The government alleges that Major, 37, brought Adrian Glen Barnes, 37, Barnes David Dwayne Bacon, 53, and Donald Ray Sargent, 36, into the scheme and all four men used the Internet to file fake GCCF claim forms, according to the indictment. Specifically, p ro s e c u t o r s allege the four men used the names, social security numbers, dates Bacon of birth and addresses of people known to them to file false claims.

Assistant City Manager David Fernandez told the City Commission Wednesday night that copies of the 700-plus page draft report prepared by consultants will be available to them on CD-ROM sometime today. Fernandez appeared in lieu of City Manager Bob Vitas, who was out of town due to a family emergency, and told commissioners that he was setting up individual presentations for them, and that they will sit down as a group with engineers for further explanation of the options for Glynn Archer Elementary School that are outlined in the report.

He wanted to make sure the test rules will not only be enforced, but be complied with. “We are going to start out gentle but we are going to keep applying pressure until we get compliance,” FWC Major Jack Daugherty said Wednesday during a meeting in Tampa. “The Keys are a diverse place with a lot of diverse people .... We want to get voluntary compliance. ◆ CLASSIFIED ADS – 4-6 B The only way to get to compliance is to warn .... Educate, educate and educate.” Corbett called the Keys a “truly different part of the world.” The rules require proof of regular sewage pump-out and the tagging of vessels at risk of sinking or becoming derelict. Vessels would be labeled at MIKE HENTZ/The Citizen Boats moored around Wisteria Island in Key West Harbor would be See FWC, Page 8A subject to the proposed new mooring rules.

Party ends badly, host with gun goes to jail KEY WEST — A man accused of holding two people hostage and threatening to kill them Saturday over missing drugs and money was arrested, according to police incident reports. Thomas Joseph Sireci, 34, of the 1500 block of Washington Street, was charged with two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, felony possession of a weapon by a felon and felony possession of cocaine. Police were called to the Washington Street house at 9:20 a.m. regarding an armed person holding hostages. They arrived to find Sireci near a front door, reports say. As he was being patted down, an officer allegedly found a loaded .380 handgun, two loaded magazines, a knife and .3 grams of cocaine on him, reports say.

The woman injured her leg and was transported to Lower Keys Medical Center about 10:35 a.m. The crash incident report was not available Wednesday, said police spokeswoman Alyson Crean. Dispatch records indicated that the woman was underneath the train at one point, but was conscious and sitting on the sidewalk when emergency responders arrived on scene. Care Ambulance Manager David Erwin confirmed that one person was taken to the hospital, but he declined to comment further citing federal privacy laws. Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday appointed Mark Porter as superintendent of Monroe County schools, a formality required for Porter to fulfill the rest of Randy Acevedo’s second elected term. The School Board chose Porter as the county’s first hired superintendent, a power voters relinquished to the board the year after the Acevedo embezzlement scandal. Porter, a 32-year veteran of public schools in Minnesota who started Aug. 1, was technically “deputy superintendent” before the governor’s nod. Jesus Jara resigned as the appointed superintendent in July to take a job with Orange County schools.

County unveils budget in Key Largo Next hearing is Monday at 5 p.m. at the Marathon Government Center BY TIMOTHY O’HARA PROPOSED COUNTY BUDGET Citizen Staff The Monroe County Commission, on Wednesday night, held off adding new paid firefighters for both Sugarloaf Key and Layton. The commission agreed to keep the two paid full-time firefighters at the Sugarloaf Fire Station. The rest of the fire station is comprised of volunteer firefighters. The County Commission and Fire Chief Jim Callahan Callahan debated hiring seven new firefighters for Sugarloaf and four new firefighters for Layton. Commissioners were not sure if the new positions were necessary and affordable in the long-term, they said. This year’s millage rate: 4.1802 Proposed millage rate: 4.0980 Rollback millage rate: 4.1443 Percent tax decrease: 1.12 percent County Commissioner George Neugent proposed that the fire chief and county staff develop a “plan that is a lot less expensive than the one presented” and included no “full-time crews.” The commission held the first of three budget hearings on Wednesday in Key Largo, where commissioners set a property tax rate for the 2012-13 fiscal year that will cost property owners $409 per $100,000 of taxable value and generate nearly $77 million. Property owners paid $418 per $100,000 of taxable value this fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. The county initially proposed a tax rate for 2012-13 of $414, but staff reduced the budget in the past two months, County Administrator Roman Gastesi said. The tentative budget does not include raises for employees of the fire department, county administrative staff, County Clerk, Supervisor of Elections, Property Appraiser and Tax Collector’s offices. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has proposed 5 percent raises for deputies. To balance the proposed budget, the county plans to draw $5.8 million from its reserve funds. Gastesi said there will still be enough money in reserves to cover five months of operating expenses. County policy requires the county to keep enough money in reserves to cover expenses for four to six months. The County Commission will meet again to discuss the budget at 5 p.m. Monday at the Marathon Government Center. The final budget hearing will be Sept. 13 in Key West. tohara@keysnews.com OBITUARIES CAMPAIGN CORNER • State Senate Scott Hopes will be the guest speaker at the Southernmost Republican Club’s monthly meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Key West Yacht Club.

KEN DOMANSKI SHIRLEY FREEMAN TODD GERMAN OPINION PAUL A. CLARIN/PUBLISHER TOM TUELL/EDITOR RALPH MORROW/SPORTS EDITOR Mortgage relief is not accomplishing goal It has been six months since the big banks settled with state and federal officials over evidence of widespread foreclosure fraud, promising to provide $25 billion in mortgage relief in exchange for not being sued over past foreclosure abuses. At the time, it looked like a sweet deal for the banks. The fines were paltry compared with the damage done to homeowners and the economy. And much of the relief the banks were obliged to provide could be met by continuing more or less with business as usual. It still looks like a sweet deal. The Office of Mortgage Settlement Oversight, the monitor of the settlement, released a preliminary report last week showing that 138,000 homeowners had received some form of relief from March 1 through June 30. That is roughly the number that would have been expected under various aid programs in effect before the settlement. Worse, with some three million borrowers now in or near foreclosure, according to Moody’s Analytics, it is nowhere near the level of relief needed to fix the housing market. The type of relief provided — mostly short sales, in which a bank allows a homeowner to sell for less than is owed on the mortgage — had become increasingly common before the settlement. Short sales are better than foreclosures, in part because they prevent vacancies that depress house values. But they are not punishment for wrongdoing in any meaningful sense; rather, they allow banks to get higher prices for underwater properties than they could have gotten in foreclosure sales. Nor do they fulfill the settlement’s main purpose: to keep underwater borrowers in their homes by reducing the principal on their mortgage loans. According to the monitor’s report, $8.7 billion of debt has been written off in short sales versus only $750 million of principal reduction from loan Editorial modifications. The settlement was not, of course, intended as a cure for the housing bust. And future progress reports will no doubt show many more homeowners receiving big loan modifications. But, based on the banks’ performance so far, it also seems likely they will be able to structure the required relief in ways designed to tidy up their balance sheets, rather than to save as many homes as possible. Even the relief that is provided may turn out to be less than meets the eye. That’s because much of the debt forgiven in short sales and loan modifications will be counted as taxable income to the borrowers, creating huge tax bills they will not be able to pay. Mortgage debt that is forgiven is exempt from taxation under current law, but only if the debt was used to buy or improve the house. The law does not exempt debt forgiven on many home equity loans, even though the foreclosure settlement envisions billions of dollars in modifications to such loans. Several bills in Congress call for extending the law, which is set to expire at the end of the year. But what is obviously needed is a broader law shielding all forgiven mortgage debt from tax. Meanwhile, an investigation into the mortgage abuses that led to the financial crisis, promised by President Obama in January, has been slow to produce results. The settlement left open the possibility of civil and criminal suits on mortgage securitizations and other practices that inflated the bubble. The aim is to produce deeper accountability and larger fines with which to provide even more mortgage relief, but no suits have yet been filed. The economy will not recover and justice will not be done unless and until the mortgage mess is resolved. — The New York Times GOVERNMENT WEBSITES: Monroe County City of Key West City of Marathon Village of Islamorada City of Key Colony Beach http://www.monroecounty-fl.gov http://www.keywestcity.com http://www.ci.marathon.fl.us http://www.islamorada.fl.us http://www.keycolonybeach.net Letters to the editor Environmentalists should study the facts In response to Mr. Well’s Aug. 30 [guest column]: yes, there are some corals and other marine life in Key West Harbor and cruise ships don’t dump their sewage there, they dump it in the ocean nearby. Let’s get our facts straight: The channel widening is not a “minor” widening, it’s a mega project that will harm an already fragile marine environment. More facts: Most cruise ships are registered in Third World countries to enjoy weak environmental regulations, lax labor laws and low taxes. Unlike cities and industries, cruise ships aren’t required to have permits to dump raw sewage into oceans and aren’t required to report what they release, so neither the government nor the public knows how much pollution is released. Cruise ships can release untreated sewage, or black water, anywhere beyond three miles from the shore, and can release untreated gray water — non-sewage wastewater from galleys, dishwashers, baths, sinks, showers and laundries — anywhere they sail, except Alaska. A cruise ship with 3,000 passengers and crew every day generates about 30,000 gallons of human waste and 255,000 gallons of gray water, produces seven tons of garbage and solid waste, generates 15,000 gallons of toxic chemicals and 37,000 gallons of oily bilge water, generates air pollutants equivalent to 12,000 automobiles, and produces hundreds of thousands of gallons of ballast water. And that’s just one medium-sized ship that goes each day between Fort Lauderdale or Miami to Key West — not a large one or a lumbering, top heavy, “mega” one with 8,000 passengers. So where’s the tipping point? When Duval Street is clogged with one-day tourists and our island is surrounded with tacky water-toy facilities? When do the viable, positive tourists, the ones we really want, decide to go elsewhere? In closing, it is important to state that Mark Songer is not a “professional ecologist,” he is a private citizen who volunteers his time to benefit his community. He certainly is not a professional lobbyist representing an industry that only serves itself. Joel Biddle Reef Relief Key West Silt from cruise ships covers the sea floor After reading John Wells [guest column] and his statement that “There is no data and no study that has ever supported that premise,” the premise being that cruise ships in general and dredging will destroy the quality of the marine sanctuary. I would like to draw his attention to the picture in The Citizen of a cruise ship coming into Key West Harbor. It very clearly showed a giant silt plume as the ship’s props stirred the shallow bottom. As John should know, those two cruise ships he saw when he popped his head out of the water in Kingfish Shoal — where, by the way, the currents do not take the silty water — represent four trips in and out of our channel. Now multiply by two every ship that comes to port and it is twice the silt in our once-clear waters. Have you ever seen construction near the water in the Keys? It requires a floating curtain to keep the silt contained. Why? Because coral and bottom life need clear water, not cloudy silt water. So why are cruise ships allowed at all, when all other activities that produce silt would bring on huge fines? Because we sold out! Five percent of our economy off of cruise ships, and we sold out. Why don’t we dredge a 100-acre area at Kingfish Shoal so we can bring in 20 ships at a time? I have been in Key West since 1978, and I would be a fool to suggest that cruise ships alone killed the reef. But as a diver I have seen where the current takes the silt; it is not pretty. Deep reefs are covered with as much as an inch of silt, and not just out front but all the way to Smith Shoal. So if you think we need to do a study, let us save the money and charter a plane as a cruise ship comes in our shallow channel. After you see with your own eyes this seven-mile silt plume, tell me again how it does not impact our water. John is in denial for a paycheck, just like a climate scientist working for BP.

The comeback vegan — relying on the mythic schmoozer of politics past BY MAUREEN DOWD The New York Times CHARLOTTE, N.C. — remember the first time I realized that Barack Obama was not going to be another Bill Clinton. Everyone assumed that the Secretariat from Illinois was the natural heir to the Secretariat from Arkansas. But Barry was only out of the gate for a day in 2007 before it became apparent that, while the senator had a bouquet of talents and several virtues that Clinton would never possess, he was not quite Bill’s match as a political natural. On his first Iowa campaign trip, Barry was irritated. (Michelle had made him quit smoking). He was hungry. (He had eaten only trail mix.) He was indignant. (Why would press pests care what he looked like shirtless in Hawaii?) When the diffident debutante ended up in the deserted AmericInn’s lobby in Iowa Falls on an icy Saturday night with I reporters and a few six-packs, he did not seize the opportunity to seduce, as Bill would have. Clinton probably would have chatted with one reporter about Gabriel Garcia Marquez, another about economic philosophy and a third about prowling the Arkansas backwoods to find antique cameos for Hillary. Barry, for his part, looked around with dazed distaste and scurried up to his room. He seemed oddly conflicted about politics. That ambivalence started with the first political speech he gave at Occidental College, when he felt both elation at his ability to rouse with words and disdain at how easy it was. It became an exhausting pattern: Get people wildly excited and then withhold the excitement. Avoid sound bites and visceral connections because political games are beneath you. Instead of surfing the magic and using it to cow the opposition, Obama would retreat inside himself at crucial moments, climbing back to his contemplative mountaintop. He rationed his smile, his eloquence and his electricity, playing the dispassionate observer, delegating, dithering and rushing in at the last moment to try to save the day. A cold shower to Bill’s warm bath. While Clinton aides had to act like sheepdogs, herding the boss offstage as he tried to linger and schmooze issues with crowds, Obama needs to be alone and decompress even after meeting with a few people. Last week, Republicans struggled to answer the Dada question about Mitt Romney: “Can he be human?” This week, Democrats struggle to answer the Dada question about the once-thrilling Obama: “Can he be exciting?” (Nobody ever asked either question about Bill.) After running last time as the stake in the heart of the dysfunctional, draining and seemingly indestructible Clinton dynasty, Barry has had to humble himself and ask for the help of the man his camp painted as racist and intemperate in 2008. During that race, Bill literally carried an 81page list of perceived insults by Obama to Hillary. It is the great psychodrama of this convention: Will the shrewd and diabolical Bill buoy Barry or puncture him? Will he be generous or — like all those 2016 strivers at the Republican convention — self-obsessed? “We don’t need Clinton the man,” said one Obama honcho as they nervously await the draft of Bill’s speech. “We need Clinton the myth.” The two tall, left-handed, silver-tongued baby boomers both grew up not knowing their fathers. But while the disciplined Barry became selfreliant, with little patience for neediness or insincerity, the undisciplined Bill became self- indulgent, a maw of need and maestro of faux sincerity. Obama doesn’t like to share the stage with other politicians or even campaign for House Democrats. He thinks of himself as a singular force, a unique brand, and his narrative has always begun and ended with him. He thinks he did build it himself. But now — because of his own naivete, insularity and arrogance — he needs Clinton to rev up the disillusioned faithful and donors and lure independents and white working-class men. Bill, hailed by some as the first black president, must expand Barry’s narrative to reach back and link Obama’s roiling tenure of wars, debt and partisan-fencing to Clinton’s restful stretch of prosperity. You know you’re in trouble when you’re seen as less capable of taming the House Republicans than an expresident who was impeached by the House Republicans. And what does the Big Dog get? Resurrection, redemption, relevance, a reflected patina of Obama integrity and fidelity; the chance to outshine the upstart who outmaneuvered his wife and, by extension, him in 2008. And a possible ticket back to the Oval, this time as the first First Man, a vegan gnawing on Michelle’s vegetable garden. It’s not a bromance, like Romney and Paul Ryan. It’s a transaction. Obama needs his Democratic predecessor to reassure jittery voters that the future can look like the past, with a lower deficit, plenty of jobs and the two parties actually talking. In return, Bill will have the capital to try to ensure that the past can look like the future, with Hillary as Obama’s successor. What a wild twist. Instead of ushering in the post-Clinton era, as intended, Obama has ushered in the pre-Clinton era. Maureen Dowd is a syndicated columnist with The New York Times.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. DALLAS Ryan: Prayer in schools is OK Romney: US worse than in 2009 Glenn Beck attacks airline Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan says he supports prayer in public schools if approved by states. The Wisconsin congressman addressed the issue during a brief stop Wednesday inside a Republican volunteer center in Provo, Utah. A volunteer asked whether he supported giving states the right to allow “prayer or pledge” in schools. Ryan said he did. He says it’s a constitutional issue for states and a moral responsibility of parents. And he says Utah voters would have “a pretty good chance” of allowing prayer in schools. GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s campaign has not immediately clarified whether he agrees with Ryan’s position. For a second straight day, Radio talk show host Glenn Beck on Wednesday used his show to complain that a flight attendant on American Airlines treated him rudely. Beck claims it was punishment for his conservative views. Beck said the airline should fire the flight attendant, and he vowed to never fly on American again. “These big, stodgy airlines that think they can treat people like garbage — they can’t,” Beck said during a 14-minute segment on Wednesday’s show. He suggested that such poor service could explain why American had to seek bankruptcy protection, yet insisted that he wasn’t trying to hurt American and wasn’t urging fans to boycott the airline. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is pointing to the country’s $16 trillion debt and the millions of people who rely on food stamps as proof that Americans aren’t better off than they were four years ago. Stopping at a pizza shop Wednesday in West Lebanon, N.H., Romney said “the American people are not doing better.” He says President Barack Obama understands that but doesn’t want to talk about it. The tab on the nation’s debt hit $16 trillion on Tuesday. Romney also said 47 million people now use food stamps, up from 32 million when Obama took office in 2009. Romney has been sequestered at an adviser’s home in nearby Vermont preparing for fall debates against Obama.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors have charged Amanda Bynes with a hitand-run in connection with two traffic crashes in recent months. Los Angeles City attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan says the actress was charged Bynes Tuesday and is due for arraignment on Sept. 27. Mateljan says Bynes was charged for leaving the scene of two accidents, one on April 10 and another on Aug. 4, without providing proper information. The first incident occurred just days after Bynes was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after grazing a sheriff’s patrol car. She has pleaded not guilty in that case.

Dems seek Clinton luster; move Obama’s big speech The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — President Barack Obama swept into his convention city Wednesday, eager to accept his party’s nomination and make the case for re-election despite a sputtering economy. He hoped to claim a little luster from Bill Clinton’s prime-time address to the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday. In a last-minute shift, the president ditched plans to deliver his acceptance speech before a throng of 74,000 at an outdoor stadium on the convention’s final night, citing iffy weather for Thursday. With a chance of thunderstorms on the horizon, Obama will accept his party’s nomination indoors before about 15,000 people at the Time Warner Cable Arena. Convention CEO Steve Kerrigan said the speech was moved “to ensure the safety and security of our delegates and convention guests.” But PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS/The Associated Press President Barack Obama, right, greets supporters on the tarmac upon his arrival at North Carolina Air National Guard Base, on Wednesday, in Charlotte, N.C. GOP spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski cast it as Democrats downgrading the event “due to lack of enthusiasm.” “Problems filling the seats?” she asked in a statement. Rep. Patrick McHenry, a North Carolina Republican, dismissed the risks of speaking “during a light September rain” and speculated the decision “has to do more with attendance” than weather. Whatever the reason, the shift ensured there would be no repeat of the extraordinary scene from 2008, when Obama accepted the Democratic nomination in a packed-to-the-gills, 84,000-seat stadium in Denver, complete with ivory columns on the 50-yard line. Republicans mocked that as “The Temple of Obama.” The move also reduced the likelihood of anti-Obama hecklers, since most of those in the crowd will be official convention participants. Obama planned a national conference call Thursday to those who won’t get in to the smaller hall. Clinton’s convention speech Wednesday was to be a high point in a checkered relationship between two men who sparred, sometimes sharply, in the 2008 primaries, when the ex-president was supporting wife Hillary’s campaign for the nomination. Democrats hope that as the last president to preside over sustained economic growth, Clinton can help propel this president to re-election in less rosy times. His wife — seen as a potential presidential candidate again for 2016 — will be worlds away from the debate, in distance and substance. Obama’s secretary of state, she will be midway through an 11-day tour of the Asia-Pacific region and should be in East Timor by the Magician David Copperfield buys 1960 MLK recording BY LUCAS L. JOHNSON II The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Magician David Copperfield said Wednesday he purchased a newly discovered audiotape of a Martin Luther King Jr. interview and would donate it to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis to promote the civil rights icon’s message of nonviolence. Copperfield told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he purchased the 1960 tape this week from New York-based collector and broker Keya Morgan, who acquired it from a Chattanooga man. The clear audio recording includes King discussing the importance of the civil rights movement, his definition of nonviolence and his visit to Africa. An excerpt of the audio released last month on the Internet went viral, and evoked emotions in those who were close to King, such as U.S. Rep. John Lewis who said he was moved to tears after hearing King once again talk about nonviolence. Copperfield said King inspired people to dream, and the magician’s “art is about making people dream.” “The magic of Dr. King was in his message: peace and nonviolence,” Copperfield said. “I didn’t want this to be hoarded away. I wanted it to be shared with people to continue the message, which is more important today than it’s ever been.” He said he chose the National Civil Rights Museum because he thought it was the best fit for the recording, considering the museum is at the site where King was assassinated in 1968.

The rules also create “no-anchoring buffer zones” adjacent to the mooring fields in the cities of Key West and Marathon, where officials have expressed concern about vessels breaking free and striking boats inside managed mooring fields. The rules will be for non-managed mooring fields off Key West Harbor and Cow Key Channel off Stock Island. The rules, which were created by Monroe County’s Marine Resources Division, do not call for violators’ vessels to be removed, but the owners would be warned and eventually face fines if the issues were not addressed. After a first warning, a $50 fine would be levied. The fine would increase to $100 for a second Underwater Continued from Page 1A folding chairs, lawn ornaments, bicycles and other items left in environmentally sensitive waters ostensibly for funny underwater photos. “It might seem innocuous to put a lawn chair or garden gnome out there,” said FKNMS spokeswoman Karrie Carnes. “The majority of time most people innocently don’t realize that this harms the sea floor.” Sanctuary officials are getting the word out now as full moons during August and Oil Continued from Page 1A carries a maximum of 20 years in prison. The FBI does not comment on pretrial matters and Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Watts-Fitzgerald declined to comment Wednesday on the pending case. U.S. District Judge Jose E. Martinez is presiding over the case and on Wednesday set a trial date of Oct. 9 in Miami for Major and Sargent. Barnes requested a mental health competency test and scheduling conflicts with Bacon’s attorney set their trials back to a later date that had not been scheduled as of Wednesday. Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and state court records indicate Major has been arrested five times on felony fraud and larceny charges, including a 2004 case in which he was convicted of passing $6,000 in forged checks at Key West banks and a supermarket. Barnes has been arrested more than 15 times since 2002, mostly on drug possession and probation violation charges, according to jail records. He is set for trial in Key West before Monroe County Judge Wayne Miller on Oct. 23 on allegations he took his girlfriend and her two small children hostage and beat the woman, as well offense, and $250 for a third offense. All subsequent offenses would be $250. Owners would have 30 days between fines to address issues, said Rich Jones, Monroe County’s marine resources division director. “This is in no way intended to push boaters out,” Jones told the FWC board on Wednesday. “We want them to be responsible .... We don’t have a silver bullet. What you see are the best ideas that are tolerable to the public.” The rules still have to come before the Monroe County Commission before they are implemented. The County Commission has not set a date to vote on the rules. The commission has given tentative approval of the rules. If approved, the rules would be in place until 2014. They will then be reviewed by the FWC and sent to the state legislature, which could vote to make them permanent. tohara@keysnews.com September are typically the times that coral are spawning out on the reef, marking a particularly sensitive time. The advent of digital cameras, cell phone photography and social media have given rise to many more instances of trash being found in the sanctuary, which runs 2,900 square nautical miles on both sides of the Keys from Key Largo to the Dry Tortugas. Since 1997, the seafloor has been protected by sanctuary regulations that prohibit people from leaving non-approved material behind, Carnes said. Exceptions include anchoring as attacked her 5-year-old boy, about 8:30 p.m. Halloween night, according to a police incident report. Bacon and Sargent have both been arrested seven times since 2001, mostly drug-related charges, according to clerk of court records. Second wave of BP cash In early June, BP closed the GCCF, under which the company administered the claims process and determined who was entitled to damages related to the oil spill. The GCCF, which has been replaced by the Deepwater Horizon Claims Center — has issued $191 million in payments to individuals and businesses in Monroe County. The new claims process, however, is being governed by courtappointed officers in accordance with a settlement agreement BP entered into in April. Business and property owners and workers alike no longer need to prove that the BP spill caused them economic hardship. They don’t even need to show that their income went down. They only need to show that they fared less well in 2010 Meeting Continued from Page 1A sky approach, is where you save the side of the building and remove the interior, build a steel infrastructure supporting new floors,” Fernandez said. “We will have glossy versions to you on Monday and can have the draft to you tomorrow.” The city accepted a turnover of the school site from the Monroe County School Board in April. The School District gave the Glynn Archer property to the city in exchange for property the city owns on Stock Island. Making the former school into a new city hall has been a pet project of Mayor Craig Cates. Some other members of the commission have questioned whether the undertaking will cost too much. Commissioner Clayton Lopez was among the opponents, although he voted with the majority that authorized acceptance of the school property. “It should be an interesting report,” said Commissioner Teri Johnston, who has long held the opinion that renovating the historic building would be too costly, compared to a newly constructed building on Angela Street. Commissioners took no action on Glynn Archer Wednesday evening, as no questions were before them on the matter during their meeting. They did vote to accept a $30,000 settlement from New York Mellon Bank, wiping out $187,000 in zoning fines for a foreclosed property now owned by the bank, over objections from speakers who urged them not to underwrite the bank’s errors. “There was no special hardship, there was no hidden data, the bank should have known they made a mistake,” said the Rev. Randy Becker of the Unitarian Universalist Church. “And now they want the city of Key West to swallow their mistake. Don’t let them get away with it.” Commissioner Teri Johnston cast the lone vote against the settlement. Vacationing Commissioner Mark Rossi was not present. Commissioners also approved a change in zoning that will allow developers to build up to 8.6 units per acre on the former Navy housing complex site known as Peary Court, following intense questioning of developer James Landers about promises of keeping to the city’s requirement that at least 30 percent of new housing be deemed “affordable.” The measure passed by a 4-2 vote, with Jimmy Weekley and Johnston dissenting. jdesantis@keysnews.com in waters greater than 40 feet deep and lobster and stone crab traps. “We see all sorts of things out there,” said Sean Morton, sanctuary superintendent. “Golf balls, plastic pink flamingoes, candy, you name it. The problem is that as more and more of this proliferates it sends the message that it’s OK and not harmful and we’re asking seasoned divers to work with us.” Typically, first-time violators are given a warning, but serious violations could lead to fines between $100 to $300 for the violations sanctuary divers most often come across. Commercialtype violations, such as those in which large amounts of debris are dumped or the sea floor is drilled, dredged or otherwise damaged, could lead to penalties in the tens of thousands of dollars, Morton said. Large events like the Underwater Easter Egg hunt in Key Largo and the Underwater Music Festival at Looe Key are permitted events that take place with the blessing of federal officials who also dive and ensure that the areas affected are properly cleaned of debris afterward, Carnes said. Permit applications for research and education activities are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. On average, processing time for permits is 30 than they might have reasonably expected. Court administered settlement payments as per the new Deepwater Horizon Claims Center started going out in July and as of late August, $916,000 in new claims have been sent to the Keys, according to BP. Messages left at the Deepwater Horizon Claims Center seeking comment for this story were not returned Wednesday. There is no way of knowing exactly how much impact the Deepwater spill truly had on the Keys economy. A year after the spill, an analysis of data from the Monroe County Tourist Development Council, Key West International Airport and sales tax collections suggested the impact was minimal. Keyswide, lodging occupancy rates after the spill were higher in every month — except for August and December — when compared with the same month the year prior, according to the TDC’s lodging statistics. The average cost of a hotel room also was higher in every month of 2010 than it was for the same month in 2009. Key West International Airport records show more people arrived in May, June, July and August 2010 — during the height of the spill disaster — than during those months in 2009. Tourists spent about as much money after the spill as before, if not more, according to sales tax revenues. Most people have until at least April 2014 to file a claim, though the time frame could be shorter for those claiming losses related to the seafood business. Individuals can begin the claims process by going to “We want help from everyone in reminding those who may not know that the reef is a living organism, not a jungle gym.” Karrie Carnes FKNMS spokeswoman days, but may be longer for complicated requests or requests that include the collection of sensitive or prohibited organisms like coral species.

KEY WEST — At the start of the 2011 high school cross country season, the Key West fielded the largest ever boys’ team, but the girls’ squad began the year with only four runners and finished with five. This season, the Conchs have grown for the start of the 2012 campaign. The boys’ team, which qualified for the Class 2A state meet, now has 24 runners. The girls’ team has tripled in size. Although the Conchs lost three very talented boys and two top girls to graduation, they have reloaded with a group of promising young runners, according to Terence White who begins his sixth year as the Key West mentor. Juniors Brock Guzman and Julian Ramirez and sophomore Everett Wagner all have plenty of postseason experience. They figure to compete for the top three spots. White said seven or eight athletes will vie RON COOKE/The Citizen Members of the Key West High School cross country team take a warmup lap last week in preparation for their season opener Friday afternoon in the Gulliver Invitational. for the remaining three spots. “Looking at it on paper, we lost all our leaders on the boys’ and girls’ side, but the talent seems to be there. The real challenge will be to see what kind of leadership we’ll have and how that translates into performances in the races,” said White last week as he watched his team warm up at the Key West High School Back Yard. “Brock ran pretty well in cross country, but really dedicated himself to a new level in track,” White continued. “He’s really continued that in cross country this year, so I expect him to run very well. He hasn’t set any goals (after) running a mid-18 minute 5K last year. I think he’s going to run well above that. I’d like to get him around 17:30 or so and see what happens from there.” Guzman knows he has a tough act to follow as a team leader and top runner, but said he is willing to take on the responsibility. “It’s going to be hard to work it back up to where we were,” Guzman See HARRIERS, page 3B Hurricane harriers look to have strong season Clemens-McNamee pretrial schedule not until August NEW YORK — Lawyers for Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee have agreed to a pretrial schedule through next summer in the lawsuit between the seven-time Cy Young Award winner and his former personal trainer and say they are likely to have a dispute about exchanging certain documents, such as FBI reports. Under the joint report and discovery plan filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, depositions of factual witnesses are to be completed by April 1, with McNamee’s initial expert reports due by April 12, Clemens’ expert reports by May 17 and McNamee’s rebuttal expert reports by June 14.

The Hurricanes were originally scheduled to begin the campaign in the Green and Silver Invitation on Friday, but host Felix Varela High School canceled the invitational due to a lack of teams entered. Instead, the Hurricanes will still take part in a quad meet hosted by Varela at Larry and Penny Thompson Park in Miami. With strong senior leadership and a group of talented juniors, longtime coach Mary Jo Fry is thrilled about this season. “We only lost one runner to graduation, so we’ve got a good core group of juniors,” said Fry. “Landon Brooks, who is a senior, is our captain. He’s been running four years and training. He’s been running real consistently, so he looks good.” Steven Chadwick, who was a member of The Citizen’s All-County team in 2011, is always a strong performer. Sophomore Rex Zimmerman is expected to have a good season and seniors Connor McKenzie and J.D. Mulkeen figure to run in the top seven. “Connor is in shape from wrestling, so I think cross Chadwick country is going to pay off for him,” explained Fry. “Right in the middle pack is Pablo Gonzalez. You will always find him in the top five. This nice core group of guys is going to be competing for the top seven positions. I don’t think we’ve had that before, we haven’t had numbers like that. We’ve got 16, so that’s exciting.” The girls’ team is down this season with only six but dedicated harriers on the roster, thus far. “I don’t know why the girls’ numbers are down,” Fry said. “They’re improving but we’ll see how things go. Chloe Stokes and Kyia Herlth have all been running together. We have a new freshman, Azia Keever, that looks good. This is a real cooperative group and they enjoy training and running together. They are a team.” Coral Shores hosts three meets, including the Monroe County Championship on the winding course at John Pennekamp State Park. The Hurricanes will travel to Marathon to take part in a Middle Keys meet and plan to compete in the Key West Cross Country XCursion. “I put the team in larger invitational this year. For the boys, it will be good for them to see that level of competition,” said Fry. Having a large number of runners is a very pleasant dilemma for Fry. “They’re all excited about the season. They enjoy training together. It’s a real positive atmosphere,” she said. “It’s a team.” rcooke@keysnews.com PREP SWIMMING: AT WESTMINSTER CHRISTIAN PREP GOLF Conch boys get victory, girls gets PRs but lose BY RON COOKE Citizen Staff Writer By a very narrow margin, the Key West High School boys’ swim team won its second meet of the season, stroking to an 87-83 win over host Westminster Christian Wednesday afternoon in the Conchs’ lone road meet. The Lady Conchs squad did not win, but Coach Lori Bosco’s young girls’ team pulled out 14 personal records — and they’re getting better with every meet, said the coach. “It was a really close meet the whole way,” said Bosco by cell phone as the Conchs headed home from the Palmetto Bay meet. “We won on depth,” she said of the boys’ meet. “We had some really good individual performances. Kai Murphy pulled off a first place and a personal best in the 200 free in a time of 2:15.25. Derrick Allen, of course, pulled firsts in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle. He swam a 23.5 in the 50 and a personal best in the 100 with a 54:29. He had a fantastic meet.” Also, the boys’ team of Allen, Chris Bujak, Trevor Helms and Murphy captured first place in the 200-yard freestyle relay. “They pulled a lot of twos and threes, that’s what we needed to win the meet,” said Bosco. The girls’ squad lost 93-77, with more third place finishes for the young team. “We pulled a couple of first places,” Bosco said. “In the girls’ 100 fly, with one of our new swimmers, Kirstie Reed, she swam to first, and she was on the firstplace relay team with all the Reed sisters (Kerri and Kimberlee) and Savannah Harden to pull a first place in the 200 yard freestyle relay.” Senior captain Michelle Konik took first in the 100-yard breaststroke and swam to a personal best in the 200-yard individual medley taking second. “We took more thirds with the girls’ team,” explained the coach. “With the boys, we pulled twos, threes and fours and outscored a first and a fifth. That’s where our depth paid off for us. They’re coming together as a team and working as team.” Key West hosts Wellington at 10 a.m., Saturday, at the FKCC Aquatics Center. The Conchs have a history with the Palm Beach County School. roncooke@keysnews.com KEYSNEWS.COM — AND SPORTS TOO DeRoche Conchs, Dolphins continue early season learning BY J.W. COOKE Citizen Staff Writer MARATHON — The early season lessons continued for the Marathon High and Key West High golf teams on Wednesday afternoon as the Dolphins hosted the Conchs and Ransom Everglades at Sombrero Golf Club with the Raiders edging out the trimeet victory. “We’re going through a bit of a transition as they get used to my expectations,” said first-year Key West coach John Moeller. “Like the behavior of the team and some restitutions for missing practice, but it’s going to build team unity.” Ransom shot a 172 as a team to claim the victory, while Key West was four shots back at a 176 with Marathon at 197. For Key West, which was playing without No. 2 Elliott Arazi, junior Evan DeRoche shot the low round with a 3over par 39. Trevor Pike, moving up into the No. 2 slot, shot a 43, while Scott Brown (46) and Manny Castillo (50) rounded out the scoring. Thomas Fricke was also on the course and shot a 62. Marathon, which is only fielding a team of four total players this season, could not keep up with the other two full-sided squads. Kyle Pierce led the Dolphins with a 47, while teammate Jake Logan shot a career low 48. Kevin McKeon shot a 50 and Ariel Rodriguez tallied a 53 on the nine-hole course. At 3 p.m., Friday, Marathon hosts Key West and Gulliver Prep at Sombrero. The next day, the Conchs and Raiders will continue with a match at 10 a.m. at the Key West Golf Club, as the teams look to work out the early season kinks. jwcooke@keysnews.com 2B THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 SPORTS: Scoreboard SPREADS GLANTZ-CULVER Major League Baseball National League FAVORITE LINE at Atlanta -180 at Miami -135 at Washington -250 American League New York -115 Texas -135 UNDERDOG Colorado Milwaukee Chicago LINE +170 +125 +220 at Baltimore at Kansas City +105 +125 NCAA Football Tonight FAVORITE OPEN TODAY O/U UNDERDOG at Cincinnati 212⁄ 4 (4812⁄ ) Pittsburgh Friday Utah 7 712⁄ (5212⁄ ) at Utah St. Saturday at Virginia 7 10 (4312⁄ ) Penn St. 1 1 at UMass Indiana 12 2⁄ 14 (49 2⁄ ) 1 1 Air Force at Michigan 21 2⁄ 21 2⁄ (62) 1 1 at Ohio 19 2⁄ 21 (58 2⁄ )New Mexico St. 1 Kent St. at Kentucky 7 7 (44 2⁄ ) at Ohio St. 17 18 (50) UCF 1 Idaho at B’g Green 12 16 2⁄ (50) 1 1 Ball St. at Clemson 25 2⁄ 27 (65 2⁄ ) 1 Rice at Kansas 9 10 (61 2⁄ ) 1 (57) Toledo at Wyoming 1 3 2⁄ 1 1012⁄ (5312⁄ )at Wake Forest North Carolina 6 2⁄ 1 (5412⁄ ) at Missouri Georgia 3 2 2⁄ 1 Miami at Kansas St. 7 7 (53 2⁄ ) Michigan St. 22 21 (48) at C.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE KEY WEST — As medical scientists move closer to catching the cure for cystic fibrosis, anglers in the Florida Keys are lending their efforts by catching and releasing fish in Redbone tournaments to fund the gene research which will soon change thousands of CF patients’ lives. “We had no idea 25 years ago when we started these tournaments just how many remarkable strides would be made increasing the life expectancy of young CF sufferers,” said Capt. Gary Ellis, “especially now with the most promising ones through gene research.” Ellis and his wife Susan are preparing for the 23rd annual Robert James Sales S.L.A.M. Celebrity Tournament in Key West Friday through Sunday. It kicks off the annual Keys trilogy made up of the 22nd Baybone in Key Largo, Oct. 5-7, and the 25th annual Redbone, Nov. 2-4 in Islamorada, which started the celebrated series and was the genesis of 26 other tournaments across America. S.L.A.M. (Southernmost Light Tackle Anglers Master) celebrities include Baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs, NASA astronaut Bruce Melnick, former Denver Bronco Mark Cooper and former jai alai star Joey Cornblit. They along with other celebrities, guides and anglers will be pursuing permit, bonefish and tarpon, a trio of elusive shallow water gamefish, earning points in fly, artificial and bait categories, with artwork awarded to the top anglers, teams and guides. The DoubleTree Grand Key Resort is the host hotel with registration, a reception and live and silent auctions on Friday. It’s AMERICAN CONFERENCE East Buffalo Miami New England N.Y. Jets South Houston Indianapolis Jacksonville Tennessee North Baltimore Cincinnati Cleveland Pittsburgh West CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Former Astronaut Bruce Melnick shows how it’s done with a tarpon. also the setting for the Sunday awards banquet at 7 p.m. Preceding the S.L.A.M. is Friday’s Superfly, a one-day, one-fly competition for the same trio of fish sponsored by The Angling Company in Key West. Superfly registration is 6 p.m., tonight, at the Hurricane Hole Restaurant & Marina. The Friday awards ceremony begins at 5 p.m. The Hurricane Hole is also the site for the 3-5 p.m. dockside parties after the S.L.A.M. fishing on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The S.L.A.M.’s entry fee is $3,500 for a two-angler team or $3,000 for an angler to fish with a celebrity and include two days’ charter fees with a professional guide. The entry fee for the Superfly is $350 per angler who also fishes the S.L.A.M. or $500 per angler if not. The Redbone began in 1988 by the Ellises as a grassroots effort to help victims like their daughter, Nicole, who have CF. With help from baseball legend Ted Williams and his celebrity friends to attract anglers, $16,000 was raised that first year. The Redbone series has since spawned nearly 30 fishing events across the U.S. and internationally raising more than $16 million for scientists and researchers at the CF Foundation. “Medical scientists are making amazing advancements with gene research,” said Gary Ellis. “Not only did it lead to isolating the CF gene, but it also paved the way for the discovery of the genes for sickle cell anemia, Huntington’s disease and many others. New CF drug research has helped improve lung function and add a little more time for patients. It’s remarkable how far they’ve come, but there’s still no cure and our tournaments continue in full force to help them.” With Robert James Sales, other sponsors in The Redbone Trilogy include Rich Products, Redbone Rods, DoubleTree Grand Key Resort, Hurricane Hole, Dove Creek Lodge, DragonFly Boatworks. Reef Safe Suncare, Image Graphics, The Lorelei, The Islander Resort, Snappers and Medical Resources Group.

COOKE Citizen Staff Writer KEY WEST — After only a few months removed from the Bone Island Pirates’ third season finale, and supposed final game for the organization, team founder and head coach Angel Torres said he is getting the itch again and, thanks to the help from his coaches and new sponsors, he is ready to bring back Key West’s adult amateur football team for a fourth season. That fourth season begins from 7 to 9 p.m. tonight with a players meeting at the Lexington Hotel’s Gold Palm Room. “This is a hobby of mine and I love to do it,” said Torres. “I don’t know what I’d do if I had to stop football, because I’ve been doing it for so long.” The Pirates reached the Southeastern Football League (SEFL) conference finals last season, the furthest the team has ever advanced in the postseason, which Torres said has helped build to the team’s return. “We were two minutes into overtime, just one game short of the championship,” said Torres. “So I think that has left us fired up.” Torres said since that game in the SEFL Southern Conference Championship, he has seen the dedication that players have and their will to continue what they have begun to build. “There was a phone call here and a phone call there saying, ‘Coach are you going to come back this year? We want you to come back this Torres year,’” said Torres. “‘I got to think about it,’ that was my answer and at the same token, in the back of my head, I’m wanting to do it, but I knew they had some homework to do.” The homework was for the players and coaches to help bring on new sponsors and Torres said so far they have passed with flying colors. Torres said a majority of the work has been done by the Pirates’ center and offensive line coach Javier Agostini, wide receiver coach Gil Parker and new offensive coordinator and former Key West High junior varsity coach Jeremy Jackson. “They’ve been doing some great work and they don’t want it to end,” said Torres. “Between those three, they’re the ones that have basically been hitting the pavement and doing the work, and it’s good to see and it shows some appreciation to what I started three years ago and how it has progressed.” Part of the reason Torres wants some more coaches to be hands on is beyond the off -the-field duties. When Bone Island does return, the coaches are going to have to be able to take control on their own as Torres is getting married in February, at the start of the season, and the Pirates will be without their head man for roughly the first month of the schedule. “I want to see what they can do,” said Torres. “I started it and the last three years I ran it. Now, I want to take a step back and it will be nice if I can take a few steps back.” With training camp a month a way and the season starting in February, tonight’s meeting is for returning and new players and Torres said he hopes it will help set the tone for Pirates’ return. “We have about 80 percent of the guys coming back,” said Torres. “That’s good, because it shows they still want to play. The meeting is to see who is ready to come back out.” jwcooke@keysnews.com TENNIS: U.S. OPEN The Associated Press NEW YORK — Chants of “Let’s go, Andy!” rang out between points during the last service game of his career, and again before the start of what would wind up as the last return game. Always a fan favorite at the U.S. Open, and the 2003 champion, Andy Roddick headed into retirement with a 6-7 (1), 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-4 loss to Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows on Wednesday. It was an emotional farewell for Roddick, who sat in his changeover chair, covering his face with a white towel, after sailing a running forehand long on the last point. He choked up during an on-court speech at Arthur Ashe Stadium, telling the crowd, “Oh, wow. For the first time in my career, I’m not sure what to say.” “Since I was a kid, I’ve been coming to this tournament. I felt lucky just to sit where all of you are sitting today, to watch this game, to see the champions that have come and gone,” Roddick told the fans. “I’ve loved every minute of it.” The American surprisingly announced last Thursday, his 30th birthday, that the U.S. Open would be his final tournament. That impromptu news conference came a day before Roddick’s second-round match, and he wound up winning that one, and a third-rounder, too, riding a wave of support in the stands. But those two opponents were ranked 43rd and 59th, and the seventh-seeded del Potro, the 2009 U.S. Open champion, provided a far more daunting challenge — especially once he lifted his energy level and got his big, flat forehand cranked up. The match was suspended MIAMI — Rickie Weeks homered twice and drove in four runs to help Wily Peralta win his first major league start and lead the surging Milwaukee Brewers over the Miami Marlins, 8-5, on Wednesday night. Corey Hart also homered and drove in four runs for Milwaukee, which has won 13 of 16 to climb within 61⁄2 games of St. Louis for the second NL wild card spot. Peralta (1-0) pitched six innings, allowing three runs and five hits. The 23-year old righthander struck out three and walked four. Nathan Eovaldi (4-11) surrendered the first home run to Weeks to left field in the third inning. Eovaldi allowed two runs and struck out four in five innings. NATIONALS 9, CUBS 1 WASHINGTON — Bryce Harper hit two homers and Washington went deep six times for the second con- secutive game, sending Gio Gonzalez to his 18th victory in a rout of the Chicago Cubs. Adam LaRoche kept up his tear at the plate with three hits for the Nationals, who have won four straight and own the best record in the majors at 84-52. They maintained a 712⁄ -game lead over Atlanta in the NL East. AMERICAN LEAGUE YANKEES 6, RAYS 4 ST. PETERSBURG — New York went ahead with help from a key Tampa Bay error, Russell Martin homered and had three RBI, and the Yankees regained sole possession of firstplace in the AL East with a win over the Rays. Eliot Johnson’s errant throw to home plate that led to two runs in the seventh inning helped New York win for just the fifth time in 15 games. BLUE JAYS 6, ORIOLES 4 TORONTO — After losing a frustrating finale in Toronto, the Baltimore Orioles are heading home for their biggest series of the season. Rookie Adeiny Hechavarria drove in the go-ahead run with a bunt single, Rajai Davis homered and had three RBI and the Blue Jays beat the Orioles, who open a four-game series against New York tonight at Camden Yards. Harriers Continued from page 1B Roddick’s career ends with loss to del Potro BY HOWARD FENDRICH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DARRON CUMMINGS/The Associated Press Andy Roddick drops his racket during his losing match against Juan Martin Del Potro in Wednesday’s quarterfinals during the U.S. Open in New York. because of rain Tuesday night after Roddick took the first point of the opening-set tiebreaker, and they resumed more than 18 hours later in front of thousands of empty blue seats. It took Roddick only four minutes to close that set, fresh and strong as can be. said. “My personal goal is to get in the mid-16s which is about two minutes faster than last year. After the summer running and after track season, it seems pretty possible. If I can get my times down, it will help the team as a whole.” For the girls, the possibilities are endless. Returning is a junior Tristan Milliken who garnered Runner of the Year honors along with a pair of seniors. “The good news is we’ve got a lot of new girls out for the team — a lot of freshmen,” said a very happy White. “We still have Tristan, as well as seniors Liz and Erin Czerwinski. After a year off, Priscilla Welzien is back for her senior season. “Last year we could not score in meets, because we did not have enough girls. We only had four, all of sudden we’ve got all these freshmen. They can all run. I think we’re going to find some talent in there. Because of inexperience, I think we’re going to start off a little slow but as the year progresses, I Hancock Ramirez think we’re going to see big improvement on the girls’ side.” L i z Czerwinski, Czerwinski who helped the Lady Conchs qualify for the regional meet, said the team wants to take it to the next level. “Our goals are to improve team and get better individually,” said the senior harrier. “Last year my best time was a 22 flat. This year I’m hoping for a 21 and under.” Key West had to cancel its only home meet last year, the Cross Country XCursion. This year the meet is slated for Sept. 22 with some very good teams entered. “We have six teams including us right now, all good teams,” said White. “Some of Guzman Welzien Chaney Milliken the top teams in the state are coming down, so it’s going to be a test to see how well we do against high-powered teams. We’ve got the opportunity to run in front of their parents.” Both squads, although young, have a good chance of qualifying for the state meet. “If kids like Brock and Julian can become the leaders I hope they can, I’d like to surpass that,” said the coach. “The girls only missed it by two spots. I think if they can work hard they can make it very interesting this year.” rcooke@keysnews.com PREP FOOTBALL: BELEN JESUIT JV 36, KEY WEST JV 0 Neither rain nor lightning can stop Junior Conch gridders BY RON COOKE Citizen Staff Writer After a two-hour lightning delay Wednesday afternoon, the Key West High School Junior Varsity football team finally got to play in its first of two scheduled games on the season, facing the always powerful Belen Jesuit JV at the Miami campus. Unfortunately for the young Conchs, they lost to the Wolverines, 36-0, on the school’s new turf field. “We lost, but in my mind, it was a winning battle,” said the always upbeat Key West coach, J. P. Garcia. “We did not have the preparation time, which was not the kids’ fault. We couldn’t get a team together in time. But not one kid quit, not one kid wanted to come out. They all battled, all four quarters. I wish Key West people could have seen that. The score did not display the pride and class these kids displayed. The guys had the mentality, they didn’t care who they were. I had them fired up and they really believed they could win.” Garcia said the Conchs’ offense, led by quarterback Logan Wickes, had a touchdown called back and a couple fumbles and interceptions. “Logan is really young and we had to put together this complex offense in two weeks,” explained Garcia from his cell phone on the way back to the islands. “But they did a phenomenal job. ” The coach said Victor Carson-Emily had an outstanding game at the fullback position and Yandy Rocamora and Ray Ortiz were also instrumental. “Ray Ortiz is not a big guy, plays like he was 200 pounds and weighs only 140,” Garcia said. “Also, Peter Ortiz and Edward Gartenmayer were hardnosed. One guy I really want to mention is a big guy, Dylan Burke, who plays both offensive and defensive line and not once did he come out.” During the delay, Garcia said the referees and Belen coaches wanted to cancel the game due to the bad weather. The Key West coach said his kids came to play. “We told them we wanted to play. They ran the clock the whole time and the game was pretty quick, but the kids wanted to play. They did not back down,” closed Garcia.” rcooke@keysnews.com 4B THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIED HOROSCOPES for today THURSDAY, Sept. 6, 2012 New avenues are being opened in the year ahead that could make it possible for you to fulfill a secret ambition that you’ve long held.

By Phillip Alder unlikely, given East’s opening bid. However, it did not cost to cue-bid two clubs first to show positive values. Note West’s lead, his lowest from a low tripleton when he has not supported his partner’s suit. And also note South’s cost-nothing falsecard at trick one. It is good to sow the seeds of doubt into the opponents’ minds. East can see two winners: one spade and one club. And since it is clear that there are no red-suit tricks coming, East must hope South was having a little joke at trick one. So East continues with the club ace, winning the trick. But what does he do next? The only chance to defeat the contract is to take two trump tricks.

It is the bane of my professional existence. They cause so much stress for the couple that I’ve had brides break down and cry in my office and choose to elope rather than deal with the drama. Parents must realize that their children are loved by MANY people, and the best gift they can give them on their wedding day is to set aside differences and old grudges in order to support the couple as they begin their marriage. -- FRUSTRATED WEDDING PLANNER DEAR ABBY:My husband’s former wife has been a huge challenge for me, even showing up at our small wedding ceremony and slapping me in the face. The children were all there and I kept the evening going by hugging them and saying I was sorry their mom was so upset. Now, as I watch these grown kids and THEIR kids making their way through life, I am proud to have been part of showing them what a solid, loving family can be without alienation and selfishness. -- BARBARA IN ILLINOIS DEAR ABBY: I sympathize with “Disappearing,” having myself been ignored at “blended” family events, including weddings. I am also conveniently excluded from family photos. I deal with all of this by staying in the background during events. The gathering is not about me. My stepkids are simply trying to keep the drama caused by their mother to a minimum. They would never hear the end of it from her, and she has been known to go off in public. I know they appreciate my quiet approach because, when not in their mother’s presence, they treat me with kindness, love and humor. -- MARCIA IN VIRGINIA DEAR ABBY: First wives hold the upper hand in many instances. It’s something you never really get used to -- you just live with it. When your husband’s daughter matures and is a mom herself, things may change. They did for me. Take the high road and always do the right thing. That first wife is clearly traveling on a lower path. -SURVIVOR IN ALABAMA 620 AUTOS FOR SALE 2011 Dodge Challenger Coupe, auto, a/c, 22K mi SAVE, SAVE, SAVE 620 AUTOS FOR SALE ----- 2009 Chrysler 300 Fully Loaded, 15K miles SAVE, SAVE, SAVE 2007 Ford Focus SE Auto, a/c, 56K miles.

DEAR ABBY: “Disappearing Stepmother’s” June 9 letter brought back memories of my stepdaughter “Amy’s” wedding. Her mother also tried her best to prevent us from being involved. However, Amy included all four of her parents in the wedding. Dad and Stepdad walked her down the aisle together, and her mom and I lit the bride’s candle together (though I’m sure she gritted her teeth when she did it). The bride needs to develop a backbone and stand up to her mother. The dad (who’s paying for half the wedding) should at least put his foot down about the guest list, and invite whomever he and his wife would like to be there. Wedding photos can be of the two families separately, including the stepmom. Otherwise, resentment will linger and poison the relationship between stepmom and stepdaughter. -- ANOTHER STEPMOM DEAR STEPMOM: I encouraged “Disappearing” to attend the wedding to support her stepdaughter and inject a dose of reality into the “fantasy,” and readers were quick to share their views: DEAR ABBY: I, too, am stepmom to two beautiful young women whose mother harbors animosity toward me and my husband. When the girls were kids she filled their heads with lies about us. Their father and I remained noncritical, loving and constant. There were some rocky years, but my stepdaughters and I have made it through. When the younger one was married two years ago, she did a beautiful job including me. Her mother spent the wedding day spewing vile lies about us to anyone who’d listen, and is still bitter these 26 years later. The girls see their mother as she is and do not let her affect their relationship with us. For this I credit my husband, who never tolerated her ill treatment of me. Stepmoms are not looking to be in the spotlight or take anyone’s place. But we are an important part of the modern family and should be treated with the honor and respect we deserve. -- MADE IT THROUGH DEAR ABBY: I work in the wedding industry, and all too frequently I see the 534 COMMERCIAL PROPERTY 526 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY 534 COMMERCIAL PROPERTY BRIDE RESISTS MOM’S ATTEMPT TO KEEP STEPMOM IN SHADOWS 349969 520 HOMES LOWER KEYS 5B KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIED 6B THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIED 620 AUTOS FOR SALE 620 AUTOS FOR SALE 620 AUTOS FOR SALE 620 AUTOS FOR SALE 620 AUTOS FOR SALE 620 AUTOS FOR SALE 620 AUTOS FOR SALE 650 SCOOTERS 2004 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab 4x4, auto, a/c, alloys $10,995 Dual a/c, navigation, alloys, sunroof, DVD, leather $13,995 2007 Honda Accord EX Coupe, auto, a/c, leather, alloys, am/fm/cd. $14,995 2012 Chrysler 200 Conv Auto, a/c, am/fm/cd, alloys. $19,995 2010 Toyota Prius Hydrid Auto, a/c, alloys, p/s, p/w, am/fm/cd $20,995 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Auto, a/c, alloys, am/fm/cd. $24,995 2008 Ford Focus SE5 Auto, a/c, alloys, p/s, p/w, am/fm/cd $10,995 2007 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL Auto, a/c, leather, sunroof, alloys. $13,995 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5S Auto, a/c, p/w, p/l, cdisc, alloys. $16,995 2011 Ford Fiesta SEL 4Door, a/c.

He wrote a play and a movie, built a recording studio, recorded three albums, made several short films and a feature, discovered romance and new friends, and changed the entire course of his life through sheer passion and determination. Rock Solomon now lives part time in Key West and part time in Los Angeles where he works exclusively in music, film and acting. ••••• The Carter Brothers a short time playing together. The band keeps things loose and spontaneous on stage, welcoming requests from the audience. Their song list includes music by Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, The Beatles, Foo Fighters, The Cure, and Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as ‘70s funk, ‘80s pop and ‘90s rock. Most of the LoFis shows are acoustic with Picone and Durante splitting lead vocals and guitar solos. During acoustic shows, Baron plays a percussion instrument called a “Cajon.” And when it’s time to “amp it up,” Baron plays his full drum kit, Picone switches to bass and Durante plays the electric guitar. Durante is originally from Baltimore and has been in Key West for about 18 months. Picone is from New York and recently relocated to Key West. Both are singer/songwriters who also perform as solo artists locally. They also write and record their own songs and occasionally perform their material with the band. Baron is originally from New Jersey and has lived in Key West for over 13 years. He was the full time drummer for the band The Durtbags at Ricks Entertainment complex for 12 years. He is now pursuing a freelance career, performing with different musicians all over Key West. And, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, the Rum Barrel presents sing- er/songwriter Rock Solomon. Take one slightly insane folk singer, mix in a zany old school saxophone player, simmer nine months, season to taste, let stand three more months, then come up with a cool name and you have Rock Solomon. From a nomadic childhood traveling the Pacific Northwest living in old panel vans, trucks and buses with five siblings and a schizophrenic mother, Rock trained in piano, flute, drums and trumpet in his early teens, later becoming a well-known wild child. He joined a high school metal band as a drummer, before dropping out of school, getting in trouble with the law and going on the run shortly after his 18th birthday. After a couple years of running from place to place and taking odd jobs, he abandoned everything and fled to Key West to start over. He arrived with no money, no friends, and slept on the beaches. In a few short years, he enrolled in college and studied art, music, photography, acting and more. He won several art grants including the highly coveted SFCC grant for media. He landed leading roles in “The Glass Menagerie,” “Sordid Lives” and “Incorruptible” that won him great accolades and soldout performances. He won a music contest on MTV & modeled in ads in the New Carter Brothers work the Green Parrot Bar Sons of North Carolina and pioneers of emerging folkrock and bluegrass/newgrass, the Carter Brothers Tim and Danny will include in their make their much-anticipated return to Key West, shows at 5:30 and 10 p.m. Friday, and again at 10 p.m. Saturday, at the Green Parrot Bar, 601 Whitehead St. True American originals, Tim and Dan are blood related to A.P., Sarah and Maybelle Carter of the Carter Family musical dynasty, but they don’t make a big deal of it. Like their momma, who taught them to rinse collard greens in the Maytag, they make their new old-timey music with tried and true ingredients and modern appliances. There might be dumbek and wah-wah banjo, but it still comes out “Pretty Polly.” Think acoustic/electric Led Zeppelin jamming with Earl Scruggs. Intrepid musical warriors and travelers around the planet, they’re bringers of brief moments of love, happiness and bliss, and the creators of their very own unique “appalachianfolkrockfunkedupbluegrassgypsyblues” music.

By the mid-’80s, Baeder was recording sessions with Buddy Guy, James Taylor, and Carly Simon, as well as playing on jingles and film scores. He has had regular “sit ins” included Paul Schaffer from the Letterman Show, Steve Cropper, and Duck Dunn.

King, Cissy Houston and Maxine Brown. He toured with Bo Diddley, Dennis Edwards, Eddie Kendrix, and David Ruffin of The Temptations, and also became the musical director for the great Soul singer, Chuck Jackson, whom he still works with as Chuck’s guitarist. Baeder has strong ties to New Orleans and has frequently worked with piano genius Henry Butler as well as other NOLA musicians including Ivan Neville, Brian Stoltz, Rebbecca Berry and Shannon Powell. He has worked with Blues legend Tracy Nelson and is a featured soloist on Heracio “El Negro” Hernandez’ and Robbie Ameen’s critically acclaimed CD “Robbie and Negro from the Third World War.” Baeder’s 2000 CD release “Maximo Strut” reached #5 on the Blues charts.

As a special treat, Joey will be joined by Doo Wop legend Jimmy Gallagher, lead singer of The Passions, perhaps the most well-known of any white doo wop groups of the ‘50s and ‘60s.

As a bit of music trivia, when Gallagher’s demo of “Just to Be with You” was first delivered to the producers at Audicon Records, Gallager was backed by a duo of studio singers called The Cousins - Paul Simon and Carol King.

For “The Bourne Legacy”, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles. “Gilroy has brought characteristic taste and skill to a nearly impossible task: embracing the past without completely erasing it, thereby creating an invitingly com365490 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 ◆ PARADISE Jeremy Renner and Ed Norton in ‘The Bourne Legacy’ plicated and open-ended future.” - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post “Gilroy, who as a screenwriter has shaped the movie saga from the beginning, trades the wired rhythms established in the past two episodes by Paul Greengrass for something more realistic and closer to the ground. The change is refreshing.” - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly “He won’t erase any memories of Damon, but Renner’s turn is strong enough to stand on its own.” - Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News Opens Friday, Sept. 7 “Safety Not Guaranteed” Rated R. Runtime 1:26 Showtimes daily at 2:15*, 4:15, 6:30, and 8:40 p.m. In the scrappy romantic comedy “Safety Not Guaranteed,” an unusual classified ad inspires three cynical Seattle magazine employees (Aubrey Plaza, Jake Johnson and Karan Soni) to look for the story behind it. They discover a mysterious eccentric named Kenneth (Mark Duplass, “Your Sister’s Sister”), a likable but paranoid supermarket clerk, who believes he’s solved the riddle of time travel and intends to depart again soon. Together, they embark on a hilarious, smart and unexpectedly heartfelt journey that reveals how far believing can take you. Written by Derek Connolly and directed by Colin Trevorrow. “Sometimes a movie comes out of nowhere and wins you over. “Safety Not Guaranteed” is that kind of unexpected gift.” - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone “A small movie with a big heart, ‘Safety Not Guaranteed’ is a sci-fi-tinged oddball comedy about love as the ultimate risky adventure.” - Justin Chang, Variety “A big win for everyone involved, ‘Safety Not Guaranteed’ is especially exciting for fans of Aubrey Plaza, who proves she’s good for more than snarky scenestealing and can actually carry a film.” - John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter Opens Friday, Sept. 7 “Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present” Rated NR.

Based on the best-selling novel by Chantal Thomas, the film stars Léa Seydoux as one of Marie’s ladies-in-waiting, seemingly innocent but quietly working her way into her mistress’s special favors, until history tosses her fate onto a decidedly different path. Diane Kruger gives her best performance to date as the ill-fated Queen and Virginie Ledoyen is the Queen’s special friend Gabrielle de Polignac. With the action moving effortlessly from the gilded drawing rooms of the nobles to the back quarters of those who serve them, “Farewell, My Queen” is at once accurate and sumptuous in its visual details and modern in its emotions. (Fully subtitled) “Benoît Jacquot’s tense, absorbing, pleasurably original look at three days in the life and lies of a doomed monarch.” - Manohla Dargis, Opens Friday, Sept. 7 New York Times “Deftly captures the sense “Farewell, My Queen” of impending revolution from within the mirrored halls of Rated R.

Using her own body as a vehicle, pushing herself beyond her physical and mental limits - and at times risking her life in the process - she creates performances that challenge, shock, and move us. Through her and with her, boundaries are crossed, consciousness expanded, and art as we know it is reborn. She is, quite simply, one of the most compelling artists of our time. -Music Box Films “Ms. Abramovic is an eloquent and passionate explicator of her art and the experiences that informed it.” - A.O. Scott, New York Times “She’s trying to access a shared humanity, to foster an unusual intimacy with viewers - to strip herself, often literally, to a naked and undeniable truth.” - Chris Packham, Village Voice “An intelligent overview that makes a radical artist’s work comprehensible to audiences with no previous awareness of her or her chosen path.” Robert Koehler, Variety Key West Film Society members.

I enjoy meeting new people and traveling to new places. I currently live in Big Coppitt with my husband, one dog, two parrots and three cats. Some of my favorite hobbies are cross-stitching, reading and boating. My professional career has varied from facilities manager, construction administrator, operations coordinator, planning assistant and long-haul truck driver. I have traveled the entire continental United States, one of my many proud accomplishments. I currently work as a contractor for the Department of Defense with Quality Services International, helping the medical department of the Navy. In my spare time I volunteer as much as I can for various organizations throughout Key West, including AIDS Help, Inc. and the Sugarloaf Volunteer Fire Department. I am running for Queen of Fantasy Fest again for two important reasons: To raise money for AIDS Help so that everyone in Monroe County can receive the help they need and to continue educating the public on what AIDS Help does in our community. The AIDS virus is not selective; it can affect everyone. My promise is to continue educating the public so maybe one day HIV/AIDS will be no more.

After winning the title of Duchess this past year, many exciting things happened to make it one of my best years ever. With that in mind I have decided to run again for Queen of Fantasy Fest 2012.
