Robbery suspect gambled post-heist
WEATHER
Jeffrey Meyers allegedly had oxycodones,
a theft conviction — and kidney failure
his plan, except in one critical area.
He hit payday when it came to terrorizing the women minding the Keys
Federal Credit Union cash drawers on
a sun-splashed Tuesday afternoon.
“I HAVE A GUN AND A PIPE BOMB
— DON’T BE STUPID!! GIVE ME 50s
and 100s NO DYE
PACKS,” declared the
note the robber in
khaki shorts and white
sneakers silently handed the teller assigned
to the second window
Meyers
before 1:30 p.m.
His fingertips were
covered in flesh-colored Band-Aids,
taped lengthwise across each digit,
teller Ruth Pierre remembered, and
he brushed back the $10 bills she nervously handed him at first.
Pierre was still shaking when Key
West police interviewed her minutes after the robber threatened her
— with a “handgun” he didn’t have
and a “bomb” he had fashioned by
taping together a can of soup and a tin
of sardines, whose wrappers had been
removed, according to police reports.

Marathon wants more money than usual to repair boat moorings. The ports director said a December inspection raised concerns.

Boot Key Harbor’s worn-through moorings need repair
BY TIMOTHY O’HARA
AND MARC PHELPS
Citizen Staff
Marathon has asked Monroe County to increase its
share of a countywide boating fund fourfold this year to
help pay for improvements at
Boot Key Harbor.
The city wants $120,000 in
boater improvement funds,
instead of its annual average of $35,600, for mooring
field repair work at Boot Key
Harbor. A December inspection raised concerns about
some of the moorings, Ports
Director Richard Tanner said.
“They need to be replaced.
There’s some wear showing,”
he said, noting that some
moorings show “accelerated
wear” of up to 40 percent,
meaning they are almost halfway worn through. “We have
shut down 30 moorings due
to my concerns, and were
able to use hardware here to
replace 26 others.”
Constant use was the most
obvious reason suspected
for the wear. “The last three
seasons since the mooring
field was finished we had 100
percent occupancy,” Tanner
said.

ISLAMORADA
Village shuns Fight Night
with Founders Park venue
Shuttle has final
liftoff: ‘Light this fire’
CAPE CANAVERAL: With a
cry from its commander to
“light this fire one more time,”
the last shuttle thundered
into orbit Friday on a cargo
run that will close out three
decades of both triumph and
tragedy for NASA and usher
in a period of uncertainty for
America’s space program.

An opportunity to bring big
spenders to Islamorada was
thwarted recently by a village policy that allows only
nonprofits to hold events at
Founders Park, according to a
local tourism official.
Founders, a community
park, is no place for such
events as Fight Night in the
Keys, a professional boxing
card, Islamorada’s parks direc-
tor said. Besides, his department does not have the staff
to oversee such large-scale
events, he added.
Patti Stanley, chair of the
Monroe County Tourist Development Council’s (TDC) advisory committee for Islamorada, said she was surprised
to learn there was so much
red tape involved in trying
to bring visitors to the city’s

CRIME REPORT
‘Narcoman’ and driver
nabbed in drug sting
KEY WEST — “Narcoman”
and his alleged driver are in the
clink, facing felony drug-dealing charges.
The two repeat offenders
were
arrested Thursday
night, after a
tipster said a
Leland
drug
deal er
calling himself
“Narcoman” was selling powerful painkillers to local teens,
and had provided a lethal dose
to a local teenage girl, according to police spokeswoman
Alyson Crean.
Stephen “Narcoman” Dennard Leland, 28, of 1020 Emma
St. in Key West, was charged
with felony trafficking of a controlled substance, oxycodone,
and using “two-way communications” to commit a felony.
The alleged driver, Roscoe
Lee Burton, 36, of Florida City,
also was charged with drug
trafficking.
An undercover officer
arranged a drug sting with
Leland over the phone, then
met up with him on Upper
Duval Street, Crean said.
“Leland became nervous and
left the scene in a car driven by
Roscoe Lee Burton.”

Leland has a criminal history in Monroe

Burton has a long criminal history in South Florida,

“He has been arrested dozens of times and has convictions that include drug sales,
aggravated assault and kidnapping,” she said.
“He was out on bond, facing drug charges in Miami,
when he was picked up by Key

Leland told police he works

Wisteria Island lawyer to speak
Niles Channel Bridge is closed
Habitat needs volunteers
An attorney for the owners of Wisteria
Island will speak before the County
Commission on July 20 at the Harvey
Government Center, 1200 Truman Ave., Key
West.
Lawyer Tim Koenig will talk about which
land-use category should be applied to the
small, built-from-fill island off Key West. He’ll
speak about 9:45 a.m. during the “Sounding
Board” portion of the meeting, a time set
aside for residents or group representatives
to talk about various issues. The commission is prohibited from taking action on the
topics discussed during Sounding Board.
The county is looking at placing a landuse designation on the island and its owners, of the F.E.B. Corp., want one that would
allow them to build a hotel, bar/restaurant
and other buildings on the property.
The state has closed the Niles Channel
Historic Bridge until further notice due to
safety concerns
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection blamed deterioration
for the closure of the bridge, which is
at Mile Marker 26 between Ramrod and
Summerland keys. Anglers should use the
South Pine Channel Historic Bridge, north
at Mile Marker 28, or the Kemp Channel
Historic Bridge, south at Mile Marker 23.
Niles Channel Bridge is along the Florida

High school, elementary principals moved
CITIZEN STAFF
The Monroe County School
District promoted a high school
principal to a position in the
administration and moved an
elementary school principal
to a high school, according to
a press release issued Friday
afternoon.
Key West High School Principal Theresa Axford is now the
district’s executive director for
operations, and Stanley Switlik
Elementary Principal Dave
Murphy is now principal of
Coral Shores High School.
Axford has been with the district for 25 years as a teacher,

“One promoter, Dave Johnson, wanted to do a fight night
in May, a time when tourism is
off,” Stanley said. “He asked me
for a good venue in Islamorada
because they have first-rate
hotels, such as Cheeca Lodge.
“When we asked to use
Founders Park, we were told,
‘No.’ I think it’s time to think
about changing their policy,
because we need to bring
income into the village. They
would be paying a hefty sum to
use the park. I was surprised at
their reaction.”
A professional boxing event,
such as the one held at Mallory
Square, would bring people
from all over, Stanley said.
“FOX Sports Network would
have covered the fight just as
they do in Key West and there
would have been three-night
hotel package deals. Those
people drive here in RollsRoyces,” she said.
Parks Director Jon Sutter said
he is “duty-bound” to protect
the park, even from those who
are well-meaning.
“We have unanimous support from the Parks and Recreation Committee for our current special events program,”
Sutter said. “We have children’s

Murphy has been a teacher, coach, assistant principal

District. He was made principal of Stanley Switlik in 2010,
after being assistant principal
for seven years at Coral Shores
High School. Switlik maintained its A-grade status for the
10th consecutive year while
he was there, the district said.
Murphy previously taught science in Broward County for
nine years.
He has a bachelor’s degree

High School had 43 percent of
its graduating seniors scoring

exam during their four years of

In response to state expectations for increased rigor at
the high school level, Monroe
County had 48 percent more
students take the test this year,
an increase to 1,371 from 929,
or 442 more students.

Coral Shores saw a 16 percent

“The AP experience provides
our students with the most rigorous college-level curriculum
offered in our School District,”
Jara said in a prepared statement. “While I am proud of
their accomplishments, I am
equally pleased so many of

themselves to excel in the most

Nautical Flea Market.
“To allow private groups to
hold events here would be such
a major impact that our community would be outraged,”
he said. “They have the policy
right.”
The village allows as many as
eight large nonprofit fundraisers at the park each year.
“To turn Founders Park into
an event site is to destroy the
balance of the user groups in
our community. They don’t
seem to understand the ramifications of turning this over
to private promoters,” Sutter
said.
Sutter administers policy, but
does not make it. Councilman
Don Achenberg said those who
wish to expand the park’s usage
should make their case to the
council.
“We should have the people
who want the change come
before the council and tell us
why they want it and describe
the benefits that would accrue
from it,” he said. “Then it
would be up to the council to
see if they want to change the
policy.”

the council needs to “feel this
out.”
“There will be merchants
in favor of this, but there will
also be residents and people
who utilize the park who will be
against it,” he said. “Which side
is right? Both have a point.”
Ed Kinkelaar, a member
of the TDC Islamorada advisory committee, said having a
venue for larger events would
be advantageous to local businesses.
“However, I also understand
that the purpose for purchasing Founders Park was for a
community park and not necessarily for an event venue. The
citizens of Islamorada need to
determine its use,” Kinkelaar
said.

“The park policies are wellthought out to keep it family

Stanley said she would like
the Village Council to weigh in
on the matter of park usage.
First, however, she would like
to secure the support of her
colleagues on the TDC advisory
committee.
“This needs to be addressed,”
she said. “People can’t believe

Elementary schools
receive mixed results
ongratulations to principals, teachers, parents,
administrators and, of
course, students, up and down
the Florida Keys for the elementary and middle schools’
academic successes. At least,
we think they are successes.
In the Florida state ratings,
the Monroe County School
District received an “A” for
the sixth consecutive year as
nine out of 15 schools showed
improved performance.
That’s wonderful. We
applaud them all.
With a change in “interim”
superintendents, as well as
funding deficits, it has not been
an easy scholastic year. And,
in fact, the state’s criteria for
judging curriculum and standardized tests also saw the bar
raised.
Yet, the students prevailed
over all of it, doing particularly well in mathematics, said
Superintendent Jesus Jara, who
took over officially on July 1, but
still awaits appointment by Gov.
Rick Scott. Jara did, however,
point out that there’s room for
improvement in reading skills.
These grades came from
the Florida Department of
Education, which tallies and
tracks 2,547 elementary, middle
and combination K-8 schools.
The grades are worth money,
as schools that earned A’s, or
that jump a grade from the pre-
C
Editorial
vious year, are eligible to earn
an additional $70 per student
from state funding.
It wasn’t all roses, however.
Glynn Archer and Gerald
Adams elementary schools in
Key West didn’t fare as well.
Gerald Adams dropped from
an A to a B, while Glynn Archer
remained a C school.
In another area, the news
wasn’t good for anyone. The
county students failed to meet
a federal standard.
As a part of the No Child
Left Behind Act, a “subgroup,”
including English Language
Learners, or children whose
first language is not English, 79
percent must score at the proficient level. In Monroe County,
the grade was 31 percent. Far
from being good enough.
So, we hope and believe that
Jara and the teachers throughout Monroe County will learn
from the figures, pressing
onward and upward in educating our youth.
He says they and he will.
“I don’t accept the budget
as being an excuse,” Jara said.
“These are kids and we need
to press forward and do what
we need to do for continuous
improvements.”
We couldn’t agree more.

Respect the jury’s verdict
A
fter a three-year barrage
of speculation and opinion from the media and the
public, the only words that
count in the Casey Anthony
case were read in an Orlando
courtroom Tuesday: Not guilty.
The jury in the so-called trial
of the century found Anthony
not guilty of killing her 2-yearold daughter, Caylee. She was
found guilty on four counts of
giving false information to a
law enforcement officer.
... Many pundits, self-styled
legal analysts and casual
observers of the trial had concluded that Casey was guilty,
based in large part on her
behavior in the summer of
2008, when she lied to the
authorities about her daughter’s whereabouts and indulged
in a seemingly carefree partygirl lifestyle. The prosecution ...
strongly reinforced the impression that Casey did not act in
any way like a mother grieving
the loss of her child.
But the jurors weren’t asked
to render a moral judgment on
Anthony’s maternal behavior or
her lifestyle. They weren’t invited to speculate about motives
— or even to offer an opinion
about whether they thought
Anthony was guilty or innocent
of murder.
The jury’s solemn duty was
to decide whether the prosecution had proved the charges
against Casey Anthony beyond
a reasonable doubt. That high
standard of proof is the foundation of our criminal justice
system. ... And it requires jurors
to set aside emotion and carefully weigh the evidence presented by the prosecution and
the defense. ...
We can continue the debate
.... But regardless of what one
thinks of the jury’s verdicts,
they deserve respect as the ultimate measure of justice under
the rule of law. ...

Together, residents make a
huge contribution to local tax
revenues, utilities, businesses,
and many nonprofit and civic
organizations. We are fortunate that tourists and
residents are attracted here by similar
qualities and also
supply Key West with
a steady stream of the
“outside” income that
keeps the economy in
motion.
Our strength,
however, is also our
Achilles’ heel. So much of the
income from all these groups
can move to anywhere in
the world. Cities in Florida,
the U.S. and internationally
are investing to lure the very
people who are attracted to
Key West. We face real competition.
In short, people come to
live and visit in Key West
because they love it here. Our
economy depends on our
keeping that love alive. If a sizable number of tourists and
residents with mobile income
decide to go elsewhere, Key
West will likely again go bust.
The antidote: We have to take
care of our island home. The
committee concluded that
action is needed in six broad
categories: economy, environment, culture, infrastructure,
government and quality of life.
(See http://www.keywestcity.

This task will, of course,
require community resources
of all sorts, but sometimes just
very thoughtful decisions such
as how we balance a sustainable economy while maintaining the uniqueness that
draws people here. Key West
is both our commodity and
our home. But residents have
made it clear, for example,
that “overdevelopment,” or
too many people, or morphing into “Anywhere U.S.A.”
are unacceptable trade-offs
for simply a larger economy.
Anticipating what is just right
for residents, visitors and
the economy is only one of
the tricky but crucial jobs for
those who make decisions
about our future.
To add yet another dimension to our challenges, residents and visitors think that
the cost of living and visiting
in Key West, one of the highest cost cities in Florida, is too
pricey. Most of us weigh costs
against value of almost everything and the cost and value of
Key West, noted a prominent
economist, is no exception.
We can lower our prices or
increase the value of the Key
West experience. If trends are
our guide, we do not wish to
become a cheaper market.
Assuming we don’t want
increased taxes, it’s up to all of
us as a community to pitch in.
Key West, the committee
believes, is in a position to
take charge of its own destiny.
If we don’t do it, we have no
one to blame but ourselves.

presumes that the

cultural or psychological dysfunctions that sometimes lead them to behave in

these theories has produced
much in the way of effective

Eldar Shafir of Princeton
and Sendhil Mullainathan of
Harvard have recently, with
federal help, been exploring a
third theory, that scarcity produces its own cognitive traits.
A quick question: What is the
starting taxi fare in your city? If
you are like most upper-middleclass people, you don’t know.
If you are like many struggling
people, you do know. Poorer
people have to think hard about
a million things that affluent
people don’t. They have to make
complicated trade-offs when
buying a carton of milk: If I buy
milk, I can’t afford orange juice.
They have to decide which utility not to pay.
These questions impose
enormous cognitive demands.
The brain has limited capacities. If you increase demands
on one sort of question, it performs less well on other sorts of
questions.
Shafir and Mullainathan
gave batteries of tests to Indian
sugar farmers. After they sell
their harvest, they live in relative prosperity. During this season, the farmers do well on the
IQ and other tests. But before
the harvest, they live amid
scarcity and have to think hard
about a thousand daily decisions. During these seasons,
these same farmers do much
worse on the tests. They appear
to have lower IQs. They have
more trouble controlling their
attention. They are more shortsighted. Scarcity creates its own
psychology.
Princeton students don’t
usually face extreme financial
scarcity, but they do face time
scarcity. In one game, they
had to answer questions in a
series of timed rounds, but they
could borrow time from future
rounds. When they were scrambling amid time scarcity, they
were quick to borrow time, and
they were nearly oblivious to
the usurious interest rates the
game organizers were charging.
These brilliant Princeton kids
were rushing to the equivalent
of payday lenders, to their own
long-term detriment.
Shafir and Mullainathan
have a book coming out next
year, exploring how scarcity —
whether of time, money or calories (while dieting) — affects
your psychology. They are also
studying how poor people’s
self-perceptions shape behavior. Many people don’t sign up
for the welfare benefits because
they are intimidated by the
forms. Shafir and Mullainathan
asked some people at a
Trenton soup kitchen to relive
a moment when they felt competent and others to recount a
neutral experience.
Nearly half of the self-affirming group picked up an available benefits package afterward. Only 16 percent of the
neutral group did.
People are complicated.
We each have multiple selves,
which emerge or don’t depending on context. If we’re going to
address problems, we need to
understand the contexts and
how these tendencies emerge
or don’t emerge. We need to
design policies around that
knowledge. Cutting off financing for this sort of research now
is like cutting off navigation
financing just as Christopher

Phil Norfleet of Tennessee cheers Friday while watching the space
shuttle Atlantis launch from the Max Brewer Memorial Parkway in
Titusville. Norfleet drove 12 hours with friends to watch the last
shuttle liftoff.
Shuttle lifts off for last time: ‘Light this fire’
BY MARCIA DUNN
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL — With a cry
from its commander to “light this
fire one more time,” the last shuttle
thundered into orbit Friday on a
cargo run that will close out three
decades of both triumph and tragedy for NASA and usher in a period
of uncertainty for America’s space
program.
After some last-minute suspense
over the weather and a piece of
launch-pad equipment, Atlantis
and its four astronauts blasted off
practically on schedule at 11:29
a.m., pierced a shroud of clouds
and settled flawlessly into orbit in
front of a crowd estimated at close
to 1 million, the size of the throng
that watched Apollo 11 shoot the
moon in 1969.
It was the 135th shuttle flight
since the inaugural mission in
1981.
“Let’s light this fire one more
time, Mike, and witness this great
nation at its best,” Atlantis commander Christopher Ferguson told
launch director Mike Leinbach just
before liftoff.
Atlantis’ crew will dock with the
International Space Station on
Sunday, deliver a year’s worth of
critical supplies to the orbiting outpost, and bring the trash home. The
shuttle is scheduled to land back
on Earth on July 20 after 12 days in
orbit, though the flight is likely to
be extended to a 13th day.
After Atlantis’ return, it will be
lights out for the shuttle program.
Thousands of workers will be laid
off within days. The spaceship
will become a museum piece like
the two other surviving shuttles,
Discovery and Endeavour. And
NASA will leave the business of
building and flying rockets to private companies while it turns its
attention to sending humans to an
asteroid by about 2025 and Mars a
decade after that.
It will be at least three years
— possibly five or more — before
astronauts are launched again from
U.S. soil.
Leinbach said that as Atlantis
disappeared in the clouds, he and
a friend in the control center put
their arms around each other and
said: “We’ll never see that again.”
Inside the room, “it seemed like
we didn’t want to leave,” Leinbach
said. “It was like the end of a party,
and you just don’t want to go, you
just want to hang around a little bit
longer and relish our friends and
what we’ve accomplished. So it was
very special, lots of pats on the back
today.”
The space shuttle was conceived
even as the moon landings were
under way, deemed essential for
building a permanent space station. NASA brashly promised 50
flights a year — in other words, routine trips into space — and affordable service.
Shuttle crews built the International Space Station, repaired
several satellites in orbit and, in
a feat that captured the public’s
imagination, fixed the Hubble
Space Telescope’s blurry vision,
enabling it to see deeper into the
cosmos than ever before.
But the program suffered two
tragic accidents that killed 14 astronauts and destroyed two shuttles,
Challenger in 1986 and Columbia
in 2003. NASA never managed more

States weigh ‘Caylee’s Law’
Man gets 4 years in pot scheme
Tourist dies hiking Ariz. trail
Lawmakers across the nation are
proposing the so-called Caylee’s
laws that would make it a felony for
parents who do not promptly report
a missing child.
The measures come after Casey
Anthony was acquitted of murder in
the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Bills are being considered in a
dozen or so states, including
Florida. And as of Friday afternoon,
an online petition supporting such
a law had more than 700,000 signatures.
Some aren’t sure how much a new
law will help, because they say parents usually report their children
missing.
A man has been sentenced in a federal court in Ohio to four years in prison
and must pay a $10,000 fine for his role
in a scheme to fly thousands of pounds
of marijuana from California to Ohio in
suitcases.
Six people have either pleaded guilty or
indicated they’ll plead guilty since authorities broke up the $3 million operation
last year.
Thirty-three-year-old Christopher Cash
was sentenced Friday. Cash was from Los
Angeles at the time of his arrest and later
living in Louisville, Ky. He pleaded guilty
in February to conspiracy to distribute
and to possess with intent to distribute
more than 2,000 pounds of marijuana.
Awaiting a July 29 sentencing is 44-yearold Frank Edwards of Hacienda, Calif.
Arizona authorities say a Japanese
tourist has died after falling 50 to 100
feet from a ledge on a popular hiking
trail.
The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office
said deputies searched a trailhead at
Bell Rock near Sedona and found the
51-year-old woman’s body Thursday
afternoon.
She was identified Friday as Yumiko
Hayashi. She had been reported missing from a nearby resort a day earlier.
Authorities didn’t immediately provide
her hometown.
Sheriff’s officials said they contacted
the Japanese Consulate for assistance
in locating the woman’s family back in
Japan. Detectives were investigating but
authorities did not suspect foul play.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — New Jersey’s
plan to breathe new life into the struggling Atlantic City casino market may be
paying off.
Three companies say they’re interested
in building one of the two new, smaller
casinos in Atlantic City that state lawmakers authorized earlier this year.
A group including the Seminole
Indians of Florida, through their Hard
Rock franchise; Las Vegas-based Pinnacle
Entertainment, which scrapped plans to
build a $2 billion Boardwalk casino, and a
group of Atlantic City-area business people
told New Jersey casino regulators Friday
they want to participate in a pilot program
to jump-start the nation’s second-largest
gambling market.
New Jersey amended its law earlier this
year to provide for a casino with as few as
200 rooms, and one that would eventually
be 500 rooms. The idea was to lower the
entry bar to the struggling market and
spur new investment.
Friday was the date set by the New
Jersey Casino Control Commission for
expressions of interest in building one of
the new casinos.
“We’re happy that the governor and
state legislature’s plan to reinvent Atlantic
City is bearing fruit,” said Bob Griffin,
CEO of Trump Entertainment Resorts and
president of the Casino Association of
New Jersey. “This shows there’s still room
in this market.”
The applicants are AC Gateway LLC, the
group that includes Hard Rock; Pinnacle
Entertainment through a subsidiary called
ACE Gaming LLC; and a group of local
investors calling itself California Avenue
Ventures, based in Northfield, just outside
of Atlantic City.

LANCASTER, Calif. — The eccentric creator
of a Mojave Desert compound of whimsical buildings known as Phonehenge West was
jailed Friday for failing to obey an order to cut
electricity and keep guests out of the illegal
structures.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge
Daviann Mitchell put off Kim Fahey’s sentencing for code violations, but ordered him held
in lieu of $75,000 bail for disobeying a previous
order.
Mitchell said Fahey’s “blatant refusal” to
demolish the structures and disconnect electricity put his family, the community and firstresponders at risk because the buildings pose
a significant fire hazard. The judge had allowed
Fahey to remain free pending sentencing on
the condition that he follow the order.
“I did not want to put Mr. Fahey in custody.
I wanted to work with Mr. Fahey. I gave him
an opportunity,” Mitchell said. “I don’t think
he has taken the public risk to heart. He has
chosen to do nothing.”

HOUSTON — Gov. Rick
Perry rebuffed criticism Friday
from Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton and others for Texas’
execution of a Mexican man
whose lawyers said he was not
informed he could have sought
legal help from the Mexican

the murder of a San Antonio
teenager.
The Texas governor has the
authority in execution cases
to issue a one-time 30-day
reprieve, an authority Perry and
other governors in the nation’s
most active capital punishment
state rarely have invoked.
“If you commit the most heinous of crimes in Texas, you
can expect to face the ultimate
penalty under our laws,” Perry’s
spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger said a day after convicted
killer Humberto Leal was put to
death in Huntsville.
Adria Sauceda
was killed in
1994 in a gruesome attack in
which her head
was bashed with
a large piece
of asphalt and
Leal
she was raped,
strangled, bitten and left nude
on a dirt road with a piece of
wood stuck in her.
From the Texas death chamber Thursday evening, Leal,
38, took responsibility for the
slaying, asked for forgiveness
and wrapped up his comments by twice shouting:
“Viva Mexico!”
He was born in Monterrey,
Mexico, and moved with his
family to the U.S. when he was
about 1½ years old.
Mexico’s government, President Barack Obama’s administration and the State Department were among those
asking the Supreme Court to
stop the execution of the former
mechanic to allow Congress
time to consider legislation that
would require court reviews for
condemned foreign nationals
who weren’t offered the help of
their consulates.
The high court rejected the
request 5-4.
“The secretary herself is quite
disappointed in the outcome
in this case,” Clinton’s spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, said
Friday.
“You know that the U.S.
government sought a stay of
Leal’s execution in order to
give the Congress time to act
on the Consular Notification
Compliance Act, which would
have provided Leal the judicial
review required by international law.”

The latest charges accuse
Meyers of plunking down on
the credit union counter a
plastic grocery bag containing an “explosive,” and then
ducking into a nearby grocery
store restroom to shave off his
two-day stubble and change
his shorts.
All his alleged moves were
captured by surveillance cameras that ranged from the WinnDixie to the credit union, along
with eyewitnesses who could
positively identify Meyers as
the day’s traumatic interruption.
Within four hours, police
who knew him by name and
face from his former life as a
fellow officer had tracked him
down at Sweepstakes Internet,
a gambling parlor at 922-B
Kennedy Drive.
“Meyers signed the Miranda
waiver and admitted to going
into the bank, providing the
note, taking the bank’s money
and intending for the teller to
think that the cans were really
a bomb,” wrote Officer Joseph
Tripp, one of at least four police
officers who knew Meyers by
sight as he exited the building.
“He turned as if he were
going to walk or run north
along the building, so I called to
him by name,” Sgt. Jeffrey Scott
Williamson wrote in his report.
“He turned toward me and I
told him to come over to me.”
Yelling at Meyers to keep
his hands in the air while he
unholstered his service weapon, Williamson helped contain the man who once had
worn a badge as part of the
force “Protecting and Serving
Paradise,” as the paint jobs on
the police cruisers announce.
Police reportedly found five
$20 bills from the Internet cafe
that matched the prerecorded
serial numbers from the credit
union, along with an additional $586 that Meyers allegedly had spent there. Inside
Meyers’ wallet was $720 in 20s,
50s and hundreds, along with
four brand-name tablets of
the highly addictive synthetic
opiate similar to heroin, all
wrapped in plastic.
Police had brought a K-9 dog
to take down Meyers, whose
alleged bomb hoax brought out
the bomb squad and stymied
traffic that day along the busy
shopping centers on North
Roosevelt Boulevard.

in reality some unwrapped tin

defender are due in court July

the 226 moorings as needed,
but the inventory of parts is

The county also could give
the city the full amount, but
request a partial or full repayment to the county at the
beginning of the 2012 budget
year, Jones wrote.
Boater improvement funds,
which come from boater registration fees, can be used for
mooring fields, boat ramps,
channel markers and — most
commonly in the Florida Keys
— the removal of derelict
vessels. The fund is administered by the county and split
among the county and Keys
municipalities.
The fund is at $649,000
now. Marathon has been
awarded more than $106,000
since 2008, including more
than $52,000 in 2009. Those
funds have been used for harbor-related projects, including boat ramps and dockage.

South Sudan becomes world’s newest nation
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUBA, South Sudan — South
Sudan became the world’s
newest nation early Saturday,
officially breaking away from
Sudan after two civil wars over
five decades that cost the lives
of millions.
In the new country’s capital, Juba, streets pulsed with
excitement. Residents danced,
banged on jerry cans and
chanted the name of the
world’s newest president,
Salva Kiir. One man kneeled
and kissed the ground as a
group ran through the streets
singing “We will never, never,
never surrender.”
“Ah, I’m free,” said Daniel
Deng, a 27-year-old police
officer and former soldier who
broke out in a wide grin.
The Republic of South
Sudan earned independence
at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, breaking Africa’s largest country in
two. It marked the culmination
of a January independence
vote, which was guaranteed in
a 2005 peace deal that ended
the most recent north-south
war.
After the celebrations die
down, residents of South Sudan
face an uphill climb. While the
new country is oil-rich, it is

one of the poorest and leastdeveloped places on Earth.
Unresolved problems between
the south and its former foe
to the north could mean new
conflict along the new international border, advocates and
diplomats warn.
Saturday’s early morning
celebrations were joyous for
the freedom gained but tinged
with the memories of family
lost. At least 2 million people
were killed in Sudan’s last civil
war, fought from 1983-2005.
“I came here for this
moment,” said Chol Allen,
a 32-year-old minister who
escaped Sudan in 2003 and
eventually settled in Memphis,

two months ago for the midnight party, though he plans to
go back to the U.S., where he
has a 4-year-old daughter.
The details in supplemental police reports, a Monroe
County arrest affidavit and
The Citizen’s interviews with
those who knew him depict a
desperate man willing to risk
prison time for some crisp bills.
Meyers was suffering from kidney failure and carrying four
30-milligram oxycodone pills
in his wallet, police say.
Meyers, who hails from
Pennsylvania but has lived in
Monroe County for 20 years,
was a Key West cop from 1989
until the department fired him
in 1994 for double-dipping on
the public payroll, collecting
extra duty pay while working
a regular shift, police spokeswoman Alyson Crean said.
He stayed in Key West after
his Aug. 24, 1994, “voluntary
termination,” only to rack up
a theft conviction and a laterdismissed battery charge. His
criminal history in Monroe
County since 2002 includes a
conviction for stealing from the
same bosses who helped him
pay off his medical bills in late
2010.
“It was several thousand dollars,” Eaton Bikes co-owner
Chris Wild said of the benefit
the Old Town bike shop held
for its then-employee.
Meyers ruined his relations
there when his bosses watched
videotaped footage of him
pocketing $155 from the till
four months ago.
“He was a hard worker, definitely troubled by problems
beyond just his physical problems,” Wild said. “There is a
possibility he is terminally
ill. He had one kidney shut
down.”
Wild said when he heard
police had fingered Meyers as
the credit union bandit, he and
his staff were expecting him to
walk into the store. The police
did, too. They visited the bike
shop to report that Meyers was
wanted for robbery, then swung
by to announce his arrest, Wild
said.
“The courts made sure we got
paid,” Wild said of the Feb. 11
videotaped theft. “We had him
on tape and we pressed charges.” Meyers reportedly never
acknowledged to his bosses
that he took the money. “Until
the time he walked out,” Wild
said, “he never apologized.”

law on “hoax bombs,” and the
lack of a handgun still brings a
robbery charge, along with one
for theft of under $5,000 for taking $1,888, which included five
$20 bills the Federal Reserve
had marked as “bait money.”
The former cop allegedly
knew to avoid dye packs, the
exploding paint pods that have
spoiled many a bank robbery
by splashing the proverbial
“stolen” mark on ill-gotten U.S.
currency.
But Meyers — 5 feet, 11 inches, 170 pounds with a shaved
hairline and a left-shoulder
tattoo — could not avoid the
obvious surveillance cameras,
the police reports explain. The
Winn-Dixie footage shows a
man whom police identified as
Meyers strolling into the grocery store about three minutes
after the robbery.
Meyers ditched his days’
old beard inside the WinnDixie men’s room, police said.
Grocery store manager William
Roberts showed investigators
the razor and clothing left in
the garbage can, items that
police said were obviously left
behind Meyers.
The store’s videotape shows
Meyers leaving the bathroom
area, decked out in different
shorts and a bandanna. He
bought two drinks in the selfcheckout lane and then left
the store just about 10 minutes
after he had entered.
About the same time, Sgt.
Williamson was off-duty, working in his yard, when his police
radio blared out a report of a
robbery at Keys Federal Credit
Union.
He knew Meyers from the
force in the 1990s.
Within a few hours, Williamson helped take down Meyers
after remembering that he
had seen the ex-cop at the
Sweepstakes Internet gaming
parlor off Kennedy Drive, steps
away from a martial arts school
that caters to kids.
The cop’s gut instinct was
dead-on: Meyers had returned
to the same spot, allegedly with
the credit union’s cash.
Meyers didn’t flinch when
asked to give up so police could
shackle him with the kind of
handcuffs he once was entrusted to snap on suspects.
There was no struggle once
Meyers was surrounded, police
said.
“He walked a few feet toward
us and then he again hesitated
and finally sat down on the
sidewalk,” noted Williamson.

Marathon’s Landry honored with U-16 club team
BY J.W. COOKE
Citizen Staff Writer
MARATHON — Despite suffering a knee injury that sidelined
her for a majority of Marathon
High’s soccer season, rising junior
Katie Landry did not let the injury
slow her down. Instead she put
in the extra work needed during
her recovery and, as part of her
Plantation Eagles (U-16) club team,
she was named to the TopDrawer.
com’s Florida Region Team of the
Month.
“There’s a great level of commitment she gives to the sport,” said
Plantation coach
Billy
Ramos.
“She drives two
and a half hours
to come practice
with us, and the
fact she’s had to
come back from
Landry
an ACL injury is
impressive. She’s
been playing really well and we
really feel that Katie is a player
that’s going to go to the next level,
without a doubt.”
It was her performance during
June’s Houston Shootout where
she received the attention, not only
from her coaches, but also from
several universities.
“She played in front of tons of college coaches and the coaches have
responded,” said Ramos. “She’s just
somebody that’s going to end up
getting a scholarship somewhere.
She has a lot of schools already
interested in her.”
Ramos said that he thinks recovering from a knee injury that
requires surgery — like Landry suffered — depends on the level of
commitment from the player and
will to want to return. Ramos said
that he grew to know Landry more
through her injury and he saw a
girl that was unhappy about not
playing.
“Her approach about how she
wants to get back and how fast she
wants to get back, the girl has a lot
of drive in her,” said Ramos. “I give
her all the credit in the world. She’s
kind of limited (in the Keys), but
whatever she has she maximizes
it. I could see she was going to do
whatever was necessary to get back
and I think she’s playing at almost
a higher level than when she got
hurt.
“She’s done a great job and represented that part of town well.”

Ramirez leads Marlins
to 3rd straight victory
MIAMI — Hanley Ramirez continued his
recent torrid hitting with three hits and three RBI
and Javier Vazquez pitched seven solid innings
as the Florida Marlins defeated the Houston
Astros, 6-3, on Friday night.
Florida broke a 2-2 tie and took the lead for
good on Ramirez’s run-scoring single in the third
inning. He drove in Gaby Sanchez, who reached
on a two-out double.
Ramirez is hitting .448 with three home runs
and 11 RBI in July.
The Marlins increased the lead to 5-2 in the
fifth on Logan Morrison’s bases-loaded walk and
Mike Stanton’s sacrifice fly.
Vazquez (5-8) settled down after a rough first
inning and in one stretch, retired 16 of 18 hitters.
He allowed two runs and six hits, struck out four
and walked none.
The Marlins won a third consecutive game for
the first time since a three-game sweep of San
Francisco in May.
The loss was the Astros’ 12th in their last 14
games.
Astros rookie Jordan Lyles remained winless
after his seventh major league start. Lyles (0-4)
pitched six innings and allowed five runs, seven
hits, walked three and struck out three.
Stanton hit an RBI single off reliever Fernando
Rodriguez in the seventh and increased Florida’s
lead to 6-2.
VERO BEACH — Key West High’s Evan
DeRoche shot a 69 on the final day of the
57th Florida State Boys Junior Championships,
placing him in sixth place with a three-day
even-par 216 in the junior
division at Quail Valley Golf
Club and Bent Pine Golf
Club in Vero Beach.
“The course was amazing,” Deroche said Friday.
“We played two different
courses and they were in
perfect shape.”
DeRoche
Playing in the same group
as Sawyer Shaw, the No. 1
ranked golfer in the state, DeRoche opened the
day tied for 11th place, but his 69 on Friday was
the third lowest score for the day helping him
jump five spots. He finished tied with Shaw
in the tournament, 15 strokes behind winner
Sam Horsfield, of Davenport, who continued
his solid play in the final round with a twounder 70 to win overall by five shots.
“He probably made me play better,” DeRoche
said of Shaw, who also shot a 69 on Friday.
“Playing with the No. 1 player will often make
you play better.”
Up next for DeRoche, in two weeks, is the
Optimist World Challenge, where he will pair
up with Harrison Winger to represent the U.S.
“I’m very pleased with how I played here,” said
DeRoche. “It’s a good warm up for the challenge.”
NBA: LOCKOUT
Wade says he’d consider playing overseas
BY ANDREW SELIGMAN
NEW LENOX, Ill. — Dwyane Wade
could see himself and other NBA
stars eyeing an overseas contract if
the lockout drags on, just like New
Jersey’s Deron Williams.
Williams was discussing a deal
with Turkish team Besiktas, and
Wade would consider playing in
Europe at some point if the NBA
situation is not settled.
“We’ve known that the lockout
was a possibility for the last couple of years,” he said. “It’s not just
something that came overnight.
(Williams) didn’t wake up and
say, ‘All right, go play in Turkey.’
Obviously, this is something that he
felt that if a lockout was to last a long
time, ‘I would consider playing.’ It’s
because of the game. He wants to
play the game, wants to play it at a
high level, and if we can’t play in the
NBA, he’s going to take that opportunity to try to play somewhere else.
Hopefully, we don’t get to that point,
KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIEDS ◆ keysnews.com/classifieds
“... If we can’t play in the NBA, (Deron
Williams is) going to take that opportunity
to try to play somewhere else. Hopefully, we
don’t get to that point, but if we do, I’m sure a
lot of guys will possibly explore it.”
Dwyane Wade
Miami Heat guard, on NBA lockout
but if we do, I’m sure a lot of guys
will possibly explore it.”
And Wade made it clear: He could
be in that group.
“If there’s an opportunity there,
I’d consider it,” he said.
The Miami Heat guard spoke
Friday at a suburban Chicago high
school where he and Bears star
Devin Hester were running basketball and football camps the past
two days.
Like Wade, Hester is locked out,
and with practices scheduled to
begin July 23, the clock is ticking.
The Bears would report to training
camp in Bourbonnais, Ill., a week
earlier than most because they’re
playing St. Louis in the Hall of Fame
game Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio.
“If we play Friday and the lockout ends Tuesday, it’s going to take
a day and half for us to get to the
dorm room and settle in,” Hester
said. “That’s an extra day and a half.
If we get at least a week and a half
to prepare, I think that (would be
enough time).”
The Hall of Fame game is actually
scheduled for a Sunday, but either
way, his point was clear — the Bears
need time to prepare.
For now, everything remains up
in the air.
An appeals court on Friday threw
out a judge’s order lifting the NFL
lockout, giving the owners a victory. Meanwhile, commissioner
Roger Goodell and players’ union
chief DeMaurice Smith were meeting for a second straight day at a
Manhattan law firm.
With the lockout wiping out organized team activities, Hester and
the offensive skill players have been
working out three times a week with
quarterback Jay Cutler acting as the
de-facto coach. He said that “helped
a lot” as the Bears try to build on last
year’s run to the NFC title game, but
the offense remains a huge question
mark entering the second season
with Mike Martz as coordinator.
There are issues on the line and
at wide receiver, and time with
the coaches certainly wouldn’t
hurt. Whether they’ll get that soon
remains to be seen.

CYCLING
TOUR DE FRANCE AT A GLANCE
A brief look at Friday’s seventh stage of the
Tour de France:
Stage: A 135-mile ride from Le Mans to
Chateauroux, which ended in a mass sprint. Tour
contender Bradley Wiggins was involved in a major
crash about 23 miles from the finish and pulled
out of the race with an injured left collarbone.
Winner: Ace sprinter Mark Cavendish of Britain
captured his 17th career stage win on the Tour
— and second of this Tour — beating Alessandro
Petacchi of Italy and German Andre Greipel on
the line.
Yellow Jersey: Thor Hushovd of Norway. Hushovd
kept the overall lead, 1 second ahead of Australian
cyclist Cadel Evans. Frank Schleck of Luxembourg
remained third, 4 seconds off the pace.
Where’s Contador? The three-time winner is 24th
overall, 1 minute, 42 seconds behind Hushovd.
Quote of the Day: “When I saw Chris, he was
lying in a ditch and was very shaken. He didn’t
know where he was. And still now, he keeps asking
where he is. My first prediction is that I fear that he
can’t go on.” — RadioShack team manager Johan
Bruyneel about Chris Horner, who fell in the same
crash as Wiggins.
Next stage: A 117-mile ride from Aigurande to
Super-Besse Sancy. While not yet the high mountains, the Super-Besse ski resort is expected to
offer a strong indicator of the form of the favorites.

Sea Tow Key Largo Launches Automatic
Radio Check Service for Keys boaters
To conduct an automated
radio check, turn a VHF radio
to channel 27, key the mic,
and ask for a radio check,
just as you would on channel
16. The system will respond
with an automated reply and
replay your original radio
transmission, letting you
know exactly how well your
radio is working.
Capt. Steve Powers, owner
of Sea Tow Key Largo/

channel 16 — the hailing and
distress channel — which
leads to reminders from the
Coast Guard that the checks
are improper use of the channel. By offering the automated radio check service, we
hope to help reduce unnecessary traffic on VHF 16 and
encourage safe boating in the
Upper Keys.”
The antenna hosting the
service is located at “The
Corner” at Key Largo Harbor
Marina.
Fish Bites:
Trollers are finding fish in 150 to 400 feet of water,
and in 750 feet and deeper. Right now, blind trolling
outside the reef may be very productive. Run a deep
bait to find wayward wahoo. If that doesn’t work, then
you might want to venture out to deeper water. Bigger
mahi are showing up in consistent numbers, running
in large schools under birds. The reef continues to give
up snappers: Mangrove, yellowtail and mutton with
the bigger fish in deeper water. Late afternoon and
evening snapper trips are becoming very productive as
the spawn picks up.

KEY LARGO — Sea Tow Key
Largo announced Friday a
first of its kind public service
for the safety of boaters in the
Upper Keys. Boaters are now
able to conduct 24/7, automated radio checks on VHF

The service is unique in that
it does not require the response
of other boaters or watchstanders in order to work, nor
does it require special equipment. The free service is available through Sea Tow.

WINSLOW TOWNSON/
BOSTON — David Ortiz homered in
Boston’s eight-run first inning, then got
into a bench-clearing brawl with Baltimore
reliever Kevin Gregg as the Red Sox routed
the Orioles, 10-3, on Friday night.
Ortiz and Gregg exchanged a flurry of
punches in the eighth, but neither connected before they were separated as both
benches and bullpens emptied for the
second time in the inning.
Moments before the fight, Ortiz started
toward the mound after taking a second straight pitch inside from Gregg. The
benches and bullpens emptied, but nothing developed and Ortiz stepped back
into the batter’s box.
Gregg got him to pop out, then shouted
something as the Boston slugger started
down the first-base line. Plate umpire Mike
Estabrook immediately ejected Gregg —
and Ortiz quickly changed course, charging toward the mound. Gregg and Ortiz
each threw a few haymakers, but the
heavyweight bout was swallowed up by
the mass of players rushing onto the field.
It took more than 15 minutes to restore
order and sort out the ejections. Gregg
and Ortiz were tossed, as well as Red
Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and
Baltimore reliever Jim Johnson.

rebounded a day after a stunning loss.
Jo-Jo Reyes (4-7) pitched 523⁄ shaky innings for

walkoff grand slam.

JETER’S PURSUIT DELAYED
NEW YORK — The game between the New York
Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays scheduled for Friday
night was postponed because of rain, delaying
Derek Jeter’s pursuit of 3,000 hits.
The game will be made up Sept. 22. The
rainout gives Jeter, with 2,998 career hits, just
two games to reach the mark at Yankee Stadium
before the All-Star break.
Jeter said earlier that he was pulling himself from
next week’s All-Star game to rest his injured calf.

Nolan Ryan says fan’s widow worried about son
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS
ARLINGTON, Texas — Go to
the ballpark and catch a foul
ball: It’s what every fan wants
to do.
And so it was for 6-year-old
Cooper Stone.
He and his dad even stopped
to buy a new glove on the way
to the Texas Rangers game
Thursday night. Even better,
their seats were in the left field
stands, shouting distance from
Cooper’s favorite player, reigning AL MVP Josh Hamilton.
Maybe, just maybe, he would
throw one their way. In the second inning, he did.
Hamilton grabbed a foul ball
that ricocheted into left field,
and tossed it into the stands. The
boy’s father, 6-foot-3 Shannon
Stone, caught it, tumbled over a
33-inch-tall railing and plunged
20 feet onto concrete below,
right in front of his son.
The 39-year-old firefighter died
a short time later at a hospital.
“That’s what they were
there for, was to catch a ball,”
Shannon Stone’s mother,
Suzann, said. “Cooper loves
baseball and he’s a big Josh
Hamilton fan. Had his jersey.”
Pitching great Nolan Ryan,
now the team’s president, said
the tragedy “hits us at our roots
of who we are.”
“We’re about making memories, family entertainment,” he
said. “I certainly understand
— and I’m no different than our
fan base — when I was younger
and I went to the ballpark my
hope was to get a foul ball. ...
That’s just part of the experience of being there.”
On Friday, players had the
option of getting grief counseling, and they wore black ribbons
on their uniforms. At Rangers
Ballpark, flags flew at half-staff
and a black tarpaulin covered
the gap where Stone fell.
A moment of silence was
observed before the Rangers
and Athletics played the second
game of their four-game series.
Hamilton, still grappling with
the aftermath of the wrenching
night, said Friday he could hear
the boy screaming for his dad
after Stone fell. The player said
he remembers the fall “like it
happened in slow motion.”
Jenny Stone, the victim’s 36year-old widow, worried how
her only son would recover from
the horror of not just watching
his father fall but riding in the
front of the ambulance on the
way to the hospital.
“She’s very concerned about
her son and the impact that this
is having on him,” said Ryan,
who spoke with her by phone
in Brownwood, about 150 miles
from Arlington.
GOLF: ROUNDUP
“Part of me is definitely glad we
stopped,” she said. “My legs were getting
a little heavy there.”
There is never anything easy about winning a U.S. Open, and hitting good golf shots
for 72 holes across the hilly Broadmoor,
elevation 6,700 feet, makes it that much
tougher, even under a normal schedule.
But this week’s schedule will be anything but normal.
Play was suspended Thursday with 131
players still on the course, or still waiting to hit their first shots. That set it up
for Lewis and dozens more to play — or
at least try to play — 36 on Friday. They
finished their first rounds, ate lunch and
quickly headed back out to the course.
Not a single player had finished her second round when the weather hit Friday,
meaning the weekend will be a long one
and a Monday finish is possible.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Around
the time Stacy Lewis was getting ready
for her second round of the day at the
Broadmoor, a brown bear shimmied up
a tree, wrapped himself around a big
branch and settled in for a snooze.
For the players and everyone else at the
U.S. Women’s Open, Friday was, indeed,
an energy sapper.
Lewis made it through 29 holes on
the mountain course before Colorado’s
typical summer thunderstorms hit. She
walked off at 4-under par, with a one-shot
lead over I.K. Kim and Ryann O’Toole.
Lewis, who won the Kraft Nabisco earlier this year, shot 3-under 68 in the first
round, then after a quick stop for lunch,
played the first 11 holes of the second
round in 1 under.

Report: Yao Ming
decides to retire
HOUSTON — Houston
Rockets center Yao Ming is
retiring, according to a report
by Yahoo! Sports.
The 7-foot-6 Chinese star,
plagued by lower-body injuries
in the second half of his career,
has informed the league office
that his playing career is over,
the website reported.
The Rockets declined to comment on the report because of
the lockout, and the NBA has
not received official retirement
paperwork from Yao.
Yao’s contract expired after
last season, and the Rockets said
they were interested in re-signing him if he came back healthy.
Yao said in April in China that
his professional future depended on his recovery from a stress
fracture in his left ankle.
John Huizinga, one of Yao’s
American agents, would not confirm the report during a phone
interview on Friday. He said Yao’s
recovery was “on track,” but Yao’s
future with the Rockets has been
uncertain for some time.
“He’s really enjoyed his time in
Houston,” Huizinga said. “If he

CHRIS CARLSON/The Associated Press
Stacy Lewis pumps her first after making
a birdie on the sixth hole Friday during the
weather-delayed first round of the Women’s
U.S. Open in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Reavie found the greens at TPC Deere Run to
his liking while making an eagle and a succession of birdie putts, going 8 under during one
nine-hole stretch. He went into the weekend at
14-under 128 in search of his first victory since
the 2008 Canadian Open.
Steve Stricker shot a 64 to finish at 12 under in
his bid for a third straight victory in the tournament.
Steve Marino (66) also was 12 under. Jhonattan
Vegas (64), Mark Wilson (67), Brendon de Jonge
(66) and Kyle Stanley (67) were four off the lead.
For all the signs that a deal
could be close, Hester has his
doubts.
“You’re hearing two sides to
the story,” he said. “You don’t
know the truth. You’ve got your
team advisers telling you that
the lockout, whatever they’re
saying, is negative. And then
you hear the TV saying that
they just met, it seems like
something’s getting done.
You’re head’s just spinning. You
don’t know what to do. I try not
to get involved. I’m going to get
ready so when the time comes
and I get the phone call, I’m
ready.”
As for the NBA, there’s little
optimism.
Both sides appear to be digging in for a long fight, a major
setback for a league that says
it’s bleeding money despite
all the excitement brought on
by last summer’s free-agent
craze and a thrilling run on
feels that he’s recovered enough to
play, and if the lockout ever ends,
and if the Rockets are interested in
him, then there’s certainly a good
chance he’ll stay in Houston.
“But there are a whole lot of
‘ifs’ in that statement.”
An eight-time All-Star selection, Yao averaged 19 points and
9.2 rebounds in his eight seasons,
but his impact on the league goes
far beyond the numbers.
Yao single-handedly expanded the NBA’s reach throughout
Asia, spiking merchandise sales
and TV ratings for games after
the Rockets made him the top
overall pick in the 2002 draft.
Marc Ganis, president of
Chicago-based consultancy
SportsCorp, said Yao’s worldwide impact on the league will
probably never be duplicated.
Ganis said Yao became an iconic symbol of China’s growth and
status. He carried the Olympic
torch through Tiananmen Square
and proudly carried his country’s
flag during the opening ceremonies in Beijing in 2008.
He also donated $2 million
and set up a foundation to
rebuild schools in the wake of
the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan.
the court that ended with the
Dallas Mavericks beating Wade
and the Heat for the championship.
This time last year, Wade was
staying in Miami and forming
a superstar trio with LeBron
James and Chris Bosh after
being courted by his hometown Bulls. The Heat struggled
at times during the season, but
turned it on in the playoffs,
beating Derrick Rose and topseeded Chicago in the Eastern
Conference finals before falling
to Dallas.
“We fell short of our goal,”
Wade said. “But that’s not going
to define our lives. We have
more basketball to play.”
Question is: When?
And if the lockout drags on,
at what point does Wade start
looking overseas?
“I don’t know,” he said. “Our
season just ended. I’ve got
awhile before I start thinking
about that. I’ll leave it up to
the powers that be, the people
behind the scenes, to worry
about that.”

wins crash-marred 7th stage
BY GREG KELLER
CHATEAUROUX, France — Finally, the
mountains.
After seven days of narrow,
sinewy roads and sometimes
fierce rain, Alberto Contador
and Andy Schleck await a
change of scenery. They
made it through the
crash-marred first week
of the Tour de France relatively unscathed. Although
the hills in today’s eighth stage
are far less daunting than later
climbs in the Pyrenees and Alps, they
will be a welcome sight.
“It will be a relief after several nervous
and dangerous stages,” Schleck said.
British sprinter Mark Cavendish won
Friday’s seventh stage. He did so in the
same town — Chateauroux — where he
won the first of his 17 Tour de France
stages in 2008. Norway’s Thor Hushovd
kept the yellow jersey.
Another British rider, Bradley Wiggins,
was knocked out of the race after breaking his left collarbone in a crash that took
down several riders.
Cadel Evans remains in second place,
one second behind Hushovd. Schleck is 12
seconds behind in seventh and Contador
is 1:42 off the lead in 24th place.
Bigger gaps may start to appear this evening after the first of two straight medium
mountain stages — although Contador and
Schleck might not attack each other just yet.
“Whether any of the favorites will be
dropped depends on whether the race
Mark
Cavendish
is hard from the gun,” Contador said.
“Hopefully, tomorrow when I wake up I’ll
be in perfect condition.”
Today’s ride up to the Super-Besse ski resort
gives Contador, Schleck and Evans a chance
to distance themselves from lesser climbers.
“The time gaps will be small but large
enough to shift the overall classification,”
Schleck said.
The stage ends with a a short but sharp
climb up to Super-Besse.
“It cannot be underestimated,” Schleck
said.
Contador was left with cuts and bruises
when he came off his saddle two days ago.
Wiggins, an outsider for this Tour who
finished fourth overall in 2009, was not so
lucky Friday.
Part of the same crash was RadioShack
veteran Chris Horner. He fractured his
nose and rode for almost 24 miles on

Bradley Wiggins, of Britain, is carried into an ambulance after crashing during Friday’s seventh stage of the Tour de France.
sheer grit. He was later diagnosed with a
concussion and a bruised calf, and his
team will decide this morning if he
can keep racing.
Cavendish, who rides for
HTC-Highroad, sprinted
out of the speeding pack
in the last few hundred yards, beating
Alessandro Petacchi
and Andre Greipel to
the finish.
Cavendish celebrated the same way
as in 2008, clasping his
head in both hands at
the finish line.
“It was a tribute to winning
here three years ago,” he said. “I
wanted to do the same gesture.”
When a dazed Horner crossed the line,
the American hardly knew what town he
was in — let alone the names of the former
French kings chateaux he rode past all day.
“Another day, another crash,” RadioShack
rider Yaroslav Popovych sang as he reached
the sanctuary of his team bus. Another
rider, Astana’s Roman Kreuziger, also went
to hospital for a scan on his left wrist.
“Sorry for those injured today,” Evans
said. “Especially ‘old mate’ Chris Horner.
Hope you’re healing well.”
Outside Sky’s team bus the mood was
downcast. Dave Brailsford, the team’s
manager, took in the news that his riders
had lost their leader.
“Really bad day for the team because I
was really looking forward to riding for him
in the mountains,” Sky teammate Geraint
Thomas said. “We were lucky until now.”
After Thursday’s treacherous rainfall,
described by Evans as the worst he had
seen on seven Tours, riders again set off
under a heavy shower Friday on the 135mile trip from Le Mans to Chateauroux.
The rain was brief, soon turning to sunshine, and it appeared the stage would
be a pleasant stroll through the French
countryside.
Riders casually picked up their lunch
bags just after rolling across the Loire
River at Chaumont-sur-Loire, traversing
the former hunting grounds of Francois I
and other French kings.
But there was no roast pheasant or wild
boar, only bland energy bars on offer as
riders passed the former French monarchy’s most elaborate chateaux.
Then two crashes came out of nowhere,
the second one taking down Wiggins and
Horner, and shattering the already battered pack again.
TERRY GILLIAM/The Associated Press
Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith talks with members of the
media during a news conference Friday in Columbus, Ohio.
Ohio State vacates
2010 wins, imposes
2 years of probation
BY RUSTY MILLER AND
ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio
State’s 2010 Big Ten championship, its 12-1 season, its victories
over rival Michigan and in the
Sugar Bowl — all gone. Coach
Jim Tressel is out and so is star
quarterback Terrelle Pryor.
Left behind: two years of selfimposed probation.
The question now is whether
it will be enough to save Ohio
State football from more severe
penalties in an upcoming trip
to see the NCAA committee on
infractions.
In response to NCAA violations committed by football
players who traded autographs
and memorabilia for cash and
tattoos — and by a coach who
covered it up — Ohio State issued
its response on Friday. Athletic
director Gene Smith hoped it
would appease the NCAA.
The measures taken by the
school included vacating all
the Buckeyes’ wins from last
season, a year in which Ohio
State captured a record-tying
sixth straight Big Ten title and
won an unprecedented seventh
straight game over Michigan.
“All I know is that this is significant,” Smith said. “A lot of
people may not view it that
way externally, but this is significant. When you think about
all the other athletes who participated in those games, those
records will be gone. ...
“Might the NCAA do more? I
just can’t speculate on that.”
Tressel found out in April
2010 that his players were taking improper benefits from
a local tattoo-parlor owner.
Despite contractual and NCAA
obligations to report it, he
didn’t tell anyone at the university or the NCAA for more than
nine months. And what was
just a five-game suspension
for five players suddenly blossomed into a major violation
that included a coach knowingly playing ineligible players
throughout the 2010 season.
“Coach Tressel acknowledged
that when he received the information, he knew the players
could not sell the memorabilia or
receive preferential treatment,”
Tressel said through his attorney
in response to the allegations. “...
He has explained his thinking at
the time, but offers no excuses
here for his decisions.”
In a reversal, Ohio State —
which earlier said it had asked
for Tressel’s resignation on May
30 — said Friday it had now
agreed to allow him to call it
a retirement. The school also
said he did not have to pay
a $250,000 fine levied against
him for his actions. On top of
that, Tressel will receive the last
month of his base pay ($54,000),
has agreed to cooperate when
Ohio State goes before the
NCAA infractions committee
on Aug. 12, and both he and
the university agreed that they
wouldn’t sue each other.
HOROSCOPES for today
Saturday, July 9, 2011
There is a good chance that,
in coming months, you could
end up being part of three different groups of friends for three
different purposes or reasons.
Each cluster will be involved in
something fun that you’ll want to
participate in.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Keep outsiders out of your
personal affairs, especially those
that concern your mate. You’d
only make matters worse if you
decide to talk things over with
your cronies.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If
they think they can get away
with it, a few malingerers might
look to palm off their duties and
responsibilities on you. They’d
like to make it look like your good
work is theirs.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Don’t make it one of those days
where, every time you take a
strong position, it’s one that’s
BRIDGE TIPS
opposite to the popular view. If
this is the case, keep your opinions to yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Regardless of how proud you
are of an accomplishment, keep
it to yourself. Someone who is
jealous of you could try to get
others to think of you as a mere
braggart.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- It might be smarter to let an
unflattering comment that someone says about you go unanswered. You could make matters
worse if you decide to make it an
issue that needs to be defended.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Trying to shore up a relationship with material things may
momentarily work on the surface,
but it will be without substance.
Strengthen bonds with loving
deeds of sincerity.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- If both you and a partner use phony means to try to
strengthen the arrangement you
have with each other, it could
end up being a case of the blind
leading the blind.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Only true humility is a virtue,

The toughest from
a tough week
By Phillip Alder
Richard M. DeVos, the
owner of the Orlando Magic
basketball team, said, “Few
things in the world are more
powerful than a positive push.
A smile. A word of optimism
and hope. A ‘you can do it’
when things are tough.”
This week’s deals have been
tough -- except for someone
used to working everything
out at trick one before playing from the dummy. Many
players would go down in
today’s deal, complain about
bad luck, and not even realize
that they had erred.
South is in four spades.
West leads the heart queen.
What is the right line of
play?
North responded with a
transfer bid. South jumped to
four spades to show a maximum with at least four-card
spade support.
There seem to be at most
three losers: two diamonds
and one club. But if South
takes the first trick, he should
go down with this layout.
The key is to allow West to
win trick one, trading a club
loser for a heart loser and
keeping East off play so that
he cannot lead the diamond
queen.
Suppose West continues
hearts. Declarer wins with
his ace, draws two rounds of
trumps, cashes the heart king
(discarding a club from the
board), takes dummy’s club
king and his club ace, ruffs
his last club on the board, and
leads a trump to West. What
can he do?
West is endplayed, forced
either to lead away from the
diamond ace or to concede
a ruff-and-sluff (declarer
trumps in the dummy and
discards a diamond from his
hand).
If you found the right play,
smile unashamedly.

DEAR ABBY: I’m only 12 and
I feel like my life is ending. I just
finished seventh grade, I don’t have
many friends and I feel like the ones I
do have don’t really care.
I do gymnastics and volleyball,
but my friends there don’t really
care, either. My family is no
help. My sisters are too busy
with their friends and boys to
care. My parents don’t know
anything about me. On top of
that, there’s a boy I like who
acts like I don’t exist. What
should I do? -- FRIENDLESS IN
MICHIGAN
DEAR FRIENDLESS: I find
it interesting that when people
write to me, it’s often the LAST thing
in their letters that’s the crux of the
problem. I’m sorry your love life isn’t
going well at the moment, but your life
isn’t “over.” In fact, it’s just beginning.
Everyone has days when they feel
alone in the crowd -- even kids who
are popular.
Your parents have known you all
your life. If they don’t yet know the
person you’re becoming, it may be
because you haven’t let them. They
have experienced much of what you’re
going through, and I’m sure they’ll be
glad to share their wisdom if they’re
given the chance.
As to the guy you like, he may
be shy or not yet ready for romance.
Give him some time to grow up and
appreciate you, and he may start to
like you, too.
DEAR ABBY: For the past 10 years
or so, at bridal and baby showers I
have attended, blank envelopes have
been handed to guests upon arrival
with instructions to self-address them.
This, apparently, saves the gift recipient
time having to address envelopes to
the gift-givers.
I usually set the envelope aside

and don’t fill it out, but last week the
guest of honor’s mother handed me
an envelope and pen and stood there
until I completed the task.
After spending time and money
shopping for and paying for a gift, I
feel insulted having to address
my own thank-you envelope!
Can you think of an
appropriate response when
I’m asked to participate in this
insulting new party ritual? Or
should I stay quiet and accept
that most people are ignorant
regarding good manners? -INSULTED IN OHIO
DEAR INSULTED: How about
this for a response: “After
spending my time shopping for a gift,
and my hard-earned money to pay
for it, it is insulting to be expected to
address my own thank-you envelope.
If she likes the gift, she can address the
envelope herself. If not, she can return
the gift to me.”
DEAR ABBY: Please tell parents
and teachers to warn children that
when they walk on the roads to walk
facing the traffic. We have come up
behind many people walking with
their backs to the traffic, some of
whom are listening to music or talking
on their cellphones and don’t even
know anyone is around. -- COLLETTE
IN NEWBURGH, MAINE
DEAR COLLETTE: I’m pleased to
print your warning. There is a name
for pedestrians who do as you have
described and aren’t aware of their
surroundings or impending danger.
It’s “casualty.”
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van
Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips,
