KEY WEST WEEKLY / MAY 13, 2016

By Hays Blinckmann The Keys Weekly is finishing up a three-part series this week investigating “Guns in the Keys.” For all of us here at the paper, we learned a lot, talked a lot, argued some, and in general, felt we gave a fair accounting of a sometimes socially taboo subject. So in an effort to completely exhaust every angle, we asked one final question…

Why is the U.S. obsessed with guns?

The signs of a heart attack can be different in women.

In fact, some women can experience a heart attack with no chest pain at all. So know the signs. If you feel them,

“It’s the media and rap music,” said high school student Adalyne Carine. “It’s always in the news and music, and puts a lot of crap in kids’ heads always talking about guns.”

get to an emergency room – fast. Call 911 and know that at Lower Keys Medical Center, we’re here to help when you need us.

LKMC.com Amanda Ingolia-Sir, mother, said guns give people a false sense of security.

“But people really aren’t acknowledging the dangers. Guns cause more harm than good,” she said.

Frank Kirwin is a Realtor. “Fear,” he said, “we are told to be afraid, so we are afraid and guns are the only way to overcome the fear.”

Jeff Ware, born in the UK, comes from a completely different culture when it comes to guns. “It is such an alien concept, I can’t even process an answer,” he said.

Nicole Dewine, retail consultant, said, “We feel like we need protection.”

When asked from who she replied, “I guess each other? But, personally, I don’t have one. I wouldn’t know how to use it right.”

CORRECTION: In the May 6 paper, a restaurant review of Key West Harbour contained incorrect information. The restaurant is not open to the public, however first-time guests can apply for a two-week pass. After the trial period, guests can purchase a membership or a day pass to use the facilities.

Gun owners can now apply for concealed weapons permits in Florida Keys offices County Tax Collectors Office to assist state agency

By Hays Blinckmann

M

onroe County has the most concealed weapons permits of any county in the state of Florida and the demand for the permits is still growing. The state Department of Agriculture processed more than 134,000 in Florida last fiscal year alone, and the agency is overburdened. Mailing in an application could mean a four or five month wait before the permit is issued and most Keys residents have taken to driving to Miami to cut the time to two or three weeks.

The DOA has found a solution in the Florida County Tax Collectors’ offices.

Legislated last year, certain tax collectors around the state have the “authority to take applications, fingerprint the applicants, photograph and send the coffers securely to the department for final determination issuing permits,” according to Danise Henriquez, Monroe County Tax Collector. Both the Key Largo and Key West offices will process applications.

“We will act as an agent for the DOA,” said Henriquez. She and seven county employees will be traveling to Tallahassee for a three-day training course in order to officially be able to process applicants. The two offices plan on accepting applications beginning Wednesday, May 18 in Key Largo, and Monday, May 23 in Key West.

Processing concealed weapons permits means revenue for Monroe County. One new permit will yield $22 in profit and one renewal of a permit will yield $12. (The license itself costs about $150 and includes the background check and fingerprinting fee.)

“And if there is extra revenue at the end of the year, we can use that elsewhere in the county,” said Henriquez.

To apply for a concealed weapons permit, an applicant must meet the Florida laws regarding gun ownership and be 21 or older, demonstrate competency with a firearm certified by training course, and reside in the United States as a citizen or resident alien, unless serving in the U.S. Army overseas.

GUNS IN THE KEYS AND PUBLIC OPINION

By Hays Blinckmann

G

uns are proving to be our American Achilles heel, our red button, our detonator for every emotion opposable thumbs gave us. There is just no clear right or wrong when it comes to the gun issue. Whether being for or against guns, the topic seems driven and centered around people’s emotions, opinions and personal history. By law and constitution, Americans have the right to own guns. The laws in Florida regarding gun ownership are painted with broad strokes, other states have more restrictions. And there’s no denying that there are far more laws that exist to address what happens when a gun is misused or used to take a human life.

We asked locals in a variety of public positions, how they felt personally about guns in their lives. Below are the ones who responded, those willing to participate in a calm conversation. Others chose not to respond, citing their legitimate concerns about jobs, kids, home addresses and ex-wives and exhusbands.

Guns are here, so let’s talk about it.

• Debi Gillis is the Mayor of Islamorada. In 2015, she was attacked on the premises of the hotel where she works and lives.

“I believe that if you own a gun, your chances of being involved in a gun incident increase and unless you are very serious about shooting to kill, you should not put yourself in that position.”

• Trey Scudder is a Naval Reserve Officer and travels the world serving with our Armed Forces. He and his wife own several guns and keep all weapons safely locked, not in a car or within reach of children. He uses guns to provide both self-defense and sport: “We need to enforce the gun laws that are already on the books before engaging in lengthy dialogue about adding more rules and regulations to an arguably over-regulated industry to begin with. There is a tremendous amount of misinformation out there concerning guns and gun control. I encourage both sides of the gun control debate to conduct their own research and base their arguments on facts rather than emotions.”

• Heidi Golightly is the director of the non-profit Keys Be the Change which helps kids with mentoring, educational programs, and empowerment in their school and social life.

“Nothing good can come out of gun ownership. I feel that guns are way too easy to buy. They are in pawn shops and in the classified section of the paper. I would support laws that require a mental health screening as well as laws requiring background checks for all those seeking to own a gun. I also would make it public knowledge as to who owns guns in our communities.”

• Dr. Ayden Atilla is a physician and director of the ER for Lower Keys Medical Center. Having practiced sharp shooting in the past, Dr. Atilla is not opposed to owning a gun but is wary of accidents, or having guns around children.

“In terms of gun violence, I have mixed feelings. I am afraid, in a country that has more guns than the number of humans, the chances of gun control is meaningless. Doing background checks is fine, however, I doubt it will be effective. The only way we get sensible gun use is to teach young generations that we are no longer living in Wild West. Meanwhile, this country has to address issues of mental illness which is major part of collapsing health care system and emphasize parent-driven moral values, not education-driven values which tend to miss opportunities to identify children who are at risk for high risk behavior.”

• John Dick is an elected Monroe County School Board Member and a Vietnam Veteran “I believe in the right of an American to own a gun. I do believe, however, that there should be limitations; for example, felons or people with serious emotional problems shouldn’t be holding a gun, so I believe in the background check. I am not in favor of teachers and administrators having guns at school. New schools are designed to be more secure. We can prepare for that type of situation, but there’s no guarantee.”

OPINION

KEY WEST WEEKLY / MAY 13, 2016

WEEKLY EDITORIAL

THE ‘REAL’ INCENTIVE

A closer look at Peary Court & affordable housing deals

I

t came and went as fast as nosee-um bite on your ankle. After a year of Peary Court debates, proposed inspections and a failed referendum, the Key West City Commission approved $12.5 million of County Land Authority funds to be handed over to a private corporation, the Cornfeld Group. And a May 18th approval by the BOCC seems inevitable.

There are certainly valid arguments from supporters and dissenters. Supporters will point to the preservation of 157 units of workforce housing. In addition, the $12.5 million incentive will deed restrict the entire property and future development in perpetuity.

Dissenters argue there was not ample time to make an informed decision. In addition, Key West City Commissioner Sam Kaufman continues to question whether County policy allows for Land Authority funds to be allocated to private entities. Regardless, anyone who has examined the affordable housing crisis in Monroe County understands that unless taxpayers are willing to, or can, bear the entire expense, private investors need to be incentivized to build.

Some will point to the $12.5 million for the Cornfield Group to deed restrict Peary Court as affordable housing an example of incentive. But, here’s the important part, it’s not the only profitable aspect of this deal.

Keep in mind that Peary Court has approximately 107 “market rate” allocations and once the buildings are deed restricted, those allotments can legally be moved “off” of the property for new developments, increased density on another lot or sold to other developers. While it’s unlikely another developer will buy every single one in a single deal, keep in mind the allocations in question have a conservative value of $75,000.

Are you doing the math yet? The conservative value of the market rate permits hints at an additional $8.2 million to go along with the $12.5 million in Land Authority Funds — thus gifting the Cornfeld group a $20 million incentive on a $60 million property.

That’s $40 million for Peary Court for those without a calculator, which is not bad for a project for which the City was willing to pay $55 million.

Before the investors can sell, or move, the market rate allocations from Peary Court, they must replace them with affordable housing allocations, either petitioning the City of Key West or Monroe County. And there’s still plenty — Key West still has 700 affordable housing permits to give out before 2023, the stateimposed deadline for Keys “build out.”

No one can blame the Cornfeld Group — or any other developer in Monroe County to come before or after — for exploring such a great investment. But the taxpayers and voters deserve to understand this wrinkle before For example, before dishfuture development agreeing out affordable allocations, ments are made. Similar deals governments could dictate that have already been structured in portions of monthly rents on Monroe County, most recently affordable housing units be with the Oceanside property on deemed “low income” — effecStock Island along with Marathon tively setting a low monthly rent. businessman Brian Schmitt’s Or the bargain could include the proposal to deed-restrict existing investors giving back a portion housing in order to move market of the market rate allocations to allocations to new construction. avoid the looming dark cloud of There’s no conspiracy loom“taking” lawsuits when the Keys ing over Peary Court nor is it a run out of permits before it runs bad deal for anyone advocating out of buildable lots. for affordable housing. However, Everyone — taxpayers, the county and Keys municicitizens, developers and offipalities have serious, untapped cials — need to be aware that a negotiating power within these misstep here can have serious deals. affects on housing value, affordable housing stocks and hurricane evacuations times. And one can only hope that governments utilize the incredible, and seldom talked about, market rate incentives hidden within deed restricted properties — because one can be assured that investors are eager to expoit the opportunity.

The taxpayers and voters deserve to understand this wrinkle before future development agreements are made.

WEEKLY INTERVIEW

KEY WEST WEEKLY / MAY 13, 2016

with

ROSI WARE 12. Memorable celebrity that you’ve met? Talking to Al Gore; he loves the Keys and Francis Coppola, such an adorable man and loves his wines.

And Mel Gibson, gorgeous eyes, but shorter than me.

By Hays Blinckmann

R

osi Ware is a little bit like Glenda the Good Witch mixed with a roadie from AC/DC. She is super cool, has lived three lifetimes in one with lots of stories to tell, and makes good things happen for people with seemingly a wave of her wand. Coming from an English dairy farm and graduating with a degree in Ergonomics from Loughborough Institute of Technology, England, Rosi started working at the European Space Agency. (This immediately makes her journey to Key West sound infinitely more interesting.) Advertising being more profitable, she eventually worked her way into widely known companies like Mars and Cadbury. Then Rosi became a senior VP with the Kantar Group USA and, somewhere in the middle of running the world, she ran into Key West and fell in love with it.

Moving here in 2000 full time with husband of 35 years, Jeff Ware, Rosi has embedded herself in our community with undeniable flare and vigor. She has assumed roles as president of the Key West Garden Club, The Studios Of Key West, and is one of the most cherished MARC House counselors, volunteering countless hours taking residents to events and functions around Key West. In 2013, Rosi earned the Florence Spottswood Humanitarian of the Year award and this year she threw herself in to acting — headlining the play “Love Letters” at The Studios of Key West in order to raise money for a public rooftop garden at same. Oh, and Rosi has been recognized by The Queen as one of 75 women in 75 years who made a difference in England.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY.

13. Best food ever? Worst drink ever? The spectacular Indian cuisine served every night on the amazing “Maharaja Express” (more luxurious Indian version of the Orient Express) and arrack, local firewater in Sri Lanka.

14. Who would you go on a date with: Robert Redford, Mick Jagger or Nelson Mandela?

Have already been on several dates with Bob Redford, I worked with him for a couple of years.

I have never found Mick that sexy. So it would have to be Nelson Mandela, who I would absolutely love to meet … and I’d want the date to go on for weeks, I think, so much to learn from this truly great man.

15. If you could change someone’s opinion, what would it be? Donald Trump not to run for President.

Finish these sentences..

1. Full Name? Rosemary Jean Ware.

2. Would you rather be lead singer in a band or run a country? Lead singer, absolutely. If only I could sing!

3. If you could remove one person from any media contact, who would it be? Donald Trump.

4. Who is your celebrity crush and why?

Chris Helmsworth because he has the sexiest voice, never mind the bod and those eyes!

Have you seen “Rush,” never mind “Thor”?

Also Hugh Laurie — clever, witty. Have you see “The Night Manager”?

5. What is your pet peeve in other people?

Self-centeredness.

6. What are you scared of? Being buried alive or, more realistically, Jeff (my darling husband) dying before me.

7. Which TV character is your alter ego? Patsy from “Absolutely Fabulous Dahling.”

8. What is your nerdiest passion? Weird plants, some may even say they are ugly.

9. What is one thing that always, always makes you happy? Leroy, our small crazy shelter dog.

10. If invisible what would you do? Sit in and watch what our pets do whilst we are not there.

Have you seen the trailer for “Secret Lives of Pets”?

11.What was your first thought this morning?

Jeff, my wonderful husband of 35 years.

16. Living in Key West … is the best thing I have ever done/ place I’ve ever stayed/ lived/ whatever.

17. My autobiography would be titled … “A Whole Lotta Rosi” (nod to AC/DC).

18. I will change (fill in blank) when (fill in blank) … I will change my hairstyle when I’m 90!

19. Helping others … should be what everyone does naturally.

20. I would have my last meal with … Jeff.

D

enise Lieske had endured a stroke and the cold winters of Lonsdale, Minnesota, her home of 20 years, were causing her to suffer. Searching for a solution, her beloved husband and chiropractor, Dr. Bruce Lieske came across White Street Chiropractic for sale last March and by July they were taking a chance on Key West as a solution.

Leaving their former practice in the capable hands of their son, the Lieskes brought a lifetime of chiropractic experience to Key West and were the perfect replacement for retiring Ross Williams.

With a jovial wit and warm demeanor, Lieske offers traditional chiropractic care, nutritional supplements and the only K Laser treatment in Key West (a painless procedure that can reduce swelling, improve circulation and reduce pain). One of his specialties is advanced training in pediatric care.

“I have treated patients from 3 years old to 97 years old. I also work extensively with advanced spinal trauma. I even treat ailments such as TMJD (Tempura Mandibular Jaw Disfunction) or something as simple as hives,” said Lieske.

Key West has been a new adventure for the Lieskes who came from a town of only 3,500 people. They have already joined the Sunset Rotary, the Lions Club — they have been Lions for 17 years — and the Chamber Guild. They volunteered for AIDS Help’s Taste of Key West this year and spend every Friday night at the Bottle Cap Lounge supporting and getting to know the variety of local charities.

“People here are nicer and embrace you easier than in the north. The variety of people is amazing and it is cool to hear everyone’s stories,” said Denise, who doubles as the receptionist, and is doing much better physically in our tropical warmth. “There are so many restaurants, we are just eating our way through Key West and loving it.”

When asked about the difference between Lonsdale and Key West, Lieske immediately laughed, “I had never heard of a ‘locals discount’ before.”

Everyone in Lonsdale probably just knew the Lieskes and soon, everyone in Key West will too.

Join the All-boat Fun Run June event raises funds for soccer club The poker run — at least one stop is out at the sandbar — ends with a party at Murray Marine, and then an after-party at Two Friends Patio.

Weekly Staff report

L

et’s face it, living in the Keys has certain perks, but nothing tops a weekend on the water — particularly when it’s for a great cause.

The 2016 All Boat Fun Run is back for a second year, which will host more than 100 boats for fun, poker and sun in Key West. Participants will collect poker cards and make stops at Boca Grande, Snipe Key and other locations around the Southernmost island.

Much of the proceeds will be donated to the Boys Soccer Club in Key West, but lucky winners will have a chance to land a handsome bounty and other great prizes. A registration party is scheduled for Friday, June 3 at Two Friends Patio (512 Front Street) and begins at 6:30 p.m.

“It’s just and all around great

time,” said Two Friends Patio’s Danny Hughes, who is organizing the event with Murray Marine for a second year.

“We had people from as far up as Big Pine last year and we fully expect participants from Key Largo and beyond in 2016. We really hope to make this a Keys-wide event that is open to our neighbors.”

The Fun Run will kickoff on Saturday, June 4 at Murray Marine on Stock Island. A BBQ lunch will be served at Boca Grande and Big Daddy Rich Rogenmoser will perform live at Murray Marine as the participants return to the dock at the end of the day. There, participants will collect their final card and a winner will be named, along with other activities such as the annual karaoke songfest.

Two Friends Patio will host an after party where participants will be treated to drink specials and other prizes. For more information call Lee at Murray Marine at 305-296-0364.

he interior is bright and refreshing, as was the fresh squeezed lemon and limeade with which we started. A multi-leveled, open setting allows the diner a fantastic view of the Whitehead Street promenade. As we enjoyed a Mimosa with, you guessed it, fresh-squeezed orange juice, no less than a dozen train and trolley tours passed us by, passengers waving.

Either before or after your meal, you can peruse the charming gift shop for any feline-related tchotchkes, or an award-winning Key Lime Pie to go.

The catch of the day came highly recommended by our attentive and informative server, Daniel, and it can be prepared in a variety of ways, including a Benedict. But we opted for another of his suggestions, the Blackened Shrimp Benedict. The firm, flavorful shrimp, paired with ripe tomato and avocado, as well as the other traditional Benedict components, proved to be an excellent and unexpected combination. You could also build your own breakfast sandwich, or omelette, and the Cat offers a variety of sweet breakfast offerings to satisfy any taste.

I started off with the spinach salad, with fresh raspberry vinaigrette that features fresh raspberries pureed daily.

I followed up with the homemade burger, so as not be overtly healthy. This big boy comes with barbeque sauce, Dijon mustard, cheese, and spices mixed right into the beef.

uns are a hot mess. Recently, I took on the task of researching Florida gun laws. Why? I simply wanted to know more about this huge part of American culture that could change my life with one night out on Duval Street. And the only metaphor that sums it up is: the issue of guns is one hot, hot mess.

Guns are like that polarizing girl at the party who seems exciting, dangerous and unpredictable. Let’s call her Gunny. You don’t know Gunny, but you heard a lot bad stories and you don’t necessarily trust her. It’s a blurred line whether the trouble starts with the people she is hanging out with or whether it’s just her. Others defend Gunny, say she isn’t so bad, even fun, not to be so judgmental, and get inordinately mad when you say anything against her. They say Gunny has a right to be anywhere and everywhere (as decreed by some wig-wearing anglophile). So Gunny causes problems, damages relationships, is always there when something bad happens. Gunny is drama. Gunny is a hot mess.

HAYS In order to fully educate myself, I shot a gun BLINCKMANN and I hated it. Absolutely nothing about it gave me Hays Blinckmann a thrill, was fun, or empowered me. Standing in a is an oil painter, room with guns being fired around me felt like tiny author of the atomic bombs going off. I was out of control, at novel “In The Salt,” the mercy of trusting some stranger not to move lover of all things German including six inches to the right and take my life — a muchhusband, children needed wife, mother, and not-award-winning jourand Bundesliga. She nalist. I thought about the bullets piercing my two spends her free time small children, other people’s children. I thought developing a font how disturbing that “recreational” fun was to fanfor sarcasm, testing foreign wines and tasize about shooting another person (most paper failing miserably at targets were outlines of people). I thought about home cooking. how I wouldn’t carry a vile of Ebola or nuclear waste on me, why would I carry a gun? I thought, “Guns don’t make sense to me.”

It comes down to human life. If I choose to own or use a gun, I better be prepared to take a human life and that I am not. Not to sound crass, but that ain’t on my bucket list — and to be fair neither is Mt. Everest or a boob job. Many people keep selling me the idea of fear as a reason to own a gun. Apparently, there is some inexplicably strong Goliath out there who can get through my hurricane impact windows, but will then give me a second while I retrieve my locked box, wait (I am a little nervous while I do the combination to get my gun), so I can shoot him while he is simultaneously over powering me. (I might win Power Ball too).

For me, letting Gunny into my home just isn’t worth the risk of putting my kids or potentially anyone else’s life in harms way. Let’s just say, I’d prefer my kids alive and complaining that the only hot mess they know is my cooking.
