Herald/Times Tallahassee Bureau

For the past year, the leading
Republican presidential candidates have drawn a hard line on
deporting undocumented immigrants — especially front-runner
Donald Trump, who has promised
to build a towering wall along the
U.S.-Mexican border to stop others from crossing.
But none of them has ever mentioned another thorny immigration issue that hits closest to home
in Miami: What to do with 28,400
Cuban nationals convicted of
crimes — including more than
2,000 murders — who have
served their prison terms and face
automatic deportations to Cuba
under U.S. law?
For decades, they have been
allowed to live in Florida and
other parts of the United States
under the supervision of immigration authorities because the federal government has had no diplomatic relations with Cuba since
the early 1960s. Of the total facing deportations, about 18,000
live in Florida.
But with President Barack Obama formally reestablishing relations with Cuba last year, thousands of convicted Cuban citizens
in the United States could now
potentially face so-called final
orders of removal to their homeland.
It’s uncertain how much the
issue might stir up presidential
candidates competing in Tuesday’s Florida primaries — but the
eventual winner of the White
House will likely be left with making difficult decisions. Should all
of the Cuban felons be sent back,
or just the violent offenders and
drug traffickers? No one has conducted voter polls on the underthe-radar issue.
“Ten or 15 years ago, this issue
[of deporting Cuban felons] would
have caused a lot of consternation
within the Cuban-American community,” said Dario Moreno, an
associate professor at Florida
International University. “But

TALLAHASSEE

The Florida Legislature on
Tuesday finished work on a record
$82.3 billion budget and now anticipates what could be a harsh
verdict from the budget’s most
powerful victim, Gov. Rick Scott.
Lawmakers hammered out details of a budget deal late Monday
after extensive backroom negotiations and a final flurry of spending, in sharp contrast to last year
when talks collapsed in chaos and
forced a special session and
threats of a state government
shutdown.
Among the budget’s winners are
state universities that will compete
for $500 million in performance
incentive money; charter schools,
which could receive $75 million
for construction, the same amount
set aside for public schools; Tampa’s downtown redevelopment
project, aided by $22.5 million
more so that the University of
South Florida can relocate its
medical school there; and Miami
Dade College, which won $7 million for classroom renovations and
remodeling.
The budget’s losers are led by
state workers, who once again
won’t get an across-the-board pay
raise; state prisons, who won’t be
able to hire 734 officers that officials say they need to change back
to eight-hour shifts; and most of
all, Scott.
The governor’s $1 billion in
business-friendly tax cuts were
gutted and repackaged to largely
reduce property taxes that pay for
schools. Scott’s call for $250 million to recruit jobs was wiped out
by his fellow Republicans running
the Legislature who liken incentive money to “corporate welfare,”
and who won’t be surprised if
Scott shows the same level of
contempt for their priorities.

there that the governor doesn’t
like, and there’s going to be things

SANDERS STATE OF MIND

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders greets a sea of adoring fans Tuesday in Miami’s
James L. Knight Center, the Vermont senator’s first rally in Florida ahead of the March 15 primary
election. But with only a week to go, is there enough time to catch up to rival Hillary Clinton, who leads
him statewide by nearly 26 percentage points? One thing is for sure: Many fans still believe. STORY, 2A

Miami-Dade commissioners
easily approved one of the largest body-camera purchases in
the country on Tuesday, authorizing up to 1,500 video devices
for the county police force.
In a 12-0 vote, commissioners
gave the green light to spending
$1 million a year on the
wearable cameras and the cost-

them. County policy will require
officers to film most encounters

Bernie Sanders made
Florida wait until a week
before the presidential
primary to see him in person.
Absence made his adoring fans’ hearts grow fonder.
They treated the Democrat’s first campaign rally
in the state, held Tuesday
night in downtown Miami,
as a long-awaited rock
concert from a touring
band — only instead of
singing along to songs,
they recited Sanders’
words before he could get
them out of his mouth. He
joked that he should let
them on stage, perhaps to
save his raspy voice.

“This is a sharp audience,” he said, after they
interrupted him for the
umpteenth time, at one
point getting in the way of
his punchline. “You’re
about 12 seconds ahead of
me!”
It was undeniably raucous. But it likely won’t be
enough.
Sanders arrived in Florida a day before Wednesday’s Democratic debate,
hosted by Univision at
Miami Dade College’s
Kendall Campus. He trails
rival Hillary Clinton by
nearly 26 percentage
points in the state, according to a Real Clear Politics
polling average. Even
though the Florida Democratic primary awards
nominating delegates proportionally by congression-

al district — and not on a
winner-take-all basis —
Sanders has a significant
deficit to make up as Clinton leads the delegate
count to date.
Sanders needs to make
inroads in particular with
Hispanic voters, who have
mostly sided with Clinton
and who make up 15 percent of Florida’s Democratic electorate. His campaign put him on Miami
Spanish-language radio
Tuesday — and quickly
learned why reaching them
can get tricky.
Sanders phoned in to
Radio Caracol, Miami’s
Colombian-American station, from Michigan, one of
four states holding Tuesday contests. He promptly
got a question about Colombia’s fraught peace talks
between the government
and armed guerrillas.
“Um,” Sanders began. “I
have to tell you that I am
not up to date on that issue.”
The negotiations with
the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia
(FARC) have been under
way in Havana for more
than three years. Sanders’
opponent, Hillary Clinton,
is the former U.S. secretary
of state.
Cuban Americans dominate South Florida politics,
but they skew largely Republican. When it comes to
Democrats, it’s non-Cuban

Hispanics — like Colombians — who may swing
the vote.
Sanders recovered,
though, pivoting to his
broader message: “What I
will tell you is that I think
the United States has not
paid anywhere near the
kind of attention that it
should be paying to Latin
America, who are our
closest allies.”
The Vermont senator
said he’s traveled to “many” countries in the region
— though he didn’t mention several past visits to
Cuba — and minced no
words over Republican
front-runner Donald
Trump for advocating for
the deportation of nearly 11
million people and for a
wall along the U.S.-Mexico
border.
“Those are really stupid
ideas,” Sanders said,
“which I strongly oppose.”
He predicted Hispanics
would vote for him over
Clinton because Sanders
wants to raise the minimum wage, make tuition
free at public universities
and give immigrants in the
country illegally a path to
U.S. citizenship.
While Clinton didn’t
hold any Florida events
Tuesday, her campaign
forcefully pushed back at
Sanders’ Latino outreach.
The two camps held dueling conference calls with
reporters trying to out-

Hispanic each other. Sanders offered U.S. Rep. Raúl
Grijalva of Arizona and
former Assemblywoman
Lucy Flores of Nevada.
Clinton countered with
U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez of
Illinois and former Mayor
Manny Diaz of Miami.
Team Sanders accused
Clinton of waffling in 2007
about allowing undocumented immigrants to get
driver’s licenses. Team
Clinton bashed Sanders’
opposition to a 2007 comprehensive immigration
bill. Team Sanders cited
the Southern Poverty Law
Center. Team Clinton went
with the American Civil
Liberties Union.
At the rally, Sanders’
audience of several thousand people packed into
the James L. Knight Center
skewed young and white.
But it also included people
like Eder Lopez, a 19-yearold who moved to the U.S.
from Colombia when he
was a boy and can’t vote
because he’s not yet a
citizen.
“If you actually read his
policies, he’s been fighting
for every kind of person
out there,” said Lopez, a
Florida International University finance student
who has been trying to
persuade friends and acquaintances to vote for
Sanders. “He actually
wants to help people naturalize faster.”
Sanders last came to
Florida in July, to speak to
the National Urban League
in Fort Lauderdale. (Clinton’s last public event was
in Broward College in
October). His campaign
opened three mostly volunteer-run offices in Miami,
Orlando and Jacksonville

committed in the United
States, then he should do
that, too,” Jimenez said.
“He needs to step up and
bring these issues to the
forefront.”
U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo,
R-Miami, shared his view,
calling current U.S.-Cuba
immigration policy “highly
dysfunctional.”
“Dangerous criminals
should be deported to Cuba
at the earliest date possible,
while those guilty of minor
offenses should be given the
opportunity to stay once
they have paid their debts to
society,” Curbelo told the
Miami Herald.
Other longtime Cuba
watchers who work in the
criminal justice system
acknowledged the complex
deportation issue hangs over
Miami and could eventually
emerge as an issue in the
presidential campaign.
“I think it’s a presidential
campaign issue, an immigration issue and a Justice
Department issue,” said
Miami defense attorney Jose
“Pepe” Herrera, who has
represented numerous convicted Cubans over the
decades who now face deportations.
Herrera said some nonviolent offenders — including DUI, theft and burglary crimes — might be
able to challenge their deportations if they have established roots in this country.
He noted that many Cuban inmates did not anticipate the change in diplomatic relations between the
United States and Cuba.
Before their release from
prison, they signed waivers
agreeing to their deportations to avoid immigration
detention proceedings —
never expecting they would
ever be sent back to Cuba.
“Many of these Cubans
have lived virtually their
entire life in the United
States and have significant
family ties here, including
minor dependent children
born in this country,” Herrera said. “The issue is indeed
thorny, and I believe many
of these Cubans who have
signed a waiver in reliance
on the existing policy may
have grounds to challenge
their ‘deportable’ status on a

number of legal grounds.”
Unlike other immigrant
groups, Cubans were automatically given a special
status as political refugees
under U.S. law in the years
after Fidel Castro’s 1959
revolution. Under the 1966
Cuban Adjustment Act, any
Cuban who enters the country can apply for a green
card, or permanent legal
residency, after one year
and a day. They can also
apply for U.S. citizenship
after five years, if they
haven’t committed a crime.
As a result, without a new
immigration agreement in
place with the Cuban government, the vast majority
of Cuban felons who have
served their prison terms
have been released back
into society. That’s because
they cannot be detained
indefinitely under two Supreme Court decisions in
2001 and 2005 that prohibit
the permanent detention of
immigrants who cannot be
deported. So, in the meantime, they fall under the
supervision of Immigration
and Customs Enforcement.
There has been only one
exception to the no-deportation rule, in the aftermath of the 1980 Mariel
boat-lift. The Cuban government had sent several
thousand criminals and
patients from mental institutions to Florida as part
of an exodus of 125,000
Cuban refugees. Afterward, under a 1984 repatriation agreement, U.S.
and Cuba officials agreed
to a list of 2,746 Cuban
citizens who could be deported to the island. Of
those, more than 2,200
have been sent back, according to Immigration
and Customs Enforcement.
But based on that agreement, Homeland Security
officials said they have
“little control” over which
cases the Cuban government agrees to accept —
including felons facing U.S.
deportation orders. Indeed,
the Havana government
has accepted the return of
only five Cubans not included on the Mariel list.
In addition, there are
6,700 Cubans facing deportations for non-criminal
violations of U.S. immigration laws.
FIU’s Moreno said the
Cuban exile community’s
attitude toward convicted
felons has likely changed
with the times — especially
since the last major exodus

today, I don’t think there’s
going to be much sympathy
for them.”
For now, Havana officials have made it clear
they don’t want any of
them back. And the Obama
administration has said it
“has no plans to change”
its “current immigration
policy toward Cuba” —
meaning a diplomatic
stalemate persists over the
pending removal orders of
Cuban felons, according to
the Department of Homeland Security.
But given the slow pace
of U.S.-Cuba talks over
more pressing issues such
as trade — Obama plans to
make a historic visit to the
island later this month —
the fate of Cuban felons
living on U.S. soil will likely
be answered by his successor in the White House.
Generally speaking, the
Obama administration has
aggressively enforced U.S.
law requiring the deportation of other foreign
nationals with criminal
convictions: More than one
million felons have been
sent back to their countries
since 2009, mostly for
immigration and drugtrafficking offenses, records show. But similar
actions have rarely been
pursued against Cubans in
decades, largely owing to
Havana’s refusal to take
them back.
Marcos Jimenez, a former U.S. attorney in Miami,
said deporting Cuban felons — as well as the parallel American interest in
bringing to justice fugitives
hiding on the island —
should be at the “forefront” of Obama’s discussions with Havana officials, or those of any future
president for that matter.
“The president has a
duty to enforce U.S. law
and to uphold the Constitution,” said Jimenez, a
Miami lawyer who was
appointed U.S. attorney by
President George W. Bush.
“In order to do that, he has
to be consistent.
“If the law requires him
to deport [all foreigners
with convictions], then he
should do that. If the law
requires him to go after

on Friday.
That hardly bothered his
fervent followers, many of
whom stood up for the
duration of Sanders’ 70minute speech as if in the
middle of a mosh pit.
On 24 hours’ notice,
Sanders packed thousands
of people in to the Knight
Center. He plans stops
Thursday in Kissimmee
and Tampa.
“You are a beautiful
crowd, you are a loud
crowd,” he praised, channeling his inner Trump in
more ways than one. He
highlighted polls showing
him leading Trump in
potential one-on-one
matchups and relished in
urging voter turnout to be
“yoooge.” (Sanders is originally from Brooklyn.)
Sanders hardly veered
from his stump speech,
which doesn’t touch on
immigration reform — a key
issue for Hispanics — until
40 minutes in. He dwelled
on climate change and on a
past visit to “exploited”
agricultural workers in Immokalee. And he pressed his
case for campaign-finance
reform and waging a “political revolution” that didn’t
seem to bother anyone
hearing him in person in the
capital of Latin America’s
political exiles.
“Compared to the rest of
the candidates out there,
he’s the only one with an
ounce of character and
stands for what the regular
man believes in,” said Clif
Porter, 50, who lives near
Ives Dairy Road.
“Do I think he’ll win?”
he added. “I don’t know.”

of Cubans in 1994. That
led to the “wet foot-dry
foot” policy allowing only
Cubans who touch U.S. soil
to stay.
Over the past two decades, there has been an
uptick in federal crimes,
such as Medicare and other
government fraud, with
Cuban suspects fleeing to
the island with their stolen
benefits — a troubling
trend that has a few Cuban-American politicians
questioning the special
political refugee status
afforded new immigrants
from the island.
During the presidential
primary season, Cuba has
barely made a blip — even
though two Republican
candidates are Cuban
American. One of them,
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio,
has pointedly referred to
Cubans defrauding the
U.S. government as a sign
that lawmakers should
tighten generous benefit
rules for Cuban refugees.
But neither he nor Texas
Sen. Ted Cruz — nor any
other candidate —has
delved into the weeds of
the Cuban criminal issue.
The broader immigration
question, on the other
hand, has continued to roil
national politics.
Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders
have pledged to push for
reform and find a path to
citizenship for most of the
about 11 million people in
the country illegally. But
Republicans have maintained a harder line —
none more than frontrunner Donald Trump,
who launched his campaign talking about some
Mexicans who cross the
border as rapists and criminals. (He also insists he’ll
get Mexico to pay for a
“beautiful” border wall,
even after the Mexican
president has dismissed
the notion as nonsense.)
Cruz, abandoning an
earlier position, has said he
would support mass deportations as president. Rubio
has stressed border security but continued to talk
about a lengthy citizenship
path for some undocumented immigrants.

In Depth
IN MY OPINION
BY FABIOLA SANTIAGO

[email protected]

As the
anti-Trump,
Romney
is a dud

I almost feel sorry for Republicans.
Had they consulted a psychologist on what ails the party, they
might have learned a simple
universal truth: Making decisions
out of fear is a bad move. It
sends you back to the past to
reach for the familiar and comfortable, even if it didn’t work
before — and won’t work again.
And so, sans an appropriate
amount of therapy and soulsearching, the GOP has plucked
from its “leadership” ranks last
season’s losing nominee to battle
the formidable menace to society
that is Donald Trump.
The only thing dumber than
thinking that Mitt Romney could
be effective as the anti-Trump
was Trump calling on another
loser, Sarah Palin, for an endorsement to assuage the Fox
News fans he angered by warring
with Megyn Kelly in the first
debate. But at least Palin served
a purpose. The former Alaska

governor and her family are such
a train wreck that Trump’s move
deflected attention for a while
from his misogynist flap with
Kelly. Palin bounced on stage
with a glittery shimmying jacket
that evoked a stripper pole, and
stayed in the news for at least a
week, blaming her son’s domestic violence arrest on PTSD
caused by President Barack Obama.
She’s golden on the entertainment front, both when Palin
plays Palin or when it’s Tina Fey
on Saturday Night Live.
Romney is not even memorable as an SNL character.
With his large and tidy family
(just don’t think of the dog tied
to the roof of the family car on a
road trip) Romney is more the
anti-Palin, the anti-Alaskan wilderness, the anti-surprise. And
he’s not that obsessed with Obama, as Republicans go.
No, Romney is not the right
anti-Trump who can sway people

for whom The Donald can do no
wrong. They’re not as much into
family values as they are into
ego-boosting demagoguery.
Trump makes them feel that
they’re worth something.
No, Romney, with a voice
devoid of confidence unless he’s
addressing the 11 million undocumented he’s certain would
“self-deport” upon his command,
is not the man for the job of
deflating Trump.
His anti-Trump robocall Tuesday on behalf of Marco Rubio in
Michigan, Idaho, Hawaii and
Mississippi only brings to memory how quickly he dismissed the
Florida senator as a vice presidential running mate. And now
he’s trying to assure Americans
now that Rubio is “a candidate
who can defeat Hillary Clinton
and who can make us proud.”
Isn’t it great that Rubio didn’t
“self-deport” from his presidential ambitions?
But most of all, GOP: Why

would you bring in as artillery
the nominee who only one measly presidential election cycle ago
said this? “I am so honored and
pleased to have Donald Trump’s
endorsement. Donald Trump has
shown he has an extraordinary
ability to understand how our
economy works, to create jobs
for the American people.”
That’s like serving the nomination on a silver platter for
Trump, who didn’t waste any
time fighting back, sexual innuendo included: When Romney
solicited his endorsement,
Trump mused, “I could have
said, ‘Mitt, drop to your knees,’
and he would have dropped to
his knees.”
Romney delivers another
Trumpian moment for the collection of the soon-to-be GOP presidential nominee.

“

Democracy is the art
and science of running the circus from
the monkey cage,”
the acerbic journalist H.L.
Mencken once wrote. And
this week South Floridians
will be close enough to
throw bananas as the 2016
presidential big top rolls
into town, with the two big
parties staging debates on
back-to-back nights.
“It’s going to be hot-hothot!” predicts Glenn
Thrush, chief political
correspondent for Politico.
“Children might be conceived, instant rehabs
might be initiated, candidates could be crushed. It’s
going to be a completely
nuts week.”
The Democrats kick
things off at 9 p.m.
Wednesday when Hillary
Clinton and Bernie Sanders
go at it in Miami Dade
College’s Theodore R.

Gibson Health Center on
the school’s Kendall campus. The Republicans follow at 8:30 p.m. Thursday
when Donald Trump, Ted
Cruz, Marco Rubio and
John Kasich take the stage
at the BankUnited Center
on the University of Miami’s Coral Gables campus.
The debates, which kick
off a week of intense campaigning before the March
15 Florida primary that
could go a long way toward
settling the nominations in
both parties, offer our
community some very
special opportunities: to be
gouged bloodless on hotel
and car-rental bills; to be
bored senseless by wonky
delegate-selection-rule
discussions among party
hacks, reporters and political junkies sitting at the
next table in our restaurants; and to see what Ted
Cruz really does during
commercial breaks in debates.
“If a hotel room usually
costs $110, now it’s $300.

If a hamburger usually
costs $12, now it’ll be
$15.95,” says political consultant Roger Stone. “This
circus only comes around
every four years, and everybody’s got to take advantage of it. When politicians promise to fix the
economy, this is what they
mean.”
The prices don’t ward off
the small army of campaign staffers, reporters —
the Democrats have issued
credentials for more than
500 journalists; the Republicans consider their number even more highly classified than Hillary Clinton’s emails, and won’t
release it — and weird
camp followers who troop
around the country to debates.
“It’s like a little snow
globe we travel in,” says
Thrush. “I walk into a bar
and I see all the same reporters and camera crew
and political groupies I saw
in Iowa or New Hampshire.
“The strangest thing
about it are the political
junkies. In Des Moines this
guy who was a schoolteacher from New Jersey
walked up to me and said,
‘Hey, aren’t you Glenn
Thrush from Politico?’ I
mean, it’s not as if I’m on
television and everybody
sees my face on TV all the

time. I’m, like, ‘Hey, do
you have a life? Hey,
please don’t kill me, I have
small children!’ ”
On the other hand, this
is South Florida, where it’s
not unknown for a dissatisfied fast-food customer to
hurl an alligator through
the drive-through window,
so we’re unlikely to be
daunted by mere touristgrade bizarreness.
“Oh, I hope it rubs off on

Republican debate and a

chatter may be less illuminating than you expect.
“Hotel bars at these

Stone. “You’ve got all these

that might or might not be

Getting those tickets,
however, isn’t easy. About
2,000 tickets were issued
for the Republican debate,
1,300 for the Democratic.
Most of those were sucked
up by the campaigns, with
only a few dozen left for
the colleges where the
debates are being held.
The University of Miami
gave away a few to students through a lottery,
though some say the campus is largely indifferent to
the debate. “There’s a kind
of general apathy about it,”
says Jacob Rudolph, a junior political science major
from New Jersey who lost
an election for studentgovernment president a
few weeks ago. “A few
people may be into the
spectacle of it, but as far as
an election to decide the
country’s future, forget it.”
At Miami Dade, a student or two may even get
to ask the Democratic
candidates a question.
Univision, the Spanishlanguage TV network
that’s one of the debate’s
sponsors (it will also be
broadcast on CNN and the
cable network Fusion),
auditioned several students
last week, checking on the
sharpness of their questions and their Spanish
skills.
“I still don’t have the
question finalized, but it’s
going to be about student
debt and how it will really
affect people like me,” said
Maydee Martinez, a 20year-old sophomore from
Miami who’s in the running.
Though Martinez says
she’ll almost certainly vote
for a Democratic candidate, she admits to a certain wistfulness that she’s
not getting a shot at the
free-swinging Republican
debate, where literally
nothing is off-limits.
“Especially since one of
my friends just set up the

everything.”

Charlie played with kids
in the swing and ran fenceto-fence in the front yard
chasing passing motorcycles.
The Garcias put Charlie
down on Monday after a
bullet from a Miami-Dade
police gun ripped through
his chin and tongue when
he was shot in his North
Miami-Dade front yard.
The Garcias, who got the
2-year-old American Bulldog from Miami-Dade
Animal Services, say the
bullet didn’t have to be
fired. Miami-Dade police
said the shooting is under
Internal Affairs review.
“He was loving to us.
Very protective of us. Loyal
to his death,” Adrian Garcia
said on Tuesday at the
home in the 12200 block of
18th Court. “To us, he was a
member of the family.”
Garcia said the gunshot
woke him up around 10:30
a.m. Monday. He went out
the back door, then came
around to the front yard,
where Charlie lay bleeding
near Garcia’s mother, Maria
Gutierrez.
“I think I told my mom to
hold the wound,” Garcia
said. “I went out there and
asked the officers, ‘What
was the reason you had to
shoot my dog?’ He said the
dog came running to attack
him.”
Garcia said his mother,

afternoon, gave this account: In Spanish, she asked
the four officers to wait

n the days of spellcheck and speech-totext, why learn how to
spell words like usufructuary and escargot?
Plenty of reasons, according to super spellers
competing in the Miami
Herald’s 76th annual spelling bee held Tuesday at
Jungle Island.
“To get into middle

school and (do well on) the
SATs,” said Mikey Zoi, in
fourth grade at Fisher
Island Day School.
“I can help people,” said
Amy Sanchez-Lima, a
seventh-grader at Kings
Christian School in Southwest Miami-Dade County,
who said others rely on her
spelling prowess in class.
“They ask me all the time:
‘How do you spell this?’ ”
Explained Camila Sanchez-Perez, in fifth grade
at Wesley Matthews Ele-

mentary in Southwest
Dade: “These days we
have to take our tests on
computers, and we don’t
have spell-check. So it
could be useful in everyday life.”
About 150 kids in elementary and middle
school went head-to-head
in the Miami-Dade County
spelling bee sponsored by
Burger King, the Children’s Trust and Nicklaus
Children's Hospital. The
winner lands a spot at the
Scripps National Spelling
Bee held in May in Washington, D.C.
Representing MiamiDade will be Vasundara
Govindarajan — a twotime winner for whom
excellent spelling runs in
the family.
The 12-year-old at Ar-

chimedean Academy won
the competition with the
word epulation — meaning
“feasting” or “banqueting,” according to the
Merriam Webster dictionary.
Her skinny arms shot
into the air and her big
brother lifted her in a hug
off of the stage. Then the
sixth-grader with braided
pigtails jumped into her
dad’s lap.
“This year I was more
prepared, so I felt more
comfortable,” she said.
Her dad, Muthiah, explained the win: “She
knows the roots and how
the language evolves.
That’s a key part of it.”
It took several tense
rounds — and a few misspelled words — before
Vasundara clinched first

TALLAHASSEE

The Florida Legislature
took its first big step toward
addressing decades of
torture and abuse at a former state-run reform school
by committing $500,000
toward reburying the remains of children found in
unmarked graves.
Families of the more than
50 children found at the
Arthur G. Dozier School for
Boys would be eligible for

up to $7,500 each to give
proper burials for the children under the measure
approved by lawmakers
Tuesday. In addition, the
state would create a task
force to begin making a
decision on what type of
memorial should be erected
at the school in Marianna, a
small North Florida town
just west of Tallahassee.
The Florida House voted
114-3 for the bill sponsored
by Sen. Arthenia Joyner,
D-Tampa, and Rep. Ed
Narain, D-Tampa. The
same bill passed the Senate

last week. The legislation
now goes to Gov. Rick Scott
for his signature.
“More than a tragedy
happened at Dozier,” Narain said. “In the eyes of
any human being with a
heart and a soul, the unimaginable happened at
Dozier.”
Narain said that the boys
who were put in the hands
of the state deserve better
than unmarked graves.
Stories have swirled for
decades about harsh conditions at the school, open
from 1900 to 2011. In 2012,
University of South Florida
anthropologists began in-

vestigating burial grounds
on the campus, where pipe
crosses marked what was
said to be the final resting
place for 31 boys who died
there. Using ground penetrating radar and excavation techniques, they found
55 graves, many in the
woods outside the marked
cemetery. Remains were
found buried under trees,
brush and an old road.

place. It’s her second time
winning: Vasundara, now
in sixth grade, bested the
elementary school competition last year. She’s following in the footsteps of
her older brother, Vaidya,
who has also won a spot at
the national bee.
“We really care for each
other and that’s a big deal.
You can’t raise a champion
without substantial support,” said Vaidya, a senior
at Archimedean.
This was the first year
that both elementary and
middle school students
faced off, giving younger
students a chance to compete at the national event.
In Miami-Dade, the second-place finisher was
Valentina Burgos, a 10year-old fifth-grader at
John I. Smith K-8 Center
in Doral. Kyler Pace of
Alexander Montessori
finished third.
Valentina’s father, Ricardo Burgos, bowed his
head in prayer as his
daughter tried to spell her
way to victory. Last year it
was his younger daughter
who made it to the county
finals — after beating Valentina in a school-wide
bee.
“I’m super proud. I’ve
had two girls back-to-back
here,” Burgos said.
There were several appeals from unhappy parents and students who
misspelled words, leaving
competitors to wait on
stage while munching
sugar cookies and awaiting
a verdict from judges.
Mark Schermeister, who
helped organize the event,
blamed the dust-ups on
discrepancies between
electronic dictionaries and
printed dictionaries.
“Most of these kids go
online to do their studying.
The official Scripps document is the paper version,”
he explained.
Broward County will
hold its spelling bee March
15, and the winner will
also head to the national
competition.

drownings and beatings.
“This is a start toward
that closure for the families
who lost someone,” Narain
said during debate.
Apart from reimbursing
families for burials, lawmakers have been reluctant
to back efforts to compensate those who survived
harsh conditions at Dozier.
State Rep. John Wood,
R-Winter Haven, pressed
Narain to assure the Legislature that this was not a
“claims bill” to compensate
people for what happened
at the school. Wood was
one of three to vote against
the bill Tuesday.
State Rep. John Tobia,
R-Melbourne Beach, made
a failed attempt Monday to
dramatically reduce the
amount of money that
families would be eligible
for reimbursement. Tobia
said $7,500 exceeds reburial costs per victim and
said by setting that as a
maximum, people would
try to spend that amount.
“Two thousand is a lot
more reasonable,” he said.
But Rep. Reggie Fullwood, D-Jacksonville,
questioned why Tobia
would offer such a low
amount, noting the cost of
burying his grandmother
was far more than $2,000.
Moments later, Tobia
pulled his proposal.

Beach mayor to recuse self from vote

ENVIRONMENT

As radioactive leak is linked
to FPL, feds urged to step in
BY JENNY STALETOVICH

[email protected]

Florida Power & Light’s
troubled cooling canals,
blamed for contaminating
groundwater and now found
to be leaking into Biscayne
Bay, are likely violating local
water laws and federal operating permits, critics said on
Tuesday.
Following the release of a
report that found a radioactive “tracer” at levels up
to 215 times more than
normal in Biscayne Bay,
Miami-Dade County commissioners called for quicker action and closer scrutiny of the nuclear power
plant’s canals. The county’s
chief environmental regulator said he planned to
issue another violation —
the county cited the utility
in October for polluting
groundwater — to force
FPL to take more steps to
fix the chronic problems.
Critics, including state
Rep. Jose Javier Rodriguez,
D-Miami, environmentalists and neighboring rock
miners, also demanded the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency intervene.
“This is the last straw,”
Rodriguez said. “Evidence
of radioactive material at
high density in Biscayne
Bay? How much more do
we need to see?”
Rodriguez and others
said the state has repeatedly failed to address worsening conditions. In February, a Tallahassee judge
ordered the state to redo an
administrative order managing the canals, saying it
lacked the most “fundamental element of an enforcement action: charges.”
On Monday, County Mayor Carlos Gimenez released

the latest damning document: A county monitoring
study that found water sampled in December and January contained high
amounts of tritium, a radioactive isotope found in water
used to cool nuclear reactors. While the tritium falls
far below levels that experts
consider dangerous, the
telltale tracer provided the
critical link that high levels
of ammonia and phosphorus
in sections of bay bottom —
pollution that is more damaging to marine life —
likely came from the canals.
Environmentalists now
suspect that new outbreaks
of algae blooms detected in
the bay over the last decade
may be tied to canal water.
They say the utility’s federal operating permit also
prohibits it from dumping
water into the bay.
“Biscayne Bay has traditionally not had algae
blooms,” said Rachel Silverstein, a marine biologist
and Miami Waterkeeper
executive director. “That’s
from pollution. From sewers, septic tanks and now
we know, cooling canals.”
FPL has battled problems
in the canal since it uprated
the plant to produce more
energy nearly three years
ago. FPL officials say they
anticipated some temperature increase, but expected
it to be offset when they shut
down an old coal-powered
plant.
But in the summer of
2014, conditions worsened.
An algae bloom spread and
temperatures soared above
operating limits. FPL proposed fixing the canals by
pumping more fresh water —
up to 100 million gallons a
day — into the canals from a
nearby waterway. But new
research from University of

Miami hydrologist David
Chin found that the addition
of so much water likely
made conditions worse
outside the canals.
As water got higher in the
canals, the underground
saltwater plume, advancing
at a rate of about 150 feet
per year, worsened. It now
appears the saltier, heavier
groundwater also spread
east into the bay.
Despite the findings, FPL
officials say their five-year
monitoring shows no change
in the overall health of the
bay. “When you look at the
big picture, [the canals] are
not impacting Biscayne
Bay,” said Matt Raffenberg,
FPL's environmental services director.
FPL officials also say the
tests they helped the county conduct show elevated
levels of ammonia and
phosphorus only in deepwater trenches dredged
into the shallow bay and
closest to the cooling canals. That, they say, suggests the migrating groundwater is staying put.
“These elevated levels do
not occur in shallow areas in
the bay, or areas that have
flow,” spokeswoman Bianca
Cruz wrote in an email.
But Lee Hefty, chief of the
county’s Division of Environmental Resources Management, said otherwise.
“Through normal process
and wave energy, that water potentially mixes with
shallow water in Biscayne
Bay,” he said.
Cruz also noted that
multiple agencies have kept
an eye on FPL’s own monitoring and a variety of
permits were obtained to
pump the additional water.
But critics say much of that
scrutiny came from state
environmental regulatory

agencies heavily influenced
by the state’s Republicancontrolled lawmakers, who
receive regular donations
from the utility.
“Our shareholders are the
public, the people who depend on that water,” Commissioner Dennis Moss said
during Tuesday’s meeting.
“We’ve got to go into solution mode with that in mind
and not in reference to how
much money some people or
some companies want to
make.”
Commissioner Rebeca
Sosa asked that the county
staff begin providing regular
updates at monthly commission meetings. The county is
now in the midst of enforcing a consent decree hammered out to resolve a threat
to drinking water supplies in
South Miami-Dade: a westward advance of a saltwater
plume, which is dumping
about 600,000 pounds of
salt a day. Under that action,
FPL must install a series of
extraction wells to pump out
the water. The water will
then be pumped into an
injection well that deposits
polluted water in the boulder
zone deep in the Floridan
aquifer.
FPL has started preliminary tests on the wells to
determine where to install
them, Raffenberg said. The
wells must be completed by
October 2017.
While the wells would
help stop some of the canal
water from migrating east
into the bay, Hefty said a
new set of fixes would
probably be required to fix
problems in the bay.
Gimenez also said he was
in talks with the utility to
come up with a more modern method of treating the
canals, which, ironically,
resulted from a 1970s federal lawsuit aimed at keeping water out of the bay.
“We’ve had stop gap
measures we’ve approved.
So far they’ve not proved to
be the solution,” he said.
“It’s time we enter the 21st
century.”

Before Miami-Dade ethics
officials could give their
opinion on whether Miami
Beach Mayor Philip Levine
has a conflict of interest in a
land use vote that could
affect the value of an
adjacent property he owns,
the mayor decided Tuesday
that he would voluntarily
abstain from voting.
Earlier Tuesday, City
Attorney Raul Aguila met
with Joseph Centorino,
executive director of the
Miami-Dade Commission
on Ethics and Public Trust,
to discuss the matter. Levine
had requested an opinion on
whether he had a voting
conflict on a height increase
for a development that
would go next to one of his
properties in Sunset Harbour. The vote is scheduled
for Wednesday’s city commission meeting.
After their meeting, Aguila emailed Centorino telling
him that Levine was going
to voluntarily recuse himself
from the upcoming vote.
“In speaking further with
Mayor Levine, he has decided to voluntarily recuse
himself from voting on the
above referenced matter,”
Aguila wrote. “Therefore, I
withdraw my prior request
to your office for a written
opinion regarding any voting

conflict the Mayor may
have, as his decision renders
same moot.”
The decision comes almost two weeks after the
Florida Commission on
Ethics ruled Levine had no
conflict. It appears as though
the opinion from county
ethics officials may not have
turned out the same way.
Centorino told the Herald
that no official opinion was
given, but he noted that the
county’s ethics ordinance is
broader than the state statute in that it covers instances
where an elected official
“might” directly or indirectly profit from a vote. “The
county ordinance is a stricter rule,” he said.
In a statement, Levine
said that while the state
ethics commission ruled he
did not have a conflict, he
said he decided to recuse
himself because there was a
“small group of detractors”
whose sole purpose was to
“create a crisis.”
“Therefore, I will be abstaining from tomorrow’s
zoning vote affecting a very
limited area, and as such,
have communicated with
the Miami-Dade Ethics
Commission that we no
longer need an opinion from
their office as I have made
my own decision,” he wrote.

incidents where police are
accused of deadly wrongdoing.
He recalled his time as a
Miami firefighter in 1980
during the riots sparked
when white police officers
were acquitted of the fierce
beating of a black insurance agent named Arthur
McDuffie.
“The issue has always
been a lack of knowledge,”
Gimenez told commissioners. “The police say one
thing. The public says
something else.
“No one has any visual
evidence of what happened.”
Miami-Dade has one of
the largest police forces in
the United States, and
Gimenez said the contract
awarded to a subsidiary of
Jacksonville-based Safariland Group should make
the county one of the country’s largest purchasers of
body cameras.
Police officials expect to
have the first wave of body
cameras deployed next
month in the county’s
Midwest precinct, which
includes Doral. Roughly
the size of a deck of cards,
the black devices are
mounted on an officer’s
shirt near the badge.
By the end of September,
about 1,200 cameras
should be in use, said department director Juan
Perez. He described the
cameras as a countermeasure to civilian cellphone
footage, which he suggested can give an incomplete
look at high-profile police
incidents.
“It will tell a better story
for us,” Perez said of the
footage, most of which
would be considered public
record under Florida’s
Sunshine laws. “That way,
we won’t be focused just
on the five seconds someone films of an incident.
We’ll have the entire in-

cident.”
John Rivera, head of
Miami-Dade’s police union, did not attend the
commission meeting but
wrote in a March 2 letter to
Chairman Jean Monestime
that scrutiny is needed for
implementation of the
camera program.
“While we accept the
inevitable, we maintain our
concerns whenever apparatuses are [being] used for
political expediency,” he
wrote. “In order for this
program to succeed, it
must be fully vetted and
fully transparent.”
Perez opted not to require body cameras for the
county’s SWAT team, the
unit known for militarystyle raids. Perez said there
were concerns about requiring footage of SWAT in
action that would then be
available for public viewing.
“We don’t like to record
our tactics,” he said in an
interview. “If we record
our tactics, we get into a
situation where we’re exposing our guys.”
Commissioner Barbara
Jordan expressed concern
about exempting the
SWAT team from the cameras, as did Gimenez himself.
“That’s something I’m
going to talk to the director
about. I want everyone
that’s involved with contact [with the public] to
have them,” said Gimenez,
who served as a medic on
Miami’s SWAT team.
“When you go on a SWAT
mission, there’s a higher
probability that something
is going to happen. So you
probably need to have that
documentation.”
In her comments from
the commission dais, Jordan questioned the wisdom
of buying cameras that
don’t automatically record
footage. Like most models

in use across the country,
the cameras Miami-Dade
agreed to buy from
Safariland’s Vievu record
constantly but require an
officer’s activation to begin
archiving footage.
“It’s left up to the discretion of the officer when
they choose to turn it on,”
Jordan said. “I kind of have
concerns about that.”
Perez said Miami-Dade
at some point might be
able to upgrade to technology that automatically
activates cameras when an
officer turns on a squad
car’s siren or removes a
firearm from a holster.
The police department’s
policy currently requires
officers to activate the
cameras before traffic
stops and other contacts
with the public. But it also
allows officers to turn off
the cameras to protect the
privacy of witnesses and
victims.
Florida also exempts
certain body-camera footage from public-record
laws when the material
was filmed in a private
residence, healthcare facility or other location where
someone has an expectation of privacy.
With Tuesday’s vote,
Safariland won a five-year
contract worth $5.4 million
in all. The county has the
option to renew the contract for an additional 15
years, resulting in a $23
million payment to the
company through 2036. In
September, the county
announced a $1 million
federal grant to defray
body-camera costs.
Commissioner Jose
“Pepe” Diaz left the meeting before Tuesday’s unanimous vote. His arrest on
drunken driving charges in
Key West last summer was
captured by body cameras
worn by the island’s police
officers, but he had raised
concerns about the county’s program months before the well-publicized
incident.

care. The $500 million set
aside as additional funding
for universities will be
doled out based on how
well they perform in meeting 12 benchmarks.
Tapping a pot of money
traditionally set aside for
last-minute deals, lawmakers funded dozens of
supplemental projects, all
of them at risk of Scott’s
line-item veto.
Their “sprinkle list” totaled $123 million in college and university construction, water projects
and various spending
items, including $7 million
in replacement police radios in advance of a highly
competitive bidding war
among vendors.
The $123 million is about
one-third of the amount
that lawmakers approved
last year before Scott vetoed a large chunk of it,

part of a record-setting
$461.4 million in vetoed
spending.

to finish a project at the
University of North Florida
in Jacksonville that had
been left off an earlier
project list.
“That’s why we have a

we can make sure that we
can correct those mistakes,
and we did,” said Rep.

budget negotiator.

For Florida Sen. Marco
Rubio, a favorite of Republican elected officials,
Tuesday marked the latest
in a series of disappointing
nights. He emerged from
Michigan and Mississippi
with no delegates.
Rubio insisted he would
press on to his home state’s
primary in Florida.
“It has to happen here,
and it has to happen now,”
Rubio told supporters Tuesday during a rally in Sarasota.
If Rubio and Kasich can’t
win at home, the GOP
primary appears set to
become a two-person race
between Trump and Cruz.
The Texas senator is sticking close to Trump in the
delegate count and with six
states in his win column,
he’s argued he’s the only
candidate standing between the brash billionaire
and the GOP nomination.
During a campaign stop

For the first time in
years, most House Democrats are expected to join
Republicans in voting for
the budget, a bipartisan
gesture designed to make
Scott ponder the possibility
that lawmakers could override his vetoes.
Democrats have never
liked big tax cuts, and Republicans rejected them
this year.
Democrats also have
long complained that Republicans funded higher
school spending on the
backs of property taxpayers
and Republicans changed
that, also over Scott’s objections.
In a major policy shift, a
state-mandated property
tax rate for schools will
decline slightly and a 1
percent boost in per-pupil
spending will be paid with
state tax revenue, if Scott
approves.
“They’ve seen the light,”
said Rep. Evan Jenne, DDania Beach. “We can’t
keep doing [schools] on the
backs of local communities.”
Republicans also pleased
Democrats by striking budget language to deny Medicaid money to Planned

“I’m not here asking any

thunderous applause and
cheers. “I’m pledging my
support of you.”
Republicans were also
holding contests Tuesday
in Hawaii and Idaho. GOP
candidates were fighting
for 150 delegates, while 179
Democratic delegates were
at stake in the party’s two
primaries.
The economy ranked
high on the list of concerns
for voters heading to the
polls in Michigan and Mississippi. At least 8 in 10
voters in each party’s primary said they were worried about where the American economy is heading,
according to exit polls con-

ducted by Edison Research
for The Associated Press
and television networks.
Among Democrats, 8 in
10 voters in both states said
the country’s economic
system benefits the
wealthy, not all Americans.
Sanders has sought to tap
into that concern, energizing young people and
white, blue-collar voters
with his calls for breaking
up Wall Street banks and
making tuition free at public colleges and universities.
Michigan, with big college towns and a sizeable
population of working-class
voters, should be a good fit
for him. But Clinton has led
in polling.
The results in Mississippi
underscored Clinton’s
overwhelming strength

with black voters and Sanders’ stunning inability to
draw support from voters
who are crucial to Democrats in the general election. Clinton carried nearly
9 in 10 black voters in Mississippi, mirroring her margins in other Southern
states with large AfricanAmerican populations.
With Tuesday’s wins,
Trump leads the Republican field with 428 delegates, followed by Cruz
with 315, Rubio with 151
and Kasich with 52. Winning the GOP nomination
requires 1,237 delegates.
Among Democrats, Clinton had accumulated 1,134
delegates and Sanders 502,
including superdelegates.
Democrats need 2,383
delegates to win the nomination.

FLORIDA LEGISLATURE

Alimony formula ending lifetime payments approved
BY MICHAEL AUSLEN

Herald/Times Tallahassee Bureau
TALLAHASSEE

A rewrite of Florida’s
divorce laws that upends
alimony and custody policies is headed to Gov. Rick
Scott after being passed by
the Legislature.
Under SB 668, judges
could no longer grant lifetime alimony payments, and
much of the discretion in
negotiating each case would
be gone. Instead, the
amount and duration of
alimony would be determined by formulas based on
the length of the marriage
and the differences in in-

come between the two people divorcing.
Supporters argue this will
create more consistency
between cases and predictability for couples going
through divorce.
But the component that
has caused the loudest outcry is a “premise” that children split time equally between both parents. Judges
could adjust that premise
after weighing 15 factors,
including evidence of domestic violence, the parents’
health and their “moral
fitness.”
Opponents argue that this
changes the focus of childsharing agreements in divorces to what parents want.

“Everything should be in
the best interest of the child,
and this is making the best
interest of the child secondary,” said Rep. Lori Berman,
D-Lantana.
The bill passed the House
74-38 Tuesday after overwhelmingly clearing the
Senate last week.
It now goes to Scott, who
vetoed a similar measure
two years ago. The vetoed
legislation would have been
retroactive and allowed
people to modify existing
alimony and custody agreements. The new bill is not
retroactive in dealing with
children, although it is unclear if courts would reconsider existing alimony agree-

ments using the new rules.
The bill’s House sponsor,
Rep. Colleen Burton, RLakeland, said Tuesday that
the legislation “will make
circumstances a little bit
easier during a really emotional and trying time for
families.”
Senate sponsor Sen. Kelli
Stargel, R-Lakeland, said
that existing laws setting
guidelines for child custody
will remain intact. One such
law creates a presumption
that domestic violence victims should have custody of
their children, not the abusers.
Opponents have argued
that the alimony rewrite is
essentially an assault on

women, who make up 97
percent of recipients in Florida. In part, that’s because of
a provision allowing alimony
agreements to be renegotiated if the recipient’s income
increases by 10 percent, said
Sen. Arthenia Joyner, DTampa.
Joyner cited an effect on
those who choose to stay
home and raise children,
impacting their career development and ability to save
for retirement if their spouse
seeks a divorce.
“Think about the man or
woman who leaves their
profession because they love
their spouse and love their
children and want to provide
the best a mother can do,”
she said on the Senate floor
last week. “Wrinkles occur, a
little love spots here and
there … and then you get
kicked to the curb.”

The debate became personal for some lawmakers.
Rep. Ritch Workman,
R-Melbourne, became an
advocate of such reforms
after his own 2010 divorce
from his ex-wife, Tiffany. He
talked about his divorce on
the House floor, saying that
what matters most to him in
the bill is the 50/50 time
split with children. In his
case, he said, he had to fight
to gain equal time with his
two daughters.
Denying him equal time
would have been “the same
thing as issuing me a death
warrant,” he said. “You may
as well give me the razor
blades and a warm bath if I
could only see Bailey and
Sophie on Wednesday nights
and weekends.”

Israeli fire. Most of the Palestinians have been identified by Israel as attackers,
while the rest were killed in
clashes with security forces.
In the Jaffa attack, Israeli
Channel 2 TV interviewed a
man identified only by his
first name, Yishai, who described confronting the
Palestinian as he was stabbing people in the street.
“I was sitting down playing guitar and I heard
screaming from across the
street,” said the man, who
wore a T-shirt of the rock
band Tool. “I saw a man run
at me with a knife, I ran at
him with the guitar and
smashed it in his head. He
was so stunned and didn’t
know what to do with him-

his capture demonstrated
the far-flung nature of the
Bush administration’s battlefield and the captives it
called “enemy combatants.”
In addition, the Pakistani
has a long-standing heart
condition, and in 2007
used his habeas corpus
petition to seek treatment
in the United States rather
than in remote Cuba. He
lost the bid and at one
point the Defense Department airlifted a mobile
catheterization lab and
21-member team to the
outpost to offer a procedure
that Paracha ultimately
refused.
He also helped five Yemeni detainees design a
so-called Milk & Honey
farm, a prospectus for an
imaginary, utopian selfsufficient collective drawn
up in 2014 at Guantánamo’s communal prison to
demonstrate a vision of life
after detention.

Authorities searching for man
suspected in 5 fatal shootings
KANSAS CITY, KANSAS

Dozens of officers
searched farmland in Missouri on Tuesday for a man
suspected of killing a man at
a nearby house just hours
after fatally shooting four
people at his neighbor’s
home about 170 miles away
in Kansas.
Two helicopters, police
dogs, and at least one
SWAT team were helping
look for Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino near New
Florence, said Capt. John
Hotz, a Missouri State Highway Patrol spokesman. The
patrol said he might be
armed with an AK-47.
Several schools in the
area were placed on lockdown, with officers stationed at the buildings.
Serrano-Vitorino, of Kan-

sas City, Kansas, was
charged with four counts of
first-degree murder Tuesday afternoon in the Kansas
killings, Wyandotte County
District Attorney Jerome
Gorman said. Gorman’s
office listed Serrano-Vitorino’s age as 40, while police
said he was 36.
The search for him began
late Monday when four men
were shot at the home in
Kansas City, Kansas. One of
the men managed to call
police before he died, but
it’s unclear how the men
knew each other or what
might have prompted the
shooting. On Tuesday, sheriff’s deputies responded to a
shooting about 5 miles from
where a truck that SerranoVitorino was believed to be
driving was found.

Police said the attacker
ran toward the beach and
continued attacking passersby before he was shot and
killed.
Meanwhile, Biden was
meeting with former Israeli
President Shimon Peres.
“I notified the vice president on the terrible incident
that took place just a few
hundred meters away from
here in Jaffa,” Peres said.
“Terror leads to nowhere.”
Biden “condemned in the
strongest possible terms the
brutal attack which occurred
in Jaffa,” his office said.
In other attacks Tuesday,
a Palestinian opened fire at
police officers near Jerusalem’s Old City in the late
afternoon, about a half hour
before Biden arrived in
Israel, wounding an officer
before fleeing. In the chase
that followed, the Palestinian wounded another officer before he was shot and
killed, police said.
A short time before that, a
Palestinian followed an
Israeli into a store and
stabbed him in the neck in
Petah Tikvah before he was
shot and killed.
Earlier in the day, a Palestinian woman in her 50s
who tried to stab Israeli
security forces was shot and

release.
As of this week, 36 of
Guantánamo’s last 91 captives are approved for release to security arrangements that satisfy Secretary
of Defense Ash Carter, half
of them by the Periodic
Review Board.
The board released its
latest decision Tuesday,
upholding the indefinite
detention status of “forever
prisoner” Yassin Qasim, 36.
At his Jan. 26 hearing, his
attorney told the board that
after 14 years at Guantánamo, the Yemeni has “lost
the wanderlust and thirst
for adventure he had at age
22. … He has no appetite
for politics and simply
wants to get on with his
life.”
But in a three-paragraph
statement, the board didn’t
agree. It noted “the frequency, specificity, and
recent nature of the detainee’s expressions of support for extremist behavior” as well as a “lack of
candor.”
Qasim got to Guantánamo in May 2002.

WORK/LIFE BALANCING ACT
BY CINDY KRISCHER
GOODMAN

Hiring
employees:
what the
data reveal

Whether or not you realize it,
your career path may have a lot
less to do with what people think
of you as an employee and more
to do with what numbers reveal.
Much like the way the Florida
Marlins crunch numbers to determine which players best fit
their team, companies are embracing the power of data to
create a winning workforce.
By mining data, companies
from Miami to Silicon Valley are
doing everything from sorting
through massive pools of candidates for better hires to discovering why people quit and how to
get them to stay. Experts think
that using analytics to make
“people” decisions will revolutionize this process.
“Organizations are collecting
more and more data than ever
before about employees and perspective employees,” said Dave
Weisbeck, chief strategy officer
for Visier, a Canadian human
resources analytics firm — a
leading expert in the field.
“The next step is looking
for patterns to understand
their people and make better decisions about their most
expensive asset.”
Gartner, the information
technology research firm, predicts that data will grow by 800

percent over the next five years
and that competitive businesses
will leverage new sophisticated,
lower cost technology to better
analyze data and metrics that
apply to their workforces.
For employees, the trend could
mean a greater chance of being
successful in the position they’re
hired for.
When Foot Locker faced high
turnover in its retail athletics
stores in 2010, the company
embraced analytics to predict the
profile of retail salespeople who
were more likely to stay with the
company long term. Using a
cloud-based software system, the
shoe retailer scans applicants’
online assessments to determine
how closely candidates’ behaviors align with a job profile. Once
they’re screened, store managers
then receive streamlined questions from the analytics-consulting firm to ask candidates based
on theassessments.
Foot Locker says using “predictive analytics” to hire has
helped. The company’s store
managers now spend less time
on hiring the right candidates
and more time selling sneakers.
While it’s easier to find patterns at big companies, Weisbeck
at Visier says even small businesses can tap data to uncover

why someone succeeds in a particular job and what to look for in
future hires: “It’s about using
data to understand people.”
At a time when workers, particularly young workers, are on
the lookout for better opportunities, achieving a “good fit” in
hiring has become increasingly
critical. It not only can save employers money in turnover costs
— it can benefit employees, too:
Workers who hold the right job
for their skills can minimize
burnout and achieve better
work/life balance.
At Google, where about 2 million résumés flood in each year,
all hiring is done by a “people
analytics” team that uses data to
measure traits such as leadership
skills, cognitive ability, humility
and ownership. Google also has
developed its best-interviewing
practices through research. By
removing “gut feel” and guesswork from the hiring process,
Google claims, its workforce
productivity is now off the charts
and the time it takes to hire a
candidate has been halved.
“Instead of leaving it up to bias
or whether someone likes you or
not, analytics can predict success
in a role and look past the school
someone went to or where they
worked in the past,” says Greta

Roberts, CEO of Talent Analytics
in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
which uses predictive analytics to
help customers with their attrition problems or performance
challenges.
Glassdoor.com, an online
recruiting marketplace, uses
analytics to help employers uncover patterns in management
ratings to predict a talent exodus
or pinpoint the best geographic
locations for a recruitment campaign. “It helps an employer
make decisions where to put
their budget or give them an
opportunity to solve problems
before they get out of hand,”
says Lisa Holden of Glassdoor,
an online recruiting marketplace.
Beyond hiring, organizations
are also using workforce analytics to guide them with scheduling, training, compensation
decisions and productivity. Analytics also can uncover traits that
would make an employee more
valuable. “It gives light to areas
of a company where someone
would be successful that a manager may never have considered,” Roberts says.

Davie apartment
complex to open
in spring 2017
A 59-unit Davie apartment complex is under
construction as demand
for rentals remains strong
across South Florida.
PARC3400 is expected
to open next spring at
3400 Davie Road, across
from Nova Southeastern
University and Broward
Community College.
“If Davie had a downtown, this would be it,”
said Alex Rosemurgy, a
principal for developer
Park Partners Residential.
Rental rates have not
yet been set for the one-,
two- and three-bedroom
apartments. Amenities
include a clubhouse, pool
and car charging stations.
Park Partners is a partnership that includes
Rosemurgy Properties,
Giles Group and FSG
Holdings. The companies
developed a 598-bed
student housing complex
that opened last year near
Florida Atlantic University at 135 N.W. 20th
St. in Boca Raton. The
companies also converted
two other nearby rental
properties into student
housing developments.

MOSCOW

Nike and other sponsors
swiftly distanced themselves from Maria Sharapova on Tuesday after the
world’s highest-earning
female athlete outed herself as a longtime user of a
recently banned drug.
Swiss watch brand TAG
Heuer and German luxury
car company Porsche
quickly followed the sportswear giant, suspending
their support of the fivetime Grand Slam winner
after she announced Monday that she took meldonium at the Australian Open
in January, days after the
substance was banned.
Many other athletes have
attacked the messenger,
challenged the results or
blamed others after being

confronted privately by
positive tests for banned
drugs. Sharapova went
public instead, taking full
responsibility and effectively throwing herself at
the mercy of the International Tennis Federation.
“I know that with this, I
face consequences,” Sharapova said, waving away a
question that invited her to
blame her doctor or someone else on her team.
“I have to take full
responsibility because it’s
my body and it’s what I put
into my body and I can’t
blame anyone but myself,”
she said. “At the end of the
day everything you do is
about you.”
The former world No. 1
could face a lengthy ban,
possibly ending her season
and preventing her from
competing for Russia at the
Olympics this summer in
Rio de Janeiro.

Much more costly would
be losing the advertising
revenue that has made her
the top earning female
athlete for 11 straight
years, according to Forbes.
“We have decided to
suspend our relationship
with Maria while the investigation continues,”
Nike said in a statement.
TAG Heuer said it has
abandoned talks on renewing its sponsorship, which
expired in December, “in
view of the current situation.” Porsche said it has
“chosen to postpone
planned activities” with
Sharapova “until further
details are released and we
can analyze the situation.”
And Evian, the water company, said it “will follow
closely the development of
the investigation.”
Industry veterans were
surprised by how quickly
these companies backed
away from such a bankable
performer. Sharapova
earned an estimated $29.5
million last year alone, the
vast majority off the court.
“She’s a one-woman
marketing machine,” said
Nigel Currie, a British-

based sponsorship consultant.
But marketers have become more sensitive to
doping scandals after the
public denials of athletes
such as Lance Armstrong
or Barry Bonds, especially
in the age of social media.
“Waiting around makes
a brand look indecisive,”
said branding expert Allen
Adamson, founder of
Brand Simple Consulting.
“When in doubt, you don’t
want to be connecting your
brand with an athlete who
has not played by the
rules.”
Still, none of Sharapova’s
sponsors have cut ties
altogether, and other athletes have rebounded from
scandals: Nike stuck with
Tiger Woods after he apologized for cheating on his
wife, and welcomed back
Michael Vick after he
served time for an illegal
dog fighting ring.
Though Sharapova did a
“textbook” job of owning up
to her mistake, questions
linger, including whether
she listed the drug among
her medications when she
was tested in Australia, said

Paul Swangard, who lectures at the Warsaw Sports
Marketing Center at the
University of Oregon.
Answering those questions could determine how
quickly Sharapova, 28, can
return to competition, which
would be her best way of
quickly rebuilding her image, Swangard added. “If
she is banned at the age that
she is at, she might not have
a chance to use her playing
ability to rebuild her credibility.”
Sharapova has dropped to
No. 7 in the WTA rankings,
and due to injuries, she has
played just three tournaments and the Fed Cup final
in the last eight months
since Wimbledon.
This raises the possibility
that sponsors may have
acted quickly in part because her brand isn’t as
strong now, said Manish
Tripathi, assistant professor
of marketing at Emory
University’s Goizueta Business School.
“If she was playing the
way Serena Williams is
playing right now, Nike
wouldn’t have acted this
quickly,” Tripathi said.
“The fact that she got
out in front of it and continues to be apologetic and
up front and proactive
about drug testing will
make it easier for her. But
the big thing she has to do
to get over this is win
something,” he said.
The World Anti-Doping
Agency banned meldonium starting this year because it aids oxygen uptake
and endurance. Sharapova,
who said she has taken
meldonium for 10 years for
health issues, said she
neglected to click on a link
in a late December email
to check the new list of
banned substances.
“I let my fans down. I let
the sport down that I’ve
been playing since the age
of 4, that I love so deeply,”
Sharapova said. “I don’t
want to end my career this
way, and I really hope I
will be given another
chance to play this game.”
Born in Siberia, Sharapova was just 5 when she was
discovered by Martina
Navratilova. She and her
father had just $700 on
hand when they moved to
Florida so she could train
for tennis stardom. The
lanky blonde won Wimbledon, her first Grand Slam
title, at 17, and the endorsements came rolling
in.
Sharapova now has 35
career singles titles and
more than $36 million in
career prize winnings. But
her endorsement deals and
extensive business ventures, including a highprofile candy line, Sugarpova, dwarf what she earns
on the court.

Brazil’s Marcelo Odebrecht gets 19 yrs.
BY STAN LEHMAN

Associated Press
SAO PAULO

A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced the former
president of the country’s
largest construction company to more than 19 years
in prison for involvement
in the massive corruption
scheme at Brazil’s staterun oil company Petrobras.
Judge Sergio Moro, who
is heading the Petrobras
investigation, sentenced

Marcelo
Odebrecht
to 19 years
and four
months
imprisonment on
Odebrecht
charges of
corruption,
money laundering and
belonging to a criminal
organization.
Odebrecht is the highestprofile executive to be
convicted in the so-called
“Operation Car Wash”
investigations. He is one of

the central private sector
figures in what prosecutors
have called a criminal
organization.
Prosecutors have said
the overall scheme involved more than $2 billion
in bribes paid to obtain
Petrobras contracts, with
some money making its
way to political parties,
including the governing
Workers’ Party. Some of
Brazil’s wealthiest people
have been caught up in the
probe, as have dozens of
politicians from both the

Miami joins White House’s
TechHire initiative
BY NANCY DAHLBERG

[email protected]

Miami has joined the
White House’s TechHire
initiative, with 14 community partners and more
than 140 companies committing to work together
to train and place nearly
2,500 candidates into
well-paying technology
jobs by the end of 2020,
the White House is expected to announce
Wednesday.
TechHire, launched one
year ago by President
Barack Obama, is a multisector national initiative
to create a pipeline of
Americans with technology skills via universities and community colleges, as well as coding
boot camps and highquality online courses that
can rapidly train workers
for a well-paying job.
The Miami area is one
of 15 U.S. communities
joining Wednesday and is
now part of a network of
50 communities. It’s the
first such initiative in

Florida.
CareerSource South
Florida and LaunchCode,
both nonprofit groups
dedicated to placing jobseekers in tech jobs, are
leading Miami’s efforts to
train and place 1,190
individuals into tech jobs
by the end of 2017 and
2,415 individuals by the
end of 2020. The TechHire initiative comes with
no federal dollars attached, but grant programs are available, said
Jacob Leibenluft, deputy
director of the National
Economic Council. “We
see it as an opportunity to
bring together partners
and provide tools,” Leibenluft said on Tuesday.
“Part of the goal of this
program is that communities learn from each other.
As the network grows, we
will see returns to scale.”
Miami currently has
140 companies committed to interviewing qualified candidates that graduate from Miami TechHire’s training partners,
including Miami Dade
College, Wyncode, Code

Fever Miami, New Horizons, Florida Vocational
Institute, the Academy of
South Florida and
Ironhack. The Beacon
Council, along with the
Greater Miami Chamber
of Commerce, MiamiDade Chamber of Commerce and e-Merge Americas, will lead efforts to
ensure that employers’
commitments to the community of Miami are fulfilled, the White House
said.
In addition to the new
TechHire partners, the
White House will also
announce new rules that
aim to extend the time
international students
graduating from U.S.
universities with STEM

high schools and that the
White House plans a
“Week of Making” June
17-23 to feature makers
across the country.

governing coalition and the
opposition.
Petrobras is Brazil’s
biggest company and is in
charge of tapping big offshore oil fields and creating wealth that leaders
expected would propel the
country to developedworld status.
Odebrecht’s attorney
Nabor Bulhoes said in an
emailed statement that the
sentence against his client
was “unfair and unjust
because none of the evidence produced backs it.”

“None of the documents
produced so far links Marcelo Odebrecht to any
illicit act being investigated,” Bulhoes said, adding
that he would appeal the
sentence.
Odebrecht and other
executives from other
construction companies
were arrested last year as
part of the investigation
into the corruption scheme
at Petrobras.
Marcio Faria and Rogerio Santos, former executives at the builder, were

also sentenced to 19 years
and four months in jail,
according to the statement.
Meanwhile, in a separate
case, former Sen. Luiz
Estevao turned himself in
Tuesday to begin serving a
more than 20-year sentence for misappropriating
up to $100 million in government funds during
construction of a federal
courthouse in the 1990s.
Estevao was convicted in
2006, but managed to
avoid imprisonment by
filing several appeals. The
appeal process ran its
course and federal judge
Alesssandro Diaferia ordered his arrest on Monday.

Startups selected for
eMerge Americas showcase
BY NANCY DAHLBERG

[email protected]

More than 100 startups
have been selected to participate in this year’s eMerge
Americas Startup Showcase,
where the young companies
will exhibit their products
and services at April’s
homegrown technology
conference and possibly
have the opportunity to
present on center stage for a
$175,000 investment prize.
The Startup Showcase is a
cornerstone of eMerge
Americas, launched by
Terremark founder Manny
Medina and now in its third
year, which includes
keynote speakers, company
and country exhibits, contests, a hiring fair, a fashion
show and networking opportunities. eMerge said
10,000 people attended its
two-day conference at the
Miami Beach Convention
Center and affiliated events
last year.
This year, the conference
will be April 18-19.
The Startup Showcase,
which includes three tracks

— early-stage, late-stage and
university — is also in its
third year; past winners
include Modernizing Medicine, Hair Construction,
Symptify and VSN Mobil.
This year drew far more
applicants from the universities, said Xavier Gonzalez,
CEO of eMerge Americas.
For the first time, the
program will be presented
by Grupo Arcano, an international private equity
firm with offices in Santiago, Miami, London and
Sydney that has backed
Uber, Snapchat, Square and
Miami-based Open English,
among others.
The Showcase includes
startups from 15 countries,
but about half of the companies in the Showcase this
year are from Florida, and
most from South Florida.
Similar to last year, 25 companies will advance in the
contest and present on the
center stage at eMerge on
Tuesday in front of panels
of investors for a share of
the prize — $100,000 to the
later-stage winner, $50,000
to the early-stage winner
and $25,000 to the uni-

versity winner, which will be
in the form of an investment from the judges themselves. The presentations
will take place Tuesday,
along with the Network for
Teaching Entrepreneurship’s competition for high
school students, and presentations by finalists in the
eMerge hackathon taking
place just before the conference, Gonzalez said.

Venezuela Congress takes
up case of missing miners
BY HANNAH DREIER

Associated Press
CARACAS, VENEZUELA

Opposition politicians on
Tuesday demanded Venezuela’s government to do
more to determine what
happened to a group of
missing miners allegedly
killed by gang members.
More than 1,000 soldiers fanned out across the
southeastern jungle state of
Bolivar to search for the 28
miners who relatives say
were dismembered and
disappeared by a gang
seeking to take over a disputed gold claim.
The country’s opposition-controlled Congress
planned to discuss later
Tuesday whether state
agents might have been
involved in the disappearances.
Families and people who

said they witnessed the
attack accused law enforcement agents of participating. Lawmaker Americo de Grazia said that
given the number of missing miners, the reported
atrocity could have taken
place only with the complicity of local officials.
Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez denied
these claims.
“We know very well who
is behind these accusations, and we won’t fall for
the provocations of the old
political establishment,” he
said.
“We won’t rest until we
know everything about
incident, which is abhorrent to all Venezuelans.”
Bolivar state Gov. Francisco Rangel, a staunch ally
of Venezuela’s governing
socialist administration,
has said there is still no
proof a massacre occurred.

Children play at a table where a female FARC rebel is sitting in Puerto Vega, Colombia. In
Colombia, up to 40 percent of leftist rebels are women.

Women play expanded
role in Colombian
peace process
BY FRANCO ORDOÑEZ

McClatchy Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON

When armed groups lay
down their weapons, women have rarely been part
of the conflict negotiations.
But in Colombia, where
up to 40 percent of leftist
rebels are women, they
have had a much more
prominent role in the anticipated peace agreement
between the Colombian
government and Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia, known as the
FARC, who have been engaged in more than a half
century of armed conflict.
Not only have women
been at the negotiating
table, but they also have
been working behind the
scenes to ensure that gender issues were addressed
in any final agreement. A
subcommission was established early on to ensure
gender perspective in the
negotiations and that women’s groups were properly

heard. Women already
have won one major victory: ensuring that sexual
violence is not absent from
the final accord.
“The jury is still out,” said
Virginia Bouvier, a senior
adviser for the U.S. Institute
of Peace, which is providing
resources and training in the
Colombian peace process.
“They’re still negotiating, so
we don’t know exactly what
the final reports will be, but
the provisional agreements
that have been reached do
allow for sexual violence to
be considered as a crime
against humanity.”
That’s a major step, as
the United Nations reports
that just 6 percent of 300
peace agreements in the
past 25 years mentioned
sexual gender-based violence, and even fewer set
steps to ensure that those
responsible were held
accountable.
On Tuesday, International Women’s Day, Bouvier joined Kare R. Aas, the
ambassador of Norway,

Indian police say
girl was raped
and set on fire
BY KATY DAIGLE

Associated Press
NEW DELHI

A 15-year-old girl was
fighting for her life in a New
Delhi hospital Tuesday after
being raped and set on fire
on the rooftop terrace of her
family’s home in a village
outside the city, police said.
The attack is just one of
several recently reported
cases of rapes of women or
children in India — underlining the persistence of
such violence despite a
public outcry three years
ago that led to stronger laws
against sexual assault.
In the latest case, police
arrested a 20-year-old man
suspected of raping and
attempting to burn the girl

to death Monday in near the
New Delhi suburb of Noida,
according to constable Yadram Singh of the Bisrakh
police station.
Singh said the man “had
burns on his hands” and
was charged with several
offenses, including rape,
attempted murder, assault
of a minor, and causing
grievous injury.
The girl was in critical
condition with severe burns
over most of her body,
Singh said. Indian newspapers said she had burns on
95 percent of her body.
Singh’s police report
describes how the girl’s
parents found her after
hearing her screaming.
The girl told police that
she was raped, beaten, and
then set on fire by a man

Iran tests ballistic missiles
BY THOMAS ERDBRINK

The New York Times
TEHRAN, IRAN

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps of Iran
staged ballistic-missile tests
on Tuesday, Iranian state
television reported, although the accounts did not
specify whether the military
had fired any ballistic missiles capable of carrying a
nuclear warhead, which
would violate a United
Nations resolution.
Missiles were fired from
several silos in different
regions of the country, state
television reported.
One 3-minute clip showed
a missile silo at an enormous underground base
with what seemed to be a

midrange Qiam 1, a shortrange ballistic missile. “This
is a missile revolution,” the
presenter said.
The head of the Revolutionary Guards, Maj. Gen.
Mohammad Ali Jafari, and
the commander of the Aerospace Force of the Corps,
Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, attended the exercises,
state television reported.
Hajizadeh said that the
United States was “trying to
turn off the lights of Iran’s
missile program.”
“The Guards Corps
doesn’t give into threats,”
he said.
Under the terms of the
nuclear accord signed last
summer, Iran was called
upon to refrain from testing
missiles designed to deliver
nuclear weapons. In Octo-

itate talks, in Washington
to press the Colombian
government and FARC
negotiators to keep genderbased issues in the final
deal.
The two sides face a
March 23 deadline for a
plan to end the conflict,
which has killed hundreds
of thousands of people and
displaced millions since
1964.
Advocates for women
also will be looking for job
training and reparations for
victims of sexual violence.
During the conflict, Aas
noted, many women rose
to leadership positions
within the FARC. They’re
unlikely to want to return
to stereotypical gender
roles, he said.
Considering that women
make up half the population, Aas said, including
them is key to the legitimacy of the peace process
and helps ensure success.
“They need to see the
rights and needs of the
whole population are fulfilled,” Aas said.

who she said had been
stalking her for months,
Singh said.
India’s women and children are considered particularly vulnerable to sexual
violence and harassment
because of widespread
social taboos against speaking about sexual assault.
The stigma is enough to
keep many from even reporting crimes, while many
others face police resistance
in filing complaints.
Experts say that has started to change since the fatal
gang rape of a 23-year-old
woman on a New Delhi bus
in 2012 triggered national
anger and demands that
more be done for women’s
safety. The government
rushed through legislation
to double prison terms for
rape and to criminalize
voyeurism, stalking and the
trafficking of women. But
activists say more action is
needed.
The public debate has
also increased Indian newspaper reports of rape and
assault, including several in
just the last few days.

ber, the United States issued
sanctions on some businesses and individuals after
Iran tested an Emad missile
in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1929, which bars Iran
from working on nuclearcapable ballistic missiles.
Iranian officials say that,
under the nuclear agreement, it is clear they do not
have nuclear weapons, so
the missile program is simply a part of its defense
capabilities.
In a statement on their
website, the Revolutionary

intended to “demonstrate
Iran’s deterrent power and
the Islamic republic’s ability
to confront any threat

Nuclear
plant leak
imperils
our water

T

he discovery of dirty
water contaminated by
tritium leaking into
Biscayne Bay from the
cooling canals at the Turkey
Point nuclear plant is the clearest
sign yet that FPL and state regulators are doing a poor job of
protecting the public.
At this point, there is no reason
to panic. But the discovery confirmed by a study represents a
sharp indictment of the safety
regulation system and deserves
the full attention of the utility
and government officials at every

level — now.
The canary in the coal mine is
dying, an alarming sign that
something is very wrong and that
much worse may be ahead unless
corrective action is taken immediately.
Tritium is a radioactive isotope
of hydrogen that emits a relatively weak form of radiation,
found naturally on the planet.
Used as a “tracer” element to
monitor leaks or spills from nuclear plants, it is not considered
hazardous at low levels.
During the testing period,
however, tritium at the bottom of
the bay close to the canals ranged from more than 130 times to
215 times higher than normal in
ocean water. This is far below
dangerous levels, experts say, but
no one has gauged how much
damage has been done to the
cooling canal system. It’s certainly bad enough to warrant public
concern, though.
South Florida residents have
every right to demand that the
utility company, the state and

local and regional water managers make it their urgent priority
to fix the problem. If this doesn’t
light a fire under FPL and regulators, we wonder, what will?
They must (1) stop the leaks
and (2) determine how much
damage the cooling canal system
is causing to Biscayne Bay and
the Biscayne Aquifer, a major
source of South Florida’s drinking water.
The problems at Turkey Point
have a troubling history. After
the 2013 expansion, FPL had to
seek permission from nuclear
regulators to operate the canals
at 104 degrees, the hottest in the
nation. When that produced
signs of damage to the eco-system, a new management plan
was drawn up, but that didn’t
work either.
Last month, Administrative
Law Judge Bram Canter ordered
FPL and regulators to clean up
the canals after finding that they
had caused a massive underground saltwater plume, threatening to contaminate drinking

with tritium.

water wellfields.
The judge declared that Florida regulators had let the utility
off the hook by failing to stop the
pollution when the state’s Department of Environmental Protection approved a faulty management plan over the objections
of nearby cities and the county.

FPL estimates that it dumps
600,000 pounds of salt daily
into the Biscayne aquifer. Yet
even so, Florida’s Department of
Environmental Protection told
Judge Canter the state was unable to cite a specific violation.
No wonder the judge criticized
their performance.
To their credit, Mayor Carlos
Gimenez and the Miami-Dade
County Commission have been
monitoring this problem for
years, demanding that the state
do a better job of protecting the
public. Last year, the county
complained about the state’s
inadequate oversight and ordered additional monitoring of
bay water, which resulted in the
latest report.
FPL officials say their monitoring shows no change in the overall health of the bay, but the
latest finding can’t be ignored.
County leaders must insist on
more-stringent monitoring and
better solutions before South
Florida turns into another Flint,
Michigan.

Climate
change:
A Latino
priority
As a former president of
the United States Conference of Mayors, I have
always given serious consideration to the agenda of
the National Hispanic
Leadership Agenda released every four years.
The NHLA represents
Latinos on all the major
issues that face our country, from economic inequality, to healthcare and
immigration issues.
This month, I felt particularly gratified when I read
that this coalition of 40
powerful Latino organizations made the historic
decision to feature climate
change among its top line
political priorities. Miami is
one of the most climatevulnerable cities in the
nation. This is part of the
reason I launched Miami
21 during my first term. We
need to grow smart if we
want to flourish and continue to spur sustainable
growth in the region.
Economically, climate
change presents both a
host of threats and a
wealth of opportunities.
Our shift to renewable
power and energy efficiency means monumental
opportunities on every
level of the economy. As
mayor, I used policy tools
to harness that potential
for Miami’s economy and
to help bring green jobs to
Latino communities.
The NHLA was released
at a crucial juncture. Key
environmental laws like
the Clean Air Act, the
Clean Water Act, and the
National Environmental
Policy Act are under attack,
and Latino leaders will be
increasingly vocal in their
defense in the coming
years. We recognize that a
viable 21st-century economy has a base in renewable
energy sources, and that
this economic transition
means an expansion of
opportunities for Latinos
and the workforce as a
whole.
Speaking of warming
climates, we are seeing a
shifting political climate
with increasing attention
directed toward Latino
constituencies and their
priorities. Latino leadership
recognizes the urgency of
climate change and knows
that the time to act is now,
for our communities and
for future generations.

GERMANY’S LEAD
I’m a dyed-in-the-wool
conservative, but I do admire what Germany has
accomplished in developing green energy. Since
enacting the Renewable
Energy Act in 2000, it has
developed a more sustainable energy grid based on
tax incentives that have
encouraged small- and
medium-sized energy companies to compete in the
overall energy production
cycle.
The results have been
dramatic, having created
almost 400,000 new jobs
in the renewable-energy
field, and producing 29
percent of its energy from
renewable sources.
Of course, the construction of clean-power plants
is significant, but German
studies have shown that
when considering the economic impact of environmental costs associated
with traditional energy
production, it achieved a
surplus of 3.2 billion Euros
so far, and every year those
savings will multiply.

VENETIAN REOPENS
I thank our elected officials for their concern and
interest in the recent grand

Causeway (Venetian Causeway bridge reopens after
$12.4M fixes, March 3).
I would like to welcome
them back for the grand
re-reopening and the grand
re-re-reopening that are
bound to occur if continued abuse is allowed.
The experts agree that
the fragile causeway is not
up to the traffic load and is
bound to continue to fail
unless a major overhaul is
completed.
However, city and county officials are doing nothing to prevent this, encouraging overweight and oversized traffic to divert from
better-suited routes back to
the Venetian.
At any given hour you

slowly damaging the existing structures.

ed officials and politicians.
By 2030, sea level in
South Florida is expected
to rise by six to 20 inches.
By 2050, as much as $366
billion in South Florida real
estate could be at risk from
coastal flooding. These
affects won’t just devastate
our economy — they’ll
displace Florida families
and harm our communities. We know that climate
change is happening and
we know that we, as

the most devastating impacts over our lifetimes.
As a candidate from
Florida, U.S. Sen. Marco

DEMOCRATS ELECTED
In his March 3 letter,
Jorge Pinares asked us to
name one member of a
minority who won a statewide race as a Democrat.
How about David Sholtz,
the 26th governor of Florida, 1933-37 and Richard
Stone, who was U.S. senator from Florida 1975-80.
And don’t forget David
Levy Yulee, who was elected as the first Jewish member of the U.S. Senate 184145 and for whom Levy
County is named. All of
them are Democrats who
were elected statewide and
are members of a minority
— Jewish.

– Bill Silver, Coral Gables

THE DEMAGOGUES
This nation had its share
of populist demagogues
last century. Huey Long
and George Wallace come
to mind.
It has been a recurring
feature of human nature
for those who, as Thoreau
said, “lead lives of quiet
desperation” to blame
someone other than their
own kind for their plight —
which has meant, usually,
blaming minorities and
foreigners.
The rise of the current
incarnation of this phenomenon is not unique in
the United States. It can
get much uglier if not held
in check by the awakening
of our better natures.

In reality, ‘lesbian mother’
just another term for ‘mother’

BY LEONARD PITTS, JR.

his is how John
Ward described
killing his first
wife.
“I wanted her to give me
my divorce and custody of
my daughter,” he told
Geraldo Rivera. “And she
told me she’d see me in
hell first. And I told her to
save me a seat. And then I
shot her.”
“ . . . I shot her three

times in the upper left
shoulder,” he said. “She
told me not to kill her, she
would give me the baby
and a divorce. I fired three
times point blank into the
heart . . .
“And I reloaded and I
shot her six more times,
point blank.”
Ward did eight years in
prison for second-degree
murder. But there is more.
One of his daughters has
said that when she was a
child, he tried to molest
her and other children. A
stepdaughter has said that
when she was a teenager,
“I brought a friend of mine
over, a black girl. He was
like, ‘Get that damn n----r
out of my yard.’ ”
The point being, that

Ward was hardly an exemplary human being.
Yet when a Pensacola
judge had to choose between this steaming hot
pile of humanity and his
estranged second wife in
deciding custody of their
adolescent daughter, Cassey, the judge sided with
him. Given what a piece of
work this guy was, you
might wonder: What was it
about Mary Ward that was
so objectionable a court
would choose him over
her?
Simple. Mary was gay.
Cassey, said the judge,
should grow up in “a nonlesbian world.”

Mayors: GOP

debate to confront

hursday, Coral Gables will host the next
GOP presidential
debate just a few days
before Florida’s presidential
primary. As the mayors of
Miami and Coral Gables, we
are proud of our cities and
look forward to welcoming the
candidates for an exciting
forum at the beautiful University of Miami campus.
With all the national attention coming to South Florida,
we encourage the candidates
to address an issue that’s been
given scant serious attention
in this election, but that is
vital to our future here: global
warming.
To date, all of this year’s
Republican presidential candidates either have rejected
global warming outright or
dismissed any solutions as too
difficult or too expensive.
As staunch Republicans, we
share our party’s suspicion of
government overreach and
unreasonable regulations. But
for us and most other public
officials in South Florida,
climate change is not a partisan talking point. It’s a looming crisis that we must deal
with — and soon.
Sea levels off the coast of
Florida rose about eight inches in the 20th century. As a
result, we have seen worsening tidal flooding, more
severe storm surges, and saltwater intrusion into our aquifers. This is just the beginning.
We expect to see a foot or
more of sea-level rise by
2050, a level that will make

large areas of South Florida
uninhabitable. By the end of
the century, four to six feet of
flooding could make this
region unrecognizable.

consensus is that the rising
sea levels are caused by the
planet warming, that the burning of fossil fuels is driving
this warming, and that we
need to act quickly to avoid
the worst impacts ahead.
These are the facts. We
shouldn’t waste time debating

them.
What we can debate — even
if the candidates are unlikely
to do so on Thursday — is how
to respond. We can debate
ways to develop clean energy,
how to put a price on carbon
and how to protect coastline
communities from flooding
and storms. We can debate
ways to grow the economy
and create new jobs while
protecting lives and property
from climate change.
However, neither of us
expect to hear those debates
on Thursday, which we find
frustrating.
This is why we joined a
bipartisan group of 21 mayors
in Florida who are urging
debate organizers to include
questions on climate change
throughout the debate. This is
a serious concern for our
state, and the nation’s next
president should care about
the concerns of the people
who elected him or her. The
debate will give candidates an
opportunity to address these
concerns and show the residents of Florida that they are
proactive in safeguarding our
state’s livelihood.
As the nation turns its eyes
to Florida in preparation for
its presidential primary, we
hope that the candidates coming here will start paying attention to the threat posed by
global warming.

Court decision. Monday,
the top court unanimously
sided with a gay adoptive
mother fighting her former
partner for access to their
children.
The unnamed plaintiff
filed suit after the couple
split up and the ex-partner,
who is the children’s biological mother, refused to
let her see them. The adoption had originally been
processed in Georgia, but
the Supreme Court of Alabama, where the two women now reside, refused to
recognize its legitimacy.
In striking down the
lower court ruling, the
Supreme Court offers an
important affirmation of
the parental rights of gay
men and women. But even

as you laud it, even as you
welcome it, your thoughts
turn to Mary Ward. And
not just to her, but all the
other men and women who
lost their children because
some judge deemed their
sexuality more important
than their personhood or
parental fitness.
Sadly, we’ll never know
what Mary’s take on this
might have been. She died
of a sudden heart attack
the year after she lost her
child. It’s hard not to suspect grief played some part
in that.
Four years ago, a pair of
Miami Beach filmmakers
released Unfit, a documentary on the case. In
writing about the film, The
Miami Herald’s Steve
Rothaus reported that
Cassey ended up bouncing
in and out of her father’s
house for a few years before finally moving in for
good with her older sister
Carla, who is a lesbian.
Cassey herself told filmmakers she regrets being
taken from her mom. “I
look at my brother and my

sisters, and how they’re,
you know, doing good and
have all their friends and
great jobs and homes, and
I think if Mom would have
got to raise me it would be
the same because they had
the love and support from
Mom.
“But my dad was country
and kind of narrow-minded.”
This week, the nation’s
highest tribunal figured out
what Cassey’s narrowminded dad never could —
that “lesbian mother” is
just another word for
“mother.”
One is pleased to see it,
but one’s pleasure is shadowed by morbid ruminations on the hardiness of
ignorance, the intransigence of fear and the way
people’s lives get ground to
pieces on the gears in between. Twenty years after
the fact, Mary Ward finally
finds a rough and imperfect vindication. This is a
good thing, yes.
But you know what they
say about justice too long
delayed.

Pass law to regulate
state’s substance-abuse
treatment industry

BY FRED MENACHEM

[email protected]

T

he state of Florida has
the opportunity to send a
clear message to the
substance-abuse treatment industry with the passage of
HB 823, co-sponsored by Rep. Bill
Hager, R-Boca Raton. If passed it
would target unethical business
and marketing practices. The
Senate version, SB 1138 is sponsored by Sen. Jeff Clemens, DLake Worth.
A few weeks ago, Hager filed

an amendment to the bill to authorize and fund a pilot program
that would have national implications and that would be headed
up by Dave Aronberg, Palm
Beach County state attorney. The
program would coordinate state
and local agencies, law-enforcement entities and investigative
units to finally regulate an industry that is incapable of policing
itself.
At the national level, President
Obama is advocating for $1.1
billion to combat opiod addiction,
and politicians like former Gov.
Jeb Bush are standing up and
sharing their own experiences of
family members who have recovered from the disease of addiction.
The substance-abuse industry is
plagued with systematic fraud,
ethical lapses and questionable

business practices. While reputable operators certainly do exist,
they are outnumbered by “gun
slingers” that justify playing Russian roulette with the lives of
those who struggle with the disease of addiction and mental
illness.
Almost 10 percent of our population struggles with addiction;
that’s 30 million people. More
Americans die each year from
drug overdoses than in car accidents; about 120 people a day,
50,000 lives annually. According
to the National Institute on Drug
Abuse, almost 70 percent of high
school students will have tried
alcohol, half will have taken an
illegal drug, almost 40 percent
will have smoked a cigarette and
more than 20 percent will have
used a prescription drug for a
nonmedical purpose.
We spend billions of dollars to
combat swine flu and Ebola,
while we neglect to fund at appropriate levels prevention and intervention programs as well as to
create regulatory agencies that
police that funding.
Why are regulations and high
levels of funding so important to
our future? The reality is that we
are in a global crisis of epidemic
proportions. While many Americans have a difficult time understanding a disease that removes
the power of choice and, like a
tornado, annihilates everything in
its path, we can certainly all agree
that we must find a solution.
Substance abuse is destroying the
very fabric of our nation.
Time is not our friend. We are a
country at war, from big cities to
small towns. Rich or poor, addiction does not discriminate. It is
decimating our consciousness,
destroying our souls and threatening our national security. We
must support progressive legislation, increased funding and regulatory agencies that have real
authority to police, investigate
and prosecute those that would
take advantage and put our loved
ones who are already at risk of
dying into further jeopardy.
We must reach out to our legislators on both the federal and
state levels. We need to raise our
voices and raise them loud; our
future and our survival are at
stake.

behavioral-health reform advocate,

If there is any magical pixie dust
left floating around the George
Mason University campus from the
Patriots’ improbable run to the
2006 Final Four, Coach Jim
Larrañaga hopes it rubs off on his
University of Miami players.
It is the 10th anniversary of
George Mason’s historic March;
and Larrañaga, who coached that
scrappy team, is using the occasion

to inspire his 11th-ranked Hurricanes as they prepare for the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament
this week in Washington.
Miami, the No. 3 seed, got a double-bye into the quarterfinals, and
plays at 9 p.m. Thursday against the
winner of Wednesday’s game between Virginia Tech and either
Florida State or Boston College.
As soon as Larrañaga saw last
August the Hurricanes would end
the regular season at Virginia Tech,
he knew exactly where he wanted
them to practice for the ACC tour-

nament — at EagleBank Arena on
the George Mason campus in Fairfax, Virginia.
On Monday, Larrañaga gathered
his UM players at midcourt in that
building, formerly known as the
Patriot Center, and told them to
look up into the rafters at the Patriots’ Final Four banner.
He regaled them with stories of
that team, told them of “the sacrifices and the joys.” He explained
how an 11th-seeded team managed
to upset No. 6 Michigan State, defending champion North Carolina,
Wichita State and top-seeded
UConn — silencing critics (including TV announcer Billy Packer) who
said the Patriots, who had lost to
Hofstra in their conference tournament, didn’t deserve an at-large bid

Dolphins taking curious approach
IN MY OPINION
BY ARMANDO SALGUERO

T

wo months ago Miami
Dolphins owner Stephen
Ross said he’s prepared to
do what is necessary to
make his team a winner over a
sustained period of time.
He set that as the marching orders for the men who run his franchise. He said both privately and
publicly he is committed to his
people, including 37-year-old head
coach Adam Gase, even as they
learn and grow.
Ross made it clear he wasn’t
interested in building a team that
could rise suddenly from the
depths of a 6-10 season only to
fall back with a thud because
open wounds were treated with
Band-Aids rather than surgery.
Ross’ first year as part owner of
the Dolphins, you’ll remember, was

2008 and that’s when the team
made a dramatic turnaround from
1-15 and last to the playoffs. But
that team was a mirage. And the
Dolphins have failed to have a winning season since.
That’s not what Ross wants to
repeat.
So, when these Dolphins
launched out into this offseason by
signaling or outright confirming
they might lose significant players
such as Brent Grimes, Brice
McCain, Lamar Miller, Rishard
Matthews, and even Olivier Vernon, it sounded like we were about
to see the team rebuilt.
And that’s fine. Teams that are
6-10 should be at blown up. They
are, after all, 6-10.

NFL ROUNDUP

Williams signs two-year deal; DL Jackson signs
Vernon, Miller likely to leave deal with Jaguars
From Miami Herald Wire Services
BY ADAM H. BEASLEY

[email protected]

The Miami Dolphins
could never beat Mario
Williams.
So they asked the former
No. 1 overall pick to join
them.
The Dolphins officially
announced Williams’ signing late Tuesday — a blockbuster move intended to
improve their own team at
the expense of an AFC East
foe.
Williams, who spent the
past four seasons with the
Buffalo Bills, averaged
more than a sack a game in
his eight divisional meetings with the Dolphins.
NFL Network first reported the two-year deal
will pay in the neighborhood of $8 million annually.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins
are poised to soon say
goodbye to two homegrown stars: Olivier Vernon and Lamar Miller.
Williams’ price tag is
substantially less than the
$12.7 million that they had
committed to Vernon last
week with the transition
tag — a one-year tender
that he’ll likely never play
under.
A league source expects
Vernon to sign a long-term
deal with another team in
the coming days, and the
Dolphins will be hardpressed to match, given
their many needs. It’s possible they even rescind the
tender before the league
year begins Wednesday
afternoon.
As for Miller, he could
sign with the Houston
Texans as soon as Wednesday. The Texans have keen
interest in landing Miller,
and appear to be willing to
pay more than the Dolphins are willing to.
Miller and Vernon cannot sign with any other
team before the start of the

Defensive end Mario Williams signed a two-year contract with the Dolphins on Tuesday.

new league year at 4 p.m.
Wednesday. Each has
played his entire football
career in South Florida;
both were teammates at
the University of Miami
and drafted by the Dolphins in 2012.
Put simply, there’s not
enough money to keep
Vernon and Williams, a
former No. 1 overall pick
who has 96 career sacks in
10 seasons and is just two
years removed from an
All-Pro campaign.
But his play dropped off
a cliff in 2015. He never
meshed with new Bills
coach Rex Ryan last fall,
and was a salary-cap casualty earlier this offseason.
Many in Buffalo questioned Williams’ effort last
year; he had just five sacks
and 19 tackles.
The Dolphins divided
their time Tuesday between locking down Williams and finalizing a trade
with the Eagles that brings
linebacker Kiko Alonso and
corner Byron Maxwell to
Miami.
The terms of the deal
have not yet been made
public, but assuming both

But the Dolphins’ planned
demolition is starting to take
a curious shape in that Miami is so far getting rid of its
problematic, undistinguished or overpaid players,
and replacing them with
someone else’s problematic,
undistinguished or overpaid
players.
The Dolphins are in a
couple of instances — with
running back Lamar Miller
and defensive end Vernon —
taking a course that suggests
they’d rather not overpay for
their homegrown players
but would explore the possibility of doing that with
someone else’s.
Consider, for example,

what is about to happen at
defensive end:
The Dolphins on Tuesday signed Mario Williams
to a two-year deal after he
failed last season to fit into
Rex Ryan’s new system in
Buffalo. He became so
disenchanted, teammates
say he simply quit on them.
Is Williams talented?
Yes.
But the Dolphins are now
paying a player who quit on
his team in 2015. And the
move means they probably
won’t be able to keep both
Cameron Wake and Vernon, two try-hard players,
who have never played for
any other NFL team.

players passed their physicals Tuesday, the Dolphins will send draft compensation to Philadelphia
in return. It’s possible that
the teams will swap firstround draft picks; the Dolphins own the eighth overall pick, the Eagles the
13th.
Williams, Alonso and
Maxwell are just the beginning of the Dolphins’ envisioned makeover on defense.
Even if they let Vernon
walk and keep Cameron
Wake (who’s due $8.3
million in 2016 and has a
$9.8 million cap number),
they will still likely sign
another defensive end.
They have interest in the
Rams’ Williams Hayes and
the Cowboys’ Jeremy Mincey.
Plus, they want to still
upgrade at linebacker.
Ex-Bengal Vincent Rey is
among those on their radar.
Then there’s the secondary. The Dolphins want at
sign least one more starter,
and probably two.
And two of the Dolphins’
top targets played under

new Dolphins defensive
coordinator Vance Joseph
in Cincinnati a year ago:
Cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones and safety
George Iloka.
Jones, 32, has a long
history of off-the-field
issues, but seemed to get
his career on track under
Joseph’s tutelage. He made
his first Pro Bowl in 2015.
Iloka, meanwhile, is an
under-the-radar talent. Just
25, Iloka has started all but
four games for the Bengals
in the last three seasons.
He had a career-high three
interceptions and 74 tackles in 2014.
Should the Dolphins land
all of their top targets —
and so far, they have —
they will take a wrecking
ball to a defense that grossly underachieved in 2015.
They will likely cut or trade
cornerback Brent Grimes
in the coming days, and
the team has shown little
interest in retaining free
agent defensive end Derrick Shelby.

Miami is either going to
get rid of the team’s active
sack leader in Wake or not
going to match whatever
offer sheet Vernon signs as
a transition player.
And why not keep all
three?
Because carrying a $12
million cap cost for Ndamukong Suh, a $9.8 million
cap cost for Cameron
Wake, a $5-plus million cap
cost for Williams and a $7
million to $9 million cap hit
for Vernon is not a tenable
position for Miami.
Or any team.
Something has got to
give. And, unless the Dolphins pull a very pleasant
surprise, the most likely
player gone will be Vernon,
whose agent David Canter
has made it a personal
mission to get his client a

huge deal in free agency.
So the rebuilding Dolphins in this scenario
would be losing the 25year-old player while adding the 31-year-old and
keeping the 34-year-old
who is coming off an
Achilles injury and last year
was on a restrictive snap
count before the injury.
Oh, yeah, and the team
will likely add another
defensive end in free agency, albeit someone most
fans have never heard of
because Derrick Shelby has
to be replaced, too.
None of that is rebuilding in the classic sense.
This isn’t drafting well,
keeping your own, letting
lesser players graduate in
free agency, and replacing
them by drafting well
again. Green Bay’s Ted
Thompson would scream if
he studied what the Dolphins are doing.
They’re moving pieces
around with sights set only
a year or two down the
road when Wake is no
longer playing and Williams is shopping his final
contract to the highest
bidder.
Vernon, meanwhile, will
be 27 years old.
Now this must be said:
The Dolphins are going to
approach free agency with
the idea of getting better
now, not tomorrow or two
years from now.
They’re expecting to be
aggressive in addressing
the defense to make last
year’s poor unit whole and
the guard position on offense better.
They don’t want to break
the bank but the goal is
indeed to get as good as
possible as soon as possible.
And what about Ross’
desire to build a team that
can sustain for years and
years at a high level?
For now, the Dolphins
seemed focused on 2016.

The Jacksonville Jaguars
took the first step — a
huge one — in rebuilding
their defense Tuesday.
The Jaguars agreed to
teams with Denver Broncos defensive lineman
Malik Jackson on a sixyear, $90 million contract
that includes $42 million
guaranteed, according to a
person familiar with the
negotiations. The person
spoke to The Associated
Press on condition of
anonymity because freeagent deals can’t be finalized until Wednesday.
Jackson will be an immediate starter for a team
desperate to improve an
inconsistent pass rush and
add several playmakers on
that side of the ball.
The Jaguars finished
near the bottom of the
league in just about every
defensive category during
coach Gus Bradley’s
three-year tenure, and
showed little, if any, improvement last season
despite adding some
pieces. The Jaguars gave
up the second-most points
(448) in franchise history.

Canes
lacking
experience
at CB

When the Hurricanes begin
their first spring practice under
Mark Richt next week, Miami’s
predicament at cornerback
should very much concern them.
UM has one corner with substantial experience (Corn Elder)
and just five other natural corners on the 2016 roster.
“I’m not worried,” cornerbacks
coach Mike Rumph said. “One
of my best attributes is I feel I
can create corners or take a corner as a project and make him a
good player.” He said UM might
use a safety (potentially Jaquan
Johnson) at corner or a linebacker at safety.
Rumph sees “a lot of Duane
Starks” in Elder, but “I want
him to be more of a Phillip Buchanon, lock-down corner.”
UM’s best option opposite
Elder might be sophomore Sheldrick Redwine, 6-1, who saw
some action at corner last season
after picking off seven passes as
a senior at Killian. “Redwine is
going to be a great player,”
Rumph said.
UM’s three other natural
corners played mostly or all
on special teams in 2015:
Sophomore Ryan Mayes, 6-1,
who hasn’t fulfilled expectations; sophomore Michael Jackson, 6-2, a four-star prospect

who chose UM over Nebraska;
and 6-0 sophomore Terrance
Henley, a Pompano Beach Ely
alum who had no other major
college offers.
Rumph is high on Malek
Young, 5-9, the only natural
corner among the four incoming
defensive backs. He picked UM
over Clemson, Ohio State, FSU
and Georgia.
“I got emotional when Malek
committed to us,” Rumph said.
Of the other incoming defensive
backs, Romeo Finley, Cedric
Wright and Jeff James are safeties, although defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said James
can play some corner.
Former four-star cornerback
JC Jackson had Miami as his
No. 1 choice, according to his
junior college coach. But after
Rumph called him, UM has
stopped recruiting Jackson, who
was acquitted on armed robbery
charges last November.
“We are going to have to grow
up in a hurry at a position (cornerback) where any mistake is
usually a touchdown,” Diaz said.
A Guard Sheldon McClellan
said he’s hearing from NBA people that he’s a late first- or early
second-round pick but they want
him to be more aggressive offensively.

McClellan’s 49.5 shooting
percentage was best among ACC
guards, and he ranked third in
offensive efficiency nationally
among high-usage players. “I’m
proud of how efficient I am,” he
said. “[North Carolina coach]
Roy Williams told me I’m a
great player.” … A big difference
for Angel Rodriguez: He shot
54.9 on two-pointers this season,
compared with 36.9 last.
CHATTER
A Determined to upgrade at
guard, the Dolphins are in ongoing conversations with 49ers free
agent Alex Boone. They’ve also
reached out to J.R. Sweezy and
Geoff Schwartz.
A Even after signing Mario
Williams, the Dolphins remain
very interested in Rams freeagent defensive end William
Hayes. But the market for Hayes
is robust. The Dolphins ideally
want Cam Wake as a pass-rush
specialist, which he likely would
be if Miami landed Hayes.
A One reason the Dolphins
continue to explore adding another linebacker — they like
Bengals free agent Vincent Rey
— is because they don’t view
weakside linebacker Jelani Jenkins as an ideal fit in their defense. But Jenkins will start if

Miami can’t upgrade.
A The Dolphins have shown
interest in re-signing defensive
tackle C.J. Mosley, who was
released Dec. 1 after injuring his
calf.
A If the Dolphins lose Lamar
Miller, they will explore reasonably priced veterans, potentially
including Bilal Powell, Ronnie
Hillman and maybe Matt Forte.
They also like Chris Ivory and
Alfred Morris.
A How much of a gift has Joe
Johnson been to the Heat? He’s
8 for 12 on three-pointers for a
team that was last in the NBA in
three-point shooting when he
signed (31 percent).
Since Jan. 1 (including 25
games for the Nets and five for
the Heat), he’s shooting an absurd 48.2 percent on threes (54
for 112). That’s highest among
NBA players who have taken at
least 60 threes in this calendar
year. Stephen Curry is No. 2.
Also, Johnson is 47 for 51 on
free throws since Jan. 1. “He’s
that missing piece for us,”
Dwyane Wade said.
Goran Dragic said Tuesday
how much “more space” he and
Wade have to “drive and create”
now because defenses “respect
[Johnson’s] shot, can’t close late
on him.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

FIU women win
C-USA opener
From Miami Herald Wire Services

Despite losing a top
scorer in the opening minutes of the game, the FIU
women’s basketball squad
stuck to the game plan and
and beat Texas-San Antonio 61-56 on Tuesday in
the opener of the Conference USA tournament in
Birmingham, Alabama.
The five-point margin
was identical to the Panthers’ last conference win,
a 59-54 win over the Roadrunners in San Antonio on
February 13.
Just 63 seconds into the
game, junior Tianah Alvarado got fouled and hobbled to the free throw line,
refusing to come out.
She hit both for the first
points of the game, but had
to leave the game and
could not return. She averages 13 points per game,
but 17.2 in the team’s last
five contests.
Her status for Wednesday’s game is uncertain.
Senior Taylor Shade and
freshman Kristian Hudson
took over the game. Shade
scored 22 points, with
Hudson adding 16 for the
Panthers (5-25).
“Everybody woke up this
morning in a really good
mood,” Shade said. “I told
the team that we had nothing to lose. When Tianah
went down, we all just had
to find a way to step up.”
“We stuck with everything we needed to do,”
said interim coach Tiara
Malcom. “I told the bench,
‘If we call upon you, just
give us everything you
have.’ The players stuck
with the coaching staff and
believed in us and believed
that we would put them in
a position to succeed.”
The Panthers played the
kind of defense that helped

them beat UTSA (10-19) in
the previous meeting. FIU
held the Roadrunners to
just 26.3 percent from the
field (5 for 19) in the opening period. A balanced
attack saw five Panthers
score in the first and lead
12-11 at the quarter break.
The second quarter started the Panthers’ way, with
FIU pushing the lead out to
four. But the Roadrunners
put together their own run
and got the lead out to
seven with 2:08 to play.
That’s when the Panthers rallied and scored the
half’s final seven point,
capped by a Shade jumper
to tie the score at 28.
WOMEN’S TOP 25
A No. 22 Colorado State
53, San Diego State 41:
Elin Gustavsson had 21
points and seven rebounds
and the Rams (29-1) won
their 26th straight in a
victory over the Aztecs
(12-19) in the quarterfinals
of the Mountain West
Conference tournament in
Las Vegas.
STATE MEN
A FSU 88, Boston College 66: The Eagles (7-25)
wrapped up the first 0-19
season in ACC men’s basketball by losing to Florida
State in the first round of
the conference tournament
in Washington, as Devon
Bookert led the Seminoles
(19-12) with 15 points.
A FAU 82, Texas-San
Antonio 58: Marquan
Botley made five threepointers and scored 24
points and the Owls (8-24)
defeated the Roadrunners
(5-27) in the opener of the
Conference USA tournament in Birmingham, Alabama. The Owls, who ended a six-game losing
streak, play No. 5 seed Old
Dominion on Wednesday.

Jim Larrañaga, UM coach,
on reaching the Final
Four with George Mason

HECTOR GABINO [email protected]

Jim Larrañaga has his UM team practicing for the ACC tournament at George Mason with
the hope that the Hurricanes can capture some of the magic he made there in 2006.

and had no business being
in the Big Dance.
Larrañaga took the team
to the campus library to
see a display of memorabilia from the 2006 Final
Four, and to dinner at
Brion’s Grille, where he
and his wife, Liz, and many of his players and assistant coaches ate after
every game that season.
The Jim Larrañaga Burger (which was slathered in
honey mustard, jack
cheese and banana peppers) was removed from
the menu after he took the
UM job in 2011, but the
memories remain. They
have come flooding back
to the coach in the past
few days.
“It has been very, very
enjoyable to relive all of
this 10 years later,’’ Larrañaga told reporters Monday. “We knew we had
done something very, very
special. The whole nation
adopted us as a Cinderella.

Once we did it, it opened
up the eyes of other midmajor programs. They
started saying, ‘If George
Mason can do it, why not
us?’ ”
Butler went on to make
the Final Four in 2010 and
2011. Virginia Commonwealth did it in 2011, and
Wichita State in 2013.
“It’s like breaking the
four-minute mile barrier,’’
he said. “We did it, and
other mid-majors followed.”
Larrañaga is still revered
in Fairfax. He will be back
on campus in June for
graduation, where he is
being presented the Mason
Medal, the school’s highest honor.
That 2006 Final Four
appearance was such a big
deal that the Washington
Post this week published a
10th anniversary special

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Real Madrid advances to quarterfinals
From Miami Herald Wire Services

Cristiano Ronaldo and
James Rodriguez scored
second-half goals to help
Real Madrid defeat Roma
2-0 and advance to the
Champions League quarterfinals for the sixth consecutive season on Tuesday.
Ronaldo scored his 13th
goal in the competition this
season by turning home a
cross by substitute forward
Lucas Vazquez in the
64th and Rodriguez added
to the lead four minutes
later with a low shot from
inside the area to give

Madrid a 4-0 aggregate
victory.
“It was a difficult game,
but in the end we got our
objective which was to go
through,” Madrid coach
Zinedine Zidane said.
“Over the 90 minutes,
many things could have
happened because we were
up against a team with
good players, but we got
the job done.”
In the other match Tuesday, Andre Schuerrle
scored to send Wolfsburg
to the quarterfinals for the
first time with a 1-0 win at
home over Belgian champion Gent.
Julian Draxler easily

skipped past a defender
and crossed for his fellow
Germany international to
seal a 4-2 victory on aggregate in the 74th minute.
Both sides were playing
in the Round of 16 for the
first time, and Wolfsburg is
just the seventh team to
have progressed in its first
attempt.
In the first match, forward Mohamed Salah
had two incredible opportunities that could have
changed the match if they
had gone in. Striker Edin
Dzeko also was in a good
position to open the scoring but squandered his
chance.

“You can think that if we
had scored first, the game
would have been different,” Roma coach Luciano
Spalletti said. “But the
reality is that we lost 2-0
twice. It’s only right that
Real Madrid will go
through. We’ve got to improve in terms of our mentality and how decisive we
are. We weren’t at the level
we had to be tonight.”
Despite allowing chances
on counterattacks, Madrid
controlled the game at the
Santiago Bernabeu Stadium,
where it is yet to concede a
goal in four Champions
League games this season.
Madrid and Barcelona are

Run in NCAA History.” It
includes interviews with
Larrañaga and his UM
assistants, Chris Caputo
and James Johnson, both
of whom were on his
George Mason staff.
It has been an emotional
week for Caputo and Johnson. When they walked to
center court at practice
Monday, they each gravitated to the same spot on
the circle that they had as
Patriots coaches. They
reminisced about the excitement on campus during that run, and the parade that followed.
Said Caputo: “It reminded me of A Football Life
with Bill Belichick when
he’s walking around Giants Stadium and said, ‘I
was on that treadmill for
so many hours watching
film.’ I spent nine years
here, and I was in my 20s,
so there wasn’t much else
going on in my life, no
family or anything. Great
memories of this place.”
Added Johnson: “Looking up at that banner
brought back so many
memories. I have friends

the only unbeaten teams in
this season’s competition.
Salah’s first chance came
in the 28th minute, when
he sent a shot into the side
netting from a great position inside the area, and
early in the second half he
missed the target from
close range.
A Elsewhere: Olivier
Giroud and Theo Walcott
both scored twice as FA
Cup holder Arsenal easily
eliminated Hull, overcoming the second-tier
side 4-0 to reach the quarterfinals at the second
attempt.
ETC.
A Tennis: Justine Henin and Marat Safin have
been elected to the International Tennis Hall of
Fame. With a classic onehanded backhand, Henin

who have been coaching
25 years and never
coached in a Final Four, so
I’m very grateful. And
seeing all that memorabilia in the library was
great. When Coach L talked to our UM players
about having a chance to
make history with this
team, I had chills.”
Larrañaga will spend the
next several days trying to
toe the balance between
getting his players prepared for intense tournament games, but keeping
them loose at the same
time. On Monday night,
the team ate at a hibachistyle Japanese restaurant
and Larrañaga got the
players laughing when the
chef flung shrimp across
the table into the coach’s
mouth. He caught all
three, though one fell out.
“Better than you guys
shoot free throws, baby,”
he joked.
“I told my players it’s
not about winning, it’s
about enjoying playing,”
Larrañaga said. “Handling
the emotional aspect of the
game at this point of the
season is hugely important.”
And that is what this
visit to George Mason’s
campus is all about, he
said.
“I want to share the
George Mason experience
with them, show what we
were able to accomplish by
being highly motivated and
focused, and then I want us
to be the best Miami Hurricane team we can be.”

won seven Grand Slam
singles titles and an Olympic gold medal and helped
Belgium win its first Fed
Cup championship. She
spent 117 weeks ranked No.
1 and finished the 2003,
2006 and 2007 seasons in
the top spot. Henin won
four French Opens, two
U.S. Opens and one Australian Open despite a
small frame in a game
increasingly dominated by
power.
The enigmatic Safin
earned two major titles —
at the 2000 U.S. Open and
2005 Australian Open —
and briefly reached No. 1.
He is the first Russian
elected to the Hall.
Also in the Hall’s Class

Margaret Scriven were
posthumously elected in

T

he season teetering, the spirit
weakening, Erik
Spoelstra had a
simple, stern message as
the Heat gathered in Atlanta, with just 29 games remaining and Chris Bosh out
indefinitely due to an apparent recurrence of blood
clotting.
“Expectations haven’t
changed,” Spoelstra recalled telling his players
back on Feb. 19. “Pick your
heads up. Don’t put your
head down. For what? No.
Our expectations haven’t
changed. Let’s get to solutions how we’re going to get
this done.”
Sure, there will be some
who portray this recent
Heat run, eight wins and
two losses without the man
that many — including this
writer — deemed its most
essential player, as just a
fortuitous stumble into a
fleeting stretch of success.
And sure, there have been
pleasant surprises, whether
adopting Goran Dragic’s
speedier style, Luol Deng
adapting to power forward,
or Hassan Whiteside accepting a reserve role.
It would be incorrect,
however, to attribute everything to some happy accident.
This is ingrained here.
This organization has
made mistakes, like all
organizations, over the past
21 years, since Micky Arison
put Pat Riley in charge. But
it also made a stand, over
and over.

Series: Heat leads 61-39.
Scouting report: The
teams split the first two
meetings of the season.
PEDRO PORTAL [email protected]

With Chris Bosh sidelined, the Heat’s Luol Deng has adapted
his game to power forward and is thriving at the position.

There’s one attribute that
has separated it from every
other professional sports
franchise in this area during
that period, and from most
in the NBA:
Resilience.
That was the title of Alonzo Mourning’s book, but as
much as he showed that trait
during his Hall of Fame
career, the Heat needed
plenty without him in 200001, the closest comparison to
the current season.
Riley had transformed an
emotionally tired team with
trades that netted Eddie
Jones, Brian Grant and
Anthony Mason.
Then, in training camp,
Mourning was sidelined
with a scary diagnosis (kidney disease) with an unclear prognosis.
For the first dozen games,
Riley, then the head coach,
went conventional, using
journeyman veteran Duane
Causwell at center. Then, in
game 13, at 5-7, he replaced
Causwell with defensive
wing Bruce Bowen, sliding
Mason and Grant up a spot.
Although the payoff
wasn’t immediate, the Heat
did rally to 42-27 before
Mourning came back, finishing at 50-32. That return
proved sticky for some,
especially Mason. Still,
if you merely remember the sour playoff
end, and miss the creative means, you miss
the point.
“It was a phenomenal regular-season

coaching job,” said Spoelstra,
then an assistant coach and
advance scout. “It really was.
Because you just have to look
at what people were saying.
People always forget. We
played an upstart [Charlotte]
in the playoffs and people
just remember those three
losses that were just horrible,
OK. But if you just talk about
the very beginning of the
year, what were people predicting for the Miami Heat?”
After Mourning’s ailment? Doom.
“So now you have a 50win season you put together
by just grinding, questioning, figuring it out, and
putting guys in positions
where they’re maximized,”
Spoelstra said. “You don’t
even know where it will go,
but you are just going to try
to maximize what you have.
You end up having a 50-win
season, well, people were
saying that team was going
to win 30 games. That’s a
great regular season.”
It was a great example,
among many.
David Stern takes Juwan
Howard in 1996. Sign Dan
Majerle, move forward.
Keep losing to the Knicks
in the late 1990s. Keep
getting high seeds for another try.
Miss on Elton Brand with
an offer sheet in 2003.
Land Lamar Odom with
another.
Lose the first seven
games of Stan Van Gundy’s
coaching tenure. Tweak,
regroup, reach the second

........................................................

round.
“You develop a cultural
resiliency,” Spoelstra said.
“When there’s stability and
you know you have an opportunity to grind it and
figure out a solution and not
feel sorry for yourselves or
make any excuses. And
you’ve done it enough times
over the years, that that’s
the deal.”
Spoelstra doesn’t relay all
the lessons. He’s just been
around so many “complex
personality teams, that you
don’t even know subconsciously what’s rubbed off
on you. I’ve seen a lot of
teams that have shown that
resiliency. Everybody has.
We’ve all been here.”
Here they are again.
“Plan B is no excuses,
keep going,” Spoelstra said.
“You don’t go into a season
formulating a Plan B. No.
How can you predict Zo?
How can you predict CB?
How can you predict anything that happens? I
learned that early on from
Pat and from Stan. That
things happen.”
He snapped.
“OK, what’s next?” he
said. “All right, that’s in
that box. How can we keep
this ship moving forward,
and what are the best solutions to do that? … Pat and
Micky are great examples
for all of us.
“They’re as resilient as
they come. One way or
another, Pat’s going to try
to find a way to compete for
it. It may not happen. But
one way or another.”
The one way is forward.

scored 18 points as the
Spurs shot 55.3 percent and
only turned the ball over
nine times.
Andrew Wiggins had 23
points and eight rebounds
for the Timberwolves.
Karl-Anthony Towns had
19 points and nine boards,
and Zach LaVine scored 15
points.
The Spurs haven’t dealt
with much losing this season, and they responded to
their 10th defeat of the
season with a workmanlike dismantling of the
Timberwolves defense.
Even with their three

mainstays out of the lineup
and their peerless coach at
home tending to a family
issue, they didn’t miss a
beat.
“The machine is a welloiled machine,” assistant
Ettore Messina, who has
filled in for Popovich the
last two games, said before
the game. “It goes on. You
try to sit at the wheel and
steer and try not to mess it
up. Keep it straight.”
A Raptors 104, Nets 99:
DeRozan had 25 points,
Kyle Lowry added 23
points and nine assists, and
host Toronto beat Brook-

lyn.
Brook Lopez had 35
points, one shy of his season high, for the Nets, who
lost the season series to the
Raptors for the first time
since 2009-10.
The Raptors rallied from
a 16-point halftime deficit
to get back on track at
home after their franchiserecord, 12-game home win
streak ended Sunday
against Houston.
Toronto’s 58-42 halftime
hole equaled its biggest of

at Golden State in November.

Nice 1st impression for Hudler at home
BY GEORGE RICHARDS

[email protected]

Jiri Hudler strolled into
the Panthers locker room
Monday night, a baseball
cap bearing his new logo
pulled tight on his head.
Hudler’s first home game
with the Panthers didn’t go
exactly as he had hoped, but
it wasn’t too bad.
Acquired on Feb. 27 in a
deal with Calgary, Hudler
has only played in three
games with the Panthers
because of delays in acquiring a United States work
permit.
In Monday’s 5-4 overtime
loss to the Bruins at BB&T
Center, Hudler got the
Panthers going with his first
goal of the night to make
the score 4-2.
With 4:43 left in the
game, Hudler’s second goal
of the evening tied the score
at 4 and helped Florida
force overtime and all but
steal a point in the standings. Florida had trailed 4-1
going into the second period.

“It wasn’t pretty; there
was a lot of talking, a lot of
yelling,” Hudler said when
asked to describe the Florida locker room during the
first intermission.
“As you saw, we were
good in the second and
third. We need to play that
way all the time.”
The Panthers have only
had their three new acquisitions in the lineup at the
same time once, and that
game wasn’t all that memorable.
Florida may have traded
for Hudler, Teddy Purcell
and Jakub Kindl on the
same day, but immigration
issues, a healthy scratch in
Winnipeg for Kindl and now
a slight groin injury for
Purcell have kept the three
apart save for Saturday’s 5-1
loss in Arizona.
The Panthers hope to
have Purcell back in the
lineup Thursday and place
him on a line with Hudler
and Nick Bjugstad.
As for Hudler, he would
like to keep his Sunrise
scoring pace going when the
Senators come to town

Brad Marchand scored
10 seconds into overtime,
Jonas Gustavsson made 42

pass from the right wing

through the slot that Marchand redirected past Ben
Bishop.
Boston and Tampa Bay
both have 83 points but the
Bruins have played one
more game.
Bishop stopped 32 shots.
Gustavsson, subbing for
starter Tuukka Rask, improved to 11-5-1 this season
with his seventh career
shutout.

Thursday. He almost had a
hat trick on Monday as he
had one big scoring chance
snuffed out by Boston goalie
Tuukka Rask.
“He’s a good goalie,” he
said. “It would have been
nice getting a third one, but
getting a point out of the
night was huge.”
A Jaromir Jagr passed
Gordie Howe for third alltime on the NHL’s scoring
list and now has former

Edmonton, New York Rangers and Vancouver captain
Mark Messier in sight.
Messier is second in points,
36 points ahead of Jagr.
“It’s more for you guys,”
Jagr referred to the media
when mentioning hitting
another NHL milestone.
“It’s just behind me now.
Let’s focus now on the
wins.”
A Goalie Roberto Luongo
was pulled from Monday’s

Mats Zuccarello had a goal
and two assists, and New
York edged host Buffalo
after nearly blowing a
three-goal lead.
J.T. Miller sealed the
victory with a backhander
into an empty net with a
minute left after he lost a
glove on the rush up the
right wing. Derrick Brassard and Jesper Fast also
scored for New York,
which extended its winning
streak over Buffalo to nine.
A Blue Jackets 5, Red
Wings 3: Cam Atkinson
scored twice in the third
period and Boone Jenner
had a goal and an assist
while host Columbus held
off Detroit.
David Clarkson and

David Savard also scored
for the Jackets, and Joonas

Atkinson’s empty-netter
with 17.5 seconds left secured the win.
A Hurricanes 4, Senators 3 (SO): Rookie Jaccob Slavin scored in the
fourth round of the shootout, and host Carolina beat
Ottawa.
Jeff Skinner scored twice
for Carolina, including one
with 0.2 seconds remaining to force overtime, and
Jay McClement had a
short-handed goal. Carolina won a shootout for
the first time this season.
A Islanders 2, Penguins
1: Anders Lee scored the
tiebreaking goal in the

game not long after Florida
fell behind 4-1.
In the second period,
backup Al Montoya skated
out to the net and took his
place. Florida’s porous defense was to blame, coach
Gerard Gallant said afterward, as the Panthers
looked slow and sloppy in
the opening period.
Boston not only opened
the scoring 34 seconds in,
but led 3-0 midway through
the period.
Pulling Luongo seemed to
be be done out of mercy.
A Gallant said he wasn’t
all that happy Florida fell
behind 4-1 but was pretty
proud of his team for fighting back and at least picking
up a point in the standings.
“It’s not the result we
wanted, but it was better
than the way it started,”
Gallant said. “It was disappointing in the first period, but we battled back and
played a real good 40 [minutes].”

Marlins to play Braves at Fort Bragg Alvarez, Orioles
BY ANDRE C. FERNANDEZ

[email protected]
JUPITER

The Marlins have been
chosen by Major League
Baseball to be a part of a
historic salute to servicemen and servicewomen as
part of its weekend festivities leading up to Independence Day.
The Marlins’ July 3 road
game against the Braves will
be played at the Fort Bragg
military installation in North
Carolina at 8 p.m. and will
be shown on ESPN.
The game has been
dubbed the “Fort Bragg
Game” and will be played

at a new 12,500-capacity
ballpark and be the first
regular season game of any
pro sport to be played on
an active military base.
“It sounds like a lot of
fun,” Marlins manager
Don Mattingly said. “Over
the past few years, our
country has done a lot
better job of honoring our
military. There are a lot of
heroes there that have paid
a heavy price so it feels
good to honor them by
playing a game there.”
Following the game, the
ballpark will be converted
to a permanent softball
field and multipurpose
facility for those who serve
at Fort Bragg, a gift courte-

MARLINS
have lost someone they
expected to be a vital piece
of their late-inning relief.
Capps posted a 1.16 ERA
last season and struck out
58 batters in 31 innings in a
setup role last season. His
16.84 strikeouts per nine
innings was tops among all
relievers in the majors,
leading the Yankees’ Aroldis Chapman (15.74).
“We have some with
power arms and that opens
up that opportunity,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “But it’s definitely a
loss. Carter was as dominant as you could get last
year.”
Capps missed the final
two months of last season
on the disabled list with a
right elbow sprain and
spent time on the DL in
2014 for the same reason,
appearing in only 17 games.
Capps saw Andrews then,
but did not have surgery.
Hill said Andrews confirmed the initial examination by team doctor Lee
Kaplan, which prompted

the need for surgery.
“We always say you can
never have enough depth
and we like the arms we
have in camp,” Hill said.
“This is an opportunity for
someone to step up into
that role.”
Hill said Capps’ recovery
period is expected to be
about 10 to 12 months,
shorter than the usual recovery time for starting
pitchers, and the team
hopes to have him back for
Opening Day in 2017.
“Each guy is a different
case, but barring no set
backs, it does seem like the
relievers come back quicker,” Mattingly said. “You
don’t have to work them
back up to pitch 100 innings. It’s about the short
term and quick burst. That
being said it’s still a medical thing and we’ll see how
it goes.”
Hill said the team is open
to the possibility of making
a move for a late-inning
reliever, but the relievers
currently in camp are get-

sy of the Major League
Clubs and Players.
“We’re going to be playing a game, but the purpose of this is to honor
everything they do for us,”
pitcher Tom Koehler said.
Mike Dunn visited Fort
Bragg in February 2014 as
part of a pre-spring training
salute to the military that
was organized by Fox
Sports. Dunn was among a
contingent of current and
former players that included Tampa Bay Rays
pitcher Chris Archer.
“Just being able to go
through the everyday process with them was awesome,” Dunn said. “We
were up at 4 a.m. every day

and worked out. But just
being able to have breakfast
and lunch with those guys
and be there with them and
see what they do on a dayto-day basis was great.”
For left fielder Christian
Yelich, the trip promises to
be special on a personal
level. His 20-year-old
brother, Cameron, is serving with the Marines and is
stationed in Japan.
“It’s going to be great to
be there on a military base
and probably a unique
experience,” Yelich said. “I
appreciate everything the
troops do for us. With
someone in my family in
the service, it’s going to be
extra special for me.”

ting every opportunity.
Ramos, who posted 32
saves last season after
taking over for Steve Cishek, would likely retain his
job as closer. Ramos has
also dealt with injury this
spring, not yet being able
to appear in a game because of stiffness in his
right calf.
Bryan Morris, Kyle
Barraclough and Brian
Ellington all appear to be
viable options for lateinning relief as hard-throwing right-handers, with
Mike Dunn, a reliable lefty
option.

KOEHLER SHARPER
Tom Koehler, who surrendered three runs (two
earned) in 1 2⁄3 innings in
his first start, pitched three
scoreless innings in a 1-0
win Tuesday against the
Yankees. Koehler threw 45
pitches (24 for strikes),
struck out one, walked one
and allowed three hits.
Chris Johnson broke up a
scoreless stalemate in the
bottom of the seventh for
the game’s lone run.
The Marlins were held
hitless for six innings until
Don Kelly hit a bloop single
to center after Derek Dietrich drew a walk from
Yankees reliever Nick
Rumbelow. Johnson then
singled to left to drive in
Dietrich.

STANTON DAY-TO-DAY
Giancarlo Stanton was
not in the lineup Tuesday
against the Yankees. Stanton did not make the trip to
Viera because of soreness
in his right knee — the
same one that required
surgery to remove bone
chips in 2012.
Hill said no MRI was
planned for Stanton, who
has played in two Grapefruit League games so far
and gone 1 for 3 with a
walk against the Cardinals
in his last appearance Saturday.

Infielder Pedro Alvarez and the Baltimore
Orioles have agreed to a
$5.75 million, one-year
contract, a person familiar
with the negotiations said
Tuesday.
The person spoke on
condition of anonymity to
The Associated Press
because the deal had not
yet been completed by the
Orioles.
Baltimore likely will
give Alvarez the bulk of
his playing time at designated hitter. His arrival
probably means Mark
Trumbo will play right
field.
Orioles manager Buck
Showalter said Trumbo
has been taking outfield
practice throughout spring
training
“We knew that a possible addition might come,
and we want to be able to
not wait until the end,”
Showalter said in Sarasota.
Alvarez was shifted from
third base to first by Pittsburgh in August 2014 because of poor defense. He
became a free agent in
December when the Pirates
declined to offer a contract
because they didn’t want to
pay what he would earn in
salary arbitration.
Orioles first baseman
Chris Davis was pleased
with Alvarez’s addition.
“Any time you add a
player like that, it’s obviously exciting,” he said.
“We’ve got a lot of power
potential on this team. We
did before, but we just
keep adding to it. I’m sure
he’s excited to finally have
a place to call home and
finally get after it.”

postponed the second

opinion on shortstop
Jhonny Peralta’s injured
left thumb until Wednesday. Peralta was at Roger
Dean Stadium in Jupiter
on Tuesday and didn’t
specify why he had not
gone to St. Louis for an
additional exam. He said
if the second opinion concurred with the initial
diagnosis, he’d have surgery.
Peralta said All-Star

who had two thumb operations in the offseason,
advised him it might be

surgery on Wednesday.
Altherr was a front-runner
to be the starting right
fielder on opening day.
“We’re hopeful he'll be
back before the end of the
season,” Klentak said.
The 25-year-old Altherr
hurt himself diving for a
ball last Friday. He went
back to Philadelphia on
Sunday and received two
different opinions, with
both doctors recommending surgery.
A Cubs: NL Cy Young
Award winner Jake Arrieta said he has talked with
Chicago about a long-term
contract.
Arrieta went 22-6 with a

deal that avoided salary
arbitration.

Alex Morgan.
The youngest American
player — and one of the
most dynamic — is 17-yearold Mallory Pugh of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, who
has a team-high four assists
since joining the team in
January. Pugh is captain of
the U.S. under-20 team, led
that team to a berth in the
2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s
World Cup, and has signed
to play for UCLA next fall.
U.S. coach Jill Ellis, a
Palmetto Bay resident,
called Pugh into senior
national camp in January,
and she scored in her debut
on Jan. 23 against Ireland,
becoming the youngest
woman to play for the United States in 11 years. A few
weeks later, she became the
youngest U.S. player in an
Olympic qualifying match.
Pugh has started five
consecutive matches and
had a huge assist on Alex
Morgan’s game-winning
goal in stoppage time
against France on Sunday.
“She did really well this
game,” Morgan said of

Pugh. “She takes players on
1-v-1; she passes when she
needs to. I think she has
great decision-making, so I
knew when she took that
ball down, I just needed to
get my butt past the defenders, and Mal played me in
perfectly. All I needed to do
is put it past the keeper.”
Ellis has been pleased
with Pugh, as well, and
doesn’t seem to have any
reservation about starting
her.
“I thought all day her
separation was excellent,”
Ellis said after the France
victory. “And she obviously
picked up that ball and
played a great through ball.
So I’m really pleased with
where she’s come in this
tournament because I think
it’s not just the mental
piece, it’s also the physical
dimension of these games
that’s brand-new to her at
this level. She’s handled it
masterfully.”
Another new player to
watch is 5-1 Crystal Dunn,
who scored the late gamewinning goal against England in the SheBelieves Cup
opener. Dunn, Lloyd and
Morgan lead the team with
seven goals apiece in 2016.
Tickets to Wednesday’s
doubleheader are available
through Ticketmaster.

UM baseball tops
Maine, wins fifth
game in a row
From Miami Herald Wire Reports

The University of Miami
baseball team extended its
winning streak to five consecutive games Tuesday
with a 6-2 victory over
Maine at Alex Rodriguez
Park at Mark Light Field.
With Miami leading just
2-1 in the middle innings, a
four-run seventh — which
included an RBI single
from junior Jacob Heyward
and a two-RBI single from
junior Willie Abreu — ballooned the lead to 6-1.
Heyward tied a career
high with three hits (3 for
3). He reached base in all
four plate appearances.
Junior Randy Batista,
making only his fourth
start of the season for Miami, drove in the go-ahead
run in the sixth with a
single that put the Hurricanes ahead for good.
Sophomore Jesse Lepore
pitched six innings to earn
a win for his second
straight outing. Lepore
struck out six and walked
just one.
A Stetson 8, FIU 5: Matt
Morales’s two-run double
in the top of the fourth
inning lifted the Hatters
(7-6) over the host Panthers (5-9).

four wild card spots were
granted to Kyle Edmund of
Great Britain, Andrey Rublev of Russia, Elias Ymer

UF FOOTBALL

Harris, Callaway
get suspended
BY JESSE SIMONTON

Miami Herald Writer
GAINESVILLE

The Florida Gators open
spring practice Wednesday, but two notable Miami
natives won’t be in camp
anytime soon.
Star receiver Antonio
Callaway and former starting quarterback Treon
Harris are suspended indefinitely for undisclosed
reasons.
UF coach Jim McElwain
refused to discuss specifics
and offered no time line,
only saying that the former
Miami Booker T. Washington High standouts haven’t
participated in offseason
workouts since January and
“are still taking care of
some schoolwork and other
stuff.”
School officials confirmed both players are
enrolled in spring classes,
but it remains unknown
whether Callaway and
Harris are currently suspended by the university or
the football program.
When pressed on the
players’ status, McElwain
repeatedly said, “That’s
the last we’ll talk about it.”
The coach then added:
“I’m excited about all of
the guys that are going to
be here as we more forward to spring practice.”
Callaway’s absence is a
big blow for an offense that
scored just two touchdowns during Florida’s
three-game losing streak to
end the 2015 season. For
the second consecutive
spring, the Gators are
searching for a starting
quarterback, too.
According to McElwain,
former Oregon State transfer Luke Del Rio enters
camp with “a leg up” on
Purdue graduate transfer
Austin Appleby and early
enrollees Feleipe Franks
and Kyle Trask. But now
Florida’s quarterback com-

petition will commence
without its top receiver.
Last season, Callaway
emerged as UF’s most
dynamic playmaker since
Percy Harvin, recording
678 receiving yards and
four touchdowns. The
freshman also set a school
record for punt-return
yardage, adding two return
touchdowns, including a
score in the Southeastern
Conference championship
game. Callaway even threw
a touchdown pass to Harris
in Florida’s loss to Michigan in the Citrus Bowl.
Without Callaway, McElwain hopes underperforming veteran wideouts Ahmad Fulwood and Alvin
Bailey step up. The Gators
are also seeking production
from a trio of their schoolrecord 13 midyear enrollees: junior college playmaker ’Dre Massey and
freshman receivers Josh
Hammond and Freddie
Swain.
Tuesday’s news marks
the third time Harris has
been suspended at UF.
Last year, he missed the
Tennessee game for a
violation of team rules. In
2014, Harris was suspended for a sexual-assault
allegation that was
eventually withdrawn.
He started the final eight
games of 2015 after starter
Will Grier was suspended
for violating the NCAA’s
performance-enhancing
drug policy on Oct. 12.
Florida’s offense sputtered
almost immediately, and
the Gators went 4-4 down
the stretch.
Harris finished the year
with 1,676 yards, nine
touchdown passes and six
interceptions. The sophomore completed just 50.6
percent of his passes and
was rumored to transition
to receiver this spring, with
McElwain saying Tuesday,
“Possibly. We’ll see about
that. We’ll talk about it
when it happens.”

DEAR ABBY

Porn-viewer may be
more than curious

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Dear Abby: I’ve been
with my fiance for three
years and I’m very much
in love. A few months ago
I asked to use his phone
to look up something on
the Internet because my
battery had died. It opened
up to a gay porn site! I was
shocked and asked him if it
was something he was looking at. He admitted that it
was.
Nothing like this has
happened to me before,
so I began asking if that’s
what he likes and is into.
He assured me the answer
was no. He said he looked
because he was simply
curious about it. He told
me he loves women and
doesn’t want to be with
men. He said he was just
looking.
I believe him, but is
this normal behavior?
— Weirded out in the West

Dear Weirded Out:
I took your question to an
expert on the subject of
adult entertainment viewing, Larry Flynt. He said
that while CURIOSITY is
normal, not many heterosexual men make a habit
of viewing gay male porn
sites. He added that if
your fiance is a regular
consumer of this kind of
entertainment, he may
have latent homosexual
tendencies.
I then consulted Jack
Drescher, M.D., a psychoanalyst and expert on
gender and sexuality,
who told me that some
people fantasize about
people of the same sex,
but never ACT on it.
According to Dr. Drescher,
what is important is that
you and your fiance are
able to talk about sex honestly and openly. If you
need more assurances,
continue this discussion
so that you both will know
what you’re getting if
your betrothal leads to
marriage.
Contact Dear Abby at www.
DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440,
Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Teacher who left career to care for son wants to rejoin workforce
Dear Carolyn: Four
years ago, I left my teaching career to care for my
son, who needed a great
deal of medical care. He
has been doing well and
no longer requires my constant attention. I would like
to go back to my old career.
My family, both immediate and extended, are not
openly supportive of this.
Over the years, they have
become increasingly reliant on me to take the lead

my children. My husband
and parents, with good
intentions, essentially tell
me that I am more valuable
outside of my profession.

Every holiday, I listen to
aunts and cousins tell me
how lucky I am that I don’t
“have” to work.
All of this translates into
me feeling unsupported.
I know I can’t be professionally successful without
support.
How do I begin to take
steps away from this primary caregiving role? I
never intended for this to
be a permanent situation.
— Trying to Find
Balance

Remind your husband
that you never intended
this arrangement to be
permanent, and kindly
tell him you’re applying to
teach next fall — because
you won’t stay in a role
that doesn’t fit just because
people have gotten comfortable with you in it.
You mentally tell everyone else with an opinion
about your value to stuff
that opinion someplace
dark and remote.
And you notify yourself

that you can in fact be professionally successful without your family’s support.
Support is a lovely thing
to have — and to give, so
don’t get me started on
people who think they
have a right to withhold
it because they prefer to
have you waiting on them
instead of doing work that
fulfills you. But support is
not necessary.
The list of necessities for
your professional success is

ORANGE
or Cara Caras, which have
a stunning pink hue.
You could simply eat an
orange on its own and call
it dessert, but drizzle a
honey syrup luxuriously
over the fruit, and suddenly it really feels like one.
The syrup is a combination
of honey and lemon juice
that amplifies the citrus’
dueling sweet-tart flavors.
It also imparts another
dimension because it is
steeped briefly with a sprig
of mint, so the drizzle is
infused with a subtle minty
note.
The orange slices are
sprinkled lightly with
freshly ground black pepper. Yes, pepper; that is not
a typo. It might seem out of
place, but once you try it,
you will see how much
sense it makes. The spice
doesn’t add an overwhelming pepper flavor; rather it
blends in to make the dish
more complex and compelling.
A scattering of buttery,
bright-green pistachios and
ribbons of mint adds a
tasty confetti to this healthful celebration of a dessert.

fied, apply, be hired, and
do your job well.
Good for you for giving
your son what he needed,
and congratulations on
doing your full-timecaretaking job so well that
people embraced you in it
completely. Resuming your
old career won’t strand or
displace anyone; you’re
just taking that same
unselfishness, warmth and
competence where your
heart says you need to go,
as you’re entitled to do.

Oranges With Mint-Infused Honey
and Pistachios
⁄4 cup honey
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 small sprig fresh mint, plus 4 to 6 mint leaves for garnish
3 tablespoons shelled, unsalted pistachios
4 oranges, such as Cara Cara, navel or blood orange
Freshly ground black pepper
1

Combine the honey, lemon juice and the sprig of mint in a
small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the honey
dissolves. Once the mixture begins to bubble at the edges,
remove it from the heat; let it steep for 10 minutes, then discard
the mint.
Toast the pistachios in a small, dry skillet over medium heat,
stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3
minutes. Pour them onto a cutting board to cool completely,
then coarsely chop them.
Slice off the tops and bottoms of the oranges, then cut down
the sides of the fruit to remove all skin and white pith. Cut each
orange horizontally into 5 or 6 rounds. Stack the remaining mint
leaves and roll them up tightly; cut crosswise to create thin
ribbons.
Arrange the orange rounds on a platter or divide among
individual plates. Drizzle them with the mint-infused honey.
Sprinkle lightly with pepper, then scatter the toasted pistachios
and the ribbons of mint on top.

Salad Of Beet Greens With Walnuts

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
small, tender leaves as a
1
⁄4 cup walnut oil
raw garnish or salad base.
Salt and freshly ground pepIf the leaves are larger, or
per
even the slightest bit tough, 4 cups beet greens (from
as with kale, massage them
about two bunches),

with a little vinaigrette or
oil and salt; the rubbing
tenderizes the leaves, as
with cooking, and mutes
their dominant notes. And
if you’ve grown weary of
kale lately, just think beyond smoothies and kale
chips — the stuff is incredibly versatile.
Many winter greens
adapt particularly well to
grilling or charring. Halve
or quarter a head of endive
or escarole and throw it on
the grill; the direct heat
quickly caramelizes the
leaves to bring out the
vegetables’ sweetness.
Some greens, such as chard
or spigarello — a relative of
the broccoli family often
found in Italian cooking —
can be quickly wilted or
sauteed, or even added at
the last minute to a soup or
stew, lending bright color
and only mildly aggressive
flavor. Other varieties, such
as mustards and older or
larger-leafed vegetables,
benefit from low and slow
cooking, their peppery
notes and tougher textures
yielding with time.
You’ll find that many
recipes call for separating
the leaves from their thick
stems before cooking. Fibrous stems break down
more slowly than the more
delicate leaves, which is
why many preparations
involve cooking the stems
first, then adding the
greens toward the end of
the recipe.
Even the toughest winter
greens require delicate
care, and you’ll want to use
them within a day or so
after bringing them home.
Look for leaves that are
crisp and vibrant and store
the greens, unwashed and
refrigerated in a plastic bag
before using. Wash the
greens well right before
preparing, to get rid of any
dirt or pests in the nooks
and crannies.
The next time
you bring home a
bunch of colorful
beets or turnip
roots, save the
tops. Consider
cooking them
or adding
them to a
salad — or
more — for
flavor and
nutrients.
And with
the current
focus on
combating
food waste,
you might
even feel virtuous — deservedly so.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, oil, a
heaping 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Place the
beet greens in a large bowl and pour over 1 to 2 tablespoons of
the vinaigrette. Massage the vinaigrette into the greens. As the
greens soften, they will shrink in volume and darken in color. Set
aside. To the remaining vinaigrette, whisk in the creme fraiche,
chives and tarragon. This makes about 1 cup dressing, more
than is needed for the remainder of the recipe; the dressing will
keep, covered and refrigerated, up to 3 days. Toss the greens
with the shallots, along with 3 more tablespoons of the dressing,
or enough to lightly coat the greens. Arrange the salad on a

Pinch dried oregano, divided

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saucepan, heat 1
tablespoon oil over medium heat. Sweat the onion, minced
garlic, red pepper flakes and paprika for 3 minutes. Stir in the
peppers, thyme and rosemary sprigs and continue to cook for 5
minutes to marry the flavors. Add the tomatoes, sugar, 1⁄4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper, and simmer until the
peppers are soft and the sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes
(try to leave the tomatoes intact). When the tomato mixture is
almost ready, cook the chard: In a large cast-iron skillet heated
over medium-high heat, melt the butter along with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Add the smashed garlic, Swiss chard, a
generous 1⁄4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper and
saute until the chard is wilted, about 4 minutes. Remove and
discard the rosemary and thyme sprigs from the tomato mixture, then spoon it over the cooked chard. Make 6 little indentations and break the eggs into them. Sprinkle over half of
the thyme, parsley and tarragon leaves, as well as half of the
oregano. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the yolks
are just set, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle over the remaining herbs
and serve immediately.

Hand Pies With
Mustard Greens
And Spanish
Chorizo

A hand pie with
Mustard Greens and
Spanish Chorizo

4 1 / 2 cups (19.2 ounces) flour
Generous 2 teaspoons salt,
plus more for seasoning the
filling
2 tablespoons sugar
1 / 2 cup cold shortening
1 cup (2 sticks) cold butter, cut
into 1 / 2-inch cubes
4 1 / 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
8 to 12 tablespoons ice water,
more if needed
1 (1-pound) bunch mustard
greens, trimmed and
washed
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
4 ounces Spanish chorizo,
diced
1 / 4 cup dry white wine
1 large boiling potato, cut into
1 / 4-inch dice (peeled or
unpeeled)
1 cup chicken broth, divided
1 1 / 2 cups grated Manchego
cheese
2 eggs, beaten
Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt
and sugar. Add the shortening and incorporate using a pastry
cutter or fork (the dough will look like moist sand). Cut in the
butter just until it is reduced to pea-sized pieces. Sprinkle the
vinegar and 8 tablespoons water over the mixture, and stir
together until the ingredients are combined to form a dough.
Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead a few
times until it comes together in a single mass. If the dough is
too crumbly and dry, gently work in additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Mold the dough into a disk roughly 8 inches in
diameter. Cover the disk tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate
at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Bring a large pot of salted
water to a boil. Add the greens to the water and boil until
they’re tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain the greens, then shock in
a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again
and run through a salad spinner to remove any excess water.
Chop the greens coarsely and set aside. Heat a large saute pan
over medium-high heat until hot. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil,
then the onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is
softened and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and
cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Stir in the chorizo and
cook until it is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the white
wine and simmer, stirring to scrape any flavoring from the
bottom of the pan, until the wine is almost completely evaporated or absorbed. Remove from heat and spoon the filling
into a bowl. In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons
olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the potato and cook,
stirring frequently, until it just begins to brown. Stir in 1⁄2 cup
broth. Cover the pan and steam the potato until the pieces are
crisp-tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the
greens and remaining broth and cook, stirring frequently, until
the broth and any liquid from the greens are almost completely
absorbed, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir the potatoes
and greens in with the chorizo mixture. Stir in the cheese. Cover
the bowl and refrigerate the filling until it is chilled, about 1
hour. Divide the prepared pie dough into 12 even pieces, about
3 ounces each, and shape each into a small disk. On a lightly
floured board, carefully roll each piece into a circle about 6
inches in diameter and about one-eighth-inch thick. The dough
will be flaky and will probably crack on the edges; without
working the dough too much, gently mold the dough with your
hands as it’s rolled to form as perfect a circle as possible. Carefully set the circle aside and continue rolling until all of the
circles are formed. Assemble the hand pies: Brush the inside of
each circle with a very light coating of beaten egg, brushing all
the way to the edge of the circle. Place roughly one-fourth cup
of the filling in the center of each circle, slightly off to one side
(to make it easier to fold over the dough to form the hand pie),
but leaving a 1-inch border around the edge on one side. Carefully – this can be tricky – fold over half of the dough, lining up
the edges to form a half-circle; you may need to support the
dough as it’s folded over to keep it from cracking. Gently press
down the edges to seal the pie. Trim the edges to clean them
up, or gently brush the top of the edge of each pie, then fold
the edge in again for a cleaner-looking side. Continue until all of
the pies are formed. Place the prepared pies on a parchmentlined baking sheet and refrigerate them, uncovered, for 30
minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the
chilled pies and brush them with the egg wash. Use a small knife
to slash 2 to 3 small steam vents in the top of each pie. Bake the
pies on the center rack until the pastry is puffed and golden
brown, about 30 minutes. Rotate the pies halfway through
baking for even coloring. Cool on a rack. The pies can be
served warm or at room temperature.
Yield: Makes 12 pies

stirring occasionally, until the
bacon is crisp and the fat is
rendered. Strain the bacon
from the fat in the pan, and
drain the excess fat, leaving
only 3 tablespoons fat in the
pot. Stir in the garlic, then the
greens, a handful at a time.
Continue stirring until all of
the greens have been added

Art Smith
comes home
BY KELLI KENNEDY

Associated Press

Art Smith is coming home. The celebrity
chef who has served his famous fried chicken to Oprah Winfrey and four U.S. presidents is returning to his birthplace in Jasper,
Florida. And he’s bringing along his entourage — a husband and five children — as he
works to reinvigorate this city of just 1,600
people.
Smith and his husband, Jesus Salgueiro
— who married five years ago in an overthe-top D.C. wedding that included a performance by Moby — have long been fixtures on the celebrity scene. Smith spent
nearly a decade as Winfrey’s personal chef
(and she introduced him to his new pal
Lady Gaga), has served a vegetarian version
of his fried chicken to the Dali Lama, and
recently catered an after-party for Sofia
Vergara and Joe Manganiello’s wedding at
The Breakers.
Much of his focus in recent years has
been on creating healthier versions of indulgent foods. He dropped 125 pounds four
years ago and even ran two marathons, but
he saw the weight creeping back. Recently,
he began a new exercise regimen and lost
45 pounds. But he still loves his classic fried
Southern food.
“You can’t tell people who have been making this food for centuries to stop making it. …
I’m not going to do it. I think you can have
stupendous fried chicken that comes from a
humane place,” served with fresh, raw vegetables and lower calorie sides.
The Florida Garden and Kitchen School is

restaurants Smith is planning to open in

You never know what you’re gonna get from Sacha
Baron Cohen. The British prankster who brought us
such zany, envelope-pushing characters as Borat,
Brüno, and Ali G screened his latest movie, The Brothers Grimsby, for FIU students on Sunday night at
Cinepolis Coconut Grove, dressed as a full-on cowboy.
In this movie, opening Friday, the British actor plays
an over-the-top soccer hooligan.
Cohen told WSVN-TV jokingly that there were a few
casualties during the making of Brothers. “We got like
the main stunt guys from Marvel, they’re doing the
stuff. Unfortunately, 14 of them got killed during the
making of this, but I sent chocolates and a signed photo to their family.” LOL?
Cohen had quite the trip. The next day — as his
current mutton-chops-sporting character Nobby — he
crashed the Baywatch set in Miami Beach, and mingled with the likes of Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.
The Rock posted the zany experience on his
Instagram account: “WTF craziness & fun go to a
whole new level on our #BAYWATCH set when our
boy Sacha Baron Cohen (in character) stops by.” Cohen showed the guys a particularly graphic scene involving elephants, Johnson reported. “There are some
things in life we can’t ever UN-see... what we just witnessed will no doubt make cinematic history. We now
have a ‘deeper’ understanding and respect for elephants....”

I FELT RIDICULOUS

TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTS

PRIMETIME
8 PM _ Rosewood Pippy’s (Gabrielle
Dennis) past resurfaces because of a
death that prompts her to volunteer
for the investigation in the new episode “Negative Autopsies & New Partners.” Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz) doesn’t
click with a new partner, but tries to
stay on the down-low after her role in
denying Hornstock (Domenick Lombardozzi) his promotion. Rosewood
(Morris Chestnut) considers a new cardiologist. Mackenzie Astin, Joy Bryant
and Tia Mowry-Hardrict guest star.
9 PM $ The Victoria’s Secret Swim
Special The “Angels” move beyond
their traditional holiday-season fash-

Lily Aldridge is among those featured in 'The Victoria's Secret Swim Special' Wednesday on CBS.

ion show again with this new offering,
staged on the island of St. Barth’s in
the French West Indies — a perfectly
exotic setting for the lovely ladies to
pose for a catalog shoot. Lily Aldridge,
Martha Hunt, Taylor Hill, Stella Maxwell
and Candice Swanepoel are among
those who go before the cameras and
discuss their careers. There’s music,
too, supplied by guest stars Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato.
9 PM * Modern Family Everything’s
ducky — literally — for Phil (Ty Burrell)
in “She Crazy,” as his effort to help
duck eggs hatch draws little interest
from other family members, except
for Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons).

Claire (Julie Bowen) fears her professional ideas will be dismissed by Jay
(Ed O’Neill) and his colleagues. Gloria
and Manny (Sofia Vergara, Rico Rodriguez) prove to be great resources for
each other. Eric Stonestreet and Jesse
Tyler Ferguson also star.
9 PM 7 Democratic Debate While Univision hasn’t been a frequent player
among networks presenting the current round of presidential debates,
it does get in on the action with this
event from Miami, Fla., co-sponsored
by The Washington Post. Simply by
virtue of which network is hosting the
debate, issues of concern to Hispanic
voters are sure to receive major focus

in the panel’s questioning of former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
10 PM, 11 PM (WGN-A) Underground
Long recounted through history lessons, the saga of the Underground
Railroad and those who operated
and benefited from it is dramatized
in a new series, which counts singer
John Legend among its executive
producers. Not surprisingly, he has a
pivotal role in the show’s music. The
ensemble cast includes Mykelti Williamson, “Law & Order: Special Victims
Unit” alum Christopher Meloni, Reed
Diamond, Aldis Hodge (“Leverage”),
Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Marc Blucas.

ANSWER TO TUESDAY’S PUZZLE:

The Britsh Houses of Lords
and Commons meet each other
in an interparliamentary struggle
in England every year. The
House of Lords won this year’s
match, and now lead the series
22-19.
Some of the deals they play are
set up with a subtle point in mind.
Today’s deal first appeared in a
large pairs competition and featured a challenge for declarer.
At many tables, South opened
one club in third seat, and West
overcalled one spade — a bid
that should have influenced
declarer’s line of play. As South,
how do you play three no-trump
after a low spade lead, the six, to
East’s jack?
Many declarers quickly took
the king, unblocked the heart
king and tried to force an entry to
dummy with a diamond. This line
failed when East took the king
and fired back a spade to leave
declarer with five losers. After a
one-spade overcall, it is clear that
spades are going to break 5-2 (or
even 6-1), so it cannot cost to let
the spade jack hold the first trick.
If declarer does that, then the
game can no longer be defeated.
A spade return is won by West’s
10, but that player has no further
play. If he abandons spades,
declarer can always make five
hearts, two diamonds and two
clubs for his contract. If he cashes
the spade ace, declarer again
comes to nine tricks by unblocking hearts and leading up to the
diamond queen.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS WEDNESDAY, MARCH
9, 2016: Take a bold step forward when dealing
with partnerships. Share your thoughts and don’t
be afraid to negotiate in order to maintain equality and balance. Presenting what you have to offer
longterm will put you in a good position.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Combine insight
and originality with charm and you will achieve
your objective. Using your talents in different ways
will pay off by opening up a market that you never
realized was available to you. 3 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be inquisitive and
show an interest and concern in what others say
and do. Networking will open doors personally and
professionally. Sharing your feelings openly will
help you find out exactly where you stand. 4 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Set a budget and
don’t deviate from it, and you will be able to invest
in something that benefits you and your loved
ones. Put yourself first and don’t trust someone
who is offering a fast-cash scheme. 2 stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll overreact to
what others say or do, putting you in a vulnerable
position. Don’t share personal information. The
observations you make will help you move your
plans forward. 5 stars
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t trust everyone.
Stick to your plans and you will prosper. Do things
on your own to deter anyone from taking credit for
your ideas and hard work. 3 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Step into the spotlight and show everyone what you have to offer.
Your efforts will draw interest. Spending quality
time with someone special will lead to long-term
plans and personal happiness. 3 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Procrastination will
be your downfall, especially when it comes to the
role you want to play in your relationships with
both personal friends and colleagues. 3 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get out and
mingle with people who are heading in a similar
direction as you. Collaboration will lead to greater
accomplishments and motivate you to go above
and beyond what’s expected of you. 5 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be firm, and
don’t let anyone get away with emotional manipulation. Make it clear that you will be the master of
your own destiny. Bring about positive changes at
home and to the way you live. Do what’s best for
you. 2 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep your ideas
and plans a secret for the time being. Ignore what
others do even if it doesn’t play into what you are
doing. Let past experience be your guide and you
will have no regrets moving forward. 4 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Change what you
don’t like. It’s up to you to provide your own happiness. Whether it’s a different job or moving to a
new location, it’s up to you to start the ball rolling.
Keep your life simple and within budget. 3 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll instinctively know what others want and expect. Use your
knowledge and experience to make things happen.
Reuniting with someone from your past will help
keep the momentum flowing. Don’t let stubbornness lead to regret. 3 stars

1 1⁄2 cups no-sugar-added, low sodium pasta sauce
1
⁄2 pound ground white meat turkey breast
1
⁄2 tablespoon fennel seeds
2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 slices whole grain bread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees to warm bread. Place
onion, garlic, mushrooms and pasta sauce in a medium
nonstick skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook
gently for 5 minutes while you prepare the meatballs. Mix
turkey, fennel seeds, breadcrumbs and balsamic vinegar
together. Add a little salt and pepper. Roll into small meatballs, about 1 1⁄2-inches in diameter. There should be about
8 meatballs. Add to skillet and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Warm the bread in oven. Turn meatballs over and
cook, covered, another 3 minutes. A meat thermometer
should read 165 degrees. Taste sauce and add salt and
pepper, if needed. Remove bread from oven and serve
with meatballs and lentils. Recipe by Linda Gassenheimer.

then gently cracking the
eggs on top, nestling them
into the sauce. The pan is
moved into the oven to
finish. Bring it to the table
in the skillet in which it
was made (cast iron is
great here).
That’s how it’s done at
the famous Dr. Shakshuka

also on the menu at Zak
the Baker in Wynwood,
where it is served at breakfast in individual skillets.
You can serve it with
warmed pita bread wedges
or crusty bread to soak up
all of the rich sauce.
There are as many shakshuka variations as there
are cooks. Some scramble
the eggs, and some add
feta cheese or eggplant,
olives or greens like spinach, kale, or Swiss chard.
Some recipes include meat.
Shakshuka can also be
covered and finished on
the cooktop over mediumlow heat for 10 to 12 minutes.
The sauce can be made
in advance and reheated
before adding the eggs.
Make an effort to buy the
freshest eggs you can find.

o you ever
pledge to exercise while on
vacation, then
put it off until, well, getting back home?
Sleeping in, coffee and
cocktail hour tend to
trump good intentions.
Here’s a place where
you can easily keep your
pledge — and reward
yourself along the way:
the Tampa Riverwalk.
After hours sitting en
route to Tampa, I
stretched my legs on the
new 2.4-mile paved trail.
Winding along the east
side of the Hillsborough
River before curving into
Garrison Channel, the
project was four decades
in the making.

ROBIN SOSLOW

Ulele, near the north end of Tampa’s new Riverwalk,
serves native Florida ingredient-inspired dishes and
house-brewed beer.

In 1976, wooden planks
were installed near
what’s now Curtis Hixon
Waterfront Park. The
lovely 1.8-mile Kennedy
Plaza segment opened
last spring. And finishing
touches will be completed in April on the north
end between the Straz
Center for the Performing Arts and Water
Works Park.
The paved path is so
handsome, well laid out

and breezy that my intended short stroll becomes an exhilarating jog
punctuated by frequent
stops to take in views.
Waterside parks are so
inviting that I do yoga in
two — Cotanchobee Fort
Brooke and Curtis Hixon.
Fully recharged, I burn
off energy doing headstands at the art museum. (Yes, there’s photographic evidence.)
Tampa’s long-dowdy

riverfront, now transformed, overflows with
irresistible selfie settings:
romantic docks and canopies, cute trolley and
animal sculptures, surreal
bronze tree-huggers.
“It’s now my favorite
place to jog,” says a local,
Jeff, rehydrating at Curtis
Hixon Park. He calls the
Riverwalk a fresh vantage point for Tampa’s
distinctive skyscrapers on
the east bank and to the
west, the University of
Tampa, where sunbeams
dance on the Moorish
minarets, domes and
cupolas atop Plant Hall.
Cyclists, skaters and
dog-walkers are also
welcome. The refreshed
waterscape has attracted
more paddlers, boaters
and outfitters, too.
Everything’s so much
brighter, and it’s not just
the sun. Sail-motif canopies offer not only shade
but spritely style. The
playground’s colorful
equipment makes grownups feel like playing. It’s
hard not to smile at dozens of refreshing sights
that pop up along the
way, like the welded steel
dog and child embracing
by the bike rack at Ulele,
the wildly popular restaurant that opened in 2014
in a historic, impressively
repurposed pump house.
After dark, the softly
colored illuminated canopies compete with the
twinkling stars above. I’m
spellbound by the Tampa
Museum of Art’s free
nightly light show. Sky

Leo Villareal work, hypnotizes passersby with a

feet long, of LED lights

Large sculpted works by Jaume Plensa captivate viewers inside and outside of the Tampa Museum of Art along Tampa’s
new Riverwalk.

Branson is cleaning up
its act. It’s also updating
its acts, which, depending
on where you are on the
Timeline of Life, may or
may not be a good thing.
First, to the cleanup:
That chaotic mess that is
the Missouri Highway 76
strip? Those miles of big
and small theaters, and
good and bad food, and
every manner of motel
and ticket-hustling storefront — all that stuff that
makes Branson Branson?
It’s getting something of
a makeover.

‘‘

I’M NOT TALKING
ABOUT RETIRING.
I’LL PROBABLY
FALL OFF THE
STAGE BEFORE I
RETIRE.
Shoji Tabuchi, 72,
Branson violinist and
showman
“We call it ‘The Spirit of
76 Project,’ ” said Branson
spokeswoman Lynn Berry.
And we’ll get to that
later. Showtime:
Yakov Smirnoff — “What
a country!” — gone, ending
his successful 23-year run
in December. He’s going
back to Hollywood to reinvent himself, a fascinating
plan we don’t have room to
detail here. (Hint: Dancing
With the Stars. Maybe.)
Mickey Gilley, another
longtime fixture with his
own theater? Also gone —
we’re told, to take it a little
easier as he approaches
his 80th birthday March 9.
They’re not alone.
Change in showbiz anywhere can be wrenching,
but there’s an intimacy
with performers in Branson that makes it more
personal. They lost Andy
Williams, a chandelier in a
town of kerosene lamps, to
cancer in 2012. That hurt
everybody. The four Lennon Sisters are still lovely,
but when they perform,
they’re down to three.
Down, too, are the Osmonds, one of whom —

Jimmy, now 53 — bought
Williams’ Moon River
Theatre and performs
there, sometimes, with
just two of his brothers.
Shoji Tabuchi, after
selling out his own theater
for years, still draws, but
the affable Japanese-born
violinist-showman-treasure is 72. Happily for
those of us who enjoy
what he does, he’s not
going anywhere. “I’m not
talking about retiring. I’ll
probably fall off the stage
before I retire,” he says.
But today’s hot tickets
are younger acts, many of
them family businesses
such as “Six” (six athletic
brothers who sing both
their lyrics and their “instruments,” a truly amazing performance) and the
Haygoods (five athletic
brothers and an athletic
sister who sing their lyrics
and play actual instruments, including a harp)
and the Duttons (lots of
Duttons doing everything).
That’s a little jarring in a
community that embraces
the familiar.
So what’s going on?
“The new kids are coming in with lasers and lights
and new songs and more
energy and stealing the
show,” said Dominic Haygood, 33, a member of the
popular brother troupe.
“And that’s the nature of
the system. You rock it as
long as you can, and then
you pass the torch.
“Can’t be up here forever, man.”
A ridiculously quick
history, leaving out a lot:
Branson grew in a couple of decades from a few
modest shows plus good
fishing and “The Shepherd
of the Hills” theatrical
show into something completely different.
“I came here in 1981,”
Tabuchi recalled. “The
only thing we had was the
Baldknobbers and the
Presleys Country Jubilee
(two hillbilly comedymusic shows), Silver Dollar City (the theme park),
and maybe three or four
more shows. That’s all.
Nothing like now.”
Sensing opportunity, a
few (mainly Nashville
music) stars followed —
first Roy Clark, then Ray
Stevens, Mel Tillis (with
his beloved stutter), Bobby
Vinton and other perform-

A TRAIL OF CULTURE
The Riverwalk links
choice downtown destinations like charms on a
bracelet. Visiting them is so
much more relaxing without
parking or taxi hassles.
A spectacle of an exhibit
occupies the lawn, patio and
several galleries at the Tampa Museum of Art. Human
Landscape features bronze
figures hugging palm trees,
tinkly curtains of solid metal
alphabet letters and a globe
of stainless-steel symbols.
Mounted curiously on walls,
big crouched figures of
steel, resin and light embody “See No Evil, Hear No
Evil, Speak No Evil.” The
artist is Barcelona-born
Jaume Plensa.
“Touch them! They’re
made to be touched,” says
a security guard about the
giant mesh heads. He
knows a lot about the
mother and daughter depicted. “Look at the facial
details; can you tell which
one’s older?” Yes, he’s
right about the fine but
clear differences.
Another guard offers to
help me take my picture —
including a headstand between the heads. This I add
to a list of Riverwalk acts of

bonhomie that include three
adults dancing around an
outdoor sculpture, one doing cartwheels and a guy
dressed in full pirate regalia
posing on a bench.
Art lines the Riverwalk:
Bronze busts depict famous
Tampanians such as train
and steamer magnate Henry B. Plant; trolley-car
sculptures salute local
organizations.
Other cultural centers
beckon Riverwalkers with
lively attractions. Next to
the art museum, Glazer
Children’s Museum fills
three floors with hands-on
brainy, artsy, fun activities.
Tampa Bay History Center
offers interactive exhibits
about Native Americans,
settlers, cowboys, cigars
and military history — and
an entertaining temporary
display of souvenirs from
decades past, from vintage
postcards to spoons. Anchoring Riverwalk’s southeast end at Channelside by
the Port of Tampa, the
Florida Aquarium features
a water park, dolphinwatch cruises, a coral-reef
tank and thousands of sea
animals and plants.

“From there, it just started to snowball.”
Smirnoff loves telling this
story, from 20-plus years
ago, when a TV show featured the town: “I remember when they asked Mel
Tillis on 60 Minutes, ‘How
much money are you making?’ He said, ‘M-m-millions.’ ”
The town and its shows
— in most any given week
more than 100 — drew

Military veterans were

“It’s an SUV market,”
Smirnoff said, “where two
couples or three couples
jump into an SUV and go
wherever they want to go.”
And they don’t always
crave lodging-show packages, even with discounts.
“They’re not going to be
told where they want to
go,” Smirnoff said. “They
don’t want to sit in a bus
with 40, 50 other people.”

“A lot of these [traditional] shows, for good or bad
or whatever, they’re not
attracting new audiences
with what they’re doing,”
Brooks said. “This [show]
is part of the transition that
Branson needs.”
Silver Dollar City remains a solid attraction.
The Titanic Museum,
which seemed a curious
addition when it opened in
2006, turned out to be a
popular interactive experience, and not just for kids
— who are accommodated
but not patronized.
Johnny Morris, the visionary behind Bass Pro Shops,
has installed a showpiece
Jack Nicklaus-designed
par-3 golf course at his Top

History Museum, an astounding collection of artifacts you don’t expect to
find this close to the Baldknobbers and the Presleys
Country Jubilee. (Both those
artifacts, by the way, are still
here.)
Back to the makeover:
Berry said the town has
earmarked $100 million
toward renovating downtown Branson, which took a
major hit 10 years ago when
the Branson Landing mall
opened along the riverfront,
and Highway 76. The downtown renovation is well
underway. Over eight years,
additions will include pleasant walkways along 76, with
plenty of benches plus “water features” and other
aesthetic adjustments.
More: An abandoned

outlet mall is being converted to Ballparks of America,
a complex of replica ballparks that will host summer
youth tournaments. Opening this summer is an
80,000-square-foot indoor
theme park called Fritz’s
Adventure. Also, an air
gondola connecting downtown with Silver Dollar City
has been proposed. “Something 10 miles long would
be very interesting,” Berry
said.
Not likely to change are

Branson staples: performers
greeting fans and signing
autographs after shows,
salutes to veterans, gospel
songs at most performances,
a general wholesomeness,
and show-time traffic gluts.
It wouldn’t be Branson
without them.
But expect more new
shows — younger, louder,
flashier. Plus, from time to
time, traditional favorites
such as Oak Ridge Boys,
Don Williams, Wynonna,
Mel. And holdovers: Dixie

Blooming bamboo
lures an array of birds
BY NORMAN WINTER

Tribune News Service

The national association
says it is only a grass, but
not many plants are looked
at with heart-pounding fear
and trepidation as bamboo.
But it is that grass element
that caught us all by surprise last spring.
You see bamboo does
bloom. It is not predictable
and it is not necessarily
something celebrated by
horticulturists as maintenance will soon be required. Some countries
even look at the bloom of
bamboo as catastrophic.
Only a portion of the
three clumps on the farm
bloomed, making it easy
for us to remove when we
did the necessary afterbloom maintenance.
When the bloom started
we were stunned as to what
occurred next. It was an
ornithological extravaganza.
The 18-foot tall bamboo
bloomed for weeks. Some of
the large grass seeds remained on the bamboo
canes, while others were
sloughed off to the ground.
The result of all of this was
a bird feeding frenzy.
Indio buntings, painted
buntings, blue grosbeaks,
rose-breasted grosbeaks,
eastern towhees, gray catbirds and cardinals all kept
us thrilled. In other places
they go to great lengths to
keep birds from getting the
seeds.
This is an occurrence
where naturalists and horticulturists stand together in
time, awed and amazed.
I would love to have more
bamboo blooming next
season, although I would
hate to see an entire clump
of our historic bamboo be

lost to such an event. Our
clump of Chinese Goddess
bamboo, for example, has
been there since 1928.
Right now, like some
naturalist nerds, we are
rejoicing thanks to some
hedge bamboo. Since Jan. 8
we have been playing host
to a Wilson’s warbler that
is most rare in our area.
There are also blue-headed

vireos, black and white
warblers, ruby-crowned
kinglets, wrens and others
darting in and out of the
bamboo, snagging low
flying insects.
Bamboo and birds are a
pairing most of us have
never considered. Maybe it
is like the icing on the cake
or a plant with added benefits. For the Japanese Gar-

den, or Tropical Garden
however, no plant can lend
the look and texture of the
bamboo.
As a screen it is one of
the best. If you need a
groundcover that is two to
four feet in height you
can’t beat bamboo. One
look at bamboo and you
get a sense of being in the
presence of a plant of rare
beauty, both exotic and
also foreign.
The Coastal Georgia
Botanical Gardens got its
start in 1919 as a USDA
Plant Introduction Station
because of bamboo. We
still maintain a sizeable
collection, including Mrs.
Miller’s giant timber bamboo she planted on the
farm in 1890.
Bamboo is native to Asia,
Africa and even the Americas. There are species of
bamboo that can be grown
from zones 5 to the tropics.
Just like the American Bamboo Association says, it is
just a grass. In fact they can
be small dwarf grasses
reaching only a foot in

Plumbago loves hot, dry weather and grows quickly and
exuberantly.

Plumbago is hardy
enough to thrive on I-95
Plumbago, a sprawling
shrub can be wonderfully
vibrant in a dry spring
season.
It loves hot, dry weather, and even thrives on
I-95 in Miami.
Plumbago auriculata is a
sprawly plant, which
grows quickly and exuberantly. It’s also a nectar
plant for butterflies. It
needs nipping throughout
the growing season to stay
more or less in place.
I grow it around the
base of a coconut palm
with yellow shrimp plants
for the nice contrast of
colors.
I also find that it can
outpace the shrimp plants
if not kept in check.
The old botanical name
was Plumbago capensis,
referring to the Cape of
Good Hope in South Africa, its home.
Another plant from the
area is Cape honeysuckle.
There are white and red
forms of plumbago, as
well as deep blue cultivars.
The plant grows to four
to six feet.

Plant it in a well-drained
site where it will get at
least half a day of sun for
best flowering.
Water it well for a couple of weeks to get it going, then reduce watering
gradually.
Mulch around the base,
keeping away from the
stems.
You may want to add
composted cow manure on
top of the plantings in the
beginning of the rainy
season, or at least use a
slow-release fertilizer.
When the thin leaves
begin to pale, you’ll know
it’s time for more manure,
mulch or fertilizer. Or, for
a drench of chelated iron
and micronutrients.
Prune back hard before
the rainy season gets fully
underway.
The stems are thin, and
beneath the flowing green
stems, you will find brittle
deadwood. Remove the
dead twigs; bring in the
sides a little, and wait for
regrowth.

Believe it: PJs at
work are a reality

Kate Hudson in a pretty
good place

“Pajamas are completely appropriate for
work,” said no one, ever. Well, we take that back.
What if cuddling up with your #GirlBoss coffee
mug, presenting in the boardroom and sipping
martinis at happy hour didn’t require multiple
outfit changes?
The answer: business + jammies = Bammies.
Bammies, a made-in-Miami collection of comfortable, stylish pieces to fit the many activities in
a day, are changing the way we do business.
Founded by Miami’s Julia
Ford-Carther and Rosario
Chozas, the line launched in
January with six chic, affordable items ranging between
$80 and $170.
“We can be hustlers and do
many things, but let’s not
forget that there’s strength in
the softness,” Chozas says.
The complex women Bammies aims to reach are much
like the brand’s founders.
Formally the senior editor of
Ocean Drive magazine, FordCarther is the founder of The
Self Love Formula, a website
focused on elevating readers
to their best selves, and SLF
A model wears
Bammies gauchos Media, her content marketing concept for brands. Chozas has almost a decade of entrepreneurial endeavors under her belt — from producing to consulting.
“We want you to feel confident in knowing that
you can quickly choose a Bammies item, throw it
on, style it with other staples in your closet, and
not have to worry about the message you’re sending throughout the day,” Ford-Carther says.
“You’ll never be pulling at a too-tight waistband,
straightening a pencil skirt gone rogue or fiddling
with a peek-a-boo button-down blouse.”

Kate Hudson is a “multihyphenate” to the
max: actress, mother of two, designer, now
author. The vivacious beauty, 36, visited the
Rusty Pelican last week as the headliner for
the Organization of Women in International
Trade’s International Business Woman of the
Year Awards. Hudson discussed growing up
with her famous family (mom is Goldie
Hawn, stepdad is Kurt Russell) and her busy
career, which includes co-founding a line of
athletic wear called Fabletics and writing a
lifestyle book, Pretty Happy.
What was your childhood like?
It wasn’t exactly normal but as grounded I
think as you could get. They moved us out of
L.A. to Colorado [outside Aspen] when we
were very young. We were outside riding dirt
bikes, hiking, being in nature, doing chores. I
actually have pretty tough parents. We are a
very open family, we put everything on the
table. Nothing was swept under the rug. Manners, politeness, working hard: Those were all
things they took very seriously.
Your breakthrough role came in “Almost Famous” when you received an Oscar nod for best supporting actress. Are
you still enjoying the process?
I love making movies. It’s a weird world
when you’re on set. Some people find it boring. I’m into it. Not everyone gets into the
business to be the rom-com girl or the dramatic indie [queen]. I want to do everything.
Talk about your book, “Pretty Happy.”
I know the word ‘holistic’ throws people off
a little, but I am taking a whole approach
looking at health my way, which is not necessarily perfect, but perfect for me. I get asked a
lot: ‘How are you and your mom so happy all
the time?’ I mean, we’re passionate. We have
a lust for life. We’re pretty happy. Happiness
is so subjective to one’s own experience.
What is the takeaway?
I feel what is most attractive is a woman’s
inner confidence. I don’t care what she looks
like. If she feels good about herself, and she’s
healthy and strong and mindful, that’s the
most magnetic thing. Make realistic goals to
achieve them. Take the path to what makes
you feel good.
Do you like visiting Miami?
I love it! My hair’s curly. My skin likes the
humidity. I respond to everything here. My
DNA may have something. I want to put on a
little dress and go salsa dancing and get Cuban coffee!

Burt’s big day

Burt Reynolds was
treated like the Hollywood royal he is on his
80th birthday Feb. 11.
Guests who attended the
Gunsmoke vet’s bash at
his Jupiter ranch told
Closer Weekly that it
was an affair to remember. “A tent was set up in
his large garden for a
dinner party, decorated
Reynolds
with a fun Western
theme,” an insider told the magazine. “As a
mariachi band played, guests were encouraged to wear their boots and kick up their
heels.” Reynolds, who is the subject of an
upcoming documentary The Bandit, was
eventually presented with a cowboy hat cake
— with just one candle.
WAR STORIES
Trisha Posner, Miami Beach-based author
and wife of bestselling investigative journalist
Gerald Posner, has just inked a deal with a
British publishing house — Crux Publishing —
for The Pharmacist of Auschwitz, a tale of a
Nazi pharmacist who went on after the war to
his normal life and then later was charged
with war crimes in the 1960s. The book is
also about how the German pharma companies used Auschwitz as a giant human lab for
their experimental drugs. “I’ve wanted to do
this book ever since 1986 when I met Rolf
Mengele, only son of the Angel of Death at
Auschwitz,” Trisha Posner told us. “He told
me that friends of the pharmacist of Auschwitz had helped his father escape after the
war. And I thought, ‘Auschwitz had a pharmacist?!!’ That’s the seed for this book.”

BABY MAKES 3
Bobby Cannavale’s latest
role is new dad. The Coconut
Creek High School grad and
girlfriend, actress Rose Byrne
(Bridesmaids), have welcomed
a spanking new baby boy. Rocco Robin came into the world
Feb. 1. “We just love the
name,” Cannavale, who has a
20-year-old son from a previous relationship, told People.
“His middle name is her dad’s
name, Robin, and we liked the
way it rang together. We’re just
really, really over the moon.”

It’s Girl Scout cookie
season. And even though
the cookies can be pretty
great crushed into milkshakes, straight out of the
freezer or eaten just about
anywhere, the folks at the
Vivino wine app insist that
if you want to take your
cookies to the next level,
you’ll need to pair them
with wine.
Vivino, which has more
than 13 million members
and allows users to take a
photo of a wine label or
wine list and receive ratings, reviews and average
prices, has put together a
guide to pairing wine with
your favorite Girl Scout
Cookies.
Jessica Norris, wine director at Del Frisco’s Double
Eagle
Steak-

house in New York City
(also named one of Wine
Enthusiast’s top 40 under
40 tastemakers) and Tracy
Byrnes, Vivino partner and
wine expert, came up with
12 wines to pair with 12
cookies. Cheers.
1. Thin Mints and Brunello: If you’re a Thin
Mints fan, you’ll want to
select a bottle of Brunello, a
DOCG wine from Tuscany,
made exclusively with Sangiovese grapes. According
to the guide, the wine’s
tart, dried red fruits and
herbs give the wine
“enough gumption to cut
the chocolate.” Norris and
Byrnes suggest a 2003
Lisini Brunello di Montalcino, a 2007 Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona Brunello Di
Montalcino Pianrosso or a
2009 Marchesi Antinori
Pian delle Vigne Brunello
di Montalcino.

2. Caramel deLites or
Samoas with Rioja: These
caramel, chocolate and
coconut cookies pair well
with an aged Rioja, which
can stand up to the cookie’s
many flavor profiles. Norris
and Byrnes suggest a 2004
La Rioja Alta Rioja Gran
Reserva 904, a 2007 CVNE
Imperial Rioja Gran Reserva and a 2006 Beronia
Rioja Gran Reserva.

SCOUTS, CLOSE
YOUR EYES AND
EARS FOR THIS
3. Peanut Butter Patties
or Tagalongs and Amarone: These cookies require a big wine, such as an
Amarone. This is a rich, dry
wine from the Veneto region of Italy, made with
mostly Corvina grapes.
Bottle suggestions include a
2009 Bussola Amarone
della Valpolicella Classico,
a 2011 La Colombaia Amarone della Valpolicella and
a 2010 Allegrini Amarone
Della Valpolicella Classico.
4. Trefoils and Riesling: This simple shortbread cookie doesn’t
require more than an
off-dry German Riesling. Recommendations include a 2014
Schmitt Söhne Riesling Relax, a 2014 Dr.
Loosen Riesling Kabinett Blue Slate and a
2012 Heinz Eifel Mo-

The Vivino app has put

sel Auslese Riesling.
5. Do-Si-Dos and Zinfandel: For a combination
that tastes like a peanut
butter and jelly sandwich,
try a California Zinfandel.
Bottle suggestions include a
2012 Michael David Rage
Zinfandel, a 2013 Robert
Biale Vineyards Zinfandel
Black Chicken and a 2013
Turley Zinfandel Old Vines.
6. Cranberry Citrus
Crisps and New Zealand
Pinot Noir: The wine’s
bright red fruit will complement the cookie’s citrus
flavors. Bottle suggestions
include a 2011 Amisfield
Central Otago Pinot Noir,
2014 Kim Crawford Pinot
Noir and 2013 Dog Point
Pinot Noir.
7. Lemonades and Roero Arneis: Apparently, a
zesty lemon-icing-topped
shortbread cookie deserves
a zesty white Italian wine.
Suggestions include a 2014
Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis, a 2013 Vietti Arneis
Roero and a 2012 Monchiero Carbone Cecu D’la Biunda Roero Arneis.
8. Rah-Rah Raisins and
Bordeaux: These oatmeal
cookies are studded with
raisins and Greek yogurtflavored chunks. The variations in texture pair well
with a Merlot-based Bordeaux. Try a 2005 Château
du Tertre Margaux Grand
Cru Classé, a 2012 Château
Haut-Marbuzet Saint-Estephe or a 2009 Château
Giscours Margaux Grand
Cru Classé.
9. Savannah Smiles
and Sancerre: A Sancerre
can cut the sweetness of
these lemon-flavored cookies but also bring out their
citrus flavors. Bottles suggestions include a 2012
Henri Bourgeois Sancerre

BRYAN CHAN TNS

D’Antan 2012, a 2014 Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy
Sancerre 2014 and a 2013
Patient Cottat Sancerre
Anciennes Vignes.
10. Thanks-a-Lot cookies and Bandol Rouge:
These shortbread cookies
have a layer of fudge on the
bottom. For a spicy wine
that complements the chocolate, try a Bandol Rouge,
made with at least 50 percent Mourvedre grapes.
Norris and Byrnes suggest a
2013 Domaine Tempier
Bandol Rouge.
11. Toffee-tastic and
Châteauneuf-du-Pape:
These buttery cookies have
plenty of toffee bits, which
will pair well with a Châteauneuf-du-Pape red
blend from the Rhone valley. Try a 2010 Château

Sixtine Châteauneuf-duPape, a 2009 Domaine
Duclaux Châteauneuf-duPape or a 2011 Clos Saint
Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Vieilles Vignes.
12. Trios and Washington State Syrah: For a
wine that works well with
these peanut butter and
chocolate chip oatmeal
cookies, try a Washington
State Syrah, which, according to the guide, has dark
berry flavors. Look for the
2012 Novelty Hill Columbia Valley Syrah, a 2012
Charles Smith K Vintners
Milbrandt Syrah or a 2011
L’Ecole No 41 Syrah.

Retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz is
selling about 30 items from his collection

. ................................................................................................................

Items include pieces the Miami Beach winter resident
picked up in his travels

Dershowitz is downsizing from a big Massachusetts
house to apartments in New York and Miami Beach
. ................................................................................................................

BY ANA VECIANA SUAREZ

P

eople know Alan
Dershowitz as one
of the brilliant
legal minds of his
generation, a man who has
represented some unusual
clients, from controversial

rap group 2 Live Crew to
Rhode Island socialite
Claus Von Bulow to
“Queen of Mean” hotelier
Leona Helmsley to Deep
Throat porn star Harry
Reems.
But the recently retired
Harvard law professor and
now winter resident of
Miami Beach is also a de-

voted collector of Judaica,
historical materials dealing
with Judaism and Jewish
rituals. He began collecting
these artifacts on his travels, adding items when
something — a Torah
shield, a Kiddush cup, a
painting — caught his eye.
“My wife,” he jokes,
“says I have an incredible
nose for finding Judaica. I
always find the one stall
that has the only piece in
some big outdoor market.”
Space constraints, however, have prompted Dershowitz to put up about onethird of his collection for
sale. J. Greenstein & Co, a
Cedarhurst, New York,
company that bills itself as
the only house specializing
in antique Jewish ritual art,
is conducting
a live auction
on its website. Of the
236 items on
the market,
about 30 are
Dershowitz’s.
Dershowitz
Items
include a silver Torah
shield from 19th century
Poland, a Russian silver
Torah pointer from around
1880, an early 20th century
pewter Passover dish from
Germany and a sterling
silver Megillah case from
Israel.
“Part of me is very ambivalent about this,” Dershowitz says of the auction.
“I do a lot of research. I
take them [the items] to
experts. If it were up to me,
I’d keep every which one.”
But he can’t. He doesn’t
have the space. Dershowitz
moved from a large house
in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to a small apartment
in Miami Beach and another in New York City. Many
of his prized possessions
have to either go into storage or be offered to other
collectors. He chose the
latter route “because I
want them to be where
they can be shown. I don’t
believe in keeping things in

storage. The goal is that
they stay in places that
people can learn about
Jewish history.”
Jonathan Greenstein,
founder of the auction
company, expects the
items to generate a lot of
interest. “Each piece is
unique and different,” he
said, “and it doesn’t hurt
any that these items were
owned by Mr. Dershowitz.”
Greenstein is particularly
fond of Item 143, an Olivewood Megillah Eicha
case with the original Megillah, a scroll containing
the biblical narrative of the
book of Esther, traditionally read in synagogues to
celebrate the festival of
Purim. The 14-inch case
comes from Jerusalem,
1887, and commands an
opening bid of $6,000
While some collectors
may specialize in a particular item — menorahs, for
instance — or a region of
the world, Dershowitz is
interested in what catches
his eye, but the item has to
be both “aesthetically
beautiful and have a special meaning for me.”
Those two factors also

He owns, for instance, a
letter by Thomas Jefferson
on the 25th anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration of Independence and
historical documents on
Alfred Dreyfus, a FrenchJewish artillery officer
whose trial and conviction
in 1894 on charges of treason later became known as
the Dreyfus Affair. (Dreyfus
was eventually exonerated.)
“I like the connection to
the past,” Dershowitz explains.
Many of Dershowitz’s
Jewish items were previously owned by Jews who
were massacred in the
Holocaust. “In Eastern
Europe,” he added, “at one
point there was more Judaica than there were Jews.
I felt in a way I was rescuing them.”

SPRING CLEANING

5 tips to get ready for spring

While we are still almost
a month away from the
official start of spring, now
is the time to think about
how you will prepare your
home for warmer months.
Here are my top five tips to
help make your home bright
and fresh for spring.
A Clean: Cleaning tops
the list. At the end of winter, consider giving your
home a top-to-bottom

cleaned less regularly in

your home, like the refrigerator.
A Fix: Repairs, both inside and out, may have

turned cold. Now is the
perfect time to take on
household improvement
projects before the weather
gets too warm. The transition from winter to spring
is also a time when you
won’t encounter irritating
bugs and mosquitoes.
A Spice up your decor
with color: Color and
spring perhaps go hand in
hand. Take a color assessment around your home
and determine ways in

which you can use color
more purposefully.
A Purge: Out with the
old and in with the new.
Get rid of items that are
hogging your closets or
cluttering your home —
they can potentially negatively impact your ability to
truly enjoy your home. The
end of winter is a great
time to toss or donate
items you no longer need.
A Buy something new:
Why not infuse new life
into a room by adding a
new accent or furniture
piece to your home? Purchasing a new item for
your home may serve as
the ideal spring pick-me-
