The Florida departmentsof Health and Transportation have teamed up on theroadside cleanup campaign to promote physical activitywhile beautifying the environment.
ROADS, HEALTH CONVERGEA television crew work-
ing on a new Florida Keysseries for Netflix will keepthe cameras rolling throughmid-November.
The 13-episode dramaseries was originally expect-ed to finish in early to mid-October, but production tooka break of a few weeks thatwill extend the overall time,said Rita Troxel, liaison forthe Florida Keys and KeyWest Film Commission.
“They’re sending in lots offilm-application permits” for
location shooting on publiclyowned property or roads,Troxel said. “Everybody isworking like crazy to keep upwith them.”
No permits are needed forshooting on private propertybut Troxel said the produc-tion crew has been activelyworking with site neighbors“if the stuff they’re doing hasa high impact or is at night.”
The series stars Emmy-winner Kyle Chandler(“Friday Night Lights”) andOscar-winner Sissy Spacek.
Produced by SonyPictures Television, theseries, which has yet to benamed, follows an islandfamily “whose secrets andscars are revealed when theblack-sheep oldest brotherreturns home.” Each episodecosts several millions of dol-lars to make, with lots of thatspread around locally, pro-ducers have said.
Local shooting began inMarch, using Keys locationsthroughout the county but pri-marily in the Upper Keys.
Studio scenes are being shotin south Miami-Dade County.
“We are doing 13episodes,” Netflix spokes -man Karen Barragan said in aTuesday e-mail. “The seriesis still untitled, and it willpremiere in 2015, but wehaven’t announced anythingmore specific than that.”

Branson looking to the Keys
Billionaire adventurerRichard Branson — founderof Virgin Atlantic Airways,Virgin Records and com-mercial spacecraft companyVirgin Galactic, amongother things — wants$14,900 to feature KeyWest’s climate-change ini-tiatives in his new TV series.
With the city raisingproperty taxes this year andthe Monroe County TouristDevelopment Council say-ing it won’t contribute themoney, Branson — worthan estimated $4.6 billion —likely won’t get his wish.
“They’re supposed to bedoing a TV show on howcommunities are dealingwith sea-level rise, climatechange,” Mayor CraigCates said Tuesday morn-ing, prior to the CityCommission’s eveningmeeting where the mone-tary request was to be con-sidered. “I spoke to the pro-
ducer. Our segment wouldbe about 15 minutes.”
Branson’s latest enter-tainment foray is calledToday’s Sustainability. In aslick media package, hecalls it “the first major tele-vision series dedicated toinforming and educating thenational and internationalconsumer on the compa-nies, ideas and technologiesthat are setting the goldstandard for environmental-ly conscious sustainabilityin the 21st Century.”
Episode topics wouldinclude climate change, greenliving, travel, energy, farm-
ing, transportation, education,recycling, lifestyles and food.
It would air on NBCUniversal channels, whichinclude Bravo, Style, Syfy,Oxygen and others.
So what would that$14,900 get the city?
A five- to seven-minutefeature about the city’sefforts; an extended (up to10 minutes) version of thatfeature the city could use attrade shows, for promotionand its website; a one-minute “billboard commer-cial spot;” broadcast of the

State school boardOKs student funding
Backing a pledge madeby Gov. Rick Scott, theFlorida Board of Educationon Monday approved a pro-posed 2015-16 budget thatincludes record per-studentfunding for public schools.
The proposal is an initialstep in a months-long processthat will end with lawmakerspassing a state budget nextspring. Key Wester JohnPadget, a former MonroeCounty School Districtsuperintendent, is vice chair-man of the state board.
As he seeks re-election,Scott has called for the pub-lic-school funding formulato include $7,176 per studentnext year, the same numberincluded in the Board ofEducation proposal Monday.The proposal would be a$232 per-student increaseover the current year.
Board of EducationChairman Gary Chartrandsaid “I think we all knowthis is an investment in ourfuture. It will pay dividendsfor Florida.”
If approved by theLegislature, the $7,176 per-student total would top aprevious high of $7,126reached when formerRepublican Gov. CharlieCrist was in office. WithCrist running as a Democratthis year to try to unseatScott, education funding hasbecome a heavily debatedissue during the campaign.

Sewer hearing ongoing
Testimony in a stateadministrative hearing overLower Keys deepwater-injection wells and grinderpumps continues today inKey West.
After opening Monday inthe Florida Keys AqueductAuthority board room, thehearing before stateAdministrative Law JudgeCathy M. Sellers will havestate and local engineers tes-tifying today.
The hearing is scheduledto conclude no later thanThursday afternoon. Noimmediate ruling from thejudge is expected.
The Dump the Pumpsgroup, consisting of LowerKeys residents concernedabout the reliability and costof grinder-pumps to handlesewage from the under-con-struction Cudjoe RegionalWastewater System, filed forthe hearing to appeal theissuance of state permits.
Banks Prevatt and anoth-er member of Dump thePumps testified earlier thisweek. Sellers also will con-sider depositions takenbefore the hearing.
Most of the 9,000 con-nections in the CudjoeRegional system, whichincludes Big Pine Key andother islands, will be to agravity-based network ofsewer lines.
Several hundred homesand businesses are slated toreceive electric-power grinderpumps in more remote areasconsidered by project design-ers to be too costly for a grav-ity system. Dump the Pumpsargues that long-term costs ofgrinder pumps will exceed thehigher installation cost of agravity system.
Also being debated areplans to use shallow-waterinjection wells at water-treatment plants on StockIsland and Cudjoe Key.
The Dig Deep group con-tends that the amount of treat-ed effluent sent to the shal-low-water wells exceeds staterequirements, and says deep-water wells should berequired. The deepwaterwells going about 2,000 feetdown are estimated to costfrom $6 million to $8 million.

Delicacy prices swell
The cost of lobster caughtin the Florida Keys hassurged in price, jumping fromabout $10 to more than $20 apound for retail customers atsome local fisheries.
Bill Kelly, executivedirector of the Florida KeysCommercial Fishermen’sAssociation, said appetites inSoutheast Asia have alsospurred the hike in pricespaid to fishermen. Many lob-sters now are shipped acrossthe Pacific Ocean the sameday they’re brought up.
“The high prices are veryuntypical,” Kelly said. “Lastyear we had a high of $18 apound for live spiny lobster.The price is driven in largepart by China and southeast-ern Asia, where they stillhave a very robust economy.”
Food Export USA, a non-profit organization that tracksglobal food consumption,reports American lobster salesin China totaled $28.3 millionin 2013, up from $11.2 mil-lion in 2011 — a 150 percentincrease in two years.
A report by Rabobank, afood-research company, pre-dicts China and the surround-ing region may become a $20billion seafood import mar-ket by 2020.
At the Island Fishing Co. inMarathon, the retail price of awhole live lobster started at$10.50 a pound at the begin-ning of the eight-month season,which started Aug. 6. Priceshave now swelled to more than$20 a pound for a live wholelobster at the fish house.
“We’re hoping the pricesare short-term,” manager RyanHafley said. “Sales have beenfine but it’s tough to keep theprice in line with what peopleare willing to pay. It’s beengoing up all season.”
At the Islamorada FishingCo., retail prices for wholelobster are $13.99 a pound.For shipped lobster, pricesrise to $54.50 for the firstpound, then $6 for every sub-sequent pound. Lobster tailfetches $31.99 a pound retail.
Shipping boats ready toset sail for Southeast Asiahave occupied marinas nearthe Islamorada Fishing Co.all season, snatching upmuch of the day’s catch.
“As soon as the boats comein, they’re waiting for the lob-ster,” said Chris Kelley, aretail associate. “The Chineseare coming in and buyingeverything off the boat.”
Lobsters usually areshipped in waterless containerswith close to 100 percenthumidity. Lobsters can survive
for roughly five days withoutfood at 32 to 40 degreesFahrenheit, according to ashipping guide by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation,a trade organization.
Kelly said while Keys lob-ster is costly right now, it’slikely to come down at somepoint. Kelly said this year’sharvest should not affect thelobster population available inthe Keys next year.
“Almost exclusively, allof the lobster we harvestcome from the Caribbeanbasin and Cuba,” Kelly said.“They travel up here throughthe Caribbean current andstreams in the Gulf ofMexico. We should still havelobster so long as people inthe Caribbean do not harboregg-bearing females.”
Kelly believes the grow-ing demand for lobster inAsia is good for the Keyseconomy even if it doesboost lobster prices forlocals. He cites last year’sharvest of 6.9 million poundsof lobster, which accountedfor 6 percent of the world’ssupply of spiny lobster.
“We’re free of hurricanesand the PaV1 virus, thebiggest nemesis of lobster,”Kelly said. “We’ve developeda relationship with China andother eastern countries, andit’s paying off appropriately.”

“This has been a com-pletely overwhelming expe-rience!” Johnson said on herFacebook page. “Thousandsof views and shares, hun-dreds of comments.”
Some commenters suggest-ed the reptile must be a croco-dile and the cat may be a foxor panther. No, said Finley: It’san alligator and cat.
“I don’t think it’s a 6-foot-long gator like some havesaid,” Finley said. “It’s prob-ably closer to four feet.”
The brackish Blue Holehistorically has been home toa handful of alligators.
“At this time of yearwhen there’s been a lot ofrain, they tend to movearound from one wet puddleto another,” Finley said.“Sometimes they wind up in
somebody’s yard. If youleave them alone and wait,they’ll usually move on.”
Alligators in the Keys arenot normally aggressivetoward humans, but thevideo provides evidence thatpets left to roam near wildlifehabitat risk meeting an unex-pected end.
“As the video shows, alli-gators can be dangerous,”Finley said.
Wildlife cameras havebecome a critical tool for track-ing Keys endangered specieslike the Key deer, Lower Keysmarsh rabbit and Key Largowoodrat, Finley said.
“It helps us, and lets peo-ple know what’s going on inour own back yard,” she said.
Refuge staff maintainsthat cats on refuge land are adanger to endangered speciessuch as the marsh rabbit.

Court records say that inthe 2013 case, “no action[was] taken by state.”Records show the 2011cases were “consolidated,”so it appears he was on pro-bation from those cases,though specifics weren’tavailable Tuesday.
His father Dennis, 53, was

Zecca is now at theOakdale (La.) FederalCorrectional Institute, alow-security prison. His
scheduled release date isSept. 7, 2021.
Zecca, a 20-year CoastGuard officer who once com-manded Station Islamorada,was arrested on Dec. 21,2012, after the hit man turnedout to be a federal informantwearing a wire. Zecca hadbeen under surveillance in aseparate cocaine deal, but thedrug charges were dropped inexchange for his plea inarranging Schmitt’s attempt-ed murder.

Resident: Tighten rules
Some Marathon residentscontend the city’s law govern-ing short-term vacation rentalsin residential neighborhoodsisn’t being enforced.
Jean Talton is one suchresident, expressing her con-cern to the City Council at itsSept. 23 meeting, calling vio-lations of the vacation rentalordinance “rampant.”
“Many of the people vio-late the occupancy limitations,there’s very poor managementand insufficient parking forvehicles,” said Talton, wholives on Avenue F, in the CocoPlum area. “The number ofvacation rentals has increasedand the situation is gettingworse. On my street, nearly 50percent of the homes are vaca-tion rentals.”
Under city code, regis-tered vacation rentals can berented for no fewer than
seven days and no more than28. There must be a 24-hourcontact and that contact, therental manager, must respondwithin an hour of receiving acall. Trash must be in cov-ered containers stored off thestreet and rights of way.
There is no limit on thenumber of vehicles allowed.
According to a report pro-vided by Stacy Charlton, thecity’s building and codedepartment administrator,Marathon has 4,538 single-family homes; 497 of themare registered as vacationrentals, with eight morepending. They account for 11percent of the city’s single-family homes.
The Code ComplianceDepartment received 46complaints last month, eightof them listed as taxi andvacation-rental licensingcomplaints.
“There aren’t that manycomplaints that are filed,”Charlton said. “When theyare filed and by the time wego out there, the people arealready gone.”
Charlton empathizes withTalton and others in similar sit-
uations but said the city’s lawdoesn’t specifically address allof Talton’s concerns.
“Our complaints on vaca-tion rentals are generally thenumber of trash cans andvehicles,” Charlton said. “Wedon’t have restrictions onvehicles in the ordinance,other than extra ones arerestricted past 10 p.m. Somecomplaints address trash; wedon’t have an ordinance thatsays you have to pick up trashcans after people leave.”
For Talton, capping thenumber of vacation rentals to10 percent of the houses oneach street might prove moreeffective and help cut downon complaints.
“If they lowered the num-ber of rental units on thestreet, there’d be betterenforcement,” Talton said.
If there are people whoexperience friction withvacationers, Charlton urgespeople to contact the city at289-4133.
“Call us and let us know.We look to rectify and askpeople to be compliant,” shesaid Charlton.

The supporters and oppo-nents of medical marijuanaboth posted their first TV adsMonday, just in time forFloridians to receive the firstwave of absentee ballots inthe mail.
The clash is one that hasplayed out in 23 other statesplus Washington, D.C., withmedical-marijuana support-ers playing up the benefits ofcannabis in treating cancer ormultiple sclerosis — whileopponents target older, moreconservative voters with amessage about crime.
“They don’t call it theDrug-Dealer Protection Act.But they should,” says theopposition ad from DrugFree Florida Committee,which focuses on a provisionin the proposed constitutionalamendment that allows care-givers to handle marijuana.
The supporters, PeopleUnited for MedicalMarijuana, concentrate onthe broad outlines and prom-ise of the amendment:Getting people the care theyneed without the intrusion ofgovernment.
“Twenty-three states nowkeep government and politi-cians out of the doctor-patient relationship. And it’sworked,” says the ad.
People United for MedicalMarijuana earlier this yeartapped Dennis Ward ofTavernier as its point personto gain support in the Keys.Ward was Monroe Countystate attorney for four years,
serving before current StateAttorney Catherine Vogel.
Drug Free appears to bespending the most early:$1.6 million, with the likeli-hood of millions more tocome — especially from LasVegas gambling magnateand Republican donorSheldon Adelson.
People United for MedicalMarijuana hasn’t disclosedhow much it’s spending. Itschairman, Democratic donorand Orlando trial lawyerJohn Morgan, have promisedto do what it takes to get their
message out.A constitutional amend-
ment needs 60 percent of thevote to pass. The pollingaverage of the last major pub-lic surveys pegs Florida votersupport at about 64 percent.
Drug Free is concentrat-ing on conservativesbecause if Republican sup-port falls to about 40-42 per-cent, the amendment willlikely fail even if independ-ent and Democratic supportremains in or around the 70percent range.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA
Former Monroe County State Attorney Dennis Ward postedthis on Facebook on Saturday. The sign urges Keys voters tosupport medical marijuana. He wrote to go with the photo:‘It’s all about the patients let the Drs decide.’
Whistleblowers at a NorthFlorida prison were punishedby their bosses after exposingabuse of inmates, includingan instance where one guardsprayed noxious chemicalsinto a prisoner’s mouth,according to an investigationby the state’s Commission onHuman Relations.
The Wakulla CorrectionalInstitution case reveals a pat-tern that has re-emerged inrecent months as the embat-tled Florida Department ofCorrections faces allegationsthat it has repeatedly ignoredinmate abuse —- and pun-ished workers for revealingthe truth.
The Miami Herald hastaken the lead in reporting theabuses, including an apparentinmate torture death at DadeCorrectional Institute. Thenewspaper’s series of reportsin recent months has led DOCto fire dozens of officers andinstitute a zero tolerance rulefor abusing inmates.
The 2011 Commission onHuman Relations complaints— along with records of aninvestigation into corruptionand fraud at WakullaCorrectional Institution —describe in detail the risks fac-ing workers who try to shinelight on wrongdoing withinthe beleaguered correctionsagency and then nearly alwaysbecome the subject of scrutinythemselves.
Margaret Summers, a for-mer worker at WakullaCorrectional Institution, andher assistant Anita Nicholswere retaliated against foralleging that Megan Dillard,
a former captain at theprison, ordered inmates to beattacked and falsified recordsto justify the use of force, thecommission decided.
The Department ofCorrections settled the case in2012, paying $25,000 each —a total of $100,000 — toSummers, Nichols and twoformer guards, StephenGlover and Irenie Zurita, whowere witnesses in their cases.
“Punishment for disclosingwrongdoing is part of the cul-ture within [the Department ofCorrections]. Any disclosuresthat go against respondent andstaff are likely to be met withhostility and retaliation,”Commission on HumanRelations senior attorneyDavid Organes wrote in afact-finding report in Nichols’case on Dec. 20, 2011.“Disclosures of wrongdoingthat eventually lead to internalinvestigations and criminalprosecution of high-ranking
staff can make retaliation evenmore likely to occur, and caninvolve retribution from high-er ranking staff.”
Summers, now an investi-gator at the agency’s inspec-tor general office, said atti-tudes toward whistleblowershaven’t changed in the threeyears since she was targetedby her superiors at theWakulla institution afterquestioning an incidentinvolving Dillard, at leastfour other guards and 10inmates in 2011.
“The average Joe, theycan’t come forward. Theycan’t. Not only will they losetheir living, they’ll be set up.They’ll be framed. They’ll bein danger. They could havean inmate go after that offi-cer, and then when it goes outon the radio to respond,nobody comes,” Summerstold the News Service ofFlorida. “For them, the deci-sion to do the right thing is
not as simple as right andwrong. It is, am I going to gohome at the end of the day?Am I going to have a job tofeed my family?”
Department of CorrectionsSecretary Mike Crews, at theend of a summer-long crusadeto clean up his embattledagency in the wake of reportsof inmate abuse and corrup-tion, admitted that Summerswas treated unfairly.
Crews is defensiveBut he strongly objected
to Organes’ characterizationof a retaliatory ethos withinthe department.
“I think that’s totallyunfair to categorize everyinstitution and our culturebased on what you see inone, two or three cases,”Crews told the NewsService of Florida onTuesday. “It’s not unlikewhat we’ve seen happen inthe last two-and-a-half
months where you havepeople who want to catego-rize everybody who worksin this department for theactions of a few people.”
The retaliation did notstop after hours.
The home and car ofGlover and Zurita, who livedtogether, were vandalized.Their dogs were kidnappedand returned a week later —- injured, according toSummers.
Harming or killing pets,leaving dead animals in mailboxes, and breaking intohomes and vehicles are com-mon examples of retributionagainst prison workers whotell on their colleagues,according to Summers andother DOC investigators.
During recent visits toeach of the state’s prisons,the secretary encouragedstaff to come forward andreport wrongdoing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Liveaboards: Pay your shareEvery taxpayer, and that includes
renters, in Monroe County is not onlypaying for his or her own sewage dis-posal, but also paying so that someboaters can have free sewage disposal.
Everyone in the Keys has had to con-nect to some type of advanced waste-water treatment at a cost of several thou-sand dollars. Then they pay monthlyfees. At the same time, the MonroeCounty commissioners have decided tocontinue paying more than $340,000per year so that a few hundred boatersdo not have to pay anything. The reasonstated is that some of these peoplewould otherwise pump their sewageoverboard. Therefore, to assure they donot break the law, the rest of us pay.
Wouldn’t it be nice if for every ruleor code you did not want to adhere to,the county would simply pay someoneto take care of it for you? I think we allwant to stop pollution, and if the ruleswere simply enforced, those boaterswould pay for their own sewage dispos-al or fill the county coffers with fines.
If the county wants to spend moneyon boater improvement type of proj-ects, that money could hire enforce-ment officers or install mooring buoys,or simply contribute that money to theFlorida Keys National MarineSanctuary and let them improve the
waters or enforce existing laws.Eight-three percent of the vessels
receiving pumpouts are resident live-aboards who already escape most ifnot all property taxes, and now thetaxpayers are even paying for theirsewage disposal. So 17 percent aretransient boaters, some very wealthy,who now avoid supporting local mari-nas or pumpout services.
Call and write the county commis-sioners and tell them to stop this give-away of your taxes. If they tell youthey get the money from some boatingimprovement grant, then tell them tospend the money on behalf of allboaters. Based on the Keynoter arti-cle, the Florida Clean Vessel Act pro-vided $381,249 for these pumpouts.That means that taxpayers are beingforced to pay more than $720,000 toprovide free pumpouts.

Never blame victimsAs the children’s services coordi-
nator for the Guidance Care Center, Ifeel compelled to address recent com-ments on social media and in at leastone local newspaper article regardingthe runaways from the Florida KeysChildren’s Shelter who were allegedlydriven to Miami by a shelter staff per-
son for the purpose of prostitution.I certainly do not know if these
allegations are true and of course theyoung man is entitled to a presump-tion of innocence until proven other-wise. My issue involves the fact thatsome who have commented on socialmedia and have been quoted in thenewspaper have implied that the girlshad a history of prostitution, as if thatabsolves anyone else of any guilt. I would point out that these girls havebeen reported as 15 and 16 years of age.
If they went to the shelter with ahistory of prostitution, that can onlymean they had previously been vic-timized by someone else. If the cur-rent allegations are true, they havebeen re-victimized. Having sex withminors is a crime. A minor who hasengaged in sex with an adult is a vic-tim. The comments and quotes refer-enced are a clear example of blamingthe victim.
In my position I see children everyday who are in the system. I havenever met one who was there bychoice; all are victims of some cir-cumstance and all deserve our under-standing and compassion.

Blesser’s always givingMy father always said that towns
don’t just happen, they are made. Theyare made by people who care. I grewup in a small town and for the last 35years or so I have made my home herein our small town of Key Largo.
This brings me to my reason forwriting. The reason is to recognize oneof the people to which my father wasreferring. That person is Rob Blesser.Anyone who knows Rob is aware ofthe laundry list of contributions he hasmade to our community. As a decades-long dear friend of mine, I know verywell the countless hours he has givenalong with his experience, resources,connections and dedication.
His latest contribution has been inlocating and documenting the restingplace of Noah Cullen and his sailboatJubilee. Through the aforementionedexperience, resources, connections anddogged determination, Rob Blessertook on a tragic mystery and ultimate-ly gave Noah, his family and all of us,some sense of closure and the comfortthat comes with knowing.
On behalf of everyone who lives in
and loves our small town, I want tothank Rob Blesser. As my fatheralways said, towns don’t just happen,they are made. They are made by peo-ple who care. Thank you, Rob, forbeing that guy.

Beach is looking greatThanks to the more than 40 people
who volunteered their Saturday morn-ing Sept. 20 to help clean up the public(National Key Deer Refuge) portion ofLong Beach on Big Pine Key as part ofthe 2014 International Coastal Cleanup.
At 9 a.m., Long Beach was a com-plete mess, full of plastics and otherhazards to wildlife; by noon, it wasbeautiful and free of debris.
A special thanks to our local youthgroups and their leaders: Key West HighSchool’s Navy Junior ROTC, GirlScouts Troop 702, Friends andVolunteers of Refuges volunteers and theheroic Big Pine and Lower Keys resi-dents. It is amazing to see what we canaccomplish when we work together; ourbeach looks fantastic. If you’ve never

Enough tax increasesThis is the real 2020-2040 prediction.
I’m not talking about climate change;that’s false. No, at the rate our local,state and national governments continueto raise taxes 2 percent here, 3 percentthere every year for various reasons.
The taxpayers will be payingeverything to the government and thelowest-paid people on the governmentdole will be at $100,000 and still becalling for a raise and other spending.They pull on us so we won’t havemoney to go out with friends. Noentertainment, either.
So enjoy your free money. By thenwe won’t have anything unless somemiracle comes. Look at our insuranceon homes and health care skyrocket-ing every year lately. Well, we’ll seewhat happens in 2020 and 2040.

In South Florida, fourcounties, including Monroe,are already addressing it
As the planet warms, some U.S. cities will fare bet-ter than others and might see “climate changemigrants” moving there.
That’s the contention of a New York Times story lastweek in which scientists predicted that regions such asthe Pacific Northwest and even Alaska will be moreattractive as the consequences of climate changebecome more pronounced.
The news isn’t so good for the Sunshine State,according to University of Washington atmosphericsciences professor Clifford E. Mass.
As sea levels rise in the decades ahead, “if there’sground zero for where you don’t want to be, Florida isit,” Mass said. Yet as the Times reported, that hasn’tstopped people from moving to Florida.
“What we see is that people are actually moving intoharm’s way,” said ThomasPeterson, principal scientistfor the National ClimaticData Center. “They’removing from relativelysafe places in the Midwestto places along the Floridacoast, where the risk hasbeen increasing.”
Last week’s UnitedNations climate summitfeatured some progress inaddressing climatechange, but also showedthat state and local offi-cials can’t wait for world
leaders to act. As the Times story suggested, Floridafaces some of the nation’s most significant challengesin the decades ahead.
A warming planet and rising sea levels pose a par-ticular threat to an already scorching state where 80percent of residents live or work in coastal counties.Yet Florida’s most prominent political leaders refuseto even acknowledge climate change is real, much lessstart planning for it.
After being criticized for initially declining to doso, Gov. Rick Scott last month met with five ofFlorida’s top climate scientists. They explained to himthat the state faced such threats as 2 feet of sea levelrise — as some projections have happening by 2048— swallowing much of Miami-Dade and Monroecounties and nearly all of the state’s barrier islands.
Coincidentally, representatives in a four-countycompact — Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward and PalmBeach — formed five years ago to address sea-levelrise and climate change regionally meets for threedays beginning today in Miami Beach.
Floridians can’t afford to wait to plan for climatechange. If officials are going to sit on their hands, it isup to average citizens to join with researchers in plan-ning for rising temperatures and sea levels in our par-ticularly vulnerable state.

Net neutrality:Pros and cons
The U.S. Federal Com -munications Commission isconsidering whether Internetproviders should be allowedto cut deals with online serv-ices like Netflix, Amazon orYouTube to move their con-tent faster.
It’s a topic that has attract-ed record-setting publicattention. The agencyreceived 3.7 million com-ments on the subject — morethan double the number filedto the regulatory agency afterJanet Jackson’s infamous“wardrobe malfunction” atthe 2004 Super Bowl.
FCC Chairman TomWheeler, a former industrylobbyist and venture capital-ist, says financial arrange-ments between broadbandproviders and content sitesmight be OK so long as theagreements are “commercial-ly reasonable” and compa-nies disclose publicly howthey prioritize Internet traffic.
But not everyone agrees,with Netflix and much of thepublic accusing the FCC ofhanding the Internet over tothe highest bidders.
Some questions andanswers about the concept ofso-called net neutrality.
What is it?What is net neutrality?Net neutrality is the idea
that Internet serviceproviders shouldn’t block,manipulate or slow datamoving across their net-works. So long as contentisn’t against the law, such aschild pornography or piratedmusic, a file posted on onesite will load generally at thesame speed as a similarlysized file on another site.
Proponents say this con-cept is critical to encourag-ing innovation and competi-tion because it means anyonecan connect to the Internetand provide a service or con-tent without having to getpermission from broadbandproviders or pay extra.
But free InternetNot everyone agrees on
how to define it.Major cable and telecom
companies that sell Internetaccess often tout the benefitsof an open Internet, sayingthey would lose business iftheir customers tried toaccess popular content andcouldn’t get it. Another prob-lem would be retaliation.Verizon subsidiaries, forexample, regularly send traf-fic over the networks of rivalInternet service providers. Itdoesn’t want to block or slowtraffic any more than it wantsto see its own traffic blockedor slowed, company officialshave told regulators.
Having said that, Verizonand other broadbandproviders also want to ensurethey have flexibility to thinkup new ways to package andsell Internet services. Theysay that’s only fair, consider-ing they are investing hun-dreds of billions of dollarsinto a network infrastructurethat, so far, has prosperedwithout much governmentintervention. How theywould use that flexibility,though, isn’t entirely clear.
Why now?Last January, a federal
court overturned key portionsof an open Internet regulationput in place by the FederalCommunications Commis -sion in 2010. The court saidthe FCC had “failed to cite
any statutory authority” tokeep broadband providersfrom blocking or discriminat-ing against content.
That ruling sent the FCCback to the drawing board.Until the FCC can agree onnew regulations that satisfythe court’s requirements,Internet service providerscould block or discriminateagainst content moving acrosstheir networks with impunity.
What’s on table?Last May, FCC Chairman
Tom Wheeler released a pro-posal that leaves the dooropen for paid agreementsbetween Internet serviceproviders and contentproviders ó also called “paidprioritization” — so long asthe agreements are “commer-cially reasonable.” Wheelersays the FCC would step in ifbroadband providers actunfairly, such as providingfavored access to a subsidiary.
Wheeler said he was tryingto follow guidelines suggestedby the court, and invited thepublic to comment on whetherthese paid arrangementsshould be banned altogether.
Internet activists don’tlike the idea because they sayit gives too much power toInternet service providersand would create “fastlanes.” They say the FCCshould reclassify the Internetas a public utility under Title
II of the 1934 Communica -tions Act to ensure it hasenough power to regulate theInternet effectively.
Title II classification isexactly what Verizon and otherproviders don’t want. They sayit would subject them to oner-ous regulations that would sti-fle investment into infrastruc-ture at a time when the Internetis still growing.
Some Democrats have pro-posed legislation that wouldban paid prioritization outright.
What happens next?The FCC is still sifting
through the record-setting3.7 million comments filedby the public before the Sept.15 deadline. In the mean-time, the agency is hostingseveral “roundtables” to hearfrom stakeholders, and law-makers have convened hear-ings in Congress.
One big question iswhether the FCC will subjectmobile networks to the samerules. The FCC’s 2010 rulesfor an open Internet onlyapplied to wired Internetaccess and exempted mobilenetworks. But that might notmake as much sense consid-ering the explosion in wire-less devices in recent years.
While FCC officials hadhoped to wrap up the issue byyear’s end, the large publicresponse is likely to push anydecision into next year.

Study: We’re squeezed more
The picture painted by areport from the Center forAmerican Progress releasedSept. 24 is gloomy.
For a typical married cou-ple with two children, thecombined cost of health care,day care, housing and savingsfor college and retirementjumped 32 percent from 2000to 2012 — after adjusting forinflation. Average incomebarely rose in that time onceyou factor in inflation.
The figures marked asharp change from the pre-ceding 12 years ending in2000, when average incomefor a four-person family rose20 percent, after inflation,and college and health-carecosts rose more slowly.
Here’s how costs havegrown in some key categories:
Health carePremiums and deductibles
are higher than they wereabout a decade ago. Andmore people are payingthem. Average out-of-pockethealth care costs for a familyof four with an employer-provided health plan jumped85 percent to $8,600 a year
from 2002 to 2012, accord-ing to the CAP report. Thefigures are adjusted for infla-tion and are for preferred-provider organization plans,which restrict coverage tocertain doctors.
Only half of Americanswho obtained health-carecoverage through their jobshad faced deductibles in2002, according to the non-profit National Institute forHealth Care Management.By 2011, that figure hadreached three-quarters.
Americans must channelmore of their take-home payto medical care: Health carespending in the United Statesrose from an average of 5.4percent of all spending in2000 to 7.1 percent in 2013,according to LaborDepartment data. Theincrease from 1989 to 2000was much smaller: From 5.1percent to 5.4 percent.
Higher edThe average amount a mid-
dle-class family with two kidsmust save for college educa-tion — even after you includegrants and other aid —jumped 39 percent from 2000to 2012 to $5,300, the center’sstudy says. That’s based oncosts for four-year public col-leges. Tuition and fees at thoseinstitutions soared 86 percent,adjusted for inflation, from2000 to 2012. That was much
sharper than the 52 percentrise in the preceding 12 years,according to data from theCollege Board.
One reason those costshave skyrocketed is that stateaid to higher education has
tumbled 24 percent in thepast decade on a per-studentbasis, the College Boardsays. That’s forced studentsto bear more of the cost.
Child careChild care costs for a fam-
ily of four have soared anaverage of 37 percent in thepast 12 years and now exceedthe typical cost of renting ahome in every state. Censusdata point to a long-term
trend: Average weekly childcare costs for families withworking mothers, adjustedfor inflation, jumped from$84 in 1985 to $143 in 2011.
HousingFor the typical four-mem-
ber family, housing costshave jumped 28 percent inthe past 12 years, the center’sreport finds. That partlyreflects higher home prices,which have reboundedsharply since the GreatRecession. As a result, thenumber of new mortgagesissued fell to a 17-year lowthis spring.
Renters also face highercosts. More than half ofrenters spend more than 30percent of their income onhousing — the level abovewhich the government consid-ers housing to be unaffordable.
Less savingThose trends have made it
harder for middle-class fami-lies to save and build wealth.
For families in the middle20 percent of incomes, medi-an net worth fell 17 percentto $55,400 in 2013 from$66,600 in 2010, accordingto the Federal Reserve’s lat-est Survey of ConsumerFinances. Net worth equalsthe value of homes, savings,investments and other assetsminus mortgages, credit cardand other debts.

They’re almost here!! Unincorporated Monroe County’s Lower Keys franchise haulerWaste Management of Florida Keys, anticipates distributing 11,000 wheeled, blue,
65-gallon recycling carts (with attached lids) to residents by October 1, 2014. Thewheeled carts can hold three times as much recycling as the 18 gallon bins
currently distributed by Waste Management, and will still be emptiedonce a week by the hauler, on your current recycling day.
Gone are the days when you had to use a cardboard box as a recycling bin after your holiday parties. Communities using thewheeled carts have increased participation and volume by an
average of 30%. “This is a win-win for everyone,” said Roman Gastesi,County Administrator. “Becoming a greener community is not only good for
the environment, but it also helps us further our commitment to managecosts by recycling more and sending less recyclable materials to the Waste to
Energy Plant. Further, there will be no additional cost to our residents.”
HOW WILL THE 65-GALLON CARTS BE DISTRIBUTED?
“Residents will receive home delivery, and they can start using the carts immediately,”said Greg Sullivan, Sr. District Manager, Waste Management of Florida Keys. “Also,
residents will have the option of returning the old 18 gallon bins to Waste Managementor keeping them to put additional recyclables out.”
WHAT GOES IN THE CART?
A graphic on the lid will serve as a guide as to what can and cannot be placed in the cart.As avid recyclers may remember, in 2009 Monroe County implemented Single Stream
Recycling. This means that all recyclables are mixed together in the same cart including: plastics 1-7 (including emptied plastic milk and juice jugs, detergent and fabric softener
containers), metal and aluminum cans, newspapers and inserts, junk mail, magazines, catalogs, soft cover telephone books, brown paper bags, corrugated cardboard, cereal boxes,
office paper, file folders, emptied milk and juice cartons, clean glass bottles and jars.
WHAT IF SOMEONE TAKES MY CART?

Marathon High School’sfootball Dolphins got theirfirst win of the season Fridayon home turf, beating GreaterMiami Charter School 29-6.
Key changes from pastgames included switchingMax Elliot from quarterbackto running back and havingJackson McDonald step upas quarterback, sparking theFins’ offense. McDonaldproved he had the arm theteam needed, passing for100 yards.
“Jackson did a great jobfor his first varsity start,”coach Paul Davis said. “Hewas nervous at the begin-ning, but settled down andexecuted the offense toalmost perfection.”
Elliot rushed for twotouchdowns and VictorColeman and McDonaldeach ran for one.
The Fins’ defense kept thepressure on Greater Miamiwith two sacks from TommyLancaster and a forced fum-ble from Camron Chaplin.
Richie Wells had a tackle forloss in the end zone, resultingin a safety.
“Defensively, we wantedto put a lot of pressure on thequarterback and make himuncomfortable,” Davis said.“Camron made an athleticplay on defense while thequarterback was scramblingand was able to strip the balland recover the fumble.”
Davis called the victory a“win that everyone needed,the players and the fans,”after losing the first threegames of the season.Marathon (1-3) will travel tothe mainland Thursday toplay Miami Country Day,which is 1-4 record. CountryDay beat Marathon earlierthis month, 17-14.
Davis believes theDolphins can keep the winsrolling but knows it won’tcome easy. So far this season,the Dolphins have been ableto close down the scoring gapfrom the 50-0 opening lossagainst Boca Raton Christianto last week’s 21-7 lossagainst Pompano Beach.
“Our focus this week isto stay humble and hungry,”Davis said. “The win wasgreat but we need to contin-ue to work hard to improveand keep this winningstreak going.”

Canes now at 4-1
A relentless ground gamecombined with a stoutdefense to earn Coral ShoresHigh its fourth victory of thefootball season, 17-3, on theroad Friday at FloridaChristian of Miami.
“We ran inside on themwith Eddie Dunn. When
[Florida Christian] loaded thebox, we ran outside withGeorge Jacobsen,” Hurricanehead coach Ed Holly said.“That’s what we do.”
Jacobsen raced for 218yards on 14 carries, andDunn battered the middle for34 yards on 15 tries.
The Hurricanes stand at4-1 in Southeastern FootballConference play headinginto this week’s homecom-ing game against Arch -bishop Curley (0-5).Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. Fridayat George M. Barley Jr.Stadium in Tavernier.

“Now we have to keepreminding our team that witheverything else going on forhomecoming week, there’s afootball game to playFriday,” Holly said.
The Hurricane defenders,coached by coordinator JackNiedbalski, “played a whale

Conchs loseleague debut
Key West High footballcoach Johnny Hughes hadpredicted a “marquee match-up,” but Friday night’s gamein West Palm Beach againstOxbridge Academy did notlive up to that billing.
Oxbridge swamped theConchs, 43-12, in KeyWest’s Gold Coast FootballConference debut.
It was a startling reversalfor the Conchs, who hadopened the season 3-0,outscoring opponents by anaverage of 41-8.
Hughes said Monday thathe believed the game wassomething of an aberration.
“Obviously, they’re verytalented, but we made themlook better than they are,”Hughes said. “We made mis-takes that are correctableand we didn’t execute. Butwe weren’t overpoweredlike we were against someteams last season.”
Some of the mistakeswere made by senior quarter-back Andrew Freeman, whodropped four snaps from cen-
ter and threw two intercep-tions while completing onlythree passes. “He struggled,”Hughes said.
Oxbridge (2-0 in theleague) displayed a no-hud-dle offense led by quarter-back Angelo Navaroli, whocompleted 13 passes, andrunning back Travis Homer,who gained 180 yards.
Key West, which trailed14-0 at the half, fell behind21-0 when Homer scored ona 65-yard run early in thethird quarter. The Conchs cutit to 21-6 on an 80-yard TDrun by Mehki Sargent. Thatwas the only big running playof the night for the Conchs,who had plenty of them intheir first three games.
Hughes blamed that onpoor blocking techniques.
Late in the fourth quarter,Freeman went out with asprained ankle and wasreplaced by Christian Luna,who threw a 16-yard scoringpass to Sargent on the lastplay of the game.
Freeman is expected toplay Thursday†night whenthe Conchs play a 7 o’clockleague game at PembrokePines Charter (1-4, 1-1).Hughes said he hopes toget a second shot atOxbridge in the leagueplayoffs in November.

Dolphin bite slowing down
As we transition into fallfishing patterns, we havemultiple venues offeringgreat catching.
Off shore, dolphin fishingis like look-ing for aneedle in ahays t ack ,but it’s wellworth thes e a r c h .There arelots of fishin the eight-to 10-poundrange and

There’s not much pressureon this fishery right now.
Find a weed line and you’llbe able to work it for mileswithout seeing another boat.
The blackfin tuna bite atthe humps is intermittent but,again, worth the effort as thefish being caught are on thelarge side at 10 to 20 pounds.Live baits work best.

Canes best Conchs in weekend tourney
The air-conditioner wasbroken, necessitating opendoors and a couple of bigfans, but the volleyball wenton over the weekend at theBobby Menendez Gym.
It was under sweaty con-ditions that Key West Highand Coral Shores met at 9:30Saturday morning as part ofa four-team tournament.
The day before, the KimButler-coached Conchs andthe Andy Thiery-ledHurricanes had defeatedUniversity and lost to PalmBeach Central. Now, theConchs were trying toavenge an early-season loss
to Coral Shores.The first game was close
early, but then the Hurricanes’Melissa Helphrey took overwith her kill shots. Late in thegame, she proved that sheisn’t just a hard hitter by guid-ing a medium-speed shot justout of the reach of four Conchdefenders that made it 23-14.A kill by Haley Curry and a Conch error closed out the game.
The Conchs won the sec-ond game, 25-18. A kill andan overhead shot by SarahPike got Key West even at10-10 and, later, a tip shot byfreshman Keely Butler and aservice point by EmilyKailian increased a KeyWest lead to 18-15.
The Conchs went on toscore the game’s last fivepoints for a 25-18 victory,which set up a decidinggame to 15.
That game was dominatedby Coral Shores, which rodethe hitting of Helphrey and theserving of Skylar De Moss.Leading 13-7, the Hurricanesgot the final two points whenBrooklyn Irwin followed upher tip shot with a spike on aperfect set by De Moss.
“Melissa Helphrey hasreally elevated her game,”Thiery said. “She’s mixingup her shots and playingwith controlled aggressionon every point.”
There were still twogames left. The Hurricanes
lost to tournament winnerPalm Beach Central, 25-21,25-23. They led, 23-20, inthe second game, but thenbecame rattled and Centralran off five consecutivepoints. Coral Shores wenthome with a 7-8 record.
Thiery commendedBrooklyn Irwin for herdefensive effort, saying thesenior captain “played ashard as I have seen.”
Sophomore libero DelaneyHoag continued to improvewith “spot-on passing,” saidthe coach. Brittany Doyleserved 15 straight points inthe win over University.
Key West finished withanother win over Universityto go to 3-7.

Dolphins sweep Westwood
The volleyball LadyDolphins are back to win-ning after a Friday match atMarathon High Schoolagainst Westwood Christian,winning 25-19, 25-19, 25-9.
Marathon is now 9-3. The
team traveled to Key WestTuesday (score not availableat press time). Earlier thismonth, the Dolphins beat theConchs in five games.
Of the Westwood Christianmatch, Marathon coach KevinFreeman said, “The nightbefore [against ArchimedeanHigh School], we lost five ina set but didn’t have muchtime to think about our streakgoing awry. We came out andplayed hard.”
Friday’s scores reflect theFins’ toughness, with Sydney
Konrath scoring seven aces,five assists and nine kills.Also dominating was JordanRoney, who had five aces, 13assists and five kills. BaeleePettry stood out, too, withthree aces and nine digs.
The match started withWestwood Christian givingMarathon a fight. But that haddwindled by the third game.
“The girls weren’t asfocused as I’d like them tobe in the first game,” saidFreeman, who saw his teamstart to relax by the second
game. “The third game was-n’t really too much. Wecould feel like we could getthe win and didn’t give themthe opportunity to win orcome back.”
As for Key West, Freemancalls the Conchs, 3-7 follow-ing a weekend tournament,his team’s “biggest rival.”
“It’s always fun to playthem down there,” thecoach said. “We’re betterthan we were last time butthey are, too.”

GIVING BACK
LIVING BRIEFS
Pie in a bun? Oh yes
A pumpkin pie. Rolled upin a cinnamon bun. Do wehave your attention yet?
That’s right: We took ourautumn baking to a deliciousnew level by combining twoclassics, then topping themwith an intensely goodhomemade caramel saucespiked with flaked sea saltfor added oomph and to con-trast to all that sweetness.
When slicing the log ofdough into individual buns,a serrated knife works well.You also can use unflavored,unwaxed dental floss (orheavy thread). To do this,hold a length of floss (about15 inches or so) by bothends. Slide the floss underthe log and move it down towhere you would make thefirst cut. Now lift both endsup over the dough log andpull in opposite directionsacross the log to slicethrough. Repeat with theremaining rolls.
The ingredients for thedough:
� Three tablespoons gran-ulated sugar.
� One teaspoon koshersalt.
� One and half cups ofmilk, warmed slightly.
� Four tablespoons (half astick) unsalted butter, roomtemperature.
� Four cups all-purposeflour.
� One tablespoon instantyeast.
� Half a teaspoon groundcardamom.
For the filling:� Two ounces cream
cheese, room temperature.� A third of a cup canned
pumpkin.� One egg white.� Half a teaspoon ground
dry ginger.� Quarter of a teaspoon
ground nutmeg.� Quarter of a teaspoon
cinnamon.For the glaze:� Three tablespoons but-
ter.� One and a quarter cups
packed dark brown sugar.� Half a cup light cream.� One teaspoon cinna-
mon.� One teaspoon vanilla
bean paste.� Half a teaspoon flake
sea salt.To prepare the dough, in
the bowl of a stand mixer fit-
ted with a dough hook, com-bine all ingredients and mixon low until the dough issoft and elastic, about eightminutes. Alternatively, thedough can be mixed byhand. If so, in a large bowlcombine all ingredients butstart with two cups of theflour, then slowly work inthe remaining two cups asthe dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto afloured work surface andknead several times. Coverwith plastic wrap and let restfor 15 minutes.
Once the dough has rest-ed, use a rolling pin to roll itout into a 12-by-18-inch rec-tangle. If the dough shrinksback, allow it to rest a littlelonger before continuing.
Heat the oven to 350degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cook-ing spray. Alternatively, linea rimmed baking sheet withkitchen parchment and coatwith cooking spray.
To prepare the filling, in amedium bowl use an electricmixer beat together thecream cheese, pumpkin, eggwhite, ginger, nutmeg andcinnamon. Spread the pump-kin mixture evenly over therolled out dough going allthe way to the edge except
on one long side (leave oneinch of that long side bare).Starting with that side, rollup the dough into a log like ajelly roll, pinching the sidesto seal.
Using a sharp knife, cutthe log into 12 rounds.Arrange the rounds in theprepared pan. If using the 9-by-13-inch pan, the buns
will touch. If using a bakingsheet, the buns can be spreadout (and will cook slightlyfaster). Cover with plasticwrap and allow to rise untilslightly puffy, about 20 min-utes. Bake for 25 to 30 min-utes, or until golden brownand the buns reach an inter-nal temperature of 190degrees.
While the buns bake,make the glaze. In a mediumsaucepan over medium-highheat, combine the butter,brown sugar, cream and cin-namon. Cook, stirring fre-quently, for 5 minutes oruntil slightly thickened. Stirin the vanilla bean paste andsalt. When the buns arecooked, immediately drizzleall over with the caramel.Allow to cool for 10 minutesbefore serving.
Start to finish: One and ahalf hours (30 minutes active).
