Islamorada hotelier and 16-year resident Deb Gillis is thenewest member of the IslamoradaVillage Council, beating out fiveother well-known candidates forthe appointment Thursday night.

“I’m looking for someone ...who will serve our community

more than themselves,” saidCouncilman Dave Boerner, whonominated Gillis.

Others who sought appoint-ment to the job were former

council member Mike Forster,past council candidates RodHalenza and Dave Purdo, busi-ness owner Ken Philipson andretired electrical engineer JoeZiomek.

The council voted 4-0 to

appoint Gillis to the seat vacatedby Cathi Hill, who unexpectedlyresigned July 10 after a controver-sial vote on sewer assessments.

Hill was a staunch supporterof moving forward with buildingsewers and voted for the $5,700assessments for single-familyhomes to fund engineering and

A taste for lobster apparentlytrumps economic worries,because the mini-season diversare coming.

“The lobster should run and

hide now,” said Judy Hull,executive director of theIslamorada Chamber ofCommerce. “Everything indi-cates we’re going to have astrong mini-season.”

Florida’s sport-diving daysfor lobster, one of the busiesttimes in the Keys for tourism,arrive next week. They start at12:01 a.m. Wednesday and endat 11:59 p.m. Thursday (for all ofthe rules, see pages 18 and 19).

All 18 rooms at the DropAnchor Resort on Windley Keyare booked, said owner SteveKurutz. “I’ve got my regularscoming back,” he said. “Whenthey leave, a lot of time they go ahead and book for the nextseason.”

An average mini-seasonbrings more than 20,000 peopleto the Keys each year, and mostextend their stays through thefollowing weekend.

It’s now past the half-centurymark — 51 boat motors or lowerunits of motors stolen in the Keyssince Jan. 1.

And each day — seemingly asmore word spreads about thethefts — more ripoffs are report-ed. And think about this: Withlobster mini-season startingWednesday, whoever’s doing thestealing will have more opportu-nity, since thousands of visitingvessels are expected to comesouth in the hunt for crawfish.

This week, two people werearrested in separate boat thefts.But they were outnumbered bythe number of reported motorthefts. The latest:

construction of a central system.Hill was supported in her vote

by Mayor Don Achenberg andCouncilwoman Jill Zima Borski,while councilmen MichaelReckwerdt and Boerner opposedthe assessments. The fees willcome to a final vote on Aug. 6.

In Gillis’ first meeting, whichwas filled with discussion of sew-ers, she showed a more cautiousstance and demanded more finan-cial information from staff beforeproceeding.

“The whole idea of me sittinghere ... is to start telling our peo-ple what’s going on,” she said.

Although Gillis receivedpraise from several council mem-bers and residents at the meeting,her appointment wasn’t without abit of controversy.

Before the council vote,Ziomek took himself out of therunning when he told the council,“As I look at this position, I’mnot sure I’m capable of doing it.”

But Councilwoman Jill ZimaBorski said she was “not going totake no for an answer,” and

named Ziomek, Forster andPhilipson as her top three candi-dates.

Both Boerner and Achenbergselected Gillis, Halenza andPhilipson as their top three.Reckwerdt selected Gillis,Philipson and Purdo.

While Philipson had four totalvotes to Gillis’ three, Gillis wasultimately nominated andappointed.

That led Zima Borski todivulge that several residents toldher the appointment had “alreadybeen made” behind closed doors.

Forster also chided Boernerfor stating his choice of Gillis inthe media prior to the meeting.

Gillis will serve until the regu-lar council elections in March2010. She said she hasn’t decidedif she will seek election.

Marina and motel staffsthroughout the Keys said theydon’t expect the economic down-turn to cause a noticeable drop inthe number of people who arriveto dive this year.

“They might cut back on somethings but they still want to divefor lobster and stay in a motel,”Kurutz said.

At the Greater MarathonChamber of Commerce, motelbookings are strong, saidExecutive Director Daniel Samess.

“We’re still a good, affordablegetaway. People can come down,catch some lobster and have itcooked up for them. That’s nottoo shabby of a holiday.”

A few rooms were still avail-able in many areas, but hotelierswarned visitors not to head southwithout reservations.

On Thursday, about 82 percentof accommodations from StockIsland to the Seven Mile Bridgewere booked for mini-season,according to a Lower KeysChamber of Commerce survey.

Mya Myers, co-owner of Big

Pine Key Boat Rentals, said all11 boats in the firm’s fleet arereserved for Wednesday andThursday.

Capt. Pip’s Boat Rental inMarathon said the same for all 20boats there. And at the nearby 7Mile Marina, all eight slips forvisiting boaters have beenbooked for Wednesday andThursday, dockmaster DanRodacille said.

A few of the 20 boats at AIAWatersports in Islamorada stillhadn’t been reserved as ofThursday, but booker Dot Pollarddid not expect it to stay that wayfor long.

“Our walk-ins will take them,if they’re not reserved beforethen,” Pollard said. “On everymajor holiday this year, wehaven’t had one piece of equip-ment left to rent.”

Hull, at the Islamorada cham-ber, said mini-season didn’t sellout as early as it has in some pre-vious years, but the calls in recentweeks have been steady. “Itslowed us down a little but it willbe a good season,” she said.

“The economy is affectingeverything but our numbers actu-

ally are up over last year,” saidSamess at the Marathon chamber.

“People are still coming. A lotof weekenders from SouthFlorida come every weekend thistime of year.”

Mini-season visitors havealready started arriving, withmore expected today and Sunday,he said.

People who dive for lobster inmini-season most hold a statesaltwater fishing license with alobster stamp.

The number of people whohave purchased a lobster stampdid drop by about 5 percent overthe past year, according to figuresfrom the Florida Fish andWildlife ConservationCommission. As of June 30, thestate had sold 104,277 lobsterstamps in the preceding 12months.

That’s down from 110,335 inthe state’s 2007-08 fiscal year,and 109,111 in 2006-07.

“It’s been a little slower thanlast year, but not drastically slow-er,” said Blake Stincer, a staffer atthe Scuba Outlet store in KeyLargo. “It’s picking up. By mid-week, it’ll be bananas.”

Key West police say thatrecent high-profile muggingsaren’t indicative of a breakdownin public safety — but based onthe ages of the suspects, perhapsa breakdown in community.

“Key West is still a safe com-munity,” Police Chief Donie Leetold the Keynoter on Friday.“Does that mean you need to letyour guard down? No.”

Lee addressed three recent rob-bery-related incidents in whichpolice have arrested seven sus-pects ranging in age from 15 to 18.

“I think that they’re unusual inthe fact that juveniles are com-mitting these types of violentcrimes,” Lee said “There’s a lotof social factors that come intoplay — families, the economy —all sorts of different factors thatthe police can’t control. Theseproblems are community prob-lems that need to be addressed ona variety of levels.”

In the past 12 months, therewere approximately 660 simpleand aggravated assault cases inthe Southernmost City, policespokeswoman Alyson Creansays.

Between Jan. 1 and this pastWednesday, police fielded morethan 300 such reports; the vastmajority involved domestic dis-putes or were alcohol-related —not the type of random acts ofviolence that have been publi-cized lately.

“I would say the majority ofassaults are alcohol related,” Leesaid. “A good many are domesticrelated. These things happen everyweekend in Key West. These rob-beries are not crimes that happeneveryday. A lot of our crime in KeyWest is associated with alcohol.”

But the latest attacks appar-ently were spurred by money.

On June 13, Tom Milone, a63-year-old civic activist andCity Commission candidate, wasbrutally beaten on Frances Street.He had to be airlifted to Miami,where doctors set two breaks inhis jaw with titanium platesbefore wiring his jaw shut.

The same group of fourteenagers allegedly jumpedDonald Sullivan, 65, just minutes

earlier on Elizabeth Street.According to police, Sullivan sawthe group cruising on bikes look-ing in car windows. One of thefour approached him asking for acigarette, and the attack began.

Police apprehendedChristopher Harris, 17, CorneliusJones, 17, Thomas Reza, 16, and18-year-old Jonathan Bien-Aime.All are charged with aggravatedbattery and robbery. Police didn’tsay what led them to the sus-pects, but said the three youngestconfessed.

Then, this past Tuesday, just aweek after the attacks on Miloneand Sullivan, police arrestedthree more teens for beating aman on Duval Street.

Peter Cohens, 41, was walk-ing on Duval Street around 3a.m., according to police reports,when three people came upbehind him, hit on the head, thenkicked him in the ribs anddemanded money after he fell tothe ground.

Thursday, police arrestedOtha Matthews, 16, Thomas

Sipos, 15, and Martin Jonis, 16;all are charged with attempting torob Cohens.

And on July 8 around 10:15p.m., Seund Lee was robbed atGrinnell and Fleming streets. Hewas beaten and airlifted to Miamias a result of his injuries. Noarrests have been made.

“We need to get back to tradi-tional good neighbors lookingout for each other,” Lee said.“No. 1, we need to get back toknowing who our neighbors are.That’s where we start, knowingwho should be there and whoshouldn’t be there.”

Lee also urges residents tonotify police if they notice suspi-cious activity.

“Let us be the judge if the infoyou’re giving us is significant.We need the community. That’show we’re successful. We getthis extra set of eyes and ears outthere. We need community solu-tions.”

lower unit recently stolen thatwasn’t taken from the LowerKeys.

The boat was parked on U.S. 1and for sale, near WoodwardWay. The owner said he had it forsale on craigslist and received acall from someone who’d seenthe boat and wanted to knowwhere the lower unit was. Theowner then went to check on theboat and called the Sheriff’sOffice when he realized the lowerunit was gone.

◆ A Ramrod Key man report-ed the motor from his neighbor’sboat was missing on Wednesday.The man, who was taking care ofhis neighbor’s Indies Drive prop-erty, told Deputy David Brummerthat engine wires appeared tohave been cut and there was gasand oil on the ground. The motorwas a 2001 115 horse powerYamaha.

◆ On Tuesday, four lowerunits were reported stolen fromBig Pine Key, two from boats onDriftwood Street and two fromboats on Poinciana Street.

Lower units contain suchthings as the gear box. They’rerelatively easy to steal; all it takesis removing a few bolts.

“That’s probably why they’retargeting the lower units,” saysBobby Dube, spokesman for theFlorida Fish and Wildlife Conser-vation Commission in the Keys.

He says the agency isn’t put-ting together a special task forceor anything to keep watch on ves-sels for mini-season becausethere will already be extra offi-cers here.

“Like every year, we bringadditional officers for mini-sea-son,” he says. “Honestly, we do itanyway, keep watch. If we seeany type of boat that doesn’tmatch up, we look at it. Let’s sayyou have $80,000 worth ofengine and a $500 boat, that’s aclue, of course.”

While the cops are hustling totry to keep track of all of thethefts, they did make a pair ofarrests this week.

Thursday, a traffic stop inMarathon led to the arrest ofKevin O’Neal, 20, of Lauderdaleby the Sea in Broward County.

Deputy Bradford Colen hadpulled O’Neal over at 2:30 a.m.when he noticed the trailer hewas towing had no lights on it.Turned out the license tagattached to the trailer wasn’t the

right tag and he didn’t have a reg-istration for it. On the trailer wasa 17-foot 1997 Maverick flatsboat.

O ’ N e a lreportedly saidhe knew aboutthe violationsbut just want-ed to get theboat home.Colen issuedhim two cita-tions. His trail-er was towed.

Then at 6 p.m. Thursday, aSummerland Key man called theSheriff’s Office to report his1997 Maverick and trailer stolen.

“We told him, we have yourboat,” Deputy Becky Herrin says.

At 1:30a.m. Friday,d e p u t i e spulled O’Nealover in hispickup onLittle TorchKey andcharged himwith grandtheft and deal-

ing in stolen property.Wednesday, Key West police

arrested city resident YasmanySantana, 25, for allegedly steal-ing a 17-foot Century with an 80horse power Yamaha on it. It wasstolen from where it sat traileredat Georgia and Eliza streets.

The cops worked with theSheriff’s Office, which hadreceived a tip on Monday thatsomeone was switching out astolen outboard motor in front ofa Stock Island apartment.Deputies found the boat com-pletely stripped of everything —including the center console.

Witnesses identified Santanaas the perp, police say. He wascharged with grand theft.

Look familiar? These are the first two winnersof the Hemingway Days lookalike contest, TomFeeney (left) and Richard Parrish. This year’s event— the 29th annual — culminates with final judgingat Sloppy Joe’s on Duval Street at 6:30 tonight.

Look-alike contestants come from throughoutthe United States, and some from Europe, SouthAmerica and other faraway locales, to vie for thetitle of “Papa.” Most costume themselves in khakisafari outfits or wool fishermen’s sweaters, emu-

lating the author’s best-known look.Entrants often compete for several years

before earning the crown, as did 2008’s TomGrizzard of Leesburg, who emerged victorious onhis eighth attempt.

Among the look-alike events is Sloppy Joe’sRunning of the Bulls, inspired by the world-renowned event in Pamplona, Spain, but executedwith a quirky Key West twist. The extravaganzabegins at 1 p.m. today outside Sloppy Joe’s.

Celebrating our past‘Let’s say youhave $80,000worth ofengine and a$500 boat,that’s a clue,of course.’— Bobby Dube, spokesman forthe Florida Fish and WildlifeConservation Commission

You knew this was going tohappen: Former Marathon CityManager Scott Janke, firedTuesday from his job in FortMyers Beach when it wasrevealed his wife stars in pornfilms, went public on national TVto plead his case.

And he’s gone viral on theWeb, with a “Scott Janke” searchon Google turning up 1.84 mil-lion hits early Friday afternoon.

On CBS’ “The Early Show,”on which he appeared with hiswife on Friday, Janke said, “Whenthis story began to break, I wasactually called by a local reporter,who also called the mayor about aday before he was going to actual-ly print these articles. And themayor and I chatted on the phone.Because of my ethics, I said, ‘I’mwilling to resign with compensa-tion if the town council thinks itwill help the community not be sodistracted.’”

He said he now needs a job,and asked “The Early Show” co-anchor Harry Smith, “You gotsomething?”

The Town Council in FortMyers Beach, in southwestFlorida, voted 5-0 Tuesday to firethe 55-year-old Janke withoutcause after it became public thathis wife, Anabela Mota Janke,43, works in the adult entertain-ment industry under the stagename Jazella Moore.

The Portugal native hasappeared in pornographic sceneson film, online and in variouspublications.

Scott Janke told the Keynoter,“I’m not really going to commentright now.” But it an interviewwith Adult Industry News pub-lished online Thursday, Jankesaid his wife lived in constantfear of being recognized.

“We have thought about it andtried to keep a low profile. Iguess we knew it would happenone day but hoped that it would-n’t really matter,” Janke told thenewsletter.

Janke was Marathon’s firstfull-time city manager, servingfrom December 2002 to August2004, when he quit after losingthe support of the City Council.

He started as manager of FortMyers Beach, where he met hiswife, in March 2008.

At least one of his former boss-es in Marathon, past City Councilmember John Bartus, said Jankemight have met a different fatehad it been revealed while heworked in the Keys that his wifestarred in porn flicks (he was mar-ried to another woman, who did-n’t work in adult entertainment,when he lived in the Keys).

“I wonder if it would be differ-ent with the council we have nowor past councils if this had comeup. It seems that people’s person-al lives and their political livesare different here, or at least keptsomewhat separate,” Bartus said.

Bartus said while Janke fell outof favor with the council near theend of his short tenure inMarathon, he was clearly the topcandidate when the city hiredhim.

“He was hired because he wasthe best manager of the bunchwhen we did a city managersearch. He had lots of experiencein the public sector in Alaska anddid a great job in Seward,” Bartussaid, referring to the Alaska cityJanke left to return to the Keys.He was a planner for MonroeCounty in 1987 and 1988.

In Alaska, Janke sometimesworked alongside Sarah Palin,the Republican Party candidatefor vice president last year, whenshe was Wasilla mayor. He toldAdult Industry News he feelsPalin wouldn’t be bothered by hiswife’s occupation.

“She is a bigger lady thanthat,” Janke said.

All over the Web, peopleweighing in on Janke’s firing say

it’s unjust because he did nothingillegal — and neither does hiswife.

University of Miami Schoolof Law Professor DavidAbraham, an expert in labor law,said it’s a touchy subject.

Abraham said the UnitedStates has operated by a basicrule for more than a centurywhen it comes to firings: “Absentcontractual agreement to the con-trary ... the basic U.S. rule is anyreason or no reason at all, so longas it’s not a forbidden reason.”

Abraham said race and reli-gion are “forbidden reasons” andthat repressing the free speech ofa family member may be, too.

“If he were successfully to saythat he was fired because his wifewas engaging in an act which isperfectly legal, then his firingwould be illegitimate. If [thetown’s] counter-argument wasthat he was being fired notbecause of the specifics of whathis wife does but that it bringsshame and ridicule onto thetown, then the town wins,” he

said.Janke hasn’t said if he’ll sue

Fort Myers Beach, but he wasawarded six months salary($50,000) and paid health bene-fits when fired.

As for Mrs. Janke, she toldAdult Industry News she’ll returnto the industry she shied awayfrom because of Scott’s career.

“Hopefully more movies andphoto shoots,” she said of herhopes for the future. “After all, itis about me taking care of myfamily.”

Time to say yes toselling Harris school

“Harris School an asset for all the Keys.”That was the headline in the Feb. 17, 2006, Keynoter accom-

panying a letter to the editor from School Board memberDuncan Mathewson.

At the time, he was lauding then-Gov. Jeb Bush and theCabinet for their patience in waiting more than a year for theMonroe County School Board to make up its mind about sell-ing the Harris School to the state of Florida.

The state offered $5.4 million and a long-term lease to theRodell Foundation, which had a dream of preserving the his-toric building and converting Key West’s first high school intoan artists’ retreat, studios and a culinary institute.

Unfortunately, Key West politics entered the mix and theSchool Board back then see-sawed from go to no-go and backto go. This dragged on from December of 2004 until Februaryof 2006.

That’s when the governor had his fill, and the state’s $5.4million offer was withdrawn.

Rodell moved on and focused its philanthropy on the Studiosof Key West.

In the three years since, whispers were heard about develop-ers eyeing the Old Town location, even some sort of develop-ment swap with the School District’s Trumbo Point holdings.That only made things murkier.

Now the School Board (with two new members since thatlast debacle) faces a similar dilemma: Sell to a willing buyerfor $4.5 million, or keep holding this abandoned property? Andhold in hopes of what, better times?

Board member Debra Walker made a plea last week for boardmembers to at least walk through the historic building beforedeciding this Tuesday, when the board meets in regular session,whether to sell it, for $4.5 million, to one Peter M. Brawn.

The current offer expires July 31 and the prospective buyereven sweetened it by agreeing verbally to pick up the cost of titleinsurance, documentary stamps and the real estate commission.

Mathewson asked the buyer’s agent, Curtis Skomp, aboutcleanup costs. And as might be expected in any 100-year-oldstructure, asbestos and lead-based paint means costly cleanupfor any new owner — maybe as much as $500,000.

For those who believe the board should hold out for moremoney, waiting on a deep-pocket developer, board ChairmanAndy Griffiths asked: “How many offers have we had in thepast decade? The past 20 years?”

The district abandoned this historic building long ago. Eventhe state’s generous offer to preserve it for educational purpos-es ran aground on the rock that is Key West politics.

Time to move on. Take the money and run.

EDITOR:I read with great interest, and a good deal of

puzzlement, the letter to the editor in which thewriter alleged misfeasance on the part of theMarathon City Council in approving a portion ofRotary Park for use as a dog park. She indicatesthe city published evasive notices, kept thingsquiet and continues to be silent.

I’m puzzled because it seems evident to methat nothing about the dog park has been secre-tive. Although I am not an active member of thecitizens group that laid the groundwork and hasbeen raising money, I have followed their activi-ties for many months.

Each of the several council meetings at whichthe dog park was discussed listed the item on thepublished agendas. The local newspapers havewritten numerous stories from the beginning. The

dog park group has publicized all fundraisingevents and even a Facebook page. I simply don’tsee how anyone could have missed the ongoingdiscussions.

It’s clear the letter writer is unhappy with thedecision. It also appears clear that she hopes toget her way by making unfair, potentially damag-ing statements about the city and the city dogpark group.

I am a taxpaying resident of Monroe Countywho cares about our community and all of its cit-izens. I do not believe that turning a portion ofthe Rotary Park area into a quality, protected dogpark will have a negative effect on the city or itschildren. The people working so hard to makethis happen have my complete support.

EDITOR:If you are waiting on stimulus funds to help

us pay for sewers, forget about it. Stimulusmoney is only available for shovel-ready proj-ects. Monroe County will not be shovel readyuntil the sales tax is voted on and approved.

Stimulus money is a one-time proposition,only one chance for creative contracts. A salestax is a multiple-year proposition, many opportu-nities for Bubba work.

Stimulus money is federal money. Federalauthorities are responsible for ensuring funds are

spent responsibly and investigate theft or misap-propriation of federal money. Sales tax money isa state or county distribution of money. The StateAttorney’s Office is responsible for overseeingthe use of the money. If you wonder how effec-tive the state is, watch what happens with theSchool District scandal.

Stimulus money has been granted for theMarathon sewers. Stimulus money is availablefor the bike trail. Stimulus money is available foreverything but our sewers.

Additional sales tax money will enable thecounty to continue buying restaurants we don’twant, expanding airport terminals that far exceedour needs, and how many Taj Mahal fire stationshave we built? How much money was expendedon the fishing expansions on the old bridges?These are mostly used by people from Miami whodrive down with their coolers full of beer, bait andpicnic lunches. They use our restrooms, leave theirtrash and spend nothing at the local merchants.

How I long for commissioners who are asresourceful at saving money as they are creativeat finding a way to stick their grubby hands inour pockets.

Curtis BrownBig Pine Key

Editor’s note: The fishing platforms on the oldbridges were paid for by the state, not the county.

Give ’em more money, and they’ll find a way to waste it

EDITOR:Now that the annual kitten season is slowing

down, local animal shelters are filled with catsliterally crying out for homes. Stand Up forAnimals commends the following for helping inthe battle against pet overpopulation:

◆ Forgotten Felines and Caring for Cats. Thewonderful volunteers of these organizationsspend so many hot muggy, buggy nights tirelesstrapping and altering cats. I cannot fathom howmany more cats our county shelters would havewere it not for their tireless efforts.

◆ Pampered Pets and Whalton’s Big Pine Keypet stores. The staffs of these stores lovingly hostour shelter felines until homes are found and dis-play posters of shelter animals up for adoption.

While the problem of pet overpopulation mayseem insurmountable, over the past seven years,Stand Up for Animals has seen a decline in thenumber of kittens surrendered to our shelters.Enforcement of Monroe County’s litter laws,which require registration of breeding cats anddogs and penalties for allowing unaltered ani-mals to run loose, combined with the vigilantaltering of animals and the terrific efforts of theabove-mentioned groups, brings us ever closer toa world where every animal is loved and wanted.

For information on low-cost pet sterilization,please contact your local animal shelter.

Decrease pet population

A combination of naturalsummer conditions likely trig-gered a localized fish kill innorthern Florida Bay this week,says a researcher with Audubonof Florida.

“It’s not a great thing, but it’sprobably ecologically insignifi-cant,” said Peter Frezza,research coordinator atAudubon’s Tavernier ScienceCenter. “It occurred in a veryconfined area of a large bay.”

Frezza said most of the deadfish he saw while boatingthrough the area — southeast ofFlamingo and Snake Bight,around Buoy Key — were mul-

let.“There were thousands of

dead fish but I’d estimate 95 per-cent were mullet,” he said.“When you think about howmany mullet are out there inFlorida Bay, it’s not anything toworry about.”

There have been scatteredreports of anglers spotting red-fish or snook among the floatingbodies.

“I only saw one redfish, and afew ladyfish and needle fish,”Frezza said. “The rest were mul-let. I didn’t see any dead snookor sea trout.”

“The tarpon are stuffed” aftergorging on the dead or dyingmullet, he added. “So it’s not allgloom and doom. There’sabsolutely an ecological benefitto this for species like sharks,tarpon and even snails.”

The first reports of dead fishwere received Tuesday andWednesday.

“These things happen,”Everglades National Park biolo-gist David Hallac told the MiamiHerald. “It’s just the size of itthat was concerning.”

Hallac said the park collectedwater samples and is working

with the Florida Fish andWildlife ConservationCommission to pinpoint theproblem. Until results are in, thecause will remain officiallyunresolved.

But Frezza said he suspectsthat hot summer temperaturesmixed with a buildup of deadseagrass from natural “shed-ding” caused a drop in oxygenlevels in the affected area.

“I highly doubt there was anytoxin involved, and it’s not oneof the harmful algae blooms,” hesaid. “It’s almost certainly aresult of low dissolved-oxygenlevels in the water.”

Winds seem to have trapped alarge quantity of dead vegetationfrom in the area, rather thanpushing out into the larger Gulf

of Mexico to the west, he said.“There’s rafts and rafts of thestuff right now,” he said.

Bacteria that feed on the deadvegetation remove oxygen fromthe water, which becomes aproblem when photosynthesis isnot replacing enough oxygen tosupport fish life.

Areas like basins that do notexperience significant tidalflushing are particularly prone tolow-oxygen fish kills, Frezzasaid.

“Water temperatures proba-bly had something to do with it,”he said. “They got pretty highout there.”

This report was supplementedwith material from the MiamiHerald.

The Marathon City Council onTuesday will take up the issue ofwhether to extend the length ofcouncil members’ terms from twoto three years, something Council-woman Ginger Snead wants.

Snead told the Keynoter thatcouncil members — especiallynew ones like her — don’t havequite enough time to settle intooffice with two-year terms.

“I feel like I spent the first yearlearning, and if I choose to runnext year, I’ll spend that year cam-paigning,” Snead said. “I think weneed a year at a time where peoplearen’t campaigning.”

“We’re no longer building acity; we are a city. So maybe weshould leave people in there and

extend the job,” she said.In a November 2006 referen-

dum, residents voted down a ref-erendum to extend terms to threeyears.

“We already put that to thevoters; they flat shot it down,”Councilman Pete Worthingtonsaid. “They didn’t want three-year terms, so I respect what mybosses tell me.”

But they did approve at-largeraces rather than the previousmethod of running for seat-specif-ic council seats. And in March2007, voters approved a referen-dum to move City Council elec-tions to November from the spring.

Snead said she’s concernedthat the city pays roughly$30,000 every other year to puton the council election. That’s foryears when there is no county,state or national election.

“That’s a lot of money to pay.Hopefully we have more peoplecome out, otherwise we’re pay-

ing $30,000 for three people torun for two places,” she said,referring to this year’s election.

Mayor Mike Cinque and ViceMayor Don Vasil are running forre-election. So far their only oppo-nent is “Bicycle” Joannie Nelson.

Councilman Dick Ramsaysaid he agrees with Snead — pro-vided the vote is not retroactive tothe most recent election of him-self, Snead and Councilman PeteWorthington.

“Every year we have elec-tions. During the election period,the people who are up for elec-tion are more inclined to makedecisions based on trying to getelected or politics,” he said.

Cinque and Vasil said they feelthe system works well as it is, butthat they’d support a referendum.

“I’ve always been happy withthe two years but if the peoplewant to go longer, it’s theirchoice,” Cinque said.

“I think the system is workingfine, but if the general publicfeels there should be a change, Iwould be happy to put it on theballot because I represent thepeople of Marathon,” Vasil said.

In October, Key West voterswill cast ballots in a referendumon whether to extend the mayoralterm from two to four years.

would like to remind you to please be safe and aware during this Mini Lobster Season

DRINK WATER: Drink plenty of water before diving and limit drinks containing caffeine and alcohol. Being well-hydrated also can help divers avoid decompres-sion and sea sickness. Get plenty of sleep and do not eat spicy or fatty food the night before to avoid sea sickness.

WEAR AND REAPPLY SUNSCREEN: Most sun burn blisters are first-degree burns that cause the skin to become red, warm and tender to the touch.

MAKE A SLOW ASCENT: A diver's rate of ascent should get progressively slower as he or she nears the surface. A rule of thumb: If you're rising as fast as your bubbles, that's too fast. You should rise about half the speed of your bubbles. The Scuba Club recommends divers let the air out of their buoyancy compensators (BCs) before beginning the ascent and begin the ascent with at least 800 pounds of air. Divers should have at least 500 pounds of reserve air pressure at the end of a dive.

Call / visit the hospital immediately for consultation if experiencing tingling and joint pain typical of the bends.

STAY WITH A GROUP: The boat operator should know when the divers are due up, how and when to call the Coast Guard on the VHF radio for help, the location of the dive and any medications the divers are using. Those diving from private boats should discuss the dive plan with the person operating the boat.

EMERGENCIES: Call the Coast Guard on VHF channel 16 while boating or call 911 on land.

Suspended schools Super-intendent Randy Acevedo’sdefense attorney has submitted alist of people she wants todepose on behalf of her client,who is accused of trying to coverup for some of his wife’s allegedthefts from the Monroe CountySchool District.

In motions filed July 16 inMonroe County Circuit Court,Acevedo attorney CatherineVogel says she plans to depose10 people, including several dis-trict employees, this comingMonday and Thursday. Theyare:

◆ Jeff Hutcheson, FloridaDepartment of Law Enforce-ment agent.

◆ Andrew Kempel, StateAttorney’s Office investigator.

◆ Andy Griffiths, SchoolBoard chairman.

◆ Diana Flenard, MonroeAssociation for ReMARCableCitizens executive director.

◆ Mark Lindas, MARCworkshop manager.

◆ Katherine Reitzel, SchoolDistrict finance director.

◆ Linda Walker, SchoolDistrict accountant.

◆ Sally Smith, School Board

secretary.◆ Diomi Alfonso, School

District finance specialist.◆ Sandra Shaw, School

District administrative aide.On Monday, School District

attorney Richard Collins sent ane-mail advising staff and boardmembers on the depositionprocess.

Collins wrote: “Since theSchool Board is neither theplaintiff nor the defendant [inthe Acevedo case], an employeeneeds to be on leave status inorder to not lose any pay for thetime spent in the deposition.”

Acevedo was charged June11 with official misconduct, afelony. That day, Gov. CharlieCrist suspended him with pay.Veteran administrator MikeHenriquez has been filling in.

The charge stems fromAcevedo allegedly covering uptheft by his wife, former SchoolDistrict Adult EducationCoordinator Monique Acevedo,by giving district finance staffersa letter justifying the cost of asatellite radio subscription thatwas written on MARC’s letter-head. MARC officials have saidthey never wanted, nor received,such a subscription.

Monique Acevedo is chargedwith theft and fraud for alleged-ly stealing $180,000 in districtcash that was meant as tuitionfor adult education programs.

The Monroe CountyCommission approved a startingproposed tax rate 2.45 percentabove rollback Friday after lis-tening to budget presentations byconstitutional officers anddepartment heads.

The approved rate of 3.8821takes into account several specialsewer taxing districts, a $113,000increase in the county HealthDepartment budget and 4 percentraises for Sheriff’s Officedeputies and corrections officersearning less than $70,000.

The commission was adamantthe rate will be whittled down infuture meetings as cuts are madebefore final budget adoption Sept.23. The fiscal year starts on Oct. 1.

The approved millage rate of3.8821 doesn’t apply to all resi-dents. For example, only thosewho live in the areas affected bysewer taxing districts will payinto them.

The rollback tax rate is therate that would collect the sameamount in tax dollars next year asthe current fiscal year. Thisyear’s adopted millage rate forunincorporated Monroe Countyis 3.19.

The owner of a houseassessed at $300,000 paid $957in county taxes this year. At the3.8821 rate, the same ownerwould pay $1,164 next year —assuming the house retained itsvalue.

But property values in

Monroe decreased significantlythis year, from $26.7 billion to$22.25 billion, meaning a small-er valuation to tax.

One thing future budgets willnot include, commissioners decid-ed, are 4 percent raises forSheriff’s Office administrativestaff earning under $50,000. Thecommission turned down theincreases after constitutional offi-cers like County Clerk DannyKolhage said the same increaseshould be given to all countyemployees.

But the commission wasn’ttoo keen on awarding raises ofany kind this year in a strugglingeconomy.

“I am very much concernedabout this economy. I don’t thinkwe’re out of the woods by anystretch. Any kind of raise ... is notgoing to happen on my vote. I’mnot grandstanding; I’m just veryconcerned about where we are,”Mayor George Neugent said.

Sheriff Bob Peryam included4 percent increases for streetdeputies and jail officers in his$41 million budget, which isequal to the current year’s figure,but said he eliminated 24.5 jobsto allow for raises.

“I know these are tough eco-nomic times. That’s why I cutpositions in order to get raises.These deputies are way under-paid; the corrections officers areway underpaid,” Peryam said.

An attorney for the PoliceBenevolent Association is chal-lenging the ability of the KeyWest Citizen Review Board toissue subpoenas and, in turn, theentire validity of the police over-sight board.

“It’s not unexpected whatthey filed,” CRB ExecutiveDirector Steve Muffler told theKeynoter “The logic is thateverything the city of Key Westhas done up to this point is ille-gal. It’s an interesting argu-ment.”

On July 15, Sgt. PabloRodriguez’s attorney, RheaGrossman, filed a motion inCircuit Court asking for the dis-missal of a CRB lawsuit thataims to get Rodriguez to answera CRB subpoena.

Grossman contends the CRBdoesn’t have subpoena power.

Voters created the oversightpanel in 2002 through a referen-dum. It’s an independent boardthat investigates complaintsagainst police officers concur-rently with the PoliceDepartment’s Internal Affairsinvestigations.

The city charter amendmentthat sets up the CRB reads: “TheCRB may subpoena witnessesand documents when conductingan investigation.”

And subpoena they did.In February, the CRB subpoe-

naed Rodriguez to testify as partof a complaint Omar Brownfiled with the board. In 2006,Rodriguez had arrested Brownin connection with a robbery at ajewelry store.

Brown, who goes to trial onAug. 17 before Judge MarkJones, alleges Rodriguez lied onan affidavit submitted to a judge

for a search warrant.Rodriguez refused to testify

before the CRB about Brown’sclaim, so the CRB subpoenaedhim. He ignored it, so boardattorney Robert Cintron sued inCircuit Court in February tocompel him to testify.

Grossman argues that becauseKey West elected officials haveno subpoena power themselvesvested by the state Constitution,they cannot confer subpoenapower to an independent boardthrough a city charter amend-ment.

This issue isn’t just playingout in the Southernmost City.

Based on conflicting appel-late decisions in Miami andOrange County, one upholdingCRB subpoena power and theother dismissing it, respectively,the issue could head to the stateSupreme Court.

Keynoter12 Saturday, July 25, 2009

All interested parties are notified that an application dated 16March 2009, revised on 29 May 2009, has been received from theLPA Group, Inc. on behalf of the Florida Department ofTransportation, District Six and the Florida Department ofEnvironmental Protection (FDEP) by the Commander, SeventhCoast Guard District, for approval of location and plans for abridge conversion over a navigable waterway of the UnitedStates. The bridge owner is the Florida Department ofEnvironmental Protection.

WATERWAY AND LOCATION: Kemp Channel, on the OldFlorida East Coast Railroad (FEC) corridor adjacent to U.S.Highway 1 between Cudjoe Key and Summerland Key on MileMarker 23.5 to 23.8, Monroe County, Florida.

CHARACTER OF WORK: The proposed project consists ofpreservation of a segment of an abandoned railway corridorincluding a bridge conversion for use as a pedestrian crossingadjacent to the U.S. Highway 1 Bridge. FDEP is proposing toreplace three gaps within the existing structure with one steel andtwo concrete pedestrian bridges (Kemp Channel PedestrianBridges). The overall length of the three bridges will be 116 feetbetween abutments. The out to out width of all three bridges willbe 11 feet 6 inches. The project also includes repairing and resur-facing the existing structure and adds railings in missing areas.The project will serve as part of the FDEP Office of Greenwaysand Trails, Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail and be used forvarious recreational activities. The steel pedestrian bridge willexhibit navigational lights marking the navigational channel forboaters. Lane closures on U.S. Highway 1 Bridge may be requiredto place structural members and proprietary pedestrian bridges.

MINIMUM NAVIGATIONAL CLEARANCES:

East Concrete Bridge Vertical: 14.68 feet above Mean Vertical 15.14 feet above High Water (existing US Hwy 1 Mean High WaterBridge - Existing structure has a gap)

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The Federal Highway Administration, the lead federal agency,had determined that the proposed action is a ProgrammaticCategorical Exclusion for the purposes of the NationalEnvironmental Policy Act. The documents are available forreview at the above address, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m.to 5:00 p.m. The bridges are located in the floodplain. The 100-year flood level is 13.6 feet, mean sea level (MSL) at the pro-posed steel bridge, while elevation of the low member of thebridge is 15.62 feet, mean sea level. At the west concrete bridgethe 100-year flood level is 10.6 feet, MSL, while elevation of thelow member is 14.7 feet, MSL. At the east concrete bridge the100-year flood level is 9.6 feet, MSL, while elevation of the lowmember is 14.7 fee, MSL.

There is no fill associated with the construction and repair theproposed Kemp Channel Pedestrian Bridges. It has been con-firmed by the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) that the pro-posed project has no in water work, therefore no ACOE Section10 permit is required. No wetlands will be impacted by the pro-

posed project. South Florida Water Management District hasissued an Environmental Resource Standard General Permitdated May 19, 2009 satisfying water quality certification pur-suant to Section 401, Public Law 92-500, 33 USC Section 1341,as amended. No parklands, wildlife refuges, critical habitat forthreatened or endangered species will be affected by the proposedproject.

The existing Old FEC Railroad corridor has been determined tobe eligible for inclusion in the National Register of HistoricPlaces (NRHP). In compliance with the National HistoricPreservation Act of 1966, Section 106 (16 U.S.C 470) coordina-tion between the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO),FHWA, lead federal agency and FDEP has been completed.SHPO concluded that the proposed project will not adverselyaffect the Kemp Channel Bridges. No residential or business dis-placements are anticipated in association with the proposedbridge conversion project.

SOLICITATION OF COMMENTS:

Mariners are requested to comment on the placements of a bridgeprotective fendering system and other navigational safety issues,including need for clearance gauges and extent of nighttime nav-igation past the bridge site.

Interested parties are requested to express their views, in writing,on the proposed bridge project including its possible impact onminority and/or low income population, if any, giving sufficientdetail to establish a clear understanding of their reasons or sup-port of or opposition to the proposed work. Comments should besent to Commander (dpb), Seventh Coast Guard District, 909S.E. 1st Avenue, Suite 432, Miami, Florida 33131 and should bemailed to arrive on or before 30 days from the date of this notice.These comments will be made part of the case record.

PUBLIC NOTICE (05-09)

A Monroe County request foroffers to buy county-ownedHickory House restaurant and barproperty on Stock Island returnedjust one bid — and a lackluster oneat that, county commissioners say.

The lone bid came from KeyWest resident Vinicio Sangermano,whose proposal is to lease the prop-erty for $1 per year for 30 years.

Sangermano’s bid says he esti-mates making between $3 millionand $5 million of improvementsat the property, hence an unwill-ingness to pay more to lease it.

Among his plans if approved:New businesses catering to thecommercial fishing industry, anew restaurant, housing for 30 to40 employees, repairing existingseawalls, installing new dockageand clearing a public boat rampnext to the property.

“I think the gentleman is well-intentioned in that he wants topreserve some working water-front. He’s a commercial fisher-man and he sees that there is aneed. The issue is you probablywould not even be able to buildhalf of what he wants to,” saysCommissioner Kim Wigington,

whose district includes the StockIsland area.

“The only thing that’s impos-sible is the 30 to 40 units of hous-ing,” Growth ManagementDirector Andrew Trivette said.He said between seven and 10housing units can be built there.

Trivette also said clearingmangroves that have overgrownwhere the adjacent public boatramp was previously used wouldbe a challenge.

“I think we can’t possiblyaccept something like that. He maybe dead serious, but there’s noway,” Commissioner SylviaMurphy said. “Sooner or later we’lldo something with it. Because it’snot costing us anything but the lossof taxes, we can afford to wait.”

The commission voted 3-2 inNovember 2006 to purchase theproperty for $3.12 million. Themain proponent was then-Commissioner Dixie Spehar, whoenvisioned a park that would alsopreserve working waterfront andoffer public access to the water.

Just four months later, thecounty put the property up for

sale and the lone bidder was adja-cent property owner King’sPointe Marina. But last August,King’s Pointe cancelled its con-tract to purchase the property.

Mayor George Neugent wasextremely critical of the purchaseat the time and says his feelingshaven’t changed.

“That’s going to be a littlealbatross that’s going to be wornaround our neck for awhile. It’llbe years before that ever regainsits value, if it ever does,” he said.

In fact, the Hickory Housepurchase and the county’s inabil-ity to do anything with it led inlarge part to the defeat of not onlySpehar in last year’s GOP pri-mary, but also to the loss of then-Commissioner Sonny McCoy,who supported the purchase.

A sportfishing organizationsued in federal court Friday,seeking to block a four-monthclosed season on grouper.

“We think we’ve got a goodcase,” said Dave Heil, counselfor the Fishing Rights Alliance.

The 17-page suit, filed inJacksonville, challenges aJanuary-to-April closed seasonfor harvesting most species ofshallow-water grouper in federalwater. The closure was approvedearlier this year by the NationalMarine Fisheries Service and theSouth Atlantic Federal FisheryManagement Council.

Heil said he expects the gov-ernment to respond in 30 to 45days.

“I am fully supportive of thiseffort, and I will do what I can to

assist them in terms of time ormoney,” said Andy Griffiths, aKey West charter captain whospearheaded local efforts to pre-vent the closed season duringthe Keys’ peak months fortourism.

Citing the need to protectoverfished gag grouper and thespawning season of locally pop-ular black and red grouper, thefederal agencies approved theclosure this spring.

Portions of the new rule, suchas a reduction in the recreationalbag limit from five grouper perday to three, already are ineffect.

The closed season wouldbegin Jan. 1 unless blocked oroverturned. “That’s what we’retrying to do,” Heil said.

The lawsuit contends theMarine Fisheries Service “hasacted arbitrarily and capricious-ly in continuing to implementregulations based upon what hasbeen proven to be incompleteand incorrect data. These regula-tions will force businesses to

close ... and cripple communi-ties.”

Specifically, the suit targetsthe federal government’s esti-mates of sportfishing grouperharvests that is based on theMarine Recreational FishingStatistical Survey, a system ofrandom phone calls to licensedfishermen and dockside surveys.

“The bureaucracy is out toput fishermen out of business,”Griffiths said. “They no longerconsider the economic conse-quences of their actions.”

Federal regulators said exist-ing laws requires sharp reduc-tions in harvests when availableresearch shows a species to beoverfished to the point where thepopulation cannot be sustained.

A similar pending closure onred snapper has been challengedby U.S. Rep. John Mica ofWinter Park, who filed legisla-tion seeking to prevent the six-month harvest ban from takingeffect.

Officials of the PewEnvironment Group’s Campaignto End Overfishing in theSoutheast called Mica’s legisla-tion “counter-productive.”

“We should not wait for morestudies while the red snapperpopulation continues to plum-met,” said Pew project directorHolly Binns. “It is time for deci-sive action to ensure the healthof our fish and our valuableocean ecosystem.”

Anglers challenge banFISHING


Kenneth Farah is in foreclo-sure. So what’s special aboutthat?

Well, Farah is fighting it, asfew do. In a counterclaim to aforeclosure brought again him,he alleges that Orion Bank fal-sified documents to make itsledgers look better.

Earlier this week Key Westattorney Jiulio Margalli arguedhis client’s case at the FreemanJustice Center in Key West infront of visiting Judge SandraTaylor, who retired last yearfrom full-time Monroe Countyduties.

Margalli wouldn’t discussspecifics of the case because“the court has it in their hands.”But he did say it’s unique in thatforeclosures don’t generally goto trial and defendants rarelybring counterclaims.

“I haven’t heard of any thathave actually gone to trial andbeen litigated to the point thatthis one has,” he said. “Ihaven’t heard of any in MonroeCounty recently that have goneto trial.”

In 2006, Farah got a $1 mil-lion loan from Orion Bank todevelop property at 36Evergreen Ave. In 2007, Farahexecuted a mortgage with Orionto act as collateral on the loan.

Orion Bank attorney PaulFriedman, based in Miami,wants the court to order Farahto repay Orion the $1 million,plus the statutory maximumrate of allowable interest thathas accrued since December2007, when he alleges Farahwent into default.

Margalli claims that Farahthought he was getting a con-struction/investment loan. Butin his court argument, Margalliclaims that Orion officials,through falsifying loan docu-ments, got Farah to sign for aresidential/owner occupiedloan.

“The purpose and design ofOrion Bank’s actions were to

accomplish two goals,”Margalli wrote in the counter-claim. “The first goal was forOrion Bank to close out a‘risky’ note and mortgage‘investment loan’ held by twofavored pre-existing cus-tomers....”

The second goal in unload-ing the loan onto Farah was “tocreate the false appearance thatOrion Bank somehow trans-formed the previous risky‘investment loan’ into a resi-dential loan,” Margalli arguedin court.

Farah is seeking damages inexcess of $15,000 on numerouscounterclaims against OrionBank and third-party defen-dants. Closing arguments tookplace on Wednesday and a deci-sion is expected sometime inAugust.

Orion Bank, founded inMarathon and now based inNaples, received a “zero” ratingin April from BauerFinancial,an independent banking analy-sis company. Orion officialsthen rebuffed the critique oftheir financial health.

Local Orion officialsdeclined comment on the litiga-tion.

Key Wester claimsOrion createdfalse documents

IN THE COURTS


The Marathon City Councilbegan scrutinizing next fiscalyear’s budget in earnest Thursdaynight, reviewing the city’s gener-al fund operating budget.

The proposed general fund fornext fiscal year totals $14.87 mil-lion, including a $5.7 millionfund balance that could operatecity government for six months in

case of emergency.The current budget is $15.11

million, including $5.81 in fundbalances.

The council pointed out sever-al areas in which it expects staffto explore cuts in the generalfund, most notably in the city’shealth and dental insurance plans.

City Manager Clyde Burnettsaid employee health insurancecosts will rise next year by 11percent, while dental will rise 20percent. Health and dental bene-fits account for 20 percent of cityemployees’ total salaries.

“We ought to dig into this a lit-tle bit and see if there’s anyoptions,” Mayor Mike Cinque said.

Plans discussed includeincreasing employee deductibles.Presently 100 percent of theircosts are covered.

Burnett discussed a possibleplan by which the city wouldbudget a set amount of money topay for all employees’ health anddental deductibles. Chances are,he told the council, the fullamount wouldn’t be used and thecity would save money on insur-ance premiums.

Burnett told the Keynoter it’stoo early to estimate what costsavings could come from increas-ing deductibles.

Last Monday, the counciladopted a starting millage rate for2009-10 of 1.80, 4.75 percentbelow the rollback rate of 1.88.

Rollback is the rate required tocollect the same amount of prop-erty taxes next year as this year.Marathon’s current millage is 1.5,which equals $1.50 per $1,000 ofassessed property value.

At the proposed rate, theowner of a $300,000 home inMarathon would pay $540 inproperty taxes. The same ownerpaid $450 in the current year,though decreasing property val-ues this year will mean fewertaxes collected from houses withlower values.

Council members are adamantthe 1.8 millage is a starting pointand that it expects a trimmerbudget.

Another area singled outbesides insurance is $47,180 bud-geted for vehicle replacement,which excludes large fire depart-ment vehicles.

The former Lucky’s Landingtrailer park on Little Torch Keywas sold at auction last Sundayfor $2.75 million. The buyer wasDavid Lively, a Summerland Keyresident, who said he’s not sureyet what he’s going to do with theproperty, but thought the pricewas right. His winning bid wasfor $2.5 million; a 10 percentbuyer’s premium was tacked on.

The property, on BarryAvenue in between U.S. 1 andParmer’s Resort, includes 3.5acres, a luxury home and 415 feetof bay front. It also includes 48building permit allocations.

The property was auctionedoff by order of a judge of the U.S.Bankruptcy Court for theSouthern District of Florida. Theowner, Jack Warner, had filed forbankruptcy in December afterplans to redevelop the formertrailer park and build town homeson the property fell through. InDecember of 2006, he’d servedresidents of the trailer park witheviction notices, and the follow-ing June, got permission torezone the property as mixedcommercial and residential.

The bankruptcy judge orderedthe sale as part of the liquidation

of Warner’s assets to satisfy anumber of creditors, includingMonroe County, for unpaid prop-erty taxes, and also CentennialBank. Also auctioned off on July18 and 19 were personal water-craft, power tools, exerciseequipment, and some fine art andjewelry that was brought in byAuction Company of America.

The property brought in lessthan might have been expected. Ithad recently been listed by KeyesReal Estate for $5.8 million, andan appraisal done a few yearsback reportedly showed anappraised value of close to $10million. The property is currentlyassessed at $3.1 million.

“I saw a shark!” said SyedaShaezel Sohail, wide-eyed afteran Ocean for Life snorkel trip toWhite Bank off Key Largo.

“It was as big as me,” saidSohail, a student from Islamabad,Pakistan.

“I don’t think it was that big,”said Astrid Skjaerpe, from Norway.

“Well, things are magnifiedunderwater,” Sohail agreed.

Aboard the excursion boat onWednesday, Connor Stefanison ofBurnaby, British Columbia, playedback underwater video he shot ofthe fair-sized nurse shark, using asmall digital camera provided bythe National Geographic Society.

“I followed it until I ran out ofbreath,” he said.

Ocean for Life, a youth initia-tive launched by the NationalMarine Sanctuaries Program inconjunction with numerous inter-national groups, came to theFlorida Keys this week for its firstfield trip to let 28 students studythe many types of marine ecosys-tems, from the mangrove islandsof Florida Bay to the coral reef.

The group was about evenlysplit between U.S. high-schoolstudents and age-group counter-parts from Pakistan, Morocco,Lebanon, Europe and Australia.

“The first time I jumped in thewater and looked down, itfreaked me out,” said AmmarAbbasi of Pakistan.

After his fourth snorkeling tripin local waters, the 18-year-oldsmiled, “I’m more comfortableand getting along.”

“Trying to heal the ocean isgoing to require cooperation fromcountries all over the earth,” saidJonathan Shannon, a NationalOceanic and AtmosphericAdministration educational spe-cialist closely involved with thepilot Ocean for Life program.

The varied marine ecosystemsof the Keys provide a perfectbackground to illustrate the Oceanfor Life theme, “Enhancing cul-tural understanding through oceanscience,” Shannon said.

“They’re all different but theyall work together,” he said.

That applies to the students aswell, who take photographs and

videos that will become mediapresentations for their homeschools and communities “to pro-mote ocean conservation and cul-tural understanding.”

Instructors from the NationalGeographic Society’s Photocampprogram and students fromAmerican University’s Center forEnvironmental Filmmaking lendtheir expertise.

In the Keys, students werebased at the Marine ResourcesDevelopment Foundation of KeyLargo, with assistance from MaryTagliareni and other staff fromthe Florida Keys National MarineSanctuary.

In addition to trips on thewater, the students visited theDolphin Research Center, theTurtle Hospital, state Fish andWildlife Research Institute, theNOAA National Weather Serviceoffice in Key West and the FloridaKeys Eco-Discovery Center.

After wrapping up their 10-dayKeys visit today, the students flyto Washington, D.C., to meet withan incoming Ocean for Life groupen route for a similar visit tomarine sanctuaries in California.

Program staff sifted through232 applications from U.S.,Canada and Europe to fill half thespots, while international groupslike the GLOBE Program andScubaNauts took the lead in

recruiting English-speaking stu-dents from the Middle East forOceans for Life. Numerous otherbusinesses, agencies and organi-zations made contributions.

The students, ages 14 to 18, gotto know each other on a specialInternet social network for severalweeks before actually meeting.

“When they got off the planesin Washington, they were greet-ing each other like family,”Shannon said.

Zofia Knorek of Battle Creek,Mich., learned of the program

through her advanced biologyclass. “Its everything I expectedand more,” she grinned. “I’m lov-ing it.”

“Very cool,” echoed Skjaepre.Connor Stefanison planned to

pursue wildlife science studies atcollege and decided “to learnmore about ocean biology,” hesaid. “It’s interesting. Now it’spretty much a toss-up.”

“I can’t find the words todescribe all our experiences,”Abbasi said. “I’m working on it.”

For the second time in the all-star game’s seven-year history,the Aflac All-American HighSchool Baseball Classic willhave a Key West High SchoolConch on the field.

Center fielder and pitcherMichael Arencibia, who will be asenior this year, has been namedto the game’s East squad (it’sEast vs. West). He’s one of only40 players nationally to be select-ed to play in the contest, set forAug. 16 at Petco Park, home ofthe San Diego Padres.

Arencibia was named theConchs’ most valuable player lastseason. He sparkled on defenseand was also productive at theplate — he batted .400 with fourhome runs and 31 RBI. He alsohad 12 stolen bases.

The Conchs went 16-13 lastyear, their season ending in a 5-0loss to Archbishop McCarthy in astate regional quarterfinal game.

In 2004, catcher RalphieHenriquez represented Key Westin the Aflac game, also playingfor the East. He was chosenbased on a .412 batting average,30 RBI and four home runs. Healso scored 32 runs and stole 17bases, and threw out nine of 12runners that season.

The Houston Astros draftedHenriquez in 2005 in the secondround (72nd pick overall), buthe’s struggled in the minors. He’snow with the Class A BrooklynCyclones, a New York Mets affil-iate, and hitting just around .200.

Since the Aflac game’s incep-tion in 2003, 65 alumni havebeen selected in the first round ofMajor League Baseball’s draft,including No. 1 overall selectionsMatt Bush (2004, San Diego),Justin Upton (2005, Arizona) andTim Beckham (2008, Tampa).

There were 10 Aflac All-Americans taken in the firstround of the 2009 draft.

Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith,who played with the Padres andCardinals, returns as honorarychairman of the game.

Michael Arencibia is in rare company, joining just 39 otherplayers in the Aflac all-star game in San Diego.

“This is my love,” said GeorgeTwyman — the Key West GolfClub assistant pro and newlynamed golf coach at Key WestHigh School — after giving a pri-vate lesson this week. “To me, it’sno work at all.”

Twyman, who once played forthe Conchs, succeeds NoraLaubenstein, who stepped downafter three seasons. Thirty yearsold, short in stature but long onenthusiasm, Tywman has afriendly demeanor, wears a beardand scans the picturesque fair-ways from beneath thick eye-brows.

Although without coachingexperience, he knows well theplayers who will comprise hisfirst team later this summer. And

they know one thing for sureabout him: He is good at golf.

Since the Stock Island club’srecent restoration, no one hasposted better rounds thanTwyman on a course consideredamong the toughest in the coun-try — a 63 from the white teesand a 66 from the blue tees.

A Key West native, Twymanwas first taught golf by his stepfa-ther, John Lockwood (whose sonJack likely will Twyman’s No. 1player), and then by former KeyWest resident Janice Phelps in thegolf club’s long-standing juniorprogram.

After graduating from KeyWest High in 1997, Twymanwent to Brevard CommunityCollege on a golf scholarship andthen played at Barry University,

where he earned a degree in edu-cation. He taught physical educa-tion at Sigsbee ElementarySchool for two years.

As coach, he will emphasizechipping and putting and ask thathis players concentrate on theirshots, not on the course’s treesand animals as he once did.

“I want them to give me 110percent,” he said. “If we lose, welose. But if we give 110 percent,we’ll win most of the time.”

As a teacher, with Matt Harris,in the golf club’s junior program,Twyman is “coaching” about 80youngsters this summer. “This ismy community, and helping chil-dren who want to play golfshouldn’t be an option,” he said.

Twyman — who lives with hiswife Nicole and two sons, Rocco,4, and Geo (born last month) —looked out at the groomed, green

course and thought about the kidshe used to play with and the kidswho soon will play for him.

“Golf paid for my education,”the new coach said. “It helped mehave respect, honesty, persever-ance — and concentration.”

A new radio culture has bro-ken out in Key West this sum-mer, one that’s woven itselfright into new media, andseems headed outward in everydirection imaginable.

In the last two months,KONK AM began broadcastingan all-day local talk show for-mat (first at 1630, then at 1680on the dial) with hosts prolifer-

ating and Key West characterswandering in to be interviewed.Then came the launch of theCowboy Bill’s Honky TonkSaloon Internet-only radio sta-tion. And on its heels lastSaturday we saw the launch ofsomething called theSouthernmost Radio Network.

David Bethune describes theSouthernmost Radio Networkas a little like a local, Key Westversion of National PublicRadio - a non-profit corpora-tion whose mission is to createquality radio programming.And the way in which hedescribes it makes it sound

something like cable access tel-evision.

Bethune, the owner of a KeyWest-based software companycalled Trellis Corp., has invest-ed his own money in equip-ment that he’ll lend to anyonein Key West who wants tomake a radio show. And he’llteach them how to do it. Allradio shows, and some video,too, will be posted to the radionetwork’s web site,

SouthernmostRadio.org, andradio programming may also besupplied to local radio stations.

Bethune and friends aremoving forward with lightningspeed. On Saturday, Bethuneran around the island with hisnew equipment, stopping peo-ple on the street and enlistingtheir help in making a promo-tional radio spot. That night, hedid an experimental broadcastfrom a stripper party at the

Fairvilla Megastore, and onSunday afternoon, theSouthernmost Radio Networkofficially launched at theCoffee Plantation on CarolineStreet in Key West with thefirst in a series of computerclasses called Coffee College.About six people sat in front ofcomputers as students in theclass, learning how to make
