Hot on their trail will be hundreds of bloodthirsty anglers. The blood lust for mutton snappers — especially when they are easy targets during the spawn — has some anglers calling for more protection. Lower Keys spear fisher- man Don DeMaria proposed closing down Western Dry Rocks, as the reef is only one of two major snapper spawning areas off the continental United States, DeMaria said. The other major snapper and grouper spawning area is Riley’s Hump in the Tortugas Ecological Reserve, which was closed to fishing in 2001. Both reserves produce mutton snapper that migrate throughout the Florida Keys See SPAWN, Page 8A Dion’s founder leaves his legacy in the Keys BY GWEN FILOSA Citizen Staff Lawrence “Larry” R.

CLARIN/PUBLISHER TOM TUELL/EDITOR RALPH MORROW/SPORTS EDITOR THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 2013 OPINION NANCY SCHMOHL BECKWITH ROBERT CINTRON JR. KEN DOMANSKI SHIRLEY FREEMAN TODD GERMAN There are multiple ways to address gun violence T he National Rifle Association revealed a plan [last] Tuesday to arm teachers and volunteers to guard U.S. schools. The plan is naive, dangerous and expensive, and here’s why: First, we have all seen too many movies and television police shows where a handsome cop rips off a round or two and cleanly nails someone shooting at him. Bruce Willis can do it hundreds of times in the same movie. How hard can it be? But police officers who have been in shooting situations, and years of statistics, tell another story. An interesting story in January’s “Time” magazine interviewed cops who have faced gunfire and those who train police officers. The article is titled “Your Brain in a Shootout: Guns, Fear and Flawed Instincts.” “Winning a gunfight without shooting innocent people typically requires realistic, expensive training and a special kind of person,” the article said. Even the trained officers of the New York City police department only hit their targets 18 percent of the time. Recently, when they fired at an armed man outside the Empire State Building they hit nine bystanders before felling the man. In 2009, a man tried robbing an off-duty police officer at an ATM. Both men fired repeatedly at each other from only feet apart, and neither man was hit. The officer fired six times before the robber just ran away. “Under sudden attack, the brain does not work the way we think it will,” said Ryan Millbern who, as a police officer, has responded to two active-shooter incidents in his career. Millbern said he has seen grown men “freeze under threat, like statues.” They forget or struggle to do simple things, like release the safety on their guns. “I’ve heard arguments that an armed teacher could and would respond to an active shooter in the same way a cop would. I think this is very unrealistic.” Editorial Second, there would be the tremendous expense of maintaining trained teachers, police officers and volunteers in schools with only a negligible chance of a shooting incident. Most police officers go an entire career without firing their weapon, and they are facing bad people every day. Finally, introducing guns into thousands of American schools would risk accidental discharges, like those that have already occurred in schools with police resource officers. Since we are throwing around ideas, how about this one: Stop the person before they can get near children by installing intruder-proof doors in hallways and classrooms. Then place panic buttons in strategic places, like the school’s front office. In an incident like Newtown, a secretary or principal in the office could have instantly locked down the entire school, which would have made it difficult or impossible for Adam Lanza to enter any of the classrooms. It would also have alleviated the need for them to confront the heavily armed killer. Only police would know how to release the door locks, plus teachers would be able to unlock individual rooms from inside their classrooms when they felt the danger had passed. That would be a one-time expense, but it would likely be less costly than buying tens of thousands of weapons and paying teachers for 40-60 hours of training and regular refresher courses. It would also eliminate the need to introduce guns, which would give children a false sense of the actual danger they face each day in school. Sound like a better plan? There may be others. The trouble with the NRA is that their solution to gun problems is always more guns. — The (Lewiston, Maine) Sun Journal Letters to the editor The Conch Republic isn’t a fictional nation Yes it is true. The U.S. Coast Guard will not be allowed to participate in our annual reenactment of the Great Battle of the Conch Republic, scheduled for April 26 in Key West Harbor. It is important that everyone understands that this is not the decision, nor the intent of our local Coast Guard Sector Key West. I know that they are every bit as disappointed as we are that their participation in this year’s signature event of the island’s annual Conch Republic Independence Celebration was due entirely to the nation’s federal sequestration misguided application of budget cuts. I find it necessary to make a correction concerning the article. The Conch Republic is not a fictional nation. It represents a very real spirit, which is shared by many of us. And the Conch Republic Navy is not a fictitious outfit. Also, when referring to the United States Navy, it should be referred to as the United States Navy, not the “real” Navy. The Conch Republic Navy is much smaller, but every bit as real. Our Conch Republic military forces, including the Conch Republic Navy, Air Force and Army, have accomplished numerous humanitarian missions of mercy and goodwill, which were supported by countless generous supporters. Long Live the Conch Republic. Long Live the United States of America. Finbar Gittleman Key West What is the motive behind the editorial? Regarding The Citizen’s Saturday editorial, “Kick the tires before buying Old Seven,” I could not agree more about researching with a fine-tooth comb, in a transparent way, the Old Seven Mile Bridge’s condition. The same is to be said about any venture or investment by the Board of County Commissioners that involves the county. Although, when specious insinuations prior to that information being placed on the table are made, it gives me the impression someone is just trying to kill a project for the sake of killing it. Anyone who distorts information before the factual information is disseminated, reviewed, researched and then presented, is being less than forthright, and, of course, that begs the question: Your motive is? Reconstructing the Old Seven Mile Bridge has tremendous potential and merits discussion not only as an economic investment that will pay huge dividends, but also equally as important in protecting an icon of our cultural inheritance — a structure that is on both the federal and state historical registers, a structure that leads to an island with buildings on the historical register and of greater historical significance than the Gato Building and other historic treasures within the county. The Old Seven Mile Bridge is an element of a structure of such a stupendous stature it was referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World. State, federal and local governments have, over time, invested heavily throughout the world in protecting historical assets. To do less reflects poorly on one’s recognition of his or her responsibility in respecting and protecting its past for future generations. Once again, I have to ask the underlying purpose of this premature editorial and comments by others in a potstirring article whose purpose just may be to keep other areas beyond the Cow Key Bridge from having a world class attraction? George Neugent Monroe County Commission Pastor’s opinion should follow the dinosaurs In response to the pastor in Key West, his attitude is a slap in the face to thousands of couples who go for fertility treatment to have children. To use that as a reason we shouldn’t allow same-sex marriage is a joke. His opinion doesn’t make it right. Everyone has a right to opinions, but mine is that anyone should be allowed to marry regardless of gender. I think as our generation ages, the younger generations will wonder what the big deal was about it all. I can only hope that the pastor’s opinion goes the way of the dinosaurs.

The outraged reaction to her of life, the meritocracy as comments notwithstandwe know it mostly works to BY ROSS DOUTHAT S ing, Patton wasn’t telling Princetonians anything they didn’t already understand. Of course Ivy League schools double as dating services. Of course members of elites — yes, gender egalitarians, the males as well as the females — have strong incentives to marry one another, or at the very least find a spouse from within the wider meritocratic circle. What better way to double down on our pre-existing advantages? What better way to minimize, in our descendants, the chances of the dread phenomenon known as “regression to the mean”? That this “assortative mating,” in which the best-educated Americans increasingly marry one another, also ends up perpetuating existing inequalities seems blindingly obvious, which is no doubt why it’s considered embarrassing and reactionary to talk about it too overtly. We all know what we’re supposed to do — our mothers don’t have to come out and say it! Why, it would be like tell- ing elite collegians that they should all move to similar cities and neighborhoods, surround themselves with their kinds of people and gradually price everybody else out of the places where social capital is built, influence exerted and great careers made. No need — that’s what we’re already doing! (What Richard Florida called “the mass relocation of highly skilled, highly educated and highly paid Americans to a relatively small number of metropolitan regions, and a corresponding exodus of the traditional lower and middle classes from these same places” is one of the striking social facts of the modern meritocratic era.) We don’t need wellmeaning parents lecturing us about the advantages of elite self-segregation, and giving the game away to everybody else. ... Or it would be like telling admissions offices at elite schools that they should seek a form of student-body “diversity” that’s mostly cosmetic, designed to flatter multicul- tural sensibilities without threatening existing hierarchies all that much. They don’t need to be told — that’s how the system already works! The “holistic” approach to admissions, which privileges resume-padding and extracurriculars over raw test scores or GPAs, has two major consequences: It enforces what looks suspiciously like de facto discrimination against Asian applicants with high SAT scores, while disadvantaging talented kids — often white and working class and geographically dispersed — who don’t grow up in elite enclaves with parents and friends who understand the system. The result is an upper class that looks superficially like America, but mostly reproduces the previous generation’s elite. But don’t come out and say it! Next people will start wondering why the names in the U.S. News rankings change so little from decade to decade. Or why the American population gets bigger and bigger, but our richest universities admit the same size classes every year, Or why in a country of 300 million people and countless universities, we can’t seem to elect a president or nominate a Supreme Court justice who doesn’t have a Harvard or Yale degree. No, it’s better for everyone when these questions aren’t asked too loudly. The days of noblesse oblige are long behind us, so our elite’s entire claim to legitimacy rests on theories of equal opportunity and upward mobility, and the promise that “merit” correlates with talents and deserts. That the actual practice of meritocracy mostly involves a strenuous quest to avoid any kind of downward mobility, for oneself or for one’s kids, is something every upper-class American understands deep in his or her highly educated bones. But really, Susan Patton, do we have to talk about it? Ross Douthat is a syndicated columnist with The New York Times. 5A THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 2013 FROM PAGE 1 Fire Deputy Continued from Page 1A Continued from Page 1A minutes of the call — but arrived to find the fire already through the restaurant roof, Callahan said. Crews went to work containing the fire and keeping flames from reaching four, 500-pound propane canisters in the rear of the restaurant. “That would have been a mess,” the chief said. “But they kept it contained to the restaurant. No fishing boats in the marina caught fire and they kept the fire from nearby stores and the hotel.” Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies evacuated people in the nearby area while fire crews worked, said Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Deputy Becky Herrin. Fire crews and investigators were on scene most of the day Saturday, dousing hot spots and investigating the origin. That investigation is ongoing, Callahan said. Though arson has not been 2008, Jaime Miranda has been disciplined by the Sheriff’s Office for four relatively minor agency violations. Miranda, 30, was cited for one neglectof-duty offense for failure to keep a Sheriff’s Office bicycle from being stolen in 2011, twice in 2012 for arriving late for work and once for failure to maintain current firearm qualifications, according to Sheriff’s Office Internal Affairs records. Miranda received a letter of counseling for the firearm violation, and a 12-hour suspension for the second tardiness violation. The first tardiness violation led to a written reprimand, and the stolen bicycle drew a letter of counseling. An internal investigation of the alleged drug transaction Saturday is ongoing, and Miranda has been suspended without pay.

The point of origin appears to be in the kitchen, but that’s all investigators were willing to say for sure on Monday, Callahan said. The fire moved from the kitchen into a bar area, but the entire restaurant suffered smoke and water damage, he said. One deputy was treated for smoke inhalation, as was a cook at the restaurant, and a firefighter suffered an injury to his eye while battling the blaze. All were treated and released from Fishermen’s Hospital, Callahan said. allege Miranda obtained what he thought were 10 oxycodone pills from a cooperating defendant while in his patrol car at the Winn-Dixie parking lot in Big Pine Key, according to a Sheriff’s Office statement. He reportedly agreed to pay the informant on Monday. Detectives then radioed Miranda and asked to meet with him at a “pre-determined location,” where he was taken into custody, according to an arrest report. Detectives then searched his patrol car and allegedly found another 12 painkillers in the glove box and a pipe with marijuana residue in Miranda’s pants pocket, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Miranda allegedly admitted to ingesting part of one of the fake pills he purchased right after the transaction took place. He also admitted to taking the additional painkillers from his aunt’s residence without her permission. “Deputy Miranda indicated he has an uncontrollable pill abuse problem and was aware that his actions were unlawful, and he expressed remorse,” the report states. Miranda was charged with conspiracy to purchase narcotics, possession of synthetic narcotics, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of drug paraphernalia. He was booked into jail and was released 11 a.m. Sunday on $12,000 bail. Miranda works as a road patrol deputy in the Lower Keys. alinhardt@keysnews.com KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIED® 305.292.7777 305.295 382225 .0111 Dinner • 5-10pm nightly LOCA LS SPECI AL • 5-6:15pm daily 50% off regular menu and wines by the glass* Corner of Southard & Frances Streets 305.294.023 0 · www.cafesole.com/opentable EAT ME. 382403 Not available with any other discounts *expires at our discretion Exotic cooking with no boundaries!

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey oversees Kennedy, LaGuardia, Newark Liberty and Teterboro airports. The agency confirmed Monday it was fined more than $3 million for violations going back to 2010. Spokeswoman Lisa MacSpadden says the Port Authority officers linked to the violations attended recertification sessions. But she says some of the paperwork that proves it was lost or incomplete. She says an undetermined number of officers may have missed hours. United Airlines is putting its grounded Boeing 787 back in the flight schedule, even though the plane is still grounded by government authorities. United acknowledged on Monday that the plane is in its schedule starting May 31. Travel website Jaunted.com noted a 787 flight from Houston to Denver that day. United Continental Holdings Inc. spokeswoman Christen David says the airline will make more schedule changes as it gets a better idea of when the plane will be cleared to fly. It’s planning to resume international 787 flying June 10, from Denver to Tokyo. Boeing Co. has proposed a fix for the 787’s smoldering batteries, but it needs approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. The fix will then have to be installed on each plane. United owns six 787s. A judge in New York says he finds it “stunning” that federal budget woes could delay the start of a terrorism trial for Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law. Judge Lewis Kaplan made the comment Monday as he set deadlines for defense lawyers to submit pre-trial arguments on behalf of Sulaiman Abu Ghaith (SOO’-lay-mahn AH’-boo GAYTH). Ghaith was brought to the United States last month. He’s charged with conspiring to kill Americans in his alleged role as al-Qaida’s top propagandist after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. He has pleaded not guilty. Kaplan suggested he might set a trial date as early as September. SUSAN WALSH/The Associated Press President Barack Obama meets Rep.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS LONDON — The first volume of Margaret Thatcher’s authorized biography will be published immediately after her funeral. Allen Lane, which is part of Penguin Books, said Monday that “Not for Turning” Thatcher by Charles Moore was commissioned in 1997 on the understanding that it would not be published during the former British prime minister’s lifetime. Thatcher died from a stroke Monday morning at age 87. Her funeral is expected to be held at some point next week. Moore was given full access to Thatcher’s private papers and interviewed her extensively. The publisher said that Thatcher also supported requests for interviews with others, including those who worked most closely with her and her family. Permission was also granted to former and existing civil servants to speak freely about the Thatcher years. ✬✬✬✬✬ NEW YORK — The Walt Disney Co. says Annette Funicello, who went from Mouseketeer to beach party movie icon, has died at age 70.

Yet she was cheerful and upbeat, grappling with the disease with a courage that contrasted with her lightweight teen image of old. Funicello The pretty, dark-haired Funicello was just 13 when she gained fame on Walt Disney’s television kiddie “club,” an amalgam of stories, songs and dance routines that ran from 1955 to 1959.

U.S. Reps. Ileana RosLehtinen and Mario DiazBalart say they want information on the type of license the R&B power couple received to travel to the communist island. U.S. citizens are not allowed to travel to Cuba for mere tourism, though they can get a license for academic, religious, journalistic or cultural exchange visits. The artists marked their fifth wedding anniversary in Havana last week. The Congress Beyonce members say they represent a community that includes former political prisoners. Both support Washington’s 51-year embargo against the island. ✬✬✬✬✬ NEW YORK — A New York City trial for a Canadian actress accused of stalking Alec Baldwin has been postponed.

Authorities say she had implored Baldwin to see and to marry her. They say she sent him emails only days after he became engaged to yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas. Obama budget plan revisits small-bore budget cuts BY ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Even as it adds fuel to battles over taxes and Social Security, President Barack Obama’s budget will reprise lots of smaller bore proposals that have gone nowhere in a gridlocked Washington. Ideas like higher Transportation Security Administration fees on airline tickets, the end of Saturday mail delivery and higher pension contributions for federal workers are the hardy perennials of Obama’s budgets, reprised year after year, along with more widely known proposals like taxing oil companies and the rich. Many of the ideas have been seen as candidates for inclusion in broader deficit deals that have never come to pass. Obama proposes some $200 J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE/The Associated Press Printed copies of President Barack Obama’s proposed budget plan for fiscal year 2014 are prepared for binding at the U.S. Government Printing Office in Washington on Monday. billion in savings outside of health care costs, including a new fee on telecommunications companies and other users of federally licensed com- munications spectrum and billions of dollars claimed by selling off excess federal properties. They are part of Obama’s most recent, spurned budget offer to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in December and will be reprised when Obama’s budget comes out on Wednesday. Efforts for a “grand bargain” on the budget between Obama and Congress have proven elusive, however, and standalone attempts to advance the proposals — including cutting farm subsidies and overhauling the Postal Service — have bogged down as well. At issue are dozens of longstanding options to trim the federal budget. They include eliminating direct payments to farmers even if they don’t produce a crop and curbing $30 billion worth of Medicare payments over a decade to hospitals to reimburse them for patients who don’t pay deductibles and copayments. But the nature of budget cuts or new fees is that they often go after powerful interest groups. So they typically die, only to be reprised year after year as the administration assembles its budget wish list. For instance, Obama’s proposal to save about $140 billion over a decade by reducing Medicare payments to drug companies is opposed by both Republicans and Democrats. Obama’s proposal to require federal workers to contribute more to their pensions is opposed by both his labor union allies and many Democratic lawmakers alike. And legislation to stem losses by the Postal Service by allowing it to cut Saturday delivery and close facilities has to pass through a gantlet of unions and lawmakers worried of shuttering facilities in their districts and states. Senate Republicans have eas- ily repelled recent attempts by the Appropriations Committee to enact a $2.50 increase in airline security fees that would double the per-passenger TSA fee for those taking nonstop flights that’s based on proposals of the budgets of both Obama and George W. Bush. It’ll be reprised on Wednesday. The only hope for many such proposals is that they get wrapped together as part of a bigger budget deal that’s sold to wary lawmakers as shared sacrifice. The dozens of often smallbore proposals in Obama’s budget are being overshadowed by more controversial ideas like reducing the cost-of-living increases for Social Security beneficiaries or renewed calls to increase taxes, like a proposal to cap deductions at a 28 percent rate instead of the top rate of 39.6 percent. Miami-Cuba seaborne shipping company quits after big, but bumpy start BY CHRISTINE ARMARIO The Associated Press MIAMI — It was two weeks before Christmas, and Robinson Perez had bundles of gifts ready for his family in Cuba: A giant plastic Barbie doll and stuffed animals for his two daughters. For his pregnant sister, a wooden crib and baby clothes. Perez could not go to Cuba for the holidays, so he chose the next best thing: Maritime shipping from Miami to Havana. The freight service was launched in July by International Port Corp. to significant fanfare. It was the first direct maritime shipment of humanitarian goods between Miami and Havana since the U.S. economic embargo began against Fidel Castro’s communist government five decades ago. Thousands of customers began sending goods like medicine, toiletries and food at lower cost than by airplane. Others began sending big items that had been difficult to ship by air: washing machines, refrigerators and housing construction supplies. Less than a year later, however, the service has ground to a halt, The Associated Press has learned. The ship had mechanical problems, the International Port Corp. was sued for allegedly not paying its bills and the Cuban government’s package delivery company provided slow service. Customers like Perez were left frustrated as their packages took much longer than expected to arrive at their Cuban relatives’ homes. Candy canes and cookies that families shipped in December for Christmas and New Year’s Day arrived closer to Valentine’s Day. “They said it would take much less time,” Perez said. “But well, they had to wait.” The roots of the operation developed in in 2009 when President Barack Obama issued the first of several executive orders expanding travel and the flow of humanitarian goods between the U.S. and Cuba. Restrictions on how many times Cuban-Americans could travel to the island were lifted. The amount of money they could send in remittances was raised. Larry Nussbaum, president of the International Port Corp., said he saw it as an opportunity to tap into a growing market. “It was going to be a tremendous amount of volume, and the current providers were not organized properly,” Nussbaum said. The time appeared right. People who have arrived recently in the U.S. from Cuba tend to have strong family ties to the island, are more likely to send remittances and visit. And while Miami-based companies that sent packages to Cuba once were threatened or even bombed by anti-Castro groups, that violence has largely ended. Cuban-Americans had already been sending parcels to their relatives on the island, but primarily through often illegal third-country routes and “mules” — people who travel to the island with packages they then deliver for a fee. Nussbaum said he coordinated with the Coast Guard and Cuban authorities to charter a ship both sides could approve. They chose the Ana Cecilia, a medium-sized cargo ship painted red, white and blue — the colors of the U.S. and Cuban flags — owned by Miami Epic Shipping. International Port Corp. also set up a contract with CubaPACK, Cuba’s government-owned delivery service, to deliver packages in Havana within a week to 10 days, and to the rest of the island within 15 to 20. On the ship’s inaugu- ral voyage in July, the sailing was not smooth. When the Ana Cecilia approached Havana’s port, it wasn’t initially allowed to dock because some paperwork hadn’t been approved, International Port Corp. spokesman Leonardo Sanchez said. It docked the next morning.

The current law has come under fire because it allows utilities to charge customers even if the plant never gets built. But past efforts to repeal the law have gone nowhere in the Legislature. A Senate panel on Monday approved a bill (SB 1472) that would place limits on how much utilities could collect. It would require state regulators to sign off on the fee after utilities reach certain stages Florida’s largest utility companies oppose the legislation. Lawyers for a man scheduled to be executed Wednesday for kidnapping and murdering a Pinellas County girl 33 years ago have filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court. The appeal comes less than a week after the state Supreme Court unanimously rejected the argument that Larry Eugene Mann shouldn’t be executed because the jury that recommended the death sentence wasn’t unanimous. Mann’s lawyers also argue that his constitutional rights were violated because Gov. Rick Scott signed his death warrant through a standardless and secret process. Mann kidnapped and murdered 10-yearold Elisa Nelson. Mann smashed her head with a piece of steel pipeand later tried to kill himself by slashing his wrists. TALLAHASSEE Activists urge expanded health coverage in Florida BOB MACK/The Associated Press Two loggerhead turtles make their way to the surf follow-theleader style as bystanders and volunteers watch. Fifty-two sea turtles stranded and rescued off the Massachusetts coast last fall were released at Little Talbot Island State Park after arriving in Jacksonville by caravan Sunday morning. Staff and volunteers at the New England Aquarium’s Animal Care Center in Quincy, Mass., and a group from the National Aquarium in Maryland accompanied them in four SUVs. Women’s-rights activists rallying in Tallahassee are calling on lawmakers to expand health insurance coverage to more Floridians. Planned Parenthood supporters gathered near the Capitol on Monday to urge lawmakers to accept billions of dollars in federal funding under the Affordable Care Act to expand health coverage in Florida. Sen. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood, said Floridians pay their fair share of federal taxes and deserve access to available federal funding to broaden health coverage. House and Senate committees have voted against expanding Medicaid coverage to more than 1 million Floridians. Gov. says no to higher contribution limits BY BRENDAN FARRINGTON AND GARY FINEOUT The Associated Press Photo courtesy of Don Kincaid Some fishermen have called on Florida Keys Marine Sanctuary officials to set aside Western Dry Rocks reef as a no-fishing zone in order to protect mutton snapper. The area is a known spawning area for the fish. Spawn Continued from Page 1A and Florida, said DeMaria, a member of South Atlantic Fishery Management Council’s Snapper Grouper Advisory Panel. DeMaria also serves on the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary’s Ecosystem Protection Working Group, which will make recommendations to the Sanctuary Advisory Council on setting aside closed areas. His proposal is part of a management review process the sanctuary is currently undertaking. “It’s the goose that lays the golden eggs. Why would you want to kill it and eat it?” DeMaria asked. “It’s like clockwork; fishermen go there and target muttons. They know where to go and when to go.” Western Dry Rocks has been featured in national fishing magazines as one of the best reefs to hunt mutton snappers during the spawn. A 2007 edition of Saltwater Sportsman featured Western Dry Rocks specifically in an article titled “Mutton Moon Madness.” “As the April moon waxes full, mutton mania grips South Florida,” the article states. Last year, members of the Drugs Continued from Page 1A tives received information that Jasmani Vizcaino Gonzalez, 27, allegedly had built secret compartments and false walls in his home to conceal drugs and money, according to a Key West Police Department press release. Gonzalez was arrested and charged with felony possession and trafficking. Meanwhile, another operation was occurring in the Upper Keys that resulted in a traffic stop and seizure of 500 illegal prescription pills and Snapper Grouper Advisory Panel recommended the council “consider” making Western Dry Rocks a closed spawning area — or at least implement a seasonal closure during the spawn. A June 2012 report from the fishery’s Law Enforcement Committee states that most of the mutton spawn fishing occurs at Western Dry Rocks and Eyeglass Bar, also off Key West. “Law enforcement officers report witnessing many fishermen making multiple trips in one day and harvesting over the individual or vessel limit,” the report states. “Law enforcement officers suspect that many of the fish are being sold directly to local restaurants and the harvest is likely not being properly monitored.” The report also states the spawn “is the one time of the year when the 10-fish bag limit of mutton snapper is likely to be caught. During the remainder of the year, mutton snapper are not plentiful enough in the area for most fishermen to catch their bag limit.” The South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico fishery management councils have discussed implementing reduced bag limits and establishing closed areas during the spawn, but have not moved forward with a formal proposal. The Florida Keys Commercial Fishermen’s Association is calling DeMaria’s proposal too restrictive. Instead, the association calls for reduced bag limits during the spawn. The current bag limit is 10 fish per person per day. “We don’t need any more closed areas, as this could be corrected through changes to bag limits,” said association board President Capt. Ernie Piton. Three working groups are working on recommendations to the Sanctuary Advisory Council. The council will have a “rich discussion” on the recommendations at its July meeting, said sanctuary Superintendent Sean Morton. But working groups will not make their formal recommendations to the council until either the August or October meeting, he said. Any fishing regulation changes will be made in conjunction with the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico fishery management councils or the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Morton said. There would also be environmental and socio-economic impact studies done before changes to fishing rules are implemented. tohara@keysnews.com eight grams of cocaine from a van. Ihobel Perez, 32, of Stock Island, and Alberto Vizcaino Gonzalez, 32, of Miami, were arrested as a result of that stop and charged with drug possession and trafficking. Both are felony charges. Police also raided the Key Haven home of Juliette Vizcaino, 27, wife of Alberto, who was home with an unreported number of children. She was charged with felony cocaine possession. All arrested were taken to Monroe County Detention Center on Stock Island. Bob Breeden, FDLE spokesman, confirmed that state agents were taking part in the investigation, but declined to comment on the case. Sheriff Rick Ramsay could not be reached for comment Monday. Lee called the arrests “significant,” as they reflect the department’s commitment to fighting drug trafficking, particularly the illegal sale of prescription painkillers. “It is a huge problem in every community in America, including our own, and it’s a bigger problem for us than all the other drugs combined,” Lee said. “We are absolutely targeting and combating the sale of prescription pills.” alinhardt@keysnews.com TALLAHASSEE — Efforts to raise campaign contribution limits could be dead for this year after Gov. Rick Scott’s office said Monday he is unlikely to approve any increase. The push to raise limits is being made primarily in the House, which passed a bill (HB 569) that would raise the campaign contribution limit from $500 to $5,000 for statewide candidates and from $500 to $3,000 for legislative candidates. A Senate bill (SB 1382) would raise the contribution limit to $3,000 for statewide candidates but keep it $500 for legislative candidates. But Scott spokeswoman Melissa Sellers said Monday that the governor “can’t imagine signing a bill” that would raise contributions by any amount, and the sponsor of the Senate bill, Sen. Jack Latvala says he agrees with the governor. “I have never had a lot of interest or stomach for the idea of raising individual contribution limits,” said Latvala, R-Palm Harbor, adding that they only reason he’s proposing increases is out of a spirit of compromise with the House. “I understand where the governor is coming from and I support his position.” The House is justifying the higher contribution limits by also requiring candidates to file more campaign finance reports. It also eliminates a type of political committee that some lawmakers have used to pay for meals, enter- tainment and travel that are unrelated to the committees’ purposes. House Speaker Will Weatherford said he hopes the governor will “come around.” “I cannot imagine why he would oppose a bill that increases transparency, ends slush funds and takes away money from third party groups,” said Weatherford, RWesley Chapel. Scott spent more than $70 million of his and his family’s money to get elected — far more than the $17.5 million his opponent, Democrat Alex Sink, raised while being limited by $500 campaign contribution limits. Scott plans to run for reelection next year and the higher contribution levels would allow a Democratic challenger to raise more money.

MLB: BRAVES 2, MARLINS 0 The Associated Press MIAMI — Justin Upton went 4 for 4, including his sixth home run, and Paul Maholm allowed one hit in seven sharp innings to help the Atlanta Braves spoil the Miami Marlins’ home opener Monday by winning 2-0. The Braves earned their fourth consecutive victory and improved to 6-1, their best start since 2007. The Marlins lost their third game in a row and fell to 1-6, their worst start since 2006. Announced attendance was 34,439, with thousands of empty seats and many tickets sold at discounted prices. Some fans pledged to stay away this season because they’re angry that owner Jeffrey Loria reverted to a frugal payroll only a year after the team opened a new ballpark built mostly with taxpayer money. Loria watched the game from his suite, out of the view of potential boo-birds. A handful of spectators wore homemade T-shirts disparaging him, a few others had bags over their heads, and many wore jerseys of Marlins traded in the past year, including Hanley Ramirez, Jose Reyes and Josh Johnson. The only holdover from the Marlins’ opener a year ago who was in the lineup was Giancarlo Stanton, who went 0 for 1 with three walks to drop his average to .174. The team’s newcomers couldn’t do much against Maholm (2-0), who remained unscored upon this season in 122⁄3 innings over two starts. He struck out seven and walked three.

He struck out Adeiny Hechavarria with two on to complete the two-hitter for his third save. Upton singled in the first, doubled in the fourth and homered in the sixth. With a chance at the cycle he singled in the eighth, which dropped his slugging percentage to 1.192 but raised his batting average to .423. Upton, who came into the game tied for the major league lead in homers, hit a solo shot for a 2-0 lead against Kevin Slowey (0-2). Atlanta also scored in the fourth when Upton doubled, went to third on a flyout and came home on Dan Uggla’s groundout. The Braves, who lead the NL East, started a stretch that includes 16 of 18 games on the road. Atlanta struck out only six times, an improvement, but slumping B.J.

The lone hit off Maholm was a single by Placido Polanco in the third inning. ATLANTA — Chane Behanan scored nine quick points early in the second half to help Louisville take the lead over Michigan with 10 minutes left on their way to an 82-76 victory and the national title on Monday night. Michigan freshman Spike Albrecht came in for Player of the Year Trey Burke in the first half and made his first four 3-point attempts to lead the Wolverines with 17 points.

GERALD HERBERT/The Associated Press Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma directs his team Sunday’s women’s NCAA Final Four semifinal against Notre Dame in New Orleans. Auriemma looks for 8th national title BY DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Geno Auriemma has never lost an NCAA championship game. Of course, his UConn Huskies haven’t had to face a team like upstart Louisville, which is making an unprecedented run through the tournament. A victory tonight (8:30 p.m., CBS) over the Cardinals would be UConn’s eighth title, matching them with Tennessee for the most ever in women’s basketball. Auriemma didn’t want to think about it. “Talking about things that haven’t happened yet is never a good idea,” Auriemma said. History is on the Hall of Fame coach’s side: UConn is 7-0 in title games, including a victory in the 2009 game against Louisville and the 2004 game that was also played in New Orleans. That game was the college finale of Diana Taurasi, who finished with three straight championships. This trip to the Big Easy could be the beginning of a new dynasty for the Huskies led by Breanna Stewart. The heralded freshman has been on one of the most remarkable runs of any first year player in the history of the NCAA tournament. She had a season-high 29 points in the semifinal victory over Notre Dame and was honored as the most outstanding player of the Bridgeport regional. Auriemma said he couldn’t remember a player having a better game in such a setting. Stewart already has scored 82 points in the NCAA tournament — the most ever by a UConn freshman, passing teammate Kaleena MosquedaLewis’ 79-point effort last season. And she has done it in four games as the Syracuse native sat out the opening round rout of Idaho.

Quinton Dieterle of Miami, released 15 sailfish to earn first place and $44,780 in the Pro Division of the inaugural Key West Sailfish Championship that concluded Sunday. Get Lit ended Thursday’s first fishing day leading the division with five releases, but slipped into second place in the standings on Friday after scoring three sailfish. On Sunday, staying slightly east of American Shoals most of the day, the team logged a release at 8:34 a.m. and subsequently added six more to its overall tally to secure the win. “We caught some fish early in the morning, and then we had one or two fish come up that wouldn’t eat,” said Bill Danko of Cincinnati. “We made a move around 1 p.m. further east, found some good water with a nice edge, started to see some tailers and were able to capitalize on that.” The Get Lit team also consisted of anglers Peter Miller, Cap Hinckley and Jon Cooper of Miami. Second place in the Pro Division and $36,064 went to Silent Hunter, captained by B.J. Meyer of Marathon, with 12 released sails — including eight Sunday. The team consisted of owner Paula Marshall of Tulsa, Okla., and Marathon’s Ben Zdan, James Platt, Ely Hernandez, Cody Darbie, John Callion and George Athanasopoulos. 4 Aces, owned by Miami’s Pedro Adrian, captured third place in Pro, earning $25,436 for a three-day total of 10 releases. Fishing with Adrian were Miami anglers Robbie Ramirez, Ignacio Quintana, Jeffrey Lieberman and Alex Castellanos, guided by Miami’s Capt. John Dudas. Team SeaHunter topped the field in the Non-Pro Division with 10 releases, taking home $10,000. The team was led by Capt. Ralph Montalvo of Pinecrest with Charlie Schiffer of Homestead as the registered angler. Tournament director Mike Weinhofer reported the event attracted 60 anglers who released 104 sailfish during three fishing days. Saturday was a scheduled lay day.

Advertorial FREE MEDICATION DOSE Rutgers reviewing all sports practice videos Erectile Dysfunction BY ANGELA DELLI SANTI AND KATIE ZEZIMA The Associated Press TRENTON, N.J. — Rutgers officials are scrutinizing practice videos of all sports to see if any coach engaged in behavior like the type that cost men’s basketball coach Mike Rice his job, the university president announced Monday. The inquiry into Rice and how university officials responded is also going deeper as the school announced that it plans to hire a consultant to conduct an independent review. University President Robert Barchi, speaking Monday during a town hall meeting on the school’s Newark campus, said that he wants any instances of bullying or homophobic lan- guage to be reported immediately. He also reiterated that he wished he had viewed the video where Rice — whom Gov. Chris Christie on Monday called an “animal” — shoved players and called them gay slurs when it first surfaced in November, saying he would have fired Rice then. Rice was fired last week only after the video became public. Athletic Director Tim Pernetti, an assistant basketball coach and the university’s top lawyer also resigned last week, while some Rutgers faculty members and others called for Barchi to step down, too. Meanwhile, Christie on Monday defended Barchi’s performance while blasting Rice’s behavior. He also criti- RUTGERS AGAIN NAMES KIRSCHNER INTERIM AD NEWARK, N.J. — Rutgers is turning to former dean Carl Kirschner to run its athletic department amid the basketball scandal that led to the firing of coach Mike Rice and the resignation of athletic director Tim Pernetti. Rutgers president Robert Barchi announced the appointment Monday. This is the second time that Kirschner will run the program. He took over at the start of 2009 after Robert Mulcahy was fired, and held the role for four months, stepping down when Pernetti took over. cized the reaction of those who knew about it and did not fire the coach months ago, when the video was given to university officials and viewed by — at least — Athletic Director Tim Pernetti, university interim counsel John Wolf and Mark Hershhorn, the chairman of the university Board of Governors’ athletics committee. “They were wrong not to come to the conclusion that Coach Rice needed to be fired immediately,” Christie said at a news conference. Hershorn’s lawyer, Jennifer Joseph, said the governor is wrong about Hershorn. Hershorn immediately called for Rice to be fired after he saw the video in December, she said, declining to say where he made the recommendation. While the governor had issued statements previously, it was the first time Christie took questions about the scandal. Clinic Opens in Ft.

It’s about meditation and concentration. You have to use hand and brain.” In bridge you must use your brain to gain the most from each hand you hold. And in this week’s columns, we are looking at balancing, when one player, if he passes, will end the auction. If the dealer opens one of a suit, the next two players pass, and the fourth player jump-overcalls two notrump, it is no longer unusual, showing at least 5-5 in the two lowest unbid suits. Now it is natural. In principle, the intervenor has a hand with which he would have opened two no-trump, but he might be a point or two short of the normal requirements when he has a respectable six-card minor. In this deal, though, South has a classic twono-trump opening and a balancing two-no-trump overcall. North transfers into hearts, then rebids three no-trump to offer a choice of games. South, with only two hearts, passes. After West leads the spade queen, how should South plan the play? Declarer starts with eight top tricks: two spades, three hearts and three clubs. He should work to get a fourth heart winner. After winning the first trick in his hand with the spade ace (to keep dummy’s king as an entry), South should cash his heart ace, then 220 HELP WANTED LOWER KEYS 220 HELP WANTED LOWER KEYS 220 HELP WANTED LOWER KEYS 220 HELP WANTED LOWER KEYS 220 HELP WANTED LOWER KEYS have a positive attitude and be detail oriented.

LOWER KEYS online, can be an important resource to help “Bi in the Deep South” recognize that others have also experienced what she is going through and she can learn from them. She will see there is a place of support and encouragement where it’s OK to talk about what bisexuality means for her. Being part of such a group can be particularly liberating. -- LICENSED COUNSELOR, AUSTIN, TEXAS DEAR ABBY: If “Bi in the Deep South” is comfortable enough with who she is to tell someone, she should not be advised to stay in the closet to any degree. She has the right to be honest with herself and her family and not go through life hiding. Asforpostingone’ssexualorientation on social media profiles, doing so does not change your relationship status. You can be both “in a committed relationship” AND “bisexual.” They are not mutually exclusive. -- BI IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST DEAR ABBY: There is real power in coming out, in voicing your authentic self. There is an emotional cost to remaining silent. Many who do so feel like they are allowing others to assume things about them that are just not true. I speak from personal experience. I was silent for five years, and the day I started talking about the fact that I am bisexual, I felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off me. I hope “Bi in the Deep South” will find the courage to come out and fly her rainbow colors. Although she may have tocorrectsomepeople’smisconceptions of what it means to identify as bisexual, she will feel much better. -- ROBYN IN MASSACHUSETTS 382544 * LA BRISA 2/2 * 4th Floor, Water view Tiled, W/D, new kitchen, covered balcony & carport, pool, beach, Jacuzzi, tennis, bbq. Call now AmeriRealty Corp 305-296-7706 DEAR ABBY: I am writing in response to your answer to “Bi in the Deep South” (Jan. 2), the woman who is happily married to a man, but who now realizes she is bisexual and wants to come out. My wife is an out bisexual woman. You were correct that it is possible to be bisexual without having acted on it, as people are not defined solely by the partner they have. Precisely for that reason, some individuals feel that “bisexual” is who they are, and to omit it feels like living a lie. The notion that stating one’s bisexuality is “advertising that one is available” is why my wife chose to come out -- to combat this misconception. Just as straights can be attracted to people of the opposite sex besides their spouse, so might a coupled bisexual person be attracted to other individuals of both genders. Bisexuals, however, are no more likely to ACT on this attraction than anyone else. “Bi” should just be herself and tell anyone who needs to know when she feels comfortable telling them. And you’re right, Abby -- she should tell her husband first. But if her marriage is as strong and happy as she indicated, I’m pretty sure he already knows. I know I did. -- JON IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR JON: Thank you for writing.
