Hernstadt headsto Marco Island

MARATHON

Roger Hernstadt is outafter four years as the city ofMarathon’s top administrator.

Hernstadt, who came tothe Keys following a career inMiami and Miami-DadeCounty government, onMonday was hired as citymanager, in rather strangefashion, by the Marco IslandCity Council and is scheduledto take over that post Feb. 3.

Hernstadt initially lost

out to fellow finalist CalvinPeck of Bald Head Island,N.C., on a 4-3 vote, butMarco Island’s city charterrequires a supermajorityvote (5-2 or better) to hire amanager, so another votewas held.

The vote remained thesame the second timearound, but after the secondvote, Chairman KennethHonecker reversed course

and changed his vote toHernstadt, making it 4-3 forthe Marathon manager. Thecouncil then took a recess,during which Peck apparent-ly withdrew his name fromthe running.

The board quickly held athird vote to approveHernstadt, and it was unani-mous, 7-0.

The Marco Island coun-cil, as a full board, inter-

viewed Hernstadt and PeckMonday night followingindividual interviews of bothearlier in the day.

Those in favor of Peckcited his “loyalty” to hisemployers and reputation asa more “forceful leader” thanHernstadt. They also laudedhis military background.

Hernstadt supporters citedhis vast experience, especial-ly in Florida, and business-like approach to managing.

Housingcomplex goessmoke-free

Part-time security guardDale Parsons has smoked formore than 50 years, but forthe new year she decided tokick the habit for good. Inaddition to her health, she hasanother big reason to suc-ceed: Her affordable-housingapartment complex just wentcold turkey.

On Jan. 1, Flagler Village,a 49-unit rental community ofmostly duplexes on StockIsland, banned smoking on thegrounds and inside all units.

It’s part of a growingtrend of residential multi-unitbuildings and developments,both privately and govern-ment-owned, to implementno-smoking policies.

With no-smoking lawscovering many public areas— including airplanes,hotels, restaurants, bars,parks, schools, hospitals andpublic buildings — tobacco-prevention specialists seeplaces where people live as

new territory to conquer.“In 2000, it was unheard

of,” said MatthewCompetiello, program man-ager for the American LungAssociation. “But over thepast five or six years, therehas been a lot of demand forsmoke-free housing.”

Valencia Morris, thetobacco-prevention specialistfor the Florida Department ofHealth in Miami-DadeCounty, said complex-widesmoking bans are starting tobecome an “amenity.”

“A lot of people are want-ing this, just like having a gymon the premises,” she said.

But with an adult smok-ing population in Florida of17.1 percent, according to astate survey conducted in2010, extending smokingbans into residences hasbeen met with opposition.

“We have ruffled somefeathers,” said MitzyCordova, manager of FlaglerVillage, which had smokersin 18 of the 49 units when itsban took effect.

“While most residentssay, ‘Wow, Mitzy, this isgreat’ — one has a newbornand lives next to a smoker

First-time homeowners get a boost

It’s no secret that buyinga house in the Keys can be adaunting prospect for work-ing-class citizens.

No one knows that betterthan Monroe CountySheriff’s Office DeputyWillie Guerra, who was look-

ing to buy a Middle Keyshouse for himself and foursons for some time.

Sheriff’s Office deputiesdo yeoman’s work but likemost law enforcement offi-cers, their pay isn’t execu-tive level. That meansMarathon properties inGuerra’s price range werelimited at best.

“Most of them are RVsor single-wide trailers,”Guerra said.

That wasn’t going towork, so Guerra turned to apair of valuable assets for

city residents: He signed upfor and was awarded aHabitat for Humanity of theMiddle Keys home.

In addition, Guerra wasone of five recipients inDecember of a $10,000 no-interest loan from the city ofMarathon. The loan wasthrough a reboot of the city’s2010 first-time homebuyerassistance program.

Proposed by Council -woman Ginger Snead inJanuary 2010, the city creat-ed the program and distrib-uted nine income-restricted

$10,000 loans.That meant the city had

leftover money — $78,000,according to city documents— to reopen the program. Itincluded remaining fundsfrom the initial $100,000 set-aside and fees paid to trans-fer building rights in the city.

“With the help of Habitatand the $10,000 the citygave, it makes it reasonablefor anybody in our range tobe able to afford a decenthouse,” Guerra said.

and does not want her babyto breathe secondhandsmoke — I have at least twothat say they won’t quitsmoking in their homes nomatter what,” Cordova said.

Among those opposedto Flagler Village’s ban isWayne Sepanik, who haslived there since it openedtwo years ago. And thesemi-retired 63-year-old isa non-smoker.

“I think it’s against theircivil rights,” he said.“People moved here on thepremise to have affordablehousing and live a happylife, and all of a sudden thereis no smoking. It’s an addic-tion and a sickness, and a lotof people here can’t affordto go anyplace else.”

But Cordova says thelaw is on the side of proper-ty owners. “We’re nottelling anybody they cannotsmoke,” she said. “We’retelling them they cannotsmoke on the property.”

In the Keys, tourists havediscovered that finding ahotel, guesthouse or vaca-tion rental that allows smok-ing inside is almost impossi-ble these days. In a 2010post on TripAdvisor.com,a woman from Virginiawrote: “Looking desperatelyfor a nice, quality resorthotel in Key West that stillallows smoking withoutbeing fined or condemned tothe loading dock.”

Still a rarityBut the opposite has

been true when trying tofind a nonsmoking residen-tial rental community alongthe island chain. DonnaStayton, a health educationprogram consultant withTobacco Free Florida Keys,said she knows of onlyabout 12 multi-unit devel-opments in the Keys thatban smoking, and mosthave done so recently.

Tobacco Free FloridaKeys has helped three ofthe developments: FlaglerVillage and Banyan Grove,both on Stock Island andowned by the Wendover

Group, and the 2-year-oldPoinciana Royale in KeyWest, which opened assmoke-free.

Jonathan Wolf, founderand president of AltamonteSprings-based WendoverHousing Partners, said hehad wanted for a while toban smoking at his 30 afford-able developments, most ofwhich are in Florida.

“The single most thingwe can do to help our resi-dents with their own healthand their own finances is tohave them stop smoking,”said Wolf, a nonsmoker.“But whenever you put in asocial change as large asthis, you get an element ofpushback from the residentsand from the people whomanage the properties.”

Wolf said the support ofproperty manager Cordovaand Tobacco Free FloridaKeys, as well as the near-Key West location, wherethere is a huge shortage ofaffordable housing, madeFlagler Village and BanyanGrove perfect communitiesto start. Wolf expects them tobe models he can use to rollout similar bans later in theyear at his other properties.

“There was a lot of hulla-baloo when they said therecould be no more smokingin restaurants and bars — alot of ‘Oh, my goodness, itwould be the death of theindustry,’ ” Wolf said. “Butit all came and went.”

Now, housing hasbecome the target of manytobacco-prevention pro-grams. But because peoplehave to live somewhere, it

is likely to remain an areathat has to be tackled witheducation rather than laws.

“I don’t see any legisla-tion at state levels like thereare for restaurants and bars,”said Janisse Schoepp, seniorprogram officer for the non-profit Health Foundation ofSouth Florida.

Property managers andlandlords can save moneyon insurance, maintenanceand the costs of turning overa unit from one tenant to thenext. Smoking units oftenrequire thousands of dollarsmore to repair or clean dueto nicotine stains, cigaretteburns and the odor.

“We always have toreplace the carpet andrepaint after a place has beenleft by a smoker,” Cordovasaid. “Sometimes the smellis so bad we have to tear outthe drywall. We can some-times turn over a nonsmok-er’s apartment in eighthours, but it takes a week ortwo for a smoker’s.”

And it’s a good bet someof the higher costs to cleanand repair a smoker’s apart-ment are passed along to allresidents.

Monroe County’s adultsmoking rates are highest inSouth Florida — at 21.1 per-cent, compared to 13.7 per-cent for Broward County,10.6 percent for Miami-Dade County and 9 percentfor Palm Beach County, thelowest in the state.

Flagler Village has givenexisting smoking residents aone-year grace period dur-ing which they can continueto light up on their porches.

County has received a $56,000 grant from theHealth Foundation of South Florida to promotesmoke-free living policies across the Florida Keys.

The Health Foundation of South Florida is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving thehealth of Monroe, Broward and Miami-Dade resi-dents by providing funding to promote health andprevent disease.

Hernstadt took what somemight consider a potshot atMarathon by calling it a“transient community andyou’re either one of us oryou’re not.” He was oftencriticized during his tenureas a hardball negotiator witha big-city mentality.

Hernstadt told the Marcocouncil, when asked aboutcomments he made in a 2010newspaper article saying hewas “ending my career in theKeys,” that circumstanceshave changed.

He said he and his wifeJessica had long sought tolive on Marco Island largelyso their son, a Marathon HighSchool student who is soon toenter college, would have aneasier commute visiting themon long weekends. Marco ison Florida’s west coast andcloser to Florida collegesthan the Keys.

In addition, JessicaHernstadt is an attorney andher husband said she found itdifficult to have a practice inMarathon because of thenumber of established attor-neys in the Middle Keys.

Hernstadt also fielded aquestion from the councilabout Keys media reportsthat he might have pursuedthe Marco Island job asleverage for a contract exten-sion and/or pay raise fromthe Marathon City Council.His Marathon contractexpires in June 2015.

“When you complete youdeliberations and if I’m for-tunate enough to have anoffer extended, I look for-ward to, under that scenario,being your city manager at

any possible date,” he said.Pressed further, Hernstadt

claimed he has not beenusing the Marco Islandrecruitment as a negotiatingtool against Marathon.

The Marathon council hashad “opportunities every twoweeks to extend or increasemy contract if they desire to dothat. This recruitment has beengoing on for several monthsand it’s been in the papers forover a month,” he said.

“To date, I can tell youthey haven’t done that and ifyou check the most recentversion of the local paper inMarathon, they’ve indicatedthey don’t have an immedi-ate intention of doing that.Clearly, if I was trying toleverage, which I am not, it’snot having an effect any-way,” he added.

Marathon Mayor DickRamsay and councilmen MarkSenmartin and Chris Bull haveindicated they’re not willing torevisit Hernstadt’s contract atthis time.

As soon as he was hired,Hernstadt and the Marco coun-cil engaged in a public negoti-ation, eventually settling onthe Feb. 3 start date and$155,000 annual salary. With acar allowance and various ben-efits, the package amounts tomore than $200,000.

Hernstadt was earning$145,000 in annual salary,plus benefits, in Marathon.That also amounted to morethan $200,000 overall.

The Marathon council wasscheduled to meet in regularsession Tuesday. TheHernstadt situation was not onthe agenda, but Bull saidgiven the circumstances, itlikely would have been added.

“It’s not an investmentproperty. That money youhave to give back if yousell” the house, he added.“They’re giving you a loanwithout interest.”

They are distributed basedon “maximum income” mark-ers for families. They are:

George Garrett told the CityCouncil last month that moreapplications had come in wellafter a July 31 deadline. The

council’s response was toextend the program throughJan. 31 and potentially awardat least three more loans.

“We have a little bit ofadditional money and Ireceived between July andnow $10,000 back fromsomebody who sold theirhouse,” Garrett said.

Should Guerra live in hisnew home for more than 30years, the loan would be for-given. He’s lived there aboutfive months and says that 30years is likely.

“This came around [and]now they’re stuck with me,”Guerra said.

Ramsay added that he did-n’t care for some of the com-ments Hernstadt made to theMarco Town Council aboutMarathon being a “transientcommunity and you’re eitherone of us or you’re not.”

“I was surprised that hemade some uncalled com-ments about how Marathontreated him, but that’s in thepast and I don’t even want togo there,” the mayor said.

Councilman Chris Bullsaid he didn’t expectHernstadt to hammer out acontract with Marco so quick-ly. The Marco Island TownCouncil hired HernstadtMonday and he agreed to a

contract around an hour later.Councilwoman Ginger

Snead is a big supporter ofHernstadt and said shewould again support hiring a“professional manager.”

“I don’t know of anyonelocally that’s qualified as acity manager, so I wouldwant the search to go out justlike we did before,” she said.

Snead added that she hasa plan in mind for movingforward, but declined toelaborate.

“One person can’t makethat decision, so what I plan todo I’m not going to play out inthe paper. I think that’s one ofthe biggest problems we haveas a council,” she said.

Councilman Mark Sen -martin agreed with Sneadthat the city should not settlefor a local candidate if noneare qualified.

The administrator saidremaining details are “noth-ing major,” and he expects the$5 million purchase to final-ize within days. The seller isLargo Sun Vista AcquisitionCo. of Deerfield Beach.

The county sought to havethe eight-acre waterfront sitein public ownership byTuesday, in time for a Jan. 14deadline set by the MonroeCounty Tourist Development

Purchase of the waterfrontsite at mile marker 104.5 hasbeen authorized with countycapital-improvement money.If approved, the TDC fund-ing would go toward plan-ning and construction ofimprovements.

Current plans call formost of the Rowell’s proper-ty to remain vacant as a sitefor festivals and benefitevents. Facilities couldinclude a public beach alongFlorida Bay, a picnic area,parking and restrooms.

$3.4M in bike lanes planned

A $3.4 million project tobuild nearly 12 miles ofbicycle lanes from KeyLargo to Ocean Reef inNorth Key Largo goes to theMonroe County Com mis -sion on Thursday.

Commissioners holdtheir regular January meet-ing at the HarveyGovernment Center onTruman Avenue in KeyWest, a day later than usual.

If approved, ConstructGroup Corp. of HialeahGardens would be author-

ized to build 11.5 miles ofbicycle lanes along CountyRoad 905 at a cost of$3,378,360.

County Road 905, fromnear mile marker 106.5north through lands protect-ed for conservation andwildlife, have becomeincreasingly popular as abicycling route from Miami-Dade County.

The annual Bike MS:Breakaway to Key Largobenefit ride on March 1 alonewill bring about 1,500 bicy-clists down to Key Largo.

Monroe County’s shareof gas-tax revenue will payfor $2.5 million of the proj-ect. Money from the coun-ty’s infrastructure sales taxwill provide $866,026.

The bike-lane projectoriginally was bid last June.Clarifications of the contract

delayed approval. If author-ized Thursday, the contrac-tors have about 10 months tocomplete construction.

The County Commis sion’smeeting, beginning at 9 a.m.,was moved back a day socommissioners and staff canattend today’s Seven 50Summit in Broward County.

That effort joins sevenSouth Florida counties tocreate “a blueprint forgrowing a more prosperous,more desirable SoutheastFlorida during the next 50years and beyond.”

Commissioners DavidRice and Sylvia Murphy willbe out of the county for theThursday meeting, leavingcommissioners HeatherCarruthers, George Neugentand Danny Kolhage to han-dle the session. As a result,the agenda for the meeting

was intentionally limited.Commissioners will hear:� A presentation on the

� Renewal of the contractwith South Shore AviationAssociates to manage thefixed-base operation for pri-vate aircraft at Florida KeysMarathon Airport.

Student’s threats scare parents

A Key Largo School stu-dent with apparent emotion-al and behavioral problemsreportedly threatened toshoot and stab his class-mates and teachers duringan outburst last Wednesday.

The third-grader was sus-pended from school for twodays but is back this week,which has many parentsangered at school adminis-trators and concerned abouttheir children’s safety. Astrong showing of KeyLargo School parents wasexpected at Tuesday’sSchool Board meeting atMarathon High School.

Parents are angry withthe school’s administrationfor not expelling the student,who, according to several

parents, has a history ofmaking threats and display-ing bizarre and violentbehavior going back morethan a year.

“This matter at hand, it’sbuilding,” said PedroReinoso. “It’s not a mush-room that grew over night.He is a child that needs help,and he’s just not getting it.”

These parents are alsoupset that they were not con-tacted about the incident byadministrators.

“They call us when theywant a donation, but notwhen a kid threatens toshoot our kids in the face,”said parent Rob Bulkiewicz.

Key Largo SchoolPrincipal Julia Hoar referredall questions to Super -intendent Mark Porter, whodid not return a phone callfor this story.

Regarding expulsion,however, it appears theschool may not have anychoice but to deal with suchproblem students, no matterhow severe their behavior.

School Board member JohnDick says state law pro-hibits schools from kickingstudents out for more than10 days.

“The state says that we have to provide an edu-cation,” Dick said. “Un -fortunately, we don’t havethe facilities in the district tohandle a situation like that.”

According to an inci-dent report from theMonroe County Sheriff’sOffice, the third-grader,who was not identifiedbecause of his age, pickedup a pencil and pretendedto stab a classmate and ateacher. He also told hisclassmates he was going“to shoot them all in thehead,” according to thereport.

During the outburst, thestudent also described tohis classmates how he wasgoing to attack them with achainsaw.

Several parents were soangry that they have pulledtheir children from school.

Parent Jackie Bello is oneof them, opting to let hertwo students work fromhome Monday.

“I don’t want them tofall behind, but my kids arenot in school,” Bello said.“I’m not willing to put themat risk.”

Bulkiewicz said theschool’s handling of theJan. 8 situation contradictsits zero-tolerance policywhen it comes to otherviolent behavior, such asbullying.

“They have a zero-toler-ance policy for bullying,but it’s OK to threaten toshoot other students,”Bulkiewicz said. “That’sbullying to me.”

Bulkiewicz said adminis-trators told him that thechild was evaluated by acounselor before he was letback in school.

“They told me every-thing is fine, ‘he’s in a goodmood,’ “ he said. “Well, TedBundy was in a good mood,too, sometimes.”

Cop transferred asdeath probe continues

As the Florida Depart -ment of Law Enforcementcontinues to investigate thecircumstances surroundingthe death of a man in KeyWest police custody, a detec-tive formerly working thecase has been reprimandedand reassigned due to “lais-sez-faire police work.”

Charles Eimers, 61, ofBirch Run, Mich., died atLower Keys Medical Centerafter being taken off life sup-port on Dec. 4.

Police pulled him over onNorth Roosevelt Boulevardon Nov. 28. Police said hepulled away from the trafficstop, drove through OldTown, then stopped his P.T.Cruiser on the sand at SouthBeach at the Atlantic end ofDuval Street.

As police were handcuff-ing Eimers (he was on hisstomach in the sand), he“began turning blue,” accord-ing to Officer ThaddeusCalvart’s account.

FLDE spokeswoman GretlPlessinger said her agency isconducting an “active investi-gation” into use of force bythe police.

While Eimers was in thehospital, Officer Todd Stevensreportedly was told to contactEimers’ son Treavor to notifyhim of his father’s imminentdeath. He didn’t do that, Capt.Scott Smith wrote in a Dec. 12letter of reprimand.

“You were advised thatEimers would expire in thenear future and that he wouldnot ever leave the hospital.You were to contact next ofkin,” Smith wrote to Stevens.

On Dec. 1, three daysbefore Eimers died, Smithchecked with Stevens on thestatus of the case and foundout that Treavor wasn’t called.

“When I asked why, yousaid because [Eimers] hadnot expired yet,” Smithwrote. “I told you this wasunacceptable because weknew he was going to passand we needed to give thefamily a chance to come andsee him. I was very disap-pointed in you as this is avery basic detective task.”

Smith also talked withStevens about the case onDec. 4, 5, 9 and 10, accordingto the reprimand, and eachtime was told “no change.”

Then, in a second conver-sation on Dec. 10, “You metme at the back door” of thepolice station and “you toldme, ‘He is dead.’ I asked youwhen he died and you said youwere not sure but ‘maybe overthe weekend or last week.’ ”

In a later meeting with othersupervisors, Smith recalls thatStevens “continually said youwere sorry but could give us noreasonable reason that you con-tinued to mislead me abouttalking to the son. You onlysaid you were “confused aboutthe days.’ ”

“You were completelydetached from this importantcase and had no empathy foreither Eimers or his family.This type of laissez-fairepolice is an embarrassment tothe Key West PoliceDepartment and will not betolerated,” Smith wrote.

Stevens, 42, was hired inAugust 2002 and he earns$69,412. He was moved tothe detectives unit in April2012 and put back on roadpatrol last month.

His move from detectiveto patrol is a “transfer,”according to departmentspokeswoman Alyson Crean.

Crean said Stevens’ filecontains a written reprimandand three-day suspension for“failure to secure a dutyweapon according to depart-mental policy,” along withseven commendations.

Eimers’ autopsy resultsare pending, according to theMonroe County MedicalExaminer’s Office.

Charter captain:Grouper closure hurts

A four-month winter clo-sure on grouper “has justabout put us out of business,”a renowned Key West sport-fishing captain told fisherymanagers Jan. 8.

“My business has fallenoff more than 60 percent,”Ralph Delph said at a KeyLargo meeting of state andfederal regulators.

The closure on fishing onmost types of shallow-watergrouper runs from Jan. 1through April.

“That’s when the grouperare in Key West,” Delph said.“We can get a few inDecember, then none for fourmonths. When it opens backup again in May, they’rebasically gone.”

Delph, a tournament-win-ning captain for more thanfour decades in Key West,spoke to representatives ofthe federal South Atlanticand Gulf of Mexico fisherymanagement councils duringa three-day meeting on SouthFlorida rules and the future ofGoliath grouper harvests.

Earlier during a Jan. 7 ses-sion, a combined panel of fed-eral council members and staffof the Florida Fish and WildlifeConservation Commissionagreed to take a look at severalregulations, including a possi-ble “review of shallow-watergrouper closure length, months[and] species for both the Gulfand South Atlantic.”

Delph said allowing a baglimit of one Goliath grouperin a slot-limit size for recre-ational fishing “would be atremendous help to us.”

“I was booked a year inadvance for years,” Delphsaid. “In December, I hadfive trips booked and lost two

of them to weather.”“I can’t say [the four-

month closure] hasn’t beengood for the fishery,” Delphsaid. “I can say it hasn’t beengood for me.”

Many divers and conserva-tionists contend the Goliathgrouper fishery should remainclosed because so little isknown about its populationdemographics. A reportedabundance of the massive fishin the Keys and off Florida’ssouthwest coast may not reflectthe overall state of the fishery.

The panel, meeting as theSouth Florida Joint CouncilCommittee on South FloridaManagement Issues, identi-fied several fish species thatfeasibly could be turned overto Florida for rule-making.

The committee wasformed in response to com-plaints that fishing rulesadopted for areas as far asTexas or North Carolina cre-ate problems for commercialfishermen and recreationalanglers in the subtropicalwaters of South Florida.

Various state and federaljurisdictions all cometogether in the Florida Keys,creating confusion overwhich laws apply.

“We’re trying to make itso you don’t need an attorneyon your boat to go fishing,”said John Sanchez, a SouthFlorida resident serving onthe Gulf of Mexico council.

The panel agreed to collectinformation on yellowtailsnapper, mutton snapper, blackgrouper, Nassau grouper, hog-fish and mangrove snapper tosee if management of thosefisheries would be best regulat-ed by Florida managers.

Any decisions reached bythe panel would need approvalfrom the full federal councils.

Several fishermen haverecommended creation of anew federal council specifi-cally for South Florida, butthat proposal would requirecongressional approval. Thatprospect appears unlikely,fishery managers say.

Paint-covered woman jailedA Miami woman who had

theatrical paint all over herface and is accused of van-dalizing a BMW, threateningUpper Keys students with arock and then rambling onabout Disney when talking topolice remained in theMonroe County jail Tuesdayin lieu of $10,500 bond.

Elizabeth Quintana, 43,was charged Friday withgrand theft auto, trespassingon school grounds and disor-derly conduct.

The Monroe CountySheriff’s Office says the

bizarre inci-dent hap-p e n e daround 7:30a.m. Fridayat CoralShores HighSchool.

pal Blake Fry reported toSchool Resource DeputyLarry O’Neill that Quintana,with the white paint on herface, was “hitting her owncar — a white BMW — witha bungee cord and threaten-ing students with a rock,”Deputy Becky Herrin said.

By the time otherdeputies arrived, Quintanaand the car — which turnedout to be stolen from Miami— were gone. But they laterfound the car at the nearbyCoral Isles Church.

Quintana “was out of thecar, dancing in the grass,”Herrin said. “She wasdressed in strange clothingthat was wet and had a whitesubstance on her face whichmight be some kind of the-atrical paint.

Duval named amongbest U.S. main streets

Duval Street in Key West,known as an adult play-ground marked by bars —some of them for adults only— doesn’t conjure anyimages of Mayberry, but thetourist drag has found its wayonto Fodor’s Travel’s list ofits Top 15 main streets in theUnited States.

“Even in this fast-pacedera, many small towns haveheld onto their historic roots

and preserved their centralthoroughfares,” travel writerEmily Wasserman wrote in thereport published this week.

“From a harbor town onthe west coast with ornateVictorian architecture to KeyWest’s colorful Duval Street,visitors can find unique cul-tural attractions and warm,welcoming communities,”she wrote.

In her comments specificto Duval, Wasserman singlesout the “Duval Pub Crawl, atour-de-force of the area’smost popular restaurants andbars. It isn’t unusual to seecostumed patrons singingand dancing in the street, andthe carnival-like atmosphere

continues into the wee hoursof the morning.”

Other main streets earningthe distinction are mainstreets in Richmond, Ind.;Paducah, Ky.; Littleton,N.H.; Denton, Texas; andGalen, Ill.

Union talks likely at impasse

In the run-up to aTuesday meeting of theMonroe County SchoolBoard where a teacher con-tract was to be discussed,teachers union PresidentHolly Hummell-Gormansent her membership a mis-sive accusing the board ofholding teacher raises“hostage.”

Representing the UnitedTeachers of Monroe,Hummell-Gorman hasbeen negotiating a one-year contract for teachersand school-related person-nel since April, first withSuperintendent MarkPorter and then, beginning

in December, with laborattorney Bob Norton.

The primary stickingpoint is language in the con-tract that would allow theSchool Board to unilaterallyinstitute unpaid furloughs.Until that’s worked out and adeal struck, the district can’tdivvy up $1.2 million infunding earmarked forteacher pay raises.

“This is the language theSchool Board invoked inorder to gut your paychecksfor the past two years,”Hummell-Gorman said inthe letter sent Friday toUTM members.

“The only thing thatcould facilitate a potentialagreement at this pointwould be a change in theSchool Board’s position.Barring that, UTM will like-ly need to move to impasseand seek a remedy for itsmembers through properlegal channels.”

Board member JohnDick said the furlough lan-guage has been in teachercontracts “since the 1970s.We used it under extraordi-nary circumstances.”

Using unpaid furloughs,the district cut more than$13 million in spendingfrom between 2010 and2012, with savings of $1.7million per year derivedfrom the mandatory seven-day furloughs.

“We want to keep it,”Dick said of the language,“so we have an option of notfiring people. Without thatlanguage, we would’ve hadto fire teachers. The boardwould rather have it donethis way.”

This round of bargainingis for a one-year contractretroactive to June that cov-ers the district’s 525 teachersand 114 school-related per-sonnel like bus drivers andfood-service workers.

Soldier Ride capturedThe pictures that David Goodhue

and Kevin Wadlow took of the wound-ed warriors during their Soldier Ridethrough the Keys are absolutely extraor-dinary. The caliber of these pictures issuperior to the many attempts that havebeen made to memorialize this event.

Mr. Goodhue and Mr. Wadlow cap-tured the essence of this experience,which constitutes its therapeutic value.Through their lenses, they recorded thewide range of emotions experienced bythese severely injured men and women asthey peddle their way through the Keys.

The talent to portray the energyexchanged between these riders andtheir supporters is a tribute to Mr.Goodhue’s and Mr. Wadlow’s excep-tional photo-journalistic capabilities.

The photos were brilliantly arrangedand published on KeysInfo.com, thewebsite for The Reporter and Keynoter.Through my 44 years of reviewing sim-ilar photo galleries, I’ve not come acrossa more distinguished presentation.

I’m deeply appreciative that thiscommemorative event was recordedthrough the magnificent skills and pro-fessionalism possessed by Mr.Goodhue and Mr. Wadlow.

Recreational fishing is a cornerstoneof American life. It’s more than just away to get dinner on the table.

Families have bonded and formedrelationships over a rod and reel fordecades, cementing the sport’s place inAmerica’s cultural consciousness. Butnow, our collective love of fishing isunder attack — not from overfishing,but over-regulation.

Forty-one federally managed fishstocks are overfished. However, thisnumber has declined consistently overthe last decade and, in fact, the numberof stocks on the overfishing list is at anall-time low.

This progress hasn’t been achievedwithout a cost to anglers and the busi-nesses that depend on access to thenation’s fisheries, as overly strict regu-lations have hampered the economicvalue of fisheries. Sustainability andeconomic efficiency are not mutuallyexclusive concepts, but managers havefocused almost entirely on the biologi-cal aspects of fisheries, with socioeco-nomics remaining an afterthought.

Originally enacted as the FisheryConservation and Management Act of1976, the federal government hasattempted to address these issuesthrough legislation. Over the past fourdecades, there have been two majoramendments — the SustainableFisheries Act of 1996 and theMagnuson-Stevens FisheryConservation and Management Act of2006 (commonly referred to asMagnuson-Stevens).

Magnuson-Stevens addresses manyof the problems associated with com-mercial fishing by establishing regionalfishery management councils chargedwith restoring depleted fish populationsand managing healthy ones. While an

effective way to man-age commercial fish-eries, Magnuson-Stevens does not ade-quately distinguishbetween commercialand sport fishermen. Afather taking his son tofish in the Gulf ofMexico will be put to

the same strict standards that regulatecommercial fishermen.

On top of that, there are majorfinancial implications for small, recre-ational fishing operations. These over-ly strict regulations are essentially put-ting a noose around the neck of localcharter fishing operations, tackle storesand boat sales.

Magnuson-Stevens requires catchlimits to be established for all species— even if there are no data to supportthat a fish population is depleted. Theresult is that recreational anglers arehampered by shortened fishing seasonsand catch limits on fish that appear ingreat abundance — hurting not onlyour hearts but our wallets.

Next year, federal lawmakers arescheduled to re-authorize the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and it is an opportunity toaddress some of these issues.

I propose four changes to theMagnuson-Stevens Act.

� Separate language for recreationalfishing.

There is no need for recreational fish-ermen to be lumped in with commercialfishing operations. Creating separatelanguage to regulate commercial andrecreational fishermen allows lawmak-ers the freedom to put regulations inplace that make sense for everyone.

� Sensible allocation between com-mercial and recreational users.

Formal guidelines must be establishedand regularly revisited that allocate fish-ery resources between recreationalanglers and commercial harvesters byusing data based on modern economic,social and conservation criteria.

� Catch limits based on actual sci-ence, rather than non-existent data.

Currently, catch limits are estab-lished for every fish population undermanagement, even if there is no reasonfor concern about the health of a popu-lation. Science should lead the processof fishery management. A one-size-fits-all strategy is a recipe for disaster.

� Fisheries management transferredto the states where appropriate.

In many cases, federal agencies arenot the best organizations to managefisheries. Where appropriate, states orfishery management commissionsshould take control of managing fishpopulations. That will allow organiza-tions to manage fisheries with a greaterattention to detail and a focus onenriching the lives of those most affect-ed by fish population management.

Now is the time for action. With thesupport of federal lawmakers, in partic-ular the U.S. Senate, we can take backrecreational fishing and ensure that itremains a vital piece of our heritageand a consistent revenue-generatingoperation for local communities.

Recreational fishermen and com-mercial fishing operations should notbe put in the same boat.

Cops: Drunk manshowed loaded gun

A Big Pine Key man wasjailed Tuesday morning forallegedly openly carrying aloaded gun while drunk onthe Lower Keys island.

Jeffrey Charron, 45, ischarged with carrying afirearm openly, improperexhibition of a firearm andresisting an officer with vio-lence. The first two countsare misdemeanors, the thirdone a felony.

Deputy Becky Herrin,spokeswoman for the MonroeCounty Sheriff’s Office, saiddispatchers received “severalcalls reporting a man whoappeared to be intoxicatedwho had a handgun visible inthe waistband of his pants.”

DeputiesScott Wardand LindaK o h o u trespondedto the loca-tion, the AceH a r d w a r estore on BigPine. There,

they found Charron sitting onthe ground in front of thebusiness, with the gun, aloaded .380-caliber Walther,tucked in his pants.

Herrin said Ward orderedhim to put his hands up andkeep them in the air butCharron instead began tolower one hand toward thegun. Kohout walked up tohim and was able to grab hisarm and Ward grabbed theother arm, Herrin said.

As they tried to handcuffCharron, he reportedly strug-gled with them, and a correc-

tions officer who was ridingwith Kohout on patrol was ableto get control of the weapon.

Herrin said “a number ofwitnesses” said Charron washaving trouble standing. At

one point, he reportedly wentinto the hardware store and saton the floor but was asked toleave and went outside, wherethe deputies found him.

Charron remained in theMonroe County DetentionCenter on Stock Island lateTuesday, held without bond.

A month after leading afaculty review of Florida KeysCommunity College PresidentJonathan Gueverra’s job per-formance, Faculty CouncilPresident Dawn Ellis resignedon Friday.

Ellis, who was the direc-tor of the school’s computerscience program, couldn’tbe reached for comment butcollege spokeswomanAmber Ernst-Leonard con-firmed the move withoutproviding details.

The evaluation was distrib-uted and completed inDecember but Gueverra ini-tially refused to release theresults in response to a publicrecords request from theKeynoter. He finally relented

when con-tacted by thenewspaper’sattorney.

T h eevaluationwas donea n o n y -mously by10 of the 26

full-time faculty membersand gave Gueverra generallygood marks. They wereasked a range of questions,asking to strongly agree,agree, are they neutral, dis-agree or strongly disagree.

One of the statements onthe evaluation form: “Ibelieve that this president ishighly effective in perform-ing the responsibilities of thepresident.” One personstrongly agreed, threeagreed, two were neutral,two disagreed and onestrongly disagreed.

Another statement: “Ihave confidence that the col-lege will grow and improveunder this president’s leader-

ship. One faculty memberstrongly agreed, threeagreed, two were neutral,three disagreed and onestrongly disagreed.

Gueverra, hired in 2012under a three-year contractworth $180,000 per year,received high marks fromfaculty for public presenta-tions and fundraising.

His poorest marks cameon his ability to “promoteeffective performance byadministrative units,” withone respondent stronglyagreeing, one agreeing, threeneutral, and five disagreeing.

Asked if he “cooperatesand respects faculty gover-nance,” three faculty mem-bers agreed, three were neu-tral, one disagreed and threestrongly disagreed.

Tuesday, he said, “”Inorder for [me] to say there isvalue to it, it needs to be reli-able, credible. This shouldnot be relied upon as the viewof the entire faculty becauseit’s not.”

Restoration is moving in rightdirection but we can’t allowthe work to wane or wander

South Florida’s economy is intrinsically linked to theregion’s environment.

Our tourist-luring beaches, two national parks —Biscayne and Everglades — divers’ much-loved coralreefs and scenic mainland rivers are economic as well eco-logical assets that we must protect and preserve. They notonly draw visitors by the millions but in some instancesalso provide our drinking water, a commodity that’s get-ting more precious in an increasingly parched world.

Our stewardship of these assets, which are alwaysunder threat from development and various sources ofpollution, is complicated by the reality of rising seascaused by climate change. No state is more vulnerablethan Florida to the rising sea level — and nowhere inFlorida is more vulnerable than the Keys.

Some local governments in South Florida havebegun addressing rising seas through regional efforts toseek practical ways to protect vulnerable coastal com-munities and drinking-water sources. Count MonroeCounty among them.

While the local leadership’s recognition of globalwarming’s threat is encouraging, our optimism is tem-pered by the lack of state leadership on this very seriousissue. Tallahassee needs to join the 21st Century in rec-ognizing global warming for the genuine peril that it isto Florida’s populous coasts.

Inland, advancement of the Comprehensive EvergladesRestoration Plan, a joint state-federal project to restore thevast swamp’s original water flow southward from Orlandoto Florida Bay, remains a top goal in 2014. This ambitious,expensive plan has had its ups and downs over the years.Federal lawsuits by various stakeholders challenging partsof the plan and funding miscues — mostly from the fedscourtesy of a balky Congress — have taken their toll onwhat was originally a 20-year restoration plan.

But recent actions by both state and federal govern-ments bode well for the future.

State and federal officials are firming up a $1.8 bil-lion plan to store and clean more water in the vastEverglades conservation area between I-75 and theTamiami Trail, which will ultimately deliver more cleanwater to thirsty Everglades National Park.

The state also will spend $90 million over three years toraise more of the Tamiami Trail to increase water flowthrough the park and into Florida Bay. One mile hasalready been raised, a success story for long-time advo-cates of elevation to eradicate the barrier the Trail has longbeen to the River of Grass flowing southward unimpeded.

Another potential environmental threat is populationgrowth. Florida will soon surpass New York as thethird-most populous state. More people equals moredevelopment, especially along our coasts. Rather thaneasing growth-development rules, as the Republicanleadership in Tallahassee has been doing in recent years,the state should prepare for more residents with smart-growth plans that discourage sprawl on undevelopedland and direct redevelopment in established areas.

We must grow wisely, without endangering our pre-cious natural resources.

Tax scam time

Florida Attorney GeneralPam Bondi says identitytheft and tax scams go handin hand, and since workersare starting to receive their2013 tax documents fromtheir employers, precautionis needed.

She offered the follow-ing tips to avoid ID theftand tax fraud:

• File tax returns early.The Internal RevenueService will reject a returnif one is already filed withthat Social Security number.

• Ask for credentials ofthe tax preparer, and ask ifhe or she belongs to a stateboard or bar association thatrequires continuing educa-tion.

• Do not provide yourSocial Security numberunless it is required.

• Do not carry yourSocial Security card orwrite the number on checks.

• Shred financial docu-ments and papers beforediscarding them.

• Be wary of providingsensitive information viathe Internet.

• Do not respond to e-mails asking for informa-tion relating to tax refunds.The IRS’ website is thelegitimate source for check-ing on refund status.

• Check your creditreport every 12 months.

Consumers should filecomplaints about tax-relat-ed scams and any othertypes of fraud by calling theAttorney General’s Officefraud hotline at (866) 966-7226, or by filing a com-plaint online atwww.MyFloridaLegal.com.Tax helpers sought

In clash of winless,Conchs prevail

After leading the KeyWest High School boys bas-ketball team to a 75-60 victo-ry over Coral Shores Fridaynight, Conch guard ChaseRenner had no idea howmany points he had scored.

“Twenty?” he said, stand-ing at mid-court in theBobby Menendez Gym.

Not close.Renner scored 37 to give

the Conchs their first victoryof the season after eight con-secutive defeats — and keepthe 0-11 Hurricanes winless.

No Key West player hadscored more points in agame since the 2008-09 sea-son, when Vladimyr Siberiascored 42 and Keith Valdezscored 38.

The game drew a largecrowd and marked CoralShores’ Anthony Rice’sreturn to Key West. Two sea-sons ago, Rice was an inte-gral part of a Conch teamthat went 16-1. But off-the-court trouble kept him fromhoops most of last season,and he ended up transferring.

Rice, who had his owncheering section, had 16points and 10 rebounds, butfouled out in the fourth quar-ter. He declined to talk abouthis return, but was happy forRenner, his friend.

The Conchs, who nevertrailed in the game, had acomfortable lead for most ofthe first half, but 3-pointshots by Shaka Smith andRichard Jacobsen broughtthe Hurricanes to within 35-30 at halftime.

Lady Dolphins look toward district

The Marathon HighSchool girls soccer team fin-ished its regular season onFriday against a team itcould well run into again inthe near future.

The Dolphins played to a1-1 tie on the turf field atMiami Country Day, a teamthat’s likely to advance to thestate championship tourna-ment out of District 15.

“We’re going to see themagain. They’ll either be dis-trict champs or runner-ups,”

Marathon coach CindyDurkin said.

Marathon (10-6-4) tookthe lead in the first 10 min-utes of the game Fridaywhen Savannah Rodamertook a pass from ChandlerElliott, made a nifty move tolose her defender and fired ashot from just outside the18-yard box into the top leftcorner of the net.

Durkin said she washappy to see Marathon con-vert early because goalswere going to be hard tocome by against theSpartans.

“Their goalie is one of thebest we’ve ever comeacross. She’s an eighth-grad-er, but she’s going to be a

Division I recruit,” she said.Marathon held onto the 1-0

lead until the final 10 minutesof the game, despite playingon an unfamiliar turf field.

“The ball was takingsome crazy bounces,” thecoach said. “We let up for abrief 30 seconds and theywere able to slot a ball fromthe right side into the net.Our girls all have turf burnsbecause those fields reallychew up your skin.”

Should the teams meetagain, Durkin said she hopesit would be on the grass fieldat Marathon High.

The Dolphins were sched-uled to open their defense oflast year’s District 16-1Achampionship Tuesday with

an opening-round gameagainst Riviera Prep School,but results were not availableat press time. Marathon Highis hosting the tournament.

The Dolphins defeatedRiviera 13-0 in a mercy-ruledrubbing on Nov. 13, sothey’ll likely advance toThursday’s championshipmatch. It’s scheduled tobegin at 6 p.m.

After a Jacobsen shot cutthe lead to 35-32 at the startof the third quarter, KeyWest’s Luis Acosta scored ontwo drives, the second ofwhich featured a behind-the-back dribble at mid-court.

“The guys told me that asa senior I needed to step up— so I stepped up,” Acostasaid afterward.

Renner hit a 3-pointer and ashort jumper to extend the lead

to 44-32, but the Hurricanesscored 12 of the next 15 pointsto trail by only 47-44 enteringthe fourth quarter.

The fourth began with alayup by the Conchs’ Lanre’Scott. Rice, who is 6-foot-5,tried to answer but had twoshots blocked in a row by, ofall people, the 5-foot-8 Renner.

Coral Shores cut the leadto 49-47 on a 3-pointer byJacobsen (who led his teamwith 19 points), but that wasas close as the Hurricanes got.

The Conchs, led by Scott andRenner, went on a 15-6 runfor an insurmountable 62-53lead. And with three minutesleft, Rice fouled out.

Down the stretch, Rennermade six consecutive freethrows to finish 13 of 15 fromthe line. “It felt so good, itwas like I was in a zone,”Renner said of his night.

Scott scored 13 points forthe Conchs, who also got goodgames from center AnthonyCromwell (nine points) and

guard Nathaniel Hayes. KeyWest shot more than 50 per-cent from the field and com-mitted only 14 turnovers.

“We just keep fighting,”said Coral Shores coachBruce Teachy, who was wellaware of the free-throw dis-parity. The Conchs attempted34 foul shots — 23 morethan the Hurricanes tried.

The Conchs will play atSt. Brendan at 7:30 Saturdaynight. Coral Shores is offuntil Jan. 24.

Conchs hold off Chaminade

It was noon Saturday, andthe Key West High girls soc-cer team’s game with Holly -wood Chaminade-MadonnaCollege Preparatory wasabout to begin.

The Conchs had gotten tobed about 1:30 in the morn-ing after getting home from a2-0 loss the night before atCoral Shores, a defeat thatcame two days after a 6-0loss to Marathon. Bad week.

“We need a win,” saidcoach Scott Paul, who lookedfresher than his players.

Ten minutes into the game,freshman Angela Niles beat adefender to the ball at mid-field, drove down the rightside and scored for a 1-0 lead.It was her 28th goal of theseason and only the Conchs’second in five games.

But five minutes later,Chaminade’s Mary Buddescored on a rebound to tie thegame at 1-1.

“We’re sore and asleep —this team is not a pushover,”Paul observed.

Late in the half,Chaminade had two scoringopportunities, but both shots

were stopped by keeperAngela Martin, and the tieremained at intermission.

Time and again through-out the game, Chaminadekeeper Savannah Santosrushed out of the goal to beata charging Conch to the ball.But midway through the sec-ond half, Santos was facedwith Caila DeAbreu, whowas bearing down on herfrom the right side.

With Chaminade’s MikaSheerin on her back,DeAbreu reached the top of

the goal box and got a shotpast Santos for a goal that putthe Conchs ahead, 2-1.

“I thought to myself that Ihad to be creative,”DeAbreu said later. “I saw[Sheerin], turned, trusted mygut and scored.”

With time running out,Bridget Callahan, Chaminade’sbest player, lined up for a freekick inside the 18-yard box.Five Conch players formed awall in front of her. She kickedthe ball softly over the walland right to Martin, who

caught it easily. Seconds later,the game ended.

“That scared me,” Paulsaid of Callahan’s attempt.“But she was too close to getpower behind the shot.”

It was the last regular-sea-son game for the Conchs, whoimproved to 14-8-1. Theyhosted Miami Jackson onTuesday in a District 16-3Agame that was completed tolate for today’s paper. Theylikely will play in the tourna-ment title game at 5 p.m.Thursday at Tommy Roberts.

The loss was the sixthin a row for the Conchs,who dropped to 4-11 over-all and 3-8 in the district.

Seventeen of the Conchturnovers came in the firsthalf, after which theSabres led, 27-18. KeyWest got to within 33-27late in the third quarterafter a 3-point shot andtwo free throws byTanisha Multy. But St.Brendan, beating theConchs down the court,went on an 8-0 run to endthe period.

“Keep running, they’re

getting tired,” coachMickey Falla told hisplayers. More layups fol-lowed in the fourth as theSabres breezed to a 25-point lead.

Shortly before intermis-sion, Cane forward HalliePaterson took a cross frommidfielder Audrey Butler toscore. “Hallie settled it downand calmly made the shot,”said the coach.

Conchs, Falcons tie

The Key West High boyssoccer team gave up a lategoal to Palmer Trinity and hadto settle for a 2-2 tie Saturdayafternoon at Tommy RobertsMemorial Stadium.

The tie spoiled a strongeffort by the Conchs, who, intheir last regular-season homegame, were trying for a two-victory weekend after defeat-ing Chaminade-Madonna, 5-1, on Friday night.

After Palmer Trinity tooka 1-0 lead on a goal byAlejandro Martinez-Oletta,the Conchs’ Gavin Mock,late in the half, blasted a 30-yard shot into the upper leftportion of the net for his firstcareer goal. The seniorapproached the ball as if hewere still in a football uni-form and kicking a field goal.

“Finally,” he said. “I hadthree opportunities in the lastthree games.”

The game remained atense, hard-hitting 1-1 battlewell into the second half.Key West coach Marc Pierre,a solitary figure in red shortsand a gray T-shirt in the cen-ter of the sun-struck sideline,shouted instructions in

English and Creole.With about 25 minutes

left, the Conchs’ DonteThompson sent a long loop-ing cross toward the net fromthe right side. TeammateAdam Swiecicki jumped andheaded the ball past keeperDaniel du Feu for the go-ahead goal.

The Falcons got their firstshot on goal of the half 10minutes later, but keeperChristian Lee made a nicesave. Soon afterward, though,Lee came out of the net andgot nudged as Alex Salgado

headed in the tying goal.“That goal should not

have counted,” Pierre said.“He got pushed, but not

hard enough to call some-thing,” Mock said.

The tie left the Conchswith a 9-5-4 record. “Weplayed hard,” said Pierre, whoreceived kind words from thePalmer Trinity coaches.

One of them, GraemeGriffith, said of Key West,“They have a great side —lots of speed and discipline.They play hard but clean.”

Dolphins split two at home

The Marathon HighSchool boys basketball teamsplit a pair of home gamesover the weekend, but it was-n’t the win that had coachKevin Freeman excited.

The Dolphins defeatedPalmer Trinity School, 43-32, on Saturday afternoon,but lost a thrilling overtimegame to talented District 16-3A No. 1 seed WestwoodChristian School, 79-71.

“It was probably the bestgame we’ve had here in fouror five years,” Freeman said.

The Dolphins lost toWestwood’s Warriors by fourpoints in Miami on Dec. 13,but Westwood didn’t play itstop four players that game.

“They brought the fullsquad” on Friday, Freemansaid, noting it features at leastfour players that are morethan 6-foot-5.

The game started outstrangely, as Westwood feltthe need to display its athleti-cism during pre-game warm-ups. The Warriors dunkedseveral times — not allowedby the Florida High SchoolAthletic Association — andwere assessed three technicalfouls before the opening tip.

Damian Chavez madefour of six free throws to givethe Dolphins a 4-0 lead, but itdidn’t seem to matter muchto the Warriors. They still led26-11 after the first quarter,holding the Dolphins to justtwo made baskets.

Ironically, Freeman saidan alley-oop pass thatextended the Westwood leadto open the second quarterended up swinging momen-tum in the Dolphins’ favor.

“They were still up andcelebrating and we took itpersonal,” he said. “The nextbreak we had, our kids said, “‘No more,’ and played the

best second quarter I’ve everseen them play.”

Damian Chavez had nine ofhis team-high 20 points in thesecond quarter, while NelsonRojas had eight. Marathonoutscored Westwood 24-12and trailed by just three, 38-35,at the break.

The Dolphins trailed byjust one point, 52-51, afterthree quarters as they contin-ued to hang with the Warriors.

Marathon had a chance towin the game when it set up aplay with 11 seconds remain-ing and the scored tied 64-64.But the shot fell short and aputback attempt by Rojaswas half a second too late.

In the overtime, Westwoodscored three quick baskets andtook a lead from which theDolphins couldn’t recover.

“We made some shots butcouldn’t get back into it. Idon’t know if we were justhappy to be in overtime withthis team, but it didn’t workout,” Freeman said.

Nelson had 17 points and

five rebounds, while CooperChaplin added 17 points, eightrebounds and two steals.

Saturday against Palmer,the Dolphins overcame whatFreeman feared would be aslow start after Friday’s game.

“I was a little worriedabout playing this game afterFriday night because I didn’tknow if there was going to bea letdown,” he said.

The score was tied 10-10after the first quarter and 14-14 at the half.

“We want to run but theygot back quickly on defense.They want to run and we gotback, so it was who couldmake more shots in half-court offense,” Freeman said.

Marathon led 28-25 afterthree quarters and at one pointtrailed 32-31. But Chavez hitback-to-back three-pointers toput the Dolphins up five andheld Palmer scoreless the restof the way.

Marathon (8-8) was sched-uled to visit Greater MiamiAcademy on Tuesday.
