HISTORY HINGES ON A HURRICANE

S

ometimes sons listen to their fathers. If Juan Menendez had listened to his father, Florida history might have been written a little differently.

As it so happened, however, Pedro Menendez de Aviles/ General Juan Contributed Menendez was placed in charge of the 1563 New Spain fleet’s capitana La Concepcion. His father is recorded as saying, “In the whole month of July you can come out of the Bahama Channel, but do not sail after the first of August because of the great hurricanes.” The 500-ton galleon La Concepcion led the fleet out of Havana Harbor on Aug. 15.

The weather was clear, at first. By the early days of September, things began to change. Hurricane conditions engulfed the fleet. La Concepcion, as well as the merchant ship El Angel Bueno, was reported lost at sea on Sept. 10. The ships were never seen again.

When word reached Spain, loved ones were understandably distressed. Juan’s father, General Pedro Menendez de Aviles, wanted to go look for his lost son. When Spain’s King Phillip II learned of a French fortification established on Spanish Florida’s east coast, he needed a military force to deal with the French incursion. Pedro Menendez agreed to take on the French for the King with the stipulation that he would be able to use Spanish resources to go and look for his son afterward.

With 800 soldiers and settlers under his command, Menendez set a course for the New World in May 1565. The Spanish coast of Florida would be sighted on Aug. 28, the Feast Day of St. Augustine. On Sept. 8, Menendez and his men established an outpost and declared it St. Augustine — now considered the oldest continually occupied European city in North America.

Having defeated the French and captured Fort Caroline, Menendez sailed south in search of his missing son. He never found his son, but did come upon another missing boy.

While exploring the waters south of Marco Island, around the Ten Thousand Islands area, in 1566, Menendez sighted a canoe with Hernando D’Escalante Fontaneda inside. Fontaneda, who had survived a shipwreck and washed up on to the Florida Keys, had been living with the Calusa Indians for 17 years. Menendez, too, would become the first person to record the place name Matecumbe in a letter written to the King of Spain. The year was 1573. As for La Concepcion and El Angel Bueno, the 450-year-old mystery may be solved some time soon, but that is a different Florida Keys story.

WEEKLY INTERVIEW

KEY WEST WEEKLY / OCTOBER 11, 2018

KRISTEN LIVENGOOD kristen@keysweekly.com

‘WE FELT THE NEED TO GIVE BACK’ YOUNGBERG, THANKFUL FOR HELP, RETURNS THE FAVOR

S

uzi Youngberg is too sweet.

Sweet like the blackberries she remembers picking with her grandmother when she was growing up in rural Georgia. She later had a lucrative career in corporate sales and spent a lot of time on the road even after moving to the Keys in 1997. That was until her husband, Scott, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that meant six months of treatment in Boston.

“We were looking at bankruptcy,” she said. “This town really came together and helped us raise money.”

But it still wasn’t enough. That’s when Suzi made the phone call to the American Cancer Society. “It’s a number I give to anyone who has the ‘C’ word in their life.”

From there, the two of them moved into American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge in Boston. “It’s basically like the Ronald McDonald House for adults,” she said. “It was the most healing, peaceful experience of my life, and I vowed at that moment I would spend the rest of my life raising money for American Cancer Society.”

Once Scott was cleared and the two were back in the Keys, she quit her traveling job and set her roots into the community. As a member of Upper Keys BPW, “I’ve met more people and made more friends in the last two years than I did the first 18 years we lived down here,” she said.

That’s when she saw something on Facebook about the upcoming Relay for Life walk. She and Scott asked what they could do to help out. Fast forward a few years, and Suzi is now the society’s Community Development Manager for the Florida Keys. “We were just given so much help, we felt the need to give back,” she said.

Her typical day now consists of committee meetings, chamber meetings, recruiting teams, and seeking sponsorships for Making Strides walk, Relay for Life, and the Diamond Gala.

“All the traveling I did before, traveling up and down the Keys is nothing,” she said.

So, we wanted to know about Suzi, who also is currently nominated for Woman of the Year. The winner will be announced at the Upper Keys BPW political forum on Oct. 17 at Whale Harbor in Islamorada.

How did you end up with American Cancer Society? I was tired of traveling after spending 20 years living in a hotel room — and knowing I might lose my husband, I knew I needed more together time with him and at home in my community.

One fun fact about you? I love my cat SugarBear like my child. He rescued us back in 2013. He walks on a leash, travels everywhere with us, including Colorado a few summers ago. People around our community know the big white cat on a leash … he even goes to Bill’s Liquor and a few other bars.

What’s the most rewarding project you’ve worked on? I love raising money for the American Cancer Society. I believe strongly in the mission.

What does success look like?

Being happy with what I have and where I am in life.

Proudest achievement? When I first started dating my husband, I gave him a “love poem” that a few days later turned into a song.

It was such a thrill! We have since written several songs together, and my younger brother who is also a musician and I have also collaborated on a song. We have a “Caribbean Soul” and when I have time, I write on Suzi’s World (www. suzisworld.com).

Dream meal: you are sitting at a diner counter eating… who walks in and sits next to you, what are you ordering? My favorite meal is bread, cheese and wine.

And I can make conversation with anyone who happens to sit down next to me.

Favorite Keysy thing to do? I love being out on the water. I miss spending the night out and waking up on the Florida Bay. What would your superpower be? Always wished I could fly.

Best piece of advice you ever received? Be happy.

What is your nerdiest passion?

I’m a sci-fi nerd — “Star Trek,” “Star Wars,” even a little “Dr. Who.” What was your first thought this morning? I have to get these questions answered for Kristen.

And, I have an event in four days, YIKES! Favorite guilty pleasure? When I traveled for a living, I was in different towns every night, and Outback was one of my favorite dinner spots because it felt familiar. When I am in Key West and have extra time, I often go in the Outback for their seared tuna; people look at me funny when I say I went to Key West and got tuna from Outback.

If you won the lottery, what’s the first thing you do/buy? Take care of my parents! My mom has Parkinson’s and Daddy is her caretaker, so I would love to have lots of money to put them in a fabulous place to have her taken care of and let him travel and enjoy himself.

If you could change the world, what would you do? More love, less hate. I wish people would be kinder and think about their words and actions and how the effect others. Yes, it’s a cliché, but I always wish for world peace.

What did you want to be when you grew up? A writer. The great American novel is on my bucket list.

We heard you can sell anything; what’s the craziest thing you sold? Anyone need size 15 men’s pink Converse?

Finish these sentences…

Scott, my husband, would describe me as… Loving, quirky, messy, and, lately, very distracted.

He is very patient when I have an event looming and get a little crazy!

My autobiography would be titled… “The World According to Suzi.”

I live by the motto…

Money isn’t everything; find happiness and be nice.

Last question: What’s a “Booby” drink? Gilberts donates the proceeds from all the pink frozen “booby” drinks to American Cancer Society.

The Real Men Wear Pink “Pink Bra Party” takes place in the Upper Keys at Gilberts on Sunday, Oct. 21.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk will take place in Key West on Saturday, Oct. 13 at Key West Amphitheater; with registration at 8 a.m., teams can still sign up. Relay for Life will take place in Marathon in May. This year’s theme is “Younite” and Suzi Youngberg hopes to unite the Keys by having bigger all-inclusive events.

ARLO HASKELL REMEMBERS DAVID WOLKOWSKY: What I admired most about David was his sense of style — not just his eye for architecture, vintage cars, and straightforward, elegant clothes, but the way he moved through the world, who he was and how he dealt with people. He was funny and sly, and everything was off to one side a little bit. You couldn’t always be sure, right away, if he was joking or telling it straight, or even whether or not you’d heard him right (because no one talked like David), but you never forgot what he said.

WHAT HAPPENS IN

By Frank Greenman & Sara Matthis

n a little more than five years, new development will come to a grinding halt in the Florida Keys. At least, that is what the State of Florida has decreed for the islands it has designated an “Area of Critical Concern.” Beginning in 2023, it will no longer issue NEW building permits for Keys municipalities.

None. Zilch. Zip. Nada. If this comes to pass, what happens next? Will landowners sue because the state (and local governments) are gutting the value of their investment by preventing them from building their dream home on their vacant lot? Will that raise taxes?

What will happen to real estate values?

Will builders be out of business? The ramifications are wide and far-reaching. The future starts now.

— Frank Greenman is a retired general land use attorney living in the Florida Keys.

He practiced for 38 years, as well as was one of the first councilmen elected to the City of Marathon, established in 1999.

Sara Matthis is the editor of the Weekly Newspapers.

#1 How we got to this point (Sept. 27, 2018) #2 The hurricane evacuation model’s influence on development (Oct. 4, 2018) #3 What the “takings” lawsuit might look like (Oct. 11, 2018) #4 Options to detour chaos (Oct. 18, 2018) #5 In conclusion … (Oct. 25, 2018)

hen Keys residents and officials talk about what will happen in 2023, when the state stops new development in the Florida Keys, the words most often heard in the next breath are “takings lawsuit.”

What does that mean? Well, most are more familiar with eminent domain. Eminent domain is when the government wants to take a citizen’s property. A takings case is when a property owner says the government is doing the taking.

Both the U.S. and Florida constitutions prohibit the government from “taking” private property without just compensation. However, the definitions of a “taking” and “just compensation” are determined by the government doing the taking. For instance, in order to be eligible for just compensation, the government must have taken “all beneficial use” of the property. All Keys governments have a “beneficial use” procedure clause on the books.

That means if Joe Keys Property Owner doesn’t have a building permit in hand by 2023, he will not prevail in a takings lawsuit because he can still collect a rental fee to keep bee hives on his property, or watch the sunset from a deck chair, or even build a garage for his RV — the bees, the sunset, or the garage can qualify as “beneficial use.” Or, as the legal battle shapes up in advance of the 2023 deadline, Jill Keys Property Owner will NOT be allowed to build her dream, market rate, five-bedroom mansion, but instead will receive the “beneficial use” of the right to build a deed-restricted affordable house. The legal reasoning is that any beneficial use granted prevents the government from having to pay just compensation. This is the rationale that Monroe County is currently using. (See sidebar.)

MONROE COUNTY

KEY WEST WEEKLY / OCTOBER 11, 2018

The Rock & The Hard Place: Competing Policies Monroe County and local municipalities are stuck between two competing policies — the need to build more affordable housing, and the need to protect the taxpayer from expensive takings lawsuits.

“The position of the county attorney’s office is that each affordable housing allocation has a value for resolving a potential takings claim. We have made the recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners that they should distribute these allocations judiciously with that in mind,” said County Attorney Bob Shillinger, referring to the discussion of “beneficial use” in the main body of this article.

The issue is further complicated by the fact that some entities, such as the county, have many affordable building rights stockpiled that could be of use, for example, for a development in the Village of Islamorada. Once upon a time it was a fairly simple process for the county to transfer these rights to a city simply by asking; now, not so much, because of the “exposure” concept that has everything to do with finances.

“Think of it as a Monopoly board with all the little green houses,” Shillinger said. “If you put all the houses on the Baltic and Mediterranean properties, and none on Boardwalk, and Park Place, then all of those are vulnerable to takings cases.”

In other words, taking 70 affordable housing rights and clustering them on two large pieces of property potentially leaves 68 other lots “exposed” when it comes to takings lawsuits. But because of the very nature of building affordable housing developments — shared walls, driveways and pools and other economies of scale — it’s often financially necessary to build with high densities.

So while it may seem like a nobrainer to issue as many affordable housing building allocations as soon as possible to address the housing crisis in the Florida Keys, there is a also a reason to hold on to them — or as some say, “hoard” — to protect against future takings lawsuits wherein a property owner could theoretically be legally appeased with an affordable housing right deemed “beneficial use.”

But will that rationale stand up in court? The takings lawsuit can only go one of two ways: the government prevails and the property owner is deprived of his or her building rights; or the property owner prevails and either receives a settlement (compensation), or the right to build.

Key West attorney David Paul Horan started his career in the Keys back in the 1970s as a Monroe County assistant attorney. He said he was so vocal about how much authority Monroe County was turning over to the state, in matters of the Area of Critical Concern and Rate of Growth Ordinance, that his position was “eliminated.” Horan was promptly hired by the City of Key West to continue the same fight.

“This is what I was saying was going to happen if we continued down this path.

When we ran out of building right allocations on property people have been paying taxes on for all this time, we were going to face takings lawsuits,” Horan said. “And that’s what it ended up being. I told everyone, ‘You are signing checks that our grandchildren will not be able to cash. Ultimately, you are going to have to tell all these people you screwed up, you trusted us, and you’re not going to be able to use this property. It was an implicit promise, but we were fibbing to you, and we are not able to protect you.’”

Monroe County Attorney Bob Shillinger and other municipal attorneys and planning directors in the Keys say not every person who has a vacant lot in the Keys is eligible to take part in, or benefit from, a takings lawsuit. For example, a property owner in possession of wetlands should have no reasonable expectations of building a home there.

“Not every owner of a vacant lot that doesn’t get a (building permit) will have a takings claim. It’s a very factintensive process that involves the investment-backed expectations and efforts of the owner,” Shillinger said. For example, a property owner who has at one time or another applied for a building permit would be in better settlement position than one who

never applied. “But the individual calculation sometimes depends on factors that are not knowable to us. The property owner could have expenditures on an architect or engineers, and the county would know nothing about it,” Shillinger said.

If takings lawsuits came to pass in the Keys, whom would local property owners be suing?

Would “Jill and Joe” sue the City of Marathon for the inability to build on a lot on Grassy Key located within the town limits because the state has told the city not to issue any more permits? Would Jill and Joe sue Monroe County for agreeing to pass restrictive growth management measures mandated by the state? Or would property owners sue the State of Florida for imposing the Area of Critical Concern and the Rate of Growth ordinance in the first place? It will be a combination of all three, most likely.

Monroe County’s position on who is responsible is crystal clear.

“The state, because they imposed the restrictions,” said Shillinger. “They are going to be jointly, if not exclusively, liable.”

The county attorney said that theory will be tested in the next couple of years as the 2023 deadline approaches. Or sooner, as the mid-term elections in November will see a new set of leaders elected to office in Tallahassee.

“How solid will their commitment be? And there could be litigation where the county sues the state for additional funds. We hope it doesn’t come to that.”

Horan said the arguments could encompass the constitutionality of the original agreement.

“When the Monroe County Commission was passing all the rules and regulations that the state Department of Community Affairs wanted them to pass, my advice was don’t do it,” he said, referring to the state Department of Economic Opportunity’s predecessor, in charge of development

15

in the Keys. “I told them, ‘Let the state do it’ because otherwise the county is the ‘taking’ agency. The argument that the DCA made us do that won’t hold because the counter-argument is that the DCA can’t make the county do something unconstitutional. I’ve filed pleadings like that before.”

But, back in 1992, the state wasn’t going to allow any permits at all until Monroe County developed its new land use laws.

There’s one more very expensive fact to consider. Even if the state is found liable — it loses the court takings case — the state has no legal obligation to pay. Just as the legislature cannot tell a judge how to rule, the courts cannot tell the legislature to fund a claim. The concept of separation of powers prevents the courts, where the taking claims will be determined, from ordering the legislative branch to pay. There’s an exception to this rule; a settlement in the amount of $250,000 or less is automatically paid in Florida. But when the amount is higher than that, it requires a special act of the state legislature. There are probably thousands of those cases that have been filed, but never funded, or paid. A good example of that is the citrus canker case involving 84,000 households in Broward and Palm Beach who will split $42 million. In 2008, they won the class-action lawsuit, but they waited another decade before the state funded the settlement.

The attorney fees in eminent domain or takings case are often as high as the value of the property being fought over — hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is the government’s “disincentive” for these types of lawsuits.

How many vacant lots are left in the Keys and what is their value? Using the high side of the equation, there could be as many as 10,000 buildable lots left in the Florida Keys. In 2018, the average lot cost is $200,000. The value of the buildable lots, then, is about $2 billion in 2018. At least that’s the value of the property five years before the state has told the Keys there will be no more new development.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER Hawk mania in the Keys Oct. 12 & 13 HAYS BLINCKMANN hays@keysweekly.com

L

ook up. No, it’s not a plane, and no, not superman either, but it is a bird. Actually the fastest bird on the planet, a peregrine falcon, and they are flooding the skies this month on their migration south. And birders — yes the people wearing sensible hats, cameras and binoculars — are excited, with very good reason.

According to Mark Hedden, executive director of the Florida Keys Audubon Society, some 4,500 peregrine falcons fly through here annually, especially in October, along with a dozen other species like eagles, kites, falcons and the short-tailed hawk, of which there are only 500 left in North America. There is a whole different world going on just above Key West and it would make even Sir David Attenborough marvel.

This weekend, Oct. 12 and 13, the Florida Keys Audubon Society will hold its fourth annual Hawk Mania event.

Special guests include raptor experts Rafael Galvez, director of the Florida Keys Hawkwatch, and Jeff Bouton, manager of birding and nature markets at Leica Sport Optics, who will speak at the Key West Garden Club

Friday at 6:30 p.m. Both experts have worldwide birding experience. Saturday features an all-day hawk watch led

by Galvez, Bouton and Hedden, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, along with other events.

Beach chair, utility vest and extremely long camera lens are not included.

“Hawks are great for lazy people.

They don’t get up too early,” said Hedden, who can easily spot falcons resting on the highest towers in Key West. They stop briefly before riding a thermal, an upward current of hot air, that they use to glide down North America on their way to places like Cuba and Argentina. Thermals allow them to conserve energy and go the long distance.

Peregrines are also the fastest in all the animal kingdom, with a top speed of Curry Hammock State Park more than 200 mph — Hosts Florida Keys Hawkwatch one has been clocked Daily 8 a.m. to closing at 242 mph. The size of

a crow with black-brownish wings, head and a fluffy spotted white chest, the bird usually looks like a misshapen bump on a cell tower.

Once on the endangered species list back in the ‘70s, they recovered after DDT was banned. Peregrines migrate all over the world and survive on a healthy diet of other birds ... gross but fascinating all the same.

“Drives me crazy that people miss this,” said Hedden, who easily converts people when they spot their first falcon. “Just takes one to be a birder. Then you’re trying on the vest and a sensible hat; you try and keep them in the closet, but it’s a scary slope.”

Never-before-seen-in-Keys red algal bloom discovered in canal SARA MATTHIS

sara@keysweekly.com

T

om Frankovich was taking a break from putting together a report on THAT red tide, out stretching his legs, when a Key Largo man pulled up in front of the office. Sergio Matos told Frankovich, a Florida International University scientist, about something oddlooking in the canal. That’s when Frankovich found THIS red tide: Fibrocapsa japonica.

Fibrocapsa japonica has been associated with fish kills in southeast Asia and illness of seals in the North Sea. The Karenia brevis species is the one causing all of the havoc on the west, and now east coasts of Florida. There is no cause for alarm in the Keys, Frankovich said.

“This particular algae is a natural part of the environment and often forms harmless blooms with no noticeable effects on marine life, but it has the potential to cause fish kills if it persists for long time periods,” he said.

The find is distinctive just because it’s the first time it’s been found in the Keys.

The water sample was taken from a canal in the Pirate’s Cove subdivision of Key Largo. For months, agents of the Fish and Wildlife Commission have been testing Keys waters for the harmful algal bloom, the Karenia brevis, and found nothing. But earlier this week scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced they believed the red tide bypassed the Keys on the Gulf of Mexico loop current — shooting between the Marquesas and Dry Tortugas.

The Karenia brevis occurs exclusively in the Gulf of Mexico, a natural phenomenon that has been documented as far back as the 19th century.

It forms offshore and can be pushed by wind and current to nearshore waters. If nearshore waters are nutrient-rich, the condition worsens.

It is rare, but not unheard of, for there to be a Kareniabrevis bloom on the east coast of Florida. There have been eight blooms on the east coast since the 1950s.

“This is consistent with the belief that some of this algae bloom gets entrained in the loop current and shoots up the east coast,” said Frankovich. He said it wasn’t surprising that the red tide showed in Palm Beach County first. “That’s where the Gulf Stream is closest to shore and where it’s likely any transfer would occur.”

Samples are at the lab to determine level of white fly infestation

R

emember the whitefly? Well, it’s back, but not at the same levels the Keys experienced in 2013-14.

The Rugose Spiraling Whitefly likes the gumbo limbo, palms and avocado trees in the Keys. It feeds on the trees and excretes a sticky “honeydew” which, in turn, promotes the growth of a sooty black mold.

“A couple of years ago, you couldn’t walk across the Publix parking lot. Your shoes stuck to the pavement,” said Marathon Garden Club’s Judy Shaw, who is a master gardener.

Reports of the whitefly have been trickling into the Monroe County Extension Office, operated in concert with the University of Florida. So far, the office has received about a dozen calls, some from homeowners, others from pest control companies.

The whitefly in the Keys are considered more of a nuisance than anything else, quickly knocked down by naturally occurring parasites, or a good dousing with the garden hose.

“From my observations, there seemed to be a promising number of parasitoids in each of the samples taken, but I am not the expert,” said Michelle Leonard-Mularz, environmental horticulture agent with the extension service. “I’m waiting to hear back from the entomologist working on analyzing the samples before making any management recommendations.”

The flies are tiny, resembling a big mote of dust. The wingspan is about 3 millimeters — smaller than the size of two fleas nose to nose. Like the rest of the animal kingdom, the whitefly is subject to the rollercoaster of prey and predator to maintain a natural balance. In the case of the whitefly, the predator is even tinier: a wasp that is barely visible to the naked eye.

“I used a magnifying glass, and it still looked like a blue-ish, black speck,” said Shaw.

For now, the best course of action is to leave the tree, whiteflies, and wasps alone and let nature do its work. If control is warranted, use the least toxic approach first, so as not to harm the beneficial insects feeding on the whitefly. “Indiscriminant spraying of contact insecticides would also kill the beneficial parasitoids feeding on the whitefly,” said Leonard-Mularz.

“All of the wind and rain we had this week might take care of it,” said Shaw.

This particular whitefly was first discovered in Florida in 2009, and thought to have originated in Belize.

2. Comcast is shy and playing “hard-to-get.”

3. Cable cares as far south as Miami, then it stops giving a shit.

4. It’s just a reminder that when we’re watching TV with our families, we should take a moment to stop staring at our TVs so we can stare at our phones.

5. Old data transmission fluid in the broadband capacitor.

6. Someone at Comcast forgot to pay the AT&T bill.

7. It all starts with Jordan Smith of Broadwave and a large pair of scissors.

8. A kink in the fiber optic cable.

9. Somewhere deep in Comcast’s Philadelphia headquarters, there is a light switch that appears to do nothing. Jenny in accounting keeps flipping it on and off — unaware of the chaos she is causing in the Keys.

THE NEW MAYOR MUST BE ABLE TO BUILD CONSENSUS; NAMELY, GARNER 3 OTHER VOTES ON THE COMMISSION Look at the voting records of each Candidate. Specifically, when was each the only ‘outcast’ vote? When did each pull items off of the Consent Agenda, and then vote “Yes” anyway? The Commission is a Parliamentary body, and it has new faces to be fairly dealt with.

WITH A BUDGET OF OVER $180 MILLION, WHO HAS THE STRONGER RESUME’ AND THE OPEN-MINDEDNESS TO ADMIT WHEN THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND WHEN THEY DON’T? Not everyone is an expert on all issues. Therefore, who among the Candidates has both of the following: 1) The stronger Resume’, and 2) Has demonstrated the willingness and ability to locate and engage the advice of resources that have the best solutions to the problems whose solutions are not very obvious?

until oct 18th

WHO IS PART OF THE PROBLEM, AND WHO IS PART OF THE SOLUTION? In most instances, most agree on what the problem is. Differences flare up on how to solve a given problem. Which Candidate has the best track record for brokering successful solutions between competing interests?

CHARISMA AND PRESENCE Our next Mayor will represent Key West to the World. The traits of honesty, integrity, fairness, evenness of temper, punctuality, and decorum are expected and need to be met. A less-discussed trait is to “under-promise and over-deliver”; which goes hand-in-hand with honesty.

Which Candidate will embrace these traits to best represent the People of Key West?

Those issues covered, Maura and I brainstormed on which groups of people may be hesitant to vote for Teri, since our Endorsement would have more impact if we could connect with such groups. We zeroed-in on the very potent groups of Young Voters and Environmental Voters. This is what we would say to those Voters: “Maura and I have spoken to Teri about our hobby of underwater macro photography, where the smallest of reef dwellers create the building blocks of an entire Ecosystem. We have spoken to Teri (and anyone who has heard me on the Pirate Morning Radio Show) about our Environment, and specifically about the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant-which I find deficient in lieu of its proximity to our tender and crucial Ecosystem. To the Young Voters and People who understand the Treasure of our Environment: The next Mayor of Key West absolutely needs to be a Problem-Solver, and not someone who plays on the suspicions of our Citizens. We have had enough of that garbage in Washington, and we don’t need it here in Key West. For the reasons and reasoning stated herein, we wholeheartedly Endorse Teri Johnston for Key West Mayor.”

Signed, Maura & Danny Hughes

CAUSE FOR CONCERN

County approves $3 million Army Corps sea level study KATIE ATKINS

katie@keysweekly.com

R

ising sea levels in the Florida Keys could undoubtedly affect the future of the islands, which is why the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is about to embark on a three-year, $3 million study.

The federally funded study is a continuation of the county’s efforts through a plan called GreenKeys, which has been following sea level rise in the Keys since 2013.

“We’re seeing predicted king tide levels exceeded by three quarters to one foot,” said GreenKeys consultant Erin Deady, at the Sept. 19 Board of County Commissioners meeting in Key Largo. She was referring to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s king tide predictions. “We know these conditions will persist with sea level rise.”

Commissioners approved the Army Corps of Engineers study after Susan Conner, chief of planning for the Army Corps’ Norfolk District, gave a presentation.

She said the goal of the study, which can end at any time at the county’s request, is to identify better elevation data and vulnerable parts of U.S. 1 using some of the GreenKeys data that’s already been collected.

“We think this will provide some good weight with the Department of Transportation should there be projects with a cost share down the line,” said Rhonda Haag, county sustainability coordinator, meaning the study results could back up federal funding needs in the future.

“We can help identify where the gaps are and look at places where there is federal interest in partnering on future projects,” Conner said.

According to the Army Corps of Engineers website, observed climate change has affected and will continue to affect its missions and operations.

“Prompted by Hurricane Katrina in the mid 2000s, USACE refocused on land subsidence and changing sea levels.

Around this same time, USACE began to feel the impacts of altered mountain snowpack and subsequent runoff patterns that impact floods and droughts,” it says.

••••• In other federal money matters, of the $39 million in Hurricane Irma recovery projects submitted by the county to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, $2.2 million has been received. Another $4.8 million has been “obligated,” or approved, for the county to receive, Haag said.

103.61 tons of trash is roughly equal to 70 Mini Cooper cars.

Eighteen Mini Coopers fit on a semi-truck. That’s a lot of trash out of local nearshore waters.

Conch Republic Marine Army members help spread the good word about the battles. Seen here are founder Brian Vest and volunteers Warren Clary, Laura Talley, and Kendall Klay. KRISTEN LIVENGOOD/Keys Weekly

M

ore than 2,000 different people have signed waivers with Conch Republic Marine Army and have helped clean nearshore waters of debris. Car parts, refrigerators, lawn mowers, paint cans, RoundUp — it’s all been pulled out by the community army armed with kayaks, scuba tanks, snorkels and rope cutters.

It started on Dec. 30, 2017, when a concerned citizen knew someone was going to clean the canals and clean the roadways: But who was going to get the mattresses and the hot tub and all the other debris that washed across the street to the shorelines?

Conch Republic Marine Army founder Brian Vest reached out and 25 people showed up and pulled 8,000 pounds the first day. “We didn’t even make a dent,” he said. The next time he did the cleanup, 150 people showed up. “We aren’t done.”

Now, 103.61 tons later, the army is the force to be reckoned with. “You don’t need to join us, you are already a part of us,” said Vest. “It’s a big ‘we,’ the army.”

Vest says the biggest problem is scale.

When 100 people show up to clean up, it’s a big difference from 10 people. The need for scale is about having enough people to make a real impact. He expects more than 100 people at this weekend’s battle.

Vest, who was semi-retired at the time Hurricane Irma hit, now has zero free time since commanding the Conch Republic Marine Army. Fellow army members helped form a nonprofit and started raising money for the organization. “This is something that will be around for a long, long time,” said Vest. “It was bad before Irma; Irma just made it worse.”

IT’S A BIG ‘WE’ CONCH REPUBLIC MARINE ARMY KEEPS GROWING, CLEANING

In the future, Vest sees the army being replicated across the country in coastal areas and has already been contacted by state agencies with Hurricane Michael closing in on Florida shorelines. In addition, he has his eye on a federal grant for marine related debris cleanup and has a ton of ideas up his sleeves to help the marine environment and advance the mission.

It all started with a little bit of spare time and a kayak, but recently with the donation of a new vessel for the fleet, Vest is happy to have a boat that is reliable. “Who really wants to put a refrigerator on their boat?” he said of the 72 refrigerators they have pulled out of the water. Now each new scratch the vessel takes on will be a battle scar worn proudly.

Although they have collected tons of trash, Vest said that it’s the type of pounds collected versus the number of pounds that

is important. At one point, the army had an entire dump truck filled with just plastics. “It’s the smaller items just under the surface, like the paint cans that sank to the ocean floor, that are the ticking time bombs,” he said.

The battles, a.k.a. cleanups, don’t happen every weekend, and Vest tries to position them around other nonprofit events to not interfere with their efforts. “There are still major issues in the community, people with no roofs still, suicide rates up, housing and other social issues, but I am going to keep trying to do something on the environmental side of it,” he said.

Now, he urges everyone from grandmas to grandkids and everyone in between to come out and join the army. “We are probably the most diverse group of people in the Keys,” he said. Members have sent photos in from Canada to your neighbors who now sport a CRMA tattoo. If you can’t physically participate, there are still ways to help, from cutting watermelon to buying a T-shirt at conchrepublicmarinearmy.com.

“When people started getting the CRMA tattoos, that’s when I knew we were making a difference,” he said of the seven known tattoos in the Lower Keys. “That’s when I knew we needed to take this extremely seriously.”

NICOLE MATYSIK SENIOR

What organizations and activities are you involved with at Key West High School and why are they important to you? Cross country, track, and running has been important to me because competing is my life and it has shaped all aspects of my life.

The Key West Weekly is proud to partner with Key West High School faculty and students in choosing “The Student of the Week.”

Recipients are chosen on qualifications including academic standing, athletics, outstanding achievements, community involvement, individuality and moral fortitude. We thank our future leaders and KWHS for allowing us to share in a weekly dose of “Conch Pride” and congratulate all of the outstanding students of the week.

Who has been your biggest inspiration at Key West High School and why? I’ve had a great support system with lots of amazing people, but I would have to say my brother. He’s a year older, so he always “paves the way.”

What class has best prepared you for life after high school? AP Language.

English is my favorite subject because I love to read. There is a decent workload, so time management is important and we cover many subjects.

What advice would you give to underclassmen? Work hard at what you do and what you are passionate about; let it consume you and never give up.

What is your favorite social medium, and whom do you follow? Instagram. I follow friends, family and professional runners.

What do you want to be remembered for at Key West High School? My running accomplishments and all the work I put into achieving them.

What three things do you want to accomplish before your 10-year high school reunion? How about just one: Olympic Gold Medal.

(And, a college degree…)

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

Key West will always be special to me and I will for sure visit often, but I don’t see myself living here permanently.

Finish this sentence: Living in the Keys has taught me… to be accepting and loving because amazing people come from all over the world and that’s why this island is so special.
