t’s provisional, but the Incredible Fruit Stand has a new home.

This week, Peter Pittman said the farmers market will now be set up at St. Columba Church on 52nd Street gulfside starting this Saturday, Feb 8.

“It’s a temporary solution,” he said. “But we’re pleased with the outpouring of support and suggestions for new locations.”

On Jan. 30, the Florida Keys Land and Sea Trust informed the Incredible Fruit Stand that effective Feb. 8, it can no longer park its vegetable vending truck on the highway frontage at Crane Point Hammock Museum and Nature Center.

The fruit stand has been doing business there — once a week for half a day — for about 18 years.

Pittman, who co-owns the stand with his wife Marie, responded with an email sent to many members of the community, asking citizens to contact museum staff to reconsider the decision.

He wrote, “ We believe both the Christmas Tree and the Incredible Fruit Stand are valuable assets to our community. They are a small part of what makes Marathon unique and a great place to live. … Since the small piece of land we use, once a week, is leased to Crane by the City of Marathon, we expect Crane Point’s Director and her executive board to act in the best interest of our ENTIRE community.

They clearly are not!”

In an interview with the Keys Weekly, Pittman said, “We operate for the good of the community. And good communities facilitate farmer

markets; it’s part of something that every good community strives to have in terms of quality of life.” The Pittmans are full-time residents of Marathon, and make an up-andback trip to the mainland every week to collect the produce they sell on Saturdays. Over the 18 years it has operated, the produce stand has made substantial donations to three charities, currently the St. Columba scholarship program. Pittman said he does not keep track of how much money is donated annually or monthly, nor would he speculate.

The issue spilled over onto social media this past weekend, and many locals weighed in with support for either the fruit stand or the museum. More than one commenter said the right of way where the Pittmans park the truck is managed by the City of Marathon, theoretically open to public use by all. Technically, that’s true.

“The Monroe County Land Authority bought the right of way from the state Department of Transportation for $125,000,” said George Garrett, explaining that the land authority then leased the property to the City of Marathon.

“But the money for the purchase came from the Florida Keys Land and Sea Trust, which also granted land it owned in Key West to the authority to make the deal happen.

While it’s the city’s lease, it only came to be because the museum reduced the cost of the purchase.

So the museum has more than just a leasehold, maybe not legally, but as a matter of fact.”

Garrett is the chairman of the board at the museum, as well as the City of Marathon’s planning director. Speaking on behalf of the museum, he said the informal agreement with the fruit stand was revoked because of a coming art project.

“Bridge” by Jamie Emerson will be installed at Crane Point Museum. It is the last-but-one piece to be installed on the Florida Keys Sculpture Trail. There were five others installed from Key West to Islamorada. The art piece — shaped like a triangle with cutouts — features murals on the inside. The museum is in the process of creating a suitable foundation — roughly where the fruit truck now parks — for “Bridge.”

“The reason for our decision for the Incredible Fruit Stand to vacate use lies most prominently with the Hammock's desire to improve our offerings by expanding our frontage presentation to the west,” Garrett wrote in a letter to the board.

About two years ago, there was an attempt by the museum and fruit stand to hammer out a lease agreement where none existed.

Pittman said they asked for a few minor changes to be made to the lease, and then the museum never contacted them again. Neither party can remember what those changes might have been.

“They didn’t sign the lease, and we never pushed it with them,” said Garrett. “What we did push was insurance.” The fruit stand does have insurance now, written under the church umbrella.

This recent fracas is just the latest in the history between the two organizations. There have been disagreements about the location of the Christmas Trap Tree, constructed of lobster traps by the fruit stand and its volunteers, and disagreements over who would pay for the electricity to illuminate it.

The most recent bone of contention concerns the old Pullman train car that is being restored on the highway frontage, to become a functioning part of the museum. The continued on page 22

FLORIDA KEYS DAY

MARATHON WEEKLY / FEBRUARY 6, 2020

JIM McCARTHY

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 alternatives. 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 water-based 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.

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.”

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

1

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.

MARATHON WEEKLY / FEBRUARY 6, 2020

SAVE US THE MONEY!

Monroe county will seek upgraded CRS class designation, saving over $1 million annually

W

hen it comes to flood insurance, many of us want to just stick our heads in the sand.

Turns out, it can be confusing, frustrating and expensive to insure a house on an island. Luckily, the county is taking steps to mitigate some of that cost and frustration.

The Community Rating System (CRS) recognizes communities that manage their floodplain risk which, in turn, earns the entire community a flood insurance discount off their premium. The percentage discount depends on what class determination the community is given.

Since 2015, the county has moved from a Class 6 to a Class 5, with a 25 percent savings to insurance holders, by correcting more than 300 findings in the original audit

by FEMA. Monroe County is classified in “Good Standing” with the agency that controls the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and implementing programs that raise awareness of impending flood issues, as well as regulations that protect property and lives. Overall, the current designation has cumulatively saved flood insurance policyholders more than $19 million in the past five years.

At the January BOCC meeting, Monroe County’s Community Rating System (CRS) consultant Lori Lehr took it a step further, presenting a draft Repetitive Loss Area Analysis (RLAA) for unincorporated Monroe County to the BOCC. The RLAA plan looks at repetitive and severe repetitive loss properties, including the claims from the last five major storms. There are 391 structures on 370 parcels with seven listed as severe repetitive loss properties. Unincorporated Monroe has 60 repetitive loss areas that include 9,543 properties (with sites

Monroe County has participated in the CRS program since 2016, when the community entered as a Class 6. Now, the county is applying to move to a Class 4 rating.

Average annual savings on individual flood insurance would increase to $448 for a total savings of over $6.3 million. CONTRIBUTED

similarly situated in elevation and building type within these areas), which includes homes that do not have insurance or are raised above flood but still fall within the area.

Adoption of a final RLAA is the final step for the county to be eligible to move from CRS Class 5 to Class 4. If successful, the new designation will save flood insurance policyholders additional hundreds of dollars yearly. Total county savings annually would go from $5,317,202 to $6,376,373.

Lehr reviewed the Class 4 prerequisites: “A community must demonstrate that it has programs that minimize flood losses, minimize increases in future flooding, protect natural floodplain functions, and protect people from the dangers of flooding.” Recent sea level rise modeling of drainage infrastructure and drainage maintenance plan along with the recently implemented RLAA could move the county to the new designation.

“We would be the only Class 4 in a coastal community and we would be in the presence of only two other Class 4 designated counties in Florida,” said County Administrator Roman Gastesi. “This is a big deal.”

Assistant County Administrator Christine Hurey added a clarification for the benefit of homeowners. She said, “Just because your residence is in a repetitive loss area does not mean that your structure is at risk. It just means there are properties in that area that are at risk.”

Hurney said that if property owners have an elevation certificate or other information about their property, they could contact

Lehr as the county adopts the RLAA. That information will then be put on file, so if the owner wants to sell the property in the future, the buyer can be guaranteed if the site is at risk or not based on the elevation certificate.

Hurley and Mayor Heather Carruthers emphasized this critical point. Hurley said, “So, it takes more than this report to create the full picture per property.”

Mayor pro tem Michelle Coldiron lauded staff for making sure the community gets the best rating possible for homeowners. Lehr agreed, saying, “The CRS program makes us aware and makes the public aware. We’re more resilient because of our participation in the program, and we’re making sure the public gets the benefit of the resiliency we’re promoting and the mitigation work we’re doing.”

Gastesi summed it up: “We’ve spent a running total of just under $500,000 in the last four years for this program, and you saw we’ll have saved $25 million.” He added, “That’s a nice return on investment.”

The presentation, plan, risk areas and additional information can be found at www.monroecountyfl.gov/crs. The county is seeking public input on the draft plan and will be presenting the final plan for adoption at the Feb. 19, 2020 BOCC meeting.

With the completion of the latest CRS resilience tasks, the county will submit the documentation to go through the rigorous review process this summer, with a target goal to be rated a Class 4 by Oct. 1, 2020.

Pittmans have researched the vintage car’s construction and learned it has a layer of asbestos. Garrett said that a state agency, twice, has come out to inspect the car and given the museum the okay to continue operations.

“Publicly, this is about the art project,” Pittman said. However, he said that he has learned through “back channels” that the decision to ask the fruit stand to leave is because he raised concern about the asbestos in the rail car.

Pittman said he and his supporters are concerned about the future not only of the Incredible Fruit Stand, but similar operations as well. Pittman said he is unsure how much longer the fruit stand will continue to operate, mentioning his age, but is emphatic that the benefits of the museum location are indisputable.

“Our time is limited. This is about the community as a whole going forward. We are short on usable green space in this town and all roads lead back to Crane,” Pittman said. “This is not about our future, but the future of others in our community.”

Garrett said the museum and its staff have done their best to work with the Pittmans.

“Unfortunately, they have not been willing to do anything in any circumstance where they don’t control the situation,” Garrett said.

In the letter to the board, he wrote: “With this in mind, we have simply asked that the Incredible Fruit Stand move on. We believe in their mission. We support their cause. We have loved the Christmas tree each Christmas season. We hope they will continue their efforts in a different location.”

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.

hile some students from Marathon High School participated in the halftime show, the culinary students had the opportunity to meet football legends and celebrity chefs at the Feb. 2 Taste of the NFL in Hollywood, Florida.

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.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS Restaurant celebrates 10-year anniversary SARA MATTHIS sara@keysweekly.com

S

unset Grille and Raw Bar is approaching its 10th anniversary this weekend. It’s been demanding yet rewarding, said owner John Kotch.

The time has gone slowly, and quickly, but the improvements made to the Middle Keys restaurant are long-lived.

ONE: LANDSCAPING “That’s the first thing we did,” said Kotch. “The idea was to make it a tropical oasis. We installed dozens of palms, re-did the parking area, and added $125,000 of landscaping. It just sets the right tone for our arriving guests. We also brought in truckloads of sand to provide a beach area to kick your shoes off and relax.”

TWO: SECOND BAR What’s better than one oceanside bar? Two oceanside bars. While the main restaurant has a view-from-every-seat square-shaped bar, there was a need for more, Kotch said. He added a poolside bar for better convenience. Nothing like taking a few steps from the bar to cool off in the pool with an ice-cold Painkiller in hand.

THREE: SUNDAY FUNDAY “We have logged more than 500 Sunday Fundays since we opened,” said Kotch, “making it the longest running pool and beach party in the Keys.”

It’s a huge draw for the restaurant and a customer pleaser. The elements include a DJ, a special menu of grilled items featuring a different burger every week, cornhole tournaments, prizes, giveaways, promotions and more.

FOUR: DOCKS By sea and by land. “Adding docks was one of the major improvements to Sunset Grille in the past 10 years,” said Kotch.

“We have room for multiple vessels to accommodate our diners coming by sea.”

It’s a great place for locals to stop by and quench their thirst after a day of fishing, or a great way to impress visitors who need some lunch.

SEVEN: HURRICANE RECOVERY “We were one of the first restaurants with major damage to reopen after Hurricane Irma in 2017,” said Kotch. That’s no small feat — the pool was damaged, filled with sand and debris, the dock was gone, and the structure itself sustained major damage.

“Our employees worked ’round the clock to get us up and running as quickly as possible.” It re-opened in 10 days.

EIGHT: FOOD & DRINK Kotch says the signature drink menu was sent straight from the Tiki Gods themselves. Fruity rum potions are served in over a dozen different unique souvenir glasses such as pirates, sharks, volcanoes, fishbowls, and even a sippable pool noodle. “We expanded the menu to offer something for everyone, from sushi to BBQ, bar food specials like loaded tots to prime rib and, of course, lots of fresh fish dishes prepared with a fresh Caribbean flare,” he said. It’s open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Smoked menu on Tuesdays, happy hour daily, football menu, Sunday Funday menu, and special buffets for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s.

FIVE: BIG SCREEN “No matter what sport is in season, after the sun sets, we make it larger than life,” said Kotch of the restaurant’s 18-foot wide outdoor screen. “We wanted to go above and beyond for our sports fans. We have the biggest screen in the Keys and for the Big Game, we even added an extra one out on the beach.” Kotch said the amenity is not without its difficulties. “ The wind is our biggest enemy. I can’t count how many times it’s been ripped to shreds and then replaced.”

NINE: SUPPORTERS OF SUNSET NATION & MARATHON Sunset Grille’s Facebook page has grown to over 33,000 followers from around the world. Kotch: “I’ve had people approach me saying they have been coming back every year since day one. It’s very humbling to have customers approach me and thank me for the ever-changing improvements and consistency. We have some really great employees that we can count on; they are the backbone of this business. We wouldn’t be where we are today without their dedication and hard work.”

SIX: BEACH Cornhole? Check. Ring toss? Check. An incredible view of the iconic 7 Mile Bridge?

Check. “Inspired by a trip to Aruba, we wanted to add to the tropical oasis vibe by installing multiple palapas, an umbrellalike structure with a thatched roof made of palm leaves,” Kotch said, adding the shade

TEN: PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE “One thing I love about this business is the ability to keep evolving into something better and better,” Kotch said. “Because of the success we have seen so far, I have been thinking about what else is to come.

We have some big plans for the future, but you’ll have to stay tuned!”

36 YEARS LATER Things may have changed, but it’s still home

T

his month marks the 36th anniversary of my first performance in the Keys. The year was 1984, the venue was the old Compass Lounge at the (old) Holiday Inn in Marathon. It’s located in the same space where the new Holiday Inn Express is now; it was certainly different then.

Imagine an old-school Holiday Inn (complete with the old-style Holiday Inn sign), with a small indoor bar and restaurant (the Bounty). Just to the east, where the Hampton Inn now sits, was an old-school Howard Johnson’s motel and restaurant. HoJo’s was open 24 hours, and many a late night was spent there over eggs and bacon, or those yummy TenderSweet clams … and a few people actually had cocktails in the adjacent tiny HoJo bar called the Rum Keg Pub. There were other places here that are just memories. The Coldwell Banker Schmitt building was a Lum’s Hot Dogs, famous for being steamed in beer. Even before Beall’s Outlet was an Office Depot, it was the old Winn Dixie. And Marathon’s first Walgreens was located in that same shopping center, in the space vacated by the legendary Idle Hour bar. The Idle Hour was one of Marathon’s infamous 24hour bars, a few of which survive to this day.

A couple that didn’t make it were the old Reef Bar (yellow building in front of the BlueGreen resort), and the adult nightspot Fanny’s, now the Turtle Hospital.

The bones of an old building near Capt. Pip’s that were recently demolished were once the site of Hanley’s, then Rip’s, then Sakura, then Pelican’s, then Gators, then a ruin that lasted for years. The corner of 15th St. and US 1 was the site of the old South Seas restaurant (which became Frankie’s Silverado and the Mermaid Club), and down 15th Street at Faro Blanco Oceanside were Crocodiles Down Under and the Upper Deck bar. Lazy Days Marathon was once Bacchus by the Sea, and it became a couple of other short-lived restaurants (my favorite name was Bastardson’s). And a lot of us old-timers still miss Kelsey’s Restaurant and Angler’s Lounge at the old Faro Blanco.

The Capital Bank in Old Town was a Cuban restaurant called El Castillito. Upper Crust Pizza was right next door to Key of Sea Music, one of two music stores we had in town then.

There are respectable people in the Keys who once took guitar lessons from me there when they were kids (I can name names for a price!)

JOHN Barracuda BARTUS Grill was an Italian joint called is a City of MaraEnRico’s. Skipjack thon council(then Sombrero man. He also is a musician who Resort) was home performs around to Chef’s Restautown. For more rant & Goodtimes see johnbartus.

Lounge. Maracom thon Community Theater was a dance club called the Side Door (and the Plaza Lounge before that). Winn Dixie’s site used to be a grocery store called Pantry Pride, later Hyde Park Market. Publix used to be Marine Bank and a huge field where many Marathon events took place.

Where Driftwood Pizza and Tranquility Bay Adult Day Care sit used to be a 24-hour joint called the Driftwood Lounge. It was mainly an afterhours club where a lot of musicians would come and jam after their gigs.

There are a few of the old 24-hour bars still active today. JJ’s Doghouse hasn’t changed much since the 1980s.

The Overseas certainly has changed.

And the Brass Monkey remains Marathon’s late night rock and roll headquarters some four decades later.

Longtime residents will remember the Quay Restaurant was a really nice place to take someone back then, and the Quay Tiki Bar burger is still legend among locals.

Moving to Key Colony Beach, the old Sparky’s Landing was simply the Landing in those days. The Key Colony Inn was the Candlelight. And Glunz/Havana Jack’s was a resort called Ruttger’s, with the outside bar known simply as the Pier Bar. I’ve ended the quasi-historical tour in Key Colony Beach for a reason: I’m inviting you to my 36th Anniversary Concert this Sunday, 4 p.m., at Sunset Park in KCB. 36 years and more than 8,000 performances later, I’m still doing what I love to do in these islands I call home. Thanks for accompanying me on a trip down Memory Lane, and I’ll see you Sunday!

PERKY’S BAT TOWER

MARATHON HISTORY BRITT MYERS

britt@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.

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.

ast week students in Florida participated in Celebrate Literacy Week events. In Monroe County, students took part in many different literacy activities. Marathon High School Literacy Coach Jill Williams shared some of the highlights: Every middle school science class had at least one guest speaker from the community. Aquarium Encounters, the Turtle Hospital, Crane Point, Reef Relief, Monroe County Mosquito Control and Captain Hook's sent representatives to speak to the middle school students in support of the theme science and literacy.

Students participated in book preview parties during lunch. The featured books were purchased through a grant to promote diversity in schools.

Students who participated get a bonus of being the first to borrow the new books.

Service dogs visited students in developmental ESOL classes, who were encouraged to practice reading and speaking in English to them.

The annual "Giant Book Giveaway" took place during lunch periods. Many brand news books were donated by the community.

Mystery Book of the Day contests took place on Dolphin News Network, thanks to MHS senior Frank Dupey.

The second Poetry Out Loud school-based competition was held.

Jinn Mann, the winner and a Marathon High School sophomore, will travel to St. Petersburg to compete in the state competition the last weekend of February. This is the second year MHS has sent a student to the state competition. Over 40 MHS students competed in the 2020 schoollevel competitions, which were judged by County Commissioner Michelle Coldiron and her executive assistant Katie Atkins, Diane Culver of the Marathon Recreation Center, and school board member John Dick.

CHLOE GARCIA SENIOR

What is something most people don’t know about you? I have been pole vaulting for the last four years and this year will be my fifth year.

Who is your all-time favorite teacher and why? My old elementary teacher, Mrs. Michell. She helped me enjoy reading and made me a better reader overall.

What does “a good education” mean to you? A good education is not only book smarts but also learning about how to understand and adapt to the world around you.

What is something you know now that you didn’t know when you were a freshman? Four years is short and you never know where you’ll end up.

What organizations and activities are you involved with at MHS and why are they important to you?

I am a part of NHS, Interact club, weightlifting and track. These clubs are important to me because they

always keep me on the go helping the community or bettering myself.

What are your plans after high school? I am going to FAU to major in chemistry.

What do you hope to be remembered for at MHS? Someone who always helps out and encourages others to do their best.

What is one favorite way to spend your spare time? Playing Ultimate Frisbee at the Community Park on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 7 p.m.

LEGAL NOTICES

Applications for Title V air operation permits are subject to review in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 403, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Chapters 62-4, 62-210 and 62-213, of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The proposed project is not exempt from air permitting requirements and a Title V air operation permit is required to operate the facility.

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 Permitting Authority’s mailing address is: DEP South District, P.O. Box 2549, Fort Myers, FL 33902-2549. The Permitting Authority’s telephone number is (239) 344-5600.

Project File: A complete project file is available for public inspection during the normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (except legal holidays), at the address indicated above for the Permitting Authority. 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. Petitions filed with the Administrator of EPA must meet the requirements of 42 U.S.C. Section 7661d(b)(2) and must be filed with the Administrator of the EPA at: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of the Administrator, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Mail Code: 1101A, Washington, DC 20460.

HELPING ALL KIDS

Davis returns to Marathon to take reins of Parks & Rec SARA MATTHIS

I

sara@keysweekly.com

t’s been a few months since Anthony Paul Davis (call him Paul), took over the reins of the City of Marathon’s Parks and Recreation Department. But this born-and-raised Marathon man has been a high-profile achiever in the Middle Keys for 30 years or more. He’s been involved in so many organizations, from the Sheriff’s Office to Monroe County School District to coaching various high school teams, it’s best to remind yourself of his current role by double-checking the insignia on his polo shirt.

He says the job he has right now is probably the most impactful.

“I get these kids when they are young. I don’t have to wait until they are in high school, or already in trouble, to have an impact on their lives,” Davis said.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to directing parks and recreation. Some think it’s about managing facilities; others, about developing kids’ characters so they become strong and integral parts of the community. For Davis, it’s about both.

“We have to have the best facilities for kids, so they have the best opportunity to be successful. I learned that in high school playing and coaching track, basketball and football,” he said. “Sports can be dangerous and I want young kids to learn and understand the game before they get to the varsity level. And sports teaches discipline, respect, loyalty and overcoming adversity.”

Davis comes from a family dedicated to education and community involvement. His dad, Arthur “Junior” Davis, stressed the importance of education to his five children. His oldest sister, Diane Culver, and her husband Anthony, operate the Marathon Rec Center, an after school program for elementary and middle school aged children.

“Those three people, that’s who I look up to,” Davis said. “My parents didn't graduate high school. But I watched my mom read every night. My parents were self-taught and they wanted to make sure we valued education. I was the first one in my family to get a college degree.”

The Marathon High School graduate (1988) went to Western Michigan University, where he played defensive back on a football scholarship. He started his freshman year and played a bowl game broadcast on national TV. It was an epic performance -- two interceptions and nine tackles.

“It was the first time in Marathon that anybody played on national TV; it was a pretty exciting thing,” he said.

His bachelor's degree was in communications.

Since then he’s earned two master's degrees — one in business management and the other in education. He has spent time working in law enforcement, including the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, and in education with various school districts including the Keys. Most of those years he’s also been a coach — football and basketball. Most recently, he was the head varsity football

coach at his alma mater before leaving to do the same at a bigger district on the mainland. He’s also bounced back and forth between the Keys and Michigan, where his three children live. All are grown now, with the oldest following him into a community sports focus.

“At one point I left a school job to pursue my dream of being a professional football player with a Canadian franchise starting a team. I didn’t get it and was cut. A few times in my life, I have thought I was ready for something and have been humbled by realizing I’m not. The Lord has a way of showing us things, but I’ve learned from all those experiences,” Davis said.

That combination of drive, focus and humility are the result of his experiences and upbringing in Marathon.

“Growing up, Marathon was very diverse. Race didn’t play much of a role in how we interacted with one another.

In fact, when I went to university, I had never been around that many African American people in my life. I learned that people go through the same things no matter where they grow up,” Davis said.

Davis said he wants to be a good example for all kids. He also wants to serve as a mentor and is clear about his own: Joe Widell of the Sheriff’s Office; Ralph Gentry, a coach at MHS; and his college coaches, Bill Bye and Larry Edlund. And his dad. And so he has resolved to treat all the kids in the city’s parks and recreation department as if they were his own.

“I always had a dad around. But things are different now, the things the young dudes are dealing with — single moms, bills, putting food on the table,” he said. “If you play for me, or are in one of my parks programs, I tell the kids, I am going to treat them as if they were my own kid. I will get on you, I will push you as far as I can. But I’ve found that once I start talking with the kids, about life, I make a better connection.”

His connection with the youth of Marathon is like an ever expanding ripple. Davis talks to them, he coaches them, and he follows up: attending graduations from police and fire academies of former students, or sharing a cup of coffee and a little advice with the next generation.

“Growing up, one of my main concerns was not to do anything that would reflect badly on my family. I want to be the best example that I can, honestly, for any kid.”
