Weekend brings thousandsThe Memorial Day week-
end of 2014 held true toFlorida Keys tradition:Traffic delays on U.S. 1 (onecaused by a fatality), thou-sands of boats off FloridaKeys shores and no-vacancysigns brightly lit.
“The traffic, at times, washorrendous,” said DeputyBecky Herrin of the MonroeCounty Sheriff’s Office. “Wetold everybody to expect it andthat’s the way it happened.”
Law enforcement agen-cies were called to a handfulof serious incidents, includ-ing the car crash that killed aTennessee woman on WestSummerland Key.
Virginia Gilbert, 70 ofChattanooga died in the head-on crash near the Boy Scoutcamp at mile marker 34.
A 2013 Chevrolet Cruzedriven by CynthiaVanderwilt, 56, of St. John inNorth Florida was headed
north on U.S. 1 about 12:25p.m. Sunday when it sudden-ly veered into the southboundlane and into Gilbert’soncoming Toyota Sienna.Florida Highway Patrol Lt.Kathleen McKinney said it’s“unknown” why Vanderwilt
crossed the center line.Gilbert was taken to
Fishermen’s CommunityHospital but died of herinjuries.
A passenger in Gilbert’scar, Rebecca Gilbert, 35, ofChattanooga also was taken toFishermen’s, in serious condi-tion. Vanderwilt was taken toMiami’s Ryder Trauma Centerwith serious injuries. Their
conditions were not availableat press time.
Charges are pending addi-tional investigation, McKinneysaid. Alcohol is not considereda factor. U.S. 1 was blocked forabout three hours.

Private pilots:Agents go too far
The young pilot fromMiami was trying to impressa woman with a lunch trip toKey West.
The 45-minute flight wasjust long enough to take inthe scenery, but not so longthat Aron Banks had toworry about lulls in thesmall talk. In the air, the 23-year-old explained how hisplane’s avionic systemworks. He pointed to theblue and turquoise waters.His date admired the shapesof the rip currents.
Everything was great untilthey landed in Marathon.That’s when, Banks said, fed-eral agents with body armorand assault rifles surroundedhim and his plane.
The agents with U.S.Customs and BorderProtection asked for his per-mits. They asked him why hewas flying from Opa-Locka toMonroe County. They pressedhim to search the plane. Banksrefused, but he said the agentsdidn’t take no for an answer.Banks said an agent repeatedthe question again whilesqueezing his gun and inchingit out of his holster.
“I’m like, ‘You know bro,I’m not authorizing anything,but you do what you need todo.’ And then he startssearching the airplane.”
The agents found no drugsor weapons, Banks said.They did find $700 in cash,
which Banks says he keepsfor emergencies.
After about an hour and ahalf, the agents said Bankscould go, he recalled. Theytold him they were just doingtheir job trying to keep every-one safe. But Banks still feltlike a drug runner. He figuredhis date felt that way abouthim, too.
U.S. Customs and BorderProtection officials say search-es of general aviation aircraftare a critical part of the fightagainst drugs and terror.
On May 19, the agency’sOffice of Air and Marinedenied Banks’ version ofevents. The encounter, whichcustoms officials said lasted20 minutes, was because ofan error on the flight plan.The search was allowed, andthe agency said in responseto McClatchy’s questionsthat there were only threefederal agents and that noweapons were ever drawn orused to intimidate.
Banks is far from alone inaccusing border officials ofexcessive shows of power.
Many leisure and businesspilots across the country saytoo many private citizens havebeen caught up in what theyargue are warrantless searchesthat can be emotionally scar-ring — and possibly illegal.

Keys high in boat accidents
Florida Keys waters havefinally surrendered the dubi-ous title of the state’s mostdangerous place to go boat-ing, but only because Miami-Dade County became morehazardous.
However, MonroeCounty still stands secondamong Florida’s 67 countiesin terms of boating mayhemwith 100 significant vessel
accidents in 2013, accordingto the state’s annual BoatingAccident Statistical Report,released Friday by theFlorida Fish and WildlifeConservation Commission.
Monroe County also had100 reported boating acci-dents in 2012.
The report focuses onreported accidents involvingdeath, injury or damagesexceeding $2,000.
In 2013, Miami-DadeCounty, for the first time inmany years, exceeded theKeys as the most dangerouscounty with 104 accidents, asizable jump of 28 percentfrom 2012.
The Keys recorded fiveboating-related deaths in 2013,
the same number as in 2012,and a state-high 56 injuries,according to the report.
Only Pinellas County,with eight boating-relatedfatalities, had more deaths.Miami-Dade reported four2013 boating deaths. Dive orsnorkeling deaths are notclassified as boating-related.
Statewide, the number ofreportable boating accidentsincreased to 736 in 2013, upfrom 704 the year before.
There were 62 boatingdeaths, an increase of sevenfrom 2012. However, the 62is still the third-lowest totalin the past decade; there were80 boating deaths in 2005.
Nearly three-quarters ofthe boating deaths were
attributed to drowning.“There’s an easy fix.
Wear a life jacket,” said Lt. Seth Wagner, an FWCsafety specialist.
The most common causeof Monroe County boatingaccidents, in 20 investiga-tions, was “operator inexperi-ence.” Other common causeswere failing to keep a lookout(13 accidents), operator inat-tention (12), carelessness(nine) and speeding (eight).
In the Keys, hitting afixed object or another boataccounted for 44 accidents.

Doyle: No chikungunya fearhere in the Florida Keys
Despite its close proximi-ty, Florida Keys MosquitoControl District DirectorMichael Doyle says it’sunlikely that an ongoingCaribbean outbreak of mos-quito-borne virus chikungun-ya would impact the Keys.
“A disease like this, youhave to have all the ingredi-ents in the right conditions tohave an epidemic,” he said.
That includes “lots ofpeople outside most of thetime; lots of infected peoplearriving and lots of adultmosquitoes flying around.”
Chikungunya has “spreadlike wildfire” in severalsmall Caribbean nations,which are typically light onpreventative mosquito con-trol. Symptoms includefever and severe joint pain.
Doyle said chikungunyais transmitted to humans by
infected Aedes aegypti andAsian tiger mosquitoes, bothof which have been largelyeradicated in the Keys. TheAedes aegypti caused minoroutbreaks of dengue fever,which has symptoms similarto chikungunya, in OldTown Key West in 2009.
“Every once in a whilewe find one, but they’re cer-tainly not widespread,”Doyle said of the Asian tiger.“On a lot of these Caribbeanislands, they’re rampant.”
“We do a lot of preventa-tive [mosquito control] here.We have higher risk becauseour temperatures are warmall the time and we have alot of people coming in fromall over the place, but it’slower because of our mos-quito control program andwe don’t have the AsianTiger mosquito,” he said.
Doyle added that “ournormal mosquito program is
better than the emergencyresponse pretty much any-where else in the WesternHemisphere.” It includesdoor-to-door inspections andaerial spraying not doneelsewhere.
“We’re better able to han-dle it than anywhere,” he said.
Dengue fever hasn’t pre-sented itself in the Keyssince 2010, but it’s commonin the Caribbean. In theCaribbean, chikungunya hasspread rapidly.
“In December there wasone case in the Caribbean.By this week there were55,000 cases,” he said.
On May 22, the PalmBeach Post reported a fourthconfirmed case of chikun-gunya in a 66-year-old manthere who recently traveledto the Caribbean. Othercases have been reported inMiami-Dade, Broward andHills borough counties.

Feds would pay toprotect panthers
Federal wildlife officialswant to pay Floridalandowners to maintain theirproperty as habitat forendangered panthers.
Under a pilot programannounced Thursday by theU.S. Fish and WildlifeService, the governmentwould spend $500,000 ayear to pay landowners topreserve about 26,000 acresfor about 10 years.
Kevin Godsea of theFlorida Panther NationalWildlife Refuge tells sayssome states have tried simi-lar programs, but this is thefirst attempted by the federalgovernment.
State and federal officialshave been holding closed-door meetings for monthsabout panther conservationefforts. They say that underthe pilot program, landown-ers would have to followcertain land-managementpractices and allow annualfederal inspections.
Florida panthers onceroamed the Southeast, butnow they’re confined to thestate’s southern tip.

Florida City. As northboundvisitors left Monday, aseries of relatively minoraccidents caused slow-downs between Marathonand Islamorada.
In contrast to previousholiday weekends, only eightpeople were charged withoperating a vehicle whileunder the influence — andfour of them were boaters.
The Sandbar anchoringspot at Whale HarborChannel in Islamoradadrew “hundreds of boats,too many to count,” saidOfficer Bobby Dube of theFlorida Fish and WildlifeConservation Commission.
Three boat operatorsnear the Sandbar werearrested for boating underthe influence. “One of themwas stopped because theboat was overloaded, andanother was traveling onplane through a no-motorzone,” Dube said.
Crowds at the Sandbarwere “manageable,” Dubesaid, “probably because [theFWC] and our law-enforce-ment partners had a signifi-cant presence out there.”
Around 7 p.m. Sunday, abrawl in Sandbar waters sentDavid Deliere, 30, of KeyLargo to Mariners Hospitalwith facial injuries. Delieretold Sheriff’s Office DeputyMichael Claudy that anotherboat near his boat started itsengine, throwing a spray ofwater onto Deliere’s boat.An argument followed.
Deliere’s wife wasstruck in the face, and thefight escalated to involve “anumber of people.” Delierewas knocked unconsciouswhile in the water. He wastaken to shore, but suffered“two black eyes, a brokennose, cuts and a brokenbone in his face.”
Officers are seekingother people who took partin the melee.
Brawl breaks outat the SandbarFrom Weekend, 1A
Coors Light.Sardina and longtime best
friend Kelsey Wonderlin,also a Marathon native, trav-eled to a Gainesville-areaquarry on April 15 to shootthe winning stunt.
Jumping was easiersaid than done, as evi-denced by the YouTubevideo Sardina posted afterher plunge into water.
“I knew the placebecause my friends had beenthere, but it was the firsttime I had ever been there,”she said. “I was afraid that ifI stepped off wrong and did-n’t jump far enough, youcould hit the rocks.”
She eventually workedup the nerve — she firstsays “do it for free beer,right?” Then she shouts“for free Coors Light beer”as she gets a running startto jump.
A few weeks later, CoorsLight obtained Wonderlin’scontact information fromSardina under the pretenseit would be to verify her ageand contest entry.
“Really what happenedwhen they called me threeor four weeks ago, theyasked me about her inter-ests and ideas for how tosurprise her,” Wonderlinsaid. “She and I go kayak-ing a lot, so that was thereason we chose that.”
So the pair took off onSunday out of the CranePoint Hammock subdivi-sion for a typical trip thatturned out to be anythingbut that. They mountedGoPro cameras on thekayaks that Wonderlin toldher belonged to visitingcollege friends that wanted
to test them out.“She did say, ‘This thing
is kind of right on me.’ Isaid it’s fine because wealways said since highschool that we wish wecould have someone followus around and capture thosespontaneous moments. Shejust went with it,”Wonderlin said.
At some point duringthe trip, they noticed adive flag and pair ofscuba divers.
“I saw bubbles in thewater. As we passed overthe top, I saw them andwas trying to move out ofthe way. They [surfacedand handed] me the paper[saying I’d won] and all ofa sudden there were 24floating beers around me,”Sardina said. The diverswere contracted by Coors.
Sardina’s friends andfamily, including severalfrom Gainesville, werewaiting at the kayak launchwhen the pair returned.
“There were a bunch ofpeople from town that cameto visit me and it was a littleparty and they made it feelso eventful. I was so sur-prised and it was really funto have a random event bringa bunch of old friends andfamily together,” she said.
Sardina said she wouldreceive six cases of CoorsLight every three monthsby mail for the next year.She’s a telecommunica-tions and marketing majorat UF and heading toSpain to study abroad forthe summer.
“I’m going to have cab-inets full of beers, I guess,”she joked. “I kind ofalways like Coors, but Ilike it a lot better now.”

Man shot inhome invasion
A Grassy Key man wasshot in the leg during whatthe Monroe County Sheriff’sOffice says was “an apparenthome-invasion robbery”early Tuesday morning.
According to the Sheriff’sOffice, Deputy Tyler Blantonarrived at the house, at milemarker 58, at 1:30 a.m. andfound 39-year-old RobertMoir outside.
Moir was reportedlybleeding from a gunshotwound on his leg,” and toldpolice that three people had“just left the scene north-bound driving a gold-col-ored sedan.”
The Sheriff’s Office saidMoir explained he heard aknock on his door about1:15 a.m., answered it andhad “three men wearingbandanas over their facesburst in yelling at him to geton the ground.”
Moir told police hestruggled with one of theintruders, who was armedwith a handgun, when thegun went off, injuring hisleg. He told Blanton he thengot up, ran out the frontdoor yelling for help andheard two more gunshots.
Police say a bullet holewas found in a storage trail-er in a neighbor’s yard.
Moir’s roommate,Serguei Koudriavtsev, wasat the house when it hap-pened and told police hewas sleeping when he heardnoise from the struggle.
Koudriavtsev told policehe “reached for his cellphone to call for help, butone of the suspects cameinto his room and took hisphone from him, warninghim, ‘Don’t wake up or I’llkill you.’ “
Police say Moir wastreated by paramedics butrefused to go to the hospital.
Detective Bobby Burkett,who’s leading the investiga-tion, said the suspects appearto have taken only medica-tions prescribed to Moir.

GRASSY KEY
A dog park in Jacksonville,a fountain in Palm Beach andmoney to help people get tothe planned 1,000-foot-tallSkyRise Miami were among$121 million in budget proj-ects that Florida TaxWatchsays Gov. Rick Scott needs tostrike with his line-item veto.
In releasing its annual listof budget “turkeys” Friday,TaxWatch officials urgedScott to veto 107 projectsfrom a 431-page, $77.1 billionfiscal plan that lawmakersapproved early this month.
None of the 107 so-calledturkey projects are fromMonroe County.
The TaxWatch listincludes one project, con-struction of a performing artscenter at Pasco-Hernando
State College worth $10 mil-lion, from House SpeakerWill Weatherford’s district.
Another 10 projects, at acombined cost of nearly $6million, are recommended tobe slashed from the countiesfully or partially included inthe Panhandle district ofSenate President Don Gaetz.
Gaetz, a NicevilleRepublican, offered a sharprebuke to the list.
“Florida TaxWatch hasonce again shown,” Gaetzsaid in a release, “that it ispossible to be absent all yearlong from any engagement inthe budget process, do noresearch into the merits ofany appropriation, utter notone word of testimony on anyproposal or alternative andstill convince well-meaningpeople to donate hundreds ofthousands of dollars to keep awell-paid staff employed toabsolutely no positive effectother than to get mentioned inone news cycle.”
Scott has until June 4 toact on the budget, which will
take effect July 1.Kurt Wenner, TaxWatch’s
vice president for tax research,said the projects on the listaren’t being questioned ontheir merits, but rather for fail-ing to go through the normalbudget process.
The business-backedorganization uses two maincriteria to select turkeys:First, whether the projectwas inserted into the budgetduring the final negotiationsbetween the House and theSenate; and second, whetherthe spending was requestedby a state agency.
That’s why, Wenner said,a $12 million crane at PortTampa Bay is on the list,but none of the $171.9 mil-lion allocated for projectsrelated to the Evergladesand the Indian RiverLagoon got targeted.
The Everglades andIndian River Lagoon proj-ects are backed by SenateAppropriations Chairmanand past TaxWatch critic JoeNegron (R-Stuart).

reasonable suspicion thatillegal activity has occurredor is about to occur,” saidKen Mead, general counselfor the Aircraft Owners andPilots Association.
It can also be a financialhardship.
Professional pilot DeanHoliday lost about $1,600 amonth in income when hestopped flying one of his bestclients after more than a half-dozen officers, guns pulled,stopped them in Marana,Ariz. He didn’t want torepeat the experience, think-ing his client was likelyinvolved in shady dealingseven though nothing wasfound on the plane.
Arturo Caballero has beenstopped by agents twice afterflying with his wife, son andpet chihuahua. On one fami-ly trip home to Bay City,Texas, Caballero was sepa-rated from his wife and son,who at the time was a studentat the U.S. Naval Academyin Annapolis, Md., for ques-tioning while agentssearched the plane.
“Seems to me they’re justthrowing a big, huge net intothe sky in hopes of catchingsomething,” Caballero said.“What? They don’t know. Butsomething will come up.”
The pilots’ association,which represents more than350,000 pilots and planeowners, says it has collectedmore than 50 cases in whichmembers — despite nevercrossing a U.S. border —were searched by U.S.Customs and BorderProtection agents or locallaw enforcement “withoutprobable cause or reasonablesuspicion of illegal activity.”
Feds take a lookThe association met last
month with Border Patrolofficials in Washington todiscuss pilots’ concerns.U.S. Customs and BorderProtection Commissioner R.Gil Kerlikowske assuredthem the agency would con-duct a comprehensivereview of the searches, theassociation said.
None of the flights inwhich planes were searchedcrossed any borders, Meadsaid. He said that much likedrivers on the nationís high-ways, pilots should not haveto worry about having gun-toting agents tapping on theirplane windows asking tosearch their plane.
The complaints that bor-der agents are conductingegregious and intimidatingsearches of U.S. citizen pilotsand plane owners come at atime when the U.S. Customsand Border Protection agencyis under increased scrutiny.Democratic Rep. BetoO’Rourke of Texas andRepublican Rep. StevePearce of New Mexico intro-duced legislation in March
that would impose more lev-els of oversight and accounta-bility on U.S. Customs andBorder Protection.
Responsibility for detect-ing and identifying potentialair threats of domesticallyflown general aviation air-craft falls under the U.S.Customs and BorderProtection’s Air and MarineOperations Center.
General aviation aircraftis a popular means of trans-porting drugs across thecountry. Customs and borderagents have seized 1,600pounds of marijuana and 72pounds of cocaine over thepast two years, according toan agency report.
The attacks of Sept. 11,2001, have heightenedawareness of how planes canbe used as weapons.
On Feb. 18, 2010, thepilot of a small plane inten-tionally crashed into theInternal Revenue Serviceoffice in Austin, Texas,killing the pilot, an IRSemployee and injuring 13others. On Jan. 5, 2002, thepilot of a Cessna 172 inten-tionally flew into a Tampabuilding, killing himself.
Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.),has sought more informationfrom border protection offi-cials about the encounterswith general aviation aircraft.
In response to the senator’sconcerns, Kerlikowske wrotelast month that any actiontaken is predicated on the“totality of the circumstances”amounting to reasonable sus-picion or probable cause. Hepointed out that federal lawallows agents to inspect apilot’s operating license andrelated documents withoutany level of suspicion.
“That is not to say theCBP exercises these authori-ties unrestrained or withoutconsiderations for the rightsof citizens,” he wrote in aresponse letter.
Cases ‘limitedKerlikowske said encoun-
ters are very limited. Of thehundreds of thousands offlights last year, federalagents tracked 428 generalaviation aircraft, according toU.S. Customs and BorderProtection. Law enforcementapproached 38 of thoseplanes, of which 17 resultedin violations, including 12seizures of drugs, weapons ormoney, Kerlikowske wrote.
Agents monitor domesticflights for odd flight patternsand questionable practices,Kerlikowske wrote. Theymay make contact with apilot based on ìan abnormalflight profileî or a tip fromother law enforcement ofpossible criminal activity.
Those caught in the feder-al net say the experience can
be harrowing.Tom Lewis and his wife,
Bonnie, planned to fly to NewHampshire this week for theirannual trip to see their grand-children. Itís an infamous tripin their family after what hap-pened two years ago.
Lewis, 66, and his wife flyout of Granbury, Texas, nearFort Worth. They usually stoptwice along the way to use abathroom. They typicallyhave dinner and spend thenight in Frankfort, Ky. Uponlanding in Kentucky, Lewisplanned to be looking behindhim to see whether his planeis again being closely fol-lowed by a federal jet.
That’s what happened twoyears ago. The jet, withoutany announcement, swoopedin behind them on the ground.Three men and one womandressed in border patrol uni-
forms and armed with M-16squickly approached them.They asked for papers. Theyquestioned the couple abouttheir trip and looked aroundtheir plane.
The experience was notas bad as other pilotsí expe-riences, Lewis said, but itwas unsettling.
“I know they need to dothat when they’re after thebad guys,” he said. “It’sexcessive to stop Grandmaand Grandpa on their visit tosee the grandkids.”
In the Florida Keys case,Banks said he also knowsthat the agents are simplydoing their job. He’s gladthey’re there to make it saferfor him and others to fly theirplanes. But he said it waswrong for federal agents touse their firearms to assertauthority, intimidate and
coerce him into doing thingshe didn’t want to do.
“It’s not right,” Banks said.The experience also
might have wrecked hischances with the woman,who was also shaken up bythe experience, Banks said.He said she now prefers toremain just friends. “She’slike, ‘Who am I flying with?’ ” Banks said. “It was afirst date. Thanks for screw-ing it up, guys.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Tackle underage drinkingHow many of us know someone
whose life has been altered by alcohol?Whether it’s a DUI, a car accident orthe tragic death of a teen, we who livein Monroe County, with the highestdrunk-driving rate in the state, glimpsethe consequences of alcohol each day.
Monroe County’s DUI Rate is 7.1percent over the state rate. How do youchange that statistic? Prohibition is notthe answer, but we do need to educateour youth and reevaluate our culture ofalcohol consumption.
An underage person growing up in theKeys hears one thing but sees another.Our culture thrives on an economy of theDuval Crawl and drink ‘til you drop. Werarely have events in the Keys that don’trevolve around drinking. So what is thereal message we’re sending our kids?
Change the lifestyle of the FloridaKeys? No, that isn’t possible. Butmaybe we could change the popularattitude that it’s OK for underage kidsto drink and, even worse, then drive.Teens that start drinking before age 15are five times more likely to developalcohol dependence or abuse later inlife than those who begin drinking at or
after the legal age of 21.Adults set the standard for responsi-
ble drinking. It’s more than the parents’responsibility to set the example; it’sultimately the village, i.e., the surround-ing community and cultural attitudethat helps us decide what’s acceptable.
A community conversation aboutalcohol use and our youth is happen-ing tonight at St. Peter CatholicChurch on Big Pine Key. OnThursday, the program moves to KeyWest at the Harvey GovernmentCenter. Both start at 6 p.m.
A panel discussion followed by anaudience question-and-answer sessionwill provide the experience of coun-selors who do prevention in theschools, law enforcement officials,medical and health professionals and,hopefully, students of all ages.
If you’re the parent of a teen or pre-teen, come share your challenges.Hear what the experts are saying.Bring your child. Know why youshould not provide alcohol for yourunderage kids and their friends, evenif it’s a party at your house. Learnabout other ways to be the cool parentthat won’t put the kids at risk.
If you’re a teen, come speak yourpiece. Help find answers and alterna-tives for underage drinking and thenegative consequences. Share your sto-ries and experiences to help those whowill follow you.
Let’s begin the conversation aboutunderage drinking so realistic solutionscan be found.

Angels aboundAngels are around us every day.On May 5, while at the post office, I
became suddenly ill. While screamingfor help, my cries were heard and thehands of an angel lowered me to theground while I was semi-unconscious.I wish I knew who the person was sothat I can thank that person personally.
To everyone who aided me, I saythank you from the bottom of my heart.I’m grateful for the help and hope I canreciprocate some day.

Floodproofing helpsIs your business floodproofed? New
insurance requirements are now in effect.Annual recertification of your
floodproofing measures is required forflood insurance renewal. It requiresspecific documentation and plans relat-ed to the original installation. In manyinstances, the documentation you nowpossess isn’t adequate.
Absent this paperwork, the stickershock at renewal time will likely bedrastic. Without this new documenta-tion, your new rate will be as if you hadno floodproofing at all.
The renewal bill for one flood-proofed business, a tourist attraction,went from $3,000 to $16,000 becausethe newly required documentation was-n’t ready. Another business, a cornergrocery store, saw its bill jump from$2,400 to $11,000.
Gathering the proper documentationmay take three to six months, and theFederal Emergency ManagementAgency wants this information 90 daysbefore the renewal date. If you haven’talready contacted your flood insuranceagent, you should do so right away.

Getting bang for your buck?With water bordering three sides of
the state and hundreds of inland lakesand rivers, flooding poses a serious andfrequent threat to Floridians. Recentflooding from late April storms left partsof Escambia County in the Panhandlestill flooded weeks later. Unfortunately,some residents there did not have floodinsurance to cover their losses.
Did you know that your homeown-ers or business insurance policy likelydoes not cover damage from a flood?Most policies do not, which is why youshould consider purchasing a separateflood insurance policy as we enter thehurricane season on June 1. Start byreviewing your existing policy withyour insurance agent to make sure it isadequate for your current needs.
Flood coverage is offered as a stand-alone policy or as an endorsement ontoa homeowners policy. It is primarilyadministered through the NationalFlood Insurance Program. There areprivate companies writing coverage, as
well, some at less expensive rates. Ifyou already have national flood insur-ance, ask your agent if changing to pri-vate insurance could result in losing asubsidized rate should you return to thefederal program in the future.
Also, consider the deductible andmake sure it is right for you. A lowerdeductible raises the policy’s priceand vice-versa. Recent changes instate law are encouraging privatecompanies to write flood insurance, soit pays to shop around.
Be aware that purchasing a floodinsurance policy normally requires a30-day waiting period before cover-age becomes effective. So act now,before hurricanes threaten, when itwill be too late.
While speaking with your insuranceagent, find out if your policy providesreplacement cost coverage for losses,or actual cash value — there is a dis-tinct difference. Ask if you are receiv-ing all of the windstorm mitigation
credits you deserve. A new roof, stormshutters or impact-resistant glass cansave you money on your policy.
Now is also a good time to completean inventory of your valuable posses-sions. This will help make filing aninsurance claim easier and is also a use-ful tool to evaluate your coverage needs.
The Florida Office of InsuranceRegulation website (www.floir.com)has a hurricane-season resources linkthat contains valuable information forboth the National Flood InsuranceProgram and private companies offer-ing flood insurance.
You and your family’s personalsafety are the most important objec-tives when facing a natural disaster.Make time to ensure your home andloved ones are protected and equippedto handle an emergency situation thishurricane season.

As dust settles on the 2014 Florida Legislative Session,the verdict seems to be: Well, it could have been worse.
Compared to recent years, which saw a nearlyunprecedented assault on the rights of state workers,poor people, women, doctors and voters, this sessionseemed downright tame.
Whether humbled by court defeats striking downlaws they enacted or by recognition that erodingFloridians’ Constitutional rights isn’t good election-year politics, this year the Legislature seems to havetaken on a different tone.
That’s not to say it was all good. “Do no harm” is notenough when there are urgent problems that need correc-tion and opportunities to make things better. Unfortunately,the Legislature let many of those opportunities slip by.
The most discussed missed opportunity — a deliberate-ly ignored opportunity, really — was the refusal to evenconsider any strategy, including using federal funds toexpand Medicaid, to provide affordable access to the basichealth-care insurance that many of us take for granted.
But there were many missed opportunities to direct-ly address pressing civil liberties problems, includingbills that would have reformed Florida’s broken juve-nile-justice system. For too long, leaders in our citiesand schools have relied on criminal-justice solutions asa response to the behavioral problems of children.These “solutions” have funneled young people out ofclassrooms and into jail cells.
But young people aren’t adults, and caging them forbehavior problems as if they are denies them futureopportunities and increases the likelihood they’ll offendagain. Sometimes looking at the criminal-justice systemfor a solution only makes a problem worse.
During the legislative session, lawmakers had anopportunity to make it easier for all Floridians to regis-ter to vote and participate in our democracy. But a billthat would have brought Florida into the 21st Centuryby joining other states that allow online voter registra-tion went nowhere because legislative leaders decidednot to tackle reform.
And speaking of bringing Florida into the 21stCentury, a bill that would have provided basic civil-rights protection in employment, education and housingby prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual ori-entation and gender identity or expression never got ahearing. That bill was sponsored by state Rep. HollyRaschein, Republican from Key Largo.
Legislators should have passed the bill ensuring thatall Florida drivers, including immigrant students whoneed to drive to college classes or adults who need toget to work to provide for their families, can obtain adriver’s license. This year, like with so many otheropportunities, the bill was not even considered.
If legislators are returning to their districts trying tomake the case that the Legislature has turned over a newleaf, they’ll have to address the many missed opportu-nities to protect Floridians’ individual liberties whilethey were in Tallahassee.

Trees causing problems
An effort to keep FloridaKeys canals clear for boattraffic could mean someproperty owners could get atree-trimming bill fromMonroe County.
Monroe County commis-sioners gave GrowthManagement staff approvalto prepare an “overgrown-vegetation program” thatwould allow intrusive treelimbs to be removed by con-tractors.
Michael Maurer toldcommissioners, meetingMay 21 in Key Largo, thatthe Big Pine Key canalbehind his Cedar Lane homehas become nearly impassa-ble because of untrimmed
trees.“It’s now nearly three-
quarters of the way across,and a boat lift on the otherside creates another obsta-cle,” Maurer said. “Growthwill continue and stop navi-gation on this canal.”
Boat collisions alsocould result, causing “dam-age, injury or death from thelack of action,” he added.
Growth Management
Director Christine Hurleysaid the same “problematic”situation can be found indozens of canals “scatteredthroughout the Keys.”
Property owners arelegally required to keeptrees on their property fromblocking canals, but absen-tee owners can be difficultto reach. In some cases,biologists must be consult-ed.
“We’re very frustratedbecause [unchecked treegrowth] continues,” Hurleysaid. “It’s a really bigissue.”
Commissioners unani-mously approved action toformulate a streamlined sys-tem that could get canalscleared more swiftly, withresponsible owners facingcleaning bills, fines or prop-erty liens.
The same program alsocould be used to controlvegetation spreading onto aneighboring dry-lot proper-ty, commissioners said.

COUNTY COMMISSION
Key Largo needs cleanup
Key Largo’s U.S. 1 corri-dor has become clutteredand disorderly, a local citi-zens group says, andMonroe County commis-sioners agree.
Commissioners, meetingMay 21 in Key Largo, urgedcounty Code Compliancestaff to do what it can toeliminate unpermitted signsand other visual blights.
“There are just too manysigns,” said Kay Thacker ofthe Island of Key LargoFederation of HomeownersAssociations. “Visitors saythey can’t find their wayaround.... It’s time to clean[Key Largo] up and showher off.”
Growth Management
Director Christine Hurleysaid the three code officersassigned to the unincorporat-ed areas of the Upper Keyswill be asked to pay attentionto the highway frontage.
However, safety issuescome first, and identifyingillegal signs requires time-
consuming research intocounty records, she said.
“It’s a matter of what theboard wants us to priori-tize,” Hurley said. “It’s allabout resources and whereyou want us to put them.”
She said about half thebusiness owners who put upan unallowed sign or banner
will take it down once alert-ed that it is illegal.
Ongoing highway andsewer construction, coupledwith the economic slow-down, seemed to create asense of leniency for ban-ners and roadside signs, res-idents said.
Hurley said the countycan act quickly to get busi-nesses to take out A-framesigns placed in the state orcounty right of way.
Craig Cope, chief execu-tive of the Key LargoChamber of Commerce, saidthe business group supportsthe goal of “cleaning up KeyLargo” but wants warningsbefore citations.
He said the county shouldbe ready to speed permittingfor allowed signage. “If youmake [business owners] waita year or two for a permit,they could be out of busi-ness,” Cope said.
“Lots of other placesneed this kind of attention,”said Commissioner HeatherCarruthers.

Carnival Corp., whoseships make regular port callsto Key West, will announceThursday that it is expandinga clean-air program itannounced last year, morethan doubling the number ofships that will have exhaustcleaning systems installed —at roughly double the price.
That means the Doral-based cruise giant will placethe “scrubber” technology ithas been developing on atleast 70 ships at a cost of upto $400 million. The dual fil-tration and scrubbing sys-tems are expected to beinstalled on ships in six of theparent company’s brandsover the next three years.
“We’re now far enoughalong in the research anddevelopment and we have afew of the initial scrubbersinstalled,” said Tom Dow,Carnival’s vice president ofpublic affairs. “It’s given usenough confidence to say wewant to roll this out evenmore broadly.”
In September, Carnivalsaid it would spend morethan $180 million on newtechnology that would cleanfuel exhaust on 32 of its shipsin order to meet air-pollutionstandards for waters offNorth American coasts goinginto effect in 2015.
The U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency said lastyear it would allow Carnivalto burn standard fuel at sea —rather than a more expensiveversion with less sulfur —while testing the equipment.
Already, the parent com-pany has announced that
namesake brand CarnivalCruise Lines will bring shipsback to Baltimore andNorfolk — home ports it hadpreviously said it wouldleave because of the high costof cleaner fuel — next year.
The original announce-ment covered ships in theCarnival Cruise Lines,Holland America Line,Princess Cruises and Cunardbrands; the latest newsincludes more ships fromthose brands as well as AIDACruises and Costa Cruises.
International MaritimeOrganization requirements
will limit large oceangoingships to fuel that contains amaximum of 0.1 percent sulfurin zones that extend up to 200miles from North Americanshores by 2015.
Carnival said its technolo-gy will also satisfy global stan-dards expected to limit fuel to0.5 percent sulfur by 2020.
“This is a key step forwardfor Carnival Corporation andits 10 brands ñ and mostimportantly for the environ-ment,” said Carnival Corp.CEO Arnold Donald. “Webelieve Carnival Corp.’sinvestment in this industry-leading technology will set anew course in environmentalprotection and cleaner air foryears to come.”
Dow said that as 2020approaches, the company willlikely outfit even more of itsships with the technology.
“We know that this willgive us maximum flexibility,”he said. “Flexibility is an assetto our industry so that we candeploy ships where the marketdemand is the greatest.”
If you go to work for anewer business, there’s a goodchance you’ll be working for awoman: Women are startingcompanies at a torrid pace.
Between 1997 and 2014,the number of women-ownedbusinesses in the U.S. rose by68 percent, twice the growthrate for men and nearly oneand a-half times the rate forall companies, according toan American Express analysisof U.S. Census Bureau fig-ures. They are starting an esti-mated 1,288 companies eachday, up from 602 in 2011-12,American Express says.
“Women are becomingmore aware of the opportuni-ties for entrepreneurship intheir lives. It’s becoming moreof an option for a career movethan it ever has been in thepast,” says Susan Duffy, exec-utive director of the Center forWomen’s EntrepreneurialLeadership at Babson Collegein Massachusetts.
The number of new busi-nesses started by women andmen has increased in partbecause of the difficult jobmarket since the recession.But the numbers of womenbusiness owners will keeprising as interest in entrepre-neurship grows and youngerwomen look to famouswomen as their role models,Duffy says.
Some of those inspirations:Oprah Winfrey, designers ToryBurch and Diane VonFurstenberg and Weili Dai, co-founder of chip maker MarvellTechnology. The current headof the Small BusinessAdministration, MariaContreras-Sweet, and herpredecessor, Karen Mills, haveboth been business owners.
“More women are seeingthemselves out there in theirheroes in the business world.They’re saying this is fabu-lous, I want to be like her,”Duffy says.
Their role models alsoinclude less prominent suc-cessful women in business.
One of SummerScarbrough’s inspirations hasbeen her mother, Elizabeth, aformer executive with a med-ical devices company. TheScarbroughs own VinniBag,a seller of travel bags for
wine and other bottles.“I knew from a very
young age that she was oneof the only women in hercompany at that level,” saysScarbrough, whose five-year-old company is based inVentura, California.
Being a woman businessowner is no longer as novelor unusual as it was decadesago. “I know a lot of womenwho are starting things, aswell,” Scarbrough says.
The growing number ofresources for women busi-ness owners, including theSBA-sponsored Women’sBusiness Centers andwomen’s business organiza-tions are also encouragingwomen to start companies,according to Duffy.
But women owners aren’tcarbon copies of men. Theytend to be more optimisticthan their male counterparts,
according to a survey releasedthis week by Bank of America.
Seventy percent of thewomen owners surveyedexpect their revenue to riseover the next year, comparedto 66 percent of men. Fifty-sixpercent of women plan to hirein the next year, compared to50 percent of men.
The survey also foundwomen owners may face dif-ferent challenges than men.Twenty-nine percent saidthey feel they have lessaccess to money than men,and 32 percent said they haveless access to new businessopportunities.
A woman entrepreneur ismost likely to start a compa-ny that provides educationalservices, administrative orwaste management servicesor is involved in the arts,entertainment or recreation,the AmEx survey said.

The point where the roil-ing ocean meets the fury of ahurricane’s winds may holdthe key to improving stormintensity forecasts ó but it’snearly impossible for scien-tists to see.
That may change thissummer, thanks to post-Hurricane Sandy federalfunding and a handful ofwinged drones that canspend hours spiraling in ahurricane’s dark places,transmitting data that couldhelp forecasters understandwhat makes some stormsfizzle while others strength-en into monsters.
Knowing that informationwhile a storm is still far off-shore could help emergencymanagers better plan for evac-uations or storm surge risks.
A hurricane is like anengine, and warm oceanwater is its fuel. One secret,scientists say, is getting a bet-ter understanding of how thewarm water transfers energyto tropical storms.
“We really need to get abetter idea of what’s going ondown there before we evenlook to improve our intensityforecast,” said Joe Cione, whostudies how storms interactwith the ocean at the NationalOceanic and AtmosphericAdministration’s HurricaneResearch Division in Miami.
Hurricane hunter aircrafttypically don’t fly below5,000 feet and can’t descendbelow 1,500 feet, and real-time radar doesn’t provideinformation about the ther-modynamics at work inside astorm’s cloudy core.Canisters stuffed with elec-tronics dropped from theplanes transmit data about astorm’s pressure, tempera-ture, winds and moisture asthey fall to the ocean, butthey remain airborne for onlya few minutes.
The kind of drone that
Cione plans to launch fromthe hurricane hunters willspend hours descendingslowly, cruising on the aircurrents spinning through astorm, possibly even orbitinga hurricane’s eyewall. Theamount of data the 3-foot, 7-pound drone — the Coyote,shaped like a thin missilewith retractable wings —could collect in the lowestparts of a hurricane wouldgive researchers a moviecompared to the snapshotssent back by the canisters,Cione said.
The drones have a propellerand are controlled by someonein the hurricane hunter aircraft,but they are designed to floaton air currents, not fly againststrong winds. And the smalldrones are disposable — oncethey hit the water, they won’tbe recovered.
Hurricane forecasters havegotten good at predictingwhere a storm will hit, and theso-called cone of uncertaintythat shows a storm’s likelypath will shrink again thisyear. Improvements in predict-ing changes in the intensity of
storms, though, have lagged.Several factors can alter a
storm’s intensity, such as coldwater from the ocean’s depthsmixing with warm water atthe surface, wind shear, thecyclical rebuilding of the wallof clouds that ring a hurri-cane’s eye or a change in theenergy a storm is pulling fromthe ocean. That last variable iswhat Cione calls a “data voidregion,” and it’s where thedrones will aim.
“There’s a reason youdon’t have hurricanes overland — they need the water,they need that evaporationand condensation, which isthe source of their energy. So,how does that happen?”Cione said. “If we can’t sam-ple this region very well,very accurately, all the time,we could have the potentialto miss how much energy iscoming out of the ocean by athird or a half.”
Peak of seasonCione plans to test five or
six drones in the peak of hur-ricane season, and possiblynext year, to see how well
they communicate data inreal time. The $1.25 millionproject is among a slew ofother NOAA hurricaneresearch funded by last year’sSandy supplemental bill thatauthorized $60 billion fordisaster relief agencies.
The potential for the datacollected by the drones ispriceless, Cione said.
“A lot of people talk aboutfirst responders, and I havethe utmost respect for that,but we’re sort of like pre-first-responders,” Cione said.“Imagine these type of thingsout there 12 hours beforelandfall, and it’s a categoryhigher than we think. Maybethat’s the difference betweenevacuating people and notevacuating people.”
It’s the kind of informa-tion forecasters would haveliked to have had whenHurricane Charley suddenlystrengthened to Category 4 asit sped into southwest Floridain 2004.
Forecasters knew where itwas going, and they warnedcoastal residents to preparefor a possibly major hurri-cane. But they couldn’t seethat it would intensify into amonster even as itapproached land — forecast-ers still can’t explain what’sbehind that rapid intensifica-tion process.
Charley cut a swath ofdestruction across Florida,killing nine people in the state.
“At the 11th hour, havingthe intensity information isgood, yes. It helps me to tellpeople, ‘Stay where you are,don’t go outside becauseyou’re now putting yourselfat far greater risk of injuryfrom flying debris,’” saidCharlotte County EmergencyManagement Director WayneSallade, who is still chiefalmost a decade afterCharley’s landfall.
However, it would be evenmore helpful to know moreabout whether a hurricanemight continue strengtheningwhen it’s 36 hours or morefrom landfall, Sallade said.That would help determinethe risk of storm surge — thedangerous water rise createdby tropical storms.

Conchs handle Keys GateWith both its running and
passing games clicking, theKey West High footballteam defeated Keys Gate,28-24, in the spring gameFriday in Homestead.
Quarterback AndrewFreeman and running backsMehki Sargent, Dorian
Cannon and Jeffery Anilusscored touchdowns for theConchs, and Sam Gravelinekicked four extra points.
Keys Gate took a 6-0 leadon a long drive on its first pos-session and led 12-7 at thehalf. Key West had only twopossessions in the first half.
In the second half, a hold-ing penalty nullified a 70-yard TD run by Freeman, but
the Conchs still scored threeunanswered touchdowns fora 28-12 lead.
“We moved the ball at will,”coach Johnny Hughes said.
Playing against Conch sec-ond-teamers, Keys Gate scoredon a 99-yard drive to cut the
lead to 28-18, then scoredagain on a hail-Mary pass onthe last play of the game.
“I was happy with oureffort,” said Hughes, whoseteam will play host KeysGate in the season opener.“The passing game looked
sharp and all the runners hadgood games. And both of outlines were outstanding. KeysGate had a lineman whoweighed 320 pounds.
The defense was led bylinebacker Anthony Henriquez,who recently joined the teamafter playing second base forthe Conch baseball squad.Henriquez had an interception.
“We’re right where we
want to be,” said Hughes, whois eager to erase the memoryof last season’s 1-9 record.
The Conchs, who havemoved to the independentGold Coast FootballConference, will have fournon-league games, includingcontests against 2012 statechampion University andlongtime rival Belen Jesuit.

Programaims to keepkids active
Marathon resident andbusiness owner DaashiaCochran is passionate aboutexercise and overall well-ness, especially when incomes to young people.
She and partner KarenThomas own Phoenix Rising,a health and wellness centerwhose mission is to offerclients “a place to exerciseyour mind, body and spirit.”
But Cochran, who moon-lights as a youth recreationalbasketball coach, wanted todo something to ensure alllocal youths have the oppor-tunity to be active and partic-ipate in various sports.
So she and Thomas createdthe Rising Phoenix Program,which will essentially putmoney aside through fundrais-ing to donate as needed forleague registration fees, sportsequipment and the like.
“The goal is to make itpossible for young athletes,ages 7 to 17, to participate inathletic activities. This isopen to whatever our com-munity needs,” Cochran said.
The opening venture willbe the Sock It To Me kickballtournament on July 12 at theMarathon Community Park,so named because participantswill be required to wear sockson their hands during defense.
Cochran said the ideabehind wearing socks was tomake it a colorful and fun-filled day. She said she’salready been fielding ques-tions about what types ofsocks are allowed.
“Socks are socks,” shesaid, noting the only require-ment is that each player pro-vides his or own pair.
Base “stealing is allowedand encouraged. It’s going tolook like crazy town outthere,” Cochran said.
Cochran said she andThomas plan to be as trans-parent as possible with theprogram account, going asfar as making the fund visibleon their www.phoenixrising2013.com website.
“The monies that are putinto the fund will be visible
to the public on the websiteand also where we write thechecks to,” she said. “Whenthe first application goes out,you’ll see [where it went and]it’ll be able to be viewed.”
As for the youngstersapplying, Cochran said it won’tbe as simple as asking for helpand waiting to hear back.
“It’s going to be throughan application process. Theyoung athlete would explainwhat it means to them, how itwould affect them positivelyand do some communityservice before they get” theaward, she said.

MARATHONFISHING THE FLORIDA KEYS
Little wind means good bite
Hear that? No, you don’t— because the wind hasfinally laid down.
It’s a good thing becausethere are plenty of dolphin tobe had. Slammers, gaffers andtons of schoolies are pouringthrough anywhere from thereef edge out to 30 miles.
There are some blackfintuna mixed in. And if you’relucky enough to find a floater,you may also get a wahoo.
Mutton snapper fishingon the wrecks and rough bot-tom patches is really comingon strong. Most fish are inthe 12- to 16-pound class,with a few even bigger. Thewrecks are still holdingamberjack, which alwaysprovide a great fight and areexcellent on the smoker.
There’s been a flurry ofAfrican pompano this pastweek in the Middle Keys. Iknow of at least three takenin the Marathon and Big Pine
Key areas.As for yel-lowtail, it’sbeen hit ormiss on thereef. I sug-gest youstart deepand lookfor biggerfish andthen work
your way up shallow untilyou find a school that iscooperative.
The bite for grouperremains good, with plenty ofblacks on the reef and redson the shallower patches.
The bridges are jam-packed with tarpon anglers;the bite is excellent and thereare plenty of fish to goaround. If you are visitingthis week, I highly recom-mend you get in on thisworld-class fishery via theservices of one of the manyprofessional charter boatcaptains in the Keys.
The week’s bestSimon Gervais from
Albuquerque caught five tar-
pon one night and three thenext using live bait and losttwo using his fly rod. He wasfishing at the Channel 2 bridgewith Capt. Chuck Brodzki.
Capt. Ariel Medero ofBig Game Sportfishing atThe Hammocks in Marathonsays the dolphin are here andthey’re big. Look for weedlines, frigate birds and float-ing debris and ballyhoo isthe best bait. One of his jun-ior anglers, Matthew, caughta beautiful 25-pound bull.Inshore, black grouper, nice-size mangroves and high-quality muttons are plentifulon the reefs and wrecks. Andas far as tarpon fishing goes,he reports the hot bite is atBahia Honda Bridge.
Tarpon continues to bethe primary fishing for theSeaSquared crews. Our sea-son record was recorded bythe Deford group of fouranglers from Maryland, wholanded all five of the tarponthey hooked. We fish atBahia Honda using livecrabs. Our shark fishingadventures are increasing innumbers as we get into the
summer season, with loadsof lemon sharks providingentertainment. And our tripsto the reef produced largemuttons, some mangrovesand a whopping 30-poundAfrican pompano.
Also, Capt. Wayne Burrigot a couple of offshore tripsout for our customers, withnice-size dolphin to show fortheir efforts.
Capt. Moe Mottice, ofMoeís Custom Charters inKey West, found big dolphinup to 40 pounds along withwahoo and nice blackfins.Key West Harbor has beenproducing tarpon with snap-pers and sharks mixed in.

Bourbon, maple syrup team up
Simply put, bourbonbelongs in barbecue sauce.
Bourbon, by definition (atleast in the U.S.), is distilledfrom a grain mixture thatmust be at least 51 percentcorn. And corn is naturallysweet. So of course bourbonmakes a wonderful base for asweet-and-tangy barbecuesauce. It lends deep richnessand combines wonderfullywith so many of the sweetand bold flavors we associatewith a great barbecue sauce.
So that was my inspirationfor this recipe — to create anamazing bourbon-based bar-becue sauce. But as Iresearched recipes, I was dis-appointed to find that so fewbourbon barbecue saucesplay up the bourbon. Mostadd just a quarter of a cup, orperhaps half a cup at most. Iwanted more bourbon flavor,so I went with 1 cup.
For sweetness, I used equalparts maple syrup and brownsugar, both of which have thesame rich caramel notes forwhich bourbon is known. Addsome soy sauce for saltiness,some cider vinegar for acidand a bit of Frank’s Red Hotsauce for bite, and we’re off toa great sauce.
This sauce would be deli-cious on any grilled meat, par-ticularly chicken or ribs. But Idecided to slather it on shrimp.The briny notes of the shrimpjust bring out the delicioussweetness of the sauce.
What you need:� 2.5 cups water.� Kosher salt.� 12 ounces Israeli (large
pearl) couscous.� One medium English
cucumber, diced.
� Half a small red onion,minced.
� Two cloves garlic,minced.
� Three tablespoonschopped fresh cilantro.
� One tablespoon olive oil.� Juice of one lemon.� Two pounds extra-
jumbo raw shrimp, peeled.� Half a cup maple-bour-
bon barbecue sauce (seerecipe below).
� Four ounces crumbledfeta cheese.
In a medium saucepanover medium-high, bring thewater to a boil. Add the cous-cous and one teaspoon of salt,stir, then cover and reduceheat to simmer. Cook foreight to 10 minutes, or untilthe couscous is plumped andtender and all of the water isabsorbed. When the couscousis done, transfer to a mediumbowl. Set in the refrigerator tocool for about 15 minutes.
Once the couscous hascooled, add the cucumber,onion, garlic and cilantro.Toss well, then drizzle withthe olive oil and lemon juice.Toss, season with salt, ifneeded, then divide betweensix serving plates.
Coat the grill grates withoil or cooking spray, then heatthe grill to medium-high.
Thread the shrimp ontobamboo skewers, about six toseven shrimp per skewer.Use a pastry brush to lightlybaste the shrimp with half ofthe barbecue sauce. Grill theshrimp for 3 minutes perside, or until just pink andfirm. Set skewers of shrimpover each serving of cous-cous. Sprinkle each servingwith feta cheese.
Start to finish: 30 minutes(15 minutes active).
