanic ash heads to Scotland
Pakistani troops retake naval base
Saleh refuses exit, battles erupt
A dense ash cloud from an Icelandic
volcano blew toward Scotland on
Monday, causing airlines to cancel
flights, forcing President Barack Obama
to shorten a visit to Ireland, and raising
fears of a repeat of last year’s huge travel
disruptions in Europe that stranded millions of passengers.
Britain’s Civil Aviation Authority said
it appears that ash from the Grimsvotn
volcano could reach Scottish airspace
early today and affect other parts of the
U.K. and Ireland later in the week.
British Airways suspended all its
flights for this morning between London
and Scotland, while Dutch carrier KLM
and Easyjet canceled flights to and from
Scotland and northern England.
Still, authorities say they don’t expect
the kind of massive grounding of flights
that followed last year’s eruption of the
Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland.
The cloud is currently not expected to
move over continental Europe.
Pakistani commandos recaptured a major
naval base from Taliban attackers Monday
after a bloody and humiliating 18-hour
standoff that raised questions about militant infiltration in the security services and
the safety of the volatile country’s nuclear
warheads.
The unusually brazen assault, which the
Taliban said was to avenge the killing of Osama
bin Laden, was a reminder that the Pakistanis
are catching blame from both sides in the
aftermath of the May 2 raid by U.S. commandos. It was the third purported revenge strike
in Pakistan since bin Laden’s death.
After initially estimating that 15 insurgents
were involved in the attack that began late
Sunday in the country’s commercial capital,
Karachi, officials said just six heavily armed,
black-clad assailants penetrated into the
heart of the Naval Station Mehran after cutting through wire in the eastern perimeter.
The militants destroyed two U.S.-supplied
surveillance aircraft and killed at least five
navy officers, two paramilitary rangers and
three firefighters.
Security forces and opposition tribal
fighters battled with automatic weapons,
mortars and tanks in the Yemeni capital
on Monday, blasting buildings and setting
government offices on fire in violence that
hiked fears of an armed confrontation after
the collapse of efforts to negotiate a peaceful exit for President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The street fighting, in which six people
were killed and nearly 40 wounded, was the
heaviest clash between the pro- and antiSaleh camps since thousands of Yemenis
began taking to the streets three months
ago in protests demanding the ouster of the
president after 32 years in power.
It erupted amid increased tensions after
Saleh refused at the last minute on Sunday
to sign a U.S.-backed agreement, mediated
by Yemen’s powerful Gulf Arab neighbors,
under which he would step down in 30
days. Saleh had promised to sign the deal,
but instead, his regime sent armed supporters into the street Sunday, protesting
at embassies, in an orchestrated campaign
to demand he stay in power.
BY MICHELLE FAUL
BENGHAZI, Libya — The
highest-ranking U.S. diplomat
in the Middle East was in the
de facto rebel capital in eastern Libya in a show of support
on Monday while in Europe,
France and Britain pledged to
deploy attack helicopters to
help the rebel cause.
A State Department statement called the visit by Jeffrey
Feltman, Assistant Secretary of
State for Near Eastern Affairs,
“another signal of the U.S.’s support” for the rebels’ National
Transitional Council, which it
called “a legitimate and credible interlocutor for the Libyan
people.”
Several countries, including
France and Italy, have recognized the NTC, while the United
States, Britain and others have
established a diplomatic presence in Benghazi.
Libya’s rebels have scrambled to organize their fighters
and create a political leadership since the outbreak in midFebruary of the uprising that
seeks to oust Gadhafi, in power
for more than four decades.
Rebels now control the
populated coastal strip in the
country’s east and the western port city of Misrata, which
Gadhafi’s forces have besieged
for months. They also control pockets in Libya’s western
Nafusa mountain range.
The rebels offensive has been
helped by NATO bombing,
which was ordered by the U.N.
Security Council to protect civilians after Gadhafi responded to
the public uprising against his
rule by unleashing his military
and his militias.
On Monday, the French
defense minister announced
that France and Britain would
deploy attack helicopters in
Libya as soon as possible. Gerard
Longuet said the helicopters
would be used to target military equipment, such as Libyan
tanker and ammunition trucks
in crowded urban areas, while
limiting civilian casualties.
Despite NATO bombing
runs, the rebels have not been
able to break Gadhafi’s grip on
the west of the country, including the capital Tripoli.
The U.S. diplomat, Feltman,
plans to meet with council
head Mustafa Abdul-Jalil and
others before his scheduled
departure on Tuesday.
The visit follows the opening of a European Union office
on Sunday by that body’s top
diplomat, Catherine Ashton,
who said she looked forward to
a better Libya “where Gadhafi
will not be in the picture.”

Ruben Font carries a scaffold piece to his home in Havana,
Cuba, on Monday. More than 1,000 independent shops selling
building materials have opened up around Cuba, official media
said Monday, as the government looks to the private sector to
fight corruption and the black market, eliminate expensive subsidies and help ease a severe housing crisis.

IndyCar driver Simona De Silvestro, who

Monday. De Silvestro went on to qualify
for the 500-mile race following her crash.
Woods out of top 10 for
first time in 14 years
LONDON — Tiger Woods has fallen to 12th
in the world rankings, dropping out of the top
10 for the first time in 14 years.
Woods is out with left knee and Achilles
injuries. He has not won a tournament since
the Australian Masters 18 months ago. He
dropped four places in the new rankings published Monday.
Lee Westwood of England remains at No.
1, with Charl Schwartzel of South Africa taking
Woods’ place in the top 10.
Second-ranked Luke Donald missed his
chance to overtake compatriot Westwood and
become No. 1 after losing in the final of the
World Match Play Championship to Ian Poulter
on Sunday.
The last time Woods was ranked outside
the top 10 was April 1997, before he won the
Masters for the first of his 14 majors.
Body of Japanese climber
brought down from Everest
KATMANDU, Nepal — The body of a
Japanese climber who died while climbing
Mount Everest has arrived in the Nepalese
capital.
Takashi Ozaki died on May 12 just several
hundred feet from the summit. He most likely
died from altitude sickness, a common cause
of death at altitudes where oxygen levels are
low and weather conditions extreme.
Pasang, a rescuer, said the 59-year-old’s
body was carried down from the point where
he died to a camp at 21,325 feet (6,500
meters) and then hooked to a helicopter. It
arrived Monday at a Katmandu hospital, where
family and friends have waited for days.
Ozaki was attempting to reach the 29,035foot (8,850-meter) summit. He is at least the
third climber to die this year while attempting
to climb the world’s highest peak.
MIAMI — All the Chicago Bulls
say they need to do now is something they’ve already managed 71 times this season, more than any other team in the league.
Win a game.
It’s that simple. No need for cluttered thinking
now. Even after everything that has gone wrong
in the last two games of the Eastern Conference
finals against the Miami Heat — who have handed the Bulls their first two-game losing streak
since February — Chicago knows it can reclaim
the upper hand in the series by winning Game 4
in Miami tonight.
Thing is, the Heat know that sort of thinking
as well, since they had the same thoughts after a
Game 1 blowout loss in Chicago.
“All we’ve done to this point is do exactly what
they did at home,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said
Monday as practice wound down. “They won the
first game at home and we have to find a way
in a possession game to come out ahead again
(tonight). There is not going to be one easy possession in this series.”
Chicago can attest to that.
Defense was clearly going to be the norm in
this series, with the Bulls and Heat ranking 1-2
in field-goal percentage defense. Chicago has
managed 160 points in Games 2 and 3, its lowest two-game total of the season, and keying on
reigning NBA MVP Derrick Rose has been the
biggest — and most obvious — key. Rose is 15 for
42 from the floor in Chicago’s last two losses.
The Heat want Rose to try to do it alone. After all,
not wanting to have one star option — and only one
star option — is why Dwyane Wade, LeBron James
and Chris Bosh came together in the first place.
“There’s a reason why we’re playing together,”
Wade said. “After so many years of that, you want
to do something else. That’s the reason we’re
playing together. But he has a good team. ... He’s
in a little different world than we were in.”
But to hear the Bulls tell it, defense let them
down more than offense.
“We have to bring more intensity to the game,”
Rose said Monday, after the Bulls met at their

KW U-16 Boys win title at Hialeah
SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN
HIALEAH — The Key West Soccer
Club’s Under-16 Boys team won its
division’s championship, the U-11
Boys made the finals and the Key
West Police Athletic League Girls U16 advanced to the semifinals at the
Inca Cola/Traffic Sports Copa Latina
5-versus-5 tournament, featuring more than 200 teams at Amelia
Earhart Park in Hialeah. This is an
annual appearance in the competition for the teams.
Anchored by freshman goalkeeper John Paul “JP” MacLaughlin, the
U-16 team won five games in the
single day, single elimination tournament to place first overall and
win the event.
In group play, the team won, 1-0,
6-0, and 6-2. After struggling in its
first match, the team put it together
and convincingly won the remaining matches. Sweeper Justin Mock

played well on defense in the back,
and strikers Torin Jacobsen and
Everett Wagner pressed the opponent’s goal, each tallying twice in the
tournament. Defensive midfielder
Gavin Mock played an aggressive,
physical tournament to contribute
to the championship.
Midfielders Alejandro Espinosa
and Franco Hernandez of Miami
Springs put together a passing clinic
with combinations that allowed the
team to score almost at will, each
scoring several times. Rounding
out the team was striker Caleb
Rodriquez, also of Miami Springs,
whose shooting prowess pounded
the opposing keepers, including
breaking the arm of the opposition’s
keeper in the second game of group
play.
In the semifinal match, the KW
team out-shot its Pinecrest opponent three to one and scored a 5-2
victory. In the final, the team battled an extremely physical Cooper
City side that was able to keep the
game even at the half, 0-0. KW
buckled down in the second half
and scored four times to complete
the victory and win the match, 4-1.
A short shift rotation allowed the
players to remain fresh in the final
and contributed to the championship win.
The U-11 Boys finished second
overall in its division with one win,
one tie, and one loss in group play,
advancing to the finals against
archrival Miami Springs Soccer
Club.

Djokovic extends 2011 winning streak to 38-0
BY CHRIS LEHOURITES
PARIS — Novak Djokovic extended his perfect season into the French
Open, beating Thiemo de Bakker,
6-2, 6-1, 6-3, Monday in the first
round.
The
second-seeded
Serb
improved his 2011 record to 380 — and stretched his winning
streak to 40 — on the second day of
the tournament at Roland Garros.
And he barely had to sweat doing
it, breaking his Dutch opponent
six times.
“I was serving really, really well
and being very aggressive, using
every opportunity to step into the
court,” Djokovic said. “I was quite
in control of the match.”
Roger Federer, meanwhile, joined
Djokovic in the second round by
beating Feliciano Lopez of Spain,
6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3), but sixth-seeded
Tomas Berdych was knocked out
by French journeyman Stephane
Robert in five sets.

year-old Kimiko DateKrumm, 6-0, 6-2, and

Francesca Schiavone beat

Djokovic walked out
onto center court as the
co-favorite after beating
Rafael Nadal in two
clay-court finals leading up to the French
Open. He could
only meet Nadal
in the final
at Roland
Garros, and
if he does
he will be
assured
of
taking over
the No. 1
ranking from
the Spaniard
regardless of
that result.

‘Easy decison’ to keep world
championships in Tokyo
Maradona: Argentina took
drugs before 1993 match
Beckham to play for
Man United again
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The president of the
world gymnastics governing body says
it was an “easy” decision to keep the
upcoming world championships in Tokyo
despite earlier concerns about high radiation levels following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
International Gymnastics Federation
President Bruno Grandi said Monday the
executive committee wanted to take time
after the earthquake and not make an
“emotional” decision. He said the decision Sunday to keep the championships
in Japan was made after consulting with
international and Japanese experts, as
well as doctors on the federation.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Diego
Maradona says Argentina players took
banned drugs before a qualifying match
for the 1994 World Cup.
He accuses FIFA vice president Julio
Grondona, the head of Argentina’s Football
Association, of being in on the scheme.
Maradona says there were no drug controls for the 1993 qualifier against Australia
in Buenos Aires. He claims the team doctor put a banned stimulant in their coffee.
Argentina won 1-0 and advanced to
the tournament in the United States,
where Maradona was later expelled for a
positive drug test and the team lost in the
quarterfinals of the World Cup.
MANCHESTER, England
— David Beckham is headed
back to play for Manchester
United — for one night only.
The former England captain will play at Old Trafford
in an exhibition Tuesday to
honor the career of former
teammate Gary Neville.
He says he is thrilled to be
pulling on the red shirt he
wore for 10 years until 2003.
Beckham says “I get goose
bumps every time I think
about stepping out at Old
Trafford again.”

NASCAR
Clemson SS Miller named
ACC player of year; first
Tiger since Khalil Greene Second Hall of Fame
“I’ve worked extremely hard on my health the last
several years for this purpose. I wanted to live for
other reasons, too, but that was a big reason I
wanted to be around for a while. I am truly honored to be among this class.”
Ned Jarrett
Nascar Hall of Fame inductee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson
shortstop Brad Miller remembers
watching former Tigers and Key
West High star Khalil Greene and
hoping one day he would make a
similar impact on the team. Miller
achieved that goal by earning the
Atlantic Coast Conference player
of the year award.
It’s the first time since Greene
won the honor in 2002 that a
Clemson player has been so honored. Miller was selected by the
ACC coaches after leading the
league with a .431 batting average.
“I don’t know that any could
match what Khalil did,” Miller said
Monday. “I just think it’s an honor
that I get to add to Clemson’s tradition.”
Miller also led the ACC with a
.536 on-base percentage. The junior
from Windermere, also had 11
doubles, three tri-
ples, 44 RBI and a team-leading
21 stolen bases.
He is Clemson’s
12th ACC player
of the year.
Miller
has
always
been
known for his
hitting, but It
was his defense
Greene
that often hurt
the Tigers. Miller
committed 55 errors his first two
years, but he has just 10 this season.
Miller said the improvement
came from spending the past two
summers with Team USA. Playing
on the national team exposed him
to coaches and
players
at the
top of their games who could work
on fixing Miller’s defensive lapses.
He said he knew he had to refocus
on the fundamentals if he wanted
to get better. And that made him
even more relaxed and confident
at the plate.
“If everything’s in rhythm on one
side, that makes you more confident about the other side of the
game,” he said.
Clemson has a 39-17 win-loss
record heading into the ACC tournament in Durham, N.C. The Tigers
open pool play against Georgia Tech
onWednesday. After that, it’s the NCAA
tournament and what Miller thinks is
a group motivated to return to the
College World Series.

downtown hotel and took a break from the practice
grind. “We have to be the first to the floor, first on
the rebounding side. Guards still have to get in and
rebound and help the bigs. And we have to play more
aggressive on both ends. Way more.”
In short, the Bulls will be desperate.
James says there’s only one way he and the Heat can
answer that.
“We’re playing desperate too,” James said. “Both
teams are playing hard. We’re just as desperate as they
are to win another game at home.”
If the Bulls are going to tie the series, they need to
find a way to contain Bosh. He already has games of 30
and 34 points in this series.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do still,” James said. “We’re
just seizing the moment. Honestly, we’ve been through
a lot this season, a lot of criticism. But we don’t care. We
just go out and just play our game. Coach Spo gives us
a game plan and we just try to go out there and execute
it to the best of our ability and get wins.”
Soccer
In game one, the KWSC boys tied
the South Kendall Club team, 2-2,
in a back and forth battle. After
an early defensive mixup and a
deflected shot, putting Key West
down, 2-1, Key West fought back
to tie the match with Finn Valle
tallying twice to secure the tie.
Strong defense anchored by goalkeeper Micheal MacLaughlin and
midfielder Matti Sirikov helped to
maintain the tie.
In the second game, the boys
faced the Orange Bowl squad and
they proved to be little opposition
for Key West. Goals from Valle (2),
Kyle Smith and Gabriel Gonzalez
completed the victory. Defender
Frank Moreno played well in the
matches with particularly aggressive work against the Orange Bowl
team. KW faced Miami Springs in its
final match of group play and again
in the finals. The group play match
ended 2-1 in favor of the MSS side.
In the finals, KW and MSS were
tied at the half, 1-1, on a goal by
Sirikov. The second half opened
with a goal for MSS to take the
lead. Key West fought back with
good defense and scored midway
through as Valle broke from the
MSS defense and netted his fifth
tournament goal. With only a minute to go, MSS strikers were able

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Ned Jarrett
won 50 races over his career, claimed
two NASCAR championships, and once
beat the field by 19 miles at Darlington
Raceway. Then he moved on to broadcasting races, a second career that was
as successful as his first.
The highlight, though, was not on
the track or in a broadcasting booth.
Instead, he considered Monday night,
when he was inducted into NASCAR’s
Hall of Fame, as his proudest moment.
“This is the best day
of my life,” said Jarrett,
known as “Gentleman
Ned,” for his clean racing
and his kind demeanor.
“I thought maybe some day I would
be able to get in there. I honestly didn’t
think it would be this early.”
Jarrett is part of the five-member
second class, which includes 105-race
winner David Pearson and 84-race winner Bobby Allison. Also in the class is
Petty Enterprises patriarch and threetime Cup champion Lee Petty, and Bud
Moore, a decorated World War II veteran and two-time Cup championship
team owner.
The first class, inducted last May,
featured seven-time Cup champions
Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt,
former driver and car owner Junior
Johnson, and NASCAR founder Bill
France Sr. and his son, former chairman Bill France Jr.
When plans were announced to build
NASCAR’s only Hall of Fame, Jarrett
made a commitment to improving his
health so he could live long enough to
be inducted.

to break in two on one and beat
the KW defense to win the match.
Striker Ross Usur made his first
tournament appearance for the
Key West team.
Coach Alex Yanovych said he
was pleased with his team’s efforts
in the short-sided format of the
tournament. “The game is much
faster and requires good touch and
ball control which we displayed
in a tournament,” Yanovych said.
The team showed a lot of character
and hard work in the competition,
according to Yanovych.
The girls U-16 Key West PAL
team finished 2-1-1 in the tournament, losing to eventual champion
Pinecrest in its semifinal match.
The team consisted of some
familiar faces to Key West fans
with Raquel and Lauren Schoneck,
Adriana Garcia, Selyne Casas, Libby
Isherwood and Angela Martin of the
Lady Conchs combining together
with Emily Morgan and newcomer
Olivia Kennedy to form the team.
“This was an excellent opportunity for the girls to get back on the
ball after taking time off and they
are already showing signs of some
very good chemistry on the field,”
said head coach Scott Paul.
The team moved through group
play with victories of 5-1 and 53 and a final 0-0 tie against rival
Sunblazer Soccer. The team seemed
to run out of steam in the semifinal,
losing, 4-1, to Pinecrest.
“For having taken three months
off and only three practices together before the tournament, we are
very pleased with our level of play,”
said Paul.
“Pressure is always
there,” said Djokovic,
who turned 24 on Sunday.
“I know there is a lot of
expectations because of
the streak I have, but, look,
I’m really happy the way
I’m handling things right
now on and off the court.”
Djokovic needs five
more wins to break John
McEnroe’s Open era record
of 42 for the best unbeaten
start, and a sixth victory
will make him the first man
to win the Australian and
French Opens back-to-back
since Jim Courier in 1992.
“Coming into a Grand
Slam with three titles on
clay courts and winning
against the best player
ever on this surface gives
me a lot of motivation, a
lot of confidence that I’m
trying to use on the court,”
Djokovic said.
Nadal, who is looking for
his sixth French Open title,
“I’ve worked extremely hard on my
health the last several years for this purpose,” said the 78-year-old Jarrett. “I
wanted to live for other reasons, too,
but that was a big reason I wanted to be
around for a while. I am truly honored to
be among this class.”
Monday night’s ceremony drew major
star power to help with the inductees:
Former
President
George H.W. Bush
narrated the video to
introduce Lee Petty,
while newscaster and
author Tom Brokaw
narrated Moore’s.
Alabama football

Lee Petty, who died
in 2000 and is the only deceased member of the class, will be inducted by his
grandchildren. Allison will be inducted
by his brother, Donnie.
The twist is for Pearson, who will be
introduced by Richard Petty, his longtime rival. The two still bicker about
their on-track competitions, and shared
a testy moment on stage last week at a
nominees dinner over one of their close
Daytona 500 finishes.
Pearson will be inducted by car owner

HOROSCOPES for today
Tuesday, May 24, 2011
Because there is likely to be
a large array of opportunities
presented to you in the next
year, you may not be able to take
advantage of all of them. This will
necessitate you making choices
and being very wise about doing
so.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -View things realistically instead
of trying to prove to everyone that
conditions are better than they
appear. Being objective will save
you a lot of trouble.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- If your curiosity gets totally out
of hand =, you will be construed
as nosy, not concerned. There
are certain things people want
to keep to themselves, so don’t
push it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Limit
your shopping to essential items
that you can’t do without. If this is
not a good time to be lavish and
/or go into debt, place a lid on
BRIDGE TIPS
your spending. You’ll suffer later
if you don’t.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Forgo wasting your time jousting
with windmills or chasing waterfalls. It behooves you to make a
list of meaningful goals and focus
on achieving them. Don’t let fun
and games throw you off-course.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be
careful with whom you match tall
tales. You could end up looking
and feeling rather foolish if you
attempt to go up against someone who is experienced at telling
whoppers and spinning yarns.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- It’s a mistake to depend on
backup people when it comes
to business matters, especially
if what they do or don’t do influences whether or not you finish
in the black.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- If you’re not careful, you
could inadvertently let someone
who does not have your best
interests at heart step in and call
the shots. They aren’t likely to be
in your favor.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- It’s never a good idea to
criticize someone who isn’t present to defend him or herself. You
can take bets that what you say
will be repeated in a far more disparaging way than you intended.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Unless you are extremely careful about handling your resources, it could have a far more
deleterious effect on your affairs
than you ever considered possible.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - No one will be inspired to follow
your lead unless you first set a
very good example. Attempting
to demand people do as you say
will only make them more defiant.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- It’s not the norm for you, yet
some negative thinking could
take precedence over your more
positive thoughts. Don’t let selfdoubts distort what’s at hand.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Be careful not to take a situation
that you’re managing for another
too lightly, especially if there is
money involved. Strive to live up
to the faith someone has placed
in you.
the black suits: two in clubs
and two in spades (the club
finesse is winning) or one in
clubs and three in spades (the
club finesse is losing but the
spade finesse is winning).
Because there is only one
sensible play in clubs (the
finesse), you should attack
that suit first.
Win the first trick in your
hand and play a club to dummy’s jack. When it wins, do
not assume West has the king.
A strong East would duck this
trick. Return to your hand in
a red suit and repeat the club
finesse. Here, it wins, but if
it lost, you would need four
spade tricks. You would then
take the spade finesse once or
twice, hoping East had kingdoubleton or king-third.
When the club finesse
works, though, you need only
three spade tricks. The correct
play is to start with the ace.
Here, the king drops and you
are home. But if the king does
not put in an appearance, you
go twice to the dummy and
lead toward your queen-jack,
gaining whenever East has
the king or the suit is splitting
3-3.

DEAR ABBY: I was shocked and
angered by the letter from “West
Virginia Traveler” (April 16) on towel
usage and tipping hotel housekeepers.
His priorities and “knowledge” of hotel
staff are seriously skewed. This man is
taking his peevishness out on
hotel employees who can least
afford to take it.
The concierge is paid well
to deal with disgruntled guests
and make things right. The
bellman gets tipped to carry
a bag from the lobby to your
room. If a doorman calls a cab
for you, he gets tipped. If there
is a restaurant, the servers are
tipped.
The one person who is most
critical to making your stay comfortable
and pleasant is the maid/housekeeper.
She is the one who makes sure you
have a clean bathroom, fresh sheets
and plenty of toilet paper. She does
the grungiest job in the hotel, gets paid
very little, is rarely thanked in person
and is the last to be tipped. She needs
these tips more than anyone else.
I make a point of tipping every
single day of my stay, and I have
always received the best room service
imaginable. -- LUANN IN KEENE, N.H.
DEAR LUANN: Thank you for your
letter. Housekeepers everywhere will
be grateful for your support. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: I am a housekeeper
in a popular hotel chain. Our staff
leaves cards in the bathrooms asking
our guests to please conserve and hang
towels for reuse if possible. Just because
you can be wasteful, it doesn’t mean
you should. -- JENNIFER IN CANADA
DEAR ABBY: “Traveler” said
not a single housekeeper has been
“exceptional.” What about the simple
factthathousekeeperscleanuphismess
during his stay? They take out his trash,
refresh his towels and replace used
soaps and shampoos. Housekeepers

beds, wipe down the sink and bath/
showers.
I can say from personal experience
that many hotel guests wouldn’t leave
their homes in the condition they
leave their hotel rooms, and sadly,
they feel that it’s acceptable.
Housekeepers work hard to
provide a clean and comfortable
room prior to a guest’s arrival,
and strive to maintain that
comfort throughout the guest’s
stay. In addition, they will
fulfill any request within their
abilities. I’d say this alone is
pretty darn “exceptional.” -GUEST SERVICE REP IN UTAH
DEAR ABBY: Leaving a tip for
housekeeping in a hotel is a
matter of social responsibility/social
justice. A striking majority of hotel
maids are women -- many of color,
invariably in a lower income bracket
and, often, single mothers. They work
extraordinarily hard for less than
minimum wage in cities where the cost
of living is much higher than their
incomes. In other words, they are
not paid a living wage. Consider it a
“mitzvah” (a blessing) to leave a tip. It
can make a difference between a family
“getting by” and one that is drowning.
This is about doing the right thing. -AN M.D. IN MONTE SERENO, CALIF.
DEAR ABBY: Why would someone
make insulting remarks and then
say, “I’m only kidding”? My husband
constantly berates and insults me.
Why does he want to hurt me all the
time? Am I being too sensitive or is he
being cruel? -- FEELING INSECURE IN
MASSACHUSETTS
DEAR FEELING INSECURE:
You’re not being too sensitive; what
your husband is doing IS cruel. It’s also
cowardly. I don’t know why he wants to
hurt you. But the question you should
be asking is not why he wants to hurt
you, but rather, why you continue to
tolerate it.
