Residents of Monroe County We are in an unprecedented time in our country today. We will get through this, but it is going to be difficult on everyone. We all understand that we need to have social separation to stop or slow the spread of the coronavirus. So, with the closure of bars, night clubs, theaters and attractions, there will be a slowdown and, to some, a complete end of any income. This will have a devastating effect on our workers and business owners. We are all worried and not sure of what we can do to get through this uncertain time.

Some of our residents have jobs that will continue to pay them through this shutdown period, but many of our residents don’t, and live paycheck to

paycheck. Many of our small and large businesses are still recovering from Irma and haven’t built up enough reserve yet to survive this shutdown. So, as a community we must pull together like we did after Irma and help one another. So, I ask landlords to abate rents if they can afford to, discount rents or at a bare minimum defer rents until after this crisis passes. Because if your tenants go out of business and your properties go dark it could take months to rent the commercial space to a new tenant and I bet it won’t be anywhere near the amount you are getting now. I ask residential landlords to do the same if they can afford to, because when the businesses close there are no jobs and the workers will move away, so they won’t be renting

housing. This is going to be very difficult on our amazing community, so it’s very important we pull together to help each other.

We need to hold our community together, our families together and when this crisis is over, we can open back up for business quickly and start our recovery much quicker. We need to help the nonprofits like SOS and others to help feed families and residents while they are out of work. Shop locally, give an extra tip, call nonprofits to help with your time or money because there will be many needs in our community.

If we come together as a community and live by our One Human Family motto, we will get through this crisis and come out of it with more love and respect for one another.

UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES

Bar and restaurant owners and managers have discussed their commitment to supporting their employees through these troubled times. MANDY MILES/Keys Weekly

The city-owned Smathers Beach in Key West has been closed since March 17.

BAR AND RESTAURANT OWNERS RESPOND TO NEW RULES

“I’ve never seen anything like this. At least with a hurricane you can see it coming,” Hughes said. “I just wish the city would match its restrictions with the state and county.”

Greg Sullivan, president of the Key West Chamber of Commerce, suggested that the folks at the meeting “politely contact” elected city officials they know, and mention the difficulties.

“To be honest, the chamber was a bit surprised we didn’t receive any advance notice,” Sullivan said.

In addition to requiring bars and restaurants to close, Veliz and Mayor Teri Johnston took steps to reduce crowds in the city. They canceled the nightly Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square, closed Smathers Beach and cordoned off the iconic Southernmost Point buoy, where a line of would-be photographers typically stretches down the block. The landmark buoy was draped in a blue tarp by Wednesday morning.

Historic Tours of America ceased tour operations. Some museums had closed, while others remained open.

The county-owned Higgs Beach, less than a mile from the city’s Smathers Beach, remained open on Wednesday, while police patrolled Smathers and politely informed visitors it was closed.

Bill Lay, owner of La Trattoria Restaurant, Virgilio’s Lounge and La Trattoria Oceanside, told the assembled business owners on Wednesday that he was encouraged by Veliz’s willingness to reevaluate the situation on a “day-by-day basis.”

“That seemed like a positive message to me,” Lay said.

March 18 meeting of Key West bar and restaurant owners started with complaints and criticism, but quickly gave way to cooperation and a commitment to do as much as they can to help their employees weather this unprecedented storm.

The meeting was called in response to mandatory business closures issued the day before.

Governor Ron DeSantis on March 17 required all bars and nightclubs in the state to close until further notice, and all restaurants to reduce their seating capacity by half to facilitate healthy social distancing in response to the global coronavirus pandemic.

Monroe County complied with the governor’s rules, but Key West city officials went further and prohibited on-site dining in all Key West restaurants — take-out and delivery orders only.

The business community questioned the inconsistency within the island chain, pointing out that residents and visitors could suddenly go out to dinner on Stock Island, Summerland Key and elsewhere, but not in Key West.

In a video message posted late Wednesday, Key West City Manager Greg Veliz said the decision to close all restaurants for on-site dining stemmed from an enforcement challenge and the difficulties the city would face in calculating a 50% reduction in capacity.

“We have to look beyond the current train wreck; we have to look forward,” said Jim Gilleran, owner of The 801 Bar and other entities. “Key West is uniquely positioned to come together as

a business community, because it’s what we’ve always done. This is part of who we are.”

Gilleran and Two Friends Patio Restaurant owner Danny Hughes have helped launch a new Facebook presence called One Clean Island with the aim of sharing best practices, financial assistance resources and dispelling any misinformation circulating online or via the more organic and informal, yet shockingly effective, Coconut Telegraph.

They met with Mark Rossi and more than a dozen other business owners and managers Wednesday afternoon.

Many of them expressed frustration that “the city can shut down an entire industry with no notice.”

But the focus quickly shifted back to the group’s top priority, “Taking care of our own,” Gilleran said. “We have to stay on the same page and remain stable and help each other and our workers.”

The One Clean Island Facebook page will have daily video blogs posted at 10 a.m.

“We’ll share the latest information, available resources, how to help our community and other pertinent information relating to this new reality,” Gilleran said.

“This group right here represents a few thousand employees and they need us,” Rossi said to nodding heads. “I can’t stress that enough. If we need to feed them, we’ll feed them. If we need to put them to work doing other things, we can do that. But I can’t stress enough how important these folks are, and how many of them live paycheck to paycheck and hand to mouth.”

Some servers could become delivery drivers in the coming days. Busboys may be painting walls or cleaning equipment. But they’ll be working as much as possible, everyone agreed.

The BOCC meets in Key West in February. The March meeting, slated for Key Largo, has been postponed. The next meeting will be in Marathon in April. TIFFANY DUONG/Keys Weekly

BOCC POSTPONES MARCH MEETING AMID COVID-19 RISK I

n a cautionary move, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners postponed its March 18 BOCC meeting in Key Largo to the scheduled Wednesday, April 15 meeting that will take place at the Marathon Government Center.

“There are several very important topics on the March agenda that we know people will want to speak about. By postponing it, we hope to reduce the risk of any possible exposure to COVID-19 in the community and still allow public participation,” said Heather Carruthers, Monroe County mayor.

County Commissioner David Rice told the Weekly that the commission had planned to revisit the 300 ROGO units it recently accepted in a split vote as well as hear a health update about preventing a coronavirus crisis in the Keys.

The postponement comes on the heels of Carruthers’ declaration of a state of local emergency on March 17 due to the rapid acceleration of COVID-19 in South Florida.

A critical tool to combat community spread of the virus is to limit in-person meetings by frequency and size. If meetings can be conducted virtually, they should. If they can’t, they should be limited in size or postponed if possible.

Following similar guidelines, the BOCC chose to postpone its meeting.

There will be no gatherings on county property of 10 or more people, and Emergency Management encourages all businesses and organizers to limit or cancel gatherings of 10 or more people through at least March 22, 2020. Right now, the recommendations and actions will continue in week-by-week increments.

Carruthers has said coronavirus poses a health risk to Monroe County residents, particularly the elderly. The mayor noted that “extraordinary and immediate actions” by the county were necessary to protect public health.

The Southernmost Point, a landmark Key West tourist attraction was closed as of March 17. The city has restricted access to other city-owned properties that attract large groups in an effort to help combat the spread of coronavirus.

MANDY MILES/Keys Weekly

I

n accordance with the recommendations made by the President of the United States to reduce gatherings of 10 people or more, the City of Key West on March 17 closed three prominent landmarks that attract crowds.

This includes: Mallory Square during the traditional Sunset Celebration, the Southernmost Point and Smathers Beach.

The closures are being reevaluated daily.

The City strongly recommends that other facilities that attract gatherings of 10 or more people voluntarily consider similar restrictions.

“We understand that this creates a burden on both our residents and our visitors,” said City Manager Greg Veliz, “but it’s vital that we work together to protect public safety during this health emergency. The sooner these measures are enacted, the quicker we can get back to business as usual.”

The City also canceled the special City Commission that had been scheduled for March 17.

STATE OF BUSINESS AMID CORONAVIRUS CONCERN

By Sara Matthis, Mandy Miles and Jim McCarthy Florida Keys airports and hotels remained open as of Wednesday. Bars were instructed by the state to close for the next 30 days and restaurants to operate at 50 percent capacity.

Many events have been canceled or rescheduled, but no curfew is in place, nor are mandatory business closures, said Stacey Mitchell, director of the Monroe County Tourist Development Council, who emphasized the everchanging nature of this global beast.

“The Keys were actually pretty busy this past weekend,” Mitchell said.

But things are about to get real quiet in the island chain, she warned, estimating that a decrease in Keys visitors will become noticeable starting this week and next.

“Plus, remember, international visitors comprise 30% of our tourists,” she said. “They won’t be coming back for a while.”

“I think we’re going to see tourism numbers like we see in August and September,” she said, adding that while “no one knows how long this will last, it could be until Memorial Day.” The question, Mitchell said, becomes how businesses keep employees working. She suggested this week that local restaurant owners consider offering the “local specials and promotions” now rather than waiting until their usual timing in August and September.

“I don’t know if people were ready to hear that, but it would keep workers employed and it would get some customers in the door of a restaurant.

They may need to reconfigure or remove some tables to remain within the 50-person limit for gatherings, but there’s no way around it. Every single person in this county will take a financial hit this April. It’s going to come down to locals helping locals.”

In other TDC actions, the agency has added a COVID-19 informational link at the top of its main tourism website at fla-keys.com to provide visitors and those considering a visit with up-to-date information and links to resources.

Florida Keys airports and hotels, and some attractions, remained open as of Wednesday afternoon with a few exceptions.

Bars are closed and restaurants are limited to half their normal capacity. Many events have been canceled or rescheduled, but there no curfew is in place, nor mandatory business closures, said Stacey Mitchell, director of the Monroe County Tourist Development Council, who emphasized the ever-changing nature of this global beast. CONTRIBUTED

“We’re not hiding it; it’s in Key lime green at the very top of our landing page,” Mitchell said. “We want people to have as much information as possible.”

The TDC also has “pulled all advertising from our winter feeder markets, mainly the Northeast,” Mitchell said.

“First of all, no one up there is listening to our messaging, but we also felt it would be extremely insensitive to advertise our island destination amid the trauma and chaos that people up there are experiencing. So we’ll save those financial resources until it’s appropriate to start promoting to that region again.”

Tourism officials, including Mitchell and PR specialist Andy Newman, also have been meeting with their partner at Tinsley Advertising “to formulate tactics, strategies and messaging for when we do get to the other side of this,” Mitchell said.

Many large events, like the 7-Mile Bridge Run and Mote Ocean Fest in Key West, have either been canceled or postponed.

In Key West, the Florida Keys EcoDiscovery Center was mandated to close to the public, effective March 14, until the coronavirus crisis is deemed over. On March 15, the Tropic Cinema closed until further notice. The Key West Art & Historical Society museums — the Custom House, Key West Lighthouse & Keeper’s Quarters, Fort East Martello, and Tennessee Williams

Museum — were scheduled to close starting March 17, lasting through April 1.

In downtown Key West, the onand-off Duval Loop bus was to suspend operations starting March 17.

While hotel and resort professionals in the Florida Keys are saying there are some cancellations, it isn’t an unmitigated disaster.

“I suppose everything could change again in a matter of hours, but

Many large events, like the 7-Mile Bridge Run and Mote Ocean Fest in Key West, have either been canceled or postponed.

right now I’m not expecting a huge downturn in business,” said one. That person said the first 15 days of the month saw one major resort at 88% occupancy and added that a good estimate might be about 75% occupancy combined with a lower room rate averaging about $200 a night in the months to come.

Marathon Chamber of Commerce CEO Dan Samess is asking his member partners and colleagues to think carefully before closing — whether it’s a restaurant, a hotel or a beach.

“We don’t want a domino effect.

Any closure could weaken guests’ confidence in our tourism market,” he said.

The Original Marathon Seafood Festival happened as planned this past weekend. Samess said he is still tabulating the numbers, but said he thinks attendance was off by 20% to 50%.

“Attendance was down, but considering everything that is going on, this is to be expected,” he said. “It was a successful event, and everyone had a good time, and we complied with the health department’s request for extra hand sanitizer, posted notices and hand-washing stations.”

Jodi Weinhofer of the Florida Keys and Key West Lodging Association, said association members are handling the uncertainties of the virus with professionalism and flexibility, recognizing the need to let people cancel or postpone their stays until things get

settled. Most brand hotels are waiving cancellation fees for stays through April 30, 2029.

“The good news is our members and hotels understand that they just have to let people cancel,” Weinhofer said. “In general, our clientele is older and wealthier and although we may not have any confirmed cases down here, we don’t know what’s happening wherever they’re coming from. … I’m glad people down here seem to be saying, across the board, that we’ll let you cancel or postpone your reservation.”

The move is to engender goodwill among guests who might cancel this vacation, but consider visiting the Keys on the next vacation.

Business stayed rather busy in Key Largo between the Upper Keys Irish fest and a myriad of cancellations that brought visitors from the mainland down this past weekend.

“We had one of the busiest days on Saturday and this past weekend,” said Elizabeth Moscynski, Key Largo Chamber of Commerce president. “We had people coming in and out all day, and by 5 p.m., we had over 70 people who came in, and that’s very unusual for a Saturday afternoon.”

Why were visitors coming down?

Moscynski said their response was they had nothing better to do.

“They were coming in from all over, basically, and it wasn’t just MiamiDade,” she said.

Moscynski said events have dwindled down other than live entertainment at restaurants. No major festivals or parties are upcoming, with Island

Fest, originally planned for March 2829, canceled and ICE’s Bay Jam Fest, April 5, postponed.

Judy Hull, Islamorada Chamber of Commerce executive director, said many cancellations seen at local resorts over the last week were filled by visitors whose plans changed.

“Cruise lines canceled cruises and the folks who had flown into Fort Lauderdale and Miami for a cruise found themselves with an open schedule,” she said. “They came to the Keys, and in most cases more than filled the cancellations.

Cruise ships Major U.S. cruise lines have voluntarily suspended operations for 30 days due to coronavirus. The port of Key West is still open for marine traffic which includes recreational vessels.

The last cruise ship left Key West on March 14. There are about 75 cruise ships homeported in Florida.

Movie theaters Tropic Cinema in Key West and Marathon Cinema in Marathon are closed until further notice.

Resorts While there is no indication that resorts will close any time soon, big events are being canceled. For example, a 300-plus person luncheon for Voices for Florida Keys Children at Hawks Cay Resort has been canceled.

It was set to occur on March 28 and funds were to be raised to meet the needs of abandoned, neglected and abused children throughout the Keys.

U.S. cruise lines voluntarily suspended operations for 30 days. The last cruise ship left Key West on March 14. With major cruise lines suspending activity, chamber of commerce officials say it brought a number of visitors who had plans canceled to the Keys. LARRY BLACKBURN/Keys Weekly

CORONAVIRUS

KEY WEST WEEKLY / MARCH 19, 2020

By Mandy Miles, Jim McCarthy and Sara Matthis

County restaurants must operate at 50% capacity

GOVERNOR ORDERS CLOSURE OF BARS AND

What a difference a week makes. Sloppy Joe’s Bar in Key West was packed with spring break visitors just days before COVID-19 mandated bar closures.

LARRY BLACKBURN/Keys Weekly

F

lorida Gov. Ron DeSantis took another step toward dispersing crowds on one of the busier holidays — St. Patrick’s Day — by ordering all bars and nightclubs in Florida to close for 30 days, effective 5 p.m. on March 17.

The state defines a bar or nightclub as any establishment that derives 50% or more of its gross revenues from alcohol sales. If more than half of those revenues come from the sale of food or other items, the business is not classified as a bar or nightclub, and can remain open if it reduces its capacity to allow more space between patrons.

DeSantis said the state is requiring a 50 percent capacity reduction in restaurants, and staggered and spaced-out seating to ensure seated parties are separated by at least 6 feet. DeSantis is also encouraging people to use takeout and delivery services.

In Key West, takeout and delivery are the only available options. As of 5 p.m. on March 17, no on-site dining or consumption is allowed in establishment in the city limits.

“We are taking unprecedented measures today to ensure a healthy and safe community in the future,” said Key West Mayor Teri Johnston.

Monroe County is adhering to the state’s latest restrictions. Bars must close for 30 days, but restaurants can operate at 50% capacity. The difference between Key West and the county means people can go out to dinner on Stock Island and throughout the island chain, but not in Key West.

Key West restauarent owners were frustrated and fearful of the financial implications, but ultimately made a commitment to support their employees as much as humanly possible.

“You’ve seen a lot of things about people congregating at some of these things. We view that as problematic for spreading the virus,” DeSantis said. “Stealth carriers, people who don’t have symptoms but that are nevertheless passing along, or have such mild symptoms, is something that really nobody has a handle on. If they’re not meeting in those big groups, the chance of passing it along is much less.”

The decisions for responses to the fluid situation are being made at all levels in the interest of public safety. This follows the decision by President Donald Trump to discourage gatherings of more than 10 people.

DeSantis said the state will require restaurants to screen all employees and prohibit entry for those who may have symptoms of the coronavirus.

“This is the floor of the state of Florida for the foreseeable future,” he said. “We support the efforts that the locals are doing.

This is a virus affecting the whole state, but it affects different communities differently. The response may not always be the same on every little thing. This makes the most sense. It gives the flexibility to go further if they want to, but also recognizes that we have some areas where we haven't seen this yet.”

While patrons are still invited into the dining room at Square Grouper in Islamorada, general manager Joe Bell said they’re pushing more take-out ordering to urge people to follow social distancing. Inside the restaurant, Bell said, a new sanitation system is in place to ensure all surfaces are as clean as possible.

CORONAVIRUS

KEY WEST WEEKLY / MARCH 19, 2020

NIGHTCLUBS “We’re going the extra mile to wipe menus and salt and pepper shakers. We’re going above and beyond and we’re doing our best to make sure it doesn’t spread,” he said.

“Guests are still welcome to come in and have a good time, and we will follow all government mandates as far as closures are concerned, as public safety is our No. 1 concern.”

Bell said the restaurant was busy this past weekend, with many people from the mainland coming down.

John Kotch of Sunset Grille and Raw Bar in Marathon said his openair tiki dining room is an advantage.

“That’s what they’re saying, right?

Fresh air and vitamin D? We got that,” he said. “I think people know that.

We’re really busy right now.”

Kotch said he took the extra step of ordering to-go containers before the governor’s order, just in case.

“It’s hard because there’s a lot of information to take in, and this is a new virus,” said Elise Mucha, owner of Brutus Restaurant and Seafood Market in Marathon. “I feel like every day changes. First, crowds are limited to 50 people, then 10 people.”

She said she’s taken steps — extra sanitizing of tabletops and door handles. She’s limited inside seating and she will still have her outside seating. She already has delivery service in place and said it’s a good way to keep servers employed if the dining room foot traffic slows down.

In Marathon, Ken Welever of Island Time Diner has already adopted this policy. All food will be served through the window, and the dining room is closed. He said he’s doing it to protect his own health, the health of his family and patrons.

Sweet Savannah’s will begin offering delivery of cupcakes and ice cream.

With its seating options indoors, Square Grouper in Islamorada also has dining outside by the canal.

DOUG FINGER/Keys Weekly

Kotch said he has business interruption insurance and is going to be looking at the policy more closely. In the United Kingdom, where officials are urging citizens to stay away from restaurants and bars but not mandating them to close, business owners are caught in a catch-22. Owners can’t collect insurance until they are ordered to close their doors, but slower traffic keeps them from turning a profit.

Both Mucha and Kotch say they will follow whatever directive comes from the state.

“I’ll do what the authorities tell me to do,” said Kotch.

“This is not fun,” said Mucha. “This is adulting at its finest.”

SOME GROCERIES ADJUST HOURS

“You’ve seen a lot of things about people congregating at some of these things. We view that as problematic for spreading the virus. ‘Stealth carriers,’ people who don’t have symptoms but that are nevertheless passing along, or have such mild symptoms, is something that really nobody has a handle on.

If they’re not meeting in those big groups, the chance of passing it along is much less.” ­­

— Gov. Ron DeSantis

The Heineke family had a late lunch at Keys Fisheries in Marathon on March 18. The family was on a planned vacation from Colorado.

SARA MATTHIS/Keys Weekly

Local grocery stores have changed their operating hours to accommodate extra cleaning.

Publix is closing two hours early every night, at 8 p.m., to allow employees time to restock and clean. There are reportedly lines at the grocery store every morning, waiting for the doors to open at 7 a.m., but one spokesperson said the stores are still accepting shipments daily.

All Winn-Dixie locations are closing at 9 p.m. nightly. To allow time for restocking and additional sanitation procedures. The grocery chain said it is putting extra focus on high-touch areas, including check-out, PIN pads and cart corrals.

Fausto’s locations are open regular hours.

POLICY AND FUNDING

STATE, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TAKING ACTION

L

egislative session in Tallahassee is winding down as legislators work to approve a budget. But before they did that, members in the House and Senate swiftly approved a bill on March 16 to open up tens of millions in federal dollars to combat the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Some $28 million in new federal funds will be used to increase capacity at state labs for more testing and case monitoring. The money, from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was awarded to the state health department March 15.

“These funds will increase capacity in our state labs for more testing and support our efforts to investigate and monitor cases,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said.

The governor has opened the state’s emergency operations center to coordinate response to the outbreak. The center is at level 2, which activates the state’s emergency response team.

State Rep. Holly Raschein expressed her support of the governor’s overall response.

“It sort of ups the ante a little bit where he has his A-team with regards to emergency management, which is led by Jared Moskowitz, emergency management director, and Mary Mayhew, who’s the Health Care Administration secretary who deals with assisted-living facilities and nursing homes,” Raschein said. “There’s constant conversation with the secretary of state, Laurel Lee, and the surgeon general, Scott Rivkees.

These are the people who are experts in the field who help Moskowitz answer questions and relay questions he might have.”

On March 1, DeSantis issued Executive Order 20-51, which directed Rivkees to declare a public health emergency, to equip Florida with the resources to handle this public health threat. On March 14, the governor directed Moskowitz to prohibit all visits to nursing homes, assisted living facilities, adult family-care homes, long-term care facilities and adult group homes for 30 days.

As for state and local actions regarding public beaches and businesses, Raschein emphasized the importance of adhering to CDC guidelines and best practices.

“We need to be very cognizant. We don’t have any cases in Monroe County at this time, but that may change. Postponing gatherings is a fantastic way to combat the spread. On the flip side, small businesses should have one last fighting chance, if they can, if it’s not an extreme public health concern.”

Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks after a public health emergency is announced in the state. DeSantis is pictured alongside Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez and Florida’s surgeon general, Scott Rivkees.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR’S PRESS OFFICE/Contributed

LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS All local municipalities issued state of emergency declarations earlier in the week.

Recommendations and actions will continue in weekly increments and can be canceled at any time.

“As much as I hate it, we need to try to avoid any areas where people will be in close proximity to others,” said Heather Carruthers, Monroe County mayor. “For these critical weeks, it is highly recommended that for your safety and the safety of others and to help us ‘flatten the curve,’ you avoid crowds and keep at least 6 feet away from others.”

Marathon City Manager Chuck Lindsey announced the closures of Marathon’s parks and Sombrero Beach at sunset on March 17.

“Residents need to use caution and heed the direction of the CDC and utilize safe distance and hygiene protocols. As recommended, all congregations of more than 10 people should be avoided,” he said.

All Islamorada village parks remain open, but meetings were canceled for March. The village council held an emergency meeting on March 17 to go over policy.

“It’s a sad thing to see,” Mayor Mike Forster said regarding the outbreak. “I never thought in my lifetime I would ever be sitting here talking about this and setting policy for our constituents in the next 30, 60 or 90 days.”

THINGS TO KNOW • The Monroe County BOCC meeting in Key Largo for March 18 was postponed to April 15 in Marathon.

• Islamorada canceled all committee meetings, as well as its March 26 council meeting.

• Key Colony Beach canceled all non-essential meetings and activities in Marble Hall. Mayor John DeNeale said the city will continue to have regular meetings, but they will be remote sessions using available technology.

• Key West City Commission canceled a special session Tuesday evening to discuss coronavirus concerns and the local response.

• Marathon has canceled a code hearing, planning commission meeting and council workshop, all scheduled for March 19 through March 24.

STATE DISASTER ASSISTANCE

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday activated the Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan Program to support small businesses affected by COVID-19. The bridge loan program, managed by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), will provide short-term, interest-free loans to small businesses that experienced economic injury from COVID-19. The application period opened March 17 and runs through May 8.

“As we mitigate against the spread of COVID-19, the health, safety and well-being of Floridians comes first,” said DeSantis. “I understand the harm mitigation strategies will have on small businesses throughout our state. By activating the Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan, we are providing the opportunity for Florida’s small businesses to receive cash immediately to ensure they can lessen the impacts felt as a result of COVID-19.”

State Rep. Holly Raschein said she’s proud of the governor’s response to what’s now a pandemic. With initiation of the loan program, Raschein says the governor’s relaying his support for business both big and small.

DEO will administer the loan program in partnership with the Florida SBDC Network and Florida First Capital Finance Corporation to provide cash flow to businesses economically affected by COVID-19. The short-term, interest-free loans help bridge the gap between the time the economic impact occurred and when a business secures other financial resources, including payment of insurance claims or longer-term Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. Up to $50 million has been allocated for the program.

The loans will be available for economic injury caused by COVID-19. Small businesses can use loan proceeds to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing. Eligible uses include paying fixed debts, payroll, accounts receivable and other bills that cannot be paid because of COVID-19 impacts.

Loan terms can be up to 30 years and the interest rate is 3.75% for businesses determined not to have credit available elsewhere.

Nonprofits are eligible for loans at 2.75%.

More information: www.sba.gov/disaster Although the program has been activated, Florida businesses cannot apply for assistance yet. The next step will be for DeSantis to request an Economic Injury Disaster Declaration after conducting a business damage assessment survey of the state’s businesses.

ECONOMIC IMPACT SURVEY The state of Florida has activated a survey to help determine the economic impact of COVID-19 on the state’s businesses. This will assist state and local authorities in determining the scope of impact and what type of financial assistance to provide to businesses.

If your business has been affected by COVID-19, the survey is available at floridadisaster.biz. Click on Business Damage Assessment Survey.

CORONAVIRUS

KEY WEST WEEKLY / MARCH 19, 2020

5 KEYS INDUSTRY LEADERS ANSWER FAQ Keys leaders are taking various steps as the coronavirus epidemic evolves.

The Weekly checked in with a few to see what preparation plans are in place: DAVID CLAY General manager, Lower Keys Medical Center Does your hospital have the ability to quarantine patients? Yes. We have seven individual isolation rooms for patients, and can also isolate a whole hospital unit, or pod, so to speak, in case we get hit hard with more than seven positive patients who need hospitalization.

How many patients can be quarantined at one time? Seven in isolation rooms, or an entire pod, or hospital unit, if we have more than seven patients.

What are your testing capabilities and how long do results take? We can do the nasal and oral swabs for testing, and we’ll then send those swabs to the Department of Health. Results typically take 24 to 48 hours.

How can employees protect themselves? If a patient visits their personal doctor and is showing symptoms and needs hospital care, we ask the patient or doctor to call ahead to our ER department. Our staff will don protective masks, gowns and eyewear and will meet the patients outside in our ambulance bay. We’ll bypass the waiting room and bring the patient in a back entrance and into an isolation room.

RICK RAMSAY Monroe County Sheriff Do you have the ability to test prisoners and personnel? Where will the tests be sent, and when will the results be available? Yes, our contracted medical partner is Wellpath. They only treat inmates. They currently partner with the Department of Health to have inmates tested here at the facility. Test results should be provided to us within 48 hours.

What is the protocol if a prisoner tests positive for COVID-19? The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Bureau of Corrections has two cells that are negative air pressure rooms. These cells are used to contain airborne contaminants within the cell. This way the harmful airborne pathogens are not spread throughout the facility. These cells can house multiple inmates at one time.

How will you protect other prisoners and personnel from catching the virus? First and foremost, we will continue to educate both inmates and staff on washing hands, touching your face, etc. The inmates have an opportunity to see medical personnel at least twice a day and can put in for sick call for a more thorough evaluation. All new detainees will be screened to include questions about past travel to Iran, Italy, South Korea, China and so on. Temperatures and oxygen saturation levels of new detainees will also be measured. If new detainees have these symptoms proper measures will be taken immediately to identify if they do indeed have the COVID-19 virus. The jail has tripled the cleaning of well-traveled areas and housing areas. Personnel will be encouraged to stay home when sick and seek treatment from their own doctor if they display one or more symptoms.

Do you have protective supplies for prisoners and personnel — masks, gloves, etc.? Yes, we have all protective supplies or as we refer to them, Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs). We have all the PPEs needed at this time as we stay prepared for situations of this nature. Additional supplies have been ordered to be on the safe side.

Are you communicating with other law enforcement agencies about “best practices?” Yes, being a nationally accredited agency we have been in contact with the American Correctional Association.

They have presented precautionary measures along with recommendations on what they believe are best practices for prevention. The Florida Sheriff’s Association has also been providing guidance and is open to dialogue when needed. We also work very closely with our South Florida partners, especially the Broward County Sheriff’s Office and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. We have shared ideas and information which we will continue to do.

RICHARD STRICKLAND Director of Airports, Monroe County How many commercial flights come into Monroe County every day? From where? Not counting general aviation or military, we have 74 inbound and outbound commercial flights from the Key West airport, 37 a day each way. Marathon doesn’t have any commercial service. Flights are coming in from Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Newark, La Guardia, Washington Regan National, Orlando, Miami, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale. This week, the numbers of passengers arriving started to go down, but planes leaving the Keys are filled with passengers. It’s an obvious trend.

Are any measures being implemented at our airports to screen incoming passengers and crew for coronavirus (temperature scans, extra sanitizing measures, etc.)? Some bigger airports have international arriving passengers, and international arriving passengers from hot spots create the need for government officials to intervene and help with screening for coronavirus. Once those passengers are cleared at those larger international airports and proceed to their connecting flights to destinations like Key West, which doesn’t have direct international flights, those passengers have already been deemed “clean.” So, we don’t have the same protocols in place as a large airport would have because we don’t have that influx of passengers coming from international cities.

What are you doing to protect your staff? Have masks, gloves been provided to them? We have gloves provided to those who want to use them, but staff don’t do a lot of touching of passengers. Plenty of hand sanitizer is available. We’ve implemented extra cleaning of restrooms and general areas that are touched a lot by the traveling public. We’ve also changed out all paper towel machines to have automatic sensors. We’re taking good health and hygiene measures to reduce areas people need to touch.

Is there anywhere at our airports where suspected cases can be isolated, tested and quarantined? In the very extreme, rare case a connecting passenger showed symptoms, my firefighting team (Aircraft Rescue Firefighting team) has the ability to get such a person to an ambulance for treatment. In their ability to respond, they have the PPE (personal protective equipment) to deal with the individual, make an assessment, and get them to the hospital. At the hospital where tests can be run, we can determine what the threat actually is. Until then, my firefighters can get people to ambulances and the hospital.

This hypothetical is, again, very rare and unlikely, but if it did occur, my team is equipped to handle it.

Have you seen any change in the volume of flights recently? In January, we were up 25%, and in February we were up 24%. Those numbers are likely to change significantly in March.

WE MOVE YOU RELAX GREG VELIZ Key West city manager UPDATE: Major U.S. cruise lines have voluntarily suspended operations for 30 days due to coronavirus The port is still open for marine traffic which includes recreational vessels.

Who has the authority to close a port? That authority lies with the federal government, which governs all ports. And as of now (March 12) they have chosen not to shut down.

We do not have the authority to shut down our port.

How is the port of Key West related to the ports of Miami and Port Everglades? We have to understand that our port, while very, very important to us and to the cruise industry, there are many, much larger, ports out there, all governed by the same authority, the federal government. So if in fact they start closing ports, you have to imagine they’ll focus on the bigger ports, such as Port of Miami, Port Everglades.

And essentially, if they restrict travel in those ports, that’ll shut us down anyway, so we’d just be a byproduct of a bigger shutdown.

Are cruise ships any more of a problem than, say, arriving airplanes? While there are studies of illnesses spreading within the confined space of a cruise ship, to single out cruise ships is somewhat unfair when we have airplanes filled with people landing constantly.

According to Monroe County Emergency Management on Friday, March 13: The Port of Key West is monitored by U.S. Coast Guard Station Key West. ALL cruise ships that enter Key West originate from a domestic port. The USCG has authority to deny entry to the port. The USCG and Custom and Border Patrol review every incoming cruise ship arrival.

The cruise ship is required to report any hazardous issues to the CDC & Florida Department of Health.

— (as stated in a March 12 radio interview)

MARK PORTER Superintendent, Monroe County schools, UPDATE: The Monroe County School District will be closed to students until April 15.

Staff will return next week, in part to help develop a plan for online instruction.

With students and teachers going on break, how is the school district planning and preparing in the event a teacher or student tests positive? A student or staff member who tests positive will be expected/required to selfisolate/quarantine for a period of 14 days.

What’s being done to protect teachers, staff and students? For the past several weeks we have implemented more frequent and vigorous surface cleaning protocols and have heavily emphasized personal hygiene practices that are effective in preventing the spread of any flu virus.

What’s the message to teachers, students and parents as they go on break? Relax and enjoy your spring break. We will continue to monitor the developments of COVID-19 and will keep everyone well informed. Based on the CDC travel advisories it might be a good time for a “staycation” to enjoy all the Florida Keys has to offer.

SPRING BREAK

EXTENDED DISTRICT ANNOUNCES MEAL PLAN FOR STUDENTS

O

n March 16, the Florida Department of Education announced that all public and private K-12 schools would be closed through mid-April.

With school out for the foreseeable future, districts including Monroe County are now working on a plan forward.

“As of now, we’re closed until April 15 and we’re still discussing anything further than that,” said Mindy Conn, school district board chair.

Teachers are still planning to come back next week to prepare plans for students, Conn said. But that could change.

Per the direction of the Florida Department of Education on March 13, Monroe County schools extended spring break an additional week, and students at that time weren’t to come back until March 30. Schools were also instructed to halt extracurricular activities, from sporting events to Mindy Conn musicals.

In its statement March 16, the department of education encouraged schools to operate virtually or through other nonclassroom-based means, while preparing to extend their educational calendars through June 30.

District officials recognize that many low-income students depend on the schools to provide free and reduced-price breakfasts and lunches throughout the week, said Conn.

Starting Monday, March 23, the district will distribute meals to eligible students from 11 a.m. to noon at seven locations countywide.

2 3

“We’ll do it on a drive-through basis at each location,” Conn said. “But parents must bring their children with them, because we’re only allowed to give the food to the students.

We’ll give each student one lunch and a breakfast for the following day.”

Conn added that representatives from the SOS Foundation food pantry may also be at the sites to give bulk food to families.

“We’re coordinating with the SOS Foundation food pantry right now on the efforts so we’re not duplicating,” she said.

The district’s response to COVID-19 from the beginning has been with a focus on prevention. Enhanced surface cleaning has gone one in all schools and buildings.

“Teachers will come back and we want everything to be sanitized,” Conn said.

The school district is also encouraging the following to prevent the onset and spread of COVID-19: • If you have not already done so, the Monroe County Health Department is recommending that you get a flu shot.

• Stay home if you have flu-like symptoms or any upper respiratory issues.

• Avoid contact with anyone who is sick or exhibiting flu-like symptoms.

The CDC offers the following considerations before travel within the U.S.: • Is COVID-19 spreading where you are going?

• Will you or your travel companion(s) be in close contact with others (e.g. air travel, conferences, public events)? Are you at high risk of severe illness?

More information is at keysschools.com.

At College of the Florida Keys, classes will transition to completely online instruction effective Monday, March 16. More information is at www.fkcc.edu.

“We’ll give each student one lunch and a breakfast for the following day.”

— Mindy Conn, Monroe County School District board chair

SCHOOL MEAL DISTRIBUTION SITES Free and reduced-price school meals will be distributed on a drivethrough basis starting at 11 a.m.

Monday, March 23. Parents must bring all eligible children with them.

Meals will not be given to parents without children. Meals will be distributed at the following seven locations: • Coral Shores High School • Marathon High School • Sugarloaf School • Key Largo School • Gerald Adams Elementary • Horace O’Bryant School • Key West High School

A look at what they're doing on the mainland

NOW TRENDING WATCH SPENSER CONFIDENTIAL Directed by Peter Berg and starring the likes of Mark Wahlberg and Winston Duke, a former police detective and ex-con returns to Boston’s criminal underworld to solve the mysterious murders of two cops. It’s action packed and full of comedy as Spenser teams up with an aspiring fighter to uncover a sinister conspiracy.

READ THE NIGHT WATCHMAN Based on the extraordinary life of National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich’s grandfather, who worked as a night watchman and carried the fight against Native dispossession from rural North Dakota all the way to Washington, D.C., this powerful novel explores themes of love and death with lightness and gravity and unfolds with the elegant prose, sly humor, and depth of feeling of a master craftsman. Erdrich creates a fictional world populated with memorable characters who are forced to grapple with the worst and best impulses of human nature.

SIGNS ELECTED LEADERSHIP IS LOSING CONTROL OF THE SITUATION 10) They attempted to shut down Sesame Street.

HISTORY

KEY WEST WEEKLY / MARCH 19, 2020

By David Sloan

THE BUM FARTO FILES:

A REGULAR JOE Key West Fire Chief Joseph “Bum” Farto disappeared Feb. 16, 1976 while awaiting sentencing for a drug trafficking conviction stemming from Operation Conch – a sting operation that found Farto allegedly selling cocaine from the city’s fire station. Facing a lengthy prison sentence, Farto (yes, it’s his real last name) became the Jimmy Hoffa of Key West, and the island has swirled with rumors of his fate since he disappeared.

David Sloan and Quincy Perkins have launched an unparalleled investigation into Chief Farto’s life, legends and long-ago disappearance in an attempt to find the truth. Each week they will share elements of their research here in the Key West Weekly while working to solve one of the greatest mysteries in the island’s history. Share your Bum Farto tips and stories at www.findbumfarto.com.

J

osé Farto was born in Key West, Florida on July 3, 1919, just a few months before the island was battered by the devastating hurricane that inspired Sister Gabriel to build a prayer grotto at St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church, asking the saints for protection from future storms.

Farto’s father was a restaurateur. Born in Budiño, Spain, Juan Farto had emigrated to Key West through Cuba in 1902. He married Juana Diaz of the Canary Islands in 1909 and, according to the 1910 census, worked as a chef on a P&O steamship that was based in Key West. José was the youngest of the couple’s three children, with sisters Juanita (b. 1909) and Maria (b. 1915). The Fartos grew up in Old Town, first on Fitzpatrick Street, and then on Greene Street in a home beside the family business.

Juan Farto opened the Victoria Restaurant on Duval Street in 1917.

The establishment had 70 seats and advertised “seafood a specialty” and “meals served at any time.”

The restaurant’s location next to Fire Station No. 1 proved instrumental in determining young José Farto’s future career. It also set the stage for the saints José would call upon for protection from storms of his own.

Juan Farto died in 1937, and his Victoria Restaurant property sold for $2,500 to a man named Joe Russell. Russell relocated his bar from across the street and brought a new legacy to the location by serving drinks to Ernest Hemingway. The building where young José “Bum” Farto grew up has been known as Sloppy Joe’s Bar ever since.

WHAT IF I AM SICK? sara@keysweekly.com

ALSO, STATE CHANGES HOW IT REPORTS CASES

This is what the state Department of Health dashboard used to look like. Starting March 18 it now requires a log in. CONTRIBUTED

T

here are no reported cases of COVID-19 in Monroe County as of 11:30 a.m. on March 18. Although this crisis has been ongoing for weeks, the state Department of Health of Monroe County was not telling residents how many patients have been tested in the Keys. On March 17, it finally released that data: at the time, it was 11 tested, 5 negative and the rest of the results are still pending. On March 18, it said 21 patients are awaiting test results.

It is also unknown how many tests are available in Monroe County. County officials said on March 18 they are trying to distribute the kits among private physicians, as well.

The CDC criteria for testing have changed this week. Testing is now at the discretion of a health care official, but there is no longer a

CDC directive that requires travel and exposure as a need for testing. That means a prescription is required to be tested for COVID-19.

For the most up-to-date COVID-19 numbers, visit floridahealth. gov and click on the newsroom tab. Under the trending topics header, choose “New Coronavirus.” On March 18, the health department — again — changed how it is reporting numbers. Now only totals are available, and not county-by-county numbers.

WHAT IF I THINK I AM SICK? If you suspect you have COVID-19 and believe a test is needed, call your doctor first. DO NOT show up unannounced and DO NOT go directly to one of the health department clinics in Monroe County.

“Please, protect our health

FREE HEALTH EVALUATIONS Baptist Health is offering free urgent care visits via its telehealth app, Care On Demand, which can help limit the spread of COVID-19 by keeping people home and out of waiting rooms.

Baptist Health is encouraging people who may be experiencing symptoms similar to those of COVID-19 to stay home and see a doctor from their smartphone, tablet or computer via the Baptist Health Care On Demand app. Online health care providers can answer questions, evaluate your risk and provide support to relieve symptoms.

To access a free urgent care visit, download Baptist Health Care On Demand on the app store, and select “Cold & Flu Care (Coronavirus Concerns)” in-app.

HOSPITALS MODIFY VISITING RULES Lower Keys Medical Center and Baptist’s Mariners and Fishermen’s hospitals have modified visitor protocols to protect patients and caregiving teams. Entrances have been reduced and verbal screening of visitors will take place. The number of visitors may be limited, and only adults may visit. In addition, Mariners has closed its cafeteria and wellness center (gym). Call ahead to confirm visitor policies.

Assisted living facilities and the detention center have also modified visits. Call ahead.

— Contributed care workers. If they get sick, we ALL suffer,” Dr. Bruce Boros told the Keys Weekly. “For any patient with breathing problems, non-productive coughing and a temperature above 100 degrees: call the health care facility before you go there for help. Get specific instructions from staff over the phone BEFORE you enter the office and waiting room.”

If you do not have a doctor, call your local urgent care or clinic.

These directions come straight from the CDC and state Department of Health in Monroe County. Patients must first see a medical health professional who will determine if you meet the criteria to be tested. The health department will then be contacted by the health professional if the patient meets the criteria for testing at the state lab.

For patients who meet the testing criteria, the state will conduct the test and samples collected by the Department of Health or the hospital. For patients who do not meet the testing criteria, samples can be sent to a private testing facility.

In Florida, state-run labs have the ability to run 5,300 tests a day, and private run labs are amping up facilities. State officials have said private labs will be able to process 50,000 tests a day in their

“We need to try to avoid any areas where people will be in close proximity to others.

For these critical weeks, it is highly recommended that for your safety and the safety of others and to help us ‘flatten the curve,’ you avoid crowds and keep at least 6 feet away from others.”

facilities. Patients still must meet a doctor’s criteria for testing.

Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay has said that Trauma Star will not transport COVID-19 patients at this time. Monroe County Fire Rescue will transport lifethreatening situations to the mainland regardless of COVID-19. As with any communicable disease, Monroe County Fire Rescue has policies and procedures in place to protect themselves and sterilize and protect future patients.

BY THE NUMBERS As of March 18 at 4:30 p.m., the state of Florida is reporting there are 314 confirmed cases, and seven deaths, of COVID-19 in Florida. Day to day, the state is changing how it reports those numbers. Up until March 16, residents could view a list of the persons infected with COVID-19 and learn what county they lived in, age and whether or not the virus was contracted through travel or community spread. Until March 18, the information available was the number of cases per county and age range. Numbers have reverted to a statewide count, and are not available county-by-county on the health department’s website.

TESTING SITE Community Health of South Florida, Inc. (CHI) was to begin testing its patients for coronavirus starting March 18 at its Doris Ison Health Center, 10300 SW 216 St. in Miami. Next week, CHI expects to add a testing location for its patients at the Marathon Health Center. Patients should call first.

MLB OPENING DAY Spring training was underway in Florida and Arizona, but it came to an abrupt end due to the COVID-19 outbreak. On March 17, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said the regular season will be postponed even further to mid-May at the earliest, following recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the statement, MLB said it would continue to monitor events and undertake the precautions and best practices recommended by public health experts, and urged all baseball fans to follow suit.

MARCH MADNESS, LITERALLY

NCAA tourney canceled, Wrestlemania goes on without fans NFL DRAFT The NFL draft will proceed as scheduled April 23-25, but the event will no longer be held in Las Vegas due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league says it’s exploring “innovative options for how the process will be conducted and will provide that information as it becomes available.” Commissioner Roger Goodell said the decision reflects “our foremost priority — the health and safety of all fans and citizens.”

For many sports fans, March is chock-full of madness, between the buzzer-beaters and Cinderella stories that come from the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournament. But that feel of madness is a bit different due to the evolving public health threat known as COVID-19. Not only was the NCAA tournament affected — the NCAA’s board of governors and president Mark Emmert decided to cancel on March 12 — but so have professional sporting events like MLB’s Opening Day and NASCAR, which was set to visit Homestead this weekend. Some events are moving forward, but they’re going on without any fans in attendance.

NASCAR AT HOMESTEAD Originally set for March 20-22, NASCAR officials decided on March 13 to postpone the upcoming races at Homestead. A rescheduled date hasn’t been determined yet, but tickets for the events will be honored when a new date is set. Alternatively, ticketholders may choose to receive a credit for the full amount paid plus an additional 20% of total amount paid to apply toward future events. To obtain a refund, ticket holders must request one within 30 days of the announcement. Officials have suspended races through the first weekend of May. Affected races include Texas (March 29), Bristol (April 5), Richmond (April 19), Talladega (April 26) and Dover (May 3).

WRESTLEMANIA 36 It’s not the stunner fans are used to seeing from the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, or in today’s WWE with Kevin Owens. The biggest event in wrestling sports entertainment, WrestleMania 36, will go on April 5 at 7 p.m., but it will be without the tens of thousands of fans who were expected to fill the seats at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay. Instead, WWE, per the decision on March 16, has moved the event to its Performance Center in Orlando where it’ll be streamed live via the WWE Network and pay-per-view.

It’s the first time in history that WrestleMania will go on behind closed doors.

THE MASTERS Augusta National Golf Club chairman Fred Ridley announced on March 13 that the Masters Tournament would be postponed. Originally set for April 9, a date hasn’t been announced for the first of four major championships in golf. “We hope this postponement puts us in the best position to safely host the Masters Tournament and our amateur events at some later date,” Ridley said. Per Golf. com’s John Sens, estimates have put the total economic impact of the Masters at $120 million for Augusta annually.

KROME’S IMPACT IS BEYOND RAIL KEYS HISTORY

MILES TO GO

BRAD BERTELLI www.keysweekly.com

W

illiam Julius Krome was born on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 1876, in Edwardsville, Illinois. The oldest of seven children, William was the lone son and would grow up to be a railroad engineer. He studied at both Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois and DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana and went on to study advanced engineering at Cornell University, but never graduated from the esteemed school. Krome’s biggest engineering accomplishment was becoming one of the men responsible for bringing Henry Flagler’s dream of a railroad to Key West to life. William Krome’s impact on South Florida and the Keys, however, has far outlived his work on the Key West Extension of the Florida East Coast Railway.

He first arrived in Florida, at Jacksonville, in the early months of 1899.

He had been in Savannah, Georgia when he received a telegram offering him a job with the Atlantic, Valdosta and Western Railway. When the line opened in the summer of 1899, the train ran between Valdosta, Georgia and Jacksonville.

After working surveying jobs in Florida, Georgia and Missouri, Krome headed home to visit family. Upon his arrival, his father told him about a letter that had arrived from A.L. Hunt of the Florida East Coast Railway, but that he had already forwarded it. William was pretty sure he knew the intent of the letter as he had read of Flagler’s interest in potentially crossing the Everglades. He was right. When Krome received the letter, he understood that Hunt was offering him a job.

It was the evening of Sept. 12, 1902, a Friday, when Krome left St. Louis to meet with Hunt in St. Augustine. Krome accepted a position with the company. One of his first jobs with the Florida East Coast Railway would bring him to South Florida. Flagler’s train had arrived as far south as Miami in 1896, but the port at Miami was too shallow for his grander plans, which included his train ending at a deep water port capable of accommodating his line of steamers.

Flagler was intent on building his terminus at one of the most populated cities in the state, one with a natural, deep harbor, Key West. There was one other option considered as a terminus for his line. For a short time, the idea

MANDY MILES

William J. Krome/ JERRY WILKINSON COLLECTION

of building a seaport miles out into the Atlantic Ocean off of Key Largo was considered. First up for Krome, however, was to survey a line that would take the train to a spot around which the town of Homestead would ultimately develop. From there, Krome was tasked with hiring a team that would explore the watery wilds of the Everglades. The job was to determine a line from Homestead that would cross the Everglades to Cape Sable and from there travel to No Name Key. At No Name Key, the line would travel to Key West. A letter written by Krome to a perspective member of his expedition team, a Mr. N.C. Woody, dated Oct. 4, 1902, reveals some of the hardships of this ambitious venture: “The location survey will probably last a month or six weeks and there I will reorganize my party and carry a stadia line and exploration through to Cape Sable. Such men as are able to stand the work, will accompany me on this latter work which will probably last all winter.

“Let me warn you however that unless you are willing to stand extreme privations, endless discomfort and hard work in a region that even the Seminole Indians shun and which no white man has ever penetrated, don’t monkey with this job. Every man whom I have with me knows that if he is one of the party who goes into the Glades that there is a very decent possibility of his never getting out. One or two have had nearly enough of it on this comparatively easy work, Also I will very gladly make a place for you on the party but don’t want you to go the expense of the trip with any mistaken ideas of the character of the work.

There is but one redeeming feature to it. There is no malaria or other climate diseases.”

More of the Krome story will appear in next week’s edition.

BUMPY RIDE

This too shall pass.

That’s what everyone keeps saying, at least. Of course, folks fail to mention that its passage will be as smooth and comfortable as, say, a kidney stone.

Besides, no one knows with absolute, scientific certainty that it will indeed someday be over.

Of course, we have to believe this isn’t the way the world will end. How anticlimactic would that be for the folks who’ve spent their lives expecting fire, brimstone and giant crevices opening in the earth’s crust to swallow sinners whole?

At least that’s got some drama — certainly more than a world filled with people staying indoors and sacrificing their sight to smartphone screens while wearing surgical masks (or perhaps, due to continuing supply shortages, welding or snorkel masks).

We’ve gotta go out with more style and drama than that.

But don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’ll come to that.

Speaking of style, we officially have none when it comes to the new healthy, but awkward, “elbow bump” that’s replaced Western culture’s traditional handshake.

Perhaps we’ll get better at this, although I do hope this nightmare ends before that silly looking, half-funky chicken dance takes hold and becomes the norm.

Again, think of the optics.

We look like a bunch of chuckleheads every time we encounter someone: Halfturn left, half-turn right, start over, half-step backward,

drops stuff, breaks things and falls down more than any adult should.

She’s married to a saintly — and handy — fisherman, and has been stringing words together in Key West since 1998.

laugh awkwardly and eventually make contact with the other person’s funny bone while repeating the same social cliches that quickly develop in times like this.

I know, I know, public health, not outward appearance, is the worldwide priority, as it should be.

So please don’t email me while you’re in the throes of some hysterical hissy fit over the severity of the situation, the threat we all face and the dangers of contagion. I get that. I really do.

But I also know, if we all can’t take a step back occasionally and find some levity in otherwise weighty circumstances, we’ll all eventually go crazy. Of course, based on some of the things I’ve been reading all week, some of us are already on the edge, just one online comment from being forced into one of those strappy, white, I-loveme jackets.

Yes, thousands of people have died. Yes, many more will become sick before we flatten this infamous curve and yes, this is quickly becoming as much a financial crisis as a public health threat.

But we’ve got this, Florida Keys. We do. We’ll get through this. We’ve recovered from citywide fires, hurricanes, oil spills, economic downturns and a host of other challenges.

Granted, this one is unprecedented.

But we shine in the worst of times. It’s when things are going well that we turn on each other.

So hang in there, Key West. Help someone in need.

Tip your delivery person well.

And for God’s sakes, work on the elbow bump. It’s just embarrassing.

CREATIVITY VS. CORONAVIRUS

HOW SOME LOCAL BUSINESSES ARE COPING, AND HOW YOU CAN HELP

A

s the world stutters and slows down amid coronavirus concerns, people are facing restaurant closures, potential curfews and, at worst, country-wide lockdowns. Still, within the pandemonium, some local businesses are finding ways to keep their lives going in this new reality.

“I think we’ll see some creativity from local businesses as things progress,” said Daniel Samess, CEO of the Marathon Chamber of Commerce. “Local businesses can adapt a lot more quickly than corporate because owners can make decisions on the fly instead of asking 18 managers. I think that’s something we’ll see and encourage.”

“Even though we’ll be closing our studio until the end of the month, with updates based on the situation, we’ll be offering free online classes. We wanted to offer our community a way to stay centered and grounded and hope the videos will encourage a sense of peace in the midst of uncertainty.”

— Chris and Carrlee Denault, co-owners of CMD Yoga, Key Largo

One of the work-arounds Samess has witnessed in this last week and hopes to see more of is restaurant owners moving servers or shift workers into delivery capacities, as restaurants limit or close their dining rooms but keep their “to go” and delivery services available. Samess notes, “This keeps workers busy, paid and with jobs.”

That’s precisely what’s happening at Enrico’s Pizza in Tavernier. Server Alecia Hoernemann said that while the restaurant remains open, the situation changes day to day. Hoernemann has noticed a huge uptick in orders “to go” and for delivery.

“Last night, ‘to gos’ were insane. For the past week, really,” she said.

The downturn in in-person service hasn’t affected the server, yet. “The kitchen is getting kicked really hard; there’s lots of pickup orders,” she said. “Luckily, we (servers) aren’t so busy so we can help bag.”

Many restaurants are shifting to offering only pickup and delivery. TIFFANY DUONG/Keys Weekly

The History of Diving Museum in Islamorada has taken a high-tech approach to self-quarantining. For the first time, it will be hosting its monthly Immerse Yourself! Lecture series as a Facebook Live event.

“Our first priority is the safety and wellbeing of our community,” executive director Lisa Mongelia said. “Second is to keep everyone engaged in a different capacity. With the president’s new initiative, we thought it was more prudent to livestream the event.”

The livestream, which is about Lake Erie, has generated excitement for the museum’s members in Ohio and Michigan, said Mongelia.

“They’re so glad we’re livestreaming so now they can participate.”

Samess emphasized again to keep everything local. He said, “Shopping local versus online supports our locals who volunteer at our events, employ other locals and contribute to our community. By supporting them, we allow them to continue to support our community in the future. Everyone, spend dollars locally to help your neighbors.”

“In this crazy time, absolutely, everyone has to adapt and change,” Mongelia added. “If you’re not, you’re stagnant and you’re not helping your community. We all can do our part.”

As a last note, Mongelia plugs, “Like us on Facebook and be part of the virtual evening.”

HOW TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES THROUGH THE COVID-19 CRISIS LOCAL BUSINESSES • Shop local! Instead of going online, try to pick up what you need from our local stores. We need these stores to survive this crisis and be there when it’s over.

• Don’t hoard supplies. Workers often don’t get to supply their own families until their shifts are finished, when everything is gone from shelves.

RESTAURANTS • Buy gift cards to use later. That way, lowmargin businesses have money now to get past this crisis.

• Tip well and thank workers in restaurants and for delivery. They are continuing to provide us with services during a crisis.

• Order “to go” or delivery. Many restaurants that are encouraging patrons to stay home will still make meals to eat at home, and servers can help as baggers and delivery people to still have work.

GYMS/YOGA STUDIOS • Don’t cancel or suspend your monthly memberships. They depend on this revenue to stay afloat.

• Ask if gyms/yoga studios will host any virtual classes online that you can participate in rather than coming in.

EVENTS If your favorite institutions will host events online instead of in-person, participate! Or ask them to shift events to online so we can all still support the community even while apart.

IT’S FIX A LEAK WEEK

T

he Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority (FKAA) is supporting the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Fix A Leak Week campaign, encouraging consumers to help put a stop to the more than 1 trillion gallons of water lost from household leaks each year.

The FKAA is redoubling its efforts during the March 16 – 22 event to engage customers in becoming leak detectives and encouraging consumers to heed the “Check, Twist, Replace” catchphrase to help save water. Leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water loss in an average home every year — the amount it takes to wash 270 loads of laundry.

To help save water for future generations, the FKAA is asking consumers to: Check for leaks. Look for dripping faucets, showerheads, sprinklers, and other fixtures. Also check for toilets with silent leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring into the tank, waiting 10 minutes, and seeing if color appears in the bowl before you flush.

Don’t forget to check irrigation systems and spigots too.

Twist and tighten hose and pipe connections. To save water without a noticeable difference in flow in your bathroom, twist on a WaterSense labeled faucet aerator.

Replace the fixture if necessary. Look for WaterSense-labeled models, which are independently certified to use 20 percent less water and perform as well as or better than standard models.

In many cases, fixture replacement parts pay for themselves quickly and can be installed by handy do-ityourselfers or local plumbing professionals.

Since toilet leaks are the most common household leaks, the FKAA is providing free toilet dye tablets to help customers find those pesky, and often silent, intermittent leaks.

Tablets can be obtained at any FKAA customer service office.

ing burns.

“We pick the day and the timing, and we use natural barriers within the Everglades ecosystem to manage fire spread,” said Gue. “On top of that, we have personnel on-site using pumps, engines, airplanes and helicopters to manage where fire goes.”

The beneficial reason the fire enthusiast is setting the ’Glades on fire might not be readily apparent. It’s all about fuel reduction.

Against a backdrop of flames around the Ernest Coe Visitor’s Center, Gue explains, “We’re purposefully putting fire on the ground around the visitor’s center and Everglades headquarters to try and reduce the hazardous fuels that you see.”

The Everglades is a “fire-adapted” ecosystem, meaning it is supposed to burn. Without fires, the pine rocklands become shrubberies and many native plants disappear, explains Gue. For those worried about the animals, there’s no need to, adds Gue. His team observed a Florida panther hunting ahead of a prescribed burn. “It was attracted to the smoke. It followed the burn to hunt rabbits and other animals escaping the flames,” Gue says.

“These plants and animals are adapted to the fires.”

Fire has always been part of the environment here and part of South Florida, he said. Because humans moved into these environments and began suppressing fires, “fuels” like grasses, shrubs and trees build up over time and set the scene for potentially catastrophic wildfires.

Gue and his team use prescribed fires as a tool to reduce that fuel and protect the communities and park infrastructures around the Everglades from unplanned, uncontrolled wildfires.

“Introducing fire back into these ecosystems creates balance, not just for the ecology but also the communities,” Gue said. “Six million people live in South Florida and have built into fire-adapted ecosystems. The ecosystems have always needed fire, but the communities built into them. They are what burns if we don’t burn the fuel.”

Gue’s team has burned 100,000 acres a year for the last three years to prevent catastrophes like the Australian bush fires or the wildfires in California.

The landscape comes back quickly, with new green shoots coming up from scorched earth within three days and some animals needing the ash to lay their larvae.

There’s also a massive cost saving. Prescribed burns cost the park $4.50 per acre — and officials pick the timing. It could cost over $500 per acre to get a wildfire under control, said Gue. “We need to shift the way we think about fire to figure out how to live with fire and have fire as part of these ecosystems,” he says. “Then, we can proactively manage this risk.”

He cautions, “Being reactive is more risky, more costly. Proactive benefits ecology, saves money, and can save lives.”

“Let’s go light some stuff on fire!”
