NUMBER OF THE WEEK

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.

ON THE COVER More than a dozen paddlers will kayak from Miami to Key West to raise money for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fundraiser. It’s an epic, 160-mile journey, with a compelling story arc. See story, page 26. CONTRIBUTED

Marathon to adopt 3 feet of ‘freeboard’

Council works on new rules to decrease flood risk SARA MATTHIS

sara@keysweekly.com

L

ayton’s doing it. So is Monroe County. Now Marathon has signed on. They have decided to require 3 feet of “freeboard” above base flood elevation for new and redeveloped construction.

What is freeboard? It’s the “cushion” above current base flood elevation as defined by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Insurance rates are based on where a house sits — under or above — the base flood level; naturally, a ground-level home built below base flood pays a higher rate as it runs a higher risk of flooding in a storm surge.

Keys municipalities are just now addressing the issue of freeboard, as it’s a required element of the peril of flood state legislation required by Tallahassee (see sidebar).

The Marathon City Council, staff and residents have a lot of questions about the variables that could affect the amount of freeboard. For one, FEMA will release the draft versions of new flood maps this summer, an update of information that is 30 to 40-years old. For another, the City of Marathon has height limitations for construction; if a house has to be higher than base flood, but lower than 37 feet tall, construction options might be seriously curtailed. Finally, there are insurance and construction cost implications for projects that have already been designed or are currently under construction.

Please see next week’s Weekly newspaper for more information about freeboard and flooding.

In other news: • Councilman Dan Zieg said the Monroe County Land Authority has verbally agreed to research properties within city limits that may qualify for the “less than fee” buy-back program similar to the county’s. Property owners can retire development rights on adjacent lots for a one-time buy out. The program was created to lessen possible lawsuits come 2023 when there are no more new development rights available to property owners.

• The building workshop set for June 4 was canceled. Zieg, and councilmen Luis Gonzales and Steve Cook, said they wanted to wait for a study on impact and permit fees. Councilman Mark Senmartin and Mayor John Bartus objected, saying the workshop was a chance to hear from contractors and set policy, not prices.

• Currently the city has about 60 occupied temporary trailers or recreational vehicles. About half of those have a permit.

City staff estimates there are about 18 occupied trailers living in front of a storm-destroyed home that have made no demonstrable progress in rebuilding.

“We know that some people are renting trailers or RVs. We do know that’s happening and it’s wrong. If you’ve identified those 18, then action needs to be taken,” Senmartin said.

• The city has re-prioritized its wastewater plan. The city’s Dan Saus told council that a re-pumping station to direct flows from plant No. 3 to No. 4 is necessary. The council authorized a $110,000 contract for design and engineering services. Saus said he is also working to identify the source of the high flow rates, above and beyond that generated by the now open Isla Bella resort.

• The state Department of Transportation will begin work on the intersection of U.S.1 and Aviation Boulevard in August.

• The council denied a conditional use and developer’s agreement for the construction of 10 affordable units at the corner of 15th PERIL OF FLOOD Street and U.S.1, citing an On May 21, 2015, then-Gov. Rick “upzoning” request of two Scott signed into law Florida more units than it is curSenate Bill 1094, “An Act relating rently zoned for, among to the peril of flood.” SB 1094 other issues. The vote to requires local governments to deny was 3-2, with Bartus consider future flood risk from and Councilman Steve Cook storm surge and sea level rise in objecting. certain portions of its compre• The council approved hensive plans. the purchase of a 600KW generator on a trailer for $208,785 and a Ford F250 for the utility department for $36,589.

BARRY GAUKEL/Keys Weekly 1. The teams sponsored by Chapman & Cardwell Capital Management and the Keys Weekly Newspapers gather post-game to celebrate the 2019 season. These players are likely to bring Marathon a Little League World Series title, a state title and most likely several MLB All Stars.

2. The Weekly’s backstop Leo Mendez cranks a hit. He had a solid batting average and threw out a number of runners attempting to steal third base.

3. Design Center’s Shane Arnez fields a grounder during the final game of the season. He made a number of great defensive stops towards the end of the season.

4. Micah Sauders played first base and pitcher for Design Center. He was a presence on the mound and fanned a number of hitters with his fastball.

MONROE COUNTY

MARATHON WEEKLY / MAY 30, 2019

PILING ON

Two more challenges filed against ‘the 1,300’ SARA MATTHIS

I

sara@keysweekly.com

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.

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

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

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

Naja Girard coowns 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.

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 marketrate 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.

Capt. Charles Thompson parades a whale shark caught in the Keys. FLORIDA MEMORY PROJECT/Contributed

A WHALE OF A FISH STORY

Marathon History BRAD BERTELLI

www.keysweekly.com

C

aptain Charles Thompson was a fishing guide operating out of Miami who boasted a reputation for hunting giants.

When a sea serpent was reported out in the Atlantic in 1908, the Miami Metropolis reported on July 24, “The people may rest assured, if there is anything that swims of extraordinary dimension, playing peek-a-boo with Captain Charley Thompson up around Little River within the next few days, its name will be ‘mud.’”

Some years later, Thompson would be hired by a wealthy Cleveland client named Charles Brooks. Thompson ran his charter boat Samoa down to the Keys in search of tarpon.

While fishing between Knights and Pigeon keys on June 1, 1912, Thompson came across a massive beast unlike anything he had ever seen. The fish, identified later as a whale shark, measured some 38 feet in length.

Thompson harpooned the fish, which did nothing to slow the creature, so his crew futilely fired guns that only ricocheted off its back. Enlisting the help of several nearby fishermen, additional harpoons were thrust into the fish as it lazily swam near the Seven Mile Bridge.

After eight hours, the fish was forced onto a sandbar where it died after Thompson climbed onto its back, hacked through its skull, and pierced its brain.

It took two days to tow the whale shark back to Miami where Thompson skinned the creature, dipping its hide in preservatives, and attached it to a shark-shaped frame. The fish was loaded on to a flatbed railcar and then paraded around the country.

OBITUARY

PAULINE FOSTER

I

t is with great sadness that the family of Pauline “Polly” Sheffield Foster announces her passing on May 20 at the age of 68 years. She was at home in Ocean Park with loved ones pres-

ent at the time.

Left to honor Polly and remember her love is her beloved husband, Bryan Foster; three daughters; five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; a sister; and several nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, a brother and a sister.

Polly nourished people around her with her love. She had a smile that could light up a room. Polly’s special interests and hobbies included raising a family, caring for others, spending time on the water and enjoying the parades. Some of her favorite times were listening to her husband, Bryan, playing music and spending time with family, whether splashing in the water or playing a board game.

Polly was the youngest of three children of Henry and Hazel Sheffield of Morristown, New Jersey.

She moved to Washington in the mid-’70s where she worked in various

positions for the City of Seattle for over 20 years, including lifeguard and parking meter collector. However, Polly is best known for her volunteer work.

She was recognized with the Golden Acorn for her commitment in the PTA. She encouraged young ladies as a Girl Scout leader and camp counselor, teaching them to laugh at the silliness of life, to sing out loud whether it sounded lovely or not, and most of all to put a little elbow grease into your endeavors.

Upon retirement, Polly spent 10 years in the Keys, where she volunteered and worked at the Dolphin Research Center and backstage for the local theater. Upon returning to Washington to be closer to grandchildren, Polly volunteered at Surfside Community as well as other local events.

Polly will be remembered as a bright, shining light in the various communities she served. Even in her last days, Polly was thinking of family and friends.

“I thank you all for being a part of my life & I have very fond happy memories. I have lived a good life full of laughter & mischief. I hope you will continue laughing & finding the sweet moments of gratitude & love. Cheers for now! Love, Polly” At her request, no service will be held.

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

MARATHON 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.”

S

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.”

Autumn Blum is the formulator behind the environmentally friendly Steam2Sea sunscreen, which can be found in shops up and down the Keys. 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.

MARATHON WEEKLY / MAY 30, 2019 Parents, instructors and kids pile into the resort pool at the Hyatt in Marathon to learn the technique during the first session of the newly formed Florida Keys Drowning Prevention Task Force. Andrea Thompson, Charlene Sprinkle and Candace Grostefon have all been certified as instructors. SARA MATTHIS/Keys Weekly

LITTLE SWIMMERS Foundation teaches survival skills SARA MATTHIS

sara@keysweekly.com

B

y any standards, this is a success. In the past six weeks, three instructors and 49 kids have been schooled in the swim-float-survive technique in the Florida Keys. “My daughter is now a mermaid,� said Carrie Silverman of Marathon. “We’re already working on strokes and learning how to use a snorkel.�

Indeed, little Dylan, 4, was cavorting around the pool. Mom said she wasn’t exactly scared of the water before starting the class, but ‌ “We moved here at the end of December. Our backyard is the water. All of the backyards are water. God forbid she falls in the water when I’m not there, but now she can save herself.â€?

The next Keys2Swim lessons will begin June 14 and enrollment will open in the next few days. Keys2Swim is also offering parents a free, condensed class on life-saving skills. It will cover CPR, first aid, AED (Automated External Defibrillator) use, and “stop the bleed� information. The class will be about two hours long.

The classes are immersion therapy (pun intended): six weeks, four days a week, 10 minutes at a time for babies six months and up. The goal is to teach them how to roll on their backs to breathe.

Some, like Dylan, take to it very fast.

Sarah Collier enrolled both her children — 3-year-old Evan and 9-month-old Emily. “My son was very cautious around the pool, so this built his confidence. Now he can swim,�

Sarah said. “And Emily wants to float. During lessons, she’s tense.

But at home, with just her grandmothers in the pool, she laughs and smiles. We’ve seen lots of progress.�

Andrea Thompson is the founder of the Florida Keys Drowning Prevention Task Force, and the captain of EMS and Trauma Star for Monroe County Fire Rescue.

She said this session filled up in just hours, and she is already planning the next, with the goal to teach the life-saving technique to another 50 Keys kids.

Classes were taught at the Hyatt pool in Marathon and the Martin Luther King pool in Key West. (Marathon does not have a public pool, so the nonprofit has accepted the generous offer of the use of the resort pool.)

For more information, visit keys2swim.com. The goal is to teach 80 to 100 children swim survival lessons each year.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have announced a license-free saltwater fishing weekend on Saturday and Sunday, June 1-2. During the weekend, a fishing license is not required for Florida residents or visitors. However, all bag limits, closed areas and size restrictions apply. License-free weekends provide an excellent opportunity for non-licensed recreational anglers to experience fishing.

FIRM fundraiser is a ‘drag’!

FIRM (Fair Insurance Rates in Monroe) is hosting its second annual “Hurricanes are a Drag!” fundraiser on Saturday, June 1 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Aqua’s Side Bar, 504 Angela Street in Key West.

There will be appetizers and a cash bar, and same as last year, FIRM is selling tickets at the event for a 50/50 drawing and its signature Giving Tree Raffle — a live tree loaded with gift cards worth over $500.

This year the FIRM board is preselling tickets for the chance to win a 4-night stay at one of 20 luxury beach, mountain, or city destinations. Properties are private homes and, depending

on the location you choose, can accommodate up to eight people — perfect for families, friends and milestone celebrations. One hundred tickets will be sold at $100 each. Contact the FIRM office at 305-294-3476 or info@firmkeys.org to buy tickets.

Kayak clean up set for June 8 To celebrate World Oceans Day, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) is partnering with Florida Bay Outfitters to lead a cleanup via kayaks on Saturday, June 8 from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. (weather permitting).

Volunteers must be at least 15 years old and bring their own kayak and life jacket or reserve one from Florida Bay Outfitters, free of charge (see below). This cleanup will be on the water and volunteers will need to be comfortable operating a kayak independently for the four-mile round trip, swimming, and getting wet. Volunteers should bring water bottles, and dress appropriately for the sun and wear closed-toe shoes.

Volunteers will meet at Garden Cove Drive in Key Largo. To reserve a kayak, call Florida Bay Outfitters at 305451-3018.

arathon’s Jan Burch and her friends continue to remind all of us to be kind by handing out heart-shaped pins.

The pins are tacked onto plain white cards printed with a simple message in red: “A Reminder To Be Kinder.” More than 500 pins in cards have been scattered around town and there is no sign of stopping. Burch said that when Marathon Middle High School begins classes in the fall, she hopes to collaborate with the Be The Change student program to pass out more.

While a hurricane is terrible, Burch said, it’s nothing compared to what people can do to each other. In all her years, Burch said she has never seen so much hostility and hatred as she has recently. As everything escalates, she can’t help but think of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.

“I don’t know how to solve the hate but my little section of the Keys, maybe I could remind people to be kinder,” Burch said, adding that the pin is a physical reminder to do good. “If I’m in a car and feel like I want to scream at someone, I just touch my pin and it reminds me to be kind.”

A respiratory therapist, Burch traveled the world. She lived in the Keys on and off since 1974, before coming to permanent rest in the islands in 2004.

“My friends Sandy and John Grouten, and others, even strangers, help me spread the pins around,” she said.

Look for the pins, or Burch, at Marathon Community United Methodist Church or The Stuffed Pig, owned by her daughter, Karen Dennis. Or call 251-9786267

FKCC ASSIGNMENT REDEFINES COMPOSITION Students break the mold with YouTube videos

SYDNEY SCHUHMACHER www.keysweekly.com

S

ix students created YouTube videos about the transition from high school to college while they were in dual enrollment at Marathon High School and Florida Keys Community College. As he has done before, professor Craig Titus gave his students an open-ended project to make a handbook about the transition from high school to college.

However, this class tackled the assignment by deviating and making their mark.

“This is the first time a class has gone on to make video. It has come up in the past, but I think that people were too afraid to try it. This group found the courage to do it and I think that was the right move,” said Titus, a professor of English who teaches at FKCC in Marathon and Islamorada.

Kayleigh Reed, Annabelle Marcey, Dayra Albernas, Logan Neller, Darian Companioni and Dequian Youngblood were unlike the Introduction to Composition II classes before them. Past classes have done essays, pamphlets, magazines, brochures, and more, but no one had ever jumped off of the page and into the screen.

“We were looking to help high schoolers transition into college because it is a difficult time period.

And we thought because of our youth today, who are less likely to read, it would be a better project and a better outreach to our audience to create videos that they can watch,” said Marcey.

The 17-year-old just graduated from Marathon High and intends to take one more year of classes at FKCC to finish her associate’s degree. Ultimately, Marcey wants to complete college with a major in equestrian studies and a minor in business.

Kayleigh Reed is going to be a senior this fall, and she has been involved in dual enrollment since she was a sophomore. University of Florida is her first choice of colleges and the 16-year-old is committed to science.

Being a veterinarian is her current goal but she is open to new passions that she might find among the test tubes, microscopes and Bunsen burners.

Reed spoke for the class and said, “We wanted to let our community know what we were doing,” she said, “so people could see what the Florida Keys Community College is introducing to upcoming freshmen students or current freshmen students at the college.”

There are a total of eight videos.

The first, dubbed “Intro into the high school to college survival guide,” is an introduction and explanation for the series. The next six are the meat and potatoes of the series, covering health, the importance of the syllabus, the dangers of deadlines, time management, study habits, and more. The final video is a summary and has final words from Marcey and Neller. Watch the YouTube videos by searching “Surviving College 101” and watching the ones with this icon.

Take Stock graduates ready for next chapter

O

n May 25, 13 Take Stock in Children graduates from Marathon High School were honored for their achievements. They received $384,000 in tuition and housing scholarships(*).

Some of the 13 also qualified separately for Bright Futures Awards from the State of Florida. The MHS Academic Bright Futures scholar(+) received an award valued at $6,600 a year which equals 100% tuition and $300 a semester for books. The Medallion Bright Futures scholars(~) will receive an award of $4,500 which equals 75% of annual tuition at state schools.

All 13 students earn a TSIC tuition scholarship, which is valued at approximately $24,000 each, or $312,000 total.

An additional six students earned a TSIC housing scholarship which is valued at $12,000 each, or $72,000 total.

The scholars are pictured with Take Stock’s Chuck Licis and Katrina Wiatt, Superintendent Mark Porter, MHS principal Wendy McPherson and former TSIC graduate and keynote speaker Johnny Louis.

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.

Keynote speaker Johnny Louis, a TSIC 2011 graduate who earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering 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. “The program works,” he 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.

“This year’s class has participated in college and career readiness workshops and college tours,” said Program Coordinator Chuck Licis. “They are now ready to take the next step.”

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.

WE SHIP YOUR CATCH!!

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!

20th ANNIVERSARY Castaways paddle from Miami to Key West for a cure

O

n Saturday, June 8, the Castaways Against Cancer, a fundraising team made up of 20 kayakers, will launch its 20th-annual adventure, paddling 160 miles from Miami to Key West. With a mission of helping to find a cure and honoring those who’ve fought the fight, this kayak journey raises money for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life program.

From 2000 to 2018, the Castaways raised $1,031,839, the 8th-ACS Relay for Life team in the nation to top the million-dollar mark and the first to do so in Florida. The team’s efforts are noted in the Florida Keys Relay for Life fundraising totals.

This year there will be 14 paddlers traversing the entire 160-mile route, and 22 “guest paddlers.” The different legs of the trip measure anywhere from 18 to 27 miles. There’s also a way for regular paddlers to join the team for just a day.

“For me, the toughest stretch is day two,” said Patrick Linfors, the team spokesperson. “My body is asking, ‘Uh … why are you doing this again?’ But I think the Long Key viaduct is pretty challenging. We get there at the end of the day and the current is usually ripping through there pretty good.”

“The oldest paddler is Steve O’Brien at 64, and I think our youngest paddler is in his 30s,” said Linfors.

This will be Suzy Curry’s second full-distance paddle.

She lives in Marathon. And, in 2019, Carrie Hellieson, a former Keys resident and employee of the local American Cancer Society, is also making part of the trip.

In the beginning, paddlers often camped out. Now, with sponsorship support, they have hotel rooms to rest in before taking up the oar again. They also take breaks from paddling to visit with supporters. For example, on Wednesday, June 12, the team will come ashore in Marathon at Faro Blanco Resort.

Since 2017, the Castaways have also supported the SebastianStrong Foundation, which was created in honor of Sebastian Ortiz, a Columbus student who died in 2016 at the age of 16 after battling cancer. Through its efforts with the Castaways, the SebStrong Foundation has raised more than $170,000 to support research of pediatric cancers. Paddling with the Castaways and supporting the SebStrong Foundation this year is Seb’s dad, Oscar Ortiz, and internationally acclaimed artist, Alex Mijares.

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.

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.

MARATHON WEEKLY / MAY 30, 2019

SUMMER VACATIONS Memories of family travels…

N

ow that we have passed Memorial Day, now that school is out and the warm months are truly upon us, it is time to consider that greatest of American traditions: the summer vacation!

As one who spent a good bit of his youth in the Sunshine State, I can truly say that Florida has always offered the best summer vacations. As a family, we would frequently travel to different Florida destinations. Gulfport (near St. Petersburg) was where my maternal grandparents lived, and I loved when we would spend a few weeks there. My grandfather had a cool (small) tropical Florida house, and he decorated the backyard to resemble something right out of Africa — with a healthy dose of Polynesia thrown in. It was so tropically cool and amazing to a young kid. He had palm trees and tropical plants, a backyard grill, and the edges of the property were lined with a bamboo fence. It really was a great Florida backyard.

My grandfather was a real character. He was a foreman and supervisor for many of the Tennessee Valley Authority projects in the post-Depression era, and he had traveled the world throughout his amazing life.

In the politically incorrect days of the 1960s and 1970s, he would smoke unfiltered Pall Mall cigarettes, cursed like a sailor, and he introduced me to Manhattan cocktails before my 10th birthday. Like I said, he was a character.

His retirement home in Gulfport was one of my favorite vacation destinations. I learned how to swim in the Gulf of Mexico near Fort DeSoto … I saw my first red tide … I chased lizards and ate fruit right off the trees in the neighborhood … I collected baseball helmet cups from different major league teams that we could get with Icees in the Li’l General convenience stores … I watched retirees pedal giant tricycles around the town … I got to ride over the old Sunshine Skyway bridge. I lost a fishing rod on the Gulfport pier when something big took my bait (and my pole) … I was bitten by a small bonnet shark on that same pier … It was between my grandfather’s house in Gulfport and our home in Merritt Island on the Space Coast that seeds of my lifelong love affair with Florida were sown.

My introduction to Florida island life was our family’s vacation to Sanibel Island in the mid-1960s.

Between Apollo/ Saturn IB launches, my father took us JOHN all to Sanibel and BARTUS Captiva Islands for a beach break. And is the mayor of Sanibel’s beaches the City of Marawere wonderful. thon. He also is Clear Gulf waters a musician who performs around lapping onto a sandy shore under town. For more see johnbartus.

Sanibel’s lighthouse com were the perfect playground for a Florida youngster. I kept the seashells I collected on that beach for years. And I became aware of the importance of environmental preservation because of the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge on those islands.

During that visit, my father had the chance to buy five Gulf-front lots on Sanibel for a grand total of $15,000 — $3,000 a lot. Hindsight being what it is, he never quit kicking himself for turning those down. Still, $15,000 in 1966 money was a lot of cash. I don’t blame my Dad … too much!

There were other family vacations that weren’t as pleasant. Take the driving vacation we took to my Dad’s father’s house in western Pennsylvania. There were five family members (and luggage) stuffed inside a small Toyota Corolla wagon for nearly 550 miles. The one thing I took from that trip was if you could flatten the state of West Virginia, it would be bigger than Texas.

But it was living in Florida and our Florida vacations that started me plotting toward my eventual life as an adult Floridian. There are so many great local destinations and so much history, even right here in the Keys. A summer staycation is a great way to explore the Sunshine State, even if you never leave the Keys. We have, right in our own backyard, all the things people travel hundreds and thousands of miles to experience. For all our Keys families, I say this: cherish the Florida days and the island time you have together. Your best family vacation could be right under your nose!

Graduation symbolizes exciting beginnings for high school seniors all across our nation. And right here at home, our seniors are ready to embark upon the next phase of adulthood and responsibilities. Yet before the eager graduates toss their caps into the sky, there will be plenty of parties, graduation gifts and most of all—sappy superlatives. At the Weekly, our favorite superlative has always been the “Most Likely To” awards. Sure, "most likely to succeed" is always great to have when you have tons of hair and no body fat, but take it from us, reality can be a real kick in the teeth and there are dubious milestones and achievements you want to avoid. So here you go seniors! These are:

TOP 10 THE “MOST LIKELY” AWARDS YOU DON’T WANT TO RECEIVE AT GRADUATION

10) Most likely to be known as “the old, crazy cat lady.”

9) Most likely to be on the wrong side of the #metoo movement.

8) Most likely to get in a fist fight at a Marathon High School football game.

7) Most likely to commit a natural resource violation.

6) Most likely to get banned from the Brass Monkey.

5) Most likely to have lots of back hair.

4) Most likely to have your home raided by the FBI and have all electronic devices seized as “evidence.”

3) Most likely to end up on keysso.net.

2) Most likely to be smuggled across an international border.

1) Most likely to repeat their senior year this summer.

CORALPALOOZA

Event mobilizes action to save coral reefs

O

n Friday and Saturday, June 7-8, ocean lovers in Florida and the Caribbean will work to help save and restore coral reefs during Coralpalooza 2019 — Our World Oceans Day. “Coralpalooza is a way for all ocean lovers, whether on land or in the water, to unite to prevent the loss of our coral reefs,” said Roxane Boonstra, Coral Restoration Foundation dive and volunteer coordinator. “By working together in this 48-hour period, this massive, coordinated, tangible action sends a message of hope for coral reefs from the Florida Keys to the rest of the world.”

On June 8 beginning at 10 a.m., participants will head to the Coral Restoration Foundation Center, located at 5 Seagate Boulevard, Key Largo, for some Coralpalooza fun. During the event, an army of scuba divers will be physically restoring degraded coral reefs over two days. Recreational scuba divers will join experienced coral restoration practitioners in the water, physically outplanting critically endangered corals to degraded reefs, halting and reversing their decline.

On World Oceans Day every year, hundreds of people gather to demonstrate the impact of collaborative action. This year will be the fifth annual Coralpalooza.

Coordinated by Coral Restoration Foundation, it’s the largest coral restoration organization in the world. They have been restoring reefs in Florida for 12 years, and have now returned more than 80,000 critically endangered corals back to the Florida Reef Tract.

Coral Restoration Foundation invented the Coral Tree, a simple, cost-effective technology that is one of the best ways to grow huge amounts of corals, fast. The foundation’s nurseries are the biggest in the world, with the largest covering 1.5 acres of sea floor, containing more than 740 Coral Trees, and capable of producing more than 42,000 “reef-ready” corals every year.

In the last 30 years, the world has lost more than 50% of its coral reefs.

Coral reefs are a vital component of life in the ocean. They are the “rainforests of the sea”, and support more than 25% of all marine life. Without coral reefs, the delicate balance of life in the ocean will collapse, and, given that over 70% of the oxygen that we breathe comes from the ocean, the consequences for all life on Earth would be catastrophic.

Divers, snorkelers, landlubbers and ocean lovers of all ages can get involved in saving coral reefs during Coralpalooza.

The event is being held in collaboration with CoralVita, Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources, Horniman Museum and Gardens, Fundemar, Mote Marine Laboratory, Oceanus, Rescue a Reef, Roatan Institute for Marine Sciences, Seascape Caribbean, Ticatove, Triton’s Realm, and UNAM. Coralpalooza is spreading from its home in the Florida Keys to Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominica, Hawaii, Jamaica, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Roatan, and London. It is set to be the biggest single day of active reef restoration the world has ever seen.

But it’s not only divers who will be making a difference for coral reefs on World Oceans Day. There are opportunities for all ocean lovers to get involved.

Businesses and other non-profits are also joining the action. Coralpalooza 2019 is sponsored by the Angari Foundation, Fury Water Adventures, Horizon Divers, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, Silent World Dive Center, Keys Diver, Rainbow Reef, Key Dives, Island Ventures, Reef Box, and Filter King.

“Coralpalooza's ability to make such a significant impact in coral reef science, conservation and public outreach in a single event is inspiring,” said Angela Rosenberg, president of the Angari Foundation and captain of R/V. Angari, “and we're proud to participate and provide R/V ANGARI in support of this year's event."

—Contributed

Coralpalooza 2019 will feature an island-wide treasure hunt with Captain Coral. Crack the codes to find locations where you will unlock mysteries of the deep. The adventure will take you to some of the most ocean-tastic places in the Upper Keys, and when you’ve collected all the knowledge you need to help save coral reefs, you can spin the wheel to win prizes.
