arsella Munoz is not your typical 16-year-old at Key West High School. While she spends some of her time studying, reading, hanging out with friends and volunteering in her community, the junior also has been training as a scientific diver working on the cutting edge of coral reef science.

It’s this work that earned the local teen a trip to the nation’s capital as

Congresswoman Debbie MucarselPowell’s special guest at the 2020 State of the Union address on Feb. 4, when Munoz represented the youth of Key West, Monroe County and the entire state of Florida.

In addition to attending the address, Munoz was asked to discuss the state of the marine environment here in Florida.

Mucarsel-Powell’s team asked the Monroe County School District to recommend a student for the honor.

Marsella Munoz, 16, a local Key West High School student, was selected to attend the 2020 State of the Union Address in Washington D.C. as Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell’s special guest.

KRISTIANA HEATH/Contributed Marsella

“They wanted to find an environmentally conscious student to represent District 26,” said an excited Munoz, who was selected based on her four years of experience with a program called DiveN2Life, which has enabled Munoz to monitor coral disease, collect and process water samples, attend scientific conferences and coordinate a research study on Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease as a scientific research diver-in-training.

The student received her invitation the afternoon of Jan. 29. “At first, I was in disbelief. And then I called everyone who helped me get to this point to share the good news,” she said, acknowledging ahead of time that she was getting nervous “to be given such an influential platform to share my work and message about the need to improve Florida’s water quality and protect the only coral reef in the continental United States.”

“The coral reef is the most biodiverse ecosystem in the ocean,” she Continued on page 11.

hen it comes to wardrobes, we don’t associate the Keys with much more than bathing suits, board shorts and sundresses.

But there are always those rare few weeks of chilly temps when the locals look like they’re living in the tundra. No joke. Look around the next time the temperature dips below 70 and you could very well see someone scootering down the boulevard in a scarf, gloves and something that resembles a snowsuit. Some of us islanders embrace the temperature change, but it seems the majority would prefer to complain about it on Facebook while wishing their apartment had a fireplace.

So we want to know…

What do you think of Key West’s “winter?”

TRAFFIC TROUBLE COMMISSION CONSIDERS 6-MONTH FREEZE ON NEW RENTAL VEHICLES

A

s of press time on Feb. 5, the Key west City Commission was poised to consider a proposal by Mayor Teri Johnston that the city enact a moratorium for at least 180 days, effectively freezing applications for franchises or business licenses, from companies that plan to rent motorized commercial vehicles for use on city streets.

Johnston told the Key West Weekly early in the day on Feb. 5, while she was on her way back from Florida Keys Day in Tallahassee, that the electric bikes are her biggest concern, specifically the self-serve businesses that enable customers to lock and leave a rental bike wherever they finish with it. The locking is done via smartphone app.

“This was prompted by the numerous requests we’ve been getting from people who want to bring in these franchises for these electric bikes and scooters,” Mayor Johnston said. “I’ve been reaching out to other cities and other mayors to find out what others are doing about these vehicles. I understand these e-bikes are a costeffective way for residents to get around, but I believe our sidewalks are simply not wide enough to accommodate the influx of such rental vehicles. I see them in other cities left all over the sidewalks and piled up alongside the street. And I think we need to discuss whether that’s something we can handle. We’re just too congested already. We want to make the right decision that will allow us to draft the right guidelines.”

Key West Mayor Teri Johnston has proposed a 180-day freeze on any new businesses wishing to rent motorized commercial vehicles, including electric bikes and cars. KEY WEST HISTORIC SEAPORT/Contributed

Johnston called the Key West Weekly back later in the day to clarify the proposed moratorium.

“I wanted to clarify after speaking with (City Attorney) Shawn Smith that this proposal would also affect all commercial motorized rental vehicles, including electric cars,” Johnston said. “If the proposal passes, then there will be a six-month delay on businesses applying for a license to operate in the city on city streets.”

Also on tap for the Feb. 5 City Commission meeting was the hiring of a new assistant city attorney, Nathalia Mellies.

And finally, Commissioner Sam Kaufman wants city officials to urge the County Commission to “work cooperatively with the Key West Housing Authority to ensure the continued operation of the senior living facility known as Poinciana Gardens.”

Kaufman wants to emphasize that “the facility should be widely accessible, especially to persons in lower income categories,” as the “City Commission finds that senior citizens and disabled residents need this facility to succeed to allow them to stay home in Key West, close to friends, family and familiar surroundings, while receiving the type of assistance they need to live a full life.”

The meeting took place after press time on Feb. 5. Visit KeysWeekly.com on Thursday for a full report from the City Commission meeting.

GOVERNOR COMES BEARING GIFTS DeSantis announces millions for Keys projects

F

lorida Governor Ron DeSantis spent the morning of Jan. 30 in Key West — or technically, on Stock Island — where he announced a $36 million grant for the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority to overhaul its water desalination plant on Stock Island.

Fifty or so city and county officials and administrators, utility executives and media representatives gathered at 11 a.m. at the water utility’s plant on Stock Island’s Front Street to hear from DeSantis as well as Ken Lawson, executive director of the state’s Department of Economic Opportunity.

Lawson detailed the mission and successes of the Rebuild Florida program that aims to help Floridians rebuild or replace homes that were destroyed or severely damaged in Hurricane Irma in September 2017.

“We have more than $90 million coming to the Florida Keys through Rebuild Florida,” Lawson said. “We’ve secured $35 million for affordable workforce housing and we’re not finished yet. The bottom line is, stand by the governor. We’ll do things the right way to help Floridians recover from these storms.”

Lawson acknowledged some of the delays and frustrations “because of the federal government and a lot of red tape.”

In answering a few questions from local media outlets following the announcement, DeSantis said he had not yet decided whether he will veto a bill that would prevent municipalities like the city of Key West from banning the sale of certain types of sunscreen.

“I haven’t finished looking at the sunscreen bill, and I haven’t made a decision,” DeSantis said. ”We also have to look at the science behind it, and we want to be sure, from a public health standpoint, that we’re not sending a message saying not to use sunscreen.”

The governor last year supported Key West by vetoing a bill that would have prevented the city from banning single-use plastic straws. But the sunscreen bill could be different.

In other news...

The governor also announced that the City of Key West was awarded $1.7 million for wastewater pipeline repairs and that the City of Marathon was being awarded $6.2 million for wastewater pump station and chemical feed repairs.

Key West City Manager Greg Veliz said the city likely will use the money to repair the Fleming Key bridge and put utility lines underwater. The bridge has been besieged by boat strikes in the past year.

The majority of the money for Marathon — $2.9 million — will go toward a citywide monitoring system for vacuum stations. It will be a combination of hardware and software and put out to bid soon. As it stands now, if there is a problem with one of the vacuum stations, it is up to the resident to make a call to the utilities department.

“It will be proactive monitoring,” said Dan Saus, the city’s utility director.

“We will know before you do that there is a problem. We can have a technician out there right away.”

An additional $1.5 million will be spent on equipment to filter out spikes in the electrical feed to the sewer plants. Saus said the machinery will “filter” brownouts and blackouts that can take a toll on the sewer system.

The rest of the grant will be spent on raising equipment out of the flood zone.

“This was a wish list of mitigation items we wanted,” Saus said. “With these improvements, Marathon will have the most advanced wastewater system that I have ever seen, or even know about.”

TODAY’S TALK SHOWS...

E

PODCASTING FINDS ITS PLACE IN PARADISE

veryone’s doing it.

From Dr. Phil and Bill Burr to Shaquille O’Neal and Alec Baldwin.

So what’s all the fuss, and what the hell is a podcast, anyway?

The term comes from a combination of the words iPod (remember those digital music players that preceded everyone’s smartphones and Spotify accounts?) and the word “broadcasting.”

Once largely confined to the realm of the ultra-hip tech crowd, podcasting has been growing exponentially in the past five years.

As of this month, there are more than 820,000 of these internet talk radio shows that cover all topics from politics to parenting, music to murder mysteries. Much of the popularity stems from the ability to save or download a podcast episode and listen later, with no need to be there for the live broadcast.

And at least three of those podcasts are coming from both ends of the Florida Keys.

Lisa Malcom is a Key West-based marketing and business consultant. In recent months she has expanded her resume to include “podcast producer,” having completed a comprehensive course on producing, recording and editing her new podcast, “Kick in the Yes.” But Malcom’s biggest thrill is interviewing guests for her 20-minute (give or take) episodes that are relatable to her listeners and have dealt with real-life, realworld decisions and decided to embrace the “yes” rather than remaining in their comfort zones, which aren’t always that comfortable.

“This show features real stories of success in life, love and business. Are you ready to break through the barriers keeping you from moving forward with passion and purpose? This is no time to listen to naysayers or wonder if it’s even possible to let what you love be what you do. It’s time for a kick in the yes. Join me, Lisa Malcom, a believer in you, as I connect you to the unstoppables — the go-getters, the change-makers and the ones who took a chance on living their best life by

doing what they love. If you’re ready to hear real stories and aha moments from everyday success stories, Kick in the Yes is the show for you.”

Malcom has interviewed everyone from a Colorado hemp farmer to a Key West newspaper editor, and the responses she has received from complete strangers have been beyond encouraging, she said.

Upper Keys podcasters Melinda and Ryan Van Fleet echo Malcom’s sentiments about any time she hears from a listener she’s never met.

Melinda Van Fleet has been hosting the weekly podcast Good Karma Success Coach since April 2019, while Ryan launched Good Karma Sportfishing podcast to coincide with his charter fishing business a bit earlier, in August 2018.

“It’s been an amazing learning experience,” the Van Fleets both said, emphasizing that the most important key to successful podcasting is consistency.

“The average podcast doesn’t last more than seven episodes,” Melinda said.

“And it takes a commitment, but we really enjoy it and in Ryan’s case it’s been an incredible tool to help his primary business.”

Neither the VanFleets nor Malcom are selling ads or sponsorships on their podcasts, a personal decision that’s based on goals and motivations.

Lisa Malcom

Melinda and Ryan Van Fleet

Ryan offers five-minute tackle tips and longer fishing stories about what’s in season, and what was biting on his previous charter.

“It’s amazing to see where our listeners come from: Australia, Afghanistan, South America, you name it,” he said. “And it feels great to make a personal connection with someone who really likes what we’re doing.”

The VanFleets attribute their success to the Podcasters’ Paradise online class for beginners.

A quick Google search will turn up Malcom’s Kick in the Yes (kickintheyes. com) and the Van Fleets’ Good Karma Success Coach and Good Karma Sportfishing.

TIBETAN MONKS PERFORM ANIMAL LIBERATION CEREMONY, RELEASE SEA TURTLE

SACRED SEND-OFF D

rifter, a sub-adult loggerhead sea turtle, was released back to the sea in sacred style. He was rescued last November when he was found floating and unable to dive off Bahia Honda. After three months of rehabilitation at the Turtle Hospital, including rounds of antibiotics, fluids, vitamins and a healthy diet, Drifter came to the Islander for one final blessing. Tibetan Monks visiting the Keys from the Drepung Gomang

monastery in India performed an animal liberation ceremony for Drifter before releasing him back to his home. Bette Zirkelbach, manager at the Turtle Hospital, called the ceremony “a sacred experience” and unlike anything she had participated in before. She said, “The cadence of the chanting monks reverberated within and around us with such a beautiful energy, bringing a sense of inner peace. It was a perfect send-off for Drifter, one I will not soon forget.”

une Klausing was one of the founders, 37 years ago, of the annual Wesley House Valentine’s Day Gala that takes place each year at the Curry Mansion Inn. June and her late husband, Jean Klausing, who was an iconic general manager at Sloppy Joe’s Bar for decades, were close friends with Al and Edith Amsterdam, who owned the Curry Mansion. June Klausing also managed the legendary Key West Hand Print Fabrics.

The two couples created the fundraising gala in an effort to help Wesley House help children and families in the Florida Keys.

Klausing continues to be a part of the annual gala, but that’s not all. At 85 years old, she remains an active class act around town.

She also paints and collects original artwork as well.

On Saturday, Feb. 8, Klausing will sponsor an estate art sale to benefit local scholarship programs.

The art sale will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Curry Mansion Inn, 511 Caroline St., Key West.

It will feature 35 original paintings by Key West artist Rick Worth and 40 paintings by Klausing herself. Prices will range from $20 to $150 and only cash and checks will be accepted.

Klausing will donate all proceeds from the sale to Key West Student Scholarship Programs.

MILES TO GO

MANDY MILES has been living in and writing about Key West and the Florida Keys since 1998. She lives in Old Town with her husband, Capt. Stan Miles, a longtime charter fisherman.

WORDS DON’T ALWAYS WORK

I

love words.

Love them.

Since I was about 5 years old and discovered I was no good at math, I’ve relished any chance to move words around; to make them sound good together and ensure they convey the precise tone and sentiment I’m seeking.

That said, there are some serious insufficiencies in the English language.

In many instances, we need some better, stronger, more descriptive or increasingly specific words and phrases.

For example, the word “love” is simply inadequate in many instances.

There's a superlative level, a higher degree, of love.

I’m sorry, but the word we use to describe our enthusiasm for a new sweater should not be the same one we use to describe our attachment to and connection with a child, parent, spouse or soulmate.

And speaking of love, my parents, Mary Ann and Bob Bolen, arrive on the island today (Thursday, Feb. 6) following a week-long road trip from the South Jersey Shore.

I absolutely love, cherish and adore my parents beyond belief, but again, “love” seems insufficient.

It’s the same with “thanks,” “gratitude” and “appreciation.”

I appreciate the person who watered our plants while we were away, but shouldn’t there be a stronger word to thank our parents for believing in us and providing us with every tool we’d ever need to be happy in life?

And finally, this one may tick off some folks, but I’m going to put it out there.

Those with Ph.Ds are NOT doctors. Newspapers don’t use the title “Dr.” to describe people with a doctorate.

Perhaps their academic achievements deserve acknowledgment in certain relevant circles, but maybe you don’t need to insist that everyone know and acknowledge your education level.

Don't you get tired of introducing yourself as “Dr. So and So,” only to have to backtrack and explain to the same person that you’re not, in fact, THAT type of doctor.

I understand it stems from the highest degree you earned. So perhaps we could eliminate centuries of confusion. Just assign yourselves the title of Ultimate, Uppermost or Summa, all-knowing, Scholar or Most Learned One. Anything but “doctor.”

In my mind, if you're not medically qualified to stand up on an airplane when someone asks, "Is there a doctor in the house?" then you shouldn’t call yourself “doctor.”

(Oh, and if you're OK with any of the above suggested alternatives, we probably shouldn’t hang out.)

But in the meantime, please join me in welcoming my folks back to Key West for the next three weeks. (And no, they don’t stay with Stan and me. They’ll be at the Southwinds Hotel. We want, after all, to ensure that the term “love” can still be used to describe our relationship during Week 2.) Welcome back, Mom and Dad! I love you more than my softest sweater and more than the word conveys.

PERKY’S BAT TOWER

KEY WEST HISTORY BRAD BERTELLI

www.keysweekly.com

A

minor tragedy associated with 2017’s Hurricane Irma was the destruction of Sugarloaf Key’s famous bat tower. The wooden tower stood as a testament to man’s struggle against the environment for decades before the eye of the hurricane crossed Cudjoe Key on Sept. 10. The tower had been built by Richter Clyde Perky, a real estate salesman working for Miami Beach’s Tatum Brothers before engaging in an investment opportunity in the Lower Keys in the 1920s.

By 1912, a small community of perhaps 100 had developed on Sugarloaf Key and become known as Chase, Florida. The community was named after Charles Chase, a Londoner who had partnered with his brother George and a friend named Henry Bate to purchase a Sugarloaf property where successful experimentation with commercial sponge cultivation had been occurring. The Chase team went on to develop The Florida Keys Sponge and Fruit Company. As well as commercially farming sponges in the shallows off of Sugarloaf Key, the company was growing Key lime trees.

17

The enterprise went bankrupt during World War I, when the company’s English financial backers diverted their funds to the war effort against Germany. Seeing an opportunity, Perky bought the failed company, as well as 23,000 acres of Monroe County property that included much of Sugarloaf Key. While he initially intended to try to reinvigorate the sponge and fruit business, the opening of State Road 4A in 1928, what would become known as the Overseas Highway, caused Perky to reconsider. Instead, he turned his eye to the burgeoning tourist industry and developed a fishing camp.

Perky had two ideas that he hoped would improve his business plan.

Both were implemented. First, he paid Monroe County to create a road that would connect his fish camp to State Road 4A. The highway’s original path skirted Sugarloaf Key and ran along the island’s Atlantic edge. The modern Overseas Highway, located much closer to what was once Perky’s fish camp, follows the right-of-way of Henry Flagler’s Over-Sea Railway.

Second, Perky attempted to address the area’s mosquito problem.

He had read about a man in Texas, Dr. Charles Campbell of San Antonio, who published a book called “Bats, Mosquitoes, and Dollars,” detailing the important role bats played in the control of mosquito populations. Campbell also promoted a bat tower of his own design. Several of the structures reportedly had already been constructed around Texas. Perky sent away for instructions. When his bat tower was completed, it was fitted with a plaque that read, “Dedicated to good health at Perky, Fla., by Mr. and Mrs. R.C. Perky, March 15, 1929.”

In addition to the building instructions, Perky sent away for a special blend of Dr. Campbell’s bat guano, advertised as a bat attractant. Perky even sent away for a supply of bats, though the Florida Keys are home to at least one species, the velvety freetailed bat. Perky placed the guano in the tower and then released the bats.

Unfortunately, the stench of the guano lasted longer than the bats which, upon release, simply flew off, off, and away from the tower.

While Perky’s fish camp disappeared decades ago (Perky died in 1940), Perky’s road, Sugarloaf Boulevard, is still a thoroughfare. Sadly, the bat tower, once one of the Keys’ unique roadside attractions and found in just about every guidebook written about the island chain, stands no longer.

FLORIDA KEYS DAY

KEY WEST WEEKLY / FEBRUARY 6, 2020

JIM McCARTHY

jim@keysweekly.com

T

ALLAHASSEE — Inside the Florida Capitol, leaders in the Keys — from the city of Key West to the Key Largo Wastewater District — walked the hallways to rooms where they met legislators, lobbyists and various agency officials. From home rule to affordable housing, Keys-related matters took center stage in Tallahassee on Feb. 4.

“I’m surprised with the size of this delegation,” Secretary of State Laura Lee said to the group. “And not everyone comes up with conch fritters and rum punch.”

The day-long advocacy event, known as Florida Keys Day, saw the Keys contingent convening with agency heads and lawmakers who shape policies affecting life in the Keys. Following a breakfast and a briefing with state Rep. Holly Raschein, who started Florida Keys Day as a Leadership Monroe County Class XVII project 10 years ago, the group proceeded to the Knott Building where they heard from cabinet members throughout the day. A brief meet-and-greet was held with House Speaker Jose Oliva. Later in the day, the group stood inside the Cabinet Room where they met none other than Gov. Ron DeSantis for a photo op.

The morning kicked off with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commissioner Robert Spottswood, who spoke on the challenges facing the protection of natural resources in the Keys. Spottswood says there are about 50 FWC officers in the Keys protecting the waters and the fishery, and they’re certainly stressed with a large area to cover.

With work underway to craft a budget, Spottswood says the hope is to add five officers in the Keys — and he knows that’s not nearly enough.

“We’re also looking at the cost of housing and the incredible burden it's placed on our folks coming in who are experiencing the highest cost of living in the state,” he said. “ We’re looking at the compensation levels. We’re aware of the need for more law enforcement out on the water. The common theme I hear is law enforcement is doing a good job, but there’s not enough out there.”

Spottswood also commented on the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary's Restoration Blueprint.

The first public comment period has come and gone as the sanctuary begins to review comments. Spottswood said FWC is asking the sanctuary to consider different alterna-

CAPITALIZING ON AN OPPORTUNITY Keys contingent takes to Tally

tives. The teams from the sanctuary and FWC met to go over the blueprint and comments.

“We expect to have a lot of giveand-take with them,” he said. “There’s going to be some things people won’t like and some people will.”

Spottswood said he’ll be asking the sanctuary for law enforcement assistance as well.

Following the lecture, a group ventured down to the governor’s cabinet room, where Monroe County Mayor Heather Carruthers took to the podium to relay support for the continued Area of Critical State Concern designation. It was subsequently approved.

“We’re also thrilled to be able to add canal restoration to our work plan because that’s sort of the last frontier in terms of water quality,” she said.

“We appreciate the support and look forward to cleaning up more water in the Keys.”

Monroe County leaders met with Oliva during Florida Keys Day. Carruthers and commissioners David Rice and Craig Cates, along with County Administrator Roman Gastesi and County Attorney Bob Shillinger, discussed the Land Acquisition Trust Fund and Stewardship Act funding.

Marathon leaders stuck to a busy schedule as they met with various senators, as well as the governor’s deputy chief of staff on issues of takings claims, vacation rentals and Keys Stewardship appropriations. Marathon City Manager Chuck Lindsey said the day was not only a great opportunity

to showcase the Keys in Tallahassee, but it was also extremely productive.

“Working collaboratively, our Marathon team spent the day meeting with key legislators gaining support for crucial items impacting the Florida Keys,” he said. “While it was an extremely productive day, it was bittersweet knowing that this will be our last session with Rep. Raschein and Sen. Flores at the helm as both have reached term limits.

Their hard work and support of the Keys has been profound and for that we are extremely grateful.”

Key West City Manager Greg Veliz said his day of meetings went well.

Affordable housing was one of the big issues he stressed.

“It’s great to come up here and meet with them, but we can’t just stop there,” he said. “We have to keep on it.”

Islamorada Mayor Mike Forster emphasized the importance of the

Area of State Critical Concern designation and the unique and specific requests to the issues faced throughout the island chain.

“Be it compensation for civil servants, teachers in order for retainment, to vacation rentals and sharing the cost of the 2023 end of ROGO, we need the state to partner with us to remain the great donor county that helps set the standards of sustainability and a fair balance of tourism and waterbased lifestyle that we have all come to enjoy,” he said.

Leaders from Key Colony Beach had several private meetings throughout the day. City Administrator Chris Moonis said the group met with state Sen. Anitere Flores to discuss home rule and vacation rentals. They also sat down with the Office of Resiliency and Coastal Protection.

The Keys group also had the opportunity to hear from Noah Valenstein, Department of Environmental Protection secretary, who lauded the response to coral disease; Jimmy Patronis, chief financial officer; Ashley Moody, attorney general, who spoke briefly on confronting human traffickers and cybercriminals; and Ken Lawson, Department of Economic Opportunity executive director, who spoke briefly on Visit Florida as well as Rebuild Florida. Lawson noted the program that aims to help people recover from Irma has been slow. One project is underway with eight pending. Four hundred awards still await action.

“For us, how do you make it faster?

For us, how do you replace these mobile homes? What’s the right way to do it?”

Following a day of meetings and talks, Keys leaders met with staff and leaders outside the Capitol Building for a little rum punch, conch fritters, Key lime popsicles and music from John Bartus.

Rep. Holly Raschein stands in front of her seat inside the House Chamber.

T

he College of the Florida Keys recently honored W. Jean Mauk, vice president of finance and administrative services, who retired at the end of the January after working at the college for 24 years.

On Jan. 28, the school’s board of trustees presented Mauk with a resolution of appreciation, and on Jan. 31, colleagues, board members and friends gathered on the Key West campus to celebrate her contributions to the school.

Mauk started her career at the college in 1996 as the controller. She was promoted to dean of finance and administrative services in 2006.

Although she first retired in 2007, Mauk returned to the college in 2011 as vice president of business and administrative

services. She also taught financial accounting.

During her tenure, Mauk has ensured the college’s strong financial standing, the college said. She has overseen major upgrades in technology as well as the completion of several construction projects including Lagoon Landing residence hall, the marine technology building, and the recovery from Hurricane Irma.

“Her dedication, attention to detail and knowledge has allowed the college to maintain a strong fiscal position and good facilities despite the lack of state funding to support our enterprise,” said Jonathan Gueverra, the college president.

“We thank her for her exemplary leadership and wish her the best in her retirement.”

K

ey West history smolders on stage when The Studios of Key West presents the Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Anna in the Tropics,” Feb. 19-29, with shows Wednesdays through Saturdays.

Written by Cuban-American playwright Nilo Cruz, the story is set against the backdrop of a Key West cigar factory during Prohibition.

Though the original script is set in Ybor City (Tampa), The Studios adapted it for Key West with permission from Cruz. The play recalls the tradition of el lector, a person hired to educate and entertain the Cuban factory workers by reading to them while they rolled cigars.

As the play opens, there’s much to celebrate with the arrival of the dashing new lector, Juan Julian. But when he reads Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina,” the novel sets workers’ imaginations aflame, opening a door to romance, chaos and violence.

“The play is perfect for Key West audiences; it celebrates the cultural history of Cuban immigrants and an era of tropical nights shrouded in cigar smoke,” said director Dennis Zacek.

At one point in history, Key West was known as the cigar manufacturing capital of the world, producing 100 million hand-rolled cigars each year.

“Like some of Key West’s most beloved art and architecture, this play depicts a part of the island’s heritage,” says Elena Devers, deputy director of The Studios. “It beautifully illustrates a time when cigars were rolled by hand and lectors were an essential part of Key West’s vitality.”

The cast includes Christian Haler, Mira Negron, Francesca Silva, Mathias Maloff, Aramis Ikatu and Daniel T. Bochlas and Nayem Cardenas-Lopez.

Ticket prices range from $45 to $100 (Studios members receive a $10 discount.)

LOCAL FAMILY FIGHTS DISEASE THAT TOOK THEIR DAUGHTER

Carmen Lehmann Manning 1973-2007 MARTIN LEHMANN/ Contributed

S

cleroderma. If you think the rare disease is tough to pronounce, try battling it.

A Key West family has been doing just that since losing their daughter, Carmen Lehmann Manning, to scleroderma on Oct. 30, 2007.

The rare autoimmune disease tightens the skin throughout the body, so much that sufferers are unable to perform simple tasks.

“The pain in your joints is constant and at times unbearable. Your internal organs — lungs, intestines, stomach — lose elasticity, making every breath and meal a battle and a constant reminder of this rare disease. This is what happened to our daughter, our sister, our friend and our neighbor, Carmen Lehmann Manning,” said Manning’s father, Martin Lehmann, while preparing for the annual fundraiser that raises money for scleroderma support, education and research.

For the past seven years, Carmen’s Key West Crew has participated in the annual Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma fundraising walk, which is organized by the Southeast Florida

Chapter of the Scleroderma Foundation.

But for the past four years, before they head up to the mainland to walk, family and friends gather in Manning’s name to raise money at a Friday nonprofit happy hour at the Sidebar, 504 Angela St. This year’s fundraiser will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7 at Sidebar.

The event features raffles, a silent auction, food and happy hour drink specials.

“We’ll take all the proceeds with us to the Scleroderma Foundation Southeast Florida Chapter Walk on Saturday, Feb. 29,” Lehmann said.

He describes his daughter as a “classic Key West kid: went to St. Mary’s grade school, was a cheerleader and Conchette at Key West High, where she ended up being a teacher’s aide. It was all small-town, ‘Friday Night Lights’ stuff. Then she married a guy in the Navy, had our beautiful grandson and then … her life, our lives, were rocked by this rare autoimmune disease with an odd name, little treatment options and no cure. Her husband was in the Navy, so she was given outstanding care from Yale when they were stationed in Connecticut, to the Naval Hospital in San Diego, where she passed on Oct. 30, 2007.

t almost KILLED us not to be able to give locals a detailed headsup to watch the Super Bowl LIV halftime show. Eighteen students from Marathon High School were cast as “extras” around the stage featuring the high-energy moves and tunes of Shakira and Jennifer “JLo” Lopez during the halftime show.

“Shakira is amazing,” said MHS junior Mary Ryder. “This show has resurrected her visibility and she deserves the recognition. I was literally standing within touching distance.”

Thirteen members of MHS’ marching band and five cheerleaders had the opportunity to be part of the biggest show of the year. But they all signed very serious nondisclosure statements.

They couldn’t post anything on social media or risk being yanked from the show. The marching band director, Stanford Hancock, and cheerleading coach, Jamie Buyhoff, faced the same gag order.

Afterward, Hancock said it was an amazing opportunity for the kids.

“The cool thing was they got to see how real professionals behave in the workplace,” he said. “I am already seeing the cooperation and discipline pay off in the band room.”

In preparation, the Marathon kids participated in four eight-hour

rehearsals, considerably lengthened by a five-hour round trip from the Keys to the Hard Rock stadium in Miami.

Parents pitched in as chaperones and chauffeurs.

“It was exhausting and a big commitment, but super exciting,” said sophomore Kayla Sipe, a varsity cheerleader. “We saw the professional dancers up close and know what it takes to perform at the next level. We want to be like that, look like that.”

Stancock said the cast of extras spent most of the rehearsals learning where to stand as camera crews worked to position shots. The band group held static positions, but the cheerleaders parted to make room for the glowing cages featuring the young singers performing “Let’s Get Loud,” including JLo’s daughter, Emme Maribel Muñiz.

“I’ve gone back and watched a couple more halftime shows. Now I can really appreciate the amount of work that goes into it,” Hancock said.

The opportunity to perform originated in the Upper Keys with Gina Black, wife of attorney Scott Black.

They have two girls who are dancers and students at Coral Shores High School who auditioned for the show.

Gina Black said the organizers were looking for more kids, so she passed the word down to Marathon High School through her friend, teacher Christina Belotti.

Senior Matt Kratzert slipped on an honestto-God Super Bowl championship ring. Days later, he still had trouble putting the experience into words.

“Dexter Jackson played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and also was named the MVP of Super Bowl XXXVII,” said Kratzert. He also played for the Arizona Cardinals and Cincinnati Bengals.

“I really liked the ring.”

Kratzert worked the Washington Redskins table, Chase Taylor worked the Oakland Raiders table and Jordyn Wilson worked the San Francisco 49ers table. Each station featured an NFL great and a professional chef.

Wilson was also given a signed football from Jay Novacek of the Dallas Cowboys. The “taste” at her station featured Dungeness crab fried rice with sea urchin mayo. “We almost ran out,” she said. “A lot of people came up for third and fourth servings.”

Taylor had the opportunity to meet Dave “The Ghost” Casper and Tanya Holland, an author and chef of Brown Sugar Kitchen restaurant in Oakland, California.

The group also spent some time talking to celebrity television chefs Adam Richman (“Man vs. Food”) and Andrew Zimmern (“Bizarre Foods”).

The students, alongside culinary leader Chef Carl “Flavor” Stanton, participated as members of ProStart, a national organization that introduces youth to culinary arts and restaurant management. About 100 kids from across Florida took part in Taste of the NFL, which raises $2 million a year for food banks.

A ONE-DAY CITY ESCAPE

FASHION, CULTURE, ART AND HISTORY T oday is what a true New Yorker would call “brisk and beautiful” — painfully blue skies and temperatures in the mid-40s — and this South Florida gal has to agree. For years, I’ve traveled somewhat regularly to New York for that requisite cultural shot in the arm. It’s tough to break away from Key West in the height of season, but sometimes a necessary distraction is just that … necessary. The recent implementation of nonstop direct flights from Key West International Airport has made the possibility of quick cultural getaways more of a reality.

On my New York visits, I’ve walked miles through museums, caught experimental works, pop-ups and budding theatrical runs. In the deep, full art basket of New York though, genuine experiences don’t just bubble to the surface. No disrespect to the Whitney, but there’s just so much more.

Which is how I came to find myself on an invigorating walk across 125th in Harlem, strolling up to the Harriet Tubman Memorial (“Swing Low” by Alison Saar) to meet Mikaila Brown for the “Harlem Black Fashion Tour."

Brown is more than a local ambassador to one of the last few honest art scenes in the city (though she’s very good in that role).

She’s also a fashion designer, a cultural anthropologist with a doctorate from Columbia, and the creative development force behind the game-changing Common Thread Project.

The project aims to do for fashion what Anthony Bourdain did for cuisine — that is to say, make the unknown elements accessible and to humanize the whole endeavor. As Brown will tell you, “VanGogh, Gucci sneakers and female barbers aren’t nearly as unrelated as they seem. There are many reasons people wear what they wear, ranging from their abuella’s penchant for religious paraphernalia to international foreign policy.”

Erin Stover Sickmen with fashion legend Dapper Dan. CONTRIBUTED

Brown herself is impeccably styled, model-tall and insanely intelligent. She’d be truly intimidating if she wasn’t just so much damn fun. She starts her tour, chatting like an old friend and exuding an obvious enthusiasm for her topic. As we wander the blocks, she moves through distinct eras in Harlem’s history, starting with the Harlem Renaissance.

It’s a full-fledged sensory experience (or a “deep disco dive” to use Brown’s words) complete with historical photos on her tablet and nods to the architectural elements we pass.

In the 1920s, the arts exploded in the neighborhood as the Harlem Renaissance took hold. Early arrivals from the Great Migration, a roughly 50-year period during which Black Americans moved north and west to urban centers, created a cultural mecca. Imagine Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston writing their masterpieces, while Louis

Armstrong and Josephine Baker perform down the block. In fashion terms, the era is synonymous with finery and hats, above all, served as the defining style element of one’s identity. Our first stop is the embodiment of that period—the “Flamekeeper’s Hat Club,” so named as their mission is to pass “the torch of good taste from one generation to the next.” Floor-to-ceiling displays of hats radiate classic elegance in wool and cotton, with twists of colorful contemporary fashion sprinkled throughout, while the gorgeous shop, all lacquered wood and brick, echoes 1920s sophistication.

As we move toward the next shop and the next era, the Civil Rights Movement, Brown discusses the rise of zoot suits — colorful loose-fitting jackets with wide lapels.

Aside from straightforward style, these suits served as an important symbol of cultural resistance and social justice. In the 1940s, the US War Production Board regulated dyes (dark colors were cheapest) and fabric (an expensive import), encouraging men to wear dark, slim fit suits in an effort to aid the war effort. Black men in Harlem had grown tired of their marginalized status and saw the imposition on personal style as an affront. Zoot suits became a form of cultural capital, a way of asserting independence and commanding attention.

Brown steers the end of the tour into more recent history with a discussion of the rise of hip-hop fashion in the 1980s and 90s, specifically Guy and Sharene Wood, who rose to prominence with their brand “5001 Flavors” when they helped develop the iconic style of Notorious B.I.G. The pair then went on to design for a subsequent scroll of music and fashion heavies. Their shop, Harlem Haberdashery, is adorned with lush fabrics, dark walls and a gallery worth of classic black and white photos.

After trying on some looks fit for someone much cooler than I, we wander back outside only to run into fashion legend Dapper Dan. In the 1980s, Dapper Dan

struggled to find a foothold in fashion as many vendors refused to do business with him due to his race and his location. Not one to be deterred, he burst onto the fashion scene in the 1980s when he began creating bold mash-ups of bootleg fabrics, coupled with his own printed textiles. He carved a turbulent path through the subsequent decades, working with hip-hop royalty, sometimes “underground” as he fought litigation from fashion giants like Fendi. Ultimately, he came out on top and now has his own atelier in partnership with Gucci — not in Paris, as is the standard, but in Harlem. As we part ways, he tells me how lucky I am to get a personal tour from Brown. It’s the one thing I’ve heard today that I can honestly say I already knew.

HAVE YOU HEARD? 4 LOCALS LAUNCH KEY WEST RECORD LABEL

Founders of Key West’s new record label, Conch Town Music — Danny Hughes, Ian Shaw, Ralph De Palma and Mat Smith — celebrate the new venture. CONTRIBUTED

S

ometime each night, between the requisite “Sweet Caroline” and “Wagon Wheel,” a quiet offer comes from musicians on local stages.

“Here’s a little something I wrote. I hope you like it.”

That’s when the magic happens. And four local pros recently created a new venture to help those musicians sell themselves and their songs, ensuring that the artists can make money in addition to music.

Calling themselves The Gents, Two Friends owner Danny Hughes, record producer Ian Shaw, engineer Mat Smith and photographer Ralph De Palma recently launched a Key West record label called Conch Town Music.

“By the time a local singer/songwriter writes music, rehearses it, records it and then plays enough gigs to live in Key West, there is no time to market their work. And that’s a shame, because some truly great original music rarely escapes the confines of Key West,” Hughes said. “We’re a true record label in the sense that we represent the artist and help market their music.”

Conch Town Music already has signed local blues legend Bill Blue and Americana musician Juliana MacDowell, both of whom had albums “in the can,” that hadn’t been released or marketed.

“We had launch-ready music ready to go from the start,” said Shaw, an accomplished record producer and recording engineer

from the UK, who owns Warm Fuzz Records and now operates a successful local recording studio.

More to come...

Key West’s live music scene is notable both for its degree of talent and the number of live music venues.

“There are 55 such venues on an 8-square-mile island,” said De Palma, the fourth corner of the Conch Town Music foursome.

He would know. A talented music photographer, De Palma makes music look as good as it sounds and has spent time in every one of those 55 venues. He has compiled hundreds of images into three photography books, two volumes of “The Soul of Key West,” and one new volume, “The Soul of Havana.”

It’s go time...

The team is in place, the first two musicians are signed and records are being recorded and released.

Marketing has begun for Bill Blue’s latest album, “King of Crazy Town,” which will launch March 6, while MacDowell’s “Leaving Home” will drop March 13. But there’s no need to wait when free downloads are available at BillBlue.online and JulianaMacDowellMusic.com.

“Also in the works is a performance by MacDowell at the Sunday Ramble Concert Series on Feb. 23 at the Key West Theater, just prior to her album launch,” Hughes said.

“And while we don’t want to tip our hand, the Gents – as the Conch Town Music partners call ourselves – are pretty damn happy with how things are going.”

Conch Town Music represents singer Juliana MacDowell and blues legend Bill Blue and will release their next album in March. RALPH DE PALMA/Contributed

Since signing with Conch Town Music, Bill Blue has gotten airplay in France, Belgium, Italy, Holland, Australia and Tasmania of all places; as well as all over the U.S., Hughes said, adding that MacDowell’s promotion is starting to gain momentum as well.

So, what, or who, is next?

“That is going to be a tough decision,” Smith said.. “We can’t work everyone at once, but how do you say ‘no’ to a truly talented singer/songwriter?”

“We need to get Bill’s and Juliana’s programs right, and we’ll worry about who’s next later,” Shaw said.

In the meantime, Hughes hopes everyone who reads this and other articles about Conch Town Music and local musicians will share the article and the musicians’ sites with everyone they know who loves music, Key West or both.

“Wouldn’t it be the ultimate in ‘cool’ for Key West to become known as a live music town that despite its small size has the same horsepower, talent-wise, as Austin, New York, Chicago, LA, and Nashville? Yeah, that would be really cool.”

POWER OF LOVE DON’T LET POWER OUTAGES BALLOON AFTER VALENTINE’S DAY

V

alentine’s Day is a popular holiday for Mylar/metallic balloon sales. Not surprisingly, it is also the same day utilities across the country experience numerous balloon-related power outages.

Since 2010 Keys Energy Services’ (KEYS) customers have experienced nearly 40 power outages directly caused by balloons or kites.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, on Friday, Feb. 14, Keys Energy Services reminds its customers that Mylar/metallic balloons that are allowed to drift away can land on power lines and in electrical substations, potentially disrupting the lives of thousands of people.

“Our job is to keep the lights on and we’ll do a better job of that if we can keep Mylar/metallic balloons from contacting our lines,” said Lynne Tejeda, Keys Energy’s general manager and CEO. “We ask that our customers show good judgment and never release a Mylar/metallic balloon outside,” she added.

The utility recommends the following safety tips for handling Mylar/metallic balloons: Keep Mylar/metallic balloons indoors and never release them outside.

Secure helium-filled balloons with a weight heavy enough to prevent them from drifting away.

Never tie a balloon to a child’s wrist. If the balloon comes in contact with electricity, the electricity could flow through the balloon to the child, which could cause serious injury or death.

Never attach metallic streamers/string to a balloon.

When the celebration is over, puncture the balloon in several places and dispose of it to keep it safely away from power lines and electrical equipment. Partially-inflated balloons can easily become airborne.

Do not attempt to retrieve a balloon, or any object, tangled in power lines. Instead call KEYS at (305) 295-1010 to report the problem.

driving.

Jeffrey James Holroyd was charged with fleeing and eluding.

No serious injuries were reported.

Deputy Zachary Eason was on patrol on Big Pine Key at 3:32 a.m. when he saw a white pickup truck traveling north at about 80 mph in a 35 mph zone on U.S. 1 near MM 31.

Eason attempted a traffic stop but the truck continued north before eventually going off the highway, over an embankment and sidewalk and onto Avenue A. The truck then made a left turn onto Father Tony Way, at which point Eason saw a male passenger leap out the passenger side of the truck. Deputy Eason radioed that information to other inbound deputies. The truck continued until stopping near Avenue D. The driver, identified as Holroyd, was arrested. He declined to speak with deputies.

The passenger was found hiding under a trailer between Avenue A and Avenue B. The 26-year-old passenger said he and Holroyd were coming from Coconuts Bar & Liquor Store and were in a hurry to get home. The passenger said he feared for his safety as he thought Holroyd had a firearm in the truck, so he jumped.

No firearm was found in the truck. The passenger was not arrested. Holroyd was taken to jail.

BEGINNER’S SKILL..

FIRST-TIMER WINS PAELLA COOK-OFF

W

e at Keys Weekly have for a long time considered how to best honor the men and women serving in the military. With the help and advice of our community members in the armed forces, we’re thrilled to present our Military Spotlight.

SFC CARLOS A. MUNIZ U.S. ARMY Why did you join the military? It had been a dream of mine since I was a little kid. A friend of the family gave me my first “ranks” to wear as a little soldier. If I was born again, I think I would make the same choice. The Army has given me the opportunity to positively impact other people’s lives.

How many years have you served in the military? I have a total of 17 years in the military. Thirteen of those on active duty. I have two breaks in service.

Had you ever been to Key West or the Florida Keys before your current assignment? This is our first time stationed in Key West, and it is the best duty station to which we have been assigned.

Did you choose Key West or were you just assigned here?

I waited for Key West to come open for over a year. When I received the news, I had to read the email twice.

What were your first thoughts upon hearing you were coming to the Keys?

Excitement! We love the water and could not wait to get here.

Hobbies? I am a barber, but I also like to fish, play softball, cook and spend time with the family.

Favorite things to do? Take the boat out to the sandbars around the Lower Keys with my family.

Have you ever attended Fantasy Fest and if so what were your initial thoughts? This is my second year here, and I have attended Fantasy Fest both years. My favorite part of the festivities is the Zombie Bike Ride.

What do you like most about your assignment? The positive effect we have in the region and especially in our country. We save lives behind the scenes every day.

Paella Cook-Off winner Nick Meyer celebrates his crowning glory at the Little White House on Feb. 4. JOHNNY WHITE/Contributed

R

ecord crowds showed up to sample the merits of six chefs’ version of the storied Spanish rice dish known as paella (pronounced PIEay-uh) Tickets for the event included on-site hand-rolled cigars, wines from Key West Fine Wines, music by Martina Bevis and a raffle.

Nick Meyer won first place, Fred Varela came in second and Scott Goldstein placed third.

“I took the contest seriously and followed strict protocol, sharpening my attention with the aid of a fine wine,” Meyer said. “It was important that the wine be Spanish (at first).”

Six teams participated in the event, and each was required to set up its own gear. The cook-off coincided with a plein air art show featuring works created on the grounds of the Little White House.

The mood was so festive that a spontaneous auction erupted with proceeds benefiting preservation efforts for the historic Southern mansion.

“We’re thrilled with the turnout,” said Maxine McGlone, operations manager, “and we hope to raise the visibility of this important historic landmark by creating more fun family events here. I find it incredible that so many people, including locals, have never visited this amazing place and we’re working hard to change all that. How often does anyone actually experience the way an American president lived?”

Although President Harry S Truman’s famous “winter white house” in Key West is now a museum, it still provides a retreat for the nation's leaders. The Truman Little White House is also available to host private events year round.

More information is available from Jeanna Garrido at 305294-9911.

What would you change about living here in Key West if you had the power to do so? I would more strongly enforce traffic violations. Some people drive very irresponsibly around here.

Nick Meyer keeps a close eye on what would become his winning paella masterpiece.

PROSECUTOR POLITICS

CONGRESSWOMAN HONORS FLORIDA’S OLDEST BLACK CHURCH

KOHL ENTERS STATE ATTORNEY RACE

Dennis Ward

A

Mark Kohl

familiar contest is shaping for the Keys’ top prosecutor’s job between incumbent State Attorney Dennis Ward and a familiar challenger: Mark Kohl.

Like two seasoned prizefighters, the two Republicans will return to the political ring this campaign season.

Ward and Kohl will face each other in the Republican primary, and the victor in that contest will face the Democrat Donald Barrett, a Key West attorney, in the general election. All three candidates have worked in the state attorney’s office.

The campaign preceding the Republican primary likely will emerge as the true battleground in this race, as Ward and Kohl have traded jabs, barbs and outright insults for more than a decade.

Kohl was state attorney in 2008, when Ward defeated him. Both ran again In 2012, with Ward seeking re-election and Kohl wanting his old job back.

Catherine Vogel defeated both men, and then hired Kohl, her professional ally, to run the office as executive director.

Four years later, in 2016, Ward ran again and defeated Vogel.

Donald Barrett

Kohl has said that concerns about Ward’s management of the state attorney’s office prompted him to enter the race. As an example, Kohl points to the forced resignation of former prosecutor Colleen Dunne, who faces a year’s suspension of her law license for failing to provide evidence to a defense attorney representing a man being tried for attempted murder.

Although Barrett was Dunne’s supervisor at the time, Ward was the top dog.

“You lead from the top,” Kohl has said repeatedly.

All three candidates — Ward, Kohl and Barrett — have filed the proper campaign paperwork with Florida’s Department of State, Division of Elections. State Attorney is one position that is handled by the state’s election office, not the county’s, said Supervisor of Elections Joyce Griffin.

U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell on Jan. 18 presents Rev. Rochelle Pearson with the proclamation for Key West’s Cornish Memorial AME Zion Church. CONTRIBUTED

.S. Rep. Debbie MucarselPowell, whose district includes the Florida Keys, recently honored Key West’s Cornish Memorial AME Zion Church on Whitehead Street with a Congressional Recognition for the church’s 155th anniversary.

Named for and founded by freed slave Sandy Cornish, the church’s wooden rafters are said to have been built from the timbers of slave ships.

“The church serves as a landmark in Key West and as a historical site,” the recognition proclamation states. “Its slave ship rafters and beautiful windows represent an important but painful time in our history that we must never forget.

The front stained-glass window is said to be the eye of God overlooking the city of Key West.”

In reading the proclamation, Mucarsel-Powell told her colleagues in the House, “I rise today to commemorate the life of Sandy Cornish as well as the Cornish A.M.E. Zion Church and its 155 years of service to our community and constituents of Key West.”

The church has served in the past as part of Frederick Douglass School and has provided shelter to residents during hurricanes.

Sandy Cornish had been a slave in Maryland before the Civil War, but eventually was able to pay

$1,500 for his freedom and another $1,500 for that of his wife, Lillah.

The free black couple then embarked on a journey to Key West, but stopped first in Louisiana, where their freedom papers were destroyed in a fire and slave traders started hunting Cornish to sell him back into slavery.

“Sandy Cornish became famous because he maimed himself in order to avoid being returned to a life of slavery,” said Rev. Rochelle Pearson, the first female pastor of Cornish Memorial AME Zion Church, which Cornish founded at 702 Whitehead St. in Key West 155 years ago.

“He stood in the middle of a town square and cut ligaments in his leg and cut off one of his thumbs to make himself less useful to slave owners,” Pearson said, adding that the couple eventually found their way to Key West.

“Cornish wasn’t an ordained preacher, but he would orate, or read the scriptures to his congregation, and bring in other ministers to preach, including Frederick Douglass,” said Pearson.

Cornish was able to buy some farmland in Key West and became the richest black man in Key West by selling his produce to both Union and Confederate forces during the Civil War, said Pearson.

The DEP South District Office is the Permitting Authority responsible for making a permit determination for this project.

The Permitting Authority’s physical address is: DEP South District, 2295 Victoria Avenue, Suite 364, Fort Myers, Florida 33902..

The complete project file includes the draft permit, the Statement of Basis, the application, and the information submitted by the applicant, exclusive of confidential records under Section 403.111, F.S. Interested persons may view the draft permit by visiting the following website: https://fldep.dep.state. fl.us/air/emission/apds/default. asp and entering the permit number shown above. Interested persons may contact the Permitting Authority’s project review engineer for additional information at the address or phone number listed above.

Notice of Intent to Issue Permit: The Permitting Authority gives notice of its intent to issue a revised and renewed Title V air operation permit to the applicant for the project described above. The applicant has provided reasonable assurance that continued operation of the existing equipment will not adversely impact air quality and that the project will comply with all appropriate provisions of Chapters 62-4, 62-204, 62-210, 62-212, 62-213, 62-296 and 62-297, F.A.C. The Permitting Authority will issue a proposed permit and subsequent final permit in accordance with the conditions of the draft permit unless a response received in accordance with the following procedures results in a different decision or a significant change of terms or conditions.

Comments: The Permitting Authority will accept written comments concerning the draft Title V air operation permit for a period of 30 days from the date of publication of the Public Notice. Because this permitting project is also a revision to the existing Title V air operation permit, the revisions detailed in the Statement of Basis are the only portions of the permit that are open for public comment or challenge. Comments received related to the remainder of the permit will not be addressed during this permitting action.

Written comments must be received by the close of business (5:00 p.m.), on or before the end of this 30-day period by the Permitting Authority at the above address. As part of his or her comments, any person may also request that the Permitting Authority hold a public meeting on this permitting action. If the Permitting Authority determines there is sufficient interest for a public meeting, it will publish notice of the time, date, and location in the Florida Administrative Register (FAR). If a public meeting is requested within the 30-day comment period and conducted by the Permitting Authority, any oral and written comments received during the public meeting will also be considered by the Permitting Authority. If timely received written comments or

comments received at a public meeting result in a significant change to the draft permit, the Permitting Authority shall issue a revised draft permit and require, if applicable, another Public Notice. All comments filed will be made available for public inspection. For additional information, contact the Permitting Authority at the above address or phone number.

Petitions: A person whose substantial interests are affected by the proposed permitting decision may petition for an administrative hearing in accordance with Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the Public Notice or receipt of a written notice, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who asked the Permitting Authority for notice of agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the date of publication. A petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above, at the time of filing. A petition for administrative hearing must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received) with the Agency Clerk in the Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, Agency_Clerk@dep.state.fl.us, before the deadline. The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the approval of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C. A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Permitting Authority’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, any email address, telephone number and any facsimile number of the petitioner; the name, address, any email address, telephone number, and any facsimile number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how each petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and, (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which the Permitting Authority’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C. Because the administrative

hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Permitting Authority’s final action may be different from the position taken by it in this written notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Permitting Authority on the application have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.

Extension of Time: Under Rule 62-110.106(4), F.A.C., a person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the request for an extension of time.

Requests for extension of time must be filed with the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, or via electronic correspondence at Agency_ Clerk@dep.state.fl.us, the deadline for filing a petition for an administrative hearing. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running of the time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon.

Mediation: Mediation is not available in this proceeding.

Objections: Finally, pursuant to 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 7661d(b)(2), any person may petition the Administrator of the EPA within 60 days of the expiration of the Administrator’s 45-day review period as established at 42 U.S.C. Section 7661d(b)(1), to object to the issuance of any Title V air operation permit. Any petition shall be based only on objections to the permit that were raised with reasonable specificity during the 30-day public comment period provided in the Public Notice, unless the petitioner demonstrates to the Administrator of the EPA that it was impracticable to raise such objections within the comment period or unless the grounds for such objection arose after the comment period. Filing of a petition with the Administrator of the EPA does not stay the effective date of any permit properly issued pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 62-213, F.A.C.

REASONS TO SMILE!

WAYPOINT FOUNDATION FUNDRAISING TO BRING MOBILE DENTAL CLINIC TO THE KEYS

C

larice Yentsch and Wally Smith are on a mission to create healthy smiles in the Keys. They’re fundraising to get a mobile dental clinic — essentially a bus tricked-out with dental equipment and exam chairs — to travel between schools and provide high quality, free dental care to kids throughout Monroe County.

The unlikely pair — a biological oceanographer and an entrepreneurial dentist, respectively — collaborate through Yentsch’s private, not for profit foundation, the Waypoint Foundation (TWF).

“The mission of Waypoint is to celebrate human creativity,” said Yentsch. “We focus on education, exhibitions and collaborations to address unmet needs in the Florida Keys.”

Past foundation initiatives include music therapy, an exhibit on Vietnam by a veteran, and a collection of meaningful ways to say goodbye, written by a hospice worker.

The Mobile Smile Maker initiative advocates for critical dental resources for disadvantaged students. As part of the initiative, the foundation will host a dental health exhibit at Key Largo library the entire month of February as well as a Dental Fair on Feb. 14. The crux of the initiative is the mobile clinic itself.

The total cost to purchase a used, 2-operatory-chair mobile clinic is $125,000.

“Think about a blood-donation-mobile; that’s what they are like,” suggests Smith.

Smith is no stranger to mobile dental clinics. The dentist started and ran a similar, successful mobile clinic 20 years ago in rural North Carolina to take care of disadvantaged children. When Yentsch learned about Smith’s public service health background and history with mobile community dentistry, she immediately said, “That’s very cool. Let’s do something together.” A year later, Smith was brought on as the foundation’s official volunteer dental consultant to start up the Mobile Smile Maker initiative.

The need for such services is great, said Yentsch. “We only have 20 dentists here, and only one takes Medicaid. So, a lot of kids don’t get dental care. They aren’t being seen.”

Currently, local dental care for impoverished youths is limited to the Florida Keys Area Health Education Center Inc. (AHEC) dental sealant program. The program is limited, serving around 700 students a year and only seeing kids in the 2nd and 7th grades.

Smith articulates the problem with this system. “They can identify problems, but they can’t provide solutions,” he laments.

“They only do sealants, and then the parent has to find another dentist to do the work and that’s the hard part.”

Smith hopes to replicate his North Carolina success to serve way more kids every year with the mobile dental clinic. He adds, “The initial thrust will be to take care of the youngest kids first. If you can intercede with kids with dental problems early, you can save them from really complex problems later in life.”

AHEC will remain intimately involved.

Operationally, the foundation plans to turn over the reins to AHEC, which will coordinate appointment sign-ups at schools and enlist dental health professionals to work in the mobile clinic. Smith said, “AHEC has $200,000 grant funding now to hire and pay dentists, hygienists and assistants for 2021 and to buy supplies. They already have the human resources, so the only missing link in this collaboration is the mobile clinic.”

That’s where the foundation is stepping in to purchase a mobile clinic. Smith says, “We’re trying to raise funds, and Waypoint will purchase and provide the mobile clinic to AHEC to move from school to school. We

2

3 will provide the clinic, they will provide the services, and we will provide oversight and education because that’s the other critical component.”

The Waypoint Foundation is targeting the 2021-22 school year for the mobile clinic launch. A 1:12 scale model of the mobile dental clinic will be displayed and featured at the Feb. 14 dental fair and intermittently at Key Largo Library. For more information about the Smile Maker initiative or to make a donation, visit https://www.mobilesmilemaker.org/.

Who has been your biggest inspiration at KWHS? Mr. Truhan has always been the one teacher to keep it real with me.

He has taught me many life lessons.

What organizations are you involved with at KWHS? I’ve played volleyball for KWHS all four years. I also participate in the steel pan band, executive board, Zonta and Beta Club.

What class has best prepared you for life after graduation? All of my classes have taught me important lessons for life after graduation. There wasn’t just one.

What do you plan to do after graduation? I plan to attend the University of South Florida in June, and I plan to get my master’s degree in architecture.

What advice would you give to underclassmen? Stay on top of your school work. If you do the work, your grades will show it.

What’s your favorite social media channel, whom do you follow? Instagram, because I enjoy keeping up with my friends’ activities.

What do you want to be remembered for at Key West High School? I’d like to be remembered as the girl with the helping hand.

What three things do you want to accomplish before your 10-year reunion? A steady job; getting my master’s degree and travel.

Will you make the Keys your permanent home?

No, because I want to be able to experience a different lifestyle.

Living in the Keys has taught me… that being a part of your community can shape the person you will become.
