FKAA approves deep well for Cudjoe sewer
BY TIMOTHY O’HARA
Free Press Staff
LOWER KEYS — The
Florida Keys Aqueduct
Authority board requested
last week that the Monroe
County Commission fund
a roughly $6 million deep
injection well for the Cudjoe
Regional
Wastewater
Treatment Plant.
A majority of the commission said it could
approve the funding now
that the science has proven
the need.
The county had been
holding off on funding
the deep well at the plant
on Blimp Road, despite
requests of many residents
and environmental groups,
because there was no sci-
entific proof that the deep
well was needed, commissioners said.
The
FKAA
board
and
Monroe
County
Commission
contracted Florida International
University to conduct a
tracer study to determine
whether a deeper injection
well, which would send the
treated effluent hundreds of
feet deeper into the ground
and take it away from the
groundwater table, was
needed at the plant.
The FKAA board was presented a study conducted
by FIU professor Henry
Briceno that states that “a
connection between injection depth and surface
waters may exist at the
injection site.”
“I don’t see a problem
with funding it,” County
Commissioner
Sylvia
Murphy said of the deep
well. “If evidence showed
that a deep well was needed, we would fund it. We
have the money. If this was
about public opinion and
not science, I would say no.
There has to be a valid reason.”
Even though the Cudjoe
treatment plant has been
permitted to utilize four
shallow injection wells, the
FKAA board decided March
25, in an abundance of caution, that the protection of
the fragile environment of
the Florida Keys requires
the installation of a deep

EVERGLADES — Many
scientists had suspected
that Burmese pythons
were very influential in
causing the decline of
the native small animal

The release of a new

300th anniversary of sunken fleet
Free Press Staff
FLORIDA KEYS — Three
hundred years ago this
summer, a Spanish fleet
sailing off the east coast of
Florida was lost at sea and
with it tons of silver, gold
and precious jewels.
Carl Fismer, a wellknown treasure hunter
and Upper Keys resident, recently spoke at
Islamorada Jewelers about
the 300th anniversary of
the fleet. Fismer salvaged
more than 7,000 coins of
gold and silver from the
wreck sites between 1980
to 1992.
“There’s just so much
more treasure there than
anywhere else,” he said.
The loss came in the
early 18th century when
Spain was coming out of
the War of the Succession

against the English and
the Dutch. The country desperately needed
money, so it sent a fleet
of ships to the Caribbean
to bring back riches and
crown treasure.
Twelve ships crossed the
Atlantic Ocean and eventually gathered together
in Havana with loads of
riches. By the summer of
1715, after much delay, the

the riches to the government and merchants. The

Importers get prison Cay Clubs executive
for wildlife violations sentenced to 5 years

one year in prison followed
by a year of supervised

Assistant U.S. Attorney
Thomas Watts-Fitzgerald
told Martinez that Kelton
was “probably the most
knowledgeable person in
South Florida in this business.”
Both men pleaded guilty
to conspiracy to violate the
Lacey Act in January as part
of an agreement with prosecutors.
The Lacey Act prohibits trade in wildlife, fish
and plants that have been

The operator of a large
Miami-based marine life
export business and a general manager at the same

prison last week for falsifying documents to cover up
delivery of live rock from
Florida Keys waters for use
in saltwater aquariums.
Robert Kelton, operator
of D.R. Imports, Inc., and
general manager Bruce
Brande were charged in a
large federal investigation
called “Operation Rock

hundreds of thousands of
dollars.

to curb the use of casitas,
which are artificial lobster
habitats placed illegally in
local waters. In recent years,
authorities have begun
making more coral and live
rock-related cases.
Federal
prosecutors
allege both men conspired
to take and sell live rock,
or Ricordea florida, from
the Florida Keys National
Marine Sanctuary, according to court records.
Live rock, not to be confused with coral, is dead
coral that has organisms
living on and inside it. It
is often used in saltwater
aquariums for its cosmetic
appeal, and also it is used
as a natural filter. It is illegal
to take live rock from the
marine sanctuary, except
from nursery areas with
special permits.
Kelton allegedly took a
Wisconsin-based marine
life retailer to the Florida
Keys and an order was made
the same day, according to
records.
Prosecutors allege the
men conspired to sell and
ship rocks on six different
dates from 2008 to 2011. In
June 2011, Kelton allegedly
agreed to “supply a false
invoice to document a nonexistent sale of Haitian-origin life rock to a cooperating
individual in order to ‘cover’
a subsequent delivery of live
rock illegally harvested from
the Florida Keys National
Marine Sanctuary,” records

A former Cay Clubs
executive who had faced
as much as 30 years behind
bars was sentenced to five
years in prison last week
as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors.
Former
American
Airlines
pilot
Ricky
Lynn Stokes, 54, a Fort
Myers resident, told U.S.
District Court Judge Jose
E. Martinez that he was
“incredibly sorry” and
he got himself “painted
into a corner and made
the wrong decision” for
his role in a $300 million
Ponzi scheme case involving the collapsed Florida
Keys-based resorts and
marinas development
company.
Stokes could be called
to testify against the government’s primary targets
in the case, former Cay
Clubs CEO Dave Clark, 56,
and his wife, Cristal Clark,
41, at their trial on June 1.
Stokes was one of Cay
Clubs’ highest-producing
sales agents and was Cay
Clubs’ director of investor
relations from September
2005 to 2008.
Stokes initially was
duped by the Clarks and
didn’t know until 2007
that the enterprise was
likely a fraud, according
to his defense attorney.
Moreover, of the roughly
$6 million he pocketed,
much of that went back
into the company, his
attorney said.
Stokes asked to be sentenced to three to four
years, but he could not
convince Martinez of a
lesser sentence.
The judge noted that
the only reason Stokes
was not going to prison
for as many as 30 years
was because of his agreement with the government.
Assistant U.S. Attorney
Thomas Watts-Fitzgerald
told the judge that “five
years, your honor, I think
is generous.”
Stokes was remanded
to the custody of U.S.
Marshals immediately
after his sentence.
Another
executive,
Barry J. Graham, 59, also
of Fort Myers, was scheduled to be sentenced

time.
According
to
a
Department of Justice
press release and court
documents, Graham was
the director of sales for
Cay Clubs from 2004
through late 2007.
The government alleged
that during that time both
Stokes and Graham conspired to falsely inflate
prices of Cay Clubs units
through insider sales,
as well as the purchase
of units from Cay Clubs
without disclosing their
affiliation with the company, reports say.
The Clarks were previously indicted in June by
the U.S. Attorney’s Office
on charges of wire fraud.
A superseding indictment
filed in September accuses the couple of conspiracy to commit bank fraud
and multiple counts of
bank fraud.
Their trial is scheduled
for June 1, before a judge
in Miami.
Graham is also expected
to testify for the government against the Clarks

court records.

County reaches agreement
Building height limits
could be extended 5 feet on raises for firefighters
Free Press Staff
MONROE COUNTY —
County planners took their
first step last week toward
possibly altering one of the
Florida Keys’ most controversial land-use policies:
building-height restrictions.
The county is looking at
allowing a 5-foot increase
in building heights limits
in unincorporated areas of
the Keys as a way to mitigate against flooding and
possibly build more affordable or workforce housing.
On March 24, county planners held a
Development
Review
Committee
meeting,
which is where most landuse rules and large development projects get their
start. It gives planners a
chance to hear concerns
and ideas from residents
and developers.
Members of the environmental group Last Stand, the
Sugarloaf Shores Property
Owners Association and
the Key Largo Federation of
Homeowner Associations
attended the meeting and
gave input.
All three are opposed to
increasing building heights
to accommodate affordable housing. Group representatives argued that the
affordable housing issue is
more of a pressing issue in
Florida Keys municipalities
than in unincorporated
areas of the county.
The
representatives
questioned how the county could increase build-

well, commissioners said.
The state Department of
Environmental Protection
requires that a deep well
is built if the average daily
flow of treated effluent is
more than a 1 million gallons a day. There has been a
disagreement about whether the average daily flow
at the Cudjoe plant would
reach 1 million, with the
FKAA claiming it wouldn’t.
The original plans called
for digging four shallow
Boats
Mar shopping plaza at the
Tavernier Creek Bridge.
Annesser said the federal
action comes as a result of
pending litigation in the
state courts regarding ownership of the boats.
“While working through
that case, we discovered he
transferred the boats to his
name,” Annesser said.
Slate is one of the most
well-known dive boat captains in the Florida Keys. He
has been featured in many
TV shows and videos feeding sharks by hand. Slate
is also known for diving in
a Santa Claus suit for Keys
marketing campaigns and
for his annual underwater
Easter egg hunt where he
hides eggs and divers pay to
go on trips to find them.
It was not known at press
time if the Easter egg hunt
will take place this weekend.
Key Largo attorney Eric
Griffin, who representing
Slate, declined to comment
on the case.
Griffin was on scene
Tuesday morning when the
ing heights for affordable
housing, but at the same
time allow building rights,
called ROGO units, to be
transferred off mobile
home and RV parks, the
last bastion of affordable
and workforce housing in
the Keys.
“Height is not the only
solution to the affordable housing need,” said
Bill Hunter, who spoke
on behalf of the Sugarloaf
Shores
Homeowners
Association. “We are not
at a loss for land like Key
West.”
Federation representative Dottie Moses argued
that affordable housing is not an issue in the
Upper Keys, as lowerincome workers there are
bused from places like
Homestead.
The federation was
against any increase in
height limits, even to
mitigate against flooding,
Moses said.
The Florida Keys has
experienced nearly 9 inches
of sea-level rise in the past
100 years. County experts
are predicting from 3 to 7
inches of sea-level rise by
2030, and 9 to 24 inches of
sea-level rise by 2060.
The Florida Keys ranks
third, behind two coastal
towns in North Carolina,
when it comes to population vulnerability to rising seas, according to
a University of Georgia
study.
Last Stand representatives could support
increasing the height limit
to mitigate against flooding
in limited cases with strict
justification.
A representative for the
Ocean Reef Club asked
for as much as 3-feet-perstory increase on top of
the 5-feet request for that
wealthy enclave in north
Key Largo. Ocean Reef
planner Joel Reed argued
that the gated community
should be treated differently because it is “isolated.”
There are several hotels
and condo complexes there
that were built before the
35-foot height limit went
into effect in 1986 that now
need to be torn down and
rebuilt. However, they can
only build to the 35-foot
height limit.
“This is what the community is asking for,” Reed
said.
Last Stand representatives also could support
grandfathering buildings
that already exceed the
height limit.
Additionally,
county
planners are reviewing the
offshore-island designations for several islands off
the Keys, including Wisteria
Island, Ballast Key, Little
Palm Island and Tarpon
Belly Key off Cudjoe Key.
Development on those
islands is severely limited and county planners,
county commissioners,
developers and conservationists have been arguing
over how much development should be allowed on
them.
The Development Review
Committee will revisit the
issues again next month.

wells, which would pump
the treated effluent to
roughly 120 feet deep. But
the deep well the FKAA
board approved would
push the water 2,000 feet
below the surface into the
boulder zone.
The FKAA board’s decision comes after Cudjoe Key
fishermen Mike Laudicina
recently filed lawsuits in
both state and federal court
pushing for the deep injections wells.
Laudicina’s
attorney
Caron Balkany said it
would be premature at this
time to withdraw the law-
suits, as she still wants to
know when the well would
be built and if the shallow
injections wells, which are
already constructed, would
be used until the deep well
is completed.
“The
main
hurdle
has overcome with the
Aqueduct Authority board
agreeing to the deep well,”
Balkany said.
“This is a great victory for
citizen activism. The community stood up for itself
and the environment and
won thanks to everyone.”

MONROE COUNTY
— County officials and
firefighters have reached
a tentative collective bargaining agreement after
three years of negotiations
that calls for an overall 2
percent pay raise.
The three-year agreement set for a Monroe
County
Commission
approval vote at its April
15 meeting calls for pay
increases to base salaries and incentive pay to
essentially match other
county employees who
have received 2 percent
salary increases since
negotiations began this
year.
The proposal also calls
for an extra incentive pay
between 2 to 7 percent to
Trauma Star flight medics, airport firefighters,
fire pump truck drivers
and paramedic trainers to those crews in a
move to reward “industry
and effort,” according to
county records.
Current annual salaries without benefits or
overtime for firefighter/
emergency medical technicians start at $37,605,
according to county
records. Paramedics have
more medical training
than EMTs and make 10
percent more.
Salaries without overtime or benefits for firefighter lieutenants currently range between
$47,894 and $67,168.
Captains’ pay currently
range between $59,654 and
$79,572, while battalion
chiefs range from $71,557
to $91,426. Flight nurses
make $20 an hour.
The overall yearly cost
of the increase is about
$390,000, which was
included in this fiscal year
budget, according to county records.
County commissioners
voted down a measure in
2012 for firefighter pay raises citing a need for equity
among all county employees who at the time had
not received raises. County
officials and firefighters
have been in negotiations
since that time.
One big issue has been
retention of firefighters
and EMTs given most large
departments on mainland Florida are undergoing a hiring boom and

Realty company: Can’t see plaza for trees
BY BRIAN BOWDEN
Free Press Staff
BRIAN BOWDEN/Free Press
FDOT plans to move this group of palms recently planted near the
entrance to Dunkin’ Donuts at Tavernier Towne Center.
UPPER KEYS — A Florida
Department of Transportation
effort to beautify sections of the
Overseas Highway in the Upper
Keys has caused unrest with a
company that owns property near
mile marker 91.
Commodore Realty, manager of
the Tavernier Towne Center property since 1991, said the newly
planted cabbage palms and other
shrubbery near its plaza hinders visibility along U.S. 1 for its
mobile customers as well as for its
pylon signage.
“I’m hopeful to work out a plan
with FDOT soon,” Commodore
Realty President David Puyanic
told the Free Press last week.
Puyanic said he spoke with an
FDOT representative about the
issue and they informed him
someone would be sent out to
assess the situation. However, he
said he’s not sure if the state agen-
cy is just providing him with “lip
service.”
Jackie Harder, an information
specialist with FDOT, confired the
two had spoken and were working
out a solution.
Puyanic said he never received
a notice from FDOT initially notifying his company of the project,
which was approved last year.
Puyanic, who hasn’t yet seen
the new foliage in person, said he
would like to have the majority
of it around the shopping center
moved or eliminated altogether.
He said his company, based out
of Key Biscayne, didn’t initially
object to its installation but has
had several tenants express concern about a lack of visibility now
endured by their businesses.
“And they’re the lifeblood of the
community,” Puyanic said.
The placement of the new foliage, he said, also decreases the
property’s overall value and appeal
to future business prospects.

State agency seeks non-profit’s grant
BY BRIAN BOWDEN

KEY LARGO — Awarding
of a $300,000 grant could
likely determine the fate of
a non-profit competing for
funds against a state agency looking to take over the
local organization’s duties in
Monroe County.
The
Center
for
Independent Living of the
Keys has been receiving
the money, known as the
Work Incentives Planning
and Assistance grant, for
the past nine years. But,
now, the state Department
of Education’s Division of
Vocational Rehabilitation
has decided to compete for
the same funds.
The local CFL chapter,
headquartered out of Key
Largo, has the ability to provide services to the 17,000
people with disabilities
throughout the county. Aside
from that, it also employs
seven people — some who

— at its main office.
In the Keys, CFL runs on a
$550,000 budget. So, securing this grant is a top priority.
The Division of Vocational
Rehabilitation, on the other
hand, works with a $226
million budget. It, similar
to CFL, is a program that
helps people with physical
or mental disabilities find
housing as well as secure
and maintain a job. They say
their vision is to become the
first place people with disabilities turn to when seeking employment. Without
being a grantee, though, it
would not be able to offer
WIPA services to the county.
If the local CFL chapter
doesn’t receive the funds
from the grant it could
potentially scuttle the nonprofit. It has the smallest
population served, as well
as the smallest budget, for
an independent living assistance organization in the
entire state. That also plays
a major role in how much
it can acquire in outside
funds.
There are 16 CFL branches
throughout the state, which
each compete for a similar
grant to service its region.
Local CFL Deputy Director
Sherry Brewer said they successfully submitted their
portion of the grant application on Monday, which
was the deadline, but the
recipient of those funds
wouldn’t be known until
July 31. The Social Security
Administration grant, she
said, would kick in Aug. 1 for
whom it is awarded to.

for the local CFL chapter,

of Vocational Rehabilitation

The top class for the sport

“These dogs are athletes

the sport of sheep herding.
“I got into this sport
when a girl I know was
going into the Air Force
and she offered me her
dog, Jolie, a 1-year-old
border collie,” Cannon
said. “She told me she had
started training Jolie to
compete in sheep herding.
I didn’t know a thing about
the sport, so I began to
read books, talk to people
in the sport, learn as much
as I could and went online
to get educated and went
to work training Jolie.”
Cannon quickly fell in
love with the sport.
“This interaction with
the herding dog is very
addictive,” he said. “I was
an avid hunter, but I gave
it up to do only sheep
herding.”
Cannon has since retired
6.5-year-old Jolie from
competition, where she
won a number of titles,
and is bringing Roxie, a
3.5-year-old border collie,
up through the ranks. He
got Roxie as a 10-monthold puppy and quickly
realized he had a canine
prodigy.
To date, Roxie has won
several competitions and
has been the high scorer
in five sheep herding tri-
nity since 1946. The resort
is home to three restaurants, including Atlantic’s
Edge, which is known for
its tropical-inspired seafood, stone crab, prime
steaks, organic produce

Village talks about road work, meetings

ISLAMORADA
—
Complaints about road
construction were aired
during last week’s Village
Council meeting.
Former
councilman
David Purdo said nightly
lane closures along U.S. 1
on Upper Matecmbe Key
are creating a headache
for motorists.
“It took me 55 minutes
to get from Lazy Days to
Whale Harbor last night,”
Purdo said last Thursday.
Purdo blamed the
Florida Department of
Transportation road project for harming local busi-
nesses.
“Look at that pile of
dirt in front of Smuggler’s
Cove,” he said. “Something
needs to be done.”
Both Mayor Mike Forster
and Councilwoman Deb
Gillis said they have made
multiple complaints to the
state road agency. Forster
said village officials will
meet with the head of
FDOT next week.
The mayor also asked
Aguilar why fewer items
are coming before the
council for discussion.
“These have been some
of the lightest agendas I
have seen,” he said.
Gillis suggested that
fewer agenda items might
warrant fewer meetings.
“We’re meeting every
two weeks,” she said.
“Maybe we should move
to once a month.”
Gillis said more discussion items could have been
added to the agenda.
“I came to work,” she
said. “I know it’s a hard
call.”
Councilman
Dennis
Ward offered that the
council should consider
creating a more enforceable noise ordinance so
commercial establishments don’t bother their
residential neighbors into
the night.

Letting cat out of bag sparks fight
FREE PRESS STAFF
KEY WEST — An Upper
Keys woman was jailed
Wednesday, March 25, after
police say she punched
an animal control officer
in the face when he confronted her about carrying
her cat in a duffle bag.
Holly Oswalt, 47, who
gave Key West police a Key
Largo address, faces a misdemeanor charge of battery.
She is on probation
until May 31 for a prior
felony battery conviction,
according to the Florida
Department of Corrections.
Public records also indicate
she lives on Plantation Key.
Oswalt was outside the
Half Shell Raw Bar, 231
Margaret
St., with
her cat,
Snowflake,
who was
b e i n g
stored in a
Oswalt
duffle bag
with only
room for
its head to stick out, according to Mitchell Smith, the
Florida Keys SPCA’s lead
investigator.
A server at the Half Shell
had called the Florida Keys
SPCA to report the woman’s handling of the cat,
Smith said.
Smith said he arrived
and placed the cat inside a
cat carrier, which he placed
into his air-conditioned
truck with some water, so
ficult to write an ordinance that gives local law
enforcement the power to
control violators.
“It’s not,” replied Ward,
who is a former Monroe
County state attorney.
The town’s sheriff’s captain, however, said there
is no quick and easy solution.
“This is like a nose
bleed. It won’t quit,” said
Monroe County Sheriff’s
Capt. Corey Bryan.
The council inquired
about adding an officer
during the holiday weekend in May to help with
noise ordinance violations.
Bryan, though, said the
sheriff’s office is stretched
too thin to bring in another person.
The discussion failed
to gain any traction for a
revised noise ordinance.
Ward said he planned
on reviewing a noise ordinance recently passed by
Key West. Getting a proper
decibel reading can be difficult, Gillis said.
Ward said he planned
on bringing the issue back
before the council.
The council also passed
a cost-recovery ordinance
on first reading to allow
the village to charge developers more for village time
during the permitting process.
Janet Wood, who heads
the workforce/affordable
housing committee, told
the council her group
plans to hold a workshop
at noon April 20 to gather
public input. A meeting
will immediately follow
the workshop.
Gillis stressed to Wood
that the committee provide detailed input to the
council.
“Have a meeting and
make a decision,” she
said.
Wood is also proposing to change the name
of her committee to the
Achievable
Housing
Advisory Committee.

the cat could cool down
while he asked Oswalt
questions.
The cat was panting
when he arrived, Smith
said.
“The cat was clearly
overheated,” he said.
Oswalt became angry
over the cat questions,
police said, and began
swinging at Smith and
punching him in the face.
Smith said he was fine but
told police he wanted to
pursue charges.
Snowflake was placed
into protective custody at
the SPCA and was in good
health after the incident,
Smith said.
Smith said Oswalt told
him that if she got arrested
she would go to prison.

Federal judge tosses lawsuit against local pizza shop
BY JOSH GORE

TAVERNIER — The sign
outside a Plantation Key
pizza shop isn’t going anywhere, according to a decision from a federal judge in
New Jersey.
Last summer, the New
Jersey Turnpike Authority
sued Jersey Boardwalk
Pizza over trademark
infringement regarding the
pizzaria’s logo on its sign.
U.S. Judge William J.
Martin dismissed the case
after ruling the pizza shop
was so far away from New
Jersey that people would
not mistake one logo for
the other. Martin also said

“This is certainly a good
win for my clients,” said
New Jersey-based trademark attorney JoyAnn
Kenny.
Kenny said the turnpike
authority has the option to
appeal. It could also refile
the lawsuit in a federal
court in Miami.
Separate from the federal lawsuit, Kenny is representing the pizza shop
in a trademark dispute
with the turnpike authority through the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office’s
Trial and Appeal Board.
The patent office previously approved the pizza
shop’s logo. The pizzaria
later changed the wording
of the logo to include Jersey.
The office then approved

Authority’s logo.

the amendment.
Currently, the turnpike
authority and Kenny are
exchanging discovery documents on what appears to
be at least a months-long
review.
“I would be very surprised if anything changes,” Kenny said.
Use of the similar
trademark, the turnpike
authority argues, is likely
to confuse consumers,
causing them to believe
Jersey Boardwalk is sponsored by, affiliated with
or licensed by the Garden
State Parkway.
The turnpike authority
asked the court to require
Jersey Boardwalk to cease
use of its logo, to turn over
for destruction all merchandise and marketing
materials that feature the
logo and to pay penalties
for damages as well as turn
over profits derived from
use of the logo.
Jersey Boardwalk uses
the disputed logo at its
restaurants in Islamorada
and Florida City, as well as
on merchandise such as Tshirts and hats.

Hit-and-run crashes spike in county, Florida
The criminal case against
Mira is pending. He faces
first-degree felony failure to
remain at a crash involving
a death, three charges of
third-degree felony failure
to remain at a crash involving injury and one misdemeanor count of marijuana
possession.
“It seems like we’re seeing
more [hit-and-run crashes],” Monroe County Sheriff
Rick Ramsay said. “Most are
minor, like when a car hits
another in a parking lot,
all the way to fatal crashes
on the highway. Sometimes
they flee because they’re
impaired. They don’t think.
They panic.”
McKinney advised people to stop, take a deep
breath and think when
they’re involved in a crash.
“I always tell people to
consider how they would
feel if it was them or a family
member,” McKinney said.
“Would you want [the other
driver] to stay and render
aid or leave? That could be
the difference between a
very serious legal situation
and an accident, all by staying and helping.”

Statewide data shows an increase in hit-and-run accidents over the past three years.
many cases I can think of
where there was no real
reason for the person to
leave, they just don’t think
rationally.”
McKinney said she
believes the problem is
prevalent in the Keys.
“It’s really not that
unusual for someone to
leave the scene,” McKinney
said, adding that it seems
to happen more in the winter months when tourists
and snowbirds increase
throughout the island
chain.
Florida law requires drivers involved in a crash to
remain at the scene and
provide assistance to anyone who might have been
injured and exchange
information with everyone
involved.
Among the most recent
hit-and-run accidents to
make headlines in Monroe
County:
• Scott Allen Foultz, 29,
a Big Pine Key resident,
was found unconscious at
10:34 p.m. Jan. 3 on First
Street near Avenue A on
Big Pine Key. He was taken
to Fishermen’s Hospital
where he was pronounced
dead.
Troopers investigating
the case are still searching
for the driver of the car that
hit Floutz, McKinney said.
• Christopher Edward
Dyko, 48, a resident of
Bremerton, Wash., was
killed after allegedly
being struck while riding his bicycle on U.S. 1
by Sugarloaf Key resident
Domingo Javier Veloso, 88,
on Dec. 28.
Veloso left the scene of
the crash but returned a
few hours later and was
taken into custody. The
case remains pending.
Veloso faces a charge of
felony leaving the scene of
a crash resulting in serious
injury or death and misdemeanor failure to stay in
a single lane after troopers alleged he veered into
a marked bicycle lane near
the U.S. 1 shoulder.
• Key West police allege
Daniel Mira Jr., 36, of the
19000 block of Mira Road,
drove a Nissan Altima into
two scooters driven by
two couples at 10:17 p.m.,
Oct. 31, at North Roosevelt
Boulevard and 14th Street.
Karen Cherry, 54, of
Sunset Marina and formerly of Portsmouth, N.H.,
was killed. Her husband,
Timothy Cherry, 56, was
airlifted to Ryder Trauma

On the other scooter

of Sunset Marina and New

MONROE
COUNTY
— The number of hit-andrun crashes spiked last year
statewide, and the Florida
Keys had similar, though
lower, increases.
Included in those figures
were several high-profile
fatal crashes in Monroe
County, according to law
enforcement data.
The number of fatal hitand-run crashes statewide
had the largest increase, up
23 percent in 2014 from
2013. The Florida Highway
Patrol reports one in four
crashes statewide were hitand-run wrecks.
Monroe County saw the
biggest jump in nonfatal
hit and runs from 400 in
2012 to 625 in 2013. In
both those years, 22 of
those incidents involved
pedestrians, according to
the FHP.
Last year, 663 hit and
runs were reported in the
Florida Keys. There was one
fatal hit and run reported
each year in the last three
years in Monroe County,
according to the FHP.
“There’s a variety of reasons why people feel the
need to leave,” said FHP

“As a result of the fact that
Monroe County firefighters have received no salary

years, coupled with the fact
that other departments in
South Florida began to

Monroe County’s starting
salary for firefighter para-
medics is more than $4,000
less than the average in

City mulls meeting schedule, gives notice to CPA
BY JILL ZIMA BORSKI
Free Press Contributor
MARATHON — The
Marathon City Council discussed several operational
items March 24 at its bimonthly meeting, including how often to meet.
The council learned it
can save a lot of money
once its new city hall is
built since it no longer will
have to pay for meeting
space.
Ac c o rd i n g
to
Councilman Dan Zieg,
a typical council meeting at the county-owned
Marathon Government
Center costs $1,100. An
additional $265 is tacked
on to meetings lasting longer than a few hours. The
costs include broadcast
capabilities on the countyowned television station.
With the meetings
scheduled the second and
fourth Tuesday of each
month, Zieg argued staff
is constantly preparing
agenda items and for presentations of those items.
Staff would be able to
get more work done, he
said, if council meetings
were scheduled every third
week. He suggested that
the new schedule start in
May.
Councilman Richard
Keating said meeting every
third week could delay
development plans that
frequently come before
the council as well as possibly reduce opportunities
for public comment and
feedback.
Vice
Mayor
Mark
Senmartin agreed that
construction plans could
be affected.
“Government moves
slow enough as it is, but I’d
like to see the numbers,”
he said.
Mayor Chris Bull said
the council meetings have
been the second and fourth
Tuesday for a decade.
“Having people remember [a new schedule] is
going to be difficult,” he
said, “but I’ll await more
information.”
The council directed
City Manager Mike Puto
to check on the availability
of the county government
center meeting space to
see if the matter warrants
further discussion. The
new city hall is to be ready
by the new year.
A step forward on the
proposed deputy manager position followed the
meeting discussion. Puto
said there is $78,000 in the
budget for such a position
this fiscal year, although
it had not been entered
in the original city budget
passed last September.
Puto sounded a bit
annoyed when Zieg put
him on the spot for not
submitting deputy manager applicants’ resumes
to the council after the last
meeting.
“I’ll stop running city
hall and put this together
for you,” he responded.
Puto said about 15
applicants from outside
of Florida and 10 from
within had applied prior
to the cutoff date of the
last council meeting. Zieg
proposed that staff submit
the resumes of the top five
to the council for further
consideration.
Senmartin continued
advocating for moving
the finance department
responsibilities in-house
rather than contracting
them out to a firm. He said
Bishop Rosasco’s accountant, Jennifer Johnson,
concurred the savings for
two finance employees
could be $140,000 a year.
Puto said the description
of the finance manager is
ready to be advertised, but
he cautioned there could
be additional expenses in
hiring someone from out
of county.
After
consensus,
Senmartin made a motion
to give notice to Bishop
Rosasco that the city will
not renew its finance services contract which ends
in September and to begin
the search for finance staff,
which passed unanimously.
Bishop Rosasco has verbally agreed to serve the
city on a month-to-month
basis as needed thereafter,
the council said.
The council unanimous-
ly passed a request for a
conditional use permit
from Elite Sky Holdings for
fishing trap storage and
repair near mile marker
47.5 and approved residential applications in the
Building Permit Allocation
System.
Planning
director
George Garrett then led
a discussion about initiating conversations with
applicants in the building
permit system to update
their applications to be
compliant with the Florida
building code as well as
to confirm their interest in
remaining on the list for
allocations.
Years can pass before
applicants receive an allocation and confirmation
of interest could make the
permit process more efficient, he said. The council
agreed.
Biologist spends 6 months with turtles

MARATHON — A Key
West marine biologist spent
six months in the remote
Dry Tortugas National Park
to study and count endangered and threatened sea
turtles.
While her research
may not be as significant
as Jane Goodall’s legendary study of chimpanzees,
Elissa Connolly-Randazzo
hopes her work will make
an impact.
“It was quite the experience,” she said.
C o n n o l l y- R a n d a z z o,
who graduated in 2011
from Rider University in
New Jersey, traveled to the
islands to follow her passion for helping protect
turtles. The Dry Tortugas
are located 70 miles west of
Key West. It encompasses
100 square miles and is a
two-hour boat ride from
Key West.
The field work internship was arranged through
the Student Conservation
Association, which partners with the National Park
Service. Her counts will be
included in the annual NPS
survey to give scientists and
researchers a better understanding of turtle numbers
and behavior.

Feds to assess status of snakes, skink
BY ROBERT SILK
Free Press Contributor
BIG PINE KEY — You
might not have even
heard of the Florida Keys
mole skink, the Key ringneck snake, the rim rock
crowned snake or the peninsula ribbon snake. But
officials at the National
Key Deer Refuge have.
Now, with Lower Keys
populations of those three
snakes and one lizard
thought to be imperiled,
the refuge will soon begin
a formal assessment that
will help the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service determine
if they need federal protection.
In vulnerable Big Pine
Key, where development
and sea level rise are
diminishing such globally
unique habitats as pine
rocklands and subtropical hardwood hammocks,
learning about the status
of all sorts of species, even
less charismatic ones, can
provide valuable insight,
refuge biologist Adam
Emerick explained.
“It allows you to not
only assess the health of
the animals themselves
but the health of the entire
system,” he said.
For the uninitiated on
these four species, here’s
a primer. The Florida
Keys mole skink is a small
brown and pink lizard that
lives in coastal berms up
and down the Keys, where
it can easily hide beneath
the surface.
The Key ringneck is a
small snake of 3.5 to 10

National Key Deer Refuge officials plan to assess for possible protective status.
inches in length with a
reddish/orange tail and
a dark back. It inhabits
hardwood hammocks of
the Lower Keys.
The rim rock crowned
snake is an exceptionally
rare species that has been
known to inhabit MiamiDade County and the Keys.
Measuring up to 10 inches,
it lives in hammocks and
pine rocklands near fresh
water. It has a yellow to red
belly and a black to lightbrown head.
The peninsula ribbon
snake can reach up to 40
inches and lives in the
freshwater ditches as well
as marshes and mangrove
habitats of the Lower Keys.
Mainly tan in color, it’s the
only striped snake in the
Keys.
The crowned and ringneck snakes are venomous, but their venom is so
mild that it poses no threat
to humans, Emerick said.
The ribbon, crowned and
ringneck snakes are statedesignated as threatened,
which makes killing them
illegal, but the Florida Keys
mole skink, which has the
lesser state designation of
a species of special concern, isn’t afforded that
protection.
None of the four species
are federally protected,
however, and therefore
don’t benefit from the habitat safeguards that such a
designation brings.
At least one large environmental organization
would like to change that
scenario. In a massive
2010 petition, the Center
for Biological Diversity
included the Florida Keys
mole skink among the
404 species it asked the
federal government to list
as threatened or endangered.
In 2012, the same
non-profit included the
crowned and ringneck
snakes among 53 addi-
tional species for which it
requested federal protection.
The U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service’s review of
those requests has thus far
moved slowly, in large part
due to the sheer size of
the 2010 petition. It was
by far the largest that the
southeast region office of
USFWS has received since
the Endangered Species
Act became law in 1973,
according to listing program supervisor Rob
Tawes.
Still, in 2011 the USFWS
did complete a preliminary
review of the Florida Keys
mole skink. The agency
determined that there is
enough evidence that
the population is in peril
to proceed with a more
comprehensive analysis.
Completion of that study
is scheduled for 2017, at
which time the agency will
announce whether it recommends that the skink
be listed as threatened or
endangered.
The USFWS is yet to conduct preliminary reviews
on the crowned and ringneck snakes, though Tawes
said they are presently
scheduled for completion
by the end of September.
By then, biologists at the
National Key Deer Refuge
are likely to have gathered
more data to inform listing officials. Emerick said
they’ll assess the population of the peninsula
ribbon snake in addition
to the three species that
are under federal review
because the ribbon snake
is state listed as threatened and because learning
more about its population
will benefit the refuge.
He said that in informal
searches since joining the
staff of the Big Pine refuge six months ago he has
found ribbon snakes and
he has seen mole skinks in
areas that were never previously assessed. He has
yet to see a Key ringneck
snake or rim rock crowned
snake.
Formal assessments will
involve the deployment of
harm-free traps into habitats in which the four species reside. Each assessment could take weeks or
months.
With Lower Keys habitats under stress from both
direct and indirect human
impacts, what the refuge
observes should shed additional light on the overall
health of the Lower Keys
habitats, Emerick said.
“In general we want to
assess and preserve as
much biodiversity as we
can, because we don’t
always know what the puzzle looks like until we have
all the pieces,” he said.

Cameras to help nab plant poachers
BY ADAM LINHARDT
Free Press Staff
BIG PINE KEY — The
illegal taking of fish, lobster and other sea life is
generally prioritized by
wildlife law enforcement in
the Florida Keys, but some
new gear purchased by the
Monroe County Sheriff’s
Office will be used to help
curb the poaching of a lesser known target: plants.
The Florida Fish and
Wildlife
Conservation
Commission has received
four game cameras from
the sheriff’s office that will
be used in multiple ways,
but one use will be monitoring Key Deer National
Wildlife Refuge and other
protected lands, said FWC
Capt. David Dipre.
“Just as some people
like having an endangered animal, it’s the same
with plants,” Dipre said.
“It’s exciting for them to
have a rare plant species.”
The FWC has worked cases
in the past of people illegally taking wildlife on
protected land and parks
where it is illegal to remove
anything, he said.
Examples of rare plant
species in the Keys include
the Key tree-cactus, which
is found only in the Keys,
according to the U.S. Fish
& Wildlife Service. The
plant produces large, white
flowers and purple or red
fruit. It is found in subtropical hardwood hammocks in Islamorada and
on Big Pine and Long keys.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service says the plant was

in Monroe and MiamiDade counties and is a federally endangered species.
Keys Refuges Manager
Nancy Finley explained
that even if a plant of any

still illegal to remove anything from a refuge.

Fishermen report good lobster season
BY TIMOTHY O’HARA
Free Press Staff
FLORIDA KEYS — As
spiny lobster season draws
to a close Wednesday,
April 1, this year’s harvest
was good and the price
received was exceptional,
according to local commercial fishermen.
Asian demand has
fueled a robust international spiny lobster market
for the past several years.
Prices for live lobsters in
China and Japan reached
as high as $20 a pound in
October, fishermen said.
“It was an average season when it came to production and above average when it came to price,”
Stock Island Lobster Co.’s
Peter Bacle said. “All and
all, it was a good year.”
The price for live spiny
lobster is currently hovering around $12 a pound,
Stock Island-based commercial fishermen Mimi
Stafford said.
“The price was great,
and the catch was good,”
Stafford said.
However, Stafford did
have 22 of her 200 lobster
traps stolen.
“[The Florida Fish and
Wildlife
Conservation
Commission] is on it,”
Stafford said. “I’ve looked
and looked and looked. I
dived for them. They were
in shallow water and if
they were there around I
would have found them.”
The spiny lobster is a
roughly $70 million a year
industry and the Keys
is the epicenter of that
industry, producing 95
percent of the catch.
Spiny lobster season
runs from the first week of
August to March 31.

KEY LARGO — A
Homestead-based family
of four is hoping to serve a
taste of trendy big city fare
to its Upper Keys customers with the opening last
month of the area’s first
gastropub.
The restaurant, named
Lucy after its pet Yorkie
and their love for the
late actress Lucille Ball,
is described by the foursome as a unique eatery
that offers options pleasing to both the eyes and
the palate.
“It is something that has
been on our minds for a
while,” Sharon Odermatt
told the Free Press last
week. “And there is nothing like us here.”
The restaurant, which
officially opened its doors
on March 17, is owned and
operated by husband and
wife Fred and Petra Jackson
as well as their daughter,
Odermatt, and her boyfriend Jason Mcnicol.
Odermatt said it had
always been a dream of
her mother’s to own a restaurant. And she thought
what better place to make
that dream a reality than
down in the Florida Keys
where they visit regularly.
So, about six to eight
months ago they kicked it
into high gear and really
got the ball rolling. While
the mother and daughter
mainly work the kitchen,
the husband and boyfriend
run the floor.
Odermatt
described
their gastropub as a restaurant putting heavy
emphasis on the pairing
of food and drinks. She,
of German descent like
her mother, said an entrée
such as one from her home
country needs a good beer
Lucy, a new eatery in Key Largo, offers German-inspired food,
such as schnitzel, and gastropub standards like pork belly and

to complement it.
The menu, Odermatt
said, was partly inspired
by a chef at the Miamibased restaurant Haven.
It, like Lucy, operates as a
gastropub.
The menu offers items
such as the short rib po’
boy, a slider known as the
Dade County and topped
with pork belly and a fried
egg as well as six different
preparations of a schnit-

But Odermatt said the
biggest seller, and one of
her personal favorites, is
the chicken and donuts
combo. She described it
as a play on the popular
chicken and waffles dish
made famous by the Los
Angeles-based Roscoe’s
restaurant.
Odermatt, who has a
background in bakeries,
whips up mini cupcakes on
a daily basis as well. Each
day, she said, usually brings
about a new flavor.
Pricing ranges from $4
for a handful of appetizers
to $20 for a 12 oz. ribeye

selection of beer and wine

Higher count means more manatees to protect
I was surprised you posted Mrs. Ayres’ support for Marsha
Garrettson, Upper Keys Animal Shelter. I, too, am a supporter.
I bought a place in Bermuda Shores in 1998. This neighborhood was inundated with feral cats. I have been threatened by
the feral cat support groups.
I am a third generation South Floridian. My family came
from Greece to Key West over 100 years ago. Feral cats were
never a problem until the “northern invasion” of the Keys. I do
not understand their beliefs. These wild cats have destroyed
our natural habitat. With my own eyes I have watched them
eat plastic garbage bags to get food, knock cans over, and
the wind blow the debris into our canals. They are starving.
My neighbor’s domestic cat got out one night and a feral cat
ripped its stomach open and it died.
Marsha does the best she can, because people come down
here and abandon their animals when they leave. If you want
to help, then get involved and trap and neuter. After Hurricane
Wilma’s storm surge I found more than a dozen feral cat skulls.
They drowned. It is sad to see them suffer so much. At this
moment there is a pregnant female feral cat living under a
trailer owned by a northerner who rarely visits. I can’t go on
the property, but if you can retrieve the kittens, Marsha will
see they get a great life. My request is for all feral cat owners to
do something to help, not criticize. Give me a hand; let’s help
these kittens find a loving home.
Florida’s manatees are at a crossroads. Well, actually, the agencies that protect
manatees are at a crossroads, and manatees themselves are in the crosshairs.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is busy working behind closed doors deciding whether or not to downlist manatees from endangered to threatened under
the federal Endangered Species Act. The agency appears fixated on the fact that
there are more manatees now than there used to be. The most recent synoptic
count this winter provided a new high count of over 6,000. I have read the federal
Endangered Species Act many times. What I wonder is if the folks at FWS have
read it, because the criteria for listing status is based on a number of things, but
a minimum population estimate isn’t among them. One key factor the agency is
supposed to consider is whether current and future threats to the species and its
habitat are under control.
Manatees remain frequent victims of mutilating and — too often — deadly vessel strikes. Sixty percent of them are reliant upon artificial sources of warm water
that are likely to disappear in the future due to lawsuits or changes in how Florida
delivers power to its residents. When temperatures in recent years fell too far for
too long, some artificial refuges proved insufficient to protect manatees from
the cold; from death. Manatees that use springs for winter refuge too often find
themselves victims of harassment from swimmers and other recreational users.
Red tide is a much too frequent and fatal visitor to our Gulf coast, and there’s the
mysterious unusual mortality event in the Indian River Lagoon that killed over
100 manatees in 2013. Many of our springs, rivers and coastal waters continue to
suffer from degraded water quality and our increasing human population promises to claim more spring, river and possibly seawater for consumptive use.
My suggestion to FWS is to put away their party hats and streamers. Instead of
trying to claim some artificial victory for manatees, the agency should get busy
on doing what is actually needed to safeguard the future for manatees so that a
legitimate downlisting could be feasible in a few years. Citizens have invested
too much in this species over the years to see recovery unraveled by a misguided
push to look the other way and pretend things are rosy. They’re not. We’d like to be
able to work with FWS to create a better future for manatees. So FWS, we’ll either
see you in the meeting room or the court room. The choice is yours.

Bothered by high kill rate
If the conversation over [animal shelter] euthanasia rates
continues to focus on personal attacks, I fear it will dilute and
obscure the point. I don’t care if the shelter is being run by the
Marquis de Sade or your Aunt Fanny. My problem with the situation as reported is not personal but numerical. If any facility
has a result so statistically out of whack in direct comparison
to other, similar entities, there is a problem.
I would like to point out that every employee of a park in
the Keys is an invasive exotic, as are we all. Be careful what
you wish for. It has been my joy to love and care for many
pets through the years, and I am deeply bothered by the high
percentages of death sentences as noted in the original article.
The personal attacks and defenses are heartwarming, but they
miss the point.
Before that contract is renewed, the managers of the shelter
should explain their euthanasia statistics and provide paperwork to back them up. I have yet to hear or see any acceptable
rationale for an 80 to 90 percent kill rate [for cats] when the
other shelters are far less lethal. Perhaps it is time for some
new blood. Pun intended.

Caring with heart
Each day amazes me when I meet people who live in the Keys and do not know
about Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice of the Florida Keys or the types of
alternative home health and hospice care services that we provide.
As the only locally operated non-profit home health and hospice care provider
for Monroe County our mission still remains a mystery, except to those in need
or to the families that have experienced first-hand the compassionate and dedicated care that our clinical staff have provided for over 30 years.
Those in need; the uninsured Realtor that gets diagnosed with a life-altering
disease, or the grieving husband whose wife lost her insurance coverage and
unexpectedly receives news she has terminal cancer, or the child that needs
intravenous antibiotic treatments. When it comes to providing home health and
hospice care for the underinsured and uninsured residents, who do the physicians and medical facilities throughout the Keys call? They call VNA/Hospice. Our
signature blue heart logo is our legacy to the community.
Through our decades of service, our dedicated nurses, physical and occupational therapists, home health aides and clinical social workers have touched
many lives, from your family and friends to your elected officials. The work we
do and the charity care we provide affects everyone. Last year, VNA/Hospice provided a quarter-million dollars in underfunded charity care to our community.
During the past five years, we have touched the lives of more than 7,000 patients
and their families.
Recently we held our annual remembrance ceremonies to celebrate over 150
beautiful lives that we had the pleasure of caring for in 2014. As we near the Easter
holiday I ask the community to pray for our physicians, chaplains, nurses, home
health aides, social workers and our wonderful volunteers.
In order for us to continue to provide charity care to residents we need the
help and support from the community. So I am challenging you, If we have ever
touched your life in some way or the life of a friend, I am asking that you take a
few minutes on Easter Sunday and join our “Caring for Hearts” campaign and
donate to VNA/Hospice by texting “KEYSANGELS” to 88588 and help us to continue our mission of caring for the Keys.

Pythons
LOWER KEYS — A sixminute power outage
Thursday, March 26, affected all 29,000 Keys Energy
customers starting at 8:51
a.m., the utility reported.
The power outage originated in the Big Pine Key
electrical substation, where
contractors working there
“inadvertently tripped it
offline,” which triggered
the larger tieline outage,
said Keys Energy spokesman Julio Torrado.
The outage started at
8:51 a.m. and power was
regurgitated and covered
with DNA from a python.
The study showed that
77 percent of the rabbits
were eaten by pythons
within 11 months of their
release into the park. It
was a rate, McCleery said,
that shocked the scientists.
Scientists believe that
tens of thousands of
Burmese pythons, which
are native to Southeast
Asia, are now living in the
Everglades, where they
thrive in the warm, humid
climate.
While many apparently were released by their
owners when they became

gist Robert McCleery told
the Free Press.
McCleery was one of
five authors of the study,
published March 18 and
done in conjunction
with the Florida Fish and
Wildlife
Conservation
Commission as well as the
United States Geological
Survey.
The study took 26 native
marsh rabbits from the
greater Everglades area,
fitted each with a tracking
device and then let them
loose inside the park in
late 2012. At first, McCleery
said, they flourished. Each
took on a normal, healthy
life and began reproducing.
Scientists chose the rabbit as the go-to test subject because they say the
small mammals are fairly
resilient to predation.
Then all of a sudden,
according to McCleery, the
weather started warming
up and the rabbits began
to vanish one by one.
After further investigation, scientists located
16 carcasses within the
stomachs of the pythons.
Number 17 was found

ENP.”
“This clarifies there is
a problem that needs to
be addressed,” McCleery
said.
The other 33 percent, he
said, fell prey to other animal attacks, such as birds
and snakes, and five were
unaccounted for.
How does this play a
part in the bigger picture?
“We know [all] mammals play a critical part in
maintaining a [functional] ecosystem,” McCleery
said.
He said if the removal
of pythons from the park
doesn’t begin to happen
soon, then a cascading
ecosystem is sure to follow. That, for one, means
a total disruption of the
park’s food chain.
“Burmese pythons pose
a serious threat to the faunal communities and ecological functioning of the
greater Everglades ecosystem, which will probably
spread as python populations expand their range,”
the study read.

SOUTH FLORIDA —
Two military installations
known as HM-40 and HM69 once played a major
role in protecting the
southeastern region of the
United States from possible nuclear airstrikes by

The crash of ’29 and those who made it happen
BY DAVID BECKWITH
Free Press Columnist
I spent 40 years working for
some of the giant firms on Wall
Street and taught financial courses as an adjunct professor for five
universities. One thing I learned
early in my career and that I
taught in my courses was that the
securities markets cycle. While the
long-term trends are a positively
sloping line, markets have always
been a two-step-forward-onestep-backward process.
While market pullbacks of 10 to
30 percent have been somewhat
common, true market crashes or
capitulations have been relatively
rare. Even after the onset of World
War II, the market decline was
only 32 percent. In 1973-74 we
had a 48 percent market crash;
in 2000-02 we experienced a 49
percent market debacle; and most
recently in 2007-08, the market
gave up 56 percent of its value.
But the crash of legend is still the
1929-32 bear market that drove
averages down 86 percent.
“The Day The Bubble Burst” is
a social history of the ’29 market
crash. It is not a forensic analysis from an economist’s point of
view.
Authors Gordon Thomas and
Max Morgan-Witts successfully
capture the zeitgeist of that colorful period. The book reads like
a novel, filled with great charac-
ters and explosive action. The
authors tell the stories of John
D. Rockefeller, J.P Morgan, Henry
Ford and President Herbert
Hoover. They also introduce lesser-known titans like Alfred Sloan
and William Crapo Durant. The
reader becomes acquainted with
speculators like Jesse Livermore
and learns interesting tales of
ordinary people like Joan and
Steve Vargo.
It is an excellent portrayal of the
events leading to the 1929 market collapse and the players who
orchestrated it. Readers will be
shocked by the ineptitude of the
government, even though they
fully understood that disastrous
consequences were almost sure
to come from the market manipulation happening as men found
opportunities to exploit the flaws
in the system.
“The Day The Bubble Burst”
was originally released in 1979. It
was rereleased by St. Martins in
2012. If you are looking for a technical accounting of the crash, this
is not it. But the book illustrates
a principle I taught in my classes
for years: The lessons of history
are timeless, as they are based on
human nature and human behavior, and people change very little
over time.
The book is also a good
accounting of the culture of the
time and the delusionary thinking that guided American finance,
business and government policy.
Given the upheaval the world
experienced in 2008 and 2009, it
is timely to refresh our memories on these matters. The style
of the book might remind some
of Michael Lewis’ “The Big Short”
and Studs Terkel’s people’s history,
“The Good War.” It also made me
wonder if this book was possibly an inspiration for Lewis’ and
Terkel’s works.
Many people today view modern events with grave concern
and are highly skeptical of government’s actions. It is worth seeking
out a copy of this highly entertaining narrative and to compare the

Clockwise from above, three
photos HM-69 in Everglades
National Park, a 1973 map
of North Key Largo’s HM-40
and two current photos of its
remnants.
Southern Everglades
HM-69, once home to a
base that included 22 buildings and 140 personnel,
has faltered some over the
last 36 years. But, through
a dedicated National Park
Service program, it has
regained some of its former glory.
The site, in 2004, was
placed on the National
Register of Historic Places.
And up until six years ago,
it was off-limits to the public. But through the help of
a veteran once stationed at
the base, the park opened
the remaining structures
for regular tours.
“We knew what was here,
but we had no idea of the
significance,” Singer said.
During its 14-year tenure
HM-69 housed 18 anti-aircraft missiles, six of which
contained nuclear warheads. And although none
were ever fired, Singer said,
the battalion had to be
ready in a moment’s notice.
Once given the go-ahead,
they had a 15-minute window to prepare the missile
for its launch sequence.
Visitors can see a former building, now used as
a research facility for the
park, which served as the
squad bay, mess hall and
chapel, among other functions.
“This was also where the
decision was made to push
the button,” Singer said.
The building is hard to
miss with its pink exterior
— a color selected when
the building was initially
erected because of its supposedly soothing effects.
Three missile barns, an
assembly building and a
dog kennel can also be seen
about a half-mile down the
road from the building. It,
Singer said, was known as
the launch area. And he
said it was heavily guarded
with limited access to even
many of the men stationed
at the base.
Six missiles were kept at
each of the three barns,
two of which were nuclear.
“It was all under the
command of a 27-year-old
captain,” Singer said. “And
he had the power to push
the button that could end
the world.”
The free tour takes visitors inside a warehouse
which houses a replica
missile as well as some
artifacts from the base’s
heyday.

In the Open Class, the

“These dogs are athletes

collie named Jolie and to
the sport of sheep herding.
“I got into this sport
when a girl I know was
going into the Air Force
and she offered me her
dog, Jolie, a 1-year-old
border collie,” Cannon
said. “She told me she had
started training Jolie to
compete in sheep herding.
I didn’t know a thing about
the sport, so I began to
read books, talk to people
in the sport, learn as much
as I could and went online
to get educated and went
to work training Jolie.”
Cannon quickly fell in
love with the sport.
“This interaction with
the herding dog is very
addictive,” he said. “I was
an avid hunter, but I gave
it up to do only sheep
herding.”
Cannon has since retired
6.5-year-old Jolie from
competition, where she
won a number of titles,
and is bringing Roxie, a
3.5-year-old border collie,
up through the ranks. He
got Roxie as a 10-monthold puppy and quickly
realized he had a canine
prodigy.
To date, Roxie has won
several competitions and
has been the high scorer
in five sheep herding tri-
nity since 1946. The resort
is home to three restaurants, including Atlantic’s
Edge, which is known for
its tropical-inspired seafood, stone crab, prime
steaks, organic produce
and island inspired desserts. Some of its specialties include Maine lobster
grilled cheese, blackened

glazed mahi with bok choy
and coconut bamboo rice.

Qualls reflects on career, looks to college
BY J.W. COOKE
Free Press Staff
MARATHON — In six
seasons with Marathon
High School’s Lady Fins,
senior John’Nisha Qualls
has been the main factor in a program that has
blossomed from an afterthought to a playoff contender.
Now as Qualls looks
toward college, Marathon’s
record holder and The Key
West Citizen’s two-time
All-Monroe County girls
basketball player off the
year said she hopes she
has established a good
foundation for the future
of the Lady Fins program.
“As a captain I felt I had
to push them to do better,” Qualls said. “That also
helped me continue to do
better. I hope that continues to happen.”
During her career at
Marathon High, which
began on the varsity program as an eighth grader,
Qualls twice broke the
school’s single-game scor-
ing record. She first set the
all-time mark with a 44point performance during her junior campaign
and this season eclipsed
that total with a 45-point
effort.
“I hope it stands for a
long time,” she said about
her record, “at least for a
few more years.”
Qualls has had three
different coaches during
her final three seasons
with the Lady Fins, but as
first-year coach Paul Davis
said he quickly found out,
“she’s relentless and once
she realizes she can take
it to the basket she’s not
going to stop.”
Davis said he knew right
away that Qualls is a special talent and made sure
she would optimize her
skills.
“We worked on a couple
of moves this season that
helped her go to her left,
when the teams where
cutting off her right and
she got a lot better on
defense this year,” Davis
said. “She was also able
to step up her rebounding
this year. She’s also a vocal
leader of the team, so she
really couldn’t have done
any more.”
In Qualls’ mind the only
thing left to do was make it
further into the state tournament. However, she said
she will continue to follow
the program and hopes
one day the Lady Fins can
make it to the state finals.
Davis said it will be tough
to replace Qualls. In the
senior’s absence this season, all-county teammate
Yailin Neida was still able
to score 14 points against
district rival Palmer Trinity,
but Marathon only scored
17 in the game. Qualls
also had team-high averages of 22 points and nine
rebounds per game.
“Without John’Nisha it’s
going to be interesting,”
Davis said. “She brought
a lot on offense for us, but
was also a big defensive
factor as well.”
Qualls is now looking to
her future, although she
said she still has not decid-
ed which college it will be
— weighing her options
between Miami Dade
College or a community
college in Kansas that has
shown interest in her playing for the program.
She said she hopes to
contact the Miami Dade
coach to gauge her chances for playing there before
she makes a final decision.
“I want to stay close to
home,” Qualls said. “It’s
going to feel weird not
playing for Marathon, but
when I go to college, I’m
going to try to play for the
team whereever I am.”
As for her legacy with
the Lady Fins, Qualls said
she hopes to be remembered as a great player
who achieved a new level
for the program.
“I know I’m going to
remember leading this
team to where they are
now,” Qualls said. “I set my
goals and I accomplished

MARATHON — The
Marathon High School
softball team played in
some big games at the
SLAMFEST tournament
just before spring break.
Against Naples at the
tournament, the Lady
Fins (7-7) fell with just
four base hits.
“We couldn’t hit,” said
first-year coach Kevin
Freeman. “Jordan [Roney]
had 10 strikeouts with no
walks, but we had three
unearned runs because of
errors. We played well. We
just couldn’t get any hits.”
Immediately following the team’s game with
Naples, the Lady Fins
faced Osceola and took
another loss.
“We lost 12-8. Grace
Kirwan, one of our eighth
graders, pitched that game
for us. She pitched well.
She had seven walks, but
only gave up three hits,
but we had three errors.
Our bats woke up a little
bit.”
Roney,
Savannah
Rodamer, Sacha Olivera,
Sammie Bonilla and
Brandi Spalten each had
two hits. Sam Bullard and
Becca Boucher had one
hit apiece.
After an 0-2 start,
Marathon fell to the loser’s bracket where the
BIG PINE KEY — Timothy
Chavez clocked a 19:21
to take first overall in the
inaugural Run With Deer
5K Run/Walk for FAVOR on
March 21.
The Munster, Ind., resident was followed by Big
Pine Key’s Helena Bursa,
who was the top female
with a 19:59 over the 3.1mile course.
More than 120 runners
and walkers raced from
the start at the Key Deer
Bookstore in the Winn-Dixie
plaza through the habitats
of the Key deer as well as the
Lower Keys marsh rabbit.
Masters winner was Big
Pine’s Vincent Parent with a
time of 20:46.
The top female master’s
runner was Deborah Holton
from Howe Island, Ontario,
clocking a 23:56.
Walkers were paced all
the way by Larry Ferguson
of Summerland Key with a
30:59.
Barbara Wendt from La
Grange, Ill., was the top
female walker with a 39:09.
Young local runners fared
well. Ramrod Key resident
Matthew Pinkley was third
overall with a time of 20:23
and Ben Pinkley was second
in the 10-14 age groups with
a time of 24:48.
In the 9-and-under
female group, Big Pine’s
Riley McDonald took home
first place in 30:17. Runnerup was Big Pine runner
Summer Livegood with a
45:30.

IN THE KEYS
KAYAK EXCURSION
SAEED ADYANI/Netflix
Actors Kyle Chandler and Linda Cardellini appear in a scene at The Moorings in Islamorada.
Role
Carribean Club, which
also alerted customers of its appearance in
the series through social
media.
A night scene featuring
Kyle Chandler, who plays
the role of John Rayburn,
shows the brightly lit
Caribbean Club sign in
the background. Multiple
shots of the mile marker 104 bar are included
throughout the series.
Several locals have also
appeared in the series as
extras.
Bob Page, an Islamorada
resident, got the opportunity to appear in a
scene when actor Ben
Mendelsohn’s character,
Danny Rayburn, sits down
Contributed photo
near him in the Whistle
Stop Bar.
“Usually extras are in
the background, but there
I was all by myself,” Page
said. “My friends are calling me a little movie star.”
Page is also briefly in
another scene in the background at a marina.
Now that the show
has aired, Page said that
“Bloodline” does justice to
the Upper Keys.
“The scenery is great,”
he said. “The acting is
good.”
Page said the production crew took great care
of the extras by providing meals and snacks to
keep everyone comfortable. A large meal was
served daily behind the
post office in Islamorada.
Extras for the series are
committed to 12 hours if
they are called in.
Free Press contributing
writer Jill Zima Borski also
served as an extra in the
series.
“Seeing myself and
newly-made friends who
also were extras on the big
screen was a hoot,” she
told the Free Press. “The
beachfront scenes showed
the incredible beauty of
the Keys, which we can all
appreciate.”
Borski can be seen in
the first episode stepping
out of a van as well as
playing tug-of-war on the
beach at The Moorings,
which doubles as the
Rayburn family’s hotel.
She also appears in a later
episode during a memorial service.
Filming for the series
took place over a sevenmonth period last year.
Actress Linda Cardellini,
who plays Meg Rayburn,
says she is among the cast
members who enjoyed
their time in the Keys.
Cardellini told the Free
Press she fed the tarpon
at Robbie’s Marina and
took a snorkeling visit to
Molasses Reef. She added
that she felt she was starting to fit in here.
“I love parking out by
the Caribbean Club and
watching the sunset,” she
said.
It sounds like she might
get another chance to do
that as Netflix has decided to move forward with
filming a second season
beginning next month.
To order the show, visit
netflix.com. The website
is currently offering a free
trial period.

Mogi Kinsey O’Neil passed away on March 11, 2015.
She and her husband Captain V. Patrick (Red) O’Neil had lived
in Key Largo since 1966 when Red retired from his 30 year U.S.
Naval career. Red had been the Commanding Officer of the Naval
Air Station in Key West and they decided to stay in the Keys.
“Red” passed away in 2004.
Mogi was born in DeFuniak Springs, Florida and was descended
from an early Florida pioneer family. She grew up in Miami and
attended Monteverde Academy and Miami Sr. High School.
Mogi’s son, Patrick, died in 1997. She is survived by her daughter,
Mogi O’Neil Hogle and her husband Dick, of Santa Fe, New
Mexico. She leaves three grandsons, Patrick, Ian and Brian and
7 great grandchildren. She loved all of Florida, especially the Keys
and the Everglades.
Mogi was much loved by many gracious friends who helped her
make this transition in dignity and able to be with her dog Mango
and cat Kiwi. Her greatest joys were her friends, music and all
forms of life.
Mogi was buried with her family in the Kinsey family Cemetery in
Monticello, Florida with, at her request, no services.
If you choose to honor Mogi, please donate to the Wild Bird
Center in Tavernier or to the Audubon Society or please adopt a
homeless animal.
She would love you to plant a native tree rather than send flowers.
