Those wanting to launch aboat or personal watercraftfrom anywhere on the MonroeCounty side of Card SoundRoad must look elsewhere.

Using Jersey barriers,boulders and “No Trespass”signs, areas like the popular“Jet Ski beach” and other

access points near CardSound Bridge are now for themost part off limits.

The nearest place forsomeone to put his or herboat in the water for free inMonroe County is now about40 miles south at the IndianKey fill ramp at mile marker79 in Islamorada.

County officials said theyclosed the four Card Sound

Road spots because exces-sive weekend parties left thearea littered with trash, beerbottles and cans and otherdebris, as well as spray-painted graffiti.

Monroe County MayorSilvia Murphy said the area

is also known for drunkenfights, loud music and dan-gerous personal-watercraftdrivers. She said the majorityof people who play there arefrom Miami-Dade County.

“On the weekends, there’snot a Monroe County resident

in the bunch. If they had notcome down here and screwedit up, nobody would haveever cared,” Murphy said. “Itgets worse and worse withevery passing week.”

None of the five smallbridges that span Card SoundRoad, which are popular fish-ing spots, will close, Murphysaid. “They can fish til theirheart’s content,” she said.

Monroe County Sheriff’sOffice spokeswoman DeputyBecky Herrin called the CardSound area “a hot spot fortrouble.” She said deputieswere frequently called there torespond to fights, traffic inci-dents and other disturbances.

Dog owners feel targeted by police

Longtime users of theunofficial dog park behindMarathon City Hall foundthe timing curious at bestWednesday of a Sheriff’sOffice visit there to enforcethe city leash law.

As many as 20 frequentpark visitors showed up toTuesday’s City Councilmeeting protesting the possi-bility of a fenced-in area thatwould limit their animals’ability to run and exercise.

The next day, Sheriff’sOffice Capt. GeneThompson went to the park,called Oceanfront Park, andreportedly told about 15 peo-ple their dogs are required tobe leashed on the city-ownedwaterfront property.

“He showed up, very

civilly, and essentially saidwe didn’t have to leave buthad to put our dogs on leash-es,” Mike Pinton said. “Weall kind of had the same feel-ing that it’s kind of hard toplay fetch when your dog ison a leash.”

Pinto said that rather thanleash their animals, they allleft. He said many questionedthe visit coming one day afterthe group spoke out againstthe fence, adding that he’sbeen using the park “prettymuch every day” for five

years and never encounteredthe Sheriff’s Office there.

“We show up with 20people and 13 spoke and thenext day the police showup,” he said.

Thompson couldn’t bereached for comment, butinterim City Manager MikePuto said city officials didn’tdirect Thompson to enforcethe leash law.

LaTorre scheduledfor Friday release

After serving more thanthree years in state prison forparalyzing a woman whiledriving drunk, a former direc-tor of Monroe County SocialServices is scheduled forrelease this coming Friday.

In 2008, a jury convictedLouise LaTorre, 66, of drunk

d r i v i n g -causing bod-ily harm.M o n r o eC o u n t yC i r c u i tCourt JudgeLuis Garciasent him toprison in

June 2011, fed up with whatprosecutors called LaTorre’sbaseless appeals.

In the April 15, 2006,crash, LaTorre was drivingsouth in the northbound laneof U.S. 1 at mile marker 8 at2:45 a.m. His pickup struckNadezda Bowman’s north-bound sport utility vehiclehead-on, causing it to rollover and come to rest on itsside. Florida Highway PatrolCpl. Gary Dunick testified attrial that he feared Bowmanwas dead when he reachedthe scene.

Two separate tests showedLaTorre’s blood alcohol levelto be .101 and .102. Drivingwith blood-alcohol levels of.08 or higher is illegal inFlorida. Cocaine also wasfound in LaTorre’s system.

Bowman, like LaTorrethen a Big Coppitt Key resi-dent, was left paralyzed andwheelchair-bound. She hassince returned to her nativeCzech Republic.

LaTorre left the countyjob after his arrest.

and officers Gabriel Garrido,Gustavo Medina, KathyannWanciak, Gary Lee Lovette,Matthew Johnson, FranciscoZamora, Thaddeus Calvert,Derek Wallis, NicholasGalbo, Janeth Calvert, PabloRodriguez and Todd Stevensfor unspecified damages.

Friday, City AttorneyShawn Smith said “to myknowledge, [Mayor CraigCates] has not yet beenserved,” as is customary whenthe city is a named defendant.

In the past, local policehave been represented bylawyers affiliated with the

Dade County PoliceBenevolent Association. ThePBA was closed Friday.

After Eimers died, hisbody was transferred fromthe hospital to Dean-LopezFuneral Home for cremationrather than to the MonroeCounty Medical Examiner’sOffice for an autopsy, as isrequired by law for deaths inpolice custody.

Eimers’ body sat at Dean-Lopez until Dec. 11, when itwas taken to the MonroeCounty Medical Examiner’sOffice. Medical Examiner E.Hunt Scheuerman did anautopsy the next day but did-n’t rule on a cause of death.

The lawsuit says the delayin transferring the body from

the funeral home to the coronerwas “a calculated plan to allowthe destruction by cremation ofkey evidence of defendants’excessive force, reckless con-duct and bad faith.”

The autopsy revealedEimers had 10 broken ribswhen he died, but somemedical professionals saybroken ribs can result fromefforts at cardiopulmonaryresuscitation, which wasdone on Eimers.

The Florida Departmentof Law Enforcement isreviewing the circumstancessurrounding Eimers’ death.FDLE spokeswoman GretlPlessinger said Friday theinvestigation remains active.

Another delay for Zecca sentencing

A former U.S. CoastGuard commanding officerwho admitted to trying tohire a hitman to kill a MiddleKeys Realtor has had hissentencing pushed back asecond time.

Dennis Zecca, facing 10years in federal prison, is

now sched-uled forsentencingbefore U.S.D i s t r i c tCourt JudgeJ o s eMartinez at1:30 p.m.July 2 in

Courtroom 1 at 301Simonton St., Key West.

The sentencing was pre-viously set for Mondaymorning. Before that, it wasset for March 25.

Zecca, a former com-

manding officer of CoastGuard Station Islamorada,admitted in federal court inNovember that he tried tohire a hitman to killMarathon Realtor BruceSchmitt (he was not injured).The hired gun turned out tobe a federal informant.

In return for his guiltyplea to murder for hire, theU.S. Attorney’s Officedropped charges of conspira-cy to possess with intent todistribute cocaine, attempt topossess with intent to distrib-ute cocaine, and transfer of a

firearm to a convicted felon.After 26 years with the

Coast Guard culminatingwith his Islamorada post,Zecca became part-ownerof the Marathon Marinaand Boatyard.

He was arrested Dec. 21,2012, for attempting to payan employee — a federalinformant who is a convict-ed felon — $20,000 or akilo of cocaine to murderSchmitt. No one has eversaid what the incentivewas, and Schmitt says hehas no idea.

Federal authorities saythe murder plot had “associ-ates and co-conspirators inthis offense” but have notsaid who they are. Thatinformation could come outat sentencing.

Zecca was arrestedafter the informant, whowas wearing a wire for thefeds, showed Zecca a doc-tored photo of Schmittlying in a pool of bloodand as Zecca was going toget $5,000 of the $20,000payment for the hit.

Cops: Texas Womanforsook kids for beer

A Texas woman wasarrested Wednesday in KeyWest after allegedly kick-ing her two children out ofher vehicle on Duval Streetin Old Town.

Suzanne Simon, 38 ofSugarland, Texas, is chargedwith felony child neglect.Friday, she remained in theMonroe County DetentionCenter on Stock Island inlieu of $5,000 bond.

The children, a 12-year-old boy and 8-year-old girl,were handed over thestate’s Department ofChildren and Families.

Key West police respond-ed to the Inn at Key West onNorth Roosevelt Boulevardaround 9:30 p.m. Wed nes -day where an apparentlyintoxicated Simon was in the

T h ekids, atthis point,had beenreuni tedwith their

mother. But they toldOfficer Bradley Lariz that“Suzanne wanted morebeer and cigarettes andkicked both [children] outof the car, driving away,leaving them,” accordingto the report.

The girl eventuallyfound the car and got backin, while the boy asked twowomen he met on the streetfor a ride back to the hotel.

The little girl told Larizthat “Suzanne continued todrive around yelling at herand slapping her on theforehead. Suzanne kickedher out of the car two moretimes to find beer and shepicked a beer up off thesidewalk to give Suzanne.”

FWC: 200 sea-cucumber limit

The fate of a Lower Keyscommercial sea-cucumberbusiness could be decidedWednesday, says the FloridaSea Cucumber corporatepresident.

That’s when a decision onsetting daily or trip limits forthe bottom-dwelling inverte-brates goes before the FloridaFish and Wildlife ConservationCommission board, meetingnear Tallahassee.

“This will pretty muchdecide which way it’s going togo,” said Eric Lee of FloridaSea Cucumber, a firm thatwants to sell processed seacucumbers to China as a foodand nutritional supplement.

FWC staff says in a back-ground report that it will holdto an earlier recommendationto create a daily trip limit of200 sea cucumbers for peo-ple holding a commercial

marine-life license with aspecies endorsement.

“The proposed rule wouldallow the established tradi-tional fishery that suppliessea cucumbers alive to theaquarium trade to continue tooperate under its currentpractices and could be care-fully expanded later, if appro-priate,” says a summary byFWC biologists MelissaRecks and Mason Smith.

Lee said the 200 dailylimit “would put us out ofbusiness” at the firm’sRamrod Key processingfacility, now largely dormant.

Florida Sea Cucumber willask the FWC to choose a sec-ondary alternative offered byagency staff: A commercial triplimit of 500 sea cucumbers perday per vessel until the annualharvest reaches 150,000 seacucumbers. After that annualharvest is reached, the limitwould drop to 50 cucumbersper day for the rest of the year.

“Given the options of beingout of business or being able tostay in business and get ourmoney back, we hope the com-missioners will go with thehigher boat limit,” Lee saidThursday. “Even with that, it

would take a lot longer torecover our investment.”

Currently, there is no dailylimit on sea cucumbers formarine-life license holders.The limit on marine-lifelicenses is capped at the cur-rent 160. Recreational fishcollectors have a five-cucum-ber daily limit.

The FWC in Novembermoved toward the 200 limitbut then reconsidered andasked staff to review otheralternatives.

Many other traditionalfish-management rules, likesize limits, would be diffi-cult to apply to sea cucum-bers, staff said.

Virtually all of Florida’scommercial sea-cucumberharvest before 2013 was limit-ed to the aquarium trade,which took about 16,000 ani-mals annually. Those numberstripled in 2013 when a fewmarine-life collectors beganselling to the food industry.

The Florida Marine LifeAssociation, which representsmany of the state’s profession-al fish collectors, stronglyendorses the 200 daily limit onsea cucumbers, said groupPresident Jeff Turner.

State: Relax lionfish rules further

Scuba rebreathers andrelaxed spearfishing rulesshould be added to the arse-nal in the war against lion-fish, state fishery managerswill hear Wednesday.

Staff of the Florida Fishand Wildlife ConservationCommission will urge FWCvoting board members totake more steps that allowdivers to kill lionfish, aninvasive species seen as aclear danger to native fishpopulations.

“Unfortunately, it is high-ly unlikely that lionfish willbe completely eradicatedfrom Florida waters,” says astaff report.

The state already hastaken several steps toincrease the harvest of lion-fish, such as allowing diversto spear or capture lionfishwithout a saltwater fishinglicense. Anglers need a fish-ing license but can take asmany lionfish as they want.

New rules being proposedwould allow divers who userebreathers to spear lionfish.A rebreather basically recy-cles a diver’s oxygen.

Florida law bans the useof rebreathers — which donot emit bubbles, making iteasier to approach fish — forall spearfishing. An excep-tion should be made for lion-fish, FWC staff says.

The agency cites KeyLargo lionfish derbies asexamples of how allowingthe spearing of lionfish inwaters normally closed tospearfishing proved to be“excellent opportunities tosafely facilitate lionfishremoval.”

The FWC meets Wednes -day and Thursday in Havana,outside of Tallahassee.

areas are controlled by boththe state and Monroe County.

But not everyone in theKeys is happy that yet anoth-er waterfront access area isclosed to the public.

Backcountry fishingguide Capt. Mike Makowskisaid a popular boat ramp onthe north side of the CardSound Bridge is now closed.Makowski said he and otherguides frequently used thatramp to launch their boats,especially when they tookclients to fish off the nearbyOcean Reef Club.

“I use it a lot, and a lot ofother guys I know use it,”Makowski said. “It was thelast free boat ramp open 24hours in the area.”

Key Largo boat ownersand backcountry guides whotrailer their vessels haveother places to launch, butnot without cost.

The Caribbean Club atmile marker 104 charges $20for boat-ramp use. Gilbert’sMarina at mile marker 107charges $10.

Upper Keys guides canalso put in at HomesteadBayfront Park Marina inMiami-Dade, but that, too,will cost them — $12 duringthe week and $15 onFridays, Saturdays, Sundaysand holidays.

“They’re limiting ouraccess to the water, andthat’s why people comedown here in the firstplace,” Makowski said.

bors and visitors to the parkwho raised concerns aboutdogs running free. Severalclaimed they’ve encountereddogs from the park on their98th Street or 99th Streetproperties. The City Hallproperty is between thosetwo streets along U.S. 1.

However, both dog-parkusers and the park’s neigh-bors pointed out a largehomeless presence at thepark since the city beganimproving the area withbenches and pavilions.Residents said they’ve foundthe homeless sleeping ontables and benches, drinking

alcohol and even enteringpublic restrooms for longperiods of time in pairs.

Puto said he spoke toThompson and that “his bigthing coming through waswe had a lot of people com-plaining about the home-less.”

“Why we haven’t[enforced the leash law]before, I don’t have ananswer. Everything came tothe council including thehomeless, so I guess it allsnowballed at one time.Right now, it still has tocome before the city councilto see if they want to do adog park” next to city hall,Puto said.

The city already has adedicated dog park, at U.S. 175th Street.

City Community ServicesDirector Debbie London saidthere are plans for a fenced-in dog area at the park at CityHall. The city has installedkayak docks and is alsobuilding a recreation trail onthe property.

“It wasn’t that we had todo it, but it was something[then-City Manager RogerHernstadt] wanted to includeon the plans as an optionalitem,” London said.

Mayor Dick Ramsayfloated the idea of exploringproperty outside of City Hallfor another dog park.

“The [City Hall] park isand has been from the begin-ning more of a people parkthan a dog park and the cityput a lot of money into thatconcept. And that was part ofthe grant to purchase theproperty,” Ramsay said.

“The message I got theother night was what wehave planned was too small,”he said. “They want a spacewhere they can throw a ball,and I understand that.However, I don’t think it’sgoing to work at OceanfrontPark because it’s too small.We can’t afford to take awayany more space from theactivities of our residents.”

Ramsay floated the ideaof using county-owned landon Grassy Key for a seconddog park but said it appearsthe terrain there would not besuitable. He also has staffexploring the possibility ofthe county School Board-owned Marathon Manor.way for a planned $220 mil-

lion upscale walled-in com-munity with a 99-slip marina.

Building stopped in 2008when construction workers,vendors and others literallywalked off the job, sayingthey weren’t being paid.

Brittian said his companyhas “already spent millionsof dollars” reinvesting in theproperty. There are 13 com-pleted homes, a clubhouseand pool. Local contractorCoral Marine Construction isworking on the marina,which is scheduled to becomplete by July.

“I had 30 men here work-ing for two years. Most ofthese homes, we had them all[certified for occupancy] inNovember,” he said.

The 13 Dutch Colonial- orDutch Caribbean-style homeswere far from finished whenPalm Hill took ownership.

“Most of the things wereonly 60 to 80 percent done. Itlooked like they were done.They had one unit done youwent through, but it wasn’tconnected” to the citywidecentral sewer system,Brittian said.

Brittian said the MarlinBay property comprises 7.58

upland and 6.22 submergedacres. The marina wouldaccommodate boats from 24feet to 70 feet long.

Palm Hill is working withthe same development agree-ment as originally approvedby the City Council in 2005.That means another 71homes could be built.

Brittian said the unitsrange from roughly 2,500square feet to 4,000 squarefeet of living space. Theyvary from 4,000 square feetto 7,000 square feet whenaccounting for “under roof”space like garages, storage

and porches.Brittian said prices for the

three-bedroom, 3.5-bathhomes will start at $1.5 mil-lion, with larger four-bed-room, 4.5-bath properties list-ing for as much as $4 million.That’s essentially the samerange L.M. Sandler planned.

According to the MonroeCounty Property Appraiser’sOffice, the Marlin Bay prop-erty had a combined 2013market value of $12.75 mil-lion. That’s $6.77 for com-mercial parcels and $5.98million for the housing units.

Bozarth gets 14 years in prison

Denise Bozarth was sen-tenced to 14 years in stateprison this week for the mur-der of her husband Edward,whose decomposing bodywas found wrapped in plasticand stuffed in the engineroom of his sailboat, theScrew U 2, in 2007.

Denise Bozarth pleadedguilty to second-degree mur-der on Tuesday, saidAssistant State AttorneyDemetrios Efstratiou. The

s e n t e n c emeted outby MonroeC o u n t yC i r c u i tCourt JudgeLuis Garciawas pro-posed afterconsulting

with Edward Bozarth’s twoadult children, he said.

“They were very satisfiedwith the results,” Efsratiousaid.

Denise Bozarth, 41, hasbeen in the Monroe Countyjail since she was arrested inMarch 2012 in DeFuniakSprings on a first-degree mur-der charge. Monroe Countydetectives suspected she wasEdward Bozarth’s killer from

the beginning, but it took fiveyears to gather enough evi-dence for an arrest warrant.

Denise’s friends told detec-tives that she had talked aboutkilling her husband, who was62 at the time of his death, inthe past. Detectives sayDenise expected to come into$650,000 that her husbandhad inherited from his mothershortly before he was killed.

The Screw U 2 wasdocked at Gilbert’s Marina inKey Largo. Bozarth’s bodywas found on a hot July nightby his marina neighbor, KeyLargo firefighter ChrisFleming, who boarded thevessel after noticing a foulsmell coming from the cabin.

Denise Bozarth confessedto both a Monroe County

Sheriff’s Office deputy and aFlorida Department of LawEnforcement agent on March15 that she bludgeoned herhusband to death.

But in January, the state’scase hit a roadblock afterGarcia threw out the confes-sion because transcripts ofthe interview revealedDenise Bozarth asked severaltimes to speak to a lawyerbefore admitting the murder.

The deputy and FDLEagent were obligated to stopthe interview immediatelythe first time Bozarth broughtup an attorney.

Efstratiou did not saywhether the confession’sinadmissibility was a factorin the plea deal.

EDITORIAL

Cutting wateraccess a bad idea

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Refocus on housingFor the past seven years, as part of

my 25-year commitment to secureadequate workforce housing for ourcommunity, I have felt very much likeI was crying out in the wilderness.

I felt this because politics is such acrisis-driven endeavor and becausethere has been an illusion that our pasthousing crisis had somehow goneaway and been solved by the reces-sion, and because our previous focuson housing needs for our working menand women had waned.

Over these recession years, I haveappeared before various commissions,

including Key West’s and the CountyCommission and state housing agen-cies, asking them not to be misled orlulled into thinking we had somehowwon the day on housing, to use fundsavailable to purchase land, to holdonto public land and continue to buildworkforce housing ahead of the com-ing recovery.

That, unfortunately, did not hap-pen. Soon, much-needed teachers,cops, managers, nurses and mid-leveland lower-level workers will not finda place to live in our communities.Families will leave, positions will gounfilled, services will deteriorate, etc.

We have seen this before but thistime will be worse, as large tracts ofland that could have been retained aredisappearing quickly in the recovery.We are going to have a limited time toget this right.

To not house our working peopleadequately as we approach build-outwill cause many hardships and a per-manent and scarring social crisis inour community that will affect every-one who calls this place home. Pleasejoin me in urging our leaders to refo-cus on the issue of workforce housing.

Public pays too muchI attended a Florida Keys Mosquito

Control District meeting last month.On the agenda was the item “update onposition and pay scale changes foremployee manual (Holden).”

One problem was the figures andcomparisons shown only covered othercounties, the city of Key West, KeysEnergy Services and the Florida KeysAqueduct Authority. What about acomparison of private and other publicsectors to give a complete picture?

As of May 2012, the Bureau ofLabor Statistics found that on average,workers employed by federal, state andlocal governments made more thanthose employed by the private sector,an average of $7,240 per year more.

In my findings of 2013, employersin private industry spent an average of$29.63 per employee hour worked, butthe equivalent cost for a governmentworker averaged $42.89 per hour.Government employees average 33percent higher pay than those in the pri-vate sector; their pension and retire-ment benefit costs are now an incredi-ble 254 percent higher.

Private vs. public jobs has com-pletely turned around. Private sectoralways made more money but hadfewer benefits. Public sector had thebenefits but less pay per hour. This isnot the case anymore. Salaries in thepublic sector are becoming excessivecompared to the private sector.

This observable fact is rampantthroughout Monroe County, KeysEnergy, the FKAA, the Key Largo

Wastewater Treatment District, policeand fire departments, state and federalagencies. It is widespread across theboard. How long can this continue?When are we going to put our footdown and say enough is enough?

Animals appreciate helpAt Florida Keys Wildlife Rescue,

we’ve met quite a few of our wildneighbors. It’s a long journey from res-cue to release for many of our seabirds(brown pelicans, herons, songbirds,other types of wildlife) that make it toour center each year.

We’ve come to their aid day andnight, 365 days of the year. We’ve fedthem when they were starving andgiven them medical care when theywere sick or injured. We’ve cared fortheir children until they were able tocare for themselves. We’ve released tothe wild those that regained health. Andwe’ve given the hopelessly damaged awarm, safe environment to enable themto die with respect and without pain.

For 13 years this has been the missionof our nonprofit organization. And withthe public’s help, we can continue to dothis important work. We thank everyonefor all they have done to help us weatherpast years, this year and future years tocome. We won’t say it has been easy, buteveryone has made it easier.

We welcome our dedicating volun-teers; they toil alongside us scrubbingdirty kennels or chopping scaly fish.Others leave their warm home to bring

us an injured animal. Some performemergency surgery or care for an ani-mal until we can get there, or donatesomething we desperately need.

It is our greatest pleasure toacknowledge everyone and thankthem, in the name of our feathered andfury friends.

Puto’s right for the jobIt seems as if the decision to put

Mike Puto in as temporary Marathoncity manager was a stroke of genius onsomeone’s part, ne’er I say a bit ofcommon sense in city government.

This is a city of what, 8,000 resi-dents? Do we really need to recruit acity manager from the outside to dealwith issues that are 90 percent local toMarathon? This job is not rocket sci-ence, but it is dealing with a uniqueway of life and sensitivity to those liv-ing on our small island.

Puto lives, breaths, sweats andbleeds Marathon and has alreadyshown the willingness to prune somedead wood. No doubt we will have avery different City Council comeNovember. Why not let this new coun-cil evaluate Puto’s performance andmake recommendations and hopefullyoffer the man a contract?

It’s been quite a while since the vibeemanating from City Hall has been“I’m happy. You happy?” I’m happy.

The reason behind the sheriff’saction is laudable but thereare better ways to handle problems

Citing rowdiness, trash and graffiti, the Monroe CountySheriff’s Office this month permanently blocked access toa boat launch on the Monroe County side of Card SoundRoad in North Key Largo, as well as three other spots withwater access from Card Sound (story, 1A).

We understand the thinking behind the decision,especially considering Sheriff Rick Ramsay’s proactiveand commendable policy of cleaning up areas that havebeen trashed due to garbage, spray paint and the like.

But we also believe the Card Sound action is exces-sive and could have been better handled simply withmore enforcement.

Increasingly, public water access for our residents andvisitors is being limited, though the causes differ in vari-ous areas. Free public boat ramps are nearing extinction.

In March, the state Department of EnvironmentalProtection closed four old Lower Keys bridges, citingstructural deficiencies. All were popular fishing spots,and now they’re off limits.

Both bridges from Ohio Key —- site of the season-ally crowded Sunshine Key RV Resort — were amongthe aging spans closed (mile markers 38.5 and 39). Theothers are the Little Duck Key-Missouri HistoricBridge, mile marker 39.5, and the Lower SugarloafChannel Bridge, mile marker 15.8.

At the time, James Millsaps, owner of Jig’s Bait andTackle on Big Pine Key, told us: “That’s not goodnews. Those are very popular bridges. I send peoplethere every day.”

It was in 2008 that the state Department ofTransportation closed the old Seven Mile Bridge tofishing, saying the anglers put too much weight on thespan, which is generally falling apart. Through anagreement with DOT, Monroe County and the city ofMarathon, the bridge will be rehabbed to the tune of $77million. No one has said if fishing on it will be allowedwhen it’s deemed safe.

DOT also shut access to Sea Oats Beach on LowerMatecumbe Key, bowing to residents’ concerns abouttrash left there by day-trippers from the mainland.

Closure of the old Lower Keys fishing spans and theold Seven Mile may very well be founded upon engi-neering reports saying they are not safe. And certainly,the people who live near Sea Oats Beach deserve not tohave their neighborhood turned into a trash pile.

But we believe closing the boat launch on CardSound Road and the three other water access pointsthere is unduly harsh, punishing the many for theactions of the few.

We believe Ramsay could have just as easilyincreased patrols in that area, perhaps even pulling theOcean Reef Club deputy (whose position is financed byOcean Reef residents) from that post for patrol of CardSound Road’s out-of-control areas. It’s not like OceanReef is a high-crime area — and the upscale develop-ment has its own private security force.

We urge the sheriff to reconsider his Card Sounddecision. Taking away more water access from ourresidents and visitors is the least-palatable option inthis case.

Senior housing eyed

A Key Largo senior-liv-ing project called ParadisePoint returns for more con-sideration by the MonroeCounty Planning Commis -sion on Tuesday.

After a five-hour meetingJan. 29, planning commis-sioners suspended considera-tion of Paradise Point untilthe status of open code-com-pliance cases at the propertynear mile marker 105.3 couldbe confirmed.

The Planning Commis -sion reconvenes at 10 a.m.Tuesday at the Murray E.Nelson Government andCultural Center at mile mark-er 102 on Key Largo.

The only unresolved codecase remaining on the 2

North Blackwater Lane prop-erty involves unpermittedoutdoor storage, county CodeCompliance Director RondaNorman said Thursday.

Many residents of thebayside Stillwright Pointsubdivision spoke out strong-ly against the proposedParadise Point, a three-storybuilding designed for 47 one-bedroom apartments andcommon areas.

Developers Gorman andCo. and 2 Blackwater LLC ofKey Largo say the projectprovides an affordable-hous-ing option for the elderly.Monroe County “needs moreaffordable housing, andwe’ve done a poor job of pro-viding it,” said project attor-ney Nicholas Mulick.

Applications to live atParadise Point cannot be lim-ited to current MonroeCounty residents.

Stillwright Points residentscontend that BlackwaterLane, the only entrance to

their 210-home communityfrom U.S. 1, already is con-gested with delivery and cus-tomer traffic from the nearbyWinn-Dixie store.

“That’s already a danger-ous intersection,” residentEmily Stewart said inJanuary. “It would be a trav-esty to see this happen.”

Two traffic engineers, onehired by each side, disagree onwhether the added traffic couldincrease the chances of acci-dents at the entrance to U.S. 1.

Planning commissionersare being asked to make arecommendation on whetherto issue a minor conditional-use permit for the site.Normally, county PlanningDirector Townsley Schwabcould decide that permit, butreferred it to the PlanningCommission because ofintense interest in the project.

Any decision by planningcommissioners could beappealed to the MonroeCounty Commission.

Mediator sides with union

Although the UnitedTeachers of Monroe gar-nered support Monday froma mediator presiding over acontract impasse with theMonroe County SchoolDistrict, final say on provi-sions of a one-year deal iswith elected School Board.

After a year of bargain-ing, mediation started March5 with a hearing in front ofScott Milinski from theNational Mediation Board.The contract in questioncovers the 2013-14 schoolyear, which is over in June.

There are two majorissues at stake:

� “Management rights”language that would allowthe board to impose unpaid

employee furlough days,which it did in 2011 and2012 to save $1.7 millioneach year and avoid layoffs.

� How to distribute $1.25million in raises for teachersand school-related personnellike bus drivers.

Milinski recommendsgetting rid of the furloughlanguage.

“The fundamental prob-lem on the managementrights issue is trust betweenthe parties,” Milinski wrotein his recommendation.“Anyone would be hesitantto sign off on a proposalwith the drafter of the lan-guage claiming that therights of the parties are notchanged. Why is the newlanguage necessary if itchanges nothing?”

“We have been asking allalong,” UTM President HollyHummell-Gorman said.“Why is the district’s man-agement rights language nec-essary if it changes nothing?”

School Board member

John Dick argues the lan-guage is necessary to avoidlayoffs and pointed out thatthe contract period covers, atmost, two months more ofschool for teachers.

“Are we going to impose

furlough days in the lastweek of school?” he asked.

On the raises front, thedistrict has proposed across-the-board $1,250 teacherraises and 2 percent raisesfor school-related personnel.Milinski recommends a$1,850 raise and agreed withthe 2 percent.

Dick reiterated thatregardless of the magis-trate’s recommendations, afinal decision is left up to theSchool Board.

Chef Jonathan Tibbs isbringing a taste of theNortheast to the MiddleKeys with his new eatery,the Chesapeake.

From steamed Marylandblue crab and crab bruschett,to crab dip and corn and crabchowder, the menu offersseveral dishes containingcrab that are popular up anddown the East Coast.

“I wanted to get theChesapeake style food to theKeys. There is nowhere youcan go and find a better crabcake than you will right here.Mine are 98 percent crab, withno filler at all,” Tibbs said.

Tibbs said he loves theKeys and its laid-back atmos-phere, but is aiming for amore “casual fine dining”

experience at the 150-seatrestaurant. It features 3,000square feet of indoor spaceand another 600-square-footoutdoor dining area.

Other menu items includesteak, pasta, fresh seafood,scallops and shrimp.

“Eighty percent of theseafood I have is all locallycaught. I don’t buy from bigconglomerates; I buy frommom-and-pop wholesalefishermen. I’m a big small-business guy,” Tibbs said.

Tibbs was born in Floridaand raised in Maryland. Itwas there his appreciation forfood was born.

“How I originally got mypassion for food was cookingwith my mom when I was akid. I pursued that and startedto fall in love with food andmaking good food,” he said.

In 2007, the 28-year-oldgraduated from Johnson &Wales University and for sev-eral years worked at restau-rants all over the U.S. He saidhe’s opened, developed orreorganized 13 restaurants.

“My specialty is food andcreative restaurant manage-ment. I use a lot of the toolsavailable in this day and age topromote a restaurant,” Tibbssaid, referring to social media.

Tibbs has been living inthe Key Largo area on andoff for three years andworked as a mate on fishingand diving boats during histime here.

In 2013, Tibbs and busi-ness partner AlejandroGuardiola met in the UpperKeys and began formulatingbusiness ideas. Guardiola, aMiami native, has a financialbackground, but gave that upto pursue business interests onthe mainland and in the Keys.

“I’ve been pursuing food,restaurant and businessopportunities,” he said. “Ilike good food and keepingpeople happy.”

The Chesapeake will beopen from 11 a.m. until 11p.m. every day. The restau-rant is at 11399 OverseasHighway oceanside.

Stephen Freer, owner ofan 81-foot tugboat called theTilly that sunk off Key Westaround Feb. 28, is due incourt April 28 for arraign-ment on a misdemeanorresource charge issued by theFlorida Fish and WildlifeConserva tion Com mission.

Freer, 66, bought the 150-ton tug off the Internet inJanuary for $8,000. His goalwas starting a “marine cooper-ative” in Cuba to escapeAmerica’s “evil empire.”

He and the boat got evictedfrom the Stock Island Village

Marina inF e b r u a r y.The vesselwas towedabout twomiles offKey Westnear themain ship-ping chan-

nel, where it sunk in about 30feet of water.

On March 12, FWCOfficer John Brown filedwhat’s called a resource vio-lation against Freer alleginghe violated state law that pro-hibits leaving a derelict ves-sel in public waters. It’s afirst-degree misdemeanorpunishable by up to a year injail, a $1,000 fine or both.

Freer missed an initialcourt date on March 28,which prompted Monroe

County Judge Wayne Millerto issue an arrest warrant.Freer showed up Wednesdayat the Freeman Justice Centernot clear on where to go andwhat to do; he was eventual-ly told of the warrant by acourthouse staffer.

Miller recalled the war-rant on Wednesday andscheduled arraignment for8:30 a.m. April 28.

The boat is now upright,sitting on sandy bottom nearwhere it sank.

With fewer than sixmonths to go before theNovember election and fewerthan four months before theprimary, the race for outgo-ing Florida Keys MosquitoControl Commissioner JackBridges’ District 5 seat is get-ting crowded.

Republican Key Largobusiness owner EddieMartinez, 39, filed to run for

the UpperKeys seat onM o n d a y .The Miaminative saidhe believeshe can“make a dif-ference.”

Martinezis the third candidate to file forthe seat. Also running areThomas McDonald, aRepublican, and Geoff Bailey,a Democrat. Bridges is runningfor the Group 4 Circuit Courtjudge seat.

District 2 Commis sionerPhil Goodman, a Republicanfrom Cudjoe Key, has filed torun for re-election. Gov. RickScott appointed him in May2010 after the death of then-Commissioner Dick Rudell.

Martinez said he workedfor Miami-based Zurwelle-Whittaker Surveyors andEngineers for numerous

years before purchasing thecompany. It’s still based therebut he moved his family tothe Keys.

“I’m from Miami but I’vebeen here two years and Ireally love this place. I havefour kids in the school sys-tem and I want to be aninvolved member of the com-munity,” he said.

Martinez said he’s begunresearching the district andplans to “stop by and look atthe Marathon operation andsee how it’s conducted.”

“I’m diving deep into it.For me as a candidate, I wantto know if the public is get-ting good value for what wepay in taxes,” he said. “I’vebeen reading the minutes ofthe meetings and looked attheir budget that they haveonline. I want to meet[Director Michael Doyle]and educate myself on theinner workings.”

As for Goodman, hesought appointment fouryears ago because of hischemical and business back-ground. He was president ofBoehme Filatex Inc. in NorthCarolina, which producedchemical products for the fin-ishing and fashion industry.

“I was really interested inMosquito Control and seeingas a citizen all the problems itwas having before. A lot of itwas financial and a lot of itwas chemical related,”Goodman said.

“I understood a lot aboutthe operational side ofMosquito Control. Being abusinessman, I understoodthe financial side and how tomake budgets,” he added.

Goodman said he viewsMosquito Control as a tech-nology-based organizationand aims to continue in thatdirection.

“I see Mosquito Control ata crossroads, moving from areally labor intensive opera-tion to more of a technology-based operation,” he said.“We’ve been able to continu-ally employ new technologyand utilize that in the place ofbrute labor force.”

him,” Marathon coach LuisLeal added.

The Canes sit at 7-1 andwere scheduled to finishtheir 10-game conferenceschedule with a doublehead-er Friday at Miami CountryDay. Results were not avail-able at press time.

Pierce finished with fivestrikeouts, three walks andone hit batter in a solid per-formance for the Dolphins.But the defense struggled,committing six errors.

“They just played betterthan we did. We made sixerrors, and they were routineplays we made mistakes on.You can’t give a good teamextra chances,” Leal said.

Marathon jumped out to a1-0 lead in the bottom of thefirst inning when seniorKevin McKeon walked toreach base and scored on aRaymond Crespo groundout.

� Jennifer Felicia Abadi’scookbook “A Fistful ofLentils” (Harvard CommonPress, $24.95) balances thetraditional recipes of herMiddle Eastern heritage withher training at professionalculinary school.

This is a celebration ofJewish-Syrian traditions sheshares with memorablepoignancy. There is a com-plete menu for the Syrian-style Passover seder, enlight-ening for those of us who arefamiliar only with the recipesof Eastern Europe. I was par-ticularly intrigued by theflourless pistachio cookiesflavored with orange water.

� Manischewitz has intro-duced a new Passover productline called Kitni, expandingbeyond its traditionalAshkenazi roots. Kitniyot is acategory of food acceptablefor Sephardic Jews to con-sume during Passover, includ-ing beans, corn and rice.

There are new conven-ience foods for Passover as

well, including an almondpecan granola made withwhole grain wheat matzo,almonds, pecans, dried cran-berries and coconut ($4.99).

CHANGING LIVES

We fund carefully selected programs that provide critical services to our Keys community, like the food pantry at KAIR - Keys Area Interdenominational Resources - in Marathon. Lloyd is a KAIR client.

When Lloyd first started coming to KAIR for food, he weighed 230 lbs with uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure. He lamented the fact that he could not afford to eat “right”. KAIR worked with him to provide him with fresh lean meats and fish and fresh vegetables. He is now so proud of himself. His diabetes is under control and he weighs 168 lbs.

Thanks to United Way, KAIR was able to purchase a refrigerated van that picks up donated food needing refrigeration. When hungry kids come to the KAIR pantry, a staffer says, “they are not patient. They immediately open the bags of food to peek inside. They squeal when they see all of the food. You would think it was Christmas morning!”

Jenkins immortalizedin funny ‘Souvenir’

Audiences can take homea souvenir of laughter afterseeing the WaterfrontPlayhouse’s latest production.

The theater at 310 WallSt. at Mallory Square in KeyWest is staging the touchingbut comedic “Souvenir” byStephen Temperley.

Actually called “Souvenir:A Fantasia on the Life ofFlorence Foster Jenkins,” theplays is about a real socialitenamed Florence FosterJenkins (1868-1944) whowas an amateur opera singer.She truly believed she was afantastic soprano.

Just one problem: Shewas tone deaf and had nosense of rhythm. But thatdidn’t stop her from perform-ing in sold-out concerts inthe 1930s and early 1940s infront of audiences that mar-veled at her audacity — andlaughed at and ridiculed her.

Gayla D. Morgan (“DirtyRotten Scoundrels,”“Spelling Bee”) stars as thedeluded diva. CharlesLindberg (who’s been innumerous Waterfront con-certs and musicals) portraysher long-time accompanist,Cosme McMoon.

Set designer MichaelBoyer created the settings ofFlo’s salon and various recitalhalls. David Bird is in chargeof lighting, Leigh Hooten is

the costumer and AnnieMiners manages the stage.

The show goes throughApril 19, with curtain goingup at 8 p.m. Tickets rangefrom $20 to $50 (variousprices for students, seniors, themilitary). To find out more,call 294-5015 or go to www.waterfrontplayhouse.org.

It’s true story of diva whocouldn’t sing

‘Captain America’hits it out of park

“Captain America: TheWinter Soldier,” rated PG-13, 136 minutes, playing inTavernier.

The first “CaptainAmerica” film in 2011introduced us to SteveRogers, the prototypical 98-pound weakling from thoseold Charles Atlas comic-book ads who is trans-formed into a super human.

“Captain America: TheWinter Soldier” is the sec-ond installment in this seg-ment of Marvel’s band ofcomic-book heroes.

Marvel seems to havetaken overHolly -wood andthe nearly25 minutesof pre-views aredominatedby upcom-ing filmadapta-tions of

other stories from theMarvel world of super-heroes and mutants. Butonce the previews end,viewers are in for a treat.This film is one of thoserare Hollywood movies —a sequel that is actually bet-ter than the original.

The story: Rogers/Captain America is work-ing for spy agencyS.H.I.E.L.D. while trying toadapt to the modern world.He learns there is a secretgroup called HYDRA oper-ating within S.H.I.E.L.D.

HYDRA is a Nazi pro-gram from World War IIthat has developed a com-puter algorithm that identi-fies potential enemies, andHYDRA plans to use it toeliminate those threats.The death toll could be ashigh as 20,000,000 people

and Captain America, withthe aid of some other superhumans, must stop the evil plan.

But HYDRA has a mys-terious superman of its own,the Winter Soldier, who hasbeen brought back from thedead. After numerous realand computer-generatedskirmishes, viewers knowthat the dramatic finalshowdown will be betweenthe two supermen.

The frequent computer-generated fight scenes arestandard stuff and viewersmust suspend their disbeliefas Captain America leaps,twirls, jumps and dives hisway through fight afterfight with hardly a scratch.

Residents of Cleveland,where the movie wasfilmed, might recognizebuildings and landmarks,many of which are“destroyed” in the gunfights,explosions and epic battlesbetween the secret agencies.

Chris Evans plays Capand his good looks and chis-eled body suit him well asthe enhanced human speci-men that is Captain America.The always-watchableScarlett Johansson returns asthe Black Widow, a.k.a.Natasha Romanoff, who mayor may not be trustworthy.

Also returning is SamuelL. Jackson as Nick Fury, thehead of S.H.I.E.L.D. whoseems to have more livesthan a cat. Sebastian Stancomes back in the characterof Bucky Barnes, Rogers’best friend back in the day.

A new character appearsin the form of an agingRobert Redford, playingcocky senior S.H.I.E.L.D.official Alexander Pierce.Anthony Mackie is SamWilson, another old friendwho sticks with Capthrough thick and thin.

Rounding out the maincast are Cobie Smulders(“How I Met Your Mother,”“The Avengers”) as agent

MOVIE REVIEW

Craig Wanous

KeysFilm


Director and Key Westnative Quincy Perkins wasscouting locations inHomestead for his shortfilm “SwingersAnonymous” when he cameupon a large field withbrightly colored busesparked along an access roadand Haitian workers fever-ishly harvesting the crop byhand, row by row.

“This was the shot Iwanted,” Perkins said. “Andthe 200 extras would begreat.”

But to secure permission,he had to convince the fieldboss sitting inside the 2014Chevy Silverado that hewas not an undercoverimmigration agent.

Perkins, 33 and still boy-ish-looking, got his fieldscene with a story of hisown: “I said I was a studentat the University of Miamimaking a film.”

A few weeks later, on asunny Wednesday morningin March, Perkins arrived ata field of green beans thatsoon would be filled withfarm workers overseen bythe man in the ChevySilverado.

This time Perkinsbrought a small productioncrew, writer JonathanWoods and the usuallyclean-cut actor Tom Frank,who, after months of notshaving for the part, lookedlike a cross between ahomeless Jesus and a mem-ber of the Duck Dynasty.

“Here we go,” Woodssaid with excitement as thefirst scene was shot — andthe written story conceivedfrom his warped imagina-tion was being transformedby Perkins into a cinematic,black-and-white film noirwith a twisted sense ofhumor.

“Swingers Anonymous”tells the story of Frank’scharacter Bill, an ordinaryman who goes to a swingers

party at the home of thenewest member, big-bustedPauline, and ends up inher-iting a gigantic problem:Two dead bodies and$20,000 in drug money.

Bill does not handle thisproblem well. His lifequickly spirals out of con-trol, albeit humorously, withthe femme fatale’s breaststaking on a life of theirown.

“It’s a story I relate toEdgar Allan Poe’s ‘TheTell-Tale Heart,’ with thecharacter never quite gettingaway with a crime,” Perkinssaid. “Even if you maycover all your bases, youmight not cover your psy-chological base. That’s thehardest one to bury.”

This is the third collabo-ration between Perkins, aself-taught director who has

worked on severalHollywood feature films,and Woods, 66, a Key Westresident who a decade agoleft his job in Dallas as aglobe-trotting attorney for ahigh-tech company to pur-sue his lifelong passion offiction writing.

Their first project togeth-er was a two-minute trailerfor Wood’s second book, “ADeath in Mexico.” It turnedout so well that they collab-orated again last spring inKey West during the TropicCinema’s 72-hour film chal-lenge, in which they createdan eight-minute moviecalled “Assbackwards.”

“The premise was thegay world was normal andthe heterosexual world wasoutlawed,” said Woods,who wrote the script.

The film, which opens in

front of the Monroe Countycourthouse with peopleprotesting heterosexuals,includes a hilarious scene ata secret meeting for hetero-sexuals who were in thecloset to friends and family.

“It was very ambitiousfor the short time we had,”Perkins said. But it waswell received, and chosen tobe shown at the Key WestInternational Film Festival.

For their third collabora-tion, Woods suggested hisnew 20-page short story“Swingers Anonymous,”which was published inNovember by AkashicBooks as part of the DallasNoir anthology and alsowill be in Wood’s newbook, “The Phone Call fromHell & Other Tales of theDamned,” being publishedby New Pulp Press this

month.“I thought it was very

visual and just a great littleplot, too,” Perkins said. “Ithought it also was manage-able, as opposed to some-thing that has lots of gun-shots and explosions. ... SoI said, ‘Let’s try this.’ “

To raise the majority ofwhat turned out to be a$15,000 film budget, theyused the websiteKickstarter, netting $11,300from backers as far away asCanada. When a deal fellthrough with a Miami com-pany that supports inde-pendent filmmakers to pro-vide matching funds andproduce the film, Perkinsreluctantly halted produc-tion in February.

He asked his cinematog-rapher, Jonathan Franklin,for suggestions for a newproducer. They landed free-lancer Peter Ebanks, who inturn got the Miami-basedFlorida Film House to pro-vide production help and artdirection.

“Usually movie sets runabout 150 people, but we’redoing this entire thing withcloser to 15,” Ebanks said.“This one we’re going a lit-tle bit gorilla. We’re a smallcrew with people wearingmultiple hats.”

With money short,Perkins and Woods kickedin the rest themselves.Woods joked that his wifewould let him contributeonly if Miss Pinky, theirShih Tzu, would get acameo. She did.

The 42-scene film wasshot at eight locations inand around Homestead.

Now they are taking therough footage and puttingtogether an assembly cutand a trailer. They also areback on Kickstarter to raiseanother $8,000 or so for thepost production, which willinclude special effects,sound and rights to themusic for the soundtrack.

Maria Hill, Toby Jones(“The Hunger Games,“Muppets Most Wanted “)as evil Dr. Zola, EmilyVanKamp (“Revenge,”“Lost and Delirious”) asKate and Frank Grillo (“TheGrey,” “End of Watch”) asBrock Rumlow. And ofcourse, Stan Lee can’t resistmaking his usual cameo, thistime as a museum guard.

The actors are believableand do a good job, especial-ly when you realize thatmost of their work was witha green screen, having topicture what the rest of thescene would look like.Mackie, even after donninghis Falcon wings, stands outas the most convincing.

The action is so fast thatviewers won’t be distractedenough about the computer-generated work to care.

The directing team ofbrothers Anthony and JoeRusso (“ArrestedDevelopment,” “You, Meand Dupree”), along withscreenwriters ChristopherMarkus and StephenMcFeely (“The Chronicles ofNarnia,” “Thor: The DarkWorld”) have put together aterrific film that holds togeth-er well and rarely drags.

They cleverly pay homageto spy/conspiracy movies ofthe past, with several tongue-

in-cheek references sprinkledthroughout the dialogue.

“Captain America: TheWinter Soldier” is filledwith slam-bang action, well-timed humor, characters thatcome alive and a plot thathas enough twists and turnsto please even the most fer-vent conspiracy theorist.

And don’t leave tooearly; the end credits con-tain some surprises.

Fans of Captain Americaand Marvel comics arealready looking forward tothe third installment, due outin 2016. But until then,Marvel fan or not, mostviewers will enjoy thisthrilling adventure.

THE FLORIDA KEYS

The Goliath grouper had to weighmore than 400 pounds and was a new-comer to the A&B Marina dock in KeyWest. Our charter vessel Premium Timehad just returned after a morning trip.

Capt. Seth Hopp was cleaning thecatch, which sparked the oversized

Goliath’s interest. Capt.Jay Miller and his mateCory Robinson wereprepping the OuterLimits, which wasdocked next to our boat,for their afternoon char-ter when they, too,noticed the largegrouper. That’s whenMiller started telling thestory of how he had

taken clients on successful Goliathgrouper hand-lining charters in the past.

A Goliath grouper hand-lining char-ter? That’s also when I knew it wasshowtime.

Miller reached into the bait freezer,grabbed a full-sized bonito and tail-wrapped it with a short piece of trap line.The dock audience started to take noticeof the show that was about to begin. Thedock culture that surrounds our Key Westslip resembles a salty Mallory Square atsunset, except our entertainers have gillsand feathers.

As Miller dropped the whole bonito

between the Outer Limits and the PremiumTime, all the spectators on the dock wereshooting smart-phone videos and takingposition to record the tug of war.

The frozen bonito slowly descendedinto the crystal-clear water, landingdirectly on the head of the big fish. Witha small adjustment using its pectoral fins,the Goliath grouper moved into position.

With a mighty draw from deep within,he sucked the bonito into his mouth andturned to finish his prize below the hullsof the fleet and away from the crowd.Miller braced himself against the gunneland pulled against the grouper with everybit of his 6-foot-8, 300-pound frame,causing the Goliath to resist.

With a mighty tail kick from thegrouper, the front row of the dock crowd,me and the crew from our morning tripwere covered by the Goliath’s wave ofsalt. No one was left dry and everyoneenjoyed the surprise. The laughter wasreal. Miller looked into my camera andsaid, “Don’t try this at home, folks!”He’s a true showman.

As the crowd dispersed it becameclear the show was over. Our dock timeat the A&B Marina has a Key West carni-val atmosphere loaded with charactersthat aren’t afraid of much and love toentertain. The crowd was pleased by theman vs. beast show pieced together infewer than three minutes, and likely willhave that memory for a long time.
