THEY’RE NO. 1

Fat Albert getting deflatedFat Albert, the familiar

military blimp based on thebayside of Cudjoe Key, is setto come down permanentlyon March 15 after keepingwatch over the Lower Keyssince 1980.

Due to federal defensefunding cuts, the U.S. AirForce’s Tethered Aerostat

Radar System, comprisingCudjoe and eight other sitesalong the Gulf of Mexico,Mexican border and PuertoRico, will shut down.

The surveillance programis “capable of detecting low-altitude aircraft at the radar’smaximum range by mitigat-ing curvature of the Earth andterrain-masking limitations,”according to Air Force litera-ture from the Langley, Va.-

based Air Combat Command.The Cudjoe Key aerostat’s

primary mission is to supportcounter-drug operations. U.S.Customs and Border Protectionand Joint Interagency TaskForce-South, the latter locatedin Key West, employ the data,among others.

“Its presence has a deter-rent value to illicit traffickinghere in the area,” U.S. CoastGuard Sector Key WestCmdr. Al Young said onUS1Radio on Monday. “Italso allows us here at theCoast Guard to maintain real-time visibility of air and sur-

face resources that we mayhave and on occasion, wehave used that information tovector assistance resources tofind search objects.”

NAS Key West spokes-woman Trice Denny said theNavy doesn’t use the systemto any appreciable extent.

On Saturday, a SummerlandKey man identified only asR.H. posted a petition on theWhite House’s website asking

to “keep the Tethered AerostatRadar System operational inorder to help secure the south-ern border of the UnitedStates.... If we truly are con-cerned with the war on drugsand wish to have a cost-effec-tive sensor to fight that war,then this sensor must remainactive.”

Gentile focusof hotlinecomplaints

After months of pushing,a Big Pine Key man got aglimpse of public recordshe’s been seeking from theMonroe County SchoolDistrict since October — andif what they say is true,they’re not pretty.

Larry Murray, a formermember of the district’s Auditand Finance Committee, hadbeen unsuccessful in gettingrecords related to the district’sfraud and abuse hotline untilhe brought in Dennis Ward,former Keys state attorneynow private counsel, tothreaten a lawsuit for lack ofcompliance.

Monday, the two met withSchool District attorney DirkSmits and received fivereports from the hotline,which is managed by Oregon-based vendor Ethics Point at acost of $5,000 per year.

Three of them allege dis-trict Finance Director KenGentile acted inappropriatelyon the job.

From Case No. 41, loggedby the hotline on May 17,2012, by an anonymous tip-ster: “Ken Gentile has createda very hostile work environ-ment for staff. We are asked toget on our knees to pray withhim. No one can refuse theforced religion for fear of ret-ribution from this zealot ...who now [has] the power toinvestigate and fire staff atwill. This is so inappropriateit’s hard to believe it’s true.”

“This is totally baselessand unfounded,” Gentile toldthe Keynoter Tuesday. “I can-not even speculate as to whysomeone would allege this. Itsaddens me to think thatsomeone would allege this. Itsaddens me to think thatsomeone would allege Iwould force anyone to pray.”

That complainant furtheralleges Gentile’s wife Donnacalls herself a “volunteer”and “runs around” the districtoffice in Key West “looki[ng]through files.” Gentile didn’taddress that.

When he started with thedistrict in April 2010, Gentilewas chief internal auditor, adirect employee of theSchool Board. After then-Superintendent Joe Burke

Canal cleanups gaining steam

By July, survey crewsworking for Monroe Countywill know something aboutevery one of nearly 500

canals in the Florida Keys.The third phase of an ongo-

ing $300,000 project calls forcontractors to run bathymetricsurveys — measuring thedepths of canal bottoms — aspart of a countywide canalrestoration program toimprove water quality.

“These waters have beenidentified as impaired watersthat have to be cleaned up,”Mayor George Neugent saidat the Jan. 16 County

Commission meeting.As proposed, information

gained from canal inspec-tions could lead to fivedemonstration projects thattest each of five systems toimprove water quality incanals that feed intonearshore waters.

The federal Environ-mental Protection Agencyand the state Department ofEnvironmental Protectionfunded the study phase, but

the county may have to payat least part of the cost of thedemonstration projects, esti-mated at $2.5 million to $5million.

“There are different typesof fixes for different canals,”said Rhonda Haag, county sus-tainability program Manager.

DUI-manslaughter convict finds out fate

Pierson Villalobos findsout next week how manyyears he’ll spend in stateprison — and if a judgeagrees with a prosecutor, it’llbe three decades.

V i l l a -lobos, 31, isscheduledfor sentenc-ing Jan. 31on a pair ofd r i v i n gunder theinfluence-manslaugh-

ter counts some three monthsafter his Oct. 25 conviction.

A six-person jury con-victed Villalobos on twofelony counts each of DUI-

manslaughter and vehicularhomicide stemming from adrunk-driving crash nearlythree years ago.

Each conviction carries a15-year maximum penalty,but the law does not allowfor the sentences to be servedback to back. That meansVillalobos faces a maximumof 30 years, not 60, on thetwo DUI-manslaughtercharges. He will serve notime for the vehicular-homi-cide convictions.

He was slated to be sen-tenced in late November buta state Department ofCorrections presentencingreport wasn’t prepared intime for the hearing. Thatpostponed his sentencinguntil this month.

Assistant State AttorneyTanner Demmery, who pros-ecuted the case, said he plansto ask Acting Circuit CourtJudge Ruth Becker to send

● Using a weed-rack bar-rier to block floating sea-weed.

● Installing an air-bubblecurtain that would have asimilar effect.

● Removing harmful sed-iment from a canal bottom.

● Pumping to improvewater flow into and fromcanals.

● Backfilling canals that

were dredged too deeply,often as a source for build-ing fill.

“An awful lot were dugway too deep,” Haag said,leading to the death of grass-es and other desirable bot-tom-dwelling ecosystems.

“Up until this point, wehave not gone out to stickthings on the [canal] bottomand find out what’s there,”Haag said.

Since the “vast majori-ty” of Keys canals are pri-vately owned by landown-ers along the banks, CountyCommissioner DannyKolhage wondered if thatcould slow the program.

Neugent said evenwhere the canal bottom isprivately held, owners usu-ally cannot prevent boatsfrom navigating on statewaters in canals.

If property owners alonga canal with poor water qual-ity want to help fund a pilotproject to help qualify formatching funds, Haag said,“That could probably bumpthem to the top of the list.”

Neighborhood or commu-nity associations interested incontributing toward pilotprograms can send an e-mailto [email protected].

Dredge proposalThe issue of dredging

privately owned canals mayreach the County Com-mission in a separate mattersometime this year.

An amendment to thecounty’s land-use plan thatwould allow limited canaldredging under specific cir-cumstances was endorsedby the Monroe CountyPlanning Commission inNovember.

Owners of property onWalker’s Island, east ofDuck Key near mile marker63, have submitted a plan todredge an existing channelso it can accommodate larg-er boats at an eight-unitdevelopment project.

Existing local, state andfederal laws effectively bandredging, even for mainte-nance, in most Keys canals.

Backers of the proposalare working on a presenta-tion to the County Com-mission but no date for theitem has been scheduled,said Mayte Santamaria,assistant planning director.

Villalobos has been in theMonroe County DetentionCenter on Stock Island on $1million bond since his arrest.He also has a U.S. Customsand Border Protection holdon him, though specifics ofthat weren’t immediatelyavailable.

The crash happened theevening of Nov. 28, 2009,near U.S. 1 and 23rd Streetin Old Town Marathon.

Sheriff’s Office reportssay Villalobos’ 1999 Fordpickup was headed north-bound on U.S. 1 and collid-

Mangrum died at thescene, while her passenger,Christopher Jennings, died afew days later at JacksonMemorial Hospital in Miami.The couple had only recentlymoved to the Keys.

It took the jury just 51minutes to convict Villalobosafter a two-day trial at theMarathon courthouse nearmile marker 48.5. The juryrejected defense attorneysTyrone and Rose Valentine’sclaim that Villalobos’ passen-ger, Yendel Garcia, was driv-ing when the crash occurred.

resigned, his successor,Jesus Jara, named Gentilechief of staff directlyemployed by the superin-tendent, not the board. Nowunder Superintendent MarkPorter, Gentile is financedirector earning $122,000per year.

Gentile launched the hot-line in September 2011. Asthe district’s contact, hereviewed tips — except forthose concerning him,which were supposed to beforwarded to the superin-tendent and the chairman ofthe School Board.

That never happened andinexplicably, reports con-cerning Gentile were for-warded to his part-time assis-tant, Amy Reno, who workedfor him from March 28 untilJuly 1 in 2011.

Gentile couldn’t explainwhy Reno, who wasn’tresponsible for investigatingwaste, fraud and abuse com-plaints regarding her boss,received the reports; andReno never initiated any fol-low-up investigations intoGentile’s alleged behavior.

“The reports should havebeen channeled to the boardchairman,” Gentile said.“This was an instructiongiven to the vendor. I aminvestigating with the ven-dor why this was not accom-plished. By design, I do notsee these reports if they areabout me.”

Case No. 54, filed Dec.13, 2012, alleges Gentile“created a contract and splitit up into smaller amounts toavoid taking it to the board.”

The board has to approvecontracts costing more than$25,000 while Porter cangive the OK below thatthreshold. That’s been a sorespot lately, as board membershave been apprised by Smitsthey’ll have to redo a numberof change orders on a schoolrebuild that were previouslyapproved but not in compli-ance with district rules.

Case No. 48, initiatedwith the hotline on Sept. 27,2012, calls into questionGentile’s use of the “certi-fied public accountant” des-ignation on documents.Gentile has never been aCPA in Florida and had aninactive — since reinstated

— CPA status in New York.In December, Gentile serveda one-week unpaid suspen-sion as discipline.

The only non-Gentilecomplaint of the five pro-vided to Murray deals withHorace O’Bryant MiddleSchool Principal MikeHenriquez.

Opened on Dec. 20,2011, the complainantalleges Henriquez “isallowed to scream, berateand use profanity towardsubordinates and coworkers.He has repeated these out-bursts many times. I knowof at least half a dozenwomen who have beenabused by this man.”

There was no follow-upconducted by the district,according to the report, andHenriquez didn’t returnmessages for comment.

Gentile’s wife Donnafiled the fifth report given toMurray and Ward. Sheapplied for a grant-writingjob with the district in May2012, which she didn’treceive, prompting a com-plaint about not being treatedfairly in the hiring process.

FWC: Tighten law-breaker responsibility

A boat operator could beticketed if a passengeraboard violates Florida fish-ing regulations, says a rulebeing recommended to statefishery managers.

That provision lies withina slate of changes suggestedfor Rule 68-B of the FloridaAdministrative Code, whichcovers most state fishingregulations.

The Florida Fish andWildlife ConservationCommission will considerthe changes, all proposed totake effect in 2013, at theboard’s Feb. 13 meeting inOrlando.

The draft “Vessel

Operator Responsibility”Rule 68B-2.005 “wouldmake a vessel operatorresponsible for ensuring thatthe persons aboard his or hervessel comply with marinefisheries regulations.”

That rule already existsas part of state reef-fish reg-ulations, said FWC spokes-woman Amanda Nalley.

“It’s one of those thingsthat staff believes would bebest to apply to all fish-eries,” Nalley said Tuesday.

An agenda summary forthe FWC’s Feb. 13-14 meet-ing says, “None of these[Rule 68B] amendmentswould result in substantivechanges to the existing regu-lations, their intent or theway they are enforced.

“The intent is to clarifyexisting marine fisheriesregulations and thusimprove enforceability andpublic understanding.”

Other items listed in theproposal to “clean up and

reorganize” fishery rules:— To “explicitly allow

temporary possession” of aprotected fish to measure orphotograph it. The fish orother “marine organism”then must be “releasedimmediately, alive andunharmed.”

● Clarify that a licensedcommercial harvester can-not claim “simultaneouspossession of both recre-ational and commercial baglimits of a single species.”

● Clarify that commercialtraps cannot be placed innavigational channels.

● Ban the use of a treblehook with natural bait for allfisheries managed by thestate.

The FWC also will haveits final hearing on a rule toofficially create state desig-nations for “game fish” and“sport fish.” Actual designa-tion of specific species willtake place after the programis created.

Rules-change groups to meet

Three advisory workinggroups taking the lead onpossible rule changes for theFlorida Keys NationalMarine Sanctuary plan toconvene their first meetingswithin a few weeks.

The groups will focus onspecific topics that couldlead to proposed regulatorychanges. Group suggestionswill be considered by thefull Sanctuary AdvisoryCouncil along with state andfederal officials.

The working groups: ● Coral Reef Ecosystem

Restoration.● Seagrass and Shallow-

Water/Hard-Bottom HabitatProtection.

● Ecological Reserves,Preservation Areas andWildlife Protection.

Each panel of about 15people will include membersof the Sanctuary AdvisoryCouncil, along with commu-nity members with expertisein specific areas.

“Working groups allowthe Advisory Council togather information fromcommunity experts, usergroups and scientists,” saidsanctuary communicationsdirector Karrie Carnes.

Final membership in theworking groups has not beenset. But all of their meetingswill be open, with times andplaces posted on the sanctu-ary’s website, http://floridakeys.noaa.gov.

People also can be addedto an e-mail list for meetingannouncements.

The Reef Restoration andBottom Habitat Protectiongroups will work to meet intime to make an initial reportat the Sanctuary AdvisoryCouncil’s next meeting, onFeb. 19 at Hawks Cay Resorton Duck Key, Carnes said.

The Reserves andPreservation Areas group,possibly drawing the most

interest from sanctuaryusers, will hold its firstmeeting in March “sincerecommendations made bythe other working groupsmay feed into [its] discus-sion,” Carnes said.

“This is a very importantprocess so anyone interestedshould become involved,”Carnes said. “Get to know the[Advisory Council] memberswho represent you.”

In general, the multi-yeareffort to undertake the firstmajor review of Keys sanc-tuary rules and protected-area boundaries seems to beon track, she said.

Congress created thesanctuary in 1990 and its cur-rent management plan wentinto effect in July 1997.

As proposed, theSanctuary Advisory Councilcould decide on its preferredalternatives at its October2013 meeting. Writing anenvironmental-impact state-ment and going through thefederal rule-making processmeans any rule changeswould not take effect untilsummer, 2015.

Contractor Exelis SystemsCorp., based in ColoradoSprings, operates the networkof blimp-mounted radars.

Following the March 15,shutdown, “the remainder ofthe fiscal year will be used todeflate aerostats, dispositionequipment and prepare sitesfor permanent closure,”according to a notice fromProgram Manager Tim Green.

The Cudjoe aerostat holds275,000 cubic feet of heliumand measures in at 186 feetwith a 62.5-foot diameter.The normal operating alti-tude is around 12,000 feetand it has a radar detectionrange of some 230 miles.

Radar data is transmittedto a ground station, whereit’s digitized, then transmit-ted to various federal users.

Until 1992, the Air Force,U.S. Customs Service andU.S. Coast Guard operated it.In 1992, Congress switchedmanagement over to theDepartment of Defense.

The average per-site annu-al cost for a TARS site in 2002was $2.8 million, according toa history prepared by theNational Oceanographic and

Atmospheric Administration.Updated numbers weren’tavailable Tuesday.

Other than off the aptlynamed Blimp Road onCudjoe, there are TARS sitesin Deming, N.M.; MorganCity, La.; Lajas, Puerto Rico;Fort Huachuca and Yuma inArizona; and Eagle Pass,

Marfa, Matagorda and RioGrande City, all in Texas.

In April 2007, a 1997Cessna 182Q crashed intothe Cudjoe aerostat’s tether,killing all three peopleaboard. The plane had violat-ed a three-mile radius,15,000-foot air-space restric-tion around the Cudjoe site.

More problemsfor school rebuild

With a June 1 completiondate approaching, MonroeCounty School District lead-ers are scrambling to figureout how to fund and build a$350,000 handicap-accessi-ble parking lot at HoraceO’Bryant Middle School inKey West.

The handicap-accessibleportion of the parking lot isrequired before the districtcan obtain a certificate ofoccupancy for the under-reconstruction school andwas not included in the origi-nal $39 million scope —even though the Americanswith Disabilities Act requiresaccess for the disabled.

No one at the district couldsay why the ADA requirementisn’t in the district’s contractwith Coastal Construction andwhy the lack of it wasn’tcaught at the outset. Theschool’s been under recon-struction since 2010.

This is just the latest issuewith the school’s rebuild.

Among other things, whenthe walls on the first phasewent up, no one bothered tocheck whether they compliedwith the city’s building-height limit — which theydidn’t. That led to last-minutedesign changes for parts ofthe school not yet rebuilt todownsize the buildings.

Under law, the SchoolDistrict issues its own certifi-cate of occupancy. SchoolBoard Chairman AndyGriffiths said he isn’t clear onwhether the parking-lot issuewould bar use of the schoolbut said the issue would beresearched with the FloridaDepartment of Education.

“We’re our own grantor,”he said. “Usually on the edu-cation specs side, most of thecertificate-of-occupancyissues are safety issues likefire alarm or fire extinguisherthat needs to be there beforeyou put kids in there.”

“As far as the parking lot,I’m not sure,” he said.

There’s the possibility theparking-lot money could bederived from funds savedthroughout the course of con-struction that are contractual-ly split 60 percent-40 percentbetween the district andCoastal Construction. Of$608,755, the district would

keep $365,253 and Coastal$243,502.

However, the dollar figuresdeemed “savings” as articulat-ed in a change order are beingdebated at the board-level andfurther scrutinized by the dis-trict’s advisory Audit andFinance Committee. The dis-cussion revolves aroundwhether the calculation is thelegitimate result of cost savingsor rather simply derived from adecrease in the scope of work.

“Potentially this projectcould be funded from projectsavings once they are identi-fied,” Superintendent MarkPorter said in an e-mail.

“I do not believe therewill be problem getting theparking lot completed priorto the start of the 2013-14school year,” he wrote. “Ialso assume that we wouldnot be allowed to have stu-dents in the building until thefinal certificate of occupancyis issued. At this point, Iwould describe this as anissue not a problem.”

The June 1 deadline is afunction of the financing,provided at a low interest rateas part of the federalAmerican Reinvestment andRecovery Act. If the districtmisses the date, penaltiescould start around $2 million.

Lack of ADAcompliancenow discoveredBy SEAN [email protected]


Spending questions arise

Monroe County SchoolBoard member Ed Davidsonis calling foul over what hedescribes as a school princi-pal making six-figure con-struction expenditures andspending money the SchoolDistrict desperately needs.

Board members were sur-prised to learn that a handi-cap-accessible parking lotslated to cost $350,000needs to be built at HoraceO’Bryant Middle School,which is undergoing a $39million reconstruction andexpansion.

The district had identified$365,253 in savings relatedto the construction that couldbe tapped for the parking lot,but Davidson accused HOBPrincipal Mike Henriquez of

spending $161,306 of that onenhancements to the school.

“That’s money that wewill desperately need to buildthe now-required parkinglot,” Davidson said, bemoan-ing that hired constructionconsultants, district staff andthe project architect all failedto include an Americans withDisabilities-complaint park-ing lot in the original plans.

“We’re paying premiumrates for all our consultantsand managers but we’re notgetting premium service.”Davidson said.

“Mike Henriquez cameup with how to spend thismoney on stuff MikeHenriquez wanted. TheSchool Board should decidewhether that should be spenton additional things,”Davidson said. “That’s a pol-icy decision and we had nosay in it. Mike Henriquezdid and that’s inappropriate.”

Henriquez did not respondto a phone call or e-mail onTuesday seeking a responseto Davidson’s allegations.

Henriquez is part of theconstruction team chargedwith overseeing the HOBproject. It also includes out-side project manager BillSprague, architect RickSmith, Keith Sockalaski ofCoastal Construction andSuperintendent Mark Porter,although the project hasbeen going on since 2010,and Porter is the thirdschools chief to have a handin the rebuild.

Davidson listed specificchange orders he said were forenhancements to the schoolhandpicked by Henriquez,although Davidson noted, “Hissignature is not on anything.”

For example, change orderNo. 50 authorizes spending$15,740 on more canopies,then another allocates $74,013for extra sidewalks andcanopy foundations.

Change order No. 71,authorized in November,spends $10,595 to furnish andinstall “First Team RoughneckSupreme Basketball Hoops.”

On gun violence,enough’s enough

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

No to bike trackThe last vestiges of peace and tran-

quility comprising the Upper Keys maybe taken from us. The Dagny JohnsonKey Largo Hammock Botanical StatePark, on State Road 905, might beturned into a mountain-bike track.

The newly formed Key LargoBicycle Association wants the taxpay-ers to pay for the construction of somerisky and artificially built terrain fea-tures so that this latest group of thrillseekers may pursue an additionaladrenalin rush. The erected barriers andobstacles they desire would be destruc-tive to the environment. It wouldimpede the present use of our beautiful-ly designed trails.

These bike trails can take a cyclistdesiring a backcountry experience tothe interior of the park. They offer therider a scarce glimpse of the peace,quite and natural beauty that once pre-dominated the Keys.

Apparently, these mountain-bikeriders and their association are not sat-isfied with the many miles of extraordi-nary trails that have been developed.They want to make what’s left of ourfragile aquatic ecosystem into a replicaof the synthetically developed moun-tain-bike parks in Miami.

I was involved with saving this parkfrom complete destruction. Many yearsago around sunset, I came upon a fireraging near approximately 200 downedwooden telephone poles deep withinthe park. It’s speculated that a group ofteenagers roaming through the area setthe fire while lighting off fireworks.

We do not need unsupervised ado-lescents riding their bikes over the dan-gerous and risky terrain featuresrequested by the mountain bikers andtheir association. Drawing people to an

isolated section of the park so they mayparticipate in mastering hazardous bikeobstacles is a recipe for disaster. It isnot necessary, as a natural unpavedtrail, with all the challenges that goesalong with it, already exists.

I’ve spoken directly to the individ-ual heading up this proposal. I told himthat I am dead set against it. He is a

man of integrity and an excellentcraftsman. I emphatically trust his pro-fessional knowledge and expertise.

However, I cannot remain silent andallow this destructive request to pro-ceed unchallenged.

President needs public’s supportto fight for tighter controlswhile maintaining owner rights

It’s encouraging to see President Obama pursuecomprehensive gun control in the wake of theNewtown massacre, an event that shocked the con-science of the American people, by offering apackage of reasonable proposals designed to putan end to the madness.

A proper respect for the rights of gun ownersdoesn’t mean Americans should feel helpless inthe face of repeated incidents of mass violence byfirearms. There is no legal impediment to an effec-tive response, and there should not be a politicalimpediment, either, NRA or no NRA.

For years, opponents have managed to blockeffective gun-control legislation by wrappingthemselves up in the Constitution and decryingany restrictive effort as an attack on the SecondAmendment. That’s a smokescreen. Courts havemade clear the Second Amendment is not a bar tosensible regulation.

A poll commissioned by the Associated Pressshows that nearly six in 10 Americans want strictergun laws. Majorities support a national ban on mil-itary-style, rapid-fire weapons and limits on gunviolence depicted in video games, movies and TVshows.

By a lopsided 84 percent, respondents wantbackground checks for those buying weapons atgun shows. All of this contrasts sharply with earli-er incidents like the Virginia Tech shootings in2007, when only 47 percent wanted stricter gunlaws.

Congress already has abysmally low approvalratings. Do its members really want to tellAmericans they’re wrong on gun control? Theyshould have second thoughts about following themarching orders of the National Rifle Associationand other anti-gun control lobbyists.

In some instances, Obama’s initiative wouldonly close loopholes in existing law, such asimposing a universal background check on gunsales. Some 40 percent of those sales are conduct-ed at gun shows, over the Internet and by privatesellers, with no criminal background checks takingplace at all.

That’s asking for trouble. Even the private saleof an automobile requires registration and createsa paper trail. Why shouldn’t the same be done forweapons?

Obama’s proposals for tighter requirements formental-health reporting and banning high-capacityammunition clips should also fall within the scopeof what courts have said is permissible. So shouldreinstating a 10-year ban on high-grade, military-style weapons that expired in 2004.

Americans are tired of madmen with guns turn-ing theaters, schools and even places of worshipinto shooting ranges. It’s past time to act.

Leatherwood appeals

Convicted Marathon mur-derer and serial motion-filerLarry Leatherwood is at itagain.

Known in the court systemfor filing multiple appeals ofhis 2003 conviction of first-degree murder, Leatherwoodis appealing a recent “postconviction relief” denial tothe Third District Court ofAppeal in Miami.

In an order dated Nov. 13,Monroe County Circuit CourtJudge Luis Garcia rejectedLeatherwood’s claim that eye-witness Desjuen Hill hadrecanted her original testimo-ny about what she saw thenight Leatherwood shot chefMark Evans to death onHalloween in 2000. Theshooting took place at theEastwind Apartments onSombrero Beach Road.

Leatherwood wasted littletime, filing a handwrittenappeal on Dec. 2 stating his

desire toappeal to theThird DCA.Accordingto countycourt docu-ments, staffp r e p a r e dand sent alln e c e s s a r y

documents to the Third DCAon Jan. 10.

Leatherwood, 47, was suc-cessful in having Garciaremove defense attorneyRayme Suarez as his counselat an April 10 hearing inMarathon. But Garcia refuseda request to remove himself asjudge from the case.

Assistant State AttorneyTanner Demmery successfullyargued that Hill never recantedher testimony and that she’dsigned an affidavit confirmingit. Since it wasn’t attachedwhen Leatherwood’s appealwent to the Third DistrictCourt of Appeal, the case wasremanded back to the Keys.

Garcia’s order states the

issue before the court iswhether Hill “recanted hertrial testimony to [then]defense counsel MichaelStrickland.”

Strickland said he “couldnot recall whether the con-versation with Hill took placeat a grocery store or sometype of Halloween event.”He was also unsure of exact-ly what Hill told him duringthe alleged conversation.

According to the order,when Hill testified, she statedthat “she at no time everchanged her story” and deniedspeaking to Strickland any-where but the trial courtroom.

Garcia denied the claim,stating “the evidence at thehearing did not establish thatHill at any time ever recantedher trial testimony.”

Leatherwood was convict-ed of shooting Evans threetimes with a .44 caliber handgun. Authorities saidLeatherwood was courtingEvans’ex-wife and exchangedwords early in the evening.

Keys lowest in state joblessness

Florida’s unemploymentrate dipped to 8 percent inDecember — the lowest ratein more than four years.

And, as is usually the casewhen monthly jobs numberscome out, Monroe County —the Keys — had the lowestunemployment rate of all ofFlorida’s 67 counties.

Monroe’s rate in Decemberwas 4.5 percent, largely owingto the large number of public-sector jobs, while the highestwent to Flagler County, northof Daytona Beach, with 11.2percent, according to the stateDepartment of EconomicOpportunity.

Other counties with dou-ble-digit rates were PutnamCounty in North Florida at10.1 percent and St. Lucie

County at 10.0 percent.The drop in the statewide

rate also lowered the gapbetween the state’s joblessfigure and the national num-ber, which edged up to 7.8percent in December. Thedifference between the stateand the national unemploy-ment number had been 0.4percent in November.

Currently, 749,000 Flor-idians are unemployed, withslightly fewer than 7.4 mil-lion people holding non-agricultural employment,DEO said.

The number of jobs in thestate has actually increasedby 54,900 over the past year

while the number of non-agricultural jobs dropped by15,300 since November, butstate economists generallyunderscore the long-termtrend in both numbers.

While the unemploymentrate for Florida is calculatedusing a survey by the U.S.Census Bureau, the numberof jobs comes from a surveyby the U.S. Bureau of LaborStatistics.

According to theDepartment of EconomicOpportunity, the leisure andhospitality industry addedthe most jobs over the pastyear, adding 29,900 posi-tions for a 3.1 percentincrease. Trade, transporta-tion and utilities gained22,200 jobs, while profes-sional and business servicestacked on 18,100 jobs andprivate education and healthservices added 13,200.

The biggest drop came inthe total government sector,with 10,600 jobs shed; andconstruction, with adecrease of 6,800 jobs.

Keep courts independentJust as we are recovering from a

heated election that pitted the integrityof Florida Supreme Court justicesagainst special-interest politics, weface another challenge.

This month, a Judicial NominatingCommission sent Gov. Rick Scott thenames of six nominees for appointmentto the 4th District Court of Appeal. As aformer state senator who fought toothand nail to preserve the neutrality of ourjudicial system, I have a message for thegovernor: Keep politics out of our courts.

In the early 1970s, responding tojudicial scandals, then-Gov. ReubenAskew initiated merit selection forgubernatorial appointments of judges.He established impartial citizen judi-cial nominating commissions so thatthere would be no reason to doubt thequalifications of the nominees. In1976, Florida voters added a constitu-tional amendment for merit retention ofjudges appointed on the basis of meritselection — in effect, doubly protect-ing our independent judiciary.

Today, however, some politicians

and ideologues are mounting anaggressive campaign to stack ourcourts for the benefit of their own spe-cial interests.

All of us who believe that justicebelongs to everyone should urge the gov-ernor to assess the qualifications of judi-cial nominees regardless of their politics;to recognize the need for diversity on thebench and consider, for example, womenwith outstanding credentials; and toresist the temptation to flout the constitu-tion and make our courts a politicalextension of the executive and legislativebranches of government.

Questions need answersRe: The story “Court: Not all house-

boats are boats.” This ruling raises allkinds of interesting scenarios.

If you have a houseboat/home atyour dock, do you now have twohomes on a single-family home lot?Even though it floats, will you berequired to have flood insurance in aflood-zone area?

If it is in a floodplain zone, will yoube required to elevate this home? Canthe first floor be an occupied dwelling?Can you now get homestead exemptionsfor a vacant lot with a floating Home?

Would having a floating homeincrease the taxes on a vacant lot?Would floating homes in anchorageshave to pay property taxes?

GOP is personalMy Grand Old Party is personal.Neither is it created by a think-tank,

a public relations firm, nor is it definedby a mission statement. It is not limitedto a platform. It is a clarification of val-ues. It is meant not to be all things to allpeople, but to welcome all. I believe itis unassailable.

It starts with capital “G” for God,the origin of all that is grand and good.It includes a small “g” for governmentlimited in power as defined by ourConstitution and Bill of Rights. It isbased upon Judeo-Christian beliefs.

“O” represents opportunity, theopportunity afforded those willing toaccept ownership and personal respon-sibility for the optimism that a freesociety affords.

Finally, “P” stands for prosperity,prosperity secured by protection of per-son and property; protection not onlyfrom those who would do us harm, butalso from government interference thatinfringes upon personal and economicfreedom; and protection of cultural val-ues and traditions that enable all citi-zens to prosper.

Florida led inforeclosures in 2012

Florida posted the highestforeclosure rate in the nationin 2012, eclipsing Nevada forthe first time, according toRealtyTrac.

In Florida, 3.11 percent, orone in every 32 homes,received some sort of foreclo-sure filing last year, the Cali-fornia-based data firm said.

Much of the rising fore-closure activity representsloans that soured a long timeago, rather than a major newround of defaults.

Foreclosure activity inFlorida rose 53.5 percent in2012 from a year earlier, aslenders stepped up activityafter a long hiatus during therobo-signing controversy.With the settlement lastspring between 49 state attor-neys general and five largebanks, lenders now haveclearer guidelines on howthey can press foreclosures.

“With the Miami numberswe’re seeing the expected riseoff the artificially low num-bers in 2011 as lenders pushedthrough foreclosures delayedby questions surroundingproper foreclosure documentsand procedures,” DarenBlomquist, vice president atRealtyTrac, said in an e-mail.

While the rising numberof bank-owned sales ofhomes creates a headwind forthe housing market, theinventory of homes for salehas been so tight that thosedistressed sales haven’tproved, at least so far, to bethe onerous “other shoe” that

many had predicted.Realtors insist they don’t

expect the continued, or evenaccelerated, flow of dis-tressed properties into themarket to derail the housingrecovery in Florida.

In many cases, profession-al investors are in the wingsto snap up distressed propertyas soon as it becomes avail-able, making it tough for theaverage home buyer to get ashot at the properties.

“A lot of investors are buy-ing at the courthouse,” saidLiza E. Mendez, a broker andowner of Petro RealtyInternational in Hialeah.

“Everyone talks about theshadow inventory,” saidFrancisco Angulo, a ColdwellBanker agent and regionalcoordinator to South Americafor the National Associationof Realtors. “Well, there areshadow buyers to go with thatshadow inventory.”

The surge in foreclosureactivity in Florida came as

half the states saw increasesin foreclosure activity andhalf saw declines. Most ofthe increases occurred in“judicial” states, those thathandle foreclosures in pro-tracted court proceedingsrather than the quickeradministrative processes.

“2012 was the year of thejudicial foreclosure, withforeclosure activity increas-ing from 2011 in 20 of the 26states that primarily use thejudicial process, and a judi-cial state — Florida — post-ing the nation’s highest stateforeclosure rate for the firsttime since the housing crisisbegan,” Blomquist said.

Twenty percent of thenation’s foreclosure activitycentered on Florida last year,with some 305,766 proper-ties in some stage of foreclo-sure or owned by a bank.California ranked secondwith 14 percent of the total,followed by Illinois, whichhad 9 percent. Ohio and New

York each had 5 percent.Florida had eight of the 20

metropolitan areas with thehighest foreclosure rate,including Miami at No. 5 inthe nation; Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, at No.6; and Orlando at No. 8,RealtyTrac reported.

Within Florida, Miami-Dade County ranked secondonly to Okeechobee Countyin foreclosure activity during2012. Foreclosure activity inMiami-Dade was up 56 per-cent in 2012 to 44,284 fore-closure filings.

In tallying foreclosure fil-ings, RealtyTrac includesdefault notices, scheduledauctions and bank reposses-sions, thus a single propertywill log multiple events overthe course of a foreclosureproceeding.

Broward had 25,935 fore-closure filings of all sorts in2012, marking a 26.4 percentincrease from a year earlier,RealtyTrac data show.

When they meet inTallahassee today, Gov. RickScott and the Florida Cabinetwill be asked to agree to a no-bid contract to allow twomajor agriculture companies

to farm on Everglades land foranother 30 years — a deal thatwould include pouring tons ofphosphorous-laden fertilizeronto the site the state is spend-ing billions to clean up.

The request from FloridaCrystals and A. Duda andSons is supported by stateDepartment of EnvironmentalProtection Secretary HerschelVinyard and South FloridaWater Management Districtofficials. But environmental-ists aren’t happy.

“The state of Florida isputting 13,952 acres of stateland off the table as a possi-ble solution to future prob-lems,” said Charles Lee,director of advocacy forAudubon of Florida. “It ispassing up an opportunity.”

Environmentalists haveagreed to allow FloridaCrystals to continue sugarfarming on 7,862 acres in theEverglades Agricultural Areabecause they believe the com-pany is “holding the statehostage” and won’t allow acrucial next step to go forwardin the Everglades cleanup planif they don’t get the deal.

But environmentalistsstrongly oppose the Dudadeal, which would allow thatcompany to continue to growvegetables on 6,089 acres ofland and pump 339 tons offertilizer each year into theEverglades, exacerbating thecleanup problem the state isspending billions to fix.

They want the state torequire Duda to reduce itsphosphorous run-off inexchange for the favorableno-bid contract.

One of Marathon’s mosticonic watering holes is closedfor the foreseeable future.

Famous for its Sundaynight jam sessions and water-front Boot Key Harbor loca-tion, Dockside Bar & Grillco-owner Brian Sweeneysaid Monday that the busi-ness has been closed sincemid-December for signifi-cant renovations.

“Basically, we’re rebuild-ing the floor,” he said. “We’regoing to put in new pilingsand make the building saferthan it was. You can’t havepeople in a restaurant if you’reconcerned about the floor.”

Sweeney said the repairswere a long time comingbecause of concrete pouredimproperly some 20 years

before. He said he’s beenworking with an architectand general contractor on theproject.

Sweeney said it was an“owner’s decision” to moveforward with the remodel. Hesaid the decision did notinvolve lessees Tony andCaitrin Piscetello.

“We just decided wewanted to get it done.Whatever he has planned,we’ll discuss it with him,”Sweeney said.

Caitrin declined to discussspecifics, but said she and herhusband would not beinvolved with the reopeningof the bar.

“We are not opening itback up; we’ve removed our-selves from the location,” shesaid. “The building has need-ed repair for quite some timeand they came in to fix it.”

Dockside has undergonechange in recent years.Sweeney said it was sold to L& E Entertainment “four orfive years ago,” L & E laterdefaulted on the mortgage

and turned it back over toServais, Sweeney andJohnson Property CompanyLLC. The Piscetellos tookover one year ago.

Sweeney said he’s alreadyhad several inquiries aboutthe business, and that“you’ve got to kiss a lot oftoads” before you find theright match.

“I’ve gotten a lot of inter-est,” he said.

Sweeney added that reno-vations would likely carry onthrough the end of touristseason, so renovations won’tbe rushed. There is no targetdate to reopen, he said.

“It’s just too early to tell,”he said.

Even without jumping, Pine Crest’s 6-foot-10 Antonio Vrankovic presents a tall obstaclefor Key West’s Lanre’ Scott, who’s driving to the basket during Monday’s Conch victory.

Conchs lap defendingstate champion

Defending state champi-on Pine Crest had the height,a marvelous shooter and arenowned coach.

Key West had the legsand the grit — and in theend, legs and grit prevailed,75-71, in overtime, in a stir-ring, frenzied Martin LutherKing Day boys basketballmatinee at the BobbyMenendez Gym.

The Conchs, with a 66-64lead, appeared to be on the

verge of winning in regula-tion, but Kalvin Cline, a 6-foot-5 senior who displayeda vast array of offensiveskills in scoring 32 points,swished a shot from the topof the key at the buzzer.

Pine Crest players rusheddown the floor, believingthey had won, 67-66, but theshot was ruled a two-pointer.

“I was watching, and hehad a foot on the [three-point] line,” said Key Westcoach Anton Lopez.

The last part of the fourthquarter was a swirl ofturnovers, with both teamsfailing to execute in-boundspasses. The Conchs hadtaken a 66-64 lead whenTony German rebounded hisown missed free throw to

score a layup.The four-minute over-

time — begun before ascreaming crowd of perhaps150 — at first went PineCrest’s way. The Pantherswent ahead, 70-67, and wereset to lengthen the lead untilCline was called for anoffensive foul while drivingto the basket.

“What a home job,”fumed Pine Crest coachDavid Beckerman.

The Conchs, though,committed a turnover, andthen fouled Cline, who madeone of two free throws for a71-67 lead with a minute left.

Lady Dolphins:Champions

There will be a new ban-ner hanging in the MarathonHigh School gymnasiumnext year.

For apparently the firsttime in school history, theDolphins are the District 16-1A girls soccer champions.They defeated WestminsterChristian School Friday, 3-0,at tournament host PalmerTrinity School in Miami.

Coach Cindy Durkin saysthe shutout score was hardlyindicative of the flow of thegame. “It makes it sound a lotless close than it was,” she said.

A fortuitous bounce putthe Dolphins (9-7-3) up 1-0just after the 4:00 mark in thefirst half.

“We crossed the ball into

the box and put pressure on.Chandler [Elliot] kicked itand it went off of one of the Westminster players,”Durkin said.

The goal allowedMarathon to sit back, playmore defensively and protectits lead. The Warriorsresponded by adding an extramidfielder from its back lineto generate offense.

“They definitely went intoan attacking formation andtried to even up the game,”Durkin said, noting severalsolid saves by goalie SachaOlivera helped maintain thelead heading into halftime.

“Westminster probablyhad possession 60 percent [ofthe time] to our 40. We weretrying to hold tight to that 1-0lead,” she said.

The second half startedout much the same untilRegan Durkin got loose andfired a shot over theWestminster keeper’s headfor a 2-0 lead.

“When she scored that

goal, the team went on fire. Itwas the momentum we need-ed. The last 30 minutes of thegame, we had possession 70percent,” coach Durkin said.

For good measure theDolphins added a third goalwith just five seconds remain-ing in regulation (79:55 mark).

“We were awarded a freekick and Regan put it in andTaylor [Konrath] had a jump-ing header to put it in [thegoal]. The team played thebest I’ve ever seen them play.There were no weak points,”coach Durkin said.

The Dolphins are scheduledto host a regional playoff gameat 7 tonight against District 15runner-up Dade ChristianSchool. The Crusaders defeat-ed the Dolphins, 4-2, in a phys-ical game in Miami in mid-December.

Should they win tonight,the Dolphins would host thewinner of the District 15championship between MiamiCountry Day and Westminsteron Saturday at 7 p.m.

The Eagles (7-3) pickedup the pace in the second halfto stagger visiting DivineSavior Academy, 74-37.Island Christian hit seven 3-pointers against DivineSavior’s Sharks (1-12).

The win helped the Eaglesget back on track after arough two-loss road stretch,including a Thursday 73-50setback to Colonial Christian.

“We got a little too over-confident” after a series ofearly-season wins, Eaglecoach Marcus Martin said.

The losses to Calusa Prepand Colonial served as awakeup call.

Island Christian took a 29-22 halftime lead Fridaydespite “struggling” withshooting and execution againstthe Sharks, Martin said.

Hurricanes look to advance

Coral Shores High’s boyssoccer Hurricanes madeplans for today’s District 16-2A Tournament semifinalround, although their invita-tion was not confirmed.

The Canes (9-6-1) drewFlorida Christian forTuesday’s first-round matchagainst Florida Christian(results pending at presstime) at tournament hostRansom Everglades.

The winner of that first-round game moved to today’s7 p.m. semifinal againstGulliver Prep, holder of anopening bye.

“Not to say we’re lookingpast Florida Christian,” CoralShores head coach JorgeBosque said Monday, “but weare working on some districtscenarios that include thingswe need to get a good per-formance against Gulliver.”

The Canes defeatedFlorida Christian twice in theregular season.

If Coral Shores advanced,the Canes return to RansomEverglades today. Semifinalwinners take the fieldSaturday at Ransom’sCoconut Grove campus.

The Canes could not over-

come numbers in Friday’sregular-season finale, a 3-2loss to Keys Gate Charter.

“We played about half thematch with only nine guys onthe field after two double-yellow cards,” Bosque said.

A double-yellow cardforces the player to the side-lines, and he cannot bereplaced on the field.

The Hurricanes went up2-1 over Keys Gate on twobreakaway goals by PaulPauchey. But with Keys Gateplaying 11 against nine, theSharks scored two late goalsfor the win.

Goaltender Sal Barriosplayed a strong game againsttall odds, Bosque said.

Nine sails take the Presidential

The crew of the Viva LaVida took top honors at the23rd annual Cheeca LodgePresidential Sailfish Tour-nament, which ended Saturdayafter three days of fishing.

Anglers John Cole, JimmyFickling, Eric Darville andTravis Upchurch, guided byCapt. Nick Ewald, releasednine sailfish. Ewald won theOutstanding Captain Trophyand Fickling took homeOutstanding Mate honors.

Eighty-two anglers fishingon 23 boats from CheecaLodge in Islamorada compet-ed. Overall 104 sailfish werereleased and 125 hookups werereported. Four sailfish weretagged for future tracking.

Cole, an Alpharetta, Ga.,hair restoration doctor, said

the key to their win was run-ning for showers of sailfishand looking for the telltalesigns of birds and bait fish tolead them to the hot spots.

Cole formed the Viva LaVida team in 2005 and is nowin first place in the FloridaKeys Gold Cup Champ-ionship, which is a sailfishtournament series.

The Grand ChampionAngler was Peter Adrianfrom Miami, who released sixfish aboard the Four Aces.

Second-place team honorswent to the Reel McCoyanglers Larry Amyotte, SeanSmith, Eric Overhardt andJustin Miller. Capt. GeorgeMcElveen and mates Millerand Eric Ehlers led theanglers to nine fish wasbehind Cole’s team in time.

The Most Tagged Fish tro-phy went to Capt. Rob Dixon’sChallenger II, with anglersJessie Laboef and BrianDevries tagging two fish.

Overall, 125fish hookedin tourney

drive by burly Anthony Rice,four calmly shot free throwsby Luis Acosta and a layupby Daniel Thompson. PineCrest made two turnoversand missed a field goal in thelast 55 seconds.

“I had to make them,”Acosta, normally so-so fromthe line, said of his foul shots.

“I had faith in him,”Thompson said in the court-yard sunlight outside the gym.

Thompson, who score 16points, added, “We wanted torun them out of the gym. Theywere bigger but slower.”

The biggest of thePanthers was sophomoreAntonio Vrankovic, who, at6-10 and dubbed the CroatianSensation, towered overeveryone. He struggled in thefirst half, but scored four bas-kets in the third quarter andfinished with 12 points.

Key West was led by Rice,who had 18 points in his firstgame of the season afterbeing suspended. Thirteencame after the first half. “Itwas good to be back with myguys,” he said with a smile. “Iwas a little rusty at first.”

Elliott Valdez scored 13

points, Acosta 12, Lanre’Scott 11 and German five forthe Conchs, who improved to7-8. They were coming off arare doubleheader Fridaynight (a 70-65 victory overMonsignor Pace and a 60-43loss to Champagnat Catholic).

Pine Crest was the teamthe Conchs had expected tohost last season in the region-al finals of the state playoffs— but that game never hap-pened because Key West lostin the semifinals to end a 16-1 season.

Beckerman, the 70ishcoach (and a real-estatedeveloper), arrived at thegym Monday with the newsthat his 12-7 team wasrebuilding, that his leading

scorer was attending thepresidential inauguration,and that Cline and teammateEthan Goldman had drivendown on their own from FortLauderdale earlier in the dayafter making college visits.

Gray-haired and natty in atattersall shirt and purplepaisley tie, Beckermanharped at the officialsthroughout the game, turningto the stands with expres-sions of disbelief.

Afterward, he had somewords for his Panthers asthey got ready to leave forhome in their yellow bus.And then he left too — in aMercedes.

but let’s not let that be it forus,” he said.

The boys built a 17-point halftime lead thatdwindled to just three earlyin the fourth quarter, leav-ing a victory in doubt.

Shemar Fantroy madethe most of his first start ofthe season, following up aseason-high 14-point effortagainst WestminsterChristian School with asolid all-around perform-ance against the Falcons.

Fantroy scored 12 pointsto go along with fourrebounds, three steals andthree assists. He also playedthe point position on theDolphins’ 1-3-1 zonedefense.

“He’s got really longarms and deflected a lot ofpasses. He probably had sixor seven deflections andthree steals. The last twogames are the best he’s everplayed,” Freeman said.

Freeman said pointguard Dominic Cavitt con-tinued his good play of late,controlling the tempo of thegame. He had six points,three assists and two steals.

Nelson Rojas led theDolphins with 14 points,while Arie Stewart had sixpoints and five rebounds.

Marathon jumped out toa 14-6 lead after the firstquarter and built the lead to30-13 at the break. Rojashad eight first-half points,while Patrick Ryan had fiveand Richie Wells four.

But Palmer outscoredthe Dolphins 15-3 in thethird and closed the gap to33-28. The Falcons scoredthe first basket of the fourthquarter to make it 33-30.

But the he Dolphins builtthe lead up to seven pointswith around two minutesleft in and planned to workthe ball around and drain theclock. But Fantroy hadother ideas, nailing a three-pointer to make it a 10-pointlead to secure the win.

Palmer fouled to extendthe clock at the end of thegame and shot 6-for-9 fromthe free throw line in thefourth quarter.

The Dolphins are sched-uled to visit Key West HighSchool Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

Girls fallThe Lady Dolphins bas-

ketball team lost its Fridaygame against PalmerTrinity, 64-24.

John’Nisha Qualls ledthe Dolphins with 11points, while GardineRaymond had seven.

standouts Shaka Smith andJeremy Ford sparked a 23-point barrage that gave theEagles an insurmountable52-27 lead heading into thefinal period.

“We came out withmore fight and energy,”Martin said.

Smith, an eighth-grader,scored a game-high 29 pointswith three treys and severalfast-break buckets after take-aways. Sophomore JeremyDorn (24 points) and eighth-grader Dylan Kling (10) eachhad two 3-pointers.

Bernye Estevez ran thepoint for the Eagles, and

Chris O’Berry did a solidjob on the boards. Both arefreshmen.

“We’re still very youngand learning,” Martin said.“But we’re pretty decent.”

Cooler temps to spur catches

Rumor has it there’s a pairof cold fronts approaching. Ifthey indeed show up, hopeful-ly we’ll slip back into a morenormal wintertime fishery.

Although the fishing hasbeen excellent overall, a littleblast of cooler weather shouldspur on our seasonal pelagics,sailfish and kingfish.

The best sailfishingremains in the areas wherethere’s an abundance of bal-lyhoo on the main reef. Rightnow, that’s Islamorada andBig Pine Key.

Mixed in with the sailshave been a few kingfish andsome real nice blackfin tuna,most in the 10- to 15-poundclass, with the occasional fishover 20.

Cooler water temps willstimulate the king mackerelto feed more aggressively.They are plenty of themaround; however, it seemsthey’re waiting for the opti-mum conditions to put on thefeed bag.

With fishing conditionsmore like April than January,the yellowtail snapper bitehas been outstanding on thereef line. There are manyreports of lots and lots offlags (fish over 20 inches).

The back-to-back coldfronts predicted may put aslight damper on this fishery,

although itwill still beworth tryings i m p l ybecause thesize of thefish isextraordi-nary for thistime of year.

Quite afew nice-

size mutton snappers are min-gled with the yellowtails, so itpays to have a slightly heav-ier rod ready to go should oneshow up in your slick.

There are also smallerkings, in the 8- to 10-poundrange, as well as plenty ofnice-size cero mackerelpatrolling the main reef line.On the SeaSquared, we use ajig with a shrimp and smalltrace of wire tossed far backin our slick and retrievedquickly and erratically. If youcan find them, live pilchardsalso work well.

The week’s bestIslamorada’s Capt. Greg

Poland reports the redfishinghas been out of sight in theshallows around Flamingo.His anglers are catching themon fly, spin and with a tippedjighead with a live shrimp.

Capt. Jeff Shelar, ofCatch-Em-All Charters atCaptain Pip’s Marina andHideaway in Marathon, sawlots of great action on the reeffor kings and some bigSpanish. In the Gulf, hisanglers caught snapper, blue

runners, jacks and somemedium-size blacktip andblacknose sharks.

Shelar traveled all the wayto Tennessee Light to go sail-fishing and was rewardedwith four landings on sixhookups, to the delight ofangler John Leech from NewYork City.

The SeaSquared optedfished on the reef and in thebay.

The Deelsnyder, Duncan,Powell, Ulinski and Townsendgroups fished on the reef andnear the Seven Mile Bridge.They caught hogfish, king andcero mackerel, sheepshead,muttons, mangroves and lotsof yellowtails, many of whichwere flags. Sixteen-year-oldJordan Deelsnyder reeled in amonster 15-pound mutton on12-pound test all on her own.

The Olund and Jordangroups fished in the bay/gulfwaters and landed hogfish,snappers and cero mackerel.The highlight for Matt Jordanwas fighting and releasing a100-pound Goliath grouperalong with a few blacktipsharks.

Capt. Jeff Knapp, ofBeckoning Charters inMarathon, went five for nineon an evening tarpon trip.The fish were 20 to 70pounds, and red and whitelures were the ticket.

Capt. Moe Mottice, ofMoe’s Custom Charters atTurtle Kraals in Key West,says if you worked real hardoffshore in 350 to 400 feet you

could pick up a few wahooand skipjack tuna. On thepatch reefs in Hawk Channel,the yellowtails and a variety ofsharks kept his anglers busy.And the king and Spanishmackerel ate well in 45 to 65feet between the red and thegreen at the Key West buoy.

Fresh takes on Super Bowl classic

Looking for a few simpleways to freshen up the go-todish of the Super Bowl? Wecobbled together a mightytasty basic guacamole, thencame up with four ways to turnbasic into unbelievably good.

If sweet and heat are yourstyle, go for guac mixed withbrown sugar candied baconand hot sauce. Heat fiends willprefer the corn and chipotleblend, while those who favorthe exotic touch might like theshrimp and mango version.And for those who want it all?A roasted fresh salsa guac.

Base recipe● Four Hass avocados,

skins and pits removed.● Four teaspoons lime juice.● Half a teaspoon ground

cumin.● One teaspoon salt.● Quarter teaspoon ground

black pepper.In a medium bowl, use a

fork or potato masher tomash the avocados. The gua-camole should be mostlysmooth, but with visiblechunks. Mix in the limejuice, cumin, salt and pepper.Proceed with the recipe usingone of the following mix-incombinations.

Guacamole is best servedright away and at room tem-perature. If you must make itahead and refrigerate it,cover it with plastic wrap,gently pressing the wrap overthe entire surface of the gua-camole. This, combined withthe acid of the lime juice,should prevent the gua-camole from browning.

Start to finish: 10 minutes.Servings: 12.

Hot baconFor sweet heat bacon gua-

camole, line a rimmed bakingsheet with foil, then set a wire

rack over it. Coat the rackwith cooking spray. Arrangehalf a pound of bacon evenlyon the rack. Sprinkle the topsof the bacon liberally withbrown sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20minutes, or until the bacon islightly browned, crisped andthe sugar has caramelized. Letthe bacon cool, then cut it intobite-size chunks.

Mix a splash of hot sauce(more or less, to taste) intothe base guacamole recipe,then mix in three-quarters of the chopped candiedbacon. Sprinkle the remain-ing bacon over the gua-camole, then serve.
