NUMBER OF THE WEEK The number of “mystery unmanned ocean crafts” spotted off the Florida Keys. FishMonster posted a photo of a curious vehicle sighted near Key West last week. According to sources, it’s a Wave Glider manufactured by Liquid Robotics. “The antennas suggest it's part of a U.S. Navy program,” according to Forbes.

POLICING THE PANDEMIC Key West enforces mask rules MANDY MILES

mandy@keysweekly.com

K

ey West code and police officers, as well as some restaurant and retail employees, have been verbally abused, obscenely harassed and spat upon in the past week. One teen-aged boy purposely and repeatedly coughed on two code compliance officers Saturday, when they asked the teen and his parents to put on their masks.

The officers had already asked the father once, and when they asked his son and wife to do the same, the father screamed at Key West code officers Rachel Kobylas and Sophia Doctoche, “F***ING ASK NICELY!” The family repeatedly refused to show the officers their identification and verbally berated them, reports state. “(The father) began further profanely shouting at myself and Officer Doctoche,” Kobylas wrote. “His teenage son and his family joined in with this terrifically negative verbose abuse. We asked for IDs again, they refused ... We then followed them from a safe social distance, at which point the son, of unknown age, took his mask off and began coughing on us, along with more profanities and law enforcement slurs.

“The family walked into the park-

ing garage and began to scatter as we called Key West Police for backup. They left the teenager behind and he stayed there right up until (police) arrived, at which point he took off running and left the area immediately.”

In addition to code compliance officers, Key West Police are tasked with mask enforcement, and earlier this week were “cross-designated” as code officers, so they can issue and enforce civil citations as well as criminal citations, City Manager Greg Veliz said.

“This was done for an indefinite period of time, but it’s not going to be a ‘forever and beyond’ situation,” Veliz told Keys Weekly on June 30. He added that the cross-designation applies to all sworn Key West police officers. They will not receive additional pay for the crossdesignation, Veliz said, and are concentrating on masks and alcohol rules.

The Monroe County Tourist Development Council also provided 30 signs that line the lampposts of Duval Street reminding people to wear masks, keep their distance and wash their hands.

In an effort to protect the public’s health, control crowds and ensure safe social distances, police have been closing Duval Street to vehicular traffic in the evening and handing out free masks to pedestrians without them.

With Florida bars prohibited from selling alcohol, more people are congregating on the sidewalks, city spokeswoman Alyson Crean said.

“Closing Duval Street to cars allows more space for people to spread out safely,” she said.

Code compliance officers, during the day on June 27, issued 16 verbal warnings to business owners and employees throughout town, including restaurants and retail shops, according to records from the city’s Code Compliance department.

Those records also show that on the night of June 27 and in the daytime on June 28, code officers issued 35 verbal warnings, two citations and asked one downtown bar that was “open and actively selling mixed drinks to patrons in their own sealed, lidded containers” to “shut down its operation,” according to department reports. A statewide ruling prohibits alcohol consumption in a bar.

“Our concern is for the health, safety and well-being of our beautiful community and this tiny island we call home. We will continue to do our best to protect it,” Kobylas wrote.

On a lighter note, masks were in place and only Starbucks coffee and sparkling water were being sold in the Cabaret at The 801 Bar, which hosted alcohol-free drag shows over the weekend.

“People were so nice,” co-owner Jim Gilleran said. “They were so grateful to have something to do, and I can’t say enough good things about the city’s police and code officers.

We invited them in to take photos to show that we weren’t selling alcohol.

It worked out great and we were able to put Sushi and the 801 Girls back to work.”

CROWD CONTROL

Hey, mainlanders, everything is canceled for holiday weekend

By Sara Matthis, Jim McCarthy and Mandy Miles

The county’s Tourist Development Council has ceased all paid advertising for the next two weeks. The TDC has expanded its messaging regarding COVID-19 safety measures throughout the Keys. ANDY NEWMAN/ Florida Keys News Bureau

T

he City of Marathon was the last holdout with scheduled fireworks. On July 1, during a special call meeting, the show was canceled by a unanimous vote.

“Celebrating the freedom we have is having choices to rule our own destinies,” said Marathon Mayor Steve Cook, who said he hated the idea of canceling the Independence Day celebration.

“We put faith in elected officials to represent us — all of us. This was an emotional decision and not taken lightly.”

Although there had been discussion of having the show but closing the viewing area of Sombrero Beach — the usual gathering place to watch — the council decided to forgo it altogether in the interests of safety and fairness. If the show had proceeded, officials thought a roadblock would be necessary to prevent tailgating in the beach neighborhood, an enclave of expensive homes. Marathon officials said the show would be rescheduled.

Marathon’s Sombrero and Coco Plum public beaches are closed from Thursday, July 2 to Tuesday, July 7. Marathon’s other city parks are open unless they become overcrowded and social distancing cannot be observed.

Marathon’s 33rd Street and Harbor Drive public boat ramps will be open this weekend with an extra detail of law enforcement to monitor. City Manager Chuck Lindsey said The Quay boat ramp reconstruction is three weeks behind schedule but is hopeful that it will be open for the holiday weekend.

Monroe County, Key West and other municipalities are enacting similar safety measures, following decisions cast in the tri-county area of Miami Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Keys officials say that the cancellations north of the Keys might encourage mainland tourists to come to the Keys for Fourth of July festivities. Miami-Dade continues to have the highest COVID-19 infection rate in the state.

Here’s a rundown of closures: STATEWIDE On June 26, the state closed bars again as Florida experiences a big surge in coronavirus cases. The order states: Establishments that derive more than 50% of their gross revenue from the sales of alcohol beverages must suspend sales of alcohol for consumption on the premises. These establishments can continue to sell beverages in sealed containers for consumption off premises (package sales). Establishments that are also licensed as public food service establishments or restaurants under Chapter 509 can continue to operate for on-premises consumption of food and alcoholic beverages at tables so long as social distancing is preserved. Bar service — where patrons are served at the restaurant’s bar whether seated or standing — is not allowed.

State parks in the Keys will also be closed Friday through Sunday including Fort Zachary Taylor in Key West, Bahia Honda in the Lower Keys and Curry Hammock and Long Key state parks in the Middle Keys.

COUNTYWIDE All county beaches and parks will be closed from Thursday, July 2 to Tuesday, July 7. County-owned boat ramps west of Marathon will be open.

A county ordinance requires everyone entering a business or working in a business to be masked. The exception

is for seated restaurant patrons. Violators who refuse to don a mask shall be asked to leave. If they refuse, the offenders can be charged with trespass.

Civil fines range from $500 to $1,500.

At this time, there is no plan to resume a checkpoint at the top of the Keys limiting access to locals and local employees only.

Monroe County Administrator Roman Gastesi says he’s been “bombarded” with questions about raising the traffic checkpoints at the top of the Keys. At this point, he said, it seems unlikely it will resume.

“There’s no playbook for this. All we can do is keep our eyes on the number of available hospital beds, the percentage of positive cases,” Gastesi said.

Here are telephone numbers where citizens can report COVID-19 safety violations: Unincorporated Monroe County: 305-289-2819 Key West: 305 809-3740 Marathon: 305-289-5024 Key Colony Beach: 305-289-1212 ext. 3 Islamorada: 305-664-6435 Layton: 305-664-4667

“What I can say is that when the time comes to bring the checkpoint back, it will be very evident.

UPPER KEYS Closures take effect Thursday, July 2 for all parks and beaches in the village of Islamorada, including the beach, pool and all amenities at Founders Park. No entry will be allowed for Islamorada residents or visitors. A reopening is slated for the morning of July 7.

The boat ramp at Founders Park Plantation Yacht Harbor Marina remains open to Islamorada residents during the July 4 holiday weekend. People must show ID with an Islamorada address or a Founders Park Resident ID card for proof of residency or home ownership.

The popular day trip destination in the Fills will also be closed to the public, including the Indian Key boat ramp area.

The annual fireworks display off Blackwater Sound in Key Largo is canceled, event organizers confirmed on June 27. The 45th annual Key Largo Chamber of Commerce’s parade is also canceled.

BIG PINE KEY The fireworks display has been canceled.

KEY COLONY BEACH Sunset Beach is closed. Key Colony Beach City Hall (excluding the police department) is closed due to a staff member who tested positive for COVID19. Employees are working from home as they are able.

KEY WEST Key West lawmakers voted unanimously but regretfully on June 27 to cancel the city’s fireworks display and related events planned by The Rotary Club of Key West in light of significantly increasing case counts in the Keys and visitors’ behavior downtown the week prior, which Mayor Teri Johnston called “blatant disregard for our city’s rules and efforts.”

The city also has closed beaches and parks from Thursday, July 2 until 6 a.m. Tuesday, July 7 to prevent large gatherings.

Finally, Key West police have been closing Duval Street in the evenings to allow pedestrians to practice social distancing.

ELECTION 2020

KEY WEST / MARATHON / UPPER KEYS WEEKLY / JULY 2, 2020

CATES, MANNIX VIE FOR BOCC DISTRICT 1 SEAT

M

onroe County has lost tourism revenue, tax revenue and residents throughout the coronavirus crisis. Additional changes are ahead, as the island chain deals with sea level rise, housing shortages for working residents, the continuing decline of the coral reef and the steep cost of employee salary and benefit packages.

The race for Monroe County Commission District 1 has incumbent Republican Craig Cates facing Demoratic challenger Annalise Mannix vying to represent constituents in Key West.

Gov. Ron DeSantis in December 2019 appointed Cates to the county commission to complete the term of former county commissioner Danny Kolhage that ends Nov. 17, 2020. Cates is now campaigning to keep that seat.

He served as mayor of Key West from 2009 until 2018. Before that, he owned a Napa Auto Parts store for 10 years.

Mannix is the former head of the city of Key West’s engineering department.

She owns an engineering firm and more recently has worked with Fair Insurance in Monroe (FIRM) to control windstorm insurance rates in the Florida Keys.

The District 1 race formerly pitted Cates in a primary against tax collector Danise “Dee Dee” Henriquez, who withdrew from the race on June 10.

Keys Weekly asked both candidates to answer the following four questions in 100 words or fewer (answers are as submitted): 1. If you had sole authority to make one immediate and permanent change to Monroe County government (with regard to policies, operations, personnel, payroll or anything else) what would you do?

2. Financial losses due to the coronavirus pandemic are still being calculated and continue to rise at the local, state, national and global level. As Monroe County develops its budgets for the next five years, where, specifically, should cuts be made, and how do you envision the impact on property taxes?

3. With the benefit of hindsight, what should Monroe County have done differently in response to the coronavirus pandemic?

4. What must Monroe County do to encourage and enable more affordable housing options in the Keys?

Name: Annalise Mannix Age: 57 Professional Background: Professional Engineer Political Party: Democtratic Current Job: Planning and Development Engineering Manager 1. The cost of sustaining the Keys lifestyle and environment is high. Management of tourism and reducing and mitigating its impacts responsibly are needed more than tourism development. Adjusting tourism related taxes to help pay for more county capital projects will help ensure a sustainable future. Shifting that savings from the capital budget to help county staff ensure tourism no longer reduces workforce housing stock will support our struggling employers and workforce.

2. Property taxes contribute 20% to the County’s $473 million budget. Property values are holding but raising the millage must not solve a shortfall in the other 80%. Where state and federal funding is cut, the programs should be trimmed. Less sales tax means continuing to cover debt service but delaying capital projects.

A strong advocate for Climate Change I believe planning should continue, but implementation of large projects must be delayed. Delay implementation for a year and re-evaluate the priority of canal restoration versus road elevation.

As the economy recovers, reevaluate staffing levels and alternate options to excessive use of overtime pay.

3. Let’s be fair. Leading the response to a worldwide pandemic comes from the top – national and state directives. Monroe County established checkpoints that helped protect citizens immensely. Their two-week experiment with ‘requiring masks,’ just when the County was just opening up, was less successful. I would have required masks in order to send a message to returning visitors – “WEAR YOUR MASK!” After Hurricane Irma, the County knew it had an emergency pay problem. They should have fixed it sooner. Yes, some employees faced increased risk working with COVID-19, but not 90% of the County employees.

4. Who doesn’t want to live in Paradise?

Demand outstrips supply and property values soar. This long environmentally sensitive chain of islands can only handle so much housing before our narrow highway restricts safe evacuation.

Were there a silver bullet, the problem would have been solved long ago.

Focusing our efforts on housing for workers rather than retirees will help. Increasing workforce housing building height and density will help. Awarding and implementing ROGOs in a mix of rents that match the real workforce need helps. Putting large apartment complexes within or close to employment centers with bicycles, scooters and bus transport helps.

MANDY MILES

mandy@keysweekly.com

Name: Craig C. Cates Age: 66 Professional Background: Business Owner, World Champion Boat Racer, Master Mechanic Political Party: Republican Current Job: County Commissioner 1. Fortunately, our system of democracy does not provide for unilateral decision-making, however, if given magical powers for one day, I would solve affordable housing and get rid of the coronavirus.

2. While we must tighten our belts and do more with less, protecting our quality of life and improving services for residents continues to be my priority. When I was first elected mayor of Key West, the City was facing a budget shortfall due to the worst financial crisis in history.

Working together with other commissioners and City staff, and using my business background, I successfully led the City's response. The result: A budget surplus each year I was Mayor. At the same time, we improved city services and infrastructure and kept taxes lower than in unincorporated Monroe County.

3. Everyone is working with the best information available and is responding in real-time.

Now is the time for us as leaders to listen, understand, and answer with action. Evaluating and improving our course of action is a continual and ongoing process — now is not the time for "Monday morning quarterbacking," as we continue to face an ongoing pandemic. We will have an open and honest evaluation of the county's response in the future and will bring the knowledge and lessons learned as an organization into our planning moving forward.

4. We must work together to find creative solutions to our housing shortage and to protect the affordable housing that we already have.

This includes working with our state and federal delegation to maintain local control and providing incentives for landlords to rent affordably.

I am using my experience working with our representatives to help facilitate these efforts right now. We should look at increasing density with restrictions where it makes sense. We must make sure we protect and preserve our neighborhoods, our health and safety, and our quality of life.

KEYS HISTORY

KEY WEST / MARATHON / UPPER KEYS WEEKLY / JULY 2, 2020

Love Me Do How the Beatles fought racism from a Key West motel DAVID L. SLOAN

www.keysweekly.com

B

eatlemania took America by storm in 1964, but that same year, the president of the Florida Hotel & Motel Association dumped muriatic acid on black people who were swimming in a “whites-only” pool.

The Beatles were in Las Vegas when a reporter informed them the Jacksonville, Florida stadium they were scheduled to play on Sept. 11, 1964, was segregated. Paul McCartney stood defiantly and said, “We are not going to play there.” John Lennon added, “No f***ing chance that’s happening.” All of the Beatles agreed. Just weeks later, the young band drew a line in the sand against America’s systemic racism from a Key West motel.

Key West was never part of the Beatles’ planned itinerary. Hurricane Donna necessitated a routing change, and their plane touched down in Key West at 3:36 a.m. on Sept. 9, 1964. Three hundred Key West teens swarmed the Key Wester Motel on South Roosevelt, near the airport, as Ringo, George, John and Paul checked in with their entourage.

The Beatles slept late on Sept. 10, but spent time later that day by the pool with a photographer from “Life” magazine. During the photo shoot, one of the Beatles shared the swimming pool with members of their black opening band, The Exciters. Reports of a Beatle in the pool with black women “enraged Southern reporters,” according to reports. But the Beatles were just getting started.

The Key West swimming pool incident was a muscle flex. Reports indicate authorities at Jacksonville’s Gator Bowl stood their ground on their segregation policy until just hours before the scheduled concert. Meanwhile, the Beatles extended a long middle finger from the Southernmost City by refusing to budge. Newspapers reported that extra time needed to launder the Exciters’ costumes delayed the Fab Four’s arrival in Jacksonville, but history shows the real reason for the delay: The Beatles refused to tolerate racism or play a segregated stadium.

The underlined section of the Beatles’ performance contract shows the band refusing to perform in segregated venues. Contributed

After experiencing America’s racism in Jacksonville, the Beatles added a clause to their contract stating they would not play to segregated audiences. Paul McCartney wrote “The Night You Cried” about his time in Key West, and the Florida events helped forge the Beatles song “Blackbird.”

Paul McCartney recently posted to social media, “I feel sick and angry that here we are almost 60 years later and the world is in shock at the horrific scenes of the senseless murder of George Floyd at the hands of police racism. ... I want justice for all those who have died and suffered. Saying nothing is not an option.“ Key West has a long history of ignoring racism. And despite our claims of acceptance today, this history must be shared, so it is not repeated. Stay tuned to Keys Weekly in the coming weeks for “Love Me Do: Times Key West was an Unhuman Family.”

As Paul says, silence is not an option.

EIGHT NEW CASES OF DENGUE FEVER REPORTED Total number now at 10 in Monroe County this year JIM McCARTHY

D

jim@keysweekly.com

Dengue virus

Truck and/or aerial adulticide treatments are conducted throughout the areas of concern to reduce the mosquito population. Mosquito traps in the area monitor the Aedes aegypti population.

Collected mosquitoes are tested for mosquito-borne diseases.

engue cases in the Keys jumped to 10 for the year after the Florida Department of Health reported eight new cases on June 26. Positive cases are in the Key Largo area, according to health and mosquito control officials.

The health department says the individuals are being treated and are expected to make a full recovery. Meanwhile, Florida Keys Mosquito Control District is assisting with the investigations and has intensified its mosquito control activities in Key Largo.

Monroe County had one reported case of dengue this year, until June 19 when the health department confirmed the second known case in Key Largo.The health department in Monroe County, as well as the Division of Disease Control and Health Protection, are working to find the origin and extent of these infections.

Dengue can present severe flu-like illness with severe muscle aches and pain, fever and sometimes a rash.

There are usually no respiratory symptoms, health officials say. Symptoms of dengue appear within 14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito.

Dengue fever is not contagious but is transmitted by the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito.

The emergence of dengue cases is emphasizing measures the public should take to prevent insect bites and help limit exposure. Such steps include ensuring intact windows and screens and the use of air conditioning, keeping the area around the residence free from containers that collect water, wearing protective clothing and the appropriate use of insect repellents.

More information is at florida-

health.gov/dengue or keysmosquito.org. Those who are experiencing any symptoms or have additional questions can call DOH-Monroe at 305-293-7500 and choose option 3.

Florida Keys Mosquito Control District mobilized to combat dengue fever cases The Florida Keys Mosquito Control District (FKMCD) activated its proven mosquito-borne disease response plan to address the recently confirmed cases of dengue fever in Key Largo.

As soon as FKMCD is notified by the health department of a suspected case for any mosquito-borne disease, FKMCD conducts door-to-door inspection and treatment of every residence and business in a three-block radius from the suspected case location and/or other outdoor areas visited. Any adult and/or larval mosquitoes found are treated on the spot.

“We’re doing everything we normally do, but on an enhanced basis in situations like these,” said Chad Huff, public information officer with FKMCD. “We are taking a lot of staff from other parts of the Keys and moving them into that area to speed up the process.”

Truck and/or aerial adulticide treatments are conducted throughout the areas of concern to reduce the mosquito population. Mosquito traps in the area monitor the Aedes aegypti population. Collected mosquitoes are tested for mosquito-borne diseases.

Public awareness is a critical line of defense in the fight against mosquito-borne disease.

Homeowners can do their part by taking a few simple steps to remove potential breeding sites: • Eliminate any standing water by turning over and removing empty pots, buckets, trash cans, recycle bins, pet bowls and children’s toys.

• Check tarps on boats or equipment and make sure gutters are clean.

• Flush fresh water into bromeliads, hanging plants, and bird feeders.

To place a service request with FKMCD, visit www.keysmosquito.org or call 305-292-7190.

OPINION

KEY WEST / MARATHON / UPPER KEYS WEEKLY / JULY 2, 2020

MAIN CONCERN IS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

A

s I watched the recent virtual FKMCD board meeting when Oxitec presented their newly approved product for a trial here in the keys, I reminisced about the seven years of research I have done on this company and shook my head in disbelief. Why are we still courting them? For years we, the concerned citizens, have craved data about this project, not just promises. My main concern is the potential negative impact to our environment and our residents. They touted their previous mosquito the ox513a as sterile males that mate with the local females and all of the larvae die and they can not persist in the environment. That is not what happened in previous trials in Cayman and Brazil. I prayed the EPA would evaluate this new technology with razor sharp precision, but they did not. The EPA had approved this trial based on a two-page letter requesting approval and the use of a heavy hitting lobbyist. Only after the permit was issued did supporting documents appear in the docket. During the public comment period 31,174 people expressed their concerns opposing this trial and 56 were in support. Yet it passed through. I have always felt that our government is behind the times of these new emerging technologies and need to start a new division to regulate them. I am not alone.

Recently, vector biologists, geneticists, policy experts and bioethicists, are concerned that current government oversight and scientific evaluation of GM mosquitoes do not ensure their responsible deployment.

To address these shortcomings, the Institute for Sustainability, Energy and Environment at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign convened a “Critical Conversation” on GM mosquitoes.

A primary takeaway from this conversation was an urgent need to make regulatory procedures more transparent, comprehensive and protected from biases and conflicts of interest such as the EPA only using documentation from Oxitec to make decisions instead of using third party input.

This is impossible because Oxitec will not share their data.

I have read the internal emails received by a FOIA request in Cayman which clearly demonstrate that gm females were released in a trial there and the Cayman scientist said he was “firmly of the opinion that the data does not support a claim of 62% suppression.” Oxitec still claims upwards of 90% in their trials. That scientist remains under an NDA today.

No human impact studies were required by the EPA because Oxitec claims they only release males which do not bite, although the Cayman FOIA shows otherwise. The Environmental Species Act was not taken into account and there is currently a lawsuit against the EPA for being in violation of it.

Before we release potentially a half billion gm mosquitoes into our environment, potentially ruining tourism again, I demand data releases and proper regulatory oversight.

Although I do not consent to this trial, I have no way to opt out. Please watch the FKMCD website for the upcoming Oxitec presentation to the public and join in with any concerns you have.

GMMS: ‘THEY’RE BACK!’ BUT WHY?

T

o those of us who have opposed any premature release of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes (GMMs) in the Keys, Oxitec and their mutant mosquitoes seem like a continuous loop of Friday the 13th movies.

It doesn’t matter to our Florida Keys Mosquito Control District (FKMCD) that the EPA was not going to approve the last technology, so Oxitec pulled their application, versus suffer a clear rebuke of the EPA. Like usual, Oxitec spins that in a positive direction suggesting they pulled their application to apply with the new OX5034 mosquito, even though it was over a year away in development to even apply for an Experimental Use Permit (EUP). Oxitec’s comments being the latest episode of them, versus the truth, an “oil and water” saga, playing as a double feature in this surreal nightmare.

It also doesn’t matter that the Cayman, via 128 pages of emails from the Chief Scientist, Dr Alan Wheeler, for the Mosquito Research and Control Unit (MRCU) equivalent to the FKMCD, show that Oxitec ran an amateur lab where mold grew, people followed zero quality standards consider normal in any chemical working environment, like not using bare hands in the tetracycline trays, or walking around in tetracycline bath water acting as if antibiotic resistant bacteria couldn’t happen here.

The emails released with a freedom of information request show that Oxitec, who swore an oath in front of the US Senate, Energy and Commerce Committee, and stated, “only males are released,” “all the offspring die,” and that the “mosquitoes cannot hybridize with wild mosquitoes,” because they all die, simply lied!

If your neighbor had their house painted and 2 weeks later it had faded and was peeling, would you hire the painter when they offered you a deal on your house? But our FKMCD commissioners would! This is the status of where we are now and why GMMs are a point of controversy again.

Nearly three dozen doctors in the Lower Keys signed a petition asking simply to test the GMMs for antibiotic bacteria promotion (MRSA), but Oxitec has refused. Given all their other failures, it is understandable, but our FKMCD Commissioners continue to put our community at risk, by not simply requiring this profit vendor provide samples for independent, testing to be done before hand.

It is quite perplexing, that our FKMCD has witnessed all of the lies, failures and obfuscation from this vendor, at one point almost signing a contract, until exposed, that would have put Oxitec in complete control of all information and results for any experiment and made our FKMCD workers work for them. Yet our FKMCD Commissioners act as if Oxitec is some sort of godsend to solve all our mosquito problems. The Dengue outbreak in Key Largo is clear indication that the FKMCD has taken their eye off the ball and have permitted mosquitoes that can transmit disease, to prosper in places where they never did before.

Not performing the basics well, continues to support their goal to make Oxitec their high-tech savior.

CAN WE ALL JUST DISAGREE? Revisiting our op-ed and opinion policies

E

veryone has an opinion.

And you know what they say about opinions — everyone has one (or something like that). Well before the dawn of social media platforms, people could disagree — often over a beer or beverage of choice. And while neither party might walk away with a reformed outlook, a certain degree of mutual respect could often be achieved through archaic and forgotten courtesies like eye contact and respectful dialogue.

Those days are long behind us.

The 24-hour rule has been replaced by the 24-second rule. Some of the most vile and nasty dialogue ever spewed can be found in the comments section of almost any social media post that doesn’t align with someone else’s worldview. Much like those who come unglued in private fits of road rage, the perpetrators and practitioners of online slander would seldom dare repeat their disparaging slights in the presence of an actual human.

Because of this, newspapers and periodicals offer op-ed and opinion pieces as an essential alternative to online anonymity. For every pretend lawyer and Google MD wannabe doctor trolling social media posts, op-ed pieces (by design) attract those willing to conduct actual research, examine various sides of an issue and — most of all — measure the accuracy and power behind their words.

At the Keys Weekly, we consciously work to avoid sensationalized journalism. Over the past few weeks, we chose to run two opposing op-ed pieces on the continuing cruise ship debate here in Key West. (The term “op-ed” relates to the placement of such an opinion piece — opposite the editorial — and is typically authored by someone not associated with the newspaper’s editorial board.)

The idea was to allow respected members from opposing sides of the debate an opportunity to voice their position. The intended outcome was to avoid sensationalism and elicit thought (and possibly some compromise) within the opposing factions.

However, some mistakes were made, unfortunately, all of them by me (the publisher and partner here at the Weekly). First, we allowed one side of the cruise ship debate to fire the first shot with a full-page op-ed. A week later we allowed the opposition —with a full seven days to strat-

egize — to counter.

Not only that, no parameters were shared with either respected author on the guidelines and policies within our opinion pieces.

After each piece BRITT was published, I MYERS received emails and calls from readers traded in a life of monetary success, who called me an array of epithets. a chiseled body and intellectual Labels like “traitor,” enlightenment for “sellout” and “racist” a piece of the pie were all thrown at of the Keys Weekly me for publishing newspapers. He opinions that repis also the proud parent of an resented opposing incredible ninesides of the debate. year-old son and And while the husband to Kirby. racist remark was later retracted (that friend apologized), I sadly realized our op-ed platform was a not-too-distant cry from the social media paradigms of the “tit for tat” warfare I was attempting to break free of.

I’ve been called many things — some deservingly, I’ll admit. And other times it simply comes with the territory.

In this business, it helps to have an extra layer of Kevlar strapped securely over your heart and soul. And while the cruise ship issue will continue to be a contentious hot-button debate in our community, the one label I hope always to avoid is “unfair.” Moving forward, we will continue to offer a balanced dais for dialogue and debate, with a few hardknock caveats picked up over the past few weeks.

For starters, we will extend an invitation to counter each and every op-ed within the same issue or paper — rather than affording the opposition a potential straw target to pick apart. In addition, we will demand edits or omissions for any open attacks on personal names, referenced businesses or organizations not relevant to the theme or spirit of the message.

After all, I whole-heartedly believe the majority of Keys residents are far better than the digital trolls who thrive on the divisive temperament of our nation. And while we may disagree from time to time here at home, the majority of residents share a passionate vision for the vitality and future of the Keys.

Even within One Human Family we are allowed to disagree. The difference is whether we engage in productive dialogue or hit the proverbial “unfriend” button on anyone that opposes our agenda. Don’t be fooled into the recent paradox of ultimatums. It is OK (and sometimes healthy) to agree to disagree — especially over a beer.

ON THE WATER

KEY WEST / MARATHON / UPPER KEYS WEEKLY / JULY 2, 2020

3 WAYS TO HAVE FUN ON THE WATER The Lower Keys Dolphin Tournament — set for Friday to Sunday, July 10-12 — promises to challenge angling teams.

Dolphin fish are the target and teams can vie for more than $35,000 in cash and prizes during the 27th annual Lower Keys Chamber of Commerce Dolphin Tournament. Tournament events are to be headquartered at Kiki’s Sandbar on Little Torch Key. The boat team that catches the tournament’s largest dolphin fish can take home $7,500 and a trophy — with an added premium of $20,000 if the winning dolphin weighs over 50 pounds.

Cash and trophies also await the secondthrough fourth-place teams and the team that catches the largest blackfin tuna. Prizes are based on a minimum field of 30 registered boats. Awards in the youth division, for anglers age 15 and under, include prizes and trophies through third place.

The tournament is set to kick off July 10. The mandatory captains’ meeting will be virtual and iis scheduled for 7 p.m. Angling action commences at 7 a.m. the next two days. Saturday’s weigh-in is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. and end at 7 p.m. at Kiki’s Sandbar. Masks and social distancing will be required. Sunday’s fishing is to conclude with a weigh-in set from 3 to 5 p.m., also at Kiki’s.

If winners are present, they can collect their trophy and winnings; those who are not present will be notified. Again, masks and social distancing will be required.

Tournament entry fees are $500 per boat, covering up to six anglers per boat. The first 50 boat teams to register are eligible for the $20,000 cash prize.

Legendary author Ernest Hemingway fished for “big game” in Key West waters during the 1930s, and contemporary anglers can follow his lead Wednesday through Saturday, July 22-25.

Anglers targeting marlin and other fish can compete for $50,000 in guaranteed cash prizes in the Stock Island Marina Village Key West Marlin Tournament, held in conjunction with the island city’s annual Hemingway Days celebration.

The teams that accumulate the most points for blue marlin, white marlin and spearfish during the tournament’s three fishing days will split $40,000 cash, including $25,000 for the first-place finishers. All billfish must be released, except potentially recordsetting blue marlin that exceed 600 pounds.

Teams also can enter one fun fish (tuna, dolphin fish, wahoo or released sailfish) per boat per day for additional points.

Marlin division competitors can pay an additional fee to compete for $10,000 in the fun fish division. Cash prizes await anglers who catch the three heaviest dolphin fish, tuna (yellowfin, blackfin and skipjack) and wahoo.

The Key West Marlin Tournament is to begin with final registration from 4 to 6 p.m.

Wednesday, July 22, at the tournament tent at Stock Island Marina Village, 7005 Shrimp Road. A captains’ meeting will follow.

Fishing is set for 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Thursday and Friday, July 23 and 24, and 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 25. Weigh-ins take place after each day’s fishing at Stock Island Marina Village.

Tournament social events include cocktail gatherings, an island-style pig roast and a fish fry. An awards banquet and silent auction are scheduled Saturday night at the Margaritaville Key West Resort & Marina, 245 Front St. Anglers and their guests are to follow local health directives and take personal responsibility to minimize the potential spread of COVID-19.

The entry fee is $2,100 per boat for two anglers, a captain and mate to compete in the marlin division and attend social events.

There is no maximum number of anglers per boat, but each additional angler must pay $200 to fish and attend social events. Entry in the fun fish division is an additional $450 per boat.

Snorkel while you… sing?

Conservation-minded divers and snorkelers can enjoy a unique underwater concert that supports reef protection Saturday, July 11, in the Florida Keys, home to the continental United States' only living coral barrier reef.

The 36th annual Lower Keys Underwater Music Festival is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Looe Key Reef, an area of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary about 6 miles south of Big Pine Key. Staged by local radio station US1 104.1 FM, it encourages environmentally responsible diving and preservation of the world's coral reefs.

The festival features ocean-themed music broadcast by the radio station and piped underwater through specialized speakers suspended beneath boats above the reef.

Divers and snorkelers can enjoy ocean ditties — such as the Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine,” Jimmy Buffett’s “Fins” and the theme from “The Little Mermaid” — as they explore Looe Key’s colorful realm of tropical fish, coral formations and other marine life.

Festival organizers stress that social distancing and other safety protocols to combat COVID-19 will be observed on all charter dive boats and should be practiced on private vessels as well.

While the festival’s primary purpose is to promote reef protection and eco-conscious diving, it also offers a bucket-list underwater experience. Some participants might even spot “mermaids” and other costumed characters swaying beneath the waves, adding visual excitement to the unique conservation concert.

MANGO MADNESS GOES DIGITAL Studios of Key West hosts virtual art show, sale

T

he Studios of Key West has partnered with Wonderdog Production to offer its first-ever live online exhibit opening.

Mango Madness will open live online at 6 p.m.

Thursday, July 2. Broadcasting from The Studios’ building on Eaton Street, Susannah Wells and Morgan Fraga Pierson from Wonderdog will walk viewers through the exhibition during the one-hour segment, giving them a glimpse of nearly 100 works created by members. All artwork will be available for purchase, with 75% of the sale proceeds going directly to the artist.

“Our goal is to create a shared experience that keeps us engaged with our creative community,” said The Studios executive director Jed Dodds. “It’s free to attend, and even

by Key West standards the dress code is lax – wear whatever you want, or nothing at all, we honestly don’t care.”

The evening will also feature spotlight interviews with exhibiting artists, as well as remote check-ins with The Studios’ roving bartenders, Erin and Andy.

“It just wouldn’t be Mango Madness without Perry Arnold’s signature Mango Margaritas,” Dodds added. “So we’ll make up a generous batch, hop in the car, and deliver some signature libations to a few lucky friends throughout the evening.”

The opening will be broadcast on Facebook Live, with a link available at tskw.org for those without a Facebook account.

“We also hope viewers will see this as an opportunity to support local artists,” said Dodds. “Americans for the Arts reports that artists/creatives are among the most severely affected workers by the COVID-19 crisis. So it’s the perfect opportunity to throw support in that direction while adding a new piece to your collection.”

The Studios is encouraging attendees to order takeout from their favorite local restaurants, and to pick up a bottle of wine to recreate an opening-like atmosphere.

Mango Madness will remain on display at The Studios through Aug. 22. Starting Friday, July 3, the gallery will be open for real-life visits from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. To make an appointment to see the work outside of normal viewing hours, call 305-296-0458 or email info@tskw.org.

Kimpton Hotels checks into Key West MANDY MILES

K

mandy@keysweekly.com

impton Hotels operates 70 hotels in a dozen or so countries, with another 30 in the works. But it seems to belong in Key West, where the city’s official “One Human Family” motto aligns unmistakably with the San Francisco-based company’s “Stay Human” mantra.

Upscale, yet low-key and authentic, both Kimpton and Key West — company and community — are committed to people — their own, their guests, even their pets.

“All five Key West properties are petfriendly, for no extra charge,” said Megan Coccito, sales and marketing director for Kimpton Key West, who added that the company regularly ranks among the nation’s 100 best places to work. “When we first closed some of the properties for renovations in 2018, the owners made sure everyone was paid for a full 40-hour week, even if there wasn’t enough work, because they didn’t want to lose good people. They really value their employees and our individuality.”

Kimpton Capital Partners paid $109 million in August 2018 for the collection of six Key West Historic Inns that innkeeper Julie Fondriest had owned for 20 years. The new owners combined two of the inns, Chelsea House and Key Lime Inn, both on Truman Avenue, consolidating the collection from six inns to five cleverly designed boutique hotels, the concept that helped launch Kimpton in the mid-1980s.

“Key West is such a natural fit as a Kimpton destination, with its distinctive island style and vibrant local scene,” said Mike DeFrino, CEO of Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants.

“Key West is rich with the kind of history and welcoming culture that our guests value in their stay experiences. We look forward to bringing our signature heartfelt hospitality to this unique market.”

While the exteriors and charismatic character of each property will remain intact, each hotel has a new name, and has been renovated, updated and elevated to meet Kimpton’s standards of luxury and

hospitality. Merlin Inn is now Ella’s Cottages.

Key Lime Inn and Chelsea House became Winslow’s Bungalow’s, named for painter Homer Winslow. Lighthouse Court is now Lighthouse Hotel; Cypress House is Ridley House and Albury Court will reopen as Fitch House later this summer, Coccito said. The collection now includes 219 total rooms that will range widely in price based on time of year and type of room, from $175 to $600 per night.

Each hotel features a bike-sharing service, free continental breakfast and locally made amenities.

“Waterfront Brewery has created a signature beer for us that will be served to guests upon arrival,” she said.

But most of all, Coccito emphasized, “Kimpton is truly committed to being involved in and supportive of the Key West community. It’s really exciting to work for a large hotel company that truly cares about its people and its community and wants to be involved.”

Three of the five Kimpton Key West hotels are now fully open and operational, with the other two — Fitch House and Ridley House — reopening around September, she said.

Kimpton executives had planned a grand opening party for May 2020, to introduce the company, collection and community commitment to Key West locals. Obviously that couldn’t happen, Coccito said. But it will be rescheduled.

19

Three of the five boutique hotels that are now part of the Kimpton Key West collection are renovated, renamed and reopened. Lighthouse Hotel, formerly Lighthouse Court; Ella’s Cottages, formerly the Merlin Inn; and Winslow’s Bungalows, formerly Key Lime Inn and Chelsea House, are back in business.

Trivia for the Fourth

Jim McCarthy and Mandy Miles

Fourth of July celebrates the signing and adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It marks the official beginning of our great country’s history and is often associated with fireworks, family reunions, barbecues, parades and baseball games. In the 244 years since then, we’ve also managed to come up with some wacky and wild traditions and fun facts. Here are some of our favorites:

Before protests about wearing face masks, there was a Straw Hat Riot in 1922. At the end of summer, men would swap their straw Panama hats for fancier (but less breathable) felt hats. Failing to do so could lead to theft or destruction of your straw hat and intense social ridicule. In 1922, people had had enough, and hosted fashion riots where thousands fought for days to wear the hat of their choosing.

While pizza may have hailed from the land of stiletto heels and gondolas, Americans have certainly adopted the food as our own. Every single day, we collectively consume 100 acres of pizza.

Annually, around 300 billion pies are sold in the country.

In spring 1959, everyone was going wild over a new trend from overseas: phone-booth stuffing. People would cram their bodies into the narrow space in any way they could, including horizontally. The world record came from South Africa, where 25 people fit into a booth. When the phone coincidentally rang during the stunt, no one could answer it.

When we think of Abraham Lincoln, most remember him for helping the country get through the Civil War, signing the Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery in the U.S. or his assassination by John Wilkes Booth. But long before becoming president, Honest Abe was known for his wrestling prowess. He won 299 out of his 300 matches, and is actually in the Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Americans love to sue each other and … tomatoes? On Sept. 25, 1820, the town of Salem, New Jersey held a trial against tomatoes. The people believed the fruit was poisonous and wanted them brought to justice. Robert Johnson proved them wrong by standing in front of a crowd at the courthouse and consuming a whole basket of tomatoes. When he didn’t die, the case was dismissed.

The first gold rush happened in …

Georgia? That’s correct. Native Americans were aware of the gold in the Appalachian Mountains long before the Spanish conquistadors set foot in the new lands. Miners traveled to the gold fields in the Blue Ridge until 1733, then for nearly 100 years they sat unmined.

That was until farmer and prospector Frank Logan discovered the gold on Dukes Creek, a tributary of the Chattahoochee River in 1828, setting off America's first gold rush.

HISTORY

KEY WEST / MARATHON / UPPER KEYS WEEKLY / JULY 2, 2020

Unicorn Hunters … why, yes, of course. The late W.T. (Bill) Rabe, known for his clever PR stunts from his days as a Detroitarea publicist, created the Unicorn Hunters in 1971, shortly after he was hired as Lake Superior State University’s director of public relations. With assistance of LSSU professors of English Peter Thomas, John McCabe, John Stevens and others, they came up with the hunters as a way of garnering more publicity for LSSU, which had just established itself as an independent school after being a branch of what is now Michigan Technological University. Today, LSSU continues to receive mail addressed to the Unicorn Hunters. Many people write or call to find out if LSSU is still issuing Unicorn Questing licenses, and the university is happy to be able to offer the license on its website: lssu.edu.

The five-digit ZIP code revolutionized the mail delivery business in the U.S. in 1963. But there’s also some pretty interesting history behind ZIP codes. Not only does the White House have its own ZIP code, 20500, but the president of the U.S. and the first family also have their very own, secretive code for mail. And yes, Smokey Bear, the U.S. Forest Service’s mascot became so popular that he received his own ZIP in 1964, 20252.

When Josephus Daniels was appointed secretary of the U.S. Navy in 1913, he banned alcohol from military ships. Legend has it that sailors began to refer to the hardest drink available to them — coffee — as a “cup of joe.”

Thomas L. Jennings was born a free Black man in 1791 New York City. He was a tailor and eventually opened his own shop. When he discovered that many fabrics were resistant to established methods of cleaning, he invented a new method: “dry-scouring.” He invented the process we know today as dry-cleaning. He was granted the patent in 1821; he is widely considered to be the first African-American to receive a patent.

The Keys aren’t the only ones to attempt secession with the Conch Republic mutiny of 1982. In 1850, the populace of Rough and Ready, California — a mining town with a lawlessness problem, no help from the feds, and a new mining tax — opted out.

But three months later, they wanted to have a Fourth of July celebration and the nearby liquor stores in Nevada City wouldn’t sell liquor to “foreign miners.”

The townspeople voted themselves back into the Union on the same day.

The FBI ditched paper files only 8 years ago, in 2012. The effort took decades and cost more than $600 million. To be fair, there were a lot of archived records that needed to be digitized.

For the public at large, the word “deadline” means when something is due. But during the civil war, a “dead line” was a line within or around a prison. Prisoners would be shot for attempting to cross the “dead line.”

Woods named to lead CFFK charity board The Community Foundation of the Florida Keys (CFFK) has named civic leader Dr. Susanne Woods as chair of its board of governors.

Woods has led an accomplished career in higher education at distinguished universities across the country in both faculty and top administrative positions. She has been a fulltime resident of the Keys since 2005.

“I’m honored to serve as the Chair of the Community Foundation and help play a leadership role in its important work,” said Woods. “I believe we are essential to the community now more than ever, working together with our donors and nonprofit partners to assist our residents in need during the pandemic and helping grow philanthropy in order to build an even better future for our wonderful Keys.”

In addition to Woods, the foundation’s newly elected executive committee is John DeWald (vice chair – investment), Will Langley (vice chair - development), Greg Oropeza (vice chair - grants), Ken Silverman (treasurer and vice chair – finance), Rosi Ware (vice chair - marketing), and Jodi Weinhofer (secretary). Retiring chair Ron Burd, who served two terms leading CFFK’s board, is now serving as the vice chair in charge of governance.

Woods’ distinguished career includes serving as provost and professor of English at Wheaton College, Massachusetts; visiting professor of English at the University of Miami; senior advisor for the Council of Independent Colleges; vice president of academic affairs at Franklin and Marshall College, Pennsylvania; and professor of English and associate dean of the faculty at Brown University, Rhode Island.

Locally, she has served on the boards of the Florida Keys Council of the Arts and the Key West Literary Seminar and as senior warden (board chair) at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Woods joined the CFFK board in 2012.

FWC captain cleared in shooting After thoroughly reviewing all of the reports and evidence regarding the officer-involved shooting of Adam Bounds on Oct. 15, 2019, in Cow Key Channel, the state attorney’s office has determined that Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Captain David Dipre acted reasonably and justifiably when he discharged his firearm.

The evidence, including video and audio from body-worn cameras, indicates that Bounds' conduct posed an immediate threat to the life and safety of law enforcement officers who were present for a wellness check.

Switlik’s Unke moving to Sugarloaf

Current Stanley Switlik principal, Brett Unke, has been chosen as Sugarloaf School’s next principal, according to Superintendent Mark Porter. Unke, will take over for current principal Harry Russell, who will be the district’s executive director for personnel support and instructional leadership. A new principal for Stanley Switlik Elementary has yet to be named.

PUBLIX KEY LARGO EMPLOYEE TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 JIM McCARTHY

T

hroughout the coronavirus pandemic, grocery store employees’ responsibilities come with high-exposure potentials. Workers are testing positive for COVID-19, while coworkers who’ve been in close contact have been told to quarantine, as was the recent case for Publix Super Market in Key Largo.

A Publix spokeswoman confirmed to the Weekly on June 25 that an associate at the Key Largo store, located at Tradewinds Plaza, tested positive for COVID-19. The employee is now in quarantine and receiving 14 days of paid leave.

Publix says employees who were in close contact with the infected employee were notified and told to quarantine. They’re also receiving paid leave for up to 14 days. It’s unknown how many were notified to quarantine; Publix did not respond to a follow-up communication.

The Key Largo store isn’t the only one in the Keys where employees tested positive for COVID-19. On April 19, an Islamorada store associate tested positive for COVID-19. On April 2, a Marathon store associate was found to be positive.

“Like other essential service providers, we have seen our own associates and their families personally impacted by COVID-19,” said Nicole Krauss, Publix media relations manager.

“Unfortunately, as public health officials have indicated, we expect to see an increase in cases as the virus spreads in our communities.”

Krauss said the store continues to focus on intensive, ongoing protective measures that include a disinfection program, instore signs and visual reminders for appropriate social distancing of 6 feet.

“We are proud of how our dedicated associates are taking care of our customers and each other through this unprecedented and challenging time,” Krauss said. “And, we thank our customers for continuing to trust us with providing them with the goods and services they need.”

Mapping the past and the future Legendary diver re-releases out-of-print Pennekamp Park map

S

ometimes, to know where we’re going, we have to know where we’ve been.

When predicting the future of the reefs here, dive legend and underwater photography pioneer Jerry Greenberg will often look to the past. Greenberg has been diving the Keys since the 1950s, documenting abundant life underwater as well as its decline. He uses those memories and his physical images to understand where we are now, and to map a road for the future.

In 1962, Greenberg shot National Geographic’s first underwater color cover photo, depicting a woman diving over the coral at Carysfort Reef on an early aqualung device.

In 1963, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park (Pennekamp) was established as America’s first undersea park to protect and preserve a portion of the only living coral reef in the continental United States. The park is named for the late John D. Pennekamp, a Miami newspaper editor focused on conservation and preservation. His work helped establish Everglades National Park as well as his namesake undersea park.

Greenberg again was called on to document what lies below the surface, shooting a two-part series for the magazine titled "Key Largo, America's First Underwater Park" and "Florida's Coral City Beneath the Sea.” The cover and features would catalyze international interest in the Keys and what its waters had to offer.

“When that thing came out, it was like a bolt of lightning,” the 93-year-old diver said. “People came here wanting to see what they’d seen in the magazine.”

As interest in scuba diving, underwater exploration and the Keys increased, so too did traffic into the new state park and its adjacent waters.

Jerry Greenberg holds a copy of his map of Pennekamp State Park, which he first printed in 1968 and which he has reprinted this year.

MICHAEL GREENBERG/copyright Fishcards.com

“No one knew where anything was or how to get there,” Greenberg said of boaters and divers in the 1950s and ’60s in the Keys. “So I had the idea to make a map. I decided to make something to show them.”

Greenberg and his wife Idaz enlisted the help of “some good sea captains” to create the first map of Pennekamp and its surrounding waters in 1968.

“All those different color values (for depth) were hand-cut on a stripping table, the old fashioned way,” Greenberg told the Keys Weekly. “Deeper water had deeper blue and shallower was pinkish, for danger. We had lots of people running around and getting lost, so we wanted to create something to keep the boaters and the coral safe.”

The Greenbergs also made sure the map was accurate, including true directions on a compass course and landmark details for water navigation.

“All the lighthouses were exact to size.

They were exact replicas of what’s out there,” Greenberg said. “The Christ (of the Abyss) statue was on there. I even had Elbow Lighthouse, which was destroyed

by Irma.”

Greenberg and his wife sold the map at Pennekamp for $2, he recalled, “all rolled-up in a clear plastic tube and in a box.”

“It wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t a helluva lot of money back then, either. Times were just different — gas was 19 cents, and the reefs were intact. There were no dive shops here, either,” Greenberg said.

Greenberg eventually included some of his pictures along the side of the map, to showcase what people might expect to see when out using his map to explore the world below.

“You want to know what Molasses Reef looked like?,” he joked. “That’s what it used to look like, with huge brain coral and huge acropora palmata (Elkhorn coral). Big corals, mound corals. Everyone went there to dive to see this stuff!”

Greenberg also lamented how the coral had been over-collected over the decades for sale in souvenir shops, contributing to the decline of the reefs.

The map was integral for years for navigating the Upper Keys before eventually going out of print in the late 1970s or early ’80s, Greenperg proudly said. It’s been out of print since then — until now.

“This is the one time (the map’s) been back in print since,” Greenberg said, indicating a copy of his original map being displayed at Sparky’s Sweet Treats, a new ice cream shop in Key Largo, whose owner is a friend of Greenberg.

Greenberg decided to put his original map back on display to the public as Pennekamp nears its 60th anniversary, to commemorate what the reef here has meant to him and his career. He hopes people will realize the immense history the reef has and how important it is for the future.

“I’m proud of everything I’ve done with my wife and my son. It’s what I live for,” he said.

When asked if he’d print additional copies, he noted that if there was interest, he’d be willing to explore the option.

“For now, there’s only one (map), and it’s at Sparky’s,” he joked. “If someone wants to see it, go get some nitrogen ice cream.”

6 WEEKS UNTIL SCHOOL STARTS; WHAT’S THE PLAN?

I

ncoming Superintendent Theresa Axford says a broad group with representatives from the school district, the health department and members of the community have come up with a plan to serve Keys kids in three different coronavirus scenarios: minimal exposure in the community, moderate exposure and substantial exposure.

Students in the Monroe County School District are scheduled return to school on Aug. 13.

“None of us can accurately predict what will happen with the Covid-19 virus between now and the opening of school in August,” she said. “But we have to be ready to go anyway. So, we convened a large group to look at how we will respond to each possible iteration. And by doing this as early as possible, we are able to communicate this to the rest of those affected so they can, in turn, make appropriate plans.” Axford, who will become superintendent in July, has served as the executive director of teaching and learning for the past eight years.

She joined the district in 1986 as a classroom teacher.

“I know how disruptive it is for families, particularly those with small children, when schools are closed for extensive time periods,” Axford said. “During times of substantial community exposure, however, closures may be necessary.”

Her other main concern: making sure all kids, regardless of their individual circumstances, receive the best education possible to prepare them for their future.

“What we did was look at all of the ways we can safely keep as many kids in school for as many days as possible under all of the different phases of exposure. This is the best way we can serve the community and the kids,” Axford said. After that, the planning group looked at how the district can best provide a virtual education to all grade levels.

Going into the school year, the level at which schools can reopen will be determined by both the school superintendent and the local PLAN A Minimal community exposure Minimal exposure in the community is defined as isolated cases with limited community transmission and case investigations with no evidence of exposure in large community settings. Under these circumstances, all students would return to school except those whose parents choose to keep them enrolled in a virtual environment at home. The plan for this phase provides schools with guidance on how to do this safely. Some considerations include: • Teaching smaller groups of students to ensure social distancing, which will require identifying additional classroom space and instructional staff.

• Grouping students in “cohorts” which would stay together for various activities during the school day.

• Developing schedules which allow for the minimal amount of student movement, and safe movement of students when necessary. This will include changes in cafeteria schedules and operations if necessary for safety.

Three contingency plans are in the works

office of the Florida Department of Health.

Regardless of the level of exposure in the community, the district will be doing a number of things to reinforce safety and health. And no matter what phase of exposure the community is in, virtual learning will be available to all families and students who need or want to remain at home due to health concerns.

Some of the safety measures which are already in place and will remain: Mask-wearing will be required at all times when social distancing is not possible. This would include on buses, when walking between classes, and at any meetings or events which don’t allow for adequate space between people.

Classrooms will be provided with adequate amounts of cleaning supplies such as soap, hand sanitizer, gloves and cleansing agents for surface cleaning.

Cleaning staff will receive training on how best to clean school facilities.

Classrooms will be rearranged to provide for more space between students. Schools will be identifying extra rooms which can be used for instruction.

Each school will review its cafeteria operations and determine how best to organize meal times safely, including staggering meal times and feeding students in their classrooms.

Informational press releases will be issued on a regular basis through local media. In addition, information will be available on the school district website, keysschools.com and on all school social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). A phone number will be set up before the start of the school year. Emergency information will be conveyed using robocalls.

— Contributed

PLAN B Moderate community exposure • This phase is defined as “sustained transmission with likelihood or confirmed exposure and potential for rapid increase in cases.”

• In this phase of exposure, elementary students in Pre-K through Grade 5 will attend face-to-face instruction every day. Class sizes will be reduced and may require schedule adjustments to ensure CDC guidelines are being followed.

• Middle school and high school students in grades 6-12 will use a schedule of alternating days to reduce numbers. These students will attend school every other day on a staggered schedule and will have virtual school on the alternating days.

• Meal service may be substantially changed to include students eating in the classroom instead of the cafeteria.

Schools may also consider canceling extracurricular activities and events.

PLAN C Substantial community exposure • This phase is defined by largescale community transmission.

• Schools will be closed with students self-isolating, attending full-time virtual school.

• Meal service will continue; cafeteria staff will prepare meals and transportation staff will deliver them to centralized locations throughout the Keys.

t the end of every July, hordes of visitors flock to the Keys for lobster mini-season. Historically, it’s meant to relieve traffic and competition on the water between recreational and commercial fishermen on the actual opening of lobster season. There are mixed feelings, however, about it. Monroe County does not have the power to cancel or keep mini-season, as fisheries management lies solely with the state of Florida.

Lobster mini-season is the last consecutive Wednesday and Thursday of the month, July 29-30.

The results from the Keys Weekly’s poll are in, which asked, “What’s your thought on mini season?” (To see this week’s survey and future ones, visit keysweekly. com.)

82%

Eliminate mini-season as it does more harm than it helps.

10%

Keep mini-season as is, as it helps alleviate pressure and brings tourist dollars into the Keys.

6%

Keep mini-season, but limit the catch to four a day.

Sightings increase of hammerheads, whale sharks in Keys TIFFANY DUONG

tiffany@keysweekly.com

O

ver the last few months, some really cool critters have been spotted in our waters to the delight of divers and boaters.

In January, Tony Young, owner of Forever Young Charter Company, was spearfishing on the Duane when he noticed a familiar shape in clear water 100 feet below him.

“I knew it was a hammerhead because they are very easy to recognize from other sharks,” Young said.

Since then, Young has seen “a number of them” in addition to large eagle rays last week.

Andy Bruckner, research coordinator with the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, said, “Hammerheads are seen on occasion. There is usually a seasonal increase near the bridge at Bahia Honda when the tarpon are running.”

Grace Casselberry, a doctoral candidate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has been working with sharks in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary since 2014 and studies the predatorprey interactions between great hammerhead sharks and Atlantic tarpon. Using electronic tags, she follows the movement patterns of both migratory species.

While some great hammerheads that she’s tagged stay in the Keys year-round, others travel north along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts in the summer, Casselberry said.

“Part of my work is to better understand what

drives these migrations, but it is likely a combination of following migratory food sources, like tarpon that aggregate in the Tampa Bay area and the blacktip shark aggregation along the Atlantic Coast, and individual temperature preference,” Casselberry said.

On March 26, a mother and calf right whale were spotted in the Gulf of Mexico north of Marathon trying to navigate around the Keys and up the East Coast.

At the end of June, Islamorada Dive Center posted a popular Facebook video titled “Manta time!,” in which dive instructor Kelsey can be heard screaming as the video rolls on a graceful reef manta gliding by. The same manta ray was spotted further south a few days later.

Most recently, Big Pine Key’s Brittany Burtner and her partner Dave had an hours-long encounter with four whale sharks in Looe Key. The animals ranged in size from 22 feet to almost 40 feet and were just “cruising around this quarter-mile area feeding on plankton.”

“I can’t truly find the words to describe an experience that I’ve dreamed about and actively tried to make happen since I was a teenager — let alone the fact that it happened practically in my backyard!” Burtner said.

Casselberry suspected increased sightings of megafauna could be linked to the pandemic, as more people went outside on boats, fishing or otherwise, because it’s “a great way to keep social distancing while getting out of the house,” and saw more things in the water.

Fishing guides and others out on the water daily will see great hammerheads and other sharks “fairly often,” she noted, even if the sightings seem rarer to the average diver or boater.

There are shark and ray species in the Keys year-round, the elasmobranch expert said. Great hammerheads return to the Keys in early spring and leave during the hottest months of summer. Whale sharks and manta rays are less commonly seen, but when they are, it’s in the summer.

Bruckner noted that bull sharks, tiger sharks, pilot whales, dolphins and manatees are “routinely” observed as well.

All these species are “highly mobile” and move in response to environmental conditions like water temperature, time of day, and food abundance, Casselberry said.

Families unload their trunks to get food, tables, tents, coolers and fishing poles and head to the spot along the water where they’ll spend the day.

Connecting Upper and Lower Matecumbe Keys, the state-owned land, known as the Fills, continues to be a cause for major concern among locals who’ve seen its continued degradation due to the impacts of use, or misuse, among visitors.

Weekends come and go, leaving the Fills covered in filth, from trash to people defecating where they choose. It reached a breaking point last year following Memorial Day, when residents packed the community center at Founders Park, urging council members to do something to control the trashing and disregard among users before the Fourth of July holiday came around.

That led to an agreement with the state that gave the village the ability to manage parking and trailers coming to Indian Key boat ramp. It also allowed for the purchasing of more trash containers and porta potties.

I managed to find a spot on the morning of June 25 at Lignumvitae Key where an Occupy the Fills event was underway, which aimed to bring awareness to the sheer disregard and disrespect seen by users weekin and week-out. Organized by Mark Brown and Eric Carlson, the event yielded success, with some 30 bags of trash collected and locals taking several parking spots in a show that the Keys’ natural resources should be treated with decency and respect.

In the walk from the car to Indian Key boat ramp, families already had their stakes claimed, with tables full of food right along the water and music playing. With fishing poles

and coolers in hand, others rushed to their spots in the water.

One can’t help but notice the amount of trash, from a JIM broken fishing McCARTHY pole to the serves as editor amount of of the Upper Keys plastic debris Weekly. A Taverlittering the nier resident, he ground. And believes in community reporting, that’s not all giving back and people find as life on the waters. they clean up the Fills.

“You won’t believe all the feces you’ll find,” Carlson said.

It comes to a point where enough is enough. Frankly, that point was seen some time ago, if you ask locals.

Thankfully, the Fills will be shut down through the Fourth of July weekend to keep the scores of visitors from frequenting the area for safety reasons due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and a spike in cases.

During a special meeting on July 1, council unanimously agreed to reduce parking at the Fills anywhere from 50% to 60% due to safety reasons.

A big shout goes to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Capt. Corey Bryan, Lt. Chuck Kellenberger and deputies for their efforts in controlling the chaos the past couple weeks, from the double parking to other various incidents. Village staff is also deserving of a big thanks for all their work in controlling the parking at Indian Key boat ramp. Without the presence of these individuals, the Fills would have been even worse than we already know it to be.

WEEKLY INTERVIEW

KEY WEST / MARATHON / UPPER KEYS WEEKLY / JULY 2, 2020

SOS UPPER KEYS COORDINATOR NATALIE NITES

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Oh, what a great question! I would love to go back to Italy and hike the Dolomites.

S

OS Foundation’s Natalie Nites hasn’t slowed down much since the pandemic started. Serving as the Upper Keys coordinator, not only has she been running the pantry in Key Largo, but she’s also coordinated various food distributions from Key Largo to Islamorada in partnership with other organizations.

As the sole member of the SOS team in the Upper Keys, she oversees a food pantry and teaches nutrition education lessons to various schools and after-school programs.

Nites grew up in Cleveland and moved to a Columbus suburb where she attended Denison University to study biology and the environment. Her studies led her to Turks and Caicos Islands where her admiration for marine conservation and ecology grew.

Nites didn’t have any job prospects of interest lined up during her senior year. That led her to pack up and move to Florida with college roommates who were taking part in an AmeriCorps program. Nites hoped to work at a dive shop, as she had just become a divemaster. She landed a job at Sea Dwellers Dive Center within a few weeks of moving.

With the job becoming unstable following Irma, Nites started seeking employment in the nonprofit sector where she desired to be after college. In 2018, she noticed a job posting with AmeriCorps VISTA program with SOS Foundation, the largest multidimensional hungerrelief organization in Monroe County.

“I had heard of the AmeriCorps programs in the past, but the Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) program was new to me,” she said. “This program pairs individuals with different non-profits or universities to help improve the community through a variety of projects. This job posting was the first time I had heard of the SOS Foundation so once I familiarized myself with the Foundation I knew I wanted to work there.”

Full name? Have a nickname?

Natalie Nites. “Nats” is really the only one.

How would you describe the experience so far as you continue to help the community through this pandemic?

It’s been overwhelming, rewarding and surprisingly uplifting! It was a big switch to shift from our normal weekly food pantry, to an outside, drive-through setup, but the amount of support from volunteers and the community has been imperative to the continued success. We have some really amazing givers and helpers in this community, and I’m so happy to have met and worked with them throughout these uncertain times.

What’s been most rewarding in what you’ve been doing these past few months? What’s been challenging?

The most rewarding part of the distributions is seeing the amount of healthy food we are able to provide to our clients. The amount of people who are in need of assistance during this pandemic is unprecedented, but it’s an amazing feeling to be able to provide great quality food to all who come through and know that the cost of food will be one less burden to bear. The most challenging part has been not getting to do the other part of my job. I miss the students I teach for the nutrition education lessons a ton.

If you could take anyone out to dinner, dead or alive, who would it be?

Sylvia Earle or Michael Pollan!

If you could have a superhero power, what would it be?

Teleportation. I absolutely love to travel but I’m impatient on long flights and drives.

If you wrote an autobiography, what would the title be?

“Wishful Thinking.”

Do you have a fond memory with a volunteer or person during the food drives?

Fortunately, I have too many to choose from! I will say, it was a blast doing distributions at the Moose Lodge with Wood Campbell as the DJ. I think it made the whole experience a bit more fun/light-hearted for the clients and for the volunteers.

What do you enjoy most about working in the Upper Keys?

The people I work with. I love the Keys and this job has allowed me to meet so many other people who live here and are also doing amazing things for the community. It’s really awesome to be surrounded by doers!

When you have some down time, what do you like to do?

I love to cook. I probably spend a good amount of my weekends trying new recipes. I also enjoy reading, playing pickleball, going to the gym and gardening. I also recently bought a Wii, so I’ve been playing a lot of Mario Kart and Zelda lately.

Have a favorite spot in the Keys to hang out?

Anywhere in the water!

Who’s been your biggest inspiration throughout your journey?

My students. They are out-of-the-box thinkers and they come up with really interesting solutions to problems, no matter how small or big. They give me a lot of hope in the future and it’s amazing to be a small part of that!

What is one thing that always, always makes you happy?

My cats!

Favorite guilty pleasure?

Cringy reality shows like “Love is Blind” and “Married at First Sight” on Netflix.

What’s your favorite movie or TV show?

“The Office” for TV show, and “Swiss Army Man” for movie.

Finish these sentences...

My biggest causes are … the environment and social justice.

My friends would tell you that I like to … laugh.

Life in the Keys is … very calm if you aren’t on U.S. 1.

SOS Foundation is … an amazing organization that I am proud to be part of!

ISLAND BOAT SHOW HELPS LAUNCH GRADUATES’ DREAMS

Coral Shores graduate Carolina Pinero is one of the many who received a scholarship from Island Community Church’s 2020 Island Boat Show.

CONTRIBUTED

I

sland Community Church recently announced the awarding of $20,000 in college scholarships to students in the Middle and Upper Keys.

The scholarships are funded by proceeds of the 2020 Island Boat Show. During the recent graduation events for Marathon and Coral Shores high schools, the names of more than 20 students were announced as recipients of the Island Community Church Scholarship. The individual awards, ranging from $500 to $1,500, will assist students in their pursuit of a college education in the upcoming academic year.

It is the first of what Island Community Church envisions as an ongoing scholarship program funded by the Island Boat Show, which is the largest in-water boat show in the Keys. With more than 90 boats, exhibitor booths, fishing seminars and a silent auction, the 2020 show at Hawks Cay was the most successful so far. “We were blessed by the financial success of this year’s boat show,” said Pastor Trevor Mann. “We are using those funds to give back to our community through our ministries and initiatives. None

is more important than investing in the future of our youth through the Island Community Church Scholarship.”

To qualify for the scholarship, the applicants completed an application and took part in a virtual interview with the scholarship review team. Island Community Church pastor emeritus and review team member Tony Hammon observed, “It was such a pleasure getting to know the candidates.

All were so engaging and showed such promise. I wish we could have awarded even more. From what I can tell from our interviews, the future is in very capable hands.”

The church intends to offer the scholarships in 2021 and again will use the Island Boat Show as the primary source of funding. “The 2021 show, scheduled for Jan. 22-24 at Hawks Cay, should be bigger and better than past years,” said Island Boat Show chair Glenn Latham. “We hope to raise even more for scholarships and get some outside matching funds as well, so we’ll be able to award more next year.”

Island Community Church offers a worship service at 10 a.m. every Sunday morning at 83250 Overseas Hwy or online (Facebook or YouTube). More information is at www.islandcommunitychurch.org. More information about the Island Boat Show is at www. islandboatshow.com or by contacting the church at churchinfo@islandcommunitychurch.org.

UPPER KEYS ROTARY, WILD BIRD CENTER PARTNER TO PROTECT SEA LIFE

M

onofilament fishing line recycling bins are popping up throughout the Upper Keys thanks to the efforts of the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the Upper Keys Rotary Club.

The Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center is the Upper Keys facilitator for the FWC’s Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program. Through a $2,000 grant from the Upper Keys Rotary Foundation, materials were purchased to construct 40 PVC-pipe recycling bins and place them in fishing spots and marinas throughout the Upper Keys.

FWC’s program is throughout the state and relies on partnerships and volunteers. The program is “dedicated to reducing the environmental damage caused by discarded fishing line,” according to the program’s web site. Discarded monofilament fishing line negatively affects sea birds and sea turtles, as well as marine mammals, boaters and divers.

Through a group effort of Rotarians, Bird Center staff and volunteers, including board chair Frank Derfler, who also is a Rotarian, recycling bins were constructed and installed. The monofilament deposited in the existing bins typically fills two 55-gallon bags when emptied.

“Keeping this material out of the environment protects our native wildlife,” said bird center executive director Jordan Budnik, who is also a Rotarian. “My staff wanted the chance to effect change. It approached my club’s board with a funding request and they eagerly agreed to support.”

The Florida Keys Wild Bird Center was established in 1988 and opened its rehabilitation center in 1991 at MM 92 in Key Largo, Bayside. More information is at www.missionwildbird.com.

The Upper Keys Rotary, established in 1967, meets weekly at noon at Capt. Craig’s Restaurant. More information is at keysrotary.com, on Facebook or from president Joe Roth at 305-3932660.

n a show of gratitude to those who served, a barbecue is set for local veterans and their families on Sunday, July 5 at Coconut Cove Resort in Islamorada.

The second annual event, put on by The Long Walk Home and founder Ron Zaleski, will feature a day of enjoyment and relaxation with food, entertainment, games and silent auctions. Zaleski said the day gives veterans the chance to connect and converse with others who’ve gone and continue to work through similar struggles.

“If you went on a roller coaster with six people, those people can share the experience of the ride. Other people watching think they know what happened but they were not on the ride,” Zaleski said. “Vets who understand where other vets are coming from can share their experiences and get it off their chest.”

Zaleski is known for his 3,400-mile journey barefoot across America from Concord, Massachusetts to Santa Monica, California in 2010 to raise awareness that 18 veterans a day commit suicide. The alarming statistic of the now 22 suicides a day is just the tip of the iceberg with the collateral damage, homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, and spousal and child abuse.

Gaining recognition for his efforts from the U.S. Veterans Affairs Subcommittee, Zaleski felt compelled to continue the work and provide outreach to veterans needing a helping hand. Then came the creation of the nonprofit The Long Walk Home. The organization provides various services, including gym discounts for vets at Mack’s Gym in Key Largo, swims with dolphins at Dolphins Plus Marine Mammal Responder in Key Largo and backcountry fishing trips with R & R Fishing and Ben Trainer, a Marine veteran.

Proceeds from the barbecue will go to Trainer’s free fishing program for vets.

“We’ve done a lot with Trainer,” Zaleski said. “It’s been really beneficial to the guys who take advantage of what he offers.”

The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Coconut Cove Resort, MM 84.8. To ensure the safety of those in attendance, Zaleski said volunteers in masks and gloves will be on hand to take temperatures.

“I want to reach out to guys,” Zaleski said. “People don’t go for help if they don’t come to this. I know a lot of people are stressed and scared, and this is a good place to let it out.”

Mel Fisher Days to stage virtual celebration The Mel Fisher crew of treasure finders is going virtual with this year’s Mel Fisher Days and will auction off more than $20,000 of treasure and merchandise until 8 p.m. on July 20, which is the 35th anniversary of the 1985 discovery of the Spanish galleon Atocha’s $400 million mother lode of treasure. The galleon sank in 1622 in a hurricane off Key West.

The annual Mel Fisher Days celebration will benefit Wesley House Family Services and the Michael Abt Jr. Have a Heart Foundation.

The first annual Mel Fisher Appreciation Days was held in 1998 and continued to grow, eventually prompting the Fisher family to expand the celebration and donate the net proceeds to charities.

Mel Fisher Days events have donated more than $130,000 to Wesley House, which protects children and strengthens families, and $2,750 to the Michael Abt Jr. Have a Heart Foundation, which raises awareness of sudden cardiac arrest in children, and places automatic defibrillators (AEDs) in schools.

HISTORY OF DIVING MUSEUM HOLDS VINTAGE BOOK SALE

H

istory of Diving Museum in Islamorada recently received a collection of diving and maritime themed books from a pioneer in dive safety, Lee Somers.

He began diving in 1954, and throughout his life, he worked to develop and create many instructor and college educational programs, including the research diving program and a hyperbaric research facility at the University of Michigan. His tireless efforts have helped countless divers.

His wife, Martha Somers, and industry veteran Dan Orr coordinated the efforts to ship the books to the museum. With help from staff and volunteers, the vast inventory was sorted to allow the museum to determine which books contributed to the museum’s mission and which may be able to find a new home elsewhere.

Some volumes were donated back to the original organizations for their own historical records and libraries, while others are being made available to the public.

The museum has listed the books that are available for purchase through its online store. Any book purchased from the vintage book sale section will help fund the museum’s research library.

The book topics include diving techniques, marine biology, technical manuals and other themes. Some of the earlier books date back to the 1950s.

There is a wide range of prices.

The books also are available in the museum store. More information is at divingmuseum.org or 305-664-9737.

THE ORIGINAL AMERICAN FRENEMIES An Independence Day story

J

ohn Adams (our second president) and Thomas Jefferson (our third president) died within hours of each other on July 4, 1826 — the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Their legendary relationship began in 1775, and that relationship is a lesson for us, in this divided America, about how we can disagree yet still find common ground and accord.

During the early days of our new nation, Adams and Jefferson had different views of the United States: Adams wanted a strong central government; Jefferson was an advocate for states’ rights. Even so, they held each other in high esteem. Adams personally selected Jefferson to draft the Declaration of Independence.

As both men served diplomatic missions to Europe in the 1780s, they became closer. Adams and his wife Abigail consoled Jefferson when his wife Martha passed away. The Adamses considered him part of the family.

Upon ratification of the Constitution and the formation of a new government, Adams served as George Washington’s vice president, while Jefferson served as secretary of state.

This is when they really started to disagree. While Jefferson backed the French Revolution, Washington and Adams preferred a policy of neutrality. Jefferson resigned his position in protest, and retired to his home at Monticello to plot his next move.

Disregarding Washington’s warning of political parties in the new Union, Adams joined the Federalist Party, while Jefferson co-founded the Democratic-Republican Party. Both ran for president when Washington declined a third term, and Adams won a narrow victory. Adams offered Jefferson the opportunity to form a bipartisan administration, but Jefferson declined, saying it would not serve him well in his position as the leader of the opposition party.

Jefferson ran against Adams in 1800 in an election that stands as one of the nastiest in American history.

Jefferson’s supporters accused Adams of having a “hideous hermaphroditical character,” while Adams’ camp called Jefferson “a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow.” Jefferson’s victory embittered Adams to the point where he took the early stagecoach out of town on Inauguration Day and skipped the festivities. They wouldn’t speak for 13 years.

It was a mutual friend and fellow Declaration of Independence signer

who reunited the former presidents.

Benjamin Rush simultaneously was writing letters to both Adams and Jefferson, suggesting that the other was eager to JOHN resume the friendship. So in 1812, BARTUS Adams sent a note is a City of Marato Jefferson at Monthon councilticello. man. He also is Over the next a musician who 14 years, Jefferperforms around son and Adams town. For more exchanged 158 letsee johnbartus. com ters. It was almost as if they were writing for American posterity as much as to each other. From History.com: “The famous correspondence touched on Adams’ vilification as a tyrant by Jefferson and his fellow Republicans, the unfairness of which Jefferson acknowledged. The two men also discussed the fallout of the French Revolution, the issue that had initially divided them back in the 1790s. In their later letters, Adams and Jefferson even anticipated the growing sectional tensions between North and South that would eventually result in the Civil War. However, true to the revolutionary generation’s shameful silence on the issue of slavery, they rarely touched on the taboo topic itself.”

On the evening of July 3, 1826, Thomas Jefferson fell into a coma as a result of an intestinal disorder. He lingered in a semi-conscious state until noon on the Fourth. On that morning, as he suffered from typhoid, John Adams collapsed into his reading chair and became unconscious at the same time Jefferson died. He woke up briefly around 5:30 p.m. and uttered his last words: “Thomas Jefferson survives.”

It’s incredibly ironic that two of our nation’s Founders both passed away on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration that bound their fates together.

As we celebrate the strangest Independence Day ever, let’s reflect on what binds us together as a nation. Let’s understand that we can find that important common ground by just talking — and listening — to each other the way Adams and Jefferson finally did.

APOCALYPSE BINGO

The Saharan Dust Cloud and other clickbait for disaster junkies

T

he “Godzilla” dust storm missed the Keys and South Florida. The Giant Saharan Dust Cloud came off Africa and crossed the Atlantic in a few days. It approached the Keys from the south, and was probably closest to us on June 24.

Frankly, I don’t know why we were spared.

I was ready for the next installment in what my friends and I call “2020 apocalypse bingo.” More on SARA that later.

MATTHIS So dust storms originating in Africa and crossing the Atlantic Ocean are nothing new. What’s thinks commustartling is the size of it, prompting some media nity journalism outlets to dub it “Godzilla.” is important, but It was 3,500 miles wide (Seattle to Guatemala not serious; likes weird and wonCity, if you’re wondering) and the dust storm was 2 derful children miles deep. (she has two).

“It just missed us,” said National Weather SerOccasionally she vice's Jon Rizzo. “It went around the big Bermuda tortures herself high pressure system.” What’s unusual, Rizzo said, with sprint-distance triathlons, is that it hasn’t petered out. It headed for Texas but only if she has and then points north in mainland U.S.A. a good chance of I’m some combination of grateful and disapbeating her sister. pointed that we didn’t get hit by the dust storm.

(Okay, more grateful because it turns out they suppress hurricane formation, Rizzo said.) Like so many others, however, I have become a bit of a disaster junkie in 2020.

But we got eight new Keys cases of dengue announced, so we got that going for us. Oh, and all fireworks are canceled in the Keys.

And bars are closed again.

Let’s just take a moment to review 2020: Australian bush fires burn what seems like the whole country; Kobe Bryant dies; city-size swarms of locusts descend on East Africa; pandemic; quarantine; collapse of the global economy; Britney Spears accidentally burns down her home gym; George Floyd is murdered by a cop in plain daylight; peaceful protests; violent riots; the ring-of-fire eclipse signals what some call the end of the world; the U.S. government confirms UFO sightings and releases reports but nobody cares because, you know, COVID; 100-degree temperatures in the Arctic, for crissake; the Sahara dust storm; my friend inhales a big bug on our early-morning walk; the GMO mosquito debate/war is set to rage again; there is going to be a sh!tsh#w election in November; and many of my friends and I had severe unexplained headaches on last week. Oh, wait, that was the Sahara thing probably.

All I can do is laugh through my mask.

P.S. I forgot the murder hornets.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The training group in Key Largo consists of recreational, governmental and tourism industry professionals. TIFFANY DUONG/Keys Weekly

TAKE ONLY PICTURES, LEAVE ONLY BUBBLES Sanctuary becomes first offshore ‘hot spot’ for protection

by Leave No Trace program TIFFANY DUONG

I

tiffany@keysweekly.com

n February, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics (LNT) invited local leaders in the recreational/tourism sector together to tackle issues such as marine debris and water quality.

The training was designed to equip those interacting often with the public with tools to help promote the philosophy of “Leave No Trace,” which encourages minimal-impact use of natural resources. By protecting the outdoors through education and outreach and inspiring people to enjoy nature responsibly, LNT hopes to help ecosystems become more resilient while still allowing people to use natural resources.

“Did you know that orange peels can take up to two years to break down in nature?” asked LNT Trainer Jessie Johnson. Cigarette butts take one to five years, other than the plastic filter; gum takes five years; and plastic water bottles can take 100 years, she said.

Johnson and her fellow trainer Matt Schneider emphasized that most people aren’t trying to “do bad” when they pollute, but rather that they don’t know the true impact of their actions.

“A lot of things taken on their own don’t seem like that big a deal, like throwing an apple out the window or into the water. We help people think not just of their fairly-innocent thing but also the cumulative impact of millions doing that same fairly-innocent thing,” Schneider said. “Both (environmental) caricatures are a myth – the total polluter and the totally innocent.”

The pair emphasized that “cumulative impact works both ways” and that it’s not all or nothing. If everyone does their own part, a lot can be accomplished. That’s what LNT aims to teach.

LNT trainers travel the country hosting facilitated workshops, community service projects and outreach focused on ensuring a healthy ecosystem. In the Keys, Johnson and Schneider led workshops in Key Largo, Marathon and Key West. In attendance were dive shops, conservation organizations, coral restoration groups, state parks officers and government agency representatives.

LNT particularly targeted the Keys for training since the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary will become the organization’s first offshore Hot Spot. The Hot Spots program identifies areas suffering from the severe impacts of outdoor activities that can thrive again with Leave No Trace solutions.

The Seven Basic Principles of Leave No Trace are: • Plan ahead and prepare.

• Travel and camp on durable surfaces.

• Dispose of waste properly.

• Leave what you find.

• Minimize campfire impacts.

• Respect wildlife • Be considerate of other visitors.

The Key Largo training was broken down into brainstorming sessions to come up with everything from consequences of interacting with wildlife (“death, if you’re trying to feed a crocodile” said one participant), to motivating reasons to follow LNT principles (“leaving something for the future” was the common answer), to how to prepare beforehand to leave no trace (bring scissors when fishing to cut line).

Schneider said LNT selects its “Hot Spots” based on two main criteria: whether the areas are actively hard hit, through recreational damage with people coming and visiting and usually unintentionally damaging the resource, and whether there’s an existing, robust network of stakeholders and partners already working well to address some of the issues. Hot Spots bring these diverse partners together to focus directly on education and to align their messages to be more effective overall, Schneider said.

“One overarching strategy employed by everyone from tour operators to state tourism folks to the state parks to refuge people to scientists, fishing guides and everyone in-between — if all are delivering the same message to visitors to the Sanctuary, it’s more likely to be heard,” he said.

Visit Lnt.org/getinvolved to learn more or request more training materials.

During the Key Largo workshop, participants brainstorm and practice how to bring up Leave No Trace ideas with visitors in non-confrontational ways that still get the message across.

TIFFANY DUONG/Keys Weekly

Thanks, FWC This is an open letter of thanks to the Fish and Wildlife Commission and their dedicated officers.

They rescued me on June 3, 2020.

I was fishing and my electric motor stopped running and I was unable to fix it.

I tried to row home, but broke the oarlock. The wind blew me on the seagrass; with one paddle, I could not get off the grass.

I tried to call my wife on the phone, but the phone got too hot and did not work. I spent 3.5 hours in the grass.

I was just about worn out when the FWC officer arrived.

The water was too shallow for his boat so he jumped overboard and towed me to shore.

I have had two heart attacks and am 90 years old.

This old man wants to say thank you to the great officer who helped me. Also thanks to the best FWC department!

HISTORY

KEY WEST / MARATHON / UPPER KEYS WEEKLY / JULY 2, 2020

THE BUM FARTO FILES:

THE OTHER 'OPERATION CONCH'

Pictured are Tampa Mafia boss Santo Trafficante Jr., DEACON agent Grayston Lynch, fire chief Joseph ‘Bum’ Farto, Key West city attorney Manny James and President Richard Nixon. CONTRIBUTED

DAVID SLOAN is a Key West storyteller, publisher and producer.

Key West Fire Chief Joseph “Bum� Farto disappeared on 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. Bum 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 disappearance.

T

wenty-eight undercover agents from the Florida Department of Criminal Law Enforcement, Dade County Organized Crime Bureau and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration descended on Key West on Sept. 9, 1975. They posed as karate enthusiasts, but were really in town to arrest the island’s biggest alleged drug dealers. Jose Roque, a local DEA agent, dubbed the bust “Operation Conch,� but this was far from the attempt to break up small-town corruption as reported in the news. A Cuban dictator, a Mafia boss, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the U.S. president played an international game of cat and mouse. Key West was just a battlefield where part of their war unfolded.

The rise of Fidel Castro and the threat of communism 90 miles from the United States created networks of Cuban exiles teamed with CIA paramilitary commanders. These networks operated

secret training bases throughout the Keys. Grayston Lynch was one of those CIA commanders. He trained the exiles in covert operations to avoid detection while crossing the Florida Straits to launch attacks on Cuba. Lynch fired the first shot at the Bay of Pigs invasion and personally led over 100 raids against Castro in the following six years. He quit his CIA job and moved to Key West in 1971, but declassified intelligence reports show that the U.S. Bureau of Narcotics Covert Intelligence Network (BUNCIN), then later, the DEA Clandestine Operations Network (DEACON), enlisted Lynch as an undercover operative. He ran a string of informants through DEACON in the Keys.

Journalist Douglas Valentine conducted an extensive investigation into BUNCIN and DEACON for his book, “The Strength of the Pack: The Personalities, Politics and Espionage Intrigues that Shaped the DEA.� It reveals claims that CIA-trained, anti-Castro exiles infiltrated the DEA on behalf of the Tampa Mafia through DEACON to protect narco-trafficking routes that funded their operations. DEACON agents eliminated competition and facilitated drug shipments benefiting Tampa Mafia boss Santo Trafficante and the CIA’s war against Fidel Castro. Those actions created friction between regular DEA agents and those of DEACON. I believe this set the stage for Operation Conch.

Lynch left Key West suddenly around

August 1975. The CIA noted in a secret document that was declassified in 2004, “Because of internal DEA politics, he was blown and left dangling on a string in Key West. He had to leave town within 24 hours and left his informants there without calling or warning them. As a result, he lost friends, prestige with his informants, many of them Cuban exiles, and his business in Key West.�

Bum Farto was set up in a sting shortly after Lynch’s cover was blown.

Farto left his house on the morning of Sept. 9, 1975, and spotted Larry Dollar and another agent dressed in suits. The chief realized he had been set up and threw the ring, which Dollar traded him for cocaine, to the ground. Bum rushed to his car and started to drive away, but didn’t get far. He was the first arrest of Operation Conch.

Twenty-eight others went down, but the headlines focused on Fire Chief Farto, City Attorney Manny James, and the break-up of a crooked system of small-town corruption. Most of those arrested had Cuban blood flowing through their veins, many with ties to anti-Castro organizations. Some were linked to the Tampa Mafia.

The timing begs several questions: Did Lynch facilitate drug shipments to finance a CIA war against Castro? Was Bum Farto a CIA operative? Informant?

Did a DEA-CIA turf war turn the tables on Operation Conch? Could it be that Bum Farto was but a soldier doing whatever he could to defeat the communist threat that lurked just 90 miles from his home?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then the 29 people arrested in Operation Conch were just pawns in the shady politics of people like Nixon, Trafficante and Castro. All these men cared about was winning at any cost, even if that cost was a human life. Bum was assigned a trial date, but would it be a trial by jury or a trial by fire?

GARBAGE GRAB CONCERNS Village to see if issues resolved with acquisition by new company JIM McCARTHY

I

ssues in Islamorada surrounding garbage pickup have grown through the years, between missed pickups and frequent truck breakdowns. Village officials’ patience has grown thin over the continued problems, but they could be solved rather soon with terms in place between the village’s current service company and a competitor looking to acquire them.

Waste Management Inc. and Advanced Disposal Services recently announced that an agreement is in place under which a subsidiary of Waste Management will acquire all outstanding shares of Advanced Disposal, the latter which is currently under contract with the village. It represents a total enterprise value of $4.6 billion when adding approximately $1.8 billion of Advanced Disposal’s debt.

Advance Disposal provides trash, recycling and yard waste collection and disposal services for all residential and commercial properties in Islamorada through a contract with the village that’s been in place for several years. That contract is valued at more than $4.5 million. The village pays Advanced Disposal for residential services through non-ad valorem assessments. Commercial services are billed directly by Advanced Disposal to the customers, such as businesses and multi-family condo units.

For residential services, the village pays Advanced Disposal $35.26 per month per unit. With 4,303 units billed, the monthly payment to the garbage company for those services is $151,723, or $1.8 million for the year. The village also pays for four hazardous waste disposal events each year, which totaled $30,929 for fiscal year 2019-20. The village also pays for special pickups, but that doesn’t exceed $10,000 a year.

The village gets revenue from franchise fees as part of the contract for use of streets, roads and rights of way to provide services to Advanced Disposal’s residential and commercial customers. That amounts to about $680,000. The village gets back 15% of payment in franchise fees for residential services where the village pays Advanced Disposal. For commercial services, the village gets back 15% of the amount billed to commercial customers on a quarterly basis.

Village administration and elected officials have become well aware of performance issues, including missed pickups due to breakdowns, which have left bins by the side of the road for days. In early June, the village issued a release telling its residents to report pickup problems and other complaints to the public works office.

Council members discussed garbage complaints a few months ago over Advanced Disposal’s contract with the village and whether the company had met its obligations. Talks resumed during the June 18 meeting, when vice mayor Ken Davis wondered whether it was time to seek services elsewhere.

“I have not seen or heard Advanced Disposal being compliant with their contract in the past few years,” he said. “They were supposed to have an office that’s staffed every day, and it’s never been done, I don’t think, since the contract originated.”

With Waste Management’s acquisition, Village Attorney Roget Bryan said, the company would assume the remaining terms of the contract between Islamorada and Advanced Disposal.

“Waste Management controls the majority of disposal sites within about 200 miles of us,” Bryan said. “There is a way for them to effectively provide services.”

Assuming official notification of the acquisition, Bryan said the village would immediately begin discussing efficiencies, and more importantly, what’s needed from Waste Management to address the issues.

If council wanted to move in a different direction, Bryan said, the village would have to give notice of termination, which is usually 90 days. A bid would then be sent out for solid waste services.

Mayor Mike Forster said he was told by Greg Sullivan, manager of Waste Management in the Lower Keys, that he’d be taking charge July 1.

“I have a lot more faith in Greg, knowing the work that he does further south, and that ties us together a little bit better, but it’s the choice of council to start looking,” he said.

Councilman Chris Sante said it’s hard to get past the poor service the village has seen. He said the village should look not only at other large providers, but also local ones.

ISLAMORADA RESIDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO GET ANTIBODY TESTING Options available to insured, uninsured JIM McCARTHY

jim@keysweekly.com

T

o improve understanding of the local impact of the coronavirus and COVID-19, the Islamorada Village Council encourages village residents and people employed

by Islamorada businesses to participate in COVID-19 antibody testing. People do not need to have symptoms to be tested.

Those who do have symptoms should contact their primary physician and people who develop shortness of breath should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away.

If you have medical insurance, you should first contact your primary care physician to ask if the office is offering the antibody testing. If your primary care physician is not offering the testing, the following local medical offices will provide the test for people with medical insurance who are not patients of their office. Testing is by appointment only.

• Advanced Urgent Care, 100460 Overseas Hwy., Key Largo, 786-538-3040. New patients can register by phone.

• Islamorada Medical Center, Dr. Miguel Diaz, Dr. Xavier Ramos, Dr. Nikole Czapp, 90130 Overseas Hwy., Tavernier, 305-852-9300 or scheduling@ asapmedicine.com. Medical insurance covers all costs. If paying out of pocket, patients will need to pay the $95 cost of the test at the time of the appointment.

• CHI Tavernier, 91200 Overseas Hwy., #17, Tavernier, 305-743-0383. For this office, callers need to register as a new patient before making an appointment to receive the testing. To register and make an appointment for a COVID-19 antibody test, call 305-252-4820.

Request an appointment with Dr. Martinez in the Tavernier

office. CHI Tavernier provides a sliding-scale fee for people without insurance.

• Residents without medical insurance due to low income or who are recently unemployed may contact the Good Health Clinic, 92555 Overseas Hwy. #2, Tavernier, 305-853-1788. New patients will need to complete the application process before testing; the application takes 48 hours to be evaluated for approval. Visit www.thegoodhealthclinic.org for more information and click on the "become a patient" tab for the patient application.

People with a positive result on the antibody test will be referred to their primary care physician for COVID-19 virus testing to determine whether the virus is still active in the body and potentially contagious. Islamorada Medical Center (listed previously) will also provide the virus test; the office will bill medical insurance or the patient will need to pay the $110 cost of the test.

The village said health care providers are urged to sign up for the HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The program was established as part of the COVID-19 pandemic response to provide claims reimbursement to health care providers generally at Medicare rates for testing uninsured individuals for COVID-19 and treating uninsured individuals with

hen someone asks you, “What are your goals for the balance of 2020,” how does it make you feel?

Please take a moment to think about it. It is common to be so busy that you don’t stop to think about how something made you feel.

Does it make you: Excited?

Motivated?

Anxious?

Overwhelmed?

Disappointed?

We are all so conditioned that we must have goals. “The bigger, the better!” I have been there and still have goals, but I have learned to back it down a notch.

I am going to go against the current school of thought and what other coaches and experts preach.

“What? I’ve been told to write down my goals every day.”’

Stop obsessing over goals.

Well, let me clarify.

I have always been goaloriented, but then last year, I became obsessed. Yes, truly obsessed with goals. I had taken a course, and writing down your goals every day was pounded into our brains. Come October, I lost it. I hadn’t achieved my goals and thought I was a complete failure.

The coach I hired never coached any of us that our goals were lofty and would take time. Of course, I knew it intuitively, but on the surface level, I was still striving.

It stung, I was extremely disappointed, and I had to regroup.

What I started to do was take a step forward each day but a step back with my super high expectations. And wow, did it make a difference. I focused on how I was feeling.

What does that look like?

Each day, take some action that moves you toward the future. Maybe it’s applying for a new job or it’s three smaller things, such as reaching out and networking with three people via

CELEBRATE WHAT YOU DO EACH DAY social media (or gasp!) a handwritten note. Each day you will see it compound.

Have some goals, so you are focused, but then take allocated time every so often (example: every three months) to reflect on what you have achieved.

Celebrate those wins and be grateful that you stayed on a path. You would be surprised at the statistics of how many people do not finish something.

I have heard that only 3% of people finish online courses.

That is shocking.

Imagine, if you did one small thing each day toward your future, what it will look like one year later. You would be happily surprised at the improvement you have made. You would feel good about yourself, versus feeling disappointed.

James Altucher, the best-selling author of “Choose Yourself,” writes about getting 1% better every day.

That’s another great way to look at it.

One percent better MELINDA takes out the stress VAN FLEET and anxiety of having to do so much.

At first, I had the year 2019 on it.

Someone may chuckle at our very lofty goals. However, in October I realized it wasn’t going to happen in 2019. They are still our goals, but now it just says “Goals,” no year.

We will accomplish our goals in due time, taking a few steps a day. And I am at peace with that.

You can do that too.
