T

he tradition of Memorial Day dates to the ancient Greeks, who held public funeral processions for fallen soldiers after each battle. In 1868, Union General John A. Logan decreed May 30 “Decoration Day,” when flowers were to be laid on the graves of those that perished in the Civil War. Legend holds that Logan chose the date because it didn’t coincide with a battle anniversary and to ensure that flowers would be in full bloom. In 1971, President Lyndon Johnson rechristened the day “Memorial Day” and made it a federal holiday, moving the date to the last Monday in May. Johnson’s decision to change the date was a controversial one; veteran groups expressed concern that Americans would associate Memorial Day with a holiday weekend rather than a remembrance of soldiers who had lost their lives. So, we asked members of the Key West community:

How should we honor our fallen soldiers on Memorial Day? The most meaningful way that I have seen fallen soldiers commemorated is the installation “Blood Swept Lands” and “Seas of Red” by artist Paul Cummins, who flooded the moat surrounding the Tower of London with 888,246 individually crafted ceramic poppies, each representing a soldier who died in World War I. ... The dead are not faceless. ­— Sgt. Elise Wigle

I just got back from France and saw all of the cemeteries from World War II, and the American cemeteries with all the crosses.

I’d say just to celebrate that we’ve got great places like this, where we have the freedom to do what we want to.

— Ken Johnson

With complete respect. My brother was in Vietnam, my father was in World War II. I always reflect, today more than any other day. — Stephen Manuguerra

To take notice of what the day actually means and stop saying “Happy Memorial Day.” Fly a flag and let the fallen know that it meant and means something to die for this country. It’s a day of remembrance; if you’re going to a funeral, act like it. Mourn and respect with that idea in mind. Have a moment of silence. — Lee Fleet

We should always honor the fallen. During the Vietnam era, we had terrible issues in the military and soldiers were falling off left and right. It is important to remember, it is good to remember and that reflection should be carried on with the conflicts of today. — 1st Lt. Harvey Pesnell

Thank you to our sponsors & community organizations for your generous support

NUMBER OF THE WEEK

ON THE COVER

National Geographic reposted a climber’s photo showing hundreds waiting in line to summit Mount Everest earlier this week. Indian climber Anjali Kulkarni, 55, died on her way back from climbing to the summit of Mount Everest on Wednesday, her son Shantanu Kulkarni told CNN. She had become stuck in the "traffic jam" above camp four, which, at 8,000 meters (26,247 feet), is the final camp before the summit. At least 11 climbers have died on Everest this year, making this season one of the deadliest ever.

The Key West Peoples’ Choice Awards, aka, “The Bubbas” kick off June 7 with voting. Join us in choosing the best of the best.

n November 2018, Cecelia Mattino of Marathon challenged the City of Marathon’s decision to accept its share of former Gov. Rick Scott’s award of 1,300 additional affordable housing units in the Keys. Now, two other cases have been filed — Naja Girard against the City of Key West in March of 2019, and Catherine Bosworth against the Village of Islamorada in April of 2019.

Girard co-owns Key West The Newspaper (the “Blue Paper”). Bosworth is described as a former schoolteacher. Mattino’s petition said she is the mother and primary caretaker of her disabled daughter.

The administrative hearing will put the Keys’ No. 1 debate into focus — the affordable housing crisis versus hurricane evacuation. That’s not as weird as a pairing as might seem at first glance — the amount of development allowed in the Keys by the state is legally tied to the ability to evacuate tourists and

residents safely if a storm is approaching. The competing topics have roots in the economy, unfilled jobs, the environment and the ideal number of residents and amount of tourism the islands can support.

Accepting the additional affordable housing units — 300 per municipality — requires changes to the municipalities’ comprehensive plan and those changes are currently under review by the state Department of Economic Opportunity.

The challenges are being bundled into one hearing, presided over by an administrative law judge in Tallahassee. The hearing will take place in Marathon, but the exact date has not been determined, although likely in late July.

Naja Girard co-owns Key West The Newspaper (the “Blue Paper”). Catherine Bosworth is described as a former schoolteacher.

Cecelia Mattino’s petition said she is the mother and primary caretaker of her disabled daughter.

All three women make similar claims about the additional building rights: • Adverse effects from a two-phase early evacuation plan.

• Additional residents would overburden the Keys’ already–crowded roads.

• Contributing to a deteriorating quality of life as the Keys become more

WEEKLY INTERVIEW

KEY WEST WEEKLY / MAY 30, 2019

SARAH THOMAS

sthomas@keysweekly.com

GETTING BACK TO THE BASICS ACCIDENTAL ACTIVIST JULIE BROWN

J

ulie Brown has just about done it all, and she probably has a checked-off to-do list to prove it.

After getting her engineering degree from Georgia Tech, Brown worked for five years for FedEx, “essentially making things work more efficiently” (Thanks, Julie!). While her high-intensity job kept her in New York, she loved flying in the jumpseat on FedEx planes to the Florida Keys to visit a friend in Tavernier.

9/11 changed her relationship with travel — she could no longer ride jumpseat to avoid New York winters. On a trip to the Dominican Republic not long after, she said to herself: “You should live in a place like this and not vacation to it.”

That was in 2003. She devised her plan and started saving money. A year and a half later, Brown moved to Key West.

While the transition wasn’t always easy (she calls it “a bumpy landing”), Brown worked in many different roles: she’s managed guesthouses, like The Banyan; she’s tended bar at local hangouts like Grand Vin; she’s worked at Key West Theater and a dive shop. She also happens to run her own consulting business at the same time, Julie Brown Biz. What hasn’t fluctuated? Her dedication to the ocean and the earth. Brown is volunteer coordinator for Surfrider Foundation, a nonprofit that focuses on getting policy passed that benefits and protects our oceans. Surfrider is now working on a program to get restaurants to move toward getting rid of things like Styrofoam takeout containers and plastic products, certifying the restaurants “ocean friendly.”

“We care more about what happens to our reef than someone in Tallahassee,” she said. “It affects our daily life.” Brown is also cofounder of Green Drinks, an environmental happy hour in Key West (it’s a national concept) that meets monthly to discuss and educate about environmental issues. So if you want to learn more about how to save the precious place we call “home,” sidle up to Julie with a full cup and an open ear.

Full Name? Nickname? Julie Nicole Brown (nobody just calls me “Julie,” always “Julie Brown”). My niece started calling me Jugie as a little one, but since she’s nearly 12 now, she’s decided Juge (Jooj) is cooler.

Have you always had an interest in environmental activism?

I grew up outside of Nashville, Tennessee and I’ve always had a love for nature and animals and we always reduced, reused and recycled (mainly out of necessity).

I was taught to leave a place like I found it and to reduce my impact on my surroundings from a young age, but it wasn’t until I started diving in 1999 that my love for the ocean became heightened and my passion for saving it, and its critters, started to really grow and become a focus. I don’t really see it as activism — it just makes sense to get back to the basics and back to personal responsibility.

Do you have a life credo or motto? I often remind myself that “you teach what you allow” (I may have been accused of being rather outspoken so I use this as my excuse).

Where do you see similarities between wrangling volunteers and bar customers? I guess with both you’re sort of sizing up the person, finding their strengths and determining their desired level of

engagement, and looking for ways to heighten their experience as well as show them gratitude.

On what occasion do you lie?

When someone asks about my scars (see above).

What’s on your bucket list? Visiting India – mainly because a previous boyfriend told me I couldn’t handle it! But also because I feel like there is something there for me, and I know it would take me out of my comfort zone.

Favorite guilty pleasure? Twizzlers – I could eat an entire bag if allowed.

What is your idea of perfect happiness? I revel in my happiness most when I’m on the beach with a good book and nothing on the calendar for the day (except maybe Soundcheck).

Most important thing for people to keep in mind about our Keys environment? If we don’t protect it, who will? We have an opportunity to show every tourist that we care and are working to reduce our impact … they take this back to the “real world” with them and make changes to their lives and their neighborhoods. It’s really our duty as Islanders.

What is it that you most dislike?

People who think they’re better than someone else. One of the things I love most about this island is that you can find yourself chatting with the person who invented the paperclip, and you’d have no idea. I love seeing our One Human Family motto in action.

Which TV, movie or super hero character is your alter ego? I’d love to say I’m like Janis from The Muppets (“The Electric Mayhem”), but I can’t claim to be that carefree.

Funniest story tending bar in Key West? Not long after Hurricane Wilma I was tending bar and someone asked about the scar on my leg. I decided to have a little fun with it. … I told her that it was from a shark bite in a swimming pool after Wilma came through.

The high water must have washed the shark in. She was blown away and believed the entire story.

Name three things you could not live without. Sunshine, my bicycle and almonds (I always have some in my purse).

If invisible what would you do?

Freak people out by pouring liquids or making weird noises.

What talent would you secretly love to have? I’ve always wanted to play the guitar.

Lunch with one famous person, whom would you choose? Well, she’s only famous in my hometown but my grandmother, Lillian Johns. I never got to meet her and everyone speaks so highly of her. She also raised my amazing mother so I know she had to be equally amazing.

Finish these sentences..

My friends and family would describe me as … busy!

My autobiography would be titled … How To Be In 3 Places at One Time or How to get 28 hours out of a 24 hour day.

I can never refuse … a happy hour for a good cause When I go, I will go … with an incomplete to-do list, but all the important things crossed off.

FIRST TROOP TRAIN TRAVELS THE OVER-SEA RAILROAD KEY WEST HISTORY

On May 28, 1912, the first train filled with American soldiers bound for Cuba arrived in Key West. FLORIDA STATE PARKS

BRAD BERTELLI

T

ens of thousands of the Cubans of African descent died during the fight for Cuba’s liberation from Spanish rule during the wars of independence that spanned 1868-1878 and 1895-1898.

Hoping for racial equality, the underrepresented Afro-Cubans were largely of lower economic and social status and not equally recognized by Cuban whites.

During the early years of the 1900s, Afro-Cubans began asking for appropriate government representation and on August 7, 1908 the Independent Party of Color was formed in Havana.

The Morua Law, enacted in 1909, made it illegal for political parties to form based solely on race or class. It also banned independent parties from running for president.

On May 20, 1912, the Independent Party of Color planned demonstrations that were erroneously characterized as armed protests against Cuba’s racist whites. The ensuing action during May and June of 1912 sought to quash what was dubbed a “Negro Rebellion.”

The war was called “El Doce” or the “Guarita de Raza,” the Little Race War that targeted dark skinned Cubans.

Thousands of Afro-Cubans were killed.

On May 28, 1912, the first train filled with American soldiers bound for Cuba arrived in Key West. Troops and U.S. Navy ships were sent to stand by and provide any necessary support for the Cuban army.

TAKE STOCK 2019 GRADUATES CEREMONY HONORS EXCELLENCE OF MONROE COUNTY SCHOLARS

T

he Monroe County Education Foundation recognized the accomplishments of its 51 Take Stock in Children graduating scholars on May 25.

The Take Stock in Children Class of 2019 represents a diverse group of students from Coral Shores, Marathon and Key West high schools who are ready to take the next step in their educational career.

With over 120 advanced placement courses and nearly 40 dual-enrollment courses behind them, the 51 TSIC scholars collectively have earned a 3.64 weighted grade point average. Sixteen will receive Florida Bright Futures scholarships in addition to their Take Stock in Children scholarship and other local scholarships. In total, the TSIC Class of 2019 has earned over $2 million in scholarships.

“We couldn’t be more proud of this group of scholars,” said Monroe County Education Foundation President Bryan Green.

“The foundation enthusiastically congratulates these 51 students and wishes them much success in their pursuit of a college degree or career certification.”

Keynote speaker Johnny Louis, a TSIC 2011 graduate who earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering from Florida International University in 2017, shared his triumphs as well as challenges while pursuing his degree. “Don’t limit yourself to what you can or can’t do with your college career,” Louis said.

“In fact, aim high and perform above those expectations. You will only be doing yourself a favor in the end.”

Louis was the first in his family to earn a bachelor’s degree, an accomplishment for

which he credits the Take Stock in Children program. “The program works,” Louis said during his remarks as he thanked all who made a difference in his life: his mentor, Tim Gaffney, as well as teachers and family.

The mission of Take Stock in Children is to provide opportunities for a postsecondary education to its financially and academically eligible students. Additionally, the Monroe County Education Foundation provides the TSIC Monroe students with the tools and skills necessary to complete a degree, diploma or industry certification.

“This year’s class has participated in college and career readiness workshops and college tours,” said Program Coordinator Chuck Licis. “They have met weekly with their volunteer mentor who has guided and encouraged them to reach their potential.

They are now ready to take the next step, to pursue their college goals, earn a degree with minimal debt, and pursue their career dreams.”

The Monroe County Education Foundation, established in 1996, is dedicated to improving the educational experiences of students within Monroe County. In addition to its flagship program, Take Stock in Children, the foundation provides leadership development opportunities and international travel experiences for qualified Monroe County students. Over 700 students from Monroe County have received scholarships since the program was founded. More information is at www.monroecountyedfound.com or from Licis, at Chuck.Licis@monroecountyedfound. com.

THE BUBBAS

KEY WEST WEEKLY / MAY 30, 2019

A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO THE BUBBAS THE KEY WEST PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS BRITT MYERS

britt@keysweekly.com

O

n July 20, the Bubbas: Key West People’s Choice Awards banquet will return to the Key West Theater before an inevitable sold out crowd.

The 6th annual event has evolved into much more than an awards show — raising more than $80,000 for local nonprofits, while roasting and jabbing everyone, from congressmen to the sheriff and anyone with the last name Mongelli.

This year’s Bubbas promises to be bigger than ever, with more than 90 categories to vote on here in Key West and the surrounding areas.

From your favorite slice of Key lime pie to your favorite local celebrity, you will find a category for just about every facet of life in the Southernmost City.

So without further ado, we are proud to announce the 2019 Bubbas: Key West People’s Choice Awards are upon us. Voting begins Friday, June 7 online, with sample ballots available in all upcoming Key West Weekly editions, along with our radio partners at Florida Keys Media.

For more, here is a comprehensive guideline to the 2019 Bubbas Awards.

THE VOTING

THE CATEGORIES The categories are broken down into three groups. The first is Food & Drink (such as Best Martini). The second is Our Community (such as Best Place to Take the Kids) and the last category is Business (such as Best Bank).

While most of the categories have remained consistent over the past five years, we do encourage residents and supporters to submit any ideas for additional categories for consideration. These can be emailed to: Britt@ Keysweekly.com before or on June 5.

THE AWARDS BANQUET: JULY 20 | KEY WEST THEATER

Due to the magnitude and growing popularity of the Bubbas, all voting has been moved online. The voting is broken down into two stages:

Moreover, the event has taken on an identity of its own. And while some of the most memorable moments over the past five years have occurred on stage with dance offs and lip sync battles between public officials, our proudest achievement is that the Bubbas have truly evolved into a community event — meaning it now belongs to the community through your votes, national exposure for Key West businesses and of course, local support for our nonprofits (such as Wesley House, Bahama Village Music Program and Samuel’s House).

1. Nominee Voting: June 7–24. Voters are allowed to enter one choice or entry on each ballot category. Ballots will be omitted that contain any duplicated emails and/or IP addresses. After June 24 all votes will be counted to determine the top 3 in each category. Ballots will be located at www.keysweekly.com 2. Finals Voting: June 28–July 12. The top 3 in each category will be placed on the finals ballot. During this phase, voters will select from the top three in each category. Voting will end at 5 p.m. ET on July 12.

The annual Bubbas awards banquet has become one of the hottest tickets in town. This year the event takes place on July 20 at the Key West Theater. With over 90 winners, tons of dignitaries and other community supporters looking to attend, the invite list remains selective due to seating capacity. However, there will be ticket opportunities a few days before the event and more information will be provided as the date nears.

THE BUBBAS

KEY WEST WEEKLY / MAY 30, 2019

The event has become much more than your typical awards banquet. While winners and nominees enter by red carpet, previous attendees can attest that the absurd has become the expected norm. From humorous roasts (aimed at anyone and everyone in attendance) to outlandish skits (that have involved elected officials and other hesitant community leaders) the evening promises to offer a much-needed break from partisan politics and petty differences. Instead, the night embodies One Human Family — and everyone is asked to check their ego at the door.

THE BUBBAS THEME The Bubbas theme was created to encapsulate the local feel of the event and the importance of locals choosing who and what they love most in the community. The Bubbas theme was originally hatched with humorous intentions. However, one of our favorite moments of the awards banquet is a traditional opening that includes a Top 10 “You Might Be a Bubba If…” This is significant because true locals (or Conchs) have supported this bit with submissions over the past five years — magnifying the humor and fun of the evening with homegrown anecdotes about our friends and neighbors. Here is last year’s installment:

2018 BUBBAS: TOP 10 SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE A BUBBA IF….

1. You complained about the Marriot Beachside’s chardonnay selection during Hurricane Irma.

2. If you lost your virginity to Virginia Panico.

3. Your Corvette’s vanity license plate reads: FEMA 4. One of your children was conceived on the backseat of a golf cart or during a conjugal visit on College Road.

5. In keeping with times, the breathalyzer you use to start your car features a biodegradable straw.

6. You have been driving without a license since 1966.

7. You are one of the 1735 people who voted City of Key West as Best Family Business.

8. You have at least 700 lbs of free weights in your driveway.

9. You refer to out-of-season lobster as “spring shrimp.”

10. You are a 10th generation fisherman whose boat hasn’t left the driveway in 8 years because you are “waiting on a part.”

GIVING BACK All proceeds and money raised at the Bubbas are donated to one of three rotating nonprofits. The Bubbas continues to support The Bahama Village Music Program, Wesley House and Samuel’s House — this year’s beneficiary.

Over the past five years the Bubbas have raised over $80,000 for these vital community organizations. Money is raised through ticket sales and sponsors, which have included First State Bank, Waste Management, Niles Sales & Service, Lower Keys Medical Center, Horan & Higgins and we are proud to add the Key West Butterfly Conservatory to the list of sponsors in 2019. In addition, the Key West Theater has graciously donated its location to the Bubbas for a fifth year—which adds additional funds to the selected nonprofit.

We thank the community and supporters for participating and look forward to another incredible year. We look forward to your votes beginning on June 7 at www.keysweekly.com

NOTES FROM THE HILL UPDATE FROM MUCARSEL-POWELL

M

aking strides on D.C.’s Capitol Hill is no easy task, especially when 116 bills have been passed by the House of Representatives since January, but none of them has reached the Senate floor.

U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (FL-26) gave an update May 28 on the push and pull of the federal government’s struggle to pass legislation and some of the battles South Floridians face at home.

The good news is last week MucarselPowell helped secure $200 million for the Everglades Restoration project along with U.S. Representatives Brian Mast (FL-18), Francis Rooney (FL-19) and Alcee Hastings (FL-20) much with bipartisan approval.

Mucarsel-Powell has advocated for other bills with House bipartisan approval like the Strengthening Health Care and Lowering Prescription Drug Costs Act that lowers prescription drug costs by getting generic drugs to market and protects citizens with pre-existing conditions, but it is now stalled in the Senate. Also delayed are HR1, For The People Act that strengthens voters rights and limits private donor influence, and The Equality Act protecting against LGBTQ discrimination.

“We are creating solutions to real problems; it’s up to the Senate now to do something,” said Mucarsel-Powell, directly naming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as the opposition to moving legislation forward. “We (the House) have passed other bills concerning net neutrality, help for veterans, investing in greener infrastructure, every week we have passed so many great bills, bipartisan bills, but now it’s up to the Senate to make progress.”

Expected to go to the House floor in June are The Dream Act and American Promise Act bills that help those who arrived in the U.S. as minors and those in programs like Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure seeking permanent citizen status.

“For South Florida, the Dream Act would affect so many people who work in education and health care services, people who are a part of our community and contribute to it, who are waiting to know their fate,” said Mucarsel-Powell. The congresswoman serves on the Judiciary Committee which has just pushed and approved the latest legislation for the Equality Act, the Dream Act, and American Promise Act. Back at home on May 24, MucarselPowell re-visited the Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Migrant Children, which is currently housing some 2,400 immigrant children between the ages of 13 and 18.

“I thought I knew what to expect since I have been there, but this time was different. The children seemed anxious,” said the congresswomen, who spoke to a 17-year-old boy terrified of being arrested and deported on his 18th birthday if he is not reunified with his U.S. family member. She described the conditions as very loud, with rooms sleeping over 100 children, overcrowded and freezing temperatures. The children are allowed two 10-minute phone calls a week to family members, but live in fear that they will alert the authorities about their family’s whereabouts, and then they too will be detained or deported.

“There are hundreds of more children waiting to get in, and I asked, why are we adding beds instead of reducing them?” said Mucarsel-Powell. Along with Representatives Donna Shalala (FL-27) and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23), she has sent a letter to Daniel Levinson, inspector general of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, requesting an investigation of the Homestead Temporary Shelter. According to Mucarsel-Powell, the for-profit facility run

by Comprehensive Health Services LLC, was awarded a contract worth more than $341 million of taxpayer money to operate the Homestead shelter through Nov. 30.

The letter states, “As you know, Caliburn International recently announced its appointment of General John Kelly, former White House Chief of Staff and former Secretary of Homeland Security, to its board of directors. According to a Miami Herald report,

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. CONTRIBUTED

General Kelly was already a board member when the contract was announced. We find it troubling that General Kelly’s tenure in the administration led to a dramatic increase in both the number of children held at the Homestead facility and the duration of time that unaccompanied children are being kept in government custody.”

“It’s like a security prison there,” Mucarsel-Powell said. “There is a level of incompetence and bureaucracy that, at some point, becomes a crime and is a symptom of this administration.” She is for the new bill “Families, Not Facilities Act” which will stop Department of Homeland Security from using information obtained by unaccompanied migrant youth for deportations and help aid reunification with their sponsors and families.

Lastly, Mucarsel-Powell has recently pressed FEMA on why South Florida has yet to receive significant portions of disaster relief funding. While $119,063,620 has gone to Miami-Dade County for Hurricane Irma debris removal, in Monroe County, Keys Energy, and Florida Keys Electric Cooperative are still owed millions from the federal government.

SUMMER BRINGS FRUIT, FESTIVALS

MANGO SEASON IN THE KEYS ERIN STOVER SICKMEN www.keysweekly.com

A

nyone who says the Keys don’t have seasons hasn’t experienced summer south of Miami. Aside from a near constant threat of spontaneous combustion, the Keys also experience waves of blooms, baby chicks, and a magical crop of nature’s most delightful tropical fruit. From May to July, mangoes reign supreme. Mailboxes serve as trading posts and residents stand guard, ready to chase fence-jumpers looking for a free sweet treat. And yes, the “Mango Fairy” is absolutely real. How else could residents explain the ripe fruits that turn up on their porches or their desks at work? It’s not just individuals rejoicing, though. Organizations throughout the Keys are eager to celebrate.

MANGO FESTIVAL – PAL

The Police Athletic League (PAL) offers a Mango Festival as its largest fundraiser of the year. K9 Detective and PAL board member Jesse Hammers turned his local love of mango season into an opportunity to help Key West kids. “As a kid, you’re waiting out in the streets for the fruit to drop, and you know when the season is starting,” said Hammers. “Now that I’m on the board of the PAL, we’ve rolled that into a festival.” The festival helps PAL raise money for programs like sports leagues and summer camps. This year, PAL has expanded its festival offerings to include a Paint-and-Sip at Key West Harbor on Thursday, June 27 and a kickoff party at Rick’s Bar on June 28. On Saturday, June 29 the day starts with a 5K and ends with a mango-themed scavenger hunt through Old Town. And of course, the perennially popu-

lar culinary competition will once again be part of the festivities. Hammers knows that visitors have to brave the heat to enjoy the party, but hopes it’s not a deterrent. “Unfortunately it’s the hottest time of the year, but you can’t have a mango festival without it being mango season”, said Hammers.

MANGO MADNESS – TSKW

The Studios of Key West celebrates the aesthetics of everyone’s favorite warm-hued beauty with its annual Mango Madness Members Show. Every summer, this popular exhibition invites members to showcase their latest mango-inspired works of art. On Thursday, June 6 from 6 to 8 p.m., the Studios will present paintings, sculptures and photographs on all three floors of the building. As annual tradition prescribes, the bar will serve artist Perry Arnold’s famous Mango Margaritas – the only night of the year when Key Westers can taste the secret recipe that includes fresh mangoes from Arnold’s tree.

MANGO FESTIVAL – FAIRCHILD GARDEN

For those seeking a road trip, the granddaddy of mango festivals is just up the road at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables. The annual festival offers a weekend jam-packed with vendors, mango tastings, cooking demos, classes, kids’ activities and live music. The annual brunch, a highlight of the weekend, takes place on Sunday, July 14 and features dishes by five distinct chefs, including James Beard Award winner Allen Susser, who was named one of the 10 best chefs in the U.S. by “Food & Wine.” For armchair travelers and at-home chefs, Susser has also written the seminal book on mangoes as culinary treats, “The Great Mango Book.”

LIONFISH WITH MANGO SWEET PEPPER SALSA RECIPE COURTESY OF KEY LARGO CONCH HOUSE Smple prep 1 hour 15 minutes (including marinating) 4 servings INGREDIENTS SALSA 1 1/3 cup coarsely chopped mangoes 1 cup chopped sweet peppers 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions 1/4 cup fresh Key lime juice (from about 2 Key limes) 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro 1 teaspoon minced seeded jalapeno pepper 1 garlic clove, minced Pinch of salt

GRIMAL GROVE – SPONSOR A TREE

Mango lovers may also opt to help preserve and rebuild the Keys’ beloved mango trees. Grimal Grove on Big Pine Key is an urban farm dedicated to preserving the native fruit trees of the Keys while educating the public about their importance. Sadly, the Grove endured a direct hit from Hurricane Irma and is still recovering. As they work to rebuild their grounds, they have set up a fundraiser (Go Fund Me – “Grove for the Future”) through which dedicated conservationists can sponsor a tree to help offset the costs of new plantings and the maintenance of surviving trees.

An original Grimal Grove Lancitilla Mango is available for $500, while new mango trees can be sponsored for $200. Supporters will be able to introduce their tree to new visitors when Grimal Grove reopens to the public in 2020.

For the salsa: Combine the mangoes, sweet peppers, green onions, Key lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic and salt in a medium bowl and toss gently. Let stand for 30 minutes at room temperature (place in the fridge if it will be longer).

Of course, it is hot outside. For those needing to beat the heat, the Key Largo Conch House offers up a delicious recipe with a sustainable slant – lionfish with mango sweet pepper salsa. A dip under the waves sounds refreshing, but if the spear gun isn’t sharpened, cooks can pick up any of the Keys’ fabulous fish options available at local markets like Eaton Seafood in Key West or Keys Fisheries in Marathon. And of course, anyone in the Keys can attest that the best way to beat the heat involves nothing more than fresh mangoes, a little juice, a lot of ice ... and maybe just a dash of rum.

2. For the fish: Combine the olive oil, Key lime juice and garlic in a large, shallow glass baking dish, stirring with a whisk.

Add the fish to the juice mixture and turn to coat. Cover and let stand 15 minutes.

3. Coat the grates of a grill with nonstick grill spray and prepare the grill for medium-high heat.

4. Remove the fish from the marinade and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the fish evenly with the salt and black pepper. Grill to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side. Serve the fish with the salsa.

REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IN PERIL STRINGENT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS LEGISLATION THREATENS ROE V. WADE AND ACCESS FOR KEYS WOMEN

R

ecent legislation has ignited reproductive rights debates throughout the country and left the future of Roe v. Wade in question.

In addition to Alabama’s neartotal ban on abortion, signed into law earlier this month by Gov. Kay Ivey, other states have taken measures that limit access to reproductive resources. Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky and Ohio have passed heartbeat bills that ban abortions after six weeks gestation. This stringency has drawn criticism, as many women aren’t aware of a pregnancy at the six-week mark. Planned Parenthood claims the term “heartbeat bill” is a misnomer as cardiac activity measured at six weeks gestation comes from tissue known as the fetal pole, not a developed or functioning heart organ. A proposed heartbeat bill was introduced in Florida earlier this year but did not pass.

Among the sponsors of the failed Florida bill was Rep. Mike Hill. Speaking to Women for Responsible Legislation in Pensacola last week and citing divine intervention, Hill promised to sponsor an even more stringent bill next year.

“As plain as day, God spoke to me. He said that wasn’t my bill, talking about the heartbeat detection bill that I filed. He said that wasn’t my bill. I knew immediately what he was talking about. He said, you remove those exceptions and you file it again. And I said yes Lord, I will.

It’s coming back. It’s coming back.

We are going to file that bill without any exceptions just like what we saw passed in Alabama.”

Alabama’s law and others like it are a direct challenge to the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States.

Anti-abortion advocates and leg-

islators are hopeful the controversy surrounding Alabama’s law and the predicted contestation of it will lead to the Supreme Court revisiting its decision where a conservative majority holds the power to repeal it.

Abortion is legal in Florida until the point of fetal viability, around 24 weeks. State law requires an ultrasound be performed and women be offered the choice to view the image.

Florida also maintains a parental notification law that requires health care providers alert the parent or legal guardian of any minor seeking an abortion. A 2014 Pew Research Center survey found that 56% of Floridians support legal abortion in all or most cases, a higher percentage than other Southeastern states.

In the wake of Alabama’s ban and Rep. Hill’s promissory remarks, Florida Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell countered, “Every woman and family should have access to quality, safe, affordable health care.

Efforts on the far right to criminalize a woman’s right to choose isn’t about health care — it’s about taking away an individual’s autonomy and basic human rights. This will take us back to a dangerous time when women lost their lives. A patient’s health should drive important medical considerations, and these decisions should be left between a woman, her doctor and her

Different types of IUDs and the number of years they are effective.

family. A politician’s personal beliefs should not restrict access to care, and I’ll fight those efforts in Congress.”

It’s not only members of Congress who are making their voices heard. On May 26, abortion rights advocates took to the streets of Orlando in support of the nationwide “stop the bans” movement.

There are currently no abortion providers in the Florida Keys, but Womankind in Key West offers patient referrals in addition to contraceptive services. Cali Roberts, executive director of Womankind, said, “This national news has me very concerned, because the tone has become that it’s okay to demonize reproductive help. And Planned Parenthood has gotten the worst of it, even though they don’t use federal money for abortion.”

Defunding and constricted ac-

cess to reproductive resources continue to threaten Womankind and other healthcare providers like it. The Department of Health recognizes long-acting reversible contraceptives, or LARCs, as the most effective method of birth control. According to Roberts, these types of contraceptives, which require no user action, are increasingly difficult for Keys patients to gain access to.

“Taking a pill is not always your best option,” she said. “We were issued a mandate that they are no longer providing LARCs in the pharmacies here. Period.

Now, we have to put in a request on behalf of patients and send a letter to the state family planning department. The state is basically rationing LARCs.” Rep. Hill’s bill will be introduced when legislative committees convene this fall.

LARCs, like the implant, left, and intrauterine devices, right, are some of the most effective birth control available. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA

ADDRESSING ANXIETY MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET HELP

I

went to therapy a few days ago. I hadn’t been since November. I’ve dealt with pretty high anxiety the last few years including the occasional oh-sofun panic attack. A few months back, my anxiety tapered off. I was good. Or I thought I was.

Then, last week, as I was walking through Home Depot, out of nowhere I couldn’t breathe. I knew the signs. Slow inhales, Kirby. Just make it out of the store. Focus on one thing. Find your breath.

I can’t imagine how my inability to speak was mistaken for rudeness as I passed the nice employees in orange aprons asking me if I needed help. Focus. Breathe. As I finally walked through the automatic doors to the parking lot (which felt like it took days to get to), I felt the fresh air on my face and took my first regular exhale. It took another 20 minutes to return to normal.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, some 40 million American adults — roughly 18% of the population — have an anxiety disorder. On top of that, only 36.9% of those people suffering seek treatment with a mental health professional. And make no mistake, suffering is an accurate word to describe dealing with anxiety.

Treatment can look different for everyone. Whether it be yoga or meditation, long walks, talking to a therapist or taking medication, anxiety will not suppress on its own and go away without help. The stigma around mental health has decreased, thankfully; however, millions of people still live with crippling anxiety — a lot of times due to fear of judgment preventing them from speaking out or seeking treatment.

Life events can bring on anxiety: work stress, lack of sleep, a job change, raising kids, increased alcohol intake, etc. Or, it can simply be due to brain chemistry and genetics. Anxiety does not discriminate. Like anything in life,

PILING ON Continued from page 4.

we cannot always control what happens, but we can control how we react and handle the cards we are dealt.

I know I will suffer from some level of anxiety the rest of my life.

Hopefully, I will never hit my rock bottom again: pulling my car over on the side of U.S.1, causing me to be late to work because I knew it was not safe to drive when I couldn’t breathe, spending days at a time feeling like I couldn’t peel myself out of bed, just lying there wishing I could rip off layers of my skin.

For me, therapy helps. Talking to my best friends and my mom helps. You may need more than that. You may need less. You may just need some fresh air. Don’t be afraid to explore whatever you may need to ease your pain.

If therapy is something you’d like to try, my best piece of advice is don’t give up if you don’t love the first therapist you try. This is a very intimate relationship, so treat it like one. If you don’t feel completely transparent with this person, and don’t speak your truth inside his or her office, it won’t work.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Listen to your body, and don’t ignore it simply because you don’t want to admit what’s happening to it. It’s okay. We all have our sh*t. And sh*t is known to stink.

populated, and more stresses placed on services.

The City of Marathon has hired outside counsel — Keys West’s Smith Hawk law firm — to defend the challenge. So far, the city has spent $110,000 and on May 28, the Marathon City Council agreed to spend as much as $200,000.

“Despite our objections, the case has been consolidated to include Islamorada and Key West,” said Marathon city attorney David Migut. “I would like to request advance legal fees not to exceed $200,000.”

Islamorada is also using Smith Hawk as co-counsel and Key West is using in-house counsel. Assistant city attorney George Wallace of Key West declined to comment on the ongoing litigation.

The petitioners are being represented by the law firm of Robert N. Hartsell, based in Pompano Beach. Attorney Richard Grosso — a well-known challenger of Florida growth management policy — is also on the petitioners’ legal team.

The new building rights come with added stipulations.

For example, tenants must agree to evacuate 48 hours before a hurricane while other Keys residents are held to a standard of 24 hours. It’s unclear who would enforce the early evacuation and whether

or not it would apply to everyone. Marathon proposes to exempt first responders, correction officers and health care professionals required to remain during an emergency from the 48-hour evacuation.

Finally, the additional housing units have to be rentals, not units for sale.

In some corners, the additional building rights are an attractive alternative to “build out,” which is scheduled to happen in 2023, when the state will no longer issue new building development rights in the Florida Keys. The number of remaining building rights, even including the “extra” 1,300, is far less than the number of undeveloped properties. Takings lawsuits, where the property owner sues government because he or she cannot develop the land, may be slowed by the ability to grant affordable housing permits. Legal precedent suggests that any beneficial use — whether that’s the ability to build a modest home instead of a market-rate mansion — would exempt governments from liability.

If the challenge is rejected, an appeal could be filed with the First District Court of Appeals in Tallahassee.

STORM WARNING KNOWLEDGE CAN SAVE LIVES

O

Kenneth Graham

n May 23, the same day the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its 2019 hurricane forecast, the director of the National Hurricane Center, Kenneth Graham, was visiting the Keys. Every year, the Key West and Florida Keys Lodging Association invites dignitaries to address the tourism industry about hurricanes. Held at Marathon City Hall, the seminar also included remarks from the National Weather Service’s Chip Kasper from the Key West office, and Monroe County Emergency Management Director Martin Senterfitt. Here are a few interesting facts to take into consideration the next time it blows:

IT’S THE WATER — NOT THE WIND — THAT KILLS. And, about half the deaths took place in motor vehicles. It’s suspected that some evacuees waited until too late to leave, and then tried to drive in dangerous conditions. Unfortunately, the elderly are usually the victims of direct storm fatalities. But indirect fatalities — those that happen after the storm — exceed direct fatalities. Cardiac arrest is the biggest culprit in after-the-storm deaths.

IN THE PAST 10 YEARS, 175 people in the U.S. have been killed by Category 1 storms. Yep, Category 1; don’t dismiss any storm.

THE HIGHEST STORM SURGE IN HURRICANE FLORENCE (Carolinas, 2018) occurred 100 miles inland. Coastal areas are not the only ones that need to be on alert.

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER is the most trusted source for hurricane information. Consider this: in 2018, in the 12 days before Hurricane Florence made landfall, the center’s website had 739 million hits. During last year’s hurricane season, 32 million new, or “unique,” devices logged on to the site. Avoid “weathertainment,” said Chip Kasper of the NWS’s office in Key West.

METEOROLOGISTS USE THE TERM “ANCHORING” for people who latch onto the first piece of storm information and then refuse to change their position despite changes to the storm. In fact, NHC Director Kenneth Graham said NOAA is actively recruiting meteorologists who also understand behavioral science so the service can better motivate consumers to act appropriately.

GRAHAM SAID THAT IN 2019, he’s emphasizing rapidly intensifying storms and storms that speed up. Of the four Category 5 storms that have made landfall in the U.S. — Labor Day, Camille, Michael and Andrew — all were tropical storms three days out before they became monsters. “There’s a misconception that this big, strong storm will have major lead time, and they don’t,” he said. Graham advised officials, business leaders and residents to practice fast evacuations.

Monroe County has rolled out a new alert system, useful during hurricane season. Alert! Monroe is a free emergency alert system for Monroe County residents to receive alerts on cell phones, by text, email, or landlines. To sign up, visit www.monroecounty-fl.gov/alertmonroe.

PRESSURE ON FEMA MUCARSEL-POWELL TAKES ROLE IN DISASTER RECOVERY

T

hree days out from the start of the 2019 hurricane season, and the Florida Keys are still asking: where’s the 2017 money?

In a May 22 hearing of the House subcommittee that oversees emergency management, U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (District 26) pressed for answers. Questioning FEMA deputy administrator Daniel Kaniewski, Mucarsel-Powell asked why promised reimbursement funds for South Florida to pay for Hurricane Irma clean up have not been delivered.

“They are sitting on money that has already been approved,” she said after the hearing.

“They were sitting on $299 million for MiamiDade. After Friday, they approved $119 million for Miami-Dade.” The money will first go to the state, which must approve disbursement to counties and municipalities. Getting it in the state pipeline after nearly two years of waiting, however, is great progress.

Can Monroe County hope for the same results in Washington?

Mucarsel-Powell seems to be listening. The congresswoman received a briefing and held a town hall panel on hurricane preparedness on May 28 at the Marathon Government Center, which included a who’s who of emergency management, law enforcement, and weather authorities from Key West to Marathon. As Mucarsel-Powell queried the local authorities about how she might best help in Washington, the refrain was the same: holding FEMA accountable.

For some context, the City of Marathon has received about $330,000 in reimbursement money from FEMA of the $32 million in hurricane-related expenses the city took on after Irma. Monroe County has submitted $50.4 million in projects for FEMA reimbursement.

Fortunately, FEMA has approved $43.4 million of the Monroe County submitted expenses, but the pipeline is a slow and bureaucratic one. The approvals are sent to the state Department of Emergency Management for approval, then FEMA can obligate the money to the state for payment to the county. So far, the state has approved about $11.6 of the $43.4 million. The county has, as of May 28, received $7.8 million in reimbursement, out of over $50 million spent. The county is going into 2019’s hurricane season in serious debt, having taken out a line of credit for $40 million to pay for recovery efforts.

Rep. Mucarsel-Powell listens as Marty Senterfitt explains the communications process in Monroe County after a hurricane. Key West City Manager Jim Scholl is on the right. SARAH THOMAS/Keys Weekly

Mucarsel-Powell is trying to put a dent in the problem.

“I wanted to have this town hall discussion, because in about four days, hurricane season starts. And two years after Irma, we are still waiting to get reimbursements from FEMA,” said Mucarsel-Powell on May 28.

In attendance at the Town Hall were representatives from the county and cities: Chief Sean Brandenburg of the Key West Police Department; Major Chad Scibilia, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Major of Operations; Key West Mayor Teri Johnston; Martin Senterfitt, director of emergency management for Monroe County; Jim Scholl, Key West city manager; Chuck Lindsey, Marathon city manager; Jonathan Rizzo, warning coordinator meteorologist for NOAA; and Kennard “Chip” Kasper, meteorologist-in-charge for the Florida Keys National Weather Service.

The chorus from local officials was the same: We need help holding FEMA accountable.

“Storms are getting more severe and more frequent,” said Chief Brandenburg, “It’s not too much to ask the federal government to do its part.”

Meteorologists Kasper and Rizzo confirmed that the National Weather Service is forecasting 9 to 15 named storms, with 2 to 4 intense hurricanes (Category 3 or stronger) in the 2019 hurricane season. Water temperatures are running higher than normal, but tempering weather conditions project a hurricane season they consider “normal.”

Even if the hurricane season is “normal,” rather than extreme, the county is running in the red.

“If we can’t restore the coffers,” said Lindsey, “it affects our ability to prepare for and respond to the next storm.”

While the panel agreed that the Keys did an exceptional job of strong communication and recovery efforts post-Irma, there was a sense of being gun-shy after all the money spent — and not reimbursed — after Irma.

“We try to be responsive and proactive,” said Senterfitt. He expressed the desire to continue to work independently in the Keys, not relying on FEMA for everything, as some other places do in the wake of a disaster. “We call in vendors and activate those contracts. But when FEMA challenges us, and we go back to this accounting process that costs months and years… I understand why people rely on FEMA for everything, because they’ve been burned.”

“If we have another storm approaching us, unfortunately on those big ticket items, I am more likely to ask the federal or state government to pay, rather than front it and wait years for reimbursement,” he said.

“We had a pretty good evacuation during Irma,” Lindsey said, “But without being able to write a check, we have a problem.” He expressed the worry of being risk-averse. “It’s very dangerous.”

The danger doesn’t just lie in the finances, but also citizens remaining in the Keys after a mandatory evacuation. The panel was in agreement that leaving when instructed to promises the smoothest recovery possible.

And what can our congresswoman do? The panel had several ideas.

First, create legislation that outlines “hard deadlines” for FEMA — and then hold the agency to them. Mucarsel-Powell said she hasn’t seen a bill that does that exactly, but that it’s possible. The officials also asked how Mucarsel-Powell might advocate for de-centralizing FEMA’s power structure, sending representatives to the site of the disaster who have “signature authority.”

After Irma, Senterfitt said, “No one from FEMA was really authorized to make a decision.”

These changes might be policy changes within FEMA — requiring higher ups to be on the ground during disaster relief, sitting at the table in the EOC with local and state representatives.

They also asked for coordination with federal transportation officials and FDOT for hardening of bridges and roads, and for Mucarsel-Powell or aides on her team to be present in EOC discussions after the storm, to witness what is promised versus what is delivered.

Mucarsel-Powell thanked those in attendance and promised to follow up. “We are already in the red in Monroe County, and if we get hit by another storm, even a minimal storm, it can cause severe damage. I will be back in D.C. next week and will ask about reimbursements for Monroe,” she said.

AN ISLAND OF BOOKS

LOCAL BOOKSTORE HEAVY ON THE HISTORY

T

he stretch of Fleming Street across from Fausto’s may have more stories than any block in Key West.

Leonte Valladares had a bookstore there in the 1920s and ’30s. Ernest Hemingway was a regular visitor, bringing signed copies of “The Sun Also Rises” and “Men Without Women” for Valladares to sell.

Leonte was able to charge an extra dollar for the books Hemingway autographed. They say he started stocking The New York Times for Hemingway too.

The current building went up some time in the ’60s. Marshall Smith was running Key West Island Bookstore when I stumbled by in ’98 to see if he would carry my first book, “Ghosts of Key West.” It’s a hassle for a business to deal with a vendor with a single product, but Marshall gave me the opportunity. He placed a copy in the window, where everybody walking by would see it, and I knew I had finally made the big time.

Marshall and I remained friends until his death. He loved smart conversation, and he never went more than 10 minutes without calling his trusted friend Suzanne Orchard for a fact check or opinion. Suz owns the store today, where she continues to shape the literary legacy of the block that Valladares started. Big magazines

write articles about Suz. The store regularly tops lists of the best independent bookstores in the country. Suz has the numbers of some of the biggest authors around in her phone, but she will greet an unknown visitor from Ohio with the same warmth and passion for the printed word as she would Carl Hiaasen.

There’s something special about escaping to a sea of books knowing that so many greats have done the same thing in the same place. This is a special year for me as an author—my first-born book turned 21 this year, so I’m throwing it a birthday celebration dubbed “Bookapalooza.” The island has done so much for me, and it’s a great opportunity for me to give back to the community, so my goal is to give away a thousand books. Bookapalooza stopped in to see Suz and put up a little plaque to let people passing by know this important slice of history. Stop into our island gem next time you want to walk in Hemingway’s footsteps. Shel Silverstein’s footsteps too. Hell, you can even do it if you want to walk where my flip-flops have tread. Suz has autographed copies of all 24 of my books. And she won’t charge you an extra dollar for the signature.

Love & Limes.

DAVID SLOAN/Keys Weekly 1. Suzanne Orchard: Keeper of history. Purveyor of knowledge.

2. Leonte Valladares came to Key West from Cuba and opened Valladares Bookstore on Fleming Street. Hemingway was a regular customer. The location eventually moved to Duval where it was operated by Valladares’ son Arthur.

3. We put up a small plaque to let visitors know that they are walking by a slice of history.

SUNSCREEN SAFETY JIM McCARTHY

jim@keysweekly.com

S

FDA examining active ingredients

unscreens protect against melanoma risks, skin cancers and premature aging. But questions are growing over active ingredients found in some products and how they may be absorbed into the bloodstream.

A study on sunscreens was recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers conducted what’s called an exploratory maximal usage trial to evaluate the absorption of active ingredients in four commercially available sunscreen products. Researchers say the study evaluates the systematic absorption of a topical drug when used according to the product’s directions.

Researchers say they found sunscreen ingredients are absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream at higher levels than originally thought. But they say the finding calls for more testing to determine the safety of sunscreen products.

The FDA this year issued a proposed rule to update regulatory requirements for most sunscreen products in the U.S., where sunscreens are regulated as drugs. As part of the rule, the FDA is asking for additional safety data on 12 active sunscreen ingredients in available products. The FDA said that mineral sunscreen ingredients, specifically zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are safe. However, ingredients including oxybenzone and octinoxate need more research to determine if they can be officially listed as safe.

“The proposal we’ve put forward would improve quality, safety and efficacy of the sunscreens Americans use every day,” said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb. “We will continue to work with industry, consumers and public health stakeholders to ensure that we’re striking the right balance.”

She said she became inspired after a dive trip in Palau — a place with pristine coral reefs — where she noticed people slathering sunscreen on, jumping overboard, climbing back to wash off, only to put on more sunscreen.

Research has found that oxybenzone is a key ingredient that’s known to damage marine ecosystems like coral reefs.

While Blum started Stream2Sea specifically to protect coral reefs, she said the issue extends far beyond her initial focus. Ongoing research shows that oxybenzone reacts with chlorine in swimming pools to create even more toxic agents, and it is not removed from most wastewater treatment plants.

“That means that someone in Minnesota who spends their afternoon in a pool will likely excrete oxybenzone in their urine that washes down the Mississippi River, potentially impacting the drinking water sources of hundreds of communities along the way — and then moving through the Gulf of Mexico and ending up in the coral reefs off the Florida Keys,” she said.

The study states that the FDA relies on manufacturers to provide the data on sunscreen active ingredients necessary to establish safety and effectiveness for use in sunscreens. The agency is committed to working with industry and public health stakeholders to help ensure the sunscreens used every day by consumers and their families are safe and effective for use.

NATURAL CRISIS

4 ways to promote biodiversity KARUNA EBERL

www.keysweekly.com

Since most of us don’t have time to make sense of it, here’s the summary of the UN’s report on the state of our natural world, with respect to humans’ impact, which was released in May:

A

crash of biodiversity — or the millions of plants, animals and insects that interconnect to keep our natural world stable and provide us with clean water, energy, air, and food — is imminent, unless we take “immediate, radical change across society, politics, economics and technology,” say scientists associated with the report.

In other words, they say if we want to keep a semblance of our current world and life comforts beyond the next decade or two, we must shift the way humans see the land and oceans, from an economy resource to that which we have a moral responsibility to treat in a harmonious and sustainable way.

Why is this important? Without biodiversity, “the foundations of our economies, livelihoods, food security, health and quality of life” are rapidly deteriorating. Currently, $577 billion in annual global crops are at risk from pollinator loss. “We are not just talking about nice species out there; (biodiversity) is our life-support system.”

The global biomass of wild mammals has fallen by 82 percent. Only 13 percent of wetlands remain worldwide. Only 3 percent of marine areas are free from human pressure. Threequarters of all land has been significantly altered by man, along with two-thirds of the marine environment. The world population has just about doubled since 1970. Since 1992, the world's urban areas have more than doubled. Plastic pollution has increased tenfold since 1980. As a result, more than a million species of plant and animal are at risk of extinction in the next few decades, or less.

Land use is the main driver of the biodiversity collapse: over-fishing, over-farming, over-clearing of land, hunting and poaching. Pollution and climate change are next in line, and the latter is increasingly exacerbating the problems.

“The evidence is crystal clear. Nature is in trouble,” one of the project’s co-chairs, Sandra Díaz, told National Geographic.

HOW WE, AS A SPECIES, CAN STOP IT, ACCORDING TO THE REPORT: 1. Shift society away from embracing GDPs and growth models, and move toward more holistic and long-term sustainability economics. In other words, we need to shift our thinking toward valuing nature and social equity, and away from the notion that consumerism equals a good quality of life; and we need to re-root our economies in nature-based planning as the foundation.

2. To do that, we must end subsidies and incentives for exploitive use of resources, such as fossil fuel extraction, along with industrial fishing and agriculture, and put them into restoring and protecting nature, and driving green infrastructures.

3. Another biggie is rapidly increasing the amount of land and sea under protection. The goal is 50 percent of land protected by 2050, with 30 percent by 2030 (about 15 percent is currently protected). Scientists have a proposal for how to do this, called the Global Deal for Nature, which would still allow for sustainable land uses within the protected areas. Along with these protections, greater international cooperation and enforcement of new and existing laws is also vital.

4. In many places, give control of resources back to indigenous peoples and local communities, as they are often much better environmental stewards than national or corporate institutions.

OPINION

KEY WEST WEEKLY / MAY 30, 2019

WHAT WE, AS KEYS CITIZENS, CAN DO: 1. Vote for politicians who understand the realities of this science, and who believe this must take precedence over other political issues. With the timeline being as critical as it is, this is the most vital piece of the solution any one of us can contribute. We might not agree with a particular politician on everything (or much at all, for that matter), but we need to put our own agendas aside to get politicians in there, on all levels of government, who actually intend to put this front and center, and do something about it. The changes we need are sweeping and major, the scale that only governments can accomplish.

2. Support our local nature organizations’ research and conservation work, such as the Florida Keys Wildlife Society, the Coral Restoration Foundation, and the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. There are many worthy ones.

3. Reduce meat, dairy and junk food intake.

Cattle grazing takes up 25 percent of the world’s ice-free land (more than all land that is currently protected) and creates nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. Land in the tropics is of particular concern for biodiversity, as it is being deforested at high rates to make room for more cattle and farming. As for junk food, besides containing empty calories that do no good for us and creating wrapper pollution, many also use palm oil from illegally deforested lands, and all require significant petroleum for manufacturing and shipping. Also, the importance of eating only sustainably caught fish cannot be overstated (luckily, that’s an easy one for us in the Keys).

4. Reduce consumption of material goods.

Simplify. Stop buying knickknacks and gag gifts.

If you are a business owner, cease selling or creating such stuff. Reuse, repurpose. Keeping our ecosystems intact will require us to undergo a major shift in thinking. It will require a departure from our current lifestyle consumptions, into habits that are more ethical toward nature.

This will not always be comfortable, but it will be worth it.

Our current predicament is not without hope. If we can start seeing land and water as ecosystems and not property, we have a chance.

Or in Díaz’s words, “The future will be bad for us if we don’t act now. There is no future for us without nature.”

The UN report is serious science. It is the largest study of its kind, compiled by hundreds of experts from 50 countries, using about 15,000 scientific and government studies, plus indigenous and local knowledge. It is 1,500 pages long and was approved by 132 countries.

‘LIVE ISLAND LIFE’ www.keysweekly.com

YOUTUBE SHOW PUTS LIGHTS ON KEYS

1 + 2. The first episode of “Live Island Life” highlighted a beautiful home in Key Largo. The show hosts properties throughout the Keys, from Key Largo all the way to Key West. AIDA VELEZ/Contributed 3. “Live Island Life” co-hosts Carlos “Carlos G.” Garcia and Paola Velez hope to bring their viewers on an intimate tour of the most luxurious and exclusive Keys real estate currently for sale.

1

“I

t’s really difficult to find good information about living in the Florida Keys,” said Carlos Garcia. “I couldn’t find out anything before I moved here, so I made it my mission to provide insider information about the Keys and our lifestyle to people all over the world.”

Garcia has been visiting the Keys with his then-girlfriend-now-wife since he was in college, over 18 years ago. They fell in love with the community and finally moved to Key Largo in 2018 with their kids.

“I grew up in Brazil and have traveled all over the world, but I have never lived in a place like the Keys where I am constantly in awe. This place is so incredible — the natural beauty, the quiet on most days of the year, and the slow pace of life where my kids can grow up much like I did in Brazil,” said Garcia. “And, the sunsets are the prettiest on the entire planet.”

Garcia decided to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a Realtor once he arrived in the Keys. Then, things got interesting. “After I got my real estate license, it became about marketing. But I did not want to simply knock on doors, get listings and sell houses without providing my clients more value. That search for value creation grew out of my own frustrations as a new resident of the Keys,” said Garcia. “I couldn’t find detailed information about living in the keys — the schools, the secret spots — so I created my Instagram (@IntheFloridaKeys)

2

3 and media channels (www.carlosginthefloridakeys.com) to find out and share that information with not just my clients, but everyone — viewers, visitors and newcomers — and document the best of daily life in the Keys.”

Garcia’s media channels, created three months ago, provide him with platforms on which to connect to thousands virtually and everyone locally. Followers watch and comment as he visits local restaurants, lists homes for sale, attends community events with his family and highlights secret local spots, all to capture and document the rich and unique experience of living here in the Keys.

Garcia often sports his signature “Gshirt” and is known to many as “Carlos G. in the Florida Keys,” from his Instagram handle.

Most of his followers are from South Florida, but some tune in from farther away — New York, Texas, California, Dubai and Brazil. The common link is that everyone is interested in the Florida Keys, either as a current resident, visitor, future resident, or a lover of island life.

Garcia has teamed up with Paola Velez, a local model from South Miami, to co-host “Live Island Life,” a real estate show debuting on Garcia’s YouTube channel on May 24.

Every two weeks, Garcia and Velez will give viewers an intimate tour of little-known, very exclusive properties for sale in the Keys.

Their motivation behind the show is similar to that for Garcia’s Instagram channel: to connect people in a real way to the Keys.

“I don’t want to spoil the show, but we bring in an awesome local chef to prepare a vegan meal for us in one of the homes.

On another episode, we do a dive right off the private island. And in another, we take paddleboards provided by a local shop and paddle out into the sunset,” said Garcia. “The whole point of the show is to keep our viewers entertained, support the local businesses that make things happen in the Keys, show folks all the wonderful things they can do in the Florida Keys, and of course showcase these incredible homes.” Velez said, The pair are hosting 12 separate homes, from Key Largo all the way to Key West, on the 12 episodes of this inaugural first season. The homes are all currently listed by Ocean Sotheby’s and include waterfront estates, private islands, and historic places not always accessible to the public. The second season is in the works and expanding into more local and international partnerships.

“Each home has its own story and its own uniqueness, but all of them are amazing!” said Velez. “Honestly though, I would be very happy with even a shed on the beach if that guaranteed I could be in the Keys for the rest of my life! This place is amazing, and I am so excited to show everyone why!”

MILITARY SERVICE SPOTLIGHT

KEY WEST WEEKLY / MAY 30, 2019

W

e at Keys Weekly have for a long time considered how to best honor the men and women serving in the military.

With the help and advice of our community members in the armed forces, we’re thrilled to present our “Military Service Spotlight.” We begin with Sergeant Luis Dossa, an enlisted airman in the U.S. Air Force.

Dossa joined the Air Force straight out of high school with the support of his parents. In his spare time, he enjoys traveling and spending time with his family and pets.

“In the service, I have grown as a young man, and have been able to do cool things for our country,” said Dossa. “It is an honor to serve in the best Air Force in history, and serving in Key West is a great plus.”

MESSAGE FROM THE SHERIFF It’s hard to believe, but hurricane season is upon us yet again.

It seems strange saying that as many residents are still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. I’ve talked a lot about how impressed I was to see neighbors helping neighbors and this community come together in the face of such adversity, but that storm also taught us a lot about preparation.

I know many of you have endured many hurricane seasons, but I want to share a few quick tips myself about preparation now that the 2019 storm season is upon us: • Review your insurance policies and coverage.

• Organize all your important documents and have them ready to travel.

• Determine your evacuation destination beforehand.

• Look at a map before you pick that destination. Remember, bridges and low-lying areas on the mainland may be unsafe for travel during a storm.

• Buy a traditional road map for your car. Be prepared for your GPS to fail.

• Buy a can of tire sealer for your car.

Lastly, pick up an Official Hurricane Survival Guide from your County Commissioner’s office. Read it! Prepare your home and evacuation kits now.

Let’s all knock on wood in the hopes that Mother Nature will forget about the Florida Keys this storm season. Please, be safe and have a personal hurricane plan!

OSC Adam Graham

United States Coast Guard What ship are you aboard? The USCGC MOHAWK

Why did you join the military? I always knew I wanted to serve my community. Growing up on the water, the Coast Guard was always in the background. My Uncle Jimmy served in the Coast Guard at the tail end of the Vietnam War (stateside).

He shared his experiences and said I would be a good fit. I couldn’t have agreed more.

Don’t look for the luxuries that you’re accustomed to; embrace the experience the Keys life has to offer.

How many years have you been in the military? 18 years.

Ever been to the Florida Keys before your current assignment?

No.

Did you choose Key West or were you just assigned here? We chose to come here.

What were you first thoughts when hearing you were coming to the Keys? I was ecstatic when I found out my family was getting stationed in the Keys!

Hobbies here? I like boating, snorkeling, paddle boarding … any water-related activities.

Favorite things to do? Relax at the sandbar with my wife.

Have you ever attended Fantasy Fest and if so what were your initial thoughts? I have. I stay away from the explicit parties, but do enjoy the Zombie Bike Ride and the Blue Party which supports the restoration of the reef in the Keys.

What do you like most about the Keys? The weather and laid back attitude (“Keys time”).

What do you like most about your assignment? When I’m home, I get to live where most people wish they could vacation.

What would you change about living here in Key West if you had the power to do so? I wish there were longer assignments in the Keys so that I could stay longer!

Any advice to give other military seeking assignment here? Don’t look for the luxuries that you’re accustomed to; embrace the experience the Keys life has to offer.

What do you like most about living here? The support and respect local businesses have for the military.

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.

What is something people don’t know about you? I’m very generous.

What does a “good education” mean to you? Education is the key to success.

What is the dumbest rule at your school? The best?

Dumbest rule is no headphones; the best rule is that you have to show your ID in order to get on campus.

What is something that you know now that you didn’t know when you were a freshman? I’m the most handsome and intelligent man of the family.

What organizations and activities are you involved with at KWHS? Soccer, because it’s my passion.

What are your plans after high school? Go to college and work to save as much money as I can.

What do you hope to be remembered for KWHS? I want to be remembered for being on the soccer team.

What is one favorite way to spend your spare time? Spending time with my family and playing soccer.

Will you make the Keys your permanent home? No, because I have to leave for college.

What three things would you like to accomplish before your 10-year reunion? 1) Have a good job I have a passion for. 2) Graduate with a business degree. 3) Play soccer for a decent club.
