noack was before the judge as a habitual offender fully expecting a jail sentence in fact he was hoping to be sent to jail because he knew that unless he was locked away he d be drunk within hours alcohol had hospitalized him with a bleeding stomach ulcer several times and his mind was nearly gone he said i was close to death and beyond hope there was no hope whatsoever he said i was a habitual offender and the judge should have sent me to prison i told the judge `there s no sense putting me on probation in spite of all my good intentions i will go straight to a liquor store i thought that if i was put away for three years my habit would go away luckily for noack the judge not only gave him probation he entered him in a jail diversion program that sends nonviolent drug and alcohol

of his deal with the city the issue caused a row at tuesday night s meeting among council members who were divided over granting singh a provisional certificate of occupancy that can be revoked if three affordable housing units are not built within four months a 3-2 vote carried the measure councilmen don vasil and mike cinque were the dissenters but not before a heated argument flared on the dais this is the same kind of mentality that puts the council under extreme criticism vasil said after other board members explained their reasons for granting the provisional agreement i feel like we

program said jamie pipher director of the guidance clinic of the middle keys which runs the keys to recovery program we could be closed in 30 days the cuts would take away $250,000 in state money a year from the program the program gets some funding from the county but not nearly enough to keep it operating it s not hard to picture what it would mean to the keys if the program closes pipher said it s good to remember that the patients or defendants however they re viewed often end up drug or alcohol-free and return to take their places in the family and community she said these people are from every income level in the county family members who are returned to productive lives pipher said after detox and rehab program residents must agree to be monitored for drug use find a job undergo

4a editorial board john kent cooke jr publisher tom tuell/editor david ethridge/ombudsman marc phelps/marathon big pine free press editor the key west citizen friday march 28 2008 opinion ed block ralph morrow/sports editor shirley freeman charlie bradford anti-academia act likely a formula for disaster ot every florida university needs to offer a medical degree or other costly graduate and research programs but a bill that would create a new tier of undergraduate colleges has surfaced for the worst of possible reasons it has sprung from a legislature that resents university leaders who speak out on budget cuts and that prefers instead to offer college degrees at bottom-dollar prices this is the wrong way to make higher education policy the motivations behind this undergraduate college plan are revealed by the financial climate and the legislative vehicle in which it travels the financial climate is the bleak $2.5 billion shortfall lawmakers face this year and the universities that are already being forced to reduce fall enrollment the legislative vehicle is a constitutional amendment pushed by senate president ken pruitt that also would abolish the current university board of governors a bill that might as well be labeled the anti-academia act the sad irony is that the question of whether to create different tiers of universities is longstanding and the resistance has typically come from legislators who want their favored universities to get the best in medical and law schools and research centers the new legislative proposal would skip right past that n editorial more difficult debate by involving only community colleges in the transition the frantic pace at which these higher education bills are moving through the legislature is in character with the dismissive anger that drives them the pruitt amendment would also convert the k-12 education commissioner from an appointed to an elected office in one amendment thus the legislature would be telling voters they were wrong about the education commissioner and wrong about the board of governors neither change has been in effect for longer than five years pruitt at least hasn t tried to disguise his animosity toward florida s university presidents and leaders but on wednesday all 40 senators [were scheduled to take sides in his grudge match are they too willing to treat the state s leading universities as though they are enemies of the people are they willing to throw out the board of governors and shuffle the community-college deck for the purpose of bolstering pruitt s bruised ego good decisions are seldom made in haste or anger this combines both and for higher education could spell disaster the st petersburg times letters to the editor business owner should be kinder to tourists my family and i just returned from a spectacular vacation in key west a dear friend of mine owns a home on truman avenue and had offered it to my family for the week this was our second trip to key west and i can t say enough about the residents of key west and their hospitality unfortunately my wife and i had a disturbing experience one afternoon that can t go without comment me and my family are all avid cyclists we take our bikes with us on every trip that we can my wife and i were out one day on our tandem doing a loop of the island we had discussed earlier in the week how respectful and thoughtful drivers were of cyclists in the area just before we turned off u.s 1 onto a1a a pickup passed very close to us leaving very little room and once in front of us quickly accelerated leaving us in a thick cloud of black diesel smoke i happened to catch the name on the back glass off the truck and looked it up in the phone directory when we got back to the house i called the company name on the truck hoping to speak with the owner thinking that it was an employee in the vehicle but to my dismay it was the owner driving the truck after identifying myself and explaining my disappointment with the actions of the driver of the pickup the owner of the truck told me that he remembered me and that yes he did cut in close to me and black smoked me because you people think you own the road and can disrupt traffic flow when you feel like it and yes i apologize for cutting close to you but i m glad you got a face full of black smoke that will teach you people you people would that be one of the life bloods of the community tourism does not [his business depend upon a portion of tourist business not only am i a cyclist but i enjoy fishing also now knowing the attitude of the [truck owner toward tourism i am so thankful that we chose another charter company of the two days we went out i can t imagine spending my money or time with a gentleman who thinks so lowly of the very population that lines his pockets you would think that someone who depends on tourist traffic would be more compassionate toward tourists jon todd savannah ga have shown good judgment for the county are boobs what was the point of his letter why coleman would bother to attack a concerned citizen who goes to all the [board of county commissioners planning and [development review committee meetings on her own time and expense tells me she s probably on the right track it has been jerry coleman s actions in the past listening to him speak at public meetings reading his letters to editors and what he has charged us taxpayers for his work that i have determined coleman to be a noncredible person in a time when developers the people he represents seem to get their way all the time it saddens me that coleman would try to intimidate future activists who are desperately needed to stand up against special favors to these developers we need to get more citizens involved because of people like coleman who use unfair tactics abuse rules and regulations for the benefit of developers who have money time and power as the rest of us work two to three jobs to make ends meet developers have bought up trailer parks gotten them rezoned evicted families living in these parks forcing most to leave the keys this is a work force we lose for the benefit of the developer and loss to our community developers make money off of these people s hardships this is what coleman stands for at the planning board meeting when the preservation of working waterfronts item first came up it was very late into the night with only one staff person left as coleman was arguing it left and right bay bottom never taken into consideration for land-use was then calculated into the math to determine how much density should be allowed bay bottom [that cannot be built on the density normally two units per acre was increased to 16 units per acre there also was a hotel that developers wanted to build which all of a sudden became a place for our emergency personnel to stay during hurricane evacuation this hotel was promoted as a much-needed hurricane shelter but emergency personnel already have category 5 hotels in which they stay in during these storms the benefit to developers in building a hurricane evacuation shelter is that it does not require [building allocations by the way the [proposed hotel at the key west airport also will not require [allocations so developers have their tricks lawyers like coleman and three county commissioners to push whatever they want through for this reason we need more people like kay thacker it is [jerry s gang of three who should be considered the boobs and [he can throw [himself in with that crowd diane beruldsen stock island one thousand portraits of war t he faces of the 1,000 u.s service members killed in iraq since january of 2007 display the rich tapestry of america all the many colors and textures that give this country its special vibrancy to pore over the thumbnail-sized portraits reprinted this week in the new york times is to see the broad representation for which the u.s military is justly proud and to feel the enormity of the loss go deeper online where biographies of these service men and women are posted and specific lives take form behind the equalizing rows of graves at arlington national cemetery like the previous 3,000 they share mostly that they were all so young the hometowns that contributed to the sacrifice include unfamiliar places few may ever visit gretna neb perhaps or waipahu hawaii the 4,000 americans killed in iraq represent the highest military toll since vietnam and like all deaths they ripple out to cap size families and communities the grim milestone of the 4,000th u.s death came within days of another the fifth anniversary of the invasion the mind ticks through the heartless arithmetic 800 deaths a year 15 a week no one wants to do the awful calculus for the remaining 10 months of the bush administration but with troop levels likely remaining the same throughout 2008 more deaths of americans and iraqis are inevitable it seems clear now that president bush intends to leave to a new administration any real change in course for iraq the photos of the fallen this week inevitably echo the portraits of grief that the times published after the sept 11 attacks wrenching stories of plans and dreams cut off in mid-breath there was no real connection between iraq and sept 11 until the bush administration made it so the 2,973 lives lost that day were quite enough the boston globe activists like thacker fill an important role as i read jerry coleman s letter denouncing kay thacker something seemed very wrong coleman described how educated and intelligent he is comparing his knowledge with kay thacker he gave the impression he knows what he is talking about and not kay coleman also stated two commissioners who letters policy the key west

senator bill nelson s remarks thursday to the florida senate t s fitting that we come together in this city in this state for i wish to discuss an issue all too familiar to florida and sacred to our democracy the right to vote and to have that vote count as intended a year ago you passed a bill to move florida s presidential primary to an early date on the national election calendar your thinking was to give our large and diverse state a microcosm of america more of a say in the selection of the presidential nominees and we all know what happened both national parties decided to punish florida because their rules reserved early presidential contests to a handful of other states for eight months now i have been immersed in a fight to get the chairman of my party to end a stalemate to seat florida s delegates and honor the state s jan 29 primary in what was on that date a historic turnout some 3.6 million citizens headed to i the polls and cast ballots in florida s democratic and republican presidential primaries for me this issue is simple it s a case of fundamental rights versus party rules last october i sued my own party and its chairman in federal district court in december i lost that court bill nelson fight but i have guest columnist continued to push for my party to find a way to seat a delegation from florida while giving floridians a meaningful voice in the selection of their party s nominee my fight has been based on the principle that in america every citizen has an equal right to vote it is based on a premise that floridians are entitled to have their votes count as intended and it is based on a belief that we all deserve a say in picking our presidential nominees more recently i asked the national democratic party to pay for a mail-in revote but the party declined few people could agree on specifics including the candidates themselves now because we re at the point where reaching a solution is critical i am asking the party to divvy up the equivalent of half of florida s delegates from the jan 29 results this is allowed by the democratic rules and was done by the gop if nothing else this election has provided further evidence that our system is broken you and gov crist are to be commended for banning touch-screen voting machines six years after the state outlawed punch-card ballots because of the problems in the 2000 election and this year legislation has been introduced to toughen the audits of election results thank you what you have done in florida must not be an end but a beginning as to our right to vote and have that vote count there can be no debate the goal is simple one person one vote last fall i filed legislation in the u.s senate requiring that no vote for federal office be cast on a touch-screen voting machine starting in 2012 i also joined the senior senator from michigan carl levin to propose a system of six rotating primaries from march to june in each presidential election year and very soon i will file a broaderbased election-reform bill this new legislation will abolish the electoral college and give citizens direct election of their president by popular vote additionally six rotating interregional primaries will give large and small states a fair say in the nomination process the legislation will establish early voting in every state it will eliminate machines that don t produce a voting paper trail it will allow every qualified voter in every state to cast an absentee ballot if they want and it will give grants to states that develop mail-in balloting and secure internet voting i am reaching out to my colleagues in congress and to you today i respectfully ask each of you for sugges tions to make this a better bill let s not forget it was more than 230 years ago that our founding fathers declared that all men are created equal but the country still had to wait 87 years before abraham lincoln signed a proclamation freeing the slaves and it took another 57 years before women in america were allowed to vote after her arrest for voting in the presidential election of 1872 susan b anthony delivered a speech on a woman s right to vote the ballot she said is the only means of securing the blessings of liberty provided by this government even still it took another 93 years before our nation belatedly enacted a law guaranteeing every u.s citizen an equal right to vote this country cannot afford to wait that long before we fix the flaws we still see in our election system the blessings of liberty cannot wait the time for reform is now bill nelson is florida s senior u.s senator and a fifth-generation floridian he previously served as a state legislator congressman and state cabinet officer.

the key west citizen friday march 28 2008 5a from page 1 singh continued from page 1a required affordable units at the time singh promised to build additional affordable units off-site but that project only recently got under way during a city council meeting last month singh asked for leniency on the requirement saying the conference center would be economically beneficial to the city the council at the time rebuked the request when we were back here a month ago my major problem was there was no plan for how they were going to rectify [the affordable housing in the future vice mayor chris bull said during the meeting singh had given the council a construction schedule for the new affordable units and a list of where employees were being housed in the meantime it s my understanding that the building of affordable housing units attached to these properties is to take care of the impact that is created by these properties vasil said the fact that this company [is using other units has just further deteriorated the affordable housing inventory for other people who needed it mayor pete worthington said the community needed the economic bump that a conference center would provide and the provisional agreement would ensure the affordable housing is not forgotten i don t think it is a real big deal worthington said i don t think we need to be up here grandstanding the grandstanding comment set off both vasil and cinque i find that insulting vasil said councilwoman marilyn tempest said the agreement would serve the greater good of the city since affordable units would be built and the conference center could be opened more quickly let s not lose sight of the overall goal tempest said i don t think we should become a punitive city

carried out by associates of sean diddy combs and that he knew about it ahead of time the bottom line is that the documents we relied on should not have been used editor russ stanton said in a story posted wednesday night on the combs newspaper s web site we apologize both to our readers and to those referenced in the documents and in the story pulitzer-prize winning reporter chuck philips who wrote the story and his supervisor deputy managing editor marc duvoisin also apologized the apologies followed an investigation launched by stanton after the smoking gun web site reported earlier in the day that the paper was conned by a prisoner who doctored the documents combs denied that he had any prior knowledge of or involvement in the robbery and shooting of shakur at a new york recording studio he and other subjects of the story claimed they had been defamed by the newspaper the smoking gun said the documents seemed phony because they appeared to be written on a typewriter instead of

the key west citizen friday march 28 2008 9a state tallahassee west park fort lauderdale tuition-education commissioner amendment passes senate in house next a ballot proposal that would end a legal dispute over who sets university tuition in favor of the legislature rather than an appointed board easily passed thursday in the senate the state constitutional amendment also would restore an elected education commissioner to the florida cabinet and abolish the appointed state board of education its oversight of primary and secondary schools and community colleges would revert to the governor and cabinet if the house also approves the measure it would go on the nov 4 ballot the amendment would not abolish the board of governors which administers florida s 11 state universities but would let the legislature reduce or eliminate its authority over tuition and other policy areas the board s size would also shrink if voters were to approve the change it would essentially undo what floridians did six years ago when they created the board the point was to reduce political meddling and infighting within the university system advocates said at the time board chairwoman carolyn roberts said she doesn t think voters have changed their minds since then without a strong board and unified system she said schools are likely to fight one against the other for needed funds from the legislature the legislature s relationship with the board meanwhile has been rocky especially over who has the authority to increase tuition at universities a matter they are currently fighting out in a lawsuit the amendment would make that dispute moot senate president pro tempore lisa carlton the sponsor said the legislature s tuition-setting authority is well established by existing law $100m of cocaine siezed the coast guard said it unloaded $100 million worth of cocaine at port everglades after seizing 3,200 pounds of the drug during a patrol of the western caribbean the coast guard said it spotted suspected drug smugglers in a speedboat march 18 and began to chase them the alleged smugglers began dumping bales overboard as they fled a coast guard helicopter which fired warning shots at the vessel the speedboat eluded capture but 50 bales of cocaine were recovered in 2007 coast guard crews seized a record $4.7 billion worth of cocaine joe cavaretta/the associated press florida gov charlie crist on thursday hugs west park resident josephine zacchio at mctyre park crist was touring the mobile clinics run by memorial health system s health intervention with targeted services which brings medical services to those who might not get it otherwise budget cuts take shape in legislature health care hit hard by david royse the associated press tallahassee nearly 20,000 people with catastrophic illnesses would no longer have hospital care paid for by the state ten thousand inner-city miami school kids wouldn t see a doctor as often county health departments which provide much of the primary care for florida s poor would see their budgets slashed nearly in half if the proposed health care budget that emerged in the state house on thursday remains as is it also would mean no more coverage of dental care vision care or hearing aids for adults in the medicaid program and at a nursing home in venice nursing assistant amy runkle may go from caring for 20 elderly people on the night shift to having 30 people to turn bathe help to the bathroom and make sure they re getting enough water how am i supposed to do that it s impossible asked an exasperated runkle it s very unsafe state legislators writing the budget for the coming year are in a bind with tax collections in a free-fall republicans who control the legislature are staunchly opposed to raising taxes so they say cutting back on services is inevitable democrats were incensed at the proposals these are not things a civilized community does said house democratic leader dan gelber of miami beach it isn t fair it isn t right it isn t moral the deepest proposed cuts in years aren t something lawmakers want to do said rep aaron bean the chairman of the house s health care committee but they have no choice until the economy improves it s a bummer said bean rfernandina beach democrats are outraged that republicans won t consider more use of state savings or entertain any ideas for bringing in more tax dollars the senate and house are both working on budgets that include hundreds of millions in health care cuts the final versions of each chamber s budget are expected to be ready for the full house and senate to debate next week the differences in the two plans would then have to be worked out and gov charlie crist gets a say with veto power over individual items in the spending plan proposed cuts hit at a wide swath of state government programs from everglades cleanup which is completely eliminated from the house s spending plans to education where some school districts are discussing the likely need to cut sports and other extracurricular activities miami-dade schools for example have raised the possibility they will eliminate field trips and cut the number of school police or security officers both the senate and house are proposing actual reductions in the amount of per-student spending in k-12 education something that hasn t happened in nearly four decades normally when lawmakers discuss cuts to education they re talking about reducing the amount of increase in a given year but plans to cut programs in health are raising particular concerns because of the potentially painful some even say fatal results in some cases the house s proposed budget would allow nursing homes a two-year break from minimum staffing requirements to cope with a 10 percent cut in what the government pays them and with less money and no requirement to do otherwise most homes like the one where runkle works would probably quickly cut employees she said it s a for-profit company why wouldn t they runkle said reducing staff in nursing homes would be a reversal of recent improvements that advocates for the elderly have been fighting for for several years among the critics of the idea is the huge senior lobby aarp which usually carries a lot of weight in senior-laden florida aarp is appalled that the house would even consider this said aarp s florida director lori parham the idea that the house would abdicate responsibility to the industry for our most frail and vulnerable residents is unacceptable another health care initiative targeted for a cut is the area health education centers program which provides medical care in poor underserved communities like miami s little haiti and the rural farming areas of central florida often using medical students the program also has six doctors who provide primary care for more than 10,000 children in 11 inner-city miami schools the proposed $7 million cut about two-thirds of the program s budget would likely mean two of those doctors would be laid off said dr arthur fournier the director of the initiative s miami program hospitals aren t spared in the house plan the rate medicaid pays for both outpatient and inpatient treatment would be cut by 10 percent county health departments would take one of the biggest hits with the house proposing to reimburse 61 percent of what they spend instead of 100 per cent that s a $55.8 million cut when federal matching money is factored in we ve got an infant mortality rate that is one of the highest in the nation and many of those pregnant moms go to the county

he s a happy man today officials announced thursday that they had identified the remains of johnson-reuben of minneapolis and joshua munns of redding calif the men were among six contractors kidnapped more than a year ago in two separate incidents in iraq iraqi prime minister vows to fight militias prime minister nouri al-maliki pledged no retreat thursday in the fight against shiite militias in the southern city of basra as thousands of protesters demanded he resign over the crackdown and extremists fired rockets into the u.s protected green zone shiite militia leader muqtada al-sadr called thursday for a political solution to the burgeoning crisis and an end to the shedding of iraqi blood but the statement released by a close aide stopped short of ordering his mahdi army militia to halt attacks on the green zone or stop fighting in basra iraq s second-largest city in a sign of the deteriorating security gunmen in baghdad seized a high-profile government spokesman from his home in a shiite neighborhood killing three of his bodyguards and torching his house in a bid to curb the violence iraq s military ordered vehicles and pedestrians off the streets of the capital until sunday morning bush says iraq making gains president bush said thursday that congressional critics have bullied iraq s leaders and ignored political progress achieved at the cost of u.s lives he also praised iraq s prime minister for making what bush said was a decisive move to take on shiite militias despite violent resistance and mounting protests bush s latest defense of the war took aim at a principal frustration in democratic-run congress that iraq s politicians have squandered time while u.s troops are dying some members of congress decided the best way to encourage progress in baghdad was to criticize and threaten iraq s leaders while they re trying to work out their differences bush told a military audience at the cavernous u.s air force museum envoy says u.s won t meddle in pakistan to help musharraf by ashraf khan the associated press karachi pakistan a senior u.s envoy promised thursday that washington would not interfere in pakistan s politics to save longtime ally president pervez musharraf but he was cautious on the new government s hopes to talk peace with pro-taliban forces deputy secretary of state john negroponte offered little defense for musharraf the former army general whose help in combatting islamic extremists was deemed crucial by washington after the sept 11 attack on the united states any debate with regard to the issue of his status is something that will have to be addressed by the internal pakistani political process negroponte said alluding to calls for musharraf to resign and an impeachment threat from an incoming government bent on slashing presidential powers we will certainly respect whatever is decided in that regard the diplomat told reporters in karachi the southern city that is pakistan s business center it was a clear indication washington has shifted from its singular reliance on musharraf in relations with this nuclear-armed islamic nation where voters repudiated the president s allies and handed his opponents a resounding victory in parliamentary elections last month negroponte and assistant secretary of state richard boucher met this week with musharraf s foes who are setting up a governing coalition after winning the most seats in the feb 18 voting partners in the new government have suggested dialogue k.m chaudary/the associated press pakistani protesters on thursday hold a rally in lahore pakistan to express their opposition to pakistan s president pervez musharraf with pro-taliban groups that are blamed for the country s escalating violence an approach that has drawn criticism from washington which has provided about $10 billion in aid to pakistan since 2001 negroponte said he did not see how it would be possible to hold discussions with some irreconcilable elements who want to destroy our way of life i don t see how you can talk to these kinds of people he said but he added that he thought some religious hard-liners could be persuaded to take part in the democratic process negroponte did not identify who the united states considers irreconcilable a potential source of dispute with pakistan s new government pressed on the issue he said he had not discussed tactics in his meetings with incoming leaders while pakistan is unlikely to entertain the possibility of talks with foreign militants linked to al-qaida the government could be willing to negotiate with pro-taliban fighters mounting attacks on pakistani security forces and suspected of attacks in afghanistan the incoming regional administration in the north west frontier province has signaled a willingness to negotiate

vandenhurk s first outing after florida made him its no 2 starter was a rough one vandenhurk walked five and needed 100 pitches to get through 423 innings in the marlins 2-0 loss to the st louis cardinals on thursday the right-hander allowed two runs and five hits but hurt himself with his command walking troy glaus with the bases loaded in the fifth inning a play here or a play there in that third inning and he might have been able to go deeper manager fredi gonzalez said obviously if you want to nitpick you want to cut down on the walks but i thought he did fine the marlins finalized
