Dad accused of breaking 9-week-old son’s skull, 15 ribs; biting his knees BY ADAM LINHARDT Citizen Staff

Norman Bruin, first grade Gerald Adams Elementary School

A Marathon father is accused of biting his weeksold son and breaking his skull and 15 ribs in what a doctor called a “horrific” case of child abuse that could have killed the boy. Dominic Allen Davis, 23, of 41st Street, was charged with one count of first-degree felony cruelty toward a child

and aggravated child abuse that caused great bodily harm and disability. If convicted, Davis faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, Assistant State Attorney Paunece Ramage said. Monroe County detectives began investigating Davis on March 8 after Mariners Hospital officials reported the then-9-week-old boy’s severe injuries to the Sheriff’s Office. The boy’s mother claimed she

and Davis took him to the Tavernier hospital because she was unhappy with a previous visit to the Marathon hospital, said Deputy Becky Herrin, spokeswoman for the Sheriff’s Office. He was transferred to Miami Children’s Hospital, where a doctor told a detective, “This case represents horrific child abuse, recurrent and was at the level of potential lethality,” according to an arrest warrant. The child’s skull fracture was caused by someone “hitting him or using him to hit

s o m e t h i n g ,” the doctor reported, but could not discount the possibility the child had been Davis accidentally or intentionally dropped. The broken ribs were likely caused by “the child’s torso being squeezed too tightly,” the doctor reported. “At least one rib had previously been fractured and healed prior” to the examination, the warrant states. “The bite marks (on

the child’s knees) were obviously made by an adult and the totality of the combined injuries could have resulted in the child’s death had treatment not been sought.” Davis allegedly admitted to biting the child, but denied knowing how the other injuries occurred. The baby’s mother told detectives she saw Davis treating the child “roughly” on several occasions, to the point where he would cry and she thought he was in See BABY, Page 3A

The area, which straddles Old Town and New Town, stretches from Whitehead Street to the Overseas Market and covers almost the entire island north to south. Helicopters will spread bacillus thuringiensis israelenis, or BTI, which is an environment-friendly, nontoxic larvicide harmless to humans and wildlife, but deadly to mosquitoes.

Edwards pleads not guilty to fed charges

The state’s mooring field pilot program will allow Monroe County to regulate boats outside established mooring fields. Otherwise, local governments have no authority to do so.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.: Former presidential hopeful John Edwards pleaded not guilty Friday to federal charges that he solicited and secretly spent more than $925,000 to hide his mistress and their baby from the public at the height of his 2008 White House campaign. In a 30-second statement to dozens of reporters and television news cameras that surrounded him outside the courthouse, he said he never thought he was breaking the law. Page 7A

Keys residents invited to give input at 3 meetings this week BY TIMOTHY O’HARA Citizen Staff

There is no place in the state, maybe even the country, where boating is more important than the Florida Keys. Boats are people’s homes, offices and forms of pleasure and transportation. There are 26,181 boats registered in Monroe County. While boating and living on a boat provides a certain quality of life, it also comes with responsibilities that not all boaters are abiding by. The removal of derelict or abandoned vessels has become an expensive problem in the Keys. In 2010, the county and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) removed 103 vessels from Keys waters at a cost of $273,000, said Rich Jones, county Marine

Resources senior administrator. Boaters dumping their raw sewage overboard and into nearshore waters is also an issue. To counter such problems, the state Legislature established a mooring field pilot program in 2009. It has created test policies and regulations that promote the establishment and use of mooring fields and public access to state waters, enhance navigational safety, protect maritime infrastructure and the marine environment, and deter improperly stored, abandoned or derelict vessels. The Monroe County Marine & Port Advisory Committee is hosting three public meetings this week — Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday — to take input on the pilot program and the implementation of its test policies and rules.

The program allows the county to create rules for vessels outside established, managed mooring fields. Before the program, the state’s local governments had no authority to regulate the anchoring activities of non-live-aboard vessels. The county is partnering with Marathon and Key West on the program and possible rules. The FWC has approved five areas of the state to participate in the pilot program, which includes Monroe County. Monroe County will adopt the rules, and the county will coordinate with FWC on enforcing them. In January 2014, the FWC will submit a report on the pilot program to the governor and state Legislature. In July 2014, the local ordinances will end with

You are the best commissioner we have had.” “So where is the money for the Key West Junior Football League? Who is investigating this obvious theft? I think it’s terrible that our kids’ sports league is continually robbed. Why doesn’t the city parks and recreation director hold these leagues accountable?” “I know people are not that bright in this town, but my comment about Fort Zachary had nothing to do with weddings. I was concerned about the huge party that was held there this past weekend, complete with bands, fire pits and alcohol. This is a state park, not a hotel. My kids and I heard it until 1 a.m. from five blocks away. Weddings are fine; massive parties are not.” “No other event besides Fantasy Fest is given a five-year permit and noise exemption. They should have to get one every year like everyone else. Please encourage the mayor and City Commission to treat Fantasy Fest like all other events and offer a one-year exemption.” “What happened to Weekley’s slogan ‘Cleanest Little City in America’? Restricting the times of leaf blowing is one thing, but to prohibit leaf blowing by city street crews is outrageous! Let the employees use proper equipment to keep this city clean.” “In the future, you might want to rethink your headline ‘Happy Memorial Day.’ Many people think of Memorial Day only as a holiday from work or school, when the reality is that it is a day to remember and honor those who have died, especially military.” “Do the Conchs not have any baseball players going to college to play next year?

CRIME REPORT

Knife-wielding man arrested at bus stop CITIZEN STAFF MARATHON — A homeless man accused of wielding a knife outside a convenience store early Friday was arrested after a witness became concerned for nearby children. The man was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, a misdemeanor. A deputy was called to 5561 Overseas Highway at 12:26 a.m. after a convenience store clerk reported that a suspicious man with a knife was outside, according to a Sheriff’s Office offense report. The witness told the deputy that he became nervous when the man pulled out the knife and pointed it at the ground

near the entrance to the store. There were two small children inside the store at the time, according to the report. Deputies viewed surveillance footage at the store that reportedly showed the suspect entering the store twice, but he apparently had pulled the knife out of the camera’s range. The suspec was stopped near a bus stop and taken to the Monroe County Detention Center in Marathon. Information in the Crime Report is obtained from reports provided by area law enforcement agencies. If you have information that could help solve a crime in the Keys, call Crime Stoppers, (800) 346-TIPS.

Young eagle released today

City posts traffic survey online

Beaches test OK for bacteria

Audubon of Florida will release a juvenile bald eagle at 4 p.m. today at the Key West Golf Course, 6450 College Road, that was found emaciated there on May 1. The bird was cared for at the Key West Wildlife Center and transferred to the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in Maitland on May 12. He has since gained weight and is flying well, Audubon said, and will be released where he was found since it is familiar territory and there are other juvenile eagles in the area. The public is invited and asked to arrive at least 15 minutes early, meeting in the golf course parking lot. It marks the 428th bald eagle the Audubon center has released in Florida since 1979.

The city of Key West is asking the public to take a quick survey about traffic, online at www.keywestcity.com. Consultants Calvin, Giordano & Associates posted the survey on the city’s website to gauge how the community feels about traffic issues on the island. The survey is part of the Carrying Capacity Traffic Study, which will look at specialized vehicles and their impacts to roadways and adjacent land uses to help officials with future regulation. It will cover the volume of vehicles, traffic circulation, conflicts between vehicular and non-vehicular traffic, and methods for reducing impacts of traffic in residential neighborhoods. The results of the study also will be used in determining the capacity of area roads.

The Monroe County Health Department’s water-quality tests on Wednesday showed none of the county’s beaches had high levels of bacteria this week. Fecal coliform and enteric bacteria are normally found in the intestinal tract of humans and other warmblooded animals. The Health Department says high levels may come from runoff or sewage from pets, wild animals or humans. It can cause disease, infections or rashes. Don’t swim in the water if a warning is issued.

The Commoners, a local grass-roots group seeking to inject the public’s wishes into the project, proposed hiring PPS for $19,500. Residents Richard Tallmadge and Christine Russell head up the Commoners. “We have the cart before the horse,” Tallmadge told the board of current plans. “I can guarantee that hiring [PPS] will speed this process up. You are stuck in the sand.” Bob Kelly was the only board member who spoke up for the proposal. “I think this is a very worthwhile investment to make,” he said. He quoted from the PPS website: “‘Many great plans get bogged down because they are too big, too expensive and simply take too long to happen.’” But interim Planning Director Don Craig, also a private developer, sided with the rest of the board. “I think it’s a use of funds that is not required,” Craig said. “It’s my recommen-

for the resort’s U.S. 1 corridor. The existing restaurants will be refurbished. And a new restaurant, Shula’s Burgers, owned by former Cincinnati Bengals coach David Shula, is scheduled to open in early fall. Holiday Isle also plans to unveil a new logo. The entire makeover, from the rooms to the logo, is designed to give Holiday Isle a look that is part retro and part fresh, Van Bergen said. It’s all in keeping with a renovation that is meant to evoke both continuity with the resort’s 60year history and modernity. “It’s an evolution of what Holiday Isle has been, not a revolution,” Van Bergen said. Buoyed by the late Joe Roth, its longtime managing partner known for his genius in promotion, Holiday Isle became one of the driving forces of the Islamorada economy in the 1980s and ’90s. Visitors, enticed by the resort’s oceanfront location and reputation for bacchanalia, traveled from around the region, and even the country, to party there. But by the 2000s, the resort was falling into disrepair. The bottom fell out midway through the decade when a developer purchased the property for $98 million and announced plans to demolish Holiday Isle and replace it with a pricey hotel-condominium resort. Ocanos, as it was to be called, wasn’t to be, however. The real estate market collapsed. The property fell into foreclosure. And investors at Connecticut-based Starwood Capital Group eventually took it over in 2009. Holiday Isle management

has been struggling ever since to get the message out that they didn’t close and don’t intend to. At the same time they’ve wrestled with how to promote the resort going forward. In interviews over the past few years, successive resort managers have touted plans to seek a more familyfriendly market and to phase out popular party events, most notably May’s annual Hospitality Expo. But now Van Bergen says the expo, previously known as the Bartender’s Bash, isn’t going anywhere. Other events, such as TJ’s Pimp & Ho Party, will also continue. But with the renovation, they’ll occur in a nicer, and more effectively managed, environment. “That’s our market,” Van Bergen said. This summer’s renovations aren’t the first phase in the Holiday Isle upgrade. Last year the resort repaired the roof of its World Famous Tiki Bar, upgraded balconies and portions of the marina and tore down the old Bimini Row of shops on the southeastern portion of the property. So far, they’ve spent $2 million, Van Bergen said. The work to be done over the next six months will be phased so the resort can remain open throughout the project. Van Bergen said he hopes the upgrades and attendant publicity will finally dispel any lingering misconceptions that Holiday Isle is going to close. When the work is complete, room rates will go up marginally, he added, but not a lot. “What’s going to finance the $8 million is the occupancy,” Van Bergen said. “I want more people here. That’s what the renovation is going to do.” [email protected]

ED BLOCK CHARLIE BRADFORD KEN DOMANSKI SHIRLEY FREEMAN TODD GERMAN

Unjust property tax system needs reform igid policies designed to protect homeowners statewide from rapidly inflating taxes are continuing to do their work in the housing recession. Owners of thousands of properties now owe nothing to help support local governments. ... State tax policy clearly needs an overhaul. The rules determining who owes how much have become far too complicated. If you live on your property, you are entitled to a homestead exemption worth up to $50,000. Half of that exemption doesn’t apply to school taxes and is phased in, so your property must be worth $75,000 to get the full exemption. The Save Our Homes tax cap also further lowers the taxable value of some homes, and it is portable, so buyers of identical properties on the same day can be treated very differently by the tax collector. It has become impossible to look at a house and guess its tax bill, even if you can guess its value. And guessing values, especially in less affluent neighborhoods, has also become harder. In some modest neighborhoods, the market value fell a shocking 50 percent in one year. ... Under the state’s tax policy, the people who can’t afford to buy a home, or have lost their home, pay much more in taxes through rents than do homeowners.

R

Editorial Property taxes are by their nature progressive and fair. The more valuable your property, the more you pay. But the gradual layering of proowner exemptions and tax caps to the structure has made a simple system increasingly obtuse and unjust. ... There are many possible reforms that would broaden the tax base and make it more equitable, especially to those who cannot afford to buy even a bargain-priced home. Forcing people into homes they cannot afford would be a bad mistake, but so is taxing them through their rents at many multiples of what owners pay to live in similar buildings. Even if property values rebound sharply, the Save Our Homes cap will keep tax revenues low for the foreseeable future. Many thousands of city and county property owners are paying $100 or less a year for their municipal services. If values fall, more and more people will pay nothing as property owners. It has become fashionable to push for lower taxes and ever-smaller government. But we don’t know anyone who wants less police protection, more potholes and second-rate schools. And that’s what the present system, without adjustment, will bring. — The Tampa Tribune

Letters to the editor Nonprofit fights human trafficking I am sure many of your readers were shocked by Nicholas Kristof’s article in Saturday’s Citizen (on your editorial page) about sexual “trafficking” in India, with girls as young as 9 forced into prostitution. Human trafficking is not confined to Third World countries. Recently, a missionary spoke to Glad Tidings Community Church about sexual trafficking in Belgium. Often, young women are enticed to the country by promises of a legitimate job and then forced into prostitution by threats that their parents would be killed if they resist. In at least one case, a girl’s father was killed as an example. And the problem even exists in the U.S. Last week, a couple was arrested in Broward County for running a brothel with underage females. Human trafficking is a $40 billion illegal enterprise, second only to drug trafficking. In March of 2007, a group of Key West churches of all denominations held a rally at the high school to draw public attention to the issue. The rally showed videos from several organizations involved in fighting this despicable practice — words are not adequate to describe the horror of young girls sold into sex slavery. One of the organizations we highlighted was the International Justice Mission (IJM), which uses

legal measures to prosecute traffickers and free their victims. Von Hoffman’s essay described the work of IJM in saving several young girls in India. For those who want to help, I’d encourage them to Internetsearch the IJM, whose work was also covered in a lengthy article in The New Yorker a year or two ago and on a story on “Dateline NBC.” Tim Gratz Key West

Angela Street not a good City Hall option Where is Harry Powell when you need him? It appears as though the resolve to move City Hall from Angela Street is wavering. What a shame! It occurs to me that City Hall, at its present location, is not unlike Peary Court was years ago. Once the decision is made and executed, we have to live with it for decades. Peary Court was one of the few open spaces that was thoroughly enjoyed by locals who used it for softball fields. No replacement was ever found and this important part of Key West life was lost forever. It had nothing to do with a need for housing but more the fact that “Coasties” don’t mix with Navy people. Key West lost. We are about to lose again. There are several locations where a perfectly adequate City Hall could be found. It could be at Glynn Archer, which has

many benefits, including saving a historic structure, parking, a central location and it is out of the congested downtown area. Or it could be where it is today at Habana Plaza. A cheap solution but obviously not the palatial offices that seem to be a way of life in this county. In fact, how about sharing space with the county? As the number of people it governs has shrunk, the amount of new office space has perversely increased. The Angela Street city complex needs to be torn down and converted to parking. We need this to enhance the downtown commercial district — and, yes, I’m a property owner. The revenue from parking fees, property taxes and employment would go a long way toward paying for a City Hall somewhere else. Please don’t politicize this important decision that will affect this community negatively for the rest of our lives. This is a once in a generation opportunity to create a legacy of good government. Take the high road and do the right thing. Chris Belland Key West

Championing of middle class is just a charade A recent letter (“How did GOP become anti-middle class?” on May 25) picks up anew the president’s quest for class warfare. The writer complains the Republicans stand in the way of

taking from the rich. Honestly, with the current leadership in the GOP, I don’t think Republicans could fight their way out of a wet paper sack. They seem quite content with business as usual in Washington that ensures their elite status regardless of party affiliation. And those who buck the system like [U.S. Sen. Jim] DeMint, [U.S. Rep. Paul] Ryan and [U.S. Rep.] Michele Bachmann must be shunned. But the championing of the middle class by the liberal socialists is a charade. The writer’s true goal is summed up in words like “pragmatism” (Saul Alinsky would be so proud!), “shared sacrifice” (of the “collective” I suppose), and “investment in the nation and its citizens” (socialism!). The group Saul Alinsky disliked the most was the middle class, because they are the most content with capitalism and providing for themselves. By the way, on the back cover of my copy of “Rules for Radicals” are the names Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. What is clear in the letter, and also similar to the president, is the writer’s dislike for our nation. Look at what he thinks of us: second-rate health care, Third World power grid and “antiquated” transportation. He needs to do some traveling. There’s a reason people are sneaking across our borders.

policies based on sexual orientation. Yet in most states in this country, including our own state of Florida, you can be fired from your job for simply being gay; our marriages are not recognized by our own government, our jobs are not secure, our loved ones shunned to the margins by a government hellbent on our alienation as a people. Just last week in Tennessee, overzealous Republicans in their legislature, elected on a promise of jobs, instead have turned their attention and vitriol on our community, reversing all laws that protect the LGBT community from discrimination and even outlawing the word “gay” in public education. The people of Tennessee should be ashamed! Yet Key West serves as a bastion of freedom for gay and lesbian people; a place with an openly gay police chief, county mayor, city commissioners, business leaders, Rotary presidents and openly

gay teachers in our schools. A place where drag queens raise money alongside a straight Republican city mayor and an openly gay county mayor with no fuss or fanfare — just being who we are and a beacon of hope for others. This is why Key West is a source of pride for me and should be a source of pride for each of us. Our way of life is one that Florida and our nation should embrace. After all, we prove every day that our One Human Family concept is not only viable but vital to our prosperity. Look around the state and you will see that our little island leads the way in hotel occupancy; our real estate market is beginning to recover while other Florida cities languish with thousands of vacant condos. Our unemployment rate is the lowest in the state and our crime is low compared to other cities. Yes, we can attribute some of this success to our special location, weather and architecture, but

I would propose that it is more than these accidents of destiny. I propose that our success is rooted in the fact that our community is a living example of those most American values — equality, fairness and opportunity for gay and lesbian people. Key West, be proud of who you are; the colors of the rainbow are bright here and we continue to live out our national motto, E pluribus unum — out of many, one. This is the promise of America, and Key West is proud to say that the promise of America is being fulfilled here. Let’s continue to show the world that gay and lesbian equality is not only possible but essential for our nation’s prosperity and future.

Shooter of friend gets life

Audubon director: Cuts hurt projects

Teen gets 55-year sentence

A South Florida woman has been sentenced to life in prison for killing her friend and pool cleaner. A Palm Beach County judge sentenced 47-year-old Marcia Rodrigues on Friday. She was convicted last month of first-degree murder. Rodrigues claimed Ildo Araujo raped her in November 2007 and told her that her ex-husband had hired him to kill her. She said she was able to break free and shoot him in self-defense. Prosecutors said her story was a fabrication. Defense attorneys claimed a combination of self-defense and insanity, but jurors sided with prosecutors.

The executive director of Audubon of Florida says the state will no longer be able to protect its natural resources under Gov. Rick Scott’s plan to cut the water management budget by 30 percent. Audubon’s Eric Draper said Friday at a public forum on water in Orlando that the state’s water management districts will have a tough time performing their jobs with the $218 million in cuts. But the new executive director of the South Florida Water Management District says she isn’t concerned since the districts will still be able to fund critical projects. Melissa Meeker says the cuts will come from shaving the salaries of top managers, eliminating inefficiencies and reducing employee benefits. The forum was sponsored by Associated Industries of Florida and the American Water Works Association.

A teenager who pleaded guilty to killing another teen at a Jacksonville party was sentenced to 55 years in prison. Circuit Judge Thomas Beverly imposed the sentence on 18-yearold Antonio D’Andre Kilpatrick Thursday. Kilpatrick pleaded guilty to second-degree murder charges on April 20. Officials say Kilpatrick shot 16year-old Kenneth Michael McCloud Jr. during a July 2010 sweet 16 party at Jacksonville International Airport’s Clarion hotel. About 50 people were at the party when the shooting occurred. Prosecutors had asked for a 60year sentence.

CSI testifies smelling decomposition in car

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BY KYLE HIGHTOWER The Associated Press

ORLANDO— A crime scene investigator testified Friday in the Florida murder trial of Casey Anthony that he smelled the odor of human decomposition when he first opened the door to examine her car just days after her initial July 2008 arrest. The prosecution questioned several sheriff investigators on the ninth day of the trial. They testified about the collection and examination of several items belonging to Anthony and her daughter Caylee following the child’s reported disappearance. Those items included Casey’s white Pontiac and toothbrushes, a comb and hairbrush that had been used by the 2-yearold. Hair and cheek cell samples that could be tested for DNA were also later taken from her mother. Anthony, 25, is charged with killing her toddler in the summer of 2008. She has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors say the child suffocated after duct tape was placed over her mouth. Caylee’s skeletal remains were discovered in a wooded area near her grandparents’ home in December 2008. Under cross-examination by the defense, Orange County CSI investigator Gerardo Bloise said that he only smelled an odor consistent with some type of decomposition while he examined Anthony’s car. Later, he got

more specific when prosecutors asked for his opinion of what type of decomposition it was, based on more than 20 years of experience in the field. “Professionally speaking, my opinion is that it was the smell of human decomposition,” he said. The testimony and introduction of evidence collected from Anthony’s car is a precursor to expert witness testimony regarding the contents of the car’s trunk that lead state attorney Linda Drane Burdick said she will begin today. The prosecution contends that Caylee’s decomposing remains were at some point inside the trunk of Anthony’s car and that her hair was found there. Earlier in the day, the state introduced three more videos of jailhouse visits Anthony had with her parents, George and Cindy Anthony. In the July 2008 recordings, Casey told her parents her “heart is aching” because she wanted to be home with them and Caylee. The state showed the series of jailhouse visit videos over the past two days to highlight how, following her initial arrest, Casey continued to perpetuate her original story about a nanny named “Zanny” kidnapping her child. That account changed suddenly at the start of her murder trial when her lawyer for the first time contended the child accidently drowned in the family’s pool. During an Aug. 14, 2008, visit with her parents, Casey told

When her mother asked how she liked the shirts, Casey Anthony asked her father to stand up and model it. During the visit, Casey Anthony complimented the family on their efforts to find Caylee, telling them to “keep the faith.” Anthony claimed the child had been missing for 31 days before police were called in mid-July 2008. “You are doing a great job, mom,” Casey Anthony said

during the visit. “I know it’s hard. I know better than anyone right now. You are doing so great.” She talked with her parents about believing that Caylee would come home. Once the child returns home, Casey Anthony told her mother, “I’m going to be the crazy, overprotective mom. I won’t let her out of my sight.” As they talked about Caylee, Casey Anthony told her mother: “She’s not just my little girl. I mean she’s my baby, but she will always be your baby and dad’s baby and (brother) Lee’s baby.” At another point, Casey told her father that the family would “all be back together” with her missing daughter. While watching the videos on Friday, Anthony could be seen at times with tears in her eyes.

ACLU sues to stop enforcement of new elections law BY BRENDAN FARRINGTON The Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE — Two groups that advocate for voter rights sued Republican Gov. Rick Scott on Friday to stop implementation of a new elections law that critics say was written to discourage voters likely to support Democrats. The lawsuit was filed in a Miami federal court by The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida and Project Vote on behalf of nine plaintiffs. It argues that the elections law changes must first be approved by the U.S. Department of Justice Department to ensure that they aren’t discriminatory before they can be implemented anywhere in the state. The law puts tighter restrictions on groups that conduct voter registration drives, requires voters who give a change of address at the polling place to cast a provisional ballot and reduces the number of early voting days. Critics say voter registration drives often seek to enroll minority voters, and that the provision against casting a regular ballot if there’s an address change will disproportionately affect lower

TALLAHASSEE — A spokesman for Gov. Rick Scott says his boss accepts responsibility for a staffer’s decision to oust protesters from his budget-signing ceremony. Brian Burgess said in a statement Friday that the Republican governor, though, did not make the decision nor was he aware of it. Sheriff’s deputies escorted about two dozen people from the signing in The Villages, a Central Florida retirement community, on May 26. Officials said it was a private

event. Burgess said there was confusion among event staff, including an employee of Scott Scott’s office, about whether it was public or private, although the public had been invited to attend. He said Scott has “received assurances from the employee, the employee’s supervisor, and his entire staff, that this confusion and the results it created will not happen again.”

Kevorkian dies at age 83

4 in US linked to E. coli outbreak

Girl killed in Ferris wheel fall

Jack Kevorkian, the audacious doctor who spurred on the national right-to-die debate with a homemade suicide machine that helped end the lives of dozens of ailing people, died Friday at a Detroit-area hospital after a brief illness. He was 83. Kevorkian died at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, where he had been hospitalized since last month with pneumonia and kidney problems, close friend and prominent attorney Mayer Morganroth said. The retired pathologist said he injected lethal drugs that helped some 130 people die during the 1990s.

Health officials now say four people in the U.S. may be linked to the food poisoning outbreak in Europe. All four were in northern Germany in May and officials are confident that they were infected with E. coli in that country. Three of them — two women and a man — are hospitalized with a kidney complication that has become a hallmark of the outbreak. Officials said Friday they are also checking two possible E. coli cases in U.S. military service members in Germany. The source of the outbreak hasn’t been pinpointed but salad vegetables are suspected. An official from the Food and Drug Administration says produce in the U.S. remains safe. The government has stepped up testing of imported food from Germany and Spain, but very little is imported from those countries.

An 11-year-old girl on a school field trip died Friday after falling about 100 feet from a moving Ferris wheel at New Jersey’s Wildwood boardwalk. The girl fell about 12:30 p.m. from the amusement park ride on a day heavily attended by schoolchildren. She was taken by helicopter to a nearby hospital, where she died, Capt. Lynn Frane of the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office said. The girl’s name and hometown were not released. Authorities initially said she was 17. The girl fell from the upper half of the ride while it was in motion, Wildwood Police Capt. Robert Regalbuto told The Press of Atlantic City. Regalbuto estimated she fell about 100 feet.

✬✬✬✬✬ HOUSTON — A West Point cadet is suing veteran R&B diva Patti LaBelle, saying she ordered her bodyguards to beat him up as he waited for a ride home outside a Houston airport terminal. The lawsuit alleges the cadet, Richard King, was waiting for his brother and father to pick him up outside one of the terminals at Bush

Intercontinental Airport on March 11, when three of LaBelle’s bodyguards attacked him. King was in Houston, LaBelle his hometown, while on spring break from West Point. “Apparently, defendant LaBelle believed King was standing too close to her (no doubt expensive) luggage, even though he was oblivious to her presence and the danger he was in,” according to King’s lawsuit, which was filed in Houston civil court on Wednesday and also names the bodyguards, the airport and a taxi dispatcher as codefendants. “LaBelle lowered the window of her limousine

and gave a command to her bodyguards. They sprang into action.” One of King’s lawyers, John Raley, said the alleged attacked resulted in a concussion and lingering dizziness and headaches for his client. The lawsuit is asking for unspecified damages. LaBelle’s publicist did not immediately return a telephone call Friday seeking comment. LaBelle’s singing career has spanned more than four decades and includes several hit records and two Grammy Awards.

Edwards pleads not guilty BY NEDRA PICKLER AND TOM BREEN The Associated Press

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Former presidential hopeful John Edwards pleaded not guilty Friday to federal charges that he solicited and secretly spent more than $925,000 to hide his mistress and their baby from the public at the height of his 2008 White House campaign. In a 30-second statement to dozens of reporters and television news cameras that surrounded him outside the courthouse, he said he never thought he was breaking the law. “There is no question that I have done wrong,” he said. “And I take full responsibility

for having done wrong. And I will regret for the rest of my life the pain and the harm that I have caused to others. But I did Edwards not break the law.” Edwards did not have to post bond, but he had to surrender his passport and is not allowed to leave the continental U.S. He also can’t have contact with one of the wealthy benefactors who gave him money that prosecutors say was used to hide the affair. The indictment contained six felony counts, including conspiracy, four counts of receiving illegal campaign contributions and one count of false state-

ments for keeping the spending off the campaign’s public finance reports. It said the payments made with money from two wealthy supporters were a scheme to protect Edwards’ presidential ambitions. “A centerpiece of Edwards’ candidacy was his public image as a devoted family man,” the indictment said. “Edwards knew that public revelation of the affair and the pregnancy would destroy his candidacy. Prosecutors said the spending was illegal because the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee should have reported it on public campaign finance filings and because it exceeded the $2,300 limit per person for campaign contributions.

Coast Guard installs woman in top post BY STEPHANIE REITZ The Associated Press

HARTFORD, Conn. — One of the earliest female graduates of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy returned Friday to take over its top spot, becoming the first woman selected to lead one of the nation’s five military service academies. Rear Adm. Sandra Stosz was installed as the academy’s 40th superintendent in a change-ofcommand ceremony Friday on the New London campus. She graduated from the academy in 1982, the third class to include female cadets. Stosz, a native of Takoma Park, Md., takes over at the Coast Guard Academy amid a push to draw more women and members of underrepresented minority groups into the cadet corps. This fall’s incoming class has the most cultural and ethnic diversity in the academy’s history. Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Robert J. Papp, who presided over Friday’s change-

of-command ceremony, said maintaining and expanding that diversity is key to the Coast Guard. “That’s the Stosz priority I am going to give her,” Papp said of Stosz. Stosz, 51, previously was the Coast Guard’s director of reserve and leadership and also commanded two cutters during her 12 years of experience at sea. They included an assignment as the first female commander

of a U.S. icebreaker, the 140foot Katmai Bay, in northern Michigan. Stosz was a high school discus and swimming standout and a top scholar in her graduating class when she enrolled at the Coast Guard Academy in 1978, two years after it began admitting women. She said her return more than 33 years after her graduation is a sign of how far women have come in the service. “We’ve come a long way and I’m proud to be a role model,” Stosz told The Associated Press on Thursday. “But this really is part of a natural progression.”

Court rules on Mapuche case

Home-built rocket over Baltic sea

Suicide bombers hit mosque

A ruling by Chile’s Supreme Court on Friday failed to persuade four Mapuche Indian activists to give up a long-running hunger strike against the government’s use of a tough antiterrorism law to crack down on their efforts to regain ancestral lands. The court downgraded some convictions from attempted murder to assault for the four convicted activists who attacked police and a prosecutor in 2008, but it then added robbery, court spokesman Nibaldo Segura said. The --+ were hoping to walk free, saying Chile’s use of the dictatorshipera law violated their due process, imposing harsher sentences than the underlying crimes would otherwise carry.

Two Danish space enthusiasts on Friday successfully launched a homemade unmanned 30-foot rocket over the Baltic Sea. Peter Madsen and Kristian von Bengtson used a barge near the Danish island of Bornholm as a launch pad for their 1.6 ton rocket, which flew some five miles high into the blue sky. “It was a fantastic flight,” Madsen said after the projectile took off at 1432 GMT following an earlier ignition failure. “The joy was huge. I looked back at the launch ramp and then I realized it had gone.” The team, which calls itself Copenhagen Suborbitals, watched the takeoff quietly and then suddenly burst into jubilation and started hugging each other. Their plan was for their 1.6 ton rocket to reach a height of 10 miles.

A suicide bomber attacked a mosque filled with Iraqi politicians and policemen Friday and another blew himself up inside the hospital where the wounded were taken, killing a total of 21 people in Saddam Hussein’s hometown. The twin attacks — as well as the fact that the bombers were able to infiltrate areas that were supposed to be secure — left people in Tikrit feeling under siege. It was the third major attack in Tikrit this year, reflecting the difficulties Iraqi security forces face in protecting their own people from Sunni insurgents still intent on undermining the country’s post-Saddam leaders, many of whom are Shiite.

House adopts resolution scolding Obama on Libya BY DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled House on Friday adopted a resolution rebuking President Barack Obama for dispatching U.S. military forces against Libya without congressional approval. The vote was 268-145, over White House objections. The resolution by Speaker John Boehner said the president has failed to provide a “compelling rationale” for the nearly three-month-old operation to aid rebels battling Moammar Gadhafi’s forces. During Friday’s debate, Democrats and Republicans complained that Obama ignored Congress’ constitutional authority to declare war. The nonbinding measure insists that Obama provide Congress with details on the scope of the mission and its costs within 14 days. It also bars U.S. ground forces except to rescue an American service member. Shortly after adopting the resolution, the House rejected a considerably tougher mea-

sure advanced by Rep. Dennis Kucinch that demanded an end to U.S. involvement in the NATO-led Boehner operation in Libya. The vote was 265-148. The GOP leadership hastily pulled together the Boehner resolution amid concerns in both parties that the Kucinich measure was gaining ground. The Senate had no plans to consider the measure, which would allow the U.S. to continue to remain engaged in the mission and would have no impact on the logistical and intelligence support the Americans have been providing. Boehner assailed the administration for failing to answer several questions about the operation. “Today’s debate on Libya is the first step and clearly there’s information that we want from the administration that we asked for in this resolution and it’s information that we expect to get,” the Ohio Republican told reporters.

SANAA, Yemen — President Ali Abdullah Saleh was wounded when rebellious tribesmen struck his palace with rockets Friday, targeting him for the first time in a dramatic escalation of fighting that has turned parts of the capital into a battleground and pushed Yemen toward civil war. One of the rockets smashed into a mosque on the palace grounds where the president was praying along with his top leadership. It was a stunning hit on the regime’s most senior figures: Among the nine wounded were the prime minister, Saleh’s powerful top security adviser and the two heads of parliament, as well as the cleric leading prayers. Seven guards were killed.

Officials said Saleh had only slight injuries — Deputy Information Minister Abdu al-Janadi spoke only of “scratches to his face.” But there were indications the injuries may have been more severe. Saleh, in his late 60s, was taken to a Defense Ministry hospital, while officials promised repeatedly that he would soon appear in public. But by late Friday, state TV had aired only an audio message from the president, with an old still photo. “If you are well, I am well,” Saleh said in the brief message, addressing Yemenis. He spoke in a labored voice, his breathing at times heavy. He blamed the rocket attack on “this armed gang of outlaws,” referring to the tribal fighters, and called on “all sons of the military around the country to confront” them. The bold assault directly on the presi-

Defiant Mladic calls genocide charges ‘obnoxious’ BY ARTHUR MAX The Associated Press

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Last seen as a swaggering general in the Bosnia war, Ratko Mladic needed help rising from his chair for war-crimes judges Friday, his limp right hand too weak to put on earphones without assistance. But as his arraignment proceeded, his old bluster returned as he called his indictment “obnoxious” and told judges he doesn’t want help walking “as if I were a blind man.” The capture and trial of the Bosnian Serb wartime commander on charges of genocide and war crimes committed during the 1992-95 Bosnian war closes the bloodiest chapter in European history since World War II and is nearly the final act of the Yugoslav tribunal, a court that launched a renewed era of international justice after the Nuremberg trials of Nazis war criminals. Together with his former political boss Radovan Karadzic, Mladic is accused of orchestrating the four-year war for Serbian domination in Bosnia that cost 100,000 lives and climaxed with the July 1995 massacre of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the U.N.-declared safe zone of Srebrenica.

MARTIN MEISSNER/The Associated Press

Bosnian women from Srebrenica who lost relatives in the massacre protest Friday during the initial appearance of former Bosnian Serb Gen. Ratko Mladic at the U.N.’s Yugoslav war crimes tribunal in The Hague. After 16 years on the run, the first clear glimpse the world got of the 69-year-old Mladic came after a curtain separating the public gallery and the courtroom was lifted Friday. Wearing a peaked cap,

he saluted the gallery with his left hand through bulletproof glass. Observers stood and strained to see Mladic, clearly thinner and weaker than when he led the Bosnian Serb army. Two U.N. guards helped Mladic to his feet when the judges entered the courtroom, and he saluted them as well. With his right arm apparently impaired, a guard had to help him put earphones over his head to hear the Serbian translation. When he responded to questions from the judge, his speech was slow and slightly slurred. Mladic declined to enter formal pleas to the 11-count indictment, but admitted no guilt. “I defended my country and my people,” he said, before presiding judge Alphons Orie cut him short. Mladic told the three-judge panel he is “a gravely ill man,” but he remained alert throughout the hearing, nodding or shaking his head as Orie spoke. He seemed confused as Orie read a summary of the 38-page indictment, and said he had been unable to read the thick file of legal documents he was given after being extradited from Serbia on Tuesday. “I would like to read these obnoxious charges leveled against me,” he said. “I need more than a month for these monstrous words. I have never heard such words.”

Protests grow in spite of attacks, Internet cut BY ZEINA KARAM The Associated Press

BEIRUT — A Syrian city that was bombed into submission three decades ago after a crushed uprising became a new center for protest and violence Friday, as activists said troops opened fire on a crowd of thousands and killed at least 34. Still, people nationwide poured into the streets in unprecedented numbers, defying the crackdown and a government chokehold on the Internet. One of the largest protests calling for the ouster of President Bashar Assad was in Hama, where Assad’s father killed thousands in 1982 and emerged to rule uncontested, the carnage seared into national memory. “It is a real massacre,” said a witness who took part in

Friday’s Hama protests and fled the gunfire. “People were running, shouting. We ran up to people’s homes and hid there until the gunfire died down,” he said. Friday’s protests appeared to be the biggest since the uprising began in mid-March, with people gathering in ever larger numbers in cities and towns across the country, said Rami Abdul-Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Protests also swept through several Damascus suburbs, as well as the capital’s central Midan neighborhood, which has seen demonstrations in recent weeks. The movement has been loosely organized on Facebook pages and increasingly inspired by footage of the crackdown on YouTube and other video sharing sites, but Friday’s Internet cuts appeared not to deter

Abdul-Rahman said the increase in protesters reflected the lack of trust in any government concessions, including a call for national dialogue. In Hama, the witness and activists said at least 100,000 people took part in the protest, making it one of the largest in the city since the start of the 11-week uprising. Thirty-four people were killed, said AbdulRahman. Rights groups say more than

1,100 people have been killed nationwide since mid-March. “Today’s protests are a reaction to the so-called overtures by the regime which has lost all credibility. It’s the people saying we will not accept this anymore,” said Najib al-Ghadban, a U.S.-based Syrian academic and political activist. Al-Ghadban said the Hama demonstration was especially significant, calling it “a qualitative leap that will encourage others to do the same.”

KEY WEST — Paul Findlay is no stranger to teaching summer tennis programs. Entering his 29th year of teaching Key West’s youth, the Bayview Park professional said he has seen several kids, including his own, turn into top-notch tennis players. “It‘s a good place to get kids started in tennis, in a summer program,” said Findlay. “Hopefully once they get a good kick-start, playing three times a week, it will get them going for a yearround thing. Most of the kids that start during the summer, we find, continue during the school year.” Findlay said the only major difference in the nearly three decades of teaching the program is the way he now runs the sessions. Along with his son, Yann, now a USTA professional and local tennis coach, Findlay said he has found getting the kids dedicated to playing tennis full time might be the hardest part of the sport. “Really we just want to get them interested in the game,” said Findlay. “We used to stress the technical a bit more, but nowadays they want the younger kids to learn though playing. So we have special equipment ... balls that move slower, smaller rackets, you lower the net and you make the court smaller.

“They are actually playing tournaments around the country like this. You don’t put a whole lot of emphasis on winning at this age; we really want to get them playing and to the point where they can sustain a rally, because that is really the hardest part when you are first learning.” Starting with kids as young as 5, Findlay said he splits the classes up into groups from novices to experienced competitive players who have been part of the program. With the assistance of his son, Findlay said the student divisions can be split even more. “We are just teaching it in a way that they learn the technique when they play, as opposed to learning it and then playing,” said Findlay. “Hopefully we can get them to a point where they can play with each other and that way we can start to break it down and teach them what they are doing and what they need to work on. “With the help of Yann we can cover a lot,” Findlay added. “He’s real good with the kids. He’s been helping me since he was 12, and now he’s a USTA certified professional, so it’s nice to have him here to help.” The less experienced players attend three times a week at 8:30 in the morning and the returning players twice a week in the evening, Findlay said. He can accommodate different schedules, though, he said. It’s $15 per session; for more information, contact Findlay at the

MIAMI — Ryan Braun’s pinch-hit two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-5 victory over the Florida Marlins on Friday night. Braun was held out of the starting lineup due to an ailing left shoulder, but was needed in the ninth with the Brewers down a run.

The Miami Heat’s display of jubilation midway through the fourth quarter Thursday angered the Dallas Mavericks, who then rallied from a 15-point deficit for a stunning victory in Game 2 of the NBA finals. The comeback evened the series at 1-all, with the next three games in Dallas, beginning Sunday. The Heat denied going overboard with enthu-

siasm when Wade sank a 3-pointer in front of the Mavericks bench for an 88-73 lead with 7:14 left. James and Wade even denied they celebrated. “A celebration is confetti, champagne bottles,” Wade said. “There was no celebration. It was a shot made going into a timeout. Every team does something.” See FINALS, page 4B

PARIS — Dusk was descending, wind was swirling and full-throated chants of “Ro-ger! Ro-ger!” from 15,000 or so fans finally were hushing as Roger Federer stepped to the baseline to serve — one point from returning to the French Open final and one point from ending Novak Djokovic’s 43match winning streak. Federer rocked back, unfurled his body and whipped an ace, his 18th Friday, to seal a 7-6 (5), 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (5) victory over Djokovic, then roared and wagged his right index

finger, as if telling the world, “I’m still No. 1!” So what if the official ranking says otherwise? This was Federer showing he’s still got what it takes. He’ll go for a 17th Grand Slam title, and second at Roland Garros, in Sunday’s final against longtime nemesis and five-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal, who eliminated Andy Novak Murray, 6-4, 7-5, 6-4, Djokovic to improve to 44-1 at

the clay-court major tournament. By summoning all of the strokes and resolve required to win a taut, tense contest with a lot on the line, Federer also managed to do what no one else had in quite some time: defeat Djokovic, who entered the day 41-0 in 2011 and unbeaten since losing to — guess who? — Federer in late November. “I wasn’t here to spoil the party,” said the third-seeded Federer, who completed a career Grand Slam by winning the 2009 French Open. “Almost feels, somewhat, like I’ve won the tournament, which is not CHRISTOPHE ENA/The Associated Press the case. Silverware is still out there Roger Federer gestures after defeating to be won, and I’m looking forward Novak Djokovic in a semifinal match to the match with Rafa.” on Friday at the French Open in Roland

SEC caps signees at 25, down from 28

Trucks Series to hit 400 in Kansas

Defending champ Augusta St. advances

Stricker a real ace at the Memorial

DESTIN — The Southeastern Conference has capped football signing classes at 25, a move coaches voted against and one school presidents hope will be adopted across college football. The powerful league, which will hand out an SEC-record $18.3 million in shared revenue to each of its 12 schools, had allowed up to 28 players to be signed annually. The SEC also voted Friday to eliminate divisions in men’s basketball.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Chris Showalter has been there for all 399 starts, all 399 checkered flags. Tonight at Kansas Speedway, he’ll be there when the green flag drops for the 400th NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. The truck chief for Travis Kvapil’s No. 5 Toyota is the only person to be involved in every race on the circuit over the last 16 years. Showalter says it has “been a very cool” to see the series evolve into a proving ground.

STILLWATER, Okla. — Defending champion Augusta State will face top-ranked Oklahoma State in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships semifinals in a rematch of the title match last year. Augusta State beat Georgia Tech, 3-2, on Friday, the Oklahoma State advanced with a 3-1-1 victory over Ohio State on the Cowboys’ home course at Karsten Creek Golf Club. Duke will play Georgia in the other semifinal.

DUBLIN, Ohio) — Steve Stricker had a hole-in-one on his 17th hole Friday in the Memorial to break out of a big pack and build a three-shot lead going into the weekend. Stricker hit a 6-iron from 188 yards on the eighth hole for the second ace of his career. The other one came in the Phoenix Open in 1997 and earned him a car. All this gave him was a three-shot lead, which could eventually be even more valuable.

Marlins’ Cousins speaks out about Posey injury

Roberts’ career high leads UVa; Gators, ’Canes win CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Will Roberts struck out a career-high 14 in a four-hitter, and Danny Hultzen drove in three runs to lead No. 1 national seed Virginia past Navy, 6-0, in the NCAA tournament Friday. Roberts (11-1) retired the last 17 batters — nine by strikeout — for Virginia (50-9). The junior right-hander, who pitched the eighth nine-inning perfect game in NCAA Division I history on March 29 against George Washington, walked none and improved to 18-1 in his career. The Cavaliers got a two-run triple from Hultzen — the possible No. 1 draft pick as a pitcher — in the first, RBI singles from Hultzen and Kenny Swab in the third and cruised. Ben Nelson (6-6) allowed six runs for Navy (33-24-1), in its first tournament since 2002.

GAINESVILLE REGIONAL FLORIDA 17, MANHATTAN 3 GAINESVILLE — Preston Tucker drove in five runs, Daniel Pigott knocked in three and Florida handled Manhattan. The Gators (46-16) scored 16 runs in the first three innings — all off Manhattan ace John Soldinger — and coasted the rest of the way. Florida, the No. 2 national seed, advanced to play Miami (37-12) in the winners’ bracket Saturday. Florida batted around in each of the first three innings, and Tucker did much of the damage. He had an RBI single in the first, a two-run homer in the second and another two-run shot in the third. His second one, his 12th of the season, cleared the scoreboard in right.

Karsten Whitson (8-0) allowed two hits in 3 1-3 innings for the victory. Soldinger (10-3) gave up 16 hits and 15 earned runs in two innings.

Steven Ewing (8-2) gave up one hit and one run in six innings for Miami. Matthew Tomshaw (84) allowed four hits and two earned runs in seven innings for Jacksonville.

Kilcrease (8-4), a senior right-hander appearing Clemson, S.C. in his fourth NCAA regional, pitched seven innings and walked four — one forcing in a run with the bases loaded in the fourth. The only other run he gave up was a homer by Ronnie Richardson in the seventh. Austen Smith led the Crimson Tide (34-26) with two RBIs, including a home run in the top of the seventh.

FLORIDA STATE 6, BETHUNE-COOKMAN 5 TALLAHASSEE — Mike McGee hit a tiebreaking single in the bottom of the eighth and Florida State beat Bethune-Cookman 6-5 in the Tallahassee Regional on Friday night. Parker Brunnelle and Sherman Johnson each drove in two runs for Florida State. Daniel Bennett pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for the save. Ryan Durrence hit two of Bethune-Cookman’s four home runs. Peter O’Brien and DJ Leonard also homered for Bethune-Cookman (36-24). Roman Lancana (1-1) gave up two singles

The third-seeded Pirates (34-23) scored all their runs in the fourth inning against the secondseeded Wildcats (36-20). Sean Gusrang started the inning with a double down the right-field line off of Kurt Heyer, and Dale Anderson and Giuseppe Papaccio each followed with singles, the latter scoring Gusrang from third. Anderson later scored on Will Walsh’s fielder’s choice. Prosinski (7-4), working in 101-degree heat, allowed only singles while striking out three and walking one.

CHAPEL HILL REGIONAL JAMES MADISON 11, FIU 7 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Jake Lowery homered and drove in three runs to lead James Madison past Florida International in the opening game of the Chapel Hill Regional. David Herbek finished with two RBIs and drove in the go-ahead run during a six-run seventh inning that put the third-seeded Dukes (41-17) ahead for good and extended the nation’s longest active winning streak to 10. Five players homered for second-seeded FIU (40-19-1): Garrett Wittels, Jabari Henry, Pablo Bermudez, Yoandy Barroso and Mike Martinez. The Panthers had lost only twice in their previous 23 games.

French Continued from page 1B

It’ll be their fifth meeting — and fourth final — in Paris since 2005. Nadal is 4-0 in those matches, part of his 16-8 overall lead head-to-head. A sixth French Open title would tie Nadal with Bjorn Borg for the most in history. “I don’t think about that,” said Nadal, who turned 25 Friday. “A lot of respect for the great Bjorn, but I ... focus on (trying) to play well. For me, is much more important win Roland Garros than equal Bjorn.” Djokovic is the only other player to have beaten Federer more than eight times, including a 3-0 mark this season before Friday. Long considered one of the top talents in tennis, Djokovic credited a handful of factors with helping him excel recently: more maturity; con-

fidence from helping Serbia win its first Davis Cup title in December; a gluten-free diet he now refuses to discuss in any detail. He won his second major title at the Australian Open in January and arrived in Paris as a co-favorite with Nadal, thanks in part to having beaten the Spaniard in two tournament finals on clay in May. “It had to end somewhere,” said the second-seeded Djokovic, who would have clinched the No. 1 ranking with a victory over Federer and will move up anyway if Nadal loses Sunday. “Best five months of my life, my tennis career. I cannot complain. It was definitely an incredible period.” Nadal’s victory over the fourth-seeded Murray was far more compelling and competitive than a typical straight-set sweep, yet still paled in comparison to what

CLEMSON, S.C. — Tommy La Stella homered twice and Hayes Orton went 5 for 5 with three RBIs for Coastal Carolina in a rout of Connecticut.

Federer and Djokovic produced later. Because NadalMurray lasted more than three hours — and because the tournament pushed back the start of the men’s semifinals from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. to accommodate TV — Federer and Djokovic didn’t set foot on Court Philippe Chatrier until early evening. It was nearly 6 p.m. when the first point was played, and the heavy gray clouds clustered overhead limited the light. By the end of the match, at 9:36 p.m., it was tough to see. Both men knew that if Djokovic managed to push their semifinal to a fifth set, play would have been suspended for the night and resumed today. Nevertheless, Federer and Djokovic produced riveting tennis, particularly in a 70-minute first set filled with lengthy exchanges, plenty of defense and terrific shotmaking.

MIAMI — Florida Marlins rookie Scott Cousins has been receiving death threats despite repeatedly apologizing for a collision with San Francisco Giants star Buster Posey. The collision at home plate during a game May 26 left Posey with a broken bone in his lower left leg and three torn ligaments in his ankle. He’s had surgery and is done for the season. Giants general manager Brian Sabean criticized Cousins on his weekly radio show on KNBR this week, calling the play malicious and unnecessary. Sabean also said that “if I never hear from Cousins again, or he doesn’t play another day in the big leagues, I think we’ll all be happy.” “He chose to be a hero, in my mind,” Sabean said. “If that’s his flash of fame, that’s as good as it’s going to get, pal. We’ll have a long memory.” Cousins issued a statement on Friday in which he again apologized for the collision. “I hope and believe that Mr. Sabean’s comments were made in the heat of the moment and are based more on his fondness for Buster Posey than on any animosity towards me,” Cousins said in the statement. “This situation is still an open wound for many, including myself. As I have stated previously, nobody outside of Buster feels worse about his injury than I do.” Cousins said he’s tried to contact Posey but has been unsuccessful. “I do believe, however, that the play was clean and totally within the rules of the game,” Cousins said. “Explaining over and over that I would never intentionally hurt another player for any reason won’t change the minds of those who doubt my sincerity or intent.”

Beginning on June 13, the Bayview tennis pro said he hopes to start with a set of new faces on the court mixed in with his returning players. “None of them become superstars right off the bat, but the thing with having all these different levels of players is that we are pretty flexible on who we can move up,” said Findlay. “If they are good enough, I’ll move them up.” [email protected]

Posey felt Cousins could have slid around him but also said it was a legal play. Marlins outfielder Logan Morrison came to Cousins’ defense during an interview Friday on Siruis/XM radio, calling Sabean “wildly unprofessional” for calling out his teammate. “When has he played in the big leagues? When has he played in the minor leagues?” Morrison said. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but he’s never been in a situation like that. It’s terrible. “Why would you wish anything like that on anybody?” Morrison continued. “He’s getting death threats from people. This is his hometown, San Francisco. He’s worried about his family and his friends that are there. And now (Sabean) is going to make comments like that? It’s ignorant, it’s inappropriate and he has no idea what the hell he’s talking about.” Florida manager Edwin Rodriguez said before Friday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers that he doesn’t have to defend his young outfielder because Cousins didn’t do anything wrong. “As a team we don’t have anything to say,” Rodriguez said. “If people want to keep talking about that, let them talk.” The Giants visit the Marlins for a three-game series in August.

Players urge appeals court to lift lockout The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — NFL players urged a federal appeals court Friday to declare the lockout illegal, saying the league had no right to impose a work stoppage that is now approaching three months with no sign of a deal that will save the 2011 season. In a courtroom packed with some 200 people, including out-of-work players and retirees on folding chairs brought in to handle the crowd, attorneys on both sides of the bitter labor fight got roughly 30 minutes each to make their cases. The appeal centers on the lockout that began hours after months of labor talks fell apart March 11, the players’ union dissolved and the fight ended up in federal court. The NFL

contends the union decertification was a sham meant to gain leverage in the talks and the conflict remains subject to labor law. The players argue that antitrust laws apply and the lockout put in place under labor law needs to be put on hold, as it was in April by U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson in Minnesota. “We’re asking for a preliminary injunction for a short period of time,” the players’ counsel, Theodore Olson, said in the hushed courtroom. “We’re simply asking that the laws of the U.S. be respected.” The arguments came before a threejudge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals whose two earlier 21 decisions have sided with the league and upheld the lockout. The panel took the arguments under advise-

ment with one judge, Kermit Bye, saying only that a ruling would come in “due course” and he suggested the two sides figure things out. “We wouldn’t be all that hurt if you go out and settle that case,” Bye said with a smile as he closed the 68-minute hearing. “We will keep with our business, and if that ends up with a decision, it’s probably something both sides aren’t going to like.” The league is starting to see the effects of the lockout, with furloughs and other recent moneysaving steps. Training camps traditionally start in late July and the first preseason game is little more than two months away. The hearing has been seen as pivotal in the dispute over how to share the NFL’s $9 billion in annual revenue, and the turnout included NFL Players Association leader DeMaurice Smith

and two dozen players, including Green Bay’s Cullen Jenkins, the Jets’ Tony Richardson and Giants standout Osi Umenyiora. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell spent Friday in Fort Bragg, N.C., a league spokesman tweeting that Goodell isn’t a lawyer and “wouldn’t have added much to the legal proceedings.” Jets owner Woody Johnson was at the hearing. Paul Clement, an attorney representing the NFL, waved off a reporter’s question about whether the NFL had the upper hand. “As we tried to make clear in there, we think the lockout is actually the best way to get players back on the field,” said Clement, who like Olson is a former U.S. solicitor general. “I think people understand that this will be resolved; the resolution will include a

Shaq moving on again to next chapter — retirement The Associated Press

WINDERMERE — Shaquille O’Neal walked up the stairs to the makeshift stage in his home gymnasium, pulled out a few index cards with some notes and said the words he never thought were coming. Good-bye. O’Neal made his retirement official Friday, reiterating what he revealed in a video posted to Twitter two days earlier that his NBA playing days are over. Saying those words made his pro career fullcircle, since it all ended at his home in a suburb of Orlando, the city where his pro days began when the Magic made him the No. 1 pick in 1992. “Never thought this day would come,” O’Neal said. “Father Time has finally caught up with Shaquille O’Neal.” He insisted he will not return, either, nor will he coach anyone but his three sons. His career ends with 28,596 points, 13,099 rebounds, 15 All-Star selections, four championships and three NBA finals MVP awards. “I’m the luckiest guy in the world,” O’Neal said. For a finale, it was in a fitting place. O’Neal made his retirement official in a suburb of Orlando, the city where his NBA career began when the Magic drafted him No. 1 overall in 1992. He bought the home in 1993, and it’s remained his base ever since — even after he left Orlando for Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix, Cleveland and Boston throughout the remainder of his NBA career. Many hallways in the 29,000-squarefoot complex are lined with jerseys, from Garnett to Gretzky, football players, NBA friends, NBA rivals, even baseball players. The doorways are enormous, as one would expect when the primary occupant of the home is over 7 feet tall. Guests were ushered in across a red carpet laid out over his meticulous garage, which held luxury cars and motorcycles. Family and close friends gathered in the massive kitchen while the gymnasium filled for a celebration that was tinged for many with sadness nonetheless.

Heat Continued from page 1B

Said James: “As far as celebration, that word has been used with us all year. But we knew how much time was left in the game still.” The Heat’s superstar trio of James, Wade and Chris Bosh heard plenty of criticism when they took center stage in an arena spectacle last July after forming their partnership. And when Miami eliminated Chicago in the Eastern Conference finals, the Bulls’ Joakim Noah said the Heat were “Hollywood as hell.” But Thursday’s Hollywood ending was not what the Heat had in mind, and such a dramatic finish seemed improbable when Wade’s 3-pointer gave the Heat their biggest lead midway through the fourth period.

collective bargaining agreement. And the fastest way to get there is to get the antitrust laws, which were just a misfit in this context, out of the picture.” Judges Steven Colloton and Duane Benton wrote for the majority then that “the league has made a strong showing that it is likely to succeed on the merits.” Bye dissented both times, favoring the players. “Ultimately, collective bargaining is a much better way to resolve these disputes than antitrust litigation,” Clement said.

NHL: STANLEY CUP FINALS

Canucks, Bruins show creativity can win Cup BY GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press

JOHN RAOUX /The Associated Press

Shaquille O’Neal announces his retirement from the NBA at his home in Windermere on Friday. On the wall behind him are his jerseys from the Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

BY TIM REYNOLDS

Tom Brady Patriots quarterback

The “Last Center Left,” as Shaq once famously dubbed himself, has left the NBA. “This is a bittersweet day on behalf of the family,” said O’Neal’s mother, Lucille Harrison. “It’s been 19 years, but the 19 years have gone by so quick.” Many of the people closest to O’Neal were in attendance, including his college coach, LSU’s Dale Brown. He told a slew of Shaq stories, including the time when the then-high-schooler asked permission to eat the peanuts in a hotel minibar — while other prep players he was with at the time were swiping liquor. Brown lauded the work O’Neal’s parents turned in, even chiding the college scandals of today by pointing out that when he went through the LSU recruiting process, there was no shady deals, no under-thetable anything. “This just didn’t happen,” Brown said. “The other thing that’s very obvious to me is that this should be a beacon, a beacon light for all young people watching this.” O’Neal thanked his parents, thanked his children for putting up “with Daddy’s schedule,” even thanked NBA Commissioner David Stern for what he’s done leading the league. His immediate future is uncertain. He’ll likely work in television soon, but his health comes first. Injuries derailed him mightily this season with the Celtics, and if his injured Achilles’ doesn’t improve soon, surgery may be an option. “I’ve got to get that right,” O’Neal said, “before I go into the next chapter.” He changed the game with his combination of size, strength and athleticism, bringing down baskets with his powerful dunks. He thought nothing of spending huge sums of money — $650,000 one year in Miami — to play Shaq-a-Claus for underprivileged kids at Christmas. And his quotes are the stuff of legend, ranging from his playful insistence to be called “The Big Aristotle” to saying at his Miami

As the Mavs called timeout, Wade held his follow-through pose and teammates raised their fists. Wade and James swapped jubilant gestures all the way to the Heat bench, while the Mavericks stewed. “It angered a lot of us,” Dallas’ Tyson Chandler said. “It’s upsetting when you’re out there playing hard and someone celebrates right in front of your bench.” The tide quickly turned. The Heat missed their next nine shots, while Mavericks made 9 of their last 10. The game’s final points came on a driving layup by Dirk Nowitzki with 3.6 seconds left for a 95-93 victory. “Obviously this one hurts,” Wade said. “We’ve got two days to think about our mistakes and blowing a 15-point lead. So we made it a lot harder on ourselves. We’re going to see what we’re made of as a team.”

signing party that he was like “toilet paper and toothpaste ... I’m proven to be good.” There was another side of O’Neal as well, of course. He clashed at times with Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson when they were together with the Los Angeles Lakers. When he left the Heat, the relationship between him and the team had eroded badly, almost forcing Miami’s hand into trading him to Phoenix. But for the most part, those who played with him have great appreciation for him. “A living legend,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. O’Neal said he leaves with some regrets, foremost among them not being able to reach 30,000 points, and blaming that on his inability to make free throws. When it comes to the NBA, that’s the only thing he won’t miss any more — those 15-footers that he struggled with his entire career. Even at home, even with everyone in the room knowing what he was going to say, O’Neal confessed that he was anxious. His mother pointed that out as well. “I was nervous, Momma,” O’Neal said. “I’m sorry.” Everyone laughed, as they did several times throughout the ceremony. He joked that the New York Knicks were calling for an interview. He cited his work in “awardwinning movies, such as Kazaam.” He turned serious at times, too, thanking coaches like Phil Jackson and Doc Rivers, and proudly saying that his doctorate will be completed by January. He’ll then be called Dr. O’Neal. Good thing, because all his famous nicknames — Shaq-Fu, The Big Aristotle, Diesel and especially Superman — are now retired along with him, he said. Henceforth, he’ll call himself The Big AARP. He was asked toward the end of the ceremony what advice he would give to players today. “Be leaders,” O’Neal said, “and not followers.”

There have been doubts all season about the Heat’s ability to close. During the regular season they went 5-14 in games decided by five points or less, but during the playoffs they had been at their best in the fourth quarter — until Thursday. The Miami meltdown left second-guessers with plenty of fodder to fill the next two days. Why didn’t Bosh foul Nowitzki on the Mavs’ final play? Why was Bosh even the one guarding Nowitzki? Why didn’t Wade get the ball more at the end after scoring 36 points in the first 41 minutes? Why didn’t the Heat have a timeout left to set up a final play? Wade conceded the Heat should have grabbed Nowitzki before he launched his last shot. “Just a mental breakdown,” he said. Bosh said he was guilty of bad defense on Nowitzki.

“He gave me a quick move,” Bosh said. “At that point I didn’t feel that I had leverage for the foul, because he was going into a shooting motion.” Nowitzki, who needed 22 shots to score 24 points, went against Udonis Haslem much of the night. Coach Erik Spoelstra conceded he could have given Haslem the assignment again on the Mavs’ final possession. “That’s a tough one,” Spoelstra said. “I know U.D. probably is really wishing he had that opportunity.” But nothing could stem the Heat’s collapse. “When it started to slide, it just kept on going,” Spoelstra said. “But we’ve been a very resilient group all season long. We’ve been tested. We’ve had our moments where we feel uncomfortable and feel like our backs are against the wall. That’s when we’ve responded and been our best.”

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — When Daniel and Henrik Sedin streak down the ice, exchanging crisp passes in a display of their jaw-dropping offensive creativity, it’s easy to forget the Vancouver Canucks were the NHL’s best defensive team this season. When Boston’s top line presses the attack, changes styles on the fly and comes up with yet another clutch postseason goal, it’s tough to remember the Bruins are nearly as defensively stingy as the Canucks. The Stanley Cup finalists are reminding the entire NHL that elite defensive teams don’t have to fall into the trap — or any other defensive scheme that results in boring hockey. Defense can also be a natural outgrowth of a commitment to goal-scoring, Canucks captain Henrik Sedin said. “Who says you have to do one or the other?” he asked. In Game 2 tonight, the Canucks will continue their quest to show it’s possible to win a title without retreating into a defensive shell, while Boston will look to build on a quietly impressive offensive season — except for that slumping power play — for a club without a bigname scorer. Both teams proved their approaches work in the series opener. Vancouver’s 1-0 victory was hardly a boring defensive game, with 12 power plays, numerous tantalizing scoring chances and an edgeof-the-seat intensity before Raffi Torres’ winning goal in the final minute. “Even when we’re not getting rewarded, we’re out there taking chances and trying to find ways to be aggressive and score,” Boston forward Milan Lucic said. “We’re not a team that’s usually going to sit back and wait and hide. We try to make things happen.” Vancouver scored more goals (3.15 per game) and allowed fewer (2.2) than any team in the NHL during the

Bruins goalie Tim Thomas makes a save as Canucks left wing Alex Burrows looks for the rebound in the third period during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday in Vancouver, British Columbia. Game 2 is tonight. regular season, while Boston was fifth in goals and second in defense, giving up just 2.3 goals per game. Even after managing just one goal in their last two playoff games combined, the Bruins are outscoring Vancouver in the postseason with 3.05 goals per game, compared to the Canucks’ 2.68. And they’ve done it without the trap, which turned off many casual hockey fans for life when New Jersey, Dallas and other clubs had extensive success with thoroughly boring play in the 1990s. The scheme still shows up in the NHL in various disguises, such as Tampa Bay’s 1-3-1 formation this season, yet it’s no longer considered a necessity for winning. “We’ve tried to play the right way all year long, which is having a good balance between good team defense and good team offense when it’s time to go on the attack, when it’s appropriate,” Vigneault said. Boston doesn’t share the Canucks’ overall aggression, and the Bruins can fall into a defensive shell when necessary. They didn’t have a scorer in the NHL’s top 25 during the regular season, but their top line is emerging as one of the best in hockey during the postseason.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 2011

HOROSCOPES for today

Saturday, June 4, 2011 Your competitiveness is likely to be accentuated in the year ahead, whether it is applied toward social or business endeavors. Once you know what you want, you’ll find the way to make things happen as you envision. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -The company you keep will influence your attitude and outlook in a big way. You’ll be surprised at the people who wear their welcome the best. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -If you find yourself in a competitive game of one-upsmanship, accentuate your humility instead of your ego and you’ll come out way ahead of your challenger LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your awareness of the subtler aspects of the conditions under which you work will increase your effectiveness. What you accomplish

will stand the test of time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Financial conditions look encouraging, mostly because you won’t be indifferent to the profitable circumstances surrounding you. You’ll utilize everything at your disposal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Your judgment is likely to be much keener and wiser than that of those with whom you associate, so when it comes to anything important, stick by your guns. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Because you won’t treat any of your responsibilities or obligations lightly, those who work at your side will abide by your example and handle their duties as well as they can. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Socializing could turn out to be not only an excellent source of relaxation and amusement, but also produce some useful information as well. Be attentive to what’s being said. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you want to get into the action on a new endeavor, timing

will be a critical factor. You must know when it’s right to quit shillyshallying and take action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It behooves you to ask as many questions as you need in order to understand something important about your future that’s being explained to you. Seeking clarification is not only smart, it’s essential. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Try to do something different if you can, and leave plenty of room for spontaneity. It won’t hurt to start out in one direction but end up doing something entirely unplanned. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’ll be surprised at who possesses the information you’re looking for, so don’t show indifference to anybody, even the low man on the totem pole. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It might surprise you as to how much you are able to accomplish. Don’t put any limitations on your plans; just keep plugging ahead until you run out of time or energy.

Wrong call and wrong play By Phillip Alder Lady Dorothy Nevill, an English writer and horticulturist who died in 1913, said, “The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.” The art of bridge is making the right call or play at the right moment. Look at the North hand in today’s diagram. West opens one club. What would you do? Get those five-card majors into the auction -- overcall one heart. Do not (as chosen at the table) make a takeout double. If the diamond six were a low spade, many experts would then double,

but that would still risk missing a 5-3 heart fit. (However, yes, a one-heart overcall would make it harder to find a 4-4 spade fit. You need to guess the right call at the right time!) Two hearts is easy to make, declarer losing two top spades, a spade ruff, the heart ace and the club ace. But when North doubled, East raised to two clubs, and South advanced with two spades, which was passed out. (Yes, West erred also. Knowing of at least a nine-card club fit and aware that East must be short in spades, he should have rebid three clubs, which could have been made with an overtrick.) Against two spades, West led the heart seven. East won with his ace and returned the suit. Now declarer should have played a club. Then defeating the contract would

have required careful defense. At the table, though, South led a trump. West defended well by ducking the trick. Declarer now played dummy’s heart queen, but West ruffed, cashed his top trumps, and shifted to clubs for down two.

INSECURE MIDDLE-SCHOOLER IS HER OWN HARSHEST CRITIC

DEAR ABBY: I’m in middle school. I have had a few boyfriends since I started here. I try my best to look OK each day, but I always find a flaw in the way I look or act. Sometimes I find it hard to trust guys when they tell me I’m pretty. I have low self-esteem, so it’s hard for me to believe them. Can you please help me learn to trust people and be comfortable with my body? -- AWKWARD IN OGDEN, UTAH DEAR AWKWARD: If it’s any comfort, 99 percent of girls your age feel the same way you do. Your body is still a work in progress because you’re not finished developing yet. Believe it or not, no one is as preoccupied with your looks and perceived “flaws” as YOU are, so please try to be a little kinder to yourself and less critical. There is truth to the old saying, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” By that I mean -- if people tell you you’re attractive, that is the way you appear to them. So just smile and say, “Thank you for saying that.” Accept the compliment, but don’t rely on it to gauge your self-worth. Concentrate on developing your personality and your mind, and you’ll be on a path to success in everything you do. DEAR ABBY: My son is in the process of being divorced from his wife after only four short years. Before they married, I gave him an engagement ring and wedding band that had been in our family for years. Now that they are divorcing, I’d like to have him get the rings back. Is this an acceptable request? -HURTING MOTHER IN NEW YORK DEAR HURTING MOTHER: Engagement rings and wedding rings are gifts that are given with the promise of marriage. The heirloom rings are

now the property of your soon-to-beex-daughter-in-law. Depending upon your relationship with her, you could ask for them back or offer to buy them from her. She may be more receptive to the offer if she hears it from you rather than your son. However, they are hers to keep or dispose of as she wishes. DEAR ABBY: My husband lost his job in November. Since the holidays, none of our friends has asked us to go out again. I don’t know if they feel bad about talking about their work or if they think we can’t afford it, but I’m really lonely. We’ve invited friends a few times, but I get weary of making all the effort. A night out laughing with friends would be nice; so would being remembered. What should we do? -LONELY HEART CLUB DEAR LONELY: Your friends may be uncomfortable for the reasons you mentioned, or feel guilty because they are not experiencing the struggle that you are. Of course, the answer is to keep reaching out. But I will add this: The time for people to step forward and be supportive is when someone they care about NEEDS it. That’s what true friendship is all about. And with the rate of unemployment in this country what it is today -- “do unto others ...” DEAR ABBY: What is the protocol when someone is asking to see his mother’s will while she is still in good health? -- PONDERING IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR PONDERING: The two most difficult subjects to discuss are death and money, both of which come into play when the topic of wills comes up. A wise and compassionate parent will discuss this with her (or his) children so there won’t be any surprises when the eventual happens.
