NUMBER OF THE WEEK There are 18 very important reasons for Marathon folks to watch the halftime show of Super Bowl LIV. (The game begins at 6:30 p.m.) We can’t tell you why; it’s a huge secret. But look closely at the faces surrounding the stage showcasing the musical stylings of JLo and Shakira.

ON THE COVER T.K. McElfresh demonstrates the art of axe throwing. Keys Cable Park has a “cage” and the axe throwing vehicle is often on the move. See story on page 28. SARA MATTHIS/Keys Weekly

Recovery group stands down until the next disaster SARA MATTHIS

T

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.

Big Pine Key’s Volunteer Village sleeps 20. The property is managed by MCLTRG, which is standing down as Hurricane Irma recovery and funding tapers off.

CONTRIBUTED

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 FACTS ABOUT THE VOLend up on the basement floor of UNTEER VILLAGE: a church somewhere.”

MARATHON WEEKLY / JANUARY 30, 2020

NEW HALL, TIFFANY DUONG

tiffany@keysweekly.com

The new city hall is being designed with these elements in mind: • Following FEMA Specialized Project proposal • 11,000 square feet to replace current Marble Hall and post office • Elevated building with parking beneath • 200-person auditorium with a kitchen the size of current Marble Hall

The City of Key Colony Beach (KCB) is laying its foundation for the future — literally. The city commission discussed at length whether to repair or replace Marble Hall, its current city hall, and voted unanimously to replace it.

Mayor John DeNeale told the Weekly why it was a “no-brainer” for the commission. “The city commission voted to build a new city hall because the current city hall will be 7.9 feet below the projected new floodplain,” he said, “and it will still be an old building in a category 2 strength and won’t provide us the security for critical government facility for the future.”

Repair isn’t a viable option, said DeNeale. He shared insight from a well-respected building contractor. The estimate for renovations are $750,000 and additional square footage $600,000. Tellingly, the contractor refused the job, said the mayor. “It would be a Band-aid job, and he didn’t want that in his city,” said DeNeale.

“All-in, we’d be well over a million,” said DeNeale of renovations.

“And FEMA won’t pay for it because they don’t want us building below the flood plain; the state won’t give us money; and, we’d pay more in insurance for a less resilient building.”

Instead, KCB will build anew and save money in doing so.

“When we compared all the funding streams available and what FEMA should be giving us with the age and elevation of our current building,” said city administrator Chris Moonis, “the city commission came to the decision that it is in the city’s best interest to replace the building.”

NEW HIRE KCB Laying the foundation for the future

POSITIONED FOR SUCCESS TIFFANY DUONG

s part of KCB’s strategic expansion, the city has created a new role, intended to help the city grow, with an eye on what changes need to be taken to prepare for the coming de-

The old city hall and post office will be replaced by the new building.

The current city hall, which is built on slab, is sinking and cracked in parts and has been condemned, said Mayor John DeNeale. CHRIS MOONIS/Contributed

Sitting below both current and new base flood elevation (BFE) on FEMA flood maps, KCB’s city hall qualifies as a “critical facility” since it houses police and emergency management. Because of that designation and its precariously low elevation, the city is eligible for a $3.27 million “specialized project” FEMA grant projected cost to help pay for the demolition and rebuild.

DeNeale boiled down the “funding math.” At the bottom line, after exhausting grants, appropriations, cash reserves and insurance payouts, current planning will leave KCB with an initial $227,000 bill to foot. However, the city will apply for a $500,000 state grant appropriation to elevate the new structure above the 7.9-foot BFE, which, if even partially approved, would defray some cost or cash reserve spending.

Moonis lauded the decision as an example of how the city commission is paving the way for KCB’s future. “Key Colony Beach is not just ‘minding the store,’ if you will,” he said. “We’re laying the foundation for the future of the city. We’re anticipating what the future will hold and planning for that potential.”

“It’s a good resiliency move,” said DeNeale. “At this time next year, hopefully we’ll have demolished the old building and have a new one, on stilts!,” added the mayor.

KCB hired Livs Associates, an architecture firm based out of Coral Gables, to design the new structure. They’re currently working with feedback from the city commission and the public and plan to show their initial concept at a special town hall meeting on Thursday, Feb. 6. Moonis estimated that demolition wouldn’t begin until the end of 2020, at the earliest.

KCB city commission meetings are open to the public and held the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 9:30 a.m. at Marble Hall.

cades.

The KCB city commission approved the new executive assistant position in this year’s budget and hired Saara Staten to fill it. City administrator Chris Moonis said the role was created to help the city “get some vision and look into the future.” Staten brings experience as a paralegal. Moonis praised her attention to detail, technical support capabilities and ability to research and problem-solve quickly. These assets will be critical as KCB renovates city hall and otherwise begins preparing for the future, explained Moonis.

“Saara will manage projects we just haven’t been able to address at a professional level, and put together programs the city can then decide to move forward on,” Moonis added.

Her addition has allowed the city to tackle complex challenges proactively, such as how best to update the city’s comprehensive plan and city code of ordinances.

“I’m very proud of where the city is headed,” added Moonis. “With the new city hall and hiring Saara to help us with research and support, we’re looking more than just a couple years ahead of us.

We’re looking 10, 20 years.

It’s great.”

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

MARATHON 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.

Construction for the new Fishermen’s Community Hospital is right on schedule, according to CEO Rick Freeburg, seen here overlooking the recent concrete pour of the hospital’s foundation. CONTRIBUTED

he new Fishermen’s Community Hospital is set to open in the fall of 2021.

The pouring of some 530 cubic yards of concrete began last week, including concrete footers encompassing approximately 35,000 square feet. The foundation of the hospital is scheduled to be completed by the end of February.

The new state-of-the-art hospital will have a 24/7 emergency department, inpatient and intensive care unit beds, outpatient observation beds, inpatient and outpatient surgery, laboratory and pharmacy services, oncology, diagnostic imaging and cardiopulmonary services.

“Fishermen’s Community Hospital continues to demonstrate its commitment to the Middle Keys,” said CEO Rick Freeburg. “Seeing the progress is exciting for our dedicated team members and the patients, families and community we serve.”

The current modular facility, which was constructed after Hurricane Irma destroyed the original hospital, will continue to provide a broad range of healthcare services to the Middle Keys until the new hospital is completed.

SIGNOR WINS ‘DAISY’ AWARD

F

Nurse recognized for helping pregnant accident victim

ishermen’s Community Hospital recently presented Cheryl Signor, R.N., nursing supervisor, with its first DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses for demonstrating compassion and patient-centered care.

Signor was nominated by a patient who was involved in a head-on collision when she was 34 weeks pregnant. Signor saw the accident occur a few cars in front of her own and, without a second thought, jumped into action by entering the passenger side of the vehicle. She immediately introduced herself and assured the patient that “we are going to get through this.” The nurse focused on keeping the expectant mother calm while assessing for signs of labor.

Once out of the vehicle, Signor remained by the patient’s side in the ambulance until she was treated and airlifted from the scene.

DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System.

The nursing recognition program was launched in 1999 in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at age 33 of an autoimmune disease.

The DAISY Foundation and Award were created by his family as an expression of gratitude for the nursing care he received during his illness.

The DAISY Award is presented twice a year at Fishermen’s Community Hospital and the recipient is chosen by the hospital’s professional development council.

A HOUSMAN PIRATE STORY MARATHON HISTORY BRAD BERTELLI www.keysweekly.com

MARINA THROWS MARDI GRAS-THEMED BASH The boaters at Faro Blanco Marina, including Valarie Linnen and Gordon Braithwaite, pictured, hosted a Mardi Gras Dock-tail party on Jan. 25. Partygoers donned Carnival-style masquerade masks and danced to Dixieland music while feasting on such traditional New Orleans dishes as red beans and rice, jambalaya, shrimp and grits, bananas foster, and of course … hurricane cocktails! And while the tradition on Bourbon Street is to throw beads from balconies, the boaters made this tradition their own by throwing beads from the flybridge of M/V Morning Star II to the dockside revelers below. As they say in NOLA, and now at Faro Blanco, “Laissez les bons temps rouler” (Let the good times roll)! CONTRIBUTED

A

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.”

1. What do you enjoy about basketball? Game time, I love the game because it’s so fastpaced, and when I can hear the crowds getting all excited it makes it even faster.

2. How long have you been playing basketball? I have been playing since I was 6 years old. My first year at MHS I tried out, and made it. I was even more excited because I was the youngest on the team, and the only player in sixth grade.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

3. Describe one of your best moments in athletics. Every time I play in the game it is my best moment. I just have a love for basketball and nothing can beat that.

4. Coach Burton says… “Try your best.” Coach yells this before we play and it reminds me that in the end, it’s not the score that matters, it’s how we play on and off the court as a team.

The girls weightlifting team placed 1st overall at districts last week. They now will be advancing to regionals.

What three things would you like to accomplish before your 10-year reunion? First, I would like to have traveled to new places. Second, I would love to have a family. And lastly, I would want to get my degree in what I decide to study in college.

A DISCUSSION OF

HUMAN NATURE

1-5 PM: DJ TITO ROCKS THE POOL DECK DURING THE TAILGATE POOL & BEACH BBQ!

THE AMERICAN DREAM

“SAVE SECOND BASE” POOL & BEACH PARTY

IS THE “AMERICAN DREAM” ALIVE AND WELL, OR IS IT AN OBSOLETE CONCEPT? THE IDEA OF THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME BUT IS IT NOW, OR WAS IT EVER REALLY COMPATIBLE WITH OUR BASIC HUMAN NATURE? SOME SAY IT IS TIME TO REPLACE THE OUTDATED DREAM CONCEPT WITH SOMETHING MORE IN TUNE WITH THE DIGITAL AGE. OTHERS SAY THE TRADITIONAL VIEW IS STILL VALID. BRING YOUR IDEAS TO THE NEXT HUMAN NATURE MEETING AND LET’S DISCUSS THEM.

MARATHON LIBRARY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH. 10 AM

I nursed along my dental reconstruction for years.

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.

TIFFANY DUONG

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:

STATE WILL HAVE MAJOR ROLE TO PLAY

A

s a boater, diver, angler, and your state representative for the last eight years, I can think of no issue more wide-ranging in its impact than the protection of our coral reefs and unique marine environment. Our economy is also inextricably tied to our natural environment, making these issues even more significant for those who call the Florida Keys their home. In my time in the legislature, we have pushed for long-term investments in protecting our coral reefs and improving nearshore water quality in the Florida Keys, including dedicating state funding to restoration and water quality efforts. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with other stakeholders on the front lines and we’ve been successful in tightening penalties against resource violators and increasing funding for coral restoration and replanting specifically. Gov. DeSantis has also shown strong support for our environment, advocating for record levels of state funding in his first year in office to address water quality, and I am extremely proud to have been a part of these efforts.

Now, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary has presented a draft plan “Restoration Blueprint,” calling for a number of changes to its management plan, including extensive changes to the boundaries of the sanctuary and to fishing, diving, boating and other rules for the waters surrounding the Florida Keys. This process has been challenging, but it has had the benefit of engaging so many of our local stakeholders who have really come out and made their voices heard. Since these individuals and groups will arguably be the most impacted by these changes and are often our best resource for catching poachers and bad actors, I think it is critically important that they be a part of the discussion (and contribute potential solutions) as this process moves forward.

I think it is important to remember that we are in the early stages of a very fluid process, and one that touches on a number of issues related not only to access but also to fisheries management. As noted in previous opinions, these issues fall under the purview of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and since the proposed rules will have to be approved by the state and then enforced by the state, I expect we will become an even bigger part of the conversation and will work with the sanctuary to take what they proposed and find the best balance between the protection of our natural resources and the local economy that is supported by those resources.

Holly Raschein State representative

The Restoration Blueprint is available at floridakeys.noaa. gov/blueprint. Jan. 31, 2020 is the last day to make public comment to NOAA on the proposals. Comments may be submitted online at www. regulations.gov (docket number NOAA-NOS-2019-0094).

Holly Raschein is a member of the Florida House of Representatives, elected in 2012 to represent the 120th district, which includes Monroe County and southern MiamiDade County. Raschein serves on six committees in the Florida House, including chairing the Agriculture & Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee.

HOROSCOPE

MARATHON WEEKLY / JANUARY 30, 2020

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

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.

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.

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.

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….

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.”

MARATHON WEEKLY / JANUARY 30, 2020

MAKE IT STOP More songs I’d like never to hear again

T

he 2020 Grammys are history. Amen. The big winner of the night was Billie Eilish, taking home the Big Four awards: album, record and song of the year plus best new artist. The only other person to do this was Christopher Cross — and we all know and can sing along with the decades of multiple hits he produced.

(Sarcasm intended.) Perhaps Billie will have better luck in her career.

And perhaps she won’t fall prey to the trap of really crappy lyrics like, “Just like the white winged dove, sings a song, sounds like she’s singing, ooh, baby ooh, yeah ooh.”

But that brings me back to music; specifically, it reminds me of a prod from Weekly copy editor and fellow musician Mike Howie. He suggested I write another “Songs I’d Like Never To Hear Again” column. So without my old columns at hand to reference, please excuse any repeat mentions.

The first is a guaranteed norepeat song: “Old Town Road,” by Lil Nas X and Billy Cyrus (among others). Nothing in this alleged attempt at a song makes me care one whit where he takes his horse. This is just about as bad as the Rednex techno version of “Cotton Eye Joe” that attempted to fuse genres that have nothing in common and really don’t need fusing. It’s so sad to observe that this is what popular music has devolved to… Steely Dan was Top 40 back in the 1970s. Steely Dan. I really have no words and should stop writing now, except for the fact that my editors expect roughly 700 words. So into the cheese we forge on…

There’s not a thing more cheesy than one of those all-in-one keyboards with built-in arrangements.

An undisputed master of the genre was the late Wesley Willis. With compositions like “Rock and Roll McDonalds” and “I Wupped Batman’s Ass,” Willis took his cheesy sounds all the way to a contract with an actual record label. Look him up at your own peril. Rock over London, rock on Chicago.

This next song just won’t die, thanks to classic rock radio. Supertramp’s “The Logical Song” is inspirational. I can’t tell you just how many times this song inspired me to

change the station on the radio.

Rodger Hodgson’s whiny voice (he must have gone to the same vocal academy as Styx’ Dennis DeYoung and REO Speedwagon’s Kevin Cronin) grates like fingernails on a chalkboard. At the end of the song, when he begs someone to please “tell me who I am,” I would do so gladly… if I hadn’t already changed

stations.

Speaking of whiny voices from the 1970s, one-hit-wonder Nick Gilder’s contribution to this column is unintentionally amusing. “Hot Child in the City,” purportedly written about an amazing ’70s woman with feathered hair and blue eye shadow, sounds somewhat autobiographical. For all we know, Nick may still be waiting for puberty and his voice to change.

One more ’70s entry — if there is a more depressing song than this one, it’s not yet been written. Starting with the lyrics, “In a little while from now, If I'm not feeling any less sour — I promise myself to treat myself, And visit a nearby tower. And climbing to the top, will throw myself off…” If Gilbert O’Sullivan had done just that, he would have saved us from two and a half heartbreaking verses and the bridge of “Alone Again (Naturally).”

This is seriously the saddest song ever.

Although… this song may have actually prevented suicides by reminding the listeners that there are people really worse off than they are. Let’s see, left at the altar, father dies, mother dies, yep — life sucks.

While Richard Harris’ version of “MacArthur Park” potentially merits its own column, we’ll close this list where we started. Billy Ray Cyrus, who helped give us both “Old Town Road” and Miley, actually began his contributions to musical immortality in 1992 with the inane yet legendary “Achy Breaky Heart.” If the chorus isn’t bad enough, consider these poetic lyrics: “You can tell your mom I moved to Arkansas / You can tell your dog to bite my leg / Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip / He never really liked me anyway.” Mind blown.

Who knows when another installment of bad songs may show up again. Until then, I’m taking my horse…

SO CLOSE THEY CAN TASTE IT! MHS Culinary Team headed to LIV event SARA MATTHIS sara@keysweekly.com

T

hree lucky Marathon High School students will be so close to the Super Bowl, they will almost taste it.

Okay, they will taste it. Chase Taylor, Jordan Wilson and Matt Kratzert and their culinary leader Chef Carl Stanton will rub elbows with celebrities at the Taste of the

NFL, one of the sanctioned events of Super Bowl LIV in Miami this weekend.

On Saturday, Feb. 2 the foursome will head to the event at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida.

There they will take up their tools of the trade alongside 32 of America’s finest chefs, and 35 current NFL players, Hall of Famers and other legends. The ambassadors are actors Jeff Bridges and Alyssa Milano, and chef Bobby Flay. “I think you could say we are beyond excited,� said Stanton, or “Chef Flavor� as he’s known. “I’m a little geeked myself. It’s a chance to see some of my heroes.�

Although he’s not sure exactly (at presstime) what the students’ role will be, the Taste of the NFL raises funds and awareness to combat hunger domestically. In 25 years, the organization has raised $25 million. Each year, net proceeds from the Taste of the NFL's programs and events are donated to designated Feeding Americaaffiliated food banks in each of the 32 NFL team cities, as well as other hunger relief organizations.

Tickets are $700, available at tasteofthenfl.com. Gulp.

To sample Marathon High School’s culinary students wares closer to home at the Dolphin Bistro on campus, check out one of these events: Friday, Jan. 31: Panini night from 4 to 8 p.m. Beef and cheddar, “Cubanito,� Southwest chicken sandwiches served with bistro fries.

Friday, Feb. 7: Wing night in various flavors — Buffalo with bleu crumbles; garlic and parmesan; grilled honey jerk, mesquite barbecue, Thai curry with coconut, chili lime; and Old Bay butter.

Served with fries and pasta salad. $15.

Friday, Feb. 14: Valentine’s Day dinner at the bistro from 4 to 8 p.m. Enjoy three courses — lobster bisque; coq au vin, London broil or pan-seared chicken medallions; and chocolate torte and gelato. $25.

Friday, Feb. 28: Great Bowls of Fire Chili Cookoff from 4 to 8 p.m. at Dolphin Bistro. It’s $10 to compete, and $15 to taste. Sides will be provided. Proceeds benefit the Pro Start Culinary Arts program at MHS.

staggering number of folks turned out for the fourth annual Coconut Crawl organized by the Key Colony Beach Community Association (KCBCA). Honestly, organizers had to run back to the office and print out more poker forms to meet the needs of the 150 or so participants of this past weekend’s event that raised better than $2,500 for the Marathon campus of the FKSPCA animal shelter. Many of these fun-loving, generous souls donated their winnings back to the shelter. Thank you!

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.

WEEKLY INTERVIEW

MARATHON WEEKLY / JANUARY 30, 2020

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?

Gary Dunn, two-time Super Bowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers, shows off his ring while sitting at the OceanView Inn and Sports Pub, which he owns. Dunn played 12 seasons from 1976-87. JIM McCARTHY/Keys Weekly

CHATTIN' WITH THE CHAMP JIM McCARTHY

jim@keysweekly.com

Steelers’ Dunn talks football career, Super Bowl

I

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.’”

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

51

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, 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.

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.
