Group: Require land acquisition

Florida’s conservationbuys of sensitive lands,which have nearly groundto a halt, must resume, saysa statewide coalition ofenvironmental groups.

A troubled economy andthe current political thrustof the Florida Legislature

have forced large cutbacksin the amount of moneydedicated to protecting thestate’s remaining wildlands, backers of theFlorida Water and LandLegacy Campaign saidTuesday.

“It is more importantthan ever to have an activeland-acquisition program,”said Charles Lee of FloridaAudubon, one of the groupsjoining the Legacy effort.

South Florida and theEverglades, where urbanareas abut unique wildenvironments, is a case inpoint, he said.

“In that kind of inter-face, the bottom line is thatland not purchased formanagement eventually

will be paved over,” Leesaid. “If the state doesn’tbuy it, it’s going to be aWalmart parking lot.”

The Florida Water andLand Legacy Campaign iscollecting signatures for anamendment to the stateConstitution that would

dedicate about $10 billionover the next 20 years toland preservation.

The amendment wouldrequire that a third of alldocument tax revenue beearmarked for Evergladesrestoration, the FloridaForever program and otherenvironmental projects forthe next 20 years. Ifapproved in a planned 2014statewide referendum, theproposal would go into

effect July 1, 2015.The Florida Keys have

been a primary focus ofFlorida Forever and otherstate conservation purchas-es for more than 20 years.

Two elected with no opponents

All five seats on theIslamorada VillageCouncil are up for elec-tion in November, but twoof the races have alreadybeen decided because oflack of competition.

Deb Gillis, a formercouncilwoman who ownsthree hotels in the village,was the only candidate toqualify for Seat 1 by dead-line Tuesday. Seat 1 isnow represented byCouncilman DonAchenberg, who decidednot to seek another term.

Gillis served on thecouncil for only eightmonths. She was appoint-ed to replace Cathi Hill insummer 2009 when Hill,then the mayor, resignedmonths before her termwas up. But Gillis lost aclose election in March2010 to Bob Johnson.(Village elections havesince been changed to

November) Another former council

member Mike Forster,owner of MangroveMike’s Cafe, also is thewinner by default for Seat5, currently held byMayor MichaelReckwerdt. Forster, 52,who is also part owner ofthe Rain Barrel SculptureGallery, served on thecouncil from 2002 to2006. Reckwerdt wasterm-limited out. Councilmembers cannot servemore than four two-yearterms consecutively.

Incumbents TedBlackburn, Ken Philipsonand David Purdo have onecompetitor each for theirrespective Seats 4, 3 and2.

Purdo, 70, is vying fora second term againstnewcomer Travis Yednak.The 31-year-old is partowner of The Real EstateBook of the Florida Keysand Key West, a magazinethat advertises real estatelistings in the county.

Yednak said this weekthat he doesn’t have anyparticular problems withthe way the village isbeing represented, but

said he was encouraged torun by friends and hissense of “civic duty.”

“I’m smart, objectiveand a good listener,”Yednak said. “I wasencouraged by a lot offriends and decided to justgo for it.”

Philipson, 73, is beingchallenged by hotelier andairline pilot Paul Bates,who has run severalunsuccessful campaignsfor Village Council.Bates, 52, owns theCoconut Cove Resort andMarina. His platform con-sists principally of hiringinside legal counsel andsevering ties with Miamilaw firm Weiss, Serota,Helfman, Pastoriza, Coleand Boniske.

Blackburn, 64, facesTodd Chandler. Blackburnis running for his first fullterm as a councilman. Hewas appointed by his fel-low councilmen inDecember 2010 after BobJohnson stepped down forhealth reasons.

Chandler, general man-ager of the Harbor LightsMotel in Islamorada, didnot return a phone call forthis report.

Cunningham said.Snead told the Keynoter

she signed a lease Fridayfor a U.S. 1 location anddoes plan to expand herbusiness, with a partner, toBig Pine. But she calledCunningham’s accusation“a blatant lie.”

“What informationwould I have used that Ididn’t have as a physicaltherapist in this town?” sheasked. “I’ve done absolute-ly nothing on that boardexcept help the hospital runefficiently. I did everythingand more to help the hospi-tal.”

Fishermen’s has a busyphysical therapy operationof its own on Big Pine Key,but Snead told the board it’snot meeting the communi-

ty’s need. She said there isan “18-patient waiting list”and pointed out that shehelped find and design thehospital’s Big Pine loca-tion, opened around a yearago.

“If they can’t serve theneeds, someone has to do it.Because it’s me, its a con-flict of interest,” she said.“All being on that board didwas make me wait.”

Cunningham also saidSnead was privy to infor-mation that Fishermen’swould not renew contractswith cardiologist Dr. LuisAugsten and primary carephysician Dr. Emma Stoll.

“I was told they’d beworking at least out of heroffice in Marathon. We’resupposed to put the com-munity first and I find itproblematic she’s taken

privileged information todevise a business plan tocompete with the hospital,”Cunningham said.

Snead refuted that, say-ing it’s not been decidedwhether either doctorwould lease space from her,nor what location.

“There’s absolutely norelationship with themcoming to me other thanthat we’re friends and wehave been long before I wason the board,” she said.

Board member JeffColdren, a roofer, said he’sOK with Snead steppingdown and with her businessplans.

“She’s in the [physicaltherapy] business and theboard was aware of thebusiness she was in. I don’thave a problem with theway she did it. In an idealarrangement, we wouldn’thave members that mightcompete with us, but that’show it’s been,” he said.

Attorney and boardmember David Kirwan saidhe’s sorry to “see [Snead]leave this way.

“I’m not angry with her;I’m disappointed in the waythis has all played out,” hesaid. “She has access to allthe hospital financials as aboard member. Now she’sgoing to be competingagainst the hospital.”

Financial advisor andboard member PeterChapman was out of townfor Tuesday’s meeting butagreed with Kirwan.

“I was upset to learn thatinformation from the boardmeetings could potentiallybe used against the hospi-tal,” he said.

Board member DanielSamess, the GreaterMarathon Chamber ofCommerce executive direc-tor, declined to comment.Board member RichardMalafy, an attorney, didn’tattend the meeting whereSnead resigned.

“All I can say is Gingeris a friend of mine and Iwish her the best in her newventure,” he said.

Cunningham said theboard is close to namingSnead’s replacement. Hesaid he wanted writtenapproval from each of themembers before the personis announced.

“We want someone whocan represent the communi-ty. I want to make sure thisperson has no conflicts ofinterest or any agendas,”Cunningham said.

Bar: Immigrant eligible

The Florida Board of BarExaminers has found no“good moral character andfitness issues” that woulddisqualify an undocumentedimmigrant from beingadmitted to practice law inFlorida, but awaits an opin-ion from the FloridaSupreme Court before mak-ing a decision.

In a filing Tuesday, theBoard of Bar Examiners noti-fied the Supreme Court that itdetermined last month thatthere are no such characterissues that would automati-

cally disqualify JoseGodinez-Samperio frompracticing law, though it cau-tioned that it’s possible,though unlikely, somethingcould still come to light.Godinez-Samperio, 25, grad-uated from the Florida StateUniversity College of Law.

But the board also noti-fied lawyers representingGodinez-Samperio that afinal decision will wait untilthe state Supreme Courtweighs in.

The letter was made publicwhen it was sent Tuesday tothe Supreme Court to beadded to the record in the case.

Initially, the Bar haddenied Godinez-Samperio’sapplication to the bar, eventhough he graduated from aFlorida law school andpassed the bar exam.

In another filing Tuesday,

the Board of Bar Examinersalso acknowledged that theU.S. Department of Home-land Security’s recentlyannounced change in policyregarding children brought tothe country illegally likely hassome bearing on the issue.

The Obama Admin-istra-tion announced in June thatimmigrants under 30 whoarrived in the country as chil-dren, who otherwise have nocriminal history and whohave served in the military orgraduated from high school,would be allowed to remainin the country and work.

That would appear toapply to Godinez-Samperio,who was brought to the U.S.from Mexico on a visitors’visa when he was 9. His par-ents overstayed their visasand the family neverreturned.

Four saved in ocean

High winds coupled withcrowded August seas requiredthree on-the-water rescues byFlorida Keys state marineofficers this week.

None of the potentiallydangerous incidents resultedin death or serious injury,according to the Florida Fishand Wildlife ConservationCommission.

On Wednesday in theLower Keys, a 16-foot boatwith two men aboard capsizednear American Shoal.

The sun was going downwhen Officer Jimmy Johnsonreceived word of a 911 callmade by cell phone. Hereached the scene around 7:30p.m. to find Jacksonville resi-dents Jeremy Doan and

Edward O’Keefe, both 39, sit-ting atop the overturned hullof their Baycraft boat.

As the two tried to endtheir fishing trip, the boat’sanchor line got caught in thepropeller, turning the boat’sstern into the rough seas.

“Waves [came] over thetransom and flooded the boat,causing it to capsize,” theFWC reported. The boaterstold Johnson that “it took onlyabout 30 seconds to capsize.”

They were able to retrieve adry box with a cell phone tocall for help. Johnson took themen to the Venture OutCampground on Cudjoe Key.A salvor recovered the boat.

In a 10 a.m. Monday inci-dent near Marathon, a diver dis-appeared in bad weather nearEast Washerwoman Shoal.

“Weather conditions wereheavy rain, 3- to 5-foot swellsand winds gusting to 15knots,” FWC officers RyanSmith and DomingoMontalvo described.

A U.S. Coast Guard boatwas dispatched from itsMarathon base, and a U.S.Navy helicopter flying over-head joined the search. Withinminutes, the helicopter crewspotted what appeared to bethe diver on the surface, notfar from the FWC boat.

The unharmed diver, iden-tified only as Bruce Tusitin,was recovered and returnedhis boat.

While on patrol Sunday inthe Dry Tortugas, the FWCoffshore patrol boat PeterGladding was called to helpsearch for a diver, CoryRogers, 22, who had missingfor more than an hour. TheFWC crew calculated the like-ly current pattern and foundRogers about an hour later.

Rogers was in the waterfor nearly three hours, anddrifted about five miles fromhis boat. He gave up one ofhis speared fish to “the sharksthat were nearby,” he told thecrew.

Prescribed burn scrapped

Winds too strong with rainstoo light forced officials tocancel Thursday’s plannedfoliage burn on Big Pine Key.

“The forecast said it wouldbe windy Tuesday andWednesday but it was sup-posed to die down Thursday,”said Dana Cohen, fire-man-agement specialist for theNational Key Deer Refuge.

“It became obvious thatcombined with less moisturethan expected, we would notbe able to meet” required con-ditions, she said.

Factoring into the decision

to postpone is a concern aboutwhether firefighting resourceswould be available, owing to abusy fire season in westernstates.

“The fire activity is aheadof normal out west,” Cohensaid. “More than likely, it willcontinue to increase.”

The prescribed burn on a10-acre tract off the east side ofKey Deer Boulevard wasexpected to be the onlyplanned fire this summer. Itcould happen yet “but thechances are decreasing,”Cohen said.

The refuge would have toreceive word of favorable con-ditions and the availability offirefighting units at least twodays in advance so Big PineKey residents could be alerted.

“Prescribed fire is the burn-ing of vegetation based on aprescription that takes into

consideration fuel — brush —type, fuel moisture, relativehumidity, air temperature,wind speed, wind directionand other atmospheric condi-tions,” says a U.S Fish andWildlife Statement.

A planned fire on 20 acresof Key deer refuge land inSeptember 2011 grew out ofcontrol and burned about 100acres in what became knownas the Blue Hole Fire.

New protocols were adopt-ed in the wake of that blaze,which forced a precautionaryevacuation of the Pine Heightssubdivision. The Blue HoleFire was confined to refugeland and did not damage pri-vate property.

An earlier Keynoter storyincorrectly said the Blue HoleFire was planned for a 10-acresite; it actually was planned for20 acres.

the first week. It may take 10or 12 days to start catchinglobster. Then we could catchthem every day, seven days aweek.”

Keys Fisheries logged amodest 112 pounds of lobsteron Monday, “just enough forour local restaurants,” Gravessaid Friday.

“People think there ought tobe a million pounds of lobsteron opening day but it doesn’twork that way,” Graves said.

“It has not been a greatstart, for sure,” said Marathonfisherman Bruce Irwin.

Lower Keys fishermenJason Yarbrough agreed, “Wehad a full moon and super-clear water, which is not arecipe for success.”

“Once the waters dirty up,the lobsters shed and start toget hungry,” Yarbrough said,“hopefully it will start to pickup.”

In the 2011-12 season,Florida’s commercial fleetcollected about 5.5 millionpounds of lobster statewide,with an average docksideprice of $6.61 per pound.

In recent seasons, higherprices driven by demand fromAsia for lobster — particular-ly live lobster — have bol-stered the industry.

Wholesale prices this sea-son are starting about $1 perpound under below last year,according to scattered reports.

In Maine, a banner sum-mer harvest of soft-shell lob-ster caused wholesale pricesto be slashed by half, to about$2 per pound. Faced with thelowest price seen in decadesand supplies piling up, manyboats have stopped fishing,according to Maine newsreports.

The situation caused aninternational incident whenCanadian lobster fishersblocked U.S. trucks trying todeliver their catch to Canadianlobster-processing plants inNew Brunswick.

Live Maine lobsters seenin selection tanks are hardshells, taken in the fall.

What the Maine pricedecline will mean to theFlorida market cannot yet be

determined, Graves said.“It’s a worldwide market

so it definitely will have aneffect,” he said. “But we havea long way to go before we

figure out what it will be.”Spiny lobster is the most

important seafood catch forthe Keys commercial fleet.

Expanded, Expert MRIService Starts HereState-of-the-art MRI at Fishermen’s Community Hospital is now available Mondaythrough Friday. Expanded operation means appointments are often availablewithin 24 hours of a request.

“MRI produces extremely accurate imaging for a more precise and definitive diagnosis,and is particularly useful for joint and back pain, liver and pancreatic diseases, and tohelp rule out stroke,” said Fishermen’s radiologist Suzanne Shepherd, MD.

Dr. Shepherd is the only radiologist in Monroe County fellowship-trained inmusculoskeletal radiology. This subspecialty provides expertise in advancedinterpretation of MRIs and CT scans of bone, joint and soft tissue.

Accomplished orthopaedic surgeon Ted Collins, MD, says her reading of MRIs is“better than any radiologist I have ever worked with.”

City delays Peary Court decision

An advertising errordelayed Key West CityCommission approval of achange in residential densityallowances for the PearyCourt neighborhood in OldTown.

Development firm WhiteStreet Partners is in theprocess of buying the 24-acre, 157-unit military hous-ing neighborhood from theU.S. Navy’s housing partnerfirm, Southeast HousingLLC.

To meet a city require-ment that 30 percent of theunits be affordable, WhiteStreet Partners needs to con-struct 48 new units. That’s adensity of nine units peracre, as opposed to the eightas publicly advertised.

That led the commissionTuesday night to withdrewthe issue for considerationso it can be taken up againafter correct advertisementsare circulated.

White Street Partnersplanner Donna Bosoldpointed out in making herclient’s case that the sur-rounding neighborhoodssupport density of up to 16units per acre, nearly half ofwhat’s required in PearyCourt.

Naja Girard, who livesnearby in the Palm Avenueneighborhood, asked com-missioners not to includethat comparison in theirdecision-making.

“I would urge you not tolook at the density, 16 unitsper acre, of the neighboringareas that were built up longago when we didn’t havetraffic issues like we dotoday or hurricane safetyissues like we do today.”

“Please don’t increasedensity in Key West. I don’tthink we need to be doingthat at all anymore.”

Singh gets hotel approval

After much discussionabout where employeeswould park in already-crowded Old Town, theKey West CityCommission on Tuesdayapproved a developmentplan for a 96-room hotelon Caroline Street.

Developer PritamSingh, who built outTruman Annex and theParrot Key Hotel andResort among otherFlorida Keys properties,wants to transform theformer Jabour’s TrailerCourt into a denselylandscaped HarborsideHotel.

Singh acquired theproperty after a bankforeclosed on the failedWatermark condomini-um project.

The development plancalls for off-site parkingfor hotel guests in anearby city-owned lot.Singh says he will planfor and secure employeeparking, but at this pointhasn’t analyzed hisneeds or found space.

Guest parking in thecity lot will cost Singh$104,000 per year.

The employee parkingissue was enough tolose CommissionerJimmy Weekley’svote. Commis-sioner MarkR o s s it h r e a t -e n e dt o

follow suit but voted infavor.

“Where are theemployees parking?”Rossi asked Singh. “Youtold us you were goingto do employee parking.Where are they parking?Off site in the neighbor-hoods?”

“I don’t have a spacefor them at this particularpoint,” Singh responded.“I have to solve the park-ing off-site problem. Wehave to make arrange-ments.”

Several people wholive in the neighborhoodobjected to the size ofthe planned hotel.

Richard Curry, whohas lived at Caroline andElizabeth streets formore than six decades,asked, “When is enoughenough?”

“Traffic is out of con-trol,” Curry said. “All ofa sudden when employ-ees that live in StockIsland and everywhereelse pile in there andtake up the spaces so alot of local parking isgone. The project is toolarge for the area.Would you like 96units acrossfrom yourhouse? Id o n ’ tt h i n kso.”

Street artistsAlso Tuesday, com-

missioners postponedadoption of two proposedordinances meant to reg-ulate street artists andperformers working onDuval Street.

One law would prohib-it artists from selling theirwares within 75 feet of astore that sells similaritems. The other new lawwould prohibit artists andperformers from workingon Duval from the inter-section of South Street tothe South Street Pier.

Mayor Craig Cates andCommissioner ClaytonLopez, the respectivesponsors, say they willmeet with those affectedand try to find a lessrestrictive compro-mise.

26 named in report

Former Monroe CountyTechnical Services DirectorLisa Druckemiller says she’sbeing judged prematurelyfor her alleged theft and re-selling of 52 county-ownedApple iPads and iPhones toco-workers and others.

Druckemiller, 51, entereda written plea of not guiltyon Wednesday, not appear-ing in Monroe CountyCircuit Court. She’s accusedof two felony counts of deal-ing in stolen property and ascheme to defraud between$20,000 and $50,000.

Referring to herself,Druckemiller told theKeynoter Friday that a 31-year county employeewouldn’t be compromised“in one day.” She’s long inti-mated that several co-work-ers were involved in thescheme.

“I encourage you to waitfor the report,” she said,referring to a grand juryreport finalized Monday.

Assistant State AttorneyMark Wilson told theKeynoter that 26 “potential-ly censurable” individualsnamed in the report are enti-tled to a 15-day review peri-od before it’s made public.

The report was finalizedAug. 3 and the final person

named in it received it Aug.7.

There is a “statutory 15-day limit to file a motion toeither repress or expungeportions they believe areimproper or unlawful. Itdoesn’t get filed with the[Monroe County Clerk’sOffice] until that 15-daywindow comes and goes,”he said. “If you’re namedand there’s even an infer-ence that your conduct wascensurable, you get a copy.”

That almost certainlyincludes County Admin-istrator Roman Gastesi,who’s insinuated he testifiedbefore the grand jury thatinvestigated the theft.

Gastesi has admitted topaying Druckemiller cashfor an iPad and two iPhones,while senior systems analystHank Kokenzie paid cashfor three iPads and twoiPhones.

Wilson said it would takeonly one of the 26 noticedpeople to file a motion forthe report’s release to bedelayed. He said suchmotions are “not typical, butit does happen.”

“The problem is that,unfortunately for peoplewho get named, the groundsfor repressing aren’t, ‘I feelI’m being unfairly criti-cized.’ The only groundsyou can raise is that the crit-icism falls outside the grandjury’s inquiry,” he said.

Meanwhile, Wilson saidhe’s discussed a potentialplea with Druckemillerattorneys Ron Strauss and

Robert Cintron. Cintrondeclined to comment on thetalks.

“I met with [them] onAug. 2 and we talked forabout an hour and we’ll talksome more. I think we’rereasonably close,” Wilsonsaid, noting time spent in jailor prison is the main stickingpoint.

“I’m sure it won’t comeas any surprise they’re try-ing to minimize the amountof time she serves. They, ofcourse, would prefer jail.Our position is it meritsprison time and so here weare,” he said. Cintron did notreturn a Friday call for com-ment.

Jail time is anythingunder one year to be servedat the Monroe CountyDetention Center on StockIsland. Prison terms areserved at larger state institu-tions.

Druckemiller came underinvestigation in March whena county Fire Rescue admin-istrative assistant noticed an$800 iPad charge on thedepartment’s monthly AT&Tbill. Fire Chief Jim Callahansays it was for an iPadassigned to Capt. SteveZavalney — who neverreceived the device.

Druckemiller is tentative-ly scheduled to stand trialbefore Circuit Court JudgeWayne Miller at 8:30 a.m.Oct. 15 at the FreemanJustice Center in Key West.

“We expect it to beresolved long before that,”Wilson said.

IPAD/IPHONE INVESTIGATION

County: Navy EIS flawed

Monroe County willask the U.S. Navy to tossout its draft environmen-tal impact statement forincreased operations atNaval Air Station KeyWest and start over.

When it meetsWednesday at the MurrayE. Nelson Governmentand Cultural Center inKey Largo, the commis-sion is expected to OK a12-page letter to be sent toNaval FacilitiesEngineering CommandSoutheast in Jacksonvillethat outlines 41 specificconcerns. They’re mostlyrelated to increased air-craft noise.

The voluminous draftEIS details existing condi-tions at the Lower Keysmilitary base and consid-ers three alternatives thatwould increase flight

training and, subsequent-ly, how the associated jetnoise would impact arearesidents and the environ-ment.

“Monroe County can-not support any of theaction alternatives at thistime. Therefore, werespectfully request thatthe Navy withdraw” thedraft EIS, the letter says.

Commissioner KimWigington calls the letter“protective” andexplained that by askingfor a withdrawal, thecounty is asking the Navyto start over on the draft-stage EIS, including a re-evaluation of current con-ditions.

Of the four options —three alternatives and tak-ing no action — the mostextreme would increaseflight operations from thecurrent 47,500 to a maxi-mum of 57,000, in addi-tion to swapping the F-18Super Hornet for thenewer, and in someinstances louder, F-35Lightning II.

Part of the countyobjection to the action

alternatives is the assess-ment of ongoing opera-tions at NAS Key West.

“We are concerned thatthe baseline condition ...does not accurately reflectcurrent conditions.Without an accurate base-line condition, the analy-sis of the proposed alter-native is flawed.”

Monroe Countyalready has an ordinancethat defines the areaimpacted by Navy jetnoise and how the mili-tary and county can col-laborate on zoning anddevelopment issues. Thatarea, running from StockIsland west along theKeys to Bay Point,encompasses some 2,532developed properties,according to countyGrowth Managementstaff.

NAS Key West spokes-woman Trice Denny sayspublic comments areincorporated into the EIS,answered by subject-areaexperts, reviewed by fed-eral decision-makers andincluded in the final docu-ment.

Council to codify hotel-room law

A new law allowing thecity of Marathon to hand outup to 200 hotel-room alloca-tions is up for second hearingTuesday before the CityCouncil.

The council gave initialapproval at its July 24 meet-ing, with minor changes tothe advisory PlanningCommission’s version of thelaw.

It adopts changes to thecity’s land development regu-lations lifting a longstandingmoratorium on new transientrental units. The city was

awarded 100 new units by thestate Cabinet in January, aswell as the right to borrowforward another 100.

The council overrodePlanning CommissionerMorgan Hill’s suggestion tohave the law include RVs inthe allocation of the units.Planning Director GeorgeGarrett said the state is clear itprefers hotel units to RVs.

RVs would be ineligiblefor the first 100 units, but thecouncil agreed to considerRV units if the city borrowsforward from its own pool inthe future.

The law would finalizenumerous other criteria toapply for the units. Theyinclude a maximum alloca-tion to any property of 25units, or 25 percent of thetotal number of existing units;

one active application perindividual, entity or corpora-tion; a $5,000 application fee;and demonstration of finan-cial capability to complete theproject.

Tuesday’s meeting isscheduled for 5:30 p.m. at theMarathon GovernmentCenter. Other agenda itemsinclude:

• A discussion led by ViceMayor Dick Ramsay regard-ing the Maytag CleanLaundry and its sewer-relatedexpenses with the city.

The city passed a law in2009 allowing owner DonnaFarmer to lease sewer creditsand avoid paying around$260,000 over 20 years for31.7 equivalent dwellingunits. EDUs relate to theamount of water flow at aproperty.

According to city records,the laundry’s annual sewercredit assessment is $14,472.

“If you add up how muchshe makes and how much shepays on flows ... she’s losingmoney staying open,”Ramsay said.

He said he’ll suggestamending the ordinance toread that Laundromats becharged for one EDU ($5,730in the city of Marathon)regardless of water use andpay standard usage fees ontop of that.

• A pair of resolutionsapproving amendments to theFaro Blanco resort allowingKey West-based developerSpottswood Cos. to increasethe proposed Hyatt from 100to 125 rooms. The CityCouncil gave initialapproval to the newplans on July 24.

Female pillar coral confirmed

On an Aug. 4 night divenear Key Largo, Florida Fishand Wildlife ConservationCommission researchers sawsomething previously unseenin the state: Male and femalepillar coral spawning together.

The divers, in Florida KeysNational Marine Sanctuarywaters, witnessed male pillarcoral colonies release sperm,

followed a few minutes laterby female colonies releasingeggs. It marked the first offi-cially documented occurrenceof such behavior in Florida.

Previously, it had beenunclear whether a female pil-lar coral population existed inthe state, as no one had docu-mented the release of pillarcoral eggs. Researchers wereon hand to try to observe theactivity during the two- tofive-day period after theAugust full moon, a timewhen corals are known to

spawn.“We are excited to confirm

the presence of male andfemale pillar coral colonies inFlorida,” said Kate Lunz, anFWC research scientist whoparticipated in the dive. “Thisindicates a population with thepotential to reproduce.”

Unlike many other stonycoral species, which produceboth sperm and eggs, pillarcoral form separate male andfemale colonies for reproduc-tion. The colonies are made upof multiple pillars, or columns,

clustered together and risingfrom the ocean floor.

Pillar coral is a state-listedthreatened species and is rarein the Florida reef tract. Itsrange in the state is believed tostretch from Palm BeachCounty to the Dry Tortugas. Itwas a popular target of thecurio trade before its collec-tion was banned. The coralcontinues to face threats fromdisease, sedimentation andother factors.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Criticism unwarrantedI was very disappointed in the article

about the old Seven Mile Bridgedesigns.

These Florida International Univer-sity students worked very hard on theirideas. Some of them were fantastic.They were not supposed to worry aboutmoney, just great ideas.

But all that was written in theKeynoter were negative quotes from thecounty commissioners and staff.Hopefully, we can draw on some ofthese designs and incorporate them intoa plan for the old Seven Mile Bridge thatwe can all be proud of. This is a greatpiece of our history and needs to be pre-served.

I am sure everyone long ago thoughtHenry Flagler was unrealistic, but if notfor him, we might all not even be here. I

would bet if you gave any one of thesedesigns to Disneyland, they could buildit. So why can’t we? I would like tothank all of the students who worked onthis project.

Take fire adviceThe National Key Deer Refuge plans

to burn a 10-acre strip along Key DeerBoulevard. This parcel was just burnedthree years ago in 2009. There is no eco-logical reason for this burn to take place.

In November 2011, refuge managerAnne Morkill said the refuge’s fire man-agement plan calls for a burn cycle ofeight to 12 years. This was after therefuge’s out-of-control prescribed burnon Sept. 15, 2011, and new burn guide-lines were adopted.

This parcel is part of a Pleistoceneridge that runs along Key DeerBoulevard from just south of the BlueHole and into the Eden Pines subdivi-sion. It is a unique geological featureand the longest and highest ridge in theLower Keys. It contains a unique sink-hole community found nowhere else.

When the bike path was constructedhere, I was able to convince MonroeCounty Public Works to curve it aroundthe sinkholes instead of degrading them.They contain a large percentage of theonly remaining swamp bay trees, perseaborbonea, left in the Keys. These raretrees along with other species are theremnants of a flora from when the sealevel was much lower than present.They survived the 2009 burn scorchedand top burned.

In late September 2011, we werepromised a public panel discussionregarding prescribed burning in theKeys to take place in January 2012. Themanagement of the refuge has avoidedthis commitment. Although we met withtheir burn boss in 2009 and offered sug-gestions, no similar opportunities havetaken place since.

The Keys have lost half of their pinerocklands in the past 30 years. It is notright to experiment anymore on what wehave left. Prescribed burns should beconducted only under the most stringentconditions.

We urge the managers of theNational Key Deer Refuge to adoptthe burn parameters of the PineRocklands Citizens Task Force andrespect the safety of our residents andprotect the remaining habitats andwildlife within the refuge.

Efforts to purge voter rolls,restrict registration off base;state should act to avoid trial

In golf, a mulligan is a do-over — a chance to for-get a bad hit off the tee and get a second chance.

It might be that Florida should try for a mulliganin its battle with the federal government over thestate’s voter-roll purge.

Despite a slew of lawsuits filed in state and feder-al courts, Florida is hanging tough and says itsefforts to disqualify thousands of registered votersare designed to ferret out fraud.

The federal government sued in June, arguing thatFlorida was violating federal election laws in howthe purge was conducted and by ordering the purgetoo close to an election.

Here in the Florida Keys, our own Republicansupervisor of elections, Harry Sawyer, joined otherlocal elections officials — Democrats andRepublicans — and basically said “enough.”

The state purge list included names of non-citi-zens who had Florida driver licenses — a listSawyer described as “old and not accurate.”

Florida countersued the federal government,demanding access to the U.S. Department ofHomeland Security’s immigration database to cross-check with state voter rolls, looking to track downnon-citizens. The feds gave Florida access to theimmigration database July 13.

In the meantime, U.S. District Court Judge RobertHinkle issued an order that struck down parts ofFlorida’s 2011 election law “reforms.” He said thestate can’t require voter registration groups to sub-mit signed forms within 48 hours of them beingsigned or face fines, a restriction widely seen as dis-couraging the type of voter registration drives thattook place in the lead-up to the 2008 presidentialelection.

Hinkle said voter-registration activity is protectedspeech under the First Amendment.

Florida is racking up big legal expenses continu-ing to fight challenges to its restrictive voting lawsas well as the flawed motor-voter purge launchedearlier this year.

Instead of continuing to bull blindly down thatpath, it’s time for Gov. Rick Scott and state electionofficials to take a mulligan.

Hinkle signed an order on Wednesday that signalsa trial date may be set in January. It’s already too lateto impact the November presidential race — that’swater over the dam.

But it’s not too late to repair Florida’s damagedreputation for fair and impartial elections.

Code fines approaching $700,000

The owner of a Key Largolot with two dilapidatedmobile homes has accruedalmost $700,000 in countyliens because the property isso cluttered and the trailers aredeteriorating and unlivable.

The lot stands out in theCross Key Waterways subdi-vision, a waterfront communi-ty behind the Pink Plaza shop-ping center on the bayside ofU.S. 1 around mile marker103.5.

Most of the neighboringhouses and mobile homes arewell maintained, but the4,000-square-foot canal-frontlot owned by Jean PierreFrancois Sandal looks like ajunkyard.

At least two broken-down,older-model cars, severalboats, bicycles, PVC pipes,fishing gear and other itemslitter the lot. The canal behindit has at least two abandonedvessels.

Inside the mobile homes,the conditions are just as bad,

or worse, according toMonroe County documents.An agenda summary for theCounty Commission, states“mobile home in state of dete-rioration; mobile home floorssagging and shed walls lean-ing; and unsafe electric,plumbing and floors.”

The County Commissionis scheduled to discuss the lotat its Aug. 15 meeting at theMurray E. NelsonGovernment and CulturalCenter in Key Largo. Thefive-member board is expect-ed to approve initial litigationagainst Sandal, “including butnot limited to foreclosing thecode compliance liens on hisproperties.”

Sandal could not bereached for comment. He wasnot at his Calder Road lot, anda phone call made to a numberfound for him after an Internetsearch went unanswered.

The phone number wasconnected to a boat repairbusiness Sandal apparentlyran out of his property, calledFinal Touch Yacht Refinish-ing. The business is listed inseveral online directories, butdoes not appear to have everbeen registered with the state.

Sandal apparently hasn’tresponded to county officials’numerous attempts to reach

him since 2009, either. “Theowner has not attended any ofthe Code Compliance hear-ings nor made any effort toclean up either property,”county legal staff wrote in amemo to the CountyCommission.

The Monroe County CodeCompliance Departmentreceived its first complaintfrom neighbors about Sandal’sproperty in March 2009. Aspecial magistrate deemed theproperty uninhabitable laterthat year and imposed a fine of$150 per day that commencedrunning on Nov. 26, 2009. Themagistrate hiked up the finesto $400 a day effective July13, 2011.

By the time of next week’sCounty Commission meeting,the liens will have accrued to$686,888, according to coun-ty records.

The county propertyappraiser has also revoked thehomestead exemption Sandalclaimed on one of the trailers

when it was discovered helives in Miami-Dade County.

Florida’s homesteadexemption reduces theamount of a home’s taxableassessed value by $50,000 ifthe home is the owner’s pri-mary residence. This meansthe owner of a $350,000home pays property taxes on$300,000. Homestead fraud isa first-degree misdemeanor.

Wes Brown, fromMorehead City, N.C., wasstaying in a vacation rentalhome with his family acrossthe street from Sandal’s prop-erty earlier this week. Thewell-kept, two-story concretehome right on the bay couldnot be more of a contrast tothe derelict mess just feetaway - an observation not loston Brown.

“It’s great to come to theKeys and rent a house,”Brown said. “This place isreally nice, but it’s a shameyou look across the street andhave to see that.”

Daffy Doug’s is no more

Daffy Doug’s DiscountDollar owner Doug Austin sayshe’d “rather be poor and happythan rich and miserable.”

That’s the outlook he sayshe took when his popular dol-lar store around mile marker48.5 of U.S. 1 in Marathonclosed for good Sunday.

The store was open for justunder three years. Austin saidhis landlord moved to evict himwhen he fell 60 days behind onthe $11,000 monthly rent.

He estimates 5,000 shop-pers crowded the store on itsfinal weekend, waitingupward of an hour to checkout items 50 percent off. Byclosing Sunday, Austin saidthe store was giving away per-ishables like milk and cheese.

Austin said he believes theimpact on lower-income resi-dents that frequented his storewill be “enormous.” He saysresidents turned to DaffyDoug’s for discount prices onhome essentials like papertowels and toilet paper.

“We heard it every day

from the poorer people,” hesaid, referring to their appreci-ation of lower prices.

Austin said a combinationof factors led to the closing,most notably those samelower-income consumershunkering down in a downeconomy. He said customersare buying “necessities,” asopposed to “trinkets and funthings” with a much highermarkup.

“We were always busy,”he said, “but we have to do $3million [in business per year]to break even. We only have18 parking spaces,” he said.

Parking was a huge issue,Austin said. He went as far asto rent six spots from the adja-cent business Sea Air LandTechnologies for $1,000monthly.

But it was never enough,just like expanding the busi-ness to include a deli and bait-and-tackle shop wasn’tenough to keep the store open.Austin says he was forced totry to create more profit.

“I never wanted to expand atall,” he said, noting DaffyDoug’s “has never been in theblack.”

Austin says he’s losteverything trying to sustainthe store, including savingsand numerous properties suchas his house near Sombrero

Beach. His Big Pine Key dol-lar store shut down around ayear ago. Austin estimateshe’s invested $1 million intothe Marathon location.

Austin, 51, says he’s runvarious businesses over the past30-plus years, including a char-ter fishing company and tworestaurants. He had a businessrenting out parasails and per-sonal watercraft in the 1970s.

But whatever it was, hesays he had always been suc-cessful. Daffy Doug’s wasgoing to be his last businessbefore retirement either way,but Austin said he neverexpected it to end this way.

“I lost not only big, I losthuge,” he said.

Out-of-town movers havespent the past week packingwhat’s left of the store up intoboxes. Austin had two roomsin the back jam packed full ofpallets wrapped in plastic.

The plan is to have thempicked up in semi-trailertrucks and stored in a NorthFlorida building Austin owns.He said he hopes to auctionthe whole lot off to someone.

The building is owned byR.D.J. Corp. in Jacksonville.It’s broken up into two parcelsvalued at $1.16 million,according to the MonroeCounty Property Appraiser’sOffice.

The inside of Daffy Doug’s is now just a shell since the shelves were taken down and most ofthe remaining inventory removed.

Cruise industry hurting

Six months after the CostaConcordia struck a giant rockand capsized, the cruiseindustry is treading water,faced with depressed fares inkey markets, continuing neg-ative headlines and would-becruisers still spooked by thedeadly disaster.

Relatives of the 32 peoplewho died in the wreck gath-ered Friday on the island ofGiglio to remember their lostloved ones. The 952-footship remains on its side in thewater off the coast of Italy,awaiting the cranes that willpull it upright. If all goesaccording to plan, theConcordia will be towedaway by the end of January— more than a year after thewreck.

As work to remove thewreck moves to a new phase,cruise operators — manybased in South Florida — arestill looking for a financialrecovery. By the end of this

year, they hope, their busi-nesses will be on a straightercourse.

In the meantime, lawsuitsrelated to the Jan. 13 catas-trophe are piling up. Thecaptain blamed for the acci-dent — still being investigat-ed but no longer on housearrest — is making newheadlines in television inter-

views. And the larger ques-tion of safety on cruise shipsis earning greater scrutiny aslongtime critics gain a wideraudience.

“My gut is that we won’tsee the new normal until weget past the year’s anniver-sary,” said Carolyn SpencerBrown, editor-in-chief of thewebsite CruiseCritic.com.

Strategy’s key atconsignment stores

Florida is home to someof the best consignmentstores in the country. Notonly are they great for sell-ing your gently used items,they’re also great for find-ing unique vintage andbrand-name items for afraction of the cost.

Think of them as ahand-selected version of athrift store or garage salewithout all the junk. Onlythe best of the best getssold at consignment bou-tiques.

That said, people oftensay that shopping at con-signment stores can beintimidating. They don’tlike digging and they’reoverwhelmed before theyeven get started. Well, hereare some recommenda-tions to help.

Start your visit by ask-ing the owner or salesassociate if they have any-thing new in. This usuallywill prompt them to showyou a few of their favoritethings around the store,which usually translates tobe a really great find.

Next, start shopping inthe jewelry or accessoriesarea, as they’re typicallydisplayed in an easy-to-browse way that will letyou look without all thedigging.

Look for great banglesand long pendants to pairwith dresses and sandalsfor a beachy chic look.Also look for vintageclutches for evenings outand unique sunglasses.After all, a Florida Keysgirl can never have toomany sunglasses.

Dresses are anothereasy area to browsebecause they’re usuallyhung by size and style andcan be easily siftedthrough without muchwork. Fashion repeatsitself, so many of the stylesthat would be consideredvintage are back in again.

Always try it on —many vintage pieces aren’tmarked or accuratelysized. At the very least,your dressing-room expe-

r i e n c ecould turninto a funflashbackto a 1980sprom.

L o o kfor design-er namessince con-s ignmentstores usu-

ally carry a great selectionof high-end labels most ofus would never normallybe able to afford.

Make sure to alwaysdouble check your itemsbefore you buy, as manymay be vintage and youwant to be sure you’re OKwith its condition. Nothingis worse than getting homeonly to realize it’s missinga button and you don’thave time to make repairs.That said, most consign-ment stores will onlyaccept items in the bestcondition.

Here are a few amazingpieces found the atMS.cellaneous consign-ment boutique inIslamorada, just to giveyou some ideas.

• Vintage gold-meshnecklace with large medal-lion ($30). Pair this neck-lace with a long maxi dressand gold bangles and ear-rings.

• Chain body jewelry($60). This piece wouldlook amazing over a blackdress.

• Black vintage ‘80sdress size 8 ($20). Thestyle is so in again. Wear itwith cute heels to a moreformal function since it’slong, hitting just beneaththe knees. Consider cuttingout the shoulder pads,although leaving them incould be kind of fabulous,as well.

• Escada knit suit ($46).Vintage suits look greatwhen separated for a moremodern look. Worn morelike a sweater, this knitjacket would be a preppyaddition to a chic struc-tured shift dress for coolerevenings.

• Pastel green vintagehandbag and matchinggloves ($28). This bag isso effortlessly ladylike,

35 turn out forHurricanes football

Coral Shores High Schoolstarted fall preseason footballin a hurry this week.

“Two minutes to go!” sec-ond-year head coach EdHolly shouted following hiscarefully timed practiceschedule during a passingdrill at Thursday’s first ses-sion of full-pad contact.

Monday’s opening sessiondrew 35 players for theHurricane workout, with sever-al veterans expected to join asthey return from family trips.Ranks could swell as morefirst-year freshmen turn outwhen school begins Aug. 20.

“We’re just excited to getstarted,” Holly said.

A summer weightlifting andconditioning program headedby trainer and assistant coachAdam Bort regularly attractedabout “a great turnout” of 18 to20 players, Holly said.

The Hurricanes stage thefall Green and Gold Game,an intrasquad scrimmage at 7p.m. Friday at Coral Shores.That sets the stage for a pre-

season Kickoff Classic gameat 7:30 p.m. Aug. 24, playedin Tavernier against visitingKeys Gate Charter.

The regular season opensat home Aug. 31 againstSolid Rock Christian School.

Coral Shores then plungesinto its first South FloridaFootball Conference sched-

ule with seven games againstleague foes before confer-ence playoffs in late October.

The Hurricanes and rivalMarathon High School bothcompete in the conference’sSouth Division, along withMiami-Dade schools Arch-bishop Curley, FloridaChristian, LaSalle, Miami

Country Day and RansomEverglades.

The 14-team conferencecame together when a coali-tion of South Florida schoolathletic officials agreed tostep out of state district playto arrange schedules match-ing programs of similar sizeand ability.

Coral Shores receiver Jim Rhyne (2) tries to elude two Hurricane teammates in a Thursdaypassing drill during preseason practice. The Canes stage an intrasquad next Friday.

Conchs hit the field

“Now it’s time to have alittle fun,” Johnny Hughes,Key West High’s new foot-ball coach, said at 4 Thursdayafternoon, just before theteam’s first practice in fullarmor. (The previous threedays had seen the playerswork out in shorts.)

Hughes was in his office, aroom where the air-condition-ing was on the blink. On aboard was a diagramed playcalled “600 flood comeback(wildcat),” part of the Conchs’new flexbone (triple-option)offense that will be displayedduring a preseason gameagainst Cardinal Gibbons at7:30 p.m. Aug. 23 (aThursday) at Tommy RobertsMemorial Stadium.

“We’ve been working allsummer,” Hughes said, allud-

ing to long hours ofweightlifting and conditioningdrills that involved heavy tiresand massive shrimp ropes.

There was also a three-daycamp in July that was part ofsomething called the FlexboneAssociation, a national groupof coaches (from Navy,Georgia Tech and smallerschools) devoted to the triple-option. “We share information

about the offense and how todo what against certaindefenses,” Hughes said.

The camp was conductedby a high-school coach fromWisconsin who had ridden theflexbone to 10 state titles. “Hesaid, ‘When you do it right,it’s a tough offense to stop —you just have to know whereto go,’ “ Hughes said.

The visiting coach had

high praise, Hughes said, forquarterback Donald Robertsand the speedy running backDeonte Stemage.

The Conchs were intro-duced to the flexbone in May,but it failed to produce a pointin a spring-game loss. Hughesbelieves that his players canmaster it, especially if play-action and sprint-out passesare occasionally mixed in.

“Our first-team guys canbe very competitive,” hesaid. “But we need to acquirequality depth.”

An hour later, the already-sweaty Conchs, in white uni-forms and shiny red helmets,were out on the field runningsprints. “You’re gonna repre-sent this whole damn island,”assistant coach J.P. Garciashouted. “Let’s go, baby.Conch pride. Give it up.”

The players’ shoulderpads clicked as they ran.Drills were next and thesounds got louder as theConchs punished blockingdummies and then one anoth-er. Two weeks didn’t seemfar away.

U.S.: Patchwork of potato chips

You say potato, I say pot-ah-toe ... chip. And that’s justthe start of it.

Though thin and flat maybe the national standard —and bestselling variety — ofthis ubiquitous snack,regional and sometimeshyper-local preferences fordifferent calibers of crunch,thickness, seasonings andendless other elements havecreated a surprisingly diverseculinary patchwork of chipstyles around the country.

That’s right — the chipsyou nosh in the Northeastcould be wildly differentthan those savored in theSouth.

Midwesterners, for exam-ple, prefer a thicker, moresubstantial chip. Big, heartychips also sell well in NewEngland and the Rockies,though in the latter areathose progressive mountainfolk want theirs with arti-sanal seasonings.

Southerners love barbe-cue flavor, chip industryexecutives say, but it needsto be sprinkled on thin, melt-in-your-mouth chips.

Southwestern states pre-dictably go for bold andspicy. Local flavors — suchas New Orleans Cajun andMid-Atlantic crab seasoning— find their way onto chipsin those places. And peopleall across the country, itseems, love a curly, shatter-ing kettle chip.

“People like the potatochip they grew up with,”says Jim McCarthy, chiefexecutive officer at theRosslyn, Va.-based SnackFood Association, a tradegroup that represents themany denizens of conven-ience store shelves. “There’sa very strong brand recogni-tion and brand loyalty to thechip you grew up with.”

Potato chips areAmerica’s No. 1 snack,according to the group’s2012 state-of-the-industryreport, and we spent $9 bil-lion on them in 2010, 50 per-cent more than what wespent on the No. 2 snack, tor-tilla chips.

More than half of thosesales go to Plano, Texas-based Frito-Lay NorthAmerica, whose originalthin, crispy chip is the top-seller. But hometown styles

still claim their territory.In the Pacific Northwest,

Seattle’s thick-cut Tim’sCascade Style offers big biteand bigger flavors, such asjalapeno made from real pep-pers and a salt and vinegarchip that “makes you puck-er” says Dave West, salesdirector for the company.

Over in the Rockies, ket-tle-cooked Boulder Canyonchips pair their crunchy bitewith artisanal seasoningssuch as red wine vinegar,spinach and artichoke, andbalsamic and rosemary.

Down the map in theSouthwest, Arizona-basedPoore Brothers offers twovarieties of kettle-cookedchips with mouth-numbingheat from jalapenos andhabaneros.

“People in this regionreally tend to like this pep-per, these stronger, spicierflavors,” says Steven Sklar,senior vice president of mar-keting at Phoenix, Ariz.-based Inventure Foods Inc.,which owns the BoulderCanyon and Poore Brothersbrands. “You’ve got a hardbite with a strong flavor. Thecombination makes a big dif-ference.”

While Southerners likespice, industry executivessay, the region’s traditionalchip is thin and flaky.

“The southern consumerprefers a lighter, thinnerpotato chip,” says JulieMcLaughlin, director ofmarketing at Birmingham,Ala.-based Golden FlakeSnack Foods, which makesGolden Flake Thin & CrispyPotato Chips.

The company sells across10 states in the Southeast,

McLaughlin says, and itsbest-selling chip is SweetHeat Barbecue, one of fivebarbecue varieties it makes.Golden Flake also offers athick-cut, wavy chip,McLaughlin says, “for thetransplants.”

Advances in potato chipmaking technology and dis-tribution have flattened whatmay once have been a muchwider variety of regionalchip preferences, some ana-lysts and executives say.Potato chip making began inthe mid-19th Century withmom-and-pop operations inpractically any small townwith access to potatoes, oiland a kettle to fry them in.

Today, the industry uses“chipping potatoes” grownspecifically for the purpose,and has developed technolo-gy to produce a more uni-form chip. Advances inpackaging and the emer-gence of big box chainsmean chips now can travelmuch farther, spreading oncelocal tastes throughout thecountry.

“Through the mass mar-keters, through Costco andBJs, Walmart, a lot of prod-uct that was regional hasnow become national,” saysthe Snack Food Associa-

tion’s McCarthy. “You canfind Utz potato chips inCalifornia and before youcouldn’t.”

WPA Artists captured a time and place now lost

The Key West Art &Historical Society presents“Celebrating the Colors ofKey West,” the art of JackBaron, and “Coping withDepression - the WPAArtists in Key West.”

The exhibit opensThursday, Aug. 16, from5:30-7 p.m. and is free to thepublic.

Strong women roles, stories imbue ‘The Dixie Swim Club’

North Carolina’s OuterBanks are the setting forthe Marathon CommunityTheatre’s “The DixieSwim Club,” which returnsAug. 23-25 for a secondengagement after a suc-cessful run in January.

The play explores thelives and friendships offive Southern women, allmembers of a collegeswim team who meet everyAugust to recharge.

And with the SummerOlympics in London, whatbetter time to reprise thistopical story and its char-acters, who tred across awatery landscape of mem-ories and misunderstand-ings spanning more thanthree decades?

A synopsis of the story,written by Jessie Jones,Nicholas Hope and Jamie

Wooten, sets the stage: “Astheir lives unfold and theyears pass, these womenincreasingly rely on oneanother, through adviceand raucous repartee.”

The challenges aremany and include men,sex, marriage, parenting,divorce, aging. Think of itas the wheel of liferemembered (and some-times forgotten) with sto-ries that intertwine andunravel.

Wooten was awriter/producer for manyseasons with “The GoldenGirls.” So expect some ofthe same funny banterfound in that award-win-ning television comedy.

The story showcasesstrong roles for strongwomen: Sheree, thespunky team captain, des-perately tries to maintainher organized and “per-fect” life, and continues tobe the group’s leader.

Dinah, the wisecrackingoverachiever, is a careerdynamo. But her victoriesin the courtroom are in

stark contrast to the frus-trations of her personallife.

Lexie, pampered andoutspoken, is determinedto hold on to her looks andyouth as long as possible.She enjoys being married— over and over and overagain.

The self-deprecatingand acerbic Vernadette,acutely aware of the darkcloud that hovers over herlife, has decided to justgive in and embrace thechaos.

And sweet, eager-to-please Jeri Neal experi-ences a late entry intomotherhood that takesthem all by surprise.

“When fate throws awrench into one of theirlives in the second act,”the authors note, “thesefriends - proving theenduring power of team-work - rally ‘round theirown with the strength andlove that takes this comedyin a poignant and surpris-ing direction.”

This special return

engagement Aug. 23-25will be a reading of theplay, which takes place inthe theater gallery.

“The audience is wel-come to sit comfortably intheir seats, niggling ontasty treats and sippingbeer, wine or soft drinksduring the show,” saidBonnie Greenberg, generalmanager.

For this production, thegallery will be set up caféstyle, she added, and“there will be a small plat-form stage along the wall.”

The cast from the full-scale January productionreturns for this summerrevival, Greenberg said.

The Marathon cast for“Dixie Swim Club” isChristine Harrison(Bernadette, the hard-luckschool teacher with a prob-lematic home life); TrishHentze (Lexie, a youth-obsessed man-magnet);Jennifer Powell (Sheree,hyper-organized healthnut); Jenn Mixon-Eick

CRS Activity 510Floodplain ManagementPlanning

ANNUAL PROGRESSREPORT

The City of Key Colony Beachis a 1/2 square mile oceanfrontresidential island which takesfloodplain management veryseriously. Damage reductionactivities are a major priority.

Our city is part of the MonroeCounty and IncorporatedMunicipalities Local MitigationStrategy Group and has beensince its inception in the 1990’sand attended by myself duringall the years.

This evaluation report wasprepared by the City’s BuildingOfficial/CRS Coordinator whoworks together with theMayor/City Administrator on allcity projects, daily operation ofthe city and all legal issues.

This document has been sub-mitted, reviewed and approvedby the City Commission onAugust 9, 2012, printed underlegal notices in the FloridaKeys Keynoter newspaper inthe August 11, 2012 issue andposted on City Hall and PostOffice bulletin boards.

The public/reader may obtaincopies of this annual reportand original LMS documents atcity hall during regular workinghours.

There are seven damagereduction activities listed in theLMS 2005 Revision for the Cityof Key Colony Beach underSection 10.4 on page 10-10.

This section of the report willbriefly address each for theyear July 1st 2011 throughJune 30, 2012.

1. The Comprehensive Planobjectives and policies havebeen followed and the city hasgranted NO land use amend-ments that would increase theland use density and intensitythat would have further bur-dened the countywide hurri-cane evacuation plan.

2. There were NO City expen-ditures for infrastructure in theV-zone that would encourageincreased private develop-ment.

3. The City of Key ColonyBeach Disaster PreparednessCommittee, composed of resi-dents and City representatives,coordinates with the County onemergency management activ-ities such as planning, re-sponse, recovery, and mitiga-tion. It provides its own publicinformation program, disastercommand center, and emer-gency supplies. We had acountywide hurricane drill inJune, and monthly HurricanePreparedness Meetings.

4. Post-disaster redevelop-ment is addressed in theCoastal Management Element

gof the Comprehensive Plan,recognizing that redevelop-ment may require greaterbuilding setbacks and eleva-tions, and installation of dunesrather than seawalls. Therewas no post-disaster redevel-opment.

5. The Building Code requiresbuildings to be designed towithstand the forces of 180mph winds (assumed in any di-rection and without regard tothe effects of shielding of otherstructures). In addition all newconstruction, additions and al-terations require:

a. double hurricane strapsover top member of each rooftruss endb. new 3/4"CDX Plywood roofsheathing minimumc. 75% of all exterior wallsmust be reinforced concreteand reinforced masonry

This year these rules andothers were enforced and veri-fied on 343 building permits in-cluding 2 new dwelling units.

6. Post disaster assessmentsare required by the BuildingDepartment to determinewhether demolition versus re-pairs are appropriate given thelevel of damage; buildingsdamaged more than 50% mustbe rebuilt to current codes.There were no disasters.

7. The Land DevelopmentCode requires that all existingmangroves be maintained tostate requirements; use ofseawalls is restricted; newoceanfront development shallinclude dune planting plans.Mangroves have been trim-med, no new seawalls havebeen installed and new dunesand plantings have been instal-led along an oceanfront prop-erty.

All objectives have been im-proved upon and further miti-gation will be accomplishedwhen funding is available forour small city. Grants are con-stantly sought.

Recent Projects

1. The City has constructed anew reinforced concrete cau-seway bridge to improve itsability to withstand stormsurge.

2. The City has its own sew-age collection and treatmentsystem, which is operated bythe Wastewater TreatmentPlant Operator. The sewagetreatment plant is subject tostorm surge flooding but hasbeen recently retrofitted andoperating at 2012 require-ments. A generating systemhas been added for emergencyoperation and 30% of our efflu-ent is converted to irrigationthrough our reverse osmosisand storage system. With theremainder deposited in deepinjection wells. All lift stationsand lines are continually beingretrofitted and monitored for in-filtration.

3. The entire City Hall/PostOffice complex has beenretrofitted and flood proofed tocurrent requirements.

4. Several properties werepurchased by the City and con-verted to open space.

5. The City’s master stormwater control project includesswales, retention ponds, anddeep injection wells whichwere designed, installed andmonitored by the South FloridaWater Management District, FLDepartment of EnvironmentalProtection, and the U. S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency.As of this date, the citywideproject is approximately 70%complete. The City just com-pleted phase VI on SadowskiCauseway through 11th Street.

6. The entire 3/4 mile of ourmain entry road, SadowskiCauseway, had all of its utilit-ies transferred from overheadto under ground and has beenresurfaced.

Future projects include the100% completion of ourstormwater project, wastewaterimprovements, addition re-verse osmosis irrigation, build-ing mitigation and the pur-chase of additional open spacewhen available.

Please see attached docu-ments showing City Commis-sion Report Approval, copy ofnewspaper legal notice, copyof posting and affirmation bymyself, the Building Official,that I personally sat with theLMS Group since its inceptionand personally prepared thisdocument as required.

Please do not hesitate to con-tact this office if any questionsshould arise.
