How do you feel about The Weather Channel calling us out?

Last week the whole of Florida was gripped with Hurricane Matthew fever. We watched the forecasts and news coverage and most of us, quite accurately, predicted we were in the clear. But the The Weather Channel was not so nice about Key West’s ability to determine their own fate. One TWC reporter in Nassau said Bahamians were prepared, “Unlike the people of Key West who just goof off and party.” With 18 working meteorologists on our island, Key Westers deserve a little more credit, TWC. So we asked locals …

“The Weather Channel would stand in mud puddle and tell you it’s a flood,” said Ronnie Rupé. “We take it seriously because our homes cost three times more than anywhere else.

ELECTION SEASON

KEY WEST WEEKLY / OCTOBER 14, 2016

This race between Kevin Madok (R) and Ron Saunders (D) is becoming the most contentious in the Keys arena. Madok defeated incumbent Amy Heavilin in the primary and now faces Saunders, an experienced politician, in the general election Nov. 8. Both have office-specific experience, and are keen to point out the differences in their abilities and philosophies.

CLERK OF THE COURT

1. Please explain, in layman’s terms, the duties of the elected Clerk of the Court and the responsibilities of the office.

2. You have both held positions of upper management within the county Clerk’s office. What were your primary responsibilities during that time?

3. After 28 years of the same county Clerk, the office saw a high turnover rate. How can you restore stability?

4. What makes you more qualified than your opponent to hold this office?

Kevin Madok (Republican)

Ron Saunders (Democrat)

1. The Clerk is the elected official that safeguards the public tax dollars. The primary responsibilities of the Clerk are Chief Financial Officer and Auditor ­— maintain custody of all assets, pays all County bills, and audit all County departments and County vendors. The Clerk is also responsible for overseeing the recording of official records and managing court files and documents, in a timely manner.

1. The Clerk of the Court is the official record keeper of all court, county and property records, and most importantly to voters, reviews all Monroe County expenditures before making payment.

2. I helped run the Finance Department for eight years. My responsibilities included managing staff to assure the smooth operations in the day-to-day processing and payment of invoices, establishing and maintaining effective internal controls, and closing out the year-end financial records, overseeing the audit process and preparing the audited financial reports. I have an excellent record in administering these duties.

3. Stability can only be restored through effective leadership. Effective leadership is not possible without an intimate understanding of the office. I have the ability to properly train staff.

I will not substitute outsourcing for a lack of training, supervision and staff retention.

4. My education, work experience and credentials align perfectly with the duties of the Clerk. My opponent has spent his entire career as a politician and lobbyist. There are no duties or responsibilities of a County Clerk that can make use of these political experiences. A Clerk that becomes political will lose his independence and effectiveness as a fiscal watchdog.

2. As Legal Counsel from June 2013June 2016, I supervised the 63 employees of the Clerk’s Office in the Courts and Recording divisions and handled all legal issues regarding the Clerk’s Office.

3. While representing Monroe County in the Florida Legislature, I served on the 12-member committee that determines state funding for Clerks. I will use my legislative experience and contacts to restore recent state funding cuts to provide cost-of-living salary increases and adequate affordable benefits to Clerk’s employees, which will help reduce turnover.

4. As a State Legislator, I was twice ranked as the most effective member of the 120-member Florida House. My leadership skills and communication ability will make me more effective in managing the Clerk’s 96 employees.

My opponent has held a County job for the past four years making over $100,000 per year while supervising not a single employee. How will he independently review expenditures of his current employer and review county departments he says “his fingerprints are all over”? Unlike my opponent, I will have no conflict of interest in being an independent watchdog of our County tax dollars.

TODD SNIDER Folk Legend coming to Key West

S

inger, songwriter, storyteller and all around rad guy, Todd Snider, is heading to the end of the road for two not-to-be-missed performances.

He’ll play Tuesday, Nov. 1 downtown at The Studios of Key West and follow up with an encore performance at Stock Island’s COAST the following evening, Wednesday, Nov. 2. Both shows are being produced by Coast Projects.

Snider, a self proclaimed "tree hugging, peace loving, lazy-ass hippie" has called many places home — Portland, Austin, and most recently East Nashville, Tennessee where he’s become a true folk songwriting legend in a town filled to the brim with musicians just trying to make it.

But strangely, Todd’s big break came in the mid-1990s by way of Key West (kind of) when our island’s own most famous troubadour — a guy by the name of Buffett — discovered him, took him on the road, and signed him to his label.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Since then Todd Snider has played his way around the globe, entertaining audiences at his legendary live shows with a mix of smart, witty songwriting and between-songstorytelling that is as personal and hilarious as it is honest and thought provoking.

Tickets are going fast and both shows will sell out, so grab them while you can at www.coastprojects.com/todd.

The Key West Burlesque performers and an array of special guest stars including Cheeky Derrière, Moana Amour and Aurora Natrix, portray the cast of the cherished tale in a way the audience never imagined.

The show runs six nights — Friday to Wednesday, Oct. 21-26 at the Waterfront Playhouse in Key West. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. In addition to regular seating ($55 to $75), a limited number of stage seats are available at $100.

SECOND TOKE IS THE CHARM?

Legalization of medical marijuana back on the ballot

I

n 2014, Amendment 2 legalizing medical marijuana failed although it garnered 58 percent of the vote but fell short of the 60 percent needed to become law. Revamped and rewritten, Amendment 2 on the Nov. 8 ballot will allow qualified physicians and caregivers to certify patients and issue IDs for medical marijuana use.

The amendment now expands the definition of debilitating diseases, includes parental consent and limits caregiver patients.

Voting “yes” on Amendment 2 would allow licensed physicians and caregivers to dispense marijuana prescriptions to patients with specific debilitating diseases such as cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and other serious diseases.

An ID would allow patients to legally obtain marijuana from state regulated dispensaries. The Department of Health would regulate and limit the number of centers that cultivate and distribute marijuana.

This Amendment would expand on the recently approved Florida House Bill 307 allowing terminally ill patients to use marijuana. HB 307 allowed Trulieve, a marijuana dispensary, to open in Tallahassee last July with more dispensaries pending throughout the state.

The amendment’s definition of a “caregiver” remains vague. However, it does state it must be someone 21 years or older, who is licensed to help a patient. The licensing guidelines have yet to be written. The Department of

Health will limit the number of patients a caregiver may see and cap the amount of IDs they may hand out. Caregivers are also prohibited from consuming the marijuana dispensed to their patients.

Also, Amendment 2 would require annual renewal for all patients and access to marijuana would not be limitless. Lastly, a minor would need parental or guardian consent in writing to obtain an ID. A “no” vote will not affect the existing Florida statutes. Aside from HB 307, there is the Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act of 2014 which allows nonsmoked low-THC marijuana for qualified patients suffering from seizures and advanced cancer.

So far no known patients have received such benefits since enacted Jan. 1, 2015.

An ID would allow patients to legally obtain marijuana from state regulated dispensaries.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Vote ‘no’ on Amendment 1

Embrace ‘Energiewende’

Last Stand opposes Florida Amendment 1 and is recommending a “no” vote on Nov. 8.

This Amendment, titled the “Rights of Electricity Consumers Regarding Solar Energy Choice,” was drafted by statewide utilities in order to control how Floridians can install and use solar panels on their own properties. The campaign to pass the Amendment is funded by Florida Power and Light, Duke Energy and Tampa Electric and is designed to protect their monopoly markets and profits. Florida is one of only five states that specifically prohibit companies from installing solar panels on homes or businesses and then selling the power directly to the consumer, bypassing the utilities.

These utilities want the constitution to perpetuate their strangle hold on the right to sell electricity even if the effect is to restrict expansion of solar power installations throughout the state. …

Amendment One will make this state of affairs permanent by putting the language in the Florida constitution. …

Florida doesn’t need Amendment One. Existing law gives Floridians the right to purchase or lease solar equipment and allows net metering, where utilities credit a retail rate to customers generating excess solar power that is returned to the electric grid.

The constitutional changes in Amendment One are not in the best interest of Florida residents. Last Stand joins a large bipartisan group of organizations recommending a NO vote for Amendment One.

A generation of Germans picked up the renewable torch that the Reagan administration tossed aside … and renamed it “die Energiewende.”

The word translates simply as “energy change.”

But there’s nothing simple about the Energiewende. It calls for an end to the use of fossil fuels and nuclear power and embraces clean, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass. Most Americans just assume that the only way to get power is from a few large generating plants, usually owned by corporate utilities operating as monopolies.

Not so in Germany. Decentralizing electricity was at the core of the example of the revolutionary movement known as the Energiewende. Decentralization … rewarded people who installed solar panels on their roofs, or invested in cooperatives that bought wind turbines, by paying them for the energy they produced.

Let’s have an energy change in the United States with Florida leading the way. Don’t let the utilities control solar power in the Sunshine State. Vote “No” in November on Amendment 1 and make solar the decentralized power source it should be.

GONE DEER

It’s zombie apocalypse for Key Deer on Big Pine Key

O

n Sept. 19, while training for our upcoming 100-mile race, my teammate Jessika Rady and I were riding along Long Beach Road on Big Pine Key when we noticed a deer, foaming from the mouth and looking very sickly. We made a note to call FWC when we returned, but after 20 more miles of riding … we forgot.

KRISTEN Fast forward to today. I have no more LIVENGOOD deer left in my Sands subdivision community in Big Pine Key. The deer that knock is a Marathon over my trash cans, and rub their antlers High School and USF grad, mom of on my bedroom window at 4 a.m. are gone. two beautiful little I haven’t seen a deer in my community in girls, and wife to a week, the deer that used to frequent the some cute guy “meadow” we call the Vineyard Church’s she met in a bar. parking lot.

She enjoys being a social busy bee, The endangered Key deer are gone in red wine, running my neighborhood and replaced with white (very, very slowly), Florida State of Agriculture SUV’s slowly and spearfishing. roaming the streets looking for infected deer and putting the poor things out of their misery. I didn’t even realize there was a problem in my neighborhood and thought it was isolated to other subdivisions when the first press release rolled in last week about the screwworm. Then within an hour, I received the call from my aunt that one was put down across the street from my house and that they were looking for two more of the infected deer.

In pictures too graphic to post, the screwworm larvae eat the living flesh of its host, causing the animals extreme pain in the process. Dr. Doug Mader said in a recent Facebook post that only deer who were too far along have been euthanized.

That number stands at more than 70 as of press time. With the herd around the 1,200 mark, it’s said it is just a small percentage, but for some, these neighborhood deer are like their pets roaming the streets, bearing their fawn in our backyards.

Let’s hope the sterile flies are released as soon as possible to start the depopulation of the screwworm, and eradicate them again from the United States.

O

n Monday morning, an “incident command” meeting took place in Marathon with members of federal, state and local governments. The round table included many different agencies ranging from the state Department of Agriculture to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife, to the state Department of Health to address the screwworm outbreak in the Keys.

Officials suspect the disease appeared in the Keys sometime in July, but wasn’t officially identified until late September. Approximately 76 deer Key deer have been put down. There will be a public meeting about the situation on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 10 a.m. at Big Pine Community Center, 31009 Atlantis Dr. At the moment, officials are most concerned about educating the public about the threat to their pets. The disease, if caught early, can be treated and this is not a situation where vets would either quarantine or euthanize animals.

“We don’t want residents to be reluctant to bring in their pets to be examined. If you have concerns, bring it in. It’s not a death sentence,” said Jenn Meale, communications director for state Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam.

Marathon veterinarian Dr. Mike Dunn has successfully treated one case that originated on Big Pine Key. “We picked out the maggots, preserved them for state analysis, and used some antibiotics,” he said.

“The dog we saw in our office is doing great.”

He said he was initially flummoxed by what he was looking at. And that may explain how the screwworm spread.

“It can affect dogs, cats, rabbits and pigs — any vertebrate.

But if caught early, it’s very treatable. If you suspect your pet has screwworm, call you veterinarian immediately.”

– Doug Mader, Keys Veterinarian

“I thought, ‘What the heck is this?’ It took me about an hour to figure it out,” Dunn said. “It’s just something we don’t see everyday, because the screwworm has been eradicated in the United States for so long.”

Dunn said the active ingredient in heartworm medicine (ivermectin) is also a proven deterrent.

“It another level of protection, not 100 percent, but pretty good,” Dunn said.

On Monday, local Keys officials added special insight to the state and federal eradication plan. First, the feral cat population on Big Pine Key needs some type of monitoring and bilingual messages are needed. In addition, those present suggested a special screening station on Big Pine Key. That has been set for Sunday, Oct. 16 (See ‘checkpoints’ sidebar).

Currently, residents and visitors traveling north are required to stop at a checkpoint in Key Largo at MM 106 to have their animals examined.

It’s unknown how the infection came to the Keys. Theories range from diseased animals travelling with refugees or pets traveling with owners from the Caribbean. Although widespread screwworm infections have been tamped down, pockets of the disease exist in Central America, Cuba and Barbados.

Officials caution the Keys outbreak will get worse before the spread comes under control.

KEY WEST WEEKLY / OCTOBER 14,14, 2016 UPPER KEYS WEEKLY / OCTOBER 2016

THE SIGNS

THE RISK

The biggest risk is for wild animals on Big Pine Key and No Name Key — Key deer and feral cats. It’s less likely to transmit to indoor animals (pets) and human infection is extremely rare. Most at risk are animals with open sores, especially if they are outdoor animals. The screwworm flies normally only travel a few miles, but in some cases (such as a hurricane) can spread beyond that perimeter.

THE SCIENCE

In 1959 the screwworm was officially eradicated in Florida, using the sterile fly technology developed by Edward Knipling and Roland Bushland that was first tested on Sanibel Island. It was then deployed in the rest of the country and eradicated in the Southern United States by 1966 and in Mexico by 1991.

The sterile flies being used to stop the spread in the Keys originate in Pamana, where they are lightly irradiated to make the male flies sterile. They are released into the wild to mate with the females which only mate once in a lifetime.

The sterile flies, in pupae state, will be placed in traps around Big Pine Key and No Name Key, and allowed to hatch and fly away.

Because the flies are sterile, there is no chance they can become established in this habitat.

Check your pets for open sores; if they exist, cover the wounds to prevent the flies from landing. Screwworms eggs and larvae are cream colored and may be visible in an open wound. A mature infection site is described as pouch-like and deep as the parasites literally “screw” themselves into the live flesh. It also emits a foul odor. Some cases of screwworm manifest as a bump or lump, however. It is extremely painful. After a few days on the host animal, the larvae will fall off to pupate, burrowing into the ground to begin a new lifecycle.

THE CHECKPOINTS

The first is a mandatory checkpoint for residents and visitors who are traveling out of the Keys with their animals. The checkpoint is located at MM 106, right before the beginning of the 18-Mile Stretch on the oceanside. It is open seven days a week, 24-hours a day. There is also free screwworm screening for pets in the Big Pine Key Winn-Dixie parking lot from 9 to 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 16.

“We have the ability to save a very important, endangered subspecies of the white tail deer — the Key deer. If we can successfully eradicate the blow fly, we can preserve the animals for future generations, a chance to view the precious animals.

—Adam Putnam, state Commissioner of Agriculture

Grimm is passionate about the quality of wines they serve choosing mostly organic and bio dynamic wines from small vineyards.

Biodynamic being the new “it” trend declared by Food and Wine magazine where the grapes and soil are cultivated on cosmos/moon oriented calendar and famous in Europe for more than 20 years. Ninety percent of Vivez Joyeux wines are from France, while the others are from small U.S. vineyards.

“We like digestible wines, not industrial,” winked Grimm, adding that the grape is available by the glass or bottle.

They also offer the finest meats and cheeses to pair with the wines. Aside from the usual European cheeses, Grimm selects Wisconsin and California cheeses that are easier to ship fresh. Choosing hormone and antibiotic-free meats is a must for their small plates and platters. One specialty is the Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, made from free-range, acorn-fed pigs in Spain and Portugal and cured up to 48 months.

And naturally, the French must have a tartine du jour, a type of open-faced sandwich with rich fillings.

COMING SOON

W 22.

ake up music junkies, The Psychedelic Furs are coming to the Key West Theater Saturday, Oct.

The Psychedelic Furs were the anthemic band of Gen-X youth, literally the soundtrack playing on the theater screens, VHS tapes and tape cassettes. They were the British band that brought post-punk cool to the U.S. with their edgy riffs and haunting lyrics. Formed by brothers, Richard Butler, the raspy, deep throated lead singer, song writer and Tim Butler, lead bassist, they defined a generation of music and a few hit songs that we will never forget — whether you’re a child of the ’80s or not.

Considered British New wave in the late ’70s, their music was influenced by such cult leaders as the Sex Pistols, Velvet Underground, Roxy Music, and David Bowie. Richard wrote the songs based on his own experiences and brother Tim added the music creating classic albums such as “All of This and Now” (1980) and “Talk Talk Talk” (1981).

Then a young actress named Molly Ringwald played movie director John Hughes a song written by the Furs, “Pretty In Pink.” Based on the song, Hughes’s movie classic, “Pretty In Pink” was made in 1986. The Furs

recorded a newer, nicer version for Hughes, one that to this day on the radio.

“It’s a double-edge sword,” said Tim Butler of Pretty in Pink fame. “We were really grateful, it’s one of the top movie soundtrack songs ever but we lost a lot of our hardcore fans who thought we sold out.” The Furs are so much more than that one song with hits like: “It’s My life,” “Love My Way,” “Heaven,” “Heartbeat Hill,” and “The Ghost in You.”

“Bands nowadays don’t have anything to kick against. We were born out of necessity, at the time there were no jobs so it was our only way to get out of London,” said Tim Butler, bassist. Now Butler describes modern music as “too stylized, vapid and with bad lyrics.”

Today The Furs still haven’t lost their ’80s edge in the modern age. They influence and play with quintessential modern bands today such as The Killers, making them just as hardcore and legendary as yesterday. For tickets and more info go to www.thekeywesttheater.com.

“A lot of people that haven’t seen us live think we are pretty laid back, but when we play we are a pretty heavy rock band.”

Who has been your biggest inspiration at KWHS and why?

Coach and assistant principal Dave Perkins has been one of my biggest inspirations at KWHS. He gives great advice, he's very understanding and has a great spirit, drive, and determination to accomplish any task he sets his mind on.

What class do you think has best prepared you for life after high school and why?

I would say my French class has best prepared me for life after high school. We didn't only speak French in class, but we spoke of philosophy, we spoke of life. Madame Palay is very intelligent and experienced. She has certainly bestowed a lot of knowledge unto us.

What is your favorite social media and why? Who do you follow?

My favorite social media is Facebook — it’s more widely used and has more to offer than Instagram or Snapchat.

What are the biggest challenges facing the Keys? What would you do to meet these challenges?

In my opinion the biggest challenge in the Keys is drug and alcohol use among teens. As a starting approach, I think we should implement drug tests for back to school physicals and others which will regulate the usage a little.

What are your plans after high school?

After high school I hope to attend FAU, FGCU OR FIU to study physical therapy.

Do you think you will make the Keys your permanent home? Why or why not?

No, I don’t think the Keys are the right place for me to settle. I want go and explore other countries and states to see what suits me best. Key West is too far from the mainland and a little too overpriced.

Finish this sentence: Living in the Keys has taught me… … how to live free, not to worry about too much crime or discrimination.

WEEKLY INTERVIEW

KEYS QUEEN OF HEARTS

Kristen Livengood Candidate for Fantasy Fest Queen

L

ike a true Queen, Kristen Livengood takes her bloodlines seriously. Born and raised in the Keys, no one is more determined, more tenacious or more vivacious campaigning for “Queen” of this year’s Fantasy Fest and giving back to her community. Just 32, Livengood has already established her reign in the Keys as a feature writer extraordinaire for The Keys Weekly Newspapers. She helps give locals a voice from Key West to Key Largo making the newspapers locally grown and loved. Even the king of all media, The New York Times, has printed four of her features putting her in the big leagues — but she is still a small town girl at heart.

“Keyswide, AIDS Help gives around 400 people some sort of assistance like medicine, housing, prevention, awareness and more,” said Livengood. “If I can show my daughters that everyone can do something a little bigger than themselves for the good of their community, then I’m doing something right.”

Supported by her husband Travis, “the most understanding husband in the whole wide world,” and her two daughters, Summer, 9, and Marina, 5, Livengood shows all of us the beauty of our community inside and out — whether it be on the water boating and spearfishing, on writing about our unique residents or raising awareness for those in need, her energy and sense of adventure is limitless.

Livengood is also a two-time “That’s What She Shot” spearfishing tournament winner, a Take Stock In Children mentor, is presently in Leadership Monroe and proudly claims she was dead last in 2014’s 7 Mile Bridge Run. Donate to AIDS Help and Livengood’s campaign before coronation on Friday, Oct. 21 at ahmonroe.org.

Queen ML, she has been a wealth of information this candidacy and has become a good friend in the process, and Queen Jodyrae Campbell, for her encouragement and kind words.

7. What’s your funniest Keys story?

I told someone that one day I want to sail around the world shooting fish and catching lobster. He said I should get a cat because they are more stable.

I said, “but a dog has four legs, too.”

Then I realized he was talking about a catamaran.

8. Which super hero character is your spirit animal? Michelle Maxwell.

A big cup of class with a sidecar of sarcasm and a cape made of terry cloth adorning a monkey.

9. What is your nerdiest passion? Ha, Pokémon Go. It’s the only time I go to the “gym.” Team Valor – woot! Three months ago, I had no idea what a Pikachu was, now I am well versed in Poké lingo. To think I downloaded the app to play with my kids.

10. If you could take one item on a deserted island, what? why? I watch a lot of “Naked and Afraid,” I don’t need anything to survive in the wild, including clothes.

11. If invisible what would you do?

Use the restroom in peace without two little girls barging in, EVERY SINGLE TIME, asking me random questions like “will you get me some milk.” Kid, that can’t wait 45 seconds?

12. What was your first thought this morning?

I need a nap.

13. Favorite guilty pleasure? Having someone come clean my house and letting my husband think I did it and I’m super woman. I have to ask her, please don’t make the beds, he’ll know it wasn’t me. Yes, babe, I can do it all.

Stop world hunger – is this answer middle-aged Miss America enough?

Finish these sentences...

16. Don’t drink the water here…drink alcohol instead, upstairs at The Bull, while hula hooping, naked. This is how people get pregnant.

17. My autobiography would be titled… The Exhausting Life of Kristen.

18. At the end of a rainbow there is… November. November, as my husband calls it.

BREAST TECH

Prescription may be required

M

ammograms are scary.

The potential lifealtering threat of breast cancer causes anxiety for every woman, sometimes even paralyzing them into not getting tested. But the excuses are running out when the options keep expanding.

• MAMMOGRAPHY During a routine annual visit for women, when no symptoms are present, doctors usually prescribe a traditional 2-D mammogram. It’s a highly advanced technology and captures overlapping breast tissues in the image. The process usually takes about 15 minutes.

In 2012, Fishermen’s Hospital in Marathon installed a new digital mammography unit. The special salon has added capabilities.

“When we are doing diagnostic mammograms, we can do as many scans as are needed and also use ultrasound if we suspect there’s an abnormality,” said Larry Wise, radiology manager at the Middle Keys hospital. “We also have ability to do biopsies at the same point in time.”

During the month of October, the hospital runs a $99 special that includes both the scan and the radiologist’s fee. Fishermen’s Hospital, the technician and the equipment under goes rigorous testing.

“Any place that does mammography has to be FDA approved and there is an annual inspection of the record keeping, reporting, and communication with patients. I’m very happy to say the last two years, maybe three, we’ve had zero ‘findings,’” Wise said. “We run a good program.”

• ULTRASOUND Both Keys hospitals offer ultrasound mammograms, but there’s a new service available to Keys women. Called HerScan, it’s a national company that performs ultrasounds in Florida, Georgia, Texas and Colorado. The service is mobile, women make appointments online, and the service is typically set up

This is the new mammogram control booth at Mariners Hospital.

in a brand-name hotel or resort. (On a recent visit to Marathon, HerScan set up at the Holiday Inn Express in a private space dedicated to the testing.)

Because the services are scheduled when sufficient interest has generated multiple appointments, and there’s not a big overhead cost, HerScan charges only $195 per test which includes radiology analysis. HerScan does not require a prescription, and it does not accept insurance.

There are many reasons why women would choose an ultrasound over a mammogram. There is no discomfort, no radiation and is safe for women with breast implants.

“Many women with implants are afraid they will break during a regular 2-D mammogram, and many facilities require women to sign waivers saying they won’t hold the hospital liable,” said Toni O’Neill, public relations manager for HerScan.

Although the ultrasound is usually a secondary test, administered after a regular 2-D mammogram, it has certain advantages over a 2-D mammogram. The ultrasound technology can “see” all the way to the breast wall (around breast implants, if present).

And HerScan ultrasounds also examine the area of the axilla, or armpit, for potentially abnormal lymph nodes.

• TOMOSYNTHESIS (3D) The latest and greatest in boob science, though, is the 3-D mammogram available at both the Lower Keys Medical Center and Mariners Hospital.

Traditional mammograms only take a

single photo of the breast but the FDA approved 3D imagery takes multiple images recreating the full image of the breast. These x rays are “slices” of the breast that doctors can analyze from multiple angles determining such things as abnormal calcifications, a discreet mass, or architectural distortions.

The imagery reduces the number of women “called back” for further exams or biopsies when an image isn’t clearly identifiable, especially common for women with “dense” breasts.

“Studies have shown that cancer detection has gone up from anywhere from three to 10 percent with 3D,” said LKMC’s Dr. Sandy Schultz, “I am very excited because the most difficult cases to read are subtle, more normal mammograms.”

Mariners Hospital’s JC Holmes, director of imaging services, likens the 3-D mammogram slice technology to “turning the pages of a book.” Holmes said the patient’s experience is similar to a regular, or 2-D, mammogram, where the breast is compressed between plates.

“The 3-D imaging process is very similar to that of a traditional 2-D mammogram and takes only seconds longer,” said Holmes, who added that the hospital recently renovated its mammography suite to accommodate the new equipment as well as a separate women’s waiting area.

— Sara Matthis, Hays Blinckmann and Theresa Java contributed to this Keys Weekly report.

WHAT ARE ‘DENSE’ bREASTS? Most commonly found in women in their 30s or younger, dense breasts essentially mean firm tissue. As women age, their breasts contain more fatty tissue than dense tissue. Women with dense breasts know who they are, as they usually require an ultrasound or 3-D mammography.

CONTINUITY MATTERS It’s not enough to just get a mammogram; women are encouraged to also bring previous test results (or approve their release) if they switch facilities. Calcifications within the breast are monitored from year to year to make sure there are no changes over time, increasing your rate for detecting cancer or decreasing your chance of a false positive. The American Medical Association recommends an annual mammogram for women 40 and older.

Thurber exhibit opens this weekend

ndy Thurber, the Key West born and bred artist known for his pitch-perfect, slice-oflife paintings that depict the humble island beach town he watched turn into an international vacation destination, will open “Sand in My Shoes,” an exhibit of new work, at 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 at The Gallery on Greene in Key West.

“I depict Conch life. My work honors the Conch culture, the people, the lifestyle,” Thurber said. “That’s what I do.”

This marks Thurber’s 15th annual October show, which coincides with the second day of the Bahama Village Goombay Festival.

Thurber works plein air – he paints his subjects up close and personal on the streets and docks of Key West with a four-hour deadline. “I just go into the boatyards on Stock Island. I jump the fences back there with the Cubans and paint,” Thurber said. “That’s where it’s at. That’s the last Key West – Stock Island. I love it back there.”
