uper Bowl Sunday is nearly upon us. Some football fans, particularly those with an affinity for the San Francisco 49ers or the Kansas City Chiefs, have been reviewing game films and dissecting every football statistic ever filed. Others will watch the game with a passing interest, but have bigger plans to tackle a smorgasbord of chicken wings, pizza, assorted dips and adult beverages. And then there’s a third category of Super Bowl spectators who don’t plan to spectate at all and couldn’t care less which team prevails — as long as they get paid if their selected gambling squares happen to coincide with the game scores at the end of each quarter. For this week’s Chatter, we asked the Key West Weekly staff…

What are your plans and predictions for Super Bowl Sunday?

STEPHANIE GALLAHER FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER

1. I will have my first Bloody Mary by noon (OK, fine, 11 a.m.) 2. I will root for the Chiefs because I’m from Missouri, but really I’m cheering for myself and the squares I’ll be ‘betting’ on. 3. I still have no clue what a 3rd down is.” — Stephanie Mitchell

“Oh, that’s an easy answer: Team Ruff is gonna kick ass and beat Team Fluff without a doubt. I especially have high expectations for Huck and Strudel, as they look fierce in their lineup pictures. Oh wait, we’re talking Super Bowl, not Puppy Bowl?

Eh... I got nothing.” — Irene de Bruijn

“I am a Browns fan, therefore the final whistle of the Super Bowl signals renewed optimism. I’m taking the Chiefs.” — Jason Koler

“As an Atlanta Falcons fan, I vowed Feb. 5, 2017 never to watch another Super Bowl (not that I’m still bitter). San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan was the Falcons’ OC during the biggest meltdown in Super Bowl history when Atlanta blew a 25-point lead.

If the 49ers get a big lead, a Shanahancoached team will let the Chiefs back in.

Chiefs: 28, 49ers: 31.” — Britt Myers “Having lived in KC from age 3 to 7, I’m pulling for the Chiefs and hoping to see Patrick Mahomes make some magic happen. As for predictions: I’ll likely slip into a food coma sometime around the third quarter and be changing into comfy pants, while somehow managing to save room for one more vodka drink.” — Mandy Miles

he Monroe County Long Term Recovery Group (MCLTRG) is changing gears.

“We’re going to a ‘blue skies’ model of operation,” said Stephanie Kaple, the chairperson of the MCLTRG executive committee. “The purpose of the group was for a specific event. We’re moving into a different phase as funding is ending and other disasters are occurring in other parts of the country. It’s time for us to take the natural next step.”

Michelle Luckett, the MCLTRG’s executive director, is stepping down. She was credited with connecting a lot of

nonprofit groups for effective recovery response. She said the group’s committee will continue to meet quarterly to make sure the procedures and network remain functional.

“They will focus on preparedness and readiness, making sure the emergency support function for donations is ready to go,” Luckett said.

The MCLTRG will continue to operate the Volunteer Village on Big Pine Key. Constructed on the site of the former Habitat for Humanity Re-Store, the cluster of converted shipping containers can sleep 20 for a very nominal fee. The space is intended to house out-of-town volunteers who come to work on Keys projects, like the recent

group of 10 high school students from … Maine.

“We contacted Habitat for Humanity of the Middle Keys, and learned the cost of hotels was cost prohibitive. We were going to have to cancel the whole trip,” said Jen Bush, a service learning coordinator for the school district in Falmouth, Maine. “But Habitat’s Jill Bell put us in touch with the Volunteer Village and we loved it.”

Bush said it was clean, spacious and temperature controlled and the students lovingly and jokingly referred to it as their very own “tin box.” “Usually we end up on the basement floor of a church somewhere.”

The students put in about 350 service hours working on a Habitat project and the affordable housing under construction by the St. Columba Episcopal Church. They also brought along a check for $3,500 for Habitat, money raised by a concert, a calendar and other fundraisers.

Monroe County leases the land to the MCLTRG’s Volunteer Village. The lease expires in August. Kaple, the MCLTRG chair, said the board is still deciding whether to ask the county to extend the lease.

FACTS ABOUT THE VOLUNTEER VILLAGE: • Sleeps 20 • Opened in June 2019 • Closed for peak hurricane season (August through September) • 50 volunteers have passed through since the beginning of November • Volunteers have come from as far west as Minnesota and as far north as Maine, as well as members from several Florida churches who volunteer during long weekends.

CHATTIN' WITH THE CHAMP

Steelers’ Dunn talks football career, Super Bowl

KEY WEST WEEKLY / JANUARY 30, 2020

JIM McCARTHY

I

jim@keysweekly.com

t’s just past 1 p.m. on a Tuesday. At the OceanView Inn and Sports Pub, I have the chance to meet up with twotime Super Bowl champion Gary Dunn, defensive tackle of 12 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Following an hour of stories, laughs, Super Bowl memories and a prediction on the game this year, we head out back to the pool for a photo op at the big chair. Those around the pool take notice.

“I got to get a picture myself,” said one gentleman sitting poolside.

In his Steel Curtain shirt with his right hand clenched, Dunn’s Super Bowl bling shines.

Exiting the pool, a lady takes notice.

“You must be Gary Dunn,” she says.

Growing up in Miami and playing football at the U, Dunn was drafted by the Steelers in 1976. He went on to have quite the career, wreaking havoc on quarterbacks with the likes of Joe Greene and the vaunted defense. It led to wins against the Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII and the Los Angeles Rams the next year in Super Bowl XIV. Serving as team captain for four years, Dunn ranks ninth on the Steelers’ all-time sack list.

In 1996, Dunn and college roommate and friend, Los Angeles Rams All-Pro Dennis Harrah, took to a new career as they purchased the OceanView Inn. Neither one had been in the business before, so they had to learn fast. And they did.

Today, it’s a popular spot for locals and visitors.

“We said, ‘Well, here comes the school of hard knocks,’” Dunn said.

“I remember I was here and saying, ‘Them trash cans are getting full.

Who takes them out?’ They go, ‘You do.’ I go, ‘Where’s the trash guy?’

They said, ‘You’re the trash guy.’”

Name: Gary Dunn Have a fond memory of the OV? Dennis and I just bought the place two days ago. We were sitting just looking around when all of a sudden the door opened up. In comes a chicken flying around an older guy by the name of Rusty. Feathers are going everywhere and Rusty’s chasing the chicken around here, knocking down tables. Everybody

at the bar just sat here with their drinks. Dennis and I were like ‘What the hell was that?’ They go, ‘Oh, that was Rusty. His chicken comes here all the time.’

What do you miss most about playing in the NFL? Number one thing, the guys. To play football, you build up to the big game on the weekend. There’s lots of ups and downs, and you wait for the game and you’re pumped up for it. It’s exciting to play. Regular life, you kind of just cruise along, you know?

How were you able to play 12 years as a defensive tackle? Total luck. We played a four-man front, two defensive tackles and two ends.

Half my career was there. I could stay pretty healthy doing that. Then they went to a three-man front and moved me to nose tackle, and that’s where I started to take a beating.

I would say it’s like playing out in the middle of U.S. 1 here in traffic.

They’re coming from everywhere ... double-team almost every play. No matter what, someone's going after your legs. The stuff they used to do in my days, now they would throw you out for ...

How are you doing healthwise?

I’ve had a bunch of leg problems with knee replacements and infection. I’m on my fourth knee on my right leg. That’s been my main health problem, but I’m walking.

They can’t just give you a pill. They have to take it out of your body and give you antibiotics. Back in the day when I played, if you tore the cartilage, they took it out. They operated on me for cartilage 10 to 12 times. The last four to five years, I played on legs with no cartilage.

That caused a lot of damage and that’s affected me later in life.

What was life like after the NFL? It’s hard, especially to go back out.

Football’s what you’ve done. A lot of time you think you know what’s going on out there but you don't. The guys nowadays are making money.

It's much different. Me, I couldn't sit there and retire. I had to go and make a living because I didn't have nearly enough money to retire. I came away with a little bit, enough to buy this place and buy a house.

That’s about all I had.

Is the NFL doing enough to help players of your era? Nowadays,

WEEKLY INTERVIEW

KEY WEST WEEKLY / JANUARY 30, 2020

What was your relationship like with the Rooneys? ‘The Chief,’ we called him, Art Rooney Sr.; talk about a classy gentleman. He used to live near the stadium and would walk to work.

And it wasn’t a great neighborhood on the north side of Pittsburgh. He’d walk through there and no one would mess with Art. One time in the off-season (it was funny as heck) I picked a postcard up. The Rooneys used to own horse tracks. I picked up this postcard and it was a horse’s ass. I said ‘What the heck is that?’ Turn it over, and it said, ‘Gary, I saw this and thought of you, Art Rooney Sr.’ We used to talk a lot.

How did your first sack go down? I’ll tell you who my first sack was my rookie year — Joe Namath. It was funny. I’m in there playing the Jets and I go. He sees me and he drops to the ground.

I basically sacked him with my foot. I launched myself at him. I was going to take him out. I went over top of him. I came to the sidelines and Joe Greene comes up to me and says ‘Hey rook, we don’t hit him like that.’ I said, ‘What do you mean?’ He goes, ‘He’s good for the game. Wrap him up, lay him down.

Don’t take him out like that.’ I was like, ‘I'll be damned.’

Is there a quarterback today you wish you could get after? QBs nowadays, shoot, they’re all so fast. I don't think I could sack any of them. Especially Lamar Jackson. Forget it. I hate playing against that, especially as a lineman. You're finally getting through the pass rush, and you’re working your whole 300-pound pizza, and you take that pizza to the QB and he gives you a juke and he’s gone.

What defensive player today impresses you most? Nick Bosa is really good. JJ Watt is one of the more impressive guys I’ve seen.

Your dream team defensive line would be? I would have to go with guys we had on our team: L.C. Greenwood, Joe Greene, Dwight White and I’ll

also go with Ernie Holmes in his prime.

Those guys, when they came up to Pittsburgh, they were impressive.

What was the feeling playing in your first Super Bowl? It was awesome. The game got pretty tight with the Cowboys. You go to the game and you’re excited, all of sudden when you’re going, you go, ‘You better win the thing.’ There's no reason to go all the way and not win the thing. What I also found out is champagne stings your eyes pretty good. I’m in there and they’re shooting them in my eyes.

Nowadays, they all wear goggles.

Were the emotions any different the second time around? It was still great. It’s so hard to get there. When you finally get there, just to be able to win the thing, it’s such a relief to go do it all. I’m sure if you lose it, like with the second game I played against Dennis and the Rams. He lost the game. So he was on the other end of the thing.

Do you ever give Dennis any grief about that? It’s kind of funny. You go to these functions and everybody’s seeing the rings. They’ll have an NFC championship ring, which everyone is looking at it and saying ‘That’s great!’ I go, ‘You think that’s great, that’s called the loser’s ring. That’s what you get when you lose. Here’s what you get when you win the game.’ They hate it every time. Art Cooper, who I played with at Miami, he played with the Broncos. I do it to him all the time. He’ll have his AFC ring on.

STAY AHEAD OF YOURSELF & YOUR DELIVERIES IM#26 - MC450645 | DOT966624

they got programs and things to help guys, which is good. They got a lot of stuff for the guys now that we didn’t have. Pensions for guys like me, right now, there’s a push for the FAIR, Fairness for Athletes in Retirement Act, where they’re trying push the pensions of guys who played pre-1993 up to present-day pensions. Hopefully there’s a big push to do that. They’re all getting older anyway and won’t be around longer anyway.

Any plans for the Super Bowl? We’ll be here. We’ll have our usual drink specials and buckets of beer and all that stuff. We usually put seats and a big TV outside on the sand and we just have a good time.

What’s your prediction? I want KC to win. I want Andy Reid to win. I tell ya, the Niners defense is scary. If they can just rush four guys and handle Mahomes, then that’s going to be a problem.

Finish these sentences…

My go-to drink after a long day is … vodka soda with lime.

My family would tell you that I like to … boat anywhere in the bay.

Playing in the NFL was a … great time and great experience with great fans and a great organization.

This year’s Super Bowl score will be … Kansas City, 32-28.

Poinciana Gardens is a senior living facility in Key West. ROCKFORD CONSTRUCTION/Contributed

M

onroe County and Poinciana Gardens Senior Living want to set the record straight. The county is contemplating taking over the senior independent and assistedliving apartments, and rumors on the grounds are that there will be turnover of staff and residents. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

The independent and assisted-living apartments opened in July 2018, but have struggled in terms of management agencies from the start.

At the January BOCC meeting, Sheryl Graham, the county’s senior director of social services, shared an important update about the Key West housing facility: the management changes being contemplated aren’t intended to create shifts for staff or residents.

Outside consultants are in the process of evaluating the feasibility of the county taking over, said Graham. Currently, Poinciana Gardens is still under the operation of Mia Senior Housing Solutions, the thirdparty management organization that will manage the facility until Jan. 31.

At that time, the Key West Housing Authority, which owns the property, will take over day-to-day administration and operations until the county comes to a final decision, said Graham. Then, if the decision is positive, the county will assume management. If not, Manuel Castillo still has a plan.

Castillo is the executive director of the Key West Housing Authority. He missed the BOCC meeting because he was finalizing his administrator’s certification. “He wants to be able to run the facility in the event that this plan with the county doesn’t work out,” said Graham. The goal of both plan A with the county and plan B through the housing authority is the retention of staff and residents.

Castillo is trying to maintain as many current staff as possible, and Graham agreed that in the event of a county take-over, the goal would be to increase staff. “We don’t want change. We want stability,” said Graham. “In fact, we would need more staff than we presently have. We would need all existing staff running the facility and more.”

Mayor Heather Carruthers reiterated for the public that the housing authority definitely wants to rehire staff and had already asked them to reapply.

Graham added that the broader goal of maintaining staff was neither to lose any residents nor decrease their quality of life. She said, “We want people to stay. We need people to stay.”

Carruthers noted that this was an important message. “Stability is what we’re looking for -stability and growth. We don’t want to upset staff or residents,” she added.

Graham and Castillo are working hard to dispel any rumors otherwise and hope to visit Poinciana Gardens soon to discuss directly with staff and residents.

BEHIND THE BLONDE

KEY WEST WEEKLY / JANUARY 30, 2020 KIRBY MYERS

www.keysweekly.com

NOTE TO SELF...

I set out this week to write a letter to my daughter, something she could possibly read in the coming years. But I decided instead to address the letter to my younger self — hoping that as my daughter embarks on the wild experiences of this world, a piece of this may resonate in some way.

And if not, may it at least remind us, as women, that we can live a life of chances, fun, expression and truth — without apologizing along the way.

D

ear Kirby,

We’re all young and wild at some point and you’ll certainly have your fun. You’ll end up in situations between the “I know everything, but nothing at all” ages of 16 to 22 and will wonder later in life how you managed to escape any seriously negative outcomes.

There was the back of that van at the Warped Tour, thinking you were just there to get VIP passes; the club in Cabo San Lucas where that one famous musician demanded sexual favors to stay at his party (let the record show, you left — and stole his vodka). You went clubbing in Boston and turned around in time to catch a creeper slip something in your drink.

This world is an incredible place that should be discovered. But it’s also incredibly scary. Lose yourself in those fun but ill-advised adventures.

But know you’re strong enough to walk away before something silly turns sinister. Should one of those decisions leave lasting consequences, find the strength to forgive yourself, even if no one else does.

Listen to your gut. It is always right. Dance on the table, but watch your drink. Don’t go home with the guy (or girl) the first night you meet. Make out in the bar or even a bathroom stall, but please keep your pants on. Carry mace and know how to throw a solid punch.

Be kind, but not naïve. And if you’re not laughing until your belly hurts, you need to find new people.

Navigate your relationships with an open mind and heart.

Never be afraid to love because you’re afraid to hurt. Don’t stay because you fear being alone.

And don’t stop looking until you find your best friend. Life is long and you’ll need someone who gets every weird little piece of you.

Most importantly, be your own person. This will be especially hard in your teenage years. Girls will not be nice.

Don’t try to be friends with people who make you feel badly.

Tell the truth and move on.

Lies will always catch up with you.

When you have children, you’ll feel grateful to have grown up before the Internet ruled our lives, when your parents felt safe sending you and your brothers outside with simple instructions to be home by dark.

You’ll be scared out of your mind to raise these children in a world of cyberbullying, political divide, racial hostility, school shootings and a universal expectation of unattainable perfection.

You won’t do everything perfectly, but frankly, my darling, perfection is quite boring.

Love, Your future self

MANDY MILES

A

mandy@keysweekly.com

rhythmic tapping sound, hollow and slightly hypnotic, fills St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on Duval Street.

The source of the sound is not immediately obvious, but as one’s eyes adjust to the church’s dim interior, they reveal a cross-legged Buddhist monk in orange robes, leaning over a large square up by the altar.

With a disposable surgical mask over his mouth and nose, the monk holds a hollow tube in one hand and a rod in the other. Loading the tube with a small amount of colored sand, the monk then taps it with the rod, carefully depositing precise mounds of sand onto the intricate, geometrically repeating

shape that will become the stunning, yet fleeting, sand mandala.

Eight monks from the Drepung Gomang monastery in India were in Key West and the Florida Keys from Jan. 20-23. They hosted prayer gatherings and discussions, played music, shared blessings for peace and worked in shifts on their sand mandala.

When finished, they hefted their fragile masterpiece to the water’s edge, tipped its square frame and watched as the sand colored the water below as beautifully as it had the mandala. The lesson in its destruction is one of impermanence and letting go. According to the teachings of Buddhism, nothing is permanent, and everything is always moving toward balance and enlightenment.

Note: Vegetarian options are always available at any Lost Kitchen Supper Club event upon request and with advance notice.

WHAT THE STARS HAVE IN STORE

REDA WIGLE Welcome to Aquarius season, friends, enemies and extraterrestrials.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the season coincides with the most unforgiving days of winter.

Fittingly, Aquarians tend to be unconventional survivalists who can imagine the impossible and subscribe to the unbelievable.

Light bringer Thomas Edison and royal hypnotist Rasputin both were water bearers. Aquarians are natural-born revolutionaries.

Future-focused and driven by the greater good, these folks shake up the mundane, bring forth change and incite expansive thinking — all good and necessary things.

is a middle child and Taurus Fire Tiger named after a stigmatic saint.

She divides her time and affections between New Orleans and Key West.

The danger of the Aquarian mindset is the belief that the collective is more important than the individual. As such, some schemes and dreams forfeit reason for radicalism. It’s not surprising an inordinate number of Scientologists are Aquarians. The key to getting the most out of Aquarian energy is to be open to extreme change and personal awakening without being swayed by false idols or half-baked belief systems.

Good luck out there.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20 – Feb. 18 You’re more of a line crosser than a boundary setter, water bearer, but the weeks ahead demand that you create clear borders to protect you from bullshit. Resist the urge to indulge in your savior complex.

You are not responsible for the happiness, wellbeing or personal evolution of anyone but you.

Notable Aquarius: Phil Collins / Jan. 30, 1951

PISCES Feb. 19 – March 20 Try your best not to be baited into petty arguments in the coming weeks, Pisces. Planetary influences suggest button-pushing and miscommunication from your nearest and dearest. It’s difficult for fish folk like you to feel as if you can’t trust those closest to you.

Trust me when I say, this is a passing phase and not a new precedent.

Notable Pisces: Dred Scott / March 17, 1799 ARIES March 21 – April 19 The coming weeks are an opportunity and a challenge to live within and between the spheres of fantasy and reality.

You’re in the mood to get lost, be it in a person, a substance or a sojourn. Just make sure you’re taking notes along the way. The purpose of this spiritual off-roading is to reveal new avenues for self-expression.

Notable Aries: Chaka Khan / March 23, 1953 TAURUS April 20 – May 20 Resist committing to plans or people. There’s a whimsical, ephemeral feeling in the air for bulls in the weeks ahead.

Play, but not for keeps. Blood oaths, career jumps, tattoos and major purchases should be avoided at all costs.

Notable Taurus: Keith Haring / May 4, 1958 GEMINI May 21 – June 20 I urge you to write rather than speak in the weeks ahead, my double-edged friends. I recommend your words take the form of a letter. Whether you are finally forgiving an enemy or penning an apology yourself, the time is nigh for commit-

ting these energies to paper and clearing them from your conscience.

Notable Gemini: Harvey Milk / May 22, 1930 CANCER June 21– July 22 The cool detachment of Aquarius season allows you to view people and situations with a mindful objectivity rather than a bleeding heart. This perspective is a gift of clarity, allowing you to see people for what they are, not what they bring out in you.

Notable Cancer: June Carter Cash / June 23, 1929 LEO July 23 – Aug. 22 Lions are capable of running at speeds of 50 mph, but can only do so in a straight line and only for a few fleeting seconds at a time. I offer this to you, my lion pride, as a parable. Honor the intensity of your ambitions, but make certain you are heading in the right direction.

Notable Leo: Davy Crockett / Aug. 17, 1786 VIRGO Aug. 23 – Sept. 22 Your superpower is Virgo Vision, the intense and unsettling quality of perception, observation and analysis that’s inherent to those born under the constellation of the virgin. The drawback is that your visionary eye is ever open, ever seeing.

Cast your gaze where it is most needed and most welcome.

Notable Virgo: Beyonce / Sept. 4, 1981 LIBRA Sept. 23 – Oct. 22 You may be battling feelings of restlessness and dissatisfaction. But rest assured, dear Libra, the change you crave need not be radical. Baby steps.

Rather than selling your worldly possessions and absconding to a distant ashram, try an online meditation course. And while you meditate, ask your inner child what it is your restlessness really requires.

Notable Libra: Carrie Fisher / Oct. 21, 1956 SCORPIO Oct. 23 – Nov. 21 The time for introspection and solitude is now, Scorpio. You are not afraid of the dark and don’t shy from digging deep, but of late you haven’t been investigating or excavating yourself. Retreat to the cave to process the past and set plans for what lies ahead.

Notable Scorpio: Kurt Vonnegut / Nov. 11, 1922 SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22 – Dec. 21 Sage Sag and self-proclaimed lizard king Jim Morrison said of poetry, “It doesn’t say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities, opens all doors. You can walk through any one that suits you.” Heed our man Jimbo in the weeks ahead, archer, keep an open ear to spoken words and be willing to walk into any possibility.

Notable Sagittarius: Gregg Allman / Dec. 8, 1947 CAPRICORN Dec. 22 – Jan. 19 In life, you prefer a set of guidelines: protocols to follow and a list of expectations to meet. Unfortunately, love comes with no such playbook. This perpetual gray area can make navigating intimate relationships challenging and even stressful for you.

Remember, sea goat, the best things live beyond the lines of classification and control.

Notable Capricorn: LeBron James Dec. 30, 1984

cts of piracy can be associated with the Florida Keys, though not necessarily the kind people generally imagine when the topic arises. There were not pirate dens on the islands like those that flourished at Port Royal, Jamaica, and New Providence, Bahamas during piracy’s Golden Age. This is not to say that pirates were not occasionally documented in and around the island chain. Accounts of their physical presence exist, though they are few and far between. One of the earliest reports of a potential pirate landing comes from a Spanish document dated June 14, 1681 that warns, “the enemy is gathering at Cayo de Guesas to invade Havana.” Cayo de Guesas was one of the earliest recorded names for Key West. In this case, the enemy is assumed to have been piratical in nature.

Clearly, there were occasions when pirates met at one of the islands along the chain for business purposes. It is inconceivable to consider that the meet and greet at Cayo de Guesas in 1681 was an isolated event. They were in the area. Pirate ships were sailing up and down the Florida Reef, plundering those unfortunate ships snagged by stony coral fingers. Pirate captains would have had reason to land on this key or that key on occasion. The documents supporting the idea, however, are rare. The usual piratical presence was not necessarily on the Florida Keys, but around them, and generally relegated to the coral reefs, as well as the creeks and passes separating one island from the next, where scallywag affairs could be conducted in relative privacy.

One of these piratical events involved the notorious wrecker Jacob Housman. Housman, himself, has been sometimes labeled something akin to a pirate when stories are told about Indian Key. This is not one of those stories. In this story, Housman is nearly captured by an actual pirate. The account, published in 1829, might be the only time the words “Indian Key” and “pirate” are ever legitimately coupled in the same sentence.

The secondhand account, featuring Jacob Housman (spelled Houseman in the story), appeared in the Lawrenceburg Indiana Palladium

Accounts of pirates in the Keys exist, though they are few and far between.

FLORIDA MEMORY PROJECT

on April 4, 1829. It read: “Charleston, S.C. March 17 – From Capt. Fitch, of the sloop John Dennison, arrived yesterday from Key West, via Indian Key, we have received the following information of the appearance of a Pirate off the Florida Coast: Capt. Houseman of the wrecking sloop Sarah Isabella, the informant of Capt. Fitch, stated to him that on the morning of the eighth inst. he discovered a schooner inside the Reef off Cape Tavernier. That he immediately got under weigh, proceeded towards and boarded her. That he was then commanded to run the schooner into the Gulf, and threatened if she touched bottom he would be shot. That he carried the schooner across, when the Captain observed that, as his (Capt. H’s) boat was better than his own, and he wanted a few more men, he would take him along.

The wrecking schooner Thistle was then in pursuit, and learning from Capt. H that she was an armed schooner, the piratical Captain determined to liberate him, paying fifty dollars for his pilotage.

Capt. Houseman also described the piratical vessel to be a Baltimore built schooner, carrying a foretopsail and a long gun midship; but without a name on her stern, & manned with fifty persons: officers and men all Spaniards. He could not… unreadable… of the Captain, but the latter reported his having left Havana the day before, bound to one of the ports off the east end of Cuba. Her decks were filled with fish, which indicated that she was a cruiser and had been fishing.

One of the officers on deck was dressed in the Mexican uniform.

Capt. Houseman concluded that she had been chased inside the Reefs, across from Sal Bank, by the United States Cutter, Capt. Jackson, which had left Key West a few days previously, in pursuit, and which appeared a little after, off Key Tavernier, tacking to the northward and southward. – Gazette.”

FLORIDA KEYS DAY

TALLY, HERE WE COME ANNUAL TREK TO CAPITAL NEARS

T

allahassee, a large Keys contingent is on the way.

And they’re ready to talk environment, wind insurance, vacation rentals and many other Keys-related items.

Gov. Ron DeSantis gets in for a picture with Rep. Holly Raschein and her son, Drake, Audra Wallace and daughter, Quinn, and Erin Muir and daughter, Violet, during last year’s Florida Keys Day. KRISTEN LIVENGOOD/ Contributed

KEVIN G. WILSON

Monroe County assistant county administrator 1. Eight to nine times.

2. The chance to hold face-toface discussions with state colleagues with whom we normally correspond.

4. What is the state doing to support our efforts to protect the environment?

5. How important the environment is to everyone who lives here or visits.

6. Continue to focus on the requirements of near shore water quality and sustainable development.

MARGIE SMITH

Business consultant at Florida Small Business Development Center at Florida International University 1. I think three, but it’s been a few years.

2. Visits with agency leadership, and while we are there, the League of Women Voters is also having their League Lobby Days on Feb. 4-5.

3. There are many — protection of our coral reef and the Everglades, which I think everyone in the Keys understands, and as a parent I would like to see a more coherent strategy on how we fund schools and ancillary programs for students.

Florida Keys Day is set for Feb. 3-5, as leaders from various sectors in the Keys meet with state legislators, department heads and Gov. Ron DeSantis’ cabinet. Along with the meetings, seminars and sidebars, there will be a little Keys flavor in Tally with rum punch, seafood and music.

The annual pilgrimage to the state capital began more than 10 years ago thanks to Leadership Monroe Class XVII and class member Rep. Holly Raschein. What started out as a small group grew exponentially over the years to 100-plus. With Raschein and state Sen. Anitere Flores in their final year, the gathering is bound to be one to remember.

With the trip fast approaching, the Keys Weekly asked a few leaders what they’re looking to get out of this year’s Florida Keys Day. Here’s what they had to say.

There should be a link between workforce needs and education, but we need to foster programs, including in higher ed, that don’t prioritize just the tracks that need to be filled right now. I’d like to see more linkages between engineering and business in the state of Florida because we need both to walk boldly into the future.

3. Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America was just in Tallahassee. Florida is an outlier when it comes to gun control and it has become the petri dish where lobbyists like Marion Hammer have been outrageously successful in subverting even the most common sense gun control, and capturing this legislature. So what has been the result of the consciousness raising on this led by teenagers on our state legislators? While we are at it, how about ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment at last?

1. How many times have you been to Florida Keys Day? 2. What are you most looking forward to during the visit?

3. What’s the biggest issue that you’re hoping to hear about?

4. What’s a big question you’re looking to get answered?

5. What one item/issue would you bring to the attention of a legislator who’s never been to the Keys?

6. If you have a chance to share a word with the governor, what would you say?

5. That the growth in $15 an hour jobs all over the state is a start but it’s not enough to live on (see high intellectual capital jobs above) and we should consider both tax incentives for owners to rent second homes year-round for workforce housing as well as provide more assistance to families to obtain affordable child care. Too many of our lawmakers, both state and federal, are barely aware of the struggles to raise children and hold demanding jobs at the same time.

6. I’d like to see more economic development resources to help existing and new launch businesses grow in the Keys, I would suggest that conditions vary so widely in this state you have to allow a great degree of home rule, and the state must pay their fair share of taking lawsuits for the Area of Critical State Concern development caps coming in 2023.

FLORIDA KEYS DAY

KEY WEST WEEKLY / JANUARY 30, 2020

JONATHAN ‘Dr. G’ GUEVERRA

President, College of the Florida Keys

5. Because the governor has proposed an increase in starting salaries for teachers, I’ve heard some people singling out the Keys for leading the state in this category. Don’t forget there’s a reason for that.

6. Take a hard look at what’s being proposed by NOAA.

1. This will be my sixth year attending.

2. Meeting with colleagues from across the county and with legislators and their staff to share our progress, raise concerns and discuss solutions.

3. How the legislature is preparing to support funding for our under-resourced college and for education in general.

4. Can Monroe County be treated as a sub-region for workforce purposes without being lost in a region that includes Miami-Dade County?

5. The deterioration of the affordable housing market while there seems to be a rise in the number of businesses.

6. Spend more time listening to folks in the trenches.

SCOTT ATWELL

Executive vice president, Key West Chamber of Commerce 1. I lived in Tallahassee for 35 years, so I’ve been at the state Capitol when the big Key lime pie was being served, but this one will be different. This may be the first time I’ve had to book a hotel room in Tallahassee.

2. Networking with the people who have a shared interest in the success of the Keys.

3. How the Key West Chamber can be helpful, and meeting the people who want to partner in that effort.

4. Not sure yet...

ANDY NEWMAN

President, Newman PR, Tourist Development Council’s public relations firm 1. I think I’ve been to all but maybe two or three. But a little history here: I remember, before Florida Keys Days, back in the ‘80s, there was an event in Tallahassee called Conch Day. I believe it was spearheaded by Sandy Higgs, Ed Swift, Bob Bernreuter and a few others. Bob Graham was governor and Key lime pie was always the centerpiece.

2. Everyone has different goals.

For me it’s a good opportunity to see what we can do to support state Rep. Holly Raschein. I’ll attend some Visit Florida meetings. And since state officials can sometimes be a revolving door, I’ll put faces with names as much as possible.

3. My two primary goals are to talk with the folks at Visit Florida and at the Department of Emergency Management. I want the state to know about the relationship the Monroe County Tourist Development Council has with Emergency Management. We pioneered a program to keep visitors informed about tropical storms and hurricanes.

4. In past years we’ve needed financial help with wastewater funding, but that’s pretty much resolved now. I think now, and this is just Andy Newman speaking personally for myself, I think it’s about water quality issues in the Everglades that can impact our marine ecosystem. That’s certainly one of the main spokes in the wheel when it comes to protecting our coral reef.

5. I’d want them to know how important it is for them to come down and visit the Florida Keys.

It must be hard to visualize and understand the issues we describe when you’ve never been here. And while I think the state of Florida in general is doing better at remembering that the Keys are down here, I’d sincerely invite the legislator to come see us.

6. At the last Florida Keys Days, shortly after DeSantis was elected governor, everyone from the Keys was with the governor for five minutes or so while we were arranging a group photo.

Well, I maneuvered my way over to be next to him, and I told him I truly appreciated what he’s doing with the South Florida Water Management District. If I get the chance again this year, that’ll be my message again because water quality is so critical for us down here.

JOHN W. DENEALE

Mayor of Key Colony Beach 1. Three.

2. Meeting with our delegation and key administration officials to discuss issues and seek funding for our continued recovery from Irma and our ability to improve water quality.

3. I want to know if we are making headway on killing the vacation rental bills that will severely harm the character and lifestyle of the Keys.

4. Will we prevail against AirBnB and VRBO to keep our local vacation rental ordinances?

5. An aerial photo of our reef on a sunny and clear blue water day.

6. I would thank him for his efforts to clean our state waters and ask him to provide the leadership to release the FEMA/ FDEM funds for Hurricane Irma.

STEVE COOK

Mayor of Marathon 1. This will be my fourth trip, I think.

2. Connecting with our voices in Tallahassee — Sen. Flores and Rep. Raschein. I also look forward to face-to-face time with our “local” lobbyists and the governor’s cabinet members and time to coordinate with other municipalities and the county on what we need on a common, or uncommon level.

3. Where’s our money? Also, the Property Rights Bill, and the state’s possible pre-emption of our home rule (short-term rentals bill). Oh, yes, when do we see our Irma reimbursements?

4. Of the $90 million the state says it has in its “back pocket,” why haven’t any funds been released as a part of CDBG/DR? Re-Build Florida was a great idea … right up to the time the state spent money elsewhere, but not in the Keys. When do we count?

5. A satellite photo of the Keys on Sept. 11, 2017.

6. I will share with Gov. DeSantis how much we in the Keys appreciate his commitments to water quality improvement, Everglades restoration, and reforming the reimbursements process given the changes made to the cities impacted by Hurricanes Michael and Dorian. Now we need to put a bow on it and finish up here in the Keys. I would also thank him for his work getting teachers more money for the hard work they do.

I nursed along my dental reconstruction for years.

2 Course Menu | Monday - Friday $24 4.00 - From 5 to 7PM

Ginny Barr, RN

Over the course of many years, Dr. Troxel has been patching my teeth together when I needed a complete overhaul. It was all my doing as to why it took so long to do it right.

Maybe it's because my nursing mentality makes me very methodical, or if I just love going to his office so much. He and his staff are so warm and friendly.

It's like visiting family or close friends. I know I took my time, but it was definitely worth it.

My teeth are spectacular now.

I wish I would have done it years ago.

WINGIN’ IT KEY WEST WEEKLY’S WILD ISLAND WING TOUR

“W

e’re gonna need some more napkins; we’ve made a

mess of things.”

Our team here at the Key West Weekly takes our journalistic responsibility to this community quite seriously — most of the time. But we also recognize the importance of having a good time over a few drinks and staying in touch with the people and places that make this island chain a special place to call home.

During an editorial staff meeting the morning of Jan. 24, we turned our attention to the fast-approaching Super Bowl LIV (that’s Super Bowl 54 for those who gave up on Roman numerals long ago) and came up with a game plan.

It was then that our fearless leader, owner and publisher Britt Myers, suggested we get a little spicy (and yes, slightly sauced) while tackling a chicken wing play-by-play, taste-testing a variety of the island’s offerings.

After all, Key West is home to some of the best chefs around, so it comes as no surprise we host some of the tastiest (and creative) chicken wing dishes in the country. In fact, this is our third installment of a particular food tour around the island. Our first was a taco tour, then we tackled hot dogs . ..and well, with the Super Bowl around the corner, we figured buffalo wings were long overdue.

Coach Myers managed to throw in an impressive number of chicken and football puns before we hit the streets. He told us not to chicken out, promised to throw us a bone, and encouraged our team to get a little saucy in our commentary. The cringe-worthy list goes on; don’t get me started.

By the end of that staff meeting, we had divided into three teams of tasters, divvied up a dozen locations and broke out of our huddle committed to our cause.

Our starting lineup: TEAM MOTHER CLUCKERS consisted of Keys Weekly Publisher Britt Myers and his wife, Kirby. Britt, a redneck from Georgia, knows nothing about buffalo wings, other than he enjoys copious amounts of hot sauce on every bite. Kirby, on the other hand, is the former owner of Wings Your Way, three buffalo wing restaurants based out of New Hampshire — making her the “bone”afide expert of the two.

Team Mother Cluckers’ perfect buffalo wing: Deep fried with a subtle crisp to avoid any soggy exterior. Add some spice that is not overpowering, along with celery and carrots for dipping. Homemade wing sauce is always a plus, along with a hearty ranch or blue cheese for additional taste. Oh, and beer.

Lots of beer.

TEAM SOUTHERNMOST FLYERS included Key West Weekly Editor Mandy Miles, her husband, Capt. Stan, local author and Keys Weekly columnist David Sloan, his lovely fiancee Heather May Potter, longtime Keys resident Bill Ellis (a Bostonian still reeling from his Patriots’ postseason slide), two wild Irishmen named Matthew and Cuddy who kept correcting our use of the term football and Philly import Mitch Harding, who tackled more tequila than chicken during this adventure.

Team Southernmost Flyers’ perfect buffalo wing: Crispy enough to remain so under a blanket of sauce. Spicy enough to make your eyes water and face sweat while still allowing you to taste the chicken.

4

5 OUR PLAYBOOK: • Describe what you ate and any other available sauces and options and how the wings are served.

• Note how the wings are prepared (fried, smoked or baked).

• Include a heat index for spice.

• Rate the crispiness.

• Suggest a beer pairing to extinguish the flames.

Editor’s Note: The numbers assigned to the restaurants are NOT a ranking of any sort, but rather correspond to the photos from each establishment.

6

TEAM WIND BENEATH OUR WINGS featured Key West Weekly graphic designer extraordinaire Irene de Bruijn, her husband, Capt. Adam, advertising executive Stephanie Mitchell and her 10-year-old son, Jack, and an assortment of skilled players who were happy to get down and dirty for the greater good.

Team Wind Beneath Our Wings’ ideal wing: Spicy, but flavorful; crispy, but still juicy.

RESTORATION BLUEPRINT Stakeholders weigh in on sanctuary proposal NOAA’s Restoration Blueprint was introduced at the Sanctuary Advisory Council’s meeting in August, and the community has been buzzing about it since. The proposal seeks to balance the need to bring our marine environments back to health while still promoting the economies and industries depending on those resources.

Four alternatives were presented, but constituents were invited to comment upon as much or as little of the proposals as they wanted – whether that be a specific reef, certain regulations, or an entire alternative. Alternative 3, the sanctuary’s preferred plan, would result in major changes in terms of expanded boundaries, additional zoning, tighter regulation and a new management plan.

Keys Weekly spoke with environmentalists and stakeholders in affected industries about NOAA’s Restoration Blueprint. Here’s what the community has to say:

The Restoration Blueprint is available at floridakeys.noaa. gov/blueprint. NOAA is taking public comment on the proposals through Jan. 31, 2020.

Comments may be submitted online at www.regulations. gov (docket number NOAANOS-2019-0094).

REEF RELIEF: WATER QUALITY MUST BE SANCTUARY’S TOP PRIORITY

F

or 32 years, Reef Relief has fought incredibly hard to keep our reefs alive and protected through educating our community and its many visitors. Through our outreach programs, we have seen firsthand just how many people care about preserving and protecting our fragile coral reefs. For the first time in over 10 years, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary is giving all stakeholders and ocean lovers the opportunity to make their opinions knowns, and it’s imperative we share our perspectives on this Restoration Blueprint document.

The majority of the blueprint contains great ideas to set our sanctuary up for success; however, it is lacking when it comes to public education, comprehensive regulation of vessel traffic and water quality issues.

Make water quality the No. 1 priority. Our corals are declining from disease, pollution, ocean acidification and bleaching. Although it may seem a daunting task, we are not giving our corals a fighting chance if we cannot properly address these concerns. The root of all these issues is water quality and, currently, there is minimal action toward improving it. We were very excited to hear of the large influx of funding being allocated toward coral restoration, but these restored corals have no chance of survival unless our water quality is vastly improved.

The blueprint does not effectively explain how it will improve water quality. The proposals include hiring a task force to make decisions about improving water quality, but the sanctuary should also provide a timeline and action plan outlining how it will work to solve water quality issues.

Eco-tourism is still important. There are many areas in the sanctuary that contain seagrass meadows, extremely shallow waters and mangrove islands.

Within the blueprint, there are suggestions to change areas such as Cottrell and Archer Key to “no-entry” zones. We absolutely agree with limiting access to these areas. But we recommend labeling them “nomotor” zones rather than the proposed “no-entry zones.”

No-motor zones would create fewer disturbances in these areas while still allowing eco-tourism companies to educate guests on the environment through kayak and paddleboard tours. Providing interested visitors with opportunities to see our unique ecosystems is crucial to raising awareness about how

Bio: Mill McCleary is the executive program director for Reef Relief.

people can help preserve these areas.

No-motor zones would also allow organizations such as Reef Relief to continue marine debris removal projects in areas that absorb a lot of surrounding trash. We have all seen the alarming amount of trap line, old buoys, lobster traps, plastics and fishing line collected by our mangrove islands, and it would be a shame to block access to individuals wanting to assist in the removal of this debris.

Blue Star Operator program. Currently, Blue Star Operators are still able to give out thousands of plastic utensils a day (with many of these items blowing off the vessels and into the water). These operators are allowed to take hundreds of people to the same reefs multiple times per day, and give tourists inadequate snorkeling etiquette education.

Limiting access to specific sanctuary preservation areas is not the intended purpose of the Blue Star program. The overall requirements to become a Blue Star Operator are not strict enough to dictate which vessels are permitted access to these areas. What should be required, at a minimum, is more in-depth, quality education to passengers and required use of environmentally friendly products including cleaning supplies, food and drink items and sunscreen.

Education and outreach. The sanctuary needs to secure and spend more money educating people about sanctuary rules and enforcing future ones. For many, the blueprint document is overwhelming. It is impossible for the community to buy into a conservation strategy they do not understand. Proper education will allow locals and tourists to comply with any new regulations.

If we focus on these larger issues, our ecosystems can make a comeback. We encourage everyone to please comment on the document before Jan. 31.

Time is running out to have your voice heard and it is one of the best things you can do to help our reefs, fisheries and the Florida Keys community for years to come.

Reef Relief is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to preserving and protecting our coral reef ecosystem.

A look at what they're doing on the mainland

NOW TRENDING This Sunday, two storied franchises rich in tradition will compete on football’s biggest stage when the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs take to the field at the Hard Rock Stadium just up the road in Miami. However, those of us in South Florida will continue to wonder why our beloved Miami Dolphins have once again missed the big game.

10. They traded a top-10 quarterback for a bag of balls and jar of Icy Hot.

TOP 10 REASONS THE DOLPHINS ARE NOT IN THE SUPER BOWL...

BUY | Whiskey samples Flaviar.com offers quarterly shipments of the finest spirits in the land. A $300 annual membership, or a $95 quarterly membership yields a tasting box (of the user’s choosing) and one full size bottle per month. It’s the top rated service of its kind, although it doesn’t offer shipping to Florida. Yet. But snowbirds should definitely check it out. Keep in mind, this is not a discount membership type of deal, and is marketed to explorers of the craft.

WATCH | Locke & Key Next week, Netflix will drop 10 episodes of “Locke & Key,” described as a supernatural horror drama. It’s based on graphic novels by the same name written by Joe Hill. The storyline follows three kids to their deceased father’s ancestral home. Special keys unlock crazy powers … but there’s a demon who wants them too. The series drops on Feb. 7.

9. The impeachment hearings have been a huge distraction for the defensive line.

8. Most of the team’s skill players were drafted from the University of Miami and are awaiting parole.

7. Their front office has the analytical aptitude of a frozen iguana.

6. Because who wants Minkah Fitzpatrick, Kenyan Drake and Ryan Tannehill on the same team anyway?

5. If Marino couldn’t get them there, what chance does a 49-year-old lumberjack give them?

4. The team owner is more concerned about “Keeping America Great” than he is “Making the Dolphins great again.”

3. Because Ray Finkle missed the kick.

2. Their last 10 first-round draft picks are either on other teams or working at Miami Subs.

1. They have been “Building for the future since 1972.”

LISTEN | Dance of the Clairvoyants Last week Pearl Jam released the first single from its new album, Gigaton.

“Dance of the Clairvoyants” launches with an electronic hard hat and drum beat that would lead some to think they are listening to a new Radiohead song. The bass and rhythm guitars are layered in as Eddie Vedder’s unmistakable voice breaks in to let the world know one of the most celebrated alternative rock bands is still going strong nearly 30 years after the release of “Ten.” The song is streaming now on Apple Music. The entire album will be released on March 27, 2020.

30 YEARS OF SERVICE

LEAGUE OF CITIES HONORS WEEKLEY

From left, Commissioner Gregory Davila, Vice Mayor Sam Kaufman, Commissioners Mary Lou Hoover, Jimmy Weekley, Clayton Lopez and Billy Wardlow as Weekley is honored by the Florida League of CIties.

ALYSON CREAN/City of Key West

C

ity Commissioner Jimmy Weekley was surprised with a special honor at the Jan. 22 commission meeting when he received the John Land Years of Service Award from the Florida League of Cities in recognition of his commitment to municipal leadership and governance.

The award recognizes the level of commitment it takes to serve for 30 years as an elected official in a community.

“Several terms in office is the highest compliment voters give to an elected official,” reads the award, “and with these years of experience comes a strengthening of wisdom, discernment and strong leadership skills that brings tremendous value to the municipal governments of Florida.”

Weekley has served the city – as mayor and as a commissioner – for 30 years.

“This is really an honor,” an emotional Weekley said. “Who

would have ever imagined I’d be around this long? It’s truly something I enjoy doing. It’s the community that raised me and it’s my way of giving back.”

Weekley thanked Key West residents for putting their trust in him for so many years.

“I hope I’ve improved the quality of life for residents and left a lasting impression of what good government should be about, as well as a model for the youth of this community.”

He also thanked the League of Cities and all the commissioners he has worked with during his three decades on the dais.

The Florida League of Cities Award is named for John Land, who served as mayor of Apopka from 1949 to 2014; “a leader whose dedication is unsurpassed at the national and state levels, and who modeled the way for decades of municipal leaders.”

THEATER

WATERFRONT WRAPS UP ‘GLASS’ WORLD PREMIERE ON FEB. 1

ONLY 3 SHOWS LEFT

Merry Jo Cortada as Laurette Taylor and Tim Torre as a young Tennessee Williams are on the brink of disaster or greatness in ‘Glass’ at Waterfront Playhouse. LARRY BLACKBURN/Keys Weekly

T

ennessee Williams is a young playwright at the beginning of his career, while Laurette Taylor is a famous actress facing the end of hers. They meet backstage before the premiere of Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie,” but sparks fly when an unopened bottle of scotch is discovered in her dressing room and both are challenged to face down a common demon. Can they come together to create a night that will live in infamy, or will their fragile confidence shatter like the fine crystal glasses in their hands?

Key West Weekly’s Erin Stover Sickman writes, “‘Glass’ is a study in fragility – of ego, of success – as two characters walk the thin line between triumph and devastation.”

Merry Jo Cortada, who plays Laurette Taylor, has a resume that includes TV and film work, as Abuela in the Disney Channel’s “Stuck in the Middle,” Nita Colon in “Lila and Eve” with

Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez, and Maria opposite Bruce Boxleitner in Peter Ettinger’s “Bank Heist.”

Tim Torre plays Tennessee Williams. Seen last season in the Waterfront Playhouse production of “Sex With Strangers,” Torre also has appeared in productions of “Harvey,” “Take Me Out,” “Much Ado About Nothing” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

Film credits include the lead roles in the feature films “LOCO” and “Against the Night.”

Planning January 22, 2020 ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT The City of Key Colony Beach is a ½ square mile 285 Acre oceanfront residential island which takes floodplain management very seriously.

Damage reduction activities are a major priority.

Our city is part of the Monroe County and Incorporated Municipalities Local Mitigation Strategy Group and has been since its inception in the 1990’s and attended by myself during the last year as new CRS coordinator.

This evaluation report was prepared by the City’s Building Official/CRS Coordinator who works together with the Mayor/ City Administrator on all city projects, daily operation of the city and all legal issues.

This document will be printed under legal notices in the Marathon Weekly newspaper in the 1st available issue and posted on City Hall and Post Office bulletin boards. After printed legal notice has been published the document will then be submitted and reviewed by the City Commission at their next available scheduled meeting.

The public/reader may obtain copies of this annual report and original LMS documents at city hall during regular working hours.

There are seven damage reduction activities listed in the LMS 2010 Revision for the City of Key Colony Beach under Section 10.4 on page 10-10.

This section of the report will briefly address each for the year July 1st 2016 through December 31, 2019.

1. The Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies have been followed and the city has granted NO land use amendments that would increase the land use density and intensity that would have further burdened the countywide hurricane evacuation plan.

2. There were NO City expenditures for infrastructure in the V-zone that would encourage increased private development.

3. The City of Key Colony Beach Disaster Preparedness Committee, composed of residents and City representatives, coordinates with the County on emergency management activities such as planning, response, recovery, and mitigation. It provides its own public information program, disaster command center, and emergency supplies. We had a countywide hurricane drill and monthly Hurricane Preparedness Meetings.

4. Post-disaster redevelopment is addressed in the Coastal Management Element of the Comprehensive Plan, recognizing that redevelopment may require greater building setbacks and elevations, and installation of dunes rather than seawalls.

There was no post-disaster redevelopment to date.

5. The Building Code requires buildings to be designed to withstand the forces of 180 mph winds (assumed in any direction and without regard to the effects of shielding of other structures). In addition all new construction, additions and alterations require: a. double hurricane straps over top member of each roof truss end b. new ¾”CDX Plywood roof sheathing minimum c. 75% of all exterior walls must be reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry This year these rules and others were enforced and verified on 360 building permits including 4 new duplex and 18 new single family homes.

6. Post disaster assessments are required by the Building Department to determine whether demolition versus repairs are appropriate given

the level of damage; buildings damaged more than 50% must be rebuilt to current codes.

Assessments following Irma are currently underway.

7. The Land Development Code requires that all existing mangroves be maintained to state requirements; use of seawalls is restricted and new oceanfront development shall include dune planting plans.

Mangroves have been trimmed, no new seawalls have been installed and there was no new oceanfront development.

All objectives have been improved upon and further mitigation will be accomplished when funding is available for our small city.

Grants are constantly sought.

Recent Projects 1. The City has constructed a new reinforced concrete causeway bridge to improve its ability to withstand storm surge.

2. The City has its own sewage collection and treatment system, which is operated by the Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator. The sewage treatment plant is subject to storm surge flooding but has been recently retrofitted and capable of operating at 2018 requirements. A generating system has been added for emergency operation and 30% of our effluent is converted to potable irrigation through our reverse osmosis and storage system. All lift stations and lines are continually being retrofitted and monitored for infiltration.

3. The entire City Hall/Post Office complex has been retrofitted and flood proofed to current requirements.

4. Several properties were purchased by the City and converted to open space and in July 2013 one City building was demolished and converted to parking and a park.

5. The City’s master storm water control project includes swales, retention ponds, and deep injection wells which were designed, installed and monitored by the South Florida Water Management District, FL Department of Environmental Protection, and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. As of this date, the citywide project is approximately 80% complete.

The City recently completed phase VI on West Ocean Drive.

6. The City is currently having plans drawn up for the 100% completion of our storm water project.

7. A new reverse osmosis system and building ($1,100,000.00) was completed in 2015 converting treated wastewater into city park irrigation water. (50,000 gallons daily) 8. The entire ¾ mile of our main entry road, Sadowski Causeway, had all of its utilities transferred from overhead to underground and has been resurfaced 9. The wastewater treatment plant is currently being upgraded to future treatment requirements at a cost of over five million dollars.

10. The wastewater treatment plant is installing a new UV system to bring effluent matter to standards.

Future projects include the 100% completion of our stormwater project, wastewater improvements, additional reverse osmosis irrigation, building mitigation and the purchase of additional open space when available.

Please do not hesitate to contact this office if any questions should arise.

CELEBRATING LIVES 1

1. The Crooks Second Line Parade steps off and heads up Duval Street in a New Orleans-style celebration of lives.

2. Friends and family cherish Emalyn Mercer’s spirit and smile.

T

he bass drum, like a heartbeat, propelled the crowd forward. The trombones, trumpets and tuba made sure their feet were dancing in celebration of lost loved ones.

The fifth annual Crooks Second Line parade packed lower Duval Street the afternoon of Jan. 26, when hundreds of celebrants carried photos of loved ones as they marched, New Orleans-style, from the Hog’s Breath Saloon to the Green Parrot Bar. A descendant of the oldworld, upbeat jazz funerals of New Orleans, the Key West event started five years ago to honor the late drummer Richard Crooks, and has grown each year as a fundraiser for the Bahama Village Music Program.

Participants pay for photos of their loved ones to be printed on large placards.

All proceeds benefit the nonprofit program that provides free music education to families who struggle to pay for school shoes, much less piano lessons.

The busy weekend also included the 35th Key West Craft Show on Whitehead and Caroline streets, where more than 70 vendors offered handmade jewelry, paintings, beads, sculptures, crafts and other items.

It was a weekend of music, memories and creative expression.

— Weekly staff report

3. ‘Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened.’

4. With a brass band leading the way, the Crooks Second Line Parade heads up Duval Street on Jan. 26.

5. A cancer-kicking crew honors those who lost their fight.

6. More than 70 vendors lined Whitehead and Caroline streets Jan. 25 and 26 for the 35th Key West Craft Show.

7. Creative souls peruse the glass beads and colorful baubles at the Key West Craft Show.

NEW AQUA IDOL SEASON SUPPORTS WATERFRONT PLAYHOUSE

PRESERVING THE PAST COUNTY REPAIRS AMMO BUNKER AT CIVIL WAR-ERA WEST MARTELLO

Contractors for Monroe County are in the process of replacing the historic ammunition bunker ceilings at West Martello Tower. The project should take a couple months. MONROE COUNTY/Contributed

Luke Fox, Sarah Perkins and Vera Grigorovich are among the contestants in this season of Aqua Idol. CONTRIBUTED

A

new season of Key West’s own weekly singing competition started this week and will take place for the next nine Wednesdays until March 25 at Aqua Nightclub, 711 Duval St. The shows are from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and are typically standing-room-only, packed with supporters who vote with donations for their favorite performer.

All proceeds for the next nine weeks will benefit Waterfront Playhouse. Created and coordinated by Waterfront board member Lynda Frechette, the competition has raised tens of thousands of dollars for the local theater, located at Mallory Square.

This season’s singing contestants include: Bob Wood,

Bria Ansara, Gayla Morgan, Calen David Tomaszewski, Herb Miller, Jon Hernandez, Maria ‘Mouka’ Wallace, Mike Ridgewell, Sarah Dorrance, Stephanie Wise, Trey Forsyth, Luke Fox, Sarah Perkins, Saian Dashanimaer, Vera Grigorovich, Charlii Clark and Richard Quint.

Laurie Thibaud is the emcee, and judging is done by Tony Konrath and Frechette, along with a featured celebrity judge that changes each week.

The shows are free to attend, with donations encouraged to support the singers, who compete for a prize package that Frechette assembles each season.

The next Aqua Idol winner will be crowned March 25.

M

onroe County is repairing and replacing the delaminated and partially collapsed ceilings in the historic ammunition bunker at West Martello Tower on Atlantic Boulevard in Key West.

The repairs are expected to take several months to complete and will match the original finishes.

The West Martello Tower is home to the Key West Garden Club and offers stunning pathways through tropical foliage, orchids, palms and other fauna.

The ammunition bunkers sit beside a contemporary meeting room that was constructed in the 1970s. The large wood doors of the bunkers are still intact and in good condition.

Originally, the West Martello ammunition bunkers were a part of the reinforced concrete coastal gun Battery Inman. The entire battery was constructed within the walls of the Civil War-era West Martello fort in 1866. The West Martello was never officially completed, as the brick fortification became obsolete due to the advent of rifled artillery in the late 1860s.

“This is an important project to preserve the fabric of our unique history in the Florida Keys,” said Cary Knight, director of Monroe County project management. “The bunkers were designed to take the impact of cannon and there is a tremendous amount of history within those walls.”

Monroe County Library file photos of the fort can be found at www.flikr.com/keyslibraries.

To read the Damage Assessment Report, visit www.monroecountyfl.gov/historicproperties, and for other Monroe County projects visit www.monroecounty-fl.gov/projectmanagement.
