will likely focus on a big
development proposed for

When it was the RV park, it
was permitted as a 126-unit
park with 13 permanent resi-
dential units in mobile homes,
according to a staff memo.
The county staff recom-
mends approval, saying the
permit allocations are in the
pipeline due to previous

The non-market-rate
units must be deed-restricted
to keep them affordable under

from the Health Department
saying the current sewage
treatment plant has been
upgrade to accommodate addi-

"To their credit, they are

could be harmed by some
action it's considering, offi-
cials must "err on the side of
the species" and engage in fur-
ther study and planning.
Refuge officials have said
they intend to thoroughly
comb the area on foot before
igniting the burn and would
maintain the fire to slow, low
intensity to allow animals
time to escape to other natural
areas around the burn site.
"There's just too much
uncertainty," Totoiu said.


"The area they are going to
walk through before the fire is
approximately the size of 30
football fields. How do you
ensure that all endangered
species are out? And if they
can't, they have to give the
benefit of the doubt to the
species."
Totoiu said Fish & Wildlife
has also failed to consider the
fate of another endangered
species local environmental-
ists believe would be threat-
ened by the burn the silver
rice rat.
"They haven't even looked
at the impact on the silver rice
rat, and that impact needs to
be addressed as well," Totoiu
said.
The letter also questions
whether fire would end up cre-
ating an ideal habitat for the
rabbits at all, and suggests
conducting the burn on a
smaller scale to test the theory
that it will benefit wildlife in
the area.
Finally, the letter requests
that Fish & Wildlife engage
the public in developing a
comprehensive conservation
plan.
Officials have said the burn
could take place anytime
between now and the end of
February, and will be conduct-
ed only when the weather con-
ditions are right.

Construction is halted


SEWERS / From I

drawn up by Weiler Engineering
lack the proper amount of pits,
which in turn would cost them
extra money to hook up to the
system. Anglers Drive and
Manor Lane are the first two
streets to have work done in the
city.
After researching the issue,
Anglers Drive resident Jack
Burley feels the vacuum pits are
being installed without consid-
eration to the location of the
outflow pipe from each home.
"We found that 10 of our 18
homes will have additional
expense to extend the pipe to
the proper location on the prop-
erty line. The total.of the unnec-
essary pipe expense for our 10
properties in question will be
$50,072 paid to the city, plus
the additional repair to drive-
ways, lawns, .etc.," Burley
wrote in a letter to the city.
Burley contends the pits,
which are used to collect waste-
water, were installed based on
aerial photos of each street and
the result is an uridue burden on
the end user-the residents. He
said he would present to council
a plan devised by Reese
Williamson, a former partner in
a mechanical and electrical
engineering consulting firm,
that he feels would significantly
lower their costs.
Williamson's plan calls for
nine vacuum pits on the street
as opposed to the six proposed
by Weiler.
"We looked at the existing
conditions and came up with an
alternate plan. When you add
up what the residents would pay
individually versus what the
extra pits would cost, it
becomes more economical to
put the pits in," Williamson
said.
According to Weiler, the
vacuum pits retail for roughly
$5,200 depending on condi-
tions.
Weiler Project Manager Ed
Castle said plans were not done
based on aerial photos and that
council directed the firm to
design the most cost-effective
system possible. He said
installing extra vacuum pits
would drive the price of the
project up significantly.
"It gets very expensive -
especially if you're talking
about the, whole city where


you look at not just the cost on
the street and the cost on a pri-
vate property, but to look at a
balance. We try to accommo-
date everyone's connection
within those restraints," Castle
said.
The question, Councilman
Don Vasil says, is who will foot
the bill should these changes be
deemed necessary.
"This needs to be a council
decision whether this needs to
be borne upon the homeowner
or to be spread across the whole
system," Vasil said.
Castle said spreading the
cost systemwide could poten-
tially put a burden of cost on
lower-income areas of the city.
Those areas have smaller lots
with minimal connection
charges and would then be
forced to share the cost with
wealthier residents.
Castle also pointed out the
plans would require new per-


mitting through- the state
Department of Environmental
Protection if altered by more
than 10 percent. He said this
could result in lengthy delays
and change orders from the
construction company for lost
time.
Monroe County has been
mandated by the state to meet
advanced wastewater treatment
standards by 2010.
Mayor .Pete Worthington
said if the city were to increase
the amount of vacuum pits on
every street by 50 percent, like
the plan on Anglers South, the
cost of the overall system
would rise by 10 percent, or $8
million.
"That's a significant
increase. If we do it for [them],
we have to do it for the rest of
the city," Worthington said.
"We have to do the best we can
to work with the engineers who
engineered this project."

Keys graduation rates go up


But some say
figures are
apples, oranges
BY KRISTEN BURNIE
kbumie@keysreporter.com

The state Department of
Education recently recognized
the Monroe County School
District for having one of the 10
best high school graduation rates
in the state. But some School
Board members wonder if the
rate accurately reflects student
achievement.


District officials announced in
December that the graduation
rate in Keys public high schools
increased from 75.5 percent in
2006 to 83.6 percent in 2007, an
8.1 percent improvement.
The total of 534 graduates,
though, includes 39 students, or
7.3 percent of the total, who
earned diplomas through GED
"exit option" programs. The pro-
grams let students who haven't
completed all graduation require-
ments earn the same diplomas as
those who have.
"It artificially reflects higher
achievement in the classroom
than it really should," School
Board Vice Chairman Duncan
Mathewson said of the gradua-
tion rate including the exit-option
graduates.
The number of Keys students
graduating from GED exit-option
programs increased 56 percent
last year, from 25 students in
2006 to 39 in 2007, according to
the program's head, Carol
Eisenman.
The Department of Education
sets the guidelines for determin-
ing graduation rates in the state's


67 school districts. Keys public
schools are among the 63 districts
that have GED exit-option pro-
grams and are eligible to include
those graduates in their gradua-
tion rates.
In 2007, two exit-option stu-
dents graduated from Coral
Shores High School, two from
Marathon High School, two from
the Lower Keys PACE Center for
Girls and 33 from Key West High
School.
"The state of Florida came up
with it. I believe they've done the
research to say it's something
comparable," Superintendent
Randy Acevedo said of whether
exit-option diplomas should hold
the same value as regular high
school diplomas.
"Efforts to keep kids from
dropping out and graduating with
a degree have certainly increased
in recent years," he said.
But some people critical of the
district administration say most
other states don't include exit-


option graduates in their rates.
Mathewson said it's unfair to
award exit-option students the
same level of recognition as stu-
dents who complete all high
school graduation requirements.
He said the practice also lowers
the standard of what's considered
"student success."
But Carol Eisenman, of the
district's Instructional Services
Program, said there's a misper-
ception the exit-option program
is "an easy out for a kid."
"It's the right option for a
small number of kids," she said.
Eisenman said only students
who are 12th-graders age-wise
but are missing class credits are
eligible for the program.
"This is for the kids who, even
if they got it together in their sen-
ior year and made up all the cred-
its they possibly could, still
wouldn't be able to graduate,"
she said. "So they really aren't
motivated to stay in school with-
out this program."


Eisenman said exit-option
programs require much more of
students than traditional GED
programs, and that participants
must remain in school, attend
monthly counseling sessions, and
also pass high school graduation
requirements before taking the
GED exam in March and gradu-
ating with a regular high school
diploma.
School Board member Debra
Walker said that "most entities
treat [exit-option diplomas] the
same" as regular diplomas, but
that all school districts should use
the same method of calculating
graduation rates so comparisons
are accurate.
"Graduation rates are really
controversial right now simply
because they are not the same
everywhere," Walker said.
She said federal officials are
considering changing the No
Child Left Behind Act to require
all school districts to calculate
graduation rates the same way.

Report: Fewer
mammograms sought

A recent report from the
National Cancer Institute reveals
that fewer women are getting
mammograms, according to
Mariners Hospital of Tavernier.
Mammograms are used to
screen healthy women for signs
of breast cancer and are consid-
ered a crucial tool to detect the
disease at its earliest stage, when
it is most treatable. Research by


NCI, reported in the journal
Cancer, found that mammogra-
phy rates fell significantly, by as
much as 4 percent nationwide
between 2000 and 2005. The
sharpest declines were seen
among women 50 to 64 years old,
the ages when breast cancer com-
monly strikes.
Statistics at Mariners Hospital
mirror the national trend, with the
number of mammograms con-
ducted in 2007 down over the
previous year.
"This study and the Mariners


statistics are quite disturbing,"
said Sara Badano, an; internist
with a practice in Tavernier.
"Breast cancer is the second lead-
ing cause of cancer death for all
women and the leading cause .of
cancer death in women between
the ages of 40 and 59. Mam-
mograms have proven successful
in catching breast cancer early,
when tumors are small and easier
to treat successfully. It's very dis-
couraging to me to know that
women in the Keys are going
without this vital test."

Another kink in


Boot Key woes


Coast Guard
may get say
in its removal
By RYAN McCARTHY
nnrccarthi@keynoter.com


A nearly 30-year-old agree-
ment between Monroe County
and the U.S. Coast Guard could
potentially play a role in the city
of Marathon's long-term plans
for the dilapidated Boot Key
Bridge.
The county owned the bridge
before it was taken over by
Marathon when the city incorpo-
rated in 1999. Deputy City
Manager C.J. Geotis said the
county in 1980 planned to do
remodeling work on the bridge
and had a permit approved by the
Coast Guard.
"The permit said that if the
bridge were ever no longer used
for transportation, then the coun-
ty needed to remove the bridge ...
including the approaches,"
Geotis said.
He said this essentially means
the entire structure would need to
be removed.
Florida Department of
Transportation bridge engineer
Frank Guyamier told the City
Council at an Aug. 28 meeting,
when discussing options for the
bridge, that removing the entire
structure would cost $2 million.
The city was exploring the
option of simply removing the
draw portion of the bridge at a
cost of $800,000, but the agree-


ment with the county and Coast
Guard might override that plan,
Geotis said.
He said the city is awaiting a
legal opinion from City Attorney
Jimmy Morales on whether the
dated agreement applies to the
city. Morales did not return calls
for comment.
On Dec. 3, the city closed the
bridge to traffic of any type after
DOT proclaimed the bridge a
hazard and recommended it be
closed until further notice. It has
been scrambling ever since then
to accommodate those who use
the island for work purposes.
Boot Key is home to some 25
commercial fishermen and is the
headquarters of Keys Radio
Group. Radio station owner Joe
Nascone has threatened the city
with legal action should it decide
to decommission the bridge.
The city is awaiting results
from an appraisal of Boot Key's
value before determining long-,
term solutions for the bridge.
The appraisal will provide the
island's three parcel owners a
better understanding of the costs
they might incur for the bridge's
.repair and will give the city an
idea of its liability in the event the
council decides to permanently
close the bridge.
"There's a lot of questions that
need to be answered and I don't
think council will be able to make
decisions until the appraisal is
done and that will be two. weeks,"
Geotis said.

Cops put focus
on bicycle laws

The Key West Police
Department has stepped up
enforcing bicycle laws within the
city limits.
The new campaign is not
meant to punish violators, but to
educate them on proper safety.
But after due warning, citations
will be issued, police say.
Police say some bicyclists
don't obey stop signs and traffic
control devices. Also, a bicyclist


can be arrested with driving
under the influence on a bike.
Another law entails that bicy-
clists can't ride the wrong way
down a one-way street unless
they ride on the sidewalk. If a
bicyclist chooses to ride on the
sidewalk, he or she must yield
the right of way to pedestrians
and must give an audible signal
or warning that he or she wants to
pass a pedestrian.
Bicyclists are also required to
have lights on their bikes at night.
A white light visible from at'last
500 feet must be on the front.


Election set for March 11


VILLAGE / From 1

"This takes so much more
time than I anticipated," she
said. "I expected to spend about
20 hours on a week on council
business, but it takes a minimum
of 35'hours a week. And many
weeks, it's more."
Hill said she never considered
stepping down after one term.
"I'm loving every minute it, and
loving this community even
more," she said. "I've gotten to
know people I never would have
met otherwise."
The 2008 election marks the
first time since Islamorada's
founding that all five seats are
open at the same time. A village
charter change shortened all
terms to two years from four, but
that could be reversed by refer-
endum this year.
Council candidates can
declare for any seat, regardless
of where they live in Islamorada.
Three other incumbents face
challengers for the vote, to be
held March 11.
Dave Boemrner, an architect
.currently serving as mayor, drew
Purdo, a fishing captain, and Jim


Rhyne, a hotelier, as opponents
in the Seat 3. If none of the three
candidates receives at least 50
percent of the vote, a runoff will
be held April 8.
A new council member will
fill Seat 2, after eight-year
incumbent Chris Sante leaves
under term-limit rules. Zima
Borski and Rod Halenza filed to
run for Seat 2.
Don Achenberg, a retired
trucking company owner
appointed by the council to fill
Seat 1 after the 2006 resignation
of Patty Schmidt, will be chal-
lenged by resort owner Paul
Bates, a frequent critic of the
council.
Seat 5 incumbent Michael


Reckwerdt, a marina owner,
drew a challenge from artist Ron
Levy, who served one term on
the original Islamorada Village
Council and was the village's
first mayor when it incorporated
in 1997.
When Schmidt stepped down
from her post, applicants to fill
out the term included Levy,
Purdo, Zima Borski and Rhyne
in addition to Achenberg.
"Wastewater issues and, the
village budget will be the big
issues" in the election, Hill pre-
dicted. "The real-estate has
given us something of a respite
on overdevelopment, but the
market is cyclical. Those issues
will come back."

Keys Opinion


Sewer priorities set

high-stakes game

Most anyone who's played cards will know the expression
"hole" card.
This is the card dealt face down so players have to guess at
the odds of holding or drawing a winning hand.
That's the position we face after a key Florida lawmaker told
Monroe County to set priorities for sewer funding. In other
words, who gets the state money if and when it becomes avail-
able?
County Mayor Sonny McCoy had a resolution readied for
last week's County Commission meeting that would put the
onus of setting those priorities on the state Department of
Environmental Protection.
But that item was pulled at the last minute after Marathon
Mayor Pete Worthington and others raised questions about how
this could possibly derail sewer projects already reviewed by
DEP and outside county jurisdiction.
But that doesn't resolve state Rep. Stan Mayfield's litmus test
on who best assigns need for limited state funds?
Mayfield's involvement is critical because he's chairman of
the Florida House Environment and Natural Resources
Council. And state Rep. Ron Saunders says that without help
from Mayfield, the goal of getting Tallahassee to approve
sewer bonds for the entire Keys is dead on arrival.
Just like in a poker game, however, players feel more com-
fortable when they see all cards on the table. That hasn't hap-
pened yet.
Witness the scramble for scarce state sewer funds just in the
past two years. When the state promised $20 million in sewer
funding to the Keys for the 2006 budget cycle, the Key Largo
Wastewater Treatment District board and the County
Commission got in an unseemly tug of war. The lesson wasn't
lost on other wastewater utilities.
One result: the Key Largo board hired its own lobbyist to
press for funding in Washington, D.C., as well as in
Tallahassee. So did the city of Marathon and village of
Islamorada. Add the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority to the
list of players with a stake in this game.
And that's not even counting the uncertainty created by
recent behind-the-scenes discussions over the possible sale of
the private KW Resort Utilities' Stock Island plant and the
FKAA's $35 million sewer project for Big Coppitt, Rockland,
Geiger and Shark keys.
It's enough to make even battle-scarred veterans of local pol-
itics wary about who is the dealer and how many players are in
the game?
And most importantly, who's hiding the hole cards?

Some displays are antithesis of One Human Family


EDITOR:
While it is not our intent to be the arbiters of
taste and morality, nor are we challenging the
rights of freedom of speech guaranteed by our
Constitution, we are saying that a community
should have the right, if not the responsibility, to
determine the overall general level of accept-
ance it wishes to tolerate, especially when the
behavior of a few dramatically affects the over-
all economy.
Key West has always been known for its
laid-back live-and-let-live attitude and the edgi-
ness that has been exemplified by the colorful
characters of its past, from Hemingway and
Capote to Captain Tony and Jimmy Buffett. In
fact, it is these very qualities that are the back-
bone of One Human Family and visitors' attrac-
tion to this quirky little island.
Perhaps it is human nature to continually test
the boundaries, and while this can sometimes be
a good thing, in the case of merchandise being
displayed in windows on our main street, we
believe it is not.
We believe that the messages that are either
in words or graphic representation exceed the
bounds of good taste to the point of being
obnoxious and obtrusive to residents and visi-
tors alike. We believe this merchandise disre-
spects the taste and intelligence of our visitors.


We believe that if this merchandising continues,
it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy of the type of
visitor we attract in the future.
Finally, we believe that our objections do not
violate the philosophy or community will as that
pertains to living and letting live, One Human
Family or freedom of speech.
In this regard, we applaud Commissioner
Barry Gibson's efforts thus far with the mer-
chants on Duval Street and we commend the
businesses that have already removed the offen-
sive window displays from their storefronts. But
there are still many businesses that have win-
dow displays that are not acceptable.
We urge those businesses to follow suit of
their fellow businessmen and women that have
already cleaned up their windows and store-
fronts. The Key West Chamber of Commerce is
prepared to take further action if necessary to
clean up Duval Street, but for the time being we
would like to give the opportunity for these
businesses to take care of the situation them-
selves and for Commissioner Barry Gibson to
continue his efforts that have been very success-
ful in his short tenure as city commissioner.

Child center appreciates community support


EDITOR:
All of us committed to the mission of the
Grace Jones Day Care Center are indebted to
the city of Marathon and our City Council for
their recent donation of $5,200 supporting our
efforts to serve the children and families in
need of our services.
Through the support of our city, the City
Council and our Middle Keys community,
they've enabled us to provide a quality pre-
school education in a safe and caring environ-
ment.
You will be proud to know the Grace Jones
Day Care Center is recognized as a Gold Seal
day-care facility by the state. The accreditation
exceeds the minimum licensing requirements

Deputies need to slim down
EDITOR:
Since I have been living here for the past six
months, I have noticed something about our
police department, a weight issue. It is their duty
to be in shape to be able to perform all duties of
a police.
I think it's odd that they don't have a weight
limit or physical training every month. This is
really their duty, being in shape. Being a cop can
require running a thief down, can you picture
that? I sure can't.
I think this is a big issue and should really be
taken seriously. Would you want an overweight
cop losing his or her breath from running down a
murderer, and not catching them because they
aren't in shape?

required by Florida statute. In the short time
the new facility has been open, we have
increased our enrollment by 35 percent, with
more children ranging in age from birth to 10
years. We have a waiting list of more than 48
children.
With the continued support of the commu-
nity, we are committed to providing all chil-
dren with the quality education and day care
they deserve. On behalf of our children and
their families, we thank you for supporting the
mission of Grace Jones Day Care Center. The
Middle Keys are such a great place to live.

Support our future students


EDITOR:
As an alumnus of Key West High
School and the Monroe County
school system, I encourage all my
fellow alumni to join me in a simple'
act to help those who helped us.
On Tuesday, the law requires us to
renew the current funding method of
our School District. A yes vote will
ensure that all kids in Monroe
County have access to the very best
care and education. A yes vote allows.
the School District to continue to


lead the way in teacher recruiting
and student improvement. A yes vote
encourages stability in the local mar-
ket and provides continued funding
of our schools' operation. All this is
accomplished without raising taxes.
Voting. It's a simple action, but
one that we must take to protect our
future. Vote yes Tuesday to renew
school.
Damian Vantriglia
Key West


Maintain the School District's flexibility


EDITOR:
A yes vote for flexible spend-
ing for the Monroe County School
District Jan. 29 will allow mem-
bers of the School Board the flexi-
bility to continue to use some of
the existing capital tax revenue
for operational expenses directed
specifically to teacher and school
nurse salaries.
The state Legislature requires ,
that every four years, voters
review the way schools are funded
and either renew or cut off this
operational funding. In 2004, 67
percent voted yes. .
This is a system that has
worked well for the past four
years. It has raised the starting
and ongoing salaries for teachers
whether they have a bachelor,
masters, specialist or doctorate
degree to either No. 1 or 2 in the
state.
Monroe County was the first
county in the state to have bache-
lor-degreed beginning teacher pay
start at $40,000.
Having some of the highest.


teacher pay has helped tremen-
dously with recruiting; three years
ago, school began with about 24
unfilled teacher positions. The fol-
lowing year it was reduced to
about 12 openings and this year
we only had two openings for
teaching positions.
To cut off this funding method
is the equivalent to laying off
more than 200 teachers. The dis-
ruption that this would cause is
enormous.
A yes vote for the local refer-
endum will ensure that our
schools may continue to operate
within the existing tax rate struc-
ture. In today's chaotic real estate
market, stability of ad valorem tax
rates is an important benefit
because it removes the possibility
of a disruptive element.
All registered voters in Monroe
County may vote for the referen-
dum Jan. 29 as well as vote early.

Monroe County School Board

Brothers give back to the Keys


EDITOR:
Wesley House Family Services
would like to express our sincere
thank you to Clinton and Daniel
Curtis for their wonderful concert,
"The Boys are Back in Town," at'
the Tennessee Williams Theatre. It
was an evening of exceptional tal-
ent both from New York and Key
West.'
A portion of the proceeds were
donated to the Wesley House
Building for Children Fund to ren-
ovate the Inez Martin Child
Development Center at 1100
Varela St., Key West. The
evening's event raised $5,800.
Due to a match grant from the
Eckerd Family Foundation, these
proceeds are doubled.
"It was the boys who came up
with the idea," said Libby Curtis,
the performers' proud mom1. "They


wanted to give back to their com-
munity, which supported them
throughout their young lives in
Key West. What a better way to
give back than to support our chil-
dren, the future of Key West."
Wesley House Family Services
is a nationally accredited, county-
wide, not-for-profit organization
working with children and fami-
lies. During the past year, the
agency's services have helped
more than 2,600 children and fam-
ilies in Monroe County. For more

Mitigation for development protects habitat


EDITOR:
It seems to me a great deal of the contro-
versy over the mitigation required by the
Habitat Conservation Plan on Big Pine and
No Name keys involves one very basic mis-
understanding.
Many people are arguing the number of
Key deer has increased and therefore they
are doing well and do not need additional
habitat.
This increase in the number of deer
seems to be one of those urban legends
which, after being repeated enough times,
takes on the appearance of fact. Actually, it
is by no means certain that the herd is
increasing. There has been no accurate
count since Roel Lopez's scientific census.
That census put the total number of deer in
2000 at 700 to 800.
Since then, the only evidence regarding
the size of the herd is anecdotal. Some peo-
ple believe they are seeing more deer. Other
people believe they are seeing fewer deer.
This last group has at least one good argu-
ment; there were 107 road kills in 2006, but
only 88 in 2007. It's possible the deer have
gotten smarter and/or the drivers have
become more cautions, but I doubt it. The


real point, however, is we just don't know.
But for purposes of argument, let's
assume there are more deer. Let's further
assume they have sufficient habitat (they
are surviving, after all). Then why, people
are asking, should we acquire more habitat
for the deer? Why do we need to mitigate
for development at all?
Here is where the misunderstanding
comes in. Mitigation in return for develop-
ment does not increase the deer's habitat; it
only protects some of the existing habitat.
Let me put that another way. When the
Habitat Conservation Plan requires mitiga-
tion for development, it is saying in effect
that we will allow some development on
less -desirable habitat.if more of the best
habitat is protected from future develop-
ment.
The issue is not whether there are more
deer, nor is it whether the existing habitat is
adequate for the deer. The issue is will we
try to control further reduction of the best
existing habitat by placing more of it pro-
tected status.

A bayside hotel and marina property in Key Largo will go to public auction Feb. 1 after plans
for redevelopment sputtered.


Starting price: $7.36M


Waterfront site
latest victim
of sour market
Keynoter Staff

A vacant Key Largo property
formerly the site of a bayside
motel, marina and restaurant goes
to a bankruptcy auction Feb. 1.
The 2.53-acre property at mile
marker 104.2 once held Kelly's
On the Bay motel, Hobo's Cafe
and a marina.
The businesses were closed
and bulldozed in preparation for
construction of a planned condo-
hotel by owners DB Key Largo, a
private corporation.
Now the site must be sold at
auction, according to a Jan. 10
order from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court's Miami Division.
Fisher Auctions is handling
the sale. A company representa-
tive for the account could not be
reached at press time
A property inspection is
planned Thursday, with the Feb.
1 auction taking place at the
Claude Pepper Federal Building
in Miami.
Qualified bids should start at
$7.36 million, according to the
court order. Bidders must qualify
by Jan. 29 and have a $100,000
cashier's check at the auction.


DB Key Largo paid almost $9
million in 2005 for bayfront
property at mile marker 104. DB
Key Largo is one of several com-
panies owned or managed by
Dana Berman. DB Key Largo is
managed by DBKL Manager of
Coconut Grove, whose president
is Berman.


Bidders
must qualify
by Jan. 29

and bring
a $100,000
cashier's
check to
the auction.


According to the bankruptcy
filing, DB Key Largo owes cred-
itors $14 million and has assets of
.$10 million.
TIB Bank reportedly issued a
$6.2 million mortgage for the-


property but later assigned the
contract to a Fort Lauderdale,
Philrich of Key Largo.
DB Key Largo planned to
build 20 condominium-hotel
units on the site at the 104.2
marker, according to Monroe
County planning documents.
The property was one of many
throughout the Florida Keys that
changed hands in the last few
years in a wave of speculation on
redevelopment to high-end con-
dominiums or condo-hotels.
A sour real-estate market
seems to have stalled many of the
ambitious plans.
Cay Clubs, which once
planned developments from Key
Largo to Key West, has drastical-
ly scaled back operations and has
sold off assets from some related
businesses. Unit buyers at a
Marathon resort have sued, say-
ing their were misled on income
potential and the extent of reno-
vations.
Holiday Isle Resort and
Marina was purchased for
planned conversion into a Greek-
themed condo and resort com-
plex. Demolition was slated to
start last April, but current plans
call for" the existing resort to
remain in operation indefinitely.

Lobster imports


under scrutiny


Thursday session
in Islamorada
addresses issue
Keynoter Staff

Federal fishery officials come
to Islamorada to hold a Thursday
meeting on changing rules to
import spiny lobster.
The meeting is a preliminary
step to assess public interest in
the issue and need for regula-
tion.
Biologists are concerned that
excessive take of spiny lobster
of all sizes in the Caribbean and
Latin American could harm U.S.
harvests of legal-size lobster,
according to the South Atlantic
Fishery Management Council.
"The animal is a shared
resource in that it has no nation-
al boundaries because of its
dependency on ocean currents
for its larval distribution," says a
report from the South Atlantic
Council. "...If you destroy the
brood stock of Latin America,
you effectively destroy the fish-
eries of other countries."
The United States imports


about 90 percent of the spiny
lobster from Brazil, Colombia
and Central American produc-
ers.
Even if the countries have
size limits, they may not be rig-
orously enforced, the agency
report says. "Much of the
imported lobster does not meet
the minimum size limits in the
country of origin."
A system that harvests under-
sized markets in Central or
South America and ships them to
the U.S. can introduce signifi-
cant amounts of illegal lobster to
the U.S.
More stringent importation
rules "would assist law enforce-
ment in restricting illegal prod-
uct in the market."
Suggested rules approximate
U.S. lobster rules, requiring a
carapace of more than 3 inches
on whole lobster or a tail of 5.5
inches. A minimum weight size
also could be adopted.
The Islamorada workshop is
open to the public. It begins at 6
p.m. Thursday at the Islander
Hotel, mile marker 82.

Council considers
in-house sewer staff

The Islamorada Village
Council, meeting this past
Thursday, Directed Utilities
Director Myles Milander to
research creating an in-house
sewer staff. Currently work is
outsourced
Milander says he'll have a full
report with estimated costs for
staff and vehicles before the Feb.
14 council meeting.
The council also directed con-
sulting firm E-Sciences and the
Utilities Department to prepare
facilities at Founders Park to
receive treated wastewater for
watering athletic fields. Milander
said it will cost about $1,000 to
get Founders Park ready, but that
water re-use won't work until the
Monroe County School Board
completes repairs to stop saltwa-
ter from entering the system at
Coral Shores High School.


Alleged dealers
taken off street

Two Keys men face serious
felonies following their arrests
last week for alleged cocaine
dealing.
James Leland, 48, and
Keyonbie Humphrey, 26, were
wanted on warrants from pre-
vious operations.
Detectives arrested Leland
Jan. 15 on to warrants alleging
sale of cocaine warrants. A
search revealed he had four
grams of cocaine separated and
ready for distribution so he
was further charged with pos-
session with intent to distrib-
ute.
Humphrey was busted on a
warrant and them additionally
charged with possession with
intent to sell after he was
reportedly found with 69 rocks
weighing a total of 8.3 grams.

Uncollected fines adding up


Over $2 million
is outstanding
from code cases
By KYLE TEAL
kteal@keynoter.com

Former Key West Chief Code
Compliance Officer Jim Young
says more than $2 million in out-
standing fines for various code
violations could give the city
some much-needed relief in a
tight budget year.
But that money would need to
be collected first.
"As a taxpayer, its very dis-
heartening," said Young, who
was fired without cause in
October 2006 by then-city man-
ager Julio Avael.
Since then, Young has com-
piled a list of code violation fees
that have yet to be collected,
including three from his own
investigations from his time in
the department.,
Some of the figures Young
lists match up to city records,
although for some cases, accrued
fines were even higher than noted
by Young.


He added up $2.13 million
owed from eight different cases,
including some nuisance com-
plaints over unsecured dumpsters
lodged against commercial prop-
erties like Niles Sales and Service
and Captain Runagrounds restau-
rant.
Only one of the cases of the
eight Young reviewed has been
settled, according to, city docu-
ments: 205 Julia St., where
Phillip Monroe improperly
installed an air conditioning unit
and did unlicensed roofing work.
Monroe's attorney reached a
settlement with the city for a
reduced fine of $1,775, city
records confirm. According to
Young's research, there were five
code violations cited there. With
fines of $250 a day, as of July 13,
2007, Monroe owed $627,150
from that case, Young said.
City Commissioner Bill Verge
said people who refuse to come
into compliance shouldn't be for-
given with reduced fees.
"I just want to make sure
we're not giving away the store
and everyone is treated equally,"
Verge said. "I think the city is tak-


ing a reasonable position. The
name of the game is compliance.
You can't use it as a big money
generator."
Verge said City Attorney
Shawn Smith mitigates the fines
on behalf of the City
Commission. Verge has talked
with Smith about keeping the
commission aware of what's
being mitigated and to propose
initial, smaller fines separate
from the $150 in court costs to
motivate people to comply.
Harvey Johnson, owner of
Captain Runagrounds restaurant
in the Garrison Bight, accumulat-
ed nearly $400,000 in fines from
three separate violations, one for
illegal roof repairs, according to
city records. Another additional
case was dropped.
Young contends Assistant City
Manager John Jones took over
one of the cases filed against
Johnson, and fines were reduced.
Jones said he has turned all cases
over to Code Supervisor Gary
Addleman, who declined com-
ment.
Young also accused Jones of
halting the accrual of fines for a
case against Realtor Gene
Giacumbo at 725 Francis St.,


owner of Insite Key West (Olivia)
LLC. Giacumbo owned an extra
unit on the property that didn't
have proper electrical permitting,
according to city documents.
While city records reveal a let-
ter Jones wrote ordering a halt to
the fines, documents also show
that Giacumbo owes $112,500 in
fees from the 2006 violation.
Jones said he stopped the fines
because there were legal delays:


Special Magistrate Jeff Overby
recused himself and attorney
Robert Cintron took the case.
"I think that the man was obvi-
ously trying to come into compli-
ance," Jones said, adding that he
was told the end goal at the time
was gaining compliance, not rev-
enue from fees. "He [Giacumbo]
had a legitimate argument at the
time."

Transfer law OK'd for development


It's designed
to limit moves
of building rights
By ALYSON CREAN
acrean@keynoter.com

An ordinance aimed at
helping solve the county's
affordable housing woes
breezed through final approval
with the County Commission
Jan. 16.
The commission unani-
mously approved the second
hearing of the law that pro-
vides strict guidelines for
developers moving building
rights from one location in the
Keys to another.
It's the county's response to
the closures of mobile-home
parks the past few years in
which property owners tried to


use the building rights from
the parks to build luxury
waterfront homes.
"There's not a run on trailer
parks right now," Jerry
Coleman, the county's housing
consultant, told the commis-
sion, "so we can take this back
and tweak' it if you want to.
But I think this ordinance is
ready to go."
The commission agreed. Its
vote sends it off to
Tallahassee, where the state
Department of Community
Affairs must give final
approval.
After months of drafting,
the ordinance limits where
building rights can be trans-
ferred, an important issue with
many involved in its drafting.
In its first incarnation, many
people were concerned build-
ing rights might be transferred
throughout the Keys to the
detriment of community char-
acter.
That concern grew out of
one project in particular, when
a company called Boca
Developers bought a Big Pine
RV park and tried to get coun-
ty approval to move the build-
ing rights to the former
Rowell's Marina in Key
Largo.
Upper Keys residents
turned out in force to oppose

it, concerned the increased
density of housing on the for-
mer marina would hurt their
quality of life.
The ordinance also built-in
disincentives for moving
building rights to the water-
front. It requires landowners
to transfer two building rights
for every one they would be
able to develop on the water-
front or in a multi-family
home. For example, the owner


of a 100-unit mobile-home
park would be able to transfer
only 50 market-rate units to a
waterfront parcel.
The ordinance also makes
provisions for park owners to
either sell or donate the parks
to the county so they can be
retained as affordable housing.
That means after a builder
transfers the right off site, the
county would be able to lease
the park to a land trust or other


entity that could maintain
affordable housing.
The proposed ordinance
also requires the site receiving
the building right be no more
environmentally sensitive than
the mobile-home park where
the rights originate.
The approval dovetails with
this month's sunset of a mora-
torium on redeveloping trailer
parks.

Sleeping motorists

found armed


Deputies say
boat motor
also suspicious
Two men from Trenton,
Fla., were jailed Saturday
after deputies found them
asleep in their truck, then dis-
covered they both had con-
cealed weapons that were not
permitted, according to the
Monroe County Sheriff's
Office.
Deputy Becky Herrin said
deputies David Minor and
Patrick Crozier were around
mile marker 90 at 3 a.m. when
they saw a truck parked near
the Boat Mart. The truck had a
Mississippi tag which, when
checked through the comput-
er, came back "no record
found."
When the deputies ques-
tioned the two, driver Edward
Ealum, 49, and passenger
Justin Edmonds, 24, they


reportedly said they in the
area to make a delivery. Asked
about a boat motor in the back
of the truck, he said he was
delivering it to New Orleans,
Herrin said, adding he had no
paperwork about either
alleged delivery.
The motor was seized and
will be investigated further.
Meanwhile, Herrin said,
handguns were found tucked
into pockets in the driver and
passenger doors. The one in
the.driver's door turned out to
be reported stolen, Herrin
said.
The guns, the truck and
engine were seized. Ealum
was charged with being a con-
victed felon in possession of a
firearm, carrying a concealed
firearm and possession of a
stolen firearm; Edmonds was
charged with carrying a con-
cealed firearm.

Mandina back


in sheriff's race


Attorney's tried
3 previous times
for the office
Keynoter Staff

Some people hope the third
time's a charm.
Attorney Phil Mandina's
looking at a fourth, as he said
Tuesday he's entering the
November race for Monroe
County sheriff.
"I've got the time. I've kept
up on things," said Mandina,
an unsuccessful sheriff candi-
date in 1996, 2000 and 2004.
All of those races were
against incumbent Rick Roth
(general election the first two
times, the GOP primary the
third).
After 43 years with the
agency, including serving as
sheriff since 1990, Roth has
decided it's time to retire in
2008 and won't seek another
four-year term.
Mandina, an attorney with a
law enforcement background,
hadn't officially filed with the
Supervisor of Elections Office
as of press time Tuesday but
two other declared candidates
had.
Sheriff's Office Capt. Bob
Peryam, a 27-year agency vet-
eran, is running as a Democrat.
He serves as Marathon's
police chief.
Sandy Downs of Cudjoe,
who owns Tarzan's Tree
Service with her husband, is
running unaffiliated.
Mandina said he's running
as a Republican.
The first time Mandina and
Roth faced each other, in 1996,
is recalled by many as among
the dirtiest races in Keys elec-
tion history. Just a sampling:
Details were leaked
about a book written by former
porn star Linda Lovelace, "Out
of Bondage." Among those
mentioned in it: Mandina. And
Lovelace did not look fondly
back at him. She portrayed
Mandina, who worked as an
attorney for her and her ex-
husband, as a swindling
lawyer. Mandina sued
Lovelace for libel, and the
case was settled out of court.


+ Accusations from 1985 in
which Roth was accused of
sexual harassment were
brought to the surface. Also
brought out in the campaign
was a car crash Roth had in
Tavernier in 1995 one in
which Mandina accused him
of being drunk. The Florida
Highway Patrol performed a
field sobriety test on the sher-
iff, but not a Breathalyzer test.
In this campaign, with Roth
out of the picture, it's differ-
ent, but not completely,
Mandina says. He has his
sights set firmly on Peryam,
who has called Roth a mentor.
"If they want more of the
same, they can vote for
Peryam," he said. "If people
want more of a say," they can
cast their ballot for Mandina.
Mandina, who maintains a
law office in Key West but is
from Miami, says he's living
in a home in Islamorada near
the Plantation Key courthouse.
In previous elections, he lived
in the Lower Keys.
In a prepared statement
released Tuesday, Mandina
says, among other things:
He supports the estab-
lishment of a citizens' review
board for the Sheriff's Office
much like the police oversight
board in Key West.
He would create a task
force to address burglaries and
related offenses.
He would increase traffic
patrols in school zones and
stage more drunk-driving
checkpoints.

Besame Mucho of Key

later, the business is still
going on strong.
"I didn't know what I was
going to sell," owner
Meredith Bollong says. "I

what I saw in my travels,
and that's exactly what
we've done."
One thing Besame Mucho
does not sell tourist trin-
kets and T-shirts.
"You can expect to not
find anything tourist related,"
she says. "We figure every-
one else has that covered."
Instead, Bollong says she
focuses on Old World com-
panies and products includ-
ing European soaps, specialty
lotions and high-end bed-
ding. The store is the only
Key West carrier of Kiehl's
and Dr. Hauschka lotions and
soaps. Bollong also stocks
jewelry and handbags,'which
she say make great gifts.
Christmas and Valentine's
Day create special opportu-
nities for Besame Mucho.
She also wraps each gift in

UNEMPLOYMENT / From 17

November 2003.
The soft job market is con-
tributing to deteriorating con-
sumer confidence. Last month,
the University of Florida's
Consumer Confidence Index fell
to its lowest level since August
2002. This week, a Harris
Interactive study conducted on
behalf of the Spherion Corp.
employment agency found that
65 percent of Florida workers
believe the economy is getting
weaker, 18 percentage points
more than felt that way in
November.
Sean Snaith, a University of
Central Florida economist, said
he doesn't think the employment
situation is dire. -
"It is not all that gloomy and
,doomy as media reports would
suggest," Snaith said. "My con-
cern is that people's moods will
shift and they will cut back on
spending."
Snaith expects the troubled
residential construction sector
will turn around by the middle of

If it was in Key West, it was probably a smooth one
By KYLE TEAL

When behind the steering
wheel of a Key West taxi, it isn't
about taking directions from
tourists and reaching a destina-
tion. Oftentimes, it's about decid-
ing what that destination will be
while maneuvering around dod-
dering tourists.
"South Floridians have the
worst driving habits in the
world," Jan Doelman, owner of
the Five Sixes taxi fleet, said.
"The traffic is the most frustrat-
ing part. If they have their right-
turn -signal on, they're likely
going left."
"It's a matter of being
patient," driver Sandy Lee said.
Drivers must be "city
liaisons," according to Lee
Connell, a supervisor with
Friendly Cab Co. His drivers
occasionally book hotel rooms
for passengers, he said.
"Down here, our drivers are
tour guides, a referral service for
anything anybody wants to do,"
he said. "We return lost luggage
and return lost people to their
groups. It's multi-faceted."
Lee has driven a cab with Five

Sixes for three years. She hands
out maps to every customer in
need.
"I love it," she said. "You
meet fascinating people all of the
time. They come here to have a
good time and 99.9 percent of
them come with a good attitude."
But directing her passengers
to a destination takes- a full-on
interview, she said. Lee gauges
places her customers might enjoy
by asking their interests and
where they live (often Chicago,
Wisconsin and Buffalo).
Customers who call in some-


times request Lee, who typically
works from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
She enjoys her "mini-love.
affair" with each passenger, some
of whom have actually bought
her gifts. Her relationships with
her customers come with no
maintenance, and no touching.
Does it get better than that?"
Lee said her "affairs" some-
times leave behind some uninten-
tional gifts: A shoe, a pacifier, old
McDonald's bags filled with half-
eaten Happy Meals.
Doelman, originally from
England, was a driver in Key


West for 10 years before he saved
up enough money to buy Five
Sixes.
He says tourists who climb
into the cab can often let their
liquor get the best of them
When dispatchers ask for a
location, they sometimes hear
answers such as, "I'm standing
by a palm tree."
And drivers have heard direc-
tions like, "Take me to the pink
hotel," and questions like, "Is this
island surrounded by water?"

Doelman said.
Drivers have traveled as far as
Tallahassee and Jacksonville.
Trips to the mainland or even
Marathon are called "gravy-train
days" for cabbies, according to
Lee.
, Rides to Miami International
Airport cost about $550. Those
customers are typically angry


spouses or "couples at war" anx-
ious to leave their companions as
soon as possible, Doelman said.
He says business is good -
last Sunday, Five Sixes received
1,300 calls, not counting hails on
the street, he said.
Friendly Cabs boasts the tradi-
tional yellow taxis. Five Sixes
has 20 to 40 pink Crown Victoria
sedans or vans on the street at
once, Lee said, and drivers can
choose from one of five zones on


the island.
According to Doelman, Five
Sixes just purchased hybrid Ford
Escape sport utility vehicles to
add to his fleet by the end of
April. He got the idea from cab
companies in New York and San
Francisco, areas where driving a
cab is much more dangerous,
drivers say.
Most of the accidents in Key
West are small fender benders,
Doelman said. Five Sixes'

means Coral Shores must win
Thursday at LaSalle High
School in Miami.


"We are not looking past
[LaSalle] but in the back of our

Gulliver," Coral Shores head

Gulliver's Lady Raiders won
the District 16-3A crown Friday,

"We left feeling somewhat

great effort by our entire team."
If Coral Shores (14-4-1) can
beat District 15 winner LaSalle

The Marathon High
School boys basketball team's
struggles following winter
break continued Friday; in a
loss to district rival Miami
Christian School, 52-30.
The Dolphins are I,4
since the break and fell to 7-
10 on the season.
Coach Kevin Freeman
said he knew going into the
game the Victors, were a
strong team, but was disap-
pointed with his team's
effort.
"I believe they're the best
team all-around. They beat us
by 17 before, but we didn't
play well so if we could hit
shots and limit turnovers we
had a good chance," Freeman
said. "It's disheartening the
way we're playing right now
because I know we're a bet-
ter team."
Freeman said "the
Dolphins played well defen-
sively but struggled on the
offensive glass.
"We'd play great defense
and not box out, so they got a
lot of second-chance points.
The thing about rebounding
is it's not all about being in
the right position, it's want-
ing to get the ball," he said.
The Dolphins failed to
support standout Blake
Friedman offensively, as the
senior guard was the only
player to score in the fmnal
three quarters.
Marathon trailed by only
two points after one quarter,
but second chance-points by
the Victors helped them

developed a defensive move
called a cross face and has
learned to raise his hips to avoid
reversals.
"If he places this weekend [at
Jupiter], I think he will place at
the regional meet," Moeller said.
Senior Ralph Major (189
pounds) and junior Oscar
Fernandez (119) also had big
meets at Golden Gate, going 7-0
and 6-1, respectively. Major is


22-0 this season and has won 64
of his last 67 matches.
Moeller expects Major to
return to the state meet for the
third consecutive year, and is
hoping Fernandez can get that
far.
"I am so pleased with Oscar;
he's beating some tough kids,"
Moeller said. "He wants to go to
[the state meet] so badly."


Eli Labrador (140) went 4-3
for the Conchs, who had to for-
feit several matches and finished
with a 2-5 record. Dylan Barber
(130) missed most .of the meet
after injuring his shoulder on
Friday.
This weekend's meet at
Jupiter will be the Conchs' last
of the regular season. The dis-
trict meet will be on Jan. 31.

Soccer team
knots Orlando,
goes to district
By RYAN McCARTHY
rmccarthy@keynoter.com

The Marathon High School
boys soccer team finished its
regular season with a familiar
result Friday, a 1-1 tie against
visiting Orlando Lutheran
Academy.
It was the fifth tie of the year
for the boys, who ended the sea-
son with a much improved 3-7-5
record. The Dolphins did not
win a game all last season and-
were much more competitive
this year.
Coach Jim Murphy, in his
first year with the Dolphins, said
the kids were happy not to be
mercy-ruled this year and said
he expects that mentality to con-
tinue to change over time -
with the team eventually expect-
ing to win.
"I wish we could have turned
a few of those ties into wins,
[but] it's not a loss," Murphy
said.
Murphy said with a full sea-
son under his belt and the quali-
ty of returning players next year,
the future is bright for the pro-
gram.
"I think we have some pretty
good players; we have a lot of
hustlers coming back and soccer
.is their main sport," he said. "I
know what some of these teams
can do that we play against, now
I can put names to faces and get
an idea instead of being sur-
prised."
Murphy switched the lineup
around for the regular-season
finale to allow the seniors on the


roster to start and get significant
playing time. Senior goalie Jay
Hegland played in the field for
the entire game, while fellow
senior Ben Zdan took his place
in net.
"It was their last game other
than districts, so I wanted to get
them in," Murphy said.
Murphy said the action was
limited in the first half of play,
though he was happy to see the
team controlling the ball.
"We held onto the ball a lot
more than we usually do, but we
weren't scoring on the opportu-
nities we had. It was like we
were waiting for the perfect shot
instead of just shooting,"
Murphy said. "When we started
to shoot is when it opened up for
us.
The game was scoreless at
the half and the Crusaders would
take the lead by scoring off a 30-
yard free kick.
"It went through a crowd of
people and got redirected; our
goalie didn't even see it,"
Murphy said.
The Dolphins tied the score
with just 12 minutes left on an
Alex Wright goal.. Emmanuel
Chacala took a free kick from
about 35 yards out, which hit the
post and was easily tapped in the
net by Wright.
Murphy said the Dolphins
continued to attack the goal, but
were unable to capitalize and the
game ended in a 1-1 tie.
Marathon was scheduled to
face Palmer Trinity School
Tuesday in the first round of dis-
trict tournament play, a team the
Dolphins tied twice during the
regular season. Results were
unavailable at press time.

Canes head to tourney as No. 2


Coral Shores
ended regular
season 10-5
By KEVIN WADLOW
Senior Staff Writer
kwadlow@keynoter.com

Coral. Shores' boys soccer
Hurricanes headed to the District
16-3A Tournament with a No. 2
seeding in their pocket.
That still put the Canes in
what was expected to be a fierce
semifinal showdown with rival
Ransom Everglades, the No. 3
seed.
The winner of that Tuesday
match (results not available at
press time) earns a spot in the
regional tournament next week
and a shot at the district champi-
onship Friday.
"We as ready as we can be,"
Coral Shores coach Jorge Bosque
.said before the Tuesday semifi-
nal. "We've played Ransom
twice before so the guys know
what they're up against, and what
we have to do."
Coral Shores split the regular-
season matches against Ransom,
falling 5-4 in Miami before scor-
ing a 2-1 victory in Tavernier.
Ransom is the defending district
champion.
- "The kids have been practic-
ing hard," Bosque said. "I'm
happy with the effort I've seen."
Hurricane senior goalie
Richard Fernandez has healed
from an ankle injury that limited
his ability to punt the ball out of
the box, and Fabian Placencia is
back at full speed after a calf
injury.
Coral Shores closed out the
regular season at 10-5 overall.


In the last game before the
tournament, Westminster
Christian won a 5-3 game in
Tavernier on Jan. 15. Results
from the game against
Westminster, a non-district foe,
had no effect on the postseason
"standings.
"That was a tough one,"
Bosque said. "Westminster's a
good team, so that should help us
get ready for the tournament."
If Coral Shores advances to
the District 16-3A championship
game, the Hurricanes will return
to tournament host Archbishop
Carroll for a 3:30 p.m. Friday
game. Gulliver Prep, the top
seed, is expected to the opponent.
Coral Shores beat Gulliver in
a 4-2 November match, the first
Cane win over the Raiders in
years, but Gulliver won the
rematch in Miami.
Playoffs in Region 4-3A
before Jan. 31, sites depending
on district outcomes.

Opportunities lost


HURRICANES / From 23

but three of them are to
Gulliver.
"Our bad luck against this
team has to be used up,"
Arsenault said. "We are over-
due for a couple of breaks that
ge our way for a change."
Coral Shores packed the
defense back in the opening
half Friday, trying to limit
Gulliver's offensive strength.
"Their goals can come from
just about anywhere,"
Arsenault said.
The Raiders still managed to
score in the first few minutes,
and added a second goal 10
minutes before halftime for a 2-
0 lead at the break.
"We did have some very
good opportunities that we just
were not able to finish,"


Arsenault said. "During half-
time, we decided if we were
going to get back into this
.game; we needed to put a little
more strength up top [for]
offensive punch."
Samantha Ragan took the
day's best shot for the
Hurricanes, the ball bouncing
off the Raider post and rolling
laterally along the goal line
behind the keeper. The Raider
net minder was able to cover
the ball before it scored.
Coral Shores goaltender
Shelby Gentes "had some spec-
tacular saves" to keep the
Canes in contention until late
Gulliver scores.
"We could very well see
[Gulliver] again in the second
round," Arsenault said. "There
is nothing I would like better
than to give them a real game."

Coach wants more emotion

the Victors in the thirds quarter
behind 13 Friedman points to
close the gap to 35-26, but
Freeman said turnovers and a
lack of hustle led to the team
being outscored 17-4 in the final
quarter.
Freeman said the team lost
confidence when it would play
solid defense, only to surrender
offensive rebounds time and
again.
"Our big guys need to step up
and play with heart. They're
playing hard, but there's no emo-
tion in their work," he said.
Marathon was scheduled to
play Palmer Trinity School
Tuesday, but results were
unavailable at press time.

Girls drop two
The girls basketball team lost
a pair of games over the weekend
to Palmer Trinity School and
Spanish River High School.
Coach Amanda Hirschauer
said the team continues to strug-
gle at the outset of games before
coming on in the second half.
- The Dolphins lost Friday to
Palmer, 52-20, but showed
marked improvement in the
game's second half. Marathon
scored just two points in the first
half and 18 in the second.
"It was one of our inconsistent
games, we just started out slow,"
Hirschauer said.


Freshman Alaina Davis main-
tained her strong play of late,
leading the Dolphins with eight
points. Hirschauer said Davis
continues to develop her post
game and collected several offen-
sive rebounds.
Hirschauer said a second-half
barrage of three-pointers cost the
Dolphins in Saturday's 57-18
loss to Spanish River.
"They had none in the first
half and seven in the second


half," she said, noting the
Dolphins played well defensively
in collecting 19 defensive
rebounds.
Junior Latrice Jackson had a
strong game for the Dolphins
with six points, seven steals and
three rebounds.
The Dolphins (1-14) close out
the season with games against
Keys rivals Key West High
School today and Coral Shores
High School Friday.


Conchs now 14-5-2


CONCHS / From 23

game another notch."
The Conchs were led by sen-
ior Kara Haack, who scored two
long goals from 38 and 33
yards and also had an assist.
She has a team-high 28 goals and
15 assists.
, Freshman Jasmine Jones also
had two goals for Key West,
which opened the scoring on a
shot by Rachel Rivet from her
outside midfield position.
Reagan couldn't penetrate a
defense of Monica Bertram,
Chloe DeVelasco, Cheryl
Chavka, Kaitlin Hopkins,
Scarlett Williams, Jordan
Lydamore and goalkeeper Ashley
Stephenson.
The Conchs are a younger
team than the one that lost to


Gibbons, 1-0, in the first round of
the regionals last season. "That
was a veteran crew that had a lot
of confidence," Paul said.
But with a solid defense, the
leadership of Haack and junior
Krizzie Menez, and two fresh-
man (Jones and Jennifer
Barcenas) who have combined
for 28 goals, the Conchs believe
they can advance to a game next
Tuesday, likely against Gibbons.
"We're playing well," Paul said.

Boys in tourney
The 6-15 Key West boys soc-
cer team, which lost its final reg-
ular season game, 2-1, to
Chaminade-Madonna Saturday,
played Reagan in the District 16-
4A tournament Tuesday in
Hialeah. The game was complet-
ed too late to be included in
today's paper.

Turnovers cost
hoops squad,
Marathon's next
By DICK WAGNER
Keynoter Contributor

Ragged from the outset, the
turnover-plagued Key West
High School girls basketball
team lost to Spanish River, 59-
52, Friday night at the Bobby
Menendez Gym.
"Turnovers always kill us,"
said coach Glenn Hayes Sr.,
whose team dropped to 10-7.
The Conchs didn't recover
from a slow start they com-
mitted 16 turnovers in the first
half until the fourth quarter
when a free throw by
Samantha Campbell gave
them their first and only lead
of the game, 44-43.
A 3-point shot by Sara
Dawson put the Sharks back in
front, 46-44, and after Alicia
Arrazola tied it at 46-46 with a
'baseline basket, the Sharks


closed the game with a 13-6
surge in the last four minutes.
Spanish River showed the
Conchs the value of accurate
free-throw shooting, making
23 of 32 from the line, includ-
ing nine of 12 in the fourth
quarter. Key West, as usual,
was below .500, making 12 of
26.,
Campbell led the Conchs
with 15 points and made two
high-arching 3-pointers.
"I told her to take the shot
if she was open and, if not,
drive to the basket," Hayes
said.
Ja'Taure Mathis had nine
points for the Conchs and
Kristen Babich added seven.
Sophomore Chelsea Storr,
who averages in double fig-
ures, scored only six.
Shadowed by Katie Howell
when the Sharks went to a
box-and-one defense in the
second half, Storr did not
make a 3-point shot.

Keys Fishing


Wednesday, January 23, 2008
KEYNOTER


Offshore
Look for weekly offshore
dolphin, tuna and wahoo
reports not to begin for a
couple of months yet. Of
course, in winter, the prevail-
ing winds from a northerly
direction keep the major
flow of warm water far from
the Keys. But these pelagic
species (in fewer numbers)
do find their way close to the
reef in winter, adding to the
excellent fishing only 4 to 6
miles from the islands.

Reefs
Veritable cornucopias of
species are being caught
along the reef, although
frontal boundaries moving
through the area do create
some uncomfortable sea con-
ditions, i.e., big waves. But a
rough sea state often makes
for better sailfish activity.
The recent two-day Outdoor
Channel Tournament yielded
141 sails released.
There are also nice-size
kingfish being caught with
theoccasional wahoo mixed
in. And on the standard sail-
fish charter, quite often
anglers end up with dolphin
on the dinner table as an
added bonus.

Gulf, bay
The Spanish mackerel still
dominate the angling endeav-
ors in the Gu lf. Wind this
past week has made for very
uncomfortable conditions
when the current is running
against that strong wind.

Flats, backcountry
The only bonefish report
comes from Capt. Dave
Atkinson. He's catching the
bones real good oceanside of
Islamorada, weather permit-
ting.
With regard to Flamingo,
that's where most angling
goes on in the winter, with
the shallow banks and flats
providing shelter from chop-
py water. This past week has
given cooler water than one
would want and a trifle more
wind, too.

EXPERT ADVICE: Richard Stanzcyk (left), owner of Bud 'n Mary's Marina in Islamorada, makes
a point about daytime swordfishing to those attending a Saltwater Sportsman fishing seminar
staged Saturday at Coral Shores High School. To the right are Capt. Jim Sharpe, Harry Vernon
III and George Poveromo, director of the seminar. More than 400 people participated in the
event that featured Keys captains and guides delivering tips about backcountry, inshore and
offshore angling.



13-year-old gets her wish


Waterman lands
Master Angler
honor for 2007

Saturday night found the 2007
Key West Fishing Tournament's
awards banquet at the Key West
Golf Course.
More than 30 awards and tro-
phies were handed out to deserv-
ing anglers from as far away as
Chicago and Ontario, Canada.
But one person stood out a little
farther than the others.
Caroline Waterman, 13, from
Key Largo stole the show. She
was awarded Junior in County
Master Angler for the seven-
month tournament and also was
honored for most barracuda
releases and division achieve-
ment in the 30-pound line class.
Her impressive catches that
jutted her to these honors includ-
ed a 47.8-pound amberjack, 23.4-
pound blackfin tuna, 18.4-pound
black grouper, 28.8-pound cobia,
16.4-pound gag grouper and a
12.2-pound permit.
She did all this while fishing
with her father Jim aboard Capt.
- Dale Bittner's Bait Stealer out of
the Kings Pointe Marina on Stock
Island.


Cal Sutphin


All told,
Caroline
tallied six
fish leading
the. junior
division in
weight, 24
division
leaders and
24 releases
submitted.
"I ve
b e e n
friends
with her


and her
family her whole life," Bittner
says. "I fished her father Jim to
winning Master Angler in the
Miami Met [Metropolitan] tour-
nament in the '90s. Caroline has
always had an interest in fishing
while growing up watching her
dad's many successes. We fished
the kickoff and it just started from
there."
He added, "She's a very
patient young lady and listens to
all of my instructions and han-
dled some large fish beautifully."
More than 120 people attend-
ed the awards ceremony and were
treated to great fishing stories
from throughout the year's tour-
nament, compliments of host and
director Doris Harris.


Of Caroline's Master Angler
award, Harris said, "Caroline had
won an award last year, but she
saw how beautiful the trophy was
for Master Angler. Caroline then
said, 'I want to win that,' which
she did a year later."
The Key West Fishing
Tournament, in its 42nd year, is
one of the best ideas to keep peo-
ple coming back to the Keys. For
captains not to take advantage of
this free event to recognize quali-
ty catches is a mystery to me.
Imagine your client a month
later back in Iowa. Long forgot-
ten is the fishing trip spent with
you. The client then receives
through the mail a certificate con-
gratulating him or her on an out-
standing catch. It's not a stretch
to think they will come back for
another trip with that captain their
next trip to the Keys.
Bittner, on the board of the
tournament, says, "It is a great
tool and not expensive. I think
some captains just don't want to
take the effort to weigh the fish in
and fill out the paperwork, which
we as a board have strived to
make very simple. It is a great
reward and recognition for those
folks fishing down here to

Keys Fishing

The mackerel

in Florida Bay
Man, is it cold up north. I
look at the pictures of the people
and with all of their layers .of
clothes, they all resemble the
Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.


Many who have escaped, and
traveled all the way to the end of
Florida are finally thawing out
about the time they pass Jewfish
Creek Bridge, and they think our
bad days are wonderful.
- Think of it in the big picture.
When looking at a map of the
state, are we (the Keys) really
inhabited islands or just where
the ink ran on the map? You

Cp ta f sometimes
Co u wonder if
they just
decided to
keep driv-
ing south
-' until they
ran out of
road figur-
ing that it
had to get
warmer
S sometime.
While
Dave Navarro the areas
bac k
home" are frozen solid, we are
enjoying a-mild winter weather
wise, but one of the hottest I've
seen in regard to the fishing.
This week, almost every venue
has lit it up with tons of species
to shoot for.
Area flats have been showing
more and more bones as well as
other targeted species the past
couple of weeks. For anglers
looking for a challenge with
light tackle, this is the best
venue.
There was a dramatic
increase in the number of dol-
phin, wahoo and tunas in the
nearshore waters adjacent to the
reef line this past week, just
before the last front. Sails are
still extremely plentiful, as well,
with large areas of bait balls
showing up and down the reef
line.
Kings are really coming in to


their own, too. In the past week
or so, I'm starting to see numer-
ous anglers with 40-pound-plus
fish in their boxes. These smok-
ers are quite the catch.
They are called that because
not only are they very good fish
to smoke, but when one that big
hits your line, odds are your reel
will be smoking, too. If you want
to practice catching the big ones,
just go to the highway and hook
a passing Buick.
Farther offshore, good tuna
action in the daytime has
rewarded anglers.
And for the past week or so, a
good swordfish bite at night has
been reported by quite a few
anglers.
A night trip in the middle of
the ocean is not some people's
cup of tea but it can be very
rewarding with the denizens of
the deep. This fishery lately has
also been found to hold good
action in the daytime, too. More
on that later.
We are on the full phase of
the moon now, so the areas of the
reef and Hawk Channel have
good currents to work up fish.
Reports have been very good on
mutton snapper and grouper
along the deep edge as well as on
the patches. Kings and mackerel
abound throughout and 'tails are
just about everywhere, from the
deep waters to the patches and
even in the Hawk.
Knowing where to go and


how to rig up is the main topic of
discussion of this week's free
fishing seminar at our Marine
Educational Center at mile
marker 50 bayside. It's at 6 p.m.
Thursday and everyone is invit-
ed.
Right now, the bay is alive
with action. It is that one sanctu-
ary that you can run to and fish
in almost any wind condition
and still have tons of action. Bay
waters are so full of mackerel
right now that anglers have been
flat-out spoiled.
There aren't too many times
or too many places where you
can go out, set up a chum line
and catch fish nonstop for the
entire period you are fishing. But
this is the case for those who
venture 6-plus miles north of the
islands. The mackerel are so
thick- that working, bait beneath
them has been somewhat of a
challenge.
Snapper have been very
good, as well, in the shallows
and the open bay. Cobia have
been showing up in good num-
bers, too. Redfish in the past
couple of weeks have been very
large from many reports with
fish over 20 pounds being caught
quite frequently.

Capt. Dave Navarro owns the
World Class Angler in Marathon
and captains the charter boat
'Dave's Dream.'


Rosie the cobia gives a thrill


SUTPHIN / From 29

remember forever."
To sign up as a captain for the
2008 Key West Fishing Tour-
nament, go to www.keywest
fishingtournament.com.


The biggest buzz to surround
a new tournament wasn't last
year's Bull & Cow out of
Marathon. It was this past week-
end's Charity Fishing Contest
benefiting the Cancer Foundation
of the Florida Keys and held at a
private lake on Grassy Key.
Doesn't sound like a big deal
but one of the fish hooked by one
of the 25 anglers competing was
Rosie, a 105-pound cobia.
"After one jump and, a. big.


'whoa' from the crowd, Rosie ran
down to the bottom of the lake
and cut the angler's line. The
whole thing lasted a minute,
tops," says Charlie Barra, tourna-
ment director and entrepreneur.
Some of the notable catches
that did make the boca-grip were
a 6-pound mangrove snapper and-
22-pound cobia caught by tour-
nament winner Allen Billingsley
of Naples.
"I'd like to see more kids for
the next event sometime in
March. We just wanted to see
what to expect with this tourna-
ment and was very happy with
not only the 25 who signed up,
but the well over 100 who
observed from the shoreline,"
Barra says.
The lake is the site of an old
aquaculture operation, left aban-
doned last year when the business


moved out. What was left behind
is reason for the fishing tourna-
ment.
Barra and a partner hope to
open a restaurant on the property
with the idea of the most ultimate
cook-your-catch to date, or at
least the freshest. The lake holds
many cobia, ranging from 20 to
105 pounds and thousands of
pounds combined of -muttons,
mangrove and schoolmaster
snappers.
To stop on by to see the fish
for free or for a small charge feed
the fish, stop at mile marker 59.5
on Grassy Key or call (864) 237-
8242.
