Charges pending against Acevedo
BY MANDY BOLEN
BY ADAM LINHARDT
Citizen Staff
Citizen Staff
O
The Monroe County State Attorney’s
Office is days away from filing criminal
charges against the former school district administrator who allegedly misused a school credit card.
State Attorney Dennis Ward said
charges against Monique Acevedo are
ne thing this island
does not lack is opinions.
Everyone has one.
Most of us have at least four
that we’ll share at a moment’s
notice. For
some, the
volume and
intensity of
these opinions increases
in direct proTAN LINES
portion to the
amount of alcohol or other
substances consumed prior to
the discussion.
As a writer for the local
newspaper, I am often treated
to these fierce ideas from our
readers, and that’s OK. It’s my
job to listen, and sometimes
an impromptu conversation
leads to an intriguing story.
Of course, it would be
nice if people tried not to
fall down while expressing
their thoughts about the City
Commission, the school district money scandal or the
sinking of the Vandenberg.
And criticisms of our local
paper — the one that hired me
right out of college, and has
paid my rent for more than 10
years — lose some credibility
when the person speaking
has just poured a drink on my
flip-flop.
Nevertheless, everyone
deserves to be heard.
Some people like what I
write, some people don’t.
Some people like me, some
people don’t. And that’s OK,
too, because I don’t even like
every article I write, and there
are some people I believe
should be voted permanently
off the island.
That said, I know I have a bit
of an unfair advantage when
it comes to expressing my
opinions, and I’ve used this
space, over the past nine years,
to share my views and various
anecdotes.
I’ve received more than 200
e-mails from people who like
my writing and share my opinion on various matters we’ve
discussed, including parking,
commercials, jerks who pick
all the cashews out of a bowl
of mixed nuts and free ways to
enjoy Key West.
That last one, which
reminded people that free fun
is still possible in these tough
times, garnered many positive responses, but also ticked
someone off.
I suggested, among other
things, fishing from a pier at
sunset and wandering through
Old Town neighborhoods with
a homemade cocktail.

Museum plans turtle industry exhibit
Citizen Staff
BY MANDY BOLEN
Citizen Staff
A local organization is writing a
proposal that would bring the turtle
canning industry’s history back to the
Key West Bight, where it thrived and
expired in accordance with the laws of
supply and demand.
When the turtles ran out, so did the
money.
The Mel Fisher Maritime Museum
wants to establish an exhibit at the
Turtle Kraals Museum, which will be
an empty, ramshackle wooden structure by the end of the month, after the
departure of the current tenant, Tina
Brown.
The city, which owns the historic
building, canceled Brown’s lease, saying she was not abiding by its terms,
namely not being open as much as
specified. The city is soliciting letters of
interest from potential tenants, but has
not received any formal requests.
“We’re putting together an excellent
exhibit detailing the industry and its
effect on the town,” said Mel Fisher
Museum Executive Director Melissa
Kendrick.
The museum’s archaeology director,
Corey Malcom, has been researching
the industry and its societal effects
since April 2000, when he and a volunteer team excavated mountains of

Most people visit and live
in the Florida Keys because of
the tropical scenery, whether
it’s the signature sunrises and
sunsets or rows of mangrove
islands and beaches.
But there is a growing concern about floating signs,
kayak-laden barges and rock
climbing walls popping up offshore.
Concerns transcend artificial
structures competing with the
natural beauty. Damage to seagrass beds, coral colonies and
other fish habitat not receiving
adequate sunlight are also a
worry.

and begins another under the sea. The

“To the genius who wants the
Vandenberg sunk in ‘water shallow enough for snorkelers to see
it,’ there are restrictions as to how
much clearance there needs to be
over the top of the ship. Get certified to dive instead!”
“Are we supposed to feel reassured that a private contractor, not
the school district, paid for the
fancy party for school district staff
at the DoubleTree Grand Key? Isn’t
that exactly the sort of graft that
has corrupted Washington and
Tallahassee?”
“Why the DoubleTree? Have you
ever stayed at one? The DoubleTree
cookies are the reason, of course.
Mmm.”
“The 1000 block of White Street
has turned into a used car lot with
all the cars and scooters marked
for sale parked there.”
“I am shocked and outraged
about the offshore drilling in
Florida. This is wrong and needs to
be stopped. I will not vote for any
representative that voted in favor
of offshore drilling.”
“I feel sorry for all these people
getting sucked into buying a house
now. Prices are going to drop
another 30 percent at least here in
the Keys. The worst is yet to come.”
“Somebody please investigate
incompetence and safety issues
at Martin Luther King Community
Pool before a child dies. Lifeguards
asleep and texting — why is that
acceptable?”
“In May, all county employees
will be required to attend a class
on ethics. I wonder whether the
Bubbas will discuss the ethics of
demoting good employees so they
can keep bad ones. Nonexistent
leadership, incompetence and laziness are costing county taxpayers
many times what the school district
is wasting on cosmetics.”
“Why would our legislators vote
to allow offshore drilling in our
waters you ask? Big campaign
contributions would be the answer.”
“When will people realize when
making a left turn they do not
have the right of way. That means
to wait until traffic clears to make
your turn.”
“Superintendent Acevedo was
easily re-elected last fall because
he has done an excellent job of
improving education. Stop hounding him, let him do his job and let
the legitimate investigative processes take their course.”
“The national chain that rents
movies here in Key West advertises
two-day rentals, three-day rentals,
four-day rentals, but yet the movie
has to be back by noon on the day.
If it says two-day rental, wouldn’t
that be 48 hours?”
“My comment is on the judge
race. How much money are we
wasting on this silly race? Many
races have been won or lost by
fewer votes than this. It’s costing
the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

CRIME REPORT
Dinner party goes sour,
phone lands in soup
CITIZEN STAFF
KEY WEST — A dinner party
turned sour Wednesday night
after two friends apparently got
into an argument leading to a
cell phone being tossed into a
pot of potato soup, broken sunglasses and some minor bruising.
The man who called Key West
police said he went to a friend’s
house in the 500 block of
Caroline Street to cook dinner,
but while there his friend began
yelling at him, reports say. The
subject of the argument was not
listed in the police report.
The caller said the man threw
his cell phone into the soup,
broke his sunglasses and then
grabbed his arm, causing some
slight bruising, reports say.
The caller told a responding
officer that he wanted his cell
phone fixed and his sunglasses
replaced, reports say. The officer explained that was a civil
matter, not criminal, and that
he would have to pay to file the
case, reports say.
After learning he would have
to pay to file a small claims
complaint, the man decided
he wanted to pursue criminal
charges, reports say.
The responding officer gave
the man the Monroe County
State Attorney’s Office phone
number. No arrests were made.
Information in the Crime
Report is obtained from reports
provided by area law enforcement agencies.
If you have information that
could help solve a crime in the
Keys, call Crime Stoppers, (800)

“So, the city decides to award
a bid to a noncompliant bidder.
If the bidder can’t get the paperwork correct for a bid submission,
how do we know they can get the

Particularly disturbing is the omission of the ‘anti-kickback affidavit.’

Concert benefits food bank
Arts council’s new endowment
Animal Farm is open today
The concert bands from Key Largo
School, Plantation Key School and
Coral Shores High School will perform
starting at 7 p.m. Thursday night.
The annual Tri-School Concert will
benefit the Burton Memorial Food
Bank by requiring audience members
to bring a nonperishable food item as
the cost of admision.
Each group will play one selection then combine with their other
school’s counterpart for a combined
performance. Coral Shores’ awardwinning concert and jazz band also
will play to round out the evening.
The concert should last just over an
hour.
Cash and checks payable to Burton
Memorial Food Bank also will be
accepted.
The Florida Keys Council of the
Arts (FKCA) has partnered with the
Community Foundation of the Florida
Keys (CFFK) to secure its long-term
sustainability by creating an endowment.
The endowment, entrusted to foundation for safe-keeping, was established using a grant the art council was
awarded from the Leadership Success
Academy combined with a donation
from the private sector.
Since 1996, CFFK has granted more
than $12 million to the community to
support the work of local nonprofits,
and the foundation currently manages more than 90 endowments for
individuals and other nonprofit organizations and causes throughout the
Florida Keys.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office
Animal Farm will be open to the public from
1 to 3 p.m. today.
Everyone is welcome to visit, for free, the
wide variety of animals at the park, including
Tina the Key deer, tropical birds, snakes, ferrets, rabbits, horses, ponies, a llama, donkey,
goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, a 100pound tortoise, an emu, albino hedgehog,
Patagonian cavies and more. New additions
include a kinkajou and a sloth, both natives
of the Costa Rican rain forest.
The Animal Farm is at the Stock Island
Detention Center, just off College Road. It
is open to the public the second and fourth
Sunday of every month.
Groups may make special arrangements
to visit the farm. Call the Sheriff’s Office
Detention Center at 305-293-7300 to schedule a visit.

Bridge runner captures fourth win despite fear of bridges
BY ROB BUSWEILER
Citizen Staff
Even the winner of the Seven
Mile Bridge Run seemed to
be more enamored with the
spectacle of the historic Middle
Keys race then with his breakneck pace.
Winning the Seven Mile
Bridge Run has become somewhat of a habit for Candler,
N.C., resident Jason Bodnar.
The 39-year-old has now won
the race four times.
“It’s not about winning,” said
Bodnar minutes before picking
up his first-place prize. “It is
about all 1,500 people out there
running.”
This year marked the 28th
time runners from around the
world descended on Marathon
to take part in one of the more
unique races in the world, a
race that takes place completely over and surrounded by
water.
Bodnar’s win is even more
impressive considering his
well-documented fear of bridges.
“I have this fear of bridges,
but coming down here, running it and being fortunate
to win it four times has really
helped me get over it,” Bodnar
said. “You don’t get an opportunity where they close a major
bridge like this, to run across it
very often.”
Bodnar wasn’t the only winner in the family. His wife,
Jennifer, placed third in the
women’s division with a time
of 43:38.
At the starting line, Dawn
Israel-Castle was busy creating
her own bridge race history.
She was one of growing group
of parents who run the race
while pushing their children in
strollers.
“I ran it in 2003 when I was
pregnant,” she said. Six years
later, she had a bright-yellow
double stroller with her children Sage and Sam in tow.
“They like the over the hump
gang,” she said of her kids’
enjoyment of watching the
loud party truck that is parked
just after the large hump in the
bridge about halfway through
the course.
All the nuances from the
race’s long history were present, from the crowd gathering
on Knights Key before sunrise,
the runners’ ever-present fear
of bring picked up by the bus
before finishing the race, to
the party afterwards. In addition to the change in venue
to Chappy’s Steak & Seafood
restaurant, down the road from
the Pigeon Key gift shop, the
biggest difference most runners noticed was a small electronic chip attached to their
shoes.
That chip presented some
runners with a new race-day
challenge.
“The hardest part of the race
is this,” Lower Keys resident
Sara Maschal said jokingly
while fiddling with the tracking chip.
Electronic tracking chips are
a Seven Mile Bridge Run first.
Minutes before the race, Josh
Stern of Split Second Timing
was busy setting up the timing pad that activates the chip
when the runners cross. A second pad was set up at the end
of the race giving each runner
an accurate time.
Although the field of 1,500
is not so large that those at the
back of the pack at the starting
line face a long trip before getting on the actual course, such
timing devices can make a big
difference in larger races.
“If you have a marathon,
some of those in the back of
the pack won’t cross the starting line for 30 minutes [after
the starting gun is fired],” Stern
said.
The chips did make a big
difference in getting the results
out faster. As runners crossed
the finish line, race officials
back at Chappy’s were able to
see the results in real time.
Once the race started, however, all eyes were on Bodnar,
who finished three minutes
ahead of his nearest competitor.
Bodnar said he is happy to
continue competing despite
his fear of bridges.
“I only have so many good
steps in me left,” he said.
Andrew Greenridge of
Coconut Creek, Fla., placed
second in the men’s division
with a time of 37:02, while Jon
Williams of Miami ran 37:08 for
third place.
Marlene Persson, a Delray
Beach physical therapist technician, won the overall women’s division for the third time
with a time of 40:54. Nancy
Frey of Boca Raton placed second at 41:51.
For the past 28 years, the
Seven Mile Bridge Run has
been the only one of its kind in
the Keys, but organizers in Key
Largo are planning the Nov. 14
Jewfish Creek Bridge Run they
hope will become an annual
event.

a boat captain — but most importantly, a self-taught engineer with

OPINION
Hometown PAC is asset
to community, voters
H
ometown PAC is off
to a good start in
its continuing mission to provide convenient
forums for candidates who
aspire to local elective offices
and to provide useful information for citizens who want
to know more about issues
that may inform their votes
when balloting begins.
This year’s election cycle
kicked off last week. A fullhouse crowd of candidates,
prospective candidates and
citizens gathered for a meetand-greet session at Salute,
the popular eatery on the
oceanfront near Higgs Beach.
As our readers will know, the
proceedings were enlivened
by the unscheduled appearance of two topless ladies
who bicycled past the crowd,
presumably to register their
support for creating a clothing optional beach, an issue
that only recently came up
out of the blue but seems to
be gaining a constituency.
We find no cause to object
to a little momentary titillation to advocate a cause. It
sure beats trying to decipher
the dense, lawyerly language
of a ballot referendum. We
do, however, hope this will
not become a regular feature
of future candidate forums.
Next up on the schedule
will be some events that
reflect desirable improvements in how Hometown
PAC goes about its business.
The organization no longer will endorse candidates,
as it has done in the past.
Rather, it will ask candidates
to provide biographical information and to respond in
writing to questions about
significant issues. Responses
will be posted on Hometown
PAC’s Web site (http://www.
hometownkeywest.com) so
that voters will have convenient access to each candidate’s credentials, viewpoints
and priorities.
Upcoming forums will be
Editorial
scheduled at various locations in the community that
will be as convenient as possible for voters in city commission districts where there
is a contest between two or
more candidates. Mayoral
candidates will be invited to
all forums.
At least one more meetand-greet session will be
held when the deadline for
filing has been reached, but a
site for this event has not yet
been chosen.
We take pleasure in recognizing that Hometown PAC
has strengthened its board
of directors to reflect all of
the neighborhoods in the
city and include well-known
business and civic leaders as
well.
Membership continues to
grow robustly with each election cycle. Membership dues
are $20 a year. These funds
are needed to cover the costs
of booking meeting sites,
audio visual equipment and
a buffet of light foods that is
always served. However, all
forums and other events will
continue to be open to the
public at no charge.
As we have said before
on this page, we earnestly
believe our community
needs an organization such
as Hometown PAC and the
mission it represents. It is
needed to encourage qualified candidates to serve in
critical elective offices. It is
needed to provide voters
with useful and timely information to inform their voting
preferences.
We are pleased that
Hometown PAC has found
its groove as a unique community asset. We hope its
membership will continue to
grow. Twenty dollars a year
for dues is a terrific investment in good government.

Letters to the editor
Fix financial system;
get past the witch hunt
The Monroe County School Board
should stop and consider the obvious.
Its accounting and record-keeping policies and procedures are primarily at fault
for the current financial debacle. I have
been a bookkeeper my whole life for both
profit and nonprofit organizations, and
have never worked under such a system
that could fail in such a manner. Basic
Bookkeeping 101 introduces the concept
of purchase orders and, most important,
the checks and balances required to maintain security.
And what about budgets that not only
set limitations on expenditures, but
establish income projections based on
prior years? Certainly cash income from
course fees plummeting from $14,000 to
$0 should have raised a flag to someone,
if anyone was watching. Who does your
final audit? Why didn’t he or she notice the
discrepancy? And how could you continue
to allocate or justify expenses to a program
producing so little income?
I could go on, but what is the point?
Any estimate of theft should include the
salaries paid to those “minding the store.”
Good bookkeeping policies and procedures are easy to establish, and as anyone
could tell you who has ever been under
the gun of a good bookkeeper, a pain to
follow. This isn’t rocket science, people.
I am angry and appalled as I sit and
watch this witch hunt progress, knowing
full well that there will be no immediate
end to the money it will cost, including
any lawsuits that might ensue as a result of
the board’s desire to punish the guilty. Sad
to say, in many cases it is human nature
to take advantage of a lax system such as
ours. And do you honestly think this is the
first time an employee has stolen?
So, please, stop before it costs us millions. We taxpayers are already overburdened, and what we really want is to sleep
nights knowing this will never happen
again. Let’s face it, we can’t recoup what
we have lost. That old “blood out of a
stone” quip comes to mind here.
This is your opportunity to shine. Get
on with the business of revamping the
system, admit to the failure to properly
supervise, and perhaps, just perhaps, pardon the guilty.
Do the right thing.

A permit costs nearly
as much as the project
Suburban Propane charged me a total
of $263.38 for parts, labor and sales tax to
remove two 120-gallon propane tanks and
install and anchor one 27-gallon tank. A
fair price for the work involved.
Monroe County charged me $243 for a
permit to have this work done.
Am I the only one here that feels this is
an unfair burden to put on a homeowner?
Here’s a hint for the county: If there isn’t
enough work to justify the current number
of Code Enforcement officers and building inspectors, lay some of them off! Don’t
raise the cost of permits to pay their salaries — and why would it take two inspectors to inspect a propane tank?
And a heads up to everyone in the county: If your tank isn’t anchored, the law
requires it to be — a public safety issue, no
grandfathering, and Code Enforcement is
out there looking for you. An after-the-fact
permit is $500 for something that, in most
cases, didn’t require a permit when the
work was done. County commissioners,
fix this inequity.

A warship in transit

Five hundred feet of grey steel slowly
approaches Truman Waterfront towed by
the tugboat Broward to its last stop before
being reefed.
Stripped of its topside appendages,
paint and personnel, the rusting veteran
vessel lists slightly to starboard as it nestles
close to the bulkhead.
Thick, hemp docklines secure her to
land one more time like an umbilicus
before rebirthing as a marine metropolis
submerged south of the Florida Keys.
Her past is prologue as she will continue to serve the planet silently beneath
the waves doing her duty for centuries to
come.
Giving shelter to the genesis of life may
indeed be her greatest purpose and her
destiny will be secure in the ambiotic fluid
of mother earth.
Fare thee well Vandenberg, and may
Neptune greet you gently with open arms
and a calm sea.

lesson not just from the necessity of communication, but
also the need for constancy of
purpose.
We humans think we are
extraordinarily special and
above all other life forms.
Perhaps it is deserved, perhaps
it is arrogance or perhaps it is
the greatest joke of all time.
We shall see. In any event, my
wife’s father, the late Cmdr.
(retired) Richard Smith, many
years ago sent me the following lessons we can learn
from geese. If we are not too
busy feathering our own nests
(alright, I couldn’t resist) we
would do well to take these
lessons under advisement for
they are undoubtedly the lessons we need right now more
than anything else in our
world.
Lessons from geese
1. As each bird flaps its
wings, it creates an uplift for
others behind it. There is 71
percent more flying range in a
V-formation than flying alone.
Lesson: People who share a
common direction and sense
of common purpose can get
there quicker.
2. Whenever a goose flies out
of formation, it quickly feels
the drag and tries to get back
into position.
Lesson: It’s harder to do
something alone than together.
3. When the lead goose gets
tired, it rotates back into formation and another goose flies
at the lead.
Lesson: Shared leadership
and interdependence gives us
each a chance to lead as well
as opportunities to rest.
4. The geese in formation
honk from behind to encourage those up ahead to keep up
their speed.
Lesson: We need to make
sure our honking is encourag-
ing and not discouraging.
5. When a goose gets sick or
wounded and falls, two geese
fall out and stay with it until
it revives or dies. Then they
catch up or join another flock.
Lesson: Stand by your colleagues in difficult times as
well as in good.
In these troubled times there
are great lessons from geese to
be emulated in our nation, our
state, our city, where we work
and most important, at home.

Wilson declined to say when
that would occur, but added,
“charges are close.”
Wilson also said people other
than Monique Acevedo have
been investigated.
“Are other people being
looked at? The answer is yes,
but the inquiry thus far has
focused predominately on Mrs.
Acevedo,” Wilson said. “That
doesn’t mean we’re not looking at other people; we’re just
focusing on what she’s allegedly done.”
Acevedo, who is the wife of
Schools Superintendent Randy
Acevedo, resigned in early
March after evidence surfaced
that she allegedly bought thousands of dollars worth of personal items using her school
district credit card. Monique
Acevedo was the adult education coordinator in charge
of programs such as culinary
classes, General Equivalency
Degree and English as a Second
Language.
Her resignation launched
daily revelations that have shaken the county’s confidence in
the school district and angered
teachers and principals who’ve
been asked to do without certain supplies because of a tightening school budget.
Concerns about Monique
Acevedo’s personal purchases
on district credit quickly gave
way to worries about her regularly exceeding purchase orders.
Then questions arose about the
whereabouts of ninth-graders’
fundraising money and apparent discrepancies in the cashonly fees cosmetology students
paid and the amount deposited. Monique Acevedo was in
charge of both.
Parents, taxpayers and
school donors have been vocal
in their disdain, as well. Some
have written Gov. Charlie Crist’s
office asking the state to spearhead the criminal probe and
oust Randy Acevedo from his
position.
Randy Acevedo has denied
any knowledge of alleged financial misconduct by his wife,
and Monique Acevedo has not
commented on the investigation since her resignation.

the Truman Waterfront, where
both ships are moored, was
heavy as tourists and locals
alike continued to line the
fence, taking pictures of the
rusty behemoth.
“We’re getting all kinds
of requests from all over the
place,” Weatherby said. “You
name it. Some Germans wanted to put their boat on the
super-structure when it goes
down, with them in it.”
For what reason, Weatherby
doesn’t know. He denied the
request and moved on, he
said.
The strongest reaction, however, came from the scuba diver
who wanted to fill a sealed
room with beer.
“I don’t know what people
are thinking,” Weatherby said.
A company that makes
small, unmanned vessels also
contacted Weatherby about its
robotic hull-cleaning device.
The company wanted to use it
on the Vandenberg for promotional reasons, Verge said.
The company initially contacted Verge about using it on
the USS Mohawk, but Verge
declined so representatives
contacted Weatherby about the
Vandenberg.
“I’m getting so many crazy
requests,” Weatherby said. “We
haven’t even seen the paperwork on that one yet. That’s
going to be up to the city.”
Organizers also have been
inundated with media requests.
National Geographic is in
town as well as the Discovery
Channel and more are expected, Verge said.
Most of the requests are from
people who want to put their
own remote cameras on the
Vandenberg, and divers who
want to be in the water when
it’s sunk, Weatherby said. Many
are clamoring to be the first to
dive on the site. Others want to
bring in helicopters, Weatherby
said.
Fritz Zivic, a volunteer on the
Mohawk, said foot traffic has
been heavy all week. As he talked, passersby continually filed
by the ship, taking pictures and
asking about the Vandenberg
— a mammoth project that has
taken $8 million and more than
a decade to realize.
“A hell of a week?” Verge said,
repeating a reporter’s question.
“Try a hell of the last 10 years.”

climbing wall in Pearl Basin
near Calda Channel, which it
sometimes leaves overnight
depending on its bookings
and weather conditions, company owner Scott Saunders
said. Its catamarans regularly
take patrons to the 10-by-10foot floating iceberg, which an
anchor secures to a sandbar,
he said, emphasizing the company does not attach it to fish
habitats.
“We want to be part of the
solution, not part of the problem. We want to work with DEP
and others on this,” Saunders
said, adding the company regularly donates money to Mote
Marine Laboratory and other
groups for coral and seagrass
restoration and conservation
work. “We educate our customers about the delicate reef
and seabeds. We would never
want to harm the environment.”
Sebago owner Paul McGrail,
who also has a barge moored
in Pearl Basin, declined to
comment until he could more
thoroughly read the letter he
received Friday and talk with
his attorney.
Hundreds of sailboats and
houseboats are moored and
anchored off the Keys, but
those boat owners have not
received letters. And floating
structures are not only an issue
off Key West.
In the Upper Keys, the owners of Marley’s Bayside Grille
off the 18 Mile Stretch recently
placed a large sign on a small
sailboat moored in the chan-
nel off the recently erected
Jewfish Creek Bridge. The owners said they placed the sign
there because construction on
the new configuration of the
bridge made it impossible for
motorists to see the business.

Charges
“I anticipate some aspect
of the investigation will finish
before other portions, and I
don’t intend to wait until the
entire investigation is complete to file some charges that
are sufficiently independent
of another part of the case,”
Wilson said.

Bay bottom
The Florida Department
of Environmental Protection
(DEP) last week began sending
letters to Key West operators of
watersports and snorkel boats
who may have placed such
permanent structures on state
submerged lands, including
Sebago, Sunset Water Sports,
Fury Water Adventures and
C&T Charters Inc.
The letters inform them of
their violations and invite them
to meet with DEP officials to
discuss the issue.
“Our goal is to have compliance,” said Gus Rios, who
heads the Marathon DEP office,
adding the letters are part of
an ongoing investigation about
illegal structures on state bay
bottom. “We in no way want
to impact someone’s business.
The initial step is to educate.”
In some cases, operators
don’t realize they are violating
state rules, Rios said. The state
does not prohibit people from
temporary anchoring, defined
as 72 hours. Permanent structures, however, require a state
permit.
Fury Water Adventures, for
example, operates an inflatable

SANTA MONICA, Calif. —
The former estate of silent film
star Marion Davies, where the
rich and famous frolicked during Hollywood’s Golden Age,
opened Saturday as a public
beach club after more than 10
years of planning.
The 5-acre beachfront
estate was built by newspaper
magnate William Randolph
Hearst for Davies in the late
1920s while they carried on
a long-term love affair. They
hosted lavish parties there in
the ’20s and ’30s, entertaining such stars as Clark Gable,
Charlie Chaplin, Jean Harlow
and Joan Crawford.
The property later became
a hotel, then a private beach
club and at one point was the
backdrop of “Beverly Hills
90210.” It was shut down after
being heavily damaged by the
1994 Northridge earthquake.
The city-operated Annenberg Community Beach House
is the only such facility on the
California coast that doesn’t
require membership.
“We don’t want to call it a
club, it’s a community beach
house,” said Leonard Aube,
managing director of the
Annenberg Foundation, which
provided $27.5 million of the
nearly $35 million cost to build
and finish the attraction.
Recreational
facilities
include the marble-tiled swimming pool where Davies and
her friends swam. The only
other structure remaining from
the Davies era is a guest house,
which is open for tours.

denounced Coyne for using an
expletive at an event.
Despite the criticism, Coyne
said he always expected state
residents to stand up for their
native sons.
“People would have a reason
to really fight for us and say,
‘No, this isn’t what Oklahoma
is all about,’” Coyne said. “And
I think the governor is very
cool, how he’s come to our rescue.”

think they can tell people what
kind of T-shirts and what kind
of music they can listen to, and
the smart, rational, reasonable
people of Oklahoma are never
going to buy into that,” frontman Wayne Coyne told the
newspaper Tulsa World in an
interview Friday.
Gov. Brad Henry resolved
the issue by announcing he
would sign an executive
order proclaiming “Do You
Realize??” the official rock
song of Oklahoma. The song
earned more than half of the
21,000 votes cast in an online
contest.
The
Grammy-winning
group, formed in Norman,
Okla., in 1983, is known for its
psychedelic rock and lyrics.
Republican Rep. Corey
Holland was offended when
band member Michael Ivins
wore a red T-shirt with a yellow
hammer-andsickle emblem,
a traditional
symbol of the
Communist
Party, during
a visit to the
Capitol last
Ivins
month.
“The great thing about this
country is he has the right to
make whatever statement he
wants to make,” Holland said.
“I have the right to be offended
by that.”
The shirt was a Christmas
present to Ivins from Coyne’s
wife, and he wore it to a
rehearsal earlier that day, said
Coyne, who was offended by
Holland’s implication that the
band is un-American.

the Florida Division of Cultural
Affairs and the Florida Keys
Council of the Arts. The
Marathon Middle eighth-grade

Key Largo student wins essay contest
Try answering this question:
You are on a school bus and
one of the kids is kicked out of
his or her seat and made fun
of by another student. What
would you do?
That’s the query eighthgraders across the school
district were asked to answer
in an essay contest sponsored by the Monroe County
Community Safety Task Force.
Designed as preparatory work
for those eighth-graders taking
the Florida Comprehensive
Assessment Test this year, all
eighth-graders were involved,
whether in public, private or
home-school settings.
Stefana Valpotic of Key
Largo School was the overall
winner of the contest. She
received a $100 prize from
the Interfaith Ministerial
Alliance. Entries were judged
by the Marathon Business and
Professional Women and the
Key West Women’s Club.
“We received essays from
Key Largo School, Sugarloaf
School and Mary Immaculate
Star of the Sea School,” said
Cynthia Rubenstein, chair of
the task force. “We thought
it was a pretty good showing for our first year. We
hope to make this an annual
event and get more schools
involved.”
Rachael Norquoy of Mary
Immaculate Star of the Sea
School, Shelbi Swanson of
Sugarloaf School, and Jackie
Lara of Key Largo School also
won for their writing skills.
Each school winner received
two movie passes from
Regal Cinemas in Key West,
the Marathon Community
Theatre and Tavernier Towne
Cinemas.
The mission of the contest
was the same as that of the
task force: Creating Healthy
and Non-Violent Community
Environments (CHANCE).
The CHANCE task force
hopes to reduce the likelihood that anyone in Monroe
County will become a victim
or perpetrator of domestic
violence. They hope to create
conditions that make violence
less likely to occur by implementing a wide-range of primary prevention activities.
The group is made up of
representatives from the
Domestic Abuse Shelter,
Florida Keys Outreach
Coalition, Florida Department
of Children and Families, the
Ministerial Alliance, Monroe
Youth Challenge Program,
Children’s Medical Services,
the school district, Naval Air
Station Key West, and Legal
Services of the Florida Keys.
For more information about
the task force, contact Cynthia
Rubenstein at 305-743-4440.

enclosures that held doomed
turtles outside the building — today the Turtle Kraals
Restaurant & Bar.
The eatery formerly was a
turtle canning factory — producing turtle steaks, stock and
the ever-popular Key West
green turtle soup — until the
industry ceased to exist in the
1970s.
In its heydey, the kraals were
four times their current size
and held hundreds of turtles,
according to Donald Wells, who
worked as a butcher in the cannery in the 1950s and 60s, and
told his story to Malcom.
The original structure fell
into the water in 1995, but later
was reconstructed with state
grant money, she said.
In the Florida Division of
Historical Resources’ research
project, the kraals were excavated and the sediment taken
to a vacant lot — now the site of
the Steamplant luxury condominiums — where volunteers
sifted through the remains of
turtles and the industry that
threatened their existence. The
project yielded thousands of
bones, several knife handles,
slabs of marble that were used
for butchering, glass bottles and
even several seemingly inexplicable colored glass marbles.
A Key West resident who
grew up in Old Town in the
1950s and ’60s shed light on
the mystery when he recalled

Turtle steaks and soup
remained on the menu at
Key West restaurant as late
as 1979, Malcom’s research
shows. He also found an original, unopened can of Key West
Turtle Soup with the 1950s label
intact, Kendrick said.
The museum’s permanent
exhibit would “interpret the
commercial activities and
what went on in that building,” Kendrick said. “We want
to talk not only about the
turtles, but about the building
itself. ... It would create a real
sense of space, and Corey has
done a significant amount of
1500s through its end in the
1970s.
If a city lease for the cannery building does not come
to fruition, the exhibit will
be installed at the Mel Fisher

Protesters, police clash in DC
BY NAFEESA SYEED
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — More
than 100 protesters upset with
the way world leaders have
handled the economic crisis
clashed with police Saturday
outside the International
Monetary Fund and World
Bank meetings.
Authorities used batons and
pepper spray when activists
tried to march onto a prohibited street, and several people

Probiotics?
by Mel
Eaton,
DDS
Referred to as “friendly” bacterial organism, the term probiotics is actually an ancient
remedy for balancing and
maintaining a healthy intestinal tract. Prior to refrigeration and processed foods, we
used to rely on eating more
fermented foods as well as
fresh foods which contained
“helpful” soil based bacteria.
Today we can find some of
these “good” bacterias in foods
like yogurt, sauerkraut, miso
soup, tempeh, and acidophilus milk. The imbalance of
the digestive tract can lead to
oral symptoms such as rampant decay of the roots of the
teeth, coated tongue, and bad
breath in addition to intestinal
disorders. The friendly bacteria when swallowed, move
through the stomach to the
intestines to form colonies on
the intestinal wall and compete
with harmful bacteria, yeast,
mold, and virus to take their
place. We need them because
they balance the pH and assist
with absorbing nutrients especially vitamin B3, B6, and folic
acid. Therapeutic antibiotics on
the other hand destroy both
good and bad bacteria. That
is why it is best to introduce a
probiotic after taking an antibiotic either in your food or
by capsule. Ask your Doctor
about it, especially when given
a broad-spectrum antibiotic.

by police. The protesters
swarmed officers unexpectedly, and police had to respond,
said D.C. police Capt. Jeffrey
Herold.
A 22-year-old man accused
of using pepper spray on an
officer during the scuffle was
arrested, D.C. police said.
Before the demonstrations
began, police arrested six people and accused them of vandalizing two banks, an incident that authorities think was
linked to the protests.
Protesters claimed police
responded without warning.
“This was very excessive,”
said the Rev. Don Thompson,
73, who was observing the protest on behalf of the National
Lawyers Guild. “They didn’t
give us a warning to get off the
street.”
Thompson was knocked to
the ground as police pushed
activists backward near an
IMF building. His elbow was
scraped and bleeding.
Two demonstrators were
taken to a hospital with minor
injuries, said D.C. fire department spokesman Billy Hayes.
Earlier, demonstrators tried
to block three intersections,
including an area near hotels
where they said meeting delegates were staying. But in
each case, the protesters were
steered back to the sidewalk
by police.
Nicole Davis, 22, of
Washington, who participated in one of the morning
blockades outside a hotel, said

Davis said IMF and World
Bank policies are hurting the
poor.
“Capitalism clearly is not

there needs to be a different

Racking Up The Medals
BY WILLIS JACOBSON

MARATHON — It was a memorable morning for the Bodnar family
Saturday on the Seven Mile Bridge.
Jason Bodnar, from Candler, N.C.,
pulled away from the pack for his
fourth win in the 28th annual Seven
Mile Bridge run, and his wife Jennifer,

who missed the race the last two years
to undergo treatments for breast cancer, finished a personal best third overall in the women’s division.
“I was more nervous for her because
she’s never had a podium finish,” Jason
said of his wife after winning the race
with a time of 34:06. “For her to come
back a year later and do what she did,
after all that she went through in the
last couple years, it was really motivational. That was a lot more special to
see her do that than any of my wins.”
Jason, 39, who also won the race in
2005, 2006 and 2007 — the only years
in which he competed — used a strong
tailwind on an overcast morning and
easily outran his nearest competition.
Andrew Greenridge, 44, from Coconut
Creek, came in second with a time of
37:02, and Jon Williams, 40, of Miami,
was third overall at 37:08.
“I really have been training hard for
one last hurrah,” said Jason Bodnar,
who wore a kilt to the post-race awards
ceremony. “I really didn’t have any concrete goals, I just wanted to run hard to
honor everybody else who was competing in the race.”
Marlene Persson, 39, of Deerfield
Beach, won the women’s division for
the second straight year — and third
time ever — with a time of 40:54, nearly
a minute ahead of the second-place
finisher, Nancy Frey, 48, of Boca Raton,
who clocked a time of 41:51.

Crosby helps Pens eliminate Flyers with 5-3 win
Ragan wins 1st with late pass at Talladega
PHILADELPHIA — Sidney Crosby stood near center ice,
answering questions from a television reporter while a few lingering fans berated him.
Crosby never flinched. He finished the interview and let the
scoreboard do his talking back to the fans.
Sergei Gonchar scored 2:19 into the third period and
the Penguins eliminated the Flyers with a 5-3 victory
Saturday in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference first-round
series.
“It felt good,” said Crosby, who scored the tying goal in the second period and had an empty-netter in the final minute. “We’ve
had huge rivalries over the years. It’s a loud building. They were
playing well and the crowd was into to it, so to hear a little silence
was gratifying.”
The Penguins, who beat the Flyers in the conference finals last
year, have to wait to find out who they’ll play next.
Meanwhile, the Flyers have to wait another year to pursue
their first Stanley Cup since 1975.
TALLADEGA, Ala. — David Ragan earned his first NASCAR
victory by passing Ryan Newman right before the finish
line in the Nationwide Series race Saturday at Talladega
Superspeedway.
Ragan won for the first time in 196 starts — 85 in Nationwide
— spanning all three of NASCAR’s top series.
“We’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” Ragan said. “I
didn’t know if it would come this weekend or not. A lot of fun.
A lot of emotions. We’ve got 500 miles to do it again tomorrow.”
Newman started from the pole and led the field on a final
restart for a two-lap sprint to the finish. He had his hands full
with Dale Earnhardt Jr., who followed him bumper-to-bumper as he looked for a chance to pass.
But Newman and Earnhardt made contact when Earnhardt
tried to dart around him on the final lap. Ragan used some
momentum off a push from Joey Logano and squeezed by
Newman for the win.

NBA: HEAT 107, HAWKS 78
NFL: THE DRAFT
Miami rolls past Atlanta,
takes 2-1 lead in series
BY TIM REYNOLDS
MIAMI — Dwyane Wade swished a 3-pointer,
then turned and shook his hand like it was
burning.
Yep, Wade and the Miami Heat are that hot
right now.
Wade finished with 29 points and eight
assists, Jermaine O’Neal added 22 points and
10 rebounds, and the Heat extended Atlanta’s
decade-plus road playoff drought, beating the
Hawks, 107-78, Saturday night in Game 3 of
their Eastern Conference first-round matchup.
It was over early: Atlanta missed 17 of its first
19 shots, and a 25-6 Heat run to end the first half
pushed the lead to 50-29.
“We knew there would be a lot of energy in the
building, so we played off that early,” Wade said.
“And defensively we came out very tough.”
Josh Smith, Al Horford and Mike Bibby scored
13 apiece for Atlanta, which is 0-12 in road playoff games since May 8, 1997, losing all but one
by at least 10 points.
The Heat lead the series 2-1 and host Game 4
Monday night.
“No more excuses,” Horford said. “We’re going
to have to bring it fuego on Monday.”
When teams split the first two games of an
NBA series, the Game 3 winner advances 76 percent of the time. And in recent years, the edge
has been even more pronounced — of the last
27 series that were tied at 1-1, the Game 3 winner ultimately prevailed on 22 occasions.
That’s a bad sign for the Hawks.
“By any means, we’re not out of it,” Hawks
coach Mike Woodson said. “But we can’t come
out and give effort like we did tonight. I just
thought the Heat did everything that they were
supposed to do and we just didn’t answer the
bell tonight.”
Before the game, the Hawks learned starting
small forward Marvin Williams would sit out
with a wrist injury. Their first shot of the night
was from Horford, a 15-foot jumper that fell 2
feet shy of the rim.
It only got worse from there, especially with
Wade at his highlight-reel best.
Defensively, he set the tone with a two-hand
erasure of a shot by Mo Evans in the opening minutes, then a high-rising effort to swat
an offering from Zaza Pachulia into the most
expensive seats late in the third. Plus, he had
dunks over two of the Hawks’ biggest challengers — Smith got out of Wade’s way on one, and
Horford offered little resistance on another.

the line started peeling from the reel. I set the
hook and we netted one of the biggest mangrove snappers I have ever seen. “That was just
a fluke,” my jealous boat-mates exclaimed.
However, they had no comment when, two
minutes later, another piece of chum attracted
and landed a gorgeous 21-inch mutton snapper. “Cat got your tongues, boys? What was that
about a fluke? Don’t you guys want to catch
anything, too? Would you guys like to buy a Cy’s

I love fishing. I love catching. And, I love the
teasing. But, only when I am the “tease-or”
and not the “tease-ee.” Obviously, I was having
an excellent time. Then, just as is so common
in fishing…the bite died. No big deal, we had
our limit of fresh fish, we had a great time, we
logged a couple of new way points in the GPS
and we teased each other unmercifully. What
could be better?
Now, back to the new secret, for the last time.
I had a chance to fish that area again. We were
marking fish and using the chum basket that
left the big pieces of chum. I put several different pieces of the chum on a green Cy’s Fly and
gave it a whirl. Nothing. No bites. No bragging
rights. I replaced the chum pieces with my
usual squid strip, and six nice yellowtails came
to the boat. This is not what I had expected, but
I will take it. As my buddies in Orlando use to
say, “Such is life in the world of the fisherman.”
Keep fishing, keep trying things, watch

blobs. “This looks great,” I yelled to my fishing
buddies, “Let’s give it a shot.” We put out a block
of chum and started catching legal yellowtails
one right after another. This was great. The
water depth was only around 40 feet and the
yellowtails were getting bigger. My friends and I
don’t keep fish that we are not going to eat right
away. So, with a mess of yellowtails in the cooler,
we decided to move to slightly deeper water and
look around for more “fishy” areas.
We got to 60 feet of water and, sure enough,
more fish on the bottom. After we threw the
anchor, I noticed that there were some left-over
chum pieces in the chum basket. My buddy,
Larry, uses a metal basket with smaller holes
than the one I use, and it had trapped some
larger pieces of chum inside. Instead of throwing this away, I kept it. We put out a new basket
of chum and prepared to fish. I was using my

its third title in the million-dollar
tournament’s seven-year history.
The team, with owner Kitt Toomey,
earned more than $340,000.
Under Capt. Quinton Dieterle for
the first time, with crew Peter Miller,
Kelly Mayo, Jon Cooper, Cap Hinkley
and Claudio Martinez, Get Lit won by
three releases over Team Excavator,

captained by Brandon Mullar.
Weez in the Keys, captained by
Dave Morris, also released 19 sailfish,
but was third on time.
The top three teams in the 77boat fleet all achieved more than
14 releases. An overall tournament
record of 564 releases was set.
Lines out a week ago Thursday
marked the end of the regular part
of the inaugural Sailfish Pro Series, a
season-long NASCAR style point race
culminating in a post-season playoff.
The post-season finale in Miami will
involve the top five point-leaders and
one wild card team competing for
the title. Team Rock Star came out on
top followed by Advanced Roofing,
Jichi, Weez in the Keys, Hostile and
wild card winner Team Cracker.

Running
Jennifer Bodnar, 37, finished
in 43:48. It was her third time
competing in the run.
“I just wanted to beat my
previous time, and I was able
to do that, so I was happy,” she
said. “I’m just happy to be out
here running and to be able to
race. It was a great feeling.”
Bodnar said she had just one
thought after crossing the finish line.
“I’m glad it’s over,” she said
with a smile. “It’s been a long
journey.”
Fourteen-year-old Jeffrey
Tait, of Miami, turned some
heads with his overall fifthplace finish. Tait, who has competed in six previous bridge
runs, topped his personal best
by nearly three minutes with
a time of 38:19. Some of the
other runners were a little surprised to see Tait’s small frame
blowing past them.
“I heard a lot of people saying, ‘Oh, he’s going to die right
away,’” said Tate, who estimates
he runs in about 40 5Ks a year.
WILLIS JACOBSON/The Citizen
Fourteen-year-old Jeffrey Tait finished overall in fifth place.
“I just kept going. My goal was
to get a PR and finish in under
40 minutes, and I was able to
do it. It felt great.”
Key West boxer Sergi
Ganjelashvili, 26, placed second in his age group and was
12th overall with a time of

near the end, however, when
he did some posing and shadow-boxing for the cameras just

before the finish line.
“I was looking to finish in
the top three, but I didn’t get
a lot of time to really train,”
Ganjelashvili said. “I know I
can do better, but there’s always
next time.”
He had a tough time coming
up with what was harder —
running the Seven Mile Bridge
or stepping the squared circle.
“They’re
both
tough,
but they’re both fun,” said
Ganjelashvili, who hopes to get
back in the ring in early May. “I
like boxing, but I need this, too.
If I run more, I can box more.”
In all, 1,500 compeitors aged
8-78 raced in the event, which
started in 1982.
“This race is not really
about winning, or at least it
isn’t to me,” Jason Bodnar
said. “It’s more about all 1,500
people competing and having a good time. It’s a great
celebration of the sport and
what we do.”
He also had a little added
motivation to win, however.
“I have a terrible fear of
bridges,” Bodnar added. “I just
tried to get the heck off that
thing.”

Our WWII
‘burden’
BY RICK BOETTGER
HELP WANTED
Special to The Citizen
he recent tax day “tea bag” protests were controversial, but even
opponents agreed about two
seemingly undeniable facts: The growing
national debt is an unsustainable burden
to our grandchildren/children, and that
no nation can borrow and spend itself to
prosperity.
Today I will deny these fallacies. Further,
I want to warn you that our greatest danger is believing and acting badly because
of them.
World War II is a single example that disproves both. Our national debt quintupled
— yes, became five times as big in four
years. If you’re worried about a “burden” to
anyone’s children and grandchildren, well
hey, we are the children and grandchildren
of that Greatest Generation, who defeated
the Nazis and Japan.
That generation never “paid off” the
$288 billion it cost to win WWII. Folks,
that number and this terrible world they
left us are the so-called “burdens” we
have to bear. Isn’t it horrible? We’re stuck
with 55 years of being the most powerful,
successful and generous nation on earth,
defenders of freedom and the envy of all.
Alternatively, we could have saved the $288
billion and all be speaking German now,
rich with memories of our fiscal responsibility in the 1940s.
The point is not the debt number; it is
what you buy with it. Zimbabwe’s debt
buys Swiss bank accounts for its leaders.
Thus they’re collapsing. Our debt wins
wars, builds schools, improves medical
coverage, repairs infrastructure, encourages renewable energy and employs idle
millions. That makes us greater.
Who had that much money to lend us
in those cataclysmic times? No one. We in
fact borrowed it from ourselves, mostly by
the Federal Reserve issuing bonds which
it then bought itself with newly created
money. They wrote checks they freshly
printed themselves, at low interest rates for
the duration of the war. We borrowed and
spent ourselves into prosperity then, and
it’s what we’re doing again today.
It’s neither a trick nor magic. The simple
fact is, our money is sound because of our
immense national wealth of things to buy.
We and the international free enterprise
system we built has abundantly created
all of the food, shelter, vacations, hospitals
and entertainment anyone could want,
and then some. That is why the government can and indeed should print and
spend more money while lowering our
taxes.
The only “burden” will be some scary big
numbers called “debt” or “money supply,”
while the reward will be a stronger, healthier, safer nation whose citizens have good
jobs and decent retirement plans.
What can stop us? If too many people
falsely believe the sky is falling, they can
create a completely unnecessary panic

resume and interview preparation, working from

“We’ve had some great speakers. I’ve learned
a lot myself,” Gerbracht said. “I’ve never had a
problem getting a job before. But yet I’m still
getting little bits of information that have helped
me.”
Over the past few weeks Gerbracht has heard

she said, returning to the couch. “People are

Diner to merge with Rib Daddy’s
BY STEVE GIBBS
Citizen Staff
KEY LARGO — Patrons of Kountry
Kitchen will soon have to visit the
local rib joint for breakfast.
Bob Marshall, owner of the Mile
Marker 102 diner, is consolidating
the breakfast and lunch operation with his Rib Daddy’s Steak &
Seafood restaurant a quarter mile
north.
Marshall bought the two businesses from the Lee Ganim family
in 2004. While he owns the rib restaurant building, Kountry Kitchen
has operated in a building owned
by the Frances “Skip” Shaw family.
Marshall’s lease there expires June 1.
“We’ll move before our lease
expires,” Marshall said. “We’ll need
a week to work the bugs out before
Mother’s Day. That’s a huge day for
breakfast.”
Kountry Kitchen serves breakfast
and lunch until 2 p.m. daily. Rib
Daddy’s opens at 11 a.m. and serves
lunch and dinner.
“Our staff is moving with us,”
Marshall said. “We’re only losing
two employees.”
His daughter, Jamie Marshall,
who manages Rib Daddy’s, said the
Kountry Kitchen breakfast menu
will stay the same, although some
prices will increase.
“We are taking the best of both
lunch menus and combining them,”
she said.

serve breakfast from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The restaurant is open until 9 p.m.

Ask the right questions during a job interview
BY ERIN CONROY
NEW YORK — You may think
you know what it takes to nail a
job interview — how your cover
letter should look, what to wear,
how to make your greatest weaknesses sound like strengths. But
just before the parting handshake,
what will you ask your prospective
employer?
Crafting the right questions for
the interviewer will display confidence and knowledge about the
company. While asking the wrong
questions can make you appear
unqualified or even desperate.
It’s important to note that, the
worst thing you can do is decline
to ask questions, said Stephen
Tryon, senior vice president of
logistics and talent management
at Overstock.com. It could show
laziness or, worse, a lack of interest. Still, you want to avoid asking questions that can easily be
researched on the company’s Web
Resources

reports about a local medical
receptionist position that had 300
applicants and a data entry position at a bank for which nearly 600
people applied.
“People are really freaked,” she
said. “Jobs are getting snatched up
before they can even hit the street.”
Local resources
Despite all the dire news, there
are local resources for unemployed
individuals of all walks of life.
The South Florida Workforce
One-Stop Career Center provides
recruiting and placement services,
help with job searches, assistance
with filing for unemployment
forms, training, career counseling,
resume and interviewing assistance
and more. The majority of its services are free.
Employer Consultant Kristie
Hernandez said the center in recent
months has seen a drastic increase
in the number of people it serves.
About 50 people a day used to come
through its doors. That number
now averages closer to 80 people on
most days.
Jean Zeman came to the center for career counseling back in
December, after losing her job as a
charter and group sales representative for Historic Tours of America’s
train and trolley tours.
“I was told the economy was bad
site, or about pay and benefits
packages — at least during the
initial interview.
"Hiring is like a blind date, and
nobody knows how it’s going to
work out," Tryon said. "But in that
encounter, you should offer good
value for their time and ask questions that will really determine
whether you’re a good match — or
not."
Do your homework:
It’s a good idea to ask very specific questions that demonstrate
your knowledge about the company and that you’ve done your
research, said Doug Arms, chief
talent officer for Ajilon Professional
Staffing. This can be about products, competitors or the company’s
strategic plan.
"It’s important how you phrase
the questions and cite things
you’ve already learned," Arms said.
"A good question might be about
how the company has poised itself
for growth in the past. You might
be able to use that response to help
formulate your own answers during future interviews."
You should limit yourself to three
questions, Arms said, and make
sure they’re short and to the point.
Showing an interest in the company’s culture and asking about
management style will also help
you determine whether the job is
a good fit, said career coach Jo
Singel.
Learn about the job:
Finding out why the position is
open is great for insight about the
job itself and what the employer would like done differently,
according to Jennifer Warne, senior
recruiting specialist for consulting
firm Towers Perrin.
You’ll also want to ask for specific
details about how performance is
measured, and whether your interviewer sees potential gaps in your
experience, she said.
"This can be a really great opportunity to assess and address problems head on," Warne said. "Often
times the interviewer will give you
an honest response, and it will
give you a good idea of where you
stand."
Arms and Singel give these
examples of strong questions to
ask about the job:
• How long have you been trying
to fill this position?
• What does daily life in this job
entail?
• How do you evaluate success?
• What are you expecting from
me in the first 60 days I’m working
here?
• What kind of orientation program do you have for new employees?
• What have others who’ve
worked with you said about your
leadership?
• How much confidence do you
have in your team right now?
• What’s more important to you,
productivity or creativity?
"At the end, don’t forget to ask
for the job," Singel said. "Tell them
you want it. A lot of people forget
to do that."
and they were cutting back,” the 56year-old said.
Being laid off was a devastating
event at this point in her life, she
said of the unexpected news. Her
job reviews had always been excellent, and she was booking more
business than ever.
“I thought I was protected,” she
said. “I had to pick myself up, dust
myself off and start over again.”
She spent the next few months
applying for nearly a dozen jobs
online and even doing walk-ins to
businesses throughout town. She
also attended Gerbracht’s support
group.
Zeman said at first she was
embarrassed to go to the center
because she felt there was a stigma
associated with being unemployed.
She quickly learned she was just
one of many in the same situation,
and she said she was treated with
dignity and respect by the staff.
Lucky for Zeman, the One-Stop
Career Center recently had an inhouse job opening for a program
specialist, and Zeman just completed her first week on the job.
The career center has expanded
from eight employees to 22 with
help from federal stimulus money.
The money also is allowing the
center to expand its training programs.
The ITA program provides training
at Florida Keys Community College
in nearly a dozen areas, including
business administration, computer
information technology, emergency
medical technician, marine engi-
neering and nursing, among others.
The one- and two-year programs
will provide participants with either
a certificate or associate degree.
Some financial assistance is
available, but the program focuses
primarily on “dislocated” workers,
meaning those who receive food
stamps and welfare assistance, have
a criminal background or struggling
veterans.
The center also provides help
for employers, including skills testing for job applicants, collecting
resumes and interviewing. Its Web
site links to job banks.
It’s On-the-Job Training program
allows employers to recoup up to
50 percent of wages paid to each
participant in the program for a certain period of time. The Employed
Worker Training program reimburses up to 50 percent of training costs
for current employees to upgrade
their skills to help them retain their
job. Training expenses can include
instructors’ salaries, curriculum
development and textbook/manuals. Both programs have certain
restrictions and requirements.
comfort zone,” Gerbracht said,
underscoring that people shouldn’t
wait until their unemployment runs
out and they are in a more desperate situation to begin looking for
ways to acquire new skills.
“Someone might have been a
banker or a teacher, always was
interested in marine science or
being a florist, and now is the time
to get exposure in that new field,”
she said.
Gerbracht has been trying to
update her computer skills online
by taking free tutorials on the
Microsoft.com Web site at night
and looking for other free Webcasts
online.
“I went to the library and took an
Excel refresher class,” she said. “It
doesn’t seem like much, but it really
does help.”
Gerbracht said she’s begun to
look at every job she ever had or
been slightly interested in and focus
on what interested her about it and
whether it is a viable field to find her
new career path.
“I would like to come out of this
with maybe the ability to get a better job that crosses into more of
the graphic design or Web building,
which I would never have thought
of as a career if I had not been
forced to do that,” she said. “You
just have to move forward and be
positive and think of opportunities
ahead.”

Time for reinvention
Gerbracht and Hernandez both
said it’s important for people out
of work to realize they might need
to reinvent themselves or learn a
whole new set of skills.

That’s a wrap
Ahead of its time
BY LESLIE LINSLEY
I
’ve just returned to
Nantucket, Mass.,
after a winter in Key
West and have been
reporting on the state of affairs, as I’ve
perceived them in regard to the retail business. I feel as though I’ve had a peek into
the future of our Nantucket season that will
soon be upon us.
As the Key West season is just winding
down I thought you might like to hear
from an outsider how your community
has fared. It’s a loose consensus, but it was
pretty positive.
The home furnishing stores reported
business slightly higher than the same time
last year, and so I am looking forward to the
same sort of results here in Nantucket. This
is what visitors from all over the country
were buying for their homes:
Decorative pillows were high on the list
followed by quilted throws, small occasional pieces of furniture, small accessories
such as trays, candleholders and unusual
vases for entertaining. Handmade crafts
such as pottery were reportedly “hot” for a
three-dimensional art piece to display, but
more for function.
Useful objects were more desirable, but
people liked the idea of having something
handmade to hold everyday objects rather
than something from Kmart that could
serve the same purpose. For example,
handmade ceramic coffee mugs, while
more expensive than those from Pier 1
Imports, provide a more enjoyable experience, look good on a shelf, and purchasing
a handmade mug isn’t such a great expense
for this small pleasure.
When interviewed, one knowledgeable
owner of a rather nice home-style store told
me that customers are staying home more,
nesting and entertaining more than going
out for dinner as often as they used to. In
this regard they are assessing their homes
and adding or replacing items that seem
tired.
“It’s an inexpensive way to upgrade your
lifestyle and still have fun shopping,” said
one store owner.
“A really nice throw pillow or quilt is a
relatively inexpensive way to give a room
a lift,” said Patty O’Conner, owner of Key
Accents, one of my regular haunts.
Maxine Makover, owner of Knit Wits Key
West, an upscale yarn shop on Whitehead
Street, reported a better February than last
year. It seems that when people stay home
more they enjoy making something for
themselves.
“The higher-end yarns were most popular,” she said, explaining that people on
vacation look for something unusual and
perhaps more exotic than the run-of-themill. Cruises devoted to knitters gave her
store a boost as well.
“It’s amazing, but knitters are quite dedicated and will do their homework, seeking
out a yarn shop wherever they travel,” she
said.
She also provides a brilliant service called
“The Knit Express,” a “quickie” class for
those on the run.
On the art scene: The galleries, for the
most part, reported healthy sales. Local artist Debra Yates had a very successful show
of her new works at Lucky Street Gallery in
March. Local artists, those with a following,
did particularly well.
Betsy Dietz, who ran the art auction to
benefit Aids Help Inc. at the Casa Marina
Resort, said that while there were fewer
participants than in past years, the buying
was brisk and the paintings by local artists
were gobbled up for good prices. I was in
attendance and the audience of buyers was
enthusiastic — no coaxing needed. Lynn
Sherman’s painting was one of the highlights and satisfied both the charity and the
lucky buyer. A good sign that even in a slow
economy people will turn out for a good
cause.
The prevailing attitude from gallery owners is that people on vacation want to take
home a reminder of the place they are visiting, and small works in particular are desirable as a way to downsize in the economy
without compromising taste. They don’t
have to be shipped, and one can always
find a place to hang them.
Local folks continue to support the arts,
and the art scene is vibrant and active in

t’s easy to wander by Southard Square and
miss the residential compound tucked
into the mature garden of what used to be
dePoo Hospital. Even old-timers do double
takes at the former two-floor, cinder-block
structure that was built in 1958 and developed by Mark Barnett in 1985.
Back then, its appearance shifted as much
as its use when he added a third floor with
two front-gable roofs; when he stuccoed exterior walls and replaced a dirt parking lot with
big decks and fences and brick pathways; and
when he moved the administration building
back 8 feet from Southard Street and turned
the old purchasing department house at the
rear of the property into the compound’s pool
house.
See CONDOS, page 2D
The former dePoo Hospital’s purchasing department building is now the Southard Square compound’s
community pool house.
The open floor plan features a wall of glass sliding doors.

openings not only in galleries
but public buildings, offices
and even the local gyms locat-
ed within walking distance
of one another. I thought this
was a good idea because there
is more opportunity to show
paintings in settings other
than hanging in the galleries.
What I sensed as a serious shopper who spent a lot
one entry, although all have separate
entrances with private patios or balconies. Marilyn’s one-bedroom/ 1 1⁄2bath condo is located on the ground
floor near the central entrance to
Southard Square. The lush tropical
foliage almost hides the big stucco
arch to her covered patio.
“The plants offer additional privacy, but the residences are already
positioned for that,” she said. “I
spend a good deal of time on the
patio, but the glass sliding doors let
me feel like I’m in the garden even
when I’m sitting indoors.”
The interior arrangement of the
open living-and-dining floor plan
features a front window wall with
solid side walls that give way to a
hall, which runs the length of the
apartment. From the hall is entry to
the half bath/utility room, and to the
kitchen, where one wall of the compact and galley-like kitchen forms a
counter that spans almost the entire
width of the dining room. Rattan
stools at the counter serve informal
dining, while a rattan table with glass
top affords formal dining.
The airy ambiance of rattan furniture is ever present in side tables
and chairs, but some pieces such as
the 6-foot Tommy Bahama desk and
matching bookshelf create heavier
focal points. Their dark woods contrast with the soft green sofa and the
light tile floors that run throughout
the 800-square-foot condo.
“Because there are only a few
windows in this particular design, I
selected the off-white floor tiles to
brighten the space,” Marilyn Barnett
said. “Everything is pretty much original to what Mark installed 24 years
ago — for instance, the black appliances in the kitchen — but I do make
periodic changes to the furniture or
artwork.”
The long hallway is a natural gallery for Marilyn Barnett’s art collection, which features some pieces
painted by her daughter, Debbie. But
another décor shift is eminent when
Barnett returns a roll-top desk her
son Steven made when he was 16.
“He designed and made the entire
desk — everything, including the
slats on the roll top,” she said. “It will
be his again one day. I just can’t give
of time perusing the stores,
watching buying patterns and
talking to shop owners is that
there were fewer shoppers, but
they were all buying something. Less crowded stores
made the shopping experience
more enjoyable, and shop
it up yet.”
The desk anchors the corner wall
of the dining-living area where the
hallway begins. It ends at the bedroom, which is only slightly smaller
than the living area in front. Lots
of closets with shutter doors line
one wall, and an unusual mirrored
shower door in the master bath adds
the illusion of space to an already
spacious 16-by-13-foot room.

said. “I don’t worry about him barking or disturbing neighbors. It’s really
quiet because these old hospital walls
are so thick.”
As if to reinforce the win-win situation, Teddy applies his own special
brand of adaptive reuse: First he curls
up on a white fur rug in the bathroom, and as the urge hits him, shifts
to a green one next to the king-size
bed.

It is obvious that Americans
love to shop, especially while
on vacation. It makes us
happy, and in a small way we
are doing our part to stimulate
the economy. We can always
justify it if we feel we are getting good value. The days of

Reach Solares Hill
Solares Hill 10 Years Ago
In our issue of April 30, 1999, Alyson Crean reported on
the high price of a Key West hotel room. “Key West Rates
Higher Than Most Caribbean Resorts” went the headline.
“During high season, visitors to the island will pay anywhere from $114 per night for a utilitarian motel room
away from the water [Econolodge] to upwards of $1,400
per night for complete waterfront luxury [Pier House].
“A night at the Casa Marina or the Reach Resort, both
Marriott properties, will run between $295 and $695 per
night. A night in the Nassau Bahamas Marriott property will
cost from $169 to $299.
“A Key West Best Western runs from $179 to $239 per
night while a similar room in New York City costs $75 to
$125. (The Waldof Astoria offers rooms for $280 ‘and up.’)
“Visitors to Key West can enjoy the waterfront at the
Galleon for somewhere between $175 and $495 per night.
Waterfront luxury in Lake Tahoe ranges from $79 to $120
per night.
“Throughout the Caribbean, hotel rooms begin around
$75 and top out at $400, with most falling in the range of
$200.
“Matt Babich, president of the Key West Hotel Motel
Association, while noting that Key West is an expensive
place to do business, said “the success of our market shows
that we are not over-priced. Our challenge is as a destination as a whole, to create a better product. People find the
things here they can’t find in their real lives. To remain successful, we need to see that guests are safe, that we offer
a unique, clean community, protect our natural environment
and give good service.”

An Earth Day Call to Keep Our Trash Away From Animals
By Dona DeMaria
and Maya Totman
H
ow many people can
say they live on a
chain of islands? Not
many at all, which is why
these wonderful islands
should be kept in pristine
condition.
If the Florida Keys keep
getting treated like they
are now, then there will no
longer be anything special
about it. Has anyone gone
anywhere and not seen
trash? This is a huge problem in the Keys, both on
our lands and in our waters.
Plastics and PVC, motor oil
and gasoline, Styrofoam,
pesticides and poisons
— all are thoughtlessly discarded and a threat to our
wildlife.
Littering is one of Earth’s
greatest environmental
problems and one of Earth’s
simplest problems to solve,
yet there is still trash and
other debris tainting the
ecosystems of the Florida
Keys. If everyone took the
extra step to relocate their
trash to a designated trash
can instead of leaving litter lying around, not only
would the islands look better but hundreds of animals
would be saved.
There are more and more
calls from people concerned about wild animals
caught in fishing line or
different types of trash. It is
imperative that people take
some responsibility. If you
are fishing and your line
gets caught on something,
don’t just cut it and leave it.
Days, weeks, even months
or years later, that line can
cause needless suffering to
a wild animal. Not only is
it dangerous for wildlife if
fishing lines, lures, hooks,
lead sinkers, etc. are left
on and under bridges or
in water around the mangroves, but there are also
bylaws in place that restrict

The best way to help
animals is to stop these
problems from happening.
If you like to fish, or have
friends or family who do,
please research and abide
by the laws and bylaws pertaining to your favorite
fishing bridges, boating and
so on, and help prevent the
unnecessary suffering of
wild animals. A pelican

starving to death because

animals. Seabirds mistake
disposable lighters, plastic
bottle cups and other bits
and pieces of flotsam for
food, or they ingest these
items while gathering fish
eggs and squid from the
ocean, then regurgitate
them to their young. The
birds die of starvation while
their stomachs are full of
plastic. And cigarette butts

make their nests; the filters
may still contain toxins and
other chemicals that the

“One seedy bar on a
side street in Key West
advertised its wares on a
scrawled sign: ‘Live Girls
Upstairs.’ Beats the alternative, I suppose.”
So writes Jay Parini,
professor of English at
Middlebury College, whose
historical novel about the
final days of Leo Tolstoy,
“The Last Station,” is now
a Hollywood film. His subject is the Key West Literary
Seminar and the story
appears in the May issue of
Atlantic.
Key West, writes Parini,
is where “novelists, playwrights and poets continue
to hide out from northern
winters among the island’s
leafy palms and clapboard
Conch houses, largely
ignoring the bawdy revels
that take place every night
on Duval Street.”
Now in its third decade,
the Seminar is where, in
January this year, Parini
joined Gore Vidal and others — the “heavy hitters in
the world of historical fiction” — for “something like
pre-spring training.”
Regarding historical fiction, Parini points out that
any writing transmogrified
by memory becomes fiction (from the Latin fictio,
meaning “shaping”). “I once
asked Peter Ackroyd, the
English novelist and biographer, what the difference
was between his novels and
his biographies. He said to
me, in his deadpan way, ‘In
biographies you can make
things up. In novels you are
obliged to tell the truth.’”
Walking along Duval
Street on the last day of the
seminar, Parini concludes
with this pair of paragraphs:
“I wondered about the
potent, combustible mix
of reality and imagination,
something that confronts
all writers. What is real?
What is made-up?
“Suddenly, a large woman
wearing a python as a necklace asked me if I wanted to
pet him. ‘He’s real,’ she said.
A muscular young man
stood in the dark doorway
of a gay disco, in nothing
but a thong. He waved at
me. In fact, he might have
even winked.”

tracking ship, the Gen. Hoyt
S. Vandenberg, arrived here
for its sinking.
Smith Maritime and the
crew of the tug Elsbeth
III performed the perfect
docking. The Vandenberg
looked more ghastly even
than Dick Cheney, just as
alone and just as sinkable.
It is a ship that spent the
1960s eavesdropping on
Russian missile launches
and when it was retired in
1983, a crew of six technicians came aboard every six
months just to power up its
electronics. The monster tub
was finally struck from the
naval register in 1993 and its
last public exposure, until
now, was as a Russian ship
alongside Jamie Lee Curtis
and Donald Sutherland in a
movie called “Virus” (hence
the Cyrillic letters on its
rusting hulk that so baffled
us onshore).
The Vandenberg has
joined the Western Union
and the Mohawk to provide,
for a while, a sort of navy
at the waterfront. Former
newspaper publisher Bill
Barry pointed out that the
Western Union, currently
keelhauled at the dock,
and the Vandenberg are
both vastly different vessels that happen to have
been involved in communications, the Western
Union with cable and the
Vandenberg with the space
program. “Different legacies,” said Barry, “but both
ships are a benefit to us
now. And one will float.”
The scuttling takes place
toward the end of the May.
Six miles south of Key West,
in 140 feet of water, the
Vandenberg will become the
second largest artificial reef
in the world.
Commissioner Bill Verge,
number-one civic official
behind the project, seemed

Pulling No Punches in a World Turned Upside Down

here are many fine
civil rights memoirs
out there — by politicians, preachers, activists
and ordinary foot soldiers,
white and black. Notably
absent, however, are books
by those who were simply
caught up in the turmoil
and attempted to do the
right thing.
Of such is “A New Day in
the Delta: Inventing School
Desegregation As You Go”
by David W. Beckwith, a
gripping account of one
man’s struggles as a callow
white teacher who, to his
own considerable astonishment, found himself on the
cutting edge of a seismic
social transformation.
Today Beckwith lives on
Little Torch Key and in Vero
Beach, where he works in
the financial sector. But 40
years ago he was a newly
minted college graduate in
need of a job and anxious
to avoid the draft. When
he was hired to teach in an
all-black high school, he
suppressed his nervousness
and went in with an open
mind.
Nothing about Beckwith’s
upbringing had prepared
him for what he was about
to experience. He was the
well-educated product
of a loving and secure
middle-class household
who’d had little meaningful contact with poor
people of any race. When
he assumed his duties as a
history teacher at Abraham
Lincoln Attendance Center
in Leland, Miss., he entered
a world where two-parent
families were the exception and years of vicious
discrimination had blighted
the students.
During his first weeks,
Beckwith found it nearly
impossible to maintain
even a modicum of control
as restive and resentful students tested his willpower
and patience. “Most of my
days seemed to start badly,”
he recalls. “Each began with
a series of skirmishes that
more often than not escalated into battles, which then,
the people was go out in the
street and do number 1 and
number 2 in road.”
To his credit, Beckwith
did not quit but rather
believed in the kids and
persevered. But any hopes
of a smooth future were disrupted when federal court
orders inexorably forced
the mixing of the black
and white school populations. Months of near chaos
resulted — senseless fights,
angry confrontations with
hate-filled parents, and

none more impressive than
the school’s assistant principal, Caldwell M. Bibbs,
“respected by both races
and all ages.” Bibbs was an
administrator of the old
school, seemingly equal
to any challenge. “Light
complexioned, mostly
bald, physically strong and
outwardly unemotional, he
led by sending an unspoken message that he cared
but that he would not put
up with any misbehavior.”
When sterner measures
were required, Bibbs resorted to a cotton-gin strap he
referred to as “black power.”
This is an important book
that will resurrect many
uncomfortable memories
for those who actually
experienced the first shocks
of school desegregation.
Though ultimately positive,
the book pulls no punches
in its portrait of a world
turned upside down.

occurred this year at
the normally rather

Now in its 15th year at
the Heritage House, the
festival awards prizes
to poems submitted by
middle-school, high school

more or less limited to 17

When the five judges
were done, the top prize in
the adult division went to a
haiku — or rather a series
of haiku — that was essentially an “anti-haiku,” doing
battle against haiku on
behalf of the animals and
making for strange company with the three winners
of the haiku division itself.
Winner of the adult division is Marsh Muirhead of

The music, taken by itself,

have been hard for the

the songs were long recitatives, sometimes running
several minutes, rather
than standard 32-bar tunes
where good melodies are
fairly easy to construct. And
the show had only the loosest kind of structural unity.
It was a series of autobiographical musical sketches
without a real frame, like,
for example, the one in “A

power last weekend from
the cumulative effect of its

two comic turns as frustrated wives, one on the verge
of suicide, the other (oddly
a little out of character with
the rest of the show) as the
wife of Santa Claus, stuck
once again with spending
Christmas alone and hating it.
Kevin Odekirk had the
most complex pieces to deal
with dramatically, one having to do with the impact
on a young man of a father’s
business failure, the other
a relationship with a hopelessly manipulative lover.
He expressed the entire
range of each situation.
The outstanding performer of the evening — by
a small margin, given the
excellence of the others
— was L’Tarsha Long. In
“Christmas Lullaby” she
gave a powerful statement
of faith; when she sang “I’m
Not Afraid of Anything,”
she made you believe it.
I fail entirely to understand why she isn’t famous
already. I’ve mentioned my
admiration for her work
in the past, citing her fine
musicianship, her easy but
compelling stage presence
and her clear, intense emotional honesty. All that was
there in this concert and in
addition there were always
surprises, nuances of vocal
production adding that little bit of extra intensity that
insists on and drives home
the emotion. And in a duet
as half of a reunited couple
with Odekirk, he had the
opening passage while she
stood there silently, her
feelings clear in her face
and body, a strong presence
but not at all obtrusive, not
in any sense upstaging him.
It was the perfect way for
her to be where she was.
For the past 11 years the
Key West Symphony has set
a welcome high standard
here for orchestral music.
This show was a departure
in terms of genre but not at
all in terms of quality.

Nathaniel Anthony Ayers
is a real-life person, a virtuoso musician who suffered a mental breakdown
during his second year at
Juilliard. The doctors diagnosed it as schizophrenia.
After years with his mother,
he moved to Los Angeles
when she died, searching
for his father. Not surprisingly, he wound up living
on the streets, playing a
broken-down cello for spare
change.
A Los Angeles Times

personality of Ayers. And
Robert Downey Jr. (“Iron
Man”) steps up to the mark
as newspaperman Steve
Lopez.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that results in
misperceptions of reality. It
can manifest itself as auditory hallucinations, paranoia, disorganized thinking
and social dysfunction.
It affects about one-half
percent of the population.
Genetics and neurobiology
seem to be at the root of the
psychosis.
This is a meaty role
for Foxx, reminiscent of
Geoffrey Rush’s turn as
pianist David Helfgott in
“Shine.” Like Nathaniel
Ayers, Australian prodigy
Helfgott also suffered from
a schizoaffective disorder.
British director Joe Wright
is best known for his takes
on “Pride and Prejudice”
and “Atonement.” Here
he captures an incisive
snapshot of the American
scene, replete with disposable street people and
empathetic newspaper
reporters. Perhaps being a
Brit, he sees it from a more
objective and observational
viewpoint.
Story aside, you will focus
on the two lead actors.
Born as Eric Marlon
Bishop, Jamie Foxx is considered a triple threat: an
actor, stand-up comedian
and musician. His stage
name is a tribute to the late
comedian Redd Foxx. Jamie
started performing in comedy clubs on a dare from a
girlfriend, then won a regular slot on TV’s “In Living
Color.” After a run on his
own TV sitcom, he broke
into movies in 1997 with
the somewhat forgettable
“Booty Call.” Eventually
drawing on his musical talent, he snagged an Oscar
for his role as blind singer
Ray Charles in “Ray” (2004).
He was also nominated for
“Collateral” that same year.
Foxx is spot-on in his
woozy schizoid interpretation of Nathaniel Ayers. But
the anchor of “The Soloist”
is Robert Downey Jr.’s character — for we see Ayers
through the eyes of newspaperman Steve Lopez.
Downey is an actor equal

Judith Butler explores a San

Unfortunately, these eight
philosophers — Cornel
West, Avital Ronell, Peter
Singer, Kwame Anthony
Appiah, Martha Nussbaum,
Michael Hardt, Judith
Butler and Slavoj Zizek
— don’t explore much
new territory, seemingly
content at “summarizing
some of their main ideas or
repeating riffs they’ve done
before,” says one critic.
It would’ve seemed best
to evaluate “Examined
Life” as a whole, but these
diverse philosophical soliloquies don’t lend themselves
to a thematic interpretation. The film is more like a
Whitman’s Sampler of current philosophical thinking.
Thus we’re left to pick at
individual personalities,
noting Avital Ronell’s narcissistic arrogance, Cornell
West’s “dazzling high culture jive talk,” or Zizek’s
fidgety pronouncements
that are obviously designed
to provoke.
As Avital Ronell says early
in the film, “We don’t know
where this film is going to
land, whom it’s going to
shake up, wake up, or freak
out, or bore…”
“Examined Life” doesn’t

sores, kidney failure, stomach ulcers and the inability
to stand.
McQueen’s art films are
typically projected onto
walls of an art gallery
rather than theater screens.
Usually shot in black and
white, Andy Warhol has
been cited as the influence
of these minimalist films.
“Hunger” is a more traditional Technicolor telling.
McQueen won the prestigious Caméra d’Or award
for first-time filmmakers at
2008 Cannes Film Festival.
The raw brutality of
prison life is shown with
unblinking starkness. In
this era of Abu Ghraib and
Guantanamo Bay, you’ll
watch this movie about the
treatment of political prisoners in a new light.

Susan Bailey and Richard Buckheim: Objects and Abstractions
‘Monotype No. 14’ by Richard Buckheim.
‘A Tribute to Fred Astaire’ by Susan Bailey.
By Joel Blair
L
‘Life History’ by Susan Bailey.
ucky Street Gallery presents the viewer with an
interesting and unusual
experience this month: A joint
exhibit with Susan Bailey and
Richard Buckheim, two married artists whose works, quite
different in media and method, are complementary in that
both reveal seasoned artistic
experience and considerable
technical accomplishment.
Bailey creates assemblages
and constructions from a
variety of disparate objects.
When I first saw her work several years ago, she was using
discarded books as objects to
turn into art. In the current
exhibit, she turns her various
materials into three-dimen-

sional collages that focus on
time and movement.
Over the years, Bailey has
collected several wooden
shoe fasts, forms that are
used to shape leather into
women’s shoes. Other objects
are skates, antique spurs and
modern casters.
On a low platform, “A
Tribute to Fred Astaire” combines the shoe fast, three casters and two metal flying wires
that end in hard plastic floating tails. The shoe fasts and
the flying wires suggest both
motion and grace. The whimsical juxtaposition of various
materials and shapes accounts
for much of the charm of the
piece. And note the shadows.
“Life History” appears to be
a wall clock, with shoe trees as
two ends of the clock pendulum. A real clock spring hangs
from the bottom of the piece.
The joining of the mechanical and the personal (the shoe
trees) justifies the title.
“Process” is a fairly complicated piece that has an
imposing wooden base. A
shoe fast forms the basis of
the piece. From that projects
a metal knob that has a zigzag
metal piece coming out of it,
which resembles comic book
notations of fast motion or
the winged shoes of Mercury.
From the edge of the shoe
form is a metal spring with
a small bundle at its end.
Whatever the “Process” is, it is
amusing and visually exciting.
Richard Buckheim is an
abstract painter, who notes
‘New Territory’ by Richard Buckheim.
that his recent work is a return
to the abstract expressionism of his youth. He usually
paints on large canvases with
“focus on paint and composition, spontaneity and color
compatibility.” Recently he
has also begun making monotypes, smaller prints that allow
relatively quick involvement
with paint and then a pressing
of the single reverse image.
Like most of these images,
“Monotype #14” has a top of
a few shades of black. In the
lower half, Buckheim concocts his own color, in this
case an interesting orange.
Using a small roller as well
as a brush, the painter has
most of his action occurring
in the lower half of the print,
although there is a white spiral
line coming down out of the
black, probably cut through
the black with an edge of cardboard.
In “New Territory,”
Buckheim consciously imitated Helen Frankenthaler in
having large sections of the
canvas covered with loosely
applied paint. The resulting
abstraction is a combination
of somewhat runny colors
— grays, yellows, black and
red. But the edges of his canvas are well defined. Here, a
black horizontal crosses the
bottom of the painting, and
the edges have characteristic
tooth-like marks (made from
a stencil), an enclosing device
that visually focuses the central abstractions.
Buckheim’s latest series has
five large canvases inspired
by Maine, not its topography
but its feeling of openness
and freedom. The final piece,
“Maine Monument,” is a stately painting, made up primarily
of a very wide vertical block,
which itself is like a stage curtain with two side panels and
a central section, where most
of the painterly action occurs.
And that action involves variations on shades of rusty reds.
The backdrop to the central
panels is black, topped with a
rusty orange. There is a regal,
ceremonial feel to the piece
— a further demonstration of
Buckheim virtuosity.
You will be pleased to experience the recent work of these
thoughtful, accomplished artists.

Old McDonald Had a Farm — And So Did We
By Chris Belland
I
n case you haven’t
noticed it’s getting a
little warmer around
here, which signals the
end of the winter growing
season. I thought I’d take
the opportunity to report
back on the results of our
“farm.”
I had always been pretty
much discouraged by people about growing vegetables in Key West. Everyone
said that either the soil was
bad or it was too hot. On
the other hand I have some
friends who have been pretty successful growing stuff,
so we thought we’d give it a
whirl.
A friend of ours has a
swimming pool that was
filled in about six inches
from the top and gave us
permission to use it for a
garden. It measured 15 by
25 feet. After the hurricane,
we had a load of seaweed
delivered and scattered
about three inches thick
over the top, to which we
added a three-inch layer of
what I call “vaca caca” (cow
manure) and finally about
two or three inches of top
soil. We rented a rotary tiller and mixed the whole
concoction just like they
used to do with a mule and
a plough … well, not really.
We then covered it over
with a plastic tarp and let
it “cook” for 30 days. This
cooking process was basically to kill any unwanted
pests (nematodes) in the
dirt. It worked fine.
Then came the fun part.
We hoed everything into
rows and planted. Mind
you, this is the first time
we’ve ever done it so it was
all experimental. We used
the plants and seeds generally available at the hard-
ware store
and Home
Depot.
We used
a sprinkler on a
timer that
watered
the garden
for about
30 minutes every morning at 5:30.
I was told by my assistant,
Nancy (an English lass with
a very green thumb), this
was the best time to water
so the garden would have
the entire day to dry out
on top, thus precluding the
possibility of fungus on the
leaves.
The other parasites we
were worried about were
white flies and mealy bugs.
I read somewhere that they
are attracted to yellow and
I tried out an experiment.
I tied yellow plastic ribbon
to the fence (for growing
pole beans) and soaked
them with olive oil. To my
surprise, it worked! The
white flies and mealy bugs
were, indeed, attracted to
the yellow and stuck to the
olive oil and we never had
a problem the entire time
our garden grew. We also
wanted this to be an organic garden so we never used
any chemical pesticides.
Rather, we sprayed with a
concoction of concentrated
liquid garlic (available at
pet stores) and pepper.
This, too, worked on everything except the big, fat,
green horned worms that
went after the tomatoes like
an Italian chef. There was
some solace and revenge in
squishing them.
The results? Fantastic!
Since November, we have
enjoyed bumper crops of
collard greens, arugula,
romaine lettuce, brown
raw directly in the garden
— everything from the dinner table except for meats
and dairy products. What
was interesting is that we
went from throwing away
one plastic bag of garbage
every other day to less than
two per week. It’s amazing
how little we really need
to throw away. So, if you’re
planning on a garden in the
fall, there is no time like the
present to start composting.
By the coming fall, you’ll
not only have thrown less
garbage away, but you’ll
have a great start on your
good growing soil.

The New Shape of Wine for the New Millennium
By Steve Calderwood
A
t the Taste of Key
West on Monday
I had three different people bring
up the subject of box
wines and, in fact, the
evening before I had
attended a going-away party
and brought two boxes of
wine (I’m so avant garde!).
You could say that bag-inthe-box wines have gotten
a pretty bad reputation. I’ve
always touted them as the
best three liters of wine that
$5 can buy. But, believe it or
not, things are changing.
Today, the rest of the
world has been much
faster to adopt box wines. In
Australia, more than 50 percent of all wine sales are in
some form of box. European
consumers, too, have been
much more open to accepting the cardboard creations.
So what happened? Do
they know something we
don’t (once again)?
The answer is that while
we were all running around
with our blinders on and
pooh-poohing the thought
of wine in cardboard, some
innovative wine makers
were actually starting to
put some decent juice into
these cheap, efficient containers. As a result, box wine
sales are now the fastestgrowing segment of the U.S.
market.

screw caps for years and
even those damn plastic
corks are finally starting to
get better. At the same time,
Portugal has finally cleaned
up its act (literally) and the
level of tainted cork has
gone down substantially.
Why even contemplate a
cardboard
box when we
Americans
are still
having a
hard time
accepting
screw caps?
The answer
is quite simple — value. If
you’re making a nice wine
that you want to sell at a
good price, the easiest way
to bring down the cost is to
get rid of the bottle.
Bottles are usually either
750 or 1.5 liters; any larger
and they become unwieldy.
They’re expensive, heavy
and oddly shaped, which
makes transporting them
hardly efficient.
Just consider the fact
that when you’re filling up
a pallet to ship your wine,
approximately 20 to 30 percent of that pallet will be air
because of the sloping of
the bottles’ necks. Plus you
have the added expense of
the weight of the bottles and
the cost of the cardboard
separators that keep the
bottles from hitting each
other and breaking. On top
of that, a bottle on average
costs $1 by the time you fill
it and stuff a cork in it. The
box costs one tenth of that
and you have three liters
in it, the equivalent of four
bottles. Now don’t get me
wrong, I’m not advocating
doing away with bottles. I
love them. But for a good
everyday drinking wine, the
box has some great advantages.
There are two types of
boxes that are currently
being used to package
wine. The one we’re most
familiar with is the bag-ina-box type. This is the one
that has a plastic bag with
a pour spout on it that’s
sealed in a cardboard box.
The second is called a Terra
Pac and it looks like a juice
box.
For the bag-in-a-box style,
other than the cost of packaging and transport the big
benefit is that, because no
air gets into the bag after it’s
opened, it will stay good for
up to six weeks. You might
have the equivalent of four
bottles but there’s no hurry
to finish it off. Additionally,
most three-liter boxes range
from $14 to $25, which is
the equivalent of spending
$3.50 to $6 for a 750 ml bottle. At that price, you can’t
even get Carlo Rossi.
The Terra Pac, on the
other hand, doesn’t have the
air-blocking advantage, it’s
just cheaper and is normally
used for a higher quality of
wine. However, they normally go for between $8 and
$12 and that’s usually for a 1
liter box, not a 750 ml bottle.
The one caveat about
the bag-in-the-box types is
that they are not hermetically sealed and as such,
over time, air can get into
the wine. Therefore most of
these will have an expiration date on them. Check it!
Especially if you’re picking it
up at a store that probably
doesn’t turn them over too
quickly.
Finally, which ones should
we try? First of all, stay away
from Franzia and Almaden,
they’re still putting inferior
wine in five-liter boxes.
Some that I’ve found
quite drinkable include
Black Box’s merlot,
Hardy’s shiraz and the
Banrock Station chardonnay. In this day and age
when we’re all looking for
ways to stretch a dollar,
these are great to have
around for everyday consumption.
And if you do get a bad
box wine, remember that
you can always make
Sangria.

What to Look for in a Professional Personal Trainer
By Daniel Reynen
C
heck it out. If you’re
thinking about
working with a personal trainer, those may
be the three most important words in your vocabulary. Before you start
any program, you need
to know some important
information.
The first thing you
should ask for is a current
certificate from one of the
national personal training
certification companies. If
your trainer hasn’t taken the
time to get certified, you
need to ask yourself how
they learned what they’re
trying to teach you. The last
thing you want is somebody
calling themselves a “personal trainer” to use you as
their guinea pig while they
throw together random
workout routines or give you
a program ripped out of a
magazine. You’re paying for
them to be the expert and to
design programs specific to
your goals, not just show up
to count reps and sets.
You
can confirm their
license is
current by
making
one phone
call. If you
don’t know
what companies are
WeBeFit
reputable,
here’s a list of the top
eleven in alphabetical
order: Aerobic and Fitness
Association of America;
American College of Sports
Medicine; American
Council on Exercise; Cooper
Institute; International
Sports Sciences Association;
National Academy of Sports
Medicine; National Council
on Strength and Fitness;
National Endurance and
Sports Trainers Association;
National Exercise Trainers
Association; National
Federation of Professional
Trainers; and the National
Strength and Conditioning
Association.
Your trainer should also
have a current CPR (cardio
pulmonary resuscitation)
certificate and a first-aid
certificate. They’re easy to
get from local charities like
the American Red Cross
or the American Heart
Association. Because working out is a strenuous activity, you want someone who’s
trained to help if an emergency happens.
Speaking of emergencies,
ask your trainer for a copy
of their liability insurance
certificate and then call the
company to verify they’re
covered. If they work as an
employee, make sure the
facility you’re working out
in covers them. In many
cases trainers will work as
independent contractors so
they should carry their own
insurance. A policy covering
them for $500,000 is a reasonable minimum amount.
If your trainer doesn’t have
insurance and the facility
they’re working in won’t
cover them, run away as
fast as you can. In order to
get insurance, trainers must
have current certificates
and credentials. If they don’t
carry any, that means they’re
either not insurable because
of previous problems or they
simply don’t care enough to
make sure you’ll be protected. If an insurance company
won’t take the risk on them,
you shouldn’t either.
Inspect the facility in
which you’ll be working out
as closely as your trainer.
Here are some basics to look
for. If you’re doing a lot of
cardio, make sure the air is
clean and free of mold. Look
at the equipment and see
that it’s well maintained and
that cables don’t show signs
of fraying or wear. Weights
should be on racks, off the
floor and there should be
sweat towels for everyone.
Confirm that there’s a
first-aid kit nearby to handle
minor cuts or bruises. One
of the most important safety
things you should look for is
an AED (automatic external
defibrillator) and ask if anyone is trained to use it. Each
of those things may seem
minor, but the last thing
you want to do is hurt yourself and have your trainer
scramble trying to figure out
how they’ll deal with it.
Finally, protect your wallet. Because anyone can
call themselves a personal
trainer, you don’t want to
be scammed. It’s easy for a
“trainer” to take your money
up front and then disappear
without providing the service. You can protect yourself by paying with a credit
card. Then, if you don’t get
the sessions or services you
paid for, your credit card
company will reimburse you
for the balance.
Hiring a personal trainer
is a big decision. You’ll be
working closely with whomever you choose, so take
a few minutes to “check it
out” and make your decision with all the facts.
Caution: Before beginning
any diet or exercise program,
check with your doctor or
health care professional
first. For a free consultation with a trainer, call us

Dear Micro:
Thank you for the com-
pliment. Arms have always
been a high priority for
me since my bodybuilding
contest career. I have, and
still do, see guys with well
developed physiques, but
no arms. It throws a wrench
in one’s ability to be symmetrical. And symmetry is
where it’s at. I think that’s
the main reason I paid
attention to arms.
It sounds like a classic
case of overtraining your
arms. You state you exercise them hard three times
a week. Then, after all of
that hammering, you add
some extra curls in there
too. Let’s think about that
for a moment. Remember,
even the largest arms out
there are still relatively
small when compared to
other body parts. Too, the
arms are needed when
exercising any other upper
body part. Do your chest
and you are training your
triceps. Blast your back,

Nurses Are Building a Healthier America
year during
May 6-12.
The purpose
of National
Nurses Week
is to raise
public awareness of the
importance
of nursing and to help
educate the public about
the vital roles nurses play
in meeting the health care
needs of the American
people.
This annual recognition
of nurses ends on the day
of Florence Nightingale’s
birthday, the woman most
responsible for and most
remembered for being a
pioneer of nursing and a
reformer of hospital sanitation methods.
Lower Keys Medical
Center pays tribute to our
hospital nurses who provide highly skilled, safe and
quality care in a variety of
settings, and who encounter increased challenges to
their professional and ethical commitment to deliver
essential and optimum
health care.
Nurses practice in a wide
range of settings, from
hospitals to visiting people
in their homes and caring for them in schools, to
research in pharmaceutical
companies. Nurses work
in occupational health settings (also called industrial
health settings), free-standing clinics and physician
offices,
nurserun
clinics,
longterm
care
facilities and
camps.
They
also
work on
cruise
ships
and in
military
service.
Nurses
act as
advisers and consultants to the
health-care and insurance
industries. Some are attorneys and others work with
attorneys as legal nurse
consultants, reviewing
patient records to assure
that adequate care was
provided and testifying
in court. Nurses can work
on a temporary basis that
involves doing shifts without a contact in a variety of
settings, sometimes known
as per diem nursing, agency
nursing or travel nursing.
According
to projections
released from
the Bureau of
Labor Statistics,
RNs top the
list of the 10
occupations
with the largest projected
job growth in
the years 20022012. Although
RNs have listed
among the
top 10 growth
occupations in
the past, this
is the first time
in recent history that RNs
have ranked first. They
also report that more than
2.9 million RNs will be
employed in the year 2012,
up 623,000 from the nearly
2.3 million RNs employed
in 2002.
However, the total job
openings, which include
both job growth and the
net replacement of nurses,
will be more than 1.1 million. This growth, coupled
with current trends of
nurses retiring or leaving
the profession and fewer
new nurses, could lead to a
shortage of more than one
million nurses by the end of
this decade.
Lower Keys Medical
Center is soliciting stories
that will help pay tribute to
our nurses. For example,
an individual may want to
thank the nurse who cared
for him/her or his/her family member; or perhaps a
nurse was involved in saving a particular individual’s
life and the individual
would like to show his/her
gratitude.
To help us recognize the
hospital’s nurses and give
an individual the opportunity to share his/her
story and pay tribute to a
particular nurse or to all
indispensable nurses on
this special day and to send
a thank you to a nurse, visit

ursing can be
defined as a profession focused on

and functioning. Modern
definitions of nursing
define it as a science and an
art that focuses on promoting quality of life as defined
by persons and families,
throughout their life experiences from birth to care to
the end of life.
The American Nurses

One of my favorite stories is
they got home the dog
very similar to yours. I had
a referral from a veterinarian in Key West for a dog
that was hit by a car. It had
a badly shattered rear leg.
After a long surgery and
lots of metal implants, the
leg was repaired. The dog
was actually walking the
next day and went home
about three days later.
An “external fixator” was
applied to the broken leg.
You may have seen these
in people. The metal pins
are drilled into the broken
pieces of bone and then
are positioned and aligned
together, then held in place
using a large metal rod that
runs down the outside of
the leg, being held in place
with nuts and bolts like an
erector set. This looks very
complicated and it is. But it
is very effective.
I sent the dog home with
an E-collar because I did
not want the dog chewing
at the metal apparatus. The
pet came in seven days
later for suture removal and
was trotting up the handicap ramp. It was completely
ambulatory and if you did
not notice the fixator, you
would never know it had a
broken leg just eight days
before. The owner was
ecstatic how well the dog
was doing. I removed the
sutures in the skin, but
instructed her that the dog
had to keep the fixator on at
least eight weeks. She must
keep the E-collar on and
keep the dog crated so the
leg could completely heal.
Well, four days later the
owners came racing up
from Key West on emergency. The fixator had been
pulled out and was hanging
by a single pin, dangling by
the leg like some bad bling.
The bone was crooked and
the dog was not able to
walk.

continue to fund the program, so all of the counties
with planning grants were
not able to continue on to
implement the programs
they had planned. The
Monroe County project is
seeking other federal and
state grants to continue the
project.
The “connection that was
lost in the 1970s” that we
discussed was referring to
the de-institutionalization
of the mentally ill, whereby
state hospitals released
large number of mentally
ill persons back into the
community without aftercare services being established in communities. This
resulted in large numbers
of mentally ill individuals
becoming incarcerated.
Thank you again for your
interest and support. It is
invaluable and appreciated.

she spent all that money,
and it did not work. She
demanded that I replace it
at my cost.
Her husband fessed up.
The owner was so happy
with the dog’s progress that
she took off the E-collar
and let it out in the yard
to get some exercise. The
dog was running along the
fence when the gate latch
hooked the fixator and
ripped it out of the bone!
The owner paid for the
repair. Fortunately, the
dog recovered and is doing
great.
Bottom line, please follow
your veterinarian’s advice
— keep the E-collar on — it
may be inconvenient in the
short term but, in the long
term, it will be in the pet’s
best interest.

Dear Editor:
Would you please inform
Diane Roberts [Satire, April
19: “Latest Masterpieces of
Legislative Venality”] that
the mantra of the United
Negro College Fund is “a
mind is a terrible thing to
waste” [not “what a waste
it is to lose one’s mind”].
To wit, Dan Quayle said: “A
mind is a terrible thing to
lose.”
Seems to me that if you
are going to quote someone — put words in their
mouth, as it were — you
should do it accurately. I
would think that Quayle’s
gaffe could be found be
easily on the Internet.
