Keys Energy [Services] has already dropped the line onto that pole in that easement. Theoretically, I’ve got electricity power on my property today.” After decades of battles, the 43 homeowners on No Name can now hook up to the com- mercial grid and shut off their diesel-powered generators. Beth Vickrey said her A/C contractor was scheduled to start work Saturday, and her electrical contractor on Tuesday. She hopes to call the county for an inspection by Thursday. It’s possible because on Wednesday, Monroe County Circuit Court Judge David Audlin signed off on an order that allows the homeowners to connect to the grid. Key West attorney Bart Smith filed the request after the County Commission on May 15 voted not to block electrical permits if ordered by the court. Smith represents Reynolds and his wife Julianne Reynolds, and Jim and Ruth Newton, who argued success- fully before the state Public Service Commission May 14 that they have the right to commercial power. The PSC voted that it not only has jurisdiction to grant electricity, but that the island should be provided it. At present, no Name homes are powered by solar panels and generators. Members of the No Name Key Property Owners Associa- tion paid roughly $650,000 last summer for Keys Energy to install 61 power poles and lines on the 1,000-acre island off Big Pine Key. Association President Kathy Brown said her mem- bers are “relieved” Audlin issued the order. That group’s attorney, Andy Tobin, filed a similar request last year but it took a PSC ruling to speed up the process. “We are pleased [county] commissioners [Danny] Kolhage, [George] Neugent and [David] Rice recognized the hardships we have suf- fered and that the law is clear and voted to end riding the dead horse,” Brown said. “Personally, I look forward to eliminating my generator and begin net metering, provid- ing a sustainable, environ- mental way of life.” The PSC vote led the County Commission to essentially wash its hands of any county legal involvement on No Name.

One is a welded rebar frame packed with plastic foam sheets and spray-foam insulation. Others float on hulls of hammered sheet metal barely hanging onto wooden frames. “They’ve usually got an engine they pulled out of some vehicle, or a makeshift sail,” Costoya said, hefting a mast fashioned by popping branches from a tree limb still covered with bark. Some emigrants from Cuba’s political repression and floundering economy manage to arrange pickup by smugglers aboard speedboats from the U.S. Others, unable to afford the high cost, “build these in the woods and slip away at night.” Some of the escape boats are found with emigrants still aboard.

with previous years is diffi-cult because the tests havegotten harder and, in the caseof the writing exam, studentsare given more time to writethe required essays.
In previous years, thewriting exam allotted 45
minutes. This year, that wasextended to 60 minutes.
Porter said his initial reac-tion, before studying the datain depth, is “that results appearsomewhat mixed. We havesome cause for celebration butstill areas for concern.”
He added the districtwould use the scoring data to
focus attention on areas thatneed work.
Third-grade reading scoresof 198-209 are equivalent to agrade of 3.0. Here’s how Keysstudents at each school scored:

cuss things likely to happen inthe next 12 hours and considerprotective action, evacuationother potential impediments.”
“If Monroe is looking toevacuate and we’re lookingto evacuate, we look at whenwe should start.”
Toner said, “We’ll have tomove first because whateverwe do affects Miami-Dade.We have to move before theyissue their order.”
Sommerhoff noted thatMiami-Dade’s expandedevacuation map — whichincludes portions of Florida’sTurnpike critical to MonroeCounty’s evacuation — doesnot mean all areas of themainland county will beaffected in the same storm, orat the same time.
New evacuation zoneswere drawn because of anupdated storm-surge model,which indicates that evensome Miami-Dade areas farinland may be vulnerable insome storms.
“Except in possibly a
[Category] 4 or 5 hurricanecoming in at high tide, you’renot going to see the kind ofsurge [inland] that you see atthe coast,” Sommerhoff said.
In some scenarios, pro-jected evacuation times actu-ally decreased from earliermodels, he said. “Overall, itseems like we’re in prettygood shape,” he said.
But the South Florida hur-ricane season that starts June1 should never be taken light-ly, Sommerhoff said.
“As bad has HurricaneAndrew was [in 1992], itwasn’t the big one,” he said.“Andrew was relativelysmall and fast-moving.”
Something like HurricaneKatrina, a big and slow-mov-ing storm that devastated theGulf Coast, was closer to theGreat Miami Hurricane of1926, a Category 4 thatwashed over Miami Beach,killing dozens in SouthFlorida and even more aroundflooded Lake Okeechobee.
“We don’t want another oneof those,” Sommerhoff said.

Coast Guard spokesmanPetty Officer 3rd ClassMark Barney said thosemigrants have been returnedto Cuba.
There is no atypicalincrease in Cubans makingthe journey across theFlorida Straits, he said, but
this time of year usually isbusy. “The better the weath-er gets, the more we get,”Barney said.
Cuban emigrant arrivalsare down about 25 percentcompared to the same timeperiod in 2012, said EleeErice, a spokeswoman withU.S. Customs and BorderProtection. From October2011 to April 30, 2012, theagency reported 217 mar-itime arrivals. This year sofar, there have been 166maritime arrivals.
The number of Cubansintercepted at sea also isdown so far this year byabout 35 percent, accordingto Coast Guard data. From
October 2011 to April 30,2012, 816 Cubans werestopped at sea. During thesame time period this year,that number is 526.

A Miami-Dade manaccused of driving drunk onthe Seven Mile Bridge andslamming into another car,killing the driver, is set forarraignment on Thursday —the day he turns 24.
Xavier Ycaza, who’s inthe Monroe CountyDetention Center with nobond allowed, is chargedwith driving under the influ-ence-manslaughter, DUI-serious bodily injury andDUI-property damage.
His blood alcohol contentfollowing the April 17 crashwas .17 percent, FloridaHighway Patrol Lt. KathleenMcKinney said. In Florida,.08 percent is consideredlegally drunk.
Troopers say that at 8:50p.m. the night of the crash,Grand Rapids, Mich., resi-dent Floyd DeVos, 79, wasdriving south over the bridgewith his wife of 59 years,Nancy, 76, in the passengerseat of their 1999 Chevrolet.That’s when Ycaza’s north-bound 2013 Nissan swervedinto the southbound lanesand slammed head-on into
the DeVos’car.
Y c a z awas flownto Ryderand on May9, when hew a sr e l e a s e d ,state troop-

The DeVoses were regu-lar visitors to the SunshineKey RV Resort, just south ofthe Seven Mile Bridge. Anobituary in the Grand RapidsPress said Floyd “spent thelast years of his life enjoyingthe Florida Keys and its
amazing fishing.”Ycaza’s arraignment
Thursday is set for 1:30 p.m.before Acting Circuit CourtJudge Ruth Becker at theMarathon courthouse.Records don’t show ifYcaza, who lives in GoldenBeach, has an attorney.

Despite win, lawsuit goes on
Monroe County haswashed its hands of everylegal tie it had to No NameKey and the fight over com-mercial electricity on theisland — except one.
No Name residents Boband Julianne Reynolds, alongwith neighbors Jim and RuthNewton, filed a $10 milliondiscrimination lawsuitagainst Monroe County inJanuary that Reynolds sayswill proceed.
“Absolutely not,” he saidwhen asked if the suit wouldbe dropped now that KeysEnergy Services should pro-
vide commercial electricityto homeowners on the 1,000-acre island off Big Pine Keywithin days.
“We’ve been discriminat-ed against the entire time wewere there,” said Reynolds,who bought his house on NoName in 2005.
He said “I have to pursueit,” calling a county law pro-hibiting utilities in federalCoastal Barrier ResourceSystem areas, and its previousunwillingness to issue build-ing permits to connect to 61power poles on the island,“totally unacceptable.”
“I’ve spent the last eightyears dealing with this,spending time and money Icould have spent on anythingelse. I’ve had to fight the con-scious discrimination againstmy family and my communi-ty as perpetuated by my gov-ernment,” Reynolds said.
Congress created theCoastal Barrier ResourceSystem in 1982 and updatedit in 1990 to protect undevel-oped coastal barrier areas.
Reynolds’ arguments aremany, including that hishome is not in a CBRS area,which it is not. Only thehomes closest to the Gulf ofMexico are in the CBRS.
In addition, Reynoldspoints to conflicting languagein the county’s comprehen-sive plan and land develop-ment regulations regarding“discouraging” and “prohibit-ing” utilities in CBRS areas.
Reynolds and theNewtons successfully arguedbefore the state PublicService Commission on May14 that the island has theright to connect to the grid.The county had long arguedthat its comprehensive plansupercedes PSC authority.
County Attorney BobShillinger said the countywill “absolutely fight” thediscrimination suit.
“We’ll make our argu-ments in the court,” he said.“We don’t believe [Reynolds]satisfies the standing in statelaw or federal law for a dis-crimination case.”
The case was filed as afour-part complaint includingfederal and state discrimina-tion counts, a “writ of man-damus” compelling the countyto issue electrical permits, anda claim that the county’s 2001law prohibiting utilities inCBRS areas was not properlyadvertised prior to adoption.
Shillinger said the federaldiscrimination claim has beendropped and the case is backin Monroe County CircuitCourt. There are no hearingsscheduled, according to theCounty Clerk’s website.
Reynolds saysdiscriminationwas blatantBy RYAN [email protected]
NO NAME KEY
voting not to block permits,the board voted not to appealthe PSC ruling.
The commission’s deci-sion came as no surprise. InFebruary, it voted unani-mously to drop a trespassingaction against Keys Energyover aerial easements on NoName, as well as an appealof a Circuit Court decisionthat put final say over electri-fication in the PSC’s hands.
Just a few months ago, thedecades-long battle overelectricity on No Nameappeared to be more back-logged than ever. There wereseveral pending court actions
as well as the Reynolds’ PSCcomplaint.
Jim Newton applied forand was granted an electricalpermit in June but the countysaid it was issued in error andrevoked it. He sued after thecounty Planning Commissionupheld staff’s decision.
County Growth Manage-ment Director ChristineHurley told the Keynoter viae-mail Wednesday that staff“signed off the PlanningDepartment reviews” on per-mits already applied for.
According to the county,the following residents havealready applied for electricalpermits: Brown, theReynoldses, the Newtons,
Brad and Beth Vickrey, JohnLentini, Doug and KarenPhillip, and Mark andMarjorie Licht.
Keys Energy spokesmanJulio Barroso said that whenpermits are issued, homescould be connected in lessthan 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the clock isticking on anyone mulling anappeal to the PSC’s May 14decision.
A final order confirmingthat board’s decision wasposted to the PSC website onTuesday, giving anyone 21days to protest. No one hascome forward to say they will.
The homeowners associa-tion says by its count, 32 of
the island’s 43 homeownersare members of the associa-tion and all reportedly plan toconnect to the grid.
Some residents, includingopponent Alicia Putney, willremain off the grid but havethe option to connect at any-time. Reynolds said connect-ing to the grid does not meanhe’ll abandon a solar systemhe says is the “second orthird largest on the island.”
“I think it makes moresense where you can tie itinto the grid, especially ifyou don’t live in a houseevery day. I’m producing aprodigious amount of solarevery day that goes towaste,” Reynolds said.

Lefere likely operations chiefNaval Air Station Key
West Cmdr. Pat Lefere likelywon’t be out of work for longwhen he retires next month.
The career aviator, whotransfers the station’s com-mand to Capt. StevenMcAlearney on June 6 afterthree years at the helm, onTuesday likely will beapproved as the MonroeCounty School District’s direc-tor of operations and planning.
If Superintendent MarkPorter’s decision gets the greenlight from the School Board at
its 5 p.m. meeting at MarathonHigh School, Lefere wouldstart a two-year contract July 1at $116,381 annually.
Lefere declined commenton his next job until he handsover NAS operations toMcAlearney, but Porter saidLefere stood far above thenine other applicants toreplace Michael Kinneer, whoresigned April 7 after beingtold he wouldn’t be retained.
Human ResourcesDirector John Welsh,Transportation DirectorKayleen Watts and IT spe-cialist Barbara Cavanah vet-
ted the resumes and short-listed them to six. That wasthen planned to be shortlist-ed to three to be interviewed,but Porter said that wasn’tnecessary.
“He was the only candi-date interviewed,” Portersaid. “We thought we wouldsee a distinction among theapplicants but the gap was soclear in distinction.... I thinkhe is bringing potentially awealth of qualifications andexperience, and a healthydose of integrity.”
That, Porter said, “willcontribute to stability” in a
schools system that haslacked it for at least the pastfour years, when theAcevedo finance scandalbroke, resulting in the gover-nor removing the superin-tendent from office.
Hiring Lefere leavesPorter with two other high-level jobs to fill, financedirector and human-resources director. KenGentile and Cheryl Allen,respectively, previously heldthe posts but Porter didn’textend their contracts whenthey expired in the spring.

Rare conviction for derelict boat
Leaving a 25-foot sailboatanchored in Cow KeyChannel put a misdemeanorconviction on a Key Westman’s record Wednesday.
Steven D. Kudlaty, 39,fought the charge fromSeptember 2010 in a one-day jury trial before MonroeCounty Court Judge WayneMiller.
Assistant State AttorneyLaSonya Lacy O’Connellprosecuted the case, a rareinstance of an abandoned-boatcharge reaching the trial stage.“I don’t remember any oth-ers,” State Attorney CatherineVogel said Thursday.
“People need to realizethat abandoning a boat orallowing it to become aderelict is a crime,” Vogelsaid. “It creates a navigation-al hazard that’s a danger toother boats and to sea life.
And it costs taxpayer moneyto remove it.”
O’Connell said the Catalinasailboat, anchored on the chan-nel’s bayside, was tagged bythe Florida Fish and WildlifeConservation Commission asabandoned and “pre-derelict”in September 2010, thenremoved several weeks later.
When it was towed, the boatwas still afloat but a floodedcabin and poor condition left itlikely to sink, O’Connell said.“It was a wreck.”
At a sentencing hearingexpected within six weeks, thestate will seek restitution forthe cost of removing the boat,Vogel said. Cost of theremoval in Kudlaty’s case wasnot immediately available.
A May 15 report to theMonroe County Commissionnoted that from April 2012through March 2013,$203,447 from local and stateboating funds was spent toremove 61 derelict vesselsfrom Florida Keys waters.

Oxitec: Success
As the Florida KeysMosquito Control Districtawaits U.S. approval, DirectorMichael Doyle on Mondayreported positive results fromBritish company Oxitec’s lat-est genetically modified mos-quito effort in Brazil.
Doyle told the MosquitoControl Board that Oxitec onMay 15 reported a 96 percentsuppression of dengue-carry-ing Aedes aegypti mosqui-toes in the village ofMandacaru, near the city ofJuazeiro in Brazil.
“It’s more good news andit’s another indication that thetechnology is working in awide variety of places. That’salways a concern with anynew technology,” he said.
Oxitec breeds geneticallymodified Aedes aegypti mos-quitoes, the dengue-fever car-rier that caused a 2009 out-break of the disease in OldTown Key West. There havebeen no reported cases since.
Monroe County healthofficials confirmed 93 casesin 2009. Dengue causes bonepain and related maladies,
but isn’t typically fatal.Oxitec’s mosquitoes carry
a gene preventing them frommating. If they do, their off-spring would die before reach-ing adulthood, hopefully caus-ing the wild breeding popula-tion to decrease dramatically.
Oxitec reportedly releasedlarge numbers of the mosqui-toes for six months inMandacaru, reducing the vil-lage’s wild population to 4percent of its original size.That suppression level wasmaintained for an additionalseven months using contin-ued, reduced releases.
Oxitec produced similarresults in Grand Cayman, anisland with a comparable cli-mate to Key West, in 2011.
“The fact that it’s workedin the Cayman Islands, whichare very similar to the Keys,it’s just encouraging andmakes us that more interest-ed,” Doyle said.
There hasn’t been much inthe way of new informationsince Doyle took part in anexpert U.S. Food and DrugAdministration panel inFebruary to discuss a similarproject in Key West. TheFDA has agreed to overseepotential permitting of a KeyWest trial.
The district wants to takea proactive approach to sup-pressing the Aedes popula-tion, but the project is contro-
versial and many localsoppose it.
However, the district per-formed a wide-ranging sur-vey recently that indicateslarge-scale local support.North Carolina StateUniversity Professor MichaelCobb did the study.
Cobb is a political scienceprofessor, but also “studiespublic perceptions aboutemerging technologies,”according to his N.C. State fac-ulty page. Part of that is “trans-genic techniques for managingpests like mosquitoes.”
Asked their “opinionsabout using [genetic engi-neering] technology to con-trol mosquitoes in KeyWest,” 61 percent of 610people from Key West to KeyLargo strongly support (24percent) or support (37 per-cent) the idea. Twenty-1 per-cent were neutral; 10 percentopposed and 8 percentstrongly opposed.
Asked how safe they feelreleasing genetically modi-fied mosquitoes is, 80 per-cent said it’s either very safe(18 percent) or safe (62 per-cent). Twenty percent saidthey feel it would be unsafe(12 percent) or very unsafe (8percent).
Doyle said that for a KeyWest release, a “timeline andultimate decision are notknown.”

MOSQUITO CONTROL
Southcott calling it a day
Florida Keys MosquitoControl District ComptrollerWilliam Southcott is retiringafter 24-plus years overseeingthe agency’s annual budget.
District Director MichaelDoyle announced the retire-ment at Mosquito Control’sMonday’s meeting inMarathon. Southcott’s lastday is expected to be June 30.
“I plan to stay in the coun-ty and just move on to thenext chapter of my life,”Southcott said. “It’s time forMosquito Control to be hand-
ed off to somebody new.”Southcott worked for a
time under former DirectorLois Ryan, who died lastweek, before stints at theMonroe County HealthDepartment and FloridaKeys Aqueduct Authority.
“I was offered to comeback to the district and to fillthe comptroller position,” hesaid. “I decided I’d comeback to Mosquito Controlbecause I liked it. It wasn’tjust crunching numbers; itwas a lot more managementand things like that. It was amore well-rounded posi-tion,” Southcott said.
The current budget is$10.6 million.
The Mosquito Controlbudget has come under close
scrutiny in recent years,especially under formerDirector Ed Fussell, whoretired in January 2011. Hewas criticized for paddingand later rapidly spendingdown cash reserves.
The district’s fiscal year2012-13 budget was bal-anced for the first time inseveral years, and Southcottwas outspoken about declin-ing reserves.
Current Director MichaelDoyle took over for Fussellin July 2011, and was imme-diately tasked with formulat-ing a three-year strategic planfor the district. A large part ofit was stabilizing reserves.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PSC fails the KeysA recent editorial slammed Alicia
Putney as an “obstructionist” for herlong struggle to keep No Name Key offthe power grid. It also claimed therewere very few “true solar communi-ties” anywhere in the world.
You’ve got her wrong and missedthe point. Alicia was fighting to protectMonroe County laws that discourageexpanding utilities and increasingdevelopment on barrier islands. Shewas not an obstructionist — she wasthinking of our future.
As for solar communities, Alicia andher late husband Mick walked the walkwith their solar collectors, cistern andnaturally vented home they built. Theyhad a dream. Was that such a bad thing?
There will never be any solar com-munities unless someone dreams ofone first, and works to build it. TheFlorida Keys are the perfect place forsuch a dream becoming a reality. Andthe time is right, since we humans arethreatening our own existence by burn-ing fossil fuels so relentlessly.
The Putneys and other No Nameresidents had worked for decades tokeep public power at bay. Was it so ter-rible for them to hope we could exper-
iment on one tiny island here in theKeys? Lined up against the pro-solargroup were other No Name residents,including newcomers who knew theterms when they bought their homesbut wanted power anyway.
Also interested in expanding elec-tricity to the island was our own powercompany, Keys Energy Services. It haslong talked about greening the Keysand supporting solar energy but passedon this chance to actually take a standin favor of the environment.
The Public Service Commission deci-sion to allow electricity on No NameKey is a loss to all of us. They thumbedtheir nose at our county land-use lawsand helped root out a solar-powerseedling growing here in the Keys. Whatkind of public service was that?
Finally, in my opinion, the power ofthe press could be used to support thissustainability direction rather than takepot shots at those who do.

in Marathon, about 25 percent of mybusiness came from the boaters at
Boot Key.The city now has at least three
washers and dryers for the boaters atthe City of Marathon Marina. Thattook away 25 percent of the Maytaglaundry’s business.
Why doesn’t the city open a gro-cery store, a drug store, even a restau-rant and put more businesses out ofbusiness?

Focus on crime, crashesI am a resident of Key West and
really enjoy life here. But I am verydisappointed with the rise in crime asreported in the Keynoter on May 11.
I am sorry, but there is no excuse forthe rise in the crime rate, especiallywhen the rest of Florida reported adecrease. This report, along with thereport a short while ago that stated thatKey West is No. 1 in traffic accidentsper capita is very disturbing.
I strongly suggest that Police ChiefDonie Lee, for whom I have the utmostrespect, make solving these problemshis No. 1 priority.

Hurricane season starts June 1,and with it come new weatherforecasting technologies and models
Forecasts for this year’s hurricane season call for abusier run of named storms in the Atlantic basin. Butfew count on those long-range predictions, except foractuarial number crunchers who work for property andcasualty companies.
For the rest of us, the old Boy Scout motto aboutbeing prepared is the better course to follow for hurri-cane season, which runs June 1 to Nov. 30.
Inside today’s Keynoter, you’ll find a comprehen-sive guide with all the information you’ll need to pre-pare for a storm, develop a family evacuation plan,protect your pets, and timely reminders about replac-ing batteries in portable radios and flashlights.
Assume no power and maybe no water for days inthe event of a bad one — what would you do?
In today’s guide, you’ll find helpful advice onwhat to stock foodwise, what to expect in an evacua-tion, what you can and can’t bring to a shelter, and somuch more.
Monroe County’s evacuation plan has changed,now requiring residents living in mobile homes, traveltrailers, recreational vehicles and boats to evacuate inadvance of a Category 3, 4 or 5 storm.
The county is negotiating for a shelter site on themainland after Florida International Universitychanged its agreement with the county. Now, FIUwill only house Keys evacuees with special needs,including the infirm, elderly or transfers fromMonroe hospitals.
At a hurricane preparedness workshop Tuesday inKey West, Rick Knabb, the director of the NationalHurricane Center, spoke. He outlined a storm-surgewarning system the center will implement this year —which is of particular interest in the Keys, with mem-ories of Hurricane Wilma from October 2005 stillfresh in many minds.
This will be a critical year for hurricane prepared-ness work in the Keys, as the county, city officials andstate agencies adopt new hurricane evacuation models,which assume an earlier start to evacuation.
Storm prediction models are also going to speed up,with more data being gathered and analyzed than everbefore. How that will impact the decision-makingprocess for emergency managers will be closelywatched this storm season.
Storm-surge predictions will also be closely moni-tored, since even Category 1 and 2 storms can producehigh tides and flooding — witness Hurricane Sandy’sdevastation in New Jersey and parts of New York andConnecticut.
This year, if we’re lucky, the high-pressure systemsthat kept many of last year’s hurricanes well offshoreand headed northward into the open Atlantic Oceanwill repeat their magic touch again.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Cat-astrophe avoidedI was delivering my two cats to Dr. Michael Dunn at
Keys Animal Hospital on Overseas Highway in Marathonfor a checkup when the carrier transporting both cats fellapart as the office assistant held the front door.
Missy, a lovely little female with several feral genes,bolted outside the office as the carrier malfunctioned. Twoassistants immediately ran out of the office, followed by Dr.Dunn, determined to catch the fugitive. “You’ll never catchher,” I said, knowing how nearly impossible it was to catchMissy to put her in the carrier in the first place. But thedetermined doctor and his staff refused to lose an animal ontheir watch.
Missy sped through two parking lots, over a six-foot con-crete fence, over a second fence into a yard that housed twodogs, and then flew out of that yard, choosing to swimacross the canal as the lesser danger.
With the vet staff in hot pursuit and with the help of apassing boater and some friendly backyard neighbors, thefreaked-out feline was netted and gently toted back to theoffice in the arms of Dr. Dunn — a near tragedy turned intoa happy cat tale.

Protect the childrenI recently completed 57 months as a house parent in a
residential care home for foster children in Key West.Comforting little kids crying themselves to sleep, asking for
their mommas, is emotionally wrenching, but part of the job.However, case managers often made it worse, such as the
time one placed a 4-year-old boy in the same bedroom as anunrelated 16-year-old boy. Unfortunately, no Florida legis-lation exists to protect little kids from such an inappropriateage placement while in protective custody. Who will protectthese already vulnerable kids from the living conditions insuch shelters?

Support taxi rulesI would like to thank the Marathon
City Council, particularly GingerSnead and Dick Ramsay, for support-ing taxi regulation in Marathon.
Ever since I opened KeyhopperTransportation Inc. and joined the taxiindustry, I have made several attemptsto get someone to enact a way to gov-ern and carry out the laws required byour state statutes regarding taxis.
There are three major flaws that donot have the public’s best interests inmind that are finally going to beaddressed when the new regulations inMarathon are enacted:
● Finally, taxi companies will haveto provide proof of insurance or finan-cial responsibility in case there is anat-fault accident involving a taxi.Currently there is no one checking ormaking sure the statute is beingenforced.
● There will be no more taxis oper-ating out of their homes; they musthave a legitimate place of businessthat is zoned appropriately.
● Safety is No. 1, and now all driv-ers must possess a Florida driver’slicense registered with the city. Thetaxi operator will also need to registerwith the city, with proof of insurance.
All commercial auto policies inFlorida already do not allow driversunder 26, require a safe-driver checkand must be added to the policy beforethey can drive. The council recom-mends that each driver and vehicle beregistered with the city to provide anadditional safety net.
The problem has always been prop-er insurance to be able to operate inMarathon safely and legitimately.Please support this much-needed ordi-nance in Marathon.

Family Services, together with OurKids Miami-Dade/Monroe, held twoevents to celebrate. The first was inKey West for families living in theLower Keys.
On May 18, the foster parents wholive in the Lower Keys were invited todinner at Key West Harbour for a fab-ulous dinner prepared by ChefEduardo Rodrigues. Guests receivedgift bags filled with wonderful itemsbrought forth by our community.
Eleven of our Lower Keys fosterparents along with representativesfrom Our Kids Miami Dade-Monroeand Wesley House Family Servicesenjoyed a relaxing evening where thegoal was to show our foster parentsthat we truly appreciate all that theydo every day for the foster children inour community.
While our foster parents were attheir event, a simultaneous event wastaking place in Key West, where 18 ofour foster children were being treatedto a pajama jammy jam. Childrenwere invited to come to a fun pajamaparty, watch movies, play games,make gifts for their foster parents andspend time with friends that are expe-riencing similar feelings, emotionsand challenges. This enabled our fos-ter parent group to unwind as theyknew that their children were beingwell cared for, and allowed for a muchneeded break.

Two Marathon taxi drivers chat Thursday while awaiting fares in the Winn-Dixie parking lot.
After months of negativepublicity surrounding bro-ken-down cruise ships andfed-up passengers, the cruiseindustry’s trade groupannounced the adoption of a“Passenger Bill of Rights.”
The 10-item list, releasedlate Wednesday afternoon,specifically addresses issuesthat might arise if a ship suf-fers an emergency or mechan-ical failure. The Cruise LinesInternational Association, withinput from member lines,adopted the list after a pushfrom Democratic Sen. CharlesSchumer of New York.
In March, Schumer sug-gested the cruise industryadopt guarantees similar tothe airline passenger bill ofrights “in response to a stringof horrifying and dangerousincidents aboard internation-al cruise ships.”
The Carnival Triumph inFebruary was left powerlessat sea following a fire. In themonth that followed, threeother Carnival Cruise Linesships had mechanical or steer-ing issues, one that requiredpassengers to be flown homefrom St. Maarten.
Cruise Lines InternationalAssociation public affairsdirector David Peikin said all26 North American membercruise lines have adopted thebill, and members outsideNorth America will followsuit. He said the rights willbecome part of passengers’contracts of carriage and willbe legally enforceable. Whilethe organization said thatmany of the items werealready common practice formember lines, the formaladoption ensures consistencyand communicates the stan-dards to passengers.
“We agreed with SenatorSchumer’s recommendationthat an explicitly stated‘Passenger Bill of Rights’enumerating specific prac-tices regarding passengercomfort and care was a goodway to openly communicatethe industry’s high standardsand provide a clear level ofaccountability,” Peikin said.
Included on the list:● The right to disembark a
docked ship if essential needsaren’t able to be addressed onboard.
● The right to a full refundif a trip is cancelled due tomechanical problems or apartial refund for trips thatare cut short.
● The right for passengersto get timely updates aboutitinerary changes if a mechan-ical failure or emergency dis-rupts a trip, as well as updateson attempts to deal withmechanical problems.
● The right to transporta-tion to the scheduled finalport or a passenger’s homecity if a cruise ends earlybecause of mechanical issues.
● The right to a place tostay if passengers must dis-embark and stay overnight atan unscheduled port.
Other guarantees involvecrew training in emergency andevacuation procedures; havingprofessional emergency med-ical attention available on
oceangoing ships; and emer-gency power if a generatorfails. The list will be includedon each line’s website, whichwill also feature toll-free phonelines for questions.
Miami maritime attorneyCharles Lipcon, who repre-sents passengers and crew inclaims against cruise lines,called the measure “a step inthe right direction.”
“No question about it, thecruise lines have recentlydropped the ball I think in avery, very large way,” he said.“And if they carry through onthis, I think it’s very good.”
He added: “The missingelement here, the reallyimportant thing that’s notreally being discussed, is acrew member bill of rights.”
The Associated Pressreported that Schumer calledthe passenger bill of rights “astep in the right directiontowards increased accounta-bility for the cruise industryand ensuring the safety andwell-being of its passengers.”
In an emailed response, hetold the AP that he still has“many remaining questions,both on the content and howthe bill of rights will beenforced. I will be asking theindustry to respond to a set ofdetailed questions, and willcontinue to insist on changesto ensure the safety and well-being of their passengers.”

Governor approvessales tax holiday
Florida shoppers thisAugust will get to buy com-puters without having to paysales taxes.
Gov. Rick Scott has signedinto law a bill reauthorizingthe state’s popular back-to-school sales tax holiday. Thisyear’s sales tax holiday willtake place from Aug. 2 to 4.
Shoppers will not have topay the state’s 6 percent salestax on clothes worth $75 or
less or on school suppliesworth $15 or less.
But this year’s tax holidayalso has a new twist. Thoselooking for a new computerworth $750 or less also willnot have to pay taxes on theirpurchase during the three-day period.
This tax break also appliesto tablets, laptops, electronicreaders. Shoppers will stillhave to pay taxes on the pur-chase of a cell phone.
— News Service of Florida
The passengerbill of rights is‘a step in theright directiontowards increasedaccountabilityfor the cruiseindustry andensuring thesafety andwell-being ofits passengers.’
—Sen. Charles Schumer
The former chief financeofficer of the Key LargoWastewater TreatmentDistrict pleaded no contest tofelony computer hackingTuesday and was sentencedto one year of probation.
The plea was a settlementstemming from SalZappula’s arrest in March2012 on 13 counts of com-puter crime with intent todefraud, seven counts ofmodifying information with-out authority and one countof deleting information fromthe special taxing district’scomputer system.
Zappulla, 50, must also
pay $420 in court costs, $100to pay for the prosecutionand $100 for the investiga-tion, said DemetriosEfstratiou, supervising attor-ney with the Upper KeysState Attorney’s Office.
Zappulla, who lives inKey West, could not bereached for comment. RayGiglio, general counsel forthe wastewater treatmentdistrict, said he was pleasedwith the outcome of the case.
“It was a very fair settle-ment and resolution,” Gigliosaid. “It was don in the bestinterest of all parties, includ-ing Mr. Zappulla.
Zappulla is accused ofhacking into the wastewaterdistrict’s computer system todownload personnel file andemails. He did this after hiscontract was not renewed.
According to his arrestwarrant, Zappulla admittedto detectives that he down-
loaded the material using thewastewater district’s ITdirector’s generic password.Zappulla reportedly braggedto Detective Robert Doshabout being able to hack intothe system, according toDosh’s affidavit.
Zappulla had a history ofconflict with employersbefore the wastewater districthired him in 2011. He lost hisjob as Monroe County’sbudget director in 2007.
The termination centeredon harshly worded e-mailshe sent on his work comput-er regarding colleagues.After being fired, heappealed and later received a$147,000 settlement fromthe county in April 2008before the matter went to ahearing.
Soon after the wastewaterdistrict hired him, he beganto butt heads with col-leagues. A series of e-mailconversations between dis-trict General ManagerMargaret Blank andZappulla were leaked thatshowed a tense relationshipbetween the two officials.
Asked Wednesday ifBlank was satisfied with theoutcome of the case, sheresponded by e-mail, “Yes,glad it’s over!”

Cab law to get finalized
Taxi regulations initiallyapproved on May 14 are upfor a second hearingTuesday before theMarathon City Council.
After consulting withlocal cab operators PattiHaws and Sheila Wogan, thecity agreed to lower the reg-istration fee under a systemthat will better allow the cityto monitor the companies.
The council agreed toreduce a $500 initial regis-tration to $300 and a $250annual renewal fee to $100twice a year.
A $50 fee per vehicle anddriver, after the first driver,was brought down to $5.That came after Hawsexplained to the council thatdrivers and vehicles are con-stantly in flux.
Cab companies have a his-tory of coming and going inMarathon. There are at leastfive now operating in the city:Island Taxi, On Time Taxi,Bob Gnarley, Keyhopper andTaxi in the Tropics.
Tuesday’s council meet-ing is scheduled to begin at5:30 p.m. at the Marathon
Government Center. Otheragenda items include:
● A resolution finalizing apassive recreation condition-al-use permit for Marathonnonprofit Crane PointMuseum and Nature Center.
The council approvedinstallation of a zip line onMay 14 after a lengthy pub-lic hearing at which numer-ous residents spoke for andagainst the estimated $1.1million attraction. The votewas 4-1, with CouncilmanRich Keating dissenting.
If built, the zip line wouldrun about 2,900 feet on theproperty’s east side, startingat the museum building andending at the Crane house onFlorida Bay.
There would be nine tow-ers, five ground-level land-ing spots and two skybridges, mostly over water.All but two or three of thetowers would be 37 feethigh, the rest 46.25 feet.
The city has secured a$727,000 state CommunityDevelopment Block Grantthrough the Department ofEconomic Opportunity forthe zip line. Opponentsclaim the zip line won’t befinancially viable and the
city would end up on thehook for the money.
The grant was givenbased on Crane Point creat-ing 21 jobs for at least oneyear. Roughly $35,000would have to be paid backto the state for each job notcreated, though Crane Pointhas pledged to cover at leastthe first four if necessary.
● A rather odd request to“allow a demonstration ofborder collies herding sheep.”
The ask is part of St.Columba Episcopal Church’srequest to sell beer and wineat its inaugural Florida KeysCeltic Festival Jan. 10 and11. It would feature livemusical acts and traditionalCeltic festival games.
Organizers of a couple ofother popular Middle Keysevents are also slated tomake requests of the councilon Tuesday.
The Pigeon Key Founda-tion wants to serve beer andwine at its annual PigeonKey Art Festival Feb. 7 to 9at the Marathon CommunityPark, while the MarathonRunners Club is requestingapproval for the running ofthe 33rd annual 7 MileBridge Run on April 5.

In jamboree,Canes on top
There are no real winners,per se, but Coral Shores HighSchool left Thursday’sSpring Jamboree footballgame hosted by MarathonHigh feeling much betterthan its opponents.
The Hurricanes, Dolphinsand Doral Academy playedeach other for one half, withthe Canes earning the “win”against both. They defeatedthe Firebirds, 10-7, andpulled away for a 28-0 victo-ry over the Dolphins.
Doral defeated theDolphins, 26-14.
“I think the guys playedwell and they competed atnew positions and did whatwe asked them to do,” Canescoach Ed Holly said.
The four-hour affair took
place on a hot, muggy day atMarathon High. It didn’ttake long for Doral playersto fall victim to cramps inthe initial Canes-Firebirdsmatchup. At least a halfdozen required medicalattention during the contest.
“We knew it was going tobe hot,” Holly said.
Against Doral, sopho-more Paul Pachey put theCanes on the board first witha 42-yard field goal at the1:39 mark of the first quarter.
The Firebirds respondedwith a drive that featured anumber of nice runs, butpenalties, as well. One Doralplayer jumped offsides threetimes in a row to put the teamin a first-and-25 situation.
But they eventuallyscored on a rollout touch-down pass from nine yardsout to make it 7-3 at the 7:47mark of the second quarter.
From that point on, theCanes were the more fit foot-ball team. While one Firebirdafter another cramped up,Coral Shores drove methodi-
cally down the field.George Jacobsen, Henry
Jacobsen, Eddie Dunn andquarterback Nick Frisone allhad carries on the 11-play,70-yard scoring drive thatput the Canes up 10-7 with1:42 left to play. GeorgeJacobsen scored the touch-down from five yards out.
Coral Shores intercepteda third-down pass attempt onDoral’s final drive thatsecured the victory.
Marathon took on Doralin the next half, with theFirebirds earning the victorydespite continuing to suffercramps throughout.
Doral took a 7-0 leadwith 2:14 remaining in thefirst quarter, but theDolphins responded with a15-play, 70-yard scoringdrive capped by a 32-yardtouchdown pass from MaxElliott to Cooper Chaplin.
The Dolphins missed theextra point and trailed 7-6with 8:10 remaining in thesecond quarter. But Doralscored touchdowns on three
of its next four offensiveplays to put the game out ofreach, 26-6, by the 5:35 mark.

Try some new riffs on tacos
When salsa overtookketchup as America’sfavorite condiment in the1990s you had to know thattaco night wasn’t far behind.
Simple, satisfying andinexpensive, hard or softtacos filled with meat, cheeseand a what-have-you of veg-gies have become a staple forbusy families. Sales of tacoshells, seasonings and otherproducts have grown steadilyover the last decade, says JuvMarchisio, senior marketingmanager for B&G Foods,which owns the Ortega brand,and research suggests thatroughly half of all Americansindulge in tacos at home.
And why not? Tacos offercommunal family dining atits best: There’s no arguing orwhining when can make ithowever they like it.
But the way manyAmericans approach tacos athome — ground beef, pre-shredded “Mexican” cheese,and that ubiquitous kit withshells and a flavor packet —could use a revamp. Sure,you can change it up withwhole-wheat tacos. You cansneak black beans into theground beef. You could evengo the way of the spaghettitaco popularized by thetween TV show “iCarly.”
But for advice on reallytaking your tacos to the nextlevel, we turned to someinnovative chefs and cook-book authors. Here are someof their most delicious andcreative suggestions, norecipes needed.
Persian tacosToss shredded chicken in
a sauce of pomegranatemolasses, lime juice andhoney. Stuff the meat into a
taco shell (or wrap it in aflour tortilla or even MiddleEastern flatbread) and topwith yogurt, fresh basil, mint,scallions, tomato, cucumberand plenty of sumac.
“This is a classic combi-nation of Persian ingredi-ents,” says Louisa Shafia,author of “The New PersianKitchen.” “Crushed purplesumac berries are tart andsalty and a must have forconjuring the authentic flavorof Middle Eastern cuisine.”To go vegetarian, Shafia sug-gests substituting roastedeggplant for the chicken.
Steakhouse tacosSeason a flat-iron steak
with salt and pepper, thensear it on the grill, suggestsWashington, D.C., chefSpike Mendelsohn, whoplans to open a steak fritesrestaurant called Bearnaisethis summer. Wrap thin slicesof the steak and pickled redonions inside a soft corn tacoand serve with warm bear-naise sauce for dipping.
“I love the idea of eating asteak without sharpening myknives,” Mendelsohn said.
India tacosSpices like cumin, corian-
der and chilies are naturalallies in both Mexican andIndian cuisine, says AliLoukzada, chef at NewYork’s Cafe Serai. So what
could be more obvious than achicken tikka taco drizzledwith mint chutney? A palm’sworth of shredded cabbage orradish adds crunch.
“When you’re adaptingIndian flavors to a Mexicandish, the original ingredientsand tastes are still present,”Loukzada said via email. “It’smore of an Indian tweak.”
To go completely native,ditch the taco shell for thecrisp lentil-and-rice crepecalled dosa.
“I Indianize our taco fill-ings at home all the time,”Rohini Dey, owner of theVermillion restaurant in NewYork and Chicago, says. At herrestaurants, Dey offers a dosa-taco bar, where Latin fillingssuch as anchovies, avocado,chorizo and Michoacan beefare offered alongside thespiced potato stuffing tradi-tionally used in dosa.
Chutneys of mint, coconutand tamarind — typicalMexican as well as Indian fla-vors — line the toppings bar.“By confining the chili to thechutneys instead of the fill-ing, it’s easy for the family totailor to each person’s spicetolerance,” Dey writes.
Pig in a tacoStick a pork tenderloin in
the slow cooker until it practi-cally melts, suggests MarieSimmons, author of the newcookbook, “Taste of Honey.”
Shred the meat, then toss itwith a sweet-spicy barbecuesauce made by simmeringhoney, chipotle pepperspacked in adobo sauce,ketchup, soy sauce, cumin,chili powder, garlic and a swigof cider vinegar for about 10minutes, or until thick.
“I just love the deep, spicytaste of sticky glazed pork,”Simmons says. Top the tacowith avocado, thinly slicedradishes and a shredded jica-ma-and-carrot slaw dressedwith chopped cilantro andlime juice.
For vegetariansWell, duh! No taco line up
is complete without a recipefrom California.
Santa Barbara-based foodand garden blogger ValerieRice (Eat Drink Garden) useslentils as the base for hertaco, simmering them withtomato, garlic, red pepper,and a dash each of cumin andsmoked paprika. The lentilsget packaged in a soft corntortilla and topped with itemssuch as roasted tomatillosalsa and guacamole.
“My first go-round withthese I wasn’t sure how itwould go over with my meat-loving husband and sometimespicky daughters,” Rice wrotein an email. “But they were atotal hit and now are part ofour dinnertime rotation.”

● Do not lean over a bar-becue grill when igniting.
● When lighting a gas grill,the lid should always be open.
● Gas or charcoals grillsshould never be usedindoors; they are outdoorcooking appliances.
● Every time a refilledpropane tank is reconnectedto the barbecue, the hose con-nection should be checkedfor leaks.
● Always use heat-resist-ant barbecue mitts or glovesand long-handled tools.
● When done cooking,cover the charcoal grill andclose all vents. Turn a gasgrill off at the burners and the
gas source.For grilling maintenance:● Preheat the grill on high
every time you use it.● After pre-heating, use
crumpled foil to loosen andclean away any gray ash orleftover residue on the cook-ing grates.
● After removing the foodfrom the cooking grate, turnburners back to high and
burn any stuck-on food offfor 10 to 15 minutes.
● After each use, use abrass-bristle grill brush orcrumpled foil to loosen andclean residue on the cookinggrate.
● Remove accumulatedashes from charcoal grillsfrequently.
● Clean both the inner andthe outer drip pan of a gasgrill frequently
● Once a year, clean theinside of the grill with warm,soapy water.

You have A/C optionsDear EarthTalk: I want to
upgrade my home’s A/C.Which are the most energy-saving models and should I gocentral air or window units?
-Jackie Smith, Cary, N.C.
According to the AmericanCouncil for an EnergyEfficient Economy, energyconsumption for home air con-ditioning units accounts formore than eight percent of allthe electricity produced in theU.S., at a cost to homeownersof $15 billion annually.
Besides the cost, all thiscooling leads to annual emis-sions of about 195 milliontons of CO2-or two tons peryear for each American homewith A/C.
Of course, foregoing A/Centirely is the most energy-and cost-efficient way to go,but some of us — especiallyin the Florida Keys — need alittle cooling for comfort,especially in warmer cli-mates. If A/C is a must, buy-ing the most efficient modelis the way to save money andpollute less.
Fortunately, a new genera-tion of much more efficientroom and central A/C unitsmeans that upgrading will like-ly pay for itself in energy sav-ings within just a few years.
The main factors to con-sider in choosing a newmodel are cooling capacity(measured in British ThermalUnits, or BTUs) and Energy-Efficiency Ratio, or EER. Todetermine the correct BTUrating for a given space, mul-tiply the square footage by 10and then add 4,000.Meanwhile, a given unit’sEER is the ratio of coolingoutput divided by power con-sumption-the higher theEER, the more efficient theair conditioner.
According to the U.S.Department of Energy, nation-al appliance standards requireroom air conditioners to havean EER of 8.0 to 9.8 or more,depending on type and capac-ity. Units with an EER ratingof 10 or above typically quali-fy for the federal govern-ment’s ENERGY STAR label,
which appears on especiallyenergy-efficient appliances.Check out the ENERGYSTAR website for lists ofqualifying A/C models.
The Association of HomeAppliance Manufacturers(AHAM) says that the aver-age EER of room A/C unitsrose 47 percent from 1972 to1991. To wit, replacing anolder room unit with an EERof five with a new model withan EER of 10) would result ina 50 percent energy cost sav-ings associated with A/C.
As to whether room unitsor central A/C makes moresense, it depends. Roomunits, which only cost a fewhundred dollars each, willsuffice for renters or thosewho only need to keep one ortwo rooms cool at a time.
Meanwhile, central A/C ismore efficient overall atkeeping a whole house cool,and will also do a better jobat reducing householdhumidity than even severalindividual room units-andwill save more money fasteron electricity bills. But with astarting price of around$4,000 for the condenser andinitial set-up (plus any ductwork needed to distributecool air around a home), cen-tral A/C isn’t for everyone.
ACEEE points out thatthere are ways to keep indoorspace cooler without A/C:Improving insulation, sealingair gaps, getting rid of oldappliances and light bulbsthat give off lots of heat, run-ning fans, using cooler colorson exterior roofing and paint,and other strategies.
Those in particularly aridclimates might also considerinstalling a swamp cooler(which cools outside air byrunning it over cold water) asa cheaper alternative to A/C.
By following these sugges-tions and upgrading conscien-tiously, we can all stay a littlemore comfortable in our warm-ing world without exacerbatingthe problem too much.

‘A Sea Change’raises the alarm
Imagine a world withoutfish.
It’s the frightening prem-ise of an award-winningdocumentary, “A SeaChange,” which will beshown Saturday, June 8, atthe Marathon PowerSquadron, 52nd Street, gulf,in Marathon.
Sponsored by SanctuaryFriends Foundation of theFlorida Keys, the screeningis in honor of World Oceans Day.
The documentary chroni-cles retired history teacherSven Huseby on his quest to
discover what is happen-ing to the world’s oceans.
His journey takes him toAlaska, California,Washington, and Norway ashe uncovers a worldwide cri-
sis, one that most people areunaware is even happening.
Speaking with oceanog-raphers, marine biologists,climatologists, and artists,Sven discovers that globalwarming is only half thestory of the environmentalcatastrophe.
Excess carbon dioxide isdissolving in our oceans,changing seawater chem-istry. The more acidic watermakes it difficult for tinycreatures at the bottom ofthe food web to form theirshells. The effects couldwork their way up the foodchain, imperiling fish popu-lations that one billion peo-ple depend upon for theirsource of protein.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.The film is free. Popcornand drinks will be availablefor a small donation.

This spider’s thread becomes art on canvas
Artist Jim Toia is alwaysrunning through spiderwebs - on purpose.
It’s one form of art thathe says links to nature andinvites viewers to see thingsdifferently.
“You can often find Toiaup with the sun, exploringnooks and spaces inhabitedby the island’s crab spi-ders,” notes the curator ofToia’s work, which will beon exhibit at the LuckyStreet Gallery through June.
“Unlike most, he does
not sweep their webs to oneside. He delicately, gently,stains the arachnid home,and then marches through it- canvas and all.”
Toia, who recentlymoved to Key West, alsouses jellyfish in other visualdesigns.
His encounters with KeyWest’s fauna produced“Flagler’s Nemesis,” “TheDetermined Mr. Fuller,” and“Pillow for Surrender,”among other works on dis-play.
The Lucky Street Galleryis located at 540 Greene St,on the corner of Greene andSimonton. For more infor-mation, call 294-3973.

On the growth continuumbetween seeds and matureplants, microgreens lie some-where on the newly arrivedside, between sprouts andbaby vegetables.
These teensiest ofseedlings, with delicatetranslucent stems that bear ahint of true leaf forms, canpack a surprisingly powerfuland nutrient-rich flavorpunch. They’re also a quickand easy way to garden,because microgreens may begrown from seed during anyseason. Just plant them inflats by a sunny window; ina little more than two weeks,they’re ready.
Their cheery colors andconcentrated taste make theman eye-catching garnish andtangy topping for salads andsoups. Purple basil, crimsonbeet and creamy whitestemmed pak choi areyummy delights that havebeen discovered by chefs atbetter restaurants, andsourced from local producers
to meet specific menu needs.Spicy greens such as mus-
tard and radish, pungentherbs such as basil, fenneland cilantro, and othermicroveggies “have great fla-vor and a great look on theplate,” says chef OuitaMichel of Midway’s HollyHill Inn in Woodford County,Ky. “If something needs aspark and a splash of vibran-cy, I typically go for themicrogreens.” Michel servesmicrogreens as an edible gar-nish, as a base for variousdishes and in salads.
Many vegetables andherbs work well as micro-greens, including amaranth,mustard, kale, carrot, sweetpeas, basil, cilantro andparsley. These littleseedlings are highly perish-able once harvested, but ifgrown at home, they aresimple to snip and enjoyfresh at a moment’s notice.
Using Eric Franks andJasmine Richardson’s refer-ence book “Microgreens: AGuide to Growing Nutrient-Packed Greens” (GibbsSmith, $24.99), I tried grow-ing microgreens this month,with great success.
Here is a step-by-stepguide:
● You’ll need a seed-start-
ing tray, with a fitted trans-parent cover, and some plant-ing medium, both of whichcan be found at big-boxstores and garden centers.Clean, sterile supplies willhelp avoid introducing con-taminants and diseases thatcan infect fragile seedlings.
I bought three Jiffy SeedStarter kits, complete withtrays of 50 peat pots, a plas-tic base tray and a cleardome; each tray measuresabout 16 by 10 inches, andabout 2.5 inches deep. A 10-quart bag of Burpee’s organ-ic seed starting mix madefrom coir, or coconut huskfiber, was enough to fill allthree trays. My total expensewas about $20.
● Decide which types of
seed to grow. My favorites arebeets, because the stems are abright red and they have anearthy taste; cilantro and basil,because of the surprisinglyintense flavor of the micro-greens; and pak choi, orChinese cabbage, for theheart-shaped cotyledon leaves.
Do not use seeds that havebeen treated with pesticides orother chemicals. I chose anassortment of mostly organicvarieties at local garden shops,which added up to about $15.Johnny’s Selected Seeds has agardener-friendly catalog atJohnnyseeds.com.
● Fill the trays with thestarter mix, then lightly tampit down and level it off.Sprinkle seeds close togetheratop the planting mix,
depending on how denselyyou want your microgreensto grow. Ignore the packetdirections for plant spacingbecause your plants will getnowhere near fully mature.
● Cover the seeds with asingle layer of paper towel toaid in moisture retention forgerminating seeds, thenwater the starter mix andseeds through the paper untildamp but well-drained.
Cover the tray with theplastic dome lid, and place itin a sunny, warm window. Ina few days, you’ll see thegreens begin to peek out.Meanwhile, keep the soil andpaper towels damp.
● Once the sprouts areabout an inch tall, gentlyremove the paper towels and
lids, being careful theseedlings do not stick to thepaper. Keep watering, butsprinkle the water gently soyou don’t knock over themicrogreens.
● The first true leaves willemerge a few days after aninitial pair of seed leaves.That means it’s time to har-vest your micro crop. Gatherthem just before you want touse them by snipping off thestems close to the soil. If youthin out the seedlings to onlyone or two per peat pot andlet them grow longer, you’llhave transplants for your out-door garden.

The day was planned months prior andseemed like a good idea at the time.
Leave at a comfortable 8:30 a.m. from theHurricane Hole on Stock Island in our 35-foot SeaHunter, head west and spearfish thecap rock on the reef. My clients, Don Watersand Ferguson McMahon from Miami, hadbeen doing it for years and really just wantedme in a “Driving Miss Daisy” situation.
As we made our way west, the seas laydown and the visibility became perfect.Circling my physically well-maintainedAARP members, I noticed a lack of excite-ment and results from their planned free-diving and spearfishing event. Frankly, theywere a little cold and not seeing much in 15to 20 feet depths south of the Marquesas.
As they rolled back in the center consolethe seventh or eighth time out of what theycalled the empty cold depths of the normallyfertile western waters of the Florida Keys Isaid, “Let’s go offshore and find the littlegreen monsters.” I had the boat loaded withexcess bait and rods from the prior day’scharter so we were ready to make the wiggle.
My plan was to find a school of dolphin formy spearfishermen. Rolling out to 600 feet ofwater was less than seven miles from our lastdive; within 15 minutes, we were in the zone.Dolphin fishing was at a fevered pitch off-shore of Key West, which is normal andsomething we all anticipate with smiles everyMay, so confidence was high. All I neededwas one school of fish to get these guys going.
The higher-speed artificials were readyto go. The first batch of birds were doingexactly what birds do when they are work-ing a school of dolphin. They were circling,
dipping and moving slow-ly around the weed patch-es, forcing our confidencefactor past cocky. Layingout the baits was quick andall four were bubbling saltin perfect unison.
One, two, three andthen the fourth rod bent.Two clients and four rodsdoubled meant anunmanned helm, one
motor in gear and slowly turning to star-board routine was in order, allowing me tohelp the boys in the chaos. The fish werefrom 22 inches to just over 30 inches, so wedeemed the deck only in “controlled chaos.”
The first fish was brought close to the boatand the rod was set in the mid-ship starboardholder as the dolphin swam with the boat. Thesecond rod was set in the next holder, withnow two fish swimming next to us. Addingtwo more would make the school complete.
Four dolphin swimming next to the boatat staggered lengths made a small schoolthat kept the other fish around. I yelled,“Grab your gear and go swimming with theschool!” My crew didn’t jump quite asquick as I thought they would.
Spearfishing in the deep blue has alwaysbeen one of my favorite pastimes and I justnaturally assumed everyone would love itjust as much. Waters and Ferguson hadalways been in the water where they couldsee the bottom; only on rare occasions hadthey been in the abyss.
At 70 years old, Waters was the first tojump, followed shortly by the younger
Ferguson. The whole attitude changed as thespearfisherman slid through the fertile bluewater and within minutes, Don was back atthe boat with a perfect shot on a nice-sizedand manageable dolphin.
The little green monsters saved the day.
Dolphin in May� Head south past the reef looking for birds
with, special consideration at the 350-foot and650-foot ledges. Watch for terns birds orfrigates that circle and move at a throttledspeed. The fast birds are usually on tuna.
� Run all artificials tight to the transomextending out past your white water andhave jigs as pitch baits for easy catch-and-release, with a bag of majua (small baits) atthe ready to keep the school close.
� Approach the circling birds and payspecial attention as they start to head towardthe lures. You may catch a glimpse of thedolphin as they come into your spread.
� After the first fish eats and the rodbends, keep the boat moving forward so theother rods can join in.
� Leave the first fish in the water and ifyou can, leave a few extra (one is cool butfour is a school). Tossing handfuls of majuakeeps them eating.
Dolphin fishing in the Keys is a pleasureand readily available above the water andbelow the water, allowing you more timewith family and friends on the water.
