Coralsoften respond to stress by expellingthe colorful algae that livewithin their otherwise clear tissues.It’s called “bleaching”because it reveals the stark-whitecoral skeleton. Bleaching is amajor contributor to the declineof reefs worldwide.ISLAMORADAPhoto courtesy of Donna HeinerThe Keys CommunityConcert Band’s annual‘Tropical Christmas’performance will beat 4 p.m. Dec. 17 atthe amphitheater inFounders Park, MileMarker 87.

Villalobos, 30,of Marathon, has been held without bail inthe Monroe County Detention Center on StockIsland since the Nov. 28, 2009, crash.The estates of both Jennings and Mangrumare asking for medical and funeral expenses, aswell as damages for the loss of support and services,according to the lawsuits.Marathon-based attorney James Dorl is representingboth plaintiffs in the lawsuits. He did notreturn two phone messages seeking comment.Jennings, 33, and his girlfriend, Mangrum,42, who was moving to the Keys from Wyoming,died from injuries received when Villalobosswerved into oncoming traffic and hit a southboundcar that, in turn, hit the car behind it,which Mangrum was driving, according to accidentreports.Villalobos’ vehicle went airborne and flippedend over end before coming to rest, accordingto the Florida Highway Patrol report. Mangrum,who had four children and owned a hair salonin Lusk, Wyo., died at the scene. Jennings, whoworked at Annette’s Lobster & Steak House, diedDec. 3, 2009, at Ryder Trauma Center in Miami.Three other Marathon residents injured in thecrash were taken to Fishermen’s CommunityHospital: Villalobos’ passenger, Yendel N.Garcia; Mercedes Diaz, who was driving the carVillalobos hit, and her passenger, Jordi Torna.alinhardt@keysnews.comTrapsContinued from Page 1Asive. It serves no biological purpose,but will place a significant financialburden on fishermen.”Colored line would do nothing toprevent entanglements with turtles,fish and marine mammals; it wouldonly assess blame, Kelly said. The regulators’own studies have found thatonly two sawfish and 10 turtles, eightof which were successfully released,have been entangled in trap line, Kellysaid. Also, only 7.3 meters of coralhave been injured from trap lines,according to the studies.Colored line — specifically blue,green and pink rope — actuallyattracts turtles, Kelly said.The proposal may come back in thefuture, Kelly said.The proposal is part of Amendment11, a federal spiny lobster fisherymanagement plan that also calls forbanning traps in several areas becauseof concerns about impacts to elkhornand staghorn coral colonies.Kelly and both Keys scientists andcommercial fishermen have also questionedthe National Marine FisheriesService fishery managers’ map thatdetermines where the closed areasfor coral protection will be. Kelly andother commercial fishermen havebeen working with the Florida KeysNational Marine Sanctuary, NationalMarine Fishery Services and representativeswith fishery managementcouncils to come up with alternativesto the closed areas.Amendment 11 sets up 52 closedareas off South Florida where trappingwould be prohibited. Kelly andother Keys commercial fishermenhave questioned the size and locationof the zones and the qualityof the coral in the zones. Kelly saidsome maps show healthy elkhornand staghorn in areas where thereis just rubble, where the coral waskilled two years ago by winter coldsnaps. The proposed closed areasalso don’t take into account FloridaKeys coral conservationist KenNedimyer’s coral nursery and otherareas where healthy coral is found,Kelly said.He argued that commercial fishermendepend on healthy coral populations,so they, too, want to protectcoral colonies. Kelly and others havecome up with their own proposal theyclaim is more accurate and sets asidemore areas. Their plan calls for 56areas to be set aside and includes thecoral nurseries and other areas thatneed protection, Kelly said. He hasbeen successful so far in lobbying thefishery management councils to goalong with their plan.The councils will hold public hearingson Amendment 11 in Januaryand February.tohara@keysnews.comSquadronContinued from Page 1Arons, including NAS Key West’sFighter Composite Squadron111 (VFC-111), also known asthe Sundowners.Pilots from the TacticalSupport Wing, headquarteredin Fort Worth, Texas,flew 324 combat missionsClimateContinued from Page 1Apercent of its emergency sheltershave properties at elevationsthat would be below sealevel under a rise of 1 foot,according to the plan.Aside from rising seas, climatechange is believed toalso exacerbate the frequencyof extreme weather events,including droughts and coldfronts, which in turn imperilwater supply, fish and cashcrops.The 102 recommendationsput forth in the SoutheastFlorida Regional Action Plandeal with everything fromtransportation to water delivery,and protecting wildlifehabitat to public outreach.All the recommendations aresuggested for implementationwithin a five-year period.Some, such as the recommendationthat South Floridagovernments advocate forfull funding and implementationof the ComprehensiveEverglades Restoration Plan,are likely to strike the publicas routine.and dropped 250,000 poundsof bombs during OperationIraqi Freedom.

4A THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2011EDITORIAL BOARDPAUL A. CLARIN/PUBLISHERTOM TUELL/EDITORRALPH MORROW/SPORTS EDITOROPINIONED BLOCKCHARLIE BRADFORDKEN DOMANSKISHIRLEY FREEMANTODD GERMANFamilies hit hard bygrowing homelessnessIn a network newsshow last Sunday, “60Minutes” presentedviewers with “Hard TimesGeneration: Families livingin cars,” a real-life, heartrendingportrait of homelessness.The segment focused on15 Florida children who,with their parents’ permission,described their experienceswith homelessness inSeminole County.When CBS correspondentScott Pelley reported fromthe county — northeast ofOrlando — eight monthsago, the homeless familieswere living in cheap hotels,thanks to donations fromrelief agencies.But, during his mostrecent visit, Pelley foundthe children living in cars ortrucks.In one particularly poignantpart of the show,Pelley interviewed a15-year-old girl and her13-year-old brother. Theirmother died when theywere tots. Their father,a carpenter, has beenunemployed since housingconstruction tanked. Afterthe family lost its homein foreclosure, the fatherpurchased an old, oversizedwork truck that has servedas “home” for five months.Unfortunately, their storywas not a made-for-TVmoment.Three days later,[Sarasota] Herald-Tribunecorrespondent ElizabethSims told the story of aworking mother and herfour daughters, ages 8 to13, who previously hadbeen evicted from theirhome in Bradenton. Afterthe eviction, they spentnearly a month living in alate-model, two-door smallcar parked in supermarketand convenience-storelots.Fortunately, the familywas rescued from homelessnesswhen Family Promise,a local interfaith organizationthat received fundsfrom the Season of Sharingprogram, intervened to provideshelter and aid. Now,months later, the motherhas a job and money to renta modest home in Sarasota.EditorialSuch stories of compassionand resilience offerhope.But, as the “60 Minutes”segment and a recentHerald-Tribune article byDoug Sword showed, thetrying conditions underlyinghomelessness, especiallyamong families, havepersisted despite the officialend of the Great Recession....Never has unemploymentbeen so high for so long,as “60 Minutes” reported.Local social-service workerstell us that the long-termimpacts of joblessness continueto send substantialnumbers of families intohomelessness or to thebrink of peril.Children have been hitparticularly hard by the lingeringeffects of the recession:Nearly 25 percent ofyouths nationwide live inpoverty.An economic recoverythat generates job growth— in all economic sectors— would go a long waytoward easing the crisis.That said, homelessnessis likely to persist: TheHomeless Research Instituteprojects that the percentageof homeless Americans 65and older will increase by 33percent by 2020 and morethan double by 2050.In the meantime, levelsof public assistance shouldbe held steady — ratherthan decreased. Proposed25 percent decreases infederal-state CommunityDevelopment Block Grants,a key funding source for theprevention of homelessness,are unacceptable. Fundingof Florida’s SadowskiAffordable Housing Actshould be restored.Private aid must increaseto fill persistent gaps.Locally, faith-based andsecular charities give generouslybut, in this era, thosecontributions fall short.Community-based effortsmust also expand and, justas important, become evenmore efficient. ...— The SarasotaHerald-TribuneNothing like a paradeto kindle holiday spiritThe Fantasy Fest parademight be spectacular and havethe most viewers, but nothingis more special than theChristmas parade in Key West,a parade by and for our localresidents. Fifteen years afterpolitics changed the paradeinto the wonderful, cooperativeeffort that it is today, ourKey West Christmas parade isstill an event that everyone onthis island looks forward to,whether you’re in the paradeor catching candy as a spectator.I have spent years on thesidelines, enjoying it with mychild. Now that he’s grown andin college, I had the privilegeof riding on a float for the KeyWest Moose Lodge this yearand of seeing the wonderfulsmiling faces of our Key Westchildren and adults along theparade route. Nothing can getyou into the spirit of Christmasfaster than participating in orenjoying the parade.I just want to thank everyonewho helped organize this year’sparade, from the parade chairman,to our city governmentto our Police Department, whokept things safe and movingjust right. Thanks also go toeveryone who participated.The spirit of Christmas isalive and well in Key West! Let’sLetters to the editorall enjoy the season.Laurine LaxerKey WestVehicle-free Duval isidea worth revisitingWith the report lastweek of the Department ofTransportation’s 2011 HighwaySafety Matrix, I’m going tomake the same suggestion Imade a few years ago when Istill lived in Key West, insteadof just visiting when I’m able.Perhaps now it is worthlooking at the all-pedestrian/non-motorized vehicle areaof Miami Beach, known asLincoln Mall, or the streetsclosed to motorized vehiclesin St. Augustine, among othercities that are beginning to seethat pedestrian and bicycletraffic should not be mixedwith motorized vehicle trafficin highly congested areas.Duval Street has been toocongested and unsafe sincethe 1980s, if not before. To dothe right thing for the environmentand ride a two- orthree-wheeled bike on Duval,the only place on the island— without a bike lane — that abiker cannot ride on the sidewalks,is to risk one’s life.I came close to it more thanonce, despite riding way overinto the slant of the gutter,because vehicles would notgive me the 3 feet required bylaw. And, most of the time, thatwas because with oncomingvehicle traffic, the vehiclesgoing my direction did nothave 3 feet to spare.If the city does not want tomake Duval a pedestrian/bikestreet, which would make itmore attractive to shoppers,as well, then make Duval,Simonton and Whitehead onewaystreets with wide bikepaths.Please, I ask the City Commissionand the Key WestPolice Department to take aserious look at this situationand change it before there ismore loss of life and injury to apedestrian or bike rider.Peggy ButlerWest Palm BeachWhere is the refund for14 years of overcharges?When the announcementwas made that the sewerauthority would charge $8.10per 1,000 gallons of water goingthrough my meter, I checkedon the cost of a second meterfor my irrigation, pool, dockand outside water. I asked whatwas my consumption to see ifthere would be a cost savingsover time.I was amazed to hear my wifeand I use 20,000-plus gallonsa month. There is no way wecan use that amount of water,so I asked for an inspection.The Florida Keys AqueductAuthority found no leaks of anykind. After much pleading, anew meter was installed in May2010. My April use was 23,000and May dropped to 2,400 gallons.Bad meter. I asked to havethe old meter checked, andafter several months the testwas made. The results showedthe odometer was improperlyinstalled. ...We then were told the FKAAwould credit me the differencein use, and after one year wehad credits of over $1,000 dueto overcharges from the faultymeter. I asked about the 14years of overcharge, and whereis the credit or refund?The FKAA has chosen toignore my emails, phone calls,visits, etc. In one meeting, theywere going to send this to asuperior for consideration.That has not happened.I encourage any FKAA userto demand a complete audit,including changing the meterif your consumption is excessive,as was ours. The FKAAgave me a printout for theentire length of time, and itshows this excessive use hasbeen there for all these years.We assumed water was expensiveand never challenged thebills we received. We just overpaidfor 15 years, and theyhave kept the money.Jack BurleyMarathonLETTERS POLICY: The Key West Citizen welcomes your letters to the editor, and asks that readers follow these guidelines for letter submission. • Only original lettersaddressed to The Citizen will be published; open letters are not accepted. • Letters must include the writer’s name, address and a daytime telephone number.

In South Africa,so-called “corrective rape” oflesbians has reached epidemicproportions and the governmentdoes nothing to stop it.In seven countries, includingSaudi Arabia and Iran,sex between two consentingmales is punishable by death.I would most likely be arrestedand stoned in Nigeria just forwriting this column. In ourhemisphere, Jamaica is sohomophobic that men havingsex with men is punishable by10 years in prison and societypersecutes gay men at everylevel of culture and even inthe homophobic lyrics of theirmusic.This is so hard to believe,that in 2011, this epidemic ofviolence has been allowed toexist in so many countries.Has the world forgotten thehorrors of the Holocaust? Willthis epidemic of gay and lesbiangenocide be allowed tocontinue? Will thecivilized nations ofthis world stand idlyby or will they standup for what is right— respect for thelife of every humanbeing regardless ofhis or her sexualorientation or genderidentity?One nation thatis finally speaking up is theUnited States of America.Just this past week, PresidentBarack Obama issued a memorandumtitled “InternationalInitiatives to Advance theHuman Rights of Lesbian,Gay, Bisexual and TransgenderPersons.” The memorandumis a comprehensive directiveto all federal departmentsengaged abroad or involvedwith foreign aid, foreignassistance or foreign development.This list includesthe Departments of State,Treasury, Defense, Justice,Health and Human Services,Agriculture, Commerce andHomeland Security. Thememorandum also is in effectfor the United States AgencyRAINBOWREFLECTIONSfor InternationalDevelopment(USAID), theMillenniumChallengeCorporation, theExport Import Bank,and the Office ofUnited States TradeRepresentative.In the first sentenceof the memorandum,the president makesit clear that “the struggle toend discrimination againstlesbian, gay, bisexual andtransgender (LGBT) personsis a global challenge and onethat is central to the UnitedStates commitment to promotinghuman rights.” I amso proud of President Obamaon so many levels, and in thiscase, he has provided unprecedentedleadership.This order became realityas Secretary of State and formerfirst lady Hillary Clintonaddressed the United Nationsduring International HumanRights Day. In an impassionedand comprehensive speech,Mrs. Clinton declared that“gay rights are human rightsand human rights are gayrights” and announced thatthe United States will use ourinfluence and our foreign aidto achieve a world free of violenceagainst the LGBT community.The stone-faced receptionby many African andArab government leaders inthe room just reinforces howimportant this struggle is.They were probably just asmad that the message wasbeing delivered by a woman,as in many of their countriesthe struggle for women’s rightsis still unfolding and womenare often relegated to second-classcitizenship. Womencan’t even drive a car in SaudiArabia, and when they recentlydefied the ban, some werearrested.We have a long way to goin our own country towardequality for the LGBT community.However, since theelection of President BarackObama, the movement hasgained a powerful ally fromhis bully pulpit. From issuingexecutive orders to signingthe repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’tTell,” the president has livedup to many of the promisesoutlined in his campaign. Wecan only hope that during asecond term, he will be ableto evolve on marriage equalityand take our nation to a placeof true equality for all hercitizens.My husband, Harry, and Ilove to travel.

The well-documentedepisodes of anti-gayviolence on this island nationhas led us to never visit thereagain, despite the fact that it isa beautiful country with wonderfulnatural resources andbeaches.The United States ofAmerica has led the way in theworld’s great civil rights movements.From providing forreligious freedom, overturningslavery, and providing womenthe right to vote, to achievingracial equality and promotingequality for women, ournation has provided leadershipthrough our example andinfluence.

Beckford contributed 15points for the Dolphins. Florida Christian won the game, 57-31.BY RALPH MORROWCitizen Sports EditorCoral Shores kept within afew points of Archbishop Curleyin boys basketball Friday night,but in the end the home teamtook a 67-63 victory.“With 3 seconds to go, wewere within two points,” saidCS coach Jay Sanderson, “andwe got called for walking theball inbounds. That cost us atechnical.”However, the real decidingfactor for Curley winning wassize, Sanderson said.William Ismer scored 21 forthe Hurricanes, while TyrellTaylor added 15 and AlbertoAnderson 12.“Taylor played his tail off,”said Sanderson.The Friday Coral Shoresgame made it two games intwo nights after previouslygoing through three games infour nights.On Thursday night, Taylor“had a coming-out party,” saidSanderson. “He wasn’t feelingwell, according to his mother,”reported coach Jay Sanderson,“but he played like he was 100percent.“He had 13 points and 8rebounds. He really played welldefensively. Offensively, he’s agreat athlete.”Despite Taylor’s performanceand 15 points and 10rebounds from Ismer andAlden Todd’s 9 points, theHurricanes fell to District 16-4A rival Gulliver Prep, 71-48.CS is 0-2 in the district and2-4 overall.“In the first quarter, we beatourselves,” said Sanderson.“We were flat and lethargic. Wehad trouble catching the balland making baskets. We gotoutscored, 27-2. However, inthe second quarter and fromthen on, we played them evenby switching to a man-to-mandefense and getting the ballinside.”The team played an even 15-15 second quarter and CoralShores opened the second halfwith a 10-0 run. “With two anda half minutes left in the game,we were within 14 and oneof our kids rimmed out on athree-pointer. Then, they got acouple of baskets.”Coral Shores next playsBarrington ChristianAcademy at 6 p.m., Tuesday,at Tavernier.rmorrow@keysnews.comConchsContinued from page 1Bsuitable restaurant. “We’re alllooking at each other saying,‘what is going on.’”Around the 15th minute,Paul said Pines scored on apenalty kick awarded as a resultof a handball call on RaquelSchoneck. Pine netted numbertwo on an easy goal amid amass of Conchs and went up3-0 on a free kick just over theoutstretched hands of Key Westkeeper Angela Martin. Pinesnailed one more over Martin’sgloves for an insurmountableWrestlingContinued from page 1Bthe team, something he saidhe hopes translates to the restof the team.“Going into the season,I’m really focused,” saidGuieb. “Coach is always tellingme, ‘You’ve got to stepit up because the youngerguys are looking at you,’ andthat makes me work a littleharder.”For Llama, who was injuredin Indiana, wrestling in hissecond national dual meettournament over the summerrepresenting the state ofFlorida, the early part of theseason will be his opportunityto make up ground after missingsix months with a tornlabrum and bicep tendon,returning two weeks beforethe season started. The thirdplacefinisher in last year’sstate meet said the injury,along with the delayed startby Guieb and Anilus, willonly help build the team’smomentum as they work tothe seniors’ pace.“I’m behind a lot and havea lot of catching up to do,”said Llama. “It’s really beendifferent, but with coach’s ideaof leading by example, hopefullyeveryone sees us workinghard.”4-0 lead.“We finished up on a nicerip from Devin (Mitchell) fromabout 20 yards out. It was abeautiful shot on goal, but thatwas it,” Paul said.Boys coach Eggers saidPines is a very tough andtalented squad who couldhave scored more had itnot been for the heroicsof his defense and keeperRoderick Gill.“Roderick was a man on fire.He easily stopped three or fourgoals,” the coach said. “AaronAnsell also played his head off.He truly was the Viking outthere on defense. He covered aLlama, in the 146-poundweight class, and Guieb, in153-pound, are sparring partnersin practice, somethingJimenez said adds to theintensity of each session.“They’re going to be goodpractice partners for eachother,” said Jimenez. “Theyhave different styles. Andreis more about quicknessand explosion. Max is morefinesse and techniques and hebrings strength, but the youngguys see how hard they workagainst each other.”While Guieb’s and Llama’sperformances on the matbuild up practices, Evansserves as an inspiration formany of the younger andsmaller grapplers on thesquad. As a freshman, Evanswas smallest guy on the team,wrestling well under weight in103. Now wrestling in the 132-pound class, he said, “WhatI lack in strength, I make upwith technique.”“He’s a big 132,” saidJimenez. “Over the offseason,we’ve been working on someof the things he’s been needingto work on and he’s definitelyimproved. When we’vegone away, you can definitelytell some of those things arestarting to come into play. Heshould certainly be a statequalifier again this year andshould be able to place.”For Evans, the reality that helot of ground.”The conditions at FlanniganHigh School were very sloppydue to rain earlier in the day.Nonetheless, Eggers said histeam stepped up despite injuriesand missing players.“The boys played the gutsiestmatch thus far on terribleconditions on the field,” saidEggers. “There was a lot ofsloppy footwork, not up to ourstandards, but we really playedhard.”Pines netted a first half goaland Key West knotted the gameon an Austin Malby goal.“We were tied 1-1 in thesecond half, so we decidedis a senior captain only makesthis season that much moreimportant to reach his personalbests.“I still don’t even feel like it’smy senior year,” he said. “I’min the middle of the circle,stretching as a captain now,and it still hasn’t set in yet. Ifeel that after I get my first fewtournament wins it will.”At last year’s state tournament,Llama took thirdoverall; Anilus was sixth whileEvans and Guieb were unableto medal. This year Jimenezsaid Anilus, Guieb and especiallyLlama have shots at astate crown.“I think for Max, it’s goingto come down to him mentallyif he is to win the statechampionship and I think heknows it,” said Jimenez. “Hehad a good offseason beyondthe injury and beat some kidsranked in his class. Most of thekids in his class, he’s beaten sohe has a really good chance atbeing a state champ.”Anilus said he should havefinished third last season, butplacing sixth has the seniorbelieving he and his teammatescan bring home theirgoals this season.“We’re ready to take it, we’rejust hungry,” said Anilus.“Individually, my goal is to winit all. Coach Chaz has workedwith me for three years and healways said I could win it, butto move Justin Hamilton upto forward to see if we couldscore,” Eggers explained. “Wehad a couple of opportunities,but could not convert. Theygot the final goal late in thegame.Eggers had nothing butpraise for the Pines program.“They were a very talentedand well-coached team.That’s what we want to getto, to get to that level. They’rereally skilled,” Eggers said. “Itwas really an exciting game.Overall, again, superb effortagainst a team that has a lot ofskilled players.”rcooke@keysnews.comI never believed it till now.”For Guieb, it’s gold, silver,bronze or bust.“Last year, I was disappointedat states, so this year I’vebeen working real hard,” hesaid. “This offseason I didn’tget to put in too much work,but I’ve been making up forthat. I definitely want to winit this year, but I’ll be happywith top three. Anything otherthan that I’ll be disappointed.”Even with individual successthe ultimate goals, theseniors are still keeping theteam’s aspirations in mind,with that regional championshipon their docket. Last season,the Conchs were regionalrunner-up, but this year withthe four seniors leading theway, Key West seems hopefulto claim that title along witha spot in the 1A State tournament.“Now, I have more peoplelooking at me”’ said Evans.“Teammates expect me to winevery match, because a teamcaptain sets the tone and issupposed to win. So, I have tounderstand it’s not just aboutme. It’s about the team.“I feel like a few monthsago I walked in not knowingwhat a stance was or a shootor anything,” he added. “It’sgoing to be a good year and Ithink there is plenty of goodstuff to come.”jwcooke@keysnews.comKATHY LANCASTER/The CitizenRiley Durkin (15) controls the ball for Marathon, close to theWestminster Christian net on Friday. Durkin scored the sole goal forthe Dolphins as they fell to the visiting Warriors, 2-1.MarathonContinued from page 1BWestminster, 5-2, a first forCoach Lynn Landry during histenure.Marathon’s boys’ team lost,2-1, in a well-played game,according to Landry, who hasdouble coaching duties whileboys’ coach Jim Murphy is onthe mend.“It’s a great feeling. This isprobably the first game we’veput together that was fairlycomplete from start to finish,”said Landry about his girls’team. “We had a couple of letdownsbut overall it was a goodgame.”Katie Landry netted four ofthe Lady Dolphins’ five goalsand Taylor Konrath cranked inthe second goal and assisted onLandry’s final goal.Up 3-1 at the half, on twoby Landry and Konrath’s goal,Westminster broke free andscored its second goal to pull towithin one.Landry put Marathon on top,4-2, on a direct kick from proximately25 yards to the bottomright corner of the net. On thefinal goal, Konrath heaved athrow-in across the box andLandry set it down, beat a playerand shot at the far post.“Taylor played very welltonight. She opened up spacefor a lot of people, because wecould outrun their defense,”the coach said. “I could talkabout everybody tonightbecause everybody played welland everybody at one pointdid something that was amazing.It was a first time thatwe played a team and playeda complete game. We couldhave played better, but we didenough to maintain and winthe game.”The coach said, sinceWestminster came into theDolphins’ district, Marathonhas not advanced to theregional tournament, becauseWestminster eliminated theDolphins.“Last year was kind of a turningpoint where they beat us, 3-2, in the district tournament,”said Landry. “I was hoping wecould have put a few more intothe goal. This was the first gamethat counted with districts.”In the boys’ match,Westminster led, 1-0, at the halfon a set play which has beenthe Dolphins’ Achilles heel.“Corner kicks seem to bethe nemesis for our team thisyear,” Landry said. “They senta deep corner (kick) over andone kid headed it to anotherkid who headed it in,” Landryexplained. “It was a pretty awesomegoal.”Landry said Marathon’srecent loss to Coral Shores disruptedthe Dolphins’ rhythm,but they found their mojo onFriday night.“Tonight, they all maintained,kept a level head andactually played well the wholegame,” said Landry from hiscellphone as his family headedto a Marathon restaurant.In the second half, Marathontied the match on an AnthonyGarcia cross to Riley Durkinwho took a one-touch, 25-yardshot to the far post to knot thegame at 1-1.“Riley played really welltonight, Connor Boyd playedreally well tonight, again. Theboys played as well as I’ve seenthem play,” said Landry. “Wehad some great opportunitieslate into the game, but wejust could not convert. It was agood game.”The Marathon girls hostGulliver Prep at 1 p.m. today.rcooke@keysnews.com

4BTHE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2011SPORTSBY TIM REYNOLDSThe Associated PressThe NBA’s amnesty era is underway.Taking advantage of the league’snew get-out-of-a-contract card, theOrlando Magic waived Gilbert Arenasand the $62 million he was owed overthe next three seasons as one of thevery first moves after the lockout formallyended, and the New York Knickswere preparing to use the clause onChauncey Billups — a precursor toadding Tyson Chandler as a free agentfrom the champion Dallas Mavericks.There was Dwight Howard tradetalk, widespread reaction over theNBA’s decision to reject a proposedtrade of Chris Paul to the Los AngelesLakers, and dozens of moves in shortorder as teams worked briskly tostart filling their rosters for a rapidlyapproaching season.And finally, rookies could become,well, rookies. Kyrie Irving, the No.1 pick this year, signed with theCleveland Cavaliers, as did No. 4 pickTristan Thompson. In Minnesota, No.2 pick Derrick Williams practiced withthe expectation his deal would besigned no later than today, and Utahsigned, among others, No. 3 pick EnesKanter.A number of teams worked out withvery small groups, barely enough toplay even 3-on-3 in some cases.NBA: ROUNDUPWelcome back, pro basketballA wild day of personnel moves; Chalmers, Jones, Howard, Curry in Heat pictureJ PAT CARTER/The Associated PressMIami’s Dwyane Wade, right, listens as teammate LeBron James talks with reportersFriday after the team’s first practice.“It’s good to be back on the court, tohear the balls bouncing and see yourteammates,” Heat forward LeBronJames said. “It’s a great day to beback.”The biggest news was likely yet tocome, and New York was in the epicenterof speculation.Chandler was on his way to NewYork, though was not yet a memberof the Knicks. A person with knowledgeof the Knicks’ plans told TheAssociated Press that the team isplanning to use the amnesty clauseto waive Billups and possibly makeother moves before having the abilityto free up space for Chandler andwhat could be a $58 million deal overfour years.“I’m glad he’s with us and notagainst us,” Knicks forward AmareStoudemire said about Chandler.Howard showed up for the start ofMagic camp, amid reports that he wasseeking a trade to New Jersey. Orlandowas close to making one trade, workingon finalizing a deal to acquireGlen Davis from the Boston Celtics forBrandon Bass.The Magic made a slew of othermoves, including the signings of veteranguard Larry Hughes and formerBoston draft pick Gabe Pruitt.Boston finalized its trade withMilwaukee, acquiring guard KeyonDooling and a protected 2012 secondrounddraft pick from the Bucks. TheBucks also get the rights to forward/center Albert Miralles.Arenas still gets his money, of course— amnesty only means that teamscan rid themselves of salary for capand luxury-tax calculation purposes.A day after the Paul trade fellapart, the All-Star guard showedup for work in New Orleans. InLos Angeles, Pau Gasol — anotherpart of the deal, he was to be sentto Houston — was at Lakers camp.Lamar Odom, who was presumed tobe bound for New Orleans, showedup more than 90 minutes late forthat first practice of the post-PhilJackson-era, then left after meetingwith general manager MitchKupchak.On Friday, though, it seems Paulcould be soon on the move again.“We’re talking about everything.Everything is on the table,” Hornetsgeneral manager Dell Demps said.In Phoenix, a person with knowledgeof the deal told The AP thatGrant Hill is returning to the Sunson a $6.5 million, one-year deal, andlater, the team announced that VinceCarter was waived. The Suns alsoadded guards Shannon Brown andSebastian Telfair.In Miami, point guard MarioChalmers was smiling as he signeda new deal that could be worth upto $12 million over three years,swingman James Jones and forwardJuwan Howard agreed to newcontracts and center Eddy Curry— who has played in 10 games overthe last three years — arrived toformally join the East championsas well.The Heat practiced with only sixavailable players while contracts weregetting finalized. Mike Miller (hernia)and Eddie House (left knee) are undercontract, but recovering from offseasonsurgeries.NFLBig Ben shrugs off ankle injuryBY WILL GRAVESThe Associated PressPITTSBURGH — Jerricho Cotcherywatched Ben Roethlisberger limp into thelocker room in the middle of the secondquarter on Thursday night againstCleveland, the Pittsburgh quarterback’sleft foot swollen and his face awash in apainful grimace and figured Roethlisbergerwas done.Forgive the veteran wide receiver for hisnaiveti, he’s new here.A half hour after Roethlisberger’s night— if not his season — seemed in jeopardy,the two-time Super Bowl winner was gettingtaped up to go back in.“I’m like, ‘Wow, this is what I’ve beenwatching on TV from the other team,”’said Cotchery, who spent seven seasonswith the New York Jets before joining theColt McCoysuffersconcussionBY TOM WITHERSThe Associated PressBEREA, Ohio — Brownscoach Pat Shurmur defendedhis team’s handling of quarterbackColt McCoy’s head injuryin a loss to Pittsburgh.McCoy sustained a concussionfrom a vicious helmet-to-helmethit from Steelers linebacker JamesHarrison in the fourth quarterThursday. McCoy was replacedfor two plays by backup SenecaWallace before coming back inand throwing an interception.Shurmur said McCoy didn’t showany symptoms of a concussionuntil after the game.Shurmur is confident theBrowns’ medical staff followedthe NFL’s strict guidelineson head injuries when theyassessed McCoy on the sideline.McCoy told Shurmur “hewas ready to go” before goingback in. Shurmur was adamantthat if McCoy had been symptomatic“he would not havegone back in the game — absolutelynot.”Shurmur said McCoy did notshow any signs of having a concussionuntil he was leavingthe locker room.League spokesman GregAiello was asked in an email ifthe Browns followed protocol.Steelers in August. “It’s amazing to see,the guy laying it on the line for his teammates.”Hobbling to the huddle, wincing witheach step, Roethlisberger returned to passfor 178 yards in the second half, includinga 79-yard touchdown strike to AntonioBrown with 2:52 remaining that sealed a14-3 victory.Even for a player who prides himself onplaying through pain — Roethlisberger’salready fought through a sprained left footand fractured right thumb this seasonwithout missing a meaningful snap — thiswas a bit much.His injured foot in a walking bootas he talked to reporters afterward,Roethlisberger said he felt like his anklewas “going to explode.” Even if it did, hejoked, he’d just ask injured backup quarterbackByron Leftwich for advice on how“We will review it with theteam,” he responded.Before McCoy went back intothe game, Shurmur said theto get the offensive linemen to carry himdownfield as Leftwich famously did duringhis college days at Marshall.That wasn’t necessary, thoughRoethlisberger’s prognosis remains vague.Though X-rays taken during the gameshowed his ankle wasn’t broken, he underwentan MRI on Friday to get a closer look.The results weren’t immediately available,though he remained optimistic he willplay when the Steelers (10-3) travel to SanFrancisco on Dec. 19.The way Roethlisberger figures it, if hecan stand up at all he’ll give it a shot. It’swhat he does.“People want to hate on him all theywant, but the guy is one of the toughestcompetitors in this game,” defensive endBrett Keisel said. “He plays hurt. He’s gota broken thumb, who knows what’s wrongwith his ankle.”GENE J.

After passing a physical,he signed a $58 million, fouryeardeal reached Wednesday,capping a whirlwind spendingspree by the heretofore frugalMarlins.“A fun and very productiveweek,” Beinfest said. “This is agreat way to end it.”Along with Buehrle, theMarlins signed NL battingchampion Jose Reyes andcloser Heath Bell, and thethree contracts totaled $191million. There are more movesto come, with another startingpitcher the top priority,but the Marlins believe they’vealready upgraded enough tocompete with Philadelphiaand Atlanta in the NL East.“We’d like to play tomorrowas is,” team president DavidSamson said.Buehrle bolsters a rotationthat struggled this yearwithout ace right-hander JoshJohnson, who made only ninestarts before being sidelinedTHE ASSOCIATED PRESSLANDOVER, Md. — In theNFL, Tim Tebow is bringingthe triple option back. At Armyand Navy, they figure it neverwent out of style.Plan the trips to the kitchenaccordingly — because theclock should run and run andrun some more, just as theteams like to do, when thefor the season by right shoulderinflammation. Johnson’sexpected to be ready for springtraining, and he and Buehrlecould form a formidable combination.“When you have a stud likeJosh Johnson at the top of therotation, it’s hard to beat,”Buehrle said. “I’m cominghere just to try to fit in.”But Buehrle will play morethan a supporting role. Sincehis first full season in 2001, thedurable lefthander leads themajors in games started andinnings pitched while rankingfourth in wins with 157, allwith the Chicago White Sox.“He was the primary freeagentpitching target,” Beinfestsaid. “It’s easy to understandwhy if you look at his accomplishments,and the one thingthat stands out is winning. Hejust wins.”A four-time All-Star, Buehrlewent 13-9 with a 3.59 ERA thisyear and won his third consecutiveGold Glove. He chuckledabout being reunited withfast-talking manager OzzieGuillen, who made the jumplast month from the White Soxto the Marlins.“When he’s talking to you,you kind of laugh and giggle,and when he turns aroundand walks away you look ateverybody, ‘Does anybodyunderstand what he said?’”Buehrle said.The roster for Guillenremains under construction.On Friday the Marlins alsodesignated for assignmentright-hander Clay Hensley,who went 6-7 with a 5.19 ERAlast year.COLLEGE FOOTBALLArmy, Navy will run some moreacademies reconvene today(2:30 p.m., CBS) for the 112thedition of one of the most specialrivalries in sports.“Honestly, coming in, when Iinitially got recruited and foundout we were going to be runningthe triple option, I was kind of alittle disappointed,” said Armysenior Max Jenkins, one of threequarterbacks to start a game forthe Black Knights this season.
