For all the bitterness and
controversy swirling around
the seven “furlough days” that
have been in place for School
District employees since 2011,
the vote that ended them was
swift and uneventful.
Meeting in Key West
Tuesday night, the School
Board agreed unanimously to
do away with the furloughs,
which have been referred to
as a “pay cut,” by board member Ed Davidson and others,
since they don’t seem to meet
any board member’s definition of “furlough.”
“So moved!” District 4 mem-
ber Ron Martin exclaimed as
the roll was called. As the only
board member with experience as a Monroe County
teacher and school principal,
Martin has been particularly
vocal about the cost-saving
measure and his eagerness to
make it go away.
But there was plenty of verbal backslapping on display
during Tuesday’s vote as board
members and Superintendent
of Schools Mark Porter basked
in the opportunity to do away
with the single-biggest bone
of contention between the
board/district and the 940 or
so district employees affected
by the measure, including the
teachers represented by the
United Teachers of Monroe
union.
That organization has been
locked in lengthy negotiating
with the district over a number
of issues, with more than 20
collaborative bargaining sessions already held. Privately,
certain board members have
indicated that they saw ending the furloughs — and thus
putting more money in district employees’ paychecks
— being held hostage to talks
they saw as dragging out over
minutiae.
On Tuesday, the district and
board took that bargaining
chip off the table and handed

“Citizens’ Voice’’ is a
forum for you to
tell us what’s
on your mind.
Call the “Voice’’
at (305) 293-7900
or e-mail to [email protected].
Some of the comments will be published daily.
“Now that the silly homeless
shelter is steamrolled, can we get
an assisted living facility built?
Please?”
“Why is it that the sea turtle
nests on Truman Annex beach are
being dug up before they are due
to hatch? I know that several were
dug up only a few weeks after they
were laid. That is a shame; they will
never return to the beach on which
they were laid. And a shame that
someone gets away with digging
up a nest. Who monitors that?”
“The mayor will get his City Hall,
but what will the rest of the commission be remembered for? Not
much, unless one of them builds
a small park, a pedestrian bridge
or some other brick and mortar
project.”
“The first black homecoming
queen in Key West is on the primetime Emmy-winning show ‘The
Voice,’ and there is nothing in the
local news about it? It is a huge
plug for our small, one human
family town, and we should fully
support her.”
“To the caller who wondered if
the patient records taken in the
clinic raid were confidential: When
it comes to the government, no
records are confidential anymore.”
“The total collapse of the mayor’s
24/7 homeless care center
scheme proved that you can beat
city hall. Now leave mosquito control where it is!”
“People who feed chickens
are putting them at great risk of
disease and car strikes. They will
stop foraging and group together,
spreading disease among the population. Feeding them in parking
lots or streets will get them killed
by car strikes.”
“Last week, I was stuck in the
Fort Myers airport waiting on an
airplane. I met the loveliest lady
who was there and her flight had
been canceled, too. She was kind
and considerate, bought me dinner
and waited around to make sure
my flight went. I just want to say
thank you again to Laura. There
are so few kind and considerate
people in the world and she is
definitely one of them.”
“Only Key West city workers would
be allowed to wear earbuds and
be on the phone while painting yellow lines in the middle of Caroline
and Simonton streets during busy
hours of traffic, laying the fresh
paint while cars drive right over it.
Love this town.”
“So County Administrator Gastesi
wants to buy Rowell’s Marina. Isn’t
this is the same guy who wanted
to buy stolen iPhones? I would
question either his intelligence or
his ethics or both.”
“Please do not change North
Roosevelt now. Two-way traffic
now will be a death trap. The city
should know better.”
“Instead of building a homeless
shelter on Stock Island, put the
assisted living out there. Give the
dog shelter a sweetheart lease for
100 years, and let them build their
new facility. It would be a win-win.”

Man threatens another

MARATHON — An alert
motorist helped a deputy arrest
a knife-wielding man accused
of threatening to kill somebody
at a bus stop Saturday, according to the Monroe County
Sheriff’s Office.
Chris Daniel Conrad, 50, of
Marathon, was charged with
aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest.
The road patrol deputy was
flagged down at 2 p.m. near
55th Street and U.S. 1 by a
motorist who said he just witnessed a man threaten another
man with a knife at the bus
stop, reports say.
When the deputy approached, he reportedly saw one man

his hands in sight, but Conrad
reportedly refused, keeping his
hands in the backpack.
The deputy allegedly found
a knife in the backpack, and

Conrad had threatened to kill

Conrad was booked into

Williams speaks to garden club
Benefit for Elaine Woodson
Village offers free CPR training
The Key West Garden Club will hold
its first meeting of the year at 1:30 p.m.
Oct. 3 at West Martello. Jody SmithWilliams, founding member, membership coordinator and treasurer of the
GLEE Community Garden, will present
“Secrets to Growing Vegetables in the
Keys.”
She will offer tips on organic methods
to start and maintain a garden. The public is welcome to the lecture.
Since helping to start the community
garden in 2008, Smith-Williams’ passion
has been growing food organically, sustainably and locally.
“Nothing is as rewarding to me as eating food whose seeds I have sown and
plants I have nurtured. The garden is a
great teacher.”
A benefit for Monroe County
victim advocate Elaine Woodson
is scheduled at 6 p.m. Oct. 1 at
Boondocks Grill and Drafthouse,
27205 Overseas Highway. Funds
raised will help her with medical
expenses.
Events will include a 50/50 raffle,
bingo, silent auction and an Apple
iPad raffle. The computer raffle tickets are available at:
• Monroe County Detention
Center, 5501 College Road, Stock
Island;
• Key West Police Department,
1604 N. Roosevelt Blvd.;
• Monroe County Sheriff’s Office
substations at Cudjoe Key, Marathon,
Islamorada and Plantation Key.
The village offers free CPR training to residents
through the Islamorada Firefighters Benevolent
Association.
Class participants will learn to prevent, recognize and respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies and how to perform CPR in infants, children and adults. Those completing the class will
receive American Red Cross CPR certification.
Research shows that heart attack victims have
double the chance of survival if they are immediately given CPR. Unfortunately, most Americans
are not trained in this simple but crucial lifesaving skill. Seventy to 80 percent of cardiac arrest
emergencies happen in the home. Be prepared to
help your loved ones by taking a CPR class.
Classes will be scheduled when an adequate
number of people are interested. For more information, contact Debbie Naiser at debbie.naiser@

Man airlifted after jumping out of moving car
CITIZEN STAFF
A man who jumped from
a car going about 30 mph on
U.S. 1 Sunday was airlifted to
Miami, according to the Florida
Highway Patrol.
Troopers say Joel Enrique
Cabrera, 26, of Hialeah Gardens,
was a passenger in a north-
bound 2006 BMW driven by
Janely Stephanie Sanchez, 26, of
Hialeah, at Mile Marker 104.
“The driver and passenger
had a verbal altercation and
[Cabrera] asked [Sanchez] to
pull over to exit the vehicle,” an
FHP press release states. “When
[Sanchez] refused, [Cabrera]
jumped from the vehicle while
in motion at approximately 30
mph.”
Cabrera suffered “severe
head trauma” and was flown
to Ryder Trauma Center in

according to federal court
records.
Martinez allowed both men
to remain free on the $100,000
bail they already posted pending their sentencing.
Their nonprofit Idaho
Aquarium Inc., in Boise, Idaho,
also pleaded guilty to one
count of conspiring to violate
the Lacey Act. The organization
was represented by its director,
Amanda Davison.
Davison told Martinez the
nonprofit agreed to pay a total
of $60,000 to the federal government as per a plea agreement, but the organization will
face up to $500,000 in fines
when it is also sentenced in Key
West, on Dec. 3.
Also on Tuesday, Martinez
sentenced Ammon Covino’s
nephew, 20-year-old Peter
Covino IV of Eagle, Idaho, for
destroying case evidence for
his uncle.
Martinez sentenced the
nephew to time already served,
with two months’ home deten-
drawbacks in the law’s implementation,
while making clear that Obama was not
the one to blame. For example, he noted
that the Supreme Court said states could
not be forced to take Medicaid money to
finance the expansion of health coverage.
“That’s going to lead to a cruel result,
and there’s nothing the president can
do, and it’s not his fault. That’s what the
Supreme Court said,” Clinton said.
The hourlong appearance, sponsored
by the former president’s foundation
known as the Clinton Global Initiative,
marks the start of a concerted campaign
by the Obama administration and its allies
to inform consumers about their options
under the law.
tion and two years’ probation.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas
Watts-Fitzgerald had asked for
a year in prison, but Assistant
Federal Public Defender Daryl
Wilcox cited the younger
Covino’s clean record and his
attainment of the rank of Eagle
Scout during his argument for
leniency.
Peter Covino canceled a
shipment of nurse sharks and
rays and destroyed texts, emails
and other communications
between two Keys men and his
uncle, Ammon Covino, according to court testimony.
The Lacey Act makes it a federal offense to import, export,
transport, sell or purchase in
interstate commerce any wildlife protected at the state level.
It’s the same law used to
prosecute myriad Keys defendants in the lobster casita cases
over the past five years.
Federal wildlife agents appear
to be focusing their attention
on the illegal aquarium wildlife
trade, as the Covinos and Conk
were only some of the first to
plead in what’s been a widening array of arrests.

NEW YORK — President Barack Obama
and former President Bill Clinton took to
the same stage Tuesday to promote the
new health care law that Obama championed after Clinton’s own efforts to reform
health care years earlier fell flat.
Joining forces under dimmed lights in a
hotel ballroom in New York, Obama and
Clinton laid out the law’s benefits and its
connection to the economy while dispelling what they called disinformation about
its downsides.
Clinton, acting as host, lobbed the questions; Obama answered with the eagerness
of a guest on a daytime TV talk show.
It was a pair of presidents in dark suits,
reclining on comfy, white chairs as they
reflected on the effort that went in to
passing the sweeping law, and the intense
challenges facing its implementation.
New exchanges where Americans can buy
health insurance — a centerpiece of the
law — open for enrollment on Oct. 1.
“I don’t have pride of authorship for this
thing, I just want the thing to work,” Obama
said. He added that he was confident
Americans will be swayed by its advantages
even though polls show they’re deeply wary
of the law. “The devil you know is always
better than the devil you don’t know.”
Clinton felt free to point out some of the

ROBERT CINTRON JR.
KEN DOMANSKI
SHIRLEY FREEMAN
TODD GERMAN
The Fed’s lesson
for Congress
he U.S. economy is like
a patient recuperating from a very serious
infection. The worst is over
but, if doctors stop the antibiotics too soon, recovery could
turn into relapse.
Fortunately, on Wednesday,
the doctors — the Federal
Open Market Committee
— recognized the economy’s
vulnerable state and decided
to keep the medicine flowing.
Medicine, in this case,
refers to the Federal Reserve’s
bond-buying program, which
has had the effect of lowering
interest rates and therefore
stimulating economic activity.
The policy was initiated in the
financial crisis of 2008 — the
“infection” that wiped out trillions of dollars of net worth
and more than doubled unemployment rates.
Though many families and
individuals remain damaged,
the nation’s economy has since
managed a slow turnaround,
with rising stock and real
estate markets and an improving job picture.
A few months ago, in
fact, the recovery trajectory
looked healthy enough for
Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke to hint that the
extraordinary bond-buying
effort — the Fed’s most aggressive intervention ever — could
soon be tapered off. But then
the patient’s vital signs started
dropping. Job creation stalled,
interest rates rose (threatening
the housing recovery, as well
as the paychecks attached to
it) and data showed stagnant
income for many households.
Washington’s budget sequester began to kick in, further
suppressing an economic
rebound.
Fortunately, the team of
doctors — meeting this past
week as the FOMC — properly
assessed the patient’s distress.
Noting the nation’s low inflation rate, the FOMC made a
prudent decision: extend the
bond-buying program for a
year or more. Nudge those
interest rates back down.
As soon as the decision was
announced Wednesday, stock
T
Editorial
markets rose — good news
for pension funds, taxpayers,
workers and investors. That’s
a transitory gain, however,
and, if it isn’t accompanied
by deeper, broader growth in
jobs, the patient still won’t be
out of the woods.
There’s also the very troubling potential for a government shutdown, as Congress
convulses in another misguided attempt to “defund
Obamacare.” Top Republicans
announced Wednesday that
they won’t OK a higher debt
ceiling — expected to hit its
limit in weeks — unless the
health care law is delayed,
the tax code is rewritten and
the oil-sands pipeline from
Canada is approved.
That’s not governing; that’s
extortion. Such shameful tactics make our country look
un-creditworthy and unstable
in the eyes of the world.
In March, during another
effort by some fellow
Republicans, House Speaker
John Boehner asked: “Do
you want to risk the full faith
and credit of the U.S. government over Obamacare? That’s
a very tough argument to
make.” That argument is even
tougher to make now, as the
opportunity for enrolling in
the program’s health insurance
exchanges opens on Oct. 1.
Polls indicate that
Americans are confused and
divided over the health care
law. But it was, after all, the
signature first-term achievement of President Obama,
who then won re-election.
Its constitutionality has been
affirmed by the Supreme
Court. Increasingly, opponents
are looking like obstructionists who don’t care how much
damage they inflict as long as
they get their way.
It’s a pity they don’t take
a lesson from the Federal
Reserve team, who put the
patient first. Factions in
Congress, by contrast, seems
determined to kill it.

Building a homeless shelter benefits all of us
BY CRAIG CATES
Key West Mayor
itizens of Key West, I would like to
clear the air on some misinformation about the homeless shelter I
have been proposing.
It’s not the mayor’s shelter. It is Key
West’s shelter for the homeless.
Anyone that has been in Key
West since 2000 knows what it
was like before KOTS overnight
shelter was built. The homeless
were camping in tents and cardboard huts on the boulevard, by
the beach, in our parks and all
over Key West. The police could
not do anything about them
because we did not have a shelter. So
KOTS was built and we were able to move
them from those locations.
When I ran as mayor the first time, I
said I would address the homeless issue in
Key West and I have not wavered. I started
a homeless committee and discussed
issues and solutions. The meetings were
open to the public and minutes were
taken. The need to improve the homeless shelter to become more efficient and
effective was noted.
The idea of the mobile unit came up
also. SHAL received a grant to purchase
the motorhome and the city helped fund
its operational cost. Case workers are
able to go to the homeless that would not
come out of the encampments and help
them get the services they need, such as
getting identification so they can receive
state and federal assistance and help
them get in contact with family to return
to their hometowns.
We passed stricter camping ordinances,
stricter rules to protect our parks and
passed no-panhandling zones. But as
much as we have done, we still have a
huge issue.
Where we are today is KOTS has been
challenged by a lawsuit that we may or
may not win. The facility is on the sheriff’s
property, where they may or may not
C
renew our lease. The sheriff tells us what
hours it can operate, from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.
with no one allowed at the shelter during
the day. So, everyone leaves and are on
the streets all day looking for food, drinks
and just hanging out all over town.
Then they are fed on Flagler at the soup
kitchen or take handouts throughout
town. At the end of the day they try to
make it back to KOTS that opens
at 6 p.m. They must arrive before
9:30 p.m. or they are not allowed
in. Many just sleep wherever they
can. To be proactive and not wait
until we are forced to leave the
sheriff’s property with nowhere
to go, I proposed a shelter on the
city’s property at Easter Seals. We
know the city needs at the bare minimum
an overnight shelter.
I proposed the city selling the property
to the Monroe County Land Authority,
which collects sales tax in Key West to buy
property for affordable housing. Then
returning the property back to Key West
with a deed restriction that it will always
be used for affordable housing.
What is more basic affordable housing
than whether you stay at the shelter or
you’re homeless? Use the money from the
sale to build the shelter with no money
coming out of the city taxpayer’s pockets.
When the shelter is no longer needed,
another type of housing could be built
there. The purpose of the 24-hour shelter
is they don’t have to leave in the morning
to wander the streets all day.
At the shelter, social services could
come to them, they will have less chance
to get sick so the hospital won’t have indigent care cost of $14 million that has been
stated by the hospital, which we all end
up paying for.
Instead of taking them to jail for the
municipal ordinance offenses, we could
take them to the shelter. This would save
our Police Department valuable time
because it takes about two hours to make
an arrest. It would also save the sheriff the
cost of incarceration, which is paid for by
the city and county taxpayers.
There will be an outside covered area if
they are intoxicated and inside area like
we have now at KOTS if they are not intoxicated and behave. The soup kitchen has
agreed to feed the homeless at the shelter
and close the facility on Flagler.
The idea is to feed them at the shelter so
they have to come there and also not allow
them to camp on the streets, but give them
the option to go to the shelter or jail if they
are breaking the law. If a person is in jail,
the jail has the responsibility for their medical needs. The sheriff spent over $1 million
for the homeless last year, but at the shelter
we won’t have that responsibility.
They have a location to keep their
belongings when they try to find a job
without having to carry everything they
own on their back or hide it in the bushes.
We will not allow them to sleep on the
streets or live in the mangroves because
we will have a location to take them 24
hours a day.
We know that many homeless want the
opportunity to get back on their feet but
we also know about 25 to 30 percent have
addictions and mental issues that they
may never overcome. The ones with the
addictions will never get into some of the
great programs for housing that the nonprofits provide.
Unfortunately, the community and
police still have to deal with that percentage. Because Key West has enabled them
in the past with our kindness and generosity, the problem continues and could
increase.
I believe the shelter should be basic
protection from the elements. I believe
we should have a committee decide what
other amenities a shelter should have.
We must work together with Sheriff
Ramsay, the hospital, the Monroe County
Health Department, the nonprofits and
the County Commission to address this
issue, which is not just a Key West issue,
it’s everyone’s issue.
I Believe One Human Family is more
than a bumper sticker.
When isolationism ruled the land in ‘Those Angry Days’ of WW II
BY GEORGE WILL
The Washington Post
n January 1938, Rep.
Louis Ludlow, an Indiana
Democrat, proposed a
constitutional amendment
strongly supported by the
public: “Except in the event
of an invasion of the United
States or its territorial possessions and attack upon
its citizens residing therein,
the authority of Congress to
declare war shall not become
effective until confirmed by
a majority of all votes cast
thereon in a Nation-wide referendum.” Although narrowly
defeated, 209 to 188, it might
have passed without President
Franklin Roosevelt’s last-minute opposition.
During Barack Obama’s,
shall we say, sinuous progress
toward a Syria policy, he has
suggested, without using the
word, that isolationism is
among his afflictions. During
his news conference-cumsoliloquy in Russia, he said:
“These kinds of interven-
I
tions . . . are always unpopular
because they seem distant
and removed. . . . I’m not
drawing an analogy to World
War II other than to
say, when London
was getting bombed,
it was profoundly
unpopular both in
Congress and around
the country to help
the British.”
He wisely disavowed (while insinuating)
this analogy, lest Americans
wonder which is more
implausible, casting Bashar
al-Assad as Hitler or himself
as Roosevelt. But the term
“isolationism” is being bandied as an epithet, not to
serve as an argument for U.S.
military interventions but as
a substitute for an argument.
To understand the debate that
roiled America before World
War II is to understand why
today’s reservations about
interventionism are not a
recrudescence of isolationism.
In “Those Angry Days,” a
new history of the intense
nationwide controversy about
whether America should enter
World War II, Lynne Olson
concludes that “by December
1941, the American
people had been
thoroughly educated
about the pros and
cons of their country’s entry into the
conflict and were far
less opposed to the
idea of going to war
than conventional wisdom has
it.” Events, especially the fall of
France, were most educational. Before this, however, isolationism was broadly embraced
as a rational response for an
America situated between two
broad oceans.
“Of the hell broth that is
brewing in Europe,” wrote
Ernest Hemingway in 1935,
“we have no need to drink.”
America’s military — what
little there was: the Army’s size
was 17th in the world, behind
Portugal’s — largely agreed.
The Neutrality Acts banned
U.S. arms sales to countries at
war and denied Roosevelt the
power to apply the prohibition
only against aggressor nations.
FDR’s enormous domestic
policy blunder — his attempt
to pack the Supreme Court,
for which he was resoundingly rebuked in the 1938
midterm elections — made
him extremely tentative
about attempting to lead
public opinion regarding U.S.
involvement in Europe. Others
were not bashful.
Yale University incubated
the America First organization.
An undergraduate, Kingman
Brewster, later Yale’s president and U.S. ambassador to
Britain, was a founder. Other
Yale student-members included future Supreme Court
Justice Potter Stewart, future
President Gerald Ford and
Sargent Shriver, future head
of the Peace Corps under his
brother-in-law President John
Kennedy, who as a Harvard
undergraduate sent $100 to
America First.
Olson writes that people
from many antiwar organizations with “Mothers” in their
titles swarmed over Capitol
Hill: “Dressed in black, many
with veils covering their faces,
the women made life miserable for members of Congress
who were not avowedly isolationist. They stalked their
targets, screamed and spat at
them, and held vigils outside
their offices, keening and wailing.” When an interventionist
congressman said he refused
“to sit by a traitor,” the offended isolationist knocked him
down with what the House
doorkeeper called the best
punch thrown in the chamber
in 50 years.
In October 1940, conscription began — for 12 months.
By August 1941, training
camps were chalked with the
acronym OHIO — “Over the
Hill in October.” Four months
before Pearl Harbor, the House
extended conscription for a
year. The 203 to 202 vote was
secured only by Speaker Sam
Rayburn’s parliamentary trickery.
Olson says that in 1940,
when the intervention-
ist Wendell Willkie, the
Republicans’ presidential
nominee, campaigned, isolationists pelted him with
“everything from rotten eggs,
fruits, vegetables, rocks, and
light bulbs to an office chair
and wastebasket,” and “The
New York Times ran a daily box
score of the number of items
thrown and those that found
their target.” Montana’s Burton
Wheeler, a senator since 1923,
compared Lend-Lease for
Britain with FDR’s program for
plowing under crops to raise
prices. He said Lend-Lease
“will plow under every fourth
American boy.”
It is preposterous to equate
today’s mild debates about
foreign policy with the furies
unleashed by, and against, real
isolationism. Yet again, ignorance of history causes us to
disparage the present.

Obama: Harlem ‘cultural gem’
Govt. seeks Fla. lawsuit dismissal
Miss Piggy, Kermit reunited
Extolling the virtues of Harlem’s rich
cultural history, Michelle Obama hosted a luncheon for the spouses of foreign
dignitaries Tuesday in the historic New
York City neighborhood she described
as “quintessentially American.”
The first lady spoke to about 50 spouses of chiefs of state and heads of government who are attending the U.N. General
Assembly. The group toured The Studio
Museum in Harlem, which was founded
in 1968 by artists and civic and community leaders to provide space for modern
and contemporary black art.
Obama discussed Harlem’s place in the
early 20th century as the heart of U.S.
black culture, pointing to famous writers
and musicians like Langston Hughes, Zora
Neale Hurston and Louis Armstrong.
The Obama administration on Tuesday
sought dismissal of a lawsuit by a Tampa,
Fla., businesswoman whose complaint to
the FBI led to Gen. David Petraeus’ ouster as
CIA director. If a federal judge allows the lawsuit by Jill Kelley to proceed, the case could
delve into the roles played in the Petraeus
scandal by the FBI, the Pentagon and other
parts of the Obama administration.
Kelley wants to find out who in the U.S.
government leaked her name and some of
her emails to the news media amid the uproar
over Petraeus’ affair with Paula Broadwell,
author of a biography on Petraeus. The leaks
placed Kelley in the middle of an avalanche
of unfavorable publicity and as a result, she
shouldered the blame as the villain in the
downfall of Petraeus and Gen. John Allen,
the lawsuit states.
Miss Piggy is finally joining
her love, Kermit the Frog, in the
Smithsonian Institution’s collection
of Jim Henson’s Muppets, and Bert
and Ernie will have a place in history, too.
Henson’s family, including his
daughter, Cheryl Henson, donated
more than 20 puppets and props
Tuesday to the National Museum of
American History to accompany the
earlier donations of Kermit, Oscar
the Grouch and early Henson creations.
The newest donation includes
Miss Piggy and some of her co-stars
from “The Muppet Show,” including
Fozzie Bear, Rowlf the piano-playing
dog, Scooter and the Swedish Chef.

“Can I help?” Romero asked

She said she had done two

“I’m running a low-budget

handily defeated her in 2011.
This event had no questionand-answer volleys, no stump

for the Utility Board seat made
vacant by the retirement of Lou
Hernandez.
Another contender is Cheryl
Cates, a Realtor and the mayor’s wife, who is a member
of Girls Night Out and comfortably moved through the
crowd addressing many by first
name.
Vidal, the third Utility Board
candidate, was a no-show,
although he had RSVP’d,
Hoover said.
Missing this function wasn’t
an option, said Weekley,
Romero and the Cateses.
Cheryl Cates said she liked
the Girls Night Out candidate
event’s
no-stump-speechrequired format.
“It lightens it up a little bit,”
she said of her first election,
which over the weekend veered
into “Mean Girls” territory on
Facebook.
City Commissioner Tony
Yaniz, a political foe of Mayor
Cates, posted a comment on
his Facebook page saying the
mayor’s wife wasn’t qualified
to represent Key West on the
Utility Board.
“Unless standing...throughout the Bahamas with a daiquiri in her hand during the
Cates’ 2 month vacation in the
islands counts for experience!”
Yaniz posted.
Mayor Cates, who is retired
and earns $16,000 a year from
the city, likes to take off the
month of July for vacation,
which means missing the city’s
annual budget hearings.
Yaniz’s Facebook comment
exchange then prompted a
man to chastise the mayor for
having a “yacht” and a “silver
spoon.”
A comeback emerged from
one of the Cates’ daughters,
who typed out a lengthy defense
of her parents work ethic and
charity contributions — only
to have the “yacht” scoffer
snap back that he would never
again vote “for anyone named
Cates.”
Attorney Robert Cintron
tried to make peace, posting,
“This is all quite unfortunate!
What happened to one human
family? Just a trite expression?”
Then Yaniz snapped at
Cintron, who posted that he
had grown confused over the
argument and was bowing out.
So on Tuesday, candidates for
king, queen and the local government enjoyed the drinksand-snacks vibe at Grunts.

potential, Hoover pointed out.
Girls Night Out has some 750
members on its Facebook page
and an additional 1,600 on an
email list, said Hoover, who
estimates the membership
reaches at least 2,300.
“This could sway an election,” she said while selling
strips of tickets for the 50-50

to AIDS Help.
The candidates in both
October elections worked the
room in earnest.
Sandra Duffey, an AIDS

the room, where most women

Duffey said, “We all have to

Coral
Schools
Interuniversity Institute for
Marine Sciences in Eilat,
Israel, have partnered to test
the effects of ocean acidification and rising sea temperature. The researchers gathered for two weeks at Mote’s
Summerland Keys lab to further their research.
The ecologists focused on
two species of coral found in
the Florida Keys — Porites
porites, commonly called finger coral, and Porites astreoides, commonly referred to as
mustard hill coral.
Mote’s lab looked like a minidisco tech as the two species
of coral were exposed to bright
red, blue and purple LED lights,
mimicking differing scenarios of sunlight. The ecologists
also altered the pH levels and
temperatures in the water to
create different environmental
conditions that corals in the
wild could be exposed to in
the future if pH levels and temperatures continue to rise.
it directly to their workers, to
the delight of one of the most
visible of those employees.
“The motion carries. Bravo,”
said Sally Abrams Smith,
administrative aide to Porter.
Though the unanimous verdict does nothing to undo the
damage inflicted on employees’ bottom lines for the past
two years, it prevents more
damage happening for a third
year. Porter has previously
stated that the money to pay
for the lifting of the furloughs
will be taken from the existing,
balanced district budget.
“Once again, I want everyone
to recognize that it’s your neighbors and friends and people in
your school communities that
are buying back your furlough
days,” Davidson said during
debate on the measure, adding,
“The government didn’t give a
nickel for all our worker bees
... the School Board is funding
this 100 percent ... this is really

From left, Mote Marine coral interns Joseph Mandara, Breanna
DeGroot and Christina Kennedy meticulously measure the surface
area of coral specimens.
The researchers are also
looking at the corals on a
microbial level and researching several other physiological
parameters of coral to see how
ocean acidification is impacting them.
“We are looking at this at so
many levels,” said Maoz Fine,
a coral ecologist and expert in
the field of ocean acidification
at the Interuniversity Institute
for Marine Sciences. “That’s
how we will understand how
this system will respond to
changing environmental conditions.”
The research could help
Mote and other ocean conservation groups determine
what species and genotypes of
coral fare better against ocean
acidification and other stresses. This would give them guidance on what types of coral
to rear in the coral nurseries
and replant back on the reef,
said Emily Hall, a coral ecolo-
gist with Mote working on the
ocean acidification study.
Mote, The Nature Conservation and the Coral Restoration Foundation have a halfdozen coral nurseries throughout the Keys, where they rear
coral that is later planted on
the reef or used for research
purposes.
“This could allow Mote and
others to focus its restoration
efforts,” Hall said. “We can
see what different species and
genotypes do better or worse.”
Mote researchers plan to do
similar work with Fine on Red
Sea corals in December, Hall
said.
“This partnership (with
Interuniversity Institute for
Marine Sciences) has allowed
us to not only look at this with
a global perspective, but also
see how each of these reefs is
responding to these changes,”
Hall said.

a financial rectification from
the community. We’ve cut some
other corners to make this right.
Good riddance to the furlough
days.”
District 4 member John Dick
concurred: “It was the board’s
decision first,” he said.
Porter also expressed
approval over the board’s vote.
“Thank you to the board,”
he said. “[The vote] ends a
two-year period that’s been
very difficult. I do know that
many of the tough decisions ...
have in part contributed to our
ability to do this ... . It doesn’t
make everyone whole, but it
was the right thing to do.”
Also at Tuesday’s meeting, the board voted to sign a
new contract with employee
drug plan provider Envision
Prescription Options, a passthrough plan similar to the
current scheme.
And an action item to cut
a check to former district
employee Bill Sprague was
pulled from the agenda at the
last minute by the superintendent, due, he said, to Sprague
being out of the country.
Sprague served as the district’s representative to contractor Coastal Construction
during a part of the construction of Horace O’Bryant
School, and was entitled to
a percentage of savings realized during the project. Board
member Davidson, however,
has publicly rejected the math
upon which Sprague’s request
for compensation is based.
In addition, the board discussed preparations for the
superintendent’s
annual
review, as well as the fallout
from Gov. Rick Scott’s decision
to withdraw from the federal
Partnership for Assessment
of Readiness for College and
Careers (PARCC), a move that
caught many observers flatfooted, as it is seen as critical
to the success of the upcoming
Common Core Curriculum.
The superintendent also
canceled a workshop scheduled for Oct. 8. The board
meets next at 5 p.m. Oct. 22 at

Officials: US, Russia still at odds over Syria
BY MATTHEW LEE
UNITED NATIONS — U.S. and Russian negotiators remain at odds on a U.N. Security Council
resolution that would hold Syria accountable if
it fails to live up to pledges to dismantle its
chemical weapons stockpiles, American officials said Tuesday, as President Barack Obama
warned the world body that it risks its credibility
and reputation if it does not act.
Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met for nearly
90 minutes at the United Nations and though
progress was made in some areas, they were
unable to reach agreement on the text of a resolution that would meet Obama’s standard, the
officials said. The officials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not authorized to
discuss publicly the closed-door meeting.
Kerry told reporters after the meeting that the
session had been “very constructive.”
Three senior officials familiar with the effort
say negotiations remain a work in progress
as the U.S. pushes for a binding, enforceable,
verifiable arms-control regime that strips Syria
of its entire chemical weapons stocks and
facilities. The U.S. also is demanding that the
resolution not contain ambiguities or loopholes, they said.

Woman completes five-month
solo row from Japan to Alaska
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A 28-year-old British
adventurer became the first woman to row solo
across the North Pacific Ocean on Monday,
arriving in Adak in Alaska’s Aleutians after 150
days and 3,750 miles at sea.
Sarah Outen celebrated with a bottle of
champagne and greeted community members
and supporters, her first human contact in
nearly five months, the Anchorage Daily News
reported.
She left Japan on April 27. It is part of her
plan for a global trek by an ocean rowing shell,
kayak and bike.
On Monday afternoon Outen came within
a half mile of land before winds and current
started pushing her onto the rocks. Her support team decided it was safer to tow her into
Adak’s small boat harbor.
In recent days she was nearly hit by a cargo
ship after her radar failed. Outen also tweeted
about whiteout fog and exhaustion-induced
hallucinations in the final, treacherous miles
to Adak.
Johnson wrote that Outen plans to return
to the point she was towed in to shore in the
spring of 2014 to continue her expedition by
kayak.
Outen’s first attempt ended in 2012 when
she and another ocean rower had to be rescued near Japan after their boats were badly
damaged in a tropical storm.

The 312-pound Austin was a second-round
pick by the New York Giants in 2011, but he
battled injuries and played in just eight games

Austin last month.
Martin, a fifth-year pro, played as a reserve

After a rough patch that featured tough losses at the hands of district opponents Ransom
Everglades, Gulliver Prep and Florida Christian,
the Lady ’Canes team decided to put the focus
back where it was needed; playing their game
and doing it the best they know how, all out. That
mentality showed with a 3-0 (25-8, 25-8, 25-14)
victory on Tuesday afternoon against visiting
Keys Gate.
Leopold
Hanson
Helphrey
Ellie Leopold and Brooklyn Irwin were tenacious in the back defensively eating up anything
and everything Keys Gate could hit at them.
Leopold also lead them team again rattling off
14 kills, as coach Andy Thiery said, “picking her
spots and putting them down.”
The coach also said senior leader and setter
Amber Hanson — who has been a model of
hard work on the court as of late — showed
up again Tuesday doing a great job setting the
table for all of the ’Cane hitters.
Melissa Helphrey picked up 3 kills on a light
hitting night but served 16 points for the ’Canes
in the two sets she played.
“Everyone got in, everyone did their job,” said
Thiery. “It was 100 percent team effort from the
first whistle to the last.”

PREP SWIMMING: MONSIGNOR PACE AT KEY WEST, FKCC AQUATICS CENTER, 4 P.M.
Kimberlee Reed keeping Key West on the move
BY RON COOKE
Citizen Staff
KEY WEST — As the Key West
swim team prepares for a home
meet this afternoon at 4 p.m. against
Monsignor Pace, it might be the
final season in a Lady Conchs’ swim
cap for sophomore Kimberlee Reed
and twin sister, Kristen Reed.
The Reed sisters are part of a
Coast Guard family and could be
relocating at the end of the school
year.
The 15-year old said moving is
not something she really enjoys,
especially half way through high
school, but she said she loves her
home state of Virginia.
Q: Where all have you lived in
your life?
A: I was born in Virginia and
moved a lot. We actually
lived down here when I was
about three then we were
in California, Virginia,
Massachusetts and a lot of different places.
Q: Do you
like Key
West?
A: Yes, but
I miss
Virginia.
Q: Will you get to finish your
high school career at Key
West High School?
A: Actually, we may be moving
soon. It’s either going to be
next year or at the end of the
school.
Q: How long you been swimming?
A: For the high school team, this
year and last year. I’ve been
doing like summer league
since I was really young.
Q: What is your favorite swimming stroke?
A: Freestyle.
Q: Did you think you’d fare so
well this early in the season?
A: No, not really, I thought I
was going to be pretty rough,
but I improved more than I
thought I would.
Q: Was the 26 (seconds) a PR
in the 50?
A: Yes, I was really surprised
because I had been swimming like 28s. I don’t know
how I pulled it off.
Q: You’ve raised the bar pretty
high; think you can surpass
that time?
A: I don’t know, we’ll see.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Duke Johnson feeling rested
after Miami’s first 3 games
BY TIM REYNOLDS
LYNNE SLADKY /The Associated Press
Miami running back Duke Johnson (8) celebrates with fullback
Maurice Hagens (33) after scoring a touchdown during the first half
Saturday against Savannah State in Miami Gardens.
CORAL GABLES — This
time last year, Miami running back Duke Johnson was
starting to feel a whole lot of
football wear-and-tear type of
pain. Eventually, it got to the
point where it not only hampered his play, but even kept
him from walking around
normally.
These days, nothing hurts.
That might be a great sign for
No. 15 Miami, with the Atlantic
Coast Conference schedule
now looming just a little more
than a week away.
Johnson and the Hurricanes
(3-0) hit the road for the first
time this season on Saturday,
visiting South Florida (0-3).
And Johnson figures to be
well-rested — since the end of
the Florida game, now almost
three weeks ago, Miami’s top
offensive weapon will have got-
ten all of nine touches. He can’t
recall the last time he felt so
fresh at this point of a season,
high school or college.
“It’s huge,” Miami coach Al
Golden said. “It’s such a big
factor in terms of keeping our
guys fresh. We only have five
guys who are averaging over
45 plays a game right now and
that’s huge. So that’s money in
the bank, now. We’ve got to use
it now. We’ve got to work hard
and get stronger, not atrophy,
not lose weight, do all the little
things right.”
Johnson was the first one in
the Miami training room the
day after the Hurricanes grinded out a win over Florida, saying everything was sore. The
Hurricanes didn’t play the following week, and then Johnson
was barely needed in the win
over Savannah State, a 77-7
runaway, record-setting win
for Miami.
He put on eight more pounds
of muscle over the offseason in
anticipation of a bigger workload. So far, the Hurricanes
haven’t had to tax him much —
but his results haven’t dipped,
either. Johnson has a touchdown in all three of Miami’s
games this year, extending his
streak to seven straight going
back to 2012.
“Knowing that around this
time last year, I think it was my
ankle that was the problem,”
Johnson said. “I could barely
walk, I could barely practice
without it bothering me. I’m
not battling any injuries right
now. I’m 100 percent healthy.”
To say that, even three games
into season, is rare, Johnson
said.
“It’s not typical,” Johnson
said. “But coach Golden is
taking care of us, making sure
we’re ready to go.”
Johnson ran the opening
kickoff back 95 yards against
Savannah State, carried the ball
eight more times for 59 yards
after that, then got the rest of
the night off. He had 20 total
touches against Florida Atlantic
and 26 against Florida, and had
no qualms about getting only
nine against the overmatched
Tigers.
“The way coach takes care of
us is something that makes him
different from a lot of coaches,”
Johnson said. “Most coaches
probably would have left us in
a little bit longer and had a
chance of us getting hurt. He
pulled the strings early, got us
out, got us rested.”
What Johnson didn’t get after
leaving the Savannah State
game was the rest of the night
off. Golden, he said, put him
to work.
“Coach Golden was real
strict about us coaching the
other guys behind us to get in
there, make plays and finish,”
Johnson said. “It was good to
see.”
No. 20 Florida relying on
stout defense once again
BY MARK LONG
GAINESVILLE — Florida defensive
tackle Dominique Easley wore a red
sweat shirt with a gold football helmet on the front and the word “BEST”
underneath it on campus Tuesday.
Easley bought it in Miami because
he liked the colors.
It seemed somewhat appropriate to throw on this week. The 20thranked Gators lead the Southeastern
Conference in just about every major
defensive category. Florida (2-1, 1-0
SEC) tops the league in scoring (14.7
points a game), rushing (55.3 yards
a game) and passing (157 yards a
game).
Coach Will Muschamp’s unit
didn’t allow Toledo, No. 15 Miami
or Tennessee to gain more than 220
yards and has been at its best on third
down (19 percent).
Now, with quarterback Jeff Driskel
out for the season with a broken
right leg, the Gators might rely on the
defense more than ever before.
“We’re not afraid to punt the ball,”
offensive coordinator Brent Pease
said Tuesday, summing up the state
of the team.
The defense has played well enough
for Florida to be unbeaten. The Gators
held the Hurricanes to 212 yards,
including 76 over the final 11 possessions, but lost 21-16 thanks to five
turnovers.
Nonetheless, the Gators believe
they can play better. They want perfection, which they define as a shutout and three turnovers. They haven’t
witnessed it in more than a year — a
lengthy wait they would like to see
end Saturday at Kentucky (1-2).
“Those guys have got to continue
to play well,” Muschamp said. “You’re
only as good as your next game. That’s
Lady Conchs
Continued from page 1B
“We had moments where it would come together, but then we
would get into runs where they just made one mistake after another
and it doesn’t seem to click,” said Butler.
Ryann Appleby had three kills and four aces in the match to go
along with an impressive 10 blocks, leading the Lady Conchs on
Tuesday.
“She really was a great force at the net today blocking,” Butler said
about Appleby. “She shut them down. The thing about Ryann is that
she played last year, but she never played the back row, so she too is
our mentality and we’ve got to understand that whatever we’ve done to this
point really doesn’t matter.”
The Gators rank second in the
nation in total defense, up three spots
from where they finished last season.
It’s been somewhat surprising
considering Florida lost seven defensive starters after 2012. But the team
has experienced little, if any, growing pains while replacing defensive
linemen Sharrif Floyd, Omar Hunter
and Lerentee McCray, linebackers Jon
Bostic and Jelani Jenkins and safeties
Matt Elam and Josh Evans.
Muschamp expressed concern
before the season about how stout the
defense would be up the middle.
But Easley has wreaked havoc on
offensive lines. Middle linebacker
Antonio Morrison has emerged as the
team’s top tackler despite being suspended for the season opener. And former cornerbacks Cody Riggs and Jaylen
Watkins have played well at safety.
Several youngsters have made significant impacts, too.
Sophomore defensive end Dante
Fowler was named the SEC defensive player of the week after recording three tackles for loss, two forced
fumbles and a sack against Tennessee.
And freshman cornerback Vernon
Hargreaves III intercepted two passes
new to passing and defense. So even though she’s our most seasoned
player she, and we all, have growing to do.”
Key West will have a chance to continue working on its mistakes
on Thursday when the Lady Conchs head to Coral Shores for a junior
varsity and varsity match, the latter to begin at 5:30 p.m on the Lady
Hurricanes’ home court.
“We are just behind the eight ball to start the season,” said Butler.
“But from all the girls, even the ones that are on the bench for the
games, I see improvement and that’s what we have to shoot for.
Everything we do in games or in practice we have to work on getting
better. I do see that improvement and even though it’s not tallying out
into wins I do see them getting better.”

Q: You’ll get to finish the school year?
A: Oh yes.
Q: You will continue swimming?
A: Yes.
Q: Will you swim in college?
A: It’s a possibility. I want to, but I’ve got to

LISTEN CLOSELY
TO THE AUCTION
By Phillip Alder
Thomas Fuller, an English
curate, author and historian
who died in 1661, said, “If
thou art a master, be sometimes blind; if a servant,
sometimes deaf.”
If thou art a bridge player, be never deaf nor blind.
Listen carefully to the auction
and watch closely every card
played.
In today’s deal, South did
not draw the logical conclusion from the auction. Look
at his hand. He dealt and
opened one spade, West overcalled one no-trump (strong),
and North responded three
diamonds. After East passed,
what should South have
done?
West’s choice of overcall
would not have appealed to
everyone. It described the
hand strength, but hid her
five-card major.
North’s
three-diamond
response described her hand
well -- a good long suit and
nothing else. (With a strong
hand, she would have doubled for penalty.) South had
no extra values and no good
fit for diamonds, so he should
have passed, reaching a contract that could have been
made.
Three no-trump, though,
had no chance. West, thinking that her partner had no
points, led the heart two,
which was theoretically
fourth-highest. She purposely
falsecarded.
South, thinking West had
the spade ace and queen, won
with his heart jack, played a
diamond to dummy’s jack,
and led a club to his queen.
West won and continued with
the heart nine. South won
and played another diamond,
but West took her ace and
cashed her three heart tricks.
East discouraged in spades,
and South also pitched two
spades. Then West accurately
exited with a club, leaving
South stuck in his hand. The
contract went down four.

several people over here, and if that’s
not complicated enough, I appear to
be pregnant. I don’t know what to tell
my husband. I actually still kind of
love him. Advice? -- DEPLOYED AND
PREGNANT
DEAR DEPLOYED: You
need to make certain you are
pregnant and that this is not a
false alarm. Whether you are
or not, you have some difficult
decisions to make.
While it won’t be pleasant, you
and your husband are due for an
honest conversation upon your
return. If you both “still kind
of” love each other, forgiveness
is possible, and couples have
been known to get beyond this and
have successful marriages.
DEAR ABBY: The “rule” that white
pants can be worn only from Memorial
Day to Labor Day needs to be
amended. I love my white pants. They
go with nearly everything, and I almost
cry when they must be stored away
for another nine months. Ridiculous!
My proposal would be to extend the
grace period so it begins on Easter
Sunday and lasts until Halloween. How
does that sound? -- MARILYN IN SAN
MARCOS, CALIF.
DEAR MARILYN: You will be
delighted to know that according to
“Emily Post’s Etiquette, 18th Edition,”
that old rule about wearing white no
longer applies. What’s important isn’t
the color, but the weight of the fabric.
Here in Southern California,
summer can start late and continue
through
October.
Lightweight
fabrics such as cotton and linen are
acceptable during hot weather, and
when the temperature drops, “winter
whites” in wool, corduroy, silk and
satin are common, although usually
in off-white shades rather than a stark
one.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 21, and my
16-year-old sister is out of control.
She told me she smokes marijuana,
drinks alcohol, abuses painkillers and
recently mentioned she does coke.
Abby, she is beautiful, and I don’t
want to see her do this to
herself. She’s living with me
about an hour away from my
parents because Dad is an
alcoholic and he abuses our
mother. I brought my sister
here to get her away from all
that because I know what it was
like growing up there.
I’m having trouble giving
her advice to stay away from
those things because I did
them, and I feel like a hypocrite. My
parents can’t get through to her, either.
Please help. -- TRYING TO BE A BIG
SIS
DEAR TRYING: You’re lucky you
were able to straighten out without
becoming addicted to any of the
substances you experimented with,
but your sister may not be so lucky.
Because she’s out of control, you MUST
step in and put a stop to it for her sake.
Your sister needs counseling,
and if she is going to remain your
responsibility, it is imperative that
you assert control. Talk to her school
counselor about getting her the help
she needs. You may have to drug-test
your sister on a random basis as a
condition of her continuing to live
with you. Kits are available at your
pharmacy.
Stop feeling guilty, stay strong, and
you may be able to steer your sister
back on the right path.
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 23-year-old
soldier in the Army, currently deployed
overseas. I’m less than a month away
from returning home to my husband.
However, I have not been faithful to
him during my tour. I have had sex with

CLAIRE HURD
he mission statement of Monroe County
Animal Control is “to promote responsible
pet ownership, animal care, and community
safety; increase adoptions, and reduce pet
overpopulation. Animal Control strives to treat the
symptoms of irresponsible pet ownership while
seeking to eliminate the causes by compassionately
using education and enforcement measures.”
To accomplish this ambitious mission, Monroe
County engages the services of independent
contractors to provide services seven days a week.
From Key West to mile marker 16.7, animal control
is managed by the Florida Keys SPCA; mile marker
16.7 to 70 is managed by Safe Harbor Animal Rescue
of the Florida Keys (SHARK); and mile marker 70
through Key Largo is managed by the Humane
Animal Care Coalition. These agencies provide
animal shelter, control and licenses. They offer pets
for adoption during regular business hours.
Dogs, cats and ferrets must be licensed and
properly vaccinated for rabies. The one-year license
fee for a dog or cat that has been altered is $10,
while an unaltered pet license costs $35. Three year
licenses, available only for pets that have received
the 3-year rabies vaccine, cost $25/$75. Discounts
are available for microchipped pets. Ferret licenses
are $6 per year. Litters of cats and dogs also need to
be registered in Monroe County before birth.
If your dog is found running “at large,” Animal
Control may pick it up. Owners will have to pay a
pick-up fee to retrieve their pet, and the fee escalates
in cases when the animal is picked up repeatedly
during a 12-month period. Additional fines or fees
for owning an at-large animal will be assessed if the
owner is unable to provide proof of rabies vaccine,
and in cases when the animal is not altered.
A “nuisance animal” is poetically described in
section 10-2 of the Key West Code as “an animal
or poultry that howls, barks, meows, caws, crows,
shrieks, squawks, or makes other bothersome noises,
for continued duration, or upon three or more
occasions during any nine-hour period from 10:00
p.m. to 7:00 a.m., so as to disturb, across a residential
or commercial property line, the reasonable peace
and quietude of any person…” Using fewer florid
terms, the Marathon Code expands the nuisance
noise prohibition to “bothersome noises any time of
the day or night.”
Despite the free-running “gypsy chickens” found
around town, the citizens of Key West are permitted
to keep live poultry only in screened coops or pens.
Livestock such as cows, goats or sheep are allowed in
very limited zoning districts.
Regulations county-wide prohibit owners from
allowing their animals to defecate in areas such
as school playgrounds and public parks, except in
designated areas. Owners are always required to
remove dog feces from public and private property.
When a citizen wants to lodge an animal complaint,
they can contact Animal Control, Code Compliance,
or in emergencies the Monroe County Sheriff or Key
West Police Department.
Dogs in outdoor restaurant areas are legal in
some parts of the Florida Keys. This is because
pursuant to the Florida Statutes “Dixie Cup Clary
Local Control Act,” Marathon and Key West have
elected an exemption from FDA regulations that
prohibit dogs in food service establishments. Local
restaurants that want to accommodate domestic
pets and their owners must apply for a permit, and
comply with stringent regulations including signage,
location, hand washing and adequate insurance
coverage.
In unincorporated areas of Monroe County, the
number of dogs, cats and ferrets is unrestricted, so
long as animals are “properly licensed, vaccinated,
housed and cared for, do not cause a nuisance, and
other housing or association rules are complied with.”
In Key West and Marathon, pet owners are limited to
four domestic animals, unless operating a licensed
kennel or pet shop. The Key West City Commission
is authorized to make specific exemptions to the
number of domestic pets allowed, upon a finding of
“historical, social or tourism significance,” which is
one reason why the Hemingway cats have thrived
to this day.
Animal Control is a broad-ranging subject, and
more information can be found in Chapter 4 of the
Monroe County Code of Ordinances, Chapters 10
and 109 of the Key West Code of Ordinances, and
Chapter 5 of the Marathon Code of Ordinances. All
of these regulations can be accessed online through
the website: municode.com. Additional regulations
regarding domestic animals are also found in State
and Federal statutes.

RACHEL SIMPSON
M
any of us would do anything for our
pets, even if that means spending large
amounts of money at the veterinarian’s
office. Medical procedures, such as radiation and
MRIs have most recently become available for
our furry family members; unfortunately these
procedures can be incredibly expensive. In
this case, it might be time to start investigating
pet insurance. Pet insurance is very similar to
our health insurance; policies have co-pays,
deductibles, and annual spending limits. There
are several pros and cons to weigh when deciding
to invest in a plan. According to the American
Veterinarian Association, the majority of dogs
and cats in the United States are not insured.
Instead of investing in a pet insurance policy,
some pet owners may choose to place emergency
money in a savings account in preparation for any
unwarranted veterinarian bills. If you believe pet
insurance could be the right option for you, it is
important to pay careful attention when shopping
for the best policy.
Shopping for insurance is not a walk
through the park, but this investment may save
your little friends. While looking for insurance
there are a few things that you need to know.
In Florida, the insurer must be registered with
state regulators. Evaluate different plans before
making your decision. You should select several
plans and compare them. Annual deductibles,
reimbursement levels, and maximum benefits
may vary by provider and policy. Do not hesitate to
ask questions directly to your future provider. It is
essential to find out if claim payments are written
according to the insurance companies benefit
schedule or your veterinarian bill. Scrutinize the
plan, does it cover chronic conditions? If you are
considering different polices, assess if the plan
covers pre-existing problems such as hip dysplasia.
Additionally, many plans have premiums that will
increase as your pet ages. Similarly to our health
insurance policies, it is common for pet owners to
choose to pay out of pocket for basic procedures
and allow pet insurance to protect our wallets
against emergencies. Various policies will not
cover common procedures, as they are excluded
from the plan. You can find plans that cover basic
procedures, prescriptions, and dental.
If the insurance policy you choose does not
cover common procedures or if insurance is
not for you, remember there are always ways to
care for your pet economically. You can ask your
veterinarian for free samples during visits. Also
you should look for discounted vaccinations or
flea and tick treatment. Additionally, be sure to
take advantage of pet voucher programs, especially
when the time comes to spay or neuter your dogs
and cats. In Monroe County you can receive
assistance to spay or neuter your pet through the
SNAP voucher program.

Training Your Pet
CLAIRE HURD
TRAINING YOUR DOG
our family pet needs more than treats and
an occasional walk. Like children, dogs
need to understand that there are rules and
boundaries in their world. Boundaries ensure
that your dog and your family and friends are safe.
Rules provide a framework upon which mutual
trust is built.
Ralph Major at Southernmost Training says
“The four basic commands every dog and owner
need to master are: down, sit, stay and come.” A
typical group class with Major involves a group
of six or more dogs of various breeds and ages,
and their owners, who also vary from late teens
to retirees. Karen Prince works with Major, and
she says obedience class “Is really about training
people.” Prince was given a dog for security after
she was violently attacked several years ago, and
she has embraced the lessons she learned with her
dog. A canine companion can learn many useful
behaviors including personal protection, or agility
Y
training, but only with consistent training.
There are different approaches to
dog training, but every trainer agrees that
consistency is key. The best results will be
obtained when you reward the dog for good
behavior, and ensure that inappropriate
behavior is not rewarded. Dogs learn through
the immediate consequences of their behavior.
Keep individual training sessions short, and
work on just a few skills in each session.
To avoid boredom, try doing five or ten
repetitions of one behavior, such as “Sit,” and
then switch to another behavior. Reinforce the
skills that the dog has mastered by using those
commands at various locations – indoors,
outdoors, on walks, etc. – throughout the day.
Make sure that unwanted behavior is
never rewarded. Turn away or look at the
sky if your dog jumps up to greet or play with
you. As soon as the dog sits you can then turn
to give her the attention she wants. If a dog
gets too rough during play, say “Ouch!” in a
sharp tone and abruptly stop playtime. Make
sure that the dog receives the same message
from every member of your household. If
a child ignores the dog when it barks, but
grandmother gives the dog a treat for the same
behavior – you will wind up with a confused or
even stressed-out dog.
Any dog and their owner will benefit
from formal training. Trainer Kaitlin Snider
of Island Dog Training in Big Pine Key, travels
up and down the Keys to provide dog training
in private homes. She said it is important to
begin training as soon as bring your dog home.
“Dogs don’t understand why humans hold
grudges. They live in the moment, so it is necessary
to immediately reward positive behavior.” If a dog
has specific issues, such as aggressive behavior
toward other animals, a professional trainer can
teach both dog and owner strategies to stop the
behavior. When you take your pet home from
obedience class, repeat the techniques learned
there, so the pet understands that the same
behavior is expected and rewarded at all times.
Major and Snider both advise too that every
dog needs to be trained how to walk. A dog that
gets adequate exercise is less likely to resort to
barking or chewing issues.
Walking together
provides you with a shared experience that will
always enhance the lifelong bond between you and
your four-footed friend.
TRAINING YOUR CAT
search of the internet and the phone book
yields no results for “Cat Trainers” in the
Florida Keys. The ASPCA website suggests
using positive reinforcement, just as you would
with a dog. Say “Sit,” and give the cat a treat or a
scratch behind the ear if it obeys. Some websites
A
suggest using a spray bottle of water to train your
cat to stay off kitchen counters, but with the caveat
that you should never let the cat see you squirt the
bottle, as it may run away, or worse, seek revenge.
(Good luck!)
Punishing a cat verbally or physically creates
stress, and stress is one of the most common causes
of problem behavior in cats.
Up in Big Coppitt Key there is a woman
who walks her cat on a leash almost every day.
Down at the Key West Westin Pier at Sunset,
Dominique LeFort and his Flying Housecats put
on a nightly show that provides proof positive that
cats can be trained. With decades of patience,
consistency, and little bit of tuna, you too might
be able to train your cat to walk on a leash or jump
through a flaming hoop… if it happens to be in the
mood to please you.

CLAIRE HURD
L
iving on a remote island chain, it is almost
certain that you will need to spend time away
from your pet someday. Whether the reason
for a temporary separation is business, pleasure or
a family emergency, it is important to make sure
your pet is cared for in your absence.
If you are facing a double shift at work, or an
overnight trip, you may rely on a friend or neighbor
who can stop in to feed your pet. However, for
longer trips, you should consider your pet’s safety
and comfort, by placing the animal at a reputable
kennel, or engaging the services of a professional
pet sitter, to provide care in your absence.
To find a great pet sitter, ask your friends for
recommendations. Ask around at the local dog
park, ask your vet, at local pet stores, groomers, and
open the phone book too. Professional pet sitters
advertise online and in local newspapers. Check
for reviews, on websites such as Yelp and Angie’s
List.
As soon as you know your travel plans, call more
than one pet sitter, and ask many questions. Be
prepared also to answer questions that the pet sitter
will have about your pet and your expectations.
The first question you should ask is whether
the pet sitter is available for the dates you will
need them. If you want to visit your family for
the holidays, book early. Many pet sitters are
one-person operations. Make sure that they have
additional staff on-call in case of emergency.
Alison Higgins, owner of Sustainable Pooch
Pet Sitters, says that a pet owner should consider
the high level of trust they need to place in a
professional pet sitter. A pet sitter will have access
to your house in your absence, and will assume
responsibility for the care and comfort of furry,
finned or feathered family members.
Higgins specializes in overnight stays, which
affords dogs and cats the comfort of a person
to play, feed, and keep them company for many
consecutive hours. Sustainable Pooch includes
a team of up to three additional sitters, which
means that clients will get timely care even if an
unforeseen situation (a broken car, for example),
could interfere with your sitter’s on-time arrival.
Most pet sitters, however, will work with a
client to provide a certain number and type of
services -- such as feeding and walking -- per day.
PETS
Choosing a Pet Sitter
Ask a prospective pet sitter about their fees and
schedule for various services, and agree upon a
written contract. A cat may be content with a daily
feeding, a frog may require even less care, but a
puppy requires a lot of time, attention and training.
Discuss special medical needs, such as pills or
insulin injections, to make sure your pet sitter
has the knowledge and experience to maintain
necessary therapy in your absence.
Ask also for written proof that a pet sitter
is bonded and carries liability insurance. When
granting access to your home, insurance helps
to protect your assets and your pet, in the event
something unexpected happens. A pet sitter is not
the same as a home watch service, but most are
willing to do additional small tasks, such as picking
up mail and watering plants, which help to ensure
the security of your home while you are away.
Finally, invite the pet sitter to your home, and
introduce them to your pet. If possible, take a walk
with the pet sitter and your pet(s), to observe how
the pet sitter interacts with your pet. Your pet will
thank you for introducing them to a new best friend
-- the kind and caring professional who will provide
for them when you are away.

Pet Allergies
RACHEL SIMPSON
T
is the season to be sneezing! As autumn rolls
around the corner we may find ourselves
concerned with our own itchy eyes, but did
you know that the small and silent members of
our family may be just as susceptible to allergens?
That’s right; man’s best friend can suffer from
allergies too.
Some pet allergy symptoms may go unnoticed
or passed off as another problem, there are some
signs that you may want to pay attention to.
Continual head shaking, unwarranted licking or
gnawing in a specific area or chronic diarrhea are
all tell tale signs that your dog may have an allergy.
Cat’s allergy symptoms are slightly different, we see
discharge from the ears, patchy zones of hair loss,
sneezing, and scabbing from excessive scratching.
Although seasonal allergies such as pollen could
affect your pet, it is more likely that they are
suffering from different types of allergies. Some of
the most common allergens that plague our furry
friends include: food allergies, insect reactions
from flea or ticks, and dust mites.
Changing your animal’s food may be a quick fix
to combat their allergy. If food is not the issue, you
may try other tactics such as wiping off their paws
with a cool, clean, damp rag after walks. This helps
to remove any allergen they may have picked up
outside. Also, you may prevent allergens from being

tracked through the home by taking off your shoes
too. If it is insect bites are the cause of your pet’s
allergy, you can find many great over the counter
products to treat fleas and ticks or discuss with your
veterinarian a monthly prescription of flea and tick
medicine. Dust mites are a common allergen that
can afflict our pets. Dust mites are microscopic
critters that thrive in humid, dark places such as
wall to wall carpeting and bedding. A protein found
in dust mites body parts and feces are the cause of
the allergic reaction experienced by our pets and
our selves. By allowing our pets on our furniture
and bedding we are actually exposing them to the
mites. Dust mites allergens are difficult to rid from
our home because the allergen does not go away
by simply killing the mites. Prevention is always
the best way to help your pet, but if it is a little too
late, you may take a few steps to speed up their dust
mite allergen recovery. Once a month throw their
toys and bedding in the wash machine. You should
use hot water and a mild detergent to sanitize
their belongings. Vacuuming and steam cleaning
is a great way to pull the mite partials out of your
fabrics. Freezing your pet’s toys will also kill dust
mites. Furthermore, bathing your dog or cat once
every two weeks in a pet shampoo that contains
oatmeal or aloe will help to soothe their itchy skin.
Remember, it is important not to over-bath because
dry skin will be more irritating for your pet. If these
remedies do not ease your pet’s discomfort, you
might consider scheduling an appointment with
your veterinarian for a pet allergy test. The allergy
test varies in price by local veterinarians, but it a
sure way to contest allergy season.
The Animal Farm
Nestled under the parking garage at the Stock
Island Detention Center you will find the Monroe
County Sheriff’s Office Animal Farm. The Animal
Farm originated as a refuge for ducks. Since then
it has grown. For the past seven years, supervisor
Jeanne Selander has cultivated the farm to what
we have the privilege of visiting today. Abandoned,
abused, confiscated or donated, each animal on
the farm will have a place to live and be cared
for in a safe environment. Jeanne and her team
of non violent inmate-trustees care for more
than two hundred animals on a daily basis. Their
commitment to properly care for each animal is
a time consuming passion. The trustees spend
eight hours a day and seven days a week on the
farm. On the other hand, Jeanne calls the farm
home. She says that it is her labor of love and even
when she is not on the premises you may find her
traveling with the animals for community events,
or brainstorming improvements. The Animal Farm

ndeniable, The Florida Keys has a vibrant
animal presents. In Key West we have all
heard the neighborhood roosters or spotted
a notorious stray kitty and as we travel up the mile
markers we watch cautiously for the endangered Key
Deer. Yet, who would have known that our precious
little chain of islands is home to a remarkable petting
zoo or a fourteen acre Aqua Ranch.

attractions; giving us island dwellers the opportunity to
glimpse at animals we otherwise may never see. On the
farm you can expect to observe different breeds of horses,
pigs, and goats. The farm is also home to different types
of exotic animals including. Some of the exotic animals
that are unique to the farm are, Tucker and Winnie the
kinkajous, a feisty pizza crust eating lemur, a family of
Patagonian cavies, large land tortoises, a variety of reptiles,
and many more. The most exciting attraction came by
surprise when the pair of sloths, Maggie and Mo recently
gave birth to a healthy baby sloth named Maddie. Jeanne
says that although she is feels close to all of the animals,
she and the sloths have the best connection, especially
because they travel with her to all of the community
events that she presents. Currently, Jeanne has turned her
attention to designing a perfect habitat for the new prairie
dog collection. Jeanne is the only employee of the farm,
and says that she is proud to carry on the legacy of Sheriff
Roth. The farm accepts donations but admission is free. It
is open every second and forth Sunday of the month.
The Aqua Ranch
The scenic drive towards that mainland can sometimes
feel like patterns of beautiful water and patches of mangrove
foliage. One may never realize that hidden behind that
foliage on Long Key there is a fourteen acre salt water lake
titled the Aqua Ranch. In contrast to the Monroe County
Sheriff’s Animal Farm, the Aqua Ranch is a for profit
marine restoration aquaculture facility. The mission of the
Aqua Ranch is to promote the restoration of marine life in
the Florida Keys. Kristin Kurtz and Charlie Barra lease and
operate the Aqua Ranch. Together they spend minimally
four hours a day on the ranch feeding their shark collection,
growing sea grasses, and non-mechanical bio-filtration
systems. Once matured, the bio-filtration systems can
then be placed in our canals to improve water quality.
The Aqua Ranch also subsidizes their facility through
farming spinney lobsters, oyster cultures and honey bees.
After spending an afternoon with the duo, one can
tell that their dream for the Ranch is to become a fully
functioning apex predator research facility; which would
allow the public to take tours, cage dive, and feed their
collection of sharks. On the ranch you will see lemon
sharks, nurse sharks, bonnet head sharks, and goliath
grouper. Kristen is the shark trainer, she says that she truly
feels a bond with her sharks and considers them her pets.
Frequently she dives with the sharks without the use of a
cage. One particular nine foot lemon shark by the name
of Stormy has even given her a dorsal fin ride. Kristin says
that “sharks are the new dolphins!” The Aqua Ranch is in
their final stages of permitting. Kristin and Charlie hope to
be open to the public in the beginning of next year.

H
ealthy pets everywhere need proper food,
shelter, exercise and vaccinations to protect
their well-being, and the health of their
owners.
Amber LaFleur, manager at Pampered Pet in Key
West, says “A balanced diet is the best preventative
care.” Veterinarians and food scientists have
determined the varied nutritional requirements of
pets over the lifespan, and a good pet store offers
a broad variety of products for discerning owners.
Generally, store staff has knowledge of their product
lines, and can help you select the right food to meet
the needs of your growing puppy, obese cat, or aged
pug.
Along with good food and clean water, your pet
needs plenty of exercise. Dr. Cynthia Sandhusen of
Doc Syn’s Veterinary Care in Cudjoe Key, says “motion
is lotion,” it improves joint fluid production, and is
vital for cardiovascular health, so your pet can have
a long and active life. She provides a mathematical
comparison: if a 25-pound dog gains 3 pounds, that
is comparable to a 160-pound person gaining 19
pounds. Maintaining your pet at a healthy weight is
important for disease prevention, protecting joints
and muscles, and as a hedge against heat stroke.

Caring For Your Pets
Clinic recommends annual checkups for dogs and
cats. Regular vaccines (rabies, parvovirus, bordetella
and others for dogs; rabies, FVRCP and others for
cats) are essential. In the tropics, parasites are
common and treatable. Occasionally, parasites
(think worms) may be visible in your pet’s feces, but
mostly they are not. A microscopic fecal check will
reveal the presence of parasite eggs, so your vet can
prescribe appropriate medication.
Heartworm, which is transmitted to dogs by
mosquitoes, can be fatal. Dogs in the Florida
Keys should be tested for heartworm annually,
and take a heartworm preventative year-round.
Heartworm medicine generally protects against a
broad spectrum of parasites that thrive in a warm
climate. Flea and tick prevention is also essential
for dogs and cats year round in this area that never
freezes.
Veterinarian Cynthia Sandhusen says that “coral
allergy is a myth,” but there are plenty of allergens
and parasites in the Keys that may cause discomfort
for your dog or cat. If your pet scratches often, you
should consult a veterinarian to determine why, and
how to effectively treat the condition. Always rinse
your pet after swimming, and brush frequently
to avoid mats. While some owners shave longhaired pets during the hot summer months, many
groomers advise that long coats actually provide
some insulation from the summer sun. If your dog
has little or no hair, sunburn is a real concern.
Bad breath is one common indicator that your
dog is in need of a dental check-up. You can keep
your dog’s teeth and gums healthy by brushing their
teeth once or twice a week with dog toothpaste on a
child’s soft toothbrush or a gauze pads. Periodontal
disease, an infection between tooth and gum can
result in tooth loss and spread infection throughout
the body, so you should also have your pet’s teeth
evaluated and cleaned periodically by a veterinarian
under general anesthesia.
The Florida Keys’ close proximity to the Atlantic
and the Gulf provide great opportunities for pet
exercise, but require extra vigilance to prevent
drowning or injuries. When you fish, keep lines
secure and do not leave bait on the hook to tempt
hungry pets.
Dr. Bailey says that heatstroke is a real concern
in the Florida Keys. Do not leave your pet in the car
-- not even parked in the shade with the windows
cracked. Dr. Sandhusen says that it is wise to
exercise during the coolest parts of the day, and a
good idea to bring water along, to hydrate your dog
periodically along the way, rather than waiting until
you get home.
Pet owners should also be aware that there
are common plants and household poisons that
pets may inadvertently ingest. Keep rodent and
insecticides out of the reach of pets. Anti-freeze and
many cleaning supplies are toxic as well. Throughout
the Keys, there is a rare chance that domestic dogs
or cats may encounter the non-native Bufo toad,
which secretes a highly toxic substance from glands
at the back of its head. Symptoms of poisoning may
include drooling, head-shaking, loss of coordination,
convulsions, and seizures. If you suspect your pet
has ingested poison, contact your vet immediately.
The ASPCA also operates a national pet poison
control hotline at 888-426-4435.

any of us take vitamins and supplements
on a daily basis to protect our bones,
and immune systems, although pet
supplements can be a debatable product. Does
our pet need similar protection? The answer to
this question is variable and because of this there
are some details to you should pay attention when
discovering what is best for your furry friend.
The first thing to consider when deciding if
vitamins are a healthful option for your pet is
their diet. If you feed your pet a commercially
processed dry food, they are already ingesting the
right amount of vitamins and minerals. On the
other hand, if you feed them a homemade dog food,
supplements might be necessary. A balanced diet
does not need additional supplements and adding
them could be harmful. For example, giving your
large breed puppy too much calcium can cause
skeletal problems down the road. Did you know
that an excessive amount of vitamin A damages
blood vessels or that too much vitamin D will cause
a dog to stop eating? Moreover, herbal supplements
that are commonly seen on the pet store shelf can
actually obstruct their medication. Even if pet
supplements must be FDA regulated, many pet
owners are oblivious to these sorts of details prior
to buying over the counter supplements for fluffy.

to be a great source of powerful antioxidants and
essential vitamins or minerals. Carrots, broccoli,
and spinach are all rich in nutrients and pet
safe. Cantaloupe, apples, pears, and oranges are
amazingly healthful for dogs and make a great
sweet treat. With Halloween around the corner you
may be surprised to know that a few teaspoons of
pumpkin added to your pet’s diet is great for their
intestinal health. Additionally, as island dwellers,
many of us have access to fresh fish. Do not hesitate
to introduce fish into your dog’s diet because the
fatty acids and fish oil that it contains will reduce
inflammation and make your pet’s coat shine.
Pet pro-biotics are another highly recommended
way to give your pet a healthy boost. Pro-biotics
are friendly bacteria that your pet can ingest. The
friendly bacteria will help to promote a healthy
digestive track protecting the lining of the digestive
track from infectious pathogens and stimulating
your pet’s immune system.
When it comes down to your little friend’s
health, research is crucial. If you do choose to use
pet supplements be sure to read the labels and know
exactly what to look for. Try to purchase brands
that advertise commissioned clinical research and
control checks on their product. You might even call

Protect pets from the heat in the Florida Keys
CITIZEN STAFF
K
eys residents know we still have two months
of high temperatures before our fall season
arrives in the Keys. Humans know how to
beat the heat, but what about your dog? Pets can
suffer from heat just like people.
There are steps you can take to help ensure
your dog doesn’t overheat in hot weather. Dawn
Bolka is a registered veterinary technologist and
full time veterinary technology instructor at Brown
Mackie College in Michigan City. She offers insight
into keeping your dog safe during the hot months.
“A dog’s normal body temperature is 101
degrees, and sometimes up to 102.5 degrees,” Bolka
said. “Match this base with rising temperatures,
and a pet can get hot quickly.” Fortunately, your pet
has two ways of cooling down. “Panting through
the mouth is a form of sweating. Dogs also sweat
through the bottoms of their feet,” she continued.
One of the first things Bolka recommends
doing for your pet is take time to brush out the
undercoat. Dogs shed twice a year — once in the
fall to lose the summer coat and once in the spring
to get rid of the winter coat. “Most dogs like the
brush. Removing the extra hair helps to keep your
dog cooler,” said Bolka.
Two of the most important things you can
give your dog in the summer are water and shade.
“Never leave a dog out in the sun — even in the
backyard — without an ample supply of drinking
water,” Bolka continues. “A shady area should be
within easy reach, providing the dog with a place to
get out of the heat. When given the options of both
sun and shade, dogs know when to take them.”
Another way to protect your dog from summer
heat is to be aware of the ground temperature.
“Pavement can get hot enough to fry an egg,”
says Bolka. “Taking a dog out for a mid-day walk
is a common mistake dog owners make, and it
It’s never a wise idea to leave a dog unattended in a car in the Florida Keys, even during the winter months.
Temperatures can hit 130 degrees in just a few minutes.
can result in burnt pads. It’s best not to walk or
run your animal in the heat of the day.” Much
like pavement, sand at the beach gets hot. Bolka
advises giving your dog access to a grassy area, or
protecting the dog’s feet with booties. Pool decks
are another culprit to consider. Bolka’s rule of
thumb is: If it burns your feet, it will burn your
dog’s feet.
It is not a good idea to shave a dog during hot
weather. “A dog’s summer coat actually insulates the
skin, offering protection from harmful ultraviolet
rays,” said Bolka. However, it is possible for a dog
to experience sunburn. “If your dog has a black
nose, the nose is protected from sunburn,” she
continues. “A pink nose is more susceptible to UV
rays. You will sometimes see a dog bury his nose
in dirt, caking mud on it for protection. As long as
dogs have shade and water, they tend to do well.”
Another bad idea is to leave your dog in a car
on a hot day, even with the windows cracked. The
American Veterinary Medical Association, reports
that temperatures in a car can rise 20 degrees in
just 10 minutes, and 30 degrees in half an hour.
“Heat builds up fast inside a sitting car,” Bolka
says. “A dog can suffer heat exhaustion in just 20
minutes.”
Heat exhaustion is defined by DogChannel.
com as a life-threatening condition that “occurs
when a dog’s respiratory tract cannot evacuate
heat quickly enough.” Signs that a dog is in heat
distress include excessive panting, thick saliva,
dark red gums, and non-responsiveness. “A dog
experiencing any of these symptoms should be
taken to a veterinarian immediately,” Bolka says.
“You can offer water, and place wet washcloths
on the dog, especially around the head and paw
pads.” The Indiana Veterinary Medical Association
cautions dog owners not to use ice or extremely
cold water on a dog with symptoms of heat
exhaustion. A veterinarian can run tests to find out
if any internal damage has occurred.
With a little knowledge and a lot of common
sense, you can help ensure your dog safely enjoys
Keys weather year round.

During emergencies, such as hurricane

Grooming
your Pet
RACHEL SIMPSON
W
hether you’re pet is a large breed or a
teacup, eventually they are going to need
to be groomed. Although it may be easier
to send your furry family member to a groomer, you
can save money and form a closer bond by having a
spa day for your pet at home. In order to properly
care for your pet, you will want to collect a few
products prior to the grooming date. Purchase a dog
or cat shampoo, these shampoos will not strip the oil
out of your pet’s coat. A blow dryer, a hair brush, a
towel and cotton balls are essential grooming tools.
You will need a set of dog nail clippers, it is important
that you do not use your own nail clippers, as they
could injure your pet. Other products that may
be helpful for grooming include ear cleaner, eye
cleaner, and a doggie tooth brush. Finally grab a
handful of treats because positive reinforcement will
make the process run much more smoothly.
Start by using the hair brush. Brush your pet
from the top of their head and neck and move down
towards their paws. This removes loose hair and
frees tangles. After brushing their fur use scissors to
clip away any unmanageable knots. Next take the
eye cleanser and a cotton ball to wipe any gunk or
discoloration away. The trickiest part of grooming
your pet can be cleaning their ear, so bust out the
treats! Clean ears are imperative to the grooming
process so start by looking in your pet’s ear. A healthy
ear should have no odor, even if it has some wax. You
should know that cold water or cleanser can hurt the
sensitive ear canal.
Start cleaning their ears by warming the cleanser
in the palm of your hand. Dab the warmed cleanser
with a cotton ball and gently swab the inside of
their ear. Avoid forcefully scrubbing their ears, this
aggravates the fragile skin and could cause damage.
After the ear looks clean you can place a droplet of
rubbing alcohol in the canal. Rubbing alcohol will
kill any remaining yeast, bacteria, and mites. Next
you should brush your pet’s teeth. A pet tooth brush
is different from ours because it looks like a piece of
rubber that slips over your index finger. The rubber
has small nubs that will remove tarter and buildup
away from your pet’s teeth.
Choose a pet tooth paste or simply lubricate
the brush with water. Slip the brush on your finger
and work around the teeth from one side of their
mouth to the other. After you are finished with their
teeth, move on to clip their nails. When giving your
pooch a manicure, it is best to clip a small portion
at a time. Each time you clip pay attention to where
their skin is attached under the nail. You should try
to avoid clipping the skin, but if you accidently clip
to far you may use a sprinkle of corn start to help clot
any bleeding.
Finally it is bath time. You may wash your pet
in a tub or shower. Begin by thoroughly rinsing your
pet in water before lathering them in shampoo.
Wash off the remainder of the shampoo and wrap
them in a towel to dry. After towel drying use your
low heat blow dryer to remove any excess water left
in their fur. Voila! Your homemade spa day will make
your furry family member happy, clean, and save the
both of you a trip to the groomer.

f you are a fortunate pet owner, there is a very
good chance that you will see your youngest
pet through its senior years. While preventive
care is important for animals of all ages and stages,
senior pets need close monitoring for conditions
that require special attention to ensure their golden
years (and yours!) remain comfortable.
Cynthia Sandhusen, DVM, of Doc Syn’s
Veterinary Care in Cudjoe Key says, “Pets can’t talk
and tell us how they feel.” A sick pet may eat.
They may wag or purr as emotional expressions,
but it does not always mean they are feeling fine.
Sandhusen says that responsible pet owners should
pay attention to any changes in their pet’s behavior.
Around seven years old, dogs should begin to get
senior wellness check-ups twice per year, including
periodic blood and urine exams.
Taking into account the old adage that one year
is equivalent to seven years in a dog’s lifespan, a lot
can transpire twelve months. Giant breeds, such
as Great Danes tend to age quickly, and may begin
to exhibit geriatric issues as early as age five or six,
while small breeds, such as Chihuahuas may stave
off “old age” until their teen years.
Age increases your pet’s risk for cardiac and
respiratory disease. Diabetes, arthritis, thyroid
conditions and periodontal disease also become
more common among geriatric pets. Changes in
water consumption, urination or physical activity
may indicate disease. A cat that is eating very well,
but loses substantial weight may have a thyroid
condition. Blood tests need to be done to confirm
any diagnosis, and help your vet determine the best

Maintaining a healthy weight is an important
factor in disease prevention and control. Extra fat
is a factor in the development of diseases such as
diabetes. Fat also acts as insulation, which can
make senior pets more subject to overheating in
the Florida Keys’ tropical climate. Extra weight puts
additional strain on the aging spine and joints.

Senior Pet Care 101
Your older pet’s quality of life can often be
improved through dietary changes, medication, or
minor adjustments in the home. If your pet has
joint issues, consider installing a ramp if the house
has stairs. Carpeting or floor mats are essential on
tile or hardwood floors, so the dog can maintain
good footing. Older dogs need regular exercise to
maintain the muscles that support aging joints, and
to maintain a healthy weight.
Senior pets can also experience hearing and/
or vision loss. You may notice this only when
the pet misses stair steps or runs into furniture.
In dogs and cats, the lens on the eye becomes
more opaque with age; or it could be a cataract
which may be treated. Doc Syn recommends
that pet owners maintain good lighting in the home,
so pets with low vision can see better. Keep an
eye on senior pets near water, because diminished
vision and hearing may increase the risk of falling
into the family pool or backyard canal.
Supplements for joint health, such as
glucosamine and chondroitin, can be helpful for
arthritic pets, but it is important to work with
your vet to ensure the correct dosage, and quality
of the medication. NSAIDS (such as aspirin
or ibuprofen) are often prescribed for pets -- but
in formulations specific to animals. Never share
human medicine with your pet.
Geoff Bailey, DVM, of the Key Largo Animal
Care Clinic, says that every dog needs up to date
vaccinations, and at every age, flea and tick and
heartworm prevention is essential. Spaying or
neutering is a good idea, even for an older pet.
Neutering substantially reduces prostate
concerns, and spaying minimizes a female pet’s risk
of mammary cancers and uterine infections.
With a healthy diet, exercise and regular checkups you can ensure your pet will have a long and
enjoyable life.

Five Fabulous
Ingredients for
your Pet’s Diet

e’ve all heard about super foods that we
should be adding to our diet because
of their antioxidant and nutrient-rich
properties, but did you know there are similar foods
for our pets, too?
Michele Dixon, a health and nutrition specialist
with Petcurean, offers her list of five ingredients to
consider for your pet’s diet. Some can be found
in premium quality recipes for cats and dogs, like
NOW FRESH, which is available at pet specialty
stores.
• Pumpkin -- We know that pumpkins are great for
carving and delicious in pies, but pumpkin also is
a source of fiber for pets that is high in vitamin A
and beta-carotene.
• Cranberries -- For many of the same reasons that
they are good for humans, cranberries also are
good for our pets. They are high in anti-oxidants
and also are a good source of fiber, vitamin C,
vitamin K and manganese, which aids in pet
urinary tract health.
• Papaya -- This delicious and exotic tropical fruit is
rich in vitamin B, which aids in cell metabolism,
and contains papain, an enzyme that can help in
a pet’s digestion.
• Chickpeas -- Many of us enjoy chickpeas in salads,
hummus and falafel balls. They also are good for
our pets because they are rich in prebiotics,
which stimulate the activity of bacteria in the
digestive system and aid healthy digestion.
• Cottage cheese -- This versatile food is a good
source of riboflavin, calcium, phosphorus
and selenium for our pets. Cottage cheese
contains only small amounts of lactose, so a
very small amount would not be an issue for
intolerant dogs.
