Rice: Buses are at ‘capacity’The Florida Keys’
tourism-based economycould suffer if resort andrestaurant employees can’tget to work, county officialssaid this week.
A large percentage ofemployees in the Keys hospi-
tality industry depends on busservice from Florida City —a system that could be hittingmaximum capacity, MonroeCounty Commissioner DavidRice said.
Restaurants and resorts“need additional employeesnow that they cannot hirebecause the buses are run-ning at capacity,” Rice said.“People get to the [Florida
City pickup] hours earlybecause if they don’t, theydon’t get a seat.”
With estimated 900 newhotel rooms expected to soonopen in the Middle Keys andKey West, the employeeshortage could turn into a
“crisis,” he said.The Dade-Monroe Express
bus route run by AmericanCoach Lines from Florida Cityto the Upper Keys andMarathon is subsidized by theMiami-Dade Transit system.
Cost of funding the sys-
tem, established to provideemployment opportunities forMiami-Dade residents, wasnot available from Miami-Dade Transit at press time.
Seventeen buses leaveFlorida City on daily roundtrips, with six buses going asfar as Marathon. Riders pay$2.35 both coming andgoing. Buses run from 5:15a.m. to 1:20 a.m.
In the most recent figuresavailable, a 2011 MonroeCounty Mass Transit reportshowed 235,167 rider-tripsannually between FloridaCity and Marathon.

FIRM stilllooking forhomes to study
You can’t blame Keys res-idents for being nervousabout allowing their homesto be inspected for a studyfinanced by state-run insurerof last resort CitizensProperty Insurance Corp.
But Heather Carruthers, aMonroe County commission-er and president of the grass-roots group Fair InsuranceRates in Monroe, says thereis nothing to lose and every-thing to gain by agreeing totake part.
“The bottom line is don’tbe afraid. This can only ben-efit you. It takes an hour anda half of your time,” she said.
Michael Peltier, spokes -man for Citizens, said thatas of March 31, the compa-ny held 23,808 MonroeCounty policies.
FIRM is entering the sec-ond phase of a $485,000project aimed at studyingwindstorm risks and insur-ance rates in the Keys. Thegoal is lower Keys insurancerates for property ownersbecause FIRM and others sayoverall, Monroe County paysfar more into Citizens thanresidents and businessreceive in claims.

Marathon places2nd in brain game
A first-ever MonroeCounty title was not goodenough for the six-memberCommissioner’s AcademicChallenge team fromMarathon High School.
After besting rival CoralShores and Key West highschools in Feb. 4’s local roundof the annual competition, theDolphins on April 12 placedsecond in the state among 20smaller Division 3 schools.
Reef Landrum, SharonRodriguez, Collin Marrs,John Galjanic, Seth Landryand Carlos O’Farrill bestedDeSoto County by one point(154-153) to take secondbehind Division 3 championSuwannee County.
“It was very much a teameffort because every singleone of the six of them con-tributed,” coach Lyn Cox said.
The three divisions arebased on school enrollment
statistics provided by the stateDepartment of Education.Created in 1986, the competi-tion was held at DisneyWorld’s Contemporary Resortin Lake Buena Vista.
“To get there, you have towin your district academicchallenge competition. Inrecent memory, this is thefirst time Marathon HighSchool has gone,” Cox said.
Each team consists of sixmembers (four active andtwo alternates) and a coach.Questions written by Floridateachers focus on languagearts, math, science, socialstudies, the fine arts, worldlanguages and technology.
Marathon placed secondin its four-team quarterfinalmatch to advance and won itsfive-team semifinal beforeadvancing to the six-teamchampionship round.
Rodriguez said it was “abit nerve-racking at times.”
“It was a lot of fun to dothis. We met two to threetimes each week to prepareand had teachers come in andhelp us with math or art his-tory,” she said.

Pot washes ashore at naval base
Usually when the U.S.Coast Guard gets a drughaul, it’s on the high seasafter chasing a go-fast boat.
Saturday — a day before4/20, considered a holiday
by stoners — the drugsmade it much easier: Twobales of marijuana totaling46.2 pounds washed up atthe beach at Coast GuardSector Key West’s TrumanAnnex base.
City police officer ToddStevens was called to thebase in the morning and anNAS police officer showedhim a pair of packages,
apparently originally onethat had split into two, onthe beach, Stevens wrote ina report. Both pieces of thepackage had “canvassingpackaging material clingingto the pieces.”
While Stevens was test-ing the contents to see if itwas marijuana — it was —the NAS officer got a callabout another package on
the same beach. The secondbundle was nestled in sea-weed and wrapped withtape. It, too, tested positivefor containing marijuana.
Overall, the first package(the two pieces combined)was 33.8 pounds and thesecond one was 12.4pounds. No one has comeforward to claim them.

Man falls off boat, cut by prop
A boat passenger hit by apropeller after falling over-board tried to run from res-cuers Sunday, the FloridaFish and Wildlife Conser -vation Commission reports.
A 20-foot HydraSportoperated by owner Derek E.Locke, 24, of Key Largowas leaving the Sandbaranchoring spot, off WhaleHarbor Channel in Isla -
morada, around 4 p.m.The passenger, Raymond
K. Shontere, 27, “went tothe back of the vessel to geta beer from the cooler,” saidOfficer Bobby Dube, anFWC spokesman. WhenLocke put the single-engineboat in gear, Shontere tum-bled off the stern.
“The victim was cut sev-eral times on his left arm bythe vessel propeller,” Dubesaid. He was helped backonto the boat, then Lockeraced toward shore.
Marine patrol DeputyNelson Sanchez of theMonroe County Sheriff’sOffice stopped Locke’s boat
for speeding through an idle-speed zone near the FWC’sWhale Harbor substation.Sanchez then called for anambulance and took the mento the FWC’s docks.
“While at the FWCsubstation, [Shontere] ranoff into a wooded areabefore EMS arrived,”Dube related. “Officersretrieved the injured vic-tim after a short chase.”
Shontere was taken toMariners Hospital for treat-ment and held for his ownprotection. His condition andhometown were not avail-able at press time. Locke wascharged with boating underthe influence and bookedinto the county jail.

Those inspections — at nocost to residents — are beingconducted by Marathon-based Solaria Design &Consulting. All inspectors arebonded and insured.
“Overall, we need tocomplete 704 inspections inorder for the statistics to bevalid,” Carruthers said.
They’re a long way off;only four inspections havebeen completed. There areanother 50 scheduled, butCarruthers said “we have along way to go.”
“People may not under-
stand how important this is,”she said. “First they get theirown report to understandhow strong their home is andpossibly work with theirinsurance company on somemitigation credits.”
“I think people have acouple of different concernsthat [the inspection] is goingto be released to [the FederalEmergency ManagementAgency] or if they’ve doneunpermitted work, they’ll getin trouble,” Carruthers said.
Not the case, as specificinformation about specificbuildings will not be includ-ed in the final study sent to Citizens.
At last week’s CountyCommission meeting in KeyWest, Carruthers said thestudy lacks Middle and UpperKeys respondents. FIRMsends out letters seeking inter-est and participants are cho-sen by random selection.
“A lot of insurance value isoutside of Key West,” she said.
The last phase of thethree-pronged study wouldbe for a risk managementfirm to use data collected bySolaria to conduct a natural-catastrophe risk analysis.FIRM has yet to hire a com-pany for that.

Doyle getting extension
Florida Keys MosquitoControl District DirectorMichael Doyle is set toremain at the districtthrough at least July 2015.
The Mosquito ControlBoard didn’t finalize anextension for Doyle at itsApril 16 meeting, but theconsensus was to keephim on after his originalthree-year contract expireson July 25.
“That was the consen-sus, to renew for a year, andthey have the option to goto a three-year contract ifthey wish and they’ll voteon that at the May meet-ing,” Doyle said.
Doyle’sinitial con-t r a c tincludes aprovisionfor auto-matic one-y e a rrenewalsfollowing
the three-year term, but theboard discussed the possi-bility of Doyle inkinganother three-year deal. Itput a decision off to clear upcontract language concernswith district attorneys.
Doyle took over forlongtime Director EdFussell in July 2010. Hiscontract expires in July. Hissalary is $132,400 annually.
Last month, the com-mission finalized alengthy 87-question jobreview for Doyle.
Doyle received largelyhigh marks, outside ofCommissioner Bill Shaw,
who rated his performance“unacceptable” on themajority of questions. Shawdid not speak out against acontract extension.
In other business, theboard discussed rentingspace at its 107th Streetoffice to the MonroeCounty Supervisor ofElections Office.
Chairman Steve Smithsaid he talked about it withElections Supervisor JoyceGriffin, who has beenlooking for a new spot inMarathon because, shesays, the elections office atthe Monroe County-ownedMarathon GovernmentCenter Annex on 63rdStreet is too small.
Griffin is looking at sec-ond-floor office space at theMosquito Control buildingon 107th Street. The districtrecently paid more than$100,000 recently to haveeight offices constructed.

Doyle receives$32K payment
Drinks are on FloridaKeys Mosquito ControlDistrict Director MichaelDoyle this Friday.
The district’s top admin-istrator is set to receive$32,721 in this week’s pay-check thanks to a clause inhis contract allowing hissalaried position to accruevacation hours, compensa-tory time and sick leave.
Doyle offered to “wipethe slate clean” by donatingthe time back to the district,but the commission shot himdown April 16 and elected tofork over the cash. The votewas 4-1, with CommissionerPhil Goodman dissenting.
The district cut a checkfor roughly $71,000 to long-time Director Ed Fussellwhen he retired in January2011. Doyle replaced him.
He’s on call 24 hours aday and commonly worksmore than 40 hours weekly.The amount owed piled upquickly on Doyle’s$132,400 annual salary.
District ComptrollerBruce Holden said Doylehad accumulated 276 vaca-tion hours and the maximum240 hours of comp timesince being hired. He’s actu-ally lost 362 hours of comptime since reaching the limit
and donated another 215hours to employees.
The topic of paid vaca-tion and leave time arose asthe commission discussedrenewing Doyle’s contract.His original three-year dealexpires on July 25.
Commissioner JackBridges, a self-proclaimedfiscal conservative, said hefelt the need to honor thecontract language. Heacknowledged he wouldlikely “take a hit” for that.
“The district has a posi-tive image and we promotethat by doing the right thing.In this situation, you signeda contract that allows this. Iappreciate your willingnessto sacrifice $30,000 for dis-trict image, but I don’t thinkit’s right to do that,” he said.
Commissioner JillCranney-Gage said likewise,arguing that the districtshouldn’t “take what he’salready earned.”
“This is time he’s alreadyearned, already lost, alreadygave away. As far as whathe’s got on the booksalready, that’s his,” she said.
Holden said the payoutwould be added to Doyle’spaycheck this week.
Moving forward, theboard voted to eliminatepaid vacation, sick leave andcomp time for its directors.Doyle is free to take vaca-tion, but won’t accumulatehours toward it as otheremployees do.

City starts ‘work plan’
The Key West CityCommission meets tonight todiscuss a “work plan” for fis-cal year 2014-15, whichstarts Oct. 1.
City Manager Bob Vitasdescribes it as a “manage-ment tool that is compiled onan annual basis [and] allowsfor city management to mon-itor all major programs andprojects in each department.”
He said the goal is to tietogether the city’s strategicplan, City Commission priori-ties, five-year capital improve-ment plan and annual budget.
The big-ticket item is the$20 million Phase 1 develop-ment of the 33-acre TrumanWaterfront park, in the workssince the U.S. Navy gave theproperty to the city in 2002.
Phase 1 is constructionof basic infrastructure —roads and utilities, boat-ramp improvements, instal-lation of the Merili McCoyPublic Gardens, a water-front promenade, play-ground and bathrooms.
The total project, includinga community center, maritimemuseum and amphitheater, isexpected to cost between $40
million and $50 million andbe completed in 2020, accord-ing to the work plan.
The Utilities Departmentis scheduled between nowand March 2015 to completemore than $8 million in stormwater drainageimprove ments, particularly inthe flood-prone Front Streetand George Street areas.
In the City Clerk’s Office,the work plan details effortsto convert archived recordsto a searchable digital formatexpected to cost $75,000.
The work plan includesmore abstract goals that donot have specific fundingrequirements. For instance, a“complete inventory ofaffordable rental units andcity-owned property suitablefor development of afford-able housing.”
This issue comes up at thecommission-level cyclically,with the latest emphasis com-ing from City CommissionerTony Yaniz.
Tonight’s workshop startsat 6 p.m. in Old City Hall onGreene Street and will be tele-cast on Comcast Channel 77.Links to a webcast and back-up materials are available atwww.keywestcity.com.

Board yells ‘cut’ on tax credit
Florida Keys residentspay to go to the movies butMonroe County commis-sioners seem dubious aboutpaying the movies to cometo the Keys.
Bills pending in theFlorida Legislature tie aproposed $300 millionpackage of state tax-creditincentives for televisionand film production to anew mandate for countiesto help pay for the program.
Given the county’s lowunemployment rate (3.8percent in March), CountyCommissioner GeorgeNeugent said, “I find it hardto understand why wewould pay anybody tocome in here.”
If approved, should amovie or television seriesfilming primarily in theKeys — or any Floridacounty — qualify for themaximum state incentive of$8 million, that countywould have to pay 10 per-cent, or $800,000.
Netflix is in the middle offilming a 13-episode seriesin the Keys, and its produc-ers say each episode costsabout $8 million to create.
“I would fight the 10 per-
cent,” Tourist DevelopmentCouncil Executive DirectorHarold Wheeler told thecommission at an April 16meeting. “Everybody wantsthe incentive program but Idon’t know where youwould find those dollars.”
Legislative bills wouldextend the state’s financialincentive program for Floridaproduction, allocating $50million annually in tax creditsannually for six years.
That program, backedby Floridians working inthe film industry, would bepartially supported bycounties where most workon a production occurs.
Florida lawmakers are“shifting [program] fundingaway from the state to thecounty,” said CommissionerHeather Carruthers.
Film subsidies or otherincentives have becomehugely important in luringproductions to locationsoutside California, saidFlorida Keys and Key WestFilm Commission directorRita Troxel.
“Production companiesdon’t come here becauseit’s so fabulous to be hereand so beautiful,” Troxeltold commissioners.
“If they’re looking for taxcredits, they’ll be happy tocross out ‘Key West’ and put‘New Orleans.’ That’s justthe reality of it,” she said.
If the incentive bill pass-es, Monroe County coulddecline to participate butproductions would not
qualify for state tax credits.“If the county is not
going to play, [producers]will say sorry and go findanother county to film in,”Troxel said. “There is a lotof competition.”
Under Florida’s program,eligible productions canrecoup up to 30 percent ofthe money spent directly onin-state filming (not includ-ing money paid to non-stateresidents) in the form of taxcredits. Typically, thosecredits can be sold to Floridaindividuals or companieswho use them to reduce theirstate tax bill.
Few details have emergedon how the local contributionwould be assessed. Wheelerdescribed it as a case of “passthe bill and work it out later.”
“The film industry wantsthis incentive and they don’tcare where they moneycomes from,” he said.
Commissioner DavidRice noted entertainmentproduction “has beenimportant has been impor-tant to Monroe County inthe past.” Money from the1993 filming of the movie“True Lies” largely restoredthe historic compound onPigeon Key, he said.
Commissioners toldstaff to relay opposition tothe demand for local con-tributions to the county’slobbyists.
If the county does have topay, Commissioner DannyKolhage wondered, “Do weget script approval?”

Judy Hull, executivedirector of the IslamoradaChamber of Commerce,said the situation is similarat other local resorts.
“We know our workforceis riding the buses,” Hull said.“They are very necessary.”
At the April 16 meeting of
the Monroe County Commis -sion in Key West, Rice urgedthe creation of a committee tolook at the “workforce trans-portation” issue.
“With all the hotel unitsopening up in the next year,we better get a grip onwhat’s happening,” he said.
Monroe County does notcontribute to the bus systemfrom South Dade. And in2010, Monroe turned down aMiami-Dade request thatMonroe contribute $700,000to the service annually.
County Mayor SylviaMurphy said private jitneysbrought Miami-Dade resi-

“If the buses stoppedrunning tomorrow, those jit-neys would be back in busi-ness,” she said.

Rodriguez said everyteam struggled with art histo-ry, but Marathon is lookingto improve there next year.“We knew none of the arthistory questions and most ofus are planning to take AP arthistory next year just so wehave an edge,” she said.
The kids met three times aweek to practice for the com-petition, but Marrs said it wasstill difficult to know whattopics on which to focus.
“Until this year, we hadn’tmade it to states yet. Wethought the questions wouldbe like those at districts, butwe learned that each round weprogressed, each question washarder and harder,” he said.
Marrs, who competes onthe Dolphin swim team,said the camaraderie was awelcome change from ath-letics. “It was surprisinglyfriendly with the people,”he said. “There was lots ofwarm hearts.”
Disney World allowed thekids free entry into its parksduring the competitionweekend, but Cox said thetrip was still expensive.Businesses and individualscontributed $250 or $500 tofoot the bill.
In addition, Cox said theKey West High AcademicChallenge team raised anddonated $1,000 toward their
rival’s trip to Orlando.She said she drove five of
the team members toOrlando. The kids spent thetime practicing by looking atartwork and listening to clas-sical music. Missing wasO’Farrill, a standout baseballplayer who played in a homegame the night before theopening round.
“Talk about dedication,”
Cox said, “his parents drovehim up at 3 a.m. that morning.”
Cox said the experiencehas inspired all six players tofurther their studies and makea trip back to states in 2015.
“All the kids are amongthe top students of theirrespective classes,” she said.“They’ll all be back and arelooking forward to going to states.”

Fire seems controlled
A wildfire that has inter-mittently closed Card SoundRoad in North Key Largosince Saturday had mostlyabated Tuesday, but the dangerof it flaring back up remains.
“I got hot spots all outhere that could flare up andcome back to life,” GaryLewis, Monroe and Miami-Dade supervisor for the
Florida Forest Service, saidfrom the scene. “Right now,the fire is burning theAustralian pine. The smokeis going away from the road.If the wind stays the way it is,it’ll stay away.”
The first report of the firecame in about 4 p.m.Saturday. Card Sound wasfirst closed Sunday fromabout 2:30 to 10 p.m., thenclosed again Monday after-noon and reopened that night.
Tuesday, Lewis said theflames were mostly confined tothe area near the Cemexcement plant at 15900 SW408th St., closer to Florida City
than the Monroe County line.“Today I have one spot
that’s burning pretty hot nearthe road. It’s starting to movecloser to Florida City, by theCemex plant,” Lewis said.
There were two concerns,Lewis said.
“When you get a fire likethis, you get the traffic goingand everyone is looking atthe fire and taking pictures,”clogging traffic. Also, “I getmy equipment in there, myequipment will get in thereand then it hits a big oldmuddy patch, and it’s stuck.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dogs need to runThank you for publishing the story
about the area behind Marathon CityHall that serves as an unofficial dogpark. I’d like to share a few moredetails with your readers.
There is a group of citizens that hasused this property without incident forseveral years. Some report playing therewith their pooches for more than 10years, long before the lot was clearedand it became home to City Hall, longbefore the city accepted a grant to trans-form the property into Oceanfront Park,long before development plans werediscussed that eliminate the only citi-zens who frequented this parcel of landbefore money was involved.
There can be upward of 25 caninelovers playing with their companionson any given day. The dogs havebecome like family to each other. Theyseldom even bicker. To see this manyfour-legged creatures play togetherwithout threatening each other is a les-son for the entire human race. Theychase balls, run together and drinkwater out of the community bowlstogether. Their joy is contagious —uplifting in its purity.
Animals need proper exercise. Andin this tightly packed community,ample space does not exist in most res-idential areas.
The official dog park leaves muchto be desired. It’s filthy and infestedwith fleas and tics. There is nothingthere to stimulate the dogs. The unof-ficial park has iguanas, crabs, rocksand other wonders of nature to excitetheir sight and smell.
The lot behind City Hall served our
purpose well. But we saw the transfor-mations taking place and wanted toknow what that meant for us. We wereencouraged to attend a council meetingso our needs could be considered indevelopment plans.
Council members appeared to beinterested in our concerns. But the nextday, we were told we weren’t wantedthere any longer. We could bring ourdogs as long as they were on a leash, butit’s pretty hard to play ball that way. Theleash law was being enforced after 10years of allowing untethered playtime.
The homeless who have taken up
camp there are permitted to stay. Theiractions are not illegal. But the dogs,who aren’t hitting up park visitors formoney or leaving garbage behind, areno longer welcome.
Very few undeveloped parcels ofland remain on this island. We alreadyhave enough recreational parks for sucha small island. There was absolutely noreason to disturb one of the few remain-ing natural pieces of paradise, especial-ly at the expense of those who respectand recognize it as such.

ACA opponent’s correctReading through the letters that you
published concerning the AffordableCare Act, James Pettorini’s letter is farsuperior in substance, fact and elo-quence than those of his detractors.
Mr. Pettorini factually states his dis-agreement with the ACA in a reasonedand measured tone. He does not exhib-it the emotionally charged defensive-ness and aggression contained in theletters written by his critics, BeauBennett and John Crocker.
It’s unfortunate that Mr. Bennett andMr. Crocker are unable to address thosewho disagree with them in an intelli-gent and respectful manner. It’s so typ-ical for Obama’s minions to resort toname-calling and disparaging com-ments, rather than engaging those witha dissenting perspective, in a rationaland constructive manner.
It appears that Mr. Bennett and Mr.Crocker prefer to ramble on with theirown ideology, as though it were gospeltruth, while dismissing and ridiculingMr. Pettorini’s substantive positions.
Rather than a relevant exchange of ideas,they use sarcasm and satire to discreditthe merits of Mr. Pettorini’s argument.
I’m disappointed by those who blindlyfollow and adhere to Obama’s narrative.They are so quick to turn on and dispar-age their fellow Americans. Isn’t Obamathe man who said if you want to keepyour doctor, you can keep your doctor? Ifyou like your health insurance plan, youcan keep your health insurance?

ACA is working fineI don’t know what kind of right-
wing agenda letter writer Larry Reitzhad when making his unsupported bul-let-point claims about the efficacy ofthe Affordable Care Act.
According to a Gallup poll, ourCongress started the year with a 13 per-cent approval rating. Might it have todo with the Republican majority Houseof Representatives 47 attempts torepeal the ACA?
For many of us who are seeing the
instant benefits of — OK, call itObamacare — we recognize it’s notperfect. It’s not like we’re as developedas single-payer universal health-careworld powers like Bahrain, Brunei,Cyprus, Iceland, Kuwait, Norway andSlovenia. But at least we’re not goingbankrupt when insurance companiesreject us for pre-existing conditions.
Instead of the specious claims thatFOX News and people like Mr. Reitzare making, here’s my case: I’m self-employed and was paying Aetna $224 amonth for a plan with a $10,000deductible and no other benefits. Nowwith the ACA, I’m paying Cigna $189 amonth with a $2,250 deductible and $60co-pays for many in-network services.
Recently I needed to consult with alocal specialist who charged me $480.After Cigna had it discounted and paidits portion, I was left with just my $60co-pay. Now I can pump that savingsinto our economy. I send a personalthank you to our President Obama.

Better dolphin protectionOnce again, we are at the start of
dolphin season, or migration. This isthe time of year when the dolphin willgather off our coast in significantnumbers. I would just like to point outa conservation law that was well-intentioned but actually results inmore harm to the species that we aretrying to protect.
Several years ago, the law waschanged from no minimum size fordolphin to 20 inches fork length. Thissounds like a good law but in realitythis is what happens:
There are many schools out there,especially in June, where 90 percent ormore 18 to 18 inches fork length. So a
fisherman will catch nine undersizedolphin to catch one legal-size one.
The problem with this is the dolphinhave an extremely high mortality ratewhen released. They tend to bleed pro-fusely and anyone that has ever fishedfor dolphin can attest to the blood allover the boat after catching them.
To stop this loss, I suggest that wedrop the minimum size limit andinstead change the allowable catch limitto perhaps eight a day instead of 10.

Don’t make it easy for criminalsto take your property; secure it
In the Florida Keys, some crimes are cyclical. Forexample, every few years, the Upper Keys see a spateof thefts of the lower units of boat engines. The units,which contain the gear box and are pretty easy to detachfrom engines, then are hauled off to the mainland and,in many cases, shipped out of the country.
It’s not just the Upper Keys — more accessible tomainland thieves than other areas of the Keys — wherethat happens. In an eight-month period in 2009, around60 lower units were stolen between Stock Island andBig Pine Key.
Also cyclical — actually, seasonal — is a general risein auto break-ins. It usually happens during tourist sea-son, when visitors let their guards down and park their
cars at the usual sightsee-ing places without lockingthem or putting their valu-ables in the trunk.
Add the theft of fishinggear to the cyclical list. Itseems every few years, wesee a splurge in the numberof rods and reels stolen.Like many of the enginelower units, they often aretaken to the mainland, butinstead of being sold over-
seas, they are sold at the nearest flea market.The past week, we’ve seen five men arrested for
stealing fishing gear. There were two in the Lower Keys(one of the men apparently was stupid enough to callpolice to report that fishing gear he stole was stolenfrom him) and three in the Upper Keys. All face numer-ous felony charges.
Like the so-called crimes of opportunity with autobreak-ins, the theft of fishing gear is easily preventable.The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says more oftenthan not, stolen gear was not locked up but rather sittingin the open under a house, next to a house or in plainview on a boat.
The Sheriff’s Office says that since February, therehave been about 30 thefts of fishing gear countywide.Following are some tips from the agency so you don’tbecome a victim:
� Don’t leave your equipment unsecured. Take yourrods and reels off your boat at the end of a fishing trip.Make sure they are locked up securely.
� If you hear about anyone trying to sell rods andreels or other fishing equipment, call police.
If you do happen to become a victim, it helps ifyou’ve documented your gear by taking photographs ofit and recording serial numbers. If possible, engrave thegear with your driver’s license number or mark themwith some other kind of identifier. That will help police,if they recover property, to sort out who it belongs toand return it.
And if you believe you have information about acase but are hesitant to publicly come forward, just dialCrime Stoppers of the Florida Keys at (800) 346-TIPS.You can stay anonymous and might be eligible for areward if the tip leads to an arrest.

Pill-mill doctor appeals
Two South Florida doc-tors — including one fromthe Ocean Reef Club inNorth Key Largo — whowere convicted of moneylaundering in connectionwith an illegal pill mill areappealing their cases.
Attorneys for CynthiaCadet of Parkland inBroward County and JosephCastronuovo, the OceanReef resident, filed noticesof appeal Monday in WestPalm Beach federal court.Their cases will be heard bya federal appeals court basedin Atlanta.
The two doctors wereamong 32 people charged inconnection with a string ofpain clinics that authoritiessaid were linked to the deaths
of at least nine patients. A jurylast year acquitted Cadet andCastronuovo of having rolesin the deaths but convictedthem of money laundering.
Cadet was sentenced ear-lier this month to more thansix years in prison andCastronuovo got a year and ahalf. They are to report toprison in June.
The April 1 guilty verdicton the money-launderingcounts was greeted as a victo-ry by lawyers representingCastronuovo, 74, who lives
in a $425,000 condo in theFishermen’s Cove area ofOcean Reef.
The doctors had worked forAmerican Pain in FortLauderdale and Executive Painin Lake Worth until the clinicswere shut down as part of afederal pill-mill bust in 2010.
Prosecutors accused thetwo doctors of using their med-ical licenses to lend profes-sional clout to what was essen-tially a drug-dealing operation.
Patients scored largeamounts of oxycodone andother painkillers from doc-tors who performed cursoryexams and did little to verifythat the drugs were neces-sary, the federal investigationfound. In many cases, thepatients turned around andsold the drugs on the street.
The allegations weresevere: Cadet was accusedof prescribing drugs that ledto the deaths of sevenpatients. Castronuovo’s pre-scriptions led to two deaths,prosecutors said.

Two South Floridadoctors who wereconvicted ofmoney launderingin connection withan illegal pill millare appealingtheir cases.
The Sheriff’s Officesays that sinceFebruary, there have been about 30 thefts of fishinggear countywide.
As millions of Americansraced to meet the April 15 taxdeadline, their chances ofgetting audited were lowerthan they have been in years.
Budget cuts and newresponsibilities are strainingthe Internal RevenueService’s ability to police taxreturns. This year, the IRSwill have fewer agents audit-ing returns than at any timesince at least the 1980s.
Taxpayer services are suf-fering, too, with millions ofphone calls to the IRS goingunanswered.
“We keep going after thepeople who look like theworst of the bad guys,” IRSCommissioner JohnKoskinen said. “But there aregoing to be some people thatwe should catch, either interms of collecting the rev-enue from them or prosecut-ing them, that we’re notgoing to catch.”
Better technology is help-ing offset some budget cuts.
If you report making$40,000 in wages and youremployer tells the IRS youmade $50,000, the agency’scomputers probably willcatch that. The same is truefor investment income andmany common deductionsthat are reported to the IRSby financial institutions.
But if you operate a busi-ness that deals in cash, withincome or expenses that arenot independently reported tothe IRS, your chances of get-ting caught are lower thanthey have been in years.
Last year, the IRS auditedfewer than 1 percent of allreturns from individuals, thelowest rate since 2005. Thisyear, Koskinen said, “Thenumbers will go down.”
Koskinen said he can cutspending in three areas:Enforcement, taxpayer serv-ices and technology.Technology upgrades canonly be put off for so long, hesaid, so enforcement and tax-payer services are suffering.
Last year, only 61 percentof taxpayers calling the IRSfor help got it. This year,Koskinen said he expects thenumbers to be similar. Tohelp free up operators, callerswith complicated tax ques-tions are directed to theagency’s website.
“The problem with com-plicated questions is theytake longer,” Koskinen said.
Your chances of gettingaudited vary greatly based onyour income. The more youmake, the more likely you areto get a letter from the IRS.
Only 0.9 percent of peo-ple making less than$200,000 were audited lastyear. That’s the lowest ratesince the IRS began publish-ing the statistic in 2006.
By contrast, 10.9 percentof people making $1 millionor more were audited. That’sthe lowest rate since 2010.
Only 0.6 percent of busi-
ness returns were audited, butthe rate varied greatlydepending on the size of thebusiness. About 16 percent ofcorporations with more than$10 million in assets wereaudited.
Most people don’t havemuch of an opportunity tocheat on their taxes, saidElizabeth Maresca, a formerIRS lawyer who now teacheslaw at Fordham University.
Your employer probablyreports your wages to theIRS, your bank reports inter-est income, your brokerreports investment incomeand your lender reports theamount of interest you paidon your mortgage.
One flag for the IRS iswhen your deductions orexpenses don’t match yourincome, said Joseph Perry,the partner in charge of taxand business services atMarcum LLP, an accountingfirm. For example, if youdeduct $70,000 in real estatetaxes and mortgage interest,but only report $100,000 inincome.
All of a sudden, thereseems to be a rash of talent-ed, smart and successfulbusinesswomen who havelost their minds.
That sounds really harsh.But in the past few weeks,three women in my circlehave suddenly reverted to1950s behavior.
One was just named amongthe top 25 influencers in herniche in the fourth largest cityin America. She wanted toknow, “Is this something Ishould add to my stuff?”Another has been quotedextensively on topics withinher area of expertise in majorpublications online and in print— and she downplays it.
Ladies: Seriously? Whywould you not want to cele-brate those successes? Whywould you not want to say, “Ijust got this great commentfrom one of my clients” or“My first souffle was a roar-ing success”?
What is wrong with takingdeserved credit?
Part of it is that waywomen have been taught thatit’s unfeminine to stand frontand center, to call attention to
themselves.That some-how peoplewill thinkless of themif they pointout the greatthings thathappen tothem due totheir ownhard work,
talent and skill.Time to get over that.For anyone who is suffer-
ing from unwarranted bash-fulness or is reluctant to takecredit where credit is due,here are some tips:
� Figure out why you feelthe way you do. It could be aserious challenge, like an ill-ness or a drastic change inlifestyle.
Once you know what’striggered your drop in self-esteem (or your lifelongbelief in it), listen to yourself-talk. What are youtelling yourself about the sit-uation and, more importantly,your own role in it?
� Ask yourself: Are youindulging in “all or nothing”thinking? In other words, “Ifthis happens/doesn’t happen,I will be a complete failure.”
Are you screening out thepositive things and focusingonly on the negative? Are youjumping to negative conclu-
sions: “If I don’t get this job, Iwill become a bag lady andend up living under a bridge”?
Are you confusing feel-ings with facts? You may feellike you don’t have muchgoing for you, but is that actu-ally true? To get the answer tothat last point, here’s an exer-cise that can help.
Write down everythingyou’ve done in the last 20years. I thought it was impos-sible, too, but it’s not.
You’ll probably start outwith major business or jobaccomplishments, but don’tforget the fun stuff, too, liketraveling overseas, volun-teering, additional course-work or training, and so on.Don’t forget the dumb things,too, like running out of gas orhiking in the desert withoutenough drinking water.
Your list will sound like aresume, but that’s OK. It’s agood excuse to update that,too, while you’re at it.
I guarantee one thing: Asyour list develops, you willbe shocked — and pleasantlysurprised — to see that youhave skills, talents andaccomplishments that younever realized you had.
You’ll get a well-deservedboost and at the same timeyou’ll identify quantifiableaccomplishments that can helpyou get your self-esteem back.
Go ahead and luxuriate inthat feeling. It’s a good placefrom which to launch yournext step: Narrowing downyour now-voluminous list tojust three.
Maybe you’ve discoveredthat you’re super at helpingpeople solve problems.Maybe you’ve learned thatyou handle pressure excep-tionally well. Or that you’re avery quick learner who canjuggle many tasks at thesame time. How about thatmajor project you finished ontime and to great reviews?
These things are worthcelebrating and acknowledg-ing. Don’t hide your light.Take the credit. You deserveit. Be proud of who you areand what you do. Own it.

Audit rate lowest in yearsIRS head saysthere aren’tenough resourcesBy STEPHEN OHLEMACHERAssociated Press

An attempt to place a 50-room hotel in the Gulf ofMexico could pick up pacein coming months, OceanaWater Resort developerDoug Pope says.
“The project is absolute-ly alive,” Pope said. “We’restill very optimistic.”
Lack of financing hasstalled the estimated $20million construction forabout two years, he said.
“Our finance partner justtold me that funding couldbe imminent,” Pope said.“But if it doesn’t comethrough, we’re prepared tostart seeking investors formore traditional funding.”
Pope’s Elevated WatersResorts firm in Middleburgwas told to expect moneylast year, “but all of a sud-den, it did not comethrough,” he said.
Oceana is planned as apartially moveable structurethat would stand six storieshigh over the Gulf ofMexico about 16 milesnorthwest of Key West.
The resort would be built
on a 230-foot-by-128-footplatform, raised over theGulf surface atop four semi-permanent pilings on padsresting on the sea floor, 55to 60 feet down.
Pope compares the con-cept to a jack-up boat thatlowers temporary pilings toremain in place.
“As one would expect ona project of this magnitude,
there have been somechanges but the basicdesign remains the same,”he said.
If registered as a boat,similar to the way offshoreoil-drilling platforms arelicensed, Oceana could beput into operation with rela-tively few restrictions, Popecontends.
Advisors to the Florida
Keys National MarineSanctuary have expresseddoubts about the ability tomake Oceana as environ-mentally friendly as Popewants.
Pope sees the resort as agetaway for avid fishermenwho could rent boats at theresort after arriving on ashuttle boat from Key West.

Noise laws get more readings
Through form letters sub-mitted to the City Clerk’sOffice, hundreds of peoplehave told the city of Key Westthat new laws to govern thevolume of music coming fromOld Town bars isn’t needed.
Tuesday night, the CityCommission was set, yet
again, to vote on the laws.One would set allowabledecibel levels and measure-ment guidelines. Anotherdescribes the penalty processfor violators.
The most recent version ofthe law has Code Complianceofficers measuring sound lev-els from the property line inquestion on two decibelscales, A and C, the latterincorporating measurementsof amplified bass. Music orother sounds under 85 dBA or94 dBC would be OK.
The other law, a so-calledentertainment license ordi-
nance, is set up to penalizethe “individual controlling orresponsible for maintainingthe volume,” generally themusician or bar manager, andthe property owner.
The law would requireestablishments with entertain-ment licenses, which is essen-tially anywhere with livemusic, to “establish an interi-or 15-foot setback for soundamplifiers and speakers.”
If an entertainment licenseholder is found in violationthree times in a 12-monthperiod, the city manager candecide to revoke or suspend
the license.The law would allow the
City Commission, sitting asthe Board of Adjustment, togrant a waiver if the ownercan demonstrate a “hardshipbased on the size or configu-ration of the establishment.”
As of Tuesday morning,the City Clerk’s Office hadreceived 703 signed formletters asking for a no voteon the entertainment licenseordinance and 676 signedform letters against theordinance that sets soundcontrol guidelines.

Conchs at Ransom todayThe Key West High base-
ball team’s quest for a 12thstate title continues todaywhen the Conchs playRansom Everglades in theDistrict 16-4A tournament.
The game will be at 4 p.m.at Ransom’s field in Miami.
The Conchs — with a teambatting average of .375 and anearned-run average of 1.70 —are 20-3-1, which doesn’t sur-prise coach Ralph Henriquez.
“Our kids have done areally good job of buyinginto our philosophy of howwe play the game,” he said.“I don’t like losing.”
Key West has actually won
22 games this season, theother two coming in preseasongames, which don’t counttoward the regular season,though individual statisticsfrom those games are counted.
“It makes no sense,”
Henriquez said. “I’veworked too damn hard, ashave the kids. I want it onthe damn record.”
Henriquez last coachedthe Conchs in 2005, when heled them to a state title and a
27-5 record. He is 47-8-1 inhis last 56 Key West games.
Brandon Presley will beon the mound for the Conchstoday, but the team will bewithout designated hitterDarren Miller, who was to undergo elbow surgery on Tuesday.
If the Conchs — who areranked fourth in South Florida
by the High School BaseballNetwork, behind Flanagan,Archbishop McCarthy andWest Boca — win today, theywill play for the district titleThursday, likely againstGulliver Prep. If Key Westwould win that game, itwould have a home game inthe regional quarterfinals ofthe state playoffs.

Hoopster Multy finds her groove
Her braided hair flying asshe flew in for layup afterlayup, Key West School’sTanisha Multy shined fortwo seasons as a high scoreron the basketball court.
All the while, she wassteadily improving academi-cally from a dull start that kepther off the Conchs girls teamas a freshman and sophomore.
“I’m the turnaround ofKey West High,” said Multy,17, who signed last week toplay at Redlands CommunityCollege in El Reno, Okla.
Principal Amber Bosco,who has seen Multy evolve,said her academics and behav-ior were “not on track” whenshe entered high school.
“Then she sought assis-tance from teachers andmentors, worked hard inschool and made up class-es,” Bosco said. “This year,she is a good student and ison track to graduate with acollege scholarship. Hermessage to younger studentsis to take school seriously inthe beginning.”
“I skipped a lot of class-es,” Multy said, recalling afreshman year in which sheproduced a grade-point aver-age of 1.9 (it’s now 2.8).
It took a classmate’sdeath in a car accident tomake Multy realize sheneeded to straighten up.“Before the accident, shehad messaged me saying Ihad potential in basketball ifI got my grades up, and thatwe could play on the samecourt,” she said.
In her junior year, Multytied the school’s girls single-game scoring record with 32points. Then, as a senior, sheset the record with 41against Marathon and cameback the next game with 39against Keys Gate.
On a recent Sunday, coachShonta McLeod let her into
the Bobby Menendez Gym,where she practiced 3-pointshots for three hours.
“The girls I will playagainst in college may bebigger and faster than me,but in the gym I play withboys and it’s very physical.If I can take on boys, I cantake on girls, for sure.”
Multy is 5-6 but weighsonly 102 pounds. She’s try-ing to gain weight by lift-ing weights and drinkingprotein shakes.
Depending on how shedoes on the SAT in May,Multy said she might godirectly to the University of Central Oklahoma, a
Division 2 school.As a young girl playing in
the Key West Police AthleticLeague, Multy dreamed ofone day playing in theWNBA or in Europe. Thatdream is still intact.
Not only has she neverbeen to Oklahoma, she’snever been farther awayfrom home than Miami.She’s aware of Key Westathletes who have signedwith colleges in other partsof the country but who areback in town after a year.
“It looks pretty good outthere,” she said. “I may gethomesick but I’m definitelynot coming back.”

Spring making the fish come aliveEven with the slight cool
front we had this week, weare definitely transitioninginto our spring fisheries.
Offshore, the dolphin biteis really coming together,with plenty of gaffer-sizefish. Frigate birds indicate thebiggest fish over 20 pounds,and weed lines are loadedwith schoolies. What’s work-ing are lures with the blue andsilver combo as well asrigged ballyhoo.
Mixed in with the dolphinare blackfin tuna, mostly inthe 10- to 12-pound class.
As for sailfish, the bite hasbeen best to the west of theMiddle Keys, from Big Pineto Key West. This portendswell for the Key West Sail fishChampionship that kicks
off today.Yellow -
tail snapperare justa b o u tevery whereon the reefthese days.Still, thedeeper yougo, the big-ger the fish.
Amberjack and muttonsnapper are abundant on theAtlantic wrecks, and the per-mit have joined them inimpressive numbers. You’llneed live crabs for the permit.
Tarpon fishing at thebridges is really coming onstrong. The populationincreases every day, with fishin the 80- to 100-pound class.
Your baits are crabs, pinfishor mullet, depending onwhich bridge you’re fishing.
The bay waters offercalm fishing for mangrovesnapper and sea trout, withlarge sharks of all kindsthere for added entertain-ment. There are permit andsome cobia on the far wrecks30 miles out.
The week’s bestThe Dougherty family fish-
ing team from Philadelphiareturned this year to tarponfish with Capt. ChuckBrodzki. Despite the bigwinds, they landed three tar-pon in the 70-pound class nearthe Channel Key banks usinglive blue crabs.
Kara Karpenske from
Minneapolis scored her firsttarpon with Brodzki. She out-maneuvered the 75-pounderfrom the pilings at theChannel 2 Bridge.
Capt. Ariel Medero, ofBig Game Sportfishing out ofthe Hammocks in Marathon,reports lots of schoolies andgaffer dolphin offshore andsays look for floating debris,frigate birds and a deep-bluecolor change. He also man-aged to find some sailfish off Marathon.
The snapper and grouperbite on the reef is consistent,and Medero (like all of us)can hardly wait until May 1,when we can keep thegrouper.

Not all World’s Fairvisions come true
Video phone calls? Yeah,we do that.
Asking computers forinformation? Sure, severaltimes a day.
Colonies on the moonand jet packs as a mode ofeveryday transportation.OK, maybe not.
The New York World’sFair of 1964, which openedApril 22 that year, intro-duced 51 million visitors to arange of technological inno-vations and predictions,some that turned out to beright on the money and oth-ers that, perhaps thankfully,were way off the mark.
At the Bell System pavil-ion, engineers touted a “pic-turephone” that allowedcallers to see who they weretalking to, a concept thatlives on in modern-day appssuch as Skype and FaceTime.
At the time, though, pic-ture phones didn’t take off,said Lori Walters, history pro-fessor at the University ofCentral Florida. She attrib-uted that to high setup coststhat made them accessible torelatively few. And at a timewhen many men attended thefair in coat and tie andwomen in dresses, peopleweren’t quite ready to be seenon the phone at any hour, intheir pajamas or worse.
“We were still a littlemore of a formal society,”Walters said.
The fair, whose 50thanniversary is this year, alsogave wide exposure to thepower of computers, whichat the time were seen as hugecabinets of blinking lightsand electrodes operated bybig corporations.
At the IBM pavilion, vis-itors saw a computer systemin which a machine took in acard with a date written on itand gave back another cardwith a news story from thatdate. At the NCR pavilion, acomputer would answer sci-entific questions or give outrecipes from a cookbook.
Hmm, asking a computerfor information? Well, hello,Google. Hi there, Siri.
“I don’t think it’s a stretchto say in a lot of ways this fairwas key to familiarizing peo-ple with and really normaliz-ing the concept of workingwith computers,” said RyanRitchey, a Philadelphia film-
maker who’s making a docu-mentary about the fair.
Another bit of technology(along with an annoyinglyhard-to-forget song) wasintroduced by Walt Disneywith the “It’s a Small World”attraction: Robotic animation.
That “animatronic”exhibit and three others,including one featuring arobotic President Lincoln,showed characters movingin lifelike ways, includingsmiling and blinking.
“This is the first time thatmillions of people had theopportunity to see somethingthat could be described asrobotic. The special effectsyou could see in the World’sFair blew away what youcould see in the movies,”said Joseph Tirella, author ofa book about the fair.
Of course, not everythingpresented as the way of thefuture came to pass, as seen
in some of the views of thefuture in the “Futurama 2”ride put together by GeneralMotors. It included scenes ofcolonies on the moon as wellas in Antarctica, huge under-water dwellings and amachine that used a laser tocut through rainforests, leav-ing behind paved roads.
And don’t forget the jetpacks, demonstrated by menwho wore them and zoomedaround the grounds, butwhich remain a mode oftransport found primarily inscience fiction.
Regardless of whethersuch notions survived,observers say the fair offereda vision of the world’spotential that made it seemlike anything was possible.
“It really seems like 50years ago, we had moreexciting visions for 50 yearsin the future than we donow,” Ritchey said.
