Key Largo library patrons are reminded of everyone who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks by local artistMaureen ‘Mo’Schneider’s tribute (above),‘America’s Heroes, Heaven’s Angels.’Schneider labored more than eightmonths to burn the names of all the victims into the three-sided panel.The North Key Largo fire station off milemarker 106.5 features depictions (right) of the World Trade Center towers. The tower facing Reef Drive has ‘911’cut into it.The ‘343’ faces the station, reminding firefighters of their 343 comrades killed in the towers’ collapse.

After South Tower falls,‘they just killed my son’

Thomas Cullen Jr. was inhis office at MonroeCounty’s EmergencyManagement Department themorning of Sept. 11, 2001.

He learned of the terroristattacks in New York City thatday while at a doctor’sappointment and rushed intowork in time to watch as theSouth Tower of the WorldTrade Center collapsed.Terrorists had crashed a com-mercial airliner into it.

“My first reaction wasthey just killed thousands ofpeople. My second reactionwas I think they just killedmy son,” Cullen Jr. recalls.

Thomas Cullen III fol-lowed very closely in hisfather’s footsteps.

Both were New York Citylifeguards and longtime vol-unteer firemen at the PointBreeze Fire Department inQueens.

Cullen Jr. was a longtimeattorney and his son was apolitical science major atFordham University with aneye on law school. One day,Cullen III made a fateful

decision.“He and I had a talk about

being a fireman, and I saidit’s great to have all thesegrand jobs, but you should dowhat you want to do as longas you can afford to supportyour family,” Cullen Jr. said.

“He went and took the[New York] Fire Departmenttest and decided that’s whathe was going to do and I givehim a lot of credit for it. Assmart as he was, he would

Niece’s calls ‘hurt’ aftersister-in-law perishes

Pat Clyne knew when hearrived at Ground Zero onSept. 13, 2001, wearing hisfather’s old Con Edisonhardhat and carrying ashovel, that there was noway his sister-in-law Susansurvived the terror attacktwo days prior.

Charlie Clyne, Pat’sbrother, lived with his wifeSusan and their four chil-dren in Lindenhurst, LongIsland; she was a vice pres-ident at insurance firmMarsh and McClennan andcommuted daily to heroffice on the 96th floor ofthe World Trade Center.

“I watched the Northtower fall and about twominutes later I got a callfrom my brother,” said PatClyne, a retired vice presi-dent of the Mel Fishertreasure-hunting organiza-tion. “He didn’t know yetthat the tower had fallen. Ihad to tell him. That wasvery hard because he and Iboth knew that it was over.

“I don’t like using theword ‘consolation,’ but I

think the plane hit the103rd floor. We think it wasprobably over pretty quick.After seeing some of theatrocious video of peoplehanging on to windows —knowing they had no placeelse to go but down — wecan be thankful, in a smallpart, knowing that it proba-bly went quick for her.”

Susan Marie DietrichClyne, 42 at the time of herdeath, grew up in Queens;held degrees in finance, lawand business; and met herhusband on a blind date in

1985. They went on to havefour children, twinsMichael and Marie, andsons Kevin and Timothy.

“They were only littlekids when it happened,” PatClyne said. “They couldn’tunderstand at that age whatwas going on.”

During his two-daydrive up the East Coastfrom Key West to NewYork, he remembered get-ting numerous phone callsfrom his niece Marie.

Murder suspect nowin Florida Keys jail

Tod Geofrey Helfrich,the prime suspect in thebeating death of an elderlyKey Wester, was broughtback to the Florida Keys onThursday to face charges —but not yet murder — con-nected to the death.

Orlando police arrestedHelfrich, 46, on Sept. 3 on aMonroe County warrantalleging probation violation.He was pulled over after astatewide alert was issuedfor Carl Eric Johanson’sauto.

Johanson was foundbound and dead Sept. 2 in anapartment at the HenryHaskins Senior Citizen

Plaza onK e n n e d yDrive.

While inO r l a n d opolice cus-tody, KeyWest policec h a r g e dH e l f r i c h

with fraudulent use of acredit card, grand theft autoand theft stemming from hisuse of an auto, credit cardand cell phone belonging toJohanson.

Police spokeswomanAlyson Crean said detec-tives “think they met at801,” a popular Duval Streetgay bar; “It may have been aday or two before.”

Police Chief Donie Leesays the crime scene sug-gested a brutal deathalthough no cause has beenreleased.

Crean said investigatorsare trying to build a case

against Helfrich beforecharging him in Johanson’sdeath. “I think that the phi-losophy behind that is tobuild the best case possiblebefore making the charges,”she said.

Assistant State AttorneyMark Wilson, who has beenworking with police on thecase, said authorities arewaiting on the results offorensic analysis being con-ducted by the FloridaDepartment of LawEnforcement “on an expe-dited basis.”

Helfrich served stateprison time from Sept. 19,1999, to Nov. 22, 2001, for agrand-theft conviction. Healso was sentenced to super-vised release.

When arrested inOrlando driving Johanson’scar, he was still on proba-tion; that’s where the proba-tion-violation charge comesinto play.

Cuts made, more coming atMosquito Control board

The budget picture forthe Florida Keys MosquitoControl District is slightlyless bleak with $434,912 inidentified reductions, andthe possibility to save anoth-er $200,000 to $250,000.

But as it stands, theagency still plans to spend

about $2.6 million morethan will be raised throughproperty taxes.

Going into a Thursdayafternoon budget workshopin Key West, the spendingplan for fiscal year 2011-12,beginning Oct. 1, totaled$12,384,687; revenues total$9.7 million, with $9 millionof that being generatedthrough countywide proper-ty tax assessments.

Mosquito Control Boardcommissioners heard fromdistrict Executive DirectorMichael Doyle that many ofthe reductions comprising the

newly identified $434,912 insavings were generated byemployees through a Web-based “anonymous sugges-tion box.”

Doyle’s three-year planfor the district involves dip-ping into reserve funds thisbudget cycle but buildingthat fund up in coming yearsthrough continued operatingreductions.

“The reserves would con-tinue to drop for the nextyear, less the following yearand, with the 2012-13 budg-et, assuming all goes wellwith our savings, we’d startbuilding the reserves up.We’re not out of the woodsby any means this year.”

Included in the cuts pre-sented Thursday are:

● $25,000 by cuttingovertime.

● $12,000 by eliminatinga housing stipend for thefive commissioners.

● $100,000 by not payinginto a trust fund that coversworker’s compensation andother claims lodged againstthe district.

● $187,310 from the repairand maintenance budget byputting off repairs at the dis-trict’s Key West building andadjusting aircraft upkeep costs.

Four facinglobster felonies

Apparently spooked bya passing Mosquito Controlaircraft, crewmen aboard aMarathon-based commer-cial lobster boat drew theattention of marine officersSept. 2.

An investigation endedwith the arrest of all four onfelony charges from a sus-pected trap-robbing tripnorth of the Seven MileBridge, according to theFlorida Fish and WildlifeConservation Commission.

“Our officers wereworking undercover on thewater when they saw a boat— the Classy Lady — sud-denly start moving andtraveling in a zig-zag pat-tern,” said Officer BobbyDube, an FWC spokesman.

“A [Florida Keys]Mosquito Control [District]aircraft flew overhead, andthese guys seemed to think

it was one of our FWCplanes,” Dube said. “Thatalerted our officers tothem.”

Officers Bryan Fugateand Josh Peters kept an eyeon the boat and moved inafter they reported witness-ing possible trap-robbingactivity.

The officers said thecrewmen began dumpingcontainers of lobster overthe side of the boat, evenafter one of the officers hadboarded the lobster boat.That resulted in felony evi-dence-tampering chargesadded to felony trap-molesting counts.

“Some people believethat if they get rid of thelobster, they won’t getcharged for having a bignumber of lobster,” Dubesaid. “They’ll still get hitwith a felony for interferingwith an officer.”

Boat operator NelsonRojas, 43; and crewmenJesus Zuluago Carillo, 35;Maikel Martinez Alvarez,31; and Raudel Rubio, 25,all of Marathon, werearrested. Twenty under-sized lobster were seized.

ON THE WATER

By KEVIN WADLOWSenior Staff [email protected]

“She would get mybrother’s cell phone and shewould call me and say,‘Uncle Pat, are you hereyet? You’ve got to get herequick because Mommy has-n’t been home and she has-n’t changed her clothes, shehasn’t had a shower yet;you’ve got to come up hereand help us find her.’ Thathurt. She would get on thephone every two hours andtell me the same thing.”

The next day, the familywent into the city, alongwith thousands of others, tosearch for any sign that theirloved ones somehowescaped the attack.

“We posted pictures ofher all over subways and onthe street and everything,”Clyne said. “There were lit-erally tens of thousands ofpictures in subways, stores,all along the city streets. Wewent and checked out all ofthe hospitals. There werelines and lines and lines ofpeople. It was just a bigmess.”

Susan, along with morethan 2,600 others, died atthe World Trade Center.

“I’ve got to give credit tomy brother,” Clyne said.“He’s done a fabulous jobraising those kids. I’mextremely proud of all thekids.”

The oldest, twinsMichael and Marie, are sen-iors at the RochesterInstitute of Technology andthe University of Hartford,respectively. Kevin is a jun-ior at Fordham Universityand Tim is in high school.

Clyne discussed howMarie, 21, has turned hergrief in to a positive, study-ing psychology and work-ing as a counselor for chil-dren that, like her, wereaffected by terror attacks.

She interns at a camp forchildren who also lost fami-ly, Tuesday’s Children;appeared Friday morning onABC’s “The View;” hasbeen featured on CBS Newsand “The Oprah WinfreyShow:” and appears in thismonth’s edition ofRedbook.

The family has set up theSusan M. Clyne FoundationFund, which has raisedmore than $1 million to

install computer labs inLong Island schools and atthe Touro College LawCenter, her alma mater, per-petuating Susan’s love oftechnology.

Back at Ground Zero,Pat Clyne vividly describeda scene “in my mind I stillsee.”

“That night” after arriv-ing in New York, “I don’tknow what I was thinking,but I packed up a backpackand brought a shovel andother tools and I went in tothe city. I ended up right atGround Zero. It was still

burning.”He sat “amazed” on a

stack of plywood watchingtwo firefighters spray waterfrom a cherry picker intothe rubble when “the thingerupted like a volcano,”engulfing the responders,who had to be quicklymoved to safety.

“It was just these hugepiles of rubble on top ofpiles of rubble with firescoming out from all sides. Ireached the realization therewas nothing I was going todo with a little shovel.”

Cullen III was assigned toEngine 290 in Brooklyn in1996, the year before hisfather moved to the FloridaKeys and became a volunteerwith the Tavernier FireDepartment and a countyEmergency Managementstaffer.

Five years later, on themorning of Sept. 11, 2001,Cullen III reported to theSouth Tower as a member ofspecial operations Squad 41.

He was with five mem-bers of the squad whoentered the building and, asbest as anyone can surmise,was conducting a rescue mis-sion near an elevator shaft onthe 20th floor or so. All sixdied that morning.

“Out of 343 firefighterskilled that day, 128 have stillnot been found — and thatincludes my son,” Cullen Jr.said.

Cullen Jr. immediately

reserved a rental car afterwatching the attacks.

“I said, ‘If I don’t hearfrom him by tomorrowmorning, I’m out of here.’ Itook off the next morningand wound up drivingstraight through,” he said.

Cullen Jr. pulled somestrings with a firefighterfriend who was able to gethim to Ground Zero.

“I had to promise him Iwould not go on the pile anddo rescue work. I went downand saw for myself what Iwanted to see, said myprayers, and got back homesome time later thatevening,” he said.

Cullen Jr. would remainin New York with his son’swife and young son forweeks, waiting to hear if hisbody was found. He remem-bers being grateful to fellowMonroe County employees,who lined up to donate leavetime that he was running outof.

The family held a memo-rial for Cullen III on Oct. 5,2001, and Cullen Jr. returnedshortly thereafter to theKeys. He heard nothing

about his son until aroundMarch 2002, near St.Patrick’s Day.

Authorities found toolsand teeth in the remains bythe elevator shaft near the20th floor. But it was a piecefrom a belt that Cullen Jr.had given his son that let himknow he was really gone.

“He was known to wearthat belt every day heworked,” Cullen Jr. said.

Cullen Jr. lives nearKnoxville, Tenn., these days.He’s still active in fire rescuetraining, particularly col-lapsed and confined spaces.

“We always said after hewas on the job for a while,we’d go around teachingstuff. I’m just followingthrough on what he wantedto do,” he said.

Thomas Cullen IV recent-ly turned 12 years old. Hismother is remarried now, to aNew York City fireman.Cullen Jr. said he sees themboth as least twice a year.

“We’ll talk on the 11th,”he said. “It’s somethingthat’s with us and that’s theway it is.”

Snorkeler dies off Marathon

A snorkeling trip toSombrero Reef off Marathonended in the death of a localman Thursday.

Robert Tyson, 57, ofMarathon was snorkelingfrom a private boat at the pop-ular spot when he apparentlyfell unconscious and waspulled aboard a Seadog

Charters boat, according tothe Monroe County Sheriff’sOffice.

Despite rescue attempts bythe Seadog crew and anambulance crew on shore,Tyson was pronounced deadupon arrival at Fishermen’sHospital.

No cause of death wasdetermined. An autopsy at theMonroe County MedicalExaminer’s Office is sched-uled today.

Tyson apparently is the10th person to die in FloridaKeys waters as the result of adiving or snorkeling accident

in 2011.Tyson’s girlfriend, Colleen

Bartkovich of San Antonio,Texas, told Deputy SydneyWhitehouse she lost track ofher companion while theywere both in the water. Sheboarded their boat after snor-keling but did not see him.

Soon, the operator ofanother boat, James Melley,came alongside and told herTyson was being carried toshore by the Seadog boat.Since Bartkovich could notoperate their boat, Melleynavigated it back to port inMarathon.

Gastesi: More can be slashed

Monroe County commis-sioners Wednesday OK’dmerging departments to cutcosts and approved the com-ing year’s property tax rate.

Commissioners unani-mously approvedAdministrator RomanGastesi’s suggestion tomerge the Engineering andProject Management depart-ments into the Public Worksdivision and eliminate twosenior directors to saveabout $200,000.

Meeting in Key Largo fora public hearing, the com-missioners also approved aproperty tax rate of $4.22per $1,000 of assessed prop-erty value. That’s 3.9 per-cent less than the rate thatwould generate the samerevenue as this year.

The tax rate could goeven lower. Gastesi said onThursday that the $78.7 mil-lion budget will be cut atleast $600,000 more, withre-allocation of some grantfunds. That would make thetax rate $4.19.

Most of the discussionamong commissioners atWednesday’s hearing cen-tered on employee raises.Commissioners could not

agree on across-the-board 5-percent raises as Gastesi ini-tially proposed.

He said on Thursday he’llbring cost breakdowns to theboard’s next budget meetingbased on differing raises:County firefighters wouldget no raises; employees inthe state’s retirement optionsprogram would get 2 percentraises; employees whoreceived raises in the pastthree years would get 3 per-cent raises; and those whodid not get raises in that timewould get 5 percent raises.

Commissioner SylviaMurphy lobbied hard for the5 percent raises across theboard, saying it wouldamount to a pay increase ofonly 2 percent because gov-ernment employees mustnow contribute 3 percent

toward their state retirement.Previously, they didn’t con-tribute anything.

“Three plus two stillequals five,” CommissionerKim Wigington said.

“It’s time we start think-ing about all the people whomake this a damn good placeto live,” Murphy said.

Wigington andCommissioner GeorgeNeugent have opposed payincreases in a strugglingeconomy. CommissionerDavid Rice said he’s “philo-sophically opposed toacross-the-board raises.”

The next county budgethearing is 5 p.m. Monday atthe Marathon GovernmentCenter. The final hearingwill be Thursday at theHarvey Government Centerin Key West.

Speak up on insuranceThere are two important meetings

next week concerning windstorminsurance.

The Florida Office of InsuranceRegulation has scheduled a hearing onrate increases proposed by CitizensProperty Insurance Corp. on Sept. 13at 4 p.m. in Tampa. Citizens will beholding a policyholders meeting onSept 14. at the Harvey GovernmentCenter at 1200 Truman Ave. in KeyWest from 5 to 7 or 7:30 p.m.

Fair Insurance Rates in Monroesuggests all policyholders attend theSept. 14 meeting in Key West toinform Citizens officials of any con-cerns they have regarding their insur-

ance, mitigation credits, mitigationinspection, etc. If you can, attend theTampa meeting, too (4 p.m. at theTampa Convention Center).

Monroe County residents and busi-nesses paid $73.5 million in premiumsto Citizens Property Insurance Corp.in 2010, so even a 10 percent increasetakes $7.3 million dollars from thecounty residents.

The proposed 2012 indicated ratechange for most Keys residents isabout 120.6 percent; however, the tem-porary state cap of 10 percent will keepthe rise to approximately 12.5 percent,including a provision for the FloridaHurricane Catastrophe Fund buildup

For class-rated condos, the increase

would be 92.7 to 127.4 percent, butthe state cap will keep the final billedrate to about 13.2 percent. Businessindicated rate change varies from134.3 to 178.9 percent, with about a10 percent mandated maximumincrease.

Please remember, these state-man-dated caps are an issue the Legislaturecontinues to debate. Some legislatorsare seeking to increase this annually,and for one type of Citizens insurance,the last Legislature allowed a substan-tial increase.

Where’s the anger?Where is the anger at our govern-

ment?The local and national governments

are spending money they don’t need.The president takes a trip to Martha’sVineyard and the taxpayers pay for itwhile we suffer gas prices too high.They’re not doing anything about thatand government is buying cars forpolice to use as their personal cars.They buy with taxpayers’ money anddon’t get full use of the cars and trucksbefore buying new ones every year.

They use scare tactics to scare uswhile doing nothing but spending andmore spending and getting nothingdone. We need to cut in all depart-ments.

I could go on and on but you all getthe picture, so I ask: Where is the angerat our corrupt government?

Open up with kidsThe Chicago Tribune’s report of 15

students suspended from Naperville(Ill.) North High School for drinkinguntil 5 a.m. on the morning schoolstarted on Aug. 17 — some of themstill intoxicated for the opening bell —paints a poignant, if problematic, pic-

ture of teens and alcohol.Research from Students Against

Destructive Decisions and LibertyMutual Insurance reveals that 63 per-cent of middle and high school studentshave used alcohol — and that by 12thgrade, about three in four are drinking.

So where were the parents of thesekids? Some were likely unaware (reali-ty gap) and others may have figuredthere was nothing they could do aboutit (myth of inevitability), while a fewperhaps aided and abetted the crime (ascenario frequently reported by youngdrinkers). “What’s the harm as long asthey’re not driving?” such parentsoften ask.

Where to start? Accidents?Incidents of violence? Unplanned sex-ual activity? Drownings? Acute alcoholpoisoning?

Regardless, many underage drinkersare driving. The data show that 13 per-cent of teen drivers say they have driv-en after drinking alcohol (15 percentsay they have done so after using mar-ijuana; and 7 percent report the sameregarding prescription drugs used ille-gally).

But there is a silver lining: Almosttwo decades of research reminds us ofjust how influential mom and dad are inthe choices their teenagers make.

Unfortunately, the same researchreveals a fault line in those relation-ships during the critical developmentalphase known as adolescence, whenyoung people need their parents morethan at any time during the lifespanother than early infancy.

The culprit? Lack of sustained, openand honest dialogue around the issuesyoung people themselves rate as mosttroubling — including impaired driv-ing. Not surprisingly, nearly one in fiveteens say that their parents have neverspoken with them about driving safety.And sadly, many parents who try meetresistance in the form of dishonesty.

Given that automobile crashesaccount for thousands of teen deathsannually, it’s imperative to begin theschool year with some clear conversa-tions about rules of the road — forthem and for us. It’s time to start talk-ing, for we have miles to go before wesleep.

Florida Keys election supervisorrealizes Florida’s new votinglaws will restrict voter access

We salute Monroe County Elections SupervisorHarry Sawyer Jr., who has added his name to thelist of good-government advocates battling incourt over Florida’s new more restrictive electionlaws.

As reported in the Aug. 31 Keynoter, Sawyerhas joined others asking the federal courts to inter-vene over laws passed this spring that reduce thenumber of early-voting days, impose stricter rulesfor voter-registration drives and limit change-of-address voting procedures.

Those rules are already being enforced in 62counties — but not Monroe County and four oth-ers, where the U.S. Department of Justice hasoversight over changes in local or state votinglaws due to past discrimination.

“Early voting is a hit throughout Florida,”Sawyer says. “The voters like it and MonroeCounty does very well with it.”

The Republican office holder, defying his ownparty bosses who pushed for the restrictive newrules, says: “I’ve always been very clear about mystand on this law. This is for the voters. It’s notabout politics.”

Alas, too few office holders in Florida embracethat same core principal — witness the foot drag-ging on new legislative and congressional districtmaps and the restrictive new voting laws rammedthrough by the Republican majorities in Florida’sHouse and Senate.

10 years later, we still mournWhen Sunday arrives, the families and friends

of some 3,000 people who died in the Sept. 11,2001, terror attacks will relive that horrible day.

Millions across the world will, too, but the 10-year anniversary of the most deadly attack on U.S.soil will be especially difficult for the loved onesof those who died.

On Page 1 of today’s Keynoter, reporters RyanMcCarthy and Sean Kinney introduce you to twoof those people: Pat Clyne of Key West, whose sis-ter-in-law died in the North Tower of the WorldTrade Center, and Thomas Cullen Jr., a formerKeys Emergency Management official whose fire-fighter son died in the South Tower.

Their words matter-of-factly — but painfully —remind us of how precious life is and how quicklyit can be gone, and of an episode in U.S. historythat has gone down as America’s darkest day.

We mourn with them, and we mourn for all wholost a piece of themselves that day.

New federal rules bolster same-sex couples’ rights

Same-sex couples andother domestic partners aregaining more control overwhat happens to their matesin the hospital under feder-al guidelines issued thisweek.

Hospitals should not bardomestic partners from vis-iting their mates unlessthere is a medical reason,and partners should not berequired to produce docu-ments to prove their rela-tionship, the guidelinesstate.

Also, if patients areincapacitated, hospitals

should not deny domesticpartners from being deci-sion-makers, although theymay have to prove they arehealthcare surrogates.

Couples in SouthFlorida’s large gay popula-tion have had recurringproblems with the health-care system, although theyhave seen more tolerance inrecent years, said TonyPlakas, chief executive ofCompass, a gay and lesbiancommunity center in LakeWorth.

“This is a good step for-ward for gay rights,”Plakas said. “There’s noreason a same-sex coupleshould be treated different-ly than a married couple inthe hospital.”

President Obamaordered the expanded rightslast year in response to the2007 case of a cruise tourist

who was blocked from see-ing her lesbian partner formore than eight hours atJackson Memorial Hospitalin Miami. The woman hada power of attorney faxedto the hospital, but she stillwas denied access.

The new guidelines tell6,150 U.S. hospitals thatthey could lose the right totreat Medicare patients ifthey discriminate againstsame-sex and unmarriedcouples. Many hospitals inFlorida and the nationchanged their practicesafter the Miami casearose.

“Most hospitals followthe policy where they dowhat the patient wants,”said Linda Quick, presidentof the South FloridaHospital and HealthcareAssociation.

But gay and lesbian

advocates said the newrules will not guarantee fairtreatment. For one thing,Florida does not recognizecivil unions, which maymake it harder for unmar-ried couples to prove theirlegal standing. Couples inBroward, Miami-Dade andPalm Beach counties canregister as domestic part-ners, strengthening theircase.

Advocates urged unmar-ried couples to fill out doc-uments naming each otheras healthcare surrogatesand granting power ofattorney.

“Is this strong enough toensure there will never bediscrimination againstsame-sex couples? Ofcourse not. But this shouldbe a powerful statement,”said Tara Borelli, an attor-ney for Lambda Legal, a

nonprofit group that suedJackson in the 2007 case.

Obama’s order in April2010 led to new federalrules that took effect inJanuary. This week’sguidance from the U.S.Department of Healthand Human Servicesspelled out the detailsmore clearly:

● Visitation: Patients canstate or make a list of whothey want to have visit.Hospitals must honor thosewishes unless there aremedical or other reasons. Ifthe patient is unconscious,the patient’s surrogate candecide on visitors.

● Medical decisions:Hospitals should let healthsurrogates make medicaldecisions for an incapaci-tated patient unless statelaw requires otherwise.

● Surrogates: If a person

says he or she is thepatient’s domestic partneror surrogate, hospitalsshould treat them as such.Officials should demandwritten proof only if some-one disputes the claim.Hospitals should respectsurrogate documents thatthe patient has signed,unless state law conflicts.

Problems could arise instates like Florida that donot recognize gay mar-riages, civil unions ordomestic partnerships, orfor people who travel tothose states, said TomSullivan, deputy director ofthe Human RightsCampaign, a national advo-cacy group. Without offi-cial status for unmarriedpartners, hospitals mayfavor family members to besurrogates, he said.

Prompted by angry criesfrom sinkhole policyholderswho face rate hikes of up to2,200 percent, CitizensProperty Insurance Corp. willconvene Monday in a specialmeeting to consider phasingin the rates over time to givesome homeowners a break,the company said Thursday.

Newly appointed ChairmanCarlos Lacasa has scheduled ateleconference for Mondayduring which Citizens boardmembers will discuss whetherto phase in the actuariallysound — but in some casesstunningly steep — sinkholepremium increases required bylawmakers earlier this yearwith the passage of SB 408.

The rate hikes, announcedin July, have prompted astorm of protest from the cus-tomers of the state-backedinsurer, which is now thestate’s largest property insurerwith more than 1.4 millionpolicies.

Citizens officials have saidrepeatedly that sinkholeclaims are threatening thecompany, its policyholders,and maybe the state’s resi-dents, who back the company

and would bail it out in theevent of failure. Last year, thecompany collected $32 mil-lion in sinkhole premium, butpaid out nearly $250 millionin claims.

The proposed sinkholecoverage increases rangefrom no increase in someareas of the state to an aver-age increase of 2,226 percentin the Orlando area.Statewide, the proposed sink-hole premium increase isnearly 450 percent.

On Monday, the board willmeet to discuss the pendingrates and whether the sinkholeportions could be phased in.Christine Ashburn, Citizens’director of legislative andexternal affairs, said theagency will have a slate ofoptions by Monday’s meeting.

Citizens is holding a pub-lic hearing on Tuesday inTampa, a region that has seena spike in sinkhole claims andwould experience some of thebiggest increases. The com-pany wants to be able to putsomething forward beforethat hearing, Ashburn said.

Fair Insurance Rates inMonroe’s executive director,Annalise Mannix, is planningto attend the Tampa hearing,and she’s hoping to recruitKeys policyholders to goalong or send letters of com-ment.

While the sinkhole rateswill likely dominate thatevent, Mannix wants to make

sure the Keys are representedwhenever rate increases arethe topic du jour. Mannix canbe reached at 797-0463 [email protected].

Mannix also wants policy-holders to turn outWednesday in Key West, fora 5 p.m. policyholders’ meet-ing set by Citizens. The less-formal event is scheduled tolast two hours at the HarveyGovernment Center, 1200Truman Ave.

Ashburn said Citizens willbe represented in Key Westby Susanne Murphy, chiefadministration officer, andSteve Bitar, senior director ofconsumer and agent services.

Policyholders who needone-on-one help with specificissues will be able to talk toone of the consumer repre-sentatives who are also trav-eling to Key West, Ashburnsaid.

Mannix said she’s askingCitizens’ representatives totalk about a variety of thingsat the Key West session,including how the companydetermines its rates, a break-down of where customer’spremiums go and how thecompany believes it canreduce its policyholder ranks.Another hot topic will likelybe mitigation credits and thecompany’s reinspection pro-gram.

Critics of the rate hikesinclude Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, and Sean

Shaw, a former insurance con-sumer advocate within theDepartment of FinancialServices. Shaw, who nowworks for a Tampa law firmthat handles sinkhole cases,formed a group calledPolicyholders of Florida tofight the hikes.

“The policyholders ofFlorida delivered a majorwake up call to CitizensProperty Insurance followingtheir unanimous support ofoutrageous sinkhole rate hikesat their previous meeting,”Shaw said in a statement. “It’sgreat to see that they are nowreconsidering, but this won’tsilence our efforts.”

Council OKs budget at first hearing

As expected, theMarathon City Councilapproved a tentative 2011-12budget in short order duringits first public budget hearingThursday.

Finance Director PeterRosasco gave a short budgetsummary and the councilapproved the same 1.9999property tax rate it originallyOK’d on July 21.

The 1.9999 tax rate is 3.41percent under the rollbackrate of 2.0705. Rollback isthe tax rate necessary to gen-

erate the same amount ofproperty taxes as the currentfiscal year. This year’s taxrate is 1.8458.

At the 1.9999 rate, theowner of a $300,000 home inMarathon would pay $599 inproperty taxes in the fiscalyear that starts Oct. 1.

The city proposes to use$433,000 in reserves toachieve the 1.9999 tax rateand would be left with rough-ly $4.1 million for expenses.Rosasco told the council thatwould leave the city with46.7 percent of its $8.8 mil-lion operating budget onhand in case of emergency.

“We try to target 50 per-cent, but 46.7 [percent] wefeel is an appropriate levelthis year, another challengingyear for all governments. Itallows us to reduce the bur-

den on taxpayers in our com-munity,” he said.

The city’s total budget is$42.27 million. That includesa $6.67 million special rev-enue budget, $975,648 fordebt service and $25.83 mil-lion in enterprise funds.

Rosasco pointed out thatfire rescue (31 percent) andpolice services (16.2 percent)make up 47.2 percent of thecity’s overall operating budg-et. Parks and Recreation isthe third largest expense at11.8 percent.

The city’s three enterprisefunds — marina, stormwaterand wastewater — are notpaid for with tax dollars, butrather with fees.

The capital infrastructurefund includes funding fortwo-thirds the cost of theroughly $1.1 million Grassy

Key fire station, as well asmoney for preliminary plansfor a new City Hall and asplash park, baseball fieldand fence refurbishments atthe current City Hall eventsfield.

Rosasco noted the steepdecline in property tax basein Marathon since 2008. Cityproperties were valued at$2.91 billion in 2008 and fellto just $1.83 billion in 2011.

“These last years we’vehad to focus on keeping ourbudget at a bare minimum.We’ve been able to do thatand exceed rollback eachyear,” he said.

The city’s second andfinal budget hearing is sched-uled for Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.at the Marathon GovernmentCenter.

Sharks could get their own tag

Sharks taken from Floridawaters may deserve theirown trophy tag, state fisherymanagers said Thursday.

In giving tentativeapproval to adding four newshark species to the state’sno-take list, Florida Fish andWildlife ConservationCommission told agencystaff to consider creating atag in order to keep a bigshark.

As suggested, the sharktag could be similar to tarpontag, a special $50-per-fishrequirement for any tarponharvested for mounting or

potential record submissions.The tag was introduced

for tarpon to limit senselesskilling of the large game fish,which is generally not con-sidered a food fish.

Sharks are more edible,but the numbers of largesharks have dropped sharplyin recent years, according tobiologists.

At Thursday’s FWCmeeting in Naples, boardmembers agreed to move ano-take rule for tiger sharksand three species of big ham-merhead sharks (great,smooth and scalloped) for-ward.

Final action on adding thefour shark species to the listof 22 sharks already protect-ed from harvest will bescheduled for a Nov. 16-17meeting in Key Largo.

FWC Chairwoman KathyBarco said, “We recognizethat maintaining healthy

shark populations is criticalto the sustainability of ourmarine ecosystem.”

Florida has protected bigsharks since 1992 with lowbag limits and a ban onshark-finning, in addition tothe closed shark species.

Agency staff also wasurged to contact fishinggroups and conservationorganizations “to develop aneducational campaign high-lighting proper fishing andhandling techniques whencatching and releasingsharks.”

Several Florida Keyswaterfront operations haveenrolled in the Shark-FreeMarina Initiative, a cam-paign endorsed by notedartist and marine biologistGuy Harvey, that asks cus-tomers not to land any bigsharks at their facility. TheTavernier Creek Marina isamong the Shark-Free opera-

tions.In other action by the

FWC this week, the agency:● Approved draft rules to

open the spotted sea troutfishery to recreationalanglers year-around. Theseason currently closes inNovember and December inSouth Florida.

In the Florida Keys, seatrout generally are Gulf ofMexico species. Populationestimates of spotted seat routhave “exceeded goals,”according to the FWC. Afinal decision will be made atthe November meeting in theKeys.

● The management ofoctocoral harvest in federalwaters — a practice essen-tially limited to commercialaquarium-supply industry —will be taken over by statefishery managers. Live-fishcollectors in the Keys gener-ally support the action.

Three to manage homeless shelter

Come Oct. 1, manage-ment of the Keys OvernightTemporary Shelter on StockIsland will be handed off to aconsortium of three social-service providers, givingKey West officials time toissue a request for proposalsseeking a long-term manag-er.

Operational duties of thefacility, which regularlyhouses around 150 homelessmen and women, will besplit between the GuidanceCare Center of the FloridaKeys, St. Mary Star of theSea Outreach Mission and

Samuel’s House.Since October 2004,

KOTS, on the grounds of theSheriff’s Office headquar-ters, has been run the FloridaKeys Outreach Coalition,funded annually by about$400,000 from city coffers.The coalition has opted tonot renew its managementcontract, which expires onOct. 1, saying it wants tofocus on its main mission ofproviding transitional hous-ing.

The new shared manage-ment plan is based on a rec-ommendation from membersof the SouthernmostHomeless AssistanceLeague, itself a social-serv-ice umbrella that providesinteragency coordination.

“KOTS will be run col-laboratively, leveraging thestrengths of the various serv-ice providers,” SHALExecutive Director Wendy

Coles told the Key West CityCommission at a Tuesdaynight meeting.

“The Guidance CareCenter is strong in mentalhealth and substance abuseexpertise,” Coles continued.“That’s a major populationyou will find at KOTS.Samuel’s House has 12-plusyears of providing shelter forpeople who are homeless, sowe’ll have that skill.”

“And Star of the Sea hasstrong managerial skills and,of course, Star of the Seacoordinates across agenciesrelative to distributing food.”

“The residents of KOTSwill see business as usual,”Coles said, adding, “We’renot going to disrupt the resi-dents.”

Coles also said that serv-ices at KOTS could be dove-tailed to complement a newprogram SHAL is coordinat-ing that would see a retrofit-

ted recreational vehicle pro-vide things like wound care,counseling and computeraccess to the homeless.

She said a 15-month pilotprogram would cost$157,000; the Klaus MurphyFoundation has chipped in$65,000 and the GuidanceCare Center another$52,000. At a Thursdaybudget hearing, the CityCommission agreed to makeup the $42,000 differenceout of the city’s general fund.

“There tend to beencampment [of homeless]that are territorial,” Colessaid. “There are differentgroups and, as is normal insociety, sometimes allgroups don’t mix well. Itseemed smart: Let’s start byreaching out to the people onthe streets rather than expect-ing them all to convene inone place.”

She said the RV wouldspend no more than twohours at specific locationsaround town; after the pilot,Coles said, the program willcost between $50,000 and$60,000 each year. Grantswould be pursued for that.

Dolphins overpower Spartans

Considering what’s on tapFriday night, Thursday’s 30-13 football win over districtopponent Miami CountryDay was huge for MarathonHigh School.

Playing on short rest afteran emotional loss to Keysrival Coral Shores High onSept. 2, Marathon (1-1) over-came early turnovers and gotits running game going lateto pull away from theSpartans.

Coach Lance Martinjoked that the Dolphins“bored [the crowd] to death”with its methodical offense,but it was effective. TheDolphins threw just twopasses the entire game.

“I was happy with the waywe blocked and we got all ofour running backs going. Ifyou’ve got four or five run-ning backs that can run theball well, the fresh legs inthere will get the other team,”he said.

Dolphin runners RamarloRobertson, Peter Culver,Trevelle Beckford, TommyDodamead, Dwayne Ellisand Doniel Esquirol com-bined to rush for 389 yardson 63 carries.

Beckford led the way with24 carries for 138 yards andtwo touchdowns, whileRamarlo Robertson had 120yards on 18 carries. PeterCulver ran 15 times for 64yards and a touchdown,Dodamead ran three times

for 44 yards and Esquirol had16 yards and a touchdown.

Marathon’s defense alsoplayed well, dominatingCountry Day the entire game.The Dolphins allowed just 35total yards, including 33rushing yards on 25 attempts.

Robertson had 10 tackles,one for a loss, while Esquirolhad seven and a fumblerecovery.

The Spartans’ only scor-ing plays came after a fum-bled Dolphins punt attempt attheir own 12-yard line and an

85-yard kickoff return.“Both of those touch-

downs were on our specialteams. They played reallywell and they shut themdown,” Martin said.

Rolling into town Fridaynight will be district rival

University School out ofBroward County. Accordingto MaxPreps.com, Universityis the fourth-best team inFlorida and the 31st best inthe U.S.

Last year, the Suns lost toTrinity Catholic of Ocala inthe state 2B championshipgame, a thriller that sawTrinity win in triple overtime,56-55.

This year, Universityopened its season with aneasy 54-14 Kickoff Classicwin over North BrowardPrep on Aug. 26, then trav-eled to Goose Creek, S.C., onSept. 3, returning home witha 52-51 victory. Senior quar-terback Gunnar Holcombethrew for 362 yards and fourtouchdowns.

“That’s going to be thebest team that ever set foot onthis field. [The kids] knowwhat they’re going up againstnext week,” Martin said.

The Dolphins had aninauspicious start Thursday,fumbling on their first pos-session after converting apair of first downs.Marathon’s punter fumbledat the Dolphins’ 12-yard lineon the team’s next posses-sion, leading to CountryDay’s first score with 2:11left in the first quarter.

“It was like deja vu allover again, but I was happywith the way the kids recov-ered,” Martin said.

Conchs win on Dolphins’ course

Even a sub par outing bycoach George Twyman’sstandards was enough forKey West High School towin a three-team golf tour-nament Wednesday atSombrero Country Club inMarathon.

The Conchs’ 161 bestedRansom Everglades School(163) by two strokes, whilehost Marathon High finishedthird with 196. The top fouroverall scores make up theteam total.

Twyman said that a “150on that course, or below,would have been a goodscore.”

“But we’re in our learn-ing process. We’re doing alot of different things. Wehad to count a couple scoreswe normally wouldn’t, butall in all they did fine, beingthe second match of theyear,” he said.

No. 1 Evan DeRoche ledthe Conchs with a 37 on theback nine, while JosephArazi shot 38, Nick Patrocky40 and A.J. Davila 46.Trevor Pike shot a 51.

The Marathon HighSchool swim team has ithard enough practicing in aSombrero Resort pool that’sshorter than the 25-yardnorm.

But Dolphins coachSarah Maschal said a three-team meet Wednesdayagainst LaSalle and St.Brendan high schools tookplace in a St. Brendan poolmuch longer than regula-tion.

“It was a tough meetbecause the pool was 33yards and our pool that wepractice in is shorter thanregulation. So a longer-than-regulation pool wastough on the kids,” she said.

Maschal said the kids’times from the meet can’tbe used to count towardrecords or qualifying timesfor other meets because ofthe pool’s irregular dis-tance.

Senior Kyra Simcic-Swanson was the lone win-ner from the varsity squad.She took first place in the200-yard freestyle in anunofficial time of 2:34.60.

The Dolphins had threesecond-place finishes aswell: Markie Sandusky inthe individual medley at1:54.40, Malorie Woodburyin the 50-yard freestyle at40.73, and the boys 400-yard freestyle with a time of5:28.30.

Maschal said the team’smiddle-school swimmers

did well. Sisters HannahGracy and Abby Gracyswam the 50-yard freestyle,as did Jeffery Vorick. Sixth-grader Audrey Matthisfilled in for a varsity back-stroke event at the lastminute.

“The middle-school kidsdid really well. They’re get-ting the hang of racing. Weput in some extra events sothey could have a chance to

swim,” Maschal said.The St. Brendan girls

won the meet with 87points, followed by LaSallewith 80 and Marathon with55. LaSalle won the boysmeet with 101 points. St.Brendan had 50 andMarathon 33.

The Dolphins are sched-uled to visit RansomEverglades School Tuesdayat 4 p.m.

The Dolphins continuedto press Country Day, butwere stopped short of thegoal line on a fourth-downrunning play at the 1-yardline with 4:44 remaining inthe first half.

Marathon’s defense stoodstrong and forced a Spartanspunt that barely traveled 20yards and set the Dolphinsup deep in Country Day ter-ritory.

The ensuing eight-playdrive was at time chaotic astime ran down in the firsthalf, but Marathon managedto convert a fourth-downplay from the 9-yard linethanks to a great run byBeckford. It was good for afirst down and Beckfordscored from the 1-yard lineas time ran out in the firsthalf to tie the game at 7-7.

“I wasn’t happy with thescore at the half because weran 40 offensive plays, butwe turned the ball over threetimes and that’s somethingwe have to clean up,” Martinsaid.

Clean it up the Dolphinsdid in the second half, wear-ing the Spartans down andoutscoring them 23-6 in thefinal 24 minutes of play.

Marathon’s opening sec-ond-half possession endedafter seven plays with aCulver touchdown fromseven yards out at the 6:52

mark of the third quarter. Adropped snap on the extrapoint gave Marathon a 13-7lead.

Country Day answeredback immediately with thelong kickoff return for atouchdown. A wide-leftextra-point attempt kept thescore tied at 13-13.

Another lengthyMarathon drive ended with afield goal attempt by DonielEsquirol that sailed just wideleft and the score remainedtied.

But Esquirol recovered a

Country Day fumble on abackwards lateral pass thatleft the Dolphins with a shortfield. Beckford capitalizedon an 18-yard quarterbackkeeper right up the middle togive Marathon a 20-13 leadafter the extra point.

Country Day’s ensuingpossession ended whenDodamead came up with ahuge stop on a fourth-and-one play. The Dolphins capi-talized again with anEsquirol field goal to go up23-13 with 4:44 remaining inthe game.

The Dolphins stoppedCountry Day on theSpartans’ next possessionand Esquirol topped off asolid all-around performancewith a touchdown run fromnine yards out to giveMarathon the 30-13 victoryafter his extra point.

‘United 93’ screens on Sunday

Remembering those whodied and honoring those whoserved on Sept. 11, 2001,Key West’s Tropic Cinemaand the American Red Crosson Sunday present a screen-ing of the 2006 film “United93.”

United Airlines Flight 93took off from NewarkInternational Airport shortlyafter 8 a.m. on the day of theterror attacks, en route to SanFrancisco. Less than an hourinto the flight, the Boeing757 carrying 44 people

abruptly changed coursetoward Washington, D.C.,before falling into a field inStonycreek Township, Pa. Itwas part of the deadliestattack on U.S. soil in thecountry’s history.

Paul Greengrass (“BloodySunday,” “The BourneSupremacy”) wrote anddirected the unflinching, real-time account of the events onUnited 93, depicting themoments from takeoff to thehijacking until the passengersand crew foiled the terroristplot — but lost their lives inthe process.

In 2006 and 2007, theLondon Critics Circle, theNew York Film Critics Circleand the Washington, D.C.,

Film Critics Associationnamed “United 93” their bestfilm of the year.”

Proceeds from Sunday’s 2p.m. screening at the Tropic,416 Eaton St., go to theFlight 93 National MemorialCampaign. The memorialwill be part of a 2,200-acrenational park being created tocommemorate the 44 passen-gers and crew who died inthe crash, just outside ofShanksville, Pa.

Tickets are $6 for Tropicmembers and $10 for generaladmission.

“United 93” is rated R forscenes of violence and actualvideo of planes hitting theWorld Trade Center towers.

Art lovers can judge forthemselves on Thursday,Sept. 15, when Walk onWhite art galleries open theirdoors.

Thurber’s work is among15 artists featured at the sea-son opener hosted by TheStudios of Key West from6-9 p.m.

Jay Scott, executive direc-tor at The Studios, says the“studio artists help form thebackbone of the organizationand we want to kick off thenew season with a tribute tothem.”

“I grew up in Key Westand my favorite subjects arethe colorful, eccentric peopleof the island,” Thurber says.“I paint and create bas-reliefwood carvings in a stylemade famous by MarioSanchez.

“Until now, I’ve workedin ‘improvised’ studio spacesfor over twenty years. It’sgreat to have new space and

work in a supportive environ-ment amongst some of thebest artists on the Island.”

In addition to Thurber’shigh-energy watercolors,patrons can see works fromphotographers, sculptors,painters, digital media artists,a writer and jewelry makers -all forming the group of 15artists in residence this fall.

Memoir captureshurt of racism

“What a miracle oftime travel this memoiris! With the deliciouslyspecific recall of a loving,inquisitive child, NormaWatkins places us insidethe Mississippi in whichshe grew up, yet sheexposes at the same timethe suppressions andsilences that held herworld in place. Watkinswrites with the irre-sistible honesty that ledher to become the womanwho couldn’t be quietanymore.”

-Lynne Barrett, authorof “Magpies” and “The

Secret Names of Women”

Norma Watkins grewup in a segregatedMississippi and remem-bers well the lessonstaught there.

Her book, “The LastResort, Taking theMississippi Cure,” com-

memorates the 150thanniversary of the start ofthe Civil War.

A retired Miami-DadeCommunity College pro-fessor, Watkins will shareher memories and readfrom her memoirWednesday, Sept. 14, atGallery on Greene, 606Greene St., Key West.

She’ll also sign booksfollowing the reading,which begins at 5 p.m.

The Last Resort beginsin childhood at Allison’sWells, a Mississippi spapopular among “proper”white people, run by heraunt.

Life at the ramblinghotel seems like paradise,Watkins recalls, eventhough she wonderedabout a caste system thathas colored people cook-ing every meal, yet for-bids their sitting withwhites to eat.

Once integration iscourt-mandated, herfather becomes a stalwartcaptain in defense of JimCrow as a counselor tofiery, segregationistGovernor Ross Barnett.

new construction projects,additions, renovations and theadaptive reuse of historicstructures as well as thedesign of fine furniture,swimming pools, and bam-boo structures and fences.

And he paints.“My current works, which

utilize acrylic paint on can-vas, represent a free flowingexpression of my inner self inthe creative process,” Orozcosaid. “It is probably best

described as contemporaryabstract expressionism.”

Since its beginning inNov. 2006, The Studios hashosted 30 artists as part of itsresidency program, whichprovides long-term studiospace in the Armory and asister property at 610 WhiteSt.

Turtle: The IncredibleJourney Rated G, 81 min.,opens Friday, Sept. 9, TropicCinema, Key West

This documentary tellsthe story of one baby turtleand its fight for survivalagainst tremendous odds.There are a lot of facts andfigures quoted in the film,but the key statistic is that,out of every 10,000 eggs,only 1 hatchling will likelysurvive to adulthood. The

heart ofthe filmis the taleof a tur-tle’s lifeover aspan of25 yearsand withsomestunning,breath-takingscenesabove

and under the sea, the movieis worth watching for thecinematography alone.

Our tiny turtle begins lifeliterally buried in the sand ona Florida beach and, after adangerous run for the ocean,her journey continues at seafor the next quarter century,until our intrepid heroinereturns to that same exactbeach to lay her eggs. Alongthe way, she must struggle tosurvive against all sorts ofperils and predators, includ-ing the most dangerous perilof all - us.

“Turtle” was directed byNick Stringer, an Emmy-winning producer and direc-tor, who uses the film as away to show the plight ofendangered species and theneed for ocean conservation.Not a bad message, and thecrew filmed all over theCaribbean and Atlantic tocapture rare footage of tur-tles.

But some scenes werefilmed using rescued turtlesin a “specially built marinestudio.” Stringer says that insome scenes “the interactionsbetween the characters weredigitally enhanced with thelatest in special FX and blue-

screen technology.”One FX expert wrote that

the visual special-effects“footage of 3-D ‘wild ani-mals’ I helped produce for‘Turtle’ was so realistic even‘expert zoologists’ didn’tknow what they were watch-ing.” He continued, “Besidesfinal modeling and texturingand animation of three pho-torealistic 3-D hero turtlecharacters indistinguishablein every way from real tur-tles, I modeled textured andanimated blue sharks andcomposited and supervisedalmost 100 photorealisticdocumentary realism shots.”

That means that much of“Turtle: The IncredibleJourney” was created on acomputer or in a studio. Socan “Turtle” claim to be adocumentary? Or is it adocudrama instead? What’sreal and what’s not? Does itreally matter? I’ll leave thatup to the viewer to decide.Manufacturing reality isn’tnew in documentaries and Ibelieve the story of our tur-tle’s life and voyage is worthtelling, even if there is a littleHollywood magic involved.

The negative aspects are

the ever-present narrationand the blaring musicalscore.

Writer Melanie Finn, bestknown for her work on theerotic made-for-cable films“Red Shoe Diaries,” seemsunable to leave that melodra-ma behind and the narration,by a serious MirandaRichardson (‘EnchantedApril’), is overly theatrical.

Moses was probably lessdramatic when he broughtthe Ten Commandmentsdown from the mountain.And the music swells andbooms as if in competitionwith the narration to seewhich can be more over-the-top. Conductor and compos-er Elmer Bernstein wouldlove it.

But even with those twostrikes against it, I do think“Turtle” is worth seeing. Thestriking ocean scenes willenthrall nature lovers andenvironmentalists will appre-ciate the ecological messageof the film. And if otherviewers can just tune out thesound and enjoy the cine-matography, I think they’llenjoy it too.

19 Sombrero Blvd.Marathon

MUSTBE 21

His daughter flounders,

looking for escape. A fine

house, wonderful children,

and a successful husband

do not compensate for the

shock of Mississippi’s

brutal response to change,

daily made manifest by

the men in her home.

When a civil rights

lawyer offers love and

escape, does a good south-

ern lady dare leave her

home state and closed

society behind?

Former Miami Heraldreporter Madeleine Blais

writes: “Norma Watkins’s

The Last Resort: Taking

the Mississippi Cure joins

the esteemed ranks of

Carson McCullers and

Harper Lee. By going

through the eyes of the

perfect spy, that most mar-

ginal of creatures, a young

female child, to nail the

complexities, hypocrisy,

and even dangers in the

adult world, Watkins

winds up giving her read-

ers a gift of enduring

beauty.”

The St. PetersburgTimes review notes that

“Watkins began writing

The Last Resort long

before ‘The Help,’

Kathryn Stockett’s fiction-

al account of Jackson in

the civil rights era, was

published.

“Stockett grew up

there, too, but is young

enough to have to imagine

her story back to that time

- and to be able to imagine

its ending filled with

comeuppance and uplift.

Watkins lived it, and her

story’s ending is far less

rosy,” writes the St. PeteTimes’ Colette Bancroft.

Key West artist featured

at Hollywood show

Key West artist Deborah

Goldman will be recognized

at the opening reception

Friday, Sept. 9, at the Art and

Culture Center of Hollywood,

1650 Harrison St.,

Hollywood, Fl.

She’s one of a dozen South

Florida artists whose work has

been chosen for fellowships

from the South Florida

Cultural Consortium.

Goldman, a former studio

artist and now a board mem-

ber of The Studios of Key

West, is the only Monroe

County artist represented in

the show, which will be on

exhibit Sept. 9 through Oct.

16.

Her work will also be

showcased at Boundless

Ambition, an exhibit at the

Thompson Gallery at The

Cambridge School of Weston,

Ma. That show runs through

Nov. 7.

Winners of the 23rd

Annual South Florida Cultural

Consortium Visual and Media

Arts Fellowship Awards were

selected during a two-tier

judging process, which

included participation by

regional and national arts

experts.

Selection by the regional

panel was anonymous and

based solely on the quality of

the artists’ work as evidenced

by digital images, slides, or

video/films submitted, accord-

ing to the consortium.

The regional panel for-

warded their recommenda-

tions to a national panel,

which included Dina Deitsch,

Associate Curator, DeCordava

Sculpture Park and Museum,

Lincoln, MA; and Cheryl

Hartup, Chief Curator, Museo

de Ponce, Ponce, Puerto Rico.

The South Florida Cultural

Consortium, formed in 1985,

is an alliance of the local art

agencies in Martin, Palm

Beach, Broward, Miami-

Dade, and Monroe counties.

Goldman’s work can be

seen at the Lucky Street

Gallery, 1130 Duval St., Key

West or by visiting her web-
