Ferro judge warns of mistrialKey West police

Detective Janeth Del-CidCalvert received a firmadmonishment from ChiefMonroe County CircuitCourt Judge David AudlinTuesday during the ongoingsecond-degree murder trialof Nicholas Ferro.

Calvert’s a witness for

the prosecution. Twice dur-ing responses to questionsfrom prosecutor BreezyeTelfair, she made referenceto Ferro and his friends’ pre-vious encounters with police— drawing quick objectionsfrom the father/son defenseteam of Ed O’Donnell Sr.and Ed O’Donnell Jr.

The second time, Audlinexcused the eight-personjury (six jurors and two

alternates) from the maincourtroom at the FreemanJustice Center in Key West,sternly telling Calvert thather statements were prejudi-cial and could result in a“mistrial.”

Ferro, 25, of Hollywoodin Broward County, is

charged with stabbing todeath Key Wester MarqueseButler on Oct. 31, 2009, justoff Duval Street during theannual Fantasy Fest during alarge, chaotic street fight.

The defense contendsFerro stabbed Butler in self-defense. Prosecutors Telfair

and Miesha Darrough sayFerro was the instigator.

Attorneys from both sidesweighed in on whether tellingthe jury to ignore Calvert’sspecific testimony wouldserve to clear the matter up orjust make matters worse.

“It’s not enough to saydisregard that testimony,”O’Donnell Sr. told Audlin.He wanted Calvert’s remarksstricken from the record.

Said Telfair: “Bringing itback up [just] will highlightit to the jury.”

Audlin sided with thedefense, telling jurors:“Completely disregard thelast statement from this wit-ness. It shall play no part inyour deliberation.”

Calvert recalled that sheinterviewed Ferro and his

Clerk mighthave to shutsome offices

Monroe County ClerkDanny Kolhage says a $30million statewide cut thestate Legislature approvedFriday as part of a $70 billionbudget for 2012-13 couldhave wide-ranging effects onhis office’s operations.

Kolhage said he’s send-ing Assistant Clerk MarvaGreen to an “emergencymeeting” of all 67 Floridacounty clerk offices today inTampa to discuss how thecut will impact Monroe.Kolhage’s office employs 54people.

“I won’t know anythingfor sure until that meeting,”he said.

“We’re at the point now

where services in our officeswill be seriously impactedand we might even have toconsider closing [offices]somewhere, furloughs, shortweeks or something likethat. But I can’t speculateright now,” Kolhage said.

Three years ago, theFlorida Legislature createdtwo separate trust funds tofinance the legal system andthe clerk’s offices. Filingfees fund them instead ofeach receiving money fromthe state’s general budget.

Court officials werealready concerned that rev-enue generated from fees forvarious legal filings arebeing relied on to covermost of the clerk’s $3.3 mil-lion in fiscal year 2011-12.

“In 2009, we had majorcuts. I eliminated 11employees between 2009and now. This is anothervery serious cut; I just don’tknow exactly what it willbe,” Kolhage said.

Cemetery takes a star turn

The idyllic 19-acre KeyWest Cemetery, a morbidlypleasant respite from thedense residential neighbor-hoods of Old Town, housesmore than a dozen genera-tions of past island denizens.

On March 24, the Friendsof the Historic Key WestCommittee will host aCemetery Stroll, completewith guided gravesite toursand curators knowledgeableon tales of the deceased, tocommemorate the burialground’s 165th anniversary.

Perhaps the most famous

gravesite there is a crypt thatsays: “I told you I was sick.”But that’s not the only one ofnote.

Gravesites to be visitedinclude those of GeorgeAdderley; Mary and RosaNavarro; Frank Booth; Los

Martires de Cuba; Sen. JohnMaloney Spottswood; JessePorter Newton; WilliamCurry; Piedad de Ayala;Thomas Romer; and the U.S.Battleship Maine Memorial.

The Maine exploded inHavana Harbor on Feb. 15,1898, killing 260 Americansailors and leading to theSpanish American War.About two dozen of thoselost are interred in Key West.

The monument to LosMartires de Cuba, or Cubanmartyrs, honors those whodied attempting to free Cubafrom Spanish rule during theTen Years War ending in1878. The revolution wasultimately successful in1898. Antonio Diaz yCarrasco, who served asCuban consul from 1903 to

The Key West Cemetery has a lot of history — and somefunkiness. One of the gravesites marks the deceased withthe following:‘I told you I was sick.’Another says:‘Devotedfan of Julio Iglesias.’

County attorneyis set to retire

Monroe County AttorneySuzanne Hutton will retireon Oct. 31 after 22 years inthe Keys and more than sixyears in that office’s top job.

“It’s time for me to makea change in my life and it’sprobably time for theCounty Attorney’s Office tomake a change,” she said.

It appears that changewill be seamless, as Huttonand Monroe County com-missioners polled by theKeynoter voiced support forlongtime Chief AssistantCounty Attorney BobShillinger to take the reins.

“They won’t find some-one with his experience and

credentials who has hiswealth of knowledge [aboutthe Keys], so I don’t see howthey could do any better,”Hutton said.

The commission is slatedto discuss whether to con-duct a statewide or nation-wide search for her succes-sor at the March 21 CountyCommission meeting inMarathon.

“I figured that the agendaitem would prompt the dis-cussion. They’ve asked if wehave to go out and do asearch and there’s no legalrequirement for them to dothat,” Hutton said.

Hutton, a Miami native,was appointed county attor-ney in May 2006. Beforemoving to the Keys, sheworked for the city ofBaltimore Department ofLaw for seven years and asan assistant attorney general

“I’ve got many years inworking and it’s time for me todo something else,” she said.

Shillinger has been withthe county since December2000 and been chief assistantsince April 2006. He workedfor the Monroe County StateAttorney’s Office for fiveyears prior to that.

“I’m interested in theposition, but it’s up to theCounty Commission howthey want to proceed,” hesaid. “Suzanne will definite-ly be missed. She’s a wealthof experience and institu-tional memory.”

Com-missioner GeorgeNeugent said he’d be“shocked if the baton wasn’thanded” to Shillinger.

Hutton has “done an

e x c e l l e n tjob. We allget to apoint whereit’s time tomove onand I guessthat she’sthere,” hesaid. “I’d be

very happy with [Shillinger]taking that position.”

Fellow commissionersagreed.

“I hate it that Suzanne isleaving; think of the historythat’s going with her. She’s agood person and a goodfriend,” CommissionerSylvia Murphy said, addingher endorsement forShillinger.

“I think he will quite ablyfill her shoes since they’veworked together severalyears. I think it would be aseamless transition,” she said.

Mayor David Rice saidhe doesn’t expect the com-mission to conduct a searchfor Hutton’s replacement.

“I don’t know why wewouldn’t go with him,” he said.

Commissioner KimWigington stopped short ofan endorsement before theboard discusses it nextweek, but praised the cama-raderie in the CountyAttorney’s Office.

“If they were choosingpartners in a private prac-tice, they’d choose oneanother. To bring someonenew in, I would have to havesome really good reasons tosay we would want to go outfor a nationwide search,”she said.

Port Inspector StephenMallory, in archived docu-ments, described the scene:“The effects of the hurri-cane were terrible.

“He basically tells me hedoesn’t know how the fightstarted,” Calvert testified.“He saw his friend [Averoff]getting kicked and punchedby a lot of people.” She said

Ferro said the incidentbegan “when local guysstarted to pick a fight.”

Based on her secondinterview and facts she hadgathered in the interim,Calvert said, “It appearedNicholas Ferro had moreinvolvement in the fightthan he initially stated.”

She described Reyes’demeanor as “agitated, nerv-ous ... just not calm at all.”When Calvert informedReyes of Butler’s death, she

said Reyes drew a picture ofthe knife Ferro was carryingthat night.

Averoff confirmed instatements to police that hehad seen Ferro with a knifeat their Days Inn hotel room.

Ferro is also the defen-dant in a civil case broughtby the Butler family filed inOctober 2011 in BrowardCounty Circuit Court.

The trial is expected tocontinue for the rest of theweek.

Medicaid lawnow goes to Scott

The state House andSenate gave finalapproval Friday to a billexpected to cost MonroeCounty taxpayers anextra $800,000 per yearon questionable Medicaidbilling for Keys residentsif Gov. Rick Scott signsit.

The state Agency forHealth CareAdministration adminis-ters the state Medicaidprogram and bills coun-ties for their portion of apatient’s costs. Monroe isresponsible for its ownresidents, but the billsoften contain question-able addresses.

While AHCA believescounties don’t pay theirfair share of requiredpayments, the countiesfeel the billing system isseverely flawed.

According to theNews Service of Florida,the bill (HB 530)includes a five-year planfor the state to recoupmoney from deniedclaims from previousyears. An AHCA spread-sheet estimates Monroe’sportion could be $2.79million, while statewidethat number is $271 mil-lion.

Counties would berequired to pay an esti-mated $70.5 million inextra payments duringthe 2012-13 fiscal

year.The House vote was

73-36 to approve the bill,while the Senateapproved it by a 23-17vote.

The FloridaAssociation of Countieshas been an outspokenopponent of the bill.Spokeswoman CraginMosteller told theKeynoter the groupplans to send Scott a let-ter urging him to vetothe bill.

“It’s more than cost-ing the counties money.We think it’s an unfund-ed mandate. This is anexample of a policy thatgives government a badname,” she said.

Mosteller said FACofficials would meet withtheir membershipThursday to discuss thenext step. “We’re mem-ber-driven, so we’ll takeour lead from them,” shesaid.

Monroe County SocialServices Director SherylGraham calculated the$800,000 estimate byadding up the exact num-ber of dollars the statebilled the county last yearversus what it declined topay.

Monroe provided theKeynoter with numerousexamples of questionablebills it denied in previousyears, including billswith Miami addresses,others with post officebox numbers and otherswith no street address atall.

The bill started out inthe Senate (SB 1988)before being substitutedfor HB 5301.

STATE LEGISLATURE

Keynoter photo by SEAN KINNEY

During the Cemetery Stroll, participants are sure to get apretty good history lesson about Key West.

Saunders aide considers House run

It’s perhaps the oddestpolitical relationship in theKeys: State Rep. RonSaunders, the Democraticminority leader of the stateHouse, and his chief legisla-tive aide, Holly Raschein, aprecinct leader with theMonroe County RepublicanExecutive Committee.

Since 2006 — whenSaunders basically inheritedRaschein from RepublicanKen Sorensen, who hadterm-limited out — the rela-tionship has worked well.

Now, Raschein is lookingto fill Saunders’ shoes if, asexpected, he decides againstrunning for another term as

the District 120 representa-tive and instead goes for stateSenate District 40.

“I’m strongly consideringgoing for his seat,” she said.“I feel like I’ve been groom-ing myself for this.”

If she does, and wins, itwould be a replay from 1994.That’s when then-Saundersaide Debbie Horan ran for hisseat when he was term-limit-ed out his first go-around inthe House. Horan, aDemocrat, won and servedtwo two-year terms.

Saunders’ only announcedopponent for his seat is for-mer Key West MayorMorgan McPherson, aRepublican.

Raschein, 31, is a nine-year Keys resident and grad-uate of Florida StateUniversity, majoring in polit-ical science. She and her hus-band Ryan, who ownsMilestone Shutters in KeyLargo, recently had a baby.

She says if she runs, “It’sgoing to be something differ-ent, shifting from staff to can-didate. I just feel like it’s anatural fit. I feel like the tim-ing is right.”

She says her contacts inTallahassee would be a bigplus for Keys residents sincea state representative spendslots of time helping con-stituents rather than justattending the two-month leg-islative session every spring.

“Constituent service.Sure, Tallahassee is a big partof the job but the job is alsohelping people navigate gov-ernment, and I have a ton ofcontacts,” she said.

As for Saunders, he saidFriday that “I’m probablyleaning more toward [aSenate run]. Now that thecourt has ruled [that somenewly drawn Senate mapsare invalid], I know this dis-trict isn’t one of the eight dis-tricts declared invalid.”

Overall, lawmakers didn’t do much this session

Going into the once-a-decade redistricting sessionwhile starting it with a budg-et deficit, the conventionalwisdom was that not muchelse would get done by theFlorida Legislature this year.

With the need to cutspending and the difficulty ofredrawing political bound-aries — always a tough bal-ancing act fraught with morechallenge this year becauseof two new constitutionalamendments that said it hadto be done without takingparty politics into account —the opening of the annualsession year came with thepromise of acrimony, in-fighting and some painfullessons about who every-one’s friends were.

In the end, as predicted,lawmakers didn’t do a wholelot during their annual ses-sion that ended Friday (aspecial session on redistrict-ing starts today) that willresonate through the ages.

There will be a new poly-technic university, and soon-er than originally thought,which is a pretty big change.And there was a continuationof a move away from harsherpenalties for drug crimes andtoward more treatment, butthat has been subtle and partof a running continuum ofshifting thought.

Hundreds of bills passedand many of them will dovery important things. Somewere a huge deal to particu-lar constituencies.

Insurance companies,which have wanted toreduce payouts in the per-sonal injury protection no-fault auto insurance system,were successful in finallyseeing a revamp of thatfraud-riddled system pass.

For Gov. Rick Scott, it wasa good session too — thoughhe had a modest agenda.

He saw lawmakers putback some of the moneythey cut from the educationbudget last year, which hehad demanded they do. Andhe got the PIP reform hewanted, having made savingmoney on car insurance hismajor talking point. Butmostly, it was a session ofdeclining to do big things.

The biggest talk of thesession early on was aboutthe prospect for new casinogambling — something thatcould have brought enor-mous and long-lastingchange in the very characterof the state. But in the end,what happens in Las Vegasstayed in Las Vegas (and a lotof other places these days),with lawmakers failing topass any kind of majorchange in the gaming laws tolet people take more chanceson the turn of a wheel.

The big proposal to allowresort casinos wasn’t the onlygambling issue that went bust.

Lawmakers also rejecteda Senate leadership effort toprivatize a large number ofprisons, including the BigPine Road Prison, with theSenate narrowly votingagainst the idea after a cob-bled-together coalition ofRepublicans with differentobjections joined Democratsin saying it was a bad idea.

But while the conven-tional wisdom that few big-picture ideas would advancewas correct, the way inwhich a number of big itemscame to fail was new.

Normally, if ideas don’tbecome law, one of threethings happens: They’repassed but vetoed by the gov-ernor; they become law butare thrown out by the courts;or they simply quietly fadeaway as their backers realizethere just isn’t the momen-tum to get them done.

In all three of these ways,they usually live on, quietlybelow the surface. Then comeattempts through the years toget them done, often incre-mentally over time. Or theyreturn when elections havechanged the landscape a bit.

They rarely flame out inhigh-profile floor or com-mittee votes in which leader-ship is made to look like itisn’t, well, leading. But

that’s what happened thisyear in the Senate.

On several occasions thissession, many times on par-ticularly closely watchedissues, the leaders in theSenate couldn’t get theiragenda passed.

That wasn’t how theysaw it. Senate PresidentMike Haridopolos (R-Melbourne) said on a num-ber of occasions, that he wasall about “free will” and thatwhatever the Senate did wasthe way it was going to beand that was fine with him.

The weird thing about thecurrent leaders — both inthe Senate and House — isthey’ve professed not tohave much of an agenda, tobe interested mostly indoing what the members oftheir respective bodies wantto do. Some might arguethat makes them not leaders,but followers.

In addition to losing onprison privatization, Senateleaders couldn’t pass a billto make it easier for parentsto change failing publicschools into charter schools.There were others losses forleadership, as well —including on amendmentssuch as failing to prevent theSenate and House fromwatering down a bill dealingwith shrinking CitizensProperty Insurance Co.

Meanwhile, on the otherside of the Capitol, HouseSpeaker Dean Cannon (R-Winter Park) was quietlyefficient. In fact, the Housethis year was strangely dull,while the Senate insisted onfinding new ways to muckup the calendar and fightwith itself. The Housepassed measures comingfrom the Senate, what few

measures it received, withlittle of the infighting on dis-play in the upper chamber.

The House also managedto draw an election redistrict-ing plan that the stateSupreme Court said is OK,unlike the Senate, which drew

a Senate map that the courtfound rife with problems.Hence, the special session.

As for the $70 billionbudget, leaving the budget tobe debated on the final nightof the legislative session isfairly common — but

deprives the public a chanceto really soak up debate onthe spending plan.

Budget writers on bothsides of the Capitol willclaim victory this year

because they managed tokeep true to the central guid-ing philosophy of theRepublican Party — aboveeverything else, don’t raisetaxes.

Job change for Gentile?

If the Monroe CountySchool Board approves a jobchange recommended bySuperintendent Jesus Jara,Chief Internal Auditor KenGentile could become the dis-trict’s first-ever chief of staff.

Jara pitched the idea tothe board at a Tuesdayworkshop in Key West;before it’s official, therewill have to be a board vote.

The move comes in thewake of a lousy prelimi-nary state audit released inFebruary by the FloridaAuditor General’s Office.Jara told the board he does-n’t need an auditor pointingout problems, but a dedi-cated employee working tofix problems.

“I feel very confidentthat there’s no fraud in thisdistrict,” Jara said. “It’sclear that we need some-body that’s going to help usimplement processes andprocedures and put thingsin place in the district tohelp us move in the rightdirection.”

Gentile was brought inon a three-year, $122,000annual contract in April2010, to help clean up thefinancial mess left by for-mer Superintendent RandyAcevedo, who was convict-ed on three felony counts ofofficial misconduct andbooted out of office by then-Gov. Charlie Crist in 2009.His wife Monique Acevedo,a former district administra-tor, is serving an eight-yearprison term for stealing

from $400,000 the district.Jara said Gentile’s

immediate goal is toaddress the audit findings,then “start helping in sup-port of the administrationin matters that are on thejob description.”

Among the dutiesdescribed: Monitor depart-ment budgets and ensurealignment with the districtstrategic plan; help developa system of compensationthat will attract, retain andencourage employees;develop self assessmentand internal compliancesystems; act as a liaison tothe advisory Audit andFinance Committee; and“other duties as assigned bythe superintendent.”

There will be no changein Gentile’s contract lengthor salary.

State auditors reportedone “material weakness”— the most damning find-ing an audit can contain —and 14 other problems,including improper finan-cial reporting, and prob-lems with gasoline use andfood-service payments andpayroll processing — allrepeats of findings fromprevious years.

The material weaknesshad to do with the district’sannual financial report,something prepared by aconsultant at a cost of$14,500.

“A lot of what I do isgoing to look and feel thesame,” Gentile said. “Idon’t want you to thinkthere’ll be this overnighttransformation.”

Board member RobinSmith-Martin said the newjob needs to bring “moreelbow grease. Hopefully it’smore getting in the trenchesand executing than opining”

NEWS BRIEFS

Two admit guilt inlobster conspiracy

Big Coppitt Key residentsMichael Kimbler, 44, andMichael Bland, 31, pleadedguilty Monday to conspiringto illegally harvest spiny lob-ster from artificial habitat inthe Florida Keys NationalMarine Sanctuary,

Sanctuary regulationsdon’t allow artificial habitatsto be placed in the water tolure lobsters.

Kimbler and Bland enteredtheir pleas in Key West beforeU.S. District Judge James

Lawrence King, who set sen-tencing for June 19 at 1:30 p.m.Both face up to five years inprison and fines up to$250,000.

The plea agreements alsorequire the immediate surren-der of the navigation equip-ment and location data for alltheir artificial habitats, alongwith the forfeiture of two ves-sels and related tackle, equip-ment and trailers.

The two admitted they wereinvolved in the illegal harvestof spiny lobster over a multi-year period, extending from asearly as April 2007 throughabout September 2011.

For a property with a $12million price tag, you wouldprobably expect luxury —even in the pricey FloridaKeys. Think again.

Owner Bob Williforddescribes his 1.4-acre estate— East Sister Rock, just offSombrero Beach in Marathon— with a three-bedroom,two-bath Bahamian stylehome and one-bedroomguesthouse as “a rustic vaca-tion place where you cancome and charge up your bat-teries. It’s not fancy like stay-ing at Trump Plaza, but it is aplace where you can get awayfrom everything.”

Actress Delta Burke hasstayed there. NineteenCubans in a yellow bananaboat have landed there.Visiting manatees, spiny lob-sters, nurse sharks and fouriguanas find it paradise.

And even though theMonroe County propertyappraiser determined theproperty’s total market valuefor 2011 was only $1,017,392,Realtor Marvin Arrieta withCentury 21 Premier EliteRealty in Coral Gables said$12 million is the “right priceto start on this sell.” The mainreason: It’s a private island.

“The ocean is all aroundyou,” Arrieta said of EastSister Rock. “This is a veryunique property. We need aunique buyer.”

Chris Krolow, CEO ofToronto-based Private IslandsInc., said there are only about550 private islands for salearound the world right now,and only 60 percent of themcan be purchased outright.The others are in the “lease-hold category” — whichmeans a buyer purchases per-mission to use an island fromthe government.

“But that does not fit inwith the typical island buyerwho wants an island to showoff,” Krolow said. “This ismy island.”

Most island buyers areentrepreneurs and Americans,Krolow said. But PatriciaDelinois, CEO of Century 21Premier Elite Realty and 2012President of the MiamiAssociation of Realtors, saidEast Sister Rock has beenreceiving a lot of interest inter-nationally. Inquiries have come

from people in China, India,Europe and South America.

Island inventory always isat a premium. There are1,700-plus islands that makeup the Florida Keys, but mostare pristine. And with today’sstrict environmental laws,new development permits areunlikely for most. Only 34offshore properties havehouses; nine of those havejust one house, says MonroeCounty Property AppraiserKarl Borglum.

The worldwide recessiontook a toll on the private islandmarket, but a rebound is nowtaking place, Krolow said.

In the Keys, eight privateislands are now on the mar-ket. Asking prices range from$995,000 for tiny DolphinJump Key or even tinierCharlie’s Island to $18.5 mil-lion for a property that com-prises 14.5 acres on fourislands in the Lower Keys.

Charlie’s Island, all .32acres of it, doesn’t have ahouse but comes with a 38-foot Holiday Mansion sea-worthy houseboat that sleepsfour to five people. Sea ShellKey, also known as PrettyJoe Rock, is even smaller at.25 acres, but has a quainthouse and is a favorite ofmigrating birds. It is goingfor $1.35 million.

The 1.7-acre Fanny Key,just off Marathon, is for salefor $8 million by ThomasPalumbo, founder and CEO ofSatellite Beach-based IslandsInternational Realty. In 1987,Palumbo’s New York-basedreal estate development com-pany, Mascar Holding Corp.,bought the island from a lob-ster fisherman for $500,000. Afew years later, he personallypaid $1 million to own it andmake it his

Estate createdThe main building was

just a shell when Palumboturned it into a five-bedroom,3.5-bath home with a pooland roof deck that has 360-degree views of the Gulf ofMexico. And unlike most pri-vate islands, he is hooked upto city water and electricity.He’s in the process of gettinghooked up to the city sewer.

“If somebody came alongand wrote a check for $4 mil-lion, I might take it,” he said.“But I don’t have to sell it. Ilove the place. It’s my home.

I’ve got Jet Skis and boatsand a big catamaran.”

A lot of extra effort andlogistics goes into develop-ing an island.

One man bought a$200,000 barge just to trans-port building supplies. Islandowners tend to figure the addedaggravation into their askingprices, Krolow said. “Still, atthe end of the day, there are alot of overpriced islands, “ hesaid. “But we once sold anisland to a man who bought itsight unseen because it had thename of his wife. It is an inter-esting business.”

About a year ago, rumorsswirled that singer BeyonceKnowles was going to getjust such a gift. Rapper andrecord producer Jay-Z, whohas a net worth of about $450million, was said to have paid$20 million to buy the 12.5-acre Hopkins Island off BigPine Key for his wife.

The sale hasn’t occurred.Over the past 10 years, onlyeight private islands in theKeys sold for more than $1million, Borglum said.

Insistent Breakerlands in jail

An underage Spring Breakvisitor to Key West was jailedTuesday morning after repeat-edly insisting that police returnthe confiscated driver’s licenseshe was using to bar hop.

Karson Scates, 20, ofFront Royal, Va., had an IDbelonging to Rachel Harr thatwas confiscated by a door-man at Fat Tuesday’s onDuval Street, apparentlybecause he suspected Scateswasn’t Harr. It was about 1a.m. The doorman then gaveit to police Sgt. Joseph Tripp,according to a police report.

Scates, assuming the iden-tity of Harr, then approachedOfficer Ashlie Dean-Quiros,who reported “Harr wasadamant the license belong toher,” so she called Tripp overwith the ID.

Scates “did not know anyidentifying facts about the

license holder” and the picturedidn’t look like her. Scatesreportedly said the photo onthe license “was taken of herwhen she was 16.”

At one point, Scates “evenwent as far as to have ayoung military man pose asher cousin in order to vouchfor her identity.”

“I gave the female one lastchance to walk away,” Dean-Quiros reported. She didn’tand, once in handcuffs,Scates owned up to her iden-tity, asking, “If I tell you thetruth, will you let me go?”

The answer: No. Scateswas taken to the MonroeCounty Detention Center,charged with misdemeanorfraud for using an ID toimpersonate another person.

Scates’ Facebook pagesays she studies psychologyat George Mason Universityand is “in a domestic partner-ship” with Rachel Harr.

Postal Service changingAmerica needs a financially stable

U.S. Postal Service to best adapt to achanging marketplace and evolvingmail needs. Toward that end, the PostalService is taking responsible actions topreserve the long-term affordability ofmail and return this organization tofinancial stability.

The Postal Service is pursuing asignificant consolidation of its nationalnetwork of mail processing facilities—- reducing the number of facilitiesfrom 461 to fewer than 200 by the endof 2013.

Declining mail volumes and a ris-ing percentage of fixed costs dictatewe take this bold action to preserveand protect the world’s leading PostalService for our customers and ouremployees.

From 1940 to 2006, the PostalService oversaw a continuous expan-sion of processing and retail facilitiesto meet the growing demand for maildelivery. This expanded capacity wasbuilt to handle high volumes of mail,as was the case in 2006 when vol-umes peaked to 213 billion pieces ofmail for processing and delivery by

the Postal Service.In 2011, 168 billion pieces of mail

were delivered. In 2020, the PostalService expects to deliver as few as130 billion pieces of mail. By any stan-dard, this is a steep percentage decline.

In just the past financial quarter, thePostal Service lost $3.3 billion and isprojecting steep losses for the remain-der of the year.

No one is to blame. Times havejust changed. So must the PostalService. The fact is the Americanpublic and businesses are relyingmore on electronic communications.Bills are paid online. Friends andfamily interact through Facebookand Twitter.

Nevertheless, the demise of thePostal Service is greatly exaggerat-ed. The Postal Service sustains a$900 billion industry that employsmore than 8 million people. On anygiven day, we deliver to more than151 million locations. And even in adigital world, mail remains a power-ful communications, marketing anddelivery channel.

So to preserve the affordability ofmail and to return the Postal Service to

long-term financial stability, the PostalService is taking the responsible stepsof pursuing a realignment of our oper-ational networks. As we do so, we arefully committed to ensuring a seamlesstransition for our employees and ourcustomers.

The realignment is contingentupon the adoption by the PostalService of a final rule to changedelivery standards. In addition, inDecember, the Postal Service agreedto impose a moratorium on closing orconsolidating Post Offices and mailprocessing facilities until May 15,2012, to give Congress and theadministration the opportunity toenact an alternative plan.

The steps we are taking now willput the Postal Service on a strongfinancial footing for decades tocome.

Risk models take on moreimportance for Keys policyholders in Citizens pool

One of the final bills passed by the FloridaLegislature in the waning hours of its 2012 sessionchanges insurance assessments statewide.

Dubbed the Citizens Assessment Bill, it got scantheadlines. But if signed by Gov. Rick Scott, it wouldprovide rate relief for virtually all non-Citizens PropertyInsurance Corp. policyholders in the state.

This doesn’t change current rates that Keys policy-holders pay Citizens, but the bill attempts to level theplaying field, according to legislative staff analysis.

Instead of assessing a 6 percent reserve-fund premi-um across virtually all property insurance policies, thebill reduces that to 2 percent. Citizens policyholders arestill subject to reserve fund assessments up to 15 per-cent — no change from current law.

With 1.5 million policies, Citizens is Florida’s largestproperty insurer. And lawmakers worry over reservesneeded to pay future claims. That’s why all policyhold-ers pay into a catastrophe fund for Citizens, which nowholds $12.8 billion in reserves.

Annalise Mannix, executive director of FairInsurance Rates in Monroe (FIRM), says the state’srainy-day fund is now large enough to cover a catastro-phe like Hurricane Andrew, or the back-to-back hurri-canes in 2004-05 that swept Florida’s midsection.

She describes passage of the Citizens AssessmentBill as “good news, because it cuts people’s fees a littlebit.” And it plays well with legislators who representnon-coastal areas in Florida (where windstorm rates arefar less expensive and available from a wider pool ofinsurers).

“When people push politicians in the middle of thestate [over insurance rates)] that’s a bad thing,” Mannixsays. With Friday’s compromise bill passing, bothcoastal and interior county lawmakers got something.

The next battle over windstorm rates for Keys prop-erty owners will come with changes to the windstormmodels that insurance companies use to assess damagesand set future rates.

Mannix says the loss of Scott Wallace, who’s ledCitizens the past six years will hurt. “He was open toseeing some change and agreed to hold workshops onthe flood versus wind damage assessments.”

On Monday, Citizens’ board of governors named aChicago head-hunting firm to search for candidates toreplace Wallace. Whoever winds up in that job, it willbe important for FIRM to continue pressing for moreaccurate models that fairly project rates based on winddamage, not flood (which is covered under the federalflood insurance program).

As Mannix explains to each new risk expert sheencounters from Tallahassee: “We’ve been using metalroofs [in the Keys] for more than 100 years. It’s impor-tant they realize, we build our homes very differentlythan other places in Florida.”

Here’s hoping Citizens’new president gets the message.

No vending at SombreroAfter the people, Sombrero Beach is

the nicest thing in Marathon. Adding afor-profit business on a pristine jewelis, in my humble opinion, the path toperdition.

Allow one, there will be anotherhustler with a friend on the CityCouncil or friends who used to be onthe council, wanting Jet Skis, kayaks,sailboards or paddle boards or a beerstand. It could be just like public beach-es in New Jersey.

Frankly, the way the City Councilflushes away money, the proposed$18,000, $20,000 or $25,000 wouldbuy at most two landscaping plants forthe Grassy Key sewage plant or a cou-ple of pallets of sod for the communitypark.

In the 30 years I was able to use thebeach daily, I never once thought, man,do I want to rent something.

Amazingly, people who want a chairbring a chair. Even tourists.

Don’t widen the channelAs a grassroots, science-based

organization, Reef Relief hasworked for the past 25 years on theenvironmental impacts of the cruiseindustry.

As a result of our work and thework of our environmental part-ners, we have been successful inimproving cruise ship advancedwastewater treatment and settingstronger rules to improve ballastwater management that preventsinvasive species from entering ourwaters. Our work was instrumentalin getting a no-discharge zone forsewage extended to federal water.

Consequently, we have good rea-sons to be proud of our historic role

in preserving and protecting thecoral reefs of the Florida Keys.

However, recent initiatives anddiscussions have raised severalimportant questions.

Is widening the shipping channelinto Key West Harbor an environ-mentally dangerous but necessaryrequirement to sustain our city as aviable navigable tourist port? Is astudy of the existing physical con-ditions a cautious and responsibleprocedure to establish the possibleenvironmental impacts on our coralreefs?

There are many individuals andorganizations that have voiced theiropinions on this subject. However,our mission is clear and driven by a

singular concern. Our client is thecoral reef, and only the coral reef.No study can justify the destructionof any part of our coral reef.

Therefore, our position is non-negotiable. The coral reefs in andaround the Florida Keys shouldnever be reduced to a bargainingchip. They are our true lifeblood.The reef’s protection is a communi-ty responsibility, our legacy andReef Relief’s passionate mission.

Protecting seagrass is in everyone’s interest

March signals springtime in Florida — thelonger days and warmerweather can create idealconditions for fishing,kayaking, boating or stand-up paddleboarding inFlorida’s estuaries and othercoastal waterways. It is fit-ting then that March isSeagrass Awareness Monthbecause seagrass beds aresuch an important compo-nent of our coastal water-ways.

According to a recentreport by the Florida Fishand Wildlife ConservationCommission, 2.2 millionacres of seagrasses havebeen documented in Floridawaters, providing ecologi-cal services worth $20 bil-lion per year.

Ecological servicesinclude habitat values thatcannot be measured by a tra-ditional economic scale, i.e.,the value of providing habi-tat to juvenile sport fish orfood for manatees and seaturtles. Seagrass beds alsoprovide direct economicbenefits to Florida throughfishing charters and eco-tourism businesses.

The condition ofFlorida’s seagrasses varies

in differentregions.

S e agrasses inthe Keysa r ebelieved tobe stablewhile thosein certain

areas of Southwest Floridaand the Panhandle aredeclining. Seagrasses alongFlorida’s east coast havebeen showing an increasingtrend, and South Floridacontains nearly 60 percentof the state’s seagrasses.However, great losses inseagrass abundance inBrevard County in 2011caused by environmentalfactors are a reminder thatthese ecosystems are vul-nerable.

Seagrasses are foundin clear and relativelyshallow waters becausetheir growth is fueled bysunlight. Their occur-rence in shallow watermakes them susceptibleto damage by boats thatmay try to motor throughareas without properclearance, creating propscars in the grass beds. Achurning propeller cuts

not only the blades of thegrasses, but uproots anddestroys the rhizomes(roots) in the sand. It cantake years for the sedi-ment to support regrowthand allow the scars toheal.

To prevent prop scarring,boats should stay in markeddeep-water channels whiletraveling. Flats boats fish-ing in the seagrass bedsshould use poles andtrolling motors to movethrough the water to avoiddamaging seagrasses withtheir engines.

If boaters become stuckin a shallow area with sea-grasses or other sub-merged resources, theyshould never use theengine to try to blast free.Instead, they should turnoff the engine, shift pas-senger weight distributionin the boat and try to movethe boat using a long poleor oar. If necessary, one ormore passengers can exitthe boat and push it todeeper water.

Boaters should also usepolarized sunglasses toreduce glare and help themsee resources like seagrass-es beneath the water’s sur-

face.Seagrasses are negative-

ly affected by stormwaterrunoff and algae bloomsthat block the sun’s rayssince they need sunlight togrow. Stormwater runoff tocoastal waters can bereduced by creating swalesand retention ponds andusing pervious pavement.Limiting use of fertilizers inlandscapes adjacent tocoastal waterways canreduce the nutrient loadingthat contributes to algaeblooms.

All of us who live andrecreate in coastal areas cantake steps to make ourwaters cleaner and protectthe seagrasses that are sovitally important to ouraquatic ecosystem andeconomy.

When we’ve been on No Name, we’ve seen the samekind and number of electrical appliances in use that we havein our conventional on-the-grid homes. We know that ourNo Name friends chose the alternative solar lifestyle andthey are completely happy with that decision.

We applaud the solar choice that No Name provides, andwe believe the island’s residents should be supported andemulated. Keys Energy Services needs to understand com-mercial electric power has no place on No Name. Period.

Nova SoutheasternUniversity Professor BarryBarnes tells his managementclasses on the BrowardCounty campus the GratefulDead can teach us a lotabout business and personalfinance.

Barnes, 68, a former IBMand John Deere IT execu-

tive, followed the band fordecades to learn the secretsbehind the Grateful Dead’smarketing genius.

He recently published hisfindings in “Everything IKnow About Business ILearned from the GratefulDead: The Ten MostInnovative Lessons From aLong, Strange Trip.”

Band members managedto thumb their collectivenoses at the establishedmusic world and “becomeone of the longest-lived,most-beloved, and top-grossing acts of the late 20th

Century,” Barnes writes inhis book, adding, “Evennow, 16 years after breakingup, the Grateful Dead,remains a formidable busi-ness empire.

Barnes was working atIBM in 1969 when he heardhis first Grateful Deadalbum. But it wasn’t untilattending a Dead show (he’sbeen to about 200 concerts)in Berkeley, Calif., in 1985that he realized the band had“some important lessons toteach the business world.”Barnes quit his IT corporatejob at John Deere to get a

doctorate, focusing on theGrateful Dead’s businessacumen.

“I have a passion formusic, and something aboutthe Grateful Dead really gotto me. I had to understandtheir ability to change andtheir improvisation,” Barnessaid.

Both are crucial intoday’s tough economictimes in a rapidly changinghigh-tech world, he said.

Three examples ofDeadhead principles that can

help others:● Disrupt old habits.The band members didn’t

trust the music industry sothey started what turned outto be a lucrative record com-pany, merchandising compa-ny and mail-order ticketingbusiness. In your personallife, get rid of bad habits,such as spending your pay-check before you have achance to save.

● Embrace caution.You can be a free spirit

while being careful withyour money. Remember theclassic Dead lyrics: “Whenlife looks like Easy Street,

there is danger at your door.”Check out new investmentsbefore you actually putdown money.

● Accept your errors butmake adjustments.

Don’t beat yourself up ifyou lose money, but learnfrom your mistakes beforegoing on. Early on, forexample, the Grateful Deadtrusted someone close tohandle the band’s money,but the employee ended upstealing $150,000, Barnessaid. Band members learnedto watch over financialdetails and monitor theirmoney more carefully.

Consumers aren’t cedingto debt collectors without afight.

Complaints about debtcollectors ranked second lastyear among total consumercomplaints to the FederalTrade Commission.

Part of the problem is that“with the bad economictimes, people are gettingmore in debt and less able topay their bills,” said Dallasattorney Frances Smith, whorepresents corporate credi-tors and debtors.

But there also have beenmany cases of unscrupulousdebt collectors using unfair ordeceptive tactics to try scar-ing people into settling up.

“I don’t think the abusesare occurring at the creditorlevel as they are on the third-party debt collection level,”said Smith, a lawyer atShackelford, Melton &McKinley LLP. “It’s whenyour debt is sold off to athird person and they’re col-lecting it.”

The debt collectionindustry said the FTC reporttells only part of the story.

“We take consumer com-plaints seriously and agreeon the significant importanceof protecting consumersagainst businesses thatengage in deceptive, unfairor abusive practices,” saidPat Morris, chief executiveof ACA International, whichrepresents debt collectors.

“However, the FTC’sreport doesn’t explain sever-al relevant underlying fac-tors contributing to theincrease in the number ofcomplaints against the third-party debt collection indus-try,” Morris said.

For one thing, FTC com-plaints don’t necessarily equateto bad behavior, ACA said.

“While the FTC simply tal-lies consumer complaints, theagency admittedly does sowithout investigation intowhether the complaint is actu-ally illegal or a violation of theFair Debt Collection PracticesAct,” the group said. “It there-fore cannot be assumed that allcomplaints equate to actualbad behavior.”

Secondly, “The signifi-cant increase in volume ofdelinquent or defaulted debtduring America’s currentrecession is prompting moreconsumer contact (with debtcollectors) than everbefore,” ACA said.

“Today, more than 1 bil-lion consumer contacts are

made each year in Americato collect health care, retail,credit card, student loan,government and other debt,”Morris said.

Debtors also get badadvice from unscrupulousbusinesses on how to handletheir debts, said TomStockton, a Carrollton,Texas, debt collector who ispresident-elect of ACA.

“We’re doing everythingwe can to educate our mem-bers as to what is the rightway to do things,” saidStockton, chief executive ofthe CMI Group.

Consumers should knowtheir rights when it comes todealing with debt collectors.

The federal Fair DebtCollection Practices Act pro-hibits debt collectors fromusing abusive, unfair ordeceptive practices to collectfrom you. The FTC enforcesthat law.

So know your rights. It’sstressful enough to findyourself behind on bills andunable to pay your debts.You don’t need to put upwith abusive debt collectors,too.

Some contendtheir actionsare abusiveMcClatchy-Tribune

Matt Chelekis connects for a triple that scored two runs for Key West against Gulliver Prep on Saturday night.

Conchs break their losing streak

It was the top of the sev-enth inning Saturday night atRex Weech Field, andGulliver Prep had justscored twice to cut the KeyWest High baseball team’slead to 7-6. Could theConchs hang on and stoptheir six-game losing streak?

There were no outs. Itwas up to freshman pitcherAndrew Freeman to finishthe game he started.

The next batter, KrisIzquierdo, lined out to short-stop Michael Abreu. Thenthe dangerous Chris Chinea(who has signed to play at

Louisiana State) stepped tothe plate. Freeman inducedhim to pop weakly to firstbaseman Hugo Valdez forthe second out.

But Eric Nietzel then sin-gled, bringing up JoeDunand, who already hadtwo hits. Dunand took apitch as Nietzel stole second.Then, like Chinea had done,he lifted a foul popup thatValdez caught for the finalout.

The streak was over andthe Conchs — now 4-7 —had defeated a highly ratedDistrict 16-4A opponent thatit had lost to, 10-0, a weekand a half earlier in Miami.

The game was the latestexample that Freeman hasemerged, not only as theteam’s ace pitcher, but alsoas a leader. When theConchs boarded their busafter losing to Mater

Academy last week inHomestead, Freemanapproached his coach. “Hebasically said that he wantedthe ball, because he wantedto be the one to end thestreak,” Miguel Menendezsaid.

Menendez said he didn’tconsider taking out Freeman— who allowed five hits andstruck out eight — in thedramatic seventh. “He isvery confident,” the coachsaid. “It allows him to besuccessful because he truststhat his stuff is good enoughto get people out — and heattacks the strike zone.”

The Conchs took a 3-0lead in the first, with tworuns scoring on a triple byMatt Chelekis. They added arun in the second on a dou-ble by Darren Miller and asingle by Chris Garcia.

After Gulliver scored

four runs to tie the game inthe top of the third, theConchs came back withthree, thanks mostly to fourwalks and a wild pitch byRaiders starter Javier Lopez.

The Conchs were heldhitless the next four inningsby lefty reliever Ivan Pelaez,who struck out six of the 11batters he faced.

“This one victory againsta good opponent was huge,”Menendez said. “It allows usto show these guys that ifthey continue to work andget better, good things canstill happen for this team.

Key West pulled into a tiewith Gulliver in the districtstandings. Both teams are 2-2 (Gulliver is 8-3 overall)and Coral Shores is 0-3. TheConchs will play host toRoyal Palm Beach at 7tonight.

Hurricanes bestDolphins, 10-1

Coral Shores HighSchool bested Keys rivaland South Florida BaseballConference foe MarathonHigh School Friday, 10-3,on the Dolphins’ homefield.

The Canes lost to RoyalPalm Beach High Schoolon Saturday, 9-3, beforeshutting out MiamiCountry Day Monday, 7-0.The team now sits at 8-4overall, but is undefeated at7-0 in the conference.

The Dolphins defeatedRansom Everglades Schoolon Saturday, 9-7, toimprove to 5-1 in the con-ference and 8-4 overall.

Friday’s game was tightearly, but the Hurricanesjumped out to a command-ing lead with four runs inthe top of the third inningand another five in thefourth.

A pair of Dolphinserrors in the third inningled to the first two runsscoring on a two-run sin-gle. A two-run homer laterin the inning put the ‘Canesup 5-1.

A single and two buntbase hits loaded the baseswith no outs in the top ofthe fourth, and a grandslam put the game out ofreach early at 10-1.

Marathon added tworuns in the bottom of thefourth inning, but failed toclose the gap any further.

“We had some errors,but they hit the ball andoutplayed us. I said all sea-son you can’t give goodteams extra chances and wedid boot it a few times.Coral Shores is a real goodteam,” Dolphins coachLuis Leal said.

The Dolphins alsostruggled offensively, withjust four hits against the‘Canes. Ian Almodovar,Carlos O’Farrill, YonielEsquirol and JoeyGonzalez had the only hits.

“You have to be able toscore and we had three orfour hits. You won’t winlike that unless you getgreat pitching anddefense,” Leal said.

Coral Shores is sched-uled to visit ArchbishopCurley High SchoolThursday at 4 p.m. in itsfinal game before SpringBreak.

The Dolphins are slatedto visit Curley Tuesdaybefore leaving Friday for afive-game Spring Breaktrip to Orlando.

The Marathon HighSchool tennis team split apair of matches Fridayagainst District 16 rivalPalmer Trinity School.

The girls team won, 6-1,while the boys fell 2-5. Thegirls also played a matchagainst ArchimedeanAcademy Thursday, losing2-5.

Except for a No. 1 sin-gles loss from Marina KayWiatt, the Dolphins easilyhandled the Falcons onFriday.

No. 2 Jackie Clairmontand No. 3 SavannahSchuhmacher each won 8-4, while No. 4 ReganDurkin shut out her oppo-nent, 8-0, and No. 5 KelseyMelton won 8-2.

Wiatt and Durkin wonNo. 1 doubles together, 8-4, and the Falcons forfeitedthe No. 2 match.

On the boys (1-3) side,No. 4 Jake Coldren and No.5 Stevie Nelson notchedthe only victories for theDolphins. Each won 8-2.

“I still think the boyshaven’t reached their full

potential. What I see duringand practice and matchtime are still too far apart.They’re getting nerves onmatch day,” coach ChrisBull said, noting an excep-tion in Coldren.

“When it’s game dayand his mind is in it, he’stough to beat and hestomped his player onFriday,” he said.

The girls (3-3) faced asmall but talented groupfrom ArchimedeanThursday and lost 0-7. Bullsaid the team was missingNo. 3 Schuhmacher, whowas out for the match.

“They only have fivepeople on the team, but allfive have pros they workwith and are one-sport ath-letes,” Bull said. “IfSavannah was in there itwould have been ... prettyclose. We don’t have asmuch depth and when welose a girl it puts us out ofwhack.”

Marathon was sched-uled to visit Coral ShoresHigh School Tuesday, butresults weren’t available atpress time.

The boys team is slatedto host InternationalStudies Charter School onWednesday at 4 p.m. atMarathon CommunityPark. It’s the last matchbefore a two-week SpringBreak.

the season 0-7, went on todefeat the Rams, 5-4, with athree-run seventh-inningrally. And then on Saturdaynight, in an even morethrilling fashion, theConchs defeated the sameteam, 10-9.

Such a change in direc-tion seemed unlikely in thefirst game when Carrollpitcher Alysio Cameloblasted a three-run homeroff Rachel Quad in the topof the fourth to give theRams a 4-1 lead. Thatdelighted the fans who hadcome down from FortPierce, and their mascot,who was dressed like a ram.

“I was supposed tothrow the pitch high andtight, but I got it out in herspot,” Quad, who pitched asix-hitter, said later.

The Conchs cut it to 4-2in their half of the inning onan RBI infield hit byAshlyn Katz. But Camelolooked strong in the fifthand sixth, and, with the bot-tom of the order coming up

in the seventh and herteammates chanting,“Alysio Camelo, AlysioCamelo,” she seemed onthe brink of wrapping upthe game.

Brooke Marsden openedthe seventh with a singleand was forced out at sec-ond on a grounder byCaroline Talbott. AdrianaGarcia singled Talbott tothird, and the crowd camealive when RaquelSchoneck singled in Talbottto make it 4-3.

Schoneck’s twin,Lauren, then lofted an easyfly that the right fielderdropped, allowing Garciato score from second basewith the tying run. Now,Raquel was on third andLauren was on second withone out.

Kendall Galvan then hita grounder back to Camelo,who looked briefly atRaquel before throwing tofirst base. Suddenly, Raquelstreaked for the plate andscored when the first base-man’s throw sailed wide.The losing streak was over.

“When she threw theball, I was going home,”Raquel said when the cele-bration died down.

Quad, her right armencased in ice, said,“Finally. We are here towin, not lose.”

Then came Saturdaynight.

Britney Price, who hadbeen in a prolonged slump,hit a two-run homer to winthe game in the bottom ofthe seventh.

The Conchs had to fightback after a grand slam byCarroll’s Rachel Rahal putCarroll ahead, 9-6, in thesixth. A homer by DevinOsterhoudt cut the lead to9-8 and set the stage forPrice’s heroics. RaquelSchoneck was 4-for-4 at theplate.

Key West, which defeat-ed Coral Shores onMonday, will play a districtgame at 4 this afternoon atSt. Brendan, and thenreturn for weekend gamesagainst University High(6:30 p.m. Friday, noonSaturday).

Wind’s still kicking so stay bayside

Fear not the wind, forthere are many options forgood fishing. For the bestexperience, choose a chartercaptain who knows the hid-den spots that are holdingfish right now.

Most all charter captainshave been taking theirgroups to the bay and thebridges. These areas arecomfortable even on awindy day and provide someexcellent rod-bendingaction.

Everglades National Parkis offering up an outstandingbite of sea trout. Captainsare also picking away at red-fish and snook. Choose acharter captain with a bayboat and knowledge of thearea, and a group of three orfour anglers will have a dayon the water that’s all aboutcatching.

The same holds true forthe grassy flats on the bay-side of Marathon. There aresea trout along with lots andlots of mangrove snapper,some yellowtails, Spanishand cero mackerel and plen-

ty of throw-back grouper.T h e r e

are lemon,b l a c k t i pand bulls h a r k sroaming thebay banks.T h e s etoothy crit-ters are ablast tocatch andrelease on

light spin tackle.The gulf and bay wrecks

are holding Florida pom-pano plus mangrove snap-per, grouper and someSpanish mackerel.

Center-console charterboats can easily get to all ofthese areas, and groups up tosix will happily put togethera very tasty catch.

As the winds continue,pick your days carefully forfishing on the Atlantic sideof the islands. When you canget to the reef, the patches orHawk Channel, the fishing isvery good for yellowtail,lane and mangrove snapper.You may want to wait untilthings calm down beforeventuring further out.

The week’s bestCapt. Matt Bellinger of

Bamboo Charters inIslamorada reports the catchfor sea trout in the back-country is off the chain andon the hook. All three of hisbay boats are getting groupsout for good action.

Capt. Jeff Shelar, ofCatch-Em-All Chartersdocked at Captain Pip’sMarina and Hideaway inMarathon, is starting to seesome nice lane snapper onthe spawn inshore. Hisanglers caught snapper andcobia in the bay, including a34-pound cobia landed byBilly Randolph fromPittsburgh.

The SeaSquared fishedin the bay and our anglerscaught mangrove snapperand Spanish mackerel.Several of our groups optedfor catch-and-release sharkfishing and had a blastlanding lemon and bullsharks in the five- to six-foot class.

We got to the reef on onetrip with Whit Procter, fromBeaufort N.C., and hisbuddy Bobby Garland, fromBoca Raton. The duo caughttheir limit of snapper alongwith porgy, hogfish andsmall grouper. They also hada six-foot scalloped ham-merhead shark give them a

run for their money.With the big breeze up,

Capt. Moe Mottice ofMoe’s Custom Charters inKey West spent the weekfishing close to shore andcatching tarpon, big spinnersharks, snapper and plentyof throw-back grouper. Theinner Key West Harbor andareas just west of theNorthwest Channel areholding fish and are the

best venues for avoidingwind-whipped waves.

Facebook rants carry a price

Ever ranted onFacebook? Maybe posted asnide comment or two?

Most of us have — andnever thought anything ofit, either.

I imagine Cincinnati-based photographer MarkByron figured the same. Heexpressed anger about hispending divorce and childvisitation issues in a forumhe thought was private andcontained.

“If you are an evil, vin-dictive woman who wantsto ruin your husband’s lifeand take your son’s fatheraway from him complete-ly,” he wrote, “all you needto do is say you’re scared ofyour husband or domesticpartner and they’ll take himaway.”

Bad move.Though Byron had

blocked his estranged wifefrom his Facebook page, shestill learned about the postand filed a motion in courtaccusing him of violating anearlier protection order.

A magistrate agreed withElizabeth Byron and issueda ruling that free speechexperts say is worrisome. Itshould also concern thebajillions of people who usethe networking site as if itwere the kitchen table, aplace to confess overcafecito.

The magistrate’s ultima-tum to Byron: Go to jail for60 days and pay a $500 fineor post an apology to thewife, written by the judge,on Facebook every day for30 days.

Byron has been apolo-gizing since Feb. 13. But hehas also told local mediaexactly what he thinks ofthe “apology,” namely thatit’s forcing him to makefalse statements. He’sexpected back in courtMarch 19.

Many divorces end acri-moniously and this is noexception. Elizabeth Byronaccused her husband ofbeing verbally abusive andthreatening her with his fist.He was exonerated of crim-inal allegations last year,but the judge issued a civilprotective order prohibitingByron from “causing theplaintiff or the child of theparties to suffer physicaland/or mental abuse,harassment, annoyance or

bodily injury.”It was this order the

magistrate thought Byronhad violated. But the orderalso reads too broadly. Insome relationships, almostanything a soon-to-be exdoes — including his verypresence, as a friend oncetold me — could be con-strued as annoying. Doesannoyance merit jail time?Does venting on yourFacebook page, one that isblocked from the wife’sview, constitute harassmentand abuse?

More important, howev-er, are the prickly issues offree speech that the ordertramples. Cincinnati attor-ney Jill Meyer, who special-izes in free speech andmedia issues, told theAssociated Press thatByron’s commentsexpressed frustration, notthreats, and that ElizabethByron was never mentionedby name. She says the idea“that anybody can tell youwhat to say to your friendson Facebook should bescary to people.”

This case may or maynot wend its way throughthe labyrinthine court sys-tem as a free speech issue. Itmay or may not be the testcase that eventually deter-mines how interaction onsites like Facebook is gov-erned, if at all.

But right now there areplenty of lessons we cantake from this — and everyother Facebook debacle thathas gotten people in trouble.Remember the humanresources assistant fired forgrumbling that her bossmade more money than shedid? The British teenagercanned after posting shewas bored on the job? Andthe Brooklyn teacher shownthe door when she jokedthat she’d like to see herclass drowned?

All thought their postswere private, but these daysprivacy is an illusion. Sobefore shooting off yourmouth and fingers, stop.Walk away from your key-board. If it’s online, anyonecan see it.

Exercise without upsettingyour inner couch potato

Going to the gym is suchdrudgery. You have to dragyour lazy butt off the couch,you need to make yourselfpresentable, then you haveto haul yourself out thedoor.

But what if you didn’thave to leave your home?What if you didn’t evenhave to leave your couch?That you can wear a tat-tered Three Stooges T-shirtand stained sweat pants isjust gravy.

Yes, says Selene Yeager,a certified personal trainerand author, you can getsomething out of a 15-minute session on yourcouch.

“People see that ‘15-minute workout’ and areskeptical,” says Yeager,whose “The Women’sHealth Big Book of 15-Minute Workouts” (Rodale)came out in October. “Tothose people I say, honestly,just try it. Do pushups. Areyou working? You betterbelieve it. And you can hon-estly do a few very effectiveexercises on your couch.Before you snarkily tossthem aside, try them. You’llsee they work.”

So here are five easyand beneficial exercisesfor you couch potatoes.And they can be donewithout equipment.

“Don’t need dumbbellsin the living room,” Yeagersays.

● Roll down with kneesqueeze (for abs and innerthighs).

On a firm sofa, sit upwith knees bent, feet flat onthe couch cushion, and backstraight. Place a throw pil-low between your knees.Lean back, grasping back ofthighs just below the knees,and tuck chin toward chest.

Squeeze into the pillowas you slowly roll down onevertebrae at a time — sortof a reverse sit up — untilyour arms are straight andyour head is almost on thecouch behind you. Hold forfour to five deep breaths.Then slowly roll back up.Repeat eight to 10 times.

● Bridge kick (for buttand thighs).

Lie on your back withheels planted on the arm-rest, arms down at yoursides. Squeeze glutes andlift hips so body forms astraight line. Lift the rightleg, extending it as high ascomfortably possible.Lower back to start, andrepeat with the left leg. Do20 total reps (10 per side).

● Triceps dip (for triceps,shoulders and back).

Scoot to the edge of thesofa. Grasp the sofa withyour hands positionedwider than shoulder-widthapart. Keeping elbowsslightly bent, inch your buttoff the sofa, keeping yourlegs bent and feet flat on thefloor.

Straighten your armsand lift your torso upward.

Bend elbows, lowering hipstoward the floor until yourupper arms are parallel withthe floor. Straighten armsand return to start. Repeatfor 10 reps.

● Armrest press (forchest and triceps).

Kneel on the sofa andput your hands on the arm-rest about shoulder-widthapart. Your body shouldform a straight line fromhead to knees. Bendelbows and lower chesttoward armrest untilelbows are in line withshoulders. Pause, thenpush back to starting posi-tion. Repeat eight to 12

times.● Seated scissors (for

thighs and core).Scoot to the edge of the

sofa seat and sit straight up.Extend legs straight in frontof you, feet as far off thefloor as comfortably possi-ble, about hip- to shoulder-width apart. Point your toesand turn your legs outslightly. Keeping your legsstraight, cross your leftankle over the right, thenyour right over the left.

Keep switching quickly,30 to 40 times. Make themove harder (and add superab work) by holding yourarms out in front of you.

These fiveare easy andnot fatiguingMcClatchy-Tribune

TO YOUR HEALTH

The triceps dip is among the easy exercises. Do 10 repswhen you do this.

the season 0-7, went on todefeat the Rams, 5-4, with athree-run seventh-inningrally. And then on Saturdaynight, in an even morethrilling fashion, theConchs defeated the sameteam, 10-9.

Such a change in direc-tion seemed unlikely in thefirst game when Carrollpitcher Alysio Cameloblasted a three-run homeroff Rachel Quad in the topof the fourth to give theRams a 4-1 lead. Thatdelighted the fans who hadcome down from FortPierce, and their mascot,who was dressed like a ram.

“I was supposed tothrow the pitch high andtight, but I got it out in herspot,” Quad, who pitched asix-hitter, said later.

The Conchs cut it to 4-2in their half of the inning onan RBI infield hit byAshlyn Katz. But Camelolooked strong in the fifthand sixth, and, with the bot-tom of the order coming up

in the seventh and herteammates chanting,“Alysio Camelo, AlysioCamelo,” she seemed onthe brink of wrapping upthe game.

Brooke Marsden openedthe seventh with a singleand was forced out at sec-ond on a grounder byCaroline Talbott. AdrianaGarcia singled Talbott tothird, and the crowd camealive when RaquelSchoneck singled in Talbottto make it 4-3.

Schoneck’s twin,Lauren, then lofted an easyfly that the right fielderdropped, allowing Garciato score from second basewith the tying run. Now,Raquel was on third andLauren was on second withone out.

Kendall Galvan then hita grounder back to Camelo,who looked briefly atRaquel before throwing tofirst base. Suddenly, Raquelstreaked for the plate andscored when the first base-man’s throw sailed wide.The losing streak was over.

“When she threw theball, I was going home,”Raquel said when the cele-bration died down.

Quad, her right armencased in ice, said,“Finally. We are here towin, not lose.”

Then came Saturdaynight.

Britney Price, who hadbeen in a prolonged slump,hit a two-run homer to winthe game in the bottom ofthe seventh.

The Conchs had to fightback after a grand slam byCarroll’s Rachel Rahal putCarroll ahead, 9-6, in thesixth. A homer by DevinOsterhoudt cut the lead to9-8 and set the stage forPrice’s heroics. RaquelSchoneck was 4-for-4 at theplate.

Key West, which defeat-ed Coral Shores onMonday, will play a districtgame at 4 this afternoon atSt. Brendan, and thenreturn for weekend gamesagainst University High(6:30 p.m. Friday, noonSaturday).

Conchs get comeback winFrom Lady Conchs, 1B

Wind’s still kicking so stay bayside

Fear not the wind, forthere are many options forgood fishing. For the bestexperience, choose a chartercaptain who knows the hid-den spots that are holdingfish right now.

Most all charter captainshave been taking theirgroups to the bay and thebridges. These areas arecomfortable even on awindy day and provide someexcellent rod-bendingaction.

Everglades National Parkis offering up an outstandingbite of sea trout. Captainsare also picking away at red-fish and snook. Choose acharter captain with a bayboat and knowledge of thearea, and a group of three orfour anglers will have a dayon the water that’s all aboutcatching.

The same holds true forthe grassy flats on the bay-side of Marathon. There aresea trout along with lots andlots of mangrove snapper,some yellowtails, Spanishand cero mackerel and plen-

ty of throw-back grouper.T h e r e

are lemon,b l a c k t i pand bulls h a r k sroaming thebay banks.T h e s etoothy crit-ters are ablast tocatch andrelease on

light spin tackle.The gulf and bay wrecks

are holding Florida pom-pano plus mangrove snap-per, grouper and someSpanish mackerel.

Center-console charterboats can easily get to all ofthese areas, and groups up tosix will happily put togethera very tasty catch.

As the winds continue,pick your days carefully forfishing on the Atlantic sideof the islands. When you canget to the reef, the patches orHawk Channel, the fishing isvery good for yellowtail,lane and mangrove snapper.You may want to wait untilthings calm down beforeventuring further out.

The week’s bestCapt. Matt Bellinger of

Bamboo Charters inIslamorada reports the catchfor sea trout in the back-country is off the chain andon the hook. All three of hisbay boats are getting groupsout for good action.

Capt. Jeff Shelar, ofCatch-Em-All Chartersdocked at Captain Pip’sMarina and Hideaway inMarathon, is starting to seesome nice lane snapper onthe spawn inshore. Hisanglers caught snapper andcobia in the bay, including a34-pound cobia landed byBilly Randolph fromPittsburgh.

The SeaSquared fishedin the bay and our anglerscaught mangrove snapperand Spanish mackerel.Several of our groups optedfor catch-and-release sharkfishing and had a blastlanding lemon and bullsharks in the five- to six-foot class.

We got to the reef on onetrip with Whit Procter, fromBeaufort N.C., and hisbuddy Bobby Garland, fromBoca Raton. The duo caughttheir limit of snapper alongwith porgy, hogfish andsmall grouper. They also hada six-foot scalloped ham-merhead shark give them a

run for their money.With the big breeze up,

Capt. Moe Mottice ofMoe’s Custom Charters inKey West spent the weekfishing close to shore andcatching tarpon, big spinnersharks, snapper and plentyof throw-back grouper. Theinner Key West Harbor andareas just west of theNorthwest Channel areholding fish and are the

best venues for avoidingwind-whipped waves.

Casting contestCapt. Spider’s Casting

for Charity takes placeThursday at Salty’s Water-front Grill, located at the 7Mile Marina, mile marker47.5 bayside in Marathon.The fun contest runs from 6to 8 p.m. and will benefitSave-A-Turtle.

'Seas the Day'is top boat name

Making the decision tobuy a boat comes easy forsome people. Picking aname for the boat, however,can prove to be much harder,according to Boat OwnersAssociation of the UnitedStates, better known asBoatUS.

"A boat name reflects thelife and loves of the owner,"says Occoless Trotter of theBoatUS Boat Graphics

Department in Alexandria,Va., which helps boatersdesign their own boat names"But it's hard to sum it all upwith just a few words."

The half-million-memberboat owners group has beentallying the Top 10 list ofboat names for more thantwo decades. The 22ndannual list of names:

Galvan, DeRoche are all-stars

Key West High Schoolseniors Kendall Galvan andRobyn DeRoche excelled atrecent all-star soccer gamesat the University of SouthFlorida in Tampa.

The pair were chosen toplay for the South in theannual All-Star Classic bymembers of the FloridaA t h l e t i c C o a c h e s

Association.Galvan and DeRoche,

who concluded their Conchsoccer careers in January,were praised by variouscoaches for their perform-ances in the two games,said Key West coach ScottPaul, who led the South.

Galvan — who took abreak from playing short-stop for the Conchs softballteam — was runner-up formost valuable player of the

South team, an honor wonby American Heritage’sHaleigh Stremanos, who scoredfour goals in the two games.

On a Friday night, theSouth lost, 8-2, to a Northteam that had representa-tives from three state-champion teams, and thenext afternoon the Southand West tied, 4-4.

The two Conchs eachplayed at least three posi-tions.

“Mr. Anderson not onlyplays like pops, sings likepops, if you didn’t knowany better; well, you knowwhere I’m going with this.”

Facebook rants carry a price

Ever ranted onFacebook? Maybe posted asnide comment or two?

Most of us have — andnever thought anything ofit, either.

I imagine Cincinnati-based photographer MarkByron figured the same. Heexpressed anger about hispending divorce and childvisitation issues in a forumhe thought was private andcontained.

“If you are an evil, vin-dictive woman who wantsto ruin your husband’s lifeand take your son’s fatheraway from him complete-ly,” he wrote, “all you needto do is say you’re scared ofyour husband or domesticpartner and they’ll take himaway.”

Bad move.Though Byron had

blocked his estranged wifefrom his Facebook page, shestill learned about the postand filed a motion in courtaccusing him of violating anearlier protection order.

A magistrate agreed withElizabeth Byron and issueda ruling that free speechexperts say is worrisome. Itshould also concern thebajillions of people who usethe networking site as if itwere the kitchen table, aplace to confess overcafecito.

The magistrate’s ultima-tum to Byron: Go to jail for60 days and pay a $500 fineor post an apology to thewife, written by the judge,on Facebook every day for30 days.

Byron has been apolo-gizing since Feb. 13. But hehas also told local mediaexactly what he thinks ofthe “apology,” namely thatit’s forcing him to makefalse statements. He’sexpected back in courtMarch 19.

Many divorces end acri-moniously and this is noexception. Elizabeth Byronaccused her husband ofbeing verbally abusive andthreatening her with his fist.He was exonerated of crim-inal allegations last year,but the judge issued a civilprotective order prohibitingByron from “causing theplaintiff or the child of theparties to suffer physicaland/or mental abuse,harassment, annoyance or

bodily injury.”It was this order the

magistrate thought Byronhad violated. But the orderalso reads too broadly. Insome relationships, almostanything a soon-to-be exdoes — including his verypresence, as a friend oncetold me — could be con-strued as annoying. Doesannoyance merit jail time?Does venting on yourFacebook page, one that isblocked from the wife’sview, constitute harassmentand abuse?

More important, howev-er, are the prickly issues offree speech that the ordertramples. Cincinnati attor-ney Jill Meyer, who special-izes in free speech andmedia issues, told theAssociated Press thatByron’s commentsexpressed frustration, notthreats, and that ElizabethByron was never mentionedby name. She says the idea“that anybody can tell youwhat to say to your friendson Facebook should bescary to people.”

This case may or maynot wend its way throughthe labyrinthine court sys-tem as a free speech issue. Itmay or may not be the testcase that eventually deter-mines how interaction onsites like Facebook is gov-erned, if at all.

But right now there areplenty of lessons we cantake from this — and everyother Facebook debacle thathas gotten people in trouble.Remember the humanresources assistant fired forgrumbling that her bossmade more money than shedid? The British teenagercanned after posting shewas bored on the job? Andthe Brooklyn teacher shownthe door when she jokedthat she’d like to see herclass drowned?

All thought their postswere private, but these daysprivacy is an illusion. Sobefore shooting off yourmouth and fingers, stop.Walk away from your key-board. If it’s online, anyonecan see it.

Exercise without upsettingyour inner couch potato

Going to the gym is suchdrudgery. You have to dragyour lazy butt off the couch,you need to make yourselfpresentable, then you haveto haul yourself out thedoor.

But what if you didn’thave to leave your home?What if you didn’t evenhave to leave your couch?That you can wear a tat-tered Three Stooges T-shirtand stained sweat pants isjust gravy.

Yes, says Selene Yeager,a certified personal trainerand author, you can getsomething out of a 15-minute session on yourcouch.

“People see that ‘15-minute workout’ and areskeptical,” says Yeager,whose “The Women’sHealth Big Book of 15-Minute Workouts” (Rodale)came out in October. “Tothose people I say, honestly,just try it. Do pushups. Areyou working? You betterbelieve it. And you can hon-estly do a few very effectiveexercises on your couch.Before you snarkily tossthem aside, try them. You’llsee they work.”

So here are five easyand beneficial exercisesfor you couch potatoes.And they can be donewithout equipment.

“Don’t need dumbbellsin the living room,” Yeagersays.

● Roll down with kneesqueeze (for abs and innerthighs).

On a firm sofa, sit upwith knees bent, feet flat onthe couch cushion, and backstraight. Place a throw pil-low between your knees.Lean back, grasping back ofthighs just below the knees,and tuck chin toward chest.

Squeeze into the pillowas you slowly roll down onevertebrae at a time — sortof a reverse sit up — untilyour arms are straight andyour head is almost on thecouch behind you. Hold forfour to five deep breaths.Then slowly roll back up.Repeat eight to 10 times.

● Bridge kick (for buttand thighs).

Lie on your back withheels planted on the arm-rest, arms down at yoursides. Squeeze glutes andlift hips so body forms astraight line. Lift the rightleg, extending it as high ascomfortably possible.Lower back to start, andrepeat with the left leg. Do20 total reps (10 per side).

● Triceps dip (for triceps,shoulders and back).

Scoot to the edge of thesofa. Grasp the sofa withyour hands positionedwider than shoulder-widthapart. Keeping elbowsslightly bent, inch your buttoff the sofa, keeping yourlegs bent and feet flat on thefloor.

Straighten your armsand lift your torso upward.

Bend elbows, lowering hipstoward the floor until yourupper arms are parallel withthe floor. Straighten armsand return to start. Repeatfor 10 reps.

● Armrest press (forchest and triceps).

Kneel on the sofa andput your hands on the arm-rest about shoulder-widthapart. Your body shouldform a straight line fromhead to knees. Bendelbows and lower chesttoward armrest untilelbows are in line withshoulders. Pause, thenpush back to starting posi-tion. Repeat eight to 12

times.● Seated scissors (for

thighs and core).Scoot to the edge of the

sofa seat and sit straight up.Extend legs straight in frontof you, feet as far off thefloor as comfortably possi-ble, about hip- to shoulder-width apart. Point your toesand turn your legs outslightly. Keeping your legsstraight, cross your leftankle over the right, thenyour right over the left.

Keep switching quickly,30 to 40 times. Make themove harder (and add superab work) by holding yourarms out in front of you.

These fiveare easy andnot fatiguingMcClatchy-Tribune

TO YOUR HEALTH

The triceps dip is among the easy exercises. Do 10 repswhen you do this.
