Dozens of county
employees losing
jobs in February
By ALYSON CREAN

A handful of county employ-
ees put a sad face on some hard
decisions made by the County
Commission Friday.
The commission, meeting in a
special budget-slashing session,
voted unanimously to enact a
series of recommendations that
will shave $2.3 million off the
2008 county budget.
That means as many as 30
people could lose their jobs.
'I am on the layoff list,"
Public Works employee Robert
Glassmer told the commission. "I
will have no job."
Miguel Carbonell has worked
for Monroe County since 1990.
Formerly with Code
Enforcement, the Parks and
Recreation coordinator pointed
out to the commission the ways
he's saved the county money
through his years of employment.
Carbonell, too, is on the layoff
list.
Public Works, with 174 posi-
tions budgeted, will be hardest hit
with 20 layoffs. The jobs will be
cut at the end of February, and
pare $500,000 off the current
year's expenses.

Acting County Administrator
Debbie Frederick and acting
Budget Director Tina Boan
together presented a department-
by-department breakdown of
cuts in hopes of rolling back
spending in the county's general
fund.
State-mandated budget cuts
enacted in June already put the
brakes on county spending when
the Legislature required local
governments to reduce taxes to
anywhere from 3 percent to 7
percent less than the previous
the commission to reconsider
library cuts.
"Our library is more than
books on shelves these days," she
said. Students need it for home-
work and research, she said,-and
it serves as a "lifeline" for live-
aboard residents and visitors.
"I've never asked for lower
taxes," said Key West resident
Lois Griffin, who hoped the com-
mission would reverse library
cutbacks. "I'm happy to pay
taxes when they're spent well on
the services that allow for a civi-
lized society... Public services are
even more necessary in tough
times. Do you really want to
reduce Monroe County to an illit-
erate country backwater?"
Other cuts include:
Key West and the Medical
Examiner's Office on Crawl Key.
Programming county work-
stations to shut down automati-
cally at 5:15 p.m. for a savings of
$3,000 annually;
Cutting back outside
lawyers to save $40,000.
Reducing the Emergency
Services budget by $50,000 by
doing away with part-time fire-
academy instructors.
The commission also
approved a proposal to sell a
piece of county-owned property
on Plantation Key used for
Public Works storage. Appraisals
aren't in on the parcel, Frederick
said, but she expects it to be

agent and spokesman for U.S.
Customs and Border Protection
in Miami.
New rules taking effect
Thursday primarily affect peo-
ple who regularly cross the bor-
der with Canada. Previously, an
oral declaration of citizenship
would suffice unless the border
officer suspected there was
need for additional verification.
"Now we're in a phase-
where we want people to get
used to carrying and presenting
documents when they return
from foreign countries," Mann
said.
Travelers arriving in the
U.S. by air already are required
to have a passport "or other
valid travel document" under
rules that went into effect in
January 2007.
"If a U.S. citizen arrives at a
seaport without proper docu-
ments, he will not be denied
entry," Mann said. "But the
process will take longer while
we attempt to determine
whether he is, in fact, who he
claims to be."
"The reasoning is we are try-.
ing to enhance border security
so we know who is arriving."
The process for U.S. boaters
arriving from foreign ports
apparently will not change con-
siderably this week.
"When we know somebody
is coming in from the Bahamas,
we meet them at the dock to
help them tie up," said Daniel
Muelhaupt, assistant manager
at Miami's Dinner Key Marina,
the state's largest marina.
"During conversation, we
remind them that they. need to
report to Customs."
Typically, boaters will await
arrival of border officers or be
told to bring their documenta-
tion to the proper office. In Key
West, the office is in the feder-
al courthouse.
"We don't have any prob-
lems," Muelhaupt said. "About
99.9 percent of the people
thank us for having the contact
information and a telephone
available."
Dinner Key staff have been
trained to be more alert for sus-
picious activity as part of
Operation On Guard, a pro-
gram of the Department of
Homeland Security, Muelhaupt
said.
"Our relationship with
[Customs and Border
Protection] officers has been
outstanding," he said.
A complete list of accept-
able citizenship documents is
available to travelers at ports of
entry and also online at
www.cbp.gov.
Children under age 18
require only proof of citizen-
ship, such as a birth certificate.
"The. Jan. 31 change is a step
forward from the largely sub-
jective standard that allowed
travelers to present an almost
limitless array of documents,"
according to a CBP statement.

Even Sally Beulher, leading
the charge to dissolve Marathon,
said discussing whether Monroe
County would take the area back
to provide municipal services is
likely an exercise in futility.
Friday, the Monroe County
Commission discussed the coun-
ty's ability or willingness to
absorb Marathon back into the
unincorporated area, including
assumption of debt and service
responsibilities.
"I don't know why it's here; it
should be an issue driven by my
petitions, which I submitted
almost 600 to state Rep. Ron
Saunders," Beulher said. "I don't
know why people are afraid of a
referendum. It should be a deci-
sion of the voter."
County Commissioner Mario
Di Gennaro said "we should stay
out of it," even though both
Marathon and Islamorada have
asked 'for county support in get-
ting referendums on a ballot on
whether to dissolve.
"When these two entities
decided to incorporate, was our
opinion asked? No," Commis-
sioner Sylvia Murphy said.
"Therefore, it shouldn't be asked
when they decide to unincorpo-
rate."
Saunders said it would be
mandatory for the county to
absorb the two entities should
their residents vote to dissolve.
"We're not paying a whole lot
of attention to this and I'm curi-
ous to see what the county has to
say," Marathon Mayor Pete
Worthington told county com-
missioners.
Worthington refuted Beulher's
claim she had been working
toward dissolution for a year, say-
ing it has taken her more than
three years to collect 600 signa-
tures.
"We've had two elections in
the last three years, so maybe
people who signed those peti-
tions then have a different feel-
ing today," he said.
The commission voted unani-
mously to take. no action about
unincorporating the two cities.

NIMBYism's no way to
solve housing problem
Critics of building affordable housing on public property are
probably celebrating after hearing about the recent debate held
among Monroe County School Board members.
The question arose this week about screening for teachers as
tenants and/or owners of housing to be built at Sugarloaf,
Trumbo Point and maybe at other school property, including
the old Marathon Manor site.
School Board Chairman Steve Pribramsky proposed rules
that would prohibit alcohol and firearms on the properties.
This, no doubt, reflected the concerns expressed by some
Sugarloaf Key property owners who have fought that project by
making a case for safety, as if having school teachers living
adjacent to a school is somehow a breech of homeland security.
How absurd.
Any efforts to restrict the activities of teachers after hours just
because they may rent or own a house on School District land
is bound to put a chill on this effort to seriously address the
workforce housing crisis.
Despite decades of talk by local governments and lots of
money spent on consultants, there is very little to show of late
that makes it possible for a school teacher, police officer or
EMT to ever own a house in the Keys.
At least the school board is taking some positive steps to find
solutions.
A major watershed came last year when the board voted 3-2
to commit the Trumbo Point property for affordable housing
rather than listen to the siren call for selling off that prime real
estate for luxury condo development.
Some argued the district could have used money from the sale
to acquire other land or refurbish other school property. But that
wouldn't have done a thing to address housing affordability.
During an interview on "Keynoter News" earlier this month,
Superintendent Randy Acevedo noted that Monroe County
schools are not alone in this struggle to retain skilled teachers
and administrators. Other Florida districts are looking at simi-
lar actions.
Fortunately, the board rejected the alcohol ban idea. We urge
the board to stay focused on getting the housing built and turn
a deaf ear to NIMBY critics.
We urge a yes vote, a no vote
Don't forget to vote Tuesday.
There are two important tax issues on the ballot open to all
registered voters, the plus presidential primaries.
We urge a yes vote on flexible spending for schools and a no
on Amendment 1, the supposed state tax relief.

Try to understand the issues, then definitely vote
EDITOR:
I have just completed an exhaustive two-hour
survey of some of my friends. Most of them are
of average or above-average intelligence, which
puts them all on a level above me.
I questioned them on two things. The first
question was "What is ad valorem?" My one
friend said he thought it was part of the female
anatomy, another said it was something you take
for anxiety, and a few others thought it was the
words on a dollar bill. The rest had no idea.
The next question was "What is millage?"
My friend Bob K. thought it was the stuff left
over in the bottom of an empty beer can. Ron
M. said it was something you look for when
buying a car (he said, "Nowadays it's a good
idea to get good millage, what with the price of
gas and all"). A few of them thought it was a
place that made flour, and the rest had no idea.
My point is this. Those words were words on
the sample ballot I received in the mail for the
referendums we are to vote on Tuesday. There
in my hand was one of the most important docu-
ments a person can possess, a document men
and women have fought and died for, to pre-
serve our right to vote, and I had no idea exactly
what it all meant, or exactly what I should or
shouldn't be voting for. Trying to cut through all
that legalese and gobbledygook had my brain
spinning.
Scratching my head I grabbed a dictionary
and some old newspapers and after a few hours
in the bathroom, I felt like I was knowledgeable
enough to go out and conduct my survey
amongst my friends and impress them with my
newfound intelligence. You now know the
results of that survey. I'm sure that many of you
know the correct answers, but I'm also reason-
ably sure that many of you don't know.
I truly believe that many people who vote on
these agendas have no clear idea of what they
are voting for, and I believe my little survey
proved that. It seems that most important docu-
ments are written in a language that only a
select few can understand, and most of us have
to hire one of those select few to interpret them
for us, and usually at a pretty hefty price.
Maybe somebody should write a book on
"Legalese for Dummies," or maybe they already
have, but in the meantime at least put what we
are voting on in plain and simple language so
that people like me can totally understand what
we are voting for.
Once you fully comprehend what it is you
will be voting on, please get out to a polling
place, and exercise your right to vote.

Marathon
Sewer costs are not fairly spread around
EDITOR:
Our street is one of the first to receive the
vacuum pits to collect the effluent from each
home in Marathon's sewer project. We have 18
homes and found that 10 of them will be
required to pay a substantial additional amount
of money to the city because of the placement of
the tap point provided. '
We all expect to pay to hook up from our out-
flow pipe to the property line, however. If the tap
point provided is on the other side of your prop-
erty, you will pay to extend your pipe or the city
pipe to the tap point at $50 per foot plus fees and
any driveway or planting damage this may cause,
as you must stay on your property with your new
pipe.
This is a citywide problem that has not been
explained to the homeowners fully. This is pay-
ing to finish the job the city should have done the
first place.
SThe city has the responsibility to place the tap
pipe on the side of your home where your out-
flow pipe is [located]. To ask the homeowner to
pay to extend beyond that point is paying for the
completion of the sewer that should be shared by
all. This means many homeowners will pay the
additional cost to finish the sewer project. This is
not fair to subsidize those not paying. This
charge should be equal to all and not left to the
*luck of the draw.
Our street found by moving and adding two
pits, we could eliminate a $55,000-plus charge to
10 homes. The added pits would cost about
$12,000. That's a savings of $43,000.
The city says it's fair for these 10 homeown-
ers to pay the full amount and it's not the city's
problem. The city says it's designed the least
expensive system possible. Is it? No.
Life has many pitfalls and many things are
not fair, and this is one of them. I hope you are
not one of the unlucky chosen to pay to complete
the sewer construction to serve your property.
Get informed, go to the engineer's office and
have them give you the cold hard numbers you
will face. You may be happy or may be sur-
prised. In either case, be informed, as the city
and engineers have not been completely open
about the true cost of this system.
When we, the end users, must pay with no
hope of ever recovering any money through
grants or matching funds, the city may receive,
it's wrong. Look at your bank account and
remember all this in November.

Amendment 1 would save us
EDITOR:
The state and governor are
doing every thing possible to stop
the cities and counties from
spending us into the poor house.
An all-or-nothing attitude is not in
the best interests of our citizens.
Taxes in the state have more
than doubled the past six years
and local governments' budgets
have grown faster than the citi-
zens' ability to pay. In the past
three years, taxes have gone up
42 percent and continue to grow
at more than three times the rate
of population growth.
The governor tried to get
more relief. However, he was
not able to get the required 60
percent vote in the Senate. We
need to vote for Amendment 1, a
first step, until the Legislature
meets and continues to get more
tax relief from out-of-control
taxes and spending.
For now, you can receive
some tax relief by voting yes on
constitutional Amendment No. 1
on the back of your ballet. This
will double your homestead
exemption and give you the abil-
ity to transfer your Save Our
Homes benefit to another home
in the state if you are consider-
ing downsizing or moving up.
This also puts a 10 percent
cap on tax increases for non-
homesteaded residences and
business properties keeping rents
from escalating and higher
prices being passed on to con-
sumers.

Amendment 1 is too iffy
EDITOR:
Earlier this year, local gov-
ernments reduced property tax
revenues by $2.3 billion as 'a
result of House Bill 1-B. Here in
Monroe County, this resulted in
a reduction of $4.6 million in
just one fiscal year. And prior to
HB 1-B, the county has consis-
tently reduced the tax rate in
response to rapidly rising proper-
ty values the past four years.
Your vote on property tax
reform Tuesday is a personal and
individual decision, and one that
needs to be made based on all
the facts at hand. Here is what
you need to know:
Will it have an impact on
your pocketbook?
+ What impacts will it have
on your community, state and,
more specifically, education
funding?
The most optimistic estimates
by economic experts show the
average homeowner will save
only $240 per year just 66
cents per day. In fact, some
experts contend these estimated
savings are likely overstated;
instead, the referendum may
simply serve to shift the tax bur-
den and may actually result in
higher taxes for some Florida
taxpayers.
I am deeply concerned by this
proposal for several reasons:
Some analysts fear that
passage of this reform could
cause long-term harm to
Florida's economy by shifting
billions of dollars in tax burden
to businesses, renters and sec-
ond-home owners.
Because the proposal's
long-term impact is uncertain,
we cannot plan for consistent
delivery of essential county serv-
ices over the long term.
+ Local governments are
mandated to fund projects like
increasing costs from Medicaid
and health care for the uninsured.
The problem is, the state does not
always provide us with funding to
help. We are left to find local tax-
payer dollars to fill the void,
severely affecting our ability to
maintain certain services.
Counties are already struggling to
comply with these unfunded man-
dates, and the property tax ballot
initiative is yet another blow.
The recent budget cuts com-
bined with the likely conse-
quences from the constitutional
amendment make it important
that organizations considering
additional property tax changes
such as the Taxation and Budget
Reform Commission, citizen ini-
tiatives or the Legislature recog-
nize that local governments are
still struggling to implement
mandated cuts while planning
for the future.
Although property tax reform
may be desired, any plan to
reform the state's tax structure
should carefully consider the
needs of all Florida's taxpayers
and the overall health of the
state's economy for the future.
Counties have already imple-
mented cuts across the board. If
the constitutional amendment
passes, we will comply with the
will of the voters, however, com-
munities across the state will
continue to struggle.

Turning to the Web and TV
to provide more Keys news
So the senior U.S. senator from Florida
comes to Key West for a public forum and.
what does he learn?
That some people are really upset about jet
noise from Naval Air Station Key West. That
too-often public dialogue here is rude and
accusatory.
And big issues like global warming and
ending the war in Iraq and even the prospects
of oil drilling 50 miles off Key West's shore-
line don't seem to register with the inflamed
public who showed up to complain.
Our Key West reporter, Kyle Teal, got the
chance to interview Florida Sen. Bill Nelson
for TV after his town-hall meeting Jan. 15 at
Old City Hall.
Teal's on-camera questions were
of a far different nature than what
the senator heard for much of the
meeting, touching on offshore oil
drilling, immigration, wastewater
funding and other local issues of
some importance.
His interview aired on Comcast
Cable Channel 5, which carries
Keys local news Monday to
Friday at 6 p.m. and repeating
again at 8 and 9 p.m.
Kyle, along with other Keynoter,

Joining Kyle for stints as TV news anchors
are Alyson Crean, Key West bureau chief;
Karen Quist, Keys Sunday editor; Sam Nissen,
business reporter; and occasional guest stints
by Larry Kahn, Keynoter editor and audio
reports from David Goodhue, editor of The
Reporter.
Our commitment to comprehensive news
coverage from Key Largo to Key West
means we're now providing that information
via our four Keys newspapers: The Florida
Keys Keynoter, Key West Keynoter, The
Reporter and Keys Sunday; plus the five-day-
a-week TV news on cable.
And of course, we have the longest-run-
ning news interview show on Comcast
Channel 5, our "Keynoter News," a half-hour
show each Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Think of
it as a local "Meet the Press" now in its 12th
year.
In addition, we update news regularly on our
two primary news Web sites, www.keynoter
.com and www.keysreporter.com. And Keys
Sunday updates each week with the best
Keyswide mix of business, lifestyle, real
estate, green living and Keys features.
Even better, the archive on Keys Sunday's
Web site is easy to search for previous edi-
tions. Access that at www.keysunday.com.

Loud protests mounted about jet noise over
Stock Island during Nelson's meeting may
have a corollary in Pennsylvania.
Reading an Associated Press report about a
couple fed up with jet noise from nearby
Philadelphia International Airport, I was
struck by their novel protest.
Seems they tried to access the Federal
Aviation Administration's noise-complaint
hotline, but gave up because the voice mail-
box was always full.
So instead, they used roof sealant to write a
protest message on the roof of their house
using seven-foot tall letters to spell out a
crude "(Expletive) U FAA."
Their house lies in the rerouted flight path
for planes taking off from Philadelphia.
The protest came after the FAA made
changes to flight patterns, attempting to
relieve congestion in the heavily used air cor-
ridor between New York and Philadelphia.
Delaware County, which is southwest of
Philadelphia, has filed a lawsuit challenging
the FAA's environmental-impact study for
those changes, saying the FAA violated fed-
eral regulations and arguing that the new
takeoff and landing paths "will only margin-
ally reduce airport delays."
So this may prove that silent protests actu-
ally get more attention than the noisy kind.
We'll see.

Few have clear answers
AMENDMENT / From 1
Roughly 18,000 of the
county's 50,000 homes would
benefit directly from immedi-
ate decreased tax bills if the
measure passes.
"I know where the system
is now; I don't know where
system will be" if Tuesday's
amendment to Save Our
Homes passes, says Bill
Verge, a Key West city com-
missioner.
Real estate agents hope the
measure will accelerate the
market. But support among
agents is not exactly full-boar.
"If this isn't approved, we
don't know what we'll get,"
says Brian Schmitt, owner of
Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real
Estate Co. "Though it is not a
deep enough stimulus package
to revive the real estate market
in Florida."
Many are even less excited
than Schmitt.
The Key Largo Chamber of
Commerce, seeing a muddled
issue, didn't take a stance on
the issue after weighing the
bill's flaws and benefits.
"This whole issue needs to
be addressed properly [the
state Legislature] just cobbled
this thing together," chamber
President Jackie Harder said.
"Is it short-term reform at the
expense of something more
meaningful?
"I'm torn in different direc-
tions."
Even State Rep. Ron
Saunders who spearheaded
initial efforts to cap tax
increases for businesses and
snowbirds has "mixed feel-
ings."
If it passes, Saunders says
he fears the Legislature won't
address additional changes
next year. If Amendment 1
fails, he says he is not con-
vinced the Legislature can
come together to craft a better
plan next year.
Verge is not alone in leaning
toward the devil he knows
'Portable' homestead benefit
If Amendment 1 is approved, some or all of a homeowner's Save
Our Homes reduced property assessment can be transferred to
another homestead property.
Current 'Save Our Homes' property
Market value: $500,000
Assessed value: $100,000
Save Our Homes benefit:
$400,000
Current assessment is below
market or "just" value because
Save Our Homes limits annual
increase to 3%
Market value: $750,000
Assessed value: $350,000
Assessed value is calculated by
taking the new home's market value
and subtracting the previous home's
Save Our Homes benefit amount:
$750,000 $400,000
= $350,000
rather than the one he does not.
County Commissioner
Dixie Spehar feels she has a
slam-dunk case one that
condemns Amendment 1.
"Either we're going to have
to increase taxes or reduce
services," says Spehar, who
faces slicing off public pro-
grams because of an unrelated
legislative mandate to reduce
taxes.
Spehar sits on the Florida
Association of Counties
board,-which sees the state
increasingly trying to pass
along expenses to local gov-
ernments. The group says
counties are already overbur-
dened with unfunded state

mandates.
Spehar and the association
are not alone in fearing
reduced tax revenues. Verge
and Saunders both said they
worry about reduced services
if Amendment 1 passes. And
statewide, opponents say the
measure would eliminate
money for schools, police and
fire rescue.
Karl Borglum, assistant
property appraiser in Monroe
County, says fears of reduced
services caused by this meas-
ure are misplaced.
"People don't understand
municipal finances," he says.
"By reducing values of some
properties, you will raise the
taxes of those who own the
other properties."
Homesteaded property
owners in the Keys would save
a combined $3.75 million,
according to the Property
Appraiser's Office. But assum-
ing no changes in spending by
taxing districts, the whole
amount would simply be
absorbed by other taxpayers -
second-home owners and busi-
nesses, according to Borglum.
"The reality of the entire
tax base is, if you shrink the
tax base, you raise the remain-
der's taxes. The only thing
that reduces taxes is reduced
spending. Period."

Schools vote up Tuesday
Referendum
would renew
flex spending
By ALYSON CREAN
acrean@keynoter.com
Monroe County School
District Superintendent Randy
Acevedo calls the flexible-fund-
ing issue on Tuesday's ballot a
no-brainer because it doesn't
increase taxes. But the results of
a no vote could be tough on the
district's pocketbook
Nearly four years ago,
Monroe County voters
approved by 67 percent a refer-
endum that allows the School
District to use half a mill in
property taxes raised for capital
improvements for operations.
The School Board, with the
endorsement of numerous civic
organizations, is asking voters
to renew it for another four
years.
The half mill amounts to
about 50 cents per $1,000
assessed value on Keys proper-
ty. That adds up to about $13.7
million annually, Acevedo said.
If voters say no, "a lot of that
would have to come from per-
sonnel. It would have a direct
effect on staffing," Acevedo
said. "And it would also impact
our capital program because our
ability to bond money would be
hampered significantly."
School Board Chairman
Steven Pribramsky said it's
important to pass the flexible-
funding renewal, but added that
even a no vote would not devas-
tate the district.
"If it fails, there is an outline
of a plan B in a file some-
where," he said. "Kids are
going to get educated."
Pribramsky Said the flexible
funding is a key factor in reduc-
ing teacher turnover.
"'If it's not passed, it will
keep us in the predicament of
high teacher turnover,"
Pribramsky said. "It's important
we have the flexible funding to
continue on this good path
we're on."
But both men feel voters
understand the referendum is
good. It doesn't mean new
taxes, but it does give the
School Board the ability to
spend money on the most
important needs of the students,
they say.
Acevedo said his biggest
concern is twofold: That some
voters might confuse the refer-
endum with a statewide ques-
tion on property taxes, and
uninformed voters.
"Once you're informed, it's a
no-brainer," Acevedo said. "But
some people are becoming con-
fused with mailings they're
receiving on the statewide tax-
reform question."
He hopes voters understand
the statewide constitutional
amendment that would address
property taxes is a separate
question from the school flexi-
ble-funding referendum.
Many of Monroe County's
49,669 registered voters have
already cast their votes.
As of Friday, 1,470 people
had voted early and 3,191
absentee ballots had rolled in,

DCA chief
arrives Monday
Tours planned
of affordable
housing sites
Keynoter Staff
Tom Pelham, secretary of the
state's Department of
Community Affairs, is heading to
the Keys this week to get a first-
hand look at the affordable hous-
ing problem in Monroe County.
Pelham's tentative schedule
after his arrival Monday morning
starts with a meeting with Key
West Mayor Morgan McPherson.
After that, city officials will take
him on a tour of the city's afford-
able housing sites.
Tuesday, according to Pelham
spokesman Jon Peck, city offi-
cials will take him on a tour of
Trumbo Point. The city-owned
parcel is at the heart of a lot of the
city's plans for workforce hous-
ing.
"The purpose here is to listen
and learn," Peck said, "to take a
look at affordable housing issues
and discuss the issue in trying to
help the city and the county with
affordable housing."
Pelham, appointed by Gov.
Charlie Crist in 2006, likes to
visit communities to better
understand issues that have a
state impact, Peck said.
"He has found that when he
goes into a community to see
their concerns, it clarifies the pic-
ture a lot."

Storm center gets new chief
Keynoter Staff
The new head of the National
Hurricane Center will not even
have to change offices.
Bill Read, 58, has been occu-
pying Max Mayfield's old office
since he came to Miami last
August to serve as the Tropical
Prediction Center's acting deputy
director.
Ed Rappaport had been acting
as the center director since July
but did not apply for the perma-
nent position. Rappaport is
expected to remain as deputy
director.
"Bill has what it takes be the
nation's Hurricane Center direc-
tor," said Conrad C. Lautenbacher,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration administrator.
"He's spent 30 years of his career
as a weather professional with
NOAA dedicated to protecting
lives from severe weather, much of
it hurricanes and tropical storms."
Read previously served as
director of the National Weather
Service office covering Houston
and Galveston, a hurricane-prone
area, noted a NOAA statement.
"Read and his team were at
the forefront in July 2003 as
Hurricane Claudette made land-
fall on the Texas coast. He also
was part of the Hurricane Liaison
Team at the National Hurricane
Center in Miami when Hurricane
Isabel came ashore on the Outer
Banks of North Carolina...in
September 2003."
"Bill brings a wealth of expe-
rience in meteorology and man-
agement to this position, said
Jack Hayes, director of NOAA's
National Weather Service. "He
has a clear understanding of the
needs of staff, the emergency
management community and the
public in fulfilling our mission of
saving lives and property."
While a meteorologist in the
U.S. Navy, Read took part in some
hurricane-hunter flights. He joined
the Weather Service in 1977.
Read recently told the Miami"
Herald that if promoted to the top
job at the hurricane center, he
would strive to follow the exam-
ple set by retired director Max
Mayfield.
"I like a lot of Max's philoso-
phy, which is to be calm in the
heat of the battle," Read said.
NOAA named Bill Proenza to
follow Mayfield as center direc-
tor following Mayfield's retire-
ment last year but Proenza
stepped down from the post after
clashing with agency officials
about spending priorities.
About half the staff at the
Miami center reportedly signed a
petition saying they disagreed
with Proenza on key issues, and
that public controversy was ham-
pering their ability to focus on
hurricane forecasting.

DEP says sewers
are county's onus
By ALYSON CREAN
acrean@keynoter.com
A Tallahassee visit by coun-
ty officials dealt the death knell
on a proposal floated by County
Commissioner Sonny McCoy
to put the state Department of
Environmental Protection in
charge of Monroe County's
sewer projects.
"We came out of this meet-
ing with an understanding that
we need to have a truly compre-
hensive wastewater plan, and
that the county will be adminis-
tering this program," Commis-
sioner Mario Di Gennaro said.
McCoy, Di Gennaro, County
Attorney Suzanne Hutton and
Growth Management Director
Drew Trivette met Thursday
with Rep. Stan Mayfield and
DEP Secretary Michael Sole.
Mayfield heads the state
House's Environment and
Natural Resources Council and
is vice chairman of the Policy
and Budget Council; both jobs
hold the purse strings to poten-
tial sewer funding for the Keys.
"The state officials intend to
deal with one entity the
county," McCoy, said Friday
during a special meeting of the
County Commission. He was
reading from a statement draft-
ed by Hutton.
On Jan. 16, McCoy pro-
posed a resolution that would
have put DEP in charge of
administering the sewering of
unincorporated Monroe County
as well as coordinating efforts
of the municipalities. The idea
never got off the ground; it was
pulled from the meeting agen-
da.
A letter to McCoy from Sole
that day may have influenced
McCoy into removing the item.
The resolution, Sole wrote,
"is an inappropriate reflection
of the respective responsibility
of the state and the county."
It's the county's job to over-
see its own sewer projects, he
wrote, adding that the county
has a looming deadline to finish
the job. The county also is
charged with being the informa-
tional portal to the state for all
eight Keys sewer authorities.
"Regardless of the availabil-
ity of state or federal funding,"
Sole wrote, "it is the responsi-
bility of the applicable local
government leaders to generate
the resources necessary to meet
the July 1, 2010, deadline."
The proposed resolution was
meant to put an objective entity
in charge of deciding which
projects get completed first
based on funding, according to
McCoy. Responsibility and
authority for sewer work in the
Keys has been fragmented
among a number of local and
county agencies whose priori-
ties differ, resulting in the "pro-
liferation of small, less than
efficient systems."
The Florida Keys Aqueduct
Authority oversees the actual
construction of projects in unin-
corporated Monroe County
except for in Key Largo, which
has its own sewer board.

City Council: Too late for sewer changes
Payment equity
among issues
for homeowners
By RYAN McCARTHY
mncartldketynoter.com
Neighbors concerned about
the city of Marathon's sewer-
project engineering plans did not
receive the support they hoped
for at the City Council's regular
meeting Tuesday.
Residents of Anglers Drive
South off Sombrero Beach Road
feel a lack of vacuum pits in the
plans has resulted in 10 of the 18
homes on their block having less
-than-optimal connections to
hook up to the system.
Resident Jack Burley. said
placing two additional vacuum
pits on the street would eliminate
more than $50,000 having to be
paid to the city by the homeown-
ers. Vacuum pits are used to col-
lect effluent and cost approxi-
mately $6,000 each.
Representatives of Weiler
Engineering, which designed the
system, said they were following
council direction to provide the
most cost-effective system.
"Obviously I'm a little per-
plexed at the direction of council.
They're not understanding they
are putting a terrible burden on
the people of Marathon. I went
over and paid my $5,532 today,
so I have knuckled under to the
demand on our street," Burley
said, referring to the city's quote
to run 92 feet of pipe for him.
"I'm concerned about what is
going to happen in the rest of the
town."
Anglers Drive is one of the
first streets to begin receiving
sewers in Marathon.
At issue, Councilman Don
Vasil said, is whether individual
homeowners should foot the bill
for these improvements. He said
public sentiment he received was
overwhelmingly in favor of the
Overall system absorbing the cost.
"I'm hoping Anglers Drive is
atypical, but when we have a
neighborhood where less than 50
percent [of homeowners] have
optimum conditions, that to me is
unacceptable. The impression I
got from council was not to revis-
it this and based on that I let it
go," Vasil told the Keynoter.
But Councilman Mike Cinque
said Weiler followed the direction
of council and he feels the city
has done a good job trying to
accommodate homeowners
requests.
"We don't even have the
money to do the whole city; we
can't be spending more money to
make it more efficient for every-
one," Cinque said. "If you live on
an acre lot, you're going to have a
longer run; what we said is we're
going to get this to every proper-
ty line."
Councilwoman Marilyn
Tempest echoed Cinque's senti-
ments.
, "We will all pay a different
amount to connect to the sewer.
There's no way I would take a
number out of the air and say
everyone connecting to the sewer
will pay that amount," Tempest
said.
Community Services Director
Susie Thomas said it's late to
change the plans for an entire
street, while former engineering
consultant Reese Williamson,
speaking on behalf of Anglers
Drive residents, said the disparity
in costs is too great to ignore.
No bones about it: No dogs
Council nixes
allowing hounds
at restaurants
By RYAN McCARTHY
rmccarthy@keynoter.com
The Marathon City Council,
meeting in regular session
Tuesday, took the following
actions:
Voted down, by a 2-1 mar-
gin, an ordinance regarding dog-
friendly restaurants.
The ordinance was to provide
an exemption from state law to
allow dogs in outdoor areas of
public food service establish-
ments during hours of operation.
Vice Mayor Chris Bull was
absent and Councilman Mike
Cinque, as a restaurant owner,
abstained.
Councilwoman Marilyn
Tempest proposed the ordinance,
saying several residents hoping
to see it passed had approached
her. Tempest was the only vote
in favor of the ordinance., :.
"I could find no similar
statute for any other animal,"
City Attorney Jimmy Morales
said. He explained the ordinance
was a pilot project set to expire
in 2009, which had to be
approved at the local level.
"I don't want to walk in and
pay $100-something for a meal
and have some dog licking my
shoe," Marathon resident John
Nord said.
"I realize a lot of people bring
[dogs] to the outside restaurant;
most people who have spoken to
me have the same feeling" Nord
echoed," Councilman Don Vasil
said.
Unanimously approved a
motion by Vasil concerning
spending oversight.
Vasil said he feels the current
system is adequate, but wants
council to be better informed by
receiving a monthly check regis-
ter for purchases under $10,000.
Postponed a scheduled per-
formanfce evaluation for City
Manager Mike Puto until an
hour prior to the Feb. 12 regular
meeting, 4:30 p.m. at the
Marathon Government Center.
Approved two resolutions
for a development agreement
and conditional use permit for
Anchor Light LLC. The proper-
ty is at 11699 Overseas
Highway.
The proposal is to build six
two-bedroom units as converted
from seven existing units, as
well' as two affordable units con-
structed offsite or the equivalent
cash donation be made to the
city.
Unanimously approved a
resolution accepting an addition-
al $100,000 in wastewater fund-
ing grants money from the
Florida Department of
Environmental Protection.
Unanimously approved a
resolution amending the city's
fiscal year 2007-08 budget.
According to the resolution,
Marathon Fire Rescue has the
opportunity to provide EMT
training for seven volunteers and
obtain $10,500 in grant money
to fund the project.
"How do you address the issue
where you have 10 homes facing
$5,500 charges versus installing
three more pits at $20,000.
There's a $30,000 differential just
in that small area," Williamson
said.
But as Weiler Project Manager
Ed Castle and Cinque pointed
out, the system absorbing the cost
would essentially put the burden
of cost on less-affluent residents
who have much smaller lots and
stand to pay minimal connection
fees as a result.
Grassy Key resident John
Whalton said he would not want
to pay more money to subsidize
another resident's connection fee.
Burley said it works both ways.
"I'm not very happy or anx-
ious to spend $5,500 to subsidize
other folks either," Burley told
the Keynoter. "I spent that to con-
struct a sewer line that should
have been on the other side of my
house anyway."
City staff also pointed out the
number of public meetings held
to gather public input and said
residents have three days ;from
the time they are notified con-
struction is to begin on their street
to request changes.
While several residents said
the city's policy of hanging a
notice on a home's front door is
inadequate, Vasil said he feels the
city provided adequate notice.

Keys truly in a fog
Rare weather
event envelops
Monroe County
By KEVIN WADLOW
Senior Staff Writer
kwadlow@keynoter.com
Thursday dawned with the
Florida Keys waking up in a fog.
That may not qualify as news
in most places, but it does in the
Keys.
"We average less than one
dense-fog incident a year" at Key
West International Airport, said
Chip Kasper, a National Weather
Service senior forecaster in Key
West.
"We hadn't had a good one in
a few years" before Thursday, he
said. "Visibility got down to a
half-mile in the dark of night."
Fog forms when air near the
ground cools, reaching a temper-
ature (the dew point) where mois-
ture in the air condenses and
becomes visible.
"Fog is a cloud at the surface,
that's all," Kasper said. "In the
Keys, the condensation level usu-
ally is 2,500 feet above the sur-
face. But when we do get fog, this
is the perfect time of year."
Cooler water, clear skies and
calm winds lower the dew point,
Kasper said.
Keys' geography not far
from the tropics, and in the trade
winds usually keep atmos-
pheric conditions warm and
breezy enough to prevent fog for-
mation, said the forecaster.
The fog that briefly blanketed
the Keys this week was sea fog,
moving south over the islands. "It
forms over the sea when a very
moist parcel of air gathers up
enough moisture to leave conden-
sation at the surface," Kasper said.
"Fog is very difficult to fore-
cast anywhere," he said. "Down
here, it's really difficult."
FEMA: City must pay up
Agency says
$5,3M overpaid
for hurricane
By KYLE TEAL
kteal@keynoter.com
Key West owes the Federal
Emergency Management
Agency $5.32 million stemming
from hurricane overpayments,
but it doesn't appear the city
will get off the hook for the bill.
Thursday, city officials met
with U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-
Lehtinen in Washington to dis-
cuss the, debt, which stems from
funding -provided after
Hurricane Irene in 1999.
"We want FEMA to give us
some reconsideration for the
whole thing," City Manager Jim
Scholl said. "They went through
an audit process but their audi-
tors didn't have all of the
records that they felt were nec-
essary to justify the FEMA
reimbursement they gave us."
Hurricane Irene flooded the
island, damaging its sewer sys-
tem in the process. According to
Scholl, the last city sewer analy-
sis was completed 10 years
before the storm, making it an
inaccurate representation of the
sewer system's condition.
Now the city is working to
"gather up" all the records and
details of the sewer system it
can find, Scholl said.
"We want FEMA to give us
some reconsideration for the
whole thing," he said.
FEMA provided Key West
with $7.1 million in public
assistance but decided the
$5.323 million worth of sewer
damage wasn't from the hurri-
cane.
Worst-case scenario: The
city must, Scholl said.
"We don't have the money
available to pay it all at once,"
he said. "If we have to pay it
back, it would have to be under
some sort of terms."
Despite the city's appeals,
FEMA wants the funding. Ros-
Lehtinen is urging FEMA to
complete a review of the appeal
and information.
"With tax revenues drying up
for cities and counties across the
nation due to the economic
slowdown, there is even more
impetus for FEMA to agree to
Key West's appeal," Ros-
Lehtinen said in a prepared
statement. "The flooding that
Irene caused and the erosion
caused by the seawater can
wreak havoc on any infrastruc-
ture system and Key West's is
no different."

Contractor brings in Ringer
Jacksonville tug
hauls down crane
for bridge work
By KEVIN WADLOW
Senior Staff Writer
kwadlow@keynoter.com
To reach to the sky, builders
of the new Jewfish Creek
Bridge brought in The Ringer
this week.
The largest construction
crane used on the U.S. 1
rebuilding project on the 18-
Mile Stretch went to work late
Wednesday, lifting massive
girders to the highest point of
the arched bridge.
Named for its base "rota-
tional bezel" ring mounted on a
large barge, the crane can use
its 240-foot boom to lift up to
310 tons.
Girders that form the base of
the span crossing Jewfish
Creek, 65 feet above the navi-
gational channel, weigh around
100 tons each, said Patti Jones,
spokeswoman for the main
contractor Granite Construc-
tion.
"When you see it, it's an
impressive machine," Jones
said.
The large metal ring distrib-
utes the crane's load, allowing
for greater lifting capacities
than traditional cranes.
Keynoter photo by KEVIN WADLOW
The new 18-Mile Stretch is taking shape with the bridge
progressing quickly and new
under way.
The Ringer will be used at
Jewfish Creek through mid-
February, barring weather
delays. Its start was delayed by
high winds earlier this week.
"Granite decided this was
the most efficient way to do
this part of the job to minimize
the impacts on the traveling
public," Jones said.
Cranes that have been at
work at the job- site north of
mile marker 107 on the Stretch
include two large machines
with 180-foot booms. While
they have the lifting capacity to

lanes and a barrier already
handle the concrete-and-steel
girders, some more than 150
feet in length, the cranes need a
place to park.
"To do the lifting on the six
supports over the creek itself,
the only place to put [the
shore-mounted] cranes would
be on -the drawbridge itself,"
Jones said.
Using the large crane on its
barge 85 by 140 feet with a
5-foot draft will keep traffic
moving over the existing
bridge with fewer delays, she
said.
"There will be a couple
nights when the Intracoastal
Waterway will be blocked"
through Jewfish Creek, Jones
said. "When the barge is in
position, it pretty well fills the
whole channel."
Notices to Mariners have
been posted by the U.S. Coast
Guard. The first channel clos-
ing is planned Feb. 8.
The Ringer was brought
down from Jacksonville by tug
for the Jewfish Creek job.
North of Jewfish Creek,
contractors recently installed
about three miles of concrete
median barrier that is the final
median, intended to prevent
head-on crashes. The median
will be painted a light green.
The southbound lane on that
stretch is essentially what the
finished road will look like in
terms of lane width and the
median, Jones said. More sur-
facing work will take place but
the dimensions will not
change.

Board explores
housing rules
Alcohol use
among policies
being explored
By KRISTEN BURNIE
kbttunie@keysreporter.com
Schools staff that purchases
affordable homes built on
school properties could be sub-
ject to strict rules that determine
how long they can keep their
homes, who they can sell to and
even how they must behave in
them.
Tuesday, the Monroe County
School Board discussed how to
manage housing projects for
teachers and other school
employees.
On Jan. 8, the Monroe
County Planning Commission
OK'd an ordinance that allows
the School District to build so-
called workforce housing on
school properties. School Board
members say they believe pro-
viding affordable housing will
result in less teacher turnover.
Tuesday, board members said
it's their responsibility to ensure
such homes remain occupied by
school workers.
"Twenty years from now,
how is this going to be moni-
tored?" Chairman Steven
Pribramsky asked. "We need
very precise policies in place to
make sure teachers get first
dibs."
The board decided that teach-
ers who buy a housing unit and
then quit working for the district
will have to sell within five
years.
Exceptions will be made for
teachers who have taught
Florida public schools for 30
years or worked for 15 years in
Keys public schools before
retirement.
Pribramsky also proposed
prohibiting alcohol and firearms
on the properties. Other board
members said that's unrealistic.
"I worked at Marathon High
School for a number of years,"
board member John Dick said,
"and when I got home on
Saturday, I needed to have a
beer."
"You don't have a lot of wig-
gle room to exercise philosophi-
cal values here," board member
Andy Griffiths said. "We'll get
sued."
Board members agreed that
all residents of school-based
housing, homeowner or not, will
be subject to the same back-
ground checks as teachers.
The first housing project is
planned for the grounds of
Sugarloaf School. The type of
homes to be built hasn't been
decided.
Frozen state fund
The School District will keep
most of its money for operations
and construction, about $70 mil-
lion, in an account at First State
Bank.
Superintendent Randy
Acevedo reported on the status
of district money deposited in a
state-run investment fund that
was frozen in December after
hundreds of local governments
withdrew billions of dollars.
The district had about $27.9
million in the fund, but with-
drew most of that on Dec. 21
and placed it in a First State
account that Finance Director
Kathy Reitzel says is well-
insured.
Because First State belongs to
a pool of about a dozen Florida
banks accredited as public
depositories, the $70 million is
backed by the pool and also by
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, Reitzel said.
"It sounds like a lot of
money, but that includes all of
our general fund, operations,
capital and money to pay debt,"
she said. "That money goes very
quickly. By the end of June we
will have spent most of that bal-
ance."
About $4 million remains
frozen in the state-run fund,
Reitzel said.
Hearings on closings
The board scheduled three
public meetings to discuss clos-
ing a school in Key West:.
Feb. 4 at 6:30 p.m. in the
Sigsbee Elementary School

Wheeler issue to return?
The TDC board
meets on Tuesday
in Middle Keys
By SAM NISSEN
snissen@keynoter.com
The Monroe Tourist Develop-
ment Council meets Tuesday -
its first meeting after an outpour-
ing of community support to save
the council's director.
Community tourism and lodg-
ing leaders came out to
December's meeting to stave off
an attempt to fire Harold
Wheeler, the TDC director. His
firing is not on the agenda for
Tuesday but the council will con-
sider changing a rule that kept his
firing from being voted in
December.
The then-chairman and cur-
rent board member Todd Firm
exercised a rule to bar an agenda
item proposed by Key West
Mayor Morgan McPherson, also
a board member.
Under the new rule, any board
member could add something to
the agenda before it is finalized.
The rule change would also allow
members to add non-voting items
on the day of the meeting if six of
the board's nine members
approve.
The proposed rule change, if
passed, would not be the first
such measure enacted after
McPherson did not get his way.
- McPherson was booted from
the TDC last summer after failing
to show up for the board's meet-
ings. He has since been reinstat-
ed, and current TDC rules allow
more absenteeism by elected offi-
cials.
The council is slated to con-
sider measures to increase inter-
national tourism, among other
items of regular business. In
December, board member Mario
Di Gennaro, a county commis-
sioner and now the TDC chair-
man, asked Wheeler to inform
him of the council's efforts to
attract international tourism.
Early indications from the end
of 2007 show a slight increase in
foreign tourism, Wheeler said.
This week's meeting might be
one of the last for board member
Jim Rhyne, who filled a vacant
term in September. Rhyne cannot
seek his expiring seat because of
rule changes about who can rep-
resent which region of the county,
another contentious issue brought
up at December's meeting.
"I was happy to come in and
help out," he said. "For one rea-
son or.another that doesn't appear
to be what was wanted."
The meeting is scheduled for
10 a.m. Tuesday at Marathon's
Florida Keys Mosquito Control
District building.

address objections to a proposed
law that were issued by the state
Department of Community Affairs.
The meeting begins at 3 p.m.
at the Harvey Government Center
in Key West.
In September, the County
Commission unanimously
approved an ordinance aimed at
preserving the county's working
waterfront and public access to
the water.
That approval included two
last-minute addendums that gar-
nered objections from the South
Florida Regional Planning
Commission and, in December,
DCA. Because Monroe County is
designated an Area of State
Critical Concern, DCA must
approve all land use-related issues.
The working-waterfront ordi-
nance provides incentives for
owners of waterfront parcels to
retain existing uses, especially
related to commercial fishing.
The controversial addendums
were introduced by attorney
David Paul Horan, who repre-
sents a group of former commer-
cial fishermen who recently pur-
chased a huge chunk of the Stock
Island waterfront.
The added language made
provisions for new hotels on the
commercial waterfront some-
thing specifically not allowed in
the county's land-use plan.
At the time, Growth
Management Director Drew
Trivette and county Planning
Commissioner Sherry Popham
warned against allowing the add-
ons. Both warned the commis-
sion they had not been scruti-
nized publicly as had the rest of
the ordinance.
County Commissioner Sylvia
Murphy said she worried it set a
dangerous precedent to allow
developers and their attorneys to
push through additions without
going through the entire public
process and review.
In October, the Regional
Planning Commission voiced its
concerns, questioning why an
ordinance aimed at protecting the
waterfront would include perma-
nent residential development and
new hotel rooms.
"It is not clear [how water-
dependent] uses would be con-
served if residential ... and com-

Attorney Coleman
reportedly leaving
Monroe County officials may
have stumbled upon an unexpect-
ed budget savings Friday when
Commissioner Dixie Spehar dis-
closed that attorney Jerry
Coleman might end his contract
with the county at the end of the
month.
Coleman has been working as
a housing consultant for Monroe
County since July 2005.
Coleman was not available for
comment Friday, but County
Attorney Suzanne Hutton told
the commission during a special
budget workshop that she, too,
understands Coleman intends to
step down. -
Commissioner Mario Di
Gennaro said Coleman had told
him the same.
In December, the County
Commission directed Hutton to
put the brakes on Coleman's
billing after Commissioner Sylvia
Murphy suggested ending the
contract as a cost-saving measure.
Coleman's advice on housing
was costing the county $350 an
hour and was set to-rise to $500
an hour at the first of the year.
His fees have totaled more
than $400,000 since 2005.
Coleman came under fire for
advising the commissioners on
issues beyond his purview,
including questions on jet noise
and land use.
He has drafted, during his
tenure, a number of ordinances
advancing affordable housing in
the county.
The County Commission met
Friday to explore a series of sug-
gestions to pare up to $4 million
from the county budget.
mercial facilities such as public
lodging establishments are per-
mitted in the Maritime Industries
District," said a council memo.
Other objections that the
County Commission will likely
address next week include:
The proposed ordinance
does not define phrases such as
"evolving community character,"
"public values" and "reasonable
limits."
The policy calling for regu-
latory incentives lacks meaning
because it does not provide spe-
cific incentives, nor does it out-
line criteria that would "ensure
continued commercial, recre-
ational and public access."
The proposal does not
clearly define "traditional mar-
itime activities."
The ordinance does not
address "potential water-supply
issues for the proposed increase
in density and intensity."

New slips open at Yacht Harbor marina
Mayor rebukes
Levy on oversight
of pavilion project
By KRISTEN BURNIE
kbumie@keysreporter.com
A dozen newly renovated boat
slips at Plantation Key Yacht
Harbor are accepting new boats,
and are also garnering higher
dockage fees from boat owners.
At a meeting on Thursday,
Parks and Recreation Director
John Sutter asked the Islamorada
Village Council to open the new
slips and temporarily charge ves-
sels monthly dockage of $25 per
foot including utilities.
The council approved the rate,
which does not apply to boats
already docked at the marina,
and gave Sutter 45 days to com-
plete a comprehensive marina
business plan.
Once the business plan is
complete, new rates will apply.
Council members had blasted
Sutter's original business plan in
December, saying it lacked detail
and flexibility, but at Thursday's
meeting they offered extensive
praise for a draft of Sutter's new
plan.
"It's really wonderful," Vice
Mayor Cathi Hill said of the
draft. "Actually, it goes above
and beyond what I anticipated
even when I was criticizing the
original plan."
The council has repeatedly
said the village will not subsidize
the marina, which is in the midst
of a $3.9 million renovation, and
that Sutter's plan should address
"running the marina like a busi-
ness."
The marina renovation
includes restoring the facility to
its full 92-slip capacity, installing
a new water main, a fire protec-
tion system, fuel tanks, lighting,
electric, telephone and cable
service.,
Bathroom brouhaha
The council also heard a
report from Ron Levy on plans
for new bathrooms and a com-
munity room near the marina at
Founders Park. Levy a former
village councilman who's a can-
didate for the council this year -
was hired as project manager for
the marina pavilion.
Levy said significant design
changes the council wanted,
including providing access for
disabled persons, have been
made, and the project was opened
for construction bids, though the
revised plans were not brought to
the council for review or
approval.
Responding to Mayor Dave
Boerner asking about total proj-
ect costs, Levy said he was
unsure how much has been spent
on the project to date. He told
council members they would
need to ask Finance Director
Alice Filinovich for an accurate
cost estimate.
"Estimated probable cost is a
normal part of project manage-
ment," Boemer said. "I'm cer-
tainly glad the fire station is
being handled by a professional,"
he said, referring to a village fire
station construction project,
which a design services firm is
managing.
Dave Feder, president of
Islamorada Community
Entertainment, which hosts pro-
ductions at the amphitheater at
Founders Park, spoke in support
of Levy's management and blast-
ed the council, saying it has
"micromanaged' the project and
the pavilion has become a
"reflective nightmare for sound
and a visual eyesore."
"Shame on you Mr. Mayor,"
Feder said, "How dare you com-
pare this to the debacle of the fire
station?"
Council members said they
had caught design flaws, such as
noncompliance with handi-
capped accessibility codes, that
had to be fixed.
The council will decide
whether to approve a pavilion
construction contract on Feb. 14.

Affordable-housing buyers can avoid fee -
Trust to be
reimbursed $53K
for Woods Corner
By KRISTEN BURNIE
kbunnie@keysreporter.com
A deal between local gov-
ernments and a nonprofit
developer could let people
who buy new Woods Corner
housing units in Islamorada
off the hook for a total of
$53,000 in fees.
Thursday, the Village
Council voted 5-0 to pledge
the first $53,000 generated by
a different set of fees for
expanding buildings in the vil-
lage to the Middle Keys
Community Land Trust, the
nonprofit organization that
built the townhouse units as
affordable housing at Woods
Corner on Plantation Key.
The money will be used to
pay back a loan the Middle
Keys Community Land Trust
hopes to get from Monroe
County so it can avoid adding
the Islamorada impact fees to
the cost of the Woods Corner
units.
At a Jan. 10 meeting, the
Middle Keys Community
Land Trust asked the Isla-
morada village council to
waive the impact fees, but vil-
lage attorneys said that would
be illegal.
Council members said they
would not use money from the
general fund to pay the fees
because it would put the burden
on all Islamorada taxpayers.
The council decided it
would be willing to cover the
fee for Woods Corner with
money generated by a recently
approved ordinance, so-called
inclusionary zoning, which
requires property owners to
build affordable housing or
pay fees for expanding homes
and businesses but that the
ordinance has yet to generate
any money.
Mayor Dave Boerner has
been working with the County
Commission to create a rare
partnership between the two
governments to take the bur-
den off Woods Corner buyers.
At Thursday's meeting,
Boerner reported that the
Monroe County Workforce
Housing Taskforce, on which
he and Middle Keys Land
Trust Administrator Rick
Casey serve, recently recom-
mended the County
Commission approve a
$53,000 loan to the land trust
to cover the Islamorada impact
fees.
For Monroe County, inclu-
sionary zoning has generated
$173,000 that has been set
aide for affordable housing
and has remained untouched
for years, Boerner said. The
loan would be made from that
fund.
The loan is on the agenda of
the County Commission's
February meeting.
"They still have the final
say," Boerner said. "I have a
very good working relation-
ship with the county commis-
sioners. I don't see any per-
ceived problem with it
because it's a win-win for
everybody."
Under the proposed agree-
ment, the land trust will have
one year to pay Monroe
County back, but Boerner said
he projects that Islamorada's
inclusionary zoning ordinance
will generate enough for the
village to give -the $53,000 to
the trust by the end of the
summer.
"This is what the inclusion-
ary zoning ordinance was sup-
posed to do," he said. "It's
working."

Agents seeing bounce
High-end homes
showing rebound
for coming year
By KRISTEN BURNIE
Kbumie@keysreporter.com
2007 was a tough year for the
real estate nationwide, but some
real estate agents say the Keys'
unique attributes have helped sta-
bilize local sales and could help
the Keys rebound from the slump
more quickly than other areas in
Florida.
A'high percentage of expen-
sive homes, proximity to water-
front and limited inventory have
some agents reporting increases
in sales in 2007, while others say
they've already seen increased
activity in 2008. -
Some Keys real estate agents
say sales of high-end homes
helped stabilize the market last
year.
Data provided by Marr
Properties and American Carib-
bean Real Estate Marketing
Director Tracy Larson show that
the average sales price of land-
locked single-family homes listed
with the Multiple Listing Service
in the Upper Keys dropped more
than 15 percent in 2007, down
from $476,397 in 2006 to
$403,907.
But in the same year, the price

'Best'
Mariners parent
makes the list
for eighth year
Baptist Health.South Florida
made the llth annual "100 Best
Companies to Work For" list
compiled by Fortune magazine.
Baptist is the parent organi-
zation of Mariners Hospital of
Tavemier.
The full list and related sto-
ries appear in the Feb. 4 issue,

Baptist Health, which ranked
94th, is the only Florida-based

Baptist Chief Executive
Officer Brian Keeley said that
last year, the organization
launched what it calls its Great

bringing together its leadership
to identify issues of importance
to employees.
In a prepared statement, the
company said it resulted in con-

'We've already seen a pickup in calls'
REAL ESTATE / From 22
homes remained relatively stable.
It dropped less than 6 percent,
down to about $1,97 million from
about $2 million in 2006.
The data show that sales of
high-end homes stayed strong.
The number of canalfront and
lakefront homes sold actually
increased to 250 in 2007 from
193 in 2006, while 43 open-water
homes sold in 2007, only seven
fewer than the 50 that sold in
2006.
Compare that to a 13 percent
drop in the number of landlocked
single-family homes sold, a total
of 112 in 2007 compared to 129
in 2006, and Larson said it's easy
to see that "the higher-priced
properties are moving consider-
ably more."
Joy Martin, a broker with
Marr Properties in Key Largo,
said buyers of high-end homes
likely felt less affected by the
struggling economy.
"Certainly you find that the
buyer of the expensive home is
far more insulated from the eco-
nomics that might affect the mid-
dle-class buyer who might be

interested in buying a second
home," she said.
Island Equity broker Holly
Hight, whose listings include
mpre than a dozen high-end
waterfront homes, said her sales
increased in 2007.
"I think that during recessions,
the high-end properties don't
tend to do as poorly, because the
wealthier people don't tend to
suffer as much," Hight said.
The comeback Keys
While the Keys market might
be down for now, don't count it
out, agents say.
A slew of attributes that set the
Keys apart from other areas in
Florida have some agents hoping
for a sooner-than-expected
rebound in the local market.
"I think we're very unique,
and as a result we're going to
more favorably hold our market
values compared to other areas,"
Martin said.
Proximity to water, warm
weather and limited inventory
will help Keys properties retain
value, Martin said.-
Hight agreed, saying the Keys
market is in a favorable position
compared to neighboring Miami-
Dade County.
"I think we're better off,"
Hight said. "The building was
unbridled up there."
As for the outlook for 2008,
"We're cautiously optimistic,"
Martin said. "We've already seen
a pickup in calls."
She said a particularly harsh
winter has generated more inter-
est from northerners looking for a
permanent escape from the cold,
and the strength of the euro and
the Canadian dollar has prompted
more foreigners to seek out a sec-
ond home in the United States.
Hight said she's hopeful that
the completion of local construc-
tion projects will also boost sales.
"I think the new [18-Mile]
Stretch will help the market, and
the new Homestead Hospital. If
you had the choice to drive down
a beautiful 18-mile highway to
the Keys, or live in Homestead,
where would you live?"

Hight said the market pres-
ents a great opportunity for
first-time buyers or for buyers
looking for more affordable
homes.

Key West's finest chefs
compete for top honors Sunday
If it's fine food you're after -
and plenty of it you can't go
wrong with Sunday's Master
Chefs Classic.
The event, bringing together
more than a dozen of Key West's
finest restaurants, is a culinary
cornucopia of appetizers, entrees
and desserts that are judged by
both everyone attending and a
panel of specifically chosen
judges.
"This is one of our best-
attended fundraisers," said
Gordon Ross, public-relations
manager for the Monroe
Association of Retarded Citizens,
which is the beneficiary.
The 14th annual event was
planned for Marathon this year
but instead moved back to Key
West. It's at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at
the Pier House Resort and
Caribbean Spa, 1 Duval St.
The restaurants vie for top
honors in three categories:
Appetizers, entrees and desserts.
The Master Chefs Classic is
everything you'd want in food -
and more.
. "I always get people telling me
days after the event that there was
just too much food to deal with,"
Ross says. "I have to say, it's the
only complaint I like to hear."
And that's saying a lot, since
up to 300 people can attend.
"I think the hardest thing our
attendees have to face is deciding
what they think is best. Everything
made is always wonderful,"
MARC Executive Director Diana
Flenard said.
Winners in each category and
of the People's Choice Award
receive gifts from the Restaurant
Store. Past gifts have included
engraved knifes and gift cards for
the store, to name of few.
Melody Cooper will provide
the musical background for the
Master Chefs Classic. Many
know her for her singing at the
Pier House Wine Galley as well
as her appearances with the
Island Opera Theater and the
Keys Chorale.
Tickets can be purchased at
the MARC Plant Store, 1401
Seminary St.; the Restaurant

Springsteen show
plays at the Tropic
Throughout the 1970s and

the Golden Age of vaudeville
and "picture shows."

nered with Emerging Pictures

Wind blows Sculpture Key West into town
West Martello
is first stop,
then Fort Zach
T at was a nasty cold snap
'ith a wicked wind last
week.
With thoughts of hot soup, a
fleece blanket and a good book
drawing me toward home, I
instead turned on the heater in
the car and drove to the West
Martello, parked as close as I
could get and tucked my chin
against the ocean "breezes," hop-
ing I could find a nook out of the
wind at the Art Lights Martello
opening of Sculpture Key West
2008.
They were closing the doors
when I got there, however. The
video art, live music and cash
bar on the beach were not to be
in the face of 36 mph gusts.
Not to worry. Sculpture Key
West always plans a plenitude of
events around the entries from
34 artists from near and far.
The work installed at the West
Martello, home of the Key West
Garden Club at Atlantic
Boulevard near the White Street
Pier, can be viewed 9:30 a.m. to 5
p.m. daily. Donations are suggest-
ed to defray the club's expenses.
Feb. 16, the second part of
Sculpture Key West at Fort
Zachary Taylor State Park at the
end of Southard Street will be
complete.
'Icons'
Seward Johnson's new
exhibit, "Icons," at the Custom
House, 281 Front St., drew a
large and boisterous audience
last
Saturday.
Well-
known
images
from art
and film
were recre-
ated, life-
size and in
bronze,
under
Johnson's
Judi Bradford hand, with
creative
additions from beyond the
frames.
As with his previous installa-
tion, viewers can become part of
the art, stepping into the scene
beside Marilyn Monroe on the
steam vent or entering the
Victorian bordello (through a
beaded curtain) to see Manet's
"Olympia" on the day bed.
I found Steve Schuman com-
paring the hair on his legs with
Mona Lisa's hirsute limbs
revealed under the biblical robes
below the painting subject's pic-
ture frame.
Outside, the "American
Gothic" couple resides in front
of the Custom House,. Little did
we know they were waiting for a
cab to take them to the airport.
At their feet a suitcase with
travel stickers from Bangladesh,
Taiwan and Shanghai.
The enchanting exhibit
remains until July.
Upstairs at the museum,
"Discoveries/New Directions"
coincides with the Key West
Literary Seminar and shows
the thought-provoking work of
18 artists, both two- and three-
dimensional.

Artists in Paradise
I had an opportunity to stop in
at the Artists in Paradise
Gallery in the Winn-Dixie shop-
ping plaza on Big Pine Key last
week and found Sue D'Antonio
cutting mats in the little frame
shop at the back.
D'Antonio's fanciful art gourds
were among the art items in the
gallery, along with Bob
D'Antonio's whimsical sculp-
tures.
The work of the Lower Keys
Artists Network was on display
alongside the work of the regular
35 gallery artists. The gallery is a
lively enclave of creative artists
set in "Keys country"
They are sponsoring the
"Manikins in Paradise" show
and auction next month. The
exhibit opens Feb. 1 and culmi-
nates with an auction Feb. 15.

Biegel joins symphony
HLRU AD .UL COEYam03
Pianist comes
to Stock Island
Feb. 1 and 2
T he 10th season of the criti-
cally acclaimed Key West
Symphony Orchestra con-
tinues with performances Feb. 1
and 2, highlighted by the piano
artistry of soloist Jeffrey Biegel.
Titled "Pride and Despair,"
the musical program is to feature
the Southeast premiere of "Piano
Concerto No. 3" by Lowell
Lieberman, which was com-
posed exclusively for Biegel.
Symphony members also are
to showcase their talents on
Leonard Bernstein's "Overture
to West Side Story," specifically
chosen to honor the classic
musical's 50th anniversary.
The program also is to con-
tain "Fanfare for the Common
Man" by Aaron Copland and
"Symphony No. 6, Pathetique"
by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
The performances are sched-
uled for 8 p.m. at the Tennessee
Williams Theater at Florida
Keys Community College on
Stock Island.
Led by award-winning con-
ductor and Key West native
Sebrina Maria Alfonso, the Key
West Symphony is made up of
more than 70 of the United
States' premier classical musi-
cians.
Soloist Biegel is internation-
ally renowned as a pianist, com-
poser and arranger. He is noted
for staging the first live Internet
recitals in New York and
Amsterdam in 1997 and 1998.
Career triumphs have included
performing the Boston premiere
of the restored original 1924
manuscript of George
Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue"
with the Boston Pops.
In addition to its February
concerts, the Key West
Symphony is to present free
interactive concerts for Florida
Keys schoolchildren. The educa-
tional performances, a tradition
since the symphony's first sea-
son, enable the students to learn
about orchestral music, com-
posers and instruments through
firsthand experience of a live
symphonic concert.
Prior to each evening per-
formance, music lovers can
attend a "symphony chat" with
classical pianist and music histo-
rian Edward Pitts at 7:15 p.m. in
the foyer of the Tennessee
Williams Theatre.
Following the performance
Feb. 1, concertgoers can attend a
reception with symphony mem-
bers, Biegel and Alfonso in the
theater's foyer.
The Key West Symphony's
2008 season is to conclude with
concerts April 4 and 5 with
pianist Andreas Klein. Selections
to be performed are Ludwig van
Beethoven's "Piano Concerto
No. 5," featuring Klein, and
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's
"Impresario," a one-act opera
featuring singers from the sym-
phony's Sol Fest Opera Seminar.
Tickets for the symphony's
February concerts are priced
from $42 to $75 per person Feb.
1, which includes the post-per-
formance gala; and $32 to $65
per person the following night.
Prices are based on seat loca-
tions.
Tickets can be purchased
online at www.keystix.com or
by calling 295-7676.

The Marathon High School
, boys basketball team split a pair
of district games this week
against Palmer Trinity School
and Westminster Christian
School.
The boys lost to Palmer
Tuesday, 67-58, before handily
defeating Westminster Thursday,
56-29. They moved to 8-11 on
the season and 2-6 in district
play.
The Dolphins had defeated
Palmer Trinity at home Dec. 8,
their lone district victory to that
point, but coach Kevin Freeman
said familiar issues led to a loss
against the Falcons.
"I know they're tired of hear-
ing it and I'm tired of saying it,
but they have to box out and not
turn the ball over," Freeman said
of the team's struggles of late.

on Thursday to defeat district
champion LaSalle, 3-2.
The victory in the first round
of the state. Class 3A regional
playoffs moves the Canes onto
the Sweet 16 round, where they
will face season-long nemesis
Gulliver Prep on Tuesday.
"We were battered and
bruised in a very physical, hard-
fought battle," Hurricane coach
Clint Arsenault said.
On the field at District 15
champion LaSalle (17-6-1), the
Lady Canes scored twice in the
first six minutes.
The senior tandem of
Samantha Ragan and Brooks
Burdick first scored on a combi-
nation, Ragan getting the goal.
Minutes later, Burdick tallied
off a Ragan feed, the coach said.
"We dominated the first 15 to
20 minutes," he said. "Brooks and
Samantha are a lethal combination
up top when they are combining....
We had [LaSalle] on their heels."
But at the midway water break
in the first, the Lady Lions start-
ed to assert themselves on their
own field. LaSalle scored eight
minutes before halftime.
"We took some very hard
fouls that were non-calls,"
Arsenault said, "and were lucky
to get out at the half without any
serious injuries."

They wanted to set the tone,
but didn't.
Two hours later, the Key
West High School Lady Conchs
glumly contemplated another
season-ending loss in the first
round of the regional soccer
playoffs.
This time it was an enthusias-
tic, skilled and speedy
Archbishop McCarthy team
from Fort Lauderdale that easily
defeated the Conchs, 4-1, before
about 250 fans Thursday night at
Tommy Roberts Memorial
Stadium.
It was McCarthy that came
out eager to take charge. Four
minutes into the game, the
Mavericks scored on a header by
Bridget Becker. Ten minutes
later, Andrea Sciollino made it
2-0 with a shot that zipped by
keeper Ashley Stephenson.
"Ladies, we've been here
before," Key West coach Scott
Paul told his players. "We can
come back."
But for the rest of the half,
played mostly in Key West's end
of the field, the Conchs gave no
signs of coming back. They--'
went into the locker room after
the first 40 minutes still down,
2-0.
"Another 40," Paul said
hopefully.
The Conchs looked energized
at the beginning of the second
half, and the students in the
stands began to make a racket. A

second half

By DICK WAGNER

Marathon played the Key
West High School girls basket-
ball team evenly for a good part
of the first half Wednesday after-
noon before eventually falling
apart in a 61-23 Conchs' victory
at the Bobby Menendez Gym.
"The first half was good, but
we can't seem to put two good
halves together," Dolphins coach
Amanda Hirschauer said after
her team fell to 1-15.
Four consecutive baskets by
freshman Alaina Davis gave
Marathon a 14-12 lead early in
the second quarter, but the
Conchs closed out'the half with a
15-5 run to lead, 27-19, at inter-
mission.
The Dolphins scored four
points the rest of the game, none
in a third quarter in which they
committed 20 turnovers, to go
on top of the 25 they made in the
first half. They had 56 turnovers
in the game.
"We're a young team that has
to work on handling ourselves
under pressure and not panick-
ing," Hirschauer said.
Key West (12-7) eventually
pulled back its pressing defense
- "I didn't want to disrespect
anyone," Conch coach Glenn
Hayes Sr. said but the
Dolphins still coughed up the
ball on almost every possession.
All 15 Conchs played, and 12
scored. Sophomore Chelsea
Storr, with 12 points, was the
only one in double figures. Key
West scored the game's final 10
points, six on 3-point shots by
Ja' Taure Mathis and Storr.
Davis led Marathon with 10
points and Latrice Jackson had
six.
The victory ended the regular
season and came a day after Key
West defeated St. Brendan, 55-
48, avenging an early-season 50-
15 loss to the Sabres. The
Conchs breezed to a 23-5 lead,
then had to hold on late in the
fourth quarter.
Key West will play Edison at
5 p.m. Wednesday at St. Brendan
in the first round of the District
16-4A tournament.

Despite loss,
squad builds
future base
BY RYAN McCARTHY
rmccarthliy@keynoter.com
The Marathon High School
boys soccer season ended
Tuesday with a 5-0 district tour-
nament loss at the hands of
Palmer Trinity School.
The Dolphins finished at 3-8-
5, a vast improvement from last
year's winless season. Coach
Jim Murphy said he feels he
built a strong foundation for
what was a struggling program.
"I definitely learned myself
what kind of team I have and
what we need to build a good
program here," Murphy said.
The Dolphins were out-
matched Tuesday, however, as
Palmer scored all five of its goals
before 20 minutes had elapsed in
the first half. The teams played
amid a heavy rain most of the
first half.
The Dolphins had tied the
Falcons twice at home during the
regular season, but their best
players had not made the trip
down.
"I would say 70 percent of
their team didn't play in the first
two games. They only had 11
players both times and no substi-
tutes, probably a mix of [junior
varsity] players and bench play-
ers," he said.
Murphy said the Dolphins
were trailing 2-0 less than three
minutes into the game.
"The first one [goalie] Jay
[Hegland] had no shot at, it was
upper right comer. The second
goal was off a comer, they head-
ed it in on a nice play," he said.
Murphy said the next three
goals all came on nicely placed
shots from just outside the 18-
yard box.

through the first half, Murphy
said both he and the Falcons

"I pulled Jay out of goal and
Sean 0 Connor went in for the
first time in his life. We just
wanted to have fun playing our
last game," he said. The Falcons
coach "was pulling their starters
off at the same time."
"Over half my starters now

pretty happy with it, but some of

"The game became more

increased," Arsenault said. "We

hard fouls, and gave up a goal"
with more than 20 minutes left.
Coral Shores shifted its focus
to defense, bringing players
back to guard against a LaSalle
score. But that lowered the
chances of an insurance goal for
the Lady Canes.
"Our frustration level started
to show as we began to give up
fouls in our defensive third of
the field, creating dangerous
scoring opportunities 'for them,"
Arsenault said.
Shelby Gentes, a junior in her
second year as starting goal-
tender, "made some great saves
throughout the entire game," the
coach said.
The Canes, runners-up- in

kicked the ball over the goal.
Gone were two chances to cut
the lead to 2-1.
With 26 minutes left, Chrissy
Gratz after doing a gymnast's
front flip threw the ball into a
gathering of players in front of
the net, where teammate Deanna
Perez nudged it past Stephenson
to give the visitors a 3-0 lead.
With 19 minutes left, Emily

Five minutes later, Menez
scored the Conchs' only goal
when she headed in a cross by
senior Kara Haack, who, like
Kaitlin Hopkins and Monica
Bertram, were down to the last
moments of their prep careers.
When time ran out, Paul,
arms folded, stood alone on the
sideline.
After the teams shook hands,
the Conchs, several in tears,
gathered in a disconsolate knot
among a litter of athletic bags to
listen to their coach.
"We were not ready, we
played like an immature team,"
Paul said, adding that, through
hard work, maturity could be on
the horizon.
The Conchs finished 14-6-2,
but were only 2-6-2 against non-
District 16-4A opponents. They
had lost at home in the regional
quarterfinals for the third con-
secutive year. The postmortem
had become all too familiar.
"It's getting awfully tiring,"
Paul said.

knew what to expect from the

down two players. But one of
them got hot and hit three treys
in the first quarter.
Dolphin senior Blake
Friedman also started the game
hot with 11 points, but the team
trailed 22-14 after one quarter.
Marathon closed the gap to
33-29 at the half, but trailed 49-
40 after three quarters.
"We were playing bad, but
we had a chance," Freeman said.
"We .played great defense and
then we'd give up an offensive
rebound and they'd score. There
was a four or five-point margin
we couldn't get past."
Friedman led the Dolphins
with 24 points. He is averaging
22.8 points per game this season
- eighth in any class for the
state of Florida.
Sophomore Travis Leachman
scored seven points and had 14
rebounds, two blocks and two
steals, while junior Alberic
Forest scored 10 points and had
five rebounds.
Thursday, Freeman said posi-
tives from the loss to the Falcons
carried over and led to a stronger
performance.
"We were shooting the ball
better, getting better looks and
finishing," Freeman said. "We
needed this win; the ride on the
bus home was a lot better than it
has been in the last couple
weeks. We're in the middle of
this long road trip and they were
able to let off a little steam."
The Dolphins last played at
home Jan. 12 and will not play
there again until their regular-
season finale Jan. 31 against
Miami Country Day.
Friedman again started strong
for the Dolphins, scoring eight
points and helping the Dolphins
build a 14-7 lead after one quar-
ter.
They led 29-19 at halftime,
but Freeman said the Dolphins
did well to expand the lead in the
third quarter.
"When we have leads at half-
time we let up, but we didn't this
time. We kept pushing the ball
up the court and outscored them
18-5 in the third quarter,"
Freeman said.
The Dolphins had the
Warriors doubled up after three
quarters, 48-24, and cruised to
victory.
Friedman led the Dolphins

behind 3-0 in the first 13 min-

utes of the game.
"They came to play and we
were still on the bus; they just
played smart soccer," Doll
said.
The Falcons also had many
more players then in either of
their two regular-season
matchups with the Dolphins.
"They seemed to have a lot
of players compared to what
they came down here with.
When they [substituted] they
would put two and three play-
ers in at a time and we could-
n't match that with our depth,"
Doll said.
The Falcons led 3-0 at the
half after scoring on a 20-yard
shot, a head ball and off a cor-
ner kick. Four minutes into the
second half, they scored again
from 15 yards out.
Doll said the Dolphins had
few scoring opportunities in
the game, as the Falcon
defenders did a nice job pro-
tecting their goal.
"I just think right now the
kids are tired and we're a
young team. [We'll] learn
from the game because they
just outplayed us in every cat-
egory and every statistic,"
Doll said.
Thursday, Marathon lost a
consolation game to Dade
Christian School, 5-1.
Doll said he was proud
because the girls played much
better against the Crusaders
than they had the Falcons.
"They were big and fast and
most of them were juniors and
seniors," he said of the
Crusaders.
Dade Christian scored first
18 minutes into the game, and
the Dolphins quickly respond-
ed with a Katie Landry goal
from 18 yards out. f
Doll said the Crusaders
responded quickly with a goal
gn a 30-yard direct kick and
took a 2-1 lead into the half.
Four minutes into the sec-
ond half, the Crusaders scored
again from about 20 yards out.
"They were peppering us at
the time. We were playing
good but we only had four
shots on goal the whole game
and they had about 35 shots on
goal," Doll said.
The Dolphins struggled
offensively, but Doll said
defensively the Dolphins were
strong. He said the Crusaders
were noticeably frustrated at
their inability to capitalize on
their many opportunities most
of the game.
But the Crusaders did even-
tually net two more goals to
put the game out of reach mid-
way through the second half.
"We were pretty banged up
and speed wise they were very
quick and very big. It kind of
intimidated us a little bit,"
Doll said.
The Dolphins finished a
remarkable turnaround season,
with a roster featuring mainly
seventh- and eighth-grade
players, at 10-6-1. Last year
the team won just two games.
"It was a good ride and
hopefully next year we can
keep practicing and they'll
improve," Doll said.

Reagan stops Key West
Keys briefs
Conch boys
fall in first
playoff round
By DICK WAGNER
Keynoter Contributor
A second-half comeback fell
short Monday as the Key West
High School boys soccer team
lost to Ronald Reagan, 3-2, in the
first round of the District 16-4A
tournament in Hialeah.
"There were a lot of nerves
with the younger players, and it
cost us the game," coach Jason
Clifford said "We gave up [the
kind of] goals we had not been
giving up for some time."
The defeat ended the season
for the Conchs, who finished 6-
16 and were ranked 86th out of
103 teams in 4A by
DownSouthRankings.com.
Last season, Key West was
18-6-6 and reached the regional
finals.
Reagan led, 3-0, at halftime
after scoring once on a deflection
off a Conch player and twice on
free kicks that Clifford said
should have been stopped.
The Conchs began to cut into
the lead early in the second half
after senior Marion Briones had to
leave the game after receiving a
double yellow card. Clifford
moved speedy sophomore defend-
er Zach Harden to forward, and
Harden began to control the game.
He scored the first Key West
goal with 25 minutes to play, and
soon after beat the defense and
left the ball for Phillip Young,
whose shot made it 3-2.
After what would have been a
tying goal by Young was nullified
because of a hand ball, the Conchs
continued to pressure the Reagan
keeper. But three scoring attempts
by Sergio Tellez one on a header
and two on close-in kicks failed.
While Harden and Young
were the night's offensive stars,
Trevoi Gordon and Rennie
Disrud-Joris shined on defense,
with Gordon thwarting break-
aways and Disrud-Joris marking
Reagan's best player.
Reflecting on the season,
Clifford said, "Overall, it was
what I expected. We had 10 of 11
new players and a new bench.
But the players learned to believe
in themselves. As the season
went on the kids gradually real-
ized games are never over and
they came to understand just a
bit too late what to do to win.
And next season?
"We will have all underclass-
men. If the kids do their work in
the offseason, we will be much
improved."
